1952. A year of political unrest, scientific progress, and mystery... okay, I have no authentic idea about what sort of political unrest or scientific progress might have been going on in 1952, but I'm sure the year fostered some relative form of each. Anyway, we're here to focus on the mystery — the burning questions surrounding that central point in the 20th century, and the developing big screen depiction thereof. For some time now, master filmmaker Brad Bird has been working on a top secret project titled 1952, the plot of which is yet unknown.
Until now, the only clue we've gotten so far about the developing Disney picture is that it's a science fiction in the vein of Steven Spielberg's classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and that Bird's creative team includes writers Jeff Jensen and Damon Lindelof and star George Clooney. But now, we get a much bigger hint (kind of) regarding what the genius behind The Iron Giant and Ratatouille has in store for us. The below picture:
Yeah, I know. "What?" That's what see said, too. The image of a mysterious banker's box, which Bird tweeted (and yes, that phrasing is hilarious) on Wednesday night, is said to be what inspired the story of 1952 to begin with. Now that we've gotten a gander at what sparked the unknown premise, we can proceed in a communal confused head-tilting, and then set forth with our own theories about the top secret developing project. Here's what our staff came up with:
"This movie is produced by Disney, right? Well, the guy in those photos looks a lot like Walt Disney and Walt Disney Imagineering (then WED Enterprises), which began the development of Disneyland, was founded in 1952. Coincidence? I think not." - Kelsea Stahler
"A young boy whose father recently passed becomes obsessed with his professional belongings, which leads him to the discovery of a famous classic film. No, wait, that's Hugo. Okay, let's try again: A young boy with an absent father takes up a hobby as a filmmaker, which leads him down a dangerous path. No, wait, that's Super 8. A young robot rifles through a box of junk on Earth and becomes obsessed with an old Technicolor film. No, wait, that's Wall-E. Okay, I'll go for a real one: A 1970s-era man who frequently escapes the realness of the recession with old technicolor movies, travels back in time to post-WWII America, where he revolutionizes the movie industry with knowledge of modern film techniques. But that's a terrible plot line, so let me just go back to thinking about Hugo." - Kate Ward
"We delve into Walt Disney's secret past as a spy during World War II. The movie is framed with letters between Disney and a mysterious epistolary companion, whose name is never revealed. As the movie progresses, we become more and more suspicious of Disney's motives and allegiances, until, in a third act twist, we learn that Disney has been corresponding with unearthly beings. Don't worry about how aliens learned to use the United States Postal Service, that's irrelevant." - Abbey Stone
"Brad might be creating a movie about the Robertson Panel and the US government's story about the US Air Force investigating UFOs in the DC area in 1952. I bet Brad is going to investigate these series of events. The files in the box represent all the reports surrounding UFOs during this era, and the reports that CIA investigated." - Lindsey DiMattina
"Maybe Goofy was actually an alien/the mastermind behind the Disney empire. He was the only character who never really made sense. As they said in Stand by Me, Pluto was the dog — so what was Goofy? He wore a hat, and drove a car... an alien, that's what. Also, when I went to Disney world, he drew me a map with a crayon that was really, really helpful. He knows way too much." - Shaunna Murphy
"Envelope enthusiast Lee Avian has spent his life putting together a collection of some of the most time honored pieces of manila filing equipment, never bothering to open his beloved packages for fear of compromising their value. But when Lee happens upon one envelope containing pictures of two guys who seem to be genuinely enjoying one another's company, he realizes his entire life has been wasted on his solitary obsession. Perhaps it is time for Lee to find a friend." - Michael Arbeiter
"...an excuse to profit off of the fact that he just cleaned out the attic in his parents' house?" - Jean Bentley
"Maybe this case suggests the movie is about someone from Hollywood in 1952 who is recruited by the government to search for or study extraterrestrial life. Possibly an animator from the Walt Disney Studio who's assigned by the government to draw UFOs or aliens based on the descriptions of people who claim they've had a close encounter or been abducted. Of course, the artist ultimately discovers that these witnesses' claims are too similar to be coincidental. Given Bird's background in animation, it seems like a way for him to pay tribute to the art form. He could be making a statement about animation as a metaphor for plunging into the unknown and discovering new possibilities about ourselves and the universe around us." - Christian Blauvelt
"THIS is actually what was in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction." - Aly Semigran
What do you think the movie is about?

In no particular order of importance, I believe artwork can be judged on at least the following criteria:
Emotional provocation
Conceptual complexity/quality
Integrity (or consistency)
[there are footnotes to a few of those you can see on the original]
Later I elaborated further that "OK, I lied. Truth is the number 1 criteria," which elicted two comments that deserve a response. The second, by aurix, was simply, "Could you elaborate on truth as a criterion?" which I'll take as my license for responding in some detail to the first comment by Henry:
Why is truth the number one criterion? And what does it even mean? I was just about to comment that your list of criteria was quite good, except that truth should be taken off.The rest of Henry's comment also suggests he and I have very different working definitions of "truth," but I'll respond to this part first. For me, "truth" is not an intentional sincerity of expression, but rather a well-considered, effective expression of an insightful analysis, which is virtually my exact definition of a "work of art." In this sense, truth is for me the most important criterion for determining whether work is good or not.
If by truth you mean intentional sincerity of expression, I don't think truth has anything to do with anything.
In thinking about this I keep coming back to Warhol (and if you don't agree that Warhol was a good artist, you might not get much out of the rest of this). Andy told more truth through his work than we'll likely process for decades. Consider how he notoriously reponded to interviews with what he thought the asker wanted to hear. This is a particularly good example of what I mean by truth, because on the surface it seems to be anything but (thereby illustrating that it's not a matter of a relative point of view, but rather an excellent means of conveying a point, regardless of who may agree or disagree with it). The point of Warhol's work here was, in part, to demonstrate that the interview (the media attention and resulting celebrity) was the thing, not its content. So whether what he actually said was somehow cosmically true (however one measures that) was irrelevant...there was truth in his message, and how he chose to express that message was a well-considered, effective expression of an insightful analysis (i.e., it was good art).
Henry continued:
Well, perhaps, but sincerity is not an element of my definition of truth. Irony (and [I think] even cynicism) can reveal truth as well. So for me the ultimate test of "truth" is not a matter of intention (that's part of assessing conceptual quality and integrity) but rather of effect (like that of emotional response [think "beauty is truth" and this is more clear]).
I was just talking with a friend a couple of days ago who said contemporary art was losing its soul, because (among other reasons,) an artist nowadays could vomit on a canvas and call it art. My friend quickly turned to me and said as an aside, "of course, if you vomited on a canvas, that would be different. I know you, and I know you probably had a good reason for it."
So apparently "truth" is in the eye of the beholder.
It can be bent very easily, especially among the "educated." Like car salesmen around the world already know, the smarter you are, the easier you are to fool. I'd strike truth from the list, whatever it is.I'm happy to strike sincerity from the list [update: or I would be if it were on the list...], but art without "truth," as I see it, is inferior. It may be pleasant enough, but it's not meaningful beyond that, and I strongly believe there is more.

