Puberty at an early age increases the risk for disordered eating behaviours such as bingeing and purging (Jacobi et al., 2004; Kaltiala-Heino et al., 2001). What's more, the hormone estradiol moderates the risk of disordered eating behaviours. More precisely, in a group of twins with low estradiol levels, differences in disordered eating are likely due to environmental factors (such as family, school, friends), but in a group of twins with high estradiol levels, the differences in disordered eating are more likely due to genetic factors. (I blogged about it here.)
Essentially, estradiol partially moderates the extent to which genes affect disordered eating.
This is interesting because the estrogen system has a role in regulating body weight and food intake, influences eating behaviours during the menstrual cycle, and obviously plays an important role during puberty. Moreover, one study showed that estrogen receptor genes (proteins that bind estrogen) are associated with eating disorder symptomatology (Eastwood et al., 2002), though I don't know if that finding has been replicated.
All of this is even more interesting because genetic effects on …
Eating disorders typically begin in adolescence. One common explanation for this is that during adolescence females are increasingly exposed to the media, thin models, and dieting. While this is probably true to some extent, it doesn't explain why the rates of eating disorders are quite low despite the high levels of exposure to thin models in the media. Out of 100 girls, only a handful develop eating disorders, yet all of them are exposed to the same magazines and TV shows.
This means there must be some other factors that differ between this group of girls. One hypothesis is that hormonal changes during puberty may modulate the genetic risk factors for eating disorders. These changes may "turn on" genes that predispose individuals to eating disorders. Previous research has shown that genetic factors modulate disordered eating (eating disorders have a high heritability), but how? What are the mechanisms of this modulation?
Exploring this idea, Dr. Kelly Klump and colleagues sought to focus on the role of estradiol–the predominant estrogen during reproductive years in females. Estradiol (and other hormones, …
You might have heard that individuals born between the months of June – August (or sometimes March – August) have a higher chance of developing anorexia nervosa. But is it true? A lot of studies have been done to investigate the question of whether a season of birth (or a month) correlates with a higher risk of anorexia or bulimia nervosa. The results are inconsistent, weak, and fraught with methodological problems.
But first, how could seasons (or the average temperature during birth, or conception) have an effect on the etiology of eating disorders? What's the hypothesis?
There seem to be two main ideas (summarized in Winje et al., 2012):
I'm going to summarize some of the studies published on this topic, just to give you an idea of where the field …
If you've been reading this blog for a while (or literature on this topic) you know the answer is no. I've blogged about this before, but I think it is a topic that needs a lot more coverage because the myths that all anorexia nervosa patients are just afraid of being fat, that they lose weight just to be thin, and that thin models are to blame for AN are still very common.
As you'll see, I am not claiming that this isn't true for some patients. Instead, what I am claiming is that it is not true for all patients.
And a big personal goal of mine with this blog is to broad the conversation about eating disorders. Let's get away from stereotypes and painting all anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa patients in the same light. Let's instead have meaningful discussions about research on eating disorders, about our experiences, and let's develop a more comprehensive understanding of eating disorders that's enriched by the research and the science, and our personal experiences as patients, friends, family members, partners, …
What is the impact of Western culture on eating disorders? Do images of thin cause eating disorders? I mean, it seems like such a nice and simple hypothesis. It makes intuitive sense: glamorize thin and make thin cool and BAM, everyone wants to be thin. It would be so much easier. Cause? Found. Solution? Easy: ban thin models. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me, since it gives me a lot to blog about) the answer is not that simple.
Just in the last couple of hours, some people who've ended up on the SEDs blog have searched:
I'm sure most of these search terms lead people to the blog post titled, Does Too Much Exposure to Thin Models Cause Eating Disorders? Anorexia, Bulimia in Blind Women? Since variants on this theme are common search queries, I thought …
This post continues the discussion of the chapter on eating disorders by Carolina Lopez, Marion Roberts, and Janet Treasure from The Handbook of Neuropsychiatric Biomarkers, Endophenotypes and Genes (2009). Part 1 focused on neurotransmitter biomarkers, and this second part will focus on the neuropsychological biomarkers.
Attentional biases
Attentional bias is the tendency for individuals to attend to or be distracted by emotionally relevant stimuli over neutral stimuli. Attentional biases have been observed in several studies:
These biases can be minimal but annoying: waiting in line at the pharmacy, staring into space and finding your focus automatically pulled to the magazine headlines promising diet tips or drop a dress size in a week! even if those topics would not normally interest you. Or they might have …
There have been some interesting discussions on the F.E.A.S.T. Facebook group over the past month regarding the role of genetics, personality traits, environmental factors and their role (or lack thereof) in the development of eating disorders and their prognosis. A parent group may seem like an unlikely forum for several hundred-odd comment threads on etiology; however, what we (caregivers, patients or clinicians) believe to underlie these disorders naturally informs our attitudes, decisions and choices with regards to treatment and our relationship to the disorders themselves:
Is this something they will have to manage their entire life?
Does anyone ever fully recover?
I had bulimia as a young adult and now my son has an eating disorder, too – did I pass on "bad genes", bad habits, or is it a coincidence?
Is her rigidity and anxiety merely a side affect of starvation, or should we treat those as an underlying factor in her food refusal?
Is there any validity to the stereotyping of anorexics as uptight, overachieving perfectionists, and bulimics as impulsive, uninhibited hedonists?
There is at present …
Patients with anorexia nervosa often have difficulties recognizing and regulating emotions. This conclusion that is largely based on data from common tests such as Reading the Mind in the Eyes assessing emotion recognition, and questionnaires like Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) assessing emotion regulation (see my post here). Although that study compared currently ill patients with healthy controls (thus raising the possibility that the resulting data was due to the effects of starvation or due to the chronic nature of the ED in the sample, ~7.5 year on average), there is some evidence that some of these difficulties persist post-recovery.
Individuals with autism (ASD, or autism spectrum disorders) also have difficulties with emotion recognition and regulation, leading some investigators to hypothesize that AN and ASD may share common etiology. Providing further support for this hypothesis are studies suggesting that AN might be overrepresented in ASD and vice versa. (That is to say, the prevalence of AN in ASD patients or vice versa is higher than the population mean.)
This doesn't mean that all patients with …
A really fun aspect of blogging is seeing what search terms lead people to my blog; a frustrating side-effect is not being able to interact with those people directly. This entry is, in part, an attempt to answer a common question that leads individuals to my blog. Common question or search queries are variants of the following (these are actual search terms that led to this blog, I corrected spelling mistakes): "do models cause eating disorders in women?", "pictures of skinny models linked to eating disorders", "do the images of models in magazines cause eating disorders?", "eating disorders relating to thin models", "psychiatrists thought on how skinny models are causing eating disorders", "thin models are to blame for eating disorder."
Well, you get the point.
I briefly started tackling the notions that the "thin ideal" promoted by Western media is to blame for the prevalence of eating disorders and a related idea that all anorexics are afraid of becoming fat, in a previous post where I examined case studies of eating disorders in (mostly congenitally) blind women.
These assumptions, along with …
A not-so-recent, but interesting paper by Cynthia Bulik and colleagues outlines an interesting model for perinatal risk factors in the development of anorexia nervosa. The model "focuses on adverse perinatal events and prematurity as risk factors for AN and encompasses the potential role of passive gene-environment correlation in perpetuating AN risk."
Importantly, this model "provides intriguing data on a potential cycle of risk for at least a subset of individuals with AN." The word subset is important: this model, if true – and we don't know yet, undoubtedly applies only to a proportion of individuals that develop anorexia nervosa, so keep that in mind.
(In case you are wondering, because I was, perinatal period starts at 140 days of gestation and ends 28 days post birth, prenatal period is any time before birth.)
Trying to figure out the risk factors for anorexia, a rare disorder (<1% of the population), is challenging. One of the best ways to determine real risk factors (as opposed to early symptoms, such as dieting and overexercise) is to do longitudinal prospective studies: tracking lots of …

