These were some books that really made a mark this year in raising political consciousness about crucial issues. From U.S.-Arab relations to the meanings of "health," from the corporatization of the academy to the fault lines in the global economy, these books make a significant contribution in clarifying the deeper context of the news of the day.
Rice University historian Ussama Makdisi, one of the rising stars in Middle Eastern studies, rejects the notion of a civilizational clash between the Arab wold and America. Arabs used to hold a favorable view of America until well into the twentieth century, yet misguided American policies have caused alienation that persists to this day. Exploring the history before the current stasis offers a much-needed way forward to revive mutual trust and admiration.
How is "health"--that most politically charged of terms--ideologically reproduced? Behind the universal yearning for more "health" are hidden biomedical biases, the "morality" of health shifts responsibility to individuals and the marketplace, corporate interests define health to make new anxieties the mass norms, and research limits the way particular illnesses can be talked about. The unpacking, from many different directions, is most timely.
Cornell law professor Aziz Rana explores the American political tradition by placing immigration, citizenship, and marginality at the forefront. Settler ideals, grounded in self-rule, prevailed until the mid-twentieth-century, when at last they were eclipsed by new notions of security. Can settler ideals be revived, with freedom for all, without subordination to the principle of empire?
Veteran journalist John Gallagher reimagines a better future for Detroit, not by repopulating the devastated deindustrialized city, as the popular prescription would have it, but by planning for shrinkage, which can be a spur to sustainable growth. How can the urban economic engine be revived, without giving in to the dead-ends of past policies?
Prominent historian Michael A. Bellesiles, author of the important study Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture, focuses on the year 1877 to explore a nation on the verge of industrial transformation; while violence and unrest roiled the country, there were also important cultural developments that would define the nation's future.
Historian Steven E. Woodworth offers a sweeping portrait of America in the 1840s, in its most expansive mood. Underneath the unprecedented optimism, however, were boiling tensions that would soon erupt in war.
Fletcher School professor Bhide argues that modern finance has become too centralized and abstract, whereas real economy decisions call for different orders of judgment. Bhide debunks advanced finance theories,and offers simple rules to restore subjective judgment.
How did we go from rising prosperity and increasing equality to flattened incomes and pessimism about the future? Historian Cowie chronicles, by connecting politics and culture, how we went from the radicalism of the 1960s to being sold on the patriotic promise of Ronald Reagan.
Schrecker is one of our major historians of the culture wars, and here she chronicles the assault universities face from pressure groups dissatisfied with the liberal academy, and from those who want to intimdate scholars engaged in Middle Eastern studies. In addition, private-sector influence has crossed the bounds to the extent that university has become enslaved to corporate America.
Should Bush administration officials have been prosecuted for breaking the law in the war on terror? Contributors argue for and against prosecution.
Rajan, former chief economist of the IMF, met with Alan Greenspan and other economic leaders at Jackson Hole in 2005, presenting a paper that was received skeptically: "Has Financial Development Made the World Riskier?" His worst fears came true, of course, and in this book he underlines the hard choices still to be made to correct global imbalances.
Why did the post-war European art film rise in America, and why did it decline? Such films as Open City, Bicycle Thief, La Dolce Vita, and L'Avventura played a key role in impacting American culture. With Hollywood's abolition of censorship codes, the art film movement went into decline.
Who were the pioneers of pollution? Long before the current stalemate on dangers like lead, chromium, pesticides, and smog, crucial decisions manipulated by interest groups prevented the kind of environmental regulation that would have prevented some of the worst problems.
Shaw and Youngblood focus on ten iconic films--including Rambo: First Blood Par II on the American side, and Spring on Zarechnaya Street on the Soviet side--to explore how the war of ideas played out in the cinematic realm during the Cold War.
Professor of communication and journalism, A. J. Langguth discusses Andrew Jackson's policy of driving out the Cherokees at gunpoint from Georgia, by providing firsthand accounts of the march known as the Trail of Tears, with serious consequences leading ultimately to the Civil War.
Markets have come to be seen as excluding no commodity or service. But what about noxious markets like prostitution, the sale of organs, or markets in pollution? How should we be guided in thinking of these markets?
Influential Italian historian of political thought, Carlo Galli, argues that globalizaton requires us to "rethink the relationship between space and politics." What kind of space is global political space, and what kind of politics is appropriate for it?
The Austrian-born philosopher advocates an exit to consumerist capitalism by switching to non-consumerist modes of living; he anticipated the global economic meltdown of 2008, and condemns the real economy becoming hostage to speculative bubbles.

China-Japan tensions
With all the attention on North Korea, perhaps Eurocentric blogs like this one should be keeping a closer eye on the increasing "bilateral estrangement" between China and Japan.
The tensions are palpable at the elite level, such as the recent tensions over the Senkaku Islands near Taiwan. A lot of this has to do with access to potential oil reserves in the area.
But they are even more serious at the cultural level. Football matches between the two countries are not a pretty sight, and there are suggestions that "anti-Japanese nationalist sentiment is now being exploited to boost the Communist leadership's waning ideological authority".
Much of the Chinese anger geared towards Japan relates to the sense that Japan has not adequatly atoned for its crimes during the Second World War. A major sticking point is Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visits to the Yasakuni Shrine in Tokyo, where Japanese war dead, including a number considered war criminals, are buried.
The Japanese are concerned about the Chinese military and arms sales to it by Israel and the European Union. And according to Simon Tisdall in the Guardian, Russia is siding with Japan because it shares this concern.

