The Takeaway
Islamic Extremism in Yemen
There are increasing worries Al Qaeda is using the instability in Yemen to spread its influence. An American military operation assassinated the radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki last year. One week ago militants took over the town of Radda. Stephen Sackur, with our partner the BBC, sent this report.

Philippine Children's Medical Center, Quezon City, Philippines
PURPOSE: The objective was to determine the efficacy of virgin coconut oil (VCO) as an adjunct therapy in pediatric community acquired pneumonia.
METHODS: This is an experimental single blinded randomized controlled trial conducted to 40 children admitted because of community acquired pneumonia. Group A (VCO group) received intravenous Ampicillin plus 2 ml/kg/day of virgin coconut oil orally taken for a maximum period of three days and Group B received intravenous Ampicillin alone. After the observation period, they were evaluated as to good clinical response or treatment failure. The time to normalization of respiratory rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, proportion of patients with adverse effect and overall duration of hospitalization were determined. The outcome was analyzed using the t-test, Chi-square or Fischer's exact test.
RESULTS: The VCO group had 1 treatment failure while the control group had 2 treatment failures but this was not statistically significant. The respiratory rate of the VCO group significantly normalized earlier than the control group [32.6 hrs (SD=21.73) vs 48.2 hrs (SD 17.62); p= 0.017]. More patients under the control group were still noted to have crackles at 72 hours compared to VCO group [12/20 (60%) vs 5/20 (25%) p =0.025]. VCO supplementation resulted in earlier time to normalize temperature (18.8 hrs vs 24.6 hrs; p 0.299) and oxygen saturation (60.9 hrs vs 74.15 hrs; p 0.48) and shorter hospitalization (75.9 hrs vs 91.85 hrs; p 0.391) than the Control group but was not statistically significant. Forty percent developed soft stools, 5 % had vomiting and 55 % had no adverse effect with VCO supplementation.
CONCLUSION: Virgin coconut oil is an effective adjunct therapy for pediatric community acquired pneumonia in accelerating the normalization of respiratory rate and resolution of crackles.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Pneumonia is still a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The use of interventional measures such as VCO as an adjunct therapy can improve management of this problem.

Do I need a body lift?
I want to put the RE 3.5" super flex lift on my Jeep and run 33X12.5's. Do I need a body lift? I have noticed that most people that run a 3.5" lift also have a 1" body lift. What is the point of a body lift and why do so many people have them?
More tire clearance and allows for you to do a "tummy tuck" when ever you want if you don't do it at the same time
Let me also add that if you don't have a rubi you will have to do a T Case drop or SYE.. Also with bigger tires you will want to regear
What is a "tummy tuck"?
It's a skid plate that adds ground clearance from the stock underbody skid that you might have
Cool. Thanks for the quick reply!
No Prob
Rokmen Products
You don't need a body lift with the RE 3.5, it runs close to 4". so 33's should be fine.
I plan to go with the SYE.
I am thinking that I will just go with the lift at first. I am afraid of adding the body lift and having too much space between the tire and the bottom of the fender and it looking funny. Eventually I want to upgrade to a set of Gen Right tube fenders so I think that will take care of any clearance issues I might encounter?

Couple Arrested after Home Invasion
MARION COUNTY--A couple is behind bars after a home invasion.
34-year-old Christina Lyn brick and 31-year-old Jason Michael Lain were arrested on Monday, January 7th.
Brick and Lain allegedly broke into an 80-year-old woman's home and threatened to shoot her.
The victim says she heard the suspects calling out each others names while ransacking her home.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office says they had help catching the suspects.
"One thing we learned immediately from the scene is that the victim was able to recognize the voices of the suspects and because of her years in radio she is voice sensitive and she was able to pick up the voices." -Judge Cochran, Spokesperson for the Marion County Sheriff's Office
Deputies found Brick and Lain at a local motel and discovered the victims belongings in a motel room and a pickup truck.
A witness told detectives that the pair left their seven and one-year-old children alone in the motel.
Both are facing one count of home invasion robbery, one count of tampering with a victim, and two counts of child neglect.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am currently a prior-enlisted midshipman. I was honorably discharged from enlisted service before reporting to the Naval Academy. I have received a "Certificate of Eligibility" from the Department of Veterans Affairs entitling me to 70% of Post 9/11 GI-Bill Benefits. My contract is up and I want to transfer to a civilian institution.
My question is: If I was to voluntarily resign from the Naval Academy and was given a General Discharge (Under Honorable Conditions) as a midshipman, would this revoke my previously approved GI-Bill eligibility that I gained during my first period of enlisted service?
A VA representative stated that "periods of service [at service academies] do not count toward qualification for post 9/11 GI Bill." ....But does it count toward DISqualification?
FWIW, I do not believe it will have any impact on your previously approved eligibility--but why not get that straight from the VA. Call them again. Best of luck shipmate.
NOT LEGAL ADVICE. FOR EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ONLY. Mr. Rafter is licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the US Federal Courts in Virginia. There is no implied or actual attorney-client relationship arising from this education exchange. You should speak with an attorney licensed in your state, to whom you have provided all the facts before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. Mr. Rafter is under no obligation to answer subsequent emails or phone calls related to this matter.Ask a similar question
The final deciding authority on 9/11 GI Bill is VA, but you can appeal their determination. Prior-enlisted servicemembers with honorable discharges qualify for GI Bill. Thus, contact the VA, and if you have any issues on the appeal, then you may want to consider hiring an attorney.

