Lacosamide cardiac safety: clinical trials in patients with partial-onset seizures Rudd GD, Haverkamp W, Mason JW, Wenger T, Jay G, Hebert D, Doty P, Horstmann R. Lacosamide cardiac safety: clinical trials in patients with partial-onset seizures. Acta Neurol Scand 2015: 132: 355–363. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Objective – To evaluate the cardiac safety of adjunctive lacosamide in a large pool of adults with partial-onset seizures (POS). Methods – Post-randomization changes from baseline for electrocardiographic (ECG) measurements, diagnostic findings, and relevant adverse events (AEs) were compared for pooled data from three randomized, placebo-controlled trials of adjunctive lacosamide for the treatment of POS. Results – Lacosamide did not prolong the QTc interval or affect heart rate as determined by an analysis of data from patients randomized to lacosamide 200, 400, or 600 mg/day (n = 944) compared with placebo (n = 364). After 12-week maintenance treatment, mean changes from baseline for QRS duration were similar between the placebo and lacosamide 200 and 400 mg/day groups (0.0, 0.2, and 0.4 ms), but slightly increased for lacosamide 600 mg/day (2.3 ms). A small, dose-related mean increase in PR interval was observed (0.3, 1.4, 4.4, and 6.6 ms for the placebo and lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/day groups, respectively). First-degree atrioventricular (AV) block was reported as a non-serious AE in 0.0%, 0.7%, 0.2%, and 0.5% of patients in the same respective groups. Second- or higher degree AV block was not observed. There was no evidence of a PR-interval-related pharmacodynamic interaction of lacosamide with either carbamazepine or lamotrigine. Conclusions – Evaluation of the pooled cardiac safety data from patients with POS showed that adjunctive lacosamide at the maximum recommended dose (400 mg/day) was not clearly associated with any cardiac effect other than a small, dose-related increase in PR interval that had no evident symptomatic consequence.
Many drug classes, including antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), are known to cause conduction and rhythm abnormalities (1, 2). While the risk for non-cardiovascular drugs to induce fatal arrhythmias is low, the potential consequences necessitate a rigorous evaluation of all new drugs (3). Lacosamide is a newer AED with demonstrated efficacy and a favorable tolerability profile for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures (POS) in adults with epilepsy (4–8). Lacosamide is the first AED to selectively enhance slow inactivation of the voltage-gated sodium (Nav)

channel, without any effects on fast inactivation (9, 10). AEDs that act on neuronal Nav channels – including carbamazepine, phenytoin, and lamotrigine – may also act on cardiac sodium channels (11, 12). Prolongation of PR interval has been reported for such drugs (13, 14). Preclinical safety studies of intravenous lacosamide revealed effects on atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction times (15) prompting incorporation of frequent electrocardiograms (ECGs) into the lacosamide clinical development program to fully characterize its cardiac safety profile. Herein, we report data pooled from the three similarly designed, multicenter, randomized, 355
Rudd et al. double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of lacosamide in patients with POS: SP667 (4), SP754 (5), and SP755 (6). Methods Trial design
The pooled trials included an 8-week baseline period followed by randomization to lacosamide 200, 400, 600 mg/day or placebo and a 12-week maintenance phase. Lacosamide was initiated at 50 mg BID and titrated to the randomized dose in 100 mg/day weekly increments. ECG-related exclusion criteria were confirmed clinically significant ECG abnormality (including prolonged QTc); resting heart rate (HR) 120, and >140 ms. The frequency of TE QRS duration >100 ms was 29.5%, 34.4%, 39.7%, and 29.0%, and >120 ms was 1.4%, 0.0%, 2.6%, and 3.5% for the placebo and lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/day groups. Two placebo patients (0.6%) and one 400 mg/day patient (0.2%) had a TE QRS duration >140 ms. The lacosamide patient had a prolonged baseline QRS value of 132 ms, right bundle branch block (BBB) before and during treatment, and QRS values of 143 and 141 ms during successive visits in the maintenance phase. No AE related to these QRS values was reported and the patient continued treatment in an open-label extension trial. ECG findings – An increased frequency of TE intraventricular (IV) block was observed in patients randomized to lacosamide 400 mg/day (3.5%) and 600 mg/day (7.9%) versus placebo (2.4%; Table 4). Complete right BBB was infrequent in all treatment groups; complete left BBB was not reported. Adverse events – Across datasets, non-serious TEAEs of right BBB were noted in 0.5%, 0.0%, 0.6%, and 1.0% of patients treated with placebo and lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/ day. One placebo-treated patient had a TEAE with a reported term of non-specific IV conduction delay; one patient treated with lacosamide 400 mg/day had a TEAE reported as IV block. Additionally, there was one TEAE of QRS complex prolonged (reported as elevated QRS complex = 111 ms) and one TEAE of QRS complex abnormal (reported as low QRS voltage) in the lacosamide 600 mg/day group. None

completed the trial and transitioned into an open-label extension trial.
PR Interval – Change from baseline  A small, dose-related increase in mean PR interval was observed (0.3, 1.4, 4.4, and 6.6 ms for the placebo and lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/day groups, respectively; Table 3). Placebo-subtracted mean maximum change from baseline values were 1.5, 3.1, and 4.5 ms, respectively.
ECG findings – In the SP754/SP755 pool, there was little difference between the placebo and lacosamide groups for TE first-degree AV block (Table 4). In SP667, the frequency was higher for the lacosamide groups but not dose related. Second-degree or higher AV block was not reported.
Outlier analysis – At baseline, 3.4%, 0.7%, and 0.1% of patients had PR-interval values >200, >220, and >250 ms; 14.0%, 7.0%, and 0.0% of patients aged 61–71 years (n = 43) exceeded these values. There was a higher frequency of TE PR interval >200 ms in each lacosamide group compared to placebo, although this did not appear to be dose related (Table 5). Four patients had a TE PR-interval value >250 ms. Details for one patient are provided in the adverse event section below. The other three patients were aged 63–68 years with prolonged PR intervals at baseline (223–241 ms). No AE related to PR interval was reported; all
Adverse events – Non-serious TEAEs of firstdegree AV block were reported in 0.0%, 0.7%, 0.2%, and 0.5% of patients in the placebo and lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/day groups. There was also a single TEAE of PR prolongation in a 61-year-old with a history of sick sinus syndrome and an implanted pacemaker. The baseline PR interval (213 ms) for this patient was reported as a serious AE. The patient had recorded PR-interval values of 192 ms during titration (200 mg/day); 294 ms (400 mg/day); 208 ms when tapered from 400 to 200 mg/day; and 205 ms 7 days following discontinuation of lacosamide for the AE of PR-interval prolongation. The AE did not resolve until 121 days following discontinuation; the patient's pacemaker

