Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
Vortech V-3 SCi Supercharger Mustang 5.0L Engine Kit Upgrade
Adding A Supercharger To Your 5.0L Bullet Has Never Been Easier-Or Cheaper.
Bolting on this supercharger system was an easy task, not because JPC has done this combo many times over the years, but mostly because Vortech designed the kit to be simple. A couple of engine accessories are relocated using Vortech's cast brackets, the supercharger mounts easily on a plate, and a secondary pulley is bolted to the factory crank pulley. The company does a great job in providing every nut and bolt to install the system.
Our lives were also made easier thanks to the V-3 being a self-lubricating blower. That meant we didn't need to drill and tap into the engine's oiling system, like its V-1 and V-2 predecessor. The blower contains its own oil, which is checked with a dipstick, and there are holes for draining and filling the head unit with Vortech's special oil.
On the chassis dyno, we were simply blown away-no pun intended. The engine responded very well to a nominal amount of boost (6 psi at 5,500 rpm) and output climbed to an impressive 405 rwhp. The standard kit is advertised as producing 5 psi on a stock engine, so why did it make 6 psi on our modified one? Remember, boost is a byproduct of engine restriction (backpressure), and our bullet had a much more efficient top end thanks to the heads/cam/intake upgrade. Conventional wisdom dictates that our overall boost should have been lower than 6 psi since our engine was less restrictive than stock. Our best assumption is that the UPR inlet pipe increased boost by a few psi thanks to its more efficient and larger inlet to the impeller.
The amount of airflow through a supercharger is based on engine rpm since it is attached to (and driven by) the crank. The higher the rpm, the higher the boost will be (within reason and designed operating range of the blower). Burcham ran the car to 6,000 rpm and it did make upwards of 8 psi, but the power fell off as the engine didn't operate efficiently in that range.
"I have the tune very safe right now and the air/fuel is really rich. It was steady at 10.5:1 through most of the pulls. The tune is really conservative and it could probably make 30-40 more rwhp with more timing and less fuel."
Horsepower junkies may be wondering why we didn't make the jump to the higher power. The answer is because the car still features a stock bottom end, which is pretty tough, but has its limits. This is a '93 Mustang, which features hypereutectic pistons rather than the forged pistons normally found in '87-'92 5.0L H.O. engines. There are future plans for this car, so we didn't want to beat it up too badly with this first set of blower modifications. "This power is good for mid-11s with sticky tires and powershifting," proclaimed Burcham.
It took less than a day to install the base kit and get the car on the chassis dyno. That isn't bad for the 96-rwhp increase, which works out to be 16 rwhp per 1 psi of boost. We also love the classic supercharger whine at idle, although it's toned down compared to the original V-1 blowers. And if that isn't enough for you, Vortech offers upgrade kits to help raise the power level and keep you in front of the new Camaros and Challengers roaming the streets.

DISH Network vs. DIRECTV
When comparing DISH Network to DIRECTV, we are looking at two very good entertainment providers. Of course, there are differences. I will show a list of the features differentiating one from the other later in this article. The consumer would do very well with either of these satellite companies. Both are superior to cable networks in the areas of channel selections, programming packages and overall customer satisfaction.
Editor's Notes: Can't there be an easy way to figure out which package or channel combos work for you? Can't anything be simple and straightforward? Yes! If you look to the right and click on the main channel selections comparison chart, you can quickly and easily make the right choice for your entertainment needs!
Channels and Packages
DISH Network and DIRECTV both offer extensive options in the selection of channels and packages. Sports enthusiasts will be very satisfied with the packages offered. Professional and collegiate football, NBA and NCAA basketball, major league baseball and international soccer leagues are just a small part of the sports entertainment options. Both networks also offer many foreign language channels. Movie buffs will be thrilled with literally thousands of choices.
It is hard to say if one of these satellite providers is superior to the other in this area. What it really comes down to is personal taste and, ultimately, your own choice. We have created an extensive charting system that will show exactly what channels and packages are offered by both companies. Just click on the link provided and examine all the selections.
Ordering and Installation
Our research shows installations are usually done on time and are completed in the first day. Although we have heard about a few installation issues this seems to be the exception, but not commonplace. Both DISH Network and DIRECTV carry very good reputations in the ordering process and in installation.
Network Retailers
There are many network retailers for DISH Network and DIRECTV. These network retailers usually offer a promotional freebie, but will find a way to charge for it eventually. The best way is to deal directly with the actual providers. We have heard of crazy credit card charge allegations, not to mention language issues when trying to dispute charges.
Whatever style of music you like, DISH Network and DIRECTV are more than happy to accommodate. Both of these satellite providers offer fully comprehensive lists of sounds from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and on..well, you get the message. Soft rock, hard rock, soul, country tunes, techno and rap. This is only a small list of the many genres of music offered. Also, music from other countries can be enjoyed. Again, the best way to find the selections that you desire is to click on our music selection link to view our charts. There you will be able to see all music selections available from DISH Network and DIRECTV immediately.
Extensive Charts
Both DISH Network and DIRECTV are committed to excellent customer service 24 hours a day. They each offer a wide array of channels and also offer multiple packages. Customization of channels is also possible. Affordability is always a concern when choosing your home entertainment provider. The price points are very similar for both of these satellite providers. The best way to scrutinize pricing is to link onto our customized charts and choose the specific choices that fit your own specific, individualized needs for you and your family. These channel comparison charts were designed to show the differences in the programming, so potential viewers can choose the network that works the best for their situation.

