Novelist Abdellah Taia, who has won acclaim in France and readers abroad, has challenged a taboo in his native Morocco and won't back down: he is the first writer to come out as gay in a country that bans homosexuality.
For 37-year-old Taia, who has lived in Paris for the last decade, being homosexual and Muslim are not mutually exclusive. He "feels Muslim" and is from a country where Islam is the state religion.
"I am the first Moroccan writer who has spoken openly about his homosexuality, to acknowledge it, but without turning my back on the country I'm from," he said.
"My homosexuality, I already felt it from the age of 13, at school.
"But despite this, I feel Muslim. There is no incompatibility between Islam and choices of sexual identity," he told AFP on a recent visit back to Morocco.
Taia, who writes in French and has been translated into Spanish and English, emerged from obscurity to make a splash on the French literary scene with novels such as the 2005 "Le Rouge du Tarbouche" (The Red of the Fez), an autobiographical account of his life in Paris, where he moved in 1999.
In November, he was awarded the prestigious 2010 Prix Flore for young authors.
A slim, soft-spoken man with a timid smile, the writer was born in a working-class neighborhood in Sale, the Moroccan capital Rabat's twin city, into a childhood marked by deep poverty.
"My father was a chaouch (messenger) at the national library in Rabat. We were nine children who lived on top of each other in two rooms," he said.
"There was nothing to eat. You had to fight to eat. We spent our days on the streets. We were barefoot." His mother, a housewife, was illiterate.
After studying French literature at university in Morocco, Taia, then 26, moved to Paris, pursuing a doctorate at the Sorbonne and writing his first novels.
"Le Rouge du Tarbouche" describes his "dream of writing" in Paris, "a city that doesn't lift you up if you fall". The book, his second, was also the first to mention his homosexuality.
Notoriety back home came two years later, in 2007, when Taia openly proclaimed his homosexuality in a frank interview with TelQuel, an independent Moroccan weekly known to take a critical line towards the government.
The writer quickly came under fire from part of the press and from Islamic circles in Morocco, where homosexuality — as in most Arab states — is considered a criminal offence.
In Morocco, it is punishable by six months to three years in prison but like liquor and wine consumption — proscribed for Muslims under Moroccan law — is tolerated provided practitioners don't flaunt their difference.
"For me homosexuality is not a cause, but a personal freedom. It is normal that I defend homosexuals because they are oppressed individuals," Taia told AFP.
Despite the scandal, Taia continues to spend much time in Morocco, where "obviously the fact that I am a writer published by big French houses protects me" from being persecuted for his sexual orientation.
Taia said he is "very attached to Morocco" and that "despite everything, I feel here like everybody else. I come from the same world."
He also feels the country is slowly changing and becoming more tolerant of differences.
"Despite some regression in Morocco, over the last 10 years there have been extraordinary things in terms of declarations of personal freedoms by many parts of Moroccan society," he said.
For Taia, the vocal conservatives who often dominate debate in the Islamic world are not a true reflection of how most Muslims feel.
"These trends, which are in the minority, are the result of the failure of social policy in the Arab world," he said.
"What interests me is the overwhelming majority, people who are simply Muslims and to whom I feel I belong."

- In local authorities, friendly officers may help with background information and advice, both technical and political.
- Be sensitive to local political circumstances.
- Commitments requiring immediate expenditure by the ruling party will meet resistance. It is sometimes better to make progress in stages - getting a policy adopted in principle before working to translate it into expenditure and activity.

Shoulder Press Weightlifting
Rogue Beater Bar
The Beater bar is a 31 MM bar with no center knurling and has Olympic knurling marks. The shaft is black zinc and the sleeves are bright zinc coated. This bar is not made for competitive olifts, it is meant to be the bar that takes a high rep beating where the diameter of the shaft is not essential.
Rogue ES-1 Echo Squat Stand
Just the bare essentials. This stand can handle your 500LB back squat with ease. We went back to the drawing board and came up with a squat stand for those of you on a budget. Still constructed at the Rogue Factory in Columbus Ohio, this stand is everything you expect from Rogue: a heavy duty quality made piece of equipment. We didn't cut any corners on this one. Now you can get a US made squat stand for the same price others are selling flimsy imports for.
HG Rogue Bumpers
Plate diameter: 450mm (IWF Standard is 450mm). Collar opening: 50.40mm. Insert type: Stainless Steel.

