Her motivation for pursuing this research stems from the fact that stroke is a devastating, common and preventable disease, the burden of which is on the rise globally.

Love the streetcar (and non car based transportation modes in general)
Let the lying about ridership numbers begin. Ala the Sidewinders.
I had never heard of Matt Caron before, but I wish this whole article came with a "like" button. Not only was it vivid and well written, but now I want to check out that book on lizards of the Southwest.
I salute you Randy. Your epitaph to Mr. Caron was heartwarming, as is your passion for the all the "critters" that (unfortunately) have no voice. The fight for protection of Rosemont will not stop until the area is transformed into a regional park. In the memory of Matt, thank you for all your conservation efforts.
Except for the typo in the headline, this is a really nice tribute to Matt Caron and a reminder to us all that life is short and should be cherished.
Only the good die young.
Traffic laws (including those applicable to pedestrians and bikers) are created to make the other users' actions as predictable as possible. People not following those rules lead to a vast majority of collisions, I'm sure, Whether driving intoxicated, or while texting, or walking across the street at an inappropriate place, or bikers not following traffic laws.
Lots of people run across the middle of the street (not near corners), across one lane of traffic and then wait in the middle. Crazy. Try standing on the sidewalk and count the number of passing drivers using their cell phones. You'll find a high percentage, but that's really not news I'm sure.
I've found one of the highest offenders are bikers, in terms of the sheer percentage that break traffic laws. As I bike to work, I would estimate I see well more than 50% of bikers breaking traffic laws. Not stopping at stop signs, biking the wrong side of the road, carrying passengers, biking and texting (maybe that's not a law, just common sense)!
My favorite was on my bike, waiting to cross Ft. Lowell at Dodge, car on my right waiting to make a right turn, car on my left waiting to go straight, about 3 ft between me and the car on my left. Suddenly a biker flies by me, across Ft. Lowell. From his speed, I can't imagine he had even slowed down, fit between a space he could barely fit through, and straight through a red light across Ft. Lowell.
Not very predictable behavior, although with the frequency I see similar things happen (including cars and pedestrians), maybe it's totally predictable and should be expected that people are going to do stupid things on the road. Everyone, just be careful!
Good point skinnyman. Exactly, you have to be stone cold stupid to be hit by a train.
AZ Paul, there's one thing upon which we agree--you can't fix stupid. Thanks for proving my point.
I also have one question, is it the trains fault that hit that pedestrian the other day at Ruthrauff Rd. or should it have swerved to miss him? Like I said you cannot fix stupid.
My question is how often do cars drive up on the sidewalk and hit some one? Hardly ever, so with that in mind it must be the suicidal people jay walking that cause all these problems. I cannot count the many of times I see people standing in the turn lane trying to cross the street with pedestrian light a 100 yards up the road. So my take is on all this is, all the street lights all this whining and all the pedestrian lights in the world cannot fix stupid and as for making more bike lanes, other then the U of A area, which most of the money has been wasted on them, why should we pay for something that will only be used by 3 or 4 cyclists a day 6 months out of the year?
I was riding my bike east on pima street when I hear screeching breaks and gravel flying behind me. Apparently a guy in a truck almost hit me. It was broad daylight and I had on my flashing red light on the back of my bike. There was no bike lane, but I was traveling on the right side of the road as close to the side of the road as possible. I stopped, turned around to look and the guy who came close to mowing me down started cussing at ME! I had done absolutely nothing wrong. But he considered the whole incident to be my fault. Go figure!
The majority of what selfish drivers claim to be "jaywalking" is not really jaywalking or illegal behavior in any way. There is an implied crosswalk at every street corner, including alleys, and people have a legal right to cross, even at night. Is it risky? Sometimes, yes, but there obviously is no guarantee of safety at a major intersection or even at a fancy crossing light (which are few and far between, by the way).
But regardless, the bottom line is simple courtesy and basic responsibility--if you are the one operating the deadly weapon, and you see someone crossing the road or about to cross the road, you SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION. If you're in a high-pedestrian and/or high-bicycle traffic area, you SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION. Your desire to get where you're going a few seconds faster does not trump another person's right to life, no matter how risky their behavior may be. Since when is jaywalking a capital crime?
