Pregnant? You Need a Toxoplasmosis Test
Feb. 8, 2005 - All pregnant women and newborns should be screened for a serious infection called toxoplasmosis, says one group of researchers.
They say that the majority of women with the infection have no symptoms. Many don't realize they have been exposed to a parasite that can cause serious health risks or death to their baby.
Toxoplasmosis develops when a pregnant woman is exposed to the parasite Toxoplasmosis gondii in cat litter, undercooked meat, or garden soil, writes lead researcher Kenneth M. Boyer, MD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
A pregnant woman has about a 40% chance of passing the infection to her unborn child, according to the March of Dimes. Only about 10% of infants with severe infections show signs of toxoplasmosis at birth. Many infected infants may not show signs until months or years later.
Boyer's study appears in the February issue of The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Toxoplasmosis is devastating for families. The majority of infected infants have no deformities at birth, but without treatment, most will develop serious eye and brain damage and die from massive infection by the end of adolescence, he writes.
"We have medicines that can help if we catch the infection and improve outcomes if we detect the infection early," says co-researcher Rima McLeod, MD, professor of ophthalmology and medical director of the Toxoplasmosis Center at the University of Chicago, in a news release.
Are You a Carrier of Toxoplasmosis?
The CDC reports that more than 60 million people in the U.S. probably carry the T. gondii parasite but few have symptoms. The immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness. However, if the infection is acquired for the first time while a woman is pregnant, it can cause crippling diseases in the newborn or later in life.
In their study, researchers interviewed the mothers of 131 infants with toxoplasmosis. They asked about the mothers' exposure to undercooked meats, cat litter, raw eggs, and more.
They also asked mothers about symptoms of infection, such as flu-like symptoms that include headaches, night sweats, fever, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.

I FUCKED MY COUSIN!! - Erotic Story
|When I was 14 I was upstairs wanking off to my parents hardcore porno mags.They were filthy, and turned me into the 'Sex mad' person I am today.As I was about to come my 14 year old cousin walked into the room and caught me! he was more interested in the magazines spread out over the bed.He then showed me that he was hard too. So we both lay on the bed wanking off whilst my sister who was babysitting was down stairs.Then my cousin suggested wanking each other off, did not fancy it at first but I was sexually gone! So we did this for a while and it was superb! Filthy porn and being wanked by my cousin, and the thrill of being caught adding to the excitement.he then suggested that we Suck each others cocks like the girls in the mags. So we did this and it was wonderful. We ended up in turns of wanking, sucking, and trying to stick what cocks we had up each others arses! Not very successfully. but it was an erotic experience.Our families went on holidays with each other and we usually ended up in the same hotel room? Yes we fucked each other stupid on every occassion, and nobody noticed apart froom one night where he was sucking my cock off with his finger up my ass and I shot my cum all over the ceiling!!! It was an amazing experience but my mother came in to see what we were up too but failed to notice Cum dripping from the ceiling. We fucked each other a few more times up to the age of 17 he did try to get me to join him and others in an orgy but I declined.The only thing I could not do to him was kiss him? Suck his cock and swallow his salty cum, but I could not kiss him.He fucked off to london to live then I discovered that I had a fascination for womens underwear. Had a full time girlfriend who was awesome in the sack! But I was still insatiable. So i used to sleep in her sisters bedroom over at her house, and sniff her panties and wank myself off regularly.Until one night my girlfriend caught me dressed up in Suspenders Stockings and a G.string wanking!!! End of relationship.Another situation arose when I was 15 I had been sent into my neighbours house on a chore and there was nobody in and the door was unlocked, she was from Swansea about 37 slim not gorgeous but 'Dirty' looking. So I had a look around and decided to check out her underwear and probaly steal a pair of her panties! Sniffed her extensive array of G.Strings and wanked off onto her carpet. Took a tiny orange G.string as a trophy. but then discovered under her bed Porno mags and a vibrator!!! Dirty slut! i thought so this turned me on even more had another wank whilst snoffing her stinking vibrator.Could just imagine her fucking herself on the bed in front of me .It was |Xmas Eve and my parents were party animals and always had around 50-70 people around they used to get on my tit! so I used to fuck off to bed with dad's porno mags and wank off all night!I am 15 at this point I had just tossed off at least 4 times when my bedroom door opened and in walked my next door neighbour ( aunties & uncles always used to try and get me to join parties)But her coming up was a very nice suprise.She asked me why I did not go , I told her and she said that she had come to give me a Xmas Kiss ( It had been an unwritten feeling between me and her that in some strange way we both fancied each other)So she gave me a kiss, it was not a kiss she shoved her tounge so far down my throat I gagged for air!!! It was fucking awesome and my wanked off sticky cock went like a little iron bar again! I could tell by the way she was looking at me and the way she eagerly stred towards my cock that she wanted me to fuck her brains out bigstyle !!!Knowing full well her husband and her were not getting on!She rubbed her hand down the quilt over my leg ! I nearlly shot my cum inside the quilt. But then you could see in her glazed eyes she really wanted too! but it was as if she came around and realised what she was doing and guilt got the better of her so she left me all alone to wank myself into a frenzied cumming session whilst sniffing her G string thinking about what could have been!!!The good days!

We studied the ranging patterns of 10 elephants in and around the Yala protected area complex, southern Sri Lanka, using VHF radio telemetry. All tracked elephants displayed similar ranging patterns. The observed home ranges were small (mean=115.2±64.0 km2) relative to reported home ranges in India, possibly in response to high habitat productivity and abundant perennial water sources. Elephants showed high fidelity to their ranges. Home ranges had relatively large core areas, suggesting intensive use of habitat. No geographically distinct seasonal ranges or migratory behavior was observed. Home range overlap was high, and territoriality was absent. Male musth ranges were considerably larger than non-musth ranges and may signify mate searching. Most elephants ranged both in and outside protected areas, suggesting that resources outside protected areas were important for their survival. Thus, translocating and restricting elephants to protected areas will be detrimental to their survival, as it limits resource access. The ranging patterns of Asian elephants suggest that conservation of the species requires their management both in and outside protected areas.

This is part of the Hexy MF quilt along series. You can jump in any time, all of the previous posts can be found listed here. We'd love to have you!
I've left you all for a couple of weeks to make a good start on your quilts. How are you all coming along?
From the progress shots that are popping up on twitter, flickr and instagram there are so many of you playing along and so many amazing fabric combos. Most of which are making me itchy to go shopping!
Today is all about the rows.
This is the layout pic – you need to form alternating rows (or maybe they're columns as they run vertically) of 8 flowers and 7 flowers, 9 rows (or columns) in total. This is just a guideline, my version in LillyBelle is actually going to be smaller as I'm planning on doing a bit more applique around the edges and I want a smaller quilt that I can take as my travel quilt. I am only 3 years old in my head, I like to have a blankie when I travel, and I think this will be perfect!
So, make a start by laying out your rows. I still prefer to lay out as rows rather than columns, so working horizontally. My brain works better that way. Bear in mind the quilt will be flipped so the straighter edges are the sides when it comes to do the applique and sewing onto the background fabric. Work whichever way you prefer – horizontally, or vertically. It's all good.
Remember my quilt is smaller, if you are following the original pattern you need to lay out a starting row of 8 flowers, and then 7 flowers and so on.
The flowers need to tessellate together – like a jigsaw puzzle. Like this….
Make sure you have the correct edges lined up and make the first seam. Knot or backstitch well to keep the seams strong and sew along the first edge, right sides together, then knot and cut at the end of the seam (or knot and carry on – but just make sure you knot or backstitch at the end of EVERY seam to keep it secure)
Here is the first seam from the front…
The second and third seams are the trickier ones, you need to pinch a bit to get them to meet. Just like when you made the the flowers in the first place.
Just as before, make sure that seam is secure as you start by knotting or backstitching. As you move along the rows, and eventually sew the rows together, the quilt will be thrown about a lot, so these seams need to be super secure. Super super secure.
And that's it – just carry on with the next flower, making sure you lay it out on the floor or a table to check you are still sewing the right edges together (it's easy to slip up and then you have to unpick. It happens to all of us, don't stress if you do that too!)
A little tip is to number your rows – just a scrap of paper pinned on to the first hex flower of each row to remind you where they go in the finished piece.
As always – any questions just ask, I'm here to help!

