WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Representative Todd Akin resisted pressure to quit the U.S. Senate race in Missouri on Tuesday, releasing a new ad apologizing for his inflammatory remarks about rape that have reinserted controversial abortion politics into the U.S. presidential campaign.
In an ad released online, Akin again apologized for his comments Sunday, when he claimed in a television interview that women could not get pregnant from "legitimate rape," even as senior Republicans condemned his remarks and called for him to step aside in the race.
Tuesday is the last day for candidates to file in the Missouri race, giving Republicans until later in the day to easily submit a replacement, if Akin decides to drop out.
"Rape is an evil act. I used the wrong words in the wrong way, and for that I apologize," Akin said in the Web video.
"The fact is, rape can lead to pregnancy. The truth is, rape has many victims. The mistake I made was in the words I said, not in the heart I hold. I ask for your forgiveness," he added. Akin, noting that he is the father of two daughters, also said he wanted "tough justice" for rapists and expressed compassion for victims.
The Republican challenger is running against Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill in the November 6 election. Akin has until 5 p.m. CDT/6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) Tuesday to drop out without a court order. He can quit as late as September 25 if he produces an order to remove his name from the ballot.
His comments have become a distraction ahead of next week's Republican convention to nominate Mitt Romney for U.S. president and put the focus on social issues, rather than Romney's main message of the economy and jobs.
The controversy has also complicated Republican efforts to win the majority in the 100-member Senate.
But a poll conducted Monday night showed little effect from the controversy on the closely contested Missouri race.
Findings from Public Policy Polling showed Akin ahead of McCaskill 44 percent to 43 percent, even though the majority of Missouri voters said his rape comments were inappropriate. Before the controversy, the polling firm found Akin ahead 45 percent to 44 percent.
"Todd Akin still has a very decent chance at winning the Missouri Senate race," said Dean Debnam, president of the polling firm. "Voters were appalled by his comments about abortion, but not so much that they decided to vote Democratic when they were previously planning to support the GOP."
McCaskill's job approval is also an issue. The poll, which surveyed 500 likely Missouri voters, found that 41 percent of voters approve of her work in Congress, while 53 percent disapprove. The poll's margin of error was 4.4 percentage points.
On Sunday, Akin told KTVI television in St. Louis that the need for abortions in the case of rape was a tough question and that as far as pregnancy is concerned, "if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." Scientists and doctors have long discredited that theory.
Romney on Monday denounced Akin's remarks as "insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly wrong," and top Republicans have called on Akin to withdraw from the race and cut off advertising.
President Barack Obama and other Democrats also called Akin's remarks offensive.
Akin is a Tea Party-backed conservative who opposes abortion.
Along with Romney's vice presidential pick, Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, Akin proposed legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would have changed the legal definition of rape to "forcible rape" to limit federal funding for abortions. Critics said the measure could exempt victims of statutory rape.
Ryan also proposed legislation that would outlaw abortion with no exception for rape.

Home / Commitment / Americas / Forests & Fabric Choices
At Quiksilver, we want to make sure the world's remaining ancient and endangered forests endure, along with the ecosystem value they provide through clean water, carbon storage, and biodiversity. Within the global fabric supply chain we are aware of an increase in the use of wood-based pulp, including rayon, viscose, modal, and lyocell. We are therefore committed to using reasonable efforts to influence our own fabric supply chain in order to protect remaining ancient and endangered forests.
To do so, we have adopted policy language for protecting ancient and endangered forests through fabric choices, which: a) Encourages the protection of ancient and endangered forests, including the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, the Canadian and Russian Boreal, and the tropical forests of Indonesia and the Amazon; b) Requests that fabrics sourced from forests are from responsibly managed forests certified to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification or other credible third party certifiers with equivalent standards; and c) Encourages the development and adoption of fiber sources that reduce environmental and social impacts.
With support from environmental not-for-profit Canopy Planet www.canopyplanet.org, we will work to further lasting solutions in ancient and endangered forest preservation, and if we find fiber in our supply chain that is inconsistent with our commitments we will work with our suppliers to eliminate it.

