This entry was written by AkityMH, who you can find at https://www.deviantart.com/akitymh. I may have made a few touch ups and notes here and there, but the bulk of this entry is their work!
In the year 1974, world known writer Peter Benchley wrote a book and probably was the very first book that had a killer shark as its monster. As far as I can do quick referencing on, this is the very first shark based piece of media in terms of a horror film or book. No one could have guessed the juggernaut that was to come in decades prior to our own that idolizes the sheer majesty of what is popularly known as the world’s most perfect predators that have been around since long before dinosaurs, or even the ancestors of dinosaurs for that matter.
About a year later the movie adaptation hit the silver screen, and forever more changed the world. Like, literally, the movie sparked a huge hype for shark fishing and culling. The movie was very convincing and made everyone afraid to take a bath in their own house, but it’s that same imagination that strikes primal fear into the heart of man to which gave rise to many, many, many, many…. I would dare think there is close to a hundred shark based movies alone.
As time went on, shark education rocketed the animals into a much better position. However, the idea of a fin breaking the water surface forever remained a unchanged image our our minds.
Ever since the movie jaws, Shark based media has utterly exploded into a proverbial supernova of colors from good, to mediocre, to just plain bad, to a celebration of just how bad a shark movie can be. It’s a spectacular mess… Shark movies are about as numerous as the sharks in the ocean as we near the end of the late twenty-teens.
But in the last fear of 2018 and a slew of horrible, horrible shark movies, a legit decent movie came out of a very good shark horror novel at long last. The Meg.
But now, symbolically, let’s step back many, many years when the shark movie formula was still primitive and new, hosting a serious fear before we got some outrageous movies. For the movie in story, it’s been well over a three MYA or so, if not a only a few hundred thousand years… for us in real life, it’s been two decades. The Meg is the movie adaptation of the Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, written by writer Steve Alten and was about the first book I actually picked up and actually read back in 5th grade. Back then, shark based horror was still a bit sparse, so it really stood out among other novels. Too my knowledge, it was also the first book and the very first story that took the prehistoric monster shark known as Carcharodon megalodon and made it a starring monster for horror movies to come for better… or most likely worse.
Since then, there have been an absolute ton Megalodon movies. By this point in 2018, Megalodon movies are pretty well known alongside the shark itself.With the rising popularity of what seemed like an actual monstrous sized shark, more and more movies began to use the extinct species for their plot points of a runaway beast that still lives even after it’s time has long gone. Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, probably started that.
Let’s get a brief overview of the story though, back where this all began with this particular species of now very well known shark species.
The story goes that some odd years ago in the first book, the man known as Jonas Taylor was on a dive in the Marianas Trench on a top secret mission on behalf of the United States Navy.. While down there, he sees a mysterious and horrifying sight of a massive shark of glowing alabaster emerging from the volcanic clouds of deep sea vents to attack the mini sub. In a panic, Jonas rises the submarine faster than it should, resulting in deaths of everyone in the submersible besides himself.. When he recites his story and reason to those on the surface, Jonas is discredited and thought to have suffered a paranoid based delusion, and his career as a deep sea diver is ruined forever, as well as leaving him with some trauma.
We cut to years later and he is speaking aloud to a crowd about his theories how a long extinct species of shark may still yet be living at the deepest trench on the planet by source of the volcanic vents creating a tropical, sunless environment that is rich enough to support a small population of these sharks in this deep trench.
Now something about this book and the books following… there is a heavy mix of Science Fiction and Horror. Less horror as the series actually goes on, but the first one is a ringer and the horror element is strong. Horror would preside in every book though by some regard.
Now as you could probably guess, Jonas is dragged back one day to the Marianas Trench on behalf of a friend no less. His task is to dive down and check a Seismic Detecting Device to help predict earthquakes by the named if UNIS. One such machine was damaged, and not only just, but also crushed into a mangled heap of machinery.
After coaxing and thinking about it, he goes down to help retrieve the device and face past demons. Thus begins a long, bloody and horrible series of events that ends up forever haunting him and his family and friends for the next couple of decades.
Now I will say this… If you seen any shark based media, you seen a lot of this. In fact, this book is not far off from the movie Jaws in many ways. There is a shark, albeit a massive near sixty foot long female, running amok in the Pacific Ocean, and there is a race to either kill or capture it.
What sets it apart though from movies like Jaws and the Megalodon based movies to come out of Hollywood’s discount downtown area is that the sharks and characters of this particular book and its sequels have more personality. More so the shark than the humans, because other shark movies have given us decent, good human characters prior.
No, it is the sharks of these books that make this series stand tall among many others. I can promise that nearly any other Megalodon movie, or any shark movie, will use its killer creature just to tally up bodies and have no real character other than a brainless, thoughtless, unrealistic killing machine. To an extent, that holds true here, but there is so much more to the Megalodon that escapes the Marianas Trench than a killing machine.
They have evolved to new heights. As a result of living in a deep sea, sunless environment, their bodies now are leucistic, all white and glow faintly to attract prey in the depths. They can sense various things from miles and miles away, hundreds even if it’s another shark or a whale. They retain their size of course, and their immense jaw strength. Their bodies have slowed down to compensate for a lack of prey. As a result, rising to warm, prey rich waters full of blubbery whales sets off our prehistoric beast into a frenzy. Relentlessly it chases whale pods, making many whales run to shallow waters and beaching themselves in a panic. Boats of all sizes are attacked and sunk, people die as a result of this.
