Man vs. Fat Sandwiches
About 100 students skipped class, stood on flower planters, cars and the Grease Trucks yesterday to catch a glimpse of Travel Channel host Adam Richman as the network filmed an episode of the series, "Man v. Food" at the RU Hungry Grease Truck on the College Avenue campus.
Richman attempted to take the "Fat Sandwich Challenge" — eating five fat sandwiches in 45 minutes, which RU Hungry Grease Truck Owner Ayman Elnaggar said has been attempted by about 250 people in the last five years. Of them, 16 were successful, he said.
As the tradition goes, if a person can finish five fat sandwiches within the given time limit, a new sandwich gets named after the challenger.
"It's a great thing to give people the opportunity to create their own sandwiches," Elnaggar said. "I strongly believe if we [are a] success, it's Rutgers students' success [also]."
Many of the onlookers in the crowd said they were avid fans of the show and enthusiastic that the host could finish the sandwiches.
"I think he can do it, I've seen some crazy stuff, I think he's got this," said School of Arts and Sciences first-year student Eric Mann.
School of Arts and Sciences junior Tom Nucum said he came out to watch the filming of "Man v. Food" because he watches the show religiously.
"It's a challenge that I've never actually seen attempted," he said. "It's good to see someone take it down, and hopefully in the future I can eat a 'Fat Adam.'"
School of Arts and Sciences senior Stephen Kropa said he saw Richman last Saturday outside of the Homecoming game.
"It was really fun to see him walking around, and I've been saying it for years he should come here and do this challenge," Kropa said.
A crowd of University students formed a circle around Richman while he filmed the introduction to the challenge.
Among those in the crowd was Darrell Butler, the namesake of the "Fat Darrell" sandwich.
Butler, a 1998 University alumnus, said when he was a college student, there was only one kind of sandwich — the "Fat Cat."
Tired of eating the "Fat Cat," Butler said he made a special request to the Grease Trucks one night.
"What I wanted the whole week was chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks [and] fries, but separately [that] would have cost $10 or $12, [and I] didn't have $10 or $12," he said. "But I did have enough for a 'Fat Cat.'"
Butler said he asked the employees at the Grease Trucks if they could make a sandwich like the "Fat Cat," but with the aforementioned ingredients. He said the next 10 people that were in line behind him ordered the same thing, and the truck sold 50 "Fat Darrells" that first night.
"It's been the number one seller since," Butler said.
He said he has been on other TV shows on the Food Network and the Travel Channel, such as "Extreme Pig Outs." Butler said he was there yesterday to coach Richman through the challenge.
"We have a strategy going; he's trying to pick things that aren't [too heavy]. … He's going to get something a little thinner, so he should be able to pull this off," he said. "He hasn't eaten all day, he's been training for it, so he should be good."
As Richman finished the sandwiches, Elnaggar ran them out to him from the Grease Trucks one by one, still hot from the kitchen.
Elnaggar said the Travel Channel also came to the Grease Trucks to film a different show last year but there was not a large crowd turnout because it was during winter break.
Despite students not being present at last year's filming, he said the episode's airing helped bring in a lot of business.
"It feels real good that our food can be on a Rutgers campus," Elnaggar said. "It feels like a family and mom's kitchen."
Despite cheers and shouts from the crowd encouraging Richman to take "one more bite," after consuming four fat sandwiches, the host exceeded the 45-minute time limit and failed to complete the challenge.
Students stayed after the challenge to ask Richman questions on camera as part of the "press conference" portion of the episode. The host also took photos and signed autographs with students.
The New Jersey episode of "Man v. Food," will premiere on Dec. 9 on the Travel Channel, according to their official Web site.

The Orioles could be racing to fill their roster after injuries to two key starters on Thursday.
First baseman Mark Reynolds took a pitch to the outside of his left hand, but remained in the game after several minutes of being checked out by head trainer Richie Bancells.
Following the game, his thumb was visibly swollen beneath a huge ice wrap, but he said he was confident nothing was broken and that he'd be able to play Friday.
"You know, I'm sure it will be sore in the morning," Reynolds said. "But I'll just ice it."
Also, right fielder Chris Davis was scratched from the starting lineup before Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Angels with a right trapezius strain.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the club has made "contingency plans," but that X-rays would be taken before any moves are made.
If they make a DL move, the club would be able to recall infielder Steve Tolleson, who normally couldn't be activated until his 10-day window since his last option is fulfilled Saturday.
Following the game, the Orioles optioned right-hander Jake Arrieta, so they have to make a corresponding move before Friday's game. They would likely fill that spot with a pitcher.
The team added an extra position player on Thursday, recalling first baseman Joe Mahoney to fill the spot vacated by right-hander Chris Tillman, who was optioned to Double-A Bowie so he could still pitch over the all-star break.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior pitcher Heather Brown (Pasadena, Md./Northeast) and sophomore catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) each earned conference honors on a 3-3 weekend for UMBC softball. Hall was named America East Player of the Week, while Brown garnered pitcher of the week recognition.
"This is quite an accomplishment for both Heather and Taylor, as well as our UMBC softball team," said head coach Joe French. "They both had outstanding weekends as we try to improve our young team. We are working very hard to improve daily and weekly. This is well deserved to both of them as they continue to lead our team by example."
Brown led the Retrievers in the circle over the weekend, accounting for two of UMBC's three wins at the UMBC Retriever Classic, both victories coming in complete game shutouts, and finishing the weekend without allowing a run. The senior earned her first-career shutout on Saturday against Morgan State, allowing three hits and striking out a season-best seven batters. Brown faced just 16 batters in her second outing of the weekend, surrendering one hit and one walk in the contest.
