Who says it is a virus? This isn't Resident Evil. It could be unknown like Dawn of the Dead even paranormal.
But I want it to be a virus, just saying don't assume yet. We have a LOOONG ways to go to figure this one out.

I'm right there with you Tiger II on the world situation.
I'm going to speculate a little about the current state of the world so bear with me.
1) Earlier on we saw a scene where the US president is considering launching nukes to quell the zombie infestation, he has been bitten, as has his wife, and zombies are aboard air force one gradually pushing back the Secret Service.
Apparently Washington D.C. is not secure because they felt the need to pull the pres. out, but what is even more telling is the thought that they are considering nuclear assaults not only on the zombies but on other countries that also have nukes! You don't do that if you fear a reprisal against your own populace, unless of course you no longer have one.
Why were there zombies on air force one? Was the situation so critical that the various military bases (there is an entire Marine Division based near D.C., Langley AFB, the National Guard and the Secret Service itself, which has thousands of members, hundreds of which act as direct guards of the president and Congress. How bad is the situation that zombies managed to get through that many layers of protection to harm the president himself?
In Summary: I think the entire D.C. area has fallen with the exceptions of the Marine Base, Langley AFB, and the police dept. I can only expect this to also be the case in every major city in the US, and probably every major city in the world.
2) Manner of dispersal of the virus/contagion that is the cause of this incident:
a) The virus was initially manufactured by some organization in an areosal(sp?) form but only in sufficient quantities to place in a few major population points (ex. Times Square, NYC) per city and then triggered to release at a certain time simultaneously world-wide. This would bring into question the survivability of the virus in environments that vary in temperature, humidity, air flow, etc.
Would also bring up the question has why the supply manufactured was limited, i.e. was it a complex process, does it only have a limited shelf life, was it to expensive, or was there fear within the group planning this that they may be discovered, causing them to act sooner than expected?
b) Some kind of supernatural occurrence brought on by a supernatural phenomena or by a group manipulating energies thus far unmentioned in the story to trigger this event.
c) Some kind of natural phenomena that was released by an earthquake, volcanic explosion, erosion which effected the drinking water or effected the body in some unknown manner which some could resist in small doses, while those with weaker immune systems succumbed to the contagion/phonemnon. Or this phenomena was discovered by and researched by a group of individuals who decided to implement it for some undetermined goal.
d) The virus is alien in nature (i.e. not of earth) and was brought to earth by our own explorers (i.e. expedition to Mars recovers an artifact, sample, just plain rock dust) and was distributed amongst the international community for study eventually leading to some kind of containment mishandling incident which triggered the crisis the world faces now.
The virus is alien in nature and was directed upon humanity by an alien intelligence which deemed it useful/profitable in some way or form to disrupt life on earth or it was an initially benign attempt to reach out to humanity which went drastically wrong (i.e. sort of like the Native Americans catching smallpox from European explorers and losing 90% of their population rapidly).
e) some manner or form not mentioned thus far.
The world as a whole:
Well if Japan, China, Russia, and the US are desperate and willing to launch nukes then it is quite likely that most of the world is in a very desperate state. It is interesting to note that the US did not consider India, Bangledesh (sp), Pakistan, basically southeast Asia as targets, seeing as they too have high population densities that are vulnerable to infection like China.
Perhaps those countries are in better state, or more likely they are lower on the super-powers priority list.
Europe is unique, in that, with its considerable military resources and effective police forces it might be able to eventually manage the situation, on the other hand, it is a continent that is crammed with people.
End speculation.
Man, I can't wait for chapter 17 to come out!

well with current party size and story setting, I would have to say at least 1 person would have to give way.
Unless something like 2-3 persons are introduced within the next say 5-8 chapters then then kill them off later, the core group could survive.
For me I'm still thinking "ah gotta kill off a few peeps just for some interesting story" but then on the other hand I think "ah lets have everyone survive as that rarely or infact never happens in a zombie fest"
but for now I content with Kohta(went to find out his name) and Saeko to live on....oh and Alice, can't have our fair innocent loli taken away from us

Or they could pulll a Dawn of the Dead no one survives.
But I know what you are saying. There is a cliche that says all the good guys can't survive, yet there is also a cliche in horror stories that says some HAVE to die...so it is a double sided scenario, lol.

I speculate that this time next year or 2010, we'll have an anime adaptation. I won't say that it's the best, but if the author continues on his tangent, we will have a winner on our hands.

Well this series has been an extremely pleasant surprise...I didn't even know it existed until I saw a wallpaper derived from one of the color spreads.
All in all...Its stupid...Its cliche...Its ecchi...and for all those reasons I find it extremely good fun heh. Ofcourse I'm also a big lover of zombie stories so that probably helps things.
As for the latest episodes...I'm with kira...Saeko is just absolute . But I'm quite fond of all the characters really, which is kinda sad considering in this genre atleast some or all of them are bound to wind up dead in the end...

