Los Angeles — Over the last half of 2003, students in their final year in the Fully-Employed MBA Program (FEMBA) at UCLA Anderson School of Management participated in a six-month, international field study program that not only helped companies abroad with business and market development plans, but also enable the students to bridge some gaps in their own professional careers.
On December 13 in Korn Convocation Hall, participants in the Global Access Program (GAP) presented their final strategic business plans for 21 small, international start-up companies as varied as Process Flow Ltd Oy (a computational fluid dynamics consulting company in Turku, Finland) and Granjamar, S.A. (a Chilean fishery founded in 1990). Teams consisting of five FEMBA students made their presentations to an audience of 200, including panel judges, international partner representatives, international company executives and invited guests.
In working with foreign entrepreneurial companies, the students' goal is to develop plans that will enable the firm to move to their next stage of corporate development. Participating firms benefit from the student teams' estimated 1,200 hours of work.
Students visited their respective companies and countries during various points of the field study project and devoted nearly six months to developing their plans. Students also received guidance and instruction from Bob Foster, adjunct associate professor in the decisions, operations and technology management department at UCLA Anderson. Professor Foster, who is also faculty director of GAP, leads a popular business plan development course. Through GAP, UCLA Anderson students have developed business plans for more than 75 companies in the past six years.
"Our students have a unique opportunity to work very closely with a small entrepreneurial startup venture in a foreign country," said Prof. Foster. "They develop significant management consulting skills and are able to closely observe the challenges of growing a startup venture. Our client firms benefit from the strategic thinking and primary research efforts of five talented students in their last year of the MBA program."
The students conduct primary, hands-on research in order to develop market expansion plans and uncover strategies. As professionals with various industry experience, the UCLA Anderson FEMBA students bring a significant amount of expertise to the international companies. The FEMBA students are employed full time and have an average of five years of work experience, bringing significant industry expertise to the process. In addition, each team is assigned a UCLA Anderson faculty adviser, who serves as an information resource and mentor.
Upon being selected for the field study opportunity and placed in their teams, students immerse themselves in the project. They meet their company's key members and review established products, markets and finances. The students spend approximately five days in country, verifying and clarifying their understandings of the company's goals and objectives.
In addition to their site research and group work over the six months, all students are required to attend Prof. Foster's Saturday course, which is newly incorporated into the GAP field study program. It's a change that International Field Study Manager Bonny Kim believes is significant.
"The course provides structure to GAP that it did not previously have and offers students a comprehensive experience in international business and entrepreneurship," Kim noted.
In 2003, there were 110 students working on 22 business plans for companies in Australia, Chile, Finland, Italy and Mexico. However, the companies are not the only ones who have found the efforts of FEMBA students invaluable. The students get a lot from the experience as well. Although some participants' professional careers do not perfectly align with what they specifically do within the GAP project, the experiences are beneficial to them in their professional careers.
"I am able to view project plans much more critically," said FEMBA student Sally Jercha, a refinery economist for ExxonMobil Oil Corporation. Her GAP team determined the sushi-grade hirame market size in the United States and developed a strategy to help a Chilean fishery, Granjamar, S.A., penetrate the California and New York/New Jersey markets.
"I am better equipped to highlight assumptions that involve a high measure of risk, so that the appropriate actions can be taken to minimize financial exposure at the project development level," said Jercha.
While representing Granjamar, S.A., Jercha found that each member of her team brought their respective strengths to the project, whether they knew finance, marketing, project implementation or something else. New areas of knowledge indelibly rubbed off on each member of the group, while they still divided up the workload accordingly.
Jercha noted that Granjamar is presenting the business plan her team developed to Chilean investors and the company is following up on sales leads generated by her team during their extensive market research.
"They feel extremely comfortable with our research and are ready to enter the U.S. market next year," added Jercha.

However, the Blue Devils' approach to the non-league match may have been a little too casual. Few of the SCH lads were on top of their game, and the result was a 203-225 loss to a very solid cadre of Colonials, who play their home matches at Green Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill.
SCH had been scheduled to start the season with another non-league bout (against St. Joe's Prep) but that encounter was cancelled, so the Devils launched right into league competition, in the current tournament-style format that has all of the Inter-Ac teams playing at the same time.
Springside Chestnut Hill only graduated one player, Nick McNiff, from last year's team, and remains a relatively young squad with no seniors in the varsity rotation.
The Blue Devils finished fourth at the first league gathering, which took place on their home ground at Sunnybrook, and two weeks ago they had the same result in the second Inter-Ac convocation out at Merion Golf Club's West Course. Longtime league power Haverford School won both events.
For Plymouth Whitemarsh, Monday's victory produced an overall mark of 12-1 for the season, while the team's record in the Suburban One League's American Conference remained 11-1. The Colonials' only loss this fall came at the hands of league-leading Upper Dublin (by just three strokes), and a rematch between the two contenders is in the offing.
In both Pa. Interscholastic Athletic Association and Inter-Ac League golf, each team in a match designates eight athletes as its designated players, but in the Inter-Ac the top six individual rounds count in the team scoring, while in the PIAA only the top five scores are figured in.
The latter formula was followed in last Monday's match, but it made no difference. There was a large gap between the team totals to begin with, and SCH's sixth individual score was a 48, while PW's was a 45.
The Plymouth Whitemarsh pair in the first foursome got the visitors off to a promising start, combining for an 81-stroke performance while the two Blue Devils came in at 90.
Logging the best round of the afternoon, Colonials senior Evan Beaty birdied the par-five third hole, then had a bogey later in his round to come in at even par, with a 36. His 11th-grade colleague, Carter Field, carded a 45, landing in between the two SCH members of the group.
The Blue Devils were led by promising eighth-grader Chris Dalglish, with a 42, while junior Jack Grasso, who'd scored a 37 at Merion West in the second Inter-Ac match, had a few balls get away from him back at Sunnybrook and finished with a 48.
Plymouth Whitemarsh was ultimately able to drop Field's 45 from the team scoring, and the highest official round for the Colonials became the 44 turned in by senior Zak Glaser, who played in the second foursome. The other Colonials player in this group wound up hitting the wrong ball along the way and did not complete an full round of golf.
SCH junior Brian Giegerich, part of this same quartet out on the course, turned in the hosts' second-best tally of the day with a 43, and classmate Peter Anthony arrived at the clubhouse with a 48. There would be two more rounds of 48 for Springside Chestnut Hill, coming from sophomore Mac McHugh and freshman Wyatt Smith in the fourth foursome.
The Devils ended up keeping two of their four 48's as part of the team score, to go along with Daglish's 42, Giegerich's 43, and a score of 44 furnished by Giegerich's sophomore brother, Matt.
The younger Giegerich played in the third foursome, from which PW extracted a 39 from junior Dave Pontari and a 41 from freshman John Hansel. Colonials senior Jake Mingione, a member of the last foursome, completed his team's overall score with a round of 43.

