Can you buy your own submarine?

Answers to your questions about the news.

Colombian soldiers guard a homemade submersible in a rural area of Timbiqui, department of Cauca, Colombia. Click image to expand.Officials in Colombia have discovered two drug-smuggling submarines since Friday. One of the vessels was big enough to carry four tons of cocaine and a five-person crew, and could remain underwater for up to 10 days. Most submarines belong to military forces or deep-sea research teams. Can you buy your own personal sub?

Yes. Several businesses in the United States and Europe cater to the recreational submariner. Around $600,000 will get you an entry-level, winged submersible without a pressurized cabin. These vessels can be launched from a ramp or beach and are highly maneuverable. They can barrel-roll and even leap out of the water. But they're not great for exploring. They don't go very deep, they have to keep moving to stay submerged, and the view of the sea floor is limited. If you're willing to spend $2 million, you can buy a two-person submersible with a see-through acrylic dome. (They look very much like George Jetson's flying car, although they don't fold into a briefcase. In fact, they have to be towed out to sea by a yacht.) These models can dive to 1,000 feet. Those who want to dive in high style can purchase a ritzy, 5,000-square-foot submarine with a living and dining area for $80 million. James Cameron, Paul Allen, and Russian oil tycoon Roman Abramovich are all reportedly recreational submariners.

Manufacturers of recreational subs put new owners through a three-week training course. (Some buyers have their yacht captain take the training course in their stead.) In most models, the tricky part is taking just enough water into the ballast tanks to achieve neutral buoyancy, so that the boat won't rise or fall in the water until the operator initiates the thrusters. Once the ship is submerged, driving is pretty intuitive. A joystick moves the ship left, right, forward, and backward. Twist the stick to rotate the sub. A switch makes the vessel rise or fall.

If you're in the market for a personal submersible, you'll have to decide how deep you'd like to go. Achieving greater depth requires stronger materials and construction, which add substantially to the price tag. For example, a Triton sub rated to 3,300 feet costs $1 million more than the 1,000-foot-rated model, a 50-percent price hike. If you have the money, though, it's probably worth it. There's very little light at the more significant depths, which means virtually no sea vegetation and greatly increased visibility using the vessel's headlights. The sea creatures at that depth are completely different, as they have adapted to a zero-light environment. Your extra million would even buy you the chance, albeit a slim one, of spotting a giant squid. There's the added bonus that you could be a genuine explorer?there are plenty of ocean areas that no human has ever explored at that depth.

If you don't have a couple of million dollars lying around, don't give up hope. A small community of hobbyists around the world have built recreational submersibles in their backyards and garages. Some of the designs are quite sophisticated, and private builders have managed to dive to nearly 1,000 feet. Skilled individual builders can put a submersible together in three to five years, and the parts for a two-man model cost about $50,000. Costs vary widely, however, because some enthusiasts are pretty good at adapting discarded parts from other products. There is some danger in this business, though. Hobby submariners have died when their pride and joy cracked at depth. (There has never been a recorded death in a commercially-made private or tourist submarine.)

If you build your own sub, you'll need to get Coast Guard approval before diving at sea. You don't need preapproval to explore a lake, but it's a good idea to contact the FBI beforehand anyway. Recreational submarining is still extremely rare, and local people have been known to call the police when they see a mysterious vessel surface near their vacation home.

Ashton Kutcher Gets Heat From CBS, Dodges Affair Rumors

Kutcher and Demi Moore's marriage is reportedly on the rocks.
By Jocelyn Vena


Ashton Kutcher on "Two and a Half Men"
Photo: CBS

Ashton Kutcher is already stirring up trouble at his new network. As the new star of "Two and a Half Men," Kutcher reportedly angered CBS when he allegedly promoted Foursquare, Flipboard, Hipmunk, GroupMe and Chegg on Monday's episode, using stickers with those companies' names on his character Walden Schmidt's laptop

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kutcher holds investment stakes in each of those properties and used his time on the show to promote the sites for free. The network reportedly wanted compensation for the airtime, though they are now downplaying the report.

"This was not part of any advertising transaction with CBS," a network rep tells E! News. "Our policy is to disclose such financial interests in a credit at the end of the broadcast."

