John Garcia
For many of you, the name John Garcia doesn't mean a whole lot. I get that. For some of us - people that have long loved the world of Stoner Rock and Metal, John Garcia is every bit the musical God that people like Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are in the world of "classic metal". With… Read More
I must be getting old, because recently, I've noticed my attitude softening toward the dreaded "nu-metal" bands of fifteen years ago. Maybe it's just nostalgia for what I now perceive (incorrectly, I'm sure) as a simpler time, but the burnout and disinterest I felt circa 2002, the year I quit seriously listening to mainstream rock radio has mellowed of late. Don't… Read More
More singers should try to have their wives killed if the resulting project to come from that nightmare sounds like Wovenwar. Holy shit is this project great! Being perfectly honest, I wasn't much of an As I Lay Dying fan, so hearing that the surviving members were forming a new project and carrying on with a new singer and new name… Read More
Holy shit! Who saw this coming? In an astonishing detour off the band's well-trampled musical path. Their latest album ventures into heretofore uncharted territories, embracing such unexpected sonic offshoots as Eastern-tinged black metal, polka-dotted folk-metal, and, in what is sure to be a harbinger of trends to come, Tuvan throat-singing.
Nah, just fuckin' with you to see if you… Read More
All the stars are aligned for me to be an absolute worshipper of Fozzy. And yet, I'm just not. It's not that I don't want to be. I'm a huge fan of the WWE, which is where Chris Jericho calls home professionally at least part of the time. To that fact, I'm a fan of Chris… Read More
Here's one for the stout of heart and strong of neck: New Orleans's Goatwhore have just barfed up their sixth album, and if you liked the last few releases, Constricting Rage of the Merciless is sure to appease your charred heart. If you haven't been following along, Goatwhore is sort of a supergroup, if having members of… Read More
Blues Pills
It's not a secret that this whole retro movement in the worlds of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal has been an absolutely God sent for my musical palette. For so many years now, probably 20 or more, the ONLY band I've had to hold onto when I wanted new music from a band who's influences were steeped into the… Read More
Retro has become in these days, and there are more and more bands creeping up that have harkened their sound back to a time that left well over 30 years ago. The last 2 years have seen an influx of bands reaching back to the '70s. Bands like Blues Pills, Vista Chino, Scorpion Child and Rival Sons have all emerged with… Read More
The Treatment
Admit it: you've just about given up on England when it comes to producing quality rock 'n' roll. The land that brought us the Beatles, the Stones, Zeppelin, and of course the revered NWOBHM--in the past twenty-five years, what have they given us? The Wildhearts? Come on. The Darkness? Come the fuck on!
The Treatment are a… Read More
Arch Enemy
The big story surrounding Arch Enemy's ninth studio album is that the band has done the impossible. They replaced their lead singer calmly, quietly, and without anybody knowing about it until it was already done—and somehow didn't miss a beat in the process. It's hard enough to replace a singer just once, but Arch Enemy has done it twice, and while… Read More
California Breed
It definitely sucks when you watch a band that you are REALLY a fan of implode. For me, that's just what I had to do with Black Country Communion. As the band that I think a lot of people compared head to head with Sammy Hagar's supergroup Chickenfoot, BCC stormed out quickly and recorded three tremendous releases. Still, as… Read More
One of the hardest things I'm tasked to do when reviewing bands is to look past the individual history of the members when a new project pops up. Many times, you really can't help but to think about a guy's past work in another band. That's especially true when the guy is the singer. MuckRaker is one of those bands for… Read More
Judas Priest
Judas Priest has a lot to atone for in the eyes of all fans except for Jim "Nostradamus" Bartek. Given the fact that Bartek's 524 day listening streak to NOSTRADAMUS probably doubled the count of the rest of the Priest fanbase combined, it's clear that the once Mighty Priest needed to do something very, very metal this time… Read More
Quiet Riot
I'm generally excited when Jizzy Pearl fronts any band. He's one of my favorite singers out there from the classic metal era; a distinct sounding guy who has proven to be a chameleon while maintaining a sound there is no mistaking. Jizzy joining Quiet Riot was a welcome thought to me, personally. While I've never been a huge Quiet Riot… Read More
Black Stone Cherry
Well, they finally did it. After nearly a decade of being hailed as the new kings of southern rock, and receiving favorable comparisons to Zeppelin and Skynyrd, western Kentucky's Black Stone Cherry have released an album that's worthy of all the praise.
I've always liked the IDEA of Black Stone Cherry. I mean, what's not to like about… Read More
American Dog
God bless American Dog! For fifteen years, a bunch of blue-collar working stiffs from Columbus, Ohio have been churning out their brand of greasy, grimy redneck metal, and doing it all themselves. You gotta respect a band with American Dog's tenacity, toiling away in obscurity while other, much lesser bands soak up the major-label success. Oh yeah, and the tunes… Read More
For so many people, they hear Gary Cherone's name and immediately think about the failed Van Halen album III that he fronted. I get it. How can you not? It was such an unbelievably bad effort, and really should never have had the Van Halen name on it at all. Unfortunately though, Cherone has always been the blamesake of that release,… Read More
I really have no idea why U.D.O. is not a much, much bigger band than they are. Without question, everyone is all too quick to celebrate Accept, both with and without vocalist Udo Dirkschneider in the band. And yet, for all the love fans have for Dirkschneider's era of Accept, U.D.O. has really remained an afterthought instead of… Read More
Ronny Munroe
One of the most disrespected singers in all of heavy metal, Ronny Munroe has more than ably fronted Metal Church for a decade now. Fronting Metal Church since 2004, the band has been a touch inconsistent (A LIGHT IN THE DARK and GENERATION NOTHING being great, WEIGHT OF THE WORLD and THIS PRESENT WASTELAND being a bit forgettable), but… Read More
I could write all kinds of stuff about how Vader are the icons of Polish Death Metal. I could put all kinds of praise on them, and talk about how they and Behemoth are the trendsetters that allowed people to understand that Poland had some death metal brilliance coming out of their country. I could talk for a long… Read More
Even as a fan of Tesla, it's not hard to look at the band and find them to be somewhat less than energetic when it comes to putting out new music. They've now come forth with just their 7th studio album of new material since 1986. Let's be honest here, folks...that's not a lot of material over a VERY LONG period… Read More
I really don't think that, of all the bands out there, Tankard could ever do anything I don't appreciate in some way or another. Let's face it, if ever there was a "Chris Akin" band, Tankard would be it. They make the kind of metal that is closest to my heart - Thrash with just a touch of melody to make it… Read More
Former BLACK SHEEP frontman Willie Basse has been forced to put his metal super group, COMMUNION - with singer Mark Boals (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TED NUGENT), drummer Bobby Rondinelli (RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH), guitarist Roy Z (JUDAS PRIEST, HALFORD, BRUCE DICKINSON) and keyboardist Ed Roth (Halford, GLENN HUGHES) - on hiatus as "the timing wasn't right."
However, in lieu of Communion, Basse has created THE GYPSY EXPERIENCE.
"Having recorded, toured and lived with BAND OF GYPSY's drummer, Buddy Miles (who I lovingly credit to giving me my first professional break in Hollywood) it is only right that I go in this direction," states Basse.
"So I recruited ERIC BURDON BAND drummer Alvin Taylor, who actually played with JIMI HENDRIX when they worked for LITTLE RICHARD.
BUDDY MILES and I discovered JP Cervoni (a real upside-down, left-handed guitarist) in Toronto.
With all the tie ins to Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles, this is more than just a tribute band! It is as the name appropriately states, an experience!"