Pagan, (died 1880, Mandalay, Burma [Myanmar]), king of Myanmar (1846–53), who suffered defeat in the Second Anglo-Burmese War, after which Yangon (Rangoon), the province of Pegu, and other areas in southern Myanmar were annexed by the British and became what was called Lower Burma.
Pagan deposed his father, the insane king Tharrawaddy, in 1846. Although Pagan acted with tact and restraint during the crisis preceding the war, part of his undoing was the aggressive policy of Lord Dalhousie, the governor-general of India, who declared that "of all the Eastern nations with which the Government of India has had to do, the Burmese were the most arrogant and overbearing."
In 1851 Pagan's governor in Yangon, Maung Ok, charged the captains of two British merchant ships with murder, embezzlement, and evading customs fees. They were forced to pay several hundred rupees before being allowed to return to Calcutta, where they demanded compensation from the Myanmar government. Dalhousie sent an emissary with a letter to the king requesting compensation that amounted to £920 and the dismissal of Maung Ok. Pagan agreed to replace Maung Ok, but the emissary's lack of tact and violation of his instructions made it impossible for the new governor to deal with him. On January 6, 1852, the British were evacuated and the harbour blockaded. Three days later British warships began firing on the city.
On February 7, 1852, Pagan wrote Dalhousie, protesting the acts of aggression in Yangon and expressing hope that the governor-general would repudiate them. A few days before, the governor of Yangon had offered to pay the compensation for the two ship captains. On February 13, however, Dalhousie sent an ultimatum to the king, demanding an indemnity equivalent to £100,000. Pagan did not answer the ultimatum, which expired on April 1, and a few days later British troops entered Myanmar territory. Yangon was taken and, by December 1852, Lower Burma was occupied. On February 18, 1853, Pagan was deposed by his brother, Mindon, who favoured reconciliation with the British.

Harry Hamlin wasn't supposed to touch the food on the table during the conference scenes on "L.A. Law," NBC's Emmy Award-winning 1986-94 legal series.
The sandwiches were strictly props. But Hamlin, who played attorney Michael Kuzak, the serious-minded youngest partner in the City of Angels' firm McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak, had other ideas.
"If you go back and watch the pilot as the very first conference room scene ends, I reach over and pull a sandwich toward me," recalls Hamlin, who plays an ad executive on AMC's "Mad Men." The move was unexpected
"I picked it up as they were shooting my last bit. I had my mouth full of food. We shot another conference room scene, and there was a plate of croissants. I thought, 'I will make this a "thing."' If you look go back and look, I will be eating in every conference room scene. It became a running gag with the prop department."
Nearly 30 years after he read the pilot, Hamlin maintains the script "remains one of the most brilliant two hours of TV. I never read anything quite as a good as that."
In September 1986, then-L.A. Times TV critic Howard Rosenberg was also laudatory in his praise of the pilot. "There should be a law requiring more series like NBC's new 'L.A. Law,'" he wrote.
The ensemble series, which seamlessly blended current events, stark drama, soap opera and outrageous comedy, was created by Steven Bochco, who co-created the groundbreaking ensemble police drama "Hill Street Blues," and Terry Louise Fisher, a former L.A. County prosecutor and a producer on "Cagney & Lacey." David E. Kelley, who went on to create his own legal series, "The Practice" and "Boston Legal," was a writer and eventually became an executive producer. On Tuesday, Shout! Factory is releasing the first season on DVD.
Besides Hamlin, the series also starred Corbin Bernsen as the handsome, vain divorce attorney, Arnie Becker; Susan Dey as deputy D.A. and Kuzak's love interest, Grace Van Owen; Richard Dysart as the level-headed senior partner, Leland McKenzie; Alan Rachins as the obnoxious money-minded partner, Douglas Brackman Jr.; Jimmy Smits as the firm's passionate Latino attorney, Victor Sifuentes; and Susan Ruttan as Roxanne, Arnie's motherly secretary.
Real married couple Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker's characters of idealistic attorney Ann Kelsey and sweetly nebbish tax attorney Stuart Markowitz turned a lot of heads in an episode in which he tells her about a sexual technique mysteriously called "The Venus Butterfly."
Though Bernsen, currently a regular on USA's "Psych," became an overnight sensation as the womanizing divorce attorney, he admitted that he couldn't get into the mind-set of Arnie during his first audition in New York with Bochco, Fisher and co-executive producer-director Gregory Hoblit.
Still, said Bernsen, Bochco told him that "if you ever come out to L.A., we'll do something with you. So give us a call. I got in my Jeep the next day and drove across country."
He got insight into what made Arnie run, quite literally running on Mulholland Drive one day. "I saw this girl in this white Jeep with her blond hair flying behind her. I kind of remember her turning her head in slow motion looking at me running along."
It was exactly what would have happened to Arnie. "I called my manager and said get me back to Steven Bochco, I know the character," said Bernsen, who is trying to bring Arnie back in his own TV series. "I went in the next day and essentially the day after I got the job."
Smits' first audition was with some NBC executives in New York. "It went horrendous," said Smits, currently on FX's' "Sons of Anarchy." Then a friend of his from graduate school who had come to L.A. encouraged Smits to fly out here and try to arrange a meeting with Bochco.
When he met with the show's casting director, "I was very prepared. She said, 'You have got to meet Steven and Greg. Steven has all of this sports memorabilia in his office.' I remember walking into his office and Steven had this bat. He was swinging his bat, and I said to myself, 'If you mess up on this one, you know what's going to happen.' It went well, thank God."
Over the years, Latino attorneys and politicians have told Smits they went to law school because they were inspired by his character. "That can be the strength of the small screen," Smits said.
Reactions to Rachins' Brackman were a bit different. Fans weren't shy tell him how much they hated his character. "I'd say, 'Well, thank you,'" said Rachins, laughing.
Rachins, who is married to Bochco's sister, actress Joanna Frank, loved that his brother-in-law and the writers gave Brackman "a wonderful series of extracurricular activities," including affairs with a sex therapist, his father's ex-mistress and a young woman who was his trainer.
"There were a number of women I got to become involved with," said Rachins, who later starred on the series "Dharma & Greg." Why? "He was so buttoned up, he had to have some outlets," Rachins speculated.
Ruttan recalled the immediate effect of the series on her life. The day after the series premiered on Oct. 3, 1986, she went to lunch with a friend and noticed that people were looking at her when she walked through the restaurant.
"It was like at that moment, you kind of feel your world shift," she reflected. "It was incredible because people loved my character. People automatically liked me."
Bochco wrote the parts of Ann and Stuart for Eikenberry and Tucker. But the couple nearly didn't do the series after shooting the pilot because Eikenberry discovered after it wrapped that she had breast cancer. "When I got the diagnosis, Mike called him and said we can't do the show because Jill has cancer," Eikenberry said.
Though she didn't have to have chemotherapy, Eikenberry did have to undergo radiation treatments. Bochco made sure she could continue on the show, working it out so she could leave the set at 5 p.m and go to UCLA for her treatments. Two years later, Eikenberry revealed publically that she had had breast cancer.
"People were no longer afraid to go public," said Tucker to his wife. "You really led the way with that."