In a statement released through Notre Dame Tuesday evening, Danny Spond and the university's team physician explained the specific nature of the medical issue that forced the now-former linebacker to give up the sport.
In the statement, Spond confirmed that he has suffered from hemiplegic migraines over the past year. Dr. Jennifer Malcolm explained that the type of migraine Spond suffers from "present[s] with temporary stroke-like symptoms, such as weakness and slurred speech."
Spond said he suffered "another paralyzing migraine early in fall camp," which "forced [me] to walk away from the game with an extremely heavy heart." Despite what Spond described as "the best medical treatment and guidance possible. … an exact cause of these migraines remains undetermined."
In 2012, Spond missed the first two games of the season due to the migraines. He came back to start the final 11 games of the year.
Spond is on track to graduate next spring with a degree in political science.
Below is the complete statement from Spond:
"My football playing career is over after suffering another paralyzing migraine early in fall camp. I've received the best medical treatment and guidance possible. Unfortunately, an exact cause of these migraines remains undetermined, and in order to assure my overall well-being, I'm forced to walk away from the game with an extremely heavy heart.
"This has been an incredibly difficult time for me and my family, but by the Grace of God, we can find comfort in His greater plan. Being a man of God and an ambassador for his word, I have come to realize that in times of questioning His plan you have to let go and let God take over, and that is what I am doing. I've played this game my entire life, and losing it makes me feel as if I have lost something inside. But I find comfort in knowing my Lord will open the next chapter in my life and fill what's been taken.
"I want to sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank each and every person who has supported me and my career at Notre Dame for their thoughts and prayers. You are the greatest people and fans in this world and make Notre Dame the most righteous University that I could ever represent; I love each and every one of you so very much. I promise to continue to give all I can to this University this year by coaching my position and providing senior leadership in all ways. You may no longer hear my name on the field, but I promise you, this is not the last you will hear of Danny Spond. With God, my family, and Notre Dame, I will persevere to do great things."

Pelini Squashes Penn State Rumors
Head Husker Coach Calls Reports Irresponsible
Bo Pelini knows how quickly rumors spread in Nebraska when it comes to the Husker football team, so the coach cleared the air right away on Tuesday. Pelini said he was not interviewed for the head coaching job at Penn State.
Pelini called the rumors irresponsible reports and chuckled at the notion before he began his question and answer session after practice.
"There is all kinds of speculation all the time," he said. "I don't address all those rumors and irresponsible reports that are going on. If I addressed every opening that was going on in the country, I wouldn't do anything else."
One thing Pelini does have to do is make a decision on senior center Mike Caputo's status for the Capitol One Bowl. The coach said that will come in the next couple of days.
Linebacker Eric Martin will play in the bowl against South Carolina. He was recently ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident. Pelini called the collision a "fender bender" and said Martin will be disciplined, saying Martin will miss out on some of the bowl week activities in Orlando.

Assembly has finally begun.
Since my Interior Project is now complete -> https://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2772227, I finally had some time to start assembly of my Hybrid 2L-20v G60.
Planning, parts gathering, prototyping and machine work has been going on for about the last 6 months, but Assembly finally started yesterday. And progress has been great with no snags thus far.
Here is the plan for those who don't frequent the G60 Forum:
- 2L ABA Bored to 83mm with Custom JE Forged Pistons (9.25:1)
- ABA OBDI block with Forged Internals, ARP hardware, Resized and Shot peened rods
- AEB 20v Head (Large Port)
- Custom Modified SuperSprint SS Mk2 16v Header re-Flanged for 20V
- Light PnP and gasket matching
- Stage IV G60 , Pulley size TBD to match higer revs
- MsnS-e
- FMIC Precision Core under Dietrich RS
- Euro AGU Intake
- some other stuff
1.) Before I begin, let's get some semantics out of the way. This project is not about "the biggest numbers on the tex" so please don't talk about Big Turbos "BTs" here.
2.) If you have any basic questions on 20v Hybrids, please visit this thread -> https://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1674618. Al ot of details on my research and specifics are in there.
3.) Although I am not the first 2020 by far, my setup will definitely be unique and will be full trim with A/C.
3.) pic centric thread as usual.

