Mack is the Rusty Rust-Eze truck. He is voiced by John Ratzenberger.
"Endless days on the road and sleepless nights criss-crossing the country... For some this life would quickly grow old. But not Mack. No sir. Mack knows how important his role is. He's driving Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racecar. He's part of a team, and everybody knows there's no I in team, just like there's no I in Mack."
Cars: The Video Game
In the video game, he appears in part 2 of the end-scene for Radiator Springs Grand Prix, where he tells Lightning that he should get back into shape for racing before the next season starts. He then appears in all the cut-scenes for the Piston Cup Races. In High Speed Heist, the Delinquent Road Hazards rob him. Then Mack reports to Sheriff that he was robbed, and Sheriff tells Lightning about the robbery. Then in the cut-scene for Los Angeles International Speedway, Mack was kind of sad, because it was the end of the season, and he was gonna miss the season.
Cars Race-O-Rama
He doesn't play a big role in Cars Race-O-Rama. He appears in Mack Track Challenge, where you must use his trailer to do a big jump. Mostly in the game, he is the transporter that helps you get to different places in the game.
Cars 2
Mack is Lightning McQueen's trusted long-haul driver, crisscrossing the country from race to race, always with a smile on his grill. After dropping Lightning off in Radiator Springs with his fourth Piston Cup championship trophy, Mack sets off with the rest of the pit crew for a well-deserved vacation. Who knew that Lightning would end up jetting off to a race around the globe in the World Grand Prix?
In the Film
In the film he is briefly seen at the beginning when Lightning goes back to Radiator Springs, where he says one of his only 2 lines. He doesn't accompany him to the World Grand Prix due to being on vacation. At the end, he talks with Lizzie and says the other of his only 2 lines of the movie.
Those only 2 lines that he had are "Oh, these best friend greetings all get longer every year," and "Oh, those 2 are perfect for each other."
Cars Land
Mack's only appearance in Cars Land is in Radiator Springs Racers. When you come in the dark tunnel, you will almost crash into Mack, so you drive out of the way. You can hear him scream and call you a road hog. Then you will almost crash into Van and Minny who really are the car couple that are lost and need to look for directions.

Actor, Terry Crews, shared a difficult revelation recently but it's one that could affect many, many lives. Known for his funny, vibrant personality and incredibly impressive physique, Crews has been lauded as an ideal man, by many. For this reason, his confession about his porn addiction is brave and important.
The former NFL player posted three videos on his Facebook page and called the series "Dirty Little Secrets." Considering how light-hearted and comedic his clips usually are, it was a surprise to see him get so candid about something so serious.
While filming himself in his car, he began the recording by saying: "For years, years, years, my dirty little secret was that I was addicted to pornography. It really, really messed up my life in a lot of ways." Sadly, many men (and women) can relate.
He explained that his obsession with viewing sexually explicit material began when he was just 12-years-old and continued on into adulthood. It got so bad, in fact, that it threatened his marriage. He explained: "I had the biggest sense of entitlement ever. I felt the world owed me something. I felt like my wife owed me sex."
"Some people say 'Hey man, you can't be really addicted to pornography," he said. "If day turns into night and you are still watching you probably got a problem." The 47-year-old believes that being able to watch pornography without anyone knowing allowed the addiction to grow. The secrecy was a major factor to things getting out of control.
Crews has been married to his wife, Rebecca, since 1990 but things reached a boiling point about seven years ago. "My wife was literally like, 'I don't know you anymore. I'm out of here,'" Crews recalled. "I had to change because I realized, yo, this thing is a major, major problem. I literally had to go to rehab for it… I didn't get help to get my wife back. I got help because I needed it," he added.
"Worldwide Problem"
The Brooklyn Nine Nine actor points to the accessibility of pornography on handheld devices and refers to the situation as a "worldwide problem." Speaking to his followers, he said: "I'm calling on men to be more accountable. There's a lot of men out there blaming their wives for this." he told listeners. To the spouses of men who are struggling with pornography addiction, he advised: "He has to do the work. He has to want to change." Good advice.
Indeed, it feels as though more and more celebrities and people in power are sharing a warning about the dangers of pornography and what it's doing to modern intimacy. This great Ted Talk by Ran Gavrieli details his own reasons for ditching internet porn.
If you, or someone you know, are struggling with an addiction to pornography, consider talking to a mental health provider or entering into a rehabilitative program. You do not have to suffer alone and things can get better!

This Thursday will see thousands of teachers striking as another row over diminishing pensions continues.
Education Secretary Michael Gove has encouraged parents to volunteer to help out in schools in order to keep them open and cause less disruption to children.
Of course, when schools close it can cause all sorts of headaches. Working parents have to take time off or make other childcare arrangements. The knock-on effect is not insignificant.
Regardless of the rights or wrongs of strikes, seeking help from parents raises some interesting dilemmas.
For as long as I can remember, parents often helped out on school trips and volunteered for certain administrative roles. Yet stepping in to look after classrooms of children is quite different.
Regular volunteers must all be police checked before they can work with or near children. However, ad-hoc volunteers (which parents helping out on Thursday would generally be) don't require these checks so long as they are with a qualified member of teaching staff and are not left alone with children.