Pharmacodynamic assessment – A large number of patients were taking a PR-interval-prolonging drug – carbamazepine and/or lamotrigine – when lacosamide or placebo was added to their AED regimen. The potential for a PR-interval-related pharmacodynamic interaction of lacosamide with either carbamazepine or lamotrigine was evaluated. In the lacosamide 400 mg/day group, there was little difference in PR-interval change from baseline to the end of the maintenance phase between patients taking carbamazepine (mean = 4.9 ms, 95% CI [2.3, 7.5]; n = 110) and those not taking carbamazepine (mean = 4.0 ms, 95% CI [2.4, 5.6]; n = 279), and those taking lamotrigine (mean = 2.5 ms, 95% CI [0.0, 4.9]; n = 117), compared with those not taking lamotrigine (mean = 5.1 ms, 95% CI [3.4, 6.7]; n = 272). Similar findings were observed in corresponding analyses for the other lacosamide groups. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic assessment – The results of a regression analysis of PR-interval change from baseline on corresponding lacosamide plasma concentration are shown in Fig. 1. Solution of the regression equation, using the average lacosamide plasma concentration at steady state for a 400 mg/day dose (~8.3 lg/ml), predicted an average PR-interval increase of ~4.5 ms. Other TEAEs relevant to cardiac safety
TEAEs that were potentially related to AV block included palpitations and syncope or loss of

consciousness. An ECG was not taken at the time of these events; however, there were no instances of prolonged PR interval on ECGs acquired prior to the event. Four non-serious TEAEs of palpitations were reported (0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.5% of patients in the lacosamide 200, 400, and 600 mg/ day groups), and each patient continued treatment. Syncope or loss of consciousness was reported in one patient each in the placebo and lacosamide 200 and 400 mg/day groups. A 48 kg (BMI = 19.3 kg/m2) female taking oxcarbazepine (1800 mg/day) and levetiracetam (1750 mg/day) had serious AEs of fluctuating intoxication symptoms (reported term) and loss of consciousness while also having intermittent dizziness and lightheadedness. These events occurred during the last week of the titration phase while the patient was taking lacosamide 400 mg/day and discontinued due to fluctuating intoxication. Loss of consciousness (not serious) was reported again in the taper phase while patient was taking placebo, 1 day following the end of the lacosamide 200 mg/day taper dose. Both loss of consciousness events resolved on the day of onset. A second patient who completed maintenance phase dosing with lacosamide 200 mg/day had an AE of syncope on the first day of transition to an open-label extension trial. This event was not serious, did not result in discontinuation, and resolved on the same day. Other TEAEs included chest pain or discomfort, reported in 1.6%, 2.2%, 1.5%, and 2.0% of patients randomized to placebo or lacosamide 360
200, 400, or 600 mg/day, respectively. Three patients who were randomized to lacosamide discontinued due to chest pain; however, two of these patients were taking placebo during titration at the time of the event. Extrasystoles or ventricular extrasystoles were reported as TEAEs for two patients each in the placebo and lacosamide 400 mg/day groups. Although these events were not serious, both lacosamide patients were discontinued due to this TEAE. Additional TEAEs that were not serious and did not result in discontinuation were angina pectoris (one patient in the lacosamide 200 mg/day group and two patients in the lacosamide 400 mg/day group [reported terms: heart pain and cardialgia]), and ECG T-wave abnormality and abnormal heart sounds (one patient each in the lacosamide 600 mg/day group).
An overall evaluation of the controlled clinical trial data from the large pool of generally healthy patients with POS showed that lacosamide did not prolong the QTc interval or have an effect on HR. After 12-week maintenance treatment, there was little or no change in QRS duration from baseline for the placebo and the maximum recommended lacosamide dose (400 mg/day), but a slight increase in QRS duration (+2.3 ms) was observed in the lacosamide 600 mg/day group. AEs related to QRS duration were infrequent and did not result in patient discontinuation. The mean change from baseline in PR interval after 12-week maintenance treatment was +4.4 ms for the maximum recommended lacosamide dose (400 mg/day). The small increase in PR interval associated with adjunctive lacosamide in patients with POS was similar to increases observed with other AEDs that predominantly act on sodium channel fast inactivation (e.g., carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and eslicarbazepine) (13, 14, 18, 19) and those with other mechanisms of action (e.g., pregabalin) (20). A subset analysis revealed that the magnitude of the PR-interval increase associated with lacosamide was similar in the presence or absence of carbamazepine or lamotrigine, thus offering little evidence of pharmacodynamic interaction with regard to PR interval. ECG results in the POS pooled analysis were quantitatively and qualitatively consistent with a controlled thorough QT (TQT) study of lacosamide safety in healthy volunteers (21). These observations may be related to similarities in the study populations as both were relatively young and generally in good health. The placebo-subtracted
Clinical cardiac safety of lacosamide mean increase of +2.3 ms for QRS duration observed at the end of maintenance in the lacosamide 600 mg/day group was greater than the placebo-subtracted change in QRS duration observed at tmax for the 400 and 800 mg/day lacosamide groups in the TQT study (+0.2 and 0.7 ms, respectively) (21). Together, the POS and TQT findings suggest the absence of a dose-related or clinically relevant effect of lacosamide on QRS duration at recommended doses (21). For the maximum recommended lacosamide dose (400 mg/day), the placebo-subtracted mean increase in PR interval was +4.7 ms for the POS group at the end of maintenance and +7.3 ms at tmax in the TQT trial (21). The small difference in the magnitude of the PR-interval increase for the POS pool and the TQT result is likely due to the timing of ECG acquisitions. The relatively flat relationship between lacosamide plasma concentration and change from baseline PR interval observed in both POS patients (Fig. 1) and healthy volunteers (21) suggests a wide margin of safety for lacosamide with regard to PR interval in patients who are in good health. In first-degree AV block, conduction is most often delayed within the AV node; however, all atrial impulses reach the ventricles. First-degree AV block is an ECG finding that is not commonly associated with symptoms. TE first-degree AV block in the lacosamide groups was not dose related (range: 1.1–4.9%), and incidence was similar to or greater than that reported for the placebo groups in SP754/755 and SP667 (2.4% and 3.2%, respectively). In second-degree AV block, not all atrial impulses are conducted to the ventricles. This type of block may be accompanied by symptoms such as slow or irregular pulse, lightheadedness, and fainting, particularly during exercise. There were no reports of second-degree or higher AV block in this pooled analysis of POS patients or in healthy volunteers taking lacosamide doses up to 800 mg/day (21). Few patients with POS recruited into the controlled lacosamide trials were elderly or had significant underlying cardiovascular disease. However, over 80% of the pooled patients with POS were also taking at least one concomitant sodium channel-blocking AED. To more completely evaluate the safety associated with lacosamide in potentially higher risk groups, patients with a prolonged PR interval or bradycardia (HR 45 or 50 to

