Wow. Been neglecting my poor old sketchbook here. Not good enough!
Got really fed up with drawing thanks to one hellish spring at my university. Sat day and night by the lightbox.. -.-
I have alot of things to show you, but I haven't got my folder back from my art teacher yet. The folder contains stuff like 20 comic strips and 3 horror illustrations in pen and ink... I also have a bunch of figure studies i need to scan. Nothing digital though.
IanE Thank you so much! I really enjoy making them too. ^^
Giorge Thanks, working on it.
andy375 I appreciate it! Been laying low on the robots lately though. :/
jatherip Sweet. Value studies seems like a good idea! Thanks!
Sevarenge Haha! Tack! Jag har varit sämst på att uppdatera. Studierna kommer. Väntar bara på att få tillbaka en hel del arbeten av min lärare.
Spent my whole summer in USA where I crocheted alot. I also did this small illustration for my boyfriend in ink and watercolours. Enjoy!
This is an amigurumi bear I did for my grandmother. Just a little taller than 2 inches.
This was the place where I spent my nights crying in april, may and the beginning of june. At the atelier in the basement of my university.
Bad photo taken with laptop webcam.
Hey, your little robots are funky! Theres a nice assortment of work in here, I really like your sculpture, it looks sort of like a demon worm or something ;p
Like your last illustration up there, and the rest of your little town sketches, you've given personality to those buildings.
<_< >_> -----> Sketchbook
Hi there! ^^
So you are studying comics in Gävle? Is it in fakt Johan Höjer thats pulling the strings still? I spent one year at serietecknmarskolan and it was just horrible, the only good thing was the other students! I havent gone to any other schools since that. So amsterdam? did you love it?
Glad to have you here at CA by the way!
Cheers and keep it up!

RedSquirrel Thanks! ^^
B-Man Aye! I'm at serietecknarskolan as we speak. And yes, Mr Höjer is still in charge. I'm doing my last year now. There's a lot to complain about when it comes to this program. But I'm enduring it. I'm glad they moved everything to Gävle though. I would kill myself if I had to live in Hofors. When did you study? Amsterdam was awesome. Would love to go back there, and experience more of the art and architecture. Things I kinda missed out.
Thanks alot and likewise Mr B-Man!
I'm currently working on a uni project; a children's book.
This is the line art for one of the first pages. I'm gonna start with the water colouring next.
More updates are coming!
Some speedy nudes!

Well, hello there!
Bloodsbane I'm too scared! Gonna give digital colouring a go. Or maybe not? I don't know! >.<
Ivan Turcin Thank you so much. I will scan and upload more soon.
Flaskpost Tack! Tuschade klart en till illustration igår, så det kommer. Vet inte hur jag ska göra med färgläggningen dock. Jag ändrar mig hela tiden!
Blaz Thanks dude! I'm trying to do more figure studies, but time is scarce and I have so much on my plate right now. I'm planning on making anatomy my big project after christmas though.
ColorExcursion Hey there! Thank you for the kind words. I do have a thing for buildings.. It's like a drug! Hehe!
Thank you all for taking time to comment. More stuff is coming. Promise!
I give you amazing zombies!
Yet another old school assignment. This one was about hatching and light. Made on A3 sized paper with pen and ink.
Before making the trio above, i had chosen the theme ghosts. But I changed my mind and made zombies instead.. This was my first attempt.
This was an assignment about silhouettes and text/fonts. It's supposed to be playing cards for a "truth or false" game.
You can buy your own autobiography for 3000$ in Japan. You'll sit through a 30h long interview, wait 6 months and then get a 100 page book about yourself.
In USA one can hire "The Fat Man". A man that stops dieting people from eating.
I apologize for some poor scans..

The last ones are cool-nice to see a diversity of styles in here! Seeing your watercolours makes me wish I picked mine up more than once every 5 years. Keep it up!
Hey all!
Christmas has passed and tomorrow is new years eve. Been busy with life and not enough art has been produced.
daveneale Thank you so much! ^^
Bloodsbane I know. I suck. But you know my situation. It's not very art friendly at the moment. :'(
Here's some character sketches and more linework in ink for the 3 spreads I'm making. The one I posted earlier is allready coloured. Will scan it soon and post more.
Ahh! The coloured version!

Hello fellow bildberättare.
I like your art style. I also recognize some of the work you have done as assignments in school. We did the same stuff when I was there (about three years back). The true or false game especially. You had Johannes for that? He is a good teacher.
I take it you have graduated now?
These houses are awesome
Du är svensk också så hej hej
No! I'm still alive!
Broken 'puter makes Em a sad girl.. More traditional stuff then, I guess.
Bloodsbane Eh. Jag är seg.
Bergulf I graduated this spring and yes I had Johannes. Thank heavens for that!
Loathsome Houses in my heart! Hej hej på dig!
These are the 3 illustrations for my old childrens book dummy I made almost a year ago. Colors are a bit off. And a little bit rushed. I'm happy with a few bits and pieces.
We love them!
Long time no post! I know how that is. I've had my long breaks from CA too. I hope you find your way to at least post one's a week. I like you colors in this last post, reminds me of books I read as a child. Keep it up and push yourself hard. If you find your way to Stockholm let me know we might round up some CA members for a Sketchday or something.

FootstepsBeckon Haha! Thank you so much for commenting! My laptop is fixed and I can finally work digitally again. I've just been really bad at documenting and uploading my work lately. Too much to do! I will look at your stuff too as soon as I'm done with this post!
So! This is a couple of pages from my latest comic i made for the anthology Comic Royale #5. It's a 9 page word-less comic about a girl that ventures out into the forest. And it got selected! Woho!

