Article changed over to new Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements format by David M, and Malcolm Farmer. Elementbox converted 12:08, 23 Jun 2005 by Femto (previous revision was that of 02:15, 18 Jun 2005).
Information Sources[edit]
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Nitrogen. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Nitrogen Statistics and Information,USGS Periodic Table - Nitrogen, from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
Cryogenic History[edit]
It is worh mentioning that Nitrogen was first liquified in 1883 by Wrobleski and Olzewski. (Taken from "Cryogenic Technology" edited by Robert W. Vance, published by John Wiley & sons inc. 1963)
Discovery of nitrogen looks OK
- What was later done with the newly discovered nitrogen
- The Linde process and the large scale production of pure nitrogen by distillation.
- The discovery that nitrogen is lacking in the soils and that fertilizers should contain nitrogen compounds
- Nitrogen fixation of plants and the fixation by the Haber Bosch process is a important part

Scheele discovered nitrogen in the same year as Rutherford.
making it better[edit]
I've read the article. Don't really know it yet, haven't read all the linked articles. Haven't read much outside.
I can't believe there was so much tire nitrogen chatter on this page. I'm an inclusionist, but that just sounds...off. Even if it's done and even if effective, seems pretty minor. Unless we find it has large economic magnitude, would cut that.
Also monster drinks (ref 40) is going bye bye.
Next step after that is I will read Greenwood. Then Shriver. Then Cotton (basic and advanced).
At some point, I need to copyedit it (the process forces me to read closer).
Org seems decent, better than Chlorine. But I may want to make it closer to the standard WikiProject Elements sections.
Also, need to think about illustration.
220.127.116.11 (talk) 04:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- Agree. That stuff about tires and drinks was done by people who think of nitrogen as gas, and the gas as the pure stuff. Of course, all that's very minor. Pure nitrogen gas is used mainly to keep oxygen out. Nitrogen compounds are used in fertilizers, war chemicals, and of course very widely in biology and medicine. Nitrogen is one of those things that is everywhere dispite being quite uncommon in the Earth's crust and quite hard to get out of the atmosphere. SBHarris 05:21, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Any thoughts on the layout? I sort of like the idea of non-chemical text at the start, but then I also wonder if we should hew closer to the Project Elements style (or Fluorine layout) and have a section on properties at the front. The eutrophication could be handled in an environmental section also. Not trying to push any standardization, just opening discussion...
220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:48, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- Fluorine does it by starting with physical characteristics, then universe origin/abundance/ocurrance, then human history/etymology. Almost any of these three could be used as a first topic after the lede (which of course has to have everything).
If you start "at the beginning" does that mean literally in chronology, and is that the beginning in time, or the beginning in terms of human history? Or does "the beginning" of "what there is to know" about an element, connected with what the stuff looks and feels like at standard temperature and pressure? And is that true even if few people ever encounter it that way? How many people have seen fluorine in pure state, vs. say, gold or copper.
I've only resisted trying to have a universal template for all the elements, since it seems to me that the usual dictim to present the reader knowledge he/she is most likely to want to know FIRST, probably varies from element to element. For some elements we know what they look like and are used for (gold, for example) and are looking for other information. For others elements like gallium or neodymium, even these basics may be mysterious to the average person and so should be discussed earlier. Likewise, some elements have been known so long (even as native elements) that they have wooly histories and etymolgies that have been lost in time. Think of carbon, iron, and sulfur. Others are so new that we know exactly who discovered and named them. Some elements have universe origin and abundance that stands out as one of their most noticiable subtopics (hydrogen, helium, and perhaps neon). One can also argue that you want to know the physical properties of each element (in the pure form) first of all-- but is that really true? Some elements are almost never seen in their pure form or rarely used that way (bromine and fluorine, and some rare earths), so this stuff can wait. Also, there are elements for which discussion of properties of the pure element segues more naturally AFTER the discovery section. Oddly, I think fluorine is one of these, but the authors there have decided to put its properties (which are rather esoteric and not economically nearly as important) up front, there. Some things are not worth arguing.
For all the elements I've tried to keep their biological connection at the end (end of the lede, end of the article), just because life is very complicated and it seems to work better if we save it for last, after we have reviewed as much as possible about the element in every other context. Of course this section is much longer for some elements like C,H,N,O,Ca,P, than it is for the next two dozen elements that are perhaps actively used in some organisms, and finally to the thers that are either active toxins or just bystanders (most but not all inert gases-- xenon is an anesthetic as are also Ar and Kr at pressure!). Anyway, if all this stuff looks nonuniform, it's not because we haven't thought about it. It's rather that the answer is not the same for hydrogen and helium as for silver and gold (say). Or terbium and plutonium.
In any case, I'm open to fixes with nitrogen. Try one way, then another. It seems to me that the history of nitrogen use breaks naturally at the 20th century when scientists learned to artificially fix it, and it became the major player in war and peace that we know it as, today. But all of that is history of nitrogen compounds. Nitrogen as an element is almost an inert gas until it happens to contact lightening, nitrogenases, or human nitrogen fixation technology (which again is only about a century old). So it has a double role that can resist fluid transitions in writing. SBHarris 19:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
1. I am strongly in agreement at resisting a universal template for your same reasons.
2. Talk to me a little more about fluorine. What would be your preferred order then? Give me the whole rundown. I looove the idea of having more engaging text to keep the English majors in the game. would you go:
- history
- occurrence
- characteristics
- compounds
- industry
- bio
- hazards
- enviro
3. Thanks. On Nitrogen, I really want to do what you said (try different structures). It's how I learn and engage. Just was trying to avoid version control struggles or the like (is easier to play with something when writing on your own).
188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:00, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
fluorine org[edit]
How about occurrence/history/characteristics as an order? After all the properties of the savage beast were not well known until after Moissan isolated it, so why not have it right after? (I will have to work on layout as well, the pics versus the infobox and all that.)184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:25, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
History and Etimology[edit]
The etimology of Nitrogen is not correct, what is reported is a mixture of fantasy and chemistry knowledge, but it is not the right etimology of the word "Nitrogen". It comes literally from the ancient term "Neutro-genus", which means "generator of the Neutro force", distinguished from the "Oxy-genus",generator of the "Active-force" (oxy= from the greek "sharp,the effect of fire,corrosion") and from the "Hydro-genus", generator of the "Passive-force"(Hydros=water, opposed to fire, principle of passivity). It is more complex than i'm able to explain, but in a few words that's the question.

