New York Times sheds light on cruelty in horse racing
Mar 27, 2012
Horse racing has long been a popular sport across the nation, but the attention it got recently was not necessarily positive. The New York Times published an investigative report over the weekend that shed light on the cruelty and danger involved in the sport,
Mother Nature Network
About 24 horses die every week on an average American race track, with minimal investigation into why, the
"A computer analysis of data from more than 150,000 races, along with injury reports, drug test results and interviews, shows an industry still mired in a culture of drugs and lax regulation and a fatal breakdown rate that remains far worse than in most of the world," the news source reports.
Depending on state to state regulations, many horses are given drugs like cocaine and Viagra and stimulants to make them race faster so the jockeys and others involved in the "economics of racing" make a higher profit. Many substances do not show up on drug tests, and many trainers are never caught illegally drugging their horses because the tests are never run.
Care2.com has created a
to ban drugging horses, the news outlet reports.

Taking too much acetaminophen may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Adults should not take more than 4000 milligrams (4 grams) of acetaminophen a day. People with liver problems and children should take less acetaminophen. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how much acetaminophen is safe to take.
Do not use with any other drug containing acetaminophen without asking your doctor or pharmacist first. Acetaminophen is in many nonprescription and prescription medications (such as pain/fever drugs or cough-and-cold products). Check the labels on all your medicines to see if they contain acetaminophen, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Get medical help right away if you take too much acetaminophen (overdose), even if you feel well. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, yellowing eyes/skin, and dark urine.
Daily alcohol use, especially when combined with acetaminophen, may damage your liver. Avoid alcohol.Who should not take Pain Reliever Child?
This drug is used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever.
Take this product by mouth as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
There are many brands and forms of acetaminophen available. Read the dosing instructions carefully for each product because the amount of acetaminophen may be different between products. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended. (See also Warning section.)
If you are giving acetaminophen to a child, be sure you use a product that is meant for children. Use your child's weight to find the right dose on the product package. If you don't know your child's weight, you can use their age.
For suspensions, shake the medication well before each dose. Some liquids do not need to be shaken before use. Follow all directions on the product package. Measure the liquid medication with the provided dose-measuring spoon/dropper/syringe to make sure you have the correct dose. Do not use a household spoon.
For rapidly-dissolving tablets, chew or allow to dissolve on the tongue, then swallow with or without water. For chewable tablets, chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
For effervescent tablets, dissolve the dose in the recommended amount of water, then drink.
Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the symptoms have worsened, the medication may not work as well.
Do not take this medication for fever for more than 3 days unless directed by your doctor. For adults, do not take this product for pain for more than 10 days (5 days in children) unless directed by your doctor. If the child has a sore throat (especially with high fever, headache, or nausea/vomiting), consult the doctor promptly.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if you develop new symptoms. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
See also Warning section.
This drug usually has no side effects. If you have any unusual effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
See also Warning section.
Before taking acetaminophen, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, regular use/abuse of alcohol.
Liquid products, chewable tablets, or dissolving/effervescent tablets may contain sugar or aspartame. Caution is advised if you have diabetes, phenylketonuria (PKU), or any other condition that requires you to limit/avoid these substances in your diet. If you have any of these conditions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about using these products safely.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using this medication.
Acetaminophen passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
See also Warning section.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
A product that may interact with this drug is: ketoconazole.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests, possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine.
Acetaminophen does not cause the stomach and intestinal ulcers that NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen may cause. However, acetaminophen does not reduce swelling (inflammation) like the NSAIDs do. Consult your doctor for more details and to see which medication might be right for you.
If you are taking this medication on a regular schedule and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