This is the year to add PRI to our schedule of trade shows. We see many of our past SEMA exhibitors firmly ensconced at PRI and we have determined that this show is becoming a major trade show for the exhibit industry - Todd Koren, CEO
Tustin, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2015
PRI 2015 will include exhibits by 1200 racing companies, while drawing motorsports professionals from all 50 states and 70 countries. Show attendees come to the PRI Trade Show each year to shop and buy the up-to-the-minute racing products for the next race season. In 1988 PRI left the SEMA show held annually in Las Vegas as it moved into automotive performance aftermarket. While originally the Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association that show became the Specialty Equipment Market Association. PRI represented the racing market for racing retailers to view manufacturers of racing equipment. The first show was in Louisville in 1988 and with it came the golden age of NASCAR that brought racing to America.
In 2012, PRI was purchased by SEMA. SEMA then purchased the IMIS Show in Indianapolis to consolidate it into the PRI Trade Show and returned the PRI Trade Show to Indianapolis in 2013. The merging of the two shows was met with great enthusiasm throughout the racing industry, as was the return of the PRI Trade Show to the racing capitol of the world--Indianapolis.
Absolute Exhibits is a high volume exhibit rental manufacturer and has serviced SEMA's exhibitors for two decades through the Las Vegas manufacturing facility. "This is the year to add PRI to our schedule of trade shows. We see many of our past SEMA exhibitors firmly ensconced at PRI and we have determined that this show is becoming a major trade show for the exhibit industry," said Todd Koren, Absolute Exhibits CEO. "Our other Absolute Exhibits offices are in Southern California and Orlando, Florida. With seemingly 30%+ of PRI exhibitors coming from these two states and a large presence at SEMA, Las Vegas this show is a natural for Absolute Exhibits to highlight."
As an opening gesture and to allow PRI exhibitors the opportunity to use a one-price exhibit rental, Absolute Exhibits will discount all standard exhibit hardware rentals for PRI by 50% for signed orders received on or before October 19, 2015. All sales orders will include exhibit design, assigned project management, furniture, flooring, AV equipment, fabrication, shipping, and installation and dismantle. There will be no post show billing. This service and billing format is the rental package that positions Absolute Exhibits, a trade show booth rental company, apart from other exhibit providers in the USA.
About Absolute Exhibits
A leading exhibition firm, Absolute Exhibits provides clients with turnkey solutions for designing and fabricating exhibits while managing the entire trade show experience as a one-source trade show and convention exhibit resource. Established in 2000, with locations in Southern California, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Bucharest, Romania, Absolute Exhibits rents and sells custom and system exhibits at over 300 shows in the USA and in countries around the world.

Corporal punishment is out: Schools
By Linda Choudhury-Mahajan
On Aug 23, Sneha Gamre, a student of BPM High School, Khar, was hit by her teacher Malti Bedse (metro Aug 29-Sept 5). However, other schools in Bandra say they have banned corporal punishment since long. School authorities, though, admit that children need to be disciplined.
"Hitting is banned in our school. We usually don't have a problem with kids being excessively naughty as we are a girls' school, but if we come across a problem child, we call the parents, speak to the child and recommend that she speak to the counsellor," says Sr Anne Jose, principal of Durello Convent, off Turner Road.
"We don't use corporal punishment, but it can get difficult for teachers who have to manage a class of 70 or 80 students. At such times, a little whack or a light tap on the hand is not out of line. In fact, we have parents asking us to hit their children to discipline them," says Zilma Ranger, principal of St Aloysius School on Chapel Road. "If there is an extreme case of bad behaviour, we suspend students and ask them not to come to school till their parents meet us," she adds.
Fr Rodney Esperance, administrative head, St Andrew's High School on St Dominic's Road, says, "We do not encourage beating. Under the school code only the headmistresses and headmasters can resort to corporal punishment and that too in extreme cases." Fr Laurie Ferrao, principal of St Stanislaus, says he reprimanded a teacher in the past for hitting a child. "She apologised to the student and the matter was cleared," he reveals. Fr Rodney adds, "We prefer talking to the student, teacher and parents. We also get a counsellor to speak to both the students and parents on child abuse."
Besides calling the parents, another ploy that seems to work is penance study. "The boys have to give up part of their holiday and do excess homework. When students have to make a sacrifice, it works," says Fr Laurie Ferrao, principal of St Stanislaus.
Many teachers find that a problem child's behaviour stems from the house. "We believe in counselling students and involve their parents too in the session," says Maria D'Souza, a teacher at St Stanislaus High School, Hill Road. D'Souza says she is also not averse to visiting the student at home. "I have visited students' homes and spoken to their friends as it helps discover their background. Sometimes there's a problem at home which expresses itself in school," she points out.
According to her, corporal punishment is a short-term solution that may scar the student's mind.
'60% of teachers still use corporal or verbal punishments'
According to Jayant Jain, president of the Forum for Fairness in Education, corporal and verbal punishment continues in many schools despite the ban. "About 60 per cent of the teachers still use corporal or verbal forms of punishment but these cases go unreported.