"For just her third week back from a 10-month rehab, including time off for her offseason surgery, it was outstanding to see Heather have such a magnificent weekend," French said. "She was spectacular, throwing two gems for us and earning her first two career shutouts."
Hall led the team in batting average (.611) and runs batted in (11) on the weekend, while registering a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .571 on-base percentage in six games at the UMBC Retriever Classic. Hall opened the weekend with a perfect 3-3 performance from the dish in an 18-2 victory against Morgan State. The sophomore launched her third home run of the season to account for UMBC's only run against St. Francis and came back on Sunday to pelt her team-leading fourth of the year. Hall leads the team with 23 RBI on the year, the only Retriever with double-digit runs batted in.
"Except for the last game, I thought we swung the bats very well in the weekend's cold weather," admitted French. "Taylor had an exceptional weekend for us offensively."
The Retrievers host their second tournament of the year in the UMBC Dawg Pound Invitational starting on Friday, March 8 and going through Sunday, March 10.

A Walmart manager was fired for his Muslim remark on Facebook.
In Hamburg, New York, two Muslim women walked into a Walmart store in full attire, wrapped from head to toe, setting off the part in this Walmart manager's brain that didn't think things through. He shared a picture of the two women on Facebook in a very inappropriate manner.
The Muslim remark that got Walmart manager Terry Earsing fired was on that same photo, which was captioned, "Halloween came early this year … do they really have to f***ing dress like that … your in my country … get that sh** off!!!!!."
A Walmart spokeswoman later told Buffalo News, "As soon as we became aware, we began looking into this and as a result, this associate is no longer with the company. We set high expectations for our associates, and this associate clearly failed to meet these expectations at every level."
The company is known for its incentive program that encourages employees to excel in order to achieve better raises, and this Walmart manager couldn't even meet the demands he set for the people he was in charge of. The Walmart manager ended up fired for his Muslim remark on Facebook.
It seems these days people are getting more and more careless with what they post on social media, not realizing that their postings can be used against them, much like at least one man who posted his drunk driving shenanigans and was arrested, as previously reported by The Inquisitr. It does matter what you say because it's public.
Later on, the Walmart manager who was fired said that the picture was given to him by a friend and all he did was add the caption, which was clearly what got him fired. Terry Earsing went on to say he was very sorry for what was said, and that it had only started out as a joke. He also said he did not post the photo while at work, but it doesn't matter when or where it's said, if the public can read or hear it.
When you don't think things through, like the Walmart manager who was fired for his Muslim remark on Facebook, the joke is on you.

It's been a busy few days here and stress levels have been high. Middle son took his car in to be repaired Monday (a friend has a repair shop). He rented a car from Hertz for 5 days, returning it yesterday. To sum up the 'mess' – driving that son to work, youngest back & forth to school & work, Friday night special needs group Gym Night – all busy & stressful BUT . . . this morning topped the charts. Pick up for finished car: 9 a.m. – driving almost an hour to get it (thank heavens, husband did the driving!). Middle son had a bank envelope with $400 cash to finish paying car repairs. I get a call from husband – did he leave the envelope on the diningroom table? I searched – looking on porch, driveway, etc. – no envelope. Called the bank (they stopped there to use walk-up ATM) – no one reported finding an envelope but they'd keep our information just in case – it was worth a shot, I thought. Time passes, son arrives back home with repair-guy friend. Son moves lots of papers on diningroom table and BEHOLD – he finds the envelope! THANK YOU. LORD!I had looked, but didn't move any paperwork (silly me). Stress levels for middle son/husband and myself have been at their peaks today – SOooooooo glad it's leveled off. What a start to a day, eh? Have to drive youngest to work around 3:45, but that's less than 5 minutes away, so that's a no-brainer. Other than that, I'm good for a relaxing day (I hope). Got the small order of 4 small skeins of the new yarn I mentioned a few blogs ago – it knits up looking like the old cotton chenille bathrobes – really soft & cosy. Now have 17 baby hats done – had to take a break yesterday – overstressed the right wrist muscles. So glad to finally have talked to the lady at the hospital who heads up the program. Her voice was very calm, her demeanor very easy-going: "No rush! Whenever you're ready to bring them, give me a call & I'll meet you." Interesting! It's funny – I love to knit (but you KNOW that) – and baby hats are fun because they don't use a lot of yarn AND you can vary the colors countless ways. I have a large garbage bag full of various bits of baby-weight/sport weight yarns, none of them big enough to knit or crochet a larger object, but just right for baby hats. If I have about a half-skein, that's enough for a regular-sized baby hat. If it's less yarn, it becomes a premie hat. If it's just a little bit, it becomes the brim for either regular or premie hats! All the way around it's a Win/Win situation! Don't remember if I mentioned before that a friend of mine who works at a nursing home called to tell me she has a very LARGE amount of yarn, am I interested? SURE! Anything I can't use I can pass on to the knit group ladies and I know THEY ALWAYS are happy to get free yarn! (original pick up was supposed to be Thursday, but she called to say that her manager decided to let the nursing home residents have the 'first shot' at the yarn, before me. No problem – they SHOULD get first shot!) Next scheduled yarn 'viewing' and pick up is Tuesday – I'm excited! Her original description to me was: a dishwasher BOX and several large garbage bagfuls of lots of rather expensive yarns -(WOO HOO!) It reminds me of when I first started "The Ghana Project"; another friend who also works at a nursing home (not the same one) called with that very same offer – I ended up bringing home about 3 very big garbage bags of yarn – that was the beginning. When I finally closed "The Ghana Project" I gave most of my yarn to the Cancer Center along with all the remaining squares I had, for them to make lap robes for the chemo patients. I kept three big plastic tubs of yarn for myself (I still have those). Don't know about you (and how 'yarny' you are) but . . . even though I have more than enough yarn right now for myself and the baby hats/chemo hats projects – the prospect of new yarns excites me! I'm going to try to be very selective this time through – but can't guarantee not picking up a few skeins of 'nice/expensive yarns' for some scarf projects for gifts in the future. (She DIDN'T ask if I was only picking it up for charity work! – she just said: "Can you use it?") Excited for Tuesday!
