Went to another movie the other day...
Ok, here's a funny story. I went to see a screening of the Punk Rock Movie, made by Don Letts at Rough Trade (London, obv) the other day, most especially because Don Letts himself was doing a Q & A afterwards and then dj-ing instore.
I thought I'd already seen this, but apparently I'd seen Punk Attitude which was a later documentary he made comprised of interviews. The Punk Rock Movie was made around '76/'77 and was a montage of scenes from gigs, the Sex shop getting in trouble with the cops, bands on tour such as the Clash & the Slits and general punk goings-on in the UK, no formal interviews, just lots of gritty footage. Unfortunately the sound was bad, but afterwards Don said that since he made it way back in the day (it was like his first movie or something, and he seemed a mixture of embarrassed and proud of it), others had gone and overlaid sound and that's why it often didn't match up with the action and was so bad etc. But, you know, it was an amazing slice of history made by one who was there, instrumental to the whole early punk thing etc etc.
Anyways, so actual movie aside I was just keen to hear Don Letts talk, and he was pretty cool luckily! I was impressed he was just so laid back and normal about it all, and his anecdotes were interesting (e.g. one woman asked him how he compared the first Rock against Racism festival to the recent one, and he said he didn't go to the first one, cos his girlfriend had just run off with Joe Strummer, and the Clash were playing so he stayed home and sulked). He also didn't do the whole "oh it was so much better in the olden days" thing, which was good, but he didn't really seem to think too much of punk today, he was more keen on dubstep etc which is probably more just about what he was into than anything else.
The lame-ness in fact came from the audience. Ok, for example, (here we go) one guy had the nerve to ask Don if he though the Slits would have benefitted from more time in the rehearsal studio, like, did they wreck their career by playing too early when they were crap – OMFG where to start with that doozy of a question. I just sunk down in my chair feeling sooo embarrassed for the dude, but luckily Don Letts was not an aggro sort of guy and just kind of tactfully said something along the lines of, no not at all, that was the "punk attitude" of the day. But I mean beyond the "punk attitude", were the Slits any crapper than the Sex Pistols or any of those other bands when they started out? Its been said a thousand times before that Sid Vicious was hardly ever even playing!! Why was that not mentioned? What about the footage of the young Billy Idol? So does that guy think that the popstar Billy bacame was a good and natural progression for a former punk-rocker or something? If the Slits had wasted time in the rehearsal studio, "punk" would've been over! The whole point was…well you know! I'm sure I don't have to explain it to death. My god, why is it not obvious that bands with women are ALWAYS just written off like this? The guy just fell straight into the trap of reading all the lazy reviews of Buzzcock-loving music critics and had obviously made up his mind that the Slits were a bit of a joke band. Was he there watching them back in the day? Maybe he was (he was sorta old), but if that's the case then how did he become so brainwashed as to be the kind of person to ask that question today? And has he seen the Slits play recently? What about the huge post punk era that they were instrumental in? The fact they inspired riot grrrl and all kinds of diy music that CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES? They certainly did not fade away to obscurity or get chucked on the one-hit wonder joke pile.
That's not all, there were other audience members who wanted Don Letts to collude with them on this whole "nothing's going on in the world of punk music these days…you know, these kids today… Green Day… etc, etc"... And my friend who was sitting next to me had to just jump up and be like, "where the hell are you going to see bands??!" cos she was one of the organisers of the highly successful (and regular I think) Scumfest this year, and also one only has to look beyond the Top 40 everyone kept inexplicably referring to, to find amazing punk/diy bands alive and kicking.
Another hilarious question someone put after I think the discussion got around to how punk was about "just going out and doing it" was something like, "but surely those bands needed to make money, how could you not live without money?" COME ON! Were these people not at Rough Trade? Were they not there to watch the PUNK ROCK movie and listen to DON LETTS? What planet were they from? What lives do they lead? gah!! I'm sure this audience was not an example of London's finest but you know, I was very very surprised.

