High School Freshman Confounds Researchers, Invents New Pancreatic Cancer Test

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
15-year-old nabs $100,000 top prize in Intel-sponsored competition; his "dipstick" test is 90 percent accurate
Jack Andraka. Andraka.
"Keep that last name in mind. You're going to read about him a lot in the years to come. What I tell my lab is, 'Think of Thomas Edison and the light bulb.' This kid is the Edison of our times. There are going to be a lot of light bulbs coming from him."
Those are
bold words
, bolder still given that their source is one of the top medical researchers in the nation. But
Dr. Anirban Maitra
, a pathology professor at
Johns Hopkins University
firmly believes what he says.
I. HS Freshman Invents Test That's 100x as Sensitive
The invention is incredible. A "dipstick" style sensor, it is 90 percent accurate at testing for pancreatic cancer in blood samples. It's also being considered as a prime candidate for testing for other diseases.
When it comes to pancreatic cancer timing is crucial. Late detection or refusal to seek treatment can be deadly. Indeed, this same cancer took a great toll on tech luminary and Apple, Inc. (
) founder Steven P. Jobs, first
claiming his liver
with its complications, and
later his life
Incredibly, Mr. Andraka, a mere boy at 15, claims to have come up with the underlying idea for his method at just 3 years old, when he found that by dropping objects into a flowing river, he could test the current. Encouraged by his parents -- a civil engineer (his father) and an anesthetist (his mother) -- and their small library of science magazines, the spark grew in the young man's mind.

That spark grew into the fire of a bold idea, after Mr. Andraka emailed 200 Johns Hopkins professors,
University of Maryland
professors, and officials at the
National Institutes of Health
, trying to get somebody to let him use their lab to create a dipstick test for disease.
Most faculty members expressed little interest. But after about 200 emails, Dr. Maitra received a message from the boy and was intrigued. Months later they had a sensor that was an estimated 100 times more accurate than current tests, dozens of times faster, but critically much less expensive at only 3 cents per test.
Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease and early detection is critical.
[Image Source: About Cancer]
The test measures the level of mesothelin, a protein whose typically low levels spike in the bloodstream in individuals with early stages of pancreatic cancer. Soon the test may be deployed "in the wild" saving many lives.
II. Honored For Excellence
For that amazing innovation a much deserving Mr. Andraka received the nod at the recent
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
(ISEF), winning the top $75,000 USD prize sponsored by Intel Corp. (
The young "Tony Stark" is only in high school at North County HS, a Baltimore, Maryland area school, but he is about to have a rare honor most high school students could only dream of -- speaking to the U.S. Congress. He will deliver a talk next month as part of the
Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Day
He comments, "It's been my childhood dream to go to ISEF, and I never thought I would go onto that stage as the Gordon E. Moore Award winner. This was a big accomplishment for me. It fulfilled my biggest and wildest dreams. But also, it means that I can actually get the word out about this deadly disease and this new test that I use to detect it."
While the freshman may be living an unusual life, he is a typical young man in at least one way -- he's fiercely competitive with his older brother, Luke. Luke is also a ISEF winner, taking home $96,000 USD in 2010 for his work on how acid mine drainage affected the environment.
Jack and his brother Luke are both Intel Science Fair winners. [Image Source: Hot Hardware]
Luke and Jack are testement to what natural talent, solid parenting, and a school that gives its excelling students flexibility to explore independent studies, can do. Both young men look to have bright futures as inventors and entrepeneurs.

I am painting my 03' X-type Triple Black (PPG Single Stage DCC-9300). I am used to production work where you west-sand/buff the next day. For a show car finish should I wait a couple day to buff or as soon as possible?
i heard you have to wait 90 to 120 days for the paint to really set.
before u rev em up, shine em up!
me personally I like to do it the next day, that way paint is still soft and manageable, you dont have to sand as much or as hard, remember always start with 3000 just to make sure surface is clean and your more able to see what your going after.
Have you ever shot this paint system before? Usually you can choose the reduce you're going to mix the paint with and affect how fast or slow the paint sets-up. Even if you go with a slow reduce you should be able to start sanding one or two days after spraying.
Just like any project, test a small section with something like #1500 or #2000 grit sanding paper, (of course we recommend Nikken ), if you start with #1500 grit, re-sand this test section with #2000 to reduce the depth of your sanding marks. Sand till orange peel is removed and the surface is flat and then test a combination of pads and chemicals to see which combination removes the sanding marks the best. Once you have a system of papers and pads and compounds that works for you on this paint system in this test section, then simply cookie-cutter, (duplicate), this process over the entire finish. You might even consider our new Solo System.
Usually the longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove your sanding marks, so a a general rule the sooner you can sand and buff the easier it will be to remove your sanding marks and you'll be able to finish the entire job faster.

I've never heard of starting with #3000 grit to make sure the surface is clean? Meguiar's always teaches the philosophy of using the least aggressive product to get the job done, and there's a place for the very fine grit sanding, or finishing papers, but #3000 grit is so fine it hardly makes a dent to start with it.

"Find something you like and use it often"
Whats too long to wait? I'm sure it varies with paint type. So, assume ppg 2k like Omni.
Next day. Also if you havnt painted it yet, Id give it two coats of clear. I dont know alot about single stage paint but I know a couple coats of clear will help protect it
1998 Camaro-Tangerine Candy with Silver stripes
Ive got the same question for Acrylic Lacquer paint. Ive just painted my car Pacific Blue Pearl and its got two coats of Standox clear on it.
Its been painted for two days now (days have been sunny and warm 25c) and unless im wrong, im going to sand it today using a flexible block with Wet & Dry 2000 with no soap or detergent in the water followed by medium cutting compound using a Makita variable speed buffer on medium speed thats not orbitable.
Is this ok or should i change something. Finnish is very slightly rough to the touch at the moment after a blending coat. Ill wait an hour or two for a answer, then go ahead with the blocking and come back again for another thread check.
I heard you have to wait a month to a month and a half. Not sure but the paint has to cure for a long time.
You're thinking about waxing, this discussion is geared more toward the wet sand, cut & buff to remove orange peel, etc from a fresh paint job.
Even if you take your car to a body shop that tells you to wait X amount of time to touch the paint, they've already put a buffer to it if for no other reason to bring the shine up. Or to instill holograms just to tick you off.

