August 13-20, 2010 - 8 Nights Of New Horror, Sci-Fi, Action & Cult Movies!
2010 Program
Quentin Dupieux, 2010, France, 85 min
Toronto Theatrical Premiere, One Screening Only
Friday, Aug 20 2010, 9.00pm, Bloor Cinema
Short Description
A story about Robert, a killer tire with feelings, musician Mr Oizo's offbeat film was the talk of the Cannes Film Festival!
The Buzz
"Clever and uniquely interesting ...This bizarre black comedy horror is completely self-aware, combining never-before-seen narration with a cute, yet terrifying narrative story about a tire that likes to kill…..It's funny, gory and downright INSANE." - Bloody-Disgusting
"Probably the best film you'll ever see about a telekinetic killer tire… a whole lot of fun." - Joblo.Com's Arrow-in-the=Head
Official Selection - Cannes Film Festival
Why should you see RUBBER? No Reason. It is only the most deliriously insane and wonderful movie-going experience of the year. Robert is a tire. Yes, a tire. And he's alive and livid. Why so angry? Well there is a reason this time. Humanity doesn't treat tires all that well, and when Robert sees humans burning a whole pile of his brethren… Well… Robert gets a little mad. And you see… not only is Robert (the tire) sentient, he also has the power of telekinesis. He can make things explode. That's quite unfortunate for several of the characters in this tale of a Goodyear gone bad, but a source of entertainment for an audience, both the one within the film (a Greek chorus of sorts) and the one sitting in a dark theatre watching it (you!). Directed by Quentin Dupieux. Perhaps a person better known to you as the electronic music maestro Mr. Oizo, but soon to be known everywhere as the director of RUBBER, a movie about a tire that is utterly brilliant and absolutely hilarious.

Bayer, Drouin and Pease Named Big Ten Athletes of the Week
April 14, 2010
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Sophomores Andy Bayer and Derek Drouin and junior Sarah Pease have been named Big Ten Track and Field Athletes of the week for the week April 4-11, the conference has announced on April 14. The three Hoosiers all scored wins at the Border Battle, posting marks that rank among the best in the conference and the nation.
Indiana director and head coach Ron Helmer said that his student-athletes showed great competitiveness in the first weekend of the outdoor season.
"It is great to have our student-athletes performing at a high level early in the season, but what is exciting is the fact that we can build on these performances going forward."
Bayer collects his second Big Ten Athlete of the Week award in 2010 after posting a winning time of 3:41.87 in the 1,500-meter open. The Leo, Ind., native bested the field by more than two seconds and now owns the fourth-best time in Division I this season, and the 10th best time in school history in the event. After his victory in the 1500m, Bayer crossed the line first again in the 800-meter run at 1:50.70. Bayer came around the final turn in third-place and made a pass in the last 10 meters to win by 0.24 seconds. Overall, Bayer's two wins scored 10 points for the Hoosiers' cause.
Drouin posted 13 points for the Hoosiers, winning the high jump and 110m hurdles, while taking second in the javelin at the Border Battle last week. Drouin's clearance of 2.20m (7-2.5) is just two centimeters off his season high and bested the next closest competitor by a full inch. Drouin's clearance is 1.5 inches better than the closest jumper in Big Ten this season and also ranks sixth in the nation. Drouin also won the 110m hurdles in 14.45. It was a career best for Drouin and a .35 improvement on his career mark. The time is the fifth-best in the Big Ten this season. In the javelin, Drouin's heave of 51.29m (168-3) was just five inches shy from the winning toss.
Pease led the 3,000-meter steeplechase from the start and won in a school-record time of 10:05.67. The Indiana native finished nearly 40 seconds ahead of the field and owns the Big Ten's best time this season by the same margin. Her time also ranks third in Division I and fifth in the world this season, eclipsing her own school record by 0.35 seconds, which she set at the NCAA Championships last year. This is the first Big Ten Athlete of the Week award for the Hoosier junior.
The Hoosiers return to action at the Indiana State Quadrangular on April 16-17 in Terre Haute, Ind. For complete coverage of IU track and field, stay tuned to IUHoosiers.com.

Wheatgrass refers to the young grass of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum, that is freshly juiced or dried into powder for animal and human consumption. Both provide chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Claims about wheatgrass' health benefits range from providing supplemental nutrition to having unique curative properties. Some consumers grow and juice wheatgrass in their homes. It is often available in juice bars, alone or in mixed fruit and/or vegetable drinks. It is also available in many health food stores as fresh produce, tablets, frozen juice and powder.
The consumption of wheatgrass in the Western world began in the 1930s as a result of experiments by Charles F. Schnabel and his attempts to popularize the plant.
Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, conducted his first experiments with young grasses in 1930, when he used fresh cut grass in an attempt to nurse dying hens back to health. The hens not only recovered, but they produced eggs at a higher rate than healthy hens. Encouraged by his results, he began drying and powdering grass for his family and neighbors to supplement their diets. The following year, Schnabel reproduced his experiment and achieved the same results. Hens consuming rations supplemented with grass doubled their egg production. Schnabel started promoting his discovery to feed mills, chemist and the food industry. Two large corporations, Quaker Oats and American Dairies Inc., invested millions of dollars in further research, development and production of products for animals and humans. By 1940, cans of Schnabel's powdered grass were on sale in major drug stores throughout the United States and Canada.

