Arguably the best and most important free agency pickup the Chiefs have made since Scott Pioli became GM was the signing of RT Eric Winston.
By landing Winston, the Chiefs were able to turn a team weakness into a strength. In a way, the Chiefs were very fortunate that Winston was even available. Players of his caliber are rarely cut, however sometimes salary cap situations force teams to part with a player they would rather retain. In this instance, Winston was a casualty in Houston.
Peter King of SI.com asked Winston to write a bit about what it is like to be a veteran cap casualty for his MMQB column today. Winston has some very interesting things to say and he especially shed a lot of light on what it was like to be recruited by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City was aggressive from the start. When a team schedules a visit, you usually receive a call from the general manager, head coach or position coach telling you how excited they are that you are coming in and how interested they are in you. With the Chiefs, I received calls from all three of them. They made it clear that I was a priority and that I needed to make sure that I got on the plane from Miami and make it to Kansas City.
Often accused of not being aggressive enough (by me) in free agency, it appears as though the Chiefs pulled out all the stops for Winston. Every player is different but it appears in the case of Winston, the extra effort went a long way.
Another interesting nugget from Winston's write up is that the Chiefs plan to continue running a zone-blocking scheme.
Knowing that a new offense was being installed had me wondering what kind of offense would be coming in. The offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, has traditionally run more of a "power or gap" blocking scheme and the line coach, Jack Bicknell Jr., who just came over from the Giants, has done the same. Now, I feel like I could be successful in any scheme, but I really have grown to love running the zone scheme and understand it well. So going in I wasn't expecting to hear that the Chiefs would run a zone-blocking scheme, but that's exactly what I heard. That was like icing on the cake to what had been an already positive visit.
It is good to know that despite having yet another offensive coordinator, the Chiefs will have some continuity on offense. The Chiefs have been running a zone-blocking scheme for a while now so Winston should be able to step right in and get to work. The scheme suites runners like Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster who can make a lot happen with small creases provided by the offensive line.
For the Chiefs to win in 2012 they are going to need to heavily rely on their running game. The Chiefs have much more talent on both sides of the ball than they did in 2010 when they won the AFC West. Should the team stay healthy in 2012, there is a chance they could return to the top of the division.

My Zoo is a collection of animals in white cardboard, which will be on the market disassembled and therefore the various pieces have to be folded and assembled. Once this figures have been assembled, they can be drawn in pastels, in wax, tempera or water colours, as you like most. Elephant, giraffe, lion and dromedary are really very big .... and you can even enter the whale mouth to reach its belly, to do a very long trip, up to the reality boundaries. However, all animals are good, they do not bit, they do not weigh and moreover they can be recycled as they are made of cardboard.

Starting back in 2000, Cool Cat Studios debuted online and thus began the illustrious webcomic career of one artist Gisèle Lagacé. That series came to an end in 2007, but Gisèle by that time was involved in other projects. Part of Penny & Aggie until 2009, she currently works on Ménage à 3 and Eerie Cuties. A very dynamic creator Ms. Lagacé will also be starting a new spin-off series from Eerie Cuties called Magick Chicks beginning in January of 2011. All of the webcomics mentioned above are available in print, manga sized, except Eerie Cuties – but that one's first book is currently in the pre-order stage and will be out in November.
Despite a heavy workload, In Genre was gifted with a little bit of the talented Gisèle's time as she answered a few questions for us! Enjoy!
In Genre – Cool Cat Studio, Penny & Aggie, Ménage à 3 and now Eerie Cuties… you are quite a prolific artist. But at the beginning – was Cool Cat Studio your first attempt at a webcomic?
Gisèle Lagacé – Yes. I had been wanting to do a comic for a while at that point, and when I saw other cartoonists posting their comics to the web, it really motivated me to do the same. Since it was my first comic, I went with the "write what you know" approach (I worked as a graphic designer at the time.)
IG – How did you hook up with your collaborator on Penny & Aggie?
GL – T Campbell & I actually started working together about a year into Cool Cat Studio. He had contacted me to talk about writing, and we hit it off. I was needing a break from writing, as I was extremely busy at work, so T took over the writing chores on CCS, and then later again in 2007, once we took the project off a 5 year hiatus to complete it. In 2004, 2 years in my hiatus from CCS, I had the itch again to do a comic, so I came up with the idea of Penny & Aggie. I was still fairly busy with my day job, so I contacted T Campbell to see if he'd want to write it, and he gladly did. The rest is history.
IG – What was the reason you stopped working on Penny & Aggie?
GL – I had drawn it for 5 years, and was wanting to do something else. With one of the major arcs concluding, the timing felt right. Drawing takes a lot of time, so when you have all these projects in your head that you'd like to do, you eventually have to step away from one (or end one) if you want to do everything you'd like to do.
IG – Ménage à 3 has a definite risqué edge to it compared to your previous works. What made you decide to take that extra step?
GL – It wasn't really a conscious decision. I just liked the idea, and the thought of doing something a little bit wackier appealed to me.
IG – Eerie Cuties is your most recent webcomic project. Where did the idea for this series come from?
GL – I had been reading a lot of 4-koma (japanese 4 panel strip) manga, and really liked the idea of following a group of girls in school (it seemed to be a formula in the 4-koma's I've read.) The original intent was for it to be super cute, but it ended up being a mixture of things. I went with monsters 'cause it was something I had never done. I like trying new things.
IG – What comic book artists (and writers, if you like) have most influenced your work?
GL – I like many artists, but at the top of that list would be Dan DeCarlo (art) and Rumiko Takahashi (art & writing).
IG – In a similar frame, what are some other media that you really liked, such as novels or movies, that helped influence your style?
GL – I like romantic comedies such as Raising Arizona, Moonstruck and A Fish Called Wanda. I also like most of the stuff by Kevin Smith, Adam Sandler, Quentin Tarantino, and Robert Rodriguez (I'm sure I'm forgetting some.) Novels… aside from a bit of Stephen King and Anne Rice, I don't read that many.
IG – Outside of your own work and that of your past and present collaborators (T Campbell, Dave Zero1), what webcomics do you currently enjoy reading?
GL – I don't follow any on a regular basis. Dave points me to a couple here & there (Sinfest, Cyanide & Happiness, Gunshow, etc) when he finds it funny. I also try and catch up on Luann once in a while (that's one I often discuss with T Campbell). I also keep up with Rin-ne by Takahashi over at ShonenSunday.com.
IG – Other than webcomics, what kind of entertainment do you normally enjoy?
GL – Comics, manga, movies & music are probably what interest me the most.
IG – You were once part of a band named Barbarella (I assume named after the comic from the French cartoonist Jean-Claude Forest's comic series as opposed to the movie?) – do you ever miss your days as a musician?
GL – When my boyfriend came up with the name, he knew of both the movie and the comic, so it doesn't really matter. LOL
Yeah, I sometimes miss my days as a musician, but cartooning satisfies me just the same. Both are oddly similar to me. You follow beats in music, and story beats in comics.
Thank you so much, Gisèle! Looking forward to seeing what Magick Chicks has in store for us!

