There is an instant animosity between West and faculty member Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale). Hill's theory of brain death bears a remarkable resemblance to that of West's mentor, Dr. Hans Gruber (Al Berry), a professor in Zürich. In the opening scene, West brings this dead professor back to life with horrific side-effects; a result, as West explains, of having given Gruber an overdose of his re-agent. Undaunted, West continues his personal research at Miskatonic, soon re-animating Dan's dead cat, Rufus. Upon Dan's discovery of this, West quickly recruits him as his partner.
Soon the two sneak into the morgue to test the re-agent on a human subject. The corpse revives and goes on a rampage, attacking both West and Cain before escaping into the autopsy room. Dean Halsey stumbles upon the scene and, despite attempts by both West and Cain to save him, is brutally killed by the re-animated corpse. Armed with a bone saw, West finally manages to dispatch that which he's only just brought back to life. Hardly fazed by the violence and excited at the prospect of a fresh dead subject to work with, West injects Halsey with the re-agent. Halsey returns to life, but in a zombie-like state.
Dr. Hill discovers West's work, imprisons and eventually lobotomizes Halsey, while forcing West to continue the research so that Hill can take credit for the serum's discovery. West kills Hill, decapitating him with a shovel, then re-animates both his head and body. Hill knocks out West and escapes, carrying his head, stealing the serum and sending the lobotomized Halsey out to kidnap Megan.
Cain and West track Halsey to the morgue where they find Hill molesting a restrained Megan. Cain frees Megan while West distracts Hill. Hill reveals that he has re-animated and lobotomized several corpses so they will do his bidding. However, Megan manages to get through to her lobotomized father, who fights off the corpses long enough for Cain and Megan to escape. In the ensuing chaos, Halsey is torn to pieces by the other corpses and West injects Hill's body with what he believes is a lethal overdose of the serum. Hill's body takes on a horribly monstrous new form and attacks West, who screams out to Cain to save his work before he continues fighting with Hill. West appears in the next sequel, but it is unclear on how the fight ended.
As Dan and Megan run from the morgue, Megan is attacked by one of the re-animated corpses and killed. Dan takes her to the hospital emergency room but is unable to revive her. He injects her with West's serum. Just after the scene fades to black, Megan screams.
Originally, Gordon was going to adapt Lovecraft's story for the stage but then writers Dennis Paoli and William Norris and Gordon decided to do it as a half-hour television pilot. The story was set around the turn of the century and they realized that it would be too expensive to recreate. They updated it to the present day in Chicago with the intention of using actors from the Organic Theater company. They were told that the half hour format was not salable and so they made it an hour, writing 13 episodes. Special effects Bob Greenberg, who had worked on John Carpenter's Dark Star, repeatedly told Gordon that the only market for horror was in feature films and introduced him to producer Brian Yuzna. Gordon showed Yuzna the script for the pilot and the 12 additional episodes. The producer liked what he read and convinced Gordon to shoot the film in Hollywood because of all the special effects involved. Yuzna made a distribution deal with Charles Band's Empire Pictures in return for post-production services.
Yuzna described the film as having the "sort of shock sensibility of an Evil Dead with the production values of, hopefully, The Howling". John Naulin worked on the film's gruesome makeup effects and worked from what he described as "disgusting shots brought out from the Cook County morgue of all kinds of different lividities and different corpses". He and Gordon also used a book of forensic pathology in order to present how a corpse looks once the blood settles in the body creating a variety of odd skin tones. Naulin said that Re-Animator was the bloodiest film he had ever worked on. In the past, he never used more than two gallons of blood on a film. On Re-Animator, he used 24 gallons of blood.
The biggest makeup challenge in the film was the headless Dr. Hill zombie. Tony Doublin designed the mechanical effects and was faced with the problem of proportion once the 9-10 inches of the head were removed from the body. Each scene forced him to use a different technique. For example, one technique involved building an upper torso that actor David Gale could bend over and stick his head through so that it appeared to be the one that the walking corpse was carrying around.
It was well-received by critics, earning mostly positive reviews with a 92% rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "I walked out somewhat surprised and reinvigorated (if not re-animated) by a movie that had the audience emitting taxi whistles and wild goat cries". In her review for the New York Times, Janet Maslin wrote, "Re-Animator has a fast pace and a good deal of grisly vitality. It even has a sense of humor, albeit one that would be lost on 99.9 percent of any ordinary moviegoing crowd". Paul Attanasio, in his review for the Washington Post, praised Jeffrey Combs' performance: "Beady-eyed, his face hard, almost lacquered, Combs makes West into a brittle, slightly fey psychotic in the Anthony Perkins mold. West is a figure of fun, but Combs doesn't spoof him". In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Thomas wrote, "The big noise is Combs, a small, compact man of terrific intensity and concentration".
The film was ranked #14 on Entertainment Weekly magazine's "The Cult 25: The Essential Left-Field Movie Hits Since '83" list.
Stuart Gordon has been quoted on several occasions as expressing a desire to make a fourth installment in the series, entitled House of Re-Animator; this film would, he claims, be a political satire wherein West moves into the White House and re-animates the deceased Vice President. In May 2006, producer Brian Yuzna told Fangoria magazine that the film was indeed being made. Yuzna expressed his desire for a large budget in order to hire well known supporting actors, such as William H. Macy, for the film. In addition to House of Re-Animator, Yuzna hopes to film two additional sequels in order to form a second trilogy.
Recently further information was revealed on Yuzna's website. The three new films have working titles House of Re-Animator, Re-Animator Unbound and Re-Animator Begins.