Another commonly repeated claim, originally made by Schnabel in the 1940s, is that "fifteen pounds of wheatgrass is equal in overall nutritional value to 350 pounds of ordinary garden vegetables", a ratio of 1:23. Schnabel statement doesn't specify the form of wheatgrass, however, Schnabel used dried wheatgrass for his own consumption, in his research and later in his nutritional supplements; One area in which wheatgrass is thought to be superior to other vegetables is in its content of Vitamin B12, a vital nutrient. B12, it turns out, is not a vitamin contained within wheatgrass or any plant but rather a byproduct of the microorganisms living on the plant. Therefore, there are no reliable plant sources of Vitamin B12.

The 32 NFL team owners voted today to lend the Falcons $200 million for their new stadium in Atlanta.
"Today's approval by the NFL team owners is an important milestone in moving the new stadium project forward," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement. "We are pleased with the outcome of today's vote, and we look forward to continued progress in designing and constructing the new multi-purpose stadium over the next four years. We, along with our City of Atlanta and State of Georgia partners, are excited to participate in a project that will benefit the city and state for many years to come."
Taxpayers will pick up $200 million of the cost of the stadium, and Blank will foot the bill for the rest. The total cost is expected to come in at around $1 billion.
The Falcons currently play in the Georgia Dome, which opened in 1992. Plans call for the Georgia Dome to be demolished and the new stadium to be ready to go by 2017.

Kristin Chenoweth's Oscarcast Show-Stopper
During Sunday evening's Oscarcast, many Cowboys & Indians readers likely will be focused most intently on the Best Picture race, to see whether Steven Spielberg's acclaimed Lincoln takes home the grand prize, or if Quentin Tarantino's audacious Django Unchained pulls off a stunning upset. (Justified star Walton Goggins probably would be happy with either outcome.)
But don't be too quick to tune out once the final envelope is opened. According to Oscarcast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, host Seth MacFarlane and recent C&I cover gal Kristin Chenonweth are planning something special to round out the evening.
"After the Best Picture award has been given," Zadan and Meron announced this week, "Seth and Kristin will perform a special number — and we think it will be a 'can't miss' moment."
Speaking of MacFarlane: He's reportedly still a-hankering to shoot his comic western A Million Ways to Die in the West this summer, with a planned Summer 2014 release. And it's looking like the co-star of another Best Picture nominee may be playing one of the lead roles.

Preferreds Hit Hard
Asset classes that are sensitive to the movement in interest rates have struggled recently, and this includes preferred stocks. Today we saw a curious divergence between preferreds and other fixed income products, however.
Preferred stocks generally move inline with the fixed income market, so this morning when interest rates were up and bonds were down, the preferred stock ETF (PFF) was down as well. Throughout the day, though, bonds staged a rally as the equity market struggled, and the 10-Year Treasury Note along with the Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) closed positive on the day. That wasn't the case with preferreds. As shown in the first chart below, PFF opened down and continued to fall to close at essentially its lows of the day.
Clearly preferreds did not bounce with the rest of the fixed income market, which is something to keep an eye on over the next few days for sure.

Sarasota County debates ordinance on local company preference
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday
Sarasota County Commissioners debated for close to two hours today, but failed to come to a complete agreement on a new ordinance on giving preferences for contracts to local businesses.
Currently, if an outside company submits a low bid on a contract, and a local company's bid is within 10 percent, the local company may match the low bid and win the contract.
Jennifer Slusarz is the Procurement Manager for the County. She said the County lists 100 possible points in grading a proposal.
Earlier this year, the Board voted to define âlocalâ to be within 4 counties : Sarasota, Manatee, Desoto, and Charlotte.
Commissioner Joe Barbetta suggested that more points should be allocated for businesses who have been active in the community longer. Commissioner Nora Patterson didnât favor that provision.
The Board gave instructions that the provisions be separated between construction services and other goods and services. But they quarreled over other provisions. At several points Commission Chair Jon Thaxton voiced frustration.
The Board agreed to give a local preference for a company that has a minimum of 50% of their employees located in one of the 4 counties classified as local. But they then fell into a long debate about the total number of employees that could be eligible for a local preference. They ultimately decided that at least 1 full time employee be located locally.
The Board also changed their reciprocity provision.
Commisioner Joe Barbetta said the Board needed to something dramatic to help boost local companies.
With the language getting more complicated in their proposal, Commissioners voted to have their staff rework the Ordinance and bring it back to them for further discussion by the end of the month.comments powered by Disqus

If you're unclear on the main reasons the WGA is on strike, allow one of the writers from The Daily Show to explain it.
Uh, you should actually watch it, uh, anyway, even if you already understand the issues behind the strike, because it's the closest we're going to get to The Daily Show for quite some time, I fear:
Man, I miss The Daily Show. Those guys are awesome writers, and they deserve better than they're getting from the AMPT.