Birthday Boy
My favorite part of Christmas
It's been a busy few days and not just because of the holidays. We were watching our neighbors' pooch for a few days. He is such a good boy and the girls had a blast walking him. Why is it that they were fighting over who could walk him but they never volunteer to walk our dogs? Christmas involved cooking (hubby and my mom), going out with grandma and hubby's aunt and cleaning lots of wrapping paper.
My favorite part of Christmas is Christmas Eve – always has been and I'd wager always will be. It's the big night in Germany – Heiligabend – we usually never saw the tree before that night and the magic of seeing the tree for the first time combined with the excitement over getting presents – Bescherung – never got old.
We continue this tradition with our own kids and Christmas Eve is always reserved for time with my mom and presents that the "German" Santa dropped off early at her house. This year we also had a traditional Christmas meal of roasted goose, with potato dumplings, red cabbage, stuffing and gravy.
The kids barely eat anything because they are too excited to open presents. They know that as soon as dinner is done and the table is cleared; they'll get to tear into the mountain of presents under the tree.
As usual, my mom Santa didn't disappoint and there were a lot of squeals and happy faces. And for once I didn't have to spend two hours building any of the toys!!! (The boy built his own.)
And after all the presents are opened, the wrapping paper and kitchen cleaned up, it's time for everyone to relax and put up their feet. And try out the new toys!!!
And then, the tree is waiting for more presents from Santa… but not until all the kids are in bed and fast asleep. Well, at least the littlest one… The other two are my helper elves now!
Linking up with MyTimeasMom and MamaTrack for Essence of Now!

2. I used to be a waitress in my parents restaurant when we first came to the US.
3. When I get up in the morning, I first walk the dogs and then have my first cup of coffee.
4. My greatest fear is losing one of my children. My heart hurts just thinking about it.
The Aftermath {Wordless Wednesday}
My kiddos made out pretty good once again. Guess, Santa thought they were more nice than naughty this past year!!! 😉

BRIEF-PhaseRx reports Q4 loss per share of $0.30
* PhaseRx reports fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results and provides corporate update
* Efron comedy "17 Again" takes in $24.1 million
* Russell Crowe thriller "State of Play" overshadowed
* "Crank: High Voltage" disappoints at box office (Recasts, adds quotes)
LOS ANGELES, April 19 "High School Musical" heartthrob Zac Efron graduated to the big leagues at the North American box office on Sunday as his new comedy crushed a weighty thriller starring Russell Crowe.
"17 Again," in which Efron plays a dispirited 37-year-old family man who gets to relive his glory days at high school, earned a better-than-expected $24.1 million, distributor Warner Bros. said.
Crowe's "State of Play" opened at No. 2 with $14.1 million, but managed to exceed the modest expectations of its distributor, Universal Pictures.
Last weekend's champion, "Hannah Montana: The Movie," fell to No. 4 with $12.7 million, taking the 10-day haul for Walt Disney Co's (DIS.N) Miley Cyrus vehicle to $56.1 million.
Just ahead of it, the family cartoon "Monsters vs. Aliens" held steady at No. 3 with $12.9 million. After four weekends, the DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc DWA.O production has earned $162.7 million, making it the biggest movie of the year so far.
Also new was "Crank: High Voltage," a sequel starring British actor Jason Statham. It opened at No. 6 with $6.5 million. Pundits had expected the thriller to do better than "State of Play."
While "17 Again" is the latest in a long line of body-switch comedies including such hits as "Big" and "Freaky Friday," its producers had their cake and ate it too by poking fun at the genre.
"I don't think we tried to play the earnest version," said producer Jennifer Gibgot, who originated the project after working with Efron in "Hairspray."
Critics were generally kind to the picture, which also stars "Friends" veteran Matthew Perry as the adult version of Efron, and Leslie Mann as his wife.
Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc (TWX.N), said it had been hoping for an opening in the low $20 million range, and was heartened by preliminary data showing that the PG-13 movie was playing to a wider audience than the 9-to-12-year-old tweens who made Efron a star in the "High School Musical" franchise.
Gibgot said her goal was to show that Efron, 21, could be a leading man. She envisaged future roles for him in smart thrillers or the sort of movies that made Michael J. Fox a star, like the "Back to the Future" series.
"State of Play," on the other hand, was dogged by the same challenges that have befallen other adult-oriented thrillers, such as "Michael Clayton" and "Duplicity." Older audiences generally don't flock to the cinemas on opening weekends, and may wait for the DVD.
"Adult films don't rock the box office," said Nikki Rocco, president of domestic distribution at Universal, a unit of General Electric Co's (GE.N) NBC Universal.
But she said "State of Play" was off to a solid start, and she hoped it would hold up well over the next few weekends.
The $60 million movie, based on a BBC miniseries, stars Crowe as a grizzled reporter who investigates a political conspiracy. The cast is rounded out by fellow Oscar-winner Helen Mirren as his editor and Ben Affleck as a politician. Critics were effusive in their praise.
"Crank: High Voltage," which did not screen in advance for critics, was released by Lionsgate, a unit of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp LGF.N. A spokesman was not immediately available for comment. The first film, "Crank," opened to $10.5 million in 2006 and ended up with $28 million.
Overall sales rose for the fourth consecutive year, when compared to the year-ago weekend, according to tracking firm Media By Numbers. Year-to-date sales are up 17 percent at $2.9 billion, placing the industry on a firm footing ahead of the summer movie-going period. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" kicks off the lucrative season on May 1. (Editing by Eric Beech)

This comic makes me giggle hysterically.
I still cannot find a proper translation of the word "Mysko."
in Polish: 'my little mouse'
I love the expression on the doctor's face in the last panel.
And how do you pronounce "Myszko" anyway?
M like in 'mouse'
Y like in 'gym'
SH like in 'shade'
K like in 'cat'
O like in 'pot'
So… Hanna had a broken comedic prop bone?
"Greatest life ever"
Love that panel.
its spelled deus ex machina, with an a on the end not an e. its latin
I think what Hannah was getting at is that she's capable of Deus Ex Machinas at will, and is effectively a Deus Ex Machine.
Friggin awesome line. I may use that in real life, should God ever intervene in my day-to-day life.
yeah that's the point. it was PUNNY.
Plus, it sounds a little like "sex machine"
Finally, a villain who is dealt with swiftly and effectively 😀

