Happy Friday all! We have had a busy start to 2017, here at Trichotillomania Support! The most exciting thing is our lovely new volunteer, Sarah, who is helping with Social Media. Fabulous start on Instagram, Sarah!
I have recently had a conversation with an adorable 7 year old on Skype about hating curled eyelashes, which was interesting to me as I always hated the ones which wouldn't curl and seemed to grow straight. Which leads me to ask you, which eyelashes particularly bother you and why?
If you are a scalp puller, are you someone who goes for the wiggly or crinkly hairs? The HOURS I spent searching for those! We do have a lovely lady who would like a buddy with the crinkly hair obsession.
We have also had a lot of questions recently from our tric family about setting boundaries. Is there something you want to be more assertive about or someone you would like to respect your boundaries more?
With a new year starting lets open some dialogue and get talking about this condition, the things that wind us up and the things we're grateful for. Let's make 2017 the year we all come together to tame the tric monster.
Let me start, I am grateful for every second Sarah is here and helping to get us all chatting and accepting that we have this condition and it doesn't have to define us.
Now your turn…

Howard Lake-Waverly Herald, July 19, 1999
New HL ambulance serves community better
By Andrea Vargo
The Howard Lake Fire Department has a new ambulance, and if you attended Good Neighbor Days, you may have seen it on display.
The new vehicle has more room and better equipment than the old one.
"It rides better," said City Councilman Don Danford.
Tom Diers, the ambulance director, said it has a heavier chassis, so it does ride better and corners better.
In a tour through the interior, there is a side stretcher, as well as the center stretcher.
Room to move around a patient is an added advantage, said Diers. An emergency medical technician (EMT) can do ventilation and oxygen on one side, and another EMT can work on the other side without getting in each other's way.
"Anyone who is unconscious gets an airway," said Diers.
The inside is filled with storage compartments for everything from neck braces and bandages to resuscitation bags and obstetric kits.
A workspace for doing paper work is on the side with all the digital readouts for the oxygen tanks, the electric suction device, and a cell phone.
"Sometimes we have to call the emergency room, if we can't get them on the radio, and they are really overwhelmed," Diers said.
As you look at the ceiling, you notice there are some odd looking metal things with Velcro straps. These are holders for IV bags, but only a paramedic can insert an IV.
Shining down on the work area are "lots of really bright lights, so the team can see what they are doing," said Diers.
Storage doors open to reveal a baby car seat and a teddy bear.
"Small children are the hardest to deal with. We hope we never have to use this stuff," said Diers.
Most patients enter an ambulance in a highly stressed state, and Diers said the crew tries to ease the tension by explaining what is going on and what they are doing for the patient.
Making decisions on what to do for the patient is a team effort, said Diers.
"When we get a crew together, we feed off each other. That helps to determine the best approach," he said.
The people from the fire department become part of the team, when they are needed, Diers said.
They can perform triage and determine the order of treatment for the ambulance crew.
"We're at 22 volunteers, and everyone is an EMT. Denny Bobrowske is a paramedic, but according to law, he is not allowed to do much out of this ambulance. It is licensed as basic life support, not advanced life support," he said.
One of the more dangerous things the crew can get into is a domestic situation, noted Diers.
"Domestics are bad. You don't know what can happen, and who has a gun or knife," he said.
The ambulance crew has an average of three calls per week, and everyone is well prepared to do their jobs, said Diers.
"It's a job you hope you don't have to do," he said.

Education Resource and Information Centre (ERIC)
Education Resource and Information Centre (ERIC) was established in January 1999 with the assistance and cooperation of the Australian Govt. and the Australian Volunteers International (AVI). www.australianvolunteers.com. It was inaugurated by Mr. Geoff Allens the High Commissioner of Australia in Islamabad.
Establishment :
Sr. Patricia Kennedy (Founder)
Ms. Anita Cole (Co-Founder)
Ms. Angelika Weller (Patron)
Our faculty members are as follows:
Ms. Farzana Nazli
Ms. Rahat Bibi
Ms Aqeela Azeem
Ms. Yumna Rana
Lest we forget the former faculty & benefactors !!
From June 1998 to December 1999, services of Ms.Anita Cole an Australian Volunteer from Brisbane can never be forgotten in the difficult period of establishment of ERIC and development of training courses alongside Sr. Patricia Kennedy. Similarly, services of Volunteer Teacher Trainers Ms.Geni Sexton from Melbourne (Oct' 2000 - Dec' 2002), Ms.Jenny Learmont from Canberra (Jan to July 2003), Ms.Diedre Roberts from Adelaide (Dec' 03 to Feb' 04), Mr.John Darren Green from UK (2002 & 2005), Ms.Fazila Aswat from South Africa (April to Oct 2007) and Consultants Ms.Sharon Wright & Ms.Geraldine Ditchburn (Perth) will always be remembered and cherished by all those who benefitted from their work and cultural exchanges.
ERIC could not have been established without the relentless and selfless support of Ms.Conny Lenneberg the former Head of Asia Bureau of the AVI and the management. Presently, she is the Head of Development of the World Vision International (Australia).
Functions / How it works
ERIC supports the community by providing:
It is sad that the only profession which can be adopted without any training or skill in the private sector in Pakistan is Teaching. It is unique in the world too !
In order to find well trained teachers in the community, the respective Principals or Directors of these schools can refer all those applicants looking for teaching jobs to ERIC for pre and in-service training on their own cost so that they are given preference in selection for jobs. This is the least one can do to increase the number of trained teachers available for employment.
ERIC services are available throughout NWFP on demand. Representatives and faculty members are based in Abbottabad and Islamabad also.
Practical teacher training is offered in a course consisting of three modules which is very comprehensive
Emphasises the importance of reflection and planning in education.
The topics covered include:
* The Teacher's Role
* The Aims of Schools
* Good Teachers
* Categories of Learning
* Human Development
* The Learning Environment
* The Planning Process
* Learning Objectives
* Subject Matter
* Writing a Format for Daily Planning
Module-A comprises of 24 contact hours covered in a mutually agreed & convenient period.
Pre-service Module-A has an additional 12 hours practical component, which totals 36 contact hours.
Provides opportunities for teachers to discover new teaching strategies and activities as well as developing their instructional skills. This workshop incorporates a practical component where teachers are assessed on their lesson planning and teaching. The topics covered include:
* Beginning the Lesson
* Concluding a Lesson
* Questioning and Responding
* Selecting and Using Instructional Resources
* Broadcast Strategy
* Drill Strategy
* Exposition Strategy
* Demonstration Strategy and others
Develops the trainee's management skills and techniques for student evaluation. The topics covered include:
* Preventing Management Problems
* Techniques for Responding to Inappropriate Child Behavior
* Punishment / Discipline strategies

* Evaluative Techniques
* Teacher-Made Tests
* Interpreting Student Performance
Modules B & C comprises 30 hours
Schools interested in having a training course designed for a particular need should contact the Centre's Coordinator or Director.

