(Especially after seeing and loving Transformers...)
Just curious since I agree with those who feel that the films that recognize Earth's existence increases the viewer's intimate connection to the film by adding that sense of realism, even when the rest of the story is quite unreal...
And BEFORE you decide, I don't necessarily mean the type of connection to Earth as was used in the first live-action film, the whole "Battle on Earth" idea which is definitely NOT what I want to see in a new He-Man film, rather I would like the connection to be that Marlena is in fact a young pilot from Earth that crash-lands on Eternia... Or possibly some other reboot connection to Earth like, but not necessarily, the one rumored about Adam being a pilot who crash-lands-on/comes-to Eternia to save it from the evil Skeletor and his technological(-or-not) army of mutants....
Personally I think they ought to try and stick with the original concept of having Marlena from Earth, but maybe just tweaking it slightly, like say she gets sucked through some time/warp portal that originates on Eternia but opens up on the other side somewhere on Earth just at the right moment, say as Marlena is piloting a test run for the u.s. air force when she suddenly vanishes into thin air, say in the midst of the Bermuda Triangle....?
Or maybe you have some different connection to Earth in mind, maybe one that is only hinted at in the film...?
Or maybe you adamantly oppose ANY type of connection to Earth...?
So what're your thoughts? Yes? ...No? ...Maybe? ...Don't mind either way?

A brain biopsy is a surgery that removes a small piece of brain tissue for testing. The tissue may be removed by one of the following ways:
- Stereotactic biopsy—A computer is used to help locate where the biopsy will be taken, so only a small hole will be needed
- Burr hole—A small hole is made in the skull over the biopsy area
- Craniotomy—A piece of skull is cut out and then put back in after the biopsy is taken
Reasons for Procedure
Brain biopsies are used to make a diagnosis so that treatment can be started. Some conditions that are diagnosed with this surgery include:
- Brain cancer
- Brain tumors or growths
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Creutzfeldt Jakob disease
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a brain biopsy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Brain swelling
- Damage to brain which may cause:
- Reaction to the anesthesia
- Heart attack
- Blood clots
Smoking may increase the risk of complications.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before your biopsy.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
At the appointment before your surgery, you can expect:
- A neurological exam—to find out how your nerves work, your mental status, and your motor and sensory abilities
- An MRI scan , CT scan , or PET scan of the brain—images of your body that will help your doctor plan the surgery
Time set aside for questions:
- Questions from your doctor—Do you have any new symptoms? What kind of help do you have at home?
- Questions you should ask your doctor—What will my recovery be like? How soon will I know the biopsy results? When will I be able to return to work?
- Arrange for a ride home from the hospital.
- You will be asked to fast for 8-12 hours before surgery. Ask your doctor if you should take your morning medicines with a sip of water before your surgery.
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to 1 week before the procedure.
You may receive:
- Local anesthesia and light sedation for stereotactic biopsies—blocks just the area where surgery is taking place; light sedation makes you sleepy during surgery
- General anesthesia for craniotomies or burr holes—blocks pain and keeps you asleep during surgery; given through an IV
Description of the Procedure
After you are anesthetized and no longer feel any pain, an area of your head will be shaved and washed with an antiseptic.
The skin on your scalp will be numbed. Next, a device that holds your head still will be placed on your head. Sometimes the device is not needed. A small incision and a small hole will be made in your skull. A thin needle will be inserted using a computer. The computer will help guide the needle to the exact spot. Using the needle, tissue will be removed from your brain. A dressing will then be applied.
A CT or MRI scan might be used to help find the biopsy site. A hole will be drilled into part of your scull. A needle will be inserted into your brain to remove tissue. Staples or sutures may be used to close the incision. A dressing will then be applied.
An incision will be made in your scalp. Part of the skull will then be removed. The sheets that cover your brain will be opened. A small sample of brain tissue will be removed. The sheets that cover your brain will be closed and stitched. The skull piece will be returned to its spot. Staples or stitches will be used to close the area. A dressing will be wrapped around your head.
Immediately After Procedure
After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Your vital signs will be checked. When you are stable, you will be transferred to a hospital room or be allowed to go home.
How Long Will It Take?
1 to several hours, depending on the type of biopsy
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will not feel pain during surgery. After surgery, you will be given pain medication.
Average Hospital Stay
Depending on the type of biopsy, you may stay in the hospital for 1-2 days or go home the same day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
Your brain function will be checked frequently. This will include:
- Pupil reactions
- Mental status
- Responsiveness
You may receive:
- Medication to prevent seizures
- Antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection
- The dressing will be removed in 24-48 hours. A lighter dressing will be place on your head.
While in the hospital, you may be asked to:
- Try not to strain or hold your breath. This can increase pressure on your brain.
- Get out of bed and walk. This will help to prevent problems, like blood clots and pneumonia .
When you are at home, do the following for a smooth recovery:
- Get plenty of rest.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Any changes in physical ability—balance, strength, or movement
- Any changes in mental status—level of consciousness, memory, thinking, or responsiveness
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, a lot of bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Headache that does not go away
- Changes in vision
- Fainting
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medications you were given, or that continue for more than 2 days after leaving the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Trouble controlling your bladder and/or bowels
If any of the following occurs, someone should call for medical help for you:
- New seizures
- Shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Loss of consciousness
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

