DPH: Peanut butter may be linked to outbreak
BOSTON (WHDH) -- The following is a release from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Consumer Alert Regarding Peanut Butter Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination
Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter may be linked to outbreak
BOSTON – Friday, September 21, 2012 – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) warns consumers that Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter Made with Sea Salt may be related to a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella infection. DPH is working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and many other state health departments to investigate an outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney that may be linked to the consumption of this product. Since June 11, twenty-nine cases of S. Bredeney have been detected nationally. Three of these cases have occurred in Massachusetts. DPH recommends discarding the product if it is in the home.
Salmonella are germs (bacteria) that cause an infectious disease (called "salmonellosis") of the bowel in humans and animals. The most common symptoms are stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Symptoms can take up to three days to show up, but most often begin 12 to 36 hours after the germs are swallowed. Symptoms generally last for several days. Some people with salmonellosis become sick enough to require hospitalization. Anyone with these symptoms who has consumed Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter Made with Sea Salt should consult their healthcare provider.

Retiarius: |
Nice Doctor Who reference in panel two. |
Golux: |
Sorry to hear about the sick minds and fevers, but appreciate their output. The last panel shows quite a different environment under the magnifier. Does Malvenicus (rattle boom) see these creatures without scrying? |
ShinRaiten: |
Elder Abominition, CR 15. |
ultrainventor: |
woah! that's new. looking through the magnifying glass shows abominations! In the panels! well done! |
Firelander: |
So, where are the pixies? |
Kris: |
Wow guys, I absolutely love those backgrounds ^^ |
Iceea: |
and the first sentence in panel 5 is a reference to Disney's Aladin |
IrishDrinker: |
NFL quotes? |
Ash: |
Ahh! Elder abominations! Very clever in the last panel there... I also love how much darker it is under the magnifier. And HOORAY NEW COMIC! Glad you're feeling better and I hope things keep improving! |
Glass: |
Will scare for food!!!! XD |
Pulsy: |
Revolutionary use of the magnifier! :D Great job!
Also - Elder abominations are scary ... #.# |
Inbetweenaction: |
Great to have you back, and amazing comic as usual |
Me: |
So younger abonimations are ok? |
Winterbay: |
Love the magnified version and I take it that Malvenicus (krasch boom) can see the things that the others can't due to what he said :)
Looking forward to the next installment :) |
Katkinkate: |
Is Rune OK?
The comic is just getting more amazing. |
aj26: |
Did anyone else relize that one of his eyes are yellow and the other is green?
Did this happen before and I havn't noticed? |
^^ His eyes have always been that way. |
Woulv: |
I check everyday to se if there is a new strip^^ love everything about this comic! :D |
Osk: |
What do elder abominations eat actually? |
hkmaly: |
Osk: Traditionally, cultists. If there is not enough of them, everyone else. |
Osk: |
Arn't they supposed to be fed innocent sacrifices and only go for cultists when those are unavailable. If even that is unavailable they just grab the nearest snack. |
Rune suddenly got quite sick yesterday, with 39.6°C fevers (103.3°F) even after anti-fever medication and a lot of pain to one of his ears. We suspect the poor little boy has an ear infection but doctor will be able to tell for sure tomorrow. Either way, it means comic is delayed a bit, sorry.
Hey all,
Tomorrow (saturday), Alien, Rune and I will be at the Elf Fantasy Fair in Arcen.
Monday ... we should have a new comic up (I say should, because Rune was a bit ill today).
Update: Will be monday afternoon, with taking Rune to school, it's tricky to do updates in the morning.
This morning, this happened for the first time:
Now that he's going to school, we should have time to resume comic again.

Published: 12/6/2012 9:07 PM | Last update: 12/7/2012 9:54 AM Basketball will bring a Buhler nostaglia nightCelebration of 1967 state title, court dedication will unfold tonight.BUHLER - It was basketball that brought a group of Buhler High students together 45 years ago to accomplish something special - something more magical than the state championship they found a way to capture that March.There was a lifetime bond that was forged in the winter of 1967.
