Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the part of the respiratory system that leads into the lungs. There are two types of bronchitis -- acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis usually appears after a respiratory infection, such as a cold, and can be caused by either a virus or bacteria. Chronic bronchitis does not have a sudden onset and is most frequently caused by long term irritation of the bronchial tubes. Bronchitis is considered chronic if symptoms continue for three months or longer. (Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD.) Bronchitis caused by allergies can also be classified as chronic bronchitis.
Asthma is sometimes under diagnosed, especially in children under 5 years old. Their asthma is sometimes labeled as chronic bronchitis or wheezy bronchitis. Although not all wheezes and coughs are caused by asthma, asthma should be considered whenever there is episodic, chronic, or recurrent cough or wheezing without a clear reason -- especially in children.
Symptoms may not be immediately obvious for chronic bronchitis. They include:
Chronic bronchitis is caused most often by exposure to airborne pollutants such as cigarette smoke, excessive dust in the air, or chemicals. The constant exposure to such pollutants begins to cause damage in the bronchioles (the smaller airways in the lungs), as the bronchial lining becomes inflamed.
Untreated chronic bronchitis can be very serious. As the bronchitis worsens, air exchange during breathing becomes less efficient and places strain on the heart. In addition, people with chronic bronchitis have an increased risk of developing other illnesses, such as colds or pneumonia. If the bronchitis is caused by smoking, the bronchitis and breathing problems will get worse as the smoking continues.
The main way to treat chronic bronchitis is to avoid the irritant that is causing the illness. For allergy-induced bronchitis, this means removing the allergens from the home or work environment. For smokers, this means quitting smoking.
To treat the bronchitis symptoms, increase the humidity in the air to ease the dry, scratchy throat. Try taking a cough suppressant at night to enable a good night's sleep. Keep in mind that the use of cough suppressants often is discouraged during the day to allow the body to cough out the mucus. Allergic bronchitis may be treated with antihistamine medications to reduce the allergic reaction.
Prescription medications may also help. Bronchodilators can help to open the airways, and steroid drugs can help to reduce the inflammation in the bronchioles. For severe or very long-term cases, doctors may prescribe oxygen therapy to allow proper oxygenation throughout the body.

Migration from legacy procps tools to procps-ng (next generation procps tools).
Old (legacy) procps tools had no updates for several years and that led to a massive code split caused by a local-only application of distribution specific patches, which were not merged upstream. The project became hardly maintainable since some of the newly written patches were incompatible with sources maintained by other distributors. A similar incompatibility could be noticed in the applications behaviour and their command line switches. This update can be understood as an inevitable effort to unify the procps tools across all Linux distributions.

Paris Fashion Week: Our 15 Favorite Looks
The mood in Paris was somber. The runways saw countless covered figures (loads of sleeved dresses, capes and capelets topped dozens of wideleg trousers), though these are Fall collections, after all.
Some silhouettes were unapologetically ladylike (like at Miu Miu and Nina Ricci) but there seemed to be a storm cloud over many of the shows: Chanel was staged in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the Alexander McQueen collection was in honor of "the Ice Queen and her court," and the backdrop for Lanvin's austere looks was a weeping willow. Dark, maybe, but plenty to love.

Skip to comments.Sick of Voter Fraud: YOU can "poll watch" or "challenge" ballots in some states
Posted on 10/29/2002 8:26:26 AM PST by Notwithstanding
Do you want to make a difference on election day and prevent voter fraud - which seems to largely be a Democrat offense?
Be a poll watcher or a challenger.
As much as I like to think I am well-informed, I just discovered that in my state, any one can stay at the polling place all day long and observe the process. You can probably even take videos or photos of everything but the actualy ballot stations and completed ballots.
Poll "watchers" can just show up and watch. Poll "challengers" officially represent a party or other group and have ID to confirm that fact. I was trained last night and will be a "cahllenger" on electiond day.
Make a differnce - help keep it clean.
My area is heavy Republican, so I don't think fraud will be an issue, but I considered going into demonRat areas to poll watch, until my early suprise arrived.

Give this to friends, walk your neighborhood, take it to stores, give a wad of 'em to your school, hand some out at your house of worship, at clubs, at stores and small businesses...
Let's retire Gray Davis!
Let's show the media and RINOs that "It's the base, stupid!"
Let's show Gray Davis that money can't buy him love ...or re-election!
Freepers and RLC activists can claim considerable credit for nominating Bill Simon, so now let's elect him!
With the Dems in desperation mode, we can expect them to engage in all kinds of less-than-ethical election practices. Here is a list of things to be on the lookout for:
Registering non-citizens, illegal aliens, etc.
Smear and fear tactics
During election:
Voting by non-citizens
One man many votes (multiple voting)
Voting on behalf of the deceased
Vote-counting irregularities
Cries of "disenfranchisement" by people who didn't get their way.
Frivolous law suits in close races
What other things might the desperate Dems try to pull around election time? Please help by adding to this list and watching out for them.
With the election one week away, we must be ever vigilant. Prepare for and prevent voter fraud!
101.111 Person desiring to vote may be challenged; challenger to execute oath; oath of challenged elector; determination of challenge.--
(1) When the right to vote of any person who desires to vote is questioned by any elector or watcher, the challenge shall be reduced to writing with an oath as provided in this section, giving reasons for the challenge, which shall be delivered to the clerk or inspector. Any elector or authorized poll watcher challenging an elector at an election shall execute the oath set forth below:
(See link for form with oath)
(2) Before a challenged elector is permitted to vote by any officer or person in charge of admission to the polling place, the challenged elector's right to vote shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of subsection (3). The clerk or inspector shall immediately deliver to the challenged elector a copy of the oath of the person entering the challenge and shall request the challenged elector to execute the following affidavit:
(See link for form with oath)
Any inspector or clerk of election may administer the oath.
(3) If the challenged person refuses to make and sign the affidavit, the clerk or inspector shall refuse to allow him or her to vote. If such person makes the affidavit, the inspectors and clerk of election shall compare the information in the affidavit with that entered on the registration books opposite the person's name, and, upon such comparison of the information and the person's signature and the taking of other evidence which may then be offered, the clerk and inspectors shall decide by a majority vote whether the challenged person may vote. If the challenged person is unable to write or sign his or her name, the clerk or inspector shall examine the precinct register to ascertain whether the person registered under the name of such person is represented to have signed his or her name. If the person is so represented, then he or she shall be denied permission to vote without further examination; but, if not, then the clerk or one of the inspectors shall place such person under oath and orally examine him or her upon the subject matter contained in the affidavit, and, if there is any doubt as to the identity of such person, the clerk or inspector shall compare the person's appearance with the description entered upon the precinct register opposite the person's name. The clerk or inspector shall then proceed as in other cases to determine whether the challenged person may vote.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Abortion rights activists on Wednesday filed the first of what they expect will be several legal challenges to laws recently approved in North Dakota that would make that state the most restrictive in the country for women to terminate their pregnancies.
The state's lone abortion clinic, backed by the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, said it filed a lawsuit in state court that challenges a law that requires doctors who perform abortions to obtain hospital-admitting privileges.
Officials with the Red River Women's Clinic in downtown Fargo, where protesters hold weekly vigils on Wednesday when abortions are typically performed, argue the law could effectively make abortion illegal in North Dakota.
The measure was one of four Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed into law this past session that could spearhead a campaign to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal in most cases. Opponents have promised a long and costly legal battle.
North Dakota Attorney General Stenehjem said Wednesday afternoon he had not read the complaint but added that his office has been gearing up for the legal fight and would "zealously advocate" for the state in response to the lawsuit.
"This is a significant case, but we have lawyers in our office who handle controversial and complicated cases all the time," he said. "... We will zealously advocate as lawyers are required to do for our client."
Jeff Zent, spokesman for Dalrymple, said the governor could not comment because it's an open case. Dalrymple had said in a statement after the bill signing in March that it would likely face a court challenge.
"Nevertheless, it is a legitimate and new question for the courts regarding a precise restriction on doctors who perform abortions," the governor said.
The law being challenge is scheduled to take effect Aug. 1. Officials with the Center for Reproductive Rights said they plan to file lawsuits "soon" against two other abortion bills — including one that bans abortions when a fetal heartbeat is detected, which could be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy and before some women even know they're pregnant .
The sponsor of the admitting privileges bill, Republican Sen. Spencer Berry, said during the session that the law is needed to protect the health and safety of women who are having abortions.
Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said the opposite is true.
"With their relentless campaign to end safe and legal abortion in North Dakota, lawmakers have effectively told the women of their state, 'We don't care about your health, we don't care about your safety, and we sure don't care about your constitutional and human rights,'" Northrup said Wednesday in a statement.
Officials with Dakotas-based Sanford Health say any doctor can apply for hospital credentials. Once an application has been submitted, several items are reviewed, including background checks on previous employment or medical school references, and malpractice information. The information then travels up the chain to three committees, ending with the hospital's board of directors.
Opponents of the measure say it's impossible for abortion doctors in North Dakota to meet the minimum number of hospital visits required for because the procedure is safe and women rarely need further care.
A nearly identical measure in Mississippi was signed into law last year and has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge after the Center for Reproductive Rights challenged the law on behalf of that state's only abortion clinic. That lawsuit claims the requirement "effectively gives local hospitals veto power" over the clinic's ability to keep its license and stay in business.
The Red River women's clinic performs about 1,200 abortions a year. Outside of Fargo, the nearest abortion clinics are four hours south in Sioux Falls, S.D., and four hours southeast in Minneapolis.
Autumn Katz, staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, last month argued successfully to shoot down a 2011 North Dakota law that sought to limit the use of drugs to terminate pregnancies. She said after that trial she was prepared to take on the 2013 laws.
"My thoughts on that are that it's unfortunate that the Legislature seems to be treating women in North Dakota as second-class citizens and feels the need to deprive them of the rights that women in other states have," Katz said. "As the judge said, these rights are fundamental rights, and they shouldn't have to keep going back to court to make sure those rights are protected."

