Heated Grips
They appear to be a good design, but the directions are a little skimpy. Make sure you have a service manual handy.
Review By: buckywhatknobby
A really nice product, if only...
Looks really awesome but they REALLY need to rework the sleeve! Recommended but with careful reservations.... Drag Specialties makes 2 versions of this heated grip - Harley and Metric. The box I recieved was marked "Heated Grips 1 inch Metric" for my Kawasaki Mean Streak. The box includes the left and right grips (right grip with throttle sleeve), battery pigtail with fuse holder and a crimp-on quick splice connector for the power lead. Out of the box everything looks great and the grips are of high quality with great feel and quality materials. The problem is when you try to install them. Although they are specified at "5 1/2 inch" the measurement is total length. Those chrome end caps are mounted on the end of the grip, via screws...and the interior grip length is therefore SHORTER. The throttle side's length is as specified but the clutch side's internal length is only about 5 inches, making it a bit short. I cut down a piece of my old grip to use as a (very good looking) spacer. The BIG issue is the throttle sleeve - it is about 1/32 inch TOO SMALL. Therefore it binds on the "standard" 1-inch bar, regardless of being specified as perfectly fitting a 1-inch bar. The throttle still works but it fails to return closed and sticks in position. After days of trying to figure out a clean solution I finally had to sand down the bar...to only limited success. The throttle sleeve fits the push-pull cable setup of metric cruisers, or pull only as well, but the sleeve has that small design flaw and it CANNOT be changed as the grip is vulcanized to the sleeve - quite permanent. Otherwise the product is very good - good heat with a nice feel and really nice construction. My hands got blackened by the grips a bit but nothing major, I expect that to wear off.
Review By: dinosnake
from New York
Best aftermarket heated grips available.
Installed on 1998 Valkyrie. Kit comes with replacement grips that are simple with just the right amount of chrome IMHO, & the connecting electric wires are internal through the handlebar. The heating control is easy to operate with one finger, off - low, medium, high on the left grip right next to my turn signals. They were pricing to have installed by the Honda dealer ($210). If you can do it yourself, these are an incredible value! There is an added benefit too. You know how the stock grips' throttle (right) really springs back with a vengeance? Well these are a tight fit. So the throttle only goes back to idle VERY slowly. Its kind of like a built in cruise control! Certainly good enough to momentarily let go & adjust your mirror, reach in a pocket, adjust your glasses, helmet or whatever. I REALLY like this bonus. The tech at the Honda shop said he could sand/buff the handlebar underneath the right grip to have it slip back like stock but luckily for me he saw the benefit too and called me first. I said leave it and he & I made the right call there. BOTTOM LINE: I can now ride my bike in pretty much any Temp nature can throw at me. THESE GRIPS ARE GREAT!

When I opened the package and pulled out the gray mats, they were covered with dirt and the edges had a black residue on them. I had to wash and scrub them before I even put them in the car. Would have been all 5 star except for the fact that I had to clean them up right out of the box before installation.

The Journal asked King George Fire & Rescue Chief David Moody what's changed since the last ISO survey was conducted in 2002 that provided improvement in the county's classifications for fire department supply and protection.
This is what he told us:
"There have been many improvements to our Fire/Rescue and water systems since our last ISO rating in 2002. Fire/Rescue has added additional 24 hour on-duty staff that are available to respond to emergencies around the clock. We have added two additional mobile tankers to our fleet which increases our mobile water tender fleet to a total of four trucks in accordance to ISO. There has been more emphasis on record keeping, fire hose annual inspections, ladder inspections, SCBA flow testing, training standards, personnel accountability, emergency response procedures, etc. since 2002.
"In addition, the King George Service Authority has also expanded its service areas to include water distribution lines and storage capacity and the King George Sheriff's Office has changed some of their operations within Communications."
Moody also said, "In 2002 we were only provided one rating and that was a 6/9, meaning all areas of a class 6 were properties within 5 road miles from a fire station and 1000 ft from a fire hydrant. The class 9 properties were within 5 road miles of a fire station, but in excess of 1000 ft from a fire hydrant. All properties outside of 5 road miles from a fire station are automatically in a class 10 in accordance to ISO.
"During this ISO rating the Fire/Rescue Department conducted a thorough water shuttling exercise that mocked how we would retrieve and deliver water for the purposes of structure fires. This exercise included a total of all four mobile water tenders (T-1, T-2, T-3, E-31) and also a pumper truck (E-11). This exercise was conducted at the industrial park this past summer and was a timed event in which the ISO representative conducted a field analysis. This process allowed our County to have a separate 'Fire Department Supply' (FDS) rating that would include all buildings/houses that are within 5 road miles, but in excess of 1000 ft. from the closest fire hydrant. The ISO rating in 2002 for this category was a class 9 and starting in March of 2014 is a class 6. This reduction was a significant improvement and demonstrates the ability of our Fire/Rescue Department to effectively distribute water for fire suppression to areas of our County that are not protected by fire hydrants. We were very pleased to learn of this reduction and it was well worth the effort to demonstrate our ability.
"The Fire Protection Service Area (FPSA) are all areas of the County in which a building/home is within 5 road miles from a fire station and within 1000 ft from a fire hydrant. The 2002 rating for this class was a class 6 and as of March of 2014 is a class 5.
"Both these reductions in the ISO rating demonstrate the enhancements on fire suppression, water supply, and communications. These reductions should ultimately allow for lower property insurance premiums although the exact reduction is unknown since each insurance company sets their own prices."
Moody also said mutual aid fire stations outside of the county are also identified by ISO.
He stated, "Any buildings/houses that are outside of 5 road miles from the closest fire station are automatically in a class 10 in accordance to ISO. We do utilize our other mutual aid fire stations for this distance requirement too. For example, if a building/house is within 5 road miles from Stafford County's White Oak Fire Station, and outside of 5 road miles from our Company 3 Fire Station in Fairview Beach then the mutual aid station is counted since we have an automatic mutual aid agreement in place with all surrounding counties."