So glad for the weekend to relax a bit – next week is shaping up to be somewhat like this last one was. Monday night is our first (of the Fall) Ladies Fellowship at church. It's a 2 hour get together; light supper, short devotion and a little time to just chat – just what women love doing! This time it's bring an appetizer; I'm good at coming up with entrees or desserts, but appetizers? I've decided to cruise Gordon Food Services (where my son used to work) and see what they've got to offer in their frozen appetizer section. (Son assures me they carry quite an assortment). Yes, I could go through my recipes (some I've posted here) for appetizers, but I just don't feel like going to a lot of work making them. I have my really tasty Bean Dip, but it's rather spicy and most ladies don't go for that. Oh well – we'll see how that goes on Monday night.
Because I was giving my wrists a rest from knitting, grabbed one of the 50 cent used paperbacks I bought a few weeks ago – stumbled onto: "The Winner"by David Baldacci. This one grabs you right from the first page – premise: What if someone could guarantee you would be the next big lottery winner? Keeps you on the edge of your seat; main character is a very poor young unwed mother, raising her less-than-a-year old baby by waitressing. Lots of intrigue, murder, action, suspense and I'm only 1/4 of the way through the book! Just checked with the library – he's written LOTS of suspense/murder/mystery books – looks like I'm going to be reading for quite awhile! I LOVE finding a new (to me) author I like!
Having looked through about 8 recipe site postings, there's lots of football-weather/fall soups, stews, hug-your-ribs foods. (Still have a few summer salads to give you – hope you don't mind).

Weather-wise we're still in the beginning stages of Fall – cooler weather but not too cold (sweater weather) – today at 11:50 a.m. it's 59 degrees & sunny. We've had some lovely afternoons – blue skies, big fluffy clouds, gentle breezes with some of the leaves beginning to fall from the trees. (I know that we're headed for cold gray days with rain, but for now I'm happy with what I've got). Stopped at the local fruit/veggie stand the other day for another batch of big tomatoes (for BLT's) and some nice zucchini (hate to buy it, knowing that years ago friends were almost bribing their friends to take some of the excess zucchini). I have a rather simple recipe for what I call Zucchini Casserole – husband, middle son & I like it (youngest doesn't); that's on the menu soon. Also have some really nice pork country spareribs that will have to be cooked pronto – got them on a mark down.
Hope you're enjoying a nice day – remember to relax a little, smile a little (even laugh!) – we only have one 'go' through this life – we might as well ENJOY it! (right???)

15 Aug How Can I Lower My Car Loan Balance in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy? Redemption.
Your car is worth a whole lot less than you owe on it, and you're in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Is there a way to lower your loan balance?
In a Chapter 13, you may be able to do a cramdown, where you reduce the loan balance to the car's value, but you can't do a cramdown in a Chapter 7. Chapter 7 instead allows you to "redeem" the car. What is a redemption and how does it work?
When you redeem your car, you pay a lump sum of cash equal to the retail value of the car. For example, if your car would sell for $10,000 at CarMax, and you owe GMAC $15,000 on it, you'd have to pay GMAC $10,000.
"Great," most people say. "I'm in bankruptcy because I can't pay my bills, and you want me to come up with $10,000 I don't have. Not much of an option!" This is absolutely correct, except for one thing: believe it or not, there are many lenders who are willing to loan you money to redeem your car, even while you're in the middle of your Chapter 7.
Needless to say, good credit is *not* a requirement for these loans, but a steady job usually is. These loans normally run 4-5 years, and you'll pay a hefty interest rate–around 25% APR. But even with this, the savings may still be worth it.
Ask your attorney whether redemption would be right for you.