Does it fit my car?
Select your car
The JL Audio Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer delivers incredible bass in a package that takes up minimal space and blends in with your vehicle's interior. JL Audio designs Stealthboxes to fit in specific vehicles, then loads them with appropriate subwoofers for optimal performance. Pair the system with an appropriate amp and wiring for stellar concealed bass.
Perfect sound to go with the perfect fit
JL Audio puts months of research and design into each Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer to ensure not only that it fits, but that it sounds better than any other custom enclosed system. First, JL Audio determines the ideal shape and mounting location for each enclosure, so that it looks like an original part of the vehicle it's designed for. Next, they mount each high-performance subwoofer so it delivers amazing firepower from within its unique enclosure, without sacrificing clarity or musical depth.
The fiberglass enclosure offers superior rigidity while allowing more interior volume, so the sub can turn out louder, deeper bass. JL Audio craftsmen then laminate, grind, join, and finish each Stealthbox® by hand. The end result: full-bodied, distortion-free bass from an impressively stealthy enclosure.
Enjoy enhanced, custom-fit sound
This Stealthbox® enclosure fits underneath the driver side rear bench seat of 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC Extended Cab pickups. It includes one W1v2 10" 4-ohm subwoofer from JL Audio. Please check with us before purchasing by using the vehicle selector on our site, or calling a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to verify fit information.
JL Audio has rated the difficulty of this Stealthbox® installation as moderate or high. Crutchfield recommends using a car audio professional to install this enclosure, unless you have extensive experience installing car audio gear.
Product Highlights:
- Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer
- sealed fiberglass enclosure
- W1v2 10" 4-ohm subwoofer
- installs underneath the driver side rear bench
- power handling: 50-300 watts RMS (600 watts peak power)
- warranty: 2 years
- Our 60-day money-back guarantee
Vehicle-specific enclosures with subs? Say what?
Instead of the usual sub in a box, the manufacturer creates a molded enclosure that fits perfectly into a convenient spot in your specific vehicle, housing a high-quality sub. Some enclosures even include a built-in amp, for the ultimate in stealth bass. The advantages? You don't lose much space (if any), your sub is perfectly matched to its enclosure, and your enclosure has a factory look that won't tell potential thieves you have an awesome sound system.

Average Customer Review:
Great service and Customer Satisfaction
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
After a few weeks of break in time this enclosure really started sounding good but my teeth didn't rattle. I had an Alpine MRP-M500 mono amp behind it giving it all it could handle 300 watts. Altho it sounded clean, for my taste and the money spent i was a little disapointed my voice didn't vibrate when i spoke with it rocking! Crutchfields service is absolutely outstanding and their customer satisfaction is top priority to them!!! I called them up and explained i was disapointed and they allowed me to send the special order stealthbox back along with the amp for only $7 freight cost. Luckily for me the stealth box enclosure that houses 2 10" JL's was on sale and so was a bigger 800 watt Boston Acoustic 800m amp and when all is said and done the upgrade will be only $200!!! I will be sure to post another review once my new set up is installed and i am sure it will be what i was looking for!!! I will brag on Crutchfields customer satisfaction to anyone who will listen!! Im impressed, thanks crutchfield.

