Also Features New 12-Inch Drivers from ActionMcFarlane
Friday, October 22, 2004
ActionMcFarlane is proud to announce the lineup for its fourth series of NASCAR driver action figures. This new edition to our NASCAR products features five of the top drivers from the inaugural "Chase for the Nextel Cup" in addition to a driving legend and the circuit's hottest rookie.
Look for these highly detailed and strikingly accurate action figures to arrive in stores in February 2005. Series 4 includes these drivers:Ryan Newman -- The #12 Alltel car has suffered a string of disappointing finishes recently, but put together a strong season that initially qualified the team for the "chase for the Nextel Cup." Newman's intensity is clearly evident in qualifying, as no driver has earned more pole positions this season.Kasey Kahne -- NASCAR's top rookie has earned the respect of the fans and his fellow drivers in his first year at racing's highest level. Kahne put together the kind of season that's tough to ignore -- especially when most drivers were looking at the back of his car all season. Ten top five finishes don't lie...Jeff Gordon -- Gordon can add a fifth championship to his mantle with a strong finish to the season. The #24 car sits in third place in the standings, though Gordon's five victories this season are tied for the most of any driver on the circuit.Jimmie Johnson -- Johnson has fallen to eighth place in the Chase standings, but cemented his legacy in Charlotte by becoming the first driver since Dale Earnhardt in 1986 to sweep the season series at Lowe's Motor Speedway.Elliott Sadler -- A disappointing finish in Charlotte has Elliot Sadler's #38 car in fourth place heading into Sunday's race. A pair of victories this season helped catapult the M&Ms car into the "Chase for the Nextel Cup."Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- It's been a trying season for NASCAR's crown prince, but despite crashes, a dangerous fire and points-stripping from the league itself, Jr. has himself in the hunt for his first NASCAR championship. The Budweiser Chevrolet sits just 24 points off the pace with five races left on the schedule.Rusty Wallace -- One of NASCAR's most beloved veteran drivers is close to finishing his own race. Rusty Wallace will make 2005 his final season on the circuit, his "Last Call" coming after winning the Rookie of the Year award in 1984, the NASCAR championship in 1989 and 54 races during his career.In addition to the series four figures, our NASCAR collectors can look for ActionMcFarlane's first two 12-inch figures soon. Jeff Gordon will be the first driver represented at that scale (coming in December 2004) with Kasey Kahne arriving in stores a few weeks later.

Make tire changes easier.
We have learned the hard way the things that do not substitute for a tire lever: Metal spoon, screwdriver, fingers, floor pump thumblock, prayer and much more. The humble tire lever, in this case the Park Tool TL-1 Set-of-3 Tire Levers, is something so simple yet so vital for happy & self-sufficient bike riding. They're good for helping you fix countless flats thanks to their durable nylon construction. They are tough to bend and even tougher to break, but likewise they peel back the bead of your clincher tire without doing a whit of damage to your rim. Don't leave them behind because if you do and you flat you are totally screwed.
The TL-1 is a 3-pack of levers. You can loan one and lose one because you really only need one to fix a flat. There are a few wheels out there (Campagnolo rims come to mind) where the tire fit is so tight you may need 2.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Works fine on lighter weight casings.

Basic lever but a little soft
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a set of these for a few years now and they function fine. Until I tried a pair of Pedro's levers which are even stiffer, I found that these are a little bit on the soft side. Especially when mounting or dismounting a pair of newer GP4000S, I found these a little bit on the soft side.
Benjamin McKinney
Not as good as the Pedros ones
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
But they sure are cheap.
Pedros' have better hooks for the spoke, they're thicker overall, they stick together better, and they definitely feel stronger. These are a little flimsy for trying to mount a tubeless tire.
But again--cheap.
Chase Skidmore
Really, Reviewing A Tire Lever?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I think the fact that these things have so many reviews is a good indication of how good they are. They are cheap, strong, and hassle-free. They may be a bit more bulky than other options but they are small and light enough for me. And sure if you really crank on them, they'll snap, but I've snapped fewer of these levers than any other brand.
Grant Kates
Length of levers
Just in case anyone out there is wondering on the length of these. They are 11.5 centimeters in length from end to end.
Great to have around!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought these as a back up set of tire levers. I'm very happy with this purchase. I take this set with me on the road. They are very light, durable, economical and compact. Plus purchasing an extra set won't break the bank.
Bill Brown
Best tire levers I've ever used!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
They are economical, light weight-and they work great. I can usually change a tire with one lever but sometimes need two. They fit nicely in my small saddlebag. Work so much better than the aluminum I had before. A set of these, spare tube, and a CO2 pump and you're golden out on the road when you flat.
Gianni Versace
Dependable and economical
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Park value again and again! Get some if you're constantly losing your levers.
skinny cyclist
they're tire levers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Simply put, they are solid levers that last a long time.
Value Levers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I look at tire levers as consumables... The main reason is because I always lose them! These work just fine -- they aren't amazing, but they don't snap after a few uses like other plastic levers I've used. And with three levers that snap together, you get a lot for your buck. Break one, and who cares? Break a second (or lose it like me!), and you have time to order some more!
Works, kinda
I'd look for another set of more robust levers if you are looking for something to use on a daily basis. This will snap when working on tighter beads, like performance road tires or downhill casings. Or you can order a bucket full and be sure to wear eye protection.
good value
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For the price, these are great, especially the wide/flat end of them. Easy to wedge under the bead of the tire without pinching the tube, and easy to separate the tire from the rim with 2 of them. 2 has been sufficient for all the jobs I've had to do, I just leave the third at home, it's not any more useful to me on the road or trail.
One drawback is the skinny end of the lever. They get shredded if you do anything substantial with them. Not really worth it. They should have just left that off and saved the plastic. For the other end though, worth getting some.
Bernardo Gomez
really sturdy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These levers are REALLY sturdy. They never feel clumsy or that they might break.
Chris Huntley
Good Levers
Does what is should. Little bit skinnier lever seems like it's a little easier to get under the bead than wider styles. Only complaint is that it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty like Pedros. That being said, these levers feel really solid to me, but other people seem to break them a lot.
Amanda Batty
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These babies are okay. Not the worst tire levers I've used, but certainly not the best... They tend to bend and break used with stiff hoops and tough beads, and cracking knuckles and cursing while changing your tires is never a good time. However, for the price? They make one hell of a handy back up when you discover them at the bottom of your riding bag under the granola bars. Never hurts to have extras.
Fine within limits...
I own a roadie w 700x25 tires, and a mountain bike on which I periodically change tire sizes. The roadie tires are a cinch - a gentle swipe with just one of these will do fine. But if your considering these for a mtn. bike bike tire size above 2.1", you probably want to get something more substantial. I had no problem getting 1.9" tires off the rim when needed, can just about manage on the 2.1", but these are absolutely hopeless on the 2.3" Kendas - can't get more than one lever secured. I am going to try some quality metal levers to see if that does the trick.
Update: I correct as follows: nothing to do with the tire size but rather the bead type. the 2.35 Kendas mentioned before are wire bead which is what makes them hard to budge w. these levers. As long as your tires are foldable then you're fine. Had no problems getting 2.4" Nobby Nics (foldable) on and off with these!
Pretty good
These are tough to beat for the price and weight. I have some Cutter levers that are really heavy compared to these. I have broken a couple of these on super tight tires, but if you have normal fitting tires, these will be just fine.
Devlin O
Better levers out there
These are probably the worst set of levers I've used. The really don't have any bite to them and don't do a very good job removing the tire from the wheels. The few times I've used them, I keep pulling and jamming to try and get them to work, finally someone else I'll be riding with will just pull out a better set. For $3 who cares, but you'd think Park would put their name behind something a bit better.
Works great for emergencies
These tire levers work great, however, they tend to bend and break after multiple uses if you have stubborn tires. On the bright side, they are a lot safer for your rims, tubes and tires than a screwdriver is.
David Platt
Better than a stick!
You need to carry them. You like blue. What else do you need? Won't mess up your snazzy rims, and won't cut up your hands. Yeah, you need 2 for those nasty Easton rims too - and you might break one while cursing and yelling to just get over the damn rim woulda!! - so better carry all 3. If these aren't enough work on your hand strength and technique - or buy metal levers.

