K-von has quickly catapulted onto the scene, dazzling crowds in comedy clubs and colleges across the nation. Television appearances include Showtime's Comics without Borders with Russell Peters, Bill Bellamy's Who's Got Jokes?, the Style Network, and Good Morning America. K-von also made his debut as the lead actor in the feature film Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust. He plays the role of Kelvin Cheatham in this spoof on horror films where he is a target for murder and hilariously fights for his survival.
In case you are wondering, yes, K-von is his real name! It is spelled phonetically because so many people have mispronounced it over the years that something just had to be done. With a Persian father and an American mother, K-von's comedy often reflects the clashes in culture that many of today's younger generation can identify with.
K-von grew up in Nevada. Upon graduating college, he decided to pursue a career in comedy and entertainment. Today, he is regarded as one of the fastest rising comedians on the scene and is highly sought after for on-screen performances and interviews.
K-von's stand up material touches on everything from being raised in a Las Vegas based multicultural family to some of his more absurd observations regarding the perils of internet dating. As a comic who is prepared to perform in any venue and often works with children in the audience, K-von makes an extra effort to keep his comedy clean with a little edge to it. With that said, K-von can't wait to make you laugh!

Back Cover Blurb for 'Edge of Danger':
Saige Buchanan travels the world studying her dark past, guided by a strange gift that enables physical objects to tell her their secrets. Yet nothing can protect her from her family's sadistic enemies. Until—in her hour of greatest need—she encounters a mysterious, impossibly sexy shape-shifter.
Sent to find the woman whose darkness has yet to awaken, Michael Quinn battles his primal hunger for Saige. He alone can help her lay claim to her full powers. Yet in doing so, he will destroy her innocence, and mark her as his forever….
Joining me today is Rhyannon Byrd, who has agreed to let me pick her brain for answers with regards to her Primal Instinct Series and the secrets it hides within its pages.
Welcome Rhyannon to Lovin' Me Some Romance!
First, congratulations on the amazing book covers. Truly, they were what initially drew my eye and followed quickly by my pocketbook when I discovered the refreshing twists you've created with the current paranormal myths. While it's no secret that I love my vampires, I must say that I was extremely interested in reading a different offering within the genre. Can tell me a little about the behind the scenes and what inspired you to write the Primal Instinct Series? Did you intentionally set out to create something "out of the box"?
Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of your blog and for the congrats on the Primal Instinct covers! :) I couldn't be happier with them, and I can't wait to see what the Harlequin Art Dept. comes up with for the second trilogy. I've already submitted the cover art forms for Books 4-6, so I'm on pins and needles waiting to see them!
When I set out to write the Primal Instinct series, it was my hope that I would be able to create something that was different from anything I'd done before. I love vampires and shape-shifters, so it was important to me that I keep them a part of this new world—but I really wanted to use this series to push myself and see just what my imagination could come up with that really was "out of the box." :) I began with a familiar paranormal concept, saying that shape-shifters and vampires do live hidden among us…and then took it a step further, asking myself, "But what if there was something more?" And once I asked that question, the world of the ancient clans began to take shape. I loved exploring the idea of making these familiar paranormal species part of a greater whole that included a broad range of other, often unique races. Though we've met some of them already, like the Merrick and the Casus, there are still others that will be introduced as the series continues, and I hope readers will find them as fascinating as I do!
The Merrick, while inherently good and a physical and mental aspect of your hero/heroines, again, is very unique to the paranormal romance genre. Although it drinks blood, the classification of vampire doesn't really fit, in my opinion. I also didn't particularly see it as a shape-shifter but rather a "hulked" out human, if that makes any sense. Can you clarify what the Merrick is and how it's unique attributes make it such an effective killer of it's nemesis, the Casus? Also, does it's abilities differ in male vs. female?
Although they do drink blood and experience a change in their physical appearance when their "primal blood" rises within them, the Merrick are, like you've said, different from the vampires and shape-shifters in the series. They are part of the same collection of non-human races referred to as the "ancient clans," but unlike the shape-shifters, the Merrick do not change into or manifest characteristics of a specific animal. Instead, their human-looking bodies can go into Merrick form, which is different for the males and females of the species. Although Saige, the heroine in EDGE OF DANGER, has fangs in her Merrick form, her physical appearance doesn't alter like her brothers'. Her face doesn't change shape, with her nose flattening as her bones expand, and she doesn't have talons or bulk up with heavy layers of muscle. She does, however, find that her senses become much sharper, and she also becomes considerably stronger. There's also a bit of a difference in the way that the males and females of the species feed, which you'll learn more about in Saige's story. ;) And when it comes to the Casus, it was the Merrick's physical size and strength that made them such a favorite of the Casus's, their deaths providing a greater rush of power and pleasure than many of the other species. The original Merrick were some of the most physically powerful of the ancient clans, and it's that strength that gives their awakening bloodlines the ability to face off so successfully against the Casus in battle.
Ian Buchanan, hero of 'Edge of Hunger', was terrified of releasing the Merrick and it bled upon the relationship with his heroine. How will his sister, Saige, handle her own darkness within and the releasing of the Merrick?
Unlike Ian, Saige has always been a believer, and so she faces the awakening of her inner Merrick in a completely different manner than her eldest brother. Saige has devoted her entire life to learning as much as she can about the Merrick, fully prepared to embrace her destiny when the time comes. She knows that feeding from a lover won't kill him, and she's prepared to do so…when she finds the right man. Although she's smart enough to understand the dangers that now surround her, she doesn't fear her awakening on a personal level in the way that her brothers do. Instead, her fear comes from what she suspects the awakening of the Merrick bloodlines will mean for the world, since it also means the return of the Casus.
Little has been revealed about Quinn, Saige's hero in 'Edge of Danger', other than the fact that he's a shape-shifter and he works for the Consortium. Can you give us any hints about his character and Saige's impact on him?
Like many of his friends, Quinn is a man with a past that continues to haunt him. Without giving too much away, I can tell you that he's spent the past five years doing his best to shut himself down emotionally. When he meets Saige, it's like being shocked back to life, and he finds himself torn between a desperate craving for closeness with her, and the fear of what he'll become if he allows himself to lower his guard. He knows that it would be madness to fall for the female Merrick—and yet, his need for her is unlike anything he's ever experienced. Although he does everything he can to ignore the driving needs of his body, giving her the cold shoulder proves impossible, even for a man as shut down as Quinn. He is like a wild animal who's been chained by his own distrustful nature and fear of being hurt, who suddenly finds the key to his freedom in the last place he expects to make such a stunning discovery. Saige's fiery, tempestuous nature is the perfect antidote to Quinn's stifled emotional state, making it impossible for him to keep his distance. He's a man who wants desperately to love and be loved, but is afraid of making himself vulnerable…until he discovers that instead of a weakness, his love for Saige is actually his greatest strength. I had such a wonderful time with Quinn's character, and I really hope you guys will love him as much as I do!
The Consortium is a very secretive organization charged with watching and the collection of data on paranormal activity throughout the world. While it played a fairly significant role in 'Edge of Hunger' there still seemed to be a lot that has yet to be unveiled. Due to the fact that Quinn is a member, will 'Edge of Danger' be exploring more of the Consortium's purposes?
I've tried to make it so that each book reveals a bit more about the world of the ancient clans, so readers will definitely learn more about the Consortium with each installment. In Book 2, more is revealed about the interaction between the Watchmen and the Consortium, as well as the Collective Army, whose mission it is to hunt down and kill those who aren't human. We also learn that Quinn's Watchmen unit has been put under judicial review by the Consortium for choosing to interfere in the brewing war between the awakening Merrick and the Casus. As the series continues, the Watchmen will be forced to take a closer look at their relationship with the Consortium and make some important decisions about the future of their organization.
Congratulations on contracting three more books in the Primal Instinct series! And once again they'll be releasing back to back starting April 2010. What will be the focus of these next installments?
Thanks! I'm thrilled to say that the next trilogy is going to continue the series with stories about the Watchmen. I'm currently working on Book 4, which is shape-shifter Aiden Shrader's story, and the title is TOUCH OF SEDUCTION. Book 5 will be Kierland Scott's story, and Book 6 will be about his brother Kellan. Not only do we see more of the shape-shifters in this trilogy, but we also meet the Granger brothers, who are Deschanel vampires, and I'm getting such a kick out of their characters. ;) As the fight against the Casus intensifies, there is also a new evil creeping out of the shadows, its intent to not only destroy the Watchmen…but to spread the war across each of the clans. I'm hoping to have some more information about the trilogy up at my website in the next few months, so I hope everyone will stop by when they have the time. There's going to be a Cast of Characters and a Glossary of Terms posted for the series, along with some special sneak peeks into Aiden's story. I hope you guys will enjoy them! :)
And before I go, I just want to give a big THANKS to VampFanGirl for inviting me to stop by! I had a wonderful time!!!
All the best,
A BIG thank you again to Rhyannon for taking the time to answer all my questions. If you'd like more information on her wonderful Primal Instinct Series you can visit Rhyannon at her website HERE.

