Feds Waste $3.8 Million to 'Decrease Human-Elephant Conflict'
The federal government is looking into the serious issue of the "conflict" between humans and elephants. To help out on that important issue, the government generously gave $3.8 million of your tax dollars to study the matter.
The princely sum was awarded in 2011 and 2012 for the African Elephant Conservation grant and was sent to "any African government agency responsible for African elephant conservation and protection and any other organization or individual with demonstrated experience in African elephant conservation."
Despite the millions offered, the federal government assured our African partners that no documentation or credentials were required to apply for the grant.
As CNSNews reports, the grant objectives were "to provide financial assistance to support projects that will enhance sustainable conservation programs to ensure effective, long-term conservation of African elephants."
More is coming for 2013, despite the sequester that the President said would shut down the government.
This wasn't the only helping hand that the federal government lent to efforts in foreign lands. In 2012, the feds also laid out $200 million for a reality TV show in India in order to advertise U.S. cotton products.
Then there was the $30 million that went to help Pakistani Mango farmers.
We shouldn't forget the celebrity chef show in Indonesia that was the happy recipient of $100,000, or the "Rockin' the Kremlin" documentary that got $550,000, or the $702,558 project to bring TV to Vietnamese villages.

Stock futures rise, helped by Cisco results
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Ryan Vlastelica | November 14, 2012 11:28 PM EST
Stock index futures rose on Wednesday, indicating that equities would rebound after a series of weak sessions on strong results from Cisco.
The S&P 500 has fallen 3.8 percent over the past five session, with most of those losses driven by uncertainty over looming U.S. "fiscal cliff" demand and persisting concerns over Europe. The index closed below its 200-day moving average for a fourth day in a row on Tuesday, a technical indicator that suggests recent declines could gain momentum.
Cisco Systems Inc
The results could boost sentiment over the technology sector <.GSPT>, where shares have dropped almost 10 percent in value over the past two months, dragged down by earnings disappointments from key names like Google
Still, macroeconomic issues will likely still play a major role in trading direction as investors continue to grapple with Europe's debt crisis and the fiscal cliff, a series of mandated tax hikes and spending cuts that start to take effect next year.
Analysts say serious fiscal negotiations are still weeks away, but that the failure to reach a deal in Congress could tip the world's largest economy into recession.
S&P 500 futures rose 6.7 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 48 points and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 17.5 points.
European shares <.FTEU3> were 0.5 percent lower as Greece's unresolved debt crisis continued to raise questions about the region's growth potential, while anti-austerity strikes across southern Europe added to concerns that measures to deal with the debt would be politically difficult to implement.
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said on Wednesday she expected a real fix for Greece that included debt sustainability, rather than a quick fix.
October retail sales are on tap for release at 8:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT) and are seen dropping 0.2 percent. In September, sales climbed 1.1 percent. Also, the latest FOMC minutes will be released Wednesday afternoon.

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
The lessons have been wonderful. I think the teacher is great, and I would be willing to recommend him to others if needed.
If your employer requires or recommends that you take a German course in Pittsburgh, our one-on-one German courses are just the thing. The speed of the move from basic business greetings onto more specific matters is determined by the student's progress and needs. Once the beginner level course is over, students should be fairly proficient in working with the telephone or email in German; along with survival German which will get most businessmen and women through a short visit to any German speaking country.
If you are hoping to expand your horizons then there is no better way to do it than with our German courses in Pittsburgh. Don't put your dreams of speaking a second language on hold for any longer. The practical needs of the student are always the course's priority - once the basic elements have been studied, the direction of the course depends on what will be useful for the student. Ideal for those studying for an examination in German as well as people heading abroad for a variety of reasons, our general one-to-one courses cover student-specific subjects as well as survival German, allowing the user to communicate proficiently in German speaking nations.
Of course, we don't all like to learn on our own all of the time. Those German students who want their classes at the same time as someone else haven't been forgotten. They can still learn German in Pittsburgh in the best way possible thanks to our Two-on-One and In-Company Small Group sessions. The students need to be at the same level and be in the same place at the same time for the German classes. They should also all be booked together Language Trainers do not recommend group classes of more than 8 students although we can run In-Company Taster German Courses with up to 12 people.
Having studied Latin & Greek I'm always fascinated by etymology - the study of where words originated. I seem to learn new ones every day... today's is the origin of the word 'gorgeous'.

