had to shake things up if they wanted to have a shot against Inglewood on Friday.

In what was expected to be a heated fight between two teams of equal conference records, each running 2-1 in Ocean League play prior to the game, the pressure was on for the Vikings, who put forth a tremendous effort, but eventually fell to the Sentinels, 19-18.

The Vikings fell behind quickly in the homecoming matchup, surrendering a touchdown to Inglewood in the third

minute on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Shashaun Alexander to wide receiver James Grace, both of whom are seniors.

But the Samohi squad was not easily discouraged, battling back and marking up three on a successful 38-yard field goal by senior kicker Jake Schmidt.

Following another Sentinel touchdown near the end of the first period on an Alexander keeper in the red zone, the Vikings were set to fight their way out of a corner once again, and in order to prevail against the talented Inglewood defense, some serious offensive punches would be necessary.

So senior quarterback Garrett Safron began to throw.

“I talked to [Inglewood] coach [Charles] Mincy earlier and he let his game plan out: he said he was going to bring heat. I knew it was coming. We all knew it was coming,” said Samohi Head Coach Travis Clark about shaping his pass offense against Inglewood. “Everybody’s been bringing heat on [Safron] because you’ve got to put pressure on him. So we just tried to get him out of the pocket, change it up a little bit.”

The Vikings had Safron line up in the shotgun on a number of plays against Inglewood, allowing him a bit more room and time when passing, and encouraged SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 9

DOWNTOWN Tammy McLeod has always been a little competitive.

Just months after picking up ballroom dancing, McLeod, 32, was already training to compete. After a venture into scuba diving, McLeod took more and more classes until she became a certified rescue diver. And most recently? McLeod turned her interest in Sudoku — everyone’s favorite time-passing numbers game — into a national championship title.

“I sometimes find it hard to do things just for the sake of doing,” McLeod, who works for Google in Santa Monica, said. “If there’s a competitive aspect involved, it makes it that much more exciting.”

McLeod got serious about Sudoku less than three years ago while she was traveling on business. Though she had tried the game before, this time she really got hooked.

Within a few months, McLeod had entered herself in the National Sudoku Championship.

“It’s open to everybody, which is why I decided to just try it,” McLeod said. “I said, ‘Hey, why not.’”

A few qualifying rounds later, that “Hey, why not” turned into a second place win.

A year later in 2008, McLeod returned to the competition to place third, and this year, in Philadelphia, at the end of October,

BATTLE FOR POSITION

Morgan Genser news@smdp.com St. Anthony defender Gerald Jackson (left) battles St. Monica wide receiver Danny White for a pass Saturday at Santa Monica College's Corsair Field. St. Anthony won the game, 20-13. St. Monica's record falls to 2-6 overall and 0-4 in the Santa Fe League.

Carrey’s ‘Christmas Carol’ tops box office LOS ANGELES Jim Carrey’s Scrooge collected holiday donations from movie fans with his new take on “A Christmas Carol,” which took in $31 million to open as the weekend’s top movie.

The Disney animated version of the Charles Dickens classic knocked the King of Pop out of the No. 1 spot as “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” slipped to second place with $14 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Sony’s “This Is It,” presenting rehearsal performances Jackson shot before his death last June, raised its domestic total to $57.9 million. Worldwide, “This Is It” has taken in $186.5 million.

Featuring Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge and also as the three holiday ghosts that show Scrooge the error of his miserly ways, “A Christmas Carol” came in on the low end of Disney’s expectations for opening weekend.

On the other end of the spectrum,

Lionsgate’s acclaimed drama “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” had a spectacular start, pulling in $1.8 million in just 18 theaters, averaging $100,000 a cinema. That compares with an $8,418 average for “A Christmas Carol” in 3,683 theaters.

“Precious” had a record average for films opening in 10 or more theaters. Others that have averaged $100,000 or more typically debut in only a few cinemas.

The weekend brought a rush of other new movies, led by George Clooney’s comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” which finished at No. 3 with $13.3 million. The Overture Films release is a satiric look at U.S. military efforts to create “warrior monks” who can predict the future or walk through walls.

Debuting in fourth place with $12.5 million was Universal’s “The Fourth Kind,” starring Milla Jovovich as a psychologist studying alien abductions in Alaska.

fi tale “The Box” opened at No. 6 with $7.9 million. The Warner Bros. thriller centers on a couple given a mysterious box that can provide them $1 million, but at the cost of a stranger’s life.