What is National Science & Engineering Week?
National Science & Engineering Week (NSEW) is a 10-day programme of around 4500 events running throughout the whole of the UK with the aim of celebrating science, engineering and technology and its importance in our lives. With no restrictions on who can organise events, the topics on which they are focused, the audience or the venue, the resulting programme is a hugely varied and eclectic mix suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
What are the dates?
From 14 - 23 March 2014.
Who organises National Science & Engineering Week?
National Science & Engineering Week is coordinated by the British Science Association and is funded by BIS (Department for Business Innovation and Skills). In 2006, the British Science Association began working in partnership with EngineeringUK to specifically increase the awareness of the contribution of engineering to our society through the week, now around 40% of events have an engineering theme.
National Science & Engineering Week events are organised by people from all walks of life; teachers, community groups, industry and many more. All of our organisers share an enthusiastic approach to science, engineering and technology and the continuing success of National Science & Engineering Week depends entirely on the incredible efforts of the organisers and the enthusiasm of participants. National Science & Engineering Week events can be organised by anyone.
Why should I take part?
Organisers tend to have their own unique reasons and benefits for taking part, sometimes it is that they wish to use the additional publicity that they can generate by being part of the week, others just like being part of such a large project. Below is a list of some of the potential benefits of being part of National Science & Engineering Week.
- listing of your event in the NSEW programme
- raised profile of organisation or area of science
- increased publicity by using NSEW as a hook for your event
- building links with the local community
- new and/or larger audiences
- improving organisational and communication skills of staff and volunteers
- reflects positively on you and your organisation
- you get to take part in one the largest science experiences in the country…you may be only participating in one small event but NSEW is definitely greater than the sum of its parts!
Can I run an event/activity?
Events and activities within National Science & Engineering Week are organised and run by anyone who wishes to be involved on a voluntary basis. People run events as part of their job, to promote their organisation or a particular subject, or sometimes just for fun!
Anyone who wishes to run an event is wholly welcome and we will do the best to help you get started.
Who are the events targeted at?
Anyone and everyone! The idea behind the programme is to raise awareness, spark enthusiasm and celebrate science, engineering and technology with people of all ages and from all walks of life.
Where do the events take place?
Throughout the whole of the UK. Events take place in a diverse range of locations from museums, schools, colleges, universities and shopping centres to factories, business premises, libraries, scout and guide groups and even hospitals. You name it a National Science & Engineering Week event has been held there.
What sort of event can I run?
There are no strict rules and any format of event is welcome. All we ask is that the event has a science, engineering or technology theme or sub-theme. For example, you could:
- open up your business or university department for a tour for the public
- run a series of hands-on exhibits and activities
- set up interactive displays, demonstrations and investigations
- host an exhibition, talk or debate
- challenge your pupils/colleagues/visitors to a quiz or competition
- run a seminar, conference or workshop
Does National Science & Engineering Week have a theme?
For school event organisers, the NSEW theme for 2014 is 'Explore the future.'
For non-school event organisers, there is no theme - your imagination is the only limit! The type of event or activity you run is entirely up to you and would depend on your own personal interests and the resources at your disposal. The only thing we ask is that your event is based on a science and/or engineering topic (can include the social sciences).
I am planning to organise an event - what should I do?
If you are organising an event for the first time, before you do anything else, please register as an NSEW event organiser [1].
It is free to register and does not obligate you to run an event later in the year, but it does mean that you will be able to add events to the programme, download resources and that the NSEW team will be able to keep you up-to-date with new information and plans or remind you of upcoming deadlines. We will only send emails once every month or so and you can unsubscribe at any time.
What is the best way for me to find an event partner or speaker?
The best way to find an event partner is to attend one of the National Science & Engineering Week information sessions [2]. These events are excellent for networking and for finding out what other activities and plans are going on in your area.
Another great resource is www.sciencelive.net [3]. This is an online directory of science presenters and outreach and is a great start if you are looking for a speaker for your National Science & Engineering Week event.
Where can I find further information, activity ideas and resources?
Take a look at our free activity resources [4], as well as our many how-to guides and templates [5].
We can also offer logos, leaflets, posters and stickers for reaching the media (please request a marketing pack when you register your event [1]). The online shop [6] offers t-shirts, badges, pencils and science goodies all at cost price.
Can the British Science Association help with my event publicity?
Marketing and publicity for your event is up to the individual organisers, however, all events that are registered as public will be featured in the National Science & Engineering Week online programme [7], which is promoted across the country. Your event could be included in our regional and national press releases.
Can I download logos to use on my marketing materials?
Yes you can [8]. Please ensure you read the branding guidelines to get the most out of logos available.
Is there funding available to assist with running an event?
The British Science Association co-ordinates our very own Kick-Start Fund that is specifically for schools in challenging circumstances. We also have regional funds in Scotland and Wales. We also produce a guide to find funding. This guide includes an updated list of grants available, ideas on where to look for funding and how to attract sponsorship for your event. Please see our funding page [9].
When do I need to let you know about my event plans?
As soon as possible! Registeration is now open [1]!
We want to hear about all of the National Science & Engineering Week events that are going on around the UK, so even if your event is not open to the public, please do let us know by registering it.
How can I find out what's happening in my area?
You can find out what public events are happening in your area through our National Science & Engineering Week online programme [7] and events map [10].
Can I contact a member of the NSEW team with any queries?
You can contact a member of the National Science & Engineering Week team at any time by emailing us at email@example.com [11] or by calling 020 7019 4937/63.
Our postal address is:
National Science & Engineering Week
British Science Association
Wellcome Wolfson Building

Can I register for a free e-newsletter?
You can register for a free e-newsletter by registering yourself as an organiser. We will send out information once every month or so and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Recipe by Case31
"This dish is quick, easy, and delicious! Directions are for charcoal grill, but gas grill or oven would work. If you use a smaller zucchini it can make a great appetizer!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Wow...just wow! I don't have a grill, so I sliced the zucchini (and a yellow squash I had) into "planks" and lined them up on an oiled cookie sheet. Then I topped it with my toppings - tomato sauce, green and yellow bell peppers, Roma tomatoes, mushrooms, and red onion. Then I sprinkled it with feta cheese (all I had on hand) and some grated mozzarella. Sprinkled the whole thing with salt and pepper, then oregano, and tossed it in the oven for about 20 minutes on 350. Sprinkled some basil on top and parmesan cheese when it came out and it was absolutely divine. What a great way to use summer veggies. Tasty and pretty. Definitely a keeper. Thanks!
Sliced them 1/4 inch thin, put them on a baking sheet and into a 400 oven for about 12 minutes. May try a higher temperature next time, but these were delightful!

I recently stopped eating meat and wheat, and this was the perfect substitute for a good pizza! Can make with any sort of topping! It was so quick and simple, will sure to be a favorite around here!
Used just the sauce, onion, mushrooms and goat cheese and they were delicious.
Oh my god these are amazing! I can't eat gluten anymore and never thought I would find a substitute that was equally satisfying. The only thing I did differently is slice the zucchini into long planks and bake them at 400 for about 10 minutes instead of grilling (I don't really understand how they wouldn't fall apart on the grill since the ingredients were all precariously balanced on the raw zucchini). Also used feta because that's what I had. Could not be more thrilled to find this recipe!

