Never miss another 'Pure Love' show
Pure Love
Comprised of Frank Carter (former Gallows frontman) and Jim Carroll (former Hope Conspiracy guitarist). Frank has learned to sing, and the band produce well-crafted songs with mature melodies and a blend of grunge and rock and roll that still manage to be raw around the edges.
Pure Love tour dates
Punk meets hard rock. Citing The Replacements, The Damned and The Misfits as big influences, Turbogeist don't consider themselves a metal band, nor do they want to be classed as heavy metal.

Improvements help, but traffic still a problem on race weekend in and around Loudon
Road closures, detours and traffic gridlock have been a part of race weekend since the first Winston Cup rolled into town in 1993. The immense popularity of the sport combines with Sunday afternoon Lakes Region traffic to grind some local highways to a halt. �That first race was just a disaster. We were out here�

Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) - Thousands of holiday travelers are finding there's an app for helping you take the stress out of holiday traveling.
Whether your traveling by train, plane, or automobile this holiday season there's an app to help you out. Arnulfo Torrez plans on doing some traveling with his family this holiday season and he will have his smart phone loaded with travel apps with him every step of the way.
"I mean we definitely use Google maps pretty much to and from and stuff like that especially when we're going to find our motel and stuff like that because we've never been there," says Arnulfo.
David Nelson is the store manager at Go Wireless here in Grand Junction. He says travel apps have become very popular. He says "the biggest deal with travel apps is just being able to book a hotel on the run. Sometimes we don't have time, we go places and we just want to have that right at our finger tips." Something Arnulfo likes to use when traveling with kids "when we're traveling as a family, you can look at the co-pilot and tell Momma to look it up real quick on the phone or the I-pad, yeah it makes it a lot easier," says Arnulfo.
There are thousands of travel apps available. Many apps are free such as Tripit, a free travel organizer. For some apps you have to pay a small price to download it. So what's the difference between the two?
"The biggest difference between them is the advertisements. What you pay for is not having advertisements on your phone," says David Nelson
Advertisements that can slow down the speed of your phone is the biggest thing to watch for. If you download an app and you start to see you phone slow down, start to give you lots of advertisements. At that point the best thing you can do is take your phone into a store where they can fix the problem.
So, is one app better then another? Experts say not really. It's personal preference. The best thing is to just download the app and play with it. Some of the apps you will like, others you won't.
Arnulfo remembers growing up," we grew up with the wrinkled old map you know what I mean, that mom would tuck everywhere in the car so , I mean it does make it easier."
And of course for those traveling with kids, like Arnulfo, there are games and books you can download to help avoid the question: "Are we there yet?"
"It keeps them occupied in the back. They can watch a movie or whatever so yeah it helps."
Keep in mind when traveling this holiday season, there really is an app for that.
Experts say the memory size of your phone determines how many apps you can download. There is no danger in downloading as many apps as you want. There are ones to help you find gas locations, check if flights at the airport are on time, or where the nearest hotel is located.

With five races remaining on the Star Mazda schedule, the 17 year-old driver from Nazareth, Pennsylvania has charged his way up to P2 in the Star Mazda standings, only 41 points behind frontrunner Jack Hawksworth. He's either won or finished on the podium in six of the last seven races. A year after being the Star Mazda Rookie of the Year, the driver of the #88 Comfort Revolution/Andretti Autosport machine has injected some life into Star Mazda's battle for the title, and the Indy Lights scholarship that accompanies it.
For Karam's part, he believes winning that championship is possible.
"I definitely believe I have a legit shot," stated Karam in a recent interview. "I need to keep doing what I do, and no more mechanical breakdowns. I don't wish poor results on my opponents because I believe in that whole Karma thing you know? But, I certainly could use some help from the rest of the Star Mazda field".
With challenges remaining at Baltimore, Mazda Raceway, and Road Atlanta, Karam believes his aggressive approach on the track will serve him well as he continues to challenge Hawksworth and the rest of the field.
"I have been driving with the 'gloves off' approach and I don't plan on changing that," Karam affirmed. "Senna said, 'when you see a gap and don't take it, you are no longer a racer'; I live by that. My team is excited about our success, the momentum and my driving style. I'd like to think that my team thrives off the excitement and effort that I bring to the track, and I feed off of their dedication, too".
There's certainly been far more to cheer than regret for the Andretti Autosport crew this year when it comes to Karam's on-track performance.
"One proud stat I have to share is that we have only been passed this year in racing one time, and that was the first race of the year at St. Pete. I got punted once at Barber, but that doesn't count as legitimate in my book," Karam laughed. "Of course, my car didn't roll off the line at Toronto, but under racing, only one pass. That's the stuff that championships are made of...at least I hope".
With five different winners and nine drivers already taking home Top 3 honors this season, Karam recognizes the brutal level of Star Mazda competition, from Jack Hawksworth on down. He deferred on stating just what made Hawksworth in particular such a strong competitor, but instead offered praise for the field as a whole.
|Karam also won at Iowa earlier this year.
Used with permission. Courtesy
After claiming his last victory (and first Star Mazda win on a road course) in the soggy environs of Trois-Rivieres, Karam admitted he wouldn't mind seeing a few more races take a wet turn.
"I think my karting background has been a major player in my car control and the comfortable feeling I have in the rain," Karam asserted. "Wet racing is something that has always suited me from karting to cars, I can't explain why. So, yeah, I wouldn't mind if it rained every race, but it makes a mess of the car".
Whether he manages to win the Star Mazda Championship or finishes elsewhere in the standings, there are some big decisions coming for precisely where Sage will spend 2013. While he's only in his second year of Star Mazda, there's certainly some pull to look towards the next step of the ladder in Firestone Indy Lights, as well.
"Winning the Mazda Road to Indy scholarship certainly makes the decision very easy," supplied Karam. "Although it's a lot of money in my humble world, getting 2nd place prize money really does nothing to assist the move up to Lights. My first priority is the current Star Mazda program. Moving up to Lights next year is where my heart is, but I don't make those decisions. If staying down in Star Mazda is the plan, then that's what it is. I'd hate to think that my dream career would be over if I don't win the title this year, but I guess anything is possible and I have been taught to never take things for granted. I am surrounded by some amazing people and I feel that the important decisions are in the correct hands that have permitted me to focus on racing".
Additionally, Karam wouldn't mind branching out in terms of his racing résumé, but so far, the opportunities haven't been there. He'd "really like to race some sports cars in ALMS or Grand Am", but feels he "just doesn't get taken seriously" because of his age.
Indeed, it's difficult at times to remember Karam is still in high school. Off the track, he still attends school, and participates in one of his other passions, wrestling.
"Wrestling and racing work nicely together for me," mentioned Karam when asked about his wrestling pursuits. "The mental toughness that wrestling brings to the racing circuit is a huge advantage. When things are going well in racing or wrestling, I don't think much about the other sport, but when times are tough and I have to deal with a setback, I often ask myself, how would I handle this in racing or wrestling? A lot of physical training for wrestling and racing is very similar, believe it or not. So, it's like a year-round deal for me, for fitness.
I am going into my junior year in high school and I'd like to medal in the state championships this year. But my ultimate high school dream is to compete in the Indy 500 my senior year! How cool would that be?"
While the Indianapolis 500 remains a couple of steps down the road, Sage Karam certainly has no end of racing excitement to keep him busy this season. Whether or not the young American talent wins the Star Mazda Championship's top honors remains to be seen, but he should do his part to make it an exciting dash to the finish.

