That links isn't working for me. Seems to just be the # on the end.
What's disturbing to me is that these church-state arrangements aren't well known to the general public.
Australian states have had that same core problem since they were setup in the 1950s:
We're naively expecting our governments to enforce strict church-state separation. Even if we had america's stricter constitution, that's evidently no deterrent to intense 1st Amendment legal challenges.
Voters don't see special interest groups heavily pressuring our elected politicians, policy-makers, law-makers. Wealthy, well-established, highly-organized politico-religious lobbiests insist they're our moral leaders. And those religious leaders are overwhelmingly socially conservative. Impeding liberal progress is their (god-breathed) doctrine. Monotheism's mission will increasingly expand into the public schooling of children. Because contemporary academia is known to be the church's anti-christ. Systematically undermining christian teachings. Including the discovery that sectarianism produces inferior moral leaders.
History ensures monotheism's organisations (within democracies) have asymmetrical advantages over their political enemies. Eg, the Aussie Tax Office still accepts "advancing religion" to be (not self-serving to the business of evangelism but) a "public" good. Perhaps they're misled about what scripture teaches insiders to think about outsiders. Moreover, not only is organised piety a legal entitlement to numerous tax exemptions (helping themselves to the public purse, like scientology), it even excuses them from detailing for us their internal financials. Busy feeding the poor we're led to believe. That's business as usual for the "Purple" Economy. Helping clergymen to maintain their unfair advantage, so very disproportional to their thankfully decreasing number of christians --despite sneaky fictions to the contrary-- who's political views these far-right lobbiests (the pope, the ACL, etc) speak as if they still IN FACT represent.
by "sectarianism" I mean seminaries.

It's easy to make too much of a preseason game, even one that everyone acknowledges is the last real dress rehearsal before the regular season gets underway. The Eagles are still working out the kinks, and sometimes a poor practice can lead to a fabulous opening night.
At least, that's what everyone tells me. At the risk of being that insane moron who draws too many conclusions from a glorified scrimmage against the Patriots, let me highlight the main things that stuck out from the Eagles second preseason test:
The Good
- Mychal Kendricks is quickly on his way to becoming the best linebacker on the team. In striking contrast to Casey Matthews' first games in the spotlight a year ago, Kendricks doesn't give off any indication that the moment is too big for him. He's certainly not a Pro Bowler yet (although that didn't stop me from making such wild, fanciful leaps on Twitter), as evidenced by his subpar coverage in the red zone that gave up a touchdown. But Kendricks proved that he has the whole package. Seeing him diagnose a screen play, fight off a blocker, and make the tackle warms my heart.
- Philip Hunt continues to look like, at worst, the Eagles third-best defensive end. Hunt showed solid pass rush potential last year in limited snaps, but his added bulk makes him look like a formidable, versatile player.
- Continuing with the defense, I would be remiss not to point out what an upgrade Nate Allen is over Jaiquawn Jarrett. Lots more to prove for Allen going forward, but his run support against the Pats was especially noteworthy.
- What's that you say? You've only skimmed the last few paragraphs looking for the name Nick Foles? Now registering on Tim McManus's scale of 1-to-Tebow, the rookie has surpassed all expectations. I was particularly skeptical after the Eagles picked him in the third-round of the draft, but in two games Foles has looked better than any Eagles backup since Kevin Kolb's two starts in 2009. I'm no quarterback guru, but one of the things that stands out about Foles is his complete lack of fear (something that seems to be dooming Kolb in Arizona). Foles' pocket awareness, perhaps aided by his 6-foot-6-inch frame, is fantastic, which enables him to move around fluidly and deliver crisp passes into tight spots. If he can keep this up, there's no question he's a better option than Mike Kafka.
- The Eagles red zone offense was great. Part of that was Foles, but other players stepped up as well. Stanley Havili made his case for the fullback job, notching consecutive good plays -- a fullback trap to get to the goal line and a lead block to put LeSean McCoy in. Clay Harbor made a fantastic grab in the corner of the end zone. Even DeSean Jackson showed up, when the Eagles motioned McCoy out of the backfield and got Jackson one-on-one against a linebacker.
The Bad
- Unfortunately, all the good things I mentioned above happened against the Patriots backups -- no Tom Brady, no Rob Gronkowski, no Vince Wilfork. Bummer.
- On Michael Vick's injury, all I can do is quote DeSean's immortal words: "Aw man, not again."
- Ironically, new starter King Dunlap was the most impressive offensive lineman. Evan Mathis allowed the pressure on the play where Vick was injured. Todd Herremans had a similarly poor showing. And Danny Watkins looked totally incapable of blocking anyone. Let's not even mention Demetress Bell and his struggles against fourth-stringers.
- Penalties, a problem in their own right, led to this shouting match between Andy Reid and Cullen Jenkins. Way to show some fire and all that, but this isn't really a good sign.
The Ugly
- Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, with only second and third-stringers at his disposal, ran circles around Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, especially on third down. That's frightening.

So I have another rage comic for you all because I know that plenty of you love your internet memes. Today we will be learning "how to draw Genius", step by step. When I say "Genius" I know a majority of you know exactly what it is I'm talking about. This rage comic character is used when someone makes a stupid remark. It's pretty obvious that one doesn't think before one type. People who like Genius also like and know of other memes like You Don't Say, Watch Out, and We Got a Badass Over Here Genius was invented by a user from Comixed named Cheezburger on September 1, 2011 with the title "Idiot Savant Says…". Anyways, this is a pretty simple character face to replicate so I'm confident that you will be able to replicate Genius all on your own. I shall return people so stay tuned in. Peace out and enjoy!

