"There's not a huge doom metal scene in Cincinnati." – Zac Schmidt
It's a weekday afternoon in early autumn, and I'm holding my ears as a deep cacophony erupts around me. The roar of electric guitars pummels my brain into submission as it bounces off the walls of this partially finished basement. I slip back upstairs and outside to my car, parked on the street, to grab some earplugs. On my way, I'm intercepted by a neighbor, who gestures in the direction of the muffled thunder seeping out of the basement door – "What the hell is that?"
I fumble through an explanation of the music he's hearing, because it's clear he hasn't heard this kind of thing before. It's the music of Grey Host, and they're a doom metal band.
There's so much more to metal than the chords and scales underlying its musical structure. Like many corners of popular music, metal is better defined by its ancillary imagery and attitude: extreme distortion and aggression, menacing bass, angry chords, and violent drums. It doesn't hurt if there are some lyrics about death, destruction, and wizards in there as well.
For the uninitiated, the subgenre of "doom" metal explores the depths of metal's inherent darkness. It's often characterized by severely detuned guitars treated with rumbling fuzz, slow tempos, and thundering drums with a terrifying bottom-end. It's meant to elicit dread, brutality, and terror.
Grey Host is a Cincinnati band who take up the doom metal mantle with pride. They certainly have all the necessary elements: they play detuned guitars through saturated tube amplifiers, the drums pound with a hypnotic beat, there are tortured throat screams. But they habitually transcend doom metal conventions as well. Rather than slopped together as a mountain of distortion, the multiple guitar parts seem carefully composed for an almost symphonic effect. Occasional slide playing from guitarist Jason Nix injects a Spaghetti Western timbre. Their flirtations with adventurous song structure and rhythms alternately from the depths of experimental drone to eastern raga and prog-rock.
"I'm really into cinematic music . . . " says Nix. " . . . old western, droney music. Injecting melodies and those motifs into the regular drone aspect [. . .] current bands that have that kind of feel, like Ancestors, come to mind." Nix cites the addition of keyboardist Evan Roberts as bringing more of a focus on electronic and experimental music.
As "out-there" as all this sounds, this music was originally kicked off by a mutual love for downing beers and banging the shit out of their instruments. When I interviewed the band at their practice space, the basement of a house in the sidestreets of Clifton which has served as an occasional home for a rotating assortment of musicians and friends, including several members of Grey Host, the evening felt more like a party than a practice. The guys were having a cookout with guests and roommates in addition to banging out brutal tunes downstairs. Between sets of vicious distortion-fueled rage, they hovered over grills of bratwurst and turkey burgers, complementing each other on special seasonings and enjoying a few Hudepohls. It was clear that Grey Host take just as much enjoyment in hanging out together as they do creating sonic havoc.
"I was in a black metal band in college," says singer and guitarist John Sebastian, recounting the primordial beginnings of Grey Host. "It started off as black metal and turned into some weird drone thing. Then I started boozing it up, I guess, and started writing some riffs. When [drummer] Zac [Schmidt] and I got together the first time, we were both pretty drunk."
Schmidt concurs. By the sound of it, the band had come together out of a mutual feeling of "what-the-fuck"-ness.
"The whole idea was like, what else are we doing right now?" says Schmidt. "We don't really play music anymore with other people, so let's just get drunk and play music to have fun. It seems stupid, but it was funny and it was fun at the time. And eventually, it was like, 'This has potential . . . there are some cool riffs happening here.'"
Schmidt admits that he hadn't considered joining a doom metal band before this. In fact, it was Roberts, who would eventually become Grey Host's keyboardist, who introduced him to the (often challenging) genre.
"Evan had actually got me into Electric Wizard in college . . ." he recalls. "I think it was [the album] Dopethrone. It was one those albums where, for the first two years I had it, I couldn't fuckin' listen to the whole thing! I loved it, I was like, 'This is so dark and heavy it's great! But I can't finish it.' I was in love with it, but couldn't finish it."
The experience, however, prepared him for his work in Grey Host.
"When John started playing a riff," remembers Schmidt, "I was like, 'Oh, I know exactly where this is going. I know what I'm playing now.' John and Jason were on the same page with what they were playing, I was just kinda like, 'Cool! I get to hit shit as hard as I can and play real slow? I'm cool with that!'"
Grey Host have had something of a difficult time finding shows with bills of bands who fit their style. They're often lumped in with either throaty conventional metal or hip indie rock. Although they've found kinship with groups who have something of a similar sound, like Mephitic Husk and Mollusk, as Schmidt says, there still really aren't that many doom metal bands in Cincinnati.
"There are some bands we play with who we get along with, and other bands we haven't played with yet but we know we get along with and they make sense," he says, "But I feel like a lot of shows we play are way more metal than we are, like tough guy, fuckin' 'METAL!' Those guys are great, but it's just a mismatch."
Bassist Sean Casey, the most recent addition to the Grey Host lineup, chimes in: "As a spectator, which I've been most of the time, it's always really weird shows. Like a bunch of indie bands, and then just heavy shit, and you've got a bunch of kids who have no idea what to expect, and they're just blasted."
When I saw Grey Host perform a couple weeks after this band practice, at a metal showcase at the Drinkery in Over the Rhine, I noticed that they did stick out. Even in a lineup of mostly sludgy, droney, and left-of-center metal bands, Grey Host sounded like a more fully-thought out and interesting combination. I was impressed with how the intricate guitar lines I heard during practice breathed onstage and gave depth to the raw power they projected in their songs. Grey Host have either taken the time to carefully plan out how what they're all doing so it's synthesized into a detailed and interesting whole, or they all just have really good ears and have somehow found a way to improvise beautifully.
Their aesthetics are thought-provoking, but they managed to keep a dangerous and explosive slant, as Schmidt ended their set by kicking apart his drum kit and knocking over all his stands. The other members quickly exited, leaving the stage with toms and cymbals strewn around as their abandoned guitars created wailing feedback loops with still-live amplifiers. It was pretty doom.
Grey Host are currently putting the finishing touches on their first full-length album. They say it sounds killer, with experimentation in mid-song Middle Eastern interludes, but with the same overall heaviness they've always been about. If the record is anything like what I've seen from the band in person, I can't wait to hear it.
These guys are sick.