Hi, we love the new WOW. We have one question. can you remove or make smaller the border around the picture? If so how? Thanks!
Hello! I saw your demo of the book and I would like to replicate that. I was able to add images and it looked like the book. How do I get the feature of having two images? One on the left page and the other on the right page?
Hello Sir/Madam, I want to call my custom taxonomy with wow slider. Can it possible with some custom changes? Thanks
I am experimenting with WOWSlider to see if it will work for us and then will buy the paid version. This is essential: To use WOWSlider we need to be able to upload to our shopping cart's directories via FTP over SSL.
I purchased this software some time ago. I've inserted it into new site. Now my WOWslider does not work smoothly in Firefox or Internet Explorer. Can you take a look and give me the fix as soon as possible? Thanks.
When i upload one wowslider slideshow onto the site it works fine. But when i upload a second slideshow it changes the script.js code in the first one.
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I've followed the instructions and a grey screen with dots and no code comes up. i attached a pic so you can see what comes up.
Hi, Can i use this slider and reference the image location to a URL and not something that is in a folder? Thank you
Hello! How are you? Please, send me more wowslider demo. Thank you.

We are so glad you stopped by our site! We pray that you would be encouraged and refreshed by the music the Lord has given us.
Our Journey
We met in 1996 at a church in downtown Nashville, Tennesse. Alberto came from Santiago, Chile, and Kimberly had just moved from Cookeville, Tennessee. As we began our friendship, we saw that the Lord had given us the same heart of passion for the Presence of God. We then began our journey of exploring the realm of spontaneous songs in worship. Our frienship developed, so we were married in August 9th of 1997.
We so treasure the songs that the Lord has given us, as they came forth in live settings out of our journey of pursuing the presence of the Lord with people of the same desire to know Him more deeply.
We currently reside in Franklin, Tennessee and we also do some traveling in which we demonstrate what the Lord is teaching us concerning the ways of His Presence. We want to see the church saturated with the atmosphere and sound of Heaven!
We believe that this generation is destined to tap into those fresh sounds and release them here on earth. We believe that when Heaven's atmosphere is experienced, we will see the manifest presence of the Lord released in greater power and miraculous demonstration.
We believe that a new kind of music is coming--music of which the sole purpose is to be a conduit for God's presence!
In this day and age, the main emphasis in the music industry is on the artist, the style, the craftsmanship of the songs, the musicians or the quality of the recordings. While these things are important from an earthly vantage point, they are not really all that important from an eternal perspective. We love to release music that will point to Jesus and not merely to the artists or to the music itself. We believe that "Presence" music will be the only thing that will satisfy the hunger and desperation that is intensifying in the hearts of mankind for the Presence of the Lord, and will be instrumental in ushering in a revival that will sweep across the nations!

A Quad City boy who helped reunite two siblings, separated as children, is getting a moment in the spotlight for his efforts. Eddie Hanzelin was mugging for the camera with Whoopi Goldberg and other hosts of the talk show, "The View" Tuesday while getting ready to appear on the show.
Eddie is getting special attention for helping Clifford Boyson of Davenport find his long-lost sister, Betty Billadeau. The siblings were sent to different foster homes as small children growing up in Chicago. They searched for one another over the years, but it wasn't until eight-year-old Eddie searched for Betty on facebook, that the siblings were able to finally meet and TV-6 was there for the reunion. The young man, who is family is friends with Clifford Boyson, says he just wanted help.
"I went to facebook, typed in Boyson. A whole bunch of pictures that showed up and one of them looked like Clifford," Eddie said.
From there the family sent Betty's daughter a message--one she had secretly been hoping for.
"My whole life I always knew the story of her two brothers she didn't know, so that's when I set up her facebook page. That's why I put Betty Boyson Billadeau, because I always had hope she would be able to find him," said Betty's daughter, Sarah Billadeau.
Now Clifford Boyson will get to know the family he's spent 65 years looking for and found in Missouri.
"He is already calling me sis' so that makes me feel good," said Betty Billadeau.
"I am excited as can be. I just have no words," Clifford Boyson added.
As for Eddie, he says he has learned a life lesson about helping others and it feels, "very, very, very good."
His appearance on The View airs on ABC Friday, Jan. 25 at 10 a.m.