Russia Close to Sign Su-35 Fighter Deal With China

Russia and China may soon sign a $4-bln contract on the delivery of 48 Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E fighter jets to the Chinese air force, Russia's Kommersant business daily said on Tuesday.
"The sides have practically agreed on the delivery of 48 Su-35 multirole fighters, worth $4 billion, to China," Kommersant said citing a source in the Russian defense industry.
According to the paper, the only obstacle remaining is Moscow's demand that Beijing should guarantee the protection of copyrights on the production of Su-35s without proper licensing.
"Moscow is not only aiming to ensure its presence on the Chinese [combat aircraft] market, but also attempting to prevent the potential copycat production of Russian aircraft for subsequent sales to third parties with predatory pricing," a Russian government source told Kommesant.
China has a record of building advanced combat aircraft based on Russian and other foreign designs, and relied almost entirely on copies of Soviet designs until the Sino-Soviet split in 1960.
4++ generation fighter Su-35S
4++ generation fighter Su-35S
The Chinese Chengdu J-10 fighter is based heavily on the cancelled Israeli Lavi fighter demonstrator, the Shenyang J-11 is a replica of the Su-30 Flanker-C, and the Chinese/Pakistani Chengdu FC-1 iuses Russian engines and other technology from the MiG-29. The J-15 is a Chinese-built derivate of the Sukhoi T-10K-3, a carrier-borne fighter prototype which China acquired from Ukraine.
The Su-35, powered by two 117S engines with thrust vectoring, combines high maneuverability and the capability to effectively engage several air targets simultaneously using both guided and unguided missiles and weapon systems.
The aircraft has been touted as "4++ generation using fifth-generation technology."

If past experience is anything to go by, the Chinese are going to make cheap inferior copies of the Su-35 and sell them indiscriminately.

Often used as a symbol of renewal because it stays green all winter, mistletoe is famed for its stolen-kisses power. But the plant also is important to wildlife, and it may have critical value for humans, too. Extracts from mistletoe have been used in European research studies as a tool in the fight against cancer.
Mistletoe is more than a holiday kiss
The National Wildlife Federation presents these mistletoe facts that offer a new respect for the parasitic plant:
There are 1,300 mistletoe species worldwide. The continental United States and Canada are home to more than 30 species, and Hawaii harbors another six.
Globally, more than 20 mistletoe species are endangered.
All mistletoes grow as parasites on the branches of trees and shrubs. The genus name of North America's oak mistletoe — by far the most common species in the eastern United States — is Phoradendron, Greek for "tree thief."
Ancient Anglo-Saxons noticed that mistletoe often grows where birds leave droppings, which is how mistletoe got its name: In Anglo-Saxon, "mistel" means "dung" and "tan" means "twig," hence, "dung-on-a-twig."
Mistletoe produces sticky seeds that can attach to birds and mammals for a ride to new growing sites. The ripe white berries of dwarf mistletoe, native to the western United States and Canada, also can explode, scattering seeds as far as 50 feet.
When a mistletoe seed lands on a suitable host, it sends out roots that penetrate the tree and draw on its nutrients and water. Mistletoes also can produce energy through photosynthesis in their green leaves.
As they mature, mistletoes grow into thick, often rounded masses of branches and stems until they look like baskets, sometimes called "witches' brooms."
Trees infested with mistletoe die early because of the parasitic growth, producing dead trees useful to nesting birds and mammals. A mistletoe-infested forest may produce three times more cavity nesting birds than a forest lacking mistletoe.

Did Sarah Palin really say that?
"I think the media is loving this because they want to make birthers, as they call people who are just curious about the President of the United States and his background and his associations and his consistency with what he says today versus what he said in both the memoirs that he wrote or Bill Ayers or whomever wrote them—the media is loving the fact that some curious Americans are actually asking the questions. And they're trying to make those curious Americans sound kind of crazy. So the media is loving this issue and they're perpetuating the issue, trying to make it sound really worse than it is."—in an interview with Fox News' Greta van Susteren, April 26, 2011