Afro-Punk: the rock 'n' roll nigger experience
The documentary interviews various people who are black and identify as punks or are part of the punk rock scene, looking at various issues that arise for them due to that combination of factors, such as feelings of isolation, back lash from their families and black communities, inter-racial dating, their inspirations and role models and so on.
I think it's less likely you'd be the only "person of colour" at an Auckland punk or alternative show compared to what I've heard about America, I mean, I've never lived in the US, but I reckon generally Auckland is not too bad when it comes to racial diversity in most of the scenes, maybe?? Maybe it's just cos we're smaller, and so the scenes are smaller.
And that said, obviously I have been in situations where I've been like one of two "people of colour" at said punk or alternative show, but no one ever points this out, or seems to care for whatever reason, even though I notice. Plus, when I used to work in Otara I'd occasionally seen kids who take on the "punk" look and how weird that is for everyone around them, because it's seen as a "white" thing.
I think it's pretty clear that assimilation is generally assumed as the way brown people will exist in scenes populated mainly by white people, and this is annoying and insidious and hegemonic and generally boring. I'm totally interested in the situation and what this means (as you can probably tell from my latest posts to this blog!), and I was keen to watch this film to see what kind of a fuss Afro-Punks kick up in their own scenes in the States.
As you can probably guess, most people interviewed had a fairly hard time with their families accepting their mohawks or choice of music or friends or whatever, and lots got beaten up on the street in their neighbourhood, girls got called dykes and boys got called fags etc etc, and most really wanted to know more black punks cos most of their friends and girlfriends/boyfriends were white. Maybe that is all pretty obvious, but it was totally interesting, cos when do you actually get to hear these stories from the mouths of actual non-white punks? You hear a lot from white people in riot grrrl and activist and punk scenes lamenting the lack of diversity in their scenes, and taking a good look at their own racism and working for change and stuff, but very rarely do you hear from people actually experiencing being black/brown and punk. And it always annoyed me that people would go on about riot grrrl etc being a white scene cos it ignored the fact their were non-white people in those scenes making music and zines and organising shows and djing (incidentally, in the latest F-word zine, reproductive justice campaigner Loretta Ross has the same complaint about people who dismiss the Women's Movement as white and middle class, she's all like, what about the work that I did and other black women and working class women in that movement…).
Yeah, so it was cool to have those voices and opinions presented, and the only white people on the documentary were friends of the interviewees who were mainly just in the background. There's some live footage too by Bad Brains, Cipher etc, and all in all it was a pretty smoothly made documentary despite the fact it was the director's first.
The gender split amongst those interviewed was really good, and I liked that the women were dealt with as seperate individuals, not lumped together and assumed to have a shared experience because they were women (unlike for example the latest Vibe magazine – oh, maybe I'll just rant about that later).
I liked the fact the documentary wasn't all doom and gloom too, like, obviously the negatives need to be said, but it wasn't all "oh poor me" or anything, the shots of live shows and the passion of most of those interviewed and pictures of hot black kids with coloured mohawks and piercings served to present and exciting and vibrant view of what it is to identify as Afro-Punk, and I mean, punk is meant to be about adversity and politics right? It's what gives it its fuel. As a few of the interviewees said, where do people think music like this originated from? By and large, black musicians with guitars. Punk can be easily owned by black people.
There were definite problems with the doco, for example the kinds of bands the director focused on weren't very diverse and a lot weren't what I'd think of as "punk" (but probably fit into someone else's idea of punk), for example there was lots of heavy rock, and "good" singing. Plus, when the interviewees were name-checking their heroes, I don't get why X-Ray Spex wasn't mentioned? But I think probably that just kind of illustrates this film's totally American focus, and its bent towards a definition of punk as hardcore and rock, rather than riot grrrl, indie and experimental. And of course the dude making it would've totally just been focussing on bands that fit his tastes which is absolutely fair enough.
No mention was made of queer black punks, and I don't know if it's just me but I always assume queer and punk go hand in hand, but am often disappointed (like, even the feminist book Pretty In Punk only discusses queer very briefly and as a tiny phenomenon). Not that I was necessarily expecting to have the documentary also talk about how it is to be black, punk and queer (though that would be a damn interesting and important documentary for someone to make!), but I just felt that the question of inter-racial dating which was covered kind of just assumed that we were only interested in the problem for hetero couples.
Also, interestingly no mention of feminist issues was made, I have become so used to American riot grrrl critiques of the male-centric hardcore scene that I kept waiting for a commentary after each shot of men slamming their bodies around at hardcore shows, and that never came. But then actually, one of the women interviewed talked about how much fun she had slamming around to a band and ending up with bruises, and it was super refreshing just to hear her say this, and not having her being forced into focusing on her gender or being made to make broad statements about what other women might have experienced. Obviously she personally had a great time! Normally I find it suspect when issues of gender are glossed over, but then considering the amount of writing there is out there about prioritising gender over race or the possibility of combining those issues, I think the director probably purposefully didn't mention "feminism", but did a good job of including black women's perspectives.
After one of the shots of a hardcore show it was really interesting to hear the (white) kids in the audience being asked if they actually knew what the dude they were shouting along to was talking about lyrically. And most of them had a pretty good semblance of an idea, and were totally down with the fact he was singing about anti-racism and black power. But as the guy who was singing told us, he's not really singing for hardcore kids, he's singing for black people who often aren't in the audience, so it's all a slightly weird situation.
Probably the most interesting interviewee for me was Mariko Jones who was in her early twenties and was highly involved in the scene DJ-ing etc. She lived in a middle class neighbourhood, had never dated a black guy and was sometimes teased by other black people as having a Valley Girl accent. The way the documentary captured her, she seemed pretty unsure of herself, stumbling over her words, her hands twisting together when she talked – she was presented as having a lot of internal conflict. She did say some weird stuff, like she seemed to feel she needed to say she was making t shirts with the words "black is beautiful", but also how she did sort of wish she could meet a black guy but seemed to doubt he could possibly be into what she was into, and cos she wasn't putting herself out there all sexy she implied black men wouldn't really be into her.
But then later I wondered if how I percieved her on the film was more a product of what the director was "directing" me to see, due to the way he interpreted her statements rather than any "real" self-doubt on her part, after all, the whole film was made through his eyes. Perhaps Mariko Jones wasn't going through any kind of crisis at all, that was just how she was, a black girl that didn't want to be seen as "the black girl" that just hung with white people – so what? Is that a problem? Is she any less sure of her identity than the woman who talked about how she started off adopting the punk look, and then later connected this look with the way many Africans traditionally pierced themselves and cut their hair, and so began seeing the way she dressed as a way to connect with her African roots? I mean, clearly we are supposed to think that is a more intelligent and healthy identity to take on, compared to Mariko's "like, um, you know"s…(they want to make a symphony out of the sound of us swallowing our tongues) It's not as though Mariko was ashamed to be black, she was proud of it, but just maybe didn't think about it as much. But I guess you can't really tell much about people from a documentary however, perhaps Mariko really was feeling weird in the head about it all, having a conflict about "who she was". But if this is a documentary about diversity, then surely she's just another voice adding to the plethora of identities available to black people who embrace punk? This is not a criticism of the director by the way, how else can you make a film except through your own eyes? This is more just the back and forth debate I had in my head on the bus on the way home. I think the director really picked a great range of people to interview.
Anyway, something else this film got me thinking about was due to a conversation I had straight after I saw it. The guy who had brought the film to be screened clearly felt a bit uncomfortable about aspects of it, (e.g. the lack of discussion around feminist issues, no mention made of the Bad Brains' homophobia etc), and so when he asked me and my friend if we liked it, he kind of seemed to overlook my enthusiastic "hell yes!" and kind of launched into this negative thing about it, and how he found Mariko really "annoying" etc. Ok, a) if some girl who is obviously not-white and who you could possibly infer given the context is queer and feminist says she likes a film like this, surely as a white guy you could just bite your tongue and go, ok cool, this film obviously speaks to her, fills some gap, whatever and not just talk over the top of her? And b) why was Mariko annoying? Do people really find it that difficult to deal with plural identities that they can't stand it when things seem to be a little bit indefinite? When people seem to be contradictory or say things that don't seem "politically sound" (at least as you identify politically sound)? I mean, I guess I'm being unfair to this guy who I spoke to for a total of 2 min, and actually he was mainly talking to my friend cos he knew her, and, after all he had bothered to buy the film and show it to us, and was probably making some sort of apology in case we'd found it sexist and heterosexist. But I just really felt so excited and inspired by the film, not just cos of the good things about it, like the fact that finally we get to hear from black punks and see amazing footage, and build up a bit of an idea about what scenes are like in the States, but also for the questions it raised for me afterwards about identity and what the future of underground music could be and which aspects of it I want to explore. So probably I over-reacted, but that's nothing new!
I love it how you see films like this and things just start branching out from it, your thoughts on life and society and identity and yourself etc. Watch this film if you can cos it's grand, I'm very happy it was made and very grateful I could see it.

