NEW HAVEN — Fourteen-year-old Amy Pitts likes animals. She has a horse and a three-year-old Sheltie named Ginger.
The New Haven teen recently began sharing that love for animals with folks at the Eastview retirement community in Middlebury. She put her dog and herself through a therapy dog training, and now visits residents there and gives them the opportunity to stroke Ginger and reminisce about the pets they'd owned over the years.

This post gave me autism.
Since when has a Hierarch done anything for you? . . .
Why do Protestants fast? Don't they consider that a "work"?
Do we as orthodox believers really stand above repentance? Are we as orthodox believers AND citizens not accountable to God for the moral state of this nation? Are we being self-righteous if we think to be better than they?
At least they don't make up wacky "traditions".
I don't think I'm misconstruing this. All the wacky "traditions" I think you take issue with started with the Greeks, so I don't know what your problem is.
You all are so screwed up.....full of spite and rebellion and unbelief.
And I do not consider anybody's honest attempt to repent publicly for the sins of our nation 'works'. But I guess the words of St.James in James 2:18 don't mean anything to you, do they?
Why does this repentance have to be public? Honest question.
And your last comment is just another caustic erruption from a bitter heart. Don't you know that bitterness defiles (Hebrews 12:15)?
The Church is our Mother. She is the Life-giving fountain. She is represented in the Theotokos. Jesus gave us to Her care with his last words. And you are taking pleasure of mocking this treasure more honorable than the Cherubim ...
Mor, if you go back to my initial post you'll see that I asked three simple questions in it, and you haven't even answered any of them yet. Nobody has.I'm sorry about that.
How and why should that be done in secret, anyhow? ....Certainly the devil wouldn't like it but we sure would get God's attention, like they did in the days of Nehemiah.
I find it interesting that you choose to label the forum's perceived tendancy to bash Protestants as "sick." I also find your "soul reading" to be unwelcome. You are not anyone's Gerondissa. And your use of biblical quotes to back up your attacks is curious.
I have realized that anybody who approaches this forum as not-yet orthodox and does not talk the right talk usually gets walked all over, instead of being shown "love towards the enemy".
And what do you mean by the kettle calling me back? I have never heard that expression. But I figure it's another piece of spite-mail
Hi Shiloah,As far as group repentance, there are many traditions, at least Russian ones, I don't know about other branches of Orthodoxy. At one time, Russians were big into pilgramages, to the Holy Land as well as to monastaries all over Russia. People of all walks of life did this, from the poorest peasents to the richest aristocrats. There was also a great tradition of religious processions that sometimes were hundreds of miles long. Fasting was to be taken quite seriously on the designated times, so I doubt if any extra were added on. In Russia the traditions are reviving, thank God, but in the US we are becoming more & more lax.
From what I have read on the different boards the non-orthodox, especially anybody suspected to be protestant, are being treated like the enemy. That's what I was implying. It is NOT my own perception. And what do you mean by the kettle calling me back? I have never heard that expression. But I figure it's another piece of spite-mail?
Again, the reason most of us don't have much of a response for what you originally asked/posted is that it is just not something Orthodox would do.
I was aware that it is something Orthodox don't do, but does that mean it is wrong to do it? And thanks for trying to be kind. It helped a little
Before I became Orthodox, I was part of a Wesleyan Holiness movement. That is probably about as "works" oriented as Protestants get (but don't use that word, of course!) Fasting, prayer, etc. was seen as something that indirectly helped regarding salvation, insomuch as it helped one have a "better relationship with Christ". It was seen as an effort of love. Protestants make a big distinction between justification and sanctification. Now, if you say that someone can be saved (justified) by works, that's where they have a problem. They do not think that one can be justified (ie. saved) by works. On the other hand, some Protestant groups do allow that works are a part of our sanctification. They don't see fasting, etc. then as a necessary part of our salvation, but rather as 1) something that we do just because we love God or are led to it through obedience, or 2) something which effects the quality of our salvation, so to speak (e.g., how "strong in the Lord" are we? are we "on fire"? etc.), but not the actual fact of whether we are "saved" or not.
By the way, if orthodox don't think much of the status and the privileges of this nation I wonder whether they go to vote? Since there are no orthodox candidates to vote for.
At our parish we do not have any repentance times other than those at general confession which are to be a soul searching moment for the individual. But we have never had any corporate repentance for actual situations. So that would be possible?
have you ever thought how this constant protestant bashing on this forum comes across? To me and maybe a few others who don't speak up much here, it is just as unwelcome. As for me calling it 'sick' - one of Webster's definitions of sick is "spiritually or morally unsound or corrupt". There is a steady hateful attitude displayed towards anything that just looks the least bit protestant on this forum. Really not appealing to anybody who might be on this forum looking for "the fullness of the faith". I have realized that anybody who approaches this forum as not-yet orthodox and does not talk the right talk usually gets walked all over, instead of being shown "love towards the enemy".
But I haven't been walked over nor (that I've noticed) been considered an 'enemy'.
Could it be that the various labels attached to Wesley, the "Anglican in earnest," have not stuck because he is operating from an eastern paradigm, albeit he seeks to accommodate to western categories? Is the form of Wesley's composite answer to the Christian life western while the substance is eastern?
Nor have you given us any reason to do so, seeing as how you don't have a martyr complex.

Lately, there has been a flurry of discussions and questions on scaling social media so here's my take on a key question that seems to be on many minds.
Question: How do I set up a social media department for my company and what is the typical org structure (with roles & responsibilities)?
Let me start off by saying, there is no typical organization structure for a social media team or department, since companies set up their internal org structure based on business needs. Ideally, you want to plan out and budget for resources in advance so you're not struggling to scale your social media activities. However, the reality at many medium to large-size companies is that social media is often initiated within one specific functional group like customer service or PR and the resources are not fully dedicated to social media but over time, these are shifted over from traditional investments and/or added as needed.
If your management is serious about allocating resources for a dedicated social media team, that's great news! There are agencies who can audit your organization structure to help assess your social media resource needs. But if you're working on a tight budget (as most of us are), no worries, here are 4 simple steps to get you off to a decent start.
#1 Define your new team/department's objective and scope:
Social media has implications for a wide variety of functional areas from marketing to customer support, and even HR. So start by defining your team's role along with a clear statement of the team's objective. Simply put, define your team's reason for existence and what specific business need it will solve. The scope does largely depend on whether your team is aligned to any specific functional group like marketing or the team is going to structured as a centralized pool of resources that supports the entire organization.
List all the groups/departments that your team will support and level of support you'll provide them. Remember that the way each functional group uses social media is different so take these differences into account while developing your overall plan. For example: The CS team will use social media differently than the PR team, so make sure you don't underestimate the resources needed to support these different needs.
#2 Pull together a plan of deliverables and resource needs:
Clearly outline this new team's responsibilities and deliverables in as much detail as possible. List specific deliverables, frequency. and timelines where ever possible. this is critical because this will help you define how many resources you'll need to deliver on what you've promised. Also bear in mind that while people resources are key for any social media team, but don't forget to include dollar resources as well for expenses related to resources, tools or external agency resources. One good way to create your estimated budget is to check with your HR, social media agencies, and contracting agencies since they can help you estimate the cost for your resource plan.
#3 Determine team roles & responsibilities:
Once you've defined your deliverables, then the next step is put together your potential org chart where the roles are determined by what type of skill set you will need to deliver on your plan. For example: If your plan is to deliver 6 social media training sessions on a weekly basis to all the functional groups, then you will need a) content (develop in-house or externally), b) media for delivery and recording of the sessions and c) someone qualified to lead the sessions. Based on the plan, some typical roles on your team would be social media trainer/s and training/educational content producers. Having clearly defined roles will help you hire talented folks with the right social media skill set rather than generalists aka social media "experts".
#4 Define your KPIs:
This part is often overlooked but is very critical to the continued success of your team. It's fair to assume that you may not get all the resources that you ask for and that the need for resources will only grow along with increase in social media adoption. So make sure you've defined your success metrics and planned for future growth by including clear milestones. These will help you prove the value of this new team and help you make the case for more resources as needed.
Hope you found this information helpful. Let me know if there's anything you would add as you're planning out your social media team.

