The newly discovered 4-CEC is categorized as a research chemical and is classified as a Cathinone. Cathinones have the same chemical effects as amphetamines such as cathine, ephedrine and methcathinone. The most common occurrence of cathinones is in Catha edulis, commonly known as khat in many parts of the world today. It gives khat its stimulant effect by producing symptoms that mimic those of amphetamines and is considered the true active ingredient in the plant as opposed to cathines also found in khat.

Breast implant scandal firm also made testicles
- From: news.com.au
- January 06, 2012
- Chest and testicle implants may use tainted silicone
- Company embroiled in breast implant scandal
- Fears impants will rupture, cause cancer
THE French company at the centre of the breast implant scandal also made male chest and testicle implants using the same tainted silicone gel.
The male implants are believed to have been exported worldwide but it is unknown how many men had them fitted.
It said former employees of the now-closed French company PIP said the firm also created prosthetic silicone testicles - used following surgery for testicular cancer - and chest implants.
The report comes as governments around the world, including Australia's, prepare to issue advice to women over PIP implants.
In France, officials have told women they should have the implants removed after they were found to contain non-medical grade silicone intended for use in mattresses.
There is a danger the implants will rupture and there are fears the tainted gel may give patients cancer.

by Julia Alvarez
Once upon a time in the Dominican Republic there were three beautiful sisters who opposed the dictator Raphael Trujillo. The Mirabel sisters—Minerva, Patria and Maria Teresa—were murdered on a lonely road on Nov. 25, 1960, their deaths officially an accident. Known as Las Mariposas (the Butterflies), they have become legends in Latin America.
Julia Alvarez (How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents), who fled El Jefe's regime with her family four months before the murders, has written a gorgeous and sensitive novel in an attempt to understand how these well-to-do, convent-educated young women came to die in the cause of revolution. The narrative opens in 1994 with the fourth sister, Dede, who survived to raise her nieces and nephews and keep her siblings' memory alive. It shifts back to the '30s, '40s and '50s as each of the girls speaks softly in her own voice about her experiences and feelings and so reveals her character. There is headstrong Minerva, who wants to study law at the university; steady, devout Patria; easygoing and obedient Dede; and the youngest, coquettish Maria Teresa.
A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion, In the Time of the Butterflies offers an affecting view of life in Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Alvarez ends with Dede at a reception honoring her sisters. "We are now the playground of the Caribbean, who were once its killing fields. Was it for this, the sacrifice of the butterflies?" (Algonquin, $21.95)

I tried... I really did... Couldn't get more than 50 pages in before I had to give up. The story and the writing wasn't holding my interest and the plethora of names the author throws at you gets confusing pretty quickly. Might come back to it at another time...
Didn't finish.
Doctor Zhivago is a star-crossed romance set against a backdrop of civil war and social upheaval. It's grand on the scale of Gone With the Wind and every bit as sad. I only wish I'd read the newer English translation. My copy was the 1958 translation by Max Hayward and Manya Harari and much of it was just not natural sounding or very easy to understand.
Doctor Zhivago tells the story of Yury Zhivago, a man torn between his love for two women while caught in the tumultuous course of twentieth century Russian history. Yury's mother dies when he is still a young boy, and he is raised by his uncle Kolya. He enrolls at the university in Moscow, studying medicine. There he meets Tonya, and the two marry and have a son, Sasha.
Yury becomes a medical officer in the army and is stationed in a small town. He meets Lara, a woman whom he has seen twice before. The first time, he visited the house of a woman who tried to commit suicide, and he saw Lara, the woman's daughter, exchanging glances with an older man, Komarovsky. The second time, Lara tried to shoot Komarovsky at a party and instead wounded a prosecutor from the courts. Lara is married to Pasha, a young soldier who is missing, and she has come west to find him. She has a daughter, Katya, whom she has left in Yuryatin, her birthplace in the Urals.
Yury is captivated by Lara, but he returns to his wife and son in Moscow. Times are difficult, and the family must struggle to find food and firewood. They decide to move east to Varyniko, an estate once owned by Tonya's grandfather but now being worked as a collective. The journey is long and difficult, but when they arrive they find plenty of food and wood. Yury goes to the nearest city, Yuryatin, to use the library. There, he sees Lara once more. They begin an affair that lasts two months before Yury decides to break off contact and confess all to his wife. On his way, he is captured by the partisan army, which conscripts him as a medical officer.
Yury is forced to remain with the army through the end of the war between the Tsarist Whites and the Communist Reds. When he is released, he returns to Yuryatin to find Lara. The two spend several months together, and then they go to Varykino to hide. Lara's former husband, Pasha, became a leader in the Urals but is now wanted. Komarovsky returns and urges them to go east with him to avoid being killed. Yury's family has been exiled to Paris, and he is promised the opportunity to join them. Yury tricks Lara into taking her daughter and going with Komarovsky, while he remains at Varykino.
Yury returns to Moscow and finds work. He begins living with Marina, the daughter of a family friend. He and Marina have two children. Yury's old friends Misha and Nicky encourage him to resolve his divided loyalties toward Tonya and Marina. He finds a new job but on the way to his first day at work he dies of a heart attack. Lara comes to the funeral and asks Yury's half-brother, a lawyer, if there is any way to track the location of a child given away to strangers. She stays for several days and then disappears, likely dying in a concentration camp. Years later, Misha and Nicky are fighting in World War II and encounter a laundry-girl, Tanya, who tells them her life story. They determine that she is the daughter of Lara and Yury.
One of the most painfully boring books I ever had to read. Yes I know its a classic and I am probably not intelligent enough to understand it, but I won't lie. I was bored, often confused on who they were talking about and I didn't really like any of the characters. I didn't understand the fascination with Laura, and quite frankly thought Tonya was far more intriguing. Even watched the movie and this is one case in which I enjoyed the movie more than the book. That being said, I didn't love the movie either. I actually wanted to create a Staff UnPick sticker for this one. Positive note though as we read this for book club, we had a fabulous Russian dinner and I learned to appreciate good vodka. I made a fabulous Stalin's Georgian Lamb Stew. The recipe came from a book by Jason Matthews called Palace of Treason.

