Interview: 'Game of Thrones' author George R.R. Martin
George R.R. Martin has been living with the characters you'll see in Sunday night's premiere of HBO's "Game of Thrones" for 20 years now. The former TV writer ("Beauty and the Beast," "The Twilight Zone") started work on the first book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels back in 1991, published the first in 1996, and ever since has been dealing with questions and suggestions about how the books might be adapted to the screen.
He doesn't have to wonder any more. "Game of Thrones" debuts Sunday at 9 p.m., and I thought it was terrific - and that's coming from the perspective of someone who, as I explained to Martin at the start of a long phone interview, hasn't read any of the books(*).
(*) And for that reason let me remind you the rules I laid out in that initial review, which is that plot spoilers from the first book or any of the future ones are not cool, and will be deleted. I want other Westeros newbies to have the same sense of discovery I did.
Martin and I talked about the challenge of adapting the books - about the fight for the throne of a kingdom in an alternate history version of England in the Middle Ages, known as Westeros - about casting so many of the pivotal roles, about ways in which the TV show might influence the later books, and a lot more. I even got a cathartic moment where I got to object to one particular quirk of Martin's writing style that's going to be an ongoing problem in my coverage of the show.
I have not actually read the books. Friends kept telling me to, but then the series was announced and I decided I wanted to be able to judge the show on its own, to see if it worked without the books as a guide.
That's true for many thousands of people, I'm sure.
And I think it did. I was able to follow it. What is your expectation of how people like me are going to come to the series? And are there any parts of it that you're especially nervous about whether they'll be able to understand it?
The thing that I was most nervous about was the first episode. Just plunging into the world. It's quite a complicated situation. As a novelist, I have certain tools at my disposal that aren't available to Dan (Weiss) and David (Benioff), like glossaries, and maps, not to mention devices within the narrative itself like internal monologue, none of which you can really do in television and film. So we kind of begin with a very complex series of histories and genealogies, and what happened during Robert's rebellion, 16 years before the present day. And then I knew people would be asking who are all these different families, and what are their relations? What is the place of Jon Snow? What is the place of Theon Greyjoy? Who are all these other hangers-on? Maester Lewin and Sir Roderick and so forth. You have to pick up the kind of stuff you would for historial fiction, but also a unique set of established relationships and backstory. Dave and Dan had a hell of a challenge ahead of them, and I feel they've succeeded admirably, without having to resort to clunky devices like voiceover or an opening monologue.
But of course, people like you will be the judge of that, not the people like me. I'm too close to it.
Well, for the benefit of people like me, how exactly would you describe the plot of the show for someone who's wondering what it's about and whether they should watch it?
David Benioff had the tagline "'The Sopranos' in Middle Earth," which I think touches on the tone in a high concept Hollywood way. It's an epic fantasy story. It's grittier than most that people think of when they think of epic fantasy. It's about a contest for power in the imaginary seven kingdoms of Westeros, and the focus is on the characters, and on the people, and on the politics. It's much more about politics and people than it is about magic.
I was going to say, it seems as we enter this world like there may have once been magic here, but it hasn't been seen in a long long time, and there's very little magic in the six episodes I've seen. That's rare for most of the fantasy I've been exposed to.
There is more magic as the series goes along. It increases book by book, but it increases by a fairly slow rate. Even at the place where I end is the place where others begin. It has to be handled very carefully in fantasy. If you have too much of it, it tends to take over and drown out everything else. I've always taken my mantra from Faulkner's Nobel Prize speech, where he said the only thing worth writing about is the human heart and the conflict within itself. And I think that's true whether you're writing fantasy or contemporary fiction or a Western or science fiction or what have you. The basis of any story has to be the human heart and the conflict within itself.
You've seen two episodes so far. What did you think of them?
Very positive. I loved them. Dave and Dan have done a great job. There are some changes here and there, but it's still recognizably my story. I think my fans, 99% of them will love what they see. There will always be the 1% who will be upset because there's been a small change and they won't allow for that. You get things like Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" movies, where some of the Tolkien fans were upset that he left out Tom Bombadil, but most of the fans came to really love those movies.
Prose and filmed entertainment have different strengths and weaknesses. Are there any parts of the series so far - either in what you've seen on screen or what you know about from having worked on it? - that you feel have improved on the books?
I think some of the sets are maybe better than I imagined them. The Eyrie, the high hall of the Arryns, I saw that set in Belfast, and it's actually quite different from what I describe in the book, but it's better than what I describe... For the throne, they came up with this wonderful driftwood thing, with the actual branches flowing off of it. The moon door, in my book, is a door set in the wall. It's just a door, but it leads to nothing. They came up with the big moon door in the center of the floor. I think that's also more interesting than my ordinary door. That's something where, I don't know if it was Dave and Dan, or the set designer, the art director, or who came up with it. Working in television and film, you do get input.
Given that it's a collaborative medium, I'm sure there have been instances where someone's questioned you about your motives for something you wrote in a vacuum, and you had to ask yourself, "Yeah, why did I write that?"
Yeah, we've had a few conversations like that.
Can you give me an example?
(long pause) Most of the ones that are coming to mind would be spoilers from late in the season, so I'd better not.