And it just gets worse. People run in with all sorts of ways to try and capture or kill our runaway monster, and as a result more people die yet. Everything we known about sharks in real life is applied to these sharks in one powerful package.
And that is a common theme that is present in all of these books. Its very much like a Kaiju flick, a well done japanese giant monster movie. These creatures are insanely violent, and very efficient in surviving and hunting what they are supposed to hunt. They are not entirely to blame. They are not evil. It is when mankind dove into their last bastion of on all of Earth and drawn them out into a world they don’t belong in anymore. Almost every bit of damage that is done is when people were just in the way of something too big and too aggressive, and should have known better.
That’s something that the lead character, Jonas, learns first hand.
That reasoning somewhat gets shot in the foot in later entries, and many other parties in the book just want the sharks dead from the start or want to benefit from them. This series of books may have Kaiju story formula, but the rest has a strong western angle. Few actually just wish the sharks were never discovered or returned home.
The character Jonas, through the books series, has a lot of development too. I’m not too good at articulating, and it has been some time since I read the books, so I can’t say too much other than Jonas learns quickly things should be a certain way. Either the sharks shouldn’t be drawn from the trench, or at the very least contained as in several cases the main characters do exactly that: contain the sharks in massive aquariums.
Such as that of Angel, our main star of sorts of the series who has a name and has most screen time.
Yeah, for this entry to be about one individual shark, I sure haven’t talked about her, have I? It’s hard to talk about such a prominent character, though, when that character is literally only named at the start of the second book. That’s because everything Angel does is more or less what her mother did, the Meg in the first book, but would go on to be even more than her parent.
Angel raises the stakes of these sharks tremendously. As a result of being born at the surface of the ocean near California and raised on a steady diet in captivity, she becomes a healthy adult at nearly eighty feet in length, exceeding any previous estimations of just how large these sharks could become.
It is from Angel that we get most of our information of just how powerful, smart and well adapted our monster of the books really are. She is trained well to an acoustic system at feeding time, recognizes humans, and is known to watch people through the glass intently as she passes by the underground observation room.
Angel is so driven, so damn strong, that she naturally breaks out from her seaside home in California and begins making a mad dash for home at the Marianas Trench and causing havoc along the way for mankind and anything she can hunt down. Once more, and much to the fear of those concerned for the environment, hundreds of whales beach themselves trying to flee from their long forgotten predator. It’s even suggested that one Megalodon, or the return of the species, could radically change whale migrations as a whole and change the ocean’s ecosystems.
That’s how serious just one or few sharks is. As the series go on, other sharks do appear either as a mate, one of Angels offspring, or as we learn later, the sharks ability to reproduce without mating at all via parthenogenesis. They will even devour each other without so much as blinking an eye.
The series really takes the whole “sharks are nature’s perfect creatures” to the extreme. They ain’t even afraid to inbreed and form social groups as we see later on depending on their situation. This, again, works for the hellish, harsh world that is the Marianas Trench, alongside some other prehistoric surprises… But in the world where the ocean is frequented by mankind, is another story of a creature of a bygone era lost in time.
Never once do these sharks seek out humans specifically. They don’t go for revenge, or plot… They just survive as best they can in a world that demanded one to adapt or die. And adapt they did.
As a whole, though, it seems the consequences are made specifically for humanity. As these sharks can reproduce on their own, outmatch anything humans generally throw at them, and threaten to make a new balance that makes traversing the ocean much more dangerous than it ever needs to be. Either by, again, going to look for the sharks, near their prey, or any place they call home. They are best to be left alone in their natural environment.
As the books go on though, these themes falter slightly, but it retains that fault of people are invading into places they don’t need to be as as result there are consequences. The characters, namely Jonas and his family, go from being part of the problem, to cutting off the problem, to being haunted and forced back into the same problem, right until Jonas himself and his family are aging and a new generation of Man and Sharks are starting the cycle all over again as slowly but surely, these sharks are starting to return one at a time to the Pacific Ocean with a new set of people that may or may not be doomed to repeat the mistakes of trifling with forces that they should not deal with.
Yeah, the books are… getting up there with numbers and getting dragged out… But I will let possible readers of this article make the decision or not to read the series. There is a good horror story with the first book, and even the second.
Behind some squicky stuff and a bit of bad writing, there’s good stuff, even when those flaws keep returning with the blunt force of a bat to the head. Even Godzilla movies went on a bit longer until things ran thin. Even the later books are kinda stupid fun like some of the worse giant monster movies, and are even complete with giant monster fights as Angel and her species has a slew of many contemporaries.
Angel would be the star and face of the series, being our main Maid Monster of Honor, and would be up front as the books monster through three books and would remain named for ones after. And even though her stardom comes and goes, other leviathans come to fill the role who are stronger, smarter, and cooperate at a terrifying level that makes them a deadlier.
And as of this year, the six book is released and a seventh is on the way. To top it off, Steve Alten’s other writing of The Loch, a very similar story, attached itself to this series. I could easily go on about that one and its sequel as well… but I would ramble and be a salty writer on that subject.
So there it is. A decent, good shark book and its sequels that deserves to be well known by all at the least. Much like a few good few horror movies, the continuation skews off the beaten path, but what good story hasn’t had its rainy day in the end…
Editor’s Note: Well it’s taken a while, but we finally have a giant shark in the ICHF gallery.

