Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Gordon Hayward scored 27 points and the Utah Jazz put forth a strong fourth quarter to rally for a 100-94 victory over the badly slumping Dallas Mavericks at EnergySolutions Arena.
The Jazz outscored Dallas by a 26-14 margin in the final stanza to erase an eight-point deficit early in the period and notch their third win in four games, while dealing the spiraling Mavericks a third straight loss and 12th setback in their last 14 outings.
Al Jefferson amassed 15 points and 11 rebounds to aid the Utah comeback, with Paul Millsap adding 14 points and nine boards and Alec Burks netting eight of his 13 points during the fourth-quarter surge.
We stayed together and didn't put our head down when things weren't going our way and most importantly, we got stops," said Jefferson.
Dirk Nowitzki recorded 20 points in Dallas' latest defeat, while Chris Kaman registered 14 points and nine rebounds and Elton Brand delivered an 11-point, nine-board effort off the bench.
The Jazz were down 82-74 after Nowitzki buried a jumper to begin the fourth quarter and trailed by six midway through the session, but ripped off 13 consecutive points to move in front to stay.
A Burks 3-pointer with 4:35 left tied it at 86-86, and Hayward followed with a steal and layup on the subsequent possession before later ending Utah's pivotal run with a 24-foot trey that staked the Jazz to a 93-86 advantage at the 2:19 mark.
"I thought our defense picked it up, we got our hands on a lot of balls," said Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin. "As a result when we got down the floor, we played with the right sense of urgency, we got the ball to the right guy."
Dallas would close within three on two occasions down the stretch, with two Nowitzki free throws making the score 95-92 with 52.3 seconds to go. The Mavericks came up empty on their next two trips down the court, however, and the Jazz scored the next four points from the charity stripe to seal the outcome.
"We're playing much better; we just can't close out the game," Brand remarked. "The last few games have been ours, to be honest. We lost them ourselves. Give the other teams credit of course, but we had leads in the fourth (quarter) and opportunities."
The Mavs ended an otherwise evenly played opening quarter on a 9-2 run to grab a 26-19 lead, but Utah scored eight of the first nine points of the second and forged a 27-27 tie on a Hayward triple less than two minutes into the period. Neither team was ahead by more than five points over the remainder of the first half, with the Jazz knotting the score at 53-53 at the break when Marvin Williams knocked down a trey with 1.3 seconds left.
The Jazz shot just 39 percent over the initial two quarters, but made 6-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc to stay in it. Hayward went 3-of-4 from long distance as part of an 18-point performance.
Utah finished the game a sharp 10-of-19 from 3-point range.
The lead would change seven times during the third quarter, the last of which came when Vince Carter was fouled on a successful layup and converted the bonus shot to give Dallas a 71-69 edge with 3:17 remaining in the frame. That ignited a 10-1 Mavs' surge capped by Nowitzki's 3-pointer that put the visitors up by a 78-70 count.
Dallas fell to 18-58 all-time on the road against the Jazz, which includes a
113-94 loss in Salt Lake City in the Oct. 31 season opener ... Nowitzki went
7-of-14 from the floor and now has 8,468 career field goals, moving him past
Allen Iverson (8,467) for 23rd place on the NBA's all-time list in that
category ... The Mavericks lost for only the fourth time in 16 games this
season when leading after three quarters ... Utah improved to 7-1 on the
season when Jefferson and Millsap combine for 20 or more rebounds ... Jazz
center Enes Kanter returned from a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle
and had six points in 15 minutes.

En español | A widening waistline is often the curse of middle age — and not just because it can be unsightly.
Those who store fat in their bellies are at higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers.
And unfortunately, that's most of us. In the United States, more than 50 percent of men and 70 percent of women between ages 50 and 79 now have a condition as "abdominal obesity."
Your expanding middle carries two kinds of fat — subcutaneous fat you can see and pinch, and visceral fat, which surrounds the abdominal organs deep inside the body. Subcutaneous fat, which also is carried in the hips, thighs, arms and legs, may be unwanted, but it's not particularly dangerous.
Actively hazardous
Visceral, or belly, fat, on the other hand, is hazardous to your health. Numerous studies show a link between a large waist and a higher risk of death — even among people who aren't overweight. In fact, researchers now say your waist size, which generally reflects the amount of visceral fat you carry, may be a better predictor of disease than your BMI (body mass index).
"It's location, location, location that matters," in real estate, and that goes for fat, too, says Philipp Scherer, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Until recently, scientists thought fat cells were simply storage units for excess calories. But researchers now consider visceral fat an active organ, like the liver or pancreas. "Our views of fat have changed over the last 15 years," says Scherer.
Visceral fat actually secretes hormones and lipids — such as triglycerides — that are harmful to the body, says David Cummings, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Washington Medical School. It impairs the body's ability to use insulin, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. And it triggers the inflammation that can cause heart disease. Cummings says women's risk of heart disease rises after menopause to the level of men's because that's when women begin to accumulate belly fat.
There's also strong evidence visceral fat may cause colon cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Moreover, this dangerous fat is associated with a higher risk of rectal, pancreatic, endometrial and postmenopausal breast cancer.
Recent studies also have linked belly fat to poor brain health.
So how do you lose belly fat? Experts say there is no magic formula, but it can be done, and it's not as difficult as you might think. When you use the classic combination of diet and exercise, visceral fat often goes away first.
Forget crunches
Workout videos and glossy magazines promise that crunches, sit-ups and other abdominal exercises will banish belly fat. Not so, says Colleen Doyle, director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society. These exercises will tone and strengthen abdominal muscles, but they won't melt away the fat. " You can't spot-reduce," says Doyle, who recommends finding a physical activity you enjoy and doing it regularly — whether it's walking, or playing tennis.
And a note to smokers: Beware of trying to control your appetite and weight through smoking. Swiss researchers have reported that smoking actually causes people to redistribute their weight to the belly area.
Next: Which diet is best? »