A nine-hour bus ride in the dead of winter with duck tape on the windows and luggage burying the seats nothing says a good time like a road trip with friends. This field trip, however, was more than just a group of friends having fun.
In mid-February, 49 people from Western New York spent a weekend in Washington, D.C., at the Dare2Share conference. Two youth groups from Grace Bible Church in Newfane and Ridgewood Bible Church in Lockport attended the conference. While there, students learned how to share their faith.
"A conference like Dare2Share is important for teens because it equips them to talk to their friends about their faith," said David Emmons, associate pastor of family and youth at Grace Bible Church. "They spend many hours a day talking to friends at school, on the phone, via Facebook, or wherever, [but] often most of these conversations are meaningless. The point of a conference like this is to encourage young people to talk to their friends about things that have real significance for this life and the next. It gives them the courage to tell their friends ... about Jesus Christ."
The students on the trip attend several area schools including Barker, Sweet Home, Newfane, Wilson, Starpoint, Lockport and Iroquois. Even a foreign exchange student from Thailand made the trip.
"They [the messages] are pretty much awesome," said Andrea Duxbury, 16, a sophomore at Newfane High School. "They tell you a lot about how to talk to your friends about Christ and they give you pointers on what to say and how to start the conversation -- it's very helpful."
Conference attendees were able to sing along with the band Shane & Shane.
"They were really good. I liked them a lot," Lindsey Brown, 15, of Barker said.
While at conference sessions, kids were encouraged to be "un" cool; not following shallow trends, not participating in harmful activities, upholding good morals and standing up for what you believe in. By doing this, students might be "un" popular, but they could also be "un" afraid and "un" alone.
"Our teenagers are pursuing success, money, popularity, notoriety, love, etc.," said Emmons. "My goal is to help them understand that there is only one thing that will provide what they are really searching for; purpose, meaning and hope. My desire is that they would understand that there's only one thing that has the power to impact their lives both now and for eternity; and that one thing is their relationship with Jesus Christ.""
During one session at the conference, hundreds of students called their friends to share their faith.
"It's amazing that God can use me to help others," Andrea said.
"I think [the conference] really teaches leadership skills," Lindsey said. "It will help you grow in your relationship with God. You're going to become a much stronger Christian and it helps you be a better example for other kids."
Aside from the spiritual growth students experienced on the trip, there was a lot of fun to be had.
"I know them from school -- like I've seen them in the hallway," said Andrea, "but this was a great opportunity to get to know them more. It's a lot of fun hanging out with friends. Everyone's very welcoming and encouraging. No one's left out at all."
The group also did some sightseeing throughout the capital.
"It was a lot of fun. It was exciting to go and see everywhere we went in D.C.," said Lindsey. "[My favorite was] probably the Washington Monument because I've always liked that. It's really big."
But these Western New York students returned home remembering the real reason for coming.
Emily Spina is a junior at Starpoint High School.