Iowa Gun Laws Not Liked By Some
Gun bans for Iowa's courthouses, city halls and other civic buildings are being debated across the state.
The new state law that eases the way for Iowa residents to carry guns has led to the discussion by city councils and county boards.
Alamakee County supervisors already have passed a proposal to ban guns from county-owned buildings. Waterloo passed a city ban last week.
Iowa's new gun law took effect January 1st. It limits the discretion local sheriffs previously had in denying permits without explanation. Now, sheriffs may deny applications for specific reasons only.

To Buy or to Lease?
This is me
This might be me
This is not me
I always drive over 15,000 miles a year.
I like to customize my car by tinting windows, adding pinstripes, sound system, etc.
I usually get emotionally attached to my car.
I love to see those payments dwindle to nothing.
I've got to have (real) new car smell.
I like the security of driving a car under warranty.
I usually choose a car that I can't afford.
My current car is more than 4 years old.
I am willing to trade ownership for low, monthly payments.
My company reimburses me for car expenses.
I like to do my own repair work.
I typically drive less than 12,000 miles a year.
You're more likely to buy
When you lease a car, you are typically capped at 15,000 miles a year. Additional mileage can cost you up to 35 cents per mile. And that can really add up.
If you like to personalize a car, this investment can be lost on a leased car.
If you like the idea of ownership, you are less likely to be happy with the lease option.
If you like the feeling of accomplishment that paying off a large purchase brings and should consider that when you lease a car, the payment ends only when you return the car.
If the car you presently own is over 3 years old you are more likely a buyer. While not always true, you can usually drive for less if you're willing to buy and drive for at least 3 years.
If you don't mind doing your own car repairs, you probably don't mind driving a car after the warranty expires.

You're more likely to lease
Lease arrangements usually involve a 15,000 miles-per-year cap and charge for extra miles. If you drive very little, you may be a candidate for a luxury lease.
When you negotiate a 24 or 36-month lease, you can be sure you'll always be driving a new vehicle.
Although you need to maintain and repair your leased vehicle just as you would an owned vehicle, because you typically lease for 2 to 3 years, the car is normally under warranty.
Many people prefer to drive a vehicle that is priced above their means and leasing provides the solution.
If you don't mind not owning the car, you are free to enjoy the benefits of leasing like low monthly payments and a low down payment.
If you own the company, and you use your car for business, check with your tax advisor. You may be able to deduct your auto expenses, including your monthly lease payment. And if the company you work for gives you a monthly car allowance, you may want to lease since you'll be able to drive a nicer car for a lower monthly payment.

University Teachers Contribute to Technological Updating of Industrial Establishments
| Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry has rendered scientific and technological assistance to industrial establishments.
Researchers and teachers of the university went to the Pyongyang Textile Mill and helped its technicians recondition the boiler of the dyeing shop to reduce the coal consumption by half and minimize the caustic soda content of waste water.
The Taehung Youth Hero Mine, with the help of the university's researchers and teachers, has almost finished the construction of a caking coal briquette shop needed for increased production of magnesia clinker.
The university has given assistance to the Pyongyang Flour-processing Factory and the Pyongyang Pig Farm in computerizing analysis equipment and developing additives necessary to improve the quality of bread and twists and raise the weight of pigs.
It has also aided the Changsong, Sakju and Musan foodstuff factories in streamlining their production processes and inventing different kinds of machines needed to turn out foodstuffs with materials available in local areas.

What to Ask on Campus Tours
College visit guides have the answers. Ask the right questions.
Got real questions about what college is like? Campus tour guides have answers. You'll get a lot out of visiting colleges, but at Saint Louis University, the campus tour guides are current undergraduate students, so they won't just tell you about dorms, they can also tell you where to get a good grilled cheese sandwich, if they feel safe walking around campus at night and if you can paint your dorm room. (Sorry, no, on that last one by the way.)
What Happens on a Campus Tour?
"Showing off campus is like showing off my home," says one tour guide, who at SLU are known as ambassadors. So what should you ask your campus tour guide? At SLU, some of the most popular questions are:
- Why did you choose SLU?
- How often do students go home on the weekends?
- What's it like in the residence halls?
- Oh, and what's a Billiken?
But SLU's tour leaders will also give you a personal look at campus.
"I try to keep my campus tours in the first person," says another ambassador. "I tell my guests, 'I like to go to Busch Student Center; this is where I sit in class; this is where my friends come to throw the Frisbee around; that kind of stuff.'"
Don't Ask These College Questions
Are there any questions you shouldn't ask on a college tour? Keep the focus on yourself, not your guide. So stay away from asking them about their GPA, their SAT score, their financial aid package and how much weight they gained when they came to college. (Yikes, MYOB.)
But never hesitate to ask a question about the university's academics, campus life or even the architectural features you notice around campus. (At SLU, highlights include the gorgeous view inside College Church and Samuel Cupples House - some people think it looks like Hogwarts.) "The best part is when the campus tour ends and a student says to me that she can tell how much I love my school," a SLU ambassador says.
At SLU, there are actually two ways to connect with current students. One is on the campus visit. The other is the Billiken Buddy program, where high school students hang out with undergrads for a night in the residence halls and shadow them to classes. Find out more!

