(AP Photo/Antarctic Heritage Trust) (AP) -- A crate of Scotch whisky that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened Friday - but the heritage dram won't be tasted by whisky lovers because it's being preserved for its historical significance.

Get 50-90% off your city's best! - www.Groupon.com The crate, recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton after it was found there in 2006, has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island. The crate was painstakingly opened to reveal 11 bottles of Mackinlay's Scotch whisky, wrapped in paper and straw to protect them from the rigors of a rough trip to Antarctica for Shackleton's 1907 Nimrod expedition. Though the crate was frozen solid when it was retrieved earlier this year, the whisky inside could be heard sloshing around in the bottles. Antarctica's minus 22 Fahrenheit (-30 Celsius) temperature was not enough to freeze the liquor, dating from 1896 or 1897 and described as being in remarkably good condition. This Scotch is unlikely ever to be tasted, but master blenders will examine samples of it to see if they can replicate the brew. The original recipe for theScotch no longer exists. Once samples have been extracted and sent to Scottish distiller Whyte and Mackay, which took over Mackinlay's distillery many years ago, the 11 bottles will be returned to their home - under the floorboards of Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds on Ross Island, near Antarctica's McMurdo Sound. Whisky lover Michael Milne, a Scot who runs the Whisky Galore liquor outlet in Christchurch, described the rare event as a great experience. "I just looked at this (crate) and honestly, my heartbeat went up about three paces. It was amazing," he said. "The box was like a pioneer's box with the wood and nails coming out," he said. Although Milne said he'd give anything to have a taste of the whisky. "It is not going to happen and I am not going to get excited about it," he said. "But if there was ever an opportunity, it could be a wonderful one to have." Nigel Watson, executive director of the Antarctic Heritage Trust, which is restoring the explorer's hut, said opening the crate was a delicate process. The crate will remain in cold storage and each of the 11 bottles will be carefully assessed and conserved over the next few weeks. Some samples will be extracted, possibly using a syringe through the bottles' cork stoppers.<br style="clear: both; "> ©2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

thank you-- ...........know what you mean. i've spent more than a little time looking, and studying, and thinking about that photo.

commercial infested, plug laden nasal twanged adolescent wknr sucks. many of the hosts should never be behind a microphone. you and i can talk sports in a bar just as well, except we dont have a mic and don't drive a free new loaner auto to plug from a local car dealer. wtam sounds like they are in a metal tunnel; they dont exist. cbs does sports talk radio really well. wscr--chicago(terry boers and dan bernstein, afternoon hosts, are arrogant, knowledgeable, and funny) and wfan--ny are my favorite sports stations. espn and fox network corporate plug speak carried locally is unbearably unbearable. i refuse to listen. here's hoping the new cbs cleveland sportstalker gets here very soon. http://ohiomediawatch.wordpress.com/ That Pesky FM Sports Rumor JULY 20, 2011 BY OHIOMEDIAWATCH 6 COMMENTS We've talked about it on Twitter. We've posted about it on message boards. We've vaguely hinted about it here. But with rumors once again floating around about CBS Radio converting one of its Cleveland FM stations to a sports station, is it about to happen? It may be, says Radio-Info.com columnist Tom Taylor, in this morning's Taylor on Radio-Info column. We haven't heard much, at all, from CBS Radio's operations locally. But Tom tracks down an interesting piece of information related to such a format change, which the columnist says "could be happening soon": Is there a sports PD on the loose, one who just recently resigned from another station with no announced destination? He may be headed to Cleveland, and not just for a deluxe tour of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. CBS Radio has kept quite a lid on this locally. We have been "pinging" various contacts in the sports media world here, and haven't gotten any word of big "signings" you'd expect for a full-blown move into such a format. But Taylor apparently has sources outside the market, who know of an outside hire-to-be that would program the would-be sports station. (And an actual program director for a Cleveland sports radio station? What a concept!) Taylor's item speculates that the target station for the format change could indeed be alt-rock WKRK/92.3 "Radio 92.3″, which has been without a regular weekday air staff since the revamping of the alt-rock format some time ago. And here's an odd twist. On his classic rock WNCX/98.5 morning show and on Facebook, morning driver Maxwell has announced that he'll "walk down the hall" Thursday and do an afternoon drive shift on…"Radio 92.3″, in addition to his regular WNCX show. It's a "one time" thing, says Maxwell on his Facebook page. Hmm. Do they need to check if live microphones still work in the WKRK studios? We've been skeptics about this from the start, of course. One reason is that we've been told numerous times that "Radio 92.3″, with extremely low overhead (electricity and music licensing, basically, give or take some weekend talent, some shared with other stations in the cluster), actually makes money for CBS Radio. Another reason? CBS Radio has supposedly long sought to sell off its Cleveland cluster, along with other non-top 10 market clusters. But in the current economic market, there would appear to be no ready buyers for an entire cluster of four class B FM stations in a market the size of Cleveland, and we've heard that CBS has no interest in selling off the stations separately or at a deep discount. Just a short drive up the Ohio Turnpike and I-75, the company's WXYT/97.1 "The Ticket" FM sports outlet is a ratings superstar, showing up atop the Detroit ratings much of the year. Has the company finally decided that trying to replicate that here in Cleveland is worth the investment? Is this finally going to happen? We can't say. We've (again) heard no confirmation here of any such activity, though plenty of people even remotely connected to sports radio are asking us how to apply. With no PD in place (yet, apparently), we've been suggesting contacting local CBS Radio SVP/market manager Tom Herschel. Or maybe a better bet would be to contact the PD of "The Ticket" in Detroit (Jimmy Powers), since that operation would certainly provide some guidance for a similar operation in Cleveland. But with the smoke from a would-be FM sports radio conversion getting out of crunchy rumor phase – the rumors have picked up again recently – we thought it was finally time to approach the topic, even if we don't know for sure that it's about to happen…

