New atrial fibrillation causes stroke, death in people with severe sepsis? (JAMA)
Severe sepsis makes the heart irritable, probably due to all the evil humors and increased cardiac demand. Between 6-20% of patients with severe sepsis develop atrial fibrillation for the first time; that's old news. What's been unclear is what new-onset atrial fibrillation in severe sepsis means: is it an expected, yeah-so-what marker of critical illness, or does it signal more severe disease, predicting mortality or post-hospital disability?
Allan Walkey et al used the California State Inpatient Database to identify 49,082 hospitalizations with an ICD-9 billing code for severe sepsis. 2,896 of these patients also had a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation during the hospitalization (14%). (Diagnoses in this database were identified as being present on admission, or not.)
Compared with hospitalized patients without severe sepsis, patients with severe sepsis had an increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (demographics- and comorbidity-adjusted odds ratio, 6.82; 95% CI, 6.54-7.11; P < .001).
Age, being more severely ill either acutely (organ failures) and/or chronically (chronic illnesses), all increased the likelihood of developing new-onset atrial fibrillation with severe sepsis.
That's all interesting and helpful, and doesn't mess up my day. But then the good Dr. Walkey and team stirred the pot a bit. They further queried the database regarding the incidence of in-hospital stroke, especially embolic stroke, and its potential relationship to mortality (can you see where this may be going)?
People with severe sepsis and new onset atrial fibrillation had an unadjusted in-hospital mortality of 56%, significantly higher than those who came in with pre-existing A-fib (44% mortality) or those with no previous A-fib documented (38%). Sensitivity analyses, including adjusting for number of organ failures, did not change the relationship, although I'm not qualified to critique these methods or their likelihood of uncovering truth here.
The real conundrum emerges from their report of the in-hospital ischemic stroke rates in people with severe sepsis:
- 2.6% in those with new-onset A-fib;
- Only 0.57-0.69% in those with pre-existing or no A-fib.
After controlling for multiple variables using 4 regression models, and nearest-neighbor-matching patients on their likelihood of new-onset a-fib …
- The odds ratio for ischemic stroke was 2.75 – 4.0 for those with new-onset atrial fibrillation, compared to those without.
- The odds ratio for mortality was 1.1 – 1.3. (all stat.significant)
As a final epidemiological flourish, they set out to demonstrate that this elevated stroke risk from severe-sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation persisted after hospitalization. They found a handful of people (~400 or so of a cohort of tens of thousands) who were re-hospitalized with a new ischemic stroke after a hospitalization for severe sepsis. Those who had had new-onset a-fib during their severe sepsis admission were disproportionately represented (they had a 2% risk vs. 1.3-1.5% for those without new-onset atrial fib), a hazard ratio of 1.5 which just missed statistical significance.
What are you trying to do, make us anticoagulate all these patients, Dr. Walkey? (I guess at least they won't be on Xigris.)

In an excellent editorial, fellow outcomes numbers-crunching physician-investigators Christopher Goss and Shannon Carson point out some potential limitations of the data, while being cautiously impressed by the robustness of the findings to the multiple sensitivity analyses. (It sounds like they don't want to anticoagulate these patients, either.)

The Power of Social Media: Campaign Manager Resigns After Posting Fake Tweets
By Vicki Salemi on October 31, 2012 2:41 PM
When we read about this story on JimRomenesko, we couldn't believe our eyes. And then once we started to digest the information, it brought up a variety of employment-related questions.
First, as for the scoop: Amidst Hurricane Sandy, @comfortablysmug was infiltrating the Twitterverse with frightening and false information about conditions in NYC. Not underestimating the power of social media, it spread very quickly onto news broadcasts before officials could even refute it to set the record straight. Read more

Wesley Sharp, 40, was jailed Thursday, charged with first degree sexual assault of a child.
According to a police report, Sharp used a finger to sexually penetrate a juvenile several times.
Recently, the girl slept over at the home of Sharp and his wife on Jan. 5, and Sharp insisted the girl sleep in the couples bed. The girl said she woke up to Wesley digitally penetrating her. On Wednesday, Sharp reportedly gave the alleged victim a ride home and assaulted her again after he pulled over near Cody Park, again using his finger.
Similar assaults reportedly took place during the past three years, police said.
Sharp was placed in the Lincoln County jail, held on $250,000 bond.
Pamela Trevino, 55, was jailed Thursday, charged with third-degree assault of her boyfriend.
A police officer responded to a complaint at 3:45 a.m. in the 1400 block of Rodeo Road, where a man said his live-in girlfriend hit him. The man had a swollen eye, according to the police report.
Trevino could not be immediately found, but later she returned and reportedly hit him again. Police said Trevino had no injuries.
Alcohol was reportedly involved. Both individuals had been partaking, according to the report.