Product Research
Overview: JL Audio's Stealthbox subwoofer systems are designed to hide away in a specific vehicle. Please consult "Outfit My Car" to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
Construction: Stealthboxes are hand-crafted from fiberglass and/or Advanced Molded Composite (AMC) materials. Fiberglass delivers a level of enclosure rigidity and dimensional stability not possible with other enclosure materials, allowing wall thickness to be reduced compared to a typical wood enclosure. This gives you more interior box volume for a given external volume. Fiberglass and AMC materials are very strong and can be molded into very complex shapes; giving JL Audio the ability to design your Stealthbox to fit perfectly into tight spots and minimize intrusion into your vehicle's useful space. Each Stealthbox is laminated, ground, joined, and finished by hand in the USA. Proprietary techniques and materials developed by JL Audio through years of fiberglass manufacturing experience ensure consistent quality and performance.
Woofer: A 10" JL Audio W1v2 subwoofer is loaded in this enclosure and features an injection-molded, metallic-finish polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround for added durability, woofer excursion, and bass response.
- Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radius feature on the edge of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround behavior.
- Interlocking Cone & Dust Cap: The W1v2's utilize a dust cap that is not just glued, but also interlocks with features molded into the cone body for a tight snap-fit. This creates a more rigid cone assembly and a more reliable dust cap attachment.
- Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W1v2 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass.
- Floating Cone Attachment Method (FCAM): JL Audio's patented FCAM technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil/spider assembly. This assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.
- Vented Reinforcement Collar: The Vented Reinforcement
Collar (VRC) is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to
- Stress Relief: By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weakness. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes
- Air Flow: The VRC also features slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings. This reduces thermal compression effects and enhances reliability
- Insert Molded Suspension/Coil/Terminal Sub-Assembly: The W1v2 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. This type of assembly ensures precise lead wire length, lead wire entry and exit angles; and coil to spider perpendicularity.
- Elevated Frame Cooling System: The elevated frame design of the W1v2 delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about some of the side effects associated with kidney cancer and its treatment. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions related to your specific treatment.
Side effects are common and you may experience different ones during your treatment. Medications and other therapies may help to either prevent or reduce side effects of treatment, or to manage certain side effects when they occur. You can develop side effects from the treatment and/or from the cancer itself. Tell your doctor when you notice a new symptom, and ask if any of these treatments are appropriate for you.
Lack of Appetite
A loss of appetite is common during cancer treatment. Fatigue, discomfort, nausea, dry mouth, mouth sores, and loss of taste can play a part in reducing your desire to eat. To manage this common side effect, consider:
- Talking to a registered dietician for nutrition suggestions
- Eating frequent, small meals instead of three large meals
- Eating healthy foods that appeal to you
- Eating around your appetite—if you are most hungry in the morning, then that is when you should eat a large meal
- Asking your doctor about liquid meal supplements; some of these may be a good way to take in the calories you need
- Drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel like eating
Nausea and Vomiting
Chemotherapy and radiation can cause nausea and vomiting. To treat this side effect, you may be prescribed an anti-nausea drug. Some patients also find hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and acupuncture helpful. Eat frequent, small meals; sip water throughout the day; and avoid fatty, spicy, or greasy foods. You may want to talk to a registered dietician about other ways you can reduce nausea and vomiting with diet.
Skin Problems
You can develop a rash or your skin can become red and tender from your treatment. To treat skin irritations:
- Use only mild soap and warm water when washing your skin.
- Stay out of the sun.
- Avoid hot showers.
- Use lotions or creams that are approved by your doctor.
Be gentle with your skin:
- Pat dry instead of rubbing.
- Wear gloves when cleaning or gardening.
Fatigue is common in cancer patients. Medications, low red blood cell levels, emotional stress, pain medications, weight loss, and lack of appetite can all cause fatigue. Based on what is causing your fatigue, your doctor may recommend medications, a blood transfusion, a change in pain medications, talking to a therapist, exercise, and/or vitamins. Getting enough rest and listening to your body when you need to rest are also an important part of treating fatigue.
Mouth and Lip Sores
Chemotherapy can cause the mouth and/or lips to develop sores. To manage this side effect:
- Eat soft, bland foods.
- Avoid spicy, hot, or cold foods.
- Suck on ice chips or drink small sips of water throughout the day.
- Use a lip balm on your lips.
- Avoid citrus foods.
- Use a straw when drinking.
Going through treatment for cancer is stressful. You may benefit from a support group or talking to a therapist or clergy member. Your doctor or nurse can help you find the right type of emotional support for you.
Cancer drugs work by attacking cells that divide quickly. Not only do cancer cells divide quickly, so do blood cells. Depending upon your treatment, you may experience side effects that affect your blood cells, making you more prone to infection. Other side effects include bruising easily, fatigue, and bleeding easily.
Hair Loss
Chemotherapy frequently causes hair loss. If your hair falls out, then wear a scarf or hat to protect the skin on your scalp. Consider wearing a wig.
Medications, especially pain medicines, can cause constipation . Eat whole grain foods and drink plenty of fluids to avoid constipation. Staying active with exercise is also a good way to prevent this side effect.
Diarrhea can occur with certain cancer treatments. If you have diarrhea, then avoid caffeine, alcohol, spicy or fatty foods, and large meals. Replenish lost fluids with juice, broth, water, or a replacement fluid.
Opioid analgesics may be ordered to control pain or discomfort. They include the following drugs:
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lor-tab)
- Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
- Morphine (Astramorph PF, Duramorph, Kadian, MS Contin, OMS Concentrate, Oramorph SR, RMS, Roxanol)
- Oxycodone and Acetaminophen (Percocet)
Opioid analgesics act on the central nervous system to relieve pain. These drugs can be effective. They may cause dependence, and patients will need increasing doses to obtain the same pain relief. If you are going to take one of these drugs for a long period of time, then your doctor will closely monitor you.
Percocet is a combination medication. An opioid analgesic and acetaminophen used together may provide better pain relief than either medicine used alone. In some cases, lower doses of each medicine are necessary to achieve pain relief.
The most common side effects of opioid analgesics include:
- Constipation
- Lightheadedness
- Drowsiness
- Nausea or vomiting
Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.

