Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Markhor Rank Help FAQ
Why should you use this FAQ?
+Find all of the animals, plants, and food products
+A few answered questions
+Hunting Tactics
+If you are on normal
What isn't in this guide?
-Over view of the game itself
-Russian or any game terms
-Uses and effects of foods
-Perfect English, although I only speak it.
Table of Contents (Put a "~" in front of what ever you put in the find,
to Find hold in "control" and press F) Don't worry, there is sub tables
when you get there.
-Packaged Foods
-Medi Plants
-Food -> Locations
-Location -> Foods
This guide is for the sole use for finding all the food products. If
you obtain all of them, you will get an item after the game's end.
In other words, to get the Markhor Rank. This will grant you to use
of the "EZ Gun" only until resent discovery, only able to get on
Very Easy. This gun is very cheap, but is needed if you want a near
completed file. For obvious reason, I don't think you can get this
gun like this on Very Easy... While going for the Markhor Rank,
finding only every food item will get you the rank, thus know where
the food is laying is the most important part.
While going for this Rank, you may use special items, such as the
infinity face paint.
In this FAQ, I WILL NOT use the game names for areas, there is a very
good reason for this. When I was hunting for items or secrets, I found
it easier to just know "The area after/before you fight so-and-so" as
opposed to some, hard to remember, Russian area.
But here is one main tip... When searching for animals that I list,
with multiple locations and types (Snake should be the only real
problem), kill everything you see and pick it up. This will be the
most surefire way to not miss anything.
The second term is what they are label while chilling in a ration.
Like The King Cobra is "Snake A".
Snakes are the most common and usually the easest to find... the only
problem is -- They also have the biggest group. Besides the Tree
snakes, the state of matter snakes, and the fat snake, you really
can't tell which one you might get until you pick it up. Most of
them look the same and you should pick them up for a safe measure.
King Cobra (Snake A)
This is a basic snake you can find laying on the ground. It is gray
in color. You can find this snake during the first mission... the
Virtuous Mission. The place that I have always found this snake was
in third area, where you first find guards. Go to the left of the exit
in the area with tall grass. You should be able to find one there. If
by chance I'm wrong, you could always waste every snake you come by,
you should find it. By the way, you can get this before the second
mission, Snake Eater." So if you can't find one where I mention, make
use of your motion sensor, and you should be good.
Taiwanese Cobra (Snake B)
Before I even begin, I might mix this up with the Thai Cobra...
either way, they are both pretty close to each other, so it shouldn't
matter. Any ways, this snake should be caught in the caves after the
Ocelot fight. I've found this guy crawling in the hole to the right of
the start. While you are crawling through it, you can hardly miss this
snake... you also must crawl though it.
Thai Cobra (Snake C)
If my memory serves me correctly, you can find this snake in the cave
path area right after The Pain fight. It should be the first snake you
find there. It is a redish color.
Coral Snake (Snake D)
This is a redish snake. You can easily find this in the swamp area
after the GRU fight in the Snake Eater mission. There should be two of
them before you even go into croc infested waters.
Milk Snake (Snake E)
Look at the where the coral snakes are... these are in the same area.
There is also about two of them in the same spot. The best way two get
both is just to kill all the snakes in the area, you should get them
Green Tree Python (Snake F)
This can be found in two areas with ease. In the first areas of the
snake eater mission, you can find a few of these in the trees. This
can be before or after the cutscene (although I would just kill the
one hanging from the tree RIGHT before the cutscene where The Boss
rapes you with CQC). The second area where this is easily spotted
is with the final battle WITH The Boss. They are the only snakes in
the trees in this area. I would seriously avoid getting them later
in the game...
Giant Anaconda (Snake G)
This snake can be found in the Virtuous mission. It memory serves me
correctly, you can get this just a little north of the tree that
holds your back pack. I also remember finding one in the caves.
One thing to remember, these look just like the Reticulated Python...
which is bad since they are the most common snake in the game.
Reticulated Python (Snake H)
Do I even need to help you find of these? No, they are everywhere,
including right to the left of the beginning drop point in the
Virtuous mission.
Snake Liquid (Snake I)
This snake can be found next to a log during The Boss fight.
This is a one of a kind Snake, so get it! Make sure to hurry up and
find as you have a time limit. If you need help actually finding it,
use stun grenades during The Boss fight... but crawling with a knife
is safer. Oh, and they are white like the flowers.
Snake Solid (Snake J)
Same as above, only next to another log.
Snake Solidus (Snake K)
Same as above, only next to another log. Remember, there are only
three logs.
Mushrooms are beyond the hardest things to hunt for... simply because
they don't die once you lobe a stun grenade nor appear on any type of
Radar device. There is one thing you can do... Thermal Goggles! Trust
me, they don't do nothing!
Russian Oyster (Mushroom A)
From the VERY beginning of the Virtuous Mission, go left to the log.
It should be on it. You probably want to shoot it.
Ural Luminescent (Mushroom B)
From the second forest area after leaving through the warehouse (From
after getting the Key from the Drunk Granin and The Fear fight). Or
in different terms, right before The End fight. Any ways, right when
you enter this area, go all the way to the left. You will see ground
that looks like that sinking mud... but it's really not. Any ways,
you should find a tree in this area with them on the side. Keep in
mind these mushrooms look like barnacles.
Siberian Ink Cap (Mushroom C)
This is the most common shroom. You can find this in various places,
like next to a tree after that wooden bridge, or in the final parts
of the game while guiding Eva.
Fly Agaric (Mushroom D)
During the battle with The Fear, you can easily find this mushy
while using the Thermal Goggles.
Russian Glow Cap (Mushroom E)
This can be found in the cave, before and after The pain, during the
battle with The Fury, and after meeting up with Eva behind the water
fall. This should be hard to find, they are freaking green!
Spatsa (Mushroom F)
This is in the area RIGHT after the warehouse. If you recall my
directions for finding the Ural Luminescent, this area is right
before that. Any ways, use your Thermal Goggles to find it next
to one of the very first tree. It is a tall and single standing
Baikal Scaly Tooth (Mushroom G)
This is in the same area as the Spatsa. This can be found on trees a
little farther up from hill. It is a mushroom with many caps. Make
sure you use your Thermal Goggles.
Frogs are small creatures, so you really have to look for them. There
is a good thing about them... most of the time, if you see one, there
are many more in the same area.
Otton Frog (Frog A)
This frog can be found in many places, but the best place is probably
at the beginning of the Snake Eater mission. They are within Radar
range from the starting point... just look in the grass. They are a
light brownish color.
Tree Frog (Frog B)
You can find a bunch of these frogs right in the beginning of the
second area of the Virtuous Mission were all the crocs are. They are
all in the tall blades of grass not far from the beginning of the area.
If you have a radar device, you can easily spot them where there is a
cluster. If you missed them in this area, you can also get them in the
Swamp land after the GRU fight. They will skim on the top pf the water.
Just make sure you watch out for Crocs!
Poison Dart Frog (Frog C)
These are very small frogs found during the fight with The Fear. They
are very tiny, but there are many of them. Use a grenade to get them
if you are lazy.
Birds, for the most part, are hard to catch. Other than the Rumped
Vulture, your best bet is to shoot them. If you miss or get too close
they will fly away. If this happens, either move on to another bird
location, or leave and reenter the same area for a second shot.
Parrot (Bird A)
This is The End's parrot. To get this bird, you must actually be
fighting The End. I've always found him on top of the ammo shed
to the left of the starting area in this fight. He should be on the
edge and he will fall off once killed. The End will hate you for this.
White-Rumped Vulture (Bird B)
This bird is found flying high in the desert/mountain areas of the
game, right after "Beating the Ladder" (The big Ladder after The
End fight). Any ways, you can either snipe it with a rifle while
airborne, or kill a guard and wait for it to scavenge his remains.
Red Avadavat (Bird C)
This bird can be found after leaving the lab before The Fear fight.
First off, I left though the side door after I got the key from
Granin. Now in the FIRST blades of grass, it will be in it. They are
very small and hard to spot. You don't have to come out of this door,
it's just easier this way if you miss, so you don't have to travel
too far to make it reappear. When trying to actually kill it, use
your Thermal goggles while stalking close to it. Once you can actually
see it, snipe it. Another method of getting this bird is when in the
cell, let Johnny toss you one, it takes a while.
Magpie (Bird D)
This bird can be found in the first area in the Virtuous Mission with
guards. I recommend killing all the guard first then picking up the
Sniper Rifle to the far right of the map. If you would rather no
enemies at all, you can also get it in the area before that with the
crocs. They should be in the area where I mention a bunch of Green
Frogs above this. If you have a patriot, you should go wild while
in a crawling position.
Sunda Whistling Thrush (Bird E)
This bird can be found on top of the building or red steel bars in
the last area of the Virtuous Mission (where you first meet Ocelot)
You should snipe them off the steel bars, or you can climb up the
ladder on the side to get a close shot at the ones on the building.
These are the fish of the game... nothing special about them other than
they are in water. Use stun grenades in the river or The Pain area for
fun results!
Bigeye Trevally (Fish A)
This is the smallest fish. This little guy can be found in the river
after The Pain fight. Just toss a grenade if you can't find them, you
will surely get at least one caught this way.
Maroon Shark (Fish B)
This fish can be found in during The Pain fight and after it. It is a
pointy fish and shouldn't give you a problem.
Arowana (Fish C)
This is a big fish also found among all the other Fish. You know when
you kill on of these, they give you two rations of fish!
Fruits are found in tree and sometimes on the ground. Only looking up
while using the Thermal Goggles will help you.
Yabloko Moloko (Fruit A)
This is a red fruit found in the beginning of the Virtuous Mission. You
can find some hanging in trees in the area where you first fight guards.
If you run all the way strait from the start, you will see some.
Russian False Mango (Fruit B)
Right after The Pain fight, while in the little cave/canyon, you will
see two yellow fruits. Stab them off the ground and pick them up. You
really can't miss these.
Golova (Fruit C)
These are pair like fruits... that come in pairs! When in a tree, they
look like a sack of yellow sagging nuts. I'm pretty sure you can find
these in the same area you first find the Yabloko Moloko... or in the
same area as the Ural Luminescent Mushroom as mentioned above. You
really have to look up during this area. Use Thermal goggles.
~Packaged Foods
These are probably the only foods in this game you would like to enjoy
These have been confirmed by a few people from Emails and the board
that these do not count... but since I have them written down, no
point passing them up!
In other words, you do not need these to get the EZ Gun.
Calorie Mate
You start with this, put just in case it doesn't count toward your
completion, you can find these in various food storage places. Like
the one in the Warehouse before the area where you fight The Fear.
Instant Noodles
These can be found in many places, must of the time, at the same place
as the Calorie Mates. If you can't find any, Eva will give you some or
you can find some in the Sewers before the fight with The Sorrow
Russian Ration
These can be found in places just like the other items. But some more
unique places include: Up from the start when you are walking with Eva
or from sometimes shaking/holding up guards.
These are food items that aren't grouped together... IE no A, B, or C.
Vampire Bat
These are found everywhere and by big numbers! You can first find
these in the caves before The Pain fight. When ever you see them, toss
a stun grenade, you will like the outcome.
Kenyan Mangrove Crab
These are small crabs... You can find them in the cave before The Pain,
in the forest's river during The End, or after the "fight" with The
Sorrow. If you try and find them in the cave, use Thermal Goggles. You
won't have to look far.
Indian Gavial
These are the large reptiles. I say reptiles because crocs and
alligators have different teeth and jaw patterns. Either way, they are
large and can be found as soon as the first swamp in the second area of
the Virtuous Mission. Remember, stab for the head!
These are Goat like animals. They aren't hard to miss, and you will
probably kill one of these by mistake if you are sniping The End with
Thermal Goggles on. You can also find one right where you begin after
the fight with The Sorrow. Attack them from the front if you use a
Baltic Hornet's Nest
Just like the name implies, it is a nest. The best place to get one of
these puppies is right before the bridge in the Virtuous Mission. Just
knock it down with a gun, and the guard will get chased by the bees...
Then pick it up before you cross the bridge, it's hard to miss. Also
try the Ocelot fight or the first croc swamp. If you throw one out
during The Pain fight, you will get "The Pain Hornet's Nest." It will
absorb some of his attacks and taste better... This special form of the
nest isn't needed.
European Rabbit
This is a cute little bunny. The easiest place to find out of these is
during The End fight.
If you seriously need a good place to eat on of these, you haven't hid
too much. Under the room where Sokolov is hidden is the first place you
can get a rat.
Emperor Scorpion
These are found everywhere on the desert mountain base. If you can't
find one there, wait till after the cut scene with Eva, there should
be on right on the floor in that little hut.
Cobalt Blue Tarantula
This is the only spider in the game. This can be found in the prison
area of the Gorki Lab, on the docks, or on the far wall before you
climb up the large ladder after The End.
Japanese Flying Squirrel
This is a hard one to find. In the very beginning of the Snake Eater
mission, you can see them climbing up a tree. I recommend using your
favorite radar device to help kill everything that blinks... or blips.
Just remember, if you can't go all the way to the beginning of the
mission, you went too far.
This is a fat snake... but you can't actually find one without the
use of a mouse trap. To get this snake, you first need a mouse trap.
Now, after you kill The Fear, start planting traps in the middle area.
I did this an easy way by having the Infinity Face Paint and placing
a ton of them... but if you don't have that, you can pick them up like
a claymore. Any ways, leave the area and come back, if you place three
down in the middle, you should get one of them. If not, try again.
Vine Melon
This is a green veggie found hanging on vines. You can easily get
these in the area right after the Warehouse before The End or in
the Forest right after The Sorrow.
~Medi Plants
Upon resent discovery, these are needed to get The Markhor Rank. These
are plants, that can't be stored in your inventory... but turn into
"Cure" items. I'm sure you've seen them around if you played around
with grenades.
Any ways, they don't have names, but all of them can be found through
the game.
The easiest place to find all of these would be in the area where I
first mention the Spatsa atfer that warehouse. All of these plants are
here. Just make sure you equip your termals as some of them blend in
very well and look like grass.
Another place would be in one of the rooms on the first floor of the
Gorki lab. They are in pots on the long desk.
Styptic Plant
The first one I've found was in the beginning of the Snake Eater
mission, it's in front of the tree right where you start. It looks
like grass.
Cold Medicine Plant
I also found this in the same area as the Styptic Plant... go a little
ahead and you will see a bush with purplish berries between two large
areas of tall grass.
Disinfectant Plant
In the same are as the above two, you can find one of these next to a
tree next to the logs. It looks likt the styptic plant (tall bunch of
grass) with white specs.
Splint Plant
This looks just like the Disinfectant Plant, only with purple specs.
The closest spot I've found this is in the beginning of the Virtuous
Mission... only while in the Snake Eater mission. This means travel
all the way back to "The Tree." It's a little bit in front of it to
the right. The Tree is the one with your back pack earlier on in the
V mission.

