For this study, we utilized a transgenic mouse expressing human mutant MYOC Y437H protein and we examined its skeletal (gastrocnemius) muscle phenotype. Electron micrographs showed that sarcomeres in the skeletal muscle of mutant CMV-MYOC-Y437H mice had multiple M-bands.
chaperone alphaB-crystallin (CRYAB) is a MYOC-binding partner and that co-expression of these two proteins increases protein aggregates.
mutant myocilin induces abnormal ECM accumulation in the ER of TM cells, which may be responsible for reduced outflow facility and IOP elevation in myocilin-associated glaucoma.
Mutated myocilin and heterozygous Sod2 deficiency act synergistically in a mouse model of open-angle glaucoma
myocilin promotes cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis via the ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathway.
Myocilin binds to ErbB2/ErbB3, activates these receptors, and affects the downstream PI3K-AKT signaling pathway
Myocilin also stimulated osteogenic differentiation of wild-type MSCs, which was associated with activation of the p38, Erk1/2, and JNK MAP kinase signaling pathways
We suggest that intracellular myocilin plays a role as a regulator of muscle hypertrophy pathways, acting through the components of dystrophin associated protein complex.
Results suggest that expression of mutated myocilins may have a sensitization effect to oxidative stress, which can lead to a severe open-angle glaucoma phenotype in combination with oxidative stress.
The TIGR is implicated in resistance to oxidative stress. Despite the presence of a SOD motif, which is necessary for protection in mammalian cells, the protein is not a functional SOD, but might be involved in SOD activity.
TIGR is a newly identified component of the CNS glial scar that is likely to contribute to neuronal regenerative failure characteristic of the mammalian CNS.
Results do not support a causative role for increased MYOC levels or the MYOC gene in steroid-induced glaucoma.
Results show that myocilin and gamma-synuclein interact and as a result, myocilin's properties are changed.
These data suggest that production, apparent misfolding, and nonsecretion of mutant MYOC are not, by themselves, sufficient to cause glaucoma in vivo.
Tg animals expressed Myoc in tissues of the irido-corneal angle and the sclera. Expression of mutated Myoc induced the accumulation of Myoc in cell cytoplasm and prevented its secretion into the extracellular space.
Expression of equivalent levels of mutated human or mouse myocilin in the eyes of transgenic mice produce comparable pathologic changes that are similar to those observed in patients with glaucoma.
myocilin induced the formation of stress fibers; myocilin modulates Wnt signaling by interacting with components of signaling pathwaysin the eye
Two novel variants of the MYOC gene were detected among sporadic primary open-angle glaucoma patients
Study explored the localization and biological role of human myocilin in some non-ocular tissues and found that it is present in plasma, some lymphoid tissues and leukocytes and data also indicate that it reduces the adhesion of human circulating leukocytes to cultured endothelial cell monolayers.
Estimating the age of the p.Cys433Arg variant in the MYOC gene in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
While MYOC damaging alterations were highly prevalent (34%), CYP1B1 damaging variants were less frequent (2%) in this cohort of Brazilian juvenile open angle glaucoma patients.
Data suggest that the ultimate goal of myocilin (MYOC) research is to better understand this target so the patient that carries a MYOC mutation retain vision and maintain quality of life.
Structure and misfolding of the flexible tripartite coiled-coil domain of glaucoma-associated myocilin has been reported.
single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 3 of MYOC is associated with glaucoma.
Juvenile onset open angle glaucoma and adult onset POAG form a spectrum of phenotypes. we analyzed the common variants in MYOC and CYP1B1 that were shared among all the three phenotypes .An interesting finding was that, while, many CYP1B1 variants were found in all three types of glaucoma, there was no reported MYOC variant, that was common to all the three primary glaucomas.
We report a five-generation pedigree with a complex pattern of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) inheritance; familial clustering of POAG in this pedigree is consistent with dominant inheritance of a glaucoma-causing gene, mutations were not detected in genes previously associated with autosomal dominant glaucoma, suggesting the involvement of a novel disease-causing gene in this pedigree.
present work reveals that FOXC1 is an important regulator of exocytosis and establishes a new link between FOXC1 and MYOC-associated glaucoma
The four detected MYOC mutations appeared to be associated with morphologic changes in the trabecular meshwork and the underlying pathogenesis of a subtype of familial primary open angle glaucoma.
The mutations c.1456C < T (p.L486F) in MYOC and c.322G < A (p.V108I) in B4GALT3 are likely responsible for the pathogenesis of Primary Open-angle Glaucoma in this family.
Our findings demonstrated that MYOC cascade genetic testing for POAG allows identification of at-risk individuals at an early stage or even before signs of glaucoma are present. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the clinical utility of predictive genetic testing for MYOC glaucoma.
The significance of this finding is that higher numbers of healthy individuals in the population are expected to be carriers of this mutation, which in turn reduces the utility of identifying carriers of this mutation as a screening tool for glaucoma
regulation by retinoic acid acts through the MYOC promoter which contains a critical cluster of four retinoic acid responsive elements (RAREs), with the RARE-DR2 presenting the strongest effect and binding the RARalpha/RXRalpha heterodimer.
Five out of 30 families with PCG (16.7%) had disease attributable to CYP1B1 alterations suggesting that CYP1B1 is not the major gene causing PCG in Vietnamese unlike in the case of Arab or Romany patients.
The present study provides insight into the genetic or haplotype variants of MYOC and OPTN genes contributing to primary glaucoma. Haplotype variants identified in the present study may be regarded as potential contributing factors of primary glaucoma in Korea.
Familial linkage studies for primary angle-closure glaucoma have been performed and identified MYOC causative primary angle-closure glaucoma disease
endoproteolytic processing might regulate the activity of myocilin; the inhibition of the processing by pathogenic mutations impairs the normal role of myocilin
MYOC encodes the protein myocilin, which is believed to have a role in cytoskeletal function. MYOC is expressed in many occular tissues, including the trabecular meshwork, and was revealed to be the trabecular meshwork glucocorticoid-inducible response protein (TIGR). The trabecular meshwork is a specialized eye tissue essential in regulating intraocular pressure, and mutations in MYOC have been identified as the cause of hereditary juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma.