With nearly two months of playing time through the holidays, Disney is counting on steady business for “A Christmas Carol,” particularly over Thanksgiving weekend and in the buildup to Christmas itself.

“You have to play these things for the long term,” said Chuck Viane, Disney’s head of distribution. “You’ve got to have the patience and you’ve got to pick the right weekend. For us, the days when the malls turned to Christmas stores is when we wanted to go.”

Director Robert Zemeckis shot the movie using the same performance-capture technology used on his 2004 holiday offering “The Polar Express.” Carrey and his costars acted on a bare soundstage as digital cameras caught their performances.

If holiday travelers on the same plane compare what they paid to fly, they’re likely to find quite a spread, depending on when they bought their tickets.

Fares for travel around the holidays have been rising since late summer. Christmas fares are now running 4 percent below a year ago, and the gap is likely to disappear soon.

Contrast that with a year ago, when the airlines essentially put the holiday travel season on sale. With the recession in full force, airlines used discounting to fill seats.

People who waited to book holiday fares last year saved money. This year, holding off could cost you.

Most carriers pushed through a $10 fare increase at the end of October. For the holidays, the big airlines added a $20 surcharge each way on popular travel days closest to Christmas and New Year’s.

Tom Parsons of BestFares.com compared holiday fares purchased on July 1 with the same itinerary booked on Nov 2. Several had risen 50 percent or more. Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had more than doubled to $528.

Airlines have been shrinking to match a decrease in travel. With the supply of seats more in line with demand, carriers have been able to raise fares close to where they were last holiday season.

Average Thanksgiving fares are up 2 percent to $351, according to Bing Travel, the fare-watching Web site owned by Microsoft.

The average Christmas fare is around $370 roundtrip, slightly below a year ago.

Thanksgiving fares “are up quite a bit even from where they were at the beginning of October,” said Joel Grus, who tracks fares for Bing Travel. He also thinks Christmas fares will soon be at last year’s levels.

Given the upward trend in fares, Grus says book now. Check on fares several times a day. Sometimes seats become available at a lower price.

Of course, the cheapest ticket is purchased with frequent flier miles. Airlines only make some seats on each flight available for purchase with frequent flier miles.

EDITOR IN CHIEF

Not crazy about AFM Editor:

Not everyone is thrilled about the AFM (American Film Market) being here in Santa Monica.

Those of us who live near the Loews Hotel where the market is taking place are very negatively impacted.

Between the hotel, AFM and the city’s transportation department no one seems to have the funds to place parking attendants at adjacent parking lots to prevent parking lot abuses by AFM-goers. With all this $11 million in profits I hear about, how about using a bit of it to help the residents out?

Louise Steiner Santa Monica

Slain youth betrayed by a community, not a bullet THE LAST TIME I MADE THE SIGN OF THE

cross was March 3, 2006, as my aunt wailed over the casket of her 15-year-old son. Eddie Lopez was killed by a single gunshot that hit his back and penetrated his heart. His last words were “my mom … ” and his eyes shut forever. He fell by a tree in front of the theater where I often performed. A stranger who heard the gunshot held Eddie’s head in the last seconds of his short life.

My cousin’s aspirations for college were not cut down in that single moment by a bullet, but over the years by a community that failed to act.

Last Tuesday, not only did we drop upon hearing the gun shots that killed Richard Juarez at Virginia Avenue Park, but the incident also brought back tears of pain and trauma of when Eddie passed away. Some youths in Santa Monica, like the teen who killed my cousin, lack the self-discovery, the discipline, and the courage to change the courses of their lives. The fault lies not with those youths, but with community members who ignore the social problems taking place in their own backyards.

How can we, as Santa Monica residents, make a difference in the lives of our youths to keep them from becoming entangled in gang life? The answer lies in a renewed commitment to public service. Most Santa Monica residents are highly qualified and capable of enabling at-risk youths to succeed in the face of their struggles. By volunteering with local youth organizations, residents can bring hope and guidance. We can collaborate with their teachers and counselors to keep our youth on track with their academics. We can introduce them to new skills, not only technical skills like how to build a Web site, but life skills that help them to fulfill their potential. We can serve as the role models for a generation at risk.

