Daulerio5/20/10 11:20amFiled to: Last night's winnerFloyd LandisLandis Fingers ArmstrongSantana MossSantana Moss fingered38EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In sports everyone's a winner — some win better than others, like every headline writer who's dreamed of using the verb "finger." Last night was a flat-out finger blast for those folks. Advertisement First Floyd Landis admits to doping then, in a shocking twist, also fingers Armstrong. Fox Sports says he was fingered. Of course, the San Francisco Chronicle let it be known that Landis fingered Armstrong. According to the photo they used to accompany this story, it appears Landis is quite elated to be fingering someone so popular: ESPN, the Worldwide Leader, however, is not a fan of fingering. They have strict policies about that sort of thing (so I've heard). But that policy could change if another athlete gets fingered. Like, say, Santana Moss. Also, fans of two-fingered activities will be pleased to know that there is a public memorial service planned for Ronnie James Dio.Reply38 repliesLeave a reply

"I can tell you this. I've seen a lot of things like 'Fire Vince Russo'. Russo didn't come up with all of these ideas. Sure he came up with a few things that weren't that good and weren't pleasing to the ears or to the eyes but no one does. Vince wasn't all that people thought he was as far as this 'terrible writer'. Vince was a great friend of mine and I'm going to miss him not being here. But for people to say all these terrible things about him and it's just not all true.
"They have no idea, even I have no idea of all the things that went on backstage when they are writing the show. You have to think, I don't know how many writers the other company has, I'm sure its a butt load of them. We have 2 or 3 writers, that's it. Even if he did, you have to give him credit for putting in so much. Honestly, I hope Vince is enjoying the time off and not have to focus on wrestling. If I had to go through that much in my time in wrestling, I know I would have gone crazy. I just hope he is enjoying himself and his time in Colorado."
On the new creative team of Bruce Prichard, Dave Lagana and Matt Conway: "Well, Matt Conway, I've been working with him. Lagana, I've actually got to communicate with him a lot and Bruce as well. I think the fact that we have been able to communicate is a plus. The lack of communication is what screws things up. Without that you can't see their vision for what they want. You end up with two different pictures for the same thing."
On Hulk Hogan changing AJ's preconceived notions of Hulk Hogan prior to him coming in to TNA: "Sure he has. He is another guy who if I needed to talk to, I can."
The removal of the six sided ring: "I liked the six sided ring because it was different. It was who we were. We didn't look like anyone else. Maybe AAA or whoever was using the six sided ring for a second but we had our own thing and it was different from anyone else. When I took the first bump (in the standard ring) I was relived that my back wasn't breaking in half because the six sided ring is a lot rougher on your body. The squared ring is a lot safer to bump in and so it changed my mind pretty quickly."
Austin Aries: "A-double is the man. I've known this for a long time. It's no secret. It was just getting him here and letting him do his thing. He is a great wrestler. He helped our roster. He is an amazing athlete, he is an amazing wrestler."
Being offered a WWE developmental contract for $500 a week and turning it down: "I could tell you what would have happened. Literally 3 months later, WWE pulled their developmental. I'm sure they would have just dumped my contract."

Combining the strengths of three interdisciplinary research teams, the goals of this program project are: 1. to advance the science of cancer end-of-life and bereavement care by exploring and intervening to improve the experience and outcomes for spouse/partner caregivers;2. to expedite the formation of a new interdisciplinary science team from three separate programs of research, leveraging different perspectives to improve understanding and produce meaningful interventions that address the continuum of end-of-life and bereavement care;3. to extend research questions beyond those possible through individual studies and existing research programs and;4. to accelerate and expand the dissemination of effective end-of-life and bereavement models, methods and findings, The goals will be accomplished through implementation of three theoretically based research projects sharing one implementation core which provides the infrastructure and coordination among the projects. The first project, Symptom Care by Phone (SCP), a prospective clinical trial, will test an automated computer based telecommunication system that assesses severity and distress from physical and psychological symptoms common at the end-of-life, sends e-mail alerts to the hospice nurse of unrelieved symptoms and provides tailored management strategies to spouse/partner caregivers based on the individual symptom pattern. 300 home hospice cancer patients age 50+ and their caregivers will be randomized to intervention or usual care. The second project, Nurse-Caregiver Communication (NCC) will begin simultaneously. It will examine communication patterns and trajectories of communication during audio taped hospice RN home visits with the 300 caregivers. These interactions will be coded with the Roter Interaction Analysis System. The third project, Individualized Dual Process Model (DPM), will test the effectiveness of an intervention to enhance coping processes and outcomes of the spouse/partner caregivers during bereavement. 160 bereaved caregivers from the SCP project will be randomly selected and assigned to one of the two DPM project groups. Additional synergistic, interdependent aims will address cross project questions and extend the depth and breadth of the analyses using both pre and post death data.
How we provide effective and humane care for people dying of cancer and their family caregivers is a significant societal and public health concern. This program project grant will improve our understanding of effective health care provider-family caregiver communication, contribute a new approach to assist caregivers and health care providers in providing end-of-life symptom care at home and offers an intervention that enhances bereavement adjustment.