Priscilla Okyere played her fourth game in this year's UEFA Women's Champions League. The striker lasted the entire duration of the game as her side, Subotica lost to Bayern Munich in a round 16 tie by 7 goals to nothing. Huge!
The Serbian side managed 7 shots on goal as opposed to the German's 27. Priscilla and her side face a possible elimination with a reverse trip to the Bavarians.
Priscilla Okyere scored 2 times against Breznica in an earlier qualification tie. The 23 year old also recently won the United IFF tournament in Spain as she played the entire game in the final against Sporting CP.
The former Maidens captain who joined the Serbian outfit from Ampem Darkoa Ladies in July this year is expected to feature for the Queens during the Nations Cup to be played in Ghana.
Elsewhere, Nana Welbeck didn't feature in Saravejo's 0-5 defeat to Chelsea. The former Brescia and Odense player has managed as little as 34 minutes for her new club in this year's Champions League.

YA? Why?
YA? Why?
Last year my first novel hit the bookstores, a story about a boy in his final year of high school dealing with small town life, his crazy parents, and a painful crush on his homophobic best friend. I thought there might be a few wrinkles involved in marketing it, but I assumed it would be the gay content that would cause the confusion. I was so wrong. Nobody seemed to care if my main character was gay or straight. The problem was that he was young. 'Is this really general fiction?' people would ask me. 'Isn't it YA?'
'No way!' I'd answer, and my reasons for this were fairly simple.
YA (Young Adult) is an umbrella term for any book written for a teenage audience, and I didn't write the book for teenagers. I didn't write it for anybody; I never thought it would be published. So with no audience in mind besides myself and my writing buddy Brendan (both of us post-40 oldsters), I made no adjustments to vocabulary, length or subject matter beyond what I thought would work. The first time someone asked me about genre,
I just shrugged. 'It's a story,' I said. 'Does it really need a genre?'
The answer is yes. When I met with publishers and agents at the 2012 Novel Fair at the Irish Writers' Centre, certain questions kept popping up. What's the genre? Where do you see it in the bookstore? What other novels is it like? (If you're a writer, you know this is about as easy to answer as 'What other people are you like?') Consumers are easily overwhelmed by choice, and the first thing they seem to want to do when confronted with variety is to start shutting doors and setting up categories. Booksellers have to offer them categories they'll feel comfortable with.
So what is YA, anyway? Well, besides, being written for teenagers, YA novels have a reputation for being fast moving, concise, and entertaining. Or as librarian Angela Reynolds told me, 'the books take off right from the get-go – none of this lollygagging about describing feelings ad infinitum, they get right to the action.' Maybe this means YA has turned into the Pixar of the literary world, ostensibly meant for a young audience but attracting anyone who prefers a good story over page-long metaphors. In that case, why would anyone object to being labelled YA?
Well, beyond the loss of the adult share of the reading public, there is the fear that your book won't be taken seriously. YA novels don't get to sit at the awards table with the grown-ups, no matter how good they are. And there are other problems. The idea of writing for young people makes me come over all mom-like. I probably wouldn't have had everyone in the book swearing so much if I'd set out to write for teenagers. Or smoking dope on a regular basis, or jumping into awkward sexual encounters at the first opportunity, or driving under the influence, or any of the unwise behaviour the characters in Cinnamon Toast get up to. I would have wanted to protect my innocent young readers – who in reality would probably know a lot more about risky behaviour than I do.
But there's another, simpler, reason why I'm reluctant to have my book taken for YA. The truth is, I'm afraid of teenagers.
No offence, young people. I was afraid of them when I was a teenager. Especially then. There was nothing more terrifying than walking past a group of the cool kids hanging out by the water fountain back in Junior High. 'Please don't notice me', I'd silently pray. 'Or at least don't say anything to make me feel horrible.' Nobody excels at scorn and ridicule like a teenager. Would I want to see my poor little book in the crosshairs of all that youthful contempt? Would you?
But to be fair, I'm only thinking about faceless groups and not individuals here. In reality, a serious conversation with a teenager seldom feels any different to me than a conversation with an adult, although the latter are less likely to react with horror when I tell them my age. When I was in my late teens I was
lucky enough to have several friends who were adults. What made them my friends? I knew that they saw me as an equal rather than some kid. Maybe we should be treating teenage literature the same way.
I've read loads of YA books and enjoyed them. Sometimes I didn't even know I was reading YA. I'd found the books second hand or as ebooks and read them with no preconceptions – I didn't assume a young protagonist meant a separate genre. After all, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared was never marketed as OA (Old Adult?). I'm happy to read about characters of all ages and backgrounds, and most people I know feel the same. In a perfect world, YA is a genre boundary I'd like to see erased. Or if we want to signal that a book is an entertaining page turner with a young perspective, I suppose we could keep the YA tag but make the letters stand for something else, something completely arbitrary. Yelling Apples? It might work.
Genres exist, and readers should feel free to use them or ignore them as they see fit. I count myself lucky if anyone at all reads my work. And if you want to call my book a Yelling Apple novel, well that would be just fine.

The first three will let you find out by what a statement (from V$SQL) is fired, which is probably what you need. If x$kglnaown is null in x$kglrd, the row refers to a PL/SQL block (command type 47 in V$SQL) and you find the corresponding (address, hash_value) in x$kglcursor. Otherwise, it refers to the x$glnaown.x$kglcnam stored object.

Hey Everyone,
Fall is upon us and we are having some amazing "Indian Summer" weather here in Michigan this week. We had a fairly easy month in September after all the major touring of the Spring and Summer. It was nice just to chill out a little bit. Ive been working on the new live CD which we hope to release in early Spring, 2012 (March/April) for my Southern Hemisphere friends. Our shows at Scooters in Michigan, Fitzgeralds in Chicago were a lot of fun. The new Bring It Festival in Flint, Michigan was amazing. The organizers had an entire wall of original graffiti styled artwork being created while the festival was running. It was incredible to see. There were arts and crafts booths full of interesting items such as jewelery, Flint Comic books, clothing and art. Very cool! Our show at The Livery in Benton Harbor, Michigan was also alot of fun. At The Player's Pub in Bloomington, Indiana we got to jam with our good friend Justin Brown who just about stole the show.
On the way to the Rootenanny Festival in Ellsworth, Michigan as we were driving up highway 131, I started to feel quite ill. Bobbi offered me a banana so I ate it thinking that it might calm my stomach. What happened next was like something out of a horror movie. With my two hands on the driving wheel, my stomach launched a huge projectile of creamy banana colored vomit all over the dashboard and the entire front section of the van. This all happened while I was driving. I managed to pull the van safely over to the side of the highway. I guess it was that jalapeno burger that I scoffed down at Wendy's about an hour earlier. That's road food for you. Oh My God, what a drama!!. Thankfully our guitarist Matt Besey had a roll of toilet paper to mop up the mess! We made our way to the fabulous Rootenanny with an incredible road story to tell.
On a sad note, our amazing drummer Marc Dixon, after five years of touring with my band "Midwest Kind", will be going off the road. His last show will be on Sunday October 9 @ Scooters in Flint, Michigan. We wish him all the very best for the future and thank him for his fine contribution to my music. We welcome Scott Key our former drummer, who Marc originally replaced in 2007. Its very cool to have Scott back in the band. In October we will be heading to Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida. Included is our regular visit to our special needs kids at the Buckingham Exceptional Student Center in Fort Myers Florida for a Halloween show. Can't wait!!
We hope to see you out on the road this Fall.

Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. The band was founded in September 1995 by percussionist Shawn Crahan and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in its early years, the band settled on nine members for more than a decade: Corey Taylor, Mick Thomson, Jim Root, Paul Gray, Craig Jones, Sid Wilson, Shawn Crahan, Chris Fehn and Joey Jordison. Gray died on May 24, 2010, and was replaced from 2011–14 by former guitarist Donnie Steele. Jordison left the band on December 12, 2013. Steele left during the recording sessions for .5: The Gray Chapter because he wanted to focus on his marriage. The band is now touring with replacement musicians Alessandro Venturella on bass and Jay Weinberg on drums. After the departure of Jordison, as of December 2015 the only founding member in the current lineup is percussionist Shawn Crahan; the other remaining members of Slipknot have been members since the release of the band's 1999 eponymous debut.
Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive style of music, and energetic and chaotic live shows. The band rapidly rose to success following the release of their eponymous debut album in 1999. The 2001 follow-up album, Iowa, although darker in tone, made the band more popular. After a brief hiatus, Slipknot returned in 2004 with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), before going on another hiatus and returning in 2008 with its fourth album, All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. After another long hiatus, Slipknot released its fifth studio album, .5: The Gray Chapter, in 2014. The band has released a live album titled 9.0: Live, a compilation album titled Antennas to Hell, and four live DVDs. In 2015, Slipknot headlined the Download Festival in the UK for the third time.
Early Days
In the years before Slipknot formed, a state of shifting band membership existed throughout the metal scene in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1991, the biggest metal band in Des Moines was Atomic Opera, with Jim Root on guitar. Drummer Joey Jordison founded a thrash metal band called Modifidious, playing at a club called Runway. Modifidious opened for Atomic Opera on December 1, 1991, at the Runway, after which their guitarist left for the more successful Atomic Opera. Jordison replaced him with local guitarist Craig Jones.[4] Drummer Shawn Crahan formed another Des Moines band called Heads on the Wall, playing funk metal cover songs at clubs and releasing a demo tape in July 1992. A fourth Des Moines band called Vexx played death metal with Anders Colsefni on drums, Paul Gray on bass, and Josh Brainard on guitar and vocals. Colsefni later took over vocal duties, but Vexx never recorded. During this time, Crahan often went to the Runway on Sundays when the club opened to all ages, where he met other young musicians with whom he could jam. By March 1993, Crahan was jamming with vocalist Colsefni, bassist Gray and guitarist Pat Neuwirth, writing and playing songs in Gray's basement, discussing possible band names such as Pull My Finger, but never making a final decision. One of the songs they recorded was titled "Slipknot"; another was titled "Painface", which Colsefni later used to name his band Painface.
In 1993, a new band called Inveigh Catharsis formed in Des Moines, with Gray on bass, Brainard on guitar and Colsefni on drums. Jordison jammed occasionally with this group. Brainard eventually left to join Jordison and Jones in Modifidious, participating in demo recordings at the end of '93 and early in '94. During 1994 Modifidious sometimes played the same shows as Crahan's Heads on the Wall band. Gray formed a death metal band called Body Pit, soon becoming popular in the local scene. Modifidious stopped playing in the wake of death metal's increasing pull. Gray failed to get Jordison to join Body Pit, but soon after he recruited local guitar teacher Mick Thomson, the band broke up.
In September 1995, Crahan and Gray started a band named the Pale Ones. The lineup was made up of friends who met through the local music scene, including vocalist Colsefni and guitarist Donnie Steele. Not long after their inception, Gray invited Jordison to a rehearsal because the band was interested in experimenting with additional drum elements. Jordison subsequently joined the band as their main drummer, moving Crahan to custom percussion. Furthermore, Colsefni also took up custom percussion while remaining the band's vocalist. The band then decided to invite Brainard as their second guitarist, bringing their lineup to six members. On December 4, the band made their live debut; playing a benefit show using the name Meld.
Much of the band's early development was retrospectively attributed to late-night planning sessions between Gray, Crahan and Jordison at a Sinclair gas station where Jordison worked nights. It was there, in late 1995, that Jordison suggested changing the band name to Slipknot after their song of the same name. In December, Slipknot began recording material at SR Audio, a studio in the band's hometown. Without a recording budget, the band was forced to self-finance the project, the costs of which came to an estimated $40,000.[10] In February 1996, guitarist Donnie Steele decided to leave Slipknot due to his Christian beliefs. When questioned in 1999 about Steele's departure, Jordison explained: "We were prepared to keep him on, but he didn't want to stay." During the mixing stages of their project at SR Audio, Craig Jones was recruited as Steele's replacement on guitar. However, throughout their time in the studio, the band were adding samples to their recordings but could not produce these sounds live. Subsequently, Jones became the band's sampler and Mick Thomson was brought in as the replacement guitarist. After a complicated time with mixing and mastering, the band self-released Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. on Halloween, October 31, 1996.
Distribution for the demo was initially left to the band and their producer Sean McMahon, before it was handed over to the distribution company Ismist in early 1997. Slipknot received a small amount of airplay on local radio stations off the back of the demo. However, it did not lead to any kind of interest from record labels, so the band returned to the studio to develop new material. It was at this time that the band sought more melodic vocals for their music. As a result, Corey Taylor was recruited from fellow Des Moines band Stone Sour; this moved Colsefni to backing vocals and percussion. While working in the studio, Slipknot continued to do local shows, during one of which in September 1997, Colsefni announced on stage that he was leaving the band. The gap on percussion was filled by Greg Welts, who was affectionately known as "Cuddles." In early 1998, Slipknot produced a second demo featuring five tracks exclusively for record labels. The band began to receive a lot of attention from record labels, and in February 1998, producer Ross Robinson offered to produce their debut album after attending rehearsals in Des Moines. Soon after, DJ Sid Wilson was recruited as the band's ninth member after showing great interest and impressing band members. In late June, Slipknot received a $500,000, seven-album deal, from Roadrunner Records; the band signed the deal publicly on July 8, 1998. Two days prior to this, Welts was fired from the band, something which Slipknot refuse to comment on. Welts was replaced by Brandon Darner, who departed from the band shortly after joining.
Slipknot and Emergence (1998-2000)
Chris Fehn was brought in to replace Darner on percussion before Slipknot traveled to Malibu, California, to work on their debut album in September 1998. Partway through the recording process of the album, Slipknot returned to Des Moines for the Christmas period. During that period, guitarist Brainard decided to leave the band. Brainard said, "some decisions were made that I wasn't particularly happy with". Slipknot later recruited Jim Root to complete their lineup and the band returned to Malibu to continue work on the album. Work on the album concluded in early 1999, allowing the band to go on their first tour as part of the Ozzfest lineup in 1999. Ozzfest greatly increased Slipknot's audience, furthering the band's success with their self-titled album that was released on June 29, 1999. Slipknot released its first home video Welcome to Our Neighborhood, which was directed by Thomas Mignone, and the singles "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out", which were also directed by Mignone. The singles received some airplay, but Slipknot quickly developed a large following, mainly from touring and word of mouth. The band toured several countries throughout 1999 and 2000 in support of the album. In early 2000, Slipknot was certified platinum; a first for an album released by Roadrunner Records.
Iowa and Hiatus (2001-2003)
Anticipation for Slipknot's second album was intense. In early 2001, the band began recording the second album at Sound City and Sound Image studios in Los Angeles. Around this time, conflicts arose between band members due to extensive touring and recording schedules. Recording of their second album ended in February 2001 and the band embarked on their Iowa World Tour. Entitled Iowa, Slipknot's second album was released on August 28, 2001; it peaked at number three on the Billboard album charts and at number one on the UK album chart. The album produced three singles; "The Heretic Anthem" (promotional single), "Left Behind", and "My Plague", which appeared on the soundtrack for the film Resident Evil. In 2002, Slipknot appeared in Rollerball (2002), performing the song "I Am Hated" in a scene. The release and intense promotion of the album resulted in sold-out shows in large arenas in several countries.