Any news on Nan Song?
Repost from Eislauffan:
"Nan Song was taken to hospital and diagnosed with a concussion. He was to be released today (Sunday) and should rest for two weeks I heard this morning. I don't think we'll see him in Paris for Trophee Bompard."
Hope Song has a swift recovery.
Love the quad twist by P/Z at CoC
Cross posting my post from the CoC SONG Nan injury thread:
weibo posts on 11/3: "I cannot remember anything, what happened to me?" and "Can someone tell me what happened?"
Brief translation of Sina sports interview:
When interviewed in the hotel, SONG Nan said the injury was diagnosed as a concussion with temporary amnesia, but if the recovery goes well, he still wants to compete at TEB.
ISU CoC press center posted an announcement that SONG Nan stayed in the hospital overnight and was discharged on Sunday, he needs to rest for 14 days.
During the interview, SONG wore white chin/neck support, but was in good spirits. He said the neck is not injured, doctors did not say for how long he should wear the chin/neck support. No major problem diagnosed, only concussion. He became sober about 3am and totally could not remember how the accident happened. He kept asking the team doctor whether he competed and how did he finish. He later watched the video clip of collision, and the first area hit was probably the right chin. On the video he briefly talked to the medical staff, but he cannot remember it at all. Right now his teeth have some broken pieces which affect eating and talking.
The collision forced SONG Nan to withdraw from the competition, but he said he was able to accept it. "Maybe everyone was highly concentrated during the competition, and accidents happen." When asked whether he will stop training and competing in the next two weeks, he said: "Probably not, I think the doctor was conservative. If there is not much of a problem, I can try to remove the chin/neck support and adapt to training. There are competitions coming up, if recovery goes well I will participate in TEB. The pre-Olympic season is very important, but it has been a bumpy year for me. "
Finally, SONG Nan asked his fans not to worry, "currently my chin hurts a bit and the back of the head feels very heavy, but there should not be any problem."
Great picture of Song and Daisuke from the CoC banquet. This weibo post says Dai's coach Utako Nagamitsu won a Samsung galaxy phone at the raffle, she and Dai decided to give it to Song and wished him speedy recovery. Dai also said he hopes to see Song at 4CC.

Good that Adam was provided with a public forum in which to apologize to Song for the unfortunate collision. Surely he also spoke to Song privately as well. I wouldn't give up my lucky win of an iPad either -- it wouldn't help Song recover any faster.
Thanks jjane45 for the link to that great photo of Dai and Nan -- two handsome guys and wonderful skaters!
So relieved Nan is on his feet with good spirit! Love those reports, thanks for posting them!
Thanks all for the updates and reports. I hope Song takes it slow and does not rush back to the ice. I've had an experience similar to what he's describing and that was not fun. Balance can be tricky for a few days, even for things like going down the stairs, so I can only imagine how tough it would be to skate.
Speeky recovery Song!
Thanks for the info about Song Nan, jjane45!
That poor boy really has some bad luck! Wishing Song a speedy recovery.
Very emotional article on ZHANG Hao's transition to the new partnership and his condition. Anyone interested in translating the highlights?

Genital Herpes Symptoms
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Genital herpes is a common condition affecting around 45 million people in the U.S. The herpes viruses responsible for genital herpes (herpes simplex virus type 2, or HSV-2; and, less commonly, herpes simplex virus type 1 or HSV-1) are transmitted through close personal contact such as sexual contact.
The symptoms of genital herpes vary among people. Most people infected with HSV have no symptoms or have only mild symptoms, but some develop severe symptoms. When symptoms do occur, the infected person usually develops one or more painful blisters in the anal or genital areas that eventually ulcerate and heal over a period of a few weeks.
When a person is first infected with the herpes virus, if symptoms occur, these usually develop within the first two weeks after infection. These symptoms of an initial infection can include:
- Fever and flu-like symptoms
- Genital itching, burning, or discomfort
- Vaginal discharge in women
- Swollen lymph nodes
- A feeling of pressure in the abdomen

text: Hey guys, looking for some educating. I've been reading some articles lately about setting XO's for subs when you have big tower mains. Basically I'm seeing that settings should be around 80ish hz for towers, use the 'small' setting and let the sub handle the rest. It also advised against the double bass setting which I can understand. The thing that bugs me is since I'd have the XO set to 80hz, what is the point to the woofers in my 12's from then on?? Do they still do anything in the higher ranges? Do they help the sound at all now? Is it pointless to have towers and a sub??

