Louis a great teacher - Campbell
by Stuart Vose
Striker recounts United experience.
Fraizer Campbell knows from first-hand experience just how much of an impact new signing Louis Saha can have on young strikers.
Campbell was a budding star at Manchester United when Saha was leading the line at Old Trafford following a £13m move from Fulham.
The Frenchman won two Premier League crowns and a Champions League title while in the north west and passed on a wealth of experience to the club's younger forwards, including Campbell.
Now the pair have been reunited on Wearside as Saha looks to pass on his tips and tricks to a new generation of players such as the likes of Connor Wickham and Ji Dong-won.
"When you see a big name like Louis coming in to the club it raises everyone's confidence," Campbell said.
"He's an experienced player; he can pass on his experience to some of the younger strikers and younger players in the squad.
"At Manchester United when we used to train together he used to tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing and he's been doing the same here.
"It's what I prefer, having someone like that to learn from and I'm sure Connor and Ji will do too."
Saha is closing in on almost 500 career appearances since starting out across the English Channel with FC Metz.
He has netted 159 goals in total and made his Sunderland debut as a second-half substitute during last weekend's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
"Sometimes in training you'll do something well, which maybe a defender might not see that you've done, but a fellow striker will appreciate and tell you well done," Campbell explained.
"He just tells you little things just to keep your brain ticking and to keep you fresh.
"He doesn't pull you to one side, he'll just tell you on the training field. But that's just part of who he is. He's a great professional and a great player as well.
"When I was at United all the experienced players were great, but he was one of the ones who took a lot of time out to help some of the youngsters."

Flash Review 3, 12-21: Seriously
Damaged Goods
Meg Stuart's "Alibi" for Trauma Drama
By Rosa Mei
Copyright 2001 Rosa Mei
BRUSSELS -- Thought disorder, hallucination,
disconnected and non-sensical language.... The "positive symptoms" of schizophrenia.
The "negative symptoms"? Flat or blunted effect, lack of emotional tone, apathy
and social withdrawal. The characters in Meg Stuart's "Alibi," seen Tuesday at
Kaaitheater, are definitely disturbed. We see real life shock treatment, twelve
monkeys on acid (only seven dancers though), sniper fire, and echoes of Ken Kesey's
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with the performers alternating between the
roles of patients and Nurse Rached. The mix is five parts storm, 1 part calm,
just enough time to smoke a cigarette or huddle in the corner if you please. The
goods that Stuart and her company, aptly named Damaged Goods, deliver are seriously
Created during the company's recent
residency at Schauspielhaus Zurich, "Alibi" plays in large, and mostly loud, random
snippets. Life in the streets, crowds, terror and personal anxiety are all tossed
together in a pressure cooker set to high. The setting: a decrepit mental ward
complete with a glass enclosed nurse's station/broadcast booth on the side. The
decor: two desks, a mattress, a couch, two TVs, loudspeakers and a pay phone on
the wall. From the onset, we see tangled, disfigured and maimed bodies bolting
about the stage. Situation code red with no sweet hereafter. We hear gunshots
and sniper fire, witness random acts of violence. Then one woman seeking solace
scales the side wall, squashes her body into an old basketball hoop and just dangles
unnoticed. Creature comfort in a harsh, fluorescent world.
The video clips, designed by Chris
Kondek, a long-time collaborator with The Wooster Group, echo the malaise of the
performers. Projected onto the back wall or playing on two small TV monitors,
the twitchy hand-held footage shows grainy, saturated room interiors, narrow corridors
and empty highways. News broadcasts and clips of figure skaters flick on and off
the tube. At certain points, the barrage of images builds to sensory overload
and creates the effect of static or white noise on stage. More fragments, more
unfinished stories.
The performers -- some actors, some
dancers -- tell their stories through jagged steps, sighs and primarily pedestrian
movement. When they're not thrashing around in a panic attack, hitting themselves
or chomping on an imaginary bit, they do time. One man rolls a mattress while
another stares at a TV, one woman slouches on a couch staring blankly into space
while another listens for voices in the wall. When they sit in the nurse's station/broadcast
booth, they chastise the patients in the ward. "Thank you. We've seen enough and
if we need you we will call you. Thank you. That's lovely." Meanwhile, woman #3
is singing Karen Carpenter songs to herself. Between the sniper attacks and conniption
fits, each member of this deranged community offers up a lengthy confession ("I'm
guilty of causing four abortions.") or pleads for love and acceptance ("I can
be bulimic if you like.")
Truth be said, "Alibi" is not an
easy piece to watch. At times, the violence and haranguing feels gratuitous. The
piece has so many dramatic arcs, by the fourteenth one you really do start praying
for the plague to end. The character studies ring true (one man reminded me of
a homeless guy I saw defecating on the sidewalk behind Madison Square Garden)
but sometimes degenerate into didactic diatribes and metaphysical guilt trips,
the overall effect being that of pulling a horse to water rather than goading
it with thirst.
What Meg Stuart excels at is creating
raw, subterranean energy, asking hard, complex questions, and then letting the
pages and photos fall where they may. She often walks a fine line between drama
and melodrama, but no one can mistake the intensity of her intent.

A Mississippi man fleeing a traffic stop unknowingly ran into a law enforcement academy, sealing his own fate.
Roger Beasley, Jr., 30, was stopped by officers on U.S. 90 in Biloxi last Wednesday, The Sun-Herald newspaper reported.
He jumped from his vehicle and ran, apparently not noticing the marked squad cars outside the Harrison County Law Enforcement Training Academy.
The academy was in session when Beasley ran in, and he was promptly arrested.
Beasley was booked on charges including possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, resisting arrest and careless driving.