Goody's giving away Richard Petty-themed Charger R/T
A little Google surfing spat forth this little nugget. If you're into entering sweepstakes, you can register to win a new Dodge Charger R/T from Goody's Headache Powders. The ride will be finished to replicate a 1971 Richard Petty STP Charger, complete with the #43 on the doors and the Petty/Goody's anniversary logo on it, well, somewhere. Anyway, this might be even cooler to have than one of the modern takes on a "General Lee" Charger. Sadly, it's not an SRT8, but hey, it's free and it's got a HEMI. You can enter here. Be prepared to get all kinds of crap in the mail from GlaxoSmithKline, though.

Gohuskies.com: Your class took home the Class Day title for the second year. How does the friendly competition of an inter-squad event help prepare the team for the upcoming season?
Everyone loves winning Class Day because you gain the bragging rights around the boat house. However, it was more than that this year. So much emotion was built up this year. The day started off pretty hectic we all woke up and showed up at the boathouse and we knew each class would be gunning for gold, the strong sophomore class, the juniors gaining some big guns and the unknown speed of the Grunties. Compared to last year 6 of the 8 were rowing together pretty regularly being the basis of the V8. This year has panned out a little differently. We have been integrating a lot with the other classes, making our pre-race row feel a little "off" compared to usual.
We all met for a pre-race talk and realized this was the last time we would be racing as the MEAN13, the last time we all took off down the cut together in this lineup. I got pretty overwhelmed with emotion and knew we had to get the job done there was no way any of us were going to not go out on top. I remember tapping it up to the starting line and looking down the boat, Brandon "Bullwinkle" A.J. "Rocky" Sam "Domminator" Max "Dos Equis" Mijo "VW Mijo" Ryan "The Heater" Alex "Jamlando" Dusan "Ben" and Seamus "Rat" remembering all the nicknames freshman coach Luke McGee gave us at The Henley Royal Regatta our Freshman year. As I heard the countdown 5..4...3...2..1.. I remember saying I love you guys, and we were off. You could feel the raw emotion ripping apart the water and bending the shell. That's the moment I knew we were not going to lose. So it was more than defending the title and the inter-squad duel, it was the last time I got to race with my best friends. This can be said for every class they might not feel it yet but this is the emotion needed to be a Husky. This inter-squad training of preparing yourself for the amount of emotion you will feel sitting at the line of the Championship race. It truly is unlike any other sport, the growth my class has developed over the years unlike any other.
Gh.com: You've done some competing on the international circuit. How does that compare to rowing as a Husky?
When I competed in the 2011 U23 Championships in the 4+ it was comprised of all Husky oarsman, and Mike Callahan was our coach. So for me it was another day at work. We launched out of Conibear as we always do and got to work. The difference was we did not have the pressure of school looming over us as athletes. We were able to commit full focus to the work at hand, knowing we do not have a lot of time to row together as a boat before shipping off to Amsterdam.
Gh.com: What pressure does being a defending IRA champion put on your individual training and training as a team?
The pressure will always be there to perform at the highest level on this team because of the depth you can have an off day and see yourself slipping in the ranks as the guy below you is chomping at the bit to take your seat. But that's the strength of team training, the guy next to you pushing you to your limits and see what your limit is. On the individual side of training as a team we have a lot of faith in coach and try to follow through with the workout to maximum capacity. Unlike a national team that would be able to train 2-4 times a day we have guys who are crushing huge majors up on campus and need to take very difficult classes. So the philosophy of doing the work to the highest standard is key. Back to the pressure of the IRA, it will be a sweet tale for myself as my first ever race 8 years ago as a novice rower for NAC who won his first state championship on Lake Natoma. It is funny how things work out and come full circle. So yes it brings a sense of pressure, but it's nothing we cannot overcome.
Gh.com: As you are in the midst of your final season, have you thought about where you see yourself in a year after graduation?
I plan to stick around Seattle and pursue my career in art and fashion. Did I ever think this four years ago? No way. I was a spoiled brat from sunny southern California and had a hard time adjusting to the rain, thinking I'm going back to California after I graduate. It's interesting how things change. I've come to love this city and the people of this city. It's where all my friends are at. I will always be an athlete at heart, I'm not sure what my rowing career has in store for me but I know I will always be an active competitive person in all aspects of my life. I cannot tell you how the future will unfold for me seeing as I do not know the answer. All I know is that I have my gas on the pedal to finish this season the way started things 4 years ago. I want to know for myself that I did everything I could to get the best grades and most out of rowing. I'm eager and excited to see how the future unfolds.
Gh.com : What part of Husky rowing are you going to miss the most?
I'm going to miss making history. After seeing the 1000's of Husky Rowers come in and out of the shell house who live to tell their tales at banquets and luncheons. It made me think about my history as an oarsman. What mark on the program am I leaving? What tales will I tell? I think Callahan and the team has been writing a new page in the books in terms of Husky Rowing. I'm glad to be a part of chapter that will never be forgotten.

