Woman strangles rabid fox attacking her in Pittsgrove
PITTSGROVE, N.J. (WTXF) - A woman trying to fend off a rabid fox that was biting her in the leg reached down with one hand to hold shut its mouth and with the other strangled it.
"It was just gnawing at my calf sideways," said Tammy DuBois as she describes a ferocious fight with a fox. The story is so bizarre it's almost unreal until she shows me her battle scars.
"It's going away but it pounced on me here and then I backed up and when I was backing up it came around and got me here."
It happened last Wednesday morning. Tammy was in the front yard of her Pittsgrove home on Almond Road checking on her birdfeeders when a fox darted out of the bushes.
"When it jumped on me it was going yup-yup-yup-yup. That's what they make they go yup-yup-yup-yup and then it's mouth was just constantly moving."
She says she tried to back away but it became even more aggressive.
"After it bit me once and it came after me and I was bleeding I figured it had rabies."
Tammy says she ran onto the porch but the fox followed and continued to bite her. So she did the unthinkable.
"I just grabbed its snout and I grabbed its neck and I went squeezing it and squeezing it. Then I threw it over here off of the porch," she said. Tammy's husband rushed home to take her to the hospital. Animal Control arrived and says they found the fox dead under the front porch.
"I was like help, help and nobody was around. I just didn't know what to do so I was like I guess I just have to take care of myself and do what I have to do," she said.
Animal Control tells FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson the State Health Department in Trenton confirmed Monday that the fox tested positive for rabies. When FOX 29 talked to Tammy Wednesday evening she was just getting home from her second of a series of rabies shots she'll have to get.

3 Friends Dead, 1 Injured In Suspected Suicide Pact In Rajasthan
Three friends died and another one was injured after they allegedly jumped before a moving train in a suspected suicide pact in Rajasthan's Alwar district, police said today.
Police sources said primary probe revealed that they were depressed due to unemployment but the exact reason for the suicide was yet to be ascertained.
Two friends of the men told the police that the six of them were near railways tracks on November 20 evening when they decided to commit suicide.
While Manoj (24), Satyanarayan Meena (22) and Rituraj Meena (17) died by jumping before the train, Abhishek Meena (22) was injured, the police said said.
Rahul and Santosh chose not to jump before the train, they said.
"There is more than one version about the incident and we are probing the matter. Anything concrete can be said only after the investigation is over," police officer in Alwar Rajendra Singh said.
Another police official said the men were depressed as they were unemployed.
"One of the boys who did not jump said that he was called by Satyanarayan Meena near the railway tracks on November 20 evening," the police official said.
"They told him that they were going to commit suicide because they were depressed and unemployment was the main reason. However, the matter is being probed to ascertain more details," the official added.
While, Manoj and Satyanaran were graduates and were preparing for competitive exams, Rituraj was a BA first-year student.
The injured boy was admitted to a hospital in Jaipur, the police said.

