WASHINGTON — Taxes and government spending. Health care. Immigration. Financial regulation.
They are the issues that have dominated the political debate in recent years and have played a prominent role in this presidential campaign. But in many ways they have obscured what is arguably the nation's biggest challenge: breaking out of a decade of income stagnation that has afflicted the middle class and the poor and exacerbated inequality.
Many of the bedrock assumptions of American culture — about work, progress, fairness and optimism — are being shaken as successive generations worry about the prospect of declining living standards. No question, perhaps, is more central to the country's global standing than whether the economy will perform better on that score in the future than it has in the recent past.
The question has helped create a volatile period in American politics, with Democrats gaining large victories in 2006 and 2008, only to have Republicans return the favor in 2010. This year, economic anxiety, especially in industrial battlegrounds like Ohio, is driving the campaign strategies of both President Obama and Mitt Romney.
The causes of income stagnation are varied and lack the political simplicity of calls to bring down the deficit or avert another Wall Street meltdown. They cannot be quickly remedied through legislation from Washington. The biggest causes, according to interviews with economists over the last several months, are not the issues that dominate the political debate.
At the top of the list are the digital revolution, which has allowed machines to replace many forms of human labor, and the modern wave of globalization, which has allowed millions of low-wage workers around the world to begin competing with Americans.
Not much further down the list is education, probably the country's most diffuse, localized area of government policy. As skill levels have become even more important for prosperity, the United States has lost its once-large global lead in educational attainment.
Some of the disconnect between the economy's problems and the solutions offered by Washington stem from the nature of the current political debate. The presidential campaign has been more focused on Bain Capital and an "apology tour" than on the challenges created by globalization and automation.
But economists and other analysts also point to the scale of the problem. No other rich country — not Japan, not any nation in Europe — has figured out exactly how to respond to the challenges. "The whole notion of the American dream," said Frank Levy, an M.I.T. economist, "described a mass upward mobility that is just a lot harder to achieve right now."
For the first time since the Great Depression, median family income has fallen substantially over an entire decade. Income grew slowly through most of the last decade, except at the top of the distribution, before falling sharply when the financial crisis began.
By last year, family income was 8 percent lower than it had been 11 years earlier, at its peak in 2000, according to inflation-adjusted numbers from the Census Bureau. On average in 11-year periods in the decades just after World War II, inflation-adjusted median income rose by almost 30 percent.
Matching the growth rates of the postwar period — when the country was poorer, when harsh discrimination against women and minorities was receding and when the rest of the world was weaker — is probably impossible. Yet there is still a vast difference, both economically and politically, between incomes that are rising modestly and not at all.
Historically, periods of economic stagnation have tended to bring pessimism, political turmoil and a lack of social progress, said Benjamin Friedman, an economic historian and the author of "The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth." The political volatility and partisan rancor of the last several years seem to fit the pattern.
The recent stagnation has also led, economists say, to confusion and even scapegoating about the real sources of the problem. The causes that can seem obvious, and that often shape the political debate, are not necessarily the correct ones.
Take immigration, especially illegal immigration. Whatever other problems it may cause, evidence suggests that it has not played a significant role in the income slump.
It may have caused a slight decline in the wages of native-born workers without a high school diploma (and maybe not even that). But most illegal immigrants lack the skills to compete with the bulk of native workers, according to research by Giovanni Peri, Chad Sparber and others. Notably, incomes in some states with large immigrant populations, like California, have risen faster than in states with relatively few immigrants, like Ohio.
The minimum wage, similarly, appears to play only a minor role in the income slump. It has risen faster than inflation since 2000, even as overall pay at the bottom of the income distribution has not. And the size of the federal government also looks like a dog that is not barking: Washington collected taxes equal to 15.4 percent of gross domestic product last year, down from 20.6 percent in 2000.
A second group of much-cited forces have indeed played a role in middle-class stagnation and inequality, many economists argue, just not as big a role as automation, globalization or education.
Health care costs have grown sharply over the last decade, leaving employers with less cash to use on salaries. Labor unions have shrunk; all else equal, unionized workers earn more, often at the expense of corporate profits. Tax rates have fallen more for the affluent than for anyone else, directly increasing the take-home pay of top earners and indirectly giving them more incentive to earn large amounts.
But many of these factors are particular to the United States, while globalization and automation are obviously universal forces.
One of the more striking recent developments in economics has been economists' growing acceptance of the idea that globalization has held down pay for a large swath of workers. The public has long accepted the idea, but economists resisted it, pointing to the long-term benefits of trade. "That is starting to change only in the face of very strong evidence over the past decade," said Edward Alden of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In particular, job growth and wage growth have been weaker in sectors exposed to global competition — especially from China — than in sectors that are more insulated.
Automation creates similar patterns. Workers whose labor can be replaced by computers, be they in factories or stores, have paid a particularly steep price. The American manufacturing sector produces much more than it did in 1979, despite employing almost 40 percent fewer workers.
Workers with less advanced skills have also suffered disproportionately. The pay gap between college graduates and everyone else is near a record. Despite the long economic slump — and the well-chronicled struggles of some college graduates — their unemployment rate is just 4.1 percent.
What is the solution to this thicket of economic forces?
That question is the one that Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney are trying to convince voters that they can best answer. They both accept that the government and the market have a role, but they put a different emphasis on those roles.
It is hard to see how either globalization or automation can be stopped. The proposed solutions instead tend to involve managing them.
If the economy can be made to grow fast enough, incomes can still rise across the board, as they did when the unemployment rate fell below 5 percent in the 1990s and briefly below 4 percent in 2000. If educational attainment rises, more people will be able to get jobs that benefit from technology and global trade, rather than suffer from it. And if inequality continues to soar, the government could choose to use the tax code to ameliorate it — a solution that Democrats favor and Republicans say will hurt economic growth.
Maybe the biggest reason for optimism is that there is still a strong argument that both globalization and automation help the economy in the long run. This argument remains popular with economists: Trade allows countries to specialize in what they do best, while technology creates opportunities to extend and improve life that never before existed.
Previous periods of rapid economic change also created problems that seemed to be permanent but were not. Neither the cotton gin nor the steam engine nor the automobile created mass unemployment.
"When technology reduces the need for certain kinds of labor, we know that some inventive people will one day come along and find a way to use that freed-up labor making things that other people want to buy," said Mr. Friedman, the economic historian. "That's what in the long run made the Luddites wrong."
He added, "How long does it take the Luddites to be wrong — a few years, a decade, a couple of decades?"
Perhaps just as important, what happens to the workers who happen to be living during a time when the Luddite argument has some truth to it?