Teachers warned against corporal punishment
SHRC member S Sambandham addressing an interactive programme on corporal punishment in schools in the city on Wednesday. SHRC Inspector General of Police Sarabjit Singh (left) and Director of Matriculation Schools Narayanasamy are also seen.
CHENNAI: Director of Matriculation Schools, Narayanasamy on Wednesday warned that severe action would be taken against teachers who inflicted corporal punishment on students.
"It is not enough that teachers excel in teaching alone, they must also know how to handle students," Narayanasamy said at an interactive programme with principals of matriculation schools in the city and officials of the State Education Department on the 'Need to avoid corporal punishment in schools'. The programme was organised by the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC).
Contending that teachers had no right to inflict corporal punishments on students, he said, "They must realise that the purpose of teaching is not merely to make students pass in the examinations, but also to inculcate right values and confidence in them to face the future."
Students are a sensitive and vulnerable section in society and teachers should make them aware of social issues. "While, in some cases, teachers punish students out of their anxiety to make them successful in the examinations, in others, the management's practice of offering incentives and increments to teachers who provide maximum results makes them apply tremendous pressure on students," Narayanasamy said.
SHRC member S Sambandham said the Commission had, in the recent past, received many complaints on corporal punishments. "While in many cases, corporal punishments cause physical injury and mental agony to students and also drive them to commit suicide, in some other cases, it would lead them to discontinue their studies."
As per Section 51 of the Tamil Nadu Educational Rules, corporal punishment should not be inflicted except in case of moral delinquency, and even then it should be limited to six blows on the hand and it should be done only under the supervision of the headmaster, he said. Sambandham would send his recommendations on the issue to the government after consultations.
Matriculation school principals, who took part in the session, wanted the student teacher ratio to be maintained at a reasonable level and also the redesigning of the syllabus.
"The issue is a triangle involving students, parents and teachers," they pointed out and said parents should also realise that education should not be result-oriented alone, but should help in personality development of their children.
Over 65 matriculation school principals participated in the programme. The SHRC will organise another interactive programme on the issue on Thursday for principals of government-aided schools.

Minor spanking is OK, say Vashi schools
By Rajendra Aklekar
No school in Navi Mumbai officially endorses corporal punishment as a way of dealing with naughty students. Most educational institutions manage students through a strict discipline and obedience regimen.
Though occasionally teachers do resort to minor spanking, officially they are not supposed to hit the students.
"Tell me who does it today? None of the schools in Navi Mumbai resort to corporal punishment. But sometimes minor spanking is necessary to point out to the student that he is wrong," says Alice Vaz, headmistress of Ryan International School, Kharghar.
Even parents admit that the parent-teacher associations (PTAs) across schools deal with issues such as high fee structure, school equipment, uniforms but corporal punishment is not an issue in Navi Mumbai. "It is a non-issue here," says Aniruddha Thakur, parent of a student in a Vashi school.
Also, most parents admit it is necessary and important to maintain discipline.
"There should be someone or something the naughty kids are afraid of. That's where punishments come in," says Devaki Vishwanathan, another parent. Vishwanathan leaves it to the teachers to maintain a proper balance between punishment and discipline.
AK Singh, principal of the Sushiladevi Deshmukh High School in Navi Mumbai, says his school resorts to hitting as the last option.
"We avoid corporal punishments. But sometimes naughty children learn and respond better when we instil a sense of discipline by a little spanking," says Singh. Singh was honoured as a model teacher by the Maharashtra minister of education Amrish Patel on Sept 5. "Some punishment or penalty is required," insists Singh.
Despite an official policy against hitting students, there have been stray cases in Navi Mumbai about teachers beating their students. A month ago, a parent from a school in Airoli filed a police case against the school and one of the teachers for allegedly hitting a student.
Thirteen-year-old Priyanka Ozarde, a Class 7 student of Radhikabai Meghe High School, was allegedly thrashed by her teacher for stretching her break and coming late to class. Dr Anil Oazarde, Priyanka's father and an active PTA leader, filed a police case.
"The school had been targeting my daughter because I am an active PTA member," says Dr Oazarde.
The school's principal, G Kanthi Prasad, however, maintains that her school does not allow corporal punishment and the staff has been instructed accordingly. "There have been stray cases but the best people to speak on the issue would be the management," she adds.
But by and large, most schools in Navi Mumbai opt for getting in touch with parents of a naughty child to tackle the issue or refer the student to the school counsellor.
For example, says a teacher from Nerul School, "Each student needs special attention and we cannot generalise them."
In Priyanka's case, the police say the father is taking the issue a little too far as he has grievances against the school.
"Sometimes the PTAs go overboard and are too aggressive. This can be harmful. But no school would opt for punishing its students by beating them up," adds Vaz.