Can anyone share experiences camping in the marked [AC1-9] campsites?
I am particularly interested in AC-7, the one "across" the river. Is the stone dam walkable, or is wading the only way to portage equipment across.
What are the chances/likelihood of someone stealing one's equipment while on a ride or hike?
Last time I stayed in DR area, I stayed at the campground, $10 a night [old timers discount ]. It is secure but was really a pain Friday night when the families and kids arrived. Showers were nice though .

The family of a man who died as a result of a collision on a hospital car park earlier this month have paid tribute to their loving father.

Is that you? #31.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply divideby0 + 2303d ago MS is finally getting to "Failure rates are within industry standards", after they openly lied about the initial faulty design and pulled the biggest shame in video gamming history... if you think otherwise, you are wrong. the newer units will have acceptable (to me 0 is more like it, but not practical) failure rates. #32 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply NotSoSilentBob + 2303d ago Anyone stupid enough to buy/accept a second 360 after theirs breaks isn't going to know or learn quality. They get what they pay for. #33 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply JonnyBigBoss + 2302d ago Amen, Brotha. #33.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply divideby0 + 2302d ago I was 3 times stupid and stuck on dumb..since I am on my 3rd 360.. BUT I purchased the EB 50 buck walk in get another unit... I am a true gamer, so I just bit the 100 bucks in warranties. Here is where MS is just a bunch of dirt bags....after they acknowledged the know problems of the 360 and offered free repairs, I gave them my 2 previous units serial #s cost of the 2 warranties I purchased and they wouldnt reimburse me, cause they HAD NO RECORD.. Lie-ing theives, even with all my documentation they told me to pound salt.. #33.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Sibs + 2303d ago Hm, one of the comments on that site has a valid point. Microsoft probably did create the Arcade to be a cheap replacement console. Not only does it stop people from complaining, they get a free console sales number. #34 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply moscardini7 + 2303d ago ohhhhhthis never get old,hehehe #35 Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply No_NaMe + 2303d ago Nice Bullsh** for Fanboys.Completely bullsh** jasper are fine , ofc some get mrrod like Ps3 got Ylod...its normal. #36 Agree(2) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply Cherchez La Ghost + 2303d ago I must be lucky..I have one of the first launch 360 Elites. I had two RRoD before. I just unplugged it. Took a blower for my air mattress and blew inside it. I had so much dust blowing out it was crazy. I did this for about 45 seconds. Then I took my hose from my vacuum cleaner to get the rest out. After that, no problems again. I also use the Intercooler EX. The only 360 that died on me was my launch system I got November 2005. If this would consistently happened to me, I wouldn't even go pass 2 purchases. #37 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply tatotiburon + 2303d ago fake #38 Agree(1) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply militant07 + 2303d ago im on my second ( i have 2 because no warrenty in my country) and ruuning for 1.5years and still going. إن شاء الله مايصير فيها شي #39 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply No_NaMe + 2303d ago FakeJasper models are fine -- 2-4% Failure , its better than Ps3 now. Still not better than MAC and ipod---Less than 2%...Apple Products ofc those never broke. #40 Agree(1) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply maspi + 2303d ago every version of xbox360 will have inevitably hardware failures due engineering mistakes. #41 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply meetajhu + 2303d ago hahahhhhahahahahhahThis coming November Microsoft is going to announce a new chip. Which will fix its own problems. Every one will buy it and say PS3 sucks. What a life. Go get a PS3 and enjoy gaming! This was EPIC: As I learned in the book "The Race For a New Game Machine," Microsoft was in a rush to get their Xbox 360 system out before their competitor, Sony's PLAYSTATION 3. Microsoft may have made it out of the gate first, but it's a price they're paying for dearly now, and in the long run. The hasty release is also costing you, the consumer. #42 (Edited 2302d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Ninjamonkey + 2302d ago FFS Surely MS could fix it, i dont care if it costs them millions what about consumer rights??? You have to wonder if theyre being slow to make more people buy second 360's to make the console seem more popular than it is... Seriously if your 360 is nearly out of warranty just buy another years warranty, dont just leave it to chance becuase you never know you might just end up buying a new 360... #43 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Rowsdower + 2302d ago n4gis like a time warp, I feel like I'm reliving the last three years over and over, cant we just have a fanboy section, and leave the rest of the site heavily moderated 360 rrod ps3 is doomed enough already #44 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply miasma + 2302d ago Funny...My xbox360 just RROD for the second time this past week, after having it fixed a year ago. Only reason I am getting it fixed again is because it is still under warranty. If and when it finally goes permanently, there won't be another one. Thank goodness for my PS3... #45 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Poopface the 2nd + 2302d ago ahahahahaI believe you. Especially because you have a PSN tag but no GT. Just like the people complaining the most, no GT. #45.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply miasma + 2302d ago Ummm...I don't have a GT because I don't play online with my xbox 360. #45.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Neo604 + 2302d ago bu bu but but Jasper.RROD 4life. #46 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Saaking + 2302d ago Oh, but I thought MS fixed the issues? lmao, you bots won't learn right. MS will never fix RROD because guess what, RROD makes them sell more when all the morons whose 360 breaks buy a new one. #47 Agree(10) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply MaximusPrime + 2302d ago Most reliable console in this order: - Nintendo Wii - Sony PS3 - Microsoft Xbox 360 PS3's failure rate is very minimal. Im one of the few people with so-called "yellow light of death" PS3. So all this report of xbox360 failed consoles is much much worse than ps3. You got to accept that there have been more RRoD news than YLoD #48 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply peeps + 2302d ago certainly. and i'm sure for years to come we will still be seeing ylod and rrod's. it's just when either console has a major hardware fault. i've had 2 360's now and 2 ps3's lol i just accept that hardware doesn't last forever. i mean my 360 lasted about a year and a half before i needed a new 1 and the ps3 lasted just over 2 years. #48.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply SixAmpFuze + 2302d ago I honestly cant believe people are on 5 6 or 9 xboxs. My launch xbox went out last month, What are you people doing to them. On a side note my ps3 that is 9 mo old went out 2 times.GG next gen #49 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply nightelfmohawk + 2302d ago Only a lemming would put up with this bull ****.This isn't directed at the author of the article. Lemmings really amuse me. The could.go to a restaurant and have the cook piss in their drinks, ejaculate in their food, charge them for each napkin, and they would defend the restaurant and go back again and again and again if M$ owned the restaurant and the restaurant had "Halo" in the name. Pathetic. What happened to consumers that had balls and that demanded more from their products? It's sad what some gamers will put up with now. #50 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply sak500 + 2302d ago I guess sony is now bribing bloggers to post this nusiance fake information. Or maybe you play with your xbox in sauna. I had to RRODs on my 2 systems in 2006. One bought in jan 06 and another in may 06. Both were fixed free but had to pay for shipping for one to germany from UAE. At that time the UAE still did not have 360s officially launched. Anyway since 2006 mid i've been using both machines on and off and have played cod4/BF continously for 7-8 hours on weekends and almost every day use it for viewing movies etc. SO why am i surprised to hear about people having 8-10 failures ? There is something fishy about this story and sony's money behind it. #51 Agree(2) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply Poopface the 2nd + 2302d ago its funny thatthe people with the most RRoDs are the same people who never show their gamertags. Alot of them even have a PSN tag but no GT. And silver is free. I had one 360 get 1 Ring of death after I sold it to my friend. my 360 hasnt broken yet. Im lucky. I dont think its sony, I think its the same people trying desperately to get people to switch. The people who care the most are the ones without 360. When the author puts up a GT with an actual gamer score ill believe it, until then Ill stick to believing the RRoD stories from people who can prove they actually had a 360. #51.1 (Edited 2302d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply kobonline + 2302d ago Another flamebait articleAnd you fan boys eat it all up.