Seagull Maritime
Seagull Artist
Views: 1676
Well, not sure what to say except they certainly sound similar, and what difference there is could be attributable to the difference between mahogany and rosewood back and sides.
Maybe it's just that I know one is the artist, but to me the artist does seem to sound richer, maybe with a bit more warmth, IMHO.
Agree ... very similar sound in the hands of a really good guitarist. I have always had trouble discerning subtle distinctions between real good guitars that others claim to hear clearly. To me they both sound pretty much exactly alike --- they both sound GREAT!
Well that was interesting. I A/B'd each piece, eyes closed and there is a subtle difference. I hear the Artist as slightly fuller and warmer. The Maritime is brighter, a bit sharper attack. Both sound very good and I'd be hard pressed to choose one just on sound (though in this comparison, I'd lean to the Artist). The rest would balance on how each felt in my hands, and how each looks. Cost, of course would be in the mix as well.
One issue is they aren't specific about models. These appear not to be the current lineup. Are they both spruce top? All the Maritimes are now spruce, but the Mosaics are cedar, I believe. It would be useful to know. This could account for the sound difference, and one would think they'd try to compare apples to apples.
Good questionhs. Not sure how long these videos have been on the web. Several years for sure. They do this very same test for dozens of makes and models. Just google "how does it sound" and the guitar you want.
I don't think the purpose of the tests was necessarily to A/B the two Seagulls ... I just linked th two videos together for our purposes. They have dozens of these tests on all sorts of makes and models, all doing exactly the same test under the exact same conditions.
I was assuming it was the Guitar Center exclusive, but hadn't even thought of the SWS label on the headstock.
Good, Eye FlroidaGull
Maybe this clears it up. this is from the YouTube page:
To respond to a few who seem confused, as I was, this IS a Seagull Maritime in a Cutaway, but it is ONLY available in the USA through Guitar Center (in-store--they don't even list them on their website). However, I emailed Seagull for the specs, and even though it is a part of the Maritime line, it is NOT a part of the SWS (Solid Wood Seris) which means the top is solid spruce, but the back and sides are LAMINATED mahogany. The one poster said he had one that was SWS, but the one I found wasn't!
Wow! Now that's sort of a shocker since I've played several of the cutaway Maritimes at GC and just assumed since they were new guitars, that they were solid wood back and sides. Man, you gotta be careful buying acoustic guitars if you're concerned about specs and marterials used. Caveat Emptor!
Very interesting!
It's got me searching for a similar video of a SWS maritime, to see how it sounds compared to the two in the videos :)
So far no luck, every hit is taking me back to the same video posted here.

Road Maintenance Funding History
In the mid-1980's, the City ceased General Fund support for road programs in response to budget problems, relying primarily upon available State gas tax and TDA funds. As a result, the road maintenance backlog grew to $2 million by 1993.
In 1994, Council considered Road Maintenance Assessments to raise funds but that effort failed. Council then commissioned a Citizen's Blue Ribbon Committee on Road Maintenance to reassess needs. The Committee validated a $5 million backlog and recommended phased correction with funding provided by property assessments.
In 1996, Council again initiated proceedings for Road Maintenance Assessments but ultimately rejected enactment of the assessments to allow a vote on a Citywide sales tax as an alternative fund source. A sales tax measure was placed on the June 1998 ballot but failed. The City Council again placed a sales tax initiative on the March 2000 ballot to address a backlog that had grown to $9.9 million. In March 2000, Woodland voters overwhelmingly approved a local, six year, 1/2 cent sales tax measure (MeasureH) and several advisory measures on how the money was spent. The top vote getter (80%) was Advisory Measure E which said that $10 million in additional revenues should go towards the road maintenance backlog.
What is the Current Road Maintenance Program?
2014 Council Presentation
The tracking and evaluation of the condition of our road system is accomplished through a computerized pavement management system (PMS) which is determined by a pavement rating performed by visual inspection. The PMS provides a systematic approach to managing pavements in the most cost-effective manner. The PMS program provides an inventory of roads, pavement condition data, pavement performance history, conceptual designs with life cycle cost evaluation, and prioritization and optimization methodologies.
Coupled with sound engineering judgment and management practices, the PMS will identify what work needs to be done to provide the most cost-effective management of the road system pavements.
The City of Woodland's road maintenance program includes both an in-house function and contract component. Our in-house street maintenance program includes base failure repair, crack sealing, patch paving, and seal coats. Road overlays and reconstruction projects are contracted out through a competitive bidding process.
Preventive maintenance and overlays provide the maximum benefit and therfore will generally have first priority for use of available funds. This type of work will prevent or defer the more extensive and expensive reconstrction, which is neccessary when the pavement and base material have failed due to lack of maintenance.
Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Requirements
The annual Pavement Maintenance Program is designed to maximize the useful life of our roadway system pavements at minimum life-cycle costs.
Historically, there has been State and Federal sources that are used for funding of the pavement management program.
The projected total funding available from these sources between 2014-2020 is $18 million. A significant portion of this funding is specific to the Kentucky Avenue Widening and Complete Streets Project. Additional funding is received as gas tax revenue, however, it is used for street lights, traffic signals, and signs and markings. This revenue is insufficient to cover the annual cost of ownership. Additionally, there are certain requirements placed on the use of state and federal funding programs that restrict its use to overlay and reconstruction projects. In order to protect its investment in the road system, the City must repair the backlog of overlay and reconstruction work that was built up during the 1990's and properly fund the annual "cost of ownership" so that another backlog doesn't develop.
If you have questions or comments, please email the City of Woodland Community Development Engineering Division at firstname.lastname@example.com

