Cloak and dagger world of spies exposed in NYC show
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The mysterious cloak and dagger world of international espionage and its real-life heros and villains are exposed in a new exhibition, the first to be sanctioned by U.S. intelligence agencies.
"Spy, the Secret World of Espionage," which opens at the Discovery Times Square on Friday, includes hundreds of artifacts, some from the vaults of the CIA and FBI and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
They range from a World War Two-era collapsible motorbike that could be dropped by parachute and deployed in 10 seconds and a German ENIGMA machine to create secret messages to a camel saddle used by one of the first CIA agents in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks to bugging devices, microdots and surveillance equipment.
"This is the first and only time these items will ever travel. It is kind of an unparalleled cooperation and collaboration with the CIA and FBI," said H. Keith Melton, an author, intelligence historian and expert on spy technology who contributed items from his own collection.
The interactive exhibit, which will travel to 10 U.S. cities, offers a glimpse into a part of history and a secret world peopled with real-life agents, who Melton says are often completely misdefined by Hollywood and are nothing like James Bond.
"Pop culture is about two things -- assassination and seduction. The real world is about information and communication. The sad thing is information and communication don't sell movies," said Melton.
"James Bond wouldn't last four minutes in the real world."
Melton, the author of several books on espionage including "Ultimate Spy," has spent decades gathering unusual spying gadgets from Germany, Russia, Mexico, Australia, Canada, Great Britain and the Czech Republic that explain what espionage is. Continued...

FMA Free Song of the Day, 10/11/10: "Stance Gives You Balance" by Hogan Grip
By Noel Black On October 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In A Big Something, Free Song of the Day, Music
"Hogan Grip is a project that consists of Tony Higgins (Junior 85, So Cow) and DeclanQKelly and is dedicated to the game of Golf. More specifically the music is based around a golf instructional manual written by Ben Hogan in the late '50's. A little weird and obscure (we all love weird and obscure don't we?) the subject matter may be but the music really fits the topic. According to the band if you listen to their EP "Stance Gives You Balance" it will help in lowering your golf score."

Apr 28, 2014 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterThe Lady Wolverines remain in fourth place in the Class 4-A West with a 2-3-1 conference record behind Green River, Casper Natrona and Casper Kelly Walsh.
The Riverton Lady Wolverines thought they had scored the winning goal in the final minute of Friday's Class 4-A conference soccer match against Rock Springs at Wolverine Field.
But the Lady Tigers didn't quit and scored their own goal just seconds later as time in expired in regulation play.
After after a scoreless overtime, the two teams settled for a 2-2 tie.
The Lady Wolverines remain in fourth place in the Class 4-A West with a 2-3-1 conference record behind Green River, Casper Natrona and Casper Kelly Walsh. Overall, Riverton is 4-9-1 on the season. Rock Springs and Evanston have yet to register a conference win.
"I felt like we had moments of good play, but I don't feel that we played our best game for sure," Riverton head coach Tanya Santee said.
All the scoring in Friday's match happened late in the second half.
Rock Springs scored first in the 65th minute, but Riverton's Savannah Salisbury drilled a direct kick five minutes later to tie the score.
With just a minute left, Riverton's defense won possession, got the ball to Salisbury in the mid-field, who then passed to Jordan Shells. She found Taylor Paskett-Krause for what seemed to be the game winner.
"We lost our focus a little bit, and they came back and scored in the next minute. We then frenzied a bit in overtime after controlling a majority of play in regulation," Santee said.
The Wolverines host Casper Natrona Thursday before traveling to Casper Saturday for match against Casper Kelly Walsh.
"For the girls, this was an exciting match to play. That part was good," Santee said.
The Lady Wolverines should be at full strength Thursday when Megan Peil returns to Riverton's defense after missing Friday's match due to family reasons, according to Santee.