Still, when two of them died in the last year, that bond reunited them. Today, it will be basketball that brings them back together. Buhler's 1967 Kansas Class A championship team will be inside Jim Baker Fieldhouse, where its team members will be inducted into the Buhler High Hall of Fame prior to the Crusaders' game against visiting Salina South. In addition, the basketball court will be dedicated in the name of Harold "Buck" Balzer, one of the people who helped to build Buhler's athletic legacy. In other words, it's a night for nostalgia at Buhler, which will be transformed back to 1967, a time when this area was the epicenter of high school basketball in the state. Buhler and Inman each won state tournaments that year, while McPherson lost to Wyandotte in the Class AA game. "I hadn't thought of it in many years and all of a sudden the memories are flooding back," said Eugene Voth, who came off the bench in the 1967 state title game to spark the Crusaders to a 60-59 victory over Clay Center inside the Hutchinson Sports Arena. It was the deaths of Benny Hodges and Tom Gould, each a sophomore on the state-title team, that caused that flood of memories. "That brought us all together and made us think about it again," said Voth, now a psychiatric nurse in the Newton area. "I remember a lot of things from that team. Most of all I remember us having fun. It is a unique accomplishment whether it be luck or hard work. "I don't know that we hated to lose, but we loved winning. That was a motivator." As stated earlier, this was a hotbed for high school basketball in 1967. The best teams were in the area and there was plenty of competition each night. The Crusaders lost games to Moundridge and Haven, but won a late-season game with Inman and finished the season with a record of 22-2. "We had about 10 or 11 kids that decided this was going to be the year," he said. "I guess it worked out that way." Moeckel was assisted by Don Wilhelm, Sheldon Bergstrom and Gary Schmidt. Team members were Dennis Barkman, Roger Borth, Rick Cornish, Darrell Ediger, Gould, Hodges, Steve Hughbanks, Ron Schmidt, Voth, Edward Dyck, Phil Schmidt, Davey Ediger and Sam Clovis. Moeckel used a scheme called the Wagon Wheel, which was a ball-possession offense that worked pretty well for Buhler. "We had some guys who could take care of the basketball and we were able to score off that offense any time we wanted to," said Moeckel, who is now retired and living in Hays. "It was a pretty disciplined offense and we ran it well." But this wasn't a Hoosiers-type of offense where everyone was required to touch the ball before a shot was attempted. These Crusaders had the ability to slow it down - and the Wagon Wheel was a great vehicle for that - but they won because they were more athletic than most teams. Few could match their depth. "Not only did we have a great five, we also had a great bench," said Dyck, a junior on the 1967 squad. "Everyone on the team could play. We fast broke every chance we had. It wasn't until we got to the state tournament that we started to slow things down." That might have had something to do with the schedule. To get to the state tourney, Buhler had to win three regional games in three days. It got a short break before the state tournament began. "It was a rigorous schedule," Voth said. "We never thought about the fatigue. We never thought about being tired. It was something that never entered our minds. We knew we had to just go out and play." Up to that point, no one had ever played in a real basketball arena. Heck, Voth said he learned to play basketball by playing in the barn built by Darrell Ediger's father. That said, the Hutchinson Sports Arena might as well have been Madison Square Garden. "We had never played in a big arena like that," Voth said. "I remember the first lay-up during warm-ups. I just about missed the backboard." He didn't miss much else. Voth came off the bench and led the Crusaders with 18 points in the title-game victory over Clay Center. He also had solid games against Marysville and Hoxie in the preliminary rounds and was named the tournament's outstanding player.
"He was the big story," Dyck said. "He came off the bench and was on fire. A lot of the credit goes to him, but a lot of people were a part of it.

Lead researcher Tomas Brodin of Umea University in Sweden said fish exposed to Oxazepam fed more aggressively.
BOSTON — Wild perch living in water tainted with a commonly prescribed human anti-anxiety drug aggressively feed, shun other fish and become careless, according to the results of a study presented at a meeting of scientists yesterday.
"We knew there was a pharmaceutical that was present in the environment that had behavioral-changing capabilities in humans, but what could this do to fish?" said chemist Jerker Fick of Umea University in Sweden.
The findings highlighted the potential ecological implications of even trace amounts of psychiatric pharmaceuticals that are excreted in human urine and survive wastewater-treatment processes, scientists told a meeting in Boston of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
For the experiment, scientists divided 75 wild European perch into three groups. One group lived in clean water. The second group's water had low concentrations of Oxazepam, a commonly prescribed medication used to treat anxiety in humans. The concentration was similar to what is found in waterways downstream from sewage-treatment plants.
The third group's water had 500 times the amount of Oxazepam typically found in waterways. After a week, the fish were subjected to behavioral tests.
"Before we exposed the perch to the drug, they were all very shy. They were not taking any risks at all basically. After exposure, they were swimming around much more, like they were unconcerned, and they were not as social. They just wanted to swim on their own. Some even avoided schools," said lead researcher Tomas Brodin, also with Umea University.
Fish exposed to Oxazepam became more-aggressive feeders, he said.
"I have no doubt that the behavioral effects we see are true and that they are potentially going on as we speak," Brodin said.
"This is a global issue," he said. "We find these concentrations (of psychiatric drugs), or close to them, all over the world."
The scientists plan to expand the study to look at the wider ecological effects of Oxazepam and to understand on a molecular level what happens to perch exposed to the drug.
The research appears in this week's Science magazine.

Town to unveil renaming of New County Road to Paul Amico Way
The County of Hudson and the town of Secaucus will officially unveil the street sign for Paul Amico Way on Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 10:30 a.m. The location is at the intersection of what was formerly known as New County Road and County Road Extension. The address for the ceremony is 5000 Riverside Station Boulevard.
The mayor and Town Council in April passed a resolution to rename New County Road "Paul Amico Way" in honor of the former mayor. Amico, 99, served as mayor of Secaucus for a total of 28 years, from 1963 until 1991.
Across the Hackensack: Carstadt club's music and entertainment permits suspended
The nightclub Dragonfly, which is located in Carlstadt by the Izod Center, had its music and entertainment permits suspended after police reports indicated the club played amplified music on July 15 and 22 at 2:45 a.m. and 2:20 a.m. in violation of a provisional permit, according to a letter issued by Carlstadt officials to the club owner Rocco Giuliano on July 26.
The reports also indicate that on both dates a DJ on an outdoor stage was playing amplified music without the proper Outdoor Events permits required by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission.
Residents who live in the Secaucus development Riverview Court and the surrounding area along the Hackensack River had complained about alleged noise disturbances coming across the river last month.
A hearing will be held on the matter on Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. in Carlstadt. The owners will have the opportunity to request that the suspension be revoked.
Calls for comment to Dragonfly were not answered.
Meadowlands Hospital audit reveals faulty finances
According to a story in the Record this past week, a draft of an annual financial audit of the Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center (MHMC) in Secaucus reveals that the 230-bed hospital defaulted on a loan and overdrew a bank account by $1 million in 2011, despite posting a 10 percent profit and paying investors $8.4 million.