This was Yusuf Islam's first time here under either of his names.
He didn't make it under his old Cat Stevens moniker in his folk-rock hit-making heyday either.
And that was despite his band back then including Kiwi bassist Bruce Lynch, who joined Islam's band on one song last night.
So there was a lot of catching up to do in front of a sold-out Vector audience, people for whom those Stevens hits obviously form a good part of their personal soundtracks.
And for good reason too - his songbook of the late 60s to 70s put him alongside the likes of Elton John to Neil Diamond to Paul Simon as a pop perennial.
He's long been one of those guys whose classic tunes you've never had to own to know the best bits by heart.
But if they expected just an accurate rendering of the old folky anthems, the singer-songwriter had other ideas.
His reedy voice may not have aged a day, but his memory lane now has a few diversions to it.
The biggest of those last night was a mid-concert preview of his work-in-progress musical, Moonshadow which came complete with narration - boy-meets-girl on distant sun-deprived planet, loses job, to be continued - bad sci-fi hippy backdrop art and irksome reworked versions of old songs like Matthew and Son and Old School Yard.
Elsewhere he dashed off a quick medley of early songs including I Love My Dog and Here Comes My Baby, and reclaimed The First Cut is the Deepest from that Scottish guy who made it his own.
And while it was a show of curiously indulgent periods, including too much idle chat and an excruciating jazz-funk fusion odyssey by his backing band to allow their boss a change of shirt, it got there in the end.
True, there was a little too much forgettable new stuff, but Roadsinger, the title track from last year's album, held its own against the older tunes.
And of those, Wild World (complete with Zulu-translated verse), Where Do the Children Play? (dedicated to a certain ecological disaster), Moonshadow and Father and Son were delivered in heartfelt style and brought the audience to its feet for multiple encores.

People can do incredible things with games - including meticulously recreating scenes from movies from the early 90s. There are few better action sequences EVER committed to film than the truck chase scene from T2, and the fact these guys were able to remake it entirely in GTA 5 is damn impressive.

The Sanctuary is filled with little faces pleading 'Please choose me' from the very young to the very elderly - some are traumatised at losing their home and owners, others are just unwanted or abandoned and left to fend for themselves. They are all keeping their paws crossed hoping to be chosen as someone's special pet and to be loved and wanted once more.
Each of our rescues has their own story to tell. They all need our help but at least they are safe, well-fed and loved until the right new loving home comes along. Could you find a place in your home and heart and be rewarded with a friend and companion for life? For more information on the Sanctuary, please click here.

Building Work
Please note that we currently have extensive building work on site, as we knock down and replace our existing ancient and dilapidated kennel block. These essential works will cause disruption to site, with our already limited parking facilities being stretched even more! The building work is anticipated to last until Christmas - full details and plans for the new kennels are available to view via our news and appeals section. We will still be taking in and rehoming cats and dogs during this time (operating our usual opening times) and will need our volunteers, adopters and supporters more than ever. Please bear with us whilst we make the living accommodation far cosier, brighter, quieter and designed for optimum animal welfare for the dogs in our care.
Please help us build our dogs a new home
We have at long last been granted planning permission to add an extra 5 kennels which will help relieve some of the pressure and take in more deserving cases...

IT WAS indicated by one of us (M. A. R.) in a previous report1 that aspiration of bone marrow from the iliac crest may at times provide information not obtained from simultaneous aspiration of the sternal marrow in such infiltrative diseases of the hematopoietic system as multiple myeloma, metastatic cancer to bone, and lymphatic leukemia. In these conditions the iliac marrow often appeared to be involved earlier and more frequently than the sternal marrow. Only a few patients with metastatic cancer were included in this previous study of the relative merits of iliac and sternal marrow aspirations.
The present study is a report on 100 consecutive patients admitted to the Division of Neoplastic Diseases of Montefiore Hospital. Each of these patients had pathologically proved malignant disease with definite evidence of distant metastases. There were 32 patients with cancer of the breast, 18 with genitourinary cancer, 14 with

In a report released on Thursday, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) sharply criticized Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) recent work to combat Internet piracy and copyright infringement. Google announced last August that it would begin taking copyright removal notices into its search result rankings.
Half a year later, the RIAA believes the policy hasn't been fulfilled. The association came out with a list of grievances, including claiming that sites it analyzed remained near the top of search rankings, even with copyright infringements. It's no small claim, given that studies have shown that 94% of Google users do not scroll past the first page of results, according to the RIAA's release.
"In other words, whatever Google has done to its search algorithms to change the ranking of infringing sites, it doesn't appear to be working," the RIAA's statement said.
The RIAA further criticized Google for promoting sites with infringement notices in saying, "...a site for which Google has received thousands of copyright removal requests was almost 8 times more likely to show up in a search result than an authorized music download site."
The association similarly condemned Google's anti-piracy and infringement-fighting push last year, while also criticizing the company's transparency reports.

Moscow Urban Renewal Executive Director, Jeff Jones updated the city council on the national, regional, and local economic trends Monday night. He explained that the "Latah County Micropolitan Area" economy is highly dependent on the employment rate, which has been picking up since 2011 after it crashed during the recession.
"If the region continues to grow primary jobs, export oriented types of jobs import money, export a good or a service, the rest of everything else will become healthier," said Jones.
Jones said there's been significant growth in the local agricultural and manufacturing industries in recent years. But, there have been significant decreases in areas like construction and government and state employees. Jones said if the economy continues to grow at its current rate, the Latah County area would get back to the employment peak it reached in 2008.