Fair enough. As someone who's worked in TV before, I'm sure you had some sense of which parts of the books might be easy to adapt and which might be hard. Were there any parts of the books that surprised you in how easy or difficult they were to adapt?
Well, I've only seen two episodes so far.
Sure, but you were a collaborator, you visited the sets, I'm sure you heard things about how production was going.
The big battles are coming up. I'm going to be very interested to see in how they render those. There are three big battles in the first book, that I handled three very different ways. Well, you haven't read the books, so you don't know about those. There's the Battle on the Green Fork, that one I fully relate to from Tyrion's point of view; you're in that battle, you're experiencing it, I completely describe it. Then there's the Battle of the Whispering Wood a little bit later, and in that one I was in Cat's point of view, she's not in the battle, she's overlooking the battle, it's night and she can't see much, she almost hears it, I described it almost entirely by sound. Then there's the Battle of the Camps, which in the books I didn't show at all. I just had a messenger rush in and describe the results of the battle. Partly it's because these three battles occur very closely to each other in time in the narrative of the book, so I didn't want to repeat myself with a triple-beat there. I have no idea how David and Dan approached those three battles, or even if they're all in, or if some of them have been changed. That is one of the most challenging things to do on a television budget, is to do a big battle. You look at a show like HBO's "Rome," the great Battle of Pharsalus between Pompey and Ceasar, "Rome" showed that by showing the two leaving their tents, and then cut to Pompey's standard lying in the mud. There was no battle. But then when they got to the Battle of Philippi, they gave us fairly detailed battles. So there's various ways of handling that, and it is one of the most expensive and challenging ways of doing things.
And then of course, not to give away a spoiler here, but there there's the final scene in episode 10 - which of course you have no idea about because you haven't read the books yet. The final scene, suffice it to say, that's going to require a certain amount of special effects. How will they handle those special effects? I'm looking forward to seeing how they do it.
Have you been pleased with what you've seen so far of the special effects?
Oh, very much so. A year ago I had seen the original pilot. (Directed by Tom McCarthy before recasting and reshoots led to most of it being scrapped.) And that had a couple of shots of the Wall that were very very rough, just placeholders. I said, "Oh, boy, I hope it looks better than this." And it does. I thought they did a great job with the wall and the castles. A lot of it is CGI. I was going to say matte paintings, but I'm dating myself doing that. That's from back in my day. I guess we're beyond matte paintings now.
Some authors say that when they're inventing a character they may write with a particular actor in mind, not for a future adaptation but just to have a picture in their head, like how Ian Fleming always thought of Hoagy Carmichael when he wrote early James Bond. Did you have any actors in mind for any of these characters as they were being created?
I can't say I ever wrote characters with actors in mind. I started the first book in 1991, it was published in 1996, so that's a long time ago. When the first book came out, some of my readers started playing the casting game, which fans tend to do. They would dream about feature films and they would send me a cast list, some of which I read, some of which were interesting. The problem is when fans play the casting game, it's like they cast every part with a major motion picture star, so the casts are completely impractical. When we realistically started developing this five years ago, David and Dan and I had a meeting that went for five hours, and when we finally got to talking about casting, the two that really leapt to mind, even before a word of the script had been written, was Sean Bean for Ned and Peter Dinklage for Tyrion. They were the first choices for those parts, and really the only choices.
It's a very strong cast all around. Are there any actors in particular whom you look at on screen and say, "That is absolutely the character as I wrote it"?
With a great many of them. I think we have a fantastic cast. I think the children are among the ones who stand out to me, just because they were very difficult to find. We did not have anyone in mind. You're getting kids, who generally do not have a resume. We looked at hundreds of young actors for each of the three major children, Sansa, Arya and Bran. It was very difficult. Most child actors are good at being cute and memorizing some lines. Mostly they're employed in sitcoms. We needed children who could really act, who could carry a substantial part of what at times is a very dark storyline and go through scenes of grief and fear and terror, and I think we found three marvelous actors in Sophie Turner, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, and maybe most of all, Maisie Williams as Arya. She's just incredible.
I'm glad you mentioned the kids, because they're often the part - not just of fantasy stories, but most fiction - where I tune out of the story for a while, but that wasn't the case here. What do you feel you did to transcend that usual trap?
I think in television and film, it's not usually the child's point of view. It's the story of an adult. If there's a child in a drama or an action-adventure movie, they're someone who needs to be saved, someone who needs to be protected, or if they're killed, someone who needs to be avenged. Their character doesn't matter much. They're just "generic child, insert here" - as a spur to help motivate the adult actors who actually help carry the story. But in "A Song of Ice and Fire," the children are a large part of the story, and very quickly get put into situations where they have to try to sort out the world and its dangers for themselves. And thankfully, we found some great people to do that.
From what friends have told me, some of the kids have been aged up from how they're described in the books. Robb (Ned's eldest son) is definitely older, Daenerys seems quite a bit older. Are you okay with that? Was it just logistically necessary? Like you can't actually have someone Daenerys' age doing some of the things she has to do in the books?
