Health Information
PhosphorusSkip to the navigation
Phosphorus is an essential mineral that is usually found in nature combined with oxygen as phosphate. Most of the phosphate in the human body is in bone, but phosphate-containing molecules (phospholipids) are also important components of cell membranes and lipoprotein particles, such as HDL and LDL ("good" and "bad" cholesterols, respectively). Small amounts of phosphate play important roles in numerous biochemical reactions throughout the body.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Osteoporosis and Elderly People Taking Calcium Supplements
Refer to label instructions
Taking calcium can interfere with phosphorus absorption. Seniors with low phosphorus levels in their diet may want to take supplemental calcium in a phosphorus-containing preparation.
While phosphorus is essential for bone formation, most people do not require phosphorus supplementation, because the typical western diet provides ample or even excessive amounts of phosphorus. One study, however, has shown that taking calcium can interfere with the absorption of phosphorus, potentially leading to phosphorus deficiency in elderly people, whose diets may contain less phosphorus.1 The authors of this study recommend that, for elderly people, at least some of the supplemental calcium be taken in the form of tricalcium phosphate or some other phosphorus-containing preparation.
How It Works
How to Use It
Phosphorus supplements are unnecessary. Most multiple vitamin-mineral supplements do not contain phosphorus for this reason.
Where to Find It
Phosphorus is highest in protein-rich foods and cereal grains. In addition, phosphorus additives are used in many soft drinks and packaged foods. Phosphorus is not often present in supplements except for certain calcium supplements, such as bone meal.
Possible Deficiencies
Phosphorus deficiency is uncommon, because dietary intake is usually adequate.2 Chronic alcoholics may become deficient in phosphorus.3 and people taking large amounts of aluminum-containing antacids4
One study has shown that taking calcium can interfere with the absorption of phosphorus, which, like calcium, is important for bone health.5. Although most western diets contain ample or even excessive amounts of phosphorus, older people who supplement with large amounts of calcium may be at risk of developing phosphorus deficiency. For this reason, the authors of this study recommend that, for elderly people, at least some of the supplemental calcium be taken in the form of tricalcium phosphate or some other phosphorus-containing preparation.
Interactions with Supplements, Foods, & Other Compounds
Interactions with Medicines
Certain medicines interact with this supplement.
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Aluminum Hydroxide
Depletion of phosphorus may occur as a result of taking aluminum hydroxide. For those with kidney failure, reducing phosphorus absorption is the purpose of taking the drug, as excessive phosphorus levels can result from kidney failure. However, when people with normal kidney function take aluminum hydroxide for extended periods of time, it is possible to deplete phosphorus to unnaturally low levels.
Mineral Oil
Mineral oil has interfered with the absorption of many nutrients, including beta-carotene , phosphorus, potassium , and vitamins A , D , K , and E in some,7 but not all,8 research. Taking mineral oil on an empty stomach may reduce this interference. It makes sense to take a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement two hours before or after mineral oil. It is important to read labels, because many multivitamins do not contain vitamin K or contain inadequate (less than 100 mcg per day) amounts.
People taking sucralfate may develop lower than normal blood levels of phosphorus.9 A 42-year-old woman who took sucralfate for two weeks experienced bone pain that was caused by low phosphorus levels. The bone pain disappeared after she stopped taking the drug and began supplementing with phosphorus.10 Individuals taking sucralfate should have their blood phosphorus levels monitored regularly by their healthcare practitioner and may need to take supplemental phosphorus.

Side Effects
People with severe kidney disease must avoid excessive phosphorus. Based primarily on animal studies, some authorities have suggested that excess intake of phosphate is hazardous to normal calcium and bone metabolism,11 but this idea has been challenged.12 Phosphoric acid-containing soft drinks have been implicated in elevated kidney stone risk,13 , 14 but not all studies have found this relationship.15
Ingestion of excessive amounts of aluminum-containing antacids (such as Di-Gel®, Riopan®, Maalox®, or Mylanta®) can cause phosphorus deficiency.

Hey all,
Something we all need to be aware of for the upcoming elections, imo. Bush's idea of a New World Order involves a very long process of dismantling religious fanaticism around the globe, something I might post about later. But to make a long story short:
Some believe that the PRC is the sustainer and provider of religious fanaticism around the globe today. The arguments are involved, but evidence of the PRC supporting violent extremists around the globe to undermine U.S. foregin policy is aplenty. What do you think?
This was published on my blog and can be read there as well.
The CFR is today reporting that the U.S. will be re-orienting its military posture as the wars of the last decade "come to a close"; something I was not aware was happening. But if you know anything about who the people are who are discussing this, its a done deal and that is where USG foreign policy is almost certainly headed, in my narrow opinion, the 2012 Presidential Clown election notwithstanding.
This is a sad day for me. I am witnessing the slow motion decline of my country as the world's greatest economic and military power. This re-orientation is, as is always the case with nations in decline, driven by economic reality: The U.S. can no longer spend like it used to. The size of the U.S. economy, ceteris paribus, is drawing downward as the PRC rises to global prominence.
And the New World Order described by George Bush, Senior - as opposed ot the conspiracy version - requires that we deal with the PRC directly, as they are the ringleader of resistance to this agenda. Leading a pack of resistance to U.S. and western global hegemony, China is the linchpin behind the ability of countries like Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Brazil to buck the New World Order.
It is the economy of the PRC that allows these countries to withstand sanctions and harrassment from the west. The PRC provides both the production and the consumption to keep this small cabal of international resistance breathing ... indeed, doing quite well. While the west is in economic decline, the "resistance" is doing surprisingly well and getting better economically. We'll see where that goes.
I've postedthe USG's DoD Quadrennial Review that CFR is referencing, which is apparently the "cheaper" military USG is now going to build out.