I look beyond their function, they are more than that for me. It's not a case of putting on a pair of trainers and ending up with sweaty or smelly feet any more. The fact that they were originally made for sports can only be a good thing, as the people who make them are employed to design shoes that look after our feet.
You've got to remember that in these days of increased leisure, the streets are our football pitches and the nightclubs are our playing fields - that's where we get our exercise. Some of them may be expensive but you've got to look at the technology that's gone into them. If people are prepared to pay hundreds of pounds for a pair of Mark One Jordans by Nike, fair play. I don't own a pair and I wouldn't, but I can understand why people do.
People knock trainers for being scruffy, but black or brown shoes can look equally sloppy, it depends how you wear them. Yes, there may be some ugly trainers, but it's like every development, you've got the good and the bad. How could you describe the Adidas Superstar as ugly? It's your first real, basic trainer, straight off the basketball court on to the streets and into fashion. Trainers are popular because they are extremely comfortable, they give you basic functionability, they're trendy, and they go with anything. They're here to stay, trainers are where modern culture has gone, like it or not."
Adam Halford is manager of Arc, 59 Oldham Street, Manchester. Menswear/FHM Magazine Streetwear Retailer of the Year 1998
"Training shoes are an incivility to which we should apply zero tolerance. The very earliest Adidas and so on were, I admit, completely inoffensive objects which you might imagine wearing for the purpose described. Now, however, they have graduated from being modest, cheap, function-oriented footwear to become major statements for people who are not training and are not (on the whole) sporty, athletic human beings. On the part of Nike, they're an extreme form of imperialism - `Just Do It!' Just do what? What about other people who might not want you to do `It', whatever it may be. This is a bit of American psychobabble used in a most unpleasant way. Trainers are part of the business of MTV culture. they go with sloppy thinking and sloppy talk - you wouldn't expect good conversation from trainer-land.
Although they are made out of hi-tech materials, and in ways involving new technologies, they also have a strong sweatshop element. And, as environmental campaigners have revealed, they often have very high levels of CFCs and other nasties. I realise there are those who think the trainer is a major art form de nos jours, and while I'm sure that they are highly collectable, to me they're simply inaesthetic objects. The more high-technology they are (not that this is very high), the more hideous they are. They go with horrible clothes (and graffiti) and make good clothes look bad. Trainer- wearing is remarkably homogeneous, remarkably conformist and has that permanent-adolescence thing about it. In smart London now, there's a sharp, stylised, formal way of dressing and trainers don't belong in that. They're just an uncouth statement and don't fit in, I'm glad to say."

I haven't heard these speakers, and don't wish to dispute any of Larry Greenhill's findings - but feel uncomfortable with his unqualified conclusion that they will have the same positive effects in other systems that he heard in his own. Surely the Quad full-range electrostatics, more than any other speaker that springs immediately to mind, stand to benefit from a decent sub; both from the bass reinforcement (addressing its one acknowledged weakness), and also by removing problemmatic low frequencies from the main panel - really quite a unique situation, when the vast majority of commercial speakers already use multiple drivers. I just think that the effect of these subs with other, more representative, speakers should've been tried to justify such a glowing and general recommendation. Perhaps grounds for a follow-up?

"It's Thursday, what are you all doing here?" Local Natives singer Taylor Rice asked an ecstatic early bird crowd at Bonnaroo midway through the band's 7 p.m. performance. Cars were still backed up down the Tennessee highway, but with sets from the Natives, the Dodos and Neon Indian, Thursday was anything but a calm before the storm. Opening night traditionally gives fans a peek at who might be rocking more prominent slots next year — in '09, Zac Brown Band played "Chicken Fried" Thursday night. This year the country rockers will take the headlining stage on the fest's closing night.
Check out photos of Bonnaroo's hottest sets.
Local Natives drew a massive audience for their gorgeous three-part harmonies and fuzzed-out instrumental outbursts. The joyous "Camera Talk" off last year's Gorilla Manor proved an early highlight with its explosive Afro-pop chorus. The L.A. group certainly emphasized rhythm, busting into the alarming dance beat of the Talking Heads' "Warning Sign." On "Sun Hands" bassist Andy Hamm grabbed a pair of sticks and began thrashing away on the drum kit. (Check out a bit of the band's set in the video below).
Read our report on the rest of Day One's hottest sets: the xx, Blitzen Trapper and more.
Neon Indian's epic 9 p.m. set felt like a spaceship dance party. (Watch our video interview with frontman Alan Palomo above.) Palomo sporting uncontrollably curly hair and leather jacket, hunched over his laptop and keyboard rig, tinkering with psychedelic wah-wah sounds and busting tripped-out glo-fi jams from Psychic Chasms, like their LSD-laced jam groove "Should Have Taken Acid With You." Palomo said he had been at the festival a year ago, and smiled while he proclaimed, "Now we're playing in front of you."
On the cheerful groove "Terminally Chill," a glowstick bonanza ensued as Palomo grabbed the mike and busted out jerky soul moves and stunning keyboardist Leanne Macomber rocked out in fishnets and a short skirt. The crowd grooved, and as beach balls flew overhead, lasers cut through the air, giving the orbs a radioactive glow. Toward the end of Neon Indian's set, the band broke into their irresistible summer jam "Deadbeat Summer," with its distorted guitar topping a slamming dance beat. Four bodypainted young girls took the stage during the first verse, wearing nothing but underwear and Indian headdresses. They grinded and did their best hand-on-mouth Indian impressions, making the stunt feel like an unnecessary Girls Gone Wild cameo.
Festivals are a great place to check out what a stadium-worthy sound rig can do for club acts, and the Dodos took full advantage of Bonnaroo's soundsystem during their set, a thrilling combination of blues and indie rock. On tracks like the delta stomp "Paint the Rust" off last year's excellent The Visitor, frontman Meric Long played explosive finger-picked solos on a vintage hollow body guitar that looked like could have come from Jack White's garage. With some tracks featuring two drummers, the set felt thunderous, but the Dodos also took it down a notch for the mellow pop of "Fables" off newest disc Time to Die. But the band's indie hooks felt like they were going to collapse into White Stripes-style fuzz freakout, and they often did, to glorious effect.
Keep up with all of Rolling Stone's 2010 Bonnaroo coverage here.