I couldn't help but think about his legacy in the Pacific Northwest. Although well-documented, it's worth celebrating his true impact. He co-founded a software giant creating tens of thousands of jobs. He reinvigorated the Southlake Union neighborhood. He donated billions to philanthropy and science. He saved the Seahawks when it looked like a move from Seattle was eminent. He brought the city a Super Bowl. He now has a young, talented Portland NBA team with a rabid fan base that is making its own storybook ending. As Seattle residents, we should enjoy the ride and appreciate this man's great achievements. I am excited to see what he can do next! — Joe Grant Bluechel, Seattle NFL Draft Seahawks' 2nd-round picks poorly advised The Seahawks' second-round choices were poorly advised. Both Paul Richardson of Colorado and Justin Britt of Missouri may become very successful players. But that isn't the point. They were taken in the second round when all media sources had them going later in the third round at best and most in the fourth or fifth rounds. The Seahawks should have traded down and selected them later, gaining valuable picks in the trades. To suggest, as the Seahawks did, that another team was just about to take them when they reached for James Carpenter in 2011 and Bruce Irvin a year later is hard to swallow. These choices have a bad flavor as well. The Seahawks do so well in later rounds they should just sell their first two rounds. — Angel Hewit, Issaquah NBA Stealing Clippers isn't the answer Geoff Baker did a great job in his column about the Los Angeles Clippers and the unlikely move to Seattle ("Seattle Clippers? Don't count on it," Monday). In my eyes, if Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer purchase a team like the Clippers and take them away from a city and fan base that loves them, they're just as bad (or worse) than Clay Bennett. Seattle's best hope at a new team appears to be expansion. As far as the time frame of said expansion? Don't hold your breath. Why not forget the old rivalry and root for the Blazers? I hear that Damian Lillard kid is halfway decent at basketball. — Sean Larson, Seattle Still not a fan of OKC, league I was a life-long Sonics fan. To this day I cannot watch Oklahoma City play and I won't watch them play until Seattle gets a team. The final straw was when David Stern basically stood in the way of Sacramento moving to Seattle. The new commissioner will be no different. I love basketball! I played it in high school and college and later became a college referee. While I appreciate Larry Stone's column ("Can we stick our toes back in the NBA water?" Tuesday), and he made points both ways, I will remain a non-fan of the NBA! — Andrew Hovren, Spokane Valley UW crew Sentence Times editors to pull oars The UW women's varsity eight beat international rowing power Great Britain at the Windermere Cup, but the headline on Sunday, May 4, over the large picture of the Husky men's eight, blared, "Huskies can't catch Brits." This is, of course, wrong; the Husky women did catch the Brits. When each crew wins one, it's called a split. Including the photo caption and the "Inside" box, there are three mentions of the men losing before a request to turn to page C3 to read about the women's victory. What a lousy way for the home-town press to treat a local world-class women's sports program. The Seattle Times sports editors should be sentenced to 30 minutes on the ergometer as penance. — Mark Langley, Seattle Shame on you for imbalance The UW women won their race. Their picture is on Page 3 of the Sports section. UW men lost their race. Their large picture is on Page 1 of the Sports section. Shame on you. — Susan Wright, Shoreline College football Pac-12 shouldn't worry about ninth league game You have to like the occasional scrutiny (read obsession) of Bud Withers and his updates about SEC football. This time, it was Bud's shocking expose ("Pac-12 coaches call out SEC for not playing by same rules," May 2) that all of the other big BCS conferences would require members to play nine conference games, whereas that sneaky, calculating SEC was protecting its teams by only requiring eight. If I were the Big Ten or Pac-12 and had seen another conference monopolize the BCS Championship Game the last eight years, I would cry foul, too. Maybe Pac-12 supporters should concentrate on the quality of teams played and strength of schedule, including nonconference games, instead of worrying whether USC or Stanford might get knocked out of the BCS title game by having to go to such powerhouse venues as Utah or Colorado. — Jim Varnell, Normandy Park Send us your backtalk: Letters bearing real names, addresses and telephone numbers for verification are considered for publication.

Are These 2 Massive Biotech Losses Worth Chasing?
The losses in shares of Ariad Pharmaceuticals and Amarin are simply horrendous. Both companies received some bad news that will affect short-term revenue, but does this bad news mean that both stocks are a sell, or is either a buy?
What happened to Ariad?
Ariad has lost 85% of its value in the month of October and now trades with a market cap of $515 million.
The massive loss came after Ariad announced the suspension of new enrollment in trials of it its leukemia drug Iclusig. Then, additional losses came on Friday once Ariad announced that its latest stage study was being canceled. Iclusig was approved by the Food and Drug Administration last year, began marketing this year, and much of its future lied in the company's ability to expand its use.
However, a "black box warning" for cardiovascular problems exists, and many have feared that these problems would increase with additional testing and/or higher doses. Now, there is concern as to when trials will continue and if Iclusig will ever be approved for any of its eight additional indications.
The FDA has already responded to this news, saying "FDA is investigating an increasing frequency of reports of serious and life-threatening blood clots and severe narrowing of blood vessels of patients taking ponatinib ... including heart attacks resulting in death, worsening coronary artery disease, stroke, narrowing of large arteries of the brain, severe narrowing of blood vessels in the extremities, and the need for urgent surgical procedures to restore blood flow."
This response doesn't look good for Ariad.
What happened to Amarin?
Amarin fell more than 60% on Thursday, giving it a market cap of $330 million.
The loss came after an FDA panel voted 9-2 against the expansion of Amarin's fish oil drug Vascepa to a larger patient population. The drug is used to lower high triglycerides, but Amarin was hoping to expand to patients with heart disease and high triglycerides who are receiving statin.
What's encouraging is that Amarin's REDUCE-IT trial is not complete, and this was simply an attempt for early approval; The final data is not expected until 2017. However, much of Vascepa's blockbuster potential relied on this indication, one that is 10 times larger than Vascepa's current patient population.
Is either a buy?
While both stocks have clearly collapsed on news, sometimes the reaction presents a good opportunity.
Last year, shares of Questcor Pharmaceuticals fell from $52 to under $20 after a company investigation was announced, and news emerged of tightened coverage by Aetna on its drug Acthar. Yet, one year later, sales continue to soar 60% while shares sit near all-time highs and have rallied 250% since those lows. Therefore, massive losses became a great buying opportunity.
The question is whether a Questcor-like performance applies to either Ariad or Amarin.
In the case of Ariad, its drug might not be effective at a less toxic dose. Iclusig is used at 45 mg and its results are only moderately better than Novartis' Tasigna. Therefore, what happens if the dose is lowered, the results are less effective, and the side effects are still worse than with Tasigna? Also, now that one of its studies has been stopped, does this mean that all future clinical testing will halt? Hence, it is a delicate scenario, one that is very risky.
With everything that's happened, we must assume now that Iclusig will not be expanded, and then pray that current sales are not affected by the clinical hold on current studies. William Blair has been one of the more bullish firms, guiding for peak worldwide revenue of $2 billion while others have estimated only $1 billion. Already, Blair has issued a note saying it expects peak worldwide sales of $700 million with its current treatment of CML on patients who are resistant to other treatments. Once more, this is likely aggressive, but has Ariad trading at about one times peak sales potential.