Chapter 1 Summary
Mazie Holbrook is a six-year-old girl who lives with her family in a coal mining town in Wyoming. Life is very hard there for the families of the miners, and the miners sometimes die in the dangerous mines.
Mazie's father, Jim, works in the mine, like almost every man in the town. One morning, he picks up thirteen-year-old Andy Kvaternick for his first day working in the mine. This is sad, because Andy's father Chris was only recently killed in a mining accident, but Chris did not want his children to have to follow in his footsteps. Instead of getting an "edjication" as his father intended, Andy begins a life of back-breaking, lung-destroying work in the darkness, hoping that the mine will not claim his life too soon. After Andy emerges from his first day of work, he can barely breathe because of...

2011 Commons Congress attendees participated in one of five interdisciplinary 'Communities of Interest' that focused on scientific engagement, construction of advocacy plans, policy discussions, and briefings on progress and external efforts. The Community of Interest workshops addressed questions such as: What is needed next? How can I help build it and how can we ensure it leverages existing efforts? The goal was to help participants create new connections and see themselves and their work integrating into the Commons agenda. Following the platform sessions and the workshops, many of the Congress participants provided short video commitments of what they planned to do in the next year to contribute to the Congress and its vision. You can view the video commitments and comments by clicking on the participants photos below. [n.b. the videos may not function correctly on mobile devices]
Community A: Engaged Public. New roles for citizens and patients in building disease models and encouraging sharing.
Community B: Map Building. Where are the best disease models and who is building them?
Community C: Federation. What really is the Federation, how has it worked and where is it going?
Community D: Enabling Sharing. Key documents that can allow unlocking of currently inaccessible data sources.
Community E: Compute Platform. What is Synapse and how can I help build it and use it?

Summer can be really harsh on our hair -
I know it is on mine, too much sun and sea water!
So it's important to give it a bit of extra TLC over the some months
to keep it glossy and healthy. So here's a couple of good tips:-
For fine or limp hair: Nourish hair with a weekly hot-oil treatment. It's lighter than a mask and won't weigh down fine hair. Pick one with proteins, which fatten strands.
If you have curly or coarse hair: Once a week, apply a deep conditioner that contains keratin to just-shampooed hair. Leave it on for ten minutes. The conditioners seal the cuticle to keep out moisture (which helps prevent frizz), while the keratin strengthens hair to resist damage.

|Setting up Google Apps on WordPress.com
December 1, 2010
1. Add a registered domain to your blog
I won't go into this step in detail, as it's fairly well documented on WordPress.com. If you haven't already got this working, open your blog dashboard and go to the Upgrades page. If you already own your domain name you'll need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade and then redirect your name servers (follow these instructions). Otherwise, you may purchase your domain name through WordPress.com, provided that it ends in ".com", ".net", or ".org".
2. Sign up for Google Apps
Once you've created your Google Apps account and have logged in, you'll see a "Verify domain ownership" link on the left hand side of the Google Apps webpage. Don't bother with that link: strangely enough, none of the verification methods provided (even adding DNS TXT records) work with WordPress.com.
3. Verify domain ownership via WordPress.com
Back at the Edit DNS page, enter your verification code within the input box in the Google Apps section. Click on the "Generate DNS records" button. This will add several lines of code to the text box in the "Custom DNS Records" section at the top of the Edit DNS page. Click the "Save DNS records" button.
4. Test the integration

Influenza has killed an eight year old girl in McLean County. This is only the second child death related to flu in the state this season. Kera Simon is a spokeswoman for the McLean County Health Department:
"In this case it was not a novel or new flu virus. It was influenza-B that contributed to the death. But, there were other medical circumstances involved. And the death has been classified by the Illinois Department of Public Health as flu related."
This is also the second flu related death in McLean County since the season began in September. Records from the Centers for Disease Control and the Illinois Department of Public Health indicate the flu peaked about six weeks ago, but reports remain widespread in many states including Illinois. Simon says flu reports in the community are now at the same level as when they began to increase in December. The third grade girl from Bloomington-Normal died more than a week ago.

inHeritage were the interpretive writers on the Heritage Lottery Fund supported Coniston Copper project.
I've just seen a very exciting photo of one of the interpretive poems I've written for the Coniston Copper project.
Bill's ongoing project management and interpretation work with Walkley Historians is continuing apace.
We are delving into the second phase of interpretation implementation at the Treak Cliff Cavern Visitor Centre, Castleton.
We like to think we're a mine of information, so we're enjoying a new project in the Lake District to interpret Coniston's dramatic Copper-mines Valley.
We like trams at inHeritage. So we're excited to be on board at Crich Tramway Museum and National Tramway Collection to drive the creation of their interpretation strategy. We hope to keep their interpretation moving on the right tracks!
inHeritage are delighted to be working for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Team and DerwentWISE to help progress interpretation across the whole of the site.
We're delighted to announce we're starting an interpretation project with Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

