First of all.....I have a 2006 Harley Fatboy. So with that in mind, I just had to order the "Fatty Freeway Bars"!! A breeze to install and WOW do they look nice on the bike! Awesome addition to the look of the machine and a piece of mind to boot just in case the bike were ever to tip over the damage to the engine and surrounding chrome should be minimal. Thanks for the great deal and quality product!
kentor Posted :
Piece of cake to install. Fattys look great on stout bikes like a HD Heritage.

Fit and look great. Easy to mount, but a second person would make it easier. The 1 1/2 bar looks at home on my 1700 Vulcan Classic.

slight discoloration on one of the bars, not a big problem, just a small spot. instructions were ok. bnars look good on my vulcan 1700 LT classic

Was very easy to install, but get a friend to help or cover your front fender with a thick towel. Bolts right up with no issues. Chrome looks great and the 1.5 inch size looks great on the Roadliner.
bkowal Posted :
Bars took about 1/2 hour to install. Recommend having someone assist. Looks good on the bike

Compliments the bike. Easy to install.
joe223 Posted :
The Bar went on just as the instruction showed. Took around 15-20 minutes to install.I love the looks of the Fatty Bars, very nice.
RCollin865 Posted :
Great Bar...Looks great on the bike... Easy installation
FrankV01 Posted :
Looks great once mounted. Does not take a ton of effort to mount them, however considering they are specific to the motorcycle, I'd expect them to be closer in profile to the motorcycle.
When you mount them, you need to "squeeze" them to the bike as you are driving the two lower bolts to the floorboard mount. Not a big deal and it's only like a 1/4 of an inch or something but it's still quite odd, considering the bars are VTX specific. The instructions also don't mention this and if they did, it'd go a long way in understanding what is going on.

Posner Posted :
The Cobra 1-1/2" freeway bars are a must for any cruiser with a 1600cc or bigger bike. These bars flow with the larger metric cruiser bikes...the Cobras look better than anything stock. The larger diameter of this product compliments and enhances the stature of the larger cruiser bikes. A must-have...

Congressman Rodney Davis says fellow lawmakers shouldn't focus on government shutdown
By Jeff Bossert
Congressman Rodney Davis isn't taking the same view of some colleagues who are threatening a government shutdown on a spending plan that includes the Affordable Care Act. The Taylorville Republican says while he still wants to de-fund the health care measure, he says conservative senators like Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas should turn their attention elsewhere:
"People want to focus on a pending government shutdown that's not going to happen instead of focusing on what matters most. And I will vote to def-und Obamacare every single time, because I think it's bad policy. But I'll also vote to fix the problems that are going to occur because of its implementation."
Former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has also reportedly cautioned such comments, saying lawmakers should exercise 'great care' when talking about shutting down government.
Davis, whose wife is a cancer survivor, says he has many unanswered questions as he prepares to enroll his family in a health care exchange that's part of the Affordable Care Act.
The Congressman was in Champaign Wednesday.

I think we can put pressure on him. The other thing is that he has to be rusty after being out so long. Although we have made some below average QBs look like they are All Pro.

This style of hair is so in right now, I love the natural wavy, beachy look it's hot and guys love it too!
3 years
The blonde style is gorgeous - and I' like to bet that most men think so too! I can therefore only imagine jealousy is at play for those who disagree! Grunge is more than a look, it's an ethos; a classic in its own right. Long may it live! It's better than the high-maintenance, high-heel-tottering vacant footballer's wife look! However I grant that this hairstyle would not be a great look for older women, unless they are absolutely gorgeous, although it could be modified to suit.
3 years
What happened to all the good hairdressers, is right! I get my hair cut by one mediocre lady, who at least knows what I'm talking about, still, if I walk her thru each snip. I went elsewhere a couple of times, and asked them to basically cut "bangs" that where layered in front, (so they look swept back and layered when I wear it up) and then a medium-longish blunt cut in the back. Two people told me I wanted "two different haircuts" and one guy told me he knew exactly what I meant, combed all my bang area from about the middle of my head, forward, and CUT IT OFF AT BANG LENGTH. I was almost out of my mind, before someone else stepped in, and salvaged my hair. It's not that hard, I see people with parted, layered "bangs" and a ponytail, all the time. but if you ask for more than long hair that's raggedly and unevenly layered these days, FORGET IT!
3 years
I'm sorry but the blond's hair is a mess. Can we move on from "grunge" or the unkempt look? Is there no going back to some kind of classy look or is the "low down" look so appealing?
3 years
The older women of today all look alike with short curley hair. They need to update their hairdo and be alittle daring. If you look around notice how everyone looks the same.
3 years
Please, get some hair stylists who like women.. I am sick of all the women ,young and old and even older, wearing their hair straight,and to make it even worse a center part.. Only the very beautiful can get away with this and look pretty. So make us pretty again... And you girls who wear this, take a good look in the mirror.. Nuf said..Sarg...

