This past Sunday, Cliff Pace of Mississippi outdistanced a field of 53 of the worlds top bass anglers to win the 2013 Bassmaster Classic at Grand Lake O the Cherokees in Tulsa, Okla. Paces three-day catch of 54 pounds, 12 ounces earned the angler $500,000 and the most coveted trophy in the sport of angling.
Pace had previously fished in five Classics, and his best finish was second in 2008 when Alton Jones of Texas won the event at South Carolinas Lake Hartwell.
Commenting on the significance of the 2013 victory, the 32-year-old Pace said, This is a gift that I will always cherish. This is the ultimate high of a career, a life-changing moment.
With his 2013 Classic earnings, the Mississippi angler becomes the 39th member of the BASS Millionaires Club, a group that consists of anglers who have surpassed the one million dollar mark in earnings from Bassmaster events.
Day One: A field of 53 anglers took to the water when temperatures dipped below the freezing mark. Despite the cold-front conditions, Cliff Pace caught a five-fish limit of 21 pounds, 8 ounces as did New Jerseys Mike Iaconelli, the winner of the 2003 Classic, to gain a share of the lead. Pace went two hours without a bite but then managed to catch two good fish, including a 6-pound, 8-ounce largemouth, in the last hours of the day. Pace said the key to his Day One catch was fishing slowly, and that he caught two bass on a jig, one on a crankbait, and two on a jerkbait.
In third place after round one was Hank Cherry, a Classic rookie from North Carolina, who weighed in a five-fish limit of 20 pounds, 15 ounces. Four-time Bassmaster Classic champion Kevin VanDam of Michigan followed in fourth with a catch of 19 pounds, 12 ounces while Tracy Adams of North Carolina and Jason Christie of Oklahoma held the fifth and sixth positions.
Day Two: Day Two again saw Pace atop the leader board based on his five-fish catch of 21 pounds, 12 ounces that gave the angler a 7-pound lead over his competitors. The day started slowly for Pace as he didnt catch his first fish until 10 a.m., but the angler did catch the biggest bass of the day, a 7-pound, 2-ounce largemouth.
Pace said, I didnt fish differently today at all. For me, its been all about committing to the way I can catch the big ones. I took a big, big risk to do that. I think Im doing something that has potential and will hold through tomorrow.
Brandon Palaniuk of Idaho moved from 11th place to 2nd on Day Two based on his two-day catch of 36 pounds, 4 ounces. The 25-year-old angler said, It was actually my last fish that made the difference.
Iaconelli dropped from a first-place tie to third place while Cherry moved down one spot to fourth and Christie moved up one spot to fifth. Van Dam managed only four fish on Day Two so he fell from fourth place to sixth place.
Day Three: Day Three saw the field of competing anglers reduced from 53 to the top 25. Despite having a 7-pound lead, the day was an uneasy one for Pace who said, Today was the hardest day Ive ever spent on my boat. I caught two in the first hour and didnt get another bite until about 1:30.
Even though Pace went 5 � hours without a bite, he remained committed to what had worked during Day One and Day Two.
Pace commented, I never lost focus on what I was trying to do. I told myself all day that if I was going to catch them, then Id better slow down and fish like Id been fishing. Then I pulled up to a place and caught two on back-to-back casts. That gave me four. Those four fish weighed 11 pounds, 8 ounces and gave Pace the winning, 3-day catch of 54 pounds, 12 ounces.
Pace relied on two primary patterns to catch his fish. In the early morning when bass were deeper, he worked a football head jig on channel banks and on the inside of main-lake points. Once the sun came out and fished moved shallower, Pace worked a jerkbait on shelves. His top lures were Jackall jerkbaits, a Jackall deep-diving crankbait, and B&M football jig tipped with a V&M Twin Tail.
Brandon Palaniuk was unable to overcome Paces 7-pound lead, but the angler took second-place honors and $45,000 while Hank Cherry moved up to third and won $40,000. Fourth-place honors and $35,000 went to Iaconelli while fifth-place honors and $25,000 went to Mike McClelland of Arkansas, who jumped from 14th place on Day Three. Rounding out the top-ten spots were Tracy Adams, Jason Christie, VanDam, Todd Faircloth of Texas, and Randy Howell of Alabama.
The Bassmaster Classic kicked off the BASS 2013 tournament season, and that season includes the prestigious Elite Series.
Since one of this years Elite Series events is the St. Lawrence River Showdown at Waddington on Aug. 8-11, Classic Champion Cliff Pace and the rest of the worlds top bass anglers will be visiting the north country this summer. The Showdown promises to be a celebration of St. Lawrence River bass fishing, and the event offers a special opportunity for area residents to participate in the associated festivities.

The first day of Comic-Con 2011 isn't even half over, and I've already seen some pretty amazing things. Keep in mind I usually work from home, so actually seeing sunlight and other human beings is pretty amazing, in my opinion.
I've seen a life-sized R2D2, Mr. Hulk Hogan, and a guy in a homemade minotaur outfit. And while I could post pictures of all of these things, the fact of the matter is you don't give a damn. The only Comic-Con related galleries you care to look at involve scantly-clad cosplay girls. Don't deny it. But don't worry, the rest will come later.
Well, give the people what they want, that's what I say. Here's a gallery of the hottest cosplay babes we've seen so far.

