Will humankind ever achieve an end to science history?
My bioelectricity class is half science and half history. When we bring up a new topic, we often first pause to set its historical backdrop from a political and experimental perspective. This is particularly interesting, given that in bioelectricity, experiments date back several hundred years, but are also unfolding every day (quite literally, if we consider that ion channels are proteins whose foling structures are a topic of this field -- see http://fold.it/portal/ for a link to the fold it protein folding game taking the world by storm). But when I try to consider new research, I find myself feeling viscerally skeptical of our own time's limited perspective on our own accomplishments to date.
Phillip von Jolly, Planck's professor at Munich, is pretty much solely known for falsely predicting of physics that, "in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes." Similarly, Lord Kelvin is said to have proclaimed that "there is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement." Both of these quotes were said at the dawn of the quantum era. I think we humans tend to assume that we are at the end of history, that all scientific and social progress has culminated to the present.
The question I would like to pose is whether or not science is at least honing in on an absolute reality--what philosophers call "scientific realism." Are we getting closer--converging--to the end of scientific discovery with each paradigm shift, or do we just recast how we understand the world in a different vocabulary? From one perspective, the miasma theory of disease, which preceded today's germ theory, was thought to be approximately accurate experimentally, just like today's germ theory is "approximately accurate" as far as it's clinical effectiveness. Is there a truth of nature behind a curtain for us to discover? If there is, are humans capable of acieving it?

Hadar CohenFeb 14 2013: Hi Yaron!
The question you pose is one that I find that many people ponder throughout their lives. It is a difficult one because I think we all know that humanity will never really achieve a full understanding of all of science. However, we still can't help but feel sometimes that we are very close. You quoted prestigious people that have stated similar thoughts. When studying science, it is simple to envision a world in which everything can make sense to us. But this just confirms our limited perception.
I find it scary to admit that humans do not have the ability to conquer the scientific world. It will continue to amaze and inspire us in many different ways that are beyond our control.
Feb 14 2013: Thanks for your thoughtful response, Hadar.
I think you bring up a good point about the scary and daunting thought of never achieving a complete knowledge of the universe. I also find it interesting that--and this has come up a few times already--this doesn't seem to discourage us. Human curiosity has proven quite resilient, even when many do not believe in an end goal. I guess it's the passional experience that keeps us going rather than the end result.
You wrote, "I think we all know that humanity will never really achieve a full understanding of all of science." I wouldn't be so sure. What I've found so interesting and what I've learned in bringing this up to family and peers is that people tend to be very sure one way or the other.
Feb 16 2013: Why should we even WANT a full understanding of the universe? There are a lot of real patterns out there that are just useless as far as we're concerned. The fact that we're limited in virtue of our perceptual capacities, spatio-temporal location, and technology isn't a problem, but rather a useful limit on what we ought to attend to. I'm not even sure what a full understanding of the universe would consist in; why not just focus on understanding patterns that are useful for realizing the kinds of goals we have, both as individuals and as a species?
Feb 17 2013: Professor, I agree with you on a practical level. It is certainly hard to interpret "full understanding of the universe," and we are probably better off with limited abilities.
But do you not acknowledge the innate human (and maybe most species?--they just aren't as successful?) desire to grow in understanding and dominance of the universe? This may be a meaningless aspiration and it probably does us well to overcome it, but it seems to be a shared human sentiment across generations. I think this may be what Hadar was reffering to as scary.
Feb 20 2013: The short answer is no, we most likely wont be able to uncover all of the scientific secrets of the world.
To delve deeper, lets think about how the world seemed to scientists before the microscopic world was unlocked when Rober Hooke saw "little rooms" and called them cells. This opened the door to a whole new realm of science which only further opened doors to even more realms (i.e. quantum theory, microbiology, etc.). In fact, this month, scientists were able to "program" bacteria to function as simple logic gates and even remember past computations! This type of discovery could lead to an entire new world of technology! Things are yet to be discovered, and we can even begin to imagine where those discoveries will take us.
Now, lets Zoom out. Let us assume we do conquer the science of our world... There is still so many other worlds and solar systems and galaxies that have different sets of science hereunto unknown to our planet! While this approach may seem far-fetched (and maybe outside the scope of your question), I think it's quite unlikely that young bright scientists will one day just sit in their labs, playing with their microscopes because they have nothing to do.