Chico Mann: Plastic Keys, Blinking Lights And Burbling Beats
Marcos Garcia took his alter ego Chico Mann not from the 1970s TV series Chico and the Man but from a bit of dialogue in the early-'80s hip-hop film Wild Style. For years, Garcia was best-known as one of the members of the New York Afrobeat ensemble Antibalas. But one day, he began tinkering with his daughter's Casio keyboard, and since then he's only built on his arsenal of electronic playthings.
Hear The Music
Comes And Goes
Though Chico Mann's songs are obviously built for today's dance floors, his influences are clearly vintage. On his latest album, Magical Thinking, he's leapt back to the early 1980s style known as boogie. This is not the boogie of the rock 'n' roll pneumonia and boogie-woogie flu days; it's a retroactively named genre that arose from the ashes of post-disco and funk music. Boogie is known for its big bubblegum bass lines and sticky stacks of synthesizers, and Mann digs deep into both here.
While boogie's bounce is front and center on Magical Thinking, Mann still preserves a connection to Garcia's other musical loves, including the distinctive, twitchy rhythms of Nigerian Afrobeat and the rapid pulse of Dominican merengue.
For an album that so broadly draws on styles across time and place, Magical Thinking could be right at home in practically any sweaty basement club around the world. There's a sense of sonic frolic, as if Mann was rapidly throwing ideas at the studio wall, with most of them sticking. That playfulness seems fitting for an artist who began with a toy store keyboard. Three albums later, he sounds like he's having just as much fun, banging away amid plastic keys, blinking lights and burbling beats.

ZURICH -- It was reminiscent of October 2009 when Chicago lost out to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The United States suffered a similar disappointment today in Zurich when the tiny desert nation of Qatar was selected as host of the 2022 World Cup.
The 22 voters on FIFA's executive committee, some accused of corruption in the weeks leading up to their meeting, picked Russia to stage the 2018 tournament, another first-time host.
Qatar, an oil-rich nation that has been independent since 1971 is smaller than Connecticut and its population of about 1.7 million is 500,000 less than Houston.
Qatar has promised to overcome heat of up to 130 degrees with air conditioned outdoor stadiums. It led on every round of balloting that initially included Australia, Japan and South Korea.
The lowest vote-getter was eliminated after each round until only the U.S. and Qatar remained. Qatar won the final vote 14-8.

Process of Elimination
Photo: Hubbell, Roth Clark Inc.
Western Townships Utilities Authority in southeast Michigan budgeted $600,000 to replace 3000 feet of sanitary sewer that runs along the bottom of a ravine at depths of more than 20 feet. When closed circuit televising revealed open joints, cracks, and groundwater infiltration, the authority decided to restore the 64-year-old interceptor using in-situ lining. Because leakage at the joints and cracked pipe would inhibit curing, they were pressure-grouted before the lining was installed. Total cost: less than $200,000.
Landmark tree-lined streets: A spider web of buried utility lines. The Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Farms saved $100,000 while preserving tree roots by replacing 9000 feet of 4- and 6-foot deteriorated cast-iron water main with 8-inch HDPE pipe. Here, workers guide a bursting head into a launch pit. As the old pipe is 'bursted' out of the way, the new pipe is pulled in behind.
At first, it looked like pipe bursting was the ideal way to replace a force main in Ann Arbor, Mich. But a geotechnical analysis showed that soils at the pipe's elevation were loose, and that it was dangerously close to an old, 16-inch water main. That, and because the main had to cross a cemetery entrance as well as an interstate bridge, prompted the city to leave the old pipe alone and lay 3700 feet of 8-inch HDPE at a deeper elevation using horizontal directional drilling. Savings over open-cut construction: $400,000.
Last summer, Matt Carter and his crews were like kids with a new toy.
He'd rented an 88-ton TT Technologies static pipe-bursting machine to replace 1200 feet of 6-inch and 650 feet of 8-inch cast-iron water line beneath two- and four-lane roads with HDPE. They were just two of the 30,000 feet of repairs and replacements Water District No. 1 of Johnson County, Kansas, makes each year to 2600 miles of ductile-iron and cast-iron pipes serving 35,000 customers in 16 cities.
He also rented a slip-lining winch. But Carter, who's the district's project engineer and infrastructure planner, chose a difficult job: a 1400-foot segment with 12 service connections. Though the slip lining itself took only four hours, coordinating the job, he says, "was killer."
Today, Carter's trying to decide whether to buy the TT Technologies machine or a 100-ton Vermeer HammerHead unit.
"It's not inexpensive," he acknowledges. "But that pipe-bursting project cost 20% less than traditional cut-and-cover. At least half our pipes are good candidates for pipe-bursting, so we're figuring pay-back within one year."
Like every infrastructure manager trying to capitalize on the benefits of trenchless construction, Carter went through a process of elimination to determine what method works best for his agency's unique situation.
Unlike the Water District No. 1 of Johnson County, though, most public works departments contract out the work. And here's where things get tricky.
Trenchless construction is multidisciplinary and mistakes are expensive. In addition to using specialized equipment, it requires contractors to design and manage the drilling slurry—called "mud"—that supports the drill hole and through which earth is brought to the surface during horizontal directional drilling. Once limited to HDPE pipe, trenchless projects can incorporate ductile iron and PVC.
When "working blind," the quality of the installation depends on the quality of geotechnical and utility-locate information available to the designer and contractor. The steps required to gather this information, though, can increase design costs 10% to 30%, says Arvid Veidmark III, senior estimator for Specialized Services Co. in Phoenix, an underground construction consulting firm. But you'll pay up to four times the original estimate to adjust design and construction later.
To ensure long-lasting, cost-effective installation, consider the following:
Require the contractor to visually verify the location of all existing utilities before excavating. Don't be satisfied with marking paint and locate flags placed based on as-built drawings, which often don't reflect updates; or on information provided by one-call centers that often gather and share the same inaccurate information.
The Water District No. 1 of Johnson County in Kansas uses vacuum excavators to find utilities by "pot holing." These utility trucks use pressurized water or air to break up soil and suck it into an onboard tank debris tank. They're extremely fast: In Overland Park, Kansas, crews dug a 30-inch hole in 26 seconds to find a cable television line without harming it.
Overland Park, by the way, has come far in controlling work in the right of way. Between 2000 and the end of last year, contractors from 20 states broke gas lines and water mains almost daily while laying conduit and both coaxial and fiber-optic cable for incoming Internet, phone, and cable TV providers, otherwise known as "fiber to the node" or "fiber to the premises."
It was, says right of way coordinator Murv Morehead, "barely controlled chaos."

