Financial Times reports that Google will no longer use Windows internally because of security concerns.
"The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google's Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally. New hires are now given the option of using Apple's Mac computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. Employees wanting to stay on Windows required clearance from 'quite senior levels,' one employee said. 'Getting a new Windows machine now requires CIO approval,' said another employee."
In January, Google explained that "in mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google". The attacks used an Internet Explorer vulnerability and Microsoft said that they mostly targeted Internet Explorer 6.
It's strange to see that a cyber attack was one of the main reasons for closing Google's Chinese search engine and for no longer using Windows at Google. Most likely, Google intends to test Chrome OS internally and one of the most interesting things about Chrome OS is that it's very secure.

iMore Editors' Choice for September 30, 2012
Every week, the editors at iMore carefully select some of our favorite, most useful, most extraordinary apps, accessories, gadgets, and websites. This week's selections include an iPhone 5 case, an RPG game, a movie, and a popular photography app.
Gear4 Tread GT for iPhone 5 - Chris Oldroyd
I am really not one for cases on my iPhone, I usually just run them naked. This time however I have decided to put a case on my iPhone 5 purely down to all the scare mongering going around about chipped paint and dents in the back and the antenna band. The case I ended up selecting and to be fair there wasn't a great deal of choice, has really won me over and I actually like it.
The Gear4 Tread GT looks like it has been made from a car tire but is it is actually much more brittle than that and is not that rubbery either. Not being rubbery is really a good thing as you can slide it in and out of your pocket easily without it sticking. The case is well made and really looks very smart, all the cut outs are in the right place and it is a very good fit without adding lots of bulk to the slight iPhone 5. I can thoroughly recommend this case if you are looking for some minimal protection for your iPhone 5.

God of Blades - Simon Sage
God of Blades is a slight variation on the endless runner scheme. Instead of dodging obstacles, you charge into foes head-on, spinning, parrying, and slashing your way to the next. Though the gameplay is pretty straightforward (if reflex-driven) the story and setting are bound to rope you in. You play the role of the Nameless King, who has been risen from the dead to fight a timeless and barbaric foe. The King's people fight on in the background, but without help, they're doomed to galactic extinction. The story is epic in scope, mixing traditional fantasy elements with a surreal, awe-inspiring landscape. As you play, the Nameless King discovers new weapons to continue the good fight for his people. These blades all have their own legends and story which weave together and form an impressive historical tapestry. Give this one a shot if you're looking for a new kind of story in your usual hack-and-slashery.

The Avengers - Rene Ritchie
The Avengers are some of the most iconic, classical characters in comic books and Joss Whedon is one of the most iconic, modern writer-directors in Hollywood. Put them together and what do you get? Nearly two and a half hours of pure magic. Iron Man. Thor. Captain America. The Hulk. Black Widow. Hawkeye. Nick Fury. Whedon knows the characters well. As is his wont, he gets us to care about them, laugh with them, and then he tears them part in front of us.
The plot is clichéd, but this is a character piece, not a drama. It's about making Tony Stark understand sacrifice, Thor understand loss, Steve Rogers understand compromise, and Bruce Banner understand himself. The dialog is typical Whedon, smart and sassy, and the directing shows his confidence beyond the the confines of the small screen.
Juggling so many marquis characters is no easy task, and while the bigger guns get the bigger screen time, no one is entirely left out.
It's movie I've wanted to see since I was child, awed by the work of Lee and Kirby, Starlin and Perez, and more recently Miller and Hitch.
It's the Avengers, earth's mightiest heroes, writ upon the big screen. And I could watch it a hundred times over.

Instagram - Ally Kazmucha
I go through phases with Instagram and for some reason, forget it exists at times. Then I'll go through a picture taking phase and start using it again. Since it's been updated for the iPhone 5, I've been at it again and uploading more and more pictures.
The extra space on the iPhone 5 doesn't seem like much but when scrolling through tons of pictures it's appreciated. The fact that you can see a whole image and some comments without scrolling is a welcome addition. It'll be interesting to see how apps like Instagram will tailor their apps in the future to take advantage of the iPhone 5's additional screen real estate.
For now, the extra space is a welcome addition.

Maps have worked wonderfully for me. Travel everyday an have not have a mishap on any routes.
Did anyone here buy The Avengers HD on iTunes? I have an issue with my copy where all of the subtitles are doubled on the screen. You can't turn any of them off. Anyone else have this issue? The Apple discussions forums have a lot of people complaining about the same issue. I contacted Apple and I was refunded my $19.99, but I really want a corrected copy.
Does Apple ever released corrected copies of movies, like an app update?

Denon is bringing its HEOS multiroom system to your television with the new HomeCinema sound bar, which includes HDMI inputs.
While the AVR-S500BT is one of Denon's least expensive receivers, its features lineup is surprisingly generous, and movie and music sound quality is up to snuff for the price.
Denon's new wireless, multiroom audio platform will go head-to-head with Sonos and its growing list of competitors.
The three new S-Series receivers from Denon all pack built-in Bluetooth and HDMI 2.0, starting at a very competitive $250 entry-level price.
Denon's AVR-E400 embodies some progress in simplifying the arduous AV receiver setup process, but it lacks convenient wireless features you'd expect at this price.
While in design they may resemble a pair of jumbo hearing aids, the Denon AH-W150 Exercise Freaks are among the better wireless sports headphones available.
The Denon AH-C300 Urban Raver in-ear headphones deliver ample bass and will please hip-hop and rock fans with its lively dynamics and treble detailing.
The Denon AVR-1913 has a solid set of features and excellent sound quality, but competing AV receivers offer better value.
Pricing not available
Noise canceling and Bluetooth help the $499.99 Denon Globe Cruiser AH-NCW500 stand out, but other devices sound much better and cost less.
Denon announced its 2013 line of AV receiver, focusing on improving ease-of-use with new push-in speaker jacks and a guided setup assistant.