Yes. It was logistically necessary. It was legally necessary, especially for something that's an international production. We filmed largely in Ireland, but also in Morocco and Malta. Each of those locations has its own laws and regulations that affect actors and age, and it's a largely American show, so that comes into play, too.
But also in some ways, I think it's realistic. I was basing a lot of the book into my research into the real world middle ages. Where they did not have the whole concept of adolescence that we have: this in-between period when you're not quite an adult but not a child. In most medieval cultures, there was childhood and adulthood, and you went from one to the other. There would be some rite of passage ceremony like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah or Catholic confirmation, which they took seriously in 1300, but not as seriously today. In 2011, we have the ceremonies, but we don't believe the person is an adult. But if you go back to Middle Age history, you find people doing things that they just wouldn't do today. You find kings who are 14 or 15 winning battles, squires who are 8 or 9 rushing into battle with the knights and holding their own. And girls, of course, were getting married at similar ages. So I reflected that in the books, but that becomes more difficult when you have to film it. What age are you going to use your actors? There were all these reasons for it then. Generally, I think it works just as well with the actors we chose. Also, we also have much longer lifespans than in the Middle Ages. Ned is in his mid-30s in the book, Sean Bean is, I believe, 51. (Note: Bean turns 52 the day of the series premiere.) But a medieval man in his mid-30s would be in some senses older than Sean Bean is today. He would've had a much harder life. It would have aged him more quickly. I think aging him up makes sense for who the character is supposed to be, and the experiences he's had.
You're still working on the next book, and you have a few more after that. Now that there are actors playing these characters you created, have you found that filtering into your writing of them in the new books?
I think it might happen at some point. In most cases it's not going to happen consciously. A lot of writing takes place in the subconscious, and it's bound to have an effect. The only real effect it's had so far is I feel guilty about some of the things I'm putting some of these characters through. Having met the actors, I think, "Oh, he's such a nice guy, and I'm doing this horrible thing to him." I kill his character, or maim him, or he's going to be tortured for a whole book. And then of course there are the children. It's easy to do things to a fictional character who exists only in your head, but now I know what I write down, one day somebody like Maisie or Sophie or Isaac is going to have to act out. It's bound to have some effect, but I try to distance between the two, and when I'm actually writing at the typewriter, I try to put all those external considerations aside and just live in the world of Westeros.
Our other TV critic, who has read some of the books, and I have had a disagreement about Ned. I say he seems like he might be the character best suited to be ruler of the seven kingdoms, and my friend thinks he would make a bad ruler; that his destiny in life is to be a follower, not a leader. What do you think?
He's been a good lord to the north, which in some ways is like being a king. The seven kingdoms of Westeros are very like England - though it's vastly larger than England, the size of South America. Each of the seven kingdoms was at one time its own kingdom, and the Starks ruled the north long before the kingdoms all came together. It's not a strongly centralized realm, so they pay taxes to the south, provide them with armies. In some senses, he is a king of the north, of his particular seventh of the realm. Would he do well in the Iron Throne, in Robert's seat? I don't know. He's very well qualified in some ways, but in others, he's not very comfortable with the plotting and the scheming and the betrayals.
One of the things I wanted to get at in this whole series - not just talking about Ned now, but all the characters - is what's a cliche of modern fantasy, which is where the underlying assumption seems to be that if a good man becomes king, then the realm will prosper, and a bad king will make the realm suffer. My study of history, and looking around at contemporary politics, has shown me that's not necessarily true. You can have a good man and not be a very good king. It's a question of what decisions you have to make in the challenge of rule. I wanted to bring in almost the meta-fictional commentary about what other fantasy novels do.
That conveniently brings me to my next question. You bring up contemporary politics; are there any parallels to contemporary life in the stories that you're telling?
There's no direct allegory. Tolkien always hated allegory, and people would suggest "Lord of the Rings" was about World War I or World War II, and he always reacted violently to that. He felt contemporary politics had no place in epic fantasy. This is not like a thinly-disguised satire of contemporary politics. That being said, there are certain basic truths, and certain fundamentals that the books do reflect. I am talking about things like power and decision-making, what makes a good ruler, what makes a bad ruler. Those lessons are as applicable to us as they were to the late Roman republic, ancient China, the Mesopotamians. There are some things you can look at and say, "Yes, this is analogous," But it's on a more fundamental level than that.
Finally, I just have to say, as a TV critic who's going to write about the show every week, and who has not once in all his notes on the first six episodes successfully spelled Daenerys' name correctly, I have to ask, George: why? Why would you do this to me? To all of us writing about these books and this show? Why all these odd spellings?
I feel slightly guilty about that. But what I feel much more guilty about is I get all these letters from people who have named their dogs, their cats, and often their children after my characters. There must be at least 100 little girls who have been named Daenerys. By now, many of them must be in kindergarten, first grade, second grade or older. And I really feel sorry for those little girls who have to go to school and constantly tell their teachers and their classmates how to spell their name.
Yes. You should definitely feel worse for them than you do for me.
There were also a few people who named their daughters Cersei, and I wonder what that conversation's going to be like when the girls get older. "Mommy, where did I get my name?" "Well, we named you after a character in a book we loved." "What's that character like?" "Well..."