I'm a fair man, but I don't see any other evidence other than his say-so. I want to see credible sources listed such as Xbox-Scene or Max Console because I don't believe this.

She was like :O - I have three tickets. So next weekm I'm flying around the corner, and there he is - the cops of all cops, a state trooper. $250 down the drain). #54.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Hutch2355 + 2302d ago Is it me, or is this the first time I have read anything about the jasper chip rrod.I could be wrong, but lookign back at this guys comments, he only mentions rrod once in all his comments, if I was on number 9 I would have been on everyone of these crying about it. Sounds fishy. Not to say that rrod is fake, I know I lost my launch system after a couple of years and the second one is still rolling. Has there been a huge outbreak of rrod on jasper chips, I haven't heard of any, just this guy. I lost my wii a month ago. Dead pixels, so they said, I had to pay for 10 dollar shipping but that was it. No prob with my ps3 so far. Ps1 x3 ps2x2. xbox no broken, gamecube x2 so for me broken consoles are nothing new. Sucks to be this guy if its true. #55 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Campy da Camper + 2302d ago @gintokiSame for me. I went thru 4 of 'em, but all had replacement plans from Best Buy so I was able to trade 'em out each time. It just got old, every few months having to take it back in there. I am officialy a proud PS3 only owner and have never looked back. And what pissed me off is I called in to Xbox support once to ask WTF is going on with these things and the guy asked me how much I used it. I told him 4-5 hours a night and most of the day on the weekend. He told me they were not meant to be used for such long periods! I'm like, er, hello, I'm a gamer. It's what I do! You're telling me to only play for an hour or two then stop so it doesn't overheat? Fuk that! #56 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply peeps + 2302d ago i imagine it will always be a problem... hardware doesn't last forever BUT it's nowhere near as much of a problem as it used to be. ppl who think we'd never see the rrod again are very naive. anyway i've had 2 360's and 2 ps3's... it's just electrical hardware and i can think of very few that never break, if any. #57 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Midgard228 + 2302d ago honestly stop buying that craponly reason mine hasn't broke is cuz i dont play it. wtf why do u keep playing? halo isnt that good #58 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply XDF + 2302d ago This article is fake...The article doesn't even describe how she got the 8 RROD but link to various rants from other sources.