Who among us hasn't had their heart broken at some point? Last fall the Red Sox broke our hearts. A September swoon of biblical proportions. I was saddened by it. I was hurt. I couldn't understand it, even though I endured every agonizing minute of it. Why us? We had stopped saying that for a while. The Patriots had their dynasty early in the new millenium. The Sox reversed the curse in 2004 and for good measure, won again in 2007. The Celts and the Big 3 bested the Lakers in 2008 and even the Bruins skated off with Lord Stanleys' Cup last season. We were riding high.
We have had all winter to digest the debacle at Fenway. Terry Francona and Bobby Valentine have essentially switched jobs. Tito will work on ESPN, while Bobby V manages the Red Sox. In the meantime, we've been further emotionally crippled by the Pats' inability to beat the Giants. We've seen the Celtics age before our very eyes, and we've been bludgeoned to death by Tebow mania and now Lin-sanity. My question is- "Are you ready to love again/"
It's not quite Spring yet, but it is the time of year when ANYTHING is possible. Anything. Every man, woman and child has the chance to be happy. You've been beaten up in the past. We all have. You can say "screw it!" or you can get back up on the horse. I think I'll choose to embrace the Sox again. Give it another try. My friend, "The Colonel", was a Sox fan his entire life. The Aaron Boone home run in 2003 was the last straw. He announced a change of allegiance, to, of all teams, the Yankees. He remained steadfast until the Sox ended their 86 year drought. He wanted back in. Too late.
When you love something or someone, you want to be loved back. Last season, the Boston Red Sox didn't love us back. They cut us off at the knees. They pulled the rug out from under us. They "bonked" us over the head with a giant hammer. You may not yet be ready to profess your love. I can't blame you. Proceed with caution. You don't want to get clobbered again. If you do love the Sox, don't be afraid to stand on the rooftop and yell it out. Certainly, there's a risk. But, how about the reward? Sometimes in life, you have to play a hunch. Go with your gut. The payoff could be the sweetest reward of all. Getting loved back.

#125 ~ Off the Menu ~ Review and ContestNovember 24, 2008 at 12:00 am | Posted in Books, Culture, Reading | 16 Comments
Tags: Asian American culture, book review, Chinese culture, Christine Son, fiction, high school friendship, Houston, interracial adoption, Korean culture, Off the Menu, recipe contest, women's fiction
Today it is my pleasure to serve as Christine Son's hostess on her blog tour TLC Book Tours. What a great way to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday week! Please see information on her entire tour at the end of this post.
For more information on TLC Book Tours, their authors and all of their wonderful tour dates, please click here.
The Review…
Whitney, Audrey and Hercules are three Asian women from Houston, TX. They have been friends since high school, where they were each the co-valedictorians of their graduating class. Although they have different goals and dreams for their lives, they meet once a month at Hercules' restaurant to discuss their lives and achievements. The Valedictorians are about ready to enter their 30s and are all outwardly successful. Inside, they each have anxieties about their lives and their futures that they do not share with each other for fear of what they each might think. Independently, each of the women is bright, but they are sinking without the help of their best friends. They learn that their troubles are best shared and resolved together.
Off the Menu is an interesting look at how three different women who share a similar race can be impacted by that in context of their family and of their country in very different ways. Whitney is the youngest child of a traditional Korean family. While clearly loved by her parents, the emphasis is on education and professional success. Whitney is an up and coming attorney at a prestigious law firm, but what she really wants to do is take a shot at becoming a singer/songwriter. She hides her weekend gigs from her friends and family for fear of how they will react. This secret eventually becomes part of the distance growing in her relationship with her parent-approved Korean boyfriend. Hercules is from a Chinese family. Her mother died when she was 12, leaving her to be raised by her father, a man who never gets over the loss of his wife. Hercules, whose given name is Xiao-Xiao, can never please her father, despite her success as a chef and restaurateur. She constantly struggles dealing with her father's refusal to assimilate into American culture, with his ailing health, and taking care of his personal financial matters. Audrey was adopted by her billionaire parents from Korea when she was two months old. Her adoptive family is Irish and it is that cultural identity she thinks of first when asked. She often thinks of herself as white because of her surroundings. While her family paints a perfect picture for the rest of the world, family life is not so very pleasant. Her parents, though married, are little more than strangers to each other.
Of all the characters, Hercules was my favorite. I wouldn't have expected this at the beginning, though. At first I found her to be off-putting. Some of her very first words were f*ck and motherf*cker. Those happen to be my favorite cuss words, but they were like a slap in the face coming right out of the blue. After I got to know her better, I understood that her near constant foul language maintained the walls she built around herself. My reaction to her is just what she would have wanted from any stranger. It instantly moved her behind her wall, keeping me at a distance. She didn't allow her friends to get much closer, either. When her relationship with her father come to a head at the same time as an eagerly awaited business venture with a college friend, she could no longer shut Whitney and Audrey out. It was a treat to watch her start to blossom from within her darkest moments.
This novel was not at all what I had anticipated. Where I was expecting chick lit about friendship with an Asian twist, I found thoughtful commentary on what it means to be a daughter, a friend, a lover, successful, an American, and a minority. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and learning from their experiences. This would make a perfect book for reading groups and dear friends. I am glad that Son's husband believed in her dream and bought her a laptop. I'll be looking forward to reading her next book – no pressure, Christine! 😉
The Contest…
Since it is Thanksgiving week, I thought it would be very appropriate to host a contest with Christine Son that revolves around food. Can't you smell the turkey now? Well, in the spirit of this novel and its title, I know that there are those who celebrate Thanksgiving with food that falls outside of what is considered traditional. Maybe this is because your family likes to add a cultural flair of your own, your family simply cannot celebrate anything without a particular dish, or you just don't like turkey. Whatever your reason may be, this contest is for anyone who serves, eats, or even dreams about something off the Thanksgiving menu.
To enter this contest, leave a comment here by the end of the day tomorrow (11/25) explaining why you like to eat something outside of the norm or, if you prepare the traditional Thanksgiving feast, what creative things you do with your leftovers. Then, send me an email with the recipe for that dish (literatehousewife_at_gmail_dot_com). I'll compile all of the recipes and post them Wednesday morning, giving everyone a little time to drool over other ideas – and perhaps brave the grocery stores for the ingredients. If I get enough entries, I'm going to publish them in PDF format and make the electronic recipe book available to everyone to download.
I will also be sending the recipes to Christine Son. After looking them over during the holiday weekend, she is going to select her favorite recipe. The lucky reader who submitted the winning recipe will win a $15 gift card to the restaurant of their choice (as long as I can buy the card on-line and send it via email) or an Amazon gift card – the winner's choice.
Good luck to everyone who enters!

