Well, Arcade Fire fans, the wait is finally over—Arcade Fire has released a new music video for "Reflektor." Well, calling it just a music video clip may be something of an understatement—the "video" for "Reflektor" is less a music video and is much more along the lines of, as The AV Club calls it, an "interactive experience" or some kind of digital art installation.
In the "video" for "The Reflektor," viewers can use their mouse to manipulate images in the video, so "that individual viewers thereby become 'reflekors.'" Or something. It's all very pretentious stuff, which is par for the course when it comes to most things Arcade Fire.
The video, which was filmed in Jacmel, Haiti and directed by Vincent Morisset, and tells the story of a young woman "who travels between her world and our own." Or something.
But, hey, pretentiousness and Arcade Fire go hand in hand, and it's all pretty interesting the music is, as always, pretty great. So go enjoy the wacky new video. Or something.
Arcade Fire's fourth album, Reflektor, is set for an October 29th release date, via Merge records.
What do you think of the Arcade Fire news?

Good news, but a small stepWhile the news is truly good, expectations must be tempered. Why? An article today in Technology Review points to one major reason: the intent of the study. Stem-cell therapy has received a number of blows, so any news seems like good news, but the results of this most recent trial have to be seen for what they are. The study has been deemed a success solely on the basis that the therapy has proved to be safe:
The new study was written three months after treating the patients, both of whom have degenerative eye diseases and limited sight. Another three months has now passed, and Robert Lanza, chief scientific officer of Advanced Cell Technology, says both are still doing well, with no apparent side effects.While the study was created to look at treatment safety, Technology Review reports that "Lanza, the paper, and a related commentary also published in The Lancet all cited the women's reports of benefits from the procedure. One woman's vision improved enough to see a hand waved in front of her face; the other climbed from 20/500 to 20/320 on an eye chart." The reporting of these results has struck many in the field as premature. The study, for example, has only two patients, and it has to prove that the changes are a true and permanent result of the treatment. Treatment safety is truly the most important result thus far, since researchers were unsure whether stem cells would cause uncontrolled cell growth, leading to a teratoma, a form of benign tumor.
What's next in the study?The article reports that a second round is in the works:
In the [initial portion of the] study, human embryonic stem cells were coaxed into becoming retinal pigment epithelium, or RPE cells. They were carefully examined for impurities or potential dangers, and then injected into one eye in each patient. The two received 50,000 RPE cells each. The next round of patients will receive 100,000 RPE cells, and later patients in the trial will be given 200,000 cells each. Of the 24 people in the trial, half have dry, age-related macular degeneration—the most common cause of vision loss in older Americans—and half have Stargardt macular dystrophy, a far rarer disorder that strikes children and teenagers. There are no effective medical treatments for either condition. Lanza says the company will soon begin another round of research in the U.K. involving 24 patients with the same conditions.You can read full coverage here.

Primary initiation for an individual to halt pessimistic outlooks to achieve more than just an illusion of optimism is to denounce negativity.
Turning thought processes into a more constructive scenario through a positive perspective must be utilized. One must believe each problem can carry desired solutions to be successful ventures, rather than assuming the worst result.
The issue is simple, control. One must control their mind to release positive or negative thoughts to change negative intents into more successful and vested conclusions.
Some are naturally optimistic and find each cup full of life. They tend to define events in more visual and reactive ways than that of a pessimistic persona. An optimist will analyze situations more thoroughly and focus more in a desirable outcome in order to achieve the highest level of any and every result.
Optimists do not dwell or worry, yet they will visualize and analyze situations more thoroughly to reap desired results. They believe in their actions, while setting aside fear from the overall objective that prevents abundance.
Pessimists will have fear, doubt or worry when something is out of their control, even when situations cannot be altered. Their belief of what is really possible to achieve is halted by adverse affects from the lack of mental strength and an open mind.
Pessimism individuals see obvious restraints to projects or issues, rather than looking beyond in order to see obvious solutions. Maybe a pessimistic attitude gives the meaning to "ignorance is bliss". They prevent gathering facts to bring favorable events into play by failing to see beyond their own assumptions.
How can pessimism dissolve for optimism to burst forward?
Baby steps may be the best solution by simple changes to improve overall negativity for achievement of ever lasting results to come true.
This may sound easier said than done; however, one must begin to identify pro's and con's for each circumstance encountered. Set standards for determining a fresh mind for events. Raise the inner bar to improve words and thoughts into ongoing actions until the desired result is achieved.
Weigh benefits with solutions to prevent failure from the start before assuming the conclusion is deemed unsuccessful. Diving in for higher standards must be bargained within the mind by changing all "impossible" ideas into the possible.
One great way to get the boat moving is to document the overall purpose to solve specific problems occurring at the moment. Brainstorm the most beneficial, successful outcomes inclined to fit your needs, wants, and demands.
Document each step taken to get from point A to B by using your problem-solving capabilities. This needs to be detail-oriented documentation to understand if a mistake is made, it is okay and you are able to retrace where the issue lies. Be thorough and efficient through this process to attain the results wanting to see blossom.
The most difficult concept to gain optimism is keeping the will alive to have appreciation for overall work taken place when it seems so much easier to give up. Know the sole purpose of why and how solutions need to have beneficial results for personal and profession well-being. Stay focused by visualizing gratification upon completion. Remember each step forward is one step closer to significant rewards.
Aside from gathering solutions to issues with a fresh and positive mentality, there must grace towards each day by looking at the good you are surrounded by. If areas regarding work, home, or general day-to-day life are found to have room for improvement, then great, put forth actions to improve the well-being of those areas in your life as well.
Smile each day and look at the world as if it was your last day to be placed within its beauty. What can you improve, change, or even embrace right now to better welcome positive influences in life and within all that surrounds you?
Remind yourselves every problem has a solution. How one chooses to solve issues with positive reinforcement to gather the most productive actions that will reach the most beneficial rewards.
See for yourselves and witness how possible the impossible really is!

