After an off-season of intrigue, speculation and subterfuge, part of the true picture of Formula One in 2012 will be revealed on Friday in Melbourne
The waiting is almost over… and we're about to get a true picture of the pecking order in this year's World Championship.
More than 48,000 kilometres were compiled by the teams across three pre-season tests at Jerez and Barcelona, and the difficult task of establishing a pecking order from that 'phoney war' was made even harder when eight different drivers ended on top of the timesheets after the first eight days.
But those in the know agree on one thing: Red Bull look the team to beat once more – even though world champion Sebastian Vettel had his one day of running with the Melbourne-spec bodywork on his RB8 interrupted by an off-track excursion and a gearbox glitch, and their lap times haven't set the world on fire.
Local hopes again rest with Mark Webber, and while the Australian (and the rest of the field) trailed in Vettel's wake in 2011, the 35-year-old is optimistic of a better showing this year, 10 years after his stunning debut for Minardi in 2002.
Webber's fifth place for Minardi that memorable day remains his best result at home, matched by his efforts for Williams in 2005 and for Red Bull last year. Of the tracks Webber has raced on every season in his career, Melbourne and Monza are the only two where he has yet to finish in the top three: is this his best – last? – chance to put that right?
While Red Bull are expected to be the favourites for this weekend's 17th Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, McLaren looks the team most likely to stop their charge. If looks count for anything, the MP4-27 is the class of the field; McLaren was the only team not to employ the stepped nose concept adopted by the rest of the field and the car looks beautifully streamlined as a result.
Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton have made positive noises about the new car, and both have recent success in Melbourne to draw upon: Hamilton won here in 2008, Button the two years after that.
Ferrari come to Australia rather more downbeat after a difficult winter testing period. Technical chief Pat Fry has all but ruled out podium finishes for the Scuderia early on this season, but Fernando Alonso remained defiant on Thursday, saying "I'm very relaxed about the possibilities of our car; maybe we didn't reach our targets but it doesn't mean that we are slower than the other cars."
Behind last year's top three, the picture gets trickier to read. Lotus, known last year as Renault, showed great pace in two of the pre-season tests with returning 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen and GP2 champion Romain Grosjean, but missed most of the first Barcelona test after a problem with its chassis.
Sauber topped the timesheets more than once in Spain, but can the Swiss squad realistically lift itself from a seventh-place finish in the constructors' championship in 2011?
And what of Mercedes, with 43-year-old seven-time champion Michael Schumacher still without a podium in his 'second' career, and Nico Rosberg still winless after 108 Grand Prix starts?
As always, testing has thrown up more questions than answers, only some of which will be put to rest when the Albert Park pit lane opens at 12.30pm on Friday for the first practice session of the year. As Webber said on Thursday: "I'm sick of talking about it; I just want to get out there and get on the track."

When to use $f$ and when $\nu$ signifying frequency? I guess that when you mean frequency of electromagnetic wave, you use $\nu$, and $f$ otherwise?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free.
Those notations are equivalent and are interchangeably used for the same quantity. Still, $f$ is more commonly used in engineering sciences, while $\nu$ is preferred by physicists.
In any work, you should pick a convention and stick to it.
In my own work, I typically use $f$ for audio frequencies and $\nu$ for optical frequencies, both in Hz. I use $\omega$ for the angular frequency $\omega = 2\pi f$.

Pretty Good
I bought these shoes for my ten year old one month ago.
He loves them but they are almost totally worn through on the soles already.
I do have to keep in mind he rides his bike daily for hours on end so that may have something to do with the wear, but I was expecting them to last a little longer than they have.
Sizing is accurate.

Canvas and Epson 3880

I have just purchased a 3880 and one of my aims is to try canvas. I have never printed canvas and am not familiar with all the brands etc. I would appreciate any guidance as to what might be a good start. I can make my own frames.