Ready for a Brand New Beat: How "Dancing in the Street" Became the Anthem for a Changing America
Publisher: Riverhead Books
The Beatles had landed in the U.S. in early 1964. By the summer, the sixties were in full swing. The summer of 1964 was the Mississippi Freedom Summer, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, the beginning of the Vietnam War, the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and the lead-up to a dramatic election. As the country grew more radicalized in those few months, "Dancing in the Street" gained currency as an activist anthem. The song took on new meanings, multiple meanings, for many different groups that were all changing as the country changed.
Told by the writer who is legendary for finding the big story in unlikely places, Ready for a Brand New Beat chronicles that extraordinary summer of 1964 and showcases the momentous role that a simple song about dancing played in history.

A Chinese Army to Control the Weather
The small army influences the weather for more reasons than just to alleviate drought. Everything from firefighting to having the perfect conditions for the Olympics are now being influenced by Chinese efforts.
An interesting question for the future is concerns the "right" of countries to make it rain. The moisture that is being prematurely forced into rain could have become rain for South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc. A whole slew of problems from water access to denying rain for political purposes to others are just some potential things which may lie in the future.

I recently spent a year on the Tibetan-Qinghai plateau, right below the source of the Yangtze. The area where I was had long been robbed of all its trees (the few that could grow at that elevation) and has suffered terrible erosion problems since. Now, to raise water levels on the Yangtze (for the 400m+ who get their water from it, from Sichuan to Shanghai), the government is building an airfield next to a Tibetan burial ground for a town previously only accessible by dirt road (a 24 hour road, at that). From this airfield planes will fly to seed the clouds to increase snow and rain over the town. While China's water problems are impossible to ignore, this solution is going to wreak havoc on the culture and climate of a town that is already going through more than they can deal with --- but my Tibetan friends there took it all with their typically bemused and long-sighted perspective. I admire them, and I have to admire the sheer audacity of most of China's solutions, but this culture of raping the land to serve the state's ends can't go on much longer. From Mao to now, and the thousands of years before, how much more can the land take?

RALEIGH � The family of an inmate who died of a drug overdose in the Wake County jail two years ago has sued the sheriff.
The family of Ralph Madison Stockton IV, 19, has sued Sheriff Donnie Harrison, Wake County and 16 county employees, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported. (http://bit.ly/1c0KdUv).
The lawsuit says the sheriff and his employees failed to take steps that might have prevented Stockton's death.
�Defendants had more than sufficient knowledge of the likely cause of Ralph's medical condition and had immediate access to the medical assistance required, yet they acted with deliberate indifference to and in blatant disregard for Ralph's safety,� according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which seeks compensatory and punitive damages, says Stockton showed signs he was on drugs but was not properly monitored before he was found dead.
Sheriff's Capt. Jimmy Stevens said the department would have no comment with the lawsuit pending. The department has previously said that deputies and jail staff did not contribute to Stockton's death.
Stockton had been arrested after a convenience store clerk said Stockton and a friend appeared to be too impaired to drive.