Long overdue review....
So obviously the plan was to review the bands that played at the Cherry Bomb Comics fourth birthday party last month…but unfortunately my memory of what went on is slightly hazy, not cos I was particularly drunk (thank god, that's one way to really piss myself off, get too drunk to appreciate my favourite bands or even remember the show – one day I'll tell the Lynee Breedlove in Rome story), but mainly it's cos I then moved to the UK a few days later so a lot has happened in between to make me forget all but the most salient of details, so please forgive the very vague review!
I had never seen the Wind Ups before, but had heard heaps about this Wellington band from ardent fans, they're the kind of band you hear about long before you see them I guess (unless you live in Welly) – their reputation precedes them. Apparently this was the first time they'd played in Auckland, and Cherry Bomb was lucky enough to be able to combine our party with their gig at the Wine Cellar. Rumours of their awesomeness were not wrong, and I guess this is why music reviewers write stuff down at the actual show so that they remember what to write beyond "they were cool" when it comes time for the review. Er, I didn't do that, so here's a link to their myspace page anyway, so you can have a listen . I never really trust my first impressions of a band enough to describe their sound anyway as I tend to initially get distracted by other aspects before I can really get a handle on what the music "is", but I remember thinking the lead singer Beth was refreshingly strange in her vocal delivery, lending the garage-y sound a psycho edge, and plus that there's nothing better than having a group of boys-with-good-taste dance adoringly to music made by a girls in an amazing band that you've never seen before. I missed Tank Black after that, but heard good things…Following them was Newtown, a Cherry Bomb favourite who have just made an album. Featuring two women who swap jobs on guitar and drums and vocals throughout, Newtown are the kind of band that inspires you, makes you remember you can DIY, and that love and punk combined is a beautiful thing (particularly in the song "Fetus Infetu", which is the term given to when a fetus grows inside another one – that's how close they wanna be to each other). Both members of Newtown have been in multiple bands (which is how it seems to be for most Wellingtonian musicians), but this band strikes a special chord in Cherry Bomb's heart, harking back to bygone riot grrrl days we were too young to actually experience, mixed with the shambolic, anarchic excitement of sadly missed Auckland bands such as the Sound Laydee and the other Misfit Theatre-related projects. The gig ended with the Curfew Girls, another much talked about band who I hadn't seen before (this was the 3rd time they'd played). The rumours surrounding Curfew Girls mainly related to people's apprehension at the possible chaos that could ensue given certain members of the band (haha, I'm sure they know who they are), followed by 100% positive reviews of the previous two shows. I caught the last two songs (which I was told by some of the band were their best), and there was no chaos (wasn't sure if I should be disappointed) but the music was great, and the make up of the band so – I want to use the word refreshing again, but I'm against using a word like that twice – but you get the idea. They weren't 4 boys in tight pants or whatever, thank you god, and you couldn't take your eyes off of them. Pity I probably won't see any of these bands play again, now that I'm over in the dirty old UK, but if you get the chance, you should because afterwards I'm sure you'll agree that you've actually seen something, for a change, and heard music that was new and not some fascimilied crap designed to reassure the audience they're listening to something "good".
So I guess the next instalment from me is probably gonna be something that happens in London, where I live now…X Ray Spex in September!!!

