Added! I hadn't heard of the EZLN, cheers for that.
You have way too much time on your hands. You could be looking for my ancestors over there to prove we really aren't related.
Man I buy coffee from them on a regular base to help them :p
Another add-worth article (again medicine. . . I`m soooooo into this topic :love: )
Ectopia cordis | You get fuckin born with your fuckin heart on the outside of your body. FUCK
List of Phobias | Self-explaining
My dad is a retired nurse who worked primarily with deformed and educationally subnormal kids, so he's given me a few things to look up.
The first is Harlequin-type ichthyosis, but the article doesn't contain any actual pictures, so here are a few (they're pretty horrendous; be prepared):
I saw this defect on a gore site at first - a home video showing close-ups of a baby with this condition. I assumed it was fake for many years. Here's a similar video clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im0ohYH5zCU [Kinda upsetting]
Donohue syndrome, aka Leprechaunism, is added too. Again, no pics in the article, so here are a couple (nothing too upsetting here):
Hurler syndrome is something I experienced first hand, a few kids in my neighbourhood had it and they were well-known/loved by pretty much everyone and were quite happy/contented all the time. Kids with this condition don't live too long though, I still remember when each of them died. Life's rather unfair.
Apert syndrome is added too, which causes malformation of the skull.
Encephalocele, aka cranium bifidum, is when the baby is born with its brain on the outside. Article added!
*mind blown*
Not really. 500g about $7 :D
Man hti is probably the disease that brought me into the topic of pathology etc. (along with Carcass of course...). It's just extremely fascinating how your body can deform by those soooooo small parts of your cells :love:
You ever heard of this one, Gomli?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinterkaifeck I love that one.
I love a lot of the uber-paranormal ones, silly or not, like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grinning_Man
There are a couple favorites I used to have but cant fucking remember the names for the life of me. One was about some Polish (or was he French? Might have been French) dude back in the early 20th century that had some extremely rare condition where he had to constantly gorge himself with food every few hours and if he didn't, he'd begin to starve. In his most desperate times he was known to eat herds of cats (usually while alive), screws, clothing, and even once, allegedly, a baby (a hospital he was staying at had a baby go missing. He was skinny, too. If anyone can find me this I will be forever in love with them.
EDIT: Paddy helped me find it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrare and, another:
Another great one was about some house in the midwest (I believe) that had some really interesting extraterrestrial activity. Err.
I found a clip on YouTube of Omayra Sánchez (article above) and I'm holding back tears...
Omayra Sánchez: "Please, I want to say some words"
Male voice: "Yes, go ahead"
Omayra Sánchez: "Mother, if you are listening, I think you are. Pray so I can walk and these people can help me. Mama, I love you very much; papa, brother. Goodbye mother."
Jesus Christ. I hope I have the balls this kid had when I'm about to die.
EDIT: Added your suggestions Dylster.
Nothing Japan does is short of over-the-top weirdness. Their serial killers are really setting the bar:
Oh my god I know! The article on Aum Shinrikyo just blew my mind, they sound so fucking cool.*
*in a crazy way, I'm not joining any time soon.
EDIT: Also added an article about Oxana Malaya, a girl raised by dogs, and an article on feral children in general. Oxana is an interesting character:
Yeah but I think it's boring :D
Check out :
Fritz Haarmann (classic) | Warte noch ein Weilchen, dann kommt Haarmann auch zu dir...
Armin Meiwes | SICK SICK SICK bastard. Cut off the penis of a dude and ate it together with him
YOU'RE BORING! I think I really like it because of its peculiar evidence, paranormalness and unsolvedendence. I actually don't really believe in ghosts or much paranormal shit, but I find the idea and stories fascinating.
I had never heard of this Armin Meiwes fellow. Pretty interesting. What I find more interesting, however, is the psychology that goes on in someone who wants to be eaten and goes that far with it. Where does it come from? Why? How prevalent is such a condition?
Added the Fritzl (Josef Fritzl) case article. Bobbi, check your genealogy notes, I think you may be Austrian.
Ever heard of the three instances of a personlaity, defined by Sigmund Freud? Should give you some answers if you're in that topic ;) I'm in such a,lucky position I got psychology at school
Here are a couple of screen captures from the Meiwes video, but be warned that they're pretty graphic:
I wonder if Armin had any experience as a butcher, he seems to know what he's doing here.

Oddsmakers expect Florida State to beat Northern Illinois in the 2013 Orange Bowl by double digits.
The Seminoles got out and ran against Maine in a blowout win on Sunday, a potential sign of things to come.
Northern Illinois, the BCS busting surprise of the 2012 college football season, has sold roughly 5,500 tickets to the Orange Bowl, while Florida State has sold just 4,000.
Florida State has eight trips to the Orange Bowl in school history, but it hasn't always been a joyous occasion. The school lost their first two trips to the bowl, both against Oklahoma, and they...
The Florida State Seminoles have scheduled a game against the Idaho Vandals for the 2013 football season. It'll be the first time in program history that these two teams have met.
Florida St. Seminoles running backs coach Eddie Gran is expected to leave the Seminoles' coaching staff. The coach was known as a great recruiter in the South Florida area for the Seminoles.
Despite the fact that the Orange Bowl is held in Florida, Northern Illinois has distributed more tickets so far than Florida State has.
Florida State's recruiting efforts could be boosted by their appearance in the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day, their second game in Miami this season.
The Florida State Seminoles will be able to showcase themselves in front of the talented prep players in South Florida when they head to Miami for the 2013 Orange Bowl.
Justin Edwards and the Seminoles cruised past the Black Bears on Sunday.