We've been in the hair goods business since 1992 when my wife wanted that first pair of beaded chopsticks. She bought the materials to make them but then decided to go get the expensive ones at Nordstrom instead. I took her materials, fascinated by what they were selling for and started making them myself by hand in the garage. Enthusiastic, admiring friends bought them up. Suppliers referred us to contacts with major retailers nationwide and, several million pairs later, everlasting success was assured... almost.
My wife, Missy, finally had had enough and sent me into the garage with instructions to, "pull out your old beads and wire, make something and go sell it... NOW or else!" (All husbands know what or else means!)
I had so much raw inventory left over from my seven years of trying to make a go of big retailers and as fate would have it, one of the products I had the most materials for was the Flexi clip. I quickly began assembling product for a weekend marketplace near our home. I went to the marketplace with barely enough capital to get in, buy a hotdog and get home.
By the end of the first weekend, I had left with over $1,000. At the time, it was so significant. It represented hope. Tears of joy followed. The epiphany came when I realized I had kept doing the same thing for years and expected a
Need for more financial stability led me to experiment with sales at a local Farmer's Market where I quickly confirmed all the benefits, and potential, of direct selling. Then another moment of truth unfolded before me: I wanted to do an event but I couldn't be in two places at once. My friend, Shannon, suggested she would cover the Farmers Market if I wanted to do another event. Another "ah-ah" moment... duplicate my effort without cloning!
Product demonstration, instant customer feedback, immediate cash results... WOW! A whole new world opened up! With utility patent in hand I set out to spread my enthusiasm for the Flexi-clip directly to others. Without the willingness of my wife to allow me to follow this path, none of this would be here today.
They have responded! After seven successful years of experience at thousands of events across the nation we now have a wildly enthusiastic following. Other fantastic products backed up by exceptional customer service have allowed for our current success. Now, how to expand the number of people who know about our products, and allow them to profit while they share with others?

Old World monkeys are primates and are more closely related to humans and apes than any other living nonhuman primate group. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many Old World monkeys in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 121511 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7245472), is a male crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis fusca) from Indonesia. This individual was collected in 1902 by William Abbott near Pulo Simalur on the island of Sumatra. This specimen weighed 15.25 lbs and measured 940 mm in total length. The tail measured 460 mm long with a head to body length of 480 mm.
This is a CT scan of the mandible of USNM 121511. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living nonhuman primate relatives available in 3D for education and research.

Radiation therapy is the use of beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles called radiation to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
Radiation may be recommended to treat kidney cancer if you are not a candidate for surgery. In general, kidney cancer is resistant to radiation treatments, but the therapy could be useful to treat pain that has spread to other parts of the body. The treatment may slow the growth of the disease, but it will not cure the cancer.
Type of Radiotherapy Used for Kidney Cancer
External radiation is used to treat kidney cancer. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Treatments are given at a hospital or radiation center, usually once a day, five days per week. The daily time spent receiving the external beam therapy is short.