Hey, it is a RROD article after all, so I wouldn't expect anything less than a few negative comments from you. Have a great time with this thread. LOL The "bi" avatar you spoke about, yes I am proud to display a Xbox and a Playstation mascots because unlike somebody, I am a proud owner of both consoles. #59.4 (Edited 2302d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Apocalypse Shadow + 2302d ago ummm.... no.you only show that you are proud of one system.there is never a "GOOD" comment about ps3 from you.that much is certain. maybe i was wrong.and you are more "two faced" than even minded. i don't support gouging gamers for money with expensive,monopolistic accessories like wifi and hdds.instead of fair market prices.i don't support paying to play when others offer it for free. and i definitely wouldn't support shoddy hardware as i know better and research my purchases before buying.and 360 was breaking from the start.a european repair shop said it was "endemic" and refused to repair it anymore until microsoft decided to set aside a billion and a 3 year warranty. smart shoppers or smart consumers wouldn't bother.but most of you didn't care or care now that it still breaks as you have been given a pacifier to avoid recalls and lawsuits.suggesting that most buyers of 360 are young.and the xbl community is a good indicator being that most are teens. didn't effect you,but it effects others.and your support gives way for consumers to bend over for future shoddy work.which your are already doing. apocalypse.................. #59.5 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply JonnyBigBoss + 2302d ago Well, my buddy Andy just had his 4th Xbox 360 break on him 2 weeks ago, and it still hasn't come back. The worst part about it is that the 3-year warranty is about to expire in a few months. Really, the RROD issue is totally understated by most people. Reliability is a much more important thing than most people give credit for. I personally drive a Toyota Camry, and I have had 0 issues with it except for my driver window getting stuck at times. I see people on the road with Jaguars all the time, and can't help but think to myself that they must have to spend thousands of dollars and dozens of hours fixing issues popping up with their car. It's a shame that so many people don't value longevity and reliability. #60 Agree(2) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply sak500 + 2302d ago Oh really and my friend Mandy had her 5th ps3 broken just after the 30 days' warranty. Guess what she had to pay 200$ to get it fixed. The ps3s are losing it this gen. #60.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply madpuppy + 2302d ago @jleack, that is a great analogy, did you ever notice that when people complain about the faliure rate of the 360,(which is a proven fact) they always bring up some story about either themselves or "a friend" having their PS3 fail like 10 times? and that somehow the PS3 has the same failure rate or worse? (which is false) @sak500, it sounds like your friend "mandy" might be putting her PS3 on the carpet in front of her TV when she uses it. that is the only reason I can think of that would cause any console to fail at 100%. you see carpet carries a static charge and will kill a console in a matter of weeks. but, that is my best guess for such a high failure rate of her specific PS3 console. #60.2 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply sak500 + 2302d ago @mad sorry to have you come up ways to justify what i wrote earlier. But what i wrote was just made up to show that anyone can write about anything. No need to believe anything u read on the forums or internet for that matter unless there proper evidence is provided. Some random blogger can up and write w/o evidence has as much credibility as what i wrote in my earlier comment. #60.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply madpuppy + 2302d ago @sak500, blah, blah, blah the friend of a friend of a friend had to replace his PS3 1000 times.How many time I have to read this angry, knee-jerk reply to the 360's lousy, totally admitted by Microsoft, unreliable track record from 360 fanboys. #60.4 (Edited 2302d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply « 1 2 3 4 » Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Listened to BBC radio tonight and heard a segment on Zambikes.Went online and searched...watched a video on YouTube.(don't know how to put a link here and the address is way too long to copy)
Zambikes is a Zambian company initiated by American missionaries that builds a strong,well built bicycle.

The Marinette County District Attorney has filed a criminal complaint against the Wausaukee man involved a crash Friday night that claimed the life of a 13-year-old Ishpeming boy.
Twenty-eight-year-old Timothy Christ is facing eight criminal counts, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Police say Christ pulled out of the parking lot of a bar on US-141 in Middle Inlet around 11:30 p.m.
According to the complaint, Christ was driving northbound in the southbound lane with his lights off when he collided head-on with a car driven by Jodi Betts Croley.
Her son, 13-year-old Christopher Croley, was killed in the crash.
Mrs. Croley and her two daughters, 17-year-old Taylor and 16-year-old Gabrielle, were seriously injured and remain hospitalized in Green Bay.
On Monday the Ishpeming School District had their crisis team in place at the schools, as staff and students cope with the loss of the teenager.
Police say Christ had a blood alcohol level of .26. He also has a previous drunk driving conviction.
Christ was in court on Tuesday morning and his bond was set at $200,000. The defense asked for a $10,000 bond, due to Christ not being considered as a flight risk. The assistant district attorney requested a more than $100,000 bond.
Christ will be back in court on November 1 at 1 p.m. for his preliminary hearing.

The bad: Riley hasn't proved that he will take conditioning seriously and therefore occasionally wears down late in games. When he gets tired, his technique gets sloppy. He is still raw in certain elements of his technique and needs to learn some finer points of line play. He is not a natural knee bender and can lose leverage at times as a drive blocker. He occasionally loses his balance when he's asked to adjust to quick moves or secondary maneuvers, though he can maul an opponent once he locks onto him.
Outlook: Riley can be explosive, but he needs to improve his footwork to challenge for a starting role. Riley has the tools to emerge as a surprise, but he needs to improve his technique and strength. He's a good second-gamble with boom-or-bust potential.

I had to add two links to my ss chain to allow the axel to move rearward enough to allow for knobbie tires and fenders in preparation for winter. Chain tension was perfect before but is now allowing about 1.5 inches of pull down slack even when the axel is in the rear-most position allowed by the drop out.
I was thinking I would have to get a chain tensioner when planning that move but I have ridden about 60 miles on the loose chain without it jumping. So am I still at risk of it jumping? Do I have other problems to worry about now, like premature wear? I am just trying to get a feel for my level of risk by running a slack chain.