In a twist of irony, the Unix platform celebrates its 40th birthday this year, as does the man whose work probably has done more to diminish the trendiness of Unix than anyone else: Linux founder Linus Torvalds.
Linux and Windows Server outsell Unix by volume. Indeed, given all the attention Windows and the open source Linux platform get, the battle for the mainstream server market can sometimes appear to be a duel between just these two platforms. Unix often seems like yesterday's -- or even last decade's -- news.
[ Unix may still have a future after 40 years, but the prognosis may not be so good for Solaris. See InfoWorld's report "Is Sun Solaris on its deathbed?" | Get the scoop on the new Windows Server 2008 R2 in the InfoWorld Test Center review. ]
But hold off on any Unix memorial service just yet.
Unix remains a vital cog in enterprise IT and can be expected to remain so for years to come. Figures such as Oracle CEO Larry Ellison attest to its maturity. In a recent public appearance, Ellison endorsed both Linux and the Solaris Unix OS that Oracle wants to acquire as part of its planned $7.4 billion purchase of Sun Microsystems: "We are a supporter of Linux but Solaris is the more mature OS."
A Hewlett-Packard official chimes in that Unix would have a long life similar to how mainframes have continued to thrive. "I haven't seen mainframes [go] away and people were predicting their demise, what, 10, 20 years ago," says Brian Cox, director of software planning and marketing in the HP business-critical systems group. One reason: Unix offers deep integration and higher quality of service, says Satya Sharma, CTO for IBM's AIX-based Power systems.
Unix: A stable but consolidating market
A sampling of Gartner server shipment numbers does show Unix trailing Linux and Windows Server, as the chart below shows. (If the chart is not visible, you can see it in the original story at InfoWorld.com.)
Unix shipments went from 670,458 units shipped in 2006 to 437,414 units in 2009, with a slight uptick to 451,593 units anticipated in 2012. Linux server shipments for those same years read like this: 1,911,906 units in 2006, 1,682,633 units in 2009, and 1,980,532 units in 2012. Windows Server shipments total 5,416,453 units in 2006, 4,947,891 units in 2009, and 5,699,810 units in 2012. (The marketplace as a whole suffered from the current recession, thus the down numbers for all platforms.) For 2014, Gartner projects Linux shipments of 2,174,334 units, Windows shipments of 6,313,292, and Unix shipments of 474,993.
A user of all three platforms vouches for the maturity of Unix. "It's really at the core of every one of our enterprise systems," says Paul Sikora, vice president of IT transformation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which runs Unix for its Oracle and cache databases. Unix offers mature redundancy and clustering capabilities, and software vendors are comfortable with their software running on Oracle and Unix, Sikora says.

Title: After the Attacks: Protecting Borders and Liberties
Original name: PolicyBrief8.pdf
Source: UNKNOWN SOURCE
This Carnegie Endowment for International Peace report explores immigration issues in the wake of 9/11. The author argues, "to combat terrorism, the United States must strengthen the weak links in its immigration system. This effort should concentrate on prevention by improving visa screening and admission decisions, the country's first line of defense."

This collection, Bob Hope is Dead, recounts Bret Falk's thirty year love affair with American Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism. His paintings were influenced by the work of the major artists of Bret's time, and they're all here: Jackson Pollock's drips and spills; Roy Lichtenstein's pulp comic book style; Andy Warhol's high-contrast masterpieces exalting the mundane; Jenny Holzer's profound and public text messaging; Ed Ruscha's deadpan irreverence; Jasper Johns' "Map"; the bold color pallete of Mark Rothko; Robert Rauschenberg's embrace of found materials; the bright colors and graffiti accessibility of Keith Haring; the minimalist school of Ellsworth Kelly; the hard-edged sensibility of Frank Stella; and finally the proto-pop cubism of Stuart Davis.
Bob Hope is Dead tracks Falk's artistic development as he moves through several phases into a style all his own. Call it ironic pop: trenchant wit in vibrant color. Despite his productivity -- this book catalogs at least 75 works -- Bret never sold any paintings, instead preferring to give them away as wedding presents and at baby showers, or to a surprised friend who had just complimented his work.
Bret Falk died in 2006, just after his 48th birthday.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Knoxville officials are letting a would-be Spider-Man off the hook.
City Law Director Charles Swanson says a citation against street performer Justin Webb for wearing a Spider-Man costume and mask while hanging around Market Square won't be prosecuted.
Webb told the Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/15rUwgC ) he appreciates the case being dropped and allows him to focus on his performance.
Webb says he's working on two new costumes - the Lizard and Dr. Octopus. And, he raised the prospect of a costumed friend joining him soon.
"We can put together a downtown fight scene," Webb said.

We need to start using the word female instead of woman. Woman is patriarchal word—
Roseanne Barr (@TheRealRoseanne) November 08, 2012
Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of defeat, fifth-place presidential candidate Roseanne Barr took to Twitter to announce a new political cause. Surely, such a great mind would have big ideas moving forward, unencumbered by the constraints of leading the free world. Or not.
Replace "woman" with "female"? Do we really need to tell you what happened next?
@TheRealRoseanne well that's fucking ridiculous—
Aaron (@ridgway15) November 08, 2012
@TheRealRoseanne That's among the dumbest things I have ever read, and my feed is far from intellectually challenging.—
Ben Stapleton (@benstapleton) November 09, 2012
@TheRealRoseanne Roseanne you should stop trying to be an influential feminist. this is the 5th dumbest thing you've ever said.—
lauren (@catches_sars) November 08, 2012
What are the other four? Then again, there is quite a menu to choose from.
@Into_the_Never @TheRealRoseanne female makes us sound like specimens and not humans. I don't know a single feminist that is ok w/ "females"—