Men of Style
Brian Dukerschein, Matt Lee and David Zivan | Photo: Jeremy Bustos of StudioThisIs | March 28, 2014
Chicago may be the Second City, but when it comes to style, the nine men on these pages are second to none. From a dapper duo making waves in the local restaurant scene to a private wealth manager with a penchant for Prada, we asked them all to come to Primitive, a West Loop showroom with a jaw-dropping assortment of exquisite antiques from around the globe, so we could capture their singular style in an equally incomparable setting.
The Creative
"Anyone can look good in a suit, so maybe that's not the best way to showcase style," muses local photographer Alex Maier. "When I see a guy in the perfect jeans and T-shirt, I think that's much more interesting because there are fewer rules." Bold words, but they come with experience. As the former creative director of Haberdash, Maier handled the imagery and digital branding of one of Chicago's most influential men's stores. And as a sought-after shooter, he's covered New York Fashion Week for Tumblr, shot the look book for Burkman Bros.' collection for Barneys New York, and gave GQ readers an inside look at Capsule, an annual showcase of cutting-edge fashion brands. If there's one lesson he's learned along the way, it's to avoid letting the clothes wear the man. "The ideal wardrobe I'm trying to build is five perfect white shirts, the perfect wool pants, the perfect pair of denim and the perfect blue sport coat," he says. "To me, style is not offending the people around you." Aiding in his quest for the perfectly understated closet are excursions to Gant Rugger in Bucktown ("I absolutely love their aesthetic. Christopher Bastin, their creative director, has a great eye.") and Carson Street Clothiers in New York. As for his wish list, Maier wouldn't mind owning a 1967 Omega Speedmaster. "Shoes, a jacket and your watch—those are what you want to spend your money on."
GO-TO GARMENT: A pair of black selvage jeans from 3Sixteen
STYLE ICON: Daniel Craig as James Bond ("He had the coolest casual wardrobe in Skyfall.")
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "The most important thing about style is not having your clothes get in the way of your personality. It should be a pedestal upon which your voice is heard."
The Visionary
"To be honest, I really don't follow designers," says Aaron Comes. One wouldn't expect that quote to come from a Man of Style, and certainly not one who runs his own custom clothing business. But Comes, owner of Frederick Lynn Haberdasshere and maker of some of the finest tailored clothing in Chicago, is most definitely his own man. From modest beginnings in Sioux Falls, S.D., to his current perch atop the city's sartorial tree, both Comes' career path and personal style embody a pursuit of excellence. "I am a product of seeing my parents' work ethic, and my dad, he always wore a suit and tie to work every day," says Comes. "I remember, even when I was little, shopping with my dad and trying on sport coats." Comes still favors a buttoned-up look (fortunately for him, all samples in Frederick Lynn's River North showroom are his size), but this father of three is partial to dressing down on the weekends, usually in AG or Diesel jeans and a pair of Ferragamo high-tops. So if he isn't looking to the runways of Milan and London, what does spark Comes' creativity? "There's so much smoke and mirrors in fashion," he says. "Ultimately, my inspiration comes from my clients."
GO-TO GARMENT: "My wife got me a pair of custom cuff links with my twin daughters' names on them."
STYLE ICON: "George Clooney. I think everyone wants to be him."
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "What's most important to me is fit, fabric and quality."
The Entrepreneur
As CEO of Sugar Hills Bakery, the rapidly expanding purveyor of some of the city's most elegant cakes and desserts, Jacob Neminarz's days are anything but routine. But one constant remains: Whether it's meeting with clients or attending a charity gala, Neminarz will be the picture of a modern gentleman, thanks to a wardrobe stocked with labels that run the gamut from Tom Ford to Topman. "I like mixing high and low," he says of his everyday style. "It's a combination of a variety of influences, from refined and polished to rugged and edgy." Bloomingdale's is his local go-to, but London is his ultimate shopping destination, especially for Burberry. His devotion to the British fashion house runs deep, and he snagged a number of Prorsum's highly coveted heart print shirts. On top of his growing business (Sugar Hills recently opened a third location, with two more in the works), Neminarz donates his time and talents to a number of causes, including Bear Necessities and the Chicago Children's Choir. "I grew up in Poland and was a choir boy for eight years, so choir music is very close to my heart. Anything to make children's lives more beautiful."
GO-TO GARMENT: "Bow ties. I own maybe 150."
STYLE ICON: "I love David Beckham's style because it's really classic, and he always just brings it."
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "Go out every day like you care, like you have respect for other people."
The Party Pro
Attend some of Chicago's most exclusive bashes or jaw-dropping weddings, and you'll find that one name comes up again and again: Pure Kitchen Catering. And the man behind the culinary magic is managing member Joshua Yates, a true force to be reckoned with on the local event scene who is as affable as he is dapper. Having to transition from days in a professional kitchen to evenings at five-star venues calls for a daily wardrobe that is both versatile and professional. "I'm traveling all over town constantly for meetings and photo shoots, so during the day I try to keep things from getting too complicated. Jeans, a dress shirt and a blazer is the easiest way to go," he says. "I recently discovered I'm a Prada guy when it comes to shirts. I'm kind of lanky, so it's great to find a brand that I don't have to alter at all." Evenings call for either an outfit that complements the event he's hosting or bold statement pieces that set him apart. Although a frequenter of Barneys, Suitsupply and Dovetail in West Town, Yates admits his true love is Paris. "I love shopping in Paris because they approach you
in a different way. It doesn't even feel like shopping; it feels like an experience."
GO-TO GARMENT: Berluti shoes ("I really admire the craftsmanship.")
STYLE ICON: "Any of the actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, especially Cary Grant"
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "It's all about comfort."
The Advisor
It comes as something of a surprise to learn that the impeccable Marcus Boggs does not like to shop. "I absolutely hate the process," the wealth manager says. "I completely hate going into the store and picking out stuff." That's part of the reason he has numerous custom garments that, in turn, help him stand out in the crowd at his major financial firm. And he's proud that his elevated game—suits set off by a bold tie or playful cuff links, in what he calls "mini-revolutions"—has inspired some of his colleagues to step things up a bit as well. As a board member for Lambda Legal (National), Metropolitan Family Services, River North Dance Company of Chicago and the Ryan Opera Center at the Lyric, Boggs has plenty of use for his five tuxedos—and even there, his style shows. Especially successful this past year was a blue number he purchased from Suitsupply on Oak Street for Lyric's Opening Night Opera Ball. "I knew everyone was going to wear black, and I wanted to be appropriate, yet different," he says. "I felt like it was a little risky, but I said, well, who cares?"
GO-TO GARMENT: Prada—but only for shoes
STYLE ICON: "I love Tom Ford's brand. It requires a man to be confident, and yet it can make a man feel confident because he'll look great in the clothes."
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "Respect the climate, but establish your own personality."
The Dynamos
Even by Chicago's heightened restaurant biz standards, the founders of Dineamic Hospitality Group, Lucas Stoioff (far right) and David Rekhson, are on a roll. Launching their venture with lounge Stone Lotus in 2006, the duo has since unveiled Bull & Bear, Public House and, with Top Chef star Fabio Viviani, Siena Tavern—and have a restaurant on Randolph Street; a steakhouse, Prime & Provisions; and a Miami location of Siena Tavern in the works. The pair's shared vision, though, transcends business: "We have similar tastes," say Stoioff, describing their style. Rekhson agrees: "Whoever gets [to a store] first cleans up and gets all the good stuff." Frequent destinations include Barneys, Vince and, for custom-made suits, Nicholas Joseph. Business can also lend itself to an exciting discovery or two: On a trip to Florence with Viviani, they snatched up pairs of handmade Harris shoes, which weren't available in the United States at the time. "Fabio said, 'Today we were going to make a little mortadella and make a little shopping,'" says Stoioff. "But we made a lot of shopping,"
laughs Rekhson.
GO-TO GARMENT: "For years I had a pair of Joe's jeans I loved, but I took them to the cleaner; they got dried out and split," says Stoioff.
STYLE ICON: Rekhson: "Derek Zoolander!" Stoiff: David Beckham
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "In a word, versatility," says Stoioff.
The Host
Marc Anderson, regional director for The Peninsula hotels, credits his father for his own commitment to a crisp appearance. Anderson Senior retired after a long career as a high school baseball coach—a vocation that requires a particular kind of work uniform. Off duty, however, he was always impeccably dressed, and now Anderson is passing that tradition on to his daughters. "They get mad at me for it because when we go to church, everyone is in their jeans and flip-flops," he says. "But I still believe in going in your Sunday best." Anderson says that he has worn suits since he started his career in 1992 ("Back then," he jokes, "there was no business casual."), and among his first big purchases was a Bigsby & Kruthers number. Today, he favors Saks, Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss and Hickey Freeman. When an occasion calls for a little flair, he'll pull one of the custom suits he had made on business trips to Asia. That, he says, was "a fun experience."
GO-TO GARMENT: A gold-and-blue Charvet tie worn each time he has met a U.S. president.
STYLE ICON: "George Clooney. Gregory Peck. Robert Redford can wear a nice suit or a tuxedo, but he can also put on a pair of jeans and boots and look just as sharp."
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "Classic. Timeless. And I have said this to my kids a lot: You can tell a gentleman by his watch and his shoes."
The Tastemaker
It's fair to say that Michael Barkin is living his dream. The Buffalo Grove native has long been obsessed with menswear, first venturing into the world of sartorial experimentation in high school by "looking for the wackiest things I could find because I never wanted things I could see other people wearing." After college, he graduated to custom clothing, and after going to work for a custom clothier, "a hobby became a career." Eleven years later, Barkin is the director of sales for Chicago-based menswear retailer Trunk Club, which operates both online and by appointment at its River North headquarters. "What differentiates us is our team," he says. "A lot of sites rely on algorithms; we've got people who look you in the eye, ask questions and make recommendations." It's a winning formula, as Trunk Club recently opened brick-and-mortar locations in Dallas and Washington, D.C., and has seen its custom clothing service expand rapidly. Barkin has been on the go too. "My family just moved to the suburbs because we have an 18-month-old and another baby on the way," he says. "But most importantly, I wanted to be near golf courses. I love clothes, but I really, really love golf."
GO-TO GARMENT: "I have 300 go-to garments!"
STYLE ICON: "Ralph Lauren. He's a lifestyle curator."
SARTORIAL PHILOSOPHY: "Confidence is the most important thing you can put on every day."