Yeti and "Cool Robot," the Rovers Tough Enough to Explore Greenland's Ice Sheet
Popular Mechanics
July 20, 2011
Robots have it rough up here at 10,580 feet on the Greenland ice sheet, 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The cold drains batteries. The human handlers push hard because their research season is measured in mere weeks. And for Yeti, which arrived here at Summit Station in the back of an LC-130H on July 15, life is destined to be dangerous. It's an autonomous robot whose main job will be to roll out ahead of heavy machinery, and use ground-penetrating radar to scout for dangerous crevasses in the ice.
Within two years, similar robots may deploy on lonely, cold missions to collect data for scientists to analyze from a distance. The Dartmouth team behind Yeti, led by engineering professor Laura Ray, has designed software to help the robot and a solar-powered cousin called Cool Robot work as versatile mules for varied sensor packages.

A few days ago, we got our first taste of "Snow White and the Huntsman," a gritty, "Lord of the Rings"-like take on the classic fairy tale starring Kristen Stewart as Snow White-by-way-of-Joan-of-Arc, Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") as the broad-shouldered woodsman, and Charlize Theron as a vampiric Evil Queen. It looked dark and violent and intense and we wondered how Tarsem Singh's ("Immortals") take - "Mirror, Mirror" - would match up.
Now we know. And if nothing else, at least Tarsem has decided to go in a VERY different direction with give his Snow White.
How different? How about "bubble gum-colored slapstick comedy musical" different?
U.S. & World
We get a hint of a Bollywood-esque dance sequence, stylized forests, and Julia Roberts as an Evil Queen who is less "youth-inhaling Succubus" and more "Real Housewife of Never Never Land." She's cartoonishly vain and petty. Not so much "evil" as "bitchy."
Oh, and there's a "Scarface"/"Say Hello to my little friend" joke involving the Dwarfs.So there you go.
Who knows which one will end up striking a chord with audiences, but if nothing else there are at least two very distinct flavors of Snow White coming your way.

Brisket with Ginger, Orange Peel, and Tomato
This recipe for Brisket with Ginger, Orange Peel, and Tomato from Joan Nathan's Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous is adapted from Daniel Rose, a Chicago chef who moved to Paris to open Spring Restaurant. While brisket isn't readily available in French butcher shops, this recipe pairs Rose's French technique and flavors with a decidedly American cut of meat.
Braising brisket with sweet elements is pretty typical Jewish holiday fare—my grandmother used to braise hers with a can of Coke and a bottle of chili sauce. But Rose's version is more elegant, with flavors that can almost be described as light (if you can ever call brisket light). The lemon and orange zest permeates the meat with bright citrus, the cider vinegar and white wine add a slightly sour note, and the ginger lends the tiniest kick. And like any brisket recipe worth its salt, it comes out of the oven exactly two and a half hours later fork-tender, ready to be sliced, sauced, and served with the sweet carrots that have been cooking in the braising liquid.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous to give away this week.