Spoken English Language Classes
ERIC offers top class Teacher Training through its Australian trained faculty
It is very unfortunate fact of life in Pakistan that despite highest educational qualification and even top position holders may not be able to speak or communicate in English language just because they did not get enough exposure to English. It is also an ironic fact that most job interviews in private and public sector are taken in English language. Hence a large segment of such candidates continue to lag behind in selections and thus remain un-employed.
ERIC offers specially designed Spoken English courses which makes any educated person to be fluent in English after one month training.

With a little help from his friends! Mario Balotelli introduces us to his new band
MARIO BALOTELLI has proved to Liverpool fans he knows all about the city's culture and history – by posting this hilarious picture.
The Italian striker, who joined the Reds for £16m, posted on Instagram a picture of his face photoshopped onto an iconic picture of The Beatles.
But instead of John, Paul, George and Ringo though the photo became Mario, Mario, Mario and Mario.
The eccentric Italian watched from the stands as his new side crashed to a 3-1 defeat to his former club Manchester City on Monday.
And Super Mario could make his debut for Brendan Rodgers' side on Sunday against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
"I think by the weekend he'll be ready to feature," Rodgers said.
"He's been into pre-season and he's played three 45-minute games. He might not be up to full match speed, but he's looking fit.
"I think everybody is looking forward to working with him"Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson
"We've done some analysis on him. The medical and sports science team have worked with him already and he's in very, very good condition.
"He's in to work and he'll be available for the squad for the weekend."
New team-mate Jordan Henderson believes the 24-year-old striker can give the team a boost.
He said: "I think everybody is looking forward to working with him.
"He is a very talented player and a very big player coming into the club.
"Hopefully he can give us a big lift and play some part in the next game."

Sworn Virgin 2015
Thanks to J_J_J
For centuries, girls in Albania have taken solemn vows of chastity and lived as men. In the modern day, one such person questions the decisions they've made.
An estranged relative arrives unannounced at a family home in Rome. All we are able to surmise about him is that he probably wasn't born male. Flashbacks show us his story and reveal the severity of a partriarchal society. Mark was once Hana who, with her adoptive sister Lila, discovered in their adolescence the fate that lay in store for them. Lila is betrothed to a man she has not met and given a bullet – part of her dowry in case she displeases her new husband. Hana opts to never marry, and following ancient tradition – wherein she takes a solemn vow of chastity – learns to shoot and lives as a man. But in modern day Rome, Mark wonders if he hasn't wasted his life. Beautifully shot and acted, Laura Bispuri's film unfolds quietly, admirably refusing to pass judgement on anyone.

|Hartman's Mountain Zebra
Zebra are species of wild horse in the genus Eqqus that are best known for their black and white stripes. They are scientifically known as the Eqqus quagga (Plains zebra), the Eqqus zebra (Mountain zebra) and the Eqqus grevyi (Grevy's zebra). They are found in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, and the Grevy's zebra and mountain zebra are endangered species. All zebras have a unique pattern of stripes, [2] [3] and are generally social animals and are usually found in herds.[4] It is believed that the stripes serve as camouflage while in herds by confusing predators through motion dazzle, and that the unique patterns help to identify each other.
Body Design
The body design of a zebra is known to be covered in a pattern of black and white stripes, which are unique to each zebra.[5] Some think that the reason every zebra's stripe pattern is different is so that the other zebras can identify each other in the herd. A zebra's size varies on the species, but most range between 3 and a half feet to 5 feet at shoulder height and range between 7 and 9 feet in length. The largest species of zebra is the Grevy's Zebra and it's easily identifiable by its large and rounded ears. The zebra's body shape is symmetrical and is covered in stripes almost everywhere except the underbelly and inner thighs. [6] Zebras have large ears and eyes which increases their senses of hearing and sight. The zebra can rotate its own ear to hear and locate sounds without having to move their body towards the sound. The eyes of the zebra give it a wider sense of vision because they are set further back in the zebra's skull. With this optimum sight and hearing zebras can find predators easier, and can give themselves more time to escape. [6] The zebra has long slender legs with narrow hooves that allow the zebra to reach speeds of 25 mph. [7]
The skin of a zebra is black and is covered by white hairs on top that comprises the stripes. Unlike horses, the mane of a zebra goes straight up and are also striped like the rest of the body. Zebras have long necks and heads which make it easier to feed on grass from the ground. [7] Zebras also have matching incisors to aid in tearing tough grasses. [6]
Life Cycle
Zebras reproduce sexually, and are born well developed. Newborns are so developed that they can hear and can walk or run almost run instantly after birth. They follow their dams (mothers) in the first few weeks of their life. The dam provides the newborn guidance and sustenance despite their independent appearance. The foal (newborn zebra) is capable of following the herd on its own with little guidance. After birth not all zebras stay in the same herd for life. The dam nurses the foal for up to a year and once they finish, the foal will leave the dam's side and join the rest of the herd. [8] Once they reach about 22 months old they may choose themselves to leave the herd. After leaving their herd, the zebra finds other zebras that also left their herds of a similar age. When the zebra reaches the age of sexual maturity is when they fall into more solid herds. [9] Male zebras usually reach sexual maturity at age three and a half years old but usually don't breed until they are around five years old. Female zebras reach sexual maturity between the ages of three and six. She will typically give birth once every three years and is reproductively active until her 24th year. Zebras can live up to 30 years in the wild, mainly because old age makes an easy target for predators.[8]
Most zebras are found in grasslands of in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. Zebras are very social animals and they spend most of their time in herds. Zebras are grazing herbivores and they eat mostly grasses. When they graze, you will usually see most of the zebras heads down eating with one on the look out for predators.[2] The zebra, like most animals have natural predators like lions, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, cheetahs and leopards. The zebra's key defense against attack is its speed and ability to kick with a massive amount of power. [4]
The zebras compete with the other livestock because they both have to find areas to feed from. The decrease in food can be harmful to the zebras. They are also threatened by hunters and habitat changes for farming. Both the Grevy's zebra and the mountain zebra are listed as endangered species, because the zebras are natural prey of lions, spotted hyenas and more predators. The range of the Grevy's zebra has decreased so significantly that any change in it's habitat such as a drought could affect the entire species. [2]