And many times victims are blamed for jaywalking, when in fact, as a previous poster observed, it is likely that BOTH people involved in the crash were not paying attention. But, of course, our society blames the person walking across the street and gives the driver operating the 5,000-pound death machine a free pass. This is just plain ass-backwards and morally indefensible. I refuse to believe that any more than a tiny percentage of pedestrian fatalities are truly unavoidable consequences of pedestrian behavior, and not the result of drivers not paying attention and not allowing sufficient margin for error based on present conditions (congestion, dark streets, bad weather, bar time, etc.).
The bottom line remains. Pedestrians and bicyclists never kill people in cars. People in cars do kill pedestrians and bicyclists, on a regular basis.
jonralston - can't disagree with anything you say here. cyclists who behave recklessly make so angry, as a cyclist, because they feed the anti-cycling vibe in among some motorists here. it's a real problem. as for pedestrians, i would say i've lived in other cities where there is similar behavior on a similar scale. the one thing in common is that the roads are huge, speedway-style arteries in largely suburban areas. often pedestrian crossing opportunities are somewhat limited, and the mix of that with big roads with cars going fairly fast is a bad one.
but as you acknowledge, ultimately the motorists have the greatest potential to do harm and thus can do the most to avoid harm, even if they are obeying laws. it's a pain, sure, but also just a reality.
I am a cyclist, pedestrian, and a motorist. While I agree with the gist of Mr. Serraglio's article, I feel he neglects the responsibility pedestrians and cyclists have in this matter. It has long been my observation that Tucson is the jaywalking capital of the world, and if it's not number 1 it's in the top 10. From people dressed in black jaywalking across Oracle at night, to people with children jaywalking across Grant or Speedway, to wheelchair bound amputees jaywalking across Silverbell using their one good leg to slowly scoot themselves across several lanes of traffic instead of pushing themselves with their hands, I grow frustrated as a motorist at having to essentially do a vulcan mind meld with every person I see or can't see on the road to try and avoid hitting them. In terms of cyclists, they need to obey traffic laws. Going up A Mountain as I frequently do, I can't tell you how many times cyclists speed down the hill and veer into oncoming traffic to avoid slowing down and going over speed bumps. I've narrowly avoided several collisions in this scenario. I agree that infrastructure needs to improve to allow for safe transportation for cyclists and pedestrians, and I agree motorists need to focus on the road, slow down, and put away their devices. My point is it's not simply always the motorist's fault. Many times it is and more of the responsibility falls on the motorist because the physics of the situation favors them. It's just us cyclists and pedestrians need to do our part as well in order to ensure safe travels.
Yes Bob, you seem like a reasonable, compassionate member of our society. So I will just say that some people don't appreciate casual threats or indifference to violence against cyclists. But I'm glad to know how important your cars paint job is to you in the overall scheme of things.
I get my car keyed, you get a funeral. Well done.
lots of comments about what pedestrians/bikers can do. good advice, mostly. but seems like the onus is on drivers, as they are the ones behind 1-2 ton mobile, metal machines. and so help me god, Yes Bob, i'm hoping some cyclist keys the shit out of your car, because, you know, you have it coming to you.
it is infuriating to pass all blame to to victims. shameful. you are driving, you see a drunken pedestrian crossing illegally, fine, yes, that person fucked up. YOU, driver, are responsible for being aware of your surroundings and not hitting that person.
It would help if walkers did not dress like pavement.
The leap of faith a walker takes by crossing without watching all lanes of traffic stop first and without looking over their shoulder for the turning traffic makes today or tomorrow a good day to die.
If you wait to cross with your toes hanging over the curb, you're precisely why natural selection will choose you for death.
As for the bikers, they have it coming to them.
Far from disdain about the HAWK lights, I hold the pedestrians who refuse to USE the crossings in spite of their presence as being a BIG part of the problem. I stop when required at each red light and each HAWK light (listen to my wife..) and as I wait for the light to clear, watch countless cars blow through. Why? I suppose it was the pedestrian who hit the button and walked out into traffic before the HAWK light came on...it is frustrating to wait for a person to cross, when nobody is there. I wait until the flashing reds come on.. Others do not.
As for the "victims"...many, if not MOST of the pedestrian accidents in this area are self-inflicted. Quite often, one or another party is drunk. As others have noted, pull out the ear buds, put the smartphone away while dumbwalking, and try PAYING ATTENTION. On foot or on wheels!