McGinnis: E3′s Coming Attractions: New titles announced at gaming eventWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
As the "Art of Video Games" exhibit opens at the Toledo Museum of Art, visitors will begin taking a trip back to the past, looking at gaming's history and the evolution of interactive entertainment. But for modern gamers, it's just as exciting to look ahead to the future — as symbolized by the yearly arrival of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
At this annual trade show, held this year beginning on June 10, companies discuss the new and exciting things on tap for their brands, platforms and more. And while updates on titles fans already knew about are welcome, the most exciting developments are when brand new games are unveiled to the world. Here are just a handful of titles announced at E3 that have gamers salivating:
"Bloodborne" (PS4) — From Software, the company that tormented gamers the world over with their devilishly hard "Demon's Souls" on PlayStation 3, returns with a "spiritual successor" placed in a Victorian setting. Dark and moody with exciting combat, the trailer wowed at Sony's press conference, though few additional details were to be had.
"Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker" (Wii U) — It's time for the fungus to take center stage. Announced at Nintendo's digital conference, "Captain Toad" is a puzzle/platforming game based on the minigames gamers found so charming in "Super Mario 3D World." Is the concept enough to carry a whole game?
"Dead Island 2″ (PS4/Xbox One/PC) — Okay, it's not really an "island" anymore. The new installment in the action/RPG series is set in California, which is about as land-locked as it gets. But the "Dead" part is still very accurate, as players will once more take up arms against an army of zombies and use their wits (and whatever weapons they can find) to survive.
"Halo: Master Chief Collection" (Xbox One) — Admittedly not a "new" game, but this is one of the most tempting deals E3 had to offer. A deluxe collection bringing together "Halo" 1, 2, 3 and 4, all upgraded to 1080p and 60 frames per second, and with all the classic multiplayer modes intact? For only $59.99? This might be hard to pass up.
"Inside" (Xbox One) — Indie developer Playdead creeped out and fascinated gamers the world over with its sleeper hit "Limbo." Now they're back with a new game that seems to keep the original's side-scrolling aesthetic while placing gamers in a more futuristic setting.
"The Legend of Zelda for Wii U" (well, Wii U. Duh.) — Details are few and far between for the latest adventure in Nintendo's iconic fantasy series, but a trailer shown to audiences at E3 was enough to get most players excited. It seemed to hint at a far more open world to explore than in past games, leading many to wonder if the new "Zelda" is the kind of system-selling title the Wii U needs.
"Little Big Planet 3″ (PS4/PS3) — One of Sony's deepest and most adorable gaming franchises returns with a new installment. In an onstage demo, new developers Sumo Digital revealed that original character Sackboy will be accompanied by several new playable characters, and that all the levels made by gamers for "LBP" 1 and 2 will still be playable on the new game.
"Let It Die" (PS4) — One of the most enigmatic and popular gaming designers in the world goes by the name Suda 51, and it generated a ton of excitement when Sony announced his latest game would be a PS4 exclusive. Details are elusive, but we now know the game will be free-to-play, with all the hyper-violence and unique settings fans expect from a Suda 51 title.
"Mario Maker" (Wii U) — Perhaps the most intriguing title announced by Nintendo was this platform-creator, where gamers are given the chance to craft their own Mario levels, "Little Big Planet"-style, using original art assets from games throughout the beloved plumber's past.
"Mirror's Edge 2″ (PS4/Xbox One/PC) — The original "Mirror's Edge" was a cult hit last generation, so anticipation was high for the follow-up, which is not a sequel so much as a prequel/reboot/whatever. It apparently isn't being called "2," either, but just "Mirror's Edge," adding to the confusion, but fans looking for more first-person parkour action will be more than happy either way.
"Rise of the Tomb Raider" (PS4/Xbox One/PC) — The 2013 reboot of Lara Croft's adventures was one of the best games of its year, so it was great news to learn that a follow-up from Square Enix is on its way. Another game, "Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris" — a sequel to the excellent multiplayer title "Guardian of Light" — was announced, as well.
"Scalebound" (Xbox One) — Platinum Games, the developers of titles like "Bayonetta" and "Vanquish," announced their next title as an Xbox One exclusive. Little is known outside the trailer, which featured characters taming and befriending dragons — and let's be honest here, that's enough to get excited about, isn't it?
"Splatoon" (Wii U) — One of the most colorful new offerings on tap from Nintendo was this third-person shooter where players take control of squid/human hybrids and battle each other by spraying ink. It's bizarre, it's unique, it's weird, and it looks like a ton of fun.

The Green Wave varsity basketball teams are both off to a 3-0 start.
Senior point guard Tinara Brown led the Lady Green Wave basketball team to victory Friday. Brown scored a game-high 15 points as Summerville earned a 57-25 victory over Berkeley County. Zuri Green chipped in 10 points and Ashley Green eight as the Lady Green Wave earned its first road victory of the season.
We played with a lot of intensity, especially on the defensive end, Summerville coach Matt Legare said. It was a good win because everyone contributed. We got a little banged up and are not at a full roster right now anyway, so it was a good sign to see the starters dial up their intensity and the reserves follow suit.
JaKaylah Ravenell, Heather Chapman, Rodnesha Capers, Chelsi Anderson, Michelle Padgett and DAlexis Aldgridge also got in on the scoring for Summerville.
Priscilla Washington led the Lady Stags (0-1) with six points and Donni Robinson added five points for Berkeley.
Summerville jumped out to a 17-6 lead in the first period and entered the half with a 22-point lead. The Lady Green Wave then put the game away with 19 points in the third period.
On Tuesday, Zuri Green led the Summerville girls past Military Magnet. She scored a game-high 18 points as Summerville rolled to a 73-28 win over the Class A team.
Ashley Green added 14 points for Summerville while Brown contributed 12. Gabrielle Stewart, Ravenell, Capers, Anderson and Padgett also scored for the Wave.
The Summerville boys earned a 47-38 win over Military Magnet. John Jenkins led the Green Wave shooters with 14 points and senior Brandon Wilkerson chipped in 12. Timmy Singleton, Chris McKinnon, Tyler Palmer, Isaiah Kinloch and Christian Kalacanic also scored for Summerville.
Magnet outscored the Wave in the first and the third periods, but Summerville finished both halves strong to secure the victory.
The Summerville teams host a rematch with Berkeley on Dec. 7. Tipoff for the girls game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Man tells police he spent Social Security money on sexFebruary 25,2013By Patrick McArdle
BENNINGTON — A Depot Street man was arraigned on a misdemeanor charge on Monday after police said he had a long-term arrangement with a woman who he paid to perform sexual acts.
Robert Bailey Sr., 68, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a count of performing a prohibited act by procuring a woman for prostitution.
In an affidavit, Officer Thomas Bull, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was called to the Bennington home of Perri Kaukas, 33, because of an argument on Jan. 4.
Bull said that Kaukas asked that Bailey leave her home. Bailey told Bull that he had paid Kaukas $81 for sex the night before.
According to the affidavit, Kaukas admitted to taking the money but said it was a gift.
Bailey agreed to leave but asked Bull to take a statement about how he had been paying Kaukas for sex for the past nine months, Bull said.
In his statement, Bailey said he had first given Kaukas money for sex in April and estimated the amount he had given her from then until Jan. 4 was about $2,500.
According to Bailey, Kaukas said she used the money for cigarettes and lottery tickets.
Bailey wrote that his brother owed Kaukas $5 for a sexual act she performed. He said he and his brother pay her money from their Social Security income.
"We need ... it for food. I have not hardly any food in the house because it all goes to her for sex," Bailey wrote.
While Bull said he reviewed the statement with Bailey to confirm the information Bailey had given, Bull said Bailey called him later in the night to say he didn't want to pursue criminal charges against Kaukas "because he was at fault for paying for sex."
Bull said he contacted Kaukas on Jan. 17 and asked her to come to the Bennington Police Station.
During an interview, Kaukas admitted to taking money for sex but said Bailey had offered her money for performing sexual acts, according to the affidavit.
Kaukas gave a written statement in which she admitted to taking the cash, performing sexual acts and spending the money on "food, lottery or cigarettes."
"This is my first time doing this," Kaukas said in the statement.
Kaukas has been charged with several crimes over the last 13 years but most were dismissed except for a charge of simple assault to which she pleaded guilty in October 2002.
Susan McManus, who represented Bailey, requested a sanity and competency evaluation of her client.
According to McManus, Bailey had come to the hearing with his caseworker from United Counseling Service.
Bailey was released without bail but ordered to have no contact with Kaukas.
A call to the Bennington County State's Attorney's office asking about whether Kaukas was being investigated for possible charges was not returned before deadline on Monday.