I never had great success printing canvas with the 3880. Some 3880s seem to handle it better than others. Apart from anyhting else, a 17 ich printer doesn leave you with much for a gallery wrap: 11 x 17 inches, or at best 12 x 18 inches.
Have a look at Eric Chan's site. He has advice for printing canvas with the 3800 and 3880:

It is a great printer for Canvas! I print mostly canvas now with mine and make gallery wraps for what I hang on my walls. It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it but now prints are perfect each time with no loading issues. I will give you a few tips FWIW:
Get a good rotary cutter. They cut canvas easily and having a clean square edge is important for feeding. I got the Rotatrim pro 24" based on advice and couldn't be happier with it. You will want a good cutter anyway for making small regular prints anyway so a good investment.
Always feed from rear feed. Others will chime in with attaching headers etc to canvas first but I don't use anything. I just make sure to use all 10 fingers to apply even pressure as I feed it.
Turn off the "check paper alignment" (I think that is what it is called) in the menu on the printer. I just take a quick look under the cover once the canvas is fed before hitting print and make sure it is straight. Most of the time it is, occasionally it will be slightly skewed so I just refeed it. If you leave setting on it will drive you crazy and it will be difficult to satisfy the beast!
The canvas you use seems to impact how easy or hard it is to feed so best to start with what others are having success with. Some are softer and others more rigid. I settled on Hahnemuhle Monet Canvas after sampling a few and it definitely worked better than others I tried so that may be the reason I don't have to add headers etc. Eric Chan made a couple nice profiles for me of the canvas incorporating my sealing after printing.
The biggest gallery wraps I find I can make with nice deep 1.75 edges are 13x24. This is using the frames that don't require wrapping around the back. I just started making my own frames though and stapling the canvas on the back with 1.5 edges and have managed 13x24 but a little more tricky since you don't have much canvas to work with on the 13 side.
Good luck, you will be thrilled with your canvas prints!

thanks for the encouragement StuNY
As a matter of fact I picked up a Rotatrim 24 about 4 years ago on Ebay and it is worth its weight in gold. Can even shave a tinnny edge of white off a print. I am looking forward to trying the canvas routine.
Still waiting on ink, refill carts and some empties(I hope). Then the fun begins....

Hi all and StuNY in particular
Your comments re type of canvas etc are most useful.
Question. I recently got a sample collection of Fine Art materials from Hahnemuhle. In looking up the canvases I see Monet and Daguerre. You favour Monet for your use. Is that because it appears( from the sample) to be off white and/or more canvas looking?
What attracted you ( other than it worked...).
What do you use to spray protect the finished work?

Good question, and I honestly couldn't remember off the top of my head. So I went back to my test print box and took a trip down memory lane! I test printed the same sample pack as you, as well as about 30 more papers one day with a set of my images ganged up on a page. Nothing like a side by side comparison of the same image. And yet, no sample of Daguerre oddly enough. Then I remembered, I couldn't get the Daguerre canvas to feed! After about 10 attempts I gave up. Partly because I really didn't like the feel of the canvas, and I liked the Monet much more since it felt like a real canvas in my hand, and the colors were really beautiful. I get a great balance of canvas texture but fine details in the print. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the 100% cotton of the Monet has stayed nice and tight on the wraps I have had on the wall for a few years now.
I coat all my canvas with Eco Print Shield- rolled on- and am very happy with this. I put two layers of gloss and finish with a layer of semi. No cracking when I gallery wrap my prints- as long as I remember not to do it below 60 degrees haha!

Just thought I'd report my good experience with this issue. I find the Canon 17x22 in canvas feeds well into my 3880 without the need for taping on a leading edge, which was required on other more costly and softer canvas sheets. Maybe I got a 'lucky' one.
I use the rear top feed (the feed behind the regular one), not through the front feed or the regular paper top feed.
It's also whiter than the Lumijet Masters canvas (if you can even find that now) and the canned canvas profile in the printer comes close enough for my uses. Have not tried it on the 1400 or 1800, since both of those have been unplugged since my first print from the 3880.
It's not a bad price at Adorama when bought by the box of 50. Hope this is useful.