President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney met on Monday in Boca Raton, Florida, for the third and last presidential debate, focused on foreign policy, ahead of the November 6 election.
Below are some highlights of what the two candidates said.
Continue Reading Below
Romney: "We can't kill our way out of this mess. We're going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the world of Islam and other parts of the world to reject this radical violent extremism."
"The key that we're going to have to pursue as a pathway is to get the Muslim world to be able reject extremism on its own."
Obama: "When it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s."
"What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong and steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map, and unfortunately that's the kind of opinions that you've offered throughout the campaign and it is not a recipe for American strength."
Romney: "Attacking me is not an agenda. Attacking me is not talking about how we're going to deal with the challenges that exist in the Middle East, and take advantage of the opportunity there, and stem the tide of this violence."
Obama: "I know you haven't been in a position to actually execute foreign policy but every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong. You said we should have gone into Iraq, despite that fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction."
Romney: "We're going to have to do more than just going after leaders and killing the bad guys, as important as that is. We're also going to have to have a far more effective and comprehensive strategy to help move the world away from terror and Islamic extremism. We haven't done that yet... We have not seen the progress we need."
Obama: "Our strategy was not just going after (Osama) bin Laden. We've created partnerships through the region to deal with extremism, in Somalia, in Yemen, in Pakistan. And what we've also done is engage these governments in the kind of reforms that are actually going to make a difference in people's lives day to day. ... We've stood on the side of democracy."
Romney: "Our military is second to none in the world. We're blessed with terrific soldiers, and extraordinary technology and intelligence. But the idea of a trillion dollars in cuts through sequestration and budget cuts to the military would change that."
Obama: "I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mention the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we had in 1916. Well Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. Because the nature of the military has changed. ... The question is not a game of Battleship or counting ships, it's what are our capabilities."
Romney: "Our purpose is to make sure the world is peaceful. We want a peaceful planet, we want people to enjoy their lives and know they're going to have a bright and prosperous future and not be at war. That's our purpose. And the mantle of leadership for the promoting the principles of peace has fallen to America. We didn't ask for it, but it's an honor we have it.
"But for us to be able to promote those principles of peace requires us to be strong. And that begins with a strong economy at home and unfortunately the economy is not stronger."
Obama: "The world needs a stronger America and it is stronger than when I came into office. Because we ended the war in Iraq, we were able to refocus our attention on not only the terrorism threat but also beginning a transition process in Afghanistan. It also allowed us to refocus on alliances and relationships that have been neglected for a decade.
"And Governor Romney, our alliances have never been stronger, in Asia, in Europe, in Africa, with Israel, where we have an unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation, including dealing with the Iranian threat.
"But what we also have been able to do is position ourselves so that we can start rebuilding America. And that's what my plan does."
Obama: "There have been times, Governor, frankly, during the course of this where it sounded like you thought that you'd do the same things we did but you'd say them louder and somehow that would make a difference."
"We're not going to allow Iran to perpetually engage in negotiations that lead nowhere and I've been very clear to them."
Romney: "I think from the very beginning, one of the challenges we've had with Iran is that they have looked at this administration and felt that the administration was not as strong as it needed to be. I think they saw weakness where they had expected to find American strength.
"We're four years closer to a nuclear Iran and we should not have wasted these four years."
Romney: "I don't want our military involved in Syria. I don't think there's a necessity to put the military there at this stage, I don't anticipate that in the future."
Obama: "Governor Romney said he doesn't have different ideas and that's because we're doing exactly what we should be doing, which is try to promote a moderate Syrian leadership and an effective transition so that we get (Syrian President Bashar al-) Assad out. That's the kind of leadership we've shown and that's the kind of leadership we'll continue to show."
Obama: "China is both an adversary but also a potential partner in the international community if it's following the rules. So my attitude coming into office was that we're going to insist that China plays by the same rules as everybody else."
Romney: "China has an interest that's very much like ours, in one respect, and that is they want a stable world, they don't want war, they don't want to see protectionism, they don't want to see the world break out into various forms of chaos. ...
"We can be a partner with China. We don't have to be an adversary in any way shape or form, we can work with them, we can collaborate with them if they're willing to be responsible."
Romney: "Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia, or Mr. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. And I'm certainly not going to say to him, I'll give you more flexibility after the election. After the election, he'll get more backbone."
Obama: "A few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia. Not al Qaeda. You said Russia. And the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Mayo Clinic has been active for more than 50 years. During that time, the staff has been involved in innovation and research in the diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases. The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory is equipped with the latest technology and offers a full spectrum of services.
Mayo Clinic was among the first medical centers to pioneer diagnostic techniques via cardiac catheterization. Mayo Clinic has also pioneered the use of several catheter-based therapies, including:
The staff in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory collaborates with other specialty areas and offers treatment for several conditions, such as carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease.
At Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota, the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory services are integrated into a clinical setting through the Coronary Artery Disease Clinic. In the Coronary Artery Disease Clinic, you'll consult with doctors on the latest advances relevant to your condition, and you're then treated in the lab soon after. The Valvular Heart Disease Clinic, Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, Heart Failure Clinic and other subspecialty cardiovascular clinics partner with the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory to optimize your care.
The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory offers treatment for children, including infants, at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota. Staff includes specialists trained in treating children with heart conditions (pediatric cardiologists).
Treatment for adults is offered at the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.
After treatment, you'll have the option of continuing your care with a Mayo Clinic doctor, or you may return to your own doctor.
Cardiologists and staff have access to innovative technology that can extend treatment capabilities and reduce risks. The lab's stereotaxis computerized magnetic guidance system allows your doctor to use magnets to more precisely manipulate wires and catheters in your heart, which increases your doctor's ability to access and treat more complex or chronic coronary blockages without surgery. It also allows procedures to be completed in less time, reducing your exposure to radiation.
Technology including intracardiac and intravascular imaging, 3-D echocardiogram, and rotational angiography is used to further improve the safety and success rates for complex procedures. Many procedures are now conducted through catheters inserted in arteries in the arm, which helps to improve your safety and comfort.
Doctors may use support systems such as an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or a method called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support your circulation when your procedure is very complex or your left ventricular function is very poor.
Procedures conducted in the catheterization laboratory to diagnose your condition may include:
Procedures conducted in the catheterization laboratory to treat or manage your condition may include:
Not all procedures may be available at all locations. Please confirm when you request an appointment. Mayo Clinic's Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in Florida doesn't offer carotid angioplasty and stenting, or procedures to treat some congenital heart conditions.
Mayo Clinic's Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory has a dynamic research program. Several members of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory are involved in research and development of new technologies and techniques to expand and improve cardiac catheterization treatment. They conduct research and clinical trials on possible treatments.