Second best is the first loser
The finest ball striking round of golf ever caught on film in just over two minutes...What could be better!!!
Amateurs practice until the can hit a shot, pros practice until they cannot miss it.
Very educational, thank you.
In what way was it better than Tiger Woods' 63-score last round at the BMW last week?
Because he hit every fairway and every green that round.
He didn't lean left (so-called stack & tilt), and he didn't have any goofy tripod.
Thank goodness!
All you have is the path of your hands, force along that path, and torque about that path
That's your only means for creating the proper interaction of the club and ball to produce the desired shot.
Brian Manzella is a 3-time Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher and is ranked #40 in America by Golf Digest on their 50 Best Teachers list.
A couple'a questions:
Anybody have the record of what clubs are being used for the various shots? I know that's a long shot...
Also, did Hogan's swing get a little shorter through the 50s and 60s? It looks shorter with the driver sometimes than I've seen.
Every fairway and every green, eh? Nice. What'd he shoot?
Amateurs practice until the can hit a shot, pros practice until they cannot miss it.
The four wood (first fairway wood shot that they show in that clip) he hits is incredible, among a number of other shots..
Amateurs practice until the can hit a shot, pros practice until they cannot miss it.
"Hogan's performance is especially startling considering the conditions. Normally, taping for the Shell's series took about eight or nine hours, but the Hogan-Snead match took two days to film. There was a three-hour rain delay after the second hole".

The meat industry, which hit a two year high in exports to
Japan last week, apprehends a huge loss when inspectors are
furloughed by the U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA), according
to the proposed budget of the U.S. government in March 2013.
The spending cut and tax increases to cover the deficit by the
U.S. government was scheduled to begin in Jan 2013, but was
eventually pushed back to Mar 2013. This was because the
differences between President Obama and congressional Republicans
were still to be resolved.
Up to one-third of the workers appointed by the U.S.
Agriculture Department could be laid off as a cost-cutting
measure by the U.S. government.
If that happens, it will lead to a two-week shutdown of plants
owned by meat processing giants like
Tyson Foods Inc.
) and
Sanderson Farms Inc.
). By law, meat processors cannot sell beef, pork, lamb and
poultry meat without the USDA inspection seal.
According to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the impact of
the furlough of inspection personnel may amount to 15 days of
lost production costing over $10 billion. However, Vilsack has
assured meat processing giants that they will not have to shut
down the plants very soon. That is on account of the inspectors
being allowed 30 to as many as 120 days, or four months' notice
of layoffs.
The move to furlough the nation's federal meat, poultry and
egg products inspectors by the USDA as a measure of sequestration
has been condemned by several organizations. The National Chicken
Council requested the USDA to consider the decision once again as
the shutdown of meat plants will negatively affect schools and
other public institutions that rely on contracted-for meat and
poultry products.
Sanderson Farms apprehends a huge loss during the 15-day
furlough of inspection personnel and consequent shutdown of
plants. The company also said that live chickens would suffer
from higher mortality. The mortality would occur when chickens
gained weight as a result of the company postponing chicken
processing, which would in turn affect supply to grocery chains
Supervalu Inc.
) and
Kroger Company
Tyson Foods, however, said that it is monitoring the
proceedings regarding the budget cut and that it would stay away
from any speculation in the interim period.
Currently both Tyson Foods and Sanderson Farms carry a Zacks
Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Hey curvy girl's all over the world,Our fave curvy girl Amber Riley is always giving us fab style, whether she's on the red carpet or on the set of Glee. Amber is the kind of curvy girl that where's what she wants and we looove that about her. Just as much as Amber loves her bright colored dresses in classic silhouettes, she enjoys great prints as well. Since we know you love Amber so much we found two of her dresses that we thought were adorable and great to kick off the spring season.
Last month Amber rocked a printed draped dress with a waterfall denim jacket to the Paley Center for Media. Amber's dress was from contemporary brand All Saints. All Saints goes up to a size 10 and is a favorite among a number of young celebs. This definitely goes to show that all sizes are not created equal. Many non plus brands make clothes that are generously cut or sometimes the oversized look is in and winds up working for those of us with a little meat on our bones. The All Saints dress is about $200 and you can purchase Amber's dress HERE .
We also love that Amber is not afraid to bargain shop. Just last week she was spotted on the set of Glee wearing a Faith 21 Plus multi colored brush stroke zippered dress which was under $30.
The dress is sold out online,but, you may be able to find a few lingering around in store. Check out Faith 21 Plus HERE for more cute spring dresses.