With Amarin, we are simply in a waiting game, as investors are more so selling on the added time until approval versus the likelihood of no product expansion. In addition, investors assume that Amarin will have to raise money to finish the trial and to continue marketing Vascepa.
Still, Leerink Swann estimates that peak Vascepa sales (by 2030) are $1.2 billion if never approved for the added indication. Therefore, Vascepa already has peak sales potential over $1 billion, and with a market cap of $330 million, it is trading at just 0.3 times peak sales.
Final thoughts
Clearly, Amarin is presenting the best investment opportunity, and even if Leerink is off by a mile with its estimates, Amarin is still presenting value. The reason is its peak sales potential relative to market capitalization. Vascepa is already an FDA-approved product and does not have health risks associated with its use. In the case of Iclusig, we don't know what actions the FDA may take. If people are facing severe health risks, then Iclusig's trials may never complete.
With all things considered, Amarin at $2 looks to be a pretty sound investment opportunity. Prior to Thursday's massive loss, the stock had already fallen from $15 to $5 since 2012 on poor sales performance. Therefore, expectations are actually quite low considering the size of its market. Amarin has no doubt gotten off to a sloppy start, but at $2 there might be green days ahead.

Apple should get its own house in order
A little of the shine came off Apple on Monday, as shares of the Cupertino electronics giant sagged even with the news that sales of the new iPhone 5 reached more than 5 million units in the three days it's been in stores.
Analysts had predicted sales as high as 10 million phones over the weekend.
Making matters worse, a mass brawl on Monday between security guards and about 2,000 Chinese employees at an iPhone assembly plant in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan shut down all assembly there. Local paramilitary police and company officials are still investigating the violence, but employees are accusing the factory guards of beating up workers at the factory.
This isn't the first time that Apple's been linked with bad labor practices at its overseas operations, where it employs about a million people. In June, about 100 workers went on a violent spree at another Apple-subcontractor plant in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu.
Still, this latest incident is extremely disturbing. We urge Apple to do its own investigation, instead of relying on the word of Chinese paramilitary police and company bosses. At the very least, it seems clear that these plants need dispute-resolution processes for workers and the managers who are in charge of the factories.
Apple may indeed improve matters at its overseas plants, if for no other reason than it's affecting the company's bottom line - that Taiyuan plant will be closed for at least a couple of days, complicating the supply chain at the very moment when assembly for the iPhone 5 needs to be running smoothly.
Analysts might be disappointed, but 5 million phones is still a huge number, and the phone is supposed to launch in another 22 countries this Friday. Any supply constraints will have an immediate impact on the phone's success.
Long term, of course, the biggest threat to Apple's future isn't analysts or even worker problems - it's smartphones that run on Google's Android software. In a move that outraged even Apple's most passionate fanboys, the company removed YouTube and Maps, two popular Google-owned products, from the latest version of its iPhone software. Apple also has a suit pending against Google's Android software.
Clearly, Apple wants to knock Android phones from their dominant position in the marketplace. But the company needs to focus on getting its own house in order first.

The Godless Perverts Story Hour on Saturday went off without a hitch, and we're still feeling a little euphoric from it. If you were there, thanks so much for your support, and we hope you had as much fun as we did. If not, we really hope that you'll join us next time around. Tomorrow will a good opportunity to come and meet up with us, if you feel so inclined: we're having the first Godless Perverts Munch at Wicked Grounds Café. It's a pretty laid-back event, where everyone just drops by to hang out, but we do think that it's hugely important in its way. Part of what we're trying to do is build community so that atheists with alternative sexualities and genders have a place to land, instead of just feeling like they're the only one in the room.
Not only did we have great readings from everyone, but we gave away blasphemous sex toys (courtesy of our friends at Divine Interventions) and Greta showed off a pair of stunning (and somewhat lethal-looking) steampunk-themed stilettos. We're really proud that we got so many great writers and performers together for one evening, who had so many different things to say. That says a lot about the potential of this project and where we can go with it.
- Liberty N. Justice read an erotica story about a woman having an affair via text message with a pastor who had stopped believing in god. The contrast between her experience with desire and his hesitation to indulge made for some very enticing tension.
- Chris Hall read a personal essay called "Why Sex is Not Spiritual" that he originally published in the SF Weekly last year. For those of you who with some experience in alt-sex communities, the idea that sex has to somehow be sacred is probably a familiar one. (@LiteratePervert)
- Greta Christina read a selection from her latest collection of erotica, Bending: Dirty Kinky Stories About Pain, Power, Religion, Unicorns, & More. The story was about a very real phenomenon: Christian Domestic Discipline, which is kind of a way of making consensual BDSM acceptable according to "Biblical" standards. Greta's book is now available via Kindle and Nook, and if you want to learn more about it, the introduction has been posted on her blog. (@GretaChristina)
- Victor Harris read two poems: one about believing in an invisible dragon who coughed up the universe and the solar system (and then learning not to believe in the dragon), and one about taking a vacation on a lover's body, exploring each body part as if it were an entirely new place.
- David Fitzgerald read a very interesting piece of biblical scholarship
from his book Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All.(Correction: the reading actually came from David's unpublished work, The Ten Thousand Christs and the Evaporating Jesus. You should still read Nailed.) It dealt with the apostle Paul's homophobia and misogyny, and how his own writings might indicate that he was actually a self-loathing gay man. (@DGCFitzgerald)
- Kate Sirls shared her memories of traveling as a Mormon missionary and being seduced by a woman she was trying to share the Word with. As a result, she found that the idea that sometimes God was not watching her was not so frightening at all.
- Heina explored the role of women in Islam, especially the sexual implications of paradise. While men ascend to paradise and have their pleasures attended to by the virgins, women must wait to be called to paradise by their husbands. (@futilityfiles)
Again, it was a great evening, and thank you to everyone who performed and who came to see the show.