Scaling relations and design concepts are developed for commercial tokamak reactors that use water-cooled copper toroidal field (TF) magnets. Illustrative parameters are developed for reactors that are scaled up in size from LITE test reactor designs, which use quasi-continuous copper plate magnets. Acceptably low magnet power requirements may be attainable in a moderate beta (β = 0.065) commercial reactor with a major radius of 6.2 m. The shielding thickness and magnet size are substantially reduced relative to values in commercial reactors with superconducting magnets. Operation at high beta (β = 0.14) leads to a reduction in reactor size, magnet-stored energy, and recirculating power. Reactors using resistive TF magnets could provide advantages of physically smaller devices, improved maintenance features, and increased rugged-ness and reliability.

Anyways, after all the care I gave it, it turned into a simasimatchi! So cute :3 Well worth the effort.
Yaaay! Hopefully I get Carl a nice job.

Because the football rivalry in Alabama is like a blood feud by other means, just about everybody picks a side. A kid who moves into the state is bullied into making a choice and then later bullies others to do the same. For most, the allegiance is part of a long family tradition, a history. Others independently find their following. David Housel, a former Auburn athletic director who showed me around the campus, went to his first football game at the age of ten, the 1956 Alabama-Auburn match-up. Back home, he wrote the two schools asking for information about their programs. Auburn sent him a media guide with a handwritten note thanking him for his interest. Alabama sent a media guide and a bill for $2. "Alabama got my $2," Housel said. "Auburn my heart." Engraved into his wedding ring are expressions of love for his wife and also the initials BB, for Beat Bama.
Because of a diabetic wound to his foot, Housel conducted my tour of the school from his Chevy Traverse, the radio tuned to a SiriusXM oldies station. Housel was a preeminent scholar of all things Auburn, the author of (by his count) five or six books on the school. He drove me past the train tracks students in 1898 had pig-greased to send a visiting Georgia Tech team skidding two miles beyond the Auburn stop. He pulled over at one point to introduce me to Johnny Valentine, a guard on teams in the late Sixties, who was in town from Florida for Saturday's "A-Day Game," the annual intra-squad scrimmage that caps the spring practice season. Valentine, Housel said by way of introduction, played on the 1969 team that scored the most points ever against Bryant. Indeed, Bear Bryant so dominated Auburn, winning nineteen times in 25 years, that the Tiger faithful often resort to chalking up isolated achievements and moral victories. "If you take out the Bryant years—and I know you can't—we actually lead the series," Housel reflected.
Housel felt last year's Iron Bowl was magical, as was the annual face-off in 1982 when Bo Jackson leapt into the end zone on fourth down with just minutes to go. But for him the single greatest moment in Auburn history occurred in 1989, when the team played its first home game against the Tide. Up to that point, Alabama would not deign to compete in Auburn, and the Iron Bowl was held in Birmingham, supposedly a neutral site. But with Bama hosting some of its other games there and a bust of Bryant outside the stadium, Housel said, it was "about as neutral as the beaches of Normandy on D-Day." Housel chewed over with disgust what it meant for another school to dictate where you play, to treat you second-class, the inequality in it. Auburn won the big game 30-20, but even more importantly, Housel asserted, "We insisted on our rights."
As we made our way to Toomer's Corner, Housel said there was just something more spiritual about Auburn. "The Auburn spirit is the human spirit, the American spirit. It's deeper than football." Alabama, on the other hand, was consumed with the end of the journey, with winning, so much so that they counted among their thirteen national titles those years before the advent, in 1998, of the bowl championship game when even a single piddly poll named them the top school. If Auburn used the same math, Housel figured, they could claim like eight or nine titles themselves. Other broad-stroke differences between the schools had disappeared over time. Auburn had caught up athletically and academically. Housel said the schools were now like two old Greek city-states that are pretty much alike but swear their way of life is better. Still, Housel reckoned he'd "rather be an ag school than a law school. When you eat your supper tonight," he told me, "you can bet Auburn had something to do with it. A country that can't feed its people can't be free."
On my way from Auburn to Tuscaloosa, I drove into the eye of a tornado. Not the figurative one of the rivalry but an actual one that tore through the town just as I arrived on campus. This wasn't the mile-wide behemoth that ravaged a sixth of the city two weeks later, killing thirty-six. In the wake of that disaster, Auburn fans created a nonprofit called Toomer's for Tuscaloosa, which sent hundreds of people and tens of thousands of dollars to aid what previously had been thought of as enemy territory. Gina Smith, of Tide for Toomer's, said of this further sign of goodwill, "I believe Alabama football will serve as a stronger rallying point than ever this season. Much like the Saints after Katrina, the Crimson Tide has the potential to help heal the wounds of the city and the state."
As sirens blared and warning lights blinkered, I took refuge inside the Bear Bryant Museum, where staff quickly shuttled me into a windowless research room. While waiting out the storm, I spoke with Ken Gaddy, the museum's director. Gaddy had previously helped run the Natural History Museum on campus, but in 1991 he ascended to school football history. He talked about the winning tradition at Alabama and its larger cultural significance. The region had languished long after Reconstruction, with night riders wreaking havoc, people dying from an array of treatable illnesses. So when a group of fresh-faced Tuscaloosa boys traveled to California in 1926 and beat the University of Washington in the Rose Bowl, the victory was shared across the South. On the train ride home through Dixie, crowds and brass bands greeted the team at every depot. A thousand people thronged the station in New Orleans. A generation later, in a decade when Alabama was internationally maligned for its segregationist policies and brutal attacks on protesters, the school won three national championships. Not all causes in the South were lost.
The following afternoon, the skies were clear for the Crimson Tide's own spring intra-squad scrimmage. On the "Walk of Champions" outside Bryant-Denny Stadium, a Nick Saban statue was unveiled, everyone struggling to take a snapshot smiling beside the bronze folds of the giant sculpture's crotch. "Sweet Home Alabama" burst from loudspeakers too many times to count. The real Nick Saban—no Bryant second-coming but nevertheless the apotheosis of today's CEO-salaried, NFL-style collegiate coach—stood on the field ten yards behind his offenses. Quarterbacks were touched to end plays, and after every first down the announcer's call was met with a thunderous Roooll Tide! Returning players interviewed throughout the stadium Roll Tided their interlocutors as greeting and farewell, people in the stands shouted it loud and long as existential exultation, and it was yowled as a call to battle, a solemn acknowledgement, and a playful rebuke.
Little more than a glorified practice, the day's contest attracted 92,000 spectators and was broadcast by ESPN. (Downstate, Auburn's scrimmage drew only 53,000.) Because it was free, an unusually large percentage of the fans in attendance were sidewalk alums, those who didn't necessarily have the connections or resources to secure regular-season tickets. There were still the towheaded boys in white suits and bowties, the girls looking like wine candy in sleeveless pink dresses, and the mothers and daughters wearing matching sorority pins. But this was a day for the T-shirt-and-ballcap set. High walls of black plastic sheeting surrounded the perimeters of the fraternity houses, apparently to control entry into daylong luaus. Not far from the statues of Bryant, Saban and the other Bama luminaries, a compact twenty-year-old stumbled past a booth selling semi-abstract paintings of the Tide's elephant mascot. The young man accidentally or on purpose dumped his beer on an original print, and University and Tuscaloosa police were instantly around him, bumping him chest to face, their hands quivering above batons. The art dealer said the print cost $175 but he'd rather the guy be locked up. The beer-spiller lolled about as if balancing atop a football. "I don't got it," he said. His father was there, a bearded man of fifty. "Pay him the money, A. J.," he wailed. "You want to buy the picture or go to jail? I'll lend you the money." A. J.'s dad turned his pleadings to the authorities. "How much did you say it was? $175? Oh God!" He then wheedled and begged for a different outcome. But the proprietor reluctantly sold, and A. J. and his crew walked off, the unhappy owners of a $175 print of a speckled, football-carrying elephant.