Feedback is our weekly column of bizarre stories, implausible advertising claims, confusing instructions and more
ON A trip to a science conference in Bulgaria, Jasmine Parkinson came across a bottled drink in a service station. It was raspberry flavoured mineral water by Adelholzener. Large letters on the bottle claimed that it contained "15 times more oxygen" than standard Adelholzener mineral water.
Nowhere on the bottle did it explain why water with extra oxygen is better. "Correct me if I'm wrong," Jasmine says, "but I understand that fish gain oxygen dissolved in water through their gills. However, as I do not have gills in my stomach, I fail to see how this is going to benefit me."
Whatever those benefits may be, it turns out that the oxygen content of Jasmine's mineral water is as nothing compared with the OxyFresh water that Garry Kirkham discovered at oxyfresh.com.au. This tells us: ...

Jetting advice: CPR air filter on 950
View Single Post
Joined: Sep 2012
Oddometer: 4
'04- 950
I just bought a 950 Adv, and shes running pretty sweet! I put a new air filter on and a uni pre-filter on and took her for a spin. I live at about 5000ft, and ride only up. At about 8500ft, and when hitting the throttle at about 4k it falls on its face. I have always had some light popping on deceleration. My friend says it smells a lot like gas while riding behind me, which confirms my suspicion of it running a bit rich.
The bike came from somewhere's in AK so who knows what its jetted for. The previous owner has done tons to the bike so I'm sure that its not stock jetting. It currently has a hard time starting in the garage at anything below 50degrees outside temp, and I try and ride year round.
This is what I'm dealing with:
uni pre-filter
Dual FMF cans with spark arrestors
5000ft and almost always ride higher
Premium only
That being said what would people suggest for jetting? I'm planning on getting a Factory Pro kit unless there is something better out there?

Stephen Colbert to sing 'Friday' on 'Jimmy Fallon'; Donors Choose benefits
Stephen Colbert is set to perform Rebecca Black's "Friday" on (haha!) Friday on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." It all started when Jimmy Fallon noticed Colbert auctioned off a portrait of himself and raised $26,000 for Donors Choose. He then proclaimed that Fallon was to match the amount, which Fallon never said he'd do.
So Colbert drops by "Late Night" and the schtick continues until Fallon says that Colbert will perform "Friday" if his viewers raise the $26,000 by Friday. Well, the amount has been met, as Fallon announced Wednesday morning via Twitter - "We did it!!!!! Whoo-hoo!!!!!! Thanks!!!!"
Followed closely by, "Thank you, everyone!!! We did it!!! Stephen Colbert will (has to) sing "Friday" this Friday on our show!! Awesome!! #26000 #donorschoose."
Should be fun. Also, when charity wins, we all win. According to the website, currently the "impact" is as follows: Donated: $26,043 Donors: 895 Students Reached: 12,013
Our only other question is - are Colbert and Fallon going to pony up some dough of their own, or just put it all on their viewers?

It not that I cant believe it, I think the fact that we got involved in Libya and Egypt but this man his committing very seriously disturbing crimes and we haven't really worked to eliminate him from what I have seen. Should we work harder with African governments to just go in and kill this man? I dont know, but having done nothing substantial feels wrong to me.

Genesis B (formerly known as the Later Genesis) is found in the 'Junius manuscript' of Old English poetry (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Junius 11) embedded in a much longer poem that we call Genesis A. Genesis as a whole tells, in a paraphrase that follows the Bible closely, the story of humankind from creation onwards and Genesis B is slotted in (as lines 235–851) at the point where Adam and Eve fall into sin in the Garden of Eden. But its expansive style is very different from that of the main poem and its integrity as a work in its own right, with a separate origin, is clear. Something of that origin is known, for the Old English poem is a translation of a version in Old Saxon, the language, …

Investigations by the Enforcement Directorate into e-commerce poster boy Flipkart have found that the company violated Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) provisions to the tune of around Rs 1,400 crore between 2009 and 2012, a senior ED official told FE. The e-tailer, which came under the scanner for allegedly engaging in business-to-consumer retail even though it had raised money from foreign investors, can be fined anything from 10% to up to three times the violation amount, upon adjudication. Hence, this may translate into a fine of up to Rs 4,200 crore, or it could get away with a relatively light penalty of Rs 140 crore.
The complaint is now with an adjudicating body in Delhi which will issue a show-cause notice that will set into motion a quasi-judicial process. As the process involves further examination of the complaint, it is likely that issuing a show-cause notice will take a few weeks.
"The investigations were completed some months ago and the complaint has been sent to the adjudicating body. Responses may be sought from the investigators if any clarification is needed. Only after that will Flipkart be issued a show-cause notice," the official said. The notice will allow Flipkart to present its case and evidence before the adjudicating authority.
According to publicly available figures, Flipkart had raised $180 million between its incorporation in 2008 and September 2012 from a clutch of investors like
Accel Partners, Tiger Global, MIH (part of Naspers Group) and Iconiq Capital. All through these years, Flipkart had continued with the inventory-led retailing model through its arm WS Retail.
India's laws selectively allow with caveats foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail, which also includes e-commerce, but they permit FDI in the business-to-business segment. The initiation of the ED probe was revealed in December 2012 by then commerce minister Anand Sharma, who made a statement in Parliament that two alleged FEMA violations relating to Bharti Walmart/Cedar Support Services and Flipkart Online Services had been referred to the agency.
Flipkart has, however, maintained that it did not circumvent or flout any regulation. "Flipkart is fully compliant with the laws of the land and we will fully cooperate with authorities," a Flipkart spokesperson said.
Flipkart, in February 2013, had sold WS Retail to a group of high net worth individuals led by former OnMobile COO Rajiv Kuchchal. It then switched over to the marketplace model under which it offered a platform for third-party sellers. Since then, Flipkart raised $200 million in July 2013 followed by another round of $160 million in October. In May this year, Flipkart raised $210 million followed by a $1-billion blitzkrieg in July, the highest ever by an Indian e-commerce company. Overall, Flipkart has raised at least $1.7 billion since its inception from marquee investors like Singapore's …continued »