To judge by the war zones depicted in the movies last year, production-design teams and set designers worked wonders with the color palettes of desert khaki, night-goggle green and camouflage gray. Whether they were staging battles in "Zero Dark Thirty," "Lincoln" or "The Hunger Games," the odds were definitely in their favor for medals of honor.
They also created extraordinary backdrops for the battlefields of the heart. Be it the tragic love story that played out on the big stage of "Anna Karenina" or the winsome first love that blossomed in the pup tents of "Moonrise Kingdom," design pros created worlds filled with exotic marigolds and silver linings.
Therefore, I'm delighted to present once again my annual Chaise Lounge (or Chaise Longue for you Francophiles) Awards for the best design elements in the movies of 2012:
Best Kitchen
Though Anna Kendrick's father's white-on-white kitchen was "Pitch Perfect," I really worked up an appetite for the sleek art deco dining car in "The Hunger Games," and to the latter goes the award.
Most Transformative Tableware Piece
After parole breaker Hugh Jackman steals some silver serving pieces in "Les Miserables," the noble bishop gives him two silver candlesticks on the condition he change his life for good. Mercy me!
Best Bathroom
The street-savvy caregiver landed a job with real benefits in "The Intouchables" when he was given an elegant suite, including a gorgeous bathroom with a spectacular free-standing tub, in his boss's Parisian mansion.
Best Home Office
Imperial and austere, Jude Law's neoclassical office in "Anna Karenina" took my breath away, even if it (and he) left Keira Knightley cold.
Most Romantic Wallpaper
I'd love to change my wall coverings on a whim, the way Jim Sturgiss does in his neo-Seoul apartment in "Cloud Atlas." But I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer the heavenly cloud-strewn wallpaper from "Anna Karenina" -- said to be replicated from a paper found in one of Catherine the Great's palaces, which receives this award.
Best Calm-Before-the-Storm Decor
The strings of poolside lights, along with the masses of sky lanterns, seemed especially lovely once the tsunami had taken its toll in "The Impossible."
Best Salvage Yard Finds
When you're talking about a revolution, be sure to take a cue from the rabble rousers in "Les Miserables" by building a barricade out of what would have become fine (French) antiques.
Best Budget Remodel
The cinder block, lavender-walled dance studio in "Silver Linings Playbook" showed how a construction project could help rebuild a life.
Best Bachelor Pad
Though the roommate's "Star Wars" half of the bedroom in "Pitch Perfect" was every Luke Skywalker wannabe's dream, and the retro-cool attic game room in "Moonrise Kingdom" recalled every boomer boy's childhood, it was Scoutmaster Ward's tidy tent in "Moonrise" that tied up my heart in a perfect bowline knot.
Best Villain's Lair
The one-two punch of the floating casino and glamorous getaway sailboat in "Skyfall" gave Javier Bardem plenty of bite.
Deadliest Landscape Design
The cornfield in "Looper" was scary, and the crazy cool acid pools in "Life of Pi" were deadly, but it was the killer bee-infested forests of "The Hunger Games" that most made me want to sprint indoors.
Best '70s Revival
Johnny Depp's beloved Collinwood featured haunted console televisions and oversized disco balls in "Dark Shadows," and Halle Berry's San Francisco apartment in "Cloud Atlas" had a groovy ethnic artifacts vibe. But it was Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver's home in "Silver Linings Playbook" with the C. Jeré-esque metal wall art and flocked Christmas tree that had the best mojo, not to mention those crabby snacks.
Best Plaid on Plaid
No contest: "Moonrise Kingdom." The entire production was a tartan triumph.
Best Lighting
Watching "Lincoln" try to navigate the political waters in the dark, claustrophobic daylight interior shots, I was thrilled when the spaces were emancipated by the many beautiful gas lamps during the nighttime scenes.
Best Objets d'Art
Forget flowers and candy; I want to declare my affections with the exquisite little painted building blocks that Kitty and Levin used to pledge their love in "Anna Karenina."
The Grand Chaise
(Yes, the one with the leopard-print velvet slipcover): It goes to the place I wish I called home. No, not the Scottish manor house layered with antiques, modern art, a grand piano and a gramophone in "Cloud Atlas," though it hit all the right notes. Nor the charming disarray of the doorless, badly plumbed, richly colored "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," even though it made me want to pack my bags and relocate to India immediately. No, the grand passion I felt was for the rustic yet noble snow-covered wooden structures that made up the country estate in "Anna Karenina."