I agree with the person who said that hairstyles of today make women look like old bag ladies. They look unkept and frumpy. Long hair and pony tails is not for everyone! What happened to all the good hairdressers in this country? Go to any chain now-a-days and I bet they don't even know how to cut a decent Wedge, a Stack, a Swing, or a Bob. Some hairstyles should never ever go out of style just like that little proverbial black dress we count on for elegance.
3 years
Talking about the IDOL Hairdo's -- They are more like HairDON'Ts !!! A few years ago IDOL hairstylist "Dean" would give the girls much needed "hair" makeovers, most of them from outdated, unflattering, ugly frizzy looks, to STRAIGHT, Chic & Sleek Bobs, or Longer Hairstyles, making them look great! But now the girls look like bag ladies! Help!

Born on December 31, 1943, in Scarborough, England, Khrishna Bhanji switched his name to Ben Kingsley and developed a stage and TV career. He shot to prominence in the film Gandhi, for which he won an Oscar. Kingsley has since acted in a variety of projects like Bugsy, Dave and Twelfth Night that showcase his wide range. He has earned numerous other awards and was knighted in 2002.
Early Life
Actor Krishna Bhanji, better known as Ben Kingsley, was born on December 31, 1943 in Snaiton, North Yorkshire, England. Raised in Salford, England, as the son of a Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji, a Kenyan-born physician of Indian extraction and Anna Lyna Mary Bhanji, an English-born fashion model, Kingsley began acting as a teenager. He took the name Ben as a tribute to his father, who had been called Ben in college.
Kingsley joined the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company in 1967 and soon began performing in lead roles, including Demetrius in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a role which he reprised for a tour of U.S. cities in 1971, and the title role in Hamlet in 1975. Kingsley first appeared on the big screen in the Alistair MacLean thriller Fear is the Key (1972), and made his television debut that same year in the BBC series The Love School.
Big Break
From 1975 to 1977, Kingsley worked with the National Theatre; he subsequently returned to the RSC, where he originated the role of Squeers in Nicholas Nickleby. When the production traveled to Broadway, Kingsley was unable to reprise the role due to film commitments. His film career soared to unforeseen heights in 1981 with his first starring role, in the title role in Richard Attenborough's acclaimed biopic Gandhi. Appearing in only his second film, Kingsley won numerous accolades for his performance, including an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Career Highlights
Kingsley appeared in seven more European films, notably a 1983 adaptation of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, co-starring Jeremy Irons, and James Ivory's Maurice (1987), and made his Broadway debut in the one-man show Edmund Kean (1984), before making his U.S. film debut in Without a Clue (1988), playing the capable Dr. Watson to Michael Caine's bumbling Sherlock Holmes. The film was an unusually comic choice for Kingsley, and it met with mixed reviews. In 1989, he again ventured into historical biopic territory, earning critical praise for his performance in the title role of the HBO feature Murderers Among Us: The Simon Wiesenthal Story, as the famed Holocaust survivor who steadfastly sought vengeance against the Nazis.
Kingsley earned his second Academy Award nomination for his sharp-edged supporting turn as Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky in the Warren Beatty vehicle Bugsy (1991). After a villainous performance in the thriller Sneakers (1992), costarring Robert Redford, he essayed a trio of more benevolent roles, including a patient coach to a chess prodigy in Searching for Bobby Fischer, a U.S. vice president in the comedy Dave, costarring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver, and Itshak Stern, the trusted friend of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) in Steven Spielberg's acclaimed Holocaust epic Schindler's List (all 1993). This last performance garnered Kingsley his best reviews since Gandhi, and once again proved the actor's gift for portraying complicated characters of uncommon dignity and historical importance.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

Numerous Nuptials
Life imitates art in Hollywood, where passionate romances turn into short-lived marriages and quickie divorces. Numerous nuptials are one of the hallmarks of the celebrity lifestyle.