Stay WarmTuesday, October 02, 2012
J. Crew has been killing it and now that fall is here, women's coats are back in stores. As much as I'd love a bright new coat, I already have a black trench and orange coat (seen in my '11 NYC photos), a grey coat, and a puffy coat, too. Assuming I stay in Chicago, I'd love to eventually add another bright coat and something camel to the collection.
36 comments
I love the plaid slim trench, super cute!ReplyDelete
Definitely that trench! So cute!ReplyDelete
The coral trench! LOVE all these, jcrew has done it again :-)ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to go with the Double Cloth Metro Coat. So classic, you can't go wrong.ReplyDelete
i'm with you on something camel - i just wrote a post about it last week!ReplyDelete
i really love the boulevard trench, especially in the bright coral! it also came in a gorgeous camel color last fall.ReplyDelete
The first one definitely! (Stadium cloth boulevard trench) And I'd love it in coral! And after further review, I love the 'double cloth lady day thinsulate' in Jade or Golden sun!!!ReplyDelete
I only have a black, camel, and brown coat, so having any of these bright colors (if the magic fairy dropped a present at my door) this would be outside my comfort zone, yet a wonderful treat/surprise to help me branch out!
Have a good one! thanks for the post :)
ps Still loving the Everygirl! Delight to read it every day!
I'd go with the Double Cloth Lady Day or the coral trench. I just love the brightness of these two.ReplyDelete
I just purchased a J.Crew peacoat this weekend with the 25% off, thanks to your tweet :)ReplyDelete
Oooh definitely the plaid trench! So cute and I could have used it today - it's pouring here in DC!ReplyDelete
Definitely the Stadium Cloth Boulevard Trench...That coral color is perfection!ReplyDelete
Absolutely the coral trench! LOVE that color... The turquoise is pretty rockin' too though.ReplyDelete
I really want to get a camel colored coat but I'm completely smitten with the coral stadium cloth boulevard trench. Amazing!ReplyDelete
Call me lame but I'm digging hte double cloth metro coat in camel...ReplyDelete
The coral trench! Although honestly, I'd be happy if the magic fairy delivered any of these to my door!ReplyDelete
I always end up with neutral colored coats. However, I live in Texas so we don't get to wear coats often so i don't have the luxury of a big coat wardrobe.ReplyDelete
I love the turquoise one!ReplyDelete
i have the double cloth lady day coat on my wish list. i either want pink or camel. unfortunately, living in san diego means i don't really need it.ReplyDelete
The metro coat is so effortlessly chic and feminine! I love that the color is neutral enough to be worn without worries of clashing with the variously colored bags and shoes that one would go through during fall and winter. I think it's the perfect coat to keep you both toasty and looking polished!ReplyDelete
Definitely the first one!ReplyDelete
This would be a tough choice! I love the coral and the camel one!ReplyDelete
I love the metro coat. The blush color is so so beautiful!ReplyDelete
dying for a camel coat!ReplyDelete
I have a coat obsession-a serious problem but I can't help it! There are just so many gorgeous options that how could you choose just one, right? My favorite is the slim trench topper- i love a good tartan!!ReplyDelete
I've always loved their Stadium Cloth coats.ReplyDelete
I'd pick the boulevard trench or the lady day. However, I'm not sure either color shown would go with my bright pink hunter boots. :)ReplyDelete
The double cloth metro coat is just so versatile. I can see it with jeans, a pencil skirt as show or a dress... or even a mini! J. Crew has quickly become of of my favorite places to shop in the last few years. Their bright colors, simple design and knowledge of a women's body is bar-none!ReplyDelete
holly foxen wells
ohhhh that boulevard trench. need.ReplyDelete
The trench allll the way! Love these picks!ReplyDelete
Isn't That Charming.
double cloth lady thinsulate- the aqua would brighten a dreary day!ReplyDelete
Definitely the double cloth lady day thinsulate but I can't seem to decide on a color!!ReplyDelete
OOh, the boulevard in the coral is pretty rad, but the neptune would be wonderful too, with camel underneath...ReplyDelete
Love the magic fairy! :)ReplyDelete
The Stadium Cloth Boulv. Trench is my favorite!!!
It's a tie between the aqua and the trench. Both super cute.ReplyDelete
OOOOH definitely the plaid slim trench !!!!!ReplyDelete
The double cloth lady day thinsulate is gorgeous!ReplyDelete

