Up to 400 people gathered in Queens Park here on August 13, as part of a national day of action for equal marriage rights. The rally and march that followed were called for the seventh anniversary of the former Howard government's 2004 ban on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex (LGBTI) people's legal right to marry.
The dilemma facing journalists in Australia today was addressed by Philip Castle, a veteran journalist for more than 30 years and Griffith University academic, at a public forum sponsored by Green Left Weekly at the Brisbane Activist Centre on August 9. The forum, titled "Murdoch vs Assange: Media corruption versus the truth", also heard from Jim McIlroy, a long-time correspondent for GLW.
August 12, 2011: For the last five days, Feli McHughes, Joel McHughes and Gregory Coffey from the Ngemba Billabong Restoration Project in Brewarrina, NSW, have been trying to hand over a $260,000 cheque to the head of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs.
On August 7, 50 sex and gender diverse and transgender people gathered in Petersham in Sydney's inner west at a "Save the Drop-In" BBQ. The event was in response to the Gender Centre — the only community service provider for transgender people in Sydney — closed a cornerstone of its service: the weekly "Drop-In" service. The drop-in attracted about 40 people each week. It was held in the evening and food was provided. The service accounted for 28% of the Gender Centre's client contacts, according to the Centre's 2010 annual report.
"Looking at racism and denial in Australia — do we have zero tolerance, or is it zero acknowledgement of racism?" Race Discrimination Commissioner Graeme Innes asked this question in an August 9 address to the National Press Club in Canberra.
Police snatched four Palestine solidarity activists from their houses in the early hours of August 9. Arrested for allegedly breaching their bail conditions by attending a protest against Israeli apartheid outside a Max Brenner shop on July 29, the activists had to pay outrageously high bail sureties to be released.
Five activists from Anti-Nuclear NT (ANNT) gathered outside the offices of Energy Resources Australia (ERA) on August 9. They were congratulating the company on its decision to abandon plans to use acid heap leeching at its Ranger uranium mine in Kakadu national park. Acid heap leeching uses thousands of tonnes of highly toxic acid to release uranium oxide from the soil. It would have sent hundreds of acid-filled trucks along the Northern Territory's Stuart Highway each day.
Residents from the Putty Valley, 150 kilometres northwest of Sydney, are outraged at the news that coal seam gas drilling will begin in their rural community on August 15. An August 10 statement on the Putty Gasbag website said residents heard about the drilling start date only after a local resident called mining company Dart Energy about a different matter.
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) staff took industrial action for two hours from 3pm on August 11 over stalled enterprise agreement negotiations. Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) members in DAFF walked off the job at about 40 sites across Australia for two hours in protest at the lack of progress with their pay claim. The stoppage affected quarantine inspections at airports, meat inspections at abattoirs and other DAFF services. The action followed a series of one-hour national stoppages the previous week.
On Hiroshima Day, on August 6, two events were held in Wollongong to remember the terrible events of 1945. About 30 peace activists gathered around the Peace Plaque in the city mall to remember the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This year, 30 people shared a one-minute silence at 8:15am, the time the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
The organising collective for December's "1Love: equality, marriage, freedom" conference in Sydney released the statement below on August 11. * * * The first national conference to discuss the future and direction of the marriage equality campaign has been announced. The grassroots campaign for marriage rights has been a great success to date — we have won civil unions in the ACT, three registration schemes and recognition of international same-sex marriages in Tasmania.
Friends of the Earth (FoE) has claimed a victory after company Mecrus Resources Pty Ltd removed coal and coal seam gas from its application for a resource exploration licence in Victoria. FoE raised the alarm on August 5 about the company's application with the Department of Primary Industries to explore for a range of resources in south-western Victoria, including mineral sands, brown and black coal, coal bed methane (aka coal seam gas), gold, silver, platinum and other minerals. By August 8, the company had removed coal and coal seam gas from the application.
Australian group Students for Palestine released the statement below on August 9. * * * The Victorian Police and courts went to outrageous lengths to criminalise solidarity activism with Palestine on August 9. For the crime of attending a peaceful demonstration against Max Brenner chocolate store and its support for apartheid, four activists were snatched from their homes in the early hours of the day, locked in a holding cell, and made to pay a combined total of $16,000 in surety to be allowed to leave.
Kevin Bracken, the Victorian secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia, made this statement below in a personal capacity in response to the arrest of four Palestine solidarity activists on August 9. * * * The heavy handed approach taken at the direction of the Victorian government to protesters condemning the Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people should be of concern to the community. The rolling out of arcane legislation to stifle any criticism of the state of Israel is an attack on our right to free speech.
The Geelong and Region Trades and Labour Council released the statement below on August 10. * * * "Supporters of free speech and our right to protest must condemn today's early morning arrests of Palestine solidarity activists," said Tim Gooden, secretary of Geelong Trades Hall.

The statement published below was released on August 9 by Samah Sabawi on behalf of the Australians for Palestine steering committee. * * * It has come to our attention that the Victorian Consumer Affairs Minister Michael O'Brien has singled out our organisation as well as a few others for investigation by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) for an alleged suspicion that we may have been involved in 'secondary boycotts' against Israeli-owned businesses in Australia.
Green Left Weekly rejects the attempt by the Victorian government to criminalise supporters of Palestinian rights, Green Left coeditor Stuart Munckton said.