Haus LebensWert
Haus LebensWert is a philanthropically developed and supported facility in Cologne, Germany where patients may receive oncology services free of charge. An integral part of Haus LebensWert's vision and mission is to vigorously help cancer patients cope with life both during treatment and afterwards. Another key component is the use of alternative and complimentary therapies. These therapies are made available to patients in addition to traditional measures as part of a seamless whole. Examples include psycho-oncology, art & music therapy, gymnastics and other exercise, voice instruction, Feldenkrais training, Nordic walking, dance therapy, massage and aroma massage, Tai-Qi, Qi-gong and acupuncture. The Haus LebensWert, which complements a more traditional hospice, has been well received by both patients and practitioners, including those who refer their patients from outside (Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program. 2009:320-5).
Critics of "complimentary and alternative medicine" (CAM) frequently complain of a double standard, and a lack of rigor in its evaluation. Some feel this looseness encourages bloat and charlatanism, and risks distracting patients and practitioners from the path to "good outcome."
"Academic medicine integrates three of the most honorable human activities: treating the ill, teaching, and research. The quality that all three share is persistent quest for truth. However, there is reluctance of academic medicine today to openly defend scientific truth by challenging the arguments and the very existence of "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM). There is no sound proof of CAM effectiveness, no hypotheses on the mechanisms of their action, nor scientific reports testing them. The fact that patients are charged for these "healing" activities makes CAM a plain fraud. With these facts in mind, the name "complementary and alternative medicine" is undeserved and misleading. CAM advocates maintain that CAM should be recognized precisely because it is widely practiced and very promising, that it has a special holistic/human approach, and works at least as a placebo in situations where medicine can do nothing more. As it seems that the public interest in paramedicine will only grow stronger before it grows weaker, scientists must raise their voice and question the truthfulness of CAM more openly."
Croat Med J. 2004 Dec;45(6):684-8.
While a truth-centered paradigm is difficult to dispute, there is more than scientific truth at stake in the quest for human understanding. There is also existential truth. While physician-scientists optimize therapeutic regimens by evaluating their effects on controlled trial populations, each individual patient attempts to grapple with his or her radically changed reality both in terms of life, and death. Quantity—be it months of survival, tumor size, or fraction cured—can be measured with increasing accuracy and predictive value. Quality can't be so easily parameterized. Moreover, even attempts made to evaluate "quality of life" tend to fall short because experience transcends subjective criteria when they are too rigidly circumscribed. Patients exist within the larger communities of other patients, clinicians, family, and the omnibus of culture. If society views the sick as mechanisms in need of repair, and devalues anything regarded as "touchy feely," then those in charge will cut the funds that allow physicians to spend time talking with patients or considering the larger life outside the body, while adding to the already glutted ranks of surgi-centers and MRI scanners. Certainly the possible advantages of reinvigorating the art of medicine, or even expanding it to include real art, such as expressive writing, or speaking, as therapy,will be viewed as unworthy of "serious" exploration. This is what has happened so far. The impersonal and alienating experience of illness is nearly a truism, at least in the U.S.
Hospitals, especially large referral centers, can be daunting and soulless places. As we move necessarily towards more "cost-effective" healthcare it will be important not to lose sight of the fact that quality and quantity exist to a large degree as orthogonal axes. Designing healthcare to have a more empirical and inclusive approach to alternative healing strategies assures a better chance at quality of life, and should be encouraged as long as these don't induce patients to forego proven treatment. A life of fear and despair may be nearly as much a lost life as for the patient who dies of his or her disease.
Haus LebensWert, by the way, means House for a Life Worth Living.

Thankyou so much for this article.I'm going tp try to get this out there somehow ( a challenging task fo someone as reclusive as myself)
june p. lopez md permalinkJuly 20, 2010 5:35 am
I am Dr. June Lopez, a physician from the Philippines. I am currently being treated for a relapse of my Non Hodgkins Large B cell Lymphoma. My oncologist shared with me your article on" The bridge between patient and doctor: the shift from CAM to integrative medicine". I find it a very important piece of information for my condition as I am desperate to look for a facility which may have special experience in integrating eastern and western approaches to the treatment of my condition. I am being advised to go for bone marrow transplant and high dose chemo as soon as possible. This is the reason fo my being here in Singapore right now.
I find that the toxic effects of regular chemo (I had one round last year of R-CHOP and currently finished with 3 cycles of a new regimen of R=ICE) are becoming overwhelming esp because of the bone marrow suppression for which I have received several transfusions these pas three months. And apart from these side effects, the financial cost of this treatment is simply staggering.
Could you refer me to other literature more specific for my type of lymphoma as well as centers which may offer me reliable alternatives?
Thank you so much for your time and your immediate response.
June Lopez MD

