I wish in the Rose Bowl it would be:
USC vs Georgia
USC vs LSU
I think SC is playing very well and better than any school. A lot of the sports media agrees.
I wish in the Rose Bowl it would be:
USC vs Georgia
USC vs LSU
I think SC is playing very well and better than any school. A lot of the sports media agrees.
In order for that to have even the tiniest chance of happening, you need Ohio State to make the title game, so root for Oklahoma (vs. Missouri) and/or UConn (@ West Virginia) this weekend.
LSU is impossible, as they'll either go to the Sugar Bowl as the SEC champion or be out of the BCS entirely with 3 losses after the Tennessee game.
Georgia is a slight possibility as a replacement pick for Ohio State moving up, but again you need one of the top two teams to lose first.
In other words: don't bet on it.

I know what you are saying....I was just wishing USC (provided if they win on Sat) was playing Georgia, instead of Ohio State. I dont think Ohio State can hang with SC. There are a lot of overrated teams, LSU, West Virginia, etc.... Hell, I am sure SC was a bit overrated this season but at this point, I think dollar for dollar SC has the best team. IMO.
In my dream world, UCLA beats USC and USC doesn't play in the Rose Bowl.
Arizona over Arizona State
UCLA over USC
UCLA over Ohio State!!!
W00T - KD signed to another 10 years!!!!
I don't get the SC hype machine. Booty is the same QB who sucked ass against UCLA last year and against Stanford this year. He's got a great arm and he plays well when he gets great protection, but he's never performed well against a defense that will get after him.
ASU is a highly overrated team who just barely beat us with our 3rd string QB (and we SUCK with Osaar Rasshan at QB). Anyone who didn't think USC was going to rout them needed their head checked or was deceived by ASU's bogus ranking.
USC's a very good team, but the best in the country? Please.
I don't watch a lot of college football, but my true BCS dream is a title game of Ohio State vs. Georgia. Just to put the final coda on this ridiculous season.

Infection Control – Healthcare Textile Infection Control Guidelines
- Details
- Created on Tuesday, 03 April 2001 01:45
- Written by Raymond B. Otero
State and Federal laws do not require that personnel who handle contaminated textiles be certified in order to achieve accreditation. However, it has been NAILM's opinion for the past 24 years that in order for personnel to work in either laundry or environmental services that proper training is important to reduce excessive cost and injuries.
These abbreviated guidelines, excerpted from NAILM's recently published Healthcare Textile Infection Control Guidelines, will allow the provider of laundry and environmental services to achieve a better understanding of
infection control practices.
If one follows STANDARD PRECAUTIONS (formerly known as Universal Precautions/Body Substance Isolation) in handling all contaminated linens, the chance of disease transmission will be almost non-existent. A break in safety techniques can be the cause of healthcare workers getting infected through the handling of soiled linens.
Collection and Transportation of Soiled Textiles
Soiled linen should be handled as little as possible and with a minimum of agitation to prevent gross microbial contamination of the air and persons handling the linen. All linens regardless of origin should be handled in the same manner (Standard Precautions). All soiled linen should be bagged at the location where it was used.
The collection bag should be of sufficient quality to contain the wet/soiled linens and prevent soak-through (leakage) during handling and transportation. The type of bag that will be used is dependent on the amount of soil generated by the patient. Cloth laundry bags today are of sufficient quality to prevent soak-through with normal handling or being transported in chutes. Plastic bags are commonly used for the transportation of soiled linens in healthcare.
The use of personal protective equipment such as reusable gloves and gowns or aprons should be made available to all personnel who are handling soiled linens. The use of masks is not required since aerosols generated by inappropriate handling of linens will not cause respiratory illness. The particles generated are so large that they will not enter lung tissues (see www.cinetwork.com/otero and click on prevention of diseases).
Reusable gloves should be used rather than disposable because of the thinness of the latter, which do not protect the health care worker from gross contamination or tearing. Latex or vinyl gloves were never intended to receive the physical pressure that sorting of linens creates. It is not unusual for a laundry worker in the soiled area to use a box of latex gloves per day for protection. Every time gloves are torn or removed, handwashing must be performed.
The use of protective eyewear is not necessary because the splashing of blood or body fluids from linens is unlikely. The use of hairnets or foot covers is not necessary and it is up to the discretion of the laundry manager if they are required. For infection control purposes, these items are not necessary.
Handwashing sinks are required in the soiled room area. It would be inappropriate that soiled–linen handlers have to go outside of their area to wash their hands. The sink should be only used for handwashing, it should be clean and contain a soap dispenser, and paper towels. The use of antiseptic soaps in the soiled linen area is controversial. The most important factor is good handwashing. The use of a good lotion soap is more than satisfactory. It is not what you wash your hands with – it is how and when you wash your hands that is important.
The finding of sharps or other items in textiles received in the soiled room area is not unusual. Soiled textiles coming to the dirty-room sorting area should be examined carefully. This will prevent occupational exposures and infections from bloodborne pathogens or other organisms. It is also important that soiled-linen personnel become trained on how to pick up needles and other sharps that may have inadvertently hit the floor (dust pan or forceps only). Remember it is OSHA's rule that needle boxes must be placed in areas where linens are sorted. It must be clearly visible to anyone entering this area.
Plant Facilities
The laundry facilities shall be designed, equipped, and ventilated to reduce the dissemination of microorganisms onto finished textiles. The ventilation shall include adequate intake, filtration, air exchange rate (5 – 10 per hour) and exhaust in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. The soiled linen area shall be separated physically from the clean linen area.
Hazardous Drugs
Linen contaminated with hazardous drugs or excreta from patients who have received hazardous drugs in the past 48 hours is a potential source of exposures to employees. Linen soiled with blood or other potentially infectious materials as well as contaminated with excreta must also be managed according to the infection control manual of the facility (Universal Precautions). Linen that is grossly contaminated with hazardous drugs such as a spillage should be placed in a chemotherapy waste disposal unit. Linens used by patients who have received hazardous drugs, which are not grossly contaminated, shall be handled as other linen.
It is important that providers understand infection control practices for handling, processing, storage and delivery of textiles in a healthcare setting. Too often stringent, non-sensible recommendations are made without foundation. It is hoped that these guidelines will help in alleviating some of these misconceptions.