The "Strakermobile" from UFO
In my recent post on Cars Of The Future, circa 1970, I alluded to (and linked to a photo of) the car that appeared prominently in the British TV series UFO--and a couple of the commenters also mentioned it. The UFO car is an interesting story in itself, and it seems like a natural follow-up to my piece on cars that looked like UFOs.
For those of you who aren't old enough to have been there, UFO was a 26-episode series made in 1970, the first live-action TV series produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who'd previously given the world the fanciful "Supermarionation" puppet shows Supercar, Fireball XL-5, and Thunderbirds. Set in the distant future year of 1980, UFO was the story of a top secret international agency with the wonderfully British name "Supreme Headquarters, Alien Defence Organisation"--SHADO, for short--and its struggle to protect us from hostile aliens. SHADO had two missions: keep the aliens off the Earth, and, to prevent mass panic and social disorder, keep the people of Earth from finding out about the aliens.
Here's the title sequence, which should give you a feel for what it was like. The car appears at 0:09 or so.
That description makes it sound better than it really was. UFO seemed very impressive if you were a ten-year old SF nerd starved for something more than Star Trek and Lost In Space reruns you had memorized because you'd already seen them twenty times each. If you take off the rose-colored glasses, UFO still has its moments, some of them good, others more on the order of "so bad it's good."
UFO is science fiction, in the sense that much of the "science" in the show is pretty fictional. The aliens come to Earth in giant, spinning, silver gumdrops and wear dorky red spacesuits--not exactly the stuff of nightmares. The 2001-ish spaceships and space scenes in general are well-executed, but the very plausible and realistic Moonbase is implausibly crewed by eye-candy moon-babes with purple hair. A submarine that launches a fighter plane from underwater is a cool concept, but in practice it looks like a cheap special effect. The character-development subplots are often more melodramatic than dramatic, and the actors play everything so grim and serious that the only one who seems to be having any fun is SID the talking radar satellite. Oh, and for an organization whose very existence is supposed to be a closely-guarded secret, SHADO has a very curious practice of painting its name in large letters on all its equipment.
Well, this is "Car Lust," so we should talk about the cars. The car most prominently featured in UFO is the brown coupe which Commander Straker uses as his daily driver. That's the one you see in the video, and in the picture at right. It was identified in contemporary PR materials as being turbine powered, and a tubine sound effect was dubbed in for the engine noise. As portrayed in the series, it also has power-operated gullwing doors and a built-in mobile phone.
There is a second car also seen in the show that uses the same body shell, but has a different grille and headlight arrangement. It's painted a girlish pastel lilac (!) and driven by different characters in different episodes, most commonly by Straker's assistant Colonel Paul Foster (Michael Billingham).
Fans sometimes call the brown one "UFO-1," but if you bought the Dinky Toys version, the box just called it "Ed Straker's Car." The cars are never identified in the show as being any particular make or model. Given the identical body shells, they would appear to be badge-engineered corporate siblings built on a common platform. Maybe Straker's car was an Austin and Foster's was its Rover counterpart, or vice versa, or maybe they're both the same make and model, but from different model years.
The cars were built in 1968 as props for the Anderson-produced feature film Doppelgänger, which is better known under its alternate title, Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun. Three futuristic cars were built by putting a custom aluminum body on the running gear of a Ford Zodiac. They had a full interior, including an elaborate instrument panel made mostly from Rover components.
The bodywork was designed by Derek Meddings, the visual effects director on Doppelgänger, and constructed with the help of some German automotive stylists and race driver Alan Mann. The styling was more curvy than the usual Car Of The Future look, but still quite futuristic. After the filming of Doppelgänger finished, two of the three cars were repainted for use in UFO.
Those who worked on the production say that the cars were hard to drive. They were built as props, not as transportation, and the interior had been designed to look pretty on camera without regard for functionality. The pedals were so far from the non-adjuatable driver's seat that only a very tall person could reach them. The doors were unpowered, and not even counterbalanced, making them hard to open. To give the illusion of powered doors, a prop man would stand to the side, just out of view, and open them manually, and then the sound effects people would dub in an appropriate mechanical noise to complete the effect.
These weren't the only automobiles seen in the series. Two blue six-wheeled miniature minivans, called "SHADO Jeeps," had recurring roles. Here we see them next to Straker's coupe in the SHADO employee parking lot:
Other vehicles used in the series to "fill out" scenes in streets and parking lots were "present day" (that is, 1969-70) cars; ordinary vehicles that might plausibly still be on the road ten years later, or sports cars that could pass for something from the future if you only saw them briefly or in the background. In one episode, a woman abducted by the aliens and turned into a sleeper agent drove a Porsche 914; in another, Commander Straker's 10-year old son was run over by a speeding Ferrari 275GTB. Note also the "raygun gothic" '63 Corvette barely visible behind the left-hand truck in the photo above.
After production finished on UFO, the gullwing cars passed through several different owners, and have been variously restored, neglected, and fixed up again several times. One owner even went so far as to make the "Fostermobile" street legal and use it as his daily driver! As best I can tell, both are still intact, but presently in need of restoration, and neither is on public display.
They almost became production vehicles, though. A startup venture called "Explorer Motor Company" was formed to sell a fiberglass reproduction of the "Strakermobile" called the "Quest." The project got to the point of making fiberglass molds from one of the UFO originals, but then Explorer ran out of money. No Quest was ever built, not even a prototype. A pity, that.

The mosaics of Antioch
In the words of the noted 4th century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus: "No other city in the world can surpass this one in terms of the fertility of its lands or the richness of its trade." Antakya, which possesses the world's largest mosaic museum after the city of Bardo in Tunisia, is an impressive monument in its own right.
Known as the 'Queen of the East' in the language of the travelers and emperors that were awed by it, Antakya (ancient Antioch) was a major place of settlement for all the civilizations in history. Traces of all the civilizations founded in Anatolia can be found in this city on the banks of the Asi River between Mts. Amanos and Habibi Neccar. Exhibiting vestiges of countless civilizations, cultures and religious faiths from the 4th century B.C. up to our own day, Antakya heads the list of major cities whose historic riches left those who saw them awestruck. The city's historic monuments display the relics of those civilizations before our very eyes. And the innumerable artifacts and monuments unearthed following research and studies carried out in the past century constitute a summary of that history.
The mosaics that testify to the splendor of this city in various periods throughout its history were unearthed in the archaeological excavations that got underway in 1932. The studies carried out in Hatay, which was under French rule at the time, were done by M. Claude Prost, then-Inspector of Antiquities. During this period excavations were undertaken in various parts of Antakya, which had attracted the attention of the departments of archaeology of the leading western universities. It was decided to build a museum to conserve and exhibit the dazzling mosaics that had been unearthed in work done at Tainat, Çatalhöyük, Dehep and Cüdeyde on
the Plain of Amik by the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, at Açana Höyük in the El-Mina area of Samandağı on behalf of the British Museum, and in the Antakya region under the auspices of Princeton University. Construction of the museum building was started in 1934 by architect M. Michel Ecocherde and continued at Hatay, which subsequently became a small, independent state. When Hatay was annexed to Turkey in 1939, efforts continued to organize and exhibit the artifacts uncovered in the excavations. When the museum construction was complete and the new galleries were ready for exhibiting the monuments, the museum was opened to the public on 23 July 1948, the anniversary of the annexation of Hatay to Turkey.
It is mainly mosaics recovered from Roman and Byzantine structures built between the 2nd and 5th centuries A.D. that form the exhibitions at the Hatay Archaeological Museum. The mosaics on display in the museum's spacious galleries tend to be representational mosaics made between the 2nd and 3rd centuries, during the reigns of Antoninus and Severius, which is known as the classical period of Roman art. One of the most popular places where mosaics are found is Daphne (Harbiye) with its magnificent period palaces and dream villas of legendary beauty built for the emperors, princes and princesses, and wealthy individuals and prominent figures of the day. Famous people from all over were entertained here, where a temple to the wood nymph Daphne and the goddess Diana was also located, and the buildings erected in this period were adorned with mosaics of incomparable beauty. Becoming a center of artistic activity in time, Antakya earned well-deserved fame in the world for its mosaics. Mosaics, the first examples of which were encountered at the Temple of Uruh in Mesopotamia, originally consisted of black, white and red geometric designs affixed to columns semi-embedded in the walls by nails with heads of red clay. In time new colors were added to these mosaics, which consisted in the beginning of simple colors, and human and animal figures to the geometric shapes. Made for the most part of colored stones, the Roman-period mosaics found in the Antakya region consist of human and animal figures and scenes from mythology surrounded by geometric borders.
A variety of subjects was treated in the mosaics that adorned the walls and floors of homes, baths and palace chambers in the Roman and Byzantine periods. On the mosaics produced up to the adoption of Christianity as the state religion, mythological heroes, legends, gods and goddesses and incidents from the lives of the heroes were depicted. Events from the lives of the gods and goddesses such as Zeus, Tethys Okeanos, Apollo, Psyche, Eros, Satyr, Aphrodite and Bacchus are seen portrayed on most of these mosaics. Some specific scenes include those of Narcissus, who was in enamored of his own reflection in the water, the wood nymph Daphne fleeing from Apollo who was in love with her, and of the strongman Hercules. With conversion to Christianity, the mythological elements in mosaics declined and mosaics depicting religious subjects and the seasons began to be produced.
The mosaics exhibited in the museum have a prominent and worthy place among the world's historic artifacts for their size, quality and sheer numbers. The city's importance in history and its location at a crossroads of cultures ensured that all this richness would also be reflected in its works of art. Ancient Antioch is said to have been founded by one of Alexander the Great's generals, Seleucus, Satrap of Babylon. Later a province of the Roman Empire, Antioch became the world's third largest city after Rome and Alexandria. It is possible to see in Antakya historic monuments reflecting the concepts of art of all civilizations from the Mitanni to the Hittites, from the Assyrians to the Urartu's, from Rome to Byzantium.
There is hardly any empty space left in the Archaeological Museum where the mosaics unearthed in the digs are exhibited. Close to 120 mosaics in the form of panels are displayed on the museum's walls and in its spacious galleries, while another seventy wait in storage due to shortage of space. The world's third largest coin collection is also found in this museum, which boasts a number of historic monuments from pre-history and from the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods as well. There are close to 19.000 archaeological artifacts, more than a thousand ethnographic finds, close to 14,000 coins and more than a thousand seals here. Upwards of a hundred thousand tourists a year, Turkish and foreign, visit this museum, which is home to over 35,000 historic monuments. With its mosaic panels of almost two square meters, its sarcophagi, its ceramics, its ornamental glassware, its coins and its statues large and small, Antioch is a virtual cradle of civilizations.