Cherry Whiskey
where to buy
Our Cherry Whiskey is a two-year-old straight bourbon that we produce in house. After we distill and age it we blend in about a 3% ratio of tart cherry concentrate from Leelanau Fruit Company. Like our regular Bourbon you will pick up notes of tobacco, vanilla and oak and it finishes with a subtle natural cherry flourish. This is an 80 proof whiskey with a smooth cherry finish, not sweet. Great for Manhattans or Whiskey Sours!
* 40% ALC/VOL 750ml Please drink responsibly

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Fort Wayne City and Allen County officials have come to terms on where specific offices will be situated in the Renaissance Square Building.
City Controller Pat Roller says public meeting rooms will be in the basement; city utilities and the county building department will locate on the first floor.
The Board of Health will take up residence on the third floor, while the mayor and county commissioners will set up on the top floor.
Roller says they want to minimize enclosed offices.
Roller says, "That open concept that that building has is very conducive to doing business, and we believe that it'll create more productivity. There's more brainstorming kind of sessions that go on in an open concept."
City-County Building renovations are still being worked out.
Construction on Renaissance will start at the end of next month, with the completion date expected in April 2011.

WTMJ host Jeff Wagner on Talkers' top 100 list
What would Milwaukee radio be like without Mark Belling or Charlie Sykes?
My answer is, quieter. Your answer depends on your political point of view. But despite both conservative talk-show hosts - Sykes, mornings on WTMJ-AM (620); Belling afternoons on WISN-AM (1130) - being locally notorious and having national reputations, neither made Talkers magazine's 2013 list of the 100 "most important radio talk show hosts in America." »Read Full Article(6)