1941 was a tough year for the ballclub. They fell under heavy expectations and didn't fulfill them. They would still make the playoffs but at 71-68, they barely reached a level of consitancy. Lew Kensecki (14 2B, .320), Al Signaigo (20 2B, .313), Bill Sodd (25 2B, .310) and a returning Johnny Lazor (25 2B, .290) were the best in the box while future Philadelphia A's pitcher Lew Krausse (15-9, 2.89) was the ace on the mound. Future Red Sox' Randy Heflin (10-6, 2.40), Peter Blumette (10-3, 3.38) and future Red Sox' Joe Wood (6-2, 1.80) held up the back end of the rotation. Consistancy may have been what the Red Sox were lacking but by 1942, that was their middle name. Marvin Ulrich returned to go 15-7 (3.13), future Phillies' Eli Hodkey was 15-8 (1.96) and future 10 year MLB veteran Fritz Dorish was 12-8 with a 2.07 ERA. Butch Nieman batted only .206 but his 9 HRs were the most ever for the Scranton Red Sox. Together this team made a great run for the pennant, making the playoffs with a best yet record of 83-57, this time taking over the Championship of the Eastern League and finally bringing the title home for the first time to their new Scranton Dunmore Stadium.

Creativity As Human Experience
Creativity. I’ve been having a lot of issues with it lately. Not because I’ve lost it—can you ever actually lose something that lives so deep inside your soul?—but because I’ve been trying to establish a better communication with it. And this has turned out to be a lot more challenging than I’ve ever thought.
Believe it or not, the fact that I’m not a designer—and yes, you can study fashion and not be even close to becoming a designer—doesn’t mean I don’t need creativity in my life. In a way, I believe we all need it and manifest it somehow in whatever it is that we do, but in my particular case I need it because I’m a scholar. Being a scholar, more than teaching or “being an expert in your field” (whatever that means), requires you to be able to absorb a huge quantity of ideas, and form your own out of all this input of information you are feeding your brain with. Believe it or not, this requires an immense amount of creativity. And doing it well is a sort of art.
As I’m struggling to write a thesis, to complete classes and their corresponding coursework, and at the same time enjoy every single moment of it without worrying too much about the future—which might include job/Ph.D. applications and the scary responsibility of having to become a real person at some point—I’ve also come to realise I’ve been struggling to find a balance in my creativity. I’ve been struggling to find a point where I can create because I must and I can create because I feel like it, without doing too much or too little of any of them. And I’ve also been struggling to find a balance between the different forms of creative output that I normally enjoy.
I know I was the one who chose to get into this Master’s degree, so even the creative process I say I have to go through was my choice, but it is still a lot more restrained and, to an extent, less optional than the freeform creation of whatever goes on, for example, in this blog. And in terms of the form of my creativity, I’ve been focusing a little too much on writing/reading, but I’ve come to miss other forms of creativity I normally enjoy, photography and drawing being the first on the list. But, somehow, whenever I have some free time to actually engage in them, I tend to consciously avoid them and, instead, engage in a less physical form of creativity that allows my mind to do all the work without having to actually move—like seeing films, art, or listening to real music.
I’ve blamed myself more than once of being lazy for not wanting to go out and take pictures, or cook a really nice meal, or sit down and draw, but now I’ve come to realise this doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped being creative. I’ve come to understand, finally, that creativity, and the creation of pretty much everything—from artwork to actual objects—can happen completely inside the imagination, without ever having to be physically embodied. And this is something that I am completely grateful for.
But I’m still struggling for balance. I guess finding it would include being able to embody part of my creativity and live part of it completely inside my mind. And it would include being able to explore different creative outputs in relation to what my body and my mind need in specific moments.
This last part, I believe, is key to creativity. But it is something we’ve all come, somehow, to ignore almost completely. Creativity is not about others; it’s not about producing an output for others to see or feel or enjoy. Creativity is something we must do for ourselves and to enlighten our own path towards happiness, human experience and, in general, life.
One of my classmates mentioned yesterday that none of the fashion designers of today are true artists, precisely because they can’t fully engage with their personal process of creativity. To most fashion designers, creativity has become the process that requires, as the main outcome, a product that is accepted by the industry and by the public; it requires something—usually some type of garment or concept—that others like, that others want. And although I wouldn’t go as far as to assume every fashion designer in the world goes through the creative process in this way, I do think it is what they are taught to do. And that’s why fashion isn’t so great anymore.
But there are some trying to rescue fashion from darkness and bring it back to greatness. Some that are trying to restore fashion as the collective process it is, as a way of restoring human connections through clothing and our embodied experience. Some that are reviving a truthful process of creativity, where our human experience, our feelings and emotions, together with our natural, physical needs, are brought together into a single fashionable experience. And here, I believe, is were the future of fashion lies. Not in being able to massively produce clothes, in the ability to become the most fashionable individual, or in the incessant acceleration of the flux of trends; but in experiencing creativity as a true process of knowing ourselves, of becoming better humans, and of slowing down and actually living life.

Nissan rumours and reality
There have been rumours in recent days suggesting that Nissan may want to invest in Formula 1 in the near future. There is some logic in the idea if Nissan could acquire an F1 franchise - although these are few and far between. The only logical one available is if Prodrive cannot get its act together. That is not very likely given, if faced by a Nissan proposal, David Richards would try to negotiate a deal for his company rather than simply sell and run. The other option would be to try to persuade everyone to increase the number of cars on the grid - and it is hard to see that happening as it would mean all kind of fights over prize money.
If a franchise could be found, the logic would be for a Nissan team to be a Renault B team as this would cut out the need to spend years investing and developing and would give the best value for money, something which Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn is famed for chasing.
The problem with this idea is that Renault would have to overcome internal doubts about the idea as the Renault F1 engineers would advise against such a situation as it could affect the team's performance. It is not impossible but it would be a risk.
The option would be for a branding switch to Renault but this makes little sense as Renault still wants to benefit from its F1 involvement
The concept of putting Alain Prost in charge is a nice idea but his reputation as a team leader took a serious hit when his own team collapsed with huge debts in 2000 and it is hard to imagine him making any form of F1 comeback.
Nissan could do an in-house project - there is plenty of serious sporting technology already available from Nismo - but that goes back to the problem of the franchise. Who is going to sell?

A second lawsuit has been filed against Governor Tom Wolf, demanding he reinstate Erik Arneson as Executive Director of the Office of Open Records.
Pennsylvanians For Union Reform, filed the suit in Commonwealth Court on Friday. It’s seeking an injunction to prevent the office from ruling until Arneson is back at the head of the agency.
Arenson was appointed the job by former Governor Tom Corbett less than two weeks before Wolf’s inauguration. This lawsuit was the second filed in connection with Arneson’s firing.
On January 26th, Senate Republicans and Arneson also filed suit against Wolf, saying he does not have the authority to remove him from the position. A hearing in that case is scheduled for Wednesday.


Since at least 2010, the European Commission has been in possession of concrete evidence that automobile manufacturers were cheating on emissions values of diesel vehicles, according to a number of internal documents that SPIEGEL ONLINE has obtained. The papers show that emissions cheating had been under discussion for years both within the Commission and the EU member state governments. The documents also show that the German government was informed of a 2012 meeting on the issue. The scandal first hit the headlines in 2015 when it became known that Volkswagen had manipulated the emissions of its diesel vehicles.
The bureaucrats, unfortunately, are unaccountable. How can their subjects vote them out or sack them? There was a real problem:
Back [in the mid-2000s], European Commission experts noticed an odd phenomenon: Air quality in European cities was improving much more slowly than was to be expected in light of stricter emissions regulations.
A reader chimes in: In contrast to the EU, the government of the US took action to protect the people: “On 18 September 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice of violation.”


Mumbai, Jul 7 (IANS): Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday ordered the appointment of a nodal officer who can coordinate with the Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Indian Railways especially during the monsoon.
He called upon the Railways - the Central Railway, Western Railway and Mumbai Metro - to remain vigilant and coordinate with the BMC to ensure that train services do not break down during heavy rain in the city.
Saying that commuters should not be inconvenienced in case of torrential rain, Shinde asked the Railways to seek help from BEST, the local state transport service, while taking an overview of the monsoon situation in the state.
The CM also asked for sufficient information on the rainfall status to be relayed to the people for which various agencies should appoint liaison officers or coordinators.
"Deploy the officers to go and work in the field. The situation can be better managed if the officers work in actual ground conditions," Shinde said.
Recalling deaths on bad roads during monsoon in Mumbai and other cities, he called upon the civic administration to fill up all the potholes carefully with cold-mix methods to avoid casualties.
The BMC must monitor the flood situation and take care that lives are not lost in the flood-prone areas, and the administration should be prepared to shift the affected people to safer locations in time.
In areas facing the risk of landslides or hillslides, the CM said the local people must be urged to remain cautious, be prepared to move them and in case they are shifted to safer locations, suitable arrangements for their accommodation and meals should be made.
The CM's proposal is considered important as in the past, during monsoon tragedies, various central, state and civic departments have pointed fingers at each other.
Since Monday evening, Mumbai, the coastal Konkan region and other districts of the state have been lashed by heavy rain, with many towns inundated disrupting normal life even as the IMD has issued Orange and Red Alerts for several districts till Friday.

