Liberal Opinion Week
Bloomberg View columnist Megan McArdle thinks people are exaggerating the Republican Party's responsibility for Donald Trump. Blaming the party, she concludes, "is like blaming the weatherman because it's raining, or an economist for a recession."
True, most Republican party actors resisted the Trump takeover right up to the point, and in some cases even after, all his nomination opponents dropped out. But the Republican Party nevertheless bears plenty of responsibility for the rise of the reality-show star, and many conservatives have acknowledged shortcomings in the party that Trump exploited. The question is still what exactly paved the way for Trump.
Republicans had encouraged, or at least tolerated, schoolyard taunts and far-fetched conspiracy talk long before Trump's campaign. He started out in Republican presidential politics by accusing the president of not being a U.S citizen, a slur that had been bandied about by many highly visible Republicans. He has now moved on to recycling conspiracy theories from 20 years ago about Hillary Clinton that were promoted at the time by talk-show hosts and Republican members of Congress.

Hard experience teaches that biotech companies, chemical corporations, and other agribusiness giants have no sense of respect for Mother Nature. Now, Rick Friday has learned they have no sense of humor either.
Friday, a lifelong Iowa farmer, also happens to be a talented, self-taught cartoonist. For 21 years, he supplemented his cattle-raising income by drawing cartoons each week in an Iowa publication called Farm News.
Friday really enjoyed this side job — until April 30.
The day before, the News had published his drawing of two hard-hit farmers chatting by a fence about the low prices they were getting for their products. "I wish there were more profits in farming," mused one.
"There is," exclaimed the other. "In year 2015, the CEOs of Monsanto, Dupont, Pioneer, and John Deere combined made more money than 2,129 Iowa farmers."
If you're poor, many Americans think, it's your own fault. It's a sign of your own moral failing.
I don't personally believe that, but the idea has roots in our culture going back centuries.
In The Wealth of Nations, the foundational work of modern capitalism, Adam Smith extolled the virtues of working hard and being thrifty with money. That wasn't just the way to get rich, he reasoned — it was morally righteous.
Sociologist Max Weber took the idea further in describing what he called the Protestant work ethic.
To Puritans who believed that one was either predestined for heaven or for hell, Weber wrote, working hard and accumulating wealth was a sign of God's blessing. Those who got rich, the Puritans thought, must have been chosen by God for heaven; those who were poor were damned.
Even major American philanthropists have subscribed to this idea.
Summer is upon us, and we are facing important travel decisions. Such as who to blame when we get stuck in interminable airport lines.
So many options. There's the government, but how many times can you can complain about Congress in the course of a lifetime? There's the public — air traffic up 12 percent since 2011. But really, people, don't blame yourself.
Let's pick a rant that's good for you, good for me, good for the lines in security: Make the airlines stop charging fees for checked baggage.
Seems simple, doesn't it? Plus, if you do manage to make it to your flight, these are the same people who will be announcing there's a $3 fee if you want a snack.
The largest airlines charge $25 for the first checked bag, thus encouraging people to drag their belongings through the airport, clogging the X-ray lines and slowing the boarding process as everybody fights to cram one last rolling duffel into the overhead compartment.
The acrimony between Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, inflamed in recent weeks, is likely to be resolved with a series of compromises that will bring relative unity in the weeks after next month's final primaries.
Limited conversations between supporters of the two candidates have been productive and both sides are guardedly optimistic, despite the sharp barbs the campaigns exchanged in recent weeks. With Clinton almost certain to be the Democratic nominee and polls showing her in a tight race with the presumptive Republican candidate, Donald Trump, Democrats are worried that internal friction could weaken the party in the general election.
"It's going to take a conscious effort for the winning candidate to be gracious and the opposing candidate to see the larger goal," says Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, D, a Sanders supporter. Although Merkley hasn't had any conversations with the Clinton forces, he expressed confidence that "the road is being paved" for a rapprochement.
First Cuba, now Vietnam.
President Barack Obama drew the U.S. closer to Vietnam this week, traveling to Hanoi and lifting a decades-long U.S. ban on military sales to the communist regime and strategically located former foe. Human-rights advocates were not inspired.
"Vietnam has demonstrated itself that it doesn't deserve the closer ties the U.S. is offering," said John Sifton, Asia advocacy director for Human Rights Watch, to the Washington Post. In an open letter to Obama, Human Rights Watch called Vietnam a "police state" that is "among the most repressive" governments in the world.
Obama's landmark visit to Cuba in March produced similar consternation over the Castro regime's long history of oppression while also providing eager conservatives with an opportunity, not to be missed, to use the words "Obama" and "Che" in the same sentence.
The latest thing Donald Trump is talking about not talking about is the 1993 death of White House attorney Vince Foster, which was ruled a suicide by multiple investigations but which "people" -- according to Trump -- believe was a murder orchestrated by the Clintons. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee told The Washington Post's Jose DelReal and Robert Costa that Foster's death was "very fishy."
"I don't bring it up because I don't know enough to really discuss it," Trump said while bringing it up. "I will say there are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder. I don't do that because I don't think it's fair."
Riiight. Trump isn't talking about Vince Foster. He's just casually mentioning that a bunch of other people think his likely general election opponent and her husband had a guy killed. That's all.
Historians of the future will want to know why almost no one went to jail in connection with the collapse of mortgage-backed securities that triggered the 2007-8 financial crisis. Monday's appeals court decision reversing a $1.2 billion fraud judgment against Bank of America will be an important part of the answer. To put it bluntly, the law failed -- because the law as it existed didn't properly anticipate or cover the events that occurred.
The decision, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, was the result of an appeal by Bank of America from a judgment by federal district court Judge Jed Rakoff, the most outspoken judicial critic of how the legal system responded to the crisis.
How should we respond to the next recession? That was the topic of an event held by the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project, where I spoke Monday in Washington with White House budget director Sean Donovan. I argued a number of points that address current concerns.
First, I argued that the possible election of "Demagogue Donald" dwarfs congressional dysfunction as a threat to American prosperity. Beyond lunatic and incoherent budget and trade policies, Donald Trump would for the first time make political risk of the kind usually discussed in the context of Argentina, China or Russia relevant to the United States. How else to interpret threats to renegotiate debt, prosecute insubordinate publications and rip up treaties? Creeping fascism as an issue dwarfs macroeconomic policy!
I recently asked a good friend where her boss stood on Donald Trump.
This wasn't an idle question. Her boss gives big money to Republican candidates. He's both power broker and weather vane. And she talks politics with him all the time.
But she has no idea about him and Trump. She hasn't inquired, because she doesn't want to know. She's fond of her boss. She respects him. But what if he's made peace with a candidate who called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States, mocked a disabled journalist, belittled John McCain's experience as a prisoner of war, praised Vladimir Putin's thuggish leadership style, complimented the Chinese government on its brutal handling of the uprising in Tiananmen Square, made misogynistic remarks galore and boasted during a debate about the size of his penis?
She can't go there.
I understand.