The Ward 1 campaign website of Community Voice, a ticket of community activists that will stand in the September 3 Wollongong City Council elections, released the statement below on August 9. * * * Founding members of Stop Coal Seam Gas Illawarra, Jess Moore and Chris Williams, are standing with Community Voice as Ward 1 candidates in the forthcoming Wollongong City Council elections.
Electrical Trades Union members around the country are currently voting for national and state union officials. The ballot goes from August 8-29. Nationally, a team of Howard Worthing, former assistant Victorian secretary, and Greg Wilton, former Western Australia organiser, are challenging incumbent national secretary Peter Tighe and Allen Hicks, for the positions of national secretary and assistant national secretary respectively. Allen Hicks is former Queensland assistant secretary. Reconnect ETU is running a full ticket against the Victorian incumbent leadership.
In 1998, the UN hosted a special session on illegal drugs which set out to implement law enforcement control strategies in the hope of creating a "drug free" world. Today, it is generally recognised that this policy has been an abject failure. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime stated in a 2011 report that the "overall number of drug users appears to have increased over the last decade from 180 to some 210 million people".
More than 100 community supporters, environmentalists and trade unionists assembled on the steps of Trades Hall in Melbourne to launch the "100,000 Australians" campaign. A project of the Earthworker co-operative, the campaign seeks to build a cooperatively-owned factory making solar hot water systems in Morwell, Victoria. The project is hoping for 100,000 Australians to join the Earthworker Cooperative at $20 a member to raise the $2 million needed for the "Eureka's Future" factory machinery, fit-out and finish.
Tracker magazine — Evidently there is progress in Northern Territory prescribed communities. The Prime Minister has visited and she says so. The mainstream media report so. Indeed what the Prime Minister says is remarkably similar to what Jenny Macklin has been saying for some time: there is progress.
When the right-wing press isn't hacking the voicemail of murdered teenagers, much of its energy goes to denouncing "green extremists". You know, the ones who'd destroy our economy just to claw back a few tonnes of greenhouse emissions. So what would Rupert Murdoch, Andrew Bolt and their whole tribe prefer be done, in practice and in the near term, to stop global warming? Let's be honest — nothing. Cutting emissions, they implicitly argue, will inevitably cost more than if society lets carbon polluters get on with what they do best.
We all know there's a big problem with the environment and it needs drastic action to fix it. So does a Marxist analysis of the problem bring anything new to the table? Marxism redefines the terms of the mainstream environmental debate. Instead of seeing the problem as one of humans versus nature, the problem is framed as one where humans and nature are intrinsically linked and ecological crises arise in which the relationship between the two is thrown into imbalance.
About 200 people have arrived on boats to claim refugee protection in Australia since the Australian and Malaysian governments signed a deal to "swap" refugees on July 25. The countries agreed to exchange up to 800 refugees in Australia for 4000 refugees registered with the United Nations in Malaysia. The immigration department has refused to look at the new arrivals' claims for asylum, but is holding them in an isolated compound of the Christmas Island detention centre. A boat that arrived on August 11 carried more than 100 refugees, many of them children.
Distinguished US activist, writer and former political prisoner Angela Davis addressed a public forum in Sydney on August 11 organised by the prisoner rights group Sisters Inside. Davis was a keynote speaker at Sisters Inside's sixth International Conference on the criminalisation of women and imprisonment, held in Sydney over August 10 to 12. Her speech at the August 11 public forum is below. * * *
Boycott Israel 19, August 11 - Israeli activists from the pro boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign in Israel issued the statement below on August 11 in support of Australian pro-Palestine activists in Melbourne who have faced arrests and intimidation from the Victorian government. * * * Following anti-Democratic Arrests and Intimidation Attempts: Israeli Citizens in Solidarity with Australian BDS Activists!
The Socialist Alliance released the statement below on August 10. * * * Our right to demonstrate in support Palestinian human rights must be protected. Millions of people across the Middle East have been protesting for freedom of speech and freedom to protest, while in Victoria, the Ted Baillieu Coalition government is proceeding to criminalise political protest, particularly protest in support of Palestinian human rights.