I know the importance of a strong role model and mentor. I was 13 years old when Leigh Curran, founder of The Virginia Avenue Project (VAP), reached out to me. She spoke to my mother about how theater and spoken poetry would allow me to gain confidence. The VAP is an afterschool program in Santa Monica that uses the performing arts in conjunction with long-term, one-on-one mentoring to help kids discover their potential. By continuously checking my progress, Leigh provided me with attention, hope, and confidence so that I could imagine going to USC and graduate from a school like Harvard. Leigh could not have done this without the local professional artists who volunteered at the VAP. Some people outside of Santa Monica may be surprised that my cousin was killed precisely here. However, this incident — and similar shootings like the one last week — under the glitz of a wealthy city, not far from the former residence of Gov. Schwarzenegger.

Youth violence plagues all cities and

affects families from of all backgrounds. The Pico Neighborhood is sporadically infested by the same kind of violence found in the rough neighborhoods in East Los Angeles or Compton. Similarly, the Pico Neighborhood has a significantly larger Latino population than the rest of the city and a higher percentage of children.

Comprised mainly of renters, the neighborhood is home to many families with median household incomes below the poverty level. Impoverished youths often resort to gang life as an alternative to the mainstream norms of an education and career. In fact, through its own street-culture norms and activities, gang life itself often thwarts youths from completing their educations or realizing their potential.

According to a 2008 Harvard report, nearly half of the Latino and African-American students enrolled in California high schools in 2005 failed to graduate.

Youth are not violent by nature. They become violent. Programs like the VAP in Santa Monica are necessary in the Pico Neighborhood. In fact, 100 percent of participants from the VAP graduate from high school, 90 percent go to college, and 85 percent are the first in their family to do so. If the teenager who took Eddie’s life had a mentor, maybe today Eddie, an honor student and captain of the Santa Monica High baseball team, would now be the freshman at Princeton that he aspired to be. At-risk youth need our attention. When we fail to provide the adequate resources and services they need, youth are more likely to seek that attention from a gang.

We must never stop looking for alternatives that will help underprivileged youth succeed. Making the sign of the cross is not the solution. It is the end of a failed process that led to Eddie’s and Richard’s deaths among others, and to the incarceration of the teenager who took his life. Hope is driven by empathy, affection, and attention from mentors like those at the VAP. Environmental pressures and cultural identity issues are a constant source of consternation that handicap youth from acquiring the tools necessary to achieve purpose in the face of uncertainty. To imagine possibility by trumping the politics of probability is a skill that should not be expected from a child but provided by a collective force of civic engagement. On your next Saturday morning errand run, consider stopping by Virginia Avenue Park to rap, dance, and paint at the Teen Center with one of us.

McKeown penned an impassioned commentary on the pending Expo Light Rail (Phase 2) extension from Culver City into Santa Monica in this publication (Your Column Here, “Councilman stands firm on Expo,” Nov. 5).

McKeown hit the nail on the head when he wrote that the Expo Construction Authority has the ability to overrule any land use restrictions City Hall might impose on the property, currently used by Verizon.“We cannot ‘just say no’ to their maintenance yard,” he wrote.

McKeown points out that nothing was mentioned about a maintenance/storage facility in close proximity to homes and apartments on the south side of Exposition until the publication of the draft environmental impact report in February. Had there been advance notice, City Hall could have possibly helped find another location for the yard besides the Pico Neighborhood, he indicated.

Although not naming her, McKeown is referring to our Councilwoman Pam O’Connor who is on both the Construction Authority Board of Directors and the parent Los Angeles County Metropolitan (Metro) Transportation Authority Board of Directors.

So with the yard being a done deal and Pico neighbors still upset about possible noise and pollution generated by such a facility, now what does the Expo Authority recommend?

They recently notified City Hall they’re considering adding a rail car repair and paint shop and increasing yard rail car storage capacity to 50 cars from the original 30 plus cars. Nothing like making a bad situation even worse.

The final Phase 2 EIR will be ready in January, 2010. What new surprises will be contained therein for the City of Santa Monica? What else has O’Connor not told us?

Lest you think this is all love and kisses to McKeown for standing up for Pico neighbors, he gets my brickbat for falling short on protecting residents living just feet north of the proposed Expo light rail alignment running down the center of Colorado Avenue from 18th Street to Fourth Street.