See ya, Segway! We've got a suitcase electric scooter now
Segway scooters are still kind of cool, but they have the disadvantage of being big. It's a bit difficult to just pack one up, take it on your morning public transportation commute, and then saddle up to ride it to the office. Israeli designer Amir Zaid is thinking smaller than Segway when it comes to his all-electric MUV-e scooter. It's small enough to fold up into a suitcase-size bundle.
Zair's resume includes design work for Ferrari and Fiat, so you know the MUV-e isn't going to look like other scooters. It has three wheels and lots of rounded edges. There's even a bit of a Tron aesthetic at work here in looking at the renderings for the final product. Dare I say, it looks a little sporty? Not at all like this boxy scooter we saw recently.… Read more

February 25, 2014 - The California Community College Baseball Coaches Association (CCCBCA) revealed their selections for the top 20 baseball teams in Southern California as voted on by the coaches. The Olympians broke into the top 15 and then some with a #13 ranking as they improved their overall record to 8-3 after a win over fellow PCAC team, Imperial Valley on the same day.
Saturday, September 14th was a big day for Nick Buss. Instead of suiting up in his Albuqeurque Isotopes uniform, he found himself in Los Angeles putting on his first major league uniform. The Dodgers called Buss up from the Triple A team to replace one of their injured outfielders. In his major league debut, Buss went 1-3 against former Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum in front of the Dodgers home crowd and then the next day, he faced the Giants again going 1-4 while starting in right field. Buss (or Chili as he is called by his teammates) got the nod to be the starter again that following Monday in left field in his first away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The former Mesa centerfielder had an outstanding season with the Olympians. Buss was an offensive weapon hitting .382 with 22 RBI's and scored 30 runs while stealing 21 bases successfully out of 25 attempts. He was named to the 1st Team All Pacific Coast Athletic Conference selection and also received high praise from the state as he was named to the All Southern California Team. Although he was only in the blue and gold for a season in 2006, he was given a scholarship to USC where he was the 109th Trojan to play in the major leagues. From USC, he entered the draft and was the selected by the Dodgers in the 8th round in 2008. He consistently worked his way up from single A minor league to his current assignment in the triple A league where he was batting .303 with 17 homeruns and 100 RBI's during the 2013 season. In his postgame interview Nick Buss commented, "It was very exciting. But suprisingly I felt calm. You get so used to stepping into the batter's box. It was probably a little more nerve-wracking on deck then it is once you step in there. It's just back to business as usual."

The Olympians Baseball program is proudly honoring fallen teammate, Hunter Harris, on Feb. 1, 2013 against the visiting Mt. San Jacinto College. In tribute, Harris will be announced as the starting pitcher for the Olympians at their 2:00pm home opener. Hunter, a freshman pitcher from Patrick Henry High School, will always be remembered by his teammates, family and friends as playful, caring and a genuine friend who loved baseball and had a great sense of humor. In honor of such a tremendous person and teammate, the Olympians Baseball program would like to dedicate their 2013 season to his memory and will proudly honor him with a personalized logo on their hats and t-shirts.
Feb. 5, 2013 – The Olympians Baseball's home opener meant more than just a start to another baseball season. It was a special day for a special young man and his family, friends, teammates and coaches. That day, their friend, Hunter Harris, was going be honored and announced as the game's starting pitcher. Before the first pitch could be thrown, the Harris Family was presented with their son's jersey before the large crowd full of Hunter's family and friends. It was a moment that not only was heartfelt but a moment that symbolized what Hunter Harris meant to his team. In tribute, the Olympians have dedicated their season to Harris' memory and will be proudly wearing his initials on their hats.
Riding the emotional high of the pregame ceremonies, the blue and gold started off their home opener in a way that would have made Hunter proud as they took down the visiting Mt. San Jacinto College in a 5-2 victory. In the opening inning, the Eagles struck first with 3 hits and 1 run while Mesa answered back with a run of their own off of 2 hits, including a double by centerfielder, Kyle Harris who scored off of a sacrifice line drive by teammate Jeff Ricker. The 2nd inning would belong to the Eagles as they scored their 2nd run of the game while Mesa's lineup was unable to answer back. Going into the 3rd inning, Mesa settled in and shut down Mt. San Jacinto while adding another run to the home score following a leadoff walk to Patrick De la Garza who went 1-3 on the day with a stolen base and a run scored. Mesa continued to shut down the Eagles in the 4th inning while bettering their score by one following some untimely pitching miscues which set the table for a big 6th inning where the Olympians pushed across 2 more runs following Tyler Timmer's leadoff single. The second baseman ended the day going 1-2 with 2 runs scored and a stolen base while teammate third baseman Justin Esquerra went 2-4 at the plate. At the conclusion of their home opener, the Olympians bettered the Eagles in a final score of 5-2 with 7 hits and only 1 error while hurler Steve Borkowski notched his first win of the season. Borkowski threw 6 innings and faced 28 batters while only giving up 2 walks, 2 runs, and retiring 4.
November 15, 2012 - The Olympians are proud to announce the signing of starting pitcher, Chris Tuma to Campbellsville University. The 6'2" hurler will be heading to the NAIA school on an academic and athletic scholarship after completing his 2013 here at Mesa as a sophomore. Competing in the Mid-South Conference, the Tigers finished in 3rd place last season with a 37-18 over record and closed out conference play with a 14-7 record. This competitive conference had a tight margin between the leader and second and third places so it should be an exciting season for Tuma when he joins Campbellsville in 2014 as a starting pitcher.
Last season, the right hander ended his freshman year with a 2.75 ERA and an 8-3 record with 13 starts for the Olympians. He led the bullpen with 33 strikeouts while only giving up seven walks. In conference play, the Fremont native was 6-2 with a 2.15 ERA and led the pitching team again in strikeouts with 25 in 10 starts. Going into his second year in blue and gold, Tuma, who made the 2012 1st Team All PCAC, will be a more experienced and seasoned veteran who will be able to help his team defend their Pacific Coast Athletic Conference title before he heads off to Louisville, KY in the fall of 2013.
Mesa College second baseman in 2010-2011, Myles Dempsey, is off to the NCAA Division II World Series with Chico State which will be played in North Carloina. Dempsey was named the Tournament MVP for his play during the regional.
April 27, 2012
The Olympians finished the season in a three-way tie for first with a record of 15-10 in conference play. Mesa tied with Southwestern and Palomar for the championship, and became the second seed due to the tiebreaking rules the conference has set. This will be Mesa's second consecutive trip to the playoffs. The Olympians have been seeded #12, and will travel to #5 Glendale Saturday and Sunday for a best-of-three series.
The following is from Glendale to make your trip to the game easier...
Stengel Field is directly across the street from Glendale College, 1500 N. Verdugo Rd, and the best access for your fans is to enter Verdugo Park on Canada Blvd. and take the road past the large parking area until you see the small lot adjacent to the field for drop off or parking. The field can easily be reached from either the 2 Freeway, exit Mountain Street, or the 134 Freeway, exit Glendale Ave.
The California Community College Athletic Association Regional Playoffs take place this weekend with the Glendale College Vaqueros hosting San Diego Mesa College . Game times for the best two-out-of-three series are at 1 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday with a third game to start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game Sunday if necessary. Glendale is 25-10 on the season and is seeded No. 5 in the playoffs and San Diego is 20-15 and is seeded No. 12. Ticket prices mandated by the state are $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 & under.
APR. 4, 2012 - The Pacific Coast Athletic Conference has selected San Diego Mesa College baseball player Chris Tuma and Southwestern baseball player Cody Sos as its Men's Athletes of the Week.
Tuma, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound freshman pitcher from American High School in Freemont and a transfer from Cal State East Bay where he red-shirted, threw a two-hit shutout to beat rival San Diego City College 10-0. His performance jump-started a 3-0 week for the Olympians that kept them tied with Southwestern for the conference lead.
March 12, 2012
SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Junior catcher Dillon Haupt of the 35th-ranked University of San Diego baseball team has been named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday morning.
Haupt, a 6-5 junior from San Diego, helped catapult USD to a 4-1 record this past week as he paced the offense with an impressive .368 batting average (7-for-19), while recording a pair of doubles, two home runs and a team-leading 10 RBI. He was slugging at a .789 clip, and had an on base percentage of .409. In the first game this past week, Haupt went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run and four RBI. In Sunday's win over Vanderbilt, he led the team's offense going 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI.
February 7, 2012
The Olympians ran their record to 2-1 on the season beating COD on a day when the weather was just as tough as the opponent. Starting the game at 1pm instead of the scheduled start of 2pm proved to be a good decision as the two teams were able to play seven innings before the rain forcast proved to be true.
With an early pitching duel, neither team was able to score until Garett Gallacher was led off the bottom of the fifth with a single to right center. Patrick de la Garza moved him to second with a sacrifice bunt, and AC Herrera followed with an RBI single up the middle. The Olympians continued the scoring in the bottom of the sixth with a lead off double from Conner Wilson, followed by back to back doubles from Tyler Timmer and Josh Suffridge to move the advantage to 3-0.
Desert was able to score three runs of their own in the top of the seventh with the help of two Mesa errors, knotting the game at 3-3. However, Mesa scored another run in the bottom of the seventh and two more in the eighth to put the game away.
The scoring in the seventh came from a walk by Justin Esquerra and another double by Tyler Timmer. The eighth inning started with Brett Ackerman hitting a double down the left field line, and a single off the bat of Garett Gallacher drove him in. De la Garza was able to score the final run for Mesa after getting hit by a pitch, stealing second and moving to third on the throw. After Herrera struck out on a ball in the dirt, De la Garza was able to score on the play at first.
Jackson Carroll threw four innings in his first college start, followed by shut out innings from Dylan Ruth, Chris Tuma, Joe Rosan and Brian Kaye. The three runs off Evan Taylor were all unearned.
February 3, 2012 - Mesa College
The Mesa College Baseball team started the 2012 season with a 10-1 win over Mt. San Jacinto. The scoring started with a 2-run home run off the bat of sophomore, Anthony Diaz. Mesa continued with another home run off the bat of Justin Esquerra, a freshman third baseman from Patrick Henry.
Freshman, Chris Tuma, kept San Jacinto scoreless for six innings before giving up two of his four hits allowed in the seventh when San Jacinto scored their only run. Dylan Ruth and Brian Kaye each threw a scoreless inning to complete the dominate pitching performance.
Oct. 25, 2011
In the pre-season poll for the 2012 season, The Olympians were voted #17 by the Southern California Community College Coaches. This comes following a season in which Mesa finished second in the PCAC, and took Final Four participant, Santa Ana to three games in the first round of the Southern California Regionals.

