Do you love heights? Are you a thrill-seeking adventurer? Well, you may be an adrenaline junkie, and as it turns out, there's no need to wait until the weekend to get your rush. We've rounded up 15 blue-collar jobs that could be a great career choice for those who like to walk on the wild side.
Don't let the term blue-collar throw you off either. While it may help to be big and burly for some of these positions, these aren't low-level minimum-wage jobs. Our definition of blue-collar is a job that you can get without a four-year degree, and specifically one in which you work with your hands and/or some type of machinery.
So buckle in and take a look at our collection of jobs for adrenaline junkies, listed in no particular order.
- Explosives workers
- Commercial divers
- Fishers
- Wellhead pumpers
- Boilermakers
- Glaziers
- Hazardous materials removal workers
- Sailors and marine oilers
- Crane and tower operators
- Earth drillers
- Wind turbine service techs
- Riggers
- Welders
- Electrical power-line installers and repairers
- Commercial pilots
1: Explosives workers

Really, what could be better for adrenaline junkies than a job blowing stuff up?
Explosives workers are the pros behind all those amazing demolition videos you see on YouTube. Beyond taking down buildings, they may work in mining operations, transport hazardous materials or create pyrotechnics for the film industry.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 7.1%
- Average salary (2016): $54,580
2: Commercial divers

Break out the sledgehammers and welding equipment, because these divers aren't here for sight-seeing. Commercial divers are often employed by companies to maintain underwater equipment such as that used by offshore oil and gas platforms. Others may work for the military on naval ships or be employed in HAZMAT situations where they need to handle potentially hazardous materials.
Not only do commercial divers have the potential to make good money, but they are also high on our list of blue-collar jobs for adrenaline junkies when it comes to job growth.
- Education: Vocational education or associate degree
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 10.8%
- Average salary (2016): $53,990
3: Fishers

Keeping up with the water motif, you could opt to sail the high seas specifically for a job as a fisher. It might not seem accessible to all, but you might be surprised to hear you can sometimes find fisher positions somewhat inland, away from the nation's coastlines. Rivers and even lake areas large enough to support the trade could house employment opportunities.
There's likely to be some adrenaline pumping at times, what with a gig so physical – you could be steering vessels, maintaining engines, and sorting and packing fish throughout your day, among other tasks. Chances are you are moving about frequently in sometimes-harsh conditions, and stay sharp because you'll need a strong ability to communicate with others for smoother sailing when team-related tasks are required.
- Education: High school diploma or less
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 11%
- Average salary (2016): $30,740
4: Wellhead pumpers
Photo credit: @exprogroup
Wellhead pumpers are one of the many workers that are out over a gas and oil field, helping to bring up that liquid gold.
As a wellhead pumper, it's your responsibility to keep that high-pressure pump humming along correctly. Make a wrong move, and the whole works could, quite literally, blow up in your face.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 21.7%
- Average salary (2016): $50,730
5: Boilermakers
Photo credit: @nune44
Who wouldn't want to install and maintain giant, pressurized containers full of steaming hot liquid? Because that's exactly what boilermakers do.
These workers get paid good money to assemble and maintain boilers. They may also create vats that store chemicals, oil and even beer. It's a dangerous job, but somebody's got to do it… especially if we want beer.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 9%
- Average salary (2016): $62,200
6: Glaziers
Photo credit: @sosapower562
Glaziers don't exactly have the type of job you hear about every day, but you probably see their work every day. They install windows, skylights and other glass products.
This may not sound like something that belongs on a list of jobs for adrenaline junkies but be prepared. If you're on scaffolding 20 stories up trying to install windows, your heart is likely going to start pumping. Of course, other glaziers work closer to the ground and may specialize in glass products designed for home installation rather than commercial use.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 10.5%
- Average salary (2016): $47,260
7: Hazardous materials removal workers
Photo credit: @teamdecon
With a high school diploma and a lot of on-the-job learning, you could land a gig cleaning up asbestos, arsenic and nuclear waste. Sounds like fun, right?
Hazardous materials removal workers are the HAZMAT team called in when things go horribly wrong and something dangerous needs to be removed. They contain the area, neutralize the threat and then take it away. While it may not sound appealing to some, this gig is necessary to ensure the safety of all when disaster strikes.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 17.2%
- Average salary (2016): $45,500
8: Sailors and Marine Oilers
Photo credit: @coppolani_j
Oh, the sailor's life is the life for me. With above-average job growth projected for the coming years, it might be the life for you too.
Sailors have many different responsibilities, including ship maintenance, watching for obstructions and using cargo-handling equipment. While a high school diploma will do education-wise, you may also need a government certification for certain jobs in this field.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 7.6%
- Average salary (2016): $46,170
9: Crane and tower operators
Photo credit: @womenincranes
Crane and tower operators not only have to contend with heights, they are also responsible for some massive machinery. They operate mechanical boom/tower and cable equipment to lift and move heavy material.
These workers often work in the construction industry, water transportation, mining or manufacturing. If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, this could be a job for you.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 8.6%
- Average salary (2016): $55,280
10: Earth drillers
Photo credit: @drillerdusty
Earth drillers do pretty much what you'd expect -- they use big machines and work in a noisy environment. And they dig some of the biggest holes you've ever seen.
They may drill wells, take soil samples or work in mining operations. Sometimes, they may even get to use explosives. Note that the data for this job is centered around earth drillers who do not work within the oil and gas industries; yes, there are other uses for earth drillers.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 19.6%
- Average salary (2016): $51,240
11: Wind turbine service techs
Photo credit: @jayvege
Working up to 260 feet off the ground, wind turbine service techs have a job that's not for the faint of heart. It is, however, one of the perfect blue-collar jobs for adrenaline junkies—and check out that job growth!
Technicians climb towers to perform inspections and may not only find themselves high in the sky but over deep water as well since many wind farms are located offshore. These professionals need specific education so they can troubleshoot and repair turbine problems, but no college degree is required.
- Education: Two-year technical program
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 96.3%
- Average salary (2016): $54,360
12: Riggers
Photo credit: @dasp77
Riggers do just what the name says: they set up rigging equipment. You know what rigging equipment is, right? In the olden days, rigging was a system of ropes, wires and pulleys, but today the word refers to almost anything used to lift heavy objects and loads.
Pros in the field may be employed on construction sites, shipyards, manufacturing plants and in the logging industry. Some even work in Hollywood to rig up film equipment and set designs. Wherever they work, riggers typically get to play with big toys in the form of heavy machinery.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 9.8%
- Average salary (2016): $49,030
13: Welders
Photo credit: @djshelly09
If you love to work with your hands and have a fondness for pyrotechnics, then welding could be the job for you. But fair warning from the experienced ones: You will burn yourself.
There are all sorts of ways to weld, but each one results in liquid metal. What adrenaline junkie could say no to that? Welders use their skills in fusing together metals to work on everything from factory equipment to custom motorcycles.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 5.6%
- Average salary (2016): $42,450
14: Electrical power-line installers and repairers
Photo credit: @canucklineman
Electrical power-line installers and repairers may have some of the best elements of danger and intrigue. You get heights, heavy equipment, potentially dangerous working conditions, and of course, you get to handle high-voltage wires.
Linemen and women get trained on the job to help them master all aspects of power-line maintenance. Once you get good, don't miss out on the chance to head to the International Lineman's Rodeo and Expo where you can show off your skills.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 13.9%
- Average salary (2016): $67,160
15: Commercial pilots
Photo credit: @jthtexasbase
While not strictly blue-collar, commercial pilots still make our list because they work with machinery, heights, and can get the job without a college degree. Some may also consider pilots to be a white-collar profession, but regardless, their jobs are certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Commercial pilots need a commercial pilot's license and then they can fly chartered flights and helicopters although adrenaline junkies may gravitate more toward jobs that involve search and rescue, firefighting or emergency evacuations. Later, if you decide you want to fly one of the really big jets, you could become an airline pilot. However, you'll need a bachelor's degree for that.
- Education: High school diploma
- Projected job growth (2016-2026): 3.8%
- Average salary (2016): $86,260
That's it for our list! Did we miss any jobs that you think would be great for adrenaline junkies? Please let us know. Also, check out list of vocational programs here.