Kikkan Randall is on the US Ski Team and skis for Salomon Athlete Force - Salomon Boots and Bindings
What a week it was in Liberec!! Four races, a bunch of personal bests and the grand daddy of it all, a World Championship Silver Medal!!
When I wrote my goals down in my log book at the end of last season, my top goal pretty much took my breath away. "Win a World Championship Medal." It was going to be a big undertaking, and a little bit of a leap of faith, but somehow, I knew a worthwhile pursuit.
The road to Liberec was not quite as I had anticipated it would be. After getting some top results last season, I was starting to gain confidence that I could be a medal threat at this year's World Championships. But then I got a blood clot, and for a short while, I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to ski race again. Fortunately, I was able to get back on my skis. It was a tough road to come back however, physically and mentally. By the start of the race season, I thought I was on track. Yet, the results didn't show it. It took me half the season to find my racing form. It was hard at times to stay confident, knowing such a great opportunity was rapidly approaching and yet feeling so far from being prepared. It wasn't until three weeks ago that I really started to feel race ready. Just in the nick of time!
Finally, after my A-final appearance in Valdidentro, I headed into the World Championships with a good feeling. It was a cautious good feeling. While my racing shape was finally coming around, the same would be true for all of the world's best skiers. It was going to be a fight for the medals!
10km Classic
My first race was the 10km classic. Despite some tricky waxing conditions, my skis ran well and my body felt fresh. I started more aggressive than usual and felt strong through the whole race. As I made my way around for lap #2, the last of the red group were starting. I got to chase Marit Bjorgen up one of the big climbs, with the coaches screaming encouragement, and tried my best to hang with Virpi Kuitinen over my last 2km. I ended up 26th place for my best-ever major championship distance race finish. Another confidence booster.
I got a couple days off from racing before the sprint. There was no lull in action however, as the other American athletes began their assault on the medal count. Kris Freeman skied a great race in the 15km classic, just missing out on the bronze medal by 1.3 seconds. Later that day, USA's Lindsey Van won the first ever women's ski jumping World Championship gold and Todd Lodwick won gold in the men's Nordic Combined. I attended that evening's medal ceremonies, where I got to hear the national anthem played twice and watch the glow on the faces of those standing on the podium. I wanted my shot at that! By the end of the day, the US was leading the medal count, the unthinkable was happening!
The Sprint
At last came the sprint day, my day. I had a great pre-race workout with my coach Erik Flora the day before, and the confidence was high. Even a little battle with shingles wasn't slowing me down. I had to eat my breakfast a little slowly that morning to keep the butterflies in my stomach at bay, and my legs were definitely playing tricks on me in the warm-up. Once I got on course, however, everything felt right. I skied to a solid 7th place in qualifying.
Once I got into the rounds I decided my strategy would be to try and race from the front, to control the pace and stay out of trouble. The strategy worked well, and I felt strong leading both the quarters and the semi's. With each race, the pressure actually seemed to lift off and by the A final I was just ready to go out and ski as hard as I could.
In the A final, I missed my first pole plant but was able to take the lead going up the hill out of the stadium and controlled the race from there. When I was still leading up the final climb, I tried not to think about anything except getting to the finish line as fast as I could. Italy's Arianna Follis tried to get around me on the final corner and I challenged her for a few strides. As we hit the final 100m however, my legs were definitely beginning to lock up and she started to pull away. I fought with everything I had left and when I felt Pirjo Muranen come up beside me, I fought a little harder and then lunged for the line.
For a couple minutes, we didn't know who won silver or bronze. I hoped it was silver, but either way, I knew I was getting a World Championships medal, something I had only dared to dream about. In the end, it was indeed silver, and oh so sweet! A whirlwind would immediately ensue. After catching my breath, several hugs and high fives, I made my way through the media maze to where Jeff (Editor's Note: Kikkan is married as of recently to Jeff Ellis - former Canadian Elite skier) and Erik were patiently waiting. A big hug from my husband, and then my coach, made it all sink in. We had done it!! We had a brief moment to savor, and then I was whisked away to the flower ceremony, press conference, doping control and quick picture with the medal.
That night I got to take my turn on the medal plaza stage. It was incredible. Many thoughts were racing through my mind. I remembered where I was just 10 months earlier, sitting in a hospital bed, wondering if I would be able to ski race again. I thought about all the people that had helped me get to this podium, and wished I could have them all up there on stage with me. The medal was placed around my neck and the flags were raised. The fireworks blasted off above us. These are the moments we dedicate our lives to.
The team did a great job of celebrating our first cross-country medal since 1982 (before I was born). We had a couple champagne toasts and then it was time to turn our focus back to the races that lay ahead. This was one day of three consecutive races for me. I was glad to have another race to look forward to already.
Team Sprint
The next race was the team sprint, classic. Laura Valaas and I teamed up in the second semi-final heat. The pace was furious from the start and we tried desperately to hang on. I was a little bit worn out from the day before, but found better form every lap. Unfortunately, we were just out of reach of the pack ahead and finished a few seconds out of advancing to the finals. This is definitely an event were still trying to learn and develop for the future. Two down, one to go.
4x5km Relay
Outside of the individual sprint, I was next most excited about the relay. We have a pretty young team on the women's side right now (I'm the oldest at 26 and still young), with lots of potential for the future. This would be a chance to get our feet wet and start building confidence for 2010 and beyond. I skied the lead off leg - 5km classic. Once again, the pace was furious from the start. I sprinted hard to keep myself in there and came through the lap with a chase pack of three other skiers, about 10 seconds back from the leading four teams. Going up the big climb midway through the lap, I felt really strong and ran by the skiers I was with. It felt incredible to be able to make such an aggressive move and it kept me gunning the rest of the way. I tagged off in sixth place, 27 seconds off the leader. It was by far my best ever relay start! Morgan Arritola skied a strong second leg and tagged off to Liz Stephen, who skied the 8th fastest on her skate leg. We were hanging strong for a top 10 finish until our last leg. Unfortunately our anchor, Caitlin Compton, didn't have her usual magic and we dropped down to 14th. While our final result was not what we wanted, the day was a success. Lots of good confidence and experience gained!
The Conclusion
Wham bam, and just like that, another World Championships was done. There were still a few days of racing to watch, and I enjoyed cheering on my teammates in the men's relay, women's 30km and men's 50km. Liz and Morgan both capped off fantastic championship showings with top 25 finishes in the 30km, making us all really fired up for the future of the women's team. US Nordic Combined racer Billy Demong bounced back from a misfortune in the team event to win his first World Championship gold and together we all celebrated the most successful week in US Nordic history at the medal ceremony on the final night.
Just like after my win in Rybinsk last year, it has been so moving to hear congratulations from everyone, and also to hear about the positive energy that is swelling up all over the country for our sport. I guess that is what makes all of this so special for me. While it can only be me out there on the snow during the race, having everyone along as part of the journey, through the highs and the lows, really makes this a full life experience. Thank you for being part of this silver medal!
The Championships are done, but the season is far from over. On Monday I left Liberec and headed to Lahti, Finland with the US team. Unfortunately, I picked up a cold before leaving and have spent the last few days laying low. My body probably needed a break after so much excitement! I hope to come around in time for this weekend's skate sprint and 10km free. After Finland, we'll spend a week in Norway and a week in Sweden, before heading back to Fairbanks, AK for US Distance Nationals.
A few weeks of racing left... time to make the most of it!
Kikkan :)

Pierre Julien
Purple Haze
January 9 to February 13, 2016
A genuine magnetism radiates from the works of Pierre Julien. Once we begin to look carefully, it becomes hard to turn away. This visual attraction is the optical product of color radiations that give a sense of animated movement to the pictorial space. Abstract and economical, and sometimes installation-based and monumental, his painting explores the broad potentiality of our perception of color. Oscillating between evanescence and tangibility, the works deriving from this artistic proposition essentially dwell on the effects of gradation, repetition and derivation.
Pastel and clear in hue, these colors mix and merge one into another. The smooth, unblemished surfaces are covered with lyrical forms that hypnotize the spectator's attention, while the subtlety and pallor of the color variations confer a luminosity that adds to our perception of three-dimensional relief in the surface. This visual density creates dynamic relationships within which ambiguous forms vibrate strongly off of one another. The illusory, pulsating movement we see may in fact be perceived differently from person to person as a result of the numerous ways that different people's brains will interpret the signals each eye sees. Oscillating movement achieved by simultaneous color contrast turns figure into ground and vice versa as we look.
These vertiginous impressions are even stronger in the large paintings. The viewer becomes immersed in the representation and will tend to feel a strong desire to move around the gallery space in order to fully experience the effects of the work. Even though what we perceive is in fact two-dimensional, these pictorial spaces seem to move, to grow and then narrow, twist and then retreat.
This tendency towards playing with optical effects has long interested Julien and can be found in work from previous series. His practice grows out of and attempts to contemporize Op Art, incorporating cosmopolitan influences from the worlds of design, advertising, fashion and pop culture in general. The exhibition title, Purple Haze, is borrowed from a song by Jimmy Hendrix and immediately brings to mind the surreal psychedelic language of the exhibited works. The ambiance that the spectator is plunged into approaches a hallucinatory, oneiric state where the paintings' imagery transforms into camouflage motifs, pastoral landscapes, even recalling the Aurora Borealis. Pierre Julien's work invites us to enter this world of mutating visual and physical experience, which exists in a different realm to that of everyday life. He offers us another kind of perception of the real, a space where the eye can lose itself in the contemplation of an impalpable materiality.