Retail chains perennially use the Super Bowl hype machine to sell big-screen TVs.
This year, Verizon (VZ - Get Report) is using the big game to promote its Yahoo! Sports app on the small screen, after reportedly paying the NFL $1.5 billion for the rights to stream games for five years.
Yahoo! Sports has been streaming the NFL playoffs this year for free on mobile phones, and will carry Super Bowl LII on Sunday. The promotion is the latest effort in the short history of NFL streaming that includes companies such as Amazon (AMZN - Get Report) and Twitter (TWTR - Get Report) . As NFL ratings decline, making deals with Amazon, Alphabet's (GOOGL - Get Report) YouTube and Facebook (FB - Get Report) would provide the NFL with new sources of revenue, and could force traditional broadcasters to pay more.
Yahoo Sports is selling ads during the games. The playoff games have attracted advertisers such as TD Ameritrade (AMTD - Get Report) and Toyo Tires (TOTTF) . The digital sports hub has also sold spots to Yahoo! foe Facebook and Verizon competitors Sprint (S - Get Report) . Facebook's spots promote its "Tom vs Time" video series about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
AOL boss Tim Armstrong wants Oath to become to brand advertising what Amazon's Google is to search and Facebook is to social media advertising. Armstrong aims to build the Oath's base of 1.3 billion users to 2 billion by 2020.
Since announcing the promotion on Jan. 9, the company has had more than 600,000 new app installs on the Yahoo! Sports app, which doesn't going to get Armstrong much closer to 2 billion users. By allowing rivals Facebook and Sprint to promote their businesses on Yahoo! Sports, Oath is demonstrating its commitment to the advertising model.
Verizon doesn't have exclusive streaming rights to the Super Bowl. NBC Sports and the NFL will also stream the game on their apps.
New Yorkers can watch the game, or any television show that is broadcast over the air, on the web site of non-profit startup Locast.org. The free service is reminiscent of Aereo, a company backed by Barry Diller that let viewers watch local TV online for a fee. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Aereo illegal in 2014. However, Locast can put the TV signals online because the non-profit does not charge a fee. The group hopes to expand to markets outside of New York, and is developing apps for Android and Roku (ROKU - Get Report) .
The NFL has had a few pacts with Silicon Valley. Amazon made it NFL livestream debut this year, after reportedly bidding $50 million to carry Thursday Night Football games online. Amazon Prime attracted 18.4 million viewers in 11 games this year. The e-commerce power succeeded Twitter, which streamed Thursday Night Football in 2016. Pre-Verizon Yahoo! was the first to globally stream a live NFL game for free, when 33.6 million viewers watched the Buffalo Bills play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Wembley Stadium in 2015.
Interest from digital media groups come amid a serious broadcast slump for the league. "With regular season ratings down 13% and playoff runs down between 12% and 20%, the NFL is experience a structural decline in viewership, and it is going to be an issue!" MoffettNathanson LLC analyst Michael Nathanson wrote in a late-January report.
Media watchers were eager to see if Amazon would go all in and buy exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football next year. However, Fox (FOXA) is reportedly paying $660 million per season on a five-year deal to carry Thursday night games.
Still, Amazon, Google and Facebook could buy rights for Monday night and Sunday night packages, analyst Nathanson. Disney's (DIS - Get Report) ESPN pays $1.9 billion per year for Monday Night Football, While Sunday Night Football is a relative bargain for Comcast's (CMCSA - Get Report) NBC at $960 million per year.
Despite Silicon Valley's skill at luring consumers to e-commerce sites and social media networks, they have not yet made much of a dent in the NFL. Amazon made up just 2.5% of Thursday Night Football viewership, Nathanson observed. "[T]he NFL will need to encourage digital bidders to enter the auctions to drive up prices, but may be uncomfortable with the low ratings produced by Twitter and Amazon during these early experiments," he wrote.
While Amazon, Facebook, YouTube and Yahoo! may provide the NFL with new revenue streams, don't expect a hail Mary that saves the pro-football's broadcast game anytime soon.

As an assistant coach at Central Catholic last season, Darnell Braswell had a front-row seat to one of the best high school boys basketball seasons in Lehigh Valley history as the Vikings went 29-1 and reached the state quarterfinals.
But over the past two nights, Braswell and Terrence Roderick delivered a reminder that the 2006 Allen High state quarterfinalist team they played on wasn't too bad either.
On Wednesday night, Roderick set a Tournament of Champions record by scoring 53 points in a win for his Certified Chemical team.
On Thursday night, Roderick added 35 more points, but that wasn't enough to defeat Braswell and his Pammer Chiropractic squad.
Braswell scored 34 points and was the MVP as Pammer defeated Roderick and Certified Chemical 87-67 at Catasauqua Playground in the final game of the 25th annual TOC.
The former Canaries went head to head and Braswell did his best to slow down Roderick, who was unstoppable a night earlier.
"Terrence is a special talent; one of the best to ever come out of here," Braswell said of his former teammate. "He's a pro and plays like a pro. I just tried to stay in front of him and make him work. He still made some tough shots. When he does that, you just move on to the next play."
Roderick made seven 3-pointers, but fatigue may have caught up with him as he missed several free throws late to stall a potential rally for his team.
Braswell, who starred at DeSales Universityi, made his share of special plays. He also had more help. Former Freedom star Joe Lococo pumped in 20 points and Steve Kritsey, who played at Daniel Boone High in Berks County and DeSales, chipped in 16.
Former Easton star Brent Williams, last year's tourney MVP for Roosevelt's 21st, moved the ball around effectively in playing on a title team for the second straight year.
"We have a lot of talent here," said John Pammer, the former Central Catholic standout who serves as sponsor and coach for the North Catty League champs. "These guys play as a team. Nobody complains about scoring. They just play and have a lot of fun together. We finished 16-0 and you kind of wish you could keep playing."

The President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, on Wednesday called for more investment in Tunisia which is in an economic slump but stressed the importance for the country to "fight against corruption".
"What we need in my view, is to invest in the country. To attract foreign investment," said Mr Schulz at a press conference in Tunis airport at the end of a three-day visit.
"I heard this call for a Marshall Plan. It always sounds very promising. But growth not only through EU investments. External capital is needed for investing," Schulz said while referring to a call made by Tunisia's Parliament Speaker Mohamed Ennaceur urging the EU to put in place a "Marshall Plan" to help secure his country's struggling economy.
Schulz defended the opening of negotiations for an Agreement on Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with Brussels, and assured that "the opening of the Tunisian market" was intended to "attract foreign investment."
The EU parliament head, who met in the morning with Tunisia's president Beji Caid Essebsi, visited Sousse, the scene of an attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group which killed 38 people, including 30 Britons in June, on Tuesday and urged tourists to return to the north African state.
Three bloody attacks in 2015 claimed by IS have led to a sharp drop in Tunisia's tourism activity.
Economic difficulties coupled with lack of jobs, nearly sparked a second revolution last month after social riots in several cities rocked the country pushing the government to impose a state of emergency which was lifted end of last week.