Prevention Lab
Social media and the internet enables terrorist groups to disseminate propaganda, advertise their crimes, incite violence, radicalize and persuade disenfranchised young adults to join their hateful cause.bAs the fight against religious extremism increasingly takes place in cyberspace, what can governments, international organizations, civil society groups and individual citizens do to counter online extremism?
The Digital Mass Atrocity Prevention Lab (DMAP Lab) is a policy hub working to hate speech, combat genocidal ideologies online and work as a counter force against extremists and their ideas.
Research and analyze key actors and drivers of online extremism and radicalization
Develop tools and strategies to counter extremists who use social media, artificial intelligence and other digital technologies as a weapon of war
Propose policy recommendations to governments, NGOs, UN agencies and other stakeholders
Provide specialized training and policy advice
Bring together policymakers, journalists, academics, tech expects, human rights activists and community leaders to create a global network as a force for good
Research how new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence can be use to positive and negative purposes, and map key actors working on AI
Mapping the Artificial Intelligence, Networked Hate and Human Rights Project
With the support of Global Affairs Canada, this project aims at better understanding the intersection between artificial intelligence and human rights with a special focus on the topic of online hate. The project will facilitate dialogue between human rights experts and those working in the field of AI in order to increase knowledge sharing on how networked hate can be countered effectively.
In March 2018, MIGS and Tech Against Terrorism will hold a workshop on AI and human rights, and launch the Data Science Network. The network will serve as a collaborative space for start-ups, big tech, academia and researchers, with the aim of utilising methods such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning to build tools to prevent terrorist abuse of tech.
Tech Against Terrorism is a UN-mandated organisation helping tech companies confront terrorist exploitation of their services. The organisation has engaged with over 150 global companies, and work with Facebook, Google, Twitter and Microsoft in the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism. In 2017, Tech Against Terrorism launched the Knowledge Sharing Platform, a database helping companies protect their services from terrorist exploitation, at the United Nations headquarters.

Southeastern Louisiana University faces $1.4 million reduction in state funds
University President John Crain says tuition increase under consideration
Updated: 11:44 AM CDT Jul 1, 2016

Despite the best efforts of the governor of Louisiana, the Louisiana Legislature and the State Board of Regents, Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond faces a reduction in state funds of $1.4 million, said University President John Crain.The possibility of another increase in tuition at Southeastern remains a possibility. Students are understandably concerned."I'm struggling as it is right now to try to pay for college because I didn't get TOPS (Taylor Opportunity Program for Students) or anything," said Cody Pollard, as he studied in the university student union. "To raise the tuition again would definitely have an impact on me, and I am getting married soon, so paying off student loans for a while, it'd be hard. It would be difficult."Funding for higher education basically escaped the state legislature's budgetary ax unscathed. The State Board of Regents approved on Wednesday the funding distribution formula for colleges and universities around Louisiana. It was not good news for Southeastern.By letter Thursday, Crain said that the formula results in a $1.4 million reduction in state funds to SLU."We are evaluating whether we will request from our Board of Supervisors the authority to increase tuition again this coming fall semester," Crain wrote in a campus budget update dated June 30. "I am also disappointed that I have not been able to discern a rational and succinct explanation for this that I can share with our campus community and other interested stakeholders."Gov. John Bel Edwards made it clear Wednesday to the Board of Regents that he wants to avoid tuition increases at the state's colleges and universities."We cannot continue to put more and more of the burden on our students and on their families through tuition, which is what happened through those annual double digit tuition increases we've had for years," Edwards said.Facing the prospect of another increase in tuition with only a few short weeks before fall registration, students don't really know what to expect."Just trying to do everyday life, so I do get some Pell grants, but even then it's only going to go so far," said SLU student Kayla Breaux."I think it's ridiculous. I think you should just keep it the same or lower it, because, I mean, it's really hard for families to be able to pay for their kids being able to go to school and everything," said student Marcus Flavors.Right now, 82 percent of Southeastern University's enterprise resources are self generated through tuition and fees.

As long as I'm talking about my last visit to Seattle, I should mention that I made a momentous decision when I was there.
I decided on what will be my regional headquarters for the Pacific Northwest once I conquer the world.
I'm going to move in to the Pacific Medical Center on Beacon Hill. Currently occupied by a hospital and by Amazon.com, it's a big imposing ziggurat type castle that's visible from most of downtown Seattle.
As for other headquarters buildings, I'll get somebody to rebuild the White City for me (obviously no room for it in Chicago, so I'll set it up out in Iowa somewhere), and I'll make my private retreat in the Trylon and Perisphere from the '39 Worlds' Fair, now located on a remote island.
Bonus Material #1: While researching this blog entry, I discovered information on the 1937 International Arts Expo, located in Paris. The Nazis brought an appropriately bombastic design.
The fair's planners had a sense of humor - they put the two pavilions right across the street from each other.
Bonus Material #2: Doing a Google Image search for a particular style of architecture returns two hits on the first page for a building from Dubuque. Can you guess which style it is?