As I write these words, out-of-control hordes are swarming throughout downtown Manhattan. Their disregard for human decency, for the sanctity of people's homes, jobs, property and health is beyond anything seen since the Dark Ages. These men and women, almost all of them white and disturbingly antiseptic for people living in a filthy and crowded city, are dressed in bizarre outfits.
As part of the "Don't Dance for Israeli Apartheid" campaign in Ireland ― organized by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Committee (IPSC) ― activists in Dublin are protesting Irish dance troupe Riverdance's decision to perform in Israel in September, ElectronicIntifada.net said on August 11. IPSC is organising a protest on August 18 outside the Gaiety Theater ― "the final action in our series of ongoing protests before Riverdance heads to perform for Israeli Apartheid".
Talking about the Supreme Court, how about a little history. On June 15, 2009 the United States Supreme Court announced its decision to reject the request for a revision of the Cuban Five case. The Cuban Five are Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labanino, Fernando Gonzalez, and Rene Gonzalez The five Cuban men jailed in the US for their role in collecting information on behalf of the Cuban government on potential terrorist acts by violent anti-Cuban groups in Miami.
US President Barack Obama's war on whistleblowers has suffered several setbacks. Two high-profile prosecutions against whistleblowers failed and the mistreatment of alleged WikiLeaks source, military analyst Bradley Manning, has been confirmed. The cases show a pattern of vindictive harassment against anyone involved in leaking information the US government deems "secret". These cases are part of a broader attack on the public's right to know what governments do behind closed doors.
Botswana has become the latest country to follow the Western powers in recognising the Benghazi-based Transitional National Council (TNC), set up by rebel forces opposed to Muammar Gaddafi's dictatorship, as the legitimate government of Libya, Mmegi said on August 12. Meanwhile, the August 12 British Telegraph reported that Gaddafi's regime in Tripoli was threatened by splits.
The family of Mark Duggan, shot dead by police in Tottenham on August 4 have called for a second postmortem to be carried out into the cause of his death. Mark Duggan was shot dead by armed police in Ferry Lane, Tottenham Hale, on the evening of August 4 after the minicab in which he was travelling was stopped in a pre-planned operation. The first postmortem suggested he had been shot twice, once in the arm and once in the chest.
Luz Smedbron ― a disabled mother of three originally from Ecuador ― and about a dozen housing rights advocates, stood together on Smedbrons' porch in Addison, Illinois on July 29. With protest signs in hand, they chanted: "The people united, will never be defeated!" DuPage County sheriffs moved in, but protesters stood their ground. As news cameras arrived on the scene, the officers slunk back to their patrol cars, looking confused and embarrassed. They radioed for reinforcements.
This years global uprisings remind us how infectious the revolutionary spirit can be. In recent weeks, a social movement within Israel has sprung to life in an almost spontaneous manner. A small housing protest that started on July 14 has swept hundreds of thousands of people into protest across the country. As in many other countries, people in Israel face rapidly rising living costs and the privatisation of public assets. Israel once saw itself as a welfare state (though its policies have been designed to benefit mainly the Jewish population since its inception).
Dear Mr & Mrs Cameron, Why did you never take the time to teach your child basic morality?
"Mob rule". "Wanton destruction". "Mindless thuggery". "Sheer criminality". Media, politicians and police always say the same thing about urban riots. Riots can spin out of control and engulf ordinary people. But that does not alter the fact that they are rooted in social oppression. Criminals may take advantage of riots, but they do not cause them. The events in Tottenham, Hackney, Croydon, Birmingham, Manchester, and a dozen other urban areas are not some sinister eruption of an underclass of criminals equipped with BlackBerries moving from one hot-spot to another.
Martin Ferris, Sinn Fein TD (member of the Dublin-based parliament, the Dail) for Kerry, visited Australia at the end of July. Ferris spoke to hundreds of people at public meetings in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne on the economic crisis in Ireland. He also spoke on the struggle to reunify the six counties in Ireland's north still controlled by Britain with the 26 counties that make up the southern state.
Why is it that the same areas always erupt first, whatever the cause? Pure accident? Might it have something to do with race and class and institutionalised poverty and the sheer grimness of everyday life? The coalition politicians (including new New Labour, who might well sign up to a national government if the recession continues apace) with their petrified ideologies can't say that because all three parties are equally responsible for the crisis. They made the mess. See also:
Forming in New York City around 1990, The Casualties started out with an idea to return to the "Golden Age" of street punk, something they felt had been on sharp decline since the mid 1980s. Having racked up eight full length albums, three EPs, three live albums and countless miles in the tour van, The Casualties continue to enjoy success more than 20 years after their inception. The band is touring Australia in September. Green Left Weekly's Chris Peterson caught up with them for a bite-sized interview. * * *
Contested Territory 11- 28 August 2011 Curated by Luisa Velasco At the Vanishing Point gallery, 565 King Street, Newtown, Sydney www.atthevanishingpoint.com.au Contested Territory explores ― through contemporary art ― narratives highlighting areas of dispute, particularly issues of land and human rights of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples in the Middle East. At the same time, Contested Territory delves into the phenomenon of Islamophobia and our own historical and contemporary cultural disposition toward the fear of otherness.
Inspired by Brisbane flash mob actions in support of the "boycott, divestment and sanctions" campaign against Israel, I hunted for songs to adapt and use here in Newcastle. I came across flash mobs action around Australia, France and the US. And then I came across a song, that rocked me way back to the early '80s. "The" song in the era of action against South Africa's apartheid was "Free Nelson Mandela" by English ska band The Specials. "Freedom for Palestine" by British-based collective Oneworld is the equivalent for our era of action against Israel's apartheid practices.
The Bob Marley songbook is bursting with eloquent social protest, exposing the poverty, oppression and injustice endured by inhabitants of the "developing" world. "Burning and Looting", for example: "This morning I woke up in a curfew. O my God I was a prisoner too … Could not recognise the faces standing over me, they were all dressed in uniforms of brutality."

The "free market" fanatics at the Productivity Commission have done their dirty job once again with their newly released Caring For Older Australians report. It would be more honestly titled Throw The Oldies To The Wolves because it follows vicious cuts to disabilities pensions.
Australia's dirty future Australian taxpayers, at their own expense, are receiving copies of the Labor government's 20-page document entitled "Clean energy future, What a carbon price means to you". Unfortunately this scientifically-illiterate document contains a falsehood of commission or omission on nearly every page.