With the release of its fifth full-length studio album, "Possession", Poland's Crystal Viper has returned with some of its strongest material to date. As always, vocalist and guitarist Marta Gabriel is responsible for the sonic content of the record, and she continues to push her own boundaries. This week we reached out to the band's guiding force to talk about the new record and much more. You can read the full interview below:
Crystal Viper is back with another incredible album, "Possession" and once again it is distinct from your previous albums but still carries the Crystal Viper signature. Is this because you continue to grow as a writer, or do you intentionally set out to take each new album in a different direction?
I wouldn't really say it's something in a new direction: we did the next Heavy Metal album in the Crystal Viper style. We have no ambitions to reinvent the wheel, we love Heavy Metal, and we play Heavy Metal. But I agree with you: I grow as a writer, but I guess all musicians who compose their songs will tell you the same, you learn your entire life.
As usual you wrote all the songs on this record. I understand between this album and the last you penned some 120 songs including 50 for "Possession". When are you not writing? What do you do with the 30 or so tracks you don't use?
That's correct. Well, some tracks wait for better times, some other maybe will be used on my side project, some of them will be buried and forgotten. I can say I literally write all the time, I always have some recording device with me, so when I have new idea – be it on the car, in a bus, or when I walk the street, I record it.
What was your goal with "Possession" and where is it taking the listener relative to "Crimen Excepta" and previous albums?
Our goal was the same like in case of four previous albums: to make next good Crystal Viper record. We play music we love and which we would like to listen, and if there people around who enjoy what we do, then it's truly awesome! We bring Heavy Metal to the world, this is our goal!
Tell us about the artwork for "Possession". I understand it connects to all the songs on the album?
We wanted something very classic, very old school this time, and with more aggressive colors. Yes, if you will carefully analyze this artwork of our new album, and you will listen to the album and read the lyrics, you will find out that almost every single song is represented on this picture. We love this artwork as it screams it is a Metal album!
You once again worked with your husband on this record. That is a tough dynamic, balancing love and work. How do you guys manage that?
Bart did his fifth album with us as producer, and each time he says it's the last time, but each time when we start to work on the new one he is with us, with new ideas and loaded batteries. I can't imagine someone else to produce our music, it wouldn't be the same I think. We worked together on 'Possession' from the very first rough ideas, up to what you can hear on the album, so I guess we can say he is integral part of how Crystal Viper sounds. Of course it's not like that, that he says "you can do this and this, and you can't do this and this" – he gives us total freedom, and when he thinks something is wrong, we discuss it, and we try to find best possible solution. How do we manage that? We love what we do, music is our passion.
You are an extremely busy woman: You have Crystal Viper, you are a noted session musician and songwriter, you are now live guitarist for Jack Starr's Burning Starr, and you have your own clothing company now. How do you juggle it all?
It's all a question of good organization, and I'm not hiding the fact I have pretty good manager, who helps me to catch all ends and schedule everything.
You found your love of music when you were 6, but was there an album or two that you would say changed your life?
I think there was no particular album or two, I listened to a lot of music, to a lot of albums. I still do.
As a vocalist were there any particular influences growing up that you tried to channel or emulate in developing your own style?
I definitely tried to develop my own style, I never tried to copy anyone. But I can list a lot of vocalist that inspire me and whom I admire, like Tony Martin, Leather Leone, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford or Doro.
How about as a guitar player?
I would list here Mike Oldfield, Eddie Van Halen and Glenn Tipton!
The Examiner is about to do its newest Top Female Guitar Shredders article: Are there any other female guitar players that you find particularly impressive that we should know about or consider?
Yes, I think Orianthi is really great!
You have played all over the world with Crystal Viper. What's the strangest food you have eaten and where was it?
We didn't play all over the world yet, we hope to! There are many, many countries we never visited, and I know there are fans in many places around the globe waiting for us. If it would be that simple we would be touring 365 days a year! Strangest food? Well, I will tell you a secret, I love food, haha… We always try to check local food when we are on tour. I don't remember anything really strange, or maybe our standards for "strange food"are already very high… I don't know, some strange looking seafood or balls of a ram? Is it strange? Ha ha…
Any idea when we might see you tour North America?
Not really, actually such decision doesn't belong to us. It's up to U.S. promoters, if they want to invite us or not.
Pointless question of the week: What bad habit or guilty pleasure are you hopelessly addicted to?
I think I write too many songs, haha…
Marta, thank you so much for taking the time to chat with The Examiner. We look forward to seeing you live and hearing what you have in store next.
Thank you very, very much for supporting Crystal Viper! We are Metal Nation!