Louise Dennys's introduction to the world of bookselling occurred during her summer breaks from studies at Oxford University when she worked at Blackwell's, the well-known bookstore. After graduation, she became manager of the Oxford University Press bookstore in London. Romance with a Canadian man led to her coming to Canada in 1972 where she obtained a position as editorial assistant at Clarke Irwin and later as editor. She formed a partnership with Toronto antiquarian bookseller, Hugh Anson-Cartwright, that saw the publication of five books, including The bass saxophone by Josef Skvorecky.
Dennys had been directed to Skvorecky by her uncle, the noted writer, Graham Greene. Her dedicated hand-selling of books by Skvorecky and other authors resulted in close working relationships with the writers whom she edited. The success of Anson-Cartwright Editions encouraged Ms. Dennys to try a solo publishing company specializing in foreign rights, E.L. Dennys Editions. Underfinanced, the company did not last long. However, her work had attracted the attention of Malcolm Lester and Eve Orpen.
In 1978, she joined the firm of Lester & Orpen which became Lester & Orpen Dennys the following year. There, as partner, Dennys concentrated on literary fiction, as exemplified by the company's International Fiction List. This mixed Canadian writers like Marie-Claire Blais with foreign writers such as Italo Calvino. Along with attracting good writers on an international level, Dennys and her partner established Canada as a separate market for English-language publishing rights.
The year 1991 saw Louise Dennys move to Knopf Canada to become its publisher and the Vice-President of Random House Canada. It remains to be seen if the proposed purchase of Random House Canada by the German conglomerate, Bertelsmann AG, will affect the number of Canadians on Random House Canada's author list. Meanwhile, Ms. Dennys continues to place Canadian authors in a global publishing milieu.
She has also been active in the literary and publishing communities through her work as Past President of PEN Canada; Past Chairwoman of the International Trade Committee of the Association of Canadian Publishers and lecturing in the publishing program at the Banff School of Fine Arts.