The news comes as Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore, are rumored to be having marital problems. Fox News reported that Kutcher and Moore have been spending time apart and that on Wednesday, the same day the news of the split broke, security was called to the couple's home. Kutcher allegedly had an affair with 23-year-old Sara Leal, who is reportedly trying to sell her story about the relationship.

While the pair has not directly commented on the rumors of a split, they have danced around them on Twitter. Late Wednesday night, perhaps as a reaction to all the gossip surrounding his personal life, Kutcher tweeted a link to the Public Enemy track "Don't Believe the Hype."

Meanwhile, Moore, still using the handle Mrs. Kutcher, had everyone speculating that she was ominously commenting on a split days ago in a flurry of tweets. One reads, "I see through you ...," and includes a photo of her laying in bed with her eyes closed.

Days before that, Moore tweeted, "When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. — Epictetus."

Remicade Approved for Ulcerative Colitis in Children (HealthDay)

MONDAY, Sept. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Remicade (infliximab) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat moderate-to-severe active episodes of ulcerative colitis in children aged six and older who haven't responded to other therapies.

UC, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, attacks the lining of the large intestine and rectum. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, loss of weight and fever. Some 40 percent of the 50,000 to 100,000 children in the United States with inflammatory bowel disease have UC, the FDA said in a news release.

Remicade is a tumor necrosis factor blocker, which suppresses a bodily substance that causes inflammation and plays a role in so-called autoimmune diseases, in which the overactive immune system attacks the body itself.

Remicade has been FDA approved to treat UC in adults and to fight other autoimmune diseases among adults and children, including Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, the FDA said.

The drug carries a boxed label warning for increased risk of cancer and serious infections including tuberculosis, the agency said. As such, children should have all recommended vaccines before starting Remicade, the FDA said.

Other side effects of Remicade may include worsening of some UC symptoms and headache, the agency said.

Remicade is produced by Janssen Biotech, based in Malvern, Penn.

Everything you know about pterosaurs is wrong

With 23-foot wingspans and hefty bodies, the ancient airborne reptiles of the Jurassic Period might seem the unlikeliest of flying machines. In fact, as commonly depicted, these animals, called pterosaurs, would have been unable to sustain flight, according to new research.

For the first time since pterosaurs were discovered more than 100 years ago, the basic physics of how they flew are becoming understood. The new research suggests that estimates of pterosaur wing size and shape have been wrong, and that, mechanically, the wings would have had to be crescent-shaped and angled much farther forward on the body than has been thought. [25 Amazing Ancient Beasts]

  1. More science news from MSNBC Tech & Science

    1. Can magnetic invisibility cloak hide weapons?

      A team of Spanish researchers say they can build a magnetic cloaking device that would help pacemaker patients pass through MRI machines without harm ? but it could also be used by criminals to smuggle bombs or guns through metal detectors.

    4. Dead Sea not so dead, divers discover

"Something as big a pterosaur is really pushing the limits of what's possible. That's what's interesting from an engineering point of view," study researcher Colin Palmer said to LiveScience. Palmer figured out how these physical boundaries contribute to the size and shape of the pterosaur wings. "It does allow us to have a better idea of how things work and throw away a number of things," he said.

Winged lizards
Pterosaurs (meaning "winged lizards") were capable of powered flight even though some were the size of giraffes. They are thought to have ruled the skies for more than 200 million years, until they died out with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Their wingspans reached 23 feet (7 meters) ? about twice as long as any living bird ? and some fossils suggest even larger species of pterosaurs may have lived.

Previous drawings of the animals' possible wing size and shape were based on anatomical limits: For instance, scientists knew from fossils that the pterosaur's wing membrane connected from the ankle to the arm bones and elongated ring finger that form the leading edge of the wing. [Avian Ancestors: Dinosaurs That Learned to Fly]

Cosmic Log: Flying monsters reborn in 3-D

By analyzing the pterosaur's center of mass (where gravity is pulling down the hardest) and the center of pressure (where lift is pushing up the hardest) in different conformations, Palmer added physics-based boundaries to the possible size and shape of the wings. He found that as depicted in most illustrations, pterosaurs wouldn't have been able to fly. To successfully fly, these two forces must be equal and opposite.