Cowboys Stadium 3D scoreboard experiment a failure
That's right, the previously ballyhoo'd demo was such a dismal failure that the screen was turned off less than 7 minutes after activated.
The vaunted real-time 3D scoreboard display experiment at last night's Cowboys / Chargers game was turned off to loud cheers after just six minutes and fifty seconds of being active. The problem, as usual, was glasses: most of the 80,000 people in attendance didn't bother to put on the headgear required to see the 3D effect, and instead saw a blurry anaglyph image — which they then booed
Engadget does mention that HDlogix, the company behind the technology, does have glasses-free 3D but says it doesn't work on screens that large. Actually, the real problem is that its' highly dependant on viewing angle and doesn't work for large numbers of people (You have to be directly in front of the screen).
Still, it's an interesting statement on "What people want" when they won't even put on the glasses. One has to wonder why they thought "Look up and put on glasses to see the game in 3D" was better than "Just look down like you always do and see the game in 3D, for real".
via Cowboys Stadium 3D scoreboard experiment doesn't go so well, turned off in less than seven minutes — Engadget.

Church Atrocities

Subject: church atrocities

Hello Cliff,
I was wondering if you know of any resource that documents the atrocities that the church has committed against non believers. Kind of a "Foxes Book of Martyrs" in reverse. Hey, that's an idea. You could start a page on your web site: "Cliffs Book of Martyrs". Maybe something that expounds on the crusades, the inquisitions, on up to the present. I'm just fascinated at what horrible things people will do in the name of their religion. Thanks.

