WHO report 2008
Global tuberculosis control
2.7 Enabling and promoting research
A total of 49 countries including 19 HBCs reported that operational research activities were implemented in 2006. The countries with the largest programmes of operational research (in terms of the number of studies being done) were China and India. The most common topics were related to the following components of the Stop TB Strategy: DOTS (around 40 studies, with examples including how to improve diagnosis and patient care); TB/HIV, MDR-TB and other challenges (about 40 studies); and PPM (7 studies). Many countries also reported conducting surveys of drug resistance and prevalence of disease, as well as plans to conduct in-depth analysis of the impact of TB control using routine surveillance data (see also sections 2.2.6 and 2.3.2 above).

Freedom Child Generating 'Buzz' at Belmont
By Michael on Jun 07, 2013 with Comments 0
In 2006, trainer Tom Albertrani entered a Triple Crown race with a fresh, talented horse and came away with an upset victory.
Seven years after Bernardini's triumph in the Preakness, Albertrani is taking aim at the Belmont Stakes with Freedom Child, who has been gaining plenty of attention leading up to the race.
"Everyone's been talking about this horse quite a bit all week," Albertrani told NYRA Press on Thursday, after Freedom Child galloped 1 ¼ miles on the main track. "Hopefully, it gives you a little more confidence. I like what I'm seeing. I'm getting all the good signs. He couldn't be doing any better."
Albertrani had similar feelings going into the Preakness with Bernardini, whose victory was overshadowed by the breakdown of Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. Bernardini would go on to prove himself with wins in the Grade 1 Travers and Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup and be named Champion Three-Year-Old Male.
"I just felt with the way Bernardini was training going into the Preakness, I had about the same level of confidence as I do going into this race with this horse," Albertrani said. "Not knowing what the outcome's going to be, I'm just saying my level of confidence in both cases would be about the same. As it turned out, Bernardini did win, but when you know your horse is training well and they're doing good, you've got that confidence that they should perform well."
Terry Finley, the founder and president of Freedom Child's co-owner West Point Thoroughbreds, is also feeling good about the colt's chances.
"This is the first time we've ever had a buzz horse like this in a real big race," Finley said. "I'm very confident. I've kind of learned over the years, why not be confident, even if you're 15 or 20-1? People get to fretting, but it's just great what's happening. What if we're not disappointed? It'd be a pretty cool day."

Measures 4.75" long x 4" wide (wingspan). Having researched the piece, the age falls somew in the range 1950s - 1970s. The finished metal is made to look like brass. I'm not sure if it IS, or not, but it's a very heavy and heavy-duty metal piece and a magnet does not stick to it. It is signed CYGNUS, INC. I've taken several angles to give you a good idea.

The picnic area is on the highest part of the lake and overlooks the east side of the dam. The lake, in the Grand Prairie region of Texas, sits on the Trinity River on the southwest edge of the Fort Worth metropolitan area.
Prevailing southwesterly winds on the lake attract plenty of avid windsurfers to the lake. Fishing, hiking, swimming and boating are popular pastimes. The lake record for largemouth bass is over thirteen pounds. Other catches include carp, sunfish and flathead catfish.
Longhorn does not offer direct lake access, but a short walk will take visitors to a swimming area.