Hi StuNY
I did not mean to mislead you, or anyone. I did not get a printable sample pack (yet anyway....) but rather a 4.25 x 2 inch stack of samples from Hahnemuhle. It is called a Digital Fine Art Collection, Media Sampler. Actually very handy as one can compare the look and feel of a myriad of products. Mind you still not as good as being able to print, but does narrow the field. In the Sampler the Monet looks a bit off white and the Daguerre is a bright white. The weave on the back seems to be the same even though not the same materials ( cotton vs cotton& poly).
Asample pack will be next if still available.
thanks to all for the comments

Oh, well yes Martin you do really want to make some prints on sample packs then when you can. When I went through it - obsessively probably- I ganged 12 of my favorite images with a range of colors/details/subjects and added some color/grey scale squares on an 8.5 x 11 layout. I spent two days printing all of my paper/canvas sample sheets and wow it was so fascinating to see my actual work and the impact the various samples had on each image. I also quickly realized the value of well made profiles as there was some real inconsistency among manufacturers. I still use that box of samples for reference even after settling into 4 primary papers and one canvas. Was well worth the cost of the sample packs to be able to see the same image collection printed the same way across so many different papers. Highly recommend the approach, and wish I could remember/credit the post I read that recommended it!

Lewis Hamilton admitted that he needs to be patient while he waits for his first win for Mercedes, saying that it is an ongoing process to get the best out of the car this year.
While Hamilton has produced better results for the Brackley-based outfit than many expected, the Briton is yet to win a race for his new team, while team-mate Nico Rosberg has claimed two victories already.
After last weekend's German Grand Prix, the 28-year-old admitted that he is still "struggling" to get to grips with the braking system of the W04 car.
"This year I've don't feel like I've been able to always drive my best because there's almost like a smaller operating window with this car," Hamilton said in an interview with Sky Sport's Martin Brundle.
"If you don't have it in that window the car's nowhere and you just have poor performances. From weekend to weekend I wish I could have always had it in the window but some weekends it's not been right. But I guess that will just take time with his new team.
"I'm driving a car that's been built and designed around another driver, Michael [Schumacher] and Nico [Rosberg], so I'm trying to adapt all the skills and driving methods that I have to work with this one."
Hamilton is the only driver on the grid to win a race in every season he has been in F1, but after going nine races without a win this year, time is running out for the former World Champion to prolong that record.
"This is a mental game as you know and you've just got to hold it together," said Hamilton, who is fourth favourite to win the title in the latest bwin f1 odds.
"There's 11 races [now ten after Sunday] to go. I know that I have a car that I can compete with these guys and we have more and more developments coming through, so I know we're there or thereabouts and I feel that I just have to bide my time and be patient because I feel it will come at some stage."

These tires are AMAZING, been using them for 9 months in my Legnum(Galant) VR-4, thrashing it daily, done about 5000km so far with minimal wear(1mm at most lost in the tread), great traction when throwing it in the corners, back end can break loose in the wet, and launching the car they break loose but come back very nicely. don't have snow here so cant rate.
a bit of road noise from them but more due to very stiff suspension and lowered, price is a little bit higher than average but good tires will buying again :D

Just put a set of 245/35/20 on my 01 lexus gs430. These grip well in dry weather. I have not tested them on wet weather yet. They are really smooth riding with minimal road noise. We will have to wait on tread wear with more time.

Gallery: Italy's Tilting Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank Creates its Own Shade
The Hypo Bank headquarters consists of two wings built into the earth at the base of the tower, which shoots up seven stories at a dramatic tilt. The structure is angled 14 degrees to the south, which allowing each floor to shade the floor beneath it during hot summer days. Naturally, a great deal of engineering accompanied the building's planning to make the design economical and workable. The tower features an east-west orientation with a narrow 14 meter-wide floor plan to allow daylight to reach every part of the office space.
The narrow floor plan features operable windows that encourage natural ventilation by allowing fresh air to flow through the spaces and up through the large central atria. Stairs and bridges criss-cross through this large open space, connecting the occupants together. The occupant's health, happiness, and productivity were also key design criteria, and as such, each office space offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The building plan optimizes the use of space while encouraging movement and activity in the employees.