Errol Morris Overview
Errol Morris may be always be known as the man who inspired director Warner Herzog to eat his own shoe, but the storied career of the Academy Award winning documentarian has done its own part to establish him as an artist who can surely walk on his own two feet.
Born in New York in 1948, Morris first studied the art of music under the direction of Philip Glass' tutor (a peer who would later score Morris' films The Thin Blue Line, A Brief History of Time, and The Fog of War). After later partaking in a variety of studies including history, science, and philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Princeton, and Berkeley, Morris found himself unstimulated and instead turned to the world of film. But, he would only discover film to be his true calling after a return visit to Wisconsin in 1975 where he was granted an interview with serial killer Ed Gein who resided at the state hospital in Madison.
After being introduced to German director Warner Herzog through a mutual friend, the two made plans that summer to secretly open the grave of Gein's mother to test their belief that the killer had already dug her up. Although Herzog arrived ready for the undertaking, Morris never showed and the project was scrapped. After several other script starts that ended with the same result, Morris became known for abandoning his projects, thereby causing Herzog to declare that he would eat his own shoe if his friend ever completed and screened a film. That film was 1978's Gates of Heaven, a morose look at the pet cemetery business which Roger Ebert's named as one of his top ten favorite films of all time. Told strictly through interview and void of narrative, it became Morris' trademark style and also introduced his thematic obsession with stories of murder and death, as odd and mysterious as their subjects. It also introduced his self-crafted tool, branded by Morris's wife as the "Interrotron" because it skillfully combined two elements – terror and interview.
Similar to a teleprompter, Morris and his subject each sit facing a camera while the images of the other person's face are projected onto the lens so each is looking directly at a human face, thereby provoking the interviewee to express themselves in open monologue. The tool would later be used on numerous follow-up works, including Vernon, Florida (1981), The Thin Blue Line (1988), The Dark Wind (1991), A Brief History of Time (1991), Fast, Cheap and Out of Control (1997), Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. (1999), the Academy Award winning The Fog of War (2003), and most recently, Standard Operating Procedure (2008).
One of his earlier films, The Thin Blue Line, became Morris's most famous work because it became a central figure in getting its subject, Randall Adams, out of his prison sentence. Although it was one of the critics' top picks that year and to this day one of the most critically acclaimed documentaries ever made, it was shockingly not nominated for an Oscar which provoked controversy regarding the nomination practices of the Academy.
In 2002, tensions were eased as the Academy hired Errol to make a short film with famous icons, from Iggy Pop to Laura Bush, discussing notable movies. In 2007, Morris was asked to create a second short with that year's nominees. In addition to films, Morris also is an accomplished director of television commercials including the popular Apple Switch campaign, as well as work for an impressive portfolio of clients including Adidas, AIG, Cisco Systems, Citibank, Levi's, Miller High Life, Nike, PBS, The Quaker Oats Company, Southern Comfort, Toyota and Volkswagen.[show less]

These biscuits are quite good—light, fluffy, and tender—but just a smidge short of the biscuit nirvana I'm searching for. I will try making them again but topping them with butter.
I do think that the people who rated this recipe poorly likely used all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour; self-rising flour contains both baking powder and salt, and a biscuit without salt would truly be wretched. If you don't have self-rising flour (as I didn't), use four cups of all-purpose flour, two teaspoons of salt, and two teaspoons of baking powder (in addition to the tablespoon that's already called for).
These biscuits turned out very tender and flaky, but not very tasty, they needed salt and maybe baking soda. My husband and I thought they tasted more like rolls than biscuits. I don't think I'll make these again.

I used to bake biscuits for a fast food restaurant and I have some tips for those of you that have never made biscuits or that are struggling to get them right. 1. Never over-work your dough. Mix it only as much as you absolutely have to or it will be tough. 2. Don't add too much flour! flour can be affected greatly by the humidity in the air so what works today may not work tomorrow. Biscuit dough should NOT be easy to work with, it will be pretty sticky. If you add enough flour so that it is easy to work with your biscuits will be dry. 3. Your shortening should be left in small chunks (about the size of a pea) so that your biscuits will be flaky. You can substitute a little butter for part of the shortening to give a richer flavor but your biscuits won't raise as well. 4. Roll your biscuits to at least 1/2 in thickness (or more) to have nice high biscuits. When you cut them push straight down and straight back up. Twisting the cutter will cause your biscuits to raise unevenly. This is a good biscuit recipe, flaky and delicious but I'm still looking for the perfect flavor.
Great biscuits - easy to make, fluffy, and delicious! I cut the recipe in half, upped the sugar to 1 Tbsp. and used butter flavored shortening. I let the dough set in the fridge for a couple of hours to ensure the biscuits would rise high. I rolled out the dough on a lightly floured surface, cut out the biscuits and placed them onto parchment paper to bake. Instead of buttermilk, I brushed the tops with melted butter. These smell great and taste even better. What's great is the leftovers are perfect with breakfast the next day!
Great! The reviewer who wrote the tip about using all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour was right on! That review said to use 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder (in addition to the tablespoon that's already called for). That was perfect! I had some guesswork with the temperature though. I have dark, non-stick pans, which means that you lower the oven temperature 25 degrees, so I set it to 375. The biscuits got VERY dark on the bottoms (almost burned), but the insides were still doughy. On the second pan, I used parchment paper on the bottom of the pan, then raised the temperature to what the recipe called for - 400 degrees. Perfect! The bottoms weren't burned, and the dough was fine. Thanks for the recipe!
All I can say about these are "WONDERFUL!" I had been looking for a recipe that tasted like old fashioned biscuits and this was it. The only thing I changed was brushing the tops with butter instead of buttermilk. We loved the buttery salty taste on top of the biscuits. These rose beautifully. Looked like the ones on TV. Picture and taste perfect. OH and these freeze great! I tested them. I got to the cut dough part and froze individually on a sheet and put in bag. Then when I wanted a couple I just put directly in oven and baked as instructed. Yum!!!!
Thank Sandra for posting this recipe.
Sherry from Tennessee
These biscuits are delicious! I've tried many recipes to find the perfect texture and
these are the ones! I used heavy cream instead of buttermilk. I also let them sit on the
sheet pan for about a half hour before baking and that caused them to puff a little
and rise very nicely when baked. Definitely a keeper.
These biscuits are GREAT! The only complaint I have is how sticky the dough is at the final stage. It was just a little difficult to roll out. I had to consistently sprinkle flour to keep from sticking. Other then that little problem .. they are FANTASTIC! To keep them moist ... they must be placed immediately after cooling in a storage container. :)

