Neufeld (Neufeldt, Nifeld, Nyfelt, Neuenfeld, Nieufelt, Newfield) family
Neufeld, a Mennonite family name, appeared for the first time in the Danzig Mennonite church records in 1694. According to Reimer, the name originally referred to land reclaimed from the sea. The name was common among the Mennonite congregations of Danzig, Prussia and Russia, from where it spread to the United States, Canada and South America. The Universal Biography lists two teachers of philosophy at Danzig: George H. Neufeld (d. 1673) and Konrad N. Neufeld (d. 1656), both sons of George N. Neufeld. C. Henry Smith refers to a 1912 study of Mennonite names in Prussia, which lists 161 Neufelds.
Among the Mennonites of Russia the name Neufeld was very common. A. A. Neufeld was an outstanding educator. Peter Neufeld was elder of the Chortitza Mennonite Church. Isaak Neufeld of Waldheim, Molotschna was a manufacturer of agricultural machinery. David P. Neufeld, son of Peter Neufeld, a minister of the Ohrloff Mennonite Church, was an educator. Gerhard J. Neufeld was a physician at Davlekanovo, Ufa. Wilhelm P. Neufeld was minister of the Schönsee Mennonite Church and perished in exile. Heinrich D. Neufeld, founder of the secondary school at Ohrloff, Zagradovka, was murdered by the Makhno bandits. Cornelius G. Neufeld, an educator, died in Shafter, CA.
The name has been found quite frequently in central Kansas, where Mennonites from Russia settled in 1874 and the years following. As of 1957, 61 of the 330 members of the Bethel Mennonite Church of Inman, KS were Neufelds. The name appeared more frequently than any other in the Inman telephone directory, 29 times in all. The name is also found in other places. The General Conference Handbook of Information of 1954 lists fifteen ministers by that name for Canada and six for the United States. There are twelve Neufelds listed in the Civilian Public Service Directory, nine from Kansas, two from California, and one from Oklahoma. G. B. Neufeld was a missionary in the Congo, and Jacob H. Neufeld was a missionary in the Chaco, Paraguay.
Who's Who Among the Mennonites (1943) lists the following: Harry Neufeld, missionary, Los Ebanos, Texas; Herman H. Neufeld, former editor and publisher of Mennonitische Rundschau; N. J. Neufeld, physician, Winnipeg; and Peter T. Neufeld, pastor of Bethel Mennonite Church, Inman, Kansas. Peter T. Neufeld's grandfather, Peter Neufeld, came to Kansas in 1875. The latter's grandfather, Hermann Neufeld, had immigrated to Russia from Prussia in 1803. Kornelius H. Neufeld, a musician, was another well-known member of the family. In 1952, J. G. Rempel listed the following General Conference ministers of Canada: A. Neufeld, New Westminster, BC; A. J. Neufeld, Lena, Manitoba; B. G. Neufeld, Manitou, Manitoba; Gerhard Neufeld, Oliver, BC; H. H. Neufeld, Abbotsford, BC; J. G. Neufeld, Didsbury, AB; J. H. Neufeld, Gem, Alberta; Johann Neufeld, Tofield, Alberta; Abram G. Neufeld, Whitewater, Manitoba; Cornelius G. Neufeld (elder); David P. Neufeld; Gerhard G. Neufeld (elder).

Singles Rate & Moveset Request Thread
About this thread
With the worldwide release of BW2 fast approaching, it's time for a new version of the Singles Rate Thread. Here's the old one, by the way. Ask for single movesets or advice on a single Pokémon and you'll get an answer here. Also, special thanks to Noctourniquet for writing the bulk of this post.
But this one's slightly different. I plan to take every good moveset posted in this thread and index them alphabetically in this, and the following, posts. The idea is to create an easy-to-read list of decent Pokémon movesets without having to search through the thread, or having to ask for movesets already created. Or to just draw your own inspiration from. However, I will only be including movesets which are posted using the correct format.
If anyone finds any problems or mistakes, then please feel free to send me a Visitor Message or a Private Message.
Failure to abide by these rules may result in your post being deleted and you receiving a warning or infraction.
• All SPPf Rules apply! - These are global rules. Follow them at all times, please.
• All IGRMT Rules apply! - You are in IGRMT. Read its rules. Easy.
• Check the OP first! - If you want to ask for advice on your Pokémon, please check the first post to see if it has a set viable for you! That's what it's there for. If not, then feel free to ask but please state why the OP's set was unsuitable.
• Follow the thread-specific format! - It keeps consistency and makes my life so much easier. Please make sure you use the format! Simply copy and paste this, replacing the words with whatever is appropriate;
[B]Pokémon[/B] @ Item (If applicable)
Nature (If applicable)
EVs (If applicable)
- Move 1
- Move 2
- Move 3
- Move 4
• Regarding Hidden Power - First of all, the format for Hidden Power will be Hidden Power [Type], not HP Type, for consistency's sake. Furthermore, as this thread is designed for in-game teams, many people will not be willing to or have the knowledge on how to breed for Hidden Power, so where possible please list Hidden Power as an option or alternative move, not as a definite move.
• Regarding EVs - For the sake of consistency, please use the following abbreviations for stats when listing EVs: Atk (Attack), Def (Defence), SpA (Special Attack), SpD (Special Defence), Spe (Speed) and HP.
• Sample Set - To better illustrate the way sets should be posted, here's an example set. Thanks to Tsumiki for the idea for this.
Espeon @ Leftovers
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting] / Signal Beam
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting] / Signal Beam
As you can see, the set above follows the format for sets. EVs are listed using the correct abbreviations - SpA for Special Attack and Spe for Speed. Hidden Power [Fighting] is not listed as a definite move, but as an option, with another option beside it.
That said, go on, post away! If you have any questions, you may send a PM to either myself or one of this section's fine moderators: zhanton, Shine or [GS].