Wednesday Whining for October 27, 2010
It's that time again. With Boise State's 49-13 victory over Louisana Tech on Tuesday night, the Twitter-verse nearly exploded with both good and bad about the Bronco's performance. It completely overshadowed the long-awaited debut of the Big Three for the Miami Heat.
Boise State led 28-7 at halftime, but many people were very quick to point out that it was "sloppy". Then, Louisana Tech scored a touchdown, making it 28-13 and the Broncos fumbled the ensuing kickoff.
I've never seen one fumble completely destroy a team's season. ESPN college football analyst Mark Schlabach tweeted "It's about the overall body of work and 12-game schedule. If Bama wins out, and Boise State finishes undefeated, I'm voting for Bama". This comment nearly wiped out the entire Twitter server.
This is exactly what the BCS thrives on: talking and analyzing. Always talking, always analyzing. If you put your mind to it, you can put out a case for nearly any team to be included in the BCS title game. But this is what we have. The Debate Team gets to decide the national champion.
In Mark Schlabach's defense, it's not his fault that there are only two slots. Not trying to speak for him, but I think he would be a supporter of an eight or sixteen team playoff. But this is the root of the problem. There's always someone ready to tear down the undefeated team to build up a one-loss team. And don't get easily fooled: this would be happening if all the undefeated teams were BCS conference teams.
It's what we had in 2004. USC, Oklahoma and Auburn were undefeated (plus Utah and Boise State, but who cares about them, right?), and there was much analysis about each team's schedule. Even more so, you had California and Texas "battling" for the final at-large spot, which was ultimately given to No. 5 Texas over No. 4 California. Everything was about who they played, and who their opponents played, and how strong was this team's conference.
I'm certain that I'm preaching to the choir, but the field needs to be where it's decided, not on a radio call-in show. Here's the true reason: College Football FBS is the only place where it is possible for an undefeated person or team to not be the champion.
Think about that. Every single competition you've ever seen on TV, listened to, read about, participated in; none of them, NONE of them have the possibility for an undefeated person or team to be declared the loser….except for the FBS division of college football. How can the BCS try to claim that their system is what's best for college football, when they are the ONLY entity to allow an undefeated team to not be their champion?
The BCS formula is the only redeemable part of this whole travesty. I still think the formula, especially the computer rankings, are suspect because of the wild variations you'll see. Call me naive, but I think that changes once there are 8 or 16 playoff spots. The formula have been refined over the course of the last 13 years, so throwing it completely out would be a waste of time. Use it to seed the teams and use it to choose at-large teams after the conference champions are confirmed.
16 teams. First round games at the home of the higher-seeded team. That should appease the current BCS schools, as they get an extra game to sell $8 beer, $6 hot dogs, and $4 Pepsi. Quarterfinals are at the home of "second-tier" bowls, such as the Outback Bowl (Tampa), Cotton Bowl (Dallas), Gator Bowl (Jacksonville) and Peach Bowl (Atlanta). Maybe the Holiday Bowl instead of the Gator Bowl, so California can have one, instead of two in Florida.
Lower bowls can still stage their game. There will be plenty of above-.500 teams that don't make the playoffs. If Papa John's want to pay two teams to play in Louisville on December 20, then that's their choice. I'm sure ESPN will be there with all the coverage.
It's so simple that even I can think of it in 10 minutes. Of course, that isn't what people want. They would rather argue to a stalemate, rather than come to a definitive conclusion.
More accurately, they would rather not be proven wrong than be proven right.