At the start of the month I discussed five key features of the iPad Mini launch that would define Tim Cook's Apple and illustrate the strategic direction that Apple would be taking in 2013 and beyond under his leadership. Now the details are confirmed, let's revisit them.
Before I do, a quick thought. There's no doubt in my mind that short-term the iPad Mini is going to be a hit, sell by the millions, and be the must have gadget for Christmas 2012. But selling lots of devices is the result of a strategy, not a strategy itself. Apple's long-term health is just as important as the sales figures on the new hardware.
Historically the decisions and choices that eventually damaged weakened companies like Nokia, Kodak, and Sony all took place while sales were good and the corporate outlook was optimistic. Will Apple continue to grow and innovate? That's what I want to look, rather than quantifying the upcoming success of the iPad Mini.
Allure: Tim Cook Doesn't Have A Distortion Field.
How well did Apple sell the iPad Mini to the world? To be honest not very well. They trash talked the competition and specifically attacked the Nexus 7. They talked about the delight and wonder of retina screens before arguing you didn't need one on the new iPad. And they updated March's iPad for a new model, breaking an unspoken covenant that the iPad would be updated once per year.
More importantly, everyone noticed all this and wrote about it in relatively scathing terms. The mystique and power that made you want an Apple device simply because the man on stage told you… that's all gone.
Aggression: Pricing Is Set To Remain High
Apple has traditionally priced their hardware at a higher point than the competition, but they always balanced this out by providing better hardware, more capability, and a better return on investment. The pricing of the first iPad was not a case of "how much is that tablet" but "how cheap!"
The situation is now reversed with the iPad Mini. It's a smaller resolution screen, with less memory, and a larger physical footprint than the Nexus 7. Yes it has a stronger ecosystem but is that enough to justify almost double the price of the competition? Part of the presentation should have been to justify this luxury positioning, and I don't think 'thin' is a long term strategy you can count on.
Acknowledgment: What about Maps?
Did I blink and miss the explanation of the issues around maps in iOS 6? I was hoping Tim Cook would have taken clear leadership of this issue. Instead it was airbrushed away as if it never mentioned – apart from everyone on Twitter pointing out that the iPad Mini and the Nexus 7 side-by-side comparisons failed to compare mapping, which is probably one of the key smartphone battlegrounds of the next few years.

A video from Google's YouTube channel (update: the video is now private, but there's a mirror here) introduces a new Gmail interface. It's based on the Preview theme that's already available in Gmail, but there are many other changes: an action bar that uses icons instead of text labels, a completely new interface for conversations, profile pictures next to contacts, a flexible layout that adapts to any window size, display density options like in Google Docs, resizable chat/labels sections, new high-definition themes and an updated search box that includes advanced options.
I don't see the new interface yet, but it will probably be available soon. It's interesting that there's an arrow next to "Mail" and the links to Google Contacts and Google Tasks are missing. Maybe you'll be able to use the arrow to switch to other Google services.

The pollsters say it's up for grabs. So both sides know that these are the three most important factors in today's 1st Congressional District special election between Mark Sanford and Elizabeth Colbert Busch: Turnout, turnout and turnout.
This race has attracted considerable attention in and beyond the district and state. It has also stirred some hard feelings.
But if you're a 1st District registered voter, and you want to have a say in who represents you in the U.S. House for the next year and a half, it's now your turn to choose.
More than 290,000 people voted in last November's 1st District House election.
Less than a quarter of that total voted in the March 19 primaries to pick Tim Scott's replacement — fewer than 55,000 in the Republican primary and fewer than 17,000 in the Democratic primary. Then on April 7, fewer than 47,000 voted in the GOP runoff.
Sure, the 2012 1st District contest was part of a presidential general election, and thus bound to generate a large turnout.
Yet today's election to pick South Carolina's next member of Congress should rate a big crowd of voters, too.
This House seat came open after Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Mr. Scott, who had won a second term mere weeks earlier, to the U.S. Senate to fill the void left by Jim DeMint's resignation.
Today, the many folks who have taken a ballot-box pass — so far — on this spirited contest get a last chance to correct that mistake of omission.
We endorsed Ms. Colbert Busch in Sunday's paper, citing her impressive background in the business community, her energetic advocacy of economic development in the district and her resolve to work across party lines to advance practical solutions to the pressing problems of our times.
We also recommend, though, that regardless of whether you agree with our judgment in this race, you make your judgment count today.
Our self-governing system depends on a well-informed, actively engaged electorate.
And when you don't exercise your precious right to vote, you have precious little right to complain about who represents you in the halls of power.

