On 19 November 1969, while Richard F. Gordon piloted the command module "Yankee Clipper" in lunar orbit, Apollo 12 Commander Charles P. "Pete" Conrad and Alan L. Bean, pilot of the lunar module "Intrepid," flew down to Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms). This was to be the first demonstration of "point landing," the ability to target a landing site with a fair amount of precision. NASA hoped that they would be able to land within a mile (1.6 km) of Surveyor 3, a robotic spacecraft which in April 1967 had made one of the first soft landings on the moon. Conrad and Bean surpassed expectations by landing within just 512 feet (156 meters) of the defunct spacecraft.
The Surveyor Surprise
The choice of Surveyor 3 as the landing target had been the subject of dispute. Opponents pressed for a landing site they thought would be more scientifically interesting. Advocates argued that it would be valuable to bring back parts of the spacecraft so scientists and engineers could see the effect of more than two and a half years of exposure to lunar conditions. They also pointed out the value of bringing samples from the site to Earth-based labs in order to validate data which the spacecraft had radioed to Earth.
No one suspected that Surveyor 3 would provide evidence about the possibility of life on other worlds.
Among the Surveyor 3 components that the Apollo 12 astronauts returned to Earth was a TV camera. And on the insulation covering the circuit boards were 50 to 100 Streptococcus mitis, a harmless kind of bacteria commonly found in human noses, mouths and throats. They had traveled with Surveyor 3 to the moon and spent two years and seven months in vacuum, subjected to harsh radiation, temperatures down to 20 degrees above absolute zero, and utter lack of water or nutrients. But they had survived, and when scientists reintroduced them to a nutrient source, they resumed their biological activities.
Apollo 12 Commander Pete Conrad said, "I always thought the most significant thing that we ever found on the whole ... moon was that little bacteria who came back and lived."
While this doesn't prove that there is life anywhere else in the Universe, it does demonstrate the possibility that life could exist under conditions far less hospitable than those of Earth. And astrobiologists who speculate that life might have arisen elsewhere and been transplanted to Earth by meteorites no longer have to worry about claims that living things could not survive the journey through space.
Exploring the Moon
Conrad and Bean conducted two moon walks totaling nearly eight hours, during which they deployed the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), a more comprehensive collection of experiments than the one which Apollo 11 had delivered. They also took photographs, investigated lunar soil mechanics, and collected samples of rocks and regolith (the pulverized rock which constitutes lunar soil) and particles from the solar wind. To provide information about the lunar interior, they collected samples along the rays of large craters, which consist of material ejected from deep below the lunar surface by the crater-forming impacts. The information Apollo 12 provided caused scientists to rethink virtually all of their theories about the moon's origin.
Between moonwalks, the astronauts enjoyed an upgrade over the accommodations in Apollo 11's lander: hammocks and blankets. Altogether, they were on the lunar surface for 31 hours, 31 minutes, of which nearly 8 hours were spent outside the lunar module -- three times as long as the Apollo 11 astronauts. Conrad and Bean covered 1.35 km (0.84 mile) on foot.
They lifted off from the moon on 20 November. After docking with Yankee Clipper in lunar orbit and transferring into it for the ride home, they jettisoned Intrepid and set it to crash into the lunar surface to calibrate the seismometer they had left there. It hit the moon at a speed of 1.67 km per second (3,735 miles per hour), 76 km (47 miles) from the instrument, creating the first artificial moonquake. The result was unlike anything experienced on Earth. The vibrations didn't subside significantly for nearly an hour.
Apollo 12 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on 24 November 1969 at 20:58:24 UT (3:58:24 p.m. EST) near American Samoa, about seven kilometers (four miles) from the recovery ship USS Hornet, after a mission elapsed time of 244 hrs, 36 mins, 24 secs.
Command module Yankee Clipper is on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, Virginia. The Surveyor 3 camera which had been home to the microbial astronauts is on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Tribal Tech is a progressive fusion band, originally formed in 1984 by guitarist Scott Henderson and bass player Gary Willis. From 1993 forward the band included Scott Kinsey on keyboard and Kirk Covington on drums, and has produced nine albums that stretch the borders between blues, jazz, and rock. The band dissolved following the release of 2000's Rocket Science, with the various members pursuing solo careers. In September, 2009 Scott Kinsey announced on a Facebook group devoted to Tribal Tech that the band was reforming to record an album in May, 2010 for the Tone Center/Shrapnel label. In a March 2011 interview with jazzuality.com, Henderson confirmed that he and Willis have already laid down some thirty jams that are to be the basis of a forthcoming Tribal Tech album.