I side with kirk55555 in this arguement but wish Abrams well in his attempts to return Star Wars to a higher level. If he is not writing, I think as a director he will be ok. I disagreed with nearly every writing decision in Star Trek. Hated the lensflare no end, but thought his overall direction and shot choices were good enough.
As director, the lens flares were part of his direction and shot choices. And you can be damned well sure he'll use them in SW.

The Defense Stimulus
A key to American recovery and reinvestment.
3:36 PM, Jan 13, 2009 • By THOMAS DONNELLY
Larger public good. The value of American global leadership in an era of economic and geopolitical uncertainty cannot be stressed too highly. The security of worldwide commerce depends upon safe, cheap and uninterrupted flows of goods and service through a variety of "commons" -- the seas, air, space and cyberspace -- that are protected every day by U.S. military forces. Their presence helps to preserve the industrial world's access to natural resources and protect the interests of allies and trading partners.
By any measure, defense should comprise a vital component of any stimulus package. This is a matter of economic good sense and, frankly, fairness to the men and women serving our country in a time of war. The Pentagon can intelligently and easily support $20 billion in additional spending per year; critically, this would continue the program to expand the Army, which will remain stretched by deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, by 30,000 soldiers per year. Such investments would not only create thousands of jobs across the country -- and preserve jobs at risk from premature program terminations -- but promote American exports and create a secure environment for global economic recovery.
As will be the case with all stimulus spending proposals, it will be necessary to integrate defense stimulus plans with the normal Pentagon budget process to minimize programmatic mischief and ensure the best value for the taxpayer. Nonetheless, based upon the Defense Department's current budgets and five-year plan, it is possible to suggest obvious areas where additional spending makes sense; adding $20 billion to the baseline defense budget, approximately $520 billion for 2009, is an increase of less than 4 percent, an easily "digestible" amount. Potential additions include:
The Army's "Grow the Force" initiative. Recruiting and training an additional 20,000 soldiers per year would cost about $3.5 billion. The pace of current operations -- driven by the requirements of Afghanistan and Iraq -- has proved the need for more troops.
Creating and equipping an additional 4 Stryker brigades. This family of wheeled combat vehicles has done yeoman service in Iraq and as the Army expands it should add more Stryker units. An additional 250 per year would cost about $550 million annually.
Maintain F-22 production. The Air Force originally wanted 750 Raptors, but the line will end in 2009 after the purchase of just 183. Close allies like Japan and Australia would like to purchase the fighter. Renewing the final 3-year procurement would secure an additional 20 aircraft per year at $4 billion annually.
Sustain C-17 production. The cargo aircraft has been key to the deployment of U.S. forces around the world. With no new production, "stop work" orders will be issued to suppliers in 2009. Restoring a rate of 12 per year would cost $3 billion annually.
Accelerate attack submarine production. The U.S. fleet of attack submarines will shrink from about 80 boats to approximately 35, too few to counter the rapid increase in Chinese submarine production and meet the Navy's own stated global requirements. Expanding production to three boats per year would not only restore an adequate force, but better utilize excess U.S. submarine-building capacity.
Build more Littoral Combat Ships. The Navy's fleet of surface combatants is also too small, both for traditional missions like antisubmarine warfare and the demands of irregular warfare such as anti-piracy patrols. The LCS is an effective and relatively inexpensive solution to these multiple requirements. Building three per year, to be split competitively between several shipyards, might cost $1 billion per year.

disappointing experience
The first thing we noticed was the strong smell of body odours in the room.
We managed to clear this by spraying perfume and opening Windows. The heating was uncontrollable. The room was poorly serviced, the waste bin was never emptied and used glasses were left in the room for the duration of our stay. We had to go to reception for tea and coffee for the room as this was not replenished. We were woke up each morning at 05:40 with the noise of machinery running, this continued throughout the day unroll approximately 20:00 hrs. There was also a lot of noise from neighbouring rooms and doors to service cupboards being banged shut. We arrived on the Sunday night and found that the restraint was closed. The breakfasts was better than the average self-service and the food was hot. The staff we talked to were all friendly but the room spoiled our stay. We would not stay in room 39 again.

