While Congress squabbles over President Obama's American Jobs Act bill, Californians are suffering.
The $447 billion proposal emphasizes two major components: new jobs and tax cuts. For Californians, nothing is more necessary to move the state out of its malaise than jobs.
Unemployment in California is 12.1 percent, the second highest in the nation next to Nevada.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Among the provisions in the president's proposal are funds for teachers and infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, and rail construction.
For public education, the bill provides $3.2 billion, which would translate to 37,300 jobs.
With respect to infrastructure, the bill includes $4.0 billion equating to 51,500 jobs.
Together, the $7.2 billion and 88,800 jobs from these two areas of the 135 page bill alone would reduce California's unemployment by about one-half percent.
That doesn't end the state's economic woes, but it would certainly help a lot of families, not to mention the state's coffers because of reduced funding for unemployment and the panoply of other social services.
So, why doesn't Congress pass the bill?
The biggest concern comes from the Republican-led House of Representatives, whose leaders do not want to add to the nation's already high debt with more spending. In fact, they want to cut domestic spending.
For his part, President Obama has offered to offset the additional spending through taxes on the wealthy and elimination of corporate loopholes.
That stalemate leaves Congress in suspended animation, a condition that seems commonplace these days.
What happens from here is anyone's guess. But we do know this much: in Blue California, the 2012 elections will be a referendum not only on President Barack Obama but also those in Congress, including the House where all 435 members will have to account for their actions.
Given the condition of California's economy and the attractiveness of the president's proposal, it may not be so easy for California's Republican House members to justify their positions as fiscally responsible.
Sometimes, food on the table and payment of the mortgage become more important than balancing a budget. To the extent that this is one of those moments, all of California's members of Congress have a lot to think about.

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Using TMC278LA

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an experimental HIV-prevention strategy using antiretroviral (ARV) agents to protect HIV negative individuals from HIV infection.TMC278 is a new drug being developed for this type of HIV treatment. It is hoped that this drug may be used to help prevent HIV transmission in future. A 'long acting' formulation of TMC278 has been developed. Long acting means that the drug will be present in the blood for longer. It is this formulation of the drug that will be investigated in this study. Subjects will receive the drug by injection.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of the drug and how well it is tolerated by the body. The study will look at the levels of the study drug in the subjects blood over the duration of the study.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: TMC278LA
|Phase 1 Phase 2
While for certain diseases, the use of medications by healthy people has been proven to function as prophylaxis, i.e. malaria, it is still unknown whether PrEP can help prevent HIV infection from exposure during sex or injection-drug use.
To address whether PrEP is safe and effective for use in humans, the traditional sequence of drug development steps should be followed as closely as possible.
TMC278 (rilpivirine) is a new investigational non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) discovered and in development by Tibotec, a division of Johnson & Johnson. Data from clinical development (Phase IIB) suggest that TMC278 has a similar efficacy and better side-effect profile as compared to other, older, NNRTIs, such as efavirenz. Like TMC125 (etravirine), TMC278 is a diarylpyrimidine (DAPY - a class of molecule that resembles the pyrimidine nucleotides found in DNA, and which have shown potency in inhibiting the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase).
Tibotec is currently investigating TMC278 in two formulations: an oral formulation for HIV treatment and, in early phase, a long acting (LA) injectable formulation for HIV treatment. The latter has also potential application for HIV transmission prevention.
TMC278LA is an innovative drug formulation and its long apparent half life may allow administration of PrEP monthly rather than orally and daily, as for other ARV that are currently studied as PrEP agents.
Therefore, a phase I/II, open-label, prospective, single arm, pharmacokinetic clinical trial in 100 HIV negative subjects (50% of whom will have to be of self-identified African ancestry and 50% females, approximately) is to be conducted. The study will examine whether a monthly dose of TMC278LA not exceeding 600 mg i/m over a time period of approximately six months, with a loading regimen of the first two i/m injections separated by two weeks, is safe and well tolerated by HIV-negative subjects.
Investigation of drug pharmacokinetics in plasma and genital secretions will be also carried out in order to ensure optimal drug exposure during drug administration.
100 evaluable subjects will be enrolled, with approximately 50 of African ancestry, and 50 females. This will provide 50-subject-years of safety data in order to support a later large phase III global efficacy study.