Seeds Cool In Colombia
Published February 15, 2010 12:00
BOGOTÁ, Colombia - The seeds made a seamless start at the XVIII Copa BBVA Colsanitas on Monday, with all four who were in action winning through to the second round of the first clay court event of the 2010 season.
First through was No.3 seed Sara Errani of Italy, who beat Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus, 60 64. Sixth-seeded Czech Sandra Zahlavova also advanced over Alexandra Panova in straight sets, although No.5 seed Angelique Kerber needed three to get past Sharon Fichman, as did No.8 seed Arantxa Parra Santonja, who defeated Olga Savchuk after dropping the first set tie-break.
Unseeded winners included Czech Petra Cetkovska, who edged 18-year-old Peruvian wildcard Bianca Botto in two tight sets, 64 75; and Romania's Edina Gallovits, who breezed past 2006 champion Lourdes Domínguez Lino of Spain, 62 61.
The qualifying competition was also completed on Monday, with Corinna Dentoni, Kristina Antoniychuk, Greta Arn and Laura Pous Tio securing main draw berths.
Top seed and 2009 runner-up Gisela Dulko - South America's highest-ranked player - makes her first appearance on Tuesday. The Argentinean world No.35 plays Mathilde Johansson of France. Paraguayan touring mom Rossana de los Ríos also plays her opening round match, against Masa Zec Peskiric of Slovenia, while Colombian favorite Catalina Castaño takes on fourth seed Polona Hercog.

Two New Endorsements: Interfaith Worker Justice And CWA777
November 9, 2011 in Endorsement
The list of endorsements of Occupy Denver continues to grow. Communication Workers of America Local 7777 has endorsed Occupy Denver as has Interfaith Worker Justice.
Here's the Interfaith Worker Alliance on facebook. And here's CWA7777. Please take the time to learn more about their organizations and thank them for their support.
From the Interfaith Worker Alliance:
C/O Rev. Daniel Klawitter
140 Sheridan Blvd. Denver, CO 80226.
The Interfaith Worker Justice Committee of Colorado was formed in 2007 to provide a faithful witness to the struggles of working people in the State of Colorado. Whether it has been standing with union janitors trying to improve their working conditions in downtown Denver or helping to pass a Pay Day Lending law that caps the interest Pay Day stores in Colorado can charge their low-income customers, we have strived to be a religious voice in solidarity with those committed to a more just economic order.
It is this commitment that leads us to publicly support the right of the Occupy Denver protesters to express their dissatisfaction with "business as usual" in our country and our city. We condemn efforts to silence their voices and disrupt their community.
Occupy Denver protesters should be allowed to continue to peacefully exercise their right to democratically assemble together, engage in mutual dialog, and voice their concerns. And we call on all people of faith to lend humanitarian support in solidarity with Occupy Denver's best aspirations.
As Kim Bobo, Executive Director of Interfaith Worker Justice in Chicago has stated: "People of faith may not all agree with or even understand everything the Wall Street protestors are saying. But these protests are a teachable moment. They are giving congregations an opportunity to talk together about how we can help families hurt by this economy."
In Solidarity,
The Leadership Team of IWJ-Colorado.
Rev. Daniel Klawitter, chairperson and United Methodist Deacon.

PLAYERS: Brandon Marshall
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
TEAMS: Chicago Bears
Before the 2012 NFL season kicked off if someone were to tell Chicago Bears fans that their team would be 7-2 and in first place in the NFC North heading into Week 11 most would have been more than satisfied. Such a record would validate all the offseason transactions the Bears made but more importantly, the team would be better than the Green Bay Packers. Oh but what a funny thing the NFL is. With 10 weeks of the regular season behind us the Chicago Bears are indeed 7-2 and atop the NFC North, but none of the remainder of the above scenario bares any truth. The Bears offense is downright pathetic and it makes no sense. For starters the addition of WR Brandon Marshall and RB Michael Bush was supposed to bring a new dynamic to the Bears offense. Marshall was to be the big downfield playmaker that Chicago has been missing ever since they traded for Jay Cutler, and Bush would combine with Matt Forte to form a thunder and lightning type duo in the backfield. But after nine games, I'm not impressed.… Read more

Police search for missing Texas A&M receiver Thomas Johnson
College Station, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Police have launched a massive search operation for Texas A&M freshman receiver Thomas Johnson, who was reported missing since Monday.
According to the University Police Department, Johnson was last seen leaving his residence in College Station around 6 p.m. ET Monday.
"I'm asking anyone … anyone … to just provide any piece of information," his mother, Linda Hanks, said outside her South Dallas home.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Johnson has caught 30 passes for 339 yards and a touchdown in 10 games, including two starts, this season.
It was reported that Hanks visited Johnson last week, then received a text Monday that he had missed class and practice.
"If I could transfer some of the faith I have in God to Thomas — to let him know how much I love him, and others are so supportive of him and love him, too," Hanks said. "I'm asking God to do that right now, to touch him in a special way.
In a statement, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin expressed the team and the school's concern for Johnson's welfare.
"All of us are obviously very concerned about the safety and well-being of Thomas Johnson, who has been missing since Monday evening," Sumlin said in the statement. "Authorities are working closely with his family, friends and law enforcement agencies to help locate him."
"Thomas is a tremendous student-athlete, greatly admired by his fellow teammates and all of us on the coaching staff. If anyone has any current information about him or knows of his whereabouts, please contact his family or law enforcement authorities immediately. We pray for his quick and safe return," Sumlin added.
Texas A&M freshman defensive back De'Vante Harris also sought help on his Twitter account Wednesday to find his cousin Thomas.
"Everybody help please find my cousin Thomas. If y'all find out anything, please call police," Harris tweeted.
The police department said he was last seen wearing a black jacket, black shorts and gray shoes, and that he might have traveled to the Dallas area.
Authorities said anyone with information on Johnson's whereabouts should contact UPD at (979) 845-2345.

