Reports: Leafs talking with Kiprusoff's reps
Cam Charron
April 01 2013 05:47PM
Calgary Flames have granted Toronto Maple Leafs permission to talk to Kiprusoffs representatives #TSN— Aaron Ward (@aaronward_nhl) April 1, 2013
Per Aaron Ward, the first to break the news that Jarome Iginla had been traded to the Boston Bruins.
That said, Ward was vindicated somewhat by the word of Bruins' GM Pete Chiarelli, who said that he thought that there was a deal in place. I don't have a reason yet to distrust Aaron Ward's sources, and the general belief is that the Leafs are looking for an upgrade over Ben Scrivens. John Shannon has also mentioned it.
Obviously, you'd need Kiprusoff on board before exchanging any sort of assets for him. He still has a year left on his six-year deal and is 36. Complicating matters is that despite no no-trade or no-movement clause, it's been reported that Kiprusoff would not report to his new team in event of a trade.
My position on this is pretty firm. I don't think that Kiprusoff represents a clear upgrade over James Reimer at this point. He's been one of the streakier goalies in the NHL since the end of the lockout. There is an argument to be made that the Leafs could bring in a veteran backup to replace Ben Scrivens if you felt like experience was necessary on the bench, but the assets to acquire such a goalie may be too high.
It all depends what kind of ransom Jay Feaster wants for Kiprusoff. The Leafs have a tonne of cap space for next season so his salary hit isn't much of an issue, but if the tangible assets Feaster wants for one of his franchise's premier players since its resurgence are exchanged, the Leafs would probably come out behind.
For the record, Reimer's save percentage numbers better than Kiprusoff's over the last three seasons. If Toronto are going to spend assets on a player, it should be for one who is likely to get a lot of ice time during the playoff stretch or playoff run.
The other thing to consider is that these are unsourced reports from media insiders who generally do the work for general managers to raise players' trade values in exchange for a few scoops. Perhaps Dave Nonis is trying to convince Mike Gillis that he has other options not named Roberto Luongo? Of course, neither Kiprusoff or Luongo make all that much sense for the Leafs at this point.
April 01 2013, 06:36PM
Didn't Nonis just say this morning he wasn't interested in trading away draft picks for rental players?
April 02 2013, 03:02PM
Didn't Nonis just say this morning he wasn't interested in trading away draft picks for rental players?
That's probably why the reports are that he's trying to discuss an extension with Kipper.

Comments: Solid Lure that produces. Live Target does it again. This threadfin shad has great color options, and great action in the water. Live Target makes it so easy to match the hatch. Tight Lines!
From: Yakenstein: Hickory, NC 1/19/15
Comments: catches bass! silver blue..
From: Godzilla: CA Delta
Comments: This is my go-to lure for trolling. It always produces. The finish seems to chip relatively easy, but that would be expected when catching mostly Pike. I've bought several of these, and they all catch fish.
From: Eric, MI
Comments: Very good addition to any bass fisherman's tackle box. Cast's far...looks sweet in the water...and catches fish. Works great in the clear water lakes of Northern Michigan. It's expensive...but well worth it.
From: Matt: MI
Comments: Awesome lure it catches just about anything that swims. I've caught walleye smallmouth and pike on it.
From: Josh: MI
Comments: This is a great lure for trolling deep water and drop offs. After a week of fishing, my threadfin shad is pretty well beat up and scratched and scuffed. That isn't to say it chips easy, or is not durable. It catches fish. Lots of them.

Tuberculosis (TB)
Occupational Health & Infectious Disease
Risk Management, Portland, OR 5/1/13
What is TB and how is it spread?
TB is an infectious disease caused by a bacteria that infects your lungs. It enters the body when you inhale invisible droplets released into the air that may come from an infected person's cough or sneeze.
TB is NOT spread by:
- Shaking someone's hand
- Sharing food or drink
- Touching bed linens or toilet seats
- Sharing toothbrushes
- Kissing
Get tested regularly!