For convienence, I've linked to the NexusMod page for each Skyrim add-on, in case you want to try any of these out. If you're new to modding, check out Nexus' step-by-step guide. It's easier than it looks.
You can also find some of these on Skyrim's Steam Workshop page, but you can't mix and match those with the Nexus versions -- and many of the Nexus mods I'm listing aren't available through the Workshop. You have an impossible decision ahead of you. Do you want the simplicity of the Steam Workshop? Or do you want Animated Fart Shouts?
Here's the thing with Animated Fart Shouts: It's janky and juvenile and is completely superfluous to the gameplay expreience. In other words, it's everything you thought it could be.
As life-changing as this mod may seem, it's not really altering much of the game code. Shouts are still shouts, only the Dragonborn is popping a squat beforehand. And yet, the simple animation tweak does wonders. Tell me you can watch someone fart so hard they sprint through a gate and not feel anything in the "haha butts are funny because that's where the poop comes out" part of your brain.
Part of the hilarity might come from how it subverts the well-worn "Chosen One" trope. In the game, you're this vaunted savior with incredible powers. But with AFS, you're a terrifying asshole who can incinerate people with his own flatulence.
Yeah, there are a ton of graphical upgrades and UI improvements you can download to make Skyrim an all-around better game. But you've gotta have priorities.
The foodstuffs in Skyrim are one of the most lovingly-crafted items in the game. They're certainly better than the dopey citizens that walk around towns spouting the same three lines from five different voice actors. With the Staff of Sweet Rolls, you can make the world a tastier, less boring place by evening the odds. All you have to do is blast any living thing with the Staff, and they'll be transmogriphied into a delicious pastry.
It's especially convienent for hoarding 28 sweet rolls to eat all at once right before you die fighting two dragons, but it does have a nasty side effect of potentially breaking your whole game. See, even though the Staff of Sweet Rolls makes you feel a little like Majin Buu, there are no Dragon Balls to wish everyone back to life after you've zapped them into sweets. Rollify the wrong NPC and you could annihilate an important or even a vital questline, and you won't have anything but a formerly human baked good to show for it.
That said, if you live by the credo of "F5 and Do It Live," you might want to get the quicksave ready for The Staff of Cheese. It's like the Staff of Sweet Rolls, but with cheese rolls. Lots and lots of cheese rolls.
If you've modded your game to this point you could probably just spawn all the cheese wheels you want without sacrificing digital lives, but then your cheese wheels wouldn't have that savory post-human flavor.
Becoming a werewolf in Skyrim isn't really worth it. You have to go through one of the game's weaker plotlines to get the power, and when you do go into beast mode everyone freaks out and a bounty is put on your head. But, as with everything that has ever existed, there's a mod that makes it a little bit more fun.
Boom! Who cares about wolfing out when you can chair out and glide around the world as the realm's most menacing piece of furniture? Laugh all you want, you're only risking your own esophogus being torn out by a disgruntled Pee Wee's Playhouse prop.
All the mod really does is replace the werewolf with a simple chair model that has no frames of animation whatsoever, but that's what makes it so bizarre and hilarious to behold. Unfortunately, the mod community has yet to one-up themselves with the next logical step: "Werecheesewheel."

Dehydration results from excessive loss of fluids from the body or not enough fluid replacement.
To work properly, the body requires a certain amount of water and other elements, called electrolytes. Drinking and eating help to replace fluids and electrolytes that have been lost through the body's functions. Fluids are normally lost through sweat, urine, bowel movements, and breathing. If a lot of fluids are lost and not replaced, dehydration can occur.
Risk Factors
Dehydration is more common in children younger than 2 years and people aged 65 years or older, especially those with chronic illness.
Other factors that may increase the chances of dehydration:
Symptoms vary depending on the degree of dehydration. Symptoms may include:
Dehydration can be extremely serious and life threatening. It may require immediate medical care.
The doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The doctor will test bodily fluids. This can be done with:
Therapy aims to rehydrate the body, replace lost electrolytes, and prevent complications. If there is an underlying condition, the doctor will treat that as well.
Treatment may include:
Fluid Replacement
If there is minimal or moderate dehydration, the doctor may have fluids replaced fluids by mouth. The following may be needed:
IV fluids will be given to rapidly replace fluids in cases of severe dehydration.
The doctor may recommend the following medications:

Various diets claim you can lose weight and keep it off for good by following a dietary pattern based on your particular body type. While most body-type diets are based on the shape of your body, Elliot D. Abravanel's body-type diet is based on four glands -- adrenal, pituitary, thyroid and gonad. If your pituitary gland is the dominant gland, you're considered a P-type, according to Abravanel, author of "Dr. Abravanel's Body Type Diet and Lifetime Nutrition Plan."
Glandular Body-Type Premise
Abravanel asserts that of the four major glands, you have one gland that is dominant and that this dominant gland influences your metabolism. Eating based on your dominant gland helps prevent overstimulation and keep your body in balance, according to Abravanel. In his book, Abravanel claims that certain foods stimulate, inhibit or have a neutral effect on the four major glands and that eating the wrong foods for your glandular type promotes weight gain. Scientific evidence to support body-type diets is lacking.
Rundown of P-Types
The pituitary gland is dominant in P-types. This gland regulates the hormone production of various endocrine glands, including the thyroid, a gland that controls metabolism. If your pituitary gland is dominant, you tend to crave dairy, particularly cheese, and sweets of all kinds. These foods stimulate the pituitary gland, according to Abravanel. When it comes to digestive health, P-types are more prone to developing gallbladder disease. The gallbladder plays a role in helping to digest dietary fat.
