". . . Personal rage, vindictiveness, and partisan malice"
Last week, House Speaker Mark Eves filed his long-awaited lawsuit in United States District Court against Gov. Paul LePage, alleging that the governor "intentionally broke federal law" by threatening to withhold over $500,000 in public funds to Good Will-Hinckley in order to force the firing of the Democratic leader as the organization's president.
In a written statement, Eves said that LePage acted out of "personal rage, vindictiveness, and partisan malice" in a secret handwritten note to the GW-H board chair threatening retaliation for hiring Eves. The loss of public dollars would have resulted in further loss of $2 million in matching private dollars, effectively forcing the school to close.
"[LePage] was willing to risk the future of hundreds of students to get his way," said Eves in a statement on July 30. "And he was willing to override the careful decision of a private organization concerning who it wanted to be its President. Because of the Governor's threat, the school was forced to fire me without any cause."
The suit alleges that the governor violated Eves' First Amendment rights of free speech, free association and political affiliation in order to punish the House Speaker for his positions on education, energy and taxation. The suit also claims that the governor violated Eves' 14th Amendment rights to be "free from unreasonable government interference in his private employment as well as his right to due process in the termination of his employment contract."
The suit aims to force LePage to withdraw his threat to GW-H and to "cease using his authority to illegally retaliate against Eves or any other Maine legislators or people."
Eves also seeks monetary restitution to compensate for his loss of wages, earning power and other damages. The complaint clarifies that the compensation is being sought from LePage "solely in his individual and personal capacities and not in his official capacity." The job would have paid $120,000 a year and GW-H has agreed to pay Eves a $30,000 settlement for breaching the contract.
On June 9, Good Will-Hinckley announced its unanimous decision to hire Eves after a nine-month nationwide search to replace outgoing GW-H President Glenn Cummings, who is also a former Democratic House Speaker. In a statement, the GW-H board cited Eves' 15 years of experience as a behavioral health counselor working with at-risk children, as well as administrative experience working for behavioral healthcare provider Sweetser and his policy and leadership experience in the Legislature. However, following GW-H's announcement of Eves' hiring, Gov. LePage sent a letter to the institution expressing "serious concerns" about Eves' qualifications due to his opposition to the charter school funding model.
The 125-year-old Fairfield institution opened the charter school Maine Academy of Natural Sciences (MeANS) in 2013, which receives funding from other school districts where its students reside through the state's charter school formula. However, the new state budget, which LePage vetoed and Eves supported, includes a mechanism to fund charter schools through a state pool of money that won't deprive local schools of funding.
LePage wrote that Eves was a "strident charter school opponent" and is "backed by union bosses who consistently put partisan politics over the best interest of Maine students." Describing himself as a "former at-risk youth," LePage said Eves' skills in conflict resolution, leadership, negotiation and reconciliation were "sadly deficient." The governor also accused the board of "unabashed political patronage" in selecting Eves because the House Speaker's staff assistant Bill Brown is on the MeANS board and Democratic Appropriations Committee member Rep. Erik Jorgensen (D-Portland) is a member of the GW-H board. GW-H has stated that both individuals recused themselves from the hiring process and that that the process was "apolitical."
Eves' court complaint notes that GW-H's board chairman Jack Moore is a Republican who has contributed to the campaigns of Republicans Sen. Susan Collins and Rep. Bruce Poliquin. The suit alleges that after the announcement of Eves' hiring, the governor then sent a secret message to Moore threatening to withhold funding to the school unless it fired Eves. Moore has since confirmed the existence of the note, but has not produced it.
The suit states that on June 22, "Eves's lawyer communicated with LePage's Chief Counsel and requested that LePage withdraw his threat against the Hinckley School to withhold over $500,000 unless it fired Eves because that threat violated Eves's clearly established First Amendment rights." However, Eves' attorney David Webbert states that LePage's chief legal counsel replied that he refused. The school ended up firing the Speaker without cause on June 24.
For his part, the governor has openly admitted that he forced Eves' firing. In several statements and comments to reporters, LePage has argued that the House Speaker is unqualified not only because he opposed charter schools, but also because he lacks the same education qualifications and experience as previous GW-H presidents Cummings and Richard Abramson. However, as Webbert argues in the complaint, Cummings also opposed charter schools during his term as House Speaker and Abramson vocally supported Eves' hiring.
Eves' lawyer argues that the governor's opposition to Eves stemmed more from political disagreements than concerns about his professional qualifications and cited several previous negative remarks about the House Speaker as evidence.
Webbert further argues that the governor's justification for his action "directly contradicted his practice of hiring unqualified political allies." For instance, in 2014, the governor promoted his senior policy advisor Tom Desjardin to the post of education commissioner. Prior to that, Desjardin had been an historian for the Maine Department of Conservation. In 2011, LePage appointed his then-22-year-old daughter Lauren LePage as his assistant for an annual salary of $41,000 plus $15,000 per year in employee benefits. The suit notes that despite the fact that she resided in the Blaine House with her father, she also received a $10,000 housing stipend. In 2012, the governor then hired his brother-in-law, Jody Ledoux, to be the director of Administrative Services for the now-defunct State Planning Office for an annual salary of $68,577.
In 2011, LePage hired Dr. Sheila Pinette as Maine Center for Disease Control director for a salary of $188,000 to oversee 420 employees and a $132 million annual budget. At the time, critics complained that Pinette's only experience was as a self-employed primary care physician with no background in public health policy. The suit alleges that she was politically connected to LePage through his political allies Jennifer Duddy and former Maine Heritage Policy Center Director Tarren Bragdon. In February, Pinette stepped down from the CDC after the Department of Health and Human Services was forced to settle a civil lawsuit for $165,000 with two whistleblowers who accused her and other CDC officials of harassment and shredding public documents. Pinette was later transferred to a newly created job in the department called "chief health officer."
Finally, in 2014 the Department of Health and Human Services announced the appointment of former right-wing activist Sam Adolphsen to the position of deputy commissioner of finance, which oversees the departments's $3.2 billion budget - about 40 percent of the entire state budget. Adolphsen, a 2008 graduate of Husson College, previously worked on the Maine Senate Republican Committee election campaign before he was hired by the Maine Heritage Policy Center. Adolphsen was first hired at DHHS as "director of strategic development," which oversaw the $925,000 contract with notorious right-wing consultant Gary Alexander to produce a study on the state's welfare programs. The contract was eventually dropped when it was revealed that it contained rampant plagiarism, but not before the state had already paid out over $450,000. In 2010, LePage offered Alexander the job of DHHS commissioner, but he reportedly turned it down because it didn't pay enough.
Webbert asserts that the governor's alleged blackmail in the Eves case is part of a "well-known pattern of using his powers as governor to bully and intimidate anyone who dares to disagree with him."
In January, the governor threatened to withhold funding to the Maine Community College System to force the resignation of President John Fitzsimmons for not supporting one of the governor's pet projects. Also in January, LePage refused to approve $418,000 in funding to the Attorney General's Office during a feud with AG Janet Mills. In March, he then withheld $4,000 in funding to the Maine Human Rights Commission in retribution for denying the governor's request to reconsider its ruling that Moody's Diner discriminated against a former employee on religious grounds.
Most recently, Democrats have called for an independent probe into allegations that the governor forced the firing of World Acadian Congress President Jason Parent by threatening to withhold $500,000 in state funding to the organization. At least one board member is accusing the governor of retaliating against Parent for presenting the governor's former opponent Democratic Mike Michaud with a World Acadian Congress vanity license plate. The LePage administration vehemently denies the allegations.
In his statement, Eves argues that if LePage is not held personally accountable for his executive abuse of power, then it will set a precedent for future retaliations against other elected representatives who disagree with him.
"Gov. LePage's continuing abuses of power for partisan purposes threaten to destroy the ability of Maine's citizen legislature to serve its vital constitutional function as an independent check on the power of the executive branch," said Eves. "In summary, I bring this suit to seek justice for my own family, and also for every Maine family. I bring this suit to make sure that in the future every Maine citizen, legislator, and private organization will feel safe opposing the Governor's bad policies without fear that the Governor will use the money and power of their government to go after their family and livelihood."
The governor's office did not respond to a request for comment. However, following the announcement of the lawsuit, LePage doubled down on his rhetoric and accused Eves of being "a plant by the unions to destroy charter schools."
"And when the biggest enemy of charter schools starts to run one, I fear that he's going to destroy it purposefully and I just couldn't stand aside," LePage told WGAN radio host Ken Altshuler. "Listen, it's just like one time I stepped in ... when a man was beating his wife. Should I have stepped in? Legally? No, but I did, and I'm not embarrassed about doing it."
When asked about the possibility of impeachment for his actions, LePage replied that if the people don't want him he'll just leave. However, he claimed that out of the state's 1.3 million people only four have written letters asking him to resign.
"I also have about 5,000 people that say don't give up," the governor added. "Not only Maine people, but American people are starving for leaders that are honest and straightforward. It may not be politically correct, but honest. And that's why you're seeing [Republican Presidential candidate] Donald Trump, which like everybody else scares me. But Donald Trump's leading in the polls because he says it the way it is and people are dying for that kind of honesty. Now, is it politically correct? No. Am I politically correct? No, God forbid I ever become."