@TheRealRoseanne know your place female. Ya that works, I usually tell my hubby "know your place woman" but I can change…—
angela dammann (@angeladammann) November 09, 2012
@TheRealRoseanne Female sounds so scientific though… and we use the word man, so woman would be the same.—
Dawn Jones (@Into_the_Never) November 08, 2012
like it's already actually a thing, calling women "females" like we're not the same species? @TheRealRoseanne—
PURR IDEOLOGY (@heySMM) November 09, 2012
@TheRealRoseanne Come on now this is the kind of thing that makes people not take feminists seriously.—
Krystal Goff (@Kg_Dog) November 09, 2012
@TheRealRoseanne female is an adjective not a noun. #petpeeve—
Jeff Schoop (@jschoop) November 09, 2012
Oh well, at least we're glad that Roseanne is coping well with her loss. However, all of the male Twitchy staffers would like to gently remind Ms. Barr that our wives and girlfriends would beat us to a bloody pulp if we downgraded them from "women"" to "females." Just a thought.

Anastasia Korbal Stars in Media Theatre's THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, Now thru 2/16
The Media Theatre is producing the 1997 adaptation of the legendary play "The Diary of Anne Frank" today, January 29 to February 16, 2014. Wendy Kesselman adapted the play when it was revived on Broadway, based on the original text by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The revival was nominated for several Tony awards.
The fact-based show is based on the writings of Anne Frank composed in her journal during the two years her family was hidden from the Nazis in war-torn Amsterdam.
In the Kesselman adaptation newly discovered writings from Anne's diary are interwoven, as well as survivor accounts.
Jesse Cline directs The Media Theatre's production which features a cast of Actors Equity Association members. Anastasia Korbal, of New Jersey, will portray Anne Frank. The 14 year old actress has appeared in three National Tours, including "Les Miserables", "Little House On The Prairie", and "Annie". Her credits also include "Oklahoma!", "The Miracle Worker", "The Secret Garden", and "Gypsy".
Dana Gitlin will take on the role of Margot, Anne's sister. Gitlin has been seen in National Tours of "Hair" and "Virtually Me!". She is and NYU graduate who also attended Carnegie Mellon.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank will be played by Paul Dake and Margaret DeAngelis. The roles of Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan will be brought to life by Scott Langdon and Anne Connors, who appeared together in Cline's production of "Mame" recently.
Sarah Lynn Dewey will be Miep, the secretary who helps to hide the Frank family. Terrence Gleeson will be Mr. Kraler, with P. Brendan Mulvey as Dussell.
The vital role of teen Peter van Daan, who shares a first kiss with Anne Frank, will be double cast. Owen Mannion, who has been studying at The Media Theatre for five years, has his first professional performance in the role. He shares the role with Austy Hicks, who is currently wowing audiences as youngest brother Benjamin in Cline's "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".
Cline says, "Both of the young men playing Peter define the best of what we do here. We cultivate young talent with proper training and allow them the opportunity to work with professionals who treat them as equals. Both have bright futures ahead of them."
He looks forward to the production. "The cast, all of them, are top notch and perfect for the roles," he said. "It's an important show with relevant themes."

Last, but not least, for No Doubt's reunion tour is LD Butch Allen's lighting design. Working with creative director Ray Woodbury, Allen created a design that complemented the 48'x 22' WinVision 8mm LED wall with Barco/High End Systems Showbeams 2.5, Vari-Lite VL3500 Wash units, and VL3000 Profiles. Lighting the set from within, under the drum kit and cone were Philips/Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12s, while Elation Impressions were also used from underneath the stage, as well as on the upstage truss. In addition, parts of the set were under-lit with densely packed Acclaim X-tubes, while the over-stage trusses was loaded with Martin Stagebars (both pixel-mapped to appear as low-res video elements). DL.3s also painted the stage with video or extended content out into the audience.

About | StartSmart | WorkSmart | Volunteers/Trainers
Over the course of her working life, a woman will earn roughly $1 million less than a man – simply because she is a woman.
StartSmart and WorkSmart are two programs developed by Wage Project, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the reduction or end of the gender wage gap. A woman in the workforce may lose $1.2 million over the course of her life (with consequences following her into retirement) if she does not take action to ensure that she is getting what is owed her, a comparable wage/salary.
These programs provide participants with information about how to determine comparable salaries in their field and geographic area, and further provides them with negotiating skills and an opportunity to negotiate a comparable wage/salary through a highly engaging role-playing exercise. Because research has shown that women don't negotiate salaries when hired, and don't ask for raises and promotions, the negotiation piece of these workshops is essential.