About LIM College
Faculty Member Produces Events for Major Names in Fashion
Marilu Menendez works with fashion designer Isabel Toledo and photographer Ruven Afanador
Marilu Menendez, an adjunct faculty member in LIM College's Marketing and Arts & Communications Departments, recently worked on several high-profile projects with some of the leading creative minds in the fashion world.
In August, she produced and promoted a major exhibition of the work of Ruven Afanador at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Bogota, Colombia. Afanador is an internationally renowned fashion photographer who lives and works in New York. His fashion editorials and celebrity portraits have appeared in many of the world's leading publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, InStyle, Paris Photo, Rolling Stone, and Elle, as well as in the French, German, Spanish, Australian, and Japanese editions of Vogue.
The exhibition, titled "Yo Sere tu Espejo…Ruven Afanador: 80 Retratos" ("I Will Be Your Mirror…Ruven Afanador: 80 Portraits") broke records for both attendance and press coverage. It featured a retrospective of Afanador's work as a portraitist, including photos of Catherine Deneuve, Antonio Banderas, Courtney Love, Quentin Tarantino, Oprah Winfrey and Tina Fey, alongside of images from Afanador's three books and of Colombia luminaries such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Ingrid Betancourt.
Watch a video about the exhibition.
In the fall, Menendez produced and promoted a museum exhibition on the unique collaboration between celebrated fashion designer Isabel Toledo and her artist husband Ruben Toledo. That exhibit, at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, was titled "Una Historia de Amor entre el Arte y la Moda" ("A Love Story between Art and Fashion").
Read about the exhibition in WWD.
Menendez then coordinated the production of Isabel Toledo's show of her Spring-Summer 2012 Collection, which opened Puerto Rico and Miami's Fashion Weeks, respectively. Menendez also produced a Toledo's show for Miami Fashion Week. These were significant events, as Toledo had not shown her collection in more than a decade.

As is usually the case, there's plenty to do around Central Oregon this week if you're into live music, so I'm going to keep it basic with the highlights:
–Tonight, the popular Last Band Standing competition returns for 2011, pitting 32 bands against each other for audience votes over the next 11 weeks. If you click here, you'll find my story — which includes some changes for this year's LBS — plus a schedule of who plays when and where you can pick up free tickets.
–In the middle of the section, we've got short stories on three very different shows you should consider checking out. There's local metal band Stillfear's CD-release show on Saturday night, much-loved roots band The Devil Makes Three's return visit on Sunday night, and ultra-cool L.A. rapper Pigeon John heading a solid hip-hop bill on Tuesday night.
–Elsewhere in the music section, you'll find everything you need to know on Beth Wood's folk songs, Cornmeal's lightning-fast bluegrass, Adler's Appetite's Guns N' Roses connection, Blaine Larsen's pure country and Audiophilia's eclectic jams.

I've been defending this game a lot BUT:
I watched a BTTF playthrough (I haven't had much cash so not really able to afford games) and I have to say...If TT takes the BTTF route with KQ, then it will have been a very big mistake.
I'm a fan of interactive movies; I loved Phantasmagoria--but even Phantas didn't explicitly hold you by the hand and tell you exactly what to do and where. From what it seems, BTTF is truly an interactive movie--a movie which tons of cutscenes, no REAL puzzles and very little interaction with the surroundings. I'd take an interactive movie in the Phantas vein with a narrator added--that could be cool, because Phantas was pretty challenging in parts. But not BTTF style? No way!
Also, I hope they don't go for the Pixar/3D cartoon look of BTTF. I'd love an updated VGA sort of look, or even a KQ7 look. But not a 3D Pixar look. It just looks goofy.
I've been supporting this game because I want KQ to come back from the dead, and from a plot perspective, I fear the alternative to TT (TSL). I don't ever want POS going near KQ officially. I'd accept AGDI doing an official KQ game as they get the feel and the puzzles and the atmosphere down pat, but I'm not a big fan of them tying all the games together tightly and having GK style conspiracies just like TSL does.
If AGDI would do a KQ game with the sophistication of KQ2VGA but without the intricate plot and "epic" backstory, I'd 100% support them getting the license....
So, yeah right now it's a "lesser of two evils" situation.....