Focus Financial Partners on Wednesday announced that partner firm The Colony Group will merge with Mintz Levin Financial Advisors under the Colony name.
The combined assets from Colony and MLFA will reach approximately $2.5 billion. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Focus is an international partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms with more than $50 billion in assets. The Colony Group was founded in 1986. It oversees $1.4 billion in client assets. It has been a Focus partner since October.
The firm saw many reasons to join Focus, according to Michael Nathanson, chairman and CEO of Colony. "Among them," he told AdvisorOne on Thursday, "joining would provide a great opportunity to collaborate with the advisor community."
The spirit of collaboration ultimately led to the decision to merge with Mintz Levin. "We saw Mintz Levin as an opportunity to combine forces with a like-minded fiduciary advisor to better serve our clients, better serve our employees and better serve our partners," Nathanson (left) said.
Both The Colony Group and Mintz Levin represent a "client service franchise with an unending commitment to serving clients with a holistic model," Michael Paley, managing director at Focus, told AdvisorOne.
Initially, Nathanson said, the transition will be seamless to clients—other than the name change, of course. "We set about to further the task of seeking out ways to better serve clients." he said. "We're looking at practices used for many years by Mintz Levin and by Colony and are looking for the best collective practices. Over time, we expect to improve service even further."
As for specific types of services the firm will be able to bolster, Nathanson said the merger would allow the firm to offer greater access to research and better utilization of technology, including reporting, relationship management and financial planning solutions.
"This is a continuation of the enhancements that have been underway since we began our partnership with Focus last year," Nathanson said.
"We see this transaction as an acceleration of the ongoing evolution" of service at the two firms, Paley added.
Mintz Levin was founded in 1998 to serve high-net-worth clients with between $1 million and $30 million in assets. The average client has approximately $3 million. The firm will adopt the Colony name and join its Boston headquarters. Founders Robert Glovsky and Cary Geller will join the Colony executive management team.
"It has to do with long-term continuity of the business," Glovsky (right) told AdvisorOne on Thursday. "If nothing else, I'm a planner. I wanted to make sure there was a plan in place for our staff long term and for the clients long term, and Colony's structure is conducive to that."
He points to Colony's equity model—19 people own equity in the firm—and the very strong cultural fit between the two firms as factors in the decision to join Colony, as well as their long history together.
"We've known them for a long time. They've been one of our best peer groups in Boston: an outstanding group of counselors who think the way we do, who put financial planning front and center."
The transaction is the third so far for Focus. In 2011, the firm did eight transactions.
There are two aspects to this particular transaction that make it unique, Rudy Adolf (left), founder of Focus, told AdvisorOne on Friday. First, "only seven months [since joining Focus], Colony has doubled their size." The second, he said, is the level of quality of the firms involved. Prior to joining Focus, Colony was a "No. 1-rated Schwab firm."
It won Schwab's Best-in-Business IMPACT Award in 2010.
"I couldn't think of any equivalent in the last several years," Adolf said.

Miller Discovering Indigenous Lands: The Doctrine of Discovery in the English Colonies
Robert J. Miller, professor of law, coauthors a text that explains and compares how England used the international legal principle known today as the Doctrine of Discovery to colonize North America, New Zealand, and Australia. The book provides insight into how the doctrine was—and continues to be—used to justify sovereign and property claims over indigenous lands and peoples.

Undergraduate Programs
The English Department offers major and minors in four areas: linguistics, literature, secondary education, and writing.
We encourage you to meet with an advisor regularly to discuss your progress, as well as your academic and career goals. Advisors and requirements are listed on each program page.
Foundational Coursework
ENG 241 - Introduction to Literary Analysis is required of all students majoring in English. Students are encouraged to complete ENG 241 before taking upper-level English courses, and must take English 241 before completing 70 University credits. When a student majoring in English accumulates 70 University credits but has not taken ENG 241, a hold is placed on the student's transcript until the student meets with an advisor and enrolls in the course.
Capstone Course
A capstone course is required of all English majors. ENG 361/EDS 347 is the capstone course for Secondary English Education majors; ENG 400 for all others. Because this course is intended to provide students with a culminating experience, it should be taken only after much of the major requirements have been completed. At the minimum, students must complete ENG 241 and two English courses numbered 300 or higher before they can enroll in the capstone course. To register for a capstone course, please submit an application form.
A final requirement for all English majors is an individual portfolio. Guidelines can be found on each program page. Portfolios are due by the last day of finals in your last semester.

With Save-On Foods set to make its entry into the Calgary market later this year, its billionaire owner says the blockbuster purchase of Safeway Canada by Sobeys Inc. could open other opportunities for his B.C.-based chain.
Canadian business giant Jim Pattison — owner of the Overwaitea Food Group, which owns Save-On and a number of other grocery brands — said in an interview he would be interested in acquiring former Safeway locations if Sobeys is forced to divest itself of stores to get regulatory approval for the $5.8-billion deal announced last week. Several analysts have suggested the federal Competition Bureau could require Sobeys to rid itself of up to 20 Safeway stores, and many of the divestitures are expected to happen in Alberta where Sobeys' concentration is heaviest.
"We certainly would," said Pattison, adding Save-On wants to keep expanding its presence in Alberta. The company already has 26 locations in the province — the majority of which are in Edmonton and the surrounding area — and will open its first three Calgary locations in Seton, Walden and Panorama Hills in late summer and early fall.
Pattison declined to comment on speculation his chain may be the next target for acquisition in Canada's increasingly competitive grocery industry. Some analysts have suggested a major player like Montreal-based Metro Inc. or Toronto's Loblaw Companies might make a bid for Overwaitea, the only large independent player left in Western Canada, to beef up their own presence in the market.
"We never discuss our business; we're a private company," Pattison said. "But we've had Overwaitea for many years, and we're very happy with the company."
While Pattison won't say if he would consider selling, Bobby Hagedorn, a retail analyst with Edward Jones, said the value of the Safeway-Sobeys deal indicates he would probably get a good price.
"It would definitely be a good time," Hagedorn said. "The grocery market in Canada is pretty tough right now — you're not seeing a lot of growth. So a lot of times, that's when companies look to make deals like this to grow their market share."
Kevin Grier, senior market analyst with the George Morris Centre in Guelph, Ont., said Canadian chains are feeling the pinch from WalMart's rapid expansion into the grocery business. That, combined with the fact that Target Canada is expected to expand its grocery offerings, is the reason companies might be feeling pressure to expand.
"That's the frame for this whole thing, the competition from Walmart and Target," Grier said. "I think the grocery market, particularly in the West, is going to become more competitive in the next year or so."
A spokeswoman for Calgary Co-op said it's too early to say whether the local retailer would make an offer for any Safeway locations that might come up for sale. However, she said Calgary Co-op will be paying close attention to the Competition Bureau process, which is expected to take several months.
"We're just waiting for more detail to see if there are any opportunities," said Karen Allan. "We're definitely monitoring all the information we can receive on it."
There are currently 223 Safeway stores in Canada, 32 of which are in Calgary.

Dad's housework has less dollar value than Mom's
The value of work a father typically does around the house has increased in the last year, but a mother's work is still worth far more, according to a new job survey that puts dollar figures on parental responsibilities.
Ahead of Father's Day on June 16, insurance news website Insure.com on Monday released its annual "Father's Day Index."
To calculate the index, the website applied wage data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to 13 traditionally male household tasks ranging from repairing leaky pipes to barbecuing.
The index increased the value of fathers' housekeeping contributions when calculating life insurance.
Their work is now worth $23,344, up from $20,248 last year, a change largely due to higher mean hourly wages for jobs such as fixing plumbing, moving furniture and mowing lawns.
But mothers were worth $59,862, according to the same survey released before Mother's Day last month, down from $60,182 in 2012. Mothers' contributions ranged from cleaning up to nursing children's wounds and shopping for the family.
The findings are notable as recent studies found women still bearing the bulk of housekeeping duties but earning less in comparison to their male counterparts.
In 2011, the latest year for which data is available, 83 percent of women and 65 percent of men spent time each day doing chores such as cleaning and cooking, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figures have changed little in the last decade.
By comparison, in 2011 women earned 82.2 percent of what men earned, according to a study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research.