The most common test used is called a PPD tuberculin skin test. A small amount of liquid is placed under the top layer of skin on the forearm. After 48 hours, a health care professional will check the injection site for swelling. A hard, raised bump would be indication for the doctor to send you for a chest x-ray to check for active TB infection in the lungs.
Not everyone who becomes infected gets sick. When this happens it is called latent TB. A person with latent TB has no signs or symptoms of the disease and is not contagious. When tested, a person with latent TB will show signs of a positive skin test and be sent for an x-ray of the chest. There will be no evidence of active infection in the chest x-ray of a person who has latent TB.
Signs & Symptoms
- A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer
- Pain in the chest
- Coughing up blood
- Weakness
- No appetite
- Weight loss
- Fever, chills, sweating
Risk Factors
- Weakened immune system (caused by other diseases such as HIV or diabetes)
- International connections (traveling to countries with high rates of active TB)
- Poverty and substance abuse
- Where you work or live (healthcare professionals or living in a shelter)
If you feel you have been exposed to a person who may have an active TB infection, contact your health care provider or local health department right away. The testing for TB is quick and easy and if necessary, preventative treatment can be started.

Overwhelming Video of Tsunami Taking Out Entire Japanese Fishing Town
The plethora of footage showing the ravaging impact of the earthquake and resulting tsunami on Japanese cities and infrastructure pale in comparison to this hand-held video above. Many of us have seen this BBC video of Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture, a fishing town situated at the tip of a bay on the Pacific Ocean in northeastern Japan; but, when you watch the embedded video shot from, what I can glean to be, the rooftop of an engineering building, you get a deeper sense of why human casualties are numbering at more than 18,000 so far.
I imagined that tsunamis crush everything in their path with a massive series of waves and wild storms, but what you see here — besides this camera operator's steadfast, fearless determination to capture it all — is the rushing water engulf Japan's capital of the shark fin trade in a matter of minutes. While the water rises, the town sinks.
If cars can float like fishing bobbers on top of the flood waters and huge white storage tanks wander restlessly, the amount of debris displaced must be unfathomable. Robert Hood of MSNBC gives you a better sense of this. He created the panoramic shot below to show an on-the-ground view of the devastating aftermath of the video you see above.

While pundits speculate what actions President Obama and the Treasury Department might take to avoid the next standoff with Congress over raising the debt limit, it's worth taking a moment to briefly examine history. Debates over the nation's debt have been a reoccurring fact of American political life since the country's inception. That Congress is seeking to assert control over the nation's debt is nothing new. In fact, in the 19th century, Congress was far more in control of the nation's debt than it is today by authorizing borrowing for specified purposes or specifying which types of financial instruments the Treasury could employ, as well as other details of debt terms such as interests rates. While Congress has always asserted some form of control over the nation's debt as a means to assert its Constitutional powers with regards to taxing, spending and initiation of war, over the last century it has increasingly delegated independence of action to the Treasury Department. One of the most significant turning points in the relationship was the 1917 Second Liberty Bond Act, in which Congress granted the Treasury Department the authority to issue debt needed to fund government operations as long as the total debt did not exceed a stated ceiling. The Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917 helped finance the U.S. entry into World War I and gave the Treasury greater ability to respond to changing conditions and more flexibility in financial management while still retaining some Congressional control. In 1939, at the request of President Franklin Roosevelt and then-Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Congress enacted legislation that created the first aggregate limit covering nearly all public debt. On the eve of the U.S. entry into World War II, H.R. 5748, further delegated independence of action on the debt to the Treasury. The expansion of federal government in the 20th century as a result of wars and increased involvement in the economy has coincided with an increased Congressional delegation to the Treasury, which in theory was supposed to make things easier since more direct Congressional acts to control spending had become tedious. The problem is that the establishment of a debt limit has done little to control the nation's growing debt. According to the Congressional Research Service, between 