Euro Racists
Nice. If you want to insult someone, you call them "Jew." (Video is long, but very interesting; disturbing.)
The guy in the video explains that it's not meant to be an INSULT insult, just a terrible thing to call someone.
And of course all the things they call black people. I'm pretty tired of Euroweenies calling Americans racist.

Nairobi, Kenya, 25 Feb 09
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will ask a youth group climbing Africa's highest mountain at the weekend to call him on a satellite telephone from the summit and brief him on the melting glaciers and the impact climate change is having on Mount Kilimanjaro.
The climbers will start their ascent on Saturday February 28 in the fourth annual climb organized by the Kilimanjaro Initiative, a non-governmental organization supported by the UN-HABITAT Youth and Safer Cities Programmes, devoted to transforming the lives of youth from poor urban neighbourhoods in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
"This year the climb has attracted the attention of the UN Secretariat as it champions the issue of climate change, which is affecting the global economy and contributing to the food crisis and an increase in environmental refugees," said Ms. Fanina Kodre-Alexander of the United Nations Environment Programme. "This is why the Secretary General has asked us to contact him once we reach the top and talk to him about our experiences".
Ms. Kodre-Alexander was speaking when she and Ms. Pamela Agnone, the Vice President of the United Nations Federal Credit Union joined UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka as she officially opened the Nairobi office of the Kilimanjaro Initiative.
The NGO was started four years ago by Mr. Tim Challen, a UNFCU employee who was shot and seriously wounded in a violent robbery in Nairobi. The organization provides an opportunity for youth from slums to climb the highest mountain in Africa, and in the process to gain confidence and self esteem. Over 50 youths from Dar es Salaam, Nairobi and other cities in the region have participated in the annual climb and shared their experiences with people from all corners of the world.
Mrs. Tibaijuka commended Mr. Challen, saying his unswerving energy and dedication had ensured the initiative's success. "Tim came back to Nairobi to transform his personal and dramatic encounter with crime into an opportunity for development. He went that one step beyond what most of us do when we experience tragedy," she said.
Mrs. Tibaijuka also said UN-HABITAT had been providing support to a city-wide initiative for the prevention of crime and violence in Nairobi, adding that it was hosting the 2nd National Forum on Safe Neighbourhoods at the Hilton Hotel from 23 to 26 February.
Ms. Agnone said UNFCU would donate office equipment and help raise funds to support the NGO's proposed micro-finance project.

The human body can survive about 30 days without food but less than a week without water under cool to moderate conditions. As outside temperatures rise the survivability without water drastically plummets. In order to survive you must have water.
The minimum amount of water you should have stored for a disaster is:
For a family of four this translates to:
1 gallon x 4 people x 5 days = 20 gallons
Do not forget to include pets in the equation as well. So in the above example a family of four with a dog and a cat needs:
1 gallon x 6 people/animals x 5 days = 30 gallons
Three gallons a day minimum will require a great deal of water conservation on your part. If possible a seven day supply would be much more preferable. Water supplies should be changed once a year at a minimum.
If your water supply is shut off any your stored emergency supplies have been exhausted, there are several alternative sources.
1. Water heaters tanks may be shut off and drained
2. Water from unsalted canned vegetables may be used
If you are unsure of the quality of the water, purify it before drinking. You can heat water to a rolling boil for 10 minutes, use purification tablets, or use unscented 5.25% household liquid bleach to purify. To purify using bleach add bleach to the water, shake or stir the container then let it stand for 30 minutes before drinking. For amounts of bleach to add use the following guide:

Water Quantity
Bleach Added to water
1 quart
4 drop from a medicine dropper
1 gallon
16 drops from a medicine dropper
5 gallons
1 teaspoon