By Danza Johnson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Banning text messaging while driving and giving radar to sheriff's departments are at the top of area law enforcers' 2011 legislative wish lists.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson and Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said saving lives should be the top criteria while lawmakers decide what funds to allocate to the state's police.
Johnson, Tolar and several other Mississippi sheriffs have been trying to get radar in patrol cars but have been unsuccessful. A bill to allow the speed-measuring devices in county vehicles has been killed at least seven consecutive years, according to Johnson.
"My number one wish for the legislators would be to let the county use radar to slow some of these cars down on county roads," said Johnson. "There are more accidents where speed is involved on county roads than in any other area. People are losing their lives and radar is a tool we can use to slow these vehicles down. But right now our hands are tied."
Tolar agrees.
"The state Sheriff's Association has pushed for radar for years but it gets shut down in Jackson every year," said Tolar. "We don't want these devices to boost revenue for the county, but to save lives and make traveling county roads safer."
Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin has radar, but it doesn't protect motorists from drivers who are text messaging.
"We have to address this issue of cell phones and texting while people are driving," said Martin. "It is a very dangerous distraction and it's going to cost someone their life."
Thirty states currently have laws against texting and driving and 11 of those laws were passed in 2010.
Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton, Tolar, Johnson and Itawamba County Sheriff Chris Dickinson all agreed that texting while driving should be outlawed.
When 2010 started, the usual drugs of meth, crack cocaine and marijuana were what law enforcers dealt with on a regular basis. Then the marijuana substitute Spice hit the market and the Legislature was forced to create laws to ban the incense that was sold over the counter but used for cheap highs.
Now law enforcers are hoping that lawmakers take the same approach to the latest, but more dangerous convenience store product, Ivory Bath Salts.
Dickinson said his deputies are battling people high on the crystallized salts on a weekly basis and the encounters are getting more volatile. The bath salt is a meth-like substance that can be found in stores and is smoked to gain a high. It causes hallucinations and problems for law enforcement.
"My number one concern is for someone to do something about this Ivory Salt," said Dickinson. "I've had deputies injured from wrestling people on it and it's getting worse. This stuff is serious and someone will be hurt or killed and it could be a deputy."
Other hot-button issues for officers are retirement benefits, better certification requirements for sheriffs and serial number regulation changes for ATVs.

Yik Yak, an anonymous social chat app, is coming under fire by teachers, parents and others for ostensibly being nothing but a platform to spew hateful, toxic cyber-bullying banter while hiding behind faceless, social site anonymity.
According to CNN on Monday, the location-based app is wreaking havoc "from Chicago, to Georgia, to Southern California," and "causing problems on middle school and high school campuses across the United States."
App co-creator Brooks Buffington explains how it works:
"The app was made for college-age users or above, for college campuses and to act as a virtual bulletin board, so it acts as local Twitter for their campus," Buffington said, adding that the app already has "a couple hundred thousand users, mainly in Southeast/East coast campuses," despite being rolled out only a few months ago.
Similar to Twitter, there is a character limit (200 is the max). No pictures are allowed on Yik Yak, and the app works along with GPS positioning on a Smartphone to create a virtual chat room which can accommodate up to 500 users at one time.
But in this day of cyberbullying, students are ramping up use of Yik Yak to deliver nasty insults while hiding behind their cowardice shield of anonymity.
As per NakedSecurity.com: "In fact, the application supposedly restricts use to those over the age of 17, in acknowledgement of the idea that it takes a bit of maturity to post comments anonymously about the people and things around us without it turning into a YouTube-comments-like toxic waste dump."
However, much like other sites that "restrict" minors, there is no way to actually prevent someone from simply lying and gaining access to the app.
At Whitney Young High School in Chicago, students and faculty spoke out about Yik Yak.
"Students were actually coming downstairs to talk to administration, and they were mentioning remarks posted and student names that were obvious, so of course that is going to impact you," said Melvin Soto, assistant vice principal at Whitney Young.
"They ripped on someone for getting raped, and that's just so wrong. They said a whole lot of bad things about this girl," Whitney Young student Rachel Brown said.
CNN says "some students have compared it to a virtual bathroom wall where users post vitriol and hate."
According to Boston CBS Local, the misuse of the app caused a high school to be evacuated – twice.
The Chicago Tribune reports that "at least four Chicago-area high schools issued warnings about Yik Yak in the past two weeks, with most principals asking parents to remove the app from their children's phones and make sure the teens don't reinstall it."
And the Los Angeles Times said that schools in Beverly Hills and San Clemente were recently put on lockdown because of hoaxes spread via Yik Yak.
The above articles are just a smattering of the negative opinions and press that the app has already created. And the fact that it's only a few months old is a menacing thought.
As with all social activity, it comes down to the parents to inform, and monitor if need be, their child's use of social media. Here are 10 tips from Safer Internet Day 2014, linked on NakedSecurity.com, to get you started.