Valentine's Darting Date for CLZ
A different kind of cupid's arrow was received by a Lower Zambezi elephant this Valentine's Day. After a bull, approximately 20 years old, was reported to have been seen severely injured in the Nkalange area of the Lower Zambezi National Park, CLZ organised for Zambia Wildlife Authority Vet, Dr. Harvey Kasmboyi to be flown in on 14 February to dart and treat the elephant.
The bull was located quickly and although still in quite good condition he was suffering significantly from the wire snare embedded in its front right leg and was unable to move easily. After a very efficient darting from Dr. Kasmboyi the wire was removed from the leg and the wound cleaned. The bull was administered with long-acting antibiotics to help him recover from the otherwise fatal injury. Within forty minutes of being sedated the elephant was back on his feet and recovery prospects are hoped to be high.
CLZ will continue to monitor the bull's progress. Thank you very much to Dr. Kasmboyi as ever for his assistance as well as his research assistants Mr. Daniel Mwizabi. Thank you too to pilot Brad Reid for flying in Dr. Kasmboyi.
We also had reports of a much younger snared calf and spent the afternoon trying to relocate the calf. However due to thick bush at this time of year aerial and road tracking was not successful but we will continue the search.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Audiences have been watching character actor Robert Davi for decades in films like "Die Hard" and "Raw Deal." Who knew a filmmaker with a weakness for hard-luck cases resided under that rugged exterior?
Davi's first film, "The Dukes," is currently working the film festival circuit and getting warm notices along the way. It's a heart tugger of the first order, a flawed but embraceable tale of a has-been music group trying for one last score. And it's not the musical kind.
Davi, who directed, co-wrote "The Dukes," stars as Danny, a doo-wop crooner of The Dukes whose finances have him singing the blues. Bandmates George (Chazz Palminteri) and Armand (the late Frank D'Amico) are just as broke. So they stumble across a plan to revive their bank accounts. They'll rob a dentist office and swipe its pot of gold – the precious metal meant for patients' fillings.
Naturally, nothing goes precisely as planned.
"The Dukes" isn't big-scale entertainment. At times, its pleasures are as modest as its tiny budget. Still, it's sweet and soulful in the places that count, and it gets by on plenty of moxie.
Palminteri is a hoot as George, Danny's chubby-chasing pal, and Peter Bogdonavich looks appropriately shattered as the Dukes' manager.
Davi, in turn, whips up a convivial atmosphere that's old fashioned and current considering today's economic crunch. The neophyte hyphenate falls prey to a meandering final act, though, as well as a late character addition that feels like a screenwriting exercise slipped into the final draft.
I'd carp about one very obvious product placement, but such transgressions are far more forgivable in an inide flick which needs all the support it can get.
"The Dukes" is like the doo-wop songs which populate the film's soundtrack. It's outdated yet perfectly welcome in today's film market.

Rick Limpert gets an exclusive interview with Pablo Cruise keyboardist, Cory Lerios, as "Pablo Cruise" plays Atlanta with Yacht Rock Revue and others on Saturday, July 19, 2014 at Piedmont Park.
It's been a long time since the 1970s and 80s hitmakers, Pablo Cruise, have played Atlanta; so long, that keyboard player, Cory Lerios, can't remember the last time they made their way down Peachtree Street.
But after a quick tour through the northeast part of the country earlier this year, they will best at their best this week in the ATL.
"The hits are always automatic (as) the audience knows the hits," said Lerios in an interview leading up to the Atlanta date. "We hadn't been on the East Coast for such a long time and they were such hardcore fans it was just great to play. We will play deep cuts, but the audience sings along with the hits."
You will remember their hits in "Love Will Find a Way," "A Place in the Sun," "Cool Love" and the remake of "I Go To Rio," but my question is "Whatcha Gonna Do" on the night of Saturday, July 19?
Unlike most other bands that had a run in the 70s and 80s, maybe one or two original members remain to tour, but with Pablo Cruise, you get three out of the four original members.
"Pablo Cruise never really broke up," explains Lerios. "We just went different ways. Dave and I went off in different directions. As we got older and had done other things- we have this (Pablo Cruise) in out back pocket and three of the four guys are still around to play. It's great fun and it keeps it fresh."
Lerios also admitted that if he wasn't sharing a stage with Jenkins, Price and now Antonino, they wouldn't be out touring.
"If it wasn't all us guys together, we wouldn't be out. We all get along well."
Lerios laughed when I mentioned that it seems the most press Pablo Cruise had received in a number of years was from actor, Will Ferrell wearing a Pablo Cruise t-shirt in the movie Step Brothers.
"What happened was, once the movie came out, a publicist got in touch with me after seeing the trailer," said Lerios. " Yes, Will Ferrell was wearing a Pablo Cruise t-shirt. If it was a couple years later we would've had a DVD or CD to sell. The response and interviews and excitement was amazing. Jimmy Kimmell had the guys on his show and they came out and sang "Whatcha Gonna Do." We played at the premiere and they asked the band to walk down the red carpet. I personally didn't want to do it (because) people asked what are you here for and I say we have this t-shirt."
One song Atlantans will enjoy will be "Atlanta June."
I asked Lerios about how that song came to be.
"Steve Price, our drummer and our drummer since day one, was dating a girl named June from Atlanta. He sat down with Dave Jenkins one night and they pounded it out."
So, I ask you again, "Whatcha Gonna Do" this Saturday night?
The answer should be, that you will come out and see Lerios and his bandmates, Dave Jenkins, Steve Price and Larry Antonino at Piedmont Park with Yacht Rock Revue and a gaggle of other musicians.
Pablo Cruise, Gary Wright, Peter Beckett and Ronn Moss of Player, Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special, Walter Egan and Robbie Dupree are all on the bill, Saturday, July 19. General Admission for $35.
The Yacht Rock Revival will be set on a stage in the meadow of Piedmont Park, looking out over the beautiful Midtown Atlanta skyline. The side of the hill is reserved for blanket seating and with ample space in the meadow, every attendee will be able to find a comfort zone or their "Place in the Sun" for fun night of music.

UPDATE 10/15/14: Kimberly Watts was sentenced to 3 to 23 months in jail. Read more here.
A Washington County couple was arrested and charged with animal cruelty and child endangerment on Wednesday, March 26.
Kimberly Watts, 26, was accused of stabbing a puppy, Trooper, and Danny Watts, 25, was witnessed throwing another puppy, Sadie, against the wall. This was in retaliation for one of the puppies biting their two-year-old daughter's lip.
According to police, the toddler was unsupervised with the puppies at the time of the incident.
A cousin claims to have seen a 4-5" knife and says that Kimberly stated, "I tried to kill him."
The child is reportedly doing well. Trooper is doing better and Sadie required surgery for a fractured elbow. Both are recovering in the care of C.R.I.C.A.A.T. Two other dogs were removed from the couple's mobile home Wednesday evening.
Donations toward their care can be made to C.R.I.C.A.A.T. at P.O. Box 117, Washington, PA 15301.
The couple was taken to Washington County Jail.
According to the C.R.I.C.A.A.T. Facebook page, their preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 10 at the Office of District Justice Wilson, 604B Park Avenue, Monongahela, PA 15063 at 2:15 p.m.

I want to talk for a bit about the emotions that films can bring out of us. Specifically, how physically angry a film can make us feel. The other day I received an e-mail from a friend of mine talking about how much he hated the film Passengers (dir. Rodrigo Garcia, 2008). The film made him want to demand his money back and he heeded that I never see this film for myself. I'm the kind of guy who is satisfied with about 75% of the films he sees. I wouldn't even go as far as to say Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (dir. Betty Thomas, 2009) is a bad movie because you get what you ask for when watching it. There are still movies that make me physically angry. Why don't we take a trip down memory lane.
Van Helsing (dir. Stephen Sommers, 2004) nearly made me pop a vein in my forehead. This was mostly in part to how excited I was to see the movie. I was thinking, "Wolverine is going to tear up some monsters and its going to rock." During the entire 131 minutes of the movie all I could think was, "Why are you ruining it on purpose? Why do you hate me?" Van Helsing had been successful in creating a concept that would win over a 16 year old boy. It got me into the theater on opening weekend and had my excited about sequel opportunities before I even saw it because I had a 'no way this will blow mentality.' Van Helsing did everything right but deliver on the movie. It made me swear off Hugh Jackman. We all have seen a movie that has a great concept but was put in inept hands and therefore blew like a train whistle. I felt the same way about I Am Legend (dir. Francis Lawrence, 2008). The source material was superb but they ignored all of it in favor of a clunky movie with a Shrek reference. Movies have the task of deciding what the public wants to see and making it. It can be insulting watching a movie that is so drab. It feels like the studios think you're an idiot and will eat up drivel like Paul Blart: Mall Cop (dir. Steve Carr, 2009). An insult to your intelligence is sure to boil the blood.
Whether or not we see a film that makes us sing praises or see a film that makes us hate human existence we still display a distinct emotion towards it. Its funny the type of emotional turmoil we can be put through in the span of 2 to 3 hours. Good or bad, films have an effect on us. There is a richness to films that only requires a few hours to form an opinion and everything you need to know is right in front of your eyes.