I've have made plum tarts before, and no doubt will again before the season is over, but this recipe struck me as something highly original – teaming plums with chocolate isn't a combination that leaps to mind but goodness me, does it work!
I think the key is to go as bitter as you dare with the chocolate. The rich, dark bitterness compliments the juicy, sweet acidity of the plums to create deliciousness! The chocolate isn't immediately obvious but gives an extra something to the flavours.
The plums I used are damson plums. Most people I talk to don't realise that some damsons can be eaten like plums. Damsons seem to get a bad press as acidic, tart and inedible without turning into jam. My damsons came from the tree in my parents' garden and are as sweet as any Victoria plum.
Perhaps it's sentimental but I always think that the damson tree's bounteous crop is its way of thanking us for saving it. Many, many years ago (possibly over 20) I went to garden centre and there, in the reduced-to-clear section, was a rather pathetic looking twig in a pot. The label stated it was a damson plum tree but such a grand declaration didn't really match the look of it. It was the only tree in the bargain section and seemed rather forlorn; for reasons I can't explain it tugged at my heartstrings so I bought it – even though it was in the sale it was expensive (to me, at the time) for a twig. The tree grew steadily but it took several years for any crop to appear, but when it did – oh wow! Year after year we are rewarded with pounds of delicious, juicy, sweet damsons – we give away bagfuls to friends and neighbours, we make jam, pies, cakes, we leave the high fruits for the birds and still we have pounds of damsons!
When I started telling you the story of the damson tree I didn't realise I would reach anything like a moral ending, but I suppose the moral of this story is that just because you start out as a twig in a pot in the sale section needn't mean you can't turn into a beautiful tree producing wonderful fruit! Here endeth today's lesson….normal flippant service will be resumed shortly….
500g plums (I used damsons)
175g light muscovado sugar, plus 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top
175g unsalted butter
175g self raising flour
175g ground hazelnuts (if you can't find these simply place chopped or whole hazelnuts into the food processor and blitz until ground)
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
50g dark chocolate (70 per cent cocoa), chopped
2 tbsp hazelnuts
To serve: thick cream
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line the base of a 20cm round springform cake tin with baking paper.
- Halve and stone 4-5 of the plums depending on their size and set aside for later.
- Chop the remaining plums – not too small, you want to know they're there in the cake.
- Place the sugar, butter, flour, ground hazelnuts, eggs and baking powder into a bowl and beat until smooth and well combined. It will take a few minutes.
- Stir in the chopped plums and chocolate.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Arrange the retained plum halves over the top and gently press them just into the cake mix.
- Scatter over the whole hazelnuts.
- Sprinkle over 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out cleanly. Mine took 55 minutes
- Cool in the tin, on a wire rack, until you can handle the tin to turn the cake out. Leave to cool completely. Because this is a squidgy cake it might sink a little on cooling – don't worry, it will still taste juicy and divine.
- Serve with thickly whipped cream or, if serving as a dessert, pouring cream or ice cream.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Super Hydra 400 BuildPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on August 1, 2013
The Chevy Turbo Hydramatic 400 (Turbo 400 or TH400) is the quintessential three-speed automatic transmission. In a time when 4x4 manufacturers are building transmissions from four-, five-, and six-speed on up to nine-speed, these archaic three-speeds are still considered the go-to trans by off-roaders looking for a tough-as-nails slushbox.
We're not going to downplay the strength of the 400's three-speed cousins, the Ford C6 and Dodge TF727, but the 400 has, like the GM V-8, a lot more aftermarket support. We have seen the 400 swapped behind many different engines and inside every type of race vehicle, from mud bogger to rockcrawler to Trophy Truck. The TH400 is strong and simple, there's no computer to get confused and no additional wires or garbage to worry about, and it can get even better with a high-performance valve body. Plus, with new developments by the aftermarket the TH400 just keeps improving.
The latest upgrade offered for the TH400 is the new Super Hydra 400 case from Reid Racing. The TH400 was offered with a variety of cases depending on the original application (car, truck, heavy-duty truck), but this new Reid case steps beyond even the toughest factory case to offer increased strength, dependability, and rigidity to help transfer power to the ground from even the biggest powerplants under the hood.
We recently visited Rancho Drivetrain Engineering to follow along as they built a desert-racing performance transmission. Then we tried our hand at building a trail rig version of our own. With a 400 like this you'll be dreaming of more motor in front of it.
SH400 Do-It-Yourself
We realized that we didn't need a full-blown Trophy Truck transmission for our rockcrawler, but we wanted to upgrade from the old 700R4 to a beefy 400 in anticipation of more horsepower. We sourced a Reid Racing SH400 case as well as a complete set of clutches, steels, and Kevlar bands and a deep pan from Summit Racing Equipment. We also purchased a 4L80E direct drum with straight-cut planetaries and the center support. From Rancho Drivetrain we got the billet forward hub and drum with 300M input shaft and the company's unique reverse manual valve body, the only one we could find with compression braking.
We took all these parts and a used TH400 from our old Project Army Truck and headed to Aaron's Advanced Automotive for the assembly. Aaron Runyan lent us a hand and gave instructions while we assembled a transmission for our crawler. Building a TH400 isn't impossible for a rookie transmission builder, but it's not a bad idea to purchase a how-to DVD from Summit and/or find an experienced trans builder willing to teach you the ways of the slushbox.