Led by Anna Sullivan, this project is a film critiquing water waste and use in everyday tasks. For instance, washing your car, watering your lawn, taking a bath, washing dishes, etc. Her film critiques this idea by poking at people's nerves with images of running a dishwasher with just one plate and cup, turning a faucet on and then walking away, flushing a toilet over and over again, washing a car with water from plastic gallon jugs, as well as filling a bathtub only to then immediately drain it. She hopes to strike a nerve with people by playing up the absurdity and showing them how daily water use from a first world perspective is sometimes superficial and incredibly wasteful.

Sites and software licensing agreements using an "I accept" button may be problematic when the Electronic Transactions Bill becomes law early next year.
Phillip Argy, Mallesons Stephens Jacques partner and electronic law specialist, said users could argue that the 'I accept' agreements are invalid if they can show they were unaware of what they accepted. He was speaking to delegates at the Internet World conference in Sydney yesterday.
He said the new law will recognise a variety of electronic 'signatures' on agreements so long as the person making the signature is identifiable and there is an adequate way to indicate that person's approval. "Online you have to ensure that the context in which someone agrees is appropriate," he said.
Argy said that in many standard online and software agreements, users are expected to read a page of conditions and then click on an 'I accept' button. However, in many cases users can simply "buffer the return key" and bypass agreements without acknowledging their existence or actually reading their contents. Then, if there is a dispute, they can argue they were unaware of the conditions.
He said: "The onus is on site owners and software developers to prove that their customers know that there is an agreement -- they don't have to actually read it, they just need to know it is there."
He said that this problem can be avoided if developers ensure that the 'I accept' button doesn't activate until the customer has at least scrolled down part of the conditions document.

Receiver for Jupiter
Estimation of antenna temperature
To estimate antenna temperature one should know the power at antenna terminals. For this, a simple experiment is carried out using the spectrum analyzer and Low noise RF amplifier. The low noise RF amplifier in front of spectrum analyzer reduces the noise temperature of the receiving system, and then with this the estimated system temperature is mainly conributed by antenna temperature.
Fig: - Antenna temperature measurement setup
The RF amplifier used here is actually two cascaded stages of J310 amplifier used in jove receiver. The amplifier has gain of 18dB and noise figure of 3.71dB. Spectrum analyzer usually has high noise figure of the order of 20dB.
Let's assume the spectrum analyzer noise figure of 25dB. Then the overall receiving system (as shown in figure) will have the noise figure of 8.66dB. This will lead to noise temperature of 1840.1 Kelvin@ 290Kelvin. Thus the main cotributor to the system temperature in this setup will be the antenna itself!
It is observed that the Noise floor seen on spectrum analyzer is typically -94dBm.
So considering the 18dB gain of low noise amplifier in front of the spectrum analyzer,
power at antenna terminals = -94-18 = -112dBm = 6.3 x 10^-15 Watt.
Equating power to K*T*B we get,
Tsys= P/(K*B)= 0.152 x 10^6 Kelvin= 0.152 Million Kelvin.
Since the contribution to system temperature by the receiver
is much less (~1800 Kelvin). so the system temperature can be approximated
as antenna temperature at 20.1MHz.
Tant=0.152 Million Kelvin.
The antenna temperature of 0.152 Million Kelvin is high, typically galactic background contribution to antenna temperature can be 50000 Kelvin. The high temperature of 0.152 Million Kelvin suggest some local noise causing increase in temperature. With this temperature one can receive only strong bursts of Jupiter. As for 10^6 Jansky Jupiter bursts power at antenna terminals will be -115dBm, still 3dB less than the antenna noise!
The proper way to measure antenna tempearture is the use of the noise sourses. So the above method will give a rough estimate.

5Q: Emma Lievens, Engineering co-op student
Latest News
March 2, 2018
Emma is an Electromechanics exchange student from Thomas More College in Belgium.
1. What's a typical day at CanAssist for you like?
I don't typically have a day planned. Just last week, for example, I finished installing software on and assembling more than a hundred iPad kits for the Choices2Go project. This week I'm researching ideas for a switch-accessible name-stamper for an 11-year-old boy who experiences physical and verbal challenges.
2. What drew you to CanAssist?
I am taking an engineering program at Thomas More called "Socially Ingenious," but to get credit for it, I have to do my internship in an organization that focuses on creating technologies for people with disabilities. After asking my professor, Jan Dekelver, for ideas where to do my internship, he told me all about CanAssist and put me in touch with Paul [Green]. I really like working here!
3. Tell us more about your "Socially Ingenious" program.
In my first year, my classmates and I designed a pouring device to help people with Parkinson's disease pour their drinks without spilling. It also removes the need to hold a bottle for too long. In my second year, we developed a device that gently rocks a person to sleep. The device is then placed under a hospital bed, and is for people who have trouble sleeping. We started this project because we noticed that some people with dementia have trouble sleeping, and if they are slightly rocked, they would sleep better.
4. What are your plans after graduation?
I am hoping to start my master's degree in mechanical engineering.
5. Tell us about your favorite pastimes/activities.
I have been playing basketball since I was five years old, so I really like doing that. I also love reading and watching TV.