BENNINGTON -- A woman named in an ongoing criminal investigation into an alleged prostitution ring claims to have been paid for sexual encounters with two local men, one of whom is a prominent local businessman who has been recently subjected to search warrants.
Kayla Foucher, 23, first named in an affidavit used by Bennington Police Detective Anthony Sylvestro to obtain a search warrant, told the Banner of "about eight" sexual encounters she had with Thomas Lyons, owner of Bennington Subaru.
Foucher told the Banner that Lyons communicated with her through a Yahoo email account using the name "Owen." She later learned that "Owen" was Lyons after seeing him in a television commercial for his car dealership about one month ago.
As many as nine men
Foucher said as many as nine men solicited women involved in the alleged prostitution ring.
Sylvestro, the lead investigator in the case, confirmed Tuesday that Foucher's information was consistent with what she had told police in several interviews. He said, however, that he could not confirm how many men may have solicited sex from Foucher or others.
"I have no idea as of right now. I just don't know," Sylvestro said.
According to Foucher, she would meet Lyons on the street and the alleged sexual encounters took place in a vehicle. The alleged encounters were set up by another man through Facebook, she said.
Every encounter involved Lyons receiving oral sex, for which Foucher said she was paid $50 each time. Another woman was present at least once but did not participate, Foucher said.
"When I met Tom Lyons I was prostituting. He had told me that his name was Owen," Foucher said. "I didn't meet him as Tom Lyons. I had no idea he was Tom Lyons. That's how I met him. He was the one that was pretty much a regular for me."
Lyons did not pursue intercourse, according to Foucher.
Foucher described herself as "a junkie" when the alleged sexual encounters occurred last year, but is now clean and no longer using drugs. She said she did not consider potential consequences at the time.
"I didn't know what to do or think. I was so caught up in the money and the drugs that you don't think about anything like that. You believe what they tell you," she said.
Foucher said she does not consider herself a prostitute as a result of the very brief period of her life that she described.
"I guess in a way I was. But somebody who does that for a month should not consider themselves that," she said.
A police affidavit indicates that Foucher has told police of at least four other women potentially involved in the alleged prostitution ring. One female, identified only by her initials, is just 17 years old.
Also listed in the redacted document is G.B., and two women both named Danielle. Their ages are unknown.
Foucher told the Banner she also had sexual encounters with Preston Foster, 50, owner of Foster's Cannery on Benmont Avenue. Foster pleaded not guilty last month to a felony charge that he solicited a prostitute. Court records allege that Foster provided Foucher with crack cocaine in exchange for sex.
A prosecutor said during a bail hearing last week that Foster was not just a client, but also was involved in the business of prostitution.
Sylvestro said he does not know of any personal relationship between Lyons and Foster.
The investigation into the alleged prostitution ring, which began to include Lyons about six weeks ago, according to police, is ongoing. Police have declined to offer details of the investigation, but have corroborated information obtained by the Banner from other sources.
It remains unclear if or when any criminal charges will be filed related to the investigation, Sylvestro said. Police are awaiting additional forensic evidence, he said.
Contacted Tuesday evening, Lyons' attorney, David Silver, with the Bennington firm Barr, Sternberg, Moss, Lawrence & Silver, said Lyons would have no comment on Foucher's allegations.
"As painful as it is for Tom to remain silent in the face of the Banner's reporting of rumors, speculation and unproven allegations, upon my advice, he is not going to make a comment because it would be inappropriate and wrong for him to make a public comment when there is an ongoing investigation with which he is fully cooperating. Just as it is inappropriate and wrong for any town official or police officer to make a public comment on any ongoing criminal investigation," Silver said.
Silver also said it is "unfortunate" and "unfair" that "the Banner feels compelled to print whatever they can get their hands on in this tawdry and unseemly story instead of waiting for the investigation to be complete."
A Facebook account under the name "Jason Balsh," whom police believe to be a fictitious character, according to one source, appears to be a central point of the alleged ring. Sylvestro said Tuesday that police are looking into the possibility that Lyons has portrayed himself online as Balsh.
Balsh's Facebook account listed 279 friends last week, all of whom appear to be young women. As of Tuesday afternoon, his friends count had dropped to 265 people following an article that appeared in the Banner on Feb. 2.
Foucher said she met Lyons through Balsh. She said she and Balsh were introduced on Facebook by Foucher's friend, Jennifer Onorato, who is also connected to Balsh in court documents.
Police have served at least four search warrants as part of the investigation. Two were served at Lyons' Old Bennington home and Bennington car dealership on Jan. 21. Property was removed from both sites, according to police.
A third search warrant targeting Onorato was served on Jan. 23, during which police seized her cell phone.
The Banner requested copies of all three warrants from Bennington Superior Court Criminal Division. Judge Cortland T. Corsones has sealed the warrants targeting Lyons and allowed partial access to the one targeting Onorato.
Corsones also sealed his order, meaning the public does will not know why Corsones is denying public access to the records targeting Lyons. The Banner has appealed the judge's decision, though a hearing has yet to be scheduled.
A fourth search warrant was obtained by Sylvestro on Nov. 14 for the Facebook account of Jason Balsh. Facebook provided Sylvestro with access to the account in December. The Banner has also requested copies of that warrant and all related materials. A hearing on the Banner's request will be scheduled by the court, according to a court official.
The partially redacted affidavit targeting Onorato that was released to the Banner by the court includes the text of a July 2012 Facebook chat between Balsh and Onorato, a 31-year-old Bennington resident. In the online conversation Onorato told Balsh that Foucher was willing to "work" for him. During the course of that conversation, Onorato also offered to work for Balsh "if the price is right."
Onorato, in a brief telephone interview last week, denied ever having sex for money or making money from others having sex.