Fall Out Boy Stream New Album 'Save Rock and Roll' [Listen]
Although Fall Out Boy's new record, 'Save Rock and Roll,' isn't due out until next week, the Chicago rockers decided to stream it today (April 8). Check out their entire 11-song comeback album below.
The reunited emo-posters had previously dropped hints about teaming up with Courtney Love and Elton John, and sure enough, both singers are featured on the disc. Love brings guest vocals to 'Rat A Tat,' while John appears on the record's title track. FOB also collaborated with rapper Big Sean on the tune 'The Mighty Fall.'
Fall Out Boy announced the album stream on their official website, along with the following statement:
this album is one that is particularly close to us. we recorded it in secret from the music industry, critics, and even our fans. an artists first record sounds the way it does because it is often made without expectations. this is not our first record. but because of the way we went about making this one in the shadows it is with out a doubt the first record in a new chapter of fall out boy. we made this music for ourselves and no one else at the end of the day. this is meant be played loud, with the windows down on summer nights. four friends with our backs to each other fighting in the darkness against anything and everything that is out there. we bowed our heads, took a knee and plugged back in. from the first strings to the last shouts- this is us.
Listen to Fall Out Boy's 'Save Rock and Roll'

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells. In cancer, cells become abnormal and grow out of control. As the number of abnormal blood cells increase, the healthy blood cells are outnumbered. There are three main types of blood cells. Each has a distinct job:
- White blood cells (WBC), also called lymphocytes, are most often involved in leukemia. Their main job is to help the immune system.
- Red blood cells (RBC) carry oxygen throughout the body.
- Platelets help the blood clot at injury sites.
Leukemia cells cannot do the job of normal blood cells. This causes many of the symptoms of leukemia. The disease starts in the bone marrow where blood cells are made. The most common types of leukemia are:
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
The exact cause of leukemia is not known. Certain risk factors are thought to be related.
Risk Factors
These risk factors are thought to be related to leukemia. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Age—leukemia is most common in people over aged 60
- AML and CLL are most common in adults
- ALL is most common in children
- Chemotherapy for previous cancer
- Some genetic diseases such as Down syndrome
- Chronic exposure to benzene that exceeds federally approved safety limits
- Radiation therapy from previous therapy
- Myelodysplastic syndrome —a blood disease; increases risk for AML
- Exposure to tobacco smoke
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to leukemia. They can also vary depending on the type of leukemia and where the cancer cells are located. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Fever or night sweats
- Flu-like symptoms
- Minor cuts that heal slowly
- Excessive reaction to insect bites
- Feeling weak or tired
- Headache
- Pale skin
- Bleeding and bruising easily
- Nosebleeds
- Bleeding gums
- Tiny red spots under the skin
Excess leukemia cells can gather in different parts of the body and organs creating:
- Pain in the bones or joints
- Puffy gums
- Rash
- Difficulty breathing
- Swelling of testicles
- Swelling or discomfort in the abdomen (from enlarged spleen)
- Swollen lymph nodes (particularly in neck or armpit)
- Weight loss
- Meningitis with headache, nausea, loss of muscle control, seizures, symptoms of stroke
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will check for swelling of the liver; spleen; or lymph nodes in the armpits, groin, and neck.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests—to look for leukemia cells in blood
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy —the removal of a sample of bone marrow to look for cancer cells
If cancer cells are found, additional tests may be done. These tests check if the cancer has spread and what systems may already be affected.
- Lumbar puncture —removal of liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord
- Chest x-rays —to look for signs of cancer in the chest
- CT scan —type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body
- MRI scan —test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the body
- Ultrasound —test that uses sound waves to examine masses and organs inside the body
- Positron emission tomography (PET)—test makes images that show the amount of activity in body tissues
The goal for acute leukemia is to destroy all signs of the disease and return the blood and bone marrow to normal. Chronic leukemia is rarely curable. Treatment focuses on slowing disease progression.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include the following:
- Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec)—used to treat myeloid leukemia by reducing the number of cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow
- Nilotinib —targeted therapy similar to imatinib
- Dasatinib —targeted therapy similar to imatinib (if leukemia cells become resistant to imatinib)
These drugs can cause infertility and early menopause. Talk to your doctor about your fertility options before you start treatment.
Your doctor may prescribe medicine to stimulate the production of healthy blood cells, such as:
- Filgrastim (Neupogen)
- Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta)
- Epoetin alpha (Procrit, Epogen)
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms including pill, injection, and via a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells. Some healthy cells are killed as well. The specific combination of drugs will depend on the type of leukemia, your age, and condition.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a type of treatment that uses radiation to kill cancer cells. Typically, it is only used to prepare for a bone marrow transplant or in some cases of chronic leukemia.
- Blood transfusions —Healthy blood cells from a donor are given through an intravenous line (IV). This may be done if the leukemia is causing shortness of breath, fatigue, or severe bleeding.
- Bone marrow transplant —Stem cells from a donor's healthy bone marrow are injected in you. Stem cells can make all types of blood cells. Once injected into your bloodstream, the stem cells should make healthy blood cells.
- Splenectomy —The spleen may need to be removed if it becomes congested with leukemia cells.
Biological Therapy (Immunotherapy)
The therapy uses medications or substances made by the body to improve your body's defense against cancer. This type of treatment is still fairly new and under investigation. Talk with you doctor about whether this treatment is an option for you and about clinical trials in your area.
To help reduce your chance of getting leukemia, take the following steps:
- Avoid exposure to benzene.
- Avoid exposure to high levels of radiation when possible.
- If you smoke, quit.