Department of Revenue News Release
September 01, 2011Oct. 5 is Deadline to Submit Proposals to Manage Downtown Kansas City License Office
JEFFERSON CITY - Interested groups or individuals will have until Oct. 5 to bid to operate the Downtown Kansas City License Office.
The Office of Administration yesterday issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) asking for bids to manage the license office. The ability for people or groups to bid to run local license offices is part of Gov. Jay Nixon's reformed competitive process that requires the Missouri Department of Revenue to choose office agents that present the best proposals for customer service and financial efficiency.
The State of Missouri determined that the space required in the current contract for the license office in the Fletcher Daniels State Office Building was excessive, and bidders for the new contract will not be required to use all of the current square footage.
The new RFP notes a preference for the license office to stay in the Daniels Building, which is located at 615 E. 13th St., Suite 111. Bidders, however, can also propose a new office location that is in a specified area of downtown Kansas City. The proposed office must be in an area that is bordered by the Missouri River to the north, to 31st Street in the south, and from the Missouri-Kansas state line east to Troost Avenue.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, noted the need for a central license office location in Kansas City.
"While the state prefers to use the existing state office building space, we are also open to the possibility that another acceptable location could be proposed for downtown," she said.
Barragán-Scott also explained how the bidding process works.
"People or groups interested in managing the license office will have until Oct. 5 to respond to the Office of Administration with a bid," she said. "All of the bids are then evaluated by a review team at the Department of Revenue, and the proposal that scores best in the areas of customer service, business experience, office location and other criteria is the one that is chosen."
During Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011), the Kansas City License Office conducted 98,955 transactions and generated $350,804 in agent processing fees. The current agent is the Downtown Council of Kansas City.
Common transactions that take place at local license offices include renewing or applying for a driver license, renewing or applying for registration on motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors, and applying for titles and paying sales taxes on these units.
A copy of the RFP that bidders will use to develop their bids can be viewed at https://www.moolb.mo.gov/. To review an RFP, select "Guest" on the home page, click on "Open Bids By Agency," then scroll through the list of bids until the appropriate bid is located. (The bid number for the Kansas City office is B3Z12035.) Additional information regarding the bidding process can be obtained at http://oa.mo.gov/purch/vendorinfo/DORoffices.pdf or by calling the Office of Administration at (573) 751-2387.

Gas prices fall again in Maine
State average $3.62 per gallon
PORTLAND, Maine —
Gas prices in Maine have fallen 5.5 cents per gallon in the past week.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that gas in Maine is now averaging $3.62 a gallon.
Prices in Maine are 31.2 cents lower than a year ago and are a penny lower than the national average, which dropped 7.3 cents per gallon during the last month.
Senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan says he expects prices to continue falling and to be 20 or more cents per gallon lower by Thanksgiving.
The Maine price is based on a survey of more than 1,200 gas stations.

Trouble with intracellular cytokine staining

Have you used any permeabilization solution? Intracellular staining need it to make a 'hole' for antibody go to the intracell cytokine.
I have been trying to do T helper differentiation and to stain for intracellular cytokines. I think the differentiation works fine since I can see loads of cytokines by ELISA but I can never see anything if I stain the cells and do FACS. I used the staining kit from BD and antibodies from R&D and eBioscience. I usually restimulate the cells with PMA+ ionomycin. I have tried both golgiplug and brefeldin A. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

European shares closed mixed on Thursday, as political uncertainty in Italy weighed against positive U.S. data, which ended five days of losses on Wall Street.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 Index closed flat at 1.256.63 points, with the Italian FTSE MIB Index posting the biggest losses, closing provisionally down 1.2 percent. The FTSE 100 and the German DAX both closed down 0.1 percent.
Media reports on Thursday said that President Napolitano had cancelled a conference appearance to deal with a "disturbing" political development. This comes a day after center-right leader Silvio Berlusconi urged his political allies to walk out from parliament.
(Read More: Italy crisis increases as president pulls out of meeting)
Meanwhile, stocks in the U.S. gained following five days of losses, as investors digested the latest batch of economic news and developments in Washington.
The U.S. government left its estimate for economic growth in the second quarter unchanged at 2.5 percent, according to the Commerce Department, while weekly jobless claims fell 5,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 305,000.
Meanwhile, Congress still needs to pass a short-term spending bill before October 1 to keep the government funded; otherwise it risks a government shutdown. On Wednesday, the Obama administration warned Congress that the Treasury was quickly running out of funds to pay government bills.
In addition, Congress must raise the federal borrowing limit to avoid a debt default by October 17. In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said that the world's largest economy could run out of cash by that date if the borrowing limit isn't increased.
Republican leaders in the House of Representatives notified members that a vote on raising the debt limit could come as early as Friday.
Back in Europe, France released a consumer confidence survey for September that met expectations. The survey came after the country unveiled its 2014 budget, which included sharp government spending cuts and tax rises that will hit households and consumers hardest, potentially damaging the country's economic recovery.
In the U.K. the final reading for second quarter growth came in unchanged at 0.7 percent. However, a worse-than-expected current account deficit sent sterling lower against the dollar.
In stocks news, shares in Hennes & Mauritz surged by 6.74 percent after the clothing retailer released forecast beating earnings on Thursday highlighting strong summer sales. Retail stocks in general were the standout gainers in trade on Thursday, closing around 0.75 percent higher.
Shares of France's Alcatel-Lucent rose by 6.28 percent after media reports of a potential tie-up with Nokia. Nokia declined to comment when contacted by CNBC.
Shares of Danish energy firm Vestas climbed by 7.86 percent after it announced a large order for a project in the U.S.
Shares of travel firm Tui Travel were higher by 3.9 percent after it revised its operating profit higher on Thursday.
Shares of U.K. bookmaker Ladbrokes sank by 7.6 percent after reporting that profits in its digital division were below expectations.
Thomas Cook posted disappointing summer numbers and said the winter-booking season had already gotten off to a slow start. The group posted a stock market decline of 6.6 percent.