Back Cover Blurb:
Sheriff Riley Buchanan is a good man…but a man possessed. Plagued by vicious and uncontrollable impulses, he lives in fear of surrendering to real love. Even after years apart, he still craves one woman, Hope Summers, above all others, and will do anything to protect her from harm—even tempt fate.
Hope is a woman with her own secrets. For months she has eluded her abusive ex-husband, a ruthless creature who won't rest until Hope and her kind are destroyed. Hope's fantasies are still haunted by Riley, the one man who might help her, and the man whose searing touch she cannot forget. But surrendering to their long-denied passion could mean the destruction of everything they hold dear….

Mastitis is often used interchangeably with the term breast infection, but mastitis may also be due to an inflammation. Often a reddened area is noted on the breast. Inflammatory or infectious mastitis may develop for reasons similar to those for plugged duct development, and the same interventions usually are helpful.
It is especially important to keep the affected breast "empty" through frequent breastfeeding. If you develop flu-like symptoms or your temperature increases to 100.4° F or higher, call your physician. An antibiotic probably will be prescribed for 10 to 14 days. Be sure you take the entire course of the medication or you may experience a recurrence.

Mayor Williams Calls Budget Amendments Unconstitutional; Considers Budget Veto
Posted on 05/15/2013 4:06 pm
Mayor Dennis P. Williams believes the City Council Finance Committee's proposed amendments to the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget are potentially unconstitutional; and the arbitrary cuts may adversely impact City services. The Williams Administration worked diligently to propose a budget with no property tax increase, no layoffs, no cuts to public safety and no reduction in City services.
"It is no easy task to avoid a projected 15% property tax increase and layoffs, but I am determined not to place that burden on our citizens and employees," said Mayor Williams. "Council's proposal initiates a layoff by eliminating the currently occupied Deputy Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation position."
This unprecedented action is believed to overstep Council's legislative boundaries, as it is an encroachment into responsibilities specifically vested within the executive branch.
"The hypocrisy of deleting this position is in direct contrast to Council's stated goal and commitment to youth," said Chief of Staff, John R. Matlusky. "The position is critical to departmental operations, particularly those targeted to address the needs of the young people."
Mayor Williams was also perplexed by Council's request to add $250,000 to their budget for unspecified programs. According to City Solicitor, Michael P. Migliore, under the doctrine of separation of powers, the legislative branch makes laws and appropriates funding, while the executive branch has the responsibility for administering the funds. This action could be unconstitutional.
"Frankly, I have concerns about an unspecified Council-controlled fund that will be administered by Council," said Mayor Williams.
Matlusky further asserts Council's request for a quarter-million dollars for unspecified programs nearly matches the $300,000 held in contingency, for emergency and unforeseen expenditures for the entire City. He suggests a vague pot of money with no accountability could be likened to a slush fund.
In response to their request for a Council-controlled fund, the Administration proposed a compromise which moves $55,000 to Council's budget for grants, with the remaining $195,000 ($15,000 per Council Member) to be assigned in the appropriate City departments for programs and initiatives to service their specific districts. This proposal was rejected by Council by the Finance Committee.
"As further demonstration of the Mayor's willingness to compromise, the proposed $20,884 in salary adjustments for appointed staff have been removed," said Matlusky.
"My administration has made every effort to compromise and we remain open to continued discussion; however, Council's proposed budget, would leave me no option but to veto," said Mayor Williams. "I believe that members of Council have the best interests of our citizens, and that we will find common ground for the benefit of those we serve."

TUCSON - Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Fred Harvey is in Moscow and he is keeping a blog of sorts to keep people updated on the happenings at the 2013 IAAF World Championships. Tuesday marked the fourth day of competition. The final day is August 18th.
Due to his busy schedule, Harvey was able to post a blog on Monday but not on Tuesday.
"Day three was not a great Wildcat Day here in Russia. However, receiving the news today regarding the passing of one of my good friends Dave Sitton, what happened here was devastating, but it was just a race! I would like to take a day/moment for all Dave's family, friends, colleagues, and Wildcats everywhere to reflect on our great friend!"
Former Wildcat Georganne Moline competed in the first round of the 400-meter hurdles on Monday, the third day of competition. She posted a time of 59.05 and finished in 29th place overall. Moline tripped and fell over the eighth hurdle.
"Yeah today stunk," Moline said. "But my season isn't over, keep your eyes out for me because I'm not done just yet."
On Tuesday, the fourth day of competition, former Wildcat Edgar Rivera-Morales competed in the preliminary round of the men's high jump in his Mexico uniform. He cleared 7-3.25 (2.22m) and finished in 22nd place overall, failing to make the final.
Volunteer assistant coach Bernard Lagat ran in the preliminary round of the men's 5K on Tuesday and clocked a time of 13:23.59. That time was good for sixth place overall and a spot in the final. He is the only athlete with Wildcat ties to make a final thus far. The final will begin at 8:45 p.m. on Aug. 16 in Moscow. In MST, the race is set to go off at 9:45 a.m. on the same day.
The qualification round of the men's long jump will begin at 10:25 a.m. on Aug. 14. In MST, it will start at 11:25 p.m. on Aug. 13. Luis Rivera-Morales, the brother of Edgar, will represent Mexico in that competition. He currently holds the No.1 mark in the world this year.