In mid-2002, Slipknot went on hiatus because of internal conflicts. This temporary split allowed several band members to focus on various side projects. Vocalist Taylor and guitarist Root revived their band Stone Sour, drummer Jordison created Murderdolls with Wednesday 13 on vocals,percussionist Crahan founded To My Surprise and DJ Wilson went solo as DJ Starscream. For a while, the future of Slipknot was uncertain and there was much speculation about whether there would be a third album, or if the split would become permanent. Despite this, on November 22, 2002, Slipknot released their second DVD, Disasterpieces.
Volume 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and Second Hiatus (2003-2007)
After several delays, Slipknot moved into The Mansion in Los Angeles, California, in mid-2003 to work on their third album alongside producer Rick Rubin. By early 2004, work on the album had finished and the band began The Subliminal Verses World Tour with their appearance on the Jägermeister Music Tour in March 2004. Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) was released on May 24, 2004; it peaked at number two on the Billboard album charts. The album produced six singles; "Duality", "Vermilion", "Vermilion, Pt. 2", "Before I Forget", "The Nameless", and The Blister Exists. Slipknot recorded its first live album, 9.0: Live, while touring in support of the band's third album. Released on November 1, 2005 9.0: Live peaked at number 17 on the Billboard album charts. Touring in support of Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) continued through 2004 and up to the end of 2005 before Slipknot went on hiatus for the second time.
In 2005, several members of Slipknot were involved in Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions, an collaborative album recorded by artists signed to Roadrunner Records for the labels 25th anniversary. 2006 saw Slipknot win their first Grammy Award, picking up the Best Metal Performance award for the single "Before I Forget". On December 5, 2006, Slipknot released its third DVD Voliminal: Inside the Nine. While Slipknot was on hiatus, several band members again focused their attentions on side projects; vocalist Taylor and guitarist Root returned to Stone Sour, drummer Jordison toured with several bands and produced 3 Inches of Blood's third album Fire Up the Blades, Crahan founded Dirty Little Rabbits and Wilson returned as DJ Starscream once again.
All Hope is Gone, Third Hiatus, and Gray's Death (2007-2010)
Preparation for Slipknot's fourth album began towards the end of 2007; work began at Sound Farm Studio in Jamaica, Iowa, with producer Dave Fortman in February 2008. The album was finished in June, and the band the All Hope Is Gone World Tour on July 9, 2008. Slipknot's fourth album, All Hope Is Gone, was released on August 20, 2008, debuting at number one on the Billboard albums chart. The album produced five singles; "All Hope Is Gone", "Psychosocial", "Dead Memories", "Sulfur" and "Snuff". 2009 marked the 10th anniversary of Slipknot's debut album; to commemorate the event, the band released a special edition version of Slipknot on September 9, 2009. The band toured in support of the album throughout 2008 and continued until October 31, 2009, resulting in Slipknot's third hiatus.
During the hiatus, several band members focused on respective side projects; Taylor founded Junk Beer Kidnap Band and returned to Stone Sour with guitarist Root; Crahan continued working with his band Dirty Little Rabbits; and drummer Jordison returned with his band Murderdolls and became the new permanent drummer of Rob Zombie. Percussionist Fehn is now a full-time bassist with metalcore band Will Haven and Sid Wilson founded the eponymous band Sid.[citation needed]
In 2010, Gray was planning to tour with the supergroup, Hail!, but on May 24, 2010, he was found dead in a Urbandale, Iowa hotel room.[53][54] Circumstances surrounding his death at the time were not immediately known; an autopsy suspected his death was not intentional but did not reveal the cause. The day after his death, the remaining eight members of the band held a live, unmasked, press conference alongside Gray's widow and brother. On June 21, the cause of death was confirmed as an accidental overdose of morphine and synthetic morphine substitute fentanyl.
The band was hesitant to comment on the future of Slipknot. The members made conflicting statements in interviews; drummer Jordison told The Pulse of Radio "there is another Slipknot record already kinda in the making". Vocalist Taylor told FMQB Productions' he was "very conflicted about whether or not [he wants] to do anything with Slipknot". The band released their fourth video album (sic)nesses on September 28, 2010; it debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Music Video Charts. The DVD features Slipknot's entire live performance at the 2009 Download Festival and a 45-minute film documenting their tour in support of All Hope Is Gone, and served as a tribute to Paul Gray.
Return to the Stage, Antennas to Hell, and Knotfest (2010-2012)Regarding the continuation of Slipknot, Taylor told NME Gray would want them to continue and he felt they should but he was ambivalent about returning to the band. Slipknot returned to touring in 2011, performing a small number of shows in Europe. They headlined the Sonisphere Festival and Rock in Rio alongside Iron Maiden and Metallica, and performed at Belgium's Graspop Metal Meeting. Donnie Steele substituted for Gray in the concerts; he was positioned behind Jordison and obscured from the audience's view.
Slipknot also said the band would complete and release the band's fifth studio album, and that there were no plans to replace Gray. Jordison said the writing process for the album had already begun and that he had written 17 songs. Slipknot performed at Mayhem Festival 2012.
On May 29, 2012, Roadrunner Records posted a teaser video titled Antennas to Hell on its website. Later that day, on Twitter, Corey Taylor said Slipknot will release a greatest hits album on June 17, 2012. He also said the band was not yet recording new material but was putting together demos for a new album.
Slipknot's first annual music festival, called Knotfest, was held on August 17, 2012, at Mid-America Motorplex near Pacific Junction, Iowa, and on August 18, 2012, in Somerset, Wisconsin. Deftones, Lamb of God, Serj Tankian also performed at the festival. The festival shows also debuted a Slipknot museum. On 14, June 2013, Slipknot headlined the Download Festival for a second time. The band performed to roughly 90,000 people and was twice forced to stop the set—once in the middle of a song—to allow the front barricade, which had split open under crowd pressure, to be repaired.
Jordison's Departure, .5, The Gray Chapter, and New Members (2013-Present)
Production of the band's fifth album began in late 2013. Taylor described the album as "very dark" and a cross between Iowa and Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses). Guitarist Jim Root did not participate in Stone Sour's January tour so he could write material for Slipknot.
On December 12, 2013, the band announced through its official website that Joey Jordison had left the band after 18 years, citing personal reasons. On his official Facebook page, Jordison later said he "did not quit Slipknot" and that he was "shocked" and "blindsided" by the news. Both Jordison and Slipknot independently promised to release further details about the split. Taylor said Jordison would not be appearing on the new album because he did not participate in any songwriting sessions before his departure.
In July 2014, Slipknot began releasing teasers for the new album on the band's website and social media using cryptic messages and gory imagery. "The Negative One", the band's first song in six years,was released on August 1; it was accompanied by a music video directed by Crahan that was released four days later. The video did not feature any band members. On August 24, Slipknot released an official radio single titled "The Devil In I", and the name of the upcoming album was announced as .5: The Gray Chapter on iTunes, with an expected release date of October 28. The release was later preponed to October 17 for the Netherlands and Australia, October 20 for the UK and October 21 worldwide.
Slipknot began touring North America in support of the album on October 25 at the second iteration of Knotfest. The tour dubbed the "Prepare for Hell" was co-headlined by Korn with King 810 as support. The band also performed at 2015's Soundwave festival in Australia. A bassist and drummer were brought in to replace Gray and Jordison respectively; Crahan designing a mask that would differentiate them from the band. The official video for "The Devil In I", featuring musicians wearing modified versions of the band's old masks—with the exception of Taylor who wore a new mask—was released on September 12. Fans speculated upon the identities of the drummer and bassist shown in the video but the band did not officially name them.
Taylor later said he was upset at the leak of the identity of the bassist, alleged to be Alessandro Venturella because of a unique tattoo on his hand. Root told Guitar World the drummer's identity would not be released, and that the bassist and the drummer were not permanent members of the band. On December 3, a former Slipknot road crew member posted a photograph of a touring band personnel list that confirmed bassist Alessandro Venturella and drummer Jay Weinberg were members of the tour.[100] The new musicians had been viewed unfavorably by some of the band members; Shawn Crahan told Kerrang! magazine, "This is Slipknot, fuck both of those guys ... [t]hey'll never be in the band. Never." Taylor also said the two "got a crack at designing their own masks and they failed miserably", and they were wearing masks given to them by the band.