- Heavy ions and X-rays in brain tumor treatment : a comparison of their biological effects on tissue slice cultures (2009)
- Background: In this interdisciplinary project, the biological effects of heavy ions are compared to those of X-rays using tissue slice culture preparations from rodents and humans. Advantages of this biological model are the conservation of an organotypic environment and the independency from genetic immortalization strategies used to generate cell lines. Its open access allows easy treatment and observation via live-imaging microscopy. Materials and methods: Rat brains and human brain tumor tissue are cut into 300 micro m thick tissue slices. These slices are cultivated using a membrane-based culture system and kept in an incubator at 37°C until treatment. The slices are treated with X-rays at the radiation facility of the University Hospital in Frankfurt at doses of up to 40 Gy. The heavy ion irradiations were performed at the UNILAC facility at GSI with different ions of 11.4 A MeV and fluences ranging from 0.5–10 x 106 particles/cm². Using 3D-confocal microscopy, cell-death and immune cell activation of the irradiated slices are analyzed. Planning of the irradiation experiments is done with simulation programs developed at GSI and FIAS. Results: After receiving a single application of either X-rays or heavy ions, slices were kept in culture for up to 9d post irradiation. DNA damage was visualized using gamma H2AXstaining. Here, a dose-dependent increase and time-dependent decrease could clearly be observed for the X-ray irradiation. Slices irradiated with heavy ions showed less gamma H2AX-positive cells distributed evenly throughout the slice, even though particles were calculated to penetrate only 90–100 micro m into the slice. Conclusions: Single irradiations of brain tissue, even at high doses of 40 Gy, will result neither in tissue damage visible on a macroscopic level nor necrosis. This is in line with the view that the brain is highly radio-resistant. However, DNA damage can be detected very well in tissue slices using gamma H2AX-immuno staining. Thus, slice cultures are an excellent tool to study radiation-induced damage and repair mechanisms in living tissues.
- The nontoxic natural compound Curcumin exerts anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive properties against malignant gliomas (2010)
- Background: New drugs are constantly sought after to improve the survival of patients with malignant gliomas. The ideal substance would selectively target tumor cells without eliciting toxic side effects. Here, we report on the anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive properties of the natural, nontoxic compound Curcumin observed in five human glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines in vitro. Methods: We used monolayer wound healing assays, modified Boyden chamber trans-well assays, and cell growth assays to quantify cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in the absence or presence of Curcumin at various concentrations. Levels of the transcription factor phospho-STAT3, a potential target of Curcumin, were determined by sandwich-ELISA. Subsequent effects on transcription of genes regulating the cell cycle were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Effects on apoptosis were determined by caspase assays. Results: Curcumin potently inhibited GBM cell proliferation as well as migration and invasion in all cell lines contingent on dose. Simultaneously, levels of the biologically active phospho-STAT3 were decreased and correlated with reduced transcription of the cell cycle regulating gene c-Myc and proliferation marking Ki-67, pointing to a potential mechanism by which Curcumin slows tumor growth. Conclusions: Curcumin is part of the diet of millions of people every day and is without known toxic side effects. Our data show that Curcumin bears anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive properties against GBM cells in vitro. These results warrant further in vivo analyses and indicate a potential role of Curcumin in the treatment of malignant gliomas.
- CSF and serum biomarkers focusing on cerebral vasospasm and ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (2013)
- Delayed cerebral vasospasm (CVS) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remain severe complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although focal changes in cerebral metabolism indicating ischemia are detectable by microdialysis, routinely used biomarkers are missing. We therefore sought to evaluate a panel of possible global markers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients after SAH. CSF and serum of SAH patients were analyzed retrospectively. In CSF, levels of inhibitory, excitatory, and structural amino acids were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In serum, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100B level were measured and examined in conjunction with CVS and DCI. CVS was detected by arteriography, and ischemic lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT) scans. All CSF amino acids were altered after SAH. CSF glutamate, glutamine, glycine, and histidine were significantly correlated with arteriographic CVS. CSF glutamate and serum S100B were significantly correlated with ischemic events after SAH; however, NSE did not correlate neither with ischemia nor with vasospasm. Glutamate, glutamine, glycine, and histidine might be used in CSF as markers for CVS. Glutamate also indicates ischemia. Serum S100B, but not NSE, is a suitable marker for ischemia. These results need to be validated in larger prospective cohorts.
- Occurrence of vasospasm and infarction in relation to a focal monitoring sensor in patients after SAH: placing a bet when placing a probe? (2013)
- Introduction: Vasospastic brain infarction is a devastating complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Using a probe for invasive monitoring of brain tissue oxygenation or blood flow is highly focal and may miss the site of cerebral vasospasm (CVS). Probe placement is based on the assumption that the spasm will occur either at the dependent vessel territory of the parent artery of the ruptured aneurysm or at the artery exposed to the focal thick blood clot. We investigated the likelihood of a focal monitoring sensor being placed in vasospasm or infarction territory on a hypothetical basis. Methods: From our database we retrospectively selected consecutive SAH patients with angiographically proven (day 7–14) severe CVS (narrowing of vessel lumen >50%). Depending on the aneurysm location we applied a standard protocol of probe placement to detect the most probable site of severe CVS or infarction. We analyzed whether the placement was congruent with existing CVS/infarction. Results: We analyzed 100 patients after SAH caused by aneurysms located in the following locations: MCA (n = 14), ICA (n = 30), A1CA (n = 4), AcoA or A2CA (n = 33), and VBA (n = 19). Sensor location corresponded with CVS territory in 93% of MCA, 87% of ICA, 76% of AcoA or A2CA, but only 50% of A1CA and 42% of VBA aneurysms. The focal probe was located inside the infarction territory in 95% of ICA, 89% of MCA, 78% of ACoA or A2CA, 50% of A1CA and 23% of VBA aneurysms. Conclusion: The probability that a single focal probe will be situated in the territory of severe CVS and infarction varies. It seems to be reasonably accurate for MCA and ICA aneurysms, but not for ACA or VBA aneurysms.
- Non-aneurysmal non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: patient characteristics, clinical outcome and prognostic factors based on a single-center experience in 125 patients (2014)
- BACKGROUND: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is mainly caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysms but in up to 15% of patients with SAH no bleeding source could be identified. Our objective was to analyze patient characteristics, clinical outcome and prognostic factors in patients suffering from non-aneurysmal SAH. METHODS: From 1999 to 2009, data of 125 patients with non-aneurysmal SAH were prospectively entered into a database. All patients underwent repetitive cerebral angiography. Outcome was assessed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (mRS 0-2 favorable vs. 3-6 unfavorable). Also, patients were divided in two groups according to the distribution of blood in the CT scan (perimesencephalic and non-perimesencephalic SAH). RESULTS: 106 of the 125 patients were in good WFNS grade (I-III) at admission (85%). Overall, favorable outcome was achieved in 104 of 125 patients (83%). Favorable outcome was associated with younger age (P < 0.001), good admission status (P < 0.0001), and absence of hydrocephalus (P = 0.001).73 of the 125 patients suffered from perimesencephalic SAH, most patients (90%) were in good grade at admission, and 64 achieved favorable outcome.52 of the 125 patients suffered from non-perimesencephalic SAH and 40 were in good grade at admission. Also 40 patients achieved favorable outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Patients suffering from non-aneurysmal SAH have better prognosis compared to aneurysm related SAH and poor admission status was the only independent predictor of unfavorable outcome in the multivariate analysis. Patients with a non-perimesencephalic SAH have an increased risk of a worse neurological outcome. These patients should be monitored attentively.