Reading the comments turned up something even scarier (when combined with this). First, I found out how to put the 0x01 directly in the html with a . Second, there's a bug in both IE and Mozilla (just tested with 1.5.whatever's latest in Debian Sid) that nothing after a %00 will show up in the status bar. Combine the two, and (in IE) nothing after the username shows up in either the status bar or the URL bar.
The "Click me" link points to http://firstname.lastname@example.com but on IE I see nothing after .com, and on Moz I see nothing after the 0x01 character (showing as one of those funky 'unknown character' type boxes)

text: The BBC.co.uk website has an article about how the police have successfully quashed the 2009 Halloween Naked Pumpkin run, a yearly event that takes place on the Pearl St. Mall here in Boulder, CO. Here's a link to the article. I was down on the Mall to film a flash mob and although it was fun to film I felt a little pang of sadness that I wans't going to be sprinting after 200 naked people with my video camera in hand. This year, there were around 4000 people on the mall, mostly in costume, all having a good time. The demise of the annual Pumpkin Run was also reported in the Wall St. Journal - the article can be found here. I'm sad that the good natured, fun event has been shut down by Mark Beckner, Boulder's Chief of Police but I have a feeling that this won't be the end of the Naked Pumpkin Run.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the studio, prep 2009 album
Third LP confirmed, looks like fancy dress
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back in the studio recording album number three. They're "damn close" to finishing it so expect it to drop in early 2009. It will mark the band's first since 2006's Show Your Bones and the first new material since last year's Is Is EP.
The New Yorkers broke the news with an excited note, explaining – not what the record would sound like – but what it wouldn't…
"Will it sound kind of like Show Your Bones? No, been there done that. What about Is Is? Is that more of the direction it's going in? Absolutely not, it sounds VERY different from last year's EP. Did we go back to our roots and write something closer to Fever to Tell? No looking back now silly, just full speed ahead."
So, what will it sound like? "Does it sound like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? You bet your sweet ass it does." Cheers guys, very helpful.
Fancy dress
At least the studio picture gives a little more away. Leading-lady Karen O is well-known for her 'out there' dress sense, but skeleton cat-suit and Mickey Mouse ears alongside guitarist Nick Zinner's leopard skin coat and face-paint? Let's presume it was a Halloween special. Or dress down Friday, perhaps…

I spent 2006 throughout Afghanistan in helicopters, humvees, and mountain-traversing desert boots. After severely aggravating an injury sustained at the beginning of my deployment, I left my unit early, returning to the U.S. with a CIB via Kuwait and Germany. After being released, I did what I thought a 20-year-old was supposed to do, and went to college and worked a lot. After reaching all new lows, I eventually sought help and began writing about my combat experiences and their effects. I moved to England to distance myself from my situation a bit and began writing a book.
Since then I have taught English and French in Connecticut middle schools while pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing from Fairfield University, where I am editor in chief of the journal Mason's Road. I currently work with teachers and students at the high school and college levels on incorporating poetry into the history classroom and increasing understanding of war and veterans' issues through poetry. My work has appeared internationally in print and online in such places as The New York Times, Structo Magazine, Caper, San Pedro River Review, and notalone.com. I have recently completed that book of poetry on my war experiences that I started in England, and hope to use it as a platform to help those who find themselves in similar situations to mine.

Schools to boost aid to freshmen this fall
Lawmakers cut scholarship amounts
Posted: May 13, 2013 at 2:09 a.m.
This fall, some colleges and universities in the state plan to financially assist incoming freshmen who were to get $4,500 in state lottery-funded Academic Challenge Scholarships. They will instead get $2,000 after the Legislature decided this spring to trim the amount.