Businesses open in Birch Bay this summer
Published on Wed, Jul 10, 2013 by
Steve Guntli
Read More
Birch Bay Pizza is up and running at Birch Bay Waterslides. The new restaurant opened Memorial Day weekend, taking over a space previously occupied by Little Caesars Pizza.
Iain Buchanan, the Waterslides' general manager, said the business has been benefiting from the summer foot traffic the waterpark attracts.
"It was a little bit of a slow start until we got our feelers out there," he said. "But now that we're getting more guests out to the waterpark, it's really boosted up."
The restaurant is currently only serving pizza, but Buchanan hopes to expand the menu once the fledgling business gets some experience under its belt.
"We're going to do pizza first, do pizza right and then we can start adding items," he said.
Buchanan hopes to eventually add sandwiches, wings and desserts to the menu. The biggest challenge he anticipates will be maintaining the restaurant's business in the off-season.
"We're still waiting to see if the community will support a year-round business in that area," Buchanan said. "I think it will, but it really depends on when we get our customer base established."
He is considering adding a delivery option during the off-season.
The restaurant employs 10 people, with three or four people manning the small kitchen at a time. Birch Bay Pizza is open every day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, call Iain Buchanan at 360/392-8698 or visit birchbaywaterslides.net.
Sonya's Furniture, owned by Sonya Mozes, has relocated from its Ferndale location to Birch Bay.
After local resident Mozes lost her lease on the 15,000-square-foot Ferndale location, she packed up shop and reopened her business in a much smaller, 2,200-square-foot space at 4819 Alderson Road in Blaine. She has adjusted her business model to accommodate the smaller location, focusing more on custom orders and upholstery.
Running the small establishment with one other employee on hand, Mozes said she is excited about the possibilities. She said her new location, which has only been open for about three weeks, serves a valuable purpose in the community.
"Birch Bay and Blaine don't really have anything like this," Mozes said. "So for the locals here, they don't have to travel to Ferndale or Bellingham [for furniture]. We're right in their backyard."
Her new storefront showcases a selection of liquidation pieces from major retailers, as well as solid and reclaimed-wood furniture – a good option for eco-minded customers, Mozes said.
Sonya's Furniture is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Mozes is planning to reduce her store hours in the fall, but will continue to operate after hours on an appointment-only basis. She is also planning to offer in-home furniture consultations. For more information, call 360/778-1369.
Birch Bay Teriyaki Cafe is under new ownership.
Hee Young Kim and her husband stepped in as owners of the establishment, located at 8036 Birch Bay Drive, in early May. The Kims previously owned and operated a restaurant in Federal Way for 25 years.
The Kims manage the restaurant themselves, along with a staff of about five people, she said. The restaurant serves Chinese, Japanese and American food, and offers a selection of ice cream.
Kim said she is happy with the business so far but is hoping things will pick up over the summer. She also anticipates more business when the state approves a liquor license, which she hopes will happen within the next week.
The restaurant will be open on the weekend of July 20–21 to take advantage of Birch Bay's Discovery Days festival, and will stay open on weekends starting this summer.
Birch Bay Teriyaki is currently open Monday through Friday, from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. For more information, call 360/371-7499.

Drug And Alcohol Treatment
There may come a time in life when someone may feel overwhelmed and hopeless, something triggers inside the person and in a momentary lapse of judgment, it may seem like drugs and alcohol are the answer. There are various complex and complicated reasons behind why someone will develop an addiction problem and when it happens, Transformations Treatment Center is there to help. Being a leader in both traditional and Christian-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation, we offer clients a variety of different options and innovative treatments to help in the desperate struggle to break the hold of addiction. True recovery comes from within a person, all we do is help along the journey and guide the individual along the path to make it happen.
When someone is suffering from addiction and wants to change, Transformations Treatment Center can be the catalyst a person needs to make it happen. Our clients are provided with programs specially designed to address every single facet of healing and recovery which is provided in a positive, secure and safe environment. Our mission is not only to provide the foundation needed for healing, but also to give the person the chance to experience a long lasting and complete addiction recovery. We have programs which involve life skills, counseling, therapy, nutritional education, fitness facilities and comfortable, modern home-like accommodations. We believe that the treatment experience is as much therapeutic as it is personal, because it allows for us to build a strong, trusting bond between client and clinician.
Transformations Treatment Center offers each client a three-phased program which is designed to address each and every phase of addiction. Depending upon the needs of the client and the recommendations of our staff, the length of treatment can range from 30, 60 or 90-days in duration. We have found using a three-phased approach to treating addiction is the best way to help our clients conquer an addiction and find the path to achieving a lasting recovery, which is the ultimate mission of our treatment center. We, at Transformations Treatment Center, are proud to say that our programs are highly successful and our clients have everything essential to transition from addiction and into a clean and sober lifestyle.
Phase One of Transformations Treatment Centers program is designed for those individuals struggling to stay clean from drugs or alcohol, or for those fresh out of a detoxification program. We employ a 30-day treatment option which can include detoxification services if a person is dealing with a severe form of addiction. Using group and individual therapy, life skills coaching sessions, modern accommodations, health and fitness facilities, convenient transportation services and providing clients with daily sober-based activities shows the individual there are other options in life besides addiction. It is our goal to help each and every client through the treatment process and emerge from Transformations as a clean and sober member of society once again.
Our program's Second Phase is designed for someone that has completed the first phase successfully or for individuals that have been discharged after completing another inpatient treatment program. We know that adjusting to life outside of a rehab facility can be overwhelming to an addict and believe that for those needing more, this is an ideal program. The second phase program offered at Transformations Treatment Center includes a 30-day treatment program, group and individual therapy sessions, health and fitness facilities, comfortable living accommodations and much more. The second phase program is ideal for those that have conquered an addiction but are in need of life skills coaching and relapse prevention education. We provide our clients with programs that emulate real life experiences in order to prepare them for the initial phases of leaving treatment and going back into society.
Our Phase Three program is designed for people that have successfully completed Phases One and Two at our treatment center. When being considered for this phase, most individuals are currently seeking gainful employment or have a part-time job and possibly may be enrolling into a higher education facility. Members that seek Phase Three must be sober for at least 60-days and can then be accepted into the program. We provide our clients with consultation services and will assist in job hunting or help the individual locate a suitable school or training program. The third phase of Transformations Treatment Centers program still includes all the standard offerings of a 30-day program, group and individual counseling, health and fitness club membership, and all other standard services, and is designed to work around a person's schedule.
Transformations Treatment Center has discovered that a multidisciplinary approach and three-phased treatment gives our clients the best possible chance of recovering from addiction and increases the odds of long-term sobriety. We believe that in order to best serve our clients it is important for our program to incorporate "real life" scenarios into the daily treatment experience. We know when our client leave rehab, the transition to a clean and sober lifestyle will be one of the hardest things to get used to, which is why our programs help the individual uncover triggers and stressors which could result in relapse. Relapsing is a normal part of trying to get clean and sober, but with Transformations Treatment Centers help, the individual learns to recognize the warning signs and do something to prevent it from happening.
Our clients all receive ongoing counseling and group and individual therapy sessions, 12-step meetings and relapse prevention education, which we feel allows them to make the most of the rehabilitation experience and makes adjusting to life in the outside world must easier. Transformations Treatment Center firmly believes that each person has the capacity to heal from addiction; recovery comes from within, it is our job to lay down the fundamentals an individual needs to make it happen. Through teaching the skills and tools a person needs to become clean and sober, our programs completely prepare an individual to face the future with courage and a sense of inner strength never before experienced, which allows for a long and successful recovery.