An assembly (5) has two or more plastic parts joined together. One of the plastic parts (20) has an electrical heating element (31) whose function is to soften a portion of the plastic when the heating element is electrically energized. Once the plastic is softened, the two parts can be separated and the assembly disassembled. When the two parts are joined together with snap-fit joints, the snap-fits have a heating element to soften a portion of the snap-fit (24) when the heating element is electrically energized, thereby allowing the housing to be opened and separated. If the two parts are ultrasonically welded together to form a housing, a heating element is located therein to soften the ultrasonically welded portion (44), thereby allowing the two halves of the housing to be separated. The heating element can be a nichrome or thin film resistor that is energized by a source (33) located within the housing, or by an power source external to the housing, or it may be inductively coupled to the power source.
1. A two piece thermoplastic housing, comprising;
a first housing portion having a protruding part of a thermoplastic snap fit;
a second housing portion having a corresponding mating part of a thermoplastic snap fit;
the protruding part coupled with the mating part to join the first and second housing portions together, forming the two piece thermoplastic housing;
at least one of the snap-fit parts having an integral heating element comprising a thin film resistor to heat and soften a portion of the snap-fit when the heating element is electrically energized, thereby softening the snap fit so that the protruding part uncouples from the mating part, allowing the two housing portions to be separated.
This invention relates in general to mechanical fastening means, and more particularly to fastening means that are used in plastic assemblies that can be easily disassembled.
The impact of manufacturing an obsolete product on the environment has become a significant issue. The materials used in the manufacture of most electronics products consume non-renewable resources such as oil, gas, and metals. At the same time, regulations are restricting exposure to materials used during manufacture because of adverse health effects and the cost associated with waste disposal is increasing. Many municipalities have imposed voluntary recycling programs for plastics that have demonstrated that recycling can have a positive effect on the environment by minimizing the waste and eliminating potentially toxic material in landfills.
Many countries are enacting legislation which requires the manufacturers of electronics equipment to take back and dispose of used products. Similar legislation for battery cells, including non-rechargeable alkaline cells and rechargeable nickel-cadmium cells, is in effect or is being considered in the United States, and manufacturers are now responsible for the final disposition of their products after the useful life. It is not a great stretch of the imagination to assume that companies will one day become responsible for the post consumer disposition of all products.
There are many reasons for recovering used products, such as regulatory, environmental impact, image in the marketplace, acting as a responsible corporate citizen, or simply recovering expensive raw materials. Present technology is heavily weighted to designing the product for ease of manufacturing. This philosophy, known as design for manufacturing (DFM) focuses on ways to make the product easier to assemble, thus making it lower cost. However, this approach often results in a product that is difficult or impossible to recycle, because the product cannot be easily disassembled. Fastening schemes such as ultrasonic welding and snap-fit joints are easy to assemble in the manufacturing facility, and make a rugged, reliable package. The very ruggedness of these fastening schemes also make them impervious to disassembly. For example, ultrasonically welded packages must be sawed in half or otherwise cracked or destroyed in order to open them. Snap-fit joints, the salvation of DFM, are considered to be `one-way` joints, because they are difficult, it not impossible, to open once actuated. In the prior art, snap-fit joints are typically designed to be unseparable, with the force required to separate the two components being a function of the design. When viewed from this new perspective of recovery and recycling, these existing joining methods are not desirable, because they require expensive labor to open the packages. Clearly, a need exists for an improved package design that can be easily and inexpensively disassembled.
Briefly, according to the invention, there is provided an assembly composed of two plastic parts joined together. One of the plastic parts has an electrical heating element whose function is to soften a portion of the plastic when the heating element is electrically energized. Once the plastic is softened, the two parts can be separated and the assembly disassembled.
In one embodiment, the two parts are joined together with snap-fit joints to form a housing. The snap-fits have a heating element to soften a portion of the snap-fit when the heating element is electrically energized, thereby allowing the housing to be opened and separated.
In another embodiment, the two parts are ultrasonically welded together to form a housing. The housing has a heating element located therein to soften the ultrasonically welded portion of the housing when the heating element is electrically energized, thereby allowing the two halves of the housing to be separated.
In still other embodiments, the heating element is a NICHROME resistor that is energized by a source located within the housing, or by a power source external to the housing, and the resistor may be inductively coupled to the power source.
FIG. 1 is an exploded isometric view of two housing halves, each having a portion of a snap fit joint;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a snap fit having a heating element and a power source in accordance with the invention;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional views of other embodiments of snap fits having a heating element and power supply in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 5 is an exploded isometric view of an ultrasonically welded housing having a heating element in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a radio in accordance with the invention.
While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a plastic assembly 5 typically consists of at least two parts or components. A first part 10 is made separately from a second part 12. The two parts are typically joined together to form an assembly. In some cases the physical coupling of the two parts 10, 12 forms a subassembly that is a component of larger assemblies, and in other cases the coupling of the two parts creates a housing. In order to keep the assembly from separating, some means of mechanical fastening is typically employed. Examples of some commonly used fastening means are screws, rivets, snap-fit joints, adhesives, and ultrasonic welding. In all types of fasteners, a certain structure is created in the plastic parts in order to accommodate the threads of the fastening means (the screw or the snap-fit joint). This structure can be created in either of the parts or halves. Snap-fit joints are well known to those skilled in the art, and are a simple, economical, rapid way of joining two different components. There are many types of snap-fit joints, and each has in common the principle that a protruding part 14, e.g., a hook, stud or bead, in one component 12 is temporarily deflected, to catch in a depression or undercut 16 in the mating component 10. After the joining operation, the snap-fit joint typically returns to a stress-free condition. Once the two halves 10, 12 of the housing shown in FIG. 1 are joined together, it is difficult, it not impossible, to separate them without damage, as no means of accessing the snap-fit joints to release them from the outside is provided. Several types of snap joints are commonly used; cantilever snap joints, torsion snap joints and annular snap joints.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a first housing portion 20 has formed thereon a first snap fit 24. A second housing portion 22 has a corresponding second snap fit 26 that is formed so as to mate with the first snap fit 24. The first snap fit 24 has a heating element 31 formed on at least a portion of the snap fit. The heating element 31 is connected to a source of electrical energy or electrical power 33. In many applications such as portable radios or other portable consumer electronic products, the power source 33 will be a battery. However, it can be an external source, such as a regulated power supply. The power source 33 may, alternatively, be located external to the housing, that is, in a separate housing or power supply. If this is the case, it may be connected to the heating element 31 by conventional mechanical coupling, or it may also be inductively coupled to the heating element 31 in order to energize and heat the element. The power supply 33 serves to energize the heating element 31 so as to cause a portion of the snap fit 24 to heat and thereby soften. This occurs because snap fit joints used in the preferred embodiment are made from a thermoplastic material that can be easily softened by heating. The softening temperature will vary depending upon the type of thermoplastic material used.