Everyone agrees that Asia is urbanizing rapidly and that this trend will have a dramatic impact on economic development in the region. But unearthing tangible business opportunities in those markets will not be straightforward. Making money in and from Asia's cities is about to become a lot more complicated.
There are more Asian cities than outsiders tend to realize. Everyone has heard of Mumbai and Delhi, Beijing and Shanghai. But what about Johor Bahru, in Malaysia, or Medan, in Indonesia? The key to tapping urban wealth in Asia will be to look beyond first-tier megacities to the second tier: "middleweights," with populations of less than ten million.
Development in that second tier is astounding. In India, for instance, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Pune together will have as many households earning $20,000 a year in purchasing-power-parity terms as either Delhi or Mumbai by 2025. In China, 14 cities, including Wuhan, Xiamen, and Shantou, will have more households in this income segment by 2025 than either Beijing or Shanghai do today.
So far, many Western companies have enjoyed success by mostly ignoring these second-tier cities and building strategies around a combination of developed Western markets and only the megacities in emerging markets. This relatively accessible combination currently accounts for about 70 percent of global GDP.
Over the next 15 years, however, developed economies and emerging-market megacities will account for only one-third of global GDP growth, according to a new McKinsey Global Institute report, Urban world: Mapping the economic power of cities. Second-tier cities increasingly will set the pace. Around 230 of these middleweight cities that are not among the top 600 urban centers by GDP today will make that list in 2025. Small and midsize cities with populations of 150,000 to five million will grow fastest. Some Western companies, such as P&G, Unilever, and Yum! Brands, have started to understand this reality. Most haven't.
Middleweights will pose challenges even for companies that think they've mastered the business requirements of developing economies by operating in megacities. Unlike high-profile megacities, not all middleweights are fully diversified urban economies. That means multinationals need a strategy for each individual second-tier city or region, instead of an overall second-tier-city strategy.
Middleweights vary widely in their growth opportunities, consumption profiles, consumer attitudes, brand loyalty, and market dynamics. This is not a new issue for many Western businesses, since such geographic diversification happens everywhere. America's Sunbelt, for instance, can be a profit center for companies serving retirees, while Europe's language and cultural fragmentation can lead to quite different approaches to different economies.
But figuring out where opportunities lie in Asian middleweights will be an order of magnitude harder. Emerging Asia lacks much of the infrastructure (transportation, communications, financial) that makes geographic fine-tuning easy in the West. Getting a product to Aksu, in Xinjiang—even over China's much-vaunted roads—is harder than getting a shipment to Topeka, Kansas.
One way our colleagues in China and India have worked around this problem involves geographic clustering, a mix between the scale economies of a megacity and the growth opportunities of a middleweight. The key here is to focus on regions where several middleweights are relatively near each other and have similar tastes. Foreign companies already do this in some emerging-market areas. Having established operations in Guangzhou or Shanghai, it's simple to branch into other urban areas around the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers, respectively.
As urbanization proceeds and middleweights gain income, more such clusters will appear. Our McKinsey colleagues have identified no fewer than 22 potential clusters in China and 14 in India. The clusters in India, for example, are likely to account for 17 percent of the country's population and 40 percent of its urban GDP by 2030.
These clusters, although still a challenge for businesses to understand, are at least more comprehensible than individual cities because the clusters demonstrate some common traits among their constituent middleweights. For instance, the density of hypermarkets is eight times greater in Shanghai than in the urban cluster in the middle to lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Consumers in the central–south region of the Liao River have three times the price sensitivity of their counterparts in the middle to lower Yangtze region, and the impact of word of mouth on their buying behavior is five times greater.
All of these trends begin to suggest a way forward for companies looking to enter middle-tier cities. First, understand that just any city won't do. Managers need to find the right city or urban cluster for their company. Second, understand that what you think you know about a country from your operations in its largest city may not apply in the second tier. Business planners will often have to start relatively fresh, learning about new marketplaces and consumers.
Companies need to make cities a central part of their thinking—that's a given. But the depth of knowledge that corporate strategists gather about Asia's fast-changing urban landscape will be the key to their ability to tap this growth opportunity.
McKinsey Global Institute's Urban World app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices uses a database of more than 2,600 cities around the world to illustrate how global economic power is shifting. For more information, visit our Urban World site.

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
Buying guides
Greenhouses buying guide
Whether you want to grow beautiful blooms or tasty fruit and vegetables a greenhouse can give you hours of pleasure and satisfaction. The good news is that you can buy one that will fit into almost any size of garden, no matter how small.
Before you buy your greenhouse, it's well worth considering a few key points:
- Where do you want to put your greenhouse? What is the ground like there, how much space is available and how much sun will it catch on a good day?
- What would you like grow? Are you just seeding or do you want to grow tall plants and vines?
- What is your budget? You can still love your greenhouse, but perhaps without some of the more advanced features found in some models.
- How close to your water and electricity supplies will the greenhouse be? This could determine the greenhouse you buy or change your overall budget.