Last time we checked in on the Chinese microblogosphere, it was alight with false rumors that Kim Jong-Un had been assassinated in a violent North Korean coup. Now (probably equally fake) rumors of a military-backed coup that tried to take down president Hu Jintao are blowing up on Chinese microblogs. (Above is a bogus picture of tanks in the street that's beeen passed around.)
Chinese Twitter rumors are so much more exciting than ours. [via The Atlantic Wire]

Triple Protection Sunscreen Hailed By Pros as Anti-Aging Holy Grail
New research highlights the efficacy of TBF 50 broad-spectrum sunscreen
"Continued exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the major risk factors for photo-aging and the development of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)," reports News-Medical.net. "Mainstream sunscreens cannot ensure a complete protection against all molecular lesions associated with UVR exposure, making the emergence of TPF 50 a significant advance in preventive science."
READ: 12 Anti-Aging Skin Care Ingredients You Need to Know About
This all comes as very good news to the Elizabeth Arden company which has just announced the launch of its new Elizabeth Arden RX skincare line -- a line that will be available only in dermatologists' offices.
The cosmetics giant has rejoined forces with US Comseceutechs, LLC, a skincare company that "develops and sells skin care products into the professional dermatology and spa channels," with whom they collaborated in 2005 when they launched their anti-aging juggernaut, Prevage.
Late last week, Elizabeth Arden revealed that the first product they'll release under the RX label will be, you guessed it, Triple Protection Factor Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50+. As The Wall Street Journal reports, "TPF 50, a groundbreaking new anti-aging product, was developed based on a unique combination of protective ingredients including a DNA Enzyme Complex, a highly potent protein protection Antioxidant Complex and broad spectrum SPF 50+ sun protection."

He may only have one eye but there is nothing missing in his tasty cupcakes. Taffy, licorice and frosting are just some of the ingredients in these rockin' desserts.
Watch Yo Gabba Gabba only on Nick Jr.
Before you start to decorate, make a batch of Basic Vanilla Cupcakes.
Cut each piece of red fruit taffy in half crosswise. Heat each piece in the microwave for no more than 3 seconds to soften slightly. Roll out the taffy on a clean work surface into a 1 1/2- by 2 1/2-inch rectangle. Round one short end with clean scissors to make Muno's head. Cut the black licorice into twelve 1-inch strips for the mouth.
Spoon 1/3 cup vanilla frosting into a small resealable bag. Spread the remaining frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Place the red taffy on top of the cupcakes. Add five red candies around head. Snip a small corner from the bag with the vanilla frosting and pipe a 3/4-inch circle on the top center. Add the brown candy as the pupil. Add the black licorice as the mouth and pipe a few white teeth with the frosting.

DETROIT -- Ford and General Motors reported stronger sales in China during the first half of 2014.
Ford's China sales rose 35 percent to 549,256 vehicles this year through June, as the automaker dramatically increases its presence in the world's largest auto market.
GM's China sales rose 10.5 percent, to 1.7 million vehicles, more than the 1.46 million it sold in the U.S. during the same time.
For Ford, whose sales also increased 17 percent in June, the results are an encouraging sign for a company that it is beginning to catch up with GM and Volkswagen in China.
Although increasing at a slower pace than Ford, GM's strong position in China remains one of its biggest assets. The company sold 19 percent more vehicles in China than it did in the U.S. in the first half of 2014.
Foreign auto companies are required to partner with Chinese manufacturers through joint ventures to make cars there. Although that means splitting profits 50-50, it's still a crucial market for the U.S. auto industry.
Ford's passenger car joint venture, called Changan Ford, reported a 39 percent increase in sales for the first half to 286,433 units. The unit's Ford Focus sales rose 9 percent for the half to 185,648.
The company's Jiangling Motors, a commercial vehicle unit in China, recorded a 21 percent sales increase in the first six months to 132,938 vehicles.
GM's Shanghai GM joint venture sold 819,667 vehicles in the first sixth months, up 10 percent from a year earlier, while the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture reported an 11.5 percent increase to 883,724 vehicles. GM's FAW-GM joint venture sales fell 7 percent to 27,579.
The Buick brand, the most popular American GM brand in China, reported a 12 percent increase to 460,421 units in the first six months.
GM's Chevrolet brand, which has charted an aggressive growth strategy in China, continues to trail the automaker's other brands, rising only 4 percent in the first sixth months to 335,486 units.
Sales of the Cadillac brand, which has also mapped out an ambitious growth strategy, surged 72 percent in the first half to 33,760 units