Second life for Flanders Today online and in print
What is the big difference between the old and the new Flanders Today?
Since 1 October, Flanders Today now publishes daily news and features online. Previously, we only updated our website once a week to match our weekly print edition, which was our main product. So we were steadfastly a weekly. Now we are a daily. We see the website as the main product, and the weekly print edition acts as a kind of summary of the website.
Another big change is that the print edition is no longer free. All content online, including apps, are free. But the print version now costs €24.95 for a year's subscription of 50 issues. Finally, we now send a daily e-newsletter, in addition to our weekly e-newsletter. So readers can get the top five headlines in their email inbox every morning.
What does Flanders Today offer in print?
Ackroyd Publications has been publishing the weekly print version of Flanders Today since 2007, and we still publish it every Wednesday, for those who prefer newsprint to websites or apps. It contains most of what we print online, sometimes in truncated versions. But you'll find about 90% of what's online in the print version. And you'll even find a few little bits in the print version that don't work online, so they are for print only.
What does Flanders Today offer online? Has the online version become more important?
Yes, we now consider our website to be our main product. Readers can find the latest current affairs, business and political news every morning, plus new features every day on innovation, education, lifestyle and culture. We also print a weekly agenda and columns. Our Talking Dutch column about the Dutch language is one of our most popular.
We also have a daily e-newsletter that readers can sign up for on our website. It delivers the morning's news directly to your in-box. We also have a weekly e-newsletter that is sent on Wednesdays, with a round-up of the week's news and features.
Readers can consult the website at www.flanderstoday.eu. From there, they can download apps for iOS or Android to read Flanders Today on phones or tablets. The apps are free! Readers can also sign up for the e-newsletters on the website.
What kind of stories do you cover?
Everything you find in most daily newspapers: news, business, science and tech, education, politics, lifestyle and arts. We also have a weekly agenda. Our only criteria is that it has to have a Flemish component to it. Our mission is to introduce foreigners living in Flanders and Brussels to the region and what it has to offer. The general news but also its arts and culture.
The daily news tends to be shorter articles that you can read in a few minutes, while other articles are longer for when you're on your lunch hour or sitting in the train or at home in the sofa. We cover, for instance, the latest innovative technologies developed in Flanders, art exhibitions, new books by Flemish writers, the Flemish ministers' policies and business developments, such as a company that is closing or one that is expanding. So essentially we cover everything any other daily newspaper would cover.
We also try to cover the news and human interest stories that we think will be particularly interesting to an international audience. And all of our articles are written with that audience in mind.
Who are you writing for?
Our mission is to cover Flanders and Brussels for an English-speaking audience – essentially for expats and other foreigners who live in Flanders and Brussels who may not speak or read Dutch well enough to read the Flemish press. That is our target audience. We also, however, have a lot of Flemish readers who are trying to improve their English.
Has there been any change of emphasis since October?
In terms of content, nothing significant. We publish more content now that we run daily news and have expanded our news coverage a bit. We also have a bit more political news.
Flanders Today is an initiative of the Government of Flanders. Can we trust the information?
Like VRT, we are funded by the government of Flanders, but we operate independently. No one at the government tells us what to write or reads what we write before we publish it. The government realises that an independent organisation brings with it a sense of transparency and legitimacy that Flanders Today wouldn't have if they were publishing it themselves.
This has been proven in our readership surveys; most of the readers don't realise that the government subsidises Flanders Today because that's not evident when you read it. Our most recent survey showed a "very positive" satisfaction rate (8 or more out of 10) of 81%.
Since October a small charge has been introduced for the print version. Won't it put off reader?
It covers the cost of postage, which was the goal. Flanders Today was a bit of a victim of its own success: We had twice as many subscribers than we expected when the publication was free, and we were way over budget with postage costs. Now the reader pays for the postage if they want the print version.
How big is your team?
I am the only full-time staff member working on Flanders Today. We also have two part-time editors and several regular freelance contributors. These people are awesome; they really keep it ticking over. A lot of my job is at a supervisory level; it's the part-time editors and writers who are doing the nitty-gritty work of producing all that text and all those images.
We have a pool of about 20 freelance writers, both Flemish and international. This keeps the voice of the paper varied and interesting. Flanders Today is published by Ackroyd Publications, which also publishes The Bulletin, Newcomer magazine, Expat Time and a number of other titles for expats living in Belgium. A colleague of mine handles those titles, and we also have a two-person marketing department that works with all the titles.
Being an American does this complicate or facilitate your task?
Well, the editor being a native speaker was of utmost importance to the Government of Flanders when they launched the project. Whether I'm American or British or another native speaker of English doesn't really matter. Though Flanders Today does use British English, and sometimes my spell-check catches me using an Americanism. The deputy editor, Sally Tipper, is British, and she corrects little mistakes here and there as well.

Waiting for police to arrive, Wilson gave the freezing boy her jacket and some food.
It was later reported that the boy was reunited with his family after leaving the house "by mistake".
"I'm happy I made that stop. You know, I always say God puts us in places, you know, where he needs us at times," she said. "I don't look at it as being a hero — just being there to help."

It's now ten years since I started writing this blog, so I thought I should acknowledge the fact via some kind of summary. Quite a lot has happened in that time, although much remains the same. I don't really remember why I begin blogging, but it's turned out to be quite a useful way of reminding myself what I've been up to over the years. When I started there were a lot more gigs and photography trips, and no running or mountain biking. Reviewing individual posts while writing this one has also been an interesting exercise – I had a comment in 2008 from someone who I now know entirely separately through running, and I've had helpful feedback in the comments about the direction of my writing ("This post got dangerously close to becoming a photography post as opposed to a climbing post." – Jamie B, 2008)
The first couple of posts were about a snowy walk in the Lake District and a Biffy Clyro gig. I did my first lead climb, and joined MPS, then did my first winter climb and fell off Kinder Downfall. We bought a house. The idea of ticking UNESCO and scrambling lists seemed good, but I'm not sure I'll ever finish either! I didn't run a long way, and I did run a long way (proud of that one!). I raced a train, and wrote some fairly niche software.
It's hard to pick favourite posts, but here's a selection…
- A Short Walk with Brannock
- Haydn's Gone to Iceland
- Dolomites 2016
- Well I neve
- Ljubljana grafitti
- Going Clubbing
- Budapest
- Kernow
- Storm chasing
- Expedition 2012 report
- Paris
- Kiss My Book
Obviously the recurring theme in all of those – and indeed all of the other exciting escapades recorded herein – is "fun with other people", so thanks to everyone who's helped facilitate any adventures at any point in the now-not-so-short history of this blog. So that's that. Here's to another ten years.