How would you change some Pokemon?

What stat or type changes would you make to some Pokemon to make them more usable?
Personally, I'd change the Unova starters like this:
Add to level up movepool:
Bulk Up
Brick Break
Smack Down
Fire Punch
When I saw Emboar, I expected a very VERY hard-hitting fire type with respectable defense and good HP. Instead, we got a Pikachu-frail low-speed Fighting-Fire type that gets outclassed by Darmanitan and many other Pokemon.
Had they made him just a tad big bulkier, faster, and even more of a hard hitter, it could've been the fighting-fire type that breaks the chain of fire-fighting types being strong, fast, but frail.
--> Change to Water/Fighting
Add to movepool:
Ice Fang
Cross Chop
Close Combat
Shell Smash
Seriously what the heck, Gamefreak? Why do you guys make a Pokemon themed on samurai NOT be part fighting type? and why is it more oriented to be a Special Attacker when its weapons are talked about so much?
This is how I believe Samurott should've been.
New Hidden Ability:
Swift Swim
Samurott was never a defensive Pokemon, so why give it an ability that would be better off with a Pokemon with a higher defense?
(Change to Grass/Dragon, or keep the same)
I think Serperior's base stats are fine. Maybe it could use 5 or 10 points more for its offensive stats, but overall I'm happy with its speed and defenses. It's a good Pokemon, it just needs a better movepool when it levels up.
Add to level-up move-set:
Calm Mind
Solar Beam
Energy Ball
Seed Bomb
Anyways, these are the changes I'd make to these Pokemon if I could. What do you guys think? Too overpowered? Too nerfed? What kind of changes would you make to a Pokemon?

Whilst at the Football Transfer Tavern we have been keeping a close eye on the fascinating goalkeeping debacle at Real Madrid, their fierce rivals Barcelona have just tied down their second choice keeper Jose Manuel Pinto as Mundo Deportivo report.
The backup keeper who is described as vital to the dressing room and one of the largest characters at the club has signed a deal that will keep him as Victor Valdes' number two until at least 2014 with the option to extend the deal further if both parties agree.
In what will be an early and very welcome Christmas present for Barcelona fans, this means that Xavi, Lionel Messi, Carles Puyol, Cristian Tello and now Pinto have all committed their futures to the Catalan giants in the last couple of weeks, adding to the security at the club whilst bitter rivals Real Madrid seemingly crumble.
Whilst the 37-year-old will never be first choice at the Camp Nou, he is vital to the harmony of the club and fans will welcome this news like our punters do a free shot. A poll conducted in Mundo Deportivo claims that 70 per cent of Barcelona fans would like to see Iker Casillas as their number one – and given that Casillas is the Real Madrid skipper, it shows how the 31-year-old is viewed in Spain and what a statement dropping him was by Jose Mourinho.
My comment is dat instead of barcelona having cassilas as their keeper it is better 4 dem to look for a young talented goal keeper because cassilas is already old and as u can see he is no more performing well
It's good if barcelona have cassilas bcz is agood kepeer and has more experience than ayoung and talented goal keeper.if they must have young keeper go 4 arsenal keeper