Floor Plan | Photo Gallery
The New American Home 2010 (TNAH) was shaping up to be a model of style, grace and technological innovation, built to the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard and the Department of Energy's ENERGY STAR® program. That was before the home got caught up in the credit crisis that has hammered the home building industry across the country.
As a result of tight credit and a soft market for high-end homes in Las Vegas, The New American Home 2010 was not completed in time for tours during the International Builders' Show . But as always, the showcase home included some of the most interesting and innovative new products on the market.
Sold at auction after foreclosure, the new owner finished the project to the previous specifications and the home was completed in time for the Las Vegas Parade of Homes later that year.
NAHB prepared a virtual tour for IBS attendees called "Vision 2010: The New American Home." Click on the videos below to watch:

Butter Baked Cod
We are great fans of fish in this house, especially haddock and cod. It goes without saying that we only buy and eat fish that is responsibly sourced and caught.
We do also occasionally eat salmon and tuna and Todd loves mackeral. Me, I'm not such a fan of mackeral. I've never been overly fond of strong flavoured fish. Call me squeamish.
This is an excellent way to prepare Cod. This dish is also called Poor Man's Lobster, although to be sure anyone who calls it that today has certainly not taken into account the price of Cod these days!
It's a simple dish with simple ingredients. There is no faff here, or anything fancy. Easy and simple and oh so very delicious.
I'll tell you now that I only use half the amount of butter that the recipe requires, and we don't dip it into butter when we are eating it either. Our cholesterol levels do not allow for that. It is delicious regardless.
Of course, if you are not bothered, by all means do use the full amount of butter. If it is as delicious as it is with half the amount, I can only imagine how very tasty it is with the full amount! Recipe taken from The Best Casserole Book Ever, by Beatrice Ojakangas. (Lots of scrumminess in that book!)
*Butter Baked Cod*
Serves 4
Printable Recipe
Delicously tender and moist. Fish at it's best.
1 1/2 pounds fresh cod fillets
8 ounces of butter, melted (1 cup)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp of ground paprika
Chopped fresh parsley
Sliced lemon to serve
Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5.
Place the fish in a shallow casserole dish. Pour half of the melted butter over the fillets. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Place into the heated oven and bake, uncovered, basting occasionally, until the fish flakes with a fork. This will take 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve, garnished with some parsley and some sliced lemon. Pass the remaining melted butter for dipping
13 comments:
This recipe is so heavenly good.
Like you I only use 1 stick of butter. I put it all on the fish, in addition to some chopped shallots and red pepper, and let it marinate overnight. Not that this is necessary though. I ADORE this dish. I also choose to season the butter itself instead the fish which allows me to taste it and adjust the amounts. I also added maybe 2 chopped garlic. The sauce that comes of of the prepared dish with the butter, fish flavor, garlic, and all is divine. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! RegineHi Marie, I'm not sure if my comment went through, (I got an error message). I wanted to let you know that that I bought Cod Tenderloins for dinner tonight. I googled it to see the best way to cook them. I arrived at your doorstep :) I chose this recipe due to my picky eaters. This was so delicious and my husband just raved about it! I can't wait to try your other recipes. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteChristina, thank you so very much for letting me know how much you enjoyed this dish. I think it's pretty special myself and I am glad your family does too! I hope you do get a chance to try some other recipes. That always makes me happy when people try them out love them like I do! I am sorry about the comment thing. I had to put restrictions on comments on posts more than a week old as there were some nasty foreign people dropping links on my posts via the comments section all the time. I was forever having to spend time taking them off!!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my 10th time making this recipe since I found it on Pinterest. It's cooking right now and my whole family can't get enough, even our 6 year old boy! I usually use cod loins so I just cook a bit longer to make up for the thickness difference. Thank you for sharing this as it has become a family staple recipe in this house. Oh and also since I pinned this on Pinterest, it's the most re-pinned of all the recipes I've saved with new people pinning it every day. Again thank you, must check out more recipes here.

If This Ain't It
David Finkle • New York City • Jan 10, 2010
What's doubly confusing about the piece is that the press material states that the work concerns "what happens when a theater company that has lost its funding and its home joins forces with a homeless transsexual Lady Liberty (played by Michael Lynch), who helps the colorful characters in the troupe round up an audience for their performance in a bid for publicity and a new home for their work." It's true that Lady Liberty leads the waiting-in-the-lobby audience to the Theater for a New City's downstairs cabaret space, but nothing that fits the rest of the above description is made manifest.
Instead, the action begins when Lady Liberty, gussied up in an army-green muu-muu, sings "Honey, Honey" about "hard times." What follows includes gossipy Selma Russo (played by co-author Camille Tibaldeo), delivering several lame local news-station stories, and the ensemble singing over 15 of Don Arrington's songs, with titles like "Cardboard Box" (about the strain of living in one), "Rats in the Room" (where four puppet rats appear and wiggle) and "Starving But Dancing."
Sadly, Arrington's melodies -- played by a hard-working four-member band -- are quickly forgettable and his lyrics simply aren't on the witty and darkly memorable level of Berlin and Rome. True, some of them would probably be more memorable if they could actually be heard over the uncooperative sound system.
Meanwhile, the ensemble behaves as if they were in a community theater production. In a sense they are, since Arrington's main focus is on the difficult lives led by denizens of Manhattan's Lower East Side, which is where the theater is located. Still, they ain't got what it takes to make this severely flawed show worth watching.

Orange is achieved in two ways: one is very strong apricot (these open cream first and abruptly go orange overnight). This is always derived from B. versicolor. The other is by yellow or orange carotene pigments (from B. aurea and possibly B. suaveolens). These open yellow and darken more gradually. Interesting ...

UPDATE: Miller Tabak Raises PT to $42 on Brinker International on Positive Investor Day Tone
Miller Tabak maintained Brinker International (NYSE: EAT) with a Buy rating and raised the price target from $41.00 to $42.00.
Miller Tabak noted, "We maintain our Buy rating on Brinker International (EAT) and raise our price target to $42 (from $41) after a mostly upbeat investor day conference at the company's headquarters in Dallas. EAT set a mostly positive tone at yesterday's conference, outlining the progress the company has made in the past three years and establishing an ambitious plan to double EPS by FY17. We argue given the progress management has made in reviving the Chili's brand while strengthening financial metrics, this long-term goal can be achieved."
Brinker International closed at $33.51 on Wednesday.

Deallocate an iofunc Open Control Block's memory
#include <sys/iofunc.h> void iofunc_ocb_free( iofunc_ocb_t * ocb );
BlackBerry 10.0.0
- ocb
- A pointer to the iofunc_ocb_t structure for the Open Control Block that was created when the client opened the resource.
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The iofunc_ocb_free() function returns the memory allocated to an iofunc OCB to the free store pool. This function is the complement of iofunc_ocb_calloc().
If you've overridden the definition of iofunc_ocb_calloc(), you should also override the definition of iofunc_ocb_free() to correctly handle the release of the memory. This is because the iofunc_ocb_calloc() functions uses an internal memory management function to allocate the memory, and the default iofunc_ocb_free() function also uses this internal function to deallocate memory. Therefore, you can't mix internal memory management functions (_scalloc() and _sfree()) with user-level memory management functions (calloc() and free()).
You should fill in the attribute's mount structure (i.e. the attr->mount pointer) instead of replacing this function.
If you specify iofunc_ocb_free() and iofunc_ocb_calloc() callouts in the attribute's mount structure, then you should use the callouts instead of calling the standard iofunc_ocb_free() and iofunc_ocb_calloc() functions.
See iofunc_ocb_calloc().