Morphology of Fluid Flow Channels in Reactive Porous Media
DOEI Project Funded: 2002
Proposed ResearchFluid flow channels form by reactions between migrating fluid and solid, porous media. Determining the factors that govern the spatial organization of focused porous flow is essential to understanding melt transport in the upper mantle, localization of volcanic eruptions, localization of seafloor hydrothermal vents, gas hydrate formation and dissolution along sedimented continental margins, and groundwater flow through calcareous sediments. However, the phenomena that control formation of channels have only recently become computationally tractable.
We will study the spatial distribution of fluid flow channels formed by reactive transport of fluid via laboratory experiments, mathematical analysis, and numerical modeling. Our goal is to better understand how the spatial distribution of channels formed by flow along a gradient in which the solubility of the solid increases changes as small channels coalesce into larger conduits, thereby determining the ultimate scale of flow localization.
Final ReportWhat were the primary questions you were trying to address with this research? (Or, if more appropriate, was there a hypothesis or theory that you were trying to prove or disprove?)
The primary goal is to learn how flow of magma is focused as it moves along, and whether drainage channels can branch out into more channels again.
What have you discovered or learned that you didn't know before
you started this work?
We learned a little more about how to set these experiments up. Drainage channels have been produced, but the branching of channels has not been found at all.
What is the significance of your findings for others working in
this field of inquiry and for the broader scientific community?
Nothing yet, the project was only intended to start this work.
What is the significance of this research for society?
Ultimately to know volcano mechanics better, to understand how magma interacts with host rock as it flows along.
What were the most unusual or unexpected results and opportunities
in this investigation?
The biggest surprise to us is how hard it is to get flows to focus into channels when we want that to happen, and yet we know experiments where the channelization is easy to make. The branching of channels, which is seen in geological settings, is not found in our laboratory experiments.
What were the greatest challenges and difficulties?
Working with saturated salt solutions. They corrode metals easily, are tough on one's skin, and their properties are not well quantified.
When and where was this investigation conducted?
The purpose was to design and begin to run new experiments in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
What were the key tools or instruments you used to conduct this
Densiometer, thermometers, temperature baths, custom made containers and lots of mathematics and searching out properties of materials.
Is this research part of a larger project or program?
Conceptually yes, but the projects are not funded.
What are your next steps?
One of us has started using a wax-like polyethylene glycol instead of saturated salt solutions and in this one channels are easy to make.
Have you published findings or web pages related to this research?
No, except Braun's thesis does have discussion of the experiments, but the experiments enrich his understanding. There will be no publication of these results in their own right, this project is not able to support that level of scientific achievement.
Please suggest or provide photographs, illustrations, tables/charts,
and web links that can help illustrate your research.
Report below.
Please provide some biographical information, such as place of
birth, degrees earned, significant awards or honors, research interests,
reasons why you became a scientist or why you are interested in
this line of research, and any personal interests, hobbies, or
details that you are willing to share. You can find a few good
examples here:
Peter Kelemen is a field geologist and petrologist interested in how rocks are formed during magma flow. He just received the Bowen Award from the Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology Section of the American Geophysical Union. After extensive field studies, he became interested in working with Jack Whitehead who is a fluid dynamicist and has developed more than forty new laboratory experiments in his career. They have jointly worked toward developing fluid mechanics studies to study melt-rock interaction starting about ten years ago, This project teaches about the effects of crystallization on flow focusing using saturated salt solutions. Mike Braun conducted extensive studies of magma drainage mechanisms for his thesis work and the preliminary experiments done here by Mike and other students in the geldynamics program produced new refined experiments.
A number of laboratory experiments were constructed in which water flowed through salt crystals and caused the crystals either to grow due to the water reaching saturation temperature, or to dissolve if the water was below saturation. We sought to view spatial organization of drainage channels in the salt matrix. A number of geological applications for flow focusing exist in magma systems, including processes leading to dunites in Ophiolites (ancient ocean floors that have been thrust up on land), flow focusing under spreading centers that leads to dunites, channelization of magma in surface volcanic systems, and erosion within limestone. The salt used was Ammonium Chloride, which has a solubility coefficient in water that is very dependent on temperature. A few experiments were conducted with syrup rather than salt solution. In the project a number of experiments were conducted by students, especially by Mike Braun in conjunctions with interests he developed in his thesis work. Funds were used principally to construct the equipment and purchase the materials. A small amount of funds were used to design the experiments and help with data analysis. The projects are summarized below: The reports are in the form of Geodynamics project reports or informal notes. At present, there are no plans for publications, although some of the results might be in future papers.
Lisa Lassner: Spring 2003. Used small 16cm x 16 cm x 16 cm tank for crystal growth experiment related to ledge formation on hydrothermal vents. We used supersaturated KNO3 liquid in the tank. A heater/cooler unit with a 50/50 antifreeze mix supplied cold fluid of about - 7 degrees C to a 1/2 cm diameter stainless steel tube placed horizontally in the tank. Crystals then grew on the tube presenting ledge-like features. (Photo of ledge is in the Gizmos' section of our website.)
Christina Kaba: Spring 2003. Built a flat tray about 40 cm square. One end of the tray was constructed of 1/2" aluminum about 15cm wide, the remainder of the tray was acrylic. Beneath the aluminum section was a chamber connected to a heater cooler unit that supplied cold water at about 2 degrees C , which cooled the aluminum. A thin acrylic cover was placed above the entire tray and spaced above it using small glass beads. Supersaturated NH4CL was supplied to a manifold and uniformly distributed it in a line above the aluminum plate. The super-saturated liquid hit the cold aluminum, crystallized and eventually formed channels through the crystallized salt. The glass beads provided channels to the non-cooled sections of the tray and other channels developed.
Mike Braun: (I) summer 2002: Built 60cm (l) x 20 cm (h) by 1/2" (w) of thick acrylic. At the top and bottom were 1/2" diameter stainless steel tubes that ran the length of the tank. Heating and cooling units supplied water to the tubes at fixed temperatures. A saturated sodium nitrate solution filled the tank. The lower stainless tube was 5 deg. C and the upper tube was 40 deg. C. The top fluid was in contact with solid crystals and became saturated and hence dense. It sank to the bottom where rising cold liquid would not be saturated upon rising and getting warmer and it would form dissolution channels through the salt. These eventually form mineature vents with rising lower salinity liquid emerging from their tops as shown in shadow graphs. (Photo is available on our website in photo gallery 'experiments'.)
Mike Braun: (II) Spring 2003: An expansion of his first experiment. Used supersaturated NH4Cl rather than Sodium Nitrate. Built much more complicate tank with a 1' thick acrylic test section to insulate the fluid. A bottom tank about 78 cm (l) x 14cm (h) x 13cm (w) was a holding tank for the liquid and was heated by a 1/2' stainless steel tube. The NH4Cl was continuously pumped into this tank. Above it was placed the test chamber about 76cm(l) x 27 cm(h) x 1/2" (w). Four stainless steel 1/2" tubes (two at the top and two at the bottom) were recessed into the 1" thick sidewalls. They ran horizontally and supplied either warm or cool water from two heater coolers. The test chamber was filled with glass spheres to aid in channel development from the crystallizing salts. Finally, above the test chamber was a long tank that caught the rising fluid and recycled it to the supply system. (Photo in Gizmo section of website.)
Mike ran short of time with experiment II. He had planned to study the crystallization process with different flow rates and concentrations. He wanted to observe the change in liquid composition by sampling the supply fluid before it was cooled and its concentration as it left the system to be recycled. He had hoped to observe the flow channels in detail.