Margaret (Peggy) E. Natelli
February 25, 1923 - August 16, 2011
Peggy was born in Bayonne, New Jersey and moved to California with husband Mario upon the birth of her beloved granddaughter Brooke. Family was of paramount importance to Peggy and she is survived by her daughter, Karen, son-in-law, Skip, husband Mario, granddaughter Brooke, her husband Chris and the most recent addition to the family, little Lilly, Peggy's great-granddaughter.
Peggy was a mentor and wonderful friend, encouraging all who were blessed to know her to be all that they could be. She loved life and people, bringing a ready smile and sense of caring to all situations. To all our friends she was "grandmama." Peggy's love of travel was apparent as she so enjoyed family trips to Europe, Hawaii and New York.
Peggy's great smile was an asset in her career as a dental assistant in New Jersey and later in property management in California, but her favorite job and greatest pleasure was raising her daughter, Karen, and watching granddaughter Brooke grow up to be the wonderful woman she is today.
A memorial service will be held for Peggy on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 10:30am at Pacific View Memorial Park, 3500 Pacific View Drive, Corona Del Mar, 92625.

[Here is Chapter Four of my Novel Journeys End. This is the last chapter that I will be posting on here as I am hoping to get it published. I am still working on the rewrite, and I want to thank everyone who is helping me with that. I will be posting if and when it gets published. I want to thank you all for your support Chapters One, Two & Three can be found here]
Chapter Four
I pack up the remains of my gear and start to head out. I have no idea where I'm going so I just walk.
I come up to the old school that I went to and can't help but think about Cassie, 'Was that real? Or am I just reaching for something to hang onto?' I wonder to myself as I walk.
I keep walking, wondering about this and before I know it I have made my way back to my parent's house. I didn't even realise where I was until I reach the smouldering remains of the house I grew up in.
I stand in front of the ruins, and start shaking.
My legs are about to give way so I sit on the front step of the house like I have done hundreds of times in my life, and try to think of what to do next.
I sit there for what seems like hours when the rain starts again. I pull myself to my feet, pushing the swinging door open and make my way into the ruins of the house to take shelter.
As I look about and take in the devastation, I realise that this is the first time I've been back since the invasion.
No one, besides me, has survived. I look around the rubble to see if I can find anything salvageable that could be useful.
I rummage around in what remains of the living room, and I find my mum's old photo album I pull it out from under the pile of rubble that used to be the ceiling below my bedroom and look through it.
I can feel the tears welling up, along with the anger that I have at the fact everything has been taken from me. As I flick through the book, I come across a picture of the family, Me, my Mum, Dad and Karen. It was taken on Karen's last birthday, and we all look so happy.
Tears start to fall as I hold the picture in my hand, and it hits me for the first time that this is all that is left, this one photograph is all there is of my family.
"There is nothing left for me here," I say to myself as I hold the picture over my heart and slide it into my breast pocket. I head, to chase away the tears and to clear my head when I catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye.
I walk over, moving the upturned couch to see my old panda teddy bear. I pick him up hugging him close to me as the emotions burst out of me again. "I can't believe you survived," I say to him as a sad smile crosses my face. "Of all the things in this place to survive you did."
I head out of the hollow husk that was my home for most of my life, holding Panda in my arms and say to him "Let's go, old friend, it's time we go on one last and final adventure."
As I leave the house I hear the roar of an engine 'Fuck, they found me.' I think as I crouch behind the wall trying not to be seen.
I look around and see the ship soaring overhead as soon as it passes I make a run for it. I reach the fence that's somehow still standing, and I jump up to climb it and get away. I have to admit I'm more than a little freaked out when I clear the eight-foot fence with ease, I scream as I fall over the top and land flat on my face on the other side. I don't have time to think about what the hell just happened. So I haul myself up off the ground and run back towards the old school to hide until it gets dark.
As night begins to fall a thousand thoughts are running through my head, and I can't clear them. Before I do anything, I need to compose myself and get my head together.
Before the attack I wasn't happy, I was suffering from high anxiety and depression that I was gearing up for the fight of my life against my own inner demons to get better. Little did I know that real demons were on their way.
As bizarre as that sounds, the invasion has only done good things for my mental health. But I still feel the same way in my down time even though those times are fewer and far between. Anyway, at times that I am too wrapped up in my head, there was only one place I always went to so I could clear it out and get my thoughts together.
So that's where I'm going, but first, I need a car.
I make my way to the industrial estate where all garages used to be, hoping that something is still intact there.
"Please for the love of god let there be something here. I need to get going soon." Talking to myself as I get close to the Mercedes garage because the rest have all been a bust. I walk into the ruined showroom, and it's hopeless. Everything is destroyed.
"Balls!" I slump down in the one remaining chair in the place and start trying to think of a new plan. This was my last hope now I'm going to have to walk, and it's going to take forever.
"For someone so smart you really can be an idiot at times, you know that Sam?" Comes Cassie's voice from behind me.
"Argh" I squeal as I fall out of the chair. "What the hell?" I stare up at the ceiling waiting for my heart to stop racing.
"Don't hurt yourself there, big guy!" I can hear the smirk in her voice and know damn well that she's trying not to laugh.
"You know, I can't decide if you're a voice in my head or not, but could you please not come out of nowhere like that and scare the crap out of me like? I'm a little on edge these days."
"Oh buck up buttercup" replies Cassie through snorting laughter, "I'm here to help you. If you insist on doing something idiotic, then I want to try and make sure you survive it."
"Well, isn't that sweet!" I say irritably "For a strange disembodied voice that is probably in my head, you really do know how to make an entrance and why did you call me an idiot?"
"Thanks." I can hear the grin in her voice, "You only looked in the showroom for a car. Did it not occur to you to look in the workshop out at the back before giving up?"
I just stare dumbfounded. How could I have been so stupid, it's obvious now that I should have checked the workshop. I am an idiot, but I'm not going to admit it to a voice in my head, even if it is Cassandra. "No, I didn't give up," I protest feebly, "I was just regrouping my thoughts before looking further."
Cassie snorts "Yeah right. Uh huh. I believe you."
"Oh shut up, stop laughing at me," I growl but have a slight smile on my face.
I get up from the ground and head out to the back of the workshop where I stop at the door to take a deep breath and get prepared for the worst that is yet to come. I close my eyes and step through the door, not daring to look. Slowly, I open my eyes, and a genuine grin spreads all over my face.
I never thought I'd own a silver convertible Mercedes, and here I am cruising down the motorway top down wind in my hair going a hundred and fifty miles per hour it's an incredible feeling.
Well, I suppose "own" is a strong word but I just like the feeling of it, I can already feel my head begin to clear. I was lucky to find this impressive machine still working, even luckier that it had a full tank.
"See I told you not to give up."
I almost veer off the road and into the crash barrier "Will you stop doing that!" You almost killed both of us!" I shout after I regain control of the car.
"Oh calm down, besides I'm not really here," Cassie replies calmly.
"Right, fine but can you please stop jumping out on me Like that?" I ask sorely.
"Hmm let me think about that… no, it's fun." Cassie giggles.
"Well, I'm happy you are amused with yourself," I say grumpily "I've missed that laugh of yours, it's been too long since I heard your laugh. It's nice. I've missed you, Cass."
"I've missed you as well," she says
"Are you alright? Are you safe? Can you tell me where you are?"
"I'm alright now, there are times when I'm not so alright, but I can't talk about that. Is anyone safe these days? And I can't tell you where I am, and I know that if I tell you, you will come straight to me, and I am not going to put you in any harm's way. I'm sorry Sam, I know I'm vague, but I have no choice."
I sigh to myself thinking back to all the years that I have known Cassie. We have known each other for as long as I can remember. We grew up next door to each other and used to spend almost every waking moment with each other before her family moved away.
She was the one that would always get me into trouble convincing me to go places that my mother had strictly told me not to go to. She liked to get into trouble, and I was always the one who had to get her out of trouble protecting her from the people who she would piss off, mostly by just standing there and intimidating them.
Even though I was trained in martial arts by my granddad when I was young I was more interested in the sword work than the actual fighting, I've never been much of a fighter, but I can hold my own.
So I would just stand there by her side and be the big bouncer just looking at people and chasing them off protecting her. Some things never change I suppose.
"Cassandra, when we were kids, I swore to you that I would always protect you, and I'm going to live up to that promise. Can you tell me if you are actually here or have I finally cracked with the solitude? I haven't seen another living soul since initial attack, except for the beasts."
"You can't protect me, this time, Sam, this isn't like when we were younger." She replies, "I also can't tell you if I'm real or not, or how I can contact you if I am. You're not ready yet. If I told you now, it would destroy you, and I won't do that to you."
"Ok…" I start to say then push that aside. "Actually no it's not ok I deserve, no scratch that I need answers! You have them, and I need them. You said if I'm going to do something stupid then you were going to try and keep me safe, so I need to know. What's going on? Please."
I can hear her sigh "I can tell you that I'm in no immediate danger. I'm being kept safe for now as long as I co-operate I'm safe." Cassie said in a whisper
"Cooperate with whom? What are you doing for them?" I ask
"I can't tell you anymore just now. I promise you that you will get the answers you need but not now, just wait a little bit longer. Ok?"
I can't take the pleading in her voice, and I shed a tear. "Ok, Cassie. I'll accept that for now, but this isn't over. We will talk this out later." My voice breaking as I say it.
I can hear the pain in her voice, what I've said clearly hurt her but it had to be said. "So where are we going?" She asks, changing the subject.
"Well you're not really here are you?" I say arching an eyebrow at nothing "Anyway, I'm going down to the Forth River by the bridges."
"Why the bridges?"
"It's peaceful by the river. It's where I've always gone to get my head and thought together, the sound of the water is soothing. You remember my granddad?" I ask her
"Yeah, I always liked him, he was so funny." She replied, and I can hear the smile in her voice.
"Well, he used to take me there when my mum and dad were working." I let out a chuckle at the memory, "We used to go to the beach down there to collect shellfish, and muscles, for him to cook or to go fishing with. It's also where he taught me martial arts; you remember we were always playing with those replica swords. After you had left, he started training me properly on how to use one. He also taught me to fight.
"The view is especially spectacular on a clear night when the bridges brighten up the horizon just as if the stars fell from the sky and got attached to the stone granite and the high steel of the Forth bridge. God knows how many times I have come down here wishing that you were here as well." I say
We drive along in silence for a moment then Cass says "I remember the view there. It is beautiful. It would be nice to see it again."
"That's a point, can you actually see me? Or are you just in my head?"
"Yes I can see everything you can see, and I can see you."
"How is that possible?" I ask
"Sam, please, you promised you'd let it go." I can hear the pain again.
"Ok, Cassie. I'm sorry, I'll stop pushing you… For now." I concede "So you can see me is it possible for me to see you?"
"I honestly don't know, I haven't tried and I can't at the moment. I'm too tired. It takes so much strain and concentration to keep up the connection."
I notice the slip there, and I store it away, this is the first indication I've gotten that Cassie is real and really with me, but I let it go.
We are almost there, I know it's wishful thinking that the bridges will still be standing. I once read an article on high-risk targets and the bridges were ranked one of the highest so I doubt they are still standing, but I can hope.
I keep driving not saying anything further since my mind is too preoccupied trying to come up with a plan.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of Cassie singing Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' I look over at the passenger seat where I imagine she is sitting, and I just burst out laughing. I can't help it.
Here I am driving a stolen silver Mercedes convertible, heading to my quiet place to come up with a plan of what to do from there and my imaginary friend is sitting next to me singing 'Don't stop me now.'
Even in my wildest imagination, I couldn't have come up with a more preposterous scene. It feels so good to laugh again.