Lord Redesdale, an English aristocrat, on being told in the 1920s by his wife that Tess of the d'Urbervilles, which he had just finished, was not a true story, said: "What? Do you mean the damned sewer invented it?"
It is impossible for somebody who has now spent 30 years, publicly, professionally, in the sewer - I dream up invented stories and put them before the public - not to stop occasionally and ask himself not just why he is doing what he is doing, but what it is that he is actually doing. We are now used to the idea that the daily manufacture of fictionalised versions of our lives has unnoticeably become the essential background against which we conduct our own. You might say it is one defining mark of a modern civilisation that it finds itself producing more stories. Each night, a near majority of the population of Britain, in an action which plainly has no parallel in the previous history of our island race, sits down to watch actors simulate situations which the producers devoutly hope millions of people will recognise.
What does it matter whether we call it art or not? Nightly, we expose ourselves to countless myths, both uniform and uniformed. Our representatives, those chosen from our tribe for their talent or their beauty, pull on blue serge or green scrubs to appear before us as doctors, as policemen and as vets. But strangely, although this development is so singular and peculiar to our age, although we experience so many more of these artefacts than any large human group before us, we rarely pause to ask ourselves not just whether the consumption of endless parallel narratives to our own is necessary, but what on earth we think we are doing when we indulge in it, or rather when we indulge in it to such extraordinary excess.
The 20th century was marked out by two undoubtedly splendid developments. In the first place, art, in most of its forms, became available to the many rather than the few. Thanks to the idea of universal education, to the influence of mass newspapers, to radio and to television, news of the pleasures of art reached more and more people. But secondly, and, just as important, art itself reacted to the knowledge that it might be able to speak to a much wider audience.
No longer was a Zola or a Dickens an isolated figure, eccentrically choosing to portray the lives of the poor rather than the rich. Now, and in particular through film and television, it was understood that the special potential of fiction might be to throw light where it had rarely been thrown before - on the daily hardships of the forgotten and the underprivileged. It was still possible, of course, mainly in the first half of the 20th century - though we may note somewhat less in the second - to make major breakthroughs of technique: Joyce, Proust and Borges testify to that. But never forget that Hardy, Lawrence and Brecht made equally powerful breakthroughs of subject matter.
"Painting is dead, they tell me, but it's never concerned me," said Willem de Kooning, who proved his point by going on painting long after his conscious mind was able to understand what his hand was doing. It is one of the most notable features of this age of artistic over-production that just as the quantity of fiction produced has grown so alarmingly, so too has the number of observers ready lazily to declare that all life has gone out of the activity.
We no sooner open the cultural pages of a newspaper than some commentator tells us that the novel, the theatre, the television play, the poem or the movie has died, but that somehow nobody else has noticed. There is now no more lordly way of filling up the pages of a broadsheet than by giving them over to the obituary notice for some particular art form. There is no more glamorous way of opening a book fair than by heralding the death of the book. "I had spent 40 years reviewing plays," said the recently retired drama critic, Irving Wardle, "And I didn't care if I never stepped inside a theatre again." It is as if confronted with the sheer fertility of a supermarket, the easiest response is to smash up your trolley and start screaming that nothing in the shop is worth eating.
But underneath this understandable feeling of helplessness - a helplessness we recognise in the way we now speak of politics, just as in the way we now speak of art - lies a deeper unease. We cannot quite remember what virtue there is in telling made-up stories rather than in telling true ones. The analogy with painting is interesting because it was the introduction and growing popularity of photography which left painters wondering what they were going to do with their lives. If the job was no longer simply to serve as society's secretary, or as iconographer for its religion, then what was it? Plainly, portraying the madonna was no longer enough. As news pictures acquired a clarity and immediacy which seemed to convey both urgent information and strong feeling to the public, painters began to wonder whether they were not, by infinitely complex means, doomed only to convey sensations which new methods of reproduction could deliver much more simply.
The story of how painting found a role in the 20th century is a particularly inspiring one, indicated most clearly in Picasso's unexpected reply when he was told of the insult which the Royal Academician Alfred Munnings had delivered after looking at his work for the first time. "Picasso," Munnings said, "can't paint a tree." "No," said Picasso. "He's right. I can't paint a tree. But I can paint the feeling you have when you look at a tree."
It is this superior means of access to our inner sensations, this sense that the artist is inside us, knowing what we know but able to give it voice and shape, this gift, if you like, for expressing the inexpressible, which has offered the artist his traditional claim of superiority to the "mere" documentarian. Music, of all the arts, we are told, is the highest because it is the nearest of them all to being at peace with its own irreducibility. It is, by definition, not a record of anything because it does not exist in relation to anything which can be adequately discussed or described. Music can only be experienced and because it has no truck with the common currency of verbal concepts or ideas, it is generally held to be the closest to the sublime.
But when literature and the performing arts seek the same status as music or pure dance, when they assert that they are, as you might say, something more than photographic, then they are forced to make a second and more contentious claim: namely that there is something called the "higher truth" and that this higher truth can only be reached by the curious stratagem of lying. From this artistic paradox - that by telling lies we reach the truth - an infinite variety of fun has been had by artists as various as Pirandello, Schnitzler and Luis Bunuel. If you can point to one prescient saying at the end of the 19th century which foretells all the artistic mayhem which will follow then surely it is Oscar Wilde's ringing declaration in The Importance of Being Earnest that: "The truth is never pure, and rarely simple."
When Freud produced a theory which formalised this already growing conviction that we are all in only irregular touch with what goes on inside our own selves, then he cut the tape which allowed artists to pour on to a wonderfully irresponsible new field of play. Freud's bracing announcement that "the ego is not master in his own house," transformed the cultural world quite as much as it transformed the psychological. Not only were our characters unknowable. So were our motives. Surrealism thrived on the idea that we could not hope to distinguish the face from the mask, that dream might be as real to us as the real.
There seemed no end to the good-natured sport that could be had by indulging the notion, in film and in written fiction, that human beings have the utmost difficulty getting to the heart of anything and - a very 20th-century idea, this - that "anything" may not, in the long run, turn out to have any heart at all. But as the century closed, you could feel people tire of the artist's facile escape clause that there is no one truth, only yours or mine, and only at this moment and not necessarily for long.
We had all seen too many suspect biographical dramas, which had falsified the facts of a person's real life, defended by their unscrupulous makers on the specious grounds that "No, well, it's not the literal truth of what happened, but it does express the higher, poetic truth of the thing." No wonder the words "higher", "poetic" have become showbusiness code for "inaccurate".
Years ago, when a play of mine was performed in Holland, I asked my agent how it had gone. He replied that it had gone as well as a play possibly could in Holland. I asked him what he meant. "Well," he said, "because of the remains of a Puritan tradition, people in Holland never really approve of plays, because plays are fiction, and what is fiction but lying?"
It was my agent's reply which made me realise why the avant-garde has always been so popular in that part of the world.
In the late 1960s and 70s, I was always fascinated to see that the Dutch took to the avant-garde with the same ease and confidence with which English-speaking audiences took to musicals or soap opera. In particular, they responded to any kind of theatre which came close to performance art. They felt comfortable when the artist was willing to strip him or herself down to become the subject of their own artwork. (It is no coincidence that the television programme Big Brother originated in the Netherlands). The conventional playmaker or novelist, by contrast, uses strategies intended not to reveal but to disguise. When you walk naked in a public square, perhaps letting out an unedited stream of consciousness at bystanders, then you are doing something fundamentally honest. When, on the other hand, you pretend to be someone you are not in order to recreate events which never, in truth, happened, then you are conniving at what may, from one point of view, be seen as a deliberate act of deceit.
"What, do you mean the damned sewer invented it?"
The late 20th century saw so many readers announcing that they preferred biography to fiction, and so many television-watchers declaring that they preferred the news - "hard" news, "real" news - to the contrivances of drama, that you may suspect, as I do, that some shift was taking place in how the public wanted its cocktail - how many parts lies it was prepared to tolerate mixed up with how many parts truth.
For myself, I can only approach this difficult subject by taking examples from the world I know best. No play presented recently in London was more impressive than The Colour of Justice, Richard Norton-Taylor's remarkable 1999 recreation of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry. Norton-Taylor had apparently done no more than choose those incidents or testimonies which most interested or alarmed him. But in that act of editing, he laid before a live audience all the subtleties and intricacies of British racism, all its forms and gradations, with a clarity which I had never seen emulated by television, documentary nor newspaper. The play seemed not just a rebuke to the British theatre for its continuing drift towards less and less important subject matter. It also exposed other forms by the sheer seriousness and intensity with which it was able to bring the theatre's special scrutiny to bear.
It is true, of course, that the dialogue in The Colour of Justice was, as it were, "found". Norton-Taylor, like a sculptor who works from given materials, did not actually have to waste time in the tedious business of giving characters lines, any more than the sculptor sits rusting iron or degrading driftwood. But in his faultless act of organisation and selection, he had done precisely what an artist does. By Picasso's great criterion, Norton-Taylor did not paint a tribunal of a racist crime. He painted the anger you feel when you look at a tribunal.
It was seeing that play that made me realise how lazy is the natural assumption that what we see on television, presented to us as fact, is in any true sense "true". When, in 1998, I wrote Via Dolorosa, an account of a visit I had made to Israel and to the Palestinian territory, then I became convinced that justice could only be done to complicated questions of faith and belief by dropping the familiar apparatus of play-making and instead resolving to appear in my own play.
As an outsider, a half-informed visitor, I despaired of writing fiction which relied on conventional scenes. I knew that English actors bearing machine guns and challenging each other at guard posts, or wearing yarmulkas, or pressing their wrongly proportioned bodies against the wire of refugee camps, would, almost by definition, introduce an element of falsity which would pollute the subject matter. So I determined to stand - yes, like a Dutch performance artist - making myself the vessel of the show in order better to direct people's attention to the material itself. It was my contention that, in this case, when the subject of a work is so hotly contested, so open to argument, that the audience could best decide whether the witness were honest if the witness were willing to appear before them.
The response to the work took me aback. People told me they had watched countless television documentaries, read countless articles, bought countless books, but that they had never felt close to the experience of the Middle East until they watched a play, a play which for all its unusualness of form, nevertheless operated by all the conventional measures of fiction. Nothing could have made me happier than a comment from a news journalist: "One leaves the performance with the conviction that one word can be worth a thousand pictures."
As a result of this decision, as it were, to "go Dutch", I am now frequently asked whether I am giving up regular playwriting altogether. It's an irritating question, for not only does it miss the point that Via Dolorosa is, indeed, a play, but it also assumes that form is something which you apply to subject matter like paste, rather than something which grows from within it. Via Dolorosa was an attempt to escape from formula, not to impose a new one. Yes, it rejected old models. But it made no claim to be a new model. By standing alone on a stage, as Simon Callow rather unkindly put it, "unprotected by an actor's shield of technique", it is true that I seemed able, on occasion, to convince the audience of an urgent sincerity which they had not always found in other plays I had written.
If I could bottle the quality of the audience's reaction - their intense silences, their profound and mature consideration of the world I described - then I admit I would carry that bottle in my pocket for the rest of my life: a sort of playwright's elixir. But as soon as someone asked me, "Oh, could you come and do Ireland now?", then it was clear there is no such thing in art as a formal solution that works more than once. "If the novel is to survive," said Carol Shields recently, "it has to be subverted."
I would agree, but add that you can never subvert anything in the same way twice.
You will gather from what I am saying that I have respect for any artist who wants to drag art closer to reality and whose inspiration is the wealth of the external universe. There are only three disciplines to which human beings can go for help in understanding their own predicaments: to art, to science and to religion. There is so much to know and we have such short lives in which to learn that I cannot understand any writer who, at some level, does not value curiosity over opinion, nor seek enlightenment over self-expression. What else will persuade the sated consumers that fiction can offer them something which the melodrama of football or the lassitude of magazines cannot? The ceaseless reiterations of reality with which we are hourly bombarded, far from threatening the artist, to my mind offer him or her an increased and special opportunity. It is precisely because there are so very many stories being told that audiences need to be refreshed.
Why fabulate? Because if we do not, everyone else will. We must fabulate because we all, as spectators, need to be brought up short and reminded that the lowest levels of fabulation, the formulaic levels which prevail everywhere, as much in half-baked novels as on half-baked television, do not, in fact, tell us very much about reality, or about ourselves. Bad story-telling, conventional story-telling, story-telling propelled by the doctrinal rules of UCLA screenwriting classes - Reel 10: hero confronts apparently insuperable problem; Reel 11: hero overcomes apparently insuperable problem - serve only to dull us. Such storytelling reduces the world and makes it less than it is.
How much more desperately, then, we need our sense of wonder restored, given that so much in modern fabulation conspires to steal it away. Science, which effortlessly opens minds and exposes them to new ideas, will rob the arts of their audience if we are content to leave fiction clattering mindlessly along tracks it has traversed a thousand times before. And let me be clear: Not only do I look to leave the theatre or the television set knowing more, but most especially I hope to know more about now.
The foolish and ignorant critic is the one who sneers that nothing dates faster than the up-to-date. A lifetime's experience of storytelling has convinced me that nothing is harder in the arts than to be contemporary. A majority of films and books could have been conceived any time in the past 30 years because they are effectively reactions not to life itself but to other imitations of life. The deadly question "Who are your influences?" presupposes of any writer that the primary source of inspiration will not be what is happening now on the street but what has already happened between the covers of other books. But the filmmakers who give fabulation a good name are those - such as Mike Leigh, Pedro Almodovar or the great Iranian, Majid Majidi - who make films which could only have been conceived in response to the contemporary world.
It was interesting during the Broadway run of Via Dolorosa - though not, significantly, during its run in the West End - to notice how much cultural commentary was provoked by the play's mix of the actual and the invented. Controversialists fell on it like red meat. In particular, the novelist Ellen Brockman was moved in the New York Times to argue that the play was part of a whole movement in the arts towards the real. In the face of so much representation of reality, the arts were, she argued, effectively conceding defeat.
In the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem I had noticed how much more powerful were the photographs of the camps than the terrible paintings and statues inspired by them. These artworks seemed somehow to diminish their subject matter, to achieve nothing except to insert an artist's presence gratuitously between people's unbearable suffering and our own reaction to it. From this section in the play, Brockman went on to conclude that my own cry of "Give us the facts! It's the facts we want!" chimed in with a historical moment - a late 20th-century feeling that art, which claims to interpret, in fact is only embellishing in a way that people now find unnecessary.
I was obviously pleased that someone had been stirred by my argument. But, from the same analysis, Brockman and I draw opposite conclusions. It may be true that we are breeding generations who will prefer to watch the security cameras in department stores rather than the Royal Shakespeare Company. But it is interesting to note that, in television history, the fly-on-the-wall documentary which three years ago was all the rage is, in fact, now more or less extinct while East- Enders and Casualty ride on regardless. The makers of these rightly admired and formidable programmes know something which the makers of low-level documentaries did not: that the editing and organisation of reality is a genuine skill.
In response to the ubiquity of the real, we need not, as Brockman argues, to abandon fiction, but, on the contrary to make that fiction more original, more distinctive, to strive even harder to prove that only the greatest art comes near to matching the world's infinite suggestiveness. The enemy of art is not reality, but formula.