text: content January 20, 2009 Green tea catechins improve exercise-induced abdominal fat loss An article published in the February, 2009 Journal of Nutrition reported the outcome of a clinical trial which found a lowering effect for green tea catechins on abdominal fat and triglycerides in overweight adults. Increased abdominal fat is a factor associated with metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Kevin C. Maki of Provident Clinical Research in Bloomington, Indiana, along with coauthors including Jeffrey B. Blumberg of Tufts University in Boston, randomized 132 overweight or obese adults to receive a beverage containing approximately 625 milligrams green tea catechins (including gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, catechin, epicatechin, EGCG, gallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate and catechin gallate) and 39 milligrams caffeine, or a beverage containing the same amount of caffeine without catechins daily for twelve weeks. Participants were requested to maintain the same amount of caloric intake and to engage in at least 180 minutes per week of exercise, including at least three supervised sessions each week. Body composition, serum lipids, and other factors were assessed at the beginning and end of the study. Both groups lost weight by the end of the study, yet participants who received catechins experienced a greater amount of weight loss than those who consumed the control beverage. When fat mass was considered, the percentage lost was greater in the catechin group, although the amount was not considered significant. However, total abdominal fat area, subcutaneous abdominal fat and serum triglycerides were significantly lower in subjects who received green tea catechins. Tea catechins' most commonly studied mechanisms of action on body composition are that of improving thermogenesis and increased fat oxidation. "Our results are not inconsistent with the possibility that catechin consumption increases energy expenditure to a degree that could produce clinically important changes in body fat over time," the authors write. "Larger and/or longer trials will be needed to test this hypothesis. Obesity About age 30 to 35, most men (and some women) notice they are gaining weight around the middle. Their pants become tight and at some point no longer fit. The words "pot belly," "beer belly," or "spare tire" are sometimes used to describe the medical condition called "abdominal obesity." This sort of fat accumulation greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. As it turns out, there is a scientific explanation for the tendency toward abdominal obesity among middle-aged men. As men age, their levels of free testosterone decline, and levels of estrogen and insulin increase. This is partly because aging men convert much of their testosterone into estradiol, a form of estrogen. Of the remaining testosterone, much is bound to sex hormone–binding globulin, a protein in the blood, and is not biologically active. Clinical studies have shown that testosterone replacement therapy can provide a variety of benefits. In one study of 86 men aged 50 to 70, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure markedly decreased after 60 days of testosterone therapy (Li et al 2002). Another testosterone-replacement study in middle-aged obese men showed improved waist-to-hip ratio along with a decrease in plasma insulin and an increase in glucose disposal, suggesting improved insulin sensitivity (Marin et al 1992). In another trial, abdominally obese middle-aged men showed improved glucose control, decreased abdominal body fat, and improved sexual function after testosterone therapy (Boyanov et al 2003). In women, the relationship between excess body fat, testosterone, estrogens, and progesterone is somewhat more complicated. Life Extension magazine January, 2009 issue now online!

