Growing Older in America: The Health and Retirement Study
Appendix A
Every wave of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) contains a set of experimental modules that are administered to a random subsample of respondents. The intent of the modules is to allow HRS investigators, as well as other researchers on aging, to suggest questions that test out new and untried content, have a methodological purpose, or that, in combination with the rest of the HRS data, would permit new research questions to be investigated. For a more detailed inventory of these modules and their use by researchers, visit the HRS website at: http://hrsonline.isr.umich.edu/meta/sho_meta.php?hfyle=modules.
HRS 2002 (Wave 6) Modules
Self-assessed health utilities; willingness to pay for disease prevention; restless leg syndrome, night leg cramps, and neck and shoulder pain; risk aversion; Internet use; loneliness, stress, and social support/social burden; ELSA health questions; numeracy; positive well-being; later life education; subjective uncertainty about stock market returns.
HRS 2000 (Wave 5) Modules
Medicare knowledge; alternative medicine; planning and expectations for retirement; social and economic altruism; benevolence and obligation; health plan booklet; health utilities index; risk tolerance; alcohol consumption and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) measures; proxy validation; social altruism; valuing health.
HRS 1998 (Wave 4) Modules
There were limited modules in HRS 1998, due to the addition of two new cohorts and the merger of the original HRS and AHEAD cohorts. The 1998 modules were targeted primarily toward AHEAD sample members who were asked activity of daily living (ADL) and cognition questions corresponding to similar modules in previous waves.
HRS 1996 (Wave 3) Modules
Consumption and anchoring; health during childhood; health pedigree; personality inventory; Medicare attitudes and preferences; volunteerism and time use; preference parameters for consumption, saving, and labor supply; advance directives; attitudes toward inter-familial transfers; retirement planning; saving for retirement.
AHEAD 1995 (Wave 2) Modules
Unfolding brackets with different entry points; Wave 1 ADL questions; Longitudinal Study of Aging 2 (LSOA2) ADL questions; security and safety; sleep; living wills; in-depth ADLs.
HRS 1994 (Wave 2) Modules
CES-D depression scale; crystallized intelligence; functional health; long-run income elasticity of labor supply; risk aversion; social support; parent-child transfers; ADLs; activities and time allocation; nutrition.
AHEAD 1993 (Wave 1) Modules
Resilience; time use; alternative ADLs; WAIS Similarities; quality of life; in-depth ADLs; financial pressure.
HRS 1992 (Wave 1) Modules
Physiological health measures; ADL measures from NLTCS and NHIS; meta-memory; process benefits; employment alternatives; parental wealth; occupational injuries; health risks; substitution elasticity of consumption.
HRS 2002 (Wave 6) Modules
- Module 1: Self-assessed health utilities. Asks for a self-rating of health between 0 (death) and 100 (perfect health for your age/a 20-year-old), and then uses bracket-like techniques to assess willingness to trade years of life for perfect health, based on comparing two fictional persons with health similar to the respondent.
- Module 2: Willingness to pay for disease prevention. Assesses willingness to pay (dollars) for prevention of cancer or Alzheimer's disease.
- Module 3: Restless leg syndrome, night leg cramps, and neck and shoulder pain. Measures symptoms of restless leg syndrome (associated with sleep problems and health consequences of sleep problems), night leg cramps, and neck and shoulder pain.
- Module 4: Risk aversion. Repeats previous module questions about large risk aversion to be paired with questions about small risk aversion asked in the main survey.
- Module 5: Internet use. Asks about computer and Internet access and use at work and at home.
- Module 6: Loneliness, stress, and social support/social burden. Assesses negative well-being in three of its dimensions. This module has twice the sample size of other modules, and hence also takes the place of Module 7. It is part of an analytic project under an NIA-funded program at the University of Chicago, developed in consultation with the HRS.
- Module 8: ELSA health questions. Provides a cross-reference between health items asked in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the HRS.
- Module 9: Numeracy. Tests additional numeracy items and uses a six-way design to test for context effects across four types of mathematical skills. Each math item is couched in three contexts-health, economic/market, and context-free-and respondents are assigned to pre-designated combinations so that they receive each math problem only once. It also overlaps with an ELSA proposal to develop numeracy measures for large surveys.
- Module 10: Positive well-being. Builds on the work of Powell Lawton and others to assess the extent of positive feelings about life and health.
- Module 11: Later life education. Asks about educational activities in later life.
- Module 12: Subjective uncertainty about stock market returns. Assesses the respondent's full distribution of expectations of one-year stock market returns by asking for probabilities that the return would be above or below specified levels.
HRS 2000 (Wave 5) Modules
- Module 1: Medicare knowledge. Asks questions and presents hypothetical situations to ascertain respondents' knowledge about health maintenance organization (HMO) and non-HMO Medicare and about sources of their information about Medicare.
- Module 2: Alternative medicine. Covers recent and past use of herbal or other dietary supplements and medications, treatments by chiropractors, massage therapists, or acupuncturists, and spiritual practices that may be related to health.
- Module 3: Planning and expectations for retirement. Asks about activities undertaken by respondents to plan for retirement; the questions are slightly different for those who are already fully retired than for those still anticipating full retirement. A subset of questions is designed to get at the propensity to plan ahead.
- Module 4: Economic altruism. Ascertains willingness to give regular financial assistance to relatives and friends at varying levels of need, as well as to charities.
- Module 5: Benevolence and obligation. Asks about the respondent's self-perception as a giver to others, and his or her reasons for giving, especially as they relate to family members.
- Module 6: Request for health plan booklet. Requests the respondent's health plan booklet to help assess the possibility of using this method to obtain details of health insurance coverage.
- Module 7: Health utilities index. Implements the Mark III version of the Health Utilities Index to assess problems with vision, hearing, mobility, hand and arm use, mental functioning, general discomfort, and outlook on life. Domain scores and overall utility preference scores can be computed. Index to assess problems with vision, hearing, mobility, hand and arm use, mental functioning, general discomfort, and outlook on life. Domain scores and overall utility preference scores can be computed.
- Module 8: Tolerance for large and small risks. Addresses the respondent's willingness to take financial risks by posing a set of hypothetical situations and asks what he or she would do in those situations.
- Module 9: Alcohol consumption and HRS 1992 IADL measures. A very short module with a few questions about difficulties of everyday activities and alcohol consumption.
- Module 10: Proxy validation. Repeats selected questions asked in the general survey about health and daily activities, but asks the respondent to answer these questions about his or her spouse/partner. The intention is to look at the agreement between respondent and spouse reports of health problems.
- Module 11: Social altruism. Asks about connectedness to other people and the emotional support available from the respondent's spouse/partner, adult children, parents and parents-in-law, and friends.
- Module 12: Valuing health. Asks respondents to compare their present state of health to perfect health using a standard time-tradeoff question valuing health in terms of years of life, and a similar willingness-to-pay question valuing health in terms of money.
HRS 1998 (Wave 4) Modules
- Module 1: AHEAD 1993 ADL questions. Contains questions about difficulty and the use of equipment and help in activities of daily living. Most respondents who were asked to do this module in 1998 were asked to do the same module in AHEAD 1995.
- Module 3: ADL measures used for the Longitudinal Studies of Aging. Contains the ADL questions used in AHEAD 1993 and AHEAD 1995, which were in turn based on those proposed for (and subsequently used in) the second LSOA. Most respondents who were asked to do this module in 1998 were asked to do the same module in both AHEAD 1993 and AHEAD 1995.
- Module 4: ADL measures used for the National Long-Term Care Study (NLTCS). Most respondents who were asked to do this module in 1998 were asked to do the same module in AHEAD 1993.
- Module 5: 1990 Census ADL questions. Slightly less than half of the respondents who were asked to do this module in 1998 were asked to do the same module in AHEAD 1993.
- Module 10: Cognitive section for proxy interviewed sample members. Also included in the module section, although not actually a module, is a section of the interview that is administered to sample persons for whom proxy interviews were done, but who are willing and able to do this section themselves.
HRS 1996 (Wave 3) Modules
- Module All: Consumption and anchoring. Contains questions on food consumption, as well as questions designed to assess the degree to which the responses to unfolding brackets are affected by the level of the entry point (i.e., the "anchoring effect"). To yield adequate sample sizes, these questions were asked of all respondents.
- Module 1: Health during childhood. Contains questions on the individual's health when growing up (from birth to age 16), on parental family composition, and on the parental family's economic status.
- Module 2: Health pedigree. Asks about the individual's health pedigree-whether the individual's parents are still living, the cause of death if deceased, health status if living, and cause and age of death of any deceased siblings.
- Module 3: Personality. Provides a brief personality inventory based on the respondent's rating of how closely each of 12 descriptive words fits the respondent.