Unsurprisingly there has been a backlash from the unions. Mary Bousted of the Association for Teachers and Lecturers said that it was "very rich" of Michael Gove to suggest "anybody can come in and babymind" after describing teaching as a professional job.
In reality, that twists the issue. No-one is suggesting that parents have the skills and knowledge to teach a group of children. There's no doubt that, whether a school remains open on Thursday or not, kids will face disruption. Lessons will not go ahead as on a normal school day. The issue is more about seeking help from parents who do have the time to volunteer, in order to help the whole school community, and particularly those parents for whom an unexpected school closure would present real difficulties.
That said, some parents aren't happy about untrained strangers (albeit other parents) looking after their kids.
There was also some anger from a number of working parents on very low wages who don't have the right to strike and are unlikely to get any decent pension.
There's no ideal solution other than for the strikes to be called off. Children's education won't be irrevocably damaged by a single day's strike action outside of major examination times.
What do you think? Should parents be allowed to help out in order to keep a school open, or is the disruption necessary in driving home the teachers' cause.

Working within the framework of the European project Graphene Flagship, scientists have made a graphene-based transistor adapted to terahertz waves. "By combining the electrical field, which enables us to control the number of electrons in graphene and thus allows more or less light to pass through, with the magnetic field, which bends the electronic orbits, we have been able to control not just the intensity of the terahertz waves, but also their polarisation," comments Jean-Marie Poumirol, a member of the UNIGE research team and the first author of the study.
Practical applications of terahertz waves
Today, the UNIGE research team's focus is to move on from the prototype, and develop practical applications and new opportunities by controlling terahertz waves. Their objective is to make terahertz waves industrially competitive in the next few years. There are two main areas of application for this innovation, the first being communications.

Dual Use Research of Concern
Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) is life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security.
The United States Government Policy for Institutional Oversight of Life Sciences Dual Use Research of Concern outlines the criteria for what qualifies as DURC, listing 15 specific agents and toxin and descriptions of 7 types of experiments that, in combination, define the parameters for research to be classified as DURC and subject to oversight under the policy.
To better understand the DURC requirements or if research meets the DURC criteria, please review the training slides provided by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Review of Potential DURC Projects
To comply with the U.S. Government DURC policy, a standing committee was assigned as the Institutional Review Entity for DURC. A formal review process for potential DURC projects has been established, which involves review by both the IBC and IRE. Training on DURC is provided via the CITI training modules, for individuals involved in projects that involve one or more of the 15 high-consequence pathogens and toxins.
It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to identify research involving one or more of the agents or toxin on the DURC list and notify the IBC for review of its DURC potential. After notification, a formal review process will start where the IBC will determine whether or not the project falls into the DURC definition.
Although few research activities at MUSC would qualify as DURC under the definition in the Policy, we (institution and researchers) must comply with the USG Policy for DURC where applicable.
In case a project is determined to be DURC, The IRE will work with the PI to draft a risk mitigation plan to be submitted to the applicable U.S. Government funding agency.
To register a potential DURC project with the IRE, please take the following steps:
- Submit an IBC protocol which will then be routed for review by both the IBC and DURC committee. Instructions for the IBC submission process are located here.
- To the IBC protocol, please upload the MUSC Dual Use Research of Concern form (contact the IBC administrator for a copy). After completion, please print out this form, sign it and upload it as attachment to an IBC registration form via the eRMA electronic system.
- Upload a safety protocol for handling the toxin (template is located here [DOC]).
- Take DURC training: this applies to all personnel (incl. you as PI) that maybe handling the product. These individuals need to be listed in section 1e of the IBC form. To take the CITI Biosecurity modules, take the following steps:
- Log in to http://www.musc.edu/cgi-bin/citi/login.cgi with your NetID
- Click on the hyperlink "Main Menu" (almost at the top, left)
- Click on the hyperlink "Add a Course or Update Learner Groups" (in the black rimmed-box, titled My Learner Tools for Medical University of South Carolina)
- Click the box for Biosafety/Biosecurity Course, click Next
- Click ONLY the boxes for "Select Agents" and "Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC)", then click Next
- You'll be guided back to the list of courses you should complete. But before you can access the modules, you need to click the link "Complete The Integrity Assurance Statement before beginning the course"
- After completing all required modules, you may print out a Completion Report. There is, however, no need to email or submit this to the IBC. The IBC can check your completion records with administrative access to CITI database.
- Log out.
- Schedule time with the Biosafety Officer, Dr. Chris Voelkel-Johnson (792-3125 email@example.com) to conduct an inspection of the rooms to be used for this project. It is possible that the lab inspection is conducted after the IBC the meeting. If so, the IBC may issue approval with the contingency of achievement of a satisfactory laboratory inspection and correction of the inspection date in section 2a of the IBC form.

- SPORTS MOMENT: 2002 Natty
- SOCCER TEAM: USMNT / Man U
Recent Activity
Ultimately, thats it, no matter what we're positioned that if we handle our business that we're in the mix every year - regardless. Also, preseason ranking are very often garbage.
However, I will say kudos to the SEC. They're always one step ahead of other conferences in terms of bolstering their own teams. The were well into over signing when no other conferences were - part of their run from 2006 and on. Once other folks quietly caught up to that, the SEC slyly only plays 8 conference games while still beating their chest that they're a murderers row of teams. They've done very well for themselves in staying ahead of other conferences regulations.
