The wife of Muhammad Ali has responded to media reports the boxing legend is near death by posting a photo on Twitter.
His brother told the Sun newspaper Ali was on the verge of death, but his wife Lonnie posted on Twitter a photo of Ali in a Ravens jersey, getting ready to watch today's Super Bowl.
Ali, considered to be the greatest boxer of all time, suffers from Parkinson's disease which he was diagnosed with in 1984.
Lonnie told USA Today that "Muhammad is rooting for the Ravens and Muhammad was completely (taken) with Beyonce".
"His eyes and mouth were wide open, so he's fine."
The 71-year-old appeared at the London Olympics opening ceremony but was very frail and needed assistance from his wife Lonnie throughout the event.
"My brother can't speak - he doesn't recognise me. He's in a bad way. He's very sick," Rahman Ali told the British newspaper.
"It could be months, it could be days. I don't know if he'll last the summer. He's in God's hands. We hope he gently passes away."
Rahman admitted that he had not seen his brother since midway through last year, claiming that the former boxer's wife was refusing to allow him access.

Mike Comrie: do over?
Robin Brownlee
August 19 2009 07:52AM
Not once since Mike Comrie left this city after the Edmonton Oilers traded him to the Philadelphia Flyers in December 2003 have I thought to ask him if he'd ever consider playing for the Oilers again.
I didn't think to ask during his tenure in Philadelphia, or during his time with the Phoenix Coyotes, the Ottawa Senators or the New York Islanders in the six seasons since he played here.
I didn't think to ask in any of the off-seasons along the way. Or the other day, when I ran into Mike down the street from my place at brother Paul's house. It didn't dawn on me at the K of C Arena during an interview we did Monday. And why would it?
Given all the ill-will I remember in the months leading up to Comrie being traded -- a nasty bit of business involving Mike, agent Ritch Winter and then-GM Kevin Lowe that came to an ugly head when Lowe queered a deal with Anaheim by asking for $2.5 million to complete the trade -- you'd have to be nuts to even ask, no?
Well, apparently not. The question of whether Comrie might be a fit for the Oilers right now was discussed by Dan Tencer and Bob Stauffer on 630 CHED Tuesday night. Really.
God Almighty, Steve Tambellini, in the name of sweet mercy make a move of some kind before everybody is completely insane. I can hear Hillary Duff screaming at the top of her lungs now, "Noooooooooooooooooo."
I hear you, girl.
Second time around
I'd be the first to suggest Tambellini be fitted with a rubber mouthpiece and a jacket with extra-long arms if he even considered inking Comrie, who is a UFA and is bunking at his brother's house while awaiting a contract offer.
I'm not sure if Tencer, who I'm guessing was barely out of high school when the Comrie fiasco unfolded, was just filling air time, floating a trial balloon or fell down the stairs and hit his head before going on the air, but there's nothing about the first time around I didn't understand.
Now, there's no indication whatsoever from anybody I know the Oilers are even considering talking to Comrie. I'm taking the discussion to be nothing more than a what-if bit of radio filler.
While Comrie, now 29, is good enough to play in the Oilers top six and could be had for a discount rate, like maybe $2 million in a one-year contract, it's a profoundly bad idea on so many levels I don't even know where to start. But, hell, let's try.
Let's get real
-- Comrie didn't enjoy the attention he got as a home town boy while playing for the Oilers his first time around, and he's not going to be spared the spotlight now on a team that's missed the playoffs three straight years.
-- While Lowe has been bumped to the background in favour of Tambellini, the fact that he's president of hockey operations means he still has a say in player personnel. He's the head of hockey ops.
Forget what made it into the papers back in 2003 when things got ugly -- the best stuff that conveyed the depth of the bad feelings between Lowe and Comrie never made it into print, and I can tell you that because I knew most of it. I don't see the passing of six years healing that wound.
-- Comrie and Winter never did go public with the reasons they wanted out of Edmonton, despite suggesting the "real story" would come out at the appropriate time and fans would understand their position.
While I don't see a need to sift through that pile of dirty laundry, Comrie and Winter never did deliver the dirt. All fans know, without the reasons why, is Comrie took a pile of bonus money and turned his back on his hometown. They haven't forgotten.
-- The last thing the Oilers need right now is another five-foot-something forward to join the ranks of Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano, Robert Nilsson and Patrick O'Sullivan. Where's the fit? Where's the cap room?
No cigar
Look, I've got no beef with Comrie. As you might recall, I was accused by some of being in Comrie's camp throughout the whole mess back in 2003. Maybe, in some ways, I was.
I never thought he owed it to fans here to stay if he was unhappy, whether he went public with his reasons or not. I was sympathetic to his position. It was criminal how some people tried to smear Comrie with the allegation he slept with Tommy Salo's wife. That was bogus.
For those who don't know, when it looked like the deal with Anaheim was done -- before Lowe asked for some bonus money back -- the Oilers had a going away party at Comrie's house. Salo was there. So was captain Jason Smith, who, according to somebody's fantasy, had roughed up Comrie for bedding Mrs. Salo. Again, bogus.
Be that as it may, any flights of fancy about Comrie returning here will crash and burn when he signs with Ottawa, Philadelphia or New Jersey, Maybe even Los Angeles, if Ms. Duff has any pull around the Staples Center. But here? No way.
I'm not even going to ask him.

I wouldn't say that is the case. You have to give the guy credit. He works his tail off, because he knows how fortunate he is to be in his situation. Hell half of the time I hear him on the air at random spots through out the day covering for "X" who is on vacation. He's clearly dedicated to his job, imo.
HAHA sticking up for you boy I see, you know he was damn fortunate an lucky to land that gig. But seriously I have zero problem with the guy. I actually really enjoy listening to his show and I think he has a great voice and presentation. I've seen and heard vast improvements from him since he's started. The man has one hell of a sweet job but a very tough one too. Of course it is just a sense of jelousy from everybody that rips him. The only time I can be heard saying something bad about him is when I wish I had his job which is pretty much all the friggin time (wishing I had his job I mean). It's like that in all areas of life when you see someone succeeding or advancing in enviable positions. Like Robin said, If you don't have the substance, you won't last. Tencer will be fine. He's good now and when the experience and time comes he will be great.

So you're saying I still have time before I am old? my saggy noots, grey nose hairs and inability to eat anything I want anymore beg to differ. I've still got 6 months till 30. I'm going to enjoy them. Once I hit 30 though, I'm packing it in.

@ Travis Dakin: Almost 30? Fossil . . .
I have a belief that 30 is the hardest age to get to. It's when you officially are no longer young. When you start to look like you are trying to be who you once were. When after 10 years of looking like a thirty year old because of the receeding hair line you started at 18, your age finally cathes up. When you look at your old highschool yearbook and look at all the chicks you used to think were hot and see them now and wonder where it went wrong for them. When you realize that the guys getting drafted were born after the Oilers won their last cup. When you realize that the dream is truly over and you'll never make it to the NHL. When you hear them say things like "Shawn Horcoff is 30 and in the downslope of his career." When you go to a concert and its all teenagers and you feel like that guy you used to make fun of and all you want to do is kick a kid in the a*s. When you drive by your old high school and realize that you were way too old five years ago for even the oldest girl in the school and so now you have to avoid making eye contact for fear of being a creep. HAHA After thirty you get to spend the rest of your life fighting the slow onset of death.
August 21 2009, 09:35AM
@ Travis Dakin:
Wow, who sh*t in your cornflakes? That's about the most depressing thing I've heard. And just like I refuse — REFUSE! — to believe Horcoff is in the downslope of his career (because, really, what does such a reality mean for the team's fortunes this season?), I refuse to believe being almost 30 is the end of the world you think it is.
Now where are my epsom salts?
August 21 2009, 09:41AM
And when they say that guys hit their sexual peak at 18 and girls do at 30 so now all the 30 year old girls are looking at the 18 year ols guys! hahaha what the hell?
@ bingofuel: HAHA I'm actually quite happy. As it gets close I am more and more at peace with it. Try telling me that Birthday you just had wasn't a little sobering for you. You looked at those candles, felt the roaring flame on your face and realized that next year, you have to switch over to the numbers for candles....
HAHA damn I am depressing.
August 21 2009, 09:45AM
@ Travis Dakin: The sad thing is it won't be long until you'll be wheezing like hell after trying to blow out those two numbered candles.
You have to avoid eye contact?