In the story, employees said paychecks bounced at least three times since December, which prompted an investigation by the state Department of Labor. The story said the hospital recorded an unprecedented turnaround of $9 million profit in 2011 compared to a $10.4 million loss in 2010.
MHMC was sold to new owners – a for-profit private investment firm – in December 2010.
The owners disputed the findings in the financial audit. Owner Tamara Dunaev told The Record, "We made all the payments." The loan, she said, was refinanced. The owners said the overdraft and the paycheck issues were their bank's fault, not theirs.
Last year the principal owners, Dr. Richard Lipsky and Dunaev, blasted the previous nonprofit owners and said they left the hospital in poor condition, and also blamed the nurses union for "sabotaging" operations after a 25-page state report outlined deficiencies in the facility.
Last December, then-CEO Mike Gregorio praised the hospital's accomplishments, saying, "one year ago we took over a hospital that was losing more than $1 million each month." Among the accomplishments, the hospital included an updated department of neuroscience and cognitive rehabilitation, the purchase of two hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and an update to an electronic records system.
Local housing commissioner Louis C. Canavari passes away
Louis Canavari, 84, who served on the Secaucus Housing Authority since 1996, passed away on Saturday, July 21, 2012. Canavari was a Commissioner at the Secaucus Housing Authority for 16 years, serving many years as either the vice chairperson or chairperson. He was the husband of the late Anna Canavari; father of Grace Caparelli (married to Robert), Chris Canavari (married to Christina) and Michael Canavari (married to Camille); loving grandfather of Jason, Helene, Anthony, Nicole and Louis; and brother of John Canavari and Rosalyn D'Amico.
Canavari served in the United States Army and owned Louis Canavari Meats in Secaucus.
Celebration at Shree Swaminarayan Temple to honor Swamiji
The Shree Swaminarayan Temple, on Aug. 5 at 9 a.m. – during a globally-broadcast event –celebrates its 25th year anniversary with a special ceremony to honor H.D.H. Acharya Shree Purushottampriyadasji Swamiji Maharaj (Swamiji). Swamiji arrived in the United States in 1987 and established numerous temples throughout North America starting with Secaucus.
In recognition of his 70 years on earth, Swamiji and the representation of Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa will be weighed against five holy objects including: sugar crystals, flowers, betel nut, coconut, and a precious metal. Five million dollars was raised to pay for 170 pounds of platinum to serve as the precious metal.
Once the program is over, the platinum will be returned, and the millions will be used to support charitable programs all over the world. By weighing Swamiji and the representation of Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa, the group is symbolically attempting to weigh Shree Swaminarayan himself. For more information, visit: www.swaminarayangadi.com/newjersey or call: Rashmin Patel (201) 647-5485.
Bomb threats at Walmart lead to evacuation and temporary shutdown
The Walmart in Secaucus was evacuated Thursday afternoon, a second time this week, for a bomb threat that was called in at 1:41 p.m.to the store according to news reports. A search of the store by local police and firefighters did not turn up a bomb. The store opened after an hour. This follows a similar incident that took place on Monday, July 31 when an anonymous bomb threat caused an evacuation according to local officials. The Hudson County Sheriff's office says roughly 700 customers and employees were evacuated from the store in Secaucus after the threat was received around 2 p.m. Monday, July 30. The threat was the latest in a string of such threats to stores across the country, starting Friday. Threats were called in to several stores in Kansas and Missouri over the weekend.
The FBI is investigating the series of threats. Police would not say if they believe they are the work of one person or group, or copycats.
American Dream project gets another approval
The American Dream at Meadowlands complex on Route 3 has advanced further after the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on July 27 gave out water quality permits to Triple Five Developers for the proposed indoor amusement and water parks expansion, according to news reports.
This comes a month after the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission approved the environmental plan for the 21.75-acre park. The New Jersey Department of Transportation and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) have also given a green light to the expansion plans.
Despite the recent approvals, the project still needs federal permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, and a few financial and legal obstacles remain.
The $3.7 billion project, previously known as Xanadu, includes a Dreamworks Animation theme park, attractions, retail and other venues. The retail and entertainment venue will also have a water park, ice skating rink, indoor ski park and theaters along with nearly 1.7 million square feet of retail space and 150,000 square feet of fine dining and restaurants.
The developers have agreed to purchase 5.41 acres of wetlands credits to pay for filling in 5.41 acres of wetlands for the water park, and has also agreed to preserve the 128-acre Walden swamp, which is located on the western portion of the Meadowland Sports Complex.
Triple Five also recently sought to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the New York Giants and New York Jets against the project expansion. The professional sports teams sought an injunction in June to prevent the developer from reviving the project. The lawsuit filed in a state court in Bergen County alleges that Triple Five did not receive their consent to expand the project and also cites traffic impacts.
Area mayors have also expressed concerns about potential traffic impacts due to the expansion and have considered joining the lawsuit.
"My municipality has had to deal with significant traffic issues and problems whether on Route 3 or on our local roads, almost every work day when our population goes from 17,000 full time residents to a daytime population of 60,000," said Mayor Michael Gonnelli during the June 27 Meadowlands Commission meeting. "Everybody knows what is happening with traffic [and] there is nothing out there to solve it."
Local environmental groups have also expressed opposition to the project.