Clinical Research Associates may progress into high-paying roles like Clinical Trial Manager, where median compensation is $95K annually. Senior Clinical Research Associates or Pharmaceutical Project Managers are common next-step roles for Clinical Research Associates moving up in their careers; annual pay for Senior Clinical Research Associates is $29K higher on average, and it's $22K higher for Pharmaceutical Project Managers.
Clinical Research Associates fill the offices of leading firms Pharmaceutical Product Development (PPD), Inc, Quintiles, Inc., Covance, Inc, Icon Clinical Research Inc, and Medpace, Inc. The biggest paychecks can be found at St. Jude Medical, Inc. — the median salary there is $79K. PRA International, Quintiles Transnational Corp, and Pharmaceutical Product Development (PPD), Inc are a few other companies that offer generous salaries, with Clinical Research Associates earning around $73K, $71K, or $70K at each firm, respectively.
Medpace, Inc. offers the least pay with a median salary of $55K; furthermore, salaries there max out at only $71K. Icon Clinical Research Inc, Quintiles, Inc., and Parexel International Corp also scrape the bottom of the pay scale, with median earnings hovering around $61K, $62K, and $66K.
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in Oncology, Regulatory Compliance, Project Management, and Clinical Research are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Data Analysis. Most people familiar with Clinical Research also know Data Analysis and Project Management. Skill sets containing Regulatory Compliance also tend to include Project Management and Data Analysis.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Clinical Research Associates with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Folks with fewer than five years of experience take home $58K on average, and those who have worked for five to 10 years see a bigger median salary of $66K. Clinical Research Associates with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $71K. Veterans who have acquired more than 20 years report a median income of $85K, which is generally higher than the pay reported by other tenure groups.
San Francisco offers some of the highest pay in the country for Clinical Research Associates, 22 percent above the national average. Clinical Research Associates will also find cushy salaries in Dallas (+21 percent), Minneapolis (+19 percent), Houston (+16 percent), and San Diego (+5 percent). Cincinnati is the lowest-paying area, 15 percent south of the national average. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include New York and Chicago (7 percent lower).