Dawn of Civilization
End of Days
The End of Days CAN be avoided. Mainly it depends on how active everyoen is. If the majority of the races are relatively peaceful and plenty of immortals still have their presence felt, the End of Days will not come as war, but instead the Omniscent will decide to test the immortals and see if they will work together to save the world from a great threat, which can be anything. If they succeed the world is safe and the Omniscent chooses to move on and begin a new world. If they fail then the world is destroyed, the immortals defeated by the threat, and the Omniscent will start over.
The Player's stats
The players, which its best to have at least 4 and could play with as many as 10 players, have total freedom with how their immortal looks, acts, etc. The profile for an immortal has only 5 numerical stats: Divine Rank (DR), Power, Presence, Potence, and Perception. Divine Rank is similar to what a level would be in most games. It increases by 1 every week (So by the end of the World's Creation all immortals that started already should reach Rank 2). It can also be increased by spending a good portion of the divine power to gain a rank. This is really only possible early on as it requires more divine power later on. At DR 4 and every 4 DR's after all stats increase by 1. Every time an immortal gains a rank they also gain two growth points to spend on their stats.
The other 4 stats, Power, Potence, Presence, and Perception are mostly to gauge how powerful an immortal is in one stat compared to other immortals. All immortals with a DR of 1 start with 1 point in all four stats and have 4 growth points to place in any of the stats. The maximum of any stat is 99, which obviously is very unlikely any immortal will ever reach a 99 in any stat. There are no "average" stats, as its more about "how high is my stat compared to everyone else". If all the immortals try putting a lot of their growth points into Power, than all of them are greatly more powerful than any mortal being, but compared to each other they are of similar strength. If one immortal decides instead to place all his/her stats in Potence, then while he/she isn't as powerful as the other immortals, he/she is greatly more potent than any of them.
Power is simple, it is the raw strength, not just physically, but mentally and "magical" (an immortal can call it magic, psionics, or whatever they feel like, that's not what's important) as well. It's the blunt force of their abilities. Forcing the land to rise up suddenly in a jagged mountain range is easy with power. Crafting a single natural formation of beauty and power is not.
Potence determines the "to-what-extent" an immortal can perform certain actions. A high potence allows for a larger possible amount of change. In other words, an immortal can "make more" of something for the same amount of divine motes that a less potent immortal used for making only some of something. Immortal A has Potence 2 and the Omniscent determine they can cover a region about the size of Nevada with forest for 2 motes of power. Immortal B has a Potence of 4 and the Omniscent decides that for two motes Immortal B could cover an are the size of Texas with forest.
Presence will make an immortal's simple existance allow them to do things without spending much divine power. Immortals with high presence can easilly affect mortals emotions and eventually physically change them simply by them being near the immortal. Presence will also determine how ackknowledged an immortal is by races outside their own. While all races will acknoledge the immortals another race worships, unless that immortal is part of their pantheon of worship they will not give much thought to them.
Perception has meaning beyond the 5 senses. Immortals with a Perception of 1 can hear, see, smell, tase, and feel better than any mortal, but that's it. Higher presence allows enhanced senses, using senses at a distance, and eventually alternate sense, like percieving alternate forms of energy and even seeing the past and future. Immortals DO NOT know everything that is going on everywhere all the time. Even among their creations they can miss things. The GM determines to what extent an immortal's perception would allow them to know things in game.
Turns and points
The amount of points that will be spent are based on what the immortal wants to accomplish and what their stats are. The GM should always take into account that high stats makes changing the world cheaper. Also when the second stage begins, the cost for creating a race increases the more powerful an immortal makes them. A generic race of humanoids that would one day become the base humans of the world will be very cheap, requiring only a few motes of power. Small advantages as well as balancing a race by giving it weaknesses to compensate for strengths can help keep the cost low.
Immortal Profile
Concept: (What are your immortal's goals, hopes, fears? Is there a theme for your immortal? How will your immortal be worshipped?)
Personality: (Likes, dislikes; Emotions; How does your immortal act/think/speak?)
Appearance: (How does you immortal appear to other immortals? To mortal beings? Any disguises?)
Divine Rank: 1 (All immortals start with DR 1)
(all four stats start at 1, and at DR 1 have 4 growth points to place however you want)
Symbolic: (Symbols for your immortal? Ideas: Favoured weapons, Iconic Image, Favoured animal/plant/element)
This thread is for posting interest, characters, and conversation about how the game will work.

|Lillian Waltonen, 98
|Written by TRF Times
Greenbush - Lillian Waltonen, 98, formerly of Middle River, died Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012 at LifeCare Medical Center in Roseau.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Oct. 20 at First Lutheran Church, Middle River, with Rev. Rena Peterson officiating. Interment will take place at a later date at the Finnish Cemetery, rural Middle River.
Lillian Matilda Halme Waltonen was born in Automba, on Feb. 7, 1914, the daughter of Victor Frank and Hilja Matilda (Kahra) Halme. Her parents emigrated to the United States from Finland in the late 1800s and settled in Minnesota. In Lillian's own words, she was born "In a tar paper, one room rough cabin at Automba, Minn., on a very cold winter's night. It was 40 below and snowing. The doctor came from Moose Lake, Minn., by horse and sleigh."
Lillian's first communion took place when she was confirmed as an adult in the 1940s by Pastor C.O. Hanson at the Finnish Lutheran Church in Middle River. She credits her Grandma with teaching her the first prayer she remembers in Finnish. Lillian believed that the best form of spiritual exercise is to touch the floor regularly on your knees.
Besides learning to work hard and helping with chores, for Lillian a typical summer day growing up meant swinging with the neighbor kids and talking about growing up. In the winter, she spent her time going to school, skiing and sliding down hills. Springtime found Lillian and the other school children playing ball, boys against girls and the boys would always win. According to Lillian, "The boys cheated!" Her favorite games were hide-and-seek and tag, and when the first snow came, they were all busy making a fox and goose ring in school.
She started school in a one room school house in Automba where she didn't speak English, only Finnish. She quickly learned English and was able to translate for her father who owned a lumber business. Her freshman year of school was spent in Alborn.
Lillian's first boyfriend was her future husband, Wesley Waltonen. They had one date and from then on it was just the two of them. They went together for five years before they were married.
Lillian was united in marriage to Wesley on Oct. 29, 1938 at her parent's home in Middle River. Later, Lillian and Wesley proudly took over their home and made it their own. They were blessed with their daughter, Lorrie. Their family worked and farmed there their entire lives. Lillian said, "I never had a job, but I always worked at home. I guess I was needed at home." She tirelessly worked alongside her husband on their farm.
Lillian was a member of First Lutheran Church in Middle River. She was actively involved in Ladies Aid, the Quilting Group, and taught Sunday School. Lillian enjoyed cooking, baking and entertaining. Her favorite thing was serving people. She always had afternoon coffee and lunch waiting for anyone. Lillian was an excellent seamstress, sewing all of Lorrie's pretty dresses. At her home, she loved tending to her flower gardens, the lawn and all of the animals on the farm.
When speaking of her faith, Lillian said, "My faith is seeing a sunrise or sunset and knowing whom to thank. How great He is."
Lillian treasured her friends. She said, "My best friends are my family, I love you all dearly."
Lillian is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Lorrie and Randy Rose of Middle River; grandson, Justan (Katie) Rose of Zumbrota; great-granddaughter, Sydney Lillian Rose; special daughter, Susan (Bernie) McKigney of Moorhead, MN, as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Preceding Lillian in death is her husband, Wesley and brothers, Frank and William.