Blind Dates (2013)
Levan Koguashvili, Georgia
Sandro is a forty-something teacher and still lives with his parents, who constantly meddle in his private life. He shows little interest in the blind dates his friend Iva pressures him to go on. On an outing to the Black Sea, he falls in love with the hairdresser Manana. When her husband Tengo is released from jail early, Sandro's predicament takes on absurd dimensions. He gets caught up in wild family disputes and feels compelled to move Natia, pregnant with Tengo's child, into his parents' home. Wrong conclusions and misunderstandings are the driving force of this melancholy comedy, in which everyone meddles with everything but no one really listens, which only leads to yet further confusion. When in doubt, they all argue together with true ferocity, the situation invariably ending in intense outbursts. Levan Koguashvili's second feature is thus in keeping with the best traditions of Georgian cinema. The narrative
tone stays calm, as the events come thick and fast. Unsentimental, with various ellipses and allusions, and shot with wonderful colour compositions and an incredible feel for space, architecture and cityscapes, the film ultimately attains extraordinary profundity.

49ers sign another point guard for 2010-11
New Charlotte 49ers men's basketball coach Alan Major hasn't wasted any time bringing in new players.
Officially on the job just over a month, Major signed his second recruit on Wednesday - 6-foot-4, 195-pound point guard Luka Voncina from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Voncina, who played club ball for Union Olimpija and averaged 14.4 points and 5.4 assists primarily as a point guard, picked Charlotte over Virginia Tech.
"Luka will give us added depth at the guard spot and brings a terrific basketball IQ as a player," said Major. "His basketball experience in Europe gives his game a maturity above his age."
Union Olimpija won the junior National Championship this year and Voncina is also playing for the senior team, which competes in Euroleague.
"I heard great things about coach Major and players he coached before. I see a great opportunity for me to become a better player and help the team get to a NCAA Tournament," Voncina said.
Voncina joins DeMario Mayfield, a transfer from Georgia, in Major's first class. Mayfield, a 6-5 guard, must sit out the 2010-11 season and has three years of eligibility remaining.
Baseball claims share of Atlantic 10 title
The Charlotte 49ers clinched at least a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference regular season baseball title in a 5-0 shutout of visiting Saint Louis in a rain-shortened game Sunday to sweep the weekend series at Hayes Stadium.
It was Charlotte's second shutout of the season, second in the last five home games, and the 49ers tied the school record with 29 home wins in a season. Charlotte is now 35-13, 18-6 in conference play. The 49ers have four games remaining - a nonconference game Tuesday at North Carolina and a three-game series next weekend at A-10 rival Richmond.
Coupled with a loss by Rhode Island on Sunday, Charlotte holds a three-game lead over URI and Xavier with three games remaining in the regular season. One Charlotte win or a loss by the Rams and Musketeers each gives Charlotte an outright conference title, the top seed and a first-round bye in the league's tournament in two weeks.
49ers baseball rallies to top Saint Louis

