5 Reasons Why More Car Makers Need To Get It On
When two car manufacturers work one one project together, the results are often biblically epic
The old saying of 'two heads are better than one' is particularly relevant when it comes to motors. Some of the most iconic cars have been created when car companies get it on together to create something so epic, that it'll forever be remembered as one of the greats. Here are 5 of the highlights so far.
1. Mercedes and Porsche: Merc 500E
When these two German power-houses got together to brew up a car, they came up with one of the best sleeper 'Q' cars of all time. The 500E's outwardly very similar to the dependable W124 it's based on, but take a closer look, and you notice a few subtle differences. That slightly wider track, those flared arches, the lower stance, it all points towards the fact that this is no ordinary W124. Sure enough, there's a socking great 320bhp 5.0 V8 from the R129 SL stuffed under the bonnet. All this was hand-built by Porsche at its Rossle-Bau factory until the car was discontinued in 1994. Porsche then moved onto its next collaborative effort, the Audi RS2.
2. Audi and Porsche: Audi RS2
The stupendously fast Audi estate is something of petrolhead's idea of perfection. Using Audi's already brisk S2 Avant, the chaps from Stuttgart worked their magic on Audi's 2.2 turbocharged five-cylinder unit, upping the power to 311bhp. The suspension and brakes were beefed up, with the whole shabang finished off with a set of Porsche's 17-inch Cup rims. The results were pretty startling; 60mph flew by in a scant 4.8 seconds, while the top end was electronically limited at 162mph. With the added traction of four-wheel drive, the dash to 30mph was dispatched in a neck-snapping 1.5 seconds, faster than the McLaren F1 hypercar.
3. Lotus Carlton
This isn't the first time the Hethel firm was called upon to beef up an otherwise ordinary car; the Lotus Cortina is evidence of this. But it was the Vauxhall Carlton that Lotus really went to town on. Enlarging the already powerful 3.0-litre straight-six to 3.6 litres and strapping on a pair of Garrett T25 turbochargers, Lotus unleashed a massive 377bhp. Refusing to limit the car's top speed to 155mph - as German car makers were doing - the 176mph Lotus Carlton was the world's fastest production saloon. The thought of a four-door family car that could knock on the door of 180mph caused something of a public outrage at the time, with some even calling to ban the car. It never was banned, of course, and for that, we are thankful.
4. Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ
The result of Toyota and Subaru's recent joint-venture resulted in a true driver's car that proves you don't need massive power to have fun. The 197bhp 2.0-litre flat-four engine provides enough power for epic drifts, while the pairing's low centre of gravity, make them B-road weapons. Car makers of the modern world take note: we need more motors like this.
5. Aston Martin and AMG
OK, so it's still a little while before we'll see the results of this tie up, but - aside from the fact that we probably have to kiss the glorious Aston V12 farewell - AMG firepower under the bonnet of an Aston Martin can only be a good thing, right?
When collaborations go horribly wrong
Things don't always work out so well when two car makers get together. Alfa Romeo and Nissan's joint-venture of the 80s, for instance, may have sounded great on paper. Alfa styling with Japanese reliability? What could be better? Except the pair did it the wrong way round, marrying up the poor build quality and iffy electronics of the Milanese manufacturer with the boring as hell boxy body of the Nissan Cherry. As far as 'what the hell were they thinking' moments go, this one takes some beating.

sciurus0 writes "Mainstream technology journalist Walt Mossberg recently reviewed an Inspiron 1420N with Ubuntu installed by Dell. Citing problems such as an oversensitive touchpad and poor multimedia support, he suggests that 'from the point of view of an average user, someone who wouldn't want to enter text commands, hunt the Web for drivers and enabling software, or learn a whole new user interface' Ubuntu isn't a good choice compared to Windows or OS X."