The Laban Sourcebook
Routledge – 2011 – 376 pages
Rudolf Laban (1879 – 1958) was a pioneer in dance and movement, who found an extraordinary range of application for his ideas; from industry to drama, education and therapy.

This book draws on archival research in England and Germany to chart the development of Laban's groundbreaking ideas through a variety of documents, including letters, articles, transcripts of interviews, and his unpublished Effort and Recovery. It covers:
Each extract has a short preface providing contextual background, and highlighting and explaining key terms. Passages have been selected and are introduced by many of the world's leading Laban scholars.

October 24 On to Saltillo
Im going in the general direction of San Miguel de Allende where Id like to spend 2 or 3 days. Not a lot of options to get there the direct route looks boring. Decided to go by way of Real de Catorce which is supposed to be a cool town on a mountain top and a place I've wanted to go to anyhow.
To summarize the riding today . . . flat, straight, cuotas, trucks. Spent about $450p ($35) in tolls . . . The Libres were essentially running parallel to the cuota and I was on them for awhile then got back on the Cuota as I had left Parral late not realizing I would lose an hour moving to the next time zone. I didnt want to be wandering around Saltillo in the dark.
Came across a Mexican prison dont see many around I guess not as many as I would expect a lower percentage of criminals go to jail . . . Not a great picture as I didnt want to be overly obvious and end up in there myself.
The gas situation proved to be interesting today also. Riding at 100 -125 kph for most of the day with some decent winds at times and my mileage plummeted. I was expecting to fill up at one station in the middle of nowhere and arrive with about 30km of fuel left to find they are completely out of gas all the pump jockeys sitting around doing nothing. Next gas is about 110 km. There is a station about 5km in a small town but they were out of gas also. So, in goes my spare gas and off we go.
Coming into Saltillo, I expected a station about 60 km from town but never saw it. Was gunning for the first station in town when I came across one about 10km out. Took 16.1 litres . . . my tank holds 16 litres. Im thinking I would have had to dip into the spare gas again had I not come across this station at that moment.
Interesting terrain kind of a high desert. Mostly 4-5,000 feet varied between sand and cactus and agriculture. Had to get through the large city of Torreon but the ring roads do a pretty good job of getting through with only minimal drama. Still dont like cities.
Had decided to go to Hotel Rancho el Morilllo in the City of Saltillo based on some recommendations. Supposed to be a nice place located out of the downtown area. However, my GPS and the genius operating it took me off the perfectly good ring road and dragged me through the middle of town anyway because I guess that seemed to be shorter. Oh well.
The lady checking me in showed me my room and then said I could park in front of it. Had to take my bags off to get around the corners but made it through. First had to make a hard right through this gate.
Then down this long sidewalk
Around this corner to the left
Then down these sidewalks to in front of the far window
And, there she is, hiding. My room is right behind the purple flowers.
Had to take my bags off to get around the corners. Going in, the angles worked just right but going out, that last corner with the gate just wouldnt make it. So, I just dragged the ass end over about 2 inches and I was good to go.
Hotel turns out to be quite nice. Older place with beautiful grounds. Owner Norma is a great lady. She is the third generation operating the hotel and restaurant and the family has done a great job of keeping it well maintained and very comfortable. They have only 14 rooms so the place isnt a madhouse.

Audubon was making an impact long before the establishment of Audubon California in 1996. Check out the slideshow below for a quick overview (click on the arrows to advance the slides):
A movement is born
One of these conservationists was George Bird Grinnell, who as a young man had a fascination with the work of John James Audubon. As the editor of Forest and Stream Magazine, he in 1886 called for the formation of an Audubon Society "for the protection of wild birds and their eggs."
California is part of second wave
Grinnell's original Audubon Society was short-lived however, and the trade in bird feathers continued to grow. But he had been on to something. Starting in Massachusetts in 1896, other Audubon groups began to spring up around the country, 1898, the first chapter in California was founded.
Protecting birds in the Klamath
Even before the National Audubon Society formed in 1905, the movement enlisted noted photographer/naturalist William Finley to promote bird conservation out West. Finley worked with Theodore Roosevelt to create the first wildlife refuge in the Lower Klamath on the California/Oregon border.
California as Audubon bastion
California quickly became a major stronghold for the National Audubon Society, prompting it to build its second nature center there in 1939, the Audubon Center of Southern California. The center is now run by the County of Los Angeles, and is called the Whittier Narrows Nature Center.
Saving the California Condor
As the California Condor dropped further toward extinction in the 1970s, Audubon pushed the federal government to take action. Audubon was co-leader of the team that caught the last remaining condors for captive breeding, and continues to work on behalf of the bird today.
Audubon California is born
Audubon California was established in 1996 as a field program of the National Audubon Society, overseeing the organization's properties and leading conservation efforts. With a wide array of ambitious programs, Audubon California is a force for conservation along the entire Pacific Flyway.

falls off the balcony. No hesitation : she plunges, finally catches the bottle
as she lands on the soft surface of a van melting - and eagerly drinks it.