"The Negative One" was nominated for the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the 57th Grammy Awards.
On March 11, 2015, while the band was not touring, guitarist Mick Thomson was hospitalized after a drunken knife fight with his brother at Thomson's home in Iowa. The pair sustained serious, but non life-threatening, injuries. On August 2, 2015, during a concert in Hartford, Connecticut, the band was forced to stop performing after Venturella was suddenly rushed to hospital, after undergoing a medical emergency. After 20 minutes, singer Taylor told the audience the band would continue the concert, performing without Venturella. It was later discovered that Venturella had collapsed because of extreme dehydration. During the band's following three concerts, Venturella played bass from backstage, returning to the stage on August 8.
Style and Lyrical Themes
Slipknot's music is influenced by many styles and bands including hard rock and heavy metal bands Kiss, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Faith No More, Helmet, Tool, Slayer, Fear Factory, Skinny Puppy, Neurosis, Judas Priest, Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Beastie Boys. The band is regarded as a pioneer of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal; its output has been compared to that of Pantera, Machine Head, Hatebreed, Life of Agony, and Prong, among others.
Slipknot is considered a nu metal band. The band's members prefer to distance themselves musically from other nu metal bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit. Slipknot describes its sound as "metal metal" and regards the link to nu metal as coincidental and a result of nu metal's emergence being concurrent with that of Slipknot. The band's sound typically features a heavily down-tuned guitar setup, a large percussive section, samples, and turntables. Using a variety of vocal styles, the music typically features growled vocals, screaming, backing vocals, and occasional melodic singing. The band has continually experimented with its sound—most notably developing tracks led by acoustic guitars and melodic singing that first appeared on Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses).
Slipknot's lyrics are generally very aggressive; they sometimes include profanity while exploring themes such as darkness, nihilism, anger, disaffection, love, misanthropy, and psychosis. They often draw upon topics including the music industry, politics, personal strife, and reflection, among others. Rick Anderson of Allmusic said, "those lyrics that are discernible are not generally quotable on a family website". On Vol. 3, Taylor deliberately avoided using profanity in response to claims he relied on it. The album All Hope is Gone saw a change to a standard metal style that includes elements of groove metal, death metal, and thrash metal. The band has also been considered alternative metal.
Slipknot is known for its chaotic, energetic live shows that contributed to the band's success. During performances, most of the band's members headbang, stage dive, and fight. The band's early performances included extreme acts such as stage dives from high balconies and band members setting each other on fire. In recent years, they tended to refrain from acts this extreme. Ex-bassist Gray said this was due to receiving lawsuits and to avoid harming other people, and that it was a "better move" for the longevity of the band. Along with the energetic and unpredictable performances, Slipknot often use elaborate stage setups that use pyrotechnics, elevated stage areas, hydraulic drum risers, and computer screens. Reviewing a Slipknot performance, Alistair Lawrence of Kerrang! said, "the choreographed chaos is too multi-faceted to fully describe". and NME described one Slipknot show as "a scene of chaos".
Image and IdentityThe band is known for its attention-grabbing image; the members perform wearing unique, individual facemasks and matching uniforms—typically jumpsuits—while each member is typically assigned and referred to by number based on their role in the band (#0 through #8), although the latter practice has diminished following the death of Paul Gray.
The band has said the idea of wearing masks stemmed from a clown mask that Crahan took to rehearsals when the band first started. Crahan later became known for his clown masks, adopting the pseudonym "Shawn the Clown". The concept developed; by late 1997, the band decided every band member would wear a unique mask and matching jumpsuit. Taylor said in 2002, "it's our way of becoming more intimate with the music. It's a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music. It's a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it." The concept of wearing matching jumpsuits has been described as a response to commercialism in the music industry and led to the idea of assigning the band members numerical aliases. According to Taylor, "Originally, we were just going to wear the jumpsuits ... we figured we might as well take that further and number ourselves ... We were basically saying, 'Hey, we're a product!'".
During their careers, the members of Slipknot have developed their images, updating their uniforms and each member's mask upon the release of each album. The appearance and style of the masks do not usually differ significantly between albums; members typically maintain the established theme of their mask while adding new elements. Jordison, in an interview in 2004, said the masks are updated to show growth within each individual. Slipknot's members have worn special masks for specific occasions, most notably for the music video and live performances of "Vermilion" in 2004 and 2005 when they wore life masks made from casts of their own faces. In 2008, the band wore a set of large masks titled "purgatory masks" during photograph shoots before the release of All Hope Is Gone; in the music video for "Psychosocial" they are seen burning them. Shortly after its inception, Slipknot's masks were homemade, but since 2000 they have been custom-made by special effect artist and musician Screaming Mad George.
The band's image has been the subject of much criticism and controversy, with critics generally accusing it of being a sales gimmick. The band's members object to these claims; according to them the masks are used to divert attention from themselves and put it on the music. Several band members have said wearing the masks helps to maintain privacy in their personal lives. During an interview in 2005, percussionist Fehn said the masks were a "blessing" because they meant the members are not recognized in public. In 2012, Slipknot released an app for iOS and Android called "Slipknot: Wear the Mask", which invites fans to construct their own masks, defining the kind of Slipknot fans they are.
Clothing BrandThe clothing line, 'Tattered and Torn', was launched by the band Slipknot in 2008 and runs as an imprint of Bravado, a company that runs the band's merchandising. While the band recognize that their merchandise is their biggest revenue income, they insist Tattered and Torn is more than just band merchandising. Vocalist Corey Taylor said, "It's a way for [the fans] to get cool clothing at affordable prices." The first items from the clothing line went on sale in late July 2008 through Hot Topic stores across North America and the Hot Topic website. Currently the line is limited to shirts and hoodies but was expected to develop into a full-range clothing line.
ControversiesSlipknot's music and image have been the subject of many controversies throughout its career. The lyrical content of some of Slipknot's songs has been linked to several violent and criminal incidents. In 2003, two young killers blamed the lyrics of "Disasterpiece" for their crime. In 2006, the lyrics of "Surfacing" were found at the site of a grave robbery.
In 2008, Corey Taylor commented on a slashing incident at a South African school to which Slipknot was linked; he said:
... obviously, I'm disturbed by the fact that people were hurt and someone died, as far as my responsibility for that goes, it stops there, because I know our message is actually very positive ... there are always going to be mental disorders and people who cause violence for no other reason than the fact that they're fucked up and lost.
The band's image has also been the subject of several controversies. Slipknot had a longstanding feud with the band Mushroomhead which—along with their fans—said Slipknot "stole their image". While Slipknot acknowledged their images had similarities, its members were not actively involved in the feud, saying the similarities were coincidental. Taylor said, "we both started at the same time—neither one of us knowing anything about each other". Taylor also said that at a live show in Cleveland, Ohio, several Mushroomhead fans threw objects including a padlock at Slipknot and that when Slipknot's set was finished, Mushroomhead, Machine Head, and Amen went into the crowd and "handled it right there". In 2009, Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis said his band's members were no longer interested in feuding with Slipknot, saying, "they're not the first masked band, we're not, no one was".
Slipknot's 2005 lawsuit against Burger King said the company created the advertising-based band Coq Roq to capitalize on Slipknot's image. Burger King responded with a countersuit, saying many other bands, such as Mr. Bungle, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Kiss, Insane Clown Posse, and Gwar have used masks as part of their images. After negotiations, the advertising campaign and lawsuit were withdrawn.