CANTON Animals that help enforce the law will now have greater protection under it.
It is now state law that killing a police animal is a felony after Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation Wednesday to increase the punishment against those that take the lives of these four-legged law enforcement officials.
Currently, anyone found guilty of killing a police dog or horse will be charged with a class A misdemeanor. With the signing of Law S1079A, which takes effect on Nov. 1, the killing of police animal while in the line of duty would be charged with a class E felony.
Police animals go where others will not in order to keep law enforcement officials and all New Yorkers safe from harm and its a tragedy when one is killed, Governor Cuomo said. This new law will hold the guilty parties accountable and offer better protections for these highly trained animals who are important members of our law enforcement community.
One of those important members to the law enforcement community in St. Lawrence County is sheriffs Deputy Hershey, a 6-year-old chocolate Labrador.
Hershey is both partner and friend to Deputy Andrew J. Ashley.
Deputy Ashley will have been with sheriffs office for 13 years in September, but he said he has always had an interest in working as a K-9 officer.
He got that chance five years ago when Hershey joined the force.
As the lone K-9 officers in the sheriffs office Deputy Ashley has been working with Hershey since his first day.
We ride around with each other for 12 hours a shift, Deputy Ashley said. He is a partner, just like any human would be.
But he is more than a partner, he is a tool, Deputy Ashley added.
K-9s have to have a lot of play and prey, be highly motivated to both work and please their handler, Deputy Ashley said.
By his side, Hershey was filled with energy pacing around the deputys legs, begging to get on the move.
The narcotics detection, tracking, and article searching certified police dog is used primarily for his nose; however, the K-9 team has been on a number of high profile cases from armed robberies to suspects with knives, leaving plenty of opportunity for Deputy Hershey to get seriously injured in the line of duty, Deputy Ashley said.
And during those calls, Hershey wears his Kevlar vest he received in February as a gift from the SUNY Cantons Criminal Justice Student Association.
But the risk of death on those high profile cases are still there and in the case of Hershey, Deputy Ashley said he would be losing more than a partner, he would be losing a friend.
We work our 12 hour shift and he comes home with me, Deputy Ashley said. When he retires he becomes my pet.
Prior to this new legislation, Deputy Ashley said he has done a number of presentations on working with a K-9.
A question most often asked is, if a police dog gets killed in a line of duty, isnt the same as killing an officer? It isnt, Deputy Ashley said.
Deputy Ashley said that while it is a misdemeanor to kill a police animal now, by going through the state agriculture and markets law it can be brought up to a felony.
Now it will be in the penal law, Deputy Ashley said. Now there is just another avenue to make the felony arrest under the penal.
The governor also signed into law a bill that will allow police departments to waive the requirement that a police dog must be confined for 10 days after biting a person while in the course of official duties.
The new law will allow law enforcement to return the dog to duty after receiving a waiver from a local health department as long as the dog has up-to-date rabies vaccinations and will take place immediately.

"The philosophy of the organization is to encourage pitchers to develop a good delivery, command of their fastball, an off-speed pitch and a good breaking ball," Duquette said. "The first breaking ball that we work with our young pitchers on is a curveball. So that is basically the level of progression of our instruction and our organization philosophy.
"First of all, the cut fastball, we don't like it as a pitch, OK? And we don't like it for young pitchers because it takes away from the development of their curveball, which is a better pitch long-term and also, the velocity of their fastball. So we encourage development of an overhand breaking ball that has depth along with command of their fastball and, of course, velocity and movement will get the hitter out."
A little late posting this, but I wanted to hear some discussion on this topic.

Due to the federal shutdown, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, also known as the WIC program, discontinued issuing benefits at close of business on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Approximately 80 percent of eligible clients in NC already have been issued food benefits for the month of October.
DHHS has determined that federal WIC funds available to NC will be sufficient to cover WIC vouchers already issued for the month of October, but not sufficient to issue additional vouchers. Therefore effective Wednesday, October 9, 2013 WIC will not issue any further WIC food benefits (WIC vouchers, food instruments, or formula from their inventory). This restriction is for all enrolled WIC participants as well as new applicants determined to be eligible for WIC food benefits.
For more information, call or email Georganna Cogburn, WIC Director at Buncombe County Health and Human Services at 250-5172 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Looked upon as massive underdogs (DICE community manager zh1nt0 even saying aus would finish second last in the group stage!), Australia has just defeated Finland in the Grand Final of the BF3 nations cup 286-92.
Round 2 of Bazaar, AUS win 92-0
Round 1 of Kharg Island FIN win 92-0
Round 2 of Kharg Island AUS win 43-0
Its a shame no spectator/battlerecorder exists as it was an epic battle with Australia going in as the powerhouse infantry side and Finland going in massive favourites on the vehicle map (worlds best jet pilot, beating australia in group rounds on caspian 259-0). It was always going to be a matter of who dominated the hardest on their map.
An interesting narrative developed out of Australia having no jet pilots at a European level, developing a massive zerg strat on vehicle maps of jet rams, mass bails and various unorthodox tactics. It paid off in the end, and with the aid of RPG/SMAW shots taking down the chopper and jets a few times, Australia even won the final round on Kharg!
A few Australian players recorded the PoV and will be uploading it to youtube ASAP.