|A Generalized Finite Element Method for Multiscale Simulations
|Computational and Applied Mathematics Colloquium
|C. Armando Duarte, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
|This presentation focuses on a novel computational method for multiscale phenomena. The methodology is based on the Generalized FEM (GFEM) and can be applied to a broad class of multiscale problems. It involves the solution of interdependent global (structuralscale) and localscale problems. The local problems focus on the resolution of finescale features of the solution in the vicinity of, e.g., three dimensional cracks or regions with sharp thermal gradients, while the global problem addresses the macro scale structural behavior. The boundary conditions for the local problems are provided by the coarse scale solution and can of Dirichlet, Neumann or Cauchy type. The local solutions are embedded into the global solution space using the partition of unity concept. This enables a twoway information transfer between scales and leads to a robust and accurate methodology. We show that this GFEM provides convergent solutions even when classical globallocal analysis fails due to numerical pollution of the FEM solution. Numerical examples demonstrating the application and robustness of the procedure to three dimensional fracture mechanics, heat transfer problems and discontinuous gradients fields are presented.

The U.S. International Trade Commission released a report this week that forecasts U.S. exports related to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, if passed by Congress, will increase by $57.2 billion by 2032.
However, the International Maritime Organization's Maritime Safety Committee said there should be no delay in the implementation of the verified gross mass rule.
The European Parliament signaled it would reject any proposal to lower Europe's import tariffs against China, highlighting concerns that industries from steel to solar are vulnerable to a flood of Chinese shipments.

(I'm supposed to be the pink one)
Jamie here! Around my house, the begining of fall is marked by the amount of construction paper scraps littering our kitchen table. The kids and I have a tradition of making paper pumpkins, bats, leaves, spoooooky moons – and all sorts of other fallish stuff – to tape onto the windows and doors.
This year – the older boys knocked it out of the part when they created a monster for each member of the family. I wanted to showcase such beautiful art (hehe) by giving their monster family a place of honor – so we made a wreath. It cost me $1 – and it took about 10 minutes! Here's how to make your own "Monster Mash Family Wreath"
You'll Need: Pizza Box, Hot Glue Gun, Ribbon, Monsters
Cost: $1 for ribbon at Dollar Tree
- Have your kids make monsters representing each family member
- Cut a wreath shape out of a pizza box (I used a couple bowls for my circle templates)
- Wrap a whole spool of ribbon (Black, purple, orange – you pick!) around the wreath and tape both ends in place. It doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to cover the pizza stains on the cardboard :) I actualy didn't have enough ribbon, a fact which is easily covered up by careful monster placement.
- Hot glue your monsters onto the wreath holding hands (or not)
- Hot glue a length of ribbon to the back, and hang on a hook or wreath hanger.

Patton Boggs to the Rescue! (Provided, Of Course, it Gets Paid)
If it weren't already pretty obvious, the situation involving Allen Stanford and his lawyers has gotten pretty dire. Earlier this week, we blogged the news that the financier, accused of helping mastermind a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, had traded the highly-regarded Houston lawyer Dick DeGuerin for the similarly highly-regarded Washington lawyer Robert Luskin, of Patton Boggs.
In light of that news, however, one question plagued us. If Stanford was dropping DeGuerin because he couldn't pay him, what, exactly, was the arrangement with Luskin? Was Luskin willing to take the case in the hope of getting paid down the road? Would Patton Boggs, Luskin's firm, work the case for free?
Well, we're not sure it's entirely cleared up, but we have part of our answer. In a filing made Tuesday to the federal magistrate judge in Houston, Patton Boggs and Houston's Sydow & McDonald, indicated they were inclined only to get involved in the case for the limited purpose of trying to free up some of Stanford's assets. If unsuccessful, they'd drop out.
According to the filing:
The Firms and Mr. Stanford have . . . agreed that Patton Boggs' appearance in this case is contingent on obtaining a court order allowing the Firm to enter a limited appearance as described above. Therefore, if the Court does not consent to the terms described above, the Firms and Mr. Stanford have agreed that Patton Boggs shall not otherwise enter an appearance in the case.
In a related matter, Bloomberg reports today that in a separate filing yesterday in the SEC case, the receiver in the case, Ralph Janvey requested payment of $7.6 million in legal fees and expenses to cover his work as receiver from April 13 to May 30. The request follows one for $20 million to pay for Janvey's first eight weeks on the Stanford case. Janvey said the accounting and law firms working with him continue to discount their services by 20 percent.

Well since i last wrote a blog post, I've had a few good days but also a few bad ones.
I didn't move out of the house or even get dressed i just stayed in my pyjamas for 3 days.
Yes i no its not good but i could not snap out of the way i was feeling, i didn't eat or see anyone as the children were away with family.
But i have had a few good days where i've actually got up, made an effort, cleaned and been out seen a few friends.
But tonight for some reason i feel all fidgety and cannot sleep.
I've had a bath, tried lying down a bit of reading and a hot drink but still nothing.
I've also got myself a penpal who im looking forward to swapping letters with.
Im still taking my tablets and although im having good and bad days i do feel as though they are helping, I've also started to keep a diary of how im feeling, what i have done that day which is good i sopose.
It's half term here next week so i plan on doing something with the kids which involves getting out and jumping on a train somewhere. well i hope too.
Anyway im off to try and get some sleep as i need to be up for 7am.

Duneblast is one of the newest Magic: The Gathering cards revealed at PAX Prime from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion set Khans of Tarkir. This powerful board sweeper rivals other we've seen, and feels as though it should have belonged in From the Vault: Annihilation as a preview card.
Duneblast - 4WBG
Sorcery (Rare)
Choose up to one creature. Destroy the rest.
The Abzan turn to this spell only as a last resort, for its inevitable result is what they most dread: to be alone.
Many players try to limit the amount of creatures they play when running spells like End Hostilities or Wrath of God in order to maximize the amount of card advantage. Martial Coup can leave you with a small army of token creatures, however Duneblast allows you or your teammate to keep your largest threat and attack unopposed.
One way to abuse Duneblast is by using creatures that regenerate, such as Eater of Hope. This will allow you to have multiple creatures left after the dust has settled.
Duneblast makes a fantastic addition to any Karador, Ghost Chieftain or Ghave, Guru of Spores commander Choosing to keep one of your opponent's creatures alive might be good politics in multiplayer games like Commander, and can result in ending up with an aly. It's a win-win scenario if you're not running many creatures of your own and you've convinced the other player to attack someone other than you.
How will you use Duneblast? Please let us know in the comments or via social media.

Welcome to the Department of Anthropology!
Of all the human sciences, anthropology is the broadest. Anthropologists study how human beings have come to be as they are: a physically distinct species, communicating through language, adapted to every habitat on earth, and living in an amazing variety of lifeways. As anthropologists become increasingly engaged with the world, they have led in the development of a global focus on how culturally different peoples interact, how humans change their customary ways of life, and how they have evolved over time.
Programs Offered
- Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology
- Minor in Anthropology
- Master of Arts in Cultural Resources Management
The Marcia K. Brown Memorial Primatology Scholarship
The Marcia K. Brown Memorial Primatology Scholarship Fund honor's Marcia's dedication to better understanding our closest living relatives and helping them to live better lives in captive facilities. This scholarship was created in her honor to provide scholarships for Sonoma State University graduate and undergraduate students from any discipline with a minimum 3.0 GPA conducting captive and/or field research in primate behavior.