When the housing member 20 is joined to housing member 22 to form an assembly, snap fit 24 engages with snap fit 26 by deflecting and catching in the opening. In order to disassemble the now joined housing halves 20 and 22 from each other, the heating element 31 is energized by the power source 33. This heats and softens a portion of snap fit 24, thereby allowing the snap fit to be deformed and withdrawn from the corresponding snap fit 26. Various configurations of snap fits and heating elements may be employed, and depending upon how these configurations are arranged, other portions of snap fit 24 may also be heated to the extent that it is softened and melts, thereby allowing housing half 20 to be separated from housing half 22 by actually breaking the beaded portion of snap fit 24. The reader will appreciate that as a portion of snap fit 24 is softened and melted, it can be easily stretched or broken by minimal force applied between housings 20 and 22.
The actual arrangement or configuration of the heating element 31 can take a number of forms. For example, the heating element may be a NICHROME wire that is wrapped in a spiral fashion around the snap fit 24. Another embodiment finds a thick or thin film resistor placed directly on the surface of the snap fit 24, and electrically coupled to the power source 33. Thick film resistors or thin film resistors are well known in the art and their various means of application are also well known.
Alternate configurations of the snap fits and heating elements may be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, where a ball and sleeve configuration is used. In FIG. 3 the heating element 31 is wrapped around the throat or stud of the snap fit 24 so as to soften that portion of the snap fit. In FIG. 4 the heating element 31 is shown as a thick- or thin-film resistor applied to the exterior of the second snap fit 26 which is the portion that receives the first snap fit 24. In this manner the second snap fit 26 is easily softened and deformed, allowing snap fit 24 to be withdrawn and the two housing halves to be thereby separated. One embodiment of the invention uses screws or other types of threaded or riveted fasteners in place of snap fits. In this case, the area where the threaded fastener or screw is connected to the housing would carry the resistive element. When the resistive element is heated and actuated, it softens the area directly underneath it and allows the screw to be withdrawn without having to unscrew it.
FIG. 5 shows an exploding view of two housing halves prior to joining by ultrasonic welding. In this embodiment of the invention, the two housing halves 40 and 42 are joined, for example, by a method of ultrasonically welding them. Ultrasonic welding is another well-known method of joining thermoplastic materials together. In this instance, an area 44 of the housing 42 is formed to be an ultrasonic weld to housing 40, creating a one-piece housing as shown. A heating element 41 is arranged on the interior of one or both of the housing halves. In this case, the heating element 41 is electrically energized in order to heat and soften a portion of the housing 42 so as to cause the ultrasonic weld 44 or adjacent area to be softened, thereby allowing housing half 40 to be separated from housing half 42. It should be clear to the reader that a number of configurations for arranging the heating element may be employed. For example, the heating element may be a resistive wire, such as NICHROME, that is embedded in one of the housing halves directly in an area adjacent to the ultrasonic weld, it may be a thick- or thin-film resistor placed on the surface near the ultrasonic weld, or the resistor may be placed on a surface somewhat farther away, as long as it serves to heat and soften the plastic. By heating and softening, the plastic will melt or deform, thereby allowing the ultrasonic weld to be broken and the two housing halves to be easily separated.
In addition, another embodiment would find the use of the instant invention to create a housing for a portable radio or other communication device. The housing has the fastening means (snap fit, ultrasonic weld, screw, adhesive joint, rivet, etc.) as described in the instant invention, having the heating element located on one portion of the fastening means, the heating element being electrically energized at an appropriate time in order to soften or deform the fastening means. Also located within the housing is a radio having a transmitter. Referring to FIG. 6, a radio 50 comprises any well-known radio, such as portable two-way radios manufactured by Motorola Inc., which may operate in either receive or transmit modes. The radio 50 includes a receiver section 51 and a transmitter section 52 which comprise means for communicating, that is, transmitting or receiving communication signals for the radio. In the receive mode, the portable radio 50 receives a communication signal via an antenna 53. A transmit/receive (T/R) switch 54 couples the received communication signal to the receiver 51. The receiver 51 receives and demodulates the received communications signal and presents its audio component to a speaker 56. It may be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that other functions not herein described may be provided by any suitable means, including a controller means (not shown), which controls the entire operation of the radio 50. In the transmit mode, audio messages are coupled from a microphone 57, where they are used to modulate a cartier signal as is well known in the art. The modulated carrier signal is then applied to the antenna 53 through the T/R switch 54 for transmission of the communication signal. It may be appreciated that suitable portions of the transmitter or receiver sections 52, 55, or the entire radio 50 may be incorporated into the plastic housing of the present invention.
It can be seen that the use of this invention allows one to easily and rapidly separate plastic assemblies that may have been joined by snap fits, ultrasonic welds, screws, adhesives, or other types of fasteners. By providing an easy and rapid means of separating plastic assemblies that have been joined by these fastening methods, portable electronic assemblies, such as radios, may be created that can be easily disassembled to recover and recycle the components of both the housings and internal parts. While these embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Marquez and Pedrosa both eager to get back to work
Both of the Factory Honda riders, Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, have enjoyed great success at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the past few years.
Marquez has won on three occasions – 2011 and 2012 in Moto2™, 2013 in MotoGP™ – and Pedrosa on two occasions in the premier class – 2010 & 2012. Pedrosa also took second in 2011 and 2013.
Marquez previewed the return to action at round ten, where he will aim to maintain his perfect 2014 form after nine straight wins so far, by saying, "It's been a great summer break, which has combined some important time off to recharge the batteries, and also training to ensure I'm ready for the second half of the season."
"I've had time to reflect on what an amazing first nine races we've had and now I'm really eager to get back on the bike in Indianapolis. I've always liked the track and it will be interesting to see the changes that they've made, so we'll need to pay attention from the first practice session and get back into our rhythm as quickly as possible."
Pedrosa added, "I'm feeling relaxed and ready for this second half of the season. The strong race in Germany and confirming my contract before the summer break was the perfect way to end the first half of the season. Indy is a track I've had good results at in the past few years so my aim is to arrive there and fight again for the victory. Obviously we have new track layout to look at so it will be important to take some time with my team to examine these changes and be prepared for the race."