Please Note: The information listed here is for the 2014 season and is kept here for reference only. The 2015 season information will be posted here in late August, 2015.
Bag limits and harvest restrictions apply to all hunters. There is no daily bag limit on deer.
A person may take no more than one (1) deer with visible antlers (excluding button bucks) in Kentucky on private land.
On some public hunting areas, including Land Between The Lakes, Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge, Fort Campbell and Fort Knox Military Reservations and Blue Grass Army Depot, a bonus antlered deer may be taken, as determined by the governing agency for each area.
In Zone 1 counties, there is no season limit on antlerless deer.
In Zone 2, 3 and 4 counties, the combined season limit is four (4) per hunter. Hunters may choose to take up to one (1) antlered deer and three (3) antlerless deer, or take up to four (4) antlerless deer total.
In summary, hunters may take a total of four deer statewide, except in Zone 1, where hunters may take an unlimited number of antlerless deer using Additional Deer Permits.
In Zone 3 a hunter may take no more than two (2) deer with a firearm.
In Zone 4, an adult hunter may take no more than two (2) deer with a firearm (one with a modern firearm and one with a muzzleloader, or both with a muzzleloader). In Zone 4 antlerless deer may only be taken with a firearm by a youth during Youth Season or Free Youth Weekend, or by any person hunting with a muzzleloader during the final three days of the December muzzleloader season.
Hunters who buy their license or permit by phone or internet must carry while hunting: a picture ID and proof of purchase (an authorization number, paper license or computer printout). Paper licenses/permits must be signed and all information completed before hunting.
All deer hunters, unless license exempt, must first buy and carry proof of purchasing a Statewide Deer Permit while deer hunting. This permit allows a hunter to take two deer: one antlered and one antlerless, or two antlerless. It doesn't matter if the antlered or antlerless deer is taken first.
To take more than two deer, an Additional Deer Permit must be purchased.
The Additional Deer Permit is valid for deer of either sex. The Additional Deer Permit allows a hunter to take up to two additional deer beyond those allowed by the statewide permit in the following combinations: one antlered and one antlerless, or two antlerless. Regardless of what permit a deer hunter carries, the statewide season limit for antlered deer is one per hunter.
The Additional Deer Permit is not valid unless the hunter has first purchased an annual hunting license and Statewide Deer Permit and is able to show proof of that in the field. A Statewide or Additional Deer Permit may be used on public and private land, and during some quota hunts.
During modern gun deer season, hunters may hunt with modern firearms, muzzleloaders, and archery and crossbow equipment, and must follow season restrictions, zone guidelines and other hunting requirements.
All hunters, including archery and crossbow hunters, and persons accompanying hunters, must wear hunter orange clothing during modern gun season.
Persons ages 15 and under hunting deer with a firearm must be accompanied by an adult who shall be in a position to take immediate control of the youth's firearm at all times.
Hunters using archery equipment during a deer firearms season must follow all firearm season restrictions, zone guidelines and other hunting requirements, and must wear hunter orange clothing.
The only exception is on state owned or managed WMAs where firearms hunting for deer or elk is prohibited.
Hunters using crossbows during a deer firearms season must follow all firearm season restrictions, zone guidelines and other hunting requirements, and must wear hunter orange clothing.
The only exception is on state ownedor managed WMAs where firearms hunting for deer or elk is prohibited.
Muzzleloaders, archery and crossbow equipment may be used during this season.
All hunters must comply with the hunter orange clothing law.
Persons ages 15 and under hunting deer with a muzzleloader must be accompanied by an adult who shall remain able and in a position to take immediate control of the youth's muzzleloader at all times.
Construction and use of tree stands on private lands is regulated by landowners.
Q: Can a hunter take a deer for someone else?
A: No. Hunters must claim any deer they take as their own. They must use their own license/permit and harvest log, and telecheck the deer using their own Social Security number.
Youth may hunt deer during any open season, including two special deer seasons for resident and non-resident hunters who have not reached their 16th birthday. Any legal deer hunting equipment is permissible. All other deer season regulations apply.
Adults accompanying youth deer hunters during either of these hunts may not use firearms to take deer.
Adults accompanying youth hunters are not required to possess a hunting license or deer permit if the adult is not deer hunting, but by law, the hunter and the accompanying adults must wear hunter orange clothing.
Kentucky's Hunter Orange Clothing Law requires ALL HUNTERS and persons accompanying them, hunting for any species during the modern gun, muzzleloading, and youth fire - arm deer seasons, or a firearm elk or bear season to wear solid, unbroken hunter orange color visible from all sides on the head, back and chest.
The first special youth deer season is on the second weekend of October. Youth hunters may take deer with firearms, or any other legal method, statewide. During the October youth-only firearms season, the appropriate hunting license and deer permits are required for hunters ages 12-15. Youth hunters under age 12 are not required to have a hunting license or deer permit.
On the first weekend following Christmas, resident and nonresident youth 15 years of age and under, who are accompanied by an adult, are eligible to participate in the Free Youth Weekend. Youth hunters may hunt deer with firearms, or any other legal method, statewide without a hunting license or deer permit.
All bag limits, zone restrictions and deer hunting requirements apply during the special youth deer seasons.
If you hunt deer in Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia and any other CWD-infected state, you may not bring a deer back into Kentucky unless the brain and spinal column have been removed first.
Allowed parts from CWD-infected states and provinces include: quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached, boned-out meat, antlers, antlers attached to a clean skull plate, a clean skull, clean teeth, hides and finished taxidermy products.
CWD has not been detected in Kentucky.
CWD has been found in 23 states and 2 Canadian provinces: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