Today, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Texas-based developer Twisted Pixel Games to work exclusively with the Xbox 360. The move will see the developers brought to Microsoft Studios to continue development of their games for Microsoft's platform.
Twisted Pixel, founded in 2006, is known for bringing the generally well-received 'Splosion Man to Xbox Live Arcade, following up with the sequel Ms. 'Splosion Man. The firm's latest game, Kinect-enabled title The Gunstringer, was also met with positive reviews.
The company also brought The Maw and Comic Jumper to the Xbox Live Marketplace. Before the acquisition, Twisted Pixel was also a registered developer for the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS but had only ever actually released games on the PC and XBLA.
Earlier this year, Twisted Pixel was involved in a public plagiarism spat with Capcom regarding 'Splosion Man and the Capcom title MaXplosion. MaXplosion was released by Capcom onto iOS devices, with many--including Twisted Pixel's CEO--pointing out a number of similarities between it and Twisted Pixel's title. It also emerged through an interview that Twisted Pixel had pitched the idea of 'Splosion Man to Capcom, only to be rejected. Capcom defended its position, stating that the mobile division was a completely separate department and had no knowledge of Twisted Pixel's pitch or the game.
Twisted Pixel now joins Lionhead Studios and Rare as Microsoft-exclusive developers.

It changes direction like a spooked UFO. There's an occasional whiff of oversteer, which can be turned into a long slide, or left alone as the car straightens itself out. You can be clumsy, and it won't eat your ego. Or you could drive it to the edge of physical possibility, and it still won't bite. It could even handle a bit more power, which is a big compliment for something that goes from 0 to 62mph in 2.8secs. Downshifts occur almost before you've pulled the paddle, and upshifts are similarly rapid, as a blaze of LEDs light up the crisp digital screen.

Firstly apologies if the terms I use aren't quite right, I'm still a LotRO player at heart, so am trying to adjust to the new terms of SWTOR! :D
I think to me, one thing that stings is this...
If I buy Cartel coins (which I intend to do now, it's just a case of researching what to buy carefully). I have two characters to outfit.
Buying two of any of the important boosts (eg: crafting skills, inventory/bank, quick bars, artefact license) costs less than purchasing it account-wide.
So by now I know what two classes I want to play. I created them, that uses up my two character slots on Red Eclipse.
I have a feeling, having played the other classes to just beyond level 10 before deleting them, that I will stick to the two I have chosen.
So why should I pay the price of 3 or more of the above bonuses, to make them account wide, when I can buy just two for less cartel coins?
Is it really worth it?

" it's those free-to-play and Preferred players that are feeling a bit shortchanged right now."
This sentence right here is enlightening. That the author could believe that someone who is playing for free could be, "shortchanged," is ludicrous.
If they are playing for free, or getting exactly what they pay for by purchasing specific elements in the cash shop via micro-transactions, then they are not being shortchanged.
If the author wants to argue that effectively leveraging the FtP model for maximum player engagement/retention and revenue gain in this game would entail changes he should do that instead of engaging in entitlement based complaints.
When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done.

The game costs more to play now than it did when it was first released. I'm not quite sure what they're expecting to get out of that. I feel like it's a late April fools joke.

The worst part is the race choice. Human or Zabrak... is it me or am I the only one around here that HATES THE HUMAN RACE... and the zabrak is the same damn thing with horns in it... How come I have to pay to get the other races? RACISTS!!!
Originally posted by Cypruska
I look at it this way...
Either you limit the available classes (eg you can choose Alliance OR Sith, not both. Or you can only choose Jedi Knight and Trooper, nothing more)...
Or you limit the races available, as they have done.
I know which I would prefer, and that is to have unlimited classes, but limited races.
Remember, LotRO had unlimited races (only 4 to start with!), but limited classes (you had to buy Runekeeper, or Warden, unless you brought the x-pack). I think that decision has to be carefully balanced but I understand the choice in SW: TOR because there are far fewer classes than races.
I'm elaborating on this, as I thought of something more...
In LotRO, the RACES you chose detemined the starting area. So Dwarf/Elf/Human/Hobbit had their own starting areas, it wasn't by class.
In SW: TOR, your CLASS determines your starting planet, so again the choice to limit races, but allow unlimted class choice makes perfect sense.

