They used software to predict themovement of the crowds andscenarios of how outbreaks wouldspread and how to stop them.
53 million cubic feet of dirt and soilwere scrubbed to remove the oncecontaminated site where OlympicPark sits. Contaminants includedthings such as, oil, tar, arsenic, andeven lead.
The GlaxoSmithKline Lab in Harlow,Essex is set-up to run 24 hours toallow for testing of nearly half the
athletes. More than 6200 samples will be testedfor possible doping or other bannedperformance enhancing drugs.
Neighboring buildings of the games wereequipped with anti-aircraft missiles by theMinistry of Defense. The contractors workingon the buildings had to check in daily usinghand and iris scanners to check theiridentification and credentials.
The site used for the games will transform intothe largest wetland area in the UnitedKingdom after the games end. Over 300,000plants were transported into this formerlandfill in an effort for transformation of thespace.
To prepare for the daily inf lux of people going
in and out of the main train station a 150million dollar facelift was an order. It helpedimprove flow to accommodate for the 240,000visitors per hour.
Lets hope this all goes towards good usedown the road.
When it comes to the athletes its blood, sweat,tears, determination, to name just a few things.But what about the locations of the gamesthemselves?
I was curious and decided to do a littleinvestigating, and here are some of the mostinteresting facts I heard about transformingLondon in preparation of this year's summerOlympics.
The Olympic Committee prepared for theestimated 11 million visitors to the games byputting nearly 3 billion dollars into therenovation and preparation of London. Over 9million seating tickets to various events weresold. Prices ranged from thirty to threethousand pounds.
The Olympic stadiums roof was built usingsome 2,000 tons of recycled gas piping. At itspeak it will be able to accommodate 80,000spectators.

Well, I have finally been able to utilizemy skills as a water dog. Gone are thedays of boring backyard kiddie pools, allthanks to my recent discovery of theLake County Dog Park System.
The parks are doggie heavens. As long asyou are over four months old and up todate on your vaccinations, youre off theleash as soon as youre out of the
parking lot! There are areas we can roamfree and a lake to take a dip in from 6a.m. until 7 p.m. or sunset (whichevercomes later). The bravest of us dont
just dip, but cannonball and dog paddle toour hearts delight. We found no
shortage of tennis balls to retrieve, andour parents found mutt mitt dispensersfor those times we had to turn to themwith the look that says be a dear andtake care of that for me, would you?
Murphy, skeptical at first, finally got hispaws wet when he saw that everyone wasdoing it. Id call him a copy-cat but heresents all feline references. Mom anddad snapped some great photos. Theysaid they prefer the visual memories.Something about the stink of wetdogs..but even they thought the day wasworth the price of admission! Tell yourloved ones to pack plenty of towels, andmaybe that problem would be solved.
If you need me, check the lake!- Franklin

A badminton player and a tennis
player get into a car accident, and it's
a bad one. Both cars are heavily
damaged, but amazingly neither of
them are hurt. After they crawl out of
their cars, the badminton player spots
the other's tennis gear and says, "So
you're a tennis player, that's
interesting. I'm a badminton player ...
Gosh! Just look at our cars, there's
nothing left, but fortunately we are
unhurt. This must be a sign from God
that we should meet and be friendsand live together in peace for the rest
of our days."
The tennis player replied: "I agree
with you completely; this must be a
sign from God!"
The badminton player continued,
"And look at this - here's another
miracle. My car is complete
demolished but this bottle of
whisky didn't break. SurelyGod wants us to drink this and
celebrate our good fortune."
Then he hands the bottle to the tenni
player. The tennis layer nods his hea
in agreement, opens it and takes a fe
big gulps from the bottle, then hand
it back to the badminton player.
The badminton player takes the
bottle, immediately puts the cap bac
on, and hands it back to the tennis
player. The tennis player asks, "Areyou having any?"
The badminton player replies, "No.
think I will just wait for the police to
turn up and sort this out ..."

WhatsInside:
Dedicated To A Healthier Environment
Mike, one of the guys who works for me, wasrecently informed by a client that the dog days ofsummer was so named to coincide with theappearance of the Dog Star, Sirius, in theconstellation Canis Major. In the NorthernHemisphere, Sirius can be seen in July andAugust. Down in the Southern Hemisphere, it isbrightest in January and February. I thought thiswas a neat little tid-bit, and wanted to share itwith you. Use it to stump or impress friends,family, and co-workers.
As we wrap up the dog days of summer, I lookedback to realize I had the pleasure of working withall members of my immediate family these pastfew months. Sure, John and Jan are around forthe most part, but this year we threw Kathy intothe fire - I mean put her to work. By the time youread this, she will already be back in Iowa for her4th year of college. I trust that a summer ofworking with me will be motivation enough tostay in school, get good grades, and move on tobigger and better things! For some reason I guessall of the long summers and cold winters havent
steered John away from the business. And Jan?Shes got an iron-clad contract because of thepromise she made me September 19, 1981 thatshe would be in it for the long haul.
Summers passing also means we are starting toget back into full- on investigation and designmode. We are looking at a few different projectsright now for clients who are fed up with the largetemperature fluxuations and extreme negatives oftheir systems. They are the ones who arefrustrated by hearing I dont know why this ishappening, everything appears to be working
right from their contractors.
With proper and thorough investigation,measurement, information and initial air testingwe can really get to the bottom of things. This iswhat I take the most pride in. Nothing makes mesmile more than the relief a client shows in theirtone of voice or in their appreciative notes oncewe design and implement the ideal comfortsystem for their needs. Its the realization thatthey can actually be comfortable which is so cool.I hope YOU already know that. Stay cool, andwell talk soon.