Net#work BBDO Creates Poignant Spot for Road Accident Fund in South Africa
Johannesburg-based Net#work BBDO put together the above spot for Road Accident Fund in South Africa.
The 60-second effort, "Night Shift," tells the sad tale (based on a true story) of a woman who lost both her parents in a car accident. "Sometimes I look back and think of what might have been," the woman says while boarding a bus. "When my parents died in a car accident, my whole world changed," she continues. Emotionally, she tells of how she thought she lost everything, including who she always dreamed she would become. Fortunately, that was not to be the case, as you'll learn if you'll watch it through.
"Night Shift" shows the kind of lives changed by the Road Accident Fund, from the perspective of a real beneficiary of the program. It's emotionally affecting, and a truly effective way for Net#work BBDO to communicate their message. Credits after the jump.

Definitions for killer whale
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word killer whale
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
kill′er whale′(n.)
a large, predatory, black-and-white dolphin
Orcinus orca.
Category: Mammals
Origin of killer whale:
Princeton's WordNet
killer whale, killer, orca, grampus, sea wolf, Orcinus orca(noun)
predatory black-and-white toothed whale with large dorsal fin; common in cold seas
killer whale(Noun)
A sea mammal related to dolphins and porpoises.
Killer whale
The killer whale, also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family. Killer whales are found in all oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Killer whales as a species have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as sea lions, seals, walruses, and even large whales. Killer whales are regarded as apex predators, lacking natural predators. Killer whales are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family groups which are the most stable of any animal species. Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, which are often specific to a particular group and passed across generations, have been described as manifestations of culture. The IUCN currently assesses the orca's conservation status as data deficient because of the likelihood that two or more killer whale types are separate species. Some local populations are considered threatened or endangered due to prey depletion, habitat loss, pollution, capture for marine mammal parks, and conflicts with fisheries. In late 2005, the "southern resident" population of killer whales that inhabits British Columbia and Washington state waters were placed on the U.S. Endangered Species list.

One of the most unstoppable post players in the history of basketball stood a mere 6'5″ on a good day… in an extra thick pair of high knee socks.
That truth seemed like a doubtful assertion back in the 1970s when Adrian Dantley was routinely told time and again that he was too short to keep playing in the post. Or that he was too heavy and chunky to be any good in college, let alone the pros. And, yet, Dantley proved the naysayers wrong his entire career.
During his final two seasons at Notre Dame, AD dropped a shade under 30 points a night to go along with 10 rebounds and 56% shooting from the field. As his professional career unfolded, it turned out that Dantley's rebounding would diminish but his scoring and, more remarkably, his FG% would not take a hit.
Despite winning Rookie of the Year in 1977, Dantley bounced from Buffalo to Indiana to the Lakers during his first three NBA seasons. Finally, he landed with the Utah Jazz for the 1979-80 season and fully unleashed his devastation upon the NBA.
From 1980 to 1986, Dantley averaged 29.6 points a night. His FG% remained at an absurdly high 56% the whole time. He rarely dunked and yet he maintained that percentage on a series of shots around the rim. He'd have remarkable control of his body no matter how much pounding or twirling he'd do in the paint. And heaven help you, if you wound up fouling Dantley. He'd still probably make the shot thanks to his stocky strength and with his 80+ percent shooting from the foul line you were just giving him free points.
As often happens, though, a player's most prodigious statistical seasons don't coincide with his most successful seasons from a team perspective. The Jazz only made the playoff three times during these seasons, but managed to win two playoff series.
However, a trade to Detroit for the 1986-87 season gave Dantley a chance to be on a true contender. His scoring average dipped to 20 points a night, but with the Pistons having Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, and Vinnie Johnson, no one man needed to take a massive offensive load.
In 1987, the Pistons came within a mere three points of making the NBA Finals, but fell to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals by a score of 117 to 114. The next season Detroit finally downed Boston by suffered a gut-wrenching Finals loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Leading 3-games-to-2, Detroit lost Game 6 by one point and then lost Game 7 by three points.
Unfortunately for Dantley he'd be traded midway through the 1989 season to Dallas in exchange for Mark Aguirre. The Pistons new high-scoring 1980s forward would finally capture two titles, while Dantley's career wound down on mediocre losing teams. Sadly, that's the way basketball goes sometimes.
One man's lucky break is another's bad misfortune. Still, Dantley's career was a marvel. What he did control, he controlled with an ability rarely seen. And he did it with fantastic style: gorgeous knee-high socks, awesome chops on his face, and a great corkscrew free throw shot.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Telvin Nash belted a two-run homer and Ruben Sosa and Tony Kemp combined for seven hits, three RBI's and three steals as Corpus Christi drilled Tulsa 7-2 Sunday at Whataburger Field before 4,759.
The Hooks, winners of five straight, improved to 9-8 in the Texas League second-half race, 43-44 overall. Tulsa fell to 7-10 and 45-41.
Brady Rodgers (4-9) won his third straight decision. The Richmond native twirled five shutout innings, scattering just two hits.
Despite a rocky sixth, Luis Cruz earned a four-inning save. He retired the last nine Drillers.
The Hooks attacked first with three unearned runs off Tyler Anderson (3-4). Carlos Perdomo reached on an error by third baseman Joey Wong and scored from first on Rene Garcia's double, plus an error charged to catcher Ryan Casteel. Casteel, upon contact with a sliding Perdomo, failed to maintain control of shortstop Trevor Story's relay. Consecutive triples by Sosa (deep center) and Kemp (right-field corner) gave the Hooks a 3-0 second-inning lead.
Sosa and Kemp teamed to make it 4-0 Hooks in the fourth. Sosa sparked a two-out uprising by singling to left and swiping second. Kemp followed with a single up the middle.
Anderson was finished after four frames, seven hits, a walk and strikeout.
Three straight one-out hits off Cruz pushed two Drillers home during the sixth. Taylor Featherston struck the payoff, a two-run double to deep center field.
Corpus Christi answered Tulsa and reliever RJ Siedel with zeal, Nash's 11th home run and his third in two games clanking off the cotton press just left of the scoreboard. The 437-foot blast came in the wake of Garcia's lead-off single. Sosa's second triple of the evening fronted a Delino DeShields sacrifice fly.
Hooks third baseman Jonathan Meyer saw his hitting streak end at nine games.
Ruben Alaniz (0-0) pitches for Corpus Christi Monday at 7:10 in the series and homestand finale vs. Richard Castillo (2-8). All fans enjoy $1 Hot Dogs and Soda, compliments of Mrs Baird's.