...and the USA didn't? i suppose if its fundamental Christianity supplying arms that's OK.
That's not really the point I think.
You bloody well know as a country which countries supply arms to hostile 3rd countries. At the beginning of the Iraq war US soldiers were killed mostly by old Soviet Russian stuff. As the occupation progressed, China and Iran were making money as the opposition resupplied.
And there are no Chinese in the area, or anywhere else, being killed by Christian/NATO supplied weapons.
sounds like a pretty good answer to me
I'm curious about what action this information inspires you to take. I mean you obviously share it because you want to raise awareness. This implies that you'd like to see it change, and that you think that change is possible... which I guess would make you an optimist? I, on the other hand, look at this information and think "Abandon. Ship."
Hey C. Lewal,
Very perceptive analysis. As for wanting something to change, it depends on which parts you're talking about.
I very much do want to raise awareness of the fact that religion is a complex, global monster that ties into the future of Humanity, that has deep geopolitical connections, has been used and abused by virtually every aspirant for regional or world power in history, and is not just about our own personal, negative experiences in our communities.
If we care about the survival and continuance of Humanity we all have to act to eliminate or reduce the impact of religion globally, imo.
Your sentiment is the more common one which, no offense to those who feel that way, is precisely why religion has been used so successfully to exploit and take advantage of the masses for hundreds of years. It will be left to an "awakened" minority to do anything about this and, if you think it might be a lost cause, it could very well be. We won't know until the end game is on us, imo.
- kk
Hi Kir, sorry for the intrusion again. I still don't know what you're on about or what you are trying to achieve but I've always had an enquiring mind especially about things i know absolutely nothing about. Ive tried to look up Religious Hegemony on wiki and the page has been censored which makes me even more curious.
for me everything was explained in "All watched over by machines of loving grace " A brilliant documentary about the rise of the machines (computers) that now tend to govern us all and that Hegemony (as we know it) is fundamentally dead. But then why would Wiki ban something?

50 Years Ago: The Beatles' First 'Ed Sullivan Show' Appearance Changes the World
Subscribe to Q103 on
50 years ago today (Feb. 9), the world of rock music — and American culture in general — was turned upside down by the Beatles' legendary debut performance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.'
That seeds planted by this event would soon grow out of control, and for all intents and purposes, the world would never be the same again. As it's been described by more than one ecstatic soul — before John, Paul, George and Ringo, the world was in black and white, and after them it was in technicolor.
The Beatles arrived in America on Feb. 7 of that fabled year, and within 48 hours or so, a new era in youth culture would begin. They first appeared on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' on Feb. 9 for what would be the first of three consecutive weekly appearances. Watched by over 73 million viewers, it has long been mentioned as one of those 'where were you when…?' moments in history, and with 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' sitting atop the US charts, "Beatlemania" had officially begun!
The band performed five songs: 'All My Loving,' 'Till There Was You,' 'She Loves You,' 'I Saw Her Standing There,' and finally 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'. All except 'She Loves You' would appear on their first album for Capitol Records, 'Meet The Beatles,' released a couple weeks after this appearance. Oh and just for the record, it was live, not lip synced!
The Beatles would transcend mere 'pop culture' in ways never dreamt of before. They inspired countless kids to pick up instruments and start bands, leading to the rock and roll revolution that was the '60's and '70's. The impact of this simple event is still felt to this day. Need proof? Click the button below to hear Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Kiss and Aerosmith talk about how much this day meant to them, or watch Styx, Foreigner and Don Felder trade stories about the Fab Four's arrival in the video below that.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I would also like to see you register these with OFA. It is very important from a breeders stand point to know if a dog or bitch is producing this. When I look for a stud dog, I want to know what kind of prodgeny has been produced.
|My first impression is to ask how old the dog is but you've answered that. For the most part, I agree with what the vet is seeing, except the part about "both hips being poor but one hip being fair", that makes no sense, lol. Poor and fair are different things. But anyway...as far as treating the dog I agree with gsdsar and Nancy, treat the dog and not the x-ray. Vets often recommend a very safe route but don't take into consideration a dog's temperament. I have one dog that is very lazy and could live happily for many years on very restricted exercise, supplements, and pain meds but have other dogs that need to move and work or we will all go nuts.
I think what we see as the right hip, is the right side of the picture, which would be the dog's driver's side or left hip. That being the case, I agree that the dog's right hip is probably OFA Fair. The left hip, though is definitely not passing.
I also agree with treating the dog. If she is limping, then you need to really adjust what you are doing, add the supplements (do that anyway if possible), and consider surgery. The dog is young, and if she is in pain, she can still have a good life even if recovering from surgery is part of that.
However, if your dog is not limping, than keep going with her. Keep her fit, and keep taking her out and doing the exercise. That will do far more good for her than anything else. Not all HD dogs need surgery, even hips that look awful do not always need surgery. I do agree that there seems to be some arthritic changes going on, and, if you do feel that surgery is your best option, your dog may be a candidate for a surgery that cleans up the femoral head, rather than a full hip replacement. I think there are 4 different surgeries, dependent on the individual dog and joint.
I figured I would rather have a fun happy life that may be cut short early than a long safe one. I retired Cyra from SAR but let her chase balls to her hearts content figuring I would optimize the time she had on this earth. Her hips were worse than that at 3 and she had a fun active life until she died from hemangiosarcoma at 9. By then she was starting to need a little NSAIDs for stiffness but not before.
I really think going to a canine physical therapist to get good ideas for exercising YOUR dog would be great. Water walking, hill walking were recommended. Ball throwing was not but I threw balls in such a way she did not leap to get them or make sharp sudden turns.
Keeping her lean, doing range of motion exercises. There is a lot that can be done. Even agility - no maybe not competition and definitely not jumping but all the things that keep the musculature strong pay off.
Although the hips may not be great, there are things that can be done to make life better for the dog, I would suggest that you read up on what can be done to help HD. I don't feel comfortable making such suggestions, but your vet can probably help you with some worthwhile info. I DO feel that a dog should be able to enjoy life to the fullest, even with HD, but as responsible pet owners, we should know our pets limitations. Agility MAY aggravate the HD to some extent, simply because the pet is dealing with less than ideal hip connections. But regardless a dog can still live a very good life with HD. IMHO, Bob
I am a firm believer in treating the dog, not the X-ray. If your dog is moving well, showing no discomfort after training, then I would continue. I may limit the quick turns outside if Agility, so no ball chasing. But if she is still enjoying Agility....
I would start on Dasuquin, some Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, keep her skinny, and well muscled. Hill work, swimming, anything like that. And watch her for signs of discomfort.