Aspartic Acid Residue D3 Critically Determines Cx50 Gap Junction Channel Transjunctional Voltage-Dependent Gating and Unitary Conductance Biophysical Journal, Volume 102, Issue 5, 7 March 2012, Pages 1022-1031 Li Xin, So Nakagawa, Tomitake Tsukihara and Donglin Bai Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the aspartic acid residue (D) at the third position is critical in determining the voltage polarity of fast Vj-gating of Cx50 channels. To test whether another negatively charged residue (a glutamic acid residue, E) could fulfill the role of the D3 residue, we generated the mutant Cx50D3E. Vj-dependent gating properties of this mutant channel were characterized by double-patch-clamp recordings in N2A cells. Macroscopically, the D3E substitution reduced the residual conductance (Gmin) to near zero and outwardly shifted the half-inactivation voltage (V0), which is a result of both a reduced aggregate gating charge (z) and a reduced free-energy difference between the open and closed states. Single Cx50D3E gap junction channels showed reduced unitary conductance (γj) of the main open state, reduced open dwell time at ±40 mV, and absence of a long-lived substate. In contrast, a G8E substitution tested to compare the effects of the E residue at the third and eighth positions did not modify the Vj-dependent gating profile or γj. In summary, this study is the first that we know of to suggest that the D3 residue plays an essential role, in addition to serving as a negative-charge provider, as a critical determinant of the Vj-dependent gating sensitivity, open-closed stability, and unitary conductance of Cx50 gap junction channels.

Correlative Studies of Gating in Cx46 and Cx50 Hemichannels and Gap Junction Channels Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 1725-1739 Miduturu Srinivas, Jack Kronengold, Feliksas F. Bukauskas, Thaddeus A. Bargiello and Vytas K. Verselis Abstract Transjunctional voltage (Vj) gating of gap junction (GJ) channels formed of connexins has been proposed to occur by gating of the component hemichannels. We took advantage of the ability of Cx46 and Cx50 to function as unapposed hemichannels to identify gating properties intrinsic to hemichannels and how they contribute to gating of GJ channels. We show that Cx46 and Cx50 hemichannels contain two distinct gating mechanisms that generate reductions in conductance for both membrane polarities. At positive voltages, gating is similar in Cx46 and Cx50 hemichannels, primarily showing increased transitioning to long-lived substates. At negative voltages, Cx46 currents deactivate completely and the underlying single hemichannels exhibit transitions to a fully closed state. In contrast, Cx50 currents do not deactivate completely at negative voltages and the underlying single hemichannels predominantly exhibit transitions to various substates. Transitions to a fully closed state occur, but are infrequent. In the respective GJ channels, both forms of gating contribute to the reduction in conductance by Vj. However, examination of gating of mutant hemichannels and GJ channels in which the Asp at position 3 was replaced with Asn (D3N) showed that the positive hemichannel gate predominantly closes Cx50 GJs, whereas the negative hemichannel gate predominantly closes Cx46 GJs in response to Vj. We also report, for the first time, single Cx50 hemichannels in oocytes to be inwardly rectifying, high conductance channels (γ=470 pS). The antimalarial drug mefloquine, which selectively blocks Cx50 and not Cx46 GJs, shows the same selectivity in Cx50 and Cx46 hemichannels indicating that the actions of such uncoupling agents, like voltage gating, are intrinsic hemichannel properties.

Amino-terminus and carboxyl-terminus of connexins have been proposed to be responsible for the transjunctional voltage-dependent gating (Vj-gating) and the unitary gap junction channel conductance (γj). To better understand the molecular structure(s) determining the Vj-gating properties and the γj of Cx50, we have replaced part of the amino-terminus of mCx50 by the corresponding domain of mCx36 to engineer a chimera Cx50-Cx36N, and attached GFP at the carboxyl-terminus of mCx50 to construct Cx50-GFP. The dual whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to test the resulting gap junction channel properties in N2A cells. The Cx50-Cx36N gap junction channel lowered the sensitivity of steady-state junctional conductance to Vj (Gj/Vj relationship), slowed Vj-gating kinetics, and reduced γj as compared to Cx50 channel. Cx50-GFP gap junction channel showed similar Vj-gating properties and γj to Cx50 channel. We further characterized a mutation, Cx50N9R, where the Asn (N) at the ninth position of Cx50 was replaced by the corresponding Arg (R) at Cx36. The Gj/Vj relationship of Cx50N9R channel was significantly changed; most strikingly, the macroscopic residual conductance (Gmin) was near zero. Moreover, the single Cx50N9R channel only displayed one open state (γj = 132 ± 4 pS), and no substate could be detected. Our data suggest that the NT of Cx50 is critical for both the Vj-gating and the γj, and the introduction of a positively charged Arg at the ninth position reduced the Gmin with a correlated disappearance of the substate at the single channel level.