I interviewed Dr. George Kiriakopoulos, author of two books about Crete in World War II, on September 29, 2007 in New Jersey, at a small café near his home. I found him to be warm, forthcoming and with a very good sense of humor. As the reader may know, this distinguished man is the author of Ten Days to Destiny (The Battle for Crete) and The Nazi Occupation of Crete, 1941-1945. Dr. Kiriakopoulos resides with his wife of 51 years, Virginia (Ifegenia), and attends Saint John the Theologian Cathedral in Tenafly, N. J., where he has served as President of the Church Council. They have one daughter, Stephanie. Dr. Kiriakopoulos graduated from Brooklyn College and Columbia University, and worked as a dentist in New Jersey, and for 40 years was a tenured professor at Columbia.
Military Service
J.M.D.: Doctor, please tell me something about your background, early years, and military experience.
Dr. G. Kiriakopoulos: I was born in 1922 in Connecticut to Konstantinos Kiriakopoulos and the former Triantifila Yerontakis, and we later moved to Brooklyn, New York. My mother was born on Crete, and as a little girl moved to Naxos, then on to Athens. I attempted to join the military in 1943 at the age of 17, but my mother would not sign the consent form. When I presented the consent form to my father for his signature, he also would not sign it, saying: "you're going in the service, but I have to stay here and live with your mother." Nevertheless, a few months later, I was drafted into the U.S. Army and became an Army Ranger. I was in the 5th Ranger Battalion and I fought in the European Theater. I started out as a PFC, and had 6 stripes when I came home after the war, a sergeant major.
J.M.D: Were you involved in combat and did you receive any commendations?
Dr. K : I saw a lot of fighting. Some of my best friends died there, and they are the real heroes. Once, a bullet grazed my left arm and I received a purple heart for that. Later I knocked out a pill box with a grenade, and received the Silver Battle Star from General Patton. I was in D-Day on June 6th, and landed at Omaha Beach. We had to climb a high, steep cliff to get off the beach. I took my family back there for the 50th Anniversary. It was a very emotional experience for me. I had seen many of my friends die on that beach. But my wife took the edge off the moment, because when I showed her the beach and the cliff, she turned to me and said: "You climbed that cliff? I can't get you to go upstairs and get my slippers!"
J.M.D: Did you receive any other awards?
Dr. K.: Yes, the Distinguished Service Cross, 4 Bronze Battle Stars, 1 Silver Battle Star, and a Bronze Medal. One time, I was listed as missing in action for 10 days, after our 12 man Ranger patrol was ambushed and we got separated. When I found my way back to our lines, I was confronted by an officer who accused me of being a spy. [During this period, the Nazis had dropped several groups of German soldiers behind Allied lines wearing American uniforms. Dr. Kiriakopoulos also speaks English well, but with a Greek accent-JMD]. Since we were on patrol, I had no papers with me to prove who I was. While he was interrogating me, I spotted a guy named Charlie Lewnis who I went to Greek School with, who came over and vouched for me. Later, I learned that a telegram saying that I was missing in action arrived at my parents' home, and devastated my mother and father. Word got around to the Greek Church, and it turned out that my Greek school friend Lewnis, who had vouched for me to the suspicious officer, had written to his mother and told her that he had run into me. She told her daughter, who got the message to my parents that I was not MIA, but that I had safely returned.
J.M.D.: Did you have any other close calls?
Dr. K.: One. My mother had given me a Filakto before I left --a religious relic that is a tiny sliver of wood from Christ's Cross. It has been handed down through our family for many generations. It was in a hard case, and I kept it in my left breast pocket. I received a hard hit from a small piece of shrapnel, which damaged the case, but I was only scratched. It saved me from a much more serious wound, perhaps even death. When my mother later asked to see the Filakto to make sure I hadn't lost it, she saw the damage to the case, and then the scratch on my chest, and she knew what had happened.
J. M.D.: Do you still have this relic?
Dr. K: Yes. [At this point, Dr. Kiriakopoulos removed a small plastic packet from his pocket and showed it to me.]
The Path to Writing History
J.M.D.: Doctor, you mentioned that you attended Greek School. Were you raised therefore in the Greek culture?
Dr. K.: Yes. My parents spoke only Greek at home, and I was raised in the Orthodox Church. Although my mother was originally from Crete, she grew up on Naxos and in Athens, and I was not raised as a Cretan. But later, when I married my wife Virginia, I became more interested in Crete. Her mother, my mother-in-law Mary Demos, was from Crete, their last name was Varouxakis. It was because of her that I became more aware of the events of the Nazi invasion and occupation of Crete, and discovered that very little had been written about it here in America at that point. That's when I decided to write the first book, Ten Days to Destiny, and in fact, I dedicated the second book to her.
J. M. D.: How did you go about assembling the information that you needed, and conducting the research?
Dr. K.: Reading, and conducting many, many interviews.
J. M.D.: Was it necessary for you to travel to Crete for this?
Dr. K.: Yes, I spent several weeks there conducting interviews and doing research. Other interviews and research occurred in other countries, including the United States.
J. M.D.: Who are some of the more notable people that you interviewed?
Dr. K.: For one, Manolis Paterakis in Chania in 1978. Also, George Psychoundakis, Manolis Manolikakis, the brother of the hero Nicholas Manolikakis. John Alexander [Alexandrakis], Patrick Fermor, who was a guest at my home. Many, many others, Cretans, British and Germans.
J. M. D.: You have mentioned many people that I consider heroes. How do you explain the large number of heroes, and which ones stand out most in your mind?
Dr. K.: Paterakis stands out, but I met many Cretans, common people who lead simple lives. They objected to the Nazis taking away their freedom, taking away their land, and they fought. With the few exceptions who were turncoats, they were all heroes. I was with the Army Rangers, and there is something more in the Cretan fighters that I never saw in my Rangers, as brave and sacrificing as they were.
J.M.D: Do you think the British Special Operations Executive unit (SOE) could have operated effectively on Crete during the occupation without the Cretans themselves assisting and providing support?
Dr. K.: No. There is no way the British could have accomplished anything. The mountains were controlled by the Cretans.
J.M.D: During World War II as you know, thousands of Greek citizens starved to death on the Greek mainland during the Nazi occupation. In your research for your second book, did you find that the same tragedy occurred on Crete?
Dr. K.: The people of Crete suffered greatly, especially with the Nazi reprisal murders. But I don't believe that the starvation was as bad on Crete as on the mainland, I think because of the closeness of the mountains to the cities and villages and the ability of the resistance to move and transport goods.
J. M.D.: Doctor, your second book, The Occupation of Crete, 1941-1945, focuses on an American-born Cretan named John Alexander. How did you discover this great story?
Dr. K.: I was told initially about Alexander by Patrick Fermor, Psychoundakis, and Paterakis. I also interviewed Alexander himself. It was a story that needed to be told, a young man from Wheeling, West Virginia who by chance got caught up in the war and became a hero. You know, I wrote the books because the publishers and writers in America had ignored the story, the great historical events of the invasion and occupation.
J. M. D.: Doctor, do you feel people in this country today are well enough informed regarding the epic story of the invasion and occupation of Crete?
Dr. K: No. Those who have read the history know, but more need to learn. Many years ago, I toured and lectured on this subject all over America, but I'm 85 years old now and I can no longer travel and lecture. I hope that others will continue this work.
J.M.D.: Do you have any other books that you are working on?
Dr. K.: I'm working on a book that I hope to title "When Duty Whispers Low", mostly about my own experiences in World War II.
J. M.D.: Doctor Kiriakopoulos, I want to thank you for allowing me to conduct this interview. It has been an honor and a great pleasure.
Dr. K.: Thank you, it has been a pleasure for me also.
The Books of Dr. George Kiriakopoulos:
Ten Days to Destiny (The Battle for Crete), Franklin Watts Publishing, 1985, 395pp.
The Nazi Occupation of Crete, 1941-1945, Praeger Publishing, 1995, 239 pp.

Won my 3rd curling game of the season.
My Team 0 0 3 0 2 0 1 3
Opponnet 3 1 0 1 0 1 0 0
It was a rough start, I gave up 3 in the first end to my opponent after a couple failed takeouts that overcurled. Then in the 2nd end I could have scored one or two, but with a hard takout I could have scored four. ended up botched the takeout real bad and gave my opponent another point
So I was down 4 in the 3rd end. Ended up finally scoring 3, then holding my opponent to 1.
IN the 7th end I was down one, and had three in the house, after my opponents hammer shot it was less then an inch that I scored 1 ( a steal)
Finally in the last end, my vice made a takeout that practically kissed a guard on it's way in and took out my opponents shot rock. I was sitting 2, but they were only in the 8 foot circle on the outside. my opponent tried to draw and failed. So in a moment of aggressiveness I did a raise on one of my center guards right down to the pin . my opponent had no clue what I was trying to do, and couldn't get close to the house.

Those Without
Supernatural Construct
Are Also Good People

Subject: re: doing good.....