Heico buys California firm
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
The parent of Manatee County's Radiant Power is buying a California company that makes niche components for the aviation, defense and space industries, including parts for the Patriot-2 missile.
Heico Corp., based near Miami, said Monday that it has reached an agreement to acquire Reinhold Industries Inc. from affiliates of The Jordan Co., a New York-based investment firm, and some of Reinhold's management. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Heico's shares, which trade on the New York Stock Exchange, were selling for $43.95 at the close of regular trading on Monday, up 16 cents cents.
Reinhold, which employs about 200 in southern California, will become part of Heico's Flight Support Group.
Radiant -- which makes emergency power supplies, power-management systems, passenger-comfort electronics and sensors and instruments for the aerospace market -- is part of the Heico's Electronic Technologies Group. The local company is integrating another Heico-owned company that could raise its total payroll to 94 or more within two years.
With the Reinhold deal, Heico is expecting added earnings after the first year of its ownership.
The California company, based in Santa Fe Springs, gets most of its revenue from the design, manufacture and sale of commercial aircraft components, such as its composite seatbacks and related components used in a large number of airliner seats.

LqPV 35, YME 6
At least Lac qui Parle Valley didn't put up 40 points.
Aside from that, Yellow Medicine East's third straight loss came about much as the last two did. That's not to say that, for at least two quarters, there wasn't hope—but LqPV was just bigger, faster, more physical and made less mistakes than the Sting.
The hope was still there by halftime after YME scored to cut the lead to 14-6 and kept LqPV just inches away from scoring their third touchdown of half as time expired.
But football, when another team is physically more dominate, is a game of attrition. And as the third quarter came and went, with the Eagles adding another score, YME was beginning to show the effects of a weakening resistance.
The fourth quarter saw only two more scores tacked up by LqPV and YME headed for the showers. The game went by quickly. The Sting lost 35-6.
LqPV improved to 2-1 in the West Central Conference and overall. YME falls to 0-3.
Eagles quarterback Dylan Erickson threw touchdown passes to Josh Witte and Colby Siegert, and Erickson also ran for a score.
Austin Haas and Lucas Mortenson also ran in TDs for the Eagles.
Aaron Lalim scored the Stings' only touchdown on a 1 yard run.
The Eagles forced five fumbles en route to overpowering the Sting.
As a team, LqPV rushed for 235 yards on 46 carries, while the Sting tallied 86 yards on 34 carries. YME recorded 10 first-down plays compared to 15 for the Eagles.
The Sting now prepare for their homecoming game this Friday against Montevideo. Here, your favorite team has a shot. This isn't the same Montevideo team that went undefeated in the regular season a year ago. This season the Thunder Hawks are, like YME, 0-3. This season Montevideo has lost to Paynesville (42-0), Sauk Centre (39-6) and Benson (46-6).
LqPV (2-1) 7 7 7 14 — 35
LqPV: Josh Witte 16 pass from Dylan Erickson (Erickson kick)
LqPV: Colby Siegert 25 pass from Erickson (Erickson kick)
YME: Aaron Lalim 1 run (pass failed)
LqPV: Erickson 2 run (Erickson kick)

The weather change didn't stop the Oak Ridge tennis teams from continuing their hot start.
The tennis boys and girls swept the top six scoring singles matches for the second time in two meets to defeat Knoxville Central Friday.
"Good win today," coach Travis Fields said. "I liked how we came out today, especially with the conditions and took care of business. We get better each match and hopefully we can use this as positive momentum to move forward."
The boys were led again by seniors Jassi Singh, who defeated Simon Beltner, 8-0; and Mason Eshenberg, who swept Chandler England 8-0.
Trystan Bordeau (8-1), Art Nelson (8-2) and Wilson Pang (8-2) also recorded easy singles wins. Alex Sample in the No. 2 singles had a tougher match winning 9-8 (10-8) over Evan Patterson.
The boys swept the doubles matches as well.
For the girls, they continued in their winning ways winning handily over the Lady Bobcats.
Kimmie Beattie had the closest match of the meet, besting Maddi Major 8-4.
Molly Landmesser, Natalie Cross and Jenna Beckler each got 8-3 wins over their opponents while Bonnine Moon won 8-2 and Vy Quach won over Meredith Kilby 8-1.
The girls did have a harder time losing a pair of doubles matches but still winning the match 6-1 on points.
Oak Ridge tennis takes its only trip away from the ORHS tennis courts today when they face William Blount at 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.
Robert Holder can be contacted at (865) 220-5508.