NFLPA calls press conference to discuss player safety issues
Posted By Annie Maroon On February 1, 2013 @ 9:51 am In Uncategorized | No Comments
The NFL Players Association took advantage of having much of the football media in New Orleans Thursday, calling a press conference [1] to discuss its complaints about safety issues.
Executive director DeMaurice Smith and union president Domonique Foxworth held the conference. Smith said the NFLPA will file a grievance if the NFL refuses to implement a system to verify the credentials of all team medical personnel, and brought up amendments related to player safety that the players' union wants in the new CBA.
The union also wants the NFL to put independent neurological consultants on the sidelines during games to help diagnose and treat concussions. Earlier on Thursday, league general counsel Jeff Pash said the league expects to implement that plan next season, but Smith said the players union has not seen the proposal and details have not been confirmed.
The two sides also have yet to agree on the details of implementing blood tests for human growth hormone. Smith said the league has not agreed to using the type of independent arbitrator that Major League baseball [2] uses, though Pash said the league recently made a new proposal to the players that he thinks will lead to an agreement.
Smith called out the NFL for locking out its officials at the start of this year, saying the use of replacement refs was "one of the most deliberate disregards of player safety that I think has occurred in the National Football League [3] since our inception."

My research investigates the causes of ethnic conflict, political violence and individual participation in high-risk collective action, with an emphasis on field methods, survey design and implementation, and a regional focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. Explaining participation in violence often requires the researcher to collect data on highly sensitive topics in data-poor environments. My research agenda suggests that these need not be insurmountable obstacles, however, and that we should not shy away from asking difficult questions about participation in violence.
Book Project
My book project asks two questions about the causes of ethnic violence in diverse societies. First, who are the people who take to the streets and commit acts of violence during the chaotic chains of events we know as ethnic riots? Second, why does this set of people ultimately decide to riot? Most contemporary studies of ethnic conflict overlook these questions and focus instead on the conditions and incentives driving political elites to attempt to instigate violence. This literature struggles to explain why ordinary people choose to accept the risks and costs involved in carrying out violence on a local scale.
The empirical strategy used in this project draws on qualitative and quantitative evidence to help isolate the reasons why people participated in two large-scale violent Christian-Muslim riots that took place in northern Nigeria since 2000. Working with a team of outstanding Nigerian research assistants over the course of six months in the field, I conducted about 40 in-depth interviews with riot organizers and participants and implemented an original survey of over 800 individuals who chose to (or chose not to) participate in riots in the cities of Kaduna and Jos. The survey contains direct measures of past participation in violent events, makes use of new methods to protect respondent anonymity, and relies on a novel sampling strategy in order to locate rioters and elicit honest responses from them.
This micro-level data is used to test an original argument about the joint influence of poverty and individual centrality in local social networks to explain why some individuals take to the streets during times of crisis, and others stay on the sidelines. My book project argues that, given poverty, important opportunities for violence arise from day-to-day interactions during participation in neighborhood-level social networks.

"What the Numbers Say: A Digit-Based Test for Election Fraud" (with Bernd Beber), 2012, Political Analysis 20:2, 235-247.
We make use of psychological biases to detect election fraud by analyzing digit patterns on return sheets: People favor small numbers and avoid repetition when manipulating numbers. The project was linked on Freakonomics, by way of Chris Blattman's blog.
Click here to see an op-ed using the same methodology, "The Devil is in the Digits," (co-authored with Bernd Beber) about election fraud in Iran. The article appeared in the online version of the Washington Post on June 20, 2009. An annotated version of the article, containing more detailed information about methods used, is available here. You can download the analysis code and the data we used from the presidential election in Iran.
"The Curse of Oil? Natural Resources, Ethnic Diversity and Nigerian Political Development", 2012, Country Studies in Comparative Politics, David Samuels, editor, Pearson & Longman Co. (Publication date: February 18, 2012)
"Who Supports Partition? Violence and Political Attitudes in a Dividing Sudan" (with Bernd Beber and Philip Roessler), revise and resubmit, Journal of Politics.
This paper explores variation in the support for the 2011 partition of Sudan using the first wave of an original panel survey of nearly 1400 respondents from greater Khartoum. We investigate the extent to which respondents' past exposure to violence shapes their political views. We highlight a spontaneous surge of intense rioting that struck large parts of Khartoum after the accidental death of Southern Sudanese leader John Garang in July 2005 as a reasonably exogenous source of relevant variation. We find that Northerners who experienced rioting by Southerners in Khartoum in 2005 are more likely to support secession of the South, even if they are concerned about the economic costs of partition, and to oppose citizenship for Southerners remaining in the North. Considered together, these results suggest that experiences of intergroup violence harden attitudes toward out-group members, allow personal security concerns to overcome economic considerations, and make those exposed less willing to live together within a multiethnic state.
"A Snowball's Chance in Nigeria: Finding Rioters using Respondent-Driven Sampling." I tackle the problem of how to correctly analyze a snowball sample with two general characteristics: (1) the number of randomly sampled seeds is high and each referral chain is short, and (2) respondents cannot be recruited only from the target population. The solution I propose is to collect a random sample alongside the snowball sample, and use the random sample to construct a set of weights to correct for possible biases in the snowball sample.