If you seek legal advice on military law issues, contact an military law attorney. My contact information is email@example.com or 804-955-9867.Ask a similar question
You need to contact the VA. You can reach the VA to answer GI Bill related questions at www.gibill.va.gov or by telephone at 1-888-GIBill1. If you have questions concerning the transferability of benefits, email them to www.dmdc.osd.mil/TEB. Good luck. If you still need help getting the answer you are looking for, give me a call. The initial consultation is always free.Ask a similar question
I agree with the others. You should go right to the source and ask the VA. I know a VA rep may have made that statement, but you should seek your further clarification straight from them, and specifically ask them to cite you to the legal source (regulation, policy, etc.) so you can take a look at it yourself. If you disagree with the answer you are given, or you ultimately want to appeal a benefits denial, you should contact an attorney.Ask a similar question

What looks like a grass, isn't a grass, takes more shade than grass, and lights up your garden like grass never could? A plant that most of you have never heard of until now. Japanese sedge.
People elsewhere in the country rail against lawns, but here in the rainy, humid South, we like them. They cool the air, cover up the mud, reduce run-off, stop erosion, and are tender on the tootsies. This is why you must provide them with a modicum of care, lest yours end up looking like this.
My stepson, Tom, and his fiancee, Ashley, just bought their first house. They were excited, but also intimidated by the overwhelming tasks that awaited. For 10 years, the little old lady who sold the house hadn't cleaned inside (she had pets in there — hazmat suits required) nor trimmed anything outside. What plants should Tom and Ashley remove? What should […]
Faithful reader D.T. Matthews writes, "When my son cuts the grass, it leaves clumps all over the yard. Everywhere he cuts, it looks terrible. My neighbors are ready to run me out of the neighborhood. What is he doing wrong?"
It's August — the absolute worst month in the South to be a snowman, and not so great for a gardener either. You can't stand to be outside and yet your plants need you. As you look out upon a melted mush of flowers and bushes, you may well remember the first day you planted them and ponder, "What the […]
Today marks the start of Grumpy's 33rd year of not being fired from Southern Living. I know, I know — how could any organization overlook more than three decades of sarcasm, bad taste, poor judgment, and blatant snarkiness? I still remember my first day on the job. I was 10 and had to sit on what was called a "telephone […]
You want a pretty lawn, so your neighbors won't talk about you. (They will anyway, but let's continue.) But you hate all the watering, fertilizing, and disease and weed control that producing one requires. So I'm going to give you an easy out — the single, best way to produce that thick, green carpet your neighbors will resent AND decrease […]
Violets are such sweet, little wildflowers that it's hard to believe that anyone other than Dear Leader would want them dead. But believe it or not, Grumpy regularly receives requests for advice on how to eradicate these gentle plants. Has the world gone over to the dark side?
See what happens when you don't mow your lawn and let weeds grow up all over the place? The city places an embarrassing sign in front of your house. This is Grumpy's neighbor and Grumpy would like to know how you feel about it.
This plant sure looks pretty, doesn't it? Kinda like English ivy with kaleidoscopic leaves of red, pink, yellow, and green. It sports pretty white flowers too. DO NOT PLANT IT! If you do, you will be sorrier than Angelina Jolie after she married Billy Bob Thornton.

Objectives: Using the large database from the
Epidemiologic Study of Cystic Fibrosis (ESCF), the objectives of this
study were to (1) estimate the reported prevalence of allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with cystic fibrosis
(CF); (2) compare reported prevalence rates across geographic regions;
(3) compare reported prevalence rates between patient subgroups based
on demographic and disease characteristics; and (4) describe the ABPA
group with regard to their sex, age, and disease severity.
Study design: All patients ≥ 5 years of age enrolled in
ESCF between December 1993 and May 1996 were eligible. Criteria for the
diagnosis of ABPA were defined by the ESCF guidelines. Prevalence rates
for ABPA were calculated, and potential risk factors for the diagnosis
of ABPA were analyzed, including sex, age, pulmonary function,
diagnosis of asthma, presence of wheeze, and positive respiratory
culture for Pseudomonas.
Results: There were 14,210
eligible patients enrolled in ESCF during this period, and ABPA was
diagnosed in 281 patients (2%). Regional prevalence varied from 0.9%
in the Southwest to 4.0% in the West. Increased prevalence rates
occurred in female patients, the adolescent age group, and subjects
with lower lung function, wheeze, asthma, and positive Pseudomonas
cultures. Although most ABPA patients had evidence of airway
obstruction, 10% had an FEV1 of > 100% of predicted.
The rates of wheeze (17%) and asthma (30%) were lower than expected
in the ABPA group.
Conclusions: This observational
study found a reported prevalence rate of ABPA of 2% of CF patients in
a large database. This rate was lower than the 5 to 15% rate reported
in smaller studies, suggesting that ABPA is underdiagnosed in the CF
population. There was wide regional variation in reported prevalence
rates, which is unexplained at this time. The characteristics of the
patients with ABPA and the epidemiologic risk factors for diagnosis of
ABPA were described. Simplified diagnostic criteria were adapted for
ESCF with the intent of increasing awareness of ABPA among the
participants in this study.