i saw this article via twitter saying that we will have roughly 47 mil cap space. let me look for it quick. it was a good read.
Edit: here is the article i was talking about. Maybe one of you more knowledgeable on cap and cash, etc can help us with the validity of the numbers http://www.phinfever.com/newsite/ind...medium=twitter
Sadly we all know where this great thread is going to go soon enough....
Awesome post Catch, as was already said, these are the type of post that make it great coming here.....Thanks
great post! Its funny how so many people up here in NY always talked about Mike Tannenbaum as a great "cap guy"
I think you may be underrating the Bills a little. That's a team with a lot of talent. I think the worst thing that could happen to the AFC East is Matt Moore signing there. They have enough talent that even average QB play will bump them up into Wild Card contention. Of course, this is all dependent on how good of a coach the 'Cuse guy is...
But you are right in that of all the teams in the East that could "surprise" next year. The Bills seem most likely. They just have so many "if' s and question marks. Lets hope they do what they normally do. Underachieve.

Damn Henne was pretty good in his first few games. Tannehill's numbers are awful.
Damn Henne was pretty good in his first few games. Tannehill's numbers are awful.
I think we will know what we have in a QB after the season is played out. We could see some really big games from him coming up, or if he continues this mediocre performance, the future may not be looking so good.
Those who focus on numbers fail to understand the characteristics your looking for in the QB. If you did you would see the tremendous difference in ability in every aspect of the position between Henne and Tannehill. Its not even close.
He looked overmatched against Andrew Luck. You can say that's sensible, or not a big deal, until you realize there are always going to be Andrew Luck-types as the obstacle in playoff games. Can Ryan Tannehill run the gauntlet in that type of setting, like Eli Manning has? I have my doubts, to put it kindly. Tannehill still looks like a combo Danny White/Drew Bledsoe to me, with the low delivery and not exactly the highest number of permutations I've ever seen toward a successful play. Andrew Luck can deke and dodge and adjust no matter how the play evolves from scripted.
I was wondering how the Dolphins would respond last week, after their rookie quarterback was clearly second best on the same field against Luck. The media never mentions that type of thing but I'm always looking for situational impact. I thought it was a natural letdown spot against the Titans when you have to concede your guy is not on the same level. Besides, the .500 or worse team as a 6 point or greater home favorite mode was in play, a negative scenario.
Didn't you know you can ONLY talk about the numbers when he's doing well?
When he's not doing well, the numbers don't matter, he's just a rookie, and he has no help.
Regardless of who doesn't like to admit it, the numbers certainly are not Tannehils friend. If someone not associated with football compared all these numbers, they would certainly say Tannehill is a horrible QB. Now we all know he is rookie and not everything is his fault, but... The numbers are on his stat sheet and that is how he will be measured when it comes time for contract extensions, awards, and the like.
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
I'm pretty sure that if Wilson were our QB we would have won a few more of those close games. Wilson has that it at the end of games that we haven't seen from Ryan yet.
I also find it hilarious that some argue that we should have taken a WR and then waited to the 3rd round for a QB, which was something everyone knows desperately needed. God, if we passed on a QB in the 1st, I couldnt imagine what this forum would look like.

Like a painter who prizes the quality of his pigment, Gaya uses clean-tasting herbs like rosemary, parsley, and basilicum (the basil in Bali is extraordinary) and the purest prepared olive oils; fish is delivered daily from Jimbaran, freshly caught that morning; grass-fed beef is flown in from Australia. Gaya takes pride in homemade foods — which include breads and grissini, most of their pasta, and all of their delicious desserts. There are few heavy sauces as the climate does not call for it.
Gaya's cooking philosophy is that in the art of food, as in love, the individual flavour of one ingredient cannot outshine the other — perfect synergy must be accomplished for the pleasures of the palate. Only then can the singularity of one thing be enhanced by another's presence.

