Iselin Steiro, Kinga Rajzak Give Fall 2008 Missoni Their Prints
>> Iselin Steiro may have put her modeling career on hold for a degree in architecture, but that doesn't mean she can't still nab a top campaign or two. In fact, she's appearing in both the Mulberry and Missoni Fall campaigns.
For Missoni, Iselin joins goth girl Kinga Rajzak and Mathias Lauridsen in a set of images inspired by the Bernardo Bertolucci film, The Conformist, because the movie's visual patterns and textures fits well with the Missoni aesthetic.
The use of prints and color scheme in these ads are very in tune with Missoni's brand, but I'm not sure the sterile, stationary feel of the models is; Missoni always seems much more lively and dynamic than frigid to me.

No job is safe as Lions rebuild
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Coach Jim Schwartz came to Detroit knowing he had to make changes. The Lions haven't had a winning season since 2000 and are coming off a 0-16 season.
But how do you change the culture of losing? Three other coaches tried change and failed.
Enter Schwartz, whose coaching and scouting eyes were trained by Bill Belichick and Jeff Fisher. With the Lions, Schwartz has worked on subtle changes. He altered a few things around the locker room. He moved some of the returning players' lockers. He changed weight-lifting equipment. He brought in a smashmouth style of football. More than anything else, he worked with general manager Martin Mayhew to change the roster.
Change will be constant this year with the Lions. Any available veteran on the street might find a home in Detroit. Players know it. The Lions are expected to head into 2009 with 20-30 new players. Why not? When you go 0-16, jobs aren't guaranteed.
1. Stafford stating his case: Schwartz has a decision to make about the starting quarterback, and Matthew Stafford wants to make that decision difficult. Guess what? He's succeeding. When you watch the strong-armed rookie from Georgia, you can see he has the look of a potential Week 1 starter. His arm is among the strongest in the NFL. He looks comfortable behind center, barking out signals and moving skill players in the right position. Unlike Joey Harrington, who never really won over the players, Stafford is showing the leadership needed at quarterback.
Logic says the job will go to veteran Daunte Culpepper. Schwartz is keeping an open mind as he waits to see how Stafford does in the preseason. It would make more sense to start Culpepper. The Lions have a 17-game losing streak. Starting Stafford with the Lions' tough opening schedule, which includes six playoff contenders, could drag his $72 million reputation into the losing funk. Stafford says he doesn't care. He wants to play. Stafford is the future and he wants it start now.
NFC North blog
ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert writes about all things NFC North in his division blog.
2. Don't count Daunte out: Culpepper isn't going to make it easy to go with Stafford. Culpepper looks great. A year ago, his phones were quiet and his frustrations built to a point that he announced his retirement. Culpepper still has plenty of football left. His weight is around 260 pounds, and he's having fun again. His approach to the season is reflected in the jersey number he chose. He's wearing No. 11, symbolic of being one of the 11 guys on the team trying to help the Lions win. His arm is strong. His leadership hasn't changed. He storms around the locker room keeping players loose and motivated.
Schwartz couldn't be happier. He has two strong-armed quarterbacks to pick between. Because Culpepper is lighter, he is moving well on rollouts. He was heavier last year because he had retired and spent most of his time playing with his children. The Lions signed him and he tried to get himself back into shape during the season. He started five games on one of the worst teams in NFL history. It's pretty obvious how much work he's put into the offseason. Culpepper is back.
3. Defensive plans and schemes: Schwartz brought the defensive-linemen scheme that has worked so well for the Titans, and it makes me wonder why more teams don't use it. The plan is for the ends to line up in what is called a "nine technique" outside of the offensive tackle. The defensive tackles eat up space on the inside trying to penetrate and disrupt the blocking scheme. Schwartz says the principle is similar to the 3-4 scheme even though four players start on the defensive line. The ends force the plays to the middle of the field. If the defensive linemen can penetrate or occupy blockers, the linebackers roam free to make plays.
The key is getting bigger defensive linemen. Grady Jackson is playing the nose, and it's hard to find players bigger than him, even though he has lost 30 pounds (and now weighs 340). Obviously, having a dominating tackle such as Albert Haynesworth -- as Schwartz had in Tennessee -- makes life easier. It's pretty clear the Lions don't have a Haynesworth. Fourth-round choice Sammie Hill is an interesting 329-pound wide body who will fit into the defensive tackle rotation, and Schwartz will rotate linemen to keep them fresh.
4. Injuries piling up -- as usual: What the Lions should consider is having a medical center sponsor team headquarters. Every time I see the Lions in camp, they are loaded with injuries. They had around 10 on the sidelines Monday, which isn't an uncommon number two weeks into training camp. Schwartz has a fair but physical camp, but it just seems the Lions have been snakebitten with injuries for years. Some of that might be because they've always maintained a veteran roster, loaded with older players who tend to get banged up in camp.
Defensive end Jared DeVries blew out an Achilles and is lost for the season. Wide receiver Calvin Johnson had a cast on his right hand to protect a sprained thumb. That injury is considered minor, but if anything happens to Johnson, the Lions' passing offense would be in serious trouble. Tight end Brandon Pettigrew is just getting back to work after missing some time with an injury. Just once, I'd like to see a Lions training camp with healthy Lions.
5. Unheralded Smith in vital role: The least-publicized asset on the Lions is running back Kevin Smith. He's like Matt Forte in Chicago -- a talented, quiet runner who slips under the radar. What's great about Smith and Forte is that they appreciate the game and work hard at their craft. Smith rushed for 976 yards and caught 39 passes as a rookie in 2008.
Because Schwartz knows the importance of the running game from his days in Tennessee, the Lions plan to run the ball a lot.
Smith is smart. A year ago, he focused on getting heavier to handle the rigors of being a workhorse back. He played at 217 pounds. During the offseason, he realized the weight was holding him back. So he has trimmed down to 208 pounds and is quicker. An interesting backup to watch is sixth-round pick Aaron Brown, a fast 205-pounder. He could help out on sweeps and some screens.