Chapter OneMature
'Hey, onii-chan, wake up, you'll be late for school you know!'
Tap, tap, tap, that's all I could feel as my little sister Tokoshima Kurumi was tapping my head trying to get me out of bed, it was about 6:30 in the morning and from staying up late the night before, I was still really tired.
'Alright, I'm up, Kurumi stop, I said I'm awake' I grabbed my sister's arm in an attempt to stop her from tapping me any longer.
'Honestly onii-chan, it's the same every morning' Kurumi sighed before continuing 'you're always up late talking to, what's his name again? Hisagawa Shu?' she looked at me
'Hirasawa Shu' I corrected her 'Shu isn't a bad person, anyway, get out of here, I want to get up and changed' I said pointing to my door.
'Fine, whatever onii-chan, I'll wait for you downstairs' she said as she walked out of my room.

st: Out-of-sample forecasting using OLS regression
Mon, 20 Aug 2012 18:09:10 +0100
Dear Stata users,
I am currently working on my master thesis which is focused on the Dynamic
factor model forecasting.
Unfortunately, I got stuck at the out-of-sample forecasting. After running
OLS regression when I try to do out-of-sample forecast, Stata generates the
missing values for all the observations.
2011m12 is the last observation in my sample, afterward data set was
expanded. I am using following command after running regression:
predict pcpi if t>tm(2011m12)
I would really appreciate if somebody could tell me what the potential
source of this problem is and how I could solve it.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Edin Zoronjic

The Revenge of Johan Becker
This story is about a man German named Johan Becker who lost his grandfather when he fought in World War II, and lost his great-grandfather when he fought in World War I. Becker wants to get revenge on the Americans who he blamed for the loss of his father and grandfather, so he kidnaps every American Tourist he can find and sends them to a remote Island in the Pacific, where he gives them a potion that enslaves them. Becker sends these people back to America, in an attempt to take over America.
Berlin, Germany, 2:00 PM, May 24th, 2043:
It has been 33 years since Johan Becker has been in Berlin.
33 years ago was the 100 year anniversary of his great-grandfathers death. He stands outside the League of Nations hall, the very same hall that the League of Nations met in before Germany invaded Sudetenland. The same hall that the Germans were forced to sign the Versailles Treaty in on June 28th of 1919. In Becker's opinion, the League of Nations hall was the place where the Germans lost there rights as a country and the place where the rest of the countries teamed up to try and take over Germany. Johan thought that the real country that had deserved all the hatred that Germany faced within those 4 decades was the Power-Hungry, Selfish Americans. As Johan walked passed this building, he glared at the American Flag and spat on it.
Johan Becker walked away from the building, rushing passed crowds of American Tourists. He hid his face in shame of the defeat of Germany in World War II. He rushed passed large crowds of American Tourists, and he turned back and spat towards them as he passed them.
"Those idiot Americans striding passed that hall where the greediness of their Grandparents and Great-Grandparents took away from Germany," Becker exclaimed, "Why they look at that building with a prestigious smile and stride right past it, as if the greedy choices they made does not take away from their right to live! I best use them as slave labor so they can fulfill their purpose in life!"
Becker walked past the Americans and continued until he reached the German Veteran Graveyard. He walked passed many admirable German Soldiers until he got to his grandfather. Army Colonel Joseph Becker. His Grandfather died on December 16th, 1944, fighting America in the Battle of the Bulge. He was shot in the head by an American Army General, and died after 2 hours. Johan looked at his grandfathers grave, and read a note that he noticed:
"I lie here for the rest of eternity, but I die proud because I fought for my country. I may have lost billions in the depression before the war, but I was able to keep my dignity. I thought that Germany deserved the rights it was not getting, and I fought for the Germans rights. I am honored to say I died in this war, and that I gave my life to a good cause. I may not have a lot of money to give, but I want my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and anybody else who reads this to hold on to your dignity, and be able to hold your head up high because you did something that makes you proud."
Becker wiped his tears after he read that note. He was certain that there was only one way he could honor his grandfather, make himself proud, and fight for the rights of Germany. He could never say he died with his dignity unless he accomplished what he said he wanted to. The only way he could ever make himself proud would be to accomplish this goal. The only way he could ever die with pride and dignity is to get revenge for the loss of his grandfather, his great-grandfather, and most importantly, the rights of Germany. Johan Becker needed to get revenge on the Americans.