The critics say they're indebted to Hitchcock for their tropes, obsessions and subjects, but what I really see in Italian horror director Dario Argento and Italian-American suspense director Brian De Palma is a bizarre split-subject psychic twin connection, a shared reptile dysfunction that springs from Catholicism, ancient Rome, and scopophilia-driven sexual obsession mingled into a love story linking across the oceans and continents from Rome to the USA; a round trippy immigrant passage between the mammalian higher brain's compassion and the reptilian cortex of unsocialized pre-empathic killer. De Palma has made a few films exploring this sort of split-subject psychic twin connection (SISTERS, THE FURY, RAISING CAIN) while Argento oomphs his dark fairy tale sensationalism with it. Argento even wanted Jessica Harper for SUSPIRIA after seeing her in De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE. He said so.
And I didn't even know this when I started this post, but they were born the same month (September) of the same world war-ridden year (1940), six days apart. They are both Virgo, sign of the virgin, sign of obsession, poring over film strips and sound boards with the repressed energy of a thousand unreached orgasms!
And I didn't even know this when I started this post, but they were born the same month (September) of the same world war-ridden year (1940), six days apart.

|from top: Jessica Harper w/mic in PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE
(De Palma); w/knife in SUSPIRIA (Argento)
Both have been accused of objectification and misogyny due to their detailed gruesome violence against the female body. I used to agree with that diagnosis, but now I blame their reptile sadistic killer instincts on intense Italian mother-love and Catholic guilt (Hitchcock, too, was Catholic). The Devouring Mom's giant hydra apron strings cling to their minds no matter how much their onscreen avatars hack at them, each new woman's body a tendril-tentacle. I've come to feel my own feminist ire is founded in that same struggle, coupled to the unbearable level of anxious dread and soggy liberal arts guilt that being a man is all about --the compulsory mammalian instinct to protect the women vs. the cold reptile desire to savage them. When a camera doesn't look away from the horror wrought by our helpless positions as observers on the opposite side of the screen, caught like a masochistic spider in a sadistic web, then real horror can begin. Feminists like myself blame the camera, the director, for our intense discomfort. Better we should have our eyes gouged out than see such traumatic butchery! Rather than examine this response, we lash out, labeling the directors misogynist in a vain attempt to scrub the horror from our eyes.
But Argento and De Palma will not let us look away. Even if we gouged our eyes out they'd find a way to reach us with these images.
Clara Calamai, Jacopo Mariani - DEEP RED
|Blood and black, from top: SCARFACE, SUSPIRIA (see Mater Testiculorum)
Argento and De Palma also use similar post-modern effects, deconstructing their own misogyny and their audience's demands for blood; each goes deep into the human eye, ever searching for what lies past the inscrutable inky black roundness of the pupil. Cameras, mirrors, photographs, film sets, stage sets, plays, taxidermy, and elements of performance-within-performance, masks behind masks, abound. I generally don't like dream sequences, they're like vents in which to dump cheap manipulations and sudden shocks without the burden of context, but De Palma melds and mirrors the dreams and reality together so completely that this harsh judgment doesn't apply; Argento does away with waking life altogether. Occasionally an Argento character wakes up in some exterior, drops by an outside a parapsychology conference for some exposition (as if a glass of water, or a quick trip to the bathroom), then it's back down into bed, the pillows, the mattress below it, the floor below that, the floor, the floor below... the floor... and then they're back and unsafe in the Freudian nightmare murk.
|from top: De Palma - CARRIE, Argento - INFERNO, De Palma -
DRESSED TO KILL, Argento - 4 FLIES ON GREY VELVET
Interesting too is that Argento's work has by critical consensus really sucked since 2001's SLEEPLESS, while at the same time De Palma's been pulling himself out of a sucky period (with 2002's FEMME FATALE). It's as if these aging auteurs are sharing a pair of traveling genius pants. De Palma's been returning to his old haunts, where cheap raincoats, razors, masks, split screens, double cross media-blackmail-stalk-and-snap PEEPING TOM post-modern media theory coupled to a PSYCHO-style cross examination, circular staircase POVs, and a psychiatrist's explanatory monologue wrapping the catalog of kinks back up in its brown wrapper before a final gotcha which often ends up being a dream within a dream, or was it (as in his recent PASSION)?
Without those traveling pants, Argento is floundering; he's become just another late night Cinemax director paying more attention to disturbing gore, gaudy sex and no art-as-violence fairy tale tricks for which we love him. Maybe it's because De Palma is making smaller movies that suit his fancies, while Argento seems laboring under the pressure of his name (and his refusal for example in MOTHER OF TEARS to go with his ex-wife's fairy tale script which might have rocked, and instead some nobody American guy's, one can only imagine it was because his had less art and more gore which is all he cares about these days, don't get me started).
Either way, and as an aside, this does not betray my grand theory that they are twins linked by some strange telepathy, like Jennifer Connelly with her flies in PHENOMENA (1984), or Amy Irving with Andrew Stevens in THE FURY (1977).