Vintage Pulp | Feb 9 2015 |
Police Gazette sometimes faced a need for Adolf Hitler to star on their covers that surpassed available supplies of art. The February 1956 cover you see above was the first time that particular image was used, but they dug it out again for their January 1977 issue, which you see below, and which we showed you in larger size here. By now you know the Gazette's mission post-World War II was to prove Hitler didn't die in Berlin. In this issue George McGrath—the same writer who usually penned these stories—offers a list of reasons why Hitler was still alive as of 1956. Among them:
In short—and this seems especially appropriate to point out with American news anchor Brian Williams in hot water for alleged on-air lies, and Fox News being laughed at for echoing an obviously fake story about the King of Jordan flying combat missions against ISIS—sloppy or false reporting in America's most popular media outlets has always been a problem. The old tabloids fashioned themselves as maverick truthtellers, and that label, along with some flashy visuals, was enough to attract eyeballs. For today's cable news, the same self-labeling and eye candy visuals work the same way. We will have plenty more from the Police Gazette later.

Confidential gives Kim Novak the cover and Lili St Cyr the inset on an issue published this month in 1965. Inside, the editors offer readers mostly lukewarm rehash, as was Confidential's usual approach during its fangless mid-1960's years, but there are also a few interesting tidbits. We learn that Lili St. Cyr took more than thirty Nembutals during her 1958 suicide attempt, yet still managed to survive though as few as three pills can be fatal. Ramfis Trujillo's wild Parisian parties are detailed, including the time he and his entourage shot up the lobby of the Hotel George V. And we find out that Frank Sinatra paid a $400 fine in Spain for disturbing the peace when he blew up after a woman threw a drink on him.
But even if Confidential wasn't kicking ass and taking names in 1965, its visuals were still quite nice, with those impactful black, white and red graphics, and that super hip language that's so much of its time but which is still amazing to read today. Try this on for size: "Call the men in the white coats and get the whacky wagon rolling, your favorite swinging correspondent is ready for Flipsville!" We're always ready for Flipsville, and we're always ready for mid-century tabloids, too. How many of these do we have left in our collection? You wouldn't believe us if we told you. We'd sell some, but how could we possibly part with them? We're stuck with them. And so are you. Twenty-plus scans below.

Just in time to ruin everyone's Christmas shopping, this National Police Gazette from December 1960 splashed Adolf Hitler's face on its cover along with an inset of Swedish actress May Britt (who could hardly have appreciated the inclusion). George McGrath's story minces no words, opening with this: Indisputable evidence that Adolf Hitler is alive and living in the Argentine has has been uncovered by the Police Gazette. Although this new information is in the hands of government intelligence chiefs, the United States and its allies are not lifting a finger to catch the runaway Nazi dictator.

Police Gazette editors hit the panic button with this November 1961 cover claiming the Soviets have a death ray bomb. For a mere twenty-five cents readers were able to acquire new nightmare material by reading about this superweapon, which in the story is called an n-bomb. They're of course referring to a neutron bomb, which by releasing deadly unshielded neutrons would minimize destruction and contamination of property but maximize human death. Not quite rays, so much as a wave emitted by a massive air burst, but still, the new element it brought to the nuclear party was wantonly scattered neutrons, so, okay—rays it is. It must have been a real stunner for Gazette's millions of readers to learn of this horrific weapon, but unless the Russian scientist who brainstormed it into existence was named Sam Cohen we have to call bullshit on this tall tale, for it was Samuel T. Cohen—an American physicist—who conceived and developed the neutron bomb.
many stories about Hitler living in bitter, defeated isolation in South America, here readers see happy Hitler, socializing during the 1930s with friends and compatriots. Next up, Gazette gives readers their fix of celebrity content with Rita Hayworth, who had been married five times and whose problem the editors are only too happy to diagnose—in their esteemed opinion she's just too wild to be tamed. And lastly, Gazette presses panic button number two by tying the nascent civil rights movement to communist agitation from overseas. This is a tabloid tale that was told often in the 1960s because, well, we don't know why exactly—presumably because who besides the puppets of foreign governments would ever deign to demand equal rights? Anyway, we have a few scans below, and an entire stack of early 1970s Gazettes we hope to get to soonish.
Sex Files | Oct 25 2014 |
Of all the books Berlin-based publishing company Goliath has produced, perhaps none is more essentially pulp in nature than Private Pornography in the Third Reich. 1950s and 1960s men's adventure magazines were obsessed with Nazis, and Third Reich spies littered post-war pulp fiction. The stories and art were often sexual in nature, such as here and here, sometimes hinting at or portraying depravity behind closed doors. With Private Pornography in the Third Reich the doors are closed no more. Stepping into forbidden salons, we're presented not only with challenging images, but the social questions pornography raises, plus the specter of Third Reich authoritarianism and eventual war.
In another few years the Reich would have near total control of life in Germany, and operate a chain of concentration camps in which those deemed sexual deviants could be imprisoned. As a historical document of the sex industry during the anti-lust years leading up to that period, PrivatePornography in the Third Reich is fascinating. The subject is taboo, the photos perhaps more so. They range from artful salon compositions to raunchy reverse cowgirl penetration shots, which means it may not be coffee table material for everyone, but for the adventurous it's certain to live up to aesthetic expectations, and provoke vigorous debates as well.