Sick. I rode Zippity last week. As for the double Eddie's talking about . . . I think it's possible.
Would need some hella speed going in. I've never seen anyone attempt it, but wouldn't be suprised if Ross Schnell nails it everytime.
Nothing like some Iron Maiden and buff singletrack on a Friday morning! What I really want to see is a vid of someone hitting that big double at 3:27. I always forget the line and end up rolling it.

Congrats!! I love these new TC's! I'm trying to convince my loving bride that when we replace the Expy, we do it with a nice Transit Connect. :-X22
what is the seating like? How about mpg's?
Seats much nicer, whole interior is much nicer. Even though it's made in Spain they have taken the "foreign" out of it giving it more "American" comforts.
MPG's right now, two weeks and 2300 miles out average 24.5 with 75% highway travel. I believe in breaking them in like you're going to drive them so past 500 I've shown it no mercy. The "S" Sport setting and push button shifts are fun. :-D |

An Amateur Tries Ghost Flames
I'm brand new to this forum, so if I seem dumb....Iyam.
Anyway, gonna try my hand at ghost flames on my newest project. First custom. Usually do original restos. Been painting 20 years as an amateur. Mostly solid two stage stuff, but did an R90S Beemer in 3 stage Daytona Orange that turns heads, so maybe I'm ready for flames....I dunno. Worth a try. Here's what I was thinking and maybe you guys can steer me in a better direction if it sounds goofy: This is a House of Color system. Silver base coat. Tape on the flames and mask all but the flames. Pearl mixed with clear (1 Tblspoon/qt) heavy on the 'licks' and faded to no pearl at the front. Remove all tape and masking. Red Brandywine candy over the whole enchilada. What I want is a really subtle flame so they are not obvious at first glance. Will this do the trick? Or do I need a different approach? I've never seen what this might look like, so I'm kinda workin in the dark. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks, Doc.

If I shoot clear w/pearl over the silver base, then shoot the candy over the clear, do I need to sand the clear first?
If so, maybe it's better to shoot the candy over the silver base on the whole job, then mask the flames off, and shoot the clear w/pearl over the flames, and then clear the whole thing. If I do it this way, will the flames look lighter than the rest? That's what I want. What d'ya think? |
Kinda lost here (as usuall).
This is going to be a Brandywine Kandy complete with gold ghost flames, Right? |
Hold on fellas!! Your kinda wasting your time with the pearl over the silver! Your gonna be "shootin in the dark" so to speak. shoot the car silver, shoot your candy color,.. let it sit overnight...next day tape off the flames... very very light pearl,will give a whiteish--- glow to the flames, if your lookin for that effect? But only put 1/5th of of the amount you think it needs. My preferance is alittle bit heaveir on the peral --still your only putting avery light tent to the flames and then shool 1 more candy coat over the whole car. You'll get that REAL ghoast effect. The only way to screw it up is to 'tiger stripe' the candy or like I've been warning....too strong on the pearl! Good luck.
I've done a few 'ghost flame' jobs but I have never done them with candies , I just based the vehicle , taped out the flames , sprayed a pearl mixture pretty solid along the edges letting it fade towards the inner part of the licks . Getting this right is a bit tough because your working with a pretty invisible solution , you just need to pay attention to get it nice and even all the way through , unmask and clear ! I wouldn't use candies unless you have some experience with them. I have added acouple thumbnails but with the flames being 'ghosted' they are hard to see in the picture but look real cool in real life.
The jeep looks great! But maybe next time forget the 'emblems'. Your either 'custom' or not.
But it looks like you've done a good job on the 'lay out' congradulations! |
i think if you do the pearl right on top of the silver your going to lose it all together. the silver will sparkle so much you wont see the flame at all. i would probably go the way dominator said and do the flames then put a coat or two on top. the only problem with this is brandywine. until you get alot of coats of this color on it will look pink. apple red doesn't do this. i usually do a 50/50 mix of apple and brandywine. it will still give you that blood red look but the apple somewhat kills the pink effect.
No Pink!
Thanks for that. Avoiding pink was a top priority. But what about just going red, and skip the brandywine, altogether? S |
Sure if you want a Apple Red Kandy job.One of my all time favorites.It's also one of the most "forgiving" kandys to shoot unless you just have a really bad gun or set up. One main thing with a kandy job is the BASE,If you use a metallic,it best be RIGHT cause if it's mottled,striped,etc,it's just going to make the kandy look the same.
Like mrcleaner6 said,you shoot a kandy over a pearl ,especally ghost, and you all but kill it's effect.Besides ,the pearl after the kandy will LOOK better and I believe the customer will like it more. IF your in doubt of your abilities,Shoot the kandy and clear it,Then, do the flames and final clear coats.This way IF you don't like the flames or did too much pearl,etc,you can redo it without screwing the kandy job. |
Ghost Flames
Glad you said that about the kandy over the pearl killing the effect. I'll skip step 7 from the last message, then, and just shoot the whole project like I'm not gonna flame it including the clear topcoat and 1500 sanding. Then tape the flames off, shoot the pearl, clear the whole job, and color sand again.
I was worried the flames might look milky doing it this way. Any ideas about that? Do I worry too much, or should I just try it and see if I like it. Just rying to save sanding time, ya know? S |

Thanks, Jon. It helps.
Thanks, Jon. That helps.
as far as milky you have to remember these are ghost flames so very little pearl will be necessary. when its not in the sun you really shouldn't see them much at all. another thing you need to do is be aware of the pearls you are buying. not all are the same. some are much more transparent than others. for your effect you want one that is very transparent. if you look in the hok book or any color chips you will notice that some change the base color more than others. hok has a few different blues for instance. if you look at the chips of blues shot over the white base you will see one still looks white while some of the other look baby blue. the one that stays white is very transparent and will disappear better. old school flake has a line called ghost pearls. basically a collection of the most transparent pearls. i cant stress enough for ghosting things, SHOOT TEST PANELS. its the only way you will get the concentration of pearl and effect right. if you like apple red go with it. the two colors are very similar but the brandywine is a little richer and more blood red and i like that, thats why i do the mix. |

