EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valves help reduce the harmful emissions produced by automobile engines. Since Saturn is a relatively new car company (established in the late 1980s), all Saturn vehicles ever built are equipped with EGR valves. EGR valves use a simple design to filter emissions. The design has changed little over the years, which makes removing and cleaning the EGR valve in your Saturn car basically the same no matter what model or year it is.
Things You'll Need
- Pliers
- Socket wrench
- Socket extension
- Container
- Sea-foam treatment
- Carburetor cleaner (optional)
- Hand towels
- Cotton swabs
- Replacement EGR gasket
Disconnect the negative battery cable and locate your EGR valve. Saturn EGR valves are usually located near the intake manifold and throttle body.
Carefully pull the two vacuum hoses from the EGR valve. Do not use pliers or any other tool to remove the hoses. Vacuum hoses are fragile, so using a tool may damage them.
Unplug the solenoid valve from the EGR valve. Now you will need to loosen the bolts to remove the EGR valve from the vehicle. The EGR valve has three bolts: two in front and one in the rear. The rear bolt may be difficult to access. Use a socket extension to help you reach it. Remove the EGR valve and discard the old gasket.
Soak the EGR valve in the sea-foam treatment to loosen up and remove most of the carbon buildup. Let the EGR valve soak for at least a couple of hours, overnight if possible. Soaking the valve in the treatment is optional, but it will help you properly clean the EGR valve. If you do not have time to soak it, see the tips below.
Use your hand towel to clean any leftover carbon buildup from the valve. Open the valve and thoroughly wipe the inside. Insert cotton swabs into each vacuum opening to remove any carbon buildup from inside. Reinstall the EGR valve with the new gasket. Installation is the reverse of removal.
Tips & Warnings
- If you do not have time to soak the EGR valve, use a carburetor cleaner with a spray nozzle instead. Make sure the cleaner is labeled "safe for catalytic converters," or it may damage your system. Spray the cleaner inside the valve and scrub with the towel and cotton swab; it will eventually come clean, but will take more effort than soaking it will.
- Do not install your EGR valve without a new gasket. Visit your local auto parts store or Saturn dealer for a replacement EGR gasket.

they should have a version that uses XQD slot(s); SD is too fragile.
mezastel: Oh ffs, Hasselblad, all we want is a digital XPan, okay? None of this stuff. Just a digital XPan with a set of 3 lenses and a wide sensor behind it. That's it! That's literally all you have to do to sell a decent amount of cameras to landscape photographers.
i cannot agree more. hopefully whatever they've learned in developing this would be used to create the digital XPan.
if Kodachrome comes back, i will consider buying film again.
Reason to consider: Ricoh GR *drops mic*
$2,000 for a camera with tiny, outdated (non-BSI) sensor? Granted that Olympus probably produces the best colors for any sensor (Panasonic or Sony) OOC, no way this can compete in the Pro _mirrorless_ market...let alone the Pro market.
"Considering the size of its sensor, the GFX 50S is impressively small and light."
FujiFilm has a newly-developed alloy technology that makes the camera proportional to the weight of your wallet after you pre-order it.
Fun fact: Leica and Hasselblad actually tried to license the technology first for use with their cameras but the resulting prototypes kept floating away.
dpreview editors, are you using some kind of post-editing image stabilization on the close-ups? it's so annoying to watch...use a tripod, guys.
"There is another issue, however. Even without a mirror flipping out of the way in this rangefinder, the shutter causes blur at speeds near 1/125sec when using the 90mm F2 Summicron."
hello, DPReview Team...a couple of questions: What metering mode are you using? also, are you using Live View and/or EVF? I believe what you are witnessing is one of the lesser-known issues known as some kind of pre-exposure "shutter shock" (Lloyd Chambers had a post about this on his website). In order to avoid this, you should not use EVF, should not use Live View, and switch metering from "Advanced" (which is the default) to "Classic."
I know, right? For such an expensive camera, this issues should not exist! The horror! ;-)
Full disclosure: I am a Leica M user
bobbarber: Well, I see that Ricoh got a lens that is sharp in the corners wide open, whereas Nikon failed.
Somebody was arguing with me forever on the Nikon A thread, trying to convince me that the corners of the Nikon A were sharp. And he had the cajones to do it even with the Nikon A sample images available and the flaws in the corners pointed out to him!
This camera interests me. I never got the Ricoh GR thing in the past, and I'm a cult camera kind of guy. But this thing looks way cool.
If it doesn't deviate from the smaller-sensor GR-Ds (which it doesn't seem to), then it's poised be one of the best (if not the best) "photographer's P&S" in the market for a long time.
this will eat a good portion the target market that Fuji X100s and Sony RX-1 currently has.
I've gone through a lot of camera bags: Tamrac, Lowepro, ThinkTank, Crumpler, and so many others...IMO nothing comes close to the workmanship, design, and usefulness of a Billingham (I have the Hadley Pro). Its quick-release flap designs without the use of ugly/loud velcros is one of the many reasons it stands out from its competition.
CameraLabTester: These top ten images show why Time Magazine is in drastic decline of readers and viewers.
There's already so much suffering, anguish and bloodshed in tabloids, blogs, and social media... why replicate it again and again?
The only saving grace is the tornado.
@CameraLabTester, your comment is bizarre; you complain about photos depicting suffering and anguish and bloodshed and yet the one you point out as "saving grace" is the tornado photo as if the tornado signifies happiness and unicorns?
And as @topstuff said, you missed the point.
I personally think Dominic Nahr's photo is the most striking...but that's me, of course.
Guys and gals...I think we are all glossing over its one important feature: since the Logo looks like an arrow, it serves another purpose: you can put a Post-It that says "Photographer Wannabe" or simply "Douche" on the latch beneath the arrow. Everyone wins.
I keed, I keed.
No, I won't be caught dead touching this bag...let alone use one.
Banana Chips™: The lack of CRC (floating element) is a disappointment...
@maxpayne: why the hate? also, the 24/1.4 AFS doesn't have CRC either...
I can understand why Nikon decided not to add CRC; it already has aspherical elements...maybe enough to make up for the lack of CRC...we'll have to see when the first review comes...
The lack of CRC (floating element) is a disappointment...
VivaLasVegas: It surely revolutionize the price of P&S.
this is the most awesome comment in the history of dpreview. like!
fantastic B+W conversion. I would love to know your technique!