|Thank you, for your honest opinion. I just needed to hear it from someone else. This dog is 2. I guess my true question is about what her prognosis is for the future. I do lots of activities with her including agility, which I know would be unsafe to continue. This is what the vet told me,:"Both hips are poor, however the right may grade fair at best. The femoral head of the left hip is not even rounded, it is square and the acetabulum shows signs of degenerative disease. The neck of the left femur connected to the femoral head also seems to be misshapen." She went on to say that she is surprised that she shows no clinical signs based on the x-rays-no limping, no obvious signs of pain, etc. She stated that I should be doing no high impact activity with this dog, so our agility career is over. She said no ball chasing. She recommended water therapy. She stated it was important to keep her in the best physical condition possible and keep her doing low impact activities. Lots of walks, swimming, etc."
Those are not good hips. On the right, as I view it, is very bad. Very little coverage. The left is not quite as bad. But they would not pass OFA.

What is your first impression upon viewing these hips?
Without any background on the dog, what is your first impression upon viewing these hips? I am asking because I want to know, from people who are experienced in looking at x-rays for GSDs, whether the information my vet gave me was objective or her own opinions.

In conjunction with the Children of the Sun Jazz Festival
LAKELAND, FL (April 4, 2013) -- On Saturday, April 6, 2013 The Ridge Orchid Society will be conducting tutorials on the proper care for orchids including orchid repotting demonstrations at Hollis Gardens located at 702 Eat Orange Street, Lakeland, FL 33801. Demonstrations will be done on the top of the each hour from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you are an orchid lover, but intimidated by repotting your plants as they grow, you need to attend this event! The care and feeding of orchids isn't as complicated as you might think, but does need to be done properly to ensure your plants look great and flower often. Bring your orchid questions and be ready to learn!
The Lakeland Garden Club Inc. will also be onsite creating four container gardens throughout the day. The gardens will be constructed at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m. (between the orchid repotting demonstrations). There will be a drawing once the container gardens have been planted and four randomly selected winners will each take home one of the newly created container gardens. This day of demonstrations is free and open to the public! No reservations are required.
Hollis Garden is a formal 1.2 acre botanical garden donated to the City of Lakeland by the Hollis Family. The garden is located on historic Lake Mirror accessible from the Lake Mirror Promenade and Orange Street. The garden contains several water features and displays thousands of flowering plants, ornamental shrubs, historic trees, herbs and vegetables. The beautiful layout of Hollis Gardens is set in a neo-classical architectural environment complete with patterned flower beds, public art and ornamental fountains.

text: I watched Liza's and Artur's performances at the Russian Nationals. From a Russian Champion Liza went down to 10th place. Her PCS scores are way lower than the top ladies. Yes, she made mistakes on some jumps, but the low PCS scores indicate that the programs that she skates to are not what the judges and the specialists want. She can do much better, but I think she is stuck in Mishin's world of tasteless programs and non-existing choreography. And Artur does not show any signs of enjoyment. I really hope they leave Mishin. Their technic is fine, they need fresh packaging and someone that will help them get their confidence back. Their season is over, and it was their worst ever. Very sad.

Seniors Xiong, Krenzien Score in Home Finale
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Seniors Sabastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) and Sam Krenzien (Wauwautosa, Wis.) both found the back of the net on their Senior Day at Aldo Santaga Stadium, but visiting Oakland (6-6-5, 4-2-1 HL) scored three first-half goals and stole a 3-2 victory at Green Bay (7-6-3, 2-3-1 HL) in Horizon League men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon.
Green Bay jumped out with a couple of early opportunities on Saturday, but both Krenzien and junior Lawrence Talery (Coon Rapids, Minn.) were unable to tally goals. Oakland, playing their first season as a Horizon League member, responded with a flurry.
A foul in the box gave Oakland's Joey Tinnion a penalty kick in the eighth minute. Freshman keeper Kyle Ihn (Wales, Wis.) was up to the challenge with a diving save, but Tinnion corralled the rebound and scored for a 1-0 lead.
The Golden Grizzlies had two more goals in a five-minute stretch midway through the first half to move in front 3-0 by the 24th minute.
Just 34 seconds after falling behind 3-0, Green Bay received a penalty kick of its own in the 25th minute. Xiong stepped up and took the kick, and his strike was too tough for Oakland keeper Sean Lewis. Xiong improved to 3-for-3 on the season on penalty kicks with his fifth marker of his senior campaign.
After four combined goals in the opening 25 minutes, the next 59-plus minutes would feature scoreless action as Green bay remained in a 3-1 hole. In the 84th minute, Krenzien collected the ball above the box, dribbled into space and fired a beautiful shot with his left foot to beat Lewis. The goal was the 11th of the season for Krenzien to tie Milwaukee's Laurie Bell for the Horizon League lead.
The Phoenix kept the pressure on looking for the equalizer in the final five minutes, but the Golden Grizzlies survived an onslaught of Green Bay pressure to claim the road victory.
The two teams each took 13 shots in the contest while Green Bay held a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks. Ihn stopped six shots in the net for the Phoenix while his counterpart Lewis made four stops.
Green Bay will finish the 2013 regular season away from home next Saturday, Nov. 9, traveling to Chicago to face Horizon League regular season champion UIC at 1 p.m.

Guys, I am stuck trying to decide which firearm to purchase since I decided to move into competitive shooting this year. I love the Glock 35 and I intend to purchase one soon. However, I wonder if it can ever be as accurate as the 2011 STI 40 caliber firearms on sale. I am also factoring that the STI is pricey whereas the Glock can be bought for less than $600 bucks. I want a sporting firearm I can use to get the best results and improve on my game. In seeking advice from local guys I was told that the STI will bring up my game to a whole new level, as the Glock is not as as accurate as the STI, for competitive shooting. I have also been using the Tanfoglio in 9mm for practice sessions. Its an all metal pistol and it is very accurate. I can get very good groupings at various distances, but they are not as readily available in my neck of the woods.
If you were in my shoes, which would you choose and why?