Associate Professor
Primary Department Affiliation: Pathology
Primary Research Area: Neurodegeneration and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Recent Publications
Dr. Zhang graduated from University of Science and Technology of China. She received her PhD from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas in 1991. She then worked as a postdoctoral associate in the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research from 1991 to 1995. Before joining UAB, she worked as a Research Assistant Professor in University of Cincinnati College of Medicine from 1996 to 2005.
Excessive stimulation of glutamate receptors induces neuronal cell death during development, as well as in patients with epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, ischemia, hypoglycemia, and various neurodegenerative diseases. How activation of glutamate receptors and subsequent calcium influx initiate intracellular signaling, alter gene expression, and turn on cell death machineries in response to developmental and environmental cues is unclear. We are using both in vivo and in vitro models to identify signaling pathways that mediate or protect against excitotoxicity to eventually help design better strategies for prevention and treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common age-related movement disorder and the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD currently affects more than 500,000 people in the US, and the total financial cost to the nation is estimated to exceed $6 billion per year. Five to 10 percent of PD is early-onset and often inherited, some of these resulting from known genetic mutations in alpha-synuclein, Parkin, DJ-1, PINK1, or DRDN. PD neuropathology includes two main features: a) accumulation of Lewy bodies that consist largely of ubiquitin and alpha-synuclein aggregates in affected neurons, and b) progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The objective of our research is to identify environmental and genetic triggers for Lewy body formation and dopaminergic neuron death, and ultimately identify strategies for prevention and treatment of PD.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Duff The colors in this chair are so gorgeous! I bought this to tie in with my green couches, and I am so happy I did! The colors are so nice in this chair--there are a variety of different colors that complement this pattern and color scheme. It is pretty comfortable to sit in, and if you are looking to brighten up a room a bit for spring, this is a great addition. April 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AidensMomm23 Loving it!!!! I've been waiting for MONTHS for this chair to go on sale (only way my hubby would buy it for me lol) and finally it did! Got it for $119.99 and it was worth every penny. I have received so many compliments on it. It is the perfect accent chair to my chocolate brown couches. Easy assembly of the legs took maybe 5 minutes. It's nice and sturdy and the colors are pretty true to the picture. It's one of the rare occasions that the picture is true to the item. February 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Krista Great Looking Chair! The colors of the chair are true to the picture and it was just what I needed to tie my color scheme together. I purchased it on sale in the store, so it was a great buy. The instructions recommend that you have 2 people to assemble the chair, but I put it together by myself in minutes. The "assembly" consists of attaching the legs, which is quite simple to do. The chair is quite sturdy and comfortable. I highly recommend! November 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JSaner Perfect Chair! Found this chair on the website and got it from the store. It is an incredible value. We were looking at a different chair from a popular national chain store, and it was more than twice as much as this chair, but nowhere near the quality. The fabric is durable, the only assembly required is screwing the legs into place, the chair itself is very comfortable and sturdy. The colors aren't quite as bright in person as they are in the picture, but even so it is an incredibly beautiful piece of furniture. The background of the pattern is a little more silvery beige than the brighter white in the picture. Highly recommend it! September 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Heather great accent chair this is a great "accent" chair. the colors are a little less vibrant than the picture shows but are still beautiful, and the chair is very comfortable. just wished the chair was a little taller, but overall a great purchase! March 16, 2013

4GB Fuze vs 4GB Clip
So I've owned a wide range of players over the years from many different manufacturers (iriver, apple, creative, sandisk, microsoft), and since their release my fiancee and I have both been using the 8GB Zune. My frustration with the zune is that I have issues using the control pad while in my car. Clicking down on the button tends to result in a directional move and a click, changing albums/artists I didn't want, etc. My fiancee has issues with the Zune software as well, it doesn't bother me as much, but since she's got a folder sorted setup with a lot of missing tags, the Zune has been a headache.
After much research on sites like abi, I decided to give Sandisk another go, as it seems they've done a lot to step up their SQ and seem to be making use of the feedback provided on their forums. My decision was down to the Fuze or the Clip, neither of us watch video, I listen to more podcasts as well as music.
Well, Best Buy kinda made my decision for me as they only had the Clip in stock, so I figured I'd start with that one. I like the size, adding music has been smooth, firmware updated easily with the ABI link to the download (thanks!), and the SQ is much better than the Zune when connected to my car stereo. My biggest frustration is that I can't see the screen in the car. Even when stopped I have to move it closer than where it sits near the center console. When I took it home, my fiancee told me she felt it was too small and she would probably lose it.
I had planned to get her a Fuze anyways, but now I'm thinking maybe I should use a Fuze in the car as well. My biggest problem with that is with the standard USB on the Clip I can charge it using my car charger for my cell phone, whereas that won't be an option with the Fuze.
Anyways, long story short...I didn't see any comparison between the fuze and clip despite them being offered in a similar size. I'm curious if any previous clip owners made the step up and how they feel about it. I have a Sandisk I bought over a year ago (e280 I think) and I HATE the fonts on the menus...how hard would it be to switch to an anti-alias font, seriously Sandisk. It looks like the Fuze is the same way, but nobody has them in stock so I haven't been able to check. If someone could comment on the UI look that might help me out as well.
For now I'm going to enjoy using the Clip, and before my return period is up I'll decide if I'd be better off with the Fuze...if only it could have had a standard USB port this would be so easy. And don't get me wrong, I understand the proprietary port for docks and the like, that just isn't something I personally make use of.