Private pesticide applicator training offered
A private pesticide applicator training session will be offered at 6 p.m. on Jan. 15, at the Polk County Fairgrounds in Bolivar.
Missouri law requires all purchasers and users of restricted-use pesticides to attend a training session to be certified for a private applicators license.
"This three-hour training program will allow individuals to recertify or receive initial training to be licensed to purchase or use restricted-use pesticides for five years," said Brie Menjoulet, agronomy specialist with the University of Missouri Extension who will be teaching the class.
This training is open to producers of agricultural commodities, 18 years of age or older.
"Participants will be required to purchase the Private Pesticide Applicator Reference Manual," said Menjoulet.
The manual is $12 and must be purchased at the time of training.
"The reference manual can be shared among members of the same household or close family so if a current edition (2007) of the reference manual is already available to you, please bring it with you when you recertify," said Menjoulet
Pre-registration is required by Jan. 14. Persons interested in attending should call 417-326-4916 to reserve a space or to make arrangements due to a disability.
Training session may also be offered in surrounding counties. Contact your local MU Extension office to find the program nearest you.
This pesticide applicator training session is provided by the Polk County Commission and University of Missouri Extension Council.

EastEnders star Hetti Bywater "horrified" that teens with eating disorders see her as a role model
17 year old Hetti Bywater – who of course plays troubled teen Lucy Beale in EastEnders – is reportedly "horrified" that teenagers with eating disorders see her as a role model.
Hetti is of course a very slim young lady, and according to The Sun, on forums dedicated to unhealthy approaches to weight loss, Hetti is seen as "thinspiration".
The paper quotes one teenager on forum anaprincess as saying, "I think the new Lucy is great thinspo, I love her skinny legs especially!"
Another wrote, "I love her arms and backbones! Her legs are skinny but I'd prefer slightly smaller."
In response to the news that teens who have eating disorders were idolizing Hetti's thin frame, a spokeswoman for the actress said, "Hetti is horrified her image is used this way…"
The term "thinspiration" is, as above, often referred to as "thinspo" while 'Ana' and 'Mia' refer to anorexia and bulimia.
Medpage reports that around 80% of the so-called pro-Ana or pro-Mia sites are also interactive and "encourage users to post their own photos, artwork, and comments."
The website adds…
One site, for example, touts that an eating disorder "is a gift" and you cannot decide to have an eating disorder. So if you are looking for a way to lose weight … move on, try Jenny Craig.
Doctor Rebecka Peebles said of such sites, "There are some [sites] that are quite blatant that they're trying to promote eating disorders as a lifestyle.
"Those aren't the most common, but they do occur for sure."

Much love and thanks to you all." Keyboardist David Paich offers, "The last 35+ years have been the most amazing journey imaginable.

Toto is very grateful to all of you who are buying (and will buy!) the new Live in Poland DVD. Thank you all, again, and again, AND....etc. We look forward to giving you more music and a new CD next year and a tour to boot. Down the yellow brick road we go.