Resilient Editors Create a New Scholarly Book
By Dennis Walikainen | Published
It was an idea begun at a conference seven years ago. Michigan Technological University hosted the Fifth Biennial International Feminism(s) and Rhetoric(s) Conference in 2005, and conference coordinators Beth Flynn, Ann Brady, and Patty Sotirin, all faculty members in the Department of Humanities, recognized the resilience of those who made it to campus after a storm had closed the local airport. Elsewhere, the monumental resilience of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina was displayed across the globe.
Resilience, then, became a theme of the conference, and, in effect the book, Feminist Rhetorical Resilience was born. All of the chapter authors attended the conference and presented papers on issues related to their essays in the book. Most of the respondents attended the conference as well.
"Resilience is a term found elsewhere in scholarship, but it hadn't been applied to feminist rhetoric," Flynn said. "Our editor at Utah State University Press liked the focus it would give our book."
Resilience also came to define the book, Flynn said, as it took two years to revise the introduction and supervise the revision of the chapters toward the goal of sharpening the focus. "It rarely happens that editors and contributors put this much effort into a revision. We are all very happy with the result."
The coeditors also came up with their own definition of resilience, one that stresses agency (especially public action), metis (resourcefulness), and relationality (support from others).
"Our idea is that women often can't do it alone," Flynn said, "especially given the current economic constraints, for example. They need that network, that connection. It's mobilizing the forces available."
Initially, the attendees at the conference were invited to submit chapters for the book. Other scholars were asked to respond to the chapters that were selected, and the initial authors then wrote their reflections on the responses. So, it is a true dialogue in print.
"The exchange of responses and reflections is productive," Sotirin said. "The contributors don't just agree with each other. The result is that these exchanges work through the implications of resilience."
Brady appreciates the discussion, too.
"The fact that not everyone agrees is a reflection of how important this is," she said. "There is not a unified understanding of resilience and how it can be used."
Brady uses the concept of metis as another example of an ongoing rhetorical discussion.
"Often it is formed in a time of hopelessness, but it doesn't always end in a clear victory," she said. "It is more often a way of negotiating with others and with systems in productive ways. That's the power of it." Brady also appreciates the diversity of the chapters: resilience in the workplace, in other nations and cultures, in the economically disadvantaged, in sexual orientation.
"We're kick-starting a new conversation," Sotirin said, "with people who should be considering this."
The three coeditors are also using their newfound knowledge in their future research. At an upcoming Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), they will extend the concept of resilience. Flynn is focused on agency, using an Eastern/Buddhist approach. Sotirin is looking at relationality from a contemporary philosophical perspective. Brady is analyzing metis as embodied intelligence. All are working to expand the framework of feminist rhetorical resilience.
Their hope is that the book will be well received and have an impact on the field. In the meantime, they are learning about marketing ("websites, postcards, book signings"), which resides outside the normal realm of the academic enterprise.
"We know this concept is worthy," Flynn says. "As three single mothers, we've all enacted our own versions of resilience! In our lives, our scholarship, and in the world today, resilience is a timely concept and resource."

Dear Loyal Readers, Followers, Fan Page Subscribers, Family and Friends,
I am in-love. Deeply in-love. I am so smitten with an 800 pound senior horse, that I have little time to spend on my food blog, let alone anything else! When I sent my horse to a distant ranch (125 miles away), to enjoy her golden years in retirement, I had no idea how much I'd pine for her. Memories of watching "Savvy" pinning her ears, while being judged, in cutting (cattle) competitions and proving how she could work a cow by running circles around it and her athletic moves, still makes me smile with fond memories. I was too
That was before my son was born-- who turns 22 in November. Savannah Sue turns 27 years old this August, and she is still looking great. Once I retired her from the show ring, she became my faithful trail horse. Nowadays, the two of us have arthritis, so we both walk with a bit of a limp. I don't have the strength to climb up in her saddle anymore (unless I have a mounting block) and she's also a bit stiff in her joints. It's time for her to just be a horse, though I still find her to be that beautiful Arabian that I bought when she was just a yearling. How time flies! Now that she's home again, I find that I am anxious to get home from work, and in in a hurry to whip up a quick dinner. I'm looking for shortcuts to have enough daylight so that I can head down to the ranch to brush my girl, feed her carrots and enjoy the beautiful view where she resides in an enormous paddock. Just this week, I had thawed a flank steak and I happened to catch an episode of America's Test Kitchen, a couple of days earlier. Thankfully, I had all of the ingredients and I was so pleased that it took all of 5 minutes to prep the meat:
Place steak on rimmed baking sheet or in large baking dish. Using dinner fork, prick steak about 20 times on each side. Rub both sides of steak evenly with salt and then with paste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. This is when I raced down to the ranch to check on my horse...
NOTE: The meat was ready in 9 minutes. I thought it seemed strange to cut a hole in the middle of the steak, but now I understand... you want a shallow hole-- not enough to allow the juices to escape (thus dry steak). One more minute and the steak would have been overdone.
Loosely tent steak with foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Using sharp chef's knife or carving knife, slice steak about ¼ inch thick against grain and on bias. Serve immediately.
I took this one, very fast shot, and we enjoyed this with grilled vegetables and a baked potato. The meat was simple to make and flavorful. Had I marinated this overnight, I think it would have been even better. I do apologize that my photos aren't my best, but like I said... I'm so smitten with my horse, that I am taking a modified break from blogging recipes-- please forgive me, if I haven't been on your blog lately. I will, but I need to enjoy the novelty of having a big pet that follows me around like a puppy dog. My horse has given me 26 years of loyalty, beautiful trail rides, trophies, ribbons and joy. She deserves a big welcome home, lots of carrots and the best quality of life. People ask me how long horses live-- my answer is that I have known horses who lived to be in their thirties! I'll be posting more photos of the ranch, because it is a very beautiful place to be. In fact, I'm on my way as soon as I hit SEND.
The printable recipes is at the bottom of this post.

Sho_Shane, I'm am happy to hear that you are not street racing anymore. Marriage, children and maturity will do that to a person. I love fast too! My club was a co-host of a car event at Fontana (NASCAR track), CA. There is also a drag strip there. Many people got a chance to race and auto-cross on another track. It is fun and a great way to see how fast and agile your car is. I witnessed a street racing accident and it was horrific. An innocent 12 year old girl was killed instantly and her driver and rear passenger were seriously injured. It happened in front of my high school softball team that I coach. That accident affected all 15 of my girls and others who witnessed it. The racer was sitting on the curb making excuses to his mother on the phone. The other one got away - for about a year, then he was located and also arrested. They both are doing state prison time. So sad for the families of the victims and the racers. Never in my life did I want to hurt someone so bad as that driver, yet I stood by him until the police came so no one else would hurt him or help him leave the scene. Having children does wonders doesn't it? You are so right that when it comes to cars, it really doesn't matter what you drive it just matters that you love cars. Take care and enjoy and cherish your family. Thanks for friending me.

Nov 8, 2012
As with a few past Theme Thursdays we will be looking at themes for the most popular ROM for rooted Android phones and that is CyanogenMod. Most people who run CyanogenMod use it because they want something that their current phone does not give them, and for a majority of people that reason is Ice Cream Sandwich. Because phone carriers are so reluctant to upgrade even year old phones to Google's newer OS, a good amount of these owners have looked to rooting in order to get their phones looking the way they want. I personally have a love/hate relationship with ICS; I enjoy everything right up to the icons. Ice Cream Sandwich's thin lines and dark complexion are very attractive but I feel the bright and oversized icons to be out of place.
Well never mind what I think because I feel that I am probably in the minority here and the questionable icons have not stopped me from getting an ICS theme for my CM7. There are a few ICS themes for CM7, and I have tried a few but my favorite by far has to be the one by Sonny Sekhon, who has a large and impressive list of CyanogenMod themes. Like most themes there are not much performance tweaks and everything about the phone remains CM7 except it just looks better, and wow it does look better. The developer does a great job of making sure that everything here was themed correctly and after looking at my friend's ICS phone I found it hard to tell many differences in the way the phones looked.
CyanogenMod 9 comes with its own proprietary launcher, Trebuchet, but CM7 still uses ADW Launcher to handle the home screen. Unfortunately, this app does not have a corresponding ADW Launcher theme but it does have one for LauncherPro. I find this kind of weird and I do not usually like having multiple launchers on my phone as I feel it bogs the home screen down for some reason, but ultimately it is not a deal breaker as the launcher skin looks great as well.
So anyone who has a rooted phone with CyanogenMod 7 I highly recommend looking into grabbing Sonny Sekhon's Ice Cream Sandwich theme and give that "aging" phone a breath of life.