The "Red Bull" Nick Berk has been entertaining wrestling fans on the East Coast U.S. Indy circuit for so long, that it's often forgotten he's still a young gentleman of 24. A mainstay at Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), the Philadelphia-based wrestler is now in his eighth year as a professional mat man. He's one of a small percentage that has endured in the oftentimes brutal business, while thousands have debuted and quickly departed. Yet, the notion of being perceived as a veteran is one he still finds a little tricky.
"I'm veteran to some people, and then to some people I'm not," he told SLAM! Wrestling. "It depends on who you compare me to whether or not I am a veteran. I
haven't been to WWE yet, I wasn't in WCW, and I haven't been to [NWA] TNA yet, so as far as that level goes, I'm not a veteran. But, as far as experience wise, I'm still learning, but I have learned a great deal and a lot more than now the majority of the people in the business."
Throughout his years in the business Berk has developed an unique, innovative style, which is a hybrid form of technical, submission, and high-flying wrestling. He describes it as the "renegade version of the new old school."
"It's a combination of a lot of different things," Berk said. "I can do everything. I've done the brawling, I've done the hardcore, I've done the technical, I've done the submission, I've done it all. And with my style, it's really hard to distinguish it to one type of description, because I actually do change with every person I wrestle because every person is different, so I change my style to blend with them, or to set them off - to offset them and maybe teach them something different during our match. So my style is actually maybe an innovative learning experience so to speak."
Berk has regularly showcased his innovative wrestling skills on CZW shows since debuting with the company in August 1999. The company, headed by John Zandig, is one of the more popular, albeit controversial promotions (because of its "ultraviolent" tag) on the U.S. wrestling scene.
"It's been a roller coaster," Berk said of his time working for the company. "I love being there, sometimes I hate being there, but that goes with almost any job out there, and that goes with any situation in life. There's always ups and downs, and there's always other people that have to be put before you, and everybody has their time to shine, and maybe my full time hasn't come to shine yet, maybe it already has, I don't know. But I definitely love it there."
The 5-foot-10 grappler describes the locker room at CZW as family-like, and believes that particular structure is responsible for the longevity of the company.
"The people here I think of as my family, whether they're here for one show or here for all the shows," he explained. "I definitely love every person that I've gotten to work with here. Everybody fights with each other here, and then we make up, you know. That's the good part about this company.
"So if my idea is different to somebody else's, of course we're gonna butt heads, but to be able to come out at the end with a cool head is actually overcoming the evils that might lurk in the business and be able to go ahead with a strong company, which I think CZW definitely has a strong company feel to it."
Berk has seen his time with the company as a major "growing experience," an experience which has seen him hold the CZW Heavyweight and Ironman straps, and wrestle the likes of Adam Flash, Tajiri, Tony Mamaluke, and Nunzio. He has also ventured to Japan and Italy with the promotion. On the Italy show, this past March, he worked a three-way dance with Sonjay Dutt and Jimmy Rave. It was reportedly an enthralling, action-packed match, and Berk rates it as one of his finest performances.
"I'd wrestled them both before at different times in one on one action, but there it was a three-way and there was a whole different meaning to it because it was Italy and everything, so we really had to step it up a little bit," he explained. "They're both awesome wrestlers, and the way that we all meshed together and everything with our styles, it was very entertaining and very competitive. It was one of my best matches in the past year definitely, one of my top matches."
He enjoyed everything about the tour, especially the crowd, which was energetic and supportive of all the workers.
"Italy was just a great experience all together," he said. "The crowd was lovely. There's no better feeling than being in a different country, thousands of miles away from your home, and hearing hundreds of people, maybe even thousands of people, from what the attendance was, just chanting your name in the Italian accent and what not. That was really cool."
The show left a positive lasting feeling, a feeling of satisfaction that he made the choice to be a full-time professional wrestler.
"They (the fans) were all those miles away, and they knew my style and they appreciated me, and that makes every day I work out in the gym, every day that I go to training, and every bad day that I had in the wrestling business, it makes it all worthwhile."
Berk has done reasonably well for himself from wrestling, although he admits it's a little more difficult earning a living than it was a couple years ago. He provided an intriguing case scenario.
"Now there's so many other wrestlers out there that can go out there and wrestle for Joe Schmo independent pro wrestling, and they can charge half of what I charge," he explained. "So the Joe Schmo promoter will bring in that wrestler that can wrestle half as good as me, and they'll pay them maybe less than half of what I charge, so that kinda takes money out of my pocket."
While he still brings in something that resembles a living, he is by no stretch of the imagination living lavishly.
"My bills are getting paid and everything, but I'm not living in the mansion and I'm not eating a 10-course meal everyday. I mean, I do have a brand new car, and I'm driving a motorcycle, and I have a pretty nice house and all, but, you know, I'm living month to month and if by chance I might need to go and get another job or something, I guess I'll have to swallow my pride and go do it."
The "Red Bull" has a rock-hard, well-defined body, the evidence of his strict training regime, which consists of working out every weekday, and sticking to a high protein diet. He outlined the general structure of his training regime, which is nothing short of impressive.
"I wake up, eat eggs in the morning with wheat toast, and a protein shake," Berk revealed. "Then I watch some TV, I have another protein shake, and I get ready for the gym. After 20 minutes or half an hour, if the weather's okay, I take a bike ride to the gym because the gym is only about 10 minutes away from my house, so that's a little bit of cardio right there. I'll workout for about an hour and a half on different body parts. I'll do one body part a day, or sometimes I'll combine them. My workout always changes from week to week because that's actually how you get your body to grow.
"Then, when I'm done working out, I'll do some cardio on the cardio machines, or I'll run or something like that. Then I'll ride my bike home, or drive home, and have another protein shake and eat two hours later. Every two hours I'm either having a protein shake, or eating chicken and broccoli, or chicken in salad, or eggs and something. A couple days I'll go to the [CZW] wrestling gym and work with some of the students too. So that's my entire life, that's every day, in and out. Then on the weekends I'm travelling to shows."
Berk rarely strays from his eating regime, and the few exceptions are when family or friends make plans for him.
"They like to tell me I'm gonna go and eat my mum's meal on such and such a day, or I have to go and hang out with my friends on this day and eat their meal," he explained. "So it seems that one day is that day I stray with the one meal."
When he does stray with the meal, he goes "all out."
"A lot of people say you're not supposed to do that, but I do because I love the fatty foods, I can't get enough of it, I gave it all up and it's so hard, so that one meal to have a whole bunch of pasta, or eat pizza, or something like that. I can do it because I've just spent the last six days working really hard and staying away from it."
His hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania possesses some of the crudest, most demanding wrestling fans on the planet. Critics of the infamous "Philly" crowds say they've been spoiled, due to the over-saturation of wrestling in the area, whereas the enthusiasts would argue they keep the wrestlers on their toes, and ensure the in-ring product doesn't get stale.
"Sometimes I do everything short of shooting myself and I can't get them to actually care," Berk said of the typical Philly audience. "But when they do care, and they do show appreciation, it is great, because I mean, you know that when they actually cheer for you, or they 'pop' for a certain 'spot' or move, then you've done something great."
Although he admits they make his job tough, he enjoys the challenge of working in front of them."
"They are the hardest fans to really impress, but it's a challenge and that's why I got into wrestling, and so if I can make them happy then I guess I can go on to the WWE and TNA, and anywhere else, and make them happy with me too."
Berk's motivation in the business stems from watching those associated with the WWE in action because they are living his dream.
"Every time I watch them, that's my motivation," he said. "To see them in the great shape that they're in, to see them being able to wrestle the four, five matches a week that they wrestle. It motivates me to be able to continue on and strive for that goal to be there."
When asked about the future, Berk is quick to point out he's no psychic, although even without a crystal ball, he feels the future will hold great things. He draws on a conversation with WWE Road Agent Tom Pritchard to present his outlook.
"A big thing that Tom Pritchard told me from WWE, he said, you know, 'You're gonna be told no hundreds times before you're told yes and when you're told that yes it's gonna make all those no's forgotten,'" Berk said.
"So the future holds many no's and at least one yes. So that's the only thing I can actually say for my future, because I know it will hold a yes."