Wait until Expo starts operation and the vibration from 200-ton trains, brake squeal and other rail noise interferes with Colorado neighborhood peace and quiet from 6 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week.

Neighbors will scream, “Nobody warned us.

We’ve been railroaded!”

McKeown concluded his commentary with “… the prime responsibility of local government is protecting the people who live here.” While McKeown advocates for the vocal and well organized Pico Neighborhood Association, how about the Mid-City folk

who’ve been mostly quiet — not because they know what’s coming and don’t care, but because they don’t know what’s coming.

A DEATH IN VIRGINIA PARK

Last Tuesday evening, a 20-year-old Santa Monica man left an art class at the Virginia Avenue Park Teen Center with three friends and was quickly set upon by two young males. Gunfire rang out and Richard Juarez was shot and killed. His three friends ran and escaped injury.

Santa Monica Police Sgt. Mike Federico on patrol a block away deployed and quickly detained two suspects in a vehicle and assisted in apprehending two more suspects who fled down 22nd Street on foot.

Three adults — two black males from Los Angeles and one white male from Lancaster, Calif., ranging from 18 to 33 years of age -— and a juvenile male were charged with murder, attempted murder and promoting a criminal street gang. The Los Angeles Times reported all four were reputed gang members. Other news reports suggested the shooting might be in retaliation for the murder of a young black male in Venice, literally hours earlier, allegedly

by Santa Monica gang members.

I was intrigued about the age range of the alleged shooters and was told by SMPD Gang Unit lead Sgt. Joe Gardner that the age range of a gang’s members can go from as low as 14 to well into the 50s and that racially identified gangs often have members who are of different races.

Although he embraced the hip-hop, “gangsta” culture as evidenced by his MySpace page, friends and associates say that Richard Juarez wasn’t in a gang and “was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

How can being next to a youth activities facility in a city park at 8:50 p.m. be “the wrong place at the wrong time?” Comments on Page 1 of this newspaper (“’Brazen’ attack leaves man dead,” Nov. 5) suggested Juarez may have been targeted because of the clothes he wore. That may be an oversimplification. The shooters probably also targeted Juarez and his friends because they were young males, Hispanic, had shaved heads or tattoos and were accessible. How senseless.

I didn’t know Richard Juarez, but I’ve heard he was a gifted artist and a caring young man. His passing, like that of so many young men before him who’ve been cut down in their prime by thugs and gangsters with no regard for human life, is a tragedy.

My condolences to his family and friends.

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: Are wind farms beautiful or ugly? It depends on who you ask: Those in favor of wind energy extol the visual virtues of the turbines’ graceful sculptural lines and view them as symbolic of an exciting, modern age of clean, renewable energy. Detractors begrudge them for destroying their pastoral views like 'machines intruding in a garden.'

Easy on the eyes?

Dear EarthTalk I don’t understand why many people oppose wind power just because they have to look at the turbines. If you ask me, wind turbines are much nicer-looking than coalfired, waste-to-energy or nuclear power plants.

Michael Hart via e-mail

WHETHER

IT’S

A

WIND

FARM,

A

coal-fired power plant, a nuclear reactor or even just a big box store, there are always going to be locals opposed to it, declaring “not in my back yard!” (NIMBY).

As to the attractiveness of wind farms, people do seem to come down on one side or the other rather vehemently.

Those in favor of wind development have been known to extol the visual virtues of a horizon full of windmills not only for the turbines’ graceful sculptural lines but also for the fact that their very presence advertises the coming of a modern, almost futuristic age of clean, renewable energy.

Writing in the online magazine Contemporary Aesthetics, Yuriko Saito waxes eloquent about the visual appeal of wind farms when created thoughtfully. “[I]t is possible to create an aesthetically pleasing effect by choosing the color, shape and height of the turbines appropriate…to the particular landscape, making them uniform in their appearance and movement, and…arranging them in proportion to the landscape,” he says. “One writer admires the windmills in Sweden as ‘graceful objects’ because ‘the slender airfoils seem both delicate and powerful…while their gentle motion imparts a living kinetic nature’.”