Stress @ Work Early Warning App Unveiled
It may seem like the solution to a question nobody was actually asking, but once it's been explained the idea appears quite sensible – what if you could avoid the angst of opening unpleasant text messages by having them displayed in colour-coded form to pre-warn of stressful content? Stick with us…
Stress @ Work has been developed by Masters student Lorraine Chambers at the University of Portsmouth and does just that. Colour-coding incoming messages from Facebook, Twitter and text, the app analyses the language used and assigns a suitable shading to give you the option of facing your bad news or not.
Green means the message is positive, blue, meanwhile, is neutral, whilst red is, well red is red in all things and means that someone akin to Gordon Ramsey is trying to contact you… and has just had to endure a freezing cold shower… and it's your fault.
"The ultimate objective of this application is to make the user aware of the negative contents they receive so they are able to manage their stress in the best possible way," said Mohamed Gaber, a senior lecturer at Portsmouth. "For example, if most of what is received from social media websites by a user on a particular day was negative, it is important that the user attempts to take an action in order to not get stressed, especially if this may affect the individual's performance at work and/or their behavior at home."
Chambers and Gaber are to present the app at the 16th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems in Spain this September and hope to push the app for free on Google Play shortly thereafter.
Whether the app can detect sarcasm or single out your more potty mouthed pals or not is yet to be tested, but if you often find your phone affecting your mood then maybe you should give it a go. Let us know how you get on. Try not to swear.

Osteoprotegerin and breast cancer risk by hormone receptor subtype: A nested case-control study in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-08)
Background:
Circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG), a member of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) axis, may influence breast cancer risk via its role as the decoy receptor for both the RANK ligand (RANKL) and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Circulating OPG and breast cancer risk has been examined in only one prior study.
Methods:
A case-control ...
The premenopausal breast cancer collaboration: A pooling project of studies participating in the national cancer institute cohort consortium
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-09)
Breast cancer is a leading cancer diagnosis among premenopausal women around the world. Unlike rates in postmenopausal women, incidence rates of advanced breast cancer have increased in recent decades for premenopausal women. Progress in identifying contributors to breast cancer risk among premenopausal women has been constrained by the limited numbers of premenopausal breast cancer cases in individual ...

While last night's Academy Awards didn't hold many surprises — Hathaway won and Seth MacFarlane said all of the things that the rest of us are too smart to — the evening did hold one very special treat with E! finally airing the first promo of Ryan Lochte's new reality series What Would Ryan Lochte Do? Cool title, E! The answer, by the way, is almost always "act like a huge fucking bro."
So what will America's Sexiest Douchebag get up to now that he'll be showing up on our TV every week? Well, mainly — judging by the preview which, unfortunately, is unavailable online — he will spend a lot of time taking us through all of the stuff he owns like cars, diamond-encrusted watches and sneakers. (This is particularly fun info if you are planning to rob Ryan Lochte.)
If all the excess doesn't appeal to you, the show will also contain emotion and heart as Ryan uses his time on camera to seek out a girlfriend by partying and having sex with as many hot babes as he can. Who will the lucky girl be? One of us? I don't know — how often can you put up with a Jäger hangover? If the answer is "frequently," then hell jeah it could be.
Oh jeah! Ryan Lochte drinks shots and charms the ladies in first look at new reality TV show [Daily Mail]

Dependencies and CompatibilitySunday, August 10th, 2008
As you may have noticed, two of Lilina's major dependencies, SimplePie and HTML Purifier are becoming PHP5 only, with HTML Purifier's latest releases being available for PHP4 only. I've posted previously on SimplePie's availability for PHP5 only and how we could not switch to it. I later went back and completely backtracked, adding SimplePie to Lilina. It has now been used in Lilina for quite a while, mostly for the better. An old branch of HTML Purifier, 2.*, is used in Lilina and its new 3.* branch has a wealth of new features. Lilina is unable to utilise these at the moment for PHP4 compatibility. This disadvantages our PHP5 users, who could be getting faster and better parsing from HTML Purifier.
PHP5 has been around for more than 3 years and it is time to move on and embrace new developments and standards. PHP4 support and critical security updates have been dropped completely, as of 08/08/08 and all hosts are encouraged to upgrade to PHP5.
Going PHP5
As of today, PHP4 compatibility is being dropped from Lilina. We join a whole group of projects who have dropped support for PHP4.
What does this mean for me?
If your host is currently running PHP 5.2, nothing changes for you. If your host is currently running PHP4, 5.0.* or 5.1.*, convince your host to upgrade to PHP 5.2 or change hosts. Lilina will not be supporting PHP4 for future releases. For more information, check out this FAQ, published by GoPHP5.
What does this mean for Lilina?
This decision will enable faster development of Lilina, with many features being easier to achieve and faster. It also enables cleaner code, which can reduce the size of the codebase substantially.
This announcement will have benefits for everyone and I hope that it will have no ill effects on any users.

First a question: Are all the PROYECT folders the same PROYECT folders every time?-Curt (June 30, 2012, 05:47 PM)
I like nice long buttons where I can easily read the text. I have no issues with the buttons being too short to read them on my taskbar. This is one of the many benefits of having your taskbar on the side and extending it as far as it will go, and putting it on autohide.The first 2 screenshots in my post here will show you how I have it: https://www.donation....msg238489#msg238489Yes, I am running XP with classic theme there, but you can do it in Win7 as well, and with aero, or whatever crap they have for themes now. And it is easy to do...just unlock your taskbar and drag it to the side and stretch it. (I don't lock mine because I like the little bands that separate each toolbar, and they disappear if you lock the taskbar)The only time my buttons get shortened is when I have a ton of open windows, enough to fill all the space on the taskbar, resulting in Windows making 2 columns of them, at which point they become about half the length, which is still pretty wide compared to what you have now.It will take a little getting used to but once you do, you may never go back to that sliver of a taskbar at the bottom of the screen. I have had my taskbar like this for the last 13 years, ever since my first PC was given to me with it preconfigured that way, back in the Win98 days.But be careful...if you get too used to it, it will make using another OS very uncomfortable. I have issues with Ubuntu because I can't take my Windows taskbar with me. -app103 (July 01, 2012, 04:07 AM)

Due to my own negligence, I left batteries in for a year. Corroded terminals, not eaten away but enough to not allow electrical current. This 512 is 6 years old, so I called EOT customer service and was able to talk with a real person! He knew exactly what the problem was , with out being condescending ( which I probably deserved for leaving batteries in for so long) he is sending out a kit to help me. NO CHARGE, last time that happened was with RCBS primer pins. Needless to say i am pleasantly surprised. Way to be EOTECH.