Pharrell fans not happy with Elle UK headdress cover photo
By John Boyd | June 4, 2014 | Updated: June 4, 2014 4:44pm
Rapper Pharrell Williams is the latest victim of a magazine cover controversy following this July 2014 cover for Elle, which shows the entertainer wearing a Native American headdress.
Check out these other magazine covers that, for good or bad, will live on in infamy.
Photo By TimeThe most memorable magazine covers everThe powerful cover shot was taken by amateur photographer and 26-year-old west Baltimore resident Devon Allen. Text on the cover suggests not much has changed since the civil rights movement started in 1968.See more memorable, and sometimes contentious, magazine covers ...
Photo By NewsweekSome critics found this Feb. 6, 2015 cover of Newsweek sexist. The accompanying article detailed the exclusionary culture of California's tech industry.Of the industry it attempts to investigate, the cover "the cover leers at women, too, featuring a hapless woman with a giant cursor lifting and peeking under her skirt," according to Today."Clickbait, designed to piss off women while pretending to investigate sexism in tech. Fail--but you know it," said media critic Jennifer L. Pozner on Twitter. She was one of many critics – professional or otherwise; male and female – to fire back at Newsweek online."A great cover sells a story," tweeted Goldie Taylor. "It doesn't undercut its credibility."
Photo By Time Magazine
Transgender actress Laverne Cox ("Orange is the New Black") is featured in a Time Magazine cover story about transgender civil rights. The feature came just months after some readers complained that Cox had been conspicuously left off the magazine's most influential people list.
Photo By Mark SeligerJulia Louis-Dreyfus is wearing absolutely nothing but the immortal words of America's founding fathers on the cover of the next issue of Rolling Stone, which hits newsstands Friday, April 11.But notice something wrong?That John Hancock signature on the small of her back is on the wrong historical document.Check out these other infamous magazine cover designs that drew attention for the wrong reasons.
After Elle magazine was heavily criticized last week for covering its plus-sized cover model in an oversized coat, Melissa McCarthy has defended the magazine. She told Eonline.com that she chose the coat herself.
Rolling Stone created an internet firestorm when the cover of it's August 1, 2013 leaked, showing what many called "rock star treatment" for alleged Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
For many, the August 1, 2013 Rolling Stone cover called to mind this iconic cover image of the late Doors frontman Jim Morrison published a decade after his death.
For some, this cover was controversial for the seemingly older age of the boy breastfeeding in the photo. Others were bothered by the insinuation that there was anything wrong with that. Others just thought it showed a little too much skin.
Critics said this silhouette of "Sesame Street" characters Bert and Ernie cuddling in the dark as they watch the Supreme Court's ruling on Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act sexualized a show meant for kids.
Muhammad Ali's depiction of the martyred St. Sebastian on the April 1968 cover of Esquire has become one of the most well-known and spoofed covers in magazine history. Ali had converted to Islam the prior year.
National Lampoon's tongue-in-cheek, gun-against-cheek plea for readers did not please animal lovers.
Demi Moore's iconic Vanity Fair pregnancy cover was controversial at the time, but since has been spoofed and redone by so many celebs and magazines the pose is borderline cliche.
Celebrities coming out on magazine covers is cliche now, but it was groundbreaking when Ellen DeGeneres originally did it for Time.
Time got caught doctoring then-accused killer O.J. Simpson's jail booking photo to make his skin look darker.
Time Magazine declares Adolf Hitler its "Man of the Year" in this pre-World War II issue from 1939.
Nude Rolling Stone covers often spark controversy. This one showed too much skin for it's intended youth audience, many critics alleged.
Rolling Stone's iconic cover of a nude John Lennon embracing wife Yoko showed the Beatle in a new light.
Critics allege the photographer of this cover photo was trying to paint Lebron James as a modern King Kong, standing with an aggressive pose and a damsel in his arms.
This posed shot of politician Michele Bachmann wasn't the most flattering pic, and many in the GOP felt it was intentionally chosen to make the former presidential candidate look deranged and aloof.
The New Yorker defended this cover as a commentary on the scare tactics they said many opponents used to attack the Obama candidacy in 2008.
Like with Michele Bachmann, GOP critics again complained that cover designers used an unflattering picture of Sarah Palin as a subtle means of undermining both the politician and the party.
Time was criticized for a similar close-up shot of Palin.
The lesser known American Spectator drew criticism for using the line "Sarah Palin's Rack" to promote an inside story about Palin's "rack" of accomplishments.
Blind Melon appeared nude on the November 1993 issue of Rolling Stone.
Time asks "Is God Dead?" Hell, no! was the response of many angered Christians.
Maybe he was just looking for a tryout with the Washington Redskins.
But whatever the reason Pharrell and his representatives OK'd the musician wearing a Native American headdress on the July cover of Elle U.K., they're surely regretting the decision now.
"You have no right to wear a headress [sic] that is so sacred to native people..Those headresses are earned and not worn to make a buck or draw attention," wrote Gail Lichtsinn, one of many fans to speak out against the cover on Pharrell's Facebook page.
" ... Your Elle cover is a total disappointment," added Facebook followeer Diana Marie. "As a person of color, I would have thought you'd have a better understanding. Cultural ignorance and disrespect apparently was not on your radar when you participated in this photo shoot."
Check out the cover above and give us your take: Cool or not cool? (By the way, the answer is "not cool.")