But is the housing recovery all that certain? The Fed's decision to purchase $40 billion of agency MBS a month certainly suggests that it isn't as confident as housing bulls would have us believe.
And some markets – like Illinois, New York, and much of the Northeast United States – are getting worse.
We put together 14 charts that highlight the many nagging doubts that are still out there about the much-touted housing recovery.

small room,noisy A/C.Hotel look so old ,need decor
Continental breakfast was alright and included your breakfast basics to start the day.
Staff did not answer at front desk a number of times, bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly. Location was near a homeless hot spot which was sketchy at night time.
Location Comfortable beds
Price Wifi was inconsistent Old Cheaply build Dirty
friendly staff valet parking localisation
expensive valet parking, but that' SF. tiny room and toilet technical room condition (towel rack fell of the wall during hanging towel) Do not take breakfast as the advantage of this hotel. You will need definitely eat something after this continental breakfast. It is unpleasant and rather dangerous to go for a walk on the surrounding streets after 8.00 pm. I really recomend one should spend 30$ more and stay in much much better hotels located near Union Square.
Everything was nice and clean
You guys need to have a little more options for breackfast
the staff were very helpful ,, in all my needs ,, an went out of there way to help ,, also arranged airport transfers
the rooms were a bit small ,, especially with 3 suitcases ,, aircon needs updating
Good location a short walk from union square
We booked three queen rooms and two of them were very small. Wi-fi signal was patchy.
The room was clean, the bed ver comfortable, the shower had ample hot water. Conveniently located to Union Sqaure, but quite a distance from Fisherman's Wharf. By San Francisco standards, it was good value for money. The staff were generally friendly, although the front desk clerk who greeted us on our arrival, was a bit miserable.
The room was very small. The breakfast area was far too small for the size of the hotel, to the extent that we went elsewhere for breakfast.
Very good location
Kinda expensive
staff very rude
Front Desk told me to get my own towels from them. The bathroom floor was extremely dirty. Dirty enough to make the bottoms of my feet black from walking around the bathroom and room. The bed was so hard and firm that sleeping on the floor would have be softer. Valet Parking-35 a night. Not too bad but had to wait up to 45 mins for the car to be pulled around. Next time, Ill spend the extra 50 bucks and stay in a hotel and not this dump.
Wonderful comfy bed. Breakfast great. Staff very helpful. Location excellent. Certainly would recommend.
The room was surprisingly clean, and the bathroom was renovated
The guy at the front desk was a little rude and had no personality. The location of the hotel is in a somewhat seedy part of town.
Great location Good price Helpful staff Good rooms Free breakfast
Could use a restoration Noise from ground floor nightclub Loud refrigerator compressor Loud air conditioner
Right downtown, in the action of the city
Lots of bums in area
Location was in a drug infested area full of trash in the streets, drug addicts and homeless sleeping on the sidewalks. Parking and the hotel wanting to charge us 25.00 per day for valet parking felt like they where trying to take advantage
Very helpful staff and pretty safe place:)
The breakfast
The from desk
Looks guys this not the Ritz but your not paying Ritz money, Excellent location handy for all transport, rooms are a little small but what do you expect for the money. I would stay there again
Only the size of the room but hey you get what you pay for
Room didn't smell so good.
The hotel is rather old, but well located and good maintained. He breakfast is really poor, but it doesn't matter in case of lots of dining places around.
Location is good and staff was friendly.
Room was very small and breakfast was very limited.
Very small rooms, continental breakfast could be better.
Reasonable ! Clean ! Close to everything.
The building needs to be condemned. Possible bed bugs, I was itchy all night, lots of homeless people outside especially at night. Complimentary breakfast is poor.. Not worth investing 140 dollars. Not fair at all for the price, very disappointed!!!!

PORTLAND In early September, Inverge — an "interdisciplinary thought-leader event" as organizers call it — took place in the Gerding Theater in Portland's Pearl District. It was, essentially, two days of very smart people standing on a stage and talking. Or rather, some of them talked and others wove fantastic pictures of the near future, tales of convergence between technology, advertising, social communities and the "real" world.