Or wear sunglasses. That's the key.

@ Travis Dakin: I do not make this stuff up.It is usally how you take care of yourself that is important.Your example of Shawn horcoff going downhill is funny because alot of people think players around 26-30 are in the prime.I think you are making a big deal out of turning 30 .You are getting older but you need to start taking care of your body more when you are getting older.You are still young but you are no spring chicken either.
As I said you are young until you are 39.

I would love to see Mike back here, if we were lucky enough for him to consider it after they way he was treated. He is more physical than our small forwards and perhaps that would rub off and bring our grit level up. You do not have to be big to have grit as I have experienced in other sports such as football (think Dan Kepley or Willy Pless) Mike was always quick to deflect praise to other teamates instead of taking all the glory, when interviewed during his Edmonton days and I always admired that. I also admire the competive drive that runs in that family and wish other could get past their jealousy and admire them as well.
Hmmm... And your thoughts on Comrie signing to Edmonton NOW?! :)

On May 30 there will be a Derryl Perry concert and benefit at the Ferron Fairgrounds. Perry is a country rock artist, originally from Texas and has played out of Nashville, Tenn. for the past eight years. He has performed more than 1,100 shows throughout the country and opened for big ticket bands like Diamond Rio, Tracy Byrd, Joe Diffie, Chris Ledoux, Andy Griggs, Asleep at the Wheel and Gary Allen. Check out Derryl's web site, derrylperry.com. The concert has now become a non-profit benefit for Dustin Hannabach, who is an Emery Town descendant of Zona Anderson; a true Emery County pioneer. Dustin contracted a rare form of bone cancer, osteosarcoma, in the hip and femur. He is in chemotherapy 24-7 and won't be operated on until the first part of May. Because this concert and benefit became so popular, the sponsors decided to hold the concert at the Fairgrounds in Ferron. This will be a re-enactment of the Ferron Fandango from the early 1970s. From now on it will be called the 'Fairin' Fandango'.
Many musicians would show up for these jams. The first year it was a fund raiser for a local merchant and in recent years became a small gathering during the Cinco De Mayo (May 5) Mexican holiday. Friends, family and musicians would meet from all across the nation, at the American Legion Club, in Emery Town. The group would agree to a camping area in the San Rafael Desert and move the jam to there. For days the group would enjoy the area and play every imaginable instrument and old songs. (Some they made up too.) This gathering continued for 34 years.
Along with Derryl Perry's concert at 7 p.m. that evening there will be live open mike sessions all day long featuring 'Fingers the Fiddler' (Jim Schupe). Jim's dad started the Old Time Fiddlers Association in Utah and played with the Utah Symphony.
Fingers was a three time fiddlers champion in Utah and became the national fiddlers champion in 1989. Fingers can be seen performing his magic on you tube. In the search box type in kapbrothersband. You should see several videos. The best is fiddlin' frenzy featuring Fingers.
There will be ticket discounts of $5 available through raffle ticket sales of $10 or more and area merchant purchases of $50 or more. The full purchase price for the tickets will be $18 for the fair, activities and the concert.
Many crafters and vendors have already expressed interest and agreed to come. Anyone wishing to participate as a vendor or crafter will receive one ticket for their space and can call Mark at (760-415-0285) for details. Raffle tickets and concert tickets will be on sale soon at Desertview Federal Credit Union and several local merchants. Listen for up-dates on Kickin' Country and check the Emery County Progress. Spread the word, Dustin needs your help.
A non-profit account is set-up at Desertview Federal Credit Union which is accepting donations in the name of Dustin Hannabach. Hope to see you all at the fair.

Chevy Speaks!: Jets Press Conference
Travis Hrubeniuk
June 25 2013 08:09AM
The Claude Noel Extension
- I really have no problem with this. It's a single year extension, and I am admittedly very pro-Noel for the time being. Although Chevy directly stated that term wasn't a key part to the deal, you have to think the single year plan will serve as an evaluation period for Coach Noel.
- Cheveldayoff also mentioned Claude's ability to work well with younger players, signaling to me that the team has no continued issue with the apparent Burmistrov situation. This could, though, also provide an explanation for the single year deal, allowing the front office to really see how well the Coach can still handle what will surely be a young squad.
Free Agents
- I was extremely pleased to hear that there actually has been some behind the scenes work going on. Despite our greatest fears, it appears that the Jets will have more than 12 players under contract by the time the season starts next Fall. Talks are continuing with the current RFA's (not really any big surprises there), and I would think that rights may be moved at the draft should anything go sour. (More on that later)
- It was very subtle, but Chevy also hinted that the team does have some money to play with (Cap Space). This could mean absolutely nothing, but it could mean they go out and spend a little during the Free Agency period. Again, the RFA's are the number one priority, but the team does have places to improve. (Again, more on that shortly)
- Sounds like Ron Hainsey is going to try out the Free Agent market. The Jets took a gamble on making the playoffs by not moving him at the deadline, and it looks like it's really going to end up biting them in the butt. I for one will be slightly sad to see Ron go, but just like it was with Johnny Oduya the majority of Jets fans will surely be dancing with joy.
Clitsome & Montoya
- Name-dropping Chevy made sure to point out that he has been in communication with both of these guys in an attempt to re-sign them. Clitsome did serve as a valuable commodity for the Jets this year, and managed to do a decent (although sometimes terrifying) job filling in for Enstrom beside Big Buff throughout the season. I'd have to agree with a large group of the twitter community that getting back Montoya is confusing. Not that he didn't do his job, it's just that he had to do it so rarely. Noel really did not seem to trust him, which would have one thinking he was on his way out.
- The Winnipeg Jets are not planning on using any compliance buy-outs THIS YEAR. That is something we now know for sure. Probably a smart move considering how much contract work the Jets already have to deal with. Until they can find a goalie to actually replace Pavelec, he is going to have to be the guy, and without any real cap trouble they can still try to trade the players they don't want. Fingers crossed for next year on Pav though, right?
Top-6 Hunting
- Just like almost every other team in the league, the Jets made it known today that they are in the hunt for another top 6 forward. Seems like Chevy has finally realized that he won't be able to find one via the waiver wire. (Thank Goodness) It's been said a million times already that the free agent pool is really thin, but there are some guys out there (Jarome Iginla?) that are up for grabs for a team willing to spend a fair chunk of change.
Opportunity Time
- Chevy once again reiterated the fact that there will be opportunities this upcoming fall for some of the Jets prospects to make the squad. I mean actually make the team, not "make" the team and end up on the fourth line and in the press box all season. This seems similar to the approach that the Leafs took last year. Not that anyone else reading this likes the sound of the Jets doing something similar to the Leafs, but they did make the playoffs this season. I like the idea of a team actually giving their young studs a chance, and it should make this upcoming training camp really interesting.
Draft Talk
- More of the same cliche stuff here. Chevy hinted that he may think about moving some picks to obtain players (he has warned his scouts that they make not be picking where they currently are), he stated that he has been contacted in request to move down in the draft, and he suggested that he wouldn't hate moving up. Basically anything is possible. In my opinion, with the depth of this draft there really is no benefit in sacrificing a number of picks for a single higher pick, (giving up 2 picks to get 1 slightly sooner) unless you are moving within that top four. Consider the draft another method in an attempt to find that top 6 forward, should the right offer come along.
In summary, I'm more pleased about actually hearing something out of the team than anything else at this point of time. Although ridiculous rumors and constant useless chatter can get annoying, it is always nice to hear that your GM is having those conversations and is looking to constantly improve the team. With the lack of players currently under contract the next few weeks should be a busy time for the Jets, so let's hope we hear Chevy's voice a little more often moving forward.
June 25 2013, 12:35PM
Seriously - this team gave a medium coach (at best) with limited NHL experience and no clear indication of success with this team an extension a week before they find out if Dave Tippet is available. Sure, it avoids speculation all year. Great. That can be done in July or August. Or September. Or October.
Status quo is one thing, making a commitment to status quo is stranger, and doing it at an inopportune time is just perplexing to me.
I really hate reading about assurances that "this draft will be really deep", and similar assurances. They've said that about considerably weaker drafts. I think people should wait a while before saying any year is a good draft year. I'm skeptical that any year will be a great, deep, talented, class. Other than the players available, I think this draft is the same as countless drafts before it, a bunch of young guns with potential. Of course, I'm not a scout or anything, and I haven't been an avid follower of the NHL for long, but I find it weird to make a big deal out of an unproven crop of youngsters, when it's been done before with mixed results. Any year could be a 2003 or a 1999, it's all a matter of development.