Toro Announces 2013 Super Bowl Sports Turf Training Program
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (September 21, 2012) The Toro Company is now taking applications for the 11th annual Toro Super Bowl Sports Turf Training Program. In January 2013, one lucky student will travel to New Orleans to help grounds crews prepare the field for the biggest day in professional football.
To be considered for this once in a lifetime opportunity, entries must be postmarked or emailed by Friday, November 2, 2012. Applicants must be enrolled in at least the second year of a two-year turf program or in at least the junior year of a four-year turf program.
Through the Sports Turf Training Program, Toro and the NFL's Super Bowl grounds team collaborate to offer a program aimed at enhancing the skills of emerging sports turf professionals. This program provides hands-on experience in establishing and maintaining safe playing fields. This year's recipient will learn from the legendary George Toma, a trusted consultant and advisor who has helped prepare the field for every Super Bowl game in history. The winner will also work alongside NFL field director Ed Mangan, and the Super Bowl grounds crew on turf maintenance, logo painting, field preparation for media day, and halftime preparation and clean-up.
Toro equipment and representatives have been involved in preparing the stadium and practice fields for the Super Bowl for over 40 years. Starting with the inaugural World Championship in 1967, the NFL grounds crew has relied on Toro for its expertise in preparing the game field and multiple practice facilities. In 2003, the organizations partnered to establish The Toro Super Bowl Sports Turf Training Program.
The winner will be announced on November 30, 2012. Application forms are available online at www.toro.com/superbowl. Any questions or comments can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Evan Osnos August 7, 2000 Issue View From the Bridge By Peter Hessler View Issue» View From the Bridge The New Yorker, August 7, 2000 P. 32 ABSTRACT: LETTER FROM CHINA about the scene on the riverfront border between China and North Korea… Writer tells about surprising a thief, probably a North Korean, in his room, and how he fought with him. . . Apart from the North Korean swimmers, the main tourist attraction in town was the Yalu River Broken Bridge, which had once connected Dandong and Sinuiju. In November, 1950, during the first year of the Korean War, American bombers destroyed most of the bridge when General MacArthur's troops made their push toward China's border. In Chinese, the war is known as "the war of resistance against America and in support of Korea." It is estimated that a million Chinese died in the fighting. . .. Today, the Chinese half of the Yalu River bridge is still standing. Tourists can walk to the end of it, look at the bombed-out wreckage, and pay one yuan to stare through a telescope at the North Koreans. . .. Writer mentions reports of famine in the country. . . The Gateway to the Country Hunting Park was one of the recreational options available to Dandong's tourists, a place where they could hunt "wild" quail, pigeons, pheasants, and rabbits. The birds were tethered to the ground, and, for one yuan, tourists could shoot at them with either a .22-calibre rifle or a bow and arrow. For three yuan, they could take a potshot at a rabbit that was also tied to the ground. . . When it rained, I sat in my hotel room eating cookies and watching North Korean television. North Korean television had everything that fascinated me about Chinese television, but more of it. There were more military variety shows, more patriotic bands, more heroic leaders. The songs were more cloying. The smiles were bigger. The uniforms were more uniform. There were more programs of singing and dancing children wearing heavy makeup. . . On my last afternoon in Dandong, the river was full of Chinese wedding boats. …All of them followed the same route—a scoot out to the ruined bridge; a pause for photographs; a slow cruise along the banks of North Korea. . .. Writer describes the wizened mien of a North Korean child beggar. . . View Article Peter Hessler joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 2000.

Anonymous said: Hey girl! I've kinda been recently considering maybe hopefully going to med school? I've heard numerous times that by going to med school you're basically giving up your twenties...how do you feel about that? I understand ofc that there are sacrifices students make in order to do well but do you ever feel like you're missing out on life experiences because of med school? This has been bothering me a lot of late and i dont know who else to ask! Thanks :)
I do feel like that a little bit.
I mean—I'm 23 right now—I'll turn 24 later this year. When I graduate with my degree I'll be 25. By the time I finish residency I'll be right around 30. So yes. There's a whole decade of my life almost! (If not longer if I do a fellowship!).
You spend a lot of your 20s doing things that people aren't doing in their 20s and because of that you don't do the "normal stuff" some people do.
You study most nights instead of going out.
When you're not studying your working at the hospital or sleeping (or taking brain vacations to occasionally see friends or family).
You're elbow deep in your second year when you have friends finally considering what their careers should be or deciding to quit one job to just kind of wander around the country for a year.
You'll probably never fit in a weekly girl's night and your three spin classes and two date nights, and reading all 100 books on this year's NYT best seller list.
You wait to get married because you're not meeting people—you're busy getting through third year.
You wait to have kids because you're probably smack in the middle of residency (and maybe you haven't even found a partner yet).
You're waking up exhausted—not because you were at a party the night before until 4 am… but because you didn't leave your shift at the hospital until 4 am.
Your wardrobe is full of scrubs instead of sundresses. You have piles of sensible hospital shoes and the last time you wore the pair of too small spike heels was… well you can't even remember. You lose the capacity to talk about things that aren't medicine. You try to go to a party and meet new people and you find yourself telling a story about the last time someone bled/vomited/pissed on you and those people are walking away….
Instead of PDA standing for public display of affection… it stands for posterior descending artery. NPH is not the initials of the best actor on How I Met Your Mother—it means normal pressure hydrocephalus.
You give up sleep, free time, catching up on the latest HBO show. Medicine will take time from your family, your friendships, your ability to date.
I wouldn't do anything else.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't trade leaving the hospital at midnight after I stood and spoke Spanish with the parents of a child in respiratory distress until the translator came and told them it was going to be okay. I wouldn't trade that for leaving a bar at midnight on that same night.
I wouldn't trade my failed attempts at dating. I'm okay that all of those attempts have failed because the right person understands why I do what I do and will get why I can't do a date night every night. Why I might not be able to stay at your house party or see you every night. The right person will love that I love what I do so much. I wouldn't trade what I do for a more successful dating life.
I wouldn't trade this life where I spent the last 8 weeks of my life studying for one test. Because come May I'm going to be in clinic.
People will yell at me—patients, doctors, nurses, family members. I will get yelled at, bled on, cussed at, cat called by drunks in the ER, or vomited on. That's just my average day.
I'll come home and instead of going to sleep stay up another couple hours to learn one more thing about a Whipple procedure or pulmonary hypertension. I'll wake up early and stay late.
But I have amazing friends who are fighting right next to me in the trenches and sometimes we all laugh over a bottle of wine and our silly lives. I have amazing people who love me—who give me the slack when I need it—and don't blame me when I show up late or leave early. I have an awesome family that helps me out when I need it.
And I still find the time to take care of me. I do the things i love—I read, I go for a run, I hit a yoga class, I cook (oh god do I cook!), I write, I write on this blog!!
I'm not worried about the other pieces falling into places. I know that I will get the other things I want in my life and I'm not afraid of medicine taking that away from me.
So sure… choosing medicine is a little like "giving up your twenties"… but for me… it's giving up the parts I didn't want anyway and is instead giving me one giant 10 year adventure.
And that adventure has a lot of hard days… maybe more hard days than easy ones. It has days you come home and cry. But is there any other job in the world where someone might hug you because you tell them their son is going to make it through the night? Any other job where you are the first pair of hands that touches a baby the second it hits the atmosphere? Any other place you might cry with someone, laugh with someone, change someone's life, and place your hand inside someone's chest cavity all on the same day?
So some people say that med school is like "giving up your twenties"… maybe it's more of a trade though.
You give up the things "everyone else" seems to be doing…and in return you get (what is in my opinion) possibly the most amazing adventure ever.