To top it off the colors are in full swing, apple picking is well underway and holidays are just around the corner with plenty of family celebrations to look forward to.
My eldest daughter was born 6 years ago tomorrow and my son (who just turned one) was born at the very end of the summer season, so fall is definitely a happy time here at Casa de Carriere.

It's Fall!
The leaves, the beige background and even the font used on this fall-themed baby shower invite add the perfect touch for those looking to celebrate the season during their baby shower.

Acorns are one of the 'symbols' of autumn which is why I just had to include these cute baby shower invites.

Gossip Girl Review: Daring to Dair!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
The spirit of Valentine's Day was in the air on Gossip Girl Monday night, but did "Crazy Cupid Love" tug at our collective heartstrings, or did it flatline amid high expectations?
There was plenty wrong with the episode, but at least Dan went there. He did it!
There's no longer any doubt about how Gossip Girl's underdog non-couple feels about one another. Dan's feelings may be stronger (or at least less complicated, with no dowry looming over Rufus) than the reverse, but they're mutual. He kissed Blair and unlike the first time, it wasn't just Dan doing the kissing.
On the contrary, she was all for it. That was awesome.
Whether you're rooting for a Chair series endgame or for unrequited Dair love, you have to concede that the show has short-changed both twosomes of late, and that something had to give one way or the other.
Blair probably should have run off with Chuck last week. Or the week before, during the now-infamous pre-wedding confession. But she didn't, and Dan subsequently remained in the romantic picture.
Tonight, he decided to make the most of that opportunity, and give the Hump credit for having giant cojones. Sadly, crazy Georgina was creeping nearby and engineered the ultimate c--k block on Dair.
I didn't think he'd actually do it, or that she wouldn't pull away. The long-awaited kiss was worth the wait for those who have watched Dan and Blair grow together and experience so many near misses.
The evolution of their relationship has been an enjoyable constant in recent months, culminating in Blair's recollection of all the reasons "Serena" should love him. That scene was as heartfelt as it gets.
How adorable slash hot was that kiss, too? Leighton Meester was typically wonderful in conveying the mixed emotions of feeling forbidden to do such a thing but at the same time wanting it SO badly.
While this chapter was cut short, the love story remains an open book.
Make no mistake, Dair is no longer just a momentary obstacle or a blip on the radar. Blair and Chuck may indeed end up together in a year or so, but after this? Dair is the real deal, and all bets are off.
The fallout should be interesting, with Georgina holding the infamous photo as blackmail, Serena bitter at her BFF for moving in on Dan, and Chuck apparently for revenge against Dan for moving in on Blair.
The juiciest part of all of this is that the Dair kiss has dealt a serious blown to Chair and Derena ... and Blerena and Duck. No one will be able to wrap their minds around (or get over) this one anytime soon.
At least I think that's Chuck's motive. His random hookup with Alessandra was preceded by an unintentionally hilarious request for info on Dan's book. What could she possibly reveal that would hurt Dan?
Therein lies the problem with Gossip Girl these days. Dair did all they could to salvage this installment, but they can't stop the majority of the plots from feeling disjointed and patched together haphazardly.
Take Blair's return to N.Y. for example. Needing a way to push Louis out of the picture for one week, but still have him looming over Blair, they give a "minder" ... who's conveniently absent at exactly the wrong time.
Then there's Georgina's desire to break a mega-scandal because she's ... bored? Until Dan outs her, because she has the loudest cellphone ring ever, so she can't? But she magically gets her hands on Blair's prenup?
Or Nate's desire to woo Lola at a party Gossip Girl told him he's throwing, which can't happen because she won't cater Spectator events, but shows up at when Chuck moves the shindig to his place spontaneously?
It doesn't make a lot of sense. Even if you're entertained by it all (and for the most part I am), you can't escape the fact that the show tries to strong together seriously convoluted plots with 2-3 lines of dialogue.
What else did we learn Monday? Where do we even begin. Some of the major developments:
- Ivy's been staying in the Hamptons with Cece, who is totally the frontrunner in this spring's Gossip Girl death pool if she wasn't already. Ivy ran into Lola, who she'd bet before in Florida. Obviously.
- Lola's a cutie who's playing hard to get, which only causes Nate to want her more. Love it. Also love that she's apparently clueless about everything that's gone on. Time for some recon/payback!
- B's minder has a thing for Louis or is a serial murderer intent on offing her. Or a bit of both.
- Fair, young Dorota was once wooed in a Polish beet field. Too bad that story was cut short.
- Serena pines for Dan and broods a lot. Not too much else going on in the land of S of late.
- Georgina employs various minions, including Nate's random Vanessa look-alike assistant.
- Phillip and Milo? Say a prayer for those guys.
All in all, this week was very much up and down for me. The Georgina/G.G. and dowry angles are all over the place and on the verge of being mishandled to the point where it's hard to take them seriously.
That said, Dair continues to carry the show, just as Chair was once the reason to tune in. Which of the two couples has a brighter future romantically? Will Serena sabotage Blair before Chuck undermines Dan?
Can't wait to find out.
Before we turn it over to your comments, here's next week's promo for "Cross Rhodes." Blair looks like she wants it bad. Again. Consider this a 20-second glimpse of the next round of fan wars about to erupt ...
What did you think of this evening's Gossip Girl episode? Discuss below!
Are Dan and Blair soulmates?