Fox uses their right of the 1st Amendment but not Craig? Must have been Obama that is shutting him out.
Craig James demands to be reinstated as FOX Sports Southwest football analyst
The legal team for Craig James, the often criticized former ESPN analyst who was hired and then fired by FOX Sports Southwest, has sent a letter to the network demanding that he be given his job back, according to a report by Ed Sherman.
James was fired by FOX Sports Southwest two days – and one appearance – after being hired because of his anti-gay comments during his run for the Texas Senate.
"We just asked ourselves how Craig's statements would play in our human resources department," a Fox spokesman said at the time. "He couldn't say those things here."
Now, James' legal team says the firing is discrimination because it violates his religious beliefs.
From The Washington Times (via Sherman):
"The actions have also led to the breach of Craig James' contract and the impugnment of his career," the letter states. "We demand the immediate reinstatement [of] Mr. James to the on-air college football analyst position. If you refuse to reinstate Mr. James, millions of Americans will be left with the impression that you do not respect religious liberty and Liberty Institute will be forced to pursue subsequent legal options."
THE BONUS: The battle between Mike Leach and Craig James at Texas Tech
We, who watch Fox Sports Southwest TV, do not want to see him or hear his despicable voice.. He thinks he is God's gift to humanity. He stinks, and because of his ugly attitude thinking that he is better than anyone else, we would hate for the TV station to rehire him. Let him pay for what he did to Coach Leach.
What goes around, comes around. Betcha Mike Leach is taking note of this. And whatever became of Craig's loser spoiled rotten son? I don't see him starting on any NFL team anywhere, drafted or undrafted
Interesting tactic to threaten the very institution you wish to be part of. Guess that will play out real nice. Make for a nice cuddly relationship when all is said and done. This will no doubt be an ACLU lawsuit claiming James' right to have his opinions based on his religion. As long as he doesn't say them in the work place then what is the problem? Yes - it is distasteful - but he isn't running for office anymore and I wondering if we all don't have something in our minds that isn't PC. Are we talking thought police here? And please, before anyone bashes me for being a sympathizer - I'm not - but I'm trying to see both sides of the story and I just don't see where James did anything wrong by Fox. To hire him and then fire him because he wasn't properly vetted? Excuse me - who didn't know about James' thoughts on the homosexual community? Fox erred here - it seems to me. Now I would work out a compromise - but I wouldn't put him on the air.
Too bad, hot shot! Go back to SMU and beg the boosters for more $$$$$$$$$$$$$!-Mike Leach
You want to be a c ock s ucker--fine,just STFU and leave the vast majority of the world alone.
"Religious rights/freedom" do not apply to a private organization. FOX Sports can fire James for saying stupid stuff on the air. I'm sure there's a clause in his contract.
There won't be any "subsequent actions" from the Liberty Institute. And isn't it ironic that the "Liberty Institute" is trying to force FOX Sports to re-hire James, instead of FOX Sports having the freedom to hire/fire whomever it likes?
Typical liberal agenda. Bully people into accepting certain groups or you get fired or lose your business. Ridiculous.
So it's wrong to be gay, but killing hookers is ok? What strange religious beliefs he has.
I demand to get an honorary doctorate for all the money I spend at your football games, lol.
To many bridges burned along the way since his days as a member of the Pony Express while at SMU that got the death penalty.
I bet the Coach of Washington State is saying something in Pirate! Just about now about Mr. James and his demands!!!
Craig James has made his demand now I will make mine....Shut the hell up, Craig James.
I used to like Craig James when he was on Game Day. I thought he was the best at making fun of Lee Corso. I lost all respect for him over the Mike Leach firing. Not saying that what Mike Leach did was right but I thought it was kind of weak that he used his position to beat the fire Mike Leach drum. Either handle it man to man or don't be a hover parent and let your son learn how to be a man.
The only thing CJ can run is his mouth and maybe Obamacare". He is a POS everybody hates him.
Color me stunned that an obnoxious, nepotistic bigot was fired by Fox. Maybe being fired by the sports division will lead to a hire by the "news" division, though.
Rupert Murdoch has pulled off a real coup he now has Rachel Maddow ,Bill Maher and Jon Stewart making the on air hiring choices for Fox Sports Southwest . Who knew? Where are Bill,Sean,Glenn and Sara ? Why aren't they all on strike to protest this blow against FREE White Christian America? Is this another Battle in the War on Christmas gone unanswered ?Rupert the Gays have infiltrated your bastion of Fair and Balanced . Shame !
Ha, this guy. Didn't he get beat by the margin of error on his senate run? Guy should catch a clue.
He wants a payoff. He knows there is no chance they will take him back. Talk about a PR disaster.
You can forgive...which is always the right thing to do. But that doesn't mean you have to keep somebody employed as a result of what you are forgiving. Forgive the man and fire his actions.
@texspence Yes, Mr. Mighty got about "4" votes in the whole state of Texas. I guess the voting was for family members only. Most people don't like him.
@texspence He's an idiot, and no company willingly keeps an idiot around. The fact that he has to sue for a job shows that he's unemployable. Let him stay that way.
@thebigdawg3 i once paid a waiter 50 bucks to make their meal especially "awesome" when they were eating next to me at a rest here in Lubbock just after all the Leach biz went down. Needless to say it was one of the best lunches ever.
@Whatever what if Fox fired him for being gay? Can you imagine the outcry? Hypocrites.
@jeffcooper71 Do you know whatever happened to Jamie Craig's little boy? Did Jamie demand that an NFL team hire him to play?
@william.krause100 At least their news is accurate, unlike the liberal news like NBC and MSNBC...
Heck, it's been 15 years since anyone could stand Chris Berman, and yet ESPN still has him on.
@x72 @Trixie1223 Trixie, stop being a trick. The less you say, the more intelligent people will think you are., Dumbaxs.
Yep, Accurate alright. Since inauguration in 2009, the Dow Jones Average is up over 90%. From Inauguration in 2001 to Inauguration in 2009 it was down over 24%. Oh Wait, scratch that, Fox would never actually give any credit to the current president.
@Happy Customer2 @RyanInAuburn No, we don't allow the KKK to lynch people, either, and then say, oh, well, that's tolerance.
@RyanInAuburn Oh but if they did what an uproar that would be. But then again, tolerance doesn't work both ways now does it?
@GastricDistress @evileyefleagle @minnieandrobert Yes, that's a good question. Whom did he blow, I'd like to know?