i haven't played back the program yet. i'll listen for it.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/graphene-discovery-may-lead-to-faster-computers-2319914.html Graphene discovery may lead to faster computers By Steve Connor, Science Editor Monday, 25 July 2011 Electronic devices, from mobile phones to computers, could work much faster if they were made from the thinnest substance in the world, scientists from Manchester University have discovered. Studies on graphene, a revolutionary material made of a single layer of carbon atoms, have revealed that electrons – subatomic particles that result in electricity – travel many times faster than in silicon, the basis of all modern computer chips. The discovery suggests that it may be possible to create a new generation of super-fast mobile phones and computers based on graphene. Professor Kostya Novoselov of Manchester University, who shared last year's Nobel prize in physics with colleague Andre Geim for their work on graphene, said research on layers of the material held in a vacuum has shown that electrons behave very differently when travelling through graphene. "Electrons in graphene have huge mobility, they travel very fast. It's quite a big result in terms of the physics and it may have some implications in terms of potential applications," Professor Novoselov said. Professor Geim and Professor Novolosev discovered graphene by using Scotch tape to peel away layers of carbon from a piece of graphite (pencil lead). They were left with a two-dimensional film of carbon, one atom thick. The carbon atoms are linked as a single molecule arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Graphene possesses a number of unique properties, such as extremely high electron and thermal conductivities due to very high velocities of electrons and high quality of the crystals, in addition to mechanical strength.

one of my fav radio nights is late sunday night-monday morning. that's when the really good stuff is on. what does the public know? fortunately, bill barton's fine show, bright moments, on at the same time, is archived. wkcr, from 2 to 5am(edt) each sunday night presents jazz from the 1920s, much of it little known. it's a great to record and play back while on the treadmill. http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/program/monday-morning-mono/monday-morning-mono-playlist-07182011 below is the last monday morning playlist.

Dude.. where/how did you find that? i took just a little poetic license, but i'm close to the rink. http://denziljournalist.com/2011/07/21/dixie-dansercoer-arctic-explorer/ "Musician Bart Van Huyck will use music to describe the different features of the (Ant)Arctic environment, which he divides into below and above the ice. "Below the ice, the harmonious 'music' of animals and nature will be heard," explains Van Huyck. "Above the ice, the destructive 'noise' produced by man will prevail and make it very difficult to appreciate the symphony of natural sounds." Other artists signed up for the project are Didier Volkaert, Ludwig Desmet and Hermann Vanaerschot. Coincidentally, all the artists are Flemish, mainly because Dansercoer wanted partners who were within easy reach: "I didn't want a virtual relationship with the artists. I like to share ideas face-to-face. For example, I took three of them to north Sweden so they could experience the Arctic for themselves." Julie Brown, wife of Dixie Dansercoer, fellow explorer and author of a number of books on their expeditions, will provide the creative texts around the various themes which fuel (Ant)Arctic Matters. Dansercoer's current major challenge is to finalise funding for the expedition, a task that has been made more difficult due to the recent financial crisis. (When asked to comment on this subject, he sighs with exasperation when he considers the billions of euros put up by governments to rescue financial institutions compared to the much smaller amounts designated to save the planet.) But he remains optimistic that the scheduled departure date will be met, and is enthusiastic about the final goal. "I want to show the whole world the crucial importance of protecting our superb polar regions, and demonstrate some practical ways in which we can all make a contribution.""