Swedish democracy activists praised the choice of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, but emphasised that although his work is very important, he is not the only prisoner of conscience in China and that all of them should be released.
"We welcome this prize because we have taken up his case for a long time now. He is a prominent figure in the human rights movement in China and we appreciate the spotlight on his situation. We have been calling for his release," Amnesty Sweden press secretary Elisabeth Löfgren told The Local on Friday.
The Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society (SPAS) also welcomed the selection of Liu, but President Anna Ek also worried about the reaction of the Chinese government and the repercussions of the choice for other dissidents in the country.
"The Chinese regime will be pissed off. Instead of releasing political prisoners, it may increase the level of repression," she said.
In announcing Liu as the winner, the Norwegian Nobel Committee cited "his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China".
"For over two decades, Liu Xiaobo has been a strong spokesman for the application of fundamental human rights also in China," the Nobel Committee said in a statement.
Liu was sentenced to 11 years in prison and two years' deprivation of political rights last year, a year after helping to author Charter 08, the manifesto on fundamental human rights in China which was published in December 2008, the 60th anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"Through the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China," the Nobel Committee said.
Liu was nominated for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize in January by former Czech president Václav Havel, the Dalai Lama, André Glucksmann, Vartan Gregorian, former New Zealand prime minister Mike Moore, Karel Schwarzenberg, Desmond Tutu and prominent Russian economist and politician Grigory Yavlinsky.
He learned of the nomination through his lawyer while in prison. It is unclear whether he has been informed that he has won the award or when he will find out. Only two other laureates have won while in prison, one of them Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi in 1991.
It is also uncertain how China will react to the news. As Löfgren pointed out, Liu is relatively unknown in the country because citizens are not informed about issues relating to human rights.
In an unprecedented move prior to the announcement, Beijing warned that awarding the prize to Liu could damage China-Norway ties.
Both Amnesty and the Peace and Arbitration Society hope that the prize will result in the release of Liu or a shortening of his prison sentence.
In addition, it it not yet known who will receive the prize on his behalf, nor what he would like to do with the funds. Löfgren pointed out that whoever is chosen to accept the prize must first receive permission from the Chinese authorities to do so.
Liu is the first recipient of the prize from China. The India-based Dalai Lama from Tibet won it in 1989.
Ek was surprised that the early predictions for his win turned out to be accurate. A Dublin-based online betting house declared Liu the winner prior to the announcement and paid out prizes after a surge in betting on Liu led the operators to conclude "the Nobel cat is well and truly out of the bag."
"There is always speculation, but it is never the one who wins it. They felt it coming. Of course, it was our hope he would win," she said.
All the Nobel Prizes are announced and awarded in Stockholm with the exception of the Peace Prize. It is unclear why founder Alfred Nobel chose to include peace as a prize category, nor why he dictated in his will that the prize be administered in Norway, which was still a part of Sweden at the time of his death.