The Daily Scope:
Monday, February 25
Pop the cork and pour the champagne—there's much to celebrate; the stars are busy this week.
We have two important cosmic encounters. First, the moon becomes full in Virgo, the sign of the pristine and delicate maiden. Second, Venus, the planet of love, enters into Pisces, where she is at her most beautiful and beguiling. This represents a polarity and progression of feminine power, asking for us to first purify and then commit to the image of ideal love. In this celestial mystery, often reflected in human relationships, purification precedes commitment.
Click here to read the full forecast for the week of February 25.
Below are the horoscopes for Monday, February 25. Check back for daily updates throughout the week.
The week begins with the full moon accentuating the mysterious, encouraging you to dive deep into the realm of dreams and the subconscious. Your exploration of what is hidden just below the threshold of the conscious mind can yield a surprising revelation, defying rational thought. You just "know" something today. Perhaps this insight has to do with your self-worth, and the ways you express that in the world.
Pisces, today is a powerful day for you. The full moon accentuates relationships and freeing yourself finally from a past relationship that has haunted you. You feel that great changes are taking place and you are ready to embrace the new life.
Exciting changes—you can positively feel them in the air. But where will they come from? One thing is certain: You are ready! The full moon today asks for you to care for yourself, so that when the new chapter begins you can seize the day. Carpe diem! The radiance of the full moon shines upon your love life today. This delights and enchants you, because you know that moon beams enhance the fresh feelings of love you're discovering.
This is a day when you are likely to feel a bit divided. The full moon lights up your home life, while Venus, the planet of romance, casts her lovely light upon your professional life. With such a contrary situation, what's a Gemini to do?
Dear moon child, the full moon today presents some challenges. As of late, your romantic life has been demanding. You and your partner have been working through some challenges. As difficult as this period has been, it will ultimately prove strengthening for your relationship. The full moon finds you engaged in an inner dialogue about your values and your financial life. Though money has been very much on your mind recently, this has been part of a deeper theme that has to do with restructuring your home as well as your foundations in life.
The full moon is shining on you, Virgo. People are dazzled by your charm, and you find yourself at the center of attention. With the stars favoring you, let yourself take center stage. After your curtain call, find your way to a candlelit table for two, where romance clings to you like a rose-colored spotlight.
Today, the day of the full moon, is busy and productive. The emphasis is on work: professional advancement. Give yourself ample time to attend to the day-to-day workings of your life, and make appointments for health-care and professional services. That said, once some of your maintenance issues have been taken care of, this is also a day to tend to your aspirational vision and philosophic ideals.
The full moon finds you involved with your self-image and transforming the way you work with others. You have an intense desire to move your creative expression out into the world, and you wish for your accomplishments to be both seen and recognized by a wider audience.
Today's full moon intensifies your work life. This is at odds with your partner, who wants the two of you to be out and about and socially active. It's also at odds with some demands that arise from home, whether projects calling for your attention or service-and-maintenance issues. It's a lot to juggle, but you, Sag, are known for your expansive vision and enormous capability.
The full moon highlights your aspirations and your ability to effectively communicate your goals today. You are poised for advancement at work, and you find that this requires creative collaboration and team work.