I give Kim credit for coming back this year too so that she can earn spots for other Korean skaters for the Olympics. If she can place in the top 2 than two other Korean girls (if they get the TES requirements) can be in Sochi.

You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
I don't know how much her costume helped but her arms have never been better. Also, tough to tell watching video but her first lutz in the 3/3 combo looked higher than I remember it. Program is not overly ambitious choreographically but it won't need to be for her to have a real shot at winning in London. Nicely done.
Can't say she's lost much starpower in Korea either
Bravo Yuna! Love the spiral and spin positions. Looking forward to seeing this live at Worlds!
Congrats to Yu Na! It seems that her muscles have not lost any memory whatsoever.
To me, the choreography/costume for the LP are bland and she is capable of much better, but I don't think she needs to do anything spectacular to win in London. I love her SP costume though. Hopefully she and her team come up with two incredible and risky programs next year, as she really doesn't have much to lose.
My Korean is pretty bad, but I think in this interview she says that she lost her mind a little bit at the end and did the spin combo from her SP instead of LP at the end.
Excited for Worlds!
YuNa's program was great and she certainly doesn't look like she's missed a day off the ice. Her jumps still floor me; they're so light and seemingly effortless. And yet, her layback spin still makes me cringe. I'm also not sold on the LP choreo yet. She reminds me of Mirai at times in that she's playing for the audience one moment and the next she's pretending she's the only one there. It still needs work before Worlds but she's certainly thrown down the gauntlet. Ladies will be fun to watch.
Technically that was a great program. She did not miss a beat with those elements and her jump technique is outstanding. However choreographically it was rather juniorish and all at one level although some moments worked with the phrasing of the music. Maybe that could be because the program is still being worked in. Although for a skater at that level, whilst it is all very well to say that the choreographer hasn't done a good job, the skater has to invest something of themselves into the performance.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
I don't think Yu-Na will ever have the "pow" to her performance that Kwan had. This is what held me back over the years from getting into her skating, and while beautiful in Vancouver she still left me feeling flat. Since she won the Olympics though, I feel that there is more life in her performances and she's more elegant and sensitive to the music now. She's able to let herself go in the performance now and I love her footwork sequence, it really shows off how much she's improved in projecting and I also find her skating to be much less stiff. She's also grown up and skates with the maturity of a woman now, and she's commanding the audience more when she skates. I've been converted. I also love the SP, some actual voids in a sea of mcdonalds hamburger programs.
this is the best video, different camera angles of her jumps, with high quality and no commentary
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I find her SP more interesting than her LP. This time around she seemed fulled invested emotionally in the SP whereas her LP still seems flat. You can tell she was thinking through it. However, I think the performance aspect in Seoul was better than it was in Dortmund. Her jumps are still breathtaking. She hasn't missed a beat technically speaking (with the exceptions of her spins...they could use a little work, especially the layback). I'm glad she's back. I think she will push the other top ladies in terms of technical content and I think they will push her as well, especially when it comes things like choreography and performance.
"If people are looking for guarantees, they should buy appliances at Sears and stay away from human relationships."~Prancer
I have always had a theory that "Someone like you" feels like Wilson's good bye love song to Yuna while paying tribute to their working history/friendship over the years on the assumption Yuna will retire soon, and that would be the end of their competitive days. It is full of forlorn feelings that is intimate, familiar, complex and as intense as lovers goodbyes. His choreography for that program feels like a collage of many of his 'best of' moves to celebrate and paying tribute to their collaborative days. Many moves subsequently came to be known as Wilson-esque signatures that became the de facto choreography vocabulary of the COP era. In that respect, it may feel generic by today's standards due to its familiarity, but they are also what established Wilson's brand. Their contribution towards each other's success cannot be understated. Yuna's sporting and artistic success validates Wilson's COP work, and also vice versa.
Bear in mind, 'generic' moves doesn't always start as 'generic' until someone first establish them. Others follow them. Or them being replicated due to established success. There's a fine line between something described as generic when it is an 'imitation' vs something that is 'classic' when it is being performed by the original team that founded them. Otherwise it is like going to a Prada shop and complain why everything black and boring. Or go to a James Cameron movie and complain there's too much special effects and why the love stories always so cheesy?
I'd argue the middle section 'on my own' does contains certain archetype Wilson/Yuna choreography, but actually it fit the messages of the music well. 'On my Own' is Eponine's internal dialogue about feelings and contemplation about love, hope, loss, regrets, lingers of sweet bitterness; to learn the meaning/value of true love and acceptance of selflessness. The choreography therefore should be without pretension or fuss and at its most intimate natural state; heartfelt and honest. Choreographically, to harness that visceral fortitude Wilson became familiar with Yuna over their years together, he naturally select their classic moves which embodies these biographical qualities that fit the story the best, something he tends to do with his skaters. Perhaps this is why that part reminded programs like "Someone like you" which shares similar biographical qualities. This is not to say the work could not be more original or creative, but it does explain why such an approach has been adapted rather than blame it entirely on complacency.
Yuna's SP and LP tends to directly contrasts every season like Fire and Ice since her El Tango and Lark Ascending days. Just like your appreciation for 'Kiss of the Vampire' program because of its originality, dark sensuality, and risk taking that explored something new and unfamiliar and not yet seen in ladies figure skating. It is also understandable why you'd appreciate the LP less because of its opposite approach. The SP tackles what deemed low art (B-rated Vintage Horror) and reconstructed into a new format to compete with the likes of high art (many classical works written for dance, opera and ballet for example) of which the figure skating worlds tends to celebrate and being more receptive to. It requires far more dramatic, boldness and commitment to stage expressions (just like B movies) to challenge and winning over people's perception and unfamiliarity to make the program work. Balance of subtlety, brashness, nuances, attack, raw emotions, extremism to convey transcension of emotions from human, rebirth to the supernatural while still having enough empathy yet detachment to the plight of the character during the 2 mins 50 sec.
In contrast, Les Miserable took a more traditional approach to musical deconstruction and being more faithful acknowledging the source material. The program is structured almost like an 'Homage to Les Miserable' in in the 4 parts music edit. It fit with a more 'classic' Wilson choreography that acknowledges the tradition of music theater describing the 4 part music. It does so through the costume design, the intros opening and closing music edits like curtain rise and curtain close etc.. It offers a more conservative and faithful approach than the Vampire SP. This is not avant garde art, but paying homage to a much loved classic work.
As a die hard Les Mis fan (I have seen the musical more than 6/7 times at London west end over a decade at both the Palace Theater and the Queen's Theatre - Yes that really is the name of the theater where the musical currently plays ) I really like how they deconstructed the music. It avoided being too abstract or too literal while still keeps the musical fresh yet somewhat familiar. It is a delicate balance and a huge undertaking to trim down a 3 hour 52 songs musical into a 4 minute extravaganza designed for skating while still encompass the epic themes of Les Mis without being too literal. There might have been many intimate portrayal of characters and themes from Les Miserable in the past, but surely none as ambitious or grand as this one?
Given the poor ice conditions and the -4 sub zero temperature environment reported from yesterday, I consider today's performance well executed, superbly controlled and technically brilliant. I was enormously impressed, moved and even stunned at this new personal milestone for Yuna Kim consider she rarely does clean LPs. Artistically she is already head and shoulder above other ladies. With better environment condition and occasion at WC, Yuna can be even more inspired and to bring us an full on emotional epic I know she is capable of. She is already at the top of her game, but at her best, like all greats, she is capable of showcase something beyond the sport - like the height of human potentials, which poignantly is also what Les Miserable about among many other wonderful things.
(blimey.. this post is a bit long. I guess that is what being inspired can do to someone ) ac