October heralds another Transport Month. Given the number of national and international days for a variety of themes and causes, it's easy for the significance of a month like this to be lost as just another event in a calendar of events. Transport Month 2013 must be different. It really does provide an opportunity to reflect and beyond the month – Act.
Transport and mobility which for a long time had remained dormant in public discourse, in city planning and strategy is increasingly beginning to take centre stage. This provides an opportunity for deep reflection on the centrality of transport in decision-making at city level. It further creates the space for authentic conversations on the power relations in transport and the need to transform transport planning and provision so that it truly becomes more people-centered.
Transport is an invisible thread that weaves through our lives from before birth through to the funeral. How a pregnant mother travels to her ante natal check-up, transport availability when in labour, the babies first trip home, access to early childhood development facilities and recreational amenity, access to primary, secondary and tertiary education, the resources required to seek a job, the daily commute to work, trips for leisure and social responsibility, the hearse making its way to a funeral – a range of experiences across our lifetime are determined largely by the quality, affordability, accessibility and reliability of transport choices available to us.
The reality is that too many have become accustomed to seeing their city spaces and lives through the lenses of private car ownership and use. The vast majority of decision makers – elected and administrative are private car captive. If we are to create more sustainable city environments then we must begin to think and act differently on matters of Transport and mobility, so that as we plan, design and implement, we begin to make different choices and decisions. Four ideas for Transport for better urban spaces include:
- Transport and mobility are everybody's business: Academic training in a variety of disciplines should begin to include modules on how transport impacts a discipline so that across society there is a keener appreciation of transport as a potential enabler or disabler in life. All stakeholders need to start factoring transport and mobility into their decision making. It is imperative that all government departments begin evaluating their development plans with transport lenses. The impact of location, how accessible a facility will be by virtue of various modes of transport and how affordable it will be to access a facility. It is imperative that the private sector too begins to think more carefully about how staff will get to a development, what will it cost them to do so, what are the implications of transport non- availability late at night etc.
- Transport and mobility are about all kinds of people: Too often transport is discussed and planned for as if we are planning for a man who needs to get to work and back home in a car that he owns and drives. As planning is done for Transport from both an infrastructure provision and operations perspective we need to be more alive to the various categories of people we are planning for. Children, active adults and the elderly, single people, parents with young children, those with different types of disabilities , the literate and the illiterate, the Executive and the General Worker, the employed and the unemployed, the city dweller and the visitor to the city. We must begin to plan transport with the needs of a variety of stakeholders in mind. How infrastructure is designed, till what hours operations run, how information is provided on transport should be radically transformed so that we begin to create inclusive spaces for all.
- Transport is not about any single mode: With the advent of new technologies we are experiencing champions for particular modes: Rapid Rail, Surface Heavy Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, conventional bus, minibus etc. We must move away from the idea that any single mode is thee solution that will magically solve all problems. Quality urban transport has a role for all modes but must also begin to look at walking and cycling as important mobility solutions. The fragmentation and competitive stances between modes must be exchanged for a seamless, co-operative stance that is embodied around the user needs and experience.
- Transport transformation is possible: Too many people believe that getting the requisite mindset shift to get people out of private cars onto public transport is impossible. With the correct information, marketing and understanding concerns it is possible. There are a range of short term interventions that can quickly improve the existing transport offerings whilst longer term planning and implementation are being undertaken. We can begin to consciously create the requisite skillset required to build a radically different transit system for a transformed society. Transport Transformation must extend to overhauling historic ownership patterns, to South Africa becoming an exporter of Transport technologies rather than importer, to alternative and sustainable energy sources , to focus on cleaner air and social cohesion possibilities for a radically different transport system going forward. We must begin to move freight in more creative and sustainable ways. Safer roads can be accomplished. There is a definite need for stronger civil society and NGO voices on matters of transport and mobility so that the discourse shifts from the concerns of the 1 person 1 car brigade!
Transport Month 2013 provides the opportunity to go beyond rhetoric and campaigns, to do a deep introspection and to begin the transport revolution in earnest. It is not just the responsibility of policy-makers and experts. Unless, we don't all embrace a radically different transport vision – history and future generations could judge as harshly. Do we care enough to act to build sustainable cities that allow residents to interact with each other, with urban spaces and with their own potential in a way very different from a transport system that was designed deliberately to keep people apart and saw mobility as a means of maximizing profit not enhancing humanity?

Novartis and IBM Watson are teaming up in a "ground-breaking collaboration" that aims to marry machine learning with real-world data to improve outcomes in advanced breast cancer.
The parties are planning to explore the development of a 'cognitive solution' that will provide better insights on the expected outcomes of breast cancer treatment options, in the hope of helping doctors to tailor therapy and advise clinical practice guidelines.
Watson, an artificial intelligence system delivered through the cloud, analyses high volumes of data, is able to understand complex questions asked in 'natural language' and propose evidence-based answers. The system continuously learns, gaining in value and knowledge over time, from previous interactions.
"As the industry shifts toward value-based care, it's critical for clinicians to understand the real-world outcomes of therapeutics on subsets of their patients, and our goal ultimately is to put those insights into oncologists' hands," said Anil Jain, chief medical informatics officer of IBM Watson Health.
"With the deep expertise of Novartis in breast cancer, we are confident that this collaboration may provide transformative tools for clinicians and patients to make more informed treatment decisions."
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Home > Learn to Fish & Boat > How To Fish > How to Tie Fishing Knots > Strongest Knot for Braided Line
Learn how to tie the strongest knot for braided line, when these knots will give you an advantage while fishing, and which knots are most likely to hold securely versus slipping.
You may already be aware of the advantages of using braided line, specifically when freshwater fishing or inshore saltwater fishing. Braid can help you achieve greater distance when casting, gives you the ability to hold more line on your reel due to smaller line diameter, and little to no stretch for solid hooksets. However, you may also know that tying knots with braided line can be a challenge if you aren't using the best braided line knots.
While braided line can be more visible to fish in clear water conditions, there are certain times when you will be fishing in areas of heavy cover or during periods of low light, when braid can also provide a distinct advantage in pulling fish out of thick vegetation.
You might be wondering why you should learn how to tie braided line as a terminal connection. If you are learning how to fish, it may be helpful to remember that tying braided line directly to a hook or jig can help you achieve a quick, firm hookset. This means less of a chance that fish will throw the hook.
If you want to tie braid directly to a hook, swivel, or lure; learn how to tie the strongest knot for braided line. Although, be sure to practice a few other knots that are also strong and effective for use with braided line. Practice is particularly important when learning how to tie braided line knots -- if not tied correctly, there is a good chance that they will slip due to the texture of the line.
Palomar Knot: Because the line is doubled over when passed through the eye of the hook, the Palomar knot is often considered to be the best terminal knot to use with braided line.
Double Palomar Knot: The Double Palomar knot can provide you the added assurance that your knot will hold due to the fact that this knot is tied with two overhand knots versus just one. Just like the original Palomar knot, the Double Palomar is also easy to tie.
San Diego Jam Knot: The San Diego Jam Knot was popularized in San Diego by tuna anglers who needed a strong knot for heavy jigs. This knot is relatively easy to tie and it is suitable for braided fishing line, monofilament, and fluorocarbon -- making a versatile knot that you can use as a terminal connection in a number of freshwater and saltwater fishing scenarios.
Once you know how to tie the strongest knot for braided line, the Palomar knot or the Double Palomar knot, learn how to tie the San Diego Jam knot by following these steps:
If you practice these steps, you will learn how tie the San Diego Jam knot quickly while on the water. Tying strong braided line knots isn't hard once you practice them a few times.

