Background: For 715 years, from 1278 to 1993, Andorrans lived under a unique co-principality, ruled by French and Spanish leaders (from 1607 onward, the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel). In 1993, this feudal system was modified with the titular heads of state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary democracy. Long isolated and impoverished, mountainous Andorra achieved considerable prosperity since World War II through its tourist industry. Many immigrants (legal and illegal) are attracted to the thriving economy with its lack of income taxes. (CIA—The World Factbook)

Andorra has not been designated to receive Security Assistance Funding in FY 2008.

Sustainable Development in Small Island States: Saint LuciaAn International Service-Learning course with focus on Community and Economic Development of Small Island Developing States
CDAE 186 is an introduction to sustainable development in a small island developing state (SIDS).
In this course, students utilize knowledge and skills accumulated throughout their studies to address
critical needs in the small island state of St. Lucia, West Indies. As an international service-learning
course, students spend the fall semester planning and preparing, followed by a two-week project
implementation period, during winter break.
During the first portion of the fall semester, students delve into the socio-economic factors that impact development in St. Lucia. Course work done during this time introduces the history, economics and culture of the region. The second portion of the fall semester includes collaborating with the government and community partners in St. Lucia to develop service-learning projects. Project partners identify specific community needs or problems for which solutions are then collectively formed into service-learning projects.
The two-week field component takes place after the conclusion of the fall semester. During this time, students collaborate with project partners in St Lucia to implement the service-learning projects throughout various communities. Also, there is significant amount of time spent doing ongoing assessments and evaluations of each project allowing for on-site alteration and reflection. Flexibility and adaptation are key components to a successful international service-learning project in this course.
The course culminates with a formal presentation and report done for project partners, the St. Lucia Consumer Affairs Department and invited guests. Students develop the presentations into final reports that reflect the entirety of work done both in the classroom and in the field.

Football: Weekly Picks
Before we get to this week's plays, one more reminder: The picks you're about to receive are not always among the "premium" plays I release to my paying customers on the weekend. Line moves, injuries, suspensions, weather, etc., they all influence whether I upgrade or downgrade — or totally discard — the complimentary selections you read here each week.
Without further delay, let's get to this week's freebies:
Titans minus 1.5 vs. BengalsI took a shot with the Titans on Monday night in Denver and got burned. Well, I'm not going to get burned this week when I back a Bengals team that has pulled a Roberto Duran on the 2007 season, crying "no mas."
How bad have things gotten in Cincinnati? Just two years removed from a playoff berth that seemingly buried the team's image as the hapless "Bungles," this team is just 3-7 — and the three wins came against two teams (Ravens and Jets) that are a combined 6-14. Not only did the Bengals need 10 turnovers to beat Baltimore twice, but they also had to rally from a 23-10 deficit to beat New York!
What's the main problem with Marvin Lewis' team? It can't stop a turtle in a broom closet. In fact, when it comes to defense, the oft-arrested Bengals put up more of a fight in the courtroom than they do on the field. They rank 31st in the 32-team league in points allowed, having surrendered 24 or more in eight of their last nine games. So, I don't care if the Titans go with a hobbled Vince Young or a way-past-his-prime Kerry Collins at quarterback.
As for the Titans, I'm giving them a mulligan for Monday's performance against the Broncos. After all, Jeff Fisher's squad is still on a 9-2 against the spread (ATS) run on the road; believe me, none of those contests were played against teams that spent more time this week making off-season vacation plans than prepping for this game.
Prediction: Titans
Buccaneers minus 3 vs. RedskinsYes, Washington was able to hang with the Cowboys last week in Dallas. And yes, Washington covered an inflated 11½-point spread, thanks to the Cowboys deciding to go with the old prevent defense late in the fourth quarter. So, kudos for that, but I'm not a fool. I know this is still a team that has given up an average of 33.3 points in its last four games, three of them losses. And had the Skins not staged a miracle rally to beat the god-awful Jets in overtime three weeks ago, they would've lost all four.
The point: Washington is now 5-5 and spiraling toward another losing season under Coach Joe Gibbs, who, like an aging grandfather, clearly needs to give up the keys to the car and settle into his rocking chair with a cold beer and a good book.
Brandon Lang has another NFL football pick and some college selections…

In April of 2011, the City of Austin began the construction of a flood control tunnel along the 1.5 mile stretch of Waller Creek. Upon completion, the tunnel will remove 28 acres from the floodplain, protect the creek from erosion, and help clean the water. Visionary leaders saw the opportunity to catalyze on this investment and transform the 1.5 mile section of the creek into a chain of parks and connected trails. The organization leading the charge, the Waller Creek Conservancy, aims to involve the community in the revitalization of the Waller Creek urban area, which will be under construction for the next decade or more.

Commission for Gabrielle Houle (Mariealbertine) of her character John from her webcomic H&J
I loved drawing this for Gabrielle! I met her work trough the awesome Lily Hoyda (Buttart) and I follow her ever since. Her style is very clever and cool and I do recommend you to check her work and webcomic out. Really good artist and all she's been to me is a real sweet person. I really enjoyed working on this, I added a Jem-esque bg, kinda had my mind set with the idea from the beginning when Gabrielle asked for Tom Selleck's Magnum PI styled clothing so I added more 80's to it haha
H&J The Webcomic site (read the comic trough this link)
Gabrielle's main tumblr is Mariealbertine
Commissions are still open for the slots of January (no notes, email me)

Complex issues like cardiovascular health are best managed using multiple pathways all working together. This is the synergistic approach utilized by Triplichol.
Why These Natural Ingredients?
While each of the nutrients offers individual benefits, science is proving the synergy of these ingredients when used together at therapeutic levels is best.
Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Orthomega fish oils also meet the strictest international trade criteria for trace heavy metals such as mercury, as well as pesticide concentrations such as PCBs anddioxins. Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids from fish are efficacious agents to reduce cardiovascular and overall mortality.
Foods containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, taken twicedaily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet lowin saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of Health suggests the use of plant sterols in conjunction withother lifestyle changes to support LDL cholesterol reduction.
Pantethine is the precursor to cysteamine and pantothenic acid. Pantethine supports normal platelet function, endothelial responsiveness, and has overall antioxidant benefits.Two packets of Triplichol provide 900 mg of pantethine,the recommended daily dose in clinical studies.
Niacin is considered a first-line approach by nearly every panel, including NCEP (The National Cholesterol Education Panel), for maintaining blood lipid levels that are already in the normal range. Our wax-coated technology permits arelease that is complete in 6-8 hours, considered ideal for time-released niacin, while dramatically reducing the flushing effects found in other forms.