Swapped out the oil pan for a new one and put in a windage tray, followed by an oil change (duh).
Quick question... why does Volkswagen hate the people who work on thier cars? Those two bolts nearest the tranny were a nightmare. At first I thought takin' 'em off was the hard part... I cross threaded twice before gettin' 'er to go. I got them almost to 15 ft/lbs before they started to round off. I hope that's tight enough. I'm gonna hate myself the next time I need to pull 'em off...
By the way I used a 1/4' socket with u adapter and 1/4 to 3/8 adapter but the socket was just a bit too long to fit in there. An all in one u socket or shorter bits would have been better. Next time I'll have allen bolts on hand to replace.
I know it's an 87, but it's MY 87.
'95 Jetta 2.0: R.I.P. || '92 GTI: || 2000 GTI 1.8T: R.I.P.
rescued her from my wife...who tried to drown it on a flooded road in downtown PHX at 5am...sucked water up the intake and somehow managed to soak the ECM...not sure which one hates the other more...lol
Finished 10.1 vented front rotor swap. Got some brand new brembo rotors, calipers, carriers, spindles, and lines.
Anyone know how to rebuild front struts? I have an H&R sport cup kit on my Jetta and the fronts are both leaking. The passenger side still has enough in it where it feels right but the drivers lost alot. Anyway to rebuild this or refill it somehow? I talked to H&R about ordering new front struts and they said they would get back to me that day which was about a week ago and nothing yet. It would be pretty hard to find just the front struts for sale so rebuilding them is my first option.
If anyone does have some for sale, i have cash and would love to buy them.
Is USRT still in business? I found their website, but they haven't replied to my email. I was also wondering if they had a shop I could actually visit. I thought they were in NJ, thanks...and I haven't worked on the GTI since I snapped a piston ring
My girlfriend and I may have broken up after three years, but then again, I have the MK2<3
Sold it lol
bought upper and lower radiator hoses for my early rabbit rad swap. unlike all the lazy people that just hacked up and spliced hoses today, i decided to do it the correct way with one hose, no splices
My girlfriend and I may have broken up after three years, but then again, I have the MK2<3
And thanks

On the Diesel I'm cutting apart and plastic-welding the intake air box to support a smooth, larger diameter intake tube. Using 3" high temp brake duct pulled directly to the fender. The piece I'm replacing used to choke down to 2" OD, around 1.75-1.8" ID, iirc. Now I'll have a 3" OD and a small trumpet of sorts (and a slightly tapered air box for pressure differentials.. Lol) to increase air velocity. Shouldn't slow down the air getting to the intake much as the engine "sucks" what it needs directly from the pass side fender. It's pretty slick from the factory actually, just improving a bit. I used an OBD-II VR6 air box for my donor pieces of plastic. JB weld on all the seams, and bailing wire fused into the panels where extra strength / rigidity may be needed.
95% done with a auto to 5 speed swap...

Got in a fight with my mk2 vr and lost....
After just replacing the water pump my after run coolant pump decided to take a dump on me
Trying to fix the AC, had to trace the ac compressor power line to the fire wall then to the relay box inside of the car. Removed it to see why the compressor wasn't getting any power, found out it didn't have the relay. I put everything back together now the car wont get any spark .