PASADENA, Calif. Theres no second act for celebrities on Dancing With the Stars.
ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said Thursday that was the lesson from the past few months, when the network brought back some favorite contestants from its long-running competition series and the show fell flat.
It turns out people like to see bad dancing as much as they like to see good dancing, Lee said.
Melissa Rycroft, a former contestant on The Bachelor, beat two former winners Olympian Shawn Johnson and actress Kelly Monaco to win the shows first all-star edition.
Nielsen said its viewership of 14.8 million on Mondays last fall was down 21 percent from the year before.
Even worse for ABC, viewership among the younger 18- to 49-year-old demographic was off 31 percent.
Lee said it is clear the shows fans enjoy the journey of celebrities learning how to dance. This springs edition features first-time competitors.
The average Dancing With the Stars viewer this fall was 61, making it ABCs oldest-skewing show. But it has had an important side benefit for ABC the past few years in boosting Good Morning America ratings when dancing contestants appear on the morning news show.
This falls failure notwithstanding, ABC said it will continue to air separate new editions of Dancing in the spring and fall.
There is a lot of life left in it, Lee said.
The shows slippage had much to do with ABCs problems in the fall. Viewership is down 7 percent from last fall for the third-place network behind CBS and NBC, although both CBS and Fox had steeper declines, Nielsen said.
Lee said he was disappointed that no new ABC shows, and no shows on broadcast TV in general, were hits this fall. ABC already has axed the freshman dramas Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue so far, and the much-touted Nashville is hanging on. Lee said ABC has found that its country music soap Nashville has done well with a younger audience, but the country connection has been a barrier for older viewers.
ABC needs shows that are smart with heart and lead with emotion to succeed, he said.
If we ever have a do not enter sign for women, thats not going to work for us, Lee said.

Tuesday, May 27, 2014
For Ashley Ridge, much of the focus this spring has been on identifying players to step in and fill key defensive spots.
The Swamp Fox football team wrapped up its spring practice Thursday with its annual Spring Game. Last year the inter-team scrimmage was rained out so coaches are just happy they were able to complete their agenda this year.
We had a good spring, Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. The numbers arent bad and I think we are in good shape if we can just stay healthy. Im looking forward to getting our kids in the weight room this summer and seeing what improvements we can make.
Between the varsity and JV teams, approximately 130 athletes came out for spring practice.
This time of year we get the chance to evaluate guys coming up who might help us to fill voids, Walker said. It is always good if you can find a surprise or two, a guy who maybe didnt come out the year before who can help you. I think we have some of those. Our sophomores who are moving up to the varsity have a lot of talent. That group won eight games last season, but now they are having to transition to a faster and more physical level of play.
The Swamp Foxes have to replace some of their anchors on the defensive side of the ball as they lost lineman Josh Spigner, three-year starting free safety Kendall Felder and two defensive ends to graduation.
It is hard to replace Josh, but we have some guys who have been waiting their turn who I feel can do an effective job there, Walker said. The defensive ends we lost were very football savvy but we have some young guys who show promise and could see some playing time early on. Felder made all our calls for the defense so his position is tricky to fill.
However, Walker believes he has found a good candidate for the position in Kingston Thomas, the son of Swamp Fox defensive coordinator Brad Thomas.
Senior linebacker Tyquan Tucker does return as the vocal leader of the AR defense.
On the other side of the ball, the major challenge this spring has been finding a replacement for a pair of talented receivers the team lost to graduation.
Our core group of offensive linemen have all been together for the last few years, Walker said. They will be the heart of our offense. We lost some skill players but our first and second-string receivers are talented and of course running back Tyler Garland is back. We should be set there if we can find a second back who can come in and give him a breather every now and then.
Chandler Avenel returns after starting at quarterback last season. He split time with Sean White and the Swamp Foxes like to use multiple offensive packages so the coaches are giving other players chances to show what they may be able to offer in the QB position.
On special teams, the Swamp Foxes return both kicker Matt Gable and punter Ashton Hughes.
Both will be seniors next season. Rising junior Justin Peterson also returns as one of the top-rated long snappers in the country.

This is a cow with the disease called Johne's disease:
This is a Bufallo with the same disease:
Here is a goat with the same disease:
You can see the animal is losing weight rapidly, those animals will simply die.
It has been found in primates and other animals too.
Now for the kicker, this bacteria called (Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis) is in a huge percentage of the milk supply right now, if you go into any store right now, a biologist will be able to find a box of milk with it in it. Here are some numbers for you:
So what disease is linked to this in humans, crohn's disease:

MAP in a patient with crohn:
"Researchers found Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) bacteria in 92% of patients with the disease.
The epidemic of Johne's disease, like that of mad cow disease, is an indictment of factory farming.[417] Intensive confinement systems in animal agriculture have been accused of not only threatening the global environment, but public health as well.[418] The unnatural concentration of animals raised for slaughter, for example, has led to other human tragedies including the single worst epidemic in recorded world history, the 1918 influenza pandemic.[419] In that case, the unnatural density and proximity of pigs and ducks raised for slaughter led to the deaths of upwards of 40 million people.[420]
This potential crisis is also an indictment of an industry that continues to risk public safety and a government that seems to protect business interests over those of the consumer. As Karen Meyer recently told the LA Times, "There comes a point in time where consumer health takes precedence over commercial concerns."[421]
Every few hours, another child in this country is diagnosed with Crohn's disease and may be condemned to a life of chronic suffering.[422] The balance of evidence strongly suggests a causative link between Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and Crohn's disease.423 This public health issue has been at the periphery of the dairy industry's agenda for years, a nagging concern on the back burner.[424] The consumer movement needs to move it to the front burner and needs to turn up the heat."