They say that the 'patani' or black native chicken is a rare find. And that it is usually sought after by the Chinese for its supposed medicinal properties. And that because it is quite elusive, a kilo of it would cost you a considerable sum.
At Conching's Native Chicken and Fastfood however, it only cost me less than Php300.
It was also an accidental find for me because at that time, I actually had no plans of dining at this newly renovated open air eatery in Cebu. I was just there to buy 2 grilled manok bisaya for my dad who craves for the scrawny yet flavorful fowl.
He would often tell us that those plumpier broiler chickens are now laden with chemicals that we can't even spell. That is why he prefers manok bisaya or the native chicken if he's given the choice. That choice is unfortunately expensive in the city, but in my dad's hometown, they just catch them right outside their backyard. In the countryside, free range chickens are well, free of charge.

Morning run...
The app I have is switching things up with each run now. Slated today for 6 min run, 1 min walk, 4 min run, 6 min walk. (5 min warm up and cool down walks as usual.)
Debated the outside/inside on the track thing. Settled for outside. The sun was getting ready to come up so I was hoping for a pretty sunrise. Switched up my route and headed out. Decided to try putting my phone in my pocket and not watching the countdown for a change.
I hit my first run and took off. Had to pull back to make sure I could make it through the whole thing. I think this is the first time that I have run and thought to myself, "Dear Lord, Girl. Slow down!" I finally pulled back to a comfortable pace and settled in for the 6 minutes. Six minutes later and I was disappointed to hear the word "walk." I jogged a few more steps and started walking. Shortest minute ever. I was off for the 4 minutes in no time and glad to be there. 1 min walk. And I was anxious to get to my final 6 minutes. Which I did successfully. I am astounded at how I felt and how my body reacted. At the end of each run, I was disappointed for the walk and felt I could have kept going.
And then I hit the cool down and the pain hit. It wasn't bad at first. More annoying than anything. It started at the inside base of my ankle and flowed upward to my knee. I had that pain once before when I got my new shoes. I'm thinking that wearing shoes with no support when I'm not running is causing issues. I hobbled my way home and fell into the house to be embraced and tackled by two of the best kids ever.
I'm looking forward to my run on Thursday where I *get* to run for 9 whole minutes. I can't believe I'm looking forward to running for 9 minutes. Next week is my first 20 minute run. Last week I would have thought I'd never be ready. Now I'm thinking "Bring it on!"
I've started looking for a race to run.

Seth Green
West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate."
- Seth Green
Seth Green was a hot commodity from the moment he uttered "cha-ching" in a commercial for Rally's Hamburgers. The proud owner of a pop culture catchphrase before his 18th birthday, Seth Green is now one of the coolest and hardest-working geeks in Hollywood. You can bet your ping pong balls, comic books and action figures on that one. A one-time werewolf on Buffy, a dangerously funny neglected son in the Austin Powers films and a continual loser on Family Guy, Seth Green is now a master pop culture skewer on his self-created stop-motion animation hit, Robot Chicken.
So what makes the red-haired, vertically-challenged Seth Green a catch to the female eye? For one, he's a very funny guy, and for another, he's a full-fledged geek, which isn't such a bad thing if you're successful in Hollywood. A self-proclaimed ping pong professional, as well as a lifelong fan of action figures and comic books, Green is also the only actor to film scenes for the film and television versions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This helped him finish seventh in a Buffy magazine poll of the sexiest males from Buffy and Angel. This accomplishment no doubt earned him a lifetime fan club of Oz enthusiasts who would happily join him for a hot Oz and Willow action figure make-out session before moving on to something a bit more… real? Maybe not.
While he continues to throw his voice around as the monkey-fighting Chris Griffin on TV's immensely popular Family Guy, Seth Green is also the mastermind behind his own Annie-winning and Emmy-nominated television wonder. As the co-creator and frequent vocal contributor to Robot Chicken, he lampoons pop culture figures with ease and has kept the laughs going strong for more than five years. As long as there are sufficient subjects to skew, Seth Green will continue to induce chuckles and dollars. Cha-ching!
Seth Green BiographyFaced with a painful parental divorce and the insecurities of not fitting in at school, Seth Green found relief by acting at a Pennsylvania summer camp and from the wisdom of his childhood heroes Weird Al Yankovic and Robin Williams. At camp, he relished the chance to create characters that were stronger than he was, which in turn, gave him more confidence and a noticeable gift for performing. At the same time, Seth Green took inspiration from the freewheeling humor of Robin Williams, and comfort from the joyful nerdiness of Weird Al Yankovic, who showed him that there was some coolness to be found in geek life after all.
After a brief guest appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1983, Seth Green enjoyed his first major film role in 1984's Hotel New Hampshire, opposite Jodie Foster. Seth Green played her younger brother, Egg, and the Oscar-winning actress later named her film production company after his character. In 1987, Green took a big step forward as a boy living through in the age of radio in Woody Allen's semi-autobiographical drama, Radio Days. Nevertheless, this notable accomplishment paled in comparison to his casting in a 1990 commercial for Rally's Hamburgers, as a cashier who repeatedly says "cha-ching." The fame of spawning the newest North American catchphrase earned him an all-expenses paid trip to New Orleans, an NFL halftime show gig and -- "cha-ching" -- the highly-coveted key to the city.
seth green stars on buffy the vampire slayer and in the austin powers filmsFor the early part of the '90s, Seth Green stayed close to TV with guest spots on Beverly Hills 90210 and The X-Files, along with a featured role on The Byrds of Paradise, featuring his future Can't Hardly Wait co-star, Jennifer Love Hewitt. In 1997, Seth joined the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Oz, a guitarist who just happens to be a part-time werewolf. His casting on the show proved to be significant for at least two reasons. Five years earlier, he had filmed a small role for the original Buffy movie, only to have it cut from the finished film. In addition, he got to suck face with Alyson Hannigan, who had earlier played his girlfriend in the 1989 film, My Stepmother is an Alien. Green remained on Buffy for three seasons before leaving to do voice work on Family Guy as Chris Griffin, a horizontally-challenged student who has spent the better part of the last 10 years being harassed by a closet-dwelling monkey.
Seth Green would also crack the big screen ranks again as an adult, most visibly as Scott Evil, the neglected offspring of Dr. Evil in 1997's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Although he played second fiddle to a scenery-chewing Mike Myers, Green learned the art of improvisation and formed a fun chemistry with the star. He returned for both Austin Powers sequels, with his role growing exponentially each time. Other big screen efforts followed like the money-chasing comedy Rat Race, the Mini Cooper action flick The Italian Job and Without a Paddle, where he duked it out with legendary stunt beast, Bart the Bear.
seth green creates robot chickenIn 2005, Seth Green and his creative partner Matthew Senreich envisioned a satirical series filmed completely in stop-motion animation featuring "characters" ranging from toys to puppets. Originally named Junk in the Trunk, they changed it to Robot Chicken, after a memorable Kung Pao Bistro menu item. The show itself became memorable, as it poked holes in easy celebrity targets like Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and George W. Bush while making a mockery of cultural staples like Frankenstein, Godzilla and Star Wars. In its 70+ episode run, it has also featured celebrity guest stars, with none more important to Seth Green than Weird Al Yankovic himself.
Outside of the Robot Chicken universe, Seth Green continues to embrace his inner geek on the small and big screens, while also finding more time to work with his show business idols. Among other endeavors, he's joined the cool cats of self-parody by making fun of himself on Entourage and enhanced the geekiness of the already-geeky Heroes. In 2009, Seth Green will be seen in a supporting role opposite John Travolta and Robin Williams in the comedy Old Dogs, a project that was notable for Williams' first words upon meeting Seth Green:
"Robot Chicken is awesome."
Seth Green, your Hollywood comedy geek initiation has now come full circle.