Kayhan interview: Shia crescent or Zionist crescent?
Created: Sunday, 17 June 2018 14:41
1) How do you asses Iran's presence in the region? Could we say the major reason for American hostility against Iran is its strong position in the Middle East?
Iran has played a vital role in the Middle East, especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Palestinians lost their superpower support, which had meant that the UN had a balanced voice to counter, at least to some extent, the US imperial objectives of world dominance, and Israel's objective to dominance in the Middle East, serving as a proxy for US interests.
In 1975, the Soviet Union and third world countries sponsored a UN resolution calling Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination", outraging Israel. When the Soviet Union collapsed, it was revoked under US pressure.
The struggle to liberate Palestine suffered defeat after defeat since then, with the questionable -- and failed -- Oslo peace accords, the second Intifada (2000–05) (along with the first intifada, killing 5,300 Palestinians), the invasions of Gaza (2008, 2014) (3,700 Palestinians). According to official Israeli security data, between 750,000 and 800,000 Palestinians have been arrested and imprisoned by Israel since 1967.
This massacre of civilians has taken place with no sanctions against Israel, rarely even a scolding, showing the craven cowardice of the international community ruled by US hegemony. The Saudis provide petrodollar support to the Palestinian Authority and to Palestinian refugees, but boycott Hamas, which has been held under siege by Israel for a decade, given material aid only by brave western peace groups (mostly confiscated by Israel). Only Iran has dared to provide military support to Palestinians through Hezbollah in Lebanon.
This has left Iran as the victim of unceasing boycotts and scheming by the West, as well as almost daily calls to invade Iran.
There is some light on the horizon, despite Arab hostility to Iran and timidity among peace campaigners in the West to openly support Iran. The UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) issued a report in March 2017 calling Israel an apartheid state, recalling the 1975 UN resolution.
Since most of the world's states have signed the Convention Against Apartheid, they are now obliged to act to punish instances of apartheid. Recommendations from the report include calls for:
• governments to "support boycott, divestment and sanctions activities".
• a comprehensive investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of the situation in Israel. ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had already opened an investigation on Israel's 2014 bombing of Gaza and on the illegal settlements in the West Bank.
• 'criminal prosecutions of Israeli officials demonstrably connected with the practices of apartheid against the Palestinian people'. Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni cancelled a trip to Brussels in 2017 when she was alerted that the prosecutors there might arrest her using the principle of universal jurisdiction.
It is easy to convince most people in the West in a few moments of sober discussion that Israel is a criminal state and that Iran is doing vital work to support the Palestinians -- without any ulterior motive, something that Arab states, under US hegemony, have neglected to do.
The prejudice of an important element of the Arab world against the Palestinians was expressed by the most subservient of Arab states. At a meeting with Jewish leaders in New York in April 2018, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman castigated the Palestinian leadership for rejecting opportunities for peace with Israel for decades, and said they should either start accepting peace proposals or "shut up." Shocking as this was to hear publicly, it shows the hypocrisy of unpopular Arab leaders who are worried more about their own restive peoples, than the noble struggle of the Palestinians to protect Muslim heritage in the epicentre of the Abrahamic faith.
Accusations are made against Iran, both from the imperialists and from Arab leaders, jealous of Iran's Islamic revolution, its ability to resist US invasion -- both military and cultural -- and western boycotts and financial pressures. A term 'the Shia crescent' was coined by western analysts to suggest that Iran wants to export Shiism and revolution to the Middle East and wield political power along the lines of the imperialist West.
Iran threatens no country nor does it try to direct political activity of others. The same specious claims were used against the earlier bete-noire of imperialism, the Soviet Union, which, in contrast to the US, did not engage in coups and election interference in dozens of countries since the end of WWII. Such claims are a mere distraction from the aggressive agenda of imperialism to control the world.
2) Do you believe the recent events happening in the Middle East will lead to the new world order?
Only when Jewish Americans decisively turn against the idea of Israel as a 'Jewish state', which by definition violates international norms, will there be a resolution of the strife in the Middle East.
3) The ongoing wars in the Middle East have been called proxy war. What is the future form and method of war in our region? What would be the most important element that would reunify the nations in the region and would defeat the foreign and tyranny governments?
As the internet and social media continue to unite the world, public opinion is becoming more important, especially on such burning issues as Israel's flagrant atrocities and plans for total occupation of all Palestinian lands, not to mention long term plans for further expansion. It is a 'Zionist crescent' that threatens the Middle East, not a Shia one. Once public opinion against Israel becomes strong, governments in the West will, one by one, stand up for social justice. The change must come from the outside, as Israel only becomes more ruthless and racist over time. 'Good' Jews are leaving Israel, disgusted with their helplessness as they watch their government escalate its atrocities.
Only when others join Iran in principled support of Palestine and use economic sanctions and public condemnation against Israel, as happened in the struggle against South African Apartheid in the 1980s, will this peaceful 'warfare' triumph against Israel's unparalleled 'hard power'.
Despite the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA nuclear agreement, Iran is likely to be an increasingly influential player in Eurasia. Apart from an ability to be very pragmatic in foreign policy, Iran is seen as useful to some other major Eurasian countries. Russia has grown more reliable as an ally, itself, under intense US pressure to accede to the US world order. Russia sees Iran as assisting its Eurasia power ambitions. Iran has good relations with all its neighbours, and along with Russia and China, is quietly pursuing a policy of reconciliation in Afghanistan. There can be no peace there until the US withdraws and ends pretensions of permanent occupation in order to control Afghanistan's wealth and pivotal position in geopolitical affairs.

Science and Discovery –
Crater Lake National Park has a fascinating history. Created by the explosion of Mt. Mazama 7,700 years ago, Crater Lake has long inspired reverence and wonder. Here's a brief explanation how it all took place.
Crater Lake sits atop Mount Mazama, a Quaternary volcano that is part of the Western Cascade Range, active about 2.5 millions years ago to the present day. Mazama began to form a half million years ago. 42,000 years ago it stood at its tallest height at 12,000 feet.
Mazama had its most destructive eruption about 7,700 years ago, spewing 12 cubic miles of rhyolite magma (gas rich, erupting explosively, forming a frothy solidified magma called pumice) in the form of tephra as far north as Alberta, Canada, as far east as Wyoming and as far south as Nevada and northern California. Pyroclastic flows and lahars descended down around the volcano and a thick layer of tuff formed on the landscape and can still be seen today.
As a result of the eruption, Mazama lost enough material that the weight of the peak of the volcano could not be supported and it collapsed upon itself, creating a caldera.
Wizard Island
Mazama continued to have smaller eruptions, which sealed the caldera floor and created a cinder cone within the caldera which is now called Wizard Island.
Formation of the Lake
Over 700 to 1500 years, rain and snow melt gradually filled the caldera, forming Crater Lake. Today, there is a balance between evaporation and precipitation and the water level in the lake usually fluctuates less than three feet year to year.
In terms of geologic time, Crater Lake is very young. It is believed that humans likely witnessed the explosion. In fact, a sandal was found buried in the ash from the eruption. Klamath tribes have legends of how Crater Lake came to be.