The alcohol industry has hit back at scathing criticism of some of its advertisements, claiming a review by a health-led watchdog has no credibility.
The Australian Association of National Advertisers said the Alcohol Advertising Review Board, set up in March and chaired by WA child health exert Fiona Stanley, was acting as "judge, jury and executioner."
Carlton & United Breweries said the health lobby had failed to recognise that the current review process for alcohol advertising was effective and met with community standards.
The watchdog, set up by Australian health groups to monitor alcohol marketing, condemned 25 advertisements, some linking alcohol with football, fast cars and "calendar babes and said it had received 63 complaints in its first report.
Of the 44 appropriate for review, 25 complaints were upheld, and 17 upheld in part.
Those criticised and recommended for withdrawal included products likely to appeal to young women such as Skinnygirl Cocktails, the Jim Beam on Campus promotion targeting university students, and a "Woodstock Bourbon Calendar Babes" promotion.
Other promotions criticised included Smirnoff Vodka sponsorship of music festivals including Groovin' the Moo.
Professor Fiona Stanley said it was time to name and shame companies that advertised alcohol irresponsibly and particularly to challenge them to promote their products in ways that did not appeal to young people.
"This shows a deeply disturbing range of alcohol advertising and promotion that simply should not be permitted," she said.
Major alcohol industry groups had criticised the board for talking too long to release its first report but McCusker Centre for Action on Alcohol and Youth director Mike Daube said the delays were to resolve issues raised by the groups.
It was also considered appropriate to release the first three months of determinations as a set.

This can be important under conditions when the operator generic cialis online usa plays a supervisory role over automated systems. ERPs and Neuroergonomics ERPs can provide neural measures of the operator's mental state with millisecond temporal resolution and a certain degree of spatial resolution.

For recent volumes that cover all the major methodological issues in ERP research, see Handy (2002) and Luck (2006).

New top too tight fix
3 Attachment(s)
I have been having a hard time with the soft top. It is tighter then a drum and after 3 weeks isnt getting much looser. Getting the top out of the sunrider position by myself has proven impossible and i dont always have a second pair of hands. So this is what I have come up with as a way to help get it on and maybe help stretch the top a bit.
This is a 36 in bar clamp I got from Lowes. I inverted it to make it a spreader and did the following.
I have done it 2x now and it works like a charm pushing the top far enough forward to get the clamp on. I still think this thing is too tight, I shouldnt need to do this but for those struggling this will help.
I did the same thing, except I used a small 6", and instead of "Spreading" I Clamped using the metal loop in the middle of the roof line (The one used for the hard top Clamps) and clamped in the middle of the soft top bar. BE ADVISED: once you get to fit one of the roof levers on it's hook, remove the bar clamp before you close the roof lever, because the bar clamp will lose it's grip and fall on the center console, And if you're lucky like me, it will strike the Navigation screen and scratch it.
The 6" bar clamp fits nicely under my seat. But I don't need it anymore, I can clamp it down by myself now.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that top! thanks for the clamp idea!
Temperature seems to be a biggie.
If you unzip the rear window it can help lessen the tension.
Also, make sure the pins are seated in the tabs over the door - the ones you have to release to completely drop the top. If the pins aren't seated in there you'll have a tough time getting the front hooks secured.
And you do know that the clamps extend if you open then wide - right? If you open them to almost 180* they should reach and will then tighten it down as you close the clamp.
Are you guys disconnecting the tailgate bar and rear soft top corners before you try to clamp the header bar down?
I'm wondering why all the extra mechanical advantage is needed. Shouldn't be so difficult even if it's cold out.
To raise my top;
1.)Flip the entire assembly all the way forward and rest it on the roll bars. (Rear window bar and corners disconnected.)
2.)Stand on door sill and clip the sunrider bars into the bar clamps above doors.
3.)Flip visors down and attach both header bar clamps. (drops right in with sunrider bars clipped in place)
4.)Swing entire top back down toward the tailgate.
5.)Fasten front section of top under the ledge above the doors.
6.)Insert rear tailgate bar at bottom of window into clips. Just grab rear bar above window and pull down if it's too tight.
7.)Pull corners down and slide the retainers under the lip starting at the zippers.
8.)Put in side windows on, zip about a foot then clip in face at back edge of
front doors,complete zip.
9.)Clip bottom edges of windows under lip and smooth out velcro.
Putting the soft top back up takes about 3 minutes total with very little effort.
Taking it down is a little slower.
I like to have neat and even 8" folds that line up on both sides when it's down so it doesn't get all wrinkled up.
Hope this helps. Glad to snap a couple pics if the description isn't clear.
I am opening the clamps all the way and even then they dont quite reach. I am only talking about flipping the top back not completely taking it down. I dont think I should have to take the entire back portion off every time I flip the top back. (although I did that last time and it still wasnt loose enough) I will double check that the pins are seated. But this thing is a pain in the neck to use. So much so that Im not using as much as I should.