The biggest welfare change for over 60 years may, ultimately, simplify the system. But it will also reduce funding while introducing significant additional costs for providers working with older people.
The Welfare Reform Act, which received royal assent on 8 March, will replace a host of benefits with the new universal credit. While its stated aim of simplifying things is laudable, many older people will be looking to housing associations and other specialist organisations to help navigate an unfamiliar system at a time when providers are facing significant cuts in funding.
The changes are being introduced over time. From April 2013, housing benefit payments for claimants of working age will be related to the size of the property, with payment reduced for those "under-occupying". With the phasing out of the default retirement age and many older people choosing to work later in life, this could be confusing and, potentially, hit older people in their pockets.
From October 2013, housing benefit for those of working age will gradually be swallowed up and replaced by a housing element within the new universal credit (and pension credit for those of retirement age). Claims will mostly be made and managed online and payments made by BACS on a monthly basis. As the National Housing Federation says: "Vulnerable tenants will still be able to have the housing element of universal credit paid direct to their landlord." However, "the definition of vulnerable has yet to be determined".
Housing providers committed to helping their customers are already planning ahead in anticipation of a rise in demand for benefits advice, particularly given concerns about cuts to other organisations providing that advice and possible reforms to legal aid.
There will be a need for additional staff training, and possibly additional staff, to provide this advice. Yet the welfare reforms come at a time of unprecedented financial pressure for providers. Cuts in Supporting People funding hit housing-related support when we will be increasingly dependent on that support to implement the reforms.
At Anchor, we have set up a multi-functional group to assess the risks and the impact.
Steven Flint, Anchor's financial and social inclusion manager, said: "We plan to provide our customers with relevant and timely information on how changes to housing and other welfare benefits will affect them, and the support that Anchor can provide to address any concerns.
"We will be looking at awareness campaigns, newsletter articles and welfare benefit entitlement checks. We'll be up-skilling operational colleagues to offer advice, identifying welfare reform champions in our customer service teams and promoting uptake of Discretionary Housing Payments to assist in making up potential shortfalls in entitlement."
Reforms to housing benefit coincide with shifting approaches by local authorities to what care funding individuals can expect from the state. The current care funding system is a shambles. With a social care White Paper expected soon, hopes are high that the government will, among other things, improve information and advice to older people.
Many of the 1,000 or so people who lobbied parliament on 6 March calling for reform to social care could cite examples of older people who were unable to navigate their way through the system. This amounts to institutional ageism and is replicated across many aspects of modern Britain. It's also something that many older people themselves are acutely aware of.
Anchor research which coincided with the mass lobby found 39% of older people feel like second class citizens in today's society. A shocking 29% felt vulnerable after being treated negatively as a result of their age.
As shadow minister for care and older people Liz Kendall said in a speech on 9 March: "We need a fundamental shift in the focus of services towards prevention and early intervention, to help keep people healthy and fit for as long as possible as they get older."
A period of unprecedented economic, demographic and social change brings real opportunities to challenge the status quo. But in attempting to make improvements for the older people of tomorrow, it's crucial that we manage the transition for the older people of today.

Kass'l (Orca)-class Gunship
this wiki
The Kass'l (Orca)-class Gunship (not to be confused with the orbit-to-surface Orca dropship used by the Tau in planetary operations) is an Escort level starship used in the Tau Empire's Kor'vattra. Unable to build an Ether Drive light enough to produce a normal escort at the time, the Earth Caste designed an ingenious system of mounting Gravitic Hooks on capital ships, such as the Gal'leath (Explorer)-class Starship, so that the Kass'l design could be transported within the capital ship's gravitic sheath. Once unleashed in battle, the Kass'l proved a powerful gunship able to contend with any Imperial or Ork vessel.
Every Kass'l-class Gunship is armed, as standard, with a prow Railgun battery, a prow Ion Cannon battery, a single defensive turret on its hull, and standard Tau starship gravitic shielding.

DEAR READERS: I started writing the Ask Amy column 10 years ago this month. In that time, Ive fielded countless letters from readers covering every imaginable personal situation and dilemma. Ive also tackled questions about issues Id never imagined.
I am marking this decade of advice by stepping away briefly for the first time in 10 years to catch my breath and read a few self-help books (I also plan to play minigolf and eat ice cream).
You'd almost think we don't believe in taking time off.
Until my return in two weeks, I hope youll enjoy some of my favorite Ask Amy questions and answers. Todays topic is marriage.
DEAR AMY: My husband and I have been together for 10 years now and have five beautiful kids, ages 6 months through 8 years old.
Can you give me some pointers on what to do with the little time and little privacy we have? Locking the door and looking into each others eyes doesnt work anymore.-- Heather
DEAR HEATHER: Are you asking me how to have sex with your husband? Seems to me you already know that, my dear.
I called my friend Betsy(mother of six!) and read your letter to her. She suggests that getting out of the house -- even for a short time -- is the charm.
Then she told me an anecdote involving her, her beloved husband and the family minivan that Id rather not repeat.(2004)
DEAR AMY: Ive been married for six years, and my hubby and I have two kids. Hubby and I both work full time, but Ive noticed that hubby seems to enjoy assigning me extra little tasks to fill up my free time (as if I have any). This started after he attended management training at his job. This really irritates me.
His last attempt at delegating was to ask me to mail our tax returns that I had prepared. My busy season is tax season, and I was very short on time. I was floored when he called me from the library where he was reading books after he had finished eating breakfast with his brother.
His schedule is such that he can do errands before work without kids. My schedule means that I have to drag our kids with me to do anything.
Ive tried to announce youre assigning tasks again, or else I flatly announce that I am not doing that particular task or errand. Any advice you can give on how to stop my master delegator hubby?-- Harried
DEAR HARRIED: Since this delegating started suddenly after your husbands management training course, youre going to have to retrain him.
Because youve already repeatedly expressed your irritation at this, now its time to laugh.
The next time your husband calls from his leisurely book reading and assigns a task to you, laughing maniacally into the phone might get through to him.Honey, you just crack me up! you say.
Add a little shot of passive aggression to drive your point home. Choose a less important errand that he assigns to you and simply dont do it. If he asks you why youve fallen down on the job, slip him a blank W-4 form.
If youre going to work for him, you might as well get benefits.(2004)
DEAR AMY: My husband,Steve, and I have been together 11 years (since high school).
Recently I found out he spent $500 at a massage parlor. He claims he was just curious and that they did not tell him in advance what went on there. He says the only thing he got was a completely nude lap dance, with no touching.
I find this hard to believe, especially considering the money involved. How should I handle this? I feel completely betrayed and sick. This is not the first time he has lied to me.-- Betrayed
DEAR BETRAYED: I hope your husband is as curious about what goes on at a marriage counselors office as he was about the massage parlor, because thats where he should be headed next. He wont get a lap dance, but you can assure him that counseling sessions would be plenty stimulating and revealing. Good luck.(2003)