a few things..do you have an infrared temp gun to VERIFY the actual temp of the various parts of the motor.....how much coolant percentage have you.. do you have one of the 3 buck coolant protection testers..? 50 percent coolant to 50 percent water.. to a better ratio.. 70 percent coolant to 30 percent water... does your radiator cap actually hold pressure?? 13 or 16 pound...do you have a coolant overflow tank and hose... so the expanding coolant is captured.. then when cooled off.. its pulled back into the motor.. do you have a bypass hose circuit.. from the intake crossover to the top of the water pump... as its a long way from the cylinder walls and heads to the thermostat.. the bypass allows circulation and heat to be picked up.. until it is hot enough to open the thermostat.. exchanging coolant with the cooler mix that was trapped in the radiator by the closed thermostat.... but wait.. as the hot and cooler is exchanged. the thermostat closes again.. this stops the coolant in the radiator... so the fan has a chance of cooling it... the bypass circuit also has a second not so well known function.. its smaller than the size of the flow of the water pump at moderate to higher engine speeds... what.. thats going to build additional mechanical pressure inside the block and heads.. take additional horsepower to do that.. yep... absolutely.... guaranteed.. but each pound of pressure raises the boiling point of the coolant 3F... so it there is 10 pounds of mechanical pressure behind the thermostat.. thats an extra 30 degrees of thermal protection before the coolant boils.. in places like around the exhaust ports... around the exhaust seats.. around the valve guides.... just think how much additional heat those parts get at full throttle or even just moderate loads .. how much would you pay to raise the boiling point of the coolant inside your block and heads by 30 degrees F and only at full load.. how much pressure will the water pump build behind the closed thermostat.. ? 10 pounds... i have not measured your engine with a pressure gauge in the coolant crossover ...did you ever try a 192F or 195F thermostat.. as with the increased horsepower more heat is created by the engine.. 230F to 235F is not unheard of operating temps with a proper ratio of coolant and water. a 192/195 thermostat.. a 16 pound cap... a coolant overflow.. and of course.. a properly designed bypass system.. infrared thermometers start at about 30 bucks.. many are available for 40 to 70 bucks... i have one of the 70 buck versons with the temp head on a long flex shaft... so i can bend it and stick it into places that are hard to get to... but the choice is yours... its an essential tool in any current tool box.. fingers and guessing does not count any more.. or you can invest in temp indicating crayons... that melt at specific temps... i don't know if they have a set that melts at cooling system temps.. i could find out.. but an infrared thermometer is far better... even works on arm pits.. last chance.. change to a 192/195 thermostat.. the last digit of the part number will be a 9... what's it going to hurt... with a 160 or a 180 thermostat and increased horsepower.. the thermostat cycles and cycles.. but the cooling system does not have enough temp differential with the ambient air to loose enough heat fast enough.. the thermostat they stays open.. the coolant flow through the radiator again and again faster and faster.. this is the thermal run away you are experiencing.. its hard to beat the laws of thermal dynamics... people will mention to drill a hole in the thermostat.. if you don't have a bypass circuit.. this is a good idea.. but it still is allowing circulation in the wrong direction.. instead of around and around inside the water pump.. block, heads and intake.. ..it just leaks a little right into the radiator.. the coolant can heat up in the engine.. it does not stabilize the whole system by continuing the circulation until it reaches the thermostat opening temp.. the 192/195F thermostat.. is the answer in most of the overheat problems lately when there is a cooling system runaway...if there is no bypass .. and your temp sensor is in the head.. you are seeing limited movement of the coolant.. print this in large letters.. tape it to the wall for you to reread.. sorry for being so random... this is not edited.. just comes out.... kinda like the coolant when it gets too hot..
I'm surprised you didn't mention the timing, it was the first thing that stood out to me as "This is your problem". A combination of too much fuel and too much timing will overheat an idling and cruising engine in a hurry. Keeps all the heat in the block. I'd retard the timing a fair amount, not knowing what cam and compression you have I can't say where I'd set it for sure, but in the range of 8* to 12* initial with no vacuum advance, and mid-30's all in with no vacuum advance. I'd leave the vacuum advance unhooked until the overheating situation is resolved. If that fixes it or makes it heat up slower, I'd be checking the fueling at idle and cruise, and are you sure it's not just pig rich? Do the plugs come out looking clean?