Jason Statham built his acting career playing hardcore tough guys. This time around, he plays the no-nonsense title character and master criminal in "Parker." The film starts out with Parker being cheated of his rightful share of a successful heist. When he is shot and left for dead by his cohorts, a familiar revenge plot begins to unfold.
Michael Chiklis plays the leader of the criminal gang that betrayed him. Parker plans a systematic payback against everyone involved. Jennifer Lopez is cast as his beautiful but unlikely partner. She becomes the damsel in distress who complicates the entire plan.
The rest of the show is a familiar formula for violent-caper movies. Bloody gunfights, knife fights and fist fights are rampant. The production values and special effects are great, but it's all been done better many times before. Only fans of pointless death and destruction will be rewarded here.
Eek! 'Witch Hunters' left open for sequel
"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" had barely started before I knew it was going to be a movie to be endured, not enjoyed.
Taking an age-old fairy tale and giving it a modern twist has been done before, but this is just ridiculous. While all the villagers are in dusty rags, H&G; emerge as the prettiest, cleanest and most badass bounty hunters this side of "Django Unchained." If only it had that movie's humor.
It's hard to believe Jeremy Renner (as Hansel) is a two-time Oscar nominee. Perhaps the idea of pulverizing witches and brandishing automatic weapons (in medieval times!) sounded like fun when he signed up, but it doesn't look like anyone's having fun here. They're as bored as we are.
The dialogue is dull, the plot pedestrian and the 3D effects pointless. There are only so many ways to squash someone's skull. The most frightening moments were at the end: They left it open for a sequel.
Two hours of this mess cannot compare with the 1954 Looney Tunes classic, "Bewitched Bunny." In just under seven minutes Bugs Bunny rescues the kids, outwits the witch and gets the girl. He's even won an Oscar — take that, Jeremy Renner!

Australia's 21.C, edited by Ashley Crawford, was probably the best magazine of the '90s—it was my favorite at least—and to be profiled in its pages and later to contribute to it, was an lot of fun for me.
21.C was the most unabashedly intellectual and forward-thinking journal that I have ever seen, anywhere. And it was a striking and beautifully designed product to hold in your hands. Each issue was finely crafted, I must say. To have my own writing published alongside the likes of Erik Davis, Mark Dery, Greil Marcus, Hakim Bey, Rudy Rucker, Bruce Sterling, R.U. Sirius and Kathy Acker was an honor. I also met Alex Burns via Ashley and Alex, of course, went on to edit the Disinformation website for many years.(I wrote about art for 21.C's sister publication—also edited by Ashley Crawford—the quarterly glossy World Art. I know that I wrote an article about the product design of the Japanese pop combo Pizzicato 5, but I can't remember what else.)
Now 21.C is back as an online magazine. There's also a lot of still interesting archival pieces on subjects such as William Burroughs, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson that readers of this blog will find very interesting, I'm sure. There's an interview with me from 1996 conducted by R.U. Sirius where I tell the nutty story of how Disinformation was started. Welcome back 21.C!

Bad days — we all have them and we all have different ways of dealing with them. It was a long night with very little sleep that resulted in me finding the Andrew Johnson relaxation apps in the App Store.
Andrew Johnson is a relaxation coach, hypnotherapist, EFT therapist and reiki teacher. His wide range of recordings (including Beat Procrastination, Quit Smoking and Deep Sleep) are available on CD or as MP3s and due to a partnership with Michael Schneider of HiveBrain Software, many are also available as iPhone apps. I chatted with Michael to find out how he embarked on the journey of creating relaxation apps, what is on his iPhone now and how he sees things developing in the future. (more…)