a power-play tally at 16:12 of the second period.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Kate Buesser and Kaitlin Spurling each netted a power-play goal and Christina Kessler stopped 17 shots, as the sixth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team extended its unbeaten streak to eight games with a 2-1 victory against Connecticut Tuesday evening at Bright Hockey Center. With the win, Kessler ties Ali Boe '06 for the most career victories for a Harvard goaltender with 63.
The Huskies struck first, netting a power-play goal at 2:11 of the first period. After Connecticut (8-6-4) won a faceoff in the Crimson zone, Jody Sydor played the puck from the left point to the right side, finding fellow defender Cristin Allen. Allen sent a long shot that got through Kessler for the goal. The Crimson scored its own power-play goal later in the frame, as Buesser notched her sixth goal of the year. Cori Bassett passed the puck down the left boards to Liza Ryabkina, who was camped out in the corner. Ryabkina paused for a moment before connecting a pass to Buesser in front. Buesser fought off a defender and slid the puck into the lower left side of the net at 15:44. Harvard fired the final 14 shots in net in the frame, outshooting the Huskies, 16-7, in the frame.
Late in the second period, Harvard, which improves its record to 8-3-2 overall, grabbed a 2-1 lead as Spurling netted Harvard's second-power play goal of the contest. Katharine Chute moved the puck from the lower left corner to the point and directly to Kathryn Farni's stick. Farni wound up and blasted a slap shot that was stopped by Connecticut goaltender Alexandra Garcia. However, the shot created a rebound in front of the goal and Spurling backhanded a shot into the goal at 16:12.
In the third, the Crimson, which outshot Connecticut, 37-18, for the game, enjoyed a 12-2 lead in shots on goal, as the team held off the Huskies in the final stanza. Harvard finished the game 2-for-8 on the power play and each team won 27 faceoffs.
The Crimson will enjoy a 30-day break before visiting Princeton Friday, Jan. 8 at 3 p.m.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE for winning the U.S. Open, but it sometimes seems as if one past champion feels that he should. In 1955, Jack Fleck pulled off one of the most stunning upsets in golf (and sports), beating Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff at the Olympic Club to win the U.S. Open.
Jack carries the accomplishment with both a sense of pride and burden. No, he wasn't just lucky or a fluke. Although he never won another major, Fleck came close at Cherry Hills in the 1960 U.S. Open, tying for third behind Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, an amateur at the time. He won two other events on the PGA Tour and, later, a Senior PGA Championship.
I talked to Jack yesterday and will see him later this month in Raleigh, North Carolina, when he and about a dozen other legends play in a pro-am in advance of The Rex Hospital Open, a Nationwide Tour event. It's been tremendous fun getting to know Jack and others such as Fred Hawkins, Dow Finsterwald, Billy Casper and the late Orville Moody. They have personality and the stories are great.
Now 87, Jack's game is starting to come around again after some health problems set him back last year. He told me he played pretty well a few weeks ago at the Legends of Golf − even Casper said so.
Jack said he can't wait for the rains to stop in Arkansas so he can get out and play again. That certainly sounds like Jack, the oldest former U.S. Open champion, and a player who is still working on his game.

Jack Fleck Is Still Working on His Game

I've heard you could have fried an egg on Hogan's forehead when he lost to Jack, he was so 'hot'.
Nice link to the story about Errie Ball. I had never read that before.
- The Armchair Golfer said...
Hogan was not happy about it. In fact, he really didn't want to go the extra 18 holes; he was not a fan of playoffs, especially after the accident. But Jack tells me that Hogan always treated him kindly through the years after '55.