Weird that Lilly has NOT contacted Cece when she was looking for Charly, right? And weird that Rufus knew that Lilly was at the Empire and Chivy wainting for her at the apartment and he did not tell either of them. The writers make so many mistakes it is unbelievable.
Anyway I hate Dair. I still do not get how people can love this and how Dan could fall for Blair. But I guess everyone had to hook up with everyone at least once in this show, right? I see Cherena coming haha :D
Apart from the bad storyline and the many many mistakes I really LOVED Blair's dress ;)
(Contd.) I once more enjoyed the thrill that Chair was.I enjoyed how dynamic Ed Westwick and therefore Chuck is.I shook my head, as we all have done, at the crazy plot lines and convoluted story arcs! It took this review to see the present state of the characters in a better perspective. And as far as that goes I think the writers have done sort of an okay job!I do see progression in our leads.IMO,the biggest mistake with the writers was that suddenly the whole focus shifted from Serena to Blair & while I always liked Blair (Meester) more, this shift meant that they just could not handle giving equal prominence to each character & plot and soon GG became all about the famous triangle! Coming back to character progression, from every point it is so clear that Chair just cannot be end game.This Dair, this crazy relationship,born out of indifference,then enmity, then friendship and then love - this is the one constant through all the episodes and all roads MUST lead to Dair.
Can't help coming back to the discussions page! And will keep coming here every week! So I was watching reruns of GG's first seasons (again!) and then selected episodes of the recent ones and they further increased my convictions that Dair and only Dair can and should be end game. Dair may not be the expected choice, Dair may not be the popular choice, Dair may be the underdog - but hey you know what, sometimes - the unexpected HAPPENS, the popular choice is not always the RIGHT one and, every once in a while, it is the underdog who triumphs! (Contd.)
@Coriander Yeah, I forgot about him, he's just there to sleep with the next female guest star.
@Anonymous In your list of characters that fall in love with every representative of the opposite sex, you forgot to mention Nate who has been doing that through the whole series.
@Ace I hope the Chair fans or any other fans for that matter to leave, I'd like to see Gossip Girl dip under 1 million. Charmed actually does better than Gossip Girl, which only gets about a 0.2 in repeats, which isn't really good by any standards. What the CW needs to do is to broaden their audience, they probably need to clean up most of their shows, they need to change things up. Being the 'Gossip Girl' network has not helped them out a bit, they've only gotten worse and worse.
@Anonymous That's the only reason why season 5 will not end with a series finale. They'll use syndication, whether or not its successful, to justify the next and last season. And even though repeat demos show low numbers, that's repeat demos on the same network. Syndicated shows will have an adjusted formula given it'll be on an entirely different time slot and a newer audience based on what other network picks it up. Similiar to ABC/Lifetime when it syndicates Grey's, or TBBT to CBS/TBS/FOX. Even with canceled shows, TNT still profits from syndicated shows like Charmed and Angel.
@Anonymous I completely agree with how mismanaged the CW was. I mean as soon as the WB stopped being what it was, it was a slow decline that has increased in its decline more rapidly as years have progressed. I was just evoking that if the CHAIR ships perform a mass exodus of the show, GG will still survive up to season 6, where it's likely that it'll be the last season anyway. Having seasons beyond 6 is doubtful.

Good job GGwriters! Dair is awesome!

Interior of the Secundra Bagh
A few months later (around March or April 1858), photographer Felice Beato arrived in Lucknow and took a photograph of the interior of the Secundra Bagh Palace. Bones of the dead can be seen in the foreground of the photo, lying exposed on the ground.
There is controversy about whether corpses actually were still lying unburied when Beato was in Lucknow. A reporter for The Times reported seeing unburied skeletons as late as April 1858. But a British officer, Sir George Campbell, wrote in his memoirs that Beato arranged for bones to be disinterred and scattered around in order to recreate the aftermath of the battle.

1. Outdoor Moroccan Rug
Now that I live in Los Angeles and spend some legitimate time outdoors, I'm kind of obsessed with making our patio feel as much like a living room as possible. Know what it needs? One of these chic Moroccan-themed outdoor rugs.
2. Fredericks & Mae Tassels
Every day, I think about pulling the trigger on one of these tassels. I want to just hang one on a nail in the baby's room. The only thing holding me back? I can't figure out which colorway is coolest!
3. Hatch Collection Twill Button-Down
Pregnancy can feel very undignified, but the really beautifully-cut pieces at Hatch make it feel slightly less so. Also, the shapes are cool enough that you can theoretically wear them through the fourth trimester—and beyond. My pick? This twill button-down, thanks to its cropped sleeves.
4. Julie Rofman Bracelet
Did you ever have one of those mini-looms on which to make beaded jewelry? I did, though I can assure you that nothing I made came even remotely close to looking like a Julie Rofman bracelet.
5. Beatrice Valenzuela Botins
Want to meet the boots you're probably going to wear every single day? Handmade from super-soft leather, Beatrice Valenzuela's shoes are the bomb. Her Chinos and Argollas are pretty rad, too.

