Russia converted the Trans-Siberian from fuel to electric with wires along the track. The Trans-Siberian Railway covers 9,288 kilometers between Moscow and the Pacific port of Vladivostok, or 5,771 miles. If it were twenty-one miles longer, it would be exactly twice as long as Interstate 80 from New Jersey to California. The trains run almost constantly, mostly fuel.
For the U.S. to ship food for food aid, 50 percent of the food must be shipped on U.S. vessels by law.
They had a microphone on the plate umpire the sixth game of the series. When Ortiz came to bat the fine St. Louis catcher,Yadier Molina, turned to the umpire and said, "This guy is amazing. He cn hit everything." The umpire said, "Yeah, he's fun to watch."
post·hu·mous: adj. Occurring or continuing after one's death: a posthumous award; Published after the writer's death: a posthumous book; Born after the death of the father: a posthumous child.
ety: The word posthumous is associated with death, both in meaning and in form. It goes back to the Latin word postumus, meaning "last born, born after the death of one's father, born after the making of a will," and "last, final." Postumus was largely used with respect to events occurring after death but not exclusively so, since the word was simply one of the superlative forms of the adverb post, "subsequently, afterward." Because of its use in connection with death, however, later Latin writers decided that the last part of the word must have to do with humus, "earth," or "to bury," and began spelling the word posthumus. This form of the Latin word was borrowed into English, being first recorded in a work composed before 1464. Perhaps the most telling use of the word appears in the poet Robert Southey's comment on the rewards of an author: "It was well we should be contented with posthumous fame, but impossible to be so with posthumous bread and cheese." (Amer. Her. Dic.)
Achilles tendinopathy and tendon rupture is considered an overuse syndrome from excessive loading of the tendon during vigorous training activity. Exposure to corticosteroids, both systemic and with local application, has been reported to be a common antecedent of Achilles tendon rupture and is thought to increase risk of rupture through tendon atrophy and weakening.
The HHS is getting a lot of press with all the ACA difficulties. But we forget what kind of people and organizations we are dealing with. In 2009 the HHS nominee resigned because of tax problems. But there was more. In just two years, he made 5.2 million dollars, $1 million per year from a law firm. But he's not a lawyer. Nor is he a registered lobbyist. Why was a law firm paying him money? Influence peddling? No one remembers Tom Daschle any more. But his resignation certainly cleaned the HHS up.
In 1975, there was a single craft brewery in the United States; today there are more than 2,000.
Jean Baudrillard, claims in a published book "that the Twin Towers destroyed themselves under their own weight, so to speak, undermined by the utter nihilism inherent in capitalism itself—as if the terrorist planes were pulled to suicide by the powerful attraction of this black hole of nothingness." (Bruno Latour) He is a French philosopher. Thierry Meyssan, in 911: The Big Lie, writes that no plane crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. He's French too.
The Wilmot Proviso was proposed by Congressman David Wilmot, first term Democrat from Pennsylvania, as a rider to the appropriations bill proposed by Polk to facilitate negotiations with Mexico to annex Texas to the U.S.. It provided that no new territories could be slave. It always passed the House and failed the Senate.
Sir Walter Raleigh has always been a bright but diffuse point in English history. Explorer, soldier, courtier, writer he fell in and out of favor with Queen Elizabeth and then James I. He eventually was tried by James for his connection to a Spanish plot to invade England. His trial was a spectacle and he was convicted but pardoned. Recent evidence points to him being guilty as hell. Documents which had previously been imperfectly catalogued at the Bodleian Library were discovered during random checking of papers held there. These included Raleigh's own deposition and his main accuser's--his close friend Henry Brooke-- statement to the tribunal, and provide strong evidence that Raleigh denounced King James and spoke in favor of a Spanish invasion. He went so far as to advise on the best invasion location (he recommended Milford Haven). He also requested a Spanish pension of £1,500 a year in return for his spying. He was eventually executed in a great irony. Some men under his command sacked a Spanish fort and the English killed him to make the Spanish happy.
Deaths related to alcohol in several studies in England shows a rise in young women's mortality. For those born in the 1950s, it was a rate of eight per
100,000; for those born in the 1960s - 14 per 100,000, while for those born in
the 1970s it rose to 20 per 100,000. However for men, comparable figures showed a recent decrease. A new survey in the United Kingdom has found that almost two-thirds of young women admit to drinking so much that they woke up the next morning with virtually no memory of events of the night before.
Interestingly, the rise in alcohol consumption among young women, especially in the United Kingdom, is prompting the alcohol industry to come up with new ways to attract female drinkers worldwide with new marketing approaches that will "create new drinking occasions and new opportunities."

The Buffett family is publishing a book on how to feed the new 2 billion people in the world in the next 40 years called "40 Chances." Some conclusions are Africa needs better seeds, fighting the drug trade can influence food insecurity, and more fertilizer isn't always the solution to maximizing farmers' yields. Their farms use GMOs, "genetically modified organisms," an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques to improve crop production.