I found this blog post to be very well written and concise.
To understand the effects of religion on a wider scale, it's absurd to think that reading a holy book would indicate anything beyond a peripheral understanding of the text itself. For behavioural effects, it's best to look at neuroscience and psychology. For societal effects, there's sociology and history. Being an accomplished theologian won't teach anyone about the influence of religion on society, but the social sciences will and that's the place to look to.
Now consider the parallel with something I actually do care about: gaming. One might ask the question "what are the wider effects of gaming on the individual and their role in the community?" Now if there was a study that showed a trend of violence among gamers, would it be more pertinent to question the controlling factors of the study or whether the psychologist in charge had ever beaten Quake on Nightmare difficulty? If there was a sociological study showing anti-social behaviour increasing among online gamers, would the controlling factors of the study be under question or whether the sociologist's World of Warcraft character had reached level 80?
The parallel with gaming is there to show that knowing the content of a subject is not an adequate resource to deal with questions not relating to that content. Knowing the back-story of Zelda universe does not make that person any bit qualified to answer questions on behaviour associated with playing the game. Theology won't answer questions of individual behaviour, it won't answer question of the wider social effects of group behaviour and how that has happened throughout history. The best way to study the inquisition is to look at the historical evidence, not the bible.
This really is to what this argument boils down. There is often an attempt to discredit anyone who dare suggest the idea of a concerned or even aloof creator is a faulty one. No, it isn't good enough to say that the notion of a god doesn't hold up very strongly under scrutiny; it is necessary that we fully understand the specifics of what man has written concerning this notion.
What does reading the bible actually tell us? It's like any other piece of literature, it has a message that the author(s) intended. Those who are adept at literary analysis would see even further into the book and be able to understand the authors themselves. But for the layman, the bible is a chance to get immersed in the world of the mythology. They are able to emotionally connect with the characters involved and try to understand the motivations associated therein. In essence studying theology has the academic scholarship of studying Lord Of The Rings.
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a masterpiece in the fantasy genre, it's influence today is seen transcending literary fantasy and into the pop culture. Admittedly the adaption to the silver screen helped bring it into the consciousness of an otherwise ignorant mainstream, but it's success still speaks volumes for it's quality. It doesn't stop there either, the appendices, and further books all bring Middle Earth to life and give it a complete mythology.
I personally would have chosen All Quiet on the Western Front, but to each his own. Even if it's the great literary work that is the Bible.

The mission of the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener program is "Helping others learn to grow." As defined by the University of Illinois Extension Service, master gardeners are volunteers trained by University of Illinois Extension educators to provide a network of gardening programs and horticultural activities to educate the public and enhance life in their communities. The volunteer service they provide is vital to the Chicago Botanic Garden and to the community.
In conjunction with the University of Illinois Extension Service, the Garden offers the Master Gardener Training Program, a ten-week on-site training program that begins in mid-January and is offered every other year, with the next on-site training program scheduled for 2021. It covers the basics of horticulture, including classes on woody and herbaceous ornamental plant materials, fruit and vegetable crops, entomology, and pathology. A fee is charged for the training and includes a training manual.
Training consists of daytime classes once a week for ten weeks. Upon successful completion of the core training and passing the final exam, participants will then become master gardener interns. An intern must fulfill a 60-hour volunteer commitment in order to become a certified University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener.
Applying to the program
There are no prerequisites other than some knowledge or experience in gardening or land management (expertise is not required) and a willingness to learn about horticulture, and to share that knowledge with others. Participants must also commit to fulfilling the volunteer component of the program. Applicants are asked for a preferred volunteer area. Interviews with staff representatives ensure a good match of qualifications and schedule to a volunteer area.
Our next training session will begin in January 2021. If you would like to be notified when information for the next program is available, please click here.

