At Phillies' camp in Clearwater, Fla. on Thursday, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt offered a sober stance on the Hall of Fame credentials of great players suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs during the late 1990s and early 2000s, saying he would not object to Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds entering Cooperstown since neither has failed "a legitimate test."
Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports:
"I really feel uneasy about linking players of that era to PEDs who may not have been involved, players where there may be suspicion of involvement," Schmidt said. "I think it's totally wrong that that whole generation is being linked to PEDs. If you had a friend that used them you're linked to them. It seems now if you're a Hall of Fame-caliber player that you're going to have a really tough time getting in the Hall of Fame. It's really too bad. It's a problem we have in our sport right now, but time will cure it."
Mike Schmidt's right, you know.
If the Hall of Fame essentially blackballs an entire generation of baseball players based on circumstantial evidence and speculation, it risks nose-diving into irrelevance. Being a Hall of Famer won't mean nearly as much if several of the greatest players of all-time are never called Hall of Famers.
There may be more evidence linking Bonds and Clemens to steroids than many of their similarly shunned contemporaries, but as Schmidt points out, neither ever failed "a legitimate test" or was suspended by Major League Baseball for using illicit substances. Beyond that, all of Bonds' home runs and all of Clemens' strikeouts counted – and still count – and helped their teams win ballgames. Unless those feats are somehow stricken from the record, the players responsible for them stand as some of the most valuable in the history of the game.
Those players were never adequately policed while they were playing, so it's downright silly to try to police them now. Playing hunches and picking favorites when electing Hall of Famers will only end with a handful of guys who did use steroids making the Hall of Fame because they were able to defy suspicion for whatever reason, and maybe also some guys who never used steroids missing out just because they hit a lot of home runs in an era when too many guys hit too many home runs.
That's not to excuse steroid use, of course. But as long as people have been paid to play baseball, they have sought competitive advantages -- from the latest advancements in medical treatment and training to more nefarious methods, like amphetamines and steroids and elixirs made from monkey gonads. And players will continue to seek competitive advantages for as long as they're paid to play baseball. The burden is on the league to keep the proverbial playing field level.
Schmidt knows what's up:
"I believe those are moral issues that men have to deal with themselves internally. They're decisions men make for whatever reason, caught up in the world in which they play, the big-money environment in which they play. They're all being penalized tremendously for the association. You can't penalize these guys much more than they are."
That's just it. If guys did something they know or believe to be egregiously wrong, they'll suffer with it forever. It's not my place or your place to judge when we've all got our own closets full of selfish and greedy misdeeds. And it certainly shouldn't be the burden of the Baseball Writers Association of America to attempt to police the integrity of ex-ballplayers, as the Hall of Fame suggests by including a morality clause on its annual ballot.
The plaques on the wall of the Hall of Fame celebrate great baseball players. But great baseball players are humans, and humans are human, so the Hall of Fame's ranks include no shortage of drunks, liars, racists and wife-beaters, not to mention guys who sharpened their spikes and doctored the ball and distributed greenies. Great people -- wherever they are -- can sleep soundly, above reproach. Great baseball players should make the Hall of Fame.

WASHINGTON — Wading into the "war on Christmas" furies, the committee that runs operations of the House of Representatives issued a policy allowing lawmakers to include holiday greetings in official mail to constituents.
In an announcement Wednesday, House Administration Committee Chairman Candice Miller, R-Mich., wrote:
"I am pleased to announce that, effective immediately, Members of the House may include holiday greetings in their communications to constituents. In the past, including any form of a holiday greeting was banned. While still prohibiting the misuse of official funds, this new commonsense policy allows Members to share their holiday wishes with constituents in otherwise official communications. I feel it is entirely appropriate for members of Congress to include a simple holiday salutation, whether it is Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and so on. "
Members of Congress are given free postage – called "franking" – to send official mail to their constituents, but the contents of that mail are regulated by a congressional "Franking Commission," which Miller also chairs. The general rule is that mailings sent out under the frank are supposed to be official business only, not political material – newsletters describing the lawmakers' legislation or announcing public events in the district, that sort of thing.
The House apparently concluded that being official does not have to mean being unfestive.

I got my 820 about a week ago. Today when I came home I sat my 820 on the table, came back to see if I had any messages. The phone had seem to shut itself off. I pressed the power button but nothing happened. So I did a "Blackberry" and pulled the battery out, then back in, powered it up and now it's back to normal. This has happened twice already. The phone was at 92%. Any one have similar issues? Bad battery? Bad phone?

I recently switched from an 8x to an 822. I had the 822 for two days and it turned itself off 4 times, first 2 times I turned it back on normally, 3rd time required a battery pull and the forth a soft reset. Called Verizon, they overnighted me a replacement, and I have had no problems for the last two day.
Long story short, if you are in the window to return you phone for a new one, I would. I could not because I have been through 3 8x's & 2 822's...pretty much have the worst luck with wp8 devices, but I think I have a good one now. Haha

I've just had the same 'dead' experience with my Lumia 820 (which I've now had since the 8th December).
I had to use the following method to reboot :
- hold volume down button + camera button
- hold power button directly after the above, whilst still pressing the other two
- release power button once it vibrates, but still hold down volume down + camera buttons
The phone THEN kicked itself back into play, and lucky for me all my contacts, photos, music, games, were still saved.
However, the phone decided that the date in the UK is 1st September 2012, and the time was 00:12
I've had to manually re-adjust these, and then move the slider so that the automatic time and date change continue (hopefully).
What the heck made this happen?