Update: English subtitled trailer has arrived. Watch below.
Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan is back this year with "Laurence Anyways," and while some have criticized his films for putting style before substance (this writer disagrees), there is no denying it is tremendously exciting to see such a young director go balls out, with carefully crafted, deeply evocative images. And this lengthy, three-minute trailer for his new film (French only, sorry) shows that once again, he's going to be putting some utterly gorgeous imagery up on screen.
Starring Melvil Poupad, Nathalie Baye, Suzanne Clement and Monia Chokri, his latest is set in 1989 (the year Dolan was born; note the garish set and costume design), and centers on Laurence (Poupaud), who reveals on his 30th birthday his secret desire to become a woman. His girlfriend is shocked, but agrees to stay by his side, and the next year Laurence goes back to working as a professor where he teaches literature -- only this time as a woman. A new life begins, but the weight of social stigma, family rejection and the incompatibility of the couple become toxic.
Even if you can't grasp the language, the drama inherent in the story is plainly visible, and given the subject matter, this looks like a powder keg of emotion. "Laurence Anyways" is expected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and will open this spring in Quebec. No U.S. distribution has been lined up yet. Oh, and the song in the trailer is "A New Error" by Moderat which we've embedded below as well. [Nightlife]

I came across his film heartbeats randomly one night. I was impressed, highly impressed. I look forward to this.
jingmei | March 15, 2012 11:09 PM
Nice post, merci. The film's title kinda awesome, for whatever or to be whoever "anyways", damn it. Et if for Melvil Poupad this hot French star to play a trans-gender human, c'est juste awesome. Et the background music is cool indeed.

4/5 rDev -0.7%
From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume III, Issue II:
Massive and dense cream-colored head, completely hazy orange-amber color that is most likely from the amount of hops used and obviously not filtered. Big whiffs in the nose of mango, ruby red grapefruit and lime zest from the hops, then there is a bit more fruitiness from the alcohol and a hint of toasted biscuit from the malt. Smooth and bitty with a creamy, slick mouthfeel and a medium to full body. The hops pop with a slightly coarse bite, pleasant but rough around the edges. Big toasted cracker maltiness throughout lays down a solid foundation. Hops stay dominant for the most part with a heavy- handed flavor that keeps on dropping citrus rind, hemp seed oil and blond tobacco flavors. The alcohol comes through after several sips to let you know it's there; warmth and a ripe fruitiness hit middle to end. Finishes bittersweet with a thick layer of hop flavor that sticks to the taste buds.
There is no fine line separating IPAs and Double IPAs, so this ends up being a hefty American IPA, a lovely one at that. Old-school rough-and-tumble style with hop bitterness and flavor fighting it out, and the blatant unfiltered look. If "punk rock" was a beer, it would be HopArt IPA.

3.95/5 rDev -2%
Pours into my glass a super hazed dark orange with a half inch of creamy bone white head on top that leaves spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas are a mix of pine, grass and citrus upfront with herbal accents. Slightly spicy with a caramel and mild grainy kick.
First sip brings a mix of pine and citrus fruits upfront with spicy herbal hop oils. Slightly grassy it is met by a solid creamy malt featuring caramel and a light toast. Flows down and finishes with a solid bitter kick but is well balanced overall. A tasty IPA.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth with a great body that goes down easy. Overall, a tasty IPA that brings the hops but doesn't go overboard. Glad I had a chance to try it and thanks to RyanC84 for the opportunity.

A murky orange like a forming dawn sits with suds slipping down the sides of the glass. It's a beautiful IPA. Heady hops drip on the lacy sides. Kudos for the HopArt HopArt sticker! The only thing boring is the bottle cap.
Smells balanced, about which I'm uncertain because I yearn for more hop. It smells good an organic--there's a 'naturalness' to the nose and the taste. It's like perfectly balanced! It's odd. The taste is definitive (east coast) IPA: smooth assertive malt with leafy, earthy hop cones to it. This is a well-crafted beer.
Do I consider it in context of East Side IPAs or all IPAs? The category reads "American IPA" so I side with only the good side of great. Like other vegetation, there's factors within that west coast climate that provide its products an unfair advantage. Minus any sense of citrus, the beer feels good.
HopArt's a pretty awesome beer, and Coast is a pretty awesome brewery. Cheers!

Hazy amber color with an off-white head with decent retention and lacing. Light grapefruit and biscuit aromas. Seemed kind of light in the aroma department. Some grapefruit, a touch of lemon, and some biscuit in the taste. Light body with medium carbonation. A decent beer, but seemed like a Pale Ale with the alcohol of a IIPA.

I've had this a couple of times. It's good. It has a amber red appearance. On the last one, the smell was a bit muted for an IPA. The taste was a little sweeter with a big carmel taste. It might be because of the higher ABV. I had a good mouthfeel with good carbonation. Overall, I felt it was a good representation just not one of my favorites.

22oz into a snifter. Bottled less than a week ago on 1/17/10.
A: Ruby red grapefruit with a healthy head and lots of lacing. I am almost finished and the head has survived the entire 22oz.
S: Sweet, resin-like hops. Very earthy.
T: Brief initial sweetness then very bitter hops. Lots of grapefruit bite in the mouth. Finish is very dry, this is quite a hoppy beer. Reminds me a little of Ruination, but not quite that bitter.
M: Nice carbonation, solid mouthfeel.
D: Drinkability is decent, but the bitterness will take a toll on your palate. I think I need some water before my next pour.
I'm grateful to have tried this one so fresh. It is an excellent beer, and I think it would fit better as a DIPA than an American IPA. Its ABV (7.7%) matches other well known DIPAs, and the flavor will easily match up to the big boys.

Bottle poured into a GI tulip
A - Hazy, glowing orange with light carbonation. Huge white foamy head that left nice lacing as it settle down
S - Strong citrus nose with orange, tangerine and pineapple. There is a slight sweet malt backbone as well that you pick up in the nose
T - Bitter pine hits you initally before the orange peel and tangerine comes through in the middle. There is a nice malt backbone that gives it a slight caramel sweetness. The finish is bitter as pine and grapefruit linger on. Well balanced betweenmalt and hops and actually reminds me of a slightly more bitter Dreadnaught
MF - Medium body with a lot of carbonation to make it full and smooth. Has a nice hop resin that remains on the tongue in the finish.
O - A delicious almost DIPA like IPA that has a strong bitter hop presence with enough of a malt backbone to keep it balanced. Definitely pick up a bottle if you see it!