Downtown urban living is continuing to grow and that trend is here to stay.
Past News ReleasesRSS
(PRWEB) March 01, 2008
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 1, 2008 -- "Downtown urban living is continuing to grow and that trend is here to stay," says Ray Walter of Walter Mortgage Funding. There is definitely a new trend resonating in downtown Austin as many professionals are choosing to live, work and play in proximity to one another.
If You Build It They Will Come
What's driving the development of http://www.fpaustin.com? For one, the abundance of new office space in downtown Austin? Many companies are now seizing the opportunity to move to operations to Austin due to the affordability of real estate, favorable State tax policies, the large technical employee pool and the beautiful Austin climate.
"Living in downtown Austin is about convenience, location and personalization," says Joshua Geary, Senior Marketing Consultant of Best Online Results. "People want to live close to their work to cut down on gas expenses, commute times to and from work, and people, especially those who graduate from UT want to stay connected to the vibrant Austin culture and community."
Live the Big City Life without the Big City Price
Most Austin apartment communities include little more than the basic amenities. However, The French Place Condos offers the best of the best at an affordable price. Starting at $995 a month, residents of The French Place Condos enjoy amenities usually only found in high-end locations like Manhattan and Miami. "French Place condos are designed with the resident in mind. The condos are large one bedroom units ranging from 650-680 square feet and come standard with bamboo floors, granite counter tops, comfortable floor plans and exceptional appliances." -- Jeff Lewis, Walter Mortgage Funding in Austin, Texas.
Other amenities include:
Grohe Fixtures in Kitchen and Bath, Granite Counter Tops, Stainless Steel Appliances, Hardwood Floors, Free Wireless Internet, Free basic cable
Location, Location, Location
Whoever first coined the phrase "Location, Location, Location" must have had The French Place Condos in mind. Just ask Google. According to WebPro News, Google has recently leased office space on the second floor of the Scarborough building. The company is expected to move to the area in the spring of this year. According to The Daily Texan, Google has already started placing ads on Google and MediaBistro for engineers.
Within the next year, 1,200 condo units will come on the market, ready for rent or buy. However, due to the affordability and amenities "we feel the French Place Condos will likely be a top choice of many urban professionals looking to reside in downtown Austin. With the growth in downtown Austin, we feel that downtown Austin will be a bustling metropolis within a metropolis," says Ray Walter.
If you wish to be one of the privileged few to enjoy all that The French Place Condos has to offer, then contact fpAustin.com for a private showing. With its convenient Downtown Austin location, it is our sincere hope that you will make French Place your home.

new: demeter 2013 scents.
|{yes, they even have a scent called riding crop}
since those days (now almost 12 years ago), the brand has expanded to included over 250 single note fragrances. the unique scents draw on everyday objects and experiences, like wet grass or fresh laundry. and the line continues to grow, they will be adding a new fragrance for each month in 2013. so far this year they've added:
- january - oud
- february - flowering tonka
- coming in march - vanilla cookie dough
for some reason it never occurred to me to layer the various single notes to create a complex signature scent. when i met the brand's ceo at their recent event he encouraged me to do just that. below are the notes of the personal scent combination he created for me.
|{a spritz of each and i'm out the door}
the entire line is available at duane reade look boutiques.

Each Wednesday from now until Christmas I will be blogging about a gift idea that can be made at home and I would love it if you would join in each week with your own contribution to "A Home Made Christmas".
I am sure that there are great projects to make, goodies to make, bake and bottle and ideas that you all have to share. I look forward to reading all about the things you make and being inspired by your ideas.
If you are worried about ruining the surprise feel free to post about something you have made in the past, something you saw or something you have received.
When planning home made gifts you need to consider a number of things:
How long the item will take to make? How far ahead do I need to plan?
How long will it keep? What is the shelf life?
Does it need time to mature like Christmas Cakes/Puddings?
Can I make more than one at a time and give them to a number of people?
This week I want to talk about giving your time and skills.
And so that you can hand something over on the day you can make up vouchers either on your computer or by hand. Staple a few together or pop them in an envelope and your gift is ready to go
So what will your voucher be for? Well think of what skills you have and the things your could do for your friends and family that would be of benefit to them.
Do something for someone who cannot do it themselves. Some examples are cleaning windows or the outside of the house for an elderly person. Clean out their gutters or offer to mow their lawn once a month for the coming year
For parents you can offer to babysit or have their kids stay over at your house for a weekend so their parents can have a holiday at home.
Share your skills.
If you are a good sewer offer up some of your time to give sewing lessons.
You could teach a teenager to cook a meal a month and send them off with the recipe so that when they move out in the future they have a few good meals up their sleeve.
If you have the patience you could offer to give driving lessons, or if you are mechanically minded teach someone to change a car tyre or the oil in their car.
Maybe you are a wizz on the computer. Do you know an older person who would like to learn some basic computer skills.
Do you have a farm with animals? You could collect up bags of animal manure to give to a keen gardener who would otherwise be buying manure for their garden. Offer to provide them with with a bag a month for the rest of the year.
Do you give a good massage or manicure?
For some people the gift of you time may be all they want perhaps you could offer too do share an experience that you do not really enjoy and would normally avoid (fishing/golf with your husband/son/brother). Just think how special it will make them feel to know that you are happy to put their likes before your own.
Think about what you are good at and who could benefit from your skills.
What other skills can you think of that would make good gifts to give?