As more enterprises migrate applications to the cloud, they seek to take advantage of the frameworks, middleware, and other software tools already in their data centers, as well as the different clouds available. Today WSO2 unveiled its answer to this growing demand with the beta release of WSO2 Stratos 2.0. Newly re-architected, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is the industry's first foundation for implementing a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that combines support for heterogeneous applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform runtimes with native, secure multi-tenancy. WSO2 Stratos 2.0 also adds the capability to run on any cloud infrastructure, including VMware, Eucalyptus, Amazon and OpenStack.
WSO2 previewed the latest release of WSO2 Stratos at WSO2Con 2013, which runs February 13-14 in London. The company also announced that it has begun accepting customers for the WSO2 Stratos 2.0 beta program.
"Increasingly enterprises view the cloud as a platform for innovation. However, until now they've had to make trade-offs between using their favorite development tools and middleware or capitalizing on the multi-tenancy of a native cloud environment. With WSO2 Stratos 2.0, these organizations no longer have to compromise," said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO.
Expanding the Scope of Multi-tenancy
The Stratos 2.0 approach to multi-tenancy goes beyond other PaaS environments to support multiple levels of virtualization—from standard virtual machines, via Linux Containers to intra-JVM isolation. This choice of sharing resources while providing the correct isolation level for multiple tenants is a significant factor in enabling lower costs, greater flexibility, and easier on-ramping into a private or public cloud environment.
The new tenant-aware elastic load balancer in Stratos 2.0 is a first-of-a-kind capability that allows the environment to provide highly tunable performance to different tenants, ranging from "economy class" for low priority workloads up to "private jet" mode for workloads that require dedicated resources.
Plugging in Multi-tenant Cloud Capabilities
At the heart of Version 2.0 is a new cartridge architecture for plugging software into WSO2 Stratos to take advantage of cloud-native capabilities, such as multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, self-service provisioning, metering, billing, and resource pooling, among others. As a result, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is able to run, not only 13 WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware products, but also a choice of frameworks, databases, and other application services.
WSO2 Stratos 2.0 also significantly enhances PaaS deployment through an integration layer that uses the popular jclouds technology to allow it to run on any infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) including OpenStack, VMware, Eucalyptus and CloudStack. Additionally, use of the Puppet open source tool for infrastructure deployment in this release makes it easier than ever to install and configure Stratos in a private or public cloud environment. Like all WSO2 software, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is 100% open source and will be made available under the Apache License 2.0.
WSO2 Stratos 2.0 Beta Program Now Open
Ideal candidates for the WSO2 Stratos 2.0 beta program are enterprise IT professionals who are planning or evaluating ways to deliver new applications and/or migrate existing ones to the cloud. Participants also must be committed to participating and giving feedback. For more information and to contact WSO2 about joining the beta program, please visit the product Web page: http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos.