This is the story of Vararuchi, a great Brahmanan Scholar in the King Vikramaadithyan's
court, (around 300 AD) highly learned in all the Saasthrams (sciences). He is said to be
the son of famous Govinda Swamy and the author of "Vaakiam" and "Paralpperu",
two treatises in "Jyothissaasthram" (Astronomy), both of which were then
popular in the Kerala region.
day, King Vikramaadithyan asked Vararuchi as to which is the most important
verse, and in it, the most important phrase, in the entire Ramayanam epic.
When he was unable to answer correctly, the king ordered him to come back
with the correct answer in 41 days. Vararuchi approached many scholars
but still could not come up with the correct answer. On the night of 40th
day, as he was resting under a banyan tree, he got a clue to the answer
from two spirits which had come there in the form of Kaalameni birds
to visit two spirits of the forests who were residing on that tree. According
to them, the most important verse was the advice given by Sumithra to Lakshmanan,
when Sri Raman, Seetha and Lakshmanan started for forest exile.
Dasaratham vidhhi, maam vidhhi Janakaatmajam
Raman as if he were their father Dasarathan, Seetha as mother and the forest
as Ayodhya; may the journey be a blessed one).
the most important phrase in it was "Maam vidhi Janakaatmajam" (Consider
Seetha as your mother). At the same time, the birds also brought the unhappy
tidings that Vararuchi, the great Brahmanan, is destined to marry the girl
just born in a Parayan (very low caste) family.
then returned to King Vikramaadithyan's court and recited this most important
verse of Ramayanam which greatly pleased the king who presented Vararuchi
with felicitations. Vararuchi used this opportunity for escaping from his
fate and convinced the king that unless that child is put to death, the
entire kingdom will be under threat. Accordingly, the little girl was traced,
kept in a small raft (made out of banana plant peelings) with a lighted
torch stuck on its head and floated in the river.
day, many years later, Vararuchi, during one of his travels, went into
a poor Brahmanan's house for food. When Vararuchi set some preconditions
(in code language) for taking food there, a girl from inside assured that
all the conditions will be met. Impressed by the intelligence of the girl
who could understand the complicated conditions he had put forth and the
perfect arrangements she made for him, he was attracted to her and married
soon realised that the girl he married was the same one who was sent afloat
in the river, and that none can change the course of destiny. It was an
Antharjanam (Namboothiri wife) of Narippatta Mana of Kodumunda village
on the northern bank of Nila (Bharathapuzha) across from Thrithala who
had found the floating girl and had raised her.
Vararuchi proclaimed ex-communication for himself from the Brahmanan community,
due to his marriage with a low caste girl. Along with his wife, Vararuchi
started on a pilgrimage.
Vararuchi's travels along the Nila river, his wife had given birth to twelve
children. Each time he told her to go into a denser part of the forest
and upon delivery, asked her if the baby had mouth. If she said yes, he
would say, "God will feed it if it has mouth", and would ask her to leave
the child there and then proceed. Grieved by these, when the 12th child
was born, she lied and said the baby did not have a mouth, upon which he
permitted her to take the child along. But when she was about to breast-feed
it, the mouth was actually not there, proving that the words of great personalities
do indeed become real. Vararuchi then deified the child on a hill, which
is called "Vaayillaakkunnilappan" (Hill Lord without mouth), near the place
Kadampazhipuram (in the present Palakkad dist.).
children left out in the forest were subsequently found, adopted and raised
by families belonging to different communities, recognised one another
as they grew up, and used to get-together at the Illam (residence) of the
eldest son, Mezhathol Agnihothri, on their father Vararuchi's death anniversary
(Sraadham) - so goes the story or myth. These twelve sons are: Mezhathol
Agnihothri (Brahmanan), Paakkanaar (Parayan, a very low caste), Rajakan
(Washerman), Naaraanathu Bhraanthan (Elayathu, a lower class Brahmanan),
Kaarakkal Maatha (high caste Nair), Akavoor Chaathan (Vysyan), Vaduthala
Nair (Nair Soldier), Vallon (Thiruvalluvar of Tamil Nadu), Uppukottan (Muslim),
Paananaar (Paanan, a very low caste of country musicians), Perumthachan
(carpenter), Vaayillaakkunnilappan (deity).
the "Prathishta" of "Vaayillaakkunnilappan", Vararuchi is believed to have
undergone Samaadhi at Mannoor, to get "Moksham", though there is another
version that he continued his pilgrimage.
of these twelve families still exist in the southern part of Palakkad district
(Shoranur, Pattambi and Thrithala areas). Recently, on 30-11-97, all of
them met in Vemancheri Mana, the Illam (residence) of Mezhathol Agnihothri,
near Thrithala.
MEZHATHOL AGNIHOTHRI: The first born of Vararuchi couple, Mezhathol
Agnihothri (Brahmadathan), of the twelve children,
is said to have been born on a Thursday on the 2nd day of the month of Meenam
in Kali year 3444, (342 AD) based on the Kali number "Parudheesamaashraya:". The
Antharjanam (Namboothiri wife) in Vemancheri Mana, who found the new-born
baby abandoned by Vararuchi on the bank of Nila river and raised it like
her own, recognised one day that the child had divine powers. The boy who
had accompanied her to bathe in the river performed deification(sanctification
or Prathishta, in Sanskrit) of Sivalingam in the Taali (herbal paste for
cleaning hair) plate and diverted the course of the river at Varanduttikkadavu.
It is believed that the deity which Agnihothri had made out of river sand
in the "Thiruthaalam" (sacred plate) later came to be known as "Thrithaala
Appan". As a hongover of a custom, even to this day, the Vemancheri Mana
members do not offer prayers at the Siva temple at Thrithala.
to history, after Budha and Jain periods, the deteriorated Vedadharma and
Yagna (Yaagam) culture were rejuvenated in Kerala, several years later,
by Mezhathol Agnihothri, by performing Yaagam ninety-nine times, one after
the other. Only seven of the thirty two Namboothiri Graamams (villages)
co-operated with Agnihothri and accepted the Yaagam culture again. Even
today, only these seven Graamams (Thaliparambu, Alathur, Karikkad, Panniyur,
Sukapuram, Perumanam and Irinjalakkuda) have families having right to perform
Yaagams. It has to be noted that seventeen experts are needed to perform
Yaagam. For all these 99 Yaagams, Mezhathol Agnihothri drew these seventeen