Ratings for Dr. Tom Kerlow
Dr. Kerlow delivered my son 21 years ago, and has been our family doctor ever since. We moved out of the GTA when my son was 8 years old. I trust Dr. Kerlow, I will not change until Dr. Kerlow retires. When ever that may be. He does not hesitate to send for testing or specialist should it be required. His bedside manner is great. His staff are knowledgeable and usually friendly, but extremely busy, therefore come across as unfriendly on occasions; things do seem better over the past few years in this regard though.
Dr. Kerlow has been our family doctor for more than 15 years now. He also delivered my daughter. He is awesome, one of the best out there and he continuous to show personal care to us and I'm sure to all his patients. For as long as he is in the profession, we will continue to seek his medical help.
His downstairs ultrasound tech Amy was very unprofessional. I arrived at 2:30 pm for shoulder ultrasound but she refused to do it rather chatting with othe staff at the front. She also doesn't understand or speak English well. Very disappointed.
I travel an average of 45-60mins to see Dr. Kerlow because I have never found another doctor to be as professional, as caring and as patient. Dr. Kerlow shows genuine concern and is very thorough. I've been seeing him for approximately 12 yrs and hope to see him for many more. If I didn't live so far away, he would be my 2 yr old's doctor as well. I have always found the staff to be rude and impatient with me over the phone, but the past few months I've noticed a change. In the end I'm not there to see the staff. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kerlow.
I have had Dr. Kerlow for the past 14 years and he is the best Doctor I have ever seen. Dr. Kerlow is a very kind, understanding and knowledgeable doctor. If you are lucky enough to get him as your family doctor then you need not look anywhere else. Dr. Kerlow was the only doctor that would really listen to my issues and discovered I had cervical cancer. If I hadn't decided to go to him instead of my specialist then I would still be undiagnosed.

Dear Bret Baier,
Here’s the tip-off. Eric Hananoki, that tweeting weisel over at Media Matters, is already plotting to break into your seriously kick-ass Twitter trivia contest on Monday afternoon.
Last week the research fellow joined in on the G-rated fun, won your contest about a toad and watched in slow motion horror as you awarded his prize to someone else – a clearly better someone who doesn’t work at Media Matters. He tagged on a pointed question about your FNC colleague Bill Sammon, a disgusting move for a research fellow taking time away from his afternoon ping pong game to participate in your trivia. Now you’ve blocked him on Twitter — a pivotal act as you take your game to the next level: Actual frogs. News of you blocking him shattered the concrete walls at Media Matters just before lunch today.
Good thought — ruin those monsters’ lunches. We don’t blame you.
But here’s the thing: He’s technologically savvy, rabid and liberal. He thinks your trivia contest should be open to all and wants back in. He also has the audacity to still want your prizes — Fox News ties and such — which would get him stuffed into a closet if he wore the neckwear to work. “I would still trade the prize of an FNC tie – value $15.95 — for Baier’s reaction to Bill Sammon’s recent admission,” he told FishbowlDC. Hananoki then went into a long-winded explanation of what Sammon said. It was a long sentence that could make a person choke, something ridiculous about Sammon saying he pushed some “mischievous speculation” about POTUS that he found rather “far-fetched.”
In goody two shoes fashion, he said NBC “Meet the Press” Executive Producer Betsy Fischer gave him a mug when he won her trivia contest. “Though to be fair, I didn’t pair it with any questions,” he reasoned.
Here’s what we say to you Baier. F&@k fair. Don’t let him back in. We’ve enclosed his mug above so you can be on the lookout.

Open to Provincial Region, Patient partners across the province
Have you helped a family member or friend access residential care services in British Columbia? If so, the Ministry of Health would like your assistance to better understand the challenges and successes of the current access policy.
Open to: Patient partners across the province
Lead Organization or DepartmentMinistry of Health, Home and Community Care
AimThe Home and Community Care program provides services to adults of all ages who require full-time care and assistance in a residential facility. The aim of the initiative is to review BC’s policy on access to those services. The inclusion of patient partners in the working group supporting this review will ensure that the review is comprehensive and that improvements align with the goals and needs of clients seeking to access residential care. The working group will look to the patient partners to draw upon their lived experiences to ensure that the perspective of service-users is included in discussions and informs the review.
Level of EngagementThis opportunity is at the level of consult on the spectrum of engagement (www.iap2.org). The promise to you is that the health care partner will listen to and acknowledge your ideas and concerns, and provide feedback on how your input affected the decision.
- Experience supporting a family member or friend to access residential care services in BC.
- Comfortable sharing lived experiences related to residential care services, as well as helping the working group (of approximately 10 to 15 people) to understand how decisions might impact patients and the public.
- Interest in public policy and appreciation of opposing views.
- If you have a strong interest in this work but have not yet completed a PVN orientation and Volunteer Agreement, are unsure if your experience is a good fit or feel another format of engagement would work better with your availability, please contact Leah Smith directly.
- Vacancies: 2
- Date and time: Working group meetings will occur every two weeks, for two hours. Meetings will be held during normal business hours. Ideally, the patient partner will join the working group by July 2017.
- Location: Teleconference. Patient partners in the Victoria area will have the option to join Ministry of Health participants in-person.
- Commitment: This is a time-limited project which is anticipated to last until December 2017. Meeting materials will be provided in advance of each meeting and will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to review.
- Note: Patient partners may be invited to participate in an informal interview and sign a project-specific confidentiality agreement as part of the placement process for this opportunity.
ReimbursementNo expenses are anticipated for this opportunity.
BackgroundIn BC, anyone can access publicly-subsidized residential care services regardless of income, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Home and Community Care Policy Manual. All clients are assessed by a health authority professional to determine their care needs. If they are found eligible, they are offered a bed in a facility based on a number of criteria. Health authorities try to accommodate individual needs and move clients into a facility that is their first choice. However, as the goal is to find a residential care facility that meets the care needs of the person at risk as quickly as possible, sometimes the person is not placed in the facility that is their first choice. In these situations, health authorities facilitate a transfer to the preferred facility at a later date. This working group will review BC’s policy on accessing residential care and how the policy is implemented by each of the province’s health authorities. The residential care experts on the working group will include representatives from the Ministry of Health, health authorities, and residential care facilities. The intent of the policy review is to understand access from a comprehensive perspective and identify possible opportunities for improvements.