Mike Huckabee News
Lie of the Year
Mar 17 2014
Mike Huckabee
There's been so much focus on the lie of the year, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" and "If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance, that we really haven't focused so much on another one of the tall tales of Obamacare…the one the President also repeatedly promised, "It's going to reduce your cost by $2500 per family."
Where did he get these promises? Is it his equivalent of a rabbit yanked out of a magician's hat? Big difference in that a magic show is entertaining and really doesn't make much difference in the way a person lives, but our health, our health insurance, our doctors, and our very lives aren't a magic show played for laughs. No one was laughing this week when Kathleen Sebellius decided to try a little honesty for a change in testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee…she admitted for the first time that the President was selling suds with that big promise of health insurance costing less. She came clean and acknowledged that the cost is actually going up. Is she just now realizing what everyone else in America knew? So let's review: Obama promised that we could keep our doctor, keep our insurance, and it would cost less. Facts are, we can't keep our doctor, we don't get to keep our health insurance, and it's going to cost us a whole lot more. And it was also admitted that only 4.2 million Americans have actually signed up for Obamacare through the exchanges—though the minimum number that was supposed to sign up by now to make it work was 7 million. But the real kicker is that of the 4.2 million, almost 75% of those HAD insurance already, but lost their coverage because of Obamacare---meaning that the entire purpose for putting the country through the political and fiscal hell of passing Obamacare will result in mostly people losing coverage they could afford and liked to get a policy they can't afford and which severs their relationship with their doctor. Brilliant stuff! HHS officials also said they could tout the number of the 4.2 million that signed up, but didn't have any way of knowing how many actually paid. Can you imagine someone in the private sector spending billions of dollars to create, launch and market a product and then have to say to the boss, "well we really don't know how many we actually sold and don't have any idea if any one actually paid for it." People get fired in the real world for much less than that. But maybe it's starting to dawn on Americans that they've been sold dog doo disguised as a brownie because this week in a special election in Florida for the 13th Congressional district, Democrat Alex Sink was sunk when the Democrats road tested a campaign theme of defending OBamacare. It was a road to nowhere. She got less than 47% of the vote despite have far more money and having far greater name ID. Let's hope the Democrats continue to run on their defense of the disastrous big government grab called Obamacare. I'm getting more confident by the day that come November, Harry Reid will finally have to move to the back of the room and in the words of John Lennon, "Give Peace a Chance."

History channel Two the History of Scientology.
This was shown on the history channel and GRETA was shown as one of their high end members !
History made no comments except the history going religious or cult seemed to be their only question. This is a bit alarming seeing how far they have delved into peoples lives.
This is not good for FOX or her . If it is a true religion that is her choice , but they changed when they stopped making headway and collecting big fees.
Get a copy and watch it !

You would make a fine president if you were sure you could be elected.
Your power, and audience you reach could very well do more to influence an election than to win an election.
There are several young warriors who need the coaching of a Mike Huckabee to be a winner.
Wisdom is now what is needed
in an all out war for the Congress and White house.
You and John McCain could show what happened and why in previous attempts .
To give up the position you have could be detrimental to your health . The Presidency has had a very negative effect on the heath of the past four Presidents.
Advise , get air time ,and one on one to win for the GOP.
Your family matters in such a decision . Work smart , not to your demise.
My wife use to watch your show every week. She ( Judy ) is in the last part of her life. Cancer has taken its` toll after three head operations. It all metastasized from breast cancer. Seven months ago they sent her home to conclude her life. They said three months. It has been seven.
We care for her at home with a caregiver rather then a facility. It costs about the same , but people should be aware it is about five thousand dollars a month. This is where personal health saving accounts would be heaven sent.
Best to you and family , I know you will make an informed decision.

Michele Marie Bachmann (née Amble; April 6, 1956) is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Minnesota's 6th congressional district, a post she has held since 2007. The district includes several of the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, such as Woodbury, and Blaine as well as Stillwater and St. Cloud.
She is currently a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. She previously served in the Minnesota State Senate and is the first Republican woman to represent the state in Congress. Bachmann is a supporter of the Tea Party movement and a founder of the House Tea Party Caucus.
Michele Marie Amble was born in Waterloo, Iowa "into a family of Norwegian Lutheran Democrats"; her family moved from Iowa to Minnesota when she was 13 years old. After her parents divorced, Bachmann's father, David John Amble, moved to California, and Bachmann was raised by her mother, Jean (née Johnson), who worked at the First National Bank in Anoka, Minnesota. Her mother remarried when Bachmann was a teenager; the new marriage resulted in a family with nine children.

This site is so helpful for pantry clean-up week: http://stilltasty.com/
Wow, that "how long can you keep opened condiments" list was scary... Most of the jars in my fridge have been there WAY longer. Yikes. Good thing I haven't started my Cure yet, I think my fridge cleanout will be more thorough than I realized...
What has worked for me is to have made the habit to throw away what has expired, gone bad and clean the fridge out before I go to the store for groceries... It has helped because It helps me create my shopping list and realize what I need to buy and not waste money buying something I may already have.
Hope this can help others find a way to keep the fridge clean
Yikes! I use a small jar of mayo over the course of a year, not 2 months. I can't buy anything smaller than what I already buy. My pickles are past their prime, too, according to those guidelines.