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with the subscription model. Wife and I had 9 accounts in SWG for many years (all at 14.99 p/mo), so I have no problem what-so-ever with paying to play something I enjoy.
What I do have a problem with is, paying for a sub-par game. If I actualy want the "raid gear grind", quest happy lead by a leash down a narrow hallway, PVP gear grind, hotbar bloat (47 specials that only work when this and that happens 1st), in a themepark MMO, I'll go play WoW with it's 8 years of post-launch content. TOR will NEVER be able to compete with a game, content wise, that's been out for 8 years with all those expansions/content additions. So, in that model, it's always going to end up as 2nd, at the best it can look foward to. I don't play WoW as that just isn't the game and gameplay style for me.
SW:TOR = great ideas, done hap-hazardly by the NGE developers that had an idea to make a MMO with WoW content and a Star Wars skin, and copying something that already exists in a much more quantity and quality context. The part that amazes me is;
They say 40% of their "touted" 1.8 mil that left the game stated they might play F2P so they set off to please that 40%. What about the other 60% (the larger number anyway)? Did they leave due to the fact that TOR gameplay just didn't please? And instead of "fixing" the game to be the more enjoyable experience, they recycle everything BioWare NGE devs can get their grimey-little-meat-grabbers onto to part out and charge for in their "store". (UI, hotbars, etc)
What a way to run a "train-wreck".

Anderson: I texted with kidnapper, didn't call
San Diego The 16-year-old California girl who was kidnapped by a family friend and later rescued says she exchanged texts with the man beforehand, not phone calls as police have said.
Authorities say James Lee DiMaggio killed his close friend and her 8-year-old son Aug. 4 at his rural house east of San Diego and fled with her 16-year-old daughter.
Search warrants have said the teen, Hannah Anderson, exchanged about 13 phone calls with DiMaggio before she was picked up from cheerleading practice that day.
But Anderson says the communications were texts, not calls, and she was telling DiMaggio where to pick her up.
Anderson gave her first news interview since her rescue to NBC's "Today" show. It aired Thursday.
The San Diego County Sheriff's says it could not immediately explain the discrepancy.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
As a 16-year-old girl breaks her silence about how she was kidnapped by a family friend accused of killing her mother and brother, the girl's father is striking back at the suggestion that the suspect fathered his children.
Brett Anderson finds it "disgusting" that the family of James Lee DiMaggio is mentioning the suspect as the possible father of Hannah and Ethan Anderson, said Stacy Hess, an Anderson family spokeswoman.
DiMaggio, 40, didn't meet Brett and Christina Anderson until Christina was six months pregnant with Hannah, Hess said. And investigators used Brett Anderson's DNA to confirm the identity of 8-year-old Ethan Anderson, whose remains were found in the rubble of DiMaggio's burned home, she said.
The exchange of words over families for the suspect and victim came as Hannah Anderson ended her public silence since she was rescued Aug. 10 by FBI agents during a shootout in the Idaho wilderness that killed DiMaggio. Hannah gave her first news interview since her rescue to the NBC "Today" show, which was scheduled to air Thursday.
"In the beginning I was a victim, but now knowing everyone out there is helping me I consider myself a survivor instead," she told NBC. "My mom raised me to be strong."
Andrew Spanswick, a spokesman for the DiMaggio family, said rumors have circulated on social media that DiMaggio fathered the children and that it was "a little strange" that the suspect named the girl's paternal grandmother as his life insurance beneficiary.
Lora Robinson, DiMaggio's sister and lone survivor of his immediate family, collected DNA from her brother and wants samples from Hannah Anderson and her brother to determine paternity, Spanswick said. She has not yet asked for the samples but intends to at a later date.
"The biggest issue is, I think, that Lora wants closure on the case," Spanswick said. "As Lora has heard these rumors, she would like to confirm whether they are true or not."
DiMaggio was like an uncle to the Anderson children and Brett Anderson's best friend. Hannah was rescued Aug. 10 when FBI agents killed DiMaggio in the Idaho wilderness, ending a massive search that spanned much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.