A Fluid Connection Severed and United
Krista Tippett, host
U.S. culture glorifies "perfect" bodies. At the other end of that spectrum, we champion people who fight when their bodies fail. Matthew Sanford has charted another way. In his lyrical memoir, Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence, he describes how he learned to live in his whole body again, despite an irreversible paralysis, in part through the practice of yoga. And like every story well told, his contains lessons that reach beyond the confines of one person's experience.
Here is the kind of passage — one of several he reads in our show we titled "The Body's Grace" — that made me want to understand more:"
"I am forced to feel death — not the end of my life, but the death of my life as a walking person. In principle my experience is not that uncommon, only more extreme. If we can see death as more than black and white, as more than on and off, there are many versions of realized death short of physically dying. The death of a loved one sets so much in motion … Then there are also the quiet deaths. How about the day you realized you weren't going to be an astronaut or the Queen of Sheba? … What about the day we began working not for ourselves, but rather with the hope that our kids might have a better life? Or the day we realized that, on the whole, adult life is deeply repetitive? As our lives roll into the ordinary, when our ideals sputter and dissipate, as we wash the dishes after yet another meal, we are integrating death, a little part of us is dying so that another part can live."
The "mind-body connection" is a somewhat controversial phrase, a new-age notion to some, though it has been studied and described scientifically in a multitude of forms in recent years. I have spoken with scientists engaged in that work, but none of them has impressed me with the reality of the mind-body connection as Matthew Sanford does by his mere presence.
For over a quarter century, as a result of a car accident that killed his father and sister, he has been in a wheelchair. Yet I've rarely sat across from a person so alive, a body so palpably whole and wholly energetic as his. He has knitted his mind and body back together again over a quarter century, wresting wholeness through layers of cultural denial.
As we speak, Matthew Sanford makes me aware of the seamless cooperation of my mind and uninjured body, a synergy most of us take completely for granted. I stand up and walk as soon as the desire crosses my mind; I gesture with my hands to illustrate an idea I am passionate about; I shake my foot as my own engagement in conversation rises.
This kind of fluid connection was severed in Matthew Sanford. Yet as he struggled to come to terms with his body's new realities during years of recovery and violent corrective surgeries, he encountered another kind of mind-body connection that our culture practices instinctively, reflexively. We celebrate those who battle adversity, triumph over obstacles, beat the odds. We love the 80-year-old man who runs a marathon, the injured hero who never gives up pursuing the technology that will enable him to walk again. This is the mind-body connection translated as a battle of will over matter.
Matthew Sanford heeded these kinds of images for many years. He accepted the advice that he should declare the lower half of his body dead and pour all of his energy into creating bodybuilder arms. He lived for years, he says, feeling like a floating upper torso. Then in a time of renewed pain he gave yoga a try. He was fortunate to have a first teacher who specialized in Iyengar yoga.
Iyengar focuses on precision and alignment, qualities Sanford's body needed and could grasp. Through yoga, he came to a conviction that healing, for him, did not have to mean walking again. Yet he learned to experience his paralyzed limbs in a new way. He describes it as a subtle sensation of energy to which he has patiently learned to attune himself, an alternative to the crisp and clear sensation of nerve endings most of us take for granted. He writes, "My mind can feel into my legs." Speaking with him about this, coming to a vicarious sense of it myself, is fascinating.
We also speak at some length about a fascinating central idea Matthew Sanford has developed in and through his disability. He speaks of the "silence" he encountered where his mind and body stopped communicating with one another. But this core silence is within each of us, only grown more evident through his injury. He describes it variously in his book and in our conversation, as "the aspect of our consciousness that makes us feel slightly heavy;" "the place where stress lands;" and "the source of our feeling of loss, but also of a sense of awe."
This is the quality of solitary apartness evoked by the existentialist philosophers. But as Matthew Sanford understands it, this silence both separates us from one another and, in its universality, joins us together. In this I sense that he, through an experience of bodily paralysis, has put new words and a new picture to a core human truth at once both spiritual and physical.
I often feel that I will never be quite the same again after these conversations, but rarely is that conviction so tactile and embodied as this time. Through his work with both able-bodied and disabled students of yoga, Matthew Sanford tells me, he sees that the more alert we are in our own bodies, the more compassionate and connected we become to the world around us. Thanks to him, acts like washing the dishes and taking the stairs become moments of gratitude for the grace of my body and all of life.
Spiritual Nomad Finds Sacred Space
Chelsea Roff, guest contributor
The sanctity of a location is often said to be derived from its history. For some, the sacred space may be the site at which a loved one transitioned from one plane of existence to another; for others, the locale might have been the silent witness to an exceptional, life-changing event. However, for many of us, our hallowed home radiates a certain indescribable aura, a force that seems to draw in its disciples, offering refuge from the turmoil of everyday life.
The space may not even exist in a tangible respect. It may reveal itself only within the mind of the individual seeking shelter from the raging pandemonium that keeps the "real world" in constant disarray. Wherever it manifests, the discovery of such a sanctuary can be critical to the sustenance of one's sanity in the midst of pain or suffering. As humans collectively are forced to grapple with increasingly chaotic and tumultuous circumstances, cultivating a tranquil sanctuary within is the first step to creating peace throughout the world.
For a significant period of my life, I considered myself a sort of spiritual nomad. I maintained a calm and composed exterior, but inside I was secretly a wandering traveler searching for a place to rest my tired heart. As I speak with others, I'm finding that I am not alone in this circumstance.
Dizzy with the zealous declarations of partisan faiths, we spiritual nomads are the wanderers — we long to find fulfillment and meaning in something "greater," yet we acquire only temporary, artificial morsels of nourishment in the empty promises of dogmatic traditions. For some of us, hiding behind false idols in the house of science can pacify the intensity of our longing momentarily, but the beast always reemerges and demands more to fill the void.
For years I played this agonizing game, bouncing from elation to despair, caught in a cycle perpetuated by a need for solid ground beneath my feet. I wanted no less than the ability to turn my emotions on and off — to delegate my tears, laughter, and moments of sublimation. When I found that no denomination, spiritual guru, or uncompromising atheistic declaration could guarantee such a capacity, I decided to instead hide from sentiment altogether. I was willing to sacrifice joy, intimacy, and the very soul of life as long as I didn't have to risk being vulnerable in a cruel and uncertain world.
At some point, the wanderer must realize that pursuing immunity from suffering ultimately leads right back to the despondency with which (s)he was confronted to begin with. In my own experience, it was only when I was finally able to admit and accept my own powerlessness that tranquility materialized. I finally broke open, split at the seams by my despair. In that moment, surrendering to my own powerlessness revealed a truth that had been previously obscured by the lens of my desire.
I looked up into the night sky — no longer searching, but just absorbing — and the brilliant beam of a single star peering through dense fog imbibed hope into my bitter darkness. A voice resonated deep within me, and I heard — not with my ears, but rather with some thought-to-be vestigial organ within my soul — exactly the message I was supposed to hear at that moment.
"It is only on the darkest nights that you begin to see the stars."
The night acquired new meaning for me that evening. I can no longer venture out after the sun has set without taking several moments to gaze up at the stars and just marvel at them. Those effervescent beacons of light have become my idols, the night my sacred space. This experience — of acquiring a sacred place of my own — has helped me to better understand the reverence the Benedictine monk feels within the walls of a cathedral and why the Israeli and Palestinian peoples fight so bitterly over what they each deem to be their holy lands.
What I think is often forgotten, unfortunately, is that our sacred places are only concrete representations of our experience of love, God, divinity (or what ever word you use to name it). They are the grounds upon which we project the light that emanates from within, and when we forget that all-important truth we are once again forced into nomadic wandering. When we shed blood in a war over futile possession or limit our experience of divinity to a single location, we render it hollow and effectively desecrate its holiness. The sacred place exists not to introduce us to some higher power outside of our own experience; rather, it serves as a reminder of the splendor we kindle within.
True sacred spaces are not entrenched and immovable in the physical locations they occupy. Holy sites manifest themselves in manifold forms, consistently available in our moments of greatest need. As I mature, I'm learning to cultivate these sacred places within my own mind — to leave the logical, practical, relentlessly anxious intellect and find peace in the silence of quiet meditation and the gentle flow of my yoga practice. This spiritual nomad has finally found her sacred abode.