This recipe is from
Lidia's Italy
YIELD: serves 6
- One 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste, plus 1 tablespoon for the pasta pot
- 4 cups 1/3-inch-thick onion slices (about 3/4 pound)
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- 4 plump garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 6 ounces guanciale, pancetta, or bacon, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
- 1 pound bucatini or perciatelli
- 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for passing
- A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 13- or 14-inch diameter
Drain the canned tomatoes; save all the juices. Cut each tomato in quarters lengthwise; slice the quarters in strips, 1/2 inch wide.
Start heating 6 quarts of water with 1 tablespoon of salt in a large pot, to cook the bucatini.
Put 1/2 cup water in the wide skillet, and set it over medium-high heat. Dump in the sliced onions; spread them out and turn them over in the pan as the water starts to boil. Cook the onions, turning occasionally, for several minutes, until they're softened and the water is nearly evaporated.
Pour the olive oil over the onions, toss in the crushed garlic cloves, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to coat all the onion slices with oil; cook for a couple of minutes or more, until onions and garlic are sizzling.
Clear a space on one side of the skillet and scatter in the cured pork (guanciale, pancetta, or bacon). Heat and stir in the hot spot until they're rendering fat and sizzling, then stir in with the onions. Sprinkle the peperoncino in the pan, stir, and let everything cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the onions and pork are caramelized and golden—adjust the heat so nothing burns.
Now spill all the sliced tomatoes and their juices into the skillet, and stir well. Rinse the tomato containers with a couple cups of "slosh" water, and stir that in too; season with salt lightly. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring frequently, and then lower the heat to keep it simmering actively. Let the sauce cook and thicken for about 20 minutes, or until it has the consistency you like for pasta. (If you're pressed for time, concentrate the sauce at a boil, stirring frequently.)
When the tomatoes have been added and the sauce is simmering, you can start cooking the bucatini. (If you prefer, prepare the sauce ahead of time. Stop cooking when nearly thickened and let it cool. Return it to the simmer as your pasta cooks.)
With the water at a rolling boil, slide the bucatini into the pasta pot, letting the strands soften so they don't break, and fanning them out so they don't stick together. Stir well, cover the pot to bring the water back to the boil over high heat, then cook partially covered.
Stir the bucatini occasionally, and check doneness frequently. When the sauce has thickened, taste it and adjust seasoning—keep in mind that the Pecorino Romano will add salt.
When the bucatini are cooked through but still al dente, lift them from the cooking pot with tongs, drain for just a moment, then drop them right onto the simmering sauce. Toss together continuously, over moderate heat, for a couple of minutes, until the pasta is perfectly cooked and evenly coated with sauce. If the dish is dry, ladle in a bit of hot pasta water from the cooking pot. If the sauce is soupy, toss over higher heat to concentrate.
Turn off the heat, and toss in the grated cheese. Drizzle over it a final flourish of olive oil, and serve, either directly from the skillet or in a warm serving bowl, passing additional cheese at the table.

Ive flown, err flapped on "Fly Windows NT". They didnt have enough beer to keep me flapping and I fell asleep. The Kernel crashed and I spent 5 weeks in the hospital. "VMS Airlines" was much more appealing to me.
I read a funnier version of that. I thought I had saved it but I guess not. It said Windows NT was like 9x, except when it crashes, it takes out everything in a 20 mile radius. Does anyone have a link to that version? It was posted either here or at LNO a long time ago.

Linkoping enjoys a temperate climate, with cold winters and warm, humid summers. Winters are warmer and shorter than in Sweden's northern parts, with the city's coldest period lasting from November to March. Moderate snow is a common occurrence as temperatures drop below 41°F (5°C) and daylight lasts less than eight hours. Much like autumn, spring is a gradual transitional season, leading to summers which enjoy as much as 19 hours of sunlight at their peak in July, with average temperatures of between 64°F (18°C) and 73°F (23°C). Light to moderate rains, punctuated by occasional thunderstorms, are fairly common. While travellers will not get to see the midnight sun in Linkoping, it does set as late as 10pm in late June and as early as 3pm in mid-December. The best time of year to visit Linkoping is in the summer months between June and August.
Trains and buses are available at Linkoping Travel Centre, which is near the airport and easily reached by taxi.
Europcar, Avis, Hertz and Sixt are among the rental companies operating in Linkoping, and cars can be collected or dropped off at the airport.
Metered taxis are generally available outside the terminal. Alternatively, the Flygtaxi (airport taxi) service can be booked in advance.
The terminal has a restaurant and vending machines, as well as souvenir shops. Several hotels are located near the airport.
Short-term parking is located near the terminal building, and charges SEK 10 per hour, up to a maximum of two hours. Long-term parking is also within walking distance of the terminal, and costs SEK 120 per day.