Comments: I love the 1004, as it lasted inside and out. The MC 1005, after 3 months of wear, had a hole worn out

Comments: This is my second pair of MC 1005 2E, and I play on hard court in hot weather in Texas. It's light and
I like the 1005-2E more than 1004-2E (which are heavier/harder and I used 5 pairs in 3 years). I have wide feet and the 2E model

Comments: I have worn the New Balance for many years and have enjoyed the fit and stablity of the older models
the 1005. They did away with the inner shoe lining, and the insole does not have as much support (I got shin splints the first

Whole Foods Earnings Surprises Wall Street
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Whole Foods Market (WFM) surged in after-market trading after the specialty supermarket surprised Wall Street by beating analysts' quarterly earnings estimates. It also announced a two-for-one stock split.
The Austin, Texas-based company said that for its fiscal second quarter, which ended on April 14, sales rose 13.3% to $3.03 billion, meeting analysts' expectations.
The supermarket reported to the upside with regard to its bottom line. Whole Foods reported quarterly net income of $142 million, or 76 cents a diluted share. Earnings per share rose 19% compared to the prior year's quarter.
Analysts on average, according to Thomson Reuters, were expecting the specialty supermarket retailer to post earnings per share of 73 cents.Whole Foods shares ended the day up 1.1% to $92.80. Shares surged in after-hours trading, up 7.5% to $99.75. The company's comparable store sales rose 6.9%, it said. Whole Foods also announced a two-for-one stock split of outstanding common stock to be issued through a stock dividend. Whole Foods shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2013 will be entitled to the dividend on May 29, 2013 of one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock they own. The stock split will increase the total number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 185 million to 370 million, out of the 600 million shares of common stock currently authorized, based on the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of April 14. "The demand for fresh, healthy foods continues to grow, and we are leading the way as America's healthiest grocery store with close to seven million customers visiting our stores each week," John Mackey, Whole Foods' co-founder and co-CEO said in a statement. "We believe we will continue to gain market share as we accelerate our new store openings, improve our relative value proposition while maintaining our high quality standards, and further differentiate our shopping experience." Whole Foods narrowed its guidance for comparable and identical store sales growth for the fiscal year and raised full-year EPS guidance to a range to $2.86 to $2.89. The company now expects sales growth between 12% and 14% and diluted earnings per share growth between 15% and 17%. The company also expects a "significant year-over-over increase in pre-opening and relocation expense" in the fourth quarter based on the opening of 12 new stores along with a high number of openings in the first quarter of 2014. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

One image that seems to be associated with Ozark hillbillies more than any other is that of the humble, rustic outhouse. Countless cartoon images have been drawn of hillbillies with a Kentucky rifle in their hand running to take cover behind the outhouse. During the 1960′s, this was an image on every bottle of Mountain Dew soft drinks. If you grew up in the rural Ozarks and you're over forty, or if you visited your grandparents in the country, then you are probably well acquainted with that little old shack out back.
One thing about them that might come as shock is that in reality most of the hillbillies of the nineteenth century Ozarks did NOT have an outhouse. Folks that lived in town or prosperous farmers are the ones that always had one. So, what did the backwoods folk do?
Well, the answer is what the old timers referred to as "going to the woods." Sometimes, especially in bad weather, pa and boys would run to the barn (if they had one). Ma and the girls would sometimes run to the chicken house. Otherwise, you went into the bushes and picked a place to do your business.
Dig a Pit
As the 1900's rolled around, most families did build an outhouse. They were usually built with unpainted boards of yellow pine, with split white oak shingles on the roof. Sometimes a pit would be dug under it and sometimes a piece of tin was nailed over the lower back end of the little building. This was so it could be cleaned out. There was a time when the clean out was considered fertilizer and it was spread on the garden. However with the advancement of the times, even hillbillies came to realize that was not a healthy thing to do. In fact that was a major cause of dysentery in the 1800's.
When the outhouse was built over a pit it could be moved. When the pit started getting full, or was too stinky, a new pit could be dug and the outhouse was moved over it. Then the old pit was filled in with dirt.
Most of the outhouses were what they called "two-holers." That is, there a choice of two holes to sit. There may have been times and situations when folks were very social with their outhouse time, but just like today it was mostly time spent alone. Often the two holes were cut in different sizes–one for adults and another one for smaller bottoms.
A common expression in the old days was, "Don't fall in." It was something that small children worried about. There were lots of jokes and stories from the old days about that.
The door was hung on a couple of barn hinges. Sometimes a makeshift lock was made by cutting of the end of a man's belt. The piece of leather was nailed to the door and on the inside was another nail. By hooking one of the belt holes over the nail, you had a lock that could not be opened from the outside.
Of course, there usually wasn't any kind of lock on the door. Proper etiquette dictated that when you approached the door you were supposed to knock and say, "Anybody in thar?" I have also seen an outhouse with the door made purposely short with a gap at the bottom. This is so you can see the feet of the occupant and know you need to wait.
Sun and Moon
These days you always see cartoon pictures of a hillbilly outhouse with the moon on the door. The fact is that there were two symbols in the old days. Churches usually had two nice outhouses. The one for men had the symbol of a sun with rays cut into the top of the door. The one for women had the quarter moon symbol. This was a time when many people could not read or write. The symbols were understood by all.
Bad Weather
There were times when the weather was so bad that no one wanted to go skipping down the path out back. Folks kept commodes, or a "thunder mug" as they were affectionately known, under their bed for times when they too sick, the weather was too bad, or when it was just too dark out there. No one had flashlights before the 1940's. Nobody wanted to step on a snake or kick a bobcat out in the dark.
In the old days, Halloween was more about tricks than treats. If there was someone in the community that folks didn't like much, then that person's outhouse would usually be a target. The least that could happen was for the outhouse to get tipped over. It was an especially good joke if the owner happened to be inside it when it happened.
Other than that, anything could happen. It could burn down. You could find it in the barn loft or your front porch the next morning. If someone really had it in for you, it could end up in the middle of the road at First and Main in the nearest town.
Over Sharing
Well, I could tell you a lot more about outhouses but I have to stop sometime. Chances are that I have told you much more than you wanted to know already. Feel free to leave a comment and share your own outhouse stories.