If you just want to access my screenwriting CV go here.
A few years ago I re-balanced my career as an interactive graphic designer to include writing for the screen. I've also become something of a nomad since 2001 when I met my wife, left
London, and moved to . The last few years has seen us travelling, living and working as far afield as the Bavarian Alps, San Diego, Moscow, East Tibet, Amsterdam, Krakow, Ojai, Dublin, Shanghai, Beijing, Manchester (my home town), and Southern Germany, where I am currently working on my Scarfolk project. I spend my time living between Heidelberg and Manchester in the UK.
Los Angeles
For several years I worked with Major Films of
In addition to Scarfolk, I'm also in the process of outlining several personal writing projects. I have three feature length screenplays 'on the boil': one is the story of a family that is brought back together having been separated for thirty years and might be described as a cross between Hannah and her Sisters and The Hours; another is a Memento/Pi style mind-warp of a story about a man who takes an as yet untested memory drug; another is a character study of a violent criminal who realises that if he doesn't change his life he will never be released from prison. I also have several short stories 'ready to go', a couple of which might eventually prove to be novellas or novels. In addition, I have the proverbial drawer full of story ideas and characters waiting to be dealt with.
I started writing when I was a graphic designer living in
I still take on graphic design jobs if they interest me; for example, I was contracted by yU+co in Hollywood to help design a kiosk for MTR's Union Square project in Hong Kong. With gaming moving ever closer to film, and broadcast becoming increasingly interactive, I feel that interactive design and traditional story and narrative theory can produce new and interesting media forms.
Somewhere at the start of all this I joined, as a mere teenager, a band of merry filmmakers headed by director Mariano Baino. We went to Russia and the Ukraine to shoot a movie called Dark Waters. My role shifted frequently though I was finally credited as co-editor, script supervisor and production co-ordinator. What we endured has become legendary in some circles and 'the making of…' deserves to be a film in its own right. If you want to learn more you can treat yourself to No-Shame's wonderful collector's boxed set wherein not only will you find a director approved transfer of the movie itself, but you will also get to see snippets of yours truly interviewed in a special features documentary.

What WMT says
Chamonix in winter is a fantastic setting in which to bring together WMT's expert resources for a five day course to explore the rich and varied field of expedition and wilderness medicine and global health. Now in its 17th year, this is WMT's most popular Medics' event that is packed with inspiration, practical advice on how to join an expedition and expert medical training. We have an expert team who'll share their expertise with great passion, be it in the fields of mountain or jungle medicine, extreme expedition adventures, remote clinical and humanitarian work, mountain rescue or research. Four out of five days begin mid afternoon for indoor practical sessions, lectures and case study discussions. A half day is spent outside practicing medicine in the cold and learning useful field skills like using a rope on steep ground and GPS. Each day has 4-5 hours course time which leaves the best part of the day free for snowsport activities. Every day concludes with a special "insight" talk. As far as learning from experts, career destabilising inspiration and snow time in the Alps, attending this course is a no-brainer in terms of being a great choice! Organisations that "employ" expedition medics increasingly expect candidates to have done a course of this breadth and standard.
What students say
10/10. One of the best weeks of my life. FANTASTIC.
Absolutely superb.
Gripping & inspirational. 10/10
Exceeded expectations (which were high) by a mile.
Excellent [instructors} without exception.

All sessions delivered by such passionate, experienced individuals.
WMT has been absolutely inspirational!
Course content was excellent…
Amazing wealth of experience and stories…
All (instructors) were outstanding.
Interesting and inspiring week in a brilliant setting.
This has been a career, and possibly life changing course for me! Went beyond expectations.
Inspirational! Great course. Enjoyed the structure, flow and content.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in expeditions/global health or who needs some career direction.
10 great reasons to attend!