Kyle: Rhythm and SkillMature
I didn't know what to do. She had just grabbed me out of the blue, dragging me onto the dance floor without even asking if I wanted to. Well she was about to learn that I can't dance.
There she was, dancing like some modern day professional. She looked like she knew what she was doing as she bopped about, laughing and having fun. I simply stood in my place, doing a couple of safe moves. I suppose, maybe a little too safe. Too old fashioned. I was making a fool of myself.
I turned away from her, almost running back to where Keri was sitting. Wait, did I want to be with her? I weighed it up in my head: do I publically humiliate myself or put up with someone I don't like?
Reluctantly, I returned to Keri and picked up my drink.
"Not a dancer then?" She smiled thickly, feeling like she was winning.
Why did I feel like I had to prove myself to her? The thing that mattered was that I did. "Just here for a drink." I waved my pint, taking another sip. She eyed me suspiciously. I gave her a fake smile before returning to Saoirse as she jumped up and down in time to the music. She smiled at me and I didn't know what to do.
"Are you alright?" She shouted over the music.
"Fine!" I replied, trying to dance. She laughed a little, taking my hands and showing me how to dance a little better. I smiled in appreciation, releasing her hands and trying on my own. It was then that Keri crept up behind me, moving me out of the way so she could dance with Saoirse. I nodded politely, letting her through and retreated to the table, sure that I had made enough of a fool of myself for the time being. Through the dancers, I could see the two girls talking and laughing, both sharing the occasional glance back to me. Maybe I was being paranoid.
No, I was being paranoid.
"Hey." This girl said as she looked at me from her standing position. I reciprocated the greeting, unsure what the hell was going on. First my boss and her sister invite me out to this club then I have some random girl flirting with me. "Alright?"
I smiled in response, nodding gently. She pulled a seat out, popping herself down opposite me, placing her colourful drink on the table. "You with anyone?" I nodded, cradling my drink. "Friends?"
I knew that I had to say something, but what could I say? I had done such a good job of avoiding flirting so why was today being such a problem? "Yeah." I sighed, wondering what I could do.
I saw the two girls coming over as the song finished and I sighed again. I opened my mouth, worried about what was going to come out. "I'm Kyle. Nice to meet you."
Saoirse and Keri stepped up to the table as the next song started. I finished my beer, hoping that that would help things. It didn't.
I was so screwed.

Never mind The Hobbit. If there is one Kiwi production not to be missed this month it is New Zealand's final Test of an extraordinary year at Twickenham. Victory over England will complete the first unbeaten season by any All Blacks side since 1997. If that sounds reasonably impressive, consider this: in their past 20 Tests – won 19, drawn 1 – Richie McCaw's team have scored 87 tries and buried all the home unions somewhere close to the core of Middle-earth.
How do they do it, these quiet assassins? If ever there was an excuse to give everyone else a break it was this year, with an elusive World Cup finally bagged. Instead, they have steadily improved, to the point where even hard-bitten former All Blacks such as Sean Fitzpatrick are increasingly smitten. "They're probably 20-30% better than anyone else at the moment," he says, breezily. "They're definitely a better team than the one which won the World Cup 12 months ago."
A quick glance at the 2012 ledger bears him out. Aside from a draw against Australia – they had already clinched the Rugby Championship title by then – they have ripped most people apart. Scotland played reasonably well at Murrayfield three weeks ago and still conceded 51 points, with six tries.
"I was in Scotland and what struck me was their willingness to play the game, score tries and to create space, as well as the speed with which they recycled the ball," says Fitzpatrick, part of the Sky Sports team covering Saturday's men's and women's internationals at Twickenham. "It all adds up to a pretty special team."
It helps, obviously, to have greats such as Dan Carter and McCaw to steer the rookies through any pockets of touring turbulence. Gushing tributes also have to be balanced against a mean streak that has yielded bans for Andrew Hore and Adam Thomson. Only a curmudgeon, even so, would ignore the peach-sweet quality of some of their rugby. A good deal of it has made the home unions look positively ham-fisted.
Passing is the most obvious example, forwards included. The more attritional English Premiership breeds a combative athlete but there is no such animal as a New Zealander with a dodgy skill-set. Before Sonny Bill Williams jumped ship, he, Conrad Smith and Carter were making the game look easier than almost any other midfield in history. Just ask Ireland, who lost 60-0 in Hamilton in June.
Warren Gatland, currently dividing his time between coaching Wales and preparing for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia next summer, knows a good All Blacks side when he sees one. As a Kiwi he has long felt the strong schools setup in New Zealand makes a difference, ensuring a handy conveyor belt of talent who are already oven-ready when they enter the professional ranks. "It's history. It's public expectation. It's the jersey and what that means.
"As an All Blacks coach you don't have to think about motivating your players because you know it is already there. The players don't come from privileged backgrounds. They know that by putting that jersey on they are opening up other opportunities further down the line to be able to set themselves up financially."
All of this chimes with Fitzpatrick, capped 92 times by his country. "It's the coaching they're getting at a younger age, and their lifestyle. When the school bell sounds, they run outside and learn to kick the ball off both feet and pass off both hands. They're also dedicated. We all grow up wanting to be All Blacks. A lot of us are dreamers at a very young age. For me that's one of the keys to why the All Blacks keep winning. All the little Johnnies in New Zealand want to be Richie McCaw or Dan Carter. Watch the ITM Cup and you can see them coming."
Success, in other words, breeds success. Few know more about this phenomenon than Andy Farrell, part of the great Wigan team that once ruled the roost in rugby league. He played against the all-powerful Kangaroos touring sides and recognises the All Blacks' current swagger. "They're the best team in the world because they've learned together. When I came into the Wigan setup we'd already won everything for five years and we went on to win everything for another five years.
"As a kid I was playing in the second team with 14 internationals. It builds and builds. You learn together and you get better together."
This still does not entirely explain how Aaron Smith, his namesake Ben, Tamati Ellison, Brodie Retallick and Sam Cane slot in like old stagers from minute one. When McCaw heads off for his sabbatical, Kieran Read will pick up the leadership baton without blinking.
The former All Blacks fly-half Andrew Mehrtens has a theory that Kiwis are naturally good at adapting and innovating. "I've found that if you ring a call centre in the UK or in France, people will often tell you they can't help because it isn't their bag, whereas in New Zealand they'll tend to give it a go to find a solution," he has said.
Sweeping generalisation? Perhaps, but Fitzpatrick believes the current squad's work ethic is another key ingredient. "For me, as a past All Black, it's good to see their willingness to be a better team.People have been talking about this being a defining time for English rugby, but this year has shown the All Blacks want to take the game to the next level. There are not many superstars in the team but individually they do the simple things very well and they don't make mistakes. That puts huge pressure on the opposition."
So are Steve Hansen's crew better than, say, the fondly-remembered All Blacks sides of 1967-68, 1987-88, 1996-1997 or 2011? Fitzpatrick should know better than most. "They're pretty close now. There are not many weaknesses, they're very efficient and they play a great style of rugby.
"They also want to be the best they can be. Even the average guys in a team like that will become above average. It was the same with the 1987 team. Take out John Kirwan and Michael Jones and there were guys like me who just did their jobs and did them well. Collectively we were very powerful."
The rest of the world, in short, needs to improve quick. At least the world-leaders are human, a sickness bug having swept through the team-room this week. As Gatland also points out, they are not huge up front. England might just fancy testing them physically, as France did in the World Cup final.
"They are a little bit concerned about their lack of size," says Gatland. "There's a worry if someone really put it to them. When we put a bit of pressure on them physically in the second half they were blowing a bit. I've never seen a New Zealand team blow like that." Crucially, though, the All Blacks were out of sight by then. Gatland also pays them an affectionate compliment when he suggests they bend the rules better than anyone else.
So does Fitzpatrick reckon England will be brushed aside? "I'd like to think so but Twickenham is a difficult place to go and win. On paper you'd say they were 10 or 15 points better but at Twickenham it can be really difficult."
History suggests they will rise to that challenge. Catch them while you can.