Davids Bridal
I had a tough time with Davids Bridal and their customer service. They even lost my dress for 5 weeks on a rack in the alterations dept. just weeks before my wedding. The compensated me with a free preservation kit but I was still dissatisfied. All in all I loved my dress and the preservation service was quick and easy. I would recommend them because they have a nice selection and their prices are reasonable. I ended up getting the Bridesmaid dresses there too. As well as my undergarments and shoes. It was convenient. I wish they were more professional overall.

I found Jason's website from a review on an other site. He came highly recommended and was easy to work with. We love the photos and the quality of our pictures. I do wish we had more of a guideline or instruction on how to pose and such. We realized we missed a lot of photos that we really wanted to take. For example, we didnt get more than 3 of just Bridal portraits. And there are no pictures of each of my Bridesmaids with me alone. We have tons of group photos but none individual with each person. Also, we do not have any of just my parents and I. I love Jason and the work he did though. I would highly recommend him. I just wish we had a checklist of sorts with ideas for the pictures we wanted to be sure to take.

The church is beautiful. It was just something I found online and went to check it out. The event coordinator Josh Holmes, was helpful the entire way through. We didnt even know until the day of the Rehearsal that we had someone assigned to set up the rehersal run through and coordinate the wedding day for us. The location is breathtaking and there is ample parking. It couldnt have been better. We were married in front of the water fountain and it was perfect.

I had them play for the ceremony and an hour and a half into the reception. They were professional and showed up just as scheduled. The only issue I had was they demanded payment from my Mother before they would leave. I had paid them just as the contract stated two weeks prior to the event and had confirmed with them they had received the payment before the wedding. They were apologetic but it was still a bit stressful and uncalled for.

[click to read Part I and Part III of my 'Stripped' series]
"[...] Don't you realize that a nose like mine is both scepter and orb, a monument to my superiority? A great nose is the banner of a great man, a generous heart, a towering spirit, an expansive soul – such as I unmistakably am and such as you dare not to dream of being. [...] With your face as lacking in all distinction as lacking, I say, in interest, as lacking in pride, in imagination, in honesty, in lyricism [...]"
A misplaced glance upon a mirror tilted at just the right angle around my twelfth birthday awoke me to the reality of my profile. The slight relief permanently visible to me on the inner lower corner of my right eye was in effect, monstrously visible from outside of my own body. This patch of pink lodged in my peripheral vision was no mere imperfection, a blip in the story of my face. This was a geographical landmark, a hunchback lodged between my cheeks. It was, in effect, a statement.
Rendition of a scene from Gogol's 'The Nose'
The mental image I had of myself contained no such imperfections. I could not reconcile my face with this olfactory apparatus, and in my child's fertile imagination my dreams fell nothing short of a Gogolian concoction. Something needed to be done.
The conditions were perfect. Puberty was settling in, my insecurities were just at the right level: not enough to qualify me for twice-a-week psychotherapy and not subdued enough to make me feel empowered by my own faults. The fact remained, there was something gravely wrong with my appearance and it was staring at me straight in the face, clinging to its centre in fact, claiming the land of my face all to itself.
No wonder I felt like my nose was deforming my face. The nose doesn't only determine the centre of our faces, it is essential in determining its shape. As fetuses, our faces grow forward and downward under the pull and thrust of the septal cartilage, which expands its vertical length sevenfold between the 10th and 40th weeks after conception. When we are born, our nasal cavities are located almost entirely between our orbits, but until the age of six, the growth of the nasal cartilage pushes the nasal cavity floor below the orbits. This expansion encourages the separation of the various sutures of the facial skeleton apart, thus bringing shape to our human faces.
When I finally voiced my grave concerns about my nasal handicap, my mother, a small-framed woman bursting with warmth and compassion, advised me not to shun the nose shape the great ancient Romans held to such a high esteem. What I had was not a deformity, it was beauty in an odd shape, and this beauty had a name: Aquiline.
I was momentarily enthused, but the fact remained that the Romans were long gone and I had never seen any Italians with a nose like mine. Acquired not by choice but rather brutally imposed upon my face in a frontal bone collision with a fast moving child down a snow-covered slope in the 80's, this so-called Aquiline nose would not do. From the onset our noses are the most prominent parts of our human faces. This explains why 23 to 63% of all childhood fractures are of the nasal sort. When left untreated, these fractures can lead to nasofacial disproportions with growth, and because puberty is a time of rapid growth for the nose, this is when it became obvious to me. This nose was not meant to be mine. This was no Aquiline nose, this was a broken nose.
I then turned to my father, a pragmatic with a very big passion for harmony of shapes and colours, and with a very meticulous but gentle and caring eye, who suggested minor corrective surgery. I nodded away. Appointments were booked and off I went to submit my nose to the scrutiny of several white-coated gentlemen whose stiff but polite fingertips danced around my nasal septum – who, it turns out, was deviated – and its fleshy frame. Pictures were taken, and photoshop renditions of my nose submitted for parental approval. In front of me dangled printouts of their interpretation of Anna's nose, a promise of what it could be, a true masterpiece.
CT scan of a deviated septum
There are two types of nasal surgery that can be performed: the septoplasty and the rhinoplasty. If a septoplasty is meant to correct defects and deformities of the nasal septum (the partition between the nostrils), a rhinoplasty is meant for issues of the aesthetic order and is performed to reshape or resize the nose. I went to specialists in both areas (in an overcrowded hospital basement and a fancy uptown private office, respectively), but because the repairs I needed had elements of medical proportions (my deviated septum did and does cause some difficulty breathing), we settled on the septoplasty.
This procedure lasts about 60 to 90 minutes and is meant to straighten the nasal septum – the wall between the nostrils that separates the two nasal passages. It is made of thin bone in the back and cartilage in the front, supporting the nose and directing airflow.
The procedure can be broken down into 3 steps. First, an incision is made inside the nose and the flesh is separated from both sides of the septum so that the cartilage is left standing loose in the midline of the nose. The deviated portion of the cartilage is then physically removed from inside the nose, and finally, the separated flesh is joined again at the midline.
Steps involved in a septoplasty
But I never submitted my nose to such probings.
I wasn't going to be into boys until 4 years from then, and I already had all the friends I needed. Maria, was adamant that my nose gave me character and if I changed it I might not recognize myself anymore. Mariana told me that whoever decided to like me would like the whole of me, including my oddly shaped protuberances, and Angela thought it different and full of personality – she said it was 'very me'.
I gave myself puberty to think about it – much to the support of both my parents – and by the time my breasts arrived and the acne subsided, I had aptly grown into this nose of mine. I was as imperfect and crooked as it was and I recognized myself in its contortions and deviations. I felt like an unconventional lady, and this unconventional nose vertically advertised this across my face. Yes, it was a statement indeed.
I left it alone and at 19, I had it pierced.
Come mirrors, come cameras with their impertinent angles, I'll flaunt this lyrical Aquiline nose for all to admire. This 'Cape Roca' of my body, this promontory projecting into the world before my eyes, preceding me in every direction and enduring the impact of life's blows, needs not be fixed. It needs to be celebrated and be paid homage, as it was, after all, in its glorious asymmetry that I found the inspiration for being me.