Beef Sofrito on Zoodles
This delicious dinner I created tonight takes all of about 10 minutes if you have the sofrito sauce made up and in the freezer. I try to keep some made up all the time. Its delicious on so many things. My husband (who isnt low-carbing 100%) said he would like to have his on steamed rice next time. Im sure that would be good for your non-low-carb diners. But it was VERY good on my zoodles (zucchini noodles) and would doubtless be good over steamed, slightly mashed cauliflower. This dish as written is suitable for all phases of Atkins, Primal and Paleo diners as well.
1.5 T. olive oil or coconut oil (I used half each)
2 oz. yellow onion, sliced
10 oz. lean beef chuck or sirloin (I used a small, grass-fed flat-iron steak)
4 T. sofrito sauce (see link below)
2 7-0z. zucchini or calaba squash (only outer part was used)
DIRECTIONS: Slice your squash into noodles using a julienne peeler, or a Spirooli or Noodler if you own one of those tools. I only cut down to the seeded part of the squash when I make zoodles, saving the center, seed-laden portion of the squash for other uses, usually casseroles. So only 4 oz. of each 7-oz. squash actually went into this dish.
Trim your meat of all visible fat and scriffin. Pound thin and slice into small pieces. In a medium non-stick skillet, heat about 1 T. of the oil and saute onion over high heat until it begins to brown. Add meat and saute until it, too, begins to brown. While it is browning, add zoodles to a second skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. Saute-steam, stirring with a long-tined kitchen fork to stir. Cook them until they are just beginning to get translucent and soft. Turn heat off the zoodles. Turn heat off the meat skillet now, too. Add the sofrito sauce to the meat mixture and stir to blend. Plate half the zoodles on each of your dinner plates and top each pile of zoodles with half the meat mixture. I served this with a marinated cucumber and tomato salad but it would also be good with broiled, seasoned tomatoes.