If light photons have no mass, then how can gravity affect them? i.e., being pulled into a black hole.
Perhaps light, from its source, follows the curvature of space-time as created by gravitational objects such as stars and black holes.
Dec 19 2012: We should figure out how gravity and light actually work first. Doesnt that make more sense? But ultimately science is based on assumptions. Look up for your self how we measure light, you might find it interesting that it is based on one of the worlds largest assumptions
Dec 19 2012: Maybe you'll enjoy listening to this guy
Dec 19 2012: you know it based on the assumption that everything rotates in a circle and not an eclipse right? Light takes the same amount of time to travel no matter what distance it travels
check out this video
I can provide scientific proof that most of science is based on assumptions
Dec 19 2012: Re: "I can provide scientific proof that most of science is based on assumptions."
You assume you can...Dec 19 2012: Thanks for the links but i am currently on a very slow connection and having difficulties with downloading the videos. I'll watch them later.
Re : most of science is based on assumptions
I have no doubt :), but it would be very interesting to hear the scientific proof .
Thanks !Dec 19 2012: And the best thing about science is even scientist will admit that everything is a theory and can always be proven wrong....
Dec 19 2012: Perhaps, you didn't say it right. I have learned from experience to avoid phrases like "everything... can always...". The first thing that can be proven wrong is a statement like this.
Carl Popper said that unfalsifiable theories (i.e. such that cannot be proven wrong in principle) are bad theories and have no place in science. In this sense, you are right. I wouldn't say, however, that any theory can always be proven wrong. Not any and not always. Only if we are lucky to have evidence and technology to discover it.
"We can't all, and some of us don't" -- Eeyore.Dec 19 2012: RE: the Buddha comment: Mr. Christofaris, the contents of the link Ms. Niikulina provided is the subject of my comment. It was addressed to her.Dec 19 2012: Arkady,
what is 'wrong' with science is its doctrine of objectivity , which until recently has been holy in this enterprise.
And objectivity can be viewed as assumption on previously achieved assumptions.
I am very interested in what Casey is/was about to say.Dec 19 2012: Far out man! So, did Buddha understand, and explain to us, light and time? Someone should have stumbled upon that gem long ago.
Dec 19 2012: I dont know what you mean about buddha?Dec 19 2012: I Ching is even older :)Dec 19 2012: Oddly enough, everything the hippie in the video says are scientific facts, not religious or philosophical blibber-blubber. Forget about the question, why photons are not affected by gravity. One can say that they simply move in a space warped by mass. But how can we say that photons "move" if from photon's perspective, time does not exist?! Photon's clock does not change! And if photon's clock does not change, a photon cannot change its position in space with time too... Which means MBR radiation does not come from "deep space" as an echo of big bang that happened 13.7bln years ago. From photon's perspective, MBR radiation is here and now. And the big bang is not something that happened somewhere 13.7 bln years ago. Big bang is also here and now. It's not even "happening" which implies some development in time. It, simply, *IS* here and now, along with everything else that ever was and will be...
Oh, and, by the way, if space and time do not exist in photon's world, what exactly is photon frequency and wave length?
Scientists seem to have hard time explaining what time is
When scientists say that religion does not make sense, it reminds me of that joke about a kid peeping into his parent's bedroom and saying "And these are the people who won't let me pick my nose!".
Dec 19 2012: Congratulations, Arkady ! :)
You sound like Einstein who ask the child -like question :
How does the time look from the crest of a light wave ?
The answer is that , at the speed of light, time stops.
So... non-material consciousness riding a light wave would see the whole of the past simultaneously with the whole of the future.
To such a mind there would be no before and no after , only an undivided now. If it is not what can be called God, i don't know what it is, but it has little to do with religions OMHO : )Dec 20 2012: Edgar Casey said, " Time is an illusion. Everything happens at once."Dec 19 2012: OK. But, again, did Buddha or I Ching explain light and time?
Dec 19 2012: In the video there is a quote :" nothing has independent existence from everything else " ( sounds quite quantum mechanical :) )
It is the answer to your question; Buddhism doesn't dissect reality , which is the illusion of the human mind into parts like time space light ..etc.
As far as i understand Buddhism doesn't care to explain anything , it's scientific 'faustinian' claim :) It teaches how to deal with illusion ( Maya ) And language, the very tool we are using now is the weaver of illusion.
I Ching ' studied ' time as if consists of elements and achieved much more accurate and applicable understanding of time (or dynamics within time ) as we have now.
But i am not an expert, really , almighty Google help you , if you are interested : )
Best to you !Dec 20 2012: Re: "Arkady, what is 'wrong' with science is its doctrine of objectivity , which until recently has been holy in this enterprise."
It's wrong for me to say it, but I've also learned that it's wrong to think of things as "wrong" or "right". "Do not judge..." If you know what I mean... :-)... But I agree with you.Dec 20 2012: Hey Casey,
We possibly found a new issue to disagree upon!
The ONLY assumption science makes is that "We can percieve reality". All of science is based upon "describing the reality". Then this leads to a theory which "describes reality as closely as possible".
Then there are a few options from there.
1) We discover a new place where the theory should apply. But it fails. Then the theory is falsified. Which will result in scientists trying to come up with a different theory which is accurate in more cases.
(this happened with Newton gravity laws when we realised that our solar system revolves around the sun and that some 'stars' are actually planets)
2) We discover a new place where the theory should apply and it does! The theory gains probability of being correct.
(This happened in 1919 when Einstein's theory correctfully predicted how much light would be bent by... and many more times after that as well)
3) Some other scientist comes up with another theory for the same phenomenon and both seem to hold in the same cases where the rule is correct. (This somewhat happens with String theory... but I must confess that I am unsure how accurately this statement is... it is however also what Einstein did to Newton)
So basically scientific theory describes all of reality as far as we know it! (So the assumption is that our perception of reality is accurate)
To say however that theory is true is stupid because we can never(!) know if we know (or can even percieve) all of reality.
Also to say that you can prove a theory to be false is stupid because you would have to find an occurence in nature where the theory does not hold up. And science only accepts a theory as valid when ALL KNOWN occurances are accurately described.
So you HAVE to find an, up till now, unknown occurance of where the theory should apply AND on top of that it has to be one where the theory fails!
Good luck!Dec 19 2012: I'm not sure why people use the word time as if time is a universal element. Time is merely the measurement of progression or developments in the universe. Time has no meaning outside of these measurements. No mass in the universe uses time to regulate itself or influence anything around it.
You can either say time or measurement of development. I don't know how a black hole has anything to do with time but it seems scientists love speaking about time. When something moves in the universe is the result of consequence. Matter will only react to other matter and specified laws of the universe. Therefore, time, or the process in which matter moves, changes forms, or is somehow manipulated, is merely a way for humans to monitor development and relate that development to an understandable scale.
Light is a wave so it may be manipulated by objects in its path. However, to say that time is warped really just means your perception is warped. Light, matter, and everything else in the universe follows laws. When object a comes into contact with object b both objects combine their laws and the results can be calculated to a T every time.
The only random aspects of the universe artist ones we don't understand. I don't think time plays a part like many believe. I think the use of time is just a misunderstanding of how things really work.