This September 1964 National Police Gazette cover is the twenty-fourth we've found starring Adolf Hitler within the date range 1951 to 1966. You get the idea here—Hitler didn't die in Berlin, because he was harder to eradicate than polio, and was instead living in the tropics/Argentina/Antarctica plotting to build a Fourth Reich. We mentioned before that we thought Hitler appeared on the cover of the Gazette twice a year. That's now confirmed. We found five more covers to bring his total to twenty-nine between '51 and '66. When you consider how often other Reich figures such as Adolf Eichmann starred, it becomes clear the Nazis were a cottage industry for the Gazette, which used tales of their dreaded return to induce outrage and fear—and no small amount of newsstand sales. In that way we consider this magazine (and others) to be the precursor to today's American cable news, where inducing outrage and fear has overtaken responsible journalism as a modus operandi. The Gazette would use Hitler for as long as it plausibly could—we have a cover from 1974 claming he was still alive at age eighty-five—before focusing on other fictional threats, such as the scientific community. That sounds familiar too, doesn't it? We'll have more from Gazette and Hitler later.

This amazing Italian poster is for a cuddly little piece of nazisploitation called Perversion, which was originally made in France as Nathalie rescapée de l'enfer, and known in the English speaking world as Nathalie: Escape from Hell. A poster like this cries out for us to watch the film, and luckily we were able to track it down and screen it. The art pretty much nails it. A French farmer's daughter is captured by the Nazis and sent to a castle brothel, where she endures the usual sexploitation degradations—gropings, whippings, and uninvited advances from a domineering, leather-clad queen bee named Helga Hortz. A love connection develops between Nathalie and a German officer, and when the affair comes to light Helga decides it's time to hortz poor Nathalie. This is a really bad movie. It's the type of flick that includes lengthy sequences of the villains going Mwah hah hah hah hah hah! All it needed was Monty Burns rubbing his gnarled hands together and intoning, "Smithers, release the hounds." On the plus side, star Patrizia Gori gives it her all, and the supporting cast includes Barbara Moose and Brigitte Lahaie. Perversion aka Nathalie rescapée de l'enfer premiered in France today in 1978.
Wait—so this internet thing you're talking about will be globally available and filled with every shitty old movie ever made?

Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day—the Allied landings in Northern France—and since most observances take the same form, we thought it would be a good opportunity to look at the event from a different angle by sharing something you might not see anywhere else. So above and below are some front and back covers of Signal, a German propaganda magazine printed from 1940 to 1945 and distributed in neutral, friendly, and occupied countries. These are from Yugoslavia, and their text is Croatian. Glancing at the images is to marvel at the always yawning chasm between propaganda and reality, for though Signal showed Hitler's soldiers defeating foes while winning hearts and minds, when most of these were printed his army was not only the most hated entity in the Western world, but was already in the process of being fatally smashed in the crucible of a bitter Russian winter against a hardened foe that had always considered ice, snow, wind and frostbite its most important allies.

It's been a few months, so we're bringing Hitler back on The National Police Gazette. This example from March 1951 is the twenty-first Hitler cover we've located, all of them from the 1950s and 1960s, which means he starred for the Gazette at least yearly for two decades. But of course, that's just an average based on the issues we've found so far. We know for certain there were others, and ultimately we'll probably determine that he was featured closer to twice a year. As you can see yourself, this time Gazette is concerned with Hitler's fake suicide, which journo Harvey Wilson says was propaganda put out by the Soviets to cover for their failure to capture him as Berlin burned.
Leaving aside the question of who's really doing the propagandizing here, it's a clever little pivot by the Gazette, which went from merely claiming Hitler had escaped to blaming the escape on Moscow, resulting in a nifty mash-up of two of post-War America's biggest boogeymen—Hitler and Khrushchev. Later the Gazette would claim Hitler or his henchmen were tight with other enemies of the American power elite, including Abdel Nasser and Juan Peron. One year after the above issue came out, Gazette turned around and in its May 1952 issue, at right, blamed Hitler's escape on the Allies. And let's not forget the infamous Hitler-in-Antarctica story, truly one of the all-time creative highlights of mid-century tabloid journalism. Well, wherever Hitler fled, the Gazette'll straighten it out for us in due time. We just have to keep digging up issues. Meanwhile, a couple of scans below, and more from the Gazette to come.

We've run across some unusual World War II memorabilia over the years, but this might be the quirkiest item we've seen. Pretty much self-explanatory, it's morale boosting anti Hitler propaganda in the form of a die-cut effigy. He could be used as a bookmark, or a lamp pull, or—in the case of the lucky duck who sold this trinket online for a serious windfall—not used at all so that it would be in A1 condition for the auction market decades later. It was produced by a company in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and came complete with a tiny piece of rope to make hanging it easy for the buyer. Morbid but amazing.

Bloc Party
For Bloc Party, the smashing success of 2005's Silent Alarm could have sealed its fate, time-stamped it as a post-Strokes dance-rock band strapped tight to an expired decade. But the U.K. quartet pushed through, continuing to find subtle triumphs, its catchy post-punk style shining through on two more stylistically steady releases, the critic-polarizing A Weekend in the City and Intimacy. In 2009, the group went on hiatus, and lead singer Kele Okereke stepped out on his own as a solo artist. But Bloc Party returned in the summer of 2012 with the aptly titled Four, a raucous record that gave the traditional rock band a new rhythmic dynamism in which co-founder Russell Lissack's guitar work got heavier, channeling a Siamese Dream-era Billy Corgan. But perhaps the most defining aspect of the act's jagged sound was Okereke's vocals, which have undergone a makeover, as well: His token sassy sing-talking style is still there, but his range and strength have matured pleasantly.