Do your clamps look like this?
Something is wrong here. It should be incredibly easy to latch the sunrider because the tension is never taken off the back of the top. Youre doing something wrong.
Bestop sent me longer bows. I'm betting you have the short ones. They will ship new ones for free.
When you open you SunRider top, you should slide the long barrel locks (or whatever they are) above each door, then you should move you visor out of the way and unlatch the two clamps above the windshield. Afterwards you either flip it back yourself or gas it down the street and wait til the wind catches it and flips it over. By doing that you never release an tension on the top because there are these magical little clips that hold the top into place and prevent it from flipping back all the way (picture below of clip).
What could be the reason your top has so much tension on the "CLAMPS" above the "FRONT WINDSHIELD" is because the "CLIPS" above the "DOOR WINDOWS" are not in place. If you have ever taken your top all the way down you would have had to remove these clips and likely forgot to just re-clip them afterwards. Now I did a little bit of research when I was having this problem and found that not everyone actually has these said clips I am referring to. I personally have the "premium top" so this may be a feature of them only.
If you do have the clips above the doors though, what you need to do is fold back the SunRider top and then stand on the door seal, while looking from above you will pull forward on the top until you're able to latch them into place (if it is too tight then disconnect the back window). After that you should be able to fold the SunRider back over and latch with ease.
See that little guy with three ripples on? that is the CLIP above the DOOR WINDOW
I agree something seems wrong. With just the sun rider down there shouldn't be that much tension. I don't have this clips you pictured. Seems like I need to head to the dealer. That is a pita.
Uhm if you dont have those clips then you don't have a sunrider top, or atleast you dont have the upper door frames that go with it, which is what the clips are on. And if you used the sunrider without those clips clipped, it would be essentially impossible to put back up.
If you have the sunrider top frame, you'll have two big plastic slidy things just in front of where those clips are. You slide them and they lock it up, which is how it should be when you put the top all the way down. You slide them the other way and they uncover a hinge that folds the front part in half for the sunrider to work. You also need to accordion the fabric when you do it, and if you do it right it kind of makes a little well where the wind doesnt affect it much...and it wont droop on your head. You also need the back window open if youre going more than about 45. you could rip the top off doing it wrong.
So, let us know what you find. Do you not have the sunrider feature at all, or do you just have the wrong upper door frames?
Wait a second, you do *have* upper door frames, right?
And uhfive, you must be short. If i ever tried "gassing it down the street" to open the sunrider, the fabric would cover my face....
I have the same problem with my factory Premium top, although not nearly as bad now that it has stretched some (after about a week). It seams to be just an incredibly taught fit. On my first attempt when it was new, it took all my strength to pull the the middle cross-bar (bow?) forward enough to allow my GF to hook the clamps. I had to put the rear corners in FIRST otherwise there was going to be NO WAY for me to pull them down the 4 or so inches short they started out as.
It has gotten better with time and temperature, but I still cannot get the tailgate bar to rotate to the completely latched position...
:dance:HI, JUST leave the top up and turn the a/c on, problem solved!!:popcorn:
I just love this site. '' LIFE IS GOOD'':wavey:

Added some. I feel bullish about this company's prospects. We shall see....
I sense a little too much euphoria, sold 40% of position yesterday. Recouped original investment from a few years ago in full. Stock has blindsided me and other investors in the past.
Curious about the blind-siding, since I'm new to NBIX. What happened in the past? Same management team?
You have a point. It's pulled back and been listless. Not very strong going into earnings, but most news is priced in I would think. Let's see how she closes today.