Growing Information
Chicory, Radicchio
CULTURE: For North American production, these varieties are vast improvements over older types, but are still not perfectly uniform or completely predictable. Although bred for specific seasons, it is still best to trial more than one variety, using succession plantings to determine which one suits your conditions.
Radicchio is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60–65°F (15.5–18.3°C). Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh radicchio.
THERMAL DORMANCY: Radicchio seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures above 77°F (25°C). Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 60–68°F (15.5–20°C).
TRANSPLANTING: Sow in flats, 4 seeds/in., or in 3/4" plug trays, barely covering seeds with fine vermiculite, 3–4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Shade the flats on sunny, warm days if necessary to keep the soil surface cool, below 75°F (24°C), until germination. If sowing into flats, transplant 1–2" apart into flats, pots, or cell-type containers about 2 weeks later. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2–3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C).Transplant 8" apart in rows 18" apart. Transplant shallowly so that the base of the plant will be slightly above the soil to discourage bottom rot.
DIRECT SEEDING: Seeds will germinate from 41–85°F (5–29°C), but the highest germination percentage will occur around 75°F (24°C), depending on the variety and seed lot. Sow seeds 1" apart, rows 12–18" apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8", and firm soil gently. Thin to 8" apart; thinnings may be transplanted. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination.
SALAD MIX/BABY LEAF: Sow 2–4" wide bands, 6 seeds/in. Cover seeds lightly, about 1/8". Firm soil gently, and keep surface moist until emergence in 3–5 days (or longer in cold weather). Harvest at 5–6 weeks.
NOTE: Radicchio grows best in cool or mild weather, i.e. fall, winter, and spring. Summer crops can be successful if nights are cool (below 60°F/16°C).
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add 14–21 days if direct seeding.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 1M/220', 5M/1,100', 10M/2,200', 131M/acre at 3 seeds every 8" in rows 18" apart.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 500 plants/M (2 seeds per cell thinned to one seedling).
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: See individual varieties.
PACKET: See individual varieties.

Nope Noté 1 sur 5 étoiles
Doesn't work. Turned all my videos black instead. I can't find anything that actually works.
I am sorry that it does not work for you. You can open an issue at github ("Support site") or send me an email if you want and I will try to help you debug this problem.
Some information that would be useful are the version of the addon, os and firefox you are using and if you have flash installed and/or enabled.
You could also try the new beta version 3.1.0 beta 3 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-all-html5/versions/3.1.0-beta3) and see if it works with that.
Thanks Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles

I had some problems with this. It worked sometimes ... and sometimes didn't. Good idea, though.
Could you be more specific about the things that don't work as expected?
I also just uploaded a new beta version that fixes some long-standing problems, see here for details: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/youtube-all-html5/versions/beta
Great! Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
It's working.
Wonderful! Buh-Bye slow and crashy FlashPlayer. Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
Since Macromedia convinced coders that Flash was the future, I have hated it. It's slow, crashy, and just plain annoying. This add-on is fixing my internet experience. I only wish it worked on everything flash!
Not tech-savvy Noté 1 sur 5 étoiles
Don't know enough to configure and maintain an alternate OS, and will not spend more money on Microsoft product.
The lack of support for XP is understandable in context but disappointing.
It's good to be one day closer to death.
I can understand your anger, but this is a firefox problem. Firefox does not support H264 under windows xp, because the H264 codec is only built into windows since vista.
Although this might seem as a strange advice, you could try chrome which seems to support h264 under xp as yet.
Very Good Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
Very good add-on , integrates well with YouTube and is light on resources, but icon's missing from add-ons manager(at least for me) and needs volume control. Thank you.
Edit: Glad to hear about the icon and yes that's what I mean by volume control, I think it would be useful especially with headphones. Again, thank you for all your efforts.
Yup, the icon went missing when I switched to the new packaging tool with the last update. Should be back with the next release [1].
I am not sure what you mean by volume control? Do you mean forcing other levels than 100%?