Q&A with Charlotte 49ers coach Alan Major
The Observer is running a story on Saturday looking at coach Alan Major's first month on the job as head of the Charlotte 49ers program. Here is a Q&A with Major on a variety of issues.
Q: The team went almost a month with no one on staff aside from (director of basketball operations) Rob Perron. How did you think they handle the transition period?
Major: I think an unbelievable amount of credit goes to Rob Perron. For more than a three week period, I think what he did was phenomenal and I don't even know what all he did. I haven't been in that position before where I was the only guy around and had to probably field a boatload of calls. I can't imagine. Then checking the kids academically and then managing kids' emotions. He deserves a medal for it. He's the guys kids were coming to during that period - a guy who was frustrated or just need to vent. Change never makes full sense to kids because they develop attachments. Rob understood because he was here and as a result it was a no-brainer to keep him because of his dedication and commitment to this program.
Q: What will Alan Major-type basketball look like next season?
Major: We're still putting that together. I think we'll be a team very committed to the defensive end. We want to develop an identity on the defensive end and want to build that mentality that we are a team that is tough to score against. That type of helping, and toughness and unselfishness on defense often times spills over to the offensive end. We'd love to score off our defense as much as we can. Then on the offensive end I hope we can have a team that has an inside-out mentality. I think we can have a base of being able to throw the ball inside.
Q: Do you have objectives recruiting-wise that you hope to address for next season?
Major: We're looking at that. It's tricky because timing-wise we came in April 12 and the recruiting period started on Friday the 16th. It ended on Wednesday, April 21. It was during those days when you could do off-campus recruiting. That Friday-Sunday major AAU events were held that we are prohibited from going to in the spring. So basically you had to catch kids on Friday morning or on that Monday when they got back to school. It looked like six days but it wasn't really. In addition to trying to bolster the roster for next year we're also trying to knock down doors in the 2011 class and rising seniors. Kids have been pretty good, they understand there has been a coaching change. We're just trying to knock some doors down and be ready for the month of July.
Q: Give us a run down on your three selections as assistant coaches (Ryan Odom, Orlando Vandross and Desmond Oliver).
Major: Outside of the basketball part, all three guys have one thing in common - they are great husbands and they are great fathers. I know those guys and the way they treat their families, that is going to spill over into this office and the way they treat our guys. I've known Orlando the longest. I met him back in 1998 at the Final Four. Orlando is a phenomenal friend. Recruiting-wide he has a tremendous grip in the Northeast, which is advantageous to us. I also know that being that long at one place (Boston University), he has had opportunities to go and he showed tremendous loyalty. I don't know how many times you hear of assistants these days being any place longer than three or four years. We will never have to have a conversation about academics being important because he was at he was at a big-time academic institution.
Desmond was at Rhode Island back when I was at Xavier so we actually got to coach against each other. He knows the league and knows a lot of the programs. He was also at Georgia for four years and has a great feel for the Southeast. We've already tapped into that with DeMario (Mayfield, who is transferring from Georgia).
Ryan I've known in the last year or so. He has an unbelievable pedigree with his dad (Dave Odom) and was at Virginia Tech for seven years and there again, there is that loyalty. He has a great of the Carolinas and Virginia with recruiting. We hope that we have a pretty good balance. We would love our base to be Charlotte but we felt we needed some arms to reach out to some other areas.
Q: Any progress on next season's non-conference schedule?
Major: We're getting there. That was one of the many things we had to address. Between myself and working with Rob Perron a little bit, we've been making some calls. We have time on our side and we're not in a mad scramble mode, yet. We got about two or three more games to go. The game against Tennessee is in place and I believe it's in December at Bobcats Arena. A game like that is a way to kind of pick the campus up and show it off someplace else.
49ers getting Georgia transfer
DeMario Mayfield, a 6-5 combo guard, is transferring to the Charlotte 49ers from Georgia, the school announced Tuesday.
Mayfield asked for his release from the Bulldogs recently. He visited Charlotte's campus two weekends ago.
Mayfield will sit on the 2010-11 season in accordance to NCAA rules. He will have three years of eligibility left.
Mayfield, from Carnersville, Ga., was named the Class AAA Georgia Player of the Year in 2009 at Franklin County High by the Georgia Sportswriter Association. As a high school senior, he averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.
Mayfield asked for and received his release from Georgia in March. Mayfield played in 18 of 31 games this past season and only 6 of 18 SEC league games.
"I'm looking forward to bringing a lot of excitement to Charlotte with my hard work," said Mayfield in a statement. "I'm going to give Charlotte my all. I want to come in and just work and build my way back to earning more playing time. The coaching staff made me feel like I was already part of the team. As a group, they just made me feel welcome."
Mayfield is the first player signed by new 49ers coach Alan Major.
"We're extremely excited to DeMario join the 49ers basketball family," Major said. "He gives us good size and skill at the wing position. With a year to sit out, he'll have a chance to expand his game and then have three years remaining." -- David Scott