'Horse head with feline as mane'
Stacy Dodd and Rod Weber find, Jasper County, Missouri
The Old Route 66 Zoo Site, #23JP1222
I think this horse head sculpture is also presenting a feline, where the cat is curled across the back of the horse head like the mane of the horse, the cat and horse share ears and the 'eye' of the horse is the 'mouth' of the cat. This is thought to be a pairing of predator and prey where both animals are present in the same view (in an optical illusion).
This remarkable portable rock art site continues to produce iconic pieces like these in a concentrated area of less than 1/2 acre.

The world of sports betting is full of terms that sometimes do not make sense to the general public. If you are new to the world of sports betting, two words will probably make their way to you very often. These two words are Sharps and Squares. People use these terms to describe primarily the two types of players that you might find in the betting world. The word Square is used to describe the newbies or the non-professional bettors who occasionally dabble in the world of betting. These people make up the majority of sports bettors. On the other hand, Sharps or sharp bettors are professional sports bettors. These people have been in the field for a long time and know it inside out. Here are a few key differences between Sharps and Squares.
What are Squares?
Squares are also known as Casual bettors, Average Joes, and Recreational bettors in the betting circles. People use the word square to describe the person who is new to the betting world or only occasionally bets for fun and recreational purposes. They consider sports betting to be a form of entertainment. They are mostly not good players as they do not take betting very seriously. Most of the people in the sports betting world are squares.
What are Sharps?
Sharps are the professionals of the betting world. They are also called pros and wiseguys and with good reason. These guys are the pros in the field. They are familiar with every bit of the betting world and bet professionally for a living. These veterans are good at what they do and play very well.
What are the Differences between Squares and Sharps?
There are a few ways that you can tell the difference between a sharp and a square bettor.
- Squares tend to bet on the favorites more. While the Sharps take everything into account and bet on the ones they determine are going to win. People who are not professional bettors always tend to bet on the big games and bet for the team that has a better reputation and track record. But professional bettors know that many other things have to be taken into consideration before one can make a wise bet. So they also bet on the underdogs sometimes if they determine that they are more likely to win.
- Sharp bettors tend to bet more money than square bettors. Since they are betting for fun, and most of the time accept their loss even before they bet, square bettors do not bet too much money. They usually play it safe and might bet a very low amount on their favorite team. Sharp bettors, on the other hand, tend to bet a lot more money. They do not only bet on the main game but the side events as well. They bet a lot more money and usually are secure in their bets.
- Sharp bettors do a lot more research. Since they are professional bettors, sharps spend a lot of time coming up with their own betting system. They come up with their odds as well. They match their odds with the sportsbook and take advantage of any discrepancies they might find. Squares on the other hand are usually emotional bettors. They tend to either bet on the favorite or their home team. They do not expect to win and so they do not put in as much work as the Sharps.
- Sharps are not afraid to take risks. Since they do not bet unless they have faith in their calculations, Sharps are often very confident in taking some risks. They are not afraid to bet on an unpopular team, they even bet on the underdog. And since they do not attach emotional value to the money they bet, even losing does not take a toll on them. Unlike the squares, they know that even if they're good, they will lose a lot of time. The important thing is to practice and keep going until you get an edge.
There are a lot of differences between Square and Sharp bettors. But sharp bettors were not made in a day. Every sports bettor starts out as a square. It might take years or decades for one to reach a professional level. The sharps know that they are not going to win every time, and yet they are confident in their bets. Their confidence comes from experience, which is the most important component of any type of betting.

Washington Huskies (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) vs. No. 3 LSU Tigers (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS)
College Football Week 2
Date/Time: Saturday September 8th, 2012. 7:00PM Eastern