severe jitter on fullscreen view. Noté 1 sur 5 étoiles
severe video jitter on fullscreen view. No better than default youtube player.Cet utilisateur a une revue précédente sur ce module.
There seems to be a misunderstanding here. My addon forces (i. a.) the use of YouTube's own HTML5 player for people which normally get the Flash-based player. It does not include it's own player.
It is hard to say from here where your playback problems might come from, but old Firefox versions, disabled hardware acceleration or broken graphics drivers often cause problems with video playback.
Wonderful Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
Sometimes it even allows to save videos in resolutions not allowed by flash addons. F.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmeUuoxyt_E
To save any video:
click the small icon in the address bar, just before http://
click "More information"
click "Media" tab
you will see a long list of files but only one says "video" in the "type" column; click on that one;
click "Save As" then change the extension to .avi;
Thanks for the GNU licence!
Thanks for your review!
Another great tool for downloading videos from youtube is youtube-dl (https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/). It also supports downloading videos that use MSE, which you cannot save using the browser directly.
The developer is great! Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
Unfortunately, it's only working function is HTML YouTube player (who would have thought, yeah?), but function "auto pause" does not, also "Disable Flash on YouTube" has wrong name , it should include "only" like "Disable Flash on youtube only". Also there is no "disable annotations" function.
I look forward for fixing those tree mistakes, thanks for reading.
UPD1: Got your answer. Well, I did mean that disabling Flash can cause it's disable also on other websites, not only YouTube. This option disables Flash ONLY on YouTube, right? So call it so please, if I'm right.
Nope, restarting the browser didn't help, unfortunately, still using YouTube CC addon.
UPD2: Now it works properly, thanks for your time and efforts. 5 stars to Griffindoor!
Starting videos paused can sometimes be a bit buggy, but generally it works fine for me and most users that I talked with. However sometimes you have to restart your browser after you enable this option (or any other option, see the description). I will see if I can find a workaround for this in the next version.
I am not sure what other meaning "Disable Flash on youtube" may have, so I thought this was unambiguous until now. What did you think it meant?
An option for disabling the annotations will be added in the next update (https://github.com/klemens/ff-youtube-all-html5/issues/21). If you have a youtube account, you can also disable annotations in your personal settings.
I would recommend you contact me via email for further discussion, because the review system here is very limited.

Finally A YT Plugin That Does All I Need! Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
When I watch videos on YT, I like the video to automatically play at the highest resolution available (except 4K and beyond because I don't have 4K capable hardware) and the theater mode to be enable. I have been using a plugin for a few years now (which will go unnamed because the developer doesn't listen to customer feedback/bug reports) which did do that up until the beginning of the year. Now that plugin fights with HTML5 and when you try to enable the feature to have videos auto play in theater mode, the video gets all messed up and it does not save your configuration of having theater mode enabled at all times. But thankfully, this plugin not only puts videos in 1080p (when available) automatically, but the theater mode actually works!! When I close my browser, re-open and go to a YT video, theater mode is already enabled!! Yes!!! I highly recommend this plugin!Cette critique concerne une version précédente du module (3.0.0).

Clipping, no volume control - set too loud! Noté 3 sur 5 étoiles
Volume control nonexistent, 'clipping' of loud signals in many videos makes speakers pop and click at high frequencies. Same problem with other players after upgrading to this version of FF. Nothing to do with either computer audio or amp settings -happens at any device or amp volume. Clipping could be caused in other previous players when slider manually set too high. Now it is an annoying and dangerous default for speakers. If slider is disabled, please at least have default set to 75%, not full blast.
Firefox ver=38.2.1, player ver=3.0.0, OS=Solaris11.2, o/p.device=OSSv4AudioMixer, o/p.hardware=RealtekALC885codec, cable=S/PDIF, amp=integraDTR20.2, spkr=psbImagine.
'Fix ...bug...' button has no effect on the slider or volume, whether checked/activated or not. That is something I saw and tried before; still has no effect now.
Edit (2015-09-29): Slider widget always becomes visible on hovering and can be visually manipulated, even visually muted, as expected. But that still has absolutely no influence on the 100% volume level of youtube transmissions, regardless what position it is visually set to.
I agree there is a disconnect between the slider widget and what the addon is doing, and regardless of the setting of the 'Fix...bug...' button. But that's part of the problem, as there is no option or way to reduce the destructive 100% volume setting to something less.
Please apologize my late reply.
You are right, if "Fix volume bug on YouTube" is activated in the addon settings, the addon sets the volume to 100% at the start of the video. However if this option is not activated (which should be the default after installing the addon), the volume of the video as set by youtube is not changed in any way.
Have you disabled this option?
Edit (2015-09-28): So you mean the volume slider is not displayed at all for you? It appears for me if I hover the speaker icon (http://asa.crpt.de/files/youtube-volume.png). I have no idea what could be causing this, as my addon doesn't fiddle with the slider at all.
Edit (2015-10-08): Hm, this sounds like a bug in the youtube player or in firefox. I can send you a test version of my addon that sets the volume to say 50%, but I am not sure that this will solve the problem. Just write me an email to email@example.com if you want to test it anyway.
Not activating at all Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles
Seems that there is an issue
Even if I set my default resolution, size and method, the Addon never loads it, even on videos that allow the resolution
Is there a way to clear up the setting. FYI I tried uninstalling but didnt work
You can reset the settings in about:config, they use the prefix "extensions.jid1-qj0w91o64N7Eeg@jetpack". However at least the player size should work regardless of the loading method you choose. Does the small button of the addon appear in the top right corner of the youtube site? Which firefox version do you use?
You can contact me via email if you want.