Will.i.am Goes Back in Time in 'Bang Bang' Video
Will.i.am is usually all about the future. During his award show performances, he tends to wear some out-of-this-world attire, looking like he just stepped out of a time machine. However, for his newest visual for "Bang Bang," the rapper-producer takes it back -- way back

An ex-boyfriend's looming wedding. Your sister's recent breast cancer scare. The realization that you can no longer walk up more than three flights of stairs without gasping like a beached beluga. There are plenty of good reasons to get your butt--and your health--in gear. But as anyone with a broadband connection knows all too well, the amount of feel-good advice about healthy choices out there is pretty damn overwhelming. How to sort out the must-dos from the entirely optional? Go straight to the experts to learn how to get healthy.
So we rifled through our Rolodex, called more than 70 top authorities on health and wellness, and asked each of them the same question: What are the most important things a woman can do to stay healthy? After weeks of taking notes and poring over research (our eyes are still bloodshot), we're passing the information on to you: a list of the 101 smartest tips, from the tried and true to the brand spanking new. Your strategy: Pick five this week. Implement. Next week, five more. The week after that--well, you get the idea. In no time at all, you're going to love what you see, and maybe even be a little bummed you didn't have these tips sooner. Sorry about that. Next time, we'll be more on the ball.
Can you hear me now? Plug your ears before you blow out your eardrums
Rocking out at home is one thing, but Spice Girls reunion concerts, lawn mowers, or fireworks can damage your hearing permanently. Properly fitting earplugs can provide a marked reduction in the amount of sound energy you're exposed to. Try Mack's silicone earplugs ($5 for six pairs, earplugstore.com ) or have an audiologist custom-make a pair for you. Cranking up the volume to 11 on your headphones can cause damage too, so listen at a reasonable decibel level. Don't make us repeat ourselves.
One thing you don't want in your mouth - Your contact lens
Each one is like a sponge--if you put it on your tongue or even rinse it under the tap, you slather on germs that are then absorbed into the plastic. Which you then stick directly onto your eyeball.
Watch where you stick that - Don't apply mascara in the car
One of the most common eye injuries: corneal abrasions caused by mascara wands. Youch! You snooze, you win!
Studies show that power naps can help you kill stress and recharge; just don't doze for more than a half hour. After 30 minutes, your body enters the deep stages of sleep, and studies show that if you wake up right before deep sleep, you'll feel more refreshed.
Score now, reap later - Sunglasses
Swap your H&M aviators for grown-up shades that block UVA and UVB rays, both of which up your risk of eye damage, including cataracts. We like Ryders Eyewear Sonnet Polarized sunglasses ($70, ryderseyewear.com ), which offer 100 percent UV protection.
Stop...drinking your calories.
Between 1995 and 2002, the number of calories Americans swigged each day more than doubled--and those from sugary quenchers like soda, fruit drinks, and alcohol quadrupled. That's a whole lot of Jamba Juice, people.
Know Thyself
Know your body composition A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that 25 to 30 percent of young women with a normal BMI (19 to 25) still carry excessive body fat. The easiest way to check your body composition is with bioelectric impedance analysis, available in many gyms and doctors' offices.
Know your family's health history Quiz the hell out of relatives, then download everything you learn to your M.D. Need help coming up with a list of questions? The U.S. Surgeon General's Family Health Portrait (familyhistory.hhs.gov ) offers easy instructions.
Know your cancer risk The American Cancer Society's Great American Health Check (cancer.org/greatamericans ) asks a few questions about your personal and family health history and then generates a list of recommended screening tests, plus tips on how to reduce your health risks. (We were told to nix the second margarita at happy hour and cut out the Cadburys.)
Know your cholesterol levels A survey by the Society for Women's Health Research revealed that less than a third of American women know their numbers. Get your cholesterol checked every five years, starting at age 20. You're in the clear if your total number is under 200 mg/dL, with an LDL (that's the bad kind) of less than 100 mg/dL and an HDL (that's the good kind) of 50 mg/DL or more.
Know your resting heart rate The lower the number, the less your heart has to work (and that's a good thing). Take your pulse in the morning, when you're most relaxed. Measure the number of beats in 10 seconds, then multiply by six. Your number should be between 60 and 80--even lower if you're athletic.
Know your waist-to-hip ratio The best test for predicting heart attacks may be the proportion of your waist to your hips. Measure your waist at the smallest point, then measure your hips at the widest point. Divide the first number by the second number: an ideal ratio is 0.8 or lower.