Collagen: for all you skeptics out there I promise this will not alter the taste of your morning smoothie and the health benefits are amazing.
• Healthy gut repair and brain function• Greater mobility and flexibility• Strong, healthy muscles• Healthier, stronger bones and joints• Vibrant, firmer, glowing skin to fight back against the effects of aging• Weight management and/or weight loss• Deeper and more restful sleep
Avocados contain both insoluble and soluble fiber; that alone make them a very powerful superfood, and not many superfoods can brag about containing both. The benefits of each will keep you feeling good and looking great. Insoluble fiber is great at cleaning out your bowels by way of increasingly efficient bowel movements. Soluble fiber is great for appetite control, which will keep your hand out of the cookie jar, and your butt in your skinny jeans.
Soup has a high water content, which can help you feel full. And, just like salad, it's a good vehicle for vegetables with lots of fiber, which promotes feeling full for longer with fewer calories.
Pretty sure it's every kids dream to wake up in the morning and have some sort of chocolate concoction for breakfast right? Well now you can AND feel good about it. Not only does this granola pack a punch full of health benefits but it's also delicious to boot. Did you know that Raw Cacao is actually an Antioxidant? Antioxidants stabilize and ultimately destroy free radicals in our body, which can injure your cells by interfering with cell membranes, and damaging DNA. Over time, a buildup of free radicals can accelerate aging, contribute to changes that can lead to heart disease and even raise your risk of developing cancer. So do yourself a favour, start your day the right way with a big bowl of Cow Crumbs chocolatey granola.