Have you read the article featuring AAA members, Chip Colwell-Chanhaphonh (Denver Museum of Nature and Science), Linda Giles (Illinois Wesleyan U), Stephen Nash (Denver Museum of Nature and Science) and Monica Udvardy (U Kentucky), regarding the return of the totems to the National Museums of Kenya?
Here's an excerpt:
Now, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science says it has devised a way to return the 30 vigango it received as donations in 1990 from two Hollywood collectors, the actor Gene Hackman and the film producer Art Linson. The approach, museum officials say, balances the institution's need to safeguard its collection and meet its fiduciary duties to benefactors and the public with the growing imperative to give sanctified objects back to tribal people.
"The process is often complicated, expensive and never straightforward," said Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, the museum's curator of anthropology. "But just because a museum is not legally required to return cultural property does not mean it lacks an ethical obligation to do so."
The museum this month will deliver its 30 vigango (pronounced vee-GON-go; the singular form is kigango) to the National Museums of Kenya. Officials there will choose whether to display the objects, hunt through the nation's hinterlands for their true owners and original sites, or allow them to decay slowly and ceremoniously, as was intended by their consecrators. Whatever they opt to do, Kenyan officials say, sovereignty over the objects should be theirs and not in the hands of foreign museums. (The details of the transfer are still being negotiated.)
But repatriating them takes far more than addressing a parcel. No federal or international laws prevent Americans from owning the totems, while Kenyan law does not forbid their sale. And the Kenyan government says that finding which village or family consecrated a specific kigango is arduous, given that many were taken more than 30 years ago and that agricultural smallholders in Kenya are often nomadic.
Some 20 institutions in the United States own about 400 of the totems, according to Monica L. Udvardy, a professor of anthropology at the University of Kentucky and an expert on Kenyan culture who has studied and tracked vigango for 30 years. She said that Kenyans believe that vigango are invested with divine powers and should never have been removed from their sites and treated as global art commodities. Kenyan officials have made constant pleas to have the objects sent back.

PRINCETON, N.J. – UMBC senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) paced the preliminary field and broke the program record in the 800m run for the third time this outdoor season as the Retriever men's track and field team competed on the second day of the IC4A Championships, Saturday at William Weaver Track and Field Stadium.
Smith, who became the sixth athlete in program history to reach the NCAA Championships when he competed at the national indoor meet in March, led the runners not only in heat three of four, but the entire field in the 800m event. The senior crossed the line with a time of 1:48.72, close to a second ahead of the next-best finisher, Columbia's Brendon Fish (1:49.44), as well as his previous UMBC record (1:49.64). He now leads the field into Sunday's finals.
Classmate Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) also moved on, coming close to besting his own school record in the 1,500m event. The senior placed ninth in the race with a time of 3:48.59, just a touch behind his program-leading time of 3:48.59 set last year.
Two other Retrievers advanced to Sunday's final round as seniors Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) and Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) reached the finals of the 100m dash and 110m hurdles, respectively. Long led the pack in the prelims of the short sprint with a time of 10.58. In the semis he cut his time down to 10.41 and qualified for the finals in third place.
Long also ran in the 200m event on Saturday and placed ninth, just out of the qualifying spots, with a time of 21.43.
Proctor, meanwhile, started his day with a time of 14.10 in the prelims to move on, and then ran a 14.33 in the semis of the 110m hurdles to advance to Sunday. He holds the UMBC program record in the event with his time of 13.88 set at the Mason Spring Invitational in April.
The final day of competition at the 2014 IC4A Championships begins on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. with the shot put event.

Depp opens 'Rum Diary'
Johnny Depp is set to produce and star in an adaptation of Hunter S Thompson's 'The Rum Diary'
Written in 1959 but unpublished until 1998, the book follows the trials and tribulations of freelance journalist Paul Kemp as he tries to survive while working with a self-destructive group of hacks at a Puerto Rican newspaper.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star first tried to make a film based on the book way back in 2000, and after that fell through Benicio Del Toro and Josh Hartnett came close to shooting their own version in 2002. Neither project made it past pre-production however, though with Warner Independent Pictures and Graham King's GK Films now backing the film, it looks like it might finally get made.
Bruce Robinson, the man behind cult legend 'Withnail & I', will adapt and direct the screen version, with work expected to start when Depp finishes shooting 'Shantaram' for Mira Nair.

I decided to make a tutorial today on how to draw a Troll. As with the Orcs I think Trolls are just as fugly and gross. Trolls look like they smell worst though. Did you know that these beasts were once beautiful elves?! Yeah, its kinda surprising when I found this out. Trolls and orcs star in this cool online game called World of Warcraft. I love playing this game. Tons of fun. The creature I drew was an inspiration of the World of Warcraft game. The hair kinda reminds me of my grandma. Again I sketched out this drawing on a pad first then scanned it into my computer. As always I used Photoshop to make this tutorial. I kinda wanted to base this Troll on the movie Legend that was the first movie I saw that made me fall in love with these crazy creatures. Anyway have fun learning from this tutorial and give me some feed back.