Grants - Cost Share
CDRC follows Federal and OHSU cost sharing guidelines. Cost Sharing is a portion of the costs of a project not borne by the sponsor, for example, when a department shares the costs of funding the project.
There are several types of Cost Share, including:
- Mandatory, which is legally binding and required by Funder
- Voluntary, which is not required by the Funder but becomes legally binding once application is submitted to Funder.
Cost share match can be based on several methods, including:
- Effort (e.g. 5% of a person's effort)
- Percentage of total project costs (e.g. 1% of total project costs)
- PI determines if Funder requires Mandatory Cost Share and checks appropriate box on PPQ
- PI determines if there is need for Voluntary Cost Share and informs GCO
- PI completes the Cost Share Agreement Form and obtains appropriate signatures. If cost share is to be borne by non-CDRC departments, PI obtains appropriate departmental signatures
- PI provides to GCO Cost Share details to be included in budget
- PI provides completed and signed form to GCO with PPQ and draft budget
- If funded, PI monitors Cost Share requirement to ensure the requirement will be met by the end of the budget period.
- All Committed Cost Shares' are reflected in Effort commitment and the Effort Certification Statements

Mock Riot Wraps Up Its 18th Year
MOUNDSVILLE – As the 18th Annual Mock Prison Riot wrapped up Wednesday at the former West Virginia Penitentiary, officials said it was yet another successful year for the event.
Corrections teams spent the day participating in various training scenarios, which ranged from controlling prisoner riots in enclosed spaces in the prison to field scenarios of small disturbances in the prison's north yard. Participants also were able to test out new corrections technology in several product demonstrations held around the prison, peruse the exhibition hall for new equipment and attend workshops.
Sgt. Joel Ashe of the Orange County Corrections Department in Florida said his team has participated in the riot for the past nine years. He said the event is the only one he knows of with training scenarios geared toward corrections officers, and the skills competition and the ability to test out new technologies are a big draw for his teams.
"The technology out there that we see every year, they let us use it," Ashe said. "They let us use it in a scenario. So it's fun to come up here and see this stuff and go 'Hey, can I use this?' That's a very big draw for us."
Ashe said he is happy officers are able to use the entire grounds of the prison to try out new equipment and train for different scenarios. He said he is also impressed officers can be trained and certified for new equipment at the event classes for free and bring those skills back to their departments at home.
"You can sit in a classroom and show a video, but to actually come up here and be hands-on, that's the training you get here," Ashe said. "When you come up here and see other teams and other tactics, you learn from each other."
Maj. Ronnie Williams, West Virginia Division of Corrections chief of special operations, said attendance at the event is up from last year from about 780 last year to 1,100 participants at this year's event, with teams from 32 states and 13 countries.
"Everything went great," Williams said. "It's grown every year, so we're happy about that. It's been really active, so it's been a great show so far."
Williams said the riot has added some new technology this year including a drone demonstration from DroneShield LLC and new ammunition and protective equipment used in several scenarios.
The riot had a skills competitions earlier this week on the event's obstacle course, in which the Michigan Division of Corrections team won first place overall for the second year in a row.
Williams said the event organizers are looking forward to next year's riot, set for May 3-6, and hope the event continues to grow in participation from both corrections teams and technology vendors.

Denver's highest home has well-grounded yard art gallery: Kenny Be's Yard Arteology
Figure 75a. West Highland: Step right up to see the yard art show.
The middle building pictured above is not the tallest home in Denver, but it sits at the highest elevation in the city. It's located in a West Highland neighborhood that is being overtaken by pop-tops and scrape-offs that reach ever-upward for the view of the Rampart and Central Front Ranges to the south...
The expansive graveled garden terraces suggest that this is the home of a well-grounded neighbor and not the real estate investment of a social climber. The placement of eco-art, with plenty of room to grow, intimates that the yard artist who lives here is more a curator than a creator. Let's take a tour!
Figure 75b. West Highland: Rust never sleeps, it skoots.
The yard art gallery pictured above specializes in the exhibition of eco-art, where rusting metal objects are fashioned into flowers and figures. The well-spaced placement hints that the occupants of this home are open-minded and treat all people with equality. The great flourish of the hair on the moving figure (stepping onto a scooter) intimates that one of the home's occupants may have made a living by cutting hair on Tennyson Street since 1958.
Page down to see the additional yard artifacts that corroborate this theory...