On my own is only sang by a secondary lead on stage. What other actresses? Insulted? That's a bit extreme. Want a mini death and revolution? Why not throw in a prison sentence and steal a loaf a bread as well? Sound like you are more about nitpicking than anything else. If you read my post, you'd know this is not a mini-retelling of Les Mis at all... sigh!
Not knowing what to do with your arms can be a conditioning thing, too. I noticed that in her sp, her first four elements are all the elements with flight. I can't recall the last time she did that. In the past few years, she's always done her jump combo and solo triple as her first and second elements, but usually she mixed up the rest of the program. This time, it's all in the front. So I'm guessing there are some conditioning issues. If she were a tennis player, the key phrase would be "match tested."

Awesome Yu-Na! So glad she's back!
As I've said before, I haven't seen this type of calibre of performer since Oksana Baiul, and as far as Ladies Olympic Gold Medalist go throughout history, I'd put Yuna #2 (behind Sonja of course). She has it A-L-L; jumps, beauty, body, artistry, speed, and on & on & on ad infinitum. She's the epitome of what the standard should be, let alone an Olympic Gold Medalist; she combines both technical precision with exquisite presentation. Something that looks so easy put on paper, but a whole other ballgame when it comes to laying it down. Because usually you have either or, but not *both*, that is so rare to have both, truly.
Ah, enough words, let me just say I feel so blessed to be alive to see this. After so many decades of watching figure skating, to finally get one that comes the closest to Sonja, and Oksana.
I'll be cheering her on to win another World Gold, but more importantly to win another Olympic Gold Medal, which she should easily do when she skates like she just did. She alone is the only one that controls her own destiny. Because when she skates clean she should easily win, and rightfully so, whereas all the other women in the world do not, they have to rely on Yuna making a mistake to even come close. Period.

Happy (day after) Pride!
Dozens of staff, chapter leaders, student leaders, friends and even a few of our youngest supporters joined GLSEN's contingent yesterday at the New York City Pride March. We proudly chanted for safer and more affirming schools as we walked down 5th Avenue and Christopher Street with our partners It Gets Better, The Point Foundation and Wells Fargo. Thanks to all who cheered us on. Check out the slideshow to see just how fun and inspiring the trek through the heart of NYC can be.
Later this week, I will again have the privilege of traveling with GLSEN student leaders to Washington D.C. for our annual Safe Schools Advocacy Summit (SSAS). At SSAS, students learn about the legislative process, current legislative initiatives and participate in a variety of team building exercises and leadership workshops.
But most importantly, they have the opportunity to meet with elected officials and discuss the vital need for strong safe schools legislation — like the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA).
Join me and support these brave students today!
I have seen firsthand the powerful difference these meetings can make — how a student's story can move a vote from the no column to the yes. Here is what I witnessed in the office of Representative Don Young (R-AK).
In 2008, I accompanied Tonei Glavinic, a student from Anchorage, Alaska, to a meeting with Rep. Young, a conservative Congressman from a conservative state. Tonei talked about what school was like, about being bullied and how most students are not fortunate enough to attend a school where LGBT youth are accepted. Tonei spoke with such intensity and conviction that you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Tonei then asked Rep. Young for his vote on SSIA. Young took a long pause, leaned back in his chair (he would later tell us he was thinking back to when he was bullied in school) and then spoke a resounding Yes! And to this day, Rep. Young remains a proud Republican co-sponsor of SSIA.
It is because of the support of donors to GLSEN that stories like Tonei's are even possible.
The time I spent with Tonei that day reaffirmed my belief that students can — and do — create powerful change in their own lives if given the opportunity.
With your support today, we can continue to give students the chance to make that impact and make schools safer and more secure for all students.
>The Ventura County District Attorney's Office has decided to retry Brandon McInerney for the murder of 15-year-old Lawrence "Larry" King at E.O. Green Junior High in 2008. McInterney was 14 when he killed his classmate because of Larry's sexual orientation and gender expression.
The first trial against McInerney ended in a mistrial when the jury couldn't agree on whether to convict Brandon of manslaughter, second-degree murder or first-degree murder. The defense does not dispute that Brandon pulled the trigger.
The Los Angeles Times quoted GLSEN Executive Director this morning in a story written before the retrial decision was announced.
GLSEN had hoped to the two sides could agree on a plea deal to avoid another painful trial.
Changing the Game: The GLSEN Sports Project is an education and advocacy initiative focused on addressing LGBT issues in K-12 school-based athletic and physical education programs. The GLSEN Sport Project's mission is to assist K-12 schools in creating and maintaining an athletic and physical education climate that is based on the core principles of respect, safety and equal access for all students, teachers and coaches regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression and integrating these efforts into overall school plans to ensure a safe, respectful school climate and culture. With your help, we are making team sports and locker rooms safer places for students.
We are extremely grateful to Changing the Game Advisory Group members Hudson Taylor and Wade Davis for sharing their personal stories at the event. We would also like to thank Cliff Richner for opening his beautiful home to all of us, and to all of the GLSEN volunteer leadership who lent their insight and time to pulling off this amazing event.