Got this on-tap at Charleston Beer Works in Charleston, SC.
Pours a very cloudy light copper color with a one-finger white head that dissipates into a wispy layer of bubbles on top. Lacing is very sticky.
The biggest smell is the bitterness. There are also some sweet malt and citrus aromas.
Tastes great. Solid hop flavors, very robust citrus and bitter notes throughout. The backbone of the beer is the sweet maltiness. Everything works together very well.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a solid thickness, and the carbonation is just right. Slides down very smoothly.
This is a very drinkable beer. Nothing is too overpowering, and as the bitter flavor increases throughout the sip it gets better and better.
Overall I was very happy while drinking this beer. Done very well, and seeing the 7.7% ABV surprised me, I would not have guessed it was that high. Definitely worth a shot.

Review from notes. Thanks to Jay for opening.
A: Pours a nice orange/copper color with a one finger off-white head. Decent lacing down the sides.
S: Some citrus aromas, mostly grapefruit and pineapple, with a good bit of caramel and bready malt.
T: Kind if a disappointment actually, not as hoppy as I was hoping. Not bad at all, just a bit on the malty side. Lots of caramel, graham cracker, and some bready malt. There was a little bit of citrus mixed in.
M: Medium bodied, slightly grainy, moderate carbonation with a slightly dry/sticky finish.
O: Had higher hopes having already sampled Boy King. Not sure on the age of the bottle, so would love to try it again based off other reviews.

Last week, it was reported that Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn might be getting involved in a group looking to buy the San Diego Padres.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, he is not the only famous San Diego athlete looking to do this; now golfer Phil Mickelson could be forming a group to buy his hometown team:
The second-leading money-winner in professional golf history has joined four of the grandchildren of former Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley and provided the out-of-town partnership with an iconic local investor.
Three years after resisting the ownership overtures of Jeff Moorad, Mickelson says he's now ready to take a stake in San Diego's major-league baseball franchise.
"I've had the opportunity to invest in other sports franchises, and I've turned it down in the past," Mickelson said Monday morning. "This was a unique opportunity with families that had done this before and know how to do it right and want to get involved in the community."
Mickelson and the O'Malley family could form a potent combination to bring the Padres back to contention. And Mickelson says he'd welcome Gwynn into his group:
"If we were able to get control, (Gwynn) would be the first person we'd want to get involved," Mickelson said. "He's such an icon with the team. Hopefully, it won't be combative."
Current majority owner John Moores might be looking for more than the $530 million he had hoped to get three years ago, given the recent sale of the Dodgers for more than $2 billion.
Those are huge dollar amounts, almost too much to wrap your mind around. But they are happening, and likely will continue as baseball franchise values soar due primarily to big-money TV deals like the one the Dodgers have, and the Padres recently signed.

Stop-light shockers
I have become convinced that the Jamaican stop light is in many ways a microcosm of the Jamaican society. Now that the Olympics euphoria is waning (and please don't label me a doomsayer, I am a realist), as a nation in crisis we need to come to terms with our major faults, one of which is indiscipline emboldened by a high level of intolerance.
Breaking the stop light is a major national pastime. It is the macho thing to do: "Get out of the way, you wimp!" Amber means accelerate with much gusto. And if red is on and the way is clear, why wait? Statistically, it should be interesting to know how many mishaps occur at stop lights. Numerous, no doubt.
Then there are the morons who at the very moment that the light changes to green they honk their horns in a most aggressive manner. And if you hesitate after such an unexpected cacophony, the impatient driver behind you manages to edge past you, all the while hurling at you some choice "bad words" as well as telling you that you are an idiot. I well recall this elderly woman driver who inadvertently crashed into the back of the vehicle in front of her after a truck driver behind her blared his horn so menacingly after the lights changed to green sending her into a state of panic.
In the meantime, my heart-stopping experiences at stop lights in Montego Bay have sufficiently convinced me that we need to introduce jaywalking legislation in this country. Most pedestrians disobey the stop-light signals totally, just sauntering across the road and daring the unsuspecting motorist to "lick me nuh, if you think you bad"! I well recall driving through a green light when this pregnant young woman with a baby on her arm just lumbered seemingly aimlessly into the street. When I tooted my horn, she simply stared at me defiantly and went on her merry way as I braked frantically.
Incidentally, the National Works Agency needs to revisit some of the traffic-light arrangements in Montego Bay, as in some cases the sequences are detrimental to both pedestrians and motorists. There is one particular intersection at Church and St James streets where the light signalling pedestrians to cross comes on at the same time when motorists are given the green light! If this is not a recipe for tragedy, you tell me! And this scenario has been there for a long time. The end result is that pedestrians and motorists continue to compete with each other. Luckily, there have been no fatalities so far, but if this situation is allowed to continue, then as my late mother would say ominously, "Any number can play."
Stop lights are the favourite haunts for newspaper vendors as well as various other purveyors of goods (and even services) who sell "from a pin to an anchor". There are also the beggars who have been on the increase, not to mention the mentally insane, some of whom can be most hostile. The most frequent stop-light hustler, however, is the perennial windscreen wiper. These are unemployed or out-of-school young men who seek to make a living by wiping windshields. Some of them are very courteous and will back off if the motorist indicates that he or she is not interested in having his or her windshield cleaned. But there are the aggressive ones who wipe your windshield whether you like it or not, then demand to be paid. And if they are not rewarded, you are likely to be subject to verbal abuse and even threat of physical harm. Usually, it is the drug addicts who become most offensive and dangerous.
One of the most shocking experiences I had was when I paused at a stop-light intersection several months ago on my way from Kingston to Montego Bay. A boy who looked about 10 to 12 years old approached my vehicle and told me that he was very hungry and asked if I could give him some money to buy food. I did not have any coins or available cash to give him, so I said to him very politely and sincerely, "I am so sorry, son, but I can't help you."
His immediate response was "Go s..k you mumma!" I was so shocked I could not move off when the light turned green. An irate and impatient motorist behind me honked his horn and ordered me to "take my what's it warra-it out of the way". Even while I concurred, I was still befuddled as to why that boy had been so rude and out of order. At one stage I even wondered if because I spoke in perfect English he might have thought that I was insulting him. From then on, whenever I encounter such a crisis, I make sure to respond in the language of the streets, "Bwoy, you want see me nuh have nutten pan me enuh, so jus' cool." And the answer usually is, "Awright, pops (or dads), everyting cool."
But I will never forget the angry face of that boy because it reminds me rather forcefully that there are so many like him who are hungry, most times fatherless, living a life without hope and direction. Yes, the same nation that has nurtured a Usain Bolt has also spawned such an individual who might well be destined to become a conman and a gunman.
My latest stop-light shocker came recently when another boy who looked about 14 years old knocked on my car window well after midnight. Hesitatingly, I lowered the window and he quickly said to me, "Sir, you want a nice young girl to go home with you?" pointing to a little miss huddled in a dark corner, "Anything you want," he shouted as I sped off in shock and awe.
Jamaica is at a crossroads. At 50, it is time for "on your marks, get set" but are we ready to go to the finishing line of socio-economic progress? Olympic medals alone will not do it.