Real Proof! The Economic Recovery IS Happening In Grand Rapids!
Mart Twain said it best: There are lies, damned lies and statistics. THESE statistics are not lies, however, and paint a slightly rosier picture of the economic state we in Grand Rapids are in.
According to the Brookings Institute "Metro Monitor - December 2012" report, Grand Rapids has the 8th best economic recovery since the "Great Recession of 2008" Way to go GR! Here;s some of the findings from the report "In summary: Overall performance"
"The overall pace of economic recovery was strong in a handful of areas including Texas, where the recession was less severe and oil and gas have boomed; in western Florida and parts of California and the Intermountain West where the housing and labor markets are rebounding; in some Midwestern manufacturing centers like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Toledo; and in the Pacific Northwest. By contrast, the recovery has proceeded more slowly in the Northeast where many metro areas had relatively minor recessions when compared with faster-recovering markets. As a result, they are closer to pre-recession levels of jobs, output, and home prices than many harder hit places."
This is one of the GOOD top 10 lists Grand Rapids makes! Still one of the best places to live in the country!

Understandably in this economy, most small businesses are on the cheap, the problem lies with a misunderstanding of the needs of your business. As a business owner, there are many things in your business you can cut, even fixed expenses can be cut but the one thing that you should not go on the complete cheap on is your website, either the one you presently have or the one you are planning on building.
There are items that can be cut which include some of the functionality or even the size of the site, but what cannot be cut is your website is properly optimized for organic search results, this is singularly the most important part of any website and usually this is what small companies overlook as most businesses or individuals think that simply putting a great looking website online will bring in the business, it won't! Some will hire a designer that says he knows SEO when all he really knows is the proper way to mow his yard, before settling on a someone to build your new website you will need to do some homework.
Honestly, small business people need to have a basic understanding of being online or simply as for example of rankings on a website that the designer has done, this is the simplest way to see if he even has a basic understanding of what organic SEO is even about. If his or her website only ranks for their business name then they do not know squat on what organic SEO is even about, or if they just load up the title tags with keywords that have no relevance to the content then they have a very basic understanding of the process, though If they are charging you for this your website may end up in the sandbox for spamming.
You do not have to believe me but to be honest, I have been doing this for over 20 years now and my websites are some of the highest ranked websites for relevant keywords that pertain the what the business is and does. Personally I have made many people a lot of money over the years and still, today do work for these companies, while other people have paid me to teach them and today make a lot of money doing the same thing and of course they do it right.
If you are on a budget then start small and grow with the website business that Is created, having the updates made to your website with profits as this is a much better choice than go on the cheap and only get a nice design and all of the functionality as you will be paying and paying a lot more in the short term with the major search engines as you will have to buy rankings for the keywords relevant to your business. This is what most SEO's actually do, they charge you a premium and then they pay GOOGLE, MSN or even YAHOO for the rankings and you're out of pocket expense will never go down, in fact, this could cost thousands a month as opposed to just having the expense upfront one time. Many of the websites I personally have done have not needed updates for a year or more and still rank well on the search engines, though the websites I maintain are updated at least every 3 months as the search engines like fresh content.
My development company offers a wide range of options from just getting started to a high-end website with all of the functionality, of course, all of our websites are properly optimized for local, regional and global rankings, you also need to understand that global ranking are not attained quickly but built over time and incorporate much more than simply having a website online as the rankings of your competitor will come into major play and how many incoming links their websites have in addition to how they are optimized. As for local and regional results you can attain these quite quickly and start the business rolling again, of course, there is the competition factor, meaning how your competitor website is done.
I can do a site survey for you prior to building your online business to give you a good idea on how you will be ranked along with a time frame it will take to achieve that ranking at no additional charge. The best advice I can give to anyone that wants an online business is to not to wait till you are broke to start your online business.
Good luck with your online business and I hope that I have added some insight on getting started and remember proof of rankings before having a company do your website. See how their websites rank, no rankings then I would not be cutting any checks.