This is my first game of this genre and I really feel behind the curve. I started playing a few weeks ago and everything was all good. I lost more than i won initially, learned alot and got a bit better. I had > 50% ratio for what its worth and often found a list of nothing but wins on my profile. This last week has been horrible. I am not just losing alot I am getting personally decimated. I am often going 0/9/5 etc. Some games I have zero farm laning against scions and mundos who are kicking me around like a dopeless hopefiend under my tower at lvl 3. So many games my coffers are solely filled by my team getting tower kills and g over time. I voraciously read the char guides and the forums in general. I watch videos of others playing. I like this game but i am obviously a huge burden on the rest of my team ( and people are rarely shy about letting me know). I am not infallible and make plenty of mistakes but largely I just feel outclassed. The wins I do get are almost entirely on the shoulders of better players than I. I am a feeder and let me tell you, it sucks. To those I have played with and ruined your game I am sorry. Is there a minor league of legends?
Senior Member
made me smile
I sympathize with you completely, and thankfully there are feeders out there who know they're feeders who want to get better =] I'd suggest changing heros. If you were originally a carry, be a support or tank. If you were support, try carry. If you were tank, try carry. If you were switching between heroes here and there, then it's normal to be losing more because each hero has its own playstyle and items and suggested rune slots. Just find the hero you like and get really good at it.
Play with an overly simple class. Twitch is a good one..all you have to do is right click your enemies. Hes so easy a monkey makes him look pro. He also stealths. No skill involved in Twitch.
Haha. But really you should play practice games. If this is in practice games well WTF these people are stupid. If your team was actually good they would A) offer advice B) switch lanes if needed. There have been many teams I see a team mate failing and switch with them and give them advice and boom they are back in it. This hasn't happened to me recently due to ELO but when it did that's what should be done. If you feel practice games are too easy THEN switch to match making. Honestly you won't learn anything from practice games if you stomp the entire team. I am sorry to hear that people are ****s and not helpful. The only time I get pissed is when they feed and WILL NOT listen to me or attempt to change what they are doing.
just keep playing, and i agree with StyLeD, change up heroes until u find one that works, the learning curve for LoL is steep and it takes a good 60 games, i would say before u get the hang of the game. add me as friend and i can show u what i know( which is very little)
just play practice games alot and you'll get better! and someday you'll be able to call out "hey stop that feeding!"
I have to agree with you there. I was just like you! During beta I played Anivia almost 100% and was rocking faces hard, I had scores like 20 - 2 - 10 on an average game and felt like I was the main reason our team was winning, come November 17th (and a lesser time before that as well) my whole world got flipped like you. My strat didn't change at all but it seemed like everyone elses' did as I started being like 2 - 10 - 4 on more games than I'd like. So I finally did it and changed to AP Kayle on most my games and I'm not a master like I used to be, but now my scores are back to awesome again. (For an AP Support character at least) I usually hit 5 - 2 - 14 on my games now. Even when there's a patch that doesn't seem to effect you, sometimes it makes your playstyle completely worthless and it can be hard to adapt. Try a different hero, or hero type and see how you do. It can make a huge difference.
I'm like you on this one. I got decently good with Ashe but, playing the same exact hero consistantly every game gets boring. So I switch to Tyr and do ok, I just have a very hard time laning against casters and other ranged being a melee char. He's awesome to play but early game I usually have quite a few deaths racked up due to not being able to time correctly. It's very frustrating for me and for the team I'm on. I'm definately going to be trying out free chars in practice games to see if there's any others I can get into.
I don't recommend playing an "easy" champion just for the sake of doing so. I've always had the best experience when i pick the hero that i think is the coolest, even if they're a bit trickier to play. I do second the practice game suggestion tho.

With the basketball teams now on the courts and some football teams still on the field, it was only a matter of time that the wrestling teams would take to the mats. For many local teams, the 2008-09 wrestling season kicks off with the second annual Army Strong Spartan Slam, which begins at 9 a.m. today at West Hall High School.
The East Hall wrestling team opened its regular season with a 48-36 win against Buford on Friday in Gainesville.
The West Hall girls basketball team defeated Pace Academy 49-44 in the East Jackson tournament on Saturday in Commerce. Jayla Moon, a senior, scored 17 to lead the Lady Spartans (1-1) and Bailey Soucie added 12.
JEFFERSON - The Jefferson and Lovett offensive units were about as hot as it was cold Friday night, combining for 58 points and 830 yards in the second round of the Class AA playoffs at Jefferson Memorial Stadium.But the Lions' offense was a bit hotter and their defense and special teams a little stronger as they outscored the Lions 13-7 in the second half for a 34-24 victory.
CHAMBLEE - North Hall coach Bob Christmas saw the same effort out of his team that they played with all season in their second round playoff game against Dunwoody on Friday night at North DeKalb Stadium in Chamblee.
CHATTANOOGA - Connor Shaw's 17-yard touchdown pass to Robby Boudreau with 52.6 seconds left to play lifted Flowery Branch to a thrilling 21-14 victory over Ridgeland on Friday night in the Class AAA state playoffs.
All substance and no flash, that's how Chestatee did it.
Buford softball coach Tony Wolfe brings an interesting perspective to the field.
BUFORD -- The driving force that pushed the Buford High football team through last year's playoffs en route to a state championship seems to be back again.
GAINESVILLE - Size plays a factor when it comes to winning and losing in high school basketball.
Coming off the bus and walking to the field during their traditional Elephant Walk, the Gainesville Red Elephants looked focused. Once they stepped foot on the field, Big Red looked nothing short of dominant.
For four years, the Flowery Branch offense had a solid identity.
While he's lived in four different states and two countries, Phillip Gaines has always been able to find a home on the football field.
The West Hall High basketball team opened its regular season with a 92-66 win against Jackson County on Thursday in Oakwood.
COMMERCE - Freshmen normally aren't the go-to players for any team, especially during the playoffs.
HOMER – If there's a winning formula for the second-seed Banks County Leopards in the Class AAA state playoffs, it is get it to the big men.
Behind smothering defense and Ty Cockfield's game-high 31 points, Johnson's victory over Southeast Whitfield was never in question.
Gainesville junior D'Marcus Simonds scored 33 points and knocked down a game-winning shot at the buzzer in overtime for a 56-54 win against North Atlanta in the opening round of the Class AAAAA state tournament on Thursday.
Chestatee allowed five quick points by Pickens' Haley Kalson in the final minute of the first half Thursday to open the postseason in Gainesville. It didn't appear to be too much to overcome at the time, trailing by only three at intermission.
In some ways, it took East Hall an entire season to hold off and ultimately defeat Oconee County in Wednesday's first-round state playoff game.
JEFFERSON - The Banks County Lady Leopards' tough region served them well in the opening round of the Class AAA state basketball tournament.
Shikiya Brown tallied 13 points to lead Gainesville's girls to a 54-34 win over Kell in the first round of the Class AAAAA tournament on Wednesday in Marietta.
For the second straight day, icy conditions are taking a toll on the basketball state playoffs in Northeast Georgia.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm on a pump vacation right now and have been doing humalog/lantus for about 6 months now, and this is the first time this has happened in this amount. I was just doing my lantus injection, and I must have hit some scar tissue because when I pulled out the needle, it seemed like a bunch of lantus squirted back out. Like, a lot!
Anyway, I'm wondering if I should do another couple of units, or if I should just test more throughout the day.
Any ideas?
Hi Dani - that happens to me every once in a while, too. For me, I think it has a lot to do with injecting at the same site too frequently (probably due to scar tissue, as you mentioned). When that happens, I usually just inject again with a few extra units of Lantus.
Cool thanks! I think I'm going to do a few units at lunch just to be safe. I've been a little on the high side anyway.
This happen to me a few time. What I do to prevent this is after I inject myself
I wait 30 seconds before I pull out the needle so the medication could spread under the skin and not leave a fresh hole for it to squirt out (back flow). or have a cotton ready to apply at the injection site.