experts from seven Namboothiri families, viz, Kalakandathur Griham, Maathur
Griham, Kulukkamillaavur Griham, Chemmangad Griham, Paazhoor Griham, Muringoth
Griham and Vella Griham.
is said that a person who performs 100 Yaagams will become god Indran.
When 99 Yaagams were over, Lord Indran feared that his power would
be lost to the Yajamaanan (leader) of this Yaagam. Indran personally arrived in the 99th Yaagasaala to accept the oblations
meant for each of them, and pleaded to Mezhathol Agnihothri to
stop performing the 100th Yaagam. The leader, Mezhathol Agnihothri, declined
the request saying that he is performing it not for a better position
but for retaining the culture of Yaagam among Brahmanans. Indran then
conceded Mezhathol Agnihothri and his seven colleagues, his equal status.
99 Yaagams of Mezhathol Agnihothri were performed at "Yagneswaram". After
the Yaagam fire (Yaagaagni, energy) extinguished, the Yagna gods, Siva and
Vishnu were deified in the fireplace (Homakundam). The northern dry branch
(struck by lightening) of the huge banyan tree (Arayaal, in Malayalam)
to the south of the temple planted and grown by Agnihothri for his Yaagams,
is even now used for making "Arani" for Sroutha rituals (like Yaagams).
It is now believed that Aazhvaancheri Thampraakkal performed the duties of
"Brahman" in all these Yaagams. Vaidyamadham family members were the
Yaagasaala physicians. [ Click here for "Saalaa vaidyan"]
story goes that once a huge vortex appeared in the river Cauvery. An Amyar
(Malayalam term for Tamil Brahmanan lady) girl residing on the bank of
the river apparently got a divine message and said that only Mezhathol
Agnihothri can find a solution for this cyclonic formation in the river.
When invited, he went there, went down into the waters and came up on the
third day with three spears in his hand. Some Gandharvans had apparently
lost them there.
accepted the Amyar girl as his third wife, returned and installed the
gold spear in his own house, the silver spear at Velliyamkallu and the
copper spear at Kotikunnath. It is believed that the gold spear installed
on the west side of the quadrangle (Patinjaatti) in Vemancheri Mana, later
grew itself as a large stone lamp (Kalvilakku). The twelve brothers of Agnihothri (Pantheerukulam) are said to have been meeting at Vemancheri Mana, the home of Agnihothri, every year on the Bheeshmaashtami day of Utharayanam to perform the death anniversary rites (Sraadham) of their father, Vararuchi. It is from the Agnihothra
smoke-stained Patinjaatti of this Mana that sparked the beginning of Sroutha
culture now existing in a relatively pure form in Kerala. Vaastu Vidya
(part of Architecture) and Thachu Saasthram (also part of Architecture)
are integrated in this Mana retaining the Yagnasaala's arrangements and
sanctity. Symbolised here are the peaceful Bhagavathy in the Patinjaatti
and in the central quadrangle (Nadumittam), the Durga, Bhadrakaali and
was to this Mana that Agnihothri's brother Paakkanaar of Paraya caste had
turned up carrying the udder chopped off from a dead cow in order to perform
Sraadha (in his own style) of their father Vararuchi.
first wife of Mezhathol Agnihothri was the wife who participated in Yaagam
along with him and hence received the title "Pathanaadi". Disturbed at
having to cook and serve for the brothers-in-law belonging to various lower
castes and due to incompatibilities with other wives, the first wife left
and stayed at Velutha Patteri Illam nearby. The second wife, after receiving
the spirit of Bhagavathi on to a Vaalkannati (a copper mirror which a
bride carries during marriage, and kept safely later) also left
childless and started living in Koodallur Kodanat Mana, nearby. The
Vemancheri Mana members, in order to sustain the sanctity of the temple
deities, shifted to the adjacent building (Pathaayappura) and later to
Kadambur near Ottapalam.
the river Nila from Yagneswaram is the rock called Velliyamkallu (silver
rock), where Agnihothri's silver spear was installed. On the full moon
night (Veluthavaavu) in the month of Thulaam when it is usually crowded
there, one can see the marks of Velliyamkallu where Agnihothri used to
spread his clothes to dry. During Thrithala temple festival, the deity
used to be taken to Velliyamkallu in a procession and do the "Thidampu
Aaraattu" (deity immersion) there. Thus the rock is also known as "Aaraattu
Paara". The rice mound, which Agnihothri used to make for his Yaagam, and
the channel into which the rice gravy (kanji) used to be poured still exist
in Thrithala as "Arikkunnu" (rice hill) and "Kanjithodu" (rice gravy stream)
in memory of Agnihothri.
famous astrologer Puthussery Vishnu Namboothiri has, according to Kalidinasamkhya
"Yagna Sthaanam Samrakshya" determined that Agnihothri ended his last Yaagam
on Tuesday, the 28th of the month Kumbham in Kali year 3479 (AD 377-378).
Agnihothri's age was then said to be 34 years, 11 months and 26 days.
to Kesari Balakrishna Pilla, Mezhathol may have come from Mezhithol, which
could mean Karinthol, which could be the Graamam by the same name (Karanthola)
among the 32 Namboothiri Graamams.
is believed that Agnihothri wrote the books "Bhaavanaavivekam", "Sphotasidhi",
"Brahmasidhi", etc. using the pen name "Mandanamisra" and three poems in
Chenthamizhu included in "Purananoor" in the pen name of "Vanparanar".
The famous scholars Payyur Bhattathiris claim their ancestry to Agnihothri.
Paakkanar: Just a shout away from Mezhathol Agnihothri's home Vemancheri
Mana in Thrithala, is the Paakkanar colony otherwise known as Eerattinkal
Paraya colony adjoining Arikkunnu mentioned earlier. In the traditional
caste hierarchy in Kerala, the Paraya caste was considered a lower caste.
Families of Paakkanaar lineage live in this colony in 18 houses. The story
goes that it was Paakkanar who actually made a "Thampraakkal" out of "Aazhvaancheri
Thampraakkal", who is considered as the head of the Namboothiris of the
Rajakan: It was a washerman living along the river Nila who found and
raised another child abandoned along the river bank by Vararuchi. Since
his five children were girls, the washerman was happy to raise the boy
as their own, and was named Rajakan. Rajakan instituted a religious learning
centre (Vydikavidyaalayam) at Kadavalloor which later became the prime
venue of the Vedic testing process ( Click here to know more about Kadavalloor
and Anyonyam). It may have been as a result of difference of opinion between
Rajakan and his teacher (guru) Kumarilabhattan that "Poorva meemamsa" (a
branch of study) branched into Rajakan's Prabhakara school and the guru's
Bhatta school, the latter getting more popularity in Kerala. As time passed,