I've never been a fan of Lindsay Lohan. This is partly because my movie-watching habits don't include too many Disney live action films, which is where "LiLo" did some of her best work. I also don't watch cable channels such as Lifetime, which aired the TV-movie "Liz & Dick" in 2013.
Mostly, though, I don't watch Lindsay Lohan movies because I can't separate my low opinion about her off-screen shenanigans from her onscreen work. Maybe I'm being unfair, but it's hard to watch her on television and not think, "Wow. This chick's acting career peaked when she made 'Mean Girls' a decade ago!"
And yet, "Mean Girls" is one of the funniest films of the teen-in-high school genre that I've ever seen. (Granted, this genre is not among my favorites, but I can watch any movie as long as it holds my attention.)
Although the 2004 satire about an intelligent-but-naive high school girl who is thrust into a very confusing world of cliques and culture shock wasn't released by NBC-Universal, it might as well have been, because it's essentially a Saturday Night Live cavalcade of stars. Its producer is SNL creator/producer Lorne Michaels, it was written by Tina Fey, and its cast includes many veterans from the venerable comedy skit show, particularly Tim Meadows, Anna Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Neal Flynn, and - of course - Fey, who plays a recently divorced math teacher named Ms. Norbury.
"Mean Girls" focuses mainly on the misadventures of Cady Heron (Lohan), a bright and cute 15-year-old who has been home-schooled in Africa by her anthropologist parents (Flynn, Gastheyer). As a result, she's academically smart but not prepared for the true social jungle that is the average suburban American high school.
Having thus been isolated from the average adolescent world of popularity contests, socializing, and even dating, Cady finds her new "digs" more confusing and even scary. Her directness and naïve ways turn off everyone.
Her other problem is that although - as her new friends Damian (Daniel Franzese) and Janis (Lizzy Caplan) point out early on - she's a "hottie," Cady has never had any dating experience, so she's clueless about what to do when she falls for Aaron (Jonathan Bennett) a cute guy in her math class, who just happens to be the ex-boyfriend of Cady's soon-to-be nemesis: Regina George (Rachel McAdams).
Regina, of course, is the Queen Bee of Evanston High School. She's the most popular, most sought-after girl of her class, and she knows it.
Janis: And evil takes a human form in Regina George. Don't be fooled because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bag, but in reality, she's so much more than that.
Damian: She's the queen bee.
The "queen bee" simile is apt, because she's also the leader of the uber-snobbish trio known as "The Plastics," which includes the obseqious and gossippy Gretchen Weiners (Lacey Chalbert) and the airheaded Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried).
That Regina and Cady will become frenemies is inevitable, partly because Cady's relationship with the Plastics is part and parcel of Janis' long-awaited scheme for revenge, and partly because the two characters are polar opposites. It's also a cliche situation in many teen comedies, but here it's done in a take-no-prisoners satiric stab by Fey, whose talents as a writer have been evident both on SNL and 30 Rock.
Fey based her screenplay on Rosalind Wiseman's non-fiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes. In "Mean Girls," she mines the social and cultural folkways and mores of American high school not just for the biting comedic potential, but also tells some truths about them without being either too realistic or too over-the-top with teen movie clichés.
"Mean Girls" also benefits greatly from Mark Waters' direction. A veteran producer who also was involved in The House of Yes and the well-received remake of Freaky Friday, Waters not only had a good working relationship with Lohan, but he also understands such things as giving audiences a new spin on a pretty well-established genre.
The teaming up of Fey (who's not only funny but curiously sexy as a recently divorced teacher) and Waters is, I think, serendipitous. They avoid obvious teen movie cliches, such as parties that trash homes or "T&A" sex scenes intended to draw in reluctant male viewers, and when they do embrace cliches, they do it with wit and a lot of creative energy.
Thus this movie marks the high tide mark of Lohan's career in movies until her now-famous meltdowns. Admittedly, this is the only movie of hers that I've watched, but in "Mean Girls" she pulls off the trick of balancing comedy and teen angst pretty damn well, so it's interesting to speculate how good she would still be if she hadn't crashed and burned emotionally with her partying lifestyle and DUI arrests.

Exports of Another Type: The Determinants of Interstate Transmission of Terrorism
Victor Asal
State University of New York at Albany
R. Karl Rethemeyer
SUNY University at Albany
August 22, 2011
While the majority of quantitative terrorism research has emerged since September 11th (Silke 2004), one area that has long been the subject of quantitative analysis is international or transnational terrorism (Silke 2004) (Plümper and Neumayer 2010) (Enders and Sandler 2006). While there has been a great deal of work examining where transnational terrorism is likely to happen (Krieger and Meierrieks 2011) and some work on why some countries are targeted and where terrorism is likely to originate, " there has been very little work on the patterns of international terrorism of links between the terrorists' home country and the victims' country" (Plümper and Neumayer 2010, 75) with the notable exception of work by Plümper and Neumayer (2010). Plümper and Neumayer (2010) improve upon much of the existing work by using a dyadic design and find that attacking allies - particularly stronger allies that are more democratic helps to explain the export and import of terrorism between countries. This paper broadens and improves on the dyadic approach by using a stochastic approach - specifically an exponential random graph model (ERGM) - to model patterns of import and export of terrorism. ERGMs and other stochastic approaches to social network analysis are useful because they allows us to properly control for the dependencies inherent in the data. Standard statistical approaches assume independence between the observations, which obviously does not obtain in the context of network data. Our approach also allows us to search for structural regularities in the pattern of interconnections that may help to explain what is observed - for instance, a tendency for import/export patterns to be transitive in nature or to form core-periphery structures. Controlling for these tendencies more carefully allows us to better isolate other factors as drivers of import/export behavior. To conduct this study, we use data from the Global Terrorism Database (LaFree and Dugan 2007) for the years 1998-2006 as well as country-level co-variates from the Quality of Government database (Teorell, Holmberg, and Rothstein 2008) and data on dyadic relationships between states from the Correlates of War datasets. We argue that the factors that are most likely to trump others when it comes to the export and import of terrorism are contiguity militarized interstate disputes. In addition we explore the impact of the political situation and regime within a given country, the nature of religious and ethnic affiliations, economic and development factors, and experience with conflict and civil strife.