Wild Turkey in New Jersey
The Division's Turkey Restoration Project represents one of the greatest wildlife management success stories in the history of the state. By the mid-1800s, turkeys had disappeared in New Jersey due to habitat changes and killing for food. Division biologists, in cooperation with the NJ Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, reintroduced wild turkeys in 1977 with the release of 22 birds. In 1979 biologists and technicians began to live-trap and re-locate birds to establish populations throughout the state. By 1981 the population was able to support a spring hunting season, and in December, 1997, a limited fall season was initiated.
There is now an abundance of wild turkeys throughout the state with turkeys found wherever there is suitable habitat. Even in South Jersey, where wild turkeys had been struggling just a few years ago, intensive restoration efforts have improved population numbers significantly. The population is estimated at 20,000 - 23,000 with an annual harvest of more than 3,000.
Youth turkey hunters aged 10 to 16 with a permit can hunt in any hunting period in the zone that they draw a permit for during the spring season. Youth hunters aged 10 to less than 14 must be under the supervision of a licensed adult who is at least 21 years of age. The adult does not have to have a turkey permit, but they do have to have a regular license. This regulation applies until the youth takes a turkey. After taking a turkey, the youth is subject to the same hunting period and zone restrictions as an adult.
Kudos goes out to New

Kudos goes out to New Jersey and their successful efforts in reintroducing wildlife and managing it to the point of being able to create a hunting season or two. This is just one of many other successes of reintroduction we have read about in recent weeks. The great thing here too is the introduction of a youth hunt that allows us to get young men and women out into the fields and woods more. Great Job New Jersey!
This is a great story.
Submitted by numbnutz on Wed, 2011-10-26 18:04.
This is a great story. Reintroducing and sound management at it's finest. It amazing that in this short time turkeys have been brought back to a state that had none. Started with 22 birds and now have a population of 20,000-30,000 birds. Thats just incredible. I love that they offer youths a great chance at the turkeys too. Oregon had a similar sucess story. Now we have an abundant amount of birds. Spring hunts are OTC and fall is mostly draw but there are a few OTC areas where turkeys have flurished. I have one been bird hunt once and it was last spring. I'm hoping to make it out this fall but now it's not looking so good. We can get up to 3 birds a year now, thats how good our population is. I really like reading sucess stories like this. Keep up the good work..
I have hunted turkey for 3 or
Submitted by Ca_Vermonster on Wed, 2011-10-26 14:42.
I have hunted turkey for 3 or 4 years now, and I can't seem to close the deal. But I most say, it's a really exciting type of hunting! We have a similar story here in San Diego county where they introduced just a few birds about 18-20 years ago, and now the population is very similar to that of New Jersey's. It's doing so well, that you can get 3 mirds in the spring, and they even opened a fall season for the first time 2 years ago.
Glad to see them doing so well in New Jersey! Also glad to see another state giving youth the opportunity at an extra or special season to get into some different animals, in this case, turkeys!

I have never installed cv axles before but I thought I would give it a try. The job took a little longer than expected but I did get everything done on my daughters 1996 accord. I had trouble getting the left side in so I removed the retaining clip. I will be retaking it apart so that I can put that clip back in. I will just try to squeeze the clip so it is a little tighter.

Comments about CARQUEST CV Shafts New CV Axle Shaft Assembly:
People should not post reviews that haven't actually used the product. Buying the wrong item is an issue of your own competence (or lack thereof), not an issue of part quality, as a negative review would suggest. The part itself is in fact of fair quality as even a cursory visual inspection would suggest. Beyond that there's not a whole lot to say about a driveaxle, aside from the fact that it comes with all the parts needed for part replacement. Functionality is what you would anticipate, functional, including the ABS which I made sure to test. All together when you factor in the price it can't be beat.

Q:I would like to buy 2 of these for my 97 Acura 3.0 CL but I see a bad review. Was there a problem and now it was resolved? Or do I still have to be concerned that I will have to return them?
2 answers
A:Yes, this part fits your 1997 Acura CL and it will be the best direct fit axle assembly for your vehicle.
A:Like another reviewer, this did not fit a customer's 1998 Acrua CL 3.0L w/Automatic trans that was in my shop. The spline count should be 27 on the transmission side. This axle had 29 and is too big.