Dear June,
I was looking for your e-mail address and found your appeal, which of course made me very sad, since there is nothing I can do about it. I am currently writing about our joint efforts -and rather spectacular successes – in promoting the cause of treatment for victims of torture in Asia. I feel very close to you in this situation – successfully fighting my cancer for more than 5 years and living a very good life with Camelia in spite of my 81 years.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 15, 2012)—Violence became a Grade I winner in his third career start, remaining undefeated with a 1 ¼ length victory over Fury Kapcori and nine other 2-year-olds in the $750,000 CashCall Futurity (video) Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The win by the 6-5 favorite came a little more than an hour after Grandeur, the 8-5 choice, captured the Grade II, $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup.
Giving shippers a sweep of the four Grade I events offered during the Autumn meet, Violence, who is trained by Todd Pletcher for Steve Marshall's Black Rock Thoroughbreds LLLP, received a ground saving ride for most of the trip from jockey Javier Castellano.
Angled outside Fury Kapcori, a 16-1 shot who survived a four-pronged battle for the early lead, for the stretch run, Violence gained a short lead with less than an eighth of a mile remaining and went on to a workmanlike win.
The final time for the 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track was 1:43.50. A $600,000 purchase at the Keeneland September sale in 2011, Violence returned $4.40, $4.20 and $3.40.
A son of Medaglia d'Oro out of the Gone West mare Violent Beauty, Violence, who increased his bankroll to $543,000, has earned his wins at three different tracks.
Betfair Hollywood Park joined Saratoga – a maiden victory by a neck Aug. 18 – and Aqueduct – a two-length decision in the Grade II Nashua Nov. 4.
"He's a colt that we've thought a lot of all along,'' said Pletcher, who won his second significant 2-year-old race in California in a span of six weeks, following Shanghai Bobby's victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
"He's a big, leggy colt that we felt like was going to continue to improve and mature. After he won first time out, we talked about a couple of strategies. One was to try and make the Breeders' Cup and the other was a more patient strategy.
"We decided to wait on the Nashua and when he ran so well in there, we started looking at whether we wanted to run him back in 20 days in the (Grade II) Remsen (at Aqueduct), put him away for the winter or look for something else.
"We decided that if we were going to run him once more this year, this race made the mot sense. Another factor in deciding to ship out here is that he is the kind of horse that has such a great disposition and good mind that shipping wouldn't bother him at all.''
Pletcher added that Violence will get some time off and probably won't make his 3-year-old debut until sometime in late February or early March.
Castellano, who had won the Grade I Hollywood Derby Nov. 25 aboard the New York bred Unbridled Command, is looking forward to 2013 with Violence.
"I positioned myself in a very good spot around the first turn and I believe that was the key to winning this race,'' said Castellano. "You don't want to be too far back, particularly in a race for 2-year-olds.
"I had a lot of confidence in this colt. He is so calm and handles himself very professionally. I think he is a special horse and I am really looking forward to big times.''
Second in last month's Real Quiet Stakes, Fury Kapcori wound up 2 ½ lengths in front of Den's Legacy, who fared best of the four runners Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert started in search of a seventh Futurity win.
Giving Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer his second consecutive runner-up performance in the Futurity after Rousing Sermon completed the exacta in 2011, Fury Kapcori paid $10.40 and $6.20. The show price on Den's Legacy, who finished 5 ¼ lengths in front of 60-1 shot Oxbow, was $6.40.
Completing the order of finish were He's Had Enough, the 7-2 second choice who was making his first start since finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Carving, Dirty Swagg, Little Jerry, Really Mr Greely, Simon Eyes and Title Contender.
Besides Violence and Unbridled Command, the other shippers who won Grade I's during the meet were Pure Fun (Hollywood Starlet) and Better Lucky (Matriarch).
In the Turf Cup, Grandeur powered home in the final quarter of a mile to defeat 29-1 shot Interaction and eight others, becoming the first 3-year-old to win since Bien Bien – who was moved up to first after the disqualification of Fraise – in 1992.
Trying 1 ½ miles for the first time after a troubled runner-up effort behind Unbridled Command in the Grade I Hollywood Derby Nov. 25, Grandeur laid relatively close to the moderate fractions, swung outside the run home and proved best for the second time in three races in the United States.
Owned by Yvonne Jacques and now in the barn of Paddy Gallagher, the gelded son of Verglas and the Desert Sun mare Misskinta completed the distance in 2:27.95 while winning by three-quarters of a length.
The victory was his sixth in 12 starts, pushing his earnings to $398,438. The gray has been worse than third only twice.
Favored for the second time in this country, Grandeur paid $5.20, $3.60 and $2.60.
"I really didn't do much with him,'' said Gallagher. "I didn't have to. This was his third graded race in six weeks.
"I'm just thankful that the owner left him with me. She lives in Europe and I believe the plan was to take him back there, depending on what he did today and eventually run him in Dubai. I'd sure like to keep him, but he's going back to (his former trainer) Jeremy Noseda.
The win was a meet-high fifth in a stakes and third in the Turf Cup for Gomez, who returned to action Saturday after missing the previous two days due to illness.
"I wasn't happy with the horse I was following (Optimizer),'' said Gomez, whose earlier Turf Cup victories came with Boboman (2006) and Sunriver (2007). "I wanted to find my way around him and then I thought about sliding my way through Slim Shadey, but decided I didn't like that option.
"As we approached the final turn, I decided to take him outside of Optimizer and when I asked (Grandeur) he went on with it without a problem.''
Seventh in the Grade II Citation Handicap Nov. 23, Interaction improved with additional distance, gaining second with a rail rally under jockey Joe Talamo. The Argentine bred returned $19.80 and $11.80.
Seeking to give Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas his first graded stakes win at Betfair Hollywood Park since Surfside captured the 1999 Hollywood Starlet, Optimizer, another 3-year-old and the 4-1 second choice, was third, 2 ¼ lengths behind Interaction.
The early leader under jockey Corey Nakatani, the English Channel colt deferred to Slim Shadey down the backside, then had some minor traffic issues in the stretch. The show price on Optimizer was $3.80.
Racing will resume Sunday. Post time for the final day of the Autumn meet is 12:30 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10 a.m. for simulcasts.
The main event is the inaugural running of the $200,000 King Glorious Stakes for 2-year-olds bred or sired in California. Scheduled for seven furlongs over Cushion Track, the Soviet Problem is part of the Golden State series. It is the ninth of 11 races.
Throughout the day, there will be drawings between races for gift cards and other prizes as part of fan appreciation day.
The last race at Betfair Hollywood Park also begins the final "405 Double'' of the season. The $2 minimum wager requires a bettor to pick the winners of the last local race and the first at Los Alamitos.

A handful of oily sand grabbed from a Louisiana wetland brought back some strong memories for Earl Kingik. As a traditional hunter and whaler in Alaska's Arctic, it reminded him of the Exxon Valdez spill. As he and other tribal leaders toured the U.S. Gulf Coast for signs of the BP oil spill, they worried that what's happening now in Louisiana could happen if offshore drilling proceeds off the Alaskan coast.
"There's no way to clean up an oil spill in the Arctic," said Kingik, an Inupiat tribal member from Point Hope, Alaska. Compared to Louisiana, where the waters are relatively calm and cleanup equipment and experts are nearby, the Arctic Ocean is a hostile place for oil and gas exploration. The Arctic leaders made their pilgrimage to the Gulf Coast as part of a campaign to block planned exploratory drilling by Shell Oil in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.
"What I saw was devastating out there," Martha Falk, the tribal council treasurer of the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope in Alaska, said after the Gulf Coast tour by seaplane, boat and on foot. If the same thing occurred off Alaska, she said, "We would have to wait days and days and days for (cleanup) equipment to reach our area."
The planned start of Alaska offshore drilling in July coincides with the spring hunt of the bowhead whale, a central event in the Inupiat culture, Falk said.
"The natural smell of the ocean was non-existent" along the Gulf Coast, said Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, an Inupiat from Nuiqsut, a tiny Alaskan village near the Beaufort Sea. She was brought close to tears as she recalled the faces of the Gulf residents she saw on the tour. "It is a strong burden that I'll carry with me the rest of my life."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (January 17, 2012)—California breds Acclamation and Amazombie were among the winners when the Eclipse Awards were announced January 16 in Beverly Hills.
A two-time winner of the Charles Whittingham and Jim Murray Memorial Handicaps at Hollywood Park, Acclamation was honored as the champion older male.
Owned by Thomas Sanford and trainer Bill Spawr, Amazombie was selected champion male sprinter, primarily due to his victory in the Breeders' Cup Sprint last Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs.
A 6-year-old gelded son of Northern Afleet and the In Excess mare Wilshe Amaze, Amazombie has won nine of 22.
Trained by Don Warren for breeders Bud and Judy Johnston and Peter and Mary Hilvers, Acclamation has nine wins in 28 attempts. He's a 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat and the Silveyville mare Winning in Style.
In addition to his victory for older male, Acclamation was runner-up in two categories, finishing behind Cape Blanco for male turf horse and Havre de Grace for Horse of the Year.
Owned by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farm and trained by Larry Jones, Havre de Grace became the third consecutive filly or mare to win Horse of the Year honors, following Rachel Alexandra (2009) and Zenyatta (2011).
Havre de Grace won five of seven in 2011, including a beating of the boys in the Woodward Stakes last September at Saratoga. The 5-year-old daughter of Saint Liam was also champion older female.
Other winners included: Hansen (2-year-old male), My Miss Aurelia (2-year-old filly), Animal Kingdom (3-year-old male), Royal Delta (3-year-old filly), Stacelita (female turf horse), Musical Romance (female sprinter), Black Jack Blues (steeplechaser), Ramon Dominguez (jockey), Kyle Frey (apprentice jockey), Bill Mott (trainer), Ken and Sarah Ramsey (owner) and Adena Springs (breeder).