Anthony Stephen Fauci (born December 24, 1940) is an immunologist who has made substantial contributions to HIV/AIDS research and other immunodeficiencies, both as a scientist and as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Education and career[edit]
Anthony Stephen Fauci was born on December 24, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, to Stephen A. Fauci, a pharmacist, and Eugenia A. Fauci, a homemaker.[1] He graduated from Regis High School in New York City. He went on to attend the College of the Holy Cross and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1966. He then completed an internship and residency at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.[2]
In 1968, he came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (LCI) in NIAID. In 1974, he became Head of the Clinical Physiology Section, LCI, and in 1980 was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, a position he still holds. In 1984, he became Director of NIAID, which has the responsibility for an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research on infectious and immune-mediated illnesses.
He played a significant role in creating the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.[3]
Medical achievements[edit]
Fauci has made a number of basic scientific observations that contribute to the current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response, and is recognized for delineating the mechanisms whereby immunosuppressive agents adapt to the human immune response. He has developed therapies for formerly fatal diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. In a 1985 Stanford University Arthritis Center Survey of the American Rheumatism Association membership ranked the work of Fauci on the treatment of polyarteritis nodosa and Wegener's granulomatosis as one of the most important advances in patient management in rheumatology over the previous 20 years.[4]
Fauci has made influential contributions to the understanding of how HIV destroys the body's defenses leading to the progression to AIDS. He also has outlined the mechanisms of induction of HIV expression by endogenous cytokines. Fauci has played an important role in developing strategies for the therapy and immune reconstitution of patients with this disease, as well as for a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. His current research is concentrated on identifying the nature of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of HIV infection and the scope of the body's immune responses to HIV.
In 2003, the Institute for Scientific Information indicated that Fauci was the 13th most-cited scientist during the twenty year period from 1983 to 2002.[5] He was the ninth most-cited scientist in immunology in the period January 1993 to June 30, 2003.[2]
Fauci is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute of Medicine (Council Member), the American Philosophical Society, and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, as well as other numerous professional societies including the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Association of Immunologists. He serves on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; as an editor of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine; and as author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,000 scientific publications, including several textbooks.[6]
Awards and honors[edit]
- 2014 Prince Mahidol Award
- 2013 Robert Koch Gold Medal
- 2008 Presidential Medal of Freedom
- 2007 Lasker Award (shared with Ralph M. Steinman and Alain F. Carpentier, Albert Starr)
- 2005 National Medal of Science
- Dr. Steinman and Dr. Fauci each received $150,000 ---- Dr. Carpentier and Dr. Starr each received $75,000.[7]
- 2002 Albany Medical Center Prize
- 1995 Ernst Jung Prize (shared with Samuel A. Wells, Jr.) [8]
- 1979 Arthur S. Flemming Award
Fauci has been a visiting professor at many medical centers, and has received 30 honorary doctorate degrees from universities in the United States and abroad.[6]

Fiscal Reform
The world economy must be held accountable by a majority power in order to spark change in borrowing practices. The deficits being created worldwide are becoming such radical amounts that have zero impact on those working to minimize spending practices. Governments have reached a point of no return, and budgetary responsibility is at an all time low. So the real question stands, who will take up the charge for reform, if not our own elected officials?