Spring Dental is the best dental office around. I've been coming here for almost 25 years, like Jeffrey F... and I will never switch. The building is simple - built into the mini mall that attaches to the Pavillions. Once you walk inside, it smells totally like a hospital - sterile smell. One of my favorite smells - next to jet fuel. The staff are friendly, answer the phones quickly, and know who you are when you walk in (obviously because I have an appointment and I'm not a girl named Karen). I personally only come to see Dr. Torres. He's the best of the best. Great "bedside" manner. Very thorough and funny all at the same time. **I have my dental file reflect that I will only see Dr. Torres, so I work around his schedule - which has never led me astray. I know it's genetics and how I treat myself, but I've never had a cavity or needed braces, and I thank Dr. Torres for that. The only thing I've ever had done was 1 wisdom tooth removed - which was handled here and not an oral surgeons office - but not by Dr. Torres. Either way, I've always been in great hands.

Very clean place. Nice staff. I have been going here for 25+ years. I highly recommend this place. My family has been going for 35+ years. I got PPO just so u can go here. I live 8 miles from this place and its worth the drive. so many dentists by my house and i choose to go here.

GEORG JENSEN Vintage Sterling Horse Charm/Pendant
Product Details
Renowned Danish silversmith Georg Jensen was born in 1866. His training in metalsmithing and his education in the Fine Arts enabled him to develop a successful career based in beautiful jewelry and silver design. His signature Art Nouveau style grew increasingly popular and Jensen became a world renowned artist. Although Jensen died in 1935, his pieces are still being created today using the same craftsmanship as when he was alive.
This Vintage sterling silver charm/pendant from the 1960's is a wonderful example of Georg Jensen's craft! The sterling piece is round in shape and features the raised image of a horse's head in profile on the front surface. The horse is depicted with simple, angular features that exemplify Jensen's unique style. The same iconic horse head image was also featured in other works by Jensen, but the pendant is a very versatile and unique find! The back of the pendant is stamped "STERLING" and "DENMARK" along with a small Georg Jensen signature hallmark. At the top of the piece is a silver loop and jump ring, making it easy to hang and wear. The size of the piece would be perfect either as a charm, or worn alone on a simple sterling chain as a pendant. This wonderful equestrian-inspired piece by an exceptional and beloved silversmith would make a very special addition to any collection!
Measurements: The pendant hangs 7/8" long, has a diameter of 3/4" and measures approximately 1/16" thick.
Condition: The overall condition of the pendant is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no serious damage to the sterling silver piece and the jump ring is intact. There is a natural patina on the silver, which is normal for a Vintage sterling silver piece and adds a lovely depth to the appearance.

Hi All,
My first time on here, glad to be here. I work in a "communal" shop and need some advice on how to clean the carbon build up out of a medium size Victor heating tip. The tip is 11 inch long over all and has 6 holes in the end (just for reference).
I believe, that people who come through the shop and use the tip when I am out are turning the oxygen off first and letting the acetylene burn back. I know that I always add a touch of oxy when I light the torch and turn down both gases before turning off the acetylene first. However, I am still seeing substantial carbon build up within the feeder tube of the tip. from one end to the other.
First question: Am I doing something wrong, or missing something?
Second question: Any good ideas of how to get the carbon out of the inside of a tip like this? I am unscrewing the tip head, and using bottle brushes, and pipe cleaners, and tip cleaners where ever they work and blowing the carbon out with compressed air. Any thoughts??