Succotash is your Comedy Podcast Podcast and, as such, we feel it's our duty to keep stretching the definition of "comedy podcast" a bit more when we can. Succotash hit the road to interview this week's special guest, Kelly Carlin, who was kind enough to invite me into her home for a discussion about comedy, podcasts, and her late father, comedy legend George Carlin.
She's a smart, lively, funny, and fascinating personality, who hosts Waking From The American Dream, an internet radio show and podcast. Interestingly, we learn that she wasn't involved in the world of comedy very much while her dad was alive but, immediately following his passing, she found herself greeted by well-wishers of high status in the comedy community, who were anxious to make the only child of a comedy figurehead know that she was welcome to become part of this great extended family.
It's an interesting conversation, one which I've broken up over the hour-long episode and interspersed with a handful of clips from some comedy podcasts we've not featured yet:
• Affirmation Nation
As I mention in the show this week, Affirmation Nation is one of my new favorite p'casts. The installments are short and can be found daily over on Earwolf.com. Featuring Bob Ducca, there's a great lampooning of "feel good-ness" going on in each tasty bite of this offering. (Apologies to Bob, Seth Morris, and the Earwolf folks - I blew leaving the link info in the show this time! I'll mention it in Epi10. In the meantime...)
• Cinematic Method
Funny concept and follow-thru for a show by a quintet of guys. They watch movie trailers and, from those alone, attempt to predict the film's ratings on the Rotten Tomatoes site. Talk about meta! In this clip, the guys examine recent release Fright Night.
• Comedy-A-Go-Go
Friend of Succotash Dave Nelson and his p'cast are back on the show via this clip featuring a taste of his interview with actor/comedian TJ Miller. Dave's a touchstone for podcast and comedy happenings in the Midwest, and we're glad he asked if we'd revisit his program.
• The Mad Ranters
An "open forum where a 'nothing is sacred' approach is taken" is how the Mad Ranters' website talks about their podcast. Angus and his crew take everything to task and leave no stone unturned along the way. We're just giving you a taste: Angus ranting solo about drivers in the middle lane.
So we're a little short on the clip count this week to better accommodate our interview with Ms. Carlin. But you'll also catch another Burst O' Durst with regular contributor and political comedian extraordinaire Will Durst (www.WillDurst.com and @WillDurst on Twitter), plus we dip into the Tweet Sack and have another new ad from the folks at Henderson's Pants.
Lastly, we've received zero calls on the new Succotash Hotline at (818) 921-7212, which leads me to believe everyone's incredibly happy with what we're doing, nobody's listening, or you all wish that it was toll-free. Regardless, if you're listening to the show and could do us the great honor of going up to iTunes to rate it ANd review it, we'll be your bestest friend ever.
Hope you enjoy this week's serving and that you'll do your best to pass the Succotash!

Episode 8 is up (in record time - just was laying it down at Studio P last night - way to go, engineer/producer Joe Paulino!) and not only do we have a whole new passle o' podcasts but this epi features special guest co-host Rob Celli. He's one half (combined with LA-based partner Jason Duplissea) of popular podcast What Duvet Said. (WDS isn't a comedy podcast, per se, but the hosts have a sly sense of humor that touches everything that they talk about during the course of their weekly hour.)
We kick things off with a quick trip through the Tweet Sack (the Succotash version of a mailbag feature), and unveil the new Succotash Hotline number: 1 (818) 921-7212. Then Rob and I launch into a slew of podcast clips, most of them chosen by Rob. (The first pair of segments are features from What Duvet Said — hear Rob and Jason's podcast at www.WhatDuvetSaid.com or grab it from iTunes.) The rest of podcasts, in order of appearance…
• Good Clean Fun
• Gee & Jay Radio Show
• S & M Rants Podcast
• The Jimmy Dore Show
• Comedy Bang Bang
• The Pod F. Tomkast
• Comedy Accident
We close out Epi8 with our regular feature, Burst O' Durst, provided every edition by San Francisco premiere political comedian Will Durst. (For more Durst, visit his site at www.WillDurst.com and follow him on Twitter @WillDurst.)
So download a helping from this week's stash, tell your friends and don't forget to pass the Succotash!

I tried to go to my friend Mark Wiener's group show opening at Danese Gallery last evening. Mark was especially jazzed about the show because it included a lot of other wonderful artists, which is probably why it was packed. The line to get in the building snaked out the door and down the block. Granted there were a number of artists in the show, but the length of the line seemed a bit strange. I have to admit, I'm not very good at dealing with crowds in small spaces, and I thought that this didn't bode well for my claustrophobic inclinations. I had to bag on the experience, and I felt badly for doing so, but six floors up, a crowded room full of artists, and one overcrowded/overworked elevator/stairwell just creeped me out. I emailed Mark today to apologize, and he wrote back that the elevator had broken down with 10 people caught inside. Now this may not be any big thing for you, but for me, to have been one of those 10 poor souls, would have been a defining experience… I felt like I dodged a bullet.
Going to openings is something we're all supposed to do. It's part of the artist's job description here in NYC. Sometimes it's great, especially if your friends are enjoying themselves. But I can tell you it's a fucking drag if you can't deal with the teeming hordes that pack some of these places. I'll go to an after party if I get invited, but if that gets packed too, I'll be gone in no time. I'm not sure why I'm sharing this with you, I mean, who gives a damn, really? Chalk this up to an artist's whinging on about nothing at all…. my apologies!

This week the government changed the way it measures the size and growth of our economy. Its new figures deliver a clear message, one that reinforces President Obama's recent emphasis on shifting away from deficit mania and focusing on jobs.
If you don't want to review the data yourself, we'll get you through it all in ten easy steps:
1. This is a better way to measure the economy.
These changes make sense. Previous measurements didn't include investment in research and development or intellectual and artistic efforts, both of which have an essential role to play in our national destiny.
These new figures, from the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), are a better way to measure the economy.
2. These changes have some interesting effects.
Adding the value of intellectual creations to the total size of our economy leads to some unexpected results. As the Financial Times reported, Seinfeld has earned $3.1 billion in syndicated reruns since the show ended its original broadcasts in 1998.
Those earnings will now be included in the nation's GDP, in a category known as "artistic originals," along with books, movies, music, other television programs, and other copyrighted materials. They're calling it "the Seinfeld effect."
The new methodology will also change the way pensions are included in the GDP. It's technical, but they will use a technique called "accrual-based accounting" to calculate … yada yada yada …
What? Oh, I get it. You're still thinking about "the Seinfeld effect."
3. The economy's bigger than we thought.
The value of this intangible capital adds roughly 3.6 percent to the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
4. Which means that government deficits are even less of a problem than we thought.
Washington's deficit hysteria has been misplaced from the start. European obsession with austerity economics caused that continent massive economic harm (and actually increased European deficits.) The flaw in this thinking's become even clearer as the national deficit has continued to fall, from over 10 percent of GDP in 2009 to a projected 4 percent for the current fiscal year.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And those are the old numbers. With these new calculations, the GDP is understood to be larger – but Federal spending isn't. So the Federal deficit as a percentage of GDP – a ratio that's raised alarm in certain circles – is even smaller than we thought.
5. They're saying the recession wasn't as bad as originally thought …
A number of news reports about the new calculations led with the idea that the recession wasn't as severe as we thought, and that the recovery's been slightly better than we thought.
That's true – on a macro level. But with growing wealth inequality, that doesn't change the reality for the majority of Americans. A lot of people are hurting, and nothing in these calculations changes that.
6. … it was still enormous.
This was still a devastating downturn, the most severe in modern memory. A record number of people are seeking work, and the number of people living in poverty has skyrocketed.
This is still a national economic emergency for tens of millions of Americans.
7. We need more government spending.
Growth for the first quarter of 2013 was revised downward to a miserable 1.1 percent, driven in large part by reduced government spending. Initial figures for the second quarter, which were released today, were better than expected at 1.7 percent. That is, however, still an anemic figure.
One reason growth was better than expected is that government spending didn't drop as quickly as projected. It did drop, however, and that hurt the economy.
(Non-residential and residential investments also helped on the growth side, as did rising inventories and slightly better-than-expected consumer spending.)
8. We need more demand.
Consumer confidence, which had been rising, declined this month. Consumers believe they're cutting back, even though spending has actually increased, which suggests pent-up demand. And since rising home prices account for a large chunk of that increased spending, they're probably right.
Consumer spending is a large part of the US GDP, compared to other developed nations or to earlier decades in this country. We need consumer confidence and consumer spending if our economy is to grow.
9. The weak link is Federal spending.
What will get us there? The first and second-quarter numbers tell the story: Federal spending is a key engine of the economy in times like these. Instead of cuts, we should invest – in good jobs. That will increase consumer spending and consumer confidence.
10. That means the President is right to be talking about jobs.
The President's been emphasizing job creation over deficit reduction recently, and that's the right way to go. In fact, it's the only way to go.
The sequester's still taking a sledgehammer to the economy. If Federal spending changes are taken out of the calculation, second quarter growth would have been 2.2 percent rather than 1.7 percent. We're shooting ourselves in the foot with spending cuts, even though the deficit's far smaller than we expected or believed.
And yet Republicans are still ignoring reality. They're trying to extend and even double down on the sequester's destructive spending cuts, despite the economic evidence – and despite our crumbling infrastructure. It's time to invest in jobs, as well as roads, highways, bridges, and schools.
As Alan Krueger, Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, wrote today on the White House blog:
"The fact that declining federal spending continues to be a drag on economic growth is another reminder that now is not the time for Washington to impose self-inflicted wounds on the economy."
That message can't be repeated enough in the days and weeks to come.