According to Epoch Times on Monday, actor Mark Hamill is likely to have facial hair on "Star Wars 7" and Ricky Brigante, host of the "Inside the Magic", posted on his Twitter feed what Hamill mentioned in regards to when he actually shaved it off. Also, Josh Trank has been announced to direct a "Star Wars" spin-off movie.
Hamill was in Orlando and at the age of 62, he seems to be having a blast posing with the Jedi Mickey Mouse as he wields a light saber. The event is called Star Wars Weekends and was held at the Walt Disney World Resort. Hamill also mentioned how he had to alter his diet and partake in quite a workout regimand. During his experience in working with director J.J. Abrams, Hamill discussed how he had explored all aspects of the set, departments, and costuming venues. The project started its filming in Abu Dhabi and was rumored to bring its next location into Scotland.
"I've altered my diet. I've started working out. There's that. But on the film itself: I toured the departments, I've looked at wardrobe, and I saw the creature shop. I went around and met all the cast people, saw the technicians working on some new things."
Also, with Trank at the helm of a "Star Wars" spin-off, there's indeed a reason to be excited since Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy deemed him as quite innovative and imaginative. With him helming the "Fantastic Four" reboot and having "Chronicle" under his belt, there's good reason why Kennedy had chosen someone best suited for the job.
"We're thrilled to welcome Josh into the family. He is such an incredible talent and has a great imagination and sense of innovation. That makes him perfectly suited to Star Wars, and for this new slate of movies that reach beyond the core characters and storylines of Episodes I through IX."
Trank holds the "Star Wars" universe in high regards as it is likely it really influenced his imaginative capabilities that stemmed back to his childhood.
"The magic of the Star Wars Universe defined my entire childhood."
"Star Wars 7" is scheduled to be released come Dec. 18, 2015.

Track & Field Opens Indoor Season at Bob Eubanks Open Friday
Jan. 9, 2014
CHICAGO- The UIC men's and women's track & field teams will begin the 2014 indoor season as they travel to Allendale, Mich., to compete in the Bob Eubanks Open this Friday, hosted by Grand Valley State. The men's first event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. CT., and the first women's event set to start at 10:15 a.m.
Friday's meet commences a seven-week indoor season for both teams, capped off by the Horizon League Track & Field Championships on March 1. The Flames outdoor season will begin in late March.
Live scoring from Fridays meet can be found HERE.
The women's squad returns six seniors this season, after finishing fourth in the 2013 Indoor and fifth-place in the Outdoor Horizon League Championship.
"We always depend heavily on experienced athletes and seniors typically score the biggest percentage of points at our meets," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "I expect each one of the seniors to come home with points at every meet."
Junior Tess Ehrhardt looks to top her 2013 Indoor HL Championship performance when she set a school record in the one-mile run, clocking in with a time of 4:55.54. Ehrhardt finished the cross country season collecting three straight HL Runner of the Week accolades, multiple Illinois National Guard Student-Athlete of the Week awards and was named HL Scholar-Athlete of the Month for October.
"Performances that she (Ehrhardt) hoped for are now ones that she expects," said Knoedel. "It has even made her think about the big meets outdoors with a goal to get to the NCAA West Regional Meet at the University of Arkansas in May."
Additional notable returnees include, sophomore Emma Preston and senior Jaime Johnson who tout indoor one-mile times of 5:04.33 and 5:06.62, respectively.
Elmhurst, Ill., native Rebecca Zaiter set an outdoor Horizon League record in the 1,500-meter run last year, finishing with a time of 4:27.38. Zaiter also competed the 800-meter-run finishing in 2:11.90, accounting for 16 team points.
The men's team took home fifth-place in both the 2013 Indoor and Outdoor HL Championship. Junior Gunnar Sterne set a personal record in the 800-meter run at last year's outdoor conference meet, finishing in fourth place, with a time of 1:53.64. Other contributors included, senior Ryan Blackmon who competed in the 400-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 48.94 seconds.
Multi-event specialist Matt Marzahl, returns for his senior season after placing fourth overall and collecting a total of 5,585 points while competing in the decathlon during the 2013 Outdoor HL Championship. Marzahl participated in all ten events and finished first in the high jump, shot put and discus throw. In the high jump he recorded a score of 1.95 meters, in the shot put competition he logged a throw of 10.99 meters and he threw the discus a distance of 32.56 meters.
Senior Angelos Karkalis finished the 3,000-meter steeplechase in a time of 9:39.57 and teammate Andrew Rosete leaped 4:30 meters in the pole vault competition.
In the field events, significant returnees this season include juniors Richmond Richter and Seyi Ogunleye, and distance runners Thomas Kohs and Photis Karkalis.
"We will be taking a small group to GVS because of the difficulty in getting training in over the break," said Knoedel. "But, the ones we are taking are ready to go and expect to turn in good early season performances."

Chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto disease)
Chronic thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that often results in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism).
Alternative Names
Hashimoto thyroiditis; Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis; Autoimmune thyroiditis
Chronic thyroiditis or Hashimoto disease is a common thyroid gland disorder. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland.
The disease begins slowly. It may take months or even years for the condition to be detected. Chronic thyroiditis is most common in women and in people with a family history of thyroid disease.
In rare cases, Hashimoto disease may be related to other hormone problems caused by the immune system. This condition can occur with adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. In these cases, the condition is called type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA II).
Less commonly, Hashimoto disease occurs as part of a condition called type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I), along with:
Symptoms of Hashimoto disease may include any of the following:
Exams and Tests
Laboratory tests to determine thyroid function include:
Imaging studies are generally not needed to diagnose Hashimoto thyroiditis.
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
A lack of thyroid hormone may develop. You may receive thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine) if your body is not producing enough of the hormone. Or, you may receive it if you have signs of mild thyroid failure (such as elevated TSH). This condition is also known as subclinical hypothyroidism.
If there is no evidence of thyroid hormone deficiency, you may just need to be seen regularly by a health care provider.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy.
Possible Complications
This condition can occur with other autoimmune disorders. In rare cases, thyroid cancer or thyroid lymphoma may develop.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of chronic thyroiditis.
There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Break rooms, water coolers, and parking lots are backdrops for conveying the latest gossip in the workplace. Some employees are more engaged in the personal lives of their coworkers than the productivity of the business. In Laurus Technical Institute, the company instituted a "No Gossip Policy" prohibiting employees from participating or instigating gossip about the company, an employee, or customer. Sound reasonable? Well when Joslyn Henderson was terminated for violating the policy, she sued for violating her rights under the National Labor Relations Act. An administrative judge for the National Labor Relations Board (Board) found in her favor and recommended the company reinstate her employment and compensate her for wages lost.
Does this mean employers must embrace gossip in the workplace? No. It does mean, however, that employers must refrain from prohibiting a broad definition of gossip to avoid restricting protected conduct. For example in Laurus Technical Institute, one of the definitions of gossip was negative, untrue, or disparaging comments of another person or the company. All three adjectives are too broad. Discussing with coworkers disapproval of employee benefits or a manager's lack of leadership may be considered negative commentary and against the policy. That discussion, however, is protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act because employees are discussing workplace conditions. Even discussing conditions that are proven false may still be protected activity under the Act.
In Laurus Technical Institute, Ms. Henderson violated the no gossip policy when she discussed with coworkers the fear of losing their jobs after the company terminated a few employees. She went on to help them apply for employment with a competitor. While the coworkers later complained to management that she was soliciting them to leave the company, the judge held that because the no gossip policy was unlawful and she was terminated for discussing job security with her coworkers under the policy, a protected activity, terminating her employment for those reasons were unlawful.

Introduction: Two Gentlemen of Verona
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is often euphemistically referred to as one of Shakespeare's 'early plays'. This phrase attempts to account for its relative immaturity; aesthetically and dramaturgically it is considered by many to be inferior to the 'later plays'. The actual date of writing is not certain, but the first record we have of it is from Mere's Palladis Tamia, published in 1598. Edward Malone proposed that it is the first work that Shakespeare ever wrote for the stage. Another theory, initially put forward by Clifford Leech, suggests that the play was composed in stages, accounting for some of the textual inconsistencies.
Borrowing from the Portuguese story of Felix and Felismena, the plot focuses on two friends, Valentine and Proteus. Each leaves home and travels from Verona to Milan. Proteus leaves behind his beloved Julia, having exchanged with her rings and promises of "true constancy". On arriving in Milan, Proteus discovers that Valentine has fallen in love with the Duke's daughter Silvia and that they have planned to secretly elope together. Unfortunately, Proteus also falls for Silvia, declaring that "the remembrance of my former love / Is by a newer object quite forgotten". He decides to do whatever it takes to win her for himself. The ensuing drama concerns itself with the limits of male friendship and the foolishness of lovers. The action comes to a climax in one of the most controversial scenes in the canon of Shakespeare's writing. Many of the most famous performances have gained their notoriety because of the way that they have creatively navigated it, prompting Stanley Well's comment that the play "has succeeded best when subjected to adaptation". In the depths of the forest, Proteus threatens to rape Silvia, uttering the infamous line "I'll force thee yield to my desire". However, moments later he is reconciled to Valentine, who, despite being fully aware of what his friend has done, seems to offer him Silvia: "All that was mine in Silvia I give thee". The play closes with Proteus and Julia happily reunited, and a decree that both they and Valentine and Silvia shall be married on the same day, sharing "one feast, one house, one mutual happiness".
Although the popular opinion is that this is one of Shakespeare's least accomplished plays, it has enjoyed a rich stage history. Notably, Peter Hall chose it has his first production as artistic director of the RSC in 1960, and John Barton directed another important RSC production in 1981. The play has been set in almost every imaginable era – the medieval, the renaissance, the music-hall 1930s, the rock-and-roll 1950s, the fashion-obsessed 1990s – and is not always confined to Verona and Milan. It attracted further attention after being featured in the Academy Award-winning film Shakespeare in Love (1998), despite never being explicitly named. The play is regularly admired for its spirited comedy. And for the fact that one of the characters is a dog.