Young Guns Club
All it took to get Christopher Smith of Easley, South Carolina, interested in high-performance Mopars was a film on drag racing shown in his high school's auto technology class, and all it took to turn young Smith from interested observer to full-blown Mopar fanatic was a primer-coated, drag-slicks-wearing Duster at a local garage that the mechanic/owner fired up at just the right time.
When he heard from a friend of his dad's about a Duster that was in a nearby field and for sale, he checked it out and bought it. It was a '76-one of the last A-Body Dusters built, complete with its original 318, and three-on-the-tree shifted transmission. It did have some surface rust from sitting outside for several years. After sanding off the rust and primering the body, rebuilding the carb, swapping in an A-833 four-speed, and making sure the brakes worked, he had it running-and had people telling him how cool it looked and sounded with the '70s-vintage glasspacks that were on it when he bought it.
Unfortunately, engine trouble forced him to park it. Shortly thereafter, a major stroke of luck happened. A new neighbor, who was a Mopar nut, had a '73 340 engine that he sold to Christopher to replace the 318.
Christopher has since added a .455 lift Comp Cam, MSD 6AL box, Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, Harland and Sharp roller rockers, Power Forge pistons, Hooker Super Comp headers, a double-roller timing chain, Centerforce clutch, and a Holley 675-cfm four-barrel carburetor. Plus, he rebuilt the A-833 and added a 3.91-geared Sure Grip out back.
Christopher's plans for his pride and joy-originally his high school car-include fiberglass weight-reduction parts, Edelbrock aluminum heads, wider tires, a spring relocation kit, and mini-tubs to fit Mopar 15×10 Rallyes for the rear, which will make it a sleeper.
Do You Feel Lucky?
Do you want to see your Mopar here? Do you want to be immortalized as a Mopar Muscle Young Gun? Is your car the nastiest thing on four wheels at your high school or college? Then send in your entry to email@example.com, or to Mopar Muscle Young Guns, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619.

Citrus greening, also called Huanglongbing or yellow dragon disease, is one of the more serious diseases of citrus. This bacterial disease is thought to have originated in China in the early 1900s. The disease is primarily spread by two species of psyllid insects. One species, the Asian citrus pysllid, Diaphorina citri, has been present in Florida since 1998. The bacteria itself is not harmful to humans but the disease has harmed trees in Asia, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Brazil. There are three strains of the bacteria, an Asian, an African version, and a recently described American strain discovered in Brazil.
The Asian strain, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus was found in Florida in early September, 2005. To respond to the problem, USDA, APHIS, PPQ and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services deployed a Unified Command under the Incident Command Structure, and delimiting survey crews are working in southern Florida to define the extent of the problem.

Terrain analysis – Circle of Blood arena
[edit – correction and a touch of additional, all placed at the end.]
Slow day – not really, but lots of time to think about things NOT related to the subjects of the meetings, none of which have impact on my area of operations. So, we get a second thing.
Let me begin with a public service announcement. If you do a personal recon of these arena sites, please exercise a bit of caution. Entering the grounds flags you with the Arena Combat flag. A bit different from a normal flag, but potentially a LOT of fun. It allows you to fight others – not just those on the other faction, but ANYONE. Take appropriate precautions.
Once more I'm going to direct you to the WoW-Europe site for basic reference and go from there.
Now – Circle of Blood. It's a wee bit difficult to get to unless/until you've done the quest series to become King/Queen of the Ogres. (Which you need to do so as to get OgriLa dailies.) Advertising in action, the circle is a square.
Basically, you've got a 100 yard by 100 yard square. Dividing the area between the starting points is a bridge which has two support pillars and two anchor pillars flanking the bridge at its midpoint. There's a solid stone ramp leading up to the ramp on each side. The square itself has its corners chopped, and there are a couple of half-pillars on various walls.
I'm going to digress just a moment to say this is the "LoS Killer" arena. There are just a lot of places to duck to get out of sight if it takes more than a couple of seconds to do whatever you're doing. Now let's get back to the review, this time with some measurements.
Entry for each side is left of center (from side's point of view) by about a 25-35 yard offset (depending on which side of the door you're measuring). "Your" ramp is therefore about 15 yards left and 35 yards forward – just remember it's a ramp on both sides up to the flat entrance to the bridge.
In the center of the arena is a 30 yard circle with four roughly square pillars around it – N, S, E and W. Two are directly under the bridge as supports. The other two are connected to the bridge with a rope. Each pillar is approximately 10×10 yards in size. The nearest edge of each side pillar is roughly 7-8 yards from the edge of the bridge — if you can jump that far you can jump to the stone, if you can't… Actually, there's a catch to that. The top of each pillar is roughly even with the platform at each side of the bridge. At approximately the 1/3 and 2/3 point is a pair of torches. Less visible is the fact the bridge slopes down. Not severely – it won't break line of sight to the platforms. But it does put the middle of the bridge about 2 yards below the flank pillar tops. Oh – the pillars and platform are approximately 15 yards off the ground. The bridge is approximately 15 yards wide.
Finally, with absolutely no terrain use but perhaps useable as range markers, there are two "grills" in the ground. They're about 5 x 10 yards, and they're centered in the quadrants that do NOT have a team entrance – the long side is parallel to the entrance side.
The ground itself is functionally flat, though there is a slight 'lip' around the center circle which is itself slightly lower than the surrounding ground. Guesstimate is one yard up and two yards down – sloped, so there is no hindrance to movement.
Finally, there are pillars at each corner and in the center of each platform. Each has a width/diameter of approximately ten yards.
That's measurements. Some of the things need special mention for analysis. For example: you can get to – and stand on – the side pillars. If you do so you're still in LoS for ranged/Casters. BUT – for melee you're essentially at the end of a very narrow tunnel. They MUST come to the center of the bridge, the edge near you. Most will have to walk the rope to get to you.
for example – an OBVIOUS but unremarked issue is that it's faster – by FAR – to go down than up. The essential core of kiting is for you to be defacto faster than they are, and here's an example of opportunity.
for example – the width of the bridge makes it possible to break LoS from someone on the ground who is otherwise in range. I point out the obvious "how" – sit, then stand, while at the 'far' edge from the ranged/caster. Or lie down, though that's a slight bit slower.
The key to mastering this terrain is knowing how to use it to determine when and where actual combat occurs. I expect to spend a LOT of time in study here.
==begin edit==
OK, if you're here you may or may not know my error above. Basically, I got informed by someone who does it regularly that you don't need to walk the rope to get to the side pillars – it's in jumping range. Not easily, and I now know I need more practice on my jumping skills, but it's doable.
Also note that if you're considering using that platform as a "come get me" ambush site you REALLY want to beware things that'll cause you to run off it. Fear, mind control, … be aware they're there. Other side of the coin – remember they're available if the OTHER side is the one to pull the pillar game.