1954 and 1962, the debt limit was reduced twice and increased seven times. Since March 1962, Congress has enacted 76 separate measures that have altered the limit on federal debt and since 2001, Congress has voted to raise the debt limit 11 times. And the debt and debt limit has risen under both Republican and Democratic Presidents alike. We looked through our archives and found examples of presidents using the bully pulpit to justify or make the case for increasing the debt limit. Before becoming president, Ronald Reagan criticized raising the debt ceiling in a 1964 speech supporting Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, arguing that increased debt threatened the future prosperity and survival of the nation. However, upon assuming the presidency and in the face of budget stand-off in 1981, Reagan signed an increase in the debt ceiling to raise it above $1 trillion for the first time. In his first press conference as president, Reagan told reporters: Yesterday Secretary of the Treasury Donald Regan sent to the Congress a request to raise the debt ceiling to $985 billion. This represents a dramatic jump of $50 billion over the previous debt ceiling. The administration took this action with great regret, because it's clear that the massive deficits our government runs is one of the root causes of our profound economic problems, and for too many years this process has come too easily for us. We've lived beyond our means and then financed our extravagance on the backs of the American people. In the press conference, Reagan justified the request for an increase by noting areas in which he sought to freeze or limit federal government expansion and spending. Among other measures, Reagan touted: Within moments of taking the oath of office, I placed a freeze on the hiring of civilian employees in the Federal Government. Two days later I issued an order to cut down on government travel, reduce the number of consultants to the government, stopped the procurement of certain items, and called on my appointees to exercise restraint in their own offices. Yesterday I announced the elimination of remaining Federal controls on U.S. oil production and marketing. But even an administration committed to rolling back the federal government was unable to fully limit spending. By the end of his term, the debt limit nearly tripled to some $2.8 trillion. President Bill Clinton faced a stand-off with the Republican-led Congress over the debt ceiling in 1995 and 1996. Clinton used his 1996 State of the Union Address to pressure Congress to rise above partisanship and extend the nation's debt limit, warning that the government might temporarily stop mailing Social Security checks: On behalf of all Americans, especially those who need their Social Security payments at the beginning of March, I also challenge the Congress to preserve the full faith and credit of the United States, to honor the obligations of this great nation as we have for 220 years, to rise above partisanship and pass a straightforward extension of the debt limit and show people America keeps its word. The Obama administration has, at least for the time being, ruled out negotiating with the Republican-led Congress over raising the ceiling. It's unclear whether President Obama or the Treasury will take independent actions to avert defaulting on the nation's debts if Congress doesn't act to raise the limit. However, like presidents before him, we can expect Obama to use the bully pulpit to press for Congressional action.

Barry Callebaut Introduces Chocolate Masters
Barry Callebaut today introduced Chocolate Masters, a new line of high-quality, ready-made chocolate decorations that are ideal for pastry chefs and chocolatiers. Food manufacturers also can use Chocolate Masters decorations to add a finishing touch to products in the post-production stage.
"The new Chocolate Masters products were designed for chocolate professionals who are looking to bring their creative culinary ideas to life with an added touch of chocolate," said Jerome Landrieu, an award winning pastry chef and Director of the Barry Callebaut CHOCOLATE ACADEMY™ center in Chicago. "In developing these decorations, we consulted with professional pastry chefs and chocolatiers from around the world to come up with a line of versatile, ready-made products that could be used in a number of applications, whether it's topping a tartlet with chocolate blossoms or serving up a creamy custard in a chocolate cup."
Chocolate Masters decoarations are manufactured using high-quality Barry Callebaut dark, milk, white and marbled chocolate. The product line includes:
Chocolate Shavings: Each shaving is unique in size and shape to provide a handmade, artisan appearance to bakery, pastry and dairy treats. They are ideal for adding a generous touch of chocolate to any dessert.
Chocolate Blossoms: These tiny curls of chocolate are visually appealing and great for sprinkling on the top and sides of desserts. By applying blossoms at the base of pastries, chefs can create special effects and highlights that will make their desserts stand out from the rest.