Implement a TED-style Open-democracy social-networking Website for gov, citizens, voting on issues, bills, elections, local, state, National
The US government should start a TED-clone forum to open up democracy and engage the public. Video clips would be elected officials and cabinet discussing real issues and solutions on stage in a public forum. And the site should have all the functions of Ted if not more-even voting with a paper trail and the counts sent to your in-box--perhaps even petition like. On the site could be activist ads, and petitions and letter signing functions (TED could do the same), and links to social media and not-for-profit organizations. Sequestered in a neat out of the way window that doesn't clutter the message.
Citizens could even be given a password and user-name with proper details, birth date/residence, etc. or even an up-link card to access the site anywhere with the swipe of an identity card (optional)--as in Internet cafes and hotels and bus/train stations, cafes.
It should be equipped with email-sharing forums for connecting people with skills and like ideas to get movements and local businesses devoted to community started.
Business is an extension of a community, it is empowered by the community-it must reflect and serve the community, therefore the nation, the world, the people....happiness and equality will flourish, and government will be held accountable (more so than now).
On this site-should be a box for 'VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE"--impeaching and censuring elected officials. (that would have to be loosely moderated somehow). otherwise every crank will be impeaching representatives. But the idea is to include more citizens in the decision making process--evolving into a direct-democracy based on reason, research, and activism.
None of this top down control and rule we have today. The people are not being heard, not being listened to, and blatantly-ignored, disenfranchised.
Money talks and citizens are fodder and dead peasants to government and big corporations. The military is the tip of the spear for behemoths, corporations:big-gov welfare. Hmm.
Feb 18 2011: I am also working on such a system. I have the idea...rather a compilation of good ideas fused together in synergy. My concept is not based on involving gov officials but rather citizens. The modern political mechanism, even in it's most free and democratic form still does not allow proper citizen participation. The framework is simple: you have an on-line social media network, there is a list of policy issues, a list of NGOs, individual citizens and gov. organisms suggesting solutions ( policy drafts), then you have a centralized way of tracking each citizens concerned as well as specializations. The next step is open debate loosely moderated ( this requires citizens with similar concerns and specializations to deliberate in specialized forums) followed by formulation of bills supported by public initiatives ( a number of signatures is necessary to trigger a referendum). As a user you are informed by the site about those topics that concern you or that you might be a useful asset in solving or that somebody you know recomends.
There are several weak points like who has a saying on what issue and does it count if I have a PhD at all or just on some issues. There is also the need to link such a framework to information supplier sites and in such a way that relevant information is easily accessible in any sub-forum debating a particular specific issue. There is also the issue of involving those citizens who do not have internet access or do not know how to use it ( this is particularly relevant in my country).
There is much to say on this topic, but I can assure you from the get go that such a system will provide citizens a mechanism for solving their own local issues much easier and help local communities link to each other by providing already aplayed solutions as an open source reference on the site.
This is actually what I'm working on and researching and I invite all those interested to contact me as I am not lacking ideas but rather resourc
Feb 27 2011: The issue of not having an internet access is a crucial one if this system is to be implemented successfully. Even in the modern-tech cities, some people still don't go online, for various reasons.
The question this Platform ought to answer is: Who am I trying to reach? Because people interested in policies, politicians' background, status of issues, are doing research aside the existence of a platform. The system can only offer a (virtual) space of debate and communication, BUT if it does not reach those who do not have an internet acces (technological and economical means), the "voice" that will be heard will not be respresentative for the community...May 6 2011: What kind of tool are you thinking about? I am imagining a suite of citizenship apps to accomplish some of the ideas on this forum.