Giordano Bruno: His Life and Thought
1 See pp 30, n. 9; 37, n. 28; 62-70 (for Hariot, pp- 37, 67-8). Grant McColley traces the history of the conception of other inhabited worlds and gives numerous seventeenth century examples in Annals of Science, I, iii (Oxford, 1936), 385-430
2 See pp. 36-7 seqq. Cf. also pp. 116, 125, 150
3 Opera, ed. by Ellis and Spedding, 11, 13. Cf. McIntyre, Op. cit, p. 326. McIntyre notes that Bacon may nevertheless be indebted to Bruno for certain mythological stories, while the suggestion of spiral instead of circular motion of the heavenly bodies (Novum organum [1620], i Aph. 45) might also have arisen in Bacon's mind after reading Bruno's writings. Gentile points out phrases in the Novum organum (Lib. 1, Cap. 48) very close to phrases in The Ash Wednesday Supper. It may be recalled that Bacon himself was not innocent of faith in foolproof intellectual methodsl Gentile notes also passages in Galileo very similar to passages in the same work. Cf. Gentile, "Veritas filia temporis: Postilla Bruniana" in Scritti varii di erudizione e di critica in onore di R. Renier (Turin, 1912), and Gentile, Op. ital., I, 88. Cf. also Spampanato, Quattro filosofi Napolitani nel carteggio di Galileo, 1, 11-35, and Berti, "Storia dei MSS Galileani della bibl. naz. di Firenze" in Atti dei Lincei (1875-76), S. 2a, Vol. III, Part 3, Mem. sc., p. 102.
Campanella (1568-1639), in his desire to reconcile the Church with the new philosophy based on physical experience, denied that Bruno's scientific views were the reason for his being burnt (cf. H. Höffding, History of Modern Philosophy [Eng. edition], I, 159, and Amabile, Fra Tommaso Campanella né castelli di Napoli, in Roma e in Parigi, II, 85, Doc. 197). Campanella cites Cusanus and the Nolan as authorities for the existence of "both other suns and other planets travelling around the stellar firmament" (Apologia pro Galileo [Frankfurt, 1622]). Many years later from his haven in France, he cites Tycho on the subject and repudiates the doctrines of Copernicus and of the Nolan (T. Campanella, Disputationes . . . suae philosophiae [Paris, 1637], pp. 103, 106). The following year he is again considering the views of Cusanus and of the Nolan (Campanella, Universatis philosophiae seu metaphysica . . . rum rerum . . . [Paris, 1638], Pars. III, Lib. II, pp. 52, 54; Lib. 15, p. 105)

19 Galileo, Ed. naz., X, 315. Hasdale or Hastal was a German who had studied in Italy. In 1603 Edmond Brutius or Bruce (see below, n. 23) was writing to Kepler that Galileo described Kepler's discoveries as his own (see Ed. naz., X, 335).
20 J. Kepler, De stella nova serpentaria qui sub ejus exortum de novo inilt trigono igneo (Prague, 16o6), Cap. XXI, 104-101
21 Kepler's correspondence with Brengger concerning De Stella serpentaria is published in the Opera omnia, II, 591-96. They incidentally discuss Bruno's fate. Johann Georg Brengger was a physician of Bâle and later of Kaufburin in Bavaria (Galileo, Ed. naz., XX, indice biografico).
22 John Matthias Wacker (1550-1619) studied law in Strasbourg, Geneva and Padua. Later he settled at Breslau. In 1592 he renounced the reformed faith for Catholicism. Soon after, he was ennobled as Wacker of Wachenfels, and in 1597 he was nominated a member of the Emperor's Council in Prague. In 1616 he was created Count Palatine.
23 Edmondio Brutius was a correspondent of Kepler in 1602 and 1603 (see above, n. 19). The learned editors of the Edizione nazionale of Galileo failed to trace any particulars of him, except in Paolo Gualdo's Latin Vita G. B. Pinelli [1535-1601] (Augsburg, 1607; London, 1704), where Edmond Bruce is described as "a noble Englishman knowing much of the mathematical disciplines, of military matters and of herbaria." The letters to Kepler are from Florence and Padua respectively.
24 Galileo, Ed. naz, X, 320-1 (cf. III, 106). This letter is incorporated in Kepler, Dissertatio cum nuncio siderio nuper ad mortales misso a Galilaeo (Prague, 1610); published also in Galileo, Ed. naz., III, 97-145

Zimmermann of Wayhingen was a distinguished mathematician. He held minor clerical posts, but his unorthodox theology led him to project emigration to Pennsylvania, for which purpose he received from a follower of Penn a grant of money, and from Penn himself a grant of land in the colony. Zimmermann, however, died in Rotterdam when on the point of embarkation.

34 Perhaps by John Toland (1670-1722), the deist and prolific writer on matters political, literary and religious. Toland was a warm defender of Bruno. In his posthumous Collection of Several Pieces (London, 1726), 1, 307-15, is an article entitled "De genere loco et tempore mortis Jordani Bruni Nolani," giving the letter of Scioppius (cf. pp. 179-80). There follows (pp, 316-49) a rather inadequate "Account of Jordano's Book On the Infinite Universe and Innumerable Worlds" with a translation of the Dedicatory Epistle. The translation of the Spaccio, which is anonymous, may however be by a brother-in-law of Toland, William Morehead.
35 This translation is attributed to the Abbé de Vougny in Brunet, Manuel du libraire, I, 1298. Jean Marie Quérard describes him as labbé Louis Valentin de Fougny, conseiller clerc en la grand chambre de parlement et chanoine de léglise de Paris (i.e. Notre-Dame), and mentions besides the 1750 edition of Le ciel réformé another of 1754, the year of de Vougny's death. (Cf. La France littéraire [Paris, 18381, IX, 459-) Salvestrini in his bibliography mentions (No. 94) only the 1750 edition which he attributes to de Vougny, giving him the same titles as in Quérard.

This writer is not to be confused with Zimmermann of Wayhingen. J. J. Zimmermann of Zurich held a succession of theological Chairs.

|cutleaf teasel
|Dipsacus laciniatus L.
|Synonym(s): cut-leaved teasel
Cutleaf teasel is a perennial plant that grows as a basal rosette until sending up a flowering stalk that can reach 6-7 ft. (1.8-2.1 m) in height. The small, white flowers densely cover oval flower heads and are present from July to September. Spiny bracts are located on the ends of flower stems. Opposite leaves are joined at the base and form cups that surround the prickly stem. Cutleaf teasel grows in open, sunny habitats preferring roadsides and other disturbed areas, although it can sometimes be found in high quality areas such as prairies, savannas, seeps, and sedge meadows. Cutleaf teasel was introduced from Europe in the 1700's and spreads by producing abundant seeds. It can be found in the northern states from Massachusetts to Colorado.