The cast has been announced for Utopia, Channel4's six-part drama from Kudos Films, which is creating a multi-platform experience with digital agency TH_NK.
Paul Higgins (In the Loop, The Thick of It), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits), Alexandra Roach (The Iron Lady) and Neil Maskell (Kill List) head up the cast which also includes James Fox (Sherlock Holmes), Geraldine James (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) Simon McBurney (Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy), Fiona O' Shaughnessy (Outcast), Adeel Akhtar (The Dictator, Four Lions), Oliver Woolford (Blackout) and Michael Smiley (Kill List).
The four main characters find themselves in a cult conspiracy theory turned real in the new drama. The Utopia Experiments is a legendary graphic novel shrouded in mystery. But when Ian, Becky, Grant and Wilson, a small group of previously unconnected people, find themselves in possession of an original manuscript of the book, their lives implode. Targeted by a murderous organisation known as The Network this group has to run to survive.
The linear drama will incorporate a multi-platform experience created by TH_NK, the digital agency behind J.K. Rowling's Pottermore. The agency is set to work with the production team, Kudos and scriptwriter Dennis Kelly to build digital thinking into the production.
TH_NK is designing an experience that plays off the paranoia of the thriller, engaging viewers and encouraging debate around some of the drama's biggest themes. The experience will play out in the run up to TX and extend the experience across the six episodes.
Utopia is written by Dennis Kelly, the co-creator of the Olivier Award winning Matilda, and was greenlit for Channel 4 by chief creative officer Jay Hunt. Directed by Marc Munden (The Mark of Cain, The Crimson Petal and the White), Utopia will be produced by Kudos Film & TV for Channel 4. The producer is Rebekah Wray-Rogers (This is England '88) and executive producers are Karen Wilson (Hustle, Spooks), Jane Featherstone (Spooks, Life on Mars, The Hour) and Dennis Kelly (Pulling).

College Hockey:RIT Picked To Repeat As Atlantic Hockey Champions
RIT, which won the Atlantic Hockey Regular season in its first year in the league, was picked to repeat in the league's coaches preseaon poll, released Wednesday. The Tigers received eight of the 10 first-place votes, with playoff champion Air Force and Mercyhurst getting one first-place vote each.
"It's nice to receive the honor, but our league is so balanced that any team can beat the other on any given night," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "We exceeded expectations last year, but now the target is on our back."
With RIT eligible for the postseason for the first time, the league will use its fifth different playoff format in five years. The first round will consist of a best-of-three series played at the home rinks of the top five seeds the weekend of March 7-9, with the five winners advancing to Rochester for the championships, which will again be held at the Blue Cross Arena on March 14-16.
The league is in negotiations with ESPNU to carry the title game.
"We're looking forward to another exciting season," said AHA commissioner Bob DeGregorio. "The quality of play and parity continues to improve, as evidenced by our team's performances in the NCAA tournament the past two seasons."

What single word would I use to describe a person who fills out a form? So if Abigail fills out a form she is a... whatever the term should be. The form is an application but the applicant does not fill it in himself. The person who fills it out may be a secretary or a manager. It needs to be one word. "Filler-inner" does not sound right. Data-capturer is two words.

I decided to turn to existing forms rather than just reaching into the air for an obscure term. Here's the USCIS I-129F form, which is a government form that might be prepared by someone other than the petitioner. They call this person the preparer.
Submitter, because they just submitted the form?
For example, I submit an edit here, I am the submitter.
User is another option.
How about
Consider formfiller, something or someone who fills out forms. For example:
I don't have a dictionary reference for this form, but see en.wiktionary's definition of formfilling as "The filling out of forms".
Could you not auto-populate the field with the name of the Active User? That's more of a coding answer than a language one, so how about: "Agent"?
you could use "applicant" . . .
If the form is usually filled in on behalf of other people then the standard term I have seen most often is agent and in long-form agent for XXX or acting as agent for XXX such as on prescription forms or other applications.
I think preparer is ambiguous - you could interpret that as the person who prepared the form for you to fill in. Then again, I'm married to a long-term public servant and I often find government writing ambiguous and overly wordy, with massive sentence run-on, to the extent where the point of the original sentence is lost or obscured.
If this person or (I'm guessing) process is populating a form, you could call it a "populator".
This usage is well-attested in programming contexts, viz. the popular (heh) Ruby module (gem)
By a similar chain of logic, if the agent is documenting -- that is, describing the facts of -- the applicant, then you could call him the applicant's "documentor".
While often considered archaic, consider scrivener
This would not apply to the applicant herself, only an listed assistant.
You also could use scribe
Though I still like 'Filler-inner'.
Of course the answer is Fillosopher. According to the website, XWord Info
A fillosopher fills things.
Kate Mulligan (KatesMonterey) on Twitter
The difference between filling up and filling out is a moot point. The base, "fill" alerts the reader that something is being entered. So Fillosopher it is.:)

A genre of supposed sports which has been growing in recent years involves, basically, guys beating the devil out of each other inside cages. It goes by several names, such as the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and under the umbrella of mixed martial arts. But however your view them, we can be sure of two things: that they are not true sports, and that they are immoral.
We will go a step further and add prize fight boxing into the mix. No athletic effort in which the primary aim is to hurt a human being is a sport. We have even found ourselves wondering whether American football is, perhaps, immoral, seeing as the only way to stop an offensive player is by sheer physicality. Intending to harm someone, as fighting (and pushing and grabbing too) until someone can continue no further is surely meant to do nothing save cause injury, is always wrong. Calling it a sport in an attempt at legitimacy is nothing less than an insult to our intelligence. We must see these things for what they are: gory rituals of false bravado.
There's no point defending them on the grounds that no one forces these guys to fight or play football. People at one time regularly agreed to duels and we put a stop to that inane practice for the very reason that it was wrong. Agreement between two or more folks on a plan of action cannot make that action moral. What we do must be moral in and of itself to have any decent bearing at all. Besides, we do force them to participate, in a way. We pay them to do it after all.
If we are not careful we will devolve into a nation which likes blood and harm for its own sake. We must remember that sports are intended for recreation, for fans and players alike. If all we want is blood, we may as well live in a slaughterhouse. Yet that would be thought insane.
Events which intend to inflict real physical harm are not sports. We need to rise above our animal lusts and see athletics in their best light: ultimately meaningless contests which allow us a respite from the daily grind. Anything more than that and we simply go beyond their scope.

Kudos to three elected officials — Govs. Jay Inslee of Washington and John Kitzhaber and U.S. Rep. Ron Wyden of Oregon — for their concerns on the proposals to increase coal shipments through the Columbia River Gorge. Inslee and Kitzhaber co-wrote a well-written letter to the White House Council on Environmental Quality stating their agencies are: "committed to a rigorous, fair and objective process to review these applications …," and Wyden requested that a full environmental impact statement be done for the Port of Morrow barging proposal.
Those who say any job is a good job are being shortsighted. The benefits of a small number of jobs that these proposals would create at the terminals would be far outweighed by the negative effects of shipping upwards of 100 million tons of coal through the Columbia River Gorge.
To allow a foreign company, Australia-based Ambre Energy, to ship coal mined on public land, in uncovered coal cars that can release 500 to 2000 pounds of coal per car per trip (BNSF Railway's own numbers), through the largest national scenic area in the U.S., to then be shipped to Asia, is wrong on several levels. As a taxpayer, I am vehemently opposed to this. You should be, too.

Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables
Indie LP: PL3DGE
Headliner: Mike Bigga p.k.a. Killer Mike
Key cameos: T.I., Young Jeezy, Twista and Gucci Mane
Essential info: Killer Mike is as imposing vocally as he is physically, from his riotous verses on "Pressure" to his outspoken (and instructional) social commentary. But when the Atlanta rapper decided to put together the third volume of his Pledge series, he decided he needed to make a change.
According to Mike, it didn't matter how loud he said something if listeners decided he was yelling at them instead of raging with them. So for "Burn," a smoldering call-of-arms cut, he learned less could mean much, much more.
"When I went into Pledge III, I knew what I was doing on Pledge I was right, but I knew I needed to cut the amount of songs down," Mike told Mixtape Daily. "So on, Pledge II, I cut the amount of songs down and I was so voracious through the whole thing. … NPR named it their album of the year. Now, I'm like, 'I will focus on voice.' "
He took a page out of Busta Rhymes' book of rhymes, noting how the veteran MC went from his "roar, roar" style to one in which he used his voice "more like an instrument."
"I needed 'Burn' to be as powerful as 'Pressure' but I needed it not to sound so angry that it turns people off," Mike explained. "So I thought of emotions that Americans are feeling besides anger — it's a seething feeling. It's not just 'I'm mad,' it's a seething anger. When you see banks let off the hook for millions and billions of dollars and the same banks a year later are telling you, 'I'm gonna foreclose on your home,' it don't matter if you're black, white, Asian, Dominican or Puerto Rican, what matters is that anger, the red in your eyes."
The result is not only an anthem for folks fighting the recession, but also a record that has found itself in rotation and posted on multiple blogs. "I used my telephone voice and, to be honest, it's created a new way for me to make records," he revealed.
PL3DGE is due for release on April 19, and in addition to Mike's musical pursuits, the rapper also recently appeared on MTV's "Made," where he served as a mentor to a young man who was being bullied.
"They were just great people," he said of the boy and his family. "Anybody that listens to the Pledge series knows that my music, beyond being dope music, is motivational. Listening to me, for a 'hood dude, is like listening to Tony Robbins. 'Made' gave me an opportunity to help a young man express himself through rap about some things going on and it also gave him an opportunity to be a youth counselor. So everything I been saying in my music, I was able to apply with this young man to the real world.

Queen of Baja Cuisine
Jerry Hicks | Photo: Robert Benson | March 7, 2014
Deborah Schneider wrote her own culinary story, and it's all about the food of Mexico.
Foodies know chef Deborah Schneider as the culinary artist who wows us with her healthful gourmet Mexican cuisine at Newport's Sol Cocina (solcocina.com) and, now, her new Solita Tacos and Margaritas in Surf City. (She opened Sol Mexican Cocina in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 2012.) How—and why—did she come to concentrate on Mexican fare? Read on to find out.
How does someone named Schneider wind up specializing in Mexican food? I've been in kitchens with a lot of Mexican workers, and I loved hearing about family recipes. Plus my husband and I would travel down the coast of Baja—he's very much into surfing-so I've spent a lot of time in Mexico. And you loved the food? I really love the Mexican culture. I'm a nut on culinary history, and Mexico has such a rich story. And I loved the coastal food on those trips. It tasted like home to me. You were a writer before you were a professional chef… I was a magazine editor in Canada. The Toronto Blue Jays, the Winnipeg Jets hockey team, the Canadian Opera—I ran their magazines and many others. But I hated office work, and I've always loved cooking. We had a garden on the farm where I grew up-it had been in our family dating back to 1820. We ate everything fresh. Then I had a chance to train with Beverly Burge, who had been an assistant to the great chef Anne Willan. It was a six-month, accelerated Le Cordon Bleu course. You worked aboard yachts at first, right? Many private luxury yachts—in Europe, Florida, the Caribbean. So how'd you end up in California? I came to San Diego in the '80s to meet up with a guy who wasn't as serious about me as I thought. But soon after, I met the man who's now my husband. I started working in French and Italian restaurants, became head chef at the Hilton Torrey Pines and then head of dining at the Del Mar racetrack. How'd your first restaurant come about? One of my partners read a cookbook I'd written and asked if I'd like to go into business. It was called ¡Baja! Cooking on the Edge. Is each restaurant unique? Newport and Scottsdale were influenced by coastal Baja—a lot of seafood dishes. But Solita is more like mainland Mexico, with a lot of food over wood grills. The sauces are a little different. A lot of rotisserie chicken, slowly simmered. We use oak and charcoal on our grills. And you say this is all healthy? That's right. Everything is from scratch. Very little is fried. Name something we'd love. A tequila shrimp and avocado sundae—it's got chipotle, lime juice and salsa fresca; a creamy avocado sauce with blanco, a white tequila; all served in a sundae glass. People love it.

Last Call: How GOP Primary Candidates Spent After The Campaign
The campaign tab for some 2012 presidential contenders kept climbing long after they abandoned their dreams of the White House. New research by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) found the campaigns of eight Republican presidential primary candidates continued to spend millions of dollars after their bids ended, using the money to pay for everything from consultants to private jets and hotel stays.
Download the full report on GOP post-primary spending.
To be sure, winding down a multistate campaign doesn't happen overnight and failed candidates do need to keep their operations running for a while. There are outstanding bills and debts to pay – lawyers, accountants, fundraisers, marketing companies, and other vendors whose invoices can take months to trickle in. Some expenses, though, raise questions.
The candidates reported spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on private jets, consulting, and even payments to family and other insiders after suspending their campaigns. For instance, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) spent $60,202 on travel, including $12,500 paid to a private jet company. Gov. Rick Perry's (R-TX) campaign paid $719 for a stay at the Hilton Miami in March, two months after he dropped out. He also spent nearly $7,400 on parking, $6,400 of which was spent in Austin, TX, where he serves as governor.
Businessman Herman Cain's campaign repaid him $400,000 towards outstanding loans and $99,300 for unitemized "travel expenses." The campaign also paid $31,596 to Mr. Cain's company, T.H.E. New Voice Inc., for more travel costs. Rep. Paul's campaign reported making more than $9,000 in salary payments to relatives including his daughter and grandchildren. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) paid nearly $80,000 to a consulting firm owned by her campaign manager.
The campaigns collectively spent more than $15 million after the candidates dropped out, with 27 percent of that spending taking place more than two months after candidates suspended their campaigns. Mr. Cain's campaign spent $4.9 million after he left the race, the largest amount of any of the candidates, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), who kept his diminished campaign alive through the Republican nominating convention in August, spent the least – $792,566.
Only two candidates, former Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr. (R-UT) and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R- MN) have reported shutting down their campaign committees for good. The other candidates collectively have nearly $2 million in cash on hand remaining in their campaign accounts – and too many ways they can spend it.

As we peer into the abyss of our tote, we wonder what story our material possessions tell, and Obsessive Consumption: What Did You Buy Today? ($14) addresses this pondering in sketchbook style. Graphic design professor and artist Kate Bingaman-Burt draws us a pictorial dairy of something she spent money on everyday until her credit card debt was paid off. A microcosm of consumer culture and a keen commentary on "retail therapy," this illuminating process is a helps understand our own shopping cravings.