Stepping out for a hard day of reality TV filming, Kourtney Kardashian arrived at her sister Kim's house in Beverly Hills on Thursday (March 14).
The eldest Kardashian sister looked cute in a patterned blue and white sleeveless dress and white sandals as her step-father, Bruce Jenner, followed after.
Though many have marveled at the way Kourtney Kardashian bounced back into shape after having two children, her progress this time around is not fast enough for partner Scott Disick.
Encouraging fans to check out her show, Kourtney Kardashian posted a preview of Sunday's episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami" earlier in the day (February 17).
Continuing their vacation in paradise, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West took in the sights at Vidigal Favela with Will Smith in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday (February 10).
Showing off her growing baby bump in a white dress, the reality star kept close to her casually dressed main man as they took in the beautiful views.
In the latest episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami," Kim Kardashian reveals where her priorities lie in terms of those closest to her.
Giving fans a sneak peek of the fun to come, a new preview has been released for "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami".
The reality show follows sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian as they heat up the South Florida scene.
After a relaxing day out and about, the Kardashian sisters all headed to the DASH store in Miami on Saturday (December 15) to check up on their south Florida boutique.
Checking in on their latest venture, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian showed up at the Dash boutique location in Miami, Florida today (December 12).
Both sporting trendy peplum skirts, the E! reality television starlets looked to be in the zone as they headed inside to take care of some business.

On the Hill: Monday's Vail ski report with video
December 3, 2012
Vail official report: 1 inch new snow, 18 inches mid-mountain base.
Vail Daily field report: 1 inch heavy snow.
Liftline status: First-chair crowd-at Eagle Bahn was large today but quickly mellowed out.
Weather: Cold and cloudy, air is a little moister today.
Breakdown: When you're this hungry for snow, sometimes a little is all you need. An inch of heavy snow layered itself over Vail's impeccably groomed surface today, resulting in what may have been the best turns of the season for many. We've had other dustings this year, but not with snow this heavy and not since top-to-bottom skiing became available at Vail. The heavy snow makes an inch feel more like, well, 2 inches, which was good enough for the large group of anxious locals out at Vail this morning. The old phrase "an inch is as good as a mile" may not be applicable here, but you get the idea.
Snowcast: It looks like there's more in the forecast for later in the week starting around Thursday.

Re: destroyed impeller
Thanks, I did the back flush thing and even better than checking the input hoses, I replaced them with new. I really did not find any pieces, so they must have been ground up (there was a lot of 'black dust' in the intake water pump). She seems to be good as the Yanmar starts right up and runs just fine. The oil and the coolant look good too. The scale buildup did not look too bad so I put that off until another day. We have a Moonlight cruise coming up this week and I wanted to get everything back together and tested as soon as possible. So far so good.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions on this procedure. I had not planned to open the end face plate of the heat exchanger, just flush it using the output and input hose connections. But I could be convinced otherwise.
Unless you've already made this effort and my comments are redundant, simply back washing with a garden hose to the output side of the heat exchanger and a hose to a bucket on the input side should wash out the "bits 'n pieces". If they do not appear, check the hose between your raw water pump and the heat exchanger as they may be lodged there.
Once you've recovered the debris, to clean out the tube bundle itself, you can use a cleaning agent like RydLyme or Barnacle Buster in a bucket with a small inexpensive submersible bilge pump ($29.00 at WM). A hose from the pump is connected to the discharge side of the heat exchanger and the hose from the input side is led back to the bucket. You can power the pump with some jumpers led back to your house bank. By recirculating a solution of RydLyme in this manner, you will remove most of the scale that may/will have built up in your tube bundle. If you are worried about debris being recirculated, a couple of wraps of cheese-cloth around the base of the submersible pump makes a pretty efficient filter without obstructing flow. You can test the efficacy of the solution by dipping a shell in the bucket. As long as it "fizzes" the stuffs still good. Four to six hours should be more than long enough with RydLyme although there is a table of recirculation times on the company's web-site.
In future, hang your ignition key on the handle of your raw water through hull.
Re: destroyed impeller
Sorry, I cannot help as I am not familiar with the Atomic 4, you might start another thread and ask the question as people with Atomics may not be monitoring this thread as they know it is about a Yanmar.

It was the end of our first season keeping the key stored on the thru-hull valve handle and I was taking her over to the pump-out just prior to haulout. Tied up at the pump-out dock, grabbed the "key" for the deck pump-out fitting and... it didn't fit?!?! What the blue blazes? Check the drawer. Nope, that had to be it, because there was nothing else in the.... waitaminute... there should be two "keys" in there: One for the water tank and one for the pump-out. Looked up at the engine key switch and there it was. Oh no... Sure enough: The normal key was still hooked around the handle of the closed through-hull valve.
Luckily it was fairly cool water and air that time of year and I hadn't gone far. The impeller was fine.
Re: destroyed impeller
This is a little off the topic. Hope you don't mind. I have an atomic four engine and the water pump isn't being turned by the engine so it is overheating. I looked where the water pump shaft enters the engine and there is nothing there to interact with the water pump. Did something disintegrate? Any thoughts?
Re: destroyed impeller
Nice job, Capn, It's always good to hear the results of these issues. Glad it all worked out.
I've had to do exactly what you just went through. Like you, I got to know my engine; it is satisfying. This is my 1st diesel...after having an atomic 4 for a long time.
Re: destroyed impeller
Just to bring this to closure. I disassembled the heat exchanger, I never did find the last 2 blades of the impeller, so I am assuming they ended up as grit and dust in the original raw water pump. I cleaned the heat exchanger (the best I could, I will try the vinegar at some point), and reassembled with new o-rings, seals and hoses (just because it was time). Opened up the end of the heat exchanger looks like this;
Initially I had a frozen bolt, I used Blaster 16-PB, left it overnight and that did the trick. The engine coolant outflow nozzle was pretty rusted, but still thick enough, so I cleaned it and used Permatex Ultra-Copper as a coating before I put the new hose on it.
After reassembly I ran the engine thru its passes and found no leaks and water flowing fine out the exhaust. This is my first boat so I am learning as I go, it is satisfying to get things back together and have them work the first time. A bit of time (and money) is all it took!
thanks for all the input.
Re: destroyed impeller
Thanks, sounds like a fairly straight forward project for this weekend, I will go with eventually removing the end plate (I may try the vinegar flush first), it is only 4 bolts (it would be a good time to put anti-seize on them as well, as I do everything I take apart and put back together.)
I still like the idea of a valve with a sensor built in, even if it just went to a light on the panel, you could tell by a quick look what was open and what was closed. Instead of the guessing game, did I close that one, well lets check.
Speed seal look like an interesting product, but the damn faceplate screws are on the engine side of the pump. I guess they have to be because the pulley is on the front side. Anyway if the impeller did not break down by running dry that would be a plus.
thanks all,
Re: destroyed impeller
If your Yanmar is like my 2GM20F, the exchanger doesn't have coils, but simple straight-through pipes arranged in a cylinder--looks like a Gatling gun barrel. You should be able to clear the front of them by removing the forward cap on the exchanger. Four bolts I think.
Re: destroyed impeller
CaptRon, been there done that! Like every one else has said, you'll want to find those blades. I also recommend hanging the key on the seacock. Key has lived there since I learned my lesson.
Also IIRC Yanmar recommends having the valves adjusted after overheating the engine. Took about an hour on my 3GM for the mechanic to do it & truth be told he said the clearance on the valves was okay but, better safe than sorry.
PS I commend you for having a spare pump. They are a b%^ch to replace while at sea.