Book Launch Spotlight: Heloise, by Mandy Hager
and Amazon AU
What happens when the 12th century's most famous French lovers are caught in the crossfire of factions, religious reform and zealotry?
Heloise has an exceptional mind. In her determination to pursue learning rather than marriage or life as a cloistered nun, her path inevitably crosses with Peter Abelard, the celebrity philosopher, theologian and master at Paris' famed Cathedral School.
When two such brilliant minds meet and engage, sparks are likely to fly. And when those two minds belong to a charismatic man and a determined young woman, those sparks are likely to ignite. But theirs is an impossible love.
At a time when the Gregorian Reforms are starting to bite and celibacy among the clergy and church officials is being rigorously imposed, these two embark on an affair that will see their lives forever changed.
Based on meticulous up-to-date research and the pair's own writings, this novel recreates the times, offers a plausible interpretation of the known facts and a vivid imagining of the gaps in this legendary story. So, too, it shines a light on a changing world whose attitudes and politics are not so very different from our own.
"Brilliant, gripping, thought-provoking, insightful of the times and its dilemmas and wonderful in allowing the reader to get into the heads and hearts of people with a very different world-view."

Protective Orders & Family Abuse Lawyer in Fairfax, Virginia
Domestic abuse is a serious problem that frequently leads to tragic consequences. Experienced family law practitioners know this, as do law enforcement officers, prosecutors, magistrates, judges and other individuals whose work involves the family, juvenile or criminal justice systems of Northern Virginia.
False accusations of domestic violence are an equally serious and unfortunately all-too-common issue in family law practice as well. What every party to a domestic violence case has in common (whether the allegations are true or not) is the need to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Experienced Help Protecting Your Family And Your Rights
With decades of family law experience to draw from, attorneys at Duff & Kronfeld, P.C. are well prepared to help clients address the problems posed by an incident or allegation of abuse in any context or circumstance. Various types of court orders are available in Virginia, including:
- Emergency protective orders (also known as restraining orders) can be sought at any time, without notice to the alleged abuser. If a request for an emergency protective order is granted, law enforcement will serve the alleged abuser with a written copy of the order as soon as possible, and the alleged abuser will be excluded from the residence and prohibited from making contact or engaging in further acts of abuse. Once notified, however, he or she can also petition the issuing judge or magistrate to dissolve the protective order. Emergency protective orders last for 72 hours, but you can file for an extension that adds another 72 hours. To extend the protection beyond this time frame, you must seek a preliminary protective order or full protective order.
- Preliminary protective orders offer additional protections and are issued for a 15-day period, during which a hearing will be scheduled. The alleged abuser will be notified of the hearing and have the opportunity to dispute the allegations and explain why a full protective order should not be issued.
- Full protective orders offer the highest level of protection and stay in effect for two years, after which they can also be renewed. Because these orders severely impact the rights and liberty of alleged abusers, they may be granted only after the alleged abuser has been duly served, notified of the hearing and given an opportunity to refute the allegations against him or her.