Taste the aroma of your favorite coffee beans
Whatever coffee you wish to try next, the Saeco Xsmall will grind the beans fresh on the spot at the touch of a button. It comes equipped with a steam pipe to add a touch of milk froth pleasure to all your fresh coffee drinks. See all benefits
When it comes to the fineness of the grind, this machine never fails to satisfy. Different coffee blends require different levels of granularity for the full flavor to unfold. So the grind granularity of this machine has five adjustable settings - from the finest grind for a full-bodied espresso, to the coarsest for a lighter coffee.
The robust 100% ceramic grinders guarantee a moment of pure coffee indulgence for years to come. The ceramic material creates the ideal grind, which allows the water to flow through steadily, extracting the purest essence of the beans. And unlike other 'regular' grinders', the ceramic material prevents the coffee from overheating and tasting burnt.
Efficiency and ease of use were key inspirations when Saeco invented the first brewing group 30 years ago. And to this day, it still proves to be an inspired, resolute piece of technology. As always, it's so simple to clean – just remove it and wash it under the tap for a few seconds, then re-insert it just as easily.
The automatic cleaning cycle makes it easy to look after, and it increases the machine's longevity – giving you more time to enjoy your coffee instead of cleaning up.
The Classic Milk Frother is for those who love to assume the role of master craftsman, and it's just easy. Within seconds you can create a rich, silky layer of foam - the crowning glory of your coffee.

Nothing has struck the world about the new Pope so much as his extraordinary determination to be ordinary. Humility is the word most frequently used about his common touch. The much-quoted trope is that he long ago rejected the bishop's palace for a modest apartment and swapped his chauffeur-driven car for a bus pass. Elected pontiff, he spurned the papal limousine and returned to the conclave hostel on the coach with the cardinals. He packed his own bag and asked reception if there was a bill to pay.
There was more to this than symbolism, though his brief first appearance on the balcony in St Peter's showed his gift for sign and signifier. Catholics are big on that. The faith is rooted in sacrament, which theology defines as an outward sign of inward grace. Pope Francis pointedly refused to stand on an elevated platform when fellow cardinals approached to offer congratulation and pledges of fealty. It was as if he was saying: the old autocracy has gone, collegiality has returned; this pope is no feudal monarch, but gains his status as a first among equals.
Humility has had a bad name in recent times. Its archetype has been Charles Dickens's unctuous villain in David Copperfield. "I'm a very 'umble man, Master Copperfield... ever so 'umble," says the obsequious Uriah Heep. "I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going. My mother is likewise a very 'umble person. We live in a numble abode." Humble thus became something of a byword for a false ambitious manipulative greedy cloying insincerity. It was what the poet Southey described, rather more succinctly, as "pride that apes humility."
There can, of course, be virtue in pretence. Socrates commonly resorted to the rhetorical strategy of feigning ignorance, or pretending to be less astute than he actually was, in order to trick his opponents into contradicting themselves. But what did for humility was a combination of Enlightenment rationalism and then the Romantic movement's infatuation with individualism. The great empiricist philosopher David Hume saw humility as a vice: part of "a whole train of monkish virtues" which included fasting, penance, mortification, self-denial, celibacy, silence and solitude. All these were "everywhere rejected by men of sense... because they serve no manner of purpose; neither advance a man's fortune in the world, nor render him a more valuable member of society; neither qualify him for the entertainment of company, nor increase his power of self-enjoyment".
Things went downhill from there, via Nietzsche, to our own time when self-esteem, self-fulfilment and self-assertion are the contemporary desiderata. "If you've got it, flaunt it" renders humility an anachronism. Modern psychologists and business gurus have now began to pronounce that humility is a distinguishing trait of top business leaders – so humble individuals can again be well-adjusted valuable members of society. But this is just a new empiricism. There is something tacky about the utilitarian and instrumentalist notion that humility breeds success.
Religions have always seen humility differently. In Buddhism it is a vehicle to bring the liberation from the sufferings and vexations of consciousness. Hinduism has a similar goal of losing ego through the struggle for self-mastery. The word Islam means submission, which necessitates humility. But in common parlance, humility is often confused with modesty, bashfulness, self-effacement or lack of ambition.
It is none of those, according to the Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, who has described humility as "the orphaned virtue of our age". Humility is different from meekness or lack of self-confidence. To be humble is not to think disparagingly or unconfidently of ourselves. No, we are supposed to appreciate ourselves and our talents and skills. But we also need the capacity to be open to something greater than ourselves. "True humility is the consciousness of standing in the presence of greatness," the Chief Rabbi concludes, "which is why it is the virtue of prophets, those who feel most vividly the nearness of God."
True humility, then, is not stooping in order to look smaller than you are. That is the false modesty which fishes for compliments. It is the tale of the man who won a medal for humility and proudly wore it everywhere he went. True humility is standing at your real height next to something bigger than you which brings home to you your smallness. For the religious that is God. For others it is what Kant called the "meta-attitude that constitutes the moral agent's proper perspective on himself". As the genius father of modern science, Sir Isaac Newton put it: "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."
Shyness may be a temperament but, as the canny Jesuit now occupying the Vatican demonstrates, humility is more an intellectual stance. The meek are self-conscious but the truly humble are other-conscious. When Pope Francis returned to the hostel to pack, he did not just offer to settle up. He went to thank the housekeepers for their hard work behind the conclave scenes.
Acknowledging the contribution of others is key to humility, which is why the new pope bowed his head before the people of Rome and asked them to pray for him before he blessed them. It was an important gesture in a church which has a long history of devaluing the humble, as its treatment of women has shown. Humility is, historically and culturally at any rate, a particular female charism, as is celebrated in the Magnificat, the words with which Mary reacts when she is told she is to be the mother of Christ. She speaks of a God who scatters the proud in the conceit of their heart and exalts the humble, who fills the hungry with good things while the rich are sent empty away. Pope Francis began his first day in office with a visit to the largest church in Rome dedicated to Mary where he prayed before an icon of mother and child.
Catholics are scrutinising all this with the minute attention of the archaeologists who first decoded the Rosetta Stone. Will Francis's papacy mean a return to a collegial relationship between pope and bishops? Will hardline dogma take a back seat to pastoral care? Will women be given a role in Vatican appointments? (For there is no reason in canon law they should not be). Will the decadence of clerical privilege find the cruel arrogance of its power overturned? It ought, for real humility speaks less and listens more. It seeks, in the famous prayer attributed to the new pope's namesake from Assisi, not to be understood but to understand.
The paradox of Pope Francis is that in him humility and power come together. Vested interests in the Vatican will no doubt scheme to undermine him. But might humility now triumph over power? Two thousand years ago, a humble Christ clashed with a powerful establishment of high priests from his own religion and imperial Roman overlords. Then humility appeared to lose, but founded a faith to which a billion people now adhere.
Humility has infinitely deeper roots, said G K Chesterton, than many modern men suppose. On the surface, humility appears to empty itself of all power. But at a more profound level it disarms power and ultimately conquers it. True humility is strength, not weakness. "We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility," said the Hindu poet Rabindranath Tagore. Humility has nothing to prove, but everything to offer. For most of us, as Chesterton said of the Christian ideal, humility has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.Reuse content