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) Yokohama on Sunday inaugurated a new public high school dedicated to the teaching of advanced science and technology.
Haruo Sato, the principal of Yokohama Science Frontier High School, said the aim is to nurture scientists who will be active around the world.
To provide its students with "science literacy curricula" focusing on experiment-based science subjects, the school has tied up with universities, institutions and corporations so renowned academics and scientists can act as special advisers.
Students will study such fields as biological science, the environment, nanotechnology and information and communications, before specializing in an area of their choice.
They are expected to write up their study results in English, school officials said.
The city of Yokohama has provided the school with advanced equipment and facilities.
At the inauguration ceremony, Masatoshi Koshiba, winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in physics, gave a special lecture attended by 237 students as well as Yokohama Mayor Hiroshi Nakada.
"Basic science, my field of study, is not (directly) useful to society, but I take pleasure and satisfaction from it," Koshiba told the newly enrolled students.
The school is located in the Yokohama Science Frontier area, a research and development base on the city's waterfront.

Uncontacted Amazon tribe reacts to planes overhead
A series of pictures of a remote, uncontacted tribe in the Amazon basin has been released. The pictures were taken near the Xinane river in Brazil's Acre State, close to its border with Peru.
The tribe was first identified as "uncontacted" in 2011 when satellite pictures revealed this community was living near the border with Peru.
In the latest pictures, taken on March 25, the uncontacted people are seen reacting to a plane flying overhead. As many as five tribal men can be seen raising their weapons in a threatening manner at the plane.

Women jailed after £1.5m cocaine smuggling bid
Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid, who pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle cocaine out of Peru in September, have both been jailed for six years and eight months.
ITV News reporter Martha Fairlie reports:
Peru drug smugglers first claimed they were coerced
Michaela McCollum and Melissa Reid who had been working in Ibiza this summer, had previously claimed they were coerced into carrying the drugs by Colombian drug lords who kidnapped them at gunpoint.
They said theywere forced to board a flight from Lima to Spain with 24lb of cocaine in food packets hidden inside their luggage when they were arrested.
So far they have been held at the notorious Virgen de Fatima prison in Lima.
Their guilty pleas at the end of September came on the same day that the UN declared that Peru has now overtaken Colombia as the world's number one coca leaf producer, the raw material of cocaine.
According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, coca plantations in Peru covered 60,400 hectares last year.
Peru two 'very calm' as sentenced handed down
Michaela McCollum, from Dungannon, Co Tyrone, and co-accused Melissa Reid, from Lenzie near Glasgow, were sentenced to six years and eight months by Judge Pedro Miguel Puente Bardales in what was described as a "brief process".
Judicial spokesman Daniel Vega said: "The women were very calm as the sentence was handed down at the court in the Sarita Colonia prison.
"They will now begin serving their sentence in the Santa Monica prison.
"It is still not clear whether they will be able to serve part of their sentence in the UK - the judge said that was not a decision for the court and they would have to reach an agreement with the prosecution."
Women in Peru admitted £1.5m cocaine smuggling bid
At an earlier hearing, Melissa Reid, from Scotland, and Irish-born Michaella McCollum pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle £1.5 million worth of cocaine out of Peru.
Today they were told by a Peruvian court they will both serve six years and eight months in jail.