Google Refine is an elegant tool for data cleaning. One of its most powerful features is the ability to call "Reconciliation Services" to help clean data, for example by matching names to external identifiers. Google Refine comes with the ability to use Freebase reconciliation services, but you can also add external services. Inspired by this I've started to implement services to reconcile taxonomic names.
A timely and comprehensive article by Rod Page. Read more on iPhylo. Thanks Rod!

The 12-15 Memphis Grizzlies took a trip to Texas tonight to take on the 19-11 Houston Rockets in a Western Conference showdown. The Grizzlies are looking to get back on track early on in the season here, in hopes of making a return trip to the postseason, like they did last season.
It's been a tightly play contest throughout the evening tonight, with both teams exchanging the lead with some good plays.
Like this one from reserve forward James Johnson.
On this play in the second half, Johnson was fed the ball near the low post, where he immediately turned around and had a clear path to the hoop past Jeremy Lin for the easy slam:
It's been plays like this that's the reason these two have gone back and forth with one another through the entire evening.
A win on the road against the Rockets tonight would be a huge momentum jump for this team as they search to get their record back to .500.

As soon as you save the number or add emojis to their name, they start to act up
"And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up"

Anderson fucking Cooper, everyone.
Some journalists like to be strictly observers. they don't intervene, they don't participate. they just document what they see, even if what they see is terrible. But the way I see it, journalists don't exist in a vacuum. They are human beings, living and working in a very human environment. And that humanity is essential in relating to their stories. When you lose your humanity, you lose any kind of journalistic integrity you have left.

Wi-Fi File Sharing Works, but Its Face is Glum
Developer: Mark Lee
Price: $4.99 Download on the App Store
Count Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0 from Impact Financials, among the now dozen or so apps to reside on the App Store's shelves. Like many of those apps., Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0, transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless hard drive, which can then be accessed over the same Wi-Fi network using a Web browser so that you can transfer files between your PC or Mac. If you desire, you can protect the shared drive with a password. Enter the address of your device and Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0 will give you a URL to use on the Open File screen, accessible by tapping the icon in the upper right corner.
You're able to view PDF, JPEG, DOC and all the other file formats Apple allows. You can create folders for them, delete them and so on and you also can slide switches for Wi-Fi HD options, startup options, iPhone HD and a few other options.
So far, there's nothing to make Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0 stand out that I can see. Many file transferring apps do the same thing at least as well or better. And unlike Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0, which costs $5.99, they're cheaper. The hugely popular Air Sharing, from Avatron Software, costs $4.99. It supports Linux in addition to Mac and Pc.
One thing Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0 does that I haven't seen before is file compression. That may not be unique to this app—I just can't think of any others off the top of my head.
I think the user interface of Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0 could be polished more. When you tap the icon for email from a doc, it pops up a menu for Open, Save As and Close All. If you tap "Open" you arrive at a screen named "Open File" that displays a list of folders and the option to switch from iPhone as hard drive to Wi-FI as hard drive. Tapping one of the arrows to the right of the iPhone HD/Wi-Fi HD buttons will open an on/off switch for one of them. Tapping the Wi-Fi HD button, pops up a screen where you can enter a user name and password.
I found a few other UI issues with Wi-Fi File Sharing 2.0's interface, but the point is made. The app could be more intuitive, suffiice say. There is a pretty good tutorial online. To get to it you tap the Star icon in the lower right corner, go to the Options screen and tap "User Guide" in the upper right corner.