Xbox One Video: Get Friendzoned on Xbox Live
Major Nelson guides us through this video that provides a brief glimpse at the Xbox One's Friends App on Xbox Live.
The new Friends system will automatically add your old Xbox 360 friends, so you don't have to worry about hunting down your old buddies and adding them in manually. The only rub is that the cap is 1,000 friends, which is ten times the amount currently available on the 360.
As you can see from the video above, the Friends app features a clean interface with a menu on the left, a feed in the middle and more menus to the right. Going further down the screen brings you to your Favorites, which houses your fave buddies, and then your Party screen.
New to Xbox Live are followers, which are considered friends, but with separate privacy features. You don't have to add followers as friends, but they'll subscribe to your feed and can follow your activity on Xbox Live. This means that you could grow a pretty big fanbase if you were really badass at a certain game and posted cool videos of your gameplay. Conversely, you can follow other gamers and check out their feeds. It looks like a pretty cool way to connect with others on Xbox Live.
Watch the video above and listen to Major Nelson run you through the basics of the new Friends app. Look out for old friends and new followers when the Xbox One is released on Nov. 22.

Continuing a thought from before on perfection.
I picked up yet another set of Lego blocks recently - I am a big fan of them. The pieces on every Lego are perfect, nothing less than that. Each block seamlessly meshes with the others, the instructions are perfect and every single thing on their instructions (we call it the "idea book") can be made. Over the past few years is when I have really seen Lego. They are perfect and I mean perfect.
When I was a kid, we had many similar blocks available in India. But you could start from the pack itself. The colour outside would be different from the content inside. The instructions would not necessarily be easy to follow - it would include more blocks than was provided in the pack. The blocks themselves never meshed well, there were protrusions and size discrepancies which meant that every single thing you made was less than perfect.
On the face of it, it is easy to dismiss this as a rich mans toy versus a poor mans toy. But connect it every single thing you faced when you grew up. How many things were perfect? It was always a matter of adjustment to a less than perfect condition. Think school, think college. How many assignments were submitted in a perfect way, that you, as the submitter were happy about the way it was done, than the fact that it finally was completed? Think carpenter, think plumber, think bank, think transport.
Therefore, perfection, in our minds, atleast for generations till now, is more an aberration than a regular occurrence. For us perfection is more an exception, than a rule! Is this why we find it so bizarre when someone seeks perfection at work, atleast initially?
A continuing chain of thought, more as it develops...

Why we dont seek perfection?
Continuing a thought from before on perfection.

Excellence is an extremity.Having the hoary legacy of Buddha( Middle path) and Krishna's Bhagavad Gita which eggs us to only do our best and not worry about the result are possible reasons that can be attributed for Indians not seeking excellence passionately.

No ways I dont think we can blame Karma or religion. Its just all about laziness, the lack of drive to go one step furhtur.Indians react to only one stimulus and thts called a kick on Butt....which is why the current generation which can afford to pay for better stuff is pushing businesses to deliver more, better, faster, cleaner. The standards have improved and will keep improving.Kaizen in life types!

Chandrashekar's comment doesn't appear to be entirely without merit. The entire Gandhian mentality and post-independence mostly-socialist mindset had borne out the idea of simple means and viewing rich people with contempt. With no monetary motivation, and our drive entirely arising from doing "just the needful", is it any surprise that mediocrity is the result?

The Gita and Buddhas teachings as well as Gandhis, do not really influence youngsters. In most schools the first two are barely taught the latter is just a history lesson. To me thats just an excuse.
Which is why I think it is more from a collection of experiences that we have lived through. And I think that the present generation is changing that, slowly...

could anything be perfect in life at all ...?? should you even bother to seek it?
where would be room for improving if things are found and done perfect....

so varied... the carpenter is fabulous at making the windows square, the mason at least works to make the walls vertical... pride in craft
it seems that industrialists don't give a damn, their pride is in making money

Preetha, I get your point, when I say perfection, I actually do not mean perfection. I mean, something very basic - customer satisfaction. Of delivering what you promised.
Gregory, no this also applies to the carpenter as much as the car company.

Terrific post.
I don't think the Bhagvad Gita urging to do our best and not worry about the results can be a cause of the sub optimal environment in India . If every one (or even a lot of people ) sought to do their best India would be a vastly different country.

I agree with Mr. Neelkantan.
Buddha and Bhagavad Gita are hardly to be blamed because neither has the population of country read nor do they follow it. Its a mere excuse.
It is lack of impetus on character development at academic level which is bringing out duds after duds from Indian schools.

coca-cola (with sugar, no carbonated version)
Quote from: Artimicia on December 14, 2016, 12:41:07 AMcoca-cola (with sugar, no carbonated version)I'm completely down with sugar instead of corn syrup as a pop sweetener, but non-carbonated? Not trying to sound judgmental, but that's so weird to me... Honestly didn't even know that was a thing.Myself, I'm huge on overpriced, pretentious craft beer. Specifically, darker malty beers (stouts; porters). If alcohol wasn't bad for you in consistent/large doses, I'd have one or two every damn night. This time of year is actually the best for stouts and porters, so I'm like a kid some-kind-of-a-store (Homer S. quote) when I go to the liquor mart these days.Food-wise, I love certain cold cereals. Could eat 'em anytime (and I do). Not the REALLY sugary crap that dissolves in milk (e.g. Apple Jacks, and the like), but the somewhat heartier stuff, like Raisin Bran Crunch, and Honey Bunches of whatever. My wife makes an amazing tinga that has chorizo in it (can't have tinga w/out chorizo anymore). LOVE IT!! Makes for wicked fire-hole sometimes, but it's totally worth it. She also makes a really good dish involving arrachera with red chile sauce.Also, hummus and pita chips are a fantastic snack.
Regular coca-cola is great but yeah you can get some regular cola drinks for lack of a better description that are kind of amazing IMO.
Food: BACON. Crispy. Salty. Accept no substitutes.

Quote from: glassjawsh on December 14, 2016, 04:04:37 PMseitan done right > bacon100 times out of 100bacon is too greasy anyhow, and has made me sick to my stomach on more than one occasionI've yet to try seitan. I feel like I would like it. I do enjoy turkey bacon like 100x over pork bacon because it doesn't get greasy. I mean, it's not the same, either, but I know which one I'd prefer to eat.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and TOKYO, JAPAN--(Marketwired - Dec 3, 2013) - Medivation, Inc. (
"PROSPER targets an important patient population as we and Astellas look to advance the development of enzalutamide further upstream in the prostate cancer treatment paradigm," said David Hung, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Medivation, Inc. "The initiation of this trial underscores our commitment to develop enzalutamide as a potential treatment for those touched by this disease."
About PROSPER
The Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national trial plans to enroll approximately 1,500 patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer at sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and the Asia Pacific region. PROSPER will enroll a high-risk subgroup of patients with prostate cancer who are progressing despite androgen deprivation therapy, but who are asymptomatic with no prior or present evidence of metastatic disease. The primary endpoint of the trial is metastasis-free survival. The trial will evaluate enzalutamide at a dose of 160 mg to be taken orally once daily versus placebo, plus androgen deprivation therapy. Information about patient eligibility and enrollment can be obtained by calling the PROSPER hotline toll-free at 855-977-3825. For more information on the PROSPER trial go to www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About Enzalutamide
Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor that acts on different steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway. Enzalutamide has been shown to competitively inhibit androgen binding to androgen receptors, and inhibit androgen receptor nuclear translocation and interaction with DNA.
About XTANDI® (enzalutamide) capsules
XTANDI was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on August 31, 2012 and is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously received docetaxel.
Important Safety Information for XTANDI from the approved prescribing information
Contraindications- XTANDI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action. XTANDI is not indicated for use in women. XTANDI is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.
Warnings and Precautions- In the randomized clinical trial, seizure occurred in 0.9% of patients on XTANDI. No patients on the placebo arm experienced seizure. Patients experiencing a seizure were permanently discontinued from therapy. All seizures resolved. Patients with a history of seizure, taking medications known to decrease the seizure threshold, or with other risk factors for seizure were excluded from the clinical trial. Because of the risk of seizure associated with XTANDI use, patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others.
Adverse Reactions- The most common adverse drug reactions ( ≥ 5%) reported in patients receiving XTANDI in the randomized clinical trial were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, diarrhea, arthralgia, hot flush, peripheral edema, musculoskeletal pain, headache, upper respiratory infection, muscular weakness, dizziness, insomnia, lower respiratory infection, spinal cord compression and cauda equina syndrome, hematuria, paresthesia, anxiety, and hypertension. Grade 1-4 neutropenia occurred in 15% of XTANDI patients (1% Grade 3-4) and in 6% on placebo (no Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 elevations in bilirubin occurred in 3% of XTANDI patients and 2% on placebo. One percent of XTANDI patients compared to 0.3% on placebo died from infections or sepsis. Falls or injuries related to falls occurred in 4.6% of XTANDI patients vs 1.3% on placebo. Falls were not associated with loss of consciousness or seizure. Fall-related injuries were more severe in XTANDI patients and included non-pathologic fractures, joint injuries, and hematomas. Grade 1 or 2 hallucinations occurred in 1.6% of XTANDI patients and 0.3% on placebo, with the majority on opioid-containing medications at the time of the event.
Drug Interactions- Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI: Administration of strong CYP2C8 inhibitors can increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong CYP2C8 inhibitors should be avoided if possible. If co-administration of XTANDI cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 inducers can alter the plasma exposure of XTANDI and should be avoided if possible.
Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs: XTANDI is a strong CYP3A4 inducer and a moderate CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 inducer in humans. Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.