- Module 4: Medicare attitudes and preferences. Attempts to measure respondents' attitudes and preferences toward Medicare. Includes questions on whether the respondent would prefer various cash equivalent dollar payments to Medicare insurance, and is thus a form of contingent valuation.
- Module 5: Volunteerism and time use. Asks how many hours the respondent spent in the past year on 10 types of volunteer activities ranging from helping religious organizations to helping neighbors. Hours spent in 11 time-use activities ranging from television watching to reading are also obtained.
- Module 6: Preference parameters for consumption, saving, and labor supply. Attempts to understand the respondents' preferences toward consumption, saving, and labor supply by asking about their behavior if they won a hypothetical sweepstakes that would pay an amount equal to their current family income for life.
- Module 7: Advance directives. Contains questions on advance directives and respondent preferences toward a hypothetical cancer treatment under a variety of costs and treatment success-rate assumptions.
- Module 8: Attitudes toward inter-familial transfers. Examines respondents' willingness to give financial help to parents and/or siblings under a variety of hypothetical situations. These data, in conjunction with those from HRS 1994 Module 7, are designed to develop a better understanding of altruism.
- Module 9: Retirement planning. Asks about retirement planning and saving for retirement, and contains a question intended to measure the extent to which the respondent understands compound interest. It asks about the extent to which the respondent relies or plans to rely on Social Security, employer-provided pension plans, individual retirement accounts, 401(k) or Keogh plans, and private savings. Also asks retirees questions about the adequacy of their savings.
- Module 10: Saving for retirement. Contains questions on the current level of savings for retirement and on the reliance or expected reliance on public, private, and personal sources of income in retirement.
AHEAD 1995 (Wave 2) Modules
Each of the AHEAD 1995 modules includes questions designed to assess the importance of anchoring effects in unfolding questions about dollar amounts. In each case, respondents were asked about the amount of money they had in savings accounts and total household consumption in the past month.
- Modules 1 and 2: AHEAD 1993 ADL questions. Questions about difficulty and the use of equipment and help in activities of daily living that were asked in AHEAD 1993 were modified in 1995. To assist analysts who wish to take account of these wording changes when examining changes in responses across waves, a random subsample (double the size of the other modules) was asked the 1993 version of the ADL questions (in addition to the revised ADL questions that were asked in the main interview).
- Module 3: LSOA2 ADL questions. Asks the same questions as Module 3 in AHEAD 1993, and were asked of the same respondents in both waves.
- Module 4: Security and safety. Poses questions about the subjective probability of being the victim of a crime, and steps taken out of concern about crime.
- Module 5: Sleep. Includes questions about trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night, problems of falling asleep during the day, and the use of medications to aid sleep. It also includes two questions about the sense of personal control.
- Module 6: Living wills. Inquires about end-of-life directives, and whether or not the respondent has named anyone to make health care decisions for them if they are unable to do so themselves. Respondents were also presented with two scenarios about someone with a life-threatening illness who is presented with the choice of taking an experimental treatment with randomly varied cost and probability of success.
- Module 7: In-depth ADLs. Asks the same questions as Module 7 in AHEAD 1993, of the same respondents in both waves.
HRS 1994 (Wave 2) Modules
- Module 1: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale. Assesses the degree to which the HRS 1994 scale loses information compared with the original HRS 1992 scale. The version of the CES-D Depression Scale included in the HRS 1994 instrument is a substantially truncated version of the scale used in 1992.
- Module 2: Crystallized intelligence. It was decided to eliminate the similarities test (a test of crystallized intelligence) in the main survey, on the grounds that crystallized IQ is not expected to change with any rapidity in the HRS age range and is expected to change more slowly than memory. The similarities test in this module is the same test contained in the HRS 1992.
- Module 3: Functional health. A methodological test of the HRS 1994 functional health scale compared with the HRS 1992 scale. The HRS 1992 scale was a four-point scale associated with level of difficulty in performing various activities. Telephone interview considerations in HRS 1994 led to the development and use of a two-point scale to be followed by a second two-point scale in the event of a "some difficulty" response. This module uses the original four-point scale designed for a personal interview environment.
- Module 4: Long-run income elasticity of labor supply. Sets up a hypothetical set of circumstances to yield pure estimates of income elasticity. The hypothetical illustration concerns the effect of a windfall gain on labor hours, along with measures that will generate an assessment of the strength of an altruism parameter.
- Module 5: Risk aversion. HRS 1992 contained a measure of risk aversion based on responses to a hypothetical situation involving alternate jobs and respondents' willingness to take jobs with various risky characteristics. This module is an attempt to refine the risk aversion measure by observing the distribution of risk aversion at the extremes of the distribution, where the 1992 data suggest most of the sample actually resides.
- Module 6: Social support. Asks questions about respondents' sources of social support, including spouses, friends, and co-workers.
- Module 7: Transfers. Examines motivations for transfers from parents to children. It is intended to aid in the analysis of preference parameters, specifically altruism.
- Module 8: Activities of daily living. Gathers baseline data on the incidence of ADL deficiencies in the sample, and to find out who the ADL helpers are. Part of the module asks about future needs for ADL help, as well as whether or not respondents perceive themselves to be at risk of helping someone else with ADLs.
- Module 9: Activities and time allocation. Seeks to assess the strength of some of the pull toward retirement that can be attributed to the desire to reallocate time to non-market time issues.
- Module 10: Nutrition. Asks respondents how often they eat foods from the various major food groups. The list of food types is fairly detailed, e.g., distinguishing red meats from other meat and from fish.
AHEAD 1993 (Wave 1) Modules
- Module 1: Resilience. Asks an innovative sequence of questions designed to measure the concept of resilience, defined as the individual's ability to recover quickly and completely from any misfortune or challenge.
- Module 2: Time use. Contains a set of questions on unpaid but economically productive activities: home maintenance, volunteer work, and informal help to others. Together with core-study questions on paid employment, these questions permit a balanced assessment of the productive contributions of older adults.
- Modules 3 and 4: Alternative ADLs. Contains the ADL questions proposed for (and subsequently used in) the second LSOA (Module 3) and replicates the ADL function items on the NLTCS screen (Module 4).
- Module 5: WAIS Similarities. Applies the WAIS Similarities, a widely used measure of abstract reasoning that was used in the main HRS 1992 interview; also includes two ADL questions that are asked on the 1990 U.S. Census long form.
- Module 6: Quality of life. Asks questions focusing on the essential quality of life issue-whether or not life is still worth living.
- Module 7: In-depth ADLs. Probes various detailed adaptive strategies for bathing to explore whether or not adaptive mechanisms account for a lack of reported difficulty with bathing despite obvious physical or cognitive impairments.
- Module 9: Financial pressure. Asks respondents if they find it difficult to pay their bills or if they cut back on nonmedical expenses, such as eating out or traveling. Also asks about the perceived fairness of policy alternatives for making long-term care in nursing homes more accessible to older people.
HRS 1992 (Wave 1) Modules
- Module A: Physiological measurements of health and functioning status. Measures vital capacity using Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and assesses grip strength to provide a means of validating self-reports.
- Modules B and C: ADL measures used in the National Long-Term Care Survey and in the National Health Interview Survey. Collects data to provide researchers with a cross-walk that would allow the HRS ADL measures to be recalibrated to better correspond to the ADL measures in these other studies.
- Module D: Meta-memory. Asks a battery of questions to assess meta-memory, along with the Census Bureau screen question used for the presence of ADL limitations.
- Module E: Process benefits. Uses a set of 10-point scales to ascertain respondents' intrinsic satisfaction from work, housework, and various types of leisure.
- Module F: Employment alternatives. Asks a series of questions on 10-point probability scales asking respondents about the likelihood that they can find jobs like their present jobs but with specified differences in characteristics, such as different amounts of pay, greater amounts of flexibility in hours per week, weeks per year, and hours per day.
- Module G: Parental wealth. Asks a set of questions about the asset holdings of respondents' parents, and then requests permission to talk to the parents.
- Module H: Occupational injuries. Inquires about various characteristics of work that relate to the likelihood of on-the-job injuries.
- Module J: Health risks. Asks a set of questions about the likelihood that respondents or spouses will need long-term care in a nursing home, longevity estimates relating to the spouse of the respondent, expectations about having medical care insurance at age 65 provided by an employer, and questions about the coverage of Medicare and the coverage that could be available from other types of insurance. Also asks about Medicaid coverage and respondents' perceptions about their eligibility for Medicaid.
- Module K: Substitution elasticity of consumption. A highly experimental measure of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption, a concept that plays a key role in economic models of life-cycle saving behavior.