Tokyo will host Web Directions East, part of the Australian conference series covering everything from design to back-end development.
In November, Tokyo will be host to Web Directions East, part of the Web Directions conference series started in Australia in 2004 covering everything from design to back-end development.
The event organizers, including our good friend Yasuhisa, has gathered up some of the biggest names in American and European web design, a rare treat for Tokyo. I'm personally most interested in seeing Jeffrey Veen, an ex-Adaptive Path web designer, who made a brief stop at Google to lead the redesign of one of the most visually beautiful Google interface and one that we use everyday, Google Analytics.
At around ¥35,000 a day, Web Directions isn't a steal, but considering the airplane tickets it usually takes to see this caliber show, they should have no trouble filling seats.
Hope to see you there!
Project announcements, interviews and essays on design, typography, and the Japanese web.

With the 2011 Rugby World Cup approaching fast, one of our clients – Caritas decided to compare the various countries participating on a different scale than sporting ability – social equality… interesting results.
Great artwork supplied and an open brief for the design, I'm pretty happy with the end result.

Multiple Widget Areas in WordPress
As I develop more and more themes, the benefits of using widgets are obviously apparent, not just when developing WordPress themes for a 'pure' blog but as an easy way for clients to update websites when I have created more of a CMS theme for them. Plus many useful plugins come only in widget form, rather than having the ability to insert code into templates.
The problem I came up against is many themes I have picked apart and analysed came with only one widget area. In reality you often need two or more widget enabled areas. Here for my future reference and yours is some code snippets that will easily allow you to have as many widget areas as you want or need.
The first file we want to look at is functions.php We want to register these widget enabled areas so they appear in the WordPress administration area. All we need to do is add the following code to our functions.php file
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'widget area',
'before_widget' => '
',
'after_widget' => '
',
'before_title' => '
',
'after_title' => '
',
Where we have: register_sidebar(array('name'=>'widget area',
'widget area' is the name of our new widget. It could be 'footer widget area', it could be 'banner adverts' whatever is appropriate.
You will see some html there as well to wrap our widget in, pretty straight forward.
Step two is as simple as opening up the template that you want this new widget area to appear on, locating the div you would like it to appear and then pasting this code:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('widget area') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Again nice and straight forward, just replace 'widget area' with the name of the widget area you created. Log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the widget area and customise away. After that it is just a case of rinse and repeat, add as many individually named widget areas as you like.

Copernicia prunifera
Copernicia prunifera "Carnauba Wax Palm" Natural Habitat: Naturally found in low-lying seasonally flooded areas along rivers and lakes of northeastern Brazil. It can also be found planted on large Brazilian farms where the palms are grown for the wax that is harvested off the leaves. Description: A tall solitary palm that can reach heights over 50 feet tall in habitat, but tends to grow much shorter in cultivation usually reaching heights around 30 feet tall. The C. prunifera is similar in appearance to the more common Copernicia alba. The palms most distinguishable trait of this palm is the powdery white wax that covers the leaves. The large deeply segmented fan leaves can be variable in color, ranging from yellowish green to greenish-blue, depending on leaf color and the amount of wax that develops. The trunk is usually covered with old gray leaf bases that spiral as they run up the trunk. As the palms ages the oldest bases may begin to fall off around the middle of the trunk leaving behind a smooth gray trunk. The wax that grows on the leaves can be harvested by carefully scarping it off. In Brazil, companies use the wax to make a wide variety of products including polishes and makeup. Environment: The C. prunifera enjoys a sunny area where it can get regular moisture. Since the petioles are armed with dangerous teeth it should be planted with away from walk ways or high traffic areas. A true water lover, the C. prunifera benefits from heavy watering and can be planted in low areas that commonly flood. Once established the C. prunifera can be drought tolerant. It is also cold hardy to the high 20's and can survive mild frosts and freezes with minimal damage. Zones 9b-11.