Here's a look at the famous individuals who tied the knot—and then tied it again, and again, and again.

Abbott changed his SP; this new one is also choreographed by Robin Cousins, I heard.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Quad LUTZ in the SP? Wow that's really ambitious. When I heard he was landing lots of quads, I had assumed 4t or 4s. That's a high risk high reward move putting it in the SP, especially given his past history with the 3a (though that seemed pretty improved last season). I'm so excited for the season to start!
This is a fab choice. Dynamic, modern, suave, and designer cool. A great faster tempo program complement to the Muse FS which is haunting, eloquent and poetic. Cousins would do a fab job with this. This is becoming one of the most exciting Men's program I am most looking forward to this season.
I can't believe we didn't get to even see the Irving Berlin short I'm sure it was an absolute masterpiece.
I'm not totally sold on the Lillies of the Valley choice yet. It could be fantastic, but I get a little worried when Jeremy tries to be "edgy" -- in other words, that really awkward "spy" program from last year. Believe me, he's my favorite male skater, but it felt like a caricature.
On the other hand, I don't think he's ever made this sort of decision before, so maybe he is gearing up for this year more than he has before. Perhaps he thought the Irving Berlin program was too similar too his 2011-2012 SP.
Lillies of the Valley is pretty innoculous and emotionally neutral music. It's a pretty safe bet and poses no risk of misinterpretation. I don't see how it can be remotely "edgy." It's a bit bland without much variation in beat and in melody. For a free skate it might be an issue (and Ingo Steur wisely blended it into other pieces from Pina soundtrack), but for a short program it's fine.
I don't consider the "Spy" program edgy. It was just ill conceived.
^^ What do you mean? Ill-conceived choreographically or musically or both. I thought Jere's Spy sp was great fun and very well executed! I can watch Jeremy A and Jason B forever skate to ANYTHING!
Thanks for the info, Sylvia. This is the first time I became aware that the S/S program "Pina" is not the name of the actual music they used from the Pina film (also used by Menshov last season -- he did a great job with it too ).
Here's a fun Youtube clip with the Jun Miyake music accompanying various clips of dancers dancing
I can't wait to see what Jeremy does with this music. Jereamazin' is a true dancer, and so is Mr. Robin Cousins.
Hopefully, we still get to see the original sp Jere and Robin worked on at some point, maybe as an exhibition? I wonder what was the thought process behind Jeremy deciding to change his sp selection?
Last edited by aftershocks; 08-22-2013 at 10:13 PM.
Jeremy's Spy program is the only program from him I've ever liked.
^^ Well, it's not the only program of his I've ever liked -- I'm not choosy as I said when it comes to watching Jeremy paint magical images/ memories on ice. But yeah, his Spy program is a lot of fun. Ain't it great that skaters don't ever have to listen to fans' nitty picky advice.
It's hard enough as it is just deciding what music to use and performing choreography under the constraints of CoP, not to mention training and competing. All skaters deserve a Medal of Honor for what they endure for their love of skating.
Through abstract find new unique forms can a testament to a great artists/performer. I find Abbott to be among the rare skater that got it.
There may be 1000 black suits made of the same material built to the same size, but what truly makes a designer suit? It is in the detail, the concept and the decision making/ In lesser hands I certainly think it would have been the same old program, e.g Evan Lysacek redo another war horse performance to another famous classical masterworks with its own built in audience and expectations.
In any case I have found Abbott to be a exciting and always interesting skater, who likes to experiment to try something new each season. I am also a huge fan of what Robin Cousins choreographed for Cheltzie Lee's 'Chez Lez Ye Ye' by Boogalox program (one of my fav back in 2010-11), so I am really looking forward to their collaboration on this one. I would hardly find this a safe choice, but I guess I will reserve my judgement until the SP.
My reading of Abott's spy program wasn't that it was designed to be edgy, but more like that a tongue in cheek lampooning of 80s spy cliches/genre without doing another James Bond. It was designed to be humorous, fun and entertaining more than anything else.
In my eyes, any program in which Abbott does more with his arms and upper body than with his legs and feet/skates/edges is a program ill conceived. Unfortunately he's had a string of short programs lately that have taken this approach; "Spy" is the worst. Hopefully this year's short program breaks the trend and shows off his skating skills. In general I find his "fun" programs awkward.
I agree that there's more upper body in his last two three years of short programs, Spy being the "worst". It's not bad, but it's not like his 2009 or 2010 program.
That's what I thought as well. Totally tongue in cheek. And I appreciate very much that he's been willing to try out different styles and take some risks. The flamenco SP didn't work for me well in the beginning, for example, but I thought he had really grown into it by the end of the season. So many skaters are willing to do pretty much the same style all the time.
You mean like changing a program in the summer right before the season starts? He did the same thing in the 09/10 Olympic season. He had originally planned a free skate to "Jupiter" which he debuted just once at a summer competition and scrapped it weeks later for his Saint-Saens Organ Symphony free skate.
U.S. figure skaters mostly mum about controversial Russian anti-gay "propaganda" law