The FAD Calibration study is designed to determine how exercise, either dry or immersed, affects the minimum safe waiting period before flying after diving.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with an increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS), but there is no consensus among experts whether and how divers with PFO should be treated. Currently divers with PFO who choose to continue diving but want to reduce their risk of DCS have two options: undergo PFO closure or dive more conservatively. The study question is: Are divers with PFO who underwent the closure procedure better off than divers with PFO who continue diving without the closure?
Sudafed is an over-the-counter drug used extensively among divers to enhance ear equalization during a dive. This study investigates whether Sudafed increases the risk of oxygen toxicity in an animal model.
The expected growth of new participants in technical diving may result in more accidents and fatalities. This study analyzes various aspects of safety including, but not limited to, decompression safety, physical fitness requirements and cardiovascular effects of extreme diving. The purpose of the study is to explore the stress of extreme dive exposures on divers and the requirements for participation.
This project includes monitoring of diving incidents, injuries and fatalities in air, nitrox and mixed-gas diving. Data has been collected from participants or witnesses of mishaps who may report online, from first responders, medical providers and investigative agencies. DAN compiles case reports and includes data from these reports in DAN's Annual Diving Report.
The growing popularity of breath-hold diving led to the creation of the breath-hold incident database in 2005. Both fatal and nonfatal cases are collected to identify risks and aid in public education. DAN compiles case reports and includes data from these reports in DAN's Annual Diving Report.
Every three years the average age of recreational divers (i.e. DAN Members) increases by one year, and they have more chronic diseases than in the past. The purpose of the DAN Member Health Survey is to establish the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes and asthma, access to primary health care and the diving practices of DAN Members. The results of the study will help the diving community decide about preventive measures for injuries and fatalities and will help DAN to focus its research and education efforts.
DAN has obtained data from the U.S. Navy, Duke University, Project Dive Exploration (including DAN Europe's Dive Safety Lab) and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology. Data are being converted to a format that will be used as a reference database for calibration and evaluation of decompression algorithms. Divers using one of many compatible dive computers may contribute their electronic dive log data to PDE.
Physical fitness is an important but poorly documented factor in diver performance. Investigations will assess the physical fitness of divers and the physical fitness required for typical tasks completed by divers.
DAN Research is studying the effectiveness of oxygen as first aid for diving emergencies. Cards for reporting emergency oxygen use may be downloaded for submission to DAN.
DAN collects data on diving fatalities of recreational divers in the United States, Canada and diving destinations frequented by U.S. and Canadian divers. DAN compiles case reports and includes the data in DAN's Annual Diving Report.

Seesam Life Insurance announced on Oct. 25 that it is ready to assume management of all 10,000 life insurance policies issued by Polaris Life Insurance, declared bankrupt on Oct. 22. Its life insurance policies are worth 35 million kroons ($2.43 million).
Seesam Life Insurance, a subsidiary of the Finnish insurance company Pohjola, presently owns 5.4 percent of the Estonian life insurance market while Polaris Life has a 10.2 percent share.
Seesam's management believes that most of Polaris Life's clients are willing to come over to Seesam Life, because otherwise, they may lose their funds in Polaris Life.
"Registration of Polaris Life policies starts at the beginning of December and should be finished by the end of next year," said Taivo Saar, chairman of Seesam Life Insurance.
According to its product and risk manager, Erki Kilu, Seesam Life has set three main conditions which the clients of Polaris Life should accept. First, all clients will receive a 3.5 percent interest instead of the 7 percent promised by Polaris Life.
"Taking into account the present economic situation, it was a big and unrealistic promise," said Kilu.
The second condition is that Seesam Life will not pay out the reserves of Polaris Life policies during the next five years. The third condition says that in case of accidents and death, the client's reserves will be paid out fully.
"We are taking over the obligations of Polaris Life and receive no real assets with them," said Kilu. Polaris Life has a total of 37 million kroons in obligations and 4.5 million to 5 million kroons in assets.
According to the Baltic News Service, the company's owner Andrus Bergmann took out more than 34 million kroons from Polaris Life and 25 million kroons from Polaris Insurance during its half-year trouble period.
The insurance contracts of Polaris Insurance have been already taken over by the biggest insurance company in Estonia, Sampo Insurance. Together with Sampo, which started life assurance business recently, there are nine life insurance companies in Estonia. The biggest life insurance company is Hansapank, which gives more than half of the turnover of the life assurance market. Seesam Life is the biggest pension insurance supplier.
Seesam Life Insurance belongs to the Pohjola Group (70 percent) and Seesam International Insurance Group (30 percent), and all Seesam's contracts are re-insured by one of the world's largest life insurance companies, Swiss-Re, as a guarantee of solvency.