At Saturday night's Annie Awards, Glee's Darren Criss (Blaine) reunited with his Very Potter Musical co-star Joey Richter to talk all about their favorite cartoon stars.
And while the event was black tie, it clearly wasn't black pant.
"We are absolute fans," he said on stage Monday night. "I came in my pants!"
Then, the camera drifted down past his button down and suit jacket to his black and green Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle pajama pants… with his dress shoes.
"I came here in the sewer!" he added to prove his real obsession with TMNT. Also missing from the event? His hair gel! However, the Glee stud still looked flawless at the occasion.
"It's a pretty big night for us turtle nerds," Joey adds in the hilarious presentation by the old co-stars.
Today, Darren is celebrating his 26th birthday! So, is he kicking it back and watching TMNT? We'd have to guess t-t-t-totally dude.

- Magica Luna - lunar magic perfume and annointing oil blend
Product Description
Magica Luna - a rare oil created just for celebrations of the moon. This could include work you do around beginnings at the new moon each month, or celebrations of the full moon and rituals you do to honor completion, fullness, or abundance. It could be for simple moments when you're moon-gazing alone, or for work you do in spirit groups to balance feminine energies. It could be for when you just want to feel in a physical way the mysteries of the moon around you. I wear it when I want to do solitary work and yet not feel "alone" as for me, the moon is a constant reminder of the universe's bright companionship. I took great care when creating this blend to make sure it represented all that the moon reflects in us - our power, our subtlety, our movement, our stillness. The blend includes ylang ylang, an old-as-time oil that invokes ancient wisdom and connects us to our goddess selves. Ylang ylang dances with star fruit essence, which I made myself just for this blend. They are leveled out by sandalwood, myrrh, and at their base, a hint of lily of the valley. Because underneath her strength, the moon is delicate, like the tiniest flower blossom on Earth. And she reminds us of that each month in her waning phases. I guarantee you've never smelled anything like this before. It will dazzle you and enchant you. LIke the moon herself. You are purchasing the exact gorgeous glass bottle of oil pictured in the photo decorated with hand-dyed silk sari ribbon. Because to me, love is in the details. Please allow for slight variation in color and texture as I choose the most beautiful silk to hand-wrap each oil bottle as it's created. The oil glows green-blue like the night sky when dusk turns to evening. I am honored to help you manifest lunar magic, whether it's at the new moon, the full moon, or any waxing or waning time in between. It's my divine pleasure and my soul's delight.

Murphy went 3 for 4 with a double and two RBI. With the game all tied up at 3-3 in the fifth inning, Murphy doubled to left which brought in the two go-ahead runs.
Murphy is hitting .250 with 13 hits and five RBI in 52 at-bats this season.
Young, Pirela and Murphy will hit sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively.
Neither player is hitting well this year. Young is hitting .220, Pirela is batting .237 and Murphy has an average of .200.
Garrett Jones gets the start in right for the Yankees. He'll bat seventh in the order.
Catcher Brian McCann is also not in the lineup. JR Murphy will start and bat eighth.
The team announced the addition of catcher John Ryan Murphy and pitchers Preston Claiborn, Bryan Mitchell and Chase Whitley to the active roster.
Cervelli was activated from the 60-day DL after overcoming a hamstring strain that has kept him out since mid-April. His return pushed John Ryan Murphy to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Murphy hit .286/.308/.365 in 63 at-bats for the Yankees.
Murphy wasted no time, hitting a two-run single in his first at-bat. He added a solo home run in the fifth on a 90 mph fastball from Hector Santiago. Murphy finished the game 2 for 3, with one run and three RBI.
Murphy made 16 appearances with the Yankees last season, going 4 for 26 with one extra-base hit (a double) and one walk. He's 5 of 26 with three doubles and no walks with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
The move leaves Austin Romine and Francisco Cervelli to duke it out for the backup role at catcher, with Cervelli looking to be the odds-on favorite to win the job.
Murphy made his major league debut in 2013, appearing in 16 games with the Yankees and going 4 for 26 (.154) at the plate. He spent most the season in the minors, hitting .269 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI in 108 combined games with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Baseball America has Murphy ranked as the Yankees' No. 4 prospect for the 2014 season.
New York has added: Catcher J.R. Murphy; third baseman David Adams; reliever Brett Marshall; reliever Cesar Cabral and reliever Dellin Betances.
The 21-year-old drove in 16 runs with a .231 batting average in 43 outings with Trenton last season. He also has a .400 OBP and .515 slugging percentage this year.