2004 Acura MDX Reviews and Ratings
Utility 4D Touring 4WD
Expert Reviews
The Acura MDX offers an outstanding V6 powertrain, seven-passenger seating and a standard four-wheel-drive system that prevents skids almost before they happen. Neat styling, attention to detail, excellent crash protection and competitive pricing increase the appeal of this luxury SUV.
Introduced in 2001, MDX was named North American Truck of the Year by a panel of 50 independent automotive journalists. Through the four model years since, the MDX has been steadily improved in all areas.
The body has grown more rigid, allowing better vibration control and a smoother ride. Power has increased, and a more compact five-speed automatic transmission shifts even more smoothly than before. MDX's standard VTM-4 four-wheel drive system has been remapped to work seamlessly with a new Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to improve handling on slippery surfaces and to enhance stability in all conditions. Acura has updated the optional navigation system and added a rearview camera that engages when the transmission is in reverse. A DVD entertainment system with wireless infrared headphones is now available.
For 2004, MDX gets another round of updates. This is what the auto industry calls a mid-cycle revision, and the improvements are as extensive as any undertaken so far. Horsepower and torque increase, thanks to a new dual-exhaust system. The 2004 MDX sports new front- and rear-end styling, redesigned alloy wheels, a new Side Curtain Airbag system that helps to protect occupants in all three rows, and interior upgrades that include enhanced interior lighting with ambient footlights and entry illumination.
In short, the attributes that earned MDX awards remain and have been refined. This so-called luxury SUV remains one of the best values in the class.
The MDX is an Acura, so it follows the brand's all-inclusive price strategy, with limited options. It's offered in a single trim level, powered by a 3.5-liter, 265-hp V6 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.
MDX ($36,400) comes standard with a long list of luxury and convenience features, including many that are extra-cost options on its competitors: leather seating surfaces and leather door inserts; keyless remote entry; power windows, door locks and mirrors; power tilt-and-slide moonroof; cruise control; seven-speaker AM/FM/cassette stereo with in-dash CD player; power adjustable front seats; alloy wheels and a multi-function digital trip computer. For 2004, there's also a standard tire pressure monitoring system that uses sensors in the valve stem of each wheel to alert the driver when tire pressure drops significantly below the recommended level.
Even with a host of improvements, 2004 MDX prices reflect a modest price increase of $700, or less than 2 percent compared to 2003. Prices for the three options offered have not changed.
The Touring package ($2600) adds a killer 200-watt, eight-speaker Acura/Bose music system with in-dash six-disc CD changer; a keyless remote linked to the two-position driver's seat and mirror memory system; eight-way adjustable passenger seat; roof rack; an outside mirror that tilts to track progress while backing up; rain-sensing windshield wipers and special alloy wheels.
Acura's DVD Entertainment System ($1500) for rear-seat passengers adds a seven-inch widescreen display that flips down from the ceiling at the push of a button. The system comes complete with two infrared (IR) wireless headphones and a wireless remote control. Kids dig it.
The DVD-based Navigation System ($2200) needs only one disc to cover the entire continental U.S. Recent enhancements include voice recognition and upgraded graphics. The system includes a rearview camera that transmits pictures from behind the vehicle onto the navigation screen when the MDX is in reverse gear, but it can only be ordered with the Touring package.
The Acura MDX won't draw a gasp for unique design or beauty of line. It looks sturdy and stable with a wider, firmer stance than some competitors. The styling updates for 2004 don't do much to alter the basic look.
The signature Acura grille, now with a satin chrome finish, forms the centerpiece for a new, more tapered front end. The MDX's headlights are more angular than before; new projection-type beams enhance both illumination and appearance. There's a chin spoiler integrated into the front bumper to move air smoothly to the sides of the car and improve aerodynamics. The rear end has been updated with new, larger taillights and dual exhaust tips.
Yet even with these updates, the MDX still looks like an MDX. Limited overhang at either end contributes to a dense, compact demeanor that belies this SUV's heft and somewhat exaggerates the size of the MDX's mid-section. Some believe the large greenhouse adds to the straightforward sense and strong presence. Others claim it makes the MDX seem more like a minivan than a big SUV.
What isn't obvious except in a body-off view is the duality of construction under the MDX. It is both unibody and body on frame. This Centaur-like approach gives uncommon rigidity and strength gained from longitudinal rails with eight box-section cross members. This is the thinking engineers' path to making a car/truck both a car AND a truck, whichever is appropriate to the occasion. The effect is noise, vibration and harshness control on par with a car, and the load-and stress-management characteristics of a truck. Within the MDX frame, there's even a vent tube that whisks moisture away from the differential when the vehicle is sitting in 18 inches of water.
Acura MDX offers space and cargo flexibility superior to the class. The finish inside is excellent, with new titanium-look trim for 2004. The materials are generally high grade, and the fit and matching of various panels is first-rate.
Airy, perforated leather adorns the seats, side panels, steering wheel and shift knob. There is nothing swoopy or eye-popping about the instrument panel, just easily read instruments with an unobstructed view. Simple, large knobs are easy to operate whether that hand is wearing mittens or has long fingernails. The overall sense is the serenity of simplicity.
The air bag fits flat into the passenger-side dash. Sun visors have extensions for those sharp shafts of sun angling low at dawn and dusk. Then there's the added touch of elegance that makes you say to yourself, "If they thought of this they must have thought of everything." For example, the roof-mounted grab handles don't go CLUNK against the ceiling when released; they whisper their dampened way back into place.
Automatic headlights and an auto-up feature for the driver's window are standard. The back-up video camera with the navigation system is at least as useful as the more common, beep-beep-beep systems that warn of hard-to-see obstacles with electronic sound or readout. Bottom line, this reverse-view camera is a good thing, but it takes some getting used to: first, to get comfortable with the extreme fish-eye view, and second, to trust it. The wide panoramic images on the display screen tend to distort depth. When you learn to judge the distances it's a fine tool, but there is still no substitute for a wary, attentive driver.