"This is not only bad for the environment, but they are looking for taxpayers to fund this environmental mess. A billion dollars worth of subsidies have been given when there is supposedly no money for police, firefighters, education or money to buy open space. The public doesn't want it, but the pay to play machine does," said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "This will not only take money from the tax payers wallets, but will cause more traffic, more air pollution, more water pollution, and more flooding in an area that has too much of that already."

Discovery Research K-12 (DRK-12)
Important Message Regarding Grants.gov Outage
Due to a recently announced maintenance outage, Grants.gov will be unavailable from 12:01 AM on Friday, December 6 until 11:59 PM on Sunday, December 8. Discovery Research K-12 (NSF 13-601), has an established deadline date on Friday, December 6, 2013. As a result of the Grants.gov website outage, the deadline to submit proposals in response to this program solicitation has been extended to 5 p.m. submitter's local time on Monday, December 9, 2013. This deadline extension applies to all proposals, regardless of whether they are submitted via FastLane or Grants.gov. outage.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES Solicitation 13-601
Full Proposal Deadline Date: October 16, 2014
The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs). Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. Teachers and students who participate in DRK-12 studies are expected to enhance their understanding and use of STEM content, practices and skills.
DRK-12 invites proposals that address immediate challenges that are facing preK-12 STEM education as well as those that anticipate radically different structures and functions of pre-K 12 teaching and learning. The DRK-12 program has four major research and development strands: (1) Assessment; (2) Learning; (3) Teaching; and (4) Implementation Research. The program recognizes that there is some overlap among the strands. Proposals may address more than one strand. For example, projects in the Learning Strand may also include assessments of student learning, and/or support for teachers and plans for larger dissemination and use. Likewise, the Teaching Strand has a specific focus on RMTs for teacher education and professional development, but these are often based on a particular curriculum or set of instructional materials or tools. The Implementation Research strand that replaces the Scale-up strand in the previous solicitation might potentially address any or a combination of the other three strands. The program supports three types of projects: (1) Exploratory, (2) Full Design and Development, and (3) Conferences, Workshops, and Syntheses. All three types of projects apply to each of the four DRK-12 strands.

Title: Parenthood Shower Decorations
Date: Sep 17, 2010
Referred by a friend, I ordered decorations for my daughter's long distance, vitual baby shower (via Skype). The design is trendy and fun. Friends and family were complimentary about the printable invitations done with a brown font. Plates and napkins match lighter green and lavender balloons better than brighter colors.

Terror comes ripping right through the silver screen in this sequel that picks up exactly where Tobe Hooper's shocking 1974 classic left off. For decades, people in Newt, Texas, had been vanishing into thin air. When a horrified young girl escaped from the Sawyer house after seeing her friends butchered like cattle, the townspeople's worst fears about the reclusive clan were confirmed. Enraged, the locals formed a mob, burned down the blood-soaked abattoir, and methodically killed every member of the family. But in the blazing chaos of that fateful night, one of the Sawyers slipped away into the darkness. For decades it seemed as if the nightmare had ended. But when a young woman named Heather Miller (Alexandra Daddario) receives word that her distant grandmother has passed away, willing her a secluded Victorian mansion in the Texas desert, the discovery of a dark secret hidden deep in the cellar reveals the Sawyer's legacy of evil lives on. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A teenage girl sets out in search of her missing best friend, a mischief-making flirt who had been recklessly meeting men online, in this thriller featuring Twilight star Anna Kendrick. Sarah (Kendrick) is a straight-A student and popular athlete, and Jillian (Tania Raymonde) is the girl with the reputation that every parent fears most. Yet despite their differences, Sarah and Jillian have been best friends for as far back as either can recall. Both girls long to escape their small town for something more exciting, though it's Jillian who acts first. Shortly after revealing to Sarah that she is searching for a man online to take her someplace new and exciting, Jillian vanishes without a trace. The only clues that Sarah has to her old friend's whereabouts are a journal, and a cryptic video message sent by Jillian just before she disappeared. Frustrated that the people in town would rather just pretend that Jillian never existed, Sarah enlists the aid of local computer whiz (who harbors a secret crush on her) to trace the origins of the mysterious message and unlock the mystery of her best friend's disappearance. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The O'Keefes [TV Series]
Originally titled Brave New World, the weekly, half-hour seriocomedy The O'Keefes was based in part on the real-life experiences of Mark O'Keefe, who also co-produced the series. Judge Reinhold and Kirsten Nelson starred as Harry and Ellen O'Keefe, a brilliant and eccentric couple who elected to home-school their three children, sheltering the kids from such insignificant distractions as TV, contemporary music, and other forms of popular culture. Though the O'Keefes were affectionate and well-intentioned, the kids -- Lauren (Tania Raymonde), Danny (Joseph Cross), and Mark (Matt Weinberg) -- eventually yearned to lead normal lives. Under protest, Harry enrolled his youngsters in public school, whereupon the erudite but unworldly O'Keefe progeny found that they may have been conversant in several languages, but "teentalk" wasn't one of them. The O'Keefes debuted May 22, 2003, on the WB network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A boy in the deep South learns the joys and sorrows of first love in this comedy-drama based on the short story by Truman Capote. Billy Bob Murphy (Joe Pichler) is a thirteen-year-old boy growing up in a small Alabama town in 1947. Billy Bob's mother Elinore (Sheryl Lee) lost her husband during World War II, and has been struggling to raise her son on her own. Billy Bob's best friend is Preacher Star (Jesse Plemons); Preacher has a pronounced mischievous streak, which is hardly tempered by the fact his Dad has a drinking problem and his older brothers are teenage thugs in training. When thirteen-year-old Lily Jane Bobbitt (Tania Raymonde) moved into town with her mother, a strange woman who never speaks, both Billy Bob and Preacher are entranced; groomed to act like a "lady" and convinced she's destined for stardom in the movies, Lily Jane isn't like any of the girls in town. But Billy Bob not only has Preacher as a rival for Lily Jane's affections, his best friend's coarse personality makes her wonder if Billy Bob is the sort of young gentleman who is worthy of her company. Lily Jane also earns the enmity of many of her schoolmates when she befriends Sister Rosalba, a girl her age from the town's African-American neighborhood. As Billy Bob struggles with first love, he also has to deal with his mother's budding romance with Speedy, the local auto mechanic (Christopher McDonald. Children On Their Birthdays was the first film directed by Mark Medoff, a noted screenwriter and playwright who received an Oscar nomination for his work on the film Children Of A Lesser God. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Slaughterhouse is comprised of rappers Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joel Ortiz and Royce Da 5'9.