Jun 3 2011: The EDemocracy online political network (EDemocracy) is a Web 3.0 online political network (or facebook) which aims to enhance democracy by providing a costless and immediate means to distribute information, facilitate collaboration, exchange content, manage workflow, deliver transparency and allow political sovereignty to be exercised directly by citizens. The content includes profiles, processes and outcomes. Profiles are self-published by each politicians, citizens, government executives and institutions. Process content includes issues (military, economic, social, environmental, etc), Priorities, policies (proposed, pending, current, redundant), Projects (government expenditure, volunteers, partners needed. Outcome content includes announcements, videos, audio, reports (feasibility, economic, financial, environmental, industry, market) blogs, pictures and articles. All content is linked and rated for quality and quantity.
- +1
The EDemocracy online political networks applies Web 3.0 online network principles. This includes semantic search, peer to peer networks, communities of common interest focused on a common purpose, comprehensive user generated content, workflow management, scalable open source web applications and cloud computing power from Amazon.
Additional information is available from http://www.marcuscake.com/economic-development/edemocracy . There is a screenshot of the prototype on the page that provides an overview of community structure.
Edemocracy 3.0 is also a Web 3.0 network on the critical path to Economic Development 4.0. Economic Development 4.0 is summarised at http://www.marcuscake.com/economic-development and in a presentation available on the same page.
The traditional model of democracy determines outcomes based on ideology – left or right. The eDemocracy 3.0 model allows all participants to see through the community to determine outcomes based on issues.Feb 18 2011: Great idea. An essential central component of such a system would be identity management. Since this system should ideally be global, the big question is, who should be the custodian of all that data? The solution is to structure the framework in such a way that every user is in control of her own data at all times. Private enterprises could offer "Personal Data Lockers" (Amazon and Google would be good candidates) that conform to globally accepted security standards.
If you aren't already familiar with how the internet is moving from "push" to "pull" take a look at www.thepowerofpull.com
Feb 25 2011: I don't think it should be global. I think each community and each nation could develop their own version through an open-software program. Local communities or states can develop their own systems of data security. What do you think?Feb 18 2011: Working on this right now...but it won't be through the government. CitizenLife.com: We. The People. Offering the tool-set for anyone to live a citizen life, through PC and mobile functionality. Republic in real-time, democracy delivered. From entering an address and getting one's representatives, local to global, at the click of a button, but also what they did today, to organizing for activism, service and/or volunteerism with like-minded persons around the globe, CitizenLife will be possessed of an elegant yet intuitive drilldown on data provided not just by reps and gov't themselves, but by "Melvin's Hellions," a student-driven effort to be present and hold gov't accountable during the workday. Interested in helping? Fire off a communique to firstname.lastname@example.com!
Feb 23 2011: I'm interested. I'm just not computer savvy or rich.
Is your plan private/for profit?
It must be open-source and 100% public domain. Like independent radio.

Mar 2 2011: Agreed. And, it also must have a mechanism for the propagation of authentic and actionable information. How do mitigate spin without structure enabled towards those ends? Some framework, itself transparent and assault-able, must also accompany the open nature of the experience and toolset, about which we agree. Does require some innovation to both manifest IDEO-esque design thinking and to bridge the remaining digital divide, but not as much money as one might think. Seeing this is movement-driven, and not money-driven, is probably the best model, in my view. I do think that saying to the local Papa Johns, "Hey, you can contribute and partner too" isn't anything other than inclusive.Feb 23 2011: It seems there are a number of people out there starting some version or another. I really want to see something that can take off and change the game of politics so representatives are drawn to it and held accountable--TED style. So a public forum, on stage.
- +1
And there are forums like Care2. If TEd talkers are scientists and architects and engineers solving problems and Tedsters are interested in implementing them, the doers--the scientists,etc, cant be elected officials--cuz they wont be doing what they would be doing. It make you think, politicians are really just people with no skill, little knowledge, and little use. I guess that's why there politicians.Feb 27 2011: I am really interested in the accountabilty of the workday of a governement representative. But how exactly should that have an effect? I have seen protests (both violent and peaceful) with no direct or effective consequence on the behaviour of the government official. I have seen lobbying campaigns that did not have a desired result in policy making.
In this perspective, will the platform be more of a helping tool for the vote decision, than an immediate sanctioning system?Mar 8 2011: I love the accountability that will be defined through the transparency your program provides. Great work.Feb 17 2011: I don't think we should wait for the government to do this, but build it ourselves.
Better develop the tool in open source, and possible to use in any country
Would be awesome
Feb 17 2011: No, I know, I thought of that as I was writing it, and thought wow i should start that myself, but then I thought, hw could i get elected officials to participate. I'm nobody really. But i suppose submissions could be made--video files of town hall meetings, etc. but i dont think more rhetoric and bogus propaganda would serve the system. it needs active participation of elected officials talking about the complexities of n idea and solutions, not pandering and lying and gunslinging...
And it needs political will--by the people to actively vote people out with he click of a button who do not hold themselves accountable. If done right it could garner of enough support and affect change. And it would offer a medium for all candidates to run, not just the rich--uploading would be free. Profiles with sponsorships declared (not financial sponsorships but NGO, non-profits, community centers--endorsements)
So an NGo or community group could click on a button that endorses the candidate and fill out a profile-so the activist group or charity or ngo's bio is posted and linked. In this way, no-names could find themselves on a n official ballot. i would like to get something like this started, and would ask for help to anyone willing to reach out in any wayFeb 17 2011: and any financial sponsorships could be added by users--building a long bio on the candidate or elected official in a easy convenient even fun structureFeb 18 2011: There you go! Agreed!Feb 17 2011: I believe that is a great idea. I believe also it can be a great idea for country like Egypt starting its new democratic era to have such an initiative to have a better way listening to the people needs and contributions