In February 2009 I wrote an article for The Wall Street Journal entitled "Reaganomics v Obamanomics," which argued that the emerging outlines of President Obama's economic policies were following in close detail exactly the opposite of President Reagan's economic policies. As a result, I predicted that Obamanomics would have the opposite results of Reaganomics. That prediction seems to be on track.
When President Reagan entered office in 1981, he faced actually much worse economic problems than President Obama faced in 2009. Three worsening recessions starting in 1969 were about to culminate in the worst of all in 1981-1982, with unemployment soaring into double digits at a peak of 10.8%. At the same time America suffered roaring double-digit inflation, with the CPI registering at 11.3% in 1979 and 13.5% in 1980 (25% in two years). The Washington establishment at the time argued that this inflation was now endemic to the American economy, and could not be stopped, at least not without a calamitous economic collapse.
All of the above was accompanied by double -igit interest rates, with the prime rate peaking at 21.5% in 1980. The poverty rate started increasing in 1978, eventually climbing by an astounding 33%, from 11.4% to 15.2%. A fall in real median family income that began in 1978 snowballed to a decline of almost 10% by 1982. In addition, from 1968 to 1982, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 70% of its real value, reflecting an overall collapse of stocks.
President Reagan campaigned on an explicitly articulated, four-point economic program to reverse this slow motion collapse of the American economy:
1. Cut tax rates to restore incentives for economic growth, which was implemented first with a reduction in the top income tax rate of 70% down to 50%, and then a 25% across-the-board reduction in income tax rates for everyone. The 1986 tax reform then reduced tax rates further, leaving just two rates, 28% and 15%.
2. Spending reductions, including a $31 billion cut in spending in 1981, close to 5% of the federal budget then, or the equivalent of about $175 billion in spending cuts for the year today. In constant dollars, nondefense discretionary spending declined by 14.4% from 1981 to 1982, and by 16.8% from 1981 to 1983. Moreover, in constant dollars, this nondefense discretionary spending never returned to its 1981 level for the rest of Reagan's two terms! Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That's a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%.
3. Anti-inflation monetary policy restraining money supply growth compared to demand, to maintain a stronger, more stable dollar value.
4. Deregulation, which saved consumers an estimated $100 billion per year in lower prices. Reagan's first executive order, in fact, eliminated price controls on oil and natural gas. Production soared, and aided by a strong dollar the price of oil declined by more than 50%.
These economic policies amounted to the most successful economic experiment in world history. The Reagan recovery started in official records in November 1982, and lasted 92 months without a recession until July 1990, when the tax increases of the 1990 budget deal killed it. This set a new record for the longest peacetime expansion ever, the previous high in peacetime being 58 months.
During this seven-year recovery, the economy grew by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany, the third-largest in the world at the time, to the U.S. economy. In 1984 alone real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created during the recovery, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.
The shocking rise in inflation during the Nixon and Carter years was reversed. Astoundingly, inflation from 1980 was reduced by more than half by 1982, to 6.2%. It was cut in half again for 1983, to 3.2%, never to be heard from again until recently. The contractionary, tight-money policies needed to kill this inflation inexorably created the steep recession of 1981 to 1982, which is why Reagan did not suffer politically catastrophic blame for that recession.
Real per-capita disposable income increased by 18% from 1982 to 1989, meaning the American standard of living increased by almost 20% in just seven years. The poverty rate declined every year from 1984 to 1989, dropping by one-sixth from its peak. The stock market more than tripled in value from 1980 to 1990, a larger increase than in any previous decade.
In The End of Prosperity, supply side guru Art Laffer and Wall Street Journal chief financial writer Steve Moore point out that this Reagan recovery grew into a 25-year boom, with just slight interruptions by shallow, short recessions in 1990 and 2001. They wrote:
We call this period, 1982-2007, the twenty-five year boom–the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet. In 1980, the net worth–assets minus liabilities–of all U.S. households and business … was $25 trillion in today's dollars. By 2007, … net worth was just shy of $57 trillion. Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the twenty-five year boom than in the previous two hundred years.
What is so striking about Obamanomics is how it so doggedly pursues the opposite of every one of these planks of Reaganomics. Instead of reducing tax rates, President Obama is committed to raising the top tax rates of virtually every major federal tax. As already enacted into current law, in 2013 the top two income tax rates will rise by nearly 20%, counting as well Obama's proposed deduction phase-outs.
I would never allow you to balance my checkbook. After reading this dribble passed off as an article I have to wonder who in Forbes let you write this and call it journalism. By ANY standard of economic theory Reaganomics was a disaster. Reagen, for all his small government rhetoric, spent 22.4% of GDP. No predecessor since then has spent that amount. He took public debt under his tenure from 26% of GDP to 41% of GDP. His debt was more than every American President before him combined. We are still paying for this today. For all the right wing rhetoric about how the debt has increased under Obama the fact is that it has grown at a slower rate than his predecessor in this job. You have no business writing a word about economics, but, then yet, journalism ha lowered itself to pandering to groups who will subscribe not to the truth it should be reporting.