Legal team sues drug maker Hoffmann-La Roche Limited over popular acne medicine
Feb 04, 2013, 04:00 ET
LONDON, ON, Feb. 4, 2013 /CNW/ - When Jennifer Twamley was prescribed Accutane at 17 to control her acne, little did she know the long-term impact the drug would have on her life.
Twamley, 33, now suffers from Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which lawyers Barb Legate of Legate & Associates and Dave Williams of Harrison Pensa say is a side effect of Accutane.
Twamley has undergone two surgeries, including removal of her colon. "It's been devastating," says Twamley, whose career and lifestyle have been drastically curtailed. "I wish I had never taken that drug. Having a chronic illness is isolating."
Twamley, a television producer, is suing drug maker Hoffmann-La Roche over Accutane in what is known as a mass tort, one of the first in Canada involving the acne drug. The lawsuit was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
A mass tort is a group of lawsuits involving individuals who share similar complaints as a result of their experiences with a drug or defective product. Mass torts are common in the United States, where Roche has already been successfully sued for millions of dollars in connection with the manufacture and sale of Accutane. Roche stopped selling Accutane in the United States in 2009 for business reasons, but the drug is still sold in Canada.
Legate says Accutane has destructive side effects that many Canadians weren't warned about. "We believe there are thousands of victims in Canada who have been hurt by Accutane. We are seeking justice for them." Williams adds, "Studies in the U.S. have found that Accutane is linked to inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease."
"The sad thing is that many people who have developed a disease like colitis or Crohn's don't realize that a common drug they were prescribed as a teenager for their acne could be the likely cause. It has had harsh consequences," he added.
According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, acne affects nearly 20% or 5.6 million Canadians. More than 80% of acne sufferers are between the ages of 12 and 24.
The lawyers say the Twamley case is being put forward as the face of the Accutane lawsuit and a test case for more than a dozen similar cases they are preparing to file against the company. Legate says, "This case will cast a light on the problem and we expect many other victims to come forward."
The lawsuit claims that that Hoffmann-La Roche was negligent because it failed to warn the public that the drug could cause inflammatory bowel disease.
Williams adds, "Accutane affects each person differently, so the harm and damages they suffer varies widely. By choosing to bring a mass tort, we believe the victims are well served as their medical damages can be properly assessed on an individual basis."
Legate & Associates is a London, Ontario-based personal injury law firm that serves southwestern Ontario.
Harrison Pensa is a full-service, 55-lawyer firm servicing southwestern, Ont., with offices in London and Toronto.

Ahead of his eventual majority draw with B.J. Penn at UFC 127, much of
the pre-event discussion focused on Jon Fitch and his new vegan
While once a massive welterweight who'd hit close to 200 pounds between
fights, Fitch recently switch to an all-vegan diet that reportedly
caused him to slim down prior to UFC 127.
Fitch finished strong in the third round at UFC 127, and his late-fight surge resulted in a pair of 10-8 scores that prevented a loss. But in our latest "Ask the Fight Doc" installment, MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin discusses whether Fitch's performance could have been affected by the dietary changes.
J Beazy – There is a lot of talk leading up to UFC 127 and Jon Fitch going vegan. What's the real story about a vegetarian diet and MMA performance? "Gorgeous" George from MMAjunkie.com Radio
GG, the vegan-diet discussion seemed like a more popular topic than the fight itself. I'm with you, though, brother; I can't go without an occasional juicy steak or a piece of my late grandmother's famous fried chicken. (OK, watch the jokes!)
(Sidebar: How can you hate on a guy who calls himself "Gorgeous" to your face? That's my man!)
Vegetarian diets come in many, many forms, so it is a bit difficult – if not impossible – to lump them all together. Some vegans are strict and consume no meat whatsoever, and others limit meat or allow chicken and/or fish.
The common theme about vegetarian diets is that they usually are high in fiber and carbohydrates. Does this tend to enhance or hinder athletic performance?
Another confounding variable when discussing vegetarian diets as they pertain to potential MMA performance is the classification of the athlete. Is an elite MMA athlete an endurance athlete or a strength athlete? Their nutritional requirements and performance physiology can be quite different. I suggest that an elite MMA athlete is a hybrid.
Glucose is the primary fuel for the body. It is stored as glycogen, primarily in muscle. The most common source of glycogen is derived from carbohydrates. (FYI: Protein builds muscle mass, but carbs primarily build glycogen stores.)
Well-stocked glycogen stores in the muscle and will adequately fuel athletic competition lasting less than 90 minutes.
(FYI: Along with dehydration, depleted glycogen storage leading to poor performance is often related to extreme weight-cutting.)
Most performance nutritionists recommend a dietary goal with a carbs/protein/fat ratio of roughly 65/15/20. (This ratio is a little heavy on the protein for simplicity, but that's not entirely a bad thing for MMA athletes.)
As long as the total calorie intake remains constant between vegans and meat-eaters, it really doesn't matter the source – where it's plants or meat (we're obviously not talking junk food here). Also, with the abundance of high-quality supplements and vitamins, ingesting the necessary amounts of amino acids and trace minerals is not very difficult for vegetarians.
It is interesting that the medical research shows no significant difference (good or bad) in the athletic performance of endurance athletes who utilize a vegetarian or meat-rich diet.
If you question my conclusions (and you should), please start your reading with "Serum sex hormones and endurance performance after a lacto-ovo vegetarian and a mixed diet" (Nov. 1992 "The American College of Sports Medicine"). This article is the most widely cited peer-reviewed article, and it states: "In conclusion, six weeks on a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet caused a minor decrease in total testosterone and no significant changes in physical performance in male endurance athletes compared with six weeks on a mixed, meat-rich diet."
I can give you more references, but they are just as boring and reach a similar conclusion.
The take-home messages are to concentrate on carbs and not merely focus on protein intake since carbs are the primary source of fuel (glycogen that gets converted to glucose) for MMA competition that can last 15-25 intense minutes. Also, the source of those carbs isn't that important.
One potential benefit to a vegetarian lifestyle and not merely a training-camp diet is that an MMA athlete who chooses this path is likely to stay closer to his or her desired weight between camps, which reduces the need for extreme weight-cutting.
Finally, it's worth noting that eating sugar or honey just before an event does not provide any extra energy for the event. It takes about 30 minutes for the sugar to enter the bloodstream. This practice may also lead to dehydration because water is needed to absorb the sugar into the cells. Furthermore, sugar eaten before an event may hinder performance because it triggers a surge of insulin, which causes a sharp drop in blood-sugar level in about 30 minutes. Competing when the blood-sugar level is low leads to fatigue, nausea and dehydration.
That last point had nothing to do with this topic, but it's cool information nevertheless. And I didn't even ask you for your insurance card!