Ski Resorts Try To Reduce Carbon Footprint
01/04/10 7:50AM Susan Sharon
| Download MP3
(Host) It's not easy for the ski industry to be environmentally friendly. Resorts need lots of electricity to move people up mountains and millions of gallons of water to make snow.
But as energy costs rise, some resorts are reducing their carbon footprints.
As part of a collaboration with Northeast public radio stations, Susan Sharon of Maine Public Radio reports.
(Sharon) There's nothing like the liberating feeling of gliding down a mountain. Skiers and snowboarders love the thrill, even if it means strapping on their skis at the bottom in the mud, getting on a windy chairlift and being confined to ski at the mountain's summit.
(Baum) "It's either that or stay at home."
(Sharon) David Baum of Wellesley, Massachusetts, was skiing with his family at the Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine, in late November. He wasn't dissuaded by the lack of snow.
"No way. There's snow up there."
(Sharon) Sunday River was one of just a few ski areas in the Northeast able to offer skiing that month. But for the first time in 20 years, just the top of the mountain was open. At the bottom it was raining.
Bill Brown was trying to look on the bright side. Brown is in charge of snowmaking and energy management on the mountain.
(Brown) "It's frustrating. Is it really stressful? After you've done it for 21 years you kind of go: We'll it's going to get cold at some point and we're going to go."
(Sharon) Brown was right. Since then Mother Nature has cooperated and blanketed Sunday River with snow. According to a recent report from the group Clean air-Cool Planet, the Northeast has seen warmer temperatures, fewer days with snow cover and decreased snowfall in recent decades. Ski resorts can make snow if it's cold enough. But it takes lots of water and plenty of energy to power snowmaking equipment and chairlifts to carry skiers up the mountain. All this comes with a price, both environmental and economic.
(Strickler) "Energy bills were just getting out of control. Once our electric bill hit over $1 million a year we said something has got to give."
(Sharon) Betsy Strickler is the marketing director at Jiminy Peak in Western Massachusetts. It's the first ski resort in North America to install an on-site wind turbine.
This is the sound of Jiminy's snow guns converting water into snow using energy from the 1.5 megawatt wind turbine. It cost Jiminy's owners about $3.5 million to make the investment. And Strickler says it's already paying off.
(Strickler) "It's about half of our snowmaking and it powers about a third of the chairlifts that we operate and then the central core of our hotel, including our restaurant. And it powers 100 percent of the Mountain Adventure Park in the summer, assuming the wind is blowing."
(Sharon) Bolton Valley in Vermont recently erected a smaller turbine. And around the northeast, large and small ski resorts are switching to more energy efficient snow-making equipment to save money.
At Sunday River electricity consumption has been cut 20 percent even as the mountain has expanded over the last 15 years. Bill Brown says conservation measures were adopted out of necessity.
(Brown) "I guess climate change is kind of always at the back of your mind, but it was economics."
(Sharon) Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Maine, has also installed variable speed drives on its water pumps to save water and switched from diesel to natural gas, cutting 30 % of its energy costs in just a couple of years. But whether greener skiing can be an effective marketing tool remains to be seen. Some skiers are still grappling for a definition.
(Strickler) "I would presume no snowmaking, no grooming and you hike the mountain yourself?"
Not yet you don't.
Back at Jiminy Peak Betsy Strickler says customers appreciate the mountain's green makeover once they learn about it. But the further skiers drive to get to their favorite ski slopes, the more pollution they're emitting to the environment. That's why some ski areas have been promoting carpooling or mass transit, and why Shawnee Peak in Bridgton offers prime parking spaces to skiers who arrive in hybrid vehicles.
For VPR News, I'm Susan Sharon