Linda Taylor
Dec 19 2012: When I went to school many years ago, I learned it like Lejan states. But since that time there has been much work on space-time. I am no theoretical physicist and they can probably explain this better but this is how I understand it in my rudimentary way.
- +1
Gravity has a exertional force on space-time. It can bend it. So when light goes past a super massive object, it appears to bend its course. But from the beam of lights perspective, it has been going in a straight line the whole time. Think about this like a person walking in a straight line until they walk all the way around the earth. They completed a circle but by their perspective they walked a straight line. Gravity kept them on earth and they completed a circle.
So gravity bends space-time but the light has been going straight the entire time. What happens in a black hole is that the gravity is so great, that space-time has been bent completely around it. Like a cocoon if you will. So when something that has mass that gives off light falls into a black hole, it still has mass and is giving off light in a different configuration of space-time than the one we live in, effectively causing us not to see it any more once a star passes the event horizon.
That is how I understand it. But there are other ways of looking at it...
Dec 19 2012: Hi Linda,
what you describe is what Albert Einstein proposed in 1915 in his theory of general relativity, and as much as I know, this theory has withstood every 'test' ever since. Physicist have not yet measured the mass of a photon, but they calculate its upper limit it can possibly have, which is precise enough to calculate the existing 'radiation pressure' in our good old Newtonian universe... :o)
I have no current update how string theory is doing on its way to combine general relativity with quantum mechanics and just recall it got stuck somewhere on its way of just another view years to have them finally united. So if a string theorists out there could help us out in EASY explanations and WITHOUT any formulas, it would be very helpful ... :o)Dec 19 2012: Is the definition of a straight line still; "the shortest distance between two points"?
Dec 19 2012: The shortest distance between two points as a straight line only works in 2-D. On earth, the shortest distance between two points is a curved line. That's why flight plans look curved on a map. Pilots can explain that better than I can.
Dec 19 2012: no it's not... the lines are curved on a flight plan because they are straight lines drawn on a round object (earth). Which is 'flattened out' to make a map.Dec 19 2012: Using an X-Y-Z coordinate system to define locations for two points is a 3-D exercise. If the two points have dissimilar Z coordinates then the shortest line that can be drawn between them is, by definition, a straight line. The shortest distance between Moscow and Albuquerque is through the Earth. I think the definition of a straight line applies universally. A photon traveling from a star to Earth either will, or will not, be affected by the gravity of masses it passes (cool rhyme). If it is unaffected by those masses it will travel in a straight line. If it is affected then its trajactory will not be a straight line. Am I wrong? Thanks!Dec 19 2012: Sorry, Richard, Ed,
In Euclidean geometry, a straight line between two distant points on earth would be THROUGH the earth.
Look it up. Do the math.
Dec 19 2012: Through the Earth is what I said 4 hours ago. We are not talking about the best possible air route, which is called a GEODETIC. We are talking about the definition of a STRAIGHT LINE, which is the shortest distance between two points. Thank you!Dec 19 2012: Hello Linda,
Ehm you are somewhat right on that but it's not what I said.
I said a flightplans are "straight lines drawn on a round object". So they can't go through the earth as they are 'on the surface'.
Also they are not straight in the mathematical sense of being straight in all dimensions. They are straight in the linguistic sense of the word that you can get from point A to point B while only going in "a straight line" nobody talks in x,y,z coordinates.
But you seem confused about something. Namely: "The shortest distance between two points as a straight line only works in 2-D."
This is false.
The shortest distance from Amsterdam to New York would be through the earth! And there is no distance shorter than the straight line (where in this discussion I should actually place an if but that will make it too hard for you to see which point I'm trying to make).
So in 3d the shortest way to get somewhere is still a straight line. But if you place an object within that space where you have to "go around" then obviously you can't go through it.
The "great-circle distance" just describes how you can best move across a sphere which is not the same as in 3D (as there are no given objects in a "3D space").Dec 19 2012: Yes Ed. But the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is a curved line. Which was what I was saying. The distance through the earth has no practical application unless you are a neutrino.
Dec 19 2012: No, I am a Baptist! Anyway, does a photon travel on the surface of a sphere while hurtling through space? I don't think so. I think it travels in a straight line IF not acted upon by an external force.Dec 19 2012: Hmm. Interesting question. Since we know that light waves can be bent and they can bounce off stuff maybe there should be an answer to your question.
We use mass to change trajectory of spacecraft which also has the effect of acceleration. So if we are effecting both the mass and the acceleration of the particles, perhaps it holds true that the shortest distance between two points is a curved line.
Kinda like taking the express way home vs. the direct route through the neighborhoods.Dec 20 2012: Gravity doesn't directly affect light. Strong gravity curves space-time so from our perspective the light travels a curved path, but if we were in the same location as the light it would appear that the path was straight, If you paddle a canoe past a whirlpool your path is curved by the whirlpool even though you are paddling in a straight line. The whirlpool has no direct effect on your canoe but it curves the water through which you are moving
Dec 20 2012: If you look at it from GR, gravity doesn't directly affect anything, but make no mistake: photons are nothing special to the force of gravity, since photons have energy and that's all that gravity cares about. To further illustrate this point a photon will actually exert a gravitational pull on other matter, including other photons.
Dec 20 2012: I was trying to keep it simple but from a standard model-quantum mechanics stand point photons have no mass or they wouldn't be able to travel at "c". I've never seen any experimental results that indicate two photons interacting due to gravity.
Dec 20 2012: "I've never seen any experimental results that indicate two photons interacting due to gravity."
Well, they do: it's used in models of the very early universe.Dec 19 2012: "If light photons have no mass, then how can gravity affect them? i.e., being pulled into a black hole."
Gravity couples to energy, that energy can be "bottled up" in mass, but it doesn't have to be, it can also be "bottled up" in momentum ( E=sqrt[M^2c^4 + p^2c^2], where M is the mass, c is the speed of light and p is the momentum). Photons have energy and thus they react to gravity. All elementary particles have energy that allows them to heat or move something they hit, but not all of them have the additional form of energy that we call mass and is caused by the Higgs mechanism (you can easily distinguish the two kinds because particles without mass always travel at the speed of light while particles with mass can never reach the speed of light). Gravity does not distinguish between forms of energy so it acts on all particles, even the ones that don't have some of their energy bottled up in mass.
Alternatively you can look at it from the viewpoint of general relativity where gravity is a warping of a patch of space-time and everything that exists within that patch of space-time will feel the effects of the warping.
Dec 19 2012: c - could not possibly be the measurement of what the speed of light is
Qab Dqab
Dec 20 2012: Why not?Dec 20 2012: I get it. That's how light can push a solar sail . Maybe light is helping to push the galaxies apart from every direction. The ones not linked by gravity.Dec 19 2012: The official answer (strictly following Einstein's General Relativity (GR)):
- 0
Gravity warps the shape of space-time. That is, it 'pulls in' both the shape of space, AND it 'pulls in' the shape of time. Mass or no mass, EVERYTHING is affected by TIME.
Newtonian physics can be used to predict light curvature under gravity where a = GM/r^2 (a = acceleration)
This effect can be understood to be the warping of time around a massive object, thus providing an acceleration.
When Einstein came up with his GR theory it was used to predict the curvature of distant starlight around the sun during an eclipse in 1919 (I think). Everyone expected the sunlight to curve (even Newtonian physicists), but the question was 'by how much will the light curve?'. In fact the light curved by almost exactly twice the amount predicted by standard (at the time Newtonian) physics, showing that (according to GR) its curvature was affected by a curvature in both the shape of time (Newtonian) AND the shape of space (GR).
My version:
It is not space that is warped at all, space, or nothingness, cannot change its non-existent shape. If we say that space is shaped, then all we can really be saying is that our rulers are measuring an effect which LOOKS LIKE space is shaped.
On the other hand, time exists, everyone experiences it all the time, it is a real thing. So it is time that is warped by twice as much as Newtonian physics predicted. Half of this warping of time is interpreted as the warping of space in Einstein's GR.
Dec 19 2012: Light = Time?
Dec 19 2012: Nope, light is light.
Which is something we're unsure of what it is (best guess is an energetic wave which when interacted with could turn into a particle).
We know however that (whatever it is) when emitted travels 299 792 458 meter away from it's source in 1 second.
There might be a correlation to time which we do not know yet though.
Dec 19 2012: Based on the vocabulary--"unsure"; "guess"; "could"; "might be"; "we do not know"-- It looks like the answer to the OP is some years away. I'm hoping Mr. Shaw answers my question. Thanks!Dec 19 2012: it's fine with me that you want an answe from shaw, but the "We know however that (whatever it is) when emitted travels 299 792 458 meter away from it's source in 1 second." is not a line which is questionable."
This already means that light is not equal to time. For instance putting more lights on the same area won't influence the time there.
The rest of my post is though.. as that is the current scientific view (at least up till the 2000's and I haven't read any "ground breaking quantum mechanics" newsreports so I have reason to believe the rest stilll is the current scientific view.)Dec 19 2012: affected by a curvature in both the shape of time (Newtonian) AND the shape of space (GR).
Ehhh isn't Einstein saying that "how fast time flows is related to the shape of space"?
He has the "space-time continuum" right? Which means that you cannot actually seperate time from space as they are somehow dependant upon eachother (or both are similarly related to something else).
If I'm wrong then please correct me :)Dec 19 2012: The definition of light photons states, that their 'rest mass' is zero, not their mass in motion, which, preferably to them, is light speed.
And because there are no 'resting' photons, their moving mass differs slightly from zero due to their tremendous speed, which is just another scale of their energy, according to E=mc^2.
300 million photons, depending on their color and therefore frequency, have approximately the same mass as a single proton or neutron. The overall mass of photons which reach earth adds up to about 168 metric tons on a SINGLE day, yet it dissipates as energy and does not add to the mass of our planet itself.
This tiny mass of a single and moving photon is enough to be influenced by intensive gravity fields which black holes and massive stars are capable of, and that's why it gets either bend or finally 'trapped' by it, depending on its trajectory and approaching distance and the intensity of the gravitational force.
This property of light has already been put into practice for trajectory corrections of the Messenger probes which reached Mercury in 2011. This and similar applications are called 'solar, light or photon sails' in space technology as they use the 'radiation pressure' of photons such as a regular sail uses the current flow of the wind.
You can find more details about it on Wikipedia:
Dec 19 2012: E=Mc^2 only applies to particles with mass and at rest, E=sqrt[M^2c^4 + p^2c^2] applies to moving particles with mass and E=pc apples to photons. Photons do not have any mass whatsoever, not even a tiny bit. The difference between a photon and the neutrino, a particle with a tiny mass is stark: photons always travel at the speed of light, neutrinos can never reach this speed (nothing with mass can).Dec 19 2012: There are two key words in your query: "If", and "how". Indeed, IF gravity acts upon light (waves or particles) then it does not matter (no pun intended) if light has mass, unless we knew for a fact that gravity cannot exert force on energy, which we don't. So, because there are two variables I can't answer your question. Either, 1) light has mass and gravity affects it; or, 2) it has no mass and gravity affects it; or, 3) it has mass and gravity does not affect it; or, 4) it does not have mass and gravity does not affect it. Let us know if you find a unifying theory for quanta and gravity.
Dec 19 2012: Go for 1) and you are fine... ;o)
Dec 19 2012: Have 2, 3, and 4 been scientifically falsified?
Dec 19 2012: 3 and 4 kinda have been. As light is affected by gravitational forces.
Ofcourse here it becomes somewhat debatable as to if you should still call the force gravity or something else... and we ofcourse cannot be sure if it's gravity that 'pulls it in' or a force which is linearly related to gravity. (aka gravity creates (or is created by) an effect which causes light to bend)Dec 19 2012: Grvity couples to all forms of energy, this is why a massless particle is still influenced by gravity.