Reaction to the rise in rail fares
Rail passengers across the south west are facing a New Year hike in fares. The average rise is 2.2% while season ticket prices are increasing up to 2.5%.
The rail industry has said that this is the lowest annual rise for five years but campaigners say it is hitting them hard.
We caught up with commuters earlier today.
Rail fare rises hit commuters in the South West
Rail commuters in the region face season ticket rises of up to 2.5% from today, with the latest annual increase meaning some fares will have risen well over 20% in the last five years.
The January 2015 increase follows weeks of disruption to rush-hour services with problems for passengers compounded by over-running festive engineering work.
Today's increase sees regulated fares, which include season tickets, going up by up to 2.5%, while the average rise for all fares is 2.2%.
The rail industry has said that this is the lowest annual rise for five years. But campaign groups and trade unions have pointed out that the annual rises in fares have far outstripped the rises in wages and that Britons pay some of the highest rail fares in Europe.
For example, commuters buying a 12 month season ticket from Gloucester to Birmingham will pay £3,860 compared to £3,768 last year. That is a rise of 2.44%. The season ticket for travel between Cheltenham Spa and London goes up from £9,468 to £9,704 - that is up 2.49%.
- Eli-Louise Wringe
Full report: we speak to commuters returning to work as rail fares rise
Passengers unhappy at rail fare hikes
Commuters returning to work after the Christmas break are facing big rail fare increases. Season ticket holders are worst affected - paying 4 percent more to travel. Train companies say it's necessary to fund improvements.
But campaign groups say it's the 10th successive above-inflation rise in the last decade, and that passengers still face long delays and overcrowding.
Rail fare hikes come into effect
The mid-winter will be bleaker for millions of rail travellers today as inflation-busting fare rises take effect.
Fares are increasing by an average of 3.9%.
The rise follows a miserable few weeks for many commuters in the South West who have had to contend with long delays caused by flooding and signal failures.
Last week, over-running engineering work led to serious over-crowding on some trains.
Rail fares on the rise
From today rail ticket prices will rise by an average of 3.9%. The increase has been criticised with claims that services haven't got better - but train companies say it is necessary to fund improvements.
Season tickets have been the worst affected with an average rise of 4.2%.
Cost of Bristol to London commute increases by £620
Bob Constantine reports as people who commute between Bristol and London face paying up to £620 a year more from January. Fares will rise by 3% more than today's rate of inflation - meaning a hike of 6.2% on most tickets.
A 12 month Bristol to Bath ticket could increase by £84 to £1,484.

Halloween Symbols
Development of artifacts and symbols associated with Halloween formed over time encompassing customs of medieval holy days as well as contemporary cultures. The souling practice of commemorating the souls in purgatory with candle lanterns carved from turnips, became adapted into the making of jack-o'-lanterns. In traditional Celtic Halloween festivals, large turnips were hollowed out, carved with faces and placed in windows to ward off evil spirits. The carving of pumpkins is associated with Halloween in North America where pumpkins are both readily available and much larger - making them easier to carve than turnips. Many families that celebrate Halloween carve a pumpkin into a frightening or comical face and place it on their doorstep after dark. The American tradition of carving pumpkins preceded the Great Famine period of Irish immigration and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 1800s.
Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
Trick or Treating
Trick-or-treating is a custom for children on Halloween. Children proceed in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy, or sometimes money, with the question, "trick or treat?" The "trick" is a (usually idle) threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Arizona punter Keenyn Crier has been named the Oct. 15 Pac-10 Speical Teams Player of the Week, commissioner Tom Hansen announced on Monday. The weekly award is the first in Crier's brief UA career and the first for a Wildcat player this season.
Crier, a redshirt freshman,?posted the best day of punting in his young Arizona career against the Trojans. He booted seven punts for a 336 combined yards (48.0 avg), including an 83-yarder - the longest in the Pac-10 this season, the second-longest in school history and the longest at UA since 1930. He placed five of his seven kicks inside the USC 11-yard-line, including one on the USC 4, one on the 2 and one on the 1-yard-line (the 83 yarder). The effort against the Trojans boosted his Pac-10-leading average to 44.4 yards per punt for the year, a figure that ranks him 12th nationally.
Crier and the Wildcats will welcome in Stanford this Saturday for a 4 p.m. tilt at Arizona Stadium

College Hockey:Bochenski Leads Comeback, Nearly Wins It
SCSU Ties Undermanned No. 1 North Dakota
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — When North Dakota senior Brandon Bochenski finally goes to bed tonight, he'll still probably be hearing the clank from his what-could-have-been late heroics Friday night.
Nonetheless he will still sleep pretty well, as the Minnesota native and the rest of the top-ranked Fighting Sioux climbed back from an early 3-0 deficit to skate to a 4-4 tie with No. 8 St. Cloud State before 6,685 entertained fans inside the National Hockey Center.
He did nearly end it though, rocketing a shot off the far post behind Huskies netminder Adam Coole with eight ticks left in the overtime. Had it gone in, it would have capped a near perfect night for Bochenski and his linemates, who together helped ease the absence of Zach Parise, Brady Murray and Drew Stafford, all on the other side of the planet playing in the World Junior Championships.
"We were missing three of our top four forwards and we had some other guys step up tonight," said Bochenski, who along with Quinn Fylling and Colby Genoway on UND's top line accounted for three of the goals and eight total points. "But we got a good character team here and to come in and fight back to get the tie shows that."
Early on it looked like the Sioux had their work cut out for them, as the Huskies tried to bury them in the game's first three minutes. Billy Hengen scored 28 seconds into the game, cleaning up a mess that Jordan Parise made in his own crease. Dave Iannazzo walked around Matt Smaby, worked his way into the slot before firing a puck past a screened Parise less than a minute later to make it 2-0. Then Colin Peters scored into a wide open net at the 3:06 mark, nearly taking the roof off the place, and before anyone had a chance to get comfortable, it was 3-0.
And it could have been worse, as Smaby went off for slashing 20 seconds after Peters made it 3-0 and Genoway was called for holding a minute after Smaby's penalty expired. But North Dakota came through with a pair of huge kills and started to get some get some momentum.
"We started out like a house of fire and then we got those power plays, which they did a good job of killing off and it kind of took us out of our rhythm," said St. Cloud State head coach Craig Dahl. "But we knew after we got up 3-0 in three minutes that there was a lot of game left, we weren't playing the little sisters of the poor."
The team they were playing finally showed up about midway through the first, as the Sioux started to look like the top-ranked team in the land. They got on the board shortly after that when Brian Canady picked up puck that a pair of SCSU defenders couldn't get to and slid it under Coole.
Then Bochenski and Co. started to take over. With St. Cloud's Matt Gens in the penalty box, Genoway took a pass from Matt Greene at the point and blasted a shot that Bochenski redirected in with 1:57 to go in the first, pulling North Dakota to within one at 3-2. He struck again 12 seconds into the second, riffling another pass from Genoway over Coole's blocker, and as fast as it was 3-0, the game was tied at three apiece.
"We fought back hard to get the game tied up again," said Fighting Sioux head coach Dean Blais. "We talked about having someone step up tonight with those three guys gone and tonight at least, I thought Brandon [Bochenski] was the best player on the ice."
He looked like it after setting up Fylling three minutes into the third, threading a pass to his winger that gave North Dakota a 4-3 lead that seemed like it was going to hold. But Joe Jensen finally found some free space in the Fighting Sioux zone late in the third, waited for Andy Schneider to slide by, then beat Parise — who had already committed — high.
"We were pretty fortunate at the end to get one," said Jensen. "This game was too much like a roller coaster though, we need to stay more level. I think we got too excited when we got up 3-0, we need to just maintain."
They'll get another chance to level out tomorrow night, as the two teams meet again. Game time is set for 7:05 (CT).