Why This Man Has 40,000,000 Million Viewers
"Two and a Half Men," "The Big Bang Theory," "Mike and Molly": How perfectionist Chuck Lorre became primetime's top populist and what it all means
"You still arguing about whether tanning beds would kill vampires?"
[Solid laugh.]
"No, we decided that was silly."
[Modest laugh.]
It's mid-November and The Big Bang Theory cast, writers and producers are gathered around a table on Warner Bros.' Stage 25, reading through a draft of their latest script. Seated among them is showrunner Chuck Lorre, who's also responsible for two other CBS comedies, Two and a Half Men and Mike & Molly.
Lorre is TV's most successful, and busiest, sitcom producer.
As the actors perform their lines, the 58-year-old Lorre sits at the head of the table, wearing his black leather jacket, laughing along with his team. Nearly every joke is playing well in the room, and it should — in one week, this episode will be shot before a live audience.
"Are you suggesting we live our lives guided by philosophies found in cheap science fiction?" says Mayim Bialik, who plays neurobiologist Amy on the show.
"Why not?" counters series star Jim Parsons. "Tom Cruise does it."
[Huge laugh].
Later, in private, Lorre is asked how the Big Bang table read went.
He looks mystified by the question, and almost offended by the obviousness of the answer.
Lorre says: "Terrible."
The comedies of Chuck Lorre collectively bring nearly 40 million viewers to CBS each week and many in Hollywood do not understand why. His shows are not critical darlings (though Big Bang gets positive reviews). They don't win many of the top awards. They don't have the aging hipness of NBC's The Office, the fresh acclaim of ABC's Modern Family or cultural buzz of Fox's Glee.
Lorre's shows simply have legions of fans, often overlooked; not in the country's elite margins but the expansive middle. And in a fall season where so many broadcast shows are sinking in the ratings, Lorre's comedies rule their time periods, unfazed by competition.
"None of us need any more hipness points," Men executive producer Eddie Gorodestsky says.
Which shouldn't lead you into thinking Lorre's comedies are somehow easier to make than others, or less of an accomplishment. Success on broadcast TV is rarely accidental. A showrunner actively managing three simultaneous and unrelated hits is nearly unheard of. And for some reason — and this is what we're going to try and figure out — Chuck Lorre makes these broad comedies better than anybody.
The first hint as to why he's been successful is back at that Big Bang table read. By day's end the "terrible" script has been rewritten. Lorre is quick to point out the writers didn't do anything wrong. This is the process. Or, at least, Lorre's process.
"We'll work on it over the weekend if need be," Lorre says. "And if we're not happy with what we shoot next Tuesday night, we'll rewrite it and shoot it again. You can't allow it to go on television until it's the very best thing you can make, because it's a fragile relationship with the audience. There's no reason for them to tolerate a bad show and come back."
What about, say, the Tom Cruise joke? That drew a big laugh.
"It's almost cheating," he says. "It's very unlike us to do a reference joke like that. It was funny and the moment was appropriate, it had Amy questioning Sheldon's reliance on pop fiction — that part seemed right, for another scientist to question this man's obsession. So that moment was, I thought, nice. But to throw a hand grenade at Scientology? We probably don't need that. We probably stepped over a line there. I think maybe it was self-indulgent. It will probably fall out of the script."
And that's Lorre, thinking about just one joke, on one show.

CustomerPaul from Athens TX
I needed to remove the front lower cover, very easy as it is held on with clips only so I used a flat head screw driver to pop it off. I had to remove the lint filter and then there are two screws attaching the top cover of the dryer to the internal lint filter tray. The top of the dryer can then be opened front to back I again used the flat head screw driver to pop the top open as it has two clips at the front corners. It helps to have someone to hold it open or a rod of some type to keep it open. You can now lay the belt on the top of the drum and work it down the back side by pulling forward on the drum itself to seperate the drum from the seal that presses aginst the back side of the drum. I then went from the lower front to retrieve the belt now draped over the drum and pinched the belt to pass it through the tensioner and over the drive pulley. looking at it from the front the belt will come down the right side of the drum under the tensioner pulley around the drive pulley across the bottom of the drum and up the left side. The belt sits almost in the middle of the drum not against the back lip where there is a groove that might be confused as a place for the belt to ride that is where the seal sits then reverse the process to reattach the top to lint tunnel and reattach front cover and you are good to go . i would suggest vaccuming any old dust/ lint whlie everything is open as this reduces the chance for catching on fire I was supprised as to how much lint was loose inside the dryer cavity itself and our dryer is gas and the flame is an open flame.

replaced motor and drum rear seal as well as idler wheels, the old rear drum seal was completly worn out, since I had it all apart, I replaced lint chute and trap seals and belt and tensioner. I spent less money on parts than if I would have bought a new dryer. The motor was the main problem as the bearings were shot.

The dryer motor quit working. Learned, if you are changing one that is old, get the blower wheel fan too! I could not break mine loose from the motor shaft, and had to bust it off. To un-screw the blower wheel fan from the motor shaft: from the front of the dryer, grab the plastic fan on the back of the motor with an adjustable wrench, and the motor shaft on the front of the motor with vice grips. Turn the motor shaft CLOCKWISE holding the fan still to un-screw the fan. If you have to remove the pulley, grab the shaft and turn the pulley COUNTERCLOCKWISE with a wrench.Just make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the new motor in the instructions. If you match the old motor, it will not fit. It is all spelled out in the directions.

Looking at the schematics, it wasn't clear exactly where the motor was located. I took off the rear panel thinking I could get to the motor through the blower. Realizing that was a no-go, I did some web searching and found that the lint screen chute had to be unscrewed, the top had to be lifted to gain access to the top 2 screws holding the front panel to to the main body. The barrel was then dropped and the rib belt removed from around it so I could set it aside. The clips were removed from the front and the back of the motor to gain access to the blower shaft. .The motor shaft is screwed into the blower shaft but it took me a while to figure out how to grab the blower shaft( made of hardened plastic?) with an adjustable wrench while torquing the end of the shaft with a (3/4"?) socket wrench. Access to the rear was rough, but getting the motor out an back in was easy. The spring tensioner for the belt was the next hurdle. With the s-curve facing outward and clipped to the base, the belt with the rib side wrapped around the barrel, the belt was slid between the roller and the tensioner bracket and wrapped around the motor drive rib side inward. I had to take the old motor to kind of prop up the barrel so I could at least see the tensioner and motor interface. I had to do a balance trick where I held the barrel up while centering it to the belt and the rear panel while ensuring the cloth seal was seated to the outside of the chamber. The front panel went on, and the front cloth seal was seated by spinning the barrel. The rest was just a matter of reversing the steps. Tons of lint/dust is probably what crashed this motor. Disassembling the front and the back allowed a thorough clean up - vacuuming and wipe down. Should go another 10 years/

Removed 2 screws in the lint filter and popped off the top. Removed the 2 screws holding the front panel on. Slid the drum off and set aside. Replaced support rollers. Placed the belt over the drum and placed the drum back in the dryer. Wound the belt over the tensioner and motor pulley. Turned the drum to keep seal from folding up. Replaced front and top. Tip: Use bungee cord or rope to hold top up and out of the way while doing this job.