Country Joe McDonald's Tribute to
"The pioneers of one generation are forgotten when their work has passed into the accepted doctrine and practice of another." -- Edward Cook, Florence Nightingale
n the 12th of May, 1820, in the city of Florence, Italy, Frances Nightingale gave birth to her second child. Another girl. In honor of the city of her birth and in keeping with the tradition started by her parents, the little girl was named Florence. An unusual thing to do in a conservative time. This little girl was to bear no children of her own but to become perhaps the most famous woman of all time and give birth to the profession of nursing as we know it today. In response to a call from God to nurse the sick poor she was to turn her back on love, wealth, society and comfort the likes of which few will ever know to single handed champion a new direction for women of the world and health of all its citizens. This was not to be an easy task.
It was to be a difficult birth full of anxiety bordering on insanity; frustrations few could endure, loneliness and physical and mental pain that would have killed a regular person. She wandered in her own wilderness. Most often alone and misunderstood by her mother and sister and those around her. Growing up in a world of golf courses and servants and grandeur, royalty, operas and luxury, she taught herself the art of nursing and the knowledge of hospitals. In an age where the smell of a hospital would induce nausea and nurses were typically whores and drunks she aspired to be one. Her mother and sister fainted and were thrown into hysterics and near insanity by her ambitions ... but she continued on, becoming the one and only expert on the subject of nursing and hospitals in all of Europe by the age of 30.
It was not until the age of 33 that she dressed herself and did her own hair. The family house in Hampshire had 70 gardeners. The girls were presented to Queen Victoria at the ages of 17 and 16 years. She was to prove that the patients in London hospitals died at a rate of 90% while those sick that did not go to hospital died at a rate of 60%. She had one and only one desire and that was to nurse.
She lived a long and wondrous life of 90 years. Through the Victorian age into the age of electricity and biology. From darkness into light. From a tortured secret life of sorrow and almost madness she emerged as a war hero and leader of a society of women that spans the world over to this day. She predicted her own fate ... that some day she would be "nothing but a name" ... FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE … but that her works would live on forever.

hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Wow. Over Atkins? One of the few times I find myself disagreeing with you Hoops.
meltons the prototype interior pass rusher in a 43 if you ask me...
A lot of the guys you listed are defensive players. Statistically the Pats defense have ranked 11th (2009), 25th (2010), 31st (2011) and 25th (this year)...if you're really good at drafting you're not sitting in the bottom 3rd in the league for 3 seasons and that's that they spent 2 first rounders on defense this year.
SOMEBODY has to start for the Dolphins, in order to field a team at all.
The difference is that our 10 starters are marginal wannabe talents that were picked by ireland, whereas the 8 still with the pats are at a much higher talent level. Ask yourself this question... how many of the 10 starters we still have could be starters for the pats? Or worse... how many of the 10 starters we have from that era COULD EVEN MAKE THE pats 53?
You would NOT like the answer.
Ryan Tannehill. Ah, what a relief. Life is good.
Whats really depressing is if Long goes we'll likely have to use our first on a LT so that'll make 3 first rounders, a second and a third used on the O-line during Irelands tenure. Plus we'll need to draft another guard or two at some point too.