The weight-loss show The Biggest Loser still has a large audience. Walk around the gym at 8pm on a Wednesday and you will see it playing on at least a dozen treadmill TV's. People are fascinated by life-changing events. People are also very interested in losing weight.
Boston's Andrea Baptiste, a contestant on the 2004 show, has kept her weight off and now works for Healthworks Fitness Centers for Women. But not all of the stories coming from The Biggest Loser camp are happy ones.
Many in the health and fitness profession have frowned upon the methods used on the show. An article in the NY Times from November '09 highlighted these issues, and some of the awful results that followed.
A few of the glaring problems include dehydration methods, over-taxing already unhealthy hearts and unsustainable rates of weight-loss. Contestants have dehydrated to the point of urinating blood in order to "make weight" for the contest. Others have been carted to the hospital for heat exhaustion. The most consistently misunderstood aspect of the show involves the high expectation for weekly rates of losing weight. Doctors and most fitness professionals agree that a healthy, sustainable rate of weight-loss is 1-2 lbs per week. But contestants on the show are expected to lose a minimum of 5 lbs per week, and often much more than that.
Those who have hit the gym for New Year's resolutions should keep these facts in mind. Do yourself a favor and get a good personal trainer who can set up a reasonable, personalized fitness plan. Spare yourself the high expectations (and risks) you see in an extreme show that is designed for entertainment rather than education.
Think of it this way: in order to achieve and maintain a healthy, desirable weight, you need to change your mindset and daily habits. This cannot be forced on you - even by Jillian Michaels - and in fact works better if it is done gradually over time. Patience and persistence are the name of the game.

Pakistan: One year later, working together to recover
August 2, 2011 by Euan Robinson
|With education from IRC protection teams, community-based committees in Pakistan's Sindh province are helping local women to learn about their rights, talk about their problems and rebuild their lives after last year's floods. Peter Biro/IRC
Euan Robinson, IRC-UK policy officer, recently visited Sindh province in Pakistan, one of the regions hit the worst by last year's floods.
"The day the floods came, we lost everything we had – our houses, money, cattle and infrastructure were all totally destroyed." - Razia Sultana
For people across Sindh province, last year's floods changed everything. Today, I visited Tart Moriyo, a village near Shikarpur which, like so many communities across Sindh, saw its way of life washed away by the rising water.
Walking down the dusty path through the village, the impact of the floods on people's lives is still clear even twelve months on. The rough outlines of four walls are all that is left of homes swept away by the power of the floodwater. For many families, home is now a canvas tent where their house once stood.
The local school stands locked and boarded, its classrooms and corridors gutted by the water and now filled with mud and silt. Children play cricket in the shade of the school, its only practical use at the moment. Visible watermarks on the outer walls show how high the floods reached – a full meter and a half off the ground in places.
Razia Sultana is the information secretary of the women's protection beneficiary committee (PBC), established by the IRC. IRC protection teams educate the community-based PBCs on rights under Islamic, national and international laws. The PBCs then pass this knowledge around the community, helping their neighbors access any help and support that is available. Tearfully, Razia explains to me how the committees helped local women through the trauma of the floods.
"When we created the PBCs we focused on helping people in the worst-hit areas. As the information secretary, my job is to find those women who are most vulnerable – widows and the disabled. I identify who they are and make sure that they get the help they need."
As well as identifying the most vulnerable, the PBC's provide opportunities for women to get together to discuss their concerns, learn their rights and entitlements, and take collective action to access available assistance.
"When the committee meets we talk about the difficulties we have educating our children and accessing healthcare," explained Razia. "Through the PBC, we have told the local authorities with one voice that we want to be able to educate our children and reopen the school."
"Before we had these committees we were very afraid and had no idea how we would be able to rebuild our lives. But through the IRC we learn about our rights, talk about our problems and try to solve them together."

Amongst vacuums currently being sold on Amazon the Hoover Tempo stands out as the best buy. At $79.95 it has long been considered the best vacuum under $100, and its basic tried and true design hasn't been significantly altered over the years. Consumers can be confident that the latest model will continue to meet their expectations.
The tempo comes with the basic attachments on board which include a stretch hose, two extension wands, a dusting brush, a crevice tool, and a furniture nozzle. It has a 12 amp motor, 15" cleaning path, and variable height adjustment. Hoover puts a one year warranty on the machine against manufacturing defects, so it's important to keep the receipt.
The Tempo is very similar to the more expensive Hoover Windtunnel by appearance and design, but the expensive differences of the Windtunnel are also its downfall. In the vacuum industry, simpler is definitely better. Bells and Whistles tend to be problematic. Features such as self-propel and dirt sensors are cheaply made. These devices are used as selling points more so than they are improvements to the performance of the machine, and lead to expensive repairs down the road. The absence of these extras on the Tempo actually makes it more appealing.
Maintenance on the machine is fairly easy. There is a single flat belt that needs to be changed about every six months. Belts shouldn't cost more than $5.00 for a two pack. It takes type "Y" bags, which is one of Hoover's most popular and therefore easily located products, and start around $5.00 for a 3 pack. The machine has two filters that can be cleaned or replaced. Filters can be cut from filter material, and several filters can be made from one sheet that costs around $10.00. All in all, it is a very inexpensive machine to maintain.
If the vacuum has a downfall, it is the brush roller. Like most uprights on the market today, the brush roller has metal ball bearings surrounded by plastics roller ends. During prolonged use, the bearings can heat up, melting the ends, and destroying the roller. It is best not to run the machine without break for long periods of time. In comparison to the competition though, this is a minor flaw.
Hoover Tempo can be found online at amazon.com and many other popular sites, but if customers want to save even more, hoover.com is currently offering free shipping on this model. They are also available at most independent dealers in the Indianapolis area.