Bills' Nelson merely a bystander at Sunday walk-thru
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 29 2012 4:33PM
After suffering an injury to his right knee on Saturday, Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson was unable to take any repetitions during Sunday afternoon's walk-through. The wideout was involved in a collision and had to leave Saturday's practice prematurely.
With a day off scheduled for Monday, it would seem Nelson is unlikely to take part in the Bills' practice on Sunday evening. He left the walk-through a few minutes early with a trainer.
Erik Pears did not take any reps either, with backup Sam Young getting all the first team reps. The right tackle did not participate in practice on Saturday due to aggravating his groin injury. Despite not practicing on Saturday, defensive end Shawne Merriman took part in the walk-through. Defensive tackle Torell Troup was not on the field, however.

I'm hoping with you, Olga. Miracles do happen...
I've seen some of Englands game. How is that possible?
I'll be watching England play this afternoon, they better play better than last time

Germany won. Now we'll see if Mexico can suprisingly beath Argentina.
Now I see Argentina - Mexico
Argentina Goal 1-0
and England no 2-2
oh Referee...
We beat Brazil! This is our revenge for 1998. It was so exciting. We watched the game in town and the ending was nerve-recking.
I fear Spain and Germany most, but I believe in Orange!
Congratulations to Germany, and particularly to Klose..
Great team game, controlling possession and fantastic on the couter attack..
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

I cant believe it. 4:0. Amazing. We were on our Fanmile. Amazing. Never seen something like this before. Everyone, really everyone was celebrating. I have seen an old woman, blowing vuvuzela and waving the german flag.
I am very proud but I am sad because of Thomas Mueller. That was a false decision from referee.
Its the season to be jolly

Over the Limit. Under Arrest - Just the facts
From August 21st through September 7th, Bayside Police Department along with Fox Point, River Hills and agencies throughout Wisconsin and thoughout the nation will be patrolling in greater numbers and for longer hours to arrest impaired drivers and get them off the road.
Saturation patrols and other types of high visibility enforcement have proved to be an effective deterrent to impaired driving, especially when combined with an effective media campaign like Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.
Impaired driving is prevalent and deadly:
1. Wisconsin has the highest rate of drunken driving in the nation. More than 26 percent of Wisconsin adults who were surveyed admitted that they had driven under the influence of alcohol in the previous year, according to a nationwide study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released in 2008. (you can find the study at http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/2k8/stateDUI/stateDUI.cfm ).
2. Last year, alcohol related crashes killed 234 people in Wisconsin and injured 4, 319.
3. Deaths from motorcycle crashes are increasing this year. Approximately 47 percent of all fatal motorcycle crashes in Wisconsin are alcohol related.
Drive impaired and you'll get arrested:
1. Last year in Wisconsin, approximately 37,000 drivers were convicted of drunken driving. That number exceeds the population of many major cities, including Manitowoc, Superior and West Bend, and nearly equals the population of Beloit.
2. Our message is simple - if you're over the limit, you will get arrested. There will be no warnings or second chances.
3. If you're arrested, you can lose your license as well as a huge amount of money. Repeat offenders also face imprisonment. If you hurt or kill someone in a crash you will face very serious charges, like vehicular manslaughter.
4. Refuse a blood/breath alcohol concentration test and you can lose your license on the spot and have your car impounded.
5. Our goal is not to arrest more drunken drivers. Our goal is to deter drunken driving, so that we can reach our ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths.
Important advice:
1. Choose a sober designated driver before you start drinking.
2. If you're feeling buzzed, you likely are over the 0.08 BAC limit and should not drive.
3. Rather than risk an arrest, take mass transit, a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
4. Save a life - don't let your friends drive drunk.
5. Some taverns and restaurants have programs to provide patrons with a safe ride home. Visit www.tlw.org/ and click on Safe Ride.
6. Report impaired drivers to law enforcement.

Sssssix Cool Facts about the Ice Warriors!
BBC - Doctor Who - Wed, 02/01/2017 - 6:37am
The Ice Warriors are back in the new season Doctor Who – hurrah! To celebrate their return we've pulled together 6 facts about the menacing Martians…
Face Time
The Ice Warriors' 2017 return is written by Mark Gatiss, who also wrote their comeback adventure, Cold War, back in 2013. In that story Mark was keen to explore the mysteries of the Martians and more than 40 years after they first appeared, the episode featured the first full reveal of an Ice Warrior's face!
Above: Bernard Bresslaw becoming the first Ice Warrior!
Carry On Doctor Who!
The first Ice Warrior to feature in Doctor Who was played by Bernard Bresslaw, better known as one of the Carry On gang. Ironically, just before working on The Ice Warriors he'd starred in Carry On Doctor!
The cold never bothered them, anyway…
The Tenth Doctor never faced the Ice Warriors but he was obviously a big fan. In The Waters of Mars he described them as 'a fine and noble race who built an empire out of snow'.
Above: Neighbour from hell? It's the sinister Sutekh, from Pyramids of Mars.
Mars Attacks!
The Ice Warriors aren't the only sinister species from the Red Planet… Other aliens from Mars (either natives of the planet or just visiting) include the Flood from The Waters of Mars and the wonderfully named 'Ambassadors of Death' who gave the Doctor problems in the adventure of that name in 1971. Finally, although the diabolical Sutekh was actually an Osiran, he travelled to Mars during his attempt to destroy Earth… No wonder the planet is sometimes known as the 'Bringer of War'.
Handy Changes
The Ice Warrior that appeared in Cold War had a number of changes from the original design - most notably he had hands instead of clamps. Mark Gatiss recalled seeing the latest versions on set: 'I was knocked out when I saw the result. Lots of the crew didn't know they were a famous returning baddie… they just reacted to them as a really cool, scary monster. Perfect!'
Above: Skaldak gets a chilly reception from the crew of the Firebird in Cold War.
Debuts with the Doctor…
The Ice Warriors first appeared in the fifth season of Doctor Who which proved a bumper run for debuts! As well as the mighty Martians, the 67/68 season saw introductions for the sonic screwdriver, Cybermats, the Great Intelligence, Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart (who later became known as the Brigadier) and the terrifying Yeti.