Alumni Prep Top Ten Students for Wabashby Howard Hewitt • February 20, 2012 Share:
Chris Cotterill '99 told visiting Top Ten Students Monday morning that attending Wabash is not about finding a career. Attending Wabash, he said, was about finding opportunity.
Cotterill, Chief of Staff to Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, was the morning's keynote speaker. He followed welcomes by Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Steve Klein and President Patrick White. All of the students are in the Top 10 of their high school classes. The students and parents heard from college administrators, faculty, and alumni about Wabash College.
"Today is about investing in yourself. If you're here thinking about a job, I'd encourage you to look in that direction," Cotterill said. "Wabash is far, far more than just a place you'll attend for four years of your life."
The former student body president and Bachelor editor went on to say that he doesn't define himself by his job and hopes the students never do as well.
"I point to my time at Wabash as the experience that changed my life forever," he said. "My case to you today is it's not just likely you'll have a successful career if you come to Wabash, but it's almost guaranteed.
"Life is not determined by the right answer to a multiple choice question."
Cotterill then talked about his relationships with faculty, staff, and alums as the hallmark of his Wabash experience. He spoke extensively about the Wabash alumni network.
"Nothing will be given to you or be easy for you," he assured the young men. "But if you work hard, and you're enthusiastic the Wabash network will open up for you."
He wanted the students to know they weren't just hearing from a select group of alumni during their visit day. He challenged them to seek out other Wabash men in their community and see how the College changed their lives.
The alumni panels are always popular with younger alums returning to address the reach of the College network, academic rigor, classroom size, relationships, and the environment of an all-male classroom.
The students took tours, met with coaches, and learned about study abroad and immersion learning, then had an academic session in the afternoon to become acquainted with the Wabash classroom experience.

Medication Alerts in EMRs Are Especially Prone to Creating "Alert Fatigue"
Anne Zieger is veteran healthcare consultant and analyst with 20 years of industry experience. Zieger formerly served as editor-in-chief of FierceHealthcare.com and her commentaries have appeared in dozens of international business publications, including Forbes, Business Week and Information Week. She has also contributed content to hundreds of healthcare and health IT organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. Contact her at @ziegerhealth on Twitter or visit her site at Zieger Healthcare.
New research is drawing to attention to a critical subset of "alert fatigue," a problem which has dogged medical devices since well before EMRs/EHRs rolled into the picture. The research, which appears in this month's issue of the International Journal of Medical Informatics, finds that providers are becoming particularly numb to the high volume of EMR-based medication alerts they get.
To draw this conclusion, researchers followed 30 doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists as they treated 146 patients in outpatient settings run by the Indianapolis VA center. The study took place from August 2008 to August 2009.
After watching providers for a year, researchers came up with several different features characteristic of a poorly designed alert:
* The system generates too many alerts
* The alert provides far more information than the clinician needs
* The system produces alerts that appear to go against standard clinical practice
* The alert doesn't apply to the patient
* The alert isn't needed (such as a warning about a drug a patient has already received and responded to safely)
Another failing found by researchers — which seems particularly acute in my opinion — is that alerts are typically designed to meet the needs and training of pharmacists, even though physicians and nurse practitioners were doing the prescribing.
Yet another issue that stood out was timing. On the one hand, alerts often interrupted the prescribing process, and wouldn't go away until addressed. Meanwhile, other alerts disappeared once addressed, and couldn't be retrieved once they've left the screen.
As most readers know, I'm not a clinician, so I'm just reacting to the research data, but the situation sounds pretty dire. If an EMR is guilty of half of these medication alert "sins," much less all of them, I'd bet it increases the potential for patient harm significantly.
Maybe this is a good place to start addressing the kind of potentially harmful design flaws identified by NIST. After all, virtually every patient takes meds, and most every clinician touches them. Why not address some of these nagging problems before someone gets hurt?