Part of the reason many people pick up exercising only to drop it a few days after is that of a lack of stimulation. Walking on a treadmill inside a fluorescently lit gym consistently is a bigger mental challenge than a physical one.
Fortunately, the great outdoors provides an excellent substitute. Plan to go on a hike and enjoy the beautiful outdoors, while also burning a lot of calories. Trials also provide a narrative for your exercise: keep going until you reach your destination.
Be sure to wear the appropriate footwear, dress in layers if it's cool, and pack some healthy energy-packed snacks and water to keep you sustained.
An alternative to scheduling certain days or times to walk is to simply commit to walking as much as possible. For optimal health, it's recommended to walk around 3 miles a day. These three miles add up to around 360 calories burned at ease!
Unfortunately, most people are stuck in sedentary lifestyles that only put them in a constant state of transition from a car seat to a chair. Three miles isn't a difficult goal to hit, especially if broken up periodically throughout the day. You could walk to work, during your lunch break, and then again in the evening to decompress. Walking not only puts your fat burning on auto-pilot, it can also help your mind to process the day and recalibrate.
Part of eating clean means knowing what to eat, what not to eat, but the vast majority is building the discipline to consciously and consistently make good nutritional decisions.
Knowing what to eat is simple. Aim for high-value foods such as avocados, organic meats, leafy greens, veggies, and drink plenty of water.
Knowing what not to eat is pretty simple, but very hard. Sugar is proven to be nearly as addicting as most drugs. The worst part is that it is not only socially acceptable to binge on sugar, it's openly advertised as being OK by big corporations. Eliminate high sugar foods, sodas, fried foods, and processed meats from your diet and you will be feeling great and losing weight.
Building the discipline to consistently make good nutritional decisions is the hardest part. Discipline is a muscle like any other, and it must be trained. It's important to visualize a goal and create a frame of reference every day that helps you to stay motivated.
The slow carb diet is a phenomenal way to allow your body to burn its existing fat deposits. In his book focused on exercise and health optimization, the 4 Hour Body, Tim Ferriss explains how the slow carb diet is an easy way to start losing weight at a healthy rate.
You essentially limit the number of carbs you have until later meals. For example, in the morning you can have a nice two eggs + egg white omelet with an avocado. Then for lunch, you can have a grilled chicken breast with broccoli. Then, for a post-workout or mid-afternoon snack, you can have a protein shake. For dinner, you can have a grilled tilapia with a small bit of pasta or rice.
Your body processes nutrients differently, and this order helps your body to prioritize the energy it currently has rather than storing it in the form of fat.
Essential oils have risen to popularity because of their wide variety of uses. They are proven to be able to help with everything from anxious moods to food cravings.
For the scope of this article, you're going to want to pay attention to the essential oils that help food cravings. It's important to understand the difference between a food craving for taste, and a food craving for nutrition. Chances are if you are fiending for a scoop of Rocky Road ice cream (my personal favorite indulgence), you're likely not looking for sustenance. These cravings, as you know, are likely the cause of a few extra pounds we carry around.
Certain essential oils make the self-disciplining process much easier.
Peppermint essential oil helps to cleanse the lymphatic system and has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps with sluggish digestion.
Sports are an awesome way of keeping your mind engaged while burning an insane number of calories.
Be sure to pick a sport that is as mentally fulfilling as it is physically engaging. One of my personal favorites is pick-up basketball. It's fun, competitive, allows you to spend time with friends, make new friends, and burn over 500 calories an hour!
There are also some more individualistic sports that make for great exercise. It's important to only compete with yourself, and aim at improving your baseline state. Swimming, for example, can burn around 400 to 800 calories an hour!
Yoga seems to be a cure-all for a wide variety of ailments, as well as a great form of exercising. The consistent stretching and lengthening of the spine help to reverse years of bad posture developed from slouching and sitting in chairs for most of your work life.
Yoga, hot yoga, in particular, is also phenomenal for weight loss. Just 30 minutes of yoga can burn 200 calories! Not only are you burning calories, but you're also stretching out your muscles, becoming more flexible, helping your mind to decompress stresses, and strengthening up your stabilizing muscles that will help you to go through your day with a better posture and overall better mood.
A fluffier dog can make a wonderful addition to your life, as well as keep you motivated to consistently exercise. Dogs are full of energy and need to be walked, which coincidentally is a perfect way to lose weight and be healthier. Having a dog in your life can also help to improve your mood, reducing the stress chemicals that we often try to combat by eating more food.
If adopting a dog isn't realistic for you, you could also consider fostering a pup for a few weeks until it finds a home, or even signing up for a dog walking app and get paid to take dogs on walks!
Intermittent fasting (IM) is a phenomenal way to lose weight naturally because it simply limits the window in which you can snack and eat. The premise behind intermittent fasting is to go for an extended period in your day where you are not eating, and this allows your body to use the energy it already has before seeking external sources. It does require training your body and mind to be able to handle consistently, but once you get into the habit of IM you will see significant improvements in your weight.
Intermittent fasting isn't so much a diet, as it is a dieting pattern. You are able to pick which times of day you'd like to fast, and which window you'd like to eat. My personal favorite is to capitalize on the 8 hours window of not eating when you're asleep, and carrying it over for another 8 hours. If you're going to bed at 10 PM and waking up at 6 AM, you would then have your first meal at 2 PM.
Wake up earlier plays perfectly into the active lifestyle that helps us to lose weight naturally. It's not an easy habit to build, but once you can consistently wake up early you will see tremendous improvements in your overall mood and health. Waking up early is one of my favorite habits because it allows you to run your day on your terms. For example, if I wake up at 5 AM, it's likely that all my friends and clients are still sleeping. This gives you a solid few hours before the emails and texts coming pouring in, and these few hours can be used for everything from exercise to meditation.
Your body also burns more calories when it's awake, so your metabolic burn rate significantly increases, helping you automatically burn calories!
Standing up seems to be one of the most well-guarded secrets of the productive world. Great people like Winston Churchill, Benjamin Franklin, and Ernest Hemingway consistently wrote while standing up.
One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to stand as much as possible. If you have a stand-up desk at work, opt to use that over your normal desk. Standing up helps us burn up to around 50 calories an hour. It doesn't seem like much, but it adds up. If you're standing for just three hours a day for 5 days, you're burning around 750 calories. And if you carry this habit over the year, you'll be burning around 30,000 calories, which is about 8 pounds of fat.
Keep in mind that the hardest part of losing weight is forming the discipline to be able to consistently execute your plans for weight-loss. The strategies in this article will help to build your discipline by getting you involved in fun and engaging activities. In order to make full use of them, diversify your strategy and focus on only one habit at a time.
This is a very well written blog and contains many useful and easy ways to lose weight naturally.
nice listing. Waking up early and morning workout will definitely helps to loose weight.
Recently i published an article about benefits of morning yoga. If you have time make sure you check it.