An unusually snowy winter like this one may seem ideal for the car wash business, given all the salt-streaked cars it produces.
But local car wash owners say the weather hasn't been much of an advantage.
Some snow definitely helps business, explained Noah Levine, who owns Rapid Car Wash on Colman Street in New London, but there's a limit.
This winter, "there's just too much snow," he said Sunday. "Too much of a good thing."
"Customers are going to want to have three or four days of a clean car," said Levine. If bad weather is predicted and "they think it's going to last one day or until they get to the traffic light," drivers figure a wash isn't worth the cost.
Herbert Nyberg, who owns Colonial Car Wash in Norwich and in Niantic, agreed with Levine's assessment.
The day of a snowstorm and several days after are bad for business, said Nyberg, but on the third or fourth day the cars start to roll in.
He said the clustered snowstorms of early 2014 have impacted the demand for car washes because by the fourth day after a storm it's often snowing again.
February is usually one of the busier months, but Nyberg had to close because of bad weather several times this month, which has hurt his revenue. Adding to the problem, is that the bitter cold has also kept customers away even when it doesn't snow.
On a warm day after a snowfall, the line of cars at Rapid Car Wash sometimes stretches all the way to the street, said Levine's wife, Linda. But although they might get 500 customers on a day like that, it's often followed by a few days in which only the most loyal customers come in, so it averages out, she said.
Linda Levine said there are some people who will visit the car wash before a storm or even while it's snowing, but they are unusual - "faithful diehards," as she described them.
Stacie Girardin of Groton was one of dozens of customers who packed the Rapid Car Wash parking lot on Sunday afternoon, taking advantage of the sunnier weather to clean and vacuum her car.
Girardin said it was the first wash she'd given the minivan all winter, because there was no point in cleaning frequently with the continuous bad weather.
"I feel like I wash my car less" in the winter, agreed fellow customer Blaze Wiersch of New London, who said she will usually hold off if she knows more snow is coming.
But both Levine and Nyberg encourage people to wash during the winter, because the salt and other chemicals can damage vehicles.
Salt, which dissolves easily in water, is not difficult to rinse off cars, explained Levine.
"Cleaning the car in the winter is probably easier than doing it in the springtime," when bugs and pollen stick to the vehicle, he said.
But if salt is left sitting on the vehicle for days on end, cautioned Nyberg, it could mar the finish, so drivers should clean the car regularly. He said salt and dirt could also accelerate rusting on brake lines and other car components.
Additionally, the magnesium chloride the state uses in combination with salt can corrode the undercarriage of cars, so both Nyberg and Levine suggest getting an underwash to remove it.
A report on the Connecticut General Assembly's website acknowledges that magnesium chloride, which is only used when the temperature is below 25 degrees, can corrode vehicles, but said the chemical increases road safety.
The Department of Transportation encourages drivers to wash their vehicles, including the undercarriages, regularly during the winter, according to the report.

I'm sure you've seen the message board posts. Declarations like "well, the mechanics are OK but the story is great" or "the characters suck but I love the combat" are frequently dropped everywhere from NeoGAF to GameFAQs. Gamers have this tendency to turn games into mathematical equations, breaking them into lists of components like "presentation" and "mechanics" and judging each one on its own merits.
The problem with this attitude is that it ignores everything that makes Japanese role-playing games great. When you cut a JRPG into sections, it is resoundingly subpar. Books have better stories. Platformers have more engaging mechanics. Movies have much more elegant presentation.
So why do we play JRPGs? Because the good ones are better than the sum of their parts. A great JRPG captures that feeling of going on an unusual adventure, of bringing a ragtag group of heroes from famine to fortune or steering cold-hearted villagers away from indifference. A great JRPG lets you explore foreign worlds and see extraordinary sights. Maybe you'll overcome near-insurmountable odds to defeat a powerful enemy, or maybe you'll just play card games with college students. It's not the individual components that matter -- it's the overall experience.
Fans of the column might recall that I spent a little time replaying Phantasy Star IV last month and fell back in love with its pacing and charm. Last night I took another few hours and explored the world of Motavia some more, slaying oddly-named monsters and trying to figure out how my gang of weak scrubs would stop Zio, the invulnerable dark wizard who's been wreaking havoc and petrifying people all over the place.
I had a blast. Not because of the combat system, or the dialogue, or the art, or the sounds. Because of the adventure. Because I loved feeling like I was inside Motavia, exploring its villages and protecting its people. Because I wanted to see and hear and play everything.
But I imagine a GameFAQs message board post about the game would go something like this:
Graphics: Pixelated, ugly sprites. Can't even see their body proportions. Everything's 2-D. 0/10
Story: Weird aliens, magic. Also, I already know what's going to happen. 0/10
Gameplay: Menu-based combat? Eww. Don't know what spells like "Res" or "Wat" mean. 0/10
Music: Just a bunch of bleeps and bloops. 0/10
Replay Value: No DLC, no New Game+, limited sidequests. 0/10
This is an alarming mentality, and it's something we should take precautions to fight against. When gamers look at games not as overall experiences but as chimeric potpourris of sight and sound, we take too mechanical a perspective and ignore what really makes them special.
There's no formula for a great JRPG. It can star many types of heroes, from a cabal of modern Japanese high school students to a group of washed-up basketball players. Its combat system can be real-time, turn-based, or something in between. It can look like an action movie or an anime.
Some of a JRPG's components might be stunning; others might be heinous. Doesn't really matter. What matters is how the game makes you feel.