...and congratulations on an excellent web site. Surfin' the net I somehow stumbled upon your site and found it both well designed, easy to navigate and full of entertaining material. I am no stranger to atheism, having edited The Humanist magazine for a couple of years -- leading it out of the doldrums it had been mired in for some years, doubling newsstand sales in two issues, something I'm rather proud of. That happened because I took a stand and made the mag a bit edgier-- not as much as I wanted to, but as much as I thought I could get away with, since the board of directors was populated with Unitarians, one of whom liked to shout into the phone with full fury and venom that "humanism was Kindness." She was a Unitarian minister and never understood the irony of how she made her pronouncement.
Love the George Carlin section -- it is important, I think, that the public see that those of us without a supernatural construct are also good people -- something the President Select has only come to realize is good politics to say. I don't believe for a minute that he truly believes it any more than I think John Ashcroft is a fair-minded person dedicated to the principle of equal justice under the law. I think if Ashcroft had a chance we'd all be living in a world straight out of a certain Margaret Atwood novel.
Anyway, am enjoying the site and will spend more time exploring as time permits.

Final Stats
EVANSTON, Ill. - Despite an early goal from sophomore Gael Rivera, the Northern Illinois men's soccer team fell for the first time this season to Xavier, 2-1 in overtime, on Friday night at the Northwestern Lakeside Classic. Rivera scored in the third minute but the Musketeers scored early in the second half and got the game-winner from Gino DePaoli at the 95:24 mark."Xavier doesn't beat themselves," NIU head coach Eric Luzzi said. "They don't make a lot of mistakes, they don't leave themselves exposed. They have some good attacking pieces but we had our chances and just didn't finish them. We aren't undefeated anymore, they are. They are a very good team. Now we expect a response from our team on Sunday."NIU (5-1) started the game brightly as Rivera slotted home a goal in the third minute to give the Huskies an early lead. Senior Francis Otira played a long ball out of the back and Rivera got behind the Musketeer defense, coolly sliding the ball inside the right post. The goal was Rivera's second of the season Freshman Isaac Kannah nearly doubled the NIU advantage in the 11th minute. Senior Brad Horton played a ball into the box from the left side; Kannah took a pair of touches before whistling a shot just wide of the far post. The first good chance for Xavier (4-0) came in the 19th minute as Luke Spencer found a bit of space and shot high over the NIU goal. Neither team created any quality chances in the final 30 minutes of the first half. NIU held a 7-3 advantage in shots at the intermission, but just one shot from each team was on goal. Xavier tied the match less than two minutes into the second half as Andy Kaplan scored to even the match, 1-1. Kaplan found himself all alone inside the 18-yard box off a pass from the right side and wrong-footed NIU junior goalkeeper Jordan Godsey on the finish. The goal was the first allowed by the Huskies in 391 minutes, a stretch dating back to the Sept. 2 match at Oakland. The first chance for NIU to respond to the Xavier goal came in the 52nd minute as sophomore Karim Darbaki flashed a header just over the crossbar off a cross from Horton. Freshman Jayson LeSeth made a late run on the back side to get on the end of a cross with 14 minutes to play in regulation, but his low shot went wide. Five minutes later, senior Finn Jor sent a shot wide as the Huskies continued to apply pressure. Xavier was dangerous in the closing minutes of regulation. On a corner with just over three minutes remaining, Xavier looked to have broken the deadlock but the would-be goal was ruled out do to a push by the Musketeers and the game headed to overtime. LeSeth nearly ended the match four minutes into the extra session with a drive from 25 yards out that forced a save from the Xavier goalkeeper. The Huskies had another chance from the ensuing corner but the final header went wide. On Xavier's first chance of the overtime, DePaoli, trailing the play on the back post found himself alone on the end of a cross and made no mistake, firing a shot past Godsey to give Xavier the victory. The Huskies will wrap up play at the Northwestern Lakeside Classic on Sunday, Sept. 18, when they play UC Davis; game time against the Aggies is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

Mike Hargrove has brought a great amount of media attention and credibility to the National Baseball Congress. Saturday night he will be rewarded for it. The NBC will induct the second year BJ manager into their hall of fame Saturday night before the Bee Jays play the Midnight Sun Goldpanners. Hargrove played for the BJ's in 1972 and managed them to a fourth place finish at the NBC World Series last year. He joins former BJ manager Bob Cerv and former BJ pitcher Ron Guidry on the in the NBC Hall of Fame. This year's BJ's will play in the NBC World Series. The BJ's are 27-18 overall.
The BJ's were rained out at Dodge City last night but invited them to play at Liberal. Dodge City didn't make the trip and Jayhawk League Commisioner Bob Considine says that makes it a forfeit which would make Liberal 18-14 in the Jayhawk League.
Bee Jay General Manager Bob Carlile says the NBC told him the Bee Jays will open play in the NBC Tournament Tuesday night and would play Friday if they were able to win. Liberal's game Saturday night against the Goldpanners is part of the NBC World Series schedule, but not part of the tournament. KSCB will broadcast the game with the Dugout Show at 7:15 Saturday night on Talkradio 1270 and kscb.net.

The tetrapod limb provides several examples of heterochrony - changes in the timing of developmental events. These include species differences in the sequence of skeletal chondrogenesis, in gene transcription in the developing limbs, and in the relative time at which forelimb and hind limb buds develop. Here, we examine (i) phylogenetic trends in limb heterochrony; (ii) changes in developmental mechanisms that may lead to heterochrony; and (iii) the possible role that heterochrony plays in generating adaptive traits. We analyze the published literature and present preliminary data on turtle (Emys orbicularis) and bat (Rousettus amplexicaudatus) limb development. Teleosts, marsupials, and some urodeles show extreme timing differences between forelimb (or pectoral fin) and hind limb (or pelvic fin) development; this heterochrony may, in some cases, be adaptive. Published data on limb chondrogenesis reveal sequence elements that are strongly conserved (possibly owing to constraints); and others that vary between higher taxa (for unknown reasons). We find little evidence that chondrogenic sequences are modified by selection for limb functional traits. There are a few examples of developmental mechanisms that may be modified under heterochrony to produce adaptive changes in the limb (e.g. some cases of hyperphalangy or limb reduction). In conclusion, numerous examples of limb heterochrony have been recorded. However, few cases are obviously adaptive. Indeed, current data and methodologies make it difficult to identify the developmental changes, or selective pressures, that may underlie limb heterochrony. More integrative studies, including studies of heterochrony within populations, are needed to assess the role of timing shifts in limb evolution.

First DE in Prague...
By djberg on Dec 18, 2006
I have great news for you. Today is a rather significant day. Trung Duc Tran was promoted to a Distinguished Engineer (DE)! Why is this significant? Beyond the fact that Trung is the chief architect of NetBeans and has been driving the technical vision of that incredible product for a long time, he is also the first DE to be named in our Prague Engineering Center.
The technical leadership at Sun has been working for some time to increase the international (outside the US and for that matter California) leadership around the world. It may seem like a small victory for Trung to be named a DE but it is a great step forward in developing and recognizing our international technical leadership.
Congratulations to Trung!