Well I have 2 Clips (1GB & 2GB), an old C250 I rockboxed, and most recently got an 8GB Fuze (w/2GB microSD), and I can offer up my own opinions on your situation:
I use my Clips mainly for exercising and walking to and from my day job. I use my Fuze to provide setbreak music at my night job (I'm a live sound tech), as well as for personal listening at home. All players I have are for strictly music, no video.
I had been really happy with the sound quality of the Clip (still am), but the two things that really bothered me about the player were the poor quality of the shuffle feature on the Clip (hopefully fixed with the next firmware update), as well as the relatively small storage capacities. I can relate to your fiancee as well, I've lost my 1GB Clip twice so far....
The Fuze is a perfect fit for me. Shuffle is exactly what I expect and need (i.e. a randomized playlist, you can't be playing setbreak music in a bar and having the same song playing 3 times in 20 minutes). The expandable/swappable storage option is really great for me as well. I just look at it as having an 8GB player with swappable storage and better sound quality than my girlfriend's Nano 3G for less money .
I too am disappointed by the proprietary data port on the Fuze, but I have seen that the Fuze supports audio out using the Sansa View's A/V cable (no video though), so I have a suspicion that most any older accessory using the Sansa post is supported, including the car chargers. Just depends on how much more money you're willing to spend, I guess.
My experience with the Fuze's screen in direct sunlight makes me think it may not be much better for you in that respect than the Clip. It's still hard to see. Also, the screen has a tendency to scratch a bit easier than I'd hoped, and I'm not that hard on it. I just need a skin for it... soon.
I really don't pay much attention to fonts and all that, but I do think that SanDisk really needs to rethink their user interface. I'm just biding my time for a Rockbox port for the Sansa v2 chips really.....
I guess for my needs, having both a Clip and a Fuze is an ideal situation, especially considering the price of both players. Of course your mileage may vary.
Sansa C250 v1 (Rockboxed)
Sansa Clip 1GB
Sansa Clip 2GB
Sansa Fuze 8GB
Right... Clip for Quick, Fuze for all the rest
I use my Clip for the gym and anytime I think I might be beating the crap out of my mp3 player. I upgraded from an e250 to the Fuze and I'm kind of sorry I waited. Better SQ, the interface is so much snappier and I like the redone control dial. If I had to buy just one, it would be the Fuze, though. My battery life is sooooo mych worse on my Clip than anything else I've ever used. In the end, the Fuzeis just too much player for so little cash. Then when you find $45 laying around, grab a clip for throw away.

Friday Fun
Submitted by 303admin on
Riding a Cruiser Bike Across America
A serious fun item to start off this Friday, I'm sure you have heard of the DailyCamera's "Out There Guy". Well now he has embarked on a big challenge, to ride his cruiser bike across America! Why is he doing it? Read this from the Community Cycles website!
This summer, I'm taking the Duzer Cruzer on it's longest ride ever! I'll be sportin a New Belgium cruiser bike that will take me from the Oceanside California to Washington D.C. I'm raising money for Community Cycles along with spreading good bike cheer along the way. My motto for this ride is, "If I can ride a three speed cruiser across America, more people can ride to the grocery store and leave their cars behind. I'm also working with the America League of Bicyclists and stopping in bike friendly cities along the way. Hooray for bikes!
You can follow his progress across America at http://ryanvanduzer.com/
Yehuda Moon is back!
After taking off a few months the author is back with his daily cycling comic strip!

Thanks to all who offered advice, and especially to Zoom6Zoom who sent me the original PDF files from Lichtenberg Research. They helped a ton!!!!!!!
Here is the progress so far:
Bent up a piece of .050 mild steel that I cut out the rough opening for the 2XTM magwell prior to bending. (I use a Tapco flat as a template, and scribe onto the plain sheet metal.) Trimmed to rough size, bent the top rails in a hydraulic knife edged type bender at work. drilled pilot holes everywhere I needed them, cut out for magwell, pistol grip nut, and trigger so I could put it in my poor mans jig. Set the outer die spacing for the .050 flat, and bent it up, nice and square, with great corners. I was worried about how well it would turn out with the large magwell cutout and not being able to use the forward most bolt through the inner clamping die on the bending jig. It turned out great!!!!!! Temp installed the magwell with 2 8-32 screws in the aft holes for the front trunnion. In general it fits good. It will still need lots of trimming and fitting once I have a couple of Suomi drum mags to start fit checking. I went ahead and finished drilling up the receiver, temp installed the center support, double checked the FCG fit, selector lever, top cover, etc.... It all looks great.
I mocked up a few parts on it just to get an idea of what it will look like. This is by no means the furniture that will go on it. I haven't decided on that yet. It's just there because it was the closest items at hand.
Crap tried to load a pic and it's too big!! Will post a pic as soon as I can resize it.