Money in politics corrupts, and huge sums of money corrupt hugely. At least, that's what we've been led to believe.
Think tanks have popped up to ensure we have a democracy where "the will and concerns of the people aren't drowned out by the financial influence of the few." Newspaper editorials decry the fact that there is "one key that always fits Washington's locks: a big campaign check" and worry that "the appearance that money is being traded for access" is more than just an appearance. Bloggers with national perches pine for sensible reforms that "would clearly make for a fairer democratic process."
It's funny: These voices have all been muted in the wake of President Obama's flip flop on gay marriage.
Make no mistake. Obama's "evolution"—or, at the very least, the timing of its announcement—comes in large part because the president was having trouble raising money. This is no secret to the American people, two-thirds of whom think that Obama's step up Darwin's ladder was prompted by politics and not doing the right thing.
An analysis of the president's largest fundraisers showed that one in six is gay. The payoff for the president's leap was obvious and immediate: "I think that this statement by the president expressing his personal support for same-sex marriage is going to make my life immeasurably easier raising money from LGBT donors and progressives in general."
That was John Cooper, a bundler for Obama. He was not alone: reversing course on the issue netted the Obama campaign a near-instantaneous cash infusion of more than $1 million. Donors came crawling out of the woodwork to show their appreciation: "People I've been seeking out for campaign support for months have been calling me saying, `I'm ready to give,'" according to Obama bundler Robert Zimmerman.
For the record, I'm happy that the president has discovered the latent mutant power of flip-flopping for material gain. Bully for him; evolution often takes us down some weird paths. Just ask the X-Men.
I'm simply amused that the punditocracy has decided that big money in politics is no big deal after all. At least, when it's an issue they agree with.
Efforts to keep money out of politics are efforts to stifle debate. They are efforts to shut down those you disagree with, to drown out the voices of those who don't have access to editorial pages or news broadcasts. They take us down dark, dystopian paths where lawyers for the government—and future Supreme Court justices—argue that the government should have the right to ban political books.
But we only try to stifle the debate of those we disagree with.
This is why the left is so vociferous in their denunciations of "big business" or ALEC or the Koch Brothers, or whichever other bogeyman is trying to change things in a way that the left doesn't like. We can't let the money influence our politics, because of corruption and stuff!
When it comes to liberal priorities, however, no worries.
Consider green energy. We're often told that big coal's money is to be shunned—or shut off entirely. But no one ever thinks the same about green energy. The left rarely flips its lid when green energy companies rake in billions in government money after spending millions donating to political campaigns and lobbying for federal money.
The wealthy can't possibly be profiting off of environmentally friendly projects, so no one questionswhy huge donors to Obama who own huge chunks of green energy companies receive huge amounts of federal money to pursue their business endeavors.
No one says peep when the Democratic National Convention receives a hefty chunk of funding and a huge line of credit from a company that received almost a quarter of a billion dollars in loan guarantees from the federal government for green energy projects.
Perhaps big money in big politics isn't such a big deal after all?

Being the mother of a peanut allergic child for 11 years, I have learned many things through experience and research that have helped our family safely navigate through the food allergy minefield. A parent of a food allergic child must always be vigilant concerning food. It can be very stressful feeling that one mistake could land your child in the emergency room struggling to breathe. This is why tips from others in the food allergy community are so helpful in avoiding potential problems and helping food allergy parents feel more at ease.
That being said, here are a few tips regarding peanut allergies that we have picked up along the way.
(Tips apply for the time this article was written in 7/2013)
Tips for the egg allergic and shellfish allergic to come in upcoming articles.
Follow me on Twitter for more allergy and asthma information @GRallergies
Do you have a peanut allergy tip? Please share by commenting below.
Packaged Nuts
Most packaged nuts are made on lines with peanuts. You can not trust items made by someone that used nuts unless you are familiar with the packaging of the nut used.
Blue Diamond almonds come in a variety of flavors and are safe for the peanut allergic.
Bakeries have high risk of cross contamination
Most bakeries use nuts throughout the facility and have a high risk of cross contamination. Regardless of whether a bakery items contains peanuts, it is very risky to trust it.
Krispy Kreme donuts are made in a peanut free facility.
Contains labels can not be the ONLY check.
Always check the ingredients list not just the contains allergen label. There have been instances where peanuts or peanut oil is in the ingredients list and not the contains label.
Also note that contains labels are optional for manufacturers to display.
Peanut butter alternatives are yummy!
There are some great peanut butter alternatives. Our favorites are I.M. Healthy Soy Nut Butter with Honey, SunButter, and Biscoff Spread.
Be careful of nut butters and check the label carefully. Most almond, cashew, and other nut specific butters can contain peanut.
School cafeterias see lots of peanut butter
Many school lunch tables are wiped with the same bucket of sudsy water between lunch shifts. It is questionable whether this eliminates the peanut allergen sufficiently from the tables. Sit at the peanut free table or bring a place mat to put your lunch on.
Also note that if you decide to allow your child to sit at the general lunch tables instead of the peanut free table and this is a change from previous years at the same school, you may create confusion with school staff as to the seriousness of your child's allergy. Make sure to explain the reason for the change to staff members.
Stick to specific brands and always check for changes
Hershey's chocolate bars (regular size) and Kisses are peanut free. They also make chocolate chips for baking.
Original, hard Oreos, original Kelloggs Rice Krispie Treats, and original, hard version Chips Ahoy cookies are peanut and egg free.
Grape Nuts cereal is a great alternative to granola on yogurt.
Gluten free does not mean peanut free!
Gluten free items are not allergen free. In fact, many gluten free items contain nuts. Since gluten free stores are often promoted at food allergy events, it can become confusing for children specifically when choosing something to eat. Always check the label!