ALAMEDA -- St. George Spirits is celebrating 30 years of revolutionary distilling and forging into the future with an astrophysicist at the helm of the Alameda-based operation.
OK, so owner and master distiller Lance Winters isn't technically an astrophysicist. And they can't pin down the actual "birth day" of the artisan distillery Jorg Rupf founded in 1982.
But the 46-year old Oakland resident who dreamed of intergalactic travel as a kid growing up in Fremont commands a distillery whose reputation soars on products including an Agua Libre Rum that goes down golden like California sunshine and a St. George Gin evocative of coastal forests filled with Douglas firs, sage and bay laurel.
Giving free rein to his boyhood ambitions, Winters is a scientist, exploring the physical properties, interactions and behaviors of fruits, grains, California sugar cane, absinthe and more exotic fare, like piñas, Christmas trees, popcorn and cantaloupe.
Recent finalist nominations include Wine Enthusiast's "Distiller of the Year" and Good Foods Awards' nod to the company's Aqua Perfecta Pear Eau de Vie and the Agua Libre Rum. In 2011, three St. George gins were named "best spirits of 2011" by Esquire and Chow.
Under the redwood ceiling of Hangar 21 that formerly housed the "Firebirds" attack squadron as part of Alameda Naval Air Station, the 65,000-square-foot facility now contains custom-made copper stills, barrels of spirits, an expansive tasting room and a "mad scientist" lab.
"The rules that have to be followed here are about working clean, so the results are reproduceable," Winters said. "After that, it's about breaking rules."
The small lab still, resembling a disassembled, oversized clarinet but still boasting a hefty $75,000 price tag, is where Winters experiments.
"We try anything, but we only move on with things we absolutely love," he said.
Winters said the public's palettes weren't as curious 13 years ago and introducing the unexpected required patience. People wouldn't even try his single malt whiskey at tastings, which today is a highly sought item, because it wasn't a scotch or a bourbon. A 2007 rum with truffle and black olive tones and a grassy aroma was initially "too wild" but now "attracts crowds in droves." And the sales department frowned on a Terroire Gin that bears the smell of Bay Area park lands and is his "ode" to the Oakland hills.
"It's our lead seller," he said, "which astounds them."
There have been disappointments, but even those surrender to his magic wand of determination.
"I tried making a liqueur with cantaloupe and nothing I did worked," he said, "but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop. I can do cucumbers, so I can distill the melon family."
Winters deliberately avoids outside influence from other distillers. He draws inspiration for fresh ideas from walks in the woods, eating flavorful food and smelling perfume.
"If what's in our bottle is not quantitatively different, there's no reason to buy our product," he said.
Offering a whiff of an apple brandy in production, Winters dumped buckets of Mendocino apples, pumps fermented juice into the swirling mix and narrated the particulars of processes learned during his 16 years at the distillery.
"It's biology, making sure you eliminate unwanted organisms or bacteria, controlling fermentation temperatures, keeping the PH in right range, understanding heat transfers, how water and salt impact boiling point, barrel chemistry ..." he said.
Winters patted the nearby still and concluded: "You have to know what's going on inside this metal beast, without seeing it."
The recent, phenomenal interest in artisan distilling and mixology has only surprised him in the amount of time it has taken to arrive.
"We stopped drinking bland beer or just having red wine, white wine years ago. Big industry not wanting to show how it's done is the reason it took so long," he claimed.
Additionally, a multitude of laws around tastings, distribution regulations, big tax tabs, licensing to operate a still and filing for approval of formulas and labels are formidable barriers for smaller enterprises. It took six months and 30 changes for St. George's absinthe label to win approval.
"If I was just starting out -- man, it would take a lot of work," he said.
In 2013, he's working on an all-California bourbon, with Mount Shasta rye, corn from Woodland and barley from Chico. And the former Navy man plans to "find the best quality materials and manipulate them as little as possible" as he continues the hunt for the perfect cantaloupe liqueur.

Nearly all the plate tectonic "action" on Earth takes place at the edges, where plates meet at major faults. These plate boundary faults are sites of active deformation, earthquakes, and are the source of tsunami, but we still don't understand many fundamental things about how they work.
I am interested in the internal properties of active faults at the Earth's plate boundaries - for example, subduction zones in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas fault in California. In my research, I combine direct sampling of faults deep beneath the surface of the Earth - through drilling at sea and on land - with detailed 3D seismic reflection imaging of the fault architecture and properties. Laboratory experiments on the mechanics and physics of the fault rocks completes the link among these different ways of "seeing" into active fault zones.
Some of my active research projects are:
My major effort is as co-Chief Project Scientist of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE), a multi-year project to drill into and place instruments in the subduction zone plate boundary faults off the coast of Japan. NanTroSEIZE is part of IODP, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, and is the most ambitious and complex scientific drilling program ever undertaken.
A short video introducing the NanTroSEIZE project and my research (Deep-sea drilling in the Nankai Trough):
Also, here is a link for a different video, a 5-minute segment about my research from a Discovery Channel special called "Exploring Time."
San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD)
I am also involved in the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) project, a study of the internal workings of the San Andreas through land-based drilling. My students and I are tackling laboratory experiments on friction and elastic properties of rocks from SAFOD cores to better understand the make-up of the fault zone.