Final Score: Atlanta 99, Charlotte 90
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Joe Johnson scored a season-high 36 points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 99-90 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.
Tyronn Lue scored 25 points off of the Atlanta bench to help snap a two-game skid for the Hawks. Zaza Pachulia and Joe Smith both registered double-doubles on the night, with Pachulia scoring 12 and grabbing 13 rebounds, while Smith also pulled down 13 boards, scoring 10 points.
Sean May and Raymond Felton scored 21 points apiece in the loss, Charlotte's third in four games. May also raked in 17 boards off of the bench. Brevin Knight scored 17 points for the Bobcats.
"I'm just trying to go out there now and be aggressive, do whatever I can to help this team," said May.
Atlanta held a sizeable lead through much of the game, but Charlotte was able to cut to within three at 91-88 on a jumper by May with 5:12 left in the game. The Hawks answered, though, and finished on an 8-2 run to ice the game.
The Hawks had opened the third quarter on a 12-5 run that gave them a 24-point lead, their largest of the game. A Pachulia layup put Atlanta up 70-46 with 7:46 left in the third quarter.
Charlotte rookie Adam Morrison was largely absent on the offensive end, scoring only six points on a 2-of-10 shooting performance.
Both teams came out ice-cold, as the score with five minutes left in the first quarter was only 10-2 in advantage of Atlanta, with Charlotte's only points coming on two free throws by Primoz Brezec. Two Pachulia free throws gave the Hawks a 12-2 lead, but the Knight scored six points down the stretch in the quarter to send the Bobcats into the second quarter only trailing by three, at 19-16.
The second quarter was all Johnson, as the Hawks guard scored 22 points, six shy of the Hawks franchise-record of 28 set by Dominique Wilkins. Johnson hit three consecutive threes at one point, bringing the crowd to its feet as he led Atlanta to a 37-25 advantage in the quarter that gave the Hawks a 56-41 lead at halftime.
"I was just taking pretty much what the defense gave me," said Johnson of his hot streak in the second quarter. "I just got into a little zone."
Game Notes
The Bobcats missed their first 13 shots from the field, a streak finally broken by a May turnaround jumper at 4:11 of the first quarter...May's 21 points marked a career high...Johnson has five 30-point games this season...Charlotte shot only 36.6 percent from the field, compared to Atlanta's 47.4 percent shooting performance.