Skip to comments.Christ 'Coffin' Empty (Review of Lost Tomb of Jesus: Al Capones vault has met its match)
Posted on 02/28/2007 7:58:26 AM PST by dead
AL Capone's vault has met its match.
I'm no scientist, but after watching a bunch of people who are scientists sift through the dust and bones of a 2000-year-old family burial chamber in Jerusalem, I have to offer this unscientific conclusion: There ain't no way them bones belong to Jesus.
Or, if they are his bones, they don't come anywhere near proving it in "The Lost Tomb of Jesus," the Discovery Channel documentary that is supposed to rock Christianity to its very foundations.
Well, I have some good news for Christianity: Your foundations are safe.
Why were they going to be rocked in the first place? Because if the bones turned out to be Jesus', then the long-held Christian belief that he was resurrected bodily from his grave would have to be reconsidered - perhaps limited to a resurrection that was "merely" spiritual in nature.
< snip >
Laboratories from Israel to Ontario were enlisted to analyze genetic material from old bones and train "electron microprobes" on tiny mounds of patina scraped from the sides of the limestone bone boxes (called "ossuaries").
The tests were aimed at determining if the bones belonged to people who were related to each other and whether the ossuaries came out of the same cave. FYI: The results varied.
The whole process began when scholars realized that the names inscribed on these particular ossuaries mirrored those of the known (or suspected) members of Jesus' family.
What are the odds that this group of people with names common to their place and time were the family of Jesus Christ?
Despite the best efforts of a statistician recruited to stand up the show's hypothesis, the odds remain long indeed.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
more anti-Christian propaganda...
That is the funniest picture ever. Thanks for a great laugh.
A classic!
Imagine the Discovery Channel trying to attack Christianity. Just shocking...
Maybe Jimmy Hoffa.
"I found the tomb of Alexander the Great"
"Big deal. Someone already found it"
"What? You found the tomb of Jesus?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, I found Jesus' tomb. And Mary. And Marvin"
"Jesus' son. Marvin"
"Marvin is not a Biblical name"
"Oh, sorry. It was smudged. It was uhh...er...Judas!!"
"Judas?? He named His son after His betrayer?"
"Huh? Oh, no. That was a big..uh..mix up. Entrapment. That's it".
"Hey, Jesus was inscribed with a Sharpie".
"A miracle!!"
Jimmy Hoffa just went home. It was all explained in a documentary called "Men in Black".
All they have to do to establish paternity is to get some DNA from his Father. I'd love to see that process.
Not neccessarily; perhaps the empty ossuary was symbolic of the ressurrection at the time of its placement in the tomb. Who knows what the thinking was at that time of those involved in this burial. The finding of these items does in no way prove, either possitively or negatively, anything about Jesus Christ.
It is either just a coincidence or further addition to the mystery.
When are they going to do a documentary about the wives of Muhammed, including the 7 year old girl he was "married" to?
If James Cameron had done a documentary about Islam,
the islamofascists would already have beheaded this fool.
"But the Da Vinci Code said that Jesus had a daughter!"
"Well, the name on that coffin must be 'Judy' instead of Judas"
"Hey, does this mean the Koran is wrong about prophet Jesus/Isa being taken up to Allah?"
(sound of crickets chirping)
Cool pic! Imagine idiots expecting to find remains in what they think is Jesus' tomb. DUH!
Can we get the Heinekin looter guy in the picture too?
Which is dustier, the two thousand year old tomb, or the empty space between the scientists ears? These self-absorbed academics need to get their elitist noses out of the dark and dirty world, and spend some time in the Bible and appreciate the real light. Enjoy some SONshine!
Obviously, none of us has seen it, so I will watch and judge the conclusions for myself, but...
From what I have read, here are things that I already question:
This tomb was discovered almost 30 years ago, and I'm suspicious that all of a sudden it's big news. If this is really so remarkable then I think we would have heard something sooner.
The inscriptions are in different languages.
They claim it's Mary Magdalene but that's not what the inscriptions says. It uses the form of Mary used to refer to Magdalene, and then tack on this 'e Mara' (the Master) which depicts a whole other side to Mary than depicted in the Bible, and it's just too convenient.
I'm suspicious of an ossuary that gives a Title to a female unless they can show plenty of other evidence of female's being identified in tombs with Titles.
Jose is not identified as the son of Josef on the ossuaries and neither is Mattiu, but Jesus is and so is Yaaqov. So, why assume that they were all brothers, when only 2 ossuaries indicate siblings.
Apparently they haven't done DNA testing on all the remains, so I just don't see what they think they have that proves anything. Other than the remains of Jesus and the remains of Mariamene supposedly show that they are not related, and I guess you might assume that Mariamene was the wife of somebody in that tomb.
They guy who managed the excavation of this site says 'nothing to see here' meaning he doesn't see any significance to the cluster of names, and says this tomb is a middle class family from Jerusalem, not a family from Galilee.
The hype of this discovery obviously is gonna receive backlash from Christians, but it's gonna get even harher remarks from people who might have an open mind because the claims they are making in advertising this are extremely misleading.
It's gonna fall on its face like that Discovery Channel's most recent Al Capone Vault documentary they did which hyped the discovery of the real Atlantis. How many of you were taken along for that 2-hour ride to nowhere?
This whole thing reminds me of a story Steven Wright told about a friend of his that spent an enormous amount of government funding to find out who built the pyramids. After several years of research, his friend's conclusion was that "he was pretty sure it was some guy named Eddie."
The hadith says her "nurse" (the didn't have doctors and nurses in nomadic Bedouin tribes in those days, she was a wet nurse) came and got her from a swing, and after being led by the hand to her house (tent) she was out of breath. A nine year old wouldn't be nursing, and certainly wouldn't be out of breath being led by an older women with lactating breasts. She was placed in Mohammad's lap which indicates her small size, under 6 years old.
later scribes have changed her age to 9 so as to cover the embarrassing fact about Mohammad raping a baby. But they couldn't abrogate it well enough to cover those other detils which give her true age away. She was but a nursing baby child, rapd by a 54 year old murdering pedophile.
Hollywood got the part of the message "Americans enjoy Christian themed movies". Obviously they didn't get the part "so long as those movies aren't about how Christianity is a bunch of hooey".
funny thing about rocks: you can't determine when anything was carved on them. Those names could have been carved yesterday adn there wouldn't be any reliable method of proving it.
This 'discovery' is 25 years old. how come it took so long for such a blockbueter to get out???
I smell the "Cardiff Giant"
Based on this type of scholarship both the Hitler and Howard Hughes diaries not to mention the Piltdown Man are all authentic. I'm waiting for the Discovery Channel to show Jesus' high school graduation photo and the bill for the last supper.
I don't believe a word of it. The ossuary is an obvious ploy to get christians to throw away their "relics'. I am proud of my piece of " John the Baptists skull', a vial of 'Mother Mary's milk' and a wisp of 'hair from Peter'....
Sure are a lot of threads for a decades old non-story. Coast covered this well last night.
Jimmy Hoffa!
Thank you! Thank you! I'm here all week - try the veal!
"...the bill for the last supper."
I always assumed they paid cash. I wonder, was it separate checks, and since there were over 8 in the party, was an 18% tip added on?
I had the same thought when this event first came up, but I bit my tongue because I despise three pages of scripture quotations as "argument".
I can separate my faith (still healthy and strong) from scientific discussions.
There's a complication here.
The story of Jesus is that he actually and physically ascended; no written contradiction among the Gospels.
Mohamed did his "ascention" in a dream.
If I have a dream that I ascended, does that make it "real"?
If not, why not?
Thus was mohamedanism established, and idolatry rooted out, even in mohamed's lifetime (for he died the next year [633]) throughout all Arabia, except only Yamama, where Moiselama, who set up also as a prophet as mohamed's competitor, had a great party, and was not reduced till the Khalifat of Abu Becr: and the Arabs, being then united in one faith and under one prince, found themselves in a condition of making those conquests, which extended the mohammedan faith over so great a part of the world"
I remember him using that quite a few years ago- more than 10 IIRC. Does he still do stand up comedy? Nevermind, I'll go and answer my own question. :-)
LOL. You are a genius!
There is no scientific support for this sort of tabloid documentary. all archeologists I've seen interviewed call this movie maker's thesis: nonsense.
Love the picture! LOL!
I never watch it myself, but I always thought the Discovery Channel was at least moderately serious. Is their other stuff of this -- I hestitate to use the word -- calibre?
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
"Well, the name on that coffin must be 'Judy' instead of Judas"
No sweat:
Ain't going to happen. These people don't have a snowballs chance in hell of making it to Heaven. (Wait, was that confusing?)
I thought He liked Coke :-)
You own me a new keyboard, new monitor and whatever it cost for the trip to ER.
My God that was funny.
I watch a lot of documentary programming, and all the channels -- A&E, Discovery, History, TLC, Court TV, and so on -- can be hit or miss. They all feature a lot of "reality TV" and things like ghost stories, "psychic detectives" and the search for Bigfoot that lead me to change the channel.
Most of their programming is good, entertaining, factual and somewhat informative, but not particularly in-depth or insightful. Most of the Bill Kurtis ouevre falls in that category for me. Maybe 10% is really gripping and educational.
I haven't observed that any one channel is consistently better than the others, except that PBS, which has far fewer hours of documentaries than the networks that carry them 24 hours, has consistently more depth and higher production values. To what degree that's offset by bias or agenda is an argument I'll leave aside for now.
At least I know I'm not missing much -- thanks!
The Kerry pic........now that's funny!!!!!!!!