0 to 30% on average. The main focus is on antibodies, in CD patients they find antibodies, in controls they often don't.
A distinction is also made between the spheroplast form or not.
It's natural that they find MAP in healthy people too, since it's so widespread. A heatlhy person just drinking a box of contaminated milk will have enough bacteria that it shows up for up to 24 hours in their body.
There are a few cases that show MAP is found less in CD patients than in control after they take medication, but they're higher than controls before they start treatment, the amount of antibodies goes down also.
The first picture shows a higher percentage in people with the disease (CD).
The control is much lower.
After treatment the CD patients drop below the controls within 24 hours.

I intend to live forever -- So far so good!
Going by that table you posted I noticed the prevalance was really high in Inda of all the countries. I would like to know how many cases India has just out of curiosity.
Even though I'm not discounting the possibility of milk being somehow linked to Chron's Disease I reserve judgement until I see figures from countries where the % is really high.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

Yep, good point. Crohn is quite low in India, but in India people boil the milk after they purchase it, which is killing the bacteria.
In the West they don't boil it, pasteurisation is done at 75 degrees celcius for several seconds, and MAP easily survives this (as you can tell from that table).
On the other side of the spectrum you have a country like Ireland, where Crohn is much higher than anywhere else, they have been drinking raw milk for years.
I need to add that the bacteria has now progressed into water reservoirs, (although the presence in milk is still higher) it's present in water and in bottled water, the fields with infected cows have feces with the bacteria, it seeps into the soil, and is contaminating water.
Another point I would like to make is that you can see huge differences between the PCR and culture mehod on that table. MAP is an intracellular bacteria, just like tuberculosis, and is quite hard to detect. It's very easy to rig a test to make it fall into whatever favorable side you want it to fall into, it's really easy to pretend the bacteria simply isn't there, especially since the bacteria multiplies very slowly, it means that culturing the bacteria takes quite a while. Even though the bacteria might not show up in the first test, with enough culturing and the right PCR test, it will often show up. Labs with the know how have very little trouble making MAP show up, while some labs don't get a single positive result, even though other labs get positive results from the same source.
Someone made a graph once where they put older results against newer results in terms of MAP detection. The newer studies show much higher MAP rates in dairy, water and crohn patients. It doesn't mean the old studies were rigged, it just shows that the tests have become better and more sensitive and see MAP where no one could find it before.
Here is a map of the prevelance of crohn around the world. What's interesting here is singled out countries with crohn like South-Africa, Sudan and China, countries that imported a lot of European cows.

Alot of the data you provided is interesting, but I'm afraid I must take issue with the quoted section. The 1918 influenza pandemic, the so-called "Spanish flu," was so widespread because of the massive worldwide movement of humans at the time due to the first world war. A popular theory is that it originated in animals bred for Fort Riley, Kansas and passed from soldiers there to the rest of the world, but it is only one of many theories and there is not enough data to make a sound judgement. The 'Spanish flu' was also only known to strike humans. It is unfair to jump to the conclusion that the livestock industry is responsible for the deaths of 40 to 130 million people.
Besides that I found your posts an interesting read. I'm not convinced one way or another but it's certainly something to think about. I'm curious what you know of the so-called 'organic' or 'natrual' food movement, if animals raised according to those standards are any better or worse off. If I buy organic milk from the store would it be any safer? And if not, what would the industry need to do to improve this issue?

It wouldn't be much safer, since it's found in many free ranging animals, they get it through the water from the soil, infected from cow feces, (bison, mouflon, wild rabbits are all getting it), there's also less chance of farmers spotting the disease, it's usually only spotted once animals start to die en masse. An animal can have MAP for years without knowing it, it's only after years of being infected that the animal start to show symptoms.
What they would need to do is enforcing cullings, all of those animals and the stock that came into contact with the bacteria needs to be killed. Milk and water would need to be boiled, not just pasteurised, and money needs to be spent to help people who have the bug right now. The killings of the animals and the economic loss is why everyone tries not to mention it, talking about this issue is like talking about aids one study said, farmers are trying to hush hush, it's getting harder and harder to keep it quiet, since free ranging animals are dying and non-farmers are starting to realise what is happening. Many containment programs have started the last couple of years, but it could be too late, millions of animals are now infected, and the water is contaminated now.
Not only is MAP spreading, but Crohn's disease is rising incredibly fast. In ireland there is an increase of 90%.
This rise is why they know it's caused by bacteria, since genes alone can't explain this anymore, a pure genetic disease can't rise over a certain percentage per year, simply because only a limited number of people can transmit the disease yearly, only a limited number of babies are born every year. A disease triggered by bacteria has no limits, it can spread much faster.
(there is likely a genetic predisposition though, some people are more prone to getting infected than others, just like some people tend to get colds really fast while others never get a cold. The actual genes involved in crohn and MAP that predispose is the NOD2/Card 15 gene, but many animals / humans without the modified gene are getting it too, it's just balancing the scale slightly in favor of people with the predisposition)
"The multi-centre Irish team said new cases have increased by 90% over the last ten years."
Once monkeys got involved many realised this was serious, since the physiology of monkeys is so close to us, so it's highly unlikely humans aren't getting sick from this.
"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection was documented in a colony of stumptail macaque monkeys (Macaca arctoides), with 29 (76%) of 38 monkeys infected and shedding organisms in feces. Thirteen deaths have occurred during the past five years.
These findings extend the natural host range of M. paratuberculosis to include nonhuman primates and add support to current suggestions that M. paratuberculosis may be pathogenic for humans."
Another reason for concern is that MAP is a mycobacteria like Tuberculosis, it's similar in many ways, it's intracellular, multiplies slow, hard to kill, etc, so far all the mycobacteria I know are cross-species, monkeys get infected with TB just like humans do, the idea that humans aren't getting sick from MAP in some way or another is very far fetched. The most likely candidate right now is Crohn's disease, but there are others like Type II Diabetes and some other diseases that might be involved.
Monkey with TB:
MAP has quite a number of different strains too, MAP found in goats is a different strain from the one found in cows for example, MAP is an incredibly advanced bacteria, it's able to adapt very well to it's host's conditions. Iron depleting the host for example has almost no effect on the bacteria, it has found very advanced pathways to steal iron from the host and stay alive under very harsh conditions.