You can force 720p even though Youtube would like you to use 320p.
You can buffer the full Videos even though Youtube tries to prevent this.
You can force theater mode even though Youtube tries to force you to the 320p player.
Two little problems with "Force HTML5 Test" though:
- The new option activates Youtube Annotations. You can't turn those annotations off in your profile and you can't hide those annotations via this addon.
- Disabling SPF dosn't seem to work whit the new option.
I will probably add a new option to hide annotations completely in the next version. I haven't seen the SPF problem yet, but I will try to reproduce it, thanks!

A career in Political Science is not just about getting into arguments, promoting social and political stands, paper works, and whatever else it is stereotyped of. Sometimes, when you work hard enough and you are wise enough to play your cards right, then you won't just be successful in terms of your career, but you would also be financially stable.
Let's face it – no matter what we do and what we chose to believe in, at some point in our lives, we have to aim for financial stability in order to achieve the lifestyle we dream of. I am no exception to that.
I chose this career path because I really have passion for it. I want to do great and make a name for myself. I want to succeed because I have high respect for the kind of job and life that it brings.
But that is not to say that I won't appreciate the fact that it also has the potential to give me a better life, financially. I do not say that I work for the money, but I am not denying the fact that I am happy for the kind of compensation I gain for my hard work. There is no better feeling than to live a life and a lifestyle you want because you know you earned it and you worked hard to get to it.
Most of the money I earn from my work, I allocate for my daily needs, for my savings, for an emergency fund, some for my "woman" needs (a girl's got to shop!), and of course, for a home to call my own.
I have decided years ago that I would want a house of my own in Anniston. So I started investing on it. I waited too long to finally get that life dream project on the go, and I am not about to stop anytime soon just to bring it to completion.
I have already bought a house, thanks to a real estate agent in Anniston from The Joey Crews Team – Keller William Realty Group. The agent that handled my house-hunt was more than accommodating and was such an expert that I never really had a hard time getting the house that I want. Paperwork, deals, and all the things necessary to settle the purchase were all taken care of without as much as a problem on which house I would actually take. It was that breezy. For a person who has been waiting for that moment for a long time, having a stress-free transaction for the house was a big thing to thank for.
Now that the house is mine, what's left to do is to slowly decorate. I am now a step closer to fulfilling my goals in life, and I could not be more happier.