Good day all I am new to the site and this is my first post, hope it goes well... anyway I am looking for a bolt for a 540xr to be specific, I know that other bolt options exist and I am looking for any advice that someone may have on those as well.
The rifle was damaged in a fire and is at the gunsmith right now, he knows I have a collection of 540 so he asked me to help, since I believe this rifle is a part of "Americana" if you will, I told him I would make some posts and see what I could find. Apperently the rifle has a great deal of centimental value to his customer.
all help and/or sugestions are welcome If more information is needed please let me know and I will try to provide it.
I know a 580 or 581 bolt will fit and I am trying to find one for sale or even an old gun for sale can anyone help
Thanks Tom

playing a prominent role in the regulation of energy balance. One population synthesizes proopiomelanocortin
(POMC) and cocaine–amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), whereas the other produces
neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP). POMC and CART are catabolic (leading to
a reduction in energy stores)44–46, whereas NPYand AgRP are anabolic (leading to an increase in energy
stores).47–50 POMC/CART neurons exert their catabolic effect mainly via a-MSH, a peptidergic fragment
ensuing from POMC cleavage. Within the PVH, a-MSH binds to melanocortin 3 (MC3R) and 4 (MC4R)
receptors with which it constitutes, together with AgRP, the metabolic melanocortin system.44,46,51,52
AgRP acts as a natural antagonist of MC3R and MC4R, thereby reducing the effects of a-MSH. The
functional significance of the melanocortin receptors in energy homeostasis has been validated in Mc3r
and Mc4r knockout (KO) mice, which exhibit enhanced visceral or widespread fat depositions.52,53 In
humans, Mc4r deficiency seems to represent one of the most (if not the most) commonly known
monogenic forms of obesity.54 The MC4R is found in abundance in the PVH descending division, a part of
the PVH likely involved in the control of energy intake55 and energy expenditure.56,57 The PVH also
expresses Y158 and Y5 receptors59, the main receptors mediating the anabolic action of NPY.60 NPY
expression appears constitutively stimulated in obese61 and food-deprived animals.61,62 The functional
importance of NPY as well as that of AgRP in the regulation of energy balance have recently found
a genetic endorsement when mice genetically engineered for a selective deletion of AgRP–NPYexpressing
neuronswere shown to exhibit, at the adult stage, an acute reduction in feeding.47,50 Both the
NPYand/or POMC neurons harbor receptors for the peripheral hormones leptin, insulin, glucocorticoids,
ghrelin, peptide tyrosine–tyrosine and glucagon-like peptide 1, which are all known to be capable of
signaling the brain about changes in energy stores and the nutritional status.14,45
There is evidence to suggest an involvement of the ARC–PVH axis in the metabolic action of the
endocannabinoid system on energy balance. Both the PVH and the ARC neurons express the CB1
receptor protein and exhibit c-fos expression (a widely used marker of neuronal activation) in response
to CB1 agonism and antagonism.63–65 In addition, both structures represent sensible targets for the
apparently inhibitory effect of leptin on the hypothalamic production of endocannabinoids.16
Despite the fact that some published data tend to predict a role for the ARC–PVH axis in the
metabolic influence of the endocannabinoid19,64, there is still work to be accomplished before being
able to delineate the exact role of the ARC–PVH duet in the endocannabinoid effects on energy balance
regulation. Incidentally, neither the melanocortin66 nor the NPY16 system appears to be essential to the
effect of the endocannabinoids in energy balance regulation. In fact, the CB1 receptor agonist WIN
55,212-2 and the CB1 receptor antagonist AM251 have recently been shown to exert their respective
stimulating and inhibiting effect in the agouti yellow (Ay) mouse, which lacks a functional melanocortin
system due to the aberrant constitutive over-expression of the Agouti protein (an endogenous
inverse agonist of the MC3R and MC4R).66 Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the pharmacological
CB1 blockade is as efficacious to reduce food intake in NPY knockout mice as in wild type
animals.16 Furthermore, there is as yet no clear evidence that endocannabinoids create a positive
energy balance by stimulating the ARC orexigenic NPY/AgRP neurons or by inhibiting the ARC POMC/
CART neurons. Indeed, none of these neurons expresses the CB1 receptor mRNA19, which implies that
the CB1 receptor probably cannot modulate the secretion of the main ARC orexigenic and anorexigenic
neurons at the level of their terminals. There is also no evidence that the CB1 receptor agonism or CB1
receptor modulates ARC expression of either POMC, CART, NPY or AgRP in a way to explain the
orexigenic/non-thermogenic action of endocannabinoids. Subchronic treatment with rimonabant
(a CB1 receptor antagonist) has been reported to increase the expression of NPY, which is counterintuitive
when one considers the catabolic action of rimonabant.24 The only reported indication that
endocannabinoids can affect the activity of the NPY neurons is that demonstrating an increased release
of NPY in hypothalamic explants stimulated by endocannabinoid agonists.67 That NPY neurons can be
modulated by endocannabinoids is certainly not inconsistent with the presence of the CB1 receptor in
neuron terminals forming both symmetric (inhibitory) and asymmetric (excitatory) synapses in the
ARC.30 However, studies need to be conducted to better delineate the function of the hypothalamic CB1
receptor protein, whose amount in the ARC is apparently low compared to the quantity of the receptor
seen in the cortex and hippocampus.30
While the role of the ARC in the endocannabinoid effects on energy balance appears indeterminate,
that of the PVH seems more certain. Intra-PVH injection of D9-THC produced a significant increase in