the educational centre instituted by Rajakan at Kadavalloor disintegrated
and the Thrissur and Thirunavaaya schools took over and controlled Kadavalloor
Naaraanath Bhraanthan: If one proceeds westward beyond the silent valley
of the high Athipatta hill situated along the Thootha river, tributary
of river Nila, one would reach Aamayur Mana, also known as Narayanamangalathu
Mana. This is the illam to which the crazy boy, one of the new-borns left behind
by Vararuchi, was taken and raised, and who later became the famous "Naaraanathu
Bhraanthan" (The mad man of Naaraanath). Later an Illam was built
at the foot of the Raayiranellur hill, into which they all moved. Still
later, upon partition of the family, the elder brother Kumaraswamy Bhattathiripad,
also known as Malayil Patteri, moved to Raayiranellur. Naaraanath Bhraanthan's
craziness was well told through stories of his living in cremation ground,
and rolling of rocks up and down the hill. Naaraanath Bhraanthan was so
intelligent and courageous that he performed the Upanayanam of a mad boy
of a mad member of Kalpuzha Mana, during midnight the most auspicious
time he found during that year for that boy. Upanayanam is considered as a second-birth of the boy. The mad boy later became a perfect gentleman and did many wonders. One can see
the temple built and deified by Naaraanath Bhraanthan on the top of the
hill at Raayiranellur near Koppam, in the western border of Palakkad district.
raised as a Brahmanan, Naaraanath Bhraanthan did not follow the rites and
rituals of Namboothiris, which is perhaps why he was considered as "Elayathu"
(A semi-Brahmanan caste). It is believed that Naaraanath Bhraanthan is the
author of "Harithakaranam", a treatise in Astronomy (Jyothissaasthram).
Some believe that as a person who loved the stars, he would have been in
the habit of lying in the sands of Thootha river at nights looking up and
watching the stars, constellations and their movements! Still one can find the remnants of unbroken links by which the Bhraanthan was chained to a "Kaanjiram" tree and the temple deified by him, just a stone's throw away from Rayiranelloor, on the top of a hill. This is known as "Bhraanthankotta" (madman's fort).
Kaarakkal Maatha: It is said that Kavalappara Swaroopam, who observes
"pula" with Mezhathol Agnihothri, owes ancestry to Kaarakkal Maatha, the
only girl in the Pantheerukulam.
Akavoor Chaathan: Chaathan was the manager of Akavoor Mana, located
at Vellarappilly, near Aluva, on the bank of the river Periyar. He is the
"Vysyan" in the Pantheerukulam. Vararuchi, during the pilgrimage along the
Periyar had abandoned the boy there. The "Cheruman" (a low caste) who found
the child named it Chaathan (typical of that caste) but entrusted it with
an "Ambalavaasi" (one who serves in temples), but Chaathan family ended
up in Akavoor Mana - so goes the story.
Vaduthala Nair: Vaduthala Nair, the "Soodra" of Pantheerukulam belongs
to the present Kundooly Nair family of Mezhathur, near Thrithala. It was this family who took and raised the infant left behind by the Vararuchi couple while on the pilgrimage along the river Nila banks. Vaduthala Nair was an expert in martial arts.
Vallon: It is said that the Vallon of Pantheerukulam is actually the
very renowned "Thiruvalluvar" who composed the Dravida Vedam. Vallon
belongs to the higher sect among Paraya caste (a low caste) in Tamil Nadu.
Traditionally Valluvans (reduced colloquially to Vallon) teach how to write,
perform astrological/astronomical computations, and practice medicine and
Uppukottan: Uppukottan, who was raised as a Muslim, was born in Ponnani
at the mouth of the Nila river. He was a crazy trader, mainly in salt and
cotton, who used to bring salt, which is so common in Ponnani, from Palakkad, and take cotton to Palakkad, which is common there.
Paananaar: Paananaar belonged to Thiruvarangu. It is believed that
the Paanar of Kerala owe ancestry to this Paananaar. The traditional function
of Paanan is to sing "Thukilunarthal". Paananaar is referred to in the
famous Tamil grammar text (Vyakarana Grantham) "Tholkkaappiyam", the Sankara
period treatises "Akanaanooru", "Pathittupathu", etc., and in the northern
ballads (Vatakkan Paattukal).
Perumthachan: The head carpenter of Uliyannoor found and raised one
boy and made him "Perumthachan". Temples designed and built by this genius
of a carpenter can be seen all over Kerala. The Viswakarma (builder)
of these wonderful edicts is claimed to be the ancestor of the Perumthachan
carpenter family of Uliyannoor.
Vaayillaakkunnilappan: This is the only one among the Pantheerukulam
without progeny. Vararuchi consecrated (deified) alive one of his sons
on the top of a hill in Kadampazhipuram, in today's Palakkad district.
It is believed that this deity of silence is actually the lord of sound
and ability to talk.
The place of Mezhathol Agnihothri as a social revolutionary is quite unmatched.
This great rejuvenator of the Yagna (Yaagam) culture was also instrumental
in eliminating child-marriage, and in the amicable integration of the Saiva
(Sankaran) and Vaishnava (Narayanan) schools, a unique venture among Braahmanans
in India. Kerala has many Sankaranarayana temples.

UCI To Rule On Armstrong Case Monday
Published October 22, 2012
ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY: The AFP reported that backing USADA would "boldly underline the UCI's ongoing commitment to the fight against drugs cheats as well as highlight its desire to confine the drug-fueled successes of the past well behind it." Although McQuaid is "credited with introducing the much-heralded blood passport programme -- a proven deterrent for cheats -- he has often come in for criticism in his years in charge of the UCI" (AFP, 10/21). The AP's Jim Vertuno reported that Armstrong greeted 4,300 cyclists at his Livestrong charity bike ride Sunday. Armstrong told the crowd he has faced a "very difficult" few weeks. He "did not otherwise mention" USADA's report detailing evidence of doping or the possible sanctions. Armstrong wore a black T-shirt instead of the charity's signature yellow jersey, given to the winner of the Tour de France (AP, 10/21). In Sydney, David Walsh opined that "as important as this moment is for Armstrong, it is also important for UCI's leadership as it too has many questions to answer." The UCI "should accept the sanctions imposed on Armstrong and its leaders." McQuaid and UCI Honorary President Hein Verbruggen should then "accept responsibility for the poisonous years and resign as president and honorary life president." Anything less "leaves the sport in a kind of limbo" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 10/22).