Houston's Wavevision cable system in deeper trouble with FCC
Already in trouble with the FCC, Houston-based cable operator TV Max could fizzle from landing in seriously hot water with the agency. If TV Max, which operates as Wavevision, doesn't pay a $2.25 million fine-turned-forfeiture in the next month, the Federal Communications Commission could refer the case to the Justice Department for enforcement.

Network: USA
Episodes: Ongoing (hour)
Seasons: Ongoing
TV show dates: June 6, 2013 — TBD
Series status: Has not been cancelled
Performers include: Aaron Tveit, Brandon Jay McLaren, Courtney B. Vance, Daniel Sunjata, Jay Karnes, Manny Montana, Scottie Thompson, and Vanessa Ferlito.
TV show description:
This series is inspired by true events and focuses on the lives of undercover agents from the FBI, DEA, and US Customs who reside and operate under one roof. When forced to give up any shred of normalcy and the question of trust is a matter of life or death, the house becomes a sanctuary — their "Graceland."
Senior FBI agent Paul Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) has a legendary track record in the bureau. However, after a mysterious event that sent him on an unexplained leave of absence a few years ago, he traded in his suit and tie for a more Zen existence. He is assigned to train rookie Mike Warren who has just arrived at the house, — a task he reluctantly takes on.
FBI Agent Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) is fresh out of the Academy. He's sent to live at Graceland and work with Briggs, whom he idolizes. What he doesn't have in life experience he makes up for in smarts — which he'll need them to fulfill his secret mission at Graceland, one that will put him at odds with his roommates.
Catherine "Charlie" DeMarco (Vanessa Ferlito) is a strong-willed undercover FBI agent. She's a chameleon on the job, easily turning herself into anything from a believable junkie to a classy businesswoman. Whatever her guise, she's brimming with attitude and determined to take the bad guys down.
Joe "Johnny" Tuturro (Manny Montana) is the fun-loving prankster of the house. He's also Briggs' right hand man and the heart of Graceland. Growing up, Johnny almost followed in his brother's footsteps and joined a gang. Instead, he became a Navy Seal trainee, where he learned everything from undersea recoveries to diffusing bombs, and then finally joined the FBI.
Dale "DJ" Jakes (Brandon Jay McLaren) is a quick-tempered US Customs agent and the most territorial of the roommates. He's a tough nut to crack, but underneath his shell is a truly dedicated agent with a lot of wisdom. Jakes is a bit of a lone wolf, but he's always there to help the team when needed.
And finally, Paige Arkin (Serinda Swan) is a smart and sexy DEA undercover agent. She has a smile that lights up the room but can follow that up with a killer left-hook. She drinks hard, plays hard and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She'll do whatever it takes to arrest the enemy and after she has them in cuffs, she uses her talents for ball-busting to make even the hardest criminal cooperate.
Episode #TBD
This TV series has not ended yet.
First aired: TBD
What do you think? Do you like the Graceland TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?