Peter Capaldi announces he will stand down as Doctor Who at the end of the year
BBC - Doctor Who - Mon, 01/30/2017 - 5:24pm
Peter Capaldi first stepped into the TARDIS in 2013, and will leave the iconic role in the 2017 Christmas Special after three incredible series of the BBC's global hit sci-fi drama.
He made the announcement on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show tonight; speaking about the upcoming series this Spring he exclusively revealed the next series of the world's longest running sci-fi show will be his last.
Peter Capaldi said:
"One of the greatest privileges of being Doctor Who is to see the world at its best. From our brilliant crew and creative team working for the best broadcaster on the planet, to the viewers and fans whose endless creativity, generosity and inclusiveness points to a brighter future ahead. I can't thank everyone enough. It's been cosmic."
Capaldi was unveiled to the nation as the Twelfth Doctor during a special live television event on BBC One. Peter's Time Lord has been much loved and critically acclaimed, with Series 9 featuring some of the best reviewed performances and episodes of recent series. In particular, his anti-war speech in The Zygon Inversion, and his solo appearance in the one-hander, Heaven Sent, have been widely acclaimed as among the finest performances by anyone in the role of the Doctor. Under his reign the show has expanded globally, he took the series on a World Tour and has drawn record ratings in BBC America, Canada, and Latin America. The highly anticipated 10th series returns to screens on Easter Saturday after a year's break.
Peter Capaldi's final series also marks writer and executive producer Steven Moffat's last so promises to be unmissable event television.
Steven Moffat, writer and executive producer said:
"For years before I ever imagined being involved in Doctor Who, or had ever met the man, I wanted to work with Peter Capaldi. I could not have imagined that one day we'd be standing on the TARDIS together. Like Peter, I'm facing up to leaving the best job I'll ever have, but knowing I do so in the company of the best, and kindest and cleverest of men, makes the saddest of endings a little sweeter. But hey, it's a long way from over. Peter's amazing, fiery, turbulent Doctor is still fighting the good fight, and his greatest adventures are yet to come. Monsters of the universe, be on your guard - Capaldi's not done with you yet!"
Peter will be joined in Series 10 by new companion Pearl Mackie (Bill), and Matt Lucas (Nardole) with guest appearances to come from David Suchet and Michelle Gomez. He has starred alongside Jenna Coleman as his companion Clara Oswald, Alex Kingston as River Song, Ingrid Oliver as Osgood, as well as Keeley Hawes, Tom Riley, Frank Skinner, Maisie Williams, Joivan Wade and many more. Peter's Doctor has fought Daleks and Davros, Cybermen, Zygons, new monsters like the Veil and old foes the Time Lords.
Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content said:
"Peter Capaldi will always be a very special Doctor to me; his adventures through time and space started just as I arrived on BBC One. He has been a tremendous Doctor who has brought his own unique wisdom and charisma to the role. But, it's not over yet - I know the next series is going to be spectacular. He's a fine actor who I hope we work with again when he leaves the TARDIS".
Brian Minchin, Executive Producer, said:
"Peter Capaldi is an extraordinary Doctor and has taken the show to amazing places. Although I'm sad he has decided to move on in 2018 I'm delighted that we have one final series with Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat. I know what they're planning and it's going to be incredible."
Capaldi will return in the next series for 12 episodes in April, followed by the Christmas Special when the regeneration will take place.
He replaced Matt Smith as the Twelfth Doctor. He first appeared in Doctor Who in 2008, playing Caecilius in the episode, "The Fires of Pompeii".

Sir John Hurt: 1940 – 2017
BBC - Doctor Who - Sat, 01/28/2017 - 5:53am
We're sad to report the death of the legendary Sir John Hurt who so brilliantly played the War Doctor.
Sir John first appeared in Doctor Who at the close of The Name of the Doctor and featured very briefly in The Night of the Doctor. He then starred alongside Matt Smith and David Tennant in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor. His portrayal of a battle-weary Time Lord – 'the Doctor on the day it wasn't possible to get it right' – made him an instant favourite with fans of the show who quickly warmed to his charismatic and nuanced approach to the role.
John Hurt was born on 22 January, 1940 in Chesterfield in Derbyshire and in a career spanning over half a century he appeared in more than 120 films as well as many stage and television productions. He will be forever remembered for numerous iconic roles in movies and TV dramas such as Alien, The Elephant Man, The Naked Civil Servant and I, Claudius. And after playing the War Doctor onscreen in 2013 he reprised the part for a number of audio adventures which followed his character's struggles during the Time War.
On Twitter, Mark Gatiss expressed the feelings of many when he wrote, 'The crumpled grandeur of John Hurt was always a joy to behold. That voice, those eyes - an almost painful sensitivity. So many wonders. RIP.'

Doctor Who and Sherlock: The Six Cross-Overs
BBC - Doctor Who - Sun, 01/01/2017 - 5:00am
Yes, we know there are more than half a dozen links between Who and Holmes but in honour of the Great Detective's return in The Six Thatchers, we thought we'd limit ourselves to six of the best! So, here are some of our favourite cross-overs (sort of!) between the Time Lord and the detective…Peter Capaldi played Sherlock Holmes!
Back in the mid-90s Peter was a regular on The All New Alexei Sayle Show and - as we can deduce from the pic above - in one sketch he played Sherlock Holmes opposite Alexei's Doctor Watson!The Doctor once pretended to be Sherlock Holmes!
Okay, he never expected the evil Simeon to take him seriously, but in a hilarious scene in The Snowmen the Doctor swans into his enemy's HQ dressed in a deerstalker, claiming to be Holmes and firing off wild deductions… 'I see from your collar stud you have an apple tree and a wife with a limp! Am I right?' When Simeon snaps back that he doesn't even have a wife, the exasperated Doctor replies, 'Bit of a tree? Bit of a wife? Some apples? Come on, work with me here!'Was Holmes based on Madame Vastra?
The Doctor's old friend, Madame Vastra, has been called 'the Great Detective' – a name normally associated with Sherlock Holmes, and she's been known to do a bit of sleuthing around the streets of Victorian London… In fact in The Snowmen, Simeon told her, 'You realise Doctor Doyle [Arthur Conan Doyle – the creator of Sherlock Holmes] is almost certainly basing his fantastical tales on your own exploits? With a few choice alterations, of course. I doubt the readers of The Strand magazine would accept that the great detective is, in reality, a woman…'Tom Baker Street
The mighty Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) left Doctor Who in 1981 and the following year played Sherlock in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Other actors who've played Holmes include the brilliant Nicholas Briggs (the 'voice of the monsters'), Richard Hurndall (who played the First Doctor in The Five Doctors) and Richard E. Grant (Doctor Simeon). Gemma Chan (Mia, pictured below in The Waters of Mars) starred in the second episode of Sherlock, Caroline John (70s companion Liz Shaw) appeared in Tom Baker's Hound and Frances Barbour (Kovarian) was fabulous as Madame Schirmer in the movie, Mr Holmes!Once you have eliminated the impossible…
Sherlock Holmes has been mentioned quite a bit in Doctor Who… The Third Doctor insulted the Brigadier's powers of deduction, scathingly noting the military man was 'not exactly a little Sherlock Holmes' and the character's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, was referenced in Ghost Light. He's even been quoted during The Hungry Earth when Elliot told Rory, 'Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.'And, of course…
The award-winning BBC drama, Sherlock, has more Doctor Who links than you can shake a deerstalker at. Its co-creators are Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (I don't think we need to list their Doctor Who credentials…) and Stephen Thompson (The Curse of the Black Spot and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS) has written two episodes of the show and co-written a third.
Directors Euros Lyn, Toby Haynes, Nick Hurran, Colm McCarthy and Douglas Mackinnon have all helmed episodes of both Doctor Who and Sherlock and if that wasn't enough, The Six Thatchers was directed by the brilliant Rachel Talalay whose previous credits include Dark Water / Death in Heaven and Heaven Sent / Hell Bent.
Want a final connection between the two shows? Well, both Sherlock and the Doctor are back in 2017… They've both been missed and we can't wait for their return!
BBC iPlayer users can watch the latest episode of Doctor Who and The Six Thatchers premieres on BBC One on New Year's Day at 8.30pm. Find out more about the new series of Sherlock now!