SAN JOSE -- Anthony Santa Cruz wasn't the best player on the San Jose High championship football team last fall. But that didn't matter to coach Darrell Williams.
He saw a teenager who was escaping the grip of gang life and trying to build a better future -- not only for himself, but also for Santa Cruz's young son. That's why Williams choked back tears as he talked about Santa Cruz, who was stabbed to death near the high school Wednesday afternoon.
"Anthony wanted something different, and that's what makes this so tragic," Williams said, pausing to regain his composure. "He was just a nice young man whom you wanted to be around. I know that it's hard to pull yourself out of that world, but there was not a single threatening thing about his demeanor. He had a beautiful smile that drew people toward him."
Police have not released the name or age of the homicide victim, but the team and friends held a vigil for Santa Cruz at the school Wednesday night. San Jose's fifth homicide of the year occurred about 3:15 p.m. in the 300 block of North 21st Street. Police believe there might have been an altercation just off-campus before the incident, and the killing is being investigated as possibly gang-related.
But Williams said it's important to him that the teen not be defined by the way he died. The coach describes the junior, who was either 16 or 17, as a young person who had gained new focus through fatherhood.
"We had a lot of time on the sidelines together, and I was just so impressed that he wanted me to meet his son," he said. "He was so proud of him and told me that he was trying to be a real father. He said, 'Coach, there might be times when I'm late because I have to pick him up.' I made concessions because he was trying to do the right thing."
While the coach said they talked often, Santa Cruz never discussed specifics about any prior gang activity. The teen did have, he said, two distinctive scars on the back of his head and had intimated they came from knife wounds.
"He said he had been in a previous fight where he almost lost his life, and that was another reason why he wanted to change," Williams added.
A police spokesman said Wednesday that "a lot" of students had given statements. But Thursday, the police were not releasing any additional information. Paul Higgins, a San Jose Unified School District spokesman, said he could not comment because the police investigation is ongoing.
"But we have stepped up security on campus to have a greater presence and made sure the faculty is being more aware of what's occurring on and off the campus," Higgins said.
Twenty-four hours after the stabbing, police officers stood next to a cruiser parked on campus as students gathered at a makeshift memorial beneath a school sign. There, they placed candles, roses, balloons, rosary beads and personal messages addressed to "Lil Lucky."
"He always had a smile on his face," teammate Isaiah Espinoza said Thursday. "He loved being on the football field and having brothers all around him, and being away from the stuff on the streets. He said he did have a bad past but was trying to get away from that. I just can't believe this happened."
On the football team, Santa Cruz was "small, but quick and very tough," Williams said. "He didn't have any fear." He played primarily on special teams and, the coach said, was noticeable on the field because he wore green cleats, which stood out against the school's colors of cardinal, gray and white.
"When our team gathered at the school, that was one of the things his teammates talked about," Williams added. "We were always joking with him, saying, 'Man we need to get you some different cleats.'"
While being academically eligible to play football hadn't been an issue for Santa Cruz, Williams said he had been working to improve his grades. He also had intended to participate in the team's offseason workouts to prepare for his senior season.
Instead, the team will meet Friday to discuss how best to honor him next fall.
"I know people are saying it's gang-related, but whatever happened, a life was lost," Williams said. "A father, a son, a teammate is gone, and nobody deserves that. Our country loves a good story of change. Why shouldn't Anthony have been any different?"

When the 78th Heisman Memorial Trophy is handed out Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square, there's a solid chance - like the first 77 - a player from West Virginia University's name will not be on it.
Unlike a lot of years, the Mountaineers do have a few players who deserve to be in the discussion. But they also have five losses.
While the award is not necessarily designated to go to the best player on the best team, history suggests voters don't generally consider a lot of the best players from average teams. Notre Dame's Paul Hornung remains the only Heisman winner to play for a losing team.
Among the leading candidates this season are redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M and linebacker Manti Te'o of Notre Dame.
The Irish are unbeaten and are set to play in the national title game, in part because of difference-making plays by Te'o. Manziel, who would be the first freshman to win it, led his team to a 10-victory season in the rugged SEC and is generally considered the front-runner as things wind down.
While Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith gained a lot of momentum earlier this season with an historic run, including a 650-plus yard effort against Baylor, as the team fell, so did his chances.
Today, his numbers compare favorably, if not better than, similar drop-back passing Heisman winners. He has completed 327 of 466 passes for 3,579 yards, 37 touchdowns and five interceptions. He's also completed 70.2 percent of his throws, is averaging 327 yards per outing, is No. 3 in the nation in points responsible for per game (21.3), completions per game (29.7), No. 6 in passing yards per game and total offense yards per game (340.7). He's ninth nationally in passing efficiency (159.1).
''If you look at Geno's stats, they're as good as anybody in the conference,'' West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. ''Has it not been enough in specific games? Yes. But that happens to everybody across the country.''
The Mountaineers' Tavon Austin, a do-it-all type who does it all well, has played out of his mind the last two games, leaving many to wonder why he's not more involved in the discussion?
First, the credentials: West Virginia's career receptions (280) and yards (3,273 yards) is the nation's leader in catches per game (9.6) and is second to Kentucky's Antonio Andrews in all-purpose yards per outing (233.9). He's No. 8 in receiving yards per game (104.5), tied for No. 25 in punt returns (11.0), No. 25 in kickoff returns (26.4) and No. 26 in scoring (8.9).
On his resume is a 572-yard, all-purpose effort against Oklahoma that shattered a Big 12 record and is the second-best in NCAA history.
Austin moved into the backfield that night against the Sooners and rushed for a school-best 344 yards, solidifying his name as one of the top players in the FBS.
''Dynamic,'' is the word thrown around most about Austin because he can do everything - in a hurry.
''(Austin is) an unusual talent, and has unusual speed,'' Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. ''He's very, very dynamic. He is faster than most people on the field. Everyone has angles at him and he just outruns everyone. He's a pain in the butt that you always have to account for.''
But Austin's team has lost five games and had to wait until the next-to-last week of the season to become bowl eligible in an era where it's nearly impossible not be. Austin has worked his way into the conversation, mainly because of this two-game outburst - he wasn't used this way, nor did he produce this way the first nine games of the season - but it's nearly impossible to ask voters who haven't seen him regularly to select a player for college football's highest individual honor from a team that has failed wildly to live up to expectations.