Pfizer was a good experience as an intern. The staff was very receptive and friendly and would answer questions when possible. It was a great glimpse at corporate cultureCons
As with some intern programs, I felt underutilized and had to continually ask for assignments due to the size and complexity of operations. I wasn't excited about the work I was doing though, I was just a number to a lot of people.Recommends

Major ISPs including Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and others have joined forces to come up with a system of six "alerts" to deter piracy.
First, the companies might send their customers a warning letter, according to the WSJ.
The worst offenders will eventually have their Internet connection slowed down or even have their browsers locked completely.
Jill Lesser, who directs the Center for Copyright Information, which is coordinating the effort, acknowledged to the WSJ that the new system won't stop major pirates.
But, she said, it could definitely send a message to the "casual infringer."

10 Yoga Poses that will Compliment any Runner
If you run, you MUST compliment your running with stretching before and after so your muscles don't tighten up.
Here, I've put together some easy poses anyone can do after a run. Do them in order after your run. Go at your own pace, be kind to yourself and do what feels good. Don't get discouraged if you're not as flexible as you wish…you'll get more flexible if you keep going.
You'll see progress quick if you stick to it. I promise!
1. Downward facing dog-
Stretches basically everything. Hips, hamstrings, shoulders, back, achilles, calves, etc. Also, it can be very cooling after running and a good moment to just relax and slow down.
2. Lizard Lunge-
A great opening in the hips and hamstrings which I always find needed after running. You can even take the hand closest to the instep of the foot and place it on your knee to gently push the knee out to the side. Do on both legs, naturally.
3. Horse Squat-
A good twist and hip opening. The help of gravity makes this stretch extra yummy! Push your knees apart with your hands and let it feel good!
4. Malasana Squat-
After horse squat, take your hips down towards the ground. This is AMAZING on the low back which can sometimes feel jarred after running. Plus another great opening in the hips.
5. Wide Legged Forward Fold-
I love this pose to stretch everything and to improve my posture by opening in the heart space. Make sure you lift at your inner arches here slightly to avoid dumping in your feet and hurting your knees.
6. Tip Toe Pose-
I encourage all of my students and friends and family and anyone to do this. If you have never done this, it may feel pretty intense at first and you may not be able to sit in it for long. But do it everyday. Trust me, you will thank your healthy feet. Especially after having your feetsies in shoes all day, this is a must.
7. Top of the Foot Stretch-
To counter the last stretch, this one feels great and is crucial for balancing out your feet. It feels so good from the top of the shin down. Again, if you never stretch your feet, you may notice your arches are pretty tight. Either way, do it everyday.
8. Bhekasana/Frog Pose-
After working your quads on that run, this is the best thing you could do for them. It stretches the entire thigh. Don't leave this one out. It's way too good.
9. Pyramid Pose with elevated toes-
You could use the street curb for this one. Crazy good hamstring and achilles stretch. This wall was convenient for me to rest my forehead on.
10. IT Band Stretch-
Right after pyramid pose, take this twisty position to stretch out the IT band. You won't regret it.
Do these stretches after runs and get back to me on how you feel in a few weeks. I can assure you it will improve your running, flexibility and power. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

When you're not used to exercising and then you start doing it consistently you'll notice that you tend to be hungry more often. EAT! This is your body telling you that you're working harder and it needs more nutrients to keep it going! This isn't a challenge of how much self control you have when it comes to food. Listen to your body and EAT!