Early Beginnings: 18th and 19th centuries
Rutgers is the eighth oldest university in the United States, founded in 1766 as Queen's College. Competitive debate organizations started sprouting in the late 19th century, so the earliest organizations where students would participate in debates were called literary societies. The first literary societies at Queen's were the Athenian Society and the Polemical Society, both formed 1776. Their purpose is stated as follows:
"Politeness always conciliates affection, and if united to wisdom and virtue it ever commands respect. To acquire these accomplishments our Athenian Society was instituted and it certain has the tendency to purge the incorrect in our discourse…." The John Bogart Letters: Forty-two Letters Written to John Bogart …, Volume 1
The Athenian Society and others undoubtedly "purged the incorrect in discourse" by encouraging and participating in debates between members. But to leave the realm of literary societies there are to interesting urban legends about debate at Queen's:
- Queen's enjoyed a rivalrous annual debating competition with King's College (now Columbia University) in New York City: these King's/Queen's Debates were often discussed in the subsequent history of both schools, but only resurrected in 2011 by RUDU and the Columbia University Parliamentary Debate Society (CUPDS) as members of APDA.
- In 1775, a lively debate took place among Queen's College students about taking up arms against the British government. The debaters were ultimately convinced to join the revolution, leaving school to do so, and only returning two years later to reconsider the matter in 1777, reaching the same conclusion once more.
Late 19th and early 20th centuries: From Literary Societies to Early Intercollegiate Competition
Debates tended to be informal gatherings between members of various literary societies on campus, until a trend began for literary societies to debate with others competitively. On May 6, 1881, the second intercollegiate forensic debate in the United States was held at Kirkpatrick Chapel between Rutgers (Peithessophian Society) and NYU (Philomathean Society). The first one is believed to have taken place the night before between Knox College and Illinois College.
The topic at Kirkpatrick Chapel was whether or not voting rights and suffrage should be limited or denied by any requirement other than age. Although it is not clear which side each team took, it is happily reported that Rutgers won the debate. In the decades to come, debate clubs and forensic organizations would begin to sprout over campus, and debate would no longer be limited to literary societies.
At the turn of the century, Rutgers formed a formidable team of top debaters, traveling to five to ten competitions each year, usually with other major local rival colleges, including NYU, Columbia, UPenn, and of course Princeton. Paul Robeson, legendary forerunner of civil rights and integration on the Rutgers campus, was a member of the debate team during his time at Rutgers.
The topics for debates in this era were usually decided well in advance and teams of 2-4 debaters, sometimes with an alternate, would prepare for weeks or months for a single public competition on the prescribed issue. The topics for a debate between Rutgers University and New York University reported by The Triangle on January 18, 1899 were as follows:
- "Is it expedient for the United States to take possession of the Philippine Islands?" (Rutgers won, with the other results not being clear)
- "Is a political defensive alliance between the United States and Great Britain desirable at the present time?"
- "Is a general disarmament of European powers practicable?"
- "Ought the United States to annex Cuba?"
The Twentieth Century: Various Debate Organizations
Debate at Rutgers was revolutionized in 1924 under the direction of Richard Cranston Reager, who would direct debate for decades to come and be involved with the debate program until his death in 1956. He pioneered and implemented the "Reager System" of debate, encouraging on-the-fly thinking over canned speeches and replacing traditional elite teams of 2-4 debaters with vast squads of 100 or more debaters, offering everyone who wished to participate a chance to compete in at least one major debate per year.
This transformed the impact of debating at Rutgers, taking the number of debaters trying out for the team from 2 in 1924 to over 200 in 1956, allowing all interested students to develop their speaking and analytical skills. Rutgers seniors voted debate the most worthwhile university activity every year from 1928-36, and Reager helped the team compile a roughly .700 winning percentage during his three decades at the university in well over a hundred debates a year.
It is presumed that Rutgers continued to compete in the NDT policy format throughout the 1950's and 1960's. Rutgers performed well in NDT Mid-Atlantic competition in late 1960's, finishing in the top ten in its region in 1968 and 1969, both years leading to NDT qualification. A recruitment pamphlet for the 1965-1966 year can be seen here.
The Rutgers Debate Society had at least two stints of existence, from 1976-1980 and some time up until 1974. 1978 appears to be the first year that Rutgers attended the National Forensic Association (NFA) National Championships, qualifying 9 people in a variety of events. Rich Faughnan '80 was also listed as a State Champion speaker.
The Rutgers Forensic Society existed from 1980 to at least 1993. This seems to have been an outgrowth of the prior Debate Society and actually replaced it for a number of years. This Society participated heavily in intercollegiate competition, vying for success on the National Forensic Association (NFA) circuit, which consists almost entirely of individual speaking events such as dramatic interpretation and impromptu speaking. Rutgers finished as the 17th overall team in the 1980 NFA National Championships. J.G. Harrington, who competed for Rutgers from 1981-1985, was elected to the NFA Hall of Fame in 2002.
1990's: (The First) Rutgers University Debate Union
A prior incarnation of the Debate Union existed briefly in the mid-1990's, competing on APDA and working in partnership with Rutgers' then long-standing Forensic Society. It is suspected that other teams broke periodically and this Debate Union enjoyed moderate success and respect on APDA. This group was founded in 1991 and disbanded by about 1997.
2001-2009: The Rutgers Debate Union Refounded
The current incarnation of RUDU was founded in 2001 by Samuel Kim, Evan Luce, and an intrepid band of fellow Scarlet Knights. RUDU has existed continuously since, competing on the APDA circuit for over a decade and hosting the annual Rutgers Invitational each spring. Some of the weekly updates from the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 teams can still be found on this website.
2009-Present Day: Debate Renaissance
The Rutgers University Debate Union (RUDU) is currently enjoying perhaps the most successful period of competitive forensics in the university's 250-year history. The team went from finishing 24th in the league in 2009-2010 to finishing as 5th overall in College of the Year (COTY) in 2010-2011. Team Members Reiss and Bomeisl went on to break at the National Championships, the first time in APDA history Rutgers did so. The next year, the team finishing 9th in COTY, 6th at the North American Championships, and both 3rd and 10th in NOTY (Quinn Maingi '15 and Kurt Falk '15, respectively).
Since 2010, RUDU has enjoyed overwhelming success in the APDA circuit. Sean Leonard became the first Rutgers debater to be the president of APDA, and all of the team's recent awards can be seen on the Awards page.