The 17-year-old who was critically injured in last week's car crash in La Plata died Wednesday evening.
Micah Enstrom of Hughesville died from injuries sustained in the single-vehicle accident on Turkey Hill Road in La Plata.
At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, Gabriel William Maxwell, 22, of Waldorf was driving a Chevy Colorado south on the roadway when he lost control of the pickup truck at a curve and struck a tree, police reported.
Maxwell was pronounced dead on the scene.
Enstrom and Anthony Hyshaw, 19, of Waldorf were flown to a hospital.
Officers reported that Enstrom was in critical condition, and it appeared Hyshaw had injuries that were not life-threatening.
Enstrom's grandfather, Marvin Harris, said at 4 a.m. Thursday morning he received a phone call informing him that Enstrom had saved four lives, having donated his organs.
Harris recalled recently going with Enstrom to get a temporary identification card and Enstrom discussing with him that he wanted to be an organ donor. Enstrom's grandmother, Dona Harris, said she, too, remembers talking with Enstrom about organ donation.
Dona Harris recalled asking why her grandson wanted to donate his organs.
She remembered Enstrom saying, "Why wouldn't I? Isn't that something everyone should do?"
Enstrom's grandparents, with whom he had been living in recent years, said Enstrom was a young man with a lot of energy and someone who was quick to help out family and friends.
Marvin Harris said the day of the crash, Enstrom was out in the yard raking leaves and trimming hedges. He had also washed and waxed his grandmother's car.
Both grandparents said Enstrom was good at skateboarding. He played guitar and helped out a lot at Fellowship Church in White Plains where Marvin Harris is pastor.
"He was a friend to everyone," Marvin Harris said.
Enstrom was in the process of getting his GED, and Dona Harris said he was good with electronics and just about everything he took an interest in.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to information from the Charles County Sheriff's Office.

For as long as I can remember, my legs will start to itch when I begin jogging. Sometimes the itching is unbearable and I have to stop. I noticed that it doesn't happen during sprinting / high intensity interval work. Is there a reason for this?

Itching/tingling indicates an increase in bloodflow due to expanded capillaries and arteries. This problem should go away as you increase your level of physical fitness. If the itching comes with a rash though, it's more likely to be exercise-induced anaphylaxis (an allergic reaction).

Produced from the seeds of the Jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinenis), Jojoba Oil is a botanical extract that offers several beneficial capabilities. Although it is called Jojoba oil, this substance is actually a wax ester that is highly viscous in nature. When it is room temperature, Jojoba oil is a clear, gold liquid that is silky and smooth in consistency. It is noted for being similar in consistency to sebum (human skin oil), and so, it is commonly used as an ingredient in a wide number of skincare and beauty formulas. Jojoba oil is used in a variety of body washes, lotions, body scrubs, exfoliators, moisturizers, lip balms, and facial cleansers. It is also commonly used in sun protection formulas.
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Jojoba shrub, a woody, desert plant that is native to the Mohave and Sonoran deserts located in northwestern Mexico, southern California, and southern Arizona. This perennial shrub grows actively during the summer and fall seasons. Producing green foliage, clusters of yellow blossoms, and brown seeds, the Jojoba shrub produces multiple stems, reaching its maximum height of seven feet after 20 years of continuous growth. This plant thrives in a coarse growing medium, such as that found in the desert, although it does well in a medium-to-coarsely textured soil. It has a high resistance to drought and salinity, though it is quite intolerant of shady conditions and does not thrive with no sunlight. Blooming during the late spring season, this perennial shrub produces seeds throughout the summer.
An evergreen shrub, it grows slowly, producing an irregular shape, although it generally spreads to an equal width of approximately six to eight feet. Its leaves are simple in design, featuring a bluish-green, oblong shape that is leathery and coarse to the touch. The leaves typically appear in pairs that reach two-and-a half inches in length and point upward. Only the female plants produce berries (seeds), which are approximately one inch in diameter, brown, and nut-like in appearance. A male plant must be in close proximity in order for female plants to produce. Today, the Jojoba shrub is often used as a privacy hedge, to line streets, and for the oil it creates.
Full sun is required for proper growth, and any drop in temperature below 20°F can kill the plants. Low maintenance is required for Jojoba shrubs, and typically, minor pruning is sufficient in the fall after seed production has stopped. The plant is also known by the following names: goat nut, coffeeberry, quinine nut, wild hazel, pignut, deer nut, and gray boy bush.
Use of Jojoba oil for topical purposes dates back to the early eighteenth century when Native Americans used it for many different reasons, particularly for treating the hair and scalp. Even today, it is included in hair products such as shampoos and conditioners to promote a healthy scalp and encourage improved hair growth. It does not clog hair follicles in the manner in which sebum can, but rather, it dissolves any buildup of hair products and sebum from the scalp including the follicles in order to promote normal hair growth.
Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, adding to its popularity for use in beauty products. Since it evaporates slowly, it delivers moisturizing benefits that are longer lasting than those featured with water-based moisturizers. It has a smooth texture and liquid consistency that makes it easy to apply to the skin, which absorbs it quickly. It is rich in minerals as well as in vitamin E and vitamin B complex. Jojoba oil features antioxidant benefits and is easily stored for long periods of time.
Jojoba oil withstands heat well and does not readily break down, even after days of high temperatures. Since this natural ingredient is nontoxic, non-allergenic and biodegradable, it does not cause any irritation to the skin, another reason for its inclusion in many beauty formulas. It has also been determined as safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel for use in beauty formulas. Jojoba oil has proven effective as a hydrating treatment for dry skin and as an alternative for massage oil, make-up remover, and shaving cream. Since it is easily applied to the skin and spreads readily, a few drops of jojoba oil go a long way.