Rep. Fitz Steele is on the right track, we think, about returning more coal severance funds to the state's coal counties, and he has filed a bill that would do just that. But we would like to see his bill taken a step further and form a coal severance trust that would put back a portion of these funds for future use.
Rep. Steele's bill will likely face tough opposition from other lawmakers outside of the coalfields. No matter how you stack it, though, Kentucky's coal counties stand to lose a lot of money as severance receipts shrink due to a lack of demand for coal.
"I am concerned about the coal severance receipts, they are down, they're down significantly," Gov. Steve Beshear was recently quoted on Kentucky Public Radio. "And that because coal mining is down significantly, the tons of coal mined has dropped."
So, we can expect a drop in severance, and coal counties in particular can expect that budgets will be slashed and planned infrastructure projects may be put on hold. That begs the question, what should be done with the coal severance revenues counties now stand to receive?
For the sake of argument, let's assume that Rep. Steele's bill will not make it into law. Perry County, for example, takes an expected hit in coal severance. Where will the money the county does receive go from there?
Obviously, there are still a few pockets of the county that could stand a good drink of water, and by and large our elected officials in Perry County have worked to extend waterlines to every homeowner who wants to tap on to a municipal supply. We think that should continue.
But we also think we have to begin looking into the future.
In 2011, the Mountain Association for Economic Development (MACED) released a report that urged leaders to form a trust fund from coal severance dollars that can be accessed later on for prioritized projects.
We said this was a good idea last year, and we still think so, especially in light of dwindling coal severance revenues.
Even if Rep. Steele's bill is ultimately signed into law, and the coal counties receive a multitude of severance revenues, it's still a good idea to form a trust and let these tax funds grow for future use. After all, coal will not always be around, but we can take action to help ensure needed funds will be available for the future. And if the demand for coal continues to decline, our coal counties will be in even greater need for the money such a trust could represent.

Saturday, May 30, 2009
Weekends are Market Days. Even if we take Marty out to the vineyards to run for an hour, we still try to hop over to the market before noon. And, of course, if weekends are Market Days, then that can only mean that we will be cooking.
Sundays we head over to the Marché Talensac, Nantes' rather chi-chi place to shop for seafood, fruits and vegetables, cheeses and wine, and her only covered marketplace. The offerings are up-scale, the stands are neat and well organized, the prices following. But we know that the meat and chicken are fresh and top quality, the wines good, and we can find almost any spice, dried fruit, basically almost any ingredient, local or exotic, we crave to prepare almost any dish. And occasionally we even bump into M. Le Maire (the long-time Mayor of Nantes).
But Saturdays are reserved for Le Marché de la Petite Hollande. La Place de la Petite Hollande used to be on the water and where the Dutch boats would come and dock, selling their wares to the bustling crowds of "Nantais" who came to do their marketing at the covered "Halles", thus the name "Little Holland".
Now La Petite Hollande is the "marché populaire", the "people's market", tables set up willy-nilly displaying olives of every type, local cheeses and fresh eggs, vegetables still covered with dirt next to brown paper-wrapped flowers pulled straight from the ground. Trucks, side windows gaping, are lined up "la queue leu leu" (end to end) offering crêpes or pizzas, Russian pirogues, fresh brioches or roasted chickens hot and dripping straight off of the rotisserie, folding tables are weighed down with huge vats of bubbling Vietnamese or Madagascan dishes, and everything from Nems to Accras to baklava and spicy blood puddings can be found. And while Talensac market attracts the Bourgeois of Nantes, La Petite Hollande is where we come shoulder to shoulder with the North African, the West African and the Asian Communities, whole families often 3 generations together purchasing food, clothing and house wares, students looking for cheap eats and all those willing to fight the crowds, be pressed up against piles of lettuce and cool glass-fronted display cases, or insist (with much arm waving and laughter) on their turn in a mish-mash of clients in order to be able to fill their baskets with inexpensive, fresh products, fish, bread or tomatoes.
A couple of Saturdays ago, we were wandering up and down the allies, ogling the prepared dishes, wondering if we should choose a roasted chicken or meat pirogues or sweet and sour shrimp when we came upon 3 young women surrounded by a trio of folding tables, selling the traditional specialties of their native country, Senegal. Two were calmly preparing fish and meat pastels, savory turnovers, one after the other, their KitchenAid mixer working furiously behind them, kneading dough. The third was standing in front of two huge pots where Poulet (Chicken) Yassa, chicken cooked in a thick sauce of onions and olives, and Boulettes de Boeuf (Beef Meatballs) Maffé, a rich peanut cream sauce, were simmering and giving off such an incredible odor that we couldn't but stop and stare longingly at the gorgeous stews, breathing in deeply the heady odors.
We bought a barquette for two of the Chicken Yassa and a second filled with plain white rice and headed home where we sat down for an amazing lunch worth every ooh and ahh that it did indeed elicit. The sauce, as we soon discovered, surely made from a basketful of onions, was tangy with mustard and vinegar, bright and sharp with the juice of ever so many lemons and right then and there I decided that I absolutely had to recreate this delectable dish.
I searched the internet and came up with a slew of recipes, all rather similar seeing that it is a traditional dish, yet I came across one that seemed the closest to what I wanted proportion-wise, and in finding the recipe I also discovered the fabulous French-language cooking blog Passion Culinaire by a talented young woman Minouchka, filled with both French and more exotic, ethnic cuisines and dishes.
Inspired by Minouchka of Passion Culinaire
For 6 people, more or less
1 chicken, about 3.5 lbs (1.5 kg) or equivalent weight in favorite pieces
2.5 lbs (1 kg) onions
3 lemons
4 large cloves garlic
2 Tbs Dijon-style mustard *
2 Tbs vinegar (I used red wine vinegar) * + 1 tsp for marinade
4 Tbs vegetable oil, or as needed
1 cup or so olives, I used lemon-infused purple olives, but green are fine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut the chicken into pieces and remove excess pockets of fat and skin.
Squeeze the juice from 2 of the lemons into a bowl or platter just big enough to hold all of the pieces of chicken comfortably. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Push the chicken pieces into the lemon juice and allow to marinate at least half a day if not all night.
Peel and slice the onions. Try and avoid cursing the entire time you slice onions, as I unfortunately did. Peel and mince or crush the cloves of garlic.
(At this point, husband walked into the kitchen after listening to me curse and scream at my dull knife and not-the-freshest onions for 15 minutes and he said "I thought cooking was supposed to be a pleasure!")
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven. Heat either a tablespoon of margarine or vegetable oil, if needed, and brown the chicken in 2 batches, making sure not to overcrowd. Once all the pieces are browned all over, maybe 5 – 10 minutes each batch, remove them to a plate.
Heat 4 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same pot and add the sliced onions. Stirring almost constantly, or at least to make sure they are moving so the bottom slices don't burn and so they all cook evenly, cook the onions several minutes until tender and translucent.
Once the onions are soft, translucent and just beginning to turn golden, add the minced garlic, the mustard and the vinegar. Salt and pepper generously.
Continue stirring as you let the onions continue cooking for 2 minutes. Now add a small glass of water, stir and allow to simmer for just a minute or 2 until the sauce thickens.
Add the browned chicken pieces to the onions and, stirring, cook for 2 minutes.
Add a small glass of water (I brought the level of water just up to barely cover the chicken) and the olives. Bring back up to the simmer and, over medium heat, cook for 20 – 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Add the juice from the last lemon, stir into the sauce and remove from the heat.
This dish can then sit until ready to make your rice, because with rice it is served. Reheat gently as your rice cooks, check for seasoning (salt, pepper and lemon) and then serve over white rice.
This is one of those dishes that improves with time! Don't hesitate to make extra to reheat the second, or even third, day!
* Results: An amazing odor filled the kitchen creating a kind of human Pavlovian drool reaction. The Yassa was exquisite, delicious, yet it wasn't quite tangy enough for either JP or me. At first I thought to add more lemon juice, yet after finishing the meal, I decided that the next time I prepare Yassa – which I definitely will! – I will increase both the mustard and the vinegar to 3 Tbs each, maybe add a bit more lemon juice at the end and go from there. It is such a simple dish to put together and so scrumptious it will amaze family and guests.