Agreed. For me it's without a doubt Keith Jackson...and then everyone else. He far and away my favorite and his sounds just meant a big, classic game. Grew up with Keith.
I was optimistic about about a new staff bringing new energy and a new focus lens into the program and turning things around. And Holtmann/Pedon and co have exceeded even the optimism I had. When they were just looking for warm bodies at one point, I was thinking it would be a struggle...but damn this team is meshing nicely playing solid. Took them a month or so to get their sea legs but Holtmann has these guys playing awesome. Very excited for whats to come.
I like him because he coached some of my former teammates at BGSU. They say hes a legit dude.
Otherwise, I would probably be annoyed with him like I am for a majority of commentators.
One of my top 3 all time favorite Buckeyes - and I have not heard that but it's awesome and 100% correct. The last 12+ years prove it.
It is not a coincidence that Tressel locking them out of Ohio was Michigans downfall. All of their greats are from Ohio (Woodson, Desmond, Bo, Harbaugh, etc) and since Tressel took over they havent been able to get their damn dirty mitten state mittens on cream of the crop Ohioans. Without poaching premier Ohio talent, Michigan football is garbage.
Same for me, too.
2014 might be the best coaching job I have ever seen. Lose your veteran QB in summer not long before the season. Take a RS freshman most of the way who then gets hurt against Michigan - where the original 3rd stringer then vaults himself to legendary status bringing home the natty. A trash OL who eventually gelled to perhaps the best in the nation. An early devastating and resounding loss at home that only brought the team together. A statement win against a then near all time Sparty D. A missing player eventually found dead. A defense that in one season went from all time bad to lights out. Sneaking in to the playoffs last minute due to a 59-0 win with your 3rd QB - then slaying Bama and destroying Oregon. Beating all 3 Heisman finalists in the last 3 games. 2014 was a phenomenal coaching job.
Just like winning/losing games, the transitive property does not work here with player swaps.
It was a stone cold move by Saban. If it doesnt work - he's lost control of his team, he's done for, he panicked, the dynasty is over. But when it does work - Saban is the GOAT. He knows his team and players inside and out. Just a super ballsy move on that stage.
As a coach, there is a fine line to walk on earning playing time - both with your current team and with future recruits watching - and also having your finger on the pulse of your team and your players strengths. Or even if a move like that would trash your locker room and chemistry. I like to think that the coaches - who eat, breathe and spend countless hours with the team - know the team better than us keyboard warriors. Otherwise, we could just have live action internet polls call plays and set line ups and save the $5MM a year.
Whatever your identity and/or system is - you either need players to fit it or you fit it to the players you have. Whatever the case, you dont want to keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and/or be completely predictable. Saban identified that Kirby and UGA had dialed in on that predictability. Hurts never seemed to quite fit what Bama wants to do so they kept it tight and gave him little to no risk in the passing game. It's not what he does or does well and UGA had them boxed in. Saban felt it during the game and went for broke with the freshman and it paid off in a 1 half of a game scenario. Hats off to Saban and the frosh QB last night...but this wasnt 4 games into the season. This was a hail mary for the second half of one game. Saban played Hurts all year prior and didnt make that move. From all reports, Bama was planning on playing the freshman QB anyhow. I think Saban knows that Kirby has all the inside info and Saban threw him an all time change up. Thats why Saban is the best CFB coach we've seen in our lifetimes.
Boom. Pound the rock with the RBs.
Will make the new QBs life much easier. No one on our schedule can stop our RBs.
Just look at Georgia this year.
I find it interesting the teams using a number of Buckeyes are all playoff bound. The Browns, who for some reason avoids Buckeyes, went winless. Not a coincidence.
Sam Hubbard to the Pats makes lots of sense. They'll probably put him in at FB in goal line situations during the Super Bowl.
Pace, Spielman, Chris Gamble (to play both ways), Maurice Clarett (under chaperone) and if Urban is coach then TP. Wasn't a huge Pryor fan but under Urban that dude would shred every record in the universe.
This is A+ material and should definitely win a journalism award. Please send to MGoBlog
The writing is so solid I'm going to go out and get my own Bloomin Onion despite knowing I will have explosive diarrhea for several days as a result.
What did the coaches tell you the offense would look like with you running it?
JTBIV reminds me of that old dude playing pick up hoops at the YMCA. He's not fast, no hops, doesn't really have moves and you think you're going to torch him...but then you can't stop the guy. He just keeps making garbage shots and ridiculous rebounds against people who out jump him by 30". You get angry because everything feels like it's slop but he just keeps making it. A real junk yard dog that will rip you to shreds on 3rd and 7.
In college hoops it sure is.
And also, Dan Mullen has a pretty damn good track record with QBs. Hes had his hands on a couple of the best college QBs in the last decade. That had to be appealing and part of why Florida surged late.
Hopefully Urban texted Mullen the middle finger emoji this morning.
Franklin reeks of Axe body spray...but he definitely has that used car salesman vibe.
OSU07ASU10 found JoePa's poopy pants in the locker room after the game. If he's still around this site he'll tell ya.