Chocolate Cups: Barry Callebaut's wide assortment of chocolate cups offers chefs plenty of creative presentation options for dessert fillings. In addition, chefs can spray a mixture of chocolate and cocoa butter on the cups to add a velvety effect to highlight the artisanal character of their creations.
Chocolate Truffle Shells: These truffle shells are perfectly round and perfectly sized to hold a heart of ganache, cream or any other filling. The truffle shells are also ideal for filling and manual dipping or for enrobing by machine.
Chocolate Shapes: Barry Callebaut's assorted open designs and shapes with detailed graphics are ideal for creating unique finishing touches for ice cream dishes and pastries. Adding an original chocolate shape to desserts also can enhance its attractive, luxurious character.
Chocolate Pencils: Finely rolled chocolate pencils add an extra handmade dimension to dessert presentations. Additionally, chocolate pencils can create visual interest and unpredictable height to even the most simple dessert ideas.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Immunity against intracellular, emerging and co-infecting agents.
Key words: T cell responses and memory, bacterial pathogenesis, vaccine.
Description of Research
We have a long-standing interest in basic questions related to generation of effective immune responses, mechanisms of protective immunity, and the establishment of long-term immunological memory. For these basic studies, we have used two well-characterized murine models of infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and Listeria monocytogenes. More recently, we have become interested in viral/bacterial co-infections, which occur frequently in clinics and often result in more severe disease than infection by an individual pathogen. A striking example of this is the high mortality caused by secondary bacterial pneumonia following flu infection. We are: 1) studying how inflammation induced by a bacterial pathogen may affect the host response to a co-infecting viral pathogen and vice versa, 2) investigating the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis that contribute to lethal secondary bacterial pneumonia following flu infection, 3) identifying immune mechanisms and protective antigens that provide immunity against co-infection, and 4) examining how these protective mechanisms may be inhibited during co-infection that leads to high mortality and inadequate immunological memory. Through these studies, we have gained new insights into complexity of tripartite interactions between the virus, bacterium and host immune system. Based on our new findings, we are developing novel, combinational vaccine approaches tailored towards co-infection.

|In response to Re: Champion toilet intermittent refilling
: Unfortunately I don't know of any American Standard Champion toilet that doesn't have a leaky flush valve. It seems that America's best flushing system is also best at leaking. Cleaning the seal may slow the leak down but probably won�t stop it completely. The seal material is very sticky and may have debris stuck to it from the manufacturing process. You might also try adding weight to the tower by tying fishing line with clamp on weights around the tower where it necks down. (The weights didn�t work for me.) I believe the flush tower design is flawed. The flush tower has a parting line (from injection molding process) that leaves a ridge of plastic in the area where the seal contacts the tower. It's kind of like putting a toothpick under a sheet of paper and expecting to be able to press the paper flat. Another problem seems to be that the tower or flush valve seat may be wavy and the silicone seal can't conform to the non-uniformity. Unfortunately you can't just go out and buy a flapper to replace the tower. I've been wondering if a Toto Drake flapper assembly would work. I think they are both 3", but I don't know if the tank hole is the same size and if the tank to bowl gasket would still work. I have devised a solution to the constant running. Cut a piece of wood or plastic stock (an old paint stir or piece of narrow wood trim works fine) about 7 3/16 long. It should be long enough so that you bow it to install it, and friction holds it in place. Drill a small hole through it 3" from one end. Put the wood piece in the tank so the small hole is directly over the rod that connects to the fill valve. The wood piece needs to be installed at the very top of the tank and with enough bow to prevent interference with the fill valve arm. Make a small loop in a piece of monofilament fishing line and slip it over the bottom of the rod that connects to the fill valve arm. Feed the other end of the line up through the hole and over the front edge of the tank. Attach the end of the line to the bottom of the toilet lid on the left side about 1" away from the centerline of the hinge. The electrical department in your local home center should have a thin fastener with double sided adhesive that you can stick on the bottom of the toilet lid and attach the monofilament line to. Check for proper operation before securing the line. When you open the lid the line goes slack and allows the tank to fill. When you close the lid, the line pulls the fill valve to it�s closed position. Don�t make the line too tight or you could damage the fill valve.