EL RENO, Okla. – Obama for America State Director Miguel Medrano will be the guest speaker at the Canadian County Democrats' monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Seating is available for Democrats and friends on a first come, first served basis for the free meeting at Canadian Valley Technology Center, located at 6506 E. Highway 66 between Yukon and El Reno.
Medrano returned recently from national campaign training, which focused on grassroots strategies, such as registering voters and involving young people in the political process.
"The Obama campaign considers Oklahoma important in the success of the 270 Plan, which refers to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, " Medrano said.
"I'm going to urge everyone at the Canadian County Democrats' meeting to separate facts from misinformation and then advocate with passion and courage for the re-election of President Obama."
Medrano will also discuss training opportunities for those "who want to make their voices heard."
The Canadian County Democrats meet at 7 p.m. on the second Tues. of each month (except Dec.) at Canadian Valley Technology Center. For more information, call 354-3189 or visit http://www.canadiancodems.org/.

It's been a long time coming for a band that doesn't lie down and die for the Man. You know who the Man is, and that band is Wilco. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was recorded more than a year ago and in that time the band was dropped by Warner Brothers (the record wasn't "radio-friendly"), and lost longtime drummer Ken Coomer and Jeff Tweedy's right-hand man, keyboardist/guitarist Jay Bennett. A year later, Wilco signed with Nonesuch Records, the band was transformed, and a piece of musical poetry was finally released to a very impatient, growing group of devout fans.
Wilco has continually transcended itself since their advent and first two country-fused albums, AM and Being There. They dug into a treasure of lost Woody Guthrie songs with Billy Bragg, wrote music to Guthrie's words, and released probably two of the most unique volumes of American music of their kind, the Mermaid Avenue sessions. Then there was Summerteeth and a transformation for the band: a brave journey into pop, Pet Sounds style. A handful of fans lost their shit and the rest stayed on in anticipation for the next invention, which is what every song on YHF is: an invention, a new sound vehicle for poetry. Wilco blends random sounds from the innards of machines with simple rock and roll so perfectly that it comes out sounding like acoustic guitar and distorted radio waves were meant to be together.
The album isn't always easy to listen to. Tweedy, the songwriter, holds nothing back; he cries for you, screams for you, explores his heavy heart, but, as always, expresses himself in light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek, bitter irony. He puts words together like pieces of a collage, then presents them musically unlike any band does today. The first track, "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," sounds like a symphony stuffed through a carnival machine, decomposed and broken down to its essentials, then painted with lines like "I am an American aquarium drinker, I assassin down the avenue," "This is not a joke so please stop smiling," and last but not least, "Dispensable-Dixie-cup-drinker."
"War on War," "Heavy Metal Drummer," "Jesus, Etc.," and "I'm the Man that Loves You" are probably the catchiest songs of the summer. "Heavy Metal Drummer" is a hazy flashback to all those bands and festivals of yesteryear, and that girl who fell in love with the drummer…then another and another.
Wilco know its roots. Wilco evolves. Those lucky enough to have seen the band in Missoula last November will probably testify to its creative genius. Those who still don't know who the hell Wilco is are missing out on one of the most underrated bands in America.
Lauryn Hill, MTV Unplugged No. 2.0
There's not much to be said about Lauryn Hill's Unplugged because it needs to be listened to before one can make any judgments. But let it be said that Lauryn Hill has some things to get off her chest, and doesn't give a damn if what they have to say makes you feel uncomfortable. Sister's got a song to sing—quite a few of them actually, and she might even make room for seven interludes, an intro and an outro.
Simplicity. That might be the beauty of this album, though you can't really quite call it an album. Unplugged might not win Hill another Grammy, but it's surely as brave as The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and maybe even more so. Like all great artists, Hill has transcended herself, and she transcended the whole of hip-hop with the release of Miseducation. Unplugged is different, raw, and for the most part only she and her guitar. You won't hear Eric Clapton's fingerwork here, but you will hear a "music star" do something no other diva out there has the courage to do: Give the world herself and no one else. This album is priceless because of that.
Many things are obvious while listening to this album: Hill has had a complete spiritual transformation and has discovered God. As she slips into "Adam Lives in Theory," a song about mankind (mankind without exception, for all those who still think Lauryn Hill is a racist), she calmly lays this down: "I know a lot of the content in the songs is very heavy, but, see, fantasy is what everybody wants, but reality is what everyone needs, and I've just retired from the fantasy part." Every song reflects that rebirth and wisdom. Every song is full of life, truth, and the strength to say what she thinks is wrong with the world. But Hill does more than simply accuse everyone in her rants. She includes herself in those accusations and offers solutions after the confrontation of her own problems.
True, many of the songs sound the same, but Hill's voice is so strong and sure that the slight repetition becomes trivial in light of her poetry. Lauryn Hill is a poet, and these songs are about the words. If you don't agree with what Hill has to say, you'll probably hate this album. If you do see something wrong with greed and deception's grip on the world, you're already in love with it.
We are very lucky to have someone like Lauryn Hill today. She has proved herself in an industry of greed and materialism and now has the courage to walk away and has survived to talk about it with brutal honesty and clarity. Let's hope this doesn't mean no more music from Lauryn Hill. But if so, we are all the more blessed to have her sit down, talk with us and sing us her songs.

heys jeepers i want to get the magna flow exhaust for the pentastar 16991 and the magna flow for sale on ebay is for left hand drive ,will it fit the right hand drive aussie versions??
Re: right hand drive does it matter?
It is hard to say...
Magnaflow used a LHD to fit there system
if the RHD looks identitcal to the LHD then you should not have an issue.
Climb under the car and snap some pictures maybe someone can help you determine from the pictures.