The three men of R&B male group TGT, Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese, sat down to dish on family, friendship, love and just everyday life. Reality television, something Ginuwine is all too familiar with, was one topic the men had strong opinions about.
"Reality TV has introduced us to new interpretations of dysfunction," Tyrese told S2S Publisher Jamie Brown.
At one point, Ginuwine was actually looking into starring in a reality television show with his family. They even invited camera crews into their home to film a pilot episode. Unfortunately, that fell through.
"We weren't willing to act like fools on TV," said Ginuwine.
The men argued that today's TV doesn't reflect the family values shows once did. "Good Times" and "The Cosby Show" were used as examples of what inspirational TV should look like.
Tank said he refused to be a part of this epidemic that is "affecting the overall understanding of Black family values."
Tyrese summed up what he sees as the problem, the influence and excitement about materialism. "You got people with no souls that are concerned about their shoe soles," said Tyrese.

Mobile marketing an increasingly important tool in tapping into 'last minute' market
The 6th annual Hostelworld.com hostel conference took place in Dublin at the end of January welcoming more than 400 hostel owners from around the world from Australia to Argentina. The conference this year focused on the rise of social and mobile marketing, and the roles they will play in the future of travel and other changes that are driving the travel industry. Delegates heard from travel experts and hostel owners on a wide range of subjects as well as from the most important people - the customers themselves.
The conference was opened by Feargal Mooney, CEO of Hostelworld.com, who revealed that the hostel market is again in rude health with more hostels showing an increase in the number of bookings in 2009 and Hostelworld.com themselves showing a 14% increase in hostel bookings. Particularly strong growth, reported Mooney, was shown in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden and further afield in Brazil, Argentina, China and Japan.
Futurist Patrick Dixon opened the expert presentations with a fascinating insight into the direction that the travel industry is going. The pressure on people's time resulting in an increase in short breaks and last minute booking. The rest of the day focused on the highly topical subject of social media. Gail Power from facebook explained that the site now has over 350 million active users, with, interestingly, over 40s being the fastest growing demographic of users - a trend that Hostelworld.com is also noticing in their booking patterns. Finally Krishna De from BizGrowthNews stressed the importance of interacting with customers through social media.
Day 2 focused on mobile where delegates heard from experts from Eye for Travel, Beep Marketing and Netbiscuits.com on the opportunities and challenges that exist for the use of mobile in travel and how to utilise mobile marketing to deepen customer relationships.
The backpacker panel, on the afternoon of day 2, served to confirm the views of the experts. The backpackers stressed the importance of social media as a marketing tool with all five of the members being avid users of facebook which proved to be far and away the most used social networking site. Over half the panel owned a smartphone, highlighting the increased presence of them and their importance in influencing buyer behaviour on the small screen. In response to this increasing demand of booking accommodation 'on the go' Hostelworld.com launched their iPhone app in January of this year which has already proved extremely popular, peaking at number 2 in the free travel apps charts.
Hostelworld.com also took the opportunity to release some new research from budget travellers, in particular in relation to social and mobile. Highlights included:
• Older generation using hostels more, 13% of respondents over 45
• 47% of respondents use facebook
• 87% bring a mobile phone with them travelling
• 5% use a smartphone to book online
• Europe is top destination for 2010