What's New On Serious Eats
- Yield:6 to 10
- One 3- to- 5- pound veal or beef brisket
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 12 small spring onions, trimmed and halved, or 2 medium onions, thickly sliced
- 6 carrots, peeled
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups veal, beef, or chicken stock

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Season the brisket with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Pour the oil into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the meat for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove, and set aside. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic cloves to the Dutch oven, cooking until they are just beginning to soften, adding more oil if necessary. Raise the heat, pour in the cider vinegar, and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits that have stuck to the pan. Add the white wine and continue stirring, allowing the liquid to reduce for a few minutes.
Put the meat back in the pot, along with the stock. Bring to a simmer, and add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, parsley sprigs, ginger, and leek top. Using a straight peeler, remove the zest in long strips from one of the lemons and one of the oranges. Add to the pot. Cover, and place in the oven for 45 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 275°F, and continue cooking for 2 to 2½ more hours, or until tender.
Remove the meat and vegetables from the pot. Discard the citrus peels, thyme and parsley sprigs, ginger, bay leaf, and leek top. If cooking in advance, let the pot cool, and refrigerate the brisket in the sauce.

Kahvliahvi Kokakool aka Kitchen Monkey's Cookery School
Here's a children's poem in Estonian, written by Heljo Mänd in 1960s, describing small elephant's Bumbu's birthday party in the jungle, where monkeys were eating wafers ("vahvel" in Estonian) and the crocodiles were eating forks ("kahvel" in Estonian). If you combine the monkeys and the forks of this poem, you'll get kahvliahvid aka kitchen/fork monkeys.
kära täis on džungel.
Sünnipäev on Bumbul,
pidulaual kringel.
Ahvid pistsid vahvleid,
krokodillid kahvleid.
limonaad on kange,
jookseb mööda lonti
justkui sada tonti.
Couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from a well-known journalist and party organiser, asking to give a cookery demo to a group of kids and their parents at a small music festival in a small Estonian town of Kilingi-Nõmme. The workshop, called Kahviahvi Kokakool ("Fork Monkey's Cooking School", or probably better translated as "Kitchen Monkeys"), was to have four cookery sessions/demonstrations, and I was asked to give one of them. I agreed - it was a chance to get out of town and listen to some nice music in fresh air before and after the cooking demo. We were discussing the possible menu options, taking into consideration what the other sessions were focusing on, and finally agreed I'd teach the kids and their parents (26 in total) how to make cold soups. Not your usual gazpacho, mind you, but a kefir and a buttermilk soup, respectively - one savoury, one sweet.
It's summer, after all! As it turned out to be a really hot on Saturday (the music festival and the culinary workshops took place on Saturday, July 7th), cold soups seemed to have been a wise choice indeed :)
My cold summer soup workshop was at 5.30 pm, third one of the afternoon:
I tied the apron strings and was ready to begin. Note the sweet monkey-fork/fork-monkey design:
The kids were all anxiously waiting and ready to start chopping:
We began with the savoury kefir soup. Basically we made this chlodnik, but adding beets/beetroots and grated horseradish was optional, and everybody added some cooked mortadella-style sausages as well, to make the soup a bit more substantial. I must admit that about 3/4th of the kids asked for both the beets and the horseradish, which made me very happy indeed :)
Small (and some slightly bigger) kitchen monkeys in action. Note the high concentration of fathers - at least four - who were accompaning their children:
My role was to make sure everyone has understood the instructions and are progressing nicely:
Cutting the sausages into small dice for the soup requires some serious focusing and concentration:
Me, making sure that everyone got some vitamin-rich green onions:
Here's a close-up of the cold kefir soup with scallions/green onions, finely chopped sausages, beets and cucumbers (you can only guess there's beetroot at present at this point, as the stirring of the soup was a serious and time-consuming job as well):
Once everyone had finished making and eating their cold kefir soup, it was time to start making the dessert. I had chosen the wonderfully summery Danish buttermilk and strawberry soup koldskål - you'll find the recipe here on Nami-Nami. We did use kama cereal balls instead of crushed biscuits/cookies, however.
The main component - local Estonian strawberries, which are at their peak just now:
Mint, destined as garnish of the cold buttermilk-strawberry soup (lemon balm works just as well)
Choosing the prettiest strawberries for the buttermilk-strawberry soup:
Here's our daughter (3 y 5 m) enjoying the buttermilk-strawberry soup she made all by herself:
Thank you, Merle Liivak, Kahvliahvi Kokakool & Schilling, for inviting me! I had a lovely day indeed :)

Thanks Pille for great demo :) It made me so happy to see my man and daughters preparing soups and afterwards eating it :) Only thing I am sorry is that my kids were among this small group who didnt want to get beetroot and horseradish into their soup:(

Aniitram, kas üritus on uhke või mina? ;) Aitäh igatahes!
Kirsike - well, they'll grow and discover beetroot and horseradish one day, I bet :)
Tanna - I was impressed as well. I was trying not to make it a kiddy-workshop - all the kids had knives and were allowed to choose themselves whatever they wanted into their soups, so it was serious business..