Neurological soft signs in schizophrenia have been widely discussed, and have been of great interest to many psychiatrists and neuroscientists. Clinical gender differences have been widely detected in schizophrenia, and soft sign studies might help us relate these clinical differences to neurological abnormalities. Our aim was to look for gender differences in “developmental reflexes” soft signs in schizophrenia.
Fifty patients with schizophrenia and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. The Neurological Evaluation Scale was used in order to assess for all soft signs in normal subjects and in schizophrenia patients.
Schizophrenia subjects scored significantly higher than normal subjects in terms of the total NSS score. Male schizophrenia subjects scored significantly higher than female schizophrenia subjects in terms of the glabellar reflex score, and total NSS score of all soft signs.
Gender differences in the glabellar reflex might suggest differences in the etiology of the illness between the genders. We think that these differences might involve the basal ganglia. Future studies involving larger samples might confirm these differences.

What a tragedy for the Yusof family. It is really sad. Malaysia has a rather tenuous connection to Sufiah Yusof. After she was reported to have gained admission to Oxford, the Malaysian government fell over backwards to offer her a scholarship just because her mother was Malaysian. I believe that she wasn’t even Malaysian and her father was Pakistani. Whereas the other child prodigy at that time, Chiang Ti-Ming, was completely ignored by the Malaysian government. Full story here. Incidentally, Chiang’s story did not have a happy ending too.

Math prodigy now a £130 hooker claim
PETALING JAYA: Sufiah Yusof, the child Maths genius who won a place at Oxford University when she was just 13, has been found to be working as a prostitute, according to a report in London’s News of the World.
Sufiah, now 23, whose father Farooq is a Pakistani and mother Halimathon is from Johor, was reported to have entertained an undercover reporter in her flat in Manchester.
Claiming that she had posted her services for £130 (RM829) on the Internet, the newspaper said she had called herself Shilpa Lee on a hookers’ website. She is said to have advertised herself as “a sexy, smart student” who preferred “older gentlemen”.
Better times: File pic of Farooq with Sufiah when she was Oxford-bound.
The story in the newspaper comes just days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in Maths.
Sufiah passed the Maths A-Level she needed for entry into Oxford at the age of 12.
Three years into Oxford, she sparked a massive police hunt after running away.
Whatever one can justifiably say about Singapore – Disneyland with a death penalty, soul-less place, cultural dessert, repressive country etc – at least they got their research agenda of their universities right. Another big boost for the research sector in the country.
Top scientists to lead research
TWO leading international scientists have been roped in to head key organisations being set up here to study cancer and earthquakes.
The cancer facility at the National University of Singapore (NUS) will be headed by Prof Daniel Tenen of the Harvard Medical School, a world leader in cancer research.
The earthquake centre at Nanyang Technological University will be helmed by California Institute of Technology geologist Kerry Sieh.

Former Lord President dwells on the judiciary crisis of 1988
By CHELSEA L.Y. NG
FORMER Lord President Tun Salleh Abas is the embodiment of modesty. After making headlines when he was sacked from the judicial system in 1988, he has moved on to new chapters of his life.
For years now, he has drawn great satisfaction in literally eating the fruits of his labour. The 79-year-old spends a great deal of his time toiling in his dusun (fruit orchard) in Besut while at the same time keeping abreast of developments outside the plantation.
Tun Salleh: ‘I hardly practise nowadays. I am a farmer now’
“I hardly practise nowadays. I am a farmer now,” Salleh said in between chuckles.
“I have bananas, dukongs, durians in my dusun. Can’t really make money because the fertilisers are expensive. But it’s rewarding to eat the fruits you plant yourself. Do drop by during the fruit season in July and August,” said the tanned and be-spectacled former top judge.
I think Pak Lah is a disaster as much as everyone else. But Dr. M is a real joke. Dr. M is now saying UMNO should abolish the 30 % nomination rule that Dr. M enacted in the aftermath of Ku Li’s challenge.
What a hoot! How shameless and thick skinned can you get! What’s sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. Isn’t it delicious how one’s actions have a way of coming back to bite one in the ass. That’s called karma baby.