Peelu Oral Rinse Peppermint -- 16 fl oz
I like this, my husband doesn't
I liked this until my husband complaned about how strong it smelled .
March 15, 2012
Strange taste, but I put about 4 oz in my water flosser with warm water and it is a good cleanser
January 4, 2012
Will not buy again
I am not at all impressed with this rinse. It has a horrible taste that takes a full week to get accustomed to. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, it has SLS, so it's not as natural as I would like.
September 21, 2009
Pretty Good
Has a nice minty taste but the herbal part is pretty strong.
However it does not have and aftertaste and it does give a fresh feeling to the mouth.

"San An Business trip"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 21, 2013
I would definitely recommend this hotel whether business or pleasure, I would myself select over any other hotel. Exceptional rooms, spacious & clean. Prompt & curteous staff. Excellent facilities; both gym & pool. Furthermore, free wifi included as well as complimentary breakfast. The only fault I can pick is that its not smack bang in the CBD. It's a short walk (about 5-10 minutes to the east (behind) the Alamo), neighbourhood is fine but some may feel unnerved if/when walking back to hotel. For me, this hotel was perfect.
"Spotless room and comfortable bed"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 11, 2013
Stay was great and used the small fitness room twice. Bed was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was average but good for filling the gap - apples available every morning too. Overall, a nice stay and the location is the best in San Antonio.

we were there to see our son graduate at lackland airforce base, from the minute we arrived to the moment we left, the staff were extremely helpful welcoming kind and considerate, the only negative i would say is the neighbourhood, we had no car so had to walk to get any supplies, we were constantly stopped by people asking for money. However the fact that we didnt have a car didnt spoil our enjoyment of the area and the shuttle took us everywhere we needed to go. I would deffinately return, though i dont think it is likely:(