A man in his mid-60s begins to notice that his memory isn't as good as it used to be. More and more often, a word will be on the tip of his tongue but he just can't remember it. He forgets appointments, makes mistakes when paying his bills, and finds that he's often confused or anxious about the normal hustle and bustle of life around him. One evening, he suddenly finds himself walking in a neighborhood he doesn't recognize. He has no idea how he got there or how to get home.
Not so long ago, this man's condition would have been swept into a broad catch-all category called "senile dementia" or "senility." Although we now know that AD and other causes of dementia are distinct diseases, in the early stages it is difficult to differentiate between the onset of AD and other types of age-related cognitive decline. We have improved our ability to diagnose AD correctly, and doctors experienced in AD can diagnose the disease with up to 90 percent accuracy. A definitive diagnosis of AD, however, is still only possible after death, during an autopsy, and we are still far from the ultimate goal—a reliable, valid, inexpensive, and early diagnostic marker that can be used in any doctor's office.
Early diagnosis has several advantages. For example, many conditions cause symptoms that mimic those of AD. Finding out early that the observed changes in cognitive abilities are not AD but something else is almost always a relief and may be just the prod needed to seek appropriate medical treatment (see "Causes of Dementia" on page 50 for more information). For the small percentage of dementias that are treatable or even reversible, early diagnosis increases the chances of successful treatment. Increasing early diagnosis and improving treatment are among NIA's most important goals.
Even when the cause of a loved one's dementia turns out to be AD, it is best to find out sooner rather than later. One benefit of knowing is medical. The drugs now available to treat AD can help some people maintain their mental abilities for months to years, although they do not change the underlying course of the disease (see "Helping People with AD Maintain their Mental Functioning [1]" for more about these drugs).
Other benefits are practical. The sooner the person with AD and the family have a firm diagnosis, the more time they have to make future living arrangements, handle financial matters, establish a durable power of attorney and advance directives, deal with other legal issues, create a support network, and even consider joining a clinical trial or other research study. Being able to participate for as long as possible in making personal decisions is important to many people with AD.
Early diagnosis also gives families time to recognize that life does not stop with a diagnosis of AD. The person is still able to participate in many of the daily activities he or she has always enjoyed, and families can encourage the person to continue with them for as long as possible. Finally, early diagnosis gives family caregivers the opportunity to learn how to recognize and cope with changes over time in their loved one as well as to develop strategies that support their own physical, emotional, and financial health.
Scientists also see advantages to early diagnosis. Developing tests that can reveal what is happening in the brain in the early stages of AD will help them understand more about the cause and development of the disease. It also will help scientists learn when and how to prescribe the use of drugs and other treatments so they can be most effective.
Current Tools for Diagnosing AD
With the tools now available, experienced physicians can be reasonably confident about making an accurate diagnosis of AD in a living person. Here is how they do it.
They take a detailed patient history, including:
They get information from family members or close friends:
They conduct physical and neurological examinations and laboratory tests:
They conduct neuropsychological testing:
They may do a computed tomography (CT) scan or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test:
Exams and tests may be repeated every so often to give physicians information about how the person's memory and other symptoms are changing over time.
Based on findings from these exams and tests, experienced physicians can diagnose or rule out other causes of dementia, or determine whether the person has MCI, "possible AD" (the symptoms may be due to another cause), or "probable AD" (no other cause for the symptoms can be found).
Causes of Dementia
Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning—thinking, remembering, and reasoning—to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities. It is not a disease itself, but a group of symptoms that often accompanies a disease or condition. Some dementias are caused by neurodegenerative diseases. Dementia also has other causes, some of which are treatable.
Neurodegenerative Diseases That Cause Dementia
Other Causes of Dementia
Scientists are now exploring ways to help physicians diagnose AD earlier and more accurately. For example, some studies are focusing on changes in mental functioning. These changes can be measured through memory and recall tests. Tests that measure a person's abilities in areas such as abstract thinking, planning, and language can help pinpoint changes in these areas of cognitive function. Researchers are working to improve standardized tests that might be used to point to early AD or predict which individuals are at higher risk of developing AD in the future.
Other studies are examining the relationship between early damage to brain tissue and outward clinical signs. Still others are looking for changes in biomarkers in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid that may indicate the progression of AD (see "Very Early Signs and Symptoms [4]" for more on this work).
One of the most exciting areas of ongoing research in this area is neuroimaging. Over the past decade, scientists have developed several highly sophisticated imaging systems that have been used in many areas of medicine, including AD. PET scans, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and MRI are all examples. These "windows" on the living brain may help scientists measure the earliest changes in brain function or structure in order to identify people who are at the very first stages of the disease—well before they develop clinically apparent signs and symptoms.
To help advance this area of research, NIA launched the multi-year AD Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) in 2004. This project is following about 200 cognitively healthy individuals and 400 people with MCI for 3 years and 200 people with early AD for 2 years. Over the course of this study, participants undergo multiple MRI and PET scans so that study staff can assess how the brain changes in the course of normal aging and MCI, and with the progression of AD. By using MRI and PET scans at regularly scheduled intervals, study investigators hope to learn when and where in the brain degeneration occurs as memory problems develop.
Another innovative aspect of ADNI is that scientists are correlating the participants' imaging information with information from clinical, memory, and other cognitive function tests, and with information from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine samples. Results from these samples may provide valuable biomarkers of disease progress, such as changing levels of beta-amyloid and tau, indicators of inflammation, measures of oxidative stress, and changing cognitive abilities.
An important ADNI achievement is the creation of a publicly accessible database of images, biomarker data, and clinical information available to qualified researchers worldwide. Biological samples also are available for approved biomarker projects. NIA hopes that this initiative will help create rigorous imaging and biomarker standards that will provide measures for the success of potential treatments. This would substantially increase the pace and decrease the cost of developing new treatments. The ADNI study is being replicated in similar studies by researchers in Europe, Japan, and Australia.
These types of neuroimaging scans are still primarily research tools, but one day they may be used more commonly to help physicians diagnose AD at very early stages. It is conceivable that these tools also may someday be used to monitor the progress of the disease and to assess responses to drug treatment.
New Technologies Help People Participate in AD Research at HomeThis photo shows ORCATECH study participants at home. The small device between the photographs on the wall is an infrared motion sensor.
Traditionally, AD scientists have collected data by asking people to come to a clinic once or twice a year over a period of years. They give the participants a physical exam and ask them to take a series of memory, language, and other cognitive function tests.
These studies collect much useful information, but they have their limitations. For one thing, participants are seen only once or twice during the year, so the data collected represent only a "snapshot" in time. The studies cannot effectively capture day-to-day fluctuations in behaviors and cognitive abilities. Another limitation is that participants are seen in a research setting, not in their natural community environment. For many, coming to the clinic can be inconvenient, difficult, or both.
Advances in technology, as shown in the two research projects described here, offer some hope for dealing with these challenges by bringing research to people right in their own homes.
Scientists who are trying to develop methods for diagnosing AD as early as possible continually grapple with two challenges in conducting their research. First, they need to find easy and accurate ways to collect data from older people, who often have physical, emotional, or cognitive problems. Second, they need to find ways to assess accurately the very early changes in physical or cognitive abilities that could indicate that AD is progressing.
Under an NIA grant, the Oregon Center for Aging and Technology (ORCATECH) at Oregon Health & Science University is exploring the use of unobtrusive, simple technology and intelligent systems to detect and monitor subtle changes in movement that may indicate age-related cognitive changes. This project is building on research that has suggested that motor-function changes may arise before memory changes become apparent (see "Very Early Signs and Symptoms [4]" for more on this research).
All of the 300 study participants are 80 years or older or have a spouse of a similar age, and live independently in Portland-area retirement communities. Wireless, infrared motion sensors, like those used to automatically open grocery store doors, have been placed strategically throughout the participants' homes to gather data about changes in their walking or dressing speed over time. Special software also has been installed on each participant's home computer to measure motor skills and speed in typing or using a mouse. The sensors and computer software collect data about motion, not what the volunteer is actually doing. Privacy is largely not a concern therefore, because the volunteers are not directly observed and no video or photographs are taken.
The 3-year study began in early 2007, so results are not yet available. However, a small pilot study using the same type of sensors showed a clear difference in the walking speeds of people age 65 and older who had MCI, compared with cognitively healthy people of the same age, over time periods of nearly a year. These data suggest that a remote sensing system like this is a feasible technology and is potentially sensitive enough to distinguish accurately between affected and unaffected people.
Researchers at nearly 30 sites nationwide are comparing various ways of collecting data, including the use of an in-home "kiosk" that combines a touch-screen computer monitor with a telephone handset, an interactive voice-response system, and traditional mail and telephone. All three methods gather the same data about several areas known to be important in early detection of cognitive decline: memory; language skills; attention and concentration; activities of daily living; quality of life; health care and resource use; and changes in "global" well-being as measured by self-rating of health, cognition, and mood. This study is looking at questions such as how likely people are to complete the questions using each method, which method is the most efficient, and how sensitive each method is.
Having a data collection system that is easy to use and that collects data accurately and completely may encourage wider participation in AD clinical trials. It also may reduce the expense and burden of conducting AD research. Early results from this study show that the older participants were skeptical at first about using the kiosk, but once they learned how to use it, they became enthusiastic and excited about participating.