Ten Things We Know About Bill
BBC - Doctor Who - Mon, 12/26/2016 - 5:01am
She's in for some incredible adventures…
Okay. Let's get the obvious one out of the way. She's hopping aboard the TARDIS with the Doctor which means her life is about to become more fun, more dangerous and more amazing than she could ever have imagined. Buckle up, Bill!Inside Info
So the Doctor works at a university now? What? And she serves chips there? Well, whenever the Doctor spends time at a school or uni or academy, it turns out to be holding some pretty dark secret. Think Daleks, Skovox Blitzer, Krillitanes… So we reckon Bill will be plunged into adventure from the moment she starts hanging with the Time Lord…She asks questions… A LOT of questions…
Well, wouldn't you? But we love the fact she asks the questions we'd ask if we were right there by the Doctor's side. Like why do Daleks screech EXTERMINATE when – as Bill pointed out – saying KILL would save a lot of time!? Showrunner Steven Moffat said, 'Bill is someone who asks the questions that nobody has asked for 53 years!'Just what the Doctor ordered…
Bill is gonna shake it up! As Peter Capaldi revealed, the new companion '…will bring a universe of exciting new possibilities to the Doctor's adventures!'She's got a temper on her…
Considering Doctor Who can be a bit bonkers at times, Pearl Mackie was struck by how human and 'relatable to' Bill will be. She's said Bill has a temper and can make mistakes and we're looking forward to seeing how that plays with the Doctor. Can't help remembering that Sarah Jane Smith could really fly off the handle and she worked out pretty well!GSOH
Even when evading the Time Lord's mortal enemies she's still got time for a joke or two. 'Is there a Dalek at the back with two suckers and no gun…' she asked the Doctor, 'and he's really hacked off?'If you think you know the Doctor, Bill will make you think again!
In 2016, Steven Moffat revealed, 'If I gave you one tone word for this series it's new. It's brand new. You're getting to see the Doctor all over again through a very different pair of eyes. In fact, we went to particular pains to make sure that episode one is really episode one. It could be the first episode you ever see. It explains the entire mythos of Doctor Who — in the two minutes it takes — and you can start there!'She's now!
Early rumours suggested that Bill would be from Earth's recent history, but Steven Moffat confirmed that was not the case. Bill's right now and because of that, she's the perfect person to be our eyes and ears on the Doctor's adventures!The wonders of time and space await!
Doctor Who returns in 2017!

Behind the Scenes of The Return of Doctor Mysterio
BBC - Doctor Who - Mon, 12/26/2016 - 5:00am
The 2016 Christmas Special was one of the most spectacular to date and we take a peek behind the scenes to look at the making of The Return of Doctor Mysterio…
The Return of Doctor Mysterio was Peter's third Christmas Special. Or his fourth if we're counting his brief appearance at the close of The Time of the Doctor!
It wasn't just the return of Doctor Mysterio, Matt Lucas was also back in the famous duffel coat playing Nardole!
Scenes featuring the streets of New York were shot at the Nu Boyana Film Studios in Sofia, Bulgaria which have specially created sets designed to recreate the Big Apple. But Lucy's apartment and its rooftop terrace were created in the BBC's Roath Lock Studios in Wales.
Peter prepares for his next scene… The episode was directed by Ed Bazalgette who previously helmed The Girl Who Died and The Woman Who Lived.
Justin Chatwin gets to grips with another action scene… And Aleksandar Jovanovic (Dr Sim)!
Charity Wakefield (Lucy) described the role as 'an early Christmas present'!
Finishing touches being applied to this detail from Harmony Shoal's New York office.
Shooting on the Special began on 5 September and wrapped on 4 October, 2016. Want more? Check out a bunch of great extras for The Return of Doctor Mysterio!

Nine Christmas-related things you (probably) didn't know about Doctor Who…
BBC - Doctor Who - Sun, 12/04/2016 - 5:37am
...can you supply the tenth?
1. The Unquiet Dead (set during Christmas, 1869) was initially entitled, 'My Name's Dickens... Charles Dickens'!
2. Dreaming of a Red Christmas? The November 2009 adventure, The Waters of Mars, was originally intended to be a Christmas Special and a few seasonal references survived, such as Bowie Base's crew preparing for Christmas dinner. Its working title was the festive, Red Christmas.
3. Justin Chatwin plays The Ghost in The Return of Doctor Mysterio and he's no stranger to superheroes… His very first onscreen appearance came in the pilot episode of Smallville, the US series that covered the early years of Clark Kent/Superman – one of the characters that inspired The Ghost!
4. Doctor Who was the first TV drama granted permission to film on top of the Tower of London. The scenes formed an important part of The Christmas Invasion and were shot in a sunny July, 2005!
5. What did you think of the Christmas Special, Miracle on Bannerman Road, from The Sarah Jane Adventures? Never heard of it? That's because although the story was originally planned to round off the show's fourth season, sadly it never made it to the production stage. The adventure would have riffed off Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and there was even talk of Tom Baker (seen below with Matt Smith) appearing in it!
6. And talking of Specials that never made it – Expelliarmus! Doctor Who's former head writer and exec producer, Russell T Davies, wanted J.K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter books, seen below) to appear in a Christmas episode… The adventure would have seen the imagination of 'good old JK' not just become real, but transformed into a world that the Tenth Doctor would have to battle through!
7. Sheila Dunn played the wonderfully named Blossom Lefavre in the very first Christmas Special back in 1965. Sheila was the daughter of Bill Dunn, the famous engineer who designed the bulletproof engine of the plane seen in Victory of the Daleks – the Spitfire! Sheila returned to Doctor Who in The Invasion and Inferno (as seen below) and later found fame playing the mother of Harry Hill!
8. Douglas Camfield, who directed the 1965 Christmas Special, had wanted it to be Doctor Who's first cross-over ep featuring characters and places used in the BBC police drama, Z Cars. But that show's producer, David Rose, didn't find the idea arresting (ouch!) and vetoed it!
Above: A moment from Z Cars - It Never Rains.
9. What do the evil genius Professor Kettlewell (from Robot) and the Doctor's daughter (from err, The Doctor's Daughter) have in common? Both were played by actors – Edward Burnham and Georgia Tennant, née Moffett – who were born on Christmas Day.
Have you got a tenth top trivia fact about the Doctor Who Christmas Specials? If so, tweet it using the hashtag #DWXmasFacts and we'll retweet a few of our faves!