Adam Lee has launched a petition I hope all my godless readers will sign. In fact I hope you will encourage as many godless friends and colleagues as you can to sign, to show how many of us support women in our movement and oppose the abuse and harassment of them that is going on from a very vocal minority of appalling atheists. See Petition: Support Feminism and Diversity in the Secular Community for the full explanation and link, or go directly to the petition at Change.org: The Leaders of Atheist, Skeptical and Secular Groups: Support Feminism and Diversity in the Secular Community.
Why is this needed? As Lee well puts it:
We, the undersigned, are atheists, skeptics and nonbelievers who value free speech and rational thought and who seek to build a strong, thriving movement that can advocate effectively for these values. We've chosen to put our names to this petition because we want to respond to a video created by a blogger calling himself Thunderfoot. In this video, Thunderfoot attacks named individuals who've been active in promoting diversity and fighting sexism and harassment in our movement. He describes these people as "whiners" and "ultra-PC professional victims" who are "dripp[ing] poison" into the secular community, and urges conference organizers to shun and ignore them.
We hold this and similar complaints from other individuals to be seriously misguided, false in their particulars and harmful to the atheist community as a whole, and we want to set the record straight. We wish to clarify that Thunderfoot and those like him don't speak for us or represent us, and to state our unequivocal support for the following goals: We support making the atheist movement more diverse and inclusive. … We support strong, sensible anti-harassment policies at our gatherings. … We support the people in our community who've been the target of bullying, harassment and threats. … [And we want] to put a stop to this bad behavior once and for all [by] chang[ing] the culture of the atheist movement…
As of this posting, his petition is approaching 1700 signatories, and I want to see it go as high as possible, so we know how many atheists in our movement have our back, and how many of us these horrible bad apples of atheism are offending. I want to know how alone I am in this, or how supported I am. I want to see where our movement is going: their way, or ours.
Please go sign that petition now. Then come back to read on. Unless you are still not convinced you should bother. In that case read on first, and then see how you feel.
What You Need to Know
I've written about this issue before, of course. I brought up the rising sexism and abuse women are facing within the atheism movement in The New Atheism+ and why that behavior is in conflict with what should be our core values of reasonableness, integrity, and compassion. And then in Being with or against Atheism+ I explained further what the movement is that this term is a name for, and why no one needs to adopt the label "Atheism+" but rather "we are only at odds with those who condemn Atheism+ and its values," the values I spelled out in those two posts, and which have been embraced and furthered by its most avid activists at the resource hub AtheismPlus.com.
In short, you don't have to call yourself a "member" of the A+ movement to be welcome by it, or to support it. We only hope you will occasionally speak out in defense of its values and goals and against those who slander it and lie about it and attack and abuse anyone who actively promotes it. Because if you don't speak out, they treat that as endorsement and an encouragement to continue.
Attack of the Antifeminists
The Atheism+ movement itself existed long before it was named. It had been growing for a couple of years until Jen McCreight gave it a name (Atheism+, meaning Atheism plus a core set of basic humanist values and goals and a skepticism applied to everyone, even ourselves). Once it was named, of course, then it could be attacked. It could be mocked and denounced. Lies could be told about it. Its advocates could be digitally harassed (or worse). I see all of that as an attempt to take away power from the movement the same way Christians do by lying about what "atheism" means or what "secular humanism" is: they slander these terms and build absurd straw men out of them in an attempt to make them unpopular, so no one will go and see what they are really all about. Now, atheists themselves are doing this to their own. Atheists are acting like Christians.
The same has long been done to "feminism," and now those tactics are being picked up and used by organized atheists to attack feminism the same way the Tea Party does. Indeed they do this the same way Christians do with the term "atheism." They pick absurd caricatures and extremists (e.g., Stalin) and then claim all atheism is that or that's what atheism inevitably leads to. The antifeminists in the atheist movement are doing the same thing, picking absurd caricatures and extremists (e.g., Dworkin) and then claim all feminism is that or that's what feminism inevitably leads to. (See "straw feminist" in the TV Tropes Wiki and the excellent video on same.)
They are so successful at this they even convince women to declare they are not feminists, thus declaring themselves against their own rights and interests, because they think it leads to absurd ends like that, when in fact, all feminism is "is simply the belief that women should be treated as fairly as men" and the reason it exists is that women often aren't, even in ways they might not be aware of: see my explanation in Why I Am a Feminist for Taslima Nasrin and my further discussion in Why I Am a Feminist on my own blog.
Hostility to Atheism+ is often born of the same seed. By trying to make it impossible to give a respectable name to what we are doing, haters are trying to interfere with our ability to promote and organize in defense of our values and aims. This is fundamentally irrational, rather immoral (in its dishonesty as well as its ruthless disinterest in the welfare and feelings of others), and embarrassing to atheism as a whole.
Ironically, these antifeminists use the same tactics to try and straw-man and belittle our movement by calling us a "cult" and saying we are the ones behaving like Christians. How are we behaving like Christians? By taking a stand on moral issues and expecting our fellow human beings to adopt basic humanist moral values and denounce those who won't. Which means they think atheism should be thoroughly amoral and devoid of values. They ironically are thus denouncing humanism. Which, most ironically of all, makes them into the very people Christians attack all atheism for creating: immoral people who denounce the very idea of moral values or standards (denouncing it even as "religion," the irony of ironies, considering that atheists used to denounce religion for its moral failings, not for its agreeable moral standards).
Atheism+ is not like a religion, not least because it embraces nothing supernatural, but also because its epistemology is not at all faith-based but entirely responsive to reason (as in, arguments devoid of logical fallacies) and evidence (as in, actual documentable facts), and it does not embrace "authorities" (we have no Popes) but only "arguments" (we side with those who argue well, meaning those who make logically valid arguments from well-evidenced premises). In other words, it is far more like science and philosophy than cults or churches. When it comes to what we should believe, including what we should believe about how we should behave, we expect people to be reasonable and persuaded by sound arguments. Nothing more.
In other words, Atheism+ is just atheism + skepticism + humanism. Why anyone would have a problem with that quite astonishes me.
A Lot of Sexism …
…until I realized what might really be driving this atheist-movement antifeminism. Apparently, there are a lot of closet sexists (and a few closet racists), and generally all around mean people, who of course swear up and down they are no such thing. But their actions expose them. That their beliefs, even about themselves, are not in alignment with reality is pretty much the same kind of delusionality we see from Christians, who purport to believe in loving their neighbor, then go balls out trying to hurt their neighbors (with covertly sexist and racist political policies, and overtly homophobic ones, for example). We now have enough atheists in our movement behaving in exactly the same way to become a visible problem.
For a really good exposure of the delusional state of these people, see Michael Nugent's analysis of Thunderf00t's Inflammatory Video of Misleading Personal Attacks on Atheist Feminists (which video also inspired Lee to finally say enough is enough and start a petition against this disturbing trend). Nugent shows how Thunderf00t's argument, which has a large following and which typifies views I know to have been voiced or approved by hundreds of atheists on the internet (and thus not a crank handful), is based on wanton distortions of the facts and gross fallacies–in fact, a lot like the way creationists attack evolution.
Indeed, these atheist antifeminists seem quite committed to irrationality, while ironically insisting they are the only rational ones (a lot like Christian apologists). See Lilandra's excellent exposure of this fact (while in the process demonstrating the nature and extent of sexism in our movement and how insidiously it thinks it's not sexist) in The Foundational Oft-Repeated Fallacies of Sexism Deniers (in that case analyzing the comments following Thunderf00t's video, although I can vouch for the fact that the same nonsense appears in dozens of other atheist venues as well). If this kind of irrationality is not destructive to atheism, I don't know what is. Relying on obviously fallacious arguments to attack and hurt their own people, in defiance of a commitment to truth, honesty or logic, is what destroyed religion. Let's not allow the same thing to happen to organized atheism, the only alternative there is to religion.
This faction isn't just persistently irrational, it's also characterized by a certain disregard for basic moral values. They have even come to the point of mocking cancer survivors and rape victims. And those are instances from women, so it's not just men who are enabling this antifeminist cabal; the same tactics women have long used to attack feminism and put down their fellow women is evident now even in our movement, like attacking the fact that women need to shop for clothes, by twisting facts to suit their own outrageous narrative (see The Absurd Manufactured Shoe Controversy). That's the kind of people they are. Are these the kind of people you want populating and leading the atheism movement? Are these the kind of people you want to hang out with?
A movement without moral standards, without any sense of kindness or perspective or courtesy, is doomed. You can't claim atheists are good people, and then denounce any and every effort to make them good. Thus, when these antifeminists claim that the advocates for human decency are the ones being divisive and destroying atheism, know what they are really saying: they do not want atheists to be good people, or atheism to be known as a movement for the good of society. They want atheism to be amoral and valueless, without standards of any kind. They will deny that. But that is the consequence of what they are arguing.
Greta Christina already exposed the joke of them calling us divisive last year. No, they are the divisive ones, making women and minorities feel unwelcome, and attacking anyone who makes an effort to welcome them. See, again, Some Thoughts on Divisiveness. If you hadn't read that already.
… and A Little Bit of Racism?
I also think that some of these antifeminists have attitudes that might be a little bit racist. Not that they're white supremacists, mind you. They aren't actively believing in the inferiority of other races, or actively trying to harm them or curtail their rights. But rather, they are holding onto their own privileged white status, by tooth and claw, and belittling or dismissing the interests of other races, even denying that any inadvertent, latent, or institutional racism exists (or if admitting it, showing no concern about it). I don't think most of those who do this realize this is what they are doing. I think if they did, many of them would rethink it.