Diet for P-Types
The goal for P-types is to avoid overstimulating your pituitary gland. This means P-types must aim to eat dairy and sweets only on rare occasions, according to Abravanel. The best diet for P-types is a high-protein diet consisting of plenty of lean protein. This includes meat such as lamb, chicken, turkey and beef as well as eggs, legumes and fish. A diet for a P-type is rich in fresh vegetables, especially leafy greens. Abravanel recommends that P-types eat fruit and whole grains in moderation and avoid processed junk foods as much as possible.
Typical P-Type Menu
On a P-type dietary plan, protein is the star of the show, so aim to build your meals around protein. A Southwestern-style egg white omelet with green onions, corn and tomatillo salsa is a typical breakfast on a P-type diet. A good lunch for P-types is chicken with asparagus and black beans. P-types tend to have a slower metabolism in the evenings, according to Abravanel, so you'd do best to have a light dinner. An example is 3 ounces of shrimp with 1/2 cup of broccoli and a small piece of fruit.

Upcoming Webinar: The Future of Incident Response
Improving Enterprise Incident Response
What happens when you combine increasingly effective adversaries, data dispersing to the cloud, and a significant lack of skilled security practitioners? More breaches, and more problems. We've found ourselves in the middle of a security renaissance where there are a plethora of security tools, but unfortunately they still aren't able to do enough to stop breaches from happening on monumental levels. (It's like the more security tools we come across, the more breaches we see!)
Despite having access to a bigger budget and better tools than ever before, the underlying way enterprises respond to these incidents must evolve with the times. But what does that mean, exactly? Join Mike Rothman, Analyst & President at Securosis, and Faizel Lakhani, COO & President at SS8, as they discuss the growing trends in today's cyber attacks and incident response.
They will cover three main areas:
- There are two main things to consider when attempting to collect the traffic that flows across an enterprise network:
- The scale at which organizations send traffic across their networks
- The impact of BYOD and Cloud Architecture disrupting traditional methods of traffic capture
- Once you have the data, you can leverage rapidly evolving techniques to analyze traffic behavior and quickly spot anomalies in your network.
- What role will service providers play in the future of incident response? And how will these organizations work with cloud providers who host much of the data? This section will detail how organizations can ensure proper governance of the incident response process.
Reserve your spot today to learn what you can do now to ensure your organization is ready for the changes already in motion, and how network visibility plays a crucial role in accelerating breach and incident response.
Got plans that day? No problem! You can still register to receive an on-demand copy of the webinar to view at your leisure.

Automotive clutch explained
A clutch is a mechanical device that provides for the transmission of power (and therefore usually motion) from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member) when engaged, but can be disengaged.
Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion must be controlled either in amount or over time (e.g., electric screwdrivers limit how much torque is transmitted through use of a clutch; clutches control whether automobiles transmit engine power to the wheels).
In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts). In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to a motor or other power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft (the driven member) provides output power for work.
In a torque-controlled drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they may be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds (disengaged).
Friction clutches
Friction clutches are by far the most well-known type of clutches. The purpose of friction clutches is to connect a rotating member to one that is stationary, to bring it up to speed and to transmit power with little slippage.
- Materials
Various materials have been used for the disc friction facings, including asbestos in the past. Modern clutches typically use a compound organic resin with copper wire facing or a ceramic material. A typical coefficient of friction used on a friction disc surface is 0.35 for organic and 0.25 for ceramic. Ceramic materials are typically used in heavy applications such as trucks carrying large loads or racing, though the harder ceramic materials increase flywheel and pressure plate wear.
- Push/Pull
Friction disk clutches generally are classified as push type or pull type depending on the location of the pressure plate fulcrum points. In a pull type clutch, the action of pressing the pedal pulls the release bearing, pulling on the diaphragm spring and disengaging the vehicle drive. The opposite is true with a push type, the release bearing is pushed into the clutch disengaging the vehicle drive. In this instance, the release bearing can be known as a thrust bearing (as per the image above).
- Dampers
In addition to the damped disc centres, which reduce driveline vibration, pre-dampers may be used to reduce gear rattle at idle by changing the natural frequency of the disc. These weaker springs are compressed solely by the radial vibrations of an idling engine. They are fully compressed and no longer in use once the main damper springs take up drive.
- Load
Mercedes truck examples: A clamp load of 33 kN is normal for a single plate 430. The 400 Twin application offers a clamp load of a mere 23 kN. Bursts speeds are typically around 5,000 rpm with the weakest point being the facing rivet.
- Manufacturing
Modern clutch development focuses its attention on the simplification of the overall assembly and/or manufacturing method. For example drive straps are now commonly employed to transfer torque as well as lift the pressure plate upon disengagement of vehicle drive. With regard to the manufacture of diaphragm springs, heat treatment is crucial. Laser welding is becoming more common as a method of attaching the drive plate to the disc ring with the laser typically being between 2-3KW and a feed rate 1m/minute.
Multiple plate clutch
This type of clutch has several driving members interleaved or "stacked" with several driven members. It is used in race cars including F1, IndyCar, World Rally and even most club racing, motorcycles, automatic transmissions and in some diesel locomotives with mechanical transmissions. It is also used in some electronically controlled all-wheel drive systems. It is also used in some transfer cases.
Wet vs. dry
A wet clutch is immersed in a cooling lubricating fluid that also keeps surfaces clean and provides smoother performance and longer life. Wet clutches, however, tend to lose some energy to the liquid. Since the surfaces of a wet clutch can be slippery (as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oil), stacking multiple clutch discs can compensate for the lower coefficient of friction and so eliminate slippage under power when fully engaged. The Hele-Shaw clutch was a wet clutch that relied entirely on viscous effects, rather than on friction.