Here we go again.
The debate about whether the hype surrounding Danica Patrick outweighs her skill as a race-car driver has lingered in the background ever since she reached racing's big leagues several years ago.
Yet as Patrick, 32, muddles through her first full season in NASCAR's premier Sprint Cup Series, the argument has jumped to the fore yet again.
Kyle Petty -- son of NASCAR legend Richard Petty, himself a driver for 30 years and now a NASCAR television analyst -- rekindled matters Thursday by saying Patrick was "not a race-car driver."
"I don't have a problem with her being a marketing machine," Petty said, referring to Patrick's deft ability to market her looks and her role as the only female in the Cup series. "She can go fast, but she can't race."
Petty, 53, promptly was supported by some folks on websites and social media and slammed by others because of his own record: Eight Cup wins in 829 starts.
But Petty acknowledged he "was not a great driver." Besides, it's his job to analyze the sport and his comments about Patrick seem buttressed by Patrick's record.
She won one race in seven years in the IndyCar series. After switching to NASCAR, she had zero wins and one top-five finish in 60 starts in NASCAR's second-tier Nationwide Series.
This year she's still struggling. Her best finish in 16 Cup races so far was an eighth in the Daytona 500, where she started on the pole, the first woman to do so.
That's been her only top-10 finish this year and overall her average finish is 26th. She's 27th in the Cup point standings.
NASCAR superstars Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. came to her defense, effectively saying that learning to race 3,400-pound stock cars on different styles of tracks takes time.
And Patrick herself said "I really don't care" what Petty said.
"It's true that there are plenty of people who say really bad things about me," she told reporters Friday at Kentucky Speedway, site of the next Cup race Saturday night. "You just get over that kind of stuff."
Asked what she had to do silence her critics, Patrick replied, "You really think that I will silence naysayers? That is the answer, you don't."
She's right -- and in some ways it's irrelevant whether she ever does or doesn't. Her team and her corporate sponsors are glad to have her. So is NASCAR. Patrick has a lot of fans. She'll go on making millions of dollars a year regardless of whether she cracks the top 10 in points or even becomes the first woman to win a Cup race.
Make no mistake: Patrick is intensely competitive and wants to do well. She's quick to get frustrated if she doesn't.
Patrick came close to winning the Daytona 500, the sport's crown jewel. She was running third on the final lap until being passed and falling to eighth. And NASCAR returns to Daytona next weekend for its summer race there, so she'll get another shot.
But even if she wins, don't expect the racer-vs.-hype debate to subside. As Patrick said, "There are going to be people that believe in you and those that don't."

[MSU: Football win or basketball sweep?]
Surprisingly slow morning so I want to continue to bask in the glory of victory!
During the build up to the first meeting between Michigan and Sparty, 97.1 TheTicket was doing asking listeners if they would rather take the football win or a basketball sweep. I would lean towards the football win over the bball sweep.
That being said, in the wake of all the facebook, twitter, real life Spartan rationalizing about how they "rolled" us in EL and we only beat them by 1 point at home, find a Sparty fan who wouldn't take our record against them in the two major sports. Yes we squeaked out a comeback football win with no touchdowns at home, yes we were lucky to lose by ONLY 23 points in EL, and yes we squeaked out a 1 point win at home in bball, but a win in football and a split in bball is great for summer bragging rights. Hockey is a nice bonus LOLSparty.
Hopefully we get a chance to take the season series against Sparty, OSU, and/or Indiana... and punch Wisconsin in the mouth. Go Blue!
Mod edit: Changed the title to be more informative. Generally, ellipses at the end mean the title isn't great. JGB.