March 21, 2011 -- Growing numbers of male baby boomers are fighting harder than ever against the effects of aging by enthusiastically embracing facelifts, liposuction, and other cosmetic surgical procedures aimed at making them look younger, new research suggests.
While overall cosmetic surgery procedures in men rose 2% in 2010 over the previous year, many types of operations, such as facelifts, increased dramatically, says a new report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The report says facelifts increased 14%, ear surgery (otoplasty) increased 11%, and soft tissue filler increased 10%.
All told, men underwent more than 1.1 million cosmetic procedures in 2010, some invasive requiring surgery and others being minimally invasive.
In 2010, the majority of the top fastest-growing cosmetic procedures for men were surgical. The new statistics reflect a change in a trend in which minimally invasive procedures were previously rising faster.
"The growth in cosmetic surgical procedures for men may be a product of our aging baby boomers who are now ready to have plastic surgery," Phillip Haeck, MD, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and a partner in Plastic Surgery Associates of Seattle, says in a news release. "Minimally-invasive procedures such as Botox and soft tissue fillers work to a point. However, as you age and gravity takes over, surgical procedures that lift the skin are necessary in order to show improvement."
Stephen Baker, MD, a plastic surgeon in Washington, D.C., says people often think of celebrities when they hear about men going under the knife, but it's also becoming more common among regular guys.
He says the typical patient he sees is "an average guy who wants to look as good as he feels."
Baker, program director of the department of plastic surgery at Georgetown University Hospital, also says most of his patients "are 'men's men,' the kind of guy you might not think would have plastic surgery."
But with more and more baby boomers reaching retirement and increasingly showing signs of aging, many "want to look good," and opt for plastic surgery when they feel they have the financial resources to do so.
Here are the top 10 fastest-growing male cosmetic procedures by percentage increase in 2010 over 2009:
Here are the 2010 top five most popular surgical procedures by number for men:
Here are the top five most popular minimally invasive procedures by number for men:
According to the 2010 American Society of Plastic Surgeons report on cosmetic procedures in men and women, breast augmentation remains the top overall cosmetic surgical procedure, a position it has held since 2006.
Overall, breast augmentations rose 2% in 2010, but eyelid surgeries rose 3%. Liposuctions overall rose 2%, tummy tucks 1%, and nose reshapings (rhinoplasty) declined 1% in 2010.
Botox treatments rose 12%, laser hair removal 5%, and soft tissue filler procedures were up 3%.
Microdermabrasion procedures for men and women combined fell 9%, and there was no change in chemical peels.

'Funky Winkerbean' Makes The Case For Super Heroism In The Weirdest Possible Way
With all the chatter about DC's "Brightest Day" and Marvel's "Heroic Age" coming up this spring, it's looking like mainstream super hero comics' comparatively darker days could be trending downward. But aside from Conan O'Brien's ending his "Tonight Show" run with remarks denouncing cynicism, where should creators and fans look for inspiration as they enter this new phase of optimistic storytelling?

Interview: Ruud Visser transforms old churches and water towers into incredible modern homes
According to Visser, he first became interested in the preservation of old buildings when studying at the University of Delft in southern Holland. Since then, he has developed a strong belief in the profound importance of the existing environment, and he imbues this belief into the foundations of all of his architectural projects. "Our design process starts with the existing environment. We are inclined to the local, the small scale, but we do not merely copy it. We are averse from architecture that is associative. We aim to design in the pure grammatical language of architecture. At the end of the day it is our ambition to make contemporary architecture that intensifies the character of the existing environment."
Though Visser is responsible for a variety of projects, his firm is perhaps most famous for its inspired design House in a Church, completed last year, in which his firm transformed a cavernous church into a modern family home. Capricious and tumultuous enough to constitute the makings of a Disney film, the church's history was a long and sad one until Visser's renovation. "The original church was constructed in the 1930s, but since 1960 it was used as a garage for fixing cars and storage." Visser says that during this time as a garage, the church's exterior was covered with metal plates until the point that it resembled an airplane hangar.
It remained in this state until Visser and his firm stepped in with the goal of transforming the church into a modern family home. "[Since] the church had a volume of 3000 cube, as big as six average family houses, there was lots of space for just one family house… The challenge was to create a feeling of enclosure in this enormous space, without losing the grandeur of the church."