On the flip side, detractors begrudge wind turbines for destroying their views — a classic NIMBY stance. According to Saito,

opposition to wind farms stems from their being sited on previously “open, unhindered lands” and as such “are viewed as machines intruding in a garden.” He adds: “[T]hey are almost invariably decried as ‘marring’, ‘spoiling’, ‘ruining’, and ‘intruding on’ the otherwise relatively natural landscape, such as desert, open field, mountainside, and…ocean, and for creating an ‘eyesore’.”

Respondents to a survey by the British magazine Country Life listed wind turbines as the most egregious type of architectural blemish across England. They disliked wind farms even more than other “eyesores” — such as highway service areas, conventional power stations and ugly office buildings — because of the size of the turbines, some of which are 300 feet tall, and their intrusion on the landscape.

Opponents of a proposed wind farm in the waters of Massachusetts’ Nantucket Sound cite similar gripes. The builder, Cape Wind Associates, has campaigned for seven years for approval of the development, to be located 16 miles off the shore of Nantucket Island. Homeowners, politicians and some evidently conflicted environmentalists have mounted stiff opposition to the facility, which would appear from shore as distant white smears on the horizon. The decision rests with the U.S. Interior Department which, despite stated desires to expand offshore wind energy, is taking its time on the highly contentious matter.

But with wind now the hottest renewable energy source going, those opposed to seeing windmills better get used to it. In 2008 wind power provided 1.5 percent of global electricity — having doubled its output every year now for five years in a row — and should account for as much as eight percent by 2018.

McLeod always up for a challenge FROM CP PAGE 1 McLeod beat the two-time world Sudoku champion to snatch first.

“Surprise is really the biggest emotion I’ve been feeling,” McLeod said of winning the title. “I was just happy to be in the finals.”

Having completed her puzzle flawlessly in 7 minutes and 41 seconds, McLeod earned herself a $10,000 prize, an iPod, a trophy and a spot on the U.S. Sudoku team. She will compete in the World Sudoku Championship back in Philadelphia in April.

Despite having three major Sudoku competitions under her belt, McLeod still gets nervous.

“When I’m up there I have to focus to try to get all the nervousness out,” McLeod, who has also participated in math and chess tournaments, said. “I just pay attention to nothing else but the paper in front of me, and that’s how I get through it.”

This focus is impressive, considering McLeod has two very important things on her mind: her husband of three years and her 14-month-old daughter who both traveled to Philadelphia to cheer her on.

“My husband is very supportive,” McLeod said. “It’s very difficult and a lot of work to travel with a young child.”

Originally from Singapore, McLeod has done a fair amount of traveling herself.

The programmer for Google’s Picasa Web Albums moved to the U.S. as a student to attend MIT. From there, she was drawn to the West Coast, where the winters weren’t quite so harsh and the climate reminded her more of home.

“I go back every one or two years,” McLeod said of Singapore. “In September, I brought the baby back to visit her grandparents. It’s hard, but every time I move I have a good reason for it ... Moving is just something that needs to be done.”

McLeod’s has moved extensively around Southern California as well, having lived everywhere from San Diego to Orange County. Now working for Google, McLeod start-

ed her family just beyond the city’s borders, living on Santa Monica Boulevard in West L.A. “I’m comfortable there because there’s so many people from all the world living in the area. I’m not out of place,” McLeod said. “I guess cosmopolitan is good word for that. I can be part of this city even though I haven’t been there all that long.”

McLeod also feels it’s good to have finally settled.

“I’ve lived in many, many places,” McLeod said. “Staying in one place feels good.”

Having been in the Santa Monica area for four years now, McLeod says she loves both the feeling of acceptance and the historic Santa Monica Pier. Though work and parenting don’t give her much time on her own, McLeod enjoys focusing on the baby and family field trips on the weekends.

“We might bring her to one of the parks ... We might go to the zoo in L.A. [or] bring her to the Farmers’ Market,” McLeod said. “We bring her out and about to eat stuff, do things.”

Keeping up with the busy life of a parent, McLeod is thankful that Sudoku is something she can pick up even while she’s looking after her daughter. About a month or two before a competition, McLeod begins to practice Sudoku every day. Some of her other hobbies, however, will have to wait until the baby is a little older.

“To go on a trip to dive, I need 5 or 6 hours. For dancing, I need to practice and take lessons,” McLeod said. “I can’t right now, [but] I plan to go back in a few years.”

Until then, McLeod will continue Sudoku. She says she never plans on starting another activity until she stumbles across something new that piques her interest. In this way, McLeod can feed her competitive appetite and watch herself improve.