Yoga Trees
What's the big idea?
Welcome! We're celebrating yoga practice by making the world a greener place.
It's a simple idea. Each month, we'll plant one tree for each of the top 5 consistent practitioners in your yoga center.
That's 5 trees a month :).
But why is this needed?
Lemme introduce myself first: I'm Vaidy. A co-founder at Good Karma.
Here's my personal story: I struggled for years to stay consistent in my own yoga practice. It was only in my 5th attempt - and after 8 years of trying, failing, giving up, trying again, failing again, giving up again..that I finally was able to get into the groove of the practice.
It felt like a lonely journey. I was lucky to find some great teachers who were so patient and compassionate with me.
But that took 8 years of my life away!
My team and I started Good Karma to help yoga practitioners like myself - to stay motivated and grow with consistent practice. To always be able to see light at the end of the tunnel. To know that you're not alone in this journey.
And as we grow, why not also make the planet greener? By planting trees to celebrate our individual success?
That's what this project is about.
Who's going to be involved?
Today, there are 3 parties involved:
Good Karma - We're responsible for all of funding and the logistics of the whole event. As mentioned above, we will also be using the Good Karma app to decide the winners for each month.
The Yoga Center's Founders - we need your thumbs up to make this happen
The members at the yoga center - The more consistent you are, the higher the chances of getting a tree planted in your name.
In the not too distant future, we'll also have one more party:
A non-profit organization - that specializes in planting trees. This will help us to ensure that we can continue to do this activity for a long time to come.
Where will the trees be planted?
At this time, we've shortlisted KR Park in Basavanagudi, Bangalore to plant the trees.
We're constantly scouting around for more locations both in Bangalore and across India.
We ask the following key question before finalizing on a location:
How well will the trees be taken care of, after we're done planting it?
Will they be watered well?
Will they be safeguarded from miscreants, who damage public property?
Will they be protected against diseases?
Are they placed in a location, where the public can take comfort in their shade?
Are there likely to be a good density of trees in the same location - so it becomes a mini-forest over time?
When will the trees be planted?
This will be done between the 5th and 15th of each month. We'll be celebrating the top practitioners from the last month.
So, for example, we'll be planting 5 trees between November 1st and 15th - for the most consistent practitioners in October.
How does it exactly work?
Here's how it works:
All of your practitioner check-in data is safely stored in Good Karma. GK also allows us to easily generate a report that bubbles up the top 5 practitioners for each month.
Once we have the top 5 names, we'll invite each practitioner and all of the teachers at the yoga center for the tree planting event. The invitation will be sent on the 1st of each month.
We'll decide on a mutually acceptable date and location for the planting event. This will happen by the 4th of each month.
Good Karma will procure the saplings. And we'll plant the trees together on the scheduled date.
We'll take lots of pictures of the event.
Good Karma will create a poster of the event with the pictures and share it with all practitioners at the studio.
We'll also send a printed version of the poster to the yoga center. So that you can put up the poster on your noticeboard :)

It was a raw, windy day at Hammo but we put up the additional martin houses at Chase Pond, changed out the cables, added some roosting posts, general maintenance to get the houses ready for occupancy, finally. We were able to add the new floor of apartments at the Nature Center site...but after 3 hours, we decided to call it quits and finish another day. Thanks to Olivia, a Clinton high school junior who is interested in helping out with the martins this summer. She was a great help today, giving up a day of her school vacation to help the birds.

Are you sick of looking at the ingredients in your protein bar and being unable to pronounce them? If your answer is yes, I highly suggest checking out RXBAR! Produced locally here in Chicago, the protein bar is predominantly made up of egg whites, fruits, and nuts. It is also free of gluten, soy, dairy, and GMOs - all things I prefer to avoid.
Whenever possible I enjoy eating a meal, but my busy schedule does not allow for utensils 3x a day. Although I'm a huge fan of protein shakes and juices…sometimes I just need to chew! RXBAR currently offers seven flavors (the Pumpkin Spice is a limited-edition) that I would categorize into chocolate, fruit, and peanut butter. I am a huge fan of the Coconut Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice, and Chocolate Sea Salt. Their other flavors include: Peanut Butter, Apple Cinnamon, Coffee Chocolate, and Blueberry. The bars come in around 200 calories and contain a healthy amount of fat to keep you satisfied until your next feeding.
Where can you find an RXBAR? There are currently 1,671 places to pick up one of these bars across the US. However, if you are not located near one of these places...they ship! They also offer a 100% refund if you are unhappy with your order - so what do you have to lose? Please check out their website for more information. With their...one-of-a-kind promise: No B.S. Loud and clear...I assure they will not disappoint.

Off Track: The most famous Super Bowl ad
We will remember Super Bowl LI as a classic. The first overtime game and the greatest comeback.
But many wait for all the Super Bowl advertisements. There have been some memorable ones, but there is one that remains the most famous Super Bowl ad.
"1984" is an American television commercial which introduced the Apple Macintosh personal computer for the first time. Until then, PCs dominated the business marker with Apple machines being used in elementary schools and for primitive gaming. It was shown on commercial television on twice – on Super Bowl day and a late night viewing to qualify it for awards that year.