100 Great Black Britons Campaign
- Details
- Category: 100 Great Black Britons
- Published on Wednesday, 03 October 2012 00:30
During 2002, the BBC devised a campaign and television series called 100 Great Britons where the public voted for Winston Churchill as the Greatest Briton of all time. Every Generation developed an alternative campaign and poll to raise the profile of the Black contribution to Britain and to challenge the notion of Britishness.
In October 2003, the website and campaign 100 Great Black Britons was launched. To date, this has become the most successful UK campaign to raise the profile, history and achievement of the African and Caribbean community over the last 1000 years.
Nine years after its launch, the website is still the most popular site in Britain on the black presence and achievement. 100 Great Black Britons is extensively used by schools (recommended in the national curriculum), adults for educational purposes and the general public. The site has received over 25 million hits during this period, averaging two million a month between September and December each year.
The Jamaican nurse and businesswoman Mary Seacole was voted the greatest Black Briton. The campaign helped revive a closer examination of the life of this extraordinary woman leading to a number of biographies, a Channel4 documentary, the discovery of a portrait that now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery, and an exhibition at the Florence Nightingale Museum.
In 2013 we plan to relaunch the campaign and develop a number of high profile activities and education resources for a new generation of young people.

Thirteen USA National Team Gold Medal Veterans Headline Talented 2013 USA Basketball Women's National Team Training Camp Roster
Sept. 26, 2013 • Colorado Springs, Colo.
Including 13 Olympic and/or FIBA World Championship gold medalists, USA Basketball today announced the list of 33 athletes who have accepted an invitation to attend the 2013 USA Women's National Team mini-camp Oct. 4-6 at the Cox Pavilion practice gym at the UNLV campus in Las Vegas. The camp will be used to identify players for the USA National Team pool, from which the 2014 USA World Championship Team will be selected. Invitations to attend the training camp were issued by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee.
Highlighting the returning veterans are three-time Olympic gold medalists Sue Bird (Seattle Storm), Tamika Catchings (Indiana Fever) and Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury); two-time Olympic gold medalists Seimone Augustus (Minnesota Lynx), Sylvia Fowles (Chicago Sky) and Candace Parker (Los Angeles Sparks); 2012 Olympic gold medalists Tina Charles (Connecticut Sun), Angel McCoughtry (Atlanta Dream), Maya Moore (Minnesota Lynx) and Lindsay Whalen (Minnesota Lynx); and Cappie Pondexter (New York Liberty), a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team. Further, Jayne Appel (San Antonio Silver Stars) and Candice Dupree (Phoenix Mercury), both of whom aided the USA to a gold medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, are set to attend camp.
Also accepting invitations were: DeWanna Bonner (Phoenix Mercury), Elena Delle Donne (Chicago Sky), Skylar Diggins (Tulsa Shock), Stefanie Dolson (University of Connecticut), Brittney Griner (Phoenix Mercury), Lindsey Harding (Los Angeles Sparks), Bria Hartley (University of Connecticut), Briann January (Indiana Fever), Glory Johnson (Tulsa Shock), Jantel Lavender (Los Angeles Sparks), Kayla McBride (University of Notre Dame), Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (University of Connecticut), Nnemkadi Ogwumike (Los Angeles Sparks), Danielle Robinson (San Antonio Silver Stars), Odyssey Sims (Baylor University), Breanna Stewart (University of Connecticut), Alyssa Thomas (University of Maryland), Courtney Vandersloot (Chicago Sky), Monica Wright (Minnesota Lynx) and Sophia Young (San Antonio Silver Stars).
Athletes involved in the WNBA Finals will be unable to attend the training camp.
"The Committee did a great job of identifying players for this camp," said Geno Auriemma, 2013-16 USA National Team and University of Connecticut head coach. "First, you have some who have helped us already win world championships and gold medals at the Olympics and those who certainly we need to take a look at to prepare for the future. Ideally you would love to have a team that is comprised of enough veteran leadership, enough young players with experience and enough young players who might be there for the first time. Within this group we have a mixture of all of those.
"I think what the Committee did, which I think is interesting, there are a lot of young WNBA players who are on the list, and with an eye toward the future there are players who have excelled at the college level already and who have also excelled at USA Basketball at a young age, who three years from now, four years from now, are going to be WNBA players. So, it's great to get a head start to see where the future really lies. I think that's one thing USA Basketball has always been great at, preparing for the future. This is another great example of that."
The training camp marks the beginning of a new quadrennium for the USA Basketball Women's National Team, which over the next four years will compete in the 2014 FIBA World Championship (Sept. 27 - Oct. 5 in Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey), and if the USA qualifies, the 2016 Summer Olympic Games (Aug. 5 - 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), as well as additional USA training camps and exhibition games.
Four prior USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year honorees are listed on the roster, highlighted by three-time honoree Taurasi (2006, 2010, 2012), as well as Augustus (2003), Charles (2009) and Stewart (2011).
The USA National Team training camp roster features 32 athletes who have competed for USA Basketball internationally at some point in their career and 17 members of the 2009-12 USA Basketball Women's National Team: Appel, Augustus, Bird, Catchings, Charles, Dupree, Fowles, Griner, Harding, McCoughtry, Moore, Parker, Pondexter, Taurasi, Vandersloot, Whalen and Young.
The list of invitees includes 10 of the last 12 No. 1 picks in the WNBA Draft: Griner (2013), Ogwumike (2012), Moore (2011), Charles (2010), McCoughtry (2009), Parker (2008), Harding (2007), Augustus (2006), Taurasi (2004) and Bird (2002); 13 All-WNBA selections: Augustus, Bird, Catchings, Charles, Delle Donne, Fowles, McCoughtry, Moore, Parker, Pondexter, Taurasi, Whalen and Young; and 19 WNBA All-Stars: Augustus, Bird, Catchings, Charles, Delle Donne, Dupree, Fowles, Griner, Johnson, McCoughtry, Moore, Ogwumike, Parker, Pondexter, Robinson, Taurasi, Vandersloot, Whalen and Young.
Six of the collegiate athletes invited already boast impressive international credentials. Dolson, who was injured in 2013 and unable to try out for the USA World University Games Team, won gold medals at the 2010 FIBA Americas U18 Championship and 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship; Hartley teamed up with Dolson in 2010 and 2011, and also captured gold medals at the 2012 FIBA 3x3 World Championship and 2013 World University Games; McBride was on the 2010 U18 squad; Mosqueda-Lewis won gold medals with four teams, including the 2009 USA U16 National, 2010 USA U17 World Championship, 2011 U19 World Championship and 2013 USA World University Games teams; Sims has a pair of gold medals from the 2011 and 2013 USA World University Games teams, earning World University Games Co-MVP honors in 2013; while Stewart is the youngest training camp participant, but owns the most international experience. Stewart captured gold at the 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship, 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship, listed on the all-tournament team at the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship after leading the U.S. to gold, earned gold and MVP honors at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship and most recently was named tournament MVP after earning gold at the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship. Additionally, Stewart was the lone high school athlete on the 2011 USA Pan American Games Team and was named the 2011 USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year.
Members of the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee include USA Basketball Women's National Team Director Carol Callan; WNBA appointees Reneé Brown, WNBA Chief of Basketball Operations and Player Relations, Dan Hughes, San Antonio Silver Stars Head Coach and General Manager, and Chris Sienko, Connecticut Sun Vice President and General Manager; and three-time Olympic and two-time FIBA World Championship gold medalist Katie Smith, who played in nearly 200 games for USA Basketball from 1993-2008, and serves as the athlete representative.
FIBA World Championship
The FIBA World Championship has been contested essentially every four years since 1953, and the United States captured the first two gold medals before the Soviet domination of women's basketball kicked-off at the 1959 World Championship. The former USSR put together a string of five straight golds (1959, 1964, 1967, 1971, 1975), before the United States reclaimed gold in 1979. The Soviet Union in 1983 earned its final FIBA World Championship crown as the USA went on to capture five of the next six World Championships (1986, 1990, 1998, 2002, 2010). The only other nations to break into the gold medal column at this event are Australia in 2006, and Brazil, which defeated the USA in the 1994 semifinals and went on to take first that year.
The USA owns a record eight gold medals, one silver medal and two bronze medals in FIBA World Championship play, while compiling an all-time 97-21 record at the event. In 2010, the most recent World Championship, the U.S. finished with a perfect 9-0 record and the gold medal.
Already qualified for eight of the 16 World Championship slots are host Turkey, which also claimed bronze in the 2013 FIBA Europe Championship; the United States, which earned its berth by virtue of claiming the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games; Spain (gold medalist), France (silver medalist), Serbia (fourth place), Belarus (fifth place) and Czech Republic (sixth place) from FIBA Europe; Australia (gold medalist) from FIBA Oceania; and eight additional teams to be determined through the remaining three FIBA zone qualifying tournaments in 2013 as follows: FIBA Africa (gold and silver medalists), FIBA Americas (gold, silver and bronze medalists) and FIBA Asia (gold, silver and bronze medalists).
The 17th FIBA World Championship format will feature a round-robin competition in preliminary round play with four groups comprised of four teams each. The top two teams from each preliminary group advance to the Oct. 3 quarterfinals, with the winners competing in the Oct. 4 medal semifinals and the gold medal game will be contested Oct. 5.