What is going on with this bridge, and what type of bridge is it?
Category Archives: pop quiz
Friday Pop Quiz (because summer will eventually get here)!
This is probably an easy one, but a fun one. Quiz: What is this structure?
* * * * * * *
And tell me, what are you up to this weekend? Anything fun? Good weather? The snow is practically all melted in Burlington (hallelujah), at least until we get a good April storm. ;)
Georgia Pop Quiz Answer
For the Preservation Pop Quiz, Georgia edition. If you're following the comments, you'll see that the answer has already been revealed (from the knowledgeable Andrew P. Wood). However, for those who do not track comments, read on.
The mystery structure is a smoke house that was part of the Granite Hill Plantation in Sparta, Georgia. The answer (as well as the quiz) comes from Chad Carlson.
The plantation was owned by Andrew Jackson Lane in the 1850s. At the time of the Civil War it had 74 slaves, 22 structures, on 2200 acres. The smoke house was the last remnant of the plantation. The main house was moved to Macon, GA, in 1968, and was destroyed by a fire very soon thereafter. (You can see the smokehouse in the background of the main house.) Most thought it was a jail for slaves because of the bars on the windows. I came across an article on Granite Hill Planation from the "Southern Cultivator" magazine from 1859 wherein it mentions "a two story smokehouse of finely dressed granite." Since meat would have been the most valuable commodity on the plantation the bars were placed in the windows to keep people out. Given the size of the building it was probably also used for storage of other commodities as well.
The Sparta Kaoline Corporation bought the property in 1998 to mine the granite beneath the building. Stonemason Brent Kickbush was hired to destroy the smokehouse. His attempts to find someone to have the smoke house reconstructed on their property were unsuccessful and the building was torn down.

Preservation Pop Quiz: A Georgian Mystery
Let's pretend it's not freezing cold and winter, shall we? (Though if you are a skier, you love this weather, I know.) Turn your attention to the southeast. Georgia, to be exact.
What's your guess?
Mystery Answer: Sutton, VT
Last week I posted a photograph of an abandoned less building that's missing all of its windows in Sutton, VT, asking if anyone had an idea of what it could be. While I love offering up a pop-quiz, I had only an inkling and no answer to this building. Your answers were creative: chicken house (perhaps a reference to the last quiz?), jail, sewing shop, school?
Thankfully, I can always count on the State Architectural Historian to lend a hand to my building quandaries. That is to say, while my guess was accurate, I owe the complete answer to the State Architectural Historian (thank you!). So what is it? Your hint: the neighboring property is the Portland Pipe Line Corporation.
This brick building is the former pump house for the Portland Pipe Line Corp., built in 1941. Originally 21.5 acres, the complex included the pump house, a brick boiler house, a Quonset hut, and a nearby eight single family dwellings for workers and their families. And here's the most interesting part: at the time of construction, Sutton did not have electricity. Meaning, the pumping station was self sufficient and siphoned crude oil from the pipeline to power the generator in the boiler house. The pump house and all of the homes had their own electric plant.
The Not-a-Chicken-House Pop Quiz Answer
Most everyone thinks this building is a chicken house. That was my first guess, as it was many of yours.
It's not. Nor is it a sugar house. But, it does have to do with agriculture. This building is located on the former Vermont State Tree Farm in Essex, VT (Chittenden County). In fact, this building is a seed extractory building, part of the tree farm. What does that mean? (I asked the Vermont State Architectural Historian the same question! Below is his answer:)
Pine cones would be placed on mesh grates in front of the banks of windows, where the heat of the sun would dry them out and cause them to open up ("cone flaring"). The pinecone seeds would then be removed, and voila! New seeds for planting the next crop of Vermont's seedlings, which were shipped all over the state for re-forestation projects. By the late 1800s, 80% of Vermont's forests had been cleared. To counteract this deforestation, the Vermont State Tree Farm was established in 1922 to grow new trees. By 1924, this tree farm was transplanting 2 million seedlings a year. Prior to this, seedlings were imported from Germany.
Today the tree farm is home to recreational fields serving the town of Essex, Vermont.
Preservation Pop Quiz
What is this building? How did you guess? Hint: it's located in Vermont.
Preservation Pop Quiz
A pop quiz, of the "this one or that one" type, and why?
All other elements being equal (hypothetically), would you choose:
This railing?
OR this railing?
Please provide your reason for choosing one over the other.