Here I thought you'd discovered a correct oem option. Silly me.
dont fake the funk
I replaced that hack job exhaust that was on it with 42dd cat delete and 2.5 TT... And found out the O2 sensor was broken- it is running so much better.
Ohh and the after run pump i thought was broken- well it was and the head to heater core hose split
Eff it- full silicone hoses are on order!!
Thirdhonk is growing- its pretty cool there are some REALLY fast cars on there!!
Once everything gets fixed on our cars we will need go meet at Little River for a mk2 VR showdown
I raced a Carrera 4S while riding my pedal bike earlier. Didn't have to have a horn OR hazard lights to know I blew his doors in.... While he was in the convenience store. He totally knew he was racing though.
Though I don't doubt the mk4 was 'racing'... Buncha bros..

I'm flying to the UK in about 4 weeks for a much needed vacation, and this whole avian influenza thing has me freaked the hell out. I don't like that I'm even going to be in the same country as some scary bird disease. I just want to be able to get away for a few days and pretend like I'm living in the world of the oh-so-amazing British tv series Black Books and have some biscuits and tea and vegan skittles. Is that too much to ask?
Right, so back to the bird flu … for the latest peta2 Street Team mission, we're asking you to write letters to the editor of local publications about the true cause of bird flu (as well as mad cow and a long list of other horrible viruses), factory farming. This letter from the New Ulm Journal is a perfect example.