Editor's note: Three Republicans are competing for their party's nomination for the Arizona Senate in District 4, which covers most of the Northwest Valley and parts of Glendale and Peoria. The seat is held by Jack Harper, who is prohibited from seeking re-election because of term limits. Harper is running for the Arizona House in District 4. Tony Bouie owns several businesses. Scott Bundgaard is a business owner and a former state senator. Shawn Kohner is a native Arizonan and a Realtor. The primary election is Aug. 24. Early voting begins July 29.
Less government is better government
By Tony Bouie
In August, we will make a choice on the direction of our state: Do we want to go backwards and elect the "good ol' boy" candidates, or do we want to move forward with new conservative leadership?
I am a small-business owner who has started several businesses and understands the rigors of running a business in this uncertain economy. I hold several patents, sit on national boards and know that less government is better government.
Our government is failing us because career politicians care more about their next election than what is good for Arizona.
As your next state senator, I will take the lead in bringing jobs back to Arizona, reducing taxes, fixing education and protecting the Constitution. I will stand firm against attempts to increase your taxes and the needless waste of your tax dollars. I am a strong supporter of a secure border and cracking down on illegal immigration.
Most importantly, I'm committed to serving you.
You deserve a strong conservative voice standing up for you at the Legislature, doing what is right for our state. I am committed to the principles of fiscal conservatism and limited government.
If you want a strong, principled conservative who is committed to standing up for you at the Legislature, then I ask for your vote in the primary election. Thank you.
Tony Bouie lives in Anthem. More information about his campaign is available at www.tonybouie.com.

I think she's gorgeous but do guys?I have a tight circle of friends who are as cute as they are kind. They've all been a part of my life for at least ten years — one has even had the pleasure of seeing me evolve from my days of big, explosive bangs and one-shoulder Guess overalls in high school, and homegirl isn't afraid to dust off pictures as proof.
I've watched them go through as many hairdos as they've gone through cars, boyfriends, and addresses, and individually make the transition to natural hair. They wear it in different but fabulous ways: big, wild 'fros, short and curly cuts, coils and two-strand twists. Creativity with their locks has also been somewhat of sociocultural experiment. My friends feel like they don't get as much male attention as they did before they grew their relaxers out, and if they do, it ain't by men who look like them. So it begs the question: are black dudes biased against natural hair?
Hark — I can almost hear the protesting now, especially from guys who consider themselves to be conscious and enlightened and oh so power-to-the-people. We're all beautiful, no matter what shape, size, complexion, and yes, hair texture, they'll insist. And to be fair, there are some brothers who authentically feel that way, though I'm convinced they're few and far between.
More plentiful are the dudes who don't realize or don't care that they're holding a very obvious candle for straight locks that bounce, whip, and shake. Honestly, if that kind of hair wasn't the style preferred by the majority of men, Yaki hair weave wouldn't be flying off the shelves at beauty supply stores and some poor woman somewhere out there wouldn't be frying the kinks out of her roots as I type.
We've all been pounded with the conditioning — some more than others — that one kind of hair is better than the other. From the time we're old enough to hold a thought, guys and gals are pounded with the idea that straight hair is pretty hair. Straight hair is nice hair. Straight hair is good hair. In elementary school, little boys crush on the little girls with the long, silky plaits. That's the gateway drug, and the attraction runs all the way into adulthood. And most of us, at some point in time anyway, have burned our scalps and fried our tresses to appease it. I perm my hair but I didn't always. It's a temporary style choice that I'm sure I'll get bored with sooner than later and transition out of, just like I transitioned into it.
Now more and more black women are foregoing the chemical treatments to let their hair breathe and just be. I'm excited to see so many beautiful ladies shed their wraps and rollers sets and get creative with the crown of gorgeous hair that they were born with. But with so much baggage still hanging over our community — cough, cough, like color complexes — I don't think it's completely preposterous that some black men have a hard time appreciating us in all of our natural glory.
Watch a mainstream hip-hop video, if you can stand it. At first blush, it seems like a victory to have dark-skinned girls included in the spectrum of shades representing black women's beauty. But if they're in there, best believe they've got a head full of shiny, tousle-able weave to balance it out. The day a chart-topping rapper parades an entourage of natural-haired women through his video shoot is the day I assume the post of fan club president. The message the casting sends is you can get a pass for being dark if you have long hair. Lengthy locks certainly up the beauty ante for any woman, far as that flimsy beauty standard goes.
It's not that my friends don't get compliments on their hair. They do. But it seems like something guys prefer to appreciate when it's not their woman wearing it. The Man has expressed love for my hair the way it is. Before I even started writing this post, I asked him what he'd think about me going natural. "Your hair, your decision," he said. His enthusiasm was underwhelming and honestly, not all that convincing.
If you've transitioned to natural hair, have you noticed a difference in the way men notice you? Do you think men prefer permed or straightened hair?
Image via ni_mykon/Flickr
Honestly, I do think men prefer the straight, long hair. However, I have never met a woman who liked her hair the way she was born with it. I have straight dirty blonde hair that I had long most of my childhood. And do you know what I was subjected to for at least half an hour every morning as a child? Painful brushing because it was so fine and tangled, a curling iron because straight hair is boring, and half a can of hairspray because my hair would not hold curl. I got a perm when I was eleven, and had hilights by the time I was twelve. All at my mother's insistence. And now as an adult, I get up every morning to wash, mousse, blowdry, and flat iron my hair. No one is ever satisfied with their hair. Black, white, brown or blue. No woman is satisfied with her hair.
MommaGreenhalge, let me introduce you to the first woman you've ever met who loves her natural hair: me. Nice to meet you. There is a lot about myself that I would trade with someone else if I could, but not that.
In my experience, men prefer hair long and straight.
Men like hair that they can run their fingers through. So that would explain why it seems men prefer straight hair. I have very curly hair that I always used to straighten. Men I previously have dated were always surprised to see my hair curly, they had no clue it was that way naturally. They always said they preferred it curly to straight, same with my husband. I think it just depend on the individual. One might look better with straight and another might look better with curly.
I do everything I can to hide the natural imperfections in my hair. I have a white streak RIGHT IN FRONT a-la- Lilly Munster, and it's irritatingly wavy. It waves wherever it wants to and in whatever dircetion on any given day, and then there are the kinky curly flyaways. I color it, I use $15 mousse and $25 anti-frizz serum because they are the only ones that work without killing my hair with heat or yet more chemicals outside of the hair color. The only aspect of my natural hair that I like are the color(minus the white) which is jet black and the fact that it is sooo thick & strong.
I was looking at creative hairstyles for little girls and stumbled across a site for black women who had chosen to go natural with their hair. Let me tell you, these womens hair was GORGEOUS! They had pictures as kind of a timeline from the time they first chose to go natural up to present day and I was in awe. They held conventions in Houston for support and to share hair care secrets and it was just really cool. I saw that about a year ago and still go check it out sometimes because it absolutely IS beautiful.
I have a couple african american friends that hate their natural hair. They say its hard to tame, hard to grow, and even harder to keep healthy. One of my friends told me that it has to go through a really nappy phase before it even starts to get manageable. The both wear weave.
I'm a black woman and I'm addicted to my hair extensions. I've been wearing my hair in micro braids since I was in junior high and I'm now in my 30's. I braid my own hair and the extensions are very affordable at the beauty supply store. My braids are very thin and small, the extenstions are silky straight and down to the bottom of my waist. I feel like I'm at my most gorgeous with long, straight, smooth hair. My fiance loves to run his fingers through it and play with it, I think that's adorable and love it. I've worn my hair natural before and I've also had a relaxer that straightend it but it would always end up getting nappy and puffy and then tough to comb. I love my braids because they are so easy to manage. I wash my hair in the shower with any shampoo I want and when I get out of the shower, I can just towel dry it, leave it down and let it air dry. I use a hair serum that's a light spray mist and it helps my hair stay silky and shiny. Its just so convenient and beautiful that I just can't see myself wearing my hair any other way.
Guys in general, at least in my experience, seem to have a bias toward long hair on women period, no matter what race. My husband is one of them - he looooooves it when I let my hair get long, but my hair drives me batpoop crazy and doesn't style well when it's long, so I prefer it shorter. While he likes the long hair, again, it's "Your hair, your choice."
My hair is also wavy/curly. It seems to me that guys do prefer when I blow it out, but I get the most compliments from other women when I leave it curly. Weird.