People who live sedentary lifestyles have a greater risk for a long list of chronic diseases, with a greater risk of mortality. When you incorporate consistent, moderate-intensity exercise into your life, you will measurably increase the quality and quantity of your life. Abundant scientific literature provides the evidence.
What's stopping you? No, seriously, what's stopping you?
Why don't you exercise? What are the obstacles? Take one week and keep a log. Increase your awareness around it. Solving the problem first requires identifying the problem. One of the principles of naturopathic medicine is tolle causam, or treat the cause. You can't treat the cause if you haven't identified the cause.
Creating a new habit is not easy, but it is possible. You have to make it a priority and it must be workable in your life. You have to enjoy it. You have to appreciate its benefits. For example, people who exercise sleep better, have more energy and weigh less. Would you buy that in a pill if you could?
Once you have identified your problem – too tired, no time, unhealthy snacking, too much beer, etc. – your next step is to find someone to help you. Clinical research shows people who are supported in their efforts to be more active have greater success and enjoyment. It can be your naturopathic doctor. It can be your pastor. It can be your dog. It could even be your iPod. It doesn't matter. You're gonna need some need help with this.
To start, commit to exercising every other day for a week. The intensity level of your exercise should exceed your ability to tell a long story to a friend. You want your heart and respiratory rate elevated.
Take stock after one week. How do you feel? How did you sleep? How was your energy? The answers to these questions may not be overwhelmingly positive at this point. Stay strong. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
Do the same the next week. Take stock at two weeks. How do you feel? How did you sleep? How was your energy? These answers should be more positive at this point.
Keep in mind that weight loss is only one outcome. We can be overly focused on weight loss, which will come eventually with changes in diet and lifestyle. Exercise will also lead to more energy, better sleep, a sense of wellness, decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, decreased risk for cancer and more. Research tells us you need to exercise 150 minutes each week for maximum disease prevention.
How long does it take to form a new habit? Sixty-six days, according to current psychological research. It may be less for you. It may be more. There's only one way to find out!
— Jamie Coroon, ND, naturopathic doctor and resident, Bastyr Center for Natural Health.

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion
Page added on September 28, 2010
What could Life After Oil possibly be like for our local area?
That's the question nearly 50 people in Los Angeles studied this past weekend at a one-day mini-conference hosted by Transition Los Angeles.
The event brought together people from all over the vast Los Angeles and Southern California areas. The event gained attention from established area environmental organizations including the Surfrider Foundation and LA EcoVillage. Many of the participants were newcomers to the ideas of the Transition movement.
Members of the Transition Los Angeles city hub core team and speakers bureau served as presenters and facilitators. The morning included an overview of the "triple crown" of problems (peak oil, climate change, and economic contraction), an explanation of the Transition approach, and some tips on Leadership for people who wished to start their own local Transition groups.
The afternoon sessions included a visioning segment and a series of Open Space discussions, including a session where participants and veterans gathered by geography to discuss next steps for their home neighborhoods. During the "gathering by geography" portion, one circle was created for initiators who were working solo in their local neighborhood, to gather with the L.A. area's original initiator and discuss how to begin the spark of Transition.
Throughout the day we utilized exercises and songs from Joanna Macy's websites. In the feedback session, participants admitted these segments pushed them out of their comfort zones, but in ways that many people very much appreciated.
The content of all the presentations was specifically oriented to the Transition action already ongoing in the greater Los Angeles area. Presenters' stories and images came almost entirely from our own local experience (although a brief segment on the history of the Transition movement in the UK, international network, & US was offered). Area-wide issues and examples of local events were very present throughout the day. Since Transition in the Los Angeles area is now unfolding in more than six local "pods" (local groups), each with widely varied circumstances, there was plenty of material for conference attendees to identify with. It was designed to help participants understand how they could join in.
Some of our goals for the mini-conference included helping participants feel they were joining a movement that was already in force rather than feeling alone; jump-starting Transition action across the wider area and bringing along those who were starting new pods; and encouraging new initiators to consider forming new local pods in untapped areas.
Even during the morning presentations, we were handing out "Transition tools" for people to use at home. The peak oil and climate change portion was done via a homemade Self-Teach. We used exercises straight out of Hopkins' Transition Handbook for the icebreakers. The visioning session revealed the techniques Transition Los Angeles has currently been using with audiences across the area.
We included lunch — homemade vegetarian salads which emphasized local ingredients. The site facilities allowed us able to serve on real china plates with cloth napkins, underscoring how we Walk the Talk. At lunchtime, participants could stroll in the community garden on the site, and many circles chose to take the breakout sessions outdoors.
Transition Los Angeles consciously designed the day with very low inputs, so that it would be feasible at extremely low tuition cost ($35). As a result, the event filled quickly. We were forced to close registration when the room capacity was filled, leaving many would-be participants unserved. We are already discussing repeating our home-made mini-conference format after the first of the year.