game without a boss.
Rokovoj Bereg - The Boss fight.
+Before you get the Thermal Goggles, the Motion Detector or the Active
Sonar will help you find most animals. Of course this will not help you
on Hard/Extreme.
+The Thermal Goggles will help you find any food in this game, save
maybe a small animal in the grass. Any ways, these are beyond the best
hunting device in the game. Even plants and mushrooms will stick out
brightly. Make sure you get this item the earliest... this is in the
locker after the GRU fight in the room Sokolov was first found in.
+Stun Grenades are a good choice. Ever didn't want to wade through
fish? Even feel bats are hard to kill? Ever just want to wipe out
the wildlife in thick grass? Well, pop one of these off in an area
with a bunch of blipping dots on your Radar to find all the wild
life nicely packed into floating rations!
+Using the Sniper rifle is a good way to tame birds.
+The Patriot will surefice until a good amount of Stun Grenades are
found, just make sure you lay on your belly.
+If you are going for the rank, you don't need to eat anything, but
you should... why? Because you can keep track of everything you eat
in the cure menu. Just hit right or left when looking at your injury
list. Remember, 44 things should show up.
+Try not to die... because you have to recatch the things you caught
after a checkpoint.
+Before moving on to a "point of no return," make sure you get every
thing that previous area as to offer, even if they aren't one time
meals. These areas are:
-Before talking to Sokolov (1)
-The Drop at the beginning of Snake Eater (2)
-Before the Ocelot Fight (3)
-The little drop at the start of the desert base after the ladder (4)
-Before The Fury (5)
-Before Torture (6) (Which doesn't effect anything)
-Before The Sorrow (7)
-Before climbing the ladder behind the water fall (8)
-Before planting C3 (9) (Which is almost the same as #6)
-Before The Boss (10)
-After The Boss (11)
This is important as some animals can't be caught after certain areas.
The End's Parrot is also a one time catch.
+Here is a copy and paste list of all the animals. Use this if you want
to cross off or delete caught animals. I also have a the point at which
you can't get the animal any more. Some of the animals do appear
later... but you should get them before this point any ways... since
it's safer... and I told you to :D
Snake A/King Cobra -Before talking to Sokolov (1)