Mahathir: Election provision being abused to prevent opposition to leaders
KUALA LUMPUR: The nomination quota to contest top posts in Umno should be abolished, as it is being abused to prevent members from nominating candidates, said former party president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He pointed out that when he was president, anyone was free to challenge him, and although there was already the quota in place then, “those days it was easy to get 60 divisions (nominations)”.
However, he added, when Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah wanted to challenge Umno president and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in 2004, he only managed to get one nomination from his own division.
Mrs. T and I went shopping for shoes and nuts today at Bugis. After my usual coffee at Hup Cheong and bean curd with gingko nuts at Bukit Timah Food Centre, we went to Bugis to hunt for a pair of black shoes from Charles and Keith for Mrs. T. We got what Mrs. T wanted and then went hunting for nuts at the famous Fu Lu Shou Complex. The place was on top of a hawker centre near OG. It reminded me of Hong Kong. Anyway, the place sold lots of dried goods and also nuts. It wasn’t very hygienic – but the prices were good and certainly cheaper than NTUC. I will probably toast the nuts in the oven before I eat them. I bought lots of walnuts, cashews, peanuts and almonds. Hopefully, my stash will last me at least 3 months.
I decided to go to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve this evening with Mrs. T. Took an off the main road trek (Catchment Path) to Summit Hut. Didn’t manage to take the Dairy Farm Loop though. Anyway, it was getting dark and the I didn’t fancy being stuck at night in a secondary jungle. All in all it was a pretty good trek.
Mrs. T and I went to Sweet Salty Spicy at Rail Mall for dinner. The restaurant was very stylish from the outside. Nice beautiful mural of orchids on the walls, black slate floor, wooden tables and a lot of glass like a posh Italian deli. We ordered the sharing platter, pad thai and green mango salad. Unfortunately, the food did not match the very nice ambience. The pad thai was so salty it made my hair stand – it’s a mistake to put in salty chunky dried shrimps (hae bi) and sweet chai por in the pad thai. The sharing platter was also not too great – the soft shell crab was passable, the crispy crackers with chicken curry were not very nice (crackers weren’t as crispy as the ones in Patara and the chicken curry dip was too salty) and the pomelo on betel nut was all wrong (the blend of saltiness, chilli, sweetness and spice was not done well). The mango salad was also pretty weird. It had salmon flakes and was not sour, sweet or hot enough. We paid close to 60 bucks for two. Mrs. T said we would never come back again. I bet the chef is not Thai. No self respecting Thais will serve food like that. Maybe I have been too spoiled by the wonderful Thai food at Thai Noodle House at Coronation or the Thai Cze Char place at Beauty World Hawker Centre.
A lot of people forget, it was Dr. Mahathir who destroyed the Malaysian judiciary. He was always arrogantly saying that we should hang all the lawyers first. Look where this attitude has gotten the state of the Malaysian judiciary. The VK Lingam/Eusoff Chin fiasco can be traced to Dr. Mahathir’s reckless actions. Karpal Singh is certainly right to hold Dr. M accountable.
PETALING JAYA: Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh has asked former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whether he would be prepared to tender an unqualified and unconditional apology to former judges Tun Salleh Abas, Datuk George Seah and the late Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh.
In an open letter to Dr Mahathir, Karpal Singh said, in his view, it was Dr Mahathir who had single-handedly destroyed the judiciary which has yet to regain its equilibrium after the 1988 crisis.
He said if there was no response within a week, he would raise the matter when Parliament sat next month.
“It is my view that you abused the provisions of Article 125(3) of the Federal Constitution leading to the setting up of the two tribunals which found the three judges guilty of misconduct,” Karpal Singh said in the letter.
“These three judges were unfairly removed from office.
“It is not the present Government which should apologise, but you (Dr Mahathir) yourself personally.
“The necessity for you to apologise cries to high heaven. Your acts caused the judges concerned and their families untold pain and suffering.”
Karpal Singh added that it was the least Dr Mahathir could do to atone for what transpired 20 years ago.
Had a simple dinner with Mrs. T at Forture Seafood at Bukit Timah. Mrs. T had fish slice noodles soup and I had Hong Kong Mee.
Still feeling the effects of Bodyweight 500 which I did yesterday. My time is not improving. Finished it in 51 minutes 37 seconds. The afternoon heat sapped all my energy and I could barely complete the workout. Wonder whether I can ever complete it in under 40 minutes.
Love the story about the Buddhist dog below.
NAHA, Japan (AFP) – – Buddhists clasp their palms together to pray for enlightenment, but Conan, a chihuahua, appears to have more worldly motivations.
The dog has become a popular attraction at a Japanese temple after learning to imitate the worshippers around him.
I went to a charming cafe at Jalan Jurong Kechil called Soup and Satay which only recently opened. The satay was quite delicious – very nicely spiced with lemon grass, beautifully basted, moist and glistening. Mrs. T ordered the fish and chips which turned out to be ordinary. I had the mee soto which was quite yummy – the soup was peppery and not oily at all. The mee soto here is better than the famous Inspirasi mee soto in Bedok. Surprisingly, the best dish turned out to be the tauhu goreng – the spicy peanut sauce was the best I ever eaten.
Overall, a very good find. I would definitely go back to Soup and Satay.

Only about 3 weeks into owning my Glowforge and I am learning a lot!! I made a Father’s Day gift for Papa. Didn’t come out well, so I kept working. Used GIMP to manipulate Carly’s face because she is a black dog. The eyes were hard because of light in the photo. I didn’t give up. I am so excited with my finished project! I am also new to all of these very fancy programs such as GIMP and INKSCAPE. I am learning those too. 20200627_185732|375x500
That turned out great. You’re well on your way.
Thank you. I am really excited.
Dark colored dogs are the hardest ones to do because you loose all the detail, but yours looks fantastic.
I wanted to make something for a friend who has a black cat with a white smudge across its face.
I’ve been editing images for about 25yrs. I gave up after several weeks trying.
*caveat - I was limited to a few crappy cell-phone indoor low-light pics. If I could get a decent pic, I’m sure I could make it work.
That came out really well! Good job finessing the image! Isn’t it fun to learn new things, and to have such great tangible evidence of your progress?!?
Thanks. I worked hard.
I worked with the picture that was texted to me. lol I was determined to make it work. I made little adjustments and kept working till I got to what I wanted it to look like.
Thanks. I keep reminding myself that I need to give myself time to learn, not just get mad because it didn’t come out as I wanted on the first try. Time and baby steps will get me there. lol

BP CUTS JOBS 5%
British oil and gas company BP announced plans on Tuesday to slash 5 percent of its global workforce in the face of a continued slump in oil prices.
It said it aims to reduce its global oil production, or upstream, headcount by 4,000 to 20,000 as it undergoes a $3.5 billion restructuring program. BP said its headcount totaled around 80,000 at the end of 2015.
With crude oil prices at 12-year lows of around $32 a barrel, the world's biggest oil and gas producers are set to continue aggressively slashing spending this year as they face their longest period of investment cuts in decades.
"We want to simplify (our) structure and reduce costs without compromising safety. Globally, we expect the headcount in upstream to be below 20,000 by the end of the year," a company spokesman said.
In the North Sea, he said BP planned to reduce headcount by 600 people over the next two years with most cuts likely in 2016.
BP shares, which have fallen by around 40 percent since the oil price began to slide in mid-2014, were up 1.2 percent at 1157 GMT compared with a 0.8 percent rise for the broader sector index.
Oil companies including Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron have already slashed tens of thousands jobs globally to deal with a near 75 percent drop in oil prices since June 2014 that has seen earnings collapse.
BP, which must also pay $20 billion in fines to resolve the deadly 2010 Gulf of Mexico spill, announced in October plans for a third round of spending cuts and said it would limit capital spending, or capex, to $17-19 billion a year through to 2017.
The company, which has already sold over $50 billion of assets in recent years in order to cover the spill costs, said it expected an additional $3-5 billion of divestments in 2016.
Fourth-quarter upstream earnings for oil majors are expected to fall by 84 percent from a year earlier and 48 percent from the previous quarter, according to analysts at Macquarie.
BP will report fourth quarter and full-year results for 2015 on Feb. 2.