What Time Should You Exercise?
Exercise physiologists have found some differences between athletic performance in the morning and later in the day. Many of these differences are attributed to the body's circadian rhythms—24-hour cycles that control physical and behavioral factors such as sleep, mood, metabolism, and body temperature. These cycles are driven by signals from the brain and other organs in the body.
Improving Fitness and Mood
If you are looking to improve your fitness, lose weight, enhance your mood, and/or just have fun, the best time to exercise is the time that you will consistently do it. The differences measured in research labs will likely have little bearing on your enjoyment and fitness level. In fact, researchers who looked at decreased anxiety and improved mood found that exercise at any time of day was equally as effective.
Shaving Seconds
For more competitive athletes, the time of day you do your most vigorous workouts does appear to have an effect. Researchers believe that workouts are most productive when body temperature is at its highest in the late afternoon. Body temperature is at its lowest 1-3 hours before waking up in the morning, and gradually increases throughout the day. This increase is small—only about 1-2 degrees—but appears to be enough to boost muscle flexibility and strength.
Studies have shown that exercising in the late afternoon results in better performance and more power. Because your muscles are warm and more flexible, your perceived exertion is low, your reaction time is quicker, and your strength is at its peak.
In a study of runners, researchers investigated whether or not athletes were more easily tired during repeated exercise in the afternoon or the morning. They administered a repeated sprint test to athletes at different times of the day and found that the athletes experienced higher initial power output in the afternoon.
In another study of competitive cyclists, researchers found that power output values were higher in the evening than in the morning.
The Best Time for You
How does all this research relate to the average athletic person? If you do anaerobic or speed workouts, you will likely get more out of them if you do them in the afternoon. But for less strenuous workouts, the time of day has no effect on performance.
Therefore, the best time is:
- When you can fit it in—Strive for at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. People who exercise in the morning are typically more faithful to their exercise routine. Often as the day goes on, responsibilities increase, time passes, and exercise drops off the list.
- When your partner can do it—People who workout with a partner are more likely to stick with their routines. Knowing that someone is depending on you makes you more accountable. And having someone to talk to makes it more enjoyable.
- When you will be racing—If you are training for a marathon that starts at 7:00 am, begin all your long training runs at 7:00 to help your muscles become accustomed to exertion at that time of day.
- When you need an energy boost—Morning exercisers enjoy a jump start to their morning, while those who work up a sweat in the afternoon can avoid the post-lunch slump. Keep in mind that working out too close to bedtime can make it difficult to fall asleep.
- When weather permits—If you exercise outside, be careful in extreme weather. In the summer, exercise in the morning or evening to avoid the mid-day heat and humidity. In the winter, heed wind chill advisories.
You will reap many physical, emotional, and social benefits no matter what time you exercise. Find a time that works for you and make it a habit. Start every session with several minutes of warm-up—fast walking or jogging and light stretching—regardless of the time of day.

Vijay Mallya offers 3 kg gold to Tirupati temple
Vijay Mallya, the Chairman of United Breweries Group and Kingfisher, on Tuesday donated 3 kg gold to Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala.
Promoter of crisis-ridden Kingfisher Airlines and UB Group Chairman Vijay Mallya made an offering of gold bricks, weighing about three kg, at the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara on his 57th birthday on Tuesday.
Mallya donated the gold after offering worship and requested temple authorities to use it for gilding the doors at the sanctum sanctorum, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Deputy Executive Officer (temple) Chinnamgari Ramana told PTI.
The United Breweries chief, who arrived with his family last night, celebrated his birthday at a simple function held at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams guesthouse, Venkata Vijayam, donated by him 15 years ago, temple sources said.
In August, Mallya had offered Rs. 80 lakh gold-plated doors to the Kukke Subramanya temple, a place in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district visited by many a well-known personality looking for a turnaround in fortunes.
Kingfisher, which Mallya launched in 2005, was once India's second-largest airline by domestic market share, but is now in deep financial distress.
It has been grounded since October 1 following a strike by its pilots and engineers over non-payment of salary dues and its flying license has been suspended.
It is believed that Mallya made sure that every aircraft he bought, first flew to Tirupati and circled around the Lord Venkateshwara shrine before being deployed.