: : We recently installed an American Std Champion toilet. The flush is great, and we like it in every way EXCEPT that every few minutes, when it is not being used, water flows into the tank for a second or 2. Is the water leaking from the tank? How might we fix this problem -- it kind of negates the low-flow feature!
Have you contacted A.S.? They are supposed to be sending me a replacement tank with a modified seal. It is due tomorrow; ten business days. If it does not come, I will promptly remove the toilet and return it to HD. I have already returned the first of two I purchased. It is a good flushing system, but with the way these things leak water (and my opinion is-90% do leak), you will lose a significant amount of water over a month. If they don't make changes, these things are junk!

Altaf Abbas
Sunday 30 October
Up very early this morning at 4am to start the journey of a lifetime. I have got butterflies in my stomach, the whole family are at the front door to see us off – it was an emotional send off. The excitement is rising while we wait at the departure gate at Heathrow with 220 other potential hajjies who are sharing a common goal of doing Hajj. We landed in Medina on Sunday evening and as the plane touched down it felt real that we had landed in the holy city of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The whole disembarkment went very smoothly and swiftly and within a few hours we were in our hotel room.
Wednesday 2 November
We have spent the last few days in Medina which is a lovely calm place and the locals are very welcoming. This morning I made ablution and put on the ihram and boarded the bus on the long but emotional journey to Mecca where my eyes are longing to see the Kabba (the direction I pray in five times a day in London) and to see it real life is going to be overwhelming. My heart is thumping and my hands are shaking I can't wait but have to 'shabara' (the Arabic word for patience) which the locals use continuously, as well as with 'inshallah'.
Altaf and Rashida Abbas are going on Hajj this year. They will be blogging about their experience over the next two weeks. Find out more about the exhibition Hajj: journey to the heart of Islam

Better Than Delivery!
From p. 20 of the September/October 2008 Issue
of Simple & Delicious
As a volunteer for the American Heart Association, Judy Sellgren of Wyoming, Michigan always seems to put others first. In fact, those who know her best would probably tell you that for Judy, cooking is as much an act of looking after friends and family as it is of feeding them.
"I typically make dinner for my husband, John, and myself, but we really enjoy having our kids and two grandchildren over, too," she says. "I also help out with preparing dinners at church and for funerals."
No matter how many people she's serving, Judy tries to tailor her menu to suit their tastes. Actually, many of her family's favorite recipes have come from friends.
"I truly can't remember who gave me the recipe for Family-Pleasing Pizza," Judy says. "But I've used this quick recipe for unexpected company or as a busy weekend meal for years. You can add whatever fresh veggies you have on hand."
Bacon and chow mein noodles bring lively crunch to her refreshing Tangy Spinach Salad. "I made this for two of my best girlfriends and they loved it. One still fixes it regularly for her husband!"
Top off the meal with sweet and creamy Cake with Pineapple Pudding, which has just five ingredients. "This recipe was given to me by a dear friend," Judy says. "It's so light and refreshing. I frequently take it to church luncheons."
These easy recipes from Judy—and some of her friends—are sure to be hit with you and yours!
Judy's Tips
YUM!: "We like to thinly slice sweet onions and add them to the pizza with the tomatoes," Judy says.
EASY TO ASSEMBLE: "Make prep easier by cleaning the spinach and slicing tomatoes for this meal ahead of time," Judy advises. "Store each ingredient in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready for it. You can also make the salad dressing ahead. Just refrigerate and shake before serving."
LIGHTEN UP: "I've tried this cake with sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix. It tastes just as good but saves a few calories," says Judy.
Here's the plan:
- Cook the sausage and melt butter for the pizza. While the sausage cooks, prepare the easy crust.