Statement by
Anthony S. Fauci, M.D.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
National Institutes of Health
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
FY 2008 Budget Requests for the NIH, Part II
Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies
U.S. Senate
Monday May 21, 2007
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
I am pleased to present the President's budget request for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 budget includes $4,592,482,000.
The mission of NIAID is to conduct and support research to understand, treat, and prevent infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Infectious diseases include well-known killers such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, lower respiratory infections and diarrheal illnesses; naturally emerging or re-emerging threats such as pandemic influenza and SARS; and "deliberately emerging" threats from potential agents of bioterrorism. Preemptive medicine, in the form of vaccines and other prevention tools, is a major focus of the NIAID research portfolio in infectious diseases. Immune-mediated disorders include autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis as well as asthma, allergies, and problems associated with transplanted tissues and organs. Here again, preemptive medicine is an important component of our research efforts, as NIAID extramural scientists work to predict, prevent, and treat immune-mediated diseases more effectively.
The NIAID mission has two distinct mandates. First, NIAID must plan and execute a comprehensive, long-term program of basic and clinical research on well-recognized endemic infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Second—and in this case distinctive among the NIH Institutes—NIAID must respond quickly with targeted research to meet new and unexpected infectious disease threats as they arise, often in the form of public health emergencies.
Despite advances in medicine and public health such as antibiotics, vaccines, and improved sanitation, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that infectious diseases still account for approximately 26% of all deaths worldwide, including about two-thirds of all deaths among children younger than five years of age. Moreover, the pathogens we face are not static, but change dramatically over time as new microbes emerge and familiar ones re-emerge with new properties or in unusual settings.
Influenza is a classic example of a re-emerging disease. Because circulating human influenza viruses continually accumulate small changes, a new vaccine must be made for each influenza season. When an influenza virus emerges that has undergone a major genetic shift such that the global population has limited natural immunity but the virus can be easily transmitted among people, a worldwide pandemic can result. Three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century, including the 1918 pandemic that killed more than 50 million people worldwide.
It is imperative that we take a preemptive approach to the possibility that a new influenza virus will emerge to cause a 1918-like pandemic. How well we do that, however, depends to a large extent on improving how we cope with seasonal influenza, which kills an average of about 36,000 people in the United States each year. Control of both seasonal and pandemic influenza requires development of and access to a sufficient supply of effective vaccines and antiviral drugs, effective infection control measures, and clear public communication. In this regard, NIAID research has directly laid the foundation for improved influenza vaccine manufacturing methods, new categories of vaccines that may work against multiple influenza strains, and the next generation of anti-influenza drugs. Certain of these goals will be accomplished through basic research projects intended to increase our understanding of how animal and human influenza viruses replicate, interact with their hosts, stimulate immune responses, and evolve into new strains. Other goals will be accomplished through targeted projects, such as a program to screen compounds for antiviral activity against influenza viruses.
Since last year, we have made substantial progress in influenza vaccine research. The inactivated-virus H5N1 vaccine currently stockpiled by the Department of Health and Human Services has been shown in NIAID-sponsored clinical trials to be safe and capable of inducing an immune response predictive of being protective against the H5N1 virus in healthy adults, children, and seniors. Although the vaccine dose required to induce this response is high, studies on enhancing the immune response to lower doses by employing immune enhancers called adjuvants are showing promising preliminary results. NIAID also is collaborating with industry to pursue several other vaccine strategies in addition to inactivated virus H5N1 vaccines. For example, trials of cold-adapted, live-attenuated H5N1 vaccine candidates are underway, as is a Phase I clinical test of a novel DNA H5N1 vaccine candidate developed at the NIAID Vaccine Research Center.
We also have made progress in antiviral drug and diagnostic test research over the past year. An NIAID program that screens both licensed drugs and new drug candidates—first in cell culture systems and then in animal models—has identified several promising anti-influenza candidates that are now being further developed in partnership with industry sponsors. These include FluDase, which binds host cell receptors to prevent viral entry; T-705, which inhibits replication of viral RNA; and Peramavir, which inhibits an influenza enzyme called neuraminidase. Research into influenza diagnostics is being vigorously pursued. For example, NIAID-funded researchers, working in collaboration with scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have reported encouraging results with a potentially revolutionary diagnostic device called the MChip, which is capable of quickly and accurately identifying many influenza viruses, including H5N1.
Tuberculosis (TB) is another emerging threat, especially with regard to new and dangerous drug-resistant forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are being seen with increasing frequency. About one-third of the global population is latently infected with the TB bacterium. WHO estimates that 8.9 million TB cases occurred in 2004, as did 1.7 million TB deaths; active TB is especially common among people with HIV. Currently, about 20% of new TB cases are a multi-drug resistant form (MDR-TB), meaning that they are resistant to two common and inexpensive antibiotics and are thus far more difficult to treat than uncomplicated TB cases. However, an even more resistant form, called extensively-drug resistant TB (XDR-TB), has appeared. XDR-TB already accounts for about 10% of all MDR-TB cases, that is, two percent of all new TB cases.
The emergence of XDR-TB was not unexpected, but was a predictable consequence of imperfect compliance with the long and complex regimens needed to treat TB. We have long supported a large portfolio of research to develop new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for TB and to evaluate improved treatment and prevention regimens. As a result of that sustained effort, the "pipeline" of new countermeasures for TB is robust. At least nine new drugs are currently in clinical trials, including SQ-109, a promising candidate being developed in a private-public partnership with Sequella, Inc. After a hiatus of 60 years in which no new TB vaccines were clinically tested, nine candidates are now in human trials, and at least ten more are in preclinical development. In addition, to ensure that the NIAID TB research program continues to contribute effectively to the global response to this increasing threat, the Institute has developed a comprehensive strategic plan for MDR/XDR-TB that will help guide our research efforts. .
Influenza and TB are just two of many emerging and re-emerging infections on which NIAID conducts research. Malaria, long a leading cause of death worldwide, has become even more problematic because of the emergence of drug-resistant malaria parasites and insecticide-resistant mosquito vectors. NIAID supports a large portfolio of malaria research that has generated many promising drug and vaccine candidates, some of which are now in clinical trials; this research is related to the President's Malaria Initiative, which was discussed at the December 2006 White House Malaria Summit. In addition, NIAID conducts research on many other less common, but nonetheless important tropical diseases such as leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, hookworm, and lymphatic filariasis, which exact an enormous toll worldwide.
HIV/AIDS Research
In the almost 26 years since it was first recognized, the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has become a global catastrophe. An estimated 39.5 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In 2006 alone, an estimated 4.3 million people were newly infected with HIV, and 2.9 million died of AIDS.
Although the global HIV situation remains grim, our government's investment in HIV research has generated many solid successes, and the healthy pipeline of new drugs, vaccines, and other prevention methods promises more successes in the future. Antiretroviral therapies made possible by NIAID-supported research have transformed HIV from an almost uniformly fatal infection into a manageable chronic condition. In this regard, a recent study concluded that since 1996 these antiretroviral medications have saved at least 3 million years of life in the United States alone. These life-saving therapies are now reaching the developing world: 1.6 million persons are now receiving antiretroviral therapy, more than half of them with support from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In addition to these accomplishments, several new generation antiviral drugs that target HIV in novel ways are in the final stages of development.
Prevention efforts continue to be a major component of NIAID's HIV research program. We have improved our ability to prevent mother-to-child transmission. Research to develop topical microbicides capable of blocking HIV transmission during sexual contact is proceeding vigorously. And in December 2006, two NIAID-supported trials in Kenya and Uganda showed that medically supervised circumcision of adult males can significantly lower their risk of contracting HIV through heterosexual intercourse. The most powerful tool to prevent HIV infection would be a safe and effective HIV vaccine. NIAID is currently supporting 20 clinical trials of HIV vaccine candidates. Seven of these have moved beyond initial Phase I safety and immunogenicity testing. For example, in January 2007, a Phase IIb "proof of concept" trial of a non-replicating adenovirus vector modified to contain three HIV genes opened in South Africa. A related trial of the same candidate is ongoing in volunteers from North America, South America, Australia, and the Caribbean in collaboration with Merck pharmaceutical company. The NIAID Vaccine Research Center has also developed an HIV vaccine candidate that is currently being tested in Phase II trials, with an international Phase IIb efficacy trial set to begin later in 2007. Because of the enormous need for human testing of HIV drug, vaccine, and other prevention strategies, we recently reorganized our HIV/AIDS clinical trials network to make our clinical research capacity more efficient so that we can continue to meet evolving global AIDS research challenges. Additionally, NIH will contribute $300 million to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in FY 2008.