actually makes total sense even though after several dozen builds I have neverexperienced the problem.However,because the heater works off the water pump and the intake manifold crossover,wouldnt it be the same if I just turned on the heater for the warmup circulation,all else being equal.Like changing the thermostat to 195,coolent ect?
I have had the timing all over the place,just to make sure the tabs were on or off.Doesnt smell overly rich and the plugs look spot on.
the heater system is part of the bypass circuit on some cars...front wheel drive chryslers used the bypass type heater control valves in the late 80s through mid 90s.. heater off.. the coolant just went through the hoses and back to the engine to compete the bypass.. but when you turned the heater on.. if the core was clogged.. the engine would start to over heat... i must have done 50 head jobs my self over the years because of this.. and radiator caps that did not hold pressure because of the loose center disc.. i only buy the versions with spring loaded center discs.. opening the heater control valve circulates the coolant in the heater and the engine.. but does not stop the run away issue as the radiator cannot cool the coolant when the 160 or 180 thermostat is held open by the coolant being hotter than it takes to close the stat to allow the coolant to stop in the radiator so the fans can take the heat out..change to the 192/195F stat.. and a 50/50 to 70/30 percentage that you have mixed from full strength.. verify the cap holds pressure.. that you have some kind of bypass.. you have tried everything else... thermostats are under 10 bucks.. gasket.. 2 or 3.. time to swap it.. 10 or 15 minutes on a cold motor usually.. the only other thing is air flow through the radiator.. there are several variations in belt driven fan blade diameters..there are more variations in the shape and the length of blades... skinny tapered blades don't always move enough air flow .. there are 5, 6 and 7 blade fans.. with electric fans.. please use 10 gauge wire to the relay contacts.. and 10 gauge to the fan from the relays.. the relay coils can be much thinner wires to control the relays.. if the electric fans do not move enough air.. it will not cool the coolant.. and a run away cooling system will happen..