Prep Signing: East's Moose could play several positions for Catawba
By Ronnie Gallagher
GRANITE QUARRY — If there is anything Catawba football coach Curtis Walker should like about East Rowan recruit Dalton Moose, it's this.
The cornerback is a team-first guy, regardless of where the Indians might use him.
Moose was a key figure in an East Rowan turnaround last season. The Mustangs went from one win in 2011 to eight, mainly because seniors like him sacrificed for the team.
East coach Danny Misenheimer evaluated his returners when he took over as head coach and Moose definitely caught his attention.
"I knew he was a fast kid, a hard worker and very knowledgeable," Misenheimer said.
He told Moose he was no longer an outside linebacker. He was headed to the defensive backfield.
"I thought, 'Oh, Lord, I've gotta play cornerback,' " the cheerful Moose laughed recently before an East track meet. "I had to practice a lot. I was out there a lot of weekends. It was trial by fire, pretty much. Linebacker is all downhill. Cornerback is all backwards. It's a whole different ballgame."
It took an interception in a win over South Rowan to make Moose feel totally comfortable.
"I jumped as high as I could and somehow, it made it into my hands," Moose said. "I felt like I had finally made it."
It took a win over West Rowan to make Moose more comfortable with Misenheimer's winning attitude.
"From a freshman, you're taught you're never going to beat West," Moose said. "We finally did it and the weight was off our shoulders."
With a grin, he added, "After that, we got a little cockiness."
As far as Moose, it was a low-key cockiness. Misenheimer said he wasn't a screamer, just a producer.
"He is more of a leader by example," Misenheimer said. "He's not very vocal. But he does jump into any drill. He does what he's asked."
Moose seemed to improve each week.
"He made a bunch of key tackles," Misenheimer pointed out. "As the year went, he was more technically sound. He changed a lot of games for us."
Moose, a four-year varsity player, accepted the switch because he had been humbled by terrible seasons as a sophomore and junior.
"We were tired of losing and tired of being on the bottom," he said.
Moose finished with three interceptions, including one against Rockingham County in the playoffs.
It was also his speed that drew the attention of not only Catawba, but several other schools.
The solid 6-foot, 186-pounder runs an 11.3 100 meters and a 23.4 200 meters.
"Catawba came in really early," said Moose.
He was most interested in the local school because he could be reunited with his old high school coach, Brian Hinson, now a Catawba assistant.
"I didn't feel at home anywhere else," Moose said. "I really felt a sense of family at Catawba."
And as all good sons should, he talked to his mom, Lisa.
"She said, 'We can come watch you every Saturday. I'd like that,' "
What Lisa and dad Chad will watch is a versatile player who could be used at several positions.
"I'm not sure where he'll play," Misenheimer said. "I'm assuming cornerback or linebacker, somewhere on defense. He'll definitely play special teams."
"They said with my speed — wide receiver, maybe," Moose added.
No problem. Moose has already proven to the Catawba staff he'll move to any spot to get playing time — and help his team win.