Firefighter contract discussions linger
Date: January 27, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The town of Longboat Key rejected a counter-proposal by the Longboat Key Fire Rescue union Wednesday, Jan. 20.
The union said the offer (which included no changes for the first year of the union's now-expired three-year contract) was its best and final offer. In its proposal, the union said if the offer wasn't acceptable, it would appreciate the town manager's best offer.
The town's best offer, which was also presented Wednesday, includes revisions to sick-and-paid leave and overtime that firefighters found unacceptable.
For instance, the town no longer wants to count absences due to sickness or injury as hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime eligibility.
The firefighters, meanwhile, asked for their expired contract to be reinstated, with no wage- and cost-of-living increases requested in the first year of the contract.
But in year two of the contract, the union is asking for wage and cost-of-living increases. And in year three, the union wants a cost-of-living adjustment comparable to the Sarasota County Fire Department and wants the town to contribute $500 per person for a new health trust fund.
But the town rejected the offer, and the union wants to come back to the town one final time with a revised offer.
"I think it's a very fair offer," said Keith Tanner, firefighter/paramedic and district vice president for the Longboat Key District of International Association of Firefighters. "We made a number of changes to our proposal to keep from going to impasse, and the town has brought back to us no concessions."
Just a few months ago, the union asked for 48 more hours of vacation time, a clothing-allowance increase, specialty-pay increase, a health-trust savings plan, an amended pension plan and wage- and cost-of-living increases for years two and three of the contract.
Although the firefighters have eliminated all of their requests, except for salary increases in years two and three of the contract, it's still likely both sides could head to impasse.
For the fifth meeting in a row, labor attorney Reynolds Allen, of Allen, Norton & Blue, told firefighters the town is in no position to offer them anything that involves monetary contributions by the town.
And, the firefighters continue to argue the town has more than enough money ($4.7 million in reserves) to pay them wage- and cost-of-living increases, which they believe were offered to them as part of their contracts when hired.
If the town and the union cannot agree on a contract, one side or the other would declare an impasse, at which time a special magistrate would review both proposals and make a decision that's not legally binding, essentially bringing both sides back to the table for negotiations.

- Put them on an 8 hour per day, five day a week work schedule and see what kind of concessions will be made. No more moonlighting at second jobs! With 10% of the work force officially unemployed and another 8% unemployed by not looking for work anymore, the firefighters should be happy with a 10% pay cut and a defined contribution pension plan. Also, any deficit in their current pension plans should be forgiven by them in order to keep their jobs.

Thursday, October 3, 2013 - 10:42am
Slightly more Americans filed for jobless benefits last week. The government reports about 308-thousand people filed initial claims for unemployment benefits last week, that's up one-thousand from the week before.
The overall initial claims figure remains near its lowest level since 2007, an encouraging sign that layoffs are back to pre-recession levels. The data does not yet include the impact of the government shutdown.

Oscar scores from a free kick, sending the ball floating over the wall. It curved beautifully to the far post and into the top corner, just out of the keeper's grasp. Oscar celebrates the goal, on Jose Mourinho's birthday, no less. Eden Hazard breaks past Wilson Palacios as play continues to go in Chelsea's favour The score remains the same as the final whistle blows: Chelsea 1 - 0 Stoke City. Frank Lampard waves to the stands as he exits the pitch.

A Job Shop with Heart
Michael Hudson, the owner of Heartland Fabrication & Machine, Inc., refers to his business as a "job shop" specializing in machining, fabrication and the distribution of production supplies. His Native American-owned firm has clients from coast to coast, building everything from components for manufacturers to precision metal parts to finished products. Located in a 26,000 square foot facility in the Kansas City suburb of Raytown, Missouri, he now employs 17 people, but this level of success was not always the case.
When Mr. Hudson purchased Heartland in 1997, he acquired a two-person business operating in a 1,200 square foot facility with only two customers. Along the way he encountered many obstacles and hardships; in 2003, when the price of steel spiked and many manufacturers had to absorb the full impact, Heartland came very close to going out of business.
"We were able to get a SBA loan, which helped us to remain open," said Hudson. "SBA's guarantee allowed the banks to be more aggressive in funding a loan for Heartland."
Realizing there are many facets to owning and operating a business, Hudson knew he needed to not only an SBA loan, but other services the SBA offers as well. He took the steps to certify Heartland Fabrication & Machine, Inc. in the SBA's 8(a) business development program. The 8(a) program provides managerial and technical assistance to participating firms and access to government contracting opportunities. While in the program, Heartland has received several federal contracts.
"These contracts saved my company. Not only were they instrumental in turning the company around, they also helped us build relationships that resulted in other contracts," said Hudson.
So where does the "job shop with a heart" come from? Hudson located his expanded facility in an industrial area in Raytown, determined to create jobs in a distressed community.
"Seeing one of my manufactured products in use is always a reward; however, the biggest reward comes from watching your long-term employees become financially able to buy their own home. It is just a wonderful feeling to know that my company helped someone get a piece of the American dream," he proudly says.
He believes that Heartland is fortunate to have remained a viable business after surviving the recent economic downturn and is confident his business will continue to grow. He advises up-and-coming entrepreneurs to learn about available resources and never to be afraid to ask for help. He notes that using SBA programs and services is a smart way to enhance chances for success. He says, "Go SBA!"