Computational Optimization of Emitter Density in a Planar Electrospray Array
Chase Coffman (SM Student), Paulo Lozano (Associate Professor)
Objective of the Research
Electrospray thrusters are of significant interest as in-space propulsion platforms for their high degree of throttlability, efficiency, and favorable thrust-to-mass ratio. One of the primary limitations in these devices is the inherently small thrust attainable from a single ion emission source, on the order of 0.1 μN - 1.0 μN, forcing designers to multiplex a large number of sources to meet small spacecraft requirements [1]. Recent research has targeted several multiplexing techniques, but these efforts have largely been proof-of-concept, with little focus in the way of design space mapping or performance optimization. The objective of the current work is to gain a more fundamental understanding of the packing limitations in the multiplexing approach, and how it applies specifically to microfabricated, porous metal electrospray emitters.
Approach / Tools
Low-order models of the perforated extractor electrode structural mechanics and fluidic transport processes are being developed and coupled with a computational, finite-element approach to the electro-quasi-statics (EQS) problem governing electrospray operation. A typical multiplexed electrospray consists of a perforated extracting electrode atop a planar array of emission sources. The difficulty in modeling such a device lies primarily in the geometric complexity of the electrical system, making the solution of Poisson's equation in the inter-electrode space rigorous. For emitter and extractor configurations of practical interest, a closed-form analytical solution does not exist. Consequently, a computational approach has been adopted whereby an FEA technique is used to compute the electric field using COMSOL Multiphysics®. To mitigate computational cost in the FEA simulations, the free charge density within the electrospray is considered negligible as a consequence of the relatively large emitter pitches and low per emitter current throughput. This assumption calls only for a solution to the homogeneous form of Poisson's equation, the Laplacian, and obviates the need for a time-consuming iterative computation of space charge.
The extracting electrode is characterized by a large number of perforations, each corresponding to a particular emitter, making it likewise expensive to model in a computational sense. Rather than do so, it has been described as a thin flat plate of an effective elastic constant. This description facilitates a wholly analytical approach to the bending solution for the plate and reduces overall computation time by a significant factor. Approximations for the bending of plates of various edge constraints are readily available in the literature, as are effective elastic constants [2, 3].
Results from the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations are actively coupled with the structural model to determine deformation characteristics of the extracting electrode and how they impact the underlying electric field. A gradient-based optimization routine has been developed to determine the maximum supportable emitter density for a given array configuration, subject to a user-defined deformation threshold imposed on the extractor. Models being developed for the fluidic transport processes will be coupled to these results in the future to assess whether or not high-degrees of emitter multiplexing have an adverse impact on propellant delivery to individual emission sources.
The optimization yields information regarding emitter density, extracting potential, and per emitter current throughput. These parameters can be used to compute relevant thruster metrics such as the specific impulse, thrust-to-power ratio, and thrust density. Preliminary results indicate that the maximum structurally supportable emitter density is a strong function of both the emitter geometry itself and the inter-electrode spacing in the device, or the distance between the emitter tips and extracting electrode. Furthermore, these results have shown that sharper emission sources significantly reduce the required extracting potential for emission onset and the electric pressure loading on the extracting electrode, resulting in appreciably higher degrees of allowable multiplexing. Minimizing the inter-electrode distance produces similar results in the same fashion. In the most desirable cases, these results suggest that highly multiplexed electrosprays are capable of reaching and exceeding the thrust densities of modern, high-power Hall thrusters while conserving their mass and volume advantages. Figure 1, below, delineates a family of representative emitter density curves as functions of the electrospray geometric parameters.

For many, Atlanta is a connection point on a flight, rather than a destination, but the capital of Georgia — and the southeast, for that matter — is so much more.
While a large and sprawling city, it is possible to take in the must-see attractions in a few days. For starters, consider:
World of Coca-Cola: Pharmacist John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886. The original World of Coca-Cola opened in Atlanta in 1991, but was upgraded in its current location near Centennial Olympic Park in May 2007. The 35,000-square-foot exhibition features the largest collection of Coke memorabilia, a 4-D theater and a bottling operation that produces eight ounce commemorative bottles for guests.
The Georgia Aquarium: The world's largest aquarium is home to tens of thousands of marine animals. More than 10 million visitors have passed through the aquarium since it opened in November 2005. Highlights include great hammerhead sharks, four beluga whales and four whale sharks, which call a 6.3 million gallon tank home.
Inside CNN Atlanta Studio Tour: Ted Turner co-founded CNN in 1980 and helped transform the way people consume news. The outspoken Turner, who at one time owned the Atlanta Braves, still finds ways to make headlines even though he's been out of the news business for years. For those interested in how modern newsrooms operate, the 55-minute Inside CNN Atlanta Studio Tour gives a behind the scenes look at what goes in to the making of a newscast watched by 2 billion people globally.
Sweet Auburn Historic District/Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site: In the 1950s and 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. changed the world. Perhaps best remembered for his 1963 "I Have a Dream Speech," King was born in Atlanta in 1929 and served as co-pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church from 1960 until he was assassinated in 1968. Today, as part of the 35-acre Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, visitors can see King's boyhood home, Ebenezer Baptist Church and the gravesites of King and his wife, Coretta Scott King.
Atlanta Botanical Garden: The 30-acre garden is home to a number of exhibits, including an edible garden, a rose garden and rare orchid display. In 2010, the Atlanta Botanical Garden opened the Canopy Walk, a 600-foot-long walkway that towers 40 feet above the ground and gives visitors a chance to view a woodland garden from above.

Wyoming Cowboy Defense Wins First Fall Scrimmage on Saturday
Sophomore Quarterback Brett Smith Returns to Action After Missing All Spring Scrimmages
UW This Season: Fort finished a successful spring campaign as the No. 2 free safety on the depth chart and hopes to carry that momentum into fall camp.
2013: Fort was a bright spot in the secondary for the UW defense in 2013. In 11 games he had eight tackles and pass breakup. His best game came against Northern Colorado, when he had four stops, a PBU and returned an interception 50 yards for a score. He was one of seven Cowboys to nab an interception in 2013.
2012: Redshirted.
High School: Fort came to Wyoming from the United States Military Academy Prepatory School, which he attended for the 2011-12 academic year anticipating attending the United States Military Academy at West Point. Fort instead decided to accept a football scholarship offer from Wyoming. Fort played his high school football at Etiwanda High School in Etiwanda, Calif. He earned First Team All-Inland Valley honors and First Team Baseline League honors his senior season, and was voted a team captain as a senior. Fort played in the San Bernardino County versus Riverside County All-Star game at the end of his senior season of 2010. As a senior, Fort was credited with 60 tackles, intercepted two passes and returned them for 50 yards, recovered two fumbles and broke up 10 passes. He returned one fumble for a 97-yard touchdown. His junior season, he was selected Second Team All-Conference while making 40 tackles, intercepting four passes, recovering one fumble and breaking up 12 passes. He scored one TD his junior season from his defensive back position. Fort also returned punts in high school. He played for head coach Stephen Bryce. Fort participated in the Nike Sparq Combine following his senior season of high school. He was ranked as the second-best cornerback and the seventh-best prospect at the combine -- out of nearly 1,300 participants. An outstanding student, he twice earned Scholar-Athlete honors during his high school career and was on the Honor Roll three years of high school. Fort served as a Student Council representative as a freshman and senior.
Personal: Born Jan. 3, 1994, he is the son of Cathy and Willie Fort. He has one younger sister, Mckynzie, and one younger brother, Dylan. He was also recruited by Air Force, Arizona, Army, Colorado State, Oregon State, San Jose State and UNLV. He is pursuing a degree in the college of business at UW.