When Mario Gutierrez got back to work Friday night at Betfair Hollywood Park, six days after piloting I'll Have Another to an emotional victory in the Kentucky Derby, it was a familiar face who gave him a leg up.
Though Gutierrez was well known in Canada, it was Vladimir Cerin who helped put the 25-year-old jockey on the map in Southern California. Gutierrez rode 13 winners during the Santa Anita meeting and five of those were for Cerin. The five winners came from only 14 mounts and several produced large payoffs, including Sunland Vintage ($56.20), Bet On Victor ($42.60) and Takethemoneyandrun ($19.40).
"He's such a great kid," said a prideful Cerin. "So humble. When he won the Derby, that emotion was real. When I saw the tears streaming down his face after the race, I felt like crying myself."
In his first post-Derby ride, Gutierrez received a nice round of applause in the post parade, waived to the crowd, then went about his business and took Blake gate-to-wire for a $7.20 victory.
"I just gave him one instruction," said Cerin. I told him to make the lead at all costs. We thought this was going to be a good horse, and he is, just not at the level we thought."
Incidentally, the victory was especially satisfying for Cerin, as Blake is named for the trainer's 19-year-old son.
Include Me Out, Zazu and Ellafitz have completed their major preparations and are set to collide in Saturday's $150,000 Marjorie L. Everett Handicap, formerly the Milady Handicap. The race honors Mrs. Everett, the former longtime chairwoman, chief operating officer and president at Hollywood Park.
Include Me Out, who has developed into one of the nation's top distaffers for Ron Ellis, has been rested since a victory in the Grade I Santa Margarita March 17th. Regular rider Joe Talamo has the call for the Jay Em Ess Stable colorbearer.
Zazu, winner of the Grade II Hollywood Oaks last summer at Betfair Hollywood Park, has not seen action since winning the Grade I Lady's Secret last October. The grey daughter of Tapit has a solid foundation of works for John Sadler. With Joel Rosario out of town for the Preakness, Garrett Gomez picks up the mount.
Ellafitz, a distant fourth to Include Me Out as the odds-on favorite in the Santa Margarita, will try to rebound as she's reunited with Rafael Bejarano. The Tiznow mare, who captured the Grade II Bayakoa Handicap over Cushion Track in December, worked six furlongs in 1:11 last Friday at Santa Anita.
Graham Motion said by telephone Sunday morning that his pair of Everett nominees, Aruna and Pachattack, were doubtful for the race, but added that Aruna is "50-50" to ship west for the Gamely Stakes at 1 1-8 miles on turf May 28th. "It will be either the Gamely or the Sheepshead Bay in New York. The fact that the Gamely is a Grade I is appealing," said the trainer of 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom.
Graham added, "I would have loved to run Pachattack in the Everett, but the timing isn't right. It would be coming back a little too quick for her." Pachattack won the Grade III Lyons Doubledogdare Stakes April 20th at Keeneland.
CLOSING STRIDES—Barry Abrams, 58, received good news from the doctor recently regarding his bi-yearly cancer screening. "Everything looks good and I don't have to go back until October. I've got other problems, but the cancer's gone," joked the conditioner. Abrams underwent throat surgery last year and also in 2005……..Unbeaten Ismene, winner of the California Breeders' Champion Stakes (Filly Division) in December, took her first step toward a comeback with a three furlong drill in :37 3/5 Friday. "She had a little chip in her knee and we took it out," said trainer Bill Spawr. "We never had to turn her out. She's doing great and should be back in about two months. She might make a race here."…….Can't keep a good man down department— Joel Rosario, leading rider the last six Betfair Hollywood Park meetings, got off to an uncharacteristically slow start, winning with only one of his first 32 mounts. Since then, however, the Dominican rider has been on a tear, booting home seven winners in his last 14 rides, including a four-bagger Saturday, vaulting him into a tie for third in the standings. Agent Ronnie Ebanks reports that Rosario will be at Pimlico Friday and Saturday and will take his usual seat on Creative Cause in the Preakness.……..On the trainer side, Bob Baffert started the meeting with guns blazing, winning with 11 of his first 24 starters. The Hall of Fame trainer tripled Saturday, including a victory with Drill in the Lazaro Barrera Memorial Stakes…….. Tony Matos confirmed that Garrett Gomez will be at Belmont Park May 28th to ride Reneesgotzip in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at one mile. The Peter Miller trainee, who won an allowance race on Cushion Track May 4th, is two-for-two at Betfair Holllywood Park………… Through Saturday, there were 278 people alive in the Show Me the Money Contest.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 21, 2012)—Glamorista wore down pacesetter Sparkling Style in the final eighth of a mile, giving Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert an exacta sweep in the $58,300 feature Thursday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The defending Spring/Summer champion, Baffert maintained his lead in the 2012 standings. He has 22 victories through 34 days, leaving him seven clear of runner-up John Sadler.
Owned by Thoroughbred Legends Racing Stable LLC, Glamorista, the 2-1 second choice, tracked her stablemate for most of the journey and inched away late to win by one length.
Ridden by Chantal Sutherland, the 5-year-old daughter of Unbridled's Song and the Dr. Blum mare Critical Crew won for the third time in attempts. Bred in Kentucky by Gulf Coast Farms LLC and Pollock Farms, Glamorista has earned $113,500.
Now 2-for-3 over Cushion Track, Glamorista covered the 6 ½ furlongs in 1:16.21 and returned $6.40, $3.60 and $3.
Bidding for her third win of the season, Sparkling Style, the 5-2 third choice, wound up 5 ¼ lengths clear of True Way of Grace, the longest shot in the field of five at 28-1. Ridden by Joe Talamo, Sparkling Style paid $3.60 and $3.80. The show price on True Way of Grace was $8.
Orientatious, the 11-10 favorite making her first start since last July 23 at Del Mar, trailed.
The Orientate filly, who had defeated maidens by 4 ¼ lengths as a 3-year-old in her lone previous effort at Betfair Hollywood Park, was well positioned early by leading jockey Rafael Bejarano, made a bid to get closer to the leaders around the turn, but had nothing to give late. Orientatious wound up 7 ¼ lengths behind Gem of Soul.
Racing will resume Friday. Post time is 7:05 p.m. General admission is $10 -$20 after 8:30 p.m.
At the conclusion of the eight race program, a concert starring Jimmy Cliff will begin at the North Park. Approximate start time is 10:30 p.m.
The main event is the $68,000 Tsunami Slew Stakes. The one mile turf race attracted six 3-year-olds, including Tones, Tiz Point, Boat Trip, Chips All In, Unusual Heatwave and Canuletmedowneasy.