PLAYERS: Luke Hochevar, Clayton Kershaw, Tim Lincecum, Eric Hosmer
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants
Luke Hochevar gave Kansas City Royals fans another reason to lament the 2006 draft. The right-hander allowed five runs in the first inning Tuesday to put the Royals in an early hole en route to a 9-3 loss to the Tigers. Hochevar was the first overall pick in 2006. That was the same draft that produced Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw, who won the National League Cy Young Award last year, and Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum, who has two Cy Young trophies on his mantel. Where would the Royals be if they had selected one of them instead of Hochevar, who owns a 32-45 career record? Meanwhile, Hochevar continues to struggle and at age 28 remains an enigma. He is 2-2 with a 7.36 ERA in five starts this season. He allowed nine runs on 12 hits and three walks in four innings in the loss at Detroit. The first seven Tigers reached base off Hochevar -- six hits and a throwing error by first baseman Eric Hosmer. This brought back memories of the Friday the 13th home opener, when Hoc...

Aunty Amy … married to my brother Ben and mother of Andrew, Isaiah and Jeremiah
(Click on each image for a larger view)
A few months back, I mentioned on the blog that we were working on a series of photos for our baby's nursery. We just entered the third trimester, and we now have a crib (minus the mattress). Above the crib is a wide wall that can accommodate 10 frames at 8'x10′.
So here's the concept: We want our child to know that they always have their family close by. So, beginning in August with Hailey's brother and sister-in-law, we've been photographing them on a white backdrop. Rather than do just a headshot, we thought it would be fun if each image captured the playful, inner child of our parents, our brothers and sisters, and our nephews. On Thanksgiving Day, we completed the shoot. This post is devoted to the ones we've selected to frame.
Uncle Jason (Hailey's brother)
Aunty Ali (Jason's wife, Hailey's sister-in-law)
There are more images of Jason and Ali from a post I did in September.
What I've come to realize is that these images are a family heirloom, something to treasure more than any antique. At age 1 or 2, just as our son/daughter is beginning to figure these relationships out, these pics will be their guide. By the time they'll be in high school and college, this will be a snapshot of who we were back then. Such an awesome family … we're thankful for each person within it.
Can't decide whether we should complete it with pictures of the two of us being playful or not. I don't know … the kid's going to be seeing plenty of us!

by Hal Erickson synopsis
Lea Thompson guests in this first episode of Law & Order: Special Victim Unit's sixth season as widow Michelle Osborne, who has paid a pair of private detectives to kidnap six-year-old Patty Branson (Abigail Breslin). When caught, Michelle insists that she is Patty's real mother, and that the girl had been abducted from her four years earler. Running DNA tests, medical examiner Warner (Tamara Tunie) determines that Patty's birth mother is the woman with whom she currently resides, Sarah Branson (Camilla Scott). This, however, does not prove that Michelle is lying--and in piecing the clues together, Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) are led to a fertility clinic which traffics in stolen embryos.