The possibility that terrorists will use a biological agent to mount an attack is a serious threat to the citizens of our nation and the world. Research to preempt and mitigate this threat is a key focus of NIAID, and complements our role in meeting the challenges of naturally emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Our strategic planning for biodefense research includes three essential pillars: infrastructure needed to safely conduct research on dangerous pathogens; basic research on microbes and host immune defenses that serves as the foundation for applied research; and targeted, milestone-driven development of medical countermeasures to create the vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics that we would need in the event of a bioterror attack. These efforts enhance not only our preparedness for a bioterrorism attack, but for naturally occurring endemic and emerging infectious diseases as well.
NIAID has undertaken a substantial expansion of biocontainment research facilities, which will greatly enhance our ability to safely and efficiently conduct research on infectious agents. For example, through its extramural program, NIAID is supporting the construction of two National Biocontainment Laboratories capable of safely containing the most deadly pathogens, as well as thirteen Regional Biocontainment Laboratories nationwide. Three intramural biocontainment labs—on the NIH campus, on the National Interagency Biodefense Campus at Fort Detrick in Fredrick, Maryland, and at the NIAID Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana—are either complete or well under construction. In addition to these facilities, NIAID has established a nationwide network of ten Regional Centers of Excellence (RCEs) for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research, which conduct research and development activities and provide training for future biodefense researchers.
The Institute's efforts have already yielded substantial dividends as described in our periodic progress reports, the latest of which was issued in January 2007. For example, new or improved vaccines and therapies against anthrax, smallpox and Ebola virus have shown great promise; among these is ST-246, a promising smallpox drug candidate that protects both rodents and nonhuman primates from lethal challenge.
NIAID also has been assigned the responsibility to coordinate research to develop countermeasures against a range of radiological and chemical threats. We have established eight Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation and four Centers for Countermeasures against Chemical Threats; in addition, basic and applied research is moving rapidly. We continue to coordinate and collaborate on these important components of our national security with our sister Institutes at NIH as well as interagency partners, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Department of Homeland Security.
Autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, asthma and other immune-mediated diseases are significant causes of chronic disease and disability in the United States and throughout the world. NIAID-supported research in immune-mediated diseases has led to significant advances in our understanding of how to manage these diseases.
One promising strategy to treat and prevent immune-mediated diseases is the induction of immune tolerance. Immune tolerance therapies are designed to "reprogram" immune cells to eliminate injurious immune responses, such as those seen in autoimmune diseases, while preserving protective responses needed to fight infection. NIAID has established a comprehensive program in immune tolerance research, including basic research, preclinical testing of promising strategies in nonhuman primates, and clinical evaluation through the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN). In an important study of people with severe diabetes, the ITN has shown that the transplantation of pancreatic cellscan improve blood sugar control, protect patients from severely low blood sugar, and, in a few cases, relieve patients of the need for insulin injections; unfortunately, insulin independence was not sustained in most subjects. Further research is underway to improve this promising procedure.
Last year, NIAID-supported scientists reported the identification of new ways to non-invasively assess the risk of kidney graft rejection by using gene-expression based biomarkers of immunologic activity present in urine. These investigators are now conducting a multi-center study to validate these approaches that potentially could allow physicians to predict, prevent, and treat kidney rejection more effectively.
NIAID remains committed to improving the health of children with asthma, particularly those who live in our Nation's inner cities. The NIAID-supported Inner City Asthma Consortium (ICAC) has undertaken two important efforts in this area. The ICAC is conducting the Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) Study. Five hundred and fifty inner-city children have been enrolled at birth and will be followed prospectively during childhood. The goals of the study are to identify the immunologic causes of the development of recurrent wheezing, a surrogate marker for asthma in children under three, and to monitor the development of food allergies in this patient population.
The research conducted at NIAID and at NIAID-sponsored laboratories encompasses a broad array of basic, applied and clinical studies. This research has resulted in tangible benefits to the American public and to individuals throughout the world. By supporting talented researchers and emphasizing a balance of basic studies and targeted research, we will continue to develop innovative interventions to prevent, diagnose, and treat the wide range of infectious and immune-mediated diseases that afflict humanity.
Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
National Institutes of Health
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a native of Brooklyn, New York, received his M.D. degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1966. He then completed an internship and residency at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. In 1968, Dr. Fauci came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (LCI) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). In 1974, he became Head of the Clinical Physiology Section, LCI, and in 1980 was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, a position he still holds. In 1984, Dr. Fauci became Director of NIAID, where he oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, influenza, tuberculosis, malaria and illness from potential agents of bioterrorism. NIAID also supports research on transplantation and immune-related illnesses, including autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies. Dr. Fauci serves as one of the key advisors to the White House and Department of Health and Human Services on global AIDS issues, and on initiatives to bolster medical and public health preparedness against emerging infectious disease threats such as pandemic influenza.
Dr. Fauci has made many contributions to basic and clinical research on the pathogenesis and treatment of immune-mediated diseases. He has pioneered the field of human immunoregulation by making a number of basic scientific observations that serve as the basis for current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response. In addition, Dr. Fauci is widely recognized for delineating the precise mechanisms whereby immunosuppressive agents modulate the human immune response. He has developed effective therapies for formerly fatal diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. A 1985 Stanford University Arthritis Center Survey of the American Rheumatism Association membership ranked the work of Dr. Fauci on the treatment of polyarteritis nodosa and Wegener's granulomatosis as one of the most important advances in patient management in rheumatology over the previous 20 years.
Dr. Fauci has made seminal contributions to the understanding of how the AIDS virus destroys the body's defenses leading to its susceptibility to deadly infections. He also has delineated the mechanisms of induction of HIV expression by endogenous cytokines. Furthermore, he has been instrumental in developing strategies for the therapy and immune reconstitution of patients with this serious disease, as well as for a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. He continues to devote much of his research time to identifying the nature of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of HIV infection and the scope of the body's immune responses to the AIDS retrovirus.
In 2003, an Institute for Scientific Information study indicated that in the twenty year period from 1983 to 2002, Dr. Fauci was the 13th most-cited scientist among the 2.5 to 3 million authors in all disciplines throughout the world who published articles in scientific journals during that time frame. Dr. Fauci was the world's 10th most-cited HIV/AIDS researcher in the period 1996-2006.
Through the years, Dr. Fauci has served as Visiting Professor at major medical centers throughout the country. He has delivered many major lectureships all over the world and is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for his scientific accomplishments, including 31 honorary doctorate degrees from universities in the United States and abroad.
Dr. Fauci is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute of Medicine (Council Member), the American Philosophical Society, and the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters, as well as a number of other professional societies including the American College of Physicians, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American Physicians, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Association of Immunologists, and the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology. He serves on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; as an editor of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine; and as author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,100 scientific publications, including several textbooks.