That's just one of the reasons I bathe in the skunk urine
Drumwaster sent this to me and I've decided to use it to teach you a few valuable life lessons.
Do you see the inherent dangers in this obviously very real scenario? This is just one of dozens of species of tracking animals that terrorists could use to kill innocent Americans. The razor-toothed marmocet, the spotted kinkajou (venom sacs, that's all you need to know), the Great Northern Slashing Giraffe - these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
The first lesson is that we have to elect politicians willing to secure the borders against this scourge. We not only need better border security to protect against threats like the gun-armed pygmy goat (it fires tiny, sharp projectiles out of a bone, smooth-bore barrel mounted on it's forearm. If you see one raise up on its hind legs, get down!), but we need to be pre-emptive and get over to Africa and kill every last one of these bastards.
The next lesson I want you to take away from this is scent marking. Three times a day, I bathe in skunk urine. I keep a rotating stock of skunk urine just for this purpose. I have an underground skunk farm with over 397 genetically distinct familial lines of stinkcat (as I lovingly call my little scent-shields). By changing the urine so often, I throw off the hunting elephants, who are well-known as the greatest trackers in nature, just not the strongest swimmers.
I can only pray that Darwin was wrong, because if the Carnivorous African Hunting Elephant should evolve swimming skills, you're all screwed. They have no natural predators and cannot be stopped by anything short of a nuclear blast. Some say they're from the future, sent back to kill a boy who will someday grow up to become President of the United States of America and lead the world in ridding the Dark Continent of these killer creatures. I don't know, I think they might just be hungry.

I made and delivered this pie today to a pair of friends to whom I give a dessert of the month. It's a chocolate cream pie, but the recipe comes from one of those funny church cookbooks, and it's called "Snow Ghost Cocoa Cream Pie". My boys love this dessert just based on the name!
Anyway, I even used my purple Pyrex pie pan that I bought at a flea market!