My friend Captain Fairlong shared this video he captured while on an expedition in Greenland. This little baby seal is too cute for words, I had to share him with you.
The seal caught sliding around is a Harp Seal. They mainly reside in the icy oceanic waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Able to dive nearly 1,000 feet and can remain submerged for up to 15 minutes in the freezing waters. Baby seals like the one in the video go without food for SIX WEEKS. They lose half their body weight until the dive and begin hunting for themselves. Talk about survival of the fittest!
Over at The Jungle Store we have a variety of seal accessories. My favorite is this white seal furry purse.
Granted I don't use mine on any of the expeditions I go on, but when I'm back in civilization I like to remember my animal friends by taking them out on the town. ha!

Animal Fact of the Day
Dolphins have two stomachs!!! One for storing food and the other for digesting it, probably a good thing considering they can consume up to 30 pounds of fish a day.
Enjoy this friendly dolphin video and remind if you need anything dolphin related check out The Jungle Store.

In the news: Baby Dolphins are Washing Up Along the Coast
According to the Sun Herald, baby dolphins are washing up along the Mississippi and Alabama shorelines at ten times the normal rate.
Even though this is the first birthing season since the BP oil spill in the Gulf, it's still too early to determine the exact cause of this unfortunate increase.
You can read more over at the Sun Herald.
"For some reason, they've started aborting or they were dead before they were born," Solangi said. "The average is one or two a month. This year we have 17 and February isn't even over yet."

Animal Fact: Black Bears
Black bears are North America's most familiar and common bears. They normally live in forests and are excellent tree climbers, but have been to know to live in swamps and mountains. Despite their name, black bears can be blue-gray or blue-black, brown, cinnamon, or even (very rarely) white.
An unusual fact about these mammals is that contrary to popular belief they are not true hibernators. Even though they don't eat, drink, or go to the bathroom during winter months they will awake if disturbed.
Enjoy this epic battle between a black bear and a cougar.

Presidential Pets
Since it's President's Day, I thought I would share some of the more interesting presidential pets.
Thomas Jefferson owned two bear cubs which were a gift from Lewis and Clark.
John Quincy Adams had an American alligator.
Theodore Roosevelt owned a badger [Josiah], pig [Maude], zebra [unknown name] and a one-legged rooster [name unknown]. The photo is of a young Roosevelt with his pet parrot.
Taft let two cows graze the White House Lawn. Their names were Mooly Wooly and Pauline Wayne. Unsure of which cow that is illustrated below.
Calvin Coolidge by far had the best pets! Including but not limited to raccoons [Rebecca and Horace], donkey [Ebeneezer], bobcat [Smoky], lion cubs [Tax Reduction and Budget Bureau], pygmy hippo, wallaby, duiker, AND A BLACK BEAR! That is First Lady Grace Coolidge holding Rebecca the raccoon.
Can any of you tell me the name of the newest first pooch?

Animal Fact of the Day: Koalas naps!
You might want to rename your afternoon cat nap to koala naps. These cuddly marsupials need up to twenty hours of sleep a day! Since they have a slow metabolism and eat for three to five hours a day, Koalas have to recharge their bodies for an extended period of time.Get your very own Koala to snuggle with over at The Jungle Store!
As you'll see in the below video, Koalas have to slow chew on the eucalyptus leaves until they are eventually an easily swallow-able paste.
Even though this creatures look innocent they are quite vocal and fiesty as you'll see in the last two clips!

Valentine's Day Animal Fact
When most humans hear a mosquito's high-pitched whine they are immediatedly put on guard antipaciting the insect's itchy bite. But to mosquitoes of the opposite sex, that foreshadowing is a powerful love song. Mosquitoes engages in a wing-beating courtship duet that depends on very specific frequencies.
When males and females come together, they match up their wingbeat frequencies — but not at the male's rate of 600 beats per second, or the female's 400. Rather, they make minor adjustments that produce a harmonic, or multiple, of their tones, which rings in at about 1200 beats per second. Just right for love, apparently.
Happy Valentine's Day!!