The Men's Ministry at Crossroads is an instrument for reaching men and building them into a community of Christian disciples who, through the Holy Spirit, allow the attitude of Christ to be reflected in all areas of their lives. Our goal, to unite the men of our church towards making each man a reflection of the character and person of Jesus Christ through study of His word and the building of relationships that will provide personal accountability as well as opportunities for service in the home, church, and community.
We've been told that the toughest group to get together are men. That's not the case here at Crossroads. Our Men's Ministry is alive and well through small groups, breakfast gatherings, annual conferences, service projects and summer dinners like the "Meat & Greet." Our men are involved at every level of ministry at Crossroads. We believe that the strength of the church is found in the support of its men, and the women agree.
Come and meet some incredible men who are willing to just be MEN!
The Forge Leadership Team
Contact: email@example.com
Exploring examples of men of God throughout the Bible, this study will challenge you to lay down your excuses, stop compromising and fight to be a man of character and commitment. Despite your setbacks, failures and pressures, you can still find purpose, meaning and direction in life and become the man God has called you to be. This 8-week class meets in the City Room beginning September 29th from 8:30am-10am.

Bank of Japan to consider offering bleaker view on output as trade war bites: Sources
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) will consider offering a bleaker assessment on factory output than in October at its rate review this month, sources said, underscoring its concern over the broadening fallout from the US-China trade war and slowing global demand.A downgrade in the BOJ's view on output - a key driver of growth - will cast doubt on its argument that Japan's economy will sustain a moderate expansion as robust domestic demand make up for weak exports.Factory output contracted in October in the biggest slump in nearly two years and manufacturers expect output to drop again in November, government data showed.Close While the government blamed the weakness mostly on temporary shutdowns of factories due to the typhoon, analysts warned that weakening demand for cars and other big-ticket items after a sales tax hike in October was taking a toll. related news India Inc foreign borrowings jump over two-fold to $3.41bn in Oct FPIs turn net sellers in Indian capital markets in Dec … [Read more...] about Bank of Japan to consider offering bleaker view on output as trade war bites: Sources

SCOOBA – The seventh-ranked Lions of East Mississippi Community College overcame an 8-0, fourth-inning deficit to claim a 14-11 comeback victory over visiting Northeast Mississippi during Saturday's doubleheader opener to clinch the MACJC North Division baseball championship at Gerald Poole Field. Northeast prevailed in the nightcap, 18-4, to earn the division's No. 2 seed heading into next week's best-of-three MACJC baseball playoff series.
Earning the school's first division baseball title since 1998, head coach Chris Rose's 31-11 EMCC Lions, 18-6 in division play, will play host to the No. 4 seed from the MACJC's South Division in a best-of-three series taking place Friday and Saturday (May 2-3) on the Scooba campus. Friday's first pitch is slated for 7 p.m., while game two is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday. A third and deciding game, if necessary, will follow on Saturday.
Entering Saturday's final regular-season doubleheader needing just one win against Northeast to earn EMCC's first division baseball crown in 16 years, the Lions got off to an inauspicious start in game one. After plating two runs in the second, the Tigers chased EMCC starting pitcher Joshua Griffis by batting around the next frame. The big hits in the visitors' five-run third both came with two outs – a two-run single by Ben Foster followed two batters later by a two-run double off the bat of Jack Hurdle. A leadoff home run by Easton Hall off Lion reliever Brock McKnight in the fourth upped the margin to 8-0.
After being limited to just two hits by NEMCC starting pitcher Cody Bo Dillard through the first three innings, the Lions went through the lineup in the bottom of the fourth to produce four runs on five hits. Trent Waddell's two-run single highlighted the inning to cut the deficit in half at 8-4.
With sophomore left-hander Hunter Floyd holding the Tigers in check through the middle innings, EMCC crept to within a one with a three-run fifth inning. With two outs, Tyler Odom was hit by a pitch and Waddell walked as Dillard exited the contest. Colton Caver promptly greeted reliever Landon Boyd with a three-run blast – his first of three homers on the day - over the left-field wall to make it an 8-7 ballgame.
Northeast got those three runs back two innings later off Floyd, who wild-pitched a run in and then surrendered a two-run double down the left-field line to Luke Stanley after back-to-back singles by Foster and Drew Wray. Down 11-7, the Lions batted through the order again in the bottom of the seventh to complete the comeback. Following an opposite-field RBI double off the wall by Brandon Acker, Chase Nyman's run-scoring single set up the game's big blow. With the bases loaded, LeDarious Clark lined a bases-clearing double into left field off reliever Ben Hellums for his third hit of the contest to give EMCC its first lead (12-11) of the day.
With relievers Andrew Crane and Conner Burton closing out the contest by working the final 2 2/3 innings, the two right-handers combined to get the Lions out of a jam in the eighth inning. Burton inherited two base runners with two outs before promptly walking Wray on four pitches to load the bases. The East Webster product responded by fanning pinch-hitter Josh Peterson to thwart the potential rally.
East Mississippi tacked on a couple of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to account for the final margin. Caver, a sophomore from Gulfport, led off the frame by smacking his second home run of the contest. Dylan Vuncannon added a sacrifice fly that scored Acker for the game's final run.
Crane, a freshman from Pascagoula, improved his record to 6-1 on the year, while Burton picked up his seventh save of the campaign.
Caver, who added his third homer of the day – his first three round-trippers of the season - in the nightcap, paced EMCC's 15-hit attack in the opener by going 4-for-5 at the plate with four runs batted in and four runs scored. Clark was 3-for-6 in game one, including his clutch three-run double in the seventh inning. Nyman and Vuncannon added two hits apiece in the opener for the winners.
Northeast, now 25-17 overall and 17-7 heading into the postseason, managed 13 hits off EMCC pitching in game one. Foster and Stanley each had three hits for the Tigers and combined for seven RBIs between them.