Those few who do it more consciously closet this even more, of course, because no one can become popular being openly racist the way they can by being openly antifeminist (alas, thereby proving that women as a whole still in some ways have it worse than racial minorities, even in America). The one is "acceptable," the other is not. I want to see both become equally unacceptable. This does not mean antifeminism constitutes any criticism of feminism. Not only can such criticism be worthwhile and productive, but feminists themselves have been actively doing if for over a century. Rather, antifeminism is about distorting facts and logic in an attempt to denounce feminism itself. The next step will be, of course, the same as racism: to insist one is not a racist, but then say and do racist things and defend them as "not really racist." Possibly honestly believing it's not. I've seen the same two-step danced for antifeminism; I no longer assume it's always deliberate. Sometimes people just don't realize what they are doing when they avoid confronting something they might be doing wrong.
Hence the racism I see is often unintentional, latent in the oft-voiced rejection of the expansion of interest in our movement (meaning in our conferences and organizations and media) to issues of social justice and other broader concerns that are often the actual needs and interest of minority groups, especially racial minorities. Our movement has been largely white, predominately because it was only interested in "white people's problems," and thus uninterested in anyone else's (and thus not attracting their interest in turn). Things like UFOs, Big Foot, homeopathy, and pseudoscience as a whole on the one end, and theology and other esoteric matters of history and philosophy on the other end, are not unimportant, but they are the luxuries of people who don't have to worry so much about crime or poverty or such things as subtle institutional racism or economic injustice.
To now adamantly insist that organized atheism and skepticism should not concern itself with those matters, is itself covertly or unintentionally racist in its attitude. It is exclusionary of the interests of other races, placing the interests of white people first; and it is dismissive of the often far more serious problems caused by the racial divide, the battles other races are fighting in this country. We care a lot about discrimination against atheists, but not so much about discrimination against black atheists or Hispanic atheists. We care a lot about creationism in schools (and often only in schools with lots of white kids in them), but don't show as much interest in the quality of schools generally (such as in predominately black or Hispanic neighborhoods). That can change. It obviously should change. We should be talking to those and other groups and finding out what we can do to bring them into our fold and show them we have their back, every bit as much as we want them to have ours.
We face the same reality as the Republican party, whose deaf ear to the concerns of minorities is hurting its ability to influence the public, when in fact if they gave more of a damn, they could grow their movement instead of dooming it to shrink. Even in America, whites will soon be a minority; and America isn't the only gigantic nation on a pathway to global success. Moreover, if atheism is good for people, it ought to be good for racial minorities as well. We should want to spread the movement into their neighborhoods. But doing that requires caring about the things that they regard as important targets of skepticism and religious criticism. And that requires, in turn, finding out what that is. Which requires, in turn, actually talking to them.
Two really excellent articles on this issue you will want to read are Kate Donovan's No True Scotsman, Atheists, & Apathy and Heina Dadabhoy's Deep Rifts: A Fairy Tale, especially the comments section there, where Heina develops further a lot of the ideas intended by her brief "lesson-by-fairy-tale" that comprises the post itself. Dadabhoy concludes:
A separation between social justice issues and rest of the concerns of skepticism is the luxury of those who do not belong to a group that has been — and indeed, some that still very much are — marginalized by skepticism. The struggles have been obvious and painful to many of us long before they became readily apparent to everyone else. While I (and everyone else, likely) wish the changes could have happened with less vitriol, they've still made skepticism a better place for more and more people by, among other things, thoroughly dispelling any false notion that skepticism (and atheism) are the exclusive province of white men. Since when was more of what we all claim to hold dear a bad thing?
Her "fairy tales" (in effect, parables) also capture how things look from from the perspective of many women, too (and not just other races), and understanding how things look from that perspective is essential to understanding why Atheism+ is important, and why being dismissive of it (much less mocking of it) is out of touch with reality–and, ultimately, a little racist (even if unintentionally), insofar as it insists on only seeing the world from the perspective of white men and refusing to even admit that things might look quite differently to atheists who are neither.
Why Has This Problem Grown?
Where did this more wanton sexism and more subtle racism come from? I don't think it's because atheism has grown these people, or that atheism especially attracts them. I think it's just the inevitable mathematics of growth. The movement of organized atheism has grown so amazingly over the last ten years that amoral minorities once invisible are now visible.
Imagine 1 in 1000 atheists has always been a sexist douchebag who is happy to abuse and harass women in the movement that they perceive to be too uppity (or who digitally high-fives those who do). When the movement was only 10,000 strong, there would have been only 10 of them. Too few to feel safe being vocal or to organize themselves against the majority. But grow the whole movement to a 1,000,000 strong and now there are 1,000 sexist douchebags, enough to organize, defend and commiserate with each other, pat each other on the back, run their own web venues, and barrage comments sections with dozens or even hundreds of attack posts (often with disgusting sexual mockery).
Thus, even if nothing has changed with respect to the rate of sexism among atheists, our growth has made sexists among us more visible and more powerful. They can now chase women out of the movement whom they perceive as too "feminist" or "vocal," just by their shear numbers and the incredible volume of harassment it can produce. Obviously their cognitive dissonance prevents them from admitting that what they are doing is sexist. But it is.
Fortunately Atheism+ May Be Winning
In terms of what's actually happening, though, I see the goals and values of Atheism+ slowly becoming the norm in organized atheism. More and more conferences are featuring talks and speakers on issues related to feminism, economics, and social justice, and on being as critical of our own people and institutions as we expect anyone to be of religious people and institutions. They are adopting harassment policies, showing greater concern for making everyone who attends feel welcome (and not just white men), and inviting more and more women and minority speakers. And now major national organizations are becoming interested in how to build membership by appealing to more women and minorities, precisely the point of Atheism+. See, for example, How Organizations Can Improve Movement Diversity.
The debate between Sam Harris and Sean Faircloth over gun control policy is an example of expanding our interest beyond just talking about god and homeopathy all the time. I personally think both Harris and Faircloth are wrong (and both somewhat ignore the perspectives of non-whites; see, for example, the comments of our own Frederick Sparks), but it is precisely by applying our belief in purging logical fallacies and getting the facts straight that we could come closer to informing the public about what the options are and which option might perhaps generate the best results. Because that's important. And atheists have the better tools to do it: it is precisely only our movement that is committed to making decisions not on faith-based principles or dogmas or traditions or folk logic but on science, evidence, and logical reason, with a commitment to avoiding fallacies and cognitive biases, and a deep-seated love for the truth and the welfare of humanity.
Atheists should be having these debates. And they should be doing even better at it than this. Bad science or philosophy about matters of social justice is surely more harmful than bad science or philosophy about drugs or dowsing rods or the coherence of the trinity. And contrary to the argument that "atheism is not a thing," and thus can't have values or goals, in point of fact atheism is a thing, a very huge and growing one: atheism is an identity movement with hundreds of local, national, and international organizations and dozens of annual conferences worldwide, potentially counting over three million self-identifying members in the U.S. alone (if we count everyone who spontaneously identifies as an "atheist" in polls). We have the skills, the venues, and the active members to care about things and apply our reasoning and our skepticism and our distinctly nonreligious worldviews to the problems and questions of the world.
Surely that would be a good use of some of the atheist movement's time and resources. But we shouldn't have to waste time combating sexism and latent racism in our own ranks. We shouldn't have to put up with these harassment campaigns against our best and brightest women. Don't let them get away with it. Please join in the social condemnation of their attitudes and behavior. Make it clear that they are the bad guys, and that their behavior will not win over the movement or even be welcome in it. Please sign the Lee petition.
Note to the inevitable you-know-whos: to save loads and loads of my time, because of the way comments sections on Atheism+ posts get bombarded by inept or deliberately derailing remarks, I may not respond to comments that violate any of three basic commonsense rules, except to issue stock responses as follows (though I will still allow through moderation all posts that do not violate my comments policy). If I answer with YDNRTP, that means You Did Not Read the Post (your claim is either answered or refuted in or by this post already, and therefore requires no further comment; if you want to know why, read the damn post). If I answer with YFW, that means Your Facts are Wrong (you have made a claim about something that happened that isn't true, and if you bothered to check into what actually happened, you would discover this; it's not my job to lead you by the hand, it's your responsibility to find out what the facts are: go do that). If I answer with YRF, that means Your Reasoning is Fallacious (your conclusion does not follow even from your own premises, and I don't have the time to explain this to you; so go back and rethink what you said; if you still can't figure out how your argument is fallacious, I can't imagine how I can help you out of your delusional thinking by anything I bother to say, so please just leave me alone and find somewhere else to stew). If I answer with NWIS, that means Not What I Said (you should go back and re-read what I said and try to figure out what it meant that was not what you thought I said; then respond, if at all, to what I actually said). Finally, if I answer with BN, that means Bored Now (you are just wasting everyone's time with your irrational or factless ranting and your attempts to troll my blog are just boring me).