To equalize the two forces acting on the flying pterosaur, the wings would need to be crescent-shaped and angled much farther forward on the body. Palmer also realized that to keep the membrane taut (so it didn't flap back and forth, producing drag) the wings had to have been narrower, to keep the membrane from extending too far back.

"To stop it from flapping in flight, you have to have tension in there. You can only do that by bending the wing bones, like a bow and arrow," Palmer said.

Flying giraffes
The wing size and shape that Palmer discovered would have given the airborne giants a great amount of stability in the air, without need to constantly correct their course.

The animals would have spent most of their time soaring over the oceans. This passive stability provided by their wings would have enabled them to exert little effort to correct their flight after a wind gust, for instance. They probably didn't have to flap their wings much, though previous research has indicated they did flap to make their landing.

"When it hits a gust, the wing flexes, the wing bends, in a way to stabilize it," Palmer told LiveScience. "A 7-meter, very flexible wing could actually have flown successfully."

The study was published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

Column: Last thing Vick needs is more attention (AP)

No one in the NFL gets more attention than Michael Vick. Apparently, it's still not enough.

Asked during a postgame news conference whether referees were affording him the same protection other quarterbacks get, Vick answered, "There's no reason for me to go into a big dissertation about why I'm not getting the calls," and proceeded to do just that. To be fair, Vick was still nursing a right hand badly bruised on a roughing-the-passer penalty that went unpunished in a loss to the Giants. Then he was goaded by a half-dozen questions from reporters going over the same ground. Yet he couldn't let even one of those opportunities go to waste.

Vick knew exactly who the villains were, and after opening with a disclaimer ? "Not to blame the refs or say that it was their fault" ? he blamed the refs for making life in the Eagles' pocket more dangerous than it had to be.

"All of the time. Every time I throw the ball in all my highlights and just watching film in general, every time I throw the ball I'm on the ground, getting hit in the head and I don't know why. I don't get the 15-yard flags like everybody else does but, hey," Vick paused to remind everyone, "I'm not going to complain about it. I'm just making everybody aware and hopefully somebody will take notice."

Consider it duly noted, Mike. But instead of calling out the league office and its officiating crews, you might want to talk to coach Andy Reid and your offensive line.

Quarterbacking is a hazardous job, but the numbers show that since he became the starter early in the 2010 season, Vick and the Eagles have been getting their fair share of roughing-the-passer calls. Only six teams in the league have been awarded more than the five called against Philly's opponents during that span, and none is an NFC rival. A more telling stat shows Vick has been pressured or hit in the pocket more than any QB in the league, nearly a third of the time, and along with Minnesota's creaky Donovan McNabb and Chicago's Jay Cutler, he's in danger of becoming a tackling dummy.

Because of the way he plays, Vick gets hit outside the pocket more than just about any other quarterback, too. Durability was never going to be his strong suit, not as long as he remains as much of a threat to run as he is to throw. The Eagles should have figured that out when they signed Vick three weeks into the 2009 season, or after they made him No.1 a year later, but certainly by the time they decided to hand him a $100-million deal ($40 million guaranteed) during the offseason and shipped backup Kevin Kolb to Arizona. Vick's return to the top of the game was such a feel-good story that Reid and the rest of Philly forgot to take a good look at what he'd actually accomplished in that brief audition for the starring role.

The Eagles went 4-5 over that stretch and didn't get much better across the `O' line; they're a fast-fading 1-2 now. Small wonder everybody in the organization is looking for someone else to blame.

"His best interest is always in my mind, when he's on the football field in particular," Reid said, ducking the question of whether the Eagles would complain to the league. "I know he's a marked man. I think it's important that we all keep a close eye on him."

That hasn't been a problem this season. Between last week's concussion and Sunday's smashed hand ? not Vick's throwing hand ? he has spent plenty of time just up the Eagles' sideline from his coach. That shouldn't be much of a surprise. In eight previous seasons, Vick has managed to start all 16 games only once, and depending on how bad this latest injury is, he could miss another handful. Reid said it was too early to know if Vick would recover enough use of the hand to play against the 49ers next week. Ditto for whether Mike Kafka or Vince Young would get the start if Vick can't go.