Mitsubishi Evolution Viii893 WHP667 LB-FT Of TorqueImagine the expression you'd have on your face if someone pulled into your driveway in this '03 Evo VIII, stepped out of the car and walked up to your front door with a pepperoni pizza in hand. There isn't a more definitive daily driver than a delivery vehicle, yet this extreme Mitsu actually wears that hat on a regular basis. Let's take a closer look at what makes that so astounding.
Owner Eddie Pagan of Orlando, Fla., had an interesting proposal to make to his family when he decided to build this car. Since they own a local pizzeria, he had the idea to use this car as his advertising. Knowing that the Orlando area is filled with import enthusiasts, it seemed like it would be the perfect company mascot. Being no stranger to fast cars, Eddie believed he had the know-how and the right connections to make this dream a reality. After getting the green light from his wife, he began work on the car. Before long, it became somewhat of an Orlando landmark, with car lovers from all over showing up to check out the car, and staying for a bite to eat.
Although Eddie has done a large portion of the buildup himself, this ride would never have been possible without the help of friends and sponsors. Among the list of those involved are Titan Motorsports, Central Florida Turbo, Florida Performance Machine, Gato Performance, and many others. After years of nonstop wrenching, it's now one of the fastest Evos in the world, and certainly the fastest pizza delivery vehicle. That last comment isn't a joke, Eddie actually still uses this car to deliver food when his regular drivers can't make it.
When it comes time to run down the quarter-mile, Eddie is aware that his pizza-making skills don't necessarily translate into drag-racing skills, and he's grateful to have quick-shifter Oscar Robles at the helm to pilot his car down the track.
With the tireless support of everyone involved in the project, and Oscar behind the wheel, this car has become brutally effective at the dragstrip. At the end of 2006, Eddie and crew say they snatched up the title of fastest street-driven Evo in the world by ripping out a 9.6-second quarter-mile at 146 mph. A month later, they added a 75-shot of nitrous and laid down an astonishing 9.21-second quarter-mile, at 153 mph. At speeds like that, you can bet your pizza will still be steaming when it arrives in this car.
Since a stock Evo is already quite masterful at handling, Eddie has focused primarily on building up the engine. With some of the best minds in the industry helping out, Eddie has built one of the most powerful 4G63's out there, and is capable of putting down 893 hp and 667 lb-ft of torque to the wheels.
The Evo's engine has a stout block to begin with, but for Eddie's needs, he knew he'd need further fortification. He installed forged CP Pistons and balanced Crower rods and ARP bolts, a combination he believed would be able to handle the high-boost environment. Buddy at Florida Performance Machine performed a 0.20 overbore and the stock crankshaft was balanced, micro-polished and knife-edged. This combination brings final compression to 9.1:1, an appropriate ratio to cope with the extreme pressure the turbo system is forcing into the cylinders.
Sporting a GT40R turbo with intake air kept cool by a large Gato Performance intercooler, and a cylinder head thoroughly worked over and machined by Titan Motorsports, this motor is capable of moving copious amounts of air. Excess air is dealt with through a TiAL 44mm external wastegate and atmospheric blow-off valve. The valvetrain is comprised of almost entirely Ferrea parts, including their 1mm over-sized valves, springs, retainers, keepers, and rockers. Keeping these valves moving in time is a pair of custom-spec Cosworth camshafts spun by Fidanza cam gears. Also on the head is a Wilson 80mm throttle body, being force-fed an intense charge of air through the Gato intake manifold.

The NERF Rebelle: Why Gendered Toys are the Wrong Direction
Three things you need to know first:
- I got to see this before the Toy Fair because of press privileges. So I'm writing it "then" and not "now." I'll update this if new stuff comes out from the Toy Fair.
- I am a feminist.
- I grew up with both boy and girl toys.
So Hasbro is guilty of selling gendered toys like any other toy company. MLP, Monster High and Easy Bake is for girls; NERF, action figures and Star Wars is for boys. The lines have blurred as time goes on, of course. With the brony fandom, the lines have really blurred.
Now, Hasbro is going to release a subline of the NERF guns known as NERF Rebelle.
Pictured is the HeartBreaker bow. The EW piece reads:
Hasbro is hoping to hit a bullseye with its next high-profile launch — a new brand of Nerf toys aimed specifically at girls. The line, called Nerf Rebelle, will feature projectiles that have the same power as the top items in the brand's Nerf Elite line — but come wrapped in a prettier package and designed to encourage the collaborative play Hasbro has found girls prefer. Aspiring Princess Meridas and Katniss Everdeens can own the first Rebelle product — called the Heartbreaker bow — this fall.
The article mentions that they did a lot of research to made this. But it also says
Trying to encourage girls to buy existing Nerf toys or easing up the gendered overtones of those products was never really on the table: "This is an entirely ground-up effort."
The Heartbreaker bow comes with collectable darts bearing different colors and designs; there's a Rebelle app that allows girls to play collaboratively and encourages teamwork; the bow's size and ergonomics have been tweaked so that girls as young as 6 can activate it easily.
And also
But what about that name, "Heartbreaker" — which seems to inject an element of romance that wouldn't be there if the bow were designed for boys, or even made to be gender neutral? "I think sometimes maybe adults are more concerned with these things than girls are," Frascotti said. "I think the girls we tested it with just thought it was a cool name."
So what does this all mean?
To me, it feels that Hasbro found a way to capitalize on two female archer characters, Merida from Disney/Pixar's Brave and Katniss from The Hunger Games. Hasbro said that they could have removed the heavy-handed gendered advertising with existing NERF products, but they didn't. They never even considered that option. They wouldn't allow it.
Look at some existing NERF guns.
They're mostly yellow and orange, colors that don't have a specific gender connotation to them. There's one that's blue. Sometimes they release glow-in-the-dark or clear ones. The reason why NERF guns are bright yellow and orange is to make it painfully obvious that these are toy guns. The orange cap on the tip of the barrel is a somewhat-universal sign of "toy gun."
So, why does the HeartBreaker have to be pink, white and black? Because that's what "girls want." And girls want toys that scream "HEY IM A GIRL" and separate them from "boy toys," Hasbro is saying.
If you've ever played with NERF guns, you know that "collectible darts" is complete bullshit. You're not going to get darts back. They're going to be trampled and ruined, they're going to be lost in the woods. That's why you can buy a bag of 100 for cheap, because they're disposable, just like any other round of ammunition.
Yet Hasbro feels that for girls to play, they need to have everything be pretty, including the ammo. By making it collectible, you're making it have more value. This can lead to a girl abstaining from the trigger to prevent loss of her "collectible" and therefore valuable ammo. Even the normal ammo is bright pink and teal, further segregating GI Jane from a play game of war with the GI Joes.
The name "Rebelle" is a feminized version of "rebel." But why is that needed? Why does a female rebel have to be special or different? This goes into the direct comparison of Katniss and Merida.
Let's take a look at these two role models.
Merida connects with her very masculine father because he doesn't make her do things she doesn't want to, like wear dresses or acting like a "proper lady." She does archery because he encourages her to. Her father gives her a bow, which looks the same as any other bow. Her arrows are the same as any other archer's. Her skill is impressive because that's what she's passionate about, not because she has a vagina. Her mother (in the beginning) is much like the patriarchy in that she's trying to mold Merida in what she "should," be, a proper lady who wears a pretty dress and keeps calm and reserved. Merida fights this and it causes shenanigans. At the end of the movie, Merida's mother accepts who her daughter is and lets her do whatever the hell she wants.
Merida is a rebel against patriarchy and gender roles.
Katniss is a girl who lives in an oppressive country. She hunts with a normal bow and arrow in order to keep her family from starving, as that's all she can do to help in her situation. She knowingly sacrifices herself so her little sister doesn't have to die in the Hunger Games. While she prepares for the games, she wants to make sure that people recognize her and her actions as a big proverbial middle finger to the government. Peeta wants to help her out since he loves her, but she doesn't give a shit about love. She needs to survive so she can protect her sister and her family. She does whatever she can to survive. She ONLY fosters the love interest with Peeta "for the ratings," as doing so will keep her family alive.
Katniss is a rebel against oppression.
Hasbro, I feel, only sees girls who use bows and think "Yeah, girls want to do that, too." Hasbro is missing all the subtext and complicated facets of each character. Wielding a bow doesn't make these girls rebels, it's their actions and world views that make them rebels. Neither Merida nor Katniss would use a bow that looks like the HeartBreaker because they know it'll make them more visible in the woods, and therefore an easier target. They would scoff at the notion of collectible ammo.
Hasbro says that female NERF guns are to encourage collaborative play. The two movie rebel girls don't collaborate, as it's them vs the world. Merida has to keep her father and his court from killing her mom, she has to fight with her mom to communicate her own world view, she has to fight a literal monster. Katniss has to fight every other tribute, she has to fight society, she has to fight the expectation that anyone from District 12 is a piece of shit district. No one is on their side, no one is helping them. Yet Hasbro thinks that girls pretending to be Katniss are going to want to work with others?
And finally, the name of the HeartBreaker. It paints a picture of a girl turning down a guy because she's a strong independent woman who don't need no man, that this is something to be mourn, that this is a woman to go after despite her already saying "no?" Hasbro brushes it off, saying that only "adults" are worried about the sexist connotations of a name.
Unfortunately, indoctrination into patriarchy starts young. As soon as a parent knows the gender of the baby, they unconsciously make plans for it. They paint the room pink, buy dolls and flowery bed sheets. Or they'll paint the room blue, buy race car sheets, buy a teddy bear. As children grow up, advertisements tell them that girls play with Barbie and My Little Pony, that boys play with Hot Wheels and Socker Boppers. Girls want to eat the salad at McDonald's, men buy the Baconator at Wendy's. Women are nurses and men are doctors.
It may seem like I'm over-analyzing this, but reinforcement of harmful gender norms, erasure of strong female role models and singling out and labeling of girls who "try to be one of the boys" is only further pushing women into the constrictive confines of the patriarchy. We can't expect women to be effective soldiers if we hand them pink guns as children and give boys more realistic ones. We can't expect women to be engineers if we give them pink ovens and make up sets to play with but give boys LEGOs and chemistry sets.
We can't expect to move forwards as a society if we choose to tell over 50% of the world's population that they're not worth the same as men.