LUKOIL - The plan is based on the conservative $50 per barrel oil price scenario. Sustainable hydrocarbon production growth is planned in the Upstream business segment along with the growth in the share of high-margin projects in the overall production. In the Downstream business segment, the focus is on the improvement of operating efficiency and selective investment projects targeted at the enhancement of product slate.
BP - BP will acquire on completion a 43% equity share in Lightsource for a total consideration of $200 million, paid over three years. The great majority of this investment will fund Lightsource’s worldwide growth pipeline. The company will be renamed Lightsource BP and BP will have two seats on the board of directors.
REUTERS - Brent crude was up 69 cents, or 1.1 percent, at $64.03 a barrel by 0743 GMT. It had settled down $1.35, or 2.1 percent, on Tuesday on a wave of profit-taking after news of a key North Sea pipeline shutdown helped send the global benchmark above $65 for the first time since mid-2015. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 45 cents, or 0.8 percent, at $57.59 a barrel.
ROSATOM - On December 10, 2017, the construction start ceremony took place at the Akkuyu NPP site under a limited construction licence issued by the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK). Director General of the ROSATOM Alexey Likhachev, and First Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Turkish Republic, Fatih Donmez, took part in the ceremony.

Shanna by Kathleen Woodwiss. I read my first romance novel at 15. Before that I was read sci-fi and fantasy. Jules Verne, Issac Asimov, Ayn Rand, Ursula Le Guin, and Arthur C. Clarke, ect. But that one rainy summer afternoon I was left with nothing and a bike ride to the library was out of the question. So I swiped this book off my Mom's night-stand. Thinking the book taboo I read in my room and since I was RIVETED I did not come out of my room for 2 days - it was over 600 pages (except for meals). At some point my Mom swung the door open and I hid the book under the covers. My Mom said, "Elizabeth, what are you doing?" I sheepishly showed her the book and she said....wait for it....."Oh, Thank God! I thought you were in here doing drugs."
So despite the torn cover I'm keeping this on the shelf. Great book and a great memory to remember.


Upon his exit from Bigg Boss, Tharshan refused to marry Sanam. While some supported the actress, many were abusing her and claimed that she was lying on social media.
However, Sanam's participation in Bigg Boss S4 changed the public's perception on her. She was seen as one of the strongest contestants in the show. Her unexpected exit from the show even got host Kamal Haasan upset.
Now, Sanam has boldly tweeted about the remaining contestants in the show. Here's what she said:
To the best of my understanding this is not a show for babies/baby sitters nor bullies or cry babies!— Sam Sanam Shetty (@SamSanamShetty1) January 4, 2021
Its above and beyond all this.
To be a true winner whether in life or the show u need to basically have the purest conscience and heart of a lion!#bigbosstamil4 #truewinners
Can you guess who is she referring to as the lion and babies? Let us know in the comments...

Italian Woman Taken Hostage in Iraq (Updated)
The hostage is named Giuliana Sgrena and works for Rome daily Il Manifesto. She was abducted as she conducted interviews near Baghdad University.Update II: Terrorists claim abduction. Reuters:
A little-known Iraqi group said on Friday it had taken an Italian journalist hostage and set a 72 hour deadline for Italy to remove its troops, but did not make a specific threat to kill her, a Web statement said.Reuters:
"We in the land of Islam, Iraq, give the Italian government 72 hours to get out of Iraq, otherwise the squadrons will have something else to say in the coming days," said a statement from the Islamic Jihad Organisation titled "about the imprisoning of the Italian journalist". It was not possible to verify the statement, which first appeared on a site not used by the main Iraqi insurgent groups. A group using the same name said in September it had killed two abducted Italian aid workers who were subsequently released by another group.
Gunmen have kidnapped an Italian journalist in Baghdad, the latest in a series of brazen abductions but the first since Iraq's election... Gunmen pulled up alongside her vehicle, forced her driver and an Iraqi journalist with her out of the vehicle at gunpoint and then drove off with Sgrena, the sources said.Original Story---Scotsman:
Gunmen seized an Italian woman journalist in Baghdad today in a hail of gunfire after she had been interviewing people who fled the US assault on the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.... Italian radio journalist Barbara Schiavulli said Sgrena called her on her mobile phone while the assault was underway. “I heard shots and people running but I did not hear her speak,” Schiavulli said. “I only heard pistol shots ... I heard shots and began to shout Giuliana, Giuliana, but she did not reply.” Iraqi police said Sgrena was accompanied by two Iraqi reporters and an Iraqi driver when several armed men stopped their vehicle. The gunmen released the Iraqis and took Sgrena in her own car.UPDATE I: The Religion of Irony never ceases to amaze. Here is a translation of a report by Giuliana Sgrena in the German liberal weekly Die Zeit. It seems the terrorists have taken another anti-war reporter hostage. In it, she refers to the accidental bombing of a market by the US as a "massacre"and refers to the bombing of Baghdad as an attempt to "terrorize the population". Guess where else her work has been published? Z-mag. Yes, the magazine for aging Communists run by Howard Zinn. Yes, that Howard Zinn. My spidey senses are beginning to tingle here folks. Two possibilities: a) She will be released after a concerted campaign to pressure the hostage takers to release her from Arab dicatators, Islamists, and European leftists. After all, when the Left pushes for the release of a hostage the Islamofascists listen. They would hate to lose their closes allies in the West. b) Folks, there is something fishy about this.....on the phone as she's being abducted? In either case expect a series of stories arising out of her ordeal in which she recounts the attrocities of the Americans in Iraq which forced the 'freedom fighters' to capture her......... Developing..... Several Italians have been abducted in Iraq, including two women. The two aid workers, Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, were abducted on Sept. 7th by a group calling itself Ansar al Zawahiri. The group initially threatened to behead the two, but later they were released. Two other Italian hostages were not so lucky. Salvatore Santoro was murdered by the Islamic Army in Iraq some time around December 16th. The terrorists delivered a video to al Jazeera, but the station deemed the footage too gruesome to air. Enzo Baldoni was another Italian reporter who met the fate of so many hostages in Iraq. Baldoni was in Iraq with the Red Cross when he was abducted by the Islamic Army in Iraq. He was later murdered by that group because Italy refused to remove its troops from Iraq. Al Jazeera aired a tape of Baldoni shortly before he was murdered. To the terrorists who have taken Giuliana Sgrena I say vaffanculo!!! PS-Because of a DNS attack on the mu.nu domain, trackbacks have been temporarily disabled. Sorry. E-mail me and I'll manually link you. Others on the case: Cranky Neocon, Chad Evans, Digger, Michele Catalano, TBTN, Hyscience, MVRWC, Spoons, .....