Cable TV, free local calls and wireless internet are also provided so you can bring your laptop with you if you still need to keep in touch with work or simply want to check theme park opening times.
Near the shops, takeaways and restaurants of Berry Town Center. For golf lovers a 5 minutes drive will take you to 2 golf courses including the newly completed Champions Gate, designed by Greg Norman and including the Leadbetter School of Golf. There are also an additional 20 courses found within a 20 mile radius.
You will be able to relax around our screened, pool and patio area, and should the Florida sunshine become too much, you can sit in the shade in our large covered lanai (patio area), or come back inside where all the rooms are air conditioned and keep at a cool and constant temperature. The private screened pool with spa, overlooks a conservation area and is not overlooked by the neighbours on any side, something which is very rare in Florida these days.
The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need with all bed linen, bath, hand towels, pool towels and face flannels provided. Plus as there is a large internal laundry room with washer and dryer you won't need to pack a lot of clothes.
Berry Town Center is 1 mile down the 27, with lots of takeaways, restaurants and a publix supermarket. Tuscan Hills is a secure gated community with extensive oak landscaping, located in Davenport on highway 27, close to highway 192, and only minutes from interstate 4.
The I4 gives you access to all the main travelling routes in central Florida, with Orlando International Airport and Sanford International Airport just 30 minutes and 55 minutes easy drive to our villa. The I4 west will take you to the white sandy beaches of Clearwater and St Petes within an hour and a half.
Even closer you have access to the 192 with it's route to Disney, Celebration and Kissimmee plus the US27 for access to Legoland.
On site facilities include a mediterranean style club house with gym, tennis court, children's tot lot and beach volley ball court. It is just a 10 minute drive to Walt Disney World with its 4 theme parks and a further 10 minutes to Universal Studios and its 2 theme parks and Sea World.
We had an absolutely amazing time! The villa was fantastic, exactly as described and in a perfect location. We would like to thank you once again for accommodating our early check in, it made such a difference to our travels.
We look forward to staying again at some point and will certainly recommend you to our friends.
We are regular Florida visitors and this is one of the best villas we have rented. Lovely condition, well maintained and in a great location just of US27.
We stayed for 2 weeks from the end of September and had a fantastic time. The directions to the villa are spot on and it was easy to find. The location is perfect really...just far enough away from the madness of the populated US192 but close enough to get to Disney and the other parks with ease.
Facilities are as described with everything that you could want to make you feel completely at home. The pool area is just the ticket at the end of the day but also first thing in the morning...sitting out watching the sunrise whilst others are getting ready was a standard activity every day!
There are plenty of supermarkets nearby to get supplies in and the fridge is more than big enough to hold whatever you care to put in it. This is the first time I've stayed at a villa in Florida, have previously used hotels and I have to say that the convenience of having a washing machine and dryer to hand can't be over-stated.
Don't hesitate, book to stay here and you won't regret it for a second.
We were utterly blown away with the beauty, cleanliness and space within the villa! There was everything you need for a relaxing holiday! The pool was just the right temperature and had loads of space for the kids. The bedrooms were very spacious. The villa was very clean and immediately gave off an amazing impression on arrival! The location was spot on with only a 15 min drive to Disney etc. All of the information left by Zoe was very clear and gave good recommendations for places to visit! Overall an amazing stay and we would definitely recommend to all!!! Already planning on a return in a few years!!
This villa is highly recommended.
It's a 60 minutes drive from Orlando international airport and the directions to the villa are spot on and easy to follow.
On arrival to the gated estate our first impressions of the villa were excellent - it's got the wow factor! The whole estate feels very safe and secure and is child friendly.
It's very spacious, modern and clean. It has four double bedrooms (2 master bedrooms with ensuites plus 2 with 2 twin beds), an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge, a family bathroom and downstairs toilet.
The villa has everything you need and there's an outdoor pool (plus jacuzzi pool), a games room in the garage and large flat screen TVs throughout with an xbox in the lounge. In addiction, there's a good supply of floats and water pistols which came in handy around the pool.
There's plenty of information supplied if you need any help finding a restaurant, buying theme park tickets etc.
The villa is in a perfect location within an easy drive to all the major theme parks (Disney World, Universal Studios and Seaworld) and approx 75 mins to Tampa bay and Kennedy Space Centre. All the theme parks are sign posted and easy to find.
There's also plenty of great restaurants as well as Walmart and Target superstores within a 20 min drive.
Overall, this villa was perfect for our stay in a perfect location. It's got a fantastic layout and can accommodate a large family easily. It's highly recommended but book early to avoid disappointment!
Lovely villa in a great location.
We had such a fantastic time staying at Villa JK it's difficult to know where to start.
On arrival after a very long journey (our first flight with an infant) it was a pleasure to walk into Villa JK. It was beautifully presented, like a hotel, with detailed information about the running of the place on hand and easy to access.
The facilities were excellent with all the little extras considered, like a high chair and even some toys for our little boy. Everywhere was immaculately clean and the place just felt vast as there were only 3 of us. Nice touches such as the visitors book and extra guide books with loads of recommendations for visits really helped to shape our holiday.
The pool's aspect is a real bonus. We'd heard it wasn't overlooked but didn't realise how beneficial this would be until we arrived and saw how the other houses on the estate were built so close together. It felt very private, with an unobstructed view. We had one problem with the pool's thermostat but once reported it was fixed almost immediately.
Location-wise it couldn't have been better, it's a little bit off the main drag which is nice, but access to all the highways isn't far away. There are loads of shopping facilities nearby and plenty of restaurants within reach.
We avoided the main theme parks as our boy was a bit too young to appreciate them, but we did go to Busch Gardens and Seaworld which we would thoroughly recommend. Other trips included NASA and Coco beach on the East coast (about 1.5 hours away), and the Boggy Creek boat rides were a hoot!
It really made a big impact having somewhere wonderful to stay - on days where we didn't feel like doing much we could lounge around at home in wonderful surroundings with the option of a dip in the pool or making a nice cuppa and just relaxing. The gated entry made the whole place feel really safe and communal.
Couldn't recommend this place enough, we are desperate to go back when our kids grow up - just have to save enough money again!
Close to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Shopping Malls, Discount Malls, Golf, restaurants and bars. An hours drive to Tampa (Busch Gardens) and Gulf Coast. An hours drive in the other direction will take you to the Space Coast and Kennedy Space Centre. Water parks galore including Disney parks and Wet N Wild. Close to Disney Downtown and Disney Wide World of Sports. Lots of access to natural florida as well, including air boats, lakes, national parks (Blue Springs), Gardens (Harry Leu and Bok Botanical). Ideally placed for Legoland just off the U27.
Golf: There are some spectacular courses, many designed by famous names like Greg Norman, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus - with numerous packages for golfers of all abilities. Walt Disney World has 4 high quality courses, Champions Gate has 2 Greg Norman designed courses. Legends Golf and Country Club on the 27 towards Clermont is in a really peaceful location. Orange Lake Country Club offers two 18 hole courses, a 9 hole course and a par 3 floodlit 9 - just 5 mins drive from the villa.