Selected Papers
Blumenstock, JE (2016). Fighting Poverty with Data, Science, 353(6301), 753-754
Policy-makers in the world's poorest countries are often forced to make decisions based on limited data. Consider Angola, which recently conducted its first postcolonial census. In the 44 years that elapsed between the prior census and the recent one, the country's population grew from 5.6 million to 24.3 million, and the country experienced a protracted civil war that displaced millions of citizens. In situations where reliable survey data are missing or out of date, a novel line of research combines big data and machine learning to offer promising alternatives.
Blumenstock, JE, Cadamuro, G, On, R (2015). Predicting Poverty and Wealth from Mobile Phone Metadata, Science, 350(6264), 1073-1076
Accurate and timely estimates of population characteristics are a critical input to social and economic research and policy. We show that an individual's past history of phone use can be used to infer his or her socioeconomic status, and that the predicted attributes of millions of individuals can in turn be used to accurately reconstruct the distribution of wealth of an entire nation, or to infer the asset distribution of micro-regions comprised of just a few households. In resource-constrained environments where censuses and household surveys are rare, this creates an option for gathering localized and timely information at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
Blumenstock, JE, Eagle, N, Fafchamps, M (2016). Airtime Transfers and Mobile Communications: Evidence in the Aftermath of Natural Disasters, Journal of Development Economics, 120: 157-181
We provide empirical evidence that an early form of "mobile money" is used to share risk. Our analysis is based on the entire universe of mobile phone-based communications over a four-year period in Rwanda, including millions of interpersonal transfers sent over the mobile phone network. Exploiting the quasi-random timing and location of natural disasters, we show that people make transfers to individuals affected by economic shocks. Unlike other documented forms of risk sharing, the mobile-phone based transfers are sent over large geographic distances and in response to covariate shocks. Transfers are more likely to be sent to wealthy individuals, and are sent predominantly between pairs of individuals with a strong history of reciprocal exchange. [View Video]

Mobile-izing Savings with Automatic Contributions: Experimental Evidence on Dynamic Inconsistency and the Default Effect in Afghanistan - joint with Michael Callen (Harvard) and Tarek Ghani (UC Berkeley)
Through a field experiment in Afghanistan, we show that default enrollment in payroll deductions increases rates of savings by 40 percentage points, and that this increase is driven by present-biased preferences. Working with Afghanistan's primary mobile phone operator, we designed and deployed a new mobile phone-based automatic payroll deduction system. Each of 967 employees at the country's largest rm was randomly assigned a default contribution rate (either 0% or 5%) as well as a matching incentive rate (0%, 25%, or 50%). We find that employees initially assigned a default contribution rate of 5% are 40 percentage points more likely to contribute to the account 6 months later than individuals assigned to a default contribution rate of zero; to achieve this effect through financial incentives alone would require a 50% match from the employer. We also find evidence of habit formation: default enrollment increases the likelihood that employees continue to save after the trial ended, and increases employees' self-reported interest in saving and sense of financial security.
Social Networks and Migration - joint with Xu Tan (University of Washington)
How does the structure of an individual's social network affect his decision to migrate? We study the migration decisions of roughly one million individuals in Rwanda over a period of several years, using novel data from the monopoly mobile phone operator to reconstruct the complete social network of each individual in the months prior to migration. We use these data to directly validate several classic theories of migration that have historically been difficult to test, for instance that individuals with closely-knit networks in destination communities are more likely to migrate. Our analysis also uncovers several empirical results that have not been documented in the prior literature, and which are not consistent with common theories of how individuals derive value from their social networks. We propose a simple model of strategic cooperation to reconcile these results.
Why do referrals work? Selection and peer influence in a million-person network experiment - joint with Greg Fischer (LSE), Dean Karlan (Yale), and Adnan Khan (LSE)
In contexts ranging from health and agriculture to product marketing and job search, individuals referred through social networks are often more likely to take an action than individuals acting in isolation. We conduct an experiment on Pakistan's largest mobile phone network to understand why referrals are effective. The experiment allows us to separate the effect of "selection," whereby individuals referred through social networks have characteristics that make them more likely to act (Beaman & Magruder), from "influence," or the effect of the referral itself, including endorsement (BenYishay & Mobarak), enforcement (Bryan, Karlan, Zinman), and learning (Conley & Udry).
Predictors without Borders: Behavioral Modeling of Product Adoption in Three Developing Countries - joint with Muhammad Raza Khan (UW)
We develop a predictive model of Mobile Money adoption that uses billions of mobile phone communications records to understand the behavioral determinants of adoption. We describe a novel approach to feature engineering that uses a Deterministic Finite Automaton to construct thousands of behavioral metrics of phone use from a concise set of recursive rules. These features provide the foundation for a predictive model that is tested on mobile phone operators logs from Ghana, Pakistan, and Zambia, three very dierent developing-country contexts. The results highlight the key correlates of Mobile Money use in each country, as well as the potential for such methods to predict and drive adoption. More generally, our analysis provides insight into the extent to which homogenized supervised learning methods can generalize across geographic contexts. We find that without careful tuning, a model that performs very well in one country frequently does not generalize to another.
Violence and Financial Decisions: Experimental Evidence from Mobile Money in Afghanistan - joint with Michael Callen (UCLA) and Tarek Ghani (UC Berkeley)
We provide evidence that violence affects how people make financial decisions. Exploiting the quasi-random timing of several thousand violent incidents in Afghanistan, we show that individuals who are exposed to violence are less likely to adopt and use mobile money, a new financial technology, and are more likely to retain cash on hand. This effect is corroborated using data from three independent sources: (i) the entire universe of 5 years of mobile money transactions in Afghanistan; (ii) high-frequency data from a randomized experiment designed to increase mobile money adoption; and (iii) a behavioral lab-in-the-field experiment with experienced mobile money users. Collectively, the evidence highlights an economic cost of violence that operates through individual beliefs, which is large enough to impede the development of formal financial systems in conflict settings.
A Society of Silent Separation: The Impact of Migration on Ethnic Segregation in Estonia - joint with Ott Toomet (Tartu University)
We exploit a novel source of data to model the impact of migration and urbanization on segregation in Estonia. Analyzing the complete mobile phone records of hundreds of thousands of Estonians, we find that the ethnic composition of an individual's geographic neighborhood heavily influences the structure of the individual's phone-based network. We further find that patterns of segregation are significantly different for migrants than for the at-large population: migrants are more likely to interact with coethnics than non-migrants, but are less sensitive to the ethnic composition of their immediate neighborhood than non-migrants.