2000s Recipes + Menus
Chocolate Ganache Cakes with White-Coffee Foam
- Active time:45 min
- Start to finish:1 3/4 hr
October 2000
The coffee foam attains its consistency with the help of a charged siphon. If you don't own one, don't worry—the coffee mixture can also be served, chilled but unfoamed, as a sauce.
For coffee foam
- 1/2 cup green coffee beans
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 (13 1/2-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For chocolate ganache cakes
- 4 whole large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 lb Valrhona or Lindt bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
Special equipment:1-liter whipped-cream siphon and 2 gas (N2O) chargers
Make coffee foam:
Toast coffee beans with brown sugar in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring constantly to evenly toast beans, until sugar is melted and beans are color of almond skins, 12 to 15 minutes.
Add coconut milk and simmer (mixture will bubble up and steam, and sugar will harden), stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour through a sieve into a metal bowl and stir in cream.
Set metal bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water to chill, stirring occasionally.
Transfer sauce to siphon and screw on top tightly. Unscrew charge holder from head and put in a charger. Reattach charge holder and screw on tightly. Gas will be released into siphon (with a whooshing sound) within a few seconds. Chill filled siphon at least 1 hour to produce a stiffer foam. Remove and discard first charger. (As you unscrew charge holder, youll hear a brief hissing sound.) If fitting from holder comes out attached to charger, just remove charger and reattach fitting. Screw on second charger and chill at least 15 minutes (longer if a test of foam is not thick enough).
Make cakes:
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Butter and flour 8 (4-oz) ramekins, knocking out excess flour, and put on a baking sheet.
Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and sugar until combined well.
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring.
Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk egg mixture into it. Sift flour evenly over chocolate mixture and fold in until just combined.
Divide among ramekins and bake in middle of oven until cakes begin to puff but centers are not set, 12 to 13 minutes.
Shake siphon well, about 1 minute. Turn upside down and press lever to fill a bowl with coffee foam.
Serve cakes in ramekins with coffee foam on the side.

Long won the penalty which led to the Tigers' opener for Liam Rosenior then fired home the second himself to secure a 2-0 win over struggling West Brom.
The Ireland international had surprisingly been allowed to leave The Hawthorns in January when Bruce also brought in former Everton striker Nikica Jelavic.
Bruce said: "The two strikers came in at just the right time and have given the whole club a boost.
"We didn't play well today by any stretch of the imagination but if you have got that bit of quality at the top end of the pitch they can create something and they will always be a handful with the attitude they've got."
Long was barracked by the visiting Baggies fans for his part in the penalty incident, falling under the challenge of Craig Dawson in the box in what television replays suggested had been minimal contact.
Jelavic's penalty was saved by Baggies keeper Ben Foster but Rosenior was on hand to head home the rebound and and score his first senior goal since October 2009.
Bruce added: "Shane is never going to dive - he's as genuine as they come
But when you move as quickly as he does, you are going to go over with the slightest little tap
"It might be a soft penalty but Chris Foy is close and maybe he's seen and heard some contact."
West Brom boss Pepe Mel criticised the penalty decision and said he believed his side should have been awarded one in the second half when James Morrison fell under a challenge in the box.
The result leaves his side three points and two places above the drop zone and fighting to restore the feelgood factor generated by last week's win at Swansea.
Mel said: "I think it was a bad decision by the referee, and in the second half there was the same situation in the other box and the referee missed it."
Mel refused to blame Long for the penalty incident and insisted the defeat was not made any harder to take by the fact that a former player was so instrumental in his side's demise.
Mel added: "Shane Long is a good professional and he is a striker for Hull City.
"For us it is about playing with attention and hard work and it is the same for us whether it is against Shane Long or any other players
Shane only wants the best for his team and I think it is normal.
"I always believe we are capable of winning a game but today it was not possible
But Fulham lost, Palace lost, Cardiff lost and Sunderland lost
There are now four teams beneath us and the next game is a big one for us."
While Mel faces a major challenge rousing his players for what promises to be a tight relegation run-in, Bruce is now convinced his side is within touching distance of safety with one more win likely to preserve top-flight status for at least another year.
Bruce said: "I've said all along I think 10 wins is going to be enough and now we have to do whatever it takes to see it through
We have still got a little bit to do and we certainly won't be taking anything for granted."