The last US Open Rail jam took place in 2005, and half a decade later, Burton decided to bring it back for an all-time night session with a twist. That twist came in the form of SPT Parks' custom setup. The course was composed of tranny and lexan mashed together to create a plethora of options for all of this evening's contestants. For years, it seems as if the organizers of the Open have been struggling to make this contest different, but that's not to throw blame in any certain direction. When you host a contest at the same mountain for over a quarter of a decade, it gets hard to switch things up, and with the resurrection of the legendary US Open Rail Jam, it seems as if Burton and the entire events crew have succeeded by bringing back a crowd favorite that was won by Eddie Wall and Leanne Pelosi a half a decade ago.
With beautiful weather gracing the East Coast this weekend, the crowd turnout was remarkable, and fortunately, the riding was there to keep the spectators stoked. With a stacked field and a prime setup, the Rail Jam participants went to town. Riley Nickerson, Johnny Lazzareschi, Forest Bailey, Chanelle Sladics, Charles Reid, Chas Guldemond, Luke Haddock, Kael Hill, Sam Hulbert, Brandon Reis, Tim Humphreys, Jamie Anderson, Kade Madsen, Sarka Pancochova, Chris Rotax, Frank April Shaun Murphy and a handful of others went off on SPT Parks' insane setup. It was a Rail Jam, sure, but it looked more like a mini park packed with transition, boxes, wallrides and rails. It truly was a playground, and the riding complimented one of the best setups the US Open has ever seen.
The days of "the rail kid" are over. These days, kids can ride it all. There are hardly designations labeling different riders. Simply put, they can all ride it all. Jumps, transition, rails, whatever, they can take it to it. The mayhem was underway around 7:15 and ended around 8:45 and it was absolute madness. Johnny Lazz started off strong with some odd transfers and hardway rail tricks while Forest Bailey immediately flexed his technical rail prowess and unexplainable Northwest skate style (he's from Vermont). Jamie Anderson was hands-down the winner from the get-go and Shaun Murphy and Tim Humphreys battled it out for one of the top five spots in the jam session. Meanwhile, Chas Guldemond and Charles Reid took to a huckfest of sorts on the quarterpipe. Brandon Reis and Sam Hulbert followed each other around the setup with some BFF boardslides (seriously, they're attached at the hip, but at least they don't roll their pants up over their boots anymore). Sarka Pancochova and Chanelle Sladics lapped and hiked until they slowed down a bit as Jamie pulled away into the lead. I must say that the hardest charging award goes to hairball Kael Hill, who, every time the cameras turned in his direction, he was hopping around the course like a horny rabbit. All in all, it was simply nuts, and recapping the action almost seems futile.
In the end, it was Charles Reid's amplitude and Jamie Anderson's consistency that put them atop the rest of their peers, and at 9:25, it was said and done. Nearly half-a-decade later, the US Open Rail Jam was entered into the equation yet again, and if it stays in the cards for next year, it's sure to be bigger and badder than ever before. The full results are posted below. Stay tuned to snowboardermag.com for all of the men's and women's halfpipe results tomorrow.