There is new hope for thousands of unemployed workers going without benefits. Lawmakers have reached an agreement that retroactively extends benefits to 37,000 people.
One of those workers took her job search to a local lawmaker and got an interesting answer.
In an email, Kathryn Treadway told Rep. Stephen Laroque, R-Wayne County, "You people are a joke. You act as if it were that easy. Like oh, just go find a job, here's a list. How about this sir. How about you find someone willing to hire me."
Representative LaRoque obliged and hired Treadway to work in his front yard.
"I sympathize with everybody who is trying to find work who is truly out beating the bushes, knocking on doors and trying to find the jobs. Some folks I don't believe are doing that," says LaRoque.
Treadway disagrees. The valedictorian of her high school class and UNC graduate says she has been applying for jobs but the doors are not opening.
Treadway lost her job last year, then her unemployment benefits were cut off in April when they expired because the state did not take action.
"I feel like everybody has the wrong idea about these people who need these extended benefits, we are not asking for a simple handout, we are asking for hand-up," says Treadway.
Rep. LaRoque took Treadway's job search into his own hands and told her of several openings in the area.
"Maybe she should try Sanderson Farms which is a processing plant in Kingston, according to a website I went to they had 191 openings," says LaRoque.
Treadway says she had already applied there with no luck, and after eight heated emails, LaRoque decided if Treadway really wanted a job he would hire her to work in his yard for $8 an hour.
"I think he really thought I wasn't going to show and I was determined to do the best job that I could, to show him I was not one of the lazy constituents he was trying to say I was," said Treadway.
But the arrangement did not exactly work out, and after an hour, LaRoque says Treadway quit.
LaRoque also says Treadway was on the phone while she was supposed to be working. Treadway says she took one phone call.
LaRoque does small business loans now, but says he has had his fair share of odd jobs to pay the bills.
"From that being my experience, I feel like others should be doing the same thing," says LaRoque.
Laroque said he was honestly hoping the arrangement would work out and that he planned to give Treadway a raise and recommendations if it did.

The Lucid Amphibian And Other Mysteries Of The Amazon
The Amazon rain forest has yielded many interesting critters, but these new finds top the list when it comes to unusual animals.
Scientists from Conservation International have come back from an expedition in the Nangaritza Protected Forest in Ecuador with news of 12 previously unknown creatures and a lot of nearly extinct ones too.
Among them is a salamander that resembles E.T., a colorful lizard that looks as if it may spew fire any second, four different types of katydids and a poison dart frog.
And then there's the transparent frog, also called a glass or crystal frog. Hyalinobatrachium Pellucidum as it is known among scientists isn't a newly discovered species, but it is highly endangered.
Endemic to Ecuador, it is about the size of a fingernail when born, but as it grows, it can become as large as a grasshopper. The completely transparent creature has organs that look like red marshmallows placed in clear gelatin. Due to a fungus that is killing frogs all over the world and loss of habitat, it is slowly dying out. Finding it greatly reassured scientists that the glass frog hadn't gone extinct - yet!
The scientists also found some endangered harlequin frogs, as well as, a number of rarely seen species of birds. In times when all we read about is global warming and extinction, it's nice to hear about species actually being found and which can hopefully be saved from disappearing completely.