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- Led by Chris Wisler's third-place finish (68-75-71--214/-2), the men's golf team finished second at the Furman Intercollegiates in Greenville, S.C. The Bucs (282-300-296--878) were tied for the lead heading into the final round with eventual tournament champion Virginia (287-295-294--876), but fell two strokes short.
Wisler finished five strokes behind Maryland's Keith Unikel and Virginia's James Driscoll who tied with a three-round 209. Unikel won the individual medal in a playoff. Patrick Beste (71-71-75--217) earned the Bucs other top-5 finish, tying for fifth with Virginia's Steve Marino.
Also competing for ETSU was Adam Riddering (69-78-76--223/T-19) and Thomas Lee (74-76-74--224/T25).
ETSU will return to action at the Bell South Intercollegiate in Raleigh, N.C. from April 14-15.

Big day out ... Zara Phillips. Photo: Getty Images
BRIGHT colours and big, bold hats were out in force at Saturday's Magic Millions Myer Fashions on the Field at the Gold Coast Turf Club.
Georgia Gardiner, 21, took out the best-dressed prize in a neon orange lace Shakuhachi dress and a self-made straw hat. Ms Gardiner, from Elanora, said she was thrilled to take out the prize, which included a trip for two to Paris.
''I'm completely overwhelmed,'' she said.

The Queen's granddaughter and Magic Millions Racing Women ambassador, Zara Phillips, presented the trophy to Ms Gardiner and liked the fashion she saw.
''Everyone looks amazing, just incredible. I thought everyone was very creative,'' she said. Ms Phillips wore a Morrison print silk dress and Melissa Jackson headpiece. The fashions impressed Ms Phillips but the racing side of things was more important to the 31-year-old. ''My role as ambassador is to try to involve more women in racing and not just the fashion'' she said.
While thousands flocked to the track on Saturday, the hot ticket was the Moet & Chandon VIP marquee, which played host to an array of celebrities including surfing world champion Joel Parkinson, model Kris Smith, former Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell, model Samantha Harris and Queensland Reds rugby star Quade Cooper.

Seven hundred bottles of champagne, 7000 prawns and 700 kilograms of wagyu steak were on offer in the marquee designed by David Grant.

|Richardson claims second
JUNCTION CITY, Ore. - University of Idaho sophomore Stefan Richardson had his best collegiate tournament in finishing second at the Oregon Duck Invitational Tuesday. Richardson carded a final round 71 for a 54-hole 211 and a tie for second.
The Vandals climbed from a tie for seventh into fourth after a closing round 364 in the tournament which counts five scores instead of the standard four.
"The guys played great," coach Jon Reehoorn said. "For us to finish fourth is just great. It's a huge step in the right direction."
The Vandals took on some national heavyweights in the tournament and finished behind only No. 3 Oregon, No. 25 Oregon State and No. 33 Arkansas. Host Oregon won with a 1073 with Arkansas second at 1080, Oregon State third at 1088 and the Vandals fourth at 1101.
As for Richardson, Reehoorn was equally proud.
"That is an unbelieveable finish," Reehoorn said. "He's come a long way. I'm really proud of him. He's worked really hard on his game and it's starting to pay off."
Also for the Vandals, sophomore Jarred Bossio tied for 22nd (220), freshman Matt Rawitzer tied for 31st (222), senior David Nuhn tied for 44 (225), freshman Damian Telles tied for 63rd (228) and sophomore Chris Cho tied for 71st (230).

NYC-based electro-acoustic singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Monica Lionheart premieres her new single, "The Future," today with Giant Step. Formerly of Brooklyn-based electro duo Zigmat and vocalist for Latin alternative band Pacha Massive, Lionheart gives listeners a fun electro-pop track perfect for your summer playlist.
Monica says, "'The Future' symbolizes a vampy and fun side to my otherwise down to earth, indie form of musicianship. Having played multiple instruments of organic nature on my previous record, I figured I would create something entirely electronic."
This is the first track since her 2012 solo debut, Indian Summer. A video for "The Future" will be out soon. In the meantime, check out this making of footage below.

Don't miss the Rock Hall's 14th annual free admission day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on January 19!
For its fifth album, 1984's The Unforgettable Fire, U2 switched producers, turning from the crisp style of Steve Lillywhite to the moodier ambiance of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" was the record's most galvanizing performance, with the band wailing and Bono singing with fiery resolve. The Edge's shimmering guitar chords precede a frenetic rhythm figure; later he adds a trebly modal guitar run. But it's Larry Mullen's explosive drumming, particularly the way he drives the band into the chorus that gives the song its power. "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" is a tribute to the Rev. Martin Luther King, though it celebrates all who expound the transcendent power of non-violence. The song marked the moment U2 stepped out of Ireland to address the world at large. The band's next album, The Joshua Tree, would put the world at its feet. U2 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 by Bruce Springsteen (watch Springsteen's induction speech here). Click here to watch as Bono, bassist Adam Clayton, guitarist the Edge and drummer Larry Mullen each give acceptance speeches.

Have A Heart
This year's elegant Atlanta Heart Ball was held at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, with proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association. The evening is a celebration of the organization's work, mission, donors and volunteers, as well as the lives saved through AHA's efforts. With a theme of Picnic in Provence, French character actors performed in live vignettes as guests entered the soiree, and a lively bidding war ensued when a trip to Napa came up during the live auction. Marc O'Connor unexpectedly threw in several bottles of highly coveted and premium wine from his personal collection to sweeten the deal. Bon appetit! –Photos by Marcus Tanner

The Primrose, originally invented by Roger Bernard (see Nelpa), is a cooking unit which has been improved by Bernie Mueller of Mueller Solartechnik to be shipped as a DIY-kit. It is constructed to serve as a little kitchen with the advantages to stay in the shade and stir the food during the cooking process. The working height (91 cms (36 inches)) remains. The cooking unit Primrose resists wind and, with minor modifications, all other weather conditions. The reflector can be put up for easy storage. Once ordered, a richly illustrated multilingual manual comes with the kit.
Recent news and developments
- July 2013: As of July 22, 2013, Roger Bernard, Lyon, France, authorized Alex Kee of Johor Bahru, Malaysia, to manufacture and distribute the solar cooking unit Primrose.