Did you hear? Mary J. Blige's marriage to record producer Kendu Isaacs saved her from a legacy of rage, resentment, and self-destruction. Of course, that's the softer, gentler, feature-friendly image that onetime wild-child Mary J. has been pushing (and pushing!) in interviews and acceptance speeches over the past few years. But lest you still think of Mary J. as more hardcore hip-hop singer than hardcore housewife, just take a look at the new issue of domestic-goddess mag Redbook. (Mary J. Blige? In Redbook? Yeah, weird.) Apparently, Mary J. "requested" that the magazine's editors airbrush her tattoos for her cover image on the May issue. Gone from her famously-toned bod: "a cross on her left arm and her name in English script letters on the other," reports WWD.
'We think [Blige] is just gorgeous — tattoos or no tattoos," said Redbook editor in chief Stacy Morrison. 'We were just disappointed that her management requested that we airbrush them from her photos because they are so much a part of who she is. But the ink doesn't make the woman."
No, but caving into the demands of a woman who doesn't even represent your target demo does make you sort of a pussy!
No More Ink[WWD]

TORONTO - The Occupy protest is the most important democratic social movement of the last two generations and demonstrators who have taken over parks and other public spaces should be left alone, an expert in social movements said Wednesday.
As civic authorities across Canada and the U.S. move to end the various occupations, Vincent Mosco, professor emeritus of sociology at Queen's University, said the "extraordinary" movement had created a rarely seen coalition.
"When you see trade unionists, students, minority groups and others coming together, locking arms across sites in North America, what we have here is something unprecedented — at least in recent memory," Mosco said from Ottawa.
"It's everywhere — not just in large cities, but in small towns throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and elsewhere."
Mosco's study of social movements began outside the Pentagon in 1967 when 100,000 anti-Vietnam War protesters began changing the course of history.
Back in the 1970s, he said, construction workers beat up anti-war students in the streets of New York City.
More recently, construction workers went with their own protest signs and joined the Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Zuccotti Park.
Earlier this week, authorities cleared the Manhattan plaza, saying the protesters who spawned the global movement in September could return, but without tents or sleeping bags.
In Canada, authorities in several cities have already ended their occupations, while others are pushing to do so.
Lawyers for the city went to B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking an injunction against protesters ensconced outside the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Ben Parkin, a lawyer for the city, told Associate Chief Justice Anne MacKenzie that Occupy Vancouver is in breach of the land-regulation bylaw and said the protesters are trespassing.
"There's no dispute people have erected structures ... on the property," Parkin said. "(There's) no issue on the basic facts there is a breach."
In Toronto, the courts will hear a constitutional challenge to municipal bylaws on Friday as the city presses to evict Occupy Toronto participants from the downtown park that turned functioning mini-village after it sprang up with a few tents Oct. 15.
In Calgary, where two people were hurt in a tent fire at the Occupy site early Wednesday, protesters were under orders to leave immediately, but there was no immediate indication of compliance or enforcement.
Regina police and city bylaw officials cleared the last tents from Victoria Park early Wednesday after earlier ticketing the two remaining occupants.
In all cases, civic authorities complained the protesters were in violation of bylaws in taking over public spaces.
But Mosco, who has visited the protest sites in New York, Vancouver and Ottawa, sees it very differently.
While public areas are being "contested" everywhere, he said, most of the disruption has been the "private invasion" of such places.
"We're observing a process of commercializing and privatizing public space, and we should be outraged by it," Mosco said.
"But we don't hear about limits on public space until a genuine public movement raising significant political issues decides to make use of public space."
Mosco said he believed the movement would survive because of its significance, even if protesters end up evicted from their last remaining strongholds.
Most likely, he said, the protests would simply pop up again, either in the same places or in new ones.
At their heart, the protests around the world have taken aim at the growing gap between rich and poor.
No matter what happens, Mosco said they have already made people pay attention to issues of wealth distribution and democracy.
"That they've sparked debate is an indication that they've already succeeded," Mosco said.