So … a couple of days ago a rumor started going around that actors Katie Holmes and Jake Gyllenhaal have been carrying on a secret romance. According to the initial report, the pair had been "introduced" but a third party and BAM! they fell in love. Because both actors are currently starring on Broadway shows, I'm guessing the connection seemed to make sense to whoever it was that came up with the story. When I first caught wind of this, I think I laughed so hard that I almost choked on a Chicken McNugget from McDonald's (What? Don't judge me). I guess the story picked up enough steam that Katie's rep had to issue a denial … I mean, duh. In an attempt to try and quell this silly story, I felt it was my duty to reaffirm for the world that Jake and Katie are NOT dating. I repeat, they are NOT dating. They're not. No.
No secret celebrity romance here! New reports surfaced this week that Katie Holmes and Jake Gyllenhaal are secretly dating in the Big Apple. According to the rumors, Holmes, 34, has been spending time over at the 32-year-old actor's West Village apartment for dinners. But it seems Tom Cruise's ex-wife and mother of daughter Suri, 6, is still single going into the new year. Holmes' rep told Gossip Cop that the Gyllenhaal romance rumors are "not at all true."
I can't believe that people seriously believed this story … I certainly hope none of you PITNBers believed it for a second. Look, I like Katie … she seems like a very nice lady and I'm extremely happy for her that she is no longer married to Tom Cruise but … c'mon … Jake Gyllenhaal? Nah. Tho, it has been a while since we've gotten any substantial news about Jakey poo. He's been working hard on Broadway, yes, but there hasn't been much news on him otherwise. I'm guessing people were so hungry for Jake news that they would pay attention to this story just because it involved our dear Jake. But, nothing to see here … move it along. Sorry, Katie … I really am.

Rooftop Films partners with the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival to bring you Jarred Alterman's magical CONVENTO.
For the third year straight, Rooftop is proud to once again to partner with the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival.
The Margaret Mead Film Festival is the longest-running, premiere showcase for international documentaries in the United States, encompassing a broad spectrum of work, from indigenous community media to experimental nonfiction. The Festival is distinguished by its outstanding selection of titles, which tackle diverse and challenging subjects, representing a range of issues and perspectives, and by the forums for discussion with filmmakers and speakers.
We're excited to partner with the Festival to present CONVENTO, an audience favorite at our 2011 Summer Series. The film follows the bizarre and beautiful work of kinetic artist Christiaan Zwanikken, and the surreal world in which he lives and works.
In addition, Christiaan's fantastic robo-animal sculptures will be on display in the Museum of Natural History's Grand Gallery located near the 77th Street entrance. They will be on display through the entire Festival. Free with Museum or Mead admission. Even if you had a chance to see the scultpures in Brooklyn, Christiaan is bringing a NEW BATCH of fantastical creatures for your viewing pleasure.
See a full schedule and get more information on the Margaret Mead Film Festival here.
Convento (Jarred Alterman | Portugal | 52 min.)
Two fox skulls rise on spindly necks to dance and fight. Nearby in the chirping woods, a woman gathers her laundry, seemingly oblivious. A metal beetle whirrs and clicks, scaring a curious bird into fissure. A monastery in ruins is resurrected as a palace of ingenuity, as much in harmony with nature as it is incongruous within it.
Built 400 years ago, the convent on a cliff is now home to Geraldine Zwanikken and her sons Christiaan and Louis. The family settled here to find and forge a new wellspring of creativity. Christiaan has tapped the well literally, building a robotic donkey which walks an endless circle, lifting water to compound's highest point, to trickle down and nurture Geraldine's garden. The art is ghastly but gorgeous, an homage to the boys' childhood donkey, and to all working animals and clever machines. Made out of modern scrap machinery but referencing eternal truths about the history and nature of animal life, this piece, like all of Christiaan's work, like the convent, is a glorious contradiction, an object at odds with itself.
Director Jarred Alterman revels in the Zwanikkens' poetic paradoxes. Lusciously photographed, intricately edited, delicately constructing a soundscape that mixes the sounds of the hills with the noises of a science fiction film set in Medieval times, Convento is a delightful immersion in the sun-dusted scrubland,
in the crumbling walls of the ancient building, in Christiaan's Frankenstein lab, revealing a unique vision of existence.