Last week the LSU Tigers cruised for an easy victory over North Texas 41-14. The Tigers racked up 316 yards on the ground along with more than 500 total yards on offense. LSU's defense also lived up to their expectations by holding the Mean Green to just 216 yards. Overall it was a solid effort for the nation's 3rd ranked team in one of those cupcake style season openers. This week the Tigers look to receive a little better test when the Washington Huskies roll into Baton Rouge for an entertaining SEC vs. Pac-12 showdown.
Washington seemed a bit shakier in their season opener last week outlasting San Diego State 21-12. The Huskies saw some good things happen on the defensive side of the football where concerns lingered over the offseason. Washington's defense held the Aztecs to 327 total yards and helped their cause by forcing 3 turnovers in the game as well. The downside is that the defense allowed 199 yards rushing and missed several tackles in run defense. Not a good problem to have when you will turn around and battle one of the better power rushing teams in America. The Huskies will have to a better job of bringing down rushers at the point of initial contact this Saturday night or LSU has the talent at tailback to run wild.
Offensively, Washington was a bit rusty in their opener totaling just 328 yards on the afternoon against San Diego State. One impediment occurred early in the first quarter when starting running back Jesse Callier went down with a knee injury. Callier did not even get to make his first carry prior to the injury which was a big blow for the offense. Callier's status is still uncertain heading up to this Saturday. Sophomore tailback Bishop Sankey replaced Callier in the backfield but produced just 66 yards on 22 carries. Obviously Washington hopes their starting tailback will be good to go this weekend and improvements will be seen on the ground.
Despite the offense showing mediocrity, QB Keith Price did play extremely well as expected. Price completed 24 of 34 passing for 213 yards and 1 touchdown. Not only did Price appear very accurate, but his decision making was also on point as well. Sophomore tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins led the team with 8 catches against the Aztecs resulting in 75 receiving yards. Seferian-Jenkins was used greatly as a freshman last season in the passing game and I expect he will have an even bigger impact for the offense in 2012.
Surely Washington's offense will face their biggest challenge of the season this week against the LSU defense. As everyone knows, the Tigers defense carried the team to a perfect regular season in 2011 as the 2nd best group in America. Despite some losses over the offseason, this Tigers' defense is as talented as ever. Led by All Americans DE Sam Montgomery and S Eric Reid, the Tigers likely have the most talented defensive unit in America. This defense knows how to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks and stuff the run up front. Therefore, Washington QB Keith Price will have to spread this defense out and hit some passes to keep the Tigers' defense honest.
On offense, we know that coach Les Miles is going to run the ball often this season. Defense and ball control has been the key to success for Miles' Bayou Bengals. Last week even against North Texas, we saw LSU's commitment to the ground and pound. Tailbacks Kenny Hilliard and Alfred Blue combined for 29 carries resulting in 264 yards and 2 scores. The Tigers had little trouble running between the tackles and that will be their mission this season on offense. However, the x factor lies on the arm of quarterback Zach Mettenberger. The Tigers' have had documented quarterback issues over the last few years. Last week Mettenberger completed 19 of 26 passing for 192 yards with 1 score and 1 pick. Not a bad effort, but then again those numbers came against a much inferior North Texas defense. Still if Mettenberger plays well, he can really add another dimension to the Tigers' offense.
Jay's Pick to Cover the Point Spread:Tigers find their momentum this week and exploit Washington's offensive mediocrity. Take LSU -23.5

E3 2018 – Fire Emblem: Three Houses arrives in 2019
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is coming to the Nintendo Switch in spring 2019, finally putting a name and look to a game teased since the console's launch.
The announcement trailer showed that, as many had speculated, the new Fire Emblem game would use the hardware upgrade to bring some changes. Visually, it retains the character designs and top-down strategic view, but the troop-level attack animations are now much more detailed and immersive. And now that we can actually see groups of soldiers, they've added new troop formations to deepen the strategy aspect. In the end, it reminds us that these are armies waging war, and graphically separates it from mobile games.
That said, Three Houses isn't going to stray from the RPG aspects we've come to expect. Heroes can still gain experience and learn new skills, and they'll still interact with one another during downtime. The player gets to socialize differently too, now that they can freely move around and speak with different people.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses takes place in Fódlan, "where the Church of Seiros exercises great power over the land and people." The title alludes to the three main characters, Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude.