Read what Dr Isobel Wilson Jan '17 delegate said
"Just wanted to say a massive, massive thank you for such a fun, informative and inspirational week! I have come away with a much clearer idea of what I want to do over the next few years and am much more excited about life in general! The lectures were great – short enough that you could concentrate throughout them but long enough that some key points were taken away. The handbook will be a brilliant reference in the future as well."
Who's invited?
Doctors of all grades, nurses, OHPs, medical students and anyone else with an interest in expedition and wilderness medicine are welcome to attend. No prior expedition or ski experience is required. Naturally many people come to this course to combine snow sports with the educational opportunity. Delegates range from experienced expedition medics who attend to ensure their knowledge is up to date and to get formal training under their belt, to younger medics who are fascinated and curious about this field of medicine and are exploring alternative career paths. This is our most well attended Medic's course due to the stunning location, diverse faculty, rich programme and snow sport fun in your free time. (For our ski based course see Mountain Medicine on Skis.) We are proud that our faculty and delegate mix reflects a diversity of healthcare professionals and is inter-disciplinary.
Course fees
The tuition only course fee is £495. Remember to budget for flights, food/accommodation, ski passes and such. We provide heaps of related advice when you book. DON'T book if you don't have leave approved as all payments are subject to terms and conditions and deposit payments are not refundable.
Call for abstracts – new in 2019
The abstracts will focus on recent research, interesting case studies or expeditions in the role of medic covering the entire spectrum of wilderness medicine. Accepted abstracts will be presented as posters at the meeting with a selection chosen for oral presentations. The best oral presentation will receive an award. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the principal author after 1 Dec 2018. Abstracts will be scored by a panel of the conference faculty using a validated scoring system from RCEM.

Insight Lectures
The very personal insight lectures at the end of each day are a real highlight for many delegates so it's worth saying more about them. Firstly, they are always accompanied by first-class images and often other media. Secondly, it is the highly personal, often intimate, nature of these presentations that delegates love. You will be laughing, and crying, as our team tell you about their exploits, hardships, successes and failures in the jungles, high on Everest, conducting life-changing eye operations in the Kenyan bush or running the Marathon du Sable. Often heart warming, inspirational, humbling, humble, honest, revealing, frank, frightening and occasionally cringeworthy, it's no surprise these talks are so highly rated. We don't promise all of these talks on a single course but we'll have 5 such talks on the winter Chamonix course.
CPD & MSc accreditation
We estimate that this programme is valid for approximately 17.5 CPD hours. This course counts towards the University of Plymouth's MSc in Global and Remote Healthcare. See this page for details.