CMC's Ebonie Robinson Honored as January Employee of the Month
Old Dominion's January Employee of the Month is, in a very real sense, back where she started. And she's clearly off to a good start once again.
Ebonie Robinson, a 2010 ODU graduate and former student worker with the Career Management Center, returned to the CMC in September 2012 when she was hired to coordinate LEAP II (Learn and Earn Advantage Program). Since that time, she has mentored more than 110 LEAP II students, conducted over 20 professional workshops and supervised more than 18,000 hours of work in various campus departments, according to her supervisor, Jay McCord, CMC assistant director.
"Having been a former ODU student as well as a student worker allows Mrs. Robinson to connect to current students on multiple levels," said McCord, who nominated her for the award. "Mrs. Robinson always has time for students no matter how much work she has on her plate or how late she has to stay to help them. Not one week has gone by that I have not seen a student seeking assistance, advice or guidance from Mrs. Robinson. In fact, I have seen many of these same students return to thank Mrs. Robinson for her contribution to their success and to share the good news of their new job, career choice or other life-changing event."
Describing CMC's student employment coordinator as "an indispensable asset to our team as well as overall student success," McCord further characterized Robinson as "an energetic, dependable, polite and enthusiastic member of Student Employment Programs."
LaTia Lewis, a recent student employee with the CMC, also wrote in support of Robinson's nomination for Employee of the Month. "During my days working at the Career Management Center, Ebonie has been a great help. When I started off at the CMC, I wasn't one of the best students. After working with Ebonie, that all changed. Being close to the LEAP supervisor is an amazing experience. You get to learn great work ethics, such as taking initiative, showing respect and time management skills."
Lewis added: "There's one thing that sets Ebonie apart from any other supervisor. And that is her ability to care. If a student needed help in the middle of her busy workday, she would always find time to listen. She really knows how to encourage her student workers."
Colleagues, as well, have taken note of Robinson's efforts. Said Dionicia Mahler-Rogers, associate director of student activities and leadership, "She is committed to what she does for students, she reaches out to potential partners and she is willing to give of herself for the success of her students. I wish we had more Ebonies around."
The University Employee of the Month Selection Committee encourages employees to nominate their outstanding, "go the extra mile" colleagues and employees. This program is designed to acknowledge and reward employees whose accomplishments and/or demeanor exemplify excellence, quality service and commitment to ODU. Classified and AP faculty employees receive a framed certificate from the president, $175 and one day of leave. Hourly winners get $250, since they are not eligible to receive recognition leave.
Note: The selection committee needs specific examples that relate to each applicable criterion in order to select a nominee for the award. Nominations remain active for six months from date of submission and nominators may submit additional documentation to support a nominee during the active six months.
The criteria used to nominate an employee include the following:
- An outstanding accomplishment that benefited the department/students.
- Extraordinary service to internal and/or external customers.
- Inspiring initiative/leadership.
- Enthusiasm/energy given to assigned work.
- Teamwork.
- Exemplary efforts to nurture a climate of care, concern and civility.
- Creative innovations to service, process or work tools.
For more information contact Tony Belk at email@example.com or 683-3046, or go to http://www.odu.edu/ao/humanresources/employeeofthemonth.shtml.
Robinson reacts to a comment from a co-worker after being presented the traditional Employee of the Month check by Tony Belk, employee relations consultant with the Department of Human Resources.

HAVERHILL — Neighbors of the Bradford commuter rail station said the decade-long problem of trains idling there for long periods of time has yet to be resolved — and they've had enough.
Forty residents signed a petition asking the city to enforce federal and state laws that limit train idling to no more than a half hour at a time. The neighbors gave the petition to City Council.
The neighbors said the idling lasts two hours or more on many weekday mornings between 4 and 7 a.m. They are concerned with noise and train emissions, which they said contain unhealthy particles such as lead.
In a letter to the City Council as well as to state and federal officials, the neighbors said the state's locomotive idling rule is a federally enforceable regulation that prohibits all unnecessary diesel locomotive idling for a continuous period longer than 30 minutes.
The neighbors want police to enforce the law and said police have the power to issue fines ranging from $500 to $25,000.
"We want the MBTA to become good neighbors and comply with whatever laws are on the books," said Germain Avenue resident Bert LaCerte, who for years has fought for quality-of-life issues in his neighborhood.
The petition was signed by residents of Verndale Street, Front Street, South New Street, Germain Avenue and South Merrill Street. Those streets are near the layover station, where commuter trains warm up their diesel engines and get all of their systems operating in the early morning before making their first runs into Boston.
The neighborhood concerns will be discussed by the City Council tonight.
"One of the key things that's been promised for years is for the MBTA to install plug-in stations for all locomotives," LaCerte said. "These stations are used to connect to a train's main engine so they don't have to warm up the engine by idling."