Some combinations are just infallible: peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies and rap collective, Slaughterhouse.
A hip-hop super-group comprised of rappers Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joel Ortiz and Royce Da 59, Slaughterhouse is about as good as it gets in popular hip-hop music. Solo or as a unit, these guys are absolutely incredible on the microphone. Dont believe me? Ask Eminem.
Signed to Slims Shady records in early 2011, they initially caught the white boy wonders attention with the release of their independently released self-titled debut. Praised for their lyrical ability and aggressive delivery, the group shot to success in the underground community. Contrary to popular belief, however, this seemingly smooth transition to stardom was actually years in the making. More adept hip-hop fans will recognize Royce from early Eminem albums while Joe Budden can be traced back to his infamous smash hit, Pump It Up, in 2003. Crooked and Ortiz have built up solo buzz in the indie circuit since the late 1990s as well.
So while the group is fresh, its members certainly are not. Call it strength in numbers or pure dumb luck. One thing is certain: together, theyve formed something that could be responsible for the resurfacing of the popularity of lyrics in rap again, and teaming with Marshall Mathers has done nothing but make them shine that much brighter.
Welcome to: Our House is the poorly titled yet fully satisfying debut from the four-headed monster. Featuring a more mainstream friendly sound than their last project, the release might polarize fans who prefer the hard edge of their mixtape cuts.
To say Em had a hand in making this album is an understatement. As evidenced by four Skylar Grey hooks and Ems signature drowned out vocals, their label boss fingerprints are all over the release, and while I cant deny the radio-friendly nature of the project with My Life," open-minded listeners will still find plenty to enjoy here.
The lyrics never fail to impress, the aggression from previous projects is very much intact and the album highlights are better than anything on the market right now. Check out Coffin if you dont believe me. Busta Rhymes hasnt sounded that great since 2004.
Welcome to: Our House is dark at times, but overall its a stress-free release with lyricism remaining at its forefront. Skip Throw That and youve got one hell of an album.

The Cuban Missile Crisis had just ended, with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchevs promise to President John F. Kennedy on Oct. 28 1962 that he was withdrawing his strategic nuclear weapons from the island.
But nearly 100 smaller Soviet nuclear warheads were also in Cuba, unknown to the U.S. government at the time and for decades into the future.
Fidel Castro wanted desperately to keep them.
Had Castro prevailed, Cuba would have become a nuclear power. And if Kennedy had known that Khrushchev had all but lied on Oct. 28, the hawks in Washington might have won their push for an all-out U.S. invasion of the island.
Instead, Soviet Deputy Prime Minister Anastas Mikoyan, sensing that the hothead Castro could not be trusted with any nuclear weapons, got them out of Cuba after telling him that Soviet law did not permit the transfer of nuclear weapons to other countries.
It is a pity. And when are you going to repeal that law? Castro asked Mikoyan during a tense meeting on Nov. 22, 1962, according to a new book by his son, Sergo Mikoyan, and researcher Svetlana Savranskaya.
Its been 50 years since the Cuban Missile Crisis, Oct. 16-28, when the world came closer than ever to a U.S.Soviet nuclear war and nightmarish terms like Armageddon and mutually assured destruction MAD became almost real.
Research in recent years has shown the crisis impacted a broader swath of the world than previously known, said James Hershberg, editor of the book series published by the Cold War International History Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington.
Moscows concessions to Kennedy likely pushed North Korea to launch its own search for nuclear weapons, one study showed. Another argued that it led North Vietnam to step up its armed campaign against the south.
But Sergo Mikoyans book, The Soviet-Cuba Missile Crisis, focuses on the crisis in Havana in November of 1962, as his father jawboned with Castro to clean up the loose ends of the Cuban Missile Crisis
The headline here is just how close Cuba came to being a nuclear power, said Hershberg, whose book series includes the Mikoyan work.
The book includes 50 Soviet government and Mikoyan family documents, including official notes from the Mikoyan-Castro talks. Sergo Mikoyan died in 2010 and Savranskaya, a researcher at George Washington Universitys National Security Archive, completed the book.
The tale essentially starts after Khrushchev tells Kennedy Oct. 28 that he will withdraw from Cuba the weapons which you call offensive Soviet R-14 and R-12 missiles with nuclear warheads and ranges of up to 1,550 miles, and medium-range IL-28 bombers, aged but still capable of carrying nuclear bombs.
What Khrushchev did not reveal was that 98 tactical nuclear warheads also had been deployed in Cuba for the Luna and FKR-1 missiles, both coastal defense weapons deployed essentially to destroy a possible U.S. invasion armada.