A Tragic animal
An interview with john congleton
Interviewed by Mandy Grathwohl
John Congleton is a Grammy Award-winning music producer and occasional musician, having most recently released Until the Horror Goes with his new project, John Congleton and the Nighty Nite. Albums he's produced include St. Vincent's Grammy-winning St. Vincent, Explosions in the Sky's The Wilderness, Wild Beasts' Boy King, and more. You can find John on Twitter at @congletonjohn and Facebook at @johncongletonandthenightynite. The website for Elmwood Recording, Congleton's studio, can be found at www.elmwoodrecording.com.
TMR: In your Sound on Sound interview, you talked about Curvejob, one of the bands you were in when you were a teenager. The band recorded with Sam McCall, and you said about two years after that, you were already recording bands as a producer. Can you tell us how you went from wanting to be a producer/engineer to actually being one?
JC: When I got to record with a band, going through that experience was automatically something that clicked with me. It felt like a place that I wanted to be, as opposed to more of a straight job, or playing music that I didn't like for a living, or trying to somehow shoehorn my artistic sentiment into something that would appeal to enough people that I could eek out a living. Those sorts of things weren't appealing to me.
You have to remember, this is the early 90s, so not every Tom, Dick, and Harry had ProTools in their dorm room. Nowadays the magic of recording yourself and playing it back to you is definitely taken for granted because it's so easy to do that. Back in those days, to find a studio, pay for it, get your band in there, and get a multitrack recording of your band - that was pretty intense, and it was kind of a privilege. Not a lot of bands got to record in that capacity.
I was just immediately captivated by the process. Basically from that point on I immediately started devouring books and periodicals about recording, trying to learn everything I possibly could. I was so fascinated by it. I started listening to records in different ways. That put me on the path, and I never really derailed from that path from that point on.
TMR: So essentially, you started out self-taught, but did you go to school for something related to that?
JC: I did go to school for music, but I only went for two years, and then I dropped out.
I dropped out for, essentially, two reasons: one, my grades weren't any good because I was recording people on my own, and two, going to school for music kind of robbed me of my childlike wonderment of it all, the mystery. It took that away for me. My career and my life in music, I've constantly tried to hold on to that sort of mystery. That's pretty hard when you do it every day.
I think on a cerebral, intellectual level, you can enjoy music in a different way, but to me that's like enjoying physics. It is fascinating, and it is interesting to watch the rules work, but at the end of the day, the way something moves us, there's no good or bad reason it moves us. That's where the mystery lies. That's when I get interested in music: the thing that you can't quite quantify.
TMR: You spend most of your time doing production work. The Dallas Observer intimates that, until this year, you hadn't released new music for four years. With this in mind, would you say that you always want your songs to become something tangible, after you write them?
JC: Until you play a song for other people, it is kind of a phantom. It is almost a dream, almost like it doesn't exist - to me. The actual experience of writing something and putting it together is one thing. But then the experience of playing that for somebody else is completely different.
I've always found that, even with something I'm producing, if I need to get a new perspective on something I've been working on, all I have to do is play it for somebody else -- and I don't even need to hear their opinion. It's just the experience of being in the room and feeling that energy of somebody else, listening to the work, that always shows me what's wrong with it, or what's bullshit about it, or what's false. Sometimes what's good about it. But normally, what's cowardly about it is revealed when I'm listening to it with somebody else.
I wish I could sound like a brave artist who doesn't care if no one ever hears anything I do -- that's not quite how I feel. I do want it out there, because it feels real, then, to me. I think that one of the things that compels us all to make art is the fact that we're going to die. There is an hourglass that is sitting there all the time, and there is a finite amount of time you have to get something across, as an artist, when you're alive. What motivates us is the grim reaper, sometimes, so you want to get it out there.
one of the things that compels us all to make art is the fact that we're going to die.
For example, if I died, there's a good twenty songs that nobody's ever heard that I have sitting there, that I just haven't completed in some sort of a formation to play for somebody else. It's almost like that stuff doesn't exist, if it doesn't get into somebody else's brain. And that's a spooky thought.
TMR: You said you can tell what's cowardly about a song -- what did you mean by that?
JC: I have this belief that you pretty much always know, deep down, how something should be, artistically. You have all of these weird filters and compromises and devices in your brain that convince you that the work is "okay," or worse; sometimes you have more external factors, like what you think your audience would think of it.
The artist asks, "How will this be interpreted?" and other sorts of things. Those are all very cowardly things when you're just trying to make something honest. When I say cowardly I don't necessarily mean dishonest, but if you're taking the easy way out artistically, or if you're doing something pandering, or if you're doing something that's not bold because you don't want to offend anybody -- that's cowardly to me.
When you live in the real world of making music for a living, that shit comes up a lot. You make a record and it goes through a process of deliberation with people who aren't even artistic, who maybe financed the record or manage the band. You get a lot of people who want to put their opinions in, and if you're not sure about the material, that can really shake you. Or once the record's out, maybe it gets bad reviews, or maybe the audience doesn't like it as much. If you're not sure about the material, that shit will bug you. But if you're sure about the material, if it's an honest expression of who you are artistically, that shit won't get to you. It might frustrate you, because it's not getting across, but if you're sure of the material and you know that you did your best, you're immune.
TMR: Someone stated during your AMA that you formed The Paper Chase to fight against panic attacks. Can you talk about that? Why you did it, and how it helped you be more brave?
JC: There's an interview I did a zillion years ago, where the guy who interviewed me had some sort of panic disorder - we were slightly kindred spirits in that way - so the whole article was sort of hinging on that. We basically just talked about that, and in that interview I said that it was therapy for me, to make this very ugly music that expressed my id, the things that I don't want to necessarily show to the people I love -- my ruminations, my dark impulses. It's like I'm just trying to filter that through art, rather than hurt the people I love and care about.
I basically said that it was a therapy for my panic attacks. That's a real oversimplification, and I certainly didn't form the band just for that. I started the band because I wanted to be in a band. The music I wrote was informed by me as a human, and at that point in my life - which was quite some time ago - I was a pretty panic-stricken asshole.
TMR: You said you wanted to protect the people you love and care about - what did you mean by that?
JC: I think that more than anything else, music has been a positive thing in my life. It is therapy. Being somebody who believes a lot in the therapeutic process, the whole reason why you go to therapy, the whole reason why you try to become a better person - other than the fact that it just makes you feel better - is that you want to try to not hurt the people that you love. And when you suck at being a person, you hurt yourself, but you really hurt the people that care about you. The causes are horrible things -- depression, anxiety. They make you an asshole. They make you not a nice person, right? It's just that simple.
I think that more than anything else, music has been a positive thing in my life. It is therapy.
I think that when we talk about depression or we talk about mental illness, everybody thinks about the internal struggle. And of course, that's it, but what it really is is you spraying the world with your perfume of toxic behavior. Me being depressed, for example, and wanting to sleep all day, coming home and immediately getting into bed, feeling like fucking shit, is one thing; but what about the havoc I'm wreaking on other people? That's another thing altogether. It's one thing to fuck up your life, it's another thing to fuck up people's lives around you.
I think at some point you have to stop making it about yourself and start being a member of society.
TMR: Your album, Until the Horror Goes, came out this April. When you make your own album, how do you know when it's done? How do you know that the production work is finished and that it's a complete thing?
JC: Somebody once said to me, "You don't finish records, you just run out of time." I don't really know if I agree with that -- although I think that's funny, and I understand what they were trying to say. It's hard to put into words, but you know when you know. You just know that the work is the codified expression of this. Now, there are times whenever you feel that the work is done, and it's not any good, or that it's done, and it just doesn't work, or that it's done, and you just don't like it. Sometimes at that point it's just better to start over. I'm a big believer in starting over, instead of trying to fix things a lot of times.
You know when you know, and part of knowing is being an artist. I think that it gets easier to know when it's done, the older you get, the more that you do it. I think when I was younger I had much more completion anxiety about things. Now I have almost no completion anxiety ever. I feel really confident whenever I know something's done. You just know when you know.
TMR: In 2015, you were awarded a Grammy for your production work on St. Vincent's St. Vincent. Did you ever have dreams of winning a Grammy? What was that like? How did that feel?
JC: No dreams of winning a Grammy, no. It never really occurred to me. It was certainly probably something I joked about, not because I harbored a desire; it just didn't seem like my world. It was never on the radar, something to do, or to aspire to.