text: The Bankotsu wiki last edited by RnR on 04/22/15 11:47PM View full history StoryThe Band of SevenBankotsu and The Band of SevenBefore he became leader of of the Band of Seven, Bankotsu traveled with his good friend, Jakotsu. The two companions faced off strong humans and demons. At some point during his travels, he came across, the powerful half-demo, Naraku, who told Bankotsu about the Shikon Jewel. Afterwards he allied himself with fellow warriors Renkotsu, Jakotsu, Suikotsu, Ginkotsu, Mukotsu, and Kyōkotsu to form would become the Band of Seven.Armed with demonic halberd, Banryu, Bankotsu led the Band of Seven and they became the most infamous gang of mercenaries throughout the land. They were hired by warlord after world to dispatch their enemies. However, the last warlord who hired felt that they were too powerful and sent his men to hunt them down. While the seven mercenaries put up an impressive fight, they were eventually captured and beheaded.Battle with InuyashaInuyasha vs. BankotsuA decade later, the Band of Seven was resurrected by Naraku with the power of the Shikon Jewel Shards. After being resurrected, Bankotsu took his position as leader of the Band of Seven. He also took the life of the warlord to murdered him and retrieved his weapon, Banryu. Afterwards, the Band of Seven went on a killing spree and the scent of blood attracted Inuyasha and he and his friends engaged the Band of Seven in battle. During the fight, Bankotsu's Banryu was heavily damaged by Inuyasha's Wind Scar. Banktosu repaired Banryu with Shikon Jewel shards that were stolen from Kagome by Renkotsu, however he killed Renkotsu when he found out that he killed Jakotsu for his jewel shards. Afterwards he sets out to find and kill Inuyasha.Final Battle on Mt. HakureiFinal DuelInuyasha and Bankotsu eventually clash again in the caves of Mt. Hakurei where Naraku was creating himself a new body and Bankotsu was in charge of protecting him. The two fought furiously in a battle to the death with Bankotsu surpassing Inuyasha in both weapon skills and hand-to-hand combat, but the half-demon continued to fight despite being completely outmatched. However, before they could continue their battle they were surrounded by a hoard of demons. As Inuyasha killed the demons to survive, Bankotsu only killed them to add to his 1000 demon record. He succeeded and the wrath of 1000 demonic lives increased Banryu's power.Inyasha and Bankotsu continued their fight with the Tessaiga barely holding its own again the demonic halberd, which Inuyasha noted that its power resembled that of Sesshomaru's sword, Tokijin. Bankotsu continued to battle Inuyasha as he revealed what happened when he first met Naraku, how he came to know about the Shikon Jewel, and how he placed power in to his Banryu by making a wish on it of absorbing the wrath of 1000 warlords and 1000 demons, making a total of 2000 lives. Inuyasha comments that Banryu is surrounded by a demonic aura and that it would best for Bankotsu to get rid of it, only for Bankotsu to respond "Go to hell, half-breed!"Bankotsu manages back Inyasha into a corner and utilize his Hatred Ball to finish him off. However, due to Banryu producing a demonic aura Inuyasha was able to use his Backlash Wave to send Bankotsu's attack back at him, finally defeating the proud leader of the Band of Seven.PersonalityBakotsu was a young man who enjoyed killing both humans and demons. However, despite his blood lust, he possessed a sense of honor.Skills and AbilitiesBankotsu was incredibly power warrior who was able to hold his own against powerful humans and demons.Enhanced Strength: Bankotsu possessed incredible strength. He was able to wield the extreme heavy Banryu with one hand where to took three men to just lift it off the ground.Hand-to-Hand Combat Skills: Bankotsu was also skilled in fighting barehanded. This was shown when he was facing Inuyasha one-on-one and was able to nearly beat him with his bare fists.WeaponryBanryu: Bankotsu was known for his use with powerful halberd, Banryu. The weapon rivaled Inyasha's Tessaiga in both size and strength and only became stronger due to it being empowered by Shikon Jewel Shards and the wrath of 1000 human and 1000 demons. Banryu possessed the ability to manipulate electricity and turn the wielder's hatred in to demonic energy.

Author defends his new work on the Kennedys
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
- David Heymann alleges in his new book that Robert F. Kennedy and his brotherâs widow, Jackie, had a chemistry that evolved into a relationship after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The accuracy of that claim has been thoroughly disputed in some quarters.
The backlash began in 1994, when he first alluded to the affair in an updated edition of his book A Woman Named Jackie. He repeated the claim in 1998's RFK: A Candid Biography.
WMNF asked Heymann about his sources â and how many are still alive for his book, Bobby and Jackie.comments powered by Disqus


text: One of the matters to have been making news later this week is word of the Italian branch of Linspire offering up free Beta access to Linspire v5.1. While this is only for the Beta program, the American branch of Linspire doesn't appear to be offering up the same access -- at least as of this writing. More information on Linspire Italiano is available here. We are going to be delivering Linspire v5.1 Beta screenshots this weekend but we have just finished up with a fresh installation of this formerly Lindows distribution. There aren't many facial changes to note with this 5.1 release compared against 5.0, but we have a few images today from the Installer interface.

"Under his direction, Sky strengthened its position as one of the UK's leading online destinations, launched a range of new online products and integrated services. Andy leaves with our thanks and best wishes."