Well– your position that President Reagan cut spending— isn't really true. Reagan spent like a lunitic during his first few years– remember– he called it "priming the pump" of the economic engine? Ran up colossal deficits that stuck around until the end of the Clinton era? Everyone on the left was screaming about how he was going to bankrupt the country? Any of this ring a bell?
I actually don't think a spending bill when the economy is slow is a bad idea. It has benefits. It can lead to growth, as President Reagan showed us. As long as you're smart enough to pay it back at some point (like President Clinton did).
Note– Presidents Clinton and Reagan have been the two most successful economic terms of the past sixty years.
These two couldn't be more different in their approach to the economy. Translation: The same thing that worked then, might not work now. Also: There is more than one approach to economic success. And if you're still seeing through blinders, ask yourself how President Clinton inverted all of President Reagan's policies and still had record expansion over 8-years. No momentum set in place by President Reagan could have carried 8 years of the Clinton Presidency under entirely different policy.
Clinton had the benefit of a booming Wall Street. But he also managed the boom extremely well– and did smart things with the surplus he created. If you think it's easy to do– ask his successor who failed miserably.
President Bush spent like a drunken sailor (necessary in some cases (9/11 and Katrina) not in others (prescription drugs and wars)) AND at the same time lowered taxes (inexcusable under those economic conditions). The results are obvious– you can do one, but not both.
I gave President Obama some slack when he entered office to see if his economic stimulus would work, as President Reagan's did. It failed miserably– for very good reason– he targeted niche markets. Solar energy– Cash for Clunkers– programs that didn't help the masses– and in some cases hurt the same poor folks he was trying to help in the first place.
President Obama, after campaigning on fiscal responsibility broke his promise with America, and we're still suffering as a result. Note to the President– if you want to stimulate the economy– select broad industries which affect a lot of people.
This isn't an endorsement of Mitt Romney, I don't think he has the right answers either.
If you want to truly reinvent America, it's going to start with broad, moderate spending bill (not anywhere near the trillion dollar disaster) and moderate tax increases so the deficit doesn't skyrocket. Have a plan in place to balance the budget in short order, and begin paying down debt. Deregulation is a good thing– but with checks and balances so we don't end up in another banking scandal.
In short, we need some common sense, that crosses both political territories. No one taking part in the fall election is that brave.
I am not such a fan of Obama, but they started with very different problems. For one thing (and the thing that seems to be the focus of this article), tax rates were extremely different at the beginning of their terms. Reagan cut taxes from extremely high rates to extremely low rates. Obama is not (as the article misleads by using absolute % for Reagan and then growth % for Obama – immediate proof that the article has a bullshit agenda) pushing rates anywhere where they were before Reagan. Not even a little bit near. The article insinuates that this is the plan. Again, I am not saying that I like Obama's policies or that they are good, I am just saying that this article is not objectively approaching the claims being made. At least make claims using numbers that don't mislead or you have no credibility in your claims at all.
Allthough the author of the article makes some very strong points. It has failed to recognize numerous things between reaganomics and Obamanomics.
First being the time period. In the 1980′s the cost of living was significantly cheaper than the cost of living now. Also how voters and Americans were brought up then Was different then they are being brought up now. These are different people than were living in America in the 1980′s.
Second being the fact that when the recession was happening in the 80′s it was a post war time recession, and today's recession is currently still in a wartime recession.
Also the fact that Reagan was a republican helped him get what he wanted done. Whereas Obama is a Democrat, who is being opposed on numerous fronts by the Republicans.
Also during that time period there where Millions more jobs in America. But since then Al lot of those jobs have been outsourced to third-world countries for cheaper labor.
Therefore I will have to deny the comparison between the two presidents.
I think this is a spin-doctor moment: Even with the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5% of GDP in 1983 to 21.3% in 1988 and 21.2% in 1989. That's a real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy of 10%.
If the National Debt in 1980 was a quaint $900 billion and a less-than-quaint $3.5 trillion when President Reagan completed his efforts, why is that a reduction? From $1 trillion to $3.5 trillion is an increase! The National Debt is a future tax increase with interest tacked on.
Deregulation: It seems that there is Good Deregulation and Bad Deregulation. The Taxpayers had to Bail the S&L institutions to the tune of $160.1 Billion dollars (net loss of $124 billion). This was the first banking crisis in since the Great Depression. Funny how that happened. Huh? Of course, the most recent financial calamity also caused by financial sector deregulation is further proof that deregulation works all the time every time.
Over simplification: "the Reagan defense buildup, which won the Cold War without firing a shot…"
I am pretty sure the complete and utter incompetence of the Soviet economy would have collapsed under the wait of its' own construction. Other ingredients that are not mentioned in this "perfect experiment" are: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and its drain on the USSR, Gorbachev's understanding of the weakness of the Soviet economy, and his efforts at Glasnost and Perestroika.
To suggest that the Soviet Union collapsed strictly because the 1981 tax cuts and Trillions in defense spending is an overreach.
Economic expansions:
March 1991 — March 2001: 120 months
February 1961 — December 1969: 106 months
November 1982 — July 1990: 92 months