Gathering Places
Aboriginal Students' Centre
The Aboriginal Students' Centre prides itself on creating a community within the centre. It is an inclusive gathering space for students to come before, after and between classes to study, use a computer, connect with other students or access services.
Rawlco Resource Centre
The Rawlco Resource Centre at the Edwards School of Business is one of the few dedicated spaces for Aboriginal students in business schools across Canada. Business students can use the centre for studying, group project work, research, meeting classmates and lounging.
Gordon Oakes-Red Bear Student Centre
The Gordon Oakes-Red Bear Student Centre will be an inclusive gathering place where all people—Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal—will come together and learn from one another. Designed by well-known architect Douglas Cardinal, who is of Métis and Blackfoot heritage, the new centre will house both the Aboriginal Students' Centre and the Indigenous Students' Council, with additional space for learning and ceremonies. Construction began on National Aboriginal Day in the summer of 2013.
Aboriginal Events Calendar
Graduation Powwow
For centuries, song and dance has been used to facilitate prayer and thanks giving within Aboriginal cultures—and so, we think a powwow is the perfect setting to celebrate our graduates.
The Graduation Powwow celebrates graduating Aboriginal students from high schools across Saskatchewan as well as our U of S graduates.
Aboriginal Achievement Week
Each year the University of Saskatchewan hosts Aboriginal Achievement Week to celebrate Aboriginal achievement, reflect on traditions and ceremonies, and connect with the community.
Cultural Programming
For more information for any of the events below, contact the Aboriginal Students' Centre directly.
Creative Native Hour
Need to relax? Join us every other week for "Creative Native" where you can learn how to make a variety of traditional crafts or hone your current skills. Being creative helps bring balance to your life. Various crafts including:
- beading
- drum making
- feather art
When: This term every Second Thursday
Where: Aboriginal Students' Centre
Soup and Bannock
Come and meet with different Elders and enjoy a meal of soup and bannock. Food and the sharing of meals is an important part of First Nations culture. First Nations people are generous and traditionally display their wealth by giving away goods, in keeping with this, the ASC hosts Soup and Bannock lunches to honor these traditions.
Due to the fact that the Elders' time on campus is limited, feel free to use the soup and bannock lunches as an opportunity to meet the Elders and arrange for another meeting if need be. The Aboriginal Students' Centre recognizes the uniqueness of different Aboriginal groups, and makes a conscious effort to bring in Elders from different geographic locations, and language groups. Some of the Elders who have been to the ASC include:
- Dexter Asapace
- Stanley Asapace
- Veronica Duquette
- William Duquette
- Maria Linklater
- Walter Linklater
- Ivan Lonechild
- Darlene Speidel
- Donald Speidel
Please bring your own bowl and spoon! To contribute to the long-term health of Mother Earth, we will be phasing out the use of foam bowls and plastic spoons.
When: This term every Wednesday at 12:00-1:30pm
Where: Aboriginal Students' Centre
Monthly Pipe Ceremonies
The pipe ceremony is used for many different reasons such as blessing, honouring, commemorating and paying respect to a deity, or may be held to pray in a humble way. A pipe ceremony is a spiritual time where tobacco is placed into a pipe bowl and prayers are rendered by an Elder/Traditional Knowledge Keeper and blessed by the smudge of sweet grass, sage or cedar.
A pipe ceremony could be 30 minutes to two hours in length depending on the Elder/Traditional Knowledge Keeper and what First Nation they come from. In some areas only men are allowed to smoke the pipe while women observe (Saulteaux/Nahkawē, Cree and Nakota), and in others the pipe is shared with men and women (Lakota, Dakota and Nakota). Some First Nations have women pipe keepers that only the women are allowed to smoke.
When: TBD
Where: Native Law Centre
Sweat Lodge Ceremonies
Participants have their own reasons for participating in a Sweat Lodge ceremony and should undertake the ceremony with positive energies, feelings and emotions. First Nations Elders recommend that each person enters the Sweat Lodge with appropriateness, kindness, and with prayers; the Elders are role models that exemplify this behavior and mindset.
As in any ceremony, appropriate dress and attire is needed. Each Elder may have different practices so please consult with the Elder conducting the ceremony you are attending.
When: This term we will be hosting Sweat Lodges at the end of each academic month.