26 September 2012
Posted in Our Planet, Our Universe
Imagine traveling into space 13 billion light-years away. What would you see? What great discoveries would you uncover? Just recently the Hubble Space Telescope captured the farthest view ever into the universe's past, revealing thousands of unexplored galaxies billions of light-years away.
Over the last 10 years the Hubble Space Telescope has taken more than 2,000 images shot by several cameras leading up to one remarkable composite. The final image shows over 5,500 galaxies in just a tiny view. Wow! That's a lot!
Coining the name eXtreme Deep Field (XDF), the stellar photograph transports astronomers back in time 13.2 billion years. According to a researcher at the University Of Santa Cruz, this new snapshot will allow astronomers to uncover information further back in time than ever before.
With an exposure time of two million seconds, XDF reveals a wide range of galaxies from Milky Way-lookalikes to tiny galaxies that may have once been the seed to the larger galaxies we have today. The picture also contains elliptical galaxies along with a nearby Andromeda. According to this new discovery, astronomers now believe the universe is 13.7 billion years old!
Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched ten years ago, astronomers could only view galaxies 7 billion light-years away.
Astronomers now want to research even further back into time. The Hubble's more powerful predecessor, the James Webb Space Telescope, is expected to push the boundaries back even further. The new telescope, expected to launch in 2018, should reveal the mystery of galaxy formations.

Black History Month Program at Sandusky High School
Racial favoritism at its finest. Where's my history month? Where's white history month? This my friends is why race will always be an issue.
Re: Where's white history month
When I went to school in the 50's we had 2 unique subjects 1 was simply called "world history" and we learned about the history of the world and we also had a course called "American History" and we learned about the history of America including all the American persons of significant stature. Race was not defined as we just studied Americans.
Get in the 21st century PLEASE! You learned about white people in your history class in the 50s! I'll be sure to wish you a Happy White History month in March and the other ten months!
February itself could very well just be called "History Month", broadly, and allow for whatever sub-sects of history people want to investigate be what interests them. So much goes on in this month from religious, secular, sports, U.S. past, U.S. recent histroy, etc. that for being a short month there really is a lot to it. It would settle a lot of what we in the younger generation call "butthurt" about the special designation (or lack of special designation) for one group or another. Often by younger millenials/gen-xers we call a person or group like that a "special snowflake" in reference to Fight Club.
Tyler Durden: Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
That said, I don't have a problem with the celebration of "black history". Or as California recently carved out for its students, gay history. Or whatever other division of "history" about which you want to raise awareness. People have many different interests and hobbies. But a group can't get offended if other people take no interest in a publicized awareness, cultural trend, nor if a subject is browbeaten into them.
As for your comment, deertracker, I'm frankly sick of hearing that crap yet again. The other eleven months are white history month?! No. No they aren't. They are whatever month someone makes of them. I think it would do more to advance "black history" to stop having it confined into such a limited time. It overlays U.S. and world history like all other histories and is a year-round "event". For the same reasons people stop being exceptionally cheery and lose interest in Christmasy things after Christmas so too do those "eleven months" have a relative perceived lack of caring/interest in this particular thread of history.
Possible examples:
"We celebrated in February, isn't that enough?"
"Why are you forcing this issue? It's June, can't you wait a few more months to bring up this stuff?"
"We can't talk about cross-color stuff until February when it's more accepted."
"I got so much black history shoved at me that frankly I'm sick of it for another eleven months. Maybe I'll care again then but gimme a break for now please!"
How many people may have thoughts similar to that? Even remove black history and replace it with any other topic!
How much have the Native Americans put up with this whole time? While satiricial is there not a string of truth to this Onion video illustrating that "Economy Failing Because U.S. Built on Ancient Indian Burial Ground".
Thinkagain is sick of seeing all the homosexual issues brought up. Big Dog is sick of seeing all the Republican issues brought brought up. Contango is sick of seeing all the financial illiteracy issues brought up. Coasterfan is sick of seeing all the welfare hate issues brought up. Individually and in the groups we associate we are all tired of these special snowflakes constantly demanding our obedience and attention. In today's world where information is at our fingertips, you can get overloaded.
Information, causes, candidates, thoughts, and such must be marketed out. They must be explained and defined. They must groom the consumer to WANT to consume them intellectually because of all the other truths, facts, causes, and effects that intrinsically link it to everything else. Browbeating it into people only works for some and often makes more people MORE resentful to learning about what you want to teach them.
If you want another term some of us younger people use it's called "Westboroing" people after the notorious Baptist church in that town.
You know the ones. "God Hates Fags". Who show up every time something happens they don't like and protest it, shout, condemn, "educate", and spread misery, hate, and make all other rational people (even if they disagree with those same "fags" they protest) actually unite against them?
Issues like this get me riled up, so forgive my (as Pter calls) "blathering" but until THESE truths here above are put on the table, there will forever be a disconnect between people.
So to all, enjoy the rest of February however you take it because soon the aggregate of national attention will move and hold in just as high regard to Black History Month the sacred institutions of beer and college basketball. Satirical? Sad? True? Take it however you want.
All of you should also be aware that the younger generation IS watching. IS learning. IS paying attention. But on which side of the meme will you be when their culture comes into its own?
Agree with aeres. How about this BET (black entertainment television)? It will always be about race. If we came out with a WET it would raise hell with all these wannabe liberal groups. And I said "wannabe" because if they were truly into equality this $hit with blacks would have been over when they were freed. Why don't the Jewish people or Native American culture have things like this? Because they moved forward. It's in the past. Get over yourselves!
BET is white owned! WET is on the other channels. All except OWN and TV One! Why would Jewish people need
"things like this?"
...Because of their slavery and mass amounts of killings. I'm guessing you are someone that is all about the "what happened to OUR ancestors" type and don't know much about any other history. Shows that you are just as close minded as the next "African american" that pulls the race card any chance they get. Lol and every other channel has a mix of races on them. And BET is owned by someone who thinks they have to make up for ancestry acts just like you. I'm just saying as a white guy I don't feel like I owe anyone anything due to the past. Black America has just as many rights as white America. So all of that $hit needs done away with.
Yes the Jews were persecuted and killed but you can only kill a person once. African Americans were persecuted over and over and over and lots were killed too. As a Black guy I don't owe anyone anything related to the past either. You brought up slavery not me. Clowns like you want to make this about slavery but it really is about teaching blacks about their heritage. The BET owner is in it for the money like all business owners. WTH do you know about the rights of Black America? Nothing white boy!
Racist much black boy?
Deertracker your IGNORANCE is not worth my time. You are stereotyping yourself. Lmao
Bet has a mix of races. If you compare them to the cmt which had no one but whites.
All of *American White History Month* happened continuously until about 40 years ago when a small breakthrough was made. Such discussion continues to happen for more social studies/history lessons in more classrooms than you might believe or imagine. Trust me, my friend, you have not been shortchanged in any way, shape or form!
Racism will never end until there is equality, what do you say to the people under 40? Retribution never heals the past.
Black history month is not about retribution, or celebrating a culture of $300 shoes and sexualized rap music. It is about a history of people that overcame a great injustice, and became inventors, politicians, businessman, scientists, and helped progress our society forward from a time of slavery..
By the way, I am white.
Thank you and very well said. BTW, I am Black!
Yea the Jews never overcame injustice. Where's their month? Where's Mexican history month? It's all a reason to promote racism, get over it, we've all suffered. You guys got your retributions when Obama got re-elected. Now the white man suffers while the black man succeeds
Wow... black history month does not promote racism. Where in any black history month literature do you see something that says, "We must get retribution for our ancestors time in slavery?" It isn't there.
As for "Now the white man suffers while the black man succeeds" I don't even know how to respond to that other than laughing.
Thank you. Similar to deertracker I appreciate the way you said that.
(Here it comes, look out!)
I am not disagreeing with what you said in general or even what the focus of Black History Month is. In fact, if people want to study that particular branch of history then more power to them! Learning should incorporate many points of view and opinions based on multidisciplinary support. But even with what you said and I agreed to, it would be nice to recognize that there is no usurpation of importance or relevance to many other histories that compose who we are.
Your words were true because they are thematic, universal. See?
"[Irish] history month is not about retribution, or celebrating a culture of [liquor] and [zealous Catholicism]. It is about a history of people that overcame a great injustice, and became inventors, politicians, businessman, scientists, and helped progress our society forward from a time of [gang slayings and NINA]..
By the way, I am [not Irish]."
So your words are very much the essence of any recognition. Again I agree with them and think it foolish to purposely discard "black history" from your studies. But should any kind of recognition be favored over another, and if so, who decides and implements that? Is it causing more harm than good with the way it is presented?
This and my rather long post above I hope stir thought. That was my whole reason for throwing my own questions out there. Not to tear down the label of February or even diminish historic contributions by blacks, but as a plea that we take a step back and see how all the threads weave together into our tapestry and not risk wearing one thinner than others.
Black history month programs, such as this one, are great for uniting a community.