Crayfish Threatens Lake's Newt
Found only in Crater Lake, the Mazama newt was once the top of the lake's food chain. Today it is threatened by invading crayfish originally introduced to the lake as a food for fish. Read more and see more in a video produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Why Support the Crater Lake National Park Trust?
A Great Place for Families
Crater Lake is spectacular. Blue, blue, blue is all I have to say. The views from anywhere in the park are breathtaking. Just a great place for hiking, and taking in the views. Lots of different options for trail hiking, from easy to challenging. Great place for families.
Karen Saunders
A variety of birds visit and live in Crater Lake National Park. Read about the crucial role Crater Lake has played in the resurgence of the Peregrine Falcon population in Oregon here.
Crater Lake also has a nesting pair of Bald Eagles. Thanks to safe habitats such as Crater Lake, Bald Eagles were de-listed from the Endangered Species Act in early Summer of 2007. The birds are not a common site at the park, but you can see the eagles within the Klamath Basin Refuge.
The most abundant birds in the park are the Clark's Nutcracker, Mountain Chickadee, and the Dark-eyed Junco. For a complete list of birds found in the park visit the Crater Lake National Park archives.
Opened in 2005, the Crater Lake Trust helped create the Science and Learning Center in two historic Park Buildings.
The Center offers offices, library space, and overnight lodging for researchers in the Park.
The Trust helped create a Science and Learning Center, which opened in 2006 in two historic Park buildings.
It is Truly Amazing
What an amazing place and experience. Like no other park I've been too. As with all the other national parks, it is truly amazing. Go and enjoy on a full moon weekend and go for a walk at night from the lodge. Then do the full drive around. Go in the shoulder season and hope for some snow. It gets cold and windy but is beautiful.
Joe Martinet
Crater Lake's bathymetry, or water depth, was studied in detail by a research boat airlifted into Crater Lake in 2000. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of New Hampshire, and the National Park Service studied the lake bottom in depth and produced a wealth of data.
Several government agencies have partnered to develop databases of GIS (geographic information service) data about Crater Lake, which is available free for download.
Awe Inspiring
Crater lake was awe-inspiring. I definitely recommend the boat tour. The hike down and back up from the boat is definitely worth it. The water is unbelievably blue. It looks like they dye it that color. The rangers are very friendly and willing to answer questions.
Alexander Peichl
There are many remarkable geologic features within Crater Lake National Park. The main forces that created the formations around the park were volcanic activity and glaciers. The steep walls of the caldera in which Crater Lake rests allow for a clear view of the layers of volcanic ash that built up with multiple eruptions, including the eruption that allowed for the formation of Crater Lake
Cloudcap
Cloudcap offers stunning views of the lake from its pumice covered cliff. It is similar but older than Llao rock; both are formed of rhyodacite lava that filled an old explosion crater. Cloudcap erupted 20,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Devils Backbone
This jagged dark rock band runs from the rim down to Crater Lake. Devils Backbone formed when lava seeped up through a crack in the mountain and cooled. Over thousands of years, the softer rock around the lava eroded leaving the feature exposed.
Garfield Peak
Named after James Garfield the Secretary of State under Roosevelt and the first cabinet member to visit Crater Lake after it became a national park, Garfield peak provides a spectacular panorama of the lake. The peak stands at 8,060 feet in elevation and can be accessed by a steep 1.25 mile hike that offers a variety of geologic sights.
Hillman Peak
This peak is called parasitic cone, which is a tiny volcano that grows out of a larger volcano. Hillman Peak formed 70,000 years ago. It was cut in half when Mount Mazama erupted. The peak is the highest point on the rim.
Kerr Notch and Munson Valley
These two formations are U-shaped valleys. A valley of this shape indicates that it is carved out by a glacier. Crater Lake has periodically had glaciers for thousands of years.
Llao Rock
This gigantic rock is named after Llao, a Spirit Chief which Klamath Tribes said created Crater Lake. This huge formation is an ancient rhyodacite lava flow which was cut in half when Mt. Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago. The band-like layers can be seen on the rock; these are formed of lava from different eruptions. The best view of Llao can be found from the tour boats on the lake.
The Pumice Desert
The Pumice Desert stretches for acres in the northwestern section of the park. 50 feet of pumice and ash settled on the land during the eruption that created the caldera of Crater Lake. The few plants that can survive on the landscape are hardy and provide food and shelter to many small mammals and insects.
These towering formations of scoria and pumice are found along the sides of the Sand Creek Valley. The Pinnacles formed when hot volcanic gases shot up through the ash, cementing it. Through weathering, the softer surrounding materials were carried away, leaving these formations which rise up more than 50 feet.
Mt. Scott
This peak is called parasitic cone, a vent, or tiny volcano, that grows out of a larger volcano, located east of the lake. It is the highest point within the park at 8,926 feet and it is over 400,000 years old.
Sun Notch
Located along the Rim Drive, Sun Notch is a U-shaped, glacier carved valley that is very distinctive. In August, the sun sets down into the valley of Sun Notch, giving it its name.
The Watchman is a peak on the rim that is a remnant of a lava flow about 50,000 years ago.
Wizard Island and the Merriam Cone
Wizard Island and Merriam Cone are cinder cones that rose up after the eruption that formed the caldera. Wizard Island has trees as old as 800 years; it is believed that this is when the Island broke the water's surface. The Merriam Cone remains below the lake's surface.

Fish Living within Crater Lake
Did you know there are no native fish in Crater Lake? All fish living in Crater Lake were introduced. Crater Lake was stocked with 1.8 million trout and salmon from 1888 to 1941. Of the six species of fish introduced, the offspring of two species are still living in the lake: rainbow trout and kokanee salmon.
Fish Living within the Streams of Crater Lake National Park
There are four fish known to inhabit the streams of the park, german brown trout, bull trout (the only native fish), eastern brook trout, and rainbow trout. Most streams are difficult to access due to the terrain of the area.
Fishing is allowed (and free) within the park when weather permits safe access.
Nature at Its Pristine Best
An incredible example of the best of what America's National Park's can be….nature at its pristine best! We originally planned a stay of 3 days at Crater Lake, but due to some unusually nasty fog, we hadn't seen the lake in that time. Staying another day gave us the amazing views of the caldera that were more than worth waiting for!

Did you know Crater Lake has a mysterious moss? Due to the incredibly clear water, high levels of ultraviolet radiation penetrate the water and few plants can survive. Students and professors from Oregon State University have been studying Crater Lake for years because of the unique conditions of the water. Remarkably, one moss has flourished: the Drepanocladus aduncus. This huge plant is found between 100 to 460 feet below the surface and grows up to 20 feet thick. Unlike regular moss, which can double in size in just one day, the Crater Lake moss doubles in size only once a year. The age of the moss has yet to be determined, though it is currently estimated to be 6,000 years old.
Heaven on earth. Each visit brings more joy and wonder. $25 per car entry fee is worth it for the preservation of what I consider to be one of the greatest natural wonders in the world.

Most Beautiful Place I've Ever Been
Indescribable. There is only one place you can swim in the water. Water is GORGEOUS! The sky is beautiful at night. The staff is wonderful at the check in. If I remember correctly, it was $20/car. It's open 24 hours but, if you are sleeping over night, you need a pass. Honestly, the most beautiful place I've ever been.