Volume 8, Number 7—July 2002
Role of Electronic Data Exchange in an International Outbreak Caused by Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium DT204b
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
From July through September 2000, patients in five European countries were infected with a multidrug-resistant strain of Salmonella Typhimurium DT204b. Epidemiologic investigations were facilitated by the transmission of electronic images (Tagged Image Files) of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles. This investigation highlights the importance of standardized protocols for molecular typing in international outbreaks of foodborne disease.
From July through September 2000, patients in five European countries (England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Iceland) were infected with a strain of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive phage type (DT) 204b; the strain was resistant to ampicillin (A), chloramphenicol (C), gentamicin (G), kanamycin (K), streptomycin (S), sulphonamides (Su), tetracyclines (T), trimethoprim (Tm), and nalidixic acid (Nx). The strain also had decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (CpL), with an MIC by E-test of 0.38 mg/L (1,2). Over 350 laboratory-confirmed cases were recognized. Epidemiologic investigations implicated shredded lettuce as the vehicle of infection (1).
Isolates from patients in Iceland, the Netherlands, and Scotland were referred to the England and Wales Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens for phage typing and antibiogram analysis. These isolates were compared with those from a concurrent outbreak of multiresistant S. Typhimurium DT204b in northeastern England and from patients returning to England and Wales after visiting other European countries. A panel of seven isolates from outbreaks in England, Scotland, Iceland, and the Netherlands and from patients returning to the United Kingdom after visiting Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands were further characterized by a variety of molecular techniques, including plasmid profile typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), fluorescent amplified fragment-length polymorphism fingerprinting (FAFLP), and integron typing; specific resistance genes were characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the mutation conferring decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin was identified by a LightCycler (Roche Diagnostics Ltd., Lewes, U.K.) gyrA mutation assay (GAMA) (3). Isolates from Germany and Scotland were typed independently with the same phenotypic methods as those used in the Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens and also by plasmid profile typing and PFGE. To facilitate epidemiologic investigations, PFGE Tagged Image Files (TIFs) of banding patterns of isolates from England, Scotland, and Germany were exchanged electronically.
Conjugation experiments were performed at both 28°C and 37°C by using a rifampicin-resistant strain of Escherichia coli (strain 20R764) as the recipient. Resultant plasmids were classified by incompatibility. DNA was extracted from transconjugants by using a DNeasy tissue kit (Qiagen Ltd., Crawley, U.K.). For plasmid profile analysis, plasmids were resolved by electrophoresis at 110 V for 3 hours in 0.8% wt/vol agarose. Oligonucleotide primers synthesized by MWG-Biotech UK Ltd. (Milton Keynes, U.K.) were used to detect the antibiotic resistance genes aadA2, blaCARB-2, blaTEM, sul1, tetA (class A), tetA (class G), tetA (class B), and integrons in both wild-type strains and E. coli K12 transconjugants. The nucleotide sequence of these primers and the corresponding temperature profiles for amplification have been described (4). GAMA, designed to detect three different gyrA mutations, was performed in a LightCycler instrument under previously described reaction components and conditions (3). For PFGE, agarose plugs were prepared by the method of Powell et al. (5) with 2% chromosomal grade agarose (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hemel Hempstead, U.K.) replacing the 2% Type VII LGT agarose (Sigma Chemical Co., Poole, U.K.). Samples were run through a 1% pulsed-field certified agarose gel (Bio-Rad) at 180 V for 44 hours, with pulse times ramped from 6 to 72 seconds. For FAFLP, the selective primer combinations Eco+0 Mse+T, Eco+0 Mse+TA, and Eco+0 Mse+CG were used, and gel separation and fragment analyses were performed, all as described by Scott et al. (6).
All seven isolates had phage typing reactions corresponding to S. Typhimurium DT204b. This rare phage type was reported in only 40 cases in England and Wales in the 5-year period 1996–2000 and had never been identified in Iceland before this epidemic.
With the exception of resistance to nalidixic acid and decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, the complete resistance spectrum (ACGKSSuTTm) was transferable to E. coli K12 rifr as an intact linkage group. Plasmid profile analysis demonstrated the presence of five plasmids of 120, 65, 4.0, 3.0, and 2.0 MDa. Most transconjugants with the resistance pattern ACGKSSuTTm had a single incompatibility group H2 plasmid of 120 MDa. A few transconjugants had both the 120-MDa plasmid and an additional plasmid of 65 MDa. When PCR amplification was performed on DNA from transconjugants harboring either the single 120-MDa plasmid or both the 120-MDa and 65-MDa plasmids, positive results for aadA2, blaTEM, sul1, and tetA (class A) were obtained; blacarb-2, tetA (class G), and tetA (class B) were negative. When studied by integron PCR, one discrete 1.6-kb band was generated in transconjugants when either the 120-MDa plasmid or both the 120-MDa and the 65-MDa plasmids were present. In addition, one very faint amplicon of approximately 4 kb was consistently produced. Whether both the 120-Mda plasmid and the 65 Mda-plasmid have tetracycline resistance genes or whether tetracycline resistance is encoded by only the 120-MDa plasmid is unclear. When studied by GAMA, the gyrA mutation was that of aspartate to glycine (GAC-GGC) at codon 87.
PFGE profiles of all seven isolates were indistinguishable (Figure). To facilitate epidemiologic investigations, PFGE and plasmid profile TIFs of the banding patterns of these isolates and those of multiresistant S. Typhimurium DT204b from Scotland and Germany were exchanged electronically. In all cases, the resultant PFGE and plasmid profiles were indistinguishable. Finally, when studied by FAFLP, the seven isolates were identical.
These results confirm that the strains of S. Typhimurium DT204b of R-type ACGKSSuTTmNxCpL responsible for outbreaks of infection in five European countries in the summer of 2000 were indistinguishable by all phenotypic and molecular criteria used for their characterization. A key aspect of this investigation was the rapid exchange of molecular fingerprints between laboratories already using standardized phage typing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. In the United States, the exchange of molecular data has been addressed by the establishment of PulseNet, a national molecular typing scheme based on a standard method for PFGE; a similar network is being set up for the major Salmonella reference laboratories in Europe with research funding from the European Commission. Developing compatible networks for the exchange of real-time molecular data for S. enterica on an intercontinental scale would be of major benefit for the global control of salmonellosis.

Birthday awesomeness!
This post is dedicated to the people I love and cannot live without.
I had the most splendid weekend and got a ton of thoughtful, useful and lovely presents!
A big thank you to everyone who got together to make my day so special.
I've always secretly wanted my friends to draw for me, and I don't know how my thoughts carried through the wind, but they actually took the time to make some of the most beautiful, meaningful and magical work I have ever been on the receiving end of.
I cannot tell you how much this really means to me. You are all magic, you are all joy.
Love you.
Paper quilling awesomeness from Kanshu!
Magical matches and lovely little messages by Nandu!
8 bit me, with nail colour and earrings and floral prints! Such detail by Ladoo.
My love for dogs (and the way I sit) perfectly captured by Shubee!
Thank you for everything! Thank you for making the time, no matter the place.