Rods, Pistons And Other ThingsThe key components in the NORAD 3RZ engine are an object lesson in no-compromise engineering. The pistons, rods and crankshaft are essential components that must perform at 100 percent to allow the engine to realize its full potential. With this in mind, Norwood selected his components very carefully.
"I'm anal about what parts I put in a race engine," Norwood reveals. "I'd rather pay extra for a top-quality part than have to deal with the problems that arise when you start trying to save a few bucks. It's a matter of finding what works for your application and then sticking with it. I'm not saying that you shouldn't experiment or research your options carefully, but at the end of the day quality is the greatest consideration."
There's no question about the quality of the components in this engine. JE Pistons is an established manufacturer of racing pistons and the NORAD 3RZ features a set of 96mm custom slugs that are forged from 2618 aluminum alloy to give an 8.5:1 compression ratio.
The pistons are designed to withstand the extreme boost levels that this engine will see, but also, for weight-shaving purposes, to carry a minimum of material in non-load-bearing areas.
The wrist pins are JE 93-series high-strength tool steel items and the pins are located with JE Tru-Arc wire ring locks. LC Engineering installed its own Moly-Plasma dyke rings for best performance and then, finally, the pistons were sent to Calico coatings for treatment.
Calico coatings are the leading supplier of high-tech coatings to the performance engine industry and they offer several different coatings for different applications. The NORAD 3RZ uses Calico's CT1 Teflon-based coating on all of the bearings to assist with lubrication. Piston tops, chambers, exhaust ports and exhaust valves are coated with Calico's CT2 metallic ceramic coating to assist heat dispersion and help eliminate "hot spots".
The skirts of the JE pistons are also treated with Calico's CT3 matrix-flouropolymer high-stress lubricant coating and finally the rods and crank are coated with the CT5 flouropolymer oil-shedding coating to minimize drag.
The next component of the NORAD rotating assembly to be selected was the connecting rods. Rado's 2003 engines ran several different variations, but Norwood was specific about his choice for 2004.
"I really like Pauter Engineering's design," he says. "It's very strong. In fact, I ran Pauter rods for the entire season in Kenny Tran's Honda and we never had a single failure despite leaning on them pretty hard. (Understatement: Tran's 1.8-liter Honda is generating in excess of 1,000 hp.) Another thing I like about the design of the Pauter rods is that they have a very narrow profile and as a result we see minimal drag from them at high rpm."
Rado's 2004-spec engine's feature custom-billet 6AL4V titanium Pauter rods cut down significantly on the weight of the assembly (it's 33 percent lighter than forged steel) without affecting strength. Not inexpensive for sure, but Norwood is not interested in cutting any corners on this engine program.
The final component in the NORAD Toyota 3RZ is the crankshaft. As we found out earlier from Norwood, the stock Toyota forged-steel item is plenty strong, albeit a little on the porky side.
The answer comes in the form of LC Engineering's Pro-Lite version of the stock crank. This is a trick piece of equipment and it's a perfect example of careful development creating a part that is strong, light and reliable under extreme duress.
The stock crankshaft cores are tested and inspected for imperfections before LC begins working on them. Then the crankshaft is knife-edged to produce less crank windage and faster acceleration without sacrificing strength. Total weight reduction is around five pounds.
After the machining work is completed the crank is shot-peened and heat treated for extra strength. The journals are then micro-polished and finally the crank is dynamically balanced before it's Magnaflux inspected and treated with Calico's CT5 oil-shedding coating.
The main and big-end bearings are sourced directly from Calico and are pre-coated, and all the fasteners used in the assembly are top-of-the-line articles from ARP.
Norwood lastly comments, "The block and the rotating assembly are the heart of a race engine. If the job is done correctly, they'll take nearly anything you can throw at them. In an application such as this I prefer to hand over responsibility to a specialist like LC Engineering. We've shared ideas and I think the final result will be an absolute killer motor. LC proved last year it could build a bad-ass engine, but this year's motor will be a major step up in terms of outright horsepower."
The setup and dyno-tuning of the NORAD Toyota 3RZ will reveal lots about the potential of the combination, which we'll reveal in a future article. Next month, we'll look at the ancillary systems such as the dry-sump, charging and crankcase evacuation systems and examine the cam drive and camshaft design. Stay tuned.

6 Dividend Stocks for Earnings Season
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- With earnings season under way, let's take a look at some dividend stocks.
The start of earnings season this week is typically a major positive for dividend investors. That's because companies tend to group their dividend announcements around their earnings releases. It's a logical combination; after all, those earnings are supposed to be paying for those dividend checks.
This earnings season, the stakes are raised a bit. The weakness we've seen in the broad market in the last quarter has left many investors clawing for returns of any kind. As a result, the return of corporate cash to shareholders has become an especially popular option. A good quarter for dividends hikes will help bolster investor confidence at a fairly crucial time.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to SoarOf course, it's worth noting that dividends and capital gains aren't mutually exclusive. Over the last 36 years, dividend stocks outperformed the rest of the S&P 500 by 2.5% annually, and they outperformed nonpayers by nearly 8% every year, all while paying out cash to their shareholders, according to data compiled by Ned Davis Research. The numbers are even more compelling when looking at companies that consistently increase their payouts. With that, here's a look at our list of recent dividend-increasers.

Lack of support in the Vermont House of Representatives has doomed a bill that would have established up to five medical-marijuana distribution centers, the Barre/Montpelier Times-Argus reported April 2.
"It became clear to us that the other body wasn't interested in taking it up this year, so we ordered it to lie," said Senate President Peter Shumlin. "With such a tight timeline to get our work done, I want to focus our attention on bills that both chambers are going to pass."
Vermont passed a medical-marijuana law in 2004 that allows residents with illnesses like multiple sclerosis and cancer to use the drug legally for medical reasons. The law also allows medical users to grow marijuana for personal use, but set up no legal system for distribution of medical marijuana.
Opposition from law enforcement officials helped sink the "compassion center" legislation in the House.