OP is Crohns disease curable? Is it always fatal?
I love snails.
Originally posted by Belarion
It's not curable at this point, although there have been cases where people became symptom free, but they are extremely rare.
Crohn isn't usually fatal, it's a disease that is managed by antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to stop the cytokine that are causing the inflammation, together with a diet.
Johne's disease is usually fatal in animals since the cost of treating an animal is not worth it, and there's a high change that it infects the rest of the herd, so the animal is usually killed (and sometimes sadly turned into hamburgers when no one is looking).
There is a form of vaccination for Johne's disease, where they inject a small number of bacteria (often a combination of dead and live ones) under the skin of a newborn animal, but those animals do still get sick, but the disease tends to be less extreme than in untreated animals. The major benefit of this for farmers is that there is less chance of it spreading through feces since the shedding of bacteria is less extreme, so less chance of infecting the rest of the herd.
There's a few cases where the farmer has come into contact with the vaccination needle (by accident), those cases are really interesting to researchers, since it shows direct exposure from MAP to humans. There's a granuloma (reaction against the bacteria) reaction under the skin, very similar to crohn in the intestine, and it takes months before those farmers are healed.

"Gabriel approaches each of his bow's many strings with a masterful confidence, delivering a satisfyingly unified whole" – Classic Rock
The first of Peter's studio albums to have a proper title of its own, So was a watershed release in his career. Although experimentation was still high on the agenda (a mindset still enthusiastically fostered by producer Daniel Lanois), this 1986 record steered itself towards a poppier, more commercial sound, no more so than with huge, meaty hits Sledgehammer and Big Time.
Its marriage of the artistic and the commercial made for an indisputable success, with the album quickly sitting atop the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic. In the UK, its sales went triple-platinum; in the US, it went platinum five times over. It went on to claim the number 14 berth in Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums Of The Eighties poll.
Aside from some intriguing collaborations – with Laurie Anderson on This Is The Picture; with Kate Bush on Don't Give Up; and Youssou N'Dour on In Your Eyes – it was the unity of singer, band and producer that made So such a crucial record in the Gabriel canon.
"I think part of the reason So worked so well was that the band was really firing off each other. We had a great sound and production team, and it was sort of compact in the way it was put together. Red Rain is one of my favourite tracks from this record and is a good example of a band playing together with a lot of energy.
"Sledgehammer was obviously a big track from that record and was in part an homage to the music I grew up with. I loved soul music and this was a chance to work with some of the brass players who worked with Otis Redding. He was my all-time favourite singer. It was a fun thing to do around a great groove."

If you need a no-frills, no-nonsense road bike that just plain works, the Nashbar Hounder Single-Speed Road Bike is your match. With its super simple fixed gear drivetrain, it's designed to provide solid, dependable, low-maintenance transportation that always gets you where you need to go.
A rock-solid chromoly frame and fork at its core means this rig is able to withstand all the rigors of urban riding with aplomb. The ride quality of steel is like no other and it's built to last, too. A fixed gear drivetrain is the paragon of simplicity and its 42x16 gear ratio provides a good compromise for pedaling on flat to rolling terrain. And while this is a fixed gear bike, have no fear about slowing down as the Hounder features both front and rear caliper brakes to make sure you can stop on a dime without having to go into powerslide, lock-up mode and risk blowing out your quads. The flat handlebars provide a more upright and comfortable riding position while you'll roll in sweet bliss on bombproof Alex DC19 wheels and plush 700x28 rubber. Aesthetically it's primarily Henry Ford-inspired - you can have any color as long as it's black - with a touch of houndstooth on the down tube and seat tube that adds a touch of class.
The Hounder is great for college students, commuters, early season training and anyone who wants to experience cycling in its simplest, purest form.

Thoughts on Hounder
By Trying to lose weight.
from KY
Took off fixi gear and bought 16 freewheel. Other must upgrade is trashed old brake pads and added R55C3 (or C4). Calipers are light and identical so rear one does not allow room for mounting rack I have.
Awesome bike
By Hank the cow dog
from Laredo, Tx
This bike was a present for my 11 year old son. I bought the smallest one, 49 cm. Assembly was easy, the trickiest part was getting the front brake to space properly around the wheel after the brake lever has been pulled. It took a few minutes but was not that difficult, and the brakes do work well. I even rode it and had no problems.After reading some of the reviews about the brake problems I was hesitant to order one for my son. I thought I would replace the brakes if necessary, but luckily there was no need.The bike was a big hit with the neighborhood kids who had never seen a bike like this one.Great bike.

Could have been great...

About Me Commuter
If I'd reviewed this within the first 3 months of ownership, it would have been 5 stars. But after a little over a year, and around 3000 miles of city riding, it is down to 1 star and relegated to the junk heap. Sad but true. The Hounder worked great initially as a year-round commuter that I could not lose sleep over it being stolen, and with the addition of some 700X32 studded tires, worked well enough to get me through a tough Minnesota winter. I could live with the freewheel failing at 800 miles. I could even tolerate the wheels needing complete overhaul at 2500 miles, and proving to be so poorly assembled (cross-threaded axle) that I was unable to service adequately, and ended up replacing with a much improved sealed bearing wheelset. But when the bottom bracket needed replacing at 3000 miles, my very skilled LBS was completely unable to dislodge the old bottom bracket due to insufficient grease having been applied in assembly. I was left with salvaging what parts I could from the Hounder, and getting a new frame--which rides much better. The old frame is now junk. So, not bad if all you want from a bike is a year's use out of it, or if you only ride a few miles a year, but not recommended as a serious commuter, even as a beater. Or if you do, consider replacing the bottom bracket right away, and expect to be upgrading components regularly as they fail.