Godzilla Final Wars (UK - DVD R2)
This is the end, my only friends, the end of the giant Tokyo smashing beast known as Godzilla.
This review is sponsored by
It is the year 20XX. The terror named Godzilla has been frozen, and left in a slumberous state in Antarctica. His neutralization has led to the rise of the EDF (the Earth Defense Force), an elite team of monster fighters that utilize special training and technology to stop the rampaging giants that have plagued the earth for generations. A relative peace has been struck, and the world is a semi-safe place to live in.
Then all Hell breaks loose. Several dormant monsters all-out attack various world cities all at once, spreading the EDF warriors thin. When the situation looks its bleakest, the creatures inexplicably disappear, seemingly sucked into alien spacecrafts that arrived on earth in the nick of time. Humanity, in its appreciation, welcomes the aliens as its saviors, and disbands the United Nations to make way for a new Galactic Senate. But there are some members of the human race that suspect the extra terrestrial "Xilians" of foul play, their salvation of Earth appearing all too convenient. When Xilian's true plans are revealed, the Final War is initiated, and the earth is left with only one hope…Godzilla. Oh no!
Some movies have been compared to junk food. If Renny Harlin's manic opuses ( Deep Blue Sea, Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2: Die Harder) can be correlated with cheeseburgers, then Ryuhei Kitamura's masterpiece of the insane should be known as a Super-Sized value meal, ground into a fine paste, recooked, and injected into the viewer's femoral artery via the optical nerves. It's colourful, it requires no thought, has no nutritional value, may cause nausea, and could kill you in large doses – but man does it taste good.
Though the DVD contained no English subtitles or audio (with a few exceptions, mostly pertaining to a single English speaking character) I found it pretty easy to decipher the basic plot, which bears a striking resemblance to that of Star Wars, The Matrix, and most ironically, Independence Day (the irony being that the makers of that film went on to produce the much maligned American version of Godzilla back in 1998). Kitamura has never shied away from Matrix counterfeiting, but if the Wachowski Brothers hadn't adapted their masterpiece from so many sources already, I'm pretty sure they'd be inclined to contact their lawyers.
Despite (or perhaps in spite) of his wacky output, Kitamura was the deciding factor for me personally in whether or not I was even interested in Godzilla Final Wars. Thank the giant radioactive dinosaur that he came through for me. His specific brand of absurd, post- Evil Dead/Hard Boiled filmmaking has always made my day. His films are not high art, or by any means original, but they are the best junk food fun that modern cinema has to offer.
The bad news is, for the Big-G fans out there, that our hero doesn't make a real appearance until after the halfway point. When he finally does show his ugly mug, he is simply a weapon, as are all the other monsters (all fifteen of them). The human and human-looking Xilian characters are the leads, and the story theirs. Godzilla Final Wars is much more a Kitamura film than it is a Godzilla film, which is what made it special to me, but will ultimately turn off most fans. The good news is that the majority of the effects are of the man-in-suit variety, and the correlating digital effects are either used to up the action ante, or in their own sort of purposely rubber looking way. Unlike the '98 American version, which attempted photo-realistic digital effects, this film embraces its cheesy heritage. I am of the opinion that it is not necessarily the realness of effects, nor the medium they were created in, but the film that surrounds them that dictates their value. This is a case for sort of ropey visual effects.
Those afraid of the lack of subtitles can rest easy, as in addition to a simple plot; there is an English speaking character that often reiterates facts. Actor Don Frye (a pro wrestler in Japan) fits right in with the futuristic man-in-suit utopia where everyone speaks their own language, even if they are responded to in a foreign tongue. He also looks like he escaped from a Street Fighter II arcade console. The rest of the cast is mostly filled out by middle level Japanese B-stars. These include such recognizable Kitamura regulars Tak Sakaguchi ( Versus, Battlefield Baseball) and Kanae Uotani ( Sky High, Aragami) as Xilian foot solders, and the great Jun Kunimura ( Kill Bill, Ichi: The Killer) as a grizzled Japanese military general. However, it is former Crazy 88 member Kazuki Kitamura, who plays Planet X's insane leader that steals the show from even Godzilla himself. His flamboyant performance is analogous to that of Eddie Izzard with Kung Fu skills.
The icing on this particular cake was the use of the American Godzilla, who attacks Sydney, Australia. Referred to on the box art as "Zilla", but known to hardcore Godzillaphiles as "GINO" (Godzilla In Name Only), this creature is the one completely computer generated character in the film. He is also, if you excuse the overused Internet jargon, properly 'owned' by the real thing, who takes him out in a matter of seconds.
Unlike the cheaper, movie only release also available, this special edition utilizes a near perfect anamorphically enhanced, 2.35:1 transfer. There are a few instances of digital grain, and some of the darker scenes are a tad washed out, but otherwise I can't find any reason to comment negatively on this presentation. Certain cities during the film's opening assault are almost color coded, like the intersecting storylines in Stephen Soderbergh's drug-traffic chef d'oeuvre, Traffic. The saturation is pretty sharp, and during these sequences the black levels plunge into beautiful depths. The sharpness of the transfer does make the digital effects appear a touch videogame-like, but as I said in the review, for some reason it works for the film.
This Dolby Digital EX track is very aggressive. Effects are well separated, buildings explode with vigor, and monsters cry and fly over the audience's head with much abandon. The strange score, a mix of typical post- Matrix techno and power pop, is undermined by a few Keith Emerson (?!) written themes. The excruciating lameness of the music is, like the ropey effects and plot, surprisingly effective, lending cadence to the theory that Godzilla Final Wars is actually a thinly veiled spoof. Godzilla's reveal is accompanied by a thoroughly rousing roar that vibrates the room and scares the cat to pieces. This is the best non-R1 surround mix I've ever heard. After much deliberation and checking with my Japanese speaking roommate, I discovered the difference between the two audio tracks supplied on disc one are that one is the original track, and the other has all the dialogue dubbed into Japanese, including that of Don Frye.
If you are fluent in Japanese, this is the collector's edition for you. The copious special features are spread over all three discs, and offer a candid glimpse into the world and history of everyone's favourite Tokyo smashing behemoth. Unfortunately for me, I am not at all learned in the ways of any language but my own. Despite my handicap, I was still able to enjoy some of the features.
On the first disc, the only extras are an assortment of trailers and a 'jump to a monster' option. The trailers are all very similar, but like most Japanese ad campaigns offer up the release as an honest to God cultural event. This apparently didn't work, as the film was a bit of a flop in its native country. The 'jump to a monster' option is simply a variation on New Line Cinema's Nightmare on Elm Street 'jump to a nightmare' feature, which offers the option of skipping over such pesky nonessentials like plot. The icons are monster-coated for non-Japanese menu surfers.
Disc two covers the making of Final Wars itself from concept to completion. This includes more trailers, and other advertising featurettes. Two of these disguise themselves as actual documentaries, but turn into virtual 'how-to' lectures on the correct way to celebrate Godzilla's 50th anniversary. This involves buying all the past films on DVD before seeing Final Wars. And while they aren't being shy about hocking wares, the DVD producers throw in a little Godzilla inspired cell phone ad for good measure.
After watching the money making ballyhoo, I was treated to a 52-minute-long behind the scenes documentary. Made up of interview and rough assembly footage, it is comparable to pretty much every well-made making of I've ever seen. It covers set making, digital effects creation, fight choreography, photography methods, and monster direction. It is succeeded by a 27-minute interview with Kitamura, a brief chat with some bloke named Kyle Cooper (in English!), footage from Godzilla's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction, a short VFX workshop (pertaining entirely to Rodan's destruction of New York City), and a longer cut of a PBS style question and answer segment filmed for the movie. Last, but certainly not least, there are image galleries containing dozens of production sketches and storyboards.
Disc three pertains more strictly to Godzilla's past, in celebration of his 50th Birthday. The main feature is a documentary covering the entire story of the great lizard. I really wish it could have been in English, as it seems to be the best feature in the set, perhaps even better than the film itself. Aside from the doc, disc three also has its fair share of actor and producer interviews, a photo album, and a bizarre short history of Godzilla's ever changing head.
This is probably not the Godzilla film fans have been waiting for, but Godzilla Final Wars is still a regular laugh riot. This will be a fan dividing film, no doubt. It makes Godzilla a secondary character, brings about wonky digital effects, and includes cameos by such fan-despised characters as Minya: The Son of Godzilla. Fans of director Ryuhei Kitamura will likely have a good time, and fans of the blue laser spitting, green skinned giant may hate me for my recommendation.
You can buy this title for US $73.83 at CDJapan.