Nope. Competitors must inform the FIA technical delegate which ratios they intend to fit no later than two hours after the end of P2
Gear ratios and dog rings (excluding final drives or reduction gears) may also be changed under supervision for others of identical specification at any time during an Event provided the FIA technical delegate is satisfied there is evident physical damage to the
parts in question
I'm a little confused by this answer...
If his final drive 7th gear have to stay like it is, he will really struggle through the midfield and will be glad to finish in the points. If hes allowed to change the gear ratios and the wings for higher topspeed, even a podium finish seems possible.

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
As the European Union seeks to implement a Common European Asylum System, these publications and multimedia resources from MPI and MPI Europe examine asylum policy and humanitarian flows to Europe and elsewhere around the world.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - J.R. Smith had 24 points on an efficient 10- for-18 shooting and without their two star players, the New York Knicks used a balanced attack to rout the Utah Jazz, 113-84, on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
Just prior to the contest, the Knicks announced Carmelo Anthony would miss a third straight game with a knee injury and had even more disconcerting news regarding forward Amar'e Stoudemire.
After complaining of sore knees earlier on Saturday, an MRI confirmed that Stoudemire will be forced to undergo another knee debridement procedure, this time on his right knee. He had the same operation on his left knee back in October and is expected to miss about six weeks.
The rest of the Knicks, however, came out resilient despite the dejecting news as Steve Novak buried five 3-pointers to score 20 points. Raymond Felton added 15 and Iman Shumpert and Kenyon Martin each scored 10 for New York, which shot 50.7 percent for the game.
"We wanted to step up for our teammate, absolutely," said New York's Tyson Chandler, who contributed six points and nine rebounds.
The Jazz fell for the fourth straight contest and were without Paul Millsap, who was ruled out just prior to the contest with knee inflammation. Alec Burks scored a team-high 14 points and Gordon Hayward followed with 13.
Without its stars, New York relied on effective ball movement and it manifested productive results, as the Knicks had 13 assists on 21 made field goals by halftime to create a 55-38 lead.
"It seems like once they woke up, everything started falling for them," Utah's Marvin Williams said. "They were really aggressive and got to the free throw line."
Hayward's triple at the end of the first brought the Jazz within, 25-21, heading into the second, but a 3-point brigade from Novak put the Knicks in complete control.
The 3-point specialist canned three from long distance during an 18-2 surge for New York, putting the hosts ahead 48-31 with just under 2 1/2 minutes left in the period.
As the Knicks continued to pour it on in the third, their advantage swelled to 75-45 following three baskets from Smith and a pair of free throws from Shumpert. Utah managed just seven points through the first seven-plus minutes of the quarter and trailed 78-59 going into the fourth.
New York held a comfortable lead the entire final frame and knocked down six 3-pointers in the stanza, with Smith accounting for three. Chris Copeland then drilled one from beyond the arc and then added a three-point play to increase the Knicks' lead to 32, their largest of the game.
The Jazz shot just 38.5 percent (30-of-78) for the game ... Copeland, who
played for only the second time in 14 games, scored 12 points in just over
seven minutes of play ... New York was 24-for-30 from the free throw line ...
Utah had 20 turnovers, which the Knicks converted into 30 points.