Guest Post: Companion Novels – Lynn Hardy
We're pleased to welcome Lynn Hardy, author of Prophecy of the Flame, who shares some thoughts on companion novels.
Companion Novels – Lynn Hardy
I've been walking the road of self-publishing for quite a few years. Occasionally I will get an invite to attend as a panellist so that I can share what I've learned with others. I always keep a pen handy because you never know what you can pick up.
At the LTUE conference in Salt Lake City, UT earlier this year, I came across a new term. It sounded so sweet: companion novel. But what was it? I never heard that term before. A companion novel is a book that is only complete when it is paired with another book in a series. They are never meant to be read by themselves.
Another unique attribute of companion novels is the size. The official term is "novel." However, their word count is usually between 14,000 and 25,000 words. This length of book is typically called a novella. I suppose if we can call Pluto a planet, we can call these companion "novels."
You can easily identify a companion novel by their numbering within the series. Most are labelled with a .5 or ½. (i.e. 2.5 or Three and a half) I've heard other authors publish them to keep readers entertained between major books in a series. I quickly decided to take advantage of this new piece of information by releasing a companion novel of my own, although not for the typical reasons.
Prophecy of the Flame: Two and a Half – Love's Reward was created because Book Three in the series was becoming too long. I had several chapters that were flashbacks. A companion novel would be perfect!
It has been 2 years since I released Book Two in the series – that is a long stretch. I hope my fans are still out there. I promise to be timelier with my books in the future: I got distracted with the screenplay for Book One. But, now, the screenplay is complete. Book Three will finally be released this winter.
Love's Reward is a typical companion novel: A collection of short stories – only 21,000 words. It could never stand on its own. However, it will give more insight into some of the characters from Book Two as well as setting the stage for some of the new characters in Book Three, soon to be released.
If you would like to know more about the movie based on Book One or the storyline for the books, there is of tons information at my official blog.
Battle is also waged within Reba, an ordinary housewife who has become the most powerful mage on the planet, as she struggles to remain true to her wedding vows. Drawn against her will to the arms of Prince Alexandros, Reba must choose between a marriage to a handsome prince in a magical world or returning to the husband she left behind.Amazon US Amazon UK B&N Goodreads
Prophecy of the Flame – Book One became #1 on Amazon Kindle in 2010, shortly after Book Two released. There has been talk of a movie: Lynn finished the screenplay for Book One in 2012.
Lynn Hardy claims to be just your average stay-at-home mother of two. The road has been longer and more complicated than she would have ever guessed–not always smooth, but filled with wonderful surprises. Like most stories, I am sure that the journey has only just begun for this aspiring author.Blog Twitter Facebook

I think my most memorable trade was when I got an event Japanese Arceus and Regigigas from ~RNC~ back in 2009/2010, I believe. (May have been a different person though.)
I don't really have a least memorable trade, because trading for me isn't full-time; after all, it's no fun just sitting around for hours switching pieces of data between people (unless all them are special to the traders).
I don't think some people of the TF2 community get that though.
oh hey is this a placeholder

Hello friends, recently bought a new customized desktop with windows 7 32bit installed in it. I am really enjoying it and I must also say that windows 7 is truly amazing especially its features.
Now I have planned to do some sort of modification with the system hardware and also software. But the most important and necessary thing right now for me is to add a custom button to the logon screen in windows 7. I am trying out my best to get it placed correctly but unable to do so. Is there anyone who knows how exactly we can have a custom button on the logon screen?