Keeping Up With "The Jones"Thursday, May 31st, 2012
Hello, My name is mister Jones. Most people have no idea who I really am and what I have done. This is because they have been lied to. They have been led to believe that I am someone that I am not. They have been led to believe that I was some strange, lonely child who was obsessed with death & religion, interested in racial equality and was so fanatical about these things that I ended up committing suicide because I thought the government was after me. But this is nowhere near the truth. So… today I want to tell my story and set the record straight.
I was born on May 13th, 1931 in Crete, Indiana in a rural community to my father James (who was a World War I veteran and a member of the Ku Klux Klan) and my mother Lynetta. Being the son of a Klan member, I learned the ways of White Supremacy at an early age. I was an avid reader as a youth.
I married my "high school sweetheart" nurse Marceline in 1949, and moved to Bloomington, Indiana. In 1951, I joined the Communist Party USA, and began attending rallies and meetings in Indianapolis. I adopted and interracial mix of children (a Native American, three Korean and one White along with the child we conceived). I was a proclaimed Marxist, an integrationist and advocated for civil rights. And I did all these things, even though I am a homosexual and a NAZI. But… Doing these things, helped me to "look the part." What part? Keep reading.
Being a student of Hitler and Stalin, I became interested methods of controlling people. You see, Hitler and Stalin were into controlling masses of people. And there is no better control than mind control. Physical slavery can be tedious (slave revolts, etc.) But if you can control a mass of people's mind, you can "ball out of control" with no resistance.
One of the real purposes of the concentration camps was to do mind control experiments on people. Nazi's wanted to establish a slave labor force of mind controlled people. These Nazi scientists wanted to see if "Mass Obedience" could be induced. This is one of the reasons they used pimp juice. A lot of headway was made, but it all came to an end after WWII.
However, after WWII, these scientist came to the U.S. under what was called operation paperclip to establish the O.S.S (later on, the C.I.A.), continue mind control experiments and also introduce medicine and psychiatry into the American public education and school system so as to control the youth.
Now, these mind control studies were continued in America under a project called MK-Ultra. And these experiments went beyond just inducing mass obedience, but went into the area of creating controlled assassins. We wanted to control an individual to the point where he would do our bidding against his own will. These experiments were successful!
Now, In order to keep these experiments going, we had to recreate "concentration camp like" facilities so that we could continue to make progress. You see, the "official story" is that MK-Ultra was ended in 1973. But the truth is that we continued these experiments (and still do to this day) in three main areas (that we use to control populations): prisons, public (mostly mental) hospitals and religious cults! That's where I came in!
What we wanted to do was mass mind control experiments on mostly Blacks, women and children and any other "less desirables (poor, mentally retarded, foster children, etc.)" in order to advance our plot to control large masses of people. And I (with my background) was a perfect candidate to carry these experiments out. So, we had to create a cover. As a new C.I.A. recruit, my role was to do mass experimentation of people under the guise of ruling over a religious cult.
I read many books on religious cults to learn how to control people. I also was a student of George Orwell's book 1984. I became an expert of psychic sciences of cohesive persuasion, mind control and brainwashing. These things were achieved by using hypnosis, electroshock therapy, sleep teaching, esp, and subliminal projections.
In 1952, I became a student pastor in Sommerset Southside Methodist Church, and then I left that church and went out on my own. I started preaching out on the streets of Indiana and established the Community Unity Church in 1953 when I was 23.
I became a charismatic "faith healer." I constantly crusaded on behalf of Blacks and spoke out against capitalism (saying that the rich had all the money). And since I was always out on the streets parading for justice, I was able to bring in a lot of poor, disenfranchised and desperate people who were looking for a better life and a way out.
I operated out of a tent, and I sold monkeys (that had been experimented on) door to door to fund my mission. I was truly a "PIMP" in the pulpit (as many preachers are) and I would do things like pull chicken livers out of a toilet and claim that I had cured people of cancer. I had the people in awe of me. I would organize large religious conventions with Pentecostal pastors (many of which would have over 10,000 attendees) and impress them with my "healings." I also wooed them by revealing peoples private info (like social security numbers, addresses, etc). Lots of money was raised.
I called myself the reincarnation of Lenin and Jesus, but my landlord called me "a gangster who used the Bible instead of a gun." LOL! And yeah, I did a lot of different things (that one may consider criminal), but since Dan Mitrione was the chief of police, I never got in a lot of trouble. I had met Dan (a C.I.A. operative) as a teenager, and he had taken me under his wing, and we were close friends thereafter.
Dan eventually graduated from being the chief of police and joined the International Police Academy (a CIA front) and got trained in torture and counter-insurgency techniques. He would use kidnapped homeless people for training purposes, and then kill them when he was done.
In 1956, I bought my first church building in a neighborhood in Indianapolis and called it "Wings of Deliverance." I would call it a different name later on. People fell for all of my activist B*****t. All of the stuff that I talked "exposing racism" got me a lot of publicity over the years. I was even appointed director of the Human Rights Commission in 1960! I was praised by Black Newspapers, local radio and TV.
But in 1962, I decided to step up my game. So I took a trip to Brazil as my friend was already there. At the time, he was an O.P.S. advisor at the U.S. Consulate. And while I was there, me and my family lived like kings and queens. We lived in a "well to do" area in Belo Horizonte (CIA headquarters in Brazil) really close to Dan. The U.S. Consulate provided me with transportation and would bring my family groceries or whatever else we needed. I told my neighbors that I was a retired U.S. Navy captain and was in Brazil to "recuperate from the Korean War."
But the truth is, I was really there to learn torture and interrogation techniques from Dan (who taught these techniques to new C.I.A. recruits before they would go out on kidnapping missions). There, I also studied some of the techniques of Voodoo cults and religions.
I was chosen to be one (of the many) leaders of the U.S. Department of State (D.O.S.) program called "Project Blue" headed by Wessley Baker. Project Blue was a systematic program used to continue and maintain the level of mind control already installed in small churches (like mine). There are basically 5 levels of mind control which range from level 1 (brainwashing hypnosis) to level 5 (full out Manchurian candidate)
Ironically, being a speed-ball (cocaine mixed with heroine) and LSD addict made me susceptible to mind control myself! I became a subject of MK-Ultra. I received a level 4 training with a level 5 trigger (which meant that I could be programmed to assassinate a person or mass of people by using a "trigger"). This would come in handy later on.
I returned to my church in Indiana with a boat load of cash and began to teach a more radical message. I taught that the United States was the Antichrist, and that capitalism is the Antichrist system. But I also began to apply my new learned techniques. And despite all of the things I was doing, I got a lot of support from celebrities and politicians!
But on the inside, people had no idea what was going on in my church. Project Blue was in full effect. We were (in limited quantities) giving members of our church hallucinogenic and behavioral drugs provided by the D.O.S. I would hold communion services and serve drug laced "bread and wine" to my subjects and monitor them to figure out who would be the best candidates for our inner circle. Each inner circle member would be put in charge of 3 congregation members, and would help assist them through the program until complete obedience was achieved.
My people (because they were convinced of my power) were terrified of me, yet they believed that I would always "take care of them". They would do ANYthing I told them, and they would let me get away with ANYthing. And once I got them in, I isolated them. I didn't allow them to associate with outside "heathens" (I would even punish them for doing so). This kept outside people from pulling my people out of my religious cult.
I kept my people in a constant state of fear and guilt. I made the people sign over their property to me (as a sign of their loyalty). I would make members write confessions about their faults, wrongdoing and weaknesses to that they could clean themselves of negative thoughts. I even took it a step further and I made a lot of them write letters stating that they were homosexuals and molested their children. All of this info was put in their profiles in case I needed to blackmail them if they tried to leave. I would beat and humiliate people (physically and sexually) in front of the rest of the congregation for anything under the sun (especially if they forgot to call me "Father"). I would even give them drugs that would appear to kill them. But then of course, I would bring them back to life.
If people tried to leave, then they would be warned that "something bad would happen to them." If they did manage to leave, they were to be harassed and rejected by us. And if they had too big of an influence on our members, or we were afraid they may rat us out, I would just have them killed.
Now, I know all this sounds crazy, but you have to understand that… I was a very nice and caring person. And I was a father figure to these people. And even though the father has to "discipline" his children sometimes, ultimately they understand it's for their good. I could make them feel guilty for their transgressions also (if need be). And of course, they were drugged!
However… Despite all of our success, my church began to be scrutinized by local law enforcement agencies. All of the rumors surrounding the mysterious deaths of people who had left began to get out. Reports of kidnapping, beatings, and sexual abuse started to circulate. They were about to open up a full investigation into my "healing" rituals, so I decided to move. Like many religious leaders have done, I made up a cockamamie story about how I thought that a nuclear war was going to break out in 1967 that would create a new "socialist Eden" and we had to move.
