If ProActiv or related treatments don't work for you, and you think Accutane is overkill, try Tretinoin cream treatment. It works wonders for my cystic acne that ProActiv failed to treat.
I went into the library bathroom during finals week of college. There was another guy in there going No. 2 in the stall. I used the urinal next to the stall. I flushed, and then learned the urinal was clogged. The water kept filling up the urinal and would not stop. It was gushing water. Seconds after flushing, the urinal began to gush and gush with water, like a water fountain. The floor immediately began to fill with water. The guy in the stall yelled, "WHAT THE F**K!" I just hightailed my butt out of there... can't say the same for him. Sorry, dude!
I am half white half Korean and when I went to visit my little Korean cousins I took them out to the park. They met their friends and they wanted my autograph. Apparently they like cursive and I have a good signature. I think it's the equivalent of knowing a guy who can paint Chinese symbols fairly artfully. It's exotic.
came across this article on the BBC and it seems the media in the States haven't bothered to report on this. I'm sure you're all familiar with the ongoing debate about China's rise and US's decline, and much of the dynamics are defined in raw economic terms. this survey highlights another aspect where the power competition is subtler but no less significant to the fate of both nations in the long run. this involves not just the performance of scientific and industrial R&D, but also the quality/output of high level education which in recent years have not received enough attention from policy-makers and general populations after a decade filled with security challenges and economic recession.
of course, the survey is far from conclusive as quantity, as yet, does not equal quality. but the trend has been set in motion and the US may be losing another on another front in this competition. so what's your take on the notion that 'the world's factory' is boosting its brain to go with its industrial brawl? do you think the US and the western world in general has become complacent after two centuries of leading the world in technological and scientific achievements? let's hear it.

Nothing to worry about yet... I do research and I read plenty of research publications and I hardly ever see a Chinese article. America absolutely dominates higher education and research without parallel.
Countries with large landmasses tend to be ethnically, culturally, economically, and politically heterogenous, so it's hard to really compare a country as large as the United States to other, smaller countries (e.g., Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland). A better analysis might be to carve up parts of the country and compare those parts to these other countries.
It happened in Riverside County, CA, USA... what a craphole place. It's also where they filmed much of "To Catch a Predator" (a.k.a. Chris Hansen's show).
It's to be expected that smell is the most popular sense to lose, while vision and hearing are lowest. There is a strong correlation here between preference for loss and amount of neuronal wiring that subserves that sensory modality. For example, the olfactory bulb serves the sense of smell and is very small. Vision and hearing, on the other hand, have the occipital and parietal lobes (roughly speaking), and these are much larger than the olfactory bulb.