DJ Khaled Announces New Album 'Suffering From Success'
Success is taking its toll on DJ Khaled. After proclaiming We the Best Forever and making his haters Kiss the Ring, the Cash Money DJ has come up with a bold title for his seventh album, Suffering From Success.
In a video trailer, he reflects on his achievements by showing off his plaques, awards, and magazine covers. He later sits down with MTV's Sway Calloway and reveals how a trip to the doctor inspired the new title.
After becoming concerned about a bald spot that was developing on his beard, he finally paid a visit to the doctor. During the 45-minute session, he was told that he was "suffering from success."
"I looked at [the doctor] and I was like, 'That might have been the realest thing you could tell me and it opened my mind up to say, 'Success comes with stress and happiness,'" he said.
When he left the doctor's office, it dawned on him to name the album Suffering From Success. The star-studded set is due later this year.
Khaled's latest album Kiss the Ring debuted at No. 4 in August and spawned the hit singles "Take It to the Head" and "I Wish You Would" featuring Kanye West and Rick Ross.

Newton, Massachusetts is a western suburb of Boston, the state's capital. It is actually made up of 13 separate villages with several lively, downtown-like areas and many Newton B&Bs and Newton inns for overnight accommodations. It is home to Boston College, Boston College Law School, Hebrew College, and Andover Newton Theological School. The Fig Newton cookie was named for this city more than a hundred years ago. Annual events include the New Years Open House at City Hall, the Independence Day Parade on the Fourth of July and the Holiday Lighting Ceremony at the City Hall War Memorial in early December. The Newton Symphony Orchestra performs here regularly. Local attractions include Crystal Lake, a 33-acre natural lake with a beach and a bath house; The Jackson Homestead, once a stop on the Underground Railroad and currently a museum; Heartbreak Hill, a particularly difficult portion of the annual Boston Marathon; Norumbega Park, with its lush greenery and its access to the Charles River; and Chestnut Hill Reservoir, a popular park with a wonderful view of the Boston skyline. The towns proximity to Boston opens virtually limitless possibilities for other enjoyable things to do as well as many Newton bed and breakfasts from which to choose. Amarin Of Thailand, on Centre Street, is a restaurant that scores high with the locals when they are seeking delicious Thai food. The Cherry Tree, on Washington Street, is a highly recommended pub that whips up great meat-and-potatoes meal. Less