Arriba Trail
Difficulty: very challengingDescription: Imagine a ridgeline hike that leaves you breathless - literally. The Arriba trail is an uphill haul that leads to a breathtaking view of Mt. Cotacachi above and an emerald green valley below. Your hike begins from the research center at approximately 8,500 feet and ascends to 10,900 feet at the summit. You'll pass through three different ecological zones and spy a distant fourth as your mind attempts to grasp a dizzying array of plant life. If you have ever imagined that a character from a fairytale might step from the pages of a childhood story, you will believe it possible as you pass through the elfin forest near the summit. The trees here grow only slightly taller than your head but they are adorned with robes of moss, and about their feet and crowns clouds of mist pass through in airy transformation. For those less inclined to take on the most difficult hike, they can pull up a log at the first plateau to enjoy the flashes of hummingbirds, listen to water pouring through the valley below, and soak up the scents of clean air and vegetation tat surrounds them.
River Trail
Difficulty: moderate/difficultDescription: The headwaters of the River Trail leave the snowfields of Mt. Cotacachi high above the verdant hillsides of Siempre Verde. These are the cool clear waters of Rio Taobunche. During heavy winter rains and particularly El Nino years, these same relatively calm waters roll boulders the size of automobiles down their winding pathway. In drier years, the surrounding forests reclaim land that the river scours clean. This natural cycle of give and take assures us of a trail that is never the same, for our trail is the river itself. The first touches of the river are startling and few believe a swim very plausible. However, after a few bends of rock hopping, assisted crossings, and a little time under a warm equatorial sun, a natural rock slide over a deep swirling pool is difficult to pass up.
Waterfall Trail
Difficulty: moderateDescription: This hike takes about one hour from the crossroads of the three trails (Arriba, Waterfall, River). It is a relatively flat trail with only a few elevation changes. Along the way are breathtaking views of the river below and the high ridges of the Arriba trail above. A short distance from the crossroads is a clearing where bamboo has taken a strong hold of this area. This trail is conducive to birding as many of the ground dwelling birds work their way up from the river and flowers along the trail that attract many different species of hummingbirds. The trail culminates with a spectacular waterfall that drops about 10 meters. The forest is very thick at this point and is a favorite site of many visitors.
Latrine Trail
Difficulty: moderateDescription: This trail is past the two latrines behind the research station, which is also an excellent birding site. You can either sit in one of the spacious latrines and listen to the sounds of the river and birds up above, or take a hike up to the Arriba Trail. Along the way are spectacular views of the river below and the adjacent property on the other side of the river. There are many places to stop and watch for birds and orchids hanging off the high walls across the river, as well as a tree midway up the trail which has a small hole where a mated pair of trogans can sometimes be seen and heard. A good pair of binoculars is a must.
The Tropical Andes region is one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on Earth, and also among the most endangered. Within this vanishing region lies Siempre Verde, an 825-acre protected preserve and research center created by The Lovett School.

Live Scoring
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- No. 8 Washington dropped to fifth place at the Pac-12 Championships with six teams still very much in the mix. The Dawgs finished the second round with a score of 5-over 293 and are now 7-over for the tournament and 10 shots off the lead.
"We started out really well, but just as quick as we started it went the other way that fast," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "I thought the effort was there. We knew if we put up a number, we'd be right in the thick of it, so that part is frustrating."
No. 2 UCLA continues to lead by a narrow margin. The Bruins are at 3-under, just one stroke better than second-place No. 11 Arizona. No. 9 Stanford is third at 1-over, while No. 1 USC climbed to fourth place at 2-over after the best round of the day.
The Dawgs are fifth at 7-over, while No. 6 Arizona State completes the elite top half of the conference in sixth place at 11-over.
"There is really no margin for error in this conference," said Mulflur. "It's just such a competitive conference, you have to be on your game."
The Dawgs were led by SooBin Kim on Saturday as she fired a round of even-par 72. The Husky junior remained in contention for the individual title and is now just four strokes back of Lindsey Weaver of Arizona and Erynne Lee of UCLA who share the lead at 4-under. Kim got off to a hot start, birdying three of the first five holes to be near the lead, but gave a few back and is now tied for seventh.
Also in that tie for seventh is Charlotte Thomas who finished the second round at 1-over 73. Thomas is also at even par for the tournament, joining Kim four strokes back. She made three birdies, two bogey and a double on Saturday.
Continuing some strong play is senior Kelli Bowers who had a second-straight day of 1-over 73. Bowers is now 2-over for the tournament and tied for 12th.
The final score for the Dawgs came from Ying Luo who overcame a rough start to shoot a round of 3-over 75. It was a tale of two nines for Luo who double-bogeyed the first hole on the way to a 5-over 41 on the front, but responded by playing the back at 2-under 34, including a birdie on 18 to get in a tie for 28th.
Jennifer Yang rounded out the Husky squad with a round of 5-over 77. Yang is now 8-over for the tournament in a tie for 42nd.
The Dawgs will return to the Trysting Tree Golf Club on Sunday for the final round. Washington will play with Arizona State teeing off No. 1 beginning at 8:30 a.m.
"It's not impossible," said Mulflur. "We'll go out there and see what happens."

Discoveries of Ozzy Osbourne's complete DNA have found a sequence of mumbly codes that are almost completely congested and unreadable, Viscera has learnt.
Recent studies detected that the former heavy metal singer had subliminal genes that must be unraveled backwards.
An American company uniquely distinguished a gene responsible for making Jack Daniel's unattractive and unpleasing in any amount less than a fifth.
The former reality star was found to have an uncommon brain that possessed not just opiate receptors but also powerful transmitters too.
His DNA sequence shares a close genetic link with no other living creature and possess enough musical ability to get very lucky.
The Osbourne genetic make-up devises an increased probability of creating, developing, and headlining Ozzfest.
Ozzy's DNA contained a 'Sharon Marker' making the rock singer predisposed to shuffle about shouting 'Sharon!'
Considering the subject is married to a person of this name is a statistically improbable coincidence, according to The Onion, a satirical American news organisation.