For centuries, trucks have come to mean one thing-utilitarian work vehicles. Since our trucks need to do the work we ask of them, sometimes subtle upgrades are in order. While some guys may feel the need to get into a camshaft or cylinder head change, there are others that just want to add a small amount of improvements in the form of bolt-on pieces. This is a quick and easy job. the returns are limited, but that doesn't mean they are not worthwhile.
The GameplanWe had an afternoon with nothing to do, so we wanted to see how much horsepower we could bolt on to our '98 Ram 1500 with a 5.2-liter engine. Let's face it, the 318 Magnum in the Ram was not meant to be a powerhouse, but could it benefit from a couple performance mods? Even without the mods, we would be willing to put it up against any unmodified Ford or Chevy that is comparable in the cubic-inch department. This little 80,000-mile pickup can still hold its own with a car trailer on the back. But like any good gearhead, we can't keep our dang fingers off anything. So we got to thinking, If we get the engine to breathe better, that's gotta be a good thing, right? What about one of them hand-held programmers? The next question was who to call. For the exhaust, we decided to contact JBA Headers. While looking at their web site, we were pleasantly surprised to find they sell an almost complete exhaust system. We say almost because their exhaust systems consist of headers and everything from the catalytic converter back. (That statement will come into play later.) Not only do they have exhaust products, they also have power cables. Power cables are spark plug wires that feature 8 or 9mm diameters, low-resistance, and 100-percent silicone jackets.
With the exhaust situation handled, we had to figure out how to better get the air into the engine. Sure, the stock air filtration design is fine for an OE application, but we aren't OE. Airaid is a company that has been designing air intake systems for quite a while. Another piece of hardware available from Airaid is the PowerAid throttle body spacer. The PowerAid throttle body spacer is designed to improve the low-end torque and horsepower characteristics of your engine. This is accomplished by spacing the throttle body 1 inch from the intake and adding dyno-proven, Helix-style bores. As the air passes through the spacer, the bores create a vortex action that improves atomization, creating a more complete combustion and an efficiently burning engine.
Finally, we decided that Ma Mopar's factory initialized computer program was hiding a lot of potential. Superchips has a hand-held computer reprogrammer that enables the user to plug into the computer of their car or truck and reset some of the parameters of the stock computer. The TriTune Max Microtuner plugs into your OBDII port under the dash, retrieves the factory setting-in case you want to return it back to the truck later-and then uploads the requested programs you identify. Would these simple upgrades be worth the time to install or would we be wasting our time?
The Truth Be ToldWe could have made this easy and simply bolted everything on, gone to the dyno and said, "lookey what we gained," but we wanted to know what each component was worth.

In my student-days, for example, I found the university philosophers very ordinary men indeed, who had collected together a few conclusions from the other sciences, and in their leisure hours read the newspapers and went to concerts; they were treated by their academic colleagues with politely veiled contempt. They had the reputation of knowing very little, but of never being at a loss for obscure expressions to conceal their ignorance. They had a preference for those obscure regions where a man could not walk long with clear vision. One said of the natural sciences, "Not one of them can fully explain to me the origin of matter; then what do I care about them all?"— Another said of history, "It tells nothing new to the man with ideas": in fact, they always found reasons for its being more philosophical to know nothing than to learn anything. If they let themselves be drawn to learn, a secret instinct made them fly from the actual sciences and found a dim kingdom amid their gaps and uncertainties.
—Friedrich Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations
Once we accept pragmatic truth, we realize that since both reality
and our drives are constantly changing, our beliefs and conceptual schemes need to be in flux as well in order to keep our health or power on the rise. Ironically, this move is based on a correspondence claim about the true nature of reality. The move from correspondence to pragmatic truth is made on pragmatic grounds—correspondence truth is rejected because it's useless—and then the pragmatic move to Pluralism is made on correspondence grounds—the fact is that the world out there is actually chaos which therefore is constantly throwing new challenges at us, requiring an epistemological flexibility in order to prosper.
Lee Braver - A thing of this world
I am always happy when someone points out that a rejection of identity thinking isn't the kind of radical subversion of correspondence theories of truth that it claims to be, or a 'post-metaphysical' alternative to traditional western philosophy. As I joked about before, it's more of a substitution of one view of the nature of the cosmos for another.
He sank more and more into apathy; little interested him apart from dolls and other children's toys. He still spoke occasionally, but
mainly to produce stock sentences in the style of a brainwashed schoolboy. Franziska made a record of some of them: 'I translated much'. 'I lived in a good place called Naumburg'. 'I swam in the Saale'. 'I was very fine because I lived in a fine house'. 'I love Bismarck'. 'I don't like Friedrich Nietzsche'. It would be a mercy to think that he experienced at least a kind of vegetative contentment, but this seems not to have been the case. He suffered from his life-long curse of insomnia, and visitors downstairs were often disturbed by groans and howls coming fromthe upstairs bedroom. Towards the end of Franziska recorded him uttering 'More light!' (Goethe's dying words) and 'In short, dead!' suggesting that that is what he wanted to be.

Huang Jianxiang (simplified Chinese: 黄健翔; traditional Chinese: 黃健翔; pinyin: Huáng Jiànxiáng; born January 20, 1968) is a Chinese sports commentator. He is one of the best-known sports commentators in China, formerly of the state-run network China Central Television (CCTV). He was fairly well received in his commentating of football, particularly at the FIFA World Cup and the German Bundesliga, although he also commentated during various multi-sport events such as the Olympic Games and the Asian Games. He received international attention during a World Cup commentary incident on June 26, 2006 when he commentated on the match between Australia and Italy, where he yelled passionately for several minutes. Having already received widespread media attention in China for his alleged affair with SuperGirl Zhang Liangying and a widely publicized divorce case with his ex-wife, Huang's notorious commentary became extremely controversial, and propelled him to become the subject of hordes of criticism in print media and on the internet. He resigned from CCTV on November 2006 and joined Hong Kong's Phoenix TV.