None of this is to accuse either Argento or De Palma of being a mama's boy, a misogynist, a copycat, or a potential murderer. For better or worse (mostly better), the critical backlash against their movies has helped usher in the PC-era. With feminist ire building in nearly everyone, the blatantly phallic drill, endless softcore strutting and groping in De Palma's BODY DOUBLE (1984) was like an affront even to his defenders and defenders of the 80s in general. In Argento's similar films, sexual fetishizing is never an issue, except as far as elaborating on the madness of the mother or father fixation which then (usually) triggers a schizophrenic break with reality.
Now that I'm older though, I see the misogynistic violence of De Palma and Argento through this same schizophrenic prism, and realize only by expressing these wormy fantasies can we temporarily-cathartically expel them, or at least depressurize them so they don't explode and cause real-life damage. How many hydra apron strings were severed or unstuck in American families thanks to PSYCHO (1960)? It made such a splash on its initial release that the ripples haven't ceased in fifty years. It changed the way America went to the movies and gave armchair psychologists a gold standard for the dangers of maternal suffocation. Who knows how many closeted or overprotected men would still be living at home and doing their mothers' toenails on a Saturday night if not for PSYCHO as a warning? "You better move out before you end up like Norman Bates." Who knows where De Palma or Argento would be without it? PSYCHO snapped the 60s off at the shower curtain 50s root, and tossed it into the inky black pupil drain, where emaciated 20 year-olds like De Palma and Argento were waiting with their celluloid nets.
|Color-coded patterns from top (alternating De Palma/Argento):
Naturally these psychic twins are not identical: Argento's psychoanalysis is perhaps deeper while De Palma is more into politics (Italy wasn't as mired in Vietnam). Argento's connection to music is more wryly contrapuntal than De Palma's, making innovative use of children's songs, whispering, percussion and even electric bass-driven funk from Goblin and Ennio Morricone. In DEEP RED, particularly a real break with convention is begun: swooning pop balladry as heads get slow motion sliced by shattered windshields--the glass a pop art snowstorm--and rattling nerve-grating, plastic cup echo-drenched percussion that stops when David Hemmings steps on a bottle, then resuming just as abruptly when a shade falls. This approach is the total opposite of the usual emotional-telegraphing of Hollywood, of which De Palma is part, preferring the usual overwrought orchestras. De Palma had Bernard Hermann scoring (De Palma's first films, and Hermann's last) which cemented the Hitchcock connection, but the genius of creating undulating nervous tension with an orchestra died when he did. Even geniuses like Hermann don't get how mellow pop songs should accompany murders and suspense music play over romantic parts. I've never been too crazy about the score of TAXI DRIVER for that reason, it's like Hermann doesn't get the ambivalence and Herzogian inscrutable stone face of the natural gods thing the way, say, Tangerine Dream got it for SORCERER. It takes true madness and the ability to convey the full breadth of that madness so those listening don't have time to recognize and escape it. It's only when De Palma got an Italian to score, Ennio or Nino Rota, that it really gels.
|From top: NORTH BY NORTHWEST, DR. NO, the full ambiguity of
casual sex at its most chilling, and therefore truest.
Argento and De Palma use romance in a subversive manner, riffing on the lovers-on-the-run style of Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) by having romantic comedy tropes tossed nervously in with the suspense, sifting through the queasy mix of dread and attraction that occur during a casual hook-up, i.e. when the other person's hot but it's all happening a bit too fast to not seem suspicious (where only Connery era-Bond or Cary Grant can safely tread). Is that what happens when a charming sociopath puts their moves on you? The winding up in bed with them is carefully crafted to make you think it's chance and fate, the night itself conspiring to bring you together, but already they're spiriting you away from your old life with surgical expertise. Even if they don't end up boiling your rabbit, or bringing you someone's head in a box, it can still be dangerous to bring them home or go home with them. Every hook-up is a risk. It's like a romantic comedy is coming true and you think somehow you deserve it, because your hormones scream oui oui. But something's not right. A grown man shouldn't exclaim aloud, "I forgot to phone mother!" while sitting down to martinis with executives at the 21 Club, expecting all these peers of yours to understand.
|from top: De Palma (DRESSED), Argento (BIRD), De Palma, Argento - etc.
|They see you (from top: DRESSED, DEEP RED)
MISOGYNY of the GAZEThe stuff that really traumatizes me now is not the gore of De Palma and Argento but the unconscious, casual cruelty of other films (like VACANCY or WOLF CREEK), that aren't necessarily good or scary but leave me damaged for days, just imagining anyone would ever want to see or get off on that kind of torture porn brutality. Argento and De Palma are more compassionate; the very idea of film violence obsesses them to the point that they can target and exorcise it through a double blind mirror-to-the-audience gaze reflector, such as the movie screen-shaped white art gallery entrance in THE BIRD WITH CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (below), or the (wider) screened window of De Palma's BODY DOUBLE (below that).
Lest we forget, BODY DOUBLE made co-star Melanie Griffiths (Tippi Hedren's daughter), an overnight star for her bubbly voice and her so 80s window striptease VERTIGO honey trap; Nancy Allen in DRESSED TO KILL uses her sexy body as a weapon to overwhelm the killer's gaze. It's this idea of feeling suddenly exposed as the viewer in the audience that activates the killer hiding in plain sight within the viewer's "normal" psyche-- such as when the psychic 'sees' the murderer while on stage at the psychic conference in Argento's DEEP RED. Dude, she's seeing us.
Part of the feminist arousal of ire perhaps stems from the anger at being forced to feel what the murders are depicting, not just from the stabbed side but the stabber, the horror and savagery of the murders leave their mark our murkiest reptilian recesses. But they are meant to be disturbing, to heighten our senses through fear and make us paralyzed in our seats. That is the correct reaction to these violent depictions and to presume it's not, that it's sadistic and somebody's getting off on it, is to presume a vast nation of rain-coated social sadists who get off on seeing sexy women terrorized. The response of feminist outrage is connected to the same repressive mechanisms that motivate the killers in De Palma's DRESSED TO KILL and Argento's DEEP RED. Seeing themselves being seen, they freak out. It's as if Argento and De Palma are doctors who touch these critical viewers in places within themselves they don't want to admit exist, so the urge is to sue for sexual harassment. But maybe he was checking for a tumor! Maybe she's reading too much into it based on her own hang-ups?
In these shots/scenes we're given a profound metatextual illustration of the perverse appeal of violence on the big screen, and the reason for our sometimes violent offense seeing it -- our urge to rush the screen and pull it down before the unthinkable happens, and if we fail, to find the director and pour our drink on his head and kick him in the nuts. When I was young in the 70s-early 80s, seeing an R-rated murder like in SUSPIRIA or HALLOWEEN was the equivalent of a scary roller coaster, a rite of passage, something you needed friends to go to with (at the drive-in or dangerous downtown theater). But if the audience laughs and cheers the murder (as they would going down a roller coaster hill) and someone is there alone and sulky to review the film for the Times, would they not worry, hearing the cheers and giggles, that these films are mere pornography for vicious misogynist freaks? I know that's what I would have felt. I read those reviews and developed a whole irate feminist vulnerability complex because of them, or imagining the audience cheering slaughter of sexually aware females, as if the theater reverted to some biblical age-style adulteress stoning.
But I now think these murders are meant to tap into our mammalian protective instincts far more than reptilian cortex sadism. More than cheering brutal murders, we scream at characters onscreen in helpless frustration not to go back in the house, or basement (hence all those 70s horror titles DON"T ANSWER THE PHONE, DON'T LOOK IN THE BASE etc.). But our anger over their counterintuitive behavior might be our attempt to shirk our responsibility. We want desperately to feel like the endangered woman brought it on herself for making so many counterintuitive decisions, that believing she deserved it will absolve us of the guilt that we couldn't be there to save her, that her death onscreen is the result of our real-life absence from our own lives, but it's not our fault!! Damn you for even tricking us into thinking so.
|untraversable screens - from top: Argento, De Palma, Hitchcock (viewer helpless to help, or look away)
But it's really the powerlessness of being tied (more or less) to our chair and unable to be heard through the screen (often represented in De Palma like a shower stall or rainy window), and guilty at our own bloodlust, the deep dark reptilian-dysfunctional part of our viewing brains (the type that eats their young and has no empathy), that we're reacting to. It's simplistic to call that misogynist, because if we didn't feel that way, if we relished her weakness and bad choices as chances to strike, then we reduce ourselves to the lonesome status of the reptile, or cokehead, a sociopath rather than a compassionate mammal-reptile hybrid. As so often in Argento films, we shudder enough watching the stalkings and killings that we need our own avatar for that shuddering, someone similarly trapped outside the screen - unable to save and unable to look away - the reptile mind holding our terrified mammalian eyes on the blood with the same insistence as the administrator of the Ludovico Technique.