Hi, I'm from the UK. Sheffield specifically for any Britons here. I'm a 25 year old filmmaker (the type that doesn't earn money). A few weeks ago, without any provocation or inspiration, I decided I wanted to be Boba Fett. Out of everyone I know, I tend to go a little crazy over Halloween costumes and one year I hope to have a Boba ready in the wings for next year or the year after.
When I was little, all the kids would be playing football but my small band of mates would be re-enacting Star Wars on the school playground. I'd always get picked to be Luke given my (then) golden hair and haircut, despite my protests to be Han or one of the bad guys. So I guess it's only natural that a need to cosplay Star Wars arose. For the past two Halloweens, I've been the red Power Ranger, so I have experience prettying up resin casts and adding visors which should help me out for this project.
Last year, I toyed with the idea of building a stormtrooper outfit but funds and sheer work shied me away from it. I have a feeling Boba is just as difficult if not moreso, but I'm happy to find that out later rather than now.
I'm still undecided on which Boba to recreate. I initially skewed towards ROTJ as it's the more familiar, but ESB is pulling me back in too. It will most likely be a highly inaccurate no budget build due to my lack of funds, but after some lurking I was thrilled to find this place is not as elitist as I first expected.
So I hope to get along with everyone and mine you all for Boba information with endless questions!

Saturday July 7, 2012
Steve Racioppe, former sales director at Whitmire Micro-Gen, now directs operations and forward planning for distributor Geotech Supply.
LODI, Calif. – Geotech Supply announced that Steve Racioppe has joined the company as its general manager, effective May 1. Racioppe will direct operations and forward planning for the distributor, which specializes in supplying products that serve the pest management, safety compliance and building industries.
Racioppe comes to Geotech Supply with 30 years of experience in pest management, first on the service side and then, later, in distribution and manufacturing. During his 12-year tenure as sales director at Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, before it was acquired by BASF, his focus on customer service and putting the customer first helped grow that company's business. "Basically," he recalls, "it was done by developing relationships with customers, understanding their needs, and then trying to exceed their expectations. It was about helping make the customer's job easier that made a difference."
That mission is something he hopes to replicate at Geotech Supply, which has been in business for six years. "Geotech Supply is committed to serving a number of industries, including the pest control industry, with a unique product offering, with several proprietary products," Racioppe says. "We're not a full-line supplier, but we are a distributor to the professional pest control industry, specializing in equipment and non-chemical supplies. We focus on only the best products to make the selection process easier for our customers. If we sell it, you know it is the best quality for the job."
Racioppe has a master's degree in entomology from Rutgers University. He and his family are relocating to Northern California.

First, load the package using either Get or Needs. Then doing
?contextname`* will list all of the symbols available to the
user where contextname is the name of the context for the
package loaded. Usually (not always), this is the same as the
package name. For example, if I load a package I've created for
my usage by doing:
In[1]:= << Statistics`SplineSmoothing`
In[2]:= ?Statistics`SplineSmoothing`*

Maeder has written a couple of texts on programming in
Mathematica that would make a good starting point. But even
without using Maeder's books, simply opening packages that are
distributed with Mathematica with a text editor to see how they

WASHINGTON – The United States expects smooth relations with Australian Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott, but it remains to be seen if he can match his predecessor's good rapport with President Barack Obama.
Abbott, a conservative who was born in London and has spoken of the importance of the "Anglosphere," led his coalition to victory over the Labor Party of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, a Mandarin-speaking former diplomat and China expert.
Rudd, who faced criticism over his style and his party's internecine fighting, was arguably one of the foreign leaders closest to the usually reserved Obama.
Kurt Campbell, who was the State Department's top official on East Asia during Obama's first term, said that Rudd left "almost ocean-vessel-size shoes to be filled" in helping the United States think strategically.
"Despite personal foibles and a complex relationship in Australia, I think in many respects Kevin Rudd has been the most important strategic thinker in Asia in the last generation," said Campbell, a key force in Obama's "pivot" toward a greater U.S. focus on Asia.
Rudd may have had more influence in shaping Washington's policies in Asia than any foreigner since modern Singapore's founder, Lee Kuan Yew, during the Vietnam War era, Campbell told a conference. "He helped us join the East Asia Summit, he helped us think about the fact that the defining feature of modern international relations is China's arrival on the global scene and every aspect of our diplomacy has to be re-created and re-crafted with that in mind."
Campbell was quick to say that America expects to work well with Abbott. Australia is one of the oldest U.S. allies and has joined Washington in every major war, including the conflicts in Iraq and Vietnam.
Obama and Abbott, in a telephone call after the election, shared concerns about Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons.
Officials said that Obama and Abbott also discussed moving ahead with a 2011 plan for Washington to move more than 2,500 U.S. Marines to the northern city of Darwin by 2016-17, perhaps the most visible Australian support for the pivot to Asia. Ernie Bower, the Southeast Asia chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said it was possible that the United States and Australia would expand the Darwin troop plan, as it enjoys widespread support.
Climate change is one area where, at least in the abstract, Obama and Abbott do not agree.
Abbott has pledged to scrap a carbon tax imposed by the previous government and, like many U.S. conservatives, has voiced doubt about the science behind climate change.
The last prime minister from Abbott's Liberal Party, John Howard, had been then-U.S. President George W. Bush's primary ally in opposing the Kyoto Protocol, which required rich countries to curb emissions.