Epic rap on how to make a cup of tea
Hello this is my kettle that came from Walmart.
I actually have an electric teakettle which is, I'm told, what the vast majority of British households have in place of a coffee percolator.
It was a pain in the ass to find and kind of expensive. Worth it, though, cuz I can make tea, instant oatmeal, instant coffee if I'm feeling like Starbucks Via (I have a bunch of it for reasons I'd rather not get into), ramen and cup noodles, and a variety of things with that teakettle.
But yeah most American households do not have an electric teakettle, and a lot of them don't even have stovetop ones. Sorry, brits.
That really does baffle me a lot, because the electric kettle spread to the colonies as well. It'd be the height of bad manners not to 'put the jug on' and offer a hot drink to visitors over here. Electric jugs/kettles are the norm and they're SUPER fucking convenient.
Need to boil water quickly for a recipe? Turn on the jug.
Cup of tea required almost immediately? Turn on the jug.
Instant coffee? Turn on the jug.
Cup noodles? Jug.
I would die without my janky as fuck old electric jug.
In America almost no one drinks hot tea as like a comfort food. When company comes over you offer them a Coke or some water or coffee.
I think that's where the difference lay.
I drink a lot of tea so I have an electric kettle. When I found out that they exist - that's right, most Americans LITERALLY DO NOT REALIZE ELECTRIC KETTLES ARE A THING - I immediately set out to find one. They're kind of a niche product in most places, although I think they're more common in large port cities.
I've had, "ELECTRIC KETTLE," on my birthday wish list for years now, and my family just doesn't see the point on hot tea.
On top of being American, we're also Southern, which means that everyone here thinks tea should be served cold with sugar and lemon.
Now, I like my iced tea (no lemon, thanks) but hot tea is my thing. I'd prefer to have a cup of hot tea in the morning instead of a cup of coffee.
An electric kettle would be ideal, because my stove top kettle is a pain in the ass. But at least I have a kettle.
My boss keeps a kettle at work, too.
I got my kettle for $12 at walmart and it was the last one in stock and the last one they ever had in stock.
I wanted it so badly and didn't have the cash and then I put a dollar in a machine and hit four aces betting three nickels and suddenly I had $20 and I ran to go buy it before someone else did.
I was meant to have that kettle. Do not rely on other people for kettle. Get kettle on your own.
I'm looking at them on walmart and target's websites. They keep throwing the damn Hamilton Beach ice tea maker in the list and I'm just yelling, "THAT IS NOT THE THING I WANT"
For many years I couldn't find a kettle that wasn't electric here, but I got my first stove top whistling kettle a few years ago and it just gets the water so much hotter than the electric jugs! Much better for my black tea ^_^ also they look adorable.

Madonna For Dolce & Gabbana: Middle-Aged Hotness!by Free Britney at . Comments
Madonna is 52. We repeat. Fifty. Two.
These new Dolce & Gabbana ads prove that the Material Girl is still as hot as ever, though, writhing around on all fours while wearing nothing but black lingerie, a bejeweled crucifix, cleavage-baring dress and black silk pajamas.
Here's the fashion icon and sex symbol at the half century mark ...
The burning question: Would you ... y'know?
Go Wendy! I don't hear anyone ripping on George Clooney for his " sex symbol" status at 49.
And let's talk about all the " young hotties" who have no business ( or the bodies) to be wearing what they wear. Just cuz ur young don't mean u got the goods. When y'all look HALF that good or dance HALF that well, then we'll talk.
Yea she should act 52! Just cuz you have titts that are not hanging on the floor doens't mean you should show the whole world and you can be covered up and still look sexy! This is not!! This just looks like a poor attempt to be sexy and to turn back the clock to the materiel girl days!! Sorry girfriend, time did not stop for you!! Deal with it and move on and stop wearing this shit!
She IS 52 BUT, she's also photoshopped and has had work done on her face. She should look good for her age. If these pictures were all natural with no photoshop and no plastic surgery, ie. the REAL Madonna THEN I'd be amazed. I also agree with others, act your age woman!!
Obviously you haven't seen the unphotoshopped versions of these photos that are going around. She is a bony, saggy boobed and veiny armed mess before some heavy airbrushing. Seriously, she looks nothing like these pictures.
Act your age? WTF? She can do whatever she wants. It's not like she dresses like this to go to church, it's for an advertisement and she's a pop icon. And what, are only women in their 20s supposed to be sexual? How stupid. Stop being an ageist and sexist. Grow up.
Yah, exactly.. she's 52! Honestly, there's no doubt about it that Madonna looks DAMN good for her age, but seriously? Time to act your age. I'm not saying that she needs to wear knitted sweaters and baggy pants, but honestly? Acting provacative like she's still in her 20s, get real. Grow up.