Take home exam number 3! Here is one of my responses....
Question #1
Much of the information known today about biology comes from scientists craving a deeper understanding of the world around us and the fundamental workings of living things. Basic research that started with curiosity and aimed at understanding has led to the discovery of DNA structure, the central dogma, genetics, regulatory mechanisms and much, much more. Unfortunately today, many politicians and grant providers believe that the slow rate of successful applications to medical diagnosis and therapy is due to a lack of willingness to focus solely on human health and are trying to narrow the focus of scientific research to "translational research" that can be directly applied to human health. However, basic research is essential to continue growing our fundamental base of knowledge. History shows that our solid scientific foundation is the result of the work done by thousands of basic scientists whose biggest goal was to understand the fundamental workings of living things.
There are many reasons basic scientific research is important. One reason is that it helps identify the universal aspects of life but also helps identify where things are different. When universal aspects are discovered it gives us a basis for developing theories and laws that we can then apply to other various systems. For example fly research has led to the discovery of many tool box genes/ proteins and a deeper understanding of regulatory mechanisms some of which can also be found in other species, including humans. Finding genes and mechanisms that have been conserved throughout evolution can also give us insight to our evolutionary past, help construct phylogeny trees and see how all living things are related. As many historians say "the key to a bright future is understanding the past."
Another reason basic scientific research is important is that it can help us discover, design, and utilize new research methods and tools. Many methods we use today were designed conducting basic scientific research, examples being transformation, vectors, mutational analysis, and more. Studying different animal systems that can be applied to humans is also very important because for some studies it would be unethical to perform the treatments on humans. For developmental studies specifically it is difficult to work with humans because of the long gestation period as well, therefore its logical to study other "model" organisms.
Lastly, basic scientific research may contribute to advances in other fields such as food, fishery, pest control, resource management, conservation, and engineering. Science isn't just about finding medical cures, although that is very important, it is also important to understand how the world works around us. By further developing these fields we can improve the standard of life for many.
Overall, basic research is what has built our founding knowledge. If we would like to continue to grow and learn as a scientific community it is important to continuing doing basic scientific research. By doing basic research we will continue to identify aspects of life that have been conserved through evolution, develop laws and theories that can be applied to various systems, develop new scientific methods, and contribute to advancement in other fields aside from medicine. Rather than trying to investigate very specific aspects of certain diseases and illnesses we should be broadening our scope and trying to understand general mechanisms and then eventually "the cures" will present themselves.
Recently in class we have been studying fly development, for lab we were asked to create a video of a development stage. This has proven to be a difficult and frustrating assignment... either our technology isn't working, or the flies don't do what we want them to! In an attempt to catch fly mating behavior my lab partner and I recorded this video of fly behavior.
Two weeks ago I wrote about the central dogma and how the analogy of computer technology relates. This week, I would like to further that analogy and talk about some of the regulation mechanisms, and also point out some areas where this analogy could be misleading.
Selective protein production is important in cell differentiation, so it is also important to look at how protein production is regulated. One mechanism called enzyme induction was intensively studied in E. Coli, a type of bacteria. E. Coli metabolizes glucose as an energy source, but also has that ability to break down more complex sugars like lactose using an enzyme called β-galactosidase. Scientists discovered that when E. Coli was grown on a medium including glucose, little of the enzyme B-galactosidase was produced, but when there was no glucose present, only lactose, this enzyme was produced in large quantities. Carroll deems this "gene logic," meaning that enzymes are only produced when they are needed. When lactose is present it binds to the repressor (a molecule blocking the transcription of the gene when it is not needed), and makes the repressor fall off which allows the gene to be transcribed and translated to produce the B-galactosidase enzyme to break down lactose. The repressor of the B-galactosidase gene is an example of one of many DNA-binding proteins that bind to genetic switches in bacteria and yeast. Very similar to the "Boolean logic" used in computer technology where essentially all "decisions" made by the computer are either 0 or 1, these systems are deemed either "on" or "off."
A gene may have one of these switches, or may have various switches. It is also possible that one protein may control multiple switches. In order to coordinate development of an organism, the switches of different genes may share multiple inputs or similar sequences. For specific cell types, it is often found that the genes for certain proteins are activated by switches with common sequences and utilize the same "tool kit" protein. The developmental steps performed by these individual switches and proteins are connected to the switches and proteins of other genes, in essence creating a large "cascade," which can be diagramed in a similar way to electrical circuits and networks. Each switch is a decision point, like one node in an electrical circuit; the activators and repressors act on the switches to turn them on/off. There are multiple "tiers" of a circuit that define the cascade. Each one of these "circuits" can represent one structure with-in the organism. It takes multiple circuits connected to form a network in order to produce a whole and complete, complex organism.
Although modern computer technology provides a good analogy for the cascade of regulatory mechanism within complex organisms, no metaphor is perfect. Modern computer technology and computer programming is strict, if one code is entered improperly the program simply doesn't work. However, with biological systems there are mechanisms for repair and essentially "room for error," in most cases. If a wrong base is added to a sequence the cell has multiple mechanisms to excise this base, or minimize the effects the error will cause. There are lethal mutations, that are more similar to the mis-coding of a computer, but again there are many mechanisms in place to avoid these mutations. Another area that this metaphor fails to address is reproduction and evolution. Obviously a computer system is absolute and does not pass on its hard-disk information to future progeny, but it is crucial to understand this process when talking about mutations, natural selection, evolution, divergence of species and how this relates to the central dogma. Overall, comparing the central dogma to the computer technology analogy may be helpful in understanding the mechanical operations of producing and regulating different proteins, but it lacks the "big picture" view when looking at the effects of mutations and the divergence of species.
This past weekend we were assigned a take home exam. One of the prompts addressed an article that I had commented on two weeks ago. Here is the prompt:
We went over the experiment to test the role of enhancers of the Prx1 locus which showed their role in regulating limb length in bats and mice. Explain it again, going over the details of the experiment, the results, and the interpretation...but without using any scientific jargon. If you do use any jargon (like "locus", "regulation", "enhancer"), you must also define it in simple English. Make the story comprehensible to a non-biologist!
And here was my response:
The article "Regulatory divergence modifies limb length between mammals" by Chris J. Cretekos et al. set out to investigate the cause of length differences between the limbs of short-tail fruit bats and mice. These organisms represent the two largest orders of mammals and it is thought that they shared a common ancestor between 80 and 100 million years ago. The "lay-out" of their limbs is extremely similar and includes the general one-bone, two-bones, cluster of bones, digits pattern (as also seen in our limbs). However, there are also differences in their limb structure such as the relative length of the digits, the presences or absence of tissue between digits (similar to "webbing") and between limbs (forming wings). In the development of bat and mice embryos the initial formation of the fore-limb show similar timing and position, however as the embryo grows and develops these differences become more apparent.
So what causes this difference in development between mice and bats? Well, before I address this question it is also important to consider the two types of changes that can cause morphological differences. First, it is possible that there are changes in the DNA sequence itself (that code for the parts of the limbs). Second, it is possible that there are changes in the DNA sequence that are non-coding (do not code for limb itself) but are rather the regulatory elements in limb development. A regulatory element is a molecule that helps control the development of some aspect of the organism (in this case the forelimb). This second type of mutation is called a cis-mutation, and can cause modification in specific aspects of the patterns or the level of gene expression.
Prx1 is a gene that is found in both mice and bats and it is a developmental control gene that has been shown to increase skeletal elongation in limbs. When scientists deleted this gene in mice, the resulting embryo initially developed normally, however, the long bones of limbs were significantly shorter and these mutants died at birth. This suggests that Prx1 is essential in regulating long bone elongation. Cretekos et al. hypothesized that because bats have significantly longer long bones, and mice lacking this gene showed significantly shorter long bones that this gene may be what is causing the morphological difference between bat and mice fore-limbs. To further investigate they looked at the expression of this gene in embryos of both mice and bats. They found that Prx1 is initially expressed consistently throughout the budding limb, however later on Prx1 is up-regulated (more is produced) in the end of the bat limb compared to the mouse. These differences in Prx1 gene expression correspond with the physical differences observed.
Next, researchers investigated the cis-regulation of Prx1 (the regulatory sequence of the gene that is non-coding). By deleting certain sections upstream of the Prx1 gene they found a region that acted as a transcription enhancer. A transcription enhancer is a sequence of the gene that an activating protein binds in order to turn the gene on (this helps increase the amount of Prx1 transcripts produced). This enhancer region was similar in both bats and mice. In order to examine the function of this enhancer sequence researchers replaced the mouse enhancer sequence with the bat enhancer (leaving the original Prx1 gene intact in the mice). What they found was that the bat Prx1 enhancer sequence increased the forelimb length during the development of the mice but the pattern was maintained (it still looked like a mouse forelimb). It was also interesting that when the mouse Prx1 enhancer was simply deleted (and not replaced) limb development in the mice was normal. These results show that there must be multiple enhancers that perform the same function aside from the one that was replaced or deleted in this study.
Overall, this study showed further support that changes in the non-coding region of the gene (cis-mutations) can play a role in the physical changes that have occurred and allowed for the divergence of species such as bats and mice.