1. Aw c'mon. tell us about the minivan
2. And if he does fill out the W-4, offer him performance reviews, with space allotted for (his) self criticism and places to improve.

Nude lap dance with no touching? Them who's lap was she dancing on?
Wife didn't say husband was abusive. Just that he was bugging the crap out of her. And I agree. If there's one thing my wife tries to do that bugs me, its trying to assign me things to do as if I'm not busy enough. When you see me sitting on my ass doing nothing and need help with what you're doing, ask for my help. Otherwise, assume whatever I'm doing is just as important to me as whatever it is you think i should be doing. I could not tell you the last time I asked my wife to do something that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. In the other direction, it is a regular occurence
Since: Jan 10

L3: Husband lied about what service he got.
L2: I was joking about the abuse. I just felt like her inability to tell him, "I'm busy, do it yourself" was silly.

1- Sex in a minivan. How romantic. Hope at least it was during tailgating at a Judas Priest concert. Or maybe the infield during a race.
2- Sorry you can't be interrupted while you're shoving bon-bons into your yap while watching soaps, but the least you could do is lift a hefty finger and help out a little.
3- Right, he had no idea what goes on at a massage parlor. And if he REALLY paid five hundred dollars for a no touch lap-dance, he got hosed. Wake up, doll. Your husband banged a hooker.
#12 Jul 8, 2013
LW1: I agree that there's nothing like a change of scenery once in a while.
LW2: I'm with Red. How about a simple, "Can you stop doing that?"
LW3: I don't know which I'd be more upset about, the five hundred dollars (!), the fact that he admits to getting a completely nude lap dance, or the fact that he expected me to believe that completely nude lap dances with no touching cost $500. Probably the latter. He must think that you are incredibly stupid.

While in the Osa Peninsula, one simply must do a guided tour in Corcovado National Park, the last great original tract of tropical rainforest in Pacific Central America.

I arrived 1 hr earlier and we started boarding the bus at 12.45 after the bags had been loaded on. I asked the driver to drop me off at my new hostel, following the advice of the receptionist in San Jose. The journey was only 4 hrs with a brief toilet/ snack stop.
Once in Manuel Antonio I found out that the Park will ...

The best season of Japanese distance running is about to kick off. The men's university ekiden season officially gets underway Monday, Oct. 8 with the first of the Big Three University Ekidens, the short and sweet Izumo Ekiden. Oct. 20 sees the world's deepest 20 km road race, the Hakone Ekiden Yosenkai qualifier in Tokyo's Showa Kinen Park, where Kanto Region schools that didn't make the seeded cut at the last Hakone Ekiden try to pick up one of the nine remaining spots and individuals from smaller schools try to get in on the ten-man Select Team. The seeded schools from Kanto and the best from the rest of the country square off at the National University Men's Ekiden Championships on Nov. 4. Two weeks later the Ageo City Half Marathon, where teammates from the schools entered in Hakone square off against each other to try to make their coaches' A-roster for the main event. Then, come Jan. 2-3, it is time for the big race, Japan's largest sporting event, with a two-day, 15-hour+ live broadcast and a TV audience in the tens of millions, the Hakone Ekiden. It may be little-known at best outside Japan, but there is virtually nothing else in the sport to match the scale, popularity and sheer excitement of Hakone.