In the weeks leading up to the Missile Crisis there had been conversations between U.S. and Soviet officials about the Soviet Union sending Cuba weapons so that it could defend itself, according to documents released Thursday from the archives of Robert F. Kennedy, then the attorney general and an advisor to his brother.
But with the United States apparently unaware such weapons had nuclear capabilities, the tense exchanges between the two Cold War powers centered on the removal of weapons capable of offensive war, not the weapons that could be used to repel a possible U.S. invasion.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Reed L. Royalty,� president emeritus, Orange County Taxpayers Association:� I'm a former submarine officer who is not nuclear-trained. I was a combat officer and ship's engineer. But I have ridden on several nuke carriers and worked with the people who manned them.
Nuclear submarines are operated by young men and women under conditions a dozen times more challenging than those encountered at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station ["NRC grilled at San Onofre meeting," Local, Feb. 13]. Yet there has never been a nuclear incident on a Navy submarine in the 58 years they've been operating. (The United States lost two submarines, USS Thresher� and USS Scorpion, because of structural failures unrelated to their nuclear plant.)
In fact, there never has been a nuclear incident in the U.S. that hurt anybody, including Three Mile Island in 1979. I was amused by the panicky and generally baseless news reports at the time.
I bought my house in San Juan Capistrano while fully aware of SONGS. It was one of the things that attracted me to this area, because it represented technology and progress. Nuclear power is not witchcraft. It's relatively simple physics.
Nuclear power provides 80 percent of the electricity in France, without incident. In fact, France exports power to surrounding nations.
I urge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to approve Southern California Edison's low-power restart of the two idled nuclear reactors at San Onofre.
Bitter pills for Boehner
SANTA ANA, Bonnie Compton Hanson:� What a relief to see that House Speaker John Boehner had recovered enough by Wednesday to speak to reporters. Poor man. All during his president's State of the Union speech – which was full of exciting ideas to both reduce the deficit and greatly improve our wonderful nation – Boehner's face was full of pain and agony. It couldn't have been anything as unpatriotic as bitterness over not having his party win the presidential election, right?
Now that Boehner seems to be recovering from his illness, I'm sure that he, too, will start thrilling along with the rest of us that our nation is recovering.
Then he can have the House consider the president's well-thought-through proposals and offer some just-as-great ones of his own. That's what democracy is all about. Right?
Rubio is doomed
ORANGE, Leonard Musgrave:� Sen. Marco Rubio's rebuttal to the president's State of the Union address has doomed any chance of his run for the presidency in 2016. If he can't deliver a rebuttal speech with strong conviction and confidence, he will never rise to a level that command's our vote.
Rubio was sweating, nervous and had a bad case of dry mouth, which he should have preplanned for. He should have had a glass filled with ice water at his fingertips rather than a small plastic bottle, six feet away.
Rubio should join Toastmasters International and learn how to give a strong speech.
Constitutional liberties
MISSION VIEJO, Jeff Eales:� In response to recent news that President Barack Obama is using drones to kill targeted terrorists or those perceived as an "imminent threat," I find the American Civil Liberties Union's and usual cast of liberal Democrats' silence deafening.
I just returned from two weeks in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. Many of my Congolese friends asked me if I'd voted for President Barack Obama, and what I thought of him. I responded with a question: As government size, regulations, taxes and laws increase in magnitude, does liberty increase or decline? They all answered correctly, that, as government grows, individual liberty declines.

These are the best long underwear I have ever purchased. I am an outdoor enthusiast and they keep me warm. Even with the mid weight they fit nicely under all my pants and jeans well.
I mostly use these for skiing and going out to ride my horse.
No negative feelings about this purchase.

Highland Clearances
The Highland Clearances (Scottish Gaelic: Fuadach nan Gàidheal, the "expulsion of the Gael") was the forced displacement of a significant number of people in the Scottish Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries, as a result of an agricultural revolution, that resulted in enclosures, largely carried out by hereditary aristocratic landowners. The changes were seen to be supported by the government, which gave financial aid for roads and bridges to assist the new sheep-based agriculture and trade.[1]
There was mass forced emigration to the sea coast, the Scottish Lowlands and the North American colonies. The clearances were particularly notorious as a result of the late timing, the lack of legal protection for year-by-year tenants under Scots law, the abruptness of the change from the traditional clan system, and the brutality of many evictions.