For some reason, we just can't quit the Texas Longhorns.
I personally have no stake for or against the Longhorns. They are just another team, long on tradition and fan bases and short on performance. There is a long line.
Yet, on a weekly basis now, I seem to be writing about them. This must be what an US Weekly staffer feels about the Kardashians.
When The Longhorn Network was launched, it sparked a thousand debates about how much control a single school should have over its media coverage. It helped destroy a conference and end a rivalry. It was seen as an unfair advantage both for the level of exposure and money it would bring to UT. Like the YES Network a decade ago, there was worry we were allowing one team to because its own super power.
Not to mention the inherent conflict of interests when a 'journalistic' organization strikes a partnership with one of the subjects being covered. You don't suppose ESPN would be 'encouraged' to discuss Texas more and overhype how good the team is for the financial benefit of ESPN, would you? No. Definitely wouldn't happen. It isn't like ESPN would ever talk about something more than it should be just for the sake of ratings, right Tebow?
But now it appears to all be crumbling. In the face of disappointing performance on the field, an increasingly desperate coach and school are looking for a scapegoat, and they have found one. Suddenly the access that was to be an overwhelming recruiting advantage is intrusive and possibly helping opponents scout the Longhorns.
The lucrative new revenue stream is held up by the lack of interest by cable companies in offering LHN to its subscribers.
Texas A&M whined their way out of the Big 12 based on LHN and into the SEC. Now wearing that patch on their shoulders mean that a 59-57 win at Louisiana Tech isn't demonstration of the sad state of defense in the Big 12, it is further proof of the strength of the SEC. Where an Oklahoma or K-State win at Texas A&M would be just offense out-scoring offense, it is now held up as a marquee win for a national title contender. The SEC patch has turned Texas A&M from a middling Big 12 team to a national power only losing because they are playing in THE GREATEST CONFERENCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HISTORY.
Rarely has an idea ever worked out so completely opposite of its stated goals. At least, in that sense The Longhorn Network truly is groundbreaking.

3 Value Stocks That Are Good Buys
There are a lot of overvalued stocks in the market right now. As great as Neflix's (NFLX) and Amazon's (AMZN) business models are I would not touch either stock because of their massive valuations. I would never pay 50 times earnings for any company. These companies trade well above those levels. I prefer to shop in the value section of the market. Here are a few companies that are looking like decent value stocks.
Value Stocks
I wrote a post about AOL last week. I felt like the stock was finally a potential buying candidate between $17 to $18. AOL is almost in the sweet spot having dropped to $19.30 a share. The media company is now trading below book value, sales, and earnings growth. At just 3.1 times Enterprise Value/EBITDA, AOL is almost worth a shot. I never thought the day would come that I would say that AOL is a potential buy.
Hewlett Packard (HPQ)
At $41 a share Hewlett Packard is a pretty good buying opportunity. I like the stock at these levels. If it falls to the 30's, the stock is an absolute steal. As it is you are only paying 7.8 times earnings. $12 billion or more in operating cash flow generated each year leaves a whole lot of room for more dividend increases.
Ford (F)
I have already stated why I am a fan of Ford's stock in the past. Investors are getting a great opportunity to buy shares of Ford for $15. The stock trades at just under 8 times earnings and has tremendous growth potential over the next few years. In my opinion long term shareholders will be rewarded as Ford has been making all of the right moves to broaden its appeal in North America and Asia.
Are there any stocks that you think are looking like good values right now?