Is the apartment locked? Check. Is the apartment locked? Check. Is the stove on? Check. Is the stove on? Check. Did I park in an illegal space? Check. Did I park in an illegal space? Check.
It is completely normal to have thoughts that you've not done these essential things and more, but becomes a problem for many—an estimated 3+ million Americans—when concern over checking and re-checking items, compulsive hand washing that can render the skin raw, becomes an obsession, and symptomatic of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). According to the DSM-IV, this behavioral health illness may be present if "obsessions or compulsions cause marked distress, are time-consuming (take more than one hour a day), or significantly interfere with the person's normal routine, occupational (or academic) functioning, or usual social activities or relationships."
According to Lawrence Robinson, Melinda Smith, M.A., and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D, obsessions are characterized as, "Involuntary, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over in your mind. You don't want to have these ideas but you can't stop them. Unfortunately, these obsessive thoughts are often disturbing and distracting." Compulsions, another hallmark trait of OCD, "are behaviors or rituals that you feel driven to act out again and again. Usually, compulsions are performed in an attempt to make obsessions go away. For example, if you're afraid of contamination, you might develop elaborate cleaning rituals. However, the relief never lasts. In fact, the obsessive thoughts usually come back stronger. And the compulsive behaviors often end up causing anxiety themselves as they become more demanding and time-consuming." People often recognize this disorder, realizing the obsessions and compulsions are excessive and unreasonable, but may have great trouble putting this knowledge into practice.
While this illness is a serious one, there are ways to combat it! An important step is recognizing the signs and symptoms of the disorder, and obtaining a professional medical analysis for appropriate diagnosis (there are usually co-morbid health conditions with most behavioral health issues) and developing concrete means of treatments. For an idea of what types of behaviors you find challenging to avoid and will want to address in therapy, consider taking the Brain Physics OCD Test. (Please note: This is not a substitute for treatment, but a tool that can be helpful in recognizing problematic symptoms).
Generally Accepted Types of OCD (individuals may have more than one):
- Washers. These individuals have a grave fear of germs, which causes them to compulsively wash their hands, hair, body, and even their home. As this is not healthy cleaning but one that often leaves the skin raw, it can become highly problematic.
- Checkers. This is characterized by irrational and gratuitous checking of objects associated with harm and danger. For example, the repeated checking of apartment locks, the stove, an iron, and so forth to insure safety, even when already checked and verified as being okay.
- Counters. People with this symptom of OCD are literally obsessed with counting and numbering, order and symmetry. They may even exhibit the irrational belief that certain colors or numbers are "evil" or "dangerous."
- Hoarders. This is characterized by the extreme fear that something bad will happen if objects are thrown away, even if these objects are not needed or even used. As a result, some individuals save items to such an extent that their homes and cars are literally packed with rotting goods (i.e., old newspapers).
- Doubters/"Sinners." This painful symptom can truly dictate one's life if they are not careful and in professional care. "Doubters" generally hold the false belief that they will be punished or something terrible will befall them if they do not have objects in a specific and often extreme order.
Signs & Symptoms of OCD: Obsessions
- Fear of being contaminated by germs or dirt or contaminating others.
- Fear of causing harm to yourself or others.
- Intrusive sexually explicit or violent thoughts and images.
- Excessive focus on religious or moral ideas.
- Fear of losing or not having things you might need.
- Order and symmetry: the idea that everything must line up "perfectly."
- Superstitions; excessive attention to something considered lucky or unlucky.
Signs & Symptoms of OCD: Compulsions
- Excessive double-checking of things, such as locks, appliances, and switches.
- Repeatedly (and irrationally) checking in on loved ones to make sure they're safe.
- Counting, tapping, repeating certain words, or doing other senseless things to reduce anxiety.
- Spending a lot of time washing or cleaning.
- Ordering or arranging things so they are "perfect."
- Accumulating "junk" such as old newspapers or empty food containers.
Treatment Techniques: You CAN get better!
Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) has long been heralded as a frontline treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, which is sometimes complimented with anti-depressant medication. This class of therapy examines how negative thoughts contribute to anxiety and other behavioral health illnesses, and seeks to correct the behavior by examining how one reacts in anxiety-ridden situations. Once one understands why they engage in such actions, continued therapy can help one in actively resisting them. It is centered around identifying negative thoughts, challenging them, and ultimately replacing such notions with realistic ones.
Psychiatrist Jeffrey Schwartz of The Westwood Institute for Anxiety Disorders, has written a deeply helpful guide to combating and correcting urges, which has been widely used to treat OCD. His work offers four steps in combatting OCD urges and compulsions, which are as follows:
- Relabel. Recognize that the intrusive obsessive thoughts and urges are the result of OCD. For example, train yourself to say, "I don't think or feel that my hands are dirty. I'm having an obsession that my hands are dirty." Or, "I don't feel that I have the need to wash my hands. I'm having a compulsive urge to perform the compulsion of washing my hands."
- Re-attribute. Realize that the intensity and intrusiveness of the thought or urge is caused by OCD; it is probably related to a biochemical imbalance in the brain. Tell yourself, "It's not me—it's my OCD," to remind you that OCD thoughts and urges are not meaningful, but are false messages from the brain.
- Refocus . Work around the OCD thoughts by focusing your attention on something else, at least for a few minutes. Do another behavior. Say to yourself, "I'm experiencing a symptom of OCD. I need to do another behavior.
- Re-value. Do not take the OCD thought at face value. It is not significant in itself. Tell yourself, "That's just my stupid obsession. It has no meaning. That's just my brain. There's no need to pay attention to it." Remember: You can't make the thought go away, but neither do you need to pay attention to it. You can learn to go on to the next behavior.
As with all behavioral health illnesses, it is imperative people with OCD take care of themselves to ameliorate particularly baneful symptoms. Further, it is critical and beneficial for everyone, but especially those with a class of anxiety disorder, to practice relaxation techniques, maintain healthy eating habits, keep a mood journal, exercise regularly, acquire adequate sleep, and refrain from isolating oneself from loved ones.
And remember, you are engaging in difficult and important daily work. Be gentle with yourself in your recovery. You deserve it.