The Iceman Cometh is a play written by American playwright Eugene O'Neill[1] in 1939. First published in 1946,[1] the play premiered on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on October 9, 1946, directed by Eddie Dowling, where it ran for 136 performances before closing on March 15, 1947.
The Iceman Cometh is set in Harry Hope's decidedly downmarket Greenwich Village saloon and rooming house, in 1912. The patrons, who are all men except for three female prostitutes, are all dead-end alcoholics who spend every possible moment seeking oblivion in each other's company and trying to con or wheedle free drinks from Harry and the bartenders. They drift without purpose from day to day, coming fully to life only during the semi-annual visits of the salesman Theodore Hickman, known to them as Hickey. When Hickey finishes a tour of his business territory, which is apparently a wide expanse of the East Coast, he typically turns up at the saloon and starts the party. As the play opens, the regulars are expecting Hickey to turn up in time for Harry's birthday party. The first act introduces the various characters and shows them bickering amongst themselves, showing just how drunk and delusional they are, all the while awaiting Hickey's arrival.
Joe Mott insists that he will soon re-open his casino. Cecil "The Captain" Lewis and Piet "The General" Wetjoen, who fought each other during the Boer War, are now good friends, and both insist that they'll soon go back to their nations of origin. Harry Hope has not left the bar since his wife Bess's death 20 years ago. He promises that he'll take a walk around the block on his birthday, the next day. Pat McGloin says he is hoping to be reinstated into the police force, but is waiting for the right moment.
Ed Mosher prides himself on his ability to give incorrect change, but he kept too much of his illegitimate profits to himself and was fired; he says he will get his job back someday. Hugo Kalmar is drunk and passed out for a majority of the play; when he is conscious, he pesters the other patrons to buy him a drink. Chuck Morello says that he will marry Cora tomorrow. Don Parritt is a former anarchist who shows up later in the play to talk to Larry about his mother (Larry's ex-girlfriend) and her apprehension due to her involvement in the anarchist "Movement".
Finally Hickey arrives and his behavior throws the other characters into turmoil. He insists, with as much charisma as ever, but now with the zeal of a recent convert, that he sees life clearly now as never before because he is sober. Hickey wants the characters to cast away their delusions and embrace the hopelessness of their fates. He takes on this task with a near-maniacal fervor. How he goes about his mission, how the other characters respond, and their efforts to find out what has wrought this change in Hickey take over four hours to resolve.
During and after Harry's birthday party most seem to have been somewhat affected by Hickey's ramblings. Larry pretends to be unaffected but, when Don reveals he was the informant responsible for the arrest of his own mother (Larry's former girlfriend), Larry rages at him; Willie decides McGloin's appeal will be his first case and Rocky admits he is a pimp.
Eventually, they all return and are jolted by a sudden revelation. Hickey, who had earlier told the other characters first that his wife had died and then that she was murdered, admits that he is the one who actually killed her. The police arrive, apparently called by Hickey himself, and Hickey justifies the murder in a dramatic monologue, saying that he did it out of love for her.
Hickey's father was a preacher in the backwoods of Indiana. Evidently he was both charismatic and persuasive, and it was inheriting these traits which led Hickey to become a salesman. An angry kid trapped in a small town, Hickey had no use for anyone but his sweetheart, Evelyn. Evelyn's family forbade her to associate with Hickey, but she ignored them. After Hickey left to become a salesman, he promised he would marry Evelyn as soon as he was able. He became a successful salesman, then sent for her and the two were very happy until Hickey got tired of his wife always forgiving him for his whore-mongering and began to feel guilty. He next recounts how he murdered her, supposedly to free her from the pain of his constant philandering. But in retelling the murder itself he catches himself laughing and telling Evelyn, "well, you know what you can do with that pipe dream now, don't you?" In realizing he said this, Hickey breaks down completely. He realizes that he went truly insane and that people need their empty dreams to keep them going. The others agree and decide to testify for insanity during Hickey's trial despite Hickey begging them to let him get the death sentence.
The others all go back to their empty promises and pipe dreams except for Don and Larry. Don runs up to his room with the intention of jumping off the fire escape. Larry grimaces and listens at the window with his eyes closed. Don jumps and Larry's eyes are opened to the reality of his situation ("Be God, there's no hope! I'll never be a success...Life is too much for me!") and he is left wishing at last for his own death.
The play contains many allusions to political topics, particularly anarchism and socialism.
Hugo, Larry and Don are former members of an anarchist movement. Larry, now a bitter man who claims to be waiting for death, is approached by his ex-girlfriend's son, Don, at the beginning of the play, and Don remains at the bar. Don admits that he informed the police of the illegal activities of his mother and other anarchists. He gives several reasons for this, but later admits that they are not the real ones. He first claims that he did it out of patriotism and then that he wanted the money, but finally admits he did it because he hated his mother, who was so obsessed with her own freedom that she became too self-centered and often either ignored or dominated him. The conversations between Don and Larry are among the most emotional in the play. Some of these conversations also often involve Hickey, whose actions somewhat parallel Don's.
Two other characters are veterans of the Second Boer War. One is British and one is Dutch. They alternately defend and insult each other, and there are many allusions to events in South Africa. Both wish to return to their home countries, but their families do not want them there.
Joe is the only African-American character, and makes several speeches about racial differences.
The Iceman Cometh is often compared to Maxim Gorky's The Lower Depths, by which it has been suggested to have been inspired.[2][3]
When O'Neill was alive, he delayed its performance on Broadway for seven years, fearing American audiences would reject it.[citation needed] O'Neill was at the height of his fame when he relented in 1946, and the production was a commercial success, though it received mixed reviews.[citation needed]
James Barton, in his performance as Hickey, was reportedly not up to the massive emotional and physical demands of such a titanic part, and sometimes forgot his lines or wore out his voice.[citation needed]
The young Marlon Brando was offered the part of Don Parritt in the original Broadway production, but famously turned it down.[citation needed] Brando later claimed to have read only a few pages of the script the producers gave him, and to have started an argument at the audition about the worth of the play and O'Neill's writing style.[citation needed] The audition ended with Brando rejecting the part.[citation needed]
The original production was staged at the Martin Beck Theatre and opened on October 9, 1946 and closed on March 15, 1947, after 136 performances. It was directed by Eddie Dowling with production and lighting design by Robert Edmond Jones. The cast starred James Barton (Theodore "Hickey" Hickman), Jeanne Cagney (Margie), Leo Chalzel (Hugo Kalmar), Russell Collins (James "Jimmy Tomorrow" Cameron), Paul Crabtree (Don Parritt), Dudley Digges (Harry Hope), Ruth Gilbert (Pearl), Charles Hart (Lieb), Nicholas Joy (Cecil "The Captain" Lewis), Marcella Markham (Cora), Joe Marr (Chuck Morello), John Marriott (Joe Mott), E.G. Marshall (Willie Oban), Al McGranary (Pat McGloin), Tom Pedi (Rocky Pioggi), Carl Benton Reid (Larry Slade), Morton L. Stevens (Ed Mosher), Frank Tweddell (Piet "The General" Wetjoen), and Michael Wyler (Moran).
The play was mounted again Off-Broadway in 1956, after O'Neill's death. This production, starring Jason Robards as Hickey and directed by José Quintero, was massively acclaimed, and the play was accepted as a true masterpiece. Robards won multiple awards for his performance, and went on to distinguish himself throughout his life as the leading interpreter of O'Neill's great male roles. He was most widely known for his film roles but repeatedly devoted his most serious energies to theatrical roles, and especially to O'Neill.
Robards' energetic performance was repeated for a 1960 television production of Play of the Week for CBS, directed by Sidney Lumet.
Director John Frankenheimer cast a more malevolent, coarse Lee Marvin in his 1973 film version that had a 239-minute running time. One actor appeared in both versions: Tom Pedi, as Rocky the bartender. Some reviews at the time were unfavorable to Marvin, as he was generally associated with tough guy roles. The 1973 film was also notable for being Fredric March's last screen role.
The show ran on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre from December 13, 1973 to February 16, 1974 with James Earl Jones as Hickey.
The show was revived on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, starring Jason Robards again as Hickey and directed again by José Quintero. This production ran from September 29, 1985 to December 1, 1985.
The show was revived again on Broadway, this time at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre starring Kevin Spacey and ran from April 8, 1999 to July 17, 1999.[1]
The 2012 revival at Chicago's Goodman Theatre starred Nathan Lane in the lead role of Hickey. Brian Dennehy was cast as Larry Slade, and the production was directed by Robert Falls. It started its run at the Goodman Theatre in April 2012, slated for a six-week stand.[4]This production will be revived at BAM for five weeks in 2015.
Robards starred in a 1960 'live' television version of the play, and returned to it in a 1985 Broadway production again directed by Quintero and featuring a cast that included Barnard Hughes as Harry Hope and Donald Moffat as Larry Slade.
Other noteworthy actors to play the role of Hickey include Lee Marvin, in a 1973 film adaptation directed by John Frankenheimer; James Earl Jones, in a 1973 revival at the Circle in the Square Theatre that was edited for length and criticized for the weakness of its supporting cast; and Kevin Spacey, who was lauded for his 1998–1999 stage rendition of the part in London's West End and then on Broadway.[1] The play is now widely considered to have the dimensions of a true tragedy, whereas many of O'Neill's earlier works would be more accurately characterized as melodrama.
The 1973 film version featured many notable actors besides Lee Marvin, including Fredric March as Harry, Robert Ryan as Larry, Jeff Bridges as Don, George Voskovec as General Wetjoen and Moses Gunn as Joe.

Press Release
Prescribed Burn Planned for Gulf State Park March 2010
February 26, 2010
A prescribed burn on 24 acres within Gulf State Park is planned for March 2010, weather permitting. The Alabama State Parks Division, in conjunction with the Alabama Forestry Commission and the cities of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores will conduct this burn as part of a Pitcher Plant Bog/Longleaf Pine Management Plan. The burn will take place on two separate small tracts of land located east of the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail.
Every effort will be made to ensure proper smoke management and safety of surrounding areas during this period. As evidenced in past burns, the cities of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores Fire Departments will assist as needed.
The Pitcher Plant Bog/Longleaf Pine Management Plan is an ongoing restoration project, burning alternate zones on a three year basis. Longleaf Pine habitat is crucial for the sustainability of various species including: bobwhite quail, whitetail deer, eastern turkey, eastern indigo snake, gopher tortoise and the Bachman's sparrow.
Recently Gov. Bob Riley designated February 2010 as Prescribed Fire Awareness Month. The official proclamation encourages all Alabamians to learn about the importance of prescribed burning to the stewardship of our natural resources and its role in the protection of our citizens from wildfires.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