Continuing my favourite films featured here in 2009 .....
No 6:
Jake Armstrong: The Terrible Thing of Alpha-9! is a student film made in Flash which will not please everyone, I realise. But here Flash is used so well, as if a comic book were being animated. The science fiction story, liberally laced with humour (and a kind of pathos) is well scripted, the action meticulously staged, full of interesting angles and perspectives. The narrative is enthralling. One has to see if this terrible alien is as terrible as reports make out. It is terribly funny.
No 5:
Rodrigo Blaas: Alma delighted from the first with the young boy making his way towards the strange toyshop like a moth to the light. In all its 3D majesty the dolls come alive, vibrant with colour and personality, their eyes expressing so much with barely a flutter. To escape is akin to bashing one's head, or bike, against the closed shop door. A compelling chiller for Christmas with just the faintest of icy finger tickling my spine. A splendid movie.
No 4:
Frédéric Back: Tout-Rien should not be compared to, say, the work of Jake Armstrong. He is talented young man commencing the business of animation. Back is one of the greats. Of course, the Animation Blog features an eclectic range of animators at different stages in their careers and this top ten reflects that diversity. In the hands of a master the movie savages the fur trade in a manner that is all the more telling being that the savagery is so elegantly drawn. From paradise to slaughterhouse, the theme is of man's fall from grace.
No 3:
Joanna Quinn: Dreams and Desires: Family Ties is as unlike the previous short as can be imagined. Joanna, or rather her character Beryl, does not do elegant, dressed up to the eyeballs until the alcohol and an incontinent dog wreck her career in films. I know of no-one in the industry who manages the hilarious so well. Sketched with a sureness of touch that catches every nuance of working class life here in the UK at least, Joanna's portraiture is warm and affectionate, never critical. Beryl ........ a force of nature.
Tomorrow my top movie of the year and runner up. Also several special category winners.