Why do we love watching murder mysteries?
A mutilated corpse is found at the bottom of the staircase, and the only other person in the house is the dead woman's husband. Does that mean he killed her, or that she was the victim of an unfortunate accident that ruined his life too? This sardonic riddle-like question haunts The Staircase, a 2004 French true crime miniseries currently trending on Netflix—and I've been hooked for the last couple of weekends.
Before the drama of The Staircase, the binge-worthy adventures of spiritual leader Osho, his sidekick Ma Anand Sheela, and their orange-clad cohorts enthralled us in the addictive Wild Wild Country. Here, orgies, conspiracy theories, bio-terrorism, attempted murder, power-hungry second-in commands and mass poisoning vied for viewers' attention. Just prior to that came the documentary that perhaps heralded the golden age of true crime drama, Making A Murderer—which explored the exoneration and then conviction of Wisconsin native Steven Avery. Some even attribute the rise of true crime dramas to the podcast Serial, journalist Sarah Koenig's gripping investigation into the 1999 disappearance and subsequent murder of Korean-American high school student, Hae Min Lee, from Baltimore. The common thread? All the stories wove an intricate web of deceit, lies and unspeakable crimes, while the persistent question of 'did he or didn't he?' lingered throughout, sometimes even after the conclusion of a show.
Isn't the horrific news that we're assaulted to on a daily basis in our realities enough to keep our minds occupied? Why do we spend our spare time binge watching true crime dramas? What is about horrific real life crime that draws us into its cold world? While it appears that the interest in true crime dramas has seen a rise in the last few years, the truth is that the human mind has always been intrigued by a gruesome mystery and what leads someone to commit it. Take the beleaguered curiosity about Jack the Ripper for instance, and the investigations his crimes still continues to spawn. But what really runs through mind of a true crime viewer? Vogue tries to get all the answers.
It has happened to the best of us—we come face to face with a morbid sight and find ourselves unable to peel our eyes away. Criminologist Scott Bonn explains the draw of violence and why shows about serial killers have such a wide audience. "The public's fascination with serial killers can be seen as a specific manifestation of its more general fixation on violence and calamity," he says, before going on to explain that watching these shows give us a jolt of adrenaline. While this may seem unbelievably blasé, the truth remains that adrenaline is addictive, and if sitting back and watching true crime dramas can give us voyeuristic thrill seekers a shot of the hormone without any effort, why wouldn't we be hooked to them? Another theory suggests fear can be habit-forming as well, and can result in the release of dopamine, the happy hormone. Between all the chemicals juicing up in our brains, we seem to be powerless to resist the draw of true crime, no matter how gruesome it is.
Women are more likely to be fans of true crime dramas, says a 2010 study by Social Psychological and Personality Science. And that's not very surprising. We'd like to think we live in a world where men and women are equal, but the truth is, most women living in India are more wary of their safety than their male peers. Societal conventions, history and the fact that most true crime dramas feature women as victims, means the female gender is more anxious and fearful for its safety. Maybe learning about true crime simply appeals to our survival instinct. The studies are definitely morbid, but they suggest that women are drawn to these type of stories as a subconscious way of preparing for real-life threats; a rehearsal of sorts, so we're always prepared in case of any untoward emergency.
Maybe we're all just sadists?
Can't wait to start bingeing on your next true crime story? Here are some options you can add to your watchlist.
This 13-episode long 2004 French television miniseries by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade follows the trial of author Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife, Kathleen Peterson. As the trial gets underway, the case gets murkier, and the murder theories and conspiracies get increasingly farfetched. While the series first released more than a decade ago, its sudden resurgence to popularity is due to its availability on Netflix.
A six-part docudrama series directed by Errol Morris, this show is based on the life of scientist Frank Olson, who participated in a secret government biological warfare programme. Touted as "one of the most original things you'll see all year" by Vanity Fair, we recommend it for its powerful mix of history and intrigue.
This nine-episode series is the second season of the true crime anthology American Crime Story (the first season was about the infamous OJ Simpson trial) and delves into the murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace by spree killer Andrew Cunanan. Watch it for its stellar cast (including Darren Criss, Édgar Ramírez and Penelope Cruz), and its fascinating storytelling.
A 2003 Collar Bomb Heist in Pennsylvania, presented by brothers Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass, tells the bizarre true story of the Pizza Bomber, a pizza delivery man named Brian Wells who literally blew up while in police custody for bank robbery.
This true crime television documentary series presents six cases of possible false confessions to murder allegations made towards the show's interviewees. It sheds light on the brutal means of police interrogation, which sometimes leads those charged to confess to crimes they never committed.

Als Reflextod (auch "Vagustod"; englisch ) wird ein tödlicher Kreislaufstillstand bezeichnet, der nach einer übermäßigen Reizung des Nervus vagus oder des Sinus caroticus eintritt. Meist lösen äußere Einflüsse die übermäßige Reizung aus. Diese wiederum kann reflektorisch einen Kreislaufstillstand bewirken (englisch ). Ein Reflextod kann beispielsweise beim Eintauchen in Wasser mit einer Temperatur <4 °C eintreten.

Physiologie und Pathologie
In der Gefäßwand des Sinus caroticus befinden sich Barorezeptoren, also Rezeptoren, die den Blutdruck im Blutgefäßsystem registrieren. Physiologisch reagieren die Pressorezeptoren auf Änderungen des arteriellen Blutdrucks, vor allem der Wandspannung. Bei einer Druckerhöhung werden nervale Impulse über den Ramus sinus carotici des Nervus glossopharyngeus (IX. Hirnnerv) über die Pars cardiorespiratoria des Nucleus tractus solitarii zum Kreislaufzentrum in der Medulla oblongata geleitet. Über den efferenten Schenkel des Reflexes, die Herzäste (Rami cardiaci) des Nervus vagus (X. Hirnnerv), werden reflektorisch die Herzfrequenz und der Blutdruck gesenkt. Dies nennt man den Karotissinusreflex (Karotissinusdruckversuch, auch Hering-Reflex, nach Heinrich Ewald Hering). Bei längerer Dauer kann dies zum Herzstillstand führen.

Des Weiteren wird ein Zusammenhang mit einigen Fällen des plötzlichen Kindstodes vor allem in Verbindung mit respiratorischen Ereignissen vermutet. Generell wird eine Häufung im pädiatrischen Bereich dokumentiert. So zum Beispiel bei Fremdkörper-Bronchoskopien.

Project Daniel was a 2003 Israeli project, commissioned to assess the threat to the nation of Israel from other states in the Middle East, drawing particular attention to Iran, with Iran's nuclear program in mind. It was prepared by a high-powered team of Israeli foreign policy and military experts. The report was submitted to Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, and was discussed between Israel, the United States, and NATO.

It surmised that the "principal existential threat to Israel at the present time is a conventional war mounted against it by a coalition of Arab states and/or Iran".