But it all gets going in Izumo. At six stages and an average stage length of 7.4 km the Izumo Ekiden is an anomaly on the Japanese road scene, a short race with an emphasis on speed rather than stamina over the half marathon distance seen later in the season. Ranking the entry lists by average 5000 m and 10000 m bests of each team's best six men, three Japanese schools emerge as favorites. Last year's runner-up Komazawa University has the best credentials over both distances, with an average 5000 m best of 13:46.84 and a very impressive 10000 m average of 28:14.20. Komazawa only lost last year due to a rocky collegiate debut from star first-year Kenta Murayama. On paper they should be the hands-down favorite, but with the exception of last year's anchor stage winner Shinobu Kubota, who has taken his 10000 m best down from 28:23.61 to 28:07.01, few of Komazawa's best men have run well this year and the likelihood of another breakdown seems high.
2010 winner and course record holder Waseda University is next over both 5 and 10, with averages of 13:51.86 and 28:37.95 and leadership from junior Suguru Osako, the top Japanese man on the lead-off stage last year and holder of PBs of 13:31.27 and 27:56.94. Second-year Shuhei Yamamoto has also improved dramatically this year to best marks of 13:42.17 and 28:14.49, but beyond this lead pair Waseda's numbers fall off rapidly with many of its good runners struggling with protracted setbacks.

Defending champion Toyo University, on the other hand, comes in hot. After a scintillating course record win at this year's Hakone Ekiden Toyo lost star Ryuji Kashiwabara and several other key seniors to graduation, but in their place twins Keita and Yuta Shitara have dramatically stepped up to assume dual ace status, holding bests of 13:44:31/28:15.90 and 13:51.16/28:12.82. Both Yuta and team captain Takanori Ichikawa won their stages last year, and at a time trial last weekend Ichikawa led half of Toyo's Izumo team to 5000 m bests, suggesting that they are ready for a repeat of last year's aggressive win. The only cause for concern: both Shitara brothers were relatively flat in the time trial, with neither cracking fourteen minutes.
But, there is more.
The Izumo Ekiden has long hosted a team of American Ivy League alumni as part of its field. The team has never really been part of the competitive end of the event, but last year when head coach Jack Fultz opened the team up to runners from other American schools the "Ivy League" team delivered its best-ever performance, making the eight-deep podium with a surprise 8th-place finish. This year, with only two entry list members hailing from Ivy League schools but standouts including Stanford's Elliott Heath and Brendan Gregg and UCSB's Julian de Rubira, the "Ivy League" team looks to have a shot at a top three finish. On average 5000 m PB the team is ranked #1 just a breath ahead of Komazawa, while it is #4 over 10000 m close behind defending champ Toyo. If the Americans handle the travel well and run even passably they should be a lock for top five. A good performance and they will be right there with Komazawa, Waseda and Toyo. For a Japanese TV audience accustomed to seeing Kenyan ringers hammering their best it would be an unexpected thrill to have the "Ivies" right up in the game. They'd never see it coming.
The Izumo Ekiden will be broadcast live on Fuji TV beginning at 1:00 p.m. Japan time. Kashiwabara, now running for Izumo sponsor Fujitsu's ekiden team, will be a guest announcer on the TV broadcast. Follow @JRNLive and @JRNHeadlines for detailed live coverage throughout the race. Overseas viewers should also be able to watch live online via the sometimes-reliable Keyhole TV.

Human Being
William Shakespeare — 'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.'
Human Being
Keeping the dead awake,
Catastrophe is back home,
And there is nothing to take.
Chants from the hell above,
Departured and empty,
And peace was a dove.
Laws of murder,
Jury of money,
And they all surrender.
In a grave it's an extended death,
For an extinct species,
Destructed along its own mess.
He killed his brother,
Ends justify their means,
And others are just others.
Bombs declaring wars,
Starvation declaring need,
And a string out of beads.
Breathing, they are dead inside,
Bringing catastrophe alive,
With an empty hell,
Earth a better host, was.
Disguised devils,
killed virtues.
And a string out of beads.
Hey, hope you enjoyed reading it,

Obama's Shrewd Choices
Posted on Nov 26, 2008
By Joe Conason
While Barack Obama introduced the first members of his economic team, a wailing noise could be heard somewhere in the background. That was the sound of complaining liberals, who worry that the president-elect is already surrendering the progressive moment to centrists—the kind of post-election disappointment with which they are all too familiar.
Looking over the names of the new Obama appointees to important positions in the Treasury and the White House, critics on the left have dismissed them as "Clintonite retreads" or worse. According to this gloomy analysis, the incoming administration is poised to repeat the mistakes of the past rather than create new policy for the future, by staffing itself with economists wedded to old ideologies of deregulation and budget-balancing, rather than government intervention and public investment.
If resumes represented destiny, then there would certainly be cause for concern.
After all, most of Mr. Obama's top advisers—notably including Tim Geithner, the new Treasury secretary, and Larry Summers, the new director of the National Economic Council—either served in the Clinton administration or have some other connection to Robert Rubin, the man responsible for "Rubinomics" when he oversaw the Treasury during those years. The combination of fiscal discipline and deregulation that bear his name, once lauded as the foundation of an unprecedented boom, seem not only irrelevant but wrongheaded. His reputation has been badly damaged, meanwhile, by the fall of Citigroup, where he oversaw a ruinous and seemingly reckless investment strategy.
Long gone are the days when a smiling Rubin appeared on the covers of the newsmagazines alongside Alan Greenspan, whose record as Federal Reserve chairman and avatar of laissez-faire economics is equally discredited. By now it would be natural for Summers—who succeeded Rubin at Treasury—to wish that everyone would forget his was the third face on those same magazine covers.
Square, Site wide
Indeed, Obama has steadfastly refused to scale back his platform of spending initiatives, from infrastructure to health care, despite all the tut-tutting commentary. Instead, even as he rolled out his team, he pledged a very substantial spending increase during the first two years of his term as the only means to prevent the recession from plunging into something far worse.
And his appointees will implement the Obama program, not only because that is what he tells them to do but because that is what they have come to believe is best for the country. Whatever Summers or Geithner or any of the other centrists on the new team may once have said or thought, they will pursue a course of massive counter-cyclical spending, public investment and strong new regulation.
Several of the significant figures chosen by Obama, such as budget chief Peter Orszag and adviser Jason Furman, have defended liberal priorities throughout their careers. The economists who have influenced them include not just Rubin but also Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel-winning progressive.
But even Rubin—who once came to symbolize the Democratic Party's submission to market fundamentalism—has endorsed a new progressive direction. The Washington think tank associated with him, known as the Hamilton Project, promotes public investment and a refurbished social safety net.
As for Summers, just last month he published an essay in the Financial Times that seemed to acknowledge past errors, writing that the "wealth and income gains from the easy availability of credit were highly concentrated in the hands of a fortunate few."
Sounding liberal themes, he went on to call for a strict new regulatory regime and measures to ensure that the nation's future prosperity will be broad-based and inclusive. He and the rest of the Obama team possess the managerial competence to implement those policies, which is why the president-elect appointed them. He knows that the proof will be in the pudding and not the cooks.