Keep an eye out on used - including forums and vendors such as Aeroleather.
BIll Kelso has a sale - not sure if they have a long in the sale section.
There are lots of jackets in that price range, aside from new though, not many are near accurate or awesome. G&B might be close. Older Avirex are also on eBay as are Schott, both of which again, are less "accurate".
$500 used to get you good gear new, now, you gotta look used or sale. Good luck. There's stuff out there to be had, but it will take some work.

Geigerrig Rig 700 Ballistic Hydration Pack £99.95
Pressurisation system is nice if you like to spray it around
Weight 1250g Contact www.geigerrig.com

The Geigerrig Rig 700 Ballistic Hydration Pack is a pressurised hydration pack that eliminates the need to suck. Do bladder pack users really need to stop sucking?
Hydration packs have been around a good few years now with the simple bladder and suck on a mouthpiece doing a good job. Geigerrig don't think good is enough though and so have set about innovating on the current design, the centrepiece of which is a pressurised system, eliminating the need to suck.
Geigerrig sent us their medium backpack based bladders, the Rig 700 Ballistic. The ballistic in the name comes from the nylon material used: a nylon designed in WWII to repel a number of materials and used to create flak jackets. It's a very American glorification (from where Geigerrig hails) and nice to known I'm safe in case of drive-bys!
In all seriousness it does create an extremely hard wearing backpack, which doesn't feel like it will grow tatty over time or in the case of an off.
The star innovation is the bladder. Made from a tough polyurethane, it is constructed with an internal partition, creating two compartments - front and back. Each compartment has a quick-release, leak-free valve, which one of the two hoses attach to: one for water and one for air. The dual layer design also means a different approach to filling: the bag opens at the top like a sandwich bag, making it easy to fill right to the line.
Drying was always the bane of hydration packs for me but Geigerrig have that sorted too. Because the bag opens at the top, it can be turned inside out, allowing all those drops that lurk in the corners to evaporate - I found it to dry very quickly using this method.
Secondly, the inverted bag is dish washer safe.
Filling the bag, you wouldn't be able to tell there are two layers here; the air pocket is really part of the magic trick. The air hose leads to a rubber hand bulb, mounted on one of the shoulder straps.
Pumping the bulb fills the partition, creating pressure on the water bladder and allowing for all sorts of party tricks. The pressure means you no longer have to suck; simply pinch the bite valve and the water will quirt out.
What's the point in a bladder that squirts? Well, for one, you can easily share your hydration between others without swapping germs or them having to crouch up to your chest.
Secondly, you have a hose that can be used for cleaning hands, face, wounds...cleaning, you can even shower if you have the patience (like on of those camping packs, the black material would heat up if left in the sun).
And of course, squirting into your own mouth is easier than sucking, plus you can spray to cool your face. I measured it to squirt around a metre.
The bite valve itself is hard wearing (with minimal biting it shouldn't get as tatty either) and includes a twist to turn on/off.
The fit of the pack on my back is excellent, both with and without a full bladder. Shoulder straps are well cushioned and include upper, and lower, chest braces. The waist strap can be easily removed too, rather than having to leave it dangling when not used.
Plenty of cushioning on the back (around 1/2") is ergonomically shaped and very comfortable. All the straps are adjustable and include elastic loops to tuck away excess.
The 700 has 12 litres of storage with a 2 litre bladder. That's is plenty for a day out on the bike and more.
There are two front pockets (with headphone hole) and two netted compartments inside, all with nice strong zips.
One thing with hydration packs is the bladder moving about or sloshing whilst moving, and the pressurisation helps here too. When inflated, the bladder is wedged in place and water has less space to move. I still found the water sloshed around but not quite as much as other packs.
Something I thought would be an issue was the bladder ballooning awkwardly, however, a plastic plate prevents any deformation across the back section. You do feel the bag inflating but not uncomfortably so, and a release valve is included above the hand bulb. Said release valve is essential when accessing items in the pack, as the inflated bladder takes up quite a bit more volume that can trap stuff, especially those at the bottom.
Inflating takes around 10 pumps; a few seconds.
It's been a while since I've used a bladderpack, mainly because I hated the cleaning maintenance involved, so for me, the open top style of the Geigerrig and invert ability is one of the biggest advantages.
The pressurisation is nice and works well, but to be honest, isn't a revolution for me. This pack retails for £100, a similar sized CamelBak retails for around £80, whether it is worth the extra is down to whether you think you'd use the ability to spray; do you frequently need to share with others or need a supply of water?