Under attack, banks fight back
To thwart today's cybercriminals, banks turn to predictive analytics, rapid information sharing.
- |
- Written by John Ginovsky
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Here's a very scary, but very real, crime scenario: A bank customer innocently logs into his online account. In the split second between when his credentials get validated and the online bank screen loads, a malicious program that's lurked in the background of one computer or the other takes charge of the session, creates a transaction, sends the customer's money to the criminal's designated account, and releases the session back to the customer. All the customer notices, if he notices anything at all, may be a slight fluttering of the screen. It's called ATS, or automatic transfer system, and it's real.
"What they've done with this is pretty ingenious—not that I like to give them compliments. But instead of collecting your user name and password and then going into each account one by one and trying to defraud it and so on, the malware does this automatically," says Etay Maor, fraud prevention solutions manager for Trusteer, an IBM company.
It's just one example of the trend in which criminals not only commit larger numbers of attacks, but rev up attack speed. The trend finds general agreement in the cybersecurity world. Says Christopher Pogue, director, Trustwave, "From the time it takes an attacker to perform reconnaissance that identifies a potential target, to the time it takes to breach that target, it's literally measured in seconds."
"We are certainly seeing an increase in the frequency of cyber attacks against banks," adds Michael Read, marketing and sales manager, ABA Insurance Services. "We see a general increase in the overall frequency of losses and reported claims dealing with cybersecurity." Not only that, he says, but "all banks are impacted by this. Cybercriminals are not just targeting the big banks out there. They are looking at and attacking the smaller community banks, as well."
The Deloitte Center for Financial Services recently issued a report concluding: "It is clear that the growth in cybercrime has continued, if not accelerated, in the financial services industry." It cites a data security study by Verizon that found in 2013, 88% of attacks initiated against financial services companies were successful in less than a day. More specifically, 46% were successful "within hours," 8% were successful "within minutes," and 34% were successful "within seconds." At the same time, only 21% of these attacks were detected within a day, and only 40% of those attack detections were restored within a day.
Joel Abramson, sales manager with Complete Data Products, provides this analogy: "While there are, of course, bank heists where attackers gain access to the bank's infrastructure and the attackers may take months circumventing safeguards and ensuring they can cover their tracks, it is much more likely and much more common that there will be stick ups where users are directly targeted."
"The question is whether today's industry can create a dynamic, intelligence-driven approach to cyber risk management not only to prevent, but also detect, respond to, and recover from the potential damage that results from these attacks," Deloitte notes in its report.
The consensus is that financial institutions need to speed up their detection and response systems even as they maintain the multilayered defenses they currently have.
The business of malware
It's worthwhile to understand the environment in which today's cyberhackers operate. It's not like it was just eight or so years ago, when a single person would create malicious code on his own, then would know where to host it, collect stolen credentials, and cash out the accounts.
"It's a total business now," says Maor. "Today, they have people who are experts in their own fields. You have people who know how to program malware. Then you have those people who know how to market it in the underground and how to contact people. And you have people who will sell you infrastructure to host your malware. Everything is kind of segregated, and you can hire and buy whatever you need."
At the same time, the malware people communicate with each other, trading notes on the latest defenses they've run up against, how they've gotten around them, and what they're working on next.
"This is predominantly Eastern Europe organized crime," says Pogue. "It has a very mature business process. There's a lot of money involved with this—well into the billions of dollars. Obviously that much money acts as a strong motivation for them not only to be effective, but to be efficient." The analogy to business breaks down in an important way, he says. "They don't have a legal department over their heads. They don't have project managers or program managers. They don't need to [do quality assurance on] their new releases until they achieve 100%. The new releases may be a bit buggy, but that's okay. They just need to release them as quickly as possible, because if they don't, they lose money."
DDoS as a diversion
Here's a crime scenario that, unfortunately, is becoming all too familiar: the "blended attack," as termed by Doug Johnson, ABA vice-president and senior advisor for risk management policy. "This would be the combination of a distributed denial-of-service attack against the bank, which is actually a diversion. They've set up customer compromises at the same time, such as through account takeovers or other means. They do a DDoS attack to take your eye off the ball when actually some of your customers are under attack," says Johnson.
"The example of DDoS attacks as a smoke screen for other more nefarious activities is a very good and actual example," agrees Vikram Bhat, principal and head, Financial Services/Cyber Risk Services, at Deloitte. "We used it as an example in a desk exercise we ran for a bank in preparing them for such types of things. It's not just about classical attacks. It's changing into how do you do multichannel attacks? How do you combine the human element into the attack as much as the electronic element? All of those factors together are what are changing the landscape, as well."
Security strikes back
It's true that every bank that's passed a risk management examination in the past few years has demonstrated both the existence and effectiveness of a multilayered system of defenses against digital and other criminals. As the nature and velocity of cyber attacks increase, however, those multilayered systems need to be constantly reexamined.
Says Bhat: "The reality in today's world is you cannot prevent all attacks. You need to be what we're calling 'secure, vigilant, resilient.' You need to be constantly vigilant internally, looking at your environment, and externally, looking at what's going on outside. You need to be able to react quickly."
"Criminals have multiple layers of security for their products, as well. They'll know how to overcome certain antiviruses, certain security solutions that are out there, and then build one on top of the other to overcome those layers," says IBM's Maor.
While Maor agrees that multiple layers of defense are needed, they must be constantly reevaluated in terms of being as close to real-time as possible, and to be as adaptable as possible. "Systems need to be built keeping in mind the fact that things constantly change. A static system won't cut it. If you have a static solution that's based on one detection method, as soon as the criminals discover it—and they will discover it—it's obsolete," he says.
Back to Deloitte's "secure, vigilant, resilient" approach, its report puts it this way: "Financial services firms have traditionally focused their investments on becoming secure. However, this approach is no longer adequate in the face of the rapidly changing threat landscape."
Predictive analytics and anomaly detection
One approach starting to take hold is the use of predictive analytics, behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, and other systems that automate analysis of large amounts of data. The advantage: the speed with which financial institutions can both detect and respond to incoming threats.
"Where we potentially have a gap is what we call endpoint protection," says Johnson. "That's about protecting the customer at the customer level. One of the things you do when you do that is make use of products that use behavioral analytics, as well." He adds: "One thing that behavioral analytics does is it learns. It learns what your standard behavior is, and gets better and better at predicting that if something that just happened is something that you would probably do. There is great promise in the future of using those kinds of things."
Maor agrees: "Big analytics is definitely the way you can handle so much information. It's behavioral analytics, and in some cases, predictive algorithms."
He gives this example of being able to correlate different events in order to detect a criminal attack that otherwise might not be detected: "Your computer gets infected with malware. I steal your credentials. I log in with your credentials from a new mobile device." A bank, says Maor, may not see that necessarily as evidence of fraud. But, he continues, "if you combine the information that your device was just infected by malware, and now [the bank] is seeing your credentials coming from a never-seen-before mobile device, with a Russian [internet protocol], then you can understand in almost real-time that that type of action doesn't make sense."
Complete Data Products' Abramson gives another example: "If a pattern is found during one attack, and a similar pattern is found in a different scenario, especially if that behavior is abnormal, one can easily guess that fraud is taking place. For instance, if a user commonly uses Amazon and eBay, but now the card is being used to purchase items in China, there is abnormal activity." Whoever has responsibility over that card can pursue various options, such as a call back to the legitimate owner or deactivating the card.
Another aspect of data analysis is the need to communicate quickly from one internal security system to another. A bank may employ various defense systems toward money laundering, check fraud, mobile security, online banking, and so forth.
"We're starting to develop information sharing between systems," says Maor. "You get a much better holistic approach to combating fraud because each of these vectors affects the others. We are going to see a lot more correlation between these systems, instead of having them siloed or as standalone systems."
"[The goal] really is to have good access to information very quickly. And not only have it, but be able to share it across siloes," says Bhat.
Of course, the criminals know about the increasing use of analytics, and are starting to respond in kind. Johnson remembers that when criminals first started doing account takeovers, they crudely went directly to the bill-pay area and inserted various bogus payee names, and the security systems allowed it because that's how they were programed. "With behavioral analytics and such, the security system would recognize that, as well as the velocity of transactional activity, as unusual. Now, what the criminals have learned is that they need to mimic human behavior," he says. For example, criminals would likely add fraudulent payees over time instead of all at once so that they are more likely to be accepted. It's a never-ending, high-stakes game.
Of the cost involved, Trustwave's Pogue observes, "When you look at the consequences experienced with a breach, it's really more of an investment than an expense."
Other information sharing
This gets to another emerging avenue of defense—one that's been around but is growing in importance—which is the voluntary and secure sharing of ongoing attack details and how they are defended against.
"External collaboration is an important tenet going forward," says Bhat. "An individual bank alone can deal with some threats but probably cannot deal with all the threats."
"Sharing information between banks is a very powerful thing," says Maor. "For example, say I'm the bad guy and I stole your credentials using malware, phishing, whatever. I took money out of your account at Bank A. Now, I go and attack Bank B. My device has already been identified as a criminal device at Bank A. When I go and attack Bank B, I can't access the account because [the two banks] have a shared tool of known criminal devices."
A forum for such information sharing is the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, of which ABA is a partner, and which counts as members many individual financial institutions. Members worldwide receive timely notification and data to help protect critical systems and assets from physical and cybersecurity threats.
Recently, FS-ISAC announced progress in an initiative to automate threat intelligence sharing for its members. "A first of its kind, this solution collects, analyzes, prioritizes, and shares threat information in near real-time within our sector," says Bill Nelson, president and CEO, FS-ISAC.
"The problem that we have is that we have so much information," says ABA's Johnson, who works closely with FS-ISAC. "We have a hard time to allocate time to analyze it. Being able to automate that analytical process is what some financial institutions allocated $3 million for," he adds, referring to money banks contributed to the initiative. The new automation system should be running "within the next few years," FS-ISAC said in an announcement.
Preventative steps to take now
Even as speeded up as defenses may be, they still suffer from the fact that something bad has to occur first. What can banks do—that they may not already be doing—before the bad guys strike?
Anthony Scarola, senior vice-president and information security officer at TowneBank, Suffolk, Va., recently addressed this during a session at ABA's National Conference for Community Bankers. He provided a checklist of questions top executives should ask information security teams regarding how prepared the bank is for cyber attacks. "This is a proactive approach. It doesn't consider what happens after the breach. It's preparing yourself for today's and tomorrow's threats," he said. Here's the list:
• What is our data? Associated questions include: Where does it reside? How valuable is it to the organization?
• Do we know the threats? Associated questions include: Are we staying on top of technology? Are we contemplating what those potential challenges may be as those new technologies come out?
• What is changing in our environment? Associated questions include: What is changing with our data? Do we have more or less data? Do we have more or fewer customers using our various systems? Who is staying on top of all these changes?
• How is our data protected today? Associated questions include: What controls and processes are in place? How is the data kept confidential? What access controls are in place? Are the controls working as intended?
• How are we managing risk? Associated questions include: How are we accepting, avoiding, or transferring risk?
• What needs to change in our environment? Associated questions include: What is not working? What do we need to do better?
• How often do we repeat this process? "Some systems may need to be looked at much more frequently. Others may not. It goes back to the true risk of the information you looked at and what the impact of a breach of that information would be [for] your institution," said Scarola.
This all returns to Deloitte's secure, vigilant, resilient approach, which is summarized this way:
• Being secure against known threats through risk-driven investment in foundational, preventive controls and policies.
• Being vigilant by improving the ability to detect emerging threats and anomalous patterns amid the highly complex and data-saturated environment.
• Being resilient to recover from attacks as quickly as possible and minimize both direct and indirect damages.