Skatetown, U.S.A. (William A. Levey, 1979)
A feeling of misguided satisfaction coursed through my nimble frame as I finished watching Skatetown, U.S.A., a non-stop disco party that repeatedly shuns reality and subverts the conventions of modern cinema. Why such an extreme reaction to something that, on the surface, appears to be stupid and trivial? Well, I like to brag about the fact that I enjoy watching Roller Boogie, the movie where Linda Blair's gorgeous thighs are constantly being strangled by a pair of purple tights, and Xanadu, which is also a "movie," except in this one, Olivia Newton-John provides the bulk of the thigh-candy. As you would expect, or maybe you wouldn't, what the hell do I know, the weird look of pity/puzzlement they give me as I'm telling them all about my love for these culturally important movies bathes my fragile aura with radiant waves of energy nectar. Only problem being is that I'm deathly afraid that one day one of these fine, nectar-providing folks is gonna ask me if I've seen Skatetown, U.S.A. You see, saying you're a fan of movies that involve disco and roller skating is completely meaningless if you haven't seen Skatetown, U.S.A., the kind of movie where yo-yos, rainbow suspenders, tai chi and short shorts all appear within the same frame. It's like saying you're a fan of the music of Nitzer Ebb but haven't heard That Total Age. In case it isn't obvious yet, I'd like to officially announce that my days of nervously boasting about my love of roller disco movies are over, for I have been to Skatetown, U.S.A., and let me be the first to tell you, it was glorious.
The act of gliding on wheels to disco music, as supposed to walking to the screeching racket that is rock music, has always been the principal allure of roller disco cinema. When riding in a car or traveling across town on a bus, you feel as if your moving but there's a bit of a disconnect. On the other hand, when the wheels are actually attached to your body, the sensation is more tactile, more granular. Add the synthetic pulse of a well-oiled disco beat, and we're talking some serious harmony up in here.
Just because walking and talking is the most popular way to depict two people in a relationship on-screen doesn't mean it's the most effective. Having your characters on wheels not only enhances the romance, it accelerates the wooing process. Take a couple who do things the old fashioned way: they walk to a restaurant, they eat, they engage in small talk, it can be quite tedious. Now take a roller skating couple, like, for instance, Stanley and Allison, the couple in Skatetown, U.S.A. played by Greg Bradford (Zapped!) and Katherine Kelly Lang (The Bold and the Beautiful), the two barely say a word to one another, yet their chemistry on the roller disco dance floor is undeniable. There is just something to said about love when it's on wheels. It blossoms in a way that no walking person could ever understand.
Since I've already done an excellent job proving that moving on wheels to disco gives you a sense of spiritual autonomy and vastly improves your love life, I'd like to talk about this particular film and its radical approach to storytelling. Written Nick Castle (Escape from New York) and directed by William A. Levey (Wam Bam Thank You Spaceman), Skatetown, U.S.A. bypasses things like scripted dialogue and character development all together, and aims to create a universe that seems lived in, but not in a way that seems contrived or phony.
The sight of hordes of scantily clad roller skaters rolling along the concrete pathways of Venice Beach in the opening scene is the only proof we have that this film takes place on Planet Earth, because after that, the film takes place entirely inside the iridescent realm that is Skatetown, U.S.A., an awe-inspiring roller disco paradise run by a father and son duo named Harvey (Flip Wilson) and Jimmy (Billy Barty); the former, by the way, also plays Harvey's mother (yeah, that's right, Flip Wilson appears in drag). Under the spell of The Wizard (Denny Johnston), the joints giant white afro-sporting DJ, we are subjected to a balletic display of tightly packaged disco crotches, flashing disco lights, glowing disco balls, pulsating disco beats, and knee-molesting disco doctors.
You'd think the film would rest on its laurels by employing the tried and true roller disco movie formula: montage, dialogue, montage, a brief shot of Ruth Buzzi in a yellow hat, dialogue, montage. After all, it worked so brilliantly in Roller Boogie. However, Skatetown, U.S.A. takes the formula one step further by eliminating the dialogue completely. Oh, sure, there's still a ton of dialogue uttered in the film (most of it incoherent nonsense), it's just that it seemed like I was watching a 98 minute montage. Which, if you think about it, is more attune to reality. If you think about it some more, there's no dialogue in real life, so why should there be any in the movies?
Seriously, forget about even a sentence, when was the last time you heard someone verbalize actual words in order to advance a plot? For me, you'd have to go all the way back to the late 1970s, and I wasn't even alive back then.
There was one line of dialogue expressed audibly in the film that I do remember, and that was Dorothy Stratten's "pizza please." Asked repeatedly every time an elderly vaudevillian would finish telling her what was usually a terrible joke, Dorothy, aptly credited as "girl at snack bar," would gradually increase the frustration level in her voice after each pizza request went unfulfilled. Other than the film's obligatory skate competition, it's safe to say that the tension surrounding the serving of Miss Stratten's pizza slice was the film's primary source of drama.
Predictable, yet completely necessary, the rivalry that forms between skaters Stanley (Greg Bradford) and Ace (Patrick Swayze) is the dominate storyline during those smallish chunks of time that exist in-between the film's many musical numbers (the majority involving skate crews with names like, "New Horizons" and the "Hot Wheelers"). Egged on by Richie (Scott Baio), his bookie pal, and placated by his sister Susan (Maureen McCormick), Stan from the Valley must overcome the brash Ace, the leader of the West Side Wheelers, the toughest roller skating gang this side of Wilshire Boulevard, find out if Katherine Kelly Lang is real or not (she has the charisma of a fuck doll that's never been inflated), use a shitload of poker metaphors in an argument, and partake in a game of chicken involving a rickety old pier and motorized roller skates.
Employing his sycophantic underlings to sabotage his opponents (which include skaters with names like, Uncle Sam and Pistol Pete), even though he doesn't have to (he kicks ass both in the singles and mixed doubles competition), Ace's determination to win has severely clouded his judgment. The best example of this cloudiness can be observed whenever you would see Ace and his second in command Frankey (Ron Palillo) sitting together. While Ace's lady-friend/skating partner is attractive and all, it was clear to me that gals leaning on each of Frankey's bony shoulders were two of the hottest chicks in all of Skatetown, U.S.A. Or maybe Ace is just not that into leather-clad women who combine the elegance of Buckwild from Flavor of Love 2 and the wayward spunk of Polly from the movie Teen Witch. Either way, it's his loss.
Sporting a studded dog collar and a churlish disposition (one that was downright unhorshackian at times), Ron Palillo's henchmen character represented the ugly side of disco peer pressure. In constant fear of losing his place within the gang's complex hierarchy, Frankey carries out his master's orders without fail.
Meanwhile, over at the change rooms. The moment the word "pantyhose" rolled off her exquisite lips was the exact instant I knew the bespectacled Eleanor (Harlene Winsten) would be the Skatetown, U.S.A. character for me (she trips and falls before she even puts her skates on). Recently married to a nebbish clod named Irwin (David Landsberg), a man who clearly does not appreciate her inherent foxiness, Eleanor sets the disco floor on fire with her frumpy attire and spastic roller moves. Unfortunately, the winsome Miss Winsten only appears sporadically throughout the film. Nevertheless, I treasured every scene of hers like it were a rare gift from the roller disco movie gods.
Half-heartedly spouting feminist slogans when confronted, a more wide-eyed than usual Judy Landers (Dr. Alien) tries her best to figure out the club's simplistic ticketing system as Tery, Skatetown's breathy doorperson. (Remember kids: Orange passes are for last week, green passes are for this week, and free tickets cost five dollars.) Sadly, Judy spends the majority of the film sitting behind Skatetown's ticket counter; I would have loved to have seen her skate.
I liked how Maureen McCormick (The Brady Bunch), head-to-toe in pink, would disappear on occasion. Which makes sense, since, according to her memoir: Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice in Maui, she was doing a lot of cocaine during the making of the film, and, as we all know, cocaine enthusiasts aren't exactly the most reliable people when it comes to truancy. Coked up or not, Maureen looked amazing in her tight pink short shorts, and her character's sexual attraction to Ron Palillo, while strange and slightly off-putting, gave hope to millions of deluded dirtbags the world over. Oh, and I loved the empty-headed, trollopy manner in which she chewed her gum.
Shooting laser beams from his fingers and promoting the joint's nasty snack bar whenever possible, The Wizard (Denny Johnston), the skate palace's mystical DJ (he can make crooner Dave Mason appear and disappear at will), spins a groove-tastic array of killer disco tracks. My faves being: the totally awesome "Born To Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez (it's the song that introduces us the shimmering universe that is Skatetown, U.S.A.); Heatwave's "Boogie Nights;" "Macho Man" by the Village People (a song I always associate with roast beef and Yorkshire pudding); a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb" by the Hounds (Patrick Swayze and April Allen destroy all comers to this song); and, of course, Earth, Wind and Fire's "Boogie Wonderland."
It's hard to believe, but in 1979, a straight man could wear a pink tank top with white slacks while performing an elaborate roller skating routine (complete with muscle flexing) to the strains of "Macho Man" without an ounce of fear. Anyway, I sure am glad I finally got the chance to visit Skatetown, U.S.A. The only downside being that I reek of flat 7Up and soggy pizza.