Paragons of moderation that we are, I came up with this dead easy glaze for baked salmon that turned out to be even better than I had hoped. Seriously, the whole time we were eating, I couldn't shut up about how delicious the fish tasted. Sometimes I turn into a broken record when I'm really enjoying my food; thankfully, Mike just nods and keeps chewing.
The idea for the warmly spiced couscous with dried fruit, pine nuts and scallions came from Nigella Lawson's How to Eat, but I kept this one very light with just a dab of butter that you could actually leave out if you wanted. It is one of my favorite couscous dishes in recent memory. Maybe it's not really all that healthy because you will want to eat more than just one serving.
Rounded out with steamed kale quickly sauteed in a little olive oil and tossed with lemon juice, salt and pepper, I thought this was the perfect colorful healthy plate. The wonderful thing is that it tasted as flavorful and delicious as any meal we would usually cook on a Saturday night.
Salmon with Chipotle-Honey Glaze
Serves 2
Nonstick cooking spray
2-6 oz. salmon fillets, skin on
salt and pepper
3 tbs. honey
1 canned chipotle chile, seeded and chopped, plus 2 tsp. of the sauce from the chile can
1 tbs. lime juice
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, place skin side down on the baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the honey, chipotle chile, chile sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl. Taste and add more honey if you want it sweeter, or more chipotle sauce if you want it hotter.
After 13 to 15 minutes or when the salmon is three-quarters of the way done (depending on thickness), take the baking sheet out of the oven and drizzle the chipotle-honey glaze all over the fish. Continue baking for 5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and is cooked through. Spoon any excess glaze that has collected on the foil over the salmon and serve. If the salmon skin sticks to the foil, gently remove the flesh to the serving plates and no one will have that extra piece of skin left when they are done eating.
Cinnamon-Scented Couscous
Inspired by a recipe in Nigella Lawson's How To Eat
Serves 3-4
1 ¼ c. water, chicken broth or vegetable broth
½ tbs. butter
¼ tsp. salt
1 c. whole wheat couscous
½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cumin
¼ c. dried currants (raisins or cranberries would also work well)
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
2 tbs. pine nuts
Bring the water or broth to a boil over high heat. Add the butter and salt. Add the couscous while continuously stirring with a whisk or fork. When the liquid returns to a boil, lower the heat to the lowest setting and add the cinnamon, cumin, currants, scallions and pine nuts. When all the water is absorbed, cover tightly and remove from heat. Let the couscous steam for at least 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.

The Teaching Research Institute at Western Oregon University has been awarded $10.5 million by the United States Department of Education to operate the operate the National Center on Deaf-Blindness. The center is a collaborative effort between the Teaching Research Institute, the Helen Keller National Center, and the Hilton/Perkins Program at Perkins School for the Blind.
According to figures published by the NCDB, there are some 10,000 infants, children, and students (up to age 21) in the United States who have deaf-blindness (meaning they are both deaf and blind) — and some 90 percent of those have additional disabilities, physical or intellectual.
"Many people think of Helen Keller when they hear 'deaf-blind.' However, many children with deaf-blindness have additional disabilities that significantly impact the complexities inherent in providing quality educational services and supports," according to D. Jay Gense, NCDB director. "Expertise is needed not only in vision and hearing, but a host of other areas as well."
According to the TRI, the trend over the last decade has been for these deaf-blind students to move away from specialty schools and into their local schools for at least part of their education.
"The percentage of young children ages 3-5 educated in a regular early childhood education setting has more than doubled in the past decade. Over 60 percent of the children and youth in school age special education are receiving their education in local schools, with 65 percent of elementary school aged children being served at least portion of their day in a regular classroom in their local school," according to TRI.
"This is a significantly positive shift, but it also means that personnel in these schools need specialized professional development to meet the needs of these children," according to Gense. "The continuing trend toward educational placements in inclusive settings is significant and positive for children and families. The trend does, however, have profound implications on the needs for information, resources, and access to expertise in deaf-blindness being available at a local level."
The grant will support the center's activities in the areas of:
"This grant will help the National Center on Deaf-Blindness continue its very important work to ensure that deaf-blind students get the support and resources they need to succeed in their education," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "All students deserve to be equipped with the appropriate tools and services they need to help them improve academically."
The five-year grant was awarded through ED's Office of Special Education Programs.

DETROIT (AP) — The federal government says 114,000 Michigan residents will get rebates from insurance companies under the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday the $13.9 million in rebates means about 65,000 families will get an average of $214 this summer.
Under the law, insurance companies generally are required to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care and quality improvement. Insurers not meeting that standard have to return the cost difference by Aug. 1.
Michigan residents due rebates will get a check in the mail, credit or debit card reimbursement, or reduced future premiums.
Health and Human Services says the Affordable Care Act's 80/20 rule prompted some insurers to lower prices or improve coverage to meet the standard.

What LinkedIn data can tell us about tackling youth unemployment
Finding a good job is increasingly difficult – especially for young people. Globally, young people are up to four times more likely to be unemployed than adults. Furthermore, the lack of opportunity can have devastating consequences for their long-term employment outcomes. Youth often lack the skills and competencies that are in high demand from employers, but they also face information gaps about which relevant skills they should signal to prospective employers.
To better understand youth and skills trends in emerging markets, the Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) Coalition embarked on a research collaboration with LinkedIn to analyze demand and supply side data from 390,000 entry-level job postings and 6.4 million LinkedIn profiles of young people (aged 21-29) in four diverse middle-income countries. Using big data analytics, the recently released report The Skills Gap or Signaling Gap: Insights from LinkedIn in emerging markets of Brazil, India, Indonesia, and South Africa brings the following three insights on what skills employers in those countries are looking for in youth hires.