I've just spent the day in DC with GLSEN staff, country music singer and author Chely Wright and a terrific delegation that will have more than *90* meetings on the Hill tomorrow to tell their stories and garner support for critical legislative progress in the form of the Safe Schools Improvement Act and Student Non-Discrimination Act.
As has become an annual tradition, Mara Keisling, founding Exective Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (hugging Eliza in photo), addressed the group at dinner, bringing humorous perspective to the work ahead. (For those who have never heard Mara speak, ask someone to tell you the "chifferobe story." Classic legislative lobbying humor.) By the end of a long day of training, the delegation is well-prepared and generally needs a little laughter to help them remember that their most important task - to speak honestly from their own experience - is well within their grasp.
Our work is to bring individuals with stories to tell into contact with the people who need to hear them, and to prepare those folks to make the most of the moment. And with a delegation trained and a record number of meetings secured - most with key committee members - I'm very proud of the work that the team has done and of the remarkable people who have chosen to work with us this year.
Dear GLSEN Friends,
This morning I am headed to the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention with a remarkable GLSEN delegation and alongside allies and friends from around the country.
Last night our delegation had dinner with Joel Burns, City Councilman from Fort Worth, Texas, whose story, shared at a City Council meeting and in an It Gets Better video, has now reached three million people worldwide. Today we will see representatives of all of our most important organizational allies at the White House - the unions, the professional associations, organizations advocating for all of the communities so deeply affected by bullying.
We have all been summoned to discuss how best to respond to the public health crisis of bullying. GLSEN's job, and that of our allies and friends, is to ensure that the coordinated response that emerges truly helps all those who suffer because of anti-LGBT bias and behavior in our schools. We want to be sure that the anti-bullying "moment" of the past nine months results in action that benefits all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity or gender expression.
I hope to be able to send updates out at some points during the day from my Twitter account and GLSEN's, and will report back to you all afterwards. For the moment, thank you for all of the hard work and critical support that brought GLSEN to the gates of the White House this morning.
Warmest regards,
Eliza Byard,
GLSEN Executive Director

The Rev. Peter Gomes, an openly gay American Baptist minister and theologian at Harvard University's Divinity School, passed away Monday at the age of 68. Gomes, whom GLSEN honored as a Black History Month hero last month, was a strong advocate for wider acceptance of LGBT people in America.
Said GLSEN Executive Director Eliza Byard, who met Rev. Gomes while working on the award-winning documentary Out of the Past, which Dr. Byard co-produced:
"I am deeply saddened to hear of Reverend Gomes' passing. Reverend Gomes is featured in Out of the Past, discussing Michael Wigglesworth, a 17th century minister, author and Harvard professor whose Day of Doom was a bestseller of the time. Reverend Gomes brought his trademark mix of thoughtful gravitas and wry humor to the interview, and his dramatic reading of selections from the Day of Doom has always been one of my favorite parts of the film. I was also privileged to hear him preach on several occasions.
"His death is a loss for all of us who value respect and have an appreciation for difference."