Erin Prokop says
Dr. Ruscio- Thank you for all of the work you've done to help educate those of us learning functional medicine. I have a question regarding antibody testing for worms, h. pylori, etc. What advantage does testing the blood for antibody levels of worms, h pylori or other organisms offer given that the presence of those antibodies doesn't always mean that the organism is present in the person? That is, how does the therapeutic intervention differ if the antibodies are found to be present, especially an IgG antibody? Would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thank you!
Erin Prokop, NP
Dr. Ruscio says
My pleasure Erin! Antibodies can be helpful when traditional, antigen recognition, is difficult. For example with worms and amoebas, arguably H. Pylori. But, as you're eluding to, this doesn't provide definitive diagnosis. So these results have to be used in conjunction with history, signs and symptoms to determine if treatment is warranted. This is not black and white.
Nina Keegan says
Another great case study. Do you have a patient questionnaire you would be willing to share?
Thank you.
Dr. Ruscio says
Thanks Nina,
Not at the moment but with a future GI training course 🙂
Nina Keegan says
Another question: Patients who have had labs previously – do you utilize these results (ie CBC, Chem Panel, TSH, etc) from outside labs and if so, how recent would you require?
Dr. Ruscio says
Yes. 6 months or less depending on context.
laxmikant bhoiwala,md says
Hi dr ruscio
Do you have archives before 2017

pay to access that

Dr. Ruscio says
There is nothing before 2017, you have access to every issue from the inception.
Joe Mather says
Podcast / Question of the Month suggestion:
Given your openness to changing your mind with new information and effort to give evidence based recommendations to patients – I think it would be valuable to hear your thoughts on what you've changed your mind on in your clinical practice. You've alluded to not commonly using adrenal or food sensitivity testing. What other parts of your practice have evolved? Is there anything you've done a 180 on with the benefit of experience and study?
For me – I'm skeptical of MTHFR in most patients, I think the benefits of fish oil have been largely oversold, and am much more conservative regarding vitamin D supplementation. I also prescribe a lot more statins / zetia than in years past.
Dr. Ruscio says
More to follow
Allie Nowak says
Dr. Ruscio,
I see that you frequently use supplemental DHEA/Preg in most patients for adrenal support including fatigue/brain fog. What dose(s) do you typically use since you aren't testing levels? Any risks to empirically treating?
Dr. Ruscio says
Will answer in question of the month 🙂

This is a good basic recipe. It would probably also be good with sugared strawberries & whipped cream.
Sweet cream or salted butter I wonder?
No baking powder??????
No baking powder or baking soda required?
Why is my batter turning into dough?
Do I shift flour?
Great recipe! I've made it multiple times and it comes out great each time.
Do you put the rack in the middle of the oven?