- Slice the tomatoes for the pizza; then assemble and bake the pizza.
- While the pizza bakes, prepare the dessert topping and place it in the fridge. Fix the salad and prepare the dressing.
- Top cake slices with the pineapple pudding and remove the pizza from the oven and serve.

Johan Lindeberg's BLK DNM scent, Perfume 11, is described as a unisex scent embodying "black amber, birch tar, and soft musks (base notes) blend with incense, fir balsam (mid notes) and finally cardamom (top notes) to create a peppery blend." These scents, say Lindeberg, are based on various memories (women) from his past. But what does it really smell like? The Denim Therapy team tried it out. Three out of three present team members agreed, it reminds one immediately of juniper trees. And we like it.

Lab Planning
by gwilson on Feb.20, 2010, under Uncategorized
Campus architect Rick Weatherl brought the floorplan for the lab renovation by yesterday for me to review. We are at the stage where we know pretty well where the walls will be. Now we have to figure out how to make those spaces as efficient and effective as possible for course delivery. We've gone from what the spaces might look like to now having to consider how do we make them work.
One feature we chose to include in our design was a concept first seen at a Project Kaleidoscope facilities conference at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. UST had just completed a $39M building and hosted the meeting to show off their facilities. Being a microbiologist, I've always been on the lookout for effective lab designs that would work for my courses. Their microbiology lab had several features I thought particularly useful, and when combined with some of the things I liked best about the Texas A&M lab renovation from my time there gave me an overall approach to the new labs that we all believe will help us deliver exciting and effective courses.
In particular, we wanted our labs to allow faculty and student research. So, we developed spaces for students to set up projects (see PROJ at left) that would not interfere with other courses being taught in the same lab (a UST feature). We also wanted an anteroom where students could come and check on their cultures and do day-to-day work while other labs were in session (an A&M feature, see PREP at left). And we wanted our labs to be useful not just for hands-on labwork but also to be comfortable enough to also serve as our lecture space (a UST feature). We are adding a few ideas of our own – flat panel TV/monitors on the walls instead of digital projectors for greater definition when projecting bacterial images; cardswipe entry to allow students into zones of the spaces for conducting research after-hours. We've also decided printing out research posters (our students often do this as their lab report format) makes little sense when they can be fed by computer into flat panel monitors on the walls in the halls. So, our labs will be high-tech and versatile. As our architect put it, "When someone walks into the front doors of our building, those flat panels would scream, 'science is going on here'." No longer will this be a static, lifeless place.
It is exciting to be part of this transformation of spaces. But it is even more exciting to be part of a program that is fearless about trying new approaches to find what works to build student learning. The spaces are different for a reason and purpose because our programs are different for a reason and purpose.

Four women and two children sit at the rear of the treehouse, the women fashioning bags from vines and studiously ignoring me. "Men and women stay on different sides of the treehouse and have their own hearths," says Kembaren. Each hearth is made from strips of clay-coated rattan suspended over a hole in the floor so that it can be quickly hacked loose, to fall to the ground, if a fire starts to burn out of control.
A middle-aged man with a hard-muscled body and a bulldog face straddles the gender dividing line. Speaking through Boas, Kembaren makes small talk about crops, the weather and past feasts. The man grips his bow and arrows and avoids my gaze. But now and then I catch him stealing glances in my direction. "That's Lepeadon, the clan's khen-mengga-abül, or 'fierce man,'" Kembaren says. The fierce man leads the clan in fights. Lepeadon looks up to the task.
"A clan of six men, four women, three boys and two girls live here," Kembaren says. "The others have come from nearby treehouses to see their first laleo."
After an hour of talk, the fierce man moves closer to me and, still unsmiling, speaks. "I knew you were coming and expected to see a ghost, but now I see you're just like us, a human," he says, as Boas translates to Kembaren and Kembaren translates to me.