The Academy of the Visitation convent was located for 90 years on Park Ave., Centre and Howard Sts., at the site that later held a Greyhound Bus terminal. Opened in 1839, the convent's school educated daughters of prominent Maryland families of many faiths, including Boone, Carroll, Shriver, Tyson, Tilghman, Key, Semmes, Gittings, Griffith, O'Donnell, Rasin and Passano. The complex was noted for its five-story sanctuary, its bell which had come from a Spanish Dominican monastery, and its rose garden. The convent moved to Roland Park in 1927.
The Elkridge Hunt Club was formed in Howard County in 1878, taking its name from Elkridge Landing. About ten years later, the club moved to a site on North Charles St. in Baltimore Co. which was the former home of Governor Augustus Bradford. In 1895, the directors of the Elkridge Club were E.A. Jackson, Ross W. Whistler, D.B. Merryman, Alexander Brown, G.T. Hopkins, Jr., H.A. Parr, N. Winslow Williams, Samuel E. George, William M. Manly, William S.G. Williams, Thomas Deford, and Clinton P. Paine.
The estate known as Clifton was formerly the country home of Johns Hopkins, who bequeathed it as part of the Johns Hopkins University, although the school chose to establish the Homewood property as its campus. The Clifton house and property were sold to the city of Baltimore in 1894 at a cost of about $1000, becoming Clifton Park.

Initial grease fill
- SNL and SE housings have two holes that have been drilled and tapped for an AH 1/8-27 PTF grease fitting. On a new housing, the holes are covered by plastic plugs. These plugs should be replaced with the grease fitting and threaded plug supplied with the housing.
- If a larger grease fitting or other equipment has to be used, an adapter to change to a G 1/4 thread is available (Accessories).
- Dimples cast into the top of the housing cap indicate alternative positions where holes can be drilled and tapped to accommodate a grease fitting for bearing or seal relubrication.
The hole in a SE housing cap for relubrication through the centre of the bearing is positioned off-centre relative to the shaft axis (fig. 5).
When relubricating from the side, which is typically necessary for self-aligning ball bearings and CARB toroidal roller bearings, the offset hole in the housing should be used. An integrated flange in the housing guides grease from the grease fitting directly to the rolling elements (fig. 6). This grease guiding system is available on housings from sizes 216 and 516-613 upwards.
When bearings mounted on an adapter sleeve have to be relubricated from the side, the grease should be introduced from the side opposite the lock nut.
When bearings mounted at the end of a shaft have to be relubricated from the side, the grease should be applied at the point closest to the end cover.
When relubricating bearings from the side in housings with V-ring seals, mount an additional V-ring inside the housing on the side where grease is applied (fig. 7). This forces the grease to travel through the bearing and exit the housing on the opposite side.
SKF can supply an appropriate V-ring together with a splash plate that fits in the seal groove to cover a bit more than the top half of the housing. These sets are identified by the series designation ASNA followed by the housing size identification and the suffix V, e.g. ASNA 516 V.
When four-lip seals (TSN .. L) or felt seals (TSN .. C or FS 170) are used, grease cannot escape via the seals. If relubrication is required, the housing should have a grease escape hole.
SNL and SE housings can be supplied with a grease escape hole (designation suffix V). A grease escape hole can be drilled into the SNL housing using the dimensions provided in table 2.
For SE housings the grease escape hole is parallel to the shaft (fig. 8) for easier access after the housing is mounted. The hole is threaded and plugged.