The unbeatable beater!
By Red Bike Boy
from Clermont/Orlando, FL
About Me Avid Cyclist
I've been riding my Hounder for about three years now, and it has become my favorite go-to bike. I was originally looking for a bike I could leave at my office and use for lunchtime rides that wouldn't be a huge loss if it disappeared. It is quite fast (more on that in a moment), yet durable enough to handle rough pavement and fly off the occasional curb as conditions require. I ride with the freewheel cog -- not that I don't enjoy riding fixed, but I detest losing momentum for corners, so I tend to go in too fast and low to not have a pedal strike on fixed gear.First, the single-pivot brakes are fine; the pads are junk. Spend a few bucks on some Kool Stop pads. Stopping: fixed. For most people, that should be about all that is really needed to make this a great daily beater.The 42X16 drivetrain is quite good in stop-and-go traffic, but it left me slightly undergeared to compete with the hipsters delivering for the local sub shop on their fixies. I replaced it with a 52T crank, since Orlando is so flat. The skinny-jeans set don't stand a chance of keeping up now, and the tougher sprint away from a light is more than made up for by the easy speed it maintains. Going: fixed.You do get used to the seat, with the disclaimer that most of my time on the bike has been 40 minutes/12.5 miles at a stretch.The pedals that came with it are okay. I bent them, but as expected with my gearing, I tend to pedal pretty hard. (At 6', 225#, one of my upper legs is greater in circumference than the torso of most Tour de France competitors.) I replaced them with some two-sided SPD/flat pedals so I can ride clipped in or not.The houndstooth pattern stickers come off easily and cleanly, and I like the black monochrome look much better. The handlebars and stem are ugly but sturdy, and I've seen no compelling reason to replace them. Same for the fork. In essence, this would be Batman's fixie, if he were much more minimalist than he is normally portrayed.

Solid Commuter/All-Around cheap bike
By Jumblejon
from Washington, D.C.
I have ridden the same Nashbar Hounder since 2009 with almost not issues. I have put anywhere from 2,000-3,000 miles on my Hounder from commuting, grocerie runs, and traveling around Washington, D.C. (I have no car). I put a rack on the back and through on a dairy crate for extra ease during grocery runs and commuting. After 5 years and several thousand miles, I still have the original wheels, seat, and brakes installed, I have replaced the brakepads twice. I use the original seat and setup and have had no issues with comfort, I will say it does take a bit to get used to, though!Other reviews mention the single-speed aspect, going up hills can be a challenge and I will sometimes have to walk my bike if it gets too steep. But, riding this thing will get you conditioned quickly! I just got a new bike with gears (hence the review now!) and I can get anywhere with ease now.TL;DR this bike is a great deal for the city commuter or someone looking for something to travel between 1-10 miles on a regular basis. I ride this bike 8-12 miles 5 days a week and often on the weekends to get places around the D.C. area.
bought it as a cheap fix
By yeezy
from PDX
I bought this as a cheap bike that I would feel ok with locking up at the bar and leaving it there overnight. Turns out this bike is awesome. Responsive and fast, I find myself riding it everywhere. Came packed super nicely and was assembled quickly. The only thing I want to replace so far is the pedals as I need some more grips.
Great Bike, Fun Ride.
By NaveNipreh
from Fort Myers, Fl
I ride this bike every day. The uncomfortable seat took some getting used to. I haven't flipped it to a coasting single speed, nor do I think I ever will. I love how it's trained me, and how experienced cyclists look at me like I'm crazy when they ride it. Like, "Why is this so hard?" Not convenient, but too much fun.

I liked it so much I bought another one
By Bill the Biker
from Hamptons, NY
I bought one of these bikes a few years ago, just so I didn't have to break out the road bike and shoes and bike pants every time I went biking. Especially when I was riding with others that didn't have an advanced road bike or I just wanted to ride to town or the beach. I ride this bike alot, As mentioned in some of these reviews, I don't have a problem with the seat, but others that have borrowed the bike say it's not comfortable, I don't have a problem with the brakes, they work, obviously not the best brakes you can get, but for the price I really like this bike. I have one in NY and bought another one for FL. Both places fairly flat and the one speed works great for those locations.

Soke Prof. Richard Morris - some questions
Hi all!
At first, I'm very sorry for my bad English: I have studied the language from zero level for some weeks without any teacher by small book only.
I'm an old karate-ka. My good friend and teacher (he don't speak English, he is good instructor and professional judge in contact MA) has an interest on Jujitsu International. He is former instructor for police and security. Therefore he is looking for real information on the organization. My teacher has some questions on Jiu Jitsu International and Soke Prof. Richard Morris. But unfortunately I can't help him because I can't find in Internet full real info on Soke Prof. Richard Morris, only some facts.
This thread isn't any disrespect to respected Soke Prof. Morris, but the looking for information only.
I know that many people of this forum are specialists in Jujitsu, are students of Soke Prof. Morris or are connected with Soke Prof. Morris and JJI (members). Therefore, I hope, this isn't any problem for you, because you know all about your teacher and leader.
Possibly, you can send me the info or direct links to the info on my teacher`s questions about Soke Prof. Richard Morris:
1. Soke Prof. Morris's Styles (for all styles: years of studying, teacher, place).
2. Soke Prof. Morris's Ranks (for all ranks: rank, year, style, organization, examiner).
3. Soke Prof. Morris's Teachers (his teachers' names, years, styles).
4. Soke Prof. Morris's Doctor degree (year of receiving, university, theme of doctoral dissertation, field of science).
5. Soke Prof. Morris's Professor title (year of receiving, university, the university where he is working, field of science, scientific articles, participation in scientific conferences).
6. Soke Prof. Morris's Soke title (year, organization, place, in which Japanese family style, from what Japanese head of family).
p.s. for moderator: If this forum isn't real place for the thread, please, relocate it (possibly, into Jujitsu forum?).
Thank you in advance!