Jamie this is so glorious - your markets and your chicken yassa!
When I read you want more tang to the dish, I wondered if preserved lemon would work. I know it doesn't really go region wise but would the flavor?
I very much want to try this. Is there something special about the rice with this?

To answer the various questions:
Preserved lemon is worth trying, but I am going to try adding more mustard and vinegar next time as I felt that this was what was missing.
Good tools :-) absolutely. When he complained about my cursing, I handed him the knife and told him to sharpen it.
Yes, Ninja, this is the big Saturday-only market between the library and the pool. Crowded and fun!
Oh, I used Uncle Ben's White Rice for this, but I think a well-cooked basmati would be even better. That is closer to what they sold at the market with the Yassa.

Oh Jamie, thanks for taking me to Europe this morning! Reading your post, I could hear the sounds, smell the smells, and remember my market days of childhood with my Oma!
We have a Saturday Farmers' market here in Richmond, it's been held in the same area since Civil War days, but it's somehow not the same as those in Europe, particularly those in sea towns like Nantes and Hamburg.
Hugs to you and all your men!

Hi Jamie,
Wow. Wowowowow. That looks like a bit of heaven. Beautiful market, and pictures too.
I hate dull knives too and start swearing when I'm stuck with them loud enough that my husband will hear and eventually come sharpen them for me.
Wow, I'm passive aggressive I guess! Maybe I'll just ask him next time lol.

EAST BEND - The third-ranked Lady Falcons' perfect record will be put to the test this week.
Forbush, sitting third in Eurosports' latest 2A state rankings at 14-0, will face two of its stiffest challenges on back-to-back nights this week in East Bend.
First, the Falcons welcome Northwest Conference rival Surry Central to town Tuesday night.
The Eagles, the 11th-ranked squad in the 2A, reeled off nine straight wins to open the season before struggling as of late. Surry Central sits at 12-2-1 on the year and 6-2-1 in conference play.
Then Forbush hosts 3A powerhouse West Rowan in a marquee matchup between two of the top teams in the state.
West boasts a perfect 14-0 mark on the year and is ranked second in Eurosports latest 3A rankings.
While the Falcons have only been tested twice on the season - 3-1 win over West Stokes and 3-0 win over Ashe County - West is battled tested with six of their 14 wins coming by three goals or less.

I'm glad that at least Eddie Bravo was being honest with me when he admitted that this movie (which had just finished filming at the time) was going to suck. So....at least that's....something...uhhh....yeah. I'm trying to remember who Einstein plays in this cinematic tour de force but I can't be bothered to look it up on IMDB.

As bad as the movie looks... can I just say that I'm at least glad that MMA is now getting the Hollywood movie-fu focus, rather than the long time focus on Shaolin Kung Fu?
No hating here, I love Kung Fu movies. But we all know that in that case Hollywood created something practically out of thin air. Whereas at least here, MMA has a real combat-style history.Click To Get My Free Training Newsletter... Do It NOW!

How did the fights look? It was mostly guys from our gym doing them. You should have seen Tim and Dustin for sure.Judo is only gentle for the guy on top.

Gotta say, the scenes looked good. Walking in, I was expecting some capoeira/flying spin kick VanDamme-esque crapfest. For once, I was plesantly surprised.
On a side note, I'm not familiar with Koba as a Russian name. I know Joseph Stallin used it as a nickname at times, but the man was Georgian, so could be of Georgian origin. Meh.

Rated 4 out of 5�by sbrya28 Good, just wrinkly I ordered this top right away, as I am a fan of the leather/leather-look tops. Got it today in a Small; it does fit true to size, it's not stiff material and I love the mesh back. The leatherette has a bit more of a shiny look, like a wet leather, rather than a matte leather. That surprised me a bit, but I thought it's still ok to wear for late spring/summer. I took one star away because it came in a bag and the front is wrinkled. You can't iron this material, so I'll need to see if I can steam it or take it somewhere to get those wrinkles out. Definitely wearing with skinnies and tall heels! May 20, 2013