The enclosures that depopulated rural England in the British Agricultural Revolution started much earlier, during the Tudor period, and similar developments in Scotland have lately been called the Lowland Clearances by historians such as Tom Devine.[2] But in the Highlands the impact on a Goidelic (Scottish Gaelic)-speaking semi-feudal culture that anticipated the fulfilment of obligations of a chief to his clan, led to vocal campaigning and a lingering bitterness among the descendants of those forced to emigrate or to remain in crofting townships on very small areas of poor farming land. Crofters became a source of virtually free labour to their landlords, being forced to work long hours in activities such as harvesting and processing of kelp, an activity that reached its peak in the West Highlands between 1750 and 1815.[3]
From the late 16th century, laws required clan leaders to appear in Edinburgh regularly to provide bonds for the conduct of anyone in their territory. This created a tendency among chiefs to see themselves as landlords. The lesser clan-gentry increasingly took up droving, taking cattle along the old unpaved drove roads to sell in the Lowlands. This brought wealth and land ownership within the clan, though the Highlands continued to be overpopulated and poor.[citation needed]
The Jacobite Risings brought repeated British government efforts to curb the clans, culminating after the 1746 Battle of Culloden with brutal repression. The Act of Proscription of 1746 incorporating the Dress Act required all swords to be surrendered to the government and prohibited the wearing of tartans or kilts. The Tenures Abolition Act 1660 ended the feudal bond of military service and the Heritable Jurisdictions Act removed the virtually sovereign power the chiefs held over their clan. The extent of enforcement of the prohibitions varied and related to a clan's support of the government during the rebellion, but over all led to the destruction of the traditional clan system and of the supportive social structures of small agricultural townships.[citation needed]
From about 1725, in the aftermath of the first Jacobite Rising, Highlanders had begun emigrating to the Americas in increasing numbers. The Disarming Act of 1746 and the Clan Act made ineffectual attempts to subdue the Scottish Highlands, and eventually troops were sent in. Government garrisons were built or extended in the Great Glen at Fort William, Kiliwhimin (later renamed Fort Augustus) and Fort George, Inverness, as well as barracks at Ruthven, Bernera and Inversnaid, linked to the south by the Wade roads (constructed for Major-General George Wade). These had the effect of limiting organisational travel and choking off news and further isolated the clans. Nevertheless, conditions remained unsettled for the whole decade.[citation needed]
In 1792 tenant farmers from Strathrusdale led a protest by driving over 6,000 sheep off the land surrounding Ardross. This action was dealt with at the highest levels in government, with the Home Secretary Henry Dundas getting involved. The Black Watch was mobilised; it halted the drive and brought the ringleaders to trial. They were found guilty, but later escaped custody and disappeared.[citation needed]
What became known as the Clearances were considered by the landlords as necessary "improvements". They are thought to have been begun by Admiral John Ross of Balnagowan Castle in Scotland in 1762. MacLeod of MacLeod (i.e. the chief of MacLeod) began experimental work on Skye in 1732. Chiefs engaged Lowland, or sometimes English, factors with expertise in more profitable sheep farming, and they "encouraged", sometimes forcibly, the population to move off suitable land.
Year of the Sheep[edit]
Another wave of mass emigration came in 1792, known as the Bliadhna nan Caorach ("Year of the Sheep") to Gaelic speaking Scottish Highlanders.[4] The people were accommodated in poor crofts or small farms in coastal areas where farming could not sustain the communities and they were expected to take up fishing. In the village of Badbea in Caithness the conditions were so harsh that, while the women worked, they had to tether their livestock and even their children to rocks or posts to prevent them being blown over the cliffs.[5] Others were put directly onto emigration ships to Nova Scotia (Antigonish and Pictou counties and later Cape Breton), the Glengarry and Kingston areas of Ontario and the Carolinas of the American colonies. There may have been a religious element in these forced removals since many Highlanders were Roman Catholic. This is reflected by the majority representation of Catholics in areas of Nova Scotia, such as in the town of Antigonish and the island of Cape Breton. However almost all of the very large movement of Highland settlers to the Cape Fear region of North Carolina were Presbyterian. (This is evidenced even today in the presence and extent of Presbyterian congregations and adherents in the region.)[citation needed]
Landlords' behaviour[edit]
In 1807 Elizabeth Gordon, 19th Countess of Sutherland, touring her inheritance with her husband Lord Stafford (later made Duke of Sutherland), wrote that "he is seized as much as I am with the rage of improvements, and we both turn our attention with the greatest of energy to turnips". As well as turning land over to sheep farming, Stafford planned to invest in creating a coal-pit, salt pans, brick and tile works and herring fisheries. That year his agents began the evictions, and 90 families were forced to leave their crops in the ground and move their cattle, furniture and timbers to the land they were offered 20 miles (32 km) away on the coast, living in the open until they had built themselves new houses. Stafford's first Commissioner, William Young, arrived in 1809, and soon engaged Patrick Sellar as his factor who pressed ahead with the process while acquiring sheep farming estates for himself.[6]
Elsewhere, the flamboyant Alexander Ranaldson MacDonell of Glengarry portrayed himself as the last genuine specimen of the true Highland Chief while his tenants were subjected to a process of relentless eviction.[6]
To landlords, "improvement" and "clearance" did not necessarily mean depopulation. At least until the 1820s, when there were steep falls in the price of kelp, landlords wanted to create pools of cheap or virtually free labour, supplied by families subsisting in new crofting townships. Kelp collection and processing was a very profitable way of using this labour, and landlords petitioned successfully for legislation designed to stop emigration. This took the form of the Passenger Vessels Act 1803. Attitudes changed during the 1820s and, for many landlords, the potato famine which began in 1846 became another reason for encouraging or forcing emigration and depopulation.
Potato famine[edit]
As in Ireland, the potato crop failed in the mid nineteenth century, and a widespread outbreak of cholera further weakened the Highland population. The ongoing clearance policy resulted in starvation, deaths, and a secondary clearance, when families either migrated voluntarily or were forcibly evicted. There were many deaths of children and old people. As there were few alternatives, people emigrated, joined the British army, or moved to growing urban centres such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee in Lowland Scotland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Liverpool in the north of England. In places some people were given economic incentives to move, but few historians dispute that in many instances landlords used violent methods.