No, not for the new season of "Downton Abbey," which begins on KET Sunday at 9/8 pm CT.
The wait I'm talking about is everyone's favorite drama playing at the state capitol in Frankfort for the next 30 days—the 2013 session of the General Assembly.
Lawmakers return to the city by the river next Tuesday, Jan. 8th for their "short" session; every other year they meet for a 60-day session. And, boy, do members have a lot on their plates.
This weekend on "One to One," you'll get to hear Gov. Steve Beshear outline what he'd like to see legislators tackle in the next few weeks. In addition to public employee pension reform, tax reform issues, and a rather interesting approach to getting an expanded gambling constitutional amendment on the ballot. Beshear will also discuss his push to raise the age a young Kentuckian can legally stop attending public school from age 16 to age 18.
Then, on Monday night's "Kentucky Tonight," Beshear returns to KET and is joined by Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo of Prestonsburg and the new President-designate of the Senate Robert Stivers, of Manchester. Our topic, of course, will be the 2013 session of the General Assembly.
I hope you'll be watching.

Riding a motorcycle is one of the most visceral experiences (short of flying a fighter plane) you're likely to engage in. It requires your total attention while at the same time freeing your mind from the mundane cares of the day. And that experience is heightened when you throw a leg over a brand new bike and punch the starter for the first time. Whether you've been riding for years or are just now considering your first motorcycle, we've compiled a list of what to look for when buying a new motorcycle.
New or Used
Once you've made the decision to buy a new, or new-to-you, motorcycle one of the first considerations is how much you're prepared to spend. And it's that element of price that often leads buyers to consider purchasing a used bike.
It's true that there are plenty of low-mileage motorcycles on the used market, and many of them are in fair to good condition. But unless you're a mechanic, or have a trusted mechanic who's willing to inspect a used bike for you, you're never really sure of what you're getting if you buy used, especially from a private seller.
Low mileage, especially on a motorcycle that's several years old or older, means the bike has spent long periods of time just sitting. Motorcycles were made to be ridden, and all kinds of bad things can be traced back to inactivity. Fluids begin to thicken and lose molecular integrity. Rubber parts, like hoses, gaskets and tires, begin to dry out and crack.
After you've plunked down your cash and ridden off, all of those problems just waiting to reveal themselves are yours and yours alone. And that brings us to another shortcoming of buying used from a private seller; you'll need to have the entire purchase price up front. Many dealers who sell pre-owned motorcycles will offer financing, even on used bikes, but you generally won't get as good a deal on the terms as you can when purchasing new.
When buying a new motorcycle the price may be a little higher, but virtually every manufacturer offers a good to very good warranty. And many dealerships have pre-paid maintenance programs that you can roll into the purchase price of the bike and finance. If you need new gear (like a helmet, jacket, gloves or the like) to go with your new motorcycle, dealers will often give you some sort of a discount since you're buying a bike from them at the same time.
There is one other category of motorcycle you may want to consider that splits the difference on price between new and used. That's the "new, non-current" motorcycle. These are bikes that are new but left over from previous model years. Bikes in this category will carry the same factory warranty as other new models, but since they've been in the dealer's inventory, sometimes for two or three years, you can often get a great deal on them.
Which Type of Motorcycle
Consider the type of riding you're most likely to do. Do you picture yourself on a cross country ride? Will you be using your new motorcycle for daily commuting? Are you going to hit the trails on the weekend and ride the same bike to work come Monday? Is cruising with friends on the back roads or to your favorite eatery more your style? There's a new motorcycle made to fit each of those needs and more.
While there is no official standard for identifying motorcycle types, there are several classifications that are universally recognized. Though manufacturers continue to innovate and add sub-categories, the type of motorcycle that is right for you is a major factor in what to look for when buying a new motorcycle.
Sportbikes are built for speed and handling. The combination of high foot pegs and a relatively long reach to the handlebars on a sportbike puts the rider into a position leaning over the fuel tank. The high ground clearance of a sportbike means that they are excellent in carving through curves, but they generally have higher seat heights which will challenge shorter riders to be able to reach the ground with both feet at a stop. Sportbikes have high performance engines and strong brakes that must be treated with respect.
Cruisers feature a leaned back riding position and engines tuned for low end torque which makes for a more relaxing ride. Their lower seat height makes handling the heavier bikes a little easier.
Standard, or naked bikes, have a more neutral riding position. These are general purpose motorcycles that are often recommended for beginning riders.
Touring motorcycles are built for long rides and generally include fairings and/or windscreens and luggage. Full dressers are touring models based on the cruiser style that usually have hard saddlebags and a trunk. Sport touring bikes are based on sportbikes, but have a less extreme riding position.
Dual sport, or dual purpose or on-road/off-road bikes are street legal but feature many of the attributes of dirt bikes, such as a high seat height and exceptional ground clearance.
Whichever type of riding you plan to do should help you narrow down the type of new motorcycle you consider. It's important that you find a bike that not only fits your style but your body type and riding experience. If this is going to be your first new motorcycle and you're determined to buy a sportbike you may want to consider one with a smaller engine size, in the 250 cc to 500 cc range. Likewise, if you've decided on a dual sport bike be sure to visit a dealership and sit on one to see if your feet can reach the ground at a stop before you buy.