Hi All,
I bought a Canon 600D about 6 months ago, mostly for taking pictures of our new baby. I've experimented with the kit lens (18-55mm) that came with the camera and also bought an EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens as well. I've got some pretty decent shots out of these as a beginner as well.
I am wanting to start to take some better quality images and wondered if someone could point me in the right direction as to what would be the next lens I should move to. I am not certain if I need to add a zoom lens to my kit (we attended a christening this weekend and I missed a lot of the action from our position in the middle of the church). Alternatively, if not a zoom lens then perhaps a better quality version of what I already have?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Budget is circa £300 but could be stretched if there is a real gem out there
Many thanks

Workers are scheduled to conduct the minor overlay project on Wednesday and Thursday, April 24 and 25, near the road's 19-mile marker about a mile west of Adobe Canyon, according to Brian England, a road supervisor for the Stanislaus County Public Works Department. The stretch of road stands about 20 miles southwest of Patterson.
"We call it the narrows," England said of the area. "It's real narrow and high in there."
The road has suffered major erosion because of winter weather, England said. Road workers will lay about 100 to 200 tons of asphalt each day of the project.
England encouraged those who can avoid driving through that area to do so at that time, though he added that may be impossible for nearby residents.
"If you live up there, you probably can't avoid it," he said.

New GMO study with pigs is "hogwash"
A study published last week that aimed to expose the dangers of livestock eating genetically modified grain has failed to gain support from critics. Although the study claimed to be peer-reviewed, Mark Lynas, a British author, journalist and former anti-GM activist, exposed the many fallacies and errors in the study.
The new study focused on feeding pigs a diet of genetically modified grain. According to the study, these pigs had markedly higher stomach inflammation than pigs fed conventional grains. The study was conducted by Judy Carman and colleagues and published in a minor Australian journal called "Journal of Organic Systems." Sponsors of the journal include the Organic Federation of Australia.
Lynas points out that Carman is an anti-biotech campaigner and even has a website called GMOJudyCarman, which is supported by Gilles-Eric Séralini, the French scientist that published a study in the fall that was heavily criticized by the scientific community for the conclusion that GMO corn caused high levels of death in rats.
Lynas is also skeptical about the other co-author of the study, Howard Vlieger. On his blog, Lynas says, he "seems to have made some wild allegations about GMOs in the past" if his source is to be believed. Vlieger is president and co-founder of Verity Farms, a U.S. 'natural foods' outfit, which markets non-GMO grain. Despite this, the paper declares that the authors have no conflicts of interest, although it seems to me that he would have a very clear commercial interest in scaring people about GMOs in order to drum up business of his GMO-free offerings."
He also points out that the funding for the study came from Verity Farms and the Institute of Health and Environmental Research, an Australian not-for-profit, which seems to be dedicated to anti-GMO activism, according to Lynas.
Problems with the study include what the authors choose to say about the results and what the results actually show.
As with the Seralini study that showed pictures of rats with grotesque tumors, the Carman study shows photos of inflamed pigs stomachs. Photos of non-GM pigs stomachs were not shown when 38 of the non-GM pigs, more than half of the total of 73, were suffering moderate or severe inflammation. Lynas asks why those photos are not shown.
Lynas' conclusion is that "this study subjected animals to inhumanely poor conditions resulting in health impacts which can then be data-mined to present 'evidence' against GMO feeds. Most damning of all, close to 60% of both sets of pigs were suffering from pneumonia at the time of slaughter—another classic indicator of bad husbandry. Had they not been slaughtered, all these pigs might well have died quickly anyway. No conclusions can be drawn from this study, except for one—that there should be tighter controls on experiments performed on animals by anti-biotech campaigners, for the sake of animal welfare."

I'm reading alot of character attacks on the researchers and not alot of commentary on the actual study itself - seems to be the norm whenever research is done that does not shine a favorable light on the Bio-tech industry. Let's settle it once and for all - long term feeding studies of animals. Lets see it!
The problem with Luddites is they do not bother to read any scientific study themselves to draw their own conclusions.