Nutella madness is everywhere, and I am by no means immune. I love Nutella and that's no joke! But I will also add that I think the original is a tad too sweet for even my sweet tooth. And since there is no shortage of homemade Nutella recipes to be found, I thought I would try my hand at making some for myself, only darker and edgier... Or maybe just darker and less sweet. Happily, this recipe (which I found here) requires only a handful of ingredients -- literally 5, plus an optional pinch of salt -- and comes pretty darn close to the original. A couple of caveats, though: You will need a food processor. I cannot imagine attempting this without one. And if you can find hazelnuts that have already been skinned, get them. Skinning hazelnuts is a major pain in the derrier, and should be avoided if at all possible. If you need a good tutorial on skinning hazelnuts, head over here. I toasted my nuts on the stovetop and shook them around/rubbed them together in a paper bag until most (read: 50% or so because I didn't have the patience to concern myself with removing more) of the skins had fallen off. The more skin you can remove, the smoother your finished product will be. And while the addition of a pinch of salt is optional, I do recommend it. Particularly sea salt, which really brings out awesomeness in dark chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Nutella PRINTABLE RECIPE Ingredients: 7 oz. (about 1 2/3 c.) hazelnuts, toasted and skinned as well as possible 9 oz. dark chocolate (I used 72% cacao) 1, 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk a pinch of sea salt, optional evaporated milk (I used fat free) Directions: Once your hazelnuts have been toasted, skinned, and cooled, toss them in your food processor and process them until they turn into a paste that resembles peanut butter. This will take a while, and may require you to stop and scrape the sides of your bowl a time or two. Meanwhile, melt your chocolate in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and shiny. Add to that your sweetened condensed milk and sea salt, if desired, and mix thoroughly. Then mix in your hazelnut butter. At this point, the mixture will be quite thick. That's where the evaporated milk comes in. Stir in milk* a little at a time until you get the consistency you like, then add a bit more, because it will thicken more as it cools. I did this in my food processor to ensure that things were nice and smooth, but you certainly don't have to. I used about half of a 12 oz. can of evaporated milk. *Your milk should be room temp. or warmer. Cold milk will cause your chocolate mixture to seize up, and that's no good. While it's still warm, pour into airtight containers. Once cool, you should store it in the fridge and remove it a couple of minutes before you want to spread it so it has a chance to soften up. This made about 4 cups, so there's plenty to share with the lucky beneficiary of your choice!
|That's the money shot right there.

Bill Nunn, the actor most famous for his role as Radio Raheem in Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," died Saturday in Pittsburgh, Lee announced on Instagram. He was 62.
"My Dear Friend, My Dear Morehouse Brother- Da Great Actor Bill Nunn As Most Of You Know Him As Radio Raheem Passed Away This Morning In His Hometown Of Pittsburgh. Long Live Bill NUNN," Lee wrote on Instagram.
Nunn appeared in a number films throughout his career, which spanned from the late 1980s into the 21st Century. He acted opposite Tobey Maguire in the "Spiderman" franchise, in "New Jack City" with Wesley Snipes, and in "Sister Act" starring Whoopi Goldberg.
But his most notable role was Radio Raheem, the Bedford-Stuyvesant resident who spoke in poetic prose about his brass knuckles emblazoned with the words "love" and "hate."
In the film, racial tensions in the Brooklyn neighborhood simmer during a steamy summer day. They boil over at night when Nunn's character is choked to death by a New York City police officer.
"RADIO RAHEEM Is Now RESTING IN POWER," Lee wrote on Instagram. "RADIO RAHEEM WILL ALWAYS BE FIGHTING DA POWERS DAT BE. MAY GOD WATCH OVER BILL NUNN."

LONDON (AP) — Jon Hamm, a St. Louis native, says he hopes "cooler heads prevail" in the Missouri city of Ferguson and "people come through it for the better."
Talking about the riots that followed the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer, Hamm says "it's difficult to watch because it's my hometown."
But the "Mad Men" star supports the protesters. He says "they have a legitimate reason to protest and they're exercising their right to do that and so hopefully, in the end, people will come through it stronger."
He said cities should not "be measured on how they have failed, but how they get through and how they clean up after their mistakes."
Hamm was in London for a screening Thursday of the movie "Million Dollar Arm."

Nitrate Content in Potatoes Cultivated in Contaminated Groundwater Areas
- Alenka Gorenjak
- Davorin Urih
- Tomaz Langerholc
- Janja Kristl
For a number of years Dravsko polje plain has been subject to intensive farming. Consequently, groundwater in this area is heavily contaminated with nitrates and pesticides. The goal of the study was to determine the quality of potatoes, based on nitrate levels cultivated in an area of contaminated groundwater. We also examined the influence of sustainable agriculture on the quality of crops. Nitrate content was determined using RP/HPLC/UV chromatography. Average nitrate content in potatoes cultivated on Dravsko polje plain was 157 mg/kg (range 18-429 mg/kg), which was not significantly different from the nitrate content in potatoes cultivated outside the contaminated area (mean value 145 mg/kg; range 28-448 mg/kg). In 18% of all samples, nitrate content exceeded maximum recommended levels. In potatoes cultivated via integrated production nitrate content did not significantly differ from the one in conventionally cultivated potatoes. In contrast, organic potatoes contained lower levels of nitrates (range 14-156 mg/kg). Our results also show that individual potato varieties are characterized by different trends of nitrate accumulation. Strict adherence to sustainable agriculture is reflected in lower levels of nitrate in potatoes.

The past is no indication of Japanese trade barriers
The free-trade proposal that's on the table between Japan and the United States and other countries has been a flash point because Japan's critics have grave doubts that the Japanese government will allow American cars to sell there unencumbered.
If only the Japanese government would stop making it difficult to import autos with regulations and currency manipulation, there would be more Chevys, Dodges and Fords on the streets of Tokyo.
They point to past efforts to sell U.S.-brand vehicles in Japan, and those results were dismal. So there, they say, is your proof.
But the past is hardly an indication of the future.
The past saw General Motors try to sell Saturns there. But it was 1997 -- Japan was in a recession, and Saturn only opened eight stores for the entire country. Not to mention that Saturn was branded as a Japan-fighting "Hooray, we're American" company. Why would Japanese consumers find that attractive?
In the past, Chrysler exported the Neon to Japan, but it was aimed at a hotly contested piece of the Japanese car market where Toyota already fights tooth and nail to make its money.
Ford tried exporting the Taurus to Japan. It was too big to fit into the typical parking space in Japan, where the biggest market segment is for mini cars that the Detroit 3 had no interest in producing.
U.S. trade representatives pressed Japanese leaders to persuade Japanese car dealers to agree to sell U.S. brands. Many Japanese dealers balked. In that respect, Japanese businesspeople are no different than Americans. Can you imagine the reaction of a Ford dealer if the U.S. government tried to persuade him to take on a Suzuki franchise to help struggling Suzuki compete in the U.S. market?
Are these really trade barriers? Or are they evidence that America's automakers just -- perhaps -- have always had more pressing interests elsewhere?

It's a fact that the Velvet Underground's first release only sold in the thousands. It's widely rumored that nearly everyone who did buy that fateful 1967 full-length, The Velvet Underground and Nico, was so inspired by what they heard that they would eventually form a band.
Not only has scene stalwart Henning Ohlenbusch heard said rumor, but as he prepares to pull double duty at the Lou Reed tribute show slated for the Iron Horse this Thursday, Jan. 9 by performing with both his School for the Dead and The Fawns, he says he certainly gets it.
"I was barely a teen when my brother told me about everyone buying Velvet and starting bands," he recalls. "Little did he know that I'd end up dedicating most of my life to being in bands. But I've been playing Lou's songs since I've been playing guitar. I'm a big fan, and I'm not only excited to be performing but I also can't wait to see what everyone else does."
Ray Mason of fellow participants The Lonesome Brothers revealed that he'll probably educate as much as entertain with his proposed setlist.
"We're playing both sides of a single that Lou had in 1962 under the name Lewis Reed," he explains. "The titles are 'Your Love' and 'Merry Go Round'… kind of doo-wop, rock 'n' roll, pre-Beatles."
"I still say The Beatles and the Velvet Underground contain all I really need in my musical diet," adds The Fawns/School for the Dead skinman Brian Marchese. "Like a lot of the most fascinating pop stars, Lou invited academic analysis because he was a master at the art of contradiction, like Dylan. And so the joke was always on the ones who took everything he said as gospel. That whole 'more than two chords and you risk playing jazz' quote is such a joke if you're a musician who has ever tried figuring out, say, "Candy Says.' Lot of chords there, Mr. 'Keep It Simple.'"
Although The Winterpills' Philip Price is the first to admit he came late to the Lou Reed party personally, he notes that once he got it, he's been all in ever since.
"A punk and a romantic, rebellion and straight-up grit and harmonic joy, minimal but also deceptively complex, full of street and noise and wisdom and an open-hearted love of art," Price says of Reed and his work.