The Sofrito recipe is in this post: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...n-sofrito.html
Wow, gorgeous photo, I must get a julienne peeler.Great recipe.
Thanks, Dee. It's my little fool-proof point-n-shoot Canon camera. This dish was real tasty. I suspect I could have used lean pork with good results, too.
Mmmm that looks yummy.
Is delicious as is this recipe. You are one good cook!
Going to make this often using a variety of meats!
What device are you using to make the zoodles? So many choices on Amazon.:stars:
Aww, thanks Barb. Glad you like this one. Easy, huh?
Dee, I just use a hand held julienne peeler. Some pieces come out in a "corregated" sheet and I have to slit the ridges apart with a knife to get perfect appearance, but I often don't bother. It does a fairly good job for about $7.00 on an Amazon buy. Sorry I don't remember the brand. This isn't the one I have, but it's similar and works like the one shown: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...us/Capture.jpg
Thanks for the tip. Simple is better for me, I have very limited storage space and can't collect big gadgets.
Me either. Barely enough cupboards for the basics in my galley-type kitchen.
Galley Kitchen
Peggy I have one too. I love mine. Everything is right at the fingertips.
Only another experienced cook could work with me in it.
Not husbands or guests etc.....
Yeah, my husband has learned to stay out of mine when I'm cooking. He moves so slow and he's invariably between me and what I need when he comes in the kitchen at cooking time. LOL
Sounds good! Thank you!
Buttoni: good thing I don't have smell-check on this iPad as I'm already drooling. Looks gr8!!
Smell-check. LOL That's a good one.
I just love the taste of this Sofrito. I keep thinking of new ways to use it. I had a dab on scrambled eggs one morning and MAN was that ever good! It's a great condiment for taco salads. :)
Peggy, I made this last night, with just a few tweaks. I cut up the squash in long thin strips with a knife, as I didn't have a slicer. I cooked the pieces in butter and sprinkled parmesan on top. I didn't use onions with the meat, we are re inducting, too many carbs right now. My sofrito sauce tasted a little "earthy" so I added the juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 lime. And a sprinkle of chipotle powder. The combo of tastes, smells and the freshness of the zoodles and sauce was outstanding. My husband just kept saying how good it all was. Thank you so much, it took our minds off the terrible smoke and heat from yet another fire in our area. I'll be making this again and again.:)
Glad you guys liked it. The parsley is what gives it the earthy taste IMO. You might like less parsley in your next batch. Then the cilantro flavor will dominate. I keep making it "again and again" as I just keep thinking of new ways to use it. We just LOVE this stuff. :)
Actually, I didn't have parsley so used a bit more cilantro. :)
I was just reading an interview with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a recent O magazine and sofrito was mentioned. She shared how her aunts all gathered in the kitchen and chopped and blended for hours and laughed and talked when they cooked. I didn't know it was the base for all Puerto Rican cooking.
We had some last night on the chicken thighs I cooked in a cast iron skillet. Wonderful!
I even whipped 1/4 c. into my Italian Tuna Pate recipe today and that was great, too! I haven't found anything I don't like this stuff on or in, Dee. I think it's going into a lot of my regular Mexican casserole-type dishes this year. :)