“When I do puzzles, I like to time myself. I have a way of seeing my progress, of different ways to measure my own ability,” McLeod said. “I think that I like being able to compare [myself] to other people or compare myself to myself to see my own improvement.” news@smdp.com

Morgan Genser news@smdp.com TOUGH DEFENSE: Santa Monica’s Dylan Muskat (right) attempts to challege Inglewood's Devon Johnson for the football Friday at Santa Monica College's Corsair Field. Inglewood won the game, 1918. With the loss, Samohi falls to 3-6 overall and 2-2 in Ocean League play.

The senior, who passed for 96 yards, benefited from the extra time, scrambling from trouble and connecting with senior wide receiver Mike Smith on a 58-yard sideline pass which set the Vikings up a few plays later for a 6-yard touchdown pass to senior halfback Luke Zelon.

Another long and successful Schmidt

field goal, this time for 40 yards, would tie the game at 12-12 to close the first half.

But pushing the ball back from the line of scrimmage, especially during the second half, proved dangerous for the Vikings, who lost a total of 33 yards in sacks on Safron.

Though they were able to force another touchdown by the end of the third minute of the final period, a second failed extra point

Samohi heads into final week FROM FOOTBALL PAGE 9

SURF CONDITIONS

WATER TEMP: 61°

ously with only a 6-point advantage.

Just more than two minutes after taking their fist lead of the game, the Santa Monica defense surrendered another touchdown on another Alexander keeper, and after a successful extra point, the Sentinels had chalked up the final points of the game.

For the remaining seven minutes, the Vikings struggled to put something together, eventually punting it away and watching Inglewood kneel their way to a victory.

Following the game, Clark expressed both pride and disappointment in Schmidt, but insisted that he remains proud of his team despite the loss.

“I’m more proud of them in this loss than any win we’ve had all season,” he said. “I feel like my boys are winners tonight.”

Aside from the failed extra points after, which proved especially detrimental in the single-point defeat, team leaders said that personal breakdowns at other positions were also

key factors in determining the game’s result.

“Nothing really went wrong, we just needed to execute more,” said Smith, who had 81 receiving yards on the evening. “On one of the plays, I could have had the chance to catch the ball, but I saw the safety and I just shied away. I just need to focus on catching the ball and taking the hit.”

The loss, which brings the Vikings’ record to 2-2 in league, will mean that the team will not qualify for either of the top two seeds in the Ocean League playoffs.

Though all chances of a playoff run are not lost, Santa Monica will need a victory next week over Hawthorne — a team without a win this season — in order to secure the third and final automatic bid from the league.

“I don’t think anyone really realizes the situation that we’re in — that we’re still in the playoffs,” Zelon said. “I think we’ll come back next week.” news@smdp.com

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ Another Driver Poor at Multitasking: A German truck driver in his 30s crashed his 18-wheeler near Boras, Sweden, in September, and though not seriously hurt, was pinned, immobile, in the wreckage.

When rescuers and police first saw him, they noted that the trapped driver's genitals were exposed and that his hand was clasped in his genital area.

■ Embarrassing: (1) Zach Schultz of Denver became the most recent victim of wind, costing him his car.

While driving down Colorado Boulevard in July, he tossed a lit cigarette out the window, but it landed in the back seat and set the car on fire, and he was not able to save it. (2) Sylvester Jiles, 24, became the most recent casualty among former inmates who try to break back into prisons (in Jiles' case, to seek "protection" from threats to his life on the outside). In August in Brevard County, Fla., Jiles was hospitalized for a heavy loss of blood that resulted when he fell into the razor wire inside the wall.

■ "Anal-wart researcher" (visual inspection being the only way to detect anal cancer from the human papillomavirus) heads Popular Science magazine's second annual November list, in 2004, of the worst jobs in science. However, "worm parasitologist" can be just as challenging, especially for anyone studying the Dracunculus medinensis (which can settle in humans to a length of 3 feet and then must be removed carefully after its thousands of offspring burst through the skin). Other contenders: "tampon squeezer" for the study of vaginal infections; a Lyme-disease "tick attractor" (who must sing, to keep bears away, while trolling in the woods); and "monitors" at warm-climate landfills (where garbage has been reduced to steamy, liquid condensates).