AVENGING ANGELS and DEMONESSES
|from top: Argento, De Palma, Argento -etc.
Art galleries and artist studios legitimize scopophilic behavior, allowing for more a broader palette of associative symbolism stretching the sexual gamut, via headless statues and statue-less heads, Bosch and Bruegel, Escher and surrealists. Through art, Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze is equalized, or at least - broadened. In horror film the male gaze is used as a weapon, the desired woman onscreen looks back. Hence my term Mecha-Medusa (wherein the object looks back, freezing us with the uncanny, skeevy horror of our own initially lewd stare). See also: subliminal screens, metaphors for the immersive film viewing-experience, the mass hypnosis of the theater where for awhile we merge into a group mind caught under the sway of a dangerous crazy person.
| frpm top: STENDAHL SYNDROM, DRESSED TO KILL
Associative and literal misogynistic devouring / dismemberment / triggers
|from top: Agento, De Palma, Argento, De Palma, Argento, etc.
Blindness allows for heightened variations on the HVR or Heightened Victim or Helpless Viewer response (we can't help them across the street); fetish objects for objectifying (they can't look back); they cannot be threatened by what they see, hence not a threat (as in the men blinded for seeing too much by matriarchal coven-ruled social order in the 1978 TVM, THE DARK SECRET OF HARVEST HOME --blindness as symbolic castration); while at the same time some--like Malden in CAT O'NINE TAILS above--use their other heightened senses to advantage (linking their hearing to the sharper hearing of animals, or Travolta's field microphones).
|Argento x 2, De Palma x2
They fog, and when something or someone looks in them and freezes stock still, they become their own objects. Doubling is related to that --evil twins, and the inherent split of actors and characters (as in the split between the woman playing a terrified woman in a horror film, or literally split in the case of the body doubles in De Palma's BLOW OUT and BODY DOUBLE, figuratively in the separated twins of SISTERS or RAISING CAIN or the eerie similarity romances (someone looks just like someone else the protagonist was in love with and saw die-- stemming from VERTIGO) - -Geneveive Bujold in OBSESSION, Melanie Griffith in BODY DOUBLE, Margot Kidder in SISTERS, the two raincoats in DRESSED TO KILL, and so forth.
PRIMARY COLOR SYMBOLISM:Deep Red is the color of menstruation, child birth, the link to sex and excitement, flushed cheeks, heat / dark blue the color of swollen wounds, the chill of the deep, dark death, etc.
DREAMS / DREAMLIKE FLASHBACKS:De Palma relies on them but drags them really slow and methodical, without any dialogue and often backwards so that they're as relevant as 'reality' within the film; Argento flashes to them now and then, more out of stories told or childhood memories of the asylum or before or after (where everyone acts like automatons). De Palma links dreams with horror movies worked on by characters of his movie (John Travolta in BLOW-OUT), or wordless operas, or the clockworkiness of Bergman's WILD STRAWBERRIES or Dali's dream clocks in SPELLBOUND and MOONTIDE.
CIRCULAR STAIRWAYS:Great for chase sequences and as symbolic of the 'descent' into the unknowable squirmy recesses of the subconscious.
|frop top: Godard, Coppola, Argento, Argemto, De Palma, De Palma
SOUND RECORDING:The visual screen is just part of it, of course. Coppola's THE CONVERSATION was hugely influential on both De Palma and Argento (the scopophilia kink extends to eavesdropping). They both similarly took notice of Godard and Truffaut (as in the DON'T SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER-style arc of BLOW OUT) whose incorporation of the recording studios and screening rooms they were using into the films themselves indicated an unhesitating post-modern bent.
|From top: PEEPING TOM, REAR WINDOW, BLOW-UP, TAXI DRIVER
Antonioni's BLOW UP, Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW and Powell's PEEPING TOM are huge (obviously) influences to both directors. To a lesser extent, TAXI DRIVER (if Travis had a 16mm movie camera to point at the mirror and the pimps, imagine the movie he would make!)
TRAVERSABLE SCREENS: De Palma is more obsessed with the hot female body threatened by the gaze (and threatening to it as well) while Argento is obsessed with childhood dreams, fairy tales elaborated into operatic tableaux (the automaton movements of the child in the DEEP RED flashbacks, etc.) Argento is more centered directly on metaphors for cinema viewing itself while De Palma focuses more on the cinematic apparatus. Note the way the shadows in the picture above makes the childhood drawing look like its projected on the wall; below that is the image from INFERNO, the screen is slowly torn through by a dying woman. Unlike the earlier example, these screens aren't there to mock our powerlessness to save a woman, but to threaten our sanity by either coming through the screen (like a broken head through a window) as in Lamberto Bava's DEMONS or beckoning us through into some dark horror chamber (as in DEEP RED)
For De Palma it's not the art house he recreates with his traversible screen, but the drive-in, the NASHVILLE or TARGETS or PATTON-style backdrop, such as the flag behind the climax of BLOW OUT or the blue behind Carrie at THE PROM (just as in SCREAM or THE RING it's not the theater or drive-in but the TV), like a kind of multi-media breakdown.
|I don't see anybody else here.
(from top: CARRIE, DRESSED TO KILL, TAXI DRIVER)
(for DRESSED witness two lights like eyes with Allen's sexy back the nose
and the phone the mouth, that's the Other!)
|from top: 4 FLIES IN GREY VELVET, PSYCHO
Lastly, don't forget AMER (2009): perhaps so meta as to transcend narrative altogether, it presumes a certain familiarity with Argento and De Palma's oeuvre and their shared psycho-sexual roots as well as the distinctly Antonioni-esque experimental ambiguity where Jungian fairy tale subtexts go so deep down they come out the top like digging to China. One of the rare feature length films credited as being directed by a couple (she's French, he's Italian), the film is truly split, not just into three chapters but into experimental and narrative; not scene-by-scene but shot-by-shot. At last he twins of fairy tale sexual psyche are united, the children of the giallo are born again, and the unification of male and female halves make a unique whole. AMER is the fulfillment of the promise in Argento and De Palma's most dreamlike works, distilled with all the plots and narrative weeded out but still riveting. It's glorious.