Dryer started making noises years ago. Finally it was intermittently starting, then...didn't start at all. It made a buzzing noise, like the motor was in over-torque. Then it over heated and wouldn't do anything until it cooled down. Then the cycle started all over again. I thought it best to change out all the worn parts. Found the belt, the rear seal, the rollers and motor all needed to be replaced. All were very simple to do. Followed the instructions and videos from others located on this site.
CustomerSteven from Bridgewater MA
Prop up the hood of the dryer with flat bar. Take out 2 screws holding dryer front end and 2 switch screws for dryer light inside dryer door. Secure dryer drum with bungee cord. Lift front end and remove. Remove broken belt. Route new belt over drum and pass underneatch idler pulley at botttom of dryer. Apply pressure to idler pulley w/one hand while securing belt around motor with the other. Make sure drum seals are snug between front and back of dryer while putting everything back together. Have confidence. This is a very easy fix.
CustomerRobert from Manassas VA
through the help of Parts select web site, i diagnosed the problem to the limit switch at the dryer element...I found the parts at Parts Select that included both limit switches and one control thermostat in one convient part number, the help videos are excellent, and the repair went flawlessly... basically the dryer front was removed, and then the drum with belt, that allowed me to get to both dryer element limit switches,and then replaced the thermostat at the bottom of the dryer below the drum, I reassembled the unit and it is working like new... thanks Parts Select, you saved me a lot of money.

The top was hard to figure out but I found that it pops off at the front with a flat screw driver. Be careful not to scratch the paint. I found that a rear drum roller was bad and the drum seals were deteriorated. I ordered a new belt, roller kit, front, and rear seals. This way I hoped I will not have to take it apart again. The seal were the hardest parts to replace. Make sure you look and remember how they were on before removing them. The directions were not to clear on the seals. The rest were good. It is much better to do it once. Take a picture if possible, it might come in handy as I took mine apart a week or so before the parts came in. I also cleaned out all of the accumulated lint buildup with a shop-vac, including the vent pipe, heater area, and front door. When I was done with this it worked like brand new.

Before anything else, I would like to thank your company for a quick response and fast delivery of the parts that I ordered. Ordering parts from your company saved me a lot of money. The repair took me about 15 min. First I removed the two screws that hold the front cover and then I pulled out the drum and replaced the broken pulley, then I put back the drum and the belt in place and then I put the cover and screwed back in and now I'm back washing and drying pile of clothes.

CustomerDale from YONKERS NY
I followed the directions from a post on parts select that somebody had previously written and my repair worked out perfectly. I removed the top / lid of the dryer by placing a flat head screwdriver underneath both top front corners which was relatively simple. I then removed the entire front door of the dryer by disconnecting the electric wires for the door which again was a very simple procedure. The tumbler was now exposed at which time I removed the belt (I took a picture of the belt setup for later reassembly) and lifted the tumbler off giving myself easy access to the rear drum rollers and front drum pads. I was able to see that the wheels were worn and definitely the cause of the squealing. I changed out the wheels with replacement wheels which was self explanatory. The front pads were in good shape but I figured that at this point it would serve me well to replace them also which I did. I then reset the new belt (another part that I opted to change while I had the opportunity) on the tumbler with the picture in hand and had no problem. This step did require two people but still not a difficult step. I then put the door and lid back together and now had myself an extremely quiet dryer and a piece of mind that new parts were installed. All in all pretty easy repair.

Troubleshhot problem, used multimeter to verify current to motor. Once that i was sure motor was getting proper voltage, I used a meg-ohm meter on A/C motor windings and physically tried to turn motor and found that it was siezed. I then cleaned inside of unit inspected belt and drum rollors. Due to the cost of the items, I decided If I was going to replace the motor I should replace all moving parts, and install new belt. Everything went easy. WHAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE! was that the Parts people sent the correct parts on time the first time, with no hiddin charges. There web site should accurate diagrams of parts and internals of machine. I was really pleased and will use this service again. Thank you

Actually, I was the handy man. First I removed the front panel. Then I used 3 - 2x4s to hold up the drum. Then I slipped the belt around the center of the drum ,motor,and around the pulley at the bottom of the dryer. That was it, and then I put it back together. My wife was amazed and proud that I did it without calling for help! No Problem!

CustomerChristine from Minot ND
First I had to take the top of the dryer off by taking the two screws off of the lint trap on top then I pushed the top forward a little and lifted up. Then I had to take the front of the dryer off (I think there was two screws). After that I had to take the belt off to be able to get the drum out. I pulled off the old seal and had to use some glue remover to get the old glue off. I then put the new seal on did a little bit at a time to make sure it was on correctly. The glue is really sticky once it starts to dry. It takes two people to put the seal on especially when it gets down to the end. Although my dryer defenitly needed a new seal it was not the problem. It was not very difficult at all, just more time consuming with trying to get the old glue off. Will be buying a new motor, found one cheap and alot less expensive than buying a new dryer considering when I am done I will pretty much have a new dryer for about $120.00.