Caulk's debut EP Learn to Take wasn't metal, not really, though the novice could mistake it for such; it was actually pure noise heaped upon impure noise, and if there was an actual song to be found anywhere on the disc, you'd be hard pressed to find it, despite the titles on the outside. Learn to Take was brutal, abrasive, unadulterated, unforgiving, uneasy, a mess--hard to take, that is.
Which is why Love American Style comes as a complete surprise, though not an unexpected one from a musician and businessman as savvy as frontman Aden Holt: Here's a band that actually matured from one album to the next, one that has learned to control its temper and find the power in the caress and not just the vicious beating. Part of the so-called Fraternity of Noise that would also include Brutal Juice and Baboon, Caulk's the one band that knows something of subtlety, appreciates the space between the monotonous chug-chug-chugging riffs and boombastic drumming, understands that a point is sometimes better made spoken instead of always shouted.
Caulk's one of those bands that remind you punk was/is nothing but sped-up metal to begin with, so distinguishing between the two's not of such great importance. Caulk is metal solely by strict definition: thick guitar riffs booming and building toward climactic ends, speed guitar slowing down to an exhausted crawl without any advance warning, moans and groans and screams punctuating the words, lyrics heavily skewed toward the sick ("Baby girl on the dash/Arms ripped off/Legs bent back/Is she hurt or is that just you?") and the sexual ("Winona," in which Holt rhymes "Ryder" with "ride her"). And murder: "Little Man," though abstract in its telling, could likely be about Susan Smith's murdering her two sons by drowning them in an automotive coffin at the bottom of a lake.
Maybe it's supposed to be over-the-top funny (which is Brutal Juice's cop-out, and a lyric like "lettuce is much too pussy for them" will make you chuckle involuntarily at least once or twice), maybe it's supposed to be the geek's revenge ("I'll be the best/She'll be a fat girl"), but since nobody pays much attention to the lyrics anyway, even with the unnecessarily included lyric sheet, this music has to get by on the sound, which it does and then some. When Caulk isn't riffing it's tripping, bludgeoning post-boogie-punk giving way to Marcus Bloom's near-improvised psychedelic guitar parts that fly off into the ether never to be seen or heard from again. The result is powerful, dramatic, huge over time: Almost every song builds to a dozen tiny climaxes until it finally gives up, exhausted, spent, over.
--Robert Wilonsky
Caulk performs October 20 at the Engine Room (Fort Worth), October 21 at Club Argo (Denton), and October 26 at Trees.

Microsoft axes Xbox HD-DVD drive. As if you didn't see that one coming
Monday, February 25, 2008 - 4:04am
With everyone picking their moment to jump from the HD-DVD ship following Toshiba's decision to discontinue the format. It was only a matter of time before giant Microsoft would have to bite the bullet and axe the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive. The news finally came in a written statement Saturday, presumably timed to make as few waves as possible. Microsoft sold an estimated 300,000 drives, but they were normally not included in the format's sales figures which counted only stand alone players.

Vince Wheeler: Escapes show jail upgrades needed
Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes ruffled some feathers the other week with comments after two inmates escaped from the Guilford County Jail in High Point.
On March 16, Jose Alberto Hernandez and Jose Idel Sid, being held on dozens of child sex crimes charges, escaped from their fourth-floor cell. As of Monday, the pair was still on the loose and the search for them continued, according to the Sheriff's Office. But my guess is those two guys are long gone from here, probably somewhere far to the south by now.
Talking with the media after the incident, Barnes told of human errors that aided in the escapes but he also explained that the men had used pieces of metal taken from a ceiling vent in their cell and removed a 15-inch by 13-inch Plexiglass window. They then used bed sheets to descend 30 feet to a ledge and then jumped 14 feet to the ground.
But it was Barnes' comments about the original jail construction that upset some local folks. "This jail was not built by jail builders. The materials were not up to grade," he told media representatives during a press conference. "If it was up to jail standards, (the window) would have had a bar over it."
It's not "Stop the presses!" news that Barnes has said or done something that ruffled a few feathers. That comes with the job. But while I certainly understand concerns about his remarks expressed in a Your View letter on this page April 7, I do think maybe what the sheriff meant hasn't been fully understood.
Family members of a local architect who was deeply involved with the jail and courthouse construction project in the late 1980s felt that Barnes' comments reflected negatively on the work of the architect, who has since died. However, I don't believe what Barnes said was meant to impugn the architect's reputation. Instead, I think he was making a statement about the incarceration concept under which the High Point jail was built nearly 25 years ago.
As I recall from covering for the Enterprise much of the building project, the philosophy that guided jail construction was that it would be a state-of-the-art facility and more "inmate friendly" — we might say today. Inmates would have more freedom under the open-air incarceration concept in vogue at the time. The new concept also was supposed to save money because fewer jailers could supervise more inmates.
But all this was based on the new jail not housing "harden criminals" and people charged with heinous crimes such as multiple child sex violations — as were the two recent escapees.
So it stands to reason — to me, at least — that Barnes' comments about jail construction standards back then are not far from the truth. The jail simply wasn't built to hold inmates who are greater risks for escape. That's why a couple of years ago we saw benefits in the idea of temporarily closing the jail to save the county operating expenses because that plan also included upgrading and renovating the jail during the year or two that it might be closed.
Although county officials eventually decided not to close the High Point jail temporarily, I'd contend it still needs the upgrading and renovating that Barnes and others thought it needed a couple of years ago. And I'd submit the March 16 escapes as evidence.