Collect the Stars of the 2015 Women's World Cup
Although women's team sports don't normally get huge publicity in the hobby, much of the world watched the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada. The 24-team tournament featured big performances and several upsets along the way. In the end, the United States notched their first World Cup title since 1999 and became the first country to reach three titles in Women's World Cup history. The following guide looks at the top overall stars to collect from the tournament.
Unfortunately for women's soccer collectors, there is not a huge overall supply of cards for the sport, especially for the teams outside of North America. The 2015 Panini Women's World Cup Stickers set features a detailed look at each team in the tournament and is a great place to start for basic collecting. The budget pricing also makes it relatively affordable, although chasing the full set can get costly.
The list below looks at the top players with more-traditional soccer cards. This does exclude some of the bigger global names, like Celia Sasic (Germany) or Amandine Henry (France), simply because there is not much to collect. Homare Sawa, the long-time star of Japanese soccer, does have several releases from her native country, including autographs, but they can be tougher to locate. Other top Japanese players, like Aya Miyama, have similar cards.
In addition to those covered, there are still many other women's players worth collecting. One particularly intriguing name is Sydney Leroux. The Canadian-born striker plays for the United States and is one of the more dynamic athletes in the sport. She is also married to Dom Dwyer, the English striker for Sporting Kansas City. However, Leroux still has not seen consistent minutes on the stacked U.S. roster.
Those who are interested in more women's soccer choices should check out players from the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) or Women's Professional Soccer (WPS), as they generally have the most cardboard options. Also, major card companies tend to feature top players following the World Cup, so multiple products should contain standouts from the 2015 Women's World Cup during the next year or so.
Top 2015 Women's World Cup Players
Click on the name listings or images to shop for cards on eBay.
Carli Lloyd - United States
Considered by many to be one of the best current players in the world, Carli Lloyd put a largely unimpressive group stage behind her and carried the United States to the title. Her six-goal tournament, all scored in the single-elimination portion of the World Cup, was capped off with a hat trick in the final match. Lloyd won the Golden Ball as the World Cup's best player. She also tied for the overall goal lead, earning her the Silver Boot on a tiebreaker with Celia Sasic.
While her card options are not quite plentiful, collectors has several choices, including an autograph in 2014 Allen & Ginter. Given her incredible run in the World Cup, expect many more Carli Lloyd cards to be on the way.
View the top ten cards for Carli Lloyd here.
- 2008 SI Kids
- 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends Autographs
- 2014 Topps Allen & Ginter Autographs
Abby Wambach - United States
Arguably the top name in soccer over the last few years, Abby Wambach is virtually unmatched in terms of her scoring ability and accolades. Although her role was much less prevalent than in previous years, Wambach finally has her World Cup title in her last appearance on the sport's biggest stage. Given her long career and considerable success, Wambach is one of the most heavily covered options for collectors.
- 2003 SI Kids (December)
- 2004 Leather and Lumber Fans of the Game Autographs #4
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS #200
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS WPS Marks
- 2011 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions Autographs
- 2012 Topps U.S. Olympic Team Autographs
- 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends Autographs
Megan Rapinoe - United States
One of the most technically skilled players in the World Cup, Megan Rapinoe made her biggest mark early in the tournament. Her two-goal performance helped the United States overcome a sluggish start to claim a 3-1 win over Australia. Rapinoe's card choices are mostly limited to one product, but she has several different cards in 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends.
- 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends Autographs
- 2012 Panini Father's Day
Alex Morgan - United States
Injuries have somewhat slowed her ascent, but Alex Morgan is viewed by many as the future for American soccer. Her 2015 World Cup was not especially memorable, but she played hard when she saw the field and will be the clear face of the team in the next World Cup. Because of her popularity, expect card options for Alex Morgan to build rapidly in the future.
- 2011 SP Game Used #76 #/499
- 2011 Upper Deck MLS WPS Super Draft Exclusives Autographs
- 2012 Topps U.S. Olympic Team Autographs
- 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends Autographs
- 2013 Leaf Sports Heroes Autographs
Hope Solo - United States
Off-field issues have diminished her mainstream appeal, but Hope Solo remains one of the best goalies in the world and the most polarizing figure in the sport. Solo was named the Golden Glove winner as the top goalkeeper in the 2015 Women's World Cup. She also has the most card options of any player in the tournament, including quite a few autographs.
- 2008 Donruss Sports Legends #114
- 2008 Donruss Sports Legends Collegiate Legends Patch Autographs #8 #/244
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS #198
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS WPS Marks #/100
- 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter Autographs
- 2011 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions Autographs
- 2012 Topps U.S. Olympic Team Autographs
- 2012 Americana Heroes and Legends Autographs
- 2015 Americana Signatures #6
Marta - Brazil
Like the other Brazilian greats, Marta is a huge soccer star with strong recognition and one name. Brazil remains one of the best teams in the world and Marta is a huge reason for that. Although they made it out of the Group Stage undefeated, Brazil was upset by Australia in the Round of 16. Marta's card market is more limited than the other names, but her time in the WPS league resulted in several cards.
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS #195
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS WPS Marks
- 2010 Upper Deck World of Sports Autographs #113
- 2011 SP Game Used #60
Christine Sinclair - Canada
Another women's soccer heavyweight, Christine Sinclair is the greatest Canadian soccer player of all-time and received increased exposure as the top player for the home team. She also happens to play club soccer in the United States, which means there are multiple cards available from 2010 and 2011 products. Like Brazil, Canada was sent home early. Given her age, Sinclair is likely nearing the end of her career.
- 2010 Upper Deck MLS WPS Marks
- 2010 Upper Deck World of Sports Autographs #116
- 2011 SP Game Used #58
- 2011 Upper Deck World of Sports #395 SP

It looks like Earnest Pugh has another runaway hit on his hands. "I Need You to Breathe," the first single off of his upcoming album, is #1 Most Added and Greatest Gainer at radio, with an early position of #19, after only one week on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart. "This is nothing short of amazing," says Pugh, who has been traveling the country promoting the song. "The favor of God is upon this effort." Pugh adds: "This song is taking over my live set on the road every weekend. I believe it is resonating because it is a simple conversation with GOD about my dependence upon Him for the very breath that I breathe. It is not about riffs, runs, or even range…it is a moment of pure transparency."
Written by Ken Hoskins, Lucius B. Hoskins, Shone Williams and Alfred Singleton (The Singletons), and produced by Lucious Hoskins, "I Need You to Breathe" is the lead single off of Pugh's forthcoming CD entitled Fully Persuaded, which will be released on his P-Man Music Group Label. Michael Bereal, who produced Pugh's #1 hits "Rain on Us" and "I Need Your Glory", will helm this project, along with Lucius B. Hoskins and Cedric Thompson. Fully Persuaded will feature guest artists including Kierra Sheard, Dottie Peoples and Christian Hip-Hop artist Sarge. The CD title Fully Persuaded is taken from Romans 4:21: "And being fully persuaded that what GOD promised He was able also to perform." "I want to remind the people that God is a promise keeper," says Pugh. "If He said it…know that He's going to do it…if He's spoken it, it shall come to pass."Visit www.earnestpugh.com for more information, including his tour schedule.

Journey into Fear is a 1943 American spy film directed by Norman Foster, based on the 1940 Eric Ambler novel of the same name.[1] The film broadly follows the plot of the book, but the protagonist was changed to an American engineer, and the destination of his journey changed from France to the Soviet Union - reflecting the changes in the war situation since the original Ambler book was written (France was occupied, the US and Soviet Union joined the war and became allies).[2] The RKO Pictures release stars Joseph Cotten, who also wrote the screenplay with Orson Welles. The Mercury Production was also produced by Welles, again uncredited.
In 2005, an alternate cut was shown at a Welles film retrospective at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland. It was the original European release print, lacking the narration and ending of the US version but including about six minutes of footage deleted by RKO Pictures.