Government evaluators in Sexually Violent Predator cases must be thrilled with the possibilities being generated by the prolific paraphilias subworkgroup of the DSM-V Sexual Disorders Workgroup. If these proposed diagnoses make it into the psychiatric bible, the task of establishing that sex offenders have bona fide mental disorders meriting hospitalization will suddenly get a whole lot easier.
But this will only happen if good science is not allowed to interfere with pragmatism and pretextuality. After all, the empirical support for some of these pseudoscientific categories is weak at best.
Now issuing a strong call of alarm is perhaps the premiere scientific researcher into the etiology of rape, Raymond Knight, the Mortimer Gryzmish Professor of Human Relations at Brandeis University.
In a forthcoming article in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, the respected scholar cautions against adoption of Coercive Paraphilic Disorder, which he says is not supported by empirical data and has a vast potential for misuse by the civil commitment industry.
Currently, the propensity to rape is not considered a mental illness. Proponents of adding a rapist diagnosis to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) claim it was only excluded the last time around due to pesky feminists' objections that it would excuse rapists from criminal consequences. However, that turns out to be something of a myth. The main reason it was excluded, says psychologist and lawyer Thomas Zander, who conducted primary research into the history, was because it was not scientifically supportable. And, according to Knight's article, it is even less supportable now than it was back then.
The fact that rape propensity is not a bona fide mental illness has proved a hurdle for the civil commitment industry. To be hospitalized on the basis of possible future dangerousness, sex offenders must be found to suffer from a mental disorder that reduces their volitional control. To get around this legal barrier against unconstitutional preventive detention, government evaluators have taken to assigning a de facto label of "Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified - Nonconsent."
As Knight points out, if Coercive Paraphilic Disorder is introduced into the DSM-V, it will provide tacit support for the legitimacy of the bogus "NOS" diagnosis. This, he says, would be a travesty:
"The inclusion of PCD [Paraphilic Coercive Disorder] would inappropriately legitimize this 'disorder' and grant it the imprimatur of the DSM, which is almost universally cited by expert witnesses in civil commitment proceedings…. The diagnosis has little empirical support, and it would be a travesty to grant it a status that would perpetuate its misuse."In his article, Knight discusses the evidence from a long line of research that suggests there is not a separate category of men with a propensity to rape. Rather than being a distinct "taxon," rape propensity exists along a continuum.
He also challenges the contention of a Canadian research group that rapists are sexually aroused by the coercive aspects of sexual assault. A more likely scientific explanation for why some men rape is that the coercive elements of the situation fail to inhibit their sexual arousal, he writes.
This dimensional model coincides with a large body of sociological and anthropological research, which suggests that men in certain environments -- most notably wars -- are much more likely to commit rape. Indeed, research has found that even on the same college campus, some fraternity environments promote a "rape culture" among men, whereas others do not. (I discuss this environmental aspect of rape in an article I wrote a few years back on the theatrical elements of group rape.)
Knight's scientifically grounded critique is a refreshing change from the pseudoscientific tenor of many of the DSM diagnostic proposals. More scientific rebuttals to some of the shaky studies in the sex offender field are currently in press, and I will try to stay attuned and alert you readers as soon as they become publicly available.

Whomever the Mets choose as their general manager – indications are Sandy Alderson has the inside track – he'll have a long list of managerial candidates to consider.
Add Ryne Sandberg to that list. The Cubs bypassed Sandberg for Mike Quade, and the Hall of Fame second baseman is not pleased and he'll obviously listen to other offers.
He's done everything the Cubs asked of him in preparation for the opportunity to manage in the major leagues, including working his way up the minor league chain, from Single A to Triple A, with success, including being named Pacific Coast League manager of the year.
Sandberg does not have the major league experience advocated here and in other forums, but we don't know how much that criteria will be weighed by the new general manager. If that is lower on his priority list, Sandberg would undoubtedly receive consideration, as will Wally Backman.
It's all speculation for now, and some of it will fall on Sandberg.

CORNWALL — In 28 years leading the Middlebury College football program, retired Panther head coach Mickey Heinecken's teams won 126 games.
But none of those victories may have meant as much to the 69-year-old Cornwall resident as did Democratic President-elect Barack Obama's surge to victory on Election Day.
Heinecken spent a month living in his camper in Berlin, N.H., as a volunteer for the Obama campaign, knocking on doors and seeking votes on Nov. 4.
Heinecken had never volunteered for a campaign before, but had been impressed with Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and decided to support him during the primary season.
"There's such a sense of optimism that's been missing in the country," Heinecken said, back in Addison County late last week. "All of those things aren't going to happen, but the tone that he set is so different than that we've lived with the last eight years that I became a believer.
"I'm retired, and my life revolves around stuff that isn't important at all, and there was really no reason not to," Heinecken continued. "And I had a neighbor (Bill Mandigo, the Middlebury College women's hockey coach and his former football assistant) that said to me a while back that if you feel it's so important, get off your fanny and do something … And he was right."
Heinecken said he had also seen "ill will" toward America when traveling abroad with his wife, Carol.
"People were always nice to us, and I think they liked Americans, but ... after 9-11 people would have given us the shirt off their backs they had such empathy for us, and now to be seen in such an ill light was so frustrating," he said.

SHOREHAM — Rita Davis, 73-year-old cousin of deceased Army sergeant Richard Desautels, will always remember her cousin as a lively and vibrant young boy.
"He was full of energy," recalled Davis, who was only 14 years old when Desautels left their native Shoreham for a tour in the U.S. Army in the Korean War. "His family had this small tractor and he'd come down the hill. He would push the clutch in and come tearing down that hill with the dog right behind him. I remember my stepfather having a royal fit.
"He was just being a boy. That was Richard."
Desautels enlisted as a soldier in the Army when he was 17 years old. In late December 1951, the family found out that Desautels had been taken as a prisoner of war to China. The family hung their hopes on the possibility that Richard would be returned in a prisoner-of-war exchange.
"I can remember his parents were coming to the house because they were going to announce the names on television of the POWs coming to be exchanged. His name was on there. Then when they exchanged them, he didn't come back," Davis remembered.
For decades, the Desautels family waited for some information about their missing son. Then, in May 2003, Desautels' elder brother, Rolland, received a summary from the Pentagon of what a Chinese army official had related about the case. The report acknowledged that Desautels had been a prisoner of war in China and it said he had become mentally ill on April 22, 1953, and died a few days later.
Rolland Desautels sent this report to a POW/MIA advocacy group The National Alliance of Families for further investigation. However, this information was kept a secret from the general public because the Desautels did not believe the authenticity of the report from the Chinese officials.