Other Considerations
As you research your purchase you'll probably consider a number of other factors. Many of these will be limited by the type of motorcycle you decide on, but even within a certain category of bike you may find some variations.
Drive type is one such consideration. The final drive on a motorcycle is the means by which power is transferred from the engine to the rear wheel. The types of final drive are chain, belt and shaft. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Chains are more efficient at delivering power to the rear wheel, but they also can be messy and require more maintenance. Shaft drives are quiet and require very little maintenance, but they do add weight to the motorcycle and aren't as efficient in transferring power. Belts are neater than chains and require less maintenance, but aren't available on as many types of bikes as chains.
Fuel delivery system is also something to think about. Many motorcycles now come with electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems as opposed to carburetors. EFI systems require less maintenance and are generally more efficient, but they will add to the cost of a motorcycle.
Some manufacturers are now offering anti-lock brakes (ABS) on certain models. There are advantages to ABS, but it will add to the final cost of the bike. And if you've been riding for years without ABS it may take a little getting used to.
Engine displacement, or size, is a big consideration. Many manufacturers offer a variety of engine sizes within a model family. The size of the engine is going to determine a number of things about a motorcycle, such as price, gas mileage and insurance rates. So even after you've decided on a specific model of motorcycle you'll need to think about how big an engine you need. A bigger engine is going to provide more power, which will be a good thing if you're a bigger person or plan on regularly carrying a passenger. But it's also going to add to the weight of the motorcycle, which will make it relatively more challenging to control and maneuver.
When you buy your new motorcycle can also have an impact on how much you pay. Unless you just can't wait another second to get on that new ride and start cruising the boulevard, if you buy during the off season, in most parts of the country from fall to very early spring, you can usually find better deals than you'll get when demand is higher in the middle of the riding season.
Three "Must Dos"
If you've been riding for awhile chances are (hopefully) that you've already done the first two of these "must do" items. The first, get licensed. Every state requires motorcyclists to be licensed to ride on public roadways. Studies have found that unlicensed motorcyclists are much more likely to be involved in accidents.
Get training. A Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) class will do wonders for a rider's (especially a new rider) confidence. A beginning or advanced rider class will also equip you with skills that will not only last a lifetime, but may save your life on the road. And most insurance companies will offer discounts to riders who have passed a class.
Read the owner's manual. No matter how long you've been riding, when you're buying a new motorcycle it's important to be as familiar with it as you can. The manual will cover all of the features of your new motorcycle as well as maintenance intervals and tips for storage during the off season.
Where to Start Looking
There are a lot of things to look for when buying a new motorcycle. So many in fact that it may be a challenge to know where to begin. PowerSportsTV.com offers some wonderful resources to help you get started. You'll find reviews not only on specific model motorcycles, but also on motorcycle dealerships.
When you do a search for a motorcycle, PowerSportsTV.com will not only give you a review, but will also show you comparable models by other manufacturers and a list of dealers in your area that carry that bike.

text: First, I'll say I'm not sold on Davis either, but for different reasons. I'm concerned about his weight and whether he can keep it under control. He's a few double cheeseburgers away from playing at Shaq weight. That would seriously hurt a game that replies on hustle and speed. At that weight he may well be prone to injury too. And I'm not convinced he's really 6'9", though with his boxy shape it's hard to tell. His Sprocket Points justified salary for last season was a little over four million, so he's clearly performing well above the rookie scale, and I don't think he has to do much more to earn a five year deal between 20 and 24 mil, maybe starting at $3.5 with ten percent raises. I think I'd most disagree with the notion that he played a low pressure role. First, I don't think anyone gets off easy on a KG team. I bet he puts a lot of pressure on his teammates by himself. Second though, the kid played big when it counted (and single handedly took the Pistons apart at least once). Without bad shooting from Boston's backcourt he would have done enough to put that team past Orlando. He scored when he needed to and fought hard on the glass. He stared down some tough opposition once KG went down and played very well on a very high pressure stage. I think he's got the heart, the mind, and many of the skills, but he needs to grow some more, and not on the outside.

BIOGRAPHYGordon Hoople is a researcher in Pisano Lab focused on designing microfluidic chips for biological applications. He joined Pisano Lab after working for 3 years in industry as an aerospace dynamics consultant. Prior to this he earned his general engineering degree from Harvey Mudd College.
QES: Micro LHP Cooler - An In-Situ Hermetic Seal for High Heat Flux Microfluidic Devices [BPN662]The ultimate project goal for the micro Loop Heat Pipe Chip Cooling System is to design and fabricate a substrate with
high thermal conductivity that can be interfaced directly with high heat flux electronic chips. This new technology will be
capable of satisfying the constantly increasing cooling requirements of today's electronic devices. A prototype has
already been developed that utilizes phase change technology to absorb large heat fluxes through latent heat. In order to
perform functional testing, however, a reliable hermetic sealing method must be developed. The major challenge in
developing this sealing method is that it must seal the device in-situ to prevent non-condensable gasses from entering
the system. This research is focused on identifying the most viable method for in-situ microfluidic device sealing.