That being said, me and Annie [Clark] were obviously very honored to win. I'm very happy that of all the records that I've worked on, that would be one of them that would be recognized. Annie and I are like brother and sister at this point -- we're so close, we've spent so much time together. We really believe in the work we did. We feel like we did what was in our hearts. I feel like we did her vision, and we can stand behind that record. The fact that it has gotten some mainstream appeal is all the more better.
We were shocked. We did not think that would happen.
TMR: Has that changed your perception of yourself, the fact that you won a "really, really big award"?
JC: No. I still feel just as inadequate, just as much an impostor as I did before that.
I'm just a scared, confused, tragic animal trying to do something that means something, just like any other artist out there. ... I would say that as your success grows, your insecurities grow exponentially.
There's never going to be a point where I sort of brush my hands and say "Well, I've completely done it." I'm not an alpha male, I don't feel like I have the answers to anything, and I don't trust anybody's claims that they do. I'm just a scared, confused, tragic animal trying to do something that means something, just like any other artist out there. I'm just as insecure, and I would say that as your success grows, your insecurities grow exponentially. Success doesn't really solve those problems -- those are deeper spiritual problems, when you don't feel like you're good enough. There's never one finite moment that happens where you think, "Oh, okay, well I'm good now."
TMR: In Amanda Palmer's The Art of Asking, she talks about the "fraud police." It seems like it's almost good to be doubtful and scared of the future for your art, because it shows that you're willing to improve.
JC: I just think that at the end of the day you're not objective about your art, and you never really ever know what it's going to mean to anybody until you throw it out there.
It's interesting that you bring up Amanda, because her and I are very close. She's, to me, a very good example of a brave artist. She's got a lot of people telling her very negative things all the time, she's got a lot of people that are telling her very positive things. People really love her or really dislike her. And she's an incredibly brave artist - she's able to tune that shit out in a way that I haven't seen anybody else do. She is just so motivated about creating all the time, incredibly brave -- she's a really inspiring person. There's nobody like her.
TMR: In your AMA, you said that you often write when you feel "happy and safe." Why? Is that something that you had to reach through years of practice?
JC: It's after years of being somebody who writes music, both some stuff that was okay and some stuff that was bad. I started to notice that I was most prolific when I was secure and safe-feeling. And I think that it's because when I am happy, I can find it all a little funny. It's a real hilarious thing that we are able to contemplate our own consciousness and be sentient. It's a comedy to me, this existence. So when I'm in a good mood, I'm able to delight in it and go to these really horrific places. I can have fun with it. Whereas when I'm depressed, or sad, or maybe just normal, that stuff is a little too bare to the bone. It's all just there already, and I'm not finding it quite as funny anymore.
It's a real hilarious thing that we are able to contemplate our own consciousness and be sentient. It's a comedy to me, this existence.
One of the reasons why I think I haven't written much lately is because I've been, essentially, pretty happy. Whenever I'm more on the dark side of things, I gather up a bunch of ideas and they sit there and gestate. And whenever I'm in a better mood, they bubble up to the surface, but the problem is for a good long while now I've been pretty okay. And I'm happy about that.
Being somebody that's been making art for a really long time and has already said a bunch of things that I feel okay about, I don't necessarily feel compelled to have to write all the time. I've let go of that. It'll come when it comes.
TMR: When you do have those low points, do those affect your work at all?
JC: Being a producer, being a creative person for a living -- that's the good stuff. The people I love and the art that I get to be so lucky to make and help make, that's good shit. So no, I don't have any trouble getting up and doing that every day. That's exciting.
It's a cheesy thing to say, but it's something that continuously gets shown to me, over and over again: love really makes the world go around. It really isn't worth it without that. The connections you feel with people, that's what makes it all worth it.
TMR: Do you maybe have advice for writers who are struggling to pull their best work from themselves? What are some methods that you use when writing, in order to obtain the best message?
JC: Discipline is important. I think that restrictions and time limits, for me, have always been helpful. I think it's important not to walk around feeling like you're an artiste all the time. The best thing to do is remember that you're a human who breathes and eats and feels and just watches TV and hangs out with their boyfriend or girlfriend or family, or plays with their cats and dogs; that's who you are most of the time.
One thing that helped me and made me far more productive was, if I'm in a stage where I feel like writing, I like to make rules and restrictions. For example, if I feel like writing, then I set up thirty minutes a day, perhaps, where I go into a room, don't have my phone, don't have my computer - unless I need my computer - and I sit there with an instrument - if I want an instrument - and I do nothing for thirty minutes but think about my work. I work on my work, and I pick up right where I left off, and I just fiddle with things and I try to complete ideas. That doesn't sound insightful at all, but this is the secret: right when the thirty minutes, or however much time you've decided, are up, you must stop.
Even if you're onto the most brilliant idea you've ever had, you must stop, because you have to have those restrictions. Otherwise, you're back into the world of being an artist all the time and everything is all fuzzy, and you don't get anything done because you feel like you're a slave to it, rather than controlling it. I just found that I could be far more productive if I decided that for a finite amount of time every day, that's when I was an artist. The rest of the time I was a producer, I was a partner, I was a cat owner, I was a person who eats food, a person who goes to the movies - just a human.
TMR: Surely there are fears of losing good ideas. How do you keep yourself from losing the best thing?
JC: If it's a good enough idea, it'll be there later on. If I get an idea during the day, I just acknowledge it, I name it, I write it down, and then I move on with my day, and then I revisit it later. I certainly know the feeling of "Oh my God, that's a good idea," but the difference is that I don't shut down my life, I don't cancel plans, to just sit and be a gentle genius.
When I was younger, I could be a downright asshole. If I felt that my art, my muse, was being threatened, I could be pretty mean to people, and was mean to people -- people I shouldn't have been mean to.
TMR: How did you get over that kind of behavior?
JC: Therapy. Not to give the old answer, but therapy and making a conscious decision to be a healthy person and not be a shithead. I didn't like myself when I was younger. I wasn't a good person. There was a time in my life when I thought that as long as I could make art, nothing else mattered. And that got me through a lot of pain, a lot of damage from my life that I was trying to run away from, because I thought that I could be a lone wolf and be an artist. And you know what? It wasn't enough. You can win the Grammys, you can win all the accolades, you can have people tell you how much they like what you do, and it doesn't matter. You still go to bed with yourself each night, and none of that stuff will hold you when you're dying of cancer, or tell you that everything's gonna be okay. At the end of the day, you can't eat it, you can't fuck it, and it won't get you into Heaven.
TMR: Do you have any advice for people who may be in very dark places right now and aren't sure how to come out of them?
I really think that at the end of the day, it's about connecting with people. That's all I'm trying to do with art, is connect with people.
JC: I feel silly giving advice because I know that there's no one thing, but for me, it's asking for help. Admitting that you're vulnerable and that you need help, and just trying to connect with somebody. It's harder when you're alone, there's no doubt about it. If you don't have a partner, if you don't have friends around, that makes it a lot harder, and I know what it's like with all those iterations -- the darkness, and feeling like I didn't have anyone. But there usually is someone that you can reach out to. You have to just get over the hump of keeping yourself from talking to them. I really think that at the end of the day, it's about connecting with people. That's all I'm trying to do with art, is connect with people.
TMR: Is there anything about your life that, if you could, you would go back and change?
JC: Well, regret is kind of a wasted emotion, so it's better not to ruminate on those sorts of things. You're basically setting up the framework for deep unhappiness if you just sit around and think about how you could have done things differently. The answer is: fuck yes, absolutely, there are a lot of things I wish I had done differently, but I can't. I wish I had told my stepfather that I loved him before he died. I wish I had behaved better in romantic relationships. There's a lot of things that I really wish I had done differently. I can't change any of it, though.
TMR: What advice might you have for budding producers?
JC: If you're trying to do what I do, if you're trying to be an engineer perhaps, or an aspiring producer, just don't give up. That's the only thing I can say. Because you're going to have a mountain of shit rain on top of you all the time that's going to try to discourage you.
I think that if I had the psyche that I have now, when I was really fledgling at all this, there's no way I would have continued. I would have given up. My priorities are different now as to what's important to me, whereas then I was a fucking psychopath, I was a monster -- I was completely motivated by just being an artist. I'm not that person anymore. I'm sort of glad that I was that way, because I built a really cool life for myself, but it wouldn't have worked out that way now if I was starting with this psyche.
TMR: What advice might you have for budding artists?
JC: I'm going to say something that's probably controversial, but there is no advice to be given. If you are determined to do it, you're going to do it, and if you're not, you're going to give up. There's nothing wrong with giving up. There's nothing wrong with being a quitter. You should quit everything until you find something you don't wanna quit. Just keep quitting until you find the thing you don't want to leave. If art is worth it to you, you're going to do it. There's going to be no stopping you if it's worth it to you.