One of the things one learns (or should learn) in an economics graduate program is that while we hold to certain laws of economics, we do not view the world through a template, and especially one structured from political talking points. For example, as an economist, I can say that if one raises the minimum wage during a recession, one of the results will be increased unemployment among lower-skilled workers, and especially teenagers.
That conclusion comes from the laws of supply and demand, and it is sound and can be drawn without going into an ideological frenzy. However, it would be quite another thing if I were to say, "Democrats raised the minimum wage during a recession. Therefore, they want teenagers to be unemployed." Such a statement would be a non sequitur, and is outside of my role as an economist.
In fact, every mentor I have had has told me to be careful when venturing into the world of politics, and certainly not to embrace political talking points. Most, but not all, voted for Republicans, but none was active in any Republican activities and certainly never used the classroom or personal conversation to shill for political candidates. Furthermore, none ever presented a Republican candidate as the Hope of the World. There were and are lines that my mentors did not cross.
Unfortunately, I suppose that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology goes by a different set of rules, as its most famous economics doctoral student has used his position to be a partisan shill and to fudge on the truth. At present, I am researching for a paper on the passage of the financial deregulation initiatives of the early 1980s and I can tell you outright that Paul Krugman is rewriting history, declaring things to be true that never happened.
Thus, I wade into his latest food fight, his "Republicans want to cut Medicare" screed that passes as a column in today's New York Times. It is hard to know where to begin here, but I will try to wade through this morass that clearly does not befit someone whose academic honors put him near the top of our profession.
Krugman accuses Republicans of saying that while they want to save Medicare, they really want to cut its benefits. As "proof," he goes back to the 1995 government shutdown that he claims is due to then-Speaker Newt Gingrich's attempt to "ram through deep cuts in Medicare." Now, I don't know what really happened then, and as I have said before, Krugman has this tendency to rewrite history to his liking.
When Republicans are claiming that Democrats want to "cut Medicare" and that they are the saviors of this open-ended program, I find myself in agreement with Krugman that they are not to be trusted. However, the larger problem is that Medicare itself is not a sustainable program no matter how one slices things. Any competent economist can see this problem up front, but Krugman, while being a "star" in economics, nonetheless looks at government programs through the glasses of a partisan Democrat, which clouds and distorts his vision.
If you like this site, please help keep it going and growing.
Take the following, for example:
No, what's truly mind-boggling is this: Even as Republicans denounce modest proposals to rein in Medicare's rising costs, they are, themselves, seeking to dismantle the whole program. And the process of dismantling would begin with spending cuts of about $650 billion over the next decade. Math is hard, but I do believe that's more than the roughly $400 billion (not $500 billion) in Medicare savings projected for the Democratic health bills.
Let's take this one apart. If the Republicans wanted to dismantle Medicare, they would have done it when they had control of all three branches of government. For that matter, I remember Democrats claiming in 1980 that if Ronald Reagan were elected, he was going to do away with Social Security. None of those things happened, yet Krugman continues to spout the party line as though it makes sense.
Now, is that because Republicans are compassionate, caring folks? No, it is because they want to be elected and re-elected, and few people in our current welfare state can win elections by promising less. It doesn't happen. Republicans, like Democrats, are political animals and know that if they ever engaged in the behavior that matched some of their "let's be responsible" rhetoric…well, that is not going to happen.
I find Krugman's other point even more interesting. Suddenly, he calculates lower costs of (Ah! His brilliant economist mind at work!) $400 billion, but that amount constitutes "savings"! No. They are real-live payment cuts to people working in the medical system. Here is my question: How is it that Democrats propose "savings" but if Republicans do the same, they are proposing "cuts"?
Keep in mind that Krugman's "savings" do not come from actual "savings" but rather from the implementation of price controls. That's right, we have an economist claiming that price controls do not raise the opportunity cost for anyone, and that price controls actually result in real lower costs. This is nonsense.
We have seen real prices fall over time because people find ways to produce more goods using fewer resources. That is how an economy grows, period, but Krugman is not talking about such things. Instead, as I have pointed out, he is endorsing outright price controls (to be enforced, by the way, with criminal penalties).
Krugman has a history of claiming price controls actually do as advertised. During the California electricity blackouts of a decade ago (caused by the state government implementing price controls in the retail sale of electricity), Krugman claimed that the implementation of price controls across the entire western grid would result in lower prices and more supply. Such things don't happen, people. Price controls, as anyone learns in Economics 101, reduce available supply and thus, exacerbate shortages.
Not to be outdone, Krugman also endorsed increasing the minimum wage during a recession, claiming that it would increase overall spending. (Guess he cannot tell the difference between total utility and marginal utility. Take note, Princeton students.)
Any economist worth his salt, Austrian or mainstream, knows there are immutable laws of economics. The Law of Scarcity, the Law of Demand, the Law of Supply, and the Law of Diminishing Returns all are in an economist's lexicon and for good reason. They are as immutable to human action as the Law of Gravity is immutable to our very existence.
Yet, we have a "decorated" economist claiming that his political party can transcend the laws of economics by fiat. This is not economics, folks. This is Harry Potter Science.

The Republican primary for the 43rd Senate District is too close to call. The incumbent, Roy McDonald, and Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione are within 200 votes of each other. But both will definitely be on the ballot on minor party lines. Matt Hunter has the story.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – "Stay tuned, we're in extra innings."
Senator Roy McDonald begged his supporters to be patient as they headed for home late Thursday night.
Hours after the polls closed, the outcome in the Republican primary in the 43rd Senate District was far too close to call as challenger Kathy Marchione held a narrow lead over the incumbent, McDonald.
"One thing is certain, we have the political bosses and special interests very nervous this evening," Marchione told her supporters from her headquarters in Mechanicville.
"It would be nice to win it all by a big margin but it's not going to be," McDonald said. "It shows that people paid attention and that they're going to be a participating part of our process."
Despite Marchione's overall lead, McDonald did hold a slim lead in Saratoga County, where both candidates call home. Marchione has been the county clerk since 1997.
All along she made McDonald's controversial vote for June's Marriage Equality Act a key issue in this campaign. The senator previously voted against legalizing same sex marriage in 2009.
"There's no way I would've changed my mind on that issue," Marchione said Thursday night. "What he did, he changed quickly, he changed slowly, he changed his mind."
McDonald has long said he wouldn't regret his vote, even if it cost him his re-election bid, but he wasn't ready to concede whether that was why Thursday's vote margin was so razor thin.
With numerous precincts yet to report and 1,137 absentee ballots to count, it could be days before a winner is named.
While both will be on the November ballot no matter what, each is holding out hope their name will appear on the Republican line.
"I wouldn't know, I don't have a crystal ball," Marchione said. "There's a lot of absentees out there so we'll just have to see how it goes."
"Believe it or not this is only part of the way, November 6th is still the main objective," McDonald said.
McDonald has secured his spot on the ballot with an official endorsement from the Independence Party while Marchione won a second primary Thursday and will appear on the Conservative Party line.
The 43rd Senate District includes parts of Saratoga, Washington, Columbia and Rensselaer counties.