text: Well, this has nothing to do with my real name, as you may have guessed. It all started with this rock band I'm in at school. We were in dire need of a new name, and my friend suggested 'Scarlet Ladder' (she has a way with words). We thought it was a good idea, but didn't think it would work. Anyway, that night after school, I discovered Protagonize :D. It asked for a name, and I couldn't think of anything. I hate my real name as it sounds really dull (Kate Williamson). And then suddenly, the discussion of band names popped into my head. So I decided to call myself Scarlet-Ladder. (It's actually quite weird how many people think this is my real name...)

Aim: Insulin resistance has effects on the coagulation system, which is important in the acute phase of infarct. We examined the relationships between insulin resistance, hemostatic markers and stroke severity in acute ischemic stroke patients. Methods: Protein C (PC), protein S (PS), fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor and antithrombin III (AT III) were studied in 75 acute ischemic stroke patients with and without insulin resistance. Results: The PC and PS levels of insulin-resistant patients were significantly lower than those of non-insulin-resistant patients (
87 +/- 19.23 vs. 97.89 +/- 13.3%, p = 0.007;
84.75 +/- 15.72 vs. 93.21 +/- 15.02%, p = 0.02), and both of the anticoagulants were correlated with the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA; r = -0.339, p = 0.003 and r = -0.481, p = 0.000, respectively). Additionally, the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score correlated negatively with PS (r = -0.329, p = 0.004) and AT III levels (r = -0.235, p = 0.04). The parameters with positive correlations with NIHSS were fibrinogen (r = 0.270, p = 0.019), fasting glucose (r = 0.358, p = 0.008) and HOMA (r = 0.286, p = 0.013). Conclusions: The significant associations between insulin resistance and hemostatic markers may be relevant to stroke severity by causing a procoagulant tendency in acute ischemic stroke.

A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.
Insulin Resistance
Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS. It can be caused by the presence of INSULIN ANTIBODIES or the abnormalities in insulin receptors (RECEPTOR, INSULIN) on target cell surfaces. It is often associated with OBESITY; DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS; INFECTION; and certain rare conditions. (from Stedman, 25th ed)
THIAZOLES with two keto oxygens. Members are insulin-sensitizing agents which overcome INSULIN RESISTANCE by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma).
Enzyme that is a major constituent of kidney brush-border membranes and is also present to a lesser degree in the brain and other tissues. It preferentially catalyzes cleavage at the amino group of hydrophobic residues of the B-chain of insulin as well as opioid peptides and other biologically active peptides. The enzyme is inhibited primarily by EDTA, phosphoramidon, and thiorphan and is reactivated by zinc. Neprilysin is identical to common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA Antigen), an important marker in the diagnosis of human acute lymphocytic leukemia. There is no relationship with CALLA PLANT.
Ischemic Postconditioning
The application of repeated, brief periods of vascular occlusion at the onset of REPERFUSION to reduce REPERFUSION INJURY that follows a prolonged ischemic event. The techniques are similar to ISCHEMIC PRECONDITIONING but the time of application is after the ischemic event instead of before.

Collecting the PiecesMature
The sun had barely crept over the horizon as he stepped out of the tavern's storage room into the open air. Though a bath and fresh clothing had him looking alive, inside he felt empty. The residual withdrawal from the cloud powder accounted for some of this emptiness, the sheer joy one usually experienced when using it was nearly always followed by melancholy the next day.
Matrim could run the tavern, that left him free to spend the day hunting... he was going to find those responsible for her departure, and make them rue the day the plan drifted into their pitiful minds. Death would be too kind a punishment for these, they would need to feel pain, the pain they caused him would pale in comparison.
But first, he needed to obtain a few things. He glanced around to see if anyone was out and about along the main road. The glance was casual and only awarded him a crowd of people streaming in and out of the village, merchants primarily, the traveling sort who peddled their wares at ridiculously high prices. It was his sense of smell that told him no one he knew was nearby.
Armed with this knowledge, he proceeded out the gates and followed along the wall, searching for a small patch of woods that lay just outside the village. Once more, he surveyed the area to be sure he wasn't followed. Satisfied of this, he paced out the steps from the wall into a small patch of bushes. Scraping the dirt aside revealed a small plank buried in the forest floor.
Without hesitation he pulled it up to expose the small hole and chest concealed underneath it. "One of these day's you're going to pay for your carelessness old man." The lock had begun to rust, he'd need to return with one that had been treated properly. A key produced from a pouch on his belt fit snugly and resisted a he tried to quietly open the lock. When it failed to budge he gave it a sharp twist and then paused to wait as the sound echoed off into the woods.
He took his time in carefully withdrawing each item he wanted, laying them out on the forest floor. A rolled up kit of tools, a small box of strange herbs, a folded bundle of clothing, a pair of bracers, and a set of blades were each looked over and given his approval before the chest was sealed back up and returned to its hiding place. A large sheet of canvas hidden under his tunic was then used to bundle up all the items for the short trip back into town.