Fresh off a fifth straight dominating performance to begin the 2013-14 season, Roy Hibbert tweeted out last night that he wants to be known as the best defender in the game, culminating in a Defensive Player of the Year award by season's end.
People act like I can't have individual goals. I didn't talk about it in the past. Well now I am. I WANT DPoY. That's gonna help my team win— Roy Hibbert (@Hoya2aPacer) November 7, 2013
In the Pacers' 97-80 win over the Bulls last night, Hibbert grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked five shots to go with his eight points, three assists and a steal in 37 minutes. It was the fourth time in five games Hibbert has blocked at least five shots in a game, and he's currently the league leader with 5.2 blocks per game. The closest defender to him is Anthony Davis, who has averaged four blocks per game. Hibbert's 9.0 rebounds per game are 23rd in the NBA, but he has reached double-digit rebounds in three of five games.
[MORE: Bulls determined to turn things around after loss to Pacers]
It's tough to argue against him being the (extremely) early candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, especially considering what his Pacers have done on defense. They are 5-0, the NBA's last remaining undefeated team, and still haven't scored 100 points on offense. Their defense has allowed 86.3 points per 100 possessions, 14 points fewer than the NBA average. And opponents have averaged just 84.4 points against the Pacers, the lowest mark in the league by nine points (Brooklyn, 93.4).
Indiana sure looks like the team to beat in the Central Division, maybe even the Eastern Conference, and Hibbert's defensive prowess has been one of the biggest reasons why.

Fields Of The Nephilim To Play Two Exclusive Shows At Roadburn Festival 2015
Posted on Wednesday, August 27th, 2014
We are honored to announce that British gothic rock innovators Fields Of The Nephilim will be gracing the stage twice at the 20th edition of the Roadburn Festival at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands. In addition to serving as the Saturday headliner on April 11, 2015, the band will perform a different set as special guests at 'Houses Of The Holistic' on Friday, the special Roadburn event curated by Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved) and Wardruna's Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik, which will be held on Friday, April 10.
Currently 30 years into a groundbreaking career, Fields of the Nephilim have had a major impact on an entire generation of musicians and music fans. Led by singer Carl McCoy, the Stevenage, England band fused the darker elements of post-punk with more overtly American sounds such as blues and outlaw country, creating a sound that was gritty, grandiose, and menacing, unlike anything that was made before or since.
Such classic albums as Dawnrazor, The Nephilim, and Elizium helped shape the goth subculture, but at the same time played a profound role in influencing a wide array of today's music, ranging from indie, to occult rock, to metal. Such contemporary bands as Watain, Katatonia, Horseback, and Enslaved cite the Nephilim as a major influence.
"Fields of the Nephilim has accepted our invitation for our "Houses of the Holistic" at Roadburn 2015. Bleep! Anything I say after that sentence is going to seem insignificant in comparison, so no pressure for once," says Bjørnson, "I've been a avid fan of Carl McCoy and Fields of the Nephilim since I was introduced to them during the early years of Enslaved; and they have remained a constant source of inspiration ever since (check out the song 'Nordlys' from our Scion-EP 'The Sleeping Gods', for instance). Having these absolute masters of sublime Music from the Shadows as very special guests at our curated event is as big as it gets; April 2015 just can't come fast enough! Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!"
Comments Selvik: "The basic idea of our 'Houses of the Holistic' is of course about inviting bands we find interesting and would love to see perform but it is also about creating an event that at the same time says something about what shaped and inspired us on our own creative path – AND – since the authors of the poetic Edda are long since gone I personally have difficulty thinking of a more fitting band than Fields of the Nephilim to give voice to that idea."
We at Roadburn have been huge supporters of Fields Of The Nephilim since the Dawnrazor album in 1987, and with their influence looming large over so many acts that have played at our festival over the years, hosting these two special performances at Roadburn 2015 couldn't be more appropriate.
Roadburn Festival 2015 will run for four days from Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Ohio's Electric Citizen Paying Homage to Early '70s Pro-Metal at Roadburn 2015

Instantly attractive, Ohio's Electric Citizen rank amongst Roadburn's faves in the current upsurge of female-fronted, '70s proto-metal revivalists thanks to Sateen, their debut album and the band's homage to forebearers like Sir Lord Baltimore, Pentagram, and the daemonic spirit of Amon Düül. Sateen (out on RidingEasy Records) also draws comparisons […]