No, that is not a cynically-crafted Photoshop job. You can see the whole thing right here.
Publimetro is the Latin American branch of the Swedish Metro media company (no relation to UK's Metro). What you're looking at here is indeed their coverage of the escalating conflict on the Gaza strip plastered with a full-page ad for the newest Transformers movie. Perhaps Publimetro has the scoop on Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system (ACTUALLY AN AUTOBOT, PERHAPS IRONHIDE) or maybe it's some kind of ironic commentary on the commoditization of war... or maybe it's just a sad statement about the struggles of print media in a digital age.
Point is, let's never mix real life-threatening missiles and Michael Bay missiles ever again, shall we?
For the record, the cover story of this issue is about the World Cup. Of course:
Advice Columnist, Amy Dickinson, lays in to a half-assed, ignoramus of a parent in response to this person expressed that his or her son is only "being gay" in revenge for "forgetting his birthday for the past three years."
The South African Newspaper, Cape Times , cleverly took a number of famous photos and digitally modified them to appear as though they're selfies for a recent ad campaign. Each photo is accompanied with the tagline: "You can't get closer to the news."
In what appears to be a terrible misfortune of oversight, the South Carolinian newspaper Rock Hill Herald has issued an apology after running a large advertisement for firearm sales alongside its coverage of the Connecticut school shooting in the Saturday edition. While the editor of the newspaper explained that it wasn't intentional on anyone's part as the ad placement had been determined on Thursday morning prior to the tragic development on the next day, he also acknowledged the fault on failing to recognize the mishap before running the paper for delivery on Saturday morning.
Believe it or not, a similar episode had been previously reported back in July, when The Denver Post displayed a banner ad for shotguns directly above its coverage of Aurora theater mass shooting in Colorado and subsequently issued an apology.
Someone in Holdrege, NE didn't plan on getting that high in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. The article was found in the Holdrege Daily Citizen.

Meanwhile, for the polenta, heat the milk and stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the parmesan and butter and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the kale for 4-5 minutes, or until wilted and tender. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the squid for 1-2 minutes, or until just cooked. Season, to taste, with lemon juice and salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon some polenta onto each of 4 serving plates, top with the pork cheeks and squid and spoon the kale alongside.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

SAN FRANCISCO — Police and firefighters are getting a long-anticipated boost in staffing levels, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said Wednesday.
Six academy classes totaling 300 law enforcement candidates will be added under a new two-year budget, and over the next six years, the department will continue to hire three classes of 50 officers, according to ABC 7.
Currently, the department is about 200 officers short of the city-mandated number of 1,971 officers. Over the next three years, about 300 additional officers will be lost because a program offering more work for retired officers is ending.
Technology such as using computer tablets to write incident reports will be a focus of the new classes.
"If we can get our officers more connected, they can stay out on patrol longer, the back and forth to desktop computers goes away. These are all things we're working toward," SFPD Chief Greg Suhr said.
The fire department is an at all-time low in staffing but has set a goal of hiring 252 new recruits.

This mini-documentary, filmed last week during the lead-up to the sisters' presentation during London Fashion Week, provides an inside look at everyone and everything involved in the making of a major catwalk show: the designers, the pattern-cutters, the machinists, the stylists, the make-up artists, the models, the managers, even the runway engineers. And because it was shot entirely on the Nokia N86 8MP, the footage is more candid and revealing than ever. So take a look backstage, behind closed doors, and inside the ordinarily confidential areas of Felder Felder's runway preparations for Spring/Summer 2010, live by Nokia, and check back tomorrow for the next instalment!

Proof that fab-smelling, feel-good beauty treats don't have to blow the budget, we're loving Johnson's new 24 Hour Moisture Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash With Shea & Cocoa Butters (£2.99, available now at chemists and supermarkets), which has the most yummy, made-for-summer scent and helps to get skin glowing (it's a great one to use pre-self-tanning).
Another hot weather favourite, Sanex's new Dermo Hypro Allergenic Shower Gel (£1.95) is formulated for very sensitive skin. But we just love the fresh, uplifting smell and the fact that it feels gentle on the skin and not drying.
A note to family festival-goers: the Johnson's Baby team will be at Camp Bestival this year – taking place at Lulworth Castle, Dorset, from Friday 30 July – Sunday 1 August – with a bespoke Johnson's Baby "flower" baby changing area (more info on this to come!) and toddlers' play area, amongst other things. They'll also be giving away 1,000 packs of Johnson's Baby Skincare Wipes (a camping must-pack) over the weekend. For more info and tickets, visit campbestival.co.uk).