A True Northern Christmas
Everyone knows Santa Claus comes from Finland, but there's more to a traditional Finnish Christmas than Saint Nick and the presents he brings. During the festive season, Finns like to take things slow and enjoy the company of loved ones.
The natural atmosphere is a key element for a true Finnish Christmas. White landscapes enshrouded in darkness, only lit by the stars in the sky and ice lanterns on driveways set the mood for a soothingly cosy festive season.
As for most, Christmas preparations in Finland start by deciding where to spend it. The family home is often preferred, but occasionally some jazzing up is in order and a villa or a cottage might be rented in the countryside.
Food Aplenty
Obviously, food plays a central part in Christmas celebrations in Finland, too. Pork roast is the main dish in most households and a variety of fish, casseroles and salads are served with it. The most authentic Christmas Eve breakfast is rice pudding.
Ginger biscuits and chocolates are the standard sweet snacks on Christmas. After a couple of Christmas ales, carols are sung with gusto.
Three Days of Feast
In Finland, Christmas Eve is the main event of the holidays, and the night Santa comes. It is spent with the family, decorating the tree, drinking "glögi" (mulled wine) and doing the quintessential Finnish thing, bathing in a Christmas sauna. A visit to Christmas Mass at midnight is customary for many.
While quiet and relaxing quality time with close relatives is preferred on Christmas Eve, visiting friends and eating leftovers is the thing to do on Christmas Day. Partying steps into the picture on Boxing Day, and many like to head out to bars and clubs in high Christmas spirits.
WinterSilence, Please
In the rush and crush of modern life, the rarities are what we value most, such as space, quiet and time. The space to breathe, a time to dream…

Horses are like kids; if you're around them long enough, you're going to have an emergency. You must learn to recognize serious problems and respond to them promptly; taking appropriate action will ensure the best outcome. From lacerations, colic, foaling difficulties and many more, preparation is vital when confronted with a medical emergency. Being mentally prepared and having the proper supplies on hand will help ensure panic does not take control when you're faced with a medical emergency.
• cotton rolls • cling wrap • gauze pads • scissors • thermometer • stethoscope • surgical gloves • surgical scrub and disinfectant solution • alcohol • wound flush: either saline or the commercially available wound flushing agents • electrolytes • cold packs • blood clotting agent • topical wound dressing • clippers
Though accidents happen, taking the time to evaluate the environment and removing potential hazards is a crucial part in being prepared. Planning for an emergency and removing potential hazards in the environment will help you stay prepared if and when one should arise. By acting quickly and promptly serious consequences can be avoided. Contact your veterinarian as soon as you have assessed the emergency even if you are not sure his assistance will be required. It is better to inform him or her and not need them than to not allow them the time to prepare in order to serve you and your horse to the best of their ability. Dr. Preston Hickman

In a stunt for 92.3's Rollin' Radio program, Nick Cannon pretended to attach approximately 50 balloons to co-host Sarah Lee's Pomeranian, Charlie Roo, on Thursday. Shortly after the incident, Cannon claimed that Charlie Roo had flown away and was missing.
Thankfully, Cannon's stunt was a hoax. Although Rollin' Radio's website said the prank went "a little too far" and pleaded to fans to "help find" Charlie Roo, Cannon released a video explaining that Lee's puppy was perfectly fine.
PHOTOS: Mariah and Nick's romance
"I won a bet with Sarah Lee, and I'm about to play the meanest joke on her ever," Cannon, 31, explained in a clip shot prior to the incident. "This whole time I've been acting like I don't like dogs, but I really love dogs. I'm a dog person… But I'm pretending that I want to float Charlie Roo with balloons!"
"I'm not really gonna float a dog," Mariah Carey's hubby clarified. "I'm gonna float a stuffed animal that looks just like Charlie Roo. If you happen to find the fake Charlie Roo, attached to it, there'll be some Katy Perry tickets."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's most pampered pooches
Cannon then tied a small stuffed animal in a pink coat to approximately 50 balloons and videotaped the incident. He then went along with the joke on Twitter, telling fans: "I think I might be getting fired. Radio gone seriously wrong… People are acting like I'm [Michael] Vick. I apologize. Now get over it."
Fortunately the real Charlie Roo was put in "a nice, safe place," while the look-alike stuffed animal was flown away. Even before Cannon released a video confirming the incident was a joke and no dogs were endangered, PETA suspected the "America's Got Talent" host was kidding around.
PHOTOS: Moroccan, Monroe and other celeb babies with unique names
"If bad taste were a crime, we'd be going to jail with Nick," the animal rights organization said in a statement. "But joking about killing a dog, a kid, an old person -- anyone -- isn't cool when there's always the danger that some numbskull will do it for real."
"Had it been true, Nick would have PETA to worry about," the statement continued. "And that's far worse than going to Rikers Island [prison]."
Cannon's rep told Us he will address the situation on 92.3's Rollin' on Friday.