"He always wants to play. That's how he is," Reid said, referring to Vick. "He's a competitive guy."

Competitive enough, anyway, that Vick wants the same protection given Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and other elite QBs ? even though none puts himself in harm's way as often or as willingly as he does. Vick should know by now, and the Eagles should, too, that he can't have it both ways.

Advertising Your Residential House Cleaning Business | cleaning ...

Are you just starting out your own residential house cleaning business? Do you have a pile of rags, cleaning solutions, dusters, a vacuum cleaner, and broom and are ready to take over the neighborhood?

With any new business, you will need to work hard at the beginning to land those first customers. Being successful at residential house cleaning requires that your customers trust you, feel comfortable with you in their home, and value your work.

Here are some ideas to get started in advertising your house cleaning services:

Advertising Your Residential House Cleaning Business

Canvas the neighborhood with fliers

An enticing flyer will be easy to create on your home computer. Cleaning images can be found freely using the Clipart that comes with most word processing programs. Include all the pertinent information you need, including name, phone number, list of services, and if you are just starting out you may consider including a discount or coupon for the first cleaning. Consider using brightly colored paper to print out your fliers. To save space, you may choose to print out two to four fliers per sheet of paper.

Take an ad out in the local paper

If you live in a small town, then there is a good chance that you have a local paper or newsletter that circulates around your neighborhood. Check to see if it may be possible for you to take out a small ad in the local paper, you may be surprised about how economical it is to advertise. If you are advertising as a new business, then you may consider offering a discount or coupon to those who mention the ad so that you will know which advertising methods are successful. And since you will have your own business, the advertising fees can be written off come tax time, check with your accountant for specifics.

Advertise on the web

The internet is another great place to start advertising your residential house cleaning business. Craigslist.org is a largely known (free) classified website where you can advertise your business. Each day new ads are placed, so you may consider saving your advertisement text and resubmitting your ads every few days to capture the attention of new potential customers. If you are computer savvy, then you might also consider setting up your own website to advertise your house cleaning services. Having your own website will also be a great advertising tool because you will be able to add it to fliers and business cards or give your website address to others when you do not have a business card on hand.

Make business cards and pass them out

Business cards are really inexpensive to have printed. If you are on a very tight budget, then consider going to the office supply store and picking up a business card making kit that will allow you to print your own cards from home. Keep a stack of business cards with you at all times and hand them out to family and friends and even strangers.

Referral discount for new customers

Once you start getting those first customers, give them an incentive to refer you to their friends and family. Word of mouth is the best kind of advertising there is. If they like your work, then let them know that you will offer them a certain discount if they refer new customers to you. You may only need to offer a discount until you are able to develop enough customers to keep you busy.

Retail space rents expected to fall | Vietnam Business News

Despite the stable development of the retail industry, owners of buildings offering retail space in downtown HCMC are expected to cut their rents to maintain old clients as well as attract new ones, said a market researcher.

An increasing inflation rate and a slowdown in retail business and service sectors are the two main reasons driving retail premises rentals down, according to CB Richard Ellis Vietnam Co., Ltd (CBRE).

Retail space contracts which were signed a year or two ago had good rental prices because retailers then were optimistic about future prospects while the inflation rate wasn?t as high as now, said Marc Townsend, director of CBRE.

However, in the first half of 2011, the total retail sales of goods and services after inflation was deducted rose by only 5.7% over the same period last year, a modest growth rate compared to last year?s growth rate of 16.4%.

?Lower purchasing power and high rents of premises both burden retailers?, Townsend reckoned.

Thus, most large retail centers in downtown areas must offer favorable rents, he said.

The rent downtrend is becoming clearer given strong supply in the time ahead.

Eden A, for instance, will be put into operation in 2012?s second quarter which can provide 30,000 square meters of floor space. At present, Bitexco Financial Tower is offering 8,000 square meters for lease with prices ranging between US$78-124 per square meter.

Outside the downtown area, retail supply will also be abundant when the Crescent Mall in Phu My Hung Urban Area, with a total area of 45,000 square meters, comes into operation by the year-end.

HCMC now has 352,800 square meters of retail space. The average rent is US$125 per square meter in central business districts (CBD) and US$33 per square meter in non-CBD areas.