We stayed at some of the most extraordinary and luxurious places in the course of our travels; we felt magic at Troncones; one of the most magnificent beaches we have found anywhere in the world. Troncones is singular in its homogenizing of modern luxury and Old World charm. Surrounded by mountains, nestled above a cove with pristine and rockless beaches.; colorful, tropical wildlife enhance the artisans and art in the surrounding country making for a timeless quality that cannot help but wash away the urgency of life today.
Villa Milagro is private and comfortable; elegant and upscale, mixing the best of relaxed and luxurious environments into an insurmountable peace. Concerted effort is made to cater to your every vacation need; be pampered while you decide if you would rather swim or surf directly in front of the villa or walk miles up the beach before coming back to the art we have collected from the far corners of the world and Mexico for your pleasure here in Villa Milagro.

Album Review: Hank III's 3 Bar Ranch - Cattle Callin'
Hank III's 3 Bar Ranch - Cattle Callin'
2011 Hank 3 Records/Megaforce Records
Ray Van Horn, Jr.
Welcome to "cattle core," folks...
Only a renegade hombre like Hank III could conceive of something so outrageous yet produced under reasonably honorable intentions. This is one of three albums the grandson of legendary country liege Hank Williams will be releasing simultaneously on the same day. Of those, Hank III's 3 Bar Ranch will go down as the strangest concoction this side of Mike Patton and Jello Biafra--and wait until you get to the zydeco at the gates of Hell second album of Hank III's double dip, Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown.
If you're acclimated to the gonzo doings of Patton and Biafra's offshoot projects (not to mention the Butthole Surfers and even Brent Hinds of Mastodon's side gigs), you'll at least be prepared coming into 3 Bar Ranch's unbelievably weird Cattle Callin'. It's also unbelievably hilarious, whether Hank III intended it as such or not.
Fathom if you will, an unholy alliance between death metal, cowpunk, grindcore and thrash, all spewed singlehandedly by Hank III with dizzying sprays of cattle auctioneering overtop. Yeah, you're reading that correctly. Jettisoned from the inexplicably rapid mouths of actual cattle callers such as Tim Dowler, Joe Coggins, Hugh and Gwynn Howell, Mitch Jordan and others, you won't believe it at face value until you put this madcap son of a gun into your player.
Hank III chugs, twists, sears and propels insane crunch chords, gnashing guitar solos and ratchety drum smacking below the inhuman nattering of his dubbed auctioneer tracks. Cattle Callin' speeds and it huffs and it is a maniacal trip into an Arkansas hellhole where Hank III eventually twines in some filtered electro vocals--think Gibby Haynes--which pummel the snot out of the listener. Sometimes he pelts his audience with self-contained minute-plus blasts. Sometimes Hank III whirls up 10 minute marathons. For awhile, anyway, you'll be roaring along. If you think Gibby Haynes scatting all over Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hotrod" is a trip, it's a mere jaunt to the chicken shack by comparison to 3 Bar Ranch.
What starts out as a complete scream eventually becomes a major endurance test as Cattle Callin' clocks in at 75 minutes of, well, psychotic cattle calling with an unhinged metallic undercarriage. Honestly, though, most folks stepping up to 3 Bar Ranch are quite possibly going to check out halfway through once the joke's been worn out.
Yet Hank III doesn't intend for Cattle Callin' to be a joke. His very serious intent is to lure younger generations in the west towards keeping an old tradition alive, even if it means seducing them with loud, crashing crunk. On the positive, though, Hank's playing is damned good, to the point you can disect his reckless yet hammering instrumentation from the nerve-wracking layers of quick-lipped steer selling. Hank shreds as impressively as he picks on his country tunes, but all the better this raging polecat knows how to disseminate genres and yet appeal to both. Well, at least the metal and punk sanctions are more open-minded towards Hank III's pure country than vice-versa. Try line dancing to this shit, Austin City Limits...
Hank III's decision to independently release 3 Bar Ranch along with his doom project Attention Deficit Domination and the double album Ghost to a Ghost/Guttertown probably comes on the heels of his dissatisfaction with Curb Records, which really didn't know how to market Hank's wild side. At least his Hillbilly Joker album finally hit his fans, along with his punishing and frequently awesome Assjack endeavor.
Maybe only Mike Patton has more alter entities than Hank III, but the margin is closing quickly. No doubt Patton has to be saluting Cattle Callin' for its unapologetic moxy. This, along with Hank III's other two new albums, are all angry, bitter pills which you have to swallow sideways to get them down. Not many listeners have the constitution to hang with 3 Bar Ranch for the full hour fifteen, but catch what you can, because Cattle Callin' is history in the making. What that history is remains to be seen, but you'll at least have borne witness.
Rating: ***1/2

The Roma (gypsy) minority in Eastern Europe is continually confronting discrimination. In the town of Vsetin, several Roma families were uprooted and forced to relocate 100 miles away into a community they know nothing about. They have been placed in dilapidated houses. As Frantisek Zuga noted, "The mental strain is the worst because we are used to being together. At town hall they threw the mortgage contract at us. We didn't know we were going here. We were under pressure." The displaced families were put into trucks and dumped at midnight in the new town.
Few, if any, American newspapers report on the plight of over one million Roma people scattered throughout Eastern Europe who daily encounter hatred, discrimination, inability to have children or attend school, and constant harassment. Most accounts of the Holocaust taught in American schools ignore the hundreds of thousands of Romas who were killed in the death camps.

T.J. Lane hearing heald in Chardon
(Chardon) - An appeals hearing was held in this morning, examining the sentence handed down to T.J. Lane in the Chardon High School shooting case. The session was conducted at the Geauga County Courthouse.
Judges Timothy Cannon, Cynthia Westcott Rice and Thomas Wright, from the 11th District Court of Appeals heard arguments for and against the appeal for Lane who shot and killed three students at the school 2 years ago.
Lane was 17 when the crimes were committed, and was sentenced last year to three life terms without parole after pleading guilty.
Appellate attorney Michael Partlow claims Lane should have been eligible for parole because he was a juvenile.
Geauga County Prosecutor James Flaiz contends Lane's age was taken into account by the judge, and it was decided that youth was not a factor since Lane methodically planned and conducted a complex attack on the high school.
It could be several weeks, or even months before a decision is made on Lane's appeal.
In a different juvenile murder case, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled earlier that a trial court must reconsider the sentence of life without parole that was handed down.