Conason continues the tap dance.
The entire argument here is insane.
Gates is a Competent Secretary of Defense! A non-partisan realist! Not at all a complete sycophant whose career has been based on telling his superiors what they want to hear!
Obama is actually a lefty, cleverly packing his cabinet with right-wing Democrats whose primary qualifications are their blind adherence to absurd economic doctrines that have just been shown (again!) to be wholly fallacious!
They've learned from their errors!
Honest! You can trust them!
And anyway they don't need you filthy proles anymore! They've grabbed the sceptre, so Shut up and go back to watching American Gladiators!
Let these cool, Pragmatic, EXPERIENCED Washington Realists (lobbyists, businessmen) do what they do best!
Just like LBJ and Kennedy! Pragmatic realists, who knew you had to compromise a principle now and then to get Things done!
I think we need a Surge in Afghanistan!

I'm going to quote this verbatim - couldn't a said it better myself ...
"The way it's supposed to work, Obama as Prez tells his "crew" what to do and they do it. He provides the "what" that needs doing and the crew provides the "how" that "what" gets done. Experience in knowing how to effect change is wonderful because it expedites getting things done. After eight years of a helmsman who ran our ship of state, ie, America, like a blind drunken pirate, it's going to take a little time to fix things. Obama's "whats" are what count and as long as they're nothing like Bush's "whats" America's gonna be okay. Given the right marching orders, experienced worker bees do better than novices."
And I would add just one thought - that if you were going to try to radically change a particular arena - be it environmental, economic, etc. - wouldn't you want to hire the very most accomplished folks to implement your vision? There are at least a million possible ways to stumble when doing something this complicated, but the team he's chosen is already aware of 999,997 of them - since they were the ones who "stepped in it big time." Give this a chance to work before we pile on, but keep the pressure on Obama to keep turning Left.
By WR Curley, November 29, 2008 at 7:34 am Link to this comment
It becomes increasingly clear that - like Bush before him - Obama did not choose. He was chosen.

Dear Joe, looks like you have joined the "Club of the Centrist". Sad, you once were a bright star on the journalist sky.But it seems to be in style to convert: Liberals to Centrist and Centrist to "obedient" Liberals.Obamas speech at AIPAC should have been a warning of things to come as was his and Hilarys meeting on that famous Thursday with the Bilderberg Group.Oh well, we will watch the drama unfold.At least we have a good looking, eloquent Star who should get an Oscar if he can keep this country afloat.So much for the Messiah Image, just a brilliant " Politician".
By John Murphy, November 28, 2008 at 1:41 pm Link to this comment
The article is perhaps one of the best examples of political cognitive dissonance I've seen in a while. Joe Conason must of course admit that Obama has drafted the most right wing cabinet imaginable for a Democrat. Unable to deal with this reality, because it is so monstrous and conflicts with his preconceived ideas of Barack Obama, Conason has convinced himself that this is just an example of Obama making "shrewd choices" and that Obama takes the "long view"; that he knows how to make a reasonable case for radical change. (When has Obama ever championed "radical change"? If he ever championed "radical change" he would never have been the hand-picked choice of Boss Richard Daley.)
I spent 20 years as a management consultant. When executives fail as miserably as Obama's choices, they don't get promoted; they get fired. By failure I mean, in this case, the failure to embody progressive values. If you want to put a management team together that will achieve the objectives required by the organization, in this case the nation, you choose people with a track record of success and you choose people who have demonstrated shared values. If you want to get out of Iraq you don't put Paul Wolfowitz on your team. If you want to break the back of corporatism, you don't hire a bunch of neoliberal thugs like Summers, you hire people like Ralph Nader.
Sure, staff members are supposed to carry out the policies of the chief executive but the chief executive would be cutting his own throat by engaging a staff whose track record is completely opposed to the achievement of those policies.
Obama's choice of advisers is much more representative of the way he plans to govern than anything he has ever promised in any speech he has ever made. Obama is a creature of the corporate money which paid for his election. It is the Corporation which Obama sees as his constituency, certainly not the people of the United States of America. The only way Democrats like Joe Conason have of dealing with this cognitive dissonance is rationalizing it as "shrewd choices".
Joe Conason should understand that the relief he seeks from his cognitive dissonance however is simultaneously a major impediment to real progressive change. Of course it is a lot easier to cling to some preconceived notion by shutting your eyes to new evidence, or explaining it away with ad hoc hypotheses like "Obama makes shrewd choices".
But when preconceived notions are held with such mental strength that it is automatically assumed that the evidence supporting them also carries great weight; once confronted with evidence contradicting the preconceived notion of Obama, one must then assume, like Joe Conason, that either the new evidence has much less weight than the old, or that the ad hoc hypotheses dreamed up to bridge the evidential gap are themselves supported by weighty evidence. The ad hoc hypotheses themselves become part of the "truth", making the whole mental structure even more difficult to dislodge and will result in a hard-core, right wing Obama administration that will be rationalized away just as the Clinton administration has been by Conason-style Democrats.