Two OB-GYN practices based in Beaufort — Coastal Obstetrics and Gynecology; and Werner, Royal & Csakany, OB-GYN — have merged to form Riverside Women's Care, which became effective Oct. 1.

• Meredith Mitchell, MD
• Lynn B. Norton, MD
• Randy Royal, MD
• Glenn Werner, MD
• Elizabeth DuRant, DNP, CNM
The group will maintain primary office locations in Beaufort and Bluffton. In Beaufort, the providers will see patients permanently at 1264 Ribaut Road, Building 200.
Through mid-November, they will also see patients at 13 Marshellen Drive.
In Bluffton, the providers are temporarily seeing patients at the office of Hilton Head Regional OB/GYN Partners at 1 Burnt Church Road. Beginning mid-November, they will see patients at their new permanent office at the Bluffton Medical Campus at 75 Baylor Drive.
The new practice, Riverside Women's Care, will continue to accept the same health insurances that were accepted at the former practices. It is also accepting new patients.
The practice provides a range of gynecological and obstetrics care for women. In addition, the providers will begin delivering babies at Coastal Carolina Hospital in the spring, when the Hardeeville-based hospital opens its new women's unit.
For more information, contact Riverside Women's Care at 524-5455 in Beaufort or 540-5857 in Bluffton.

When Mark Davis and Cody Cline started out in the barbecue catering business as Squealers Authentic BBQ Company more than a year ago, their intentions were to become restaurant owners, serving only the best homemade foods around.
In fact, Davis, who worked for many years at The Gazette and The Carroll News, quit his newspaper job to make a career out of barbecuing.
Cline, a full-time mechanic at Hills Trucking, spends 50 to 60 hours a week in front of the grill, perfecting barbecue.