Apple Has Approved 1 Million Apps for the App Store
As of Monday, Apple has now approved more than 1 million apps for the App Store, according to data from Appsfire, a mobile app discovery platform.
Appsfire announced the news in a tweet early Monday:
Breaking: today will mark the day the App store has seen 1 million apps ever created since launch (iOS)
— Appsfire (@appsfire) November 19, 2012
Appsfire's co-founder Ouriel Ohayon told The Next Web that 493,298 of these app submissions were paid apps and 158,848 were gaming apps. In total, just more than 736,000 of these app submissions are now live for iPhone or iPad, due to the fact that many apps were later taken down for copyright reasons or removed by their creators for other reasons.
Apple frequently touts the number of apps in its App Store, but it's unlikely the company will put out a press release anytime soon including the number of apps that have been approved and then removed. Still, it's an impressive feat, and one that speaks to the incredible growth in the app market overall.
The company released the original iPhone in 2007 and created the App Store the following year. It took Apple more than a year to hit 100,000 apps, but since then the selection has grown by leaps and bounds and there are now more than 700,000 apps, 250,000 of which are specifically for iPad.
For years, Apple has had a tremendous lead on competitors, but Google Play passed 700,000 apps last month, putting it roughly on par with Apple's App Store.

Mars500 video diary 12: It is finally (and it was) Mars!
The highlight of the Mars500 was landing on Mars. Diego and Romain show in this long video everything that happened in the exciting month of February at the Mars500 modules.
The Mars500 crew arrived virtually at Mars on 1 February and - as the mission description goes - docked there with a lander, found it full of cargo and transferred it to their spacecraft. After careful preparations three crewmembers (Diego Urbina, Alexandr Smoleevskiy and Wang Yue) entered the lander on 8 February and they 'landed' on Mars. Romain Charles, Alexey Sitev and Sukhrob Kamolov continued to 'orbit' Mars and followed their friends as they made three 'Marswalks', then rejoined them on 27 February after 'docking' with the orbital vehicle.
This video is a compilation of the material they recorded during this key period of the Mars500 isolation study.

Reprinted from the Cornell Chronicle, March 8, 2017.
Charles Brainerd, professor and chair of the Department of Human Development in the College of Human Ecology, and 13 other scholars nationwide have been elected the newest members of the National Academy of Education (NAEd) for their scholarly contributions in the field of education research.
NAEd advances high-quality education research and its use in policy and practice. It consists of 209 U.S. members and 11 foreign associates who are elected on the basis of outstanding scholarship related to education.
"It was not something that I anticipated and came as a surprise," Brainerd said. "For me, this is another indicator of the international stature of the human development department."
Brainerd joins fellow Cornell NAEd members Stephen Ceci, Ronald Ehrenberg, Robert Sternberg and Kenneth Strike.
Brainerd has published more than 300 research articles and chapters and more than 20 books. His research covers human memory and decision-making, statistics and mathematical modeling, cognitive neuroscience, learning, intelligence, cognitive development, learning disability and child abuse.
Within the field, Brainerd's research is known for having had deep impacts on educational, developmental and cognitive psychology, and he is credited with major breakthroughs across both his theoretical and empirical contributions.
His current research centers on the relation between memory and higher reasoning abilities in children and adults, also focusing on false-memory phenomena, cognitive neuroscience, aging and neurocognitive impairment.
Academy members are tapped to serve on expert study panels and are also engaged in NAEd's professional development programs, including postdoctoral and dissertation fellowship programs.
"It's an opportunity to serve," said Brainerd. "The national academy forms committees and study groups of leading scholars to work on important issues in higher education – important and prominent questions of the day – and provides advice and leadership on those questions."
Stephen D'Angelo is assistant director of communications for the College of Human Ecology.

The Lyons Grill restaurant is back in business, one year after closing, and there will be a familiar face in the kitchen for many Morenci area residents.
Dan and Cheryl Storrer, owners of Stella Blue restaurant in Archbold, are the new owners in Lyons.
"We heard it was closed and knew it had a good location," Dan said. "There's a good radius of other towns and that sparked our interest."
Dan used to work in construction and he welcomed the challenge of clearing out the old restaurant and creating a new look inside.
The Storrers hired Andrew Whitehead of Morenci to serve as chef and they're pleased to have him as part of the Lyons Grill team.
Dan expects to make a few menu changes as they settle into their routine, but customers should expect to find prime rib back on the menu like the former Lyons Grill, along with New York and rib eye steak, and Cincinnati style chili (spaghetti with brisket, Texas-style chile), burgers, pastas and home-cut french fries.
"We'll add some features as we go," he said, and the Storrers also aim to establish lunch hours.

Chargers likely bound for another blackout
The Chargers left Pittsburgh riding a season high.
They returned to San Diego, where ticket sales are at a season low.
Nearly 13,000 general tickets remain unsold for Sunday's game against the Panthers, a team spokesman said Monday. The franchise is on pace for its third straight blackout and fourth of the year, its most in a single season since it had four in 2004.
They have until Thursday at 1:05 p.m. to avoid this one. If not enough tickets are sold by then, the game won't be broadcast in Southern California, per NFL policy.
So far, half of San Diego's six home games have escaped blackout this year. The first was the home opener against the Titans, for which the team received a 24-hour extension. The others were prime-time games against the Broncos and Chiefs.
The latter, broadcast Nov. 1 on NFL Network, needed assistance from corporate sponsors, who purchased several thousand tickets before the league deadline.
The Chargers (5-8) are coming off a 34-24 Sunday win over Pittsburgh. It wasn't widely seen in San Diego.
The game drew a 20.3 television rating, lowest for a Chargers game since a 19.9 figure on Oct. 4, 2004, against the Panthers. Last year's average rating was 30.2, the third consecutive year with higher than a 30.
This season's average in local viewership fell Sunday from 29.7 to 28.7
On average, a game broadcast last season was viewed in more than 328,000 local homes. Sunday's win reached a little more than 218,000, or about one-third fewer.
Three Chargers games were blacked out in 2010, and two were in 2011. Between 2004 and 2009, the team had a sellout streak of 48 consecutive games.

RACINE, Wis., March 28 (UPI) -- Eighty-one percent of U.S. adults said they want to eat fresh ingredients but fewer than 50 percent actually eat fruits and vegetables daily, a survey says.
The Ziploc Fresh Eating Survey identified the Top 10 "freshest cities" -- where residents were seeking and eating the freshest food options available, via farmer's markets and gardening habits.
The 10 freshest U.S. cities were Hartford, Conn.; Richmond, Va.; San Francisco; Austin-Round Rock, Texas; Sacramento; Boston; Portland, Ore.; Washington; San Jose, Calif.; and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
There are 1.45 farmers markets per every 100,000 Americans countrywide, but there are 60.1 fast-food establishments.
East Coast residents have a better chance of finding farmers markets -- including Albany, N.Y., with 3.84 farmers markets per every 100,000 people, and Hartford, Conn., with 3.26 farmers markets per every 100,000.
Nationwide, 89 percent of Americans said they felt like a good parent when their family's diet contains fresh food, the survey said.
The Ziploc Brand partnered recently with author and TV personality Rachael Ray for a two-year healthy eating initiative.
Ray said the survey results "shed light on the fact that Americans want to eat fresh food and are hungry for the resources to do so."