Scientific literacy
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2011) |
Scientific literacy encompasses written, numerical, and digital literacy as they pertain to understanding science, its methodology, observations, and theories.
According to the United States National Center for Education Statistics, "scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity".[1] A scientifically literate person is defined as one who has the capacity to:
- understand experiment and reasoning as well as basic scientific facts and their meaning
- ask, find, or determine answers to questions derived from curiosity about everyday experiences
- describe, explain, and predict natural phenomena
- read with understanding articles about science in the popular press and to engage in social conversation about the validity of the conclusions
- identify scientific issues underlying national and local decisions and express positions that are scientifically and technologically informed
- evaluate the quality of scientific information on the basis of its source and the methods used to generate it
- pose and evaluate arguments based on evidence and to apply conclusions from such arguments appropriately[2]
Reforms in science education in the United States have often been driven by strategic challenges such as the launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957 and the Japanese economic boom in the 1980s.[3] By contrast, scientific literacy is now taken to mean that everyone should have a working knowledge of science and its role in society. Science literacy is seen as a right of every person and a requirement for responsible members of society, one that helps average people to make better decisions and enrich their lives. The shift occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the publication of "Science for All Americans"[4] and "Benchmarks for Science Literacy".[5]
Initial definitions of science literacy included elaborations of the actual content that people should understand, and this content often followed somewhat traditional lines (biology, chemistry, physics). Earth science was somewhat narrowly defined as expanded geological processes. In the decade after those initial documents, ocean scientists and educators revised the notion of science literacy to include more contemporary, systems-oriented views of the natural world, leading to scientific literacy programs for the ocean, climate, earth science, and so on. This shift has ensured that educators' views of science literacy stay in sync with the directions and advances of real science in the real world.
The interdependence of humans and our natural environment is at the heart of scientific literacy in the Earth systems. As defined by nationwide consensus among scientists and educators, this literacy has two key parts. First, a literate person is defined, in language that echoes the above definition of scientific literacy. Second, a set of concepts are listed, organized into six to nine big ideas or essential principles. This defining process was undertaken first for ocean literacy,[6] then for the Great Lakes,[7] estuaries,[8] the atmosphere,[9] and climate.[10] Earth science literacy[11] is one of the types of literacy defined for Earth systems; the qualities of an Earth science literate person are representative of the qualities for all the Earth system literacy definitions.
According to the Earth Science Literacy Initiative, an Earth-science-literate person:
- understands the fundamental concepts of Earth's many systems
- knows how to find and assess scientifically credible information about Earth
- communicates about Earth science in a meaningful way
- is able to make informed and responsible decisions regarding Earth and its resources[11]
All types of literacy in Earth systems have a definition like the above. Ocean literacy is further defined as "understanding our impact on the ocean and the ocean's impact on us".[6] Similarly, the climate literacy website includes a guiding principle for decision making; "humans can take action to reduce climate change and its impacts".[10] Each type of Earth systems literacy then defines the concepts students should understand upon graduation from high school. Current educational efforts in Earth systems literacy tend to focus more on the scientific concepts than on the decision-making aspect of literacy, but environmental action remains as a stated goal.
The theme of science in a socially-relevant context appears in many discussions of scientific literacy. Ideas that turn up in the life sciences include an allusion to ecological literacy, the "well-being of earth". Robin Wright, a writer for Cell Biology Education, laments "will [undergraduates'] misunderstandings or lack of knowledge about science imperil our democratic way of life and national security?"[12] A discussion of physics literacy includes energy conservation, ozone depletion and global warming.[13] The mission statement of the Chemistry Literacy Project [14] includes environmental and social justice. Technological literacy is defined in a three-dimensional coordinate space; on the knowledge axis, it is noted that technology can be risky, and that it "reflects the values and culture of society".[15] Energy Literacy boasts several websites, including one associated with climate literacy[10] and two advocacy organizations.[16][17]
Attitudes as part of scientific literacy[edit]
Attitudes about science can have a significant effect on scientific literacy. In education theory, understanding of content lies in the cognitive domain, while attitudes lie in the affective domain.[18] Thus, negative attitudes, such as fear of science, can act as an affective filter and an impediment to comprehension and future learning goals. Studies of college students' attitudes about learning physics suggest that these attitudes may be divided into categories of real world connections, personal connections, conceptual connections, student effort and problem solving.[19]
The decision making aspect of science literacy suggests further attitudes about the state of the world, one's responsibility for its well-being and one's sense of empowerment to make a difference. These attitudes may be important measures of science literacy, as described in the case of ocean literacy.[20]
Promoting and measuring[edit]
Proponents of scientific literacy tend to focus on what is learned by the time a student graduates from high school. Science literacy has always been an important element of the standards movement in education. All science literacy documents have been drafted with the explicit intent of influencing educational standards, as a means to drive curriculum, teaching, assessment, and ultimately, learning nationwide.
Programs to promote scientific literacy among students abound, including several programs sponsored by technology companies, as well as quiz bowls and science fairs. A partial list of such programs includes the Global Challenge Award, the National Ocean Sciences Bowl and Action Bioscience.[21]
Some organizations have attempted to compare the scientific literacy of adults in different countries. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found that scientific literacy in the United States is not measurably different from the OECD average.[22] Science News reports "The new U.S. rate, based on questionnaires administered in 2008, is seven percentage points behind Sweden, the only European nation to exceed the Americans. The U.S. figure is slightly higher than that for Denmark, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands. And it's double the 2005 rate in the United Kingdom (and the collective rate for the European Union)." [23]
University educators are attempting to develop reliable instruments to measure scientific literacy, and the use of concept inventories is increasing in the fields of physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology[24] and earth science.[25][26]