Living with Yoga
Kate Moos, managing producer
I went to my first yoga class in eight weeks last night, and remembered that we are broadcasting our program with Seane Corn this week, which we originally produced about a year ago. At that time I was in the local Bikram yoga studio three or four times a week, sweating and smiling at the instructor's injunctions to "struggle harder!" I love the arduous athleticism of Bikram practice.
But I had foot surgery over the summer, and am still nursing it eight weeks later, my right foot three sizes larger than the left. It's healing nicely, but it takes a long time, and the Bikram heat just isn't the right thing for a swollen, healing appendage. That has meant no yoga for the first few weeks, and then being restricted to some basic stretches and breathing execises at home. I miss the community, the sense of building on other peoples' energy and strength that I get in group practice, and I was nourished to join the teacher and two others holding long, slow, challenging poses in an extended floor series last night.
During my hiatus, people told me to do any yoga I could manage — even if it was just mindful breathing at my desk at work, or listening to recordings of asanas while lying still on my mat. One tool I turned to was this video of Seane Corn, which I watched in my early recovery, when I could barely hobble to the kitchen.
Corn reminds us that the yoga we do on the mat is only part of the story, and that yoga is not only for beautiful, young bodies. That's a message also underscored by our program with Matthew Sanford, who was rendered a paraplegic at the age of 13 after a car accident. His unique experience of the mind-body connection, and the lessons about inhabiting his entire body, is related in Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence.
Even a temporary disability like the one I am now impatiently enduring has an effect on one's sense of self, of one's personal power, and one's vulnerability. The "spiritual technology" of yoga, these teachers help us understand, gives us a way to be more fully ourselves, whatever our physical strength or limitation might be.
What's your practice? How do you bring body, mind, and spirit into alignment?
I Am Not As Devout
Mitch Hanley, Senior Producer
I am not as devout a yoga practitioner as my colleagues, Kate and Krista, but I usually do about 20 minutes of yoga after a half hour on the elliptical — don't ask me how often THAT happens. Actually, it is exactly 20:27, during which I go through a series of poses that I learned from a few yoga classes as well as a some instructional DVDs. I have an iTunes playlist on my computer called "Mitch-Yoga" that I put on and I know that I will start when the music starts and stop when it is done, measuring the time spent on each pose to where I am on the playlist. It is interesting to see if I am rushing through it or if I am necessarily taking my time.
Well here are the rest. The first track is Bebel Gilberto's "All Around," have a listen:
2. "Madman's Honey" performed by Wire
3. "Ceu Distante" performed by Bebel Gilberto
4. "The Boy with the Gun" performed by David Sylvian
5. "Maria" performed by David Sylvian
I don't think this is for everyone, but it does put me in a place that helps me relax and get into my body. What do you like to listen to while you do yoga? Silence?
Confessions of a Yoga Convert
Krista Tippett, Host
Kate got me into yoga — coming in day after day last fall glowing from Bikram. Bikram was too hot for me, literally, but I discovered "Core Power" soon after and was hooked. And grateful. Kate is thinking of posting a photo of herself in corpse pose. It doesn't occur to me to do something like that, as I am incredibly word-centric. And that is part of the reason yoga is fantastically healing for me. I came off a long stretch of years of writing my book where I was desperate for a break from the thoughts in my head. Yoga has taken me out of my head. Rather, more accurately, it has helped me center myself, including the thoughts in my head, in my body. This is a relief, practically a whole new life.
As I've grown into this practice, I've experienced other intriguing epiphanies. About six months in on a very regular routine, I experienced a surge of energy. This was nearly overwhelming for a few weeks; I was sleeping several hours less than normal and waking up energized. It was as though yoga had unblocked or tapped more energy than my metabolism knew what to do with. And after about a month, that stabilized, settled down. I also went through a period a few months in of a deep, visceral, unnamable sadness. I've written in my book and done radio about my history of clinical depression; and for someone who has struggled with depression, sadness can be scary. But this felt natural and safe somehow. The scary part was that it eluded words and conscious analysis; I could not think it through. As it was arising in my body, I sensed it would have to work its way out of my body. And it did. I do speak about this with Seane Corn in our interview, something I'd been looking forward to.
There's a lot of talk in yoga about taking the practice "off the mat" — letting its lessons infuse daily life. I didn't notice this immediately, and the ways I find it happening now are quite mundane. But they're still powerful; they are reordering some of the ways I approach what is mundane. So, for example, I've always been driven and goal-oriented. But in flow yoga, every transition is as important as every finished pose; and grace in transitions is as important as getting the final poses right. Somewhat to my surprise, I find that I'm able (sometimes, not all the time!) to spend more time and care on graceful transitioning and processing as on final products in other parts of my life. This is liberating — it's like I've been missing whole stages of experience, at an ordinary level, all my life.
Finally, I also see the deepest lessons of yoga taking hold on me as I go lighter rather than harder on myself as I in fact become more advanced. This is perhaps the first passionate endeavor in my life in which I am absolutely content that I don't have to be great or best or always better. I take as much pleasure in slow poses as in fast; I cut myself slack when I'm tired or distracted. I let messy, inconsistent life be what it is. I learn to delight in my body just as it is, at 47. And this does somehow translate into being easier on everything and everyone else around me. For a lifelong perfectionistic over-achiever, this is a seismic step forward into wisdom. I'm amazed to find this practice helping me literally embody many of the great spiritual teachings of my own faith and those that inspire me in others. So I'm grateful to Kate, and grateful to all the sages and practitioners who kept this spiritual technology alive for something like 5,000 years so that I and other 21st-century mortals could discover it when we need it most.
Breathe, and Everything Changes
by Kate Moos, managing producer
I am, perhaps, a yoga cliché. A mid-50s, bookish, somewhat perfectionist, slightly workaholic sort of person who had begin to wonder if that modest but persistent pain in her left hip was innocuous and temporary or whether my body was just deciding to ache, possibly forever.
Then, almost precisely a year and a half ago, I quit smoking after a life-long habit, and 4 months later I took my first Bikram yoga class. It's been something of a conversion experience, honestly. Bikram involves a fixed 90-minute regimen of 26 asanas or postures, two sets of each posture, performed in a room heated to 105 degrees. The heat increases flexibility, and it also puts the cardiovascular system into overdrive, and creates a kind of peak experience for even a novice practitioner.
The goal of my first class, as a person who had never practiced yoga, let alone yoga in such heat, was simply to keep up as best I could and not leave the room. I succeeded at that, though I felt I might expire or possibly throw up; the sense of centered physical and spiritual well-being that came over me after that first class was so astonishing, I have gone back 3 or 4 times a week ever since, acclimating to the heat, and thriving on the yoga. My experience of Bikram yoga is almost liturgical — the 90-minute regimen offers the same Sanskrit postures in the same order, and even the same directions from the instructors — echoing the Latin liturgy of my Catholic girlhood in a powerful, almost sub-molecular way.
It goes without saying that yoga creates physical strength and wellness — I no longer experience chronic neck pain from sitting slouched for long hours over a computer keyboard, and I don't see a chiropractor every 3-4 weeks to adjust my lower back any more. The pain in my hip went away. Yet yoga most importantly brings me actual revelations — revelations that start as a new physical experience and then seep into consciousness.
About three months in, I started being able to perform a full camel posture, which means I was greatly increasing the strength and flexibility of my back, and was also opening my chest and my hips. But on a more interior level, the effect of the camel is spiritually profound. A regular practice that includes the camel posture changes my perspective; it helps me open my mind to new ideas — the very ideas where my mind has been closed; it makes it possible to give up resentments; it occasionally causes me to express grief I thought was done and past: the death of a parent, the loss of a love. I don't mean that I cry in my yoga class (though I have had a few quiet sobs surface after a camel pose once or twice), or that this is therapy. I don't, and it's not. I mean that if you engage vigorously with this "ancient technology," as Krista calls it in the show, the yoga will in fact diagnose your imbalances — physical, emotional, and intellectual — and gently, incrementally, begin to correct them.
There have been times in my life when as a spiritual seeker and a somewhat but not entirely lapsed Catholic I have felt deeply separate from God, whatever my inchoate concept of God was at the time. The most painful and dangerous (to myself and to others) distance from God I have ever known has come through the experience of addiction. Then, at some point in my recovery I had the simple insight that I was unable to experience the love of God because I was not putting myself in the way of it. After all, if you want to feel the sun on your back, you have to stand in the sunlight, yes? At the most basic level, I feel yoga puts me in the way of God. Then, what happens, happens.
In the picture above, snapped with an iPhone after a class this past Tuesday evening, I am practicing the corpse pose. What the instructor calls "the most important posture in the series." Being fully, deeply relaxed, focused, and cognizant of one's body allows the teaching of yoga to settle in and take hold. This is what Seane Corne calls "mystical work."
SoundSeen: Titling a Show on Seane Corn's Yoga
Trent Gilliss, Online Editor
In between the interviewing and scripting, the SOF staff congregates for two editorial sessions where we hash out the details of each week's program. The first — which we call cuts and copy — can be really rough around the edges; the second — which we call the final listen — is more of a fine tweaking of script changes, music selections, Web language, and, at times, we're still coming up with a title for the episode.
This happens to be the case for our upcoming show on yoga as conveyed through the experience of instructor Seane Corn (I dig her Jersey accent!). We regularly struggle at naming each program, especially because there are various approaches to it: an apt description of the content, a clever literary device, a poetic encapsulation, a highlight of an outstanding idea, keywords that trigger curiosity, etc.
But, the title has multiple purposes. It's spoken by Krista in the radio and podcast; it populates the subject line of our e-mail newsletter and browser title; it complements the feature image for the program Web site and all sorts of data in third-party vendors like iTunes, Google, Facebook, last.fm, Yahoo, and so on. Can one title serve all masters? Probably not. But, in the end, we just want people to listen to the show so we're trying to take a more direct approach in front-loading the words or ideas that will appeal to you and others. See what we came up with.
I'd love to hear where you stand on our titles, or if you have thoughts of your own. I'm open to advice. Cheers.