Vegetable/Vine Melon -Before the ladder behind the water fall (8)
These are to the best of my knowledge... I'm am truly sorry if I
screwed up and you have to start your game over because of it. To
avoid this outcome, do what I did. Create a save before EACH of
these "Points of no returns."
+If you want piss people off, sing this really loud in their ear:
What a thrill,
With darkness and silence through the night,
What a thrill,
I'm searching and I'll melt into you,
What a fear in my heart,
But you're so supreme,
I give my life,
Not for honor, but for you,
In my time, there'll be no one else,
Crime, it's the way I fly to you,
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.
Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive,
For the day we see new light,
I give my life,
Not for honor, but for you,
In my time, there'll be no one else,
Crime, it's the way I fly to you,
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater,
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater.

Highball Aluminum Hardtail Introduction by Francis Cebedo
There is no doubt the Highball Carbon is cool. At 2.5 lbs, it delivers a fast yet comfortable ride. It is low to the ground and it handles like a champ. But the frame alone costs $1900 and it is not singlespeed friendly. Well Santa Cruz has answered the call with the Highball AL. It weighs 3.9 lbs for a medium frame but will only cost $650. It's a lot lighter on the wallet and it will be offered with optional singlespeed dropouts that will allow you to tension the chain. Complete bikes start at $1,499 (D/XC kit) and $2,099 (R/XC)
The Mtbr smart money says that's a lot of savings for a little extra weight. Throw away the gears and put some carbon wheels and call it a day.
From Mike Ferrentino
Yes indeedy, the skinny carbon fiber killing machine has now been joined by a new ALUMINUM brother (and therefore will now be known as the Highball C). Taking the swift and light intent of our 29″ wheeled carbon Highball and crafting it out of aluminum, we've added a couple very notable other features: value and versatility. The proprietary aluminum tubing allows for a strong, respectably light frame, and features the same responsive geometry as our carbon race bike. Riders have the option of running a fixed position rear dropout for geared use, or a pivoting, adjustable dropout for single speed use. Clean lines and super-versatility aside, this is also one of our most affordable bikes, redefining the notion of "bang for your buck." Check out these features:
S, M, L, XL sizes (note that the 22.2″ top tube length and 28.3 standover on our small is shorter and lower than that claimed on some other "extra-small" bikes)
- Fixed or swinger SS dropouts
- Tapered headtube
- Hydroformed top- and downtubes
- Asymmetrical forged chainstay yoke (for optimal strength, stiffness, and chainring clearance)
- Brake strut on non-driveside for vibration-free braking
- Two bottle mounts
- Threaded bb shell (we think this is still the best, most user-friendly, widely compatible, globally serviceable way to install a bottom bracket.)
Available complete starting at $1499 (D/XC kit)
Available in:
Pearl white/green
Traffic blue/orange

The people who lived at Beit Govrin thousands of years ago left behind plentiful testimony to their existence both above and below ground. Among the sites are a Roman amphitheater and Beit Govrin National Park ,Tel Mareshah, which was fortified by Solomon's son Rehoboam (2 Chron. 11:8). Map.
The top of Tel Mareshah affords a wonderful view of this strategic region separating the coast from the Judean Mountains; on a clear day you can see the Mediterranean Sea. The real excitement, though, lies in the cool interior of some of the hundreds of caves, which first served as quarries for the people of Hellenistic Maresha to build their houses in. Beneath those houses are storerooms and cisterns.
One cave had hundreds of niches where pigeons were raised; in another you can see an ancient olive press. The colorful Greek-style frescoes of the Sidonian burial cave and the Musicians' Tomb are another attraction. Beit Govrin's dramatic Bell Caves still bear the marks of the diggers, who penetrated the surface through small holes and left behind bell-shaped caverns.
Thanks to wonderful acoustics, the Bell Caves host concerts and other events, including private celebrations.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Women Subjected to Sexist and Demeaning Treatment, Agency Says
PHOENIX — Casey Jones Grill discriminated against female bartenders and servers by subjecting them to sexual harassment in the form of lewd comments and sex-based derogatory name-calling, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today in federal court. Casey Jones Grill, which is operated by Los Muchachos, LLC, is located on Thunderbird Road in West Phoenix.
According to the EEOC's suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, CIV 2:10-cv-02079 MHM, the restaurant's owner, Nick Karendreas, was the principal harasser of the female employees, who were routinely called harassing and vulgar names, including "stupid bitch" and who were regularly subjected to unwelcome sexually-offensive remarks. The complaint further alleges that the female employees were subjected to sexist and demeaning treatment and that female employees were forced to resign because of the intolerable, hostile working conditions or they were terminated based on their gender.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, protects workers from discrimination based upon gender, including sexual harassment. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The lawsuit seeks lost wages and compensatory and punitive damages for the harassment victims, as well as appropriate injunctive relief to prevent discriminatory practices in the future.

EMI (electromagnetic interference) mitigation is a critical step in the design process in most electronic systems, and especially so in the automotive world. In many cases, automotive OEM emissions requirements are even more stringent than both national and international standards bodies like the FCC. Unfortunately, by their nature, switching regulators are sources of EMI; but, in order to keep power supply designs small and efficient, switchers are a critical component. So how can you reap the benefits of a switching regulator while still meeting challenging EMI requirements?