Earlier this year, a woman made news for putting a used, positive pregnancy test up for sale on Craigslist. We were aghast that someone would have the audacity to do this and in disbelief that anyone would actually want to buy such a thing. Turns out that plenty of people want them, and plenty of women are popping up across the country to make a pretty penny peeing on pregnancy sticks.
From Houston to Chicago and New York, there are advertisements for the positive pregnancy tests offering them for $20-40 apiece, according to the New York Daily News. Some try to market them creatively, offering options for their use. An ad from New Jersey reads: "Wanna get your boyfriend to finally pop the question? Play a trick on mom, dad, or one of your friends?"
In other cases, women are posting with stories as to why they need the tests ... or just the urine. In Dallas a woman posted a twisted desire for revenge on an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her and got another woman pregnant. She wrote:
We had been trying for another (baby). He texted and said he isn't sure who he wants to be with and I think I handled it well for what a cheating lying dog he is. I would like the last laugh out of this. I will give some girl $40.
I will come to you wherever you want to meet.
I feel her pain, but wow, what a mean trick to play on anyone. No one should go there, and no pregnant woman should want to be part of something so awful. Those tests should be sacred, not something with which to swindle or scare.
Sure it's an easy way to make money, but some things just shouldn't be for sale. A pregnant woman's pee is one of them.
Would you ever sell a positive pregnancy test? Would you buy one?

While I don't agree with the use of fake pregnancies to get back at people, I could see the practical joke side of it. Imagine having a hysterectomy and surprising your husband with a positive pregnancy test...might be hilarious if your husband has that kind of sense of humor. Either way, I don't really see how it is my business what another woman does with her pee.
WHY CUDN'T i ; THINK OF THAT???
What? Never. I am keeping the one from my last since he is my last.

News flash! Lyndon B. Johnson (D) decided to move Social Security to the general accounting fund. In fact; he said " we will never use all this money". Every President has tapped into to it! The "house for everyone program" was started by Henry Cisnero's housing secretary for Bill Clinton (D). What they did was to instruct lenders to give loans to anyone who wanted one. Bad credit or not. Lenders gambled on the notes by buying 10 good ones for 1 bad one. The practice was continued under Bush because everyone was happy. The banks were lending money, the government was making tax revenue under the program, and the home buyers because they now could afford a home. So who is to blame! Look in the mirror.

Hope you read this comment, but I've heard from a number of people that have seen Ufo's that either the next day like you or so on they actually morph into clouds and stay stational inside the cloud where you couldnt see with the naked eye, due to the the colour. But im sure that they where inside that cloud watching you.
Pitbulterrorist July 8, 2010 5:04:34 PM CEST
i've seen the other film that he filmed the ufo on and it's one of the best ufos caught on film. what you have here is a ufo in disguise it's doing abductions of some type but it's 100% real and it's there for a reason. the evidence is too overwhelming to dismiss. we have to face the facts that we are being visited by ets and our goverments are not helping the people from being targeted by these twats they would rather say that were all looney and it's in our heads BUT IT FUCKING AINT we need protecting or genisis 6 14 will happen again