In other news, congrats to Western Mass.' Killswitch Engage for the second Grammy nomination in the local metalmeisters' storied career. The band will compete against Volbeat, Anthrax, Black Sabbath and Dream Theater in the Best Metal Performance category for its tune "In Due Time."
"It's refreshing to see metal being noticed by the Grammys and we hope in the future it receives even more exposure and recognition," the five-piece said of the honor in a jointly released statement.
Last but not least, Maxxtone frontman Aaron Fay checked in to crow about his recent Springfield Falcon experience.
"Definitely one for the musical bucketlist," he says of performing the national anthem with six-stringer Pete Maserati prior to the Dec. 26 home game. "It started when I met the team's vice president of business development during a Fat Cat gig over the summer. Turns out, he recognized me from Orange Crush when we had played his college 13 years ago. Business cards were exchanged, and the rest, as they say, was history!"
Fay, Maserati and Maxxtone will return to Springfield Thursday, Jan. 16 when they host their patented Rock Star Karaoke series at Theodores' downtown.•

The Mortgage Bankers Association of America (MBA) has released data indicating that as much as $26 billion in fourth-quarter 2001 commercial real estate financing is at risk without federal government support in obtaining property and casualty insurance against future terrorist attacks. This MBA estimate does not include loans originated by commercial banks that comprise 40% to 50% of the market.
"Without terrorism insurance coverage, commercial lenders will be forced to either delay or prevent real estate projects from going forward. That could include everything from financing, buying or selling a shopping center to constructing a new office or apartment building," said James Murphy, MBA chairman. He said the group is asking Congress to consider the real estate industry's contribution to the national economy by supporting terrorism insurance subsidized by the federal government.
The real estate industry accounts for 12% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product and employs nearly 8.5 million people, including construction jobs. The commercial real estate debt totals approximately $1.6 trillion.
Prior to Sept. 11, the real estate industry projected commercial real estate mortgage activity for 2001 to reach $113 billion. This estimate includes mortgages provided by the commercial mortgage back securities (CMBS), life insurance companies and government sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Insurance concerns have already resulted in the curtailment of new issuance in the CMBS market and the secondary trading of these securities. Preceding the attacks, the CMBS industry was heading for a near-record year of approximately $80 to $85 billion of issuance. It had already issued $58.5 billion, or about $7.3 billion monthly. On Sept. 18, it was reported that 26 real estate deals totaling $22.8 billion were projected to price by year-end. However, CMBS issuance levels over the last six weeks are reported to have reached $3.8 billion, which represents a severe reduction in CMBS market activity. In addition, secondary trading of CMBS has yet to resume its normal level due to continued erratic markets. "In these uncertain times, we do not need uncertainty in terrorism insurance," said Rodrigo Lopez, Chairman of MBA's Commercial Real Estate/Multifamily Finance Board of Governors Legislative Committee. "What we need immediately is meaningful and equitable legislation that addresses the insurance problems that the real estate industry now faces."

Much like Amy and Nick, the fractured married couple at the center of Gillian Flynn's breakout novel "Gone Girl," the author herself is good at keeping secrets.
In recent months, rumors have swirled around the highly anticipated film adaptation of the book, which Reese Witherspoon will produce (she also might star). Most recently, David Fincher ("Fight Club," "The Social Network") surfaced as a potential director. For now, though, the Kansas City, Mo.-born Flynn, who lives in Ukrainian Village, has little choice but to keep her lips sealed.
"I'm really not trying to be coy," said the author, who headlines a night of music and readings at the Metro on Thursday, March 21. "It's really out of respect for everyone who's working on the movie right now. Hopefully in the next month I'll be able to talk about it quite a bit."
Flynn, 41, did open up about an array of other subjects in a recent phone interview, including her complete lack of musical prowess, the influence cable news had in shaping elements of "Gone Girl" and the daunting task of following up her breakout work.
Since this event is taking place at Metro, I was wondering if you ever aspired to be a musician.
I have absolutely no musical talent. I was the dorky kid who always wanted to be a writer.
So you won't be singing any passages from the book then?
[Laughs] If I could set some of it to music that would be something. I do have Nick and Amy's iPod playlists all figured out. That was one of the things I did as I tried to figure them out as characters. I feel like you can grab someone's iPod or look in their Netflix queue and get a glimpse at what you're dealing with.
Do you listen to music when you write?
I'm a silence person. I don't have anything on. I'm not one of those people who can write in a coffeehouse. I'm in my dark little basement with no music, and often I even have earplugs in because I'm so easily distracted.
How's work coming on the "Gone Girl" screenplay?
I knew it was going to be challenging, but it's been even moreso than I thought it would be, just disassembling it and putting it back together as a screenplay. There are certain scenes from the book where even as I was writing them I was like, "If there's a movie, this will be in it."
Are there any scenes or characters that may have taken on a bigger role in the screenplay than in the book?
You know, I'm really attached to certain support characters, like [Detective Rhonda] Boney, and getting to play with her a bit more has been fun.
I can't even imagine the coverage Nancy Grace would give the case at the heart of "Gone Girl" if it were real.
[Laughs] Exactly. I kind of reverse-engineered part of the story. I was like, "What exactly is the thing that would appeal to the media?" The significance of an anniversary. Amy's backstory. I thought about it the way a journalist would think about it. "What would be those key things that would propel it from a local story to the national media?"
Do you follow Nancy Grace on Twitter? She's turned the hashtag into this almost surrealist art form with things like #murderforpizza and #toofattokill.
Oh god.
If she had to summarize "Gone Girl" in a hashtag what do you think she'd use?
Oh, she would hate Nick, so I bet she'd give him a nickname. It'd be something like #prettyboy [laughs].
Why do you think you tend to be drawn to these darker, more violent subjects?
It's an interesting question. I was one of those kids who loved being scared from the get-go. I love that sense of being out of my skin with fear. It's probably because I did have a very safe childhood and a very happy childhood. I also had a dramatic curiosity about everything, so I could explore that curiosity and look at those darker sides and know I could go back to a pretty safe and normal place. I like to take any situation and say, "What is the worst thing that could happen here?" That certainly informs my writing, particularly on "Gone Girl." It was like, "What is the worst way this thing can go?"
What's the first thing you remember terrifying you as a child?
My first big memory was watching "Alien." I was 9 or 10, and I remember being in the theater with my parents and being incredibly frightened. At the same time I couldn't leave, so my mom went with me and we sat with our backs against the wall of the movie theater because it made me feel safer. I was very proud of staying till the very end.
When Random House extended your contract last year it also included a deal for your first young adult novel. Since wizard and vampires have already been spoken for what does that leave you? Teen leprechauns? Yeti?
[Laughs] The great unsung Yeti novel is somewhere in me. First off, people were like, "A [young adult] novel? Have they ever read your book? I don't want my child reading anything that comes out of your brain!" But I grew up reading some of those great old books by people like Lois Duncan, who wrote psychological thrillers for kids. They were very connectable, but they were frightening at the same time. I'm hoping to do something like that.
Does the success of "Gone Girl" make the idea of writing your next adult novel more daunting?
It definitely does. I felt a similar way when I worked on my second book, which was, "OK, I knew I could write one book, but can I do another?" You have all these voices in your head. "Is it too much like the last one? Is it not enough like the last one? Can you match it?" Whatever I'm going to do right now is going to be judged next to "Gone Girl," and my job as a writer is to try to ignore all that as best I can. My hope is once I get a little breathing space I can go back into my very dark, soundproof little room and get to work on something that interests me. I think if you stick to writing whatever gives you that fire in the belly, most other things sort themselves out.
Gillian Flynn at Literary Rock 'n' Roll: Girl Trouble
6:15 p.m. Thursday, March 21 at Metro, Free
Gillian Flynn personality test
What's the last album you bought? "It was Spider Bags."
Song you've listened to on repeat recently? "Those really poppy songs are the ones that tend to go on repeat. I know what it was, it was the Ting Tings' 'That's Not My Name.' "
Song you never want to hear again? "The Ting Tings' 'That's Not My Name' [laughs]."
Best concert you've seen in the last year? "I don't know that I've been to one in the last year. You find out what your pop culture obsession is, like I still make time to see movies in the theater. If I have a free evening that's probably where we're going to go."
New author you don't know personally that deserves to be big? "I'd say Ashley Ream. She wrote this book called 'Losing Clementine' that I thought had this big-ass voice to it, and I can't wait to see what she does next."
Favorite movie ever? "I think I have to go with 'Jaws.' I love it. I have almost every bit of dialogue memorized. I think it's one of the most perfectly put together movies ever. And I've got a huge Richard Dreyfuss crush, so what's not to like?"