It was in September 2016 that I wrote of the The Big Four Tigers of Mukki in Kanha. These Tigers had attracted the attention of all the Tiger lovers worldwide in the last 3 years. The most commonly sighted Tiger amongst them was Bheema, the peaceful warrior of Kanha National Park.
Almost everyone was beginning to reconcile that the Tiger behavior was changing in Kanha. Their belief stemmed from the fact that the four big male Tigers had accepted each other in a small area of under 300 sq kms. There were skirmishes on and off in the last couple of years. They all got injured, and recovered too. But deep down few knew that Kanha Tigers are fighters and not quitters. They live and die like Tigers in territorial fights. It was a matter of time before they would show their true colors. Come October 2016, and we saw departure of Rajaram in a fatal territorial encounter with Umarpani male. You may read the same in the below link:
Rajaram (Kingfisher) Tiger dies in a territorial fight in Kanha National Park
Umarpani male is a huge and a powerful Tiger in his prime with some extra-ordinary lineage. You might like to read about him here.
People were still coming to terms with the death of Rajaram when Bheema was found in a condition bordering death. The Mahouts found him gravely injured while patrolling on their elephants. Such was his condition that the department could not even think of tranquilizing him lest he succumb to his injuries. He was lifted and placed on a stretcher by the forest department while conscious. I do not recall any incident when a Tiger has been lifted without tranquilizing in the wild or even in a zoo.
He was taken to a natural enlarged enclosure where he was put under observation and treatment. Apparently the damage to him was considerable, and he was in no condition for a surgery. A team of expert vets were summoned from across the country.
His father was Kankata and mother was Budbudi. He was one in the litter of four. One of his siblings Bajrang is still doing well in another zone of Kanha. Bheema was frequently sighted in Mukki and Kisli zones. He was one Tiger who was not shy of tourists, and gave ample photo opportunities, sighted almost twice a week if not more in his peak days, i.e. until summer of 2016. Usually his sighting was not just a glimpse. He was often seen walking on the vehicle tracks for kms. After his sighting the tourists would go back satiated and delighted always.
It was 11th June 2015, an afternoon safari. I had just finished an amazing sighting / session with Umarpani male which lasted about 30 minutes when we decided to go and wait at the Babathenga waterhole. We had zero expectation of any sighting. The weather was a bit humid, and suddenly we hear a sambar alarm call. For a moment I did not believe my ears, I looked at Naren on the wheels and the second alarm call.
Now, when a Sambar deer calls it is most certain that he has sighted a Tiger. And if he calls twice in succession then it means that the Tiger is active. We started our vehicle and headed just 50 meters ahead from where the call came. As we reached the area, the sambar called again. We switched off the ignition and waited.
I always advise my guide, and whoever accompanying me in the jeep never to stand up, just stay seated. Reason being, that more often than not the Tiger would see the standing eager people before the people will see him. When everyone's eyes are eagerly searching for the big cat, there is a lot of nervous energy around. The Tigers are highly sensitive and would usually change direction when they notice anxiety. Hence everyone was seated, calmly active and actively calm in my vehicle.
Then Raju our guide pointed in one direction and murmured the most anticipated word, "Sirji Tiger". His face was seen from the tall grass. As everyone was seated in the car, the Tiger found a conducive atmosphere to make an appearance. We waited for him to come completely out of the grass. Once he did we started our vehicle and turned right where we expected him to follow us. Sure he did like an obedient son.
Then started my vigorous clicking. We maintained a safe distance. I kept giving him mental assurance that "i love you my handsome boy". He followed us, and did everything that a Tiger on his territorial round would do. Scratching, marking, spraying, flehmen, sit, roll, everything. In about twenty minutes that he followed me i clicked close to 400 shots. He was not leaving our trail. Finally Naren said, "Sir, it is time to go, we have only 30 minutes left for park closure time and we must move". With a heavy heart i confirmed and we changed course.
On our way back, i started to think of various safaris i had done in my last 27 years in India. Two memorable sightings are, my very first Tiger sighting in Ranthambhore in 1990. And, second would be this sighting. Though there are many memorable ones, but getting two different male Tigers, and both head on for a considerable time in less than one hour is unusual.
I called him the Peaceful warrior because he peacefully carried many combat medals (injury marks) on his shoulders with pride of a warrior. If I was to compare him with Link 7 aka Chotta Munna, or Umarpani male, Bheema was the most peaceful Tiger. He never unnecessary challenged any other Tiger for territory. Stayed mostly in his own territory, and defended it pretty well till almost the last 3-4 months of his reign. His skirmishes with Chotta Munna in 2015 were quite one sided where he chided him away comfortably.
But Chotta Munna has genes of Munna (a legendary Tiger of Kanha). At 15 Munna is still fighting, and surviving. Chotta Munna started to give Bheema some tough time toward middle of 2016. On 1st October 2016 when the park reopened for tourism Bheema was sighted with a limp, and it seemed he had lost considerable amount of weight. He looked a much smaller version of his former self. Subsequently his sightings reduced.
Was he unable to hunt? Was he carrying some injury? Or, was he ill? There was nothing of consequence visible on him. There is no protocol to interfere in the lives of wild Tigers in India. The department only intervenes when they feel that the injury is serious and can disable the Tiger.