Pneumonia is a general term that refers to an infection of the lungs, which can be caused by a variety of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
Most cases of pneumonia are caused by viruses, including adenoviruses, rhinovirus, influenza virus (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza virus (which causes croup).
Often, pneumonia begins after an upper respiratory tract infection (an infection of the nose and throat), with symptoms of pneumonia beginning after 2 or 3 days of a cold or sore throat.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms vary depending on the age of the child and the cause of the pneumonia, but common ones include:
- fever
- chills
- cough
- nasal congestion
- unusually rapid breathing (in some cases, this is the only symptom)
- breathing with grunting or wheezing sounds
- labored breathing that makes the rib muscles retract (when muscles under the ribcage or between ribs draw inward with each breath) and causes nasal flaring
- vomiting
- chest pain
- abdominal pain
- decreased activity
- loss of appetite (in older kids) or poor feeding (in infants), which may lead to dehydration
- in extreme cases, bluish or gray color of the lips and fingernails
Someone with pneumonia in the lower part of the lungs near the abdomen might have fever and abdominal pain or vomiting but no breathing problems.
Kids with pneumonia caused by bacteria usually becomes sick fairly quickly and will have a sudden onset of a high fever and unusually rapid breathing.
Kids with pneumonia caused by viruses probably will have symptoms that appear more gradually and are less severe, though wheezing can be more common in viral pneumonia.
Some types of pneumonia cause symptoms that give important clues about which germ is causing the illness. For example, in older kids and adolescents, pneumonia due to Mycoplasma (also called walking pneumonia) is notorious for causing a sore throat, headache, and rash in addition to the usual symptoms of pneumonia.
In infants, pneumonia due to chlamydia may cause conjunctivitis (pinkeye) with only mild illness and no fever. When pneumonia is due to whooping cough (pertussis), a child may have long coughing spells, turn blue from lack of air, or make the classic "whoop" sound when trying to take a breath.
The incubation period (the length of time between exposure and feeling sick) for pneumonia varies, depending on the type of virus or bacteria causing the infection. For instance, for RSV, this is 4 to 6 days; for influenza, 18 to 72 hours.
With treatment, most types of bacterial pneumonia can be cured within 1 to 2 weeks. Viral pneumonia may last longer. Mycoplasmal pneumonia may take 4 to 6 weeks to resolve completely.
The viruses and bacteria that cause pneumonia are contagious and usually found in fluid from the mouth or nose of someone who's infected. Illness can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes on others, by sharing drinking glasses and eating utensils, and when someone touches the used tissues or handkerchiefs of an infected person.
Some types of pneumonia can be prevented by vaccines. Kids usually receive routine immunizations against Haemophilus influenzae and pertussis (whooping cough) beginning at 2 months of age. (The pertussis immunization is the "P" part of the routine DTaP injection.)
Vaccines are now also given against the pneumococcus organism (PCV), a common cause of bacterial pneumonia.
Children with chronic illnesses, who are at special risk for other types of pneumonia, may receive additional vaccines or protective immune medication. The flu vaccine is strongly recommended for kids with chronic illnesses such as chronic heart or lung disorders or asthma, as well as otherwise healthy kids ages 6 months through 19 years.
Because they're at higher risk for serious complications, infants born prematurely may be given treatments that temporarily protect against RSV, which can lead to pneumonia in younger kids.
Doctors may give prophylactic (disease-preventing) antibiotics to prevent pneumonia in kids who have been exposed to someone with certain types of pneumonia, such as pertussis. Those with HIV infection might receive prophylactic antibiotics to prevent pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii.
Antiviral medication is now available, too, and can be used to prevent some types of viral pneumonia or to make symptoms less severe.
In addition, regular tuberculosis screening is performed yearly in some high-risk areas because early detection will prevent active tuberculosis infection including pneumonia.
In general, pneumonia is not contagious, but the upper respiratory viruses and bacteria that lead to it are, so it is best to keep your child away from anyone who has an upper respiratory tract infection.
If someone in your home has a respiratory infection or throat infection, keep his or her drinking glasses and eating utensils separate from those of other family members, and wash your hands frequently, especially if you are handling used tissues or dirty handkerchiefs.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor immediately if your child has any of the signs and symptoms of pneumonia, but especially if he or she:
- is having trouble breathing or is breathing abnormally fast
- has a bluish or gray color to the fingernails or lips
- has a fever of 102ºF (38.9ºC), or above 100.4ºF (38ºC) in infants under 6 months of age
Professional Treatment
Doctors usually make a pneumonia diagnosis after a physical examination, but also might order a chest X-ray, blood tests, and (sometimes) bacterial cultures of mucus produced by coughing.
In most cases, pneumonia can be treated with oral antibiotics given at home. The type of antibiotic used depends on the type of pneumonia. In some cases, other members of the household might be treated with medication to prevent illness.
Children may be hospitalized for treatment if they have pneumonia caused by pertussis or other bacterial pneumonia that causes high fevers and respiratory distress, or if:
- supplemental oxygen is needed
- they have lung infections that may have spread to the bloodstream
- they have chronic illnesses that affect the immune system
- they are vomiting so much that they cannot take medicine by mouth
- they have recurrent episodes of pneumonia
Home Treatment
If your doctor has prescribed antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia, give the medicine on schedule for as long as directed. This will help your child recover faster and will decrease the chance that infection will spread to other household members. For wheezing, a doctor might recommend using a nebulizer.
Ask the doctor before you use a medicine to treat your child's cough because cough suppressants stop the lungs from clearing mucus, which may not be helpful in some types of pneumonia. Over-the-counter cough and cold medications are not recommended for kids under 6 years old.
Take your child's temperature at least once each morning and each evening, and call the doctor if it goes above 102ºF (38.9ºC) in an older infant or child, or above 100.4ºF (38ºC) in an infant under 6 months of age.
Check your child's lips and fingernails to make sure that they are rosy and pink, not bluish or gray, which is a sign that the lungs are not getting enough oxygen.