Bestselling Australian novelist Bryce Courtenay passed away in Canberra last Thursday after a battle with cancer. Rest in peace Bryce.
Media Statement
Issued by Penguin Group (Australia) on behalf of Christine Courtenay
It is with sadness Penguin Group (Australia) wish to advise that Bryce Courtenay AM passed away peacefully at 11:30pm on Thursday 22 November in Canberra with his wife Christine, son Adam and his beloved pets Tim, the dog, and Cardamon, the Burmese cat by his side. He was 79.
Christine Courtenay said this morning, "We'd like to thank all of Bryce's family and friends and all of his fans around the world for their love and support for me and his family as he wrote the final chapter of his extraordinary life. And may we make a request for privacy as we cherish his memory."
Gabrielle Coyne, Chief Executive Officer, Penguin Group (Australia) said, "It has been our great privilege to be Bryce's publisher for the past 15 years. We, as well as his many fans will forever miss Bryce's indomitable spirit, his energy and his commitment to storytelling."
Bob Sessions, Bryce Courtenay's long standing Publisher at Penguin said, "Bryce took up writing in his fifties, after a successful career in advertising. His output and his professionalism made him a pleasure to work with, and I'm happy to say he became a good friend, referring to me as 'Uncle Bob', even when we were robustly negotiating the next book contract. He was a born storyteller, and I would tell him he was a 'latter-day Charles Dickens', with his strong and complex plots, larger-than-life characters, and his ability to appeal to a large number of readers.
"Virtually each year for the last 15 years, I have worked with Bryce on a new novel. He would write a 600 page book in around six months, year in, year out. To achieve that feat he used what he called 'bum glue', sometimes writing for more than 12 hours a day. He brought to writing his books the same determination and dedication he showed in the more than 40 marathons he ran, most of them when he was well over 50. Not to have a new Bryce Courtenay novel to work on will leave a hole in my publishing life. Not to have Bryce Courtenay in my life, will be to miss the presence of a very special friend."
The last word belongs to Bryce himself. In a moving epilogue in his final book, Bryce said to readers "It's been a privilege to write for you and to have you accept me as a storyteller in your lives. Now, as my story draws to an end, may I say only, 'Thank you. You have been simply wonderful.'

The Man From St. PetersburgBook - 1982
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Pre-WW1 novel with a Russian connection to England. An enjoyable read.
an early Follett that I had forgotten. Easy style of writing, covers a bit of the Russian English connection quite well.
A political thriller about the situation in Europe in the early twentieth century, alternating with the chase of police, the escape over the rooftops and melodrama. Oh, and all the characters, no matter what side they belong to, are noble and to smart, that generally it is not realistic,
Some of same themes & characters from Fall of Giants, but with different names. Exciting read.
The Man from St. Petersburg ---- by Ken Follett c - 2003/ orig. 1982 ---- An Excellent story ---- I will recheck my notes but methinks they also made a movie of this story. ---- Enjoy! ---- RichardPaul

WASHINGTON (AP) — A buttoned-down Prince Harry joined Michelle Obama in honoring military families Thursday and toured an exhibition in Congress about land-mines, opening a weeklong U.S. visit devoted to the wounded victims of war. Shrieking onlookers gave him the pop-star treatment, but he was all royal business.
The British soldier-prince had one of America's most storied wounded warriors, the wisecracking Sen. John McCain, at his side as he viewed a display of land-mine photos, maps and mine-detection equipment, staged by a charity held dear by his late mother, Princess Diana.
As the prince entered the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building near the Capitol, he was greeted by a roar and shouts of "Harry!" from a crowd of about 500 people, nearly all of them women. They crowded a roped-off hallway and stairway with a view of the exhibit, hoisting their cellphones and tablets to get a picture. Harry didn't visibly react except to give a polite wave.
McCain, with a laugh, said he told Harry "I've never seen, in all the years I've been here, such an unbalanced gender crowd."
From there it was on to the White House for a previously unannounced visit with the first lady, Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, and military mothers and children at an afternoon tea. Harry joined with the children in helping the kids make Mother's Day gifts from tulip and rose bouquets, vegetable chips and edible dough jewelry gathered in the State Dining Room.
For the prince, the Washington settings were a world away from the Afghanistan war zone where he recently served for 20 weeks as a co-pilot gunner in an Apache attack helicopter. It was just as far removed from his hijinks in a Las Vegas hotel room last summer, when fuzzy photos got out of a naked Harry playing strip billiards.
McCain, R-Ariz., who was shot down over North Vietnam and tortured as a captive, said he told the prince that "he was probably a much better pilot than I was."
As for the prince's reputation for cutting loose on occasion, McCain joked that the British diplomatic reception and dinner later in the evening was sure to be a "wild and raucous affair."
It was a glittering one, at least, hosted by British Ambassador Peter Westmacott for about 30 guests after a reception for 170, many connected with the mine-clearing HALO Trust charity. Harry sat between Teresa Heinz, wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, and the ambassador's wife, Susie, for the dinner.
The prince invoked his mother's memory in remarks supporting the trust.
"My mother, who believed passionately in this cause, would be proud of my association with HALO," he told the attendees. "In her special way, she adopted it as her own. She would join me — along with all of you, I'm sure — in praising HALO for the amazing work that it has done over the past quarter century, and in hoping that one day soon its humanitarian work will be done."
Diana highlighted the trust's work when she was pictured wearing a face mask and protective clothing during a visit to a minefield being cleared by the organization in Angola in 1997. Her son said that at any one time, the group has 7,000 people deployed in the field, "striving to protect people, and banish the fear that pervades the lives of millions around the world."
Fiona Willoughby, marketing manager of the trust, said the prince's tour of the trust's exhibit brings attention back to the issue.
"People have forgotten about it, and we think Prince Harry, following in his mother's footsteps, is a worthy cause and will raise the profile of what we are doing," she said.
On Friday, the prince visits Arlington National Cemetery and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center before flying to Colorado for the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs. More than 200 wounded servicemen and women from the U.S. and Britain will participate.
Harry will also visit parts of New Jersey afflicted by Superstorm Sandy and stop for events in New York City before capping his visit by playing in the Sentebale Polo Cup match in Greenwich, Conn., on Wednesday.
Associated Press writer Stacy A. Anderson contributed to this report.