Third-row seats in the MDX are easier to get into than those in, say, the Volvo Cross Country wagon. A convenient walk-in feature slides the MDX's entire second seat forward with the touch of a lever, located on the curb side. This slider has been improved for 2004 by extending forward travel 40 percent, making entry to the third row even simpler. When not in use, both the second and third rows fold to disappear completely into the floor, leaving a flat surface with no protrusions to scratch luggage or inhibit cargo loading. The seats split for a varied mix of people and stuff.
With the second and third seats stowed, there's room for a ton of stuff. With 81.5 cubic feet of cargo space, the MDX dwarves five-passenger competitors such as the BMW X5 (54.4 cubic feet) and Infiniti FX (64.5). It beats all but the Volvo XC90 (84.9 cubic feet) among seven-passenger competitors. And thanks to its space-efficient design, the MDX offers more cargo room when all three rows of seats are in place ( 14.8 cubic feet for MDX vs. 11.1 for XC90). MDX also delivers 4,500 pounds of boat-towing capacity.
The split air-conditioning system is one of the more impressive features. Not only can those in back have a different temperature than the front-seat riders, but one zone can get heat while another gets air conditioning. Every seat in the house has a shoulder harness as well as a lap belt. (Many SUVs do not come with a shoulder belt in the rear center position.) Anchors for child seats are everywhere. Lots of cup holders, too.
We like the navigation system for its intuitive simplicity. Indeed, this may be the best GPS-guided system going. The database has been expanded further, so if you want to pick up some cash, make a stop at the nearest Chinese take-out and then locate an emergency room for your over-indulgence, it is all at your beck. A novel capability, and one uniquely appropriate for a vehicle equipped to seek out uncharted outbacks, is a feature that leaves electronic bread crumbs on screen. No road visible under the little wedge-shaped marker that represents your vehicle? Not to worry. Acura's navigation system leaves a line that you can easily retrace back to where there be no more dragons.
Finally, the 2004 MDX has been equipped with a side-curtain airbag system that protects occupants in all three rows of seats during a side-impact collision. These airbags deploys from a module in the roof in the event of a sufficient side impact, providing head protection in the window area. This system also includes a series of rollover sensors designed to trigger the airbags in the event of a rollover. Should the MDX begin to tip, the rollover sensors monitor the rate of roll and deploy the curtain airbags accordingly.
Acura MDX offers a superb balance of car and truck attributes. Its highway manners are excellent. It corners well for a vehicle of its heft, though without the keen turn-in of the BMW X5. MDX feels extremely stable and as untippable as a rhino.
Its 3.5-liter, 24-valve VTEC V6 engine generates impressive power, and its five-speed automatic features gear ratios for towing and trail grinding. For 2004, the V6 engine benefits from a new dual-exhaust system that boosts horsepower from 260 to 265 and torque from 250 to 253 pounds-feet at a very usable 3500 rpm. Yet the MDX delivers better combined fuel economy than most of its luxury SUV competitors with EPA-estimated City/Highway ratings of 17/23 mpg.
In the real world, the MDX can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds. Its mesa-shaped torque curve means responsive acceleration around town and for merging and passing at any speed. On the freeway, the MDX cruises at 72 mph with the engine turning a very quiet, fuel-efficient 2200 rpm. Acura says that MDX can tow a 4,500-boat, or a 3,500-pound trailer with a tongue weight of 450 pounds. That kind of towing capability is normally considered a truck trait.
Off road, MDX makes up for the absence of a transfer case and a granny gear with a regular low gear that is extra low. Venturing onto badly rutted forest service roads or trails leading to fishing sites and trailheads will not overtax it.
This SUV comes with a unique four-wheel-drive system. Most of the time, the MDX runs in front-wheel-drive mode for good fuel economy. Some all-wheel-drive systems normally cruise in front-wheel drive, engaging the rear wheels when sensors detect front wheel spin. Not so the MDX. Slippage, the Acura engineers reason, can only occur under acceleration. And so the MDX engages the rear wheels as well as the front wheels whenever the driver calls for acceleration, without waiting for slippage to occur. Acura provides an Unstuck button on the dash (yes, that's what they call it) that locks the differential progressively to get out of tough situations.
The MDX feels secure and much of that comes from a relatively firm suspension, firmer than that on the Lexus RX330, for example. In tradeoff, the MDX feels a bit bouncier than the RX330 on rough roads. On pavement the MDX likes to understeer, by design. That means that if you're too fast into a corner, the front wheels begin to lose grip at lower speeds than they do in the Infiniti FX35 or in the BMW X5. This encourages you to intuitively lift off the throttle and slow down. The steering is heavier than that in the Lexus. You can feel the wheel slightly tug on your hands when you accelerate hard, a phenomenon called torque steer, but it doesn't influence your heading.
The brakes are absolute standouts, responsive and secure, and everything is managed by Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist system. VSA works in concert with the all-wheel-drive and electronic throttle to enhance control during acceleration, braking and cornering, orchestrating traction control, anti-lock braking and stability management. On slick roads, VSA control will clamp the brakes on hard if you enter a corner too quickly, and pull the MDX tighter into the corner.
Though safety and clean emissions do not figure in how a car drives, they do figure in how you feel about driving it. Two safety points: Acura expects a five-star federal crash rating (the best) on the 2004 MDX, and the company claims its SUV can be hit from behind by a vehicle going 35 mph without the third row of seats being breached. High fuel economy ratings are a testimony to the efficiency of the MDX, and all models sold nationwide meet the government's strict ULEV-2 emissions standards (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle).
Acura MDX combines most of the virtues of the SUV genre and diminishes or eliminates most of its vices. It's more versatile than five-passenger luxury SUVs such as the Lexus RX330, BMW X5 or Mercedes ML, and it retails for thousands less than seven-passenger competitors such as the Volvo XC90 and Cadillac SRX. Anyone seeking comfort, performance, spaciousness, flexibility, proven safety features, environmental awareness and driving pleasure in a value-loaded package must have a look at the MDX.