In 1965, we moved to Redwood Valley, California for "safety" using the money that I had returned home from Brazil with. What people don't know is that the real reason that I moved there was because I got hooked up with a federally funded program to conduct mind control experiments on mentally ill patients under the guise of deinstitutionalization.
The Mendocino State Mental Hospital (which was in that area) was the place where this program was to take place. We were trained in all of the medical techniques while we where there. My wife worked there as a social worker and I even taught school in that area at the time. Within a short period of time, the entire staff at the hospital was members of my church. We conducted behavior modification experiments (like sensory deprivation) on the patients, and also my own congregation.
I also established The Happy Havens Rest Home (without any trained medical personnel or licensing). There, I began to attract more of the less desirables that I needed. I began to assemble a population of people (mostly Black, women and children) with few family connections (prisoners, psychiatric patients and elderly people from other rest homes). I even had well over 100 foster children transferred in (many by court order).
This rest home was guarded by dogs, guard towers and electric fences. Also there was my "Hit Squad" who I called the Red Brigade. This was my all White trained (and mind controlled trained assassins) flock of armed guards that guarded the place and kept our operation under wraps. These guards kept people from getting in… and our "subjects" from getting out.
I eventually decided to expand my operation. I started holding church services in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1970. I established permanent facilities in both places in the next couple of years. At that time I began to go away from traditional Christian doctrines. I exposed "errors and lies" in the Bible and began to preach that the Bible was the White man's way to subdue women and subjugate minorities.
In 1975, I moved my headquarters to San Francisco in the former Albert Pike Memorial Scottish Rite Temple. At this point in time, I was doing it BIG! My church got the support of many big name celebrities and politicians like Jane Fonda, Walter Mondale and Hubert Humphrey. I rubbed shoulders with people like Rosalynn Carter, Angela Davis and Walter Heady (leader of the local John Birch Society). My church was heralded as a caring movement that understood the needs of Blacks. I even got put in charge of "the projects" (San Francisco Housing Commission) and many of my followers got jobs in the welfare department. This allowed me to continue to target the type of people that I needed to continue my experiments.
My church also became a fundraising force courted by many politicians. We organized drives for Richard Nixon, and worked with the Republican Party. I was even appointed chairman of the county jury!
However, despite my success in San Francisco, there was still much controversy surrounding my church. In 1977 an expose on my church really put me in a bad light. I tried to play the "The government is conspiring against me because they are racist and don't like me because of my social views" card, but it just wasn't cutting it. So, at that point my final (an previously anticipated) move had to be made.
Now, I had known all along that negative attention would eventually put my operation under too much pressure. So, I had for a while eyed a remote place where I could go and do all of my experiments, with little scrutiny and interference. I had known that this project would be short lived, and that we would kill all of the victims once finished.
I had originally intended to move subjects to a remote place in Brazil. I had also explored the possibility of establishing a concentration camp on the island of Grenada. I even courted Sir Eric Gairy (Grenadian Prime Minister) and invested $200,000 in the Grenada National Bank to help me start.
But eventually, I found an even more perfect spot. The place was Matthew's Ridge (located in South America). Matthew's Ridge was originally a Union Carbide mine, which was filled with an abundance of precious natural resources. There, I could establish a slave labor force and exploit these resources while conducting my experiments.
Matthew's Ridge was also the home of the Shalom Project from 1973-1975. The project was a C.I.A. operation for training Black mercenary guerrillas for operations in Angola. It had been built by combat engineers of the U.S. Army in the early 70's. And it had one of the most sophisticated hospitals in the world. C.I.A. operative Philip Blakey (member of my congregation) oversaw the development of this site in it's transition from the Shalom project to a site more suitable for my needs. He also placed the down payment on the site for me to purchase.
I moved quickly, and I told my members that I had to leave immediately, or I would be thrown in prison for life! I convinced my Black members that if they didn't leave with me, they would be put in to concentration camps and killed (how ironic). I told my White members that they were enemies of the state, and would be tracked down and killed by the C.I.A. if they didn't leave also.
My congregation was herded in buses in San Francisco quickly, and driven to Florida where they were bound and gagged, packed into chartered planes, and flown to South America.
We brought a whole lot of drugs with us on the trip. South American custom officials let us through without an inspection. Once there, we paid off Black and Native American women to sell us their babies to take back to Matthew's Ridge and experiment on. From there we drove everyone to the camp. All in all we had about 1200 people. This included about 40 nurses, and are Red Brigade.
Once there, we pumped the people full of drugs to make them obedient. The drugs we brought there were the standard mind control drugs. We brought Valium, Morphine, Quaaludes, Demerol, Truth Serum (Sodium Pentathol), Tranquilizers (like Thorazine), Hypnosis Drugs (Chloral Hydrate) and much more. We stored enough drugs there at our facility to drug an entire population of 10,000 people for over a year.
Our members received a total of about $65,000 in monthly welfare checks from the U.S. Government (even though they had denounced their citizenship). That money went straight to me now, and was used to finance my operation.
My subjects mined in the fields anywhere from 10-18 hours per day. I fed them small servings of rice or bread (that was often rancid). Now of course, my White staff workers had meals (breakfast, and dinner) everyday. The Blacks got scraps, and worked out in the fields (there were only a few Whites who worked out there).
I lived in a house with a screen door and a mosquito net, but in the meantime, my people slept in hot, sticky 10 X 12 foot community rooms (14 people in each room).
My subjects cried for food (to no avail). And when they complained about my being racist, I made them out to be a racist in front of everyone else. I would pit Blacks against Whites. I would announce to everyone that my White workers were superior to by Black workers.
At night, I would force my members to listen to my sermons blasted over the P.A. system (sleep deprivation and/or sleep teaching). I would preach to them about the virtue of homosexuality. I told them that people should sleep with the same sex because it wouldn't produce children.
I would keep the men and women away from each other (sexual deprivation). If a male and female tried to get together, I would humiliate them in front of everyone. Sometimes I would even take the husband/boyfriend and have sex with (emasculate) him in front of his spouse to prove that HE was a homosexual.
In the meantime, I would have sexual relations with all of my guards there. They were my lovers, and I would even brag about it to the people. And I did this in spite of the fact that I called myself the only "true heterosexual" there.
And while all of this was going on, Dr. Lawrence Schacht (the camp doctor) along with the nurses would experiment on all of my subjects. He would use many methods of torture, and would even perform suturing without anesthetic. We would place medical tags on all of the bodies to keep track of what behavioral drugs that we were giving to them, and monitor there demeanor and actions.
The entire MK-Ultra program was being executed in full. We tested electroshock therapy, wells for children, sexual humiliation, rape, electrode implants, live burials, verbal abuse, sensory deprivation chambers and anything else you can come up with. And we kept notes on all the results. And the drugs (many of them manufactured by U.S. Firms) were supplied by the D.O.S.
We also had long been looking for a biological weapon that could be used to control and suppress large groups of people. We had long been mixing animal viruses strands to see if we could produce the perfect virus to achieve the perfect results. Continuing on from the success of the Tuskegee Experiment a few years earlier, we experimented on our congregation using different man made viruses.
We hit jackpot when we the Visna virus from sheep (which causes pneumonia) and mixed it with the cattle disease Bovine Leukemia and came up with the perfect HTLV-III Virus (a.k.a. the HIV Virus) which has now been patented for reproduction from AIDS (or so called AIDS) patients. This virus was very successful, and we would later on put them in vaccines to inoculate large populations. At that time, we first "identified" this virus as one that was spread by having homosexual sex.
My guards would constantly walk around with guns and terrorize everyone. If slackers complained, we would threaten them. We would tell the children to inform us of the secret conversations of the elders and their parents. If we EVER found out that someone was even thinking about trying to escape, we would humiliate and punish them in full view of the masses of people to serve as examples to deter anyone else.
Later on, we developed an "extended care" unit. Now, if there was any problem with one of our church members, they would be taken to this unit to be rehabilitated and re-integrated back into the community. In the extended care unit, we would give them drugs (like Thorazine) to keep them under control. After a couple of days or weeks, that person would lose their desire to leave, and the behavior problems would cease.
But not all was good at that point. Some of the less programmed members in my congregation were getting more and more difficult to control. My own staff began to have issues with the way that we were treating the people. It was time for the project to wind down.
Tim Stoen, my church attorney and board chairman sold me out and defected. This scared the hell out of me, because Tim Stoen had designed, and had intricate knowledge of how we were covertly transferring millions of dollars into foreign bank accounts! So when he left, I sent my secretary, Debbie Blakey (Phillip Blakey's daughter) to track him down, and pay him in exchange for silence. She was to offer him $5,000 but could pay up to $10,000.
Grace (Tim's wife) was a REAL traitor. She had defected earlier than Tim. She had been very popular with my members, and her leaving threatened my control. Out of the blue, she showed up and wanted her son John. Tim had agreed to let me have a child by Grace because he couldn't conceive. But Tim had put his name on the birth certificate as the father.