The Importance of Hugs
We live in a world, where there cannot be a more important thing than to emphasize the need for love.
After a long year, of seemingly endless work and terrible food, welcome home Maddy!
A big thank you for the charms bracelet. I cannot tell you how much I love it!
Something's never change. I will always love you.
Now for organising those weekends!! :D

'The only thing keeping you from being happy, is the belief that you are alone.' - Anna Draper, Madmen.
Too many terrible tidings on the news, too many treacherous losses over the last couple of weeks. A small prayer for peace. A little hope for more love. And genuine gratitude, for what some of us are fortunate enough to have.
A big thank you, especially to Ladoo, for making the distance take a hike, always. :) ♥.

I confess, I used to be mortified by the sight of lizards. No logic really. Ironically, I would probably appear to be some tail-less Godzilla to it, but it's just one of those things that you fear and refuse to reason with.
I've had this Mother lizard in my room, for say over 2 years. She pretty much keeps to herself, sometimes taking rounds between my desk and a small hole in the wall behind my waste paper basket, catching moths and light bugs and what not. Every once in a while she leaves a little surprise on my table while I'm asleep at night, not a pretty one. but the previous nights digested dinner.
It's all peaceful.
She goes outside for a walk on the wall, has a one night stand and has a ton of babies.
Suddenly, I wake up one morning, and they are all over the place. Crawling out from behind the tube-lights, merging with the ply on my desk, snoozing on the rim of my wardrobe.
Mother lizard knows me, but these fellows? NO. So the minute I shriek, they fall, either on me or near my feet, running nervously in all directions, me all the while trying to stand still in order not to step on them.
So this is how it is post mating season. A lot of lizard babies and a lot of mild trauma on my part.
But then everything changed.
My partner got me some sticky paper to trap these guys and throw them into the bushes.
Things were going too far, and I couldn't keep track of them anymore. I'd go to sleep with one perched on my tube-light, then wake up in the middle of the night for a drink of water and find them on the frame above my head. Have you ever turned the lights on and off and seen how fast they move from one place to another? DON'T. Apparition exists, Harry Potter fans.
So I finally got around using this paper. And it changed my life. How?
I put it on the floor and waited. There was this particular Tiny thing that merged with the ply on my desk. Bold and brave, catching bugs almost one third it's size. And then one of these bugs landed on the paper, Tiny thing gets excited. Tiny thing is stuck on paper.
With probably the most courage I have ever had to display, I picked the paper up opened the window and let it go. Lizard gone, cool wind blowing and I realized a minute too late, that it broke my heart.
Not that I wanted a room infested with lizards, but it was out there in the cold, predators and all. The adhesive would dry in a bit and it would be free to go. But why I found it necessary to do that to something so tiny, I could not find an answer to. I stood by the window for an hour.hoping it would crawl back in. Actually hoping, waiting.
And then when it didn't, I sat down on the floor and had the biggest cry I've had in a very long time.
Not a pretty sight.
The next morning I looked out the balcony and the paper was empty, the bug and Tiny thing were both gone. I felt guilt and then relief.
Now? I have roommates. I've learnt to live with them. When they need my desk, I just give them their privacy and leave the room, or pretend my bed is an island and plonk myself there.
I sometimes even try to stick light bugs to broom sticks and feed these guys (hasn't worked so far, you have to be really really still). I'll still scream if one falls on me and quietly leave the room if it's running all over the place. But I am not mortified anymore. I wish to coexist.
I've worked on a tiny, silly little short film, bearing only little coincidence to real life events.
It should be up soon, and here's a still from it ^^.
I hope you have a laugh or a shiriek, but enjoy it.
Coming soon! :D

I was gifted an early birthday present this year! :D
It's my new Ukulele! I've aptly named her Celestine, from Ernest and Celestine., because she's small but isn't in the least shy of speaking her mind when strummed!
I love to sing (I'm not sure if I'm any good), and have been wanting to own an instrument to accompany my singing for a while now. And I finally do! All my love and gratitude go to my partner; you have no idea how grateful, thankful and happy I am, to own one of these! I love you so much!
On the other hand, I've been experimenting with new styles and this one's a semi-rough sketch of working purely with light and colour and no lines. SO MUCH FUN!! :D
Hopefully more to come soon!

To Dada, love, Mamoni.
To my father who taught me everything, and still looks at me as if I were a child.
Thank you for everything Dada, I am and shall always be, ever grateful.
(On a technical note, this was an experiment to understand colour and light. And drawing everything with colour, including the shadows and highlights. So in other words, it's all one single layer of colour!
Open the image in a new tab for details!)

The Key to Happiness
and my first acrylics on canvas! :D
It's difficult to put into words what we feel for those we love.
Everything that's ever been good/deal in my life, I've always had to work really hard for. But the joy of experiencing that something good, when you least expect it, has always been worth the wait, the agony and the hope.
If you have that good thing in your life, treasure it, guard it, and love it, like every day were the first day you realised you had it.
Thank you Fuff', I love you. Big Happy two and to infinity and beyond.
The distance is only a state of mind. After all, there's a window on your wall now.