On 4th December he was found by the patrolling forest staff. He was frail, his forelimb badly eaten by maggots. And he was found in the territory of Umarpani male. It is possible due to the constant disturbance by Chotta Munna he left his area and ventured into Umarpani male's territory. I have always maintained that Umarpani male is the biggest surviving Tiger of central India right now. Not only in size, but in strength, and confidence also he is unmatched. The fact that he has dominated Mukki practically since 2011 speaks volumes about his demeanor.
Bheema was also not a diminutive Tiger by any yard of imagination Afterall he was given his name Bheema for a reason. He would have been a dominating Tiger in any other landscape besides Mukki. It was unfortunate that he got stuck between the two sons of Munna (Umarpani and Chotta Munna), else he would never have gone in his prime.
His fans including me were praying that he survives. But when i heard that the chances of survival are minimal i prayed for his ordeal to end.
Having seen Tigers for some decades now, i think, Tigers are born to fight. They survive because they fight. Choice is either they fight or they die. The end is mostly they fight and they die. Such is the life of a Tiger.
Sharad Vats
Sir this is in my mind from several days when a 2 year old subadult tiger separated from mother manages to hide himself somewhere & makes kills as he is not that powerful to challenge dominating tiger. same way how Umarpani male came to know that bheema has entered in his territory? Why bheema didn't hide himself from Uma who was much stronger?
December 13, 2016 at 12:19 AM
Hi Abhijeet,
Good to see your thoughts on the blog. Tigers are apex predators, a perfect killer machine. A 2 year old needs to hide as it is a sub adult, and knows that he will be killed the moment he appears in limelight. In case of Bheema he was a fully grown adult in his prime. It is natural that when a Tiger fights and tends to lose a fight,(in this case most likely he was having some skirmishes with Link 7, aka Chotta Munna) he left his area for a while and would want to explore other area. It is possible that while he was in a new area he encountered another Tiger (most likely Umarpani male, as it was his territory) and had a fatal fight with him. Umarpani being much larger, and more powerful had an edge over him, which was shown in the result. Now, last part of your question how did Umarpani know Bheema is in his territory. It is a known fact that male Tigers walk a lot, and do regular patrolling of their territory. It is possible that he picked up the scent of Bheema, and tracked him down. Maybe the accidentally bumped into each other. But most likely Bheema must have been tracked down by Umarpani.
December 13, 2016 at 10:10 PM
Superbly written blog Sir. I literally felt as if I knew him for all those years even though I never had the chance to see him even once 🙂 You perfectly explained the ongoing competition between the four heavyweights in Kanha. TFS this. Rest in Peace Bheema.
December 14, 2016 at 12:11 PM
Thank you Rajas for your kind words.
December 14, 2016 at 02:11 PM
Beautifully written Sharad Bhai. Loved the title which is apt in the case of Bheema.
Kanha & Tiger lovers will miss Bheema forever. RIP Bheema.
December 14, 2016 at 08:30 PM
You have written this post in a very different manner. And, i am glad that i was lucky enough to read this post. Although, i haven't seen the peaceful warrior. But, still i feel like was there seeing him competing with his competitors.
December 15, 2016 at 10:36 AM
Thank you Jitendra, peaceful warrior is what i felt when i first saw him. The peaceful demeanor despite his wounds of a warrior got me to this title for him. Glad you liked it.
Thanks and Regards
December 15, 2016 at 10:36 AM
Dear Maria,
Thank you for your kind words. I am happy that you were able to visualize Bheema with his competitors through this post. Kanha is home to some real big Tigers. With such fierce competition among the big males territorial fights were waiting to happen. Survival of the fittest is the undisputed law from eons and shall always be. These battles only add veracity to this Jungle law.
Best Wishes

Omar Akersim prays regularly and observes the dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fast. He is also openly gay.
Akersim, 26, is part of a small but growing number of American Muslims challenging the long-standing interpretations of Islam that defined their parents' world. They believe that one can be gay and Muslim; that the sexes can pray shoulder-to-shoulder; that females can preach and that Muslim women can marry outside the faith — and they point to Qur'an passages to back them up.
The shift comes as young American Muslims work to reshape the faith they grew up with so it fits better with their complex, dual identity, with one foot in the world of their parents' immigrant beliefs and one foot in the ever-shifting cultural landscape of America. The result has been a growing internal dialogue about what it means to be Muslim, as well as a scholarly effort to re-examine the Qur'an for new interpretations that challenge rules that had seemed set in stone.
"Islam in America is being forced to kind of change and to reevaluate its positions on things like homosexuality because of how we're moving forward culturally as a nation. It's striving to make itself seen and known in the cultural fabric and to do that, it does have to evolve," said Akersim, who leads a Los Angeles-based support group for gay Muslims. "Ten or 15 years ago, this would have been impossible."
The shift doesn't end with breaking obvious taboos, either. Young American Muslims are making forays into fashion, music and stirring things up with unorthodox takes on staples of American pop culture. A recent controversial YouTube video, for example, shows Muslim hipsters — or "Mipsterz" — skateboarding in head scarves and skinny jeans as Jay-Z's "Somewhere in America" blasts in the background.