Softball Drops First Of Three Games With Michigan State
March 29, 2013
EAST LANSING, Mich.—The Indiana softball team failed to plate a run in its 5-0 loss to Michigan State (15-13, 1-0 B1G) this afternoon in the first of its three-game series at Secchia Stadium in East Lansing, Mich.
The Hoosiers (16-17, 1-3 B1G) offense was good for four hits in the contest, with Shelby Gogreve leading IU with a pair of singles for a 2-for-3 outing. Meaghan Murphy and Lexi Reese also tallied hits for Indiana.
Murphy got the start and was dealt the loss, falling to 9-10 on the year. The lefty allowed five runs, two of which were earned, in 6.0 innings pitched. She scattered nine hits and struck out seven while walking just one MSU batter.
Michigan State's Kelly Smith got the win after tossing a complete game shutout, allowing four hits and striking out seven.
In the first, Michigan State strung together four two-out singles to take an early 3-0 lead. After back-to-back base knocks, Ellie Stoffer put a ball in play to Gogreve who fired to Reese at third to get the lead, but the throw went off the back of the base runner and ricocheted into the fence, allowing the runner to continue on and score. A single back up the middle in the following at bat brought in another two for the Spartans to give them a 3-0 lead.
Indiana had an opportunity in the top of the second after Gogreve and Reese singled. Kelsey Brannon hit a ball to MSU's McKinzie Freimuth who opted to throw to third for the force out. The lead runner was ruled safe on the play when Jayme O'Bryant pulled her foot off the bag, giving the Hoosiers a bases loaded situation with one out, but a strike out and a fly out would strand three as the game continued on into the third.
Another two-out IU error helped the Spartans to two more runs in the third inning. After the Indiana miscue, Jenny Ramsaier singled to center field to put runners at first and second base. Bother runners advanced on a passed ball and eventually scored on a double to left center to put Michigan State ahead, 5-0.
The following 10 batters for Indiana were retired in order, bringing the game to the top of the seventh with one out. Gogreve gave the Hoosiers some life with her one-out single back up the middle, but a ground out a strikeout ended the game.
Indiana will see the Spartans again tomorrow, March 30, for a single game slated for 1 p.m. EST.

My spouse Richard Stumbar was one of the lead attorneys in the attempt to legalise gay marriage in New York State in 2008. I have a long history with Russian feminisms that date back to the early 1990's in the East/West initiative to have women dialog across these borders.
The day we left for Russia, right wing Republicans held the US hostage to their punishing agenda against "Obamacare". And we were traveling to Vladimir Putin's Russia, which had recently halted adoptions by gay and lesbian couples, and enacted new laws supposedly "protecting" children from gay indoctrination, and had, in early 2012, imprisoned two of the women of the rock band Pussy Riot for "hooliganism".

Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics are to be held soon in Russia; poverty continues to escalate in the countryside while a massive commercial extravaganza in and around Sochi, the site of the games, is underway; and gay activists from outside Russia discuss whether they should boycott the games.
And for further context let us not forget the whistle blower Edward Snowden who sought asylum and won it in this land of draconian sex laws. Whistle-blower Chelsea Manning, now a trans-woman, would probably have little chance of gaining similar asylum status, if she were able to ask for it.
To top off this messy political mix of all things we have Putin's justifiable criticism of the US and President Barack Obama for an arrogant sense of "exceptionalism", especially in terms of US threats to bomb Syria for their use of chemical weapons. The world is looking complexly differently-similar everywhere. Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin, and Alexandra Kollantai seem to have been forgotten, if they have ever been acknowledged in post-perestroika Russia. We looked for some simple signs of Luxemburg, famous for her 1917 statement: "Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters", and found none.
We trudged across town to the Finland Railway Station to find a forgotten and lonely statue of Lenin. Even the tourist-consumer culture in the flea markets seemed to have no historical memory. No t-shirts for Pussy Riot were to be found. Network of East-West Women. This group of women was made up of people from all over the former Soviet Union in their newly configured countries and parts of Eastern Europe along with women from throughout the United States. Our purpose was to dialog and to find commonalities and differences in our understanding of feminism and women's needs and rights.