Rather than follow all the storylines at once, the film follows one persons storyline for the twenty minutes leading up to the assassination attempt. Once we see the shots hit the President, we start over from another characters perspective. As we watch each segment unfold, new details get revealed. Only after all the characters have told their stories do we finally understand what actually happened.
While some have compared the film to Kurosawa's Rashomon, they really are completely different movies. Rashomon used each persons storyline to show how we all view an event differently, but Vantage Point never changes what actually happened, just the perspective of how you see the event unfolding.
Anyway, now for the reason youre here, the interview with Edgar Ramirez.
Since Vantage Point relies heavily on not knowing that much about the characters and their motivations, all Ill say is that Edgar plays one of the main characters in the movie. Sorry for being vague, the less you know the better.
During the interview we talked about how he got into acting, all the movies hes been involved with, and what he has coming up. Actually, it was one of the best interviews from the junket.
And if you missed the movie clips I previously posted you might want to watch them before reading the interview. You can click here to see them. Finally, heres the MP3 of the interview in case youd rather listen to it.
Vantage Point gets released this Friday.
Question: Did you develop a back-story beyond what its shown in the film?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, but its something that I usually do with each character just to have my
I mean I do my homework, so because its important to me to have some sort of reference even though sometimes the script or just the whole story doesnt give it for me its important to have something real and built to rely on to solve the conflicts of the character. So I did it. I mean, my character because of his brother and all the--you know his attempts to set his brother; he had a real motivation that it was always there. However, I build my own story to try to give him some sort of, you know, humanity that is pivotal in building any character.
Question: What about the special forces aspect which is a nice surprising development, but its sort of all of a sudden he becomes you know the Schwarzenegger action hero of this movieassassin anyway? Did you meet Special Forces people or do weapons training?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, yeah. I had the privilege to work and to train with real Special Forces agents.
Question: What was it like?
Edgar Ramirez: Luckily, yeah, it was very tough because one of them is one of my best friends so he didnt have any mercy with me during training, so he was even more demanding to me than he would have been to any other actor because were child friends, but it was great. Hes a member of the Elite Anti-Terrorist troop in Venezuela so I could train with the real people. And I had also the chance to hang out with them and also focus on the psychological aspect of these guys to fully understand that they sweat, they make love, the go on dates, they have barbecues, they have sisters and brothers and for me that was important because we tend to think that all these characters, like either terrorists or special forces agents from any legitimate army in the world, they tend to be these robots, you know? These kinds of androids who dont sweat, dont hesitate, who fear nothing and it is not the reality. So for me it was important to put my focus on that too. So the training was both physically and psychologically.
Q: Your career seems to be, you know all of a sudden you have this huge international career; youre in the new Soderbergh film about Che Guevara with Benicio. How did that happen? Was that your ambition to sort of launch?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah. Well, I decided to become an actor 6 years ago. I majored in political communications so I intended to be a diplomat. I was trying to get my life somewhere else. So for me just making the decision of becoming an actor was already like big and severe enough so I hoped to make movies. Whatever they were, you know set and whatever stories and touching characters were available for me. So I always saw the world as my stagelike my place of work. I think for an actor the whole world is a place of work because if you focus on characters and on stories they are everywhere, so yeah, I feel very privileged to have had this great opportunities in the international cinema and especially in the American cinema.
Q: Was it Amores Perros that put you on this platformthis international platform?
Edgar Ramirez: Well, what it did was to help me make the choice. I met Alejandro González Iñárritu years ago during my college days and I was in charge of international promotion of this movie festival he was invited to as part of the jury, and then he saw my work on a short film that was directed by a friend of mine. But he did it out of a favor. It was like a hobby for me to perform at that time and then he liked it and he offered the possibility to be in Amores Perros but it was during my thesis. I was going to the Harvard National Model UN that year, I was involved in my other activities and I didnt do it. I didnt try enough to go to Mexico and do it. So 3 years later I was working already in politics in my country and then I think he came back to Venezuela but he wasnt coming from Mexico, he was coming from Cannes so that would make me say, okay whats the worst that can happen? I mean, lets try and try it.
Q: Could you talk about shooting the different vantage points sequences for this movie and did you tally your performance or alter your performanceForest Whitaker said he tried not to do that. That he pretty much did the same. What about you because your vantage is obviously more detailed than some of the other characters.
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, I agree with Forest on that. We all tried to mostly focus on our own storyline and just you know like try to solve our comforts and go for it. But in certain moments we had to be aware that we were in someone elses vantage point, in someone elses you know, point of view for technical reasons. And in order not to give out the plot and in order to complete I think the intention of the movie that is to show that nothing is what it seems and that everything will depend on the point of view from where youre seeing it, so yeah, it was a combination of both.
Q: Was that confusing at all to the continuity trying to figure out
Edgar Ramirez: No, not really. I mean, in my case I always break down the script to my storyline because as an actor I cant know more about my character than my character itself, so for me I had like my own sequence like all articulated, you know to keep the continuity.
Q: What was the most physically challenging part of making this film for you?
Edgar Ramirez: Probably the car chase because I did my own stunts.
Q: Did you really?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah I went out of the window. It was me, yeah. So I was hurt and I had to hold myself you know from the side from the holders and then shoot it back to them who was behind me.
Q: And you were shooting blanks we hope?
Edgar Ramirez: Yes, of course. And I checked!
Q: Can you talk a little bit about working for Soderbergh on the back-to-back projects?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, it was great. It was really great. I mean, hes one of the
for me one of the finest American directors of you know of the most recent years. I think hes got a
hes so solid. Hes got such a clear idea of what he wants when hes shooting and he conveys it in such a harmonious way, you know, because shooting Che was very difficult. The weather conditions were just extreme. We didnt have to
I mean were really guerilla and all messed up and dehydrated and everything. We were shooting in Puerto Rico which is such a humid area and we were improvising a lot and however keeping, you know, the consistency and the coherence of the movie. It was really great for me. It was a great privilege.
Q: It is very guerilla the way hes shooting it or is there a lot of storyboards hes trying to keep?
Edgar Ramirez: Storyboards. I think that its actually like a very contemplative movie and we had the privilege to shoot it chronologically.
Q: Oh really? How different an experience has that been in terms of your character in the movie then?
Edgar Ramirez: In the The Argentine?
Q: Yeah.
Edgar Ramirez: I mean, its great because its like being on stage. I mean, you go from one to two to three to four and of course its great because you solve each conflict and you go through each stage of your characters arch, you know step by step and its fantastic. And if it can be common experience then its even better.
Q: For the people who dont know, can you tell a little bit about what each film is about?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, The Argentine is the first one and it goes from Mexico to Cuba. Its the first stage is the earlier stages of the revolution. It goes from Gremla to Havana to Santa Clara and Guerilla goes from Cuba all the way to Bolivia. So its the 2. Its the story of the whole attentive revolution that Che Guevara was trying to carry out in the world, especially Latin America. Its all in 2 parts because it a big
Q: And who do you play exactly.
Edgar Ramirez: I played Ciro Redondo. He was one of Che Guevaras lieutenants. He was one of the few who was school educated so he was very much involved in the vocational aspect of the revolution because it was about freedom of education. It was about fighting and learning so my character was very focused on that.
Q: Can you talk a little bit about working with Benicio and did you guy rehearse a lot?
Edgar Ramirez: Not really, no, no. It was an extreme happening. I mean we were there and we didnt rehearse that much probably for technical reasons and then we went for it. Hes an amazing actor. Hes got such a density, you know, as an actor. Hes really committed and also very generous as an actor.
Q: Is there a period of time when theyre being released apart or how are they
Edgar Ramirez: I have no idea. I dont know what theyre going to do with the release.