An Ancient Heritage In Modern Times
With almost every historical account of laudable tales in the world of wrestling, be it Olympic history, sports science, or ancient accounts of greatness, two aspects of life are always paired. Those are, times of intense training and noted periods of rest and relaxation. The ancient wrestlers knew that truly great athletes, , Directstar TV, need access to those things that help a human being stay primed for competition. Though the activities that constitute "rest†have changed a great deal in the past few millennia, the concept remains the same. Wrestlers, especially those that rely on constant muscular growth, endurance and explosive power should concentrate as much as possible on letting their bodies recover after training or competition. Going through the routine of cleaning-up nutrition, increasing cardio activity, weight loss and hours upon hours of intense practice takes its toll on the body. It doesn't matter how physically tough and ready you think you are. If you are lacking in sleep, mineral replenishment and hydration, you will never perform at your peak. It is also proven that in order to maintain daily function, the brain uses up to 20% of all the nutrients you put in your body. If you are too drawn out and lacking in vital necessities (including rest), you will not mentally make it through the first round. Take a cue from the ancients and make it a priority to enjoy your time off!
An Adreneline Rush On The Mat
When you are invested in wrestling as a sport, you will find that it can be tough to stay calm when you first get on to the mat. The truth is that the adrenaline rush of when you first go to face an opponent can be intense, and if you are not prepared for it, it can lead to you making some serious mistakes when the big moment comes.
First, remember that wrestling bouts are a lot shorter than they necessarily feel. You are basically
Sweat, Grunts, And A Referee Whistle
Wrestling is one of the most exciting sports at the junior, high school and collegiate level. Wrestlers are some of the hardest working athletes in sports and are required to work harder than many of their compatriots to ensure that they are in top physical condition before they enter a match. Since wrestlers have to make weight before they fight an opponent, they are often required to go without food for several days before a match or they are required to hit the track or steam room in their full warm-up suits in
The Competitive World Inside The Ring
Wrestling is a sport dating back thousands of years. It's contested from a young age to adulthood, from grammar school all the way up to the Olympic level and beyond. Generally, this is considered to be known as the Greco-Roman style of wrestling.
The concept of the sport involves two people using a variety of holds to eventually pin the opponent's shoulders to the ground. Some of the most famous moves include bear hugs, arm drags, headlocks and the suplex. The wrestlers are scored
Passion And Pride Within The Ring
Understanding passion and pride within the ring can be extremely difficult for people who do not understand the origins of wrestling. It has been one of the most beloved sports among people of all ages for countless centuries. Many people do not realize that this ancient sport has ties that go all the way back to ancient Greek culture, and that is why it is considered such a special sport among its fans. It is important to have a solid understanding of the sport's true history to see why
The Men Of Wrestling, Past And Present
Wrestling has been around for ages and has had its share of heroic characters. It experienced a huge boom in America in the 1980s thanks to pro wrestlers with great stage presence. One of the most popular of these wrestling stars is Hulk Hogan. His mainstream movie and television success has brought the sport into the limelight. He also creates precedence for pro wrestlers entering the entertainment industry. A modern example of this can be seen in The Rock. While his wrestling career may not have been that long, his transition into movies as a
Arm In Arm And Skin To Skin
Wrestling is the manifest control over every part of the body in an effort to completely dominate an opponent. What if you could only use one body part?
If you have ever heard the name John Breznk, you will be familiar with the ultimate in physical control. Whereas wrestling is the matching of two whole bodies, arm wrestling matches two specific body parts. John Breznk's story and success is a model for any wrestler wanting to gain insights into the

Associated Press
SOELDEN, Austria (AP) -- Ted Ligety maintained his dominance in giant slalom by taking the season-opening World Cup race by a 0.79-second winning margin Sunday, while Bode Miller finished 19th upon his return to the circuit following a 20-month injury layoff.
Ligety, who won six of eight races last season and defended his world title in GS, held on to his massive 0.90-second first-run lead to finish in an aggregate 1 minute, 59.50 seconds.
Alexis Pinturault of France came second, and overall champion Marcel Hirscher of Austria was 1.02 behind in third.
While winning his 18th career title -- all in GS -- Ligety became the first to win the season opener in three straight years, and he matched Austrian standout Hermann Maier's three victories on the Rettenbach glacier in 1998, 2000 and '05.