• To deliver an understanding of chemistry in the context of biological, physical and earth sciences and its relevance to modern society
• To create a teaching environment in which students are encouraged to contribute to discussions, share their experiences and learn from experimental observations, in order to enrich their practical and theoretical understanding of chemistry in the wider context
• To encourage awareness of the benefits of an understanding of chemistry and to provide insights into the importance of chemistry in a fast-changing technological world
The content of the Edexcel IGCSE in chemistry is covered throughout Years 9-11 and examined through two written papers at the end of Year 11. The examinations test factual recall, understanding of experimental details, mathematical skills and the application of scientific ideas in real-world scenarios. There is no controlled assessment or coursework aspect to the IGCSE. The IGCSE is considered to be an excellent preparation for A-level studies. The AQA Chemistry A-level is studied, with final examinations at the end of Year 13.
The teaching of chemistry at The Queen's School is enhanced by our contributions to Science Club. Aimed at girls in Year 9, the club meets weekly to perform experiments, from 'Howling Jelly Babies' and 'Slime with a Twist' to 'Crunchie Foam' and 'Diet Coke and Mentos'.
The Science Club hosts whole-school events such as National Chemistry Week events in November, National Science Week events in March and we help out during special events in the library.
Girls also have access to an array of opportunities to experience chemistry beyond the classroom:
• The Salters' Festival of Chemistry at Manchester University is offered to girls in Years 8
• Year 9 students attend the Women's Enterprise Event at Catalyst in Widnes
• Sixth Form chemists are given the chance to compete in the RSC Young Analyst competition and trips to the Liverpool University Schools' Lab
• We also encourage girls to enter in the RSC Chemistry Olympiad at Sixth Form level

My two-week sojourn in the States comes to an end this afternoon. The time has flown by quickly since my arrival on May 5. Brad was already here when I arrived, having left five days earlier for some business meetings.
I should have been making daily blog posts since my arrival but I didn't (though I did manage to post a few pics on facebook). I filled my days with visits with family and friends, usually over lunch or dinner or drinks. Got my fill of some of my favorite foods (i.e. Maryland crab cakes, mexican food, thai food, chinese food, indian food). Visited with Brad's family in Ohio where we played many a game of Shanghai Rummy and a few rounds of Scrabble. Attended Worthington's first farmer's market of the season and walked amongst the butterflies at Franklin Park Conservatory. Had a great impromptu lunch with one sister and a lovely day of shopping at Annapolis Towne Centre with the other. Got to meet JoAnn's new kitty Desmond. Watched the extended season premiere of Mad Men and absolutely loved it. I simply cannot get the tune Zou Bisou Bisou out of my head…and I don't care, because I love the song! Went to see Dark Shadows. I am a huge Johnny Depp/Tim Burton fan so it was difficult not to disappoint with that outing. And, best of all, though I hate picking favorites, I got to meet my grand niece Morgan.
Suffering a bit from travel jitters this morning — surprisingly, as I am a seasoned traveller. But I'm finding travel to be more of a slog than ever these days. The journey sucks, but being there is usually well worth the effort.
I dropped my rental car off a bit before noon today. The plan was for JoAnn to pick me up at the rental car facility so we could go out for lunch and then she could drop me off at the hotel where I would meet Brad after he returned from his morning conference. After dropping the car off, I spent about five minutes searching for my sunglasses, during which time I noticed my credit card holder was missing from its usual place in my purse.
In a panic, I ran back to the rental car drop off point to see if I could retrieve my credit cards. Turns out I'd left my sweater in the car but no one had seen my credit card holder. The car had already been driven off by an employee to an upper level where the cars are washed before being rented out again. They sent an employee up to check for my credit card holder. He returned without it. My panic level rose a few notches. I distinctly remembered my purse falling over onto the passenger side floor and I was convinced the black leather card holder was there, camouflaged by the black flooring of the car.
The nice rental car man drove me up to the upper level so I could check the car myself. Turns out he checked inside the wrong car. He was looking in the black Ford Focus but I had driven the black Ford Fiesta. Ahh, I was sure I would recover my credit card holder. But no! It was not there on the floor of the car. I was stumped. I knew no one could have had a chance to get in the car and take it. And that's when it dawned on me. I had put the credit card holder in my back pocket when I filled the car up at the gas station. Sheepishly I admitted my mistake. The rental car guy was very nice about it all, as was JoAnn, who was waiting for me patiently in the parking lot.
Geez. I can really do without these last-minute panic attacks! So, I'm back in the hotel room now. Brad has returned from his conference and is packing up the last of his items. I'll have to sign off momentarily and we will be off again. Maybe the journey won't be so bad this time. I've got a great book to read (The Devil in the White City) and hubby will be by my side. Tel Aviv, here we come!