Egyptian army to host unity talks
Dec 11, 2012, 5:53 PM EST
AFP/Getty Images
CAIRO, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Egypt's army chief will host national unity talks on Wednesday, seeking to end a growing political and economic crisis in the Arab world's most populous nation.
The meeting scheduled for 1430 GMT was called in response to a wave of protests since President Mohamed Mursi awarded himself sweeping powers on Nov. 22 to push through a new constitution shaped by his Islamist allies, which is due to go to a referendum on Saturday.
"We will not speak about politics nor about the referendum. Tomorrow we will sit together as Egyptians," armed forces chief and Defence Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said at a gathering of army and police officials on Tuesday.
Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood, which propelled him to power in a June election, were expected to attend, while the main opposition coalition said it would decide on Wednesday morning whether to participate. The opposition stayed away from an earlier reconciliation meeting called by Mursi last weekend.
Outside the presidential palace - where anti-Mursi protesters are demanding the Islamist postpone the vote on a constitution they say does not represent all Egyptians - there was scepticism tinged with some hope.
"Talks without the cancellation of the referendum - and a change to the constitution to make it a constitution for all Egyptians and not the Brotherhood - will lead to nothing and will be no more than a media show," said Ahmed Hamdy, a 35-year-old office worker.
But the fact that the army was calling such talks "is an indication to all parties that the crisis is coming to a head and that they need to end it quickly", he said.
Earlier, finance minister Mumtaz al-Said disclosed that a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan, a cornerstone of Egypt's economic recovery hopes, would be delayed until next month because of the crisis.
The delay was intended to allow time to explain a widely criticised package of economic austerity measures to the Egyptian people, Said told Reuters.
Prime Minister Hisham Kandil said the measures would not hurt the poor. Bread, sugar and rice would not be touched, but prices of cigarettes and cooking oil would go up and fines would be imposed for public littering. In a bid to rebuild consensus, he said there would be a public consultation about the programme next week.
In Washington, the IMF said Egypt had asked for the loan to be postponed "in light of the unfolding developments on the ground". The Fund stood ready to consult with Egypt on resuming discussions on the stand-by loan, a spokeswoman said.
On the streets of Cairo, thousands of opposition supporters gathered outside the presidential palace to demand that Mursi postpone Saturday's referendum.
A bigger crowd of flag-waving Islamist Mursi backers, who want the vote to go ahead as planned on Saturday, assembled at two mosques and remained on the streets as night fell over the Egyptian capital. There were also protests in Alexandria and other cities.
The extended upheaval following the fall of Hosni Mubarak last year is causing concern in the United States, which has given Cairo billions of dollars in military and other aid since Egypt made peace with Israel in 1979.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland emphasised "deep concerns" over the situation in Egypt and repeated calls on protesters to demonstrate peacefully and on security forces to act with restraint. She declined to be drawn on whether Washington believed the referendum should be postponed.
The latest unrest has so far claimed seven lives in clashes between the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the opposition. But the Republican Guard has yet to use force to keep protesters away from the presidential palace, now ringed with tanks, barbed wire and concrete barricades.

Garlic and mustard are two of our favorite things, but you will hate wild garlic mustard.
Garlic and mustard are two of our favorite things, but you will hate wild garlic mustard.
It's the season. In mid-spring, garlic mustard, the weed, appears all over. It crowds out wildflowers in our forests and infests any place there is soil. It's to the point where our parks are organizing wild-garlic pullings.
This noxious weed isn't supposed to be here. It was brought to the United States by European immigrants in the 1860s. They ate the young leaves in salads and pestos, enjoying their subtle, green-garlic flavor. The first large outbreak was recorded in 1868 on Long Island. We are still fighting it.
It's a problem, as it has no predators. Not even deer will eat it, and birds ignore its microscopic seed. The only things stopping it are humans and the heat of late June. That's when it dies off, but it has done its deed. For a 20-foot radius, it spreads thousands of seeds, almost all of which will sprout next year.
And here's the kicker: The seeds stay active in the soil for five years. Any eradication program must take this into account.
About three years ago, I noticed a new weed in my garden. That sent me to the Internet for an ID, and I was disheartened to learn it was garlic mustard. Then I knew we were in for a long war. I'm still fighting it.
The plant is erect, producing rosettes of blooms surrounded by saw-tooth leaves. The leaves smell like garlic when crushed and the roots smell like horseradish. The time to pull it is before it blooms with little white flowers.
It is easy to spot. Normally there will be hundreds in one place, or thousands. Make sure you have identified garlic mustard correctly. It is similar to Dentaria (Cardamine), home of the increasingly rare white butterfly. The females can become confused and lay eggs in garlic mustard. These plants are poisonous to caterpillars and are partly responsible for the increasing scarcity of butterflies.
Garlic mustard over 150 years has spread from Long Island throughout the East and Midwest to the Pacific. It primarily is found in forests but increasingly is crossing over to residential landscapes.
One of the best ways to eradicate is to pull by hand. Make sure you get all of the roots, as the plant will regenerate from severed ones. Pulling to halt seed production is crucial, but beware, they will return for five years in already seeded soil.
For large plots, mowing off flowering plants close to the ground can help. In dire situations, an herbicide such as Roundup is effective but will kill every plant it touches.
If you have an infestation in your neighborhood, the only way to stop it is to organize everybody and start pulling fast before the seed spreads.
Facts about garlic mustard
• Also known as: hedge garlic, sauce-alone, jack-by-the-hedge, poor man's mustard, jack-in-the-bush, garlic root, garlicwort and mustard root.
• Found in forested areas in all but 12 states. The National Park Service issues alerts on infestations.

The world-renowned experts at the OSUCCC – James are transforming the way blood cancers are prevented, detected, treated and, yes, cured.
Today, cancer is no longer solely defined by location or even by stage. We know there is no routine cancer, and there is no routine leukemia.
Leukemia is a complex disease. Each patient's leukemia is different, behaving differently in the bodies it's in and calling for a tailored, individualized treatment plan for each patient.
To deliver the most effective leukemia detection and treatment, our experts identify and understand cancer at the biologic and genetic levels, unlocking the molecular code of a patient's disease and pinpointing what makes each cancer grow — then discovering what stops it.
Our team of leukemia subspecialists spans a broad range of disciplines: from hematology and radiation oncologists to molecular and biological pathologists, genetic scientists and more — all specializing in leukemia (and only leukemia) research, prevention, detection, treatment and cure.
It's that subspecialization and singular focus that enables us to discover, develop and deliver the most targeted therapies for each individual leukemia patient.
And that means our collective expertise leads to improved outcomes, faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.