Comic Books Have Always Been Gay
As Slate noted earlier this week, both DC and Marvel comics, the two major superhero publishers, have announced new storylines featuring gay content. DC has revealed that Green Lantern Alan Scott will be reintroduced as gay in a comic coming out next week. Marvel's going even gayer than that, and giving the uncloseted-since-1992 Northstar a same-sex wedding.
According to the companies, and of course, conservative groups, this is a significant step — forward or backward, depending on your politics. But the truth is, comic books have been gay from the genre's inception. Here for example:
Or here:
These panels are from Wonder Woman comics released in 1942, the first year of her publication. They're written by William Marston and illustrated by the gloriously named Harry Peter. And they feature Wonder Woman's sorority girl sidekick, Etta Candy.
No doubt all of you looking at those images can spot what's gay. But there's also no doubt that many of you probably think that the sexual innuendo is unintentional.
The more you learn about Marston, though, the clearer it becomes that there is no lesbian content — or, indeed, sexual content — of which he was unaware. Marston had an unusually checkered background. Before writing Wonder Woman, he had penned a racy novel called The Private Life of Julius Caesar which included explicit references to female-female relationships. In one brief but notable scene, our hero Caesar watches "Lesbian dancing girls abandon themselves in an orgy of rhythmic ecstasy."
Marston was mostly known, though, not as a soft-core writer, but as a professional psychologist. He made significant contributions to early lie detector technology and did audience research for movie studios. He also investigated sorority initiation rituals. In his scholarly treatise The Emotions of Normal People, Marston describes his — of course, strictly professional — observations of sorority "baby parties," in which freshman girls dressed as infants were captured and chastised by their older classmates. Marston reported that the girls all experienced what he referred to as pleasurable "captivation emotion." He concluded (italics adamantly his) that "captivation emotion is not limited to inter-sex relationships."
Marston's assistant in his sorority observations was a woman named Olive Byrne. After their research together, she moved in with him … and with his wife, Elizabeth. Marston had children by both women. After his death in 1947, Elizabeth and Olive lived together for another three decades, until Olive passed away in the 1980s. There's every reason to believe, then, that Marston was intimately acquainted with queer women.
Certainly Wonder Woman reads like the work of someone who is comfortable with the sexual spectrum. The lesbian subtext-that-isn't-even-sub is in many ways the least of it. In one of Wonder Woman's first appearances, she battles the evil Dr. Poison, a malevolent green-garbed scientist with terrifying teeth and a giant syringe. Finally she defeats him … and we discover that he isn't a he at all. Instead, she's a sexy female Japanese spy — who, inevitably, meets her just deserts at the business end of sorority leader Etta Candy's fearsome paddle.
Nor is Poison the only cross-dresser; Wonder Woman is constantly running into men who are actually women. Occasionally she even encounters women who are actually men, as when the evil psychologist Dr. Psycho, master of transformation, takes the form of Wonder Woman herself. Psycho also masquerades as … well, see for yourself.
And then, of course, there's the bondage. Frederic Wertham, the author of the infamously censorious anti-comics screed, The Seduction of the Innocent, condemned Wonder Woman in no uncertain terms for its female-female tying up and mutual rescuing. This, Wertham insisted, was perversion — to which one can only say, "well, duh." In an interview for Family Circle conducted by none other than Olive Byrne, Marston fulfilled all of Wertham's worst fears. He cheerfully explained that Wonder Woman's magic lasso of control (not a lasso of truth in Marston's run) was "a symbol of female charm, allure, oomph, attraction," of the power that "every woman has … over people of both sexes. …" (My italics this time.)
Just as Wertham suspected, tying people up in Wonder Woman is a metaphor for sexual "oomph" — and by that definition there is lots and lots and lots of oomph in these comics. Ropes, chains, nets, magic girdles of submission, puppy play, and more, lovingly depicted on every page, if not every panel. (Choosing the most spectacular example is difficult — but I'm awfully fond of the sequence where Wonder Woman is tied up and dropped in a tank of water wearing a gimp mask, from which she has to free herself with her teeth.) And then there's the game on Wonder Woman's all-female Amazon home of Paradise Island in which the Amazons dress up as deer and hunters, capture each other … and then eat each other. As one of the captured Amazons says, "You make my mouth water. How about feeding me to myself?"
Marston's comics are even more startling when you consider the audience he was writing for. Today comic books are aimed mostly at 20-40 year old guys. Marston, on the other hand, was writing for pre-adolescents of both sexes. His 70-year-old series of kids' stories is exponentially kinkier and queerer than the bright shiny new gay initiatives that Marvel and DC have wheeled out for the press. Forget Green Lantern; if DC had an iota of spine, they'd let Wonder Woman out of the closet. Or back out of the closet, I should say.

It ain't easy picking Greene. Hondo went belly up with Shane and the Bombers, who couldn't catch, throw or solve a pitcher with a 10-plus ERA on Monday night. As a result, the deficit soared to 1,480 woodeshicks.
Tuesday night: In Hondo's eagerness to make an anti-Wainwright investment, he prematurely picked the Rays in Monday's Post (then foolishly pivoted to a Yankee play online during the day). However, now it's on for real — 10 units on the Rays over the Cards.
DVR alert: Coming Thursday at 7 p.m. Esquire TV will be airing "The Best of the Running of the Bulls 2014" — a surefire ratings grabber. After all, who doesn't want watch a solid hour of rampaging bulls turning running revelers into blood-spouting lumps of flesh? They really should change the name of that event to "The Goring of the Idiots."
Rangers' pitcher Colby Lewis complained the Jays' Colby Rasmus engaged in unethical baseball behavior by laying down a bunt to the left side to beat the Texas shift, which makes Lewis the prohibitive favorite to be named Whiner Of The Week.
Tiger Woods says Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson should pick him for the team. No doubt the Europeans are in complete agreement with Tiger.

There's never a dull moment on boats, and yet there are a lot of peaceful and thoughtful moments, too. All this is well-known to experienced boaters — but what about people who have never experienced all that satisfaction alfoat?
The folks who promote the pastime at Discover Boating have produced a series of videos highlighting the many great things that boating has to offer, and they couldn't ask for a better spokesman than country singer Jake Owen. He grew up on boats, and boating is a big part of his life today. He fishes, he wake surfs, he rafts up with friends. And he listens to his own music when he's making a new album: "I want to know what my music sounds like coming through boat speakers, just to know if it's the kind of song that should make the record."
Jake Owen's video is only one of Discover Boating's Stories of Discovery. But it's a mighty nice one. Have a look — and a listen.