Oscar noms favor Brits and San Diegans
Adams found out she had won her third Oscar nomination when the phone rang. "This one is special in that I really played a role that was so different for me and it was nerve-racking and it's just so nice that it's being recognized and being recognized with the film."
For the second-straight year, the Oscars feature 10 best-picture contenders after organizers doubled the field from the usual five to open the awards up to a broader range of films. But even in a field of 10, the prize likely comes down to two films.
"The Social Network" casts Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who's depicted as an interpersonal lout in one-on-one relations but a genius for the masses, creating an online hangout where half a billion people now keep connected with friends.
"The King's Speech" stars Firth as Queen Elizabeth II's father, the stammering George VI, who reluctantly came to the throne after his brother abdicated in 1936, a terrible time for a stuttering monarch as British subjects looked to their ruler for inspiration via radio as World War II approached.
The two films represent a showdown between classy, traditional Oscar bait and edgy, youthful, up-to-the-minute drama.
With its aristocrats, statesmen and perilous times, "The King's Speech" is a throwback to the majestic, eye-filling costume pageants that dominated film awards in Hollywood's earlier decades. Bonham Carter was nominated as the king's devoted wife and Rush was nominated as his wily speech therapist.
"The Social Network" is an immediate story, set not in palaces but college dorm rooms, cluttered start-up space and anonymous legal offices where Zuckerberg battles former associates over the proceeds of his invention.
"I think that what resonated is that it's not a timely story. I think what resonated is that it is a timeless story, one with themes as old as storytelling itself: of friendship and loyalty, of betrayal, power, class, jealousy," said Aaron Sorkin, a nominee for adapted screenplay for "The Social Network."
"These are things that Aeschylus would have written about or Shakespeare would have written about. And it's just lucky for me that neither of those guys were available, so I got to write about it."
David Fincher is the best-directing favorite for "The Social Network" after winning that prize at the Globes.
Along with Firth and Eisenberg, best-actor contenders are Javier Bardem as a dying father in the Spanish-language drama "Biutiful," which also is up for best foreign-language film; Bridges as boozy lawman Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit," a role that earned John Wayne an Oscar for the 1969 adaptation of the Western novel; and James Franco in the real-life tale of a climber trapped in a crevasse after a boulder crushes his arm in "127 Hours."
Bening was nominated for best actress as a lesbian mom whose family is thrown into turmoil after her teenage children seek out their sperm-donor father in "The Kids Are All Right." Portman was nominated as a ballerina losing her grip on reality in "Black Swan."

Travel to Japan and you'll soon see that it's also home to outlandish game shows, bizarre vending machines, old school sake breweries, and a population of faultlessly considerate people. Oh… and there's a whole load of ancient temples, castles and shrines, too.
Join a Geckos tour to ride through the Japanese countryside at warp speed aboard a bullet train, visit sumo stables in Tokyo, see Geishas in Kyoto, sip sake in Takayama, and get amongst the legendary Osaka eating scene.
Travelling in Japan is guaranteed to produce more mind-blowing moments per minute than almost anywhere else in the world. From riding the ruthlessly efficient subway system to using musical public toilets, a trip to Japan is worth it for the shock value alone.
And the sushi. All of the sushi.
The internet's next hottest trend. Maybe. ... Read more on the blog

Prior to the season, Indian Creek football coach Mike Gillin had the word "Finish" printed on all practice T-shirts as a reminder to the Braves.
The Braves took the reminder to heart against Johnson County rival Greenwood on Saturday night as part of the Lucas Oil Stadium Showcase. And they couldn't have finished any better.
Senior kicker Dylan Walker's 31-yard field goal with no time left lifted the Class 3A Braves to a thrilling 15-14 victory against the Class 4A Woodmen.