To make matters worse, Debbie couldn't track Tim down and we never heard anything from him until October of 77 when we found out that he was going to join Grace in a San Francisco Superior Court action to get custody of their son. That wasn't going to happen! That child was mine!
By this point, most politicians' had fallen off my band wagon, but I still had some support. I held rallies against my enemies that were attended by Willie Brown, Harvey Milk and Art Agnos, among others. During these rallies people like Angela Davis and Huey Newton would communicate via radio and telephone to my congregation, telling them to "hold strong" against this conspiracy.
We assigned a number of our members to meet Tim and Grace outside the courtroom and threaten them, but I knew that it wouldn't be enough. One day, me and my members called up South American government officials and told them, that they BETTER stall the court case, or everyone in my community would extinguish itself in a mass suicide by 5:30PM that day! It worked, and the courts held off.
But the project was winding down. My secretary, Debbie defected, and told stories about what was going on in my camp. The tensions in my camp got higher and higher, things were falling apart, more info was being leaked out, and I knew that all of this would eventually come to an end. I was desperately trying to get the court of public opinion back on my side! I had hired Mark Lane (attorney and well known author) and Donald Freed (an American playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and actor) to help me.
Mark Lane held a press conference on October 4th, 1978 in San Francisco where he said that my community was being harassed by the U.S. Government. He said that the concentration camp accusations about me were false, and that I was going to launch a multi-million dollar lawsuit in 90 days against the C.I.A., The F.B.I., The I.R.S., The State Department, The Treasury Department and the Postal Service.
He said that there was a conspiracy against my community because the U.S. Government was embarrassed because of the tremendous success that I was having. And that it was an embarrassment to see people leave the U.S. and live without drugs and television. He told everyone that it was truly a beautiful place to live.
He said that the visits to my community gave him and glimpse into the future, and that the local government was pleased as my community was a model for other Caribbean countries to follow.
Donald Freed also chimed in, stating in my church newsletter release that if Martin Luther King could see my community, he would recognize it as the next step in his agenda, and ask for one, two, three, many more communities like mine!
Charles Garry, my church attorney stated that we were a community where racism, sexism, ageism have been overcome as a new social order. And that this was the answer to a better life.
But this didn't quench the noise. So the time for our "Plan B" to destroy everything was moving closer and closer. I ordered a box of cyanide that I would use later on in the execution of my plan.
Me and my staff began to put together "White Night" meetings. These meetings would be dress rehearsals in which I would wake the people up in the middle of the night, and tell them that people were coming to torture us, and that they would have to drink some poison that I would give to them to die peacefully. Some of them would comply, only to realize that I was just "testing their loyalty." These numerous dress rehearsals would be taped, found by the F.B.I, and would serve a bigger purpose later on.
In the meantime, I was more drugged out than ever. I had gone from speed-balls to injectable Valium, Quaaludes, barbiturates and stimulants to get me through the day. I did it all, and of course… there were PLENTY of drugs there to use. I was just biding my time until the inevitable.
All of the noise and reports and accusations about my camp had alerted congress, and people wanted an investigation. Congressman Leo Ryan had now become interested. Leo had been a pest to the C.I.A. for quite sometime. He knew we were conducting mind control experiments and he wanted to stay in the loop. He was trying to pass legislation that would put all C.I.A. covert operations under Congress's oversight.
The congressman decided to come on a fact finding mission to see what was going on in our community. We offered Leo a large sum of money in D.C. not to come, but he turned it down.
As we had done many times before with others, we rehearsed for the arrival of Leo. The workday was shortened, and the food was upgraded. We even had music and dancing. My subjects knew how to "put on a happy face." We would rehearse conversations. One of the camp members would pretend to be Leo, while another would be a content citizen of my community.
On November 17, Leo arrived at my camp with a team of 18 people which consisted of government officials, media representatives and concerned family members. One of the members with him, was Richard Dwyer, who was the head of the local C.I.A.
They spent the day interviewing me, my staff, and the community members. Our plan seemed to work well. A lot of my members told Leo that my camp was the best thing that ever happened in their lives. The crowd roared happily in front of him, and everything seemed to be OK.
But, later on that evening, members of my community started to secretly pass notes to members of Leo's entourage begging them to help them leave. One such note was passed on to me. I reacted by saying that people were liars and wanted publicity. I pleaded with them just to let me be. I told them that the people could go and come as they pleased.
The whole entire media crew wanted to stay the night. But there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen. I was already afraid of what they already may have recorded that I couldn't monitor. So, all of them were sent back to Port Kaituma that night to make other arrangements.
I only allowed Leo, Charles Garry, Richard Dwyer and a few others were allowed to stay. While there, Leo saw the condition that the people in my community were in. He saw how they were stacked in bunks on top of each other in the rooms. He saw how many of them were sick with high fever, and severe diarrhea (the first symptoms of the HIV Virus).
That next morning after breakfast, more of my members secretly came to Ryan and wanted to leave. The rest of Leo's entourage came back and continued to probe everything. By mid afternoon, about 15 of my members had wanted to and leave boarded the truck for return to the Port Kaituma airstrip. I begged them to stay, and even offered them money. But, to no avail.
At that point, one of the Red Brigade members, Ujara (also known as Don Sly) tried to kill Leo, but unfortunately, his attack was unsuccessful. The departing truck had stopped when the passengers heard the attack. I assured Leo that I would report everything to the local police. And he actually wanted to stay another day, but Richard ordered him to leave, saying that he would file criminal charges against Ujara. Leo and Richard boarded the truck to leave with the rest.
The attack on Leo was the last straw. The "spell" was broken, and the party was all over with. I got word from the C.I.A. that my operation had to be terminated, and the plan B was to take place immediately.
One of the defectors from my congregation was Larry Layton (a member of my Red Brigade and brother of Debbie Blakey). Larry was one of the "sleepers" that we had planted in the group. The others were skeptical of him (because he had been a loyalist to me), but they didn't kick him off the truck.
Another aircraft was ordered to carry everyone who was leaving my camp. When the truck got to the airstrip in the afternoon, the planes were put on hold. At about 5:00pm, as the planes were about to leave, members from the Red Brigade pulled up in a tractor and started shooting the passengers (some of them circled the plane on foot. This was led by Larry who had boarded the smaller plane, pulled out a gun and began shooting.
The Red Brigade members left, but not before the mission was accomplished. Leo was killed, along with 3 other media members and one of the defectors. Nine others were injured. After that, the South American officials immediately confiscated all of the footage and notes that were taken in my camp (Thank God). Richard had managed to bail out shortly before the shooting. He was to come back to Matthew's Ridge and put the finishing touches on plan B.
Back at Matthew's Ridge, we began to terminate (by hypodermic injection to the back shoulder blade) all of our subjects. This caused a revolt and the people began to flee. Our trained assassins ended up killing about 400 people, but over 500 of them escaped into the jungle!
Now of course, some of the victims were allowed to escape in exchange for their cooperation. They were to tell the story the way it needed to be told. About 3:30 in the morning, after the first round of killing, Richard sent out a radio message from my camp using a secret C.I.A. channel. This message that he sent out, would shape the way all of the events surrounding my project would be viewed. Using the tapes from our "White Night" meetings, a final tape was put together and released, to be heard by the public later on.
Over the next 5 days, we sent out over 350 South American troops, 600 British Black Watch commandos, and the American Green Berets to hunt down the rest of my subjects, kill them and drag them back to my camp. In the end, over 900 people ended up dead at the scene. We laid all of the victims next to each other, neatly in rows and in columns. After that, we dumped cyanide into their mouths.
We stripped the bodies of all medical tags and all other identification. We then positioned most of the bodies face down, and left them out to rot in the hot sun so that the bodies could rot and putrefy and no autopsies could be done. Most of the people would never be identified & no insurance would ever be collected.
Leo's daughter (and other family members of those who died) opened a multi-million dollar lawsuit, stating that the deaths were a massacre, and that I was a CIA Operative. But the suit was dismissed on a technicality.
Our experiment in South America was short lived, but successful. Jeff Brailey (retired US Army master sergeant) took our research documents regarding mind control to the U.S. Embassy. The data from our experiments would be integrated into new projects. Richard and other U.S. Embassy officials received medals and promotions.
It is said that I killed myself during this event, but the truth is that a body double was shot and placed at the scene of the crime later on to make it seem that way. I assumed another identity and fled to Africa, never to be thought of again.
Now at this point, you may be wondering why you've never heard this story. Surely something like this had to have hit mainstream news, especially considering all of the people involved. Well… the truth is that it WAS put in mainstream news. However, the official story told is but a fabrication that most people blindly believed. But the next time you hear it, you will know the truth.