(Reuters) - Shares of U.S. hospital operators fell after Republican nominee Mitt Romney's strong showing in Wednesday's U.S. presidential debate raised doubts about the future of President Obama's healthcare reform.
Hospital operators Tenet Healthcare Corp, HCA Holdings Inc, Healthsouth Corp and HCP Inc were all down between 1 percent and 3 percent Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, as it is popularly known, has set forth a mandate that will force millions of Americans to buy health insurance by 2014. This will free hospitals from bearing the costs of treating uninsured patients.
Romney's perceived win in the debate accounted for the negative outlook on hospital stocks on Thursday, Wells Fargo Securities analyst Gary Lieberman said.
"Hospitals had been rallying on the likelihood of Obama's healthcare reform getting implemented as it looked like he had pulled ahead in polls," Lieberman said.
But Romney's Wednesday performance showed the race was tightening, increasing the risk to hospital stocks, RBC Capital Markets analyst Frank Morgan said.

The BOMA Project helps vulnerable women in Kenya's arid lands adapt to climate change by starting small businesses in their villages, which enables them to develop a diversified livelihood. Its Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP) targets the poorest and most vulnerable women in each community, most of whom live on less than $1.25 per day. REAP builds resilience to climate change because it enables women to own productive assets, which generate income and are not tied to the drought-threatened livestock industry.
Fast facts:
- 32,000 women and children have been lifted out of extreme poverty;
- Monthly spending per household has increased: 71 per cent for food; 921 per cent for school fees; 97 per cent for medical care; and 189 per cent for household improvements such as nylon tarps and mosquito nets;
- 99 per cent of REAP businesses are still in operation after one year, generating income and savings for vulnerable women.
The problem
REAP targets ultra‐poor women in rural villages across Northern Kenya, a region where climate change has devastated the traditional livestock industry. Women and children are most vulnerable: as the men travel in search of grazing terrain, their families are left in the villages, typically without food or income. BOMA benefits the enterprising poor – marginalized, often‐illiterate women who are willing to work hard to change their lives – by giving them the skills and resources they need to start a business.
Diversified income allows them to pay for food, education, household assets and medical care, while savings allow them to respond to shocks. This two‐pronged approach addresses the root cause of extreme poverty in Northern Kenya – drought – while paving the way for a generation of change.
The solution
REAP is a two‐year poverty graduation program that provides a cash grant, sustained training in business skills and savings, and hands‐on coaching by BOMA Village Mentors to business groups of three women. When the businesses are established and generating profits, at six months, Mentors work with REAP groups to form BOMA savings associations. As a result of being lifted out of poverty, the women become more resilient to climate change.
Since January 2009, BOMA has established 1,380 REAP businesses and 176 savings associations in 20 settled villages and 250 nomadic settlements across Northern Kenya. BOMA has lifted 32,000 women and children out of extreme poverty; its goal is to reach 100,000 within five years.
For women, by women
When a woman joins REAP, her status in the village rises. Once selling firewood, hauling water and begging for credit, the women are now business owners and quasi‐bankers, as REAP businesses are often the only local source of affordable goods, cash and credit. The women now hold capital, both financial and social. They have gone from being beggars to lenders. They are leaders in their homes, where they no longer rely on their husbands for support, and also are pursuing education: at three years, 41 per cent are enrolled in an adult literacy program. REAP also promotes gender equality and builds the capacity of women to contribute to an emerging cash‐based economy.
Smart climate finance
In April 2013, BOMA signed a $1.9 million, three‐year agreement with the UK Department of International Development to launch 1,338 micro‐enterprises across the greater Marsabit District of Northern Kenya, providing a diversified livelihood for 4,014 pastoral women who support more than 20,070 children. REAP is also expanding in the Samburu District, with 40 businesses in 2012, 81 in 2013 and an equivalent number planned for 2014.

Anatomische Hierarchie
Allgemeine Anatomie > Regionen des menschlichen Körpers > Bauchregionen > Nabelgegend
For convenience of description of the viscera, as well as of reference to the morbid conditions of the contained parts, the abdomen is artificially divided into nine regions by imaginary planes, two horizontal and two sagittal, passing through the cavity, the edges of the planes being indicated by lines drawn on the surface of the body.
Of the horizontal planes the upper or transpyloric is indicated by a line encircling the body at the level of a point midway between the jugular notch and the symphysis pubis, the lower by a line carried around the trunk at the level of a point midway between the transpyloric and the symphysis pubis.
The latter is practically the intertubercular plane of Cunningham, who pointed out that its level corresponds with the prominent and easily defined tubercle on the iliac crest about 5 cm. behind the anterior superior iliac spine.
By means of these imaginary planes the abdomen is divided into three zones, which are named from above downward the subcostal, umbilical, and hypogastric zones. Each of these is further subdivided into three regions by the two sagittal planes, which are indicated on the surface by lines drawn vertically through points half-way between the anterior superior iliac spines and the symphysis pubis.
The middle region of the upper zone is called the epigastric; and the two lateral regions, the right and left hypochondriac. The central region of the middle zone is the umbilical; and the two lateral regions, the right and left lumbar. The middle region of the lower zone is the hypogastric or pubic region; and the lateral regions are the rightand left iliac or inguinal