Trigeminal neuralgia results in sudden, severe, painful, stabbing, or electric-like shock in the face.
The trigeminal nerve has three sections, which affect:
Blood-vessel compression of the trigeminal nerve causes trigeminal neuralgia. Pain can be caused by:
It can occur in one or all areas, though symptoms usually begin on one side of the face, and affect both sides in about 5 percent of people.
Atypical trigeminal neuralgia shares several symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia. Microvascular decompression surgery may be indicated in certain cases, but the effectiveness of this treatment for atypical trigeminal neuralgia is less favorable.
Trigeminal neuralgia is first treated medically before surgery is considered as a treatment option. If medication is not effective, UPMC neurosurgeons usually recommend Microvascular Decompression. This minimally invasive surgery treats the cause of the problem, offers the most long-lasting relief, and minimizes risk of postoperative side effects like numbness.
UPMC's high volume of trigeminal neuralgia patients has allowed our surgeons to research treatment effectiveness, making UPMC a world leader in the management and treatment of both trigeminal neuralgia and atypical trigeminal neuralgia.
Your doctor may ask about any symptoms you are experiencing.
Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia often include sudden, severe, painful, stabbing, or electric-like shock in the face.
MRI scans with and without an injected contrast dye are essential to diagnosis because similar symptoms can occur due to:
Trigeminal neuralgia is first treated with anticonvulsant drugs, and doctors may prescribe other medications as well. In many cases, patients are:
In such cases, UPMC surgeons usually recommend one of the following treatments:
Microvascular decompression is a minimally invasive surgical procedure using endoscopes that:
Microvascular decompression relieves abnormal compression of a cranial nerve. The surgery consists of a linear incision behind the ear followed by a craniectomy (bony opening) the size of a silver dollar.
Under the view of a microscope or endoscope, the surgeons detect the area where the blood vessel is affecting the nerve and then separate them, leaving a Teflon "pillow" in between.
Each year, more than 500 people with trigeminal neuralgia are treated at UPMC, including about 100 who undergo microvascular decompression.
This high volume allows doctors here to pursue research aimed at improving treatment effectiveness, making UPMC a world leader in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.
In the last 25 years, UPMC neurosurgeons have treated more than 20,000 patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment provides:
One year after surgery:
Major complications occur in fewer than 5 percent of cases.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a painless procedure that uses hundreds of highly focused radiation beams to target tumors and lesions within the brain, with no surgical incision.
Patients with typical trigeminal neuralgia who have had an adequate trial of medications can be offered Gamma Knife treatment. It is typically used for