Discussion in 'The Water Cooler' started by whoosh, Apr 16, 2014.
The truth is out there.
I have no doubt about that we have something we don't know hoovering about. I do repeat myself from another thread, we should get a good Science Fiction = wider lines of thought thread. Like I've stated, I'm a Bible Believer, and four interesting facts could be given here: 1. The Bible does not deny the existence of other life [forms] elsewhere. That conception is due to limited understanding. 2. The Bible simply states, The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men, Psalms 115:16 - raises the question if other realities are given to others? Doesn't it? And what and Who is this LORD, precisely? This will represent blasphemy to many, but I don't think I got these brains for nothing - why would a creation be created to not use its abilities? 3. The major force of churches declared the earth to be flat. The Bible proves it to be round. Whom would you believe? 4. Scientists have declared all the time that there is no water in space. The Bible has proved there is water in space and now, surprise surprise, they find water in space. I'm sorry I can't remember references for 3 and 4. If asked, I'll find them. Seekermeister wrote that he believes the Bible to be true, but it doesn't necessarily contain all of the truth. I believe there's a lot we need to find out about ourselves. Considerately to everyone. Even considerate to folks of another belief system.

The Room
He didn't know what to expect when he got out of the car for the first visit to see his nieces. He didn't know how he felt either which made it worse for him. He had mixed emotions. Through all of the excitement he felt guilty for the fact he thought he didn't try hard enough to find them and anxious of the turn out of the visit.
His hands were shaking as he entered the large building and the part of the building he was enetering was divided into three rooms. The one to the right,the largest, was where both girls were supervised,tested and examined by the Head Doctor and a few nurses specially trained to deal with mental illnesses for children,just in case. It was both girls' bedrooms'. The second room on the left was the room where the doctor and nurses observed them from through a large window that they could see into but the girls couldn't see out of. The third room was the Head Doctor's office,the smallest office at that.
The confined bedroom in which they had stayed for the last few hours was one painted pink,with a boarder of flowers surrounding it. When Lucas opened the door after a thorough briefing about how to manage the girls,he saw horrible drawings the children had drawn. But every picture was surrounded with black moths,everywhere around the room you could see black moths appear on the walls and even on the floor. Lucas didn't know what to make of this so he closed the door and he observed with the detective and Annabel in a window outside of the room. "As you can see much progress is to develop with Victoria as she can't remember all of her English words, they have been through so much tragic in their lives but I must uncover about what they did out in the wilderness alone. I am to record video diaries of Victoria's progress and in time they may regain to become like you or me. But both Lily and Victoria still have one word they say all of the time. The word 'MAMA'
The Investigator explained to Lucas as he gazed at both of the girls. Lily in the far corner facing the wall and Victoria hiding under the bed. Both girls were vicious and dangerous,dirty and mysterious but to their Uncle,it didn't make any difference,he was going to put things right,give the children love,affection and attention,whatever the cost.
A few days past and it was finally time for Luke to go into their room and meet them properly. He nervously but determinedly opened the door and both girls crawled like lightening across the floor and hissed at him from underneath their beds. Luke slowly walked towards their beds which only made them growl. He sat on his knees at the foot of Victoria's bed and pulled out a pair of glasses. "Victoria,it's me,your Uncle Luke. Do you remember me?" He asked patiently. "When you were little you used to wear these" He said smiling and pointing to the glasses. "They help you to see things" As he put them on the end of the bed she shuffled backwards. " I won't hurt you Victoria" A few moments later she whispered "Dad?"
"No honey I'm not your Dad" he replied softly.
"Dad?" She asked again and she carefully placed the glasses on. He shook his head but despite this she leapt over to him and hugged him. He sighed in relief and they clung onto eachother like nothing else mattered for a few minutes,Lily still growling softly in the background.

Borrowed the idea from Wilton catalog---used a 10" round and a 1/2 ball pan. All buttercream. Next time, I would use the layered pans as described in the original instructions, but didn't have them available and the customer didn't have a preference. Turned out very cute...would work for circus/zoo theme as well. Thanks for looking!

Common Field Convening: Hundreds of Arts Experts Address Cultural and Community Issues in Miami
Courtesy of Common Field
Miami transforms into the flashy center of the art world each December for Art Basel. But this week, the city will morph into a more cerebral cultural hub. Common Field Convening, commencing in Little Haiti this Thursday, is a conference that brings together arts organization administrators, artists, activists, and community leaders to hold a conversation about the challenges the art world faces.
Common Field Convening will consist of four days of panels, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. The panels include Art & Economics 101; Handling Controversy; Reflections on Power, Privilege, and Justice; and Gentrification — all issues especially relevant to Miami arts. The convening will bring together more than 350 arts organizers and individuals from across the United States and the world.
Stephanie Sherman, codirector of Common Field, says, "We're trying to create a convening where everyone has a voice. We have a smaller participation format. We're trying to move away from spectacle. Participants will walk away with a new way of thinking and new practical tools. Through connection with others, people will find new skills."
Officially founded in 2014 after a startup grant from the Warhol Foundation, Common Field is an itinerant group that has made a network of artist-centered organizations across the nation. It aims to create a platform for arts organizations to support experimental, contemporary, and noncommercial artists and their work. For its second-annual convening, Common Field partnered with four Miami artist organizations: Bas Fisher Invitational, Cannonball, Dimensions Variable, and Locust Projects.
Chana Sheldon, executive director of Locust Projects, says, "It's a really great opportunity to put out there what is happening in Miami all year long, outside of Art Basel week. The arts organizations are doing this full-time, year-round. We have a commitment to the city and artists, so we want people to know about the Miami art scene outside of one time of the year."