A youngster tries to yank my pants off, and he almost succeeds amid a gale of laughter. I join in the laughing but keep a tight grip on my modesty. The Rev. Johannes Veldhuizen had told me that Korowai he'd met had thought him a ghost-demon until they spied him bathing in a stream and saw that he came equipped with all the requisite parts of a yanop, or human being. Korowai seemed to have a hard time understanding clothing. They call it laleo-khal, "ghost-demon skin," and Veldhuizen told me they believed his shirt and pants to be a magical epidermis that he could don or remove at will.
"We shouldn't push the first meeting too long," Kembaren now tells me as he rises to leave. Lepeadon follows us to the ground and grabs both my hands. He begins bouncing up and down and chanting, "nemayokh" ("friend"). I keep up with him in what seems a ritual farewell, and he swiftly increases the pace until it is frenzied, before he suddenly stops, leaving me breathless.
"I've never seen that before," Kembaren says. "We've just experienced something very special." It was certainly special to me. In four decades of journeying among remote tribes, this is the first time I've encountered a clan that has evidently never seen anyone as light-skinned as me. Enthralled, I find my eyes tearing up as we return to our hut.
The next morning four Korowai women arrive at our hut carrying a squawking green frog, several locusts and a spider they say they just caught in the jungle. "They've brought your breakfast," Boas says, smiling as his gibe is translated. Two years in a Papuan town has taught him that we laleo wrinkle our noses at Korowai delicacies. The young women have circular scars the size of large coins running the length of their arms, around the stomach and across their breasts. "The marks make them look more beautiful," Boas says.
He explains how they are made, saying circular pieces of bark embers are placed on the skin. It seems an odd way to add beauty to the female form, but no more bizarre than tattoos, stiletto-heel shoes, Botox injections or the not-so-ancient Chinese custom of slowly crushing infant girls' foot bones to make their feet as small as possible.
Kembaren and I spend the morning talking to Lepeadon and the young men about Korowai religion. Seeing spirits in nature, they find belief in a single god puzzling. But they too recognize a powerful spirit, named Ginol, who created the present world after having destroyed the previous four. For as long as the tribal memory reaches back, elders sitting around fires have told the younger ones that white-skinned ghost-demons will one day invade Korowai land. Once the laleo arrive, Ginol will obliterate this fifth world. The land will split apart, there will be fire and thunder, and mountains will drop from the sky. This world will shatter, and a new one will take its place. The prophecy is, in a way, bound to be fulfilled as more young Korowai move between their treehouses and downriver settlements, which saddens me as I return to our hut for the night.
The Korowai, believing that evil spirits are most active at night, usually don't venture out of their treehouses after the sun sets. They divide the day into seven distinct periods—dawn, sunrise, midmorning, noon, midafternoon, dusk and night. They use their bodies to count numbers. Lepeadon shows me how, ticking off the fingers of his left hand, then touching his wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, neck, ear and the crown of the head, and moving down the other arm. The tally comes to 25. For anything greater than that, the Korowai start over and add the word laifu, meaning "turn around."
In the afternoon I go with the clan to the sago palm fields to harvest their staple food. Two men hack down a sago palm, each with a hand ax made from a fist-size chunk of hard, dark stone sharpened at one end and lashed with vine to a slim wooden handle. The men then pummel the sago pith to a pulp, which the women sluice with water to produce a dough they mold into bite-size pieces and grill.
A snake that falls from the toppling palm is swiftly killed. Lepeadon then loops a length of rattan about a stick and rapidly pulls it to and fro next to some shavings on the ground, producing tiny sparks that start a fire. Blowing hard to fuel the growing flame, he places the snake under a pile of burning wood. When the meat is charred, I'm offered a piece of it. It tastes like chicken.
On our return to the treehouse, we pass banyan trees, with their dramatic, aboveground root flares. The men slam their heels against these appendages, producing a thumping sound that travels across the jungle. "That lets the people at the treehouse know they're coming home, and how far away they are," Kembaren tells me.