Baseball Fans Rejoice at Star-Studded Series
September 16, 2005
Copyright 2015 TMP International, Inc.
McFarlane Toys, continuing the proud tradition of their Legends lines and Sports Picks, presents: the Cooperstown Collection Series 3. The first "Legends line" offered by McFarlane Toys was the original Cooperstown collection, which was released amid much celebration back in July 2004. The third edition of the Cooperstown Collection will arrive in stores everywhere in mid-February 2006. The six-figure line includes five Hall of Famers and one baseball icon:
"Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time."
joined the New York Yankees in 1951 and became the newest link in a chain of phenomenal Yankees sluggers. From Babe Ruth to Lou Gehrig to Joe DiMaggio to "The Mick," New York was blessed with the overlapping careers of four Hall of Fame baseball legends. "The Commerce Comet" was a 16-time All-Star, three-time A.L. MVP, a triple crown winner and a seven-time World Champion. Mantle crushed 536 career home runs, placing him 12th on the career list and ranking as the most dominant switch-hitter in baseball history. To a generation of fans, Mickey Mantle WAS the New York Yankees.
"Catchers too often get saddled, and manacled, and titled, and viewed, as the non-athletes ... throw him behind the plate because he can't move and we'll work something out later. But in the '70s there was a new generation of catchers that came along. Not just one here or there, but a generation of catchers: Bench, and Boone, and Carter, and Parrish, and Munson, and Fisk. That's when they started putting athletes behind the plate, and I think the whole game has elevated since. We were insulted and refused to accept that we were wearing the tools of ignorance."
set a new standard for grit and determination at the catcher position. "Pudge" played an unheard-of 24 seasons behind the plate for the Red and White Sox, while appearing on eleven All-Star teams. The native New Englander was the first unanimous Rookie of the Year in 1972, and brought Boston to the brink of a championship with his heart-stopping, game-winning home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. Thirteen strong years in Chicago made him a legend to White Sox fans, and an entire nation of baseball enthusiasts celebrated Carlton's induction into Cooperstown in 2000.
"A life is not important, except in the impact it has on other lives."
The baseball world was changed in 1947, when Branch Rickey and the Brooklyn Dodgers became the first major league team with an African-American player on their roster.
was the trailblazer -- enduring verbal abuse from fans and opponents while balancing his own expectations and aspirations as a ballplayer versus his heavily scrutinized role as an agent of social change. On the field, Robinson was a dazzling player and a relentless competitor. In his first four seasons, he stole 100 bases without being caught. The 1947 Rookie of the year and 1949 National League MVP led the Dodgers to six pennants and their first World Champioship in 1955. More importantly, his style, hustle and grace opened to the door for every black ballplayer that followed him. Robinson was voted into the Hall of Fame in 1962, and in 1997 to honor the 50th anniversary of his first season, Major League Baseball retired his uniform number 42, league-wide.
"And that plaque in center field means more to me than you'll ever know. I'm so proud to have been able to play my entire career and be just a small part of this great organization."
The 10th captain in the storied history of the New York Yankees,
hit .343 and won the American League batting title in his first full season in the Big Apple. He followed up his breakout 1984 season with an MVP-winning year in 1985. Though a back injury sapped much of his power following the 1989 season, Mattingly remained the lone bright spot on some truly dreadful Yankees teams in the early 1990's. His quest to lead the Yankees into the postseason was stilted in 1994, when the baseball lockout canceled the remainder of the season with New York atop the American League with a 70-43 record. In his final season, Mattingly led New York to the first-ever American League Wild Card. He hit .417 with a homer and six RBI in New York's five-game ALDS loss to Seattle. Mattingly retired prior to the 1996 season, and in 1997 the Yankees retired his number 23 and honored him with a plaque in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium.
"I tell you, (Steve) Blass, you pitch me inside, they never, never find that ball."
One of the most complete ballplayers ever,
earned four batting titles while compiling twelve straight Gold Glove awards. The 12-time All-Star turned in a phenomenal performance in the 1971 World Series -- hitting .414 and being named World Series MVP following Pittsbugh's seven-game triumph over Baltimore. Clemente smashed a double off the wall in left-center on the final day of the 1972 season for the 3000th hit of his big league career. Pittsburgh's favorite son was a tremendous humanitarian as well, and not only organized relief supplies for an eathquake-ravaged Nicaragua later that year, but chose to accompany the air shipment to insure the much-needed items got to the people in need. Baseball suffered one of its most tragic losses when the plane crashed just off the Puerto Rican coast on December 31st, 1972. Clemente was voted into the Hall of Fame months later in 1973. Major League Baseball has (every year since 1971) given an annual award to the player who combines outstanding skills on the field with devoted work in the community. In 1973, the award was named in honor of Clemente, a lasting tribute to his selflessness and sacrifice.
"It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy."
After five seasons bouncing between the starting rotation and the bullpen,
was sent (along with three other players) to the California Angels in exchange for Jim Fregosi. He spent eight seasons in Anaheim, winning more games and striking out more batters as an Angel than as a Met, Astro or Ranger. The "Ryan Express" racked up the first four of his record seven career no-hitters while wearing the halo. Fans in Texas hold Nolan Ryan close to their hearts, as a homegrown gunslinger who turned in great seasons in Houston and Texas, but Nolan Ryan's best baseball was played as a California Angel.
Look for photography of these six figures in the coming weeks and for the toys to arrive in stores in February 2006.

The hubby got a great job offer this week, but the downside is that the job is in Kansas and we live in Virginia! They're flying us out to sign the paperwork and get us some househunting time in this weekend on their dime.
I'm excited, but also worried. I'm 27 weeks now! I know there's an MFM group in Kansas City, but I don't know anybody there and have no idea what the care will be like. I'm sad to leave such an awesome OB like the one I have now. She's scheduled me for my glucose test and a growth ultrasound next week just to make sure I'm as up to date on everything as possible. If we're still in the area after Thanksgiving, I'll have one more visit then.
So much to be done! I hope the hospital I end up with will be as nice and breastfeeding friendly as the one I had my older son at. And all the stress (even good stress) isn't helping my BP. 150/80 at the office, boo.

UC Hastings attracts students from all around the world. Every year, our class is comprised of students with diverse cultures, experiences, and legal backgrounds.
"I gained a deeper understanding of American law as well as international law. As the world becomes a smaller, more globalized place I believe that knowing both American and international law will help me in my career. It was a tremendous experience."
"UC Hastings has a fantastic faculty and curriculum which allowed me to achieve my goals of being more competitive as an international lawyer as well as acquiring the fundamental knowledge and skill to practice law in the United States."
"The LLM program is a close-knit group of students which contributed to my over all great experience in the program. We explored the city and went to the Giants game together. Go Giants!"
"I loved my time at UC Hastings! It gave me so many new opportunities and experiences while having the chance to share my time with an amazing group of both international and American students. I got to spend my free time wandering around San Francisco, the best city in the world."
"With the location in the dynamic and beautiful city of San Francisco and its distinguished faculty, UC Hastings provides me everything I can imagine and expect for studying in an US law school. I believe the experience in UC Hastings will help me fulfill my professional goals."
"I applied to the UC Hastings LLM program because of its reputation and its fantastic faculty. I chose to come to San Francisco because it is such a fun and diverse city with many great options for foreign students to have a great time."
"The opportunities for LL.M. students to fulfill bar requirements alongside a wide course offering, with a first-class faculty on a range of specialized subjects, while still participating in extracurricular activities drew me to McAllister Street. The proximity of the law school to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, California Supreme Court, California Court of Appeal, United States District Court and State Trial Courts is priceless."
"The LLM program at UC Hastings has refined and enhanced my legal skills and critical thinking. I really enjoyed my classes, the interaction with faculty professors and peers, and the overall stimulating learning environment. It has been an enormously invaluable experience for me on both a personal and educational level."
"The LL.M. program is small but its diversity is great. I had wonderful experiences with my friends coming from all over the world. I returned home with a deeper understanding of both American and International law as well as sweet memories of San Francisco. "
"During my LLM program at UC Hastings, I was completely integrated in an American law school and surrounded by great teachers and students always ready and willing to discuss ideas and assignments outside class with me. At the same time I was in San Francisco, probably the most beautiful city in the US. San Francisco offers a great environment to study and enjoy the student life and also a wide range of opportunities to discover the United States."
"My experience at UC Hastings was fantastic. I improved my legal skills and acquired new ones in every class. I had the opportunity to meet and learn from foreign and American students, and I was able to discuss ideas and assignments with my professors outside the classroom. "