Tonight marks an all new episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and as Bravo promises, we will see one of the NJ housewives leave the show for-ever! (cue up dramatic music).
So what else can we expect tonight? Just after Ashley moves back home, the drama starts back up with mom Jacqueline. While the guys try to enjoy a relaxing poker night, Ashley refuses to speak with her mother. Danielle's sex tape drama will also be brought up in tonight's show. You know, that other sex tape involving her and her ex Steve Zalewski, who will be appearing once again on tonight's show.
Teresa Takes Home Off The Market – In other NJ news, just 24 hours after her home appeared for sale on multiple Realtor websites, Teresa Giudice tweeted to her fans that her home was "NOT FOR SALE." Surely enough, the listing for Teresa's home was yanked off these websites. So what gives? Well no one knows, perhaps Teresa and hubby Joe received some more "assistance" from their family members who reportedly supply them with $10,000 a month.
One of our smart readers however pointed out that "a broker is not going to place a property in the MLS, without a listing agreement from the seller," meaning Teresa and her hubby had to have signed off the listing.
Danielle's Sex Tape Comes Out Today – Today is the release date of the infamous sex tape no one wanted to see. Danielle is described as being the "horniest housewife." It will be interesting to see how Danielle's tape fares on the market considering most of the housewives' fan base consists of women. Dina Manzo also did a new interview during which she had some harsh words for Danielle. "This doesn't shock me," Dina said. "I feel horrible for her kids. Horrible. I wanted to start a 'save Jillian campaign.' The younger daughter, her face just breaks my heart."
Dina then goes on to make a good point when she says, "Everything a parent does, they should think of their children first. I know that's what I do."
Danielle's Home On The Market – Danielle's home has been listed for the price of $1.095 million. According to the listing, it was ordered by the courts due to Danielle's divorce settlement. Once the sale is done, Danielle and her ex-husband Tom Staub, will split the proceeds.
Who's Leaving The Show? – This shouldn't be a spoiler as multiple media outlets have reported Dina Manzo will be the exiting housewife. However neither Bravo nor Dina has yet to confirm this news. Dina will also be appearing on Watch What Happens tonight, alongside Ramona Singer.

The Harvard Malaria Imitative launched a new ExxonMobil Malaria Scholar in Residence Program that brings Dr. Regina Rabinovich, former Gates Foundation Director of Global Health Infectious Diseases, to Harvard in order to pursue innovative strategies to combat malaria.
ExxonMobil continues its established collaboration with Harvard by supporting the position. The oil giant has invested over $100 million in bednets, anti-malarial medicines and sector leadership since 2000. Part of that funding has gone to the June Science of Eradication event that brought together individuals from various sectors to train them as future leaders in the malaria fight.
"ExxonMobil has long valued our partnership with Harvard to combat malaria," said Suzanne McCarron, president of the ExxonMobil Foundation. "Dr. Rabinovich is bringing her unique expertise and knowledge to this program, and we look forward to seeing the impact this partnership will have on the malaria field."
|Regina Rabinovich, MD
The WHO estimates that there were 216 million cases in 2011. Mortality rates caused by malaria are down by over 25% since 2000, but malaria was still responsible for killing roughly 655,000 people in 2010. There are know interventions to prevent the spread and reduce the impact of malaria, but the disease continues to affect children in sub-Saharan Africa at a high rate.
Dr Dyann Wirth launched the Harvard Malaria Initiative in 1997, a point in time when research into malaria was nascent and interventions that are commonplace today, such as long lasting insecticide treated bednets, were in the early stages of testing.
"Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege to work closely with researchers, non-profits,
governments and foundations," Dr. Rabinovich said. "Now, I'm excited to join one of the world's leading academic institutions and to help leverage Harvard's resources in the fight against malaria."
The Harvard Global Health Institute brings together a range of schools at Harvard, accelerating Dr. Rabinovich's desire to work across the university. She stressed the ability to access the technical knowledge of various university schools which can apply directly to coordinating the malaria response effort. "We are unlikely to have a silver bullet for malaria," argued Dr. Rabinovich.
Technical responses like artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) have proven to be an effective solution to treating malaria. ACT provided a promising alternative in parts of the world where traditional treatments were experiencing resistance.
However, ACT resistance was observed in Vietnam earlier this year. The WHO expressed concerns about the resistance and the ability to control it from spreading throughout the region. "Currently Vietnam does not have enough money available to do what has to be done to address the artemisinin-resistance issue," said WHO's Christophel to IRIN in September. "You need to have special programmes. A bednet is only given to people who register [with authorities]. If you are not registered then how are you going to get your bednet," she said, referring to workers in the informal sector.
Part of the challenge to ACTs is the compliance. "Current ACTs are hard to take given the combinations, strange timings and varying information," explained Dr Rabinovich. Since the problem of resistance to ACTs are localized, Dr Rabinovich says she is concerned more with the potential resistance to insecticide treated bednets. The insecticides used for bednets have been employed for years and an alternative is not ready.
While the problems and challenges may seem technical, governance is the issue that sits atop Dr. Rabinovich's agenda for the year. She indicated that convening bodies like the Roll Back Malaria Partnership could benefit from better coordination and a reassessment as to how to address malaria.
The regionalization of the response to malaria is one area that interests Dr. Rabinovich. Presently, individual national governments determine how to prevent and respond to malaria. Differing responses between countries can lead to problems for one another. Malaria, like all infectious diseases, does not respect borders.
As a disease, malaria provides an avenue to gain involvement in all aspects of health from systems to frontline health workers and researchers to logistics. "Malaria represents all aspects of global health," said Dr. Rabinovich.
The overarching goal of the Scholar in Residence is to focus on applied malaria control, treatment and prevention strategies, says the official announcement. That will include areas such as disease eradication efforts; drug and vaccine strategies; financial tools and strategies; and modeling to evaluate the effectiveness of eradication strategies.

This is way overdue, but if you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll remember our story about (now former) VCU track and cross country runner Tyler Simmons' quest to bike across the United States this summer to raise money for a paralyzed friend, Ricky Chang. I'm happy to report that not only did Simmons and two other riders complete the 3,700-mile trek, but they raised more than $22,000, $2,000 more than their original goal.
Of course, it was anything but easy. There was a near-manged ankle in the plains, an unforgiving headwind in Kansas and an impromptu root canal in Colorado, just to name a few of the pitfalls. But on July 17, forty-seven days after departing Manassas, Va., they hit the shore in San Francisco. Absolutely incredible.
If you want to read more about Simmons' quest, you can read his blog from the trip HERE. You can also find a ton of photos of the ride HERE and HERE. Congrats to Simmons, Chang and everybody involved.

For the "class $C^n$", I use the following definition from Rainer Kress's Linear Integral Equations(2nd edition):
A bounded open domain $D\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ with boundary $\partial D$ is said to be of class $C^n$, $n\in{\mathbb N}$, if the closure $\bar D$ admits a finite open covering $$ \bar{D}\subset\bigcup^p_{q=1}V_q $$ such that for each of those $V_q$ that intersect with the boundary $\partial D$ we have the properties: The intersection $V_q\cap \bar D$ can be mapped bijectively onto the half-ball $$H:=\{x\in{\mathbb R}^m:|x|<1,x_m\geq 0 \}$$ in ${\mathbb R}^m$, this mapping and its inverse are $n$ times continuously differentiable, and the intersection $V_q\cap\partial D$ is mapped onto the disk $H\cap\{x\in{\mathbb R}^m;x_m=0\}$. We express the property of a domain $D$ to be of class $C^n$ also by saying that its boundary $\partial D$ is of class $C^n$.
Here is my question:
Let $D$ be an open bounded domain in ${\mathbb R}^m(m=2,3)$. Defined the parallel surfaces $$ \partial D_h:=\{z=x+h\nu(x):x\in\partial D\} $$ with a real parameter $h$ [EDIT: where $\nu(x)$ is the unit normal vector of $\partial D$ directed into the exterior domain ${\mathbb R}^m\setminus \bar D$]. If $\partial D$ is assumed to be of class $C^2$, how can I see that $\partial D_h$ is of class $C^1$?
This question might be rather elementary in differential geometry (DG). But I cannot figure out the answer since I am a beginner in DG. I get this problem when I am learning the potential theory in PDE. I don't have any intuition that why the parallel surface is less smoother than the original boundary from the definition. I wrongly thought that it should be smoother.