Unveiled at the recent Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Sony's forthcoming wand-shaped motion controller and the smaller subcontroller handle similarly to Nintendo's Wii Remote and Nunchuck. There are differences, of course: It's lighter. There are fewer buttons. The batteries are rechargeable. And there's that big glowing sphere on the end.
The biggest difference seems to be in the games — admittedly in the early stages of development — that were showcased for the PlayStation Move at several events during the conference. There's another level of interaction and kinetic fidelity with many of these titles because the system uses a PlayStation Eye camera and can make players part of the game.

Branches around the country have had their hand in commemorating merchant navy sailors killed at sea this week.
Significant delegations of members past and present attended respective Merchant Navy Day ceremonies in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory on Wednesday.
National Secretary Paddy Crumlin said it was important to remember the history of the union.
"On days like Merchant Navy Day we appreciate the sacrifices our forebears have made to ensure the union and more generally the maritime industry is in the position it is today and around the world," Crumlin said.
In the Northern Territory, Branch Secretary Thomas Mayor led the charge of 50 members mixed with navy servicemen, port stakeholders and port representatives.
"We need to remember the horrendous cost of war. We need to remember the efforts and sacrifice of our merchant seafarers," Mayor said.
"In remembering and educating others about those sacrifices and the strategic importance our members had to the war efforts as merchant seafarers; we highlight the importance of Australian shipping and skilled seafarers for our island nation.
"The attack on the employment of Australian seafarers by the current Liberal government is exposed for its stupidity here today."

About 50 medical researchers from around the country converged on Boston Wednesday, as they prepare to launch a massive seven-year study into the brain disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, in July.
CTE is a degenerative disease similar to Alzheimer's. It's only found in people who've played football, boxed or taken part in other contact sports.
The researchers are recruiting 180 former NFL and college football players in order to study their brains. The goal is to develop ways to diagnose CTE in people while they're alive. The only way to diagnose it right now is by studying the brain after death.
One of the lead researchers is Robert Stern, Ph.D. He's a Boston University School of Medicine professor of neurology and neurosurgery and director of clinical research at BU's Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center.
Helping Stern champion the research is Tim Fox, a 62-year-old former NFL safety who played for the Patriots, Chargers and Rams. He thinks he has CTE.
Fox and Stern spoke with WBUR's All Things Considered host Lisa Mullins about the disease. Stern says while much of the focus has been on concussions, CTE is caused by something that can seem more benign.

LOS ANGELES – Certain earthquake fault segments long thought to be stable may rupture and cause a mega-quake, suggests a new study that could have implications for California's mighty San Andreas.
That's what happened during the 2011 magnitude-9 quake in Japan that triggered a tsunami and during the 1999 magnitude-7.6 Chi Chi quake in Taiwan.
In both cases, scientists assumed that "creeping" sections of a fault would serve as a buffer and prevent the entire fault from unzipping. But a new study published online Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests this may not always be the case.
Combining computer modeling and fieldwork, researchers at the California Institute of Technology and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology found that creeping segments sometimes snapped, resulting in a bigger quake than anticipated.
This may provide insight to future quakes along the San Andreas Fault, which has a creeping section that separates the locked segments in Northern California and Southern California.
Scientists previously theorized that a wall-to-wall San Andreas quake may be possible, though that's still under debate.
Caltech geophysicist Nadia Lapusta told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/WQnva2 ) that the San Andreas may not necessarily behave exactly like what computer models predict.
"Hopefully the creeping segment is such that it doesn't have the propensity for weakness. But without examining further, you can't say," she said.
More research may include drilling into rocks surrounding the fault to collect samples and examining a fault close to the surface. Scientists previously said California faces an almost certain risk of being rocked by a strong earthquake – magnitude-6.7 or higher – by 2037. The odds of such an event are higher in Southern California than Northern California.
U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Kenneth Hudnut told the Times it was unlikely that a quake would race through the middle section of the San Andreas.
If a mega-quake occurred, it would place a burden on emergency responders, said Hudnut, who had no role in the research.

Hope This Will Be Our Walk
I pray that this will bless you as it blessed me.
Hello God,
I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a ! dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!
The man whispered, "God, speak to me"
and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear. So the man yelled,
"God, speak to me"
and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen. The man looked around and said,
"God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.
But the man did not see. And, the man shouted,
"God show me a miracle."
And, a life was born.
But, the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know you are here.
" Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away.
and walked on.
I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little
and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age ..
so I would like to add one more:
The man cried,
"God, I need your help!"
And an e-mail arrived reaching out
with good news and encouragement.
But, the man deleted it and continued crying ...
Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
Please pass this to people you want to be blessed.
Expect the unexpected.....
Have A Happy Day!
Send this to all your friends and family.
Anyone that you love and care about.
Let them know God is there for them always even
when everyone else has betrayed you and left you.
Friends are like stars....
You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there!

The Australian Diamonds have farewelled retiring Captain Clare McMeniman by retaining the Constellation Cup with a 49-45 win in Invercargill.
"To send Clare out as captain on this fine win tonight, because it was an honourable win as the Silver Ferns really brought it tonight, I am just terribly proud of all the girls," said Coach Lisa Alexander.
"They put in lots and lots of work and our support staff and bench were magnificent as well so it's very very pleasing."
With both teams opting to keep their same starting seven as the third Test, the Diamonds applied pressure from the opening whistle, causing a turnover from the first centre pass.
Gretel Tippett's first goal of the game half-way through the opening quarter was her signature lay-up, a move yet to be seen during the Constellation Cup series. The away team led by as many as six goals during the opening term, going into the first break with a 13-9 advantage.
The second quarter saw both teams capitalising on turnovers. Natalie Medhurst was called on into goal attack with five minutes remaining, just one minute after Maria Tutaia replaced Te Paea Selby-Rickit at goal attack for the Ferns. The Diamonds went into the main break leading 22-19.
"It was a great contest for all of us defensively. Madi and Gabi did an amazing job out the front," said outgoing Captain Clare McMeniman.
"There were passages where they were having to play the ball all the way back to their defensive transverse line to open up opportunities and I thought that pressure really enabled us to win more ball tonight and force more errors."
Alexander opted to return to her starting seven for the third term, whilst the Ferns remained unchanged. It was a physical tousle. The Diamonds outscored the Ferns 14 – 13, with three less attempts at goal and just one misfire.
Pressure was applied across the court from both teams.
"There were passages where the ball was coming up and back with no goals scored, which is testament to both teams and the pressure they were applying throughout the full match," McMeniman explained.
The pressure stepped up another notch into the final term, both sides finding an extra inch. Tutaia kept the Australian defenders on their toes with her shots from range, much to the delight of the Invercargill crowd.
With one minute on the clock, the Ferns, fought to within two goals. A pickup from McMeniman and some swift movements saw the Diamonds seal the victory with two late goals in the last 30 seconds.
The Diamonds will go their separate ways tomorrow, with pre-season training for the national netball league commencing in a matter of weeks.