ARTIST & CREATIVE INTERVIEW SERIES, Camera Obscura, Fred Herzog, Main+Hastings and Vancouver's Ross Den Otter.
I'm pretty giddy about this creatives interview series for various reasons. Mainly because it has very little to do with me and very much to do with the intriguing stories of OTHER fascinating human beings. It gives me a chance to leave the funky, if not somewhat deep and firework-y depths of my own brain and enter the amazing worlds of others.
As completely COOL as the last interview with Chloë Rain was THIS latest artist continues to uphold the high standards of excellence in creativity (all with a wee bit of aplomb, levity and humor). Here's the speedy Scooby Doo flash back as to why this interview with Ross Den Otter is so cool, for me in particular.
I met Ross online through an actor acquaintance about 10 or so years ago. I figured I had to get to know this interesting artist who was so adept at working with SO many different mediums. After all he went to the same college I did, lives in my city and is über creative. Who wouldn't want to follow this talented artists' creative endeavors?
Throughout the years Ross has politely answered the various light set-up purchasing inquiries I had with my photography business, gave me feedback on art related things I've asked him about and invited me to peruse his studio during Vancouver's Culture Crawl. And although I live within half an hour of his creative universe I have YET to visit it and am always taken by surprise when the Culture Crawl event hits. You'd think that since it's a yearly event that's been going on for 20 years I would have implemented some sort of notification using the new fangled creations afforded to us in this age of all things technological, cell phoney and social media-y so that I could make this freaking event that looks so completely amazing and tantalizing to my arty taste buds … but no. I'm not sure whether it's my flighty Gemini tendencies with my mind always being all dreamy in the clouds, my introvert nature or a combo of the two but I can never seem to get my act together and each year I promise myself "next year … FOR SURE." So naturally last month after, yet another, kind invite from Ross I again promised myself (after several swear words that would surely impress any sailor) "Next year! FOR effin sure." It's going to happen. I swear.
Along with Ross' abundant creativity he seems to have boundless graciousness and patience for putting up with my random questions over the years and that, along with his humility and sense of humour, show me why his students favor him.
*Scooby Doo flash back to the present* So, now that the back story is established and you know all the deets, I'm more than happy to introduce; Ross Den Otter. Let's jump in to the interview …
shari: WHEN DID YOU get your artistic start?
ross: That's hard to define. I started doing theatrical lighting when I was 13. I was given my first camera a little later that year. I'd always been involved in the arts; theatre, dance, and visual but I don't think I took anything too seriously until grade 11 when I decided to opt out of some math classes in order to explore visual communications. That choice meant that I couldn't directly apply to study sciences at university but it did qualify me for my first newspaper job, which made me realize I'm a rather lousy journalist.
shari: IT CAN BE A TOUGH GIG so what inspired you to continue following a creative path?
ross: Hardheadedness and a fear of jobs that have one or more of the following: ties, Hair nets, name tags.
name tags. *shudder*
shari: WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY when it comes to art?
ross: Satisfy yourself with the process. The work will never be perfect, so find perfection in the processes, not the works.
shari: WHAT CAME FIRST? Painting or Photography?
ross: Historically painting came before photography… 🙂 For me photography came before painting… by about 20 years, but break-dancing came before both.
Break dancing? *Shari pauses interview to rummage through interwebs in an attempt to find old footage of the alleged events*
shari: DID YOU TRAIN FORMALLY with any art classes or did you take a more organic, non academic approach?
ross: I studied photography formally for a year and informally ever since. I believe in whole life learning. Growth in any practice, be it medical, law or art, only comes with continued learning. To remain relevant one must be constantly learning. The mentors I've learned most from have sought to be students throughout their careers, and for that, their work shows no signs of age.
shari: IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE what would be your favourite medium? The one you couldn't live without?
ross: Water, which is common for all of us and It's hard to process film without it.
*Shari stares at reader with her eyebrow raised while wondering how to re-word this specific question so that it's interpreted less literally in the future, weeding out the wise acres*
shari: YOU'VE DEDICATED YOUR LIFE to some pretty great causes is there one in cause in particular you're close to? And why?
ross: There are two. I donated my first works to "Art for Life" which supported "Friends for Life". I have an uncle that gave a camera to me when I was early on my path. It came with an obligation; that when I was in a position to give back to others, I would. I'm certain there will be a time when I will need help.
The other charity I've supported for some years is Arts Umbrella. I've been donating work to their fundraising gala "Splash" since 2010. Arts Umbrella engages youth with art. In my youth, the camera was my bridge to understanding my science classes. Arts provide that bridge. The arts always seem to fall first in budget cuts, and to be honest, I have no idea why. I don't see a distinction between art and science. I see art as science, and I see science as art; one isn't exclusive of the other. A pathologist looks for anomalous forms in the compositions of MRIs or CT scans as an artist would. I could extend the idea that a pathologist is an artist. Now having said that, artists should be discouraged from engaging in pathology without proper training.
shari: TELL US ABOUT YOUR creative process. Does it differ from medium to medium?
ross: I started working with a camera because I lack the patience for other media. Working with a camera makes you think about composition by subtraction; everything is there and the photographer reduces the elements to make a composition. It's a bit like stone carving; chipping away until the form is revealed. That subtractive thinking might be why I moved into goldsmithing and lost wax casting in particular. A wax model is reduced from a larger block, it's form set in plaster, burnt out by heat and replaced in a more precious metal form. Painters work additively; the canvas is blank and the artist is responsible for adding the marks. When I started working in mixed media I had to adjust my mindset. Photographers often strive for images without flaws, especially today when working with digital tools. Those unwanted elements in the composition can be altered in a post processing environment. This idea of post processing isn't new, photographers have always manipulated images while seeking perfection. Mixed media forced me to either embrace those flaws, or start over when the work went in a direction other than my preconception. I had to reevaluate my conceptions. I now look at those marks left by the elements of chaos as a fingerprint, that isn't mine, on my work. I see it now more as a collaboration with a silent partner.
shari: WHO ARE YOUR main creative influences?
ross: It depends. When I'm teaching I like to keep the students either engaged, or at least awake, through laughter, so I'd say Andy Kaufman and Robin Williams. Photographically, I'm inspired by Elliot Erwitt's ability to tell a story with a single frame of film. Duane Michals story telling through photo sequences. Irving Penn's precision, technique and themed bodies of work, but speaking selfishly, I find the enthusiasm of my students as inspiring as the works done by those masters. If you don't feel any enthusiasm, it's hard to find motivation.
shari: DID YOU FALL INTO your personal style or was it developed over time?
ross: Funny you should ask. I don't seem to have a defined personal style. I've had many visitors to my studio ask how many artists worked on the works on my walls when all those works were my pieces. Style development might be the one class that I'm most poorly qualified to teach. Actually, pathology would be.
shari: TELL US about your favourite project to date?
ross: Right now I'm particularly fond of my closet sized Camera Obscura "Paper Portrait Sessions" project. It's a series of photographic portraits that I've been making with a walk-in closet sized Camera Obscura. The series looks at over five hundred years of photo technologies from the renaissance in the form of the Camera Obscura, to the 19th century Fox-Talbot Talbotype paper negative process, the 20th century electronic flash and the 21st century flatbed scanner.
(interview continued below the video jump)
shari: WHO IS THE ONE PERSON (or people) who supported you throughout your journey?
ross: My parents. I don't ever recall them telling me that any of my ideas were stupid. They encouraged me to explore all of my ideas. I have lots of stupid ideas but you don't know that they are stupid unless you try. …and my wife. She's figured out a way for me to explore fewer of my stupid ideas; she's my idea curator.
shari: TELL US A LITTLE (or big) something about yourself that no one knows.
ross: Well… I'm not too shabby with keeping secrets.
shari: WHAT WAS IT LIKE meeting Fred Herzog?
ross: When you know someone by reputation only and you meet that person for the first time and you spend your first few moments trying not to sound stupid and then questioning what you had just said and not listening as well as you should and speaking with run-on sentences… It was a bit like that. Trying not to sound stupid could be a full time job for me.
*a grin spreads across shari's face similar to the one the Grinch sports as she realizes she isn't the only one with little to no chill*
shari: WHO IS YOUR one dream client and why?
ross: I find it easiest when I don't have to work to the agenda of others, and when I'm given a deadline, so my dream client would be one that doesn't impose an agenda and gives me a deadline.
shari: IF YOU COULD COLLABORATE with anyone (living or dead) who would it be and why?
ross: Collaborations can be challenging because egos can block creative exchanges. Because I'm an artist that is driven by process, I'm usually more interested in observing the processes of artist that are willing to share their methods. We all have unique mindsets, points of view, hand and eye coordination and patience. Each of those qualities, and so many more, enable us to create work that is unique to every artist. I feel that every piece that I've finished started with a piece that another artist finished before me.
shari: IF YOU HAD TO PICK another career other than the one you have now what would it be and why?
ross: What exactly is a career?
shari: IF THERE WAS ONE THING you'd want people to know about you and/or your work what would it be?
ross: The work might seem random, but it makes sense to me.
shari: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE you'd like us to know? Your next project?
ross: I'm working on a spinoff project photographic project from my "Main+Hastings" ongoing series called "In Development". "Main+Hastings" is a series of panoramic digital photographic images that look at the mixed uses of buildings along those two Vancouver arteries. I limited the area that I could photograph to either Main Street or Hastings Street. I didn't photograph the actual intersection. "In Development" is not limited by geography; I'm limiting the subjects to buildings that have either a development or a rezoning application sign. For this series, I'm using expired film and making the images with cameras that I bought at thrift stores. The series looks at end of use.