On Monday, February 2nd, President Obama released his $4.006 trillion FY 2016 budget proposal. Overall, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) did very well in the President's budget, with a proposal for $1.18 billion, which is a 12 percent increase from the FY15 level. Both Senior Corps and the Foster Grandparents were proposed with level funding from FY15, at $202.1 million and $107.7 respectively.
Unlike the President's FY15 budget proposal, there was no proposed language in the FY16 budget to transition Senior Corps into an AmeriCorps-type program. This was a direct result of the lobbying activity the three Senior Corps programs engaged in with the Congress and the Administration last year to fight against this proposal.
The FY16 CNCS budget proposes a new program called the Encore Initiative. The Encore Initiative provides for more than 4,000 member positions for seniors. In addition to engaging retired Americans as AmeriCorps members to help solve community service challenges, Encore will provide an opportunity for current evidence-based Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program and Senior Companion Program grantees to expand their programs through AmeriCorps funding. Additionally, the CNCS budget includes language to promote evidence-based models within Senior Corps, as well as proposes to introduce competition to the Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions programs.
As a reminder, the President's budget proposal is a start to the conversation about FY16 funding, but is far from final. Once Congress reviews the President's budget, it will begin to work on its FY16 appropriations bills. NAFGPD will be in Washington, D.C. next week to meet with appropriations staff on the Hill to get their thoughts on the President's proposed budget and to weigh in on funding and policy initiatives for FY16 of importance to the Foster Grandparent program.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to FGP!

Gee they were the good ol' days of long-haul bicycle touring...
Okay, back in 1988, what were you using for:
(1) Top most-used camera?
*** Canon T90 w/ FD 28-105mm f3.5
(2) Top most-used color film?
*** Kodachrome 200 (professional version)
(3) Top most-used paper?
*** Cibachrome (as it was known then), RA4
(4) B&W enlarger w/ color pack, dichro color enlarger, or somethine else? - Bonus points if you can you remember the model!
*** Used a friend's country darkroom: 3 enlargers (all dichroic) I can recall in his studio/darkroom. I dabbled in B&W there occasionally (Panatomic X) while my friend shot everything exclusively on colour film (Kodak, definitely) as his work was all weddings/receptions. The only real free-time we had together in the darkroom was Sunday afternoons when he had cleared shoots, proofing, sorting and presentation tasks.
Camera and film shared a big handlebar bag on what was then the "newest and boldest" style of bicycle touring: an MTB bike. I covered many thousands of kilometres around Australia (also including the then primitive crossing to Tasmania) and a guided tour in New Zealand with this kit, all the while shooting Kodachrome (when I look back on those slides now I see how much we have aged since we were fresh-faced, wide-eyed and wrinkle-free!!). Decades later I retain a soft spot of affection for the T90.

The 2015 Impala offers the kinds of power and performance that will make you want to go for a drive just for the fun of it. Two distinct powertrains are available. Standard is a 2.5L four-cylinder that puts out 195 hp and 187 lb-ft of torque. All trims are front wheel drive and come with a six-speed automatic transmission.
A stronger 3.6L V6 is available for drivers requiring more performance. These models feature 305 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque. The V6 Impala accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest family sedans on the market.
Despite its powerful engine options, the Impala remains a fuel-efficient vehicle thanks to smart engineering. The four-cylinder engine, for example, shuts off the engine at red lights so that you don't waste fuel idling. 2.5L four-cylinder Impala models are rated at 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Fuel economy is slightly less for V6 models at 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
The engineers at Chevy have found ways to integrate more features, technologies, and options into the Impala. Know that you will ride in comfort and convenience every time you get in the vehicle
2015 Chevrolet Impala LS: The starting Impala LS models offer 18-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, cruise control, OnStar with 4G LTE capabilities, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and a six-speaker stereo with CD player, satellite radio, a USB port and a 4.2-inch display. Options include rear parking sensors and a cargo net.

Automotive experts have found a lot to like about the latest Impala and consistently identify is as a leader in its class:
Kelly Blue Book: "The Chevrolet Impala arrived in all-new form last year, wearing a sharp new suit and boasting an interior filled with technology and creature comforts. With the revamp, the Impala gained a new lease on life and again became a standout in the waning full-size sedan segment that includes the Dodge Charger, Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300 and Toyota Avalon."
Edmunds: "Whereas the previous-generation Impala featured styling and trim that only a rental agency could love, the current model is attractive, well-appointed and fully competitive in its class. Indeed, it's hard to think of another car that has gone from zero to hero this quickly. If you're looking for a large sedan, the Impala is a genuine must-drive."
Visit Sunrise Chevrolet at 414 North Avenue in Glendale Heights, IL to test drive the newest Impala. We are just 10 minutes south of Bloomingdale off of Glen Ellyn Road, and easy to find next to the Brunswick Zone. Work with our friendly sales staff Monday through Saturday.

I just bought a Santana tandem from the mid 90s. It has 3x5 gearing with bar end shifters plus cantilevers and a disc brake in the rear. The wheels are 27" and have a million spokes.
Any suggestions for updating the bike? The bars are too narrow and the quill stem is a bit short. What's the bar clamp diameter for quills, 26.0?
I have 9 and 10 speed bar cons laying around. Will I need a new rear wheel if I want to run a 9 speed rear?
Thanks, eric
