Often, we don't realize we miss infectious diseases until we have invasive species that become pests without their natural enemies. Parasites act like thermostats - when a species becomes abundant it is more susceptible to infectious diseases. The disease acts like a safety valve, keeping populations in check.

You can shut a valve off as tight as you think it can be, but when they're old like that, you don't always know for sure. I would say the gas line is at least 50 years old.

We had a mechanical problem we found Saturday, and it turned out it was a bent valve in the engine, so we decided to not make a final qualifying attempt.

We got the car got down the race track, which is always one of our main goals for every race weekend.

Just using our highly sensitive instrument -- our ears -- the starboard aft IMV(Intermodule Ventilation assembly) valve seems to be where the leak is. We can hear some air flow through there as the vestibule continues to re-pressurize using the station air.

Jim Voss

The judge was pretty clear he wasn't looking for an escape valve. He was looking for action.

Jeanine L'ecuyer

It took them a while to get to it, but once they did it didn't take them long to fix it. It had too much pressure coming off of it, so they had to put a valve on the end of a piece of pipe and put it on there to get the pressure off while they fixed it.

I can tell you where I was when Kennedy was shot - which was in the common room at school. I heard about it on the old valve radio. At the time of Armstrong's landing, I was at university rehearsing a play.

Turn the water valve on and listen for any leaks. Because let's say, there was a broken pipe inside the wall that froze while you were away, you're gonna catch it quickly before the house has a chance to fill up with water.

Tom Kraeutler

Under the hood, I have red wire loom over most of the hoses and lines. I sent the valve cover, part of the air intake and the back dash off and had all of them chromed. Directly under the hood itself, I have made a red cover that matches the trunk exactly, bringing the car together as a whole.

Bob Benzon

Inside is foam that acts like a sponge, when they're rolled up and air is forced out they're compact. To inflate, you unfurl it, open the valve and the action of the foam expanding acts like inhaling air, and it self-inflates.

Wayne Colwell

This is a normal diesel engine in this Jetta. What we've done is in the rear of the vehicle we've put a separate fuel tank that holds the french fry oil. That is transported to the front through these heated lines that use the actual engine heat to heat it. It comes through the filter which is also heated into the valve.