CAIRO, Aug 22, 2010 (AFP) - Security cameras and alarms at the museum in Cairo from where a Van Gogh painting valued at more than 50 million dollars was stolen had been out of order "for a long time," an official said on Sunday.
"The cameras had not been working for a long time, and neither had the alarm system," the security official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that no image of the painting was therefore available.
"We don't exactly know how long they had been out of order, but it was a long time. The museum officials said they were looking for spare parts (for the security system) but hadn't managed to find them," by the time the theft took place, he said.
|AFP FILES--An Egyptian looks on March 03 1998, at one of the 30 so-called Fayyum portraits on display at the Mahmoud Khalil Museum of Modern Art in Cairo. AFP
The work identified as Poppy Flowers and valued at more than 50 million dollars, was stolen from the Mahmoud Khalil museum on Saturday, after it was cut out of its frame.
Culture Minister Farouq Hosni announced on Saturday evening that Egyptian police had arrested two Italians at Cairo airport trying to smuggle the painting out of the country.
But he later backtracked on the claim, publicly admitting that the authorities were still working to retrieve the picture and blaming a subordinate for giving "inaccurate" information.
It was not immediately clear why the Italians were arrested and whether they had been freed.
Mohsen Shaalan, the official who had said the painting was in the possession of police at Cairo airport, switched off his cellphone and could not be reached for comment.
Security officials also refused to comment on Hosni's statement. One official described the incident as "embarrassing and chaotic."
Hosni had earlier said the museum, located in the middle and upperclass district of Dokki on the Nile and which also has works by Monet, Renoir and Degas, was visited by only 10 people on Saturday.
Italy's domestic ANSA news agency, citing what it called "information gathered at the scene," said the two Italians were young and that they had visited the museum with a group of Spanish and Russian tourists.
The painting of the yellow and red flowers in a vase had been stolen before in 1977, and was returned to the museum a decade later.

Job Shadow prepares students to be entrepreneurial thinkers in their approach to work. In-class sessions prepare students for a visit to a professional work environment, where they will face a series of challenges administered by their workplace hosts. Students learn how to research career opportunities and the skills needed to land and keep their dream job.
Pupils learn that countries of the world rely on each other for their resource needs and wants. Through a trading game, enterprise challenge and discussions, pupils aim to simulate and understand the global challenges faced by nations. Through hands-on activities each week students explore STEM skills and the role they play in the future of the business world. Exploring how technology and communications are vital growth areas in the global marketplace, students examine entrepreneurship and develop their own business ideas.
Pupils are introduced to different regions and types of geography such as cities, towns, rural areas, seaside, landlocked areas, etc. In this in-depth and action packed programme, students role-play business ownership, produce a product using different methods of production, look at the costs associated with running a business, create product advertisements, and take charge of their own businesses to make a profit! It demonstrates why different types of business may establish in different regions and how government has a role as decision maker, tax collector, arbitrator and provider of services.
Padlet is like an online 'wall' or 'board' which allows students to carry out tasks for lessons and/or create their own individual ideas. It can be especially useful when doing entrepreneurial group work where students are collaborating and sharing their ideas as the board can be saved.