Miami has always been on the radar for Common Field. Sherman, who has been working with a Miami artist since 2009, says, "I've seen Miami go through a transition with gentrification. A lot of the arts organizations have evolved. Miami is a special alternative art world because of the tight-knit community, network of collectors, and international acclaim. Miami has an ecology of resources, and a lot of opportunities."
Sherman believes that many of the issues that trouble the art scene in Miami are also broader national issues. The theme for this year is "Arts Organizing in a Time of Accelerated Capitalism." Sherman hopes to explore the solutions to difficult questions at the convening.
"How can art be a moment of change and incite provocation? How are we operating in a scope of privilege? Do we work in the system or against it? How do we incorporate a response that feels appropriate to the current social and political challenges?" Sherman says. "The convening is a place to exchange these kinds of ideas. Artists are a mobile and nomadic bunch, and they need to cope with an accelerated and capitalistic world. We'll explore how to navigate the climate at the convening."
Common Field Convening. Thursday, October 20, through Sunday, October 23, at Little Haiti Cultural Center (212 NE 59th Ter., Miami). Tickets start at $125. Visit convening.commonfield.org .

The Camino de Santiago was completely out of my comfort zone and entirely worth it! I was able to fully open my heart to Christ through my sufferings and allow Him to work in me as I journeyed across Spain with my amazing brothers and sisters in Christ.

My team and I started around the halfway point on the Camino and were fully accepted as fellow pilgrims even by our more seasoned brothers and sisters that started way back in St Jean Pied de Port, France which is technically the beginning of the Camino.

Errol talks his way out of it
"Oh, I'm sorry", said Errol, with an apologetic look, while kicking at some unseen dirt sheepishly. "I'm just hungry."
"That's OK", said the man. "The reason I grabbed your wrist, is because I recognized you right away."
Errol looked more closely at the man's face, and had to stifle an audible gasp.
"Yes, it's me, son. Let's go home."
And so, it was that the prodigal Errol, who had disappeared so many years ago, an angst ridden teen, more interested in finding out who he wasn't than more importantly, who he was, had ran away only to be hurt by anyone who pretended to call themself his friend.
And it was then that Errol realized that home truly was where the heart was.

In a blow to Lovells' acquisition finance practice, star banking partner Adam Freeman has quit to join Linklaters.
Freeman's resignation was announced to the Lovells partnership last night, but the terms of his exit have not yet been finalised.
Freeman's promotion to the partnership in 2003 formed part of a renewed push by Lovells into banking. His clients include CIBC and Societe Generale.
Although Lovells captured SocGen's first acquisition finance mandate following its panel, but has been unable to lever itself out of mid-tier transactions. This is understood to be one of the reasons behind Freeman's decision to join Linklaters.
Lovells and Linklaters declined to comment.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 2/5/12
MILWAUKEE Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls' point guard, is the reigning Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association. Brandon Jennings, Rose's counterpart on the Milwaukee Bucks, would very much like to get to that level someday. If Saturday night was any indication, Jennings has a lot of ground to cover. Before the game, Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles warned about Rose's abilities. "They're a good screening team and they run a ton for him," Skiles said. "All he needs is half a body to get around his guy. Other people have to step up, make him change direction or spin. ... If he's attacking the front of the rim, they're almost always going to win. At least try to make him play horizontally instead of vertically; you at least have a chance." Skiles' words were prophetic. Running off screens, shooting face-up jumpers and just putting the ball on the floor and driving to the basket, Rose put on a clinic, scoring 16 points in the first quarter as the Bulls built a 16-point lead after one period and a 24-point lead at halftime. They rolled their way to a 113-90 victory in front of 18,717 fans at the Bradley Center, most of them wearing Bulls colors and chanting "M-V-P" every step of the way. "I was taking what they were giving me," Rose said. "They were giving me my shot, and I was taking it. Thank God tonight it was going in." Rose hit seven of his first 11 shots, including three three-pointers, not missing until there was 3:56 left in the first half. His performance left little doubt that he's still the premier point guard in the Eastern Conference and quite likely all of the NBA. "He did everything out there," Chicago head coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He made the game simple. ... He made plays." Rose finished his night with a game-high 26 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes. In 14 career games against Milwaukee, he is averaging 20.9 points, 8.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds. "It was kind of a lay-up drill for him for a good portion of the game," Skiles said. "Rose had his way out there. The guy is an MVP-type player. It takes a total team effort to stop him, and we weren't able to." Jennings, meanwhile, saw limited action (10 minutes) in the first half after picking up two fouls in the first 6 minutes. He was held scoreless until 6:11 remained in the third quarter - finally hitting a 15-footer from the baseline to make it 77-53 -- and finished the game with just eight points on 4-for-10 shooting and five assists in 22 minutes. "(Rose) wasn't missing in the beginning," Jennings said. "They are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. They just seemed to have kept it going the whole first half and it just seemed like we couldn't stop them at all." Getting Jennings out of the game early helped the Bulls pull ahead big. Losing Jennings, who had scored 20 or more points in nine of the last 10 games (averaging 23.9 during that stretch), changes the way the Bucks - also playing without big man Andrew Bogut - operate. Skiles turned to reserves Beno Udrih and Shaun Livingston to fill in, but neither player has the speed or ability to take over a game like Jennings. "He's such a tough cover," Thibodeau said. "He can get rolling really fast on you. We were fortunate he got into foul trouble. That slowed them down early." Saturday was a stark contrast from the last meeting of the two teams, a 107-100 Bulls victory in Chicago on Jan. 27. In that game, Jennings and Rose scored 59 points combined. "Derrick remembers things," said Rose's teammate, guard Kyle Korver. "Last time we played Milwaukee, Brandon Jennings really went at him in the first quarter. Derrick really wanted to attack." The Bulls have plenty of talent, especially now that small forward Luol Dang is back in the lineup and showing few lingering issues from a wrist injury. But for all the good players Thibodeau has at his disposal, Skiles sees nobody more important than Rose. "They have a guy that's at the top of the league, the best at his position," Skiles said. "He is truly a great player." Follow Andrew Wagner on Twitter.