City play waiting game in bid to land Chilean?
أليكسيس سانشيز ارتبط بالانتقال لمانشستر سيتي طوال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية
With just over three weeks of the transfer window left to run, transfer speculation is intensifying – and Manchester City are rarely too far away from the gossip columns.
And this morning is no different, with the Blues understood to be playing the waiting game over the transfer of Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.
Paul Hetherington, writing in the Star, believes the Chilean forward remains firmly on City's wishlist this summer.
However, he says Arsene Wenger is adamant he will not allow his star man to leave – but insists City remain confident Sanchez wants to move to the Etihad.
"Manchester City are prepared to play the waiting game in an attempt to land top target Alexis Sanchez," Hetherington writes.
"The Arsenal forward is in the final year of his contract in North London but boss Arsene Wenger is adamant he WILL NOT be sold.
"City, though, believe Sanchez wants to join them and will leave the door open until the transfer window closes at the end of this month.
"They are still hopeful that Arsenal will decide to cash in at around £45m, rather than run the risk of losing Sanchez, 28, for nothing when his contract expires next summer.
"But Wenger has insisted Sanchez is going nowhere and the Frenchman is adamant that club owner Stan Kroenke and the rest of the board are fully behind that stubborn stance."
It's a story that has constantly re-emerged throughout the summer and it looks likely to run and run.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal and Portsmouth forward Paul Merson, now a Sky Sports pundit, has backed City to lift the Premier League trophy at the end of the season.
He believes the Blues' attacking capability, as well as the pace added to the defence this summer, means Pep Guardiola's new-look side are the team to beat in the coming campaign.
"Going forward they are very strong, and they have bought players at the back. Pep Guardiola has bought well, bought a lot of pace in the team at the back, including Kyle Walker," Merson says.
That's all for this morning's roundup. Join us again tomorrow for more of the same!

Sadly we must confirm the shooting deaths of two of our LA cranes - L8-10 and L10-10. On Monday October 10th, Sara and I responded to a report indicating someone had shot at the group of 3 whooping cranes in southern Jefferson-Davis Parish. According to an eyewitness account, two juveniles stopped on Lyons Road in between Mouton and Guidry roads south of Jennings at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 9. The eyewitness said they had shot from their truck and killed two whooping cranes.
Immediately after receiving the report Monday morning Sara and I traveled to Jefferson Davis Parish close to where Sara had observed these two birds as well as L1-10 just days before. (L1-10 was not found in the field and her current whereabouts are unknown at this time.) In collaboration with LDWF Region 5 enforcement, we searched the rice field where the eyewitness stated the event had taken place the previous afternoon. Much to our despair, L8-10 and L10-10 were discovered yards apart, dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
An agent with the USFWS was also present to help with the investigation. The birds were transferred from state custody to federal custody and will be sent to a lab where necropsies will be conducted to collect additional information and evidence in this case.
Upon further investigation, a local 16-year-old and 13-year-old boy have been told they are suspects based on the witness's description of their truck and other information provided to investigators. They haven't been arrested and no charges have been filed at this point. Additionally, they haven't been identified by name. Details regarding the crime are still being determined including whether one or both actually shot at the birds, whether a rifle or shotgun was used and whether the birds were flying or standing in a field.
There is a great deal of frustration associated with this senseless act as a tremendous amount of time, energy, emotion, and (least important), money is devoted to each of these birds. I know the frustration is felt by each of the LDWF whooping crane staff and all of those across the country that have devoted time and energy to these individual birds and the whooping crane species as a whole.
Education and outreach has always been an important component of the LA whooping crane re-introduction project. Now, more than ever, we are asking for your support in spreading the word about the cranes and how to properly identify them from the numerous other water birds in LA fields and wetlands.
We want to acknowledge and thank all those who have contacted us expressing their sadness over this event. We also want to thank the USFWS and the LDWF agents who have done a great job thus far on this case. Additionally we are incredibly grateful to the eyewitness and the neighboring landowner who reported this incident and allowed us to respond so quickly.
We are discouraged over the shooting of these two birds but we are not giving up, now we just have to work a little harder and we look forward to that with continued support from the citizens of LA and those who support this project from around the country.
Carrie and Sara