Please read the full replies to Mark Lynas, Monsanto and other critics here regarding this study: http://gmojudycarman.org/category/critics-answered/ Please always have a two-sided story - otherwise your journalism credentials will be questioned.
I find it really odd that Mark Lynas, a writer with no scientific qualifications, is taken as some sort of authority on a toxicological pig feeding study that passed peer review. Lynas makes allegations about bad husbandry when the GM-fed and non-GM fed were kept in the same conditions and the death rates seem to have been the commercial average. Where's the logic of science in Lynas's arguments? The increase in severe stomach inflammation in the GM-fed pigs was statistically significant, quite independently of the photographs. I'd like to see Lynas argue the statistical facts with the authors of this paper, who have experts in statistics in their team. I would only add that it's a sad day for the GM industry if the best spokesperson they can come up with is an environmental writer who claims to have had some sort of religious conversion to 'science' when he appears to know nothing about the science around GMOs.
Mark Lynas is just one of many who have criticized this report. The science and academic community, and you don't have to look very hard - a couple of minutes on Google - has weighed in on the flaws of this study design and the authors interpretations of their findings. Veterinary and human health experts, toxicologists and plant scientists have published rebukes. Mark Lynas gets more headlines of course, but he's not standing alone here in claiming this was nothing more than junk science from an interested advocacy group funded by the organic industry with the intent of creating false fears over GMOs.
Silly luddites, why won't you believe us when we tell you this patented, commercialized laboratory product, with it's required petro-chemical herbicides and fertilizers, is exactly the same as the original species they were created from? Oh yeah, we also want to file for patent rights on this product, and we'd prefer that consumers remain unaware of the existence in this product in the food supply.
Ha,Ha, Awesome comment! Sums up their smug attitude perfectly!
The First Law of Nutrition: You are what you eat.
I must be broccoli, carrots, spinach and squash because I stopped considering meat a food ten years ago when I realized animals were capable of every human emotion. Today, at age 67, my doctor says my heart is perfect in structure and function. Works for me. I know how to avoid gmos and try to help others do the same.
Ok, I've been feeding GMO & Non GMO grain for several years to pigs. 1st with Non GMO - our death & cull rate has been 5.4% 2nd GMO Our death & cull rate has dropped to 2.1% So the pigs are healthier with Non GMO ? Is that why I have higher death & cull animals ? I don't think so. GMO produces better quality grain. Animals are HEALTHIER ! I am the expert ! Been raising hogs for 42 years. Today we only feed GMO grain. Our feed conversion is 2.48 pounds of feed per pound of gain for GMO. Conversion is 2.89 pounds of feed per pound of gain for Non GMO. I need to publish my feed trials
Brother-in-law's dad raised hogs to the age of 98. ate bacon & eggs every morning, Drove a pickup truck. Died the age of 98 by drunk driver. My grandma is living, she 's 97, she eats sausage & eggs every morning. My wife's mom is 96, She eats sausage & hash browns. still drives a car. A friend in town is 98. He said you got to have bacon & eggs for breakfast every morning. I can not name a single vegan that is that old. My mother-in-law was told she had a heart of a healthy 50 year old. Not bad for being 96.
The responses don't include the only significant criticism: bad statistics. The data is overtly cherry picked. By the same statistical practice, one can demonstrate that the GMO-fed pigs were protected from liver/heart abnormalities and pericarditis by a factor of 2. See Table 3 http://www.organic-systems.org/journal/81/8106.pdf
Actually, the statistics were done wrong. More inflammation was found in the control group than in the GMO-fed group!
Oh yeah. Well, I am also a PIG FARMER and my results are very different from yours ma'am. GMO grain made my pigs heads explode while the non-GMO grain made them more awesome. So, believe me because I am an expert that would never lie commenting on an article on the internet.
Thanks for the link. The responses clearly rebutted Lynas' comments. The "journalism" credentials of Colleen Scherer are already questioned by me. The lack of specific comments by Lynas made it clear this was an attempt to discredit the scientist that performed the study and not a factual critique of the study itself. I never would have repeated them without looking into the validity of Lynas' comments. But then again I don't suspect the author is a scientist or engineer, just someone trying to support GMO
what caused the death of the pigs? heart, lungs, what? then fix the corresponding mineral or nutritional deficiency in the feed. It is a known point that GMO foods rob the body of manganese. This is how Glyphosate kills weeds. Not to mention the Glyphosate and Bt-toxin genes found in intestinal flora continuing to produce these toxins. I heard a few years ago that the sausage industry quite buying pig intestine from GMO feed pigs because it would tear on the equipment during stuffing.
If you want to know the reality of vegetarianism find someone that started in their early twenties and see if they made it past 47. 27 years after converting is the average life expectancy of a true vegetarian. Oh a low salt and low good fat diet speeds this along. And of course vitamin D2 to replace D3 puts the icing on the cake.
Hi Mark. Can you please let me know where your end products are sold so I can be sure to steer clear of them?

Doctors Report Historic Transplant in Child
July 25, 2012 -- Ciaran Finn-Lynch is an accidental medical pioneer. With his life in danger, doctors used the 13-year-old's own stem cells to grow him a new windpipe, and they did it inside his body -- a feat that's never been accomplished before.
"It's a really heroic story," says Harald C. Ott, MD, an instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. "They really saved this kid's life."
Ott worked out some of the science that made the procedure possible but was not directly involved in Ciaran's treatment.
Two years after the surgery, doctors say Ciaran (pronounced KEER-an) is living the life of a normal teen. He's grown more than 4 inches and gone back to school. Best of all, he has no need for an expensive and complicated regimen of anti-rejection drugs.
What doctors are learning from his case could help thousands of children born each year with life-threatening birth defects.
An Urgent Medical Need Drives a Discovery
Ciaran was born with a windpipe so small and deformed that it caused his lungs to collapse.
Doctors managed to hold his airway open using metal tubes. But eventually the tubes eroded into his aorta, the large vessel that carries blood out of the heart. He was rushed to the hospital with massive bleeding. Twice.
The second time, the bleeding stopped on its own. That gave his doctors a small window of time to look for other options.
Two years earlier, scientists had devised a new way to create organs using a patient's own stem cells. Though the technique had only been tried in adults, they thought the same method might work for Ciaran.
Working quickly, his doctors located a trachea, or windpipe, removed from a 30-year-old Italian woman whose organs were donated after she died. The trachea was about the same size and shape needed to replace the deformed one that Ciaran was born with.
Scientists in Italy cleaned the organ of all its cells using a method discovered at Harvard Medical School. Working with a detergent found in shampoo, they were able to strip the cells away from the protein scaffold they grew on. It's a bit like remodeling a house by first tearing it down to the studs.
That step was important because it cleared away any markers that might have caused Ciaran's immune system to reject the transplant.
Back at Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's hospital in London, doctors removed stem cells from Ciaran's bone marrow. Stem cells are uniquely flexible cells that can be coaxed to grow into nearly any kind of tissue. The cells were sent to a specialized lab to be purified and returned to the hospital the same day.
After surgeons sewed the stripped-down donor windpipe in Ciaran's chest, they coated it with his purified stem cells. They also injected the tissue scaffold with proteins that encourage cell growth. For good measure, they took tissue samples from Ciaran's own trachea and placed those inside the tube of the windpipe with the stem cells. The tissue samples acted like blueprints, giving the stem cells instructions for what they should become.

Star Lanes at the Harbor holds first Youth Scholarship Tournament
- Published in Around Ottawa County
Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton held their first Youth Scholarship Tournament
Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton held their first Youth Scholarship Tournament
Jeff and John Lizzi, or Jeff/John as the identical twins are often known, have purchased the former Harbor Lanes on Buckeye Boulevard in Port Clinton. Along with manager Kevin Frantz, the team brings energy, experience and vision to what will now be known as Star Lanes at The Harbor.
Jeff and John's grandmother built Star Lanes in Sandusky and it has been operated by their family ever since. The Lizzis' plans are to first work on the mechanical aspects, upgrading the lanes, pinsetters and machinery, and making sure it meets their standards of cleanliness, "following in our grandmother's footsteps." Those footsteps include disinfecting shoes after each use and other high standards of cleanliness.