Take Team 117, for instance. It entered the 2013 season hoping to be remembered as the group that turned Tennessee's football fortunes. Heading into Saturday night's finale at Kentucky, however, it is hoping not to be remembered as the group that posted the first eight-loss season in program history.
Bottom line: A season once built on positive goals – a winning record and bowl bid – has been reduced to avoiding a negative achievement – the losingest record in Volunteer annals.
Obviously, the Vols don't want to be that team.
"It's very imperative that we win," senior defensive end Jacques Smith said. "If we are the first team to make eight losses it will be a big devastation to me and the rest of these seniors. We're going to do whatever we can to get this win."
Senior linebacker Dontavis Sapp echoed those sentiments, noting that averting the first eight-loss season in program history is "very important. Our pride is on the line. Tennessee is on the line … the whole state. If we give up we're letting so many people down that we don't even know about."
Tennessee probably has fielded worse teams than the 2013 squad. Teams are judged by their records, however, so future generations are likely to view this as the program's worst squad ever if it suffers an eighth loss.
"That's a motivator for us," sophomore safety Brian Randolph said. "It motivates us to try and put a bright spot on our season. We know we're not the worst team, so we're going to try and prove it."
Senior offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James agrees that being part of the only eight-loss season in program history is not the legacy the 2010 signing class wants to leave behind.
"It's very important," he said. "We don't want to be remembered as a 2010 class for breaking streaks or starting streaks. We don't want to do that. We just want to go out and compete, try to get a victory."
Senior defensive lineman Marlon Walls said the same thing except even more emphatically. It means a lot to him that this team not be remembered as the losingest in program history.
"This season has been disappointing for us but, at the same time, we don't want to go out as being the worst team in Tennessee history," he said. "That's what's at stake right now…. We refuse to be the first team to lose eight games in Tennessee history. This goes way back before us. It's way more important than us, so we've got to hold the bar. The bar's been set for us, so it's time to go to work."
Senior guard Zach Fulton conceded that "It's very important not to be that team. That's one of our motivating points we have this week. We talked about it in our team meeting."
Senior running back Rajion Neal feels the same way, noting: "We're going to do everything in our power not to be a part of that type of history."
Setting a record for futility by posting an eight-loss season would be especially painful for members of this senior class, since they will get no opportunity for redemption.
In addition to being the first Vol squad ever to lose eight times in a season, a loss in Lexington would make this the first Vol squad in nearly five decades (1964) to lose to Vanderbilt and Kentucky in the same season.
Tennessee's program already posted some regrettable feats this fall. For instance:
Largest losing margin (45 points) in a 59-14 setback at Oregon since a 48-0 defeat at the hands of Mississippi A&M in 1910.
First time since the 1920s losing to Vanderbilt in back-to-back seasons.
First time since 1903-06 posting four losing seasons in a row.
Whether they win or lose on Saturday, Tennessee's players will be forgiven by most of Vol Nation if they play hard. Conversely, if they go through the motions – as they did in a 10-7 loss at Lexington in 2011 – the players can count on being vilified by their own fans.
Neal remembers that pitiful effort at Commonwealth Stadium in 2011, noting: "It definitely will be brought up as something we talk about to give us a little fuel to motivate us."
Smith also views Tennessee's last trip to Lexington as a cautionary tale for this year's squad.
"It's an ugly memory," he said, "and I just want to erase it with a win."