Former ASU infielder and All-College World Series performer Michael Collins joins the baseball staff after retiring from his professional playing career during the off-season. Collins joins the 2007 baseball staff as an undergraduate manager as he completes his ASU degree. Collins starred in the ASU infield from 1996-98 before signing professionally with the Los Angeles Dodgers after the 1998 season. Collins went on the play eight seasons in the minor leagues, reaching AAA with both the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets.
A slick-fielding shortstop, Collins saw action in 176 games as a Sun Devil, batting .264 over his three seasons. Collins helped lead the Devils to the Atlantic Regional Final in 1997 against Miami and the College World Series in 1998, where ASU finished as the national runner-up. After a memorable performance in Omaha, Collins was named to the All-College World Series team and was offered a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers following the 1998 season.
Over a successful eight year professional playing career, Collins was a member of championship teams with the San Bernardino Stampede (Dodgers/A) in 2000 and Jacksonville Suns (Dodgers/AA) in 2001.
A Phoenix native and prep standout at Mountain Pointe High School, Mike and his wife Joannie reside in El Mirage, Ariz. with their daughter, Mia.
What they're saying about Michael Collins:
"Michael is an enthusiastic young man who has a passion for life and baseball. He has always been a student of the game. Michael will be an asset to any team or organization that he is a part of. He has always strived to be the best and being a part of Sun Devil Baseball is a great opportunity that he will no doubt succeed in." - Former ASU teammate Mike Lopez
"Michael showed up every day to play and had fun doing it. He loves the game." - Former ASU teammate Chip Gosewisch
"Michael Collins is the perfect example of someone that certainly got the most out of his skills. He is a gamer. Not only was he a gifted player that always gave his best, but he also has an incredible ability to nurture, teach, train and pass on his baseball knowledge." - Logan White, assistant general manager, Los Angeles Dodgers

Volvo FH series
Volvo FMX
Volvo FM
Volvo FE
Volvo FL
A comfortable, safe driver is a happier, more effective driver – that's why we've made working in and around the new Volvo FE easier and more rewarding than ever.
With multiple entries and exits, a constant need for technical reliability and a tight schedule to keep, the daily routine of the city or regional distribution driver is one that doesn't allow for compromise solutions. Absolute faith in your truck, its equipment and its ability to allow you to do your job in safety and comfort is vital. In the new Volvo FE, you'll find this in every detail.
The new Volvo FE has a redesigned drivers' seat. As well as offering higher levels of safety and an integrated neck support and seat belt, it features more durable textile and colours that harmonise beautifully with the rest of the interior.
Speaking of interiors, the cab of this truck is a true expression of functional and aesthetic balance. Storage surfaces and areas are plenty and perfectly situated for easy reach, meaning your movements in the cab can be economical and less tiresome.
Similar standards of ergonomics characterise the instrument cluster. Designed to facilitate effective operation without compromising driver or pedestrian safety, all instruments and controls are intuitively designed and smartly located. And with driver convenience and the surrounding environment in mind, it's also worth noting that the instrument cluster now includes an AdBlue gauge and Diesel Particle Filter meter.
In this truck, the day's last delivery
will feel like the first.
We also understand the importance of how the driver and truck interact with pedestrians and other road users. That's why the new Volvo FE features powerful LED Daytime Running Lights that switches on automatically when the vehicle moves forward.

THE MOONDOGGIES, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Tuesday, Aug. 27, 9 p.m., $8
I've seen a few Moondoggies shows--a couple of criminally under-attended past shows in Salt Lake City, and a packed gig in Chicago--and they've never disappointed, no matter what the size of the crowd. The Seattle roots-rock crew lace their songs with some incredible harmonies as well as genuine grit, and I'm a sucker for that kind of musical approach. The band's new album, Adios I'm a Ghost, might be their best yet. You'll hear the influence of obvious benchmarks like Neil Young and Crazy Horse, as well as that of modern folk-rock peers like Fleet Foxes, but it's also the boldest statement of what The Moondoggies are to date. The addition of multi-instrumentalist Jon Pontrello helps the core original quartet go in some exciting new directions that should be even more pronounced during their always-epic live show. The Hollering Pines and David Williams open the show.

Third-Ranked Open Women Look For 25th Straight Ivy Win vs. Columbia
The open women, ranked third in the latest CRCA/USRowing Coaches Poll, will take on No. 16 Columbia Saturday morning on Overpeck Lake in Ridgefield, N.J.
This will be the first of three straight races away from Lake Carnegie for the Tigers, and they will be facing a very confident Columbia squad Saturday at 10 am.
The Lions defeated both Yale and Penn in their season-opening race on the Schuylkill River last weekend. A quick start pushed Columbia to a victory of more than five seconds over Yale. That victory gave Columbia one of the two biggest moves in this week's poll. The Lions gained nearly 90 votes and went from a three-way tie for 18th to solo 16th.
Princeton, which defeated Top 15 opponents Ohio State and Brown last weekend, has won its last 24 Ivy races, including a five-second win over Columbia last season. Next to its Eisenberg Cup battle with Yale, that was the closest race of the Ivy League regular season last year.
While Princeton may not have moved in the national poll this week, a sign of the respect voters have for the Orange and Black could be seen in other spots. Both teams that the Tigers defeated last weekend actually moved up in the poll; Ohio State went from sixth to fourth, while Brown went from 13th to 12th.
Six of the eight Ivy League teams are currently ranked. Yale is the only other team in the Top 10 (10th), while Harvard, Brown, Columbia and Cornell are all between 11th and 20th.

Fabric, Aircraft, "1903 Wright Flyer"
This section of Pride of the West muslin fabric was on the upper right wing panel of the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, when the airplane made its historic first flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright Flyer was placed in storage from 1903 until 1916, when it was assembled for the first time since Kitty Hawk by Orville Wright for a brief public display at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In late 1926, early 1927, Orville refurbished the Wright Flyer in preparation for loaning it to the Science Museum in London, where it stayed until 1948. During this refurbishment, the airplane was recovered entirely with new Pride of the West muslin. This section of flown 1903 fabric was removed at that time and remained in the possession of the Wright family until its donation to the National Air and Space Museum in 1980.
Gift of Ivonette Wright Miller & Harold S. Miller.
Physical Description:
Unbleached muslin; overal dimensions 12 ft. 1 in. X 12 ft. 4 in. Eleven internal wing rib pockets on inside of lower surface, 34 in long X 2 in. wide, pockets 11 inches apart.