EpicMealTime is both depressing and terrible. I hope you can wipe them off the face of the planet, or at the very least, obliterate them from Saveur's Food Blog Awards. They don't even belong in Saveur, they're better suited to something like CollegeHumor.com I really hope you win so that more people can find you as you are the defacto standard of excellence.

Dig it! Reasons not to let it be
Published March 4, 2004, in issue #0309 of the Hook
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. "Rest in peace" doesn't always work out that way. What are reasons for unburying the dead? B. Stoker
A. Disinterment or exhumation is done today for medicolegal (was it really Lee Harvey Oswald?) or scientific purposes (was AIDS the true cause of death?), or because a cemetery is being abandoned, or the relatives wish to move the body, says Kenneth V. Iserson, M.D., in Death To Dust.
History records some more striking cases, as when grieving U.S. President Abraham Lincoln twice needed "just one more look" at his child Willy's face. During the French Revolution, the dead were not uncommonly exhumed and then decapitated for political crimes.
Pope Formosus' (816-896) remains were twice disinterred for supposed crimes, once by Pope Stephen VII, who had the body dragged through the streets, tried and convicted, and fingers cut off (the "Cadaver Synod"), then again later by Pope Sergius III for another run through of the foregoing.
During a cholera epidemic of the Middle Ages, a dead "witch" was exhumed and reburied face down to stop the plague, then when this didn't work was re-exhumed and her grave clothes turned inside out. Later– plague still raging– her heart was removed, cut into four pieces and burned at the corners of the village.
The 19th-century poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti buried the only copies of some poems with his wife, then seven years later decided he wanted them, says Dr. Iserson. One fall night by the light of a bonfire, the lady's body was disinterred, her long flaming red hair covering the manuscript, strands of which were also taken and presented to the author.
Q. Driver A explodes off the line in a dragster to reach an incredible 392.54 mph in a sizzling time of 3.72 seconds, setting a record. Driver B rides a rocket sled from standstill to 72.5 mph in .04 seconds, less than an eyeblink. Who has the more exciting– or frightening– ride? -T. Payne
A. These were the performances of Kitty O'Neil in 1977 and Eli Beeding Jr. in 1958, and the Beeding ride– at less than one-fifth the top speed– was likely the bigger shocker, say David Halliday et al. in Fundamentals of Physics. The human body is not a speedometer but an accelerometer it senses accelerations. Traveling 1000 mph in a jet can feel like nothing at all, but accelerating up to that speed can be felt plenty.
In O'Neil's case, she was subjected to a mild 4.8 g's of acceleration, taking much more time to build to her greater speed, whereas Beeding was hit by 80 g's, which "could have been lethal, had it continued much longer."
Q. When we motoring humans really move out beyond Earth, on which moons or planets would our automobiles run best? What special driving stunts based on extraterrestrial physics might be in store for us? E. Knieval
A. All vehicles would have to be electric because no moon or other planet has oxygen to support a traditional internal combustion engine, says space scientist James Gering of the Florida Institute of Technology. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune lack solid surfaces for tires to roll over, being essentially just large balls of gas.
The electric Lunar Rovers showed that driving on the Moon can be quite fun. The tires churned up "rooster tails" of moon dust, and there was enough gravity (1/6 Earth's) to keep the tires in contact with the surface, though it was a bouncy ride.
"Of course, when you weigh only 1/6 of what you're accustomed to, bounces won't feel so jarring," the authors say.
Probably the best planet would be Mars, says Terry Oswalt, also of the Florida Institute of Technology. At least it has some atmosphere and a relatively high gravity.
The best place to drive there might be down one of the dry washes inside canyons where water flowed over a billion years ago. Some of these descend many kilometers– you could use a "soap box derby" car for downhill. Under 40% of Earth's gravity, you could easily top the daredevil's stunt of jumping over long lines of parked cars or school buses.
However, cornering would be tough, because of low gravity and poor road friction. Special tires would help.
For the truly adventurous, says Oswalt, assuming your car is more like a pressurized wheeled spacecraft, driving on an asteroid like Eros might be interesting.
"With such a low gravity– less than 1 percent Earth's– and ground-hugging wheels to accommodate the low friction, you could drive fast enough to launch yourself into a ballistic orbit!"

I like a good t-shirt.
Being in Japan, I'm always on the lookout for cool shirts in bad english, but I haven't seen ones I've wanted to buy lately. Nevertheless, if I see a shirt that catches my eye, I'll break the piggy bank and get it.
A place that has some good contemporary street wear is Jackpot in Shinjuku. It's where I bought my first pair of red docs.
On the 23rd of August I got this Tuesday Night Band Practice shirt. It says, "If I wasn't born already, rock'n'roll would have to invent me". It looks like something someone in a band would wear. It was only about 1,000 yen, marked down from something like 7,000 yen, so I decided to get it.
A long time ago I saw this "Let Go" t-shirt by Imaginary Foundation. It has some really cool graphics that remind me of Ryuji Otani's artwork. At the time it cost over 5,000 yen so I hesitated. By the time I went back it was gone. Fortunately I saw it again on the 13th of September at half price so I snapped it up for 2,520 yen. Lucky I found it too, as it's been discontinued.
The shirt on the right with the dog is a Grinspoon t-shirt that I won on the 17th off the local radio station, InterFM. They posted it to me and it just arrived yesterday. I think it's pretty hilarious winning an Australian band's t-shirt in Japan. (I'm easily amused though). I really like it. It saved me $40. The "Grinners" are a cool band so I'll happily wear it out.
I highly recommend 76.1 InterFM, especially Global Satellite with Guy Perryman and Sayoko, and the Dave Fromm show, that plays a nice mix of hard rock. It was on his program that I deciphered puresento T shatsu, and shot off an inquisitive email to win the shirt.
While I'm on the subject of t-shirts, I saw online this line of interactive shirts by Noto Fusai. Strangely cool huh?

I love Guy Perryman and InterFM...used to listen to it while jogging. Was always amazed at how NONE of my Japanese students listened to the radio or had heard of any of the shows on InterFM.
Guess they are stuck in JTV land.

I like how InterFM uses a lot of English interspersed with Japanese. I usually listen to them on my way to work, on the trains.
J Wave 81.3 is pretty good too. They play more hip-hop music that the young 'uns are into.