A few names that I've picked up:
JPM/WFC: Either of these 2 big banks would be a good choice for someone who believes housing has bottomed. They have solid risk management and are growing their profits now. Revenue may consolidate, but there's room for the dividend to expand. Buffett has bet big on WFC, but JPM is cheaper on P/B and FP/E basis.
TEVA: Oversold on rival drug concerns. This is the generic king in an industry that's shifting that way due to government cost pressures. Also, the FDA just doesn't allow generic manufacturing from just anyone. TEVA has done the legwork in setting up plants according to their standards. They also have the advantage of volume production. Partnership with P&G should be fruitful. Is also cheap on a P/E basis (though that metric can be misleading for generic firms, whose earnings can sometimes be volatile). Pays a small dividend with room to grow. Is a decent buy even now.
If you look overseas, TEF and FTE can be good choices. They've been pounded by the Eurozone mess, but both are solid yielding utilities. TEF has strong Latin America operations that should compensate for weakness in Spain. One concern would be possible Euro collapse causing currency conversion losses.
Of your picks, my bias is to HPQ. That's definitely a good entry below $40. The company has corporate mindshare and is just too cheap right now.
I think these are wonderful ideas, Mark. I don't own any of them but had been watching Ford for awhile and am impressed by the turnaround that they made prior to the financial crisis which kept them from feeding at the government trough. I own DRYS and am hoping that it represents value. It is risky for sure. The BDI is low and there is a lot of shipping capacity scheduled to come online in the next 12 months. Despite that, I think when the economies of the world seriously recover in the next 3-5 years, then the inflation and trade that comes along with it will lift valuations. DRYS also has their oil rig division that will be spun off sometime this year which could unlock value prior to a shipping recovery.
AOL and HPQ are in the fast pace business of internet and technology … Not sure I would consider them buy and hold. They could be short term buy but it would be attempting to time the market… On the other hand Ford has been quite interesting and showing strength amongst the car companies. I can't say that they are on my watch list though.
I like the mention of TEVA above. I already own TEF and TOT, so I don't want too many ADR's in my portfolio, but TEVA seems like a great play right now, and the dividend growth is phenomenal, if you can get over the low entry yield. As the population gets older there will certainly be a large demographic going to generics.
I have thought about adding more TEF. I have a handful (40) of shares right now, but it might not be a bad idea to double my position now. I originally planned on TEF being a small position but the yield is absolutely huge, and they have already committed to raising it for 2012.
The banks, as mentioned above, are value plays. But they might also be value traps. My head spins when I try to read into some of the big bank's financials. I might see where things go with WFC and the like.

WEDNESDAY, July 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new United Nations report suggests that the AIDS epidemic might be waning: The number of new HIV infections worldwide is at a record low, AIDS-related deaths are down 35 percent, and more people with HIV are getting the lifesaving medications they need.
International health officials even set a tentative date for the planned demise of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
"If we accelerate all HIV scale-up [increased efforts to fight the virus] by 2020, we will be on track to end the epidemic by 2030," Michel Sidibe, executive director of UNAIDS, said in an agency news release. "If not, we risk significantly increasing the time it would take -- adding a decade, if not more."
At the end of 2013, an estimated 35 million people worldwide were living with HIV, according to the UNAIDS report, which was released Wednesday.
However, the trend in recent years is promising. In the last three years, new HIV infections have dropped 13 percent, and the 2.1 million new HIV infections reported last year are the fewest since the turn of the century.
New HIV infections among children fell by 58 percent since 2001, and are below 200,000 for the first time in the 21 most affected countries in Africa.
The largest decline in new infections was in the Caribbean -- 40 percent since 2005, the researchers noted. But new infections did increase 8 percent in western Europe and North America, 7 percent in the Middle East and North Africa, and 5 percent in eastern Europe and central Asia since 2005.
The news on AIDS-related deaths worldwide was also heartening, with statistics showing a 35 percent decline after the number of deaths peaked in 2005. AIDS-related deaths did increase by 66 percent in the Middle East and North Africa. The only other regions where AIDS-related deaths are rising are eastern Europe and central Asia, where the death toll increased 5 percent between 2005 and 2013. Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death among people with HIV.
Also, a growing number of people with HIV are receiving lifesaving antiretroviral drugs. In 2013, 2.3 million more patients gained access to the medications, boosting the total number to nearly 13 million by the end of 2013. As of now, that number could be as high as nearly 14 million, according to UNAIDS.
In sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 90 percent of people who know they have HIV are receiving treatment, the findings showed.
Ending the HIV epidemic by 2030 would prevent 18 million new infections and 11.2 million AIDS-related deaths between 2013 and 2030, U.N. officials noted.
However, some experts questioned the wisdom of setting such a high goal.
"We've made progress, but the number of people getting infected is still extraordinarily high," Shabbar Jaffar, a professor of epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told the Associated Press. Jaffar added that boosting efforts to fight the disease in Africa, where almost 70 percent of people with HIV live, would be hard because "they [health officials] are already working beyond capacity at the moment."
While there was good news in the report, it also noted that 19 million of the 35 million people worldwide who are infected with HIV do not know they have the virus.
"Whether you live or die should not depend on access to an HIV test," Sidibe said. "Smarter scale-up is needed to close the gap between people who know their HIV status and people who don't, people who can get services and people who can't, and people who are protected and people who are punished."