Where Will Smith and Jayson Werth Come to Play
Man, that sure turned into a dogfight. Seriously, just a few days ago it seemed like everything was decided and then, BAM, everything's back up in the air again. The thing is, we could really be talking about a few different things right now. It could be Jayson Werth's walk-off homer in DC to force a game 5. It could be the two different series going to decisive game 5's in spite of teams jumping out to a 2 games to none lead in both. Or it could be the Vice Presidential debate where Joe Biden and Paul Ryan slugged it out like a couple of prizefighters.
In the end it really doesn't matter which one you choose because no matter what, it was highly entertaining. Me, I love Joe Biden so it was great to watch him come out swinging. He didn't win in a knockout but if you were scoring at home, it's pretty safe to say he took the match on points. Which may not be so surprising since this is who he was going up against:
Uh, dude, 1990's Will Smith wants his outfit back. The Fresh Prince of Hot Air, if you will.
But getting back to the entertainment aspect, the same goes for the playoffs. There was drama all over the place and if the next round is half as entertaining as the play-in games and the Division Series, we're in for some good baseball. I love October, almost as much as Paul Ryan loves backwards hats.

It isn't the most elegant of races.
In a study that attempts to elucidate one of the "central unsolved problems" in human reproduction — what separates the tens of sperm cells that find an egg, from the millions of cells ejaculated? — British researchers are reporting that sperm crawl, collide and crash head-on into the walls of the female reproductive tract in their frantic swim to the site of fertilization.
"Despite it being the thing that put all of us here, effectively, we still know almost nothing about how something so simple and key to life actually happens in the body," said Dr. Jackson Kirkman-Brown, a senior lecturer in reproductive sciences at the University of Birmingham in the U.K.
"Every time a woman gets or doesn't get pregnant, there is something going on where what to me is an incomprehensible number of sperm — two hundred million — get reduced to a countable amount, 10, maybe."
Popular wisdom holds that sperm follow each other in their swim through the female tract "rather like you or I might swim through a swimming pool," Kirkman-Brown said.
Instead, the researchers observed sperm travelling along walls, ceilings and particularly corners as they navigated the "narrow and convoluted channels" of the female tract, the team reports in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.
Sperm failing to get to the egg dooms fertility. "But equally some of the most common things in contraception are based on sperm motility," Kirkman-Brown said. Oral contraceptives — the Pill — work by thickening cervical mucous and stopping sperm from getting to the egg.
With ever more people undergoing fertility treatment and the pharmaceutical industry looking to develop new contraceptives, "There has been a lot more interest in sperm motility," he said.
To try to get a better handle on the "individual and group behaviours" that occur, the researchers watched sperm swimming not on slides or in petri dishes, but through tiny, hair-thin mini-mazes etched into silicone and barely visible to the naked eye.
The micro-channels were filled with fluid mimicking the viscosity of fluid within the female reproductive tract, giving sperm a more realistic environment. The mini mazes "have lots of different twists and turns, so we can see how sperm cope with swimming around these," Kirkman-Brown said.
Most people think of the uterus as an empty balloon. "But on the scale of a sperm, its actually very, very ridged," he said. There isn't one large empty central cavity waiting for a baby, he said. Rather, "it's moist surfaces that touch each other."
With the micro-channels, "we've given sperm some dimensions that are more like they would see in the body," he said. "That way we've been able to see how they may possibly — and I only say possibly — be behaving in the body, and learn a little bit more about how we can affect how they swim."
They found that when the channel turns sharply, cells leave the corner, continuing ahead until hitting the opposite wall of the channel.
"If you change the direction of the wall, if it's a very slight curve they will tend to still swim along that corner, and follow the corner," Kirkman-Brown said.
"But if you make a very sharp bend — so 90 degrees or more — they break away and will swim and hit the opposite wall, find the corner and then swim along that corner and follow the next corner that they find."