SummaryWnt signaling regulates a variety of developmental processes in animals. Although the β-catenin-dependent (canonical) pathway is known to control cell fate, a similar role for noncanonical Wnt signaling has not been established in mammals. Moreover, the intracellular cascades for noncanonical Wnt signaling remain to be elucidated. Here, we delineate a pathway in which Wnt3a signals through the Gαq/11 subunits of G proteins to activate phosphatidylinositol signaling and PKCδ in the murine ST2 cells. Gαq/11-PKCδ signaling is required for Wnt3a-induced osteoblastogenesis in these cells, and PKCδ homozygous mutant mice exhibit a deficit in embryonic bone formation. Furthermore, Wnt7b, expressed by osteogenic cells in vivo, induces osteoblast differentiation in vitro via the PKCδ-mediated pathway; ablation of Wnt7b in skeletal progenitors results in less bone in the mouse embryo. Together, these results reveal a Wnt-dependent osteogenic mechanism, and they provide a potential target pathway for designing therapeutics to promote bone formation.

SummaryOsteoblasts and chondrocytes are involved in building up the vertebrate skeleton and are thought to differentiate from a common mesenchymal precursor, the osteo-chondroprogenitor. Although numerous transcription factors involved in chondrocyte and osteoblast differentiation have been identified, little is known about the signals controlling lineage decisions of the two cell types. Here, we show by conditionally deleting β-catenin in limb and head mesenchyme that β-catenin is required for osteoblast lineage differentiation. Osteoblast precursors lacking β-catenin are blocked in differentiation and develop into chondrocytes instead. In vitro experiments demonstrate that this is a cell-autonomous function of β-catenin in an osteoblast precursor. Furthermore, detailed in vivo and in vitro loss- and gain-of-function analyses reveal that β-catenin activity is necessary and sufficient to repress the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into Runx2- and Sox9-positive skeletal precursors. Thus, canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for skeletal lineage differentiation, preventing transdifferentiation of osteoblastic cells into chondrocytes.

SummaryDevelopment of osteoporosis severely complicates long-term glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. Using a Cre-transgenic mouse line, we now demonstrate that GCs are unable to repress bone formation in the absence of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in osteoblasts as they become refractory to hormone-induced apoptosis, inhibition of proliferation, and differentiation. In contrast, GC treatment still reduces bone formation in mice carrying a mutation that only disrupts GR dimerization, resulting in bone loss in vivo, enhanced apoptosis, and suppressed differentiation in vitro. The inhibitory GC effects on osteoblasts can be explained by a mechanism involving suppression of cytokines, such as interleukin 11, via interaction of the monomeric GR with AP-1, but not NF-κB. Thus, GCs inhibit cytokines independent of GR dimerization and thereby attenuate osteoblast differentiation, which accounts, in part, for bone loss during GC therapy.