Contestants in the Mississippi Distinguished Young Woman Program build friendships, serve others, and gain confidence.
"Oh it's awesome. I got to meet a lot of wonderful young ladies and love my host family. It's been really fun," are the words Ashley Luethje uses to describe the entire Distinguished Young Woman program experience that is underway with this year's contestants. Luethje is looking forward to the competition and building friendships while the hometown contestant also gets some bragging rights.
"Definitely just getting to spend more time with the girls and being on stage. I think it's going to be really fun," says Luethje.
Rachel Varela, who is from Meridian, describes her bragging. "I've been bragging a little bit. I said as we drove up, 'there's where my dad works', 'there's the Temple, it's my favorite place', and as we pass I'll be saying 'that place has good burgers' and stuff like that."
While the girls from Meridian and Lauderdale County have the hometown advantage, they actually have the same experience as everyone else. They also have a host family they stay with during the week.
Mackenzie Ross, who is from Lauderdale County tells us about her experience. "Well, ironically my host family lives right up the street from me, so it's kind of home away from home for me. But it's great because it does give me the same experience as all the other girls. You know, my host family's so sweet; they cater to my needs, and they're great. They're cooking for us, and it's a lot of fun. I feel so blessed to have such a sweet host family."
All the girls have the same experience and the same goal, to do their best.
"I guess I've heard a lot of really great stories about Distinguished Young Woman, not Junior Miss, and a lot of girls have said they come back with great friends and more confidence, but mostly I'm here because I really, really want to do my best and not mess up on all of it; but we've been training so hard, and we just want to have that moment completely perfect," says Varela.
Preliminary competitions begin Thursday with the top ten and winner announced Saturday at the Temple Theater.

Food Combining: The Natural Weight Loss Secret
Although new research suggests that fewer people are dieting in America (yay!), many of us are still puzzled when it comes to figuring out how to achieve optimal health, longevity and vitality. As a culture we've been trained to look at what we put in our mouths as the main event — the food, the calories, the protein, the fat — but we're not taught or encouraged to look at what comes out of our bodies.
We want to turn this perspective around with a bold (and obvious) statement: Everyone poops. Yep, everyone sits on the porcelain throne. You already know this, so let's get right to the reason we're bringing it up in the first place.
Waste = weight.
The number one weight loss secret that nobody really talks about is the fact that the extra poop sitting around in your colon is one of the main causes of excess weight. When you learn to rid your body of extra waste on a regular basis, weight loss and maintenance become effortless.

Wooden Blocks
Family A Kit
Maple Firsts and Seconds
American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The Family Kit is a very large kit of blocks, suitable for three or four five year olds, a small day care operation, or small kindergarten classes. It includes a full range of pieces including twelve of the 22 inch rectangles, and over one hundred and sixty of the other basic rectangle blocks of other sizes.
This kit allows a bunch of children to make a whole city, and there are enough pieces to permit cooperative play without hoarding. While bags are supplied, a system of shelves or cubbies are really required for adequate storage. These should be sufficiently robust to support 150 pounds or more, and low enough for children to ritualize taking blocks out of storage and putting them away again.
Teachers will find that these blocks work well with available lesson plans and projects as given by organizations like the Bank Street School and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). With a kit this size, the sky is the limit. Children will cantilevered structures and tall towers. Boxes on top of boxes can make a structure that reaches nearly as high as the ceiling. Construction projects may include projects with windows, doors, walkways, wheelchair ramps, etc.
Many of the smaller pieces become more fully integrated as decoration in battlements, fenestration, fancy entries, steps, and statuary. Children vary in their interest in these things, but many of them become blockaholics, and will spend hours and days completing incredibly creative and complicated projects. Additionally, this is a good set for cooperative play between four and five year old children and their younger siblings. .
Ages 3+

VCU (22-6, 10-3 Atlantic 10) forced 22 turnovers—12 of them in the second half during the big comeback. Daniels set a school record for 3-pointers in a season while leading the comeback.
Rob Brandenberg added 18 points and scored the Rams' final six, including a pair of free throws with 10.8 seconds left that clinched it.
The Musketeers (15-11, 8-5) played the final 13 minutes, 35 seconds without point guard Dee Davis, who was hit in the forehead and got a cut above his right eye.
Davis and Brad Redford finished with 15 points apiece for Xavier, which came into the game as the only team still unbeaten at home in A-10 games. VCU became only the second A-10 team to win at the Cintas Center since 2007, along with Saint Louis.
The Musketeers are 52-2 in A-10 home games since 2007.
The Rams were coming off a 76-62 loss at Saint Louis that snapped a five-game winning streak and showed the way to beat them—handle the full-court pressure. VCU leads the nation in steals and forced turnovers, leading to a lot of easy points.
Xavier handled the pressure for a half. The Musketeers shot 73.
Then, it all fell apart for Xavier.
The Rams were only 2 of 17 from behind the arc in the first half, preventing them from getting into their full-court pressure. Daniels' back-to-back 3s got them into a comfort zone and started a 10-point run. VCU went 6 of 11 behind the arc in the second half.
Davis got hit above his right eye while trying to get through a trap off an inbound pass. He left the game for treatment with 13:35 to go and Xavier ahead 48-43. Treveon Graham hit a baseline shot and a 3-pointer as VCU got its first lead, 50-48, completing a 24-5 run.
There were three ties and nine lead changes down the stretch. Brandenberg hit a floater in the lane and a pair of free throws that put VCU up 73-68 with 26 seconds left, the Rams' biggest lead.
Xavier's Justin Martin hit a 3-pointer with 19 seconds left, but Brandenberg made two more free throws to finish it off.