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the supportive care options, including medications, listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these as advised by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Supportive care measures may help to either prevent or reduce side effects of treatment, or to manage certain side effects once they occur. Since you can develop these symptoms from the treatment and/or from the disease itself, it is essential that you discuss them with your doctor when you notice and ask if any of these treatments are appropriate for you.
- Antibiotics
- Blood stem cell support drugs
- Blood transfusion
- Hypomethylating agents
- Immunotherapy
Common names include:
- Cefepime
- Piperacillin-tazobactum
- Vancomycin
- Amoxicillin-clavulanate
MDS that reduces white blood cell counts cause impairment of the immune system. The impairment increases the risk of infections. Most infections affect the respiratory system or skin. Though your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic for certain infections, prophylactic use of these medications is not generally done. Antibiotics can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin. In severe cases, an antibiotic can be given by IV.
Possible side effects include:
- Rash
- Low blood phosphate or potassium levels
- Diarrhea
- Itching
- Constipation
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
Blood Stem Cell Support Drugs
Common names include:
- Filgrastim (white blood cells)
- Sargramostim (white blood cells)
- Erythropoietin (red blood cells)
- Darbepoetin alfa (red blood cells)
- Oprelvekin (platelets)
During cancer treatment, blood cells can be destroyed along with cancer cells. Filgrastim and sargramostim help your bone marrow make new white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Therefore, filgrastim and sargramostim help to reduce your risk of infection. Both are taken as an injection under the skin.
Epoetin helps your bone marrow to make new red blood cells. Low red blood cell levels can lead to anemia. Therefore, epoetin helps reduce your risk of anemia. Epoetin is effective, but it has a 2 week delay between the injection and when your red blood cell count starts to come back. Epoetin is given through an IV or as an injection. Darbepoetin alfa may be given every 2-4 weeks as an injection. It is not used as a quick fix for a low red blood cell count. A blood transfusion is usually performed if you need to recover your red blood cell count more quickly.
Oprelvekin helps the bone marrow make platelets. Low platelet levels make it hard for the blood to clot. Bleeding can occur with a small cut or internally. Using oprelvekin can help reduce blood clotting time. It is given as an injection.
These medications are often combined with chemotherapy.
Possible side effects of epoetin include:
- Cough, sneezing, or sore throat
- Fever
- Swelling of face, fingers, ankles, feet, or lower legs
- Weight gain
- High blood pressure (not common)
Possible side effects of filgrastim include:
- Headache
- Pain in arms or legs
- Pain in joints or muscles
- Pain in lower back or pelvis
- Skin rash or itching
Possible side effects of oprelvekin include:
- Rash
- Nausea
- Thrush
- Shortness of breath
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Blurry vision
Blood Transfusions
MDS depletes the numbers of red and white blood cells and platelets. Blood transfusions are a way to replace cells and healthy blood cell counts. This helps with treating anemia symptoms, and improving infection control and blood clotting. Blood is given through an IV. The blood comes from a donor. Donated blood must match your blood type. Though donor and recipient blood is tested for type, you will be monitored for any signs of an adverse reaction during the transfusion.
Blood transfusions do not offer a cure, but they do improve symptoms by raising blood cell counts. Since each blood components have limited lifespans, transfusions will need to be repeated. Generally, frequent transfusions increase the likelihood of becoming resistant to future transfusions.
Possible side effects include:
- Transfusion reaction—The immune system may recognize the new cells as foreign and attack them. The risk of a reaction increases with each transfusion. Symptoms may include fever, chills, a rash back pain, blood in the urine, lightheadedness, or fainting.
- Hemochromatosis—Excess iron in the blood may cause it to be deposited in the skin and organs like the liver, heart, or pancreas. This can lead to organ damage, which may lead to heart failure or diabetes. Excess iron can be removed from the body with the deferoxamine, a chelating agent, which is given by IV.
- Infection—A single unit of blood may include transmission of hepatitis B and C, HIV, and—rarely—other blood-born infections, such as malaria. In general, the risk of transfusion-related infection is far outweighed by the benefits.
Hypomethylating Agents
The primary defect in MDS is the failure of the blood stem cell to mature and become a specific type of blood cell in a process called differentiation. Recently, it has been discovered that certain chemicals, among them anti-cancer drugs, have the ability to promote cell differentiation. Two hypomethylating agents are used in the treatment of MDS. They work on genes to slow cell growth and kill cancer cells. The drugs used are decitabine and azacytidine.
They are used to treat certain types of MDS, as well as acute myeloid leukemia. The medications are given by IV in treatment cycles to help improve bone marrow functioning and normalize blood cell counts.
Possible side effects include:
- Harm to an unborn baby—Women should not become pregnant while being treated with decitabine, and men should not father a child while receiving decitabine and for 2 months after treatment ends.
- Low red blood cell count—anemia
- Low white blood cell count—neutropenia
- Low platelet count—thrombocytopenia
- Nausea or vomiting
- Lightheadedness
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Itching and/or rash
Other substances that are being studied for use as differentiation agents include vitamin A derivatives, vitamin D3, arsenicals, and interferon type 1.
Immunotherapy is used to modify, enhance, or suppress the immune system. Thalidomide and lenalidomide are used to treat people wo have the isolated del (5q) abnormality type of MDS. Thalidomide has been used longer, but lenalidomide has better success with fewer side effects. These drugs increase red blood cell counts and help with bone marrow function. Thalidomide and lenalidomide are taken by mouth.
Possible side effects include:
- Severe, life-threatening birth defects or death of an unborn baby—Because lenalidomide is chemically similar to thalidomide, female patients must not get pregnant 4 weeks before treatment, must not take lenalidomide during pregnancy, and must not take the medication 4 weeks after pregnancy.
- Low white blood cell count
- Low platelet count
- Blood clots in the veins and lungs
- Diarrhea
- Itching
- Rash
- Fatigue
Anti-thymocite globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine have been useful in treating some people with MDS, especially ones who are younger. These drugs suppress the body's immune response to specific types of white blood cells. Both drugs can be taken by mouth, but cyclosporine can also be given through an IV.
Possible side effects of ATG include:
- Serious allergic reaction
- Low blood pressure
- Difficulty breathing
- Fever
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
- Muscle aches
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
Possible side effects of cyclosporine include:
- Headache
- Fever
- Nausea or vomiting
- Increase in blood pressure
- Hair growth
- Gum enlargement
- Numbness or tingling
General Information about Medications
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Do not share your prescription medication.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills as needed.