Soul Kitchen
Soul Kitchen centers on a likable but hopelessly disorganized restauranteur, Zinos (co-screenwriter Adam Bousdoukos) whose cafe is second home to a motley crew of lovable eccentrics. When his girlfriend Nadine up and moves to Shanghai, a love-sick Zinos decides to fly after her, leaving his restaurant in the hands of his unreliable ex-con brother Illias. Both decisions turn out disastrous: Illias gambles away the restaurant to a shady real estate agent, and Zinos finds Nadine with a new lover. If the brothers can stop arguing and get it together, the Soul Kitchen might still have one last chance at staying in business. The mayhem that follows is a hilariously entertaining story of self-realization, set to an irresistibly soulful soundtrack.

Under a tent to protect attendees from the threatening rain clouds overhead, Choice Hotels symbolically announced the opening of its new Rockville headquarters at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday. Local officials and corporate bigwigs congratulated each other on the finished Choice Hotels International headquarters and welcomed employees to the new building and to Rockville.
"Personally, I wanted to call it intergalactic (headquarters), but they told me that was overreaching," quipped Choice Hotels President and CEO Stephen P. Joyce. "We'll see, in time."
Rockville Councilwoman Bridget Donnell Newton, speaking on behalf of the city's Mayor and Council, heralded the project as an example of a successful public-private partnership.
"We are delighted to have you as our new neighbor," she said.
Steve Silverman, director of the county's Department of Economic Development, called the partnership between state, county and city officials to bring Choice Hotels and a planned Cambria Suites hotel to Rockville's Town Center unprecedented.
"It is a great shot in the arm to Rockville and to our community," he said. "... Montgomery County, Rockville and the state of Maryland are open for business."
To lure Choice Hotels International to Rockville and to keep it from moving out of state, the city, county and state put together an incentives package that included grant money, reduced-price parking spaces and tax credits in exchange for the company hiring and retaining employees.
Clayton Foulger, principal at Foulger-Pratt, which developed the headquarters property, said without the incentive package, Rockville "would have been eliminated very early on in the search process" when Choice Hotels was looking for a new headquarters space.
Joyce said the company couldn't be happier with the result of the public-private partnership that brought the headquarters to Rockville. He also said the company could not have moved without support from local governments, especially when executives first started talking about moving "in the dark days of '09."
"A couple of people suggested we look at the old building and buy a few cans of paint," he said.
Choice Hotels broke ground on its new headquarters in 2011 and moved its employees from Silver Spring to the new building on Rockville Pike in April. Already, Joyce said employees are making the building their home. Apparently the rooms designed without seating to encourage holding quick meetings while standing up were a little too innovative, Joyce said, since employees quickly moved furniture into them.
A Cambria Suites, owned by Choice Hotels, is under construction across the street from the new headquarters. Joyce said he expects it to be completed sometime next year.