'12 Years a Slave' Review: This Might Just Be One of the Most Powerful Movies You Ever Watch
Confession: I don't know know how to start writing about this film. I've been staring at a blank screen for 30 minutes, spitting out various lines that attempt to convey just how powerful and memorable and soul crushing and Oscar worthy 12 Years a Slave is, but none of it sounds right. It all just sounds like I'm a salesman outside your door hocking another movie about slavery. "But this one's different!" I might pronounce, just as you tighten your bathrobe and comb your brain for a way out as you eye the cup of coffee sitting within your grasp. "This isn't Django Unchained! That was a fine film, see, but it's sort of like the comic book version of the real story. You haven't seen a movie about slavery like this before. You haven't witnessed its atrocities in this manner, no you haven't. You haven't climbed inside the lifeless eyes of a person who's just been savagely whipped to where the only thing between them and death is our most uncontrollable desire as human beings: the desire to survive. To live. That's what this movie is about. It's about living. And surely, good neighbor, you can relate to that."
You're not convinced, though. It all sounds like poetic hyperbole, and you point out the stack of DVDs scattered haphazardly across your kitchen counter -- "all this stuff you still need to watch" -- but I can tell I've caught your ear. "Did I mention it's based on a true story? An incredibly haunting story about a free man and citizen of New York named Solomon Northup who's tricked into traveling to Washington in 1841 with the promise of work only to be drugged and sold into slavery instead." I stumble while trying to pronounce Chiwetel Ejiofor's name correctly, but I make up for it by explaining just how rich and complex his performance is. "The emotions he conveys just with his eyes alone are enough to stab you in the heart; in that place reserved for imagining what it would be like if you were suddenly ripped from your wife and children only to be sold and subsequently treated like a piece of meat for the next 12 years of your life."
I spit out comparisons like Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, two films that also did an incredible job at accurately conveying the atrocities of real-life events while also remaining grounded in stories of human perseverance. "It's our only way of truly connecting with these times in our history where evil reigned. If we relive them through the eyes of those who were strong willed and determined not to let the Devil take their soul, then maybe revisiting their suffering will ultimately help cure our own demons and build a future that learns from its mistakes."
Ah, but of course you want to know about Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt, and the rest of an ensemble cast who truly bring themselves to some of the darkest places we've seen on-screen in years. "Sure, yes, Michael Fassbender plays a dirty, selfish slave owner whose ruthless ego is often tested in ways that reveal a side of him we haven't yet seen as an actor. His brutality is one of the most engaging parts of the movie, and his obsession with a particular slave provides the film's most striking moments." We run through a list of those who pop in briefly, but definitely make themselves known. Like Paul Giamatti, who strips slaves before lining them up and parading them around a room like prized stallions, sleazily selling their best attributes to potential buyers. Also Paul Dano gets another chance to do his best "crazy Paul Dano" impression as a sick, deranged slave driver. "But Pitt, on the other hand..." -- and this is where you lean in a bit closer; your bathrobe coming undone, your morning coffee gone cold by this point -- "he's only in the film briefly, as a sort of "traveling dude" who may be Solomon's best chance at escaping captivity."
"That's it? Only a few minutes of Brad Pitt?"
I almost lose you with that little bit of trivia, but I make up for it by telling you more about the film's breakout star, a newcomer in her first feature film. "Her name is Lupita Nyong'o, and she plays the object of Fassbender's obsession, a slave whose ability to pick an obscene amount of cotton drives her owner to the most disgustingly euphoric places. She has scenes in this movie that will crush your heart and evoke the sort of nightmares that may haunt you for days or weeks after. See this film just to witness one of the greatest debut performances of the decade. This girl is it. This girl is real. This girl will put you through changes."
I know I've got you when you wave off further plot and character descriptions, because like me you want to go in knowing as little as possible. We briefly converse about Steve McQueen's direction; how he takes his time and lingers on scenes, be it the lush and mysterious swamp land of the South, or the brutality of almost hanging a man -- McQueen doesn't just re-create bad memories, he creates new ones.
Finally, you stop me. You have things to do, a weekend to enjoy. I've already bummed out your morning with tales of our horrifying history, but you give me the satisfaction in admitting your interest in the film is now high. I've done my job. I've told you what I know and how I feel. I've conveyed my opinion that this is one of -- if not the best -- movie of the year, and that ignoring it would rob you of witnessing one of the most powerful films you may ever see.
I bid you a good day, and before you're able to reheat that cup of coffee I am off to do this all over again.

Abe Lincoln: Failure is fleeting
By Sandy Schussel
Sandy Schussel, LLC
In the wake of a very American holiday weekend dedicated to rewarding us all for our hard work, I am reminded of a lesson that can be gleaned from the life of one of our most celebrated presidents: that failure is always temporary, unless you choose to make it permanent.
For 28 years, Abraham Lincoln experienced one failure after another. In 1833, he had a nervous breakdown. When he ran for speaker of the state legislature in 1838, he was defeated. In 1848, he lost renomination to Congress. In 1849, his bid to be appointed land officer was rejected.
But these failures didn't stop Lincoln. In 1854, he was defeated for the Senate. Two years later, he lost the nomination for vice president, and two years after that, he was again defeated for the Senate. Then, in 1860, he was elected president of the United States.
Just as courage isn't the absence of fear, success isn't the absence of failure. Failure is the way we learn along the road. Success comes from refusing to quit the journey. If you reach for a very high branch, you may fall hard on more than one or two occasions. But if you keep trying, you'll have the chance to climb higher than those who allow their fears to halt them.