I played through the entire episode earlier today. I continued from a savefile from yesterday. Worked like a charm.
When i sat down just now to play through the game again, a second time, to make other decisions i wanted to start from a new save file but i found out that my old was gone.
This was all done from the same computer. I haven't installed the game on any other machine.
I'm really bummed out because the decisions i made in the first save file are the ones i want to continue episode 2 with. And what happens if this happens again? What if i loose my save file when i have completed episode 4??!?!?!?
Has this happened to anyone else and how do i fix this?
Edit: when i started the walking dead game i was also starting up diablo 3. I got some errors about direct 3d from walking dead game and when i restarted the game it started in windowed mode 1024x768 so my settings where reset. this was just before i found out that the save files where missing.
Edit: im unable to reproduce this now. but i think i started diablo 3 first. is it possible that this is some racecondition that caused the walking dead game to fail to sync to steam cloud and reset its settings and save files? the windowed thing is weird though, i dont remember that being standard...

Suggestions on plants/fish for my first pond
Hey, I've never set-up a pond before, but I'm planning on creating a small container pond this Summer. I live in New York, so this will only be a Summer-time project. I'm not looking to raise Koi or grow lily pads or anything like that. I'm mainly interested in growing some stem plants for their emersed growth and flowers. Although, I am also interested in keeping a few interesting bog plants or something like that that you wouldn't normally see in an aquarium. I'm thinking of breeding endlers or some other small fish like that in there as well, not sure yet. As this will be my first pond, any suggestions for flora/fauna will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
What about things like star grass, bog bean, arrow heads, bog iris, and certain lilys (spider lily). Those are a few that I have in my pond that do well.
As far as fish go I have rosy red minnows and shubunkins. They over winter in my pond, of course I'm in Alabama and the water never freezes.
Parrot's feather for emersed growth, Floating Hearts and Water Hyacinths for Flowers - all easy to grow...
Suggestions on plants/fish for my first pond
Lizards tail and Bacopa caroliniana are my favorites but I like to keep it simple.
Edit: the great thing about these plants is that you can bring some clippings in and slowly submerse them in a display tank for the winter. The bacopa has very fragrant flowers and the lizards tail has heart shaped leaves which grow quite large and more arrowhead shape when emersed but become compact and fuller when submersed. Neither of these plants are demanding of light and will thrive in most conditions. I plant my bacopa at the small catchment at the bottom of my wall fall. It loves it and so do the frogs! Plus with the constant disturbance from the fall it makes that part of the yard smell great.
Shubs are still goldfish and get to 9-18 inches long. NOT a good container summer pond.
Any kind of livebearer would do great, how hot does your summer get? Don't get any tiny fish that can't handle the heat, as the water in a container will shoot up with the air temp.
I release my platy in my 3k koi pond. They breed like mad in there and I scoop them all up for winter.
Endlers will breed like mad, you will only need a few to get started.
I did a 25g container pond last summer. had a small powerhead running a mini waterfall, planted with wisteria, parrots feather, rotala, and duckweed and frogbit. I threw a half dozen or so swordtails in it. When I tore it down in early fall I had roughly 2 dozen swordtails!
I have a guppy pool. It's a no brainer. Though I started out with a tropical fish pool, thanks to guppy breeding habits now most of the fish are guppies.
That doesn't mean the other fish died though. I have a bunch of different kinds, and apart from dying of old age seem to being doing as well as the guppies, and one egg layer has mastered reproducing on its own in the pool. LOL
It's a tiny, native fish called Bluefin killifish which grow longer but , because they are a bit skinnier than a male guppy.
They are trouble free killifish, and the males are very colorful.
They don't require any special handling like other killis that need some dry time to reproduce Etc. and live as long as guppies.
What you want to create is actually very close to ideal conditions for those guys.
In fact the person I bought them from kept them alive during the summer in mop buckets. They are swamp fish and can easily survive conditions that would kill most tropical fish.
I've had neon tetras in there for over a year as well.
Despite their reputation for being delicate, I have found them to be as hardy as the guppies surviving all sorts of accidents as I changed things to find the right set up for me. They are supposed to die when water drops to 60degrees, but they survived that a few times (due to a heater mishaps in winter).
In fact I have a variety of tetras in there, and they all seem to do rather well, and much better than my experience putting them in an inside tank.
It makes me wonder if their reputation for being delicate has far more to do with being unable to cope with the extreme water chemistry that is an aspect of keeping them in 20 or 30 gallon aquariums more than actually being simply delicate.
In the pool I'm guessing the much greater ability of a much larger volume of water to buffer such things and prevents them from exceeding their tolerance.
IF YOU WANT SMALL and active ;) get bumblebee gobies, and no they don't need a brackish set up. People seem to think brackish means something distinct from fresh water, but that's not exactly true.
They also have done quite well, and are constantly patrolling the pool as if they are the sheriff and deputy always on the look out for something new and unusual. LOL
The brackish water that many guides say fish like puffers, bumblebee gobis and dwarf mud crabs require would be "freshwater" to our senses, because were we to drink it, we would NOT taste salt at all.
It's also fresh enough for freshwater plants to do fine.
An example of a brackish river is the Texas Brazos river. If you ask people who know of the river however most would say it was a freshwater river, and think you were crazy to call it brackish since that's where the city of Waco gets its drinking water without desalinization. LOL
Only when I added some dwarf mud crabs did I add a minuscule amount of salt.
Also at 1" pygmy sunfish might do great. Since they are native they can tolerate extreme conditions with little effort. Males are beautifully colored and far more likely to thrive with far little effort.