I figured it would get this bad at some point. Oklahoma legislative officials and tea party activists have won the race among right-wing extremists nationwide to unveil an actually treasonous, revolutionary program to fight the federal government.
The Associated Press reported today that tea party leaders and some Oklahoma lawmakers want to create a volunteer state militia to defend against federal initiatives, or block those initiatives.
The last time some militia members acted out in Oklahoma, they blew up a federal building, killing dozens of people, including little kids in a daycare center. The tea party people yapping about forming a state militia insist their effort is different because they are clothing it in a states' rights veneer.
I'm sorry, but that is not true. It's laughably wrong. It's baldly treasonous. It's action toward revolution. If a state takes up arms against the federal government, its practitioners are committing treason. It is a revolutionary move that would end in long prison terms, or hangings, for the leaders and probably bloodshed on both sides.
Please, Oklahoma, slap down your lunatics before someone gets hurt.

Fuck Suicide? No, Henry Rollins, Fuck You
Last week, I wrote here about depression and suicide, apropos of the death of Robin Williams. In the week since, I've thought a lot about the media coverage of his death, and how impressive and non-sensationalist most (albeit not all) of it has been. Well, the tone changed yesterday afternoon, when Henry fucking Rollins waded in with a column for the LA Weekly entitled "Fuck Suicide." In it, Rollins addressed the death of Robin Williams with his usual sledgehammer subtlety — leading with an acknowledgement that "I am sure some will strongly disagree with what I'm about to say," and wheeling out pretty much every manifestation of the "suicide is weak/selfish/etc" trope one can imagine. … Read More
Twitter and Abuse: Some Users Are More Equal Than Others
After all we've read in the last few months about Twitter's disinclination to solve the problem of people using the platform to anonymously abuse other users, hey, suddenly Twitter's taking the problem seriously! In the wake of the godawful abuse aimed at Robin Williams' daughter Zelda in the wake of his suicide, Twitter is apparently "evaluating how we can further improve our policies to better handle tragic situations like this one." This is welcome news, of course. It's just a shame that it took so damn long. … Read More

Lucky for me, newbie UK press Haunt Me has stepped in to fill that void with Snake Eyes: A Nicolas Cage Activity Book, featuring paper dolls, mazes, searches, and more, all inspired by the slightly unhinged thesp.

The Underrated Acting Legacy of Robin Williams
People are writing about Robin Williams. There will be much more writing about him. It started on social media, when the sad and horrifying news of his death, by apparent suicide, broke last night; it felt like we knew him, so long had he been a part of our lives, and we wanted to talk about him. Now there are obituaries and testimonials, remembrances and praise. Because Mr. Williams' talent was so copious, because he did — and excelled at — so many things, there are many ways to consider him: as a groundbreaking stand-up comedian, as a childhood hero (if you're my age, it's from Mork and Popeye; for younger viewers, it's Aladdin and Doubtfire and Jumanji), as a humanitarian, as a mentor, as an open book who shared his struggles with substances and mental health. He was all of those things. He was also one of our most talented and versatile actors—a man whose gifts were, through much of his life, wildly underappreciated. … Read More

Why Can't Ricky Gervais Leave David Brent Alone?
It's hard to remember now, but when the UK original version of The Office, starring co-creator and co-writer Ricky Gervais, first aired in 2001, it was a revelation — a wickedly funny, desperately sad mockumentary style look into the denizens of one paper-pushing company. It was the loneliness and desperation that burned through the screen, whether it was big boss David Brent's (played by Gervais) attempts at fame and friendship or Tim's (Martin Freeman's) fight for something like love and sanity. It was a marvelous work, equal parts comedy and tragedy, certainly worthy of (high) placement in the all-time-best-show-ever pantheon. Gervais played the role of Brent so well that it felt like he was Brent, at times. The show felt lived in and accurate about the daily misery of the working man. It was not a show made by people who had no idea what it was like to be in an office job that could maybe become your life; rather, it was steeped in that existential terror. … Read More

Before a cheering crowd, Ariel Castro's Seymour Avenue home was demolished on Wednesday morning.
But before the house was reduced to a pile of rubble, Google Maps wiped his house off the map - literally.
A Google search of 2207 Seymour Avenue in Cleveland shows a blurred image of the house where three women were held captive and sexually assaulted for a decade.
Castro has since been sentenced to life in prison, plus 1,000 years. As part of Castro's plea agreement, his west side Cleveland house was to be torn down.