Orb rallied through the center of the stretch to win the Kentucky Derby (above). He will try to score a second classic win on Saturday in the Preakness, this time starting from post position one. (Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire)
After his Derby win, the following appeared in our blog about Orb's chances in the Preakness:
You can talk about horses all you want, the biggest threat to Orb's hopes in the Preakness seemingly has little to do with his competition. As proven in all four of his wins in 2013, this horse needs to be outside where he gets a clear run – a bad (inside) draw, along with the right (wrong) combination of competitors around him, could spell trouble for the impressive Derby winner.
And then, in the blink of an eye on Wednesday, the Kentucky Derby winner was installed as an even-money favorite for the Preakness, drawn against the pine in post position one at Old Hilltop.
Is it terrible? No.
Is it ideal? No.
Is the draw, alone, the greatest likely impediment to Orb winning the Preakness? Yes.
Orb has covered more ground in his four wins this year than any almost every other horse in those races. He has a long, fluid stride, which has been allowed to flow freely with the benefit of wide runs, out in the clear and away from trouble. In some ways, Orb remains "untested," in that he has always covered extra ground but never really had to overcome any significant trouble in running. We don't know if Orb is indeed an equine Superman. The Preakness could go part of the way in answering that question.
As much as this blog has harped on the fact that "ground loss matters," it is always necessary to remind that the running styles of certain horses dictate that wider can be better on occasion. For the most part, ground loss matters because in many of the tracks where Trakus is installed, studies of data in aggregate have shown that the average winner DOES cover the shortest trip. Say what you want about horses racing in the clear, out of trouble. When the average winner is covering a shorter trip than the average second-place finisher - straight on down through the also-rans - saving ground is a good thing.
But Orb isn't the average horse, and the Preakness isn't the average race.
The chances of Orb getting in trouble in the Preakness are amplified by the draw but mitigated by the smaller field size and the presence of several horses expected to go forward to certify a solid pace (Govenor Charlie, Goldencents, Titletown Five). The strong early gallop in the Kentucky Derby was identified as one of the reasons the race was relatively clean, with really only Will Take Charge encountering a move-stopping hindrance in the form of a tiring Verrazano.
On paper, the Preakness's expected pace should certify that Joel Rosario can maneuver Orb to their preferred spot in the clear at some point.
Horse racing is a superb experience, and vexing topics such as this make racing all the more fun to follow. The near two minutes of the Preakness, and the hours of build-up to the race, leave us with a mind-bending tease in Baltimore. Good luck and enjoy!