Members

The six members of the Project Daniel board were Professor Louis René Beres and Doctor Rand H. Fishbein (a former Special Assistant for National Security Affairs to Senator Daniel K. Inouye) from the United States, Naaman Belkind, former assistant to the Israeli Deputy Minister of Defense for Special Means, Major General Professor Yitzhak Ben Yisrael, Doctor Adir Pridor, former head of Military Analysis, and Colonel Yoash Tzidon, from Israel.

Summary of recommendations

The project discussed the danger from 'weapons of mass destruction' (WMDs), including nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, particularly as Israel has such a high concentration of population.

The recommendations of the report were that Israel should do anything possible to prevent an anti-Israeli coalition from being formed, and from that coalition gaining control of WMDs.  It suggested Israel should retain the option of carrying out preemptive strikes, describing them as 'anticipatory self-defense'.  The strikes would be a combination of air strikes and selective covert operations by ground forces at certain critical (and publicly unnamed) locations.

It also recommended that Israel should retain its current policy of deliberate ambiguity regarding its nuclear status.  If, at a later date, other states in the Middle East (particularly Iran) were to acquire nuclear technology that Israel perceived as a threat, then the Daniel Project recommended limited disclosure of Israel's nuclear weapons capacity, as a deterrent.

The final recommendation was that Israel should provide constructive support to the United States' War on Terrorism, particularly in counter-terrorism operations.

Surgery Hurts
Four hours ago I was driven home from Smilow to Wilton. As noted, the surgery began around 2 pm yesterday and ended four hours later. Basal cell carcinoma removed from an area behind my left ear, and skin from my left shoulder grafted onto the half-dollar-sized vacancy. As we speak there's a drainage tube inserted within the shoulder wound. It feels like I've been stabbed, and the knife was never pulled out. Or like I've been shot. A guy who recently went through something similar says "it's the anesthesia that you really need to recover from." I tried writing a couple of things at the hospital and again after I got home, but my system was too dopey. I kept nodding off and coming back. Mobility-wise I am Kharis, the mummy. This might be my lightest filing day since launching HE 14 years ago.

"Yeah, But I Won't Be Here"
The headline quote was allegedly voiced by Donald Trump in early 2017, when senior officials tried to explain the ominous nature of the burgeoning national debt (currently at $21 trillion), including a "hockey stick" spike sometime in the mid 2020s. In response, Trump allegedly noted that "the debt would reach a critical mass only after his possible second term in office." This according to a first-hand source who spoke to The Daily Beast's Asawin Suebsaeng and Lachlan Markay. Trump said "Yeah, but I won't be here."

I was under a strong anesthetic when the news broke yesterday about Kevin Hart hosting the Oscars, and today was mostly about states of woozy-groggy, pain medication, slipping in and out of the cave and not glancing at my reflection in a mirror of any kind.

I presume Hart is going to weather the pushback, but you can bet he'll be taken to task over the next several weeks. Thoughts?

Is France finally set for a cold winter this year?
Will this winter in France bring frosty mornings, snowflakes and ski weekends... or will it be another ridiculously mild one?
A German forecaster sparked excitement and a little nervousness by predicted that Europe will be hit by the coldest winter in a century this year.
But the reality is that if you're hoping to go ice skating on a frozen River Seine in Paris this winter then you can (probably) think again.
The first winter forecasts are out, and while they're pretty vague at best (winter doesn't start for two more months after all), the experts seem to agree that it won't be teeth-chatteringly cold all winter.
A forecaster with Météo France suggested the prediction by German counterpart Dominik Jung was a wind up.
In fact, meteorologists have predicted a rather mild season, with some even forecasting average temperatures to be up to one degree Celcius above seasonal norms.
Although it should at least be slightly colder than the last one.
"This winter will be more or less mild on the whole, but not as much as it has been over the last three years, especially last winter which was France's warmest since 1900," Régis Crépet, a meteorologist at Météo Consult told the Direct Matin newspaper.
He added that temperatures would likely be between 0.5C and 1C warmer than a typical winter.
"But there will be variations. We're expecting mild weather for around 70 percent of the season, with the other 30 percent containing potential surprises that could leave us with harsher conditions."
"January will see occasional cold and rainy spells, which will be beneficial for the ski resorts."
So perhaps that ice skating will be on the cards after all, if not on the Seine than at least somewhere in France.
National weather agency Météo France is yet to offer its seasonal forecast (it won't until the end of November), but it has also hinted that France will experience warmer temperatures.
It noted that for the beginning of winter, "northern Europe and the Mediterranean will be hotter than normal".
The winter in France, by definition, starts on December 21st and will run until March 19th.
Last year's mild winter meant bad news for France's ski resorts and contributed to the fact France lost its crown as the world's top skiing destination.
In recent days resorts in the Alps have had some dustings of snow raising hopes that unlike last year, the slopes should open on time in the late autumn.