You're early into your learning experience as a guitarist, and it's time to either be teaching yourself, or more commonly, looking for a good teacher. A good teacher is always critical at this point, even if you, as we mostly do, end up teaching yourself. Even though I am a completely self-taught guitar player, there was a period in the beginning where I got the guidance of a wonderful classical guitar teacher. I was very young, only ten, but I found that her lessons gave me a deep respect for the guitar, especially as the result of so much classical and very stringent technique. I also found that her attitude towards me, which was so supportive, was extremely helpful. She was very tuned into my good ear, and I learned so easily from her just by watching and listening. This encouraged me no end, as I could see that she was quite proud of my natural abilities, and always nurtured them.
This is certainly what I always try to do with any really gifted students of my own, and if you're looking for a teacher, always be aware of their supportiveness, and also be on the lookout for impatience, and someone who is just too critical. This is important, because at this stage of your development, you must always be encouraged! You never know when a student may finally "blossom", and it takes a good student/teacher relationship to help the process along. I have noticed that a lot of my early and very young students' development seems to move right along with their growth development too. It really seems that when a student's hands are finally large enough, they are also suddenly much more capable of finally tackling the more difficult techniques. So don't be too discouraged when starting early, especially if you are still growing; your ability will surely grow right with you!
Also, if you are a parent taking your child to lessons, always be on the lookout for what he or she may have to say about how the teacher treats them. Even better, try to "sit in" on some of the teaching sessions if you can, without being too disruptive to the lesson itself. I often welcome a parent who likes to be there during the lesson, but I can't stand when they try to "take over" the lesson, and totally disrupt my rhythm. In the end, they're doing much more to hurt their child's learning process than to help it!
So, always try to find a good student/teacher relationship, and make sure the teacher takes a truly relaxed, yet professional approach throughout all stages of the learning process. You'll be glad you did, and it will pay off for your entire musical life!
Okay, so now we assume you may have a decent guitar that feels good to play, and you're ready to start really learning! This is an incredibly exciting time for you, as the world of guitar is wide open to you, and to all you will want to discover. One of the most important things will be for you to be able to find the time to devote to playing the guitar as much as possible. You will need to build up the toughness of the tips of your fretting fingers, so it won't be so painful to you in the beginning. This is critical, as many are turned off by playing the guitar in the beginning by it simply hurting too much! So, play a little each day in the beginning, as you don't want to develop blisters too soon, which will really hurt. As you build up the callous on your fingers, you can then "step up" your daily playing regimen into more and more time.
Once you're really into playing, it's important to keep it a happy time for you. I never considered it to be "practice", as the pure joy I was getting from the guitar just made me have to "play" rather than "practice" each and every day. This is what you must keep in mind; it's always meant to be fun to play the guitar, and this is a stage where each new discovery on the instrument is meant to be a positive experience. If you have a private teacher who is just giving you a bunch of uninteresting material and telling you to practice it hard and to have it ready by the next lesson, I'd suggest that you change teachers. A good teacher should always have you feel like you're making real music right from the start, because after all, that's why you started playing in the first place, right?!
I can remember that I loved to play so much when I used to come home from school that my parents would always find me asleep, with my guitar in my arms, with the record I was playing to skipping at the end! This was a regular occurrence, as I always couldn't wait to get home and play what I was dreaming up in my head! So be sure to make all those wonderful guitar fantasies of yours come true, every chance you get, and be sure to learn something new every day. Also, make sure you always dedicate some time each day to play, you'll be so glad you did!
Hi, everyone, and welcome back to my new blog entries for my "basics" series. I am so happy to be adding another dimension to my Gibson lessons by offering a lot more material for the "beginners" and "newcomers" out there who have lots of needs ad questions to be addressed!
In this entry, I am continuing the discussion I started last time about hunting for your first guitar, and how critical that can be. This is a "once in a lifetime" experience that really is full of memories, as well as potential "bumps in the road" as you find your way to that perfect "first" instrument! I know that back in my early days, my father was so encouraging about me getting into the guitar, that he took an active role in looking for guitars with me, as well as falling in love with the sheer beauty of them, both electric as well as acoustic. We always passionately went from store to store, looking at vintage pieces, as well as looking into whatever was available at that time that we could get on a budget. I ended up buying a cheap Japanese-made guitar called an "Ideal" along with a real beginner's amp. It certainly looked cool, had lots of chrome, four (count 'em) four pickups, and lots of slider switches! I already had a good classical guitar at that point, which was really well-made, but the electric turned out to be a mistake, and within a year, I was already looking for, and falling in love many other more expensive guitars.
Hi, and welcome to my new "blog" section, devoted to the more "beginner" players out there. I certainly hope you gain a lot of insight from both my new lessons, as well as these blogs!
Today, we start with the simple or not-so-simpletask of choosing the right guitar for you. Keep in mind that if you're not really playing yet at all, buying a guitar is a vast, uncharted frontier to navigate! The first thing you'll always be attracted to is how the instrument "looks," since how it actually plays and sounds is barely of consequence to you; and even if it was, you wouldn't have the tools to really check it out properly for yourself yet. I know that I always look forward to helping my beginner students get their first instruments, as I take great pride in making sure the right guitar is in their hands! There's nothing like a clean slate with which to work, and the new guitar is a wonderful experience that goes hand in hand with the new learning. For god's sake, I can still remember how my first couple of guitars' cases smelled when I opened them up! Come to think of it…I can recall how every guitar's case smelled that I've ever owned! But I digress…
Anyway, many times you may get a really good salesman who will take the time with you to make sure that you really get the right guitar for you, as opposed to just getting what you're most attracted to.
Of course, the physical attraction must be there as well. It's kind of like buying a car; no matter what we really care and feel about in terms of safety, gas mileage, reliability etc., it still has to totally look cool to us, and suit our personalities. This is very true of guitars, as well, and if we like the way it looks, it's already saying a lot about us. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of time to start collecting later on, and realizing that there can never be enough guitars that we think look or sound cool! As our music becomes more complex and eclectic, so shall our taste in guitars, as we will find all kinds of excuses as to why we may need "just one more"!
But first, make sure that your introductory instrument is something that doesn't fight you, plays easily, fits your hands well, isn't too heavy, and of course, is attractive to you. We never want something that makes us not want to pick it up, but we always want something that makes us have to pick it up! It'll only make us better players, and faster learners, too! Happy guitar hunting! Stay tuned for more advice!
Hi everyone, and welcome to my new Blog, which will focus much more on the "basics" of guitar, the music business and much more. In the course of these Blogs, which are also going to accompany my line of more "basic" Gibson lessons, we'll be talking about taking you from "Guitar Hero" to you first gig and beyond! Maybe even to being a real guitar hero! Regardless, I'll be focusing on the real nitty-gritty of what it takes for you to really make your way in this world as a guitarist, whether it's for your own personal pleasure, or if you, like I did, intend to make it your life. The guitar, and music in general, is such a continuing learning experience, and with myself being a self-taught musician I have countless stories, "words to the wise" and many other tips and pointers I can impart to really help you navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of a musical career.
We'll be discussing everything, from buying your first guitar to copywriting and publishing songs. All that you'll need to know will be passed on to you, by me, someone who has learned it all in the real "school of life," and who knows how to pass it on. I also must say, that I welcome your comments and questions always, so please do not hesitate to write to me, and I will try as hard as I can to answer all of them!
So, please be sure to stay tuned, as you'll never know what new ideas and inspiration you'll be able to draw from these Blogs I'll be posting! I truly hope you enjoy them!