A dry clutch, as the name implies, is not bathed in liquid and should be, literally, dry.
A centrifugal clutch is used in some vehicles (e.g., Mopeds) and also in other applications where the speed of the engine defines the state of the clutch, for example, in a chainsaw. This clutch system employs centrifugal force to automatically engage the clutch when the engine rpm rises above a threshold and to automatically disengage the clutch when the engine rpm falls low enough. The system involves a clutch shoe or shoes attached to the driven shaft, rotating inside a clutch bell attached to the output shaft. The shoe(s) are held inwards by springs until centrifugal force overcomes the spring tension and the shoe(s) make contact with the bell, driving the output. In the case of a chainsaw this allows the chain to remain stationary whilst the engine is idling; once the throttle is pressed and the engine speed rises, the centrifugal clutch engages and the cutting chain moves. See Saxomat and Variomatic.
Cone clutch
As the name implies, a cone clutch has conical friction surfaces. The cone's taper means that a given amount of movement of the actuator makes the surfaces approach (or recede) much more slowly than in a disc clutch. As well, a given amount of actuating force creates more pressure on the mating surfaces. The best known example of a cone clutch is a synchronizer ring in a manual transmission. The synchronizer ring is responsible for "synchronizing" the speeds of the shift hub and the gear wheel to ensure a smooth gear change.
Torque limiter
Also known as a slip clutch or safety clutch, this device allows a rotating shaft to slip when higher than normal resistance is encountered on a machine. An example of a safety clutch is the one mounted on the driving shaft of a large grass mower. The clutch yields if the blades hit a rock, stump, or other immobile object, thus avoiding a potentially damaging torque transfer to the engine, possibly twisting or fracturing the crankshaft.
Motor-driven mechanical calculators had these between the drive motor and gear train, to limit damage when the mechanism jammed, as motors used in such calculators had high stall torque and were capable of causing damage to the mechanism if torque wasn't limited.
- Carefully designed clutches operate, but continue to transmit maximum permitted torque, in such tools as controlled-torque screwdrivers.
Non-slip clutches
Some clutches are not designed to slip; torque may only be transmitted either fully engaged or disengaged to avoid catastrophic damage. An example of this is the dog clutch, most commonly used in non-synchromesh transmissions.
Major types by application
Vehicular (general)
There are different designs of vehicle clutch but most are based on one or more friction discs pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. The friction material varies in composition depending on many considerations such as whether the clutch is "dry" or "wet". Friction discs once contained asbestos but this has been largely eliminated. Clutches found in heavy duty applications such as trucks and competition cars use ceramic clutches that have a greatly increased friction coefficient. However, these have a "grabby" action generally considered unsuitable for passenger cars. The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed thus either pushing or pulling the diaphragm of the pressure plate, depending on type. However, raising the engine speed too high while engaging the clutch causes excessive clutch plate wear. Engaging the clutch abruptly when the engine is turning at high speed causes a harsh, jerky start. This kind of start is necessary and desirable in drag racing and other competitions, where speed is more important than comfort.
Automobile powertrain
In a modern car with a manual transmission the clutch is operated by the left-most pedal using a hydraulic or cable connection from the pedal to the clutch mechanism. On older cars the clutch might be operated by a mechanical linkage. Even though the clutch may physically be located very close to the pedal, such remote means of actuation are necessary to eliminate the effect of vibrations and slight engine movement, engine mountings being flexible by design. With a rigid mechanical linkage, smooth engagement would be near-impossible because engine movement inevitably occurs as the drive is "taken up."
The default state of the clutch is engaged - that is the connection between engine and gearbox is always "on" unless the driver presses the pedal and disengages it. If the engine is running with clutch engaged and the transmission in neutral, the engine spins the input shaft of the transmission, but no power is transmitted to the wheels.
The clutch is located between the engine and the gearbox, as disengaging it is required to change gear. Although the gearbox does not stop rotating during a gear change, there is no torque transmitted through it, thus less friction between gears and their engagement dogs. The output shaft of the gearbox is permanently connected to the final drive, then the wheels, and so both always rotate together, at a fixed speed ratio. With the clutch disengaged, the gearbox input shaft is free to change its speed as the internal ratio is changed. Any resulting difference in speed between the engine and gearbox is evened out as the clutch slips slightly during re-engagement.
Clutches in typical cars are mounted directly to the face of the engine's flywheel, as this already provides a convenient large diameter steel disk that can act as one driving plate of the clutch. Some racing clutches use small multi-plate disk packs that are not part of the flywheel. Both clutch and flywheel are enclosed in a conical bellhousing, which (in a rear-wheel drive car) usually forms the main mounting for the gearbox.
A few cars, notably the Alfa Romeo Alfetta, Porsche 924, and Chevrolet Corvette (since 1997), sought a more even weight distribution between front and back by placing the weight of the transmission at the rear of the car, combined with the rear axle to form a transaxle. The propeller shaft between front and rear rotates continuously as long as the engine is running, even if the clutch is disengaged or the transmission is in neutral.
Automobile non-powertrain
Cars use clutches in places other than the drive train. For example, a belt-driven engine cooling fan may have a heat-activated clutch. The driving and driven members are separated by a silicone-based fluid and a valve controlled by a bimetallic spring. When the temperature is low, the spring winds and closes the valve, which lets the fan spin at about 20% to 30% of the shaft speed. As the temperature of the spring rises, it unwinds and opens the valve, allowing fluid past the valve, makes the fan spin at about 60% to 90% of shaft speed. Other clutches—such as for an air conditioning compressor—electronically engage clutches using magnetic force to couple the driving member to the driven member.