No. This will be last chance, if the info isn't published in open access in any web-site or no any of jujitsu-ka knows the info.
I am nothing for Richard Morris, and nothing in Jujitsu, I think, it isn't good idea to disturb the respected person for simple and self-evident questions about non-secret information, what usually is published and open to all (as example, other person's analogical info is published in many other sites).
Soke R. Morris is very known person. There can be hundreds of people around the world with the same questions - but Soke R. Morris has too many other Jiu Jitsu actions (trainings, seminars, exams etc.), I can't ask him to spend his dear time for writing about self-evident.
Question: Possible there are Encyclopedias, magazine or any books with all need info?
I'm not convinced this isn't a troll job and at present I don't see this as MABS worthy.
Mihalis, this is a martial arts consumer advocacy website. Not a ... get them to do your own leg work, website.
How about you include a website link or some other evidence of this "Soke" and what your agenda and interest in this person.
Why are you asking, exactly?"To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".
~Ella Wheeler
I'll bite. Got Soke's on the brain right now..
Mihalis : http://www.jiu-jitsu-international.d...dan&Itemid=104
Edit: How did you get to this site write all that stuff with English as your second language yet you can't Google him?
The short answer is he is a Soke that appears to be self appointed or appointed by others in his own 'association/s'..

I'm moving this to YMAS.
If yo expect to keep this thread alive, heed some advice, do your own research and come up with your own conclusions.
How is it in Latvia? and again, why are you so interested in this person?"To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".

-You stimulate users to use Tor. Yes, this is right in Internet, thanks.
I personally haven't any interest in the info, all was described in my first post.
In your archives (thanks to Google) I have seen some posts from former Prof.Morris's students, therefore I have sent my questions to the forum.
But, if there aren't any informed jujitsu-ka or scientist, you can close the thread, because if I will receive the main info from other sources, I will not publish it here or in other places. My goal is help to my old friend only.
to others:
p.s. my book was Ogden's "Basic English". Unfortunately, I have studied half of its material only. Sorry, therefore I can have some mistakes in understanding of your posts. If you think, that I don't respect your opinion, please, re-write your post, using other words.

COLUMBIA CITY — A Michigan man was severely injured Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle accident.
Michael Plumley, 62, was airlifted to Fort Wayne by Parkview Samaritan with severe head and internal injuries after his motorcycle collided with a car on Ind. 9 near the south county line.
Police were called to the area of 1000 S. Ind. 9 at approximately 5 p.m. after Plumley's motorcycle hit a car driven by Denise Brewster, 62, of Huntington.
According to a crash report by Whitley County Sheriff's Deputy Tony Helfrich, both Plumley and Brewster were southbound on Ind. 9, when Plumley attempted to pass Brewster.
Brewster was making a left-hand turn, colliding with Plumley and ejecting him from his motorcycle.

When the city officials arrived at the Jan. 21 meeting, commissioners left their usual seats up front and pulled up chairs around a table in a gesture that appeared to have the purpose of making their counterparts feel at home and welcome.
The panels were both complete, with all elected commissioners and councilmen in attendance.
Current Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax collections began in July of 2009 and will end in June of 2015, and renewing the sales tax this year ensures there will be no lapse in collections.
City officials quickly made it clear that they were happy with the current SPLOST percentage, which is 19.2. Councilman Benny Gray was the first city representative to state that the council was united in that decision.
"If you all agree, we can all go home now," he said.

White: Think long and hard before signing contract with Bellator - Mixed Martial Arts News
The judge must not have done his homework if he's agreeing that Spike TV and FOX are the same platforms," exclaimed White. "They're so f---ing far apart, it's not even funny. It's two different f---ing universes.
"I saw in their argument where they said, Oh, Spike launches pay-per-views.' No, actually they don't. That's not true. We did. What they're doing is, they're saying -- not as much Spike, as Viacom -- has been saying, We built the UFC.' No you f--king did not. No you did not, you arrogant, pompous jackass. You did not build the UFC. We'll see if you did."
"It's ridiculous. I don't know how a court or a judge couldn't see that. And even if they said, You know what, let's really dive into this thing. Let's see what the lowest pay-per-view is the UFC has ever done. Let's see if we can find out what a low number is, what a high number is, and let's see if we can find a right number that Eddie Alvarez should be paid.' There's got to be some middle ground there. Say, okay, depending on what pay-per-view he would have been on, this is maybe what he should have been paid. Find a middle ground, and pay the kid what he should've been paid. There's nothing wrong with this whole situation as long as Eddie Alvarez gets paid.
"This isn't one of those situations where you're talking about, Poor little Bellator.' Viacom owns Bellator. They're the owners of Bellator. They pull the triggers. They make the money. They have the money, they decide what's going on over there.
"These are boxing guys, man. This is what boxing guys do. They sue everybody. They're always in court, every 15 minutes. So this is something, this Eddie Alvarez situation, if you look at the 13-year history of the UFC, and our relationship with fighters, and what we've done, there's always going to be a situation where guys need more money. Everybody wants to make more money. You guys want to make more money. Everybody needs to make more money. That's never going to change. That's in all of sports, okay?
"But you better think long and hard if you're a manager or a fighter and you're about to do a deal with Bellator. Think long and hard about how you negotiate that contract."