READING - A city woman was arrested and charged with sexually abusing a 9-year-old boy while she baby sat him.
According to a press release from the Berks County District Attorney's Office, Jalissa Destinee Baez, 19, of Miller Street in Reading, was charged Thursday with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault, endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors and indecent exposure.
According to detectives with the district attorney's child abuse unit, the abuse was initially reported to city police who were told the child suffered the abuse at Baez's hands at a home in the 200 block of Pear Street. The child's father was working at the time of the assaults, police said.
Police said the abuse occurred between March and June of 2012 at the father's home.
A warrant was issued for Baez's arrest on Feb. 13 and it was served Thursday at the home of Baez's mother in the 300 block of Miller St., detectives said. Baez is awaiting arraignment.
Berks County detectives were assisted in the investigation by the Children Alliance Center and Berks County Children and Youth Services.

[Verse 1: XV]
What got in her is all them girls that got in her
Ear when she heard that old nerd is newly popular
Getting looks of you on facebook, saying "X fine!"
This is when Urkel turned into Stefan
Unless I'm going crazy
And all of these ladies always liked dude
I was like Common & Kanye: too shy, dude
Now they mad when I move how I move
That's how your hoes turn to foes like 2 times 2
See, I knew it would happen with the rappin
And they lacking and they cashing
The kid in band class has got em on the band wagon
Blast from the past, chicks in class, I was passing
Notes to, they checkmark the box they said no to
I'm a new man like Randy, you can't stand your old dude
And when I ask about him you say "me and him are so through!"
All of the time I gave you all of my time
Now I got none to give and I'm all on your mind..
[Hook: GLC] x2
Now it's up to you to say that you were wrong
When I knew all along you'd call my phone
And shawty
(You can only blame yourself)
When you just hear the tone
Don't leave a message and just leave me alone
[Verse 2: Emilio Rojas]
Remember when you left me? You right for me now
I couldn't get the time of day
Now you want nights on the town, right
But a threesome what I like right now
Life a bitch and karma's a bitch, I'm dykin' it out
Like mama mama mama, you could be the one
Really, I ain't fuckin' with you, you should be a nun
If you want a reason from me, I would say because
I told you because no love cause I'm over you, over you
I roll with a chosen few, no one was as cold as you
Your heart is like some frozen food
When I would go to school, I would get ignored
You toy with my emotions like pieces on a board
I'm Jordan and scorin' it in at every turn
Before the kid was pennin', you was never concerned
Now a phsycician in a clinic askin' "when you gon learn?"
Just tell that bitch, it isn't pimpin' if you never been burned
[Verse 3: Casey Veggies]
She heard me screamin
Joined back on the team then
Started loving me more
The art of winning that war
These women don't love these artists
They often take them to stores
And hope that they get em the presents
With money we made on tour
That's cold: but you know, life ain't fair
When I needed you most
You see, your life wasn't there
When I leave here and coast
Now the phone rings bells
Looking at it while we blow L's and press decline
I'm fine on all that
Got too much on my mind, it's time to fall back
Caught up in the grind and you trying to crawl back
My heart is in these lines, hope this markers soon be fine
I hope these models love wine and these white jacuzzi towels
Roll with the winners, Ruth's Chris dinners
All good intentions, chasing dreams, like a J O B
See me shining, now I'm on a track with GLC

[Produced by DJ Don Cannon]
[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Howdy do motherfuckas, it's Weezy Baby
Niggas bitchin' and I gotta tote the (Cannon)
Listen close, I got duct tape and rope
I leave you missing like the fucking O'bannons
One hand on my money, one hand on my buddy
That's the AK-47, make his neighborhood love me
Bullets like birds, you can hear them bitches humming
Don't make that bird shit, he got a weak stomach
Niggas know I'm sick, I don't spit, I vomit, got it?
One egg short of the omelet
Simon says: "shoot a nigga in his thigh and leg"
And tell him "catch up" like mayonnaise
Um, I'm the sickest nigga doing it, bet that baby
These other niggas dope, I'm wet crack baby
Yes, get back, get back boy, this a setback
Clumsy ass niggas slip and fall into a debt trap
Them boys pussy, born without a backbone
And if you strapped we can trade like the Dow Jones
Wet em up, I hope he got his towel on
I aim at your moon and get my howl on
Some niggas cry wolf, I'm on that dry kush
And when it come to that paper I stack books
You heard what I said
I can put you on your feet or put some money on ya head
Life ain't cheap, you better off dead if you can't pay the fee
Shout out my nigga Fee
See every motherfucka at the door don't get a key
You're outside looking in, so tell me what you see
It's about money, it's bigger than me
I tell my homies: "don't kill him, bring the nigga to me"
Yeah, don't miss, you fucking with the hitman
Kidnap a nigga, make him feel like a kid again
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Straight up, I ain't got no conversation for you
Nigga talk to the (Cannon)
Yeah, have a few words with the (Cannon)
Yeah, tell it to my motherfucking (Cannon)
Straight up, I ain't got no conversation for you
Nigga talk to the (Cannon)
Yeah, have a few words with the (Cannon)
Yeah, tell it to my motherfucking (Cannon)
[Verse 2: Freeway]
From Philly to where I'm landing I'm a (Cannon)
And I'm on that Philly fighting shit and I come fully equipped
You trolley, get bodied, keep nina and shotty in the whip
If a nigga try to stick me I'mma blam him
Sing along now, di-di-dadi, I'm Free, got the butters
Got the green, he got the tan, got the whole enchilada
Owe me dough, I'm inside of ya house, tie up ya brother
Make the prick call up ya mother, she might know where to find you
I am on top of my job, the heavyweight champ of the flowers
Flow like the ocean, open water, ya drowning, I will
Four-pound him and sink him, heat him, then leave him stinking
Sharks surround him and eat him, nice to know him, I will
Roll over your squad like I'm "One Punch" Carr
You chumps, you best call General Motors, I will
Take control of your soldiers, you won't miss 'em
'Til I toss em in the wok like chicken, General Tso, uh-oh!
[Verse 3: Willie the Kid]
I make it hard for rap niggas, I'm peer pressure
Matter of fact I'm motivation to rap better
I showed niggas how to act, how to dress better
I stay fresh, more fitted caps than bad catchers
I'm the crack, the smack, the gun, the rule
The gat, the strap, the gun, the tool
The motherfucking (Cannon)
Other words, I'm the real, for real
We can go check for check or bill for bill
We can go chick for chick or skill for skill
The deal is sealed, niggas ain't real as Will, 'cause I'm a (Cannon)
And I handle well, pedal like Cannondale
And I got the 50-cal mag, its a handheld (Cannon)
I'm telling you niggas, I pop, put a shell in you niggas
My nice watch'll Helen Keller you niggas
I got whores in the Canon camcorder bendin' over
Blowing 'ghan by the quarter, weed odor in the Rover, nigga
[Verse 4: Detroit Red]
Detroit Red gettin' change like them white folks
Dump it out the window of the Range with the rifle
Pain like a bitch like the first day of a cycle
You better scurry when I pull the (Cannon)
Tracks burn the streets like a truck do the gas
I love head and caressing a voluptuous ass
I ask ya baby mama is she up to the task
She like "Damn Red, it's bigger than (Cannon)"
My attire makes the ladies say ya man is too fly
Imported oils from Iran and Dubai
Get caught slipping with ya mans and you die
Where I'm from niggas be quick to squeeze the (Cannon)
Detroit Red always got some shit for ya ear
Show me love but keep it moving man, cause if you get near
I'll say, get off my dick and tell ya bitch to come here
'Cause you sweating me and my DJ Don (Cannon)
[Verse 5: Juice]
Legs spread far out, you know how I'm standing
Yeah I'm posted with the big homie (Cannon)
I got niggas who don't like rap lovin' our shit
We got niggas who was stuck on Pac bumpin' our shit
These niggas can't see me like I ain't been around lately
A good batter when they at the mound its gravy
Niggas salty, I'm pepper, no Spinderella
Just a cigarillo, filled with Tropicana
Yeah, Vic found that lick now we not smoking no more regular
Keep ya mid-grade, I don't think you know no better
They love "In Da Trunk", now they wanna hear more shit
I play it modest like "nigga that's some of our old shit,"
Got niggas I ain't never met wanting to fight me
Got hoes that's in love asking "why you don't like me"?
Bitch I'm married to the game and I love my wifey
Steppin' over competition, man I love these Nikes
Yeah, I'm hot, they fanning
Niggas try to copy my style like the Canon
Don't try to compare I'm in a league of my own
If I ain't listed at the top, nigga the stats is wrong
All the data is off, ya info ain't valid
Artist of the century the competition ain't balanced
True like Master P and his two brothers
Don't call it incest, but Juice the motherfucker, like
Essentially the precursor to "A Milli," it seemed that by the end of summer (of 2006) everyone had recorded a verse over "Cannon"
The non-Wayne rappers on the song – Freeway, Willie the Kid, Detroit Red, and Juice – turn out decent performances, but mainly you keep listening to the song's dope beat (perhaps hoping that Wayne has another verse)
The song is called "Cannon" because it was produced by DJ Drama affiliate Don Cannon, who uses this "Cannon" sound as his ID in tracks he has produced
DJ Drama broke down the creation of this record for us:

Artistic interpretations of Nintendo's most popular fantasy swordsman run the gamut from burly and broad-shouldered to effing pissed to utterly horrifying. But these stripped-down paintings by Dave Palumbo represent a more grounded, pulp fantasy take on the Hero of Hyrule.
Palumbo—who's done work for Blizzard, Marvel and Wizards of the Coast—removes the iconic hat and doubles down on finer details like glinting chainmail and tattered boots. The result is a Link who looks like he could have been created by Robert E. Howard instead of Shigeru Miyamoto. This pointy-eared hero? He's not so gentle.

As a dedicated numbers geek, I have a special love for statistics. Stats are what separate truth from myth, rumour and lies: in these interconnected times, it's easy to spot a liar by their refusal to back "facts" with solid statistical evidence (or providing dead-end references to blogs that in turn don't reference any verifiable evidence).
One of the highlights of the stats-geek's calendar is the publication of census results. Censuses provide the biggest, most in-depth statistics, on a scale that only governments can afford to commission. The 2001 England & Wales census provided a fascinating insight into British life and culture; and having digested it, I spent much of the following decade waiting impatiently for the next chapter. The 2011 census results were finally published in late-2012, and made for fascinating reading.
There are two particularly interesting sections in the census results, covering religious belief and racial origin. On the religious front, this census showed what had long been suspected: a collapse in religious belief. Those declaring themselves to have no religion had leapt from 15% to 25% over the ten year period between censuses.
The headline figures on race were also interesting: the white population is now reported to be 86% across the country, and in London, 60%. 6.8% of the nation originates in the Indian subcontinent, and 3.4% identifies as black.
But the most significant change relates to the people declaring themselves as mixed race. This group has increased more than any other, almost doubling in the past decade to 2.2% – meaning that, for the first time, the mixed race population numbers over a million. The mixed race – or "none of the above" – population will continue to grow faster than any other, for simple mathematical reasons. Any person can (theoretically) produce a mixed-race child; and, as racial divides continue to weaken, many more people will.
Racial definition is in part a political decision: in Britain, a person with parents of different racial origins will probably self-describe as mixed-race. In the US, because of the legacy of racist slavery and segregation laws, many mixed-race people identify as black – witness the "black" President himself, the offspring of a European and an African, and Tiger Woods, the "black" golfer, who is in fact more Asian than he is African.
This "one-drop" definition of blackness was designed to hold back the black population; yet perversely, it is black Americans who now most fiercely cling to this racist definition of blackness.
In Britain, without a history of legal segregation to overcome, people are more free to choose a label that most fits their choice of identity, and the mixed race label is thus the fastest growing one of all.
But there are people who dislike the rise of "none of the above"; the far-right's political pitch has always been based around the "they're not like us" strategy. In the 1930s the Jews were too alien (they said) to fit in with "British culture". Then, black West Indians were too different from us, and black immigration was prophesied to cause irreparable social harm in the 1970s. Then, Indians and Pakistanis were again too different; and then Poles and many other groups. Racists hate the rise of "none of the above", because it proves them wrong. The existence of a growing mixed race population is testament to the fact that immigration doesn't cause social meltdown (in fact, an analysis of crime figures in recent decades suggests that immigration has helped create a more, rather than less stable society).
Desperate to disrupt the rising racial integration, the most moronic sections of the far-right refer to the rise of racial mixing as "white genocide" (here's a link to a far-right "white genocide" site – not for the faint-hearted). The idea that interracial coupling is "genocide" is, of course laughable. As globalisation proceeds, all people will become increasingly mixed; and in fact, we already are. DNA analysis demonstrates that the true mixed race population of the UK is far higher than 2.2%; it's just that most mixed-race people are unaware of their origins.
But the most vocal opponents to black/white racial couplings aren't only niche groups of far-right white nationalists, but also parts of the black population. I've often heard (and seen on Facebook) open discussions advocating against racial mixing, and calling on black men and women to select black partners; such discussions, if conducted among white people, would be (rightly) described as racist. In my personal observation and experience, mixed couples in London are more likely to receive negative comments and attitudes from black people than from whites. Many black people – backed by middle-class whites with little direct experience of multiracial urban life – try to excuse such attitudes; but I see no difference between those morons fearing the dilution of "white identity" and those fearing the dilution of "black identity". A bigot who has a problem with the racial blend of a couple he has never met is a bigot, whatever his race.
The recent biopic Marley outlined how Bob Marley, as a mixed race child in rural Jamaica, had to contend with teasing and prejudice from his peers (naturally, once he became a global "black" superstar, his black fans were quick to forget his mixed background – but Marley himself never did). Those who are fastest to identify racism in others are slowest to see it in themselves.
Those who feel a gut dislike at the sight of a black man with a white woman, or a white man with a black woman, are racists – whether or not they choose to accept or admit this. Certainly, the afro-centric tradition has become more adept at masking racist ideology behind intellectual-sounding justifications than their white racist cousins. It's easier for many to mock British and American fascists than it is to criticise black people who oppose racial mixing – but strip away the differences in presentation, and there is no underlying difference in ideology – the dislike of mixing comes from the gut, not from the mind.
The rise of the mixed race is unstoppable; it began with the great Persian, Greek and Roman empires, and went into overdrive when the European empires began their global rise and fall. It will accelerate until the time when we have forgotten what "race" once meant. Some people – white, black, Asian – feel uncomfortable about this. That's their problem.

Rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill is on the Miami Dolphins' sideline after suffering a left quadriceps and knee injury during Sunday's 30-9 victory against the New York Jets. He is questionable to return.
Tannehill was injured in the first quarter when Jets linebacker Calvin Pace came unblocked on a third-down play and pulled the quarterback to the ground for a sack.
Tannehill didn't take a hard hit from Pace, but he limped off the field and was examined on the table by Dolphins trainers. Matt Moore immediately began warming up and entered the game following a three-and-out by the Jets on their first drive.
UPDATE: Tannehill told reporters after the game that he hyperextended his knee and also suffered a deep thigh bruise. He will undergo an MRI on Monday. Tannehill also said he could have played in an emergency situation against the Jets.