With a time trial in the morning and a road race in the afternoon, I snapped a few pics of the French teams competing. I haven't been able to find any info online about the race, which is a pity as im curious!

Max Talbot Is "Connecting with fans"
Bizarre read over at NHL.com:
"I went to an Eagles game last week and I connected with some fans," he said. "They said we're glad to have you on our side. Hopefully I can still build something like I had in Pittsburgh because it was pretty special. When the fans like you, you know you're doing something right."
How do you connect with fans? Clearly Max Talbot has it all figured out. Idiot.

Easy poll here fellas and gals. Basically, are you happy with the 5.7L or the 6.7L in your heavy duty, or, do you wish you had the other engine (aka wishing had the CTD instead of the Hemi or vice-versa)? If you feel, please explain why.

I voted Hemi and happy. However, I do wish my Hemi was a little quieter. I'm not talking Hemi tick either, I'm talking Hemi marbles in can rattling and a cold startup knock (piston slap maybe) that sounds like a diesel. Performance wise though I'm satisfied.

I feel the performance from the Hemi is adequate for my current use and I avoided the new Cummins so as not to deal with engine/emission's related problems some were having. That said, I loved my 2004 Cummins powered 2500 and while the overall truck was not as nice as my 2010 that 305/555 Cummins was stone cold reliable.

I am happy with my Hemi about 95% of the time. That other 5% is when I'm doing any substantial towing. Don't get me wrong, the hemi does a pretty good job, and I'm sure with the 66rfe in my new truck it will do even better, but there is no comparison to the cummins when towing.
I am slowly getting tired of the hemi in my work truck though. I need to convince my boss of the benefits of a 3500 cummins for my next truck. I put minimum 300km on the truck every day with about a 3000lb load 100% of the time. Plus, I regularly haul trailers that are 5-9k lbs. I'll probably get another year out of this truck, so I've got a bit of time left to do some convincing.

That Hemi 2500 was a waste of my time and money. It was ok until I started using it for work. Just driving around town it was ok.
There should definitely be a Hemi option in the HD. Lots of people have them and they are fine. Just not in my case.

I love my Hemi. I'd say about 85-15. For what I do its perfect, mostly to and from work. This is my first HD truck as well. I would have loved to get the CTD but no real use for it. But, whenever I see a guy go past with a loud Cummins, makes me want one!

When I still had my 2500 Hemi it was more than enough for me as a "Part time Tower." If I ever got a gooseneck and it was over the 1500 capacities I will get another 2500 Hemi. That being said I will always take a Cummins if the price is right and only drawbacks being just too short of a distance to work and back (4 miles each way) and not enough towing imo to justify.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Halligan, I wish you luck. I'm glad I'm seeing some similarities with some of you. I would like a CTD, but have no real need for one. I figure I can save a couple of bones with the hemi option when I order my 2013 mega. Besides, I'm not going to lie, it'll be a daily driver more than heavy hauler.

I'm about 60/40 for the Hemi...
I do some long distance driving (Drive to Edmonton about once a month 1200km round trip) and at those times I wish I had it, but otherwise I love my HEMI

Hemi and happy here. I came to the 2500 Hemi from a Duramax and initially I was dissapointed but after I upgraded the stock 3.73 gears to 4.56's I have been extremely happy.
This is my daily driver to, from and for work but I rarely tow, maybe 5 times in a 1.5 years. If I was towing on a regular basis I would have went with the CTD. Now I have to make my appointment to get this APS TC and Trans-go shift kit installed for the final touches. Rich

The sound of Oklahoma's Own perfecting their craft could be heard in the halls of Will Rogers High Thursday.
Students received a special treat, as Grammy award-winning violinist Mark O'Connor showed the kids his new learning method.
O'Connor said the new method has helped thousands of kids, and brings the history and culture of music to the classroom.
"It's a lot of fun, but it's very creative, and I think the creative part is really one of the hallmarks in the method," O'Connor said.
O'Connor's visit was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
He'll be the featured guest artist with the Tulsa Symphony this weekend.