Baltimore housing agency pays $6.8M lead judgments
Official: Judgment affects vouchers for nearly 700 families
The Housing Authority of Baltimore City has paid more than $6.7 million to satisfy six outstanding lead paint judgments.
The authority announced Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the payments on Aug. 7 and housing officials said the checks were cut the next day.
"There was never a refusal to pay judgments. We spent a lot of time looking for a universal solution," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said.
Rawlings-Blake said the city is finally paying the judgments that were five and six years old.
Like the mayor, Housing Authority of Baltimore City Executive Director Paul Graziano said they never refused to pay. He said he wasn't authorized.
"The mayor couldn't authorize me. This was a Housing Authority issue. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was the only entity that could authorize payment," Graziano said.
Graziano said the authority, which provides housing for more than 25,000 very low income households, could not resolve all remaining claims in a global manner while continuing its mission.
"If a child is poisoned by lead it's at least $1 million in public money spend up front," said Ruth Ann Norton with the Coalition to End Child Lead Poisoning.
It seems that $6 million between six people is a lot, but Norton said it's not a lot for someone dealing with lifelong effects of lead poisoning.
"The overall lesson here is that when you do the right thing up front you don't have these large costs and we need to take them as a guiding light to say in the future, we'll make sure houses are safe for children so we don't have to pay damages," Norton said.
Graziano said the funds for the judgments came out of housing's budget and will impact the agency's ability to provide housing vouchers for some 700 families in need this year.
"We are now working with HUD so they will allow us to set up a self-insurance fund," Graziano said.
The attorney for the plaintiffs said he is disappointed it has taken so long and that if housing had been self-insured, as required by law, his clients would have been paid a long time ago.

D.C. rapper Wale kicked off this week's interview with The Breakfast Club by speaking on the recent controversy involving Complex magazine. While speaking on the incident, which involved the Maybach Music Group emcee threatening Complex staff, Wale revealed that he's not in the music industry for the money and therefore takes more issue with not being included on roundups like Complex's "50 Best Albums Of 2013" list.
He also questioned why he wasn't nominated for a Grammy award for The Gifted when a Kendrick Lamar song that appeared on the NBA 2K14 soundtrack and was a good kid, m.A.A.d city bonus track did receive a nomination.
"I don't care about the money, Joe. I like the sport, yo," Wale said. "I played sports my whole life. So, I like the competitive nature. You know what I'm saying? I like the sport of rhyming. I want to have quadruple entendres on certain records. And everybody to be rewinding 'em. And it be in the locker room or at the lunch table talking about 'You heard what he said?' That's what I care about…It's just a combination of things, but I'm in a place now where it's like I'm at bat trying again to do it."
Wale also spoke on meeting his grandfather for the first time while in Nigeria filming Revolt TV's Wale: I Am From documentary. While speaking on Nigeria, the D.C. spitter also addressed those who feel he'd be more successful if he was more vocal about his Nigerian roots.
"So, I met my grandfather for the first time. So, it was really intense," he said. "And I don't really show that side of myself. I like to keep my personal life away. Y'all get my emotional, but y'all don't really get the—y'all don't know who I'm dating…I use my real, Nigerian name. That's the first red flag of embracing it. You know what I'm saying? My first album I sampled a famous African record. Did a video for it. I've worked with Wizkid. I've worked with [Olamide]. I've worked with a lot of these people. Just because they not on the U.S. radar—I don't know if I need to go Lil Wayne on niggas and put the tattoo of a Nigerian scripture, Nigerian Yoruba scriptures on the side of my face so they can be like 'Yeah.' I don't know if I gotta come in wearing an agbada or something like that. But I do my best…That's like Drake walking around with a yamaka."
Towards the end of Wale's interview with The Breakfast Club, he revealed that friend and fellow rapper J. Cole is "more of a jerk" than he is and accepted the fact that he'll never be considered a media darling.
"People love Cole and Cole's a jerk, yo," Wale said. "That's one of my best friends though, but Cole is a jerk too. He's a jerk. He's more of a jerk than me. He's just quiet. He's quiet. He's light-skinned. I'm like black ass, D.C. loud…Let's just let it be known now that I'm not gonna be a media darling. I'm not gon' be Janelle Monae. You know what I'm saying? Janelle Monae talented as fuck. We can do the same amount of numbers, but she can get Good Morning America. A Saturday Night Live. She can get to sit on Letterman or something like that. We can do the same amount, but I ain't getting none of that. So, I've accepted it."
This week's interview comes one month after a recorded phone call between Wale and Complex magazine's Insanul Ahmed was released online. During the roughly three-minute long conversation, Wale threatened to visit the publication's office and "start knocking niggas the fuck out."
"Fuck you, dog. You know it's disrespect. I swear to God I'll come to that office and start knocking niggas the fuck out," the rapper said. "Y'all wanna see some ghetto ignorant shit? That's what y'all promote. That's the only thing y'all promote from niggas."