Welcome to the "Wake and Bake" Super Bowl.
The NFL won't call it that, of course. Not unless the league can license it and turn a profit.
But that's what this is, and besides, "Wake and Bake" Super Bowl is easier to remember than those cockamamie Roman numerals, especially if you're waking and baking.
The NFL's preferred buttoned-down week officially starts Tuesday with media day. Richard Sherman, your podium is ready.
Everybody's hoping Sherman puts on a show, but I'm guessing that won't happen. Last week, Sherman was fined almost $8,000 for being entertaining and interesting. Sherman went to Stanford. He's smart enough to have learned his lesson.
But the interesting thing is that weed is all over this Super Bowl already.
For starters, the Broncos and Seahawks represent the states that approved recreational marijuana use. Seems like they should be on the same side in this game, doesn't it? Instead, this feels like Cheech vs. Chong.
Colorado already is selling it, precedent-setting. Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher called Colorado the "Jackie Robinson of pot.''
Washington is right behind, sort of the the Larry Doby of weed. The state voted in recreational pot, but hasn't opened dispensaries. I'm not sure why Washington would lag behind. Maybe Colorado pot dealers ran the no-huddle.
By comparison, Illinois has a limited and strict medical marijuana law that went into effect this month but has left patients months away from access. The state's law covers 33 conditions, but proponents are campaigning to include chronic pain, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome and watching Mel Tucker's defense.
But wait. There's more. The "Wake and Bake" Super Bowl is not about just the states represented and their liberal laws. No, the Super WB Club starts with Roger Goodell.
The NFL commissioner said he would consider allowing players to use marijuana if medical experts determined that pot is a solution to treat head injuries and concussions.
Sounds fair, seeing as how NFL wonks must've gotten hold of some strong stuff when they approved a Super Bowl in a cold-weather city in an outdoor stadium in February.
Naturally, as you would expect in a "Wake and Bake" Super Bowl, the issue came up the first time reporters had a session with coaches. Seattle's Pete Carroll strongly supported medical marijuana use if science concluded it helped players in a game built on head injuries.
"We have to continue to explore and compete to find ways that are going to make our game a better game and take care of our players in the best way possible,'' Carroll said. "The fact that it's in the world of medicine is obviously something (Goodell) realized and him making the expression that we need to follow the information and research (is something) absolutely I'm in support of.
"Regardless of what other stigmas may be involved, I think we have to do this because the world of medicine is trying to do the exact same thing and figure it out and they're coming to some conclusions.''
The only thing missing is a player tweeting out that it's "time to wake n bake'' the way former Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes did in 2010.
But it's early in what has become pot's biggest week in a while. Super bowl, indeed. It feels like Snoop Lion should be hosting this event.
But there is more that can be done. We're here for the fun, right? Indeed, and there is greater entertainment value to be had.
As noted on a Pinterest page that pops up when you google Super Bowl and pot, "If weed is ever legalized, I can't wait to see the commercials.''

Ackley vs. Buscetto to play out over three New London ethics hearings
New London - The battle between the police chief and a city councilor who is running for mayor continues, with the Board of Ethics setting a hearing to discuss what may ultimately be just a footnote in the three-month-long saga.
The Board of Ethics will hold a hearing in three sessions in November and December to discuss a complaint from Chief Margaret Ackley, who is alleging that City Councilor Michael Buscetto III violated the city's Code of Ethics when he refused to recuse himself from City Council meetings in August.
But the larger issue, which the City Council has hired a retired Superior Court judge to investigate, revolves around Ackley's allegations that Buscetto has tried to undermine her authority as chief with "defamatory remarks and threats."
K. Robert Lewis, chairman of the ethics board, said Monday that members will meet with their attorney at 6 p.m. on Nov. 2 at City Hall to discuss procedures for the hearing, which centers on Buscetto refusing to recuse himself from three meetings in August in which Ackley's retirement contract was discussed.
The board previously found probably cause that Buscetto violated the parts of the ethics code that pertain to standards of conduct, conflict of interest and confidential information.
The hearing is expected to start at 5 p.m. on Nov. 16 at City Hall and continue to 5 p.m. on Nov. 30 and 6 p.m. on Dec. 7.
Interference alleged
In an Aug. 10 letter to City Attorney Thomas Londregan from Ackley's attorney Shelley Graves, Ackley asked for a closed meeting to discuss "improper conduct, primarily by City Councilman Michael Buscetto, aimed to impede her ability to effectively function as police chief.'' She also alleged that Buscetto's conduct was creating "a hostile work environment."
The letter alluded to "defamatory remarks, threats and improper systemic interference orchestrated by Councilman Buscetto ...''
The ethics board released the letter over the weekend, when it announced it had found probable cause to go forward with the complaint.
In late July, the City Council learned of an April 6 memorandum of understanding between Ackley and City Manager Denise Rose. It outlined a retirement agreement that, in part, requires Ackley to remain as chief through December but also includes a clause that allows her to opt out of the retirement agreement in December and remain on the job.
Londregan has said the document is binding, even though the council had no knowledge of it until August.
At the time, Ackley said she wanted to retire and blamed Buscetto for interfering with her department. She threatened a lawsuit, but no lawsuit has been filed.
During an Aug. 24 City Council meeting, Graves gave Londregan a letter that outlined her specific complaints against Buscetto, which the city has refused to release. The Day has filed a Freedom of Information complaint to obtain the document, which is pending.
During all three meetings, Ackley asked Buscetto not to go into the closed meetings when her complaints were being discussed. He refused.
In his response to the complaint, Buscetto said there is no evidence to support an ethics violation. He said he has no financial or personal interest in the issues and was never given an opportunity to vote on any action pertaining to Ackley's retirement negotiation, contract or legal claims.
Ackley never gave a reason as to why he should not attend the meetings, he said.
"If this were to be considered probable cause, it would allow any person coming before the council to eliminate any councilor they wanted from hearing information by simply requesting that a person recuse themselves without stating facts,'' Buscetto wrote in response to the allegation. "The chilling effect that could follow would put the elected officials in New London in a position that would make it nearly impossible to govern effectively."
In August, Lewis sent a memo to city councilors suggesting that his board, rather than the City Council, look into the chief's allegations. Lewis asked how the council, which includes three mayoral candidates, could order an investigation into allegations made against one candidate and then have all three candidates vote on the findings.
Monday, Lewis said he never received a response.

There are fewer dealers than in 2007 — the numbers floating around indicate about 35% or 40% fewer — and although people aren't turning out in droves to buy boats, dealers appear to be realizing the fruits of the discipline imposed on them by what many have called the industry's most brutal recession ever.
Soundings Trade Only reported that there has been an uptick in sales, although data show that the increase is modest — about 10% in a market that remains drastically reduced from prerecession levels.
"But I think what we don't understand always is that's 10% up over a market that's got fewer dealers, so the dealers themselves are seeing greater growth individually because there's fewer dealers to do that business," says Matt Gruhn, president of the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas.
Prior to the recession, dealers relied heavily on new-boat sales, Gruhn adds.
"What the recession taught them was they have to profit from service, figure out a way to profit from parts or F&I or rentals. Basically, they needed to diversify," he says. "Those who were able to do that came out of this much stronger, and the opportunities they have today are much greater than they would be if they hadn't. I think that plays into the upside that dealers are feeling today."