Ajinomoto, in collaboration with JICA, USAID, a local food company and the University of Ghana, will produce samples of Koko Plus to address malnutrition amongst Ghanaian children.
The USAID, JICA, and Ajinomoto are working together to leverage their respective expertise in the joint effort to improve the nutritional well-being of children during the weaning period in Ghana. The Memorandum of Understanding between JICA, USAID, and Ajinomoto for improving child nutrition in Ghana was signed last May 30, 2012. This partnership will be a platform on which to build future public-private sector activities across numerous stakeholders on nutrition in Ghana. Ajinomoto, in collaboration with a local food company and the University of Ghana, will produce samples of "Koko Plus." Koko Plus is a nutritional supplement that should be added to the traditional porridge made of fermented corn (called koko). The base of Koko Plus is locally produced soybeans, but it is fortified with vitamins and an essential amino acid (Lysine) to improve the nutritional values of the food for children. Ajinomoto will provide funding to test a community-based distribution model and evaluate its effectiveness in improving the nutritional status of children.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is the independent institution of the Government of Japan, responsible for the international cooperation and development agenda of the country.
Since its establishment in 1974, JICA has provided various forms of technical assistance in over 150 countries and areas. JICA's role has changed with the times. It has become more field orientated, working more closely with partner governments, international donor organizations, private enterprises and, above all, local people and communities providing greater hope for the future.
In October 2008, JICA merged with the overseas economic cooperation section of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). The new JICA, as the world's largest bilateral development agency, is now able to provide technical assistance, concessional loans and grant aid in a harmonized manner, covering areas from infrastructure to grassroots projects.
JICA has 1,827 staff. They are supported at any one time by thousands of Japanese experts and young and senior volunteers on both short-term and long-term contracts. In addition to the Headquarters in Tokyo and 15 domestic offices, JICA has a network of 96 overseas bureaus and has undertaken projects in around 150 countries.
Japan's ODA:
To deepen partnerships with developing countries and contribute to international stability, Japan has provided Official Development Assistance (ODA) to developing countries for more than half a century. As the organization in charge of administering ODA, JICA has helped foster human resources, technology transfer and infrastructure development in different countries through technical cooperation, ODA loans and grant aid based on bilateral assistance. JICA has forged close relationships with the governments of industrialized countries and international aid organizations aimed at achieving the MDGs and resolving global issues such as climate change.
The themes covered by JICA range from education, health, disaster management, governance, peace-building to social security, gender development and environmental management.
Besides provision of ODA loans and technical cooperation support to various groups, governments and institutions, JICA also supports NGOs directly as well as indirectly. Its Grant Aid support is mostly to governments, which need to work closely with NGOs
Where we work:
JICA's Vision, Mission and Strategy
"Inclusive development" represents an approach to development that encourages all people to recognize the development issues they themselves face, participate in addressing them, and enjoy the fruits of such endeavors. The role of New JICA is to effectively provide backing for this process.
"Dynamic development" refers to the creation of self-reinforcing virtuous cycles of mid- to long-term economic growth and poverty reduction in a constantly changing environment of developing countries where a variety of issues arise simultaneously and get entangled each other. New JICA will provide creative, highly effective support toward this end, at times moving swiftly and at times acting from the longer-term perspective as the situation calls for.
Mission 1: Addressing the global agenda
The advance of globalization brings positive effects, sparking economic development and providing people with new opportunities. It also has its negative side, though, including such effects as uneven wealth distribution and the cross-border issues of climate change, infectious diseases, terrorism, and expanding economic crises. These effects pose a threat to the stability and prosperity of Japan—which depends on resources from around the world—and the rest of the international community. The threat is particularly dire for developing countries. New JICA will make full use of Japan's experience and technologies as it works in concert with international society to address the various globalization-related issues developing countries face in a comprehensive manner.
Mission 3: Improving Governance
A state's capacity for governance refers to its status as a society that can take the resources available to it and direct, apportion, and manage them efficiently and in ways that reflect the will of the people. Improving governance is of vital importance to the stable economic growth of developing countries. However, these states often have underdeveloped legal and judicial systems and administrative organs, which present obstacles to efforts to reduce poverty through economic growth. New JICA will offer support aimed at improving the fundamental systems needed by a state, as well as systems for effectively providing public services based on the needs of people, and at fostering the institutions and human resources needed to manage those systems appropriately.
Mission 2: Reducing poverty through equitable growth
Impoverished people in developing countries are particularly susceptible to the effects of economic crisis, conflict, and disaster and are constantly exposed to the risk of even deeper poverty. Moreover, growing wealth gaps are a destabilizing factor in societies. Helping people to escape poverty and lead healthy, civilized lives is a vital task not only for the growth of developing countries but also for the stability of the international community. To reduce poverty, employment opportunities must be expanded through equitable growth that gives proper consideration to impoverished members of society, and public services like education and healthcare must be enhanced. New JICA will provide support for human resources development, capacity building, policy and institutional improvements, and provision of social and economic infrastructure, thereby pursuing sustained poverty reduction through equitable growth.
Mission 4: Achieving human security
The advance of globalization causes an increase in various cross-border dangers and exposes many people in developing countries to civil strife, disasters, poverty, and other humanitarian threats. The concept of human security places individual human beings at its core, seeking to defend them from fear and want: fear of things like conflict, terrorism, disaster, environmental destruction, and infectious disease, and want in the face of poverty and in social services and infrastructure. By building up people's abilities to address these issues themselves, this approach aims to build societies in which they can live with dignity. In order to defend the weakest members of society from these various threats, New JICA will support efforts to bolster social and institutional capacity and to increase people's ability to deal with threats themselves.
Strategy 1: Integrated assistance
New JICA will undertake the integrated management of three modalities of assistance—technical cooperation, ODA loans, and grant aid—to offer comprehensive support that organically combines such elements as policy and institutional improvements in developing countries; human resources development and capacity building; and improvements in infrastructure. We will also make use of diverse approaches and take advantage of the expanded scale of our operations to tackle issues that go beyond borders and affect entire regions or that span multiple sectors. Through such integrated assistance, New JICA will pursue international cooperation with even more development impact in terms of both its quality and scale.
Strategy 3: Promoting development partnerships
New JICA aims to be a good partner for developing countries, accurately grasping their changing needs through a focus on the field and promoting their own self-help efforts swiftly and effectively through a focus on results. We will also promote public-private partnerships, pooling the experience, technologies, and resources of local governments, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and other actors. Furthermore, to fulfill our responsibilities as one of the largest donor organizations in the world with more than 40 years of experience, we will strengthen partnerships with international organizations and other donor institutions, leading the creation of a broad framework for development assistance in a global community that is seeing growing numbers of players in the international cooperation field and increasingly diverse forms of aid to developing countries.
Strategy 2: Seamless assistance
New JICA brings together a wide variety of aid approaches to provide seamless assistance that spans everything from prevention of armed conflict and natural disasters to emergency aid following a conflict or disaster, assistance for prompt recovery, and mid- to long-term development assistance. Among developing countries are states at various stages of development, from the least developed countries where most of the population lives in poverty to middle-income countries that are on the growth track but are still wrestling with the problems of wealth gaps in society. New JICA will provide assistance in ways that best match the level of development in each recipient nation, taking a long-term perspective and offering seamless assistance to ensure sustainable development into the future.
Strategy 4: Enhancing research and knowledge-sharing
In the face of the advance of globalization and the rise of new international cooperation actors, global trends in the issues affecting developing countries are undergoing sweeping change. Through the establishment of the JICA Research Institute, New JICA will put its wisdom gained in the field to work, building broad networks of academics from Japan and elsewhere around the world to create new knowledge value in the field of international development assistance not just for Japan but also for the entire world. To play a leading role in guiding the newest development trends, we will enhance our research and knowledge-sharing capacities. We will also actively carry out surveys and research grounded in actual assistance projects, focusing on the subjects in both regional and issue-based contexts.