Q: And is your character that youre playing, the lieutenant, is he still alive? Did you get to meet him or is he dead?
Edgar Ramirez: No, actually one of the interesting things about Ciro Redondo is he died before the revolution was fulfilled, so he died being a idealist, so it was very romantic. And actually there are some people that say that he died probably one monthno, he died a year before the final battle that let the revolution win. And some people say some researchers that the hat that Che Guevara is famous for belongs to Ciro Redondo that he picked it up at the battle where he was shot. He was shot in the head.
Q: Was there any footage or anything that existed that you could base any research on? Or how did you prepare for the part?
Edgar Ramirez: Nothing. I mean, I had interviews with people who met him; people that knew him from the time and then many elementary schools in Cuba are named after him because of his involvement with education during the revolution. And I just got access to some pictures because as I said before he didnt survive so he couldnt be filmed much or anything. I tried to base my research more on what people told me about him, about how apparently he was very loved by the troop. He was a teacher so he had a very easy understanding with the troops who were a bunch of kids who were not trained militaries. They were just peasants and people who wanted to help somehow, so were not talking about any structured army that will follow orders so charisma and understanding and care was important to motivate these people, to encourage these people to go through the harshest circumstances they have to go through to fulfill the revolution.
Q: Other people were talking about security measures that were taken to shoot in Mexico City, as a Latin American do you feel you have the same risks as like Dennis Quaid or Matthew Cox or do you feel it was a bit overblown?
Edgar Ramirez: No, I mean its totally understandable. Its a matter of being familiar or not to the environment. For me it was a walk in the clouds. I mean, I come from Caracas, so you know, nobodys going to fool me Mexico City, I mean, I come from one of the most violent cities in the world, so theres no
its like going to Rio de Janeiro. Im on red-alert all the time because thats how we live. Thats exactly what defines the 3rd world. I mean, you have the 1st world and the 3rd world, you know, co-living in the same space just one street in front of the other. You have amazing financial districts and you have people who practically live analytical times. So, thats the environment that I grew up, but I totally understand that a person who comes from a different environment would take precautions and of course I took precautions. I mean, we were staying in one of the fanciest areas in Mexico City, but I would not walk by myself when it got dark on a empty street because thats tempting something to happen.
Q: Now that youve wrapped on these two films from Soderbergh, what do you have coming up?
Edgar Ramirez: Well, there are some interesting things coming together that I will comment on now. I have a huge promotion, youve heard from me on Vantage Point and also with Cyrano Fernandez - that is a Venezuelan movie that I star in and co-produced and its based on the romance of Cyrano de Bergerac. And its set in a Venezuelan slum. Its a free version of the French play.
Q: Do you play the Cyrano character or the
Edgar Ramirez: I play Cyrano.
Q: With the big nose?
Edgar Ramirez: No, with a big scar.
Q: No nose?
Edgar Ramirez: No nose, no because it would be too
it would not be real for the reality of a favela you know? It would be too theatrical so we appealed to the deformation of his face.
Q: And where do you live now? Where is home?
Edgar Ramirez: I live in Caracas. Caracas.
Q: You commute to L.A.?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah. 12 hours, 14 hours depending on connections.
Q: We didnt talk to you for the Bourne movie, but what was your experience like?
Edgar Ramirez: It was great. It was great. I think that the Bourne trilogy its definitely redefined the genre and took it to a new level. It was really great to be part of that experience. It is a very smart movie and a very smart script, great director and great, you know, fellow actors. You could feel the sense of commitment on-set, you know, commitment to the creativity and to the integrity of the story and it was great. It was a very, very much inspiring experience for me.
Q: Can you talk about working for Paul Greengrass and the camera work?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, it was
Soderbergh uses the camera right?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, however he was going to be most subtle with Che. I mean, with Che he was more subtle. Paul, well hes great. Hes very organic. I mean, his style is very organic and I think that he tries to convey things visually as the human eye would see it and I think thats very interesting. For us, for the actors, we really
I mean at certain points we just forgot about the camera. You were just doing your thing and the camera was going there. I think that with Paul the camera is at the service of the action and not the action at the service of the camera, which of course an actor would always appreciate it. If you have just a voyeur like watching you and you can do your thing and not being so technically aware of what is going on. I mean, its always
it is part of the challenge of being an actor in movies to be very aware of the technicality and that is something that I relate myself very well to, however you always appreciate when the camera is just there trying to capture your moments and you dont have to worry about it.
Q: Youve been linked on the always-accurate IMDB to possibly playing Pablo Escobar.
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah.
Q: So is there any truth to that?
Edgar Ramirez: Its in works.
Q: So, would that be a dream for you to play Pablo?
Edgar Ramirez: It would be a great challenge and it would be a great responsibility to historyof contemporary historyin my region. Were talking about a character who really definitely changed the face of a whole country and the face of a whole region, and a character filled with contractions. A character who for half of his nation he represented hope and emancipation for the other half represented horror, terror and desperation, so it would be quite a challenge and something very interesting to get involved with.
Q: Is this the project you were thinking or didnt want to sort of say that this could be the thing that is happening next?
Edgar Ramirez: Among others, yeah.
Q: But now youve said it now.
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, that its in works, yeah.
Q: What do you think the percentage chance that thats your next project? Better than 50?
Edgar Ramirez: Yeah, over 50.
Q: Okay, there we go. Have a good day.

Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

Stop complaining about Female designs in league
Its fantasy and for ****s sake let the artists who design the champs realize their fantasies
Nobody cares that Elise has breasts she was once a woman
Nobody cares that outfits are revealing because Varus is practically naked and we (being men) haven't said a damn thing about him or Taric's Design
What's the problem, why do you keep bringing up female champ design? A woman who doesn't even EXIST having breasts and a decent figure is BAD to you?
Why is breasts such an issue with you people? Why is their figure such an issue? Tell me why ?
Justin BeiBR
People will never run out of things to complain about.
If every (human) male character had Varus' fashion sense, I'm pretty sure guys would be complaining about it.
These people aren't feminists.
Lets give Taric a helmet, Ezreal a suit of armor, make Rugged Garen put his helmet on, give Mantheon some proper armor, and make Varus put some clothes on.
but where are my fabio-esque lol champions
Sybil Cut
Riot has clearly stated countless times they create champions to fulfill gameplay fantasies of the players, not the designers. The fantasy genre (not just games) is riddled terribly with overly cliche and poorly characterized female characters. People want to see that change. They want women to be more than eye candy with this formulaic body-type like they belong in a modeling contest.
Men don't complain because men get to see enough variation in their champions from grotesque to wiry to bulky to pretty-boy.
The general idea here is that people don't have a problem with women characters having "perfect" features. It's them having the same "perfect" features all the time.
Variety is the spice of life.
What freaks me out is the number of scantily clad females that have the faces of underage children. Go check that out...