World's smallest cellphone jammer looks like a pack of cigs
Sometimes you just want to drown out the noise around you — starting with cellphones. While cellphones are great communication devices, people who go overboard, spilling their life stories out loud in public tend to become annoying. Silence them with the world's smallest cellphone jammer.
Disguised as a pack of cigarettes, the so-called "world's smallest cellphone jammer" disables a cluster of frequencies, mainly GSM and 3G signals within a 32-feet radiius — turning crystal clear babbling into ear-splitting static. This could come in handy when trying to block out mommy from shouting at daddy for the umpteenth time. Price for quiet? $46.
In the U.S. cellphone jammers are illegal, with anyone caught with one punishable with a fine of $11,000 and up to a year in jail time. I don't know what the laws are in your neck of the woods, so consider yourself warned before hitting that "Add to Cart" button

Hello lovies, so in one of my lasts post I had a mini haul, you can check it out in the links below. In that haul, I bought the Loreal Paris 440 Black Quarts Double Extend Eye Illuminator. At first, I will admit I was a bit disappointed with the mascara, I didn't think it did anything for my lashes or made them very shimmery. But then I read the packaging, and of course I was using it wrong! Derp! The packaging says you apply the black mascara end first, then when it dries add the sparkly end to your lashes on top of the black coat. Before I just used the sparkly end lol. So I grabbed my makeup remover and washed away the mascara and tried again! Finally, TA DA somewhat sparkly lashes.
It isn't a crazy amount of shimmer, but that's is kind of a good thing if I want to go out with a little extra something special and not looking like Lady Ga Ga on concert day. The mascara comes in a bunch of different shades, ones for blue, green, brown eyes, ect. I bought the brown eyes formula, even though I have green eyes, because I thought the color on this one was just so pretty!
After I applied the mascara I complemented it with a little bit of gold shimmer from the shimmer palette in the last June 2013 Ipsy bag. I also put on some brown eye liner on top and below my lids. I also put on some kiwi lipgloss from Bath and Body Works, they literally have the best lip gloss ever, and of course foundation, concealer, and face powder. I hope you guys enjoyed this look, please comment, like, and follow me for some more lovin'. Thank for reading and love always Pearlsnheels ❤

6 killed in mystery airstrikes in Libyan capital
CAIRO (AP) — Airstrikes launched by an unknown party targeting Islamist-led militias in Libya's capital killed six people Monday, authorities said, as the interim government vowed to investigate the strikes amid raging street battles.
The confusion over who launched the two fighter jets shows the chaos still engulfing Libya after the 2011 civil war that toppled down longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
In a statement, the government demanded the chief of staff and military intelligence to investigate the predawn strikes Monday morning targeting positions of militias originally from the coastal city of Misrata and its Islamist allies.
The strikes, under the cover of darkness, sparked fears that a foreign country like Italy carried out the attack, as the Libyan military does not have aircraft that can fly at night, according to a former colonel in the Libyan air force. Libya's newly elected parliament recently asked the United Nations to protect its civilians and stop the fighting. Italy's ambassador to Libya even went on local television to say his country was not involved.
Ahmed Hadiya, the spokesman for Libya Shield, an umbrella group for militias, suggested that the warplanes took off from the Wittiya air base west of Tripoli and targeted a base taken over by his militias recently. He did not provide more details.
A militiaman from the coastal city of Misrata said the jets belong to forces allied to renegade Gen. Khalifa Hifter. The militiaman spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to journalists.
Ali al-Shekhli, an army spokesman, later told television station al-Naba that the jet fighters were "foreign" and urged the government to take action against what he described as a "blatant foreign intervention."
A statement by the Libyan Army chief of staff's media office said that jets used "guided bombs" not in the possession of the Libyan army. It also said the fighters couldn't have flown out of Wittiya because it is closed and Libyan jets can't fly for long distances at night due to needing to refuel.
Tarek Mitri, the outgoing U.N. envoy to Libya, denied that it was involved the strikes. He said both France and Italy denied being involved in the strikes either.
The violence in Libya is rooted to the empowerment of militias after successive transitional governments depended on them to maintain order in the absence of a strong police force or a unified military. It also came as part of a backlash by Islamist factions after losing their power in parliament following June elections and in the face of a campaign by Hifter against extremist Islamic militias in Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city.
In Tripoli, fighting since June concentrated around its international airport, controlled since 2011 by militias affiliated to the mountain town of Zintan. Its opponents, a mixture of Mistara militias and Islamists, launched a surprise attack on the airport aiming to drive them out.
The fighting has destroyed the airport and seen rockets fall on residential areas, sparking fears of wider chaos and prompting diplomats, foreign nationals and Libyans to flee. For six hours, Egypt on Monday cancelled all flights to Libya, saying Libyan authorities had closed the country's airspace.