Marilyn, I highly encourage you to eduucate yourself on this topic before you speak- same sex marriages WILL NOT destory family life. As a matter fact, the 1950/60's model of what consists of a family is destroying itself. Families have been and still are dominated by males incase you haven't realized it yet. With time though things will change and I do believe people will come around. You should read the book "Family in Transition" by Skolnick & Skolnick- most book stores should have it as well as Amazon- it can be found. I would bet that your family fits the typical model this book discusses.
Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals, aliens, whatever label you want to give people, should be allowed the same rights anybody else. It's not your choice to tell someone "don't love him or her and if you do you will be denied your rights." Your words along with the other ladies words are ignorant- saying same sex marriages will be taught to your kids the same way traditional marriages are, give me a break! A well educated teacher should and will know how to handle the topic of people that are not heterosexuals. The main concept that should always be given to our children and future generation is tolerance. Saying that Prop 8 will restore marriage is saying that it is OUR fault, the LGBT communities fault, that traditional marraiges have failed. How is that even true when gays and lesbians have had a tiny fraction of a time to even be legally married? Don't throw rocks at your glass house as gays and lesbians had nothing to do with destroying hetersexaul marriages and families; don't blame us for your own communities wrong doings. Also, if people like you continue to support this notion of same sex marriages destorying families, we will continue to see hate crimes and deaths such as Gwen Araujo- you are sending a message out to people that's not ok to be yourself especially if you're not heterosexual. You remember HER don't you? She lived in Newark which isn't far from us at all. The hate and intolerance isn't just next door, it's in our backyard.
And finally to end my rant and go to sleep, I really don't think the issue here is about same sex couples being labled as "married"- if it was called unionship or whatever I'm sure my community would be just as pleased. The main issue is giving us rights and treating us fairly.
on Oct 5, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Same old, same old arguments.....do you have no better argument other than "hate crimes" and people "not being tolerant" to support your argument for same sex marriage, which you are obviously in? Then you are offended. Hate crime, intolerant and offended etc... You are tolerant only with those voices who share your view. Allow people to make their arguments without calling them intolerant and hateful. People are not saying that it will destroy marriage by the way. They are, however, saying it will fundamentally destroy the very framework that this society has been establish. You may disagree about the outcome, but you can't deny how society was constructed nor can you profess to know how it will affect the outcome. And the part about the "teachers" knowing how to address this issue. They will address it how the state tells them to address it. Does that make me feel any better? No, it scares the hell out of me. Take a deep breath, no need to rant and no need to loose sleep. And for heaven's sake, quit being offended.
on Oct 6, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I've no problem with gays being gays or civil unions for legal and health benefits, but marriage, as perfect imperfect as it may be, is a multicultural and multi-religion concept and belief for a union of a man and a woman practiced by billions of persons now and through time.
This is not just a Christian Beliefs vs Gay Rights fight as some have tried to define it. This is not about hatred of Gays.
By defining something that is factually not marriage as marriage is insulting to a lot of people from many, many backgrounds from around the world including mine.
Be gay, be proud, have legal rights but don't try to hijack and cheapen our beliefs.
I, my family, friends and many neighbors are voting yes on 8 to protect our multicultural and multi-religious beliefs from this assault.

Target, Feed Align For New Home, Apparel Collection For Charity
April 13, 2013-- Home Textiles Today,
MINNEAPOLIS - Target Corp. has partnered with Feed Projects, a social business founded by Lauren Bush Lauren, to create the new "FEED USA + Target" collection spanning several product categories, including home.
The limited-time-only collection, which includes more than 50 products within home, sporting goods, stationery, and apparel and accessories, will benefit Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger- relief charity.
The collection will available beginning June 30 at Target stores and on Target.com.
Co-designed by Bush Lauren, the products feature a modern, casual and handcrafted feel, and each product displays the number of meals that will be donated to children and families through Feeding America as a result of the purchase.
Prices are set to range from $3 to $400 per piece.
"Establishing meaningful partnerships is part of Target's brand legacy, from innovative design collaborations to long term community programs," said Stacia Andersen, senior vice president, merchandising, Target. "Through our partnership with Feed, we are offering our guests an exclusive, stylish collection that also supports an important cause."
Feed began in 2006 when Bush Lauren designed a bag to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme's School Feeding program. She founded Feed Projects LLC in 2007 with the mission to create good products that help feed the world. Best known for its iconic burlap bags, Feed's projects to date have raised enough funds to provide nearly 60 million school meals to children around the world.
"Through product sales, we hope to provide 10 million meals to Americans in need, which would make it the largest U.S. initiative in Feed's history," said Bush Lauren.