VERGENNES — The second time proved to be the charm for Vergennes Democrat Diane Lanpher, who pulled off an upset of sorts by winning one of two House seats in the traditional GOP stronghold of Addison-3, toppling one-term incumbent and former Vergennes mayor Kitty Oxholm in the process.
Lanpher, a Vergennes City Council member, received 1,928 tallies in heavy voting in the House district that includes Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes and Waltham. She finished second in the balloting to three-term incumbent Greg Clark, R-Vergennes, who topped the field with a total of 2,220 votes.
Oxholm, finishing her first term, was third with 1,858 votes — 70 behind Lanpher. Rounding out the field was first-time candidate Jean Richardson, a Ferrisburgh Democrat, who garnered 1,558 votes.
Lanpher credited her win to a lot of hard work, both by her and supporters who worked on her behalf. She walked door-to-door within the district and said she was gratified by how many people knew her. Some of the people with whom she spoke in her travels even thought she was an incumbent representative.
"I took that as a positive," Lanpher said, adding her recent election to the Vergennes City Council and voters' interest in Barack Obama at the top of the Democratic ticket probably also helped her House bid.
Lanpher had finished fourth, with 1,217 tallies, in a five-way race for the two Addison-3 seats in 2006. She said she is pleased to have prevailed this year.
"I'm very, very excited," Lanpher said on Tuesday night. "I feel I'm in a position to get things done."
ADDISON COUNTY — Yes, Addison County and Brandon did.
Most local voters joined their peers statewide in backing President-elect Barack Obama as Vermont became the first state that national news networks placed in the Democrat's column on Tuesday night, just minutes after polls in the state closed at 7 p.m.
In heavy turnout that averaged 78 percent and topped 80 percent in at least a dozen local communities, Addison County and Brandon residents also backed statewide winners, including three candidates for major offices who faced opposition: Republican Gov. Jim Douglas of Middlebury, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie and Democratic Secretary of State Deb Markowitz, who garnered the most votes in these parts in all contested races (see chart).
In every case, local voters' support for the statewide and national winners, all of whom prevailed by comfortable margins, exceeded their margins statewide.
As of mid-morning on Wednesday, Obama, a first-term U.S. Senator from Illinois, had claimed 67 percent of the Vermont vote with 87 percent of the overall ballots reported counted.
Assuming that percentage holds, that will be the second-largest margin of victory Obama enjoyed in any state in the nation, trailing only his birth state of Hawaii, where he polled 72 percent. Rhode Island came in third at 63 percent. The heavily African-American District of Columbia backed Obama by an even greater 93 percent.
With 100 percent of the local vote counted, Obama swept to victory in all 24 towns and captured roughly 70 percent of the ballots cast. In four towns, more than 80 percent of voters favored Obama over Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee.
Ripton led the way with 83 percent of voters supporting Obama, and voters in Goshen, Lincoln and Middlebury all backed the winning Democratic ticket at a rate of roughly 81 percent.
BRISTOL — Autumn Harp Inc., the largest private employer in Bristol, announced Wednesday that the company is folding its Bristol operations into its Essex facility.
The 30-year-old manufacturer of cosmetics and personal care products employs 160 full-time employees at its Bristol facility and 40 in Essex. All of the company's Bristol-based employees will be offered the chance to work in Essex, and the company intends to offer transportation for the 30-mile commute between Bristol and Essex.
Clippings article published Oct. 23, 2008
Let's talk about editorials and this newspaper's perspective over the past eight years.
Since 2000, this editor has been roundly criticized — and applauded — by readers reacting to editorials on the national or international scene. Many of those editorials have been about the elections with George W., about the invasion of Iraq, the economy, and what I have considered to be the misguided policies of the Bush administration.
Contrary to some publications, editorials are written with the premise of the piece clearly stated and one side of the issue boldly supported. Very few editorials are middle-of-the-road essays that point out both sides of the issue and let the reader decide which group of facts has the most validity. Picking one side of the issue and defending that point of view is precisely what editorials should do. And, yes, that means the editorials are biased. Of course they are. They reflect my research and my point of view. That doesn't mean, however, they are not supported by facts or credible evidence that counters an opposing agenda.
But why write about those issues when that's the purview of national publications, some critics ask, then suggest we write solely about local and state issues.
It's a good point, and frankly, I would do my job better if I made it a priority to always include a local editorial to accompany any editorial on the world or national scene. Two shorter editorials would almost always be preferable.
But when the issues get mixed up with people's emotional framework, rational discussion often falls by the wayside and partisan politics enters the fray. The strategic reasons for invading Iraq or not, for example, get lost within the emotional context of patriotism, God and country, and supporting the troops.
"Never in living memory has an election been more critical than (this) — that's the quadrennial cliché, as expected as the balloons and the bombast. And yet when has it ever felt so urgently true? When have so many Americans had so clear a sense that a presidency has — at levels of competence, vision and integrity — undermined the country and its ideals?"
That was the opening paragraph of The New Yorker's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama for president on Oct. 13. It continued: "The Presidency of George W. Bush is the worst since Reconstruction, so there is no mystery about why the Republican Party — which has held dominion over the executive branch of the federal government for the past eight years and the legislative branch for most that time — has little desire to defend its record, domestic or foreign … Meanwhile, the nominee, Sen. John McCain, (has) played the part of a vaudeville illusionist, asking to be regarded as an apostle of change after years of embracing the essentials of the Bush agenda with ever-increasing ardor."
That this presidential election is the most critical of our times is a debate for historians decades hence, but certainly a record 93 percent of the American populace, according to recent polls, say we are going in the wrong direction. And certainly these two major party candidates offer stark differences in style and in the policies they would pursue.
It is no surprise to readers of this paper that we enthusiastically endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president. We are impressed with his coolness under fire; his thoughtful and deliberate approach when addressing difficult issues; his skills as a campaigner, organizer and director of a massive undertaking these past 18 months that delivered a consistent message of hope that has inspired tens of millions of supporters. And he has done it with honor, integrity and clarity of purpose.
Eleven days from now, I expect to cast my vote for Barack Obama for President of the United States for these reasons:

Atheist hypocrisy
Atheists and agnostics are frequently accused of hypocrisy. Most of the time, these accusations arise due to misconceptions about what an atheist is, and why an atheist does what he or she does. If used to divert criticism, they are examples of ad hominim tu quoque
Example Accusations[edit]
- "You atheists bash on Christians for having faith, but you have faith too!"
- "You atheists bash on Christians for proselytizing, but you do it too!"
- "Atheists complain about religions so much, but they act just like them."
- "Atheists whine about religions cramming their beliefs down everyone else's throats, but they do it too."
- "You atheists bash on fundamentalism, but you are fundamentalists!"
Like any group of people, a certain percentage of them are going to be hypocrites, and atheists are no exception. The aforementioned strawman arguments are generally invalid for one or more reasons.