Account by Donald McLeod[edit]
Donald McLeod, a Sutherland crofter, later wrote about the events he witnessed:
The consternation and confusion were extreme. Little or no time was given for the removal of persons or property; the people striving to remove the sick and the helpless before the fire should reach them; next, struggling to save the most valuable of their effects. The cries of the women and children, the roaring of the affrighted cattle, hunted at the same time by the yelling dogs of the shepherds amid the smoke and fire, altogether presented a scene that completely baffles description — it required to be seen to be believed. A dense cloud of smoke enveloped the whole country by day, and even extended far out to sea. At night an awfully grand but terrific scene presented itself — all the houses in an extensive district in flames at once. I myself ascended a height about eleven o'clock in the evening, and counted two hundred and fifty blazing houses, many of the owners of which I personally knew, but whose present condition — whether in or out of the flames — I could not tell. The conflagration lasted six days, till the whole of the dwellings were reduced to ashes or smoking ruins. During one of these days a boat actually lost her way in the dense smoke as she approached the shore, but at night was enabled to reach a landing-place by the lurid light of the flames.[7]
Accounts like those of McLeod and General David Stewart of Garth brought widespread condemnation and The Highland Land League eventually achieved land reform in the enactment of Crofting Acts, but these could not bring economic viability and came too late at a time when the land was already suffering from depopulation.
Second phase of the Clearances[edit]
It was only in the mid-nineteenth century that the second, more brutal phase of the Clearances began; this was well after the 1822 visit by George IV, when lowlanders set aside their previous distrust and hatred of the Highlanders and identified with them as national symbols. However, the cumulative effect was particularly devastating to the cultural landscape of Scotland in a way that did not happen in other areas of Britain.
Elizabeth Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland, and her husband George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland, conducted brutal clearances between 1811 and 1820.[8][9] Evictions at the rate of 2,000 families in one day were not uncommon. Many starved and froze to death where their homes had once been. The Duchess of Sutherland, on seeing the starving tenants on her husband's estate, remarked in a letter to a friend in England, "Scotch people are of happier constitution and do not fatten like the larger breed of animals."[10]
However, the Clearances did result in significant emigration of Highlanders to North America and Australasia — where today are found considerably more descendants of Highlanders than in Scotland itself.[11]
One estimate for Cape Breton, Nova Scotia has 25,000 Gaelic-speaking Scots arriving as immigrants between 1775 and 1850. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were an estimated 100,000 Gaelic speakers in Cape Breton, but because of economic migration to English-speaking areas and the lack of Gaelic education in the Nova Scotian school system, the numbers of Gaelic speakers fell dramatically. By the beginning of the 21st century, the number of native Gaelic speakers had fallen to well below 1,000.[12]
A major destination for these emigrants in the 18th century and early 19th century was Glengarry County, an original settlement for Highland Scots in what is now present-day eastern Ontario. Gaelic was the native tongue of the settlement in which thousands of people spoke the language throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. However, the number of native speakers has decreased since in result of English and French migration throughout the county. In respect for their and their ancestors' Scottish culture, the county hosts the annual Glengarry Highland Games, one of the biggest Highland Games gatherings of its kind outside Scotland.
Memorials to the Clearances[edit]
The Highland Clearances are still remembered especially in the areas affected by the forced emigration and hardship endured by the peoples of the Highlands and their descendants across the world.[citation needed]
On 23 July 2007, the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond unveiled a 10 ft-high bronze "Exiles" statue in Helmsdale, Sutherland, which commemorates the people who were cleared from the area by landowners and left their homeland to begin new lives overseas. The statue, which depicts a family leaving their home, stands at the mouth of the Strath of Kildonan and was funded by Dennis Macleod, a Scottish-Canadian mining millionaire who also attended the ceremony.[13]
An identical 10 ft-high bronze "Exiles" statue has also been set up on the banks of the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[14]

Spring Break. A time when a lot of people take family vacations to exotic places like Miami, Los Angeles, Lubbock. We ourselves just returned from a week-long trip to Kauai. It was wonderful. The weather was perfect, the flights were on time and the kids were so well behaved, they'll probably make the Nobel Peace Prize short list this year.
I couldn't be more depressed.
You see, vacation mishaps are a tradition in my family. My sisters and I saw America from the back seat of a pale green Country Squire station wagon. In the front seat were our parents, embroiled in a bitter map fight that continues to this day.
At least every one of our trips had one minor disaster, like the time we got trapped in the Sturgis, South Dakota biker rally. Or the time our car was towed by a giant, leather-clad San Franciscan man named Dr. Hook. Or the time we were camping in Arizona and all of our down sleeping bags ripped open, covering everyone with sticky, white feathers that had to be sprayed off with ice cold water from the campground hose. Then, of course, there was the legendary New Mexico mud puddle crash of 1978 that was so intense, it permanently sealed shut the wagon's passenger doors. My dad still doesn't know how that one happened.
I knew my bad trips would continue into adulthood when the highlights of my honeymoon were a hurricane evacuation and an infestation of flying ants. And, of course, kids are born travel problems. I'm still apologizing to the passengers who suffered through a four-hour flight filled with my son's repeated screams of "We're going down, brotha!"
However, while I've learned that horrible vacations might not make you relaxed, they do make you popular. Come home talking about your great time and nobody gives a crap. But stagger in covered in bruises and lacerations and saying things like, "Thank God for the American embassy" or "You can bet those fuckers at Dollywood ain't never gonna see ME again!" and you've got an audience. That's why the real reason I want to visit Mexico has nothing to do with the sun and fun. It's because just one night in Mexican jail and I'm booked on the cocktail party circuit for the next two years.
I originally recorded a version of this for broadcast on Austin's NPR station, KUT, in March of 2007.