The Return of Doctor Mysterio: What We Know So Far!
BBC - Doctor Who - Thu, 11/24/2016 - 7:51am
This Christmas a certain Time Lord swings back into action and guess what… We can't wait! Here's what we know about the highly anticipated Special – so far! Contains minor spoilers. Obvs.
Unless you've been trapped in the catacombs of Ribos for the past few months, you're probably aware that this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special is called The Return of Doctor Mysterio! The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is joined once again by Nardole (Matt Lucas) and the episode is written by Steven Moffat who gave us a hint about what to expect… 'I've always loved superheroes,' he revealed, 'and this Christmas Doctor Who dives into that world!'
The cast also includes Adetomiwa Edun (Lucifer, Bates Motel), Aleksandar Jovanovic and Logan Hoffman. We also know it's a 60 minute spesh directed by Ed Bazalgette who was previously at the helm for The Girl Who Died and The Woman Who Lived.

The Return of Doctor Mysterio: The Sneak Peek!
BBC - Doctor Who - Mon, 11/21/2016 - 9:47am
Doctor Who's relationship with Children in Need stretches back to 1983 and this year we were treated to a special preview clip from the Christmas Special!
What can we say about the sneak peek? Well, the Doctor is on top form and up to his attack eyebrows in trouble – no change there, then... Great to see Nardole back and we're super-intrigued (no pun intended!) about The Ghost – the caped figure who can fly, withstand bullets and fire off a few wisecracks in case his arrival wasn't memorable enough! We're also looking forward to finding out more about Lucy Fletcher, the journalist who seems astonished by the fact she's honest with the Doctor… How is she tied in with The Return of Doctor Mysterio?
We'll be looking into the Christmas Special very soon but for now, enjoy the preview clip and if that's not enough, check out what happened when the universe of Doctor Who collided with the world of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them…

The 2017 Series… Returning Writers, Cast Updates and More!
BBC - Doctor Who - Wed, 11/16/2016 - 11:56am
Back for the new series...
Next year's series of Doctor Who has reached its fourth recording block, with Episodes 5 and 9 going shooting in Cardiff during November. The BBC Wales production team has revealed to DWM some exclusive news about these two episodes.
The writer for Episode 5 is Jamie Mathieson, who has previously written three episodes of Doctor Who: the DWM season-poll-topping Mummy on the Orient Express (2014), Flatline (2014) and (with Steven Moffat) The Girl Who Died (2015).
Jamie's first episode was the thrilling, Mummy on the Orient Express.
An excited Jamie tells DWM, "I'm back baby, and beyond stoked to be once again putting words in the mouths of the TARDIS crew. So what can I tell you? Well, my episode this year is very, very scary. Like, seriously so. 'Let's go behind the sofa and just stay there until it's over' scary. It's got more shocks and tense scenes than anything I've ever written. And that's coming from a man who once wrote an episode of My Parents Are Aliens. It's also a taut thrill ride, a gag fest, a pitch black satire and, for the first time – [notices Steven Moffat approaching with cosh marked 'no spoilers'] – I'm writing for Bill and Nardole!"
The guest cast for Jamie's episode includes Kieran Bew, Justin Salinger, Peter Caulfield, Mimi Ndiweni and Karen Brayben.

Speaking to DWM, Rona reveals, "Writing Survival was my dream job, but it was a mournful time in the show's history. This has been a very different experience. There's more of everything; people, resources, confidence, success... but the same constantly renewing and indefinable wonder that is Doctor Who. When I was very small and watching the First Doctor, I had a special cushion known as 'Rona's Doctor Whocushion'. I would hide my face in it when the Daleks or other monsters appeared on screen! The Eaters of Light is my version of other stories that have haunted me for almost as long."
Joining the regular cast for Rona's episode are Rebecca Benson, Daniel Kerr, Juwon Adedokun, Brian Vernel, Ben Hunter, Aaron Phagura, Sam Adewunmi and Billy Matthews.
Once these episodes are in the can, the series reaches the mid-point of shooting, with Episodes 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 still to go before the cameras. The new series of Doctor Who – starring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, Pearl Mackie as Bill and Matt Lucas as Nardole – will hit TV screens in spring 2017.

Doctor Who on Children in Need: Five Fave Moments!
BBC - Doctor Who - Wed, 11/16/2016 - 6:23am
On Friday (Nov 18th) you'll be able to catch an exclusive preview clip from this year's Christmas Special – The Return of Doctor Mysterio! It'll be shown as part of the BBC's Children in Need night and continues a tradition that's seen Doctor Who supporting and appearing in the charity's big evening for over 30 years!
So we dipped into the TARDIS archives and present five of our favourite times that Doctor Who has materialised on Children in Need…
Time Crash! (2007)
The Tenth Doctor met the Fifth Doctor in the special minisode that showed both of them doing what they do best – showing off, trading quips and saving the universe! But it was also a lovely nod to the show's past. 'You know,' the Tenth Doctor told his Fifth incarnation, 'I loved being you… You were my Doctor!'
'To days to come...'
'All my love to long ago...'
The Great Detective (2012)
Things were looking bad for the Doctor in 2012. He'd lost the Ponds and had 'retired', sulking about Victorian London wearing a grim expression and a rather fabulous hat. But things were looking good for Doctor Who fans on Children in Need night that year as this special minisode, The Great Detective, caught up with the Time Lord and his old friends, Vastra, Jenny and Strax…
The Five Doctors (1983)
Doctor Who first got involved in Children in Need back in 1983 when the show's twentieth anniversary special was broadcast on the charity's big night. The Five Doctors featured Cybermen, a Dalek, a Yeti, old companions and (yep, you guessed it), five – count 'em – five Doctors! What a way to make an entrance…
Splendid fellows... All of them!
Meet the Tenth Doctor! (2005)
We'd glimpsed the Tenth Doctor at the very end of The Parting of the Ways, but a brief scene shown during 2005's Children in Need properly introduced David Tennant's take on the Time Lord. Ahh, memories… Allons-y!
New Doctor... New teeth!
'Hold on tight - here we go!'
Dimensions in Time (1993)
Okay. It was a bit nuts. Lots of returning Doctors, companions, the brilliant Brigadier and a bunch of familiar foes who are (Albert) squaring up to each other in EastEnders' Walford. And if that wasn't crazy enough, there was a bit of timey-wimey action going on as we zipped back and forth between 1973 and 2013. Sample dialogue from the Fourth Doctor: '…a renegade Time Lord known only as the Rani… She hates me. She even hates children!' Come on… Where's your sense of humour?!
And Coming Soon…
We nipped forward in time and had a gander at the exclusive The Return of Doctor Mysterio clip that'll be shown on BBC One on Friday! And yes, we can confirm it's now one of our fave Children in Need moments…

5 times Daleks have broken our hearts…
BBC - Doctor Who - Wed, 11/09/2016 - 5:31pm
We've already seen Bill introduced to the Daleks and loved her reaction to Doctor's oldest enemies! And how do we feel about them? Well, we can deal with the Daleks trying to exterminate anything that moves and we're fine with them zooming through the air like they're trying to collect frequent flier points. But please, for the love of the Doctor, no more breaking our hearts! Here's a roll call of heart-breaking moments so far…The whole Oswin is a Dalek thing
We liked Oswin. A lot. The whole soufflé, cheeky, helping the Doctor thing was ace. Then it turns out she's a Dalek. A Dalek in a red dress. Didn't see that one coming.Exterminating Lynda with a 'y'
She was so sweet. Then she was so dead. Lynda with a why, why, why?Shooting the Doctor in the middle of his big reunion with Rose
We'd waited ages for them to get back together, only for a Dalek to ruin it with the biggest gooseberry moment in world history. Thanks for that.Shooting Captain Jack
It was back in the days before Jack kept coming back to life so when he was shot, we'll admit it – it hurt.Rusty
He pointed out the Doctor's faults (surely that's Clara's job?) and then went off to fight his fellow Daleks, alone. Can't help feel sorry for that old Rusty rebel.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Barium sulfate is a radiopaque agent. Radiopaque agents are used to help diagnose certain medical problems. Since radiopaque agents are opaque to (block) x-rays, the areas of the body in which they are localized will appear white on the x-ray film. This creates the needed distinction, or contrast, between one organ and other tissues. The contrast will help the doctor see any special conditions that may exist in that organ or part of the body.
Barium sulfate is taken by mouth or given rectally by enema. If taken by mouth, it makes the esophagus, the stomach, and/or the small intestine opaque to the x-rays so that they can be "photographed". If it is given by enema, the colon and/or the small intestine can be seen and photographed by x-rays.
The dose of barium sulfate will be different for different patients and depends on the type of test. The strength of the suspension and tablet is determined by how much barium they contain. Different tests will require a different strength and amount of suspension (some may require the tablet form), depending on the age of the patient, the contrast needed, and the x-ray equipment used.
Barium sulfate is to be used only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:

I am new to roasting. I am using a Behmor drum roaster. I was pleasantly surprised by the Bolivian coffee (purchased here) - I wasn't aware of Bolivian coffee beforehand. Interestingly enough, I found that the bean is real sensitive to how long the roast cycle takes (true in general?). I roasted the same profile, but my power (wattage/voltage) was lower, and the same profile went from 18 min (13:30 for FC) out to 22 min, and the taste was real flat on the longer roast (excellent on the shorter roast). Is this typical? This much variance?
Second question - any recommendations of a bean to blend with the Bolivian?

Trans fat raises your LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lowers your HDL ("good") (HDL) cholesterol. Find out more about trans fat and how to avoid it.
Trans fat is considered by many doctors to be the worst type of fat you can eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fat — also called trans-fatty acids — both raises your LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lowers your HDL ("good") cholesterol.
A high LDL cholesterol level in combination with a low HDL cholesterol level increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of men and women. Here's some information about trans fat and how to avoid it.
Some meat and dairy products contain small amounts of naturally occurring trans fat. But most trans fat is formed through an industrial process that adds hydrogen to vegetable oil, which causes the oil to become solid at room temperature.
This partially hydrogenated oil is less likely to spoil, so foods made with it have a longer shelf life. Some restaurants use partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in their deep fryers, because it doesn't have to be changed as often as do other oils.
The manufactured form of trans fat, known as partially hydrogenated oil, is found in a variety of food products, including:
In the United States if a food has less than 0.5 grams of trans fat in a serving, the food label can read 0 grams trans fat. This hidden trans fat can add up quickly, especially if you eat several servings of multiple foods containing less than 0.5 grams a serving.
When you check the food label for trans fat, also check the food's ingredient list for partially hydrogenated vegetable oil — which indicates that the food contains some trans fat, even if the amount is below 0.5 grams.
Trans fat, particularly the manufactured variety found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, appears to have no known health benefit. The Department of Agriculture recommends that the intake of trans fat be kept as low as possible.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is no longer "generally recognized as safe" and should be phased out of the production of food over the next several years.
Doctors worry about trans fat because of its unhealthy effect on your cholesterol levels — increasing your LDL and decreasing your HDL cholesterol. There are two main types of cholesterol:
If the fatty deposits within your arteries tear or rupture, a blood clot may form and block blood flow to a part of your heart, causing a heart attack, or to a part of your brain, causing a stroke.
Don't think a food that is free of trans fat is automatically good for you. Food manufacturers have begun substituting other ingredients for trans fat. Some of these ingredients, such as tropical oils — coconut, palm kernel and palm oils — contain a lot of saturated fat. Saturated fat raises your LDL cholesterol.
In a healthy diet, 25 to 35 percent of your total daily calories can come from fat — but saturated fat should account for less than 10 percent of your total daily calories.
Monounsaturated fat — found in olive, peanut and canola oils — is a healthier option than is saturated fat. Nuts, fish and other foods containing unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids are other good choices of foods with monounsaturated fats.

Posted on 01/18/2009 4:23:55 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Presidential autographs may go for $6K By: Carol E. Lee January 18, 2009 06:15 PM EST
When Barack Obama stepped into the Oval Office with his presidential brethren recently, he had already agreed to take part in one of this exclusive fraternitys secret traditions: autographing a limited number of copies of the photograph that captured the moment.
The former, current and future presidents pact to create only 250 copies of the photograph with all of their signatures upped the ante on an image that was a keepsake before it was even taken.
Early estimates value the signed pictures at more than $6,000 apiece, based on the rarity of such a meeting and how few copies of the photograph will be circulated. That value could push higher when collectors factor in Obamas popularity and historical significance as the first African-American president.
Youre going to see these valued and collected and sought after in a similar fashion as the previous ones, and when youre talking about a president thats very popular at the moment, that has to help, said Steven Hoskin, president of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association.

Dear Leader......
That's 6K in monopoly money?
Hopefully not for the bills he signs, unless those Chicago roots hang tough.
Gag me!
But, his signature on the bill he will have to sign for 'payback' to all those big 'donors' will be worth even more.
Ah, no thanks! Not in this lifetime.
Earned or printed?
Nope, your money- er taxpayers money....
Everything he signs will cost a bundle.
Yea there's a reason most of us working class schmucks never heard of this "tradition". We pay more than than in TAXES to support these creeps that are just having a good time.
What about OUR traditions that are being sold down the toilet?
I already blew my wad ordering commemorative coins and plates. /s
...me too!
his autograph isn't worth six cents..
One thing's for sure. I'd rather have the $6K.
For three Obama and two Carter you can trade a Nixon.
If I had that kind of money to burn I'd buy one just for the pleasure of painting Jimmy Carter's face out of the photo...... I'd leave his signature, though, just for the reminder that we had to endure 4 years of him and then many years of his strutting, imbecilic vanity as a "former statesman" jetting around the world.
Come to think of it, I'd do the same for Clinton and Obama...... :^)
Come to think of it, I'd just have to burn the photo b/c who'd want that kind of reminder?
I'll give 6 cents for it.
You're forgetting that 0 may be the 'new' $10 bill. Hamilton would get gone, but who cares about Hamilton, right?
Not the Libertarians.
"Everything he signs will cost a bundle."
about as much as WJC's used underwear.....
"Everything he signs will cost a bundle."
Post Of The Day!..ROTFLOL!!
I'm sorry, but, if deliberate, this is the act of a patrician pig. Even if RR did this, he was plain, bad wrong. Our nation's leaders are there to serve - they are not rock stars with staged events known to create revenue.
With proceeds going to his re-election campaign fund, I'm sure.
"Youre forgetting that 0 may be the new $10 bill."
0 should be the 'first' 3-dollar bill instead. It would be so-o-o-o-o-o fitting.
Bad as our media are the Politico proves they do weed out some miserable reporters.
Liberal journalists so pathetic even the media won't keep them.
Perfect concept for this article...Ain't got no money! :)
PT Barnum is smiling somewhere.
Wonder if he would accept the Zimbawae $1 Trillion dollar bill?
LOL! You nailed it.
I'd say his sig is worth about as much as a sheet of Charmin one-ply (used).
Is this legal?
I wonder what Hitler autographs are going for? That could give an indication of what Obama's will be worth in a few years.
Just print more silly! ; )
In "shyster heaven" and stating "See I told you so"...
As much as a baseball card.
that's ome pretty expensive toilet paper-—but those ponying up probably need that kind.
Hey...thanks for the great idea! If we print more money that means we're worth more, right???
I think they should put him on the $3 bill since he's as fake as the current $3 bill is!
I don't say this without serious consideration. Obama may be the anti-Christ. The level of adoration is Biblical.
I was thinking the same. He may not be at the moment.. but his first steps look eerily biblical. the masses don't seem to care... he is a messiah. all of this, and they just idolize him blindly.