Short Cuts
Death: 379
Irene was the sister of Pope Saint Damasus I (c. 304-384). She and her devout mother Laurentia are said to have often spent whole nights in the catacombs of Rome, keeping vigil in prayer beside the tombs of the martyrs. At the age of twenty, Irene consecrated her virginity by vow to Christ. When in 366 her brother was elected to the pontificate, one faction of the Roman clergy refused to recognize him, schismatically electing their own rival candidate and violently seizing the papal throne for their antipope, Ursinus. Irene ardently prayed for an end to the schism. A year later, the imposter Ursinus was expelled from Rome by the emperor Valentinian I. Pope Damasus wrote for his sister a book on consecrated virginity. Following Irene�s death in 379, he buried her in a small church where he had interred their mother, and where he was later to be buried. The pope composed a loving epitaph for his sister, in which he testifies to her holiness and purity.

the one party that promoted legalization was the partido socialdemocrata - (social democratic party) - it received 1.22 % of the vote - below the required to remain a registered party ...
I am mexican as well, what do you gain by publishing stuff like this that undermines Mexico's image in the eyes of the world? Michoacan is a little state that has little or no economic power in relation to the rest of the country, of course its gonna be pretty bad over there...The rest of the country still has a large industrial sector, security and a great tourism industry...
Economist readers,
Please do not associate what is happening over there with the rest of the country. Mexico's image has had a pretty rough year, let's not augment this bad PR with comments like this one...
The use of violence to tackle violence its an inefective and useless way to atack the narcotics issue. Michoacan its a rural and poor state, no industry, not well paid jobs, a lot of it inhabitants get out and try to scape from poverty. To solve the question its about create good jobs and oportunities for the people, mainly the youth. For instance, the only well paid jobs are offered by the mob, so, many people are hired. I ask the gov no send only police and soldiers, send industry, education, jobs, hospitals, roads...
I question whether or not legalization would end the power of the drug cartels. Also, there is the issue of the drug-related crime and accident stats. If illegal drugs are legalized, a whole new control system would have to be established to ensure that users who commit crimes and cause accidents do not escape accountability. That control system would cost many millions to establish. And there is the issue of what message does it send to our young, to give what may appear to them to be state approval on par with that for alchohol, for drugs such as meth, cocaine and heroin, which have no safe level of use?