The knife sharpening wheel in the foreground of the photograph above is the only rusting metal yard artifact that has not been recrafted into an arty animal or oxidizing daisy and implies that the yard artist still reveres the instrument for what it does. That the sharpening wheel has not been made to look like a show poodle at the Westminster Dog Show insinuates a deep respect and gratitude for its many years of perfectly sharpening straight razors for a trusted barber.
As seen below, the other machinery parts in this yard art gallery are forced into a second life of indentured whimsitude...
Figure 75d. West Highland: Post-modern yard art cart.
It is the weathered wooden posts in the center of the photo above that prove that the rusting wheels were never really the parts of a cute little cart. The flattened rims imply that these wheels were industrial belt pulleys. That the cheeks of the rear wheels are still fastened to the wooden posts suggests that the fastening bolts are rusted tight. The repurposing of these wheels onto a rusting wagon hints that this yard artist may be nostalgic for a time when industry was beautiful and men were neatly trimmed.

Rashid Polo, Righteous Young Crusader Against Storekeepers Who Don't Like Being Robbed
The bizarre moral inversion implicit in progressivism has become so engrained in our culture, people hardly even notice it anymore. Here's an example:
Footage of shop workers following a black teenager because they 'presume he's stealing' have become a viral sensation after being shared more [than] 20,000 times.
The two videos posted on Vine by Rashid Polo show him walking around convenience stores with 'racist' employees behind keeping a close eye on his movements.
During the clips, they appear to check the shelf Rashid has just browsed, making sure everything is still there.
But when he pans the camera and catches the employees, they quickly change their tact and act as if they are simply straightening Dorito bags, flipping hot dogs or rearranging displays.
Some of them are seen running off and hiding behind the shelves to avoid suspicion.
That is, to avoid being suspected of trying to prevent shoplifting in their stores.
But their furtiveness proved useless. Now they have been exposed to the world as thought criminals.
Rashid decided to record the shopping experiences after employees repeatedly trailed him.
With his second video, he posted a message saying: 'It happened again… this time I'm not even mad… I'm used to it now.'
It's too bad that Rashid isn't mad. He should be furious – not at storekeepers for trying to protect their livelihood, but at the thieves who have given his race a bad name with a parasitical entitlement mentality according to which they have a right to steal other people's property.
The entitlement mentality goes beyond the thievery that makes life so difficult for storekeepers. Not only are certain people supposedly entitled to steal to make up for historical injustice or whatever, the owners of the property are not allowed to notice who is doing it, much less object. They are supposed to sit frozen in terror of being denounced as "racists" as young hoodlums rob them blind.
From the liberal point of view, when storekeepers surreptitiously keep an eye on someone who is acting suspicious and looks similar to people who steal from them on a regular basis, it is done out of pure racial malice. But if the point were to hurt anyone's feelings, why would they be secretive about it?

Most Helpful
This was a really wonderful chicken soup with a distinct Mexican flair to it. Even my kids (who don't normally like spicy dishes) enjoyed this soup. I just had to go a little light on the cumin, to suit their tender taste buds. Thank you, Indiana Debbie. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

Q & A Library
Indole-3: A Broccoli Cure?My doctor has recommended taking Indole-3 carbinol in 200 mg capsules. What are the pros and cons of this supplement?
Answer (Published 9/15/2006)
Indole-3 carbinol (I3C) is a compound that occurs naturally in broccoli, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables including Brussels sprouts, turnips, kale, cauliflower, and watercress. Some research in animals has shown that I3C inhibits the development of cancers of the breast, stomach, colon, lung and liver. If I3C works as well in humans as it does in animals, it could prove a useful adjunct to cancer treatment. However, laboratory studies have also found that I3C can actually promote cancer development in rats, so we're a long way from understanding its benefits and risks.

Start your 14-day free trial now - and start eating anti-inflammatory today!
So far, studies in humans suggest that taken orally, I3C can stop and even reverse precancerous changes in the cervix. More studies are needed to confirm this effect. Research into whether I3C can affect estrogen metabolism and activity and thus prevent estrogen-sensitive breast cancer suggests it has a benefit, but, again, more studies are needed to confirm it.
Population studies have shown that people who eat a lot of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have lower rates of cancer than those who don't. Unfortunately, we don't yet know what constituents of these vegetables are responsible for the protective effect. It may be I3C, the carotenoid pigments, vitamin C, or sulforaphane, a compound thought to suppress tumors. Or the cancer-protective effects may be due to two or more of these components acting together.
Until we have more information on the benefits of taking I3C as a dietary supplement, my recommendation for most women is to eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, which will give you many proven cancer-fighting compounds, all in affordable and tasty forms. For women with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer (or at high risk for it) who cannot tolerate large amounts of broccoli and its relatives, taking supplemental I3C may be a good idea.