Space age transforms our knowledge about Mars
Mars has always held a fascination for us Earthlings. It is our immediate neighbour out from the Sun and the outermost of the hard, rocky terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt and the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn. Since the first telescope observations of Mars in the early 1600s, we have suspected that it is more Earth-like than any other planet.
Our desire to know it better has been driven by our need to learn more about our own planet and its place in the Solar System and by our fertile imaginations. Is Mars inhabited? Could it be a home for mankind in some distant future?
These and other questions have spurred scientists and engineers to meet the enormous challenge of sending a mission to Mars. A Mars-bound spacecraft must survive a six-month journey, approach Mars from just the right angle and at the right velocity to enter orbit, and then work well enough to return valuable observations. Some missions have failed, but the successes have more than repaid the effort and risk.
It is hard to believe, for example, that just 40 years ago, some serious observers still thought thick vegetation grew on Mars. That myth was finally dispelled only in the late 1960s when NASA's Mariner 6 and 7 spacecraft flew past the planet and sent back images of a barren, but fascinating, landscape. Since then, our knowledge about Mars has grown dramatically with every subsequent visit by a successful space mission. Just two or three decades of space-based observation produced more information and knowledge than earlier astronomers with Earth-bound telescopes could have imagined.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Ketorolac nasal spray is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain (eg, pain that occurs after an operation or other painful procedure) for a short time only. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which lessens pain and inflammation.
Ketorolac has side effects that can be very dangerous. The risk of having a serious side effect increases with the amount and the length of time it is used. Ketorolac should not be used for more than 5 days in a row. Before using this medicine, you should discuss with your doctor the benefits as well as the risks of using it.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of ketorolac nasal spray in the pediatric population. Use is not recommended in children younger than 2 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of ketorolac nasal spray in the elderly. However, because of this medicine's toxicity, it should be used with caution in the elderly, after less toxic alternatives have been considered or found ineffective. Recommended doses should not be exceeded, and the patient should be carefully monitored during treatment. In addition, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related heart, kidney, liver, or stomach or bowel problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving ketorolac nasal spray.
Studies in women breastfeeding have demonstrated harmful infant effects. An alternative to this medication should be prescribed or you should stop breastfeeding while using this medicine.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Use this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. Do not use it for more than 5 days in a row. The total number of days also includes any doses of ketorolac that may be given in a hospital or clinic setting. Using too much of this medicine increases the chance of side effects, especially in elderly patients.
This medicine should come with a Medication Guide and patient instructions. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
This medicine is only used in the nose. Do not breathe in (inhale) this medicine while spraying. Do not get any of it into your eyes. If it does get into the eyes, rinse them with water or saline right away and call your doctor.
Drink extra fluids while you are using this medicine. This will keep your kidneys working well and help prevent kidney problems.
To use:
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Keep the unopened bottle in the refrigerator. Protect it from light and freezing. Once opened, store the bottle at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Throw away any unused medicine 24 hours after you opened the bottle and used your first dose.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are using this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to use it.
Do not use any other form of ketorolac (eg, injection or tablets) or other NSAIDs, unless your doctor says it is okay. Some examples of NSAIDs are aspirin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, or naproxen (Advil®, Aleve®, Celebrex®, Ecotrin®, Motrin®, or Voltaren®). Also, you should not use this medicine together with pentoxifylline (Trental®) or probenecid (Benemid®).
Ketorolac may cause bleeding in your stomach or bowels. This problem can happen without warning signs. This is more likely if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past, you smoke or drink alcohol regularly, are over 60 years of age, are in poor health, or are using certain other medicines (such as steroids or a blood thinner). Call your doctor right away if you have bloody or black, tarry stools, severe stomach pain or heartburn, or vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds.
Ketorolac may increase your risk of having blood clots, heart attack, or stroke. This is more likely in people who already have heart disease. Call your doctor right away if you have chest pain or discomfort, an irregular or fast heartbeat, severe indigestion or heartburn, nausea, sweating, or troubled breathing with exertion.
Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, unusual tiredness or weakness, or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of a serious liver problem.
Some possible warning signs of serious side effects that can occur during treatment with this medicine may include black, tarry stools, decreased urination, severe stomach pain, skin rash, swelling of the face, fingers, feet, or lower legs, unusual bleeding or bruising, unusual weight gain, vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or yellow skin or eyes. Also, signs of serious heart problems could occur, such as chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeat, tightness in the chest, unusual flushing or warmth of the skin, weakness, or slurring of speech. Check with your doctor right away if you notice any of these warning signs.
This medicine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Although this is rare, it may occur more often in patients who are allergic to aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, or fainting. Other signs may include changes in color of the skin of the face, very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse, hive-like swellings on the skin, and puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes. If these effects occur, get emergency help at once.
Serious skin reactions can occur during treatment with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin, red skin lesions, severe acne or skin rash, sores or ulcers on the skin, or fever or chills while you are using this medicine.
It is important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before using this medicine. Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Do not use this medicine during the latter part of a pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Awwwww thanks, though I got to say that I'm still kind of new at this. You can thank ZeroEdge for inspiring me to start kitbashing myself. He has a decent guide on modding Gunpla for parts somewhere in his thread if you want to try it out. Also, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty - unlike others who have a nice bunch of equipment (dremils, spray paint, etc.), I'm stuck with good ol files and paintbrushes and people like them.RokuShinkiMaster wrote:WOW!

Curent TV reports "When a lab-monkey declares that President Obama wasn't born in America, he becomes Patient Zero for a new brand of fear-based news virus - Fearus Ignoramus. We watch as the virus goes ear-borne, spreading from Rush Limbaugh to CNN to the mainstream-media to the general public. America devolves into panic, convinced its President is an illegal alien anti-Christ."