1948 British Espionage Film... Drama on a Train
In an opening scene before the credits, the assassin Banat is seen preparing a gun while a gramophone sticks as it plays. The story that follows is the narrative of a letter from Howard Graham, an American armaments engineer, to his wife Stephanie. While journeying to the Soviet port of Batumi to return to the United States to complete his business with the Turkish Navy, Graham and his wife stop in Istanbul and are met by Kopeikin, a Turkish employee of Graham's company. Under the pretense of discussing business, he takes Graham to a nightclub to introduce him to the dancer Josette Maretl and her partner Gogo. Banat tries unsuccessfully to kill Graham during a magic act but shoots the magician instead. Graham is brought to the headquarters of the Turkish secret police for questioning, where Colonel Haki blames the assassination attempt on German agents seeking to delay the rearming of Turkish ships.
The colonel shows Graham a photograph of Banat, who he says was hired by a Nazi agent named Muller. Haki then orders Graham to travel secretly to Batumi aboard a tramp steamer, and Haki personally oversees the safe overland transit of Stephanie.
Graham's fellow passengers include Josette and Gogo; Kuvetli, an ingratiating Turkish tobacco salesman; Professor Haller, an apolitical German archeologist; and the henpecked Matthews and his French wife. Josette sees that Graham is frightened. Not knowing that he is married, she tries to become close to him. At an interim port call, Graham is made aware of the arrival of a new passenger by the annoying clamor of a gramophone. Haller warns him that Kuvetli is not who he claims to be. At dinner, Graham recognizes Banat and tries to persuade the ship's captain and purser to put him ashore, but they believe that he is crazy. Graham turns to Josette for help. She has Gogo engage Banat in a poker game while Graham unsuccessfully searches Banat's cabin for the assassin's gun.
When Graham returns to his own cabin, he is met by an armed Haller. Graham deduces that he is actually Muller, who offers to spare Graham's life by delaying his return to the US for six weeks by having him taken to a hospital with a case of "typhus." Muller warns him that Kuvetli is a Turkish agent sent by Haki and warns Graham that he will be killed if he confides the plan to the Turk.
Kuvetli was eavesdropping from the next cabin, however, and informs Graham that Muller's "plan" is just a scheme to get Graham away from the ship before he murders him. Kuvetli instructs Graham to pretend to agree to the plan but, before the ship docks in Batumi, to hide himself in an empty cabin while the Turkish agent arranges for the arrest of the German agents.
When Graham goes to the empty cabin, he finds Kuvetli dead on the floor, murdered by Banat. Graham asks Mathews to deliver a message to the Turkish consul in Batumi to notify Haki. Matthews gives the unarmed Graham a pocketknife. Graham runs into Gogo, who bluntly offers to "give up" Josette for Graham to marry for a cash consideration.
Muller and Banat coerce Graham into a waiting car. When the car has a flat tire, Graham jams Matthews' pocketknife into the horn and, in the ensuing commotion, jumps into the driver's seat, crashes the car into a shop window, and escapes. That night, as a storm rages, Graham joins his wife at their hotel, but Muller arrives there first by impersonating a coworker from Graham's company.
Banat intimidates Graham from leaving and Muller persuades Stephanie to join Haki downstairs while he "talks business" with Graham. He leaves Graham to be killed by Banat, but Gogo enters the room to promote his deal for Josette and Banat shoots at him. Graham flees out of the room's window onto the cornice of the building in the torrential rain, pursued by Banat and Muller. Trapped between them, he is saved when Haki appears and shoots Muller. Banat wounds Haki but, blinded by the rain, misses Graham. The two struggle, and Banat falls to his death. Back in the present, Haki tells Graham as he finishes the letter that Stephanie is waiting for him but wonders why the engineer took decisive action when he had been so indecisive earlier. Graham tears up the now-completed letter and tells Haki, "I got mad. Spent too much time running away."

RKO bought the film rights to the novel in 1941 intending to use it as a vehicle for Michèle Morgan.[5] Morgan's intended American debut Joan of Paris was postponed; Ben Hecht was signed to write the script, Robert Stevenson was to direct and David Hempstead to produce.[6] Fred Astaire was discussed as the male lead.[7] Dennis O'Keefe was also discussed.[8]
Eventually Joseph Cotten was assigned the lead on the basis of his performance in Citizen Kane.[9]
In July, Stevenson was assigned to another movie, resulting in Morgan doing Joan of Paris after all.[10]
In July 1941 it was announced that Orson Welles would play a lead role and direct the film.[11] He would do this following completion of his second movie, The Magnificent Ambersons, and aimed to do it before commencing on It's All True.[12]
Welles disregarded Hecht's script and wrote a new one with Joseph Cotten. He also brought in Jack Moss from Paramount as producer.[13]
Welles's involvement saw the addition to the cast of other people from his stock company, such as Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead and Everett Sloane. Morgan was no longer associated with the film, being replaced by Dolores del Río.
Welles's work on Ambersons would mean that ultimately, he was unable to direct the movie. He gave the job to Norman Foster, who had impressed Welles with his screenwriting work on It's All True.[14][15]
Journey into Fear was in production January 6 – March 12, 1942.[3] The director was Norman Foster. Peter Bogdanovich later asked Welles if he had anything to do with directing the scene on the building ledge. "Well, we all did—whoever was nearest the camera, there was no other way to get it made, because of the difficulties", Welles said. "It was a terrible situation." The cast and crew had all been working for 24 hours to complete Welles's scenes before he departed for Brazil, to film It's All True. "It was a collaborative effort", Welles said.[16]: 165
Welles did produce and design the picture and wrote the script with Joseph Cotten. Welles's main contribution as producer was the opening sequence in which the assassin listens to an old gramophone record while loading his gun. Welles said that at the time he thought he was the first to come up with a scene before the titles begin. He later learned that Lewis Milestone had done it in Of Mice and Men, a film Welles hadn't seen.[16]: 166
Modern filmographies acknowledge Welles's contributions as director, producer and screenwriter.[16]: 377 [17]: 306
During the film's post-production, Welles was fired by RKO and his Mercury unit told to leave the studio. The film was edited without Welles's involvement.[18][19]
According to Mark Robson, " They made an incomplete film; that is to say, the film was finished but it had no finish. It had wonderful things in it, but it also had much that was very silly." Robson says he "was on very good terms with" Welles "and asked him if I could try to put Journey into Fear back into some continuity that would please him. He agreed and I did. He was quite pleased with the results and only then consented to come in and make a finish to the picture."[20]
Box office
According to RKO records, the film made a loss of $193,000.[21]
Home media
Turner Home Entertainment released the film on laserdisc in 1989 and on VHS (Cat. No. 2049) in 1991. It has been released on DVD in Italy.
Film memorabilia
In an auction April 26, 2014, a script of Journey into Fear was sold for $7,500[22] and a collection of approximately 180 stills and production photos sold for $2,375.[23] The materials were among those found in boxes and trunks of Welles's personal possessions by his daughter Beatrice Welles.[24]