machani- "I am curious as to why people think that decriminalizing drugs will majically lead to the end of drug-related crime."
I am in favor of legalizing (decriminalizing) the sale of all drugs, including "chemical lab" drugs. Of course this does not magically end drug related crime, but it should end the power of the drug cartels and drug gangs. The model for the sale of drugs would be the current system for the sale of alcohol. Let the free market take care of quality. Taxes should be leveled to help pay for associated the social & medical costs, with the level of taxes restrained to keep illegal drugs uneconomical.
Crimes, such as driving drunk or under the influence of other drugs, should be vigorously punished.
It is abundantly obvious that legalizing drugs is no panacea, but my position is that we would be better off to put the drug cartels out of business and then deal with the drug use on an individual basis. Personally, I would try to persuade everyone to avoid all drugs unless needed medically.
I would agree with the comment that México is facing the problems it is facing in large part because of U.S. drug policy. The political and popular trend favoring decriminalization gains as more U.S. states approve drug use 'for medicinal use' ... which really reflects how responsibility for drug use has in degrees over time been relegated to individuals, as opposed to flat out prohibition by law.
A State's capacity to police can only be measured in relative terms - enough or not enough capacity to do what? ... México's capacity to police in this case, facing well financed organizations, which are increasingly better armed can be said to be lacking ... However - increased capacity does not always mean increased effectiveness - Mexican citizens in large proportion have not enjoyed or partaken in a system that is sufficiently capitalized. The capital that flows through the system remains centralized (as it happens naturally to varying degrees in all nations). Needless to say there has not been enough capital to finance services as psychological therapy for dogs or cats who may suffer from overly strenuous life styles as it happens in nations with apparently more than sufficient capital.
Mexican citizens have not in recent past, to my recollection asked for, or expected the government to create a larger police and in essence carry out a low level or cold war (in some localities) with itself.
Increased capacity does not necessarily mean increased effectiveness - if the current administration remains committed to policing, as seems to be the case, and the U.S. seems willing to contribute with funds and hardware (to both sides, as well as provide demand), I only hope locks, safeguards, and oversight receive as much attention and funding ... I would not want my beloved country develop a policing body beyond moderate levels in relation to other government institutions as some nations have in the name of security ... the capacity to police held by some nations illustrate the fact that such changes in policy and reallocation of resources may not be easily rolled back or shifted ...
This is stupid and so is Mexico's government. You will never be able to stop organized crime with an economy like Mexico's. What do they expect? for the citizens to just sit back and starv to death? The answer is to fix the economy, only then will people find it a better option to go to school and work legal jobs instead of joining a gang or cartel. Free the market and watch the problems disapear.
I would say the Crime Family. Because by its own definition it is an oligarchy. I do not like that, maybe if they were a democratic Crime family i would change my mind.
Then again if they were a Democratic Crime Family, they would be called PRI.
What is worse? A crime family who seems to be in a better state then the government or the government abusing their military powers?
"BigCircleBoy" made a good point mentioning that we don't understand the impacts of long term drug use. Also, he rightfully points out that consumption has increased dramatically in the last decade.
In certain way what we are experiencing right now is an example of what it could happen with legalization.
This is my hypothesis;
In the past decade or so, the price drop and consequent increase of consumption of illegal drugs in the northern hemisphere, Europe and America, is directly related to an increase of supply. The same reasoning that it could happen if they were legalized.
The supply boom has a direct correlation to the South - North immigration explosion of the nineties, the biggest one of the century. LINK TO GRAPH This phenomena opened the opportunity for the creation of new traffic corridors due to the fact that some immigrants used their connections in both sides of the border to establish drug trafficking operations.
Michoacan, is a good example, a good percentage of its population migrated to USA.
In the other hand the phenomena happened when coca production in South America was decreasing. So, the only reasoning to the increment of supply points to the increase of corridors.
In this span of time Mexico became world's third largest consumer of cocaine and the consumption of meth, cannabis, etc is rampant.
In Mexico City cocaine use among 15 and 24 years old went from a mere 3.1 percent in 1987 to a whopping 66 percent in 2003. http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/src/inicio/ArtPdfRed.jsp?iCve=58222809 Crime in Mexico is at all time high, creating in the last few years massive protests from its citizens.
The social impact is enormous and the cartels grew so big that an slight unbalance of power created an all war between them.
The imbalance was created when USA decided to fight illegal immigration by taking control of the border with Mexico, this action closed several drug corridors. This effect can be demonstrated by the fact that drug price in USA has increased and in Mexico has decreased, cartels are inundating the Mexican drug market.
The few open corridors became a battleground that forced the Mexican Government to get involved. At the mean time it uncovered a massive level of corruption which in turn is requiring a stronger response from the central government.
In a sense we can use these developments to analyze the world nations response to illicit drugs.

McCain Aide Denies Palin Book Claim
Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue isn't out until Tuesday but leaked excerpts reported by the Associated Press are already setting off denials from John McCain's old campaign staff. In response to the Palin's reported claim that she received a bill from the McCain campaign to pay for expenses related to her own vetting process, a McCain official told CNN that the story is "one hundred percent untrue." The official added: "All those bills are from her personal attorney Thomas Van Flein, mostly relating to the Troopergate investigation and other ethics investigations. It is not legal to pay for those investigations out of general election funds, even if the campaign was so inclined." A spokeswoman for Palin, Meg Stapleton, wouldn't confirm whether the claim was even in the book as it is still embargoed before its release.