A day after making the entire U.S. military swoon when she accepted a YouTube invitation to the Marine Corps Ball shot by Marine Sgt. Scott Moore, actress Mila Kunis continues her endearing publicity assault.
The 27 year-old actress appears with an ice coffee and little else on the cover of the new issue of "GQ," and the interview inside reveals her off-kilter take on Hollywood and her career.
"It's hard to be funny in general," says Kunis. "I think I have a good sense of humor, but I'm not, like, a joke-teller. I get the jokes, which is sometimes half the battle. Believe me, I have no idea why anyone hires me."
U.S. & World
The "Friends with Benefits" star got her start in comedy as a 14 year-old, landing a role in the long-running sitcom "That 70s Show." She also voices "Meg" on the hit animated comedy "Family Guy," and scored big laughs in films like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Extract."
Even with this solid funny-making foundation, she reveals that it's difficult for women to be, well, taken seriously at comedy - because prejudice and looks get in the way.
"You want the attention to go to the joke itself rather than be distracted by who's delivering it," she says. "But look at 'Bridesmaids.' That movie's full of beautiful women who are hysterical. I'm so proud of those ladies. You have no idea how hard it is for a woman in this business. A lot of people don't even think women are funny. It's f***ed-up, but you have to deal with guys like that."
She admits, too, that her own sense of humor is far from feminine.
"Put me at a table with five guys making d*** jokes and I will be right there with them. And, uh, I'm on 'Family Guy.' I've been on that show for so long that I don't get grossed out by anything."
Kunis, who recently broke up with longtime boyfriend Macauley Culkin, confirms her single status, and shows no plans of changing it any time soon.
"I wouldn't dare wish myself upon anybody at this point in my life! My shooting schedule is crazy. I'm a nomad till January."
"Friends with Benefits" opens everywhere July 22nd.

Lexington Medical Center Cardiac Rehabilitation Receives Prestigious Certification
AACVPR Recognizes Programs That Demonstrate Excellence in Care
Lexington Medical Center's cardiac rehabilitation programs have received prestigious certification from the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). The certification demonstrates that Lexington Medical Center's cardiac rehabilitation programs are aligned with current evidence-based medicine and guidelines for appropriate and effective outpatient care of patients with cardiac issues.
Lexington Medical Center offers cardiac rehabilitation at the main hospital campus in West Columbia and at Lexington Medical Center's community medical center in Lexington. Each facility received the certification through a separate application process.
The goals of cardiac rehabilitation are to help patients recover from cardiac events such as heart attack, stents or bypass surgery, and to help prevent another cardiac incident by developing healthy lifestyle habits through education and support.
"This national certification ensures that our cardiac rehabilitation programs provide all of the required components to assist patients in achieving these goals," said John Leech, manager of Cardiac Rehabilitation at Lexington Medical Center. "Cardiac Rehabilitation at Lexington Medical Center is a comprehensive program with education, motivation and support that leads to the best possible outcomes."
AACVPR-certified programs are awarded program certification after an extensive application process that details the program's structure, individualized care plans, staff competencies and outcomes measurement. Certified programs are recognized as leaders in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation because they offer the most advanced practices available.
There are three phases of cardiac rehabilitation at Lexington Medical Center. Phase 1 takes place while patients are still in the hospital after a recent cardiac event, surgery or procedure. It includes education on the anatomy of the heart, a description of their procedure or surgery and risk factors that lead to heart disease. Phase 2 is the outpatient program and it includes exercise, education, nutrition and psychosocial elements that patients follow for three months. Patients attend classes for 3 days per week for approximately 12 weeks. Phase 3 is a maintenance program of exercise and education that some patients continue for years.
Studies show that patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation have a 46 percent reduction in mortality compared with non-participants. They often report reduction in symptoms, increased energy, better cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improvements in blood pressure, improved sleep and a quicker return to work and leisure activities.
"We're meeting a high level of patient care," said Lesa Naughton, clinical coordinator of Cardiac Rehabilitation at Lexington Medical Center – Lexington. "Cardiac rehabilitation saves lives."
While Lexington Medical Center has offered cardiac rehabilitation for more than twenty years, the hospital began offering a full range of cardiovascular services including open heart surgery and elective angioplasty in 2012. The cardiovascular program is affiliated with Duke Medicine. For more information, visit www.lexmed.com

Farm to Family
It's the BEST of Nature delivered right to your door with no middlemen to compromise the quality or increase the price.
David Sandoval and Amy Venner set out on a mission to promote real, live, natural foods 22 years ago. They started with just a few, hand selected organic farmers and have grown our sister company Purium to one of the fastest growing, most highly recognized network marketing companies today.
Platinum Sets the New Gold Standard in Product Quality
Everybody eats…every day. Over time what you put in your body will determine how you look, feel and perform. The Platinum 20 Point Commitment to purity and potency goes far beyond what has EVER been offered in health-food stores, grocery stores or online.
NON GMO Project
ALL Platinum products are 100% NON-GMO and we believe that Platinum is the only Network Marketing Company that can make this claim.
In an effort to take that commitment and transparency to an all-new level, we began submitting EVERY Platinum product and hundreds of individual ingredients to the NON-GMO Project for 3rd party verification in 2013.