Up On the Daily Prophet!
To the greatest woman on Earth to me. Thank you endlessly, for every little and large thing you have done for us, thank you for all the little and large sacrifices you have made to put our happiness first. Mommy, you are everything to Dada, Gau', Leo' and me.
My mother, is the reason, that I have so much to be thankful for, today, every day. One right move in the right direction, at the right time, changed my life, for the best I think it could possibly be.
She's Magic.
I devote my lifetime in keeping you as happy as the best I can. I love you.
(psst: click on the image if it's not moving, and view in a new tab. There seems to be a freezing charm (Immobulus) that's on the loose)

Food, water-colours and a small prayer for a vacation.
I've been attempting a balancing act at this point like never before! So many things to sort and work on all at the same time. All I need a nice swig of cold beer, some evening breeze, a good sketchbook with some good old cartridge paper and a partner in crime. I think he'll be here in a week.
On a different note, I'm sitting with my water-colours after ages. And I realise I've run out of all the good paper I use to have in college. Need some urgent stationary stocking up.
Wonderfully enough though, my eight year old set of Camel water-colours is still mixing up really well. She's got a decade and more, I bet.
Hope everyone out there is taking time off and enjoying the weekend!

My official first attempt at drawing my first realistic yet fictitious dragon. I had so much fun. drawing in all the details on the scales and the veins and everything. Ridiculous amounts of fun!
This one is dedicated to my best friend across the sea, Maddy. On having a conversation with here about drawing the dragon, she promptly named her Ron. She'd seen the first colour draft and was reminded of the Weasleys.
So there you go, Ronnie ♥.

Happy Birthday Soul Sister!
She is one of the most wonderful, big hearted and loving people I know. Seven years. ago she made room for me in her life and I am so glad. Apart from all the peculiar things we have in common and also those priceless moments, you truly redefine magic to me because of the human being that you are.
My best friend, my soul sister.
Happy Birthday my love!
You deserve every happiness in the world.

Somewhere only we know.
Summer's here! And so are all the birds and geckos and other little forms of life outside my window! (I am mortified of the wall lizards though)
Time for pitchers of nimboo pani, icecream and kulfi and cold water showers, films with happy endings and hanging out at air-conditioned spaces a lot longer than usual!
Open up your windows and let the sun in!
Hope everyone's got plans! :D

Helping People Live Healthy Lives
110 West K St
At BHR, our clients use their resilience to focus on their strengths and their ability to live a recovering lifestyle. We are always inspired and taught by their courage and their grace. Through their example, we know that hard work can result in a healthier and happier life in the community. We feel privileged to help our clients reach their optimum of mental health and recovery from chemical dependency.
As a multi-county provider of mental health and addiction recovery services, BHR offers the information on this web site to assist people who wish to learn more about mental health and chemical dependency issues and recovery system.
BHR's CEO, John Masterson, has an extensive hospital administration background prior to joining BHR. He has brought the agency from 120 employees with outpatient and prevention services to 400+ employees located in three counties who provide a broad regional array of inpatient and outpatient mental health programs, housing, specialty and addiction recovery programs.
What is Mental Health?
Mental Health and Mental Illness are not polar opposites but may be thought of as points on a continuum. Dependent on a person's circumstances, we know that mental health is a state of successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people and the ability to adapt and change and cope with adversity. Further, mental health is indispensable to personal well-being, family and interpersonal relationships, and contribution to community or society. It is easy in either families or communities to overlook the value of mental health until problems surface or system changes occur.
BHR was founded in 1956 as the Thurston Child Guidance Clinic under the leadership of Dr. Phillip Vandeman, the first President. During the ensuing years, much has changed in the community and the field of public mental health. BHR is honored to have been supported by Phil Vandeman through his life. We were saddened by his passing early in 2009 and are truly grateful to be a part of his legacy to the community.
BHR has changed over the years. In 2002 BHR merged with the Crisis Clinic Resource Network.
In 2004 BHR's adult and children clinical services plus the administrative offices relocated from the downtown core of Olympia to 3855 and 3857 Martin Way. The new location is close to the new psychiatric treatment facility, the Acute Psychiatric Services, built by Thurston County and operated by BHR. In this facility, BHR provides mental health evaluation and treatment (15 beds), crisis stabilization (10 beds) and crisis triage. BHR's addiction recovery services offices has relocated to 6128 Capitol Blvd, Tumwater, WA.
In 2005 BHR merged with South Sound Mental Health Services, making BHR the primary vendor of mental health services in Thurston and Mason Counties.
In 2007 BHR was invited to expand its services in Grays Harbor County and is now the major vendor of RSN mental health and addiction services there.
In 2008 BHR opened a new 34-unit housing facility in Tumwater. It houses chronically homeless and mentally ill clients. This exceptional project has been recognized as a model for housing mentally ill.

GEA Pharma Systems had developed a bi-layer conversion system for its PERFORMA™ P presses that quickly transforms the standard machine making it capable of both single- and bi-layer production. The PERFORMA™ P is already known for its outstanding high-output performance and unique compression technology featuring innovative process capabilities such as full dwell time control and equal porosity tabletting. "The PERFORMA™ P combines as no other its small footprint with a high output both single and bi-layer," said Johan van Evelghem, Sales Director for GEA Courtoy.
The new PERFORMA™ P, in its bi-layer configuration, will be on show at ACHEMA, Hall 4, Stand F44, where GEA Pharma Systems will have experienced technical and sales staff available on the stand throughout the show.

Why are you meeting in Palo Alto if you are writing for the Mountain View Voice? If you are writing for Palo Alto too, then why not write in the Palo Alto Weekly forum?

This blog has a Mountain View focus, but it's also about technology. I'd like to see more readers' thoughts to see what you think about PA Resident's comments.
In addition to writing for the Mountain View Voice, I also volunteer for other events like the VC Task Force above, which happens to be meeting in Palo Alto.
I also attend industry events in other places to meet with Mountain View companies and see how they fit into the technology industry as a whole.
The Palo Alto Weekly has a technology reporter Arden Pennell. See this week's article by Arden on the iPhone (Web Link). Also Arden has a blog (Web Link).
Don't miss out on the discussion!