Advocates for a more tolerant Islam say the constraints on interfaith marriage and homosexuality aren't in the Qur'an, but are based on conservative interpretations of Islamic law that have no place in the U.S. Historically, in many Muslim countries, there are instances of unsegregated prayers and interfaith marriage.
"I think it's fair to say the traditional Islam that we experienced excluded a lot of Muslims that were on the margins. I always felt not very welcomed by the type of Islam my parents practiced," said Tanzila Ahmed, 35, who published an anthology of love stories by Muslim American women in 2012 called "Love Inshallah."
Many second-generation American Muslims still practice their faith in traditional ways, but others are starting to see the Islam of their parents as more of a cultural identity, said Dr. Yvonne Haddad, a Georgetown University professor who has written extensively about Islam's integration into U.S. society.
As a result, there's a new emphasis on meeting for prayer and socializing in neutral spaces, such as community centres, instead of mosques, and on universal inclusion.
"Some of them still want a mosque, they still want to belong and to pray and others are shifting and they are very comfortable being non-religious," Haddad said. "These people feel that they can get rid of the hang-ups of what the culture has defined as Muslim and maintain the beliefs and values, the spiritual values, and feel very comfortable by shedding all the other restrictions that society has put on them."
In Los Angeles, a religious group called Muslims for Progressive Values has been pushing the boundaries with a female imam who performs same-sex and interfaith marriages, support groups for gay Muslims and a worship style that includes women giving sermons and men and women praying together. The group has chapters in half a dozen major U.S. cities and at least six foreign countries and last year was recognized by the United Nations as an official non-governmental organization.

Coconut Water – One of the Healthiest Drinks on the Planet Coconut water is one of the most refreshing, energy-enhancing and thirst-quenchingly nutrient dense liquids money can buy—and I totally love it!Although admittedly, most people don't regard it as such the first time they try it (including myself).Like myself, most people fiirst try the pasteurized coconut water on the market.

Did I have you at bacon wrapped? I would think so! These bacon wrapped green beans are the perfect side dish to any holiday (or just dinner in general!). They are really easy to make, super tasty, and look really impressive. They're the perfect addition to dress up any meal. The green beans get a little crispy on the ends and are full of delicious bacon flavor. We had these for dinner tonight, and with a mouth full of beans, Brett turned to me with an endearing look and said "I love these bacon green beans." Add these to your next holiday table, and I promise you're sure to wow your guests! Or just make them for your husband, and I promise he will thank you.
- 1 bag green beans
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp unsalted cajun seasoning
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Wash and trim the green beans.
Drizzle the green beans with olive oil. Add the garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix.
Wrap 12-15 green beans in a piece of bacon. Place the green bean bundle, seam down, on a wire baking rack placed on top of an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. (This will make for a really easy clean up!)
Bake the green bean bundles for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the bacon is crispy. The cook time will vary depending on how big your green beans are and thick your bacon slices are.
If you wish, turn the oven on high broil for the last couple of minutes to get the edges of the beans and bacon extra crisp.

A Post By: Michael Gallo
Last night was the 83rd MLB All-Star Game. I invited a friend who is a lady over (just like Super Tuesday, she will remain anonymous) and started work on a Rolling Rock sixer. I was hoping that the AL could pull of a win so that my Yankees could have home field advantage in the World Series. Unfortunately, I got something a little different. This is a diary of the events that transpired that evening. I wrote this quickly, there WILL be errors. Get over it.
7:02 p.m. CST – Ryan Braun is literally the first thing I see when I turn on the television. This forces me to start the entire night with a bad taste in mouth. Just months ago Ryan Braun was a disgraced baseball player, a man guilty of cheating in such a clean sport that he was to miss half the baseball season. Now, almost overnight, the PED scandal has dissipated and he's an all-star. This is truly the United States of Second Chances. He is the American Dream. Get caught, rock and roll, carry on. 'Murica.
7:06 – After announcing a National League lineup full of people I don't care about, they announce the American League. They start with manager Ron Washington who comes trotting out at a pace generally exhibited by senior citizens. I can't help but smile; Ron Washington truly looks like the physical embodiment of a crack addict. Ron Washington could be a character on the TV show The Wire. When Hollywood screenwriters write crack addict into their script, they always cross their fingers praying and hoping that they will be able to cast Ron Washington. I also wonder if Josh Hamilton and RON-RON ever go on insane binges in Arlington. I would.
7:26 – After a terrible National Anthem performance (one that consisted mainly of a guy reading off of his hand, and holding the microphone in such a way that I find it highly likely he has spent time in prison), Fox cuts to Chipper Jones in the dugout. Chipper has enough chewing tobacco in his mouth to make three mortal men impotent. All of a sudden some weird, dormant part of my brain sparks and comes back to life. I have an overwhelming craving for chewing tobacco. At this point I have two options: get chewing tobacco, or find heroin. Someone call Ron Washington.
7:29 – Having Chipper Jones on the screen apparently prompted this conversation in the Fox control room:
Director: Chipper? Shit, it's his last all-star game, do we have anything with him in it?
PA: Yeah, that segment with him and Andrew McCutchen dancing with cats.
Director: Eh, not yet, anything else?