He knew he needed a lifestyle change and set out on a relentless mission to find the answers he needed to turn his life around.
After transforming his body and his mindset, David is healthier and younger today than he was twenty four years ago and he has the biological markers to prove it. David is now a highly sought after lecturer and expert on the healing, anti-aging and power of natural green foods. His singular mission is to share this knowledge and the benefit of his lifetime pursuits with you.

Timothy Hughes
Timothy Hughes standing in 1997 in front of a photo of his ancestor, Rev. Robert Hughes
Lloyd Hughes' father, John Henry Hughes
In 1996, four generations of the Hughes family of Fauquier County came to Monticello soon after learning of their descent from Rev. Robert Hughes of Union Run Baptist Church and head gardener Wormley Hughes of Monticello. The connection might have been broken because their ancestor, also Wormley Hughes (1851-1901), left Albemarle County with the Union army in the confusion at the end of the Civil War.
Timothy Hughes was excited to learn of the minister in his family tree, since he was studying at Washington Bible College at the time and he bears a striking resemblance to Reverend Hughes. He recalled his conversations with his grandfather John Henry Hughes about a wide range of topics.

Green Plum Cooking School – Sat., Jan 9th, 2010
NOTE: The recipes used in my Green Plum Cooking School classes can be found in my online cookbook, "Eat Where Your Food Lives," available for purchase at http://www.ChefMonicaPope.com)
So, I admit it, things got a little, shall we say, off-color in this class.
I don't know how it happened but I'd like to blame it on the SUV I'm using to drive off Alice Waters' yellow brick road and onto Monica Pope Parkway. I told you it was going to be a bumpy (and sometimes dangerous ride!).
During class, I told a very disturbing story about me in my little Mini Cooper, in my own parking lot, instigating a very large West Indies woman in an even larger SUV. I know what I did was wrong and I won't ever do it again but, suffice to say, things turned ugly quickly and my encounter with this woman soon became one of white vs. black. Or so I thought. One audience member came up to me and said that maybe it was more of an SUV-related incident and not so much a race-related incident. "You know how those SUV owners are," she said.
In any case, that story got me talking about race and acceptance and who's whiter and who's really black and who's not and the cultural differences between what you eat and what you like to eat and that somehow got me on the Culinary Tour I'm doing with Marcus Davis from The Breakfast Klub next door. These tours (sold out already – http://www.visithoustontexas.com/culinarytours ) are hosted by the Greater Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau; Marcus and I are going to take 20 people on a bus to "people's mama's houses" — my mama's house, Marcus's mama's house and then other people's mama's houses — to eat good food and drink St. Arnold's beer and have lots of discussion, I'm sure, about food and community and race and sex and all sorts of taboo subjects, I guess. One of my friends – who is black – (some of my best friends are black and possibly some family members from San Diego, but that's another story I told to the class) was eating in my kitchen at t'afia and he said, "I love eating in the kitchen with you. Maybe your mantra should be "eat where your food is cooked." For him, that's mama's kitchen…well, Moni's kitchen.
A few days after this class, I'm watching CNN and there are three panelists — two black and one white — talking about Harry Reid's remarks about President Obama. I didn't even get all the details, but I loved one panelist saying that his own experience is that the darker the skin (he's dark-skinned), the angrier the man (he's perceived as angry) and that lighter- skinned people are more acceptable; he said that we often talk about these things, meaning how blacks and whites are treated, we just don't do it in the same room and finally, if we don't talk about it, we can't learn from it.
In the midst of this race ruckus, we're cooking…sort of. Today I made Portobello Carpaccio, which is just a fancy, Italian word for raw. On the menu at t'afia, I have an Avocado Sashimi — that's just a fancy word for raw, too. For the Carpaccio, I used a Japanese mandoline to slice the mushrooms thinly, but with some bite still left to them. I choose to leave the gills on.

"Khloe & Lamar" is going on a hiatus.
Amid reports that former Dallas Mavericks forward Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were pulling the plug on their E! reality show, Kardashian's rep told People magazine the show was simply "on hold."
Later, Kardashian and Odom told ET Online that there was "a lot on our plate."
U.S. & World
"Our show is not cancelled," Kardashian said. "Lamar and I have chosen...to take a break this summer. We just want to take a little time off for Lamar to be with family time, kids, basketball, Olympics, you never know."
Odom said the couple would return to the spin-off "when it's time."
After a heated halftime exchange between Odom and Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban earlier this year, Odom was benched permanently and placed on the inactive list due to his uninspired play and lackluster attitude.
"It's in his best interests to get his act together, and I'm sure he will," said Cuban. "Lamar is still a talented basketball player. He just went through some issues this year. We thought we could work through them with him this year and we weren't able to."
Odom still has one year left on a four-year NBA contract. Any team that has the 13-year veteran on its roster on June 29 must give him a $2.4 million buyout or be responsible for the full $8.2 million he would be due in 2012-13.
Last week E! announced that it had picked up "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" for three more seasons.