Sorry to hear,hope the best,and good luck to your dad.
Sorry to hear,hope the best,and good luck to your dad.
Im so sorry man.
very sorry to hear about your dad
my dad had cancer for over a year before he died at 59 years old. but he didnt die from the cancer it was in remission and his doctors gave him a very positive out look. so dont give up there is always still hope.
he died 2 weeks after the "positive outlook" diagnosis from a anurism(sp) in the brain. which we were told had nothing to do woth the cancer.
so aj the last thing you need to worry about is this a hole emailing you ! just have as much fun with your dad as possible!!
all the best man
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I do understand what your going through. My Mom was diagnosised in July 1991 with lung cancer 3 month after my Father passed away. By the time she finally went to the Doctor it was too late. She was so busy taking care of my Dad (he had a heart condition) for so many years she neglected herself. Her cancer had spread to her bone and she had lesions on her brain. She had a stroke Christmas eve of that year and peacefully past away January 8, 1992.
Both my parents died within 9 months of each other after 46 years of marriage. And I was only 28.
Family is what is important, not internet BB's. Spend what time you have with your Dad. Even though you feel there isn't enough "time", there is never enough time in life just focus on what time you had and all the stuff you and your Dad do or did together.
Take care of the things you have to and don't worry what happens around here.
Take care and best wishes to you and your Family,
You don't know my name but your boyfriend does.
Cause the Post Office wasn't taken applications. Like I told you Chuck.....CASH!
AJ, I lost my father about a year ago to heart disease.
It was hard on me, but perhaps even harder on Danny, my 7 year old son...grandpa was his best buddy. I know how much it hurts. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't wish I could call him or stop over and say hi, or let Danny spend a few hours with him.
You and your family have my best wishes and deepest sympathies...if there are such things as miracles, I hope you get one and your dad recovers from this.
my best to you and your family
My heart and prayers go out to you, AJ-
If ya need a freind you know where to reach me!
Best wishes to you and your family.
I lost a brother to cancer in 1990. He was a Saints fan but I still loved him and still love him today. My prayers are with you during this time of trials and tests. Stand firm and have faith.
There are three kinds of people, those who can count and those who can't.
3 out of 2 people have trouble with math.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Down by two runs with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, Jesus Montero of the Mariners looped a ball down the right-field line in foul territory.
Detroit's Don Kelly charged hard and secured the catch, but not before taking a hard tumble into the stands.
The tremendous stab preserved a 6-4 Detroit Tigers win over the Seattle Mariners in the second test of a three-game set.
Justin Verlander (3-1) fanned six and allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings for the Tigers, who snapped a five-game losing skid to Seattle.
"Verlander certainly wasn't at his best, but a little later on in the game he got better. We made it a little tough on ourselves again at the end, but we got out and that's the important thing," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said.
Kelly's catch allowed Jose Valverde to notch his sixth save of the season, Prince Fielder smacked a solo homer and scored two runs.
Kevin Millwood (0-4) gave up five runs on eight hits and five walks in five innings for Seattle.
"It's not an easy game, but it's also not as hard as I'm making it look. The fact of the matter is, if you make good pitches, you get people out, that's pretty much it," Millwood said.
The Tigers struck first with a run in the first inning and added four more in the second.
Austin Jackson doubled to begin the opening frame and scored on Andy Dirks' single to right-center field.
In the second, Brennan Boesch and Gerald Laird led off with back-to-back singles, and both moved to second and third on Jackson's sacrifice bunt. Dirks then doubled to deep right field to bring home Boesch and Laird. After Miguel Cabrera flied out to right field and Prince Fielder walked, Dirks and Fielder crossed the plate on Delmon Young's double into left-center field, making it 5-0 in favor of Detroit.
Seattle, though, plated three in the third to get back into the contest. Three consecutive singles from Dustin Ackley, Brendan Ryan and Ichiro Suzuki. After Jesus Montero grounded out back to Verlander, Kyle Seager slapped a single into right-center field, scoring Ryan and Suzuki to cut the deficit to 5-3.
Fielder crushed a solo shot deep into the seats in right field to make it 6-3 in the seventh, but the Mariners answered with a run in their half of the frame.
Michael Saunders walked to start the inning, moved to second on a wild pitch during Ackley's at-bat and scurried to third on Ackley's groundout. Saunders scored on Ryan's single to center field.
Fielder's homer was his fifth of the season...Seattle was 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position while Detroit was 3-for-8...Verlander threw 68 of his 113 pitches for strikes.

John Carter of Mars
"John Carter of Mars" is a series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
A movie is on the way, directed by Pixar's Andrew Stanton. It's scheduled to hit theaters by March 9, 2012.
I started some research into it and found this amazing footage, I guess it's narrated by the great Bob Clampett, of animation produced in the 1930s intended to be an animated production of the the same title.
Take a look at this...
Re: John Carter of Mars
Here's the official poster for the upcoming movie...
Re: John Carter of Mars
I'm very excited about this film although I know very litte about it. I haven't read Andrew Stanton's screenplay although I did read an earlier draft by Ted Elliot and Terry Rosio. This was at least ten years ago and I've always had high hopes for this project.
I did have a chance to speak with Andrew a couple years ago. This was just before filming was to begin on his movie. Since that time I haven't heard much. I guess Disney/Pixar is keeping a tight lid on this movie. It was great to finally see a poster, however.

It was a BOO-tastic time!
Monsters, goblins and ghouls took over the Orlando Science Center on Sunday, October 31st at the 7th annual SPOOKTACULAR event where children discovered the secrets behind some of the most famous mythological and mysterious monsters. This fun-filled family event allowed over 1,200 members and guests to experience an entire days' worth of activities, live shows, frightening costumes, scary experiments and of course, a lot of candy.
Little phantoms braved cobwebs and creepy crawlers that hung in the trees in KidsTown, while learning the truth behind "fairy tales" such as, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and Peter and the Wolf. Children were able to take a whack at Halloween inspired piñatas that were filled with delicious treats and fun prizes. In NatureWorks, a Gator feeding frenzy took place, as well as an educational team demonstration about snakes and scorpions.
DinoDigs was transformed into a spooky playground where guests of all ages were able to take a spin at the 'wheel of dares'. If you weren't so lucky, you may have had to touch a hissing cockroach, a bearded dragon or even eat a bug! Children explored hieroglyphics - one of the oldest recorded forms of writing - as well as the historical importance of the Rosetta Stone. Guests participated in an exciting bingo competition, face paintings and a dig activity where little ones could dig for spooky spider rings.
Outside of the exhibits halls, guests learned all about blood, scabs and bruising, while letting our their inner mad scientist, as they watched experiments about dry ice and liquid nitrogen.

Sri Lankan Red Pumpkin Curry Recipe
Sri Lanka
20 Mar 13
The launch of Sri Lanka's second convivium, Slow Food Nuwara Eliya, in January was celebrated with a feast of Sri Lankan dishes made with local ingredients. New convivium leader Roger Abeyagoonesekera said the aim was to "bring the message of good food culture to local small farmers and farm holders" in this hill district of the Central Province, a rolling picturesque landscape that supports the nation's most important tea production.
Many of the dishes on the day used ingredients that are disappearing from the average household's kitchen as they become harder to find or are considered too labor intensive to process, according to chef Duminda Abyesiriwardena, a founding Slow Food member in Sri Lanka who oversaw the preparation of the feast.
"These flavorful dishes exemplify the Slow Food philosophy, using local ingredients and traditional methods that are being lost to new generations," he said. "It's my goal as a chef to help get Sri Lankan culture back on track, and to steer youth away from the masses of fast food options that are attracting them."
This recipe for spicy pumpkin curry, instead uses a vegetable found readily across the country and the world. Enjoy it with a selection of other curries or simply with roti or rice.
cooking oil
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small knob of ginger, finely chopped
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
a few karapincha (curry leaves)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
200 g pumpkin, chopped
150 ml coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
5 tsp grated coconut, toasted (optional)
Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté onion, garlic and ginger on medium heat.
Add the curry leaves, powdered spices and cumin seeds.
Add the pumpkin and coconut milk and mix well with the other ingredients.
Bring to the boil and simmer until pumpkin is tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, spread the grated coconut over an oven tray and bake at a moderate heat until brown, taking care not to burn it. Cool and sprinkle over the curry when serving.