Address: One Garden State Plaza, Paramus, NJ, 07652
- Hours:
- 10:00 - 21:30 ( Mon - Sat ) closed ( Sun )
Westfield Garden State Plaza is a large upscale shopping mall in Paramus, New Jersey, United States, owned and managed by the Westfield Group. Broadly, it is located at the intersection of Route 4 and Route 17 near the Garden State Parkway in Bergen County, New Jersey. With 1,987,000 ft² (184,592m²) of lettable space, it is the largest mall in New Jersey and, behind the Roosevelt Field Mall at 2,189,941 square feet (203,000 m²) gross, the second-largest mall in the New York City metropolitan area, neck-and-neck with Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York. Its department store anchors are J.C. Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, and it is across Route 4 from an IKEA, Sports Authority, Bed, Bath and Beyond, and a Christmas Tree Shops.
Westfield Garden State Plaza ranks among the largest shopping malls in the United States, having been ranked 18th largest in the United States by the American Studies department at Eastern Connecticut State University Shopping Mall Studies. The Westfield Garden State Plaza is the largest mall in the Westfield Groups' global portfolio in terms of letable area. This is significant given that Westfield is the largest retail property group globally.
The mall had sales of $578 per square foot in 2005, about 50% above the national average, according to the Directory of Major Malls. Garden State Plaza is one of the most profitable malls in the country.History
Celebratory sign seen in the Mall in 2007.
Garden State Plaza was built in 1957 by the Muscarelle Construction Company for owner/developer R.H. Macy & Co. as an open-air shopping "plaza". Its groundbreaking design differed from today's "Big Box" shopping areas in that, rather than having its tenants strung around the periphery of one large parking lot, the stores, except for those more suited for out-parcels (e.g. automotive repair and retail), were clustered on a shopping island, encircled by a mote of parking lots, much like today. Connecting the stores were open-air sidewalks, complete with benches, plantered trees and other vegetation. This model approximated a "downtown" pedestrian mall, at the same time serving as a precursor of the latter-day enclosed and air-conditioned shopping malls. Eventually it would siphon most of the retail business from nearby downtown Paterson, whose Meyer Brothers and Quackenbush department stores (later Stern's-Quackenbush) would fall upon hard times and melt into history.
Garden State Plaza drew much business from nearby New York towns and cities, whose shoppers wandered across state lines to take advantage of New Jersey's lower sales taxes and its policy that exempted clothing purchases from sales tax.
The original anchor was Bamberger's (owned by R.H. Macy since 1929). Gimbel's and J.C. Penney were added shortly thereafter in a second development phase. The mall was subsequently enclosed between 1981 and 1984 in response to competitive pressure from newer fully enclosed malls such as the Willowbrook Mall in nearby Wayne.
Nordstrom opened its first New Jersey location in May 1990, building a $37 million, 272,000 sq ft., three-level store on the former Gimbel's site.
In 1996, Garden State Plaza marked the completion of a $200 million expansion and major remodeling project that added over 700,000 sq ft (65,000 m²). of retail space and two 4 level parking structures with a bank of 2 elevators situated in a small lobby on the 3rd and 4th floors. On the 1st and 2nd floors, the elevators and parking structures connect directly to the mall. JCPenney grew by 62,000 sq ft (5,800 m²). to 150,000 sq ft., and two new anchors were added, a 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m²). Neiman Marcus on 3 levels and a 135,000 sq ft (12,500 m²). Lord & Taylor on 2 levels, both targeted at the upscale fashion-conscious shopper.Anchors
Macy's (Opened 1957 as Bamberger's; converted to Macy's 1986; one of the largest locations in the chain) (435,000 sq ft. on 3 levels)
Nordstrom (Opened 1960 as Gimbels; converted to Hahne's 1987, closed & demolished 1988, reopened as Nordstrom 5/1990) (246,000 sq ft. on 3 levels)
JCPenney (Opened 1960; expanded 1996) (176,700 sq ft. on 3 levels)
Neiman Marcus (141,000 sq ft. on 3 levels) - Opened 1996

The severe line of showers and thunderstorms that rolled through Aiken County Wednesday night brought with it heavy rain and gusting winds, which downed at least one tree and caused flash flooding.
A severe thunderstorm warning issued by the National Weather Service remained in effect in Aiken County until 8:48 p.m. Earlier in the day, the service issued a tornado watch for the area that was scheduled to be in effect until 1 a.m. today. Seventeen other counties in South Carolina were included in the watch. In Aiken County, the watch was canceled at around 9:30 p.m.
As a precaution, Aiken County Public Schools cancelled all afternoon and evening activities Wednesday, and some businesses, like Groucho's Deli, closed early.
Aiken Public Safety reported Wednesday night that the storm downed a tree on Chukker Creek Road, which was cleared, and caused flash flooding in some areas like Whiskey Road.
SCE&G reported Wednesday night that over 1,000 power outages had occurred in Aiken County, affecting more than 51,000 customers. It was unclear at press time if any Aiken Electric Cooperative customers had reported power outages.
Meteorologists reported that a number of factors helped build the storm system's strength. They included unseasonably warm, wet air that southerly winds had pushed up from the Gulf of Mexico. That air was met by cold air coming in from the Plains via Canada. Unusually high winds drove the cold air eastward.
The storm system moved across the Southeast Wednesday, causing tornadoes and winds that flipped cars on Interstate 75 in Georgia, destroyed homes and businesses and killed at least two people, according to The Associated Press. At least 12,200 were left without power in Georgia.
The Associated Press reported that in Tennessee, officials confirmed that a tornado with peak winds of 115 mph touched down in Mount Juliet, Tenn. No serious injuries were reported even though the path of damage was about 150 yards wide. At least six other tornadoes were reported statewide.

Hilbert Scores On and Off the Court
Mount Aloysius takes the game, 79-45
- Release Date:

HAMBURG, NY: The Hilbert women's basketball team played inspired basketball during their last home game of the 09-10 season against Mt. Aloysius College. The Hawks put a total team effort on and off the court, but the Mounties from Cresson, PA were too much for the home team and took the game 79-45. Sophomore Julie Bossard (Arkport, NY/Canisteo-Greenwood) lead Hilbert with 17 points and 11 rebounds for her second double double of the season. Mt. Aloysius got 20 points from Emily McKenna (18 at half time). Sophomore Mary Zinni (Batavia, NY/Batavia) hit for 15 points (3-5 from long range) for the Hawks.
Mt. Aloysius shot 38% from the floor and had 26 steals for the day. Those stats combined with the Hawks turnovers established the outcome. The half time score saw the Mounties up by 21 but being out rebounded by the Hawks by 7. All of the "Hilbert eight" continued with the same intensity and effort in the second half but the team had too much ground to make up from the first 20 minutes. For the game, the Hawks won the battle of the boards (43-34) but lost the game on the 42 points scored off their 36 turnovers.
In addition to the work on the floor, the Hawks pulled together to support the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's PINKZONE initiative during the month of February. The team sold shirts and hosted a bake sale on Saturday and raised $150.00 to donate to the Kay Yow / WBCA Cancer Fund associated with the Jimmy V Foundation. This is the team's 3rd year associated with the WBCA nationwide event to raise awareness for early cancer screening.
The Hawks finish the season out next week with road games at Behrend (Wednesday, 17th) and Frostburg (Saturday, 20th).