Ratings for Dr. Martin Polanco
Dr. Martin Polanco and the wonderful caring staff at Crossroads deserve an award for excellence in integrity, professionalism, and compassion. As a team, the care they provide makes patients feel safe and fully supported, and to have their concerns and conditions heard with discretion and and understanding. They provide top quality care in a clean, peaceful, and immaculate environment. The treatment is a profound opportunity to be guided through insurmountable obstacles to experience a new chapter of one's life, overcome tremendous psychological and spiritual burdens, and to gain a deeper perspective. The Crossroads team is as trustworthy, skilled, and competent as it gets.
Dr.Polanco saved my life I was on the brink of losing my career, family and everything else his treatment completely cured my Drug addiction and turned my life around I will be forever grateful to his staff for what they did for me thank you.
Dr. Martin Polanco and his staff successfully detoxed me from opiates in a caring, professional and comfortable environment using Ibogaine. I had previously endured conventional detox, inpatient treatment and many other methods of treatment that were mostly ineffective. This actually worked and my withdrawals were gone almost instantly after they gave me Ibogaine. It was intense and I had constant supervision. I've been clean for several months now with the added help of the aftercare therapy his clinic offers. I have since sent a few a my friends to him who are also doing surprisingly well post treatment. I would recommend this program to anyone wishing to be free of chemical dependency.
Words can't describe how truly wonderful Dr. Martin Polanco and his staff are and what they have done for me. My life was at a dead end I was addicted to opiates and cigarettes and used adderall just to stay awake because I would take so much oxycodone. Over just one night believe it or not that all ended! After taking ibogaine at Dr. Polancos clinic I was free from these chains. After the treatment I felt like they were family, I mean , that's how good they took care of me. If anyone is in the same shoes I WAS in then ibogaine treatment with Dr. Polanco is the only way to go. That man saved my life. I'm so greatful
"Thank You" is simply inadequate to express my deep and profound gratitude to Dr. Polanco and to his dedicated staff for quite literally saving my son Evan's life. Evan became addicted to opiates as a result of work-related injuries and readily available prescriptions for non-union workers to keep them on the job. No longer able to do that type of work, but not able to deal with the pain, Evan was referred to a methadone clinic and he was hooked! Evan tried every homeopathic, therapeutic, outpatient detox program he could to no avail. Finally, a friend told him about Ibogaine. I admit to being scared and skeptical, but also desperate to find a way to help my son, no matter the cost. The staff of Crossroads answered every question we had beforehand and Deanne the counselor notified me immediately how Evan was doing. Dr. Polanco himself brought Evan back to San Diego. This compassionate man has dedicated his life to saving those without hope. "Thank you" will never be enough gratitude.
Dr. Polanco is, in a word, wonderful. Not to mention his staff. They are all utterly compashionate, caring, and friendly people. I was accomodated in every possible way, and even offered several times the concession of getting anything special that I wanted/required. What's more, these people all became my friends nearly instantaneously; well as soon as I was physically capable of socializing after the treatment anyhow. I've never fealt more cared for in any addiction rehabilitation setting in which I've been previously-and I've been to many-as I fealt with Dr. Polanco and his staff. The Crossroads facility is gorgeous; if ever there were a paradigm for how a treatment facilty should be aesthetically this should be the standard. One about to embark on the grave journey of conquering their addiction would wish to do so in the most serene, tranquil, and beautiful setting. Hence, Crossroads.
Dr. Polanco successfully treated my 19 year old daughter for drug addiction. Dr. Polanco is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor who puts the patients needs above all. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of help. Thank You Doctor!
Dr. Polanco is by far the most caring, knowlegable,and personable physician I have ever delt with. I would give the highest recommendation possible to this extremely bright and caring Doctor.
Dr. Polanco's insight, support, wisdom, guidance, and professionalism are a breath of fresh air in an industry where listening to the patient has become a thing of the past. I got his full attention and felt supported and safe for the entire time I was in his care. I am back on my feet now after years of being lost in my illness, and I am eternally grateful to the help and guidance I received. Five Stars all the way!
Fabulous. Makes patients feel like people not numbers. Answers questions in a manner understandable to laypeople.

In his thoughtprovoking book Times of Triumph, Times of Doubt, [Carlson] asks why many of his young students who have turned away from careers in science feel that science has let them down through its bad outcomes. In making his analysis he includes in the scientific community not only researchers but also those responsible for the commercialization and regulation of science, such as business executives, ethicists, theologians, legislators, lawyers and journalists.
Ian Wilmut, Nature
This is a wellwritten book, with the beginnings of a good argument in favor of patrolling science for abuse. At a time in history when genetic determinism is so seductive and widely accepted, even when we don't yet understand the relative genetic and environmental contributions to complex traits, when scientists and nonscientists alike seem to have forgotten the horrific application of eugenics in the last centurywithin living memorythis book is a welcome reminder that good science can have bad consequences.
Anne V. Buchanan, BioEssays
The book gives a very good overview of the major issues facing scientists now and in the past. The explorations of the moral foundations of the book are so careful and simply written that it will compel the reader to reflect on her own values and beliefs. Times of Triumph, Times of Doubt will be beneficial not only for those working in medical research and ethics, but also for the general public who will find it very interesting and informative.
Metapsychology Online Reviews
This book deserves to form part of all courses involving science and ethics, whether for laboratory scientists and clinicians, or for social scientists. Based on a lecture course for nonscience students it is extremely clearly written, thoughtful and full of commonsense, while it adds the historical dimension that is often missing. For those in genetics it is particularly important; it will open readers eyes to some disturbing aspects of our sciences past and may even help in avoiding more bad outcomes in the future.
Human Genetics
Scientific insight and discovery have radically improved our lives, and science will continue to improve the human prospect: that is the core of Carlson's book. Dismayed by the public distrust of science and scientists in the early 21st century, the author argues that the vast majority of scientists have had motives that were at worst benign and often noble; they wanted to improve human life or were driven by intellectual curiosity. Science has been put to bad uses, he quickly concedes, but the transformation for the better it has made in the lives of most human beings is easily worth the price...
Carlson could not be boring if he tried, and he is at least as hard on the scientists who go wrong as he is on politicians or theologians. The story he tells should be widely read and discussed. This volume is provocative from the first to the last page. If I were grading this book, I would give it an unconventional, but richly deserved, A+.