The moment I saw Dorothy Stratten I thought she was Judy Landers, then low-and-behold (whatever that means) there was J.L.
What a cast, eh? All they needed was, perhaps Dick van Patten as the easily upset neighboring businessman or some-such... Or Buddy Hackett running the snack bar? I will have to keep my eyes peeled for this one.
The Vicar of VHS December 15, 2010 at 4:35 PM
This...this movie. You've made it up, haven't you, Yum-Yum? I mean, really...this is the result of a Mad Dog 20/20-fueled Olivia Newton John workout session followed by a few rails and a midnight screening of THE APPLE at an abandoned roller disco. Right?
I mean, come on...coked-up Maureen McCormick? Patrick Swayze AND Scott Baio AND Dorothy Stratten in a Battle of the Feathered 70s dos? Ruth Buzzi? Motorized Rollerskate Drag Racing? A lazer-shooting pink-haired Wizard? Flip Wilson? BILLY BARTY?!?!
Un-possible. You had me going for a minute there, but no. The universe is simply not beautiful enough for this movie to exist in it.

Roller Boogie will always forever be in my heart as THE Roller skating movie event of 1979, but lordy... Skatetown USA will always be the most INSANE roller skating movie of all time. I LOVE it's manic tone. It's as if it were made my crazy people... Or more likely hairy dudes hopped up on coke.
I recently watched a show about a couple of dudes who find antiques and old junk in random places. And in this episode, they found themselves on Staten Island in some old storage locker that the owner of defaulted on. Through the many thousands of movie posters in the joint, they pulled out an old poster of SKATETOWN USA in pristine condition. It was almost an instant orgasm for me. But I guess I'm strange that way.
One day SkateTown USA will dance it's way into our hearts on DVD... And that day I'll be a happy, probably old man....
Yum-Yum December 16, 2010 at 10:00 PM
+ Darius Whiteplume: Yeah, low-and-behold, what a load of crap. ;)
Sydney Lassick's character is the closet thing to the businessman of the easily upset variety in this particular film.
Joe E. Ross from Adam 12 has a small cameo as a Rent-a-Cop.
+ The Vicar of VHS: Hmmm, now that you mention it, it does sound kind of made-up. But believe you, me, and that defective fire hydrant lounging in the corner, it's all to real, baby.
Either way, your doubt regarding the validity of this flick's existence has a demented charm about it. ;)
Oh, and I want to make gentle intercourse to Ruth Buzzi all night long.
+ Cinema Du Meep: Good call on the film's manic tone and the mental health of the people who made it. The snack bar scenes feature some of the stupidest, most asinine humour ever committed to celluloid.
Contact your MP or Member of Congress and demand that Skatetown, U.S.A. be released on DVD and Blue-ray.

I saw this movie about two years ago at a revival house in LA. Well, we'd seen it before. I remember getting a bootleg for my fiance for his birthday one year and it instantly became his all time favorite movie of all time ever (he's so in love with Maureen, but who isn't). I just adore Patrick Swayze in this movie and although the annoying hipster audience at the revival house was driving me nuts by texting and talking way too loud, they all applauded his big skate number. Warms the heart.
btw, if you haven't seen A Vacation in Hell and love Maureen, then you need to get it. Also it's got Priscilla Barnes, Barbara Feldon and Andrea Marcovicci (me-ow!), but Maureen's drunken dance is so awesome!
Yum-Yum December 17, 2010 at 9:20 PM
I would love to see Skatetown, U.S.A. on the big screen with a large disco-friendly audience.
Patrick Swayze totally deserves that hipster applause, as he smokes the competition for breakfast.
Do a Google search for A Vacation in Hell and Made for TV Mayhem comes up third. :)
Anyway, yeah, I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. Mmmm, Priscilla Barnes. Pretty lady.
Jay Amabile January 7, 2011 at 9:54 AM
I would totally watch Skatetown USA on the big screen with you...in my white slacks and pink tank top. Unfortunately I always wanted to see it but never have. "...the ugly side of disco peer pressure" - so insanely funny. omg how cute was Maureen McCormick in this? damn! If only Audrey Landers was in this as well helping her sister figure out the ticket system lol. Oh and soggy pizza is superb. Flat 7 Up is only good if it's been refrigerated. BTW, I worship at the house of self indulgence.
Yum-Yum January 7, 2011 at 10:35 PM
How cute was Maureen McCormick? I'm gonna say she was super-cute.
Having both Judy and Audrey Landers play the Skatetown ticket booth attendees is a brilliant idea.
Thanks for the worship-based compliment and the tip regarding flat 7 UP.

What an awesome review! I think I saw this in the theater.
Love your site, came across it looking for a review of Thank God It's Friday. I should leave a comment there too, that was a great review as well. I've added you to my RSS.

I have a weak spot for trend themed gimmicky movies and i'm definitely gonna check this one and Roller Boogie out.
Made me think of two other features.
The semi-documentary Skateboard Madness from 1980. A weird collage of skits, beautiful skating scenes (both skateboarding and rollerskating), animations and fictional scenes.
...and the extremely entertaining Japanese movie Mismatched Couples from 1985. A utterly surreal mix of breakdance, kung fu, slapstick humor, romance and weird characters, starring Donnie Yen. It's one of the most outrageous 80's movie i've ever seen.
Yum-Yum March 8, 2011 at 9:38 PM
Those are some cool sounding flicks, man. Consider Mismatched Couples (Donnie Yen!!!) and Skateboard Madness added to my list.
Bradley Gittings October 27, 2014 at 9:28 PM
Hi Yum-Yum. Just to let you know that I've been holding up the torch for Skatetown USA to be released onto Blu-ray over on Home Theater Forum (www.hometheaterforum.com). Here's the link to my thread over at HTF.
http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/329687-skatetown-usa-patrick-swayzes-1st-feature-role-will-sony-ever-release-it/?hl=%2Bskatetown+%2Busa
I've also hit up Twilight Time boutique house (who put out rare & out of print films on Blu-ray in limited releases (3000 units) ) to see if they could get Sony/Columbia to lease out this title. Not much progress so far (TT joked with me if they got it and released it that I (Brad) would have to buy all 3000 copies at $29.95 a pop).
TT puts out some impressive stuff. I just finished watching TT's releases of "The Blob (1988)" and "Audrey Rose" (1977). Excellent blus.
Anyway link to TT's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/twilighttimemovies
Stay in touch. Love reading and re-reading your blog (though I haven't updated mine much, I've been on FB a bit (Kyrsten Brad on FB).
Yum-Yum October 27, 2014 at 10:12 PM
Given that the film stars Patrick Swayze, I always figured releasing a remastered version of Skatetown, USA would be a no brainer. But things are obviously more complicated than that.
Oh, the brownish, burnt sienna look of the print I watched is unacceptable (my screencaps from this flick are heinous-looking).
Bradley Gittings December 31, 2014 at 9:08 AM
Hi Yum-Yum: Happy New Year 2015. Anyway I got a copy of Skatetown USA from Vintage Shack and this is probably the best copy anywhere as someone there apparently did some restoration work. Not quite up to par with a commercially released Blu or DVD but probably the best available until Sony/Columbia ponies up for a properly-done Blu-ray / DVD release. Godspeed.
Oh the website is www.vintageshack.com
I'll make sure to pass this info along to the fine folks at Eyesore Cinema, as they've been wanting to replace their copy with something a little more presentable.