Relationship Marketing
Distributors are trained to take an interest in you and make you feel important. One of the first books you will be asked to read in your AmQuix career will be "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It is no doubt a good book and teaches many useful interpersonal skills.
"...Another thing I notice they always try to lure you in by trying to relate to you. Whatever interest you name you have, they automatically pretend they like it too, to gain your trust."Site Visitor
"The recruiter starts to learn all about the potential recruit--his hopes, his dreams, fears, relationships, job interests. The more information the recruiter can elicit, the greater his chance of manipulating the person."Steven Hassan "Combating Cult Mind Control" Page 49
These and others are the people skills learned, which are used to make you drop your defenses. It opens you to be more receptive to their propositions, many of which defy common sense. They go to great efforts to learn about you and discuss things, which interest you. The personal relationship developed is the shield, behind which the poor business results of the majority of distributors are hidden. Most distributors are "faking it until they make it". Many of these people will become your next "best" friends, as long as you stay active. They will never be good enough friends to show you their Schedule C on their tax return.
"Everyone in my local group who's actually doing the work at a go-getter level is making money in Quixtar" All (various directs and above) are making more money in Quixtar than in their day jobs".Scott: How do your really know? Did you see their IRS 1040 Schedule C? "Your first question was whether I've seen upline tax returns. Of course not." Site Visitor e-mail exchange
"But no one who 'loved us' has called us, except one or two people downline"Former PSDD, Founders Direct Distributor
Site visitor e-mail says it is best not to prospect your relatives, and close friends. The whole process can strain relationships when they "don't see the light". You need these relationships later if you decide not to continue the business. If the business were so good, why can't a total stranger see the savings benefits for himself without having someone else's name dropped to lend the prospector credibility?
"...I was asked to meet a friend of mine. He was up on vacation. I was happy to see him although he was quite vague as to his purpose. I met him and he started on the program you describe on your site. This is not the first time I have been approached by "old friends." Each one totally avoided the PURPOSE of their desire to see me; they just wanted to talk to me in person. The sad part is that it hurts. I no longer consider these guys my friends. I have lost all respect for them. I want to improve my financial future, but I want to do it honestly without imposing and alienating my family and friends."Site Visitor
"...Whether intentional or unintentional I feel that we have been abused that our home and sense of friendship has been violated by this non-sense."Site Visitor
"..We came clean with our downline and they left the business as did our sponsors...we couldn't live a lie and we felt we owed our downline the truth. Had we known, we never would have brought them into something involving so much deceit."Former Distributor-Site Visitor

I would like to say a formal hello to everyone on this site. I have lurked here for a while just to catch the snippets of news while the unofficial was down. I am now motivated to post as anticipation for the new games rises. Due to my position in Australia, it is darned impossible to get a copy of any Sam and max comic, so I have tied myself over with the games, cartoons and whatever snippets of the comic panels that I can find on the net.
Oh yeah, and if this is you , please tell me so I can remember to ignore you.
who the hell is that good god thats no good
And try ebay
I love the smeel of paypal in the morning!
I forgot to say "hi" to you. Hi!
I should probably make a page on the site about tips on how to somehow obtain copies of the comics. Since the answer seems to be "its basically impossible," the page would probably be pretty short, though.
I usually recommend getting mafia connections. Makes everything more attainable.

I bought this dress brand new at a bridal boutique in Albuquerque a few months ago. I used it one day for 4 hours, for a small wedding with just 9 family members present, and I loved everything about this gown. The lace is expensive, the low v corset back is gorgeous, and the corset back allows you to tie the dress as tight or loose as you want it so you don't have to worry about gaining or losing weight. The train of the dress takes your breath away. It is very comfortable, and feels light despite a little tulle at the very bottom of the dress.
- Alterations: This dress has been worn and altered. It is a size 8. Only alterations made were to the sleeves (took them up slightly) and I paid to add a bustle. The back is a corset back so you can tie it however tight or loose you want, so no alterations needed there. The length for me (I'm 5'5) was perfect with 2" heels. I
- Preservation Method: I have not had this dress laundered so the buyer would need to launder it as the train is now dirty. The dress hangs in our spare bedroom in a wedding dress garment bag.

- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Albuquerque, NM
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense

Baseball Advances To Beanpot Championship With 5-3 Win Over Northeastern
April 9, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - The UMass baseball team has advanced to the Beanpot Championship game for a third consecutive season as the squad posted a 5-3 victory over Northeastern in a Beanpot first round matchup at Earl Lorden Field on Wednesday afternoon. Following the victory, the Minutemen improve to 5-19 overall, while the Huskies fall to 13-17 on the year.
Northeastern began the contest with a 1-0 lead after plating a run in its first trip to the plate. Connor Lyons drew the first of two walks in the inning, moved to third on ground out and scored on an RBI single to left by Nick Fanneron.
UMass tied the score at 1-1 in the bottom of the second after senior Dylan Begin led off with a double to left center and went to third on a ground ball before sophomore John Jennings brought in the run with a sacrifice fly to center.
The Minutemen then pulled in front in the third as redshirt junior Kyle Adie reached with a single to right center and later scored with senior Nick Sanford caught in a rundown between first and second.
In the bottom of the sixth UMass put up the biggest inning of the day, scoring three runs on three hits and sending eight batters to the plate to increase its advantage to 5-1. Adie drew a four-pitch walk, stole second, went to third on a passed ball and scored when Sanford reached on an error. Begin and senior Nik Campero followed with singles to load the bases, while sophomore Brandon Walsh drove in Sanford with a fielder's choice. Campero came in for the Minutemen's final run on a sacrifice fly by redshirt junior Adam Picard.
Four singles by the Huskies in the sixth trimmed the margin to 5-3 as Connor Lyons and Michael Foster drove in Gabe Levanti and Cam Hanley, respectively.
However, freshman Tommy McDonald entered to pitch a scoreless eighth and ninth and allowed just one hit with no walks and one strikeout to earn his first career save. Junior Andrew Grant tossed a solid seven innings in his start and picked up the win (1-1) as he let up three runs on seven hits with three walks and nine strikeouts. Isaac Lippert took the loss (1-3) for Northeastern as he surrendered three runs, two earned, on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts in five innings on the hill.
Adie (2-for-3), Sanford (2-for-4) Begin (2-for-4) and Jennings (2-for-3) combined for eight of UMass' nine hits on the afternoon. Adie scored two runs, as well, and has now reached base in 16 straight games.
The Minutemen will be back in action this Friday, April 11, when the squad will play host to Saint Louis in the opener of a three-game Atlantic 10 series at 3 p.m. on Earl Lorden Field. UMass will face Harvard in the Beanpot Championship game on April 21 at Northeastern.

NY Times: Puberty in Preschool
In Disease-Proof Your Child Dr. Fuhrman discusses the onset of early puberty in children consuming the Western diet. No one wants to think about preschoolers going through puberty, but a recent article in The New York Times investigates and the information is startling. Darshak M. Sanghavi reports:
Much of Disease-Proof Your Child describes the trend toward earlier puberty--which correlates with later cancer risk--and makes specific recommendations. Dr. Fuhrman describes how a diet heavy with fruit and vegetables, especially starting at a young age, can play a major role.
Increasingly — though the science is still far from definitive and the precise number of such cases is highly speculative — some physicians worry that children are at higher risk of early puberty as a result of the increasing prevalence of certain drugs, cosmetics and environmental contaminants, called "endocrine disruptors," that can cause breast growth, pubic hair development and other symptoms of puberty.In addition to these potential causes Sanghavi cites a study from The Lancet that connected breast enlargement among hundreds of Italian schoolchildren to estrogen contamination of beef and poultry.
Most commonly, outbreaks of puberty in children are traced to accidental drug exposures from products that are used incorrectly.
Much of Disease-Proof Your Child describes the trend toward earlier puberty--which correlates with later cancer risk--and makes specific recommendations. Dr. Fuhrman describes how a diet heavy with fruit and vegetables, especially starting at a young age, can play a major role.
Worldwide, there is a linear relationship between higher-fat animal products, saturated fat intake, and breast cancer.1 However, there are areas of the world even today where populations eat predominantly unrefined plant foods in childhood and breast cancer is simply unheard of. Rates of breast cancer deaths (in the 50-to-70 age range) range widely from 3.4 per 100,000 in Gambia to 10 per 100,000 in rural China, 20 per 100,000 in India, 90 per 100,000 in the United States, and 120 per 100,000 in the United Kingdom and Switzerland2…For more on this topic, check out these previous posts:
…Fat cells produce estrogen, so excess fat on the body during childhood results in more estrogen production. A large volume of high fiber from fruits and vegetables in the gut serves to lower circulating estrogen naturally. The high fiber and the resultant healthy bacteria that colonize the gut of a person consuming a high produce diet conjugates (binds together) estrogens so they are more readily excreted in the stool. As estrogen cycles into and out of the digestive tract, a person eating more animal products and less high-fiber vegetation reabsorbs more estrogen from the digestive tract, rather than losing more in the stool.
Diet powerfully modulates estrogen levels. One recent study illustrated that eight-to-ten-year-olds, closely followed with dietary intervention for seven years, dramatically lowered their estrogen levels compared to a control group with dietary modification.3 Clearly, changing the diet of our children after the age of eight is not futile. It will lower the risk of developing cancer, even when the most sensitive years affecting growth and age of puberty have passed. The good news is that we are not helpless after childhood to reduce the risk.

A Great Short: Eric Goes West
Ryan Nelson is a designer who works for screenwriter John August. Ryan and his wife Amy produced a short that I just found on the John August blog that, according to August, played at Slamdance last year. It is the epitome of working with you've got available to you like a sailboat and a blowup sex doll. Oh, and a Panasonic AF100, a friend who can act well, and a good idea. Directed by Dee Austin Robertson, it's a fabulous short and well worth nine minutes of your day. Eric Goes West makes it into the PCN Screening Room.

According to a Jan. 28 report from Bloody Elbow, hard-hitting knockout artist Pat "HD" Barry (15-5-1) has taken an indefinite leave from MMA competition to pursue standup striking opportunities.
Barry, 34, initially found success in combat sports from K-1 kickboxing, and it seems like he's interested in going back to his roots.
Barry says he is hanging up the MMA gloves because he doesn't want to wrestle anymore. As most fight fans know, wrestling is a key discipline in the MMA game.
"After long discussions with our client Pat Barry over the recent weeks, he has come to the decision that he will be taking an indefinite leave from competing in MMA," Barry's agent, Brian Butler, said. "The UFC and Zuffa have been very gracious in releasing him from his contract and Pat is very grateful for everything they have done for him and his career."
Barry explained that he could go back to MMA someday, but for now he's looking into fights that don't involve wrestling.
"Over the past few fights I've just had this sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I have stepped into the Octagon and I realize, I don't want to wrestle," Barry said. "Not saying I will never do MMA again, but right now I just want to hit people. MMA and the UFC have been great to me and I will always support the company and the sport. I want to thank all my fans, sponsors and haters for being with me on this journey and I look forward to what future holds."
Butler hinted that Barry could head back to the kickboxing world, where he found some success in the mid-2000s.
"Pat and I have talked about this for a while now and with recent changes in the landscape of combat sports, he wants to explore some options and try to get back to his roots," Butler explained. "He's going to take a little time to clear his head and then we will explore our options. We will keep you posted on things as they develop."
Barry was knocked out in three of his past four fights, so it might be in his best interests to get back to a place where he found some of his greatest success.