They were both horny as hell this afternoon so as soon as they were back at Seth's place they stripped each other naked and started sucking each other's cocks. Blaze bent Seth over and licked his ass, giving him a nice wet, skillful rim job then he slowly eased his hard cock into him. Blaze fucked Seth hard from behind, driving his dick deep into him and making him moan with pleasure. Seth wanted to ride so Blaze laid down and let Seth get on top and bounce on his hard cock. The two fucked like rabbits until Blaze couldn't hold out any longer so he pulled out and rained hot jizz all over Seth. Seth was so turned on by the spunk shot that it only took a couple strokes of his cock and he was exploding too. That is how you spend an afternoon!

FRISCO CITY, Alabama -- Even though Dell Walston, 75, has long been active at Frisco City United Methodist Church, she had not seen a live Nativity until last year, when she organized an extensive one.
Her own church was only part of it.
"We didn't know what we were doing," she admitted with a laugh, thinking back to the Nativity, with 10 different scenes, that sprawled across a baseball field and drew over a thousand visitors.
"We were just trusting God," she said.
As the Monroe County town, on Alabama 21 about 15 minutes from Monroeville, prepares for this year's Nativity, Walston believes it will be bigger still.
During this Christmas season, as many churches put out Nativity scenes, some with real people and animals, Frisco City's is distinctive.
"Churches come together," said Mary Malone, a city council member whose church, Lilly Baptist, is one of the participants.
"Usually in small towns," said Malone, "everybody goes to their faith, to their small church, and nobody participates with the other."
Malone's church is a historically African-American congregation.
"Both black and white churches come together to do something for the community," said Malone, whose church is responsible for station two — the angel appears to Mary.
Station one — the prophesy of Isaiah — is created by Goodway Assembly of God.
Station three, Caesar decrees a census, has Frisco City Baptist in charge, while station four, Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem, is put on by Frisco City Holiness Church.
"I believe it draws us closer together," said Billy Hodges, pastor of Oak Grove Baptist Church.
Hodges' flock is responsible for the biggest station — the city of Bethlehem. Last year, Hodges said, the station had a donkey, a mule, goats, a pen of chickens, and 45 church members in historic costumes. Hodges hopes to have 75 members involved this season.
Visitors, Hodges explains, drive by the stations, listening to the story of the shepherds, the wise men and Jesus' birth via a CD handed out at a welcome station.
The recorded version of the Biblical story is written by Ella Wayne Byrd, a Frisco City resident, and narrated by David Stewart of WMFC radio in Monroeville.
Dell Walston, Malone said, had the vision that brought the many parts together.
Walston says she was motivated by feelings of civic pride as well as religious conviction.
A resident of Frisco City since marrying Charles Walston 57 years ago, she had watched her adopted town deal with economic downturns, its once bustling downtown no longer vibrant.
The area has lost manufacturing plants — October's unemployment rate was 14.7 percent in Monroe County — and the local high school and elementary school have been shuttered.
WHAT: Christmas Comes Alive in Frisco City
WHERE: Frisco High School field
WHEN: Dec. 16 and 17, 6 to 8 p.m. nightly
"On Main Street," she said, "practically all the businesses closed."
Walston is a member of Revive Frisco City, Inc., an organization formed to improve the appearance and livelihood of the town, as she explains it.
"It seemed like we'd been asking people to help us with fundraising opportunities," she said.
She realized, "it's time we gave something back to the community."
She partnered with the town council.
Ironically, the hardships of Biblical times, she said of the Nativity scenes, spoke to contemporary conditions in a way.
"It made you realize," she said, "what the people in that time were experiencing. You can identify with it to a lesser degree."
Hodges said that civic groups also help out with the Nativity, with time and products donated by area companies. He praised the help of the local law enforcement and fire department, too.
With so many activities available for families today, Hodges said, he was delighted to see the cars lining up to cruise through the Nativity.
At a time when so many people despair, he said, "we want to present them with a theology that there is hope."
As the visitors move through the stages, they arrive at number six — the angel brings good tidings to the shepherds — put on by Megargle United Methodist Church and Excel Methodist.
Mexia Baptist is responsible for station seven — the angels rejoice.
Eight — "O Holy Night" — Pleasant Hill Baptist.
Nine — the wise men — Shiloh Baptist and Morning Star Baptist.
The 10th and ultimate station, Christ is born, is the work of Walston's church, Frisco City United Methodist.
"It's rewarding" said Walston, "to see so many people come together to work on one project that will bring honor and glory to God."