The researchers observed sperm colliding with walls and head butting into one another. "When they hit each other, they don't just hit, go past and carry on in the direction they were going," Kirkman-Brown explained. "Sometimes they'll stop, swerve a bit and then they swim off, both of them in different directions from where they were heading."
Similarly, when one sperm hits another from behind, he said, "they'll both splay out in new directions" rather like a bowling ball knocking down pins.
Lots of sperm fall by the wayside, and what the researchers are still some way from knowing is, what properties make the "best" swimmers?
The research potentially could lead to news ways of selecting only the best sperm for fertility treatments — in other words, the "Usain Bolt" of sperm, Kirkman-Brown said.
Most sperm a man makes are bad sperm, he said. The vast majority are abnormal in some way. "Having something that helps pick the best is quite interesting."
Kirman-Brown said he was surprised at how tenacious sperm are at swimming against walls and trying to follow corners, and how, when they touch each other it affects the direction in which they're swimming. "No one has previously been able to visualize how populations of sperm behave in micro-channels." Traditionally scientists have been restricted to counting sperm on microscopic slides, he said.
But sperm counts alone "isn't a very good indicator of whether you can get someone pregnant," he said.
He said sperm can swim four or five centimetres in an hour through the viscous fluids in the female tract.
On a human scale, "It's the equivalent, in an hour, of me getting halfway up Everest crawling in cold butter," he said. "The fact thåt something so tiny can do it under its own power is pretty incredible."

I think I've been clear here, before, that I really like the Marg. I spell her name wrong with regularity, of course, but I like her. She's always kind of got some quiet sass about her, rocking the latter part of her career, and she knows exactly what's up, I feel, at these events. Like The Good Wife is a good show and so she's going to capitalize on that, but she's not pretending that it's rocket science or that she has Kate Winslet's career.
I think it's the even-keelness that I always appreciated, like she could take or leave the whole business, in a way that reminds me of, say, a Sandra Bullock. What, your favourite celebs aren't secretly friends in your mind? Even if it seems like creepy fanfic?
Anyway, I know that people can be smart and do not-smart things, but I still was frustrated by the thinness of Margulies tonight. For what reason? Why necessary? You're already beating the odds by having a career over 40 and playing a woman who has real dilemmas and problems, as opposed to just somebody's mom. You know how jealous a million other actresses are?
I said last night that I think it's about the next job, and that's always true to an extent. She's never really had a movie career, and maybe indies or something are what appeals to her as she stares down the next seven months of work followed by a hiatus. But she doesn't need to be so thin to have it, does she? What's wrong with our representation of middle aged women if she does?
…Don't answer that, Julie Bowen.

Police: Man charged with hitting pole that cop drove into
A Bay Shore man drove off Wednesday after hitting a street pole in North Great River, and soon after, a patrol car responding to the accident crashed into the tip of the dangling pole, Suffolk police said.
The utility pole, hanging 4 feet above Connetquot Avenue and Amityville Street, smashed through the driver's side windshield, said Sgt. James Scimone of the Third Precinct crime section.
The officer was responding to the crash on Connetquot Avenue when she hit the pole just after 4:25 a.m., police said.
It's not clear why the officer didn't see the pole, but she may have been looking to the side, the sergeant said, and by the time she saw the pole there was no time to avoid it.
"She drove right into the tip of the pole," Scimone said. "Who expected a pole to be hanging four feet over the road? It just missed her."
The officer suffered a concussion and bruising, but she was treated at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore and released, police said.
After an investigation, crime section officers Wednesday night arrested Michael Rossiello, 27, of 1384 Lombardi Blvd. His 1998 Ford Ranger showed "substantial damage" and was impounded, police said.
He was driving north on Connetquot Avenue when he hit the pole about 4:10 a.m., police said.
Rossiello was held overnight to be arraigned Thursday on charges of leaving the scene of an accident, aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, second-degree reckless endangerment and third-degree reckless assault.