In its first 75 years of existence, the Italian company Piranesi designed jewelry exclusively for queens and countesses. Now available to the general public, Piranesi jewelry has nevertheless retained a regal quality: Each unique piece is handmade by artisans and intricately set with precious stones that include the highest-quality diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Founded by successful jeweler Abraham Hajibay in 1845, Piranesi remains a family-owned enterprise; Sami Hajibay, Abraham's great-grandson, now helms the company. Among the label's many admirers past and present: the legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor, who collaborated on the Elizabeth by Piranesi Collection before her death in 2011.

A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a test to detect the presence of blood in the stool, also known as the feces.
Reasons for Test
An FOBT is used as part of the colorectal cancer screening process.
It may also used to detect blood in your stool if you are having abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or other symptoms.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
A positive FOBT does not mean you have cancer. Other things can cause a positive test. Minor stomach bleeding from certain medications, hemorrhoids, or eating certain foods can cause a positive test. To help avoid this, you can try to:
Avoid certain medications and foods, such as:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for 7 days prior to testing. If you are taking them daily for medical conditions, talk to your doctor before you stop taking them.
- Red meats, cantaloupe, uncooked vegetables, blood sausage, and possibly hot sauce for 3 days before testing
- Wait until your hemorrhoids are not bleeding.
- Avoid having the test during your menstrual period.
- Avoid cleaning your toilet bowl for several days before the test. Chemicals from the cleanser can affect the test.
Description of Test
The test is most often done at home.
When you are ready to have a bowel movement, you will set up the kit according to the instructions. The kit should allow you to collect 3 samples of stool. Some kits provide a disposable container into which you can pass your bowel movement. Other kits provide you with tissue paper or plastic wrap that you can lay in the toilet to keep your stool sample from sinking into the water.
Using thin wooden sticks provided with the kit, you will pick up a small sample of stool. You will then smear the sample onto a special card. If you do not have hemorrhoids, some doctors may allow you to smear the sample onto the card with stool from toilet paper. The card folds over to protect the stool sample.
After Test
You will mail or deliver the cards to the clinic or lab. Make sure you have written your name on each card.
How Long Will It Take?
The test should only take a few minutes.
Will It Hurt?
This test will not hurt.
If blood is found in your stool, you may be asked to have additional tests. These tests will help to determine the cause of the bleeding. Although cancer may be one cause of blood in the stool, there are many other causes.
Call Your Doctor
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Development of any new symptoms
- Worsening of existing symptoms
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

It made me think:
1. Why do they remove fan-made videos on youtube and hunt down any type of footage? Let fans watch, create, and be creative. Involve them, get new people interested. Let people share, spread and watch.
2. Why are they not using the internet more? There are so many possibilities ignored.
Non-internet related:
3. Why is the price to attend an event so high that tracks usually have empty seats? Where is the logic there? It should always be filled to the max with cheering crowds. It does incredibly much for the overall feel.
4. Why are they leaving classic tracks and countries full of fans in favour of empty seats in some random desert?
They need to stop with this "unique/rare/premium" approach. F1 could be so much bigger, fans could be so much more involved.
Bernie & co seem to be very stuck in "old media", which is on the decline.
I understand that it's about money in the end, but I think much more money could be made if they adapted to new ways and stopped their content-policing of the internet.
As an example, I remember back in time around 2006-2008 when YouTube etc was pretty new, it was full of brilliant videos and material made by fans, with millions of views and discussions that must've brought a ton of fans to the sport. Now all videos are removed within a few days, and if you want to watch anything F1-related, you need to see the bad official race edits or wait for the next race. What's the point of limiting and removing rather than expanding?