We've got results for local elections from Lewiston as voters there had two major issues to decide on the ballot for the school district.
Lewiston voters were asked to re-approve a supplemental levy that accounts for 29% of the district's annual budget and comes up for renewal every five years. That's passing with nearly 86% in favor, with all 25 precincts having been counted.
Voters were also asked to decide on who they'd like to fill the two seats up for election on the Lewiston school board. Those casting their ballots selected Brad Cuddy to retain his seat with more than 41% voting for him... Incumbent Sheri Allen retains her seat as well with nearly 41% of the vote. Challengers Ken Krahn and Norma Allen were each able to garner about 9% each. And again all 25 precincts have been counted

WASHINGTON -- The Ottawa Senators got a major boost Thursday when reigning Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson returned to game action.
"I'm in tonight," Karlsson told the assembled media in Washington after the Senators' morning skate. "I'm feeling good lately, and I think it's about time to play some hockey again.
"I've been away for a while. All the other guys are up to pace. For me, it's about trying to find the feeling that I had before and just get the pace in me. Just trying to be focused and trying to play well."
Karlsson recorded a shot less than a minute into Thursday's game.
The NHL's top defenseman last season, Karlsson sustained a serious injury to his Achilles tendon Feb. 13 when Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke stepped on the back of his leg.
Karlsson was expected to miss the rest of the season following surgery but recently returned to practice and was back with regular defense partner Marc Methot for Wednesday's skate.
The Senators need two points in the standings to clinch a playoff spot.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