USAID is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential. It was established under the aegis of President John. F. Kennedy in 1961.
USAID's mission is to advance broad-based economic growth, democracy and human progress in developing countries. To do so, it partners with developing nations around the world and other actors, making innovative use of science, technology and human capital to bring the most profound results to the greatest number of people. The Agency is building on its legacy as one of the world's premier development agencies and making new progress toward its ultimate goal: creating the conditions where U.S. assistance is no longer needed.
USAID implements funding from 12 foreign assistance accounts. The overall FY 2015 President's Request for these accounts is $20.1billion of which $9.7 billion is in core USAID accounts: Development Assistance, Global Health Programs, International Disaster Assistance, Food for Peace Title II, Transition Initiatives, Complex Crises Fund, and USAID Operations.
USAID carries out U.S. foreign policy by promoting broad-scale human progress at the same time it expands stable, free societies, creates markets and trade partners for the United States, and fosters good will abroad. Spending less than 1 percent of the total federal budget, USAID works in over 100 countries in the following areas:
Where It Works
With headquarters in Washington, D.C., USAID's strength is its field offices around the world where it works in close partnership with private voluntary organizations, indigenous organizations, universities, the private sector, international agencies, other governments, and other U.S. Government agencies. USAID has working relationships with thousands of American companies and hundreds of U.S.-based private voluntary organizations.
Highlights of the Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Request
Of the total USAID funding for FY 2015, key development spending is planned in the following areas:

Contemporary best-sellers this week
If the top five looks familiar on this week's contemporary best sellers list, that's because we've had no movement in the gold, silver, and bronze positions. Topping off the list is Mary Oliver's A Thousand Mornings, followed by Jack Gilbert's Collected Poems, and pulling in at #3 is Louise Glück with Poems 1962-2012. Philip Appleman makes his way back on the list at #4 with Perfidious Proverbs and Other Poems: A Satirical Look at The Bible, while David Ferry drops one spot to #5 with Bewilderment. New to the list this week at #6 is John Ashbery's latest, Quick Question. Quick question: is John Ashbery a poetry force of nature? Answer: yes. In a review of Quick Question at the Chicago Tribune, Michael Robbins asks, "Lots of poets write the same book over and over, of course, especially as they age. Why complain about Ashbery's sameness when it's so unlikely?" He goes to write, "These lucid sentences, with their marooned pronouns and mismatched adjectives, are classic Ashbery: The syntax seems to almost coax them into sense before snatching them back behind a veil, just as epileptics forget the revelations their fits bring on. What is consistently parsable in late Ashbery are the melancholy specter of approaching death ('As I was saying it's a never-ending getting / closer if you will') and the persistence of humor in the demented twilight ('We serve two masters: haddock and bream')." Also debuting this week is Dean Young's latest, Bender: New and Selected Poems, entering the list at #23. Of Young's latest Publishers Weekly writes, "After 10 books over 20-odd years, Young (Fall Higher) has become one of our most imitated poets: his jocular jumps from topic to topic, debts to Surrealist dream-logic, mixture of postmodern oddity, stand-up comedy and weighty pathos land his work somewhere between John Ashbery (to whom Young owes much) and Billy Collins (whose affability Young shares). This big first retrospective establishes Young's limits along with his strengths: poems that accrete one-liners for comic wisdom ('How goofy and horrible is life') sit beside extended anecdotes in older modes, like 'Three Weeks Late' (about a potential pregnancy)." Finally, entering this list at #29 is Shara McCallum's This Strange Land. Chase Twichell calls This Strange Land "a remarkably accomplished book, ranging from childhood to parenthood, Jamaica to America, in a way that feels integrated and organic. With mature hindsight, Shara McCallum revisits early experience with a piercing clarity (even in dialect, as in the wonderful 'Miss Sally' poems), exposing its undercurrents in the present."

The mystery of a headstone found near St. Paul's Wabasha Street Caves deepened Thursday as one local genealogist tried to track down the "Marie Olsen" whose name is inscribed on it.
Jay Fonkert, a professional genealogist, saw an article in Thursday's Pioneer Press about the headstone. It said a passer-by found the heavy gravestone Sunday in the 300 block of South Wabasha Street, and police recovered it and are trying to find out where it belongs. Other than Olsen's name, the headstone says only "1879-1932."

Remember that just because the law doesn't say it's offlimits doesn't means it's ok. Every year I go to the state fair out here in columbia, it never fails that I see a "no concealed weapons" sign. Keep an eye out for those.

Ratings & Reviews
A drag race turns to tragedy when one car, with three young women inside, topples over a bridge and into the muddy river below. The authorities drag the river, but the search is fruitless and the girls are presumed dead until a single survivor stumbles out of the water with no recollection of how she escaped. Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) decides to forget her strange experience and carry on with her plan to move to Utah to accept a job as a church organist. She rejects the notion that because her profession leads her to work in the church, she is obligated to worship as part of the congregation, and this cold approach to her work unnerves many around her. While driving to the new city, she experiences weird visions of a ghoulish man who stares at her through the windshield, and passes an abandonded carnival on a desolate stretch of highway outside of town to which she feels strangely drawn. Mary tries to live her life in private, ignoring invitations to worship by the minister of her church and the leering propositions of a neighbor in her rooming house. Soon the ghostly apparition from the highway is appearing more often, and she experiences eerie spells in which she becomes invisible to people on the street. A doctor tries to help, but he too is rejected, and eventually Mary realizes that the deserted carnival holds the secret to her destiny. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

Q101.com has long reviled Larry Merchant. At times he has seemed drunk during his post-fight rambling soliloquies. Between him and the wretch-inducing HBO PBP man Jim Lampley, it's been tough to sit through boxing on HBO for decades. That's just our opinion. However…
The recent tussle between Merchant and the equally-addled Floyd Mayweather Jr. had us rooting for Larry. It may have been the only time we dug him. Now he's facing slings and arrows from all sides, and in this fight, we're actually rooting for the old coot. Read on:
HBO commentator Larry Merchant is a well-respected figure in the world of boxing.
The sports journalist has called hundreds, if not thousands of bouts in his 30-plus years with the organization, though no moment has been more significant than that of his in-ring encounter with pound-for-pound great, Floyd Mayweather.
After Mayweather knocked out former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, the colorful fighter drew the ire of Merchant.
After a deliberate clash of heads from Ortiz in the fourth round, the fighters were separated by referee Joe Cortez, who dropped the ball when he didn't send both fighters to their respective corners. He called for a time-in while Ortiz appeared to distract, and shortly thereafter Mayweather connected on a powerful left-right combination that ended the bout.
Merchant infamously entered the ring questioning Mayweather's tactics, to which the boxing great did not take kindly, vehemently calling for the HBO representative to be fired. Merchant responded by saying, "If I was 50 years younger, I'd kick your ass."
Though he runs the largest mixed martial arts organization, UFC president Dana White has long been a boxing fanatic, even operating his own boxing aerobics classes before mogul-ing it up with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
Following the Mayweather-Merchant blowout, White didn't hold back any punches about how he felt the veteran boxing commentator handled the situation.
"…Merchant gets in there—this babbling, senile, insane idiot. This guy has been around for way too long, he gets on there again and just embarrasses HBO," the UFC exec began.
"Dude, you're 107 years old. You have no business being on television anymore."
Needless to say, White's comments toward the 80-year-old (not 107) Merchant did not go unnoticed by the HBO representative, who complimented White on his endeavors by becoming a financially successful man thanks to his exploitation of this "Fight Club-esque" sport.
"Anyone who can make a multimillion dollar business out of street fighting has to be respected," Merchant said when he spoke with BoxingScene.com.
"My opinion is that anyone is allowed to put up a tent, put on a show and invite people to come. And obviously he's had a lot of success. Good for him.
"I don't watch it. I don't get a so-called sport in which you can have a 6-2 record and be called a world champion. I just don't appreciate the finer points of MMA."
Source: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/868545-hbos-larry-merchant-responds-to-ufc-president-dana-white
Stay tuned for White's response. He won't let this transgression go on without retort.