Either way, the Rig 700 makes an excellent hydration pack with some neat features.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Geigerrig Rig 700 Ballistic Hydration Pack
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
It's a hydration pack for runners, cyclists, hikers, anyone who needs water whilst out and about.
The big difference here is that it can be pressurised to spray rather than needing to be sucked (it can still be sucked). It works well and as intended.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Bladder: 2l, quick-release valves for drinking tube and pressurization tube for easy refill and bladder removal, slide top for easy refill, cleaning and drying.
Fabric: Heavy Duty 1680 Ballistic Nylon
Weight: 2.80 lbs or 1.28 lbs
Zippers: Heavy Duty Size 8 Coil Zippers
I-Pod Ready Compartment w/ Waterproof Zipper Garage
Removable Waist Strap
Shoulder Strap: Ergonomic Fit, Terraced Overlay for Adjustable Tube Configuration and Power Bulb Configuration, Industrial Load Disbursement cut and padding
Chest Strap: Integrated slider chest strap
Additional Features: Plug & Play Reservoir Tube Connector, PVC Reinforced Compression Straps, Reflective Tabs & Zipper Pulls, Internal Storage Compartments and Organizer, Eco Rig Back Pads, Air Drive Ventilation, Heavy Duty Nylon Pack Handle and Vertical attachment hoops.
Ballistic nylon may be a little overkill but makes for a hardwaring backpack. Good quality zips are used throughout and the bladder feels extremely tough.
Can't fault it. As a standard bladder it works just like any other. Pressurised it does what it says on the tin too.
Well built piece of kit.
Average I'd say.
I found it to be an excellent fit and very comfortable on the bike.
Around 20% more than competitors, it is debatable whether it is worth it. I certainly enjoyed not having to worry about special drying hangers etc. but the pressurisation I could live without.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Both pressurised and unpressurised it works as a bladder. As a backpack, there is plenty of space and pockets for riding equipment.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The sandwich bag style opening for filling and invert able for drying.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
More than I am willing to pay for a hydration pack.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes - if I could find it a little cheaper than RRP.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.
About the tester
Age: 23
I usually ride: Orbea Onix (Carbon) - Summer, Orbea Asphalt (Alu) - Winter My best bike is: Orbea Alma G10
I've been riding for: Under 5 years I ride: Every day I would class myself as: Semi pro
I regularly do the following types of riding: road racing, time trialling, cyclo cross, club rides, mtb,
The same effect can be found in a normal hydration bladder by simply blowing down the drinking tube... So less than the revelation it appears?
It's also only as good as the bite valve; as soon as it begins to wear, and they do, you'll be leaking like a very leaky thing, so you'll turn off the valve, so you have to open the valve to drink, then turn it off again, and in the winter, you'll want the tube empty so it doesn't freeze, so you'll not be pressurising it.
It's an idea. Whether it's a great one or not is open to question.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
After sweeping their region foes last season, the Dinos were expecting to go deep into the state tournament. Instead Grantsville knocked them out of contention in the the first round. It wasn't until after the match when the Dinos had secured their first victory of this season, that they realized that and felt the sweet taste of revenge. Carbon swept Grantsville on Thursday 25-19, 25-18 and 25-16 for the win.
"What a turnaround from last Tuesday, it started with the first set of the sophomore match as that team came out focused and determined. They accomplished something few teams ever do. They had a great hitting set one with five kills out 14 attempts with no errors," remarked Coach Bob Potts after the match, "The rest of teams feed off of this and you could see a new determination in their eyes."
It was a great team effort as everyone on the team contributed to the win in some way or another. Senior outside hitter Sara Potts led the team with 15 kills, two service aces, 13 digs and a block assist. Junior middle hitter Amanda Freestone also had a big game with nine kills and a pair of service aces. Junior outside hitter Rachel Scoggins posted six kills.
Coach Potts felt like the big offensive performance was orchestrated with senior setter Alexis Oliver. Oliver got the ball to right people at the right time with 22 assists. She also had two service aces.
Junior opposite hitter BreAnna Hurdsman kept the Grantsville team from running any offense with 14 serve attempts and two aces. The defense was anchored by senior Kacylia Ivory with 13 digs.
"Grantsville would not serve to her as her passing off serve-receive was excellent." added Coach Potts, "With Emery coming to town on Tuesday it will be a great opportunity to get .500 and build more confidence leading to the start of region play."
The Spartans and the Dinos square off at 6:30 p.m. for varsity action in the Dino gym on Tuesday.