Return to List of all PHA-NHLBI Award Winners
Massachusetts General Hospital "The Role of the BMP Type II Receptor in Vascular Function" NHLBI Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08) July 1, 2006 – June 30, 2011
The Role of the BMP Type II Receptor in Vascular Function
Pulmonary hypertension is thought to originate in part from abnormal growth or maintenance of cells of the pulmonary vessels. Pulmonary vascular remodeling as such may lead to profound debilitation, right ventricular heart failure, the need for lung and/or heart transplantation, or death. A relatively recent development in this field was the identification of mutations in a single gene locus, the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor (BMPR-II), in families with an inherited form of pulmonary hypertension. A major research effort is underway to understand the role of this receptor in pulmonary vascular development and maintenance, and its role in the disease of these afflicted families and in pulmonary hypertension in general. Our research has focused on a small animal model constructed to recapitulate the types of genetic mutations found in humans with the familial form of the disease. We have found that pulmonary vascular cells obtained from mice with BMPR-II mutations exhibit unexpected abnormalities in signaling. These abnormalities in signaling appear to lead to abnormal control of cell growth and differentiation in these cell types, and may contribute to the abnormal remodeling that leads to lesions of abnormally growing smooth muscle and endothelial cell types in diseased lung vessels. It is hoped that we can correlate these findings with a model of pulmonary hypertension in these same mutant mice. These cellular and animal models will help determine the precise pathways by which BMPR-II receptors and their signals affect the growth and developmental plan of pulmonary vessels. Understanding the role of BMPR-II in initiating disease could provide potential strategies for intercepting the disease or stopping its progression, and could provide a platform for testing these strategies.

Young Thai Wins UNEP Global Art and Environment Competition30/
Nairobi, 30 July 2013 -13-year-old Chiratchaya Kaeokamkong's painting of a child playing with fish, turtles and unicorns in a world awash with water and vegetation has won firstplace in the 22nd International Children's Painting Competition on the Environment, run by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).The work by Ms. Kaeokamkong, who is from Thailand, edged out almost 700,000 entries-a ten per cent increase on the number of entrants in 2012-by giftedchildren from 110 countries. All of the young artists painted under the theme of Water: Where Does it Come From? in support of the 2013 UNInternational Year of Water Co-operation.Ms. Kaeokamkong said she wanted her painting to show that "water is a very important resource, which we should conserve and keep clean for the nextgeneration".She won the top prize of US$2,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to attend the award ceremony, which takes place alongside UNEP's Champions of the Earthaward in New York in September.14-year-old Wesley Gong from the US was runner-up. His painting of a lake and the many species depending on it facing threats from industry was aimed atshowing how pollution threatens the water that we all need to maintain life.Mr. Gong will receive US$1,000 and a trip to the award ceremony, along with six regional winners, who are: Jessica Qiu (US), Tina Doumit (Lebanon), JuanDiaz (Colombia), Ephraim Finapri (Nigeria), Nattamon Ninkham (Thailand), and Yevheniia Zakharchuk (Ukraine).Joint 3rd, 4th and 5th prize winners will all receive diplomas."We chose the theme of the 22nd painting competition to underline that water does not come from taps or even plastic bottles bought at thesupermarket-it is generated by nature and supplied by forests and wetlands to rivers and lakes," said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP ExecutiveDirector Achim Steiner. "These budding young artists showed that they not only understand the crucial role of natural systems in providing this mostfundamental of resources, but the impacts on humans and wildlife when we damage and degrade our water-generating environment in the name of progress."The International Children's Painting Competition is UNEP's flagship art and environment event. Since 1991, it has received more than three million entriesfrom children in over 190 countries. The competition is organized in partnership with the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE),Bayer and the Nikon Corporation."It's impressive to see the children's level of awareness of the global water issue and how they use their imagination to express this in pictures," saidDr. Michael Preuss, head of Corporate Policy and Media Relations at Bayer. "The winning picture expresses the expectations of the younger generation and isan appeal to everyone to actively support the conservation of water.""The global winners created supreme expressions with imaginative ideas, creative compositions and plenty of color schemes," Ms. Tomoko Yano, SecretaryGeneral of FGPE. "Children's artworks fantastically show how precious water supports all life on the planet and keeps communities healthy. We hope that theselected artworks can widely enhance public awareness in the UN International Year of Water Cooperation.""It was a pleasure to see so many wonderful paintings submitted from over 100 countries worldwide. I am sure that all of the children who participated inthis competition had the chance to realize the importance of water for all creatures, and its sources," said Mr. Hideo Yamazaki, Manager, SocialContribution Section, CSR Department, Nikon Corporation. "This year in particular, I found it remarkable that the winners come from diverse regions such asAsia, Africa and Europe."Entries are now being sought for the 23rd competition, which will be themed around the issue of food waste. UNEP, in conjunction with the Foodand Agriculture Organization, is running a campaign called Think.Eat.Save. Reduce Your Foodprint to cut the estimated one-third of all food lostor wasted every year."We look forward to the 23rd competition and how children will take up the challenge of depicting the irrationality of a world where one inseven go hungry, while globally we waste and lose at least one third of all the food produced," said Mr. Steiner.Young people between 6 and 14 years are eligible to enter the competition. Full details are available at: http://unep.org/tunza/children/documents/23rd%20Painting%20competition.pdfNotes to Editors: A gallery of the winning paintings is available at: http://unep.org/tunza/children/22ndcompetition.aspxFor more information on Think.Eat.Save, visit http://www.thinkeatsave.org/For media enquiries, please contact:UNEP Newsdesk (Nairobi) on Tel. +254 725 939 620 or E-mail: email@example.com

Posted on 06/17/2013 11:30:32 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVetEdited on 06/17/2013 11:34:17 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
FBI agents are going to meet an incoming flight at a New Jersey airport after reports that a passenger claimed that everyone aboard had been poisoned.
United Airlines Flight 116 from Hong Kong is scheduled to land at about 2 p.m. Eastern on Monday at Newark Liberty Airport, outside New York City.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
12 Monkeys is an excellent movie, btw...
Was it the fish?
wrong Edward Snowden...
Was it the cat or the dog ?
I was on a flight like this about 4 years ago. A guy claimed that he had a bomb, but he had nothing but personal problems. This was coming from Europe to USA. We diverted to Langolier Central, Bangor Maine. The guy was led out in cuffs and we spent many many hours waiting on the plane, the airport, and we finally got a room were I fell out exhausted. It was on TV news and everything.
I don't know why you posted a photo of Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
..maybe it was the stewardess,"eat your peas"
Ah, the smoked chickenfish.
"We need to get these people to a hospital".
"A hospital, what is it??"
"Its a big building with patients, but thats not important right now"
So that's Branzino......
Capt.: I can't tell.
Dr. Rumack: You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
Baked chicken with smoked trout stuffing. Hmmm...what wine goes with that?
But I didn't have the salmon mousse!
Reminds me of college.
Smoking Loon Pinot Grigio
Surely you can't be serious.
Loved that movie.
Even though I flew fighter types, that scene made me think (for just a moment) of being a copilot.
MarlboTursalmoducken jingleheimer Schmidt
my name is your name too.
Well, it's 3 pm. So whut happened?
....wait for it.....
....and airline stewardess(or whatever the PC term is now)
she looks pretty good for her age.
I wondered if anyone would pick up on that.. Your awesome!
The culprit
(My favorite character in the movie)
Noted here too, but beaten to the punch[line]. Had some notion to question if there was anything funky about time and reality...
a bundle of health warning labels all rolled into one!