Thanks Joe. But I want to hear the reasons from the guy that promised everyone change. We're waiting Mr. President-elect.
By john doraemi, November 27, 2008 at 3:55 pm Link to this comment
They changed! They're stand up guys now. Really they have. Statesmen. Heroes. Gods among men.
The basic premise is if they're Democrats, just forget all the wrongdoing and massive looting (in the trillions). Forget everything. Why not just turn off your brains altogether? How convenient that would be.

The Poised Warrior's Valentine Gift
What to give Mary for Valentine's Day tomorrow? She already has everything she wants, so "Don't get me anything," she always tells me. But I can't skip this assignment because—I know from the 17 Valentine gifts I've received from her in our marriage so far—I will receive tomorrow a beautifully designed card with an intimate hand written note that says how special and loved I am, how lucky she is to have me, or how she hopes we will travel the universe together for infinity. There might also be a gift, something I am addicted to and normally banned from the house like chocolates or maybe something else that will be imaginative, thoughtful, and loving, a gift that only someone who knows you intimately and who wants to give you delight would find for you. In other words, Mary's Valentine gift will be impeccable.
Looking for Gift Ideas
As usual, I don't have a card or a gift with only a day to go. Looking for inspiration, I reread Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous essay "On Gifts." His suggestions:
v Flowers, "…because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world."
v Fruit, because "they are the flower of commodities."
v What someone needs or wants: Even if "it be a fantastic desire, it is better to leave to others the office of punishing him"—so just give it.
v Something closely associated with the person in thought. (Mary's love is music, but she already has five guitars, an electric piano, a fiddle, amps, recorders, and—oh—a ukulele.)
Then Emerson riffs on how most gifts, like rings and other jewels, are not gifts but "apologies for gifts." We feel diminished by most gifts we receive, he suggests, intuitively knowing that they inadequately represent our true value.
We can't quite forgive the giver, he says, unless the gift comes from love.
I Have It!
Emerson says, finally, "The only gift is a portion of thyself."
What is the most dramatic, generous, surprising and delightful gift of myself I can give for Valentine's Day? What gift would we all welcome from our lover? What portion of thyself (can I change that to myself?)—what portion of myself can I give to Mary tomorrow?
Imagine my Valentine card, with a beautiful design on the front page.
We turn to the inside of the card to find this:
My Valentine gift to you this year: Tell me what you want me to change about myself and I will change. Today. Now. Permanently. Your choice.
To give you some ideas, here are some desired changes you have noted in the past, some of them many times. Would you like me to
v Embrace our dog, Jack, as my dog, quit telling the boring story about how you picked him out and brought him home from the Jack Russell rescue place over my objections, breaking your promise that we would only get a dog we both liked, stop talking about how three other families had already kicked him out and repeating over and over to friends the unfunny cliché that "three strikes and any dog is out," quit mentioning to our visiting friends that we are all awash in dog hair in our house, start giving him affection, and treat him like the loving baby he is. Or
v Quit telling stories about your back-seat driving to friends over dinner when I think the conversation will be enhanced by making fun of you. And quit making other jokes in social situations about how older married people have merged, even looking alike, and how your hair is now as short as mine, proving that older women become more and more yang with their hapless aging husbands. Or, how about
v Stop acting like flatulence is the funniest human act, grow up, and start using the discretion that I would accept in the living room at Downton Abbey.
Or, maybe the change you want me to make is even deeper and more difficult.
I'm poised for change. I'm ready. Name it here:
Your loving husband who loves to see you happy, Gary

Ten infants born at 23 or 24 weeks gestation have been followed by the Mayo Clinic since their births in 1991 or 1992. These infants needed aggressive intensive care at birth, including caesarian section, CPR, and/or high-frequency ventilation. Nine of the ten survived. At age four, one child has no handicaps, six have mild handicaps (including borderline IQ scores, poor vision, clumsiness, and unclear speech), and two have severe handicaps (including mental retardation and cerebral palsy).The study was presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in New Orleans, May 1-5.