Walter E. Williams: Our nation's founders distrusted Congress
By Walter E. Williams
Recent opinion polls demonstrate a deepening distrust of the federal government. That's not an altogether bad thing. Our nation's founders recognized that most human abuses are the result of government.
As Thomas Paine said, "government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil." Because of their fear of abuse, the Constitution's framers sought to keep the federal government limited in its power. Their distrust of Congress is seen in the governing rules and language used throughout our Constitution. The Bill of Rights is explicit in that distrust, using language such as Congress shall not abridge, shall not infringe and shall not deny and other shall-nots, such as disparage, violate and deny. If the framers did not believe that Congress would abuse our God-given, or natural, rights, they would not have provided those protections. I've always suggested that if we see anything like the Bill of Rights at our next destination after we die, we'll know that we're in hell. A perceived need for such protection in heaven would be an affront to God. It would be the same as saying we can't trust him.
Other framer protections from government are found in the Constitution's separation of powers, checks and balances, and several anti-majoritarian provisions, such as the Electoral College, the two-thirds vote to override a veto and that two-thirds of state legislatures can call for reconvening the constitutional convention, with the requirement that three-quarters of state legislatures ratify changes to the Constitution.
Missouri legislators recently enacted the Second Amendment Preservation Act, which in part reads that not only is it the right of the state Legislature to check federal overreaching but that "the Missouri general assembly is duty-bound to watch over and oppose every infraction of those principles which constitute the basis of the Union of the States, because only a faithful observance of those principles can secure the nation's existence and the public happiness." The bill further declares that the Missouri General Assembly is "firmly resolved to support and defend the United States Constitution against every aggression, either foreign or domestic." The legislation awaits Gov. Jay Nixon's signature or veto.

If you look into the history of the Toyota brand, the Land Cruiser has been around for more than half a century. It has long proven how capable it is on whatever terrain you throw at it. Where a Range Rover would fall apart, crying out for for maintenance, the Land Cruiser would continue to do its job. When it comes to reliability, the Japanese sure do have some secret formula.
For the 2013 model year, Toyota gave the Land Cruiser a mild makeover. New styling elements were added upon an already awesome-looking machine. The interior too was overhauled, with more standard features than before, while a rather potent V-8 engine provided the muscle required to take on the worst of rugged terrains. Added safety features and driver aides all made it easy to drive.
For 2014, Toyota has made subtle changes to the Land Cruiser . It still boasts the 5.7-liter, V-8 engine and a handsome-looking exterior, but the automaker has now standardized all optional features into one attractive package. So, the 2014 Land Cruiser will be available in just one trim level.

I don't get how it snowed that bad in Foxboro but rained here. I can't remember it snowing that hard this early in the year either. Weird.
MY ****ing PANTHERs suck so hard that the CANCER has spread to mr. Reliable...John Kasey. Thanks for the sour persimmons Jake Delhomme.
what i dont understand about carolina is... they have 2 amazing running backs and yet they tried to throw the ball 44 times this passed sunday against the bills... with 3 INT's... hand the ball to the running backs
Carolina Panthers sticking with Jake Delhomme as No. 1 QB - ESPN
and another notch in the loss column...:umm:
yea... i mean who else do they have?
ESPN Completely Misses Brett Favre Vs. Green Bay Packers Storyline | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
omg did you guys know Favre is playing at Lambeau this weekend?
I am going on record now...since the Jets seem to be commited to Sanchez...and he has no clue how to throw a ball in the swirling Meadowland winds...howzabout someone call Vinnie Testaverde and offer him a qb coach slot? Rex Ryan has a lot of potential as a head coach...but he is guilty of a few rook mistakes. Leaving Sanchez in that Buffalo game is one...not taking him outside to practice with that frikking weather is another. What the hell were you thinking? SoCal qb + East Coast weather = well...7 or 8 interceptions.
hes gotta learn eventually to throw the ball out there hes gonna be there for 6 more years...
on the other hand... jamarcus russell need to sit, but still the raiders have no chance right now, and i love it

DENVER -- New Colorado manager Walt Weiss has talked fellow former Rockies player Dante Bichette into joining him in Denver as the team's hitting instructor.
Bichette was a four-time All-Star and played with Weiss in Colorado during the 1990s. He retired after the 2001 season with a career .299 batting average, 274 homers and 1,141 RBIs.
Bichette spent the last several years coaching his sons, including Dante Bichette Jr., a prospect in the New York Yankees' organization.
Weiss was hired as the Rockies' sixth manager last week, replacing Jim Tracy, who resigned in October after Colorado went 64-98, the worst record in the team's 19-year history.