I've been an Oregon framing contractor for 30 years. I employ 12 to 20 carpenters, and together we frame about 75 to 200 single- and multi-family houses per year. Not only is that the ultimate torture test for our wormdrive saws, but it can also torture my veteran left arm — especially since I cut most of our roofs and stairs.
The 7 1/4-inch Skil MAG77 I usually use is a durable workaholic, has a quality lower blade guard that seldom snags even when cutting compound angles, and is 2 pounds lighter than Skil's standard model SHD77. But Skil just rolled out the MAG77LT, which weighs 2 pounds less than the MAG77 and is now the lightest 7 1/4-inch wormdrive or hypoid model on the market. When JLC asked if I'd like to field-test one, I couldn't wait to see if its reduced weight and other deluxe features would make a difference. After framing eight houses with it, I'm stoked.
At first glance, the MAG77LT doesn't look radically different from other Skil wormdrives. But Skil micromanaged the design inside and out to shed some weight while adding welcome features.
To subtract weight, Skil used magnesium for the blade guards and baseplate, reduced the length of the motor by 3/8 inch, reshaped the motor housing so it's cylindrical and is attached with shorter screws, moved the spindle lock from the front to the side of the gearbox and combined it with the oil plug, and even refined the rafter-hook mount.
I appreciated the lighter weight as soon as I lifted the saw, and the benefit was multiplied after using the tool all day or cutting overhead, such as when trimming rafter tails from a ladder. In my opinion, that alone is a game-changer.
Skil increased the no-load cutting speed from 4,600 to 5,300 rpm, so the saw should cut a bit faster. I didn't drag-race this model against my other Skils, but after cutting just about everything framers will normally cut with it (including plenty of LVL), I can't tell the difference.
The saw I tried cut perfectly square at the 0-degree setting, but if it ever veers off, it can be corrected by adjusting a screw on the baseplate. It bevels to 53 degrees (compared with 51 degrees for the SHD77 and MAG77), and the bold new bevel scale has white markings against a black background for a much easier read. The "Cut-Ready" depth bracket has practical scales that make it faster and easier to set the correct depth for cutting lumber and sheet goods. The new soft-grip rear handle is also an improvement.
I especially like the tool's unique multi-function wrench, which lives on the baseplate so it's always within reach. It's a blade wrench, plus it can pry the diamond knockout out of a new saw blade, loosen an over-tightened bevel or depth lever, and remove and install the oil plug and brush caps.
When I first started using this saw, I was annoyed when I came up empty after instinctively reaching up front for the spindle lock. But once I got used to the new location on the side of the gearbox, I found it to be more convenient. So much for my only complaint. I love the saw's light weight, it performs like my other Skils, it has every feature I can imagine wanting, and I expect it to last for years — just like its proven predecessors. Would I spend $220 for one when I can buy a new MAG77 for $180? Absolutely. In fact, I think it's a bargain.

Pre-cruise - We flew into Orlando the evening before the cruise. We rented a car from Thrifty and drove to the Hampton Inn in Cocoa Beach. The Hampton in was very comfortable with a nice hot breakfast for the day of embarkation. We returned our rental car at the Cocoa Beach location only to stand in a long line for the cruise port shuttle in the hot sun. It was so bad that we decided to share a taxi with two men who had already dropped their families off at the port.
Embarkation - We did not feel the need to get to the ship as soon as they started boarding so we didn't get to the terminal until about 1pm. After the taxi dropped us off there was barely a line to get into the building. Since we had my son in a stroller we were put into the Diamond line (which was actually no line at all). We were on the boat about 15 minutes after being dropped off by the taxi.
Stateroom - Since it was after 1pm we were able to go straight to our cabin. We had a Promenade Family Room which was more than enough room for our family of four. We were two decks above the Ben and Jerry's with two windows with window seats. We had a queen-sized bed (two beds pushed together), a full sofa bed and a small room with bunk beds. There was a very nice sized walk in closet with an additional full closet in the main room with a half-sized closet in the room with the bunk beds. Our bathroom was nice with a tub and shower combo instead of just a shower which was great for the kids. We loved looking down onto the Promenade. It was more interesting than just looking out of the window at water.
The ship - The Freedom of the Seas is a beautifully decorated ship and very easy to navigate. I loved all of the little deck plans that let you know where you are and how to get where you want to go. The ship is very open and airy.
Dining - Well, the food was O.K. My husband loves cruises specifically for the food. I have to say that there was definitely a lot of variety in the Main Dining Room. I am a seafood / pasta eater while my husband is a meat and chocolate eater. Our kids are like most kids and did fine with the spaghetti, hamburgers and fries. Since I am a picky eater with fairly simple taste there were many things on the menu that did not interest me. Even some of the shrimp and pasta dishes that I thought I would like ended up not being anything that I would ever want to eat again. My husband was very disappointed with the desserts because he loves chocolate and there wasn't much of it on the dessert menu. The windjammer was very organized and had pretty good hamburgers since we think that our past cruises had dry hamburgers at the buffet.
Activities - There was a lot to do on the ship. My husband and daughter did the H2O Zone once but that was it, since my daughter does not like all of the water spraying around or people splashing at her. We did mini golf, ice skating and the rock climbing wall. My daughter did not want to do any kids club activities so she didn't. I did one Aqua tots crayola play activity but it was boring so we didn't do another.
Service - Our waiter, Erika and assistant waiter, Joseph were the absolute best. It was the first time that I bothered to learn my waiters names because they were just that great. Even the head waiter was noticeable in dining room doing his part. Our stateroom attendant did a good job with the room. I was under the assumption that we could get the mini fridge/cooler cleared out but our attendant wouldn't do it, oh well.
Entertainment - My kids loved the entertainment. They like anything with singing and dancing. We saw every show. They had a new show called "I Can Do That" which was really funny.
Shore Excursions - We didn't do any ship organized excursions since most of them are snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, etc because we don't like those types of things.
Disembarkation - There was a longer line to get off of the ship than to get on.
Overall - We loved the ship and enjoyed our cruise.