PA: A really bad pre-game speech…
Director: Perfect, run it.
Fox plays a snippet of Chipper Jones giving one of the most uninspired pregame speeches I have ever seen. Ever. And I played on a youth soccer team that went 0-16 over the course of two years. Chipper was monotone, the audience was unresponsive. It seemed like a speech given by an orderly to all the old people in a retirement home.
7:31 – It's at this point that I realize Verlander is fucking shit up. For whatever reason, he lacks composure, accuracy, and interest. He walks batters and gives up multiple hits to multiple fat Hispanics. Not that that's a bad thing…
7:36 – God has mercy on the souls of the AL and stops the bleeding. In the top of the first Verlander got spanked harder than a character in 50 Shades of Grey. Good thing the AL has 26 pitchers at their disposal (13 of which are from the Rangers).
7:45 – Royals "fans" chant Billy Butler's name while Cano bats, proving they don't get it. At this point, I wonder if they ever will.
7:47 – Josh Hamilton works a 1-1 count. I question his sobriety.
7:50 – Walmart shows a complicated commercial where a Steakhouse agrees to only cook Walmart beef for their customers. This makes no sense to me, as I liken it to a mom-and-pop ice cream parlor allowing Ben and Jerry's to prove that their ice cream tastes like real ice cream by selling it in their parlor. Yeah, no. After the oblivious customers finish, a Walmart executive comes out from behind a curtain and says, "you just ate Walmart beef!" If this ever happens to me, I'll promptly stand, pick up my plate and throw it against the wall. Next, I'll scream "FUCK THIS!" And gag myself until I empty the steak back onto their floor. Don't fuck with me when I'm eating. If I wanted a Walmart steak I'd start sifting through dumpsters. Shit, why am I so anti-Walmart beef?
7:51 – A Batman commercial comes on. I need new underwear.
8:00 – I think to myself, "wow this game is really flying!" Oh, wait. Two innings in an hour…never mind.
8:03 – A weird commercial with a handful of no-name baseball players prompts me to get on the "Action Team". I don't know who they are, or what the Action Team is. That, by definition, is an absolute failure of a commercial.
8:04 – A short Fox segment informs me that Robinson Cano is the "Ambassador of Smiles". Shit, I had no idea! How could you hate that? How could you find it in your impure, broken heart to boo the Ambassador of Smiles? I hope you have a hard time sleeping at night.
8:05 – Ken Rosenthal looks like a Hobbit wearing a bow tie. Someone get this guy the ring so he'll get the hell out of here.
8:11 – After a Miller Lite punch tab can commercial, the girl I'm with claims "that would work with any can". I can't argue until I try, so I use the point of a knife and drive it into the top of my can. It didn't work. Can't be the can, has to be the tool. I switch to a broken fork and drive it into the top of the can. It makes a weird noise and I nearly stab my own hand. I give up.
8:17 – DirecTV shows my favorite commercial on TV right now.
When they come back from commercial, Phil Schifly (sic) is in the stands. PHIL FUCKING SCHIFLY! Do you get this? Despite the fact I was 4 pints deep, I'm blown away by the fact that TV commercials are becoming reality.
8:20 – This score is unreal. 6-0 National League. In interleague play, the National League gets dominated worse than a Taiwanese girl scout troop speaking out against the Chinese government. What the hell is going on?
8:26 – At this point, there has to be a fair amount of embarrassment involved. Evident in Melky Cabrera reaching for Cano's hand after a homer and getting rejected. Even the Ambassador of Smiles is embarrassed.
8:30 – Matt Kemp is shown in a Fox feature with a mic on that makes him look super gay after he passionately fondles Melky Cabrera's head. I bet he appreciates this.
8:34 – Ryan Braun makes a catch that suddenly reminds me that every position has an all-star. Whoa…
8:40 David Wright's face (mostly eyebrows) makes me remember how much I hate the Mets. Those in-debt idiots.
8:43 The game hits the halfway point and maintains its embarrassing score. 8-0 That's a football score. Wait, hold on…doing some quick research…Oh…okay, definitely not a football score.
8:49 – Bryce Harper goes after a routine pop up and loses it in the sky. After an immature shrug and a visible display of defeat, he lets it drop harmlessly behind him. That's a clown play, bro.
9:02 – Chipper Jones sneaks a single by someone (Ian Kinlser I think…all the players are rotating per out now). Supposedly the second baseman lost it in a bunch of shirts? I call bullshit. Old-man-MLB conspiracy.
9:11 – Carlos Ruiz is wearing a catcher's mitt that's the size of a pizza paddle so he can catch R.A. Dickey's knuckleball…which all sounds like the plot to a dirty movie.
9:21 – Erin Andrews interviews Derek Jeter. I need new underpants. Again. She calls him "Mr. Jeter". "Mr. Jeter? That's my dad." – DFJ. Damn, he's smooth.
9:25 – Some lady that I don't recognize sings God Bless America. It makes me realize I know absolutely nothing about country music.
9:33 – After he pitches, Fox interviews RA Dickey. The interview doesn't accomplish much. Just like Fox. Or the American League.
9:37 – There's a hilarious commercial for The Campaign, a movie with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. Is this it? Is this Will Ferrell's revival? Lately his film career has looked like the American League in this blowout.