Skip to comments.S. Florida Rainbow Snake Declared Extinct, Reward Offered to Prove it is Not
Posted on 11/30/2011 1:47:24 PM PST by smokingfrog
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) declared in October that the South Florida rainbow snake (Farancia erytrogramma seminola) is extinct, but the Center for Biological Diversity and the Center for Snake Conservation think otherwise, and have put up a $500 reward to the first person who can document that the snake is not extinct.
Cameron Young, executive director of the Center for Snake Conservation said in a press release that declaring the snake extinct without adequate research is scientifically irresponsible. Young hopes that in offering a reward for valid documentation that the snake is not extinct, the proof will spur conservation efforts to ensure that the reptile survives into the future, and hopefully be returned onto the Endangered Species List.
The center says that USFWS declared the reptile extinct without conducting any focused surveys on the animal in its native habitat in spite of anecdotal evidence that the snake is eating eels in the Fisheating Creek area. By declaring the snake extinct, the species is no longer afforded protections under the Endangered Species Act.
The South Florida rainbow snake is an elusive species that is rarely seen in its native habitat, which is the Fisheating Creek area in Glades County, Florida. It is known from just three specimens, the last which was collected in 1952. Little is known about the snake, though it is believed to be entirely aquatic and active only at night and feeds exclusively on the American eel. There were unconfirmed sightings of the snake in the late 1980s, but no sightings since.
(Excerpt) Read more at reptilechannel.com ...
Reward Offered for Sighting of South Florida Rainbow Snake
One less thing to worry about.
I'll just bet Bawney Fwank can find one.
You better hope they don't find any or the entire state of Florida will be declared a habitat.
My wife hates the things, even if it was the last mating pair on earth she would grab a shovel and chop them into little pieces while screaming.
Striking color. That would make a nice belt. If you see one, let me know.
Just a ploy by the DFG to find, arrest, and confiscate all property from the "violators".
I personally don't give a crap about snakes becoming extinct, when the Country is going to Hell in a hand-basket.
Its a pickled specimen. A live one is breathtaking. Not called a Rainbow Snake for nothing.
I belive they feed mainly on aquatic salamenders like Amphiuma, missnamed "Congo" Eels - very ugly and very nasty amphibians with a wicked bite.
Farancia is a semi-aquatic fossial species, very secretive, so it very well might still be around South Florida - hopefully.
"I personally don't give a crap about snakes becoming extinct, when the Country is going to Hell in a hand-basket."
Fine. But the two pursuits are not mutually exclusive.
I like animals and I regret it when any species becomes extinct. Its a loss that can't be replaced and every species is a potential source of many items of use to humans - both practical and esthetic.
I got a nice belt and hatband that looks JUST LIKE THAT!
Ok, just kidding.
Whadda ya expect with a gay snake?!?!?
Do you have to bring the whole snake in, or just the head?
99% of all species that have ever inhabited the planet are extinct.
So we really all are the 1 percenters.
yeah right, like anyone will bite on a 500 dollar reward for that. No one will admit to seeing one if it is on their own property. Too much to lose.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a non-profit, but it is the same group that caused all the Spotted Owl controversy a few years ago.
They have a Center for Snake Conservation? Time to defund the agency.
Simply tell them you saw one slithering around in your rude and obnoxious neighbor's yard.
Oh, I might just send them on a wild goose chase. This is soooo a**inine. First of all.....WHO CARES!!!
Is The Center for Biological Diversity also known as ACORN, and Get Out The Vote, or possibly, Center for American Progress?
Why would you worry about a harmless and beneficial creature?
Careful bud....snakies love to eat froggies.
tell them you saw 3 in new jersey
Dead or alive?
The same spotted owls now being killed off by the larger barred owls that love to prey on other large birds.
We had one of these show up at our place last year. Huge bird! I am surprised it did not get one of our barn cats.
Boy if I found one on my land I would have to send it somewheres else.
It's not a government agency. It's a private non-profit. The fact is that they're taking on the government here, trying to prove that that USFWS got it wrong when they declared the snake extinct.
Maybe you should start going out at night to take pictures so you can get a picture of one. Of course, you'll have to get some night vision goggles and a few other things.
for the record, this is not a species, it is a subspecies.
The reward will be given to the first person to document a rainbow snake south of Interstate 4 in South Florida. No harm can come to these highly imperiled snakes. Acceptable documentation includes photos with specific locality information, which can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you can hu-manely capture the snake alive, you should immediately call 770-500-0000 so we can send a biologist out to meet you at the capture site. The biologist will identify the snake, collect scales for DNA analysis, and return the snake to the wild unharmed. Please hold live snakes in containers with breathing holes.
"I belive they feed mainly on aquatic salamenders like Amphiuma, missnamed Congo Eels - very ugly and very nasty amphibians with a wicked bite."
Hey....donchu be a'dissin' mah kin!
Quite a history involving Fisheating Creek and Lykes Brothers.
The mega company illegally blocked access to the creek for years. Only opened after a lengthy court battle.
Absolutely pristine, plenty of Bald Eagles and big cats.
Great canoe or Kayak and camping area. Pack it in and out. No facilities.
If people want to conserve snakes on their own dime, they can do it.
"I danth at the Rainbow Thnake."
Hey! I got some boots that look like that!
I have spent many nights in the swamps, however. I always enjoyed taking a city slicker along in my canoe, just to hear them scream every time a frog farted.
Your wife and I would be good friends, we think alike, snakes are for killin'! :/
I'll check my low country swamp lagoon - once the alligator hibernates.
Have several species of snakes commuting between the magnolias and the palmettos.
Would be fun to find one - but how would I catch it?
:The biologist will identify the snake, collect scales for DNA analysis, and return the snake to the wild unharmed."
Down to perhaps one snake and the AnencyPerson will "return the snake to the wild unharmed" ? ? ?
Why not have it crossed with the putative trinomial which is available?
The head AgencyPersons will not be pleased - this could have been another excuse for a "captive breeding program" to "bring back from the very brink of extinction" a rare species.
IF such a snake is found, the herpitology community can do the captive breeding successfully (more than AgencyPersons and the 'academented) can usually manage.
Put out your rainbow flag and see if it attracts anything.
I et one fur dinner last night. Can I show you dat proof?
I well remember the one and only time about 15 years ago I came across an eastern mud snake of the same genus. I was doing some early April pre-season turkey scouting when I ran across an adult mud snake that was feeding on some tadpoles at the edge of a large mud puddle on a flooded logging road in Surry County, VA ...strikingly beautiful snake w/very glossy, vivid markings ...must've just shed its skin!
Link to eastern mud snake (Farancia abacura abacura):
"Fisheating Creek area"
Good memories of camping along an swimming in Fisheating Creek as a kid back in the 70's.
Do not know.
I flew over the creek area last week.
Not a soul to be seen.
Wild hog and some deer is all I saw from about 500 feet.
Thx for the "aerial survey!"
Hmmmm. Did this white guy with a black sounding forum name (ZULU) smoke out another racist?

DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) forecasts modest global industry growth in 2014 driven by the United States, China and Europe. Based on this outlook and the introduction of key vehicles globally, the company expects its total earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) adjusted to be modestly improved with improved underlying operating performance more than offsetting increased restructuring expense. Additionally, the company said it expects EBIT-adjusted margins will be similar to last year.
"We continue to perform well in the two most important markets in the world, the U.S. and China," said GM CEO Mary Barra. "We're taking advantage of our strength in these countries to restructure and make the investments necessary to grow profitably in other parts of the world."
GM President Dan Ammann shared the outlook with investor analysts attending the Deutsche Bank 2014 Global Auto Industry Conference in Detroit.
Following 18 vehicle launches in 2013 in the U.S., the company will introduce 15 new or upgraded models in that market this year. In China, GM and its joint venture partners will introduce 17 new or upgraded models in 2014. The company also announced plans to open four additional plants in China through 2015, enabling production of up to 5 million units annually.
Vehicles being introduced in key markets globally in 2014 include the Chevrolet Silverado HD, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Aveo and Sail; Cadillac ATS Coupe, CTS and Escalade; GMC Sierra HD, Yukon XL, Denali XL and Canyon.
Among key accomplishments for 2013, Ammann noted the following:
"In 2014, our focus will remain on winning customers by delivering new vehicles with compelling value and outstanding quality," Ammann said. "Our ongoing work to transform our company into a formidable competitor in every market we serve will continue unabated."
About General Motors Co.

Hello friends!! Here is the first SwellMayde project! :)
Graphic prints continue to catch the corner of my eye... I won't necessarily wear it head to toe, unless I'm on a beach holiday, but I do love it in small splashes here and there for my everyday life… or even take the minimal route and go monotone, like the project above.
I wanted to share how to create a vest that gives you the opportunity to add a little print in your wardrobe, without it being too overwhelming. It's as simple as… buy the fabric, measure it, cut armholes, and spray paint your design. And if prints aren't your thing, I think the vest is still pretty cool without it.
I'd love to hear your feedback. Are the steps easy to follow? Any other info needed?... thanks!

County Lake makes this site a special place for relaxing or fishing. Whether
boating on its 248 acres, or fishing or hiking its 13-mile shoreline,
the lake offers a perfect opportunity for family fun. This natural area

provided excellent cover and food for upland game. Additional acreage
has been added in succeeding years, currently totaling 1,440 acres.
In 1960 the Department of Natural Resources constructed the lake in
the areas between two small creeks. This long, thin lake is surrounded
by fields and woods. With the addition of picnic and camping areas,

the lake provide a perfect setting. They are located in heavily wooded,
grassy areas and have tables, outdoor stoves, drinking water and playground

disposal are available for trailers. A shower building, open April 1st through October 31st, is also located
in the camping area.
Two Campground Cabins
are available in the campground. There is no cooking, pets, or
smoking in Cabins. Fire grill, table, and BBQ grill are provided
outside. A full size bed, two sets of bunk beds, table and chairs are
provided inside. The Cabins have heat and a/c available with two ceiling
fans. You must

to hold the Cabin for a particular date, then $45.00 per day after
that. The $5.00 reservation fee is non-refundable.
Fishermen will

bass, bluegill, sunfish, crappie, channel catfish and carp.
For boaters, two
launching ramps are available as well as boat docks. There is a limit
of 10 horsepower for motorboats. Both boats and motor boats are available