It looks like AT&T and Verizon have made nice for the holidays. AT&T has dropped their lawsuit against Verizon for their "There's a map for that" ad campaign. Truthfully, I'm a little surprised it happened this quickly. But coming on the heels of AT&T's blow from the judge dismissing their request ordering Verizon to take down their commercials. Though maybe AT&T just decided it wasn't worth the cost of litigation.
Also dismissed was a law suit Verizon filed against AT&T. The lawsuit was asking for a judge to declare Verizon's "Most Reliable 3G Network" and similar tag lines are true. Which is all kind of funny Verizon is miffed at Sprint's use of "Most Dependable 3G Network" in their commercials. While this may not be the happy ending like in the Island of Misfit Toys, it still seems like a nice way to go for the holidays.

Although Red-winged Blackbirds are spied around Niles Pond during the winter months, spring brings flocks, and the males are an especially welcome sight chortling atop the pussy willow branches along the water's edge. Red-winged Blackbirds are one of North America's most abundant birds. If you were a male of the kind, you might be singing your heart out, too. The species is highly polygynous and some males have been known to have as many as 15 mates during a single season!
Female Red-winged Blackbird Image Courtesy Wiki Commons Media
The males are glossy black with distinctive red epaulettes and yellow wing bars, which they often puff out confidently when singing from their perches. The females have a streaky brown song sparrow-like wing patterning and stay close to the ground feeding and building their intricately woven nests at the base of cattails and reeds, along the marsh's edge.
If you have a spare moment, send us a photo of your favorite signs welcoming spring and we'll post them under a group 'welcome spring' post. Send photos to me at email@example.com (thanks Lenny).

By Dan Tulchin, KF12, Nicaragua
I have always been interested to learn the local perceptions of the United States when living abroad. On a recent night, after jumping in a cab, I spent some quality time with Jauro, a loquacious taxi driver with an opinion on just about everything. For contextual purposes, I must provide some information about the taxi experience in Nicaragua's capital. Firstly, as in many developing countries, there are no streets or number signs. Directions are all relative to a common park, cemetery, rotunda, mall, you name it. In Managua, al lago refers to the north (where the lake is), arriba marks east (where the sun rises) and abajo west (where the sun sets). A typical direction might read "de la rotunda de Plaza Inter, una cuadra al lago, una abajo, al frente del cementario." Executing a flawless taxi ride to your planned destination can be a feat in and of itself. Secondly, taxis have proved to be a potential danger for many foreigners. As most taxis are collective rides, many foreigners have found themselves in a precarious position in the back of a cab after the driver picks up a couple of his associates, who then promptly demand any and all valuables. There are many precautionary measures that people take to protect themselves: pretending to call a friend and repeating the license plate number, sitting in the front, only calling certain drivers, snapping a picture of the license plate, and only employing older drivers, to name a few. Making friends with a taxi driver can be very shrewd.
Within minutes of picking me up, Jauro definitively stated his three favorite things about my homeland, which I believe was very telling for how many Nicaraguans view the United States.
Number 1 – the almighty USD$. "Anywhere in the entire world, you can carry the dollar; it's not quite the same for Nicaraguan Cordoba." Astute point, Jauro. Indeed, the USD$ is actually legal tender in Nicaragua and his point underlined the broader theme of the extent of American economic influence in the country. It's important to note that while Ortega and the top brass of the Nicaraguan government have at times used less than flattering rhetoric toward the U.S., the two countries work closely on development, infrastructure, tourism and trade issues. The level of remittances and the number of secondhand goods (think cars and buses) coming south from the states also greatly affect Nicaraguans.
Number 2 – the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nicaraguans are crazy about baseball, more so than soccer. There are scores of serious Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies fans, in particular, and the sport can be a great icebreaker and topic of conversation in many social settings. At CEPRODEL (http://www.ceprodel.org.ni/), where I am currently stationed, the CFO and I frequently debate baseball and lament the Yankees' recent playoff exit.
Number 3 – Jennifer Aniston. This probably elicited the most animation from Jauro – to say that he was a big fan would be an understatement. American movies and television shows are piped in to the few cable channels here and are often the nighttime entertainment for many families. Action heroes like Bruce Willis are household names. More generally, the pervasiveness of American music, movies and fashion is stunning. It's hard to truly appreciate the cultural reach of the United States without living abroad.
Generally, this is the prism that Jauro, and many others, see the United States. While it may be somewhat distorted, it certainly leaves me with a newfound appreciation for how the United States truly influences everyday life for many Central Americans.
Dan Tulchin (KF12) is enjoying his last few days in Nicaragua and looks forward to life back in the Big Apple.