She writes of her incarceration in the gulag-style prison, that fear and intimidation are continually used to regulate, discipline and shame. Fellow prisoners become the enforcers of the inhumanity. Anyone showing a bit of determination and self-respect is beaten down – both physically and mentally. Worst of all is the punishment of those who have shown Nadezhda any sign of kindness or friendship, "It hurt me that people I cared about were forced to suffer," she writes. has suspended her request for early release, in support of Tolokonnikova. Both are scheduled for release in February after serving their two-year jail term.
The feminists we spoke with in St Petersburg said that Pussy Riot was never given its due by the Russian mainstream media. They were treated like flighty girls who needed to be reprimanded, and as Putin says, got what they deserved. Feminists and activists committed to democracy in Russia demonstrated on their behalf, both inside and outside of Russia. In some international feminist circles Pussy Riot has become a keen cause and maybe more visible outside, than inside parts of Russia.

Keep Pussy Riot in mind as I try to negotiate the political streams of thought that surround them and activists inside Russia. Putin's newest form of nationalism appears to negate and silence socialism, communism and Western democracy. He uses anti-feminist and homophobic discourses to express his newest form of traditional patriarchal nationalism. The Holy Father of the Russian Orthodox Church covers for the state-corporate cronyism of Putin.
The Sochi Olympic Games bespeak Putin's lawlessness, corruption, and incompetence. Originally the Games were estimated to cost $12bn and are estimated to rise to $50bn. Much of the problem is the location itself. Sochi is one of the warmest places in Russia at almost 13C when the Games are to begin. Anywhere else would have made more sense for the winter Olympics. But Putin's friends, especially the Rotenberg Brothers – an Energy and Construction Company – have made out like bandits. New roads and gas lines have been the greatest expense. One Billion Rising for Justice will do on V-Day, February 14, 2014, in over 200 countries.

The princess needs Obi-Wan's help in fighting the evil Empire for fear that all will be lost... This is where we are two games short of the halfway point of the regular season. Only in this version, 76ers fans are making the entreaty and Andrew Bynum is the savior.

Top message: anyone know, how to overclock thunderbolt on lightning rom3.3? by HzD incredible
Replying to: Sooooo by hobble
Re: Sooooo
I found out that you have to have a custom kernel installed that is able to work with whichever ROM you are using, and is an overclock kernel. Then you can use CPU overclock app to set it higher. without the kernel only lets you set the speed to 1ghz max.

Geek Friday: Circumventing the Advertisers Via HOSTS File
When you type the name of a site into the address bar of your favorite browser, Windows tries to find the numerical address that the name points to. When it finds the numerical address, it will then send a request to that address for the page being sought. If the name cannot be translated, the browser will give the "sever not found" error message.
Normally, site names are looked up using a Domain Name Service (DNS) server that keeps a table of these name-address translations. If the entry is too old or if the name hasn't been looked up previously, it will ask further up the line until a match is found or it is determined that a match does not exist. If a match is found, the address is cached on the server for future retrievals for whatever time limit is set by the server administrator. The numerical address is then returned to the client requesting the lookup.
However, a computer may attach to other servers or computers on its local area network (LAN) that are not in the DNS system. Usually this is because no one outside of the LAN is expected to try to communicate with those machines. In fact, such communication may not even be desired. There are a few ways to deal with this situation, but one method is to use the local machine's HOSTS file. Windows will first do any lookups using this file before doing a DNS query.
There may be other reasons to use a HOSTS file, but most of those reasons are obsolete and can have negative consequences. An entry in a HOSTS file assumes that the address will never change, but in reality addresses on the Internet change all the time for various reasons. That is why a DNS server will rarely take more than 48 hours to expire a particular entry from its cache. The larger servers will expire much more frequently than that.
One effect of a HOSTS file can be redirecting browsers to other servers than what the DNS server would return. Malware can use this to redirect surfers to servers that host more malware or to sites that illegitimately count as hits for ads. However, this same effect can be used to redirect sites that serve up ads, banners, tracking cookies and more back to the local machine.
The universal IP address for "localhost" is 127.0.0.1. By putting these unwanted sites into the HOSTS file and redirecting them to 127.0.0.1, they are then pointing to the localhost machine rather than their real site. This prevents the loading of the ads, banners, etc.
The MVPS HOSTS file is the most comprehensive one of its kind, and it is available for free (however a donation for their effort would be a good idea). The site is full of information about how it works and how to install the HOSTS file. In addition, it is updated on a regular basis (which means you need to check regularly or sign up to get notified).

Ten lessons from the Malaysian GP
What Lewis really said, and how to pronounce 'Kyvat': what we learned in Sepang
Posted: 31 Mar 2014
7. Button was a very unhappy man despite finishing sixth. At least he'll be relieved to have finished ahead of teammate Kevin Magnussen, who is reportedly still cross with himself for running into Kimi Raikkonen on lap one.
Ron Dennis said the MP4-29 would be half a second faster in Sepang over Melbourne. It wasn't. Jenson has been here with McLaren before. If Ron Dennis wants to turn around that team, it's going to need to rediscover the art of in-season development, something it's not really had since it was stopped from throwing huge amounts of money at in-season testing.