Birth control and the economy (they get along famously)
Wow. We probably don't need to tell you that birth control has been in the news a lot lately. And though unfortunately we can't say the attention has been all positive, we've actually seen a whole lot of good publicity coming out of the discussion overall. The latest theme we've noticed is media attention to birth control and the economy—and let's just say birth control comes out looking pretty fantastic (no make-up required). A few favorite points in birth control's favor:
Women benefit. The New York Times published a piece yesterday (which The Washington Post riffed off of) on how the pill has affected women's ability to contribute to the economy. A teaser:
A study by Martha J. Bailey, Brad Hershbein and Amalia R. Miller helps assign a dollar value to those tectonic shifts. For instance, they show that young women who won access to the pill in the 1960s ended up earning an 8 percent premium on their hourly wages by age 50.
Such trends have helped narrow the earnings gap between men and women. Indeed, the paper suggests that the pill accounted for 30 percent – 30 percent! – of the convergence of men's and women's earnings from 1990 to 2000.
Taxpayers benefit.On Sunday, The Times published a piece on "Pregnancy Prevention and the Taxpayer." The article highlighted a recent study that found that there are a few things the government can pay for that will save taxpayers many, many dollars over the long haul. According to the study, "[t]he biggest savings would come from increasing the amount of subsidized birth control available to poor women. At a cost of $235 million a year, such programs could save $1.32 billion annually." Sounds like a good deal to us…
Consumers benefit (from more information about their birth control options). Okay, maybe that heading's a stretch, but we wanted to include an article from U.S. News Money on "The Real Cost of Birth Control," which sought to be "a guide for people who want to consider the health of their bank account when making their birth control decision." We love that they wanted to make the cost of different methods easier to understand, though it doesn't look like they fully accounted for health insurance coverage (or health reform, which will eliminate co-pays on birth control, or other programs to make birth control cheaper or even free…) They also seem to have used slightly outdated effectiveness numbers for the different methods.
Must also note that their conclusion that the diaphragm is the most cost-effective method rings a bit hollow considering that with normal use of it, 12 in 100 women will get pregnant within a year of relying on it—U.S. News quotes that proportion as 15 in 100, which would be even more of a reason not to recommend it for folks who are watching their finances. As the article itself notes, an accidental pregnancy can be harder on a bank account than any method on the market. No offense to the diaphragm intended, but considering that the IUD, for example, is often quite affordable with insurance and also incredibly effective (same story for the implant, which didn't even get a mention, as well as sterilization), we definitely would've picked a different winner.
Insurance providers and their customers benefit. And last but not least, way back in February, TIME published an excellent explanation of "Why Free Birth Control Will Not Hike the Cost of Your Insurance," complete with illustrative anecdotes:
Think of it this way: If my married daughter lays out a $15 co-pay for birth control pills, she doesn't save a dime. True, she protects herself against the emotional cost of an unwanted pregnancy, along with the hefty costs of raising a child. But in terms of the costs to give birth to the child, she is not much better off, because if she does become pregnant, her insurer, like many, would pay the bills above and beyond the co-pay.
By contrast, if an insurer makes birth control totally free for all of its customers, it avoids having to reimburse them for countless unplanned pregnancies and births. Overall, then, it's cheaper for the insurer to pay a little upfront to save a ton down the line.
Our willingness to own our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage, the clarity of our purpose and the fullness of our life.
Great news about health insurance coverage of birth control!
Happy Friday to us (and to all of you who are into making birth control more accessible and affordable). The Obama Administration has decided to require most insurance plans to cover birth control without co-pays or deductibles under health reform. Thought this was already a done deal? Yes and no. It was in the works, but up till today there was some question of what type of employer might be exempt. This decision means that only those employers whose primary purpose relates to religious values and who serve and employ people who share those values—like churches—are exempt.
If you want to read more details, this Washington Post article has a nice, simple explanation, or you can read the statement from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

The Art of Science

(U of AK/U of AZ/NOAO via Wired Science) (…) The Pleiades are an open cluster easily visible to the naked eye. The cluster is dominated by several hot, luminous and massive stars. The blue nebulosity surrounding the brightest stars are due to blue light from the stars scattering off of dust grains in the interstellar gas between us and the stars. The cluster is also known as the 'Seven Sisters'. And in Japan it is called Subaru. The image was generated with observations in the B (blue), V (green), and I (red) filters. In this image, North is right, East is up.