Unless the Concorde was taken out of mothballs last night, there's no way Kris Humphries is going to appear for a MANDATORY settlement conference with Kim Kardashian today ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with Kris tell us ... he was in NYC at 1 AM today, and looked "extremely upset." As we reported, he's supposed to be in an L.A. court today for a settlement conference and his attendance is required.
The first flight out of JFK today is at 6:00 AM ET, arriving at 9:15 AM PT. Here's the problem. The settlement conference is set for 8:30 AM PT. Even if the flight is on time, he'd be at least 2 hours late.
We checked with JFK to see if flights were cancelled because of weather last night -- maybe Kris could use mother nature as his excuse. But the airport was operating, so it looks like he's screwed.
The judge is going to be REALLY pissed off.
Meanwhile, Kim K is punctual as ever ... she just rolled up to the courthouse.
8:58 AM PT -- As we told you, Kris was a no-show at the hearing.
Mike Walters-Kardashian must write up these posts.
Bull... bull... he is going too be fine. The great lindsay can be late so can he. Got money screw the mandated laws set.
This is such a non story... Still waiting for the Kanye dumped skanky baby momma story.
Next article: 1) Mediation rescheduled or 2) Kim and Kris settle nothing today in mediation. Not major news!
Hey Harvey, is your girl KIMMIE-URINAL-KAKES Trash-Kanian in the courtroom yet?
Serves him right.
People get on with your lives...I guess we have none, when we actually are deciding things , we actually have no idea...He looks like a jerk, people are good and bad, emotions are a hard thing. Thats why you should guard your HEART.. Not just give it away, back off just let her have a nice life..THings I think about when I say..I'm so glad I am not in that business..:):) Peace:):)
I hope it goes to trial and Kim has to testify her relationship with the gossip sites.
I love how tmz bashes this guy but fatass Kim is always in the right. I can't wait for Kim to go down.
Nobody ever said the Hump was smart.
Who's picking the pictures? TMZ hopes the case is thrown out. They don't want it exposed jenner is on paid staff.
Lay off this dude TMZ. From the beginning you've done nothing but try to paint him in a bad light - first he's supposed to be greedy, then stupid, then a man slut, now tardy - with no evidence for any of it. Even IF this is true it must be some innocent mistake on Kris's part since what the hell would he have to gain by skiping something that it's in his best interest to attend? It's hardly as he's Lilo and facing jail time.
Tmz Breath Must smell luke SH!T with all the a$$ kissing they do to that Skank and her family .... Maybe he was require to Attend HarveyJennerSkankTrashian
Kris Humphries' lawyers reportedly intend to force Kim Kardashian to admit under oath that she staged scenes for her show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
The pregnant reality star is "freaking out that she is going to be forced to testify that aspects of the Kardashian reality show are fake," a source told RadarOnline. "Kim has always said how much she loves her fans and viewers."
It emerged in March that the popular E! reality show is less than real. In a leaked deposition, producer Jay Russell revealed that at least two scenes taped after the divorce filing were scripted, that Kardashian used a "tear stick" to cry on the show and that some scenes were even created from scratch.
A source close to Humphries said he is looking forward to his day in court.
"Kris has been absolutely trashed by the Kardashians in the press," the insider told Radar. "He has taken the high road and never spoken negatively about Kim, or her family, despite the hell they have put him through."
Humphries is seeking an annulment because he feels his 72-day marriage was a fraud. Kardashian denies defrauding the NBA player and wants a divorce granted instead. Their trial is scheduled to begin on May 6.

In April, Erica Robertson is going to complete what two terrorist bombers wouldn't let her finish last year.
Robertson was four miles from the end of the 2013
Boston Marathon when she and other runners were stopped because of
the explosion of two bombs at the finish line of the historic race.
Robertson did accomplish one goal in her curtailed run.
She raised $11,000 for medical research into
Rett syndrome, a disease that has afflicted her 7-year-old daughter, Avery.
The 25-member
Team Rett, of which Robertson is a member, raised $128,000 despite the shortened race, surpassing its goal of $100,000.
This year, Robertson will run the marathon again, this time with her husband, Ryan. So far, the couple has raised more than $6,000 for Rett syndrome research and treatment.
Robertson, a Pleasant Hill resident, said he is excited both to run the entire 26.2-mile course as well as get another opportunity to raise money for medical research.
"I'm going to be so pumped up," said Robertson. "I'm so ready to get there."
Robertson's journey began in April 2012 when she saw other parents involved in fundraising for Rett syndrome run the marathon and raise money.
Robertson has been involved in local efforts such as the
annual Strollathon in Moraga, but she saw the Boston Marathon as a way to earn more money and get the word out.
"Saying you're running the Boston Marathon is a great conversation starter," she said.
Robertson had run a few 5K races, but she admits she didn't like running before she started training for the marathon. Now, she's semi-addicted.
Robertson ran the
Healdsburg Half-Marathon in October 2012 and then bumped up her training to prepare for Boston.
She got her official race number that month and admits it set her nerves on edge.
"It was then I got really scared," she said.
Robertson continued to push herself to get in shape. She said her motivation is always her daughter.
"My inspiration to run is always Avery," said Robertson. "The struggles she faces daily are nothing compared to 26.2 miles."
Race day finally came in April 2013. Robertson said the excitement in the athlete's village near the starting line was incredible.
"It was just a blow-out experience," said Robertson. "I thought, this is the coolest thing I'm ever going to do."
Crowds line the streets the entire 26 miles for the Boston Marathon. Robertson said she couldn't believe people were still out there cheering so long after the lead runners went by.
Then, when she got a few miles from the finish, she saw a runner crying while talking to a soldier. She saw any crying competitor speaking with a police officer.
Then, she got a text from her husband saying to call him immediately. Ryan Robertson told his wife about the explosions and that the rest of the race was being called off.
Robertson came to the police roadblock at mile 22.
"I couldn't comprehend what was going on," she said. "I thought that after all the training and traveling and planning I wasn't going to finish. Are you kidding me?"
Robertson's husband found her walking back toward downtown Boston. The mood became more somber after they learned of the deaths and the injuries.
It took the couple two hours to reach their friend's hotel. After staying there awhile, they headed over to their room. That's when it hit Robertson.
"I said I'm coming back next year. I want to finish," she remembered.
The following month, the
Boston Athletic Association announced that any runner that had completed at least 13 miles of the 2013 race
would be allowed to compete in the 2014 marathon.
Robertson signed up. So did a 25-member Team Rett.
Robertson continued to train. She ran the Healdsburg Half Marathon again last October.
Her husband, an Orinda native and a former baseball player at U.C. Berkeley, started training last fall and will join her.
"I have to finish," Robertson repeated. "I have to get there."