FC Dallas has started a new campaign to get Frisco residents to "paint the town red" on Fridays before home game days.
So what exactly does that mean?
More than 500 local Frisco business will be hanging red Frisco flags in their places of businesses to support the FC Dallas team. This is to remind residents that it is Red Friday and there is a game on Saturday.
One way that we, as residents, can support is to wear red on the Fridays before games, such as today.
• Have you ever wondered why fireworks go off occasionally on Friday nights at Toyota Stadium? I know I sure have. I had no idea that was FC Dallas reminding everyone that there is a game the next night. Now I know.
• Frisco residents can benefit on Saturday home game nights by receiving specials on tickets, FC Dallas goods, and "special experience discount offers for the match that weekend."
At 8 p.m. Saturday,. FC Dallas takes on the Colorado Rapids, All kids tickets are only $8.25. This is in honor of Red Frisco Friday and tax-free weekend. So if you and your kids are looking for something special to do this weekend, come out to an FC Dallas game.
• Last Thursday, I had the privilege of a taking a private tour of FC Dallas from Chip Kisabeth, director of ticket sales. I got an inside look of the locker room where the players' gear is stored. I was even lucky enough to sneak a photo of the HUGE wall of cleats that the players wear.
I have to admit, I am very jealous of their shoe collection and wanted some for my closet.


text: Yeah, Punk would own him on the mic. I'm just not seeing a real legitimate argument on why he couldn't have some title matches against punk so punk can sell him as a tough SOB, like the Undertaker did for Hardy...or something like that. Putting him up against Kane or Y2J would be excellent testing grounds, but I think we were trying to see who Punk could feud with quickly while we wait for the rock, that isn't John Cena yet again. I think Punk whooping up on Kofi in some brutal matches with Kofi looking tough and getting real close to winning, just to come up short would be really entertaining and give Punk some real heel heat, since half the crowd wants to see Cena get buried anyways. It would be a mark out moment for some if Kofi actually won, instead of Cena winning. But I prefer Punk holding on to the belt for a long time, personally.

The catalytic subunit of the H+/K+-transporting ATPase (EC 126.96.36.199) has 62% identity to the α, or catalytic subunit, of the Na+/K+-transporting ATPase (EC 188.8.131.52); however, a homologous β subunit was unknown until recently. Removal of the carbohydrate from purified hog H+/K+ATPase vesicles reveals a 35-kDa peptide that, when fragmented with protease V8, gives sequences homologous to both β1 and β2 subunits of the Na+/K+-ATPase. cDNA clones for a β subunit of the gastric H+/K+-ATPase were isolated from a rabbit stomach cDNA library by using degenerate 17-mer oligonucleotide probes made to the protease V8-treated peptides. An open reading frame (54-926) encodes a predicted 291-amino acid peptide with Mr = 33,320, which exhibits 31% and 44% homologies to the Na+/K+-ATPase β1 and Na+/K+-ATPase β2 proteins, respectively. A Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy plot predicts a single N-terminal transmembrane domain with a small hydrophobic region near the C terminus. The presumed extracytosolic domain contains seven potential N-linked glycosylation sites and six out of nine cysteines. Northern (RNA) blot analysis of stomach RNA with the rabbit H+/K+-ATPase β probe identifies a single mRNA of 1.3-1.5 kilobases, similar in concentration to the α subunit mRNA. The presence of a defined gastric H+/K+-ATPase β subunit extends the homology between H+/K+-ATPase and the Na+/K+-ATPase subclass of phosphoenzyme transport ATPase and distinguishes them from the monomeric Ca2+ and proton pump subclasses.

A group for those interested in science from the vast expanse of the universe or technology.
The article explains the concept behind the notorious OpenSSL bug dubbed Heartbleed.
Hello members of the Science group, Some people awhile back asked for a list of transistion fossils.
Note to all members, any religious posts or News articles posted on this group will be deleted This s a science group, not a religious group. Thank you...
I heard many times that in fact power output of the Sun is very low compared to it's size. But people usually consider Sun as something monstrous with...
Triangulum brought to my attention this amazing article which I had to reply to... Enjoy :)
Lets make it clear what will be allowed to be posted as science in this group.
An article I read as i searched through the news. This may be finally the breakthrough we need to finally cure this disease. I hope