This was good but like Kitamura's other films, it's a little uneven. In general, it's definitely worth seeing in a theater (for the audience cheering and applauding and in general raisin the level of enjoyment immensely more than one might expectif anything else) but if you can't, the DVD is a good idea.

Controversy lingers as F1 heads to Bahrain
Formula One moves to Bahrain this weekend, with the Grand Prix in the tiny, resource-rich Gulf kingdom again taking place against a backdrop of long-running dissent and continued protest.india Updated: Apr 18, 2013 08:54 IST
Formula One moves to Bahrain this weekend, with the Grand Prix in the tiny, resource-rich Gulf kingdom again taking place against a backdrop of long-running dissent and continued protest.
The race was shelved in 2011 due to pro-democracy protests by the minority Shia Muslim population but resumed last year, despite calls for it to be axed due to claims of human rights abuses and heavy-handed police tactics against protesters.
The race itself passed off without incident, although four members of the Force India team were caught up in a petrol bomb attack and two returned home early.
The run-up to Sunday's race has again witnessed an increase in protests by hardline groups and a crackdown by the Bahrain authorities, prompting fresh calls for F1 to question its annual presence in the country on ethical grounds.
Young Shiite protesters who took the streets sounding drums have called the race "the Formula of blood".
Formula One supremo supremo Bernie Ecclestone, though, has dismissed concerns about holding the race in the country, while the Bahrain government has pledged to take "appropriate" measures to ensure security.
One notable absentee from the race will be Jean Todt, as he seeks re-election as president of world motorsport governing body the FIA, a number of newspapers, including Britain's The Guardian and The Times, have reported.
On the track, Germany's Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull leads the drivers' championship on 52 points from Finland's Kimi Raikkonen in the Lotus (49) and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso (43), who won last week's Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai with ease.
Mercedes team chief Ross Brawn, though, believes that the race will show whether they have a car fast enough to challenge Red Bull and Ferrari after Lewis Hamilton secured pole position and then finished a creditable third in China.
Brawn, who masterminded Michael Schumacher to his seven drivers' titles with Benetton and Ferrari, said he felt Mercedes were within reach of fighting for titles but needed to confirm their potential on Sunday.
"The pleasing thing is we've been to three races this year and we have not been bad. Bahrain will be the final one of the opening quartet that will tell us if we have a car that we can get to work at most places," he said.
"We seem to have but we have to lift the performance another two or three tenths compared to the opposition -- and we know it is a moving target."
Brawn told Autosport magazine that there were plenty of encouraging signs that Mercedes had a much better car this year.
Last year in Bahrain, Mercedes followed up German Nico Rosberg's stunning victory in China by taking fifth place in qualifying and the race.
This year they are hoping for something better -- and the 2008 champion Hamilton, who has already delivered two podium finishes and a pole position this season, said the team was strong enough to challenge for the title.
The British driver, 12 points adrift of defending triple champion Vettel, said he felt sure he was capable of being involved in the title fight -- as long as they improved their pace from China.
Ferrari's team chief Stefano Domenicali was also confident following Alonso's triumph in Shanghai.
The team's Ferrari F138 car was already more competitive than last year's F2012 at the same time, he added.
"The car seems better this year in terms of pure performance, even though that is not enough because we need to make it better and better," he explained.
On Sunday's race he said: "We have another situation in Bahrain with different conditions. We will see where the performance of our car relative to the others will be there."
Three former world champions have won this year's opening three races, while the once-dominant Red Bull team has been troubled by internal strife.
Australian driver Mark Webber struggled in the season's opener in Melbourne -- his home race -- then was stunned in Malaysia when Vettel ignored team orders and snatched victory from him.
In China, he ran out of fuel in qualifying and then collided with Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso and lost a wheel.
That clash has brought Webber a grid penalty this weekend but team chief Christian Horner has backed him to make his mark.
"He will be fine. He is a tough competitor and he was driving very well," he added.
Horner also rejected all suggestions that the team was involved in any kind of conspiracy to favour Vettel and undermine Webber.

One of those traditional "I'm a user of abc, trying out xyz" articles. This time, a Mac user tries Ubuntu 8.10, and concludes: "Linux has come a long way, but it's not totally ready for the mom and pop folks, in my opinion. In the two days of testing, with two occasions it refused to load the graphic drivers and I could not enjoy Compiz. I found a tutorial which taught me how to modify xorg.conf to load XGL (I suspect that messing with the resolution of the second screen might have overwritten the xorg.conf file). Even so, I'd say Ubuntu 8.10 is a fantastic operating system. I guess it may take a while to tweak an Ubuntu installation to perfection, especially for more demanding users. I will recommend Ubuntu to everyone who can't afford a Mac, are not into heavy media content creation or hard-core gaming."
