The scouts are suffering mightily due to the sporadic nature of recent
GSBs.  Not that a given GSB was somehow sporadic, but that they've been
sporadically occurring.  I've been working off-site on special scout
missions, primarily on the automated extraction of shredded coconut meat
from whole fruit with some side work on problems related to the
development of caramel-resistant non-stick dental implants (with DuPont
TEFLON (r)).  For the latter work I hope to be the recipient of DuPont's
annual Plunkett award for things that don't stick to things and make
funny noises when dropped into water or the slightly less prestigious,
but no less exciting, DuPont ``I am TEFLON you are glue, what ever you
say will neither scratch my coating nor stick to me'' contest.

In a manner uncharacteristic of my usual, to-the-point writing I have
strayed a bit.  Let me summarize the issues at hand:

1) There will be a GSB today, although I will not be there.
2) Since I may be scarce around the lab (at least this semester) it
   would be nice if some other good samaritan (as opposed to those evil
   samaritans one runs into now and again) could take over (if only for
   the semester) administration of this charitable and tax-deductible
   cause. 
3) The selection is slightly limited, but should be sufficient for
   today.