About Us
Creating a better future for the Central Valley
Our Mission
Our mission is to support activities and organizations that promote the economic, social and environmental well-being of the Central Valley.
What we do
The Great Valley Center (GVC) is focused on addressing critical challenges and improving the quality of life in California's Great Central Valley.
We work in multiple ways to engage and inform citizens, train local leaders, and deliver programs that respond directly to critical gaps in the Valley's communities. We are a champion and advocate for the Valley's well-being, seeking out ways to build partnerships and bring citizens together to address issues and disparities, encourage innovative solutions, build consensus and ensure a successful future for the region.
Looking ahead
August 2012 marked the fifteenth year of GVC's existence and efforts on behalf of the Central Valley. The GVC is heading into a period of transition, as we welcome Dr. Benjamin T. Duran as the new President and CEO for the organization. The GVC Board of Directors has determined that a primary focus of the Center should be on building civic capacity in the northern San Joaquin Valley.
The overall goal is to have an engaged, informed and connected citizenry that has the willingness, ability and tools to work in collaboration to solve the complex issues facing the Valley. Through the well-respected ALF – Great Valley Chapter, one of GVC's flagship initiatives, we are actively building a network of established community leaders who come together, across social, political, economic and cultural boundaries, to serve the public good.
Additionally, several of GVC's partnership programs respond directly to community needs and quality of life issues in our Valley. The Green Communities program provides greenhouse gas emissions assessments for local governments, encouraging these agencies to become leaders in energy efficiency and climate action. The California Connects program provides digital literacy training specifically targeted at helping Spanish speaking and low income citizens become users of the Internet, connecting them with a world of information, as well as educational and employment opportunities.
As we look ahead, the Great Valley Center remains committed to the well-being of the Central Valley. Through innovative programs, projects and initiatives, GVC continues to be a thoughtful and motivated organization that brings people together to work on the area's most difficult challenges and create a better future.
The Great Valley Center was founded in 1997. Initial support for GVC was made possible through a cooperative philanthropic effort by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, The James Irvine Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
Today the Great Valley Center continues to be supported by foundations, individuals and corporations who have an interest in improving the Central Valley's quality of life.
GVC's Board of Directors has adopted a policy of non-advocacy. Therefore, the Great Valley Center does not endorse candidates or ballot initiatives.

Impact of Voucher Design on Public School Performance: Evidence from Florida and Milwaukee Voucher Programs
|January 2008Number 315
|JEL classification: H40, I21, I28
Author: Rajashri Chakrabarti
This paper examines the impact of vouchers in general and voucher design in particular on public school performance. It argues that all voucher programs are not created equal. There are often fundamental differences in voucher designs that affect public school incentives differently and induce different responses from them. It analyzes two voucher programs in the United States. The 1990 Milwaukee experiment can be looked upon as a "voucher shock" program that suddenly made low-income students eligible for vouchers. The 1999 Florida program can be looked upon as a "threat of voucher" program, in which schools getting an "F" grade for the first time are exposed to the threat of vouchers, but do not face vouchers unless and until they get a second "F" within the next three years. In the context of a formal theoretical model, the study argues that the threatened public schools will unambiguously improve under the Florida-type program, and this improvement will exceed that under the Milwaukee-type program. Using school-level scores from Florida and Wisconsin and a difference-in-differences estimation strategy in trends, it then shows that these predictions are validated empirically. These findings are reasonably robust in that they survive sensitivity checks including correcting for mean reversion and a regression discontinuity analysis.

Hertha Berlin have reached an agreement with Turkish club Eskisehirspor for the long-time assistant of Michael Skibbe, Edwin Boekamp, to join him at the Bundesliga club.
Skibbe took over as coach of Hertha just before Christmas, replacing Markus Babbel who was relieved of his duties following the club's final Bundesliga fixture of 2011.
A fee was agreed between Berlin and Eskisehirspor for Skibbe's release, but the two clubs have only now reached an agreement for Boekamp to follow Skibbe to the German capital.
"I am really looking forward to being able to work with Michael Skibbe in Berlin over the coming years," said Boekamp on Hertha's website.
Boekamp was Skibbe's right-hand man at Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray, Eintracht Frankfurt and Eskisehirspor.