Can you be taught to be a good photographer?
When I bought my first serious camera, a Canon Ftb slr, my photography was going to improve by leaps and bounds. It didn't. I found out that the more equipment that I had didn't make my pictures any better. I just had more bad shots taken in new ways.
My progression was slow. I shot everything on Kodachrome film.It was expensive and usually took two to three weeks to get processed.
I had to be careful what I shot because every exposure cost me money. I was young, still in school and tight for cash.
I was in a hurry to improve. Everyone is in a rush to get better. Thirty some years later I can tell you, there is no quick way to improve your photography. Out of desperation or not knowing better, many believe that they can buy their way to better pictures.
I think that one of the reasons photo workshops are so attractive is because these same people believe that attending one will improve their photography by leaps and bounds. Spend a few hundred dollars and your landscapes will look like they belong in a glossy travel magazine.
I recently saw an ad for another photography workshop. I see them every day it seems but this one caught my attention. Why? The cost. Almost three thousand dollars for under a week of instruction. Three thousand dollars! Yes, that wasn't a typo. Three thousand dollars.
Here's the poop on photography. You can teach basics. That's about it. Everything else is you.
There are no secrets the pros use. There aren't any shortcuts that I can give you to make your photos sizzle. If I could make you a better photographer by offering you an online course or a weekend or week long workshop, I would do it. But I can't. Nobody can.
I spent two years in photography school with a half a dozen different instructors and a slew of guest lecturers. That was two full years of constant instruction, critiques and assignments. You'll never get that kind of instruction in a photography workshop. There's a connection here. Read on.
Before I went to school, everything I learned, I did so from reading.
In the space of three years my landscapes were getting published in magazines and coffee table books. A national publisher made me an offer to produce a book on the mountains of Alberta. All of that happened without any formal instruction from anyone.
I dropped the book project because I thought that it would be better for me in the long run to learn the craft of photography in school. There had to be more to it than what I was doing.
The two years passed quickly. Instead of shooting landscapes, I ended up shooting advertising, fashion, food and editorial. Now I am back to landscapes after a long absence.
When I finished the course, I was the same person creatively that I was when I started the course.
In that time I never saw anyone take a giant leap in their craft. The kids who were good at the beginning were the same ones making great shots twenty four months later. The so so shooters were still, well, so so.
Compare that two years of intense study with a weekend or a week of outdoor workshops. One weekend or one week of instruction with anyone will not improve your photography as much as you actually getting out on your own and shooting for yourself.
If you are going to improve it will be because of you not because of someone else.
Don't rush to get better. Take your time. It will happen. You can pay someone to take you on a nice guided holiday of the mountains and shoot the breeze with other photographers. It sounds like a nice photographic holiday. If you really intend to come away a better photographer, my money says it's not going to happen that way.
As your photography improves you'll realize that you could only get there on your own.
Happy shooting,
ps, I'm out the door to Banff and Jasper in a few moments. The forecast is great for photography and hopefully, I'll come back with some fresh, interesting images.

Really like this statement – " offer no workshops, no photo tours, no e-books and no online courses to turn you into the next Ansel Adams. The most successful professional photographers that I personally know have succeeded by being independent thinkers." So…very true. My soon to be husband is a Fine Art Photographer and these words echo his beliefs as well! http://www.mmgriffis.com
Your work is beautiful!

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope collected 24 points and 10 rebounds and Nemanja Djurisic added 12 points as the host Bulldogs snapped a three-game losing streak against the Wildcats.
Donte' Williams chipped in 10 points and eight boards for Georgia (15-15, 9-8 SEC), which has won two straight and three of its last four to maintain its slim hopes of finishing at .500 or better and earning a postseason berth of some sort.
Archie Goodwin scored 20 points and Willie Cauley-Stein added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Wildcats (20-10, 11-6), who have dropped two straight to damage their hopes of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Kentucky led by as many as six early, but Georgia used a 6-0 burst to regain the lead and took a 31-26 advantage into halftime thanks to Caldwell-Pope's 3-pointer just before the buzzer.
The Bulldogs led throughout the second half. Kyle Wiltjer's 3-pointer capped a 7-0 run to pull Kentucky within 50-47 with 7:47 left, but Georgia answered with a 12-0 spurt to put it away.
Game notebook: Caldwell-Pope has scored in double figures in every game this season. ... Georgia has matched last season's win total and ensured it will finish at .500 or better in the SEC for the third time in the past 10 years. ... Kentucky G Julius Mays was held scoreless and went 0-for-2 from 3-point range, snapping a streak of 18 consecutive games with at least one 3.