For Any Cancer Diagnosis
I'm a patient navigator and have had a few requests from patients and their families for LGBT resources (groups and information mainly). Any recommendations?A.
Although everyone's experience with cancer is unique, we do know that the LGBT cancer experience can present many challenges, just a few of which include increased cancer risk, lack of social supports, and impacted communication and comfort with health care providers. The cancer experience, in addition to the stigma around sexuality and/or gender for an LGBT person navigating the medical system, can have an negative effect on a person's health, both physically and emotionally.
As a patient navigator, you have the opportunity to humanize a setting which often feels dehumanizing for patients, particularly those that identify as LGBT. By making yourself aware of the resources that exist and learning to ask questions that show your sensitivity, you can make a big difference. Access to resources that are LGBT-focused and/or friendly often depends upon the area you live in. While many larger, more metropolitan areas have LGBT community centers and/or services, smaller communities often lack LGBT-specific resources, which can leave LGBT people feeling isolated or marginalized. However, there are a number of national organizations that provide a multitude of services for LGBT individuals with cancer and their loved ones, as well as their health care providers. These organizations do incredible work to address existing disparities through their research, advocacy, education, outreach and direct support services.
A great place to start is by reading LGBT Patient-Centered Outcomes: Cancer Survivors Teach Us How To Improve Care For All, a report published by the National LGBT Cancer Network. The National LGBT Cancer Network works to educate, train and advocate for LGBT cancer survivors. What's fantastic about this report is the way it uses language, including quotes and stories, from actual LGBT cancer survivors, which gives you powerful insight into what LGBT cancer survivors find meaningful and relevant in their work with you, your team and your agency.
Secondly, the public policy advocacy organization, GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBT Equality (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association), has many resources for professionals as well as patients, including Top Ten Issues to Discuss with Your Heath Care Provider for Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, and Transgender People. They also have a wealth of information on trans health resources.
For LGBT seniors, SAGE (Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Elderly is an important national resource. SAGE can direct callers to their local gay support systems closest to them.
And last, but certainly not least, here at CancerCare we have a number of support services for LGBT patients, survivors, and caregivers. CancerCare has a fact sheet "Coping with Cancer as an LGBT Person" that can be ordered by calling the our Hopeline at 800-813-4673 or ordered online. We offer free, short-term individual counseling over the phone and in person. We also have a face-to-face support group running in our New York City office:
- Gay and Bisexual Men With Cancer Support Group, in collaboration with SAGE
In addition to checking out the above resources, please feel free to call our Hopeline at 800-813-HOPE (4673) to speak with an oncology social worker about helping your LGBT patients and caregivers locate additional support.
For Breast Cancer
I am a lesbian and my family is not accepting of this. I recently have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and I'm really feeling the loss of having family for support. I'm not sure if it would make a difference to speak with them - should I tell my family about my diagnosis?A.
You took a very courageous step by disclosing your sexual identity to your family, and their rejection can feel devastating especially during times of need. It is the most natural desire to want to be accepted by the people we love, and while some homophobic reactions may be intense, there are many shades of gray. In extreme cases, disclosure sometimes results in permanently severed relationships, but the coming out experience and the reactions of loved ones can be a process that evolves over time. It is understandable that you are concerned about communicating with your family given the risk of further rejection, but you may find that family members who have difficulty accepting your lesbian identity would want to be part of your life and be able to support you given the chance.
It is important that you seek out support from family, friends, co-workers, and healthcare professionals. CancerCare's professional oncology social workers are here to help by linking you to practical support, education, support groups, or referrals. In addition to getting support around your cancer diagnosis, you can also receive counseling about your relationships with your family that can guide you toward the best course of action for you.
Learn more about our breast cancer services. You might also contact The National LGBT Cancer Network. Cultivating a network of support and sharing your experiences with others can be a liberating and self-affirming experience and I encourage you to explore these resources.