Good printer, not exactly user friendly9/14/2011
My 1st color laser was a Brother MFC 9440. I never got sharp, bright prints and decided to purchase another printer. Price influenced my decision to buy this printer. After setting up and using, I got the crisper, brighter prints I wanted but came to appreciate how this printer is not as user friendly as the Brother printer I owned. There is a hard copy of the user's manual with the printer but some actions refer you to the on-line e-manual. My old printer wasn't this hard to use.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

I felt the baby moving for the first time when I was in bed last night!!
I'd forgotten just how amazing that first movement feels!!
It went on for about a minute, so I think the baby must have been doing flips lol!!
I had my second antenatal appointment on friday and everything is going well. The midwife my uterus and said its growing nicely and listened to the heartbeat which is good and strong :) Was so nice hearing it.
All the blood tests I have had done are clear which is good, and my sugar and iron levels are all normal :)
After hearing the heartbeat, I think it's a boy. LOL. Not sure why :) xx

The potential of hematopoietic growth factors for treatment of Alzheimer's disease: a mini-review

There are no effective interventions that significantly forestall or reverse neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. In the past decade, the generation of new neurons has been recognized to continue throughout adult life in the brain's neurogenic zones. A major challenge has been to find ways to harness the potential of the brain's own neural stem cells to repair or replace injured and dying neurons. The administration of hematopoietic growth factors or cytokines has been shown to promote brain repair by a number of mechanisms, including increased neurogenesis, anti-apoptosis and increased mobilization of bone marrow-derived microglia into brain. In this light, cytokine treatments may provide a new therapeutic approach for many brain disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. In addition, neuronal hematopoietic growth factor receptors provide novel targets for the discovery of peptide-mimetic drugs that can forestall or reverse the pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Rogers & Bell Partner for National Wireless Broadband Network
Toronto, ON & Montreal, QC, September 16, 2005: Rogers Communications and Bell Canada today announced an agreement to jointly build and manage a Canada-wide wireless broadband network, expected to initially reach more than two-thirds of Canadians in less than three years. The companies say they will pool their wireless broadband spectrum holdings into a joint venture, Inukshuk Internet Inc., which will build and operate the network.
"The promise of wireless broadband is here, and Bell and Rogers have the expertise, resources, and commitment to make it happen," said Bob Berner, Chief Technology Officer, Rogers Communications. "This is a powerful tool for Canadian businesses and consumers, both of whom will benefit from the substantially increased and accelerated competition the network will bring."
Inukshuk will be the network services provider to Rogers and Bell and their subsidiaries, and will operate on a cost recovery basis. The arrangement, says the firms, will allow the companies to minimize costs and maximize wireless broadband network coverage by pooling their spectrum holdings and leveraging both companies' existing wireless tower and network transport infrastructures.
The services will be portable, allowing subscribers to access the Internet and use a host of voice, video streaming, and data applications from wherever the service is available. Bell and Rogers will compete in the marketing and delivery of applications and services to end-customers over the network, ensuring healthy competition and consumer choice.
"This is an efficient, effective, and responsible approach to getting more high speed Internet services to more Canadians more quickly," added Stephen Wetmore, Group President National Markets, Bell Canada. "Wireless broadband offers exciting opportunities for the delivery of these services, particularly for many of those living in unserved and remote communities."
Inukshuk will be owned and controlled equally by Rogers and Bell, and will plan, design, build, operate and maintain a Canada-wide wireless broadband telecommunications network. Bell and Rogers will each have the right to use 50 per cent of the network's total transmission capacity. Sales, marketing, end-user customer care, and billing functions will be provided directly by Rogers and Bell to their respective customers.
The companies will jointly and equally fund the initial network deployment costs estimated at $200 million over a three-year period, completing a network footprint that will cover over 40 cities and approximately 50 unserved rural and remote communities across Canada. Inukshuk expects to negotiate a roaming agreement with US-based Clearwire Corp., building a similar wireless broadband network, allowing Rogers and Bell to offer customers access to an extensive Canada-U.S. wireless broadband footprint. Inukshuk plans to continue to use network equipment manufactured by NextNet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clearwire Corp.
"This agreement will keep Canada at the leading edge of next generation technologies," Wetmore continued. "It also supports the Government of Canada's rural broadband objectives."
Rogers currently controls and will contribute to the joint venture its entire broadband wireless spectrum in the 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequency ranges. Bell controls and will contribute to the joint venture all of its broadband wireless spectrum in the 2.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequency ranges.
Separately, Bell has reached an agreement with companies controlled directly or indirectly by Craig McCaw under which Bell will acquire the remaining 50 per cent of NR Communications that it does not already own. NR Communications and a subsidiary of Rogers are the two partners in the current Inukshuk joint venture which holds approximately 98 MHz of wireless broadband spectrum in the 2.5 GHz frequency range across much of Canada.
Spectrum transfer approvals from Industry Canada, completion of Bell's acquisition of Craig McCaw's interest in NR Communications, and other customary closing conditions are expected to be straightforward.