KANSAS CITY James Neal Jersey , Mo. — The Cincinnati Reds have the worst record in the National League at 24-43, but they still have a better record than the Kansas City Royals.
Mahle (4-6, 4.33 ERA) is 1-0 in two June starts, allowing 11 hits and two earned runs in 10 innings, while striking out 11 and walking four.
Rizzo drove in his second run of the game in the seventh inning to snap a tie, Kyle Schwarber followed with a solo homer in the eighth and the Cubs rebounded from an early three-run deficit to edge the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Tuesday for their fifth straight win.
Justin Wilson (3-2) Luca Sbisa Jersey , the second of Chicago's four relievers, pitched a scoreless seventh to earn the win. Pedro Strop pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save in four chances.


Last week I've self-published my first book called "Writing An Interpreter In Go", which you can get at interpreterbook.com. I want to tell you a little bit about why I chose to write this particular book.
Sometimes I jokingly call the summer of 2015 my "Summer Of Lisp". But, honestly, I'm only half joking when I say this. It really was a great and Lispy summer programming-wise: I was working through the final chapters of Structure And Interpretation Of Computer Programs (SICP), which I began studying at the beginning of that year, was totally fascinated by Lisp, enamored by Scheme and also starting to learn Clojure by working through the fantastic The Joy Of Clojure.
SICP had an immense impact on me. It's a wonderful book, full of elegant code and ideas; it hearkens "to a programming life that if true, would be an absolute blast to live in". Especially the fourth chapter made a lasting impression. In this chapter, Abelson and Sussmann show the reader how to implement the so called "meta-circular evaluator" - a Lisp interpreter in Lisp. "Mesmerized" is probably the word I'd use to describe myself while reading this chapter.
The code for the meta-circular evaluator is elegant and simple. Around 400 lines of Scheme, stripped down to the essentials and doing exactly what they are supposed to. It's a beautiful piece of software. I asked a friend to design a poster for me, containing only the source code for the meta-circular interpreter, beautifully formatted. That poster hung next to my office desk for over a year.
But soon I discovered why it's only 400 lines. The code presented in the book skips the implementation of an entire component - the parser. Huh. But how does a parser work then? I was stumped. I really wanted to know how that parser works. And I almost never want to skip anything I don't know yet. I really want to know how things work, at least in a rough sense. Black boxes and skipping things always leave me wanting to dig deeper.
That's why you need to learn how [compilers] work. That's why you, yes you personally, need to write one.
You'll be able to fix that dang syntax highlighting.
You'll be able to write that doc extractor.
You'll be able to fix the broken indentation in Eclipse.
You won't have to wait for your tools to catch up.
You'll be able to jump in and help fix all those problems with your favorite language.
Without having taken a compiler course in college or even having a computer science degree I set out to write a compiler. The first goal, I determined, is to get a foot in the door and write an interpreter. Interpreters are closely related to compilers, but easier to understand and to build for beginners. But most importantly, this time there would be no skipping of anything. This interpreter will be built from scratch!
What I found was that a lot of resources for interpreters or compilers are either incredibly heavy on theory or barely scratching the surface. It's either the dragon book or a blog post about a 50 line Lisp interpreter. The complete theory with code in the appendix or an introduction and overview with black boxes.
Every piece of writing helped though. Slowly but surely I was completing work on my interpreter. The tiny tutorials, the slightly longer blog posts and the heavy compiler books - I could find something useful in all of them.
Somehow this turned into me giving myself a motivational speech.
And here we are, 11 month later, and "Writing An Interpreter In Go" is available to the public. It has around 200 pages and presents the complete and working interpreter for the Monkey programming language, including the lexer, the parser, the evaluator and also including tests. No black boxes, no 3rd party tools and no skipping of anything. Nearly every page contains a piece of code. I'm really proud of this book.


How do you make your face look youthful and fresh?
1.) Simply Shea Facial Emollient is PERFECT for naturally dry facial skin. (If you have oily skin, skip this one... if you have combination oily/dry, then use it on dry days or dry facial areas at night only).
To use, scoop a pea size amount into the palm of your hands, rub a bit, and then use your fingers to apply to your face. I don't recommend applying directly from the container to your face, because it may come on too thick and heavy using this approach. Your skin will be soft, smooth, and ready for your make up, or leave as-is!
2.) Naturally tinted lip balm in shades of Crimson Rose, French Plum and Copper Glow... pick a shade that complements your best features or clothing. The color in each lip balm gives a beautiful, noticeable shade to your lips without looking garish.
This collection comes with all three lip balm colors, plus the Simply Shea Facial Emollient, in a muslin tote bag.
I absolutely love the Simply Shea! I wasn't sure that I would since I have oily skin but I use just a little on those fine wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. It's not greasy at all and goes on great! The tinted lip balms are wonderful too. These are not super dark like a regular lipstick but more like the natural lip balm with a little color. Love these products!
I have used another product for years and was hesitant to change. I tried Simply Shea before bed and am happy with the way my face feels. It's a little harder to rub in without stretching my skin, but do so in an upward motion. No greasy residue left on my pillow, either.
I like just the hint of lip color using the lip balms as well as the moisture left on my lips.
This is really a lovely bundle, would make a nice gift. My review is on the actual products, which I bought this bundle to try. I find the colors don't really show up on my lips, and I prefer the peppermint flavor. I don't know if the Shea butter is a good product for my skin, slightly heavy. And sadly, it comes in a plastic jar instead of glass or tin.
I really appreciate that the tinted lip balms were combined with the Simply Shea facial emollient, as I use both! The lip balms are a great lipstick replacement too!
EXCELLENT replacement for lipstick. Comfortable to wear and natural looking.

Four district MVPs selected to THSCA basketball all-star game
By Angel Verdejo on April 18, 2012 at 2:59 PM

Journal of Communication and Behavioural Sciences (ISSN 2668-9650) is the successor of the Annals of Spiru Haret University. Journalism Studies (ISSN 1454-9492) which was active between 2000 and 2019, being published annually until 2011, and biannually from volume 12 onwards.The decision to change the title of the journal was made following the increasing requests that we received lately from our collaborators who were interested in publishing their studies in the field of Behavioural Sciences. At the same time, from the desire to narrow the research area of the topics of the articles in the journal, but also taking into account the new research trends at international level, we decided that the new title is more suited to the content that the journal hosts starting with 2020.