Ovarian cancer is cancer that begins in your ovaries. Only women have ovaries, so only women get this kind of cancer.
Many types of tumors can start growing in the ovaries. Some are benign, meaning they are noncancerous. Benign tumors do not spread and can usually be treated by removing one ovary, or part of the ovary. Ovarian cancer, however, is a malignant (cancerous) tumor. If a cancerous tumor is not treated, it can spread to other parts of the body.
To understand where the tumor is, it may help to know more about your ovaries.
A woman's reproductive system contains two ovaries. These are the other structures in that system:
Two fallopian tubes
Your ovaries are best known for hormone and egg production. They are located on either side of your pelvis. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg. After the egg leaves the ovary, it goes down the fallopian tube. If the egg connects with a sperm, it is fertilized and burrows into the wall of the uterus. There it grows to become a baby. If the egg is not fertilized, it leaves the body through the vagina along with the menstrual flow. The ovaries also make the hormones that control the development of certain parts of your body: breasts, body shape, and body hair. These hormones also control your menstrual cycle.
The ovary is made up of many layers of cells. Cancer can affect any one or all of these layers. The doctor may take some cells during a biopsy to reveal what type of ovarian cancer you have. The type of cancer partly determines your options for treatment. These are the main types of ovarian cancer:
Epithelial ovarian cancer. This is the most common type of ovarian cancer. It arises on the surface of the ovary.
Primary peritoneal cancer. This rare cancer type starts outside the ovaries in the tissue that lines the abdomen and pelvis. It is easily confused with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Germ cell ovarian cancer. This cancer starts in the cells that form eggs in the ovary.
Stromal cell cancer. This cancer forms in the tissue that holds the ovaries in place.
Fallopian tube carcinoma. This rare cancer starts outside the ovary, but is treated as ovarian cancer.

South Carolina is currently front and center in the presidential primary process. Its primary is set for Saturday, and the Republican candidates are all there looking for votes.
By the time the presidential race makes it to Mississippi and Alabama in two months, the GOP race could already be a virtual done deal. But local election officials say they hope not.
Just a few weeks to go now until Mississippi and Alabama voters head back to the polls. The presidential primaries are set for March 13.
"Right now, we are in the sort of pre-planning stages of the primaries, which will include the presidential primaries and the congressional primaries," said Lauderdale County Election Commissioner Rod Amos. "And we're still trying to collect data to figure out where we go from here."
Amos says turnout for the 2008 presidential election was high and that he and other election commissioners are hoping the same will ring true this year. But he says voters should be careful when voting, because some of the candidates could possibly withdraw from the race before Mar. 13.
"So, the names could appear on the ballot even though they withdraw before the primary," Amos said. "So, you sort of have to be cautious in seeing who's still in the race when the actual election time comes."
Officials also remind you that in order for your vote to count, you must vote in your correct precinct.
"They can take a look at their voter card and make sure where they live now is the same address as listed on their voter card," said Lauderdale County Election Commissioner Wallace Heggie. "If not, they need to come down to the circuit clerk's office and get that information changed."
"We're trying to help the parties get things together and get the election on the way so things run smoothly," said Lauderdale County Election Commissioner Awana Simmons. "That's what we want, good turnout. So, y'all get out and vote."
And election commissioners say, while the new voter ID law has been passed, it won't actually be in effect Mar. 13.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Giants outfielder Gregor Blanco was just 16 when a Venezuelan gang kidnapped him, holding him at gunpoint for four hours while demanding money from the Blanco family.
For 21-year-old pitching prospect Edwin Escobar, the nightmare scenario played out just a month ago. Escobar's parents were robbed in their own home and his father needed 15 stitches after being clubbed on the head.
Experiences like those have led the 12 Venezuelan players in Giants camp to join stars from around Major League Baseball in showing their support for protesters in Venezuela. On Sunday, the group held signs of support in a photo that was posted on Twitter and Instagram; on Monday, the team's Venezuelans were planning a video shoot, hoping to produce a taped message to send back home.
"What is happening there with the government is not okay, and we don't have to be used to it," Blanco said. "What's happening there, it shouldn't happen. The security is terrible; a robbery there is nothing, everyone has been robbed. There's not enough food or medicine and the hospitals have gotten really bad. We have to progress and get better as a country.
"The message we're sending is that the Venezuelan people have to be united. We're trying to let the citizens there know that we're with them. Hopefully this gives the people more power."
Venezuelan players around baseball have the same goal. The Detroit Tigers, led by two-time reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera, posed for a photo on Friday morning, followed shortly by Venezuelan contingents from teams such as the Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins. The trend has swept big league clubhouses, and a dozen A's joined in Monday morning, holding up signs and posing with a Venezuelan flag. The Giants players held up pieces of paper with varying messages, from "Far but not absent" to "Pray for Venezuela."
"When we come in every morning, that's the only thing we're talking about," catcher Hector Sanchez said. "We update each other on the latest news, watch the latest videos and look at Twitter. It's crazy, and incredibly sad."
Sanchez calls his parents after every workout at Scottsdale Stadium. Blanco races to check in with his eight-year-old son, who lives in Caracas, and has encouraged him not to attend school and stay out of the streets. Escobar is one of the top left-handed prospects in baseball and may make his MLB debut sometime this season, but he's having a difficult time fully enjoying big league camp. When he returns to the team hotel every afternoon, Escobar checks in with his wife and three-year-old son, who remain in Venezuela.
"I'm here trying my best and trying to make the club, but of course you're always worried," he said. "It's a really bad situation. Security there gets worse every day."
Reports out of Venezuela have at least 12 dead during weeks of antigovernment protests. Despite the potential danger for their families, Venezuelan players have shown little reticence while showing their support. Escobar has been active in retweeting videos and Pablo Sandoval has sent messages of support to his nearly 100,000 Twitter followers.
"I see it this way: When we play here, (the people in Venezuela) give us a lot of support," Cabrera told MLB.com. "Right now, a lot of players give a lot of support to the people of Venezuela."
Venezuelans in the Giants clubhouse said Monday that they're hoping to build a coalition of support throughout MLB. Cabrera, the country's biggest star, is said to be seeking a discussion with embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
"We're with the people," Escobar said. "We're here, but we're with them."