How the Postwar Shift of Global Power to Washington Set the Stage for Today's Geopolitics
A new book examines the role of maps in shaping how policymakers imagined the new Middle East
Geography is destiny, and perhaps this is nowhere more true than in the Middle East. In Mapping the End of Empire, historian Aiyaz Husain argues that, while British policymakers after World War II imagined Palestine as the western end of a Muslim arc that reached into Southeast Asia, Americans viewed it as Europe's eastern edge—a difference in perception that in the years leading up to Israel's declaration of independence made Washington much more receptive to resettling the European survivors of the Holocaust in the Levant.
The close of the Second World War marked a triumph of the victorious Allied powers in a global contest against the forces of fascism. But victory presented immediate challenges: effective postwar cooperation to prevent the recurrence of a total war with its massive human costs, and assorted political, economic, and territorial questions prompted by the end of hostilities. In a series of wartime conferences, the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union had discussed the need for international cooperation to address postwar concerns. Those discussions led in 1945 to the creation of the United Nations Organization, which the Allies hoped would cement world peace after the second global conflict within half a century.
But the challenges of postwar diplomacy extended beyond just questions of interstate war and peace. The dispositions of vast European colonial possessions throughout the Middle East, Asia, and Africa remained indeterminate, despite growing calls for self-determination from active independence movements pitted against colonial governments exhausted by the trials of war. Moreover not all Allied Great Powers were equal at war's end. The most basic feature of the new international balance of power was the glaring disparity between the economic and military might of the United States and that of its European allies Britain, France, and the Netherlands. While the Netherlands and France lay physically devastated by occupation, bombardment, and Allied liberation, the economic costs of the war accumulated in monumental sterling balances that threatened to crush the British Empire under their weight.
An immediate consequence of this state of affairs was the impending withdrawal of those European powers from territories they controlled in the Middle East and Asia. But how would those power transfers occur, and what state or interstate authorities would manage them? While these questions remained unanswered, the basic outlines of one of the impending global shifts were clear. If the Pax Britannica was giving way to the American Century, the geopolitical evidence of that change was now clearer than ever.
The British Empire was firmly in retreat, overburdened by the monetary cost of imperial defense, which had contributed to a foreign debt burden that soared to some £3 billion—over a third of Britain's gross domestic product. Britain was vacating its strategic presence in Egypt, the cornerstone of its Middle East policy, leaving the Labour government with vexing quandaries about suitable locations that could sustain a residual force. At stake was nothing less than Britain's access to the region's vast oil reserves and the security of the Suez Canal Zone and the eastward sea route to India. Palestine, Cyprus, Cyrenaica, Iraq, and Transjordan were all possible candidates to offset the impact of the loss of Egypt and direct British control of the Canal Zone. And as the loss of India loomed ever larger in the minds of British strategists in the postwar years leading up to 1947, the Middle East seemed an obvious strategic foothold from which to secure the growing British interest in Africa—and thus as a justification for the maintenance of ever costlier fragments of empire. But whatever alternatives remained for preserving influence in the Middle East, the finality of the British Empire's looming withdrawal from Egypt was clear. Decades of British rule there, the keystone of the crown's presence in the Arab world at the intersection of three continents, and a prerequisite for control of the Sudan would be at an end after the removal of British forces to the Suez Canal area. The costs of holding India were also mounting to unsustainable levels, while Indian nationalism surged after the wholesale defeat of the Axis powers and the successful defense of the subcontinent, toward which Indian troops had contributed significantly.
Against this backdrop of Britain's hasty retreat from the Middle East and Asia unfolded the counter-narrative of America's expansion to fill distant, residual spaces vacated throughout the postwar world by defeated Axis enemies and imploded empires. American power reached its apogee after the Second World War, as the United States contemplated a new role in a changed international landscape. It was American credit that would finance the Marshall Plan and American military manpower and materiel that would shoulder the postwar reconstruction of Germany and Japan. After the United States secured petroleum supplies through concessions on the Arabian Peninsula negotiated by President Franklin Roosevelt with King Ibn Saud, the synergy of Middle Eastern oil and American industrial output began to power global economic recovery and rehabilitate war-torn Europe and Asia. Marshall Plan aid soon flooded across the Atlantic to help resurrect European allies, while billions of dollars of additional U.S. assistance flowed to China, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Pakistan.
The displacement of British influence in the world by expanding American economic and military influence thus was somewhat inevitable, as the United States sought to secure key strategic points and access to the raw materials of the third world that the Truman administration considered essential in case of a future global conflict. Moreover, fears of a growing confrontation with the Soviet Union as the early cold war began to divide East and West soon supplied a powerful new rationale for an expanded U.S. global posture: the need to safeguard the free world from communist influence and subversion, especially after the promulgation of the Truman Doctrine and the American assumption from Britain of the responsibility for economic and military assistance to reinforce ailing democratic governments in Greece and Turkey. But as this book argues, the disparity in their material power aside, both Atlantic powers—one falling, one rising—also adhered to distinct geographical conceptions of their security needs in the new international order, conceptions that helped shape their respective postwar foreign policies.
Great Britain's sense of its own interests in the world had been curtailed by war's end but remained decidedly colonial. The new British role in the postwar world was predicated on realism and oriented around shielding a contracting empire's territorial integrity and remaining possessions. Saddled by outsized defense costs while the domestic economy slumped, Britain sensed that its shrinking imperial reach was inevitable. And with that sense of a newly circumscribed international position came a revised geographic conception of Britain's postwar interests: more limited, more practical, and more concerned with only the most vital interests. Crown rule was crumbling in the empire's outposts in the Near and Far East, from Palestine to India, leaving strategists scrambling for alternative military basing postures and redefinitions of British security requirements.
Conversely U.S. officials revealed the mental maps and frameworks that underpinned their own worldviews in framing postwar foreign policy problems. The contours of the Roosevelt administration's earliest plans for postwar international organization did not delineate a segmented world of geographically dispersed regional alliances. It was rather a vision of a global peace overseen by the world's most powerful states, "Four Policemen," in Roosevelt's formulation, patterned after the Concert of Powers that presided over Europe after 1815 but whose extrapolated responsibilities now spanned the entirety of the globe. Here was a conception of American interests that entered the popular imagination through millions of wartime maps published by National Geographic and that reflected the basing needs of the "air age" dawning on U.S. civil and military aviation alike. Its essential blueprint also materialized as the iconic azimuthal equidistant projection map on the flag of the United Nations, a body whose structure emerged in part from the designs of the Council on Foreign Relations' Advisory Committee for Postwar Foreign Policy, whose work products would later be folded directly into the State Department's postwar planning efforts in the prelude to the San Francisco Conference of 1945. Throughout the process the global scope of postwar American interests became increasingly clear, guided by the thinking of officials like the influential geographer of the United States, Isaiah Bowman, who the anthropologist and geographer Neil Smith argues "moved more and more away from seeing a U.S. global future in terms of territorial blocs and regional trading spheres and toward a global vision."