During the week of October 6-10, 2003, I found myself walking along the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. It was there, in the heart of the city—just blocks away from the Alamo—that I found myself surrounded by literally hundreds of fertility specialists. The 59th annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine took place in the convention center in San Antonio. Doctors from a variety of fields descended on the city to discover the latest information on reproductive technologies.
One abstract presented during the conference—from a paper that generated a great deal of interest (and controversy!)—was from James Grifo and his colleagues at New York University School of Medicine. These individuals, working with colleagues at Sun Yat Sen University Medical Science in China, created the first human pregnancy using techniques related to cloning. The procedure was carried out in China, in an effort to avoid laws and regulations regarding human experimentation. As Helen Pearson noted: "The team fertilized eggs from two women in test tubes. They then sucked out the nucleus of one egg and injected it into the other, which they had stripped of its own nucleus. The idea is that the second egg will better direct the growth of an embryo" (2003).
After creating seven "reconstructed" zygotes, the team implanted five of those into a 30-year-old woman who already had undergone two failed attempts at in vitro fertilization. Researchers reported a successful triplet pregnancy, and even were able to detect fetal heartbeats. At 33 days, a "fetal reduction to a twin pregnancy was performed" (see Zhang, et al., 2003). One of the two remaining babies was lost after 24 weeks, due to "premature rupture of membranes," and was pronounced dead as a result of "respiratory distress" (Zhang, et al.). The final remaining infant died at 29 weeks after suffering from a cord prolapse.
This reproductive technique—known as nuclear somatic transfer—is perilously close to human reproductive cloning. [Previously, we have discussed the dangers of human cloning in our two-part series of articles on "Human Cloning and Stem-Cell Research—Science's 'Slippery Slope.' "] As Pearson noted: "The effects of inheriting DNA from two mothers is unknown. Proteins made from the two sets of genes may be incompatible, perhaps even stopping the embryo's cells working" (2003). In light of this evidence, and the unfortunate deaths of the children that resulted from the experiment, it is as unbelievable as it is terrifying that Grifo and his colleagues would dare to conclude: "Viable human pregnancies with normal karyotype [the chromosomal characteristics of an individual—BH] can be achieved through nuclear transfer." How tragic that we already have lost three innocent lives because scientists are resolved to further "improve" this technique. How many more humans will have to die before we realize human cloning is morally and ethically reprehensible?

Georgian Gethsemane
A friend and I were searching the web for versions of Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say) from Jesus Christ Superstar that might surpass Ted Neeley's from 2006. A mission impossible, but I happened to come across an adolescent getting quite near – on a Georgian Idol show.
The young man's name is Luka Zaqariadze and he won that season, to no surprise. He has passion and the voice to express it. That's a rare combination. He also does what is so rare in show business: he totally commits to the song and lives out the lyrics as well as squeezes the notes like the flesh of a lover in heated intercourse.
His version of Gethsemane still has some oddities in how he treats the words and the melody, probably stemming from his own very different musical and cultural background. But when he sings boldly about dying and being nailed to the cross, Luka Zaqariadze expresses the purgatory of puberty, which has no borders.
I had to check out his other performances, and there are several of them from the Georgian Idol 2012 season. Already in his interpretation of Gethsemane it's obvious that he has a metal heart. That also stands out in his version of Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You, which is true to a long-gone time when rock'n'roll was allowed to take its time and the musicians played themselves and their audience into a trance. Here it is, linked from his own YouTube account:
The way the boy makes himself one with the pain and longing at the core of any real rock ballad is breathtaking.
And how about his version of Sting's Desert Rose, where Luka Zaqariadze and the orchestra comfortably mix influences from several cultures, having lots of fun with it:
But he also performed songs that don't translate as easily to the rest of the world. I don't understand any word in the below song, but I imagine it must have local traditional roots. It seems that Luka Zaqariadze is enjoying it just as much as any power ballad.
But what's this kind of song doing in an Idol show? The same can be asked about all the long and elaborate performances above, involving a symphony orchestra and extensive instrumental passages. I don't recognize it from either the Swedish version of the show or the American one. But I love it.
If other Idol shows, outside Georgia, dared the same musical explorations, they would keep me awake and lusting for more. Both in Sweden and USA (many other countries too, I bet), music and the pure joy of it have been brushed aside by business, and by the myth upheld by television executives that the audience can only consume nonsense.
Were it not for the wonderful Internet, we would never ever get to experience anything other than what our national show biz executives wanted to stuff us with. The songs above would never pass through that needle's eye.
So, what will happen to Luka Zaqariadze? He won the Georgian Idol. In the history of the show, that's almost a death sentence. The winners rarely get anywhere, probably because their voting fans soon move on to performers of the next season. How quickly they forget...
I learned as a rock critic for a Swedish newspaper that artists who remain are the ones with their own material, songs from their own hearts and minds. Covers are little more than karaoke. They hardly make history. Even voices and expressions as intense as that of Luka Zaqariadze are doomed if they don't have something unique on which to apply their gifts.
I know nothing about the music scene in Georgia, but I doubt that it's very different on the above account. Luka will need to come up with his own music or he will be forgotten as soon as the next Idol season begins in Georgia. On the other hand, if he finds an inner source from which to fetch his future music, he certainly has the talent to be an idol for real, even outside Georgia.
I end with an irrelevant note. His name made me remember this sweet sad song, whether it's applicable to Luka Zaqariadze's situation or not:

Thanks for this article.I'm one of Luka's fans from Georgia.He is really an extraordinary performer and a very talented musician. But i think he needs support from outside Georgia as the Georgian show business is in a bad situation.. If he has any real support he can make his own songs.I am proud that he is Georgian and I hope his talent will be properly respected some day!Nobody in Georgia is going to forget him :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Let's hope he makes it, somehow.Delete