Da Yu Ling High Mountain Oolong Tea
Flavor: Fruity, fragrant herbal tones. Full, balanced, fresh floral/green/fruity flavor. Lingering, aromatic finish. This Da Yu Ling Oolong ranks definitively within the category of Taiwan's finest High Mountain Oolong.
Garden: This farm is in Taiwan's prime tea growing region. In this region, the location of the farm is indicated by the kilometer marking on the cross-central highway. This farm is around the 100k marker, which indicates some of the most pristine tea real estate on the island.
The highest elevation tea growing regions are where the epitome of this type of tea is produced.The ideal climate conditions offered by this elevation range combined with the methods of tea cultivation that have been developed are considered to be the main factors that have gained this category of tea its fame.
The place names of Li Shan and Da Yu Ling are unsurpassed for prime Taiwan High Mountain Oolong, and we feel privileged to be able to share this tea, which has become recognised as some of the best in the world.
Harvest: Hand picked in small batches. Spring 2014.
Elevation: 2100m
Tasting Notes
This most exclusive High Mountain Oolong produced in Taiwan is renowned for its fragrant aroma and lingering aftertaste. Its unique character is comprised of a freshness and complexity of fragrance and a substantial flavor have captivated tea lovers around the globe.
The subtleties of aroma are derived from newly grown leaves of the Green Heart Oolong (清心烏龍) cultivar grown at an elevation that provides optimal climate conditions for this plant. The slower growth at high elevation provides substance to the tender new growth which in turn gives premium Taiwan High Mountain tea its claim to fame. It is in a class of its own due its smooth, clean - yet complex flavor followed by a heady lingering aftertaste.
The Story Of This Tea
This Da Yu Ling Oolong ranks definitively within the category of Taiwan's finest High Mountain Oolong.
This batch of tea was procured through a friend who is one of the most active tea merchants we know. He also is the most frequent prize winner in tea competitions all over the island of Taiwan. He was raised in tea and his father was a renowned tea producer in the Songbolin area of Nantou County.
He diligently seeks out tea from sources with whom he has ongoing relationships with, and who know what he likes. Without this kind of history of connections in the local industry, it is quite difficult to source this level of exclusive quality. This standard of quality is mainly in relation to the amount of oxidation that the leaves undergo, in addition to farm management. The producer and the buyer share their tea making experience and mutually agree on the methods to be employed.
In this way, the buyer is not dependent on what is produced in a given season without actively participating in the production. That would require shopping around with less reliable sources that lack the reliability of a working relationship. The buyer can refer to previous batches of tea that he has procured and fine tune the processing methods based on previous results. This is crucial when it comes to procuring the finest High Mountain Oolong Tea in the world. Virgin tea farms at the highest range of elevation that are cultivated by farmers who are sought after by other artisans with perhaps more experience in tea cultivation brings the quality of production to a premium. This is the cutting edge of the High Mountain Oolong Tea industry and the circumstance in which this tea was procured.
Brewing Tips
Single Mug Brew:
Put 4-5 grams of tea leaves in a 16 ounce mug, fill with boiling temperature water and let steep for 3-4 minutes before drinking. After about half of the tea is drunk, refill with boiling temperature water and let sit for 2 minutes and continue to enjoy. This tea can be brewed further by simply adding water as you continue to drink it. Adjust amount of tea leaves used to personal preference.
Cold Brew:
You may find that you will get the most out of this premium tea by using the gong fu method of brewing. However, if you are a fan of cold brew, this will likely give you some of the best results of any tea you can find! Add 5-6 grams of tea per liter of water and let brew at room temperature for 3 hours or refrigerate overnight to enjoy the next day.
Gong Fu Brew:
Fill a Gong Fu teapot to 1/6 or less capacity with tea leaves and follow the standard Gong Fu brewing method.