Nineteen points from the boot of Freddie Burns helped Gloucester to a 29-22 success against London Wasps at Kingsholm on Saturday.
19 points from the boot of youngster Freddie Burns helped Gloucester to a 29-22 Premiership win over London Wasps at Kingsholm on Saturday.
Two penalties from Burns and a converted James Simpson-Daniel try gave the hosts a ten-point lead after Wasps had gained the early advantage through Stephen Jones that put them 3-0 up.
Sione Kalamafoni's then scored on 28 minutes, followed two minutes later by a Elliot Daly try for London Wasps which made it the score 20-13.
Burns then added three more penalties, Jones kicked two of his own and replacement Nick Robinson's three-pointer sealed what may be a vital bonus-point for the Adams Park outfit.
It was a pulsating game, with the hosts never able to shake off their visitors but they managed to survive three minutes of late panic for victory.
With former Cheetahs and Springbok back-rower Ashley Johnson shining, it was the Wasps who got the first points on the board thanks to the relentless accurate kicking by Jones.
Gloucester then stirred into life with two scores as wing Simpson-Daniel weaved his way past four tackles to dive over, followed by Kalamafoni capitalising on the sleepy defence.
Wasps looked dead and buried at 20-3, but Daly scored a dazzling try from the right and his side only trailed by seven at the interval after a long kick by Tommy Bell sneaked over.
Burns completed his penalty hat-trick following the break to restore a ten-point lead, but Gloucester's indiscipline led to two more Jones strikes either side of a fourth from Burns.
Wasps weren't helped when skipper Marco Wentzel was sin-binned for a technical offence, and despite a late flurry of attacks they were unable to unlock Gloucester's gritty defence.
The scorers:
For Gloucester:
Tries: Simpson-Daniel, Kalamafoni
Con: Burns 2
Pen: Burns 5
For Wasps:
Try: Daly
Con: Jones
Pen: Jones 3, Bell, Robinson

London Wasps director of rugby Dai Young has made three changes to his starting XV for Saturday's clash with Gloucester.
London Wasps director of rugby Dai Young has made three changes to his starting XV for Saturday's clash with Gloucester at Kingsholm.
Tommy Bell gets his first start at full-back in place of skipper Hugo Southwell who misses out with a hand injury. James Haskell replaces Joe Launchbury, who is also out with injury, while Zak Taulafo starts after this try-scoring impact from the bench last weekend.
Marco Wentzel captains the side this weekend as Wasps go in search of a first win on the road this season following a bonus point victory over London Irish at Adams Park last weekend.
Despite scoring four tries in their win over London Irish last week Young wants and improved showing from his side.
"We are looking for a consistent 80 minute performance, which we haven't put together yet in any of our three games," he said.
"We have a chance of going down there and winning if we do that well, and if we don't they are a physical side with backs who can really punish you."
Meanwhile, Gloucester boss Nigel Davies hands first starts to Rob Cook and Sione Kalamafoni.
Both made their bows as replacements in the Premiership this season, but are called into the starting line up as Davies makes seven changes, three positional, to the side that started at Worcester last weekend.
Cook comes in at full-back as Jonny May moves to the right wing with Charlie Sharples and Shane Monahan both sidelined.
Freddie Burns returns at fly half and, to accommodate him, Billy Twelvetrees moves across to inside centre.
Darren Dawidiuk gets the nod at hooker and Tom Savage moves into the second row from the blind side flank with Tongan international Kalamafoni taking over the number six shirt.
As Gloucester return to Kingsholm for the first time since the opening day of the season, Davies feels that his side have developed over the past couple of weeks.
"We've learned a lot about ourselves, we've been able to progress and have had three competitive fixtures now," he said.
"That's where you really test yourselves.
"We've learned a lot. I believe we've got a clear understanding of where our game needs to be and what it's about and, if we can get anywhere near it, then we're going to play a good brand of rugby come Saturday."
Wasps had a good win last weekend and will come to Kingsholm with a spring in their step but Davies knows that every week brings a new challenge for his team.
"We know the size of the challenge and there are never any easy games in the Aviva Premiership, that's for sure.
"Wasps play a particular way and it's really challenging every week to come in and look at the respective styles of play of the teams that we're coming up against.
"But our focus is absolutely on ourselves and getting our own game right but with a slight variation depending on who we're playing.
"It's heads on this Saturday making sure we put in the performance and get the result."
Form: Gloucester's solo victory in their last nine encounters was 40-31 at London Irish in round two. Gloucester have now slipped to four successive home defeats but haven't lost five in a row at Kingsholm since 1995. London Wasps ended an unwanted sequence of five consecutive defeats in Aviva Premiership Rugby with their 43-14 victory over London Irish at Adams Park on Saturday. Wasps most recent win away from home in the Premiership came at Worcester last October. Each side won its respective home game in last season's Aviva Premiership Rugby campaign, whilst Wasps only success at Kingsholm since 2006 was 35-6 on 24 October 2009.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Jonny May, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 James Simpson-Daniel, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Ben Morgan. 7 Andy Hazell, 6 Sione Kalamafoni, 5 Jim Hamilton (c), 4 Tom Savage, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Darren Dawidiuk, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Shaun Knight, 19 Will James, 20 Akapusi Qera, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Mike Tindall, 23 Martyn Thomas.
London Wasps: 15 Tommy Bell, 14 Tom Varndell, 13 Elliot Daly, 12 Andrea Masi, 11 Christian Wade, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Ashley Johnson, 7 Jonathan Poff, 6 James Haskell, 5 Marco Wentzel (c), 4 Tom Palmer, 3 Zak Taulafo, 2 T Rhys Thomas, 1 Tim Payne.