Photo: Thinkstock "There are many types of bread," Tony said with a flourish of his index finger, giving it a little spin and pointing upward. "Today we will learn how to bake the most basic kind, but, of course, bake it to perfection." He stood behind his counter in the studio. Cameras moved in and out to catch his every motion and smile. "There is only one way to bake bread,'' he continued with a grin. "First, you must want to do it. Second, you must have flour, water, yeast and salt."
So began another of Tony's delightful cooking courses. Across the city, novice and expert cooks alike took notes or stood in their own kitchens, following Tony step by step. "First, mix the yeast, flour and water, like this." He demonstrated, roughly measuring each ingredient and stirring it in with a wooden spoon. "Then put the dough on a countertop, like this, and begin sprinkling in more flour," he said. "Knead the dough as you do, using your hands and arms as well as your fingers, like this." His body rocked rhythmically back and forth as he lovingly kneaded the lump of dough, which was growing softer and more malleable. "Don't forget to add a little salt and maybe a little sugar," he continued. "So much of baking is personal taste. Experiment. Let yourself be guided. It's your bread you're baking." Creating authentic power is like baking bread. First, you have to want to do it. Then you need to follow the recipe. If you do these things, you'll have lots of opportunities to experiment and be guided by your inner promptings. As with bread, it's your own loaf that you are baking. Unlike bread, no one else can bake it for you. The recipe for authentic power is as simple as the recipe for bread—harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for Life. Those are the ingredients. How you put them together depends upon you, but without all of them, authentic power is not possible any more than bread is possible without the ingredients that are required to make it. This is how to do it. First, clear the countertop of everything but what you will need to "bake" authentic power. That means put every intention aside for the moment except the intentions to create harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for Life. Second, keep doing it. Soon you will start to create some harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for Life. The bread is baking. Eventually, you will create these things moment by moment, choice by choice. That is authentic power. Experiences of fulfillment, meaning and awareness can be created. This is big news.

Climate change is the significant and lasting change of our weather over sustained periods of time. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, most of the observed increase in temperature over the last 50 years is very likely the result of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. And this change in climate will drastically impact how we live.
Climate change is a major risk to public health, and it will significantly increase disease and other adverse health outcomes in California. Some health impacts will be direct, such as injuries that occur during wildfires. Other health impacts will arise as a result of changes in ecology and environmental degradation.
By contributing data and expertise, the California Environmental Health Tracking Program (CEHTP) is supporting larger efforts within the California Department of Public Health to assist Californians in preventing and preparing for the health effects of climate change.

Protein linked to motor nerve cells being fast or slow
When motor nerve cells, or neurons, from chickens and mice make more of a certain protein, the cells act like fast motor neurons, sending signals to muscles more quickly in short bursts good for jumping and running. Switching off the protein-making gene makes the motor neurons act slow, firing fewer times over a longer period, which helps with standing and staying upright.
The protein, Delta-like homolog 1, or Dlk1, is made in 30 percent of motor neurons. It helps to determine at which speed the cells work, and it may determine how the motor nerve cells develop to control different movements, scientists report March 13 in Science. Additional experiments showed that mice with motor neurons completely lacking the protein could walk, stand and swim as well as normal mice, but they had trouble stopping their movements and created a bit less force with their legs.

The fighting along the Kingston Turnpike in front of you here at Campbell's Station on a cold, rainy, and miserable November 16, 1863, helped to set the stage for the decisive Battle of Knoxville. Confederate Gen. James Longstreet's corps had been moving north from Chattanooga to recapture Knoxville from Union Gen. Ambrose Burnside and establish a base in East Tennessee. Knoxville was a vital strongpoint for both armies because it was where supplies for the Confederacy arrived by rail from Virginia.