A Wnt canon orchestrating osteoblastogenesis
Institute of Molecular Pathology, Dr. Bohr-Gasse 7, 1030 Vienna, Austria
Several transcription factors have been identified that control the differentiation of osteoblasts; however, relatively little is known about the signaling pathways involved in regulating the differentiation process. Recently, the canonical Wnt–β-catenin pathway has been implicated in osteoblastogenesis. This review focuses on the role of the canonical Wnt–β-catenin pathway during embryonic development, where it is required for the differentiation of osteoblasts from a precusor that is shared with the chondrocyte lineage and the requirement of this pathway during postnatal life in bone homeostasis. The recent findings covered in this review are major advances in our understanding of skeletal development and promise new therapeutic avenues for tissue engineering and treatment of osteoporosis.

I think it funny how people are saying the team is playing terrible when they are playing 500 ball. They started out in a rough way but they are just now beginning to get a feel for one another. They beat a pretty good Atlanta team. Yes the Hawks were at the end of a busy road trip but none the less in that game the Bobcats looked like the team we saw late last year. Now this is what is funny. The Bobcats lose to the Bulls and they are back to playing terrible. What happened to the optimism that was the Bobcats after they beat Atlanta?
The Bobcats did score at least 90 points in regulation against the Bulls so it is not like the game was a choke job. The Bobcats were facing a pretty good Bulls team on a back to back.
By saying the Bobcats are playing terrible it takes away any credit that should go to their opponents. The Bulls were a pretty good team last year and they may be better this year.
I would not say the Bobcats are playing great or even good as of now but they are improving and they are not playing terrible. If they were playing terrible they would have been blown out of EVERY game they have played this season. The team has a few new players and the chemistry has to build. I think in a relatively short time the Bobcats will be a pretty good basketball team. Let us not jump the gun and say they are playing terrible with every loss the team suffers. All teams have nights where they struggle and play terrible. The first few games for the Cats were bound to be what they were. Time will give these players a comfort level and closeness. At least hopefully. Talent wise I think the team is fine they just need somebody to score regularly. I kind of thought Bell could do that but it is hard to say.
Considering that the cats don't have a go to scorer they still will win a fair amount of games. As long as they play smart, fundamental basketball and grow as team they will be flying high in no time. At least I hope so. Still let us not get too down on the team as of now. It is way too early. How many teams do you see start a little slow and then turn things on to make the playoffs? The first ten games are nothing to get to worked up over one way or the other. Give the team time to jell and if they suck we can give them a poor grade.

Video: Raphael Saadiq – "Day Dreams"
August 12th, 2011
This new Raphael Saadiq video for "Day Dreams" off of his latest release, Stone Rollin', is just cute. Featuring actor Danny Pudi from NBC's "Community," the video shows a broke but overzealous lover going on a shopping spree he can't quite afford. What's funny is that Pudi's character really doesn't seem to have a single care about his bad checks and debt building, and continues to carry along every so merrily.

Saint Joseph Mercy Health System
Burmeister Named to Executive Post at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, Livingston and Saline Hospitals
Start Date
Saint Joseph Mercy Health System is pleased to introduce Keith Burmeister as the new vice president of clinical service lines for St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, Livingston and Saline. The former chief executive officer of Michigan Heart, PC, Burmeister will retain oversight of cardiology services with the addition of orthopedics and oncology.
Burmeister joined Michigan Heart as chief operating officer in March 2009 and brings with him more than 25 years of clinical, finance, and operational experience. Previously he served as chief operating officer at Toledo, Ohio-based Genito-Urinary Surgeons, Inc. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Toledo and a master's degree from the University of Findlay.
In addition to Burmeister's professional experience, he possesses a unique style of leadership, one that will foster growth and camaraderie.