Lately, I was lucky enough to get my hands on an HP 2740p Tablet, which hit the market not long ago. I was definitely interested in giving it a try, mostly because it had a solid state drive, but also to find out how Linux would cope with its hardware. Let's just say my experience was far from the smooth trip I had planned, so I thought I'd share some of the things I did to overcome those problems. I hope some of my ideas may help others in case they face a similar situation.
When I first had a chance to test the 2740p, I used the two USB drives I usually carry with me, holding Ubuntu 9.10 and PCLinuxOS 2010 respectively, and booted from them. I could not see any evident problems, so I assumed it would be just another Linux "friendly" box.
When I got home, I tested the same things again and it didn't take long before I found some problems. PCLinuxOS 2010 was working well for the most part, but had problems with 3D rendering, effectively resulting in Compiz not being available. Ubuntu 9.10 was working fine in terms of graphics, even with 3D effects fully functional, but would not recognize the Wireless card.
My initial thought was that Ubuntu 10.04, specially because of its LTS nature, would be better and more complete in terms of hardware support, so I went ahead and tested it. Surprisingly enough, not even with the latest updates did I get it to work. I could hear login sounds and the usual Ubuntu session start tune, but the screen was pitch black. Linux Mint 9 and Pardus 2009.2 were suffering from the same problems.
As you can imagine, I was puzzled to see Ubuntu 9.10 supporting a video card that Ubuntu 10.04 did not support. What's that supposed to mean!?
It was clear to me that most Linux distros were not dealing with the hardware successfully. I therefore had to try and find out which hardware exactly I was dealing with, so I could find more information online. The LSHW command is invaluable in this regard.
The command above would list all hardware available in your machine. It is usually a good idea to pipe it to a file, so we can reference it later.
lshw > hardware.txt
Similarly, you can apply filters to limit the output of this command. In this case, I was interested in the display and network information. Here's the command I used:
lshw -C display && lshw -C network
Here's the output I got:
*-network description: Wireless interface product: BCM4312 802.11b/g vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:43:00.0 logical name: eth2 version: 01 serial: 78:e4:00:68:5e:20 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=184.108.40.206 ip=192.168.128.109 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 resources: irq:19 memory:d0500000-d0503fff *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 12 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:34 memory:d0000000-d03fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff(prefetchable) ioport:5050(size=8)As you can see, the hardware that was giving me a headache was:
Intel HD Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller
Broadcom BCM4312 Wireless card
Before going into full blown driver hunting, it is interesting to scan a few distros and see what kind of hardware support each one provides. A few CD-Rs is all it takes, but because the 2740p has no local CD drive, I had to create a few LiveUSBs instead.
As I already mentioned, none of the following distros did the job in this case:
PCLinuxOS 2010
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 10.04
Linux Mint 9
Pardus 2009.2
Fedora 13
My options were very limited, but my best bets were Ubuntu 9.10 and PCLinuxOS 2010.
I decided to go with Ubuntu 9.10. The main reason is that Ubuntu is far more popular than PCLinuxOS, so getting information from forums or even finding some kind of hardware support was more likely. In this case, it was about finding a way to get support for my Broadcom wireless card.
Simply searching for the specific card model on Google was enough to get some interesting information from forums. I found some relevant tutorials to get some Windows drivers to work using Ndiswrapper and even some Broadcom hybrid drivers available from their official website. I thought I had a better chance of getting things to work using those hybrid drivers, so I downloaded them and off I went.
I finally set up an Ubuntu 9.10 LiveUSB, installed it on the machine and completed all updates using an ethernet connection. As I was getting ready to reboot the machine, Ubuntu automatically found that certain hardware required proprietary drivers to work (How cool is that?). It ended up being quite simple, as it did it all automatically. I only had to download the drivers recommended by Ubuntu and recycle the machine.
On and off, I spent about two days testing different things until I found a viable solution. This is specially annoying when I see that the video card in this machine was supported in the second to last Ubuntu release, but is not in any of the latest major Linux releases, with the exception of PCLinuxOS 2010. Not even Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (with its supposedly enhanced hardware support) nor Fedora 13 (theoretically including cutting edge video drivers and XORG changes) could even get the screen to blink.
The Kernel compilation policy is criticized sometimes for this apparent "stepping back" behavior. I personally believe that it is mostly positive and that Linux hardware support takes massive steps forward with every release, but those few steps back are certainly regrettable and hopefully will no longer take place in the future.
I am now typing these lines from this fully functional HP 2740p with Ubuntu 9.10 on top. I hope this article did actually shed some light on the thought process behind troubleshooting around lack of hardware support in Linux. The most important thing to keep in mind, though, is that Linux users need to keep an eye and prevent "injuries" before they happen. If you are thinking of buying a new PC and want to install Linux on it, the best way to troubleshoot potential problems is to be sure they won't happen. In other words, do some research to confirm others are running Linux on it with no problems, or test before you buy, if possible.
Good Luck and thanks for reading!

Did you know that unlocking your phone is now illegal in the United States? According to the U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress, the exception they permitted for unlocking cell phones has now expired. What is unlocking? Why would you want to unlock a phone? Why is it illegal if you own the phone?
Let's start by explaining what it meas to unlock a phone. Cell phones come preprogrammed by the carrier to only work with that carrier's network. The reason for locking devices is most people purchase phones at a substantial discount in exchange for a contract which locks them into using that phone with a particular carrier. For example, Verizon advertises the iPhone 5 starting at $199.99 with a contract, but the unlocked version of the phone starts at $742 on Amazon.com. The contract alone, the phone companies argue, would not be to prevent people from taking the discount and then switching to another carrier. Almost all phones in the US come with software preventing them from working on a compatible competitor's network. Unlocking a phone allows the phone to be used on any network the phone's radio chips are compatible with.
There are many reasons you might want to unlock your phone. One reason cellular carriers cite is that you could purchase a phone for a steep discount, not pay the bill and use the phone instead on a competitor's prepaid network. Then the phone company would be stuck with the bill for a very expensive phone. You may also want to unlock a phone to use it after your contract has expired on a competitor's network. You might even want to unlock a phone to use it in an international location where your carrier either charges very high roaming rates or does not provide service.
Why is it illegal if you own the phone? Well that's the really interesting thing, because according to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, the law that makes this activity illegal, unlocking the phone itself is not illegal. Circumventing the encryption used to lock the phone is the illegal act. But since you can't unlock a phone without circumventing the encryption, it makes the entire activity illegal. The U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress issued an exemption for phone unlocking, but this exception was not renewed. As of January 26, 2013 it is illegal to unlock your phone.
In my personal opinion, this is a very questionable use of a law designed to prevent piracy and the exemption should be reinstated or the law rewritten to better reflect the "intent" of law which was to prevent movie and software online piracy. You can read the full statement by the U.S. Copyright Office by clicking here.