Italian Actor Mario Pirovano to Debut Play for American Audience
WHAT: Actor Mario Pirovano, the premier interpreter of Nobel Prize-winner Dario Fo's plays, will conduct a workshop on the art of storytelling and perform the play, Francis, The Holy Jester at the University of Rochester. This is the first time that this play will be presented to an American audience.
TIME, DATE, PLACE: The workshop will take place from noon. until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct.10, in the Drama House on the Eastman Quadrangle of the University of Rochester's River Campus. Pirovano will conduct the first two hours of the workshop in English, and the third hour in Italian. The workshop is for both experienced and amateur thespians. The play will be performed in the sanctuary of the Interfaith Chapel at 7:30 p.m. on the same day. Both events are located on the River Campus, and are free and open to the public.
WHO: Mario Pirovano is an Italian actor and translator. He has been a long-time collaborator with Dario Fo, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997. Pirovano's visit is part of this year's programming for The Humanities Project, a UR interdepartmental endeavor to designed to support work from Rochester faculty in all areas of humanistic inquiry.
According to the Nobel Prize awarding committee, Dario Fo "emulates the jesters in the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden." Pirovano will perform Fo's play, Francis, the Holy Jester, an unconventional and provocative portrait of Francis of Assisi.
Pirovano will be available for a book-signing after the play. For additional information or to register for the workshop, email Donatella Stocchi-Perucchio at firstname.lastname@example.com.

advocate.com has a brief gallery of safe sex posters though the years. From the article:
The public awareness campaigns surrounding HIV/AIDS have been a staple of urban billboards, bus shelters, and LGBT magazines for decades. The messages promoting prevention and testing have taken every possible tack. But which message works best?
Do the menacing ads promote stigma? Do the ads with muscled, smiling men reduce the urgency of testing? The images' transformations over the years tell the story of developing priorities and innovative strategies, and a growing awareness that HIV doesn't discriminate.

Does anybody know what the name of the music is that playing in most of the battles now? You heard it when konoha was under attack, the Oro and Hokage battle and in ep 93 when Tsunade starts her attack, not sure wether it replaced the raising fighting spirit....

There is also some getiko_getki(from forest of death when sasuke fights orochimaru) though it may actually be called "strong and strike" and "turn over" in there....

Oh me oh my. This thread is the directory which you should read before posting, just as the topic says. Too hard? And if you really did search, you probably made a typo since I found plenty of results simply by using "music" as one word. Look if you don't believe me. And the seventh thread (well, it would've been the sixth thread if this thread didn't exist) is this

I was wondering about the song that plays in episode 92 after Kabuto interrupts Tsunade and Orochimaru. I can't find it on either the first or second OST, and I was wondering if I had simply missed it, or if it had yet to be put on a cd. Thank you in advance to whomever answers.

Submission of information to the Special Procedures
To carry out her work, the Special Rapporteur relies heavily on information from indigenous peoples, their organizations and NGOs. The Special Rapporteur encourages these sources to submit information that relates to her mandate from the Human Rights Council, which is to promote the human rights of indigenous peoples and address specific situations in which their rights are being violated. This information may be about positive developments, studies or conferences of interest, new initiatives, or problem situations.
The Special Rapporteur is authorized to act on credible information alleging human rights violations of indigenous peoples. No formal requirements exist for submitting information to the Special Rapporteur on alleged violations. Neither exhaustion of domestic remedies nor a detailed legal argument about the case is required. Any person, group or organization can send information to the Special Rapporteur irrespective of the relationship with the victim(s) of the alleged violation.
The identity of an alleged victim will be included in the communications sent to the State concerned. The explicit consent of the victim is therefore necessary.
Information submitted to the Special Rapporteur on alleged violations should include a detailed description of the circumstances of the case. It should be precise and as brief as possible (1-2 pages may suffice) while providing a complete statement of the situation, and may be accompanied by annexes providing written or graphic evidence of the facts.
The information should include, where applicable:
When and Where: Date, time and precise location of the incident (Country, region, municipality)
Victim(s) or Community Affected: Name, number and full details on the location of the indigenous peoples, community or individual(s) whose rights allegedly have been violated or are under threat.
What happened: Detailed circumstances of the alleged violation. If an initial event leads to others, please describe them chronologically. In cases of general measures, such as national legislation or policies, indicate their stage of development and how indigenous peoples have or will be affected by them.
Perpetrator(s): Detailed information on the person(s) or institution(s) responsible for the violation and their relation, if any, to the Government concerned. If circumstances require, provide an explanation of the reasons for suspecting responsibility of the person(s) or institution(s) identified.
Action taken by State authorities: If applicable, what actions have been taken by the relevant authorities to remedy the situation? Has the matter been reported to the administrative or judicial authorities of the State concerned? Note that exhaustion of domestic remedies is not a requirement. This information merely aids the Special Rapporteur in understanding the allegation and developing an appropriate response.
Action taken before international bodies: Has any action been initiated before other international or regional human rights mechanisms? If so, at what stage are these other international actions?
Source: Name and full address of the indigenous people, organization or individual(s) submitting the information. These contact details are essential in the event the Special Rapporteur needs clarification or further information on the case. This information is kept confidential, unless the source authorizes otherwise.
Anyone who wishes to submit information to the Special Rapporteur may do so in one of the following ways:
Email (preferred method): firstname.lastname@example.com include "Communication regarding [country or indigenous peoples]" in the Subject Line
Mail:Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoplesc/o OHCHR-UNOGOffice of the High Commissioner for Human RightsPalais Wilson1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland

This is my personal journal.
I just want to mention an old interview i found about usability on e-learning, from Jacob Nielsen.
As some of you may already know, Oracle has move into the MySQL Market, buying its main transactional and strongest storage engine, INNODB: Oracle buys Innobase.
Would this movement affects open source database in a bad way? Do you think that it's a step from Oracle to destroy this engine in a near future? I don't think so. Oracle perhaps want to have the control over this engine to easily port MySQL applications to be under Oracle system.
ILIAS and Innodb. Perhaps it's a good time to evaluate a migration, though it is for sure a difficult step. ILIAS 4.0 would be a good appointment ;)

If Kyle Petty can get a competitive, full-time ride in the sports car series, and he's happy, then I'm all for it and wish him well.
I've criticized many Nascar changes over the last 10 years or so, but the TV caution lap idea is something I could really get behind. I hate the missed restarts and green flag commercials, especially toward the end of races. 20 extra minutes of race time is worth it to see all green flag racing. For the record, I don't think the races are too long, and the only exception would be if we had another 1970s fuel crises and had to cut 10% off the end of the races.

Aren't we already seeing commls during the race on the cars going around the track? (When we see them, ESPN). What we need are fewer comml breaks.
With the advent of the DVR, any personal breaks can be handled with the pause button. Once you're in FF mode, the commls just whiz by anyway.

I don't like the idea of extended cautions for commercials, TV should not impact the outcome of a race and extra caution laps impact fuel mileage which can change pit strategy, sooo....

Chacin hopes to take step forward by playing catch
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies pitcher Jhoulys Chacin said if his ailing right shoulder feels good Thursday, he will take a step forward in his rehab program by playing catch. He will still need to build strength to throw bullpen sessions, so his debut in game action is still uncertain.
Chacin said he wants to throw a bullpen session "as soon as I can, but it's not up to me." The Rockies would have to clear him, and the club refuses to rush him -- even if he misses a limited number of starts at the beginning of the season.
When Chacin arrived at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, his shoulder hurt whenever he attempted to graduate from throwing long toss.
In past winters, Chacin played in Venezuela, but he didn't this past year. In late January, he went to Sarasota, Fla., for workouts with former Major League pitcher Wilson Alvarez. Chacin did long toss but did not get on a mound. He attempted bullpen sessions at the Rockies' complex in the Dominican Republic before coming to camp, but he felt pain when playing catch.
Chacin has been shut down from all throwing, even long toss, since Feb. 23. He has spent the time between doing strengthening exercises.

So the missus and I had this friendly debate last night while watching the start of AI's Hollywood week.
Apparently Michael "Big Mike" Lynch, one of the people who made it through to advanced rounds on last night's taped episode, made it all the way to the top 24, but was abruptly kicked off the show weeks ago after Lynch's father told hometown newspaper The St. Petersburg Times how far Big Mike had made it.
Now, Big Mike and his wife recently welcomed their first child into the world. Big Mike, like a lot of AI contestants, was putting lots of his eggs into the contest's basket. But he was pretty level-headed in his attitude and didn't come across like the kind of guy who'd have nothing to fall back on if he failed at AI.
Still, AI producers had the contestants who made it that far, as well as their family members, sign non-disclosure agreements about what was happening with the show.
In spite of that, Papa Lynch told the local paper and got Big Mike booted.
Question: If you're Big Mike are you ticked off at dad?
If not, you are a saint - a real saint, not a Who Dat? Saint - and you may as well stop reading here.
If so though, just how far does your anger go?
I know it's just a "stupid" contest, but top-24 is pretty far along. Big Mike was probably just starting to catch a whiff of what success smells like when his dad pulled the rug out from under him.
So I'm thinking I might be too angry to speak to my pops for a while after that one.
Let me know.