The Piano Guys are probably having more fun than anyone else in the classical music business. The group — composed of a pianist, cellist, a videographer, and a music producer — has just released a music video that celebrates nearly 50 years of Batman. The video perfectly matches the group's new "Batman Evolution" composition, which travels through the classic '60s TV show, Tim Burton's 1989 take on the Dark Knight, and Christopher Nolan's most recent trilogy.
The result is not just some impressive piano and cello work (the two instruments alone were used to make every sound in the composition), but a music video that displays some incredible attention to detail. Each of the three eras gets its own location, Batmobile, and visual style to go along with the shifts in music. (Pay close attention to the aspect ratio: even it is tailored to each era.) The Piano Guys have made a name for themselves doing these kinds of over-the-top classical music videos, and while this might be some of their best work, be sure to check out their Mission Impossible, Bourne Identity, and Star Wars music videos as well. And for more on the making of "Batman Evolution," take a look at the group's website.

Production Photo Via ConFest Chicago
The Consortium of Asian American Theaters & Artists (CAATA), the national organizers of ConFest 2018, supports the Hawaiian people's indigenous language reclamation. CAATA condemns the actions of Aloha Poke Co. and supports the peaceful rally Wednesday, Aug. 15, near the restaurant's Lincoln Park location at 818 W. Fullerton Ave, from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.
On the eve of ConFest 2018, board members of the Consortium of Asian American Theaters and Artists (CAATA) were disturbed to hear of the actions of Aloha Poke Co., a Chicago-based business, demanding restaurants across the country "Cease and Desist" using the words "Aloha" and "Poke" in their names on the basis of copyright infringement. CAATA would like to express support for the Hawaiian people and the reclamation of the Hawaiian language. After a 90-year history of 'olelo Hawai'i being banned from use in schools, CAATA supports the freedom of Native Hawaiians to use their own indigenous language as they see fit, without restriction from outside entities or fear of legal actions.
As Andi Meyer, CAATA board member and artistic director of Tradewind Arts (Kansas City, MO), said, "Speaking as an artist of mixed Native Hawaiian descent, I feel that reclamation of language and artistic self-representation are paramount to our ability to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture after years of forced decline. It seems a perfect confluence of events that these artists are scheduled to be in Chicago at this time, when the overall CAATA conference theme happens to be "Revolutionary Acts!" As a board member, I hope the greater Chicagoland audience will take advantage of this unparalleled opportunity to both support the voices of Native Hawaiian artists, and also to value the many underrepresented voices that exist in their own community."
This year CAATA is proud to include a stellar roster of Native Hawaiian theatre makers and an entire slate of Native Hawaiian conference offerings.
Participants and Hawaiian-themed events included in this year's ConFest 2018 include:

A first time survey of free-living protozoa in meat-cutting plants showed high diversity rates of various species including those that could harbor food-borne pathogens say researchers from Ghent University, Belgium.
Protozoa are unicellular microorganisms that feed on bacteria. Sometimes the bacteria survive and replicate within the protozoa. Although bacterial presence in meat-processing environments has been previously examined, no studies of protozoan communities in these environments and their role in food contamination have been conducted.
In the study researchers used a series of methods to screen for protozoa in five meat-cutting plants and found communities of amoebae, ciliates, and flagellates to be present in all. Protozoa were detected in floor drains, standing water on the floor, soiled bars of cutting tables, plastic pallets and out-of-use hot water knife sanitizers. In addition, protozoa were identified on surfaces which come into direct contact with meat, such as conveyor belts, surfaces of cutting tables, and needles of meat tenderizers.
Cultures were then refrigerated for seven days, after which protozoa were still detected in half of the samples. Through microscopic observations researchers identified up to 61 morphospecies.
"This survey showed that there is high protozoan species richness in meat-cutting plants and that the species included species related to known hosts of food-borne pathogens," say the researchers.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited disease, characterized by congenital malformations, short stature, progressive bone marrow failure and predisposition to leukemia and solid tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and prognostic features of FA patients followed in a single center.
The charts of FA patients were reviewed 35 years retrospectively and a total of 175 patients were included in the study in which 51.4% of patients were male. The mean age at diagnosis was 6.3±4.1 years. The incidence of microcephaly was 92.6%, skin findings were 88.0%, eye abnormality was 74.3%, thumb and radius abnormality was 53.1%, urinary system abnormality was 30.9%, skeletal system abnormality other than thumb and radius was 18.9%, genital system abnormality was 11.4%, cardiovascular system abnormality was 11.4%, ear and hearing abnormalities were 9.7% and gastrointestinal system abnormality was 5.7%. Short stature was present in 75.4% of the patients. Of the 175 patients 167 (95.4%) developed bone marrow failure during follow-up and the mean age of bone marrow failure was 7.1 ±3.7 years (1 month-old-19.8 years). The first clinical symptom was thrombocytopenia in 83.4% of patients. Malignancy developed in a total of 23 (13.1 %) patients (20 leukemia, 3 solid tumors) during follow-up. Of 175 patients, 35 (20%) underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Fatality rate among patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 31.4% (11/35) and fatality rate among other patients was 63.4% (83/131; p<0.05). Of 94 patients who deceased, death was due to bleeding in 44.7%, infection in 34%, leukemia progression in 16.0% and graft versus host disease in 5.3%.
In terms of the number of patients included, this study is one of the largest cohorts with a remarkable duration of follow-up time. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was found to have a good impact on sur vival of patients.Keywords : Fanconi anemia, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, congenital anomalies, leukemia, mortality