Christmas in North Dakota!
Holiday Train making five stops here
The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train kicks off the Christmas season over thousands of miles of the northern United States and Canada.
The bright, colorful CP Holiday Train travels across Canada and the United States raining money, food and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. On separate Canadian and American routes, the Holiday Train reaches more than 150 communities each year for a combined distance of nearly 6,000 miles.
Since 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised more than $6 million and about 2.6 million pounds of food for North American food banks. At each community where the Holiday Train stops, money and food donations are collected. The collections support charitable food efforts in each of those communities. CP also makes donations in many of these communities.
Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modified box car that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers. Each car is decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED Christmas lights. Santa Claus rides the Holiday Train all along its route, passing out Christmas goodies to children in each community.
In 2011, more than 20,000 candy canes were handed out to the kids at Holiday Train events. In the 13 years of the Holiday Train program, it is estimated over a quarter of a million candy canes have been given to children as treats. The Holiday Train also features top-flight musical acts which perform at each stop.
Here is the itinerary for the Holiday Train's upcoming North Dakota stops:
• Hankinson – 7 p.m., American Legion parking lot, Main Street railroad crossing.
• Enderlin – 9:45 p.m., CP depot, 101 Harvest Lane.
• Harvey – 4:30 p.m., CP Depot, 600 Lincoln Ave.
• Minot – 7:30 p.m., Main Street railroad crossing
• Kenmare – 10 p.m., First Ave. S.W. and Central Ave., east side of railway tracks
CP advises that that scheduled stop times are approximate and subject to change.
Knife River Chorale lifts Christmas hope
Christmas Spirit thrives at West Acres
West Acres Shopping Center in Fargo has plenty of Christmas cheer and abundant shopping waiting for the many, many visitors it will host this month.
Alissa Sorum, marketing director for West Acres, on 13th Ave. S., says the mall expects to see an average of 30,000 visitors per day this month. That will be a part of the 7 million visitors Sorum says are projected to visit West Acres in 2012. Sorum says virtually all retail space at West Acres is currently occupied with retailers. "We are also full to capacity with specialty holiday carts and kiosks," she says. Sorum says the mall's "anchor" department stores (Macy's, Sears, jcpenney and Herberger's) are doing well, and the center includes national chain stores as well as many that are locally owned.
Cass County Electric Cooperative serves West Acres Shopping Center.
West Acres kicked off the holiday shopping season this year on the Sunday night before Thanksgiving. The 14th annual "It's A Wonderful Night" event catered to after-hours mall shoppers, each gaining entry by buying a $5 admission ticket. Proceeds from the ticket sales go to local charitable organizations. Then, merchants opened their Thanksgiving weekend "Black Friday" doors at midnight. Santa Claus arrived at the mall that Friday and remains at West Acres to hear from youngsters through Dec. 24.
This month, Sorum says West Acres is hosting holiday performances through Dec. 14; this involves more than 60 musical and dance groups providing weekday performances, in the Fountain Court. The performances are part of West Acres' Regional Showcase Program.
Sorum says research indicates about 60 percent of West Acres visitors come from the Fargo-West Fargo-Moorhead communities. She adds that 25 percent of visitors come from more than 100 miles away, including Canada. According to Sorum, and industry studies, mall shopping has weathered the recent national recession and the ongoing flight of shoppers to online outlets.
"We're confident that malls will always have a place," Sorum says. "Malls, in general, have something that online shopping can't offer customers, which is the experience. We work very hard to make sure that the experience for our customers is a positive one." Sorum says West Acres is designed to host diners, walkers and people meeting and interacting. Displays from local artists add to the ambiance and comfort.
"Our mall is about more than just shopping – it is a social experience, a warm environment and a familiar place. You can't get that online," Sorum says.
Holiday schedules and other holiday season mall promotions are available at www.westacres.com and www.facebook.com/westacres.
Happy holidays at Minot's Dakota Square

Issues with going smaller after breast implants?
- Raquelle
- Toronto
- 4 years ago
Got saline implants 9 years ago (Large34C -325CC). Breastfed and now I'd like to be 34B. My doctor suggested a lift (with nipple revision) and the new gel moderate plus (equivalent to 325). I'm good with recommendations but want smaller implant like a 250 (not sure equivalent in gel).
Consultant said not possible and sited width of the original implant as problem. Boobs would be too far apart. Alternative seems to be removing the implant with lift but I think a little volume would be nice. Can't they just use 200 or 255. I don't understand the issue is?
View 8 doctor answers to Getting Smaller Implants - 700cc to 500cc Feasible?
Comments (1)
i just had breast revision surgery to change to a smaller size now i think i might need a lift. i went from 400cc in right breast and 380 cc in left saline high profile implant to 325cc right and 300cc left silicone moderate plus. even though they feel so much softer & real they have some rippling in the clevage area and sag a little its only been 11 days since my surgery my dr says to just keep wearing support bra for a couple of weeks.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. To treat gallbladder cancer, the drugs are usually put into the body intravenously. That means there is a bag of medicine attached to a tube that allows the drugs to drip into a needle inserted into a vein in your arm.
Because chemotherapy enters the bloodstream, it is called a systemic treatment. That means the drugs travel through the whole body killing cancer cells — not just ones in the gallbladder. The combination of 2 drugs, cisplatinum and gemcitabine, has shown the best survival in patients with metastatic or unresectable gallbladder cancer.
If you're having radiation treatment for gallbladder cancer, you may also have chemotherapy. The drugs help make the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation.