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
You Can Do Anything (Not)
Via Heritage, a great spoof on our self-esteem culture from SNL.
In the midst of humor, SNL struck on a sad reality for much of American culture. Faux-celebrities are placed on pedestals, while real success is shot down. As we're seeing in politics today, true measures of economic success—such as opening a business and making a profit—have become something of a scarlet letter rather than a badge of honor. Capitalism and the free market are under assault, politicians are fomenting class warfare, and a target has been drawn squarely on our country's job creators.

Comments On Jun 07, 2015:Installed on FJR1300. A must on bikes like these since rotors are huge. Make sure to offset the front tire one as these are long and can contact the caliper. Works well, no leaks from this product. Still gotta air up as tires are porous. These will be standard on my bike now.

Test ID: MPSF
Micropolyspora faeni, IgG Antibodies, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients suspected of having hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by exposure to Micropolyspora faeni
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Micropolyspora faeni is a causative agent of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Other causative microorganisms include Thermoactinomyces vulgaris and Aspergillus fumigatus. While the immunopathogenesis of HP is not known, several immune mechanisms are postulated to play a role, including both cellular and humoral mechanisms.(1)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-12 years: < or =4.9 mg/L
13-18 years: < or =9.1 mg/L
>18 years: < or =13.2 mg/L
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated concentrations of IgG antibodies to Micropolyspora faeni are consistent with the diagnosis of HP caused by exposure to this antigen.
Elevated concentrations of IgG antibodies to Micropolyspora faeni were found in a small number of sera from patients with HP (10%).(2)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
IgG antibodies to Micropolyspora faeni are detectable in healthy individuals, and the presence of antibodies is not sufficient to establish the diagnosis of HP caused by exposure to this antigen.
The levels of antibodies decrease following successful treatment of HP; but, elevated levels may persist for long periods.
The measurement of IgG antibodies to Micropolyspora faeni should not be relied upon exclusively to establish the diagnosis of HP.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Jenson Button says he's "surprised" by Seb Vettel's recent behaviour and comments as it is not what's required of a three-time Champ...
Jenson Button says he's "surprised" by Sebastian Vettel's recent behaviour and comments as it is not what is required of a three-time World Champ.
Vettel made headlines last time out in Malaysia when the German stole the victory from team-mate Mark Webber when he flouted team orders and overtook the Aussie.
The Red Bull driver's behaviour had divided opinion especially after he came out on Thursday saying he would have no qualms about doing it all over again.
And although some support the winner-takes-all mentality, saying it is pre-requisite for greatness, Button disagrees.
"That wasn't the case when he won the three World Championships, I don't think. And lots of people have won World Championships without being like that. So it's not the case at all," said the McLaren driver.
"I'm surprised he said that, personally. He's such a talented driver and he seems like a driver that the team love.
"Obviously, he's done it once. He knew what he was doing. We all want to win, but if you're told to hold station and you know that's the rule before the race, kick up about it before the race. Don't just do the opposite in the race.
"I think that's the biggest issue. If we had that issue (at McLaren)...first of all, I wouldn't have agreed before we went racing. In the race, you have to do as you're supposed to do, which is hold station."
The Brit, though, reckons Red Bull were in the wrong as well at Sepang as it is too early to start issuing team orders in round two of a Championship.
"I do not like team orders, but they're legal," said Button.
"I'd understand if I couldn't win the Championship - I'd understand if the team said, 'Right. You're leading this race, your team-mate is second and he needs support to win the Championship. Let him pass'.
"I wouldn't even need to be told that - I think it's the right thing to do. But in the second race of the season? No, I don't think it's the right thing to do. But other people obviously think it is."