Will the doctors refer me to another practitioner if they feel like surgery is not necessary?
Yes, our doctors will make a personalized assessment specific to your condition and provide recommendations for the most minimally invasive or conservative treatment options.
Are you a neurosurgeon or a neurologist? What's the difference between your office and a neurologist office?
BNA is a neurosurgical practice.
A medical doctor trained in surgery of the nervous system and who specializes in surgery on the brain and other parts of the nervous system is referred to as a neurosurgeon and sometimes called a brain or spine surgeon.
A neurologist is a doctor who treats patients suffering from conditions affecting the nervous system which encompasses the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.
Can I see a specific physician?
We just need to look at their schedule to find the next available appointment. If that is not soon enough, we will inform you of the next available appointment within the practice. Each of our doctors are trained in minimally invasive and complex spine and brain surgery and treat an extensive variety of spinal disorders.
I have multiple conditions, can you treat me?
Absolutely! Our surgeons treat all kinds of spinal disorders and after they have a chance to review your films they will be able to tell you exactly the right procedure that is perfectly tailored for you.
Can I have directions to the Avista, Lafayette, Boulder, Longmont, Platte Valley office?
How far out are you booking office visits, and how soon can I have surgery?
We have several locations and physicians. The date of your office visit will depend upon which surgeon you will see, which days they are holding clinic at which location, as well as the availability.
What do I have to do before my appointment?
You will need to bring the following items to your office appointment: x-rays, MRIs and CT scans, co-payment, your insurance card (List of accepted insurance) and photo ID. You will receive a link in an email which will direct you to Patient Portal to complete the required paperwork. Please bring the paperwork to your appointment. If you don't have access to a computer and it's your first appointment with BNA, please arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time or 15 minutes if it's your follow-up appointment.
Prior to surgery, you will be pre-registered at the facility where the surgery will take place. The facility will have a copy of the needed blood work, EKG and x-rays as ordered by the physician or PA. You will need to bring any radiology films (MRI, CT scan, x-rays) with you the day of surgery or it will be canceled. If you smoke, you need to stop smoking prior to surgery.
You need to stop all blood thinning medication prior to surgery. Aspirin and Plavix must be stopped 7 days prior to surgery. Motrin/Advil/Naproxyn/Naprosyn should be stopped 3 days prior to surgery. You should also stop herbal supplements 5 days prior to surgery. Make sure your primary doctor or cardiologist is aware of the plan to stop Aspirin/Plavix/Coumadin or Warfarin. You cannot eat or drink anything after midnight, this includes, food, water, gum, candy, lozenges, and coffee. All of this information is included in the surgical packet that you were given.
What am I supposed to do before my follow up appointment?
Please make certain that you obtained all of the tests that were ordered by your doctor and bring them with you to the appointment. If you need our help obtaining the results of these tests, we are happy to do so.
Do I have to have a consultation before I have surgery? Can this be done in the office?
Yes, all patients need to have a consultation before they can have surgery. Consultations can be done in the office. If patients have been admitted to the hospital or in the Emergency Department, the consult can happen in the hospital setting.
Do I have to have surgery if I come in?
Many patients that see us do not need surgery. Our doctors can often offer a solution to your problem that doesn't require surgery. If you do need surgery we will discuss your options and you will make the decision about whether to proceed with their recommendations or not.
How long before I can get scheduled for surgery?
That depends on the type of surgery you will have. We will work with you to find the right time for scheduling surgery. We book surgeries several months in advance for some patients and others proceed to surgery the same week. We try to work hard to do what's best for you.
My case is complex, why can't I see a doctor instead of a PA for my follow up?
Our PAs each have multiple years experience working in health care and neurosurgery. Sometimes the surgeons are scheduled for surgery and not available when a follow up visit should be scheduled. Also, it is our policy to determine which cases should be seen by a PA rather than a physician based on the complexity of the case and the experience the PAs have in seeing patients with certain conditions.
I was previously a patient of one of the BNA doctors, can I come and see another BNA doctor for a second opinion?
While each of our physicians are equally skilled and qualified, we understand that different dynamics contribute to the patient deciding to move forward with treatment. Our surgeons are more than happy to provide second opinions to patients who have seen another surgeon within our practice. However, your insurer will often not pay for a second opinion and therefore this may be an out of pocket expense for you payable BEFORE the second opinion visit.
I am a patient and want my friend/spouse/relative to see him. Is it possible to get an order for an MRI for them before they see the doctor?
Each case is unique and patients should have their films in hand at the initial appointment in order for the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis. If a referring physician has not ordered any films for you, we will have to take down some information and provide that to one of our doctors to determine if an MRI should be ordered and completed before your first appointment.
I live out of state OR I live at least four hours from all of your office locations. I would like to speak to a surgeon before I decide to fly or drive to you, what are my options?
We have a FREE MRI Review program for individuals who live a significant distance from any of our clinic locations. For the review process, you will need to provide us with a summary of your symptoms and a CD with recent (less than 6 months old) MRI. You may also submit an electronic form through our Web site and you will be contacted and provided with more information on the process.
When will I receive my new patient paperwork?
When you call to make an appointment, the appointment scheduler will email you a link, which will direct you to Patient Portal to complete the required paperwork. Please bring completed paperwork to your appointment, or arrive 30 minutes early to complete it. New patient paperwork is also available on the patient portal.
Do I have to complete a survey every time I come in?
BNA would greatly appreciate you spending a few minutes to complete any surveys. We pride ourselves on conducting clinical research to challenge the latest technologically advanced treatment options in order to benefit current and future patients.
What are my risks during this surgery? I take medication for high blood pressure. Will this be controlled during the surgery? What will happen during surgery?
We suggest that you bring all of your questions to your pre-surgery appointment where many of these questions may be answered when you are completing your consents. Your surgery packet contains details specific to the surgery you will have. Discharge instructions include how to prepare for surgery, what to expect after surgery, FAQs regarding specific procedures and instructions on how to care for your body after surgery.
After my surgery, how will the pain be controlled?

When should I expect my medical records?
We will distribute your medical records where directed within 72 business hours from the request date.
How do I arrange a deposition and how much does it cost?
You will have to obtain this information from the law firm that is requesting the deposition as they schedule depositions and charge rates determined by their office.
Do you do radiologic procedures (x-ray/MRI/CT) in your office?
We do not have the ability to conduct radiologic procedures in any of our offices. However, each of our offices is located on the campus of a hospital and per diagnosis from our office, we can arrange for you to have these films taken at a number of locations.
I have not had an MRI, do I need one to come in to see the doctor?
Most patients have had their MRIs prior to the visit which can make the visit more meaningful, but our doctors order MRIs for individuals who are patients as well. We are happy to see you and order the right tests.
Can I have the results of my MRI?
Our providers frequently order imaging tests such as MRIs and x-rays. We do not give out the results of these tests over the phone. They often require a thoughtful and time-consuming review that should be done in the context of a patient visit. We would ask that you schedule an appointment to go over these tests so that we might show them to you and try to answer your questions.
Why wasn't I invited to look at my MRI on the computer?
You are always welcome to review your MRI during an appointment. If the provider you meet with forgets to offer please feel free to ask.
I was never told about my images/films/CDs where they go after surgery?
Your images will be housed at the location where they were taken. Whatever films you provide to us will be on file at the BNA office location where you were seen. However, we cannot ensure the films we have are your most recent, or that they are a complete set, therefore it is recommended you go directly to the source who took the images.
Why haven't I heard back regarding my prescription?
It can often take 24 to 72 hours turnaround time from the first time the office is contacted until the prescription is called into the pharmacy because several of our physicians spend their day divided between clinic and the operating rooms. Please always plan ahead when a refill on a medication is required so that there is ample time for the physician team to respond in an adequate and timely fashion.
I was prescribed medication that I am allergic to.
Please call the prescribing doctor or doctor's representative for an appropriate prescription. If it was prescribed by one of our doctors, please let us know the medication name and any other medication allergies you may have and we will forward this information on to our provider and we will do our best to find a medication that will work for you. Please provide us with your preferred pharmacy information.
I am out of my pain meds and I don't have a primary care physician. I didn't have surgery with your office, can I get one more prescription until I find someone?
Although each case is handled on an individual basis, our office does not typically prescribe medications for patients unless they have had surgery and even in those cases the length of prescribing medications is often limited. We would recommend getting a PCP or a pain doctor to help with these situations before they become a problem.
What is your medication refill policy?
Discharge information is included in your surgery packet, as well as on our website, click here.
Will the hardware in my neck cause any problems at the airport when I go through security?
No, hardware in the body will not cause any problems when going through security.