Businesses are advertising on a sheriff's deputy vehicle that's used for a youth education program, but don't expect to see local police cars covered with ads as though they're racecars.
Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox said the ads were unique, since private donations entirely pay for the department's youth assistance and crime prevention program and spare taxpayers the expense. The sponsors get recognized with decals on a vehicle, and the county is able to fund the program that warns kids about drugs, alcohol and dangers on the Internet.
Cox doesn't want ads on any police cars, a growing trend across the country as local governments look for ways to pay for services. He has concerns about the vehicles looking tacky, inappropriate businesses wanting to advertise and the risk that ads could confuse residents, who might question whether they're dealing with real police officers.
But police eventually might need to consider advertising decals on police cars, especially in an age when ads can be found on high school football scoreboards and libraries are pursuing more corporate sponsorships to plug revenue shortfalls, Greenwood Police Department Assistant Chief Matthew Fillenwarth said.
Budget cuts and property tax caps are putting constraints on funding for local governments, and police departments may have to consider sponsorships and other revenue sources in the future, Fillenwarth said.
"With shrinking budgets, it's probably only a matter of time," he said. "It'll probably come down to need."
Cash-strapped cities across the country already have sold advertising on police cruisers. Police departments in Florida, Ohio and Massachusetts, for instance, have let businesses rent bumper sticker-sized spaces on the back of their cars as a way to boost revenue. Baltimore is looking at placing ads on the sides of fire trucks.
Greenwood police briefly talked about the possibility of selling ad space inside a police van to bail bondsmen. The people being arrested could use the contact information, and police could use the extra income for training and equipment, especially for the SWAT team, Fillenwarth said.
"People always ask why the SWAT team doesn't have a robot," he said. "Well, that's because it's $30,000. An armored vehicle would cost $300,000. Anything tactical is expensive."
But Greenwood police have not seriously explored the option, and it could raise issues such as preferential treatment, Fillenwarth said.
Franklin police have not considered allowing advertising, Police Chief Tim O'Sullivan said. The only advertising that's ever been done on Franklin police cruisers was putting the city website address on some of the bumpers.
People can then go to the city website to request records from the police department or learn more about its services, O'Sullivan said. No businesses have approached the police department about advertising, and O'Sullivan said he wasn't interested in pursuing it.
O'Sullivan said ads were fine on a car used for DARE or some other educational program but shouldn't be on typical police cruisers because it looked unprofessional.
"It's a city-owned vehicle that was paid for by taxpayers," he said. "It shouldn't be a rolling billboard."
The sheriff's office allows ads on only the vehicle that's solely used by a reserve sheriff's deputy who teaches Johnson County kids about bullying, guns, alcohol, drugs and Internet safety.
Cox said that ads would not appear on any sheriff's office vehicles other than the sport utility vehicle driven by reserve deputy Brian Baird, who runs the youth education program. Baird, who also is a newly elected commissioner, owns the vehicle and leases it back to the county so it can be used as a police vehicle for the program.
Cox said he generally is not a fan of advertising on police cars, but he made an exception for the school program because it depends on donations and no tax dollars are spent on it. The sheriff's office wants to continue to be involved in the schools, he said.
"Anytime you can have a police officer in the schools it's a good thing," he said. "But we have budget constraints and not near enough manpower. This is a way we can have a police officer in the schools."
The vehicle is privately owned but says "Johnson County Sheriff's Office" on the side.
Johnson County once paid for the vehicle's gas, insurance and other expenses but couldn't afford to after budget cuts, Chief Deputy Randy Werden said. Baird then bought the vehicle and pays for all of its expenses, so the program can keep going, Werden said.
He doesn't get paid to run the educational program at elementary schools and relies on donations from two businesses to pay for pencils, notebooks and other school supplies that are given out during visits. L.D. Mechanical Contractors, which Baird owns, and Lee Supply Corp. donate whenever more supplies are needed.
Baird collects the money and said that he had no estimate of how much the advertisements bring in per year, but that the donors cover all the program's expenses. He isn't soliciting money from other sponsors and wouldn't accept any more, he said.
L.D. Mechanical Contractors is the main backer of the educational program, Baird said. Radio Disney also had been a major sponsor but recently ended its agreement with the county because it wanted to follow the police program with a presentation of its own, and local schools couldn't spare that much time, Baird said.
He put small decals on the back of the program's SUV to recognize the donors' support, but the businesses hadn't requested any ads or recognition for their contributions to the youth education program, Baird said.
The program is similar to D.A.R.E. and McGruff the Crime Dog but has a curriculum tailored to Johnson County school kids.
Cox said the program does a lot of good, such as by teaching children how to stay safe while they're online.

hi all,
just been trying to increase the width of my home page so that the slider will align to the left in line with the 'home' button. This will then free up space on the right for a twitter, facebook, and contact form widget on the right.
I'm also wondering how i go about adding them to the right seeing as im using a one column theme. Can you add widgets side by side in a column or do i need to create more columns?
thanks in advance!

Josh Reddick is hurt and the A's season got worse
The A's are 19-23, five games back in the AL West and four games back of a Wild Card spot already. It's surprising their record is even that good, as they've been outscored by 42 runs, have just one starter pitching even adequately, and run out a lineup full of holes each night. They seem directionless at the moment, as no one could explain exactly what the sequel to Moneyball would be about if you based it on their current team. Things are not going to get easier, either, as Josh Reddick—the ...Read More...

Taiwan, or the Republic of China, has always been a unique actor in international politics. During the Cold War, it was at center stage in the struggle between East and West, between communism and capitalism. For some years after 1949, its government was blamed for the "loss" of China and was subsequently criticized for its authoritarian rule of Taiwan. Yet it had the support of most Western governments and was admired for its courage and tenacity and its ability to survive against all odds. For twenty-two years, from 1949 to 1971, as the Republic of China, Taiwan represented China in the United Nations (including holding a permanent seat on the Security Council). Then it was expelled. Subsequently, it lost formal diplomatic ties with most nations of the world. In 1979, it suffered the loss of formal ties with its most important friend and ally, the United States. Since then, Taipei has been plagued by Beijing's efforts to isolate and delegitimize it. It has had to carry on diplomacy via cultural and commercial contacts. Nevertheless, it has adopted a democratic foreign policy to match domestic political change and has shed its pariah-nation image while adroitly adjusting to a new world order, even in the face of an increasing security threat.
Prior to the era of Western colonialism, Taiwan had what some might consider political communications with several neighboring countries, though one would certainly not equate these to formal diplomatic relations as were being practiced in the West at the time.1 The island's business communities also maintained trade and other contacts with various areas in East Asia, including China. In fact, these