Report from the Religion News Service
(RNS) While mainline Protestant churches in the U.S. continue to experience decades-long decline, the memberships of Pentecostal traditions are on the rise, according to new figures compiled by the National Council of Churches.
Mainline Protestant churches that have seen a fall in membership since the 1970s continued their decline; the Presbyterian Church (USA) reported the greatest membership drop (2.6 percent) of the 25 largest denominations.
The membership declines in mainline churches led to a 1 percent decrease in total U.S. church membership, to 145.8 million.
Pentecostal churches make up four of the 25 largest churches, and both the Assemblies of God and the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.) increased in membership. Only six of the 25 largest memberships increased over the previous year.
Jehovah's Witnesses experienced the greatest growth percentage overall, gaining 4.37 percent according to the yearbook. Several historically black denominations continued a years-long practice of not submitting fresh figures.
The 10 largest Christian bodies reported in the 2011 yearbook are:
1. The Catholic Church: 68.5 million, up 0.57 percent.
2. Southern Baptist Convention: 16.1 million, down .42 percent.
3. The United Methodist Church: 7.8 million, down 1 percent.
4. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: 6 million, up 1.42 percent.
5. The Church of God in Christ: 5.5 million, no membership updates reported.
6. National Baptist Convention, USA: 5 million, no membership updates reported.
7. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: 4.5 million, down 1.96 percent.
8. National Baptist Convention of America, 3.5 million, no membership updates reported.
9. Assemblies of God: 2.9 million, up .52 percent.
10. Presbyterian Church (USA): 2.7 million, down 2.61 percent.