>When I got the news this morning, I wasn't sure if I was still dreaming: it appears that GLSEN has finished in second place in the Pepsi Refresh voting, winning $250,000 in support of our Safe Space Campaign. The official announcement of the results won't take place until Feb. 23, but it looks as if we've done it.
Whatever the final results, I feel like GLSEN has already received something priceless – the outpouring of support from individuals and organizations standing with us in the last few days of the contest, generating a flood of votes that put us over the top. Our friends at The Progressive Slate, the coalition we joined as the voting started, were amazed by the GLSEN groundswell in the final days. It is really humbling, and my colleagues and I are so grateful.
This funding is going to a truly critical effort to make schools more welcoming places for LGBT students and any student dealing with anti-LGBT bias. The Safe Space Kits at the heart of our campaign make it possible for school staff to be visible as a source of support by putting up a Safe Space sticker or poster, and active as an agent of change by reaching out to their colleagues to discuss how the school community can come together to be truly safe and supportive for all students. Research has consistently demonstrated that supportive adults in a school community are crucial for a student's well-being and success, and this funding will help promote adult support for LGBT students in 10,000 schools across the country.
I have to thank a lot of people and organizations in particular for their help: Chely Wright, spokesperson for the campaign and GLSEN's great friend; Scott Zumwalt, Brian Pines, Thomas Gensemer and all our friends at It Gets Better; Gregory Lewis at True Colors Fund/Give a Damn Campaign, and Cyndi Lauper for her individual support as well; Cathy Nelson and Lindsey Twombly at HRC for getting the word out far and wide; The Trevor Project; American Foundation for Suicide Prevention; the ACLU LGBT & AIDS Project; GLAAD; America's Promise Alliance; the Ad Council; Anti-Violence Project; Joe Wilson and Out in the Silence; Eva Kolodner and the staff of the IRC; Eidolon Communications; Andrew Oldershaw and Fifteen Minutes; Fab.com; Hilary Duff; Perez Hilton; Kristin Chenoweth; Wilson Cruz; Jeri Ryan; Ben Cohen; Krisily Kennedy; Sara Rue; Del Shores; Larry Flick from Sirius Out Q The Morning Jolt; John Aravosis and Joe Sudbay at Americablog and Americablog Gay; Joe Jervis from Joe.My.God; DiversityInc; The Advocate; Out Magazine; Employee Resource Groups at all of our corporate partners but in particular FOX and Sodexo; our volunteer leadership bodies; GLSEN Chapters and student leaders; and Pepsi for the opportunity. And, of course, all of the thousands of individuals who actually turned out to vote and shared and tweeted with all their friends. I cannot thank you all – and all of the people and organizations I'm forgetting – enough.
>GLSEN Board Member Sirdeaner Walker delivered the keynote speech today at a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration at Wal-Mart headquarters in Arkansas. The following is Sirdeaner's speech about her family's story, Dr. King's legacy and the need to do more to make our schools safer for all.
Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to be a part of this event today as we honor one of our American heroes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And thank you to Mike Duke and the Wal-Mart Associate Resource Groups for organizing this event.
My name is Sirdeaner Lynn Walker, and I am here to speak with you about the need for action on bias-based bullying and harassment in our schools.
I must start by saying that I am not a polished professional speaker, but a mom sharing my tragic story. I have been proud to speak often on this subject, but today, as we reflect on the legacy Dr. King left to us, I am especially sad that we haven't fully learned the lessons of justice and equality that he taught us. I try to remind myself, as Dr. King said, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.
I hope you will open your hearts to hear my story and my son Carl's.
Two years ago, I was an ordinary working mom, looking after my family and doing the best I could.
But my life changed forever on April 6, 2009.
That was the night I was cooking dinner when my son, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, went to his room where I imagined he'd be doing his homework or playing his videogames. Instead, I found him hanging by an extension cord tied around his neck.
He was 11 years old.
Carl liked football and basketball and playing video games with his little brother. He loved the Lord and he loved his family.
What could make a child his age despair so much that he would take his own life?
That question haunts me to this day, and I will probably never know the answer.
What we do know is that Carl was being bullied relentlessly at school. He had just started middle school in September, and we had high hopes, but I knew something was wrong, almost from the start.
He didn't want to tell me what was bothering him, but I kept at him, and he finally told me that kids at school were pushing him around, calling him names, saying he acted "gay," and calling him "faggot."
Hearing that, my heart just broke for him. And I was furious.
So I called the school right away and told them about the situation. I expected they would be just as upset as I was, but instead, they told me it was just ordinary social interaction that would work itself out.
I desperately wish they had been right.
I did everything that a parent is supposed to: I chose a "good" school; I joined the parent-teacher organization; I went to every parent-teacher conference; I called the school on a regular basis to bring the bullying problem to the staff's attention.
But the school did not act. The teachers did not know how to respond.
After Carl died, I was devastated. More than anything, I wanted to do something to make sure his death hadn't been in vain, but I didn't know where to start … and I wasn't sure that anyone really cared.
So I can't tell you what it meant to me, when only days after Carl died, I received a letter from Eliza Byard and GLSEN, which stands for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
It was the first letter I'd received. I have to admit, I was a little confused. My son Carl didn't identify as gay or straight. He was still a child. But it was such a comfort to hear that I was not alone.
It was the start of a personal journey I never imagined I'd take.
Over the past two years I have learned so much and GLSEN has shown me ways that I can truly make a difference.
I have learned that the taunts that my son faced are a daily part of life for too many students – more than four out of five lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students report experiencing verbal harassment at school because of their sexual orientation. At least a third reported facing physical violence.
Students who experience this kind of bias and violence are more likely to have lower grades, more likely to skip school, and less likely to plan to graduate and go on to college than students who do not face the same discrimination.
And as I learned more about the problem, I've also learned about the solutions.
Bullying is not an inevitable part of growing up. It can be prevented.
Educators need additional support and clear guidance about how to ensure that all kids feel safe in school.
That is why I have chosen to advocate for the Safe Schools Improvement Act – federal legislation that would make effective anti-bullying policies mandatory in nearly every school in the United States.
And when I say effective, I mean policies that have been shown to correlate with reduced victimization and a greater sense of safety and belonging for ALL students–anti-bullying policies that include enumerated categories of protection, such as race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and any other distinguishing characteristic.
If you don't name the problem, schools don't act—especially, if they are afraid of the controversy that can surround particular issues, like sexual orientation.
The Safe Schools Improvement Act currently has bipartisan support with 130 cosponsors in the House and 13 cosponsors in the Senate. The Act is supported by the National Safe Schools Partnership, a GLSEN-led coalition of more than 70 national organizations, including:
The National Association of School Psychologists
The American Federation of Teachers
The National Council of La Raza
Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America
I know that the only way to end this destructive bullying is to find common ground, and passing comprehensive federal legislation will offer a significant step forward in reaching that objective.
In the 1950s when the federal courts ordered schools to desegregate, African American students were subjected to bullying that today shocks most of us. Elizabeth Eckford, one of the nine students who integrated Little Rock Central High School talked about the crowd of adults who greeted them on their first day,
"They moved closer and closer ... Somebody started yelling ... I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd—someone who maybe could help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me."
What used to be considered acceptable behavior in parts in the United States is now considered detestable to all but the most racist among us. And yet, it continues to be difficult for our society to understand the damage that is being done today when we accept bullying in our schools.
We can't know how Dr. King would have reacted to this situation where the bullying of children over their real or perceived sexual orientation has come to such tragic consequences. But we do know that Dr. King was concerned with justice and equality. We know that he changed our perception that if you're "different" the majority of people can treat you differently. We know that he believed we are connected to each other.
He said, "Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality."
I like to think that Dr. King would have been a leader in the fight against bullying because he understood how important education was – for the oppressor as well as the oppressed. I imagine he would have counseled the kids tormented at school as he once encouraged African Americans, to assert their dignity and worth. In his It Gets Better video, he might have drawn on his earlier call to "stand up amidst a system that oppresses you and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of values."
Early in Dr. King's career, his main advisor and mentor was Bayard Rustin, a civil rights activist who had studied the teachings of Gandhi. Rustin was openly gay and that fact led many of Dr. King's advisors to demand that he distance himself from Rustin.
Some of my closest and dearest friends and family members protested that I should not align myself with a "gay" organization. So you see, even we adults have not yet learned that sexual orientation is not cause for alarm or fear, or even hate.
If we had learned this – if we had embraced Dr. King's hope that we would judge people by the content of their character above all else – our children wouldn't suffer with homophobic taunts. They would not be treated badly, and they wouldn't be ashamed to be different from the majority. And we would co-exist without the need to pull others down, threaten them, or drive them to despair.
My partnership with GLSEN has helped me see that this issue is about what kind of learning environments we want for our children and how far we're willing to go to protect and teach them.
In the words of Chief Justice Earl Warren, "it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education."
My son was denied a lifetime of opportunities.
Dr. King was able to persevere because, as he said, he had faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. And I hope that's true for those of us who have lost our children.
But I feel that Dr. King's call for change applies to this issue, today. "Now…is not the time to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism."
So I will continue my work to build awareness of this critical issue. I will also continue to be an involved parent in my children's education—I must not fail my children or anyone else's child.
And I will continue to advocate for the Safe Schools Improvement Act, to provide schools and educators with the tools and resources that they need to more effectively intervene.
So in closing, I thank you once again for the honor of this opportunity. I ask each of you to think of others as equals so that we come closer to Dr. King's dream of a country where we all live together in brotherhood, and to please do everything in your power to help us to put a stop to school bullying.