I'm glad that someone out of Georgia found Luka's performances and decided to write about him. Thanks for that.ReplyDelete
p.s. in that Georgian folk song, there's not a single word with any meaning, it's just sound expressions :)Replies
That's funny. Thanks for letting me know. Then I don't have to be frustrated by not understanding. Cool to perform such a song at an Idol show.Delete
Thank you for writing about him on your blog, the more people know about him, the better his chances of making it to an international audience! Also I really think this 1st season of Georgian Idol was really special in terms of quality, compared to the other Idol editions around the world. Let's hope that the new season this spring will keep the quality high.ReplyDelete
Good Luck to this talented musician!Replies
In the performances I saw, I was very impressed by the musical ambition and that they allowed the songs to be long. Usually in Idol, they make mini-versions of the songs.Delete
This little boy touched me in my soul, and first in my life I became a fan. Thanks for this article, he really needs help.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2013 at 6:59 PM
and what about this? Another very talanted georgian. I am interesting your opinion about him..Replies
It seems Gethsemane is a popular song in Georgia. And why not? It's a splendid aria.Delete
This singer is certainly very competent, but I am not as impressed as I was with Luka. He doesn't have as much nerve, and he cares too much about singing well, instead of getting lost in what the song is about.
Really, Luka outshines him in just about every aspect, even those very difficult to pinpoint.
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2013 at 1:41 PM
Of course Luka is special. and there is no doubt about it. I like him too much. He feels the soul of music and gives it to us. I was asking about singer, about vocal. I think that Niko is great vocalist too. he has very sweet and also very strong voice. you will agree that it is not easy to sing Gethemane. It is one of the hardest song ever. So very few people can do it. Especially as great as they are singing.Delete
That was a very good article and Luka has my support and I am now a fan of his thanks to my girlfriend who is from Tbilisi, Georgia. Me? I"m American from New Jersey, USA. I'm a musician with a good ear for talent and music and based upon what I have seen Luka has what it takes and I enjoy not only his passion but his confidence as well. even though he has a mind for his own type of talent he can duplicate a song with the utmost accuracy. I believe if he could come to New York or California he would gain even more fame. anyway, I wish him more success as he is still young and he is a rising star for sure. I'm sure the world will be hearing more from him in the years to come.ReplyDelete
Barry in NJ...a Luka fan.Replies
I think Luka needs two things for an international career: He needs his own material, original songs that he relates to, written by him or sibling souls of his - and he needs to want an international career, otherwise he will not put in the necessary effort. Maybe he's quite pleased with doing his music in Georgia. Nothing wrong with that.Delete
I think, he really wants an international career; he said in an interview that only overseas is truly possible.Delete
Then all he has to do is get his own good material... Not an easy task. Most musicians fail at it.Delete
thanks for this article :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvPCsKBHOfYReplyDelete

Which is the best version of gethemane for you?ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, it has to be this one: Ted NeeleyDelete
Look at the whole cast listening in awe. No wonder.
- AnonymousFebruary 28, 2013 at 7:10 PM
I can not agree with you. For me Ian Gillan is the best.Delete
Well, that's the original recording. Certainly impressive - but too much of a song and almost sweet, sort of like Paul Jones of the early Manfred Mann.Delete
Way back then, I learned about JC Superstar from the original record, before the film was released. At first, I was rather ambiguous about the film version - but now, so many years later, I think Ted Neeley surpassed Gillan even on the film. Not to mention decades later, when he let his life experience speak out in the song.
Here's another intense version:Delete
György Szomor
It grabs me although I don't understand one word of Hungarian.
One more version, by a very skilled singer, obviously with profound opera schooling. He has the intensity, also his song is fascinating the way he moves between perfectly clear tones and dissonances, to express the anguish the song is about.Delete
Gerónimo Rauch
Now, a great and warm rock singer, with a strong version of Gethsemane:Delete
Peter Cmorik
It's interesting to compare him to Luka, who has so much more nerve, agony, fragility and rebellion in his performance.
Luka really expresses what the song is about: Jesus initially protests against his fate, almost like a rebel, and then reluctantly accepts it, pointing out what a terrible sacrifice he makes - for questionable reasons. That process is evident in Luka's version, painfully much so. Peter Cmorik and many others may hint on the same, but bother too much about singing it well - not living it but doing the soundtrack.
The greatest artists may have splendid instruments, like a wondrous voice or dazzling skills with an instrument, but their main quality is that they have something to express and they do it, no matter how much it tears them up.
"I only want to say" new link:ReplyDelete
what do you think about this song,perfomed by luka zaqariadze? i know that its difficult for you to understand what about is this song :) i will tell you that this song is about georgia...i am very interested in your opinion :)ReplyDeleteReplies
After replying to the comment above, I googled Luka to see what has happened since I wrote the blog post. Not much, it seems. I fear that may mean he's already missed his opportunity.ReplyDelete
An Idol winner is news only until next Idol season begins. That short time needs to be spent energetically. As far as I understand (and I can't read a word of Georgian), he's not made a CD. That's odd.
Normally, a record deal is what the winner of an Idol show is guaranteed, and they are very quick (often too quick) releasing it, to cash in on the momentary fame. Without a record, an Idol winner will have a very hard time keeping his or her fans.
What I could find was a highschool prom concert where he did some rock covers with a band. Neither convincing in itself nor enough to get the musical career going.
Frankly, doing covers of past hit songs is nothing but karaoke, and it never leads to anything. Luka must perform his own music, writing it himself (that's the best) or cooperating with song writers of similar souls. Otherwise, sadly, he'll have to learn to accept that he's had his Warholian fifteeen minutes of fame.Replies