9:42 – Ford's slogan is "random acts of fusion". This sounds incredibly dangerous and most likely involves nuclear energy. For some reason, my notes say "Ryan Seacrest = gay". I don't think this is a groundbreaking theory.
9:45 – Chipper Jones sounds like he should be on CMT. Or in the Klan.
9:53 – My friend and I get into a heated argument about what it means to be pro-confederacy (after listening to Chipper's hick accent).
10:16 – With a score like this, this late in the game, Ron Washington is probably starting to wonder where in Westport he can score some crack.
10:19 – Billy Butler strikes out. That should silence the haters. Swings like that don't belong in the home run derby.
10:20 – I discover on Twitter that Royals "fans" yelled at Cano's family. The classiness continues.
10:24 – Right before the conclusion of the game, they show National League manager Tony La Russa. He looks like he died 4 years ago. In a post-game interview, he claims he misses the game but not the dugouts…that's like saying you miss commercial fishing but you don't like using bathrooms on boats.
10:27 – Awkward interview with MVP Melky Cabrera. Despite the fact that he played on the Yankees for a number of years, I had forgotten how bad his English is. It's bad. In the spirit of Bill Simmons, we play girlfriend/sister/mother with the two ladies standing next to him. We lose terribly. Mother and grandmother.
All in all, the game sucked. It was hard to watch. But you can file that under "typical All-Star Game".

Open House Announced for Future of Covington's IRS Site
Thu, 01/17/2019 - 15:44 RCN Newsdesk
The City of Covington announced an open-house to plan for the future of the Internal Revenue Service site located there.
During the current shutdown of the federal government, in its 27th day as of Thursday, most of the IRS employees who work at the site have not been able to report to work. That is a small glimpse of what is to come when the processing center shuts down permanently in September, a move announced by the federal government more than two years ago.
The City of Covington hopes to use the sprawling site, mostly occupied by a one-story office building and surface parking, for an attractive development.
The city contracted with Atlanta-based architecture and design firm Cooper Carry to find the best use for the 23 acres near the Ohio River.
On Thursday, Jan. 24, the city and consultants will host the public in a two-and-a-half hour open house to explain how residents and others could become involved in the process over the next few months.
The project is named the Covington Central Riverfront Strategic Master Plan, the city announced Thursday.
"For the last couple of years, Covington has been saying, the IRS is closing in 2019. Well, 2019 is here," City Manager David Johnston said in a statement. "We hired a consultant, and we're moving steadily to establish a conceptual plan. But first we want to hear what our residents and businesses think."
The open house will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center at Madison Avenue and Rivercenter Boulevard.
It will begin with a 10- to 20-minute presentation by Cooper Carry.
Cooper Carry will then station members of its team at a half-dozen tables to discuss aspects of the study, including urban design and land use considerations, economic development and marketing opportunities, public outreach, and conveyance, which is the legal process of gaining development rights from the federal government.
Cooper Carry's work is expected to take 10 months with a heavy focus on public engagement. This will include interviews with selected stakeholders, neighborhood workshops called "charrettes", and a device rarely used in Northern Kentucky called civic dinners. Cooper Carry's team and the city will recruit people from neighborhoods and interest groups to host the dinners, which are designed to foster intimate, thoughtful and low-key discussions, a news release said.
Mayor Joe Meyer urged everybody who lives and/or works in Covington engage in the IRS site discussion.
"Covington's future is tied to the development of this site," Meyer said. "From our ability to pay for services to downtown's energy to jobs for our residents, this project will impact nearly every facet of Covington."
Interest in the site is already national in nature.
Johnston said he's heard that developers across the country are enthralled by the potential of 23 acres just a block from a major river in a large metropolitan area. And industry publications like MLex US TaxWatch (owned by a global business newswire) have been closely following the federal government's process for closing the facility.
Cooper Carry has assembled a team of consultants, including a real estate firm with extensive experience dealing with the federal government on IRS properties.
Johnston, who said the 1960s-era "Flat Top" would likely be torn down, said the city has no preconceived notions of what should go on the irregularly shaped site, which is bound by West Third Street, West Rivercenter Boulevard, and Washington Street to the north, Madison Avenue to the east, West Fourth Street to the south, and the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge ramp and Johnson Street to the west.
The goals are to offset an estimated $1.2 million loss in payroll tax revenue at City Hall, and to use the site to integrate the different neighborhoods touched byt he site.
The site is adjacent to the Northern Kentucky Convention Center and sits across the street from the Ohio River floodwall. It's also within a few blocks of numerous key Covington areas, including the RiverCenter complex, the Madison Avenue downtown corridor, the hotel district near Interstate 75, MainStrasse Village, the Roebling Point Business District, and the Mutter Gottes neighborhood.
"This a big piece of land in a critical area, and we have a rare opportunity to design something that will not only contribute to the city economically but also tie the city together and give it a focal point," Johnston said. "It's going to be fascinating to see the public and all the players come together to create a plan that will shape Covington for the rest of its existence."
Johnston cautioned that it will be years before the site is developed, given the long process of closing and mothballing the facility, transferring ownership, and designing its use, not to mention construction.
"But we need to start now," he said.