US Department of Labor: Spring Regulatory Agenda 2010
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
Topic: MSHA'S Rules to Live By Program
MSHA's Rules to Live by Program is a fatality prevention program designed to prevent deaths and serious accidents in America's mines. This new initiative reflects MSHA's commitment to eliminate hazards with the most serious consequences, targeting prevention of conditions that cause or contribute to fatal accidents in mining.
- From 2000 through 2008, 589 miners lost their lives at work. MSHA evaluated these deaths and identified the conditions and practices that contributed to the 589 deaths, and the safety standards that were violated.
- The MSHA analysis identified 24 standards (13 in metal and nonmetal mining and 11 in coal mining) frequently cited in fatal accident investigations in 9 accident categories.
- Violations of 11 coal safety standards accounted for 140 (47%) of the 300 fatalities in coal mining and 13 metal and nonmetal safety standards accounted for 126 (44%) of 289 fatalities in metal and nonmetal mining.
Focus of the Rules to Live By program
- The focus is on the 24 frequently cited standards, whose violations have caused or contributed to nearly half the fatal accidents in the mining industry since 2000.
- MSHA implemented the first phase of industry outreach and education followed by the second phase of enhanced enforcement.
Nine Accident Categories
- Falls from Elevation
- Falls of Roof and Rib
- Operating Mobile Equipment (Surface)
- Operating Mobile Equipment (Underground)
- Maintenance
- Lock-Out and Tag-Out
- Struck by Mobile Equipment (Surface)
- Struck by Mobile Equipment (Underground)
- Blocking Against Motion
Key elements of the enhanced enforcement phase of Rules to Live By
- MSHA's enhanced enforcement, rolled out on March 15, 2010, focuses on compliance with the 13 metal and nonmetal safety standards and 11 coal safety standards that were frequently cited during fatal accident investigations.
- Enhanced enforcement for the priority standards of concern consist of three elements:
- increasing vigilance for violations,
- ensuring that any enforcement actions taken are appropriate to the seriousness of the violation, and
- ensuring that the proposed penalties promote compliance. All citations and orders issued against the 24 types of violations and conditions will be reviewed for possible Special Assessment.

Target marketing a deadly, addictive poison towards children is completely different than water or cap guns. For the record, I don't 100% agree with toy guns either. I think some of them are fine and depending on HOW kids play with them matters. Playing "cowboy" or super soakers is completely different than "I'm GOING TO KILL YOU! Bang bang! You're DEAD!!!" is not child play that I approve of or will allow around me or my kids. Would you support the sale of toys called "Serial killer" or an action figure "hero" of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. How about an "easy bake oven" type toy called "Meth Lab!"?
PS: I'm pro choice too AND support the legalization of weed (mind blown)
Thats your problem right there. You cannot have this argument then get defensive when someone "to me's" their feelings on guns or airport security. For some, losing that little bit of freedom is worth it. Target marketing has always been here. Sugar kills more kids than cigs, but yet it's all good. Bubble gum is legal. AR15s are legal. A shopkeep has the right to sell whatever legal substance he wants and it is YOUR responsibility as the parent to buy/not buy them whatever you see fit, not the governments. Just like those idiots that cried Joe Camel was teaching kids to smoke, Ronald Mcdonald was teaching kids to eat crap by giving them toys, all the while, the parental responsibility was basically reduced to zero. I hate alcohol. You know what business I am in. I see people become disgusting, dangerous, etc. If I was in power, I would make public intoxication a federal offense with a 15 year term...but thats ME. I can't stand it. I hate people that get drunk. I don't drink at all. However, I am not going to take the right of a shopkeep to sell it.

With its combination of friction-free motion and wholesome fun, roller skating quickly replaced ditch digging and dancing frenetically to "Shipoopi" as America's favorite first-date activity. Rediscover the appeal of the wheels with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $19.99 for 5 roller-skating sessions with skate rental and 5 Icee slushies or fountain drinks (a $55 value)
- $35.99 for 10 roller-skating sessions with skate rental and 10 Icee slushies or fountain drinks (a $110 value)

Everett Skate Deck
Everett Skate Deck entertains visitors with more than just a polished floor to skate across. Parents can catch the game on the center's large-screen TV while children scamper around cushioned obstacles on Everett's inflatable play structure. Arcade games challenge players to conquer difficult levels in between sips of slushies bought from the onsite snack shop or melted off a passing glacier. But when the live DJ spins their favorite songs, roller skaters and inline skaters are free to strap on a set of rental wheels and glide across the center's rink beneath a disco ball and beams of colored lights flashing off the walls.

Submitted to: National Cotton Council Beltwide Cotton Conference

Publication Acceptance Date: 1/11/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Optimal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production practices need to be developed for buried microirrigation systems in the southeast USA. The objective of the research was to evaluate buried tube spacing and N fertilizer management. In 1991 through 1994, cotton was grown over buried tubes placed under every row, placed in the center of alternate midrows, or without irrigation. Nitrogen treatments, applied through the tubing, were one sidedress application of 100 lb/ac, 10 or 20 lb/ac applied as needed based on GOSSYM-COMAX predictions, and five weekly 20 lb/ac applications. Leaf N, petiole N03-N, and leaf water potential were monitored during July and August each year. Differences occurred between rainfed and irrigated cotton for leaf water potential, leaf blade N, and petiole N03-N, but the two buried tubing placements generally did not differ. None of the nitrogen treatments resulted in N deficiency in any year. Irrigation increased lint yield by 19% in 1992 and 62% in 1993. In 1991 and 1994, yields of the irrigated and rainfed cotton did not differ. Tubing placement did not affect cotton yield. Nitrogen application did not impact yield in any year of the study. A wider tubing spacing than in-row placement is adequate to supply water and N to cotton.

I can see a team giving him 4-5 million easy. not in this market. teams just aren't paying much for any position with the exception of maybe WR and TE. the market is flooded with very little seperation in levels of talent and teams have very little to pay. other years he might have gotten that, but not this year. it's just not going to happen. the deal he's getting offered here is about as good as it's going to get from any team.