6. David Holmberg, lhp, Bristol (White Sox)
Six-foot-4 and a bit soft-bodied, Holmberg has room to grow stronger and improve upon his present high-80s velocity. He sits at 86-88 mph and touches 90 from a straight overhand delivery, which aids him in getting good plane to the plate. Quick hand speed enables Holmberg to spin quality 12-to-6 curveballs with above-average break and depth. He mixes in a plus changeup and throws an occasional slider. His secondary stuff and precocious feel for locating his pitches and for changing speeds marks him as a future mid-rotation candidate, particularly if he adds a few ticks to his fastball.
11. Trayce Thompson, of, Bristol (White Sox)
15. Santos Rodriguez, lhp, Bristol (White Sox)
Rodriguez features a plus-plus fastball during most outings, topping out at 97 mph and sitting at 95 with late movement. The pitch features incredible plane by virtue of his 6-foot-5 height, and Appy Leaguers struggled to lift the pitch, going homerless during his 27 innings. He throws a changeup with above-average arm speed that neutralizes righthanders. Despite his arm strength, Rodriguez still walks too many batters to rank as a surefire relief prospect, though his control improved as the season progressed. He also doesn't have a usable breaking ball at this point, as his slider doesn't consistently show enough tilt to be graded even as fringe-average.

The Luik triplets have already encountered some strange looks at the Olympics.
The Estonian sisters, who will compete in the women's marathon, say they have gotten some "funny faces" from security guards who believe they have already waved one of them into the athletes village.
On Sunday, Olympic spectators will face the challenge of trying to tell the 30-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed sisters apart from afar.
Their coach, Harry Lemberg, had some advice for those who can't read the bibs.
"I think the first part of the race, Leila and Lily run together," Lemberg said. "After 25-30 kilometers they follow together or see who is (to) go in front ... I think Liina (will be) a little bit behind."
While the Olympics have seen twins competing together, triplets are a first, according to Olympic historian Bill Mallon, who keeps a database of athletes.
According to Lily, it is Leila who is "maybe the toughest" of the trio.
But Liina is the easiest to spot when her arms aren't covered because she has a three-swan tattoo which, naturally, symbolizes the three of them.
"It's an amazing feeling, I think it's better to run with sisters," Liina said. "I feel good support, a mentally good vibe and good energy from my sisters also.
"I think I have two supporters in the race. We are supporting each other very much and I think we feel that kind of energy with each other."
The Luiks, from the medieval city of Tartu, only turned pro at the relatively late age of 24.
"We saw that we can't now ... do the shorter distances, to do so much speed work," Leila said. "We love to be (with) nature or do the long training and we love running. Because of (that) we decided to do marathon running."
The dream would be finishing on the podium together in Rio de Janeiro but they know that is unlikely.
"We are happy," Leila said, "if we finish together."

In Gentzen's sequent calculus, a formal proof is described by a tree, with each node representing the sequent obtained from the child(ren) by applying a given inference rule.
If no inference rule has more than one premise, such a tree becomes a sequence: in a 1957 paper, Craig devised Linear Reasoning to pursue such an idea; an evolution of this approach (seemingly related to Craig's famous interpolation theorem, by the way) is exposed in the standard First-Order Logic textbook by Smullyan (chapter XVII in my edition).
The corresponding theorems, however, pose various restrictions: for example, on the form of the sentences involved.
Is linear reasoning possible in more general cases?
For example, is there a sequent calculus giving linear proofs and being simultaneously complete (and sound, of course) for classical first order logic? Or, on the contrary, is there some result limiting similar ambitions?
P.S.: I know about deep inference, so let us restrict to `standard' sequent calculi.
When faced with the task of formalizing sequent calculus on a set theoretical proof assistant (Mizar), I felt trees would have been not so easy to actually work with, so I devised alternative frameworks. It worked, in the sense that one can manage not to ever mention trees and still carry on a great deal of results; however, they are still morally there, hence the question arose naturally.

All the talk of tapering has caused mortgage rates to jump again, during a week that saw a pronounced move higher in Treasury yields. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate rose to 4.58% in the past week, the highest level since July 2011, according to Freddie Mac's (FMCC) latest weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey out this morning, and up from 4.40% each of the previous two weeks. The rate has spiked from 3.35% in early May, which had nearly matched the all-time low of 3.31% seen last November.
"Fixed mortgage rates continued to follow bond yields higher leading up to the August 21st release of the Federal Reserve monetary policy committee's minutes for July," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's chief economist, in a statement. "In its July 30th and 31st meetings, the committee members were broadly comfortable with a plan to start reducing its bond purchases later this year, although a few emphasized the importance of being patient. Meeting participants acknowledged mortgage rate increases might restrain housing market activity, but several members expressed confidence the housing recovery would be resilient in the face of higher rates."
The average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate rose to 3.60% from 3.44%, a week earlier and from an all-time low 2.56% in early May.
A similar 30-year mortgage rate measured by the Mortgage Bankers Association's latest weekly survey rose to 4.68% from 4.56% a week earlier. That survey also showed mortgage applications dropped by 4.6% last week. (taken from Barrons.com)