It freezes script execution because its exactly that, a breakpoint. It stops there and waits for you to do something (continue, step through, etc).
The second js error is just something that sometimes happens with firebug. Its nothing to worry about. Also, as stated before, javascript is not java, and not even related.
It looks like your first error is exactly as it says. The function 'check' is not defined. If its not defined, how is it supposed to call it?! EDIT: Now that I looked at the mission, I don't know what you were trying to do with the 'check' function, but it doesn't look like the right thing. pay attention to what 'moo' is and figure out what you need to type to make things work how they are supposed to.

Mega Millions Ticket Worth $19M Sold in NJ
New Jersey lottery officials say a Mega Millions ticket that's worth $19 million was sold at a sub shop in northern New Jersey.But the ticket holder has not yet claimed their prize.
Carole Hedinger, the state lottery's executive director, says the sole winning ticket for Friday's drawing was sold at the Dollar Subs in Kearny. The retailer will earn a $30,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, which matched the five winning numbers and the Mega Ball.
The winning numbers were 4, 22, 23, 27 and 38. The Gold Mega Ball was 42.
Besides the big winner, lottery officials say two other tickets sold in New Jersey matched four numbers and the Mega Ball. Those tickets are worth $10,000 each.
Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is $12 million.

CLEVELAND — During a third quarter in which the Ravens not only didn't get a first down but they didn't net a single yard, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs sauntered over to a frustrated offense on the sidelines and delivered a message.
"We'll hold them from scoring touchdowns, you guys go ahead and pull a drive together and let's win this game," Suggs told the beleaguered group.
At the time, Suggs' comment seemed like wishful thinking. The Ravens were in the process of going 30 minutes without a first down and punting on seven straight possessions. Quarterback Joe Flacco was in the midst of misfiring on eight of nine pass attempts. Running back Ray Rice, who gained 58 yards and a touchdown on 11 first-quarter carries, was immersed in a stretch of seven carries for 10 total yards.
And because of those things, their once 14-point lead was all gone. But as they normally do against the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens responded just in time. Flacco hit Torrey Smith for a go-ahead 19-yard touchdown with 4:26 to play and the Ravens' defense did the rest in a 25-15 victory Sunday in front of an announced 65,449 at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
"We all knew what was happening. We all felt a change. You all felt it. But we also knew that when our defense was stopping them, when they were only kicking field goals, that we had a chance to win this game," said Rice who rushed 25 times for 98 yards and a touchdown. "We had no doubt that we were going to go out there and put a drive together to come out ahead.
"As far as Ravens' football, we've never been a fancy group. We've never been a group that wins quite frankly, pretty. When you're 6-2, there's just no complaining about it."
Whether Smith's catch and spin past Joe Haden on his way to the end zone or Anquan Boldin's clutch 21-yard catch earlier in the drive that broke a long first-down drought is the spark that the Ravens' offense needed going forward remains to be seen. But its immediate impact was evident throughout a relieved Ravens' locker room.
They are now 6-2, including 2-2 on the road, heading into the Sunday's matchup with the Oakland Raiders at M&T Bank Stadium , where the Ravens haven't lost since December 2010. They swept the season series against a divisional foe and they've now beaten the Browns (2-7) 10 straight times. They are 3-0 this season against the AFC North and have won an NFL-high 11 straight games against divisional opponents.
"We started fast and we finished strong. In the middle, we were a little like this," said Ravens coach John Harbaugh, waiving his hand wildly. "It was a little iffy there, but the thing I was proud of, our guys played with faith in one another. When the offense was struggling, the defense wasn't. When the defense struggled, the offense wasn't. We came together at the end to win the game."
Two plays after Brandon Weeden completed an 18-yard touchdown to Josh Gordon that was nullified by an illegal formation penalty, Phil Dawson kicked his fifth field goal of the day, this one from 41 yards, to give Cleveland a 15-14 lead with 8:48 to play.
When the Ravens got the ball back at their own 19 with 8:44 remaining, they hadn't gotten a first down since the 8:38 mark of the second quarter. They had failed on seven consecutive third-down conversions. The wide receivers weren't getting open and Rice had zero room to run. And predictably, the first play of the drive resulted in a dropped pass by Smith.
"I think all of us were probably frustrated a little bit there," said Flacco who completed his first 10 passes but finished the game 15 of 24 for 153 yards and a touchdown. "We weren't able to move the ball, we weren't converting on third down, and so I think you have got to deal with it."
What finally got the Ravens was Flacco's 21-yard strike to Boldin on second-and-10 from the 19.
"We just needed one play to break the ice and that was it," fullback Vonta Leach said.
A roughing the passer penalty on T.J. Ward gave the Ravens the ball on the Browns' 32. It was then third and-10 from the 19 when Flacco hit Smith in the right flat and he spun past Haden and sprinted untouched to the end zone. It marked the Ravens' first third-down conversion since the first quarter when the Ravens went 4-for-4 on third downs. They finished 5-for-14 in that category, but the successful one after the third quarter provided the game's decisive points.
"There were a few plays I felt like I could have made earlier in the game," Smith said. "I was frustrated by it so I was glad we got to finish on the good side."
A two-point conversion pass to Boldin made it a 22-15 game. The Ravens' defense, which allowed 105 rushing yards to impressive rookie Trent Richardson but forced five field goals on five trips inside their red zone, stopped Cleveland on fourth down.
Justin Tucker converted the field position into a 43-yard field goal and Ed Reed intercepted Weeden on the Browns' final possession.
"Somebody just mentioned to me was it frustrating. No, it wasn't frustrating at all. We knew what was happening to us. Cleveland has a good defense. I don't care what people think," Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. "Give our guys credit for that last drive. The defense played complementary football. We got better during the bye."
Cameron had heard plenty of criticism during the week after Rice got just nine carries and rookie Bernard Pierce didn't get any in a 43-13 loss to the Houston Texans two weeks ago. The Ravens responded by rushing on 16 of their 22 offensive plays in a first quarter in which the Ravens out-gained Cleveland 156 to 22 and controlled the time of possession, 12:17 to 2:43.
An 8-yard touchdown by Rice and a 12-yard score from Pierce — the first of his career — gave the Ravens a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. But by halftime, it was 14-9 and the Ravens' offense, which had struggled on the road all season, was once again in a funk.
It took a while and for their seemingly comfortable two-touchdown lead to vanish, but the Ravens woke up just in time.
"I don't take any credence in winning ugly. To me, it doesn't mean anything," Harbaugh said. "We're going to have lots to work on next week. We are going to try to become a great football team. We're not there by any stretch [but] we have a chance to get there if we all come together and do the things we need to get there."