When can I get my teeth cleaned? Do I need to be pretreated with an antibiotic?
Please follow this link to get more information.
YES, if you have dental work done within 24 months of the surgery.
We recommend avoiding routine dental prophylaxis and simple procedures for 3 months following a spinal fusion, but between 4 and 24 months we suggest antibiotic prophylaxis. After 24 months, you will not need antibiotic prophylaxis unless you have a compromised immune system, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, previous infection of a prosthetic joint or a spinal fusion, hemophilia, or malnourishment. The choice of antibiotic is a decision for you and your primary care doctor. Please contact their office for antibiotics or further advice. We are happy to discuss this with them should they need to contact us. If you have a significant immune compromise, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, history of previous infected spinal fusions or joint replacements, hemophilia or malnourishment then we suggest antibiotic prophylaxis for ALL future dental procedures regardless of timing, but this again is something that needs to be resolved through your primary care physician and not your neurosurgeon. If there is any confusion please have them call us.

Do you use a sliding scale for the poor and/or those paying out-of-pocket?

Can I make a payment plan for what my insurance does not cover?
We can usually formulate a payment plan. A billing specialist can help you with that.

We will need your name, phone number, and date of birth to locate and verify your referral, after which we can get you scheduled.


As I was roaming around Abellana (Cebu City Sports Complex) Oval Track, waiting for someone from Milo Marathon Cebu 2012 organizers, and waiting for the "elite" runner I was going to "interview", when I found myself entertained by these young boys sprinting around the track.
Yes, it was my first time to be in the famous Abellana oval track so seeing these mini elite runners was new to me. And, I can't help but be amazed how they can maintain gracefulness and speed at the same time.
I asked one of them who was in the middle of his drill if he'll be part of the Milo Marathon Cebu leg 2012 this coming Sunday (October 7, 2012). He said yes, and I then found myself surrounded by these mini elites. So I had a quick chat with them, asking them their target finish time, their biggest wins, and random things about running.
I asked them if are they the bets of Cebu City to top their category in Milo Marathon, to which they said no. But hearing about their PR's for 5KMs to be below 20 minutes, and below 12 minutes for their 3KMs, I was dumbfounded for a few minutes. My idea of fast runner is someone who can ran 5km in 30 minutes. And, here I am surrounded with young boys who can run faster than 20mins/5km and still they don't consider themselves elite. How my ideals were shattered! Anyway, I won't bore you with my elite dilemma.
Among them, Kierl Jie Emnace is their bet to have a big win this coming Milo Marathon Cebu. They're also not new to joining and winning fun runs on Sunday. Emnace's latest win was the 3K Sonshine Radio. Doquiatan got 3rd place on the 6K category of the VCMC sponsored run. Borinaga was a placer in the Go Run 1K category.
I learned that they're all under the coaching of Elberto Banzon. They were proud to share that their coach can beat Kenyans, and that he had run Boston Marathon.
I asked them what do they see themselves in the future, to which they answer in unison is to run the London Marathon. It must be because of the recent London Olympics.
This boy, Joseph Lauren, I asked who is the athlete he looked up to. Without a blink, he blurted out Mary Grace delos Santos.
He placed 4th in the 3K category last Maternity Run. Basing on his finish time of 11:55 minutes from that run, he targets to finish the Milo Marathon 3K category in 10 minutes.
I asked them how they ended up in running, and why are they running.
Some of them answered that they were amazed by the elite runners. So they tried out running to see how fast they can go, until running just became part of their selves.
One said that he's hoping to get a scholarship through running.
While, Joseph, the youngest, said that running lets him contribute to their family's finances. He happily shared that after he'd win in fun runs, they would usually go to the grocery.
To their Milo Marathon quest and beyond, best of luck to them! Make Cebu and delos Santos proud, boys!
I never got to meet the "elite" runner I was supposed to meet, which was my fault. I should have noticed that these type of runners don't bring hydration with them on training/runs, how much more a mobile phone. And, I should have known that Abellana oval track has a human traffic volume equivalent to that of a mall in the afternoons that meeting someone without being specific exactly where is bound to not happen.


The future is here with us.
Imaginations into the future with the technology and released sci-fi depict easy travels space travel and flying cars. A shift from globally community to cosmic home and space travels.
Some visions may be futile like those of Boston Dynamics and Elon Musk, however, following the vertical takeoff and landing that was introduced during CES 2019 by Bell that is Uber partner sounds plausible.
Criticisms on Bell's model claim that the introduction was on the least, a model. A working prototype may take time to accomplish. The question remains over what the prototype will resemble once launched.
At projected capacity of 600lbs and reliance on durable hybrid electric engine. They fly above selected cities by mid-2020s will be safe and comfortable.
The verge reports, "Over 19 companies are eyeing development of flying cars with Boeing, Airbus and Kitty Hawk paving the way faster. Connections between Uber and a number of regulators, manufacturers, and real estate firms places it at a better ground to launch on-demand flying taxi.
Leveraging on the clean electric energy and soaring in the sky, Bell's proposal seems perfect. For the busy cities where driving on the ground is rather nightmare. Utility poles, cables and pylons may need consideration too.
Sometimes you just gotta let those ….