Purchasing 09 X6 5.0..but don't think I'm being offered a good deal..
I'm new here. I'm in the process of purchasing a 2009 X6 5.0 and am supposed to be picking it up this weekend. It has almost 18,000 miles on it.
My concern though is whether I'm being jurked around on the price (I'm a female). They were asking $62,000 for it. It has all of the main packages..Comfort Access, Sport Pack., Cold Weather, Premium Sound, Rear view camera, Premium Package.
The first thing we told the salesman (this is at a well known BMW dealership) was that we wanted the best price possible..hoping they would take off at least $3000 since the 2012's are out, but they don't seem to want to come down.
I left a deposit for it and everything's ready to go..but today I found a 2009 with 16,000 loaded for $54,999..it's just not the color I wanted.
I called the salesman to let him know what I'd found at a different dealership..and he immediately seemed frustrated..saying that the deal was done and that there wasn't much he could do. What I wanted to say was, "sir MY deal isn't done until I say it is"..but I just told him that since I called while he was off today..to wait until he got back into the office tomorrow.
I hate dealing with used car salesmen
Any advice??? Thanks

Satellite cross links generally require narrower bandwidths for increased power concentration. We can increase the power concentration by increasing the cross link frequency with the same size antenna. But the source technology and the modulation hardware required at these higher frequency bands are still in the development stage.

Norma and Jeff's Wedding
"This is the most amazing place, the serice was excellent, the food was restaurant quality, the presentation was great, Lakeview has only one event at a time, so wherever you are in the place, these are the guests that are in the same wedding as you are. It was amazingly decorated the Sweet Extravaganza, dessert buffet was out of this world, and a big hit with the guests, we had a live band and the sound was fabulous. The cocktail hour was amazing. While everything adds up and it is very expensive, it is a elegant event and people will always remember it. We got thank you cards from people afterwards thanking us for inviting them to the fairytale wedding."

In the mess of things I'm sure that emails were missed.
I was thinking about ways to help with promoting glfusion ... one of those being the stickers ... and figured that there is a good possibility that I'm not the only one interested in this, so I ask:
Would it be possible to get an added page here at glfusion with logos, banners, desktop backgrounds, and some other promotional media that we could use in our "Grass Root" efforts?
** I'm needing a higher resolution png or any vector file formated logos to make stickers (pref 300dpi or better**
*** on a side note, I couldn't be happier with everything that has been worked on here at glfusion. JeepRiver.com was my first experience with glfusion, and has become a grale to me. 14 sites and climbing everyday.
**** If your not using glfusion yet, Try IT!!! by far the most user friendly CMS out there!!!
I haven't forgotten about this. I would like to publish a couple media items, but I don't think there is much interest on our end at this point in having stickers made. The cost currently being the main deterrent, and it's not like we're planning on attending any trade shows or anything in the near future.
Keep pinging me every now and again on this, and I'll try to get some higher resolution images online for folks to play with.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Third year men's tennis assistant coach Mark Dickson has been chosen to lead the USTA Florida Team at the 2013 USTA Boys 18 National Team Championship, held at the Atkins Tennis Center, located on the University of Illinois campus.
The experience for Dickson is anything but new. The former pro, who ascended to No. 32on the ATP Tour singles rankings, has been mentoring and coaching young athletes since 1990. His private instruction and tutoring led students to ATP rankings as high as No. 159 on the ATP Tour and No. 39 on the WTA Tour.
The Championship, which starts July 27 and ends July 30, gives Dickson another chance to relay his coaching knowledge onto others. His Florida Team will be comprised of seven of the top 100 nationally ranked amateurs. That is the most top 100 players on any of the 17 participating teams.
The 17 teams are selected by geographical region, formed by the USTA. Established in 1881, The USTA is the largest tennis organization in the world. It is comprised of more than 770,000 individual members and 8,000 organizational members that work to ensure the best tennis experience.
While July 27 represents the start of a Championship, is also solidifies the strength tennis has at both the University of Miami and in the state of Florida. Regarded as a top tier program, Miami tennis is well represented by some of the finest coaches in the country. For Coach Dickson, the experience is one he will certainly embrace.

Jared was searching. He was a soldier in the U.S. Army, stationed in Italy, and he felt like his faith was slipping. It was not something that a man who'd spent years of discernment in the seminary was going to take lightly and when the local military parish took a trip to Padova to see the tomb of St. Anthony, the 29-year-old knew an opportunity when he saw it.
"St. Anthony is my confirmation saint," he told CatholicMatch. "It (the trip) was just what I needed to get my faith back in order and do some heavy praying." One of the things Jared prayed for was that the long-lost woman who was meant for him, be brought in his direction.
When he returned the barracks that night, he logged into his CatholicMatch account and saw he'd been contacted. Alyssa, the same age as he and living in West Virginia, sent him an emotigram and thanked him for his service to their country.
The subsequent exchange of messages established enough common ground that when Jared returned to his home in Corpus Christi for Thanksgiving, Alyssa got on the plane and flew to Texas to see him.
It turns out that Jared wasn't the only one with a devotion to St. Anthony. On this trip to meet him and his family, Alyssa revealed that on the day he'd been at the tomb in Italy, she was praying to the very same saint, that the man God had set aside for her be revealed.
"We realized that St. Anthony was playing matchmaker," Jared said. That sounds fun and light to say, but they both recognized it takes serious prayer to truly understand the will of God.
After some time, Jared's was assigned to Afghanistan again. "When I was deployed, we constantly wrote letters, emailed and skyped," Jared said. On rare occasions they were able to talk on the phone. "She stuck with me through thick and thin and that means a lot to a soldier."
Alyssa's loyalty to Jared from afar won his heart and he would eventually propose to her, and she said yes. In July of 2010 they were married. As they approach their third Christmas together, they have an eight-month old baby boy and are expecting a little girl in March.
Jared had the good fortune to meet a lot of good people on CatholicMatch—indeed, one of the first women he met, is still a friend and keeps in touch with both he and Alyssa to this day. But there was one that was set aside for him, and he for her. And it was St. Anthony pulling the strings to bring them together.