We have quite a few customers who ask about solar charging on a kayak. We spoke to the folks at Voltaic Systems who came up with the solution for solar charging laptops, ipads and phones whilst paddling.
See the following link which relates to the Voltaic Solar Laptop Charging package: http://voltaicsystems.com/blog/gear-winner-update-indonesian-seaweed-research/
One option is to put the battery in a dry case - in the US they call them Otter Boxes or Pelican Cases and connect to the battery inside the case. You would need to drill a hole in the case and seal it with something like silicone to make it waterproof. Or a storm-proof, but not waterproof solution would be to put the battery in a dry bag with a roll-top.
Another solution is to put a solar charging system such a Voltaic or Goal Zero solar panel and battery in a clear faced dry sack and attach it to the kayak.
If you are around salt water, you should cover any connections exposed to salt water with silicone tubing (looks like this : http://www.freshwatersystems.com/p-9001-silcon-silicone-tubing-18-id-x-14-od-x-1.aspx?utm_source=Googlebase&utm_medium=Feed&utm_campaign=Product&utm_term=280-0204&gclid=CM-JjYeSibcCFc0r6wodt2QACA). It's also advisable to rinse any salt water off with fresh water if it accumulates on a connection.

Aftermarket trailer hitch
Ive tried a search and couldnt find the answer i was looking for. I have been looking for a while on craigslist and ebay for a stock trailer hitch for my wj to pull my jet skis but had no luck. I know there are plenty of aftermarket ones available but im looking for more a factory look. ANybody know any company who makes a reproduction or copy of the factory setup? Anybody have pictures of a a/m hitch on there wj? so i can see how it would look
Re: Aftermarket trailer hitch
Is it a cost thing? I got a stock one from Just For Jeeps (one of our vendors). It's a very well-made unit. I was shopping around like you for aftermarket (curt, etc.), but nothing beats the factory one in my opinion. It's tucked up into the bumper and looks clean. It was not cheap at about $400 (that was for the hitch itself, the Mopar wiring harness, and the trim bezel) but it looks the way it should and it's solid. All three parts are available seperately if you already have a wiring rig set up. It does require removal of the rear bumper cover, which you have to cut. If you decide to do this, take a look at the condition of the bumper step pad. IF it's baked, or looks like crap, now is the time to address it. You need to access it from under the bumper cover. Here's how mine came out:
Re: Aftermarket trailer hitch
The look of the factory/Mopar unit is much better than the aftermarket unit that hangs low. I would expect to find a used unit at a local pick-n-pull for a reasonable price due to the number of WJ's produced and their current age. I plan to buy a used one along with the necessary pieces to do a factory-looking install and do the work myself.
It is currently much cheaper from JustforJeeps than in the past but is on backorder.

Norman's Awesome Experience is a 1989 Canadian time travel adventure comedy written and directed by Paul Donovan. Shot under the title A Switch in Time, the film was retitled to capitalize on the success of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (also released in 1989). In spite of its seeming derivative nature, Norman's Awesome Experience is notable for breaking new ground in the subgenre for a variety of artistic choices.
The movie opens in modern-day Switzerland where Norman (Tom McCamus) is a nebbish Canadian junior scientist working at a local nuclear power plant which his life takes a whole turn when an attractive Canadian model named Erica (Lori Paton) and her Italian photographer boyfriend Umberto (Jacques Lussier) persuade him to allow them access to the plant for a photo shoot. The next day, the three central characters are literally zapped back in time by a freak accident at the nuclear power plant in which none of them was an active participant. The three of them find themselves in an open field in the distant past at the exact spot where the nuclear power plant from the 20th century was. Their presence was not known to the scientists nearby, and time-travel was not the intent of the experiment at the nuclear facility. Therefore, Norman and his two friends are completely unable to return to their own time and they do not even bother seeking an attempt to get back, nor do they concern themselves with the possibility of changing history.
The Parisian locale of the film is about to be annexed by the Roman Empire at the time the protagonists arrive (during the reign of the Emperor Nero). The Roman soldiers whom capture Norman, Erica, and Umberto actually speak Latin (presented with English subtitles). Only Umberto can speak Latin and is therefore able to effectively communicate and function in the society. The three are taken to a small village where several dozen local Gallic people native to the area live. But most of them speak a primitive tongue requiring Norman to communicate in gestures.
Finally, in addition to learning the ability to converse in Latin, Norman has a rudimentary technical understanding of many modern devices and is able to use his knowledge to actively alter history. Norman and the others stage a revolt and defeat the Roman soldiers garrisoning the village. But weeks later, a massive Roman army arrives to destroy the rebelling village in accordance with the Roman laws that all persons partaking in a revolt against the Roman Empire are to be put to death. Seeing to save themselves, Erica and Umberto attempt to flee only to be captured by the Romans. To save their own lives, the model and photographer become collaborators with the Romans to help put down the revolt that Norman has now taken over as the village's de facto leader.
The film ends with the Roman Army launching a massive attack against the village, but Norman and most of the villagers manage to escape by using hot air balloons. This activity is witnessed by the Roman commanding officer and the images of the balloons makes it into a book that Umberto and Erica are forced to help manufacture on a primitive printing press operated by a group of galley slaves of which they are now a part, having been sold into slavery due to their failure to stop Norman. Erica and Umberto live out the rest of their lives a slaves.
The villagers settle on a coastal area of Gaul safe from the Romans; Norman names the region Normandy and lives out the rest of his life with his new people, and thus seals his name in history.