The Maphrian (Syriac: ܡܦܪܝܢܐ Maphryānā, also rendered as mafriano, etc.) was historically the prelate in the Syriac Orthodox Church who ranked second in the hierarchy after the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch. The Maphrian, whose title literally means "one who bears fruit", i.e. "consecrator", was originally the head of the church in Persia and the lands outside of the Roman Empire. Eventually he bore the additional title of Catholicos of the East, signifying a connection to the Catholicate of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, the seat of the Patriarch of the Nestorian Church of the East. The position is somewhat similar to an exarch in other churches. The title was resurrected in the 20th century, and is now given to the Catholicos of India, leader of the local Jacobite Syrian Christian Church and the second highest prelate of the wider Syriac Orthodox Church.
The ecclesiastical dignity goes back certainly to the seventh century and perhaps to the closing years of the sixth. After the Nestorian Schism, when the teaching of Nestorius were branded heretical at the First Council of Ephesus in 431, the School of Edessa in Mesopotamia was closed for its Nestorian teachings, and moved to its original home in Nisibis, in the Sassanid Empire. At the Council of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, with the approval of the Sassanid king, a formal Patriarchate was established (see List of Patriarchs of the Church of the East).
Nestorianism flourished, forcing the few remaining Persian Miaphysites, like Xenaias (Philoxenus) of Tahal, into exile. Xenaias became Bishop of Mabug (ancient Hieropolis). In Persia, the Mesopotamian town of Tagrit (Modern Tikrit, Iraq) alone did not adopt the prevailing religion; it became the centre of the Miaphysite missions at the commencement of the sixth century. The energetic James Baradaeus ordained for the Persians bishop Ahudenuneh, who died a martyr in 575. But the efforts of Marutha of Tikrit were to be crowned with greater success. At one time from the monastery of Mar Mattai (near the ancient Assyrian capital Nineveh), at another from Tagrit itself, he undertook fruitful missionary work among the Arabs and throughout the valley of the Tigris. He relied on the influence of Chosroes II's physician, Gabriel de Shiggar, who had completely won the confidence of the Christian queen Shirin.
From time to time the Persian armies, which invaded the Roman territories so often at this period would bring back a multitude of captives, Byzantines, Egyptians, Euphratesians or Edessans, mostly Jacobites. So in 628-9 it was judged suitable to organize the Miaphysite Church in Persia. The Jacobite patriarch Athanasius I saw that it would be necessary to grant the Syrians in the Persian Empire a large ecclesiastical autonomy. In fact one of the most serious objections raised by the Nestorians against the Miaphysites was that the latter obeyed a spiritual head residing in Byzantine territory and that they were therefore inclined to become the subjects of the Emperor of Constantinople. Hence the Miaphysites were frequently denounced at the court of Seleucia as conspirators favouring the Romans; the thus incensed Sassanides would persecute the Jacobites.
The relations between the Maphrian and the Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch were frequently strained, though broad agreement was eventually reached on their relative status and areas of jurisdiction. In 869 it was decided that just as the patriarch consecrated the Maphrian, the consecration of a new Patriarch would be reserved to the Maphrian. Within their own circumscriptions, the Maphrians had often disputes with the metropolitan of the monastery of Mar Mattai (near Nineveh), who was jealous of the preponderating influence of Tagrit.
In 1089, the churches of Tagrit having been destroyed by the Muslims, the Maphrians abandoned it and settled in Mosul.
From A.D. 1155 they generally resided at Mar Mattai while retaining an immediate jurisdiction over Tagrit and Nineveh. One of the Maphrians worthy of special mention is the celebrated Gregory Abulfaradj, surnamed Bar Hebraeus (d. 1286), the most highly cultured man of his age. There has been preserved a history by him of his predecessors. This work was continued by his brother, and later by unscholarly annalists, and stops in the fifteenth century (1496).
Modern era[edit]
In time, the number of Syriac Orthodox Christians in Mesopotamia decreased, and the maphrianate lost its original significance. It became largely a titular designation for the Syriac Orthodox Church's second highest office until being abolished altogether in a synod of 1860. In the 20th century the title was resurrected in the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, the part of India's Malankara Church that remained under the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch after an internal split; it is given to the church's local leader, the Catholicos of India. The current Maphrian is Baselios Thomas I.

Patient payment plans, collections on rise as economy remains sluggish
EDITOR'S NOTE: Times remain tough — and dermatologists and patients continue to face sometimes difficult financial decisions. In this issue, we look at what some practitioners are doing to keep their businesses strong.
National report — As the sluggish economy continues to pinch both patients and practices, dermatologists are working harder to collect what's owed them — and to spend smarter on business expenses.
Collections are on the rise, many practitioners say, and so are the numbers of patients requesting extended payment options. Meanwhile, declining revenues are forcing many doctors to cut back on personnel, marketing and overhead costs.
"With the economic issues, we have a lot more people struggling," he says.
Some doctors say patients are being caught off guard by changes in their medical coverage.
"They think everything is covered and either ignore or throw away the bills" sent by her Montclair, N.J., private practice, she says.
Paying up front
One way to avoid such problems, says Joel Schlessinger, M.D., an Omaha, Neb., dermatologist, is to collect payment for medical visits up front.
"We've always had that approach for anything cosmetic," he says. On the medical side, "With the significant changes that have occurred in deductibles and particularly health savings accounts, in which deductibles can be as high as $5,000, we felt it was imperative that we have a thoroughly transparent process for patients at check-in."
To that end, Dr. Schlessinger says unless a patient's current insurance information is on file, nurses now check medical insurance and deductible levels before placing patients in an exam room. In fact, he says that whenever possible, nurses inform patients of their deductibles and out-of-pocket costs before their visits.
"Generally, people are very happy about this because they know what they're going to pay for the visit in advance — rather than being surprised if a bill comes a month later," he says.
Benjamin Treen, M.D., a Dothan, Ala., private practitioner, says that about a year ago, his practice started asking patients for credit card numbers before treatment, to cover any fees that insurance didn't.
But his office didn't require it, he says, and "maybe 15 percent" of patients provided the numbers. In July, Dr. Treen traded his Greenville, S.C., solo practice of 23 years to work in an Alabama office of Gulf Coast Dermatology, based in Panama City, Fla.
The economy alone didn't drive him from solo practice, Dr. Treen says. Rather, he says he was tired of management headaches — such as personnel matters, regulatory issues and day-to-day decisions — and the slow economy confirmed that he'd made the right choice.
Severe urticaria cases manageable with novel treatment options
Chronic urticaria can be difficult to treat, but new and evolving therapeutic options can effectively manage symptoms. Treating the cause of chronic urticaria is one of the primary goals of therapy, but very often the cause is not found. Chronic idiopathic urticaria is the diagnosis given to those patients where the etiology remains unknown.
Take advantage of opportunities to boost your practice's bottom line
There's no better time than now to take a fresh look at opportunities to boost your bottom line. Whether it's saving money or earning more, these missed opportunities may be right under your nose. Regardless of the size of your dermatology practice or its position in the local healthcare market, you are likely finding the margin between revenues and expenses is getting narrower and narrower.
Dermatologists review FDA's updated sunscreen guidelines
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released its long-awaited updated guidelines for sunscreens earlier this summer, and as hoped, more definitive standards were set delineating which sunscreens can designate themselves as having "broad-spectrum" protection from both UVA and UVB rays. On Call asked dermatologists around the country what they think of the new guidelines and whether they go far enough.
Clinicians turn to off-label therapies to address female hair loss
There are very few therapies approved to treat hair loss in women, compelling clinicians to turn to off-label therapies to address this condition, according to the president of the North American Hair Research Society. "Limited drugs are available," says Wilma F. Bergfeld, M.D., senior dermatologist, department of dermatology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland.
Adjunctive therapies plentiful for adult female acne patients
Adult women comprise a growing percentage of the patient population that dermatologists see with acne, and today, many treatment regimens are available and customizable to each patient's needs, according to Diane S. Berson, M.D., president, Women's Dermatologic Society, and assistant professor of dermatology, Cornell Medical College, New York.