Now beer this: New brew has Sounders FC fan flavor
The Emerald City Supporters, Sounders FC's largest fan group, and Redhook Brewery have partnered to create a new beer called No Equal Amber Lager.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Houston @ Sounders FC,
7 p.m., NBC Sports
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Live Sounders FC chat at 2 p.m. today NEW - 10/24, 09:19 AM
Scarves. Chants. Beer.
Sounders FC's largest fan group, the Emerald City Supporters, is known for being the boisterous bunch with proud chants that echo throughout CenturyLink Field, and for eye-catching tifo displays. Now they might be known for something else — craft beer.
In a unique partnership, the ECS recently paired with Redhook Brewery to design the No Equal Amber Lager, named after the original ECS motto, "No Equal." The process — from style of beer to the logo — was a complete collaboration and the final product is now available at the stadium, ECS-sponsored bars and retail locations statewide.
"It was a lot of fun," said Jen Talley, Redhook's brewing operations manager. "The ECS were with us every step of the way."
Talley, who's been in the industry 22 years, was impressed the ECS' organization and knowledge of beer. Many members involved are home brewers.
In turn, the ECS was impressed with Redhook's willingness to listen and take a back seat at times. The evidence is right on the bottle.
"Our logo is bigger than their logo," said ECS co-president Greg Mockos. "Ours even overlaps theirs."
For many Sounders fans, not much goes together better than soccer and beer. So when Redhook first approached the ECS at the Fuel sports bar in Pioneer Square, it was a natural fit.
The ECS wanted a craft beer its members could drink throughout the day — something not too heavy, hoppy or bitter. Both sides agreed that it sounded like a Vienna-style lager, but the ECS had no idea how much that meant to Talley. Not only was that her favorite style of beer, but so deep was her love for it that her daughter's name is Vienna.
"When I told the ECS this, they pretty much freakin' died," said Talley, who then put together the final recipe.
The local connection with Redhook, founded in Seattle in 1981, was comforting for the ECS. Talley said the brewery, an official sponsor of the Sounders, is less concerned with turning a profit and hopes to integrate into the community.
"I think you're going to see a lot more of this going forward," Talley said.
But the fan flavor at Sounders games will be same.

Hershey's tied for second among the nation's most "patriotic brands," according to a new survey.
A survey of 4,500 consumers was conducted by New York City-based Brand Keys in advance of the July 4th holiday. The brands were cited for having "an authentic foundation" and not just "slapping an American flag on something."
Jeep topped the list. Hershey's (NYSE: HSY) and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) were tied at second. Rounding out the top five, Levi Strauss and Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) tied for third.
Campbell Soup. Co.(NYSE: CPB) ranked in the top 30 among 197 brands evaluated.
Hershey's, which is based in Hershey, Pa., makes Kisses, Kit Kat, Reese's, Twizzler, Almond Joy, Mounds, York and the flagship Hershey's chocolate bar.
Brand Keys is the same outfit that puts out rankings about fan loyalty of sports teams. It should be noted that, going into the 2013 season, Phillies fans ranked No. 2 in fan loyalty behind Yankees fans. Astros fans ranked last.

The Best Dresses of the Oscars: pictures of the unforgettable look on the red carpet's
Feb 27th, 2012 by ck
Make a list of the best dresses of the Oscars is very difficult, because only in recent years have seen very beautiful red carpet where celebrity chic of the world show off their finest creations of high fashion designers are most popular. But we could not begin without an Oscar Marilyn Monroe there has never arrived, although for years an icon of film and fashion in the world! Do you think the dress you see above, raised the Oscar ceremony in 1951, had borrowed from the wardrobe of the scene of the film studios of Fox! The Oscar ceremony is that for years the benchmark for fashion and the perfect opportunity to see who is left behind among the celebs and those who still do not give up. Last year we saw very beautiful models of dresses on the red carpet and so in each edition at the end, but if we were to rank? Perhaps the first place would always be our beloved Audrey Hepburn with her Givenchy dress raised in 1954 to receive the award for best actress for the unforgettable film "Roman Holiday". Since then styles the stars are actually much changed and became more eccentric and sophisticated! In our photogallery you can find the most amazing outfits in recent years, starting from the beautiful Valentino dress with which Julia Roberts retired in 2001 the Oscar for "Erin Brockovich" and ending with the wonderful creation Versace worn by Penelope Cruz in 2007, without forget Sarah Jessica Parker with her dress Christian Dior Haute Couture in 2009 and Cameron Diaz in 2010 with the beautiful model Oscar de la Renta. The list is long and the pictures of the gallery are not enough to show all the masterpieces shown off for the Oscars, but if you choose you your favorite, what would it be?