Wrestling/Scouting Fox Valley sectionals
No more team stuff from here on out. It's all about booking your own ticket into the 16-man bracket at Assembly Hall and the IHSA individual state wrestling tournament.
This weekend, the top 4 from each weight class in sectional tournaments advance into the Class 3A and 2A state tournament in Champaign, which begins in the late afternoon next Thursday. Last year, five wrestlers from the Fox Valley area medaled, including Tom Gerszewski (Crystal Lake South) and Josh Symbal from Huntley, who have moved onto the collegiate level at UW-Whitewater and Augustana respectively to continue to compete
One of the truly magical times of the season is about to begin, for some, more memorable than for others. The collective quality at all four sites is impossible to rate, so here's a brief look at a handful of divisions to keep an eye on which feature area qualifiers.
Class 3A at Barrington
When: Friday, 5 p.m.; Saturday: 9 a.m., 3 p.m. finals.
The lowdown: Always one of the most highly competitive of the four sectionals in the state this season, of course, is no different with the addition of DeKalb to the guest list, as well as NIC-10 and state powers Harlem and Hononegah back once again, along with regional champions Barrington, Grant and New Trier, plus a cast of marvelous individual talent from all around the northern half of the state.
Harlem, which outscored its longtime rival for the third time in three weeks to lift the regional trophy, brings a tourney-high 11 wrestlers into the competition following its 49-point victory at Huntley, while both New Trier and Hononegah will have nine in action.
The host Broncos, who edged Deerfield in the final match of the regional, will dress nine as will the Warriors and Cary-Grove, which comes as no surprise when looking at the final tally at the Lake Zurich venue.
Sophomore Michael Cullen (39-0), the heartbeat of FVC runner-up Cary-Grove since making his debut with the Trojans last season, is a superb young talent, whose class on the mat is unsurpassed, and likely the reason the sophomore will cruise past the competition this weekend, and into what appears to be one of the top divisions in Champaign next weekend.
"It's a challenge that I've been looking forward to ever since this season began, but I also know it gets tougher with each match, but I am ready for the challenge ahead," says Cullen, who won it all here last year before going to claim a 4th-place medal in Champaign.
Weight watching: 106 -- No. 6 Austin Ryan (Jacobs, 32-2), John Cullen (Cary-Grove, 31-10), Nick Meyer (Huntley, 28-14), No. 5 Travis Piotrowski (Prairie Ridge, 35-1), No. 7 Andrew Mehrholz (Deerfield, 36-2), Adam Zacharuk (Harlem, 24-11), Anthony Munoz (Zion-Benton, 31-7), Nich Koch (Grant, 33-7), Mitch Stakakis (Barrington, 24-14). Ryan bounced back from a heartbreaking loss on his home mats in the FVC final to Piotrowski to win a third consecutive regional title. The junior is on the opposite side of the bracket from his rival from Prairie Ridge.
132 -- Eric Barone (Crystal Lake South, 32-6), Kevin Conrad (Barrington, 29-11), No. 9 Brian Egan (Buffalo Grove, 31-1), Gresh Henderson (Lake Zurich, 35-6), Israel Santiago (Warren, 21-2), No. 3 Doug Johnson (DeKalb, 36-1), No. 10 Abel Rios (Zion-Benton, 29-1), Alex McKenna (New Trier, 32-9), Jordan Pierson (Hononengah, 36-6), Brad Oldick (McHenry, 29-10). A wicked weight class that features four returning state qualifiers, including Johnson from DeKalb, who last season finished third at the 2A tournament, and enters this weekend with a sparkling 155-21 career record. CL South sophomore Barone may have caught a break as he finds himself on the other side of the bracket, and away from the state-ranked trio, but he's also one win away from facing MSL and regional champ Conrad tonight.
195 -- Brandon Mabry (Huntley, 32-5), Kevin Barbian (Libertyville, 35-7), Jared Lalanda (Grant, 32-7), Deon Rice (Hersey, 30-8), Jackson Wrede (Prospect, 23-14), No. 10 Sage Hecox (Harlem, 17-3), Jim Kirby (Deerfield, 30-9). The Red Raiders' Mabry had hoped to tangle with No. 10 Hecox in his regular-season finale at the Antioch super-duals, but when that didn't materialize, it meant a sure date with the Harlem junior in the regional final. "Mabry (15 pins) was up 6-4 with a minute to go, then Sage sent him for a ride, so we know we're right there with one of the best," says Huntley head coach, BJ Bertelsman. The two could face each other once again on Saturday evening in the final if all goes well for both.
220 -- Ray Griggel (Dundee-Crown, 12-4), Nick Huff (Cary-Grove, 30-11), Connor Haran (Grant, m 36-8), Jack Bornhofen (Barrington, 30-9), Frank Walter (Prospect, 32-6), No. 5 Kailor Hecox (Harlem, 31-5), No. 7 Jacob Suter (GBS, 31-2), John Benson (New Trier, 36-7). "There are no easy matches at a 3A sectional, especially this one. But if Ray wrestles like we know he can, then he has a great chance to get downstate," says Chargers head coach Bob Skillman. "The FVC did well at other regionals at 220, so that's a good sign, because (Ray) was the conference champ. But you don't get downstate without beating 1-2 excellent opponents, and that will be the case for our guy." Griggel opens with Grant's big man Haran where a victory puts him against conference rival, and regional champ Nick Huff.
Friday fun: 106 -- Cullen vs. Munoz: Off the opening bell of this tournament, this bout will give the Cary-Grove freshman a chance to avenge an earlier 3-1 loss to the Zion-Benton junior.
285 -- Jeramey Dermont (Cary-Grove, 26-15) vs. Sawyer McCaffery (Warren, 32-7): This weight class is awash with exceptional individual talent, far too many to just send four downstate. Dermont has been coming on of late, witnessed by a strong performance during the regional final with the 2012 state qualifier Calamari. A victory in this opening bout puts the Trojans' senior up against two-time sectional qualifier, Jared Carlton (24-8) from Harlem.
126 -- No. 2 Jordan Northrup (Harlem, 37-1) vs. No. 5 Nick Gil (CLS, 36-4). If all goes to form, it will be another championship match between these two stars, the first going to Northrup last weekend in the Huntley final where the Harlem senior came away with a hard-fought 2-1 decision to grab a first-round bye here. The nationally ranked (No. 20) Northrup was the state champion at 113 last year.
Class 3A at Maine East
When: Friday, 5:30 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m., 4:45 p.m. finals
The lowdown: Sal Annoreno, Sal Annoreno, Sal Annoreno. The reigning 138-pound state champ from Bartlett is still the talk of the area one year after capturing his championship ring following a fiercely contested three days which resulted in his near flawless victory over Cullen Cummings of Downers Grove North.
Cummings has been rated just a click above the Hawks' star all year long, and atop the 138-pound division, but the DGN two-sport star lost in the regional finals to Juwan Edmond of Hinsdale Central. The NIU-bound Annoreno's lone blemish on an otherwise dazzling 27-1 record came at the hands of Chris Garcia (Montini), the No. 1 rated 38-pounder in 2A
Bartlett head coach John O'Brien says his top man is ready to go, and after a dominating performance at the Glenbard North regional, it appears to be so.
The same goes for Tom Stewart at Elgin, who watched four of his men reach this venue, including the power-packed lower weight duo of Jeffrey Morrow and Zach McCullough (113, 27-3) along with Tyler Von Essen (120, 18-13) and veteran Richie Santana, who like Morrow is making his second straight sectional appearance.