I've just found out that Taste of Freedom has won UK Charity and Fundraising Cookbook of the Year at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.
The President of the Jury Edouard Cointreau called it "a delightful cookbook that will take the reader on a grand tour".
The news has blown my socks off. Gourmand is the only international competition in the food and wine industry, with 205 countries participating. Looking at the glossy works of art that have won previous awards I'm gobsmacked that my low-key collection of family recipes has made it this far. It's a testament to Mum's beautiful cooking and to the huge support that the book has enjoyed.
Its success has ultimately helped Doctors of the World in their vital work delivering medical aid to refugees worldwide, and I hope that this award will help to raise even more money for such a good cause.
The book will now compete in its category against winners in other countries for Best in the World, with the results announced at the awards ceremony in Yantai, China, in May.
Roll on 2017 and watch this space!

About a month ago I started the Flatiron Software Engineering bootcamp. While I have definitely been struggling with imposter syndrome while learning to code, I have to keep reminding myself why I am doing this.
I have been a professional artist for about 7 years now. I have done everything from Puppet Fabrication, to Graphic Design. At the beginning of the pandemic I lost my job. While most traditional art jobs were non existent after the pandemic, I thought I would be able to get a remote graphic design job. However, almost every graphic design job I applied for wanted HTML, JS, and CSS knowledge. I tried teaching myself a little bit but was so out of my depth. I was able to get a few freelance jobs starting in November of last year and found that all the jobs were in unsafe work conditions and paying way less than before the pandemic. Even my old boss with 40 years of experience was making $20 an hour. It was a real wake up call that staying in the arts was not a way to survive. I was also developing severe allergies to the chemicals I was constantly using. Some of those chemicals were even linked to brain cancer, which is definitely something I want to avoid. All of these factors led me to the decision that a career change was in order.
Now, why Software Engineering? My partner was a big reason for this decision. A bunch of their friends in the last three years did the coding bootcamps with great success and said it was the best decisions of their lives. I figured with being detail orientated and having to problem solve a lot in my previous jobs that my skills would transfer in a way. I also wanted a more stable career that isn't dying. I also wanted a job were benefits would be included. As a person with multiple chronic illnesses, having good insurance is vital. Also with having to learn HTML, CSS, and JS to continue Graphic Design anyways, I figured I would be able to bring Graphic Design to the Software I design.
I am excited and nervous for this career change and can't wait to be part of this community.

Your Top 5 favorite Hawaii small towns: HAWAII Magazine Facebook poll resultsby: Derek Paiva
posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 at 01:45 PM
Haleiwa took its name from a stately Victorian hotel built in 1898 by businessman Benjamin Dillingham at the North Shore end of his central Oahu railway line. The grand weekend getaway for wealthy Honoluluans is long gone. But the sleepy sugar plantation town that sprung up around it is now as world-renowned as the North Shore big wave surf spots it has become gateway to. During winter surf season, Haleiwa’s sidewalks, retailers, shave ice stands, eateries and surf and dive shops teem with a funky mix of residents, big wave watchers and professional surfers. When the big waves calm down the rest of the year, countrified Haleiwa is still the ideal big-city escape Dillingham hoped it would be—albeit for everyone.

Never break up with someone then put them on a plane. An airline passenger has been detained in China after allegedly attempting to smash a plane window at 30,000 feet.
It seems the 29-year-old woman had been drinking heavily due to her boyfriend breaking up with her just before she boarded the flight. Footage shows the flight attendants trying to comfort the crying woman, known by her surnameLi, who suddenly started hitting the cabin window until it cracked at 30,000 feet.
The plane had to make an emergency landing and Li was detained by Henan police for damaging public transportation. It remains unclear what type of punishment she would face, but such an offence could result in a jail sentence between three to ten years, according to Chinese laws.

The 29-year-old passenger had drunk two bottles of super-strength spirits on her own due to emotional stress before boarding the domestic flight in China, according to police. She has been detained.


SEC owns the polls
Updated: October 8, 2009, 2:55 PM ETBy ESPN Stats & Information | Special to ESPN.com
1. In the first 992 weeks of The Associated Press college football poll, which debuted in 1936, there were only three times when a conference had three of its teams ranked in the top four spots. Now the SEC has done it in weeks 993, 994 and 995. This week and last, it was No. 1 Florida, No. 3 Alabama and No. 4 LSU. Two weeks ago, it was No. 1 Florida, No. 3 Alabama and No. 4 Ole Miss. The SEC also had three teams ranked in the top four during one week in each of the 1959 and 1961 seasons. The former Big 8 Conference had the top three teams in the final poll of 1971. 2. Florida has been ranked No. 1 for the past eight AP polls, which is the longest streak by any SEC team during the BCS era. Even though the SEC owns five of the 11 BCS titles, this is the shortest streak at No. 1 among the six automatic-qualifying conferences since 1998.

I am looking for partners to hike the Muir Trail in 11 days starting on August 4th, southbound. Due to lack of permits I am planning to get a walk-in for either Happy Isles or Lyell Canyon (Tuolumne). If it is Lyell I will "day hike" from Happy Isles to there.
My plan is to resupply at Tuolumne, Red's Meadow and Muir Trail Ranch.
If necessary I can shift the dates a little if I know soon enough.
This will be my second hike of the JMT. I first completed it in 2004 with my wife in 12 days. Since I spent a lot of time waiting for her to catch up I'm pretty confident I can shave off at least one day, hiking an additional 2 miles per day.

Guest post by Seth Morris, Aerodynamicist, Richard Childress Racing
In the world of stock-car racing, finding even the smallest competitive advantage is the difference between winning and losing.
That’s why at Richard Childress Racing, we design and build our race cars end-to-end. We engineer and machine our own chassis and suspension components, we design and fabricate our own bodies, and we test and build our own engines. Everything is built from the ground up at RCR.
Perhaps that’s why we’ve been so successful over our 48 year history – dating back to 1969 when our owner, Richard Childress, got his start in NASCAR. Since then, we’ve won 17 championships and 200 races and became the first team to win in all three of NASCAR’s top touring series. Richard’s partnership with the legendary Dale Earnhardt made RCR an elite organization with six Cup Series championships stretching from 1986 to 1994.
Today, RCR has eight full-time race teams, 500-plus employees, a 40-acre campus with an engineering staff of over 50, ranging from mechanical design, aerodynamics, simulation, strategy, and research and development. Our aerodynamics team is six engineers strong with another four fabricators tasked with crafting the components for testing in the wind tunnel. Three of these six engineers are dedicated to simulating the aerodynamics of the car using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