|Robert Hayes, 77
|Written by TRF Times
Alexandria - Funeral services for Robert (Bob) E. Hayes, 77, formerly of Thief River Falls, were held on Monday, December 6 at the Evangelical Covenant Church in Alexandria, with Pastor John LeVahn officiating. Interment was held at Evergreen Cemetery. Cakset bearers included Don Schoonhoven, Milt Digre, Karl Bloomquist, Chuck Erickson, Jerry Bauer, Dick Lund, Ron Eldred and John Thorstad. Honorary casket bearers inclduded Bob's afternoon coffee friends.
Robert Hayes was born on February 21, 1927, in Thief River Falls, the son of Richard F. and Lena Hayes. He grew up in Pennington County on the family farm and graduated from Thief River Falls Lincoln High School
In 1945, Bob was drafted by the U.S. Army for overseas service in Japan and received discharge after only a year with cessation of World War II.
In June of 1951, Bob graduated with a bachelor of science degree from the engineering college at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, N.D.; he soon began working for 3M
Bob married Iva Thorstad of Thief River Falls on June 2, 1951, at the Methodist Church in Thief River Falls. To this union they were blessed with four children. The family moved to Cumberland, Wis., where they lived for 15 years. Bob worked as an industrial engineer and was a supervisor in an abrasives plant for 3M. In 1966 they moved to Alexandria, where he helped start the 3M plant and worked in the human resources department. In 1985, Bob retired after 34 years with 3M, but was still very active in the community as he had been in the past. Bob was a member of the Kiwanis for 46 years, was on the ALP board for 23 years, spent one term on the District 206 School Board, and was very active in his church.
Bob enjoyed working with lumber designing and building things, but most of all he loved being with family and friends.
Bob died on December 2, 2004 at his home in Alexandria. He is survived by his wife Iva; four children, Dick (Judy) Hayes of Lakeville, Barbara (David) Henderson of Mound, Janet (Andy) Schuch of Rodgers, Alaska, and Tom (Kris) Hayes of Alexandria; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Lena Hayes. A00003B2004DC15

To others she was a freak. But to her friends and family, she was simply a person who achieved her biggest dream: becoming a woman.
- An intimate and revealing look at the life of the 20th century's most famous transsexual.
- Activists and intellectuals examine Jorgensen's place in the sexual landscape.
- Features archival interview with Jorgensen and recollections from those who knew her best.
It was an age of docility and contentment: America was riding the wave of growth and confidence in the wake of World War II, Ike was in the White House and Elvis was still something of a scandal. So imagine the reception that greeted George Jorgensen's announcement that he was going to have a sex-change operation.
BIOGRAPHY® draws on the recollections of friends and insights from activists and scholars of the sexual revolution and social change to trace the life and examine the legacy of Christine Jorgensen, the pioneering transsexual who became a lightning rod for those opposed to the self-expression she represented and an inspiration to millions of others grappling with their own identities. Respectful and revealing, this is a riveting account of one of the 20th century's most distinctive lives.

At a GlanceProFund VP Utilities seeks to provide exposure to the Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Index.
ObjectiveProFund VP Utilities seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Index.
There is no guarantee that any ProFund will achieve its investment objective. Investment return and principal value will vary and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. An investment in this ProFund entails certain risks, which are outlined in the Fund's Prospectus.
RisksBecause non-diversified portfolios invest a substantial proportion of their assets in a limited number of securities within a specific industry, they may suffer greater volatility as a result of economic, political or regulatory events than diversified portfolios would.
Certain funds are subject to concentration risk which results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. Sector funds may have significant exposure to an individual company that constitutes a significant portion of that fund's benchmark index and thus will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that specific company.
Risks associated with investing in companies in the utilities economic sector include but are not limited to: review and limitation of rates by governmental regulatory commissions; interest rate movements may affect the value of regulated utility debt instruments, utilities may engage in riskier ventures as deregulation allows them to diversify, and deregulation may result in greater competition.
There are several risk considerations associated with the ProFunds VP and the Access VP High Yield Fund, including but not limited to the following: Active Investor Risk, Aggressive Investment Technique Risk, CDS Risk, Concentration Risk, Correlation Risk, Counterparty Risk, Credit Risk, Debt Instrument Risk, Early Close/Trading Halt Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Equity Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, Foreign Investment Risk, Geographic Concentration Risk, High Yield Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Specific Risk, Liquidity Risk, Management Risk, Market Risk, Non-Diversification Risk, Repurchase Agreement Risk, Portfolio Turnover Risk, Short Sale Risk, Small and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk, Technology Investment Risk, Valuation Risk, Value Investing Risk.

Mobile Health Hits the Hill
mHealth Summit 2012 in DC explores that many ways mobile technologies are fundamentally changing the way health care is experienced.
Effective October 1, 2012, QUALCOMM Incorporated completed a corporate reorganization in which the assets of certain of its businesses and groups, as well as the stock of certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, were contributed to Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated. Learn more about these changes

mHealth Summit 2012 in DC explores that many ways mobile technologies are fundamentally changing the way health care is experienced.
Every smartphone has the potential to be a personal health monitor. With intelligent sensors, powerful processors and longer battery lives, smartphones have quickly become fertile ground for innovative developers to create fresh new applications that showcase these device capabilities. While the total number of apps across the most popular app stores continues to balloon to the point of over saturation, the health and wellness category in most app stores is relatively unexploited.
This being National Heart Month, I'd like to tell you how Qualcomm, through its Wireless Reach™ initiative, partnered with George Washington University, One Economy, Cricket Communications and VOCEL on the Wireless Reach Pill Phone Research Study.

Women and Authority: Re-Emerging Mormon Feminism
Utah women today might be surprised to learn their grandmothers' views on feminist issues, according to Maxine Hanks. LDS Relief Society co-founder Sarah Kimball referred to herself as "a woman's rights woman, " while Bathsheba Smith was called on Relief Society mission in 1870 to preach equal rights for women.
The society editorialized that females belonged not only "in the nursery" but also "in the library, the laboratory, the observatory." Sisters sent east to study medicine were assured that "when men see that women can exist without them, it will perhaps take a little of the conceit out of some of them." Temple officiators were called "priestesses, " Eliza R. Snow the "prophetess, " and women were discouraged from confessing to bishops on grounds that personal matters "should be referred to the Relief Society president and her counselors." Women were set apart as healers "with power to rebuke diseases."
In addition, Mormon theology spoke reassuringly of a Mother God of the divinity ofMary, Mary Magdalene, and Eve. No wonder Relief Society president Emmeline B. Wells could write with confidence: "Let woman speak for herself; she has the right of freedom of speech. Women are too slow in moving forward, afraid of criticism, of being called unwomanly, of being thought masculine."

Five stars for how much it has informed my mental processes on women in Mormonism. Some essays were more helpful than others, and I don't agree with every single thing, but it's a powerful book with interesting and important research into mormon theology and church history.