A new national survey has found that a majority of Americans think that abortion is wrong. While 48 percent of 1,000 likely U.S. voters queried in the late August Rasmussen Reports phone survey said they considered themselves pro-choice, with 43 percent identifying themselves as pro-life, 55 percent said they think abortion is morally wrong most of the time. Another 30 percent said they think abortion is morally acceptable in the majority of cases, with 15 remaining undecided on the issue.
Predictably, the poll found that 70 percent of Democrats identify themselves as pro-choice, while 62 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of voters affiliated with neither party identified themselves as pro-life.
When asked about the morality of the procedure, 72 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of unaffiliated voters said they thought abortion is wrong most of the time, with 46 percent of Democrats disagreeing and saying abortion is not wrong in most instances.

Moskowitz sent us this photo of Roxy. He explained:
"Our 4 year old Coton de Tulear, Roxy, is a huge Ravens fan. She lost a bet to the cat next door, a Redskins fan, so she had to wear this Redskin jersey all day."

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Massachusetts Military Reservation
Protecting Cape Cod's drinking water continues to be a major focus at EPA New England. The Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR), a 22,000-acre property that has been used for military training activities since 1911, is located over a sole source aquifer that provides drinking water for 200,000 year-round and 500,000 seasonal residents of Cape Cod. Parts of the aquifer have been contaminated by fuel spills and other past activities at MMR's Otis Air Force Base. Two environmental cleanup programs at the MMR are addressing areas of groundwater contamination, known as plumes, and their sources. One program managed by the Air Force is addressing contamination found primarily on the southern portion of the MMR under the authority of Superfund. The other, managed by the Army, is addressing contamination from the northern portion of the base, Camp Edwards, under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Both of these program's efforts are being conducted with oversight from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

Camp Edwards
Concerned that military training was causing even more damage to the groundwater, EPA's New England Office in February 1997 (AO1 (PDF) (29 pp, 63 K, about PDF)) ordered the National Guard to conduct a study of the effects of military training on groundwater. In May 1997 (AO2 (PDF) (33 pp, 73 K, about PDF)), EPA suspended most military training at Camp Edwards, including all use of live explosives, propellants, flares and lead bullets. It was the first time in our country's history that military training activities had been halted due to environmental and public health concerns. The groundwater study, which is ongoing, has produced evidence of serious groundwater and soil contamination from training with munitions, from unexploded ordnance and from disposal of munitions and other hazardous materials.
As a result of the evidence of contamination, EPA in January 2000 (AO3 (PDF) (44 pp, 107 K, about PDF)) ordered the National Guard to begin the process for the removal of unexploded ordnance from the base and to clean up contaminated groundwater and soils. The order was the first of its kind in the country. And in January 2001 (AO4 (PDF) (39 pp, 102 K, about PDF)), EPA ordered the military to use a detonation chamber at the base to destroy the more than 2,500 rounds of different kinds of ammunition dug out of burial pits on the base during the course of the military's investigation of pollution at the firing ranges.
All four of EPA's orders were issued under the agency's emergency powers to prevent imminent and substantial endangerment to public health. (The first three orders were issued under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the fourth under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.)

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM has a push/pull zoom mechanism instead of a zoom ring. Other lenses, like the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF released in 1988 use this type of zoom too, but the lenses with a push/pull zoom are very rare (none among today Nikkor lenses, I believe).
This zoom seems ways more practical and it is especially much faster to move the front element instead of rotating the ring. The possible issues like the lens extending or collapsing when pointed to the sky or to the ground are solved by the tension ring¹.
Why is this not widespread on pro telephoto lenses? What are the drawbacks? Is the only reason to avoid to move/rotate the front element because of the air flow?
¹ In Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM, the tension ring is close to the focus ring, which makes it easy to move the wrong ring by mistake, but this particular issue is related to the lens itself and not the push/pull zoom mechanism, so it's out of scope of this question.

Purchase Reason
I'm pretty happy with this piece overall. We ordered it mounted on wood, and the quality of the mounting is really nice. It's very solid. The top of the piece tilts off the wall a little more than we expected and looks a little "off." The only others thing that bothers me is that because the print is basically of a book page, the lines of the page don't quite line up with the lines of the top of the piece, so it can be hard to get it exactly straight (something I'm a little nitpicky about)--if the top of the print is straight, the top of the page looks a little crooked, and vice versa.