Mannequins are getting a more life-like makeover. From tattoo's to back fat, shoppers will soon find mannequins that carry all of the "flaws" many women stress over.
From Miami to New York City, the mannequins will give shoppers a better idea of what the piece of clothing will look like if they wear it. Wings Beachwear in Miami will have mannequins that have tattoos.
American Apparel's downtown New York City store will have mannequins wearing lingerie with pubic hair that shows. David's Bridal will have mannequins that have thicker waists, saggier breasts and back fat so that women with those problems will have a clearer picture of how their wedding dress will look on them.
David's Bridal vice president Michele Von Plato stated, "This will give a shopper a better idea of what the dress will look like on her."
Normal mannequins are tall, skinny and faceless making it very easy for shopper to see an outfit on it and automatically discard the idea of wearing it if their body type doesn't match the mannequin.
Retailers have gotten together and come up with more life-like mannequins to advertise their clothing. In addition to adding fat and hair to the mannequins, retailers will experiment with makeup, wigs and even different poses.
Retailers have been cutting back over the last twenty years on the money they spend on their mannequins. Now, most retailers use mannequins that are white, headless and torsos with no arms and legs.
These basic mannequins only run a retailer about $300 as opposed to the $1,500 price tag on the more realistic ones. However, with more and more people starting to shop online, retailers have to find ways to get people into their stores.
A lot of those retailers believe that seeing life-like mannequins wearing the clothing will prompt window shoppers to enter the store and try on something they might not have otherwise tried.
NPD Group Inc., is a market research firm that recently polled customers on what helps them make their buying decisions. Mannequins came in at 42% second only to friends and family in influencing a buying decision.
LIM College chair of visual merchandising department Eric Feigenbaum stated that "Mannequins are the quintessential silent sales people."
The first mannequin made was one based on the stick thin model Twiggy in 1966. The next year, the mannequin maker Rootstein came out with a black mannequin based on Donvale Luna, the first black fashion model.
Ralph Pucci International is a big mannequin maker that plans on coming out with mannequins with fuller hips and wider waists next year.

College Hockey:Vermont Crushes Yale
Catamounts to Face Falcons in Regional Final
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — For an NCAA game, the teams were about as disparate as could be.
The second-seeded Yale Bulldogs took the ice riding a four-game winning streak, scoring 15 goals on the way to their first-ever ECAC Hockey Championship. Vermont, on the other hand, had dropped to a No.3 seed, in part because of a three-game losing streak in which its stalwart defense surrendered 14 goals.
Suffice to say, this first-round game defied expectations.
Vermont hounded the high-flying Ivy icers at every turn, denying the Bulldogs access to prime scoring regions and making the most of their own opportunities in an impressive 4-1 victory. Juniors Viktor Stalberg and Colin Vock scored for Vermont (21-11-5), as did seniors Wahsontiio Stacey and Corey Carlson. Freshman goaltender Rob Madore made 25 saves for UVM, and the team killed all seven Yale power plays on the night.
"Obviously a big win for our program," said triumphant coach Kevin Sneddon. "I'm very proud of our team; having not played in a couple of weeks I thought we came out and executed the game plan extremely well tonight."
Junior winger Chris Cahill scored the only goal of the game for Yale (24-8-2), which also got 22 saves out of senior goalie Alec Richards. The penalty kill was a silver lining for the Elis, killing each of five Catamount power plays.
"The game probably went exactly according to the script that they had written up; we just weren't able to get on track," said Yale coach Keith Allain.
The host Bulldogs put themselves behind the eight-ball early, taking a 60-second five-on-three penalty only two and a half minutes into the game. The Bulldogs managed to bail out their ill-mannered miscreants with a number of full-ice clears, and even drew a power play of their own four minutes into play.
Madore and the Catamounts endured some heavy pressure from the Bulldogs' starting line, which led senior winger Corey Carlson to buckle and trip rookie Brian O'Neill for the game's second five-on-three only five-and-a-half minutes in.
The Catamounts matched their foes with a short kill of their own, but took another minor in the game's 10th minute to maintain Yale's searing momentum.
With Vermont leaning hard on its heels, Yale prevented their foes from gaining the offensive zone for a nearly eight-minute stretch mid-period. Winger Broc Little poached a loose puck at the UVM blue line with 8:30 on the clock, but his breakaway bid was ultimately foiled by backchecking defenseman Patrick Cullity.
Vermont created their own big chance a minute-and-a-half later when the potent line of Stalberg, Brian Roloff and Justin Milo converged on Richards in a three-on-two. Hobey finalist Stalberg fed Roloff for the shot, but Richards punted it away.
The Cats harnessed their sudden burst of energy to score the game's first goal. Lenes swept up the left wing from high in Vermont's zone, slowed atop Yale's faceoff circle, and wristed a low riser that tickled Richards' left toe on the way to the twine.
The first period ended with the lone inkstain on the scoresheet and Vermont outshooting the white-clad Elis, 8-7.
Vermont quickly doubled its lead 1:50 into the second, as Stalberg made the most of a little luck with a nifty shot.
Bull-rushing sophomore Jimmy Martin in the Yale crease, Stalberg attempted a shot through Martin's legs, but the defenseman blocked the try with his skate. The puck rebounded right back to Stalberg's blade, and he didn't hesitate in whipping it right by both Martin and Richards on the screened shot.
Yale regained its composure as the period wore on, culminating in a power-play groaner with five minutes to go. Winger Denny Kearney strode toward the net while the Bulldogs held the zone and dished a pass down low to Little on the far side. The second-year striker zipped the puck back across Madore's net to Sean Backman, but the high-scoring sniper from Cos Cob, Conn. couldn't put enough lumber to the rubber to drive it home.
"I think the key moment in the game tonight was the five-on-three kill," Sneddon said, echoing similar comments from Allain. "The penalty kill hasn't been, statistically, a huge asset to us all year, but to kill off two five-on-threes, especially the second one, being a lengthy one, and then to come back and score a couple minutes later, I think that was kind of the turning point for our game tonight."
The Green and Gold effectively sealed the deal with 59 seconds left on the clock when an Eli turnover ended up in the back of Richards' net. Vermont defender Dan Lawson intercepted the offensive-zone floater and crossed it to Wahsontiio Stacey, who reversed it upstream to Vock. The Detroit native blasted it by the besieged backstop for the 3-0 lead.
After two periods, Vermont had outshot the favored Bulldogs by a count of 20-16 and successfully snuffed a half-dozen incurred penalties.
"I thought our penalty kill fueled our energy tonight, I really do," said Sneddon. "I think our guys saw guys blocking shots, both teams, 19 blocked shots, if the statistics are correct. That's a lot of guys sacrificing to keep their seasons alive."
Vermont held off the downtrodden 'Dogs for much of the final period, adding Carlson's seventh of the season with 3:30 to play. Cahill broke Madore's shutout bid at 18:15 of the third, giving the most devoted Blue fans one last celebration.
"I told our guys in the locker room, that was probably our best game of the year," said Sneddon. "The defensive intensity, the puck battles we won, the back pressure, I think we closed gaps on both sides of the puck tonight and that made it difficult for Yale to create offense, and that's their game. You obviously don't like giving one up with under two minutes left, but that's as complete an effort as we've had this year."
Vermont advances to a Saturday quarterfinal date with bracket-busting Air Force, which upset regional top seed Michigan 2-0 in Friday's early game. The Catamounts are seeking their second Frozen Four appearance in their first NCAA tournament since the spring of 1997, while the Elis bowed out of their third-ever tournament and their first in 11 years.