Lessons of a Ghost Town
Written by Jeffrey Hammond, Professor of English and George B. and Willma Reeves Endowed Chair in the Liberal Arts
"Wanna see a ghost town?" What 7-year-old could refuse this invitation, especially if it came from an older brother whose obsessions were always interesting?
The invitation stemmed from my brother's passion for trains, which had led him to investigate two massive pylons of crumbling, fitted stones in the nearby fairgrounds. Suspecting that they had once supported a railroad trestle, Dave went to the library and found some old Ohio maps that identified the abandoned line as a branch of the Cincinnati, Sandusky, and Cleveland Railroad. This branch, which ran southeast from Findlay to Carey, last appeared on a map dated 1887. This map showed something else that would disappear from the record: a village named Huber. Apparently, a ghost town lay just three miles from our house.
One bright Saturday, armed with a sketch map and some sandwiches, we walked the faint mound of the old track bed as it led out into the countryside. When it passed through stands of trees, cinders and rotted ties marked a clear path; in corn and wheat fields it became nearly invisible. As we slipped through barbed-wire fences, tip-toed through pastures of cattle and hogs, and skirted mowed farmyards to pick up the trail on the other side, my head teemed with TV and movie images of Western ghost towns. I was certain that we would discover another Deadwood or Tombstone with abandoned saloons and creaky boardwalks with hitching posts.
When we finally got to the site, of course, this was not the case at all. We saw nothing except cornfields and a county road with a rise where the tracks had crossed it. I started to whine, but Dave urged me to look harder and longer. So I did - and near the drainage ditch by the road, where the ground was too sloped and soft to plow, I caught the glint of glass shards. After kicking around in the dirt, we turned up a few rusted, square-bodied nails.
I didn't yet know that every place has its own shadow of a ghost town. Uninhabited sites hide embedded stories written by geological processes and biological evolution. At locations where people have lived, these natural stories get augmented and complicated by human ones, producing a stratigraphy of tangled narratives. Most of these narratives leave traces so faint and overwritten that they are almost impossible to read. And yet, even those of us who have little interest in history find ourselves drawn to places with a past. I suspect that this impulse refl ects our basic need not to feel isolated. People have always gathered together in space: maybe we possess a similar instinct to gather together in time.
The past of a place is rarely as present as it is at St. Mary's City. The framed-in house sites, the St. John's site, the reconstructed State House and the Roman Catholic chapel all pull the former narratives of this place into current awareness. The result is a sense of community with everyone who has shared this ground for nearly four centuries. Their stories are impossible to ignore.
Why, exactly, is historical consciousness a good thing? On the simplest level, the hardships of the past make us appreciate the present. Grow our own food? Sew our own clothes? No cars, TV, or e-mail? How did our forebears stand it? Sometimes, the quaintness of pre-industrial technology makes us yearn for the "good old days." More often, it fosters a smug sense of superiority. The notion that technological progress is the measure of all things makes it easy to succumb to the bias of "presentism": the belief that our own time and place represent the pinnacle of human history.
If we see history as a sequence of events that culminate in us, we miss a far more profound benefit of historical awareness: the humbling recognition that ours is not the only story, but only the latest to be written on a landscape filled with stories. An engaged encounter with the past mitigates our present-centered arrogance: history, if closely heeded, reminds us that our way is not the only way.
Broadened temporal perspectives can lead to broadened spatial perspectives. If we are indifferent toward people from the past, how can we develop empathy with people with whom we share the present? To respect and honor differences is the first step toward finding continuities and common ground - a fact that's as true for individuals as it is for regions, cultures, and nations, whether past or present. Philosopher George Santayana once remarked that "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." But history doesn't just tell us how to act. It also tells us who we are: squatters who are passing through the world, like countless others before us.
The earth had reclaimed the village of Huber with stunning efficiency. But as those nails I found revealed, the historical slate is rarely wiped totally clean. My brother also noticed three or four flattened rectangles in the ground: the foundation remnants of an old dream. He had even found a name for one of the dreamers in an old commercial directory: William T. Callahan, who operated Huber's general store. I made it a point to stand in the middle of each rectangle. How else could I be certain of connecting with someone who had just become a friendly ghost? Strangely, I found myself worrying about Mr. Callahan. When I wondered out loud if he had died here, in the middle of nowhere, Dave assured me that he had merely moved on, probably to a bigger and better store in nearby Findlay.
At Huber I learned that it's possible to send good wishes to the dead. And why not? The traces of their stories are everywhere for those who can read them. I kept one of those nails, but at St. Mary's City we don't need to hoard artifacts to connect with the friendly ghosts who dwell here. Their stories are all around us, hidden in plain sight.

Bring Warm Clothes
- Overview
- More Info
- By: Peg Meier
- Format: Paper, 336 pp, 11x8, 286 b&w illustrations
- Publisher: MHS Press
- Usually ships in: 1 to 3 business days
A celebration of the everyday lives of Minnesotans through the centuries–those who paused here on their way to someplace else and those who made the state their home.
The earliest European visitors to Minnesota marvel at the area's flora and fauna. A soldier at Fort Snelling contemplates deserting. Swedish settler Andrew Peterson makes a daily record of his haying schedule, dropping in, without comment, a note of his marriage. Sarah Christie pleads with her father in the 1880s for a chance to go to college. Turn-of-the-century accountant Walter T. Post keeps his family informed of his saving and spending habits. In the 1920s, the Pioneer Press publishes recommendations for young ladies seeking a spouse.
These stories and more emerge from select diary and journal entries, from published accounts and business records–the experiences of ordinary Minnesotans. Matched with drawings and photographs that capture a way of life at a particular moment, these impressions offer a telling history of the state in the words of its people.
Peg Meier, a longtime and award-winning reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, is the author of Too Hot, Went to Lake: Seasonal Photos from Minnesota's Past, Coffee Made Her Insane, and The Last of the Tearoom Ladies.

Ashley Wood Iron Man prototype
Can't wait to see the final colourway versions of this design, as Ash Wood says himself on the first fruit of his hook up with Marvel:
"I thought I would share some prototype images of our IRON MAN with you guys ( We have some nifty colorways to show you soon ) I'm having a killer time designing Marvel Universe characters, getting to play with iconic characters is pretty amazing. I still remember reading IRON MAN 200 as a kid, dreaming of being a Marvel comic artist etc, never did I think I would have a toy company and the chance to make my own! I should mention that Marvel has been nothing but supportive and hands-off, I'll tell you that its a rare thing with such popular and well known characters! After Iron Man we have Doc Doom, Ultron and Spiderman and his Pal, actually many more, but I wanna keep some surprises!"
"He could do with some armour on his legs" was the comment from my kids on this one.