"This is an exciting time for us and the Elgin program, and it's great to see all of the hard work put in by these guys has paid off thus far," said Stewart.
Weight watching: 106 -- No. 12 Morrow (Elgin, 27-3), Logan Gruszka (Schaumburg, 32-7), Danny Madonia (Conant, 27-7), No. 9 Ryan Rubino (St. Charles East, 31-4), No. 10 Robert Campos (OPRF, 33-8), Patrick Augustyn (Glenbard North, 36-5), Carlos Fuentez (Glenbard East). "Jeff didn't wrestle his match in that (4-0) loss to Augustyn from Glenbard North, so he had to take a tougher route through wrestlebacks last weekend to reach the sectionals, but I can tell you he's up for the challenge this weekend," offered Stewart. The junior is on course to face Rubino Saturday morning in the semis.
126 -- Cory Pych (South Elgin, 28-6), Alex Curtis (Streamwood, 27-8), No. 1 Jered Cortez (Glenbard North, 41-0), No. 3 Isiah White (OPRF, 40-1), No. 10 Tyler Svetska (West Chicago, 31-6), Jake Drew (Glenbard East, 32-5), Terry Calkins (Maine South, 27-3, 31-6), Matt Rowland (Willowbrook, 37-6). When the nation's 4th-ranked wrestler (Cortez) is in your bracket, everyone else is playing for the rest of remaining spots available, including the senior Pych, who is looking to book his second straight trip downstate. "When you look at the brackets a little closer, I (now) feel that things in the early going work well for Cory (76 takedowns, 98 near-fall points), and after that, things are always going to get more difficult," said Storm head coach Mark Cameron, who is extremely proud of senior William Aleman (160) and his advancement here as well. "William is one of those kids every coach roots for, and the reason you get into coaching. His work ethic, both in the room and classroom, and passion for the sport makes it all worthwhile."
132 -- Duke Bogicevic (Larkin, 26-11), Benny Clifford (Conant, 32-4), No. 5 Johnny Gosinski (Glenbard North, 31-5), No. 7 Isaiah Vela (St. Charles East, 32-3), No. 2 Larry Early (OPRF, 39-0). The decision to bump his star player up and away from the star-filled class at 126 pounds proved genius for Larkin head coach Steve Hoyt after Bogicevic grabbed a third-place medal behind Gosinski and Vela at the Glenbard North regional. "We're thrilled the gamble to move Duke up a weight paid off for him, but we know he has some tough work still ahead of him," said Hoyt. "Both Duke (14 pins) and Alex Duran (145, 22-16) have been very good this year, going from 16 wins between last year to 48 this season, so the experience they gain this weekend will go a long way." Hoyt's only real disappointment was to see his terrific senior, Kory Plate (182, 21-14) fall short in his sectional qualifying match.
195 -- Richie Santana (South Elgin, 28-3), No. 12 Matt Stopka (Schaumburg, 32-6), Kellen Cleveland (Wheaton North, 34-3), Ammar Al-Ghoul (Glenbard East, 28-12), Danny Tomasello (Addison Trail, 24-8), No. 6 Andre Lee (OPRF, 29-7), Noah Fleckenstein (York, 4-3)."Richie got away from what he does so well in his regional final against (Kellen) Cleveland and big, tall opponent who can use that leverage to his advantage. But he knows it, and he'll be ready to go on Friday," said Stewart.
Friday fun: Santana vs. Tomasello (Addison Trail): The Maroons' captain, with a win over Tomasello, would like nothing more to get a shot at the state-ranked Lee during the evening session, knowing his hard-fought loss to Ryan Berg from Naperville Central (3-2) in the Hoffman Estates final puts him on par with Lee, who defeated the No. 12 ranked Berg by the same 3-2 decision.
Class 2A at Antioch
When: Friday 4:30 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m., 4:30 p.m. finals.
The lowdown: Hampshire's youth movement made another step forward in its development after a quartet of varsity newcomers all went through from its own regional, alongside its captain, Travis Keeling, who advanced at 170 pounds for coach Terry Wilkinson.
"This will be a great experience for all of these guys," said Wilkinson. "Finding success in this tournament will go a long way for their future, and the future of our program."
Wilkinson is anxious to watch how his freshman duo of Kyle Szienik (106, 19-12) and Wylie Allen (23-16) fair in their first time out, as well as sophomore heavyweight, Gabe Reyes (10-9) whose pin at 5:05 in his sectional qualifying match helped put him through.
"For a kid who won just a few JV matches, then go on to be a sectional qualifier, it's just real exciting, and we're all very proud of Gabe," Wilkinson said.
The same goes for another sophomore, Anton Krocko (27-7), who also pinned his way to Antioch last weekend.
"I like the way how things shake out for him this weekend, he's young, but he always seems to find a way to win," offered Wilkinson, who will watch his 182-pounder open with Zach Eckstrom (Vernon Hills, 28-15).
Weight watching: 170 -- Travis Keeling (Hampshire, 33-6), No. 2 Andrew Marsden (CLC, 36-4), No. 3 Michael Maduko (Montini, 18-12),. Keeling opens with another senior, Mike Falger (13-5) from Carmel, and is one victory away from meeting Maduko, a seasoned pro from the wrestling rich program of 2A team state champion Montini.
"It's an old cliché, but it really is all about taking one match at a time. For me this week, the focus will be working from the bottom, where I struggled to do much of anything against (Andrew) Marsden in my final at regionals against him," said Keeling, who hopes to attend the University of Chicago next fall, and continue to wrestle, and perhaps begin his studies in the field of medicine.
The Whip-Purs' senior, who is ranked 15th in a class of 275, was a sectional qualifier a year ago, and finished with 21 victories.
Class 2A at Rochelle
When: Friday 4:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m., 2 p.m. finals.
The lowdown: If the IHSA is thinking about corporate sponsorship to help fill its coffers, this site could easily be dubbed the Mileage Plus sectional. The competition trail stretches from the far western part of the state (Geneseo), to Peoria, Rock Island, Wheaton, and parts all the way around and through small towns very few could find on the map.
Burlington Central is the lone representative from the area, and just two Rockets advanced from regional play at Sycamore, where the hosts enjoyed a successful day with 10 qualifiers, six of them individual champions.
Weight watching: 132 -- Brady Weinrich (Burlington Central, 32-10) No. 3 Esai Ponce (Kaneland, 30-4), No. 5 Stephen Richardson (Pontiac, 33-3), No. 7 Chase Wiggins (Rock Island, 30-6), No. 8 Rudy Meneweather (Washington, 35-7). The Rockets' captain was here two years ago, and the disappointment of not advancing last season has stayed with him. Weinrich was within one victory of a berth downstate in his sophomore season.
"I agree that missing out last year was all the motivation he needed this year, but he's always been a hard worker, who has competed and trained during the offseason," says Rockets' first-year head coach Vince Govea. "He flat out puts the time in, and that's why he will be successful. You can see the focus and determination each time he steps into the room, and I think that's where the biggest improvement has come this year."
170 -- Craig Kein (Burlington Central, So, 21-10), No. 5 Brandon Mizlo (Geneseo, 30-5), No. 6 Michael Cole (Rock Island, 29-6), No. 8 Marcus Murphy (East Moline United, 23-5), No. 9 Martex Cox (Peoria, 36-1). Kein's first sectional appearance finds the sophomore in a state-ranked filled side of the bracket, including his first-rounder with Mizlo, who was the NI Big 12 Conference champ this season.