To apply for our Fall 2015 semester, please use the in-house clinics application form, located here. Applications are due no later than February 27 at 7:00 p.m.
By Kristina Ludwig, Fall 2014 Student Intern
I found the Investor Advocacy Clinic to be a very rewarding experience because it served as an introduction to working at a law firm. During the semester, I had the opportunity to interview clients, analyze their cases, and determine whether they were eligible for representation. I learned how to conduct client intake and document review while also keeping track of my billable hours and discovering the importance of the up-to-date case plan. I would recommend the Clinic to anyone who would like to gain some practical experience before they graduate, or anyone who is interested in securities arbitration. I predict that the Clinic will be one of the most valuable classes I will take and I am glad that I took advantage of the opportunity when it presented itself.

Privileged private school kids flaunt their rich lives by insulting state school 'peasants' and using £20 notes as LOO ROLL
The series of provocative posts were uploaded to Facebook page 'What private school students snapchat'
IF there was ever a bad advert for private education, this would be it.
Privileged students have taken to social media to flaunt their rich lives - and insult the "peasants" who go to state schools.
Posts uploaded to the Facebook page 'What private school students snapchat' include youngsters boasting about spending weekends in Dubai, using £20 notes as toilet paper and arriving to school football games in helicopters.
One jokes about sacking his Bentley-driving chauffeur for being "a minute late".
Many feature expensive champagne - one post shows three bottles of bubbly "chilling" in a toilet while another shows a towering mountain of Veuve Clicquot, captioned: "Looks like the order arrived."
Meanwhile a lad pours his dog a bowlful of luxury H20 Voss water, which retails at £2.89 for 800ml.

Another wrote: "When daddy drives you to school" on an image of an expensive Porsche, while another had clearly been taxied there in a Ferrari.
Many posted snaps of their designer watches to show off their wealth, with one captioning a snap: "18k white gold isn't for peasants."

Best high school players from Southern California schools
Best players from southern schools
A look at a dozen of the best players traveling north this week for the state high school basketball championship games at Golden 1 Center, Sacramento:
Megan Anderson (Clovis West-Fresno): The 6-foot-1 senior leads a balanced attack for the Golden Eagles, who are ranked seventh nationally by MaxPreps. The San Jose State-bound forward is one of five scholarship players on the team: Danae Marquez (SJSU), Sarah Bates (UC Santa Barbara), Bre'yanna Sanders (Arizona State) and Tess Amundsen (Boise State).
Jemarl Baker (Roosevelt-Eastvale): The 6-4 guard, who has committed to Cal, is one of the best pure shooters in Southern California. He averages 17.3 points and 4.3 assists per game.
Myles Franklin (Villa Park): The Northeastern commit is a slender 6-3 point guard who, according to West Coast scout Gerry Freitas, "does a nice job making plays for himself and others on a consistent basis."
Alyssa Maxey (Rolling Hills-San Pedro): The 5-8 freshman guard averages more than 22 points per game for the Huskies. She opened regional play two weeks ago with games of 34 and 28 points.
Matthew Mitchell (Roosevelt): The 6-5 guard is a matchup nightmare. The Cal State Fullerton-bound senior averages 25.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. "Fullerton is getting a steal," Freitas said.
Miles Norris (Helix-La Mesa): The 6-10, 190-pound forward is one of the top juniors in the country. Oregon and Arizona are at the top of his recruiting list.
Kezie Okpala (Esperanza-Anaheim): The 6-8 Stanford-bound guard averages 30.7 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. "He's long, athletic, handles the ball well and can get to the basket," Freitas said. "It's rare for a kid that size to be an all-around scorer like that."
Ethan Thompson (Bishop Montgomery-Torrance): The 6-foot-4 combination guard is the best all-around player Doug Mitchell said he has coached in his 28-year career. Headed to Oregon State, Thompson is the leading scorer (22) for the nation's No. 4 team, which takes on Woodcreek-Roseville and 6-11 Jordan Brown, the nation's No. 2 ranked junior according to 247Sports.

Golf Courses
This corner of Kent has some of the best links golf courses in the country. Princes Golf Club in Sandwich is the beginning of this holy grail of seaside links with Royal St Georges situated next door. Princes has a choice of three nine hole courses you can play in any combination each providing their own specific challenge.
A mile or two along the road you will find Royal Cinque Ports, the last four holes of which were described by Gary Player as "without doubt, the finest four consecutive holes on any course in the world."
If you would like something with a more a slightly more leafy feel to it, whilst retaining the spectacle of the sea views, North Foreland in Broadstairs will offer you this.