We're building web app that uses RequireJS for modular development/dependency management.
We kick things of with the following:
<script data-main="js/main" src="js/libs/require/require.js"></script>
The web app also uses a third-party applet that is required for communication with a mainframe system. The applet has a callback function that executes once the api for communicating with it has been initialized, with the api object passed in as a parameter. e.g.
* This function is invoked automatically after the Reflection session has
* completed its initialization. A reference to the JavaScript API is passed
* in as a parameter.
function jsapiInitialized( api ) {
return api;
Basically, the above needs to be a dependency for many of the modules within the app.
How can I make the above function a module dependency, so the api object is available to those modules requiring it?

Mexican Illegals Cause American Salmonella Outbreak
Mexican Illegals Cause American Salmonella Outbreak In Kansas
– Abe Goodman and Kami Yokoshima reporting
Even as you read this, thousands of Americans desperately flock their local hospitals. Countless reports details how the Mexican salmonella virus has now afflicted over 338 million people.
This new Mexican salmonella super-bacteria is twenty times more deadly than the Mexican swine flu that killed thousands last winter. It has already caused massive catostrophe in the states of California, Arizona, Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Kansas, Montana, Iowa, Texas, New York and even Florida!
It is no coincidence that all of these states also experience a 23% net increase in Mexican population. The Mexicans are germy because since they are here illegally, they can't buy things like water and soap. They live in recluse homes and work in places like lettuce yards and chicken coops, where they have direct access to the very food that feeds our nation.
Now, even our fine stores such as Albertsons, Ralph's, The Dillions, Wal-Mart and Sooper Coopers are all plagued! It is worse than licking a toilet in a seedy Tijuana stripper bar after 2 am showdown! Mexican whore disease devil of the mouth and belly! It is worse than that!
My friends, I am so scared. Eggs go into everything: mash potatoers, chickens, beans, baked beans, refried beans, soups, cereal, cakes, pies, cookies, browniers, hashers, rotuckey, am McDonalds breakfast and even some Japanese delights that Kami working here says she eats.
This is more proof why we must throw all the Mexicans out of our country. They think they can sneak in here and steal our way of life and then give us their illnesses! I am so angry right now!
As we watch this horror unfold, thousands of Americans, some as young as only 3-years-old, suffer and die just because they wanted a nice pickeled-egg-sandwich with a topping of mayo on rye bread, with perhaps a side of slaw, in their first day of school lunch. But Mexicans ruined it all and now our children are dead from Salmonella!
Salmonella is more deadly than AIDs and herpies combined! Then add Swine Flu recombinance in there and it is Mexican apocalypse!
America now falls down with a disease that not even Montezuma could call his own. I am so angered and riled. Angry! I want all Mexicans out and it is my Constitutional right to kick them all out GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY SALMONELLA MONGERS!
My fellow comrads, my good friend Abe has made a very dire and necessary point! The Mexicans must leave the great and free country of the United States! It is imperative that these filthy scoundrels be banished and forced to stay in their own lands. They are not wanted nor are they needed here. They are like vomit spreading throughout the clear streams of America. They are poisoning us with their nonsense language and filthy living habits! They are the truest and most spot-on definition of "filth" there is! They have tried to take over this country long enough and now they strike us forth with their Salmonella attack! They must be stopped!

Despite the fact that [artist id="976″]Mariah Carey[/artist], dressed in drag, sort of resembles Eminem in her new video for "Obsessed," husband [artist id="1233784″]Nick Cannon[/artist] isn't sure why people would think that Carey is dissing Eminem in the track.
"I don't know. Honestly, I don't think so," Cannon told MTV News when asked if the song is about the rapper, who seemingly took a jab at Carey in his song, "Bagpipes From Baghdad."
"I don't think that she would take her time," Cannon said. "My wife doesn't beef. She's Mariah Carey. She's not beefin', she's a vegetarian."
Cannon said that the song — which will be included on Carey's album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, due this fall — was more inspired by a certain Lindsay Lohan flick than by a need to retaliate against Em.
"People keep saying ['Obsessed'] was directed at certain people," Cannon said. "To be completely honest, she did the record 'cause she's a huge fan of this movie 'Mean Girls,' and there's a line in the movie where one of the girls is like, 'Why are you so obsessed with me?' She says that at the beginning of the song, and that's where the concept came from. But you know, art imitates life."
Cannon has his own theory about just who he'd like the song to be about, and it's not Eminem.
"I always say I thought the record was about me, 'cause I'm obsessed with my wife," he said. "But if somebody's out there and you feel like you might have been obsessed, then the record's about you."

World Champions at Their Best 2 Chess Mentor Supplementary Course
Product Code: 15-208
World Champions at their Best (2) - The Lasker Years, by IM Jeremy Silman.
Jeremy continues his historical trek, moving on to the games of the man whose reign as World Champion lasted longer than any other -- an amazing 27 years. Emanuel Lasker was a polymath, in addition to his chess, he was an accomplished mathematician and philosopher who was also a personal friend of Albert Einstein. Lasker believed that chess was a struggle, and was probably the first champion to take a psychological approach to chess. His games reflect this attitude as he was willing to take tremendous risks, and even intentionally make inferior moves, in order to create uncomfortable positions for his opponents. 50 Challenges with historical background of each player and match.