Men are notorious for not taking their personal health as seriously as women.
Now, a survey demonstrates that men are guilty of not paying as much attention to sun exposure and suspicious moles or other skin spots.
In 2012, the American Academy of Dermatology took a survey and found that most men are "lax" when it comes to proper sun protection and are unsure how to examine their skin for cancer.
The survey showed that 29 percent of men say they "always" protect their skin, compared with 43 percent of women, while 39 percent of men and 28 percent of women agreed that they prefer to enjoy sunshine and not worry about protecting themselves from it.
And fewer than half of the men, 46 percent, indicated they knew how to examine their skin for signs of cancer, compared with 59 percent of women.
"This survey demonstrates that many men do not protect themselves from the sun ... and that some still believe that sun exposure is good for their health. This is a very troubling combination in light of the fact that the major risk factor for melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet light," says Dr. Thomas Rohrer, associate professor of dermatology at the Brown University School of Medicine. "Men need to examine their skin and see a dermatologist if they spot anything changing, bleeding or growing."

The ratio of women to men decreases as the population ages.
According to the book, "Gender Gap: The Biology of Male-Female Differences" by David Barash and Judith Eve Lipton, worldwide there are approximately 107 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls.
But all human embryos actually start out as females for the first six weeks of life.
After that sixth week of development, if the embryo is male, a certain gene on the Y chromosome will begin to produce androgens that encourage the development of male characteristics.
Men have a life expectancy of 64.52 years, as compared to a life expectancy of 68.76 for women, says information from The Harvard Medical School.
Also, male babies are 25 percent more likely to die in infancy than female babies.

Sleigh Bells to toll in Bowling GreenWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The cover of Sleigh Bell's second disc, "Reign of Terror," is disconcerting — and intriguing. It's a still life: worn, white-canvas tennis shoes splattered with blood.
"I think the image of the blood on the Ked is a good representation of what 'Reign of Terror' is about, you know, without sounding too pretentious," said lead singer Alexis Krauss. "I think the album is definitely a conversation about losing loved ones and struggling with the different blows that can come to your personal life, but also the music is definitely very youthful and explores a lot of topics that kids confront every day in their lives."
They are her shoes.
"I wear Keds often on stage just because they're so comfortable and I do so much dancing and moving on stage it's impractical for me to wear anything else but sneakers," she said. "Keds are such a classic American shoe and obviously sort of reference high school and innocence and definitely something that we associate with me at this point in the band."
It's not her blood.
"We were performing in Atlanta and [guitarist] Derek [Miller] accidentally came down on my head with the guitar stalk, and I definitely had a head wound and I continued performing the show with a bloody rag on my head. Derek likes to say the blood came from that night, but it didn't; we added the blood," she said and laughed.
The New York duo known for guitar-driven electronic pop formed in 2008. Two years later, Sleigh Bells' debut, "Treats," was gobbled up by fans and critics. The disc was named to more than 150 best-of lists in 2010.
"We could have never anticipated the success of 'Treats.' And I certainly, when I started working with Derek, never expected Sleigh Bells to become my career," said Krauss, a former teacher, during a call from Chicago on a day off from the tour.
"We didn't feel outside pressure, but we did feel a lot of internal pressure [making 'Reign of Terror']. We're really hard on ourselves. We're constantly coming up with ideas and just knocking them down and trying to come up with better ones. We're very analytical, we're very self-critical, and I think that's where most of the pressure came from," she said.
And there was heartbreak.
"'Reign of Terror' has a darker story behind it than 'Treats' did. Derek's father was killed very tragically in a motorcycle accident a couple years ago, and then his mom was diagnosed with cancer, and he had a lot of personal turmoil," Krauss said.
Sleigh Bells will roll into Bowling Green for an 8 p.m. show Nov. 7 at the Clazel Theatre. Araabmuzik will open. Tickets are $23 in advance and $25 day of the show.
"I think our music is showcased best in the live setting because our music is really bombastic; it's loud. We depend on volume," Krauss said. "We try to cultivate an environment on stage that's a bit chaotic and in your face and very physical."
Sometimes fans get physical — and toss breakfast treats.
"When we were recording 'Reign of Terror,' strawberry Pop-Tarts were my go-to snack. So in the liner notes, we just decided to make a little joke of it. It's funny because I frequently get Pop-Tarts thrown at me on stage; it actually happened last night," Krauss said and laughed.

One of my favorite "toys" is a Romanian WASR 10/63M AK47. It has had a few modification before I acquired it. It has a Tapco folding stock and a Galil style handguard. I like this little jewel really well, but, I think that there is room for improvement.
I would like to have better sights than the stock sights that come from the factory. I have found 2 replacement rear sights that I believe will improve my accuracy.
One is made by Tech-Sights. It is mounted on a rear action cover. It is simple to replace-off with the old and on with the new! I would then have an Aperature (peep) sight with a longer sight radius. I'm sure that there would be a great increase in .accuracy. There are two types-one is click adjustable for windage only-you would adjust elevation with the front sight. This sight sells for $110. The other adjust for both windage and elevation. It sells for $125. I believe that either would be a great addition to my rifle.
Also, J&G Sales offers a replacement action cover with a peep sight and picatinny rail on it. I really like the looks of this. With the rail you could mount optical devices such as scopes or red dot sights. For the AKM-47 it sells for 169.95. I think that the picatinny rail would be worth the extra money.
I wonder if anybody here has any experience with these? I would like to hear what others think about these products.

Born: 1897/05/14
Birth Place: New Orleans, Louisiana
Genres: Jazz, Dixieland
Sidney Bechet (May 14, 1897 - May 14, 1959) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer. He was one of the first important soloists in jazz (beating cornetist and trumpeter Louis Armstrong to the recording studio by several months and later playing duets with Armstrong), and was perhaps the first notable jazz saxophonist. Forceful delivery, well-constructed improvisations, and a distinctive, wide vibrato characterized Bechet's playing. Bechet's mercurial temperament hampered his career, however, and not until the late 1940s did he earn wide acclaim.
