TG writes: One of the most anticipated zombie smashers of 2013 is set to be released upon the World. Does Dead Island Riptide live up to the hype or is it just another dead man walking?
Read our review to find out.
Techland did a great job and made a great zombie killing RPG.
Definitely not a 10, it maybe fun but i doubt this game has a story as good as many other games on the market and story should definitely be a big part of the score.

CNBC's Jim Cramer has become more cautious on the market right now and conditions are creating a "nightmare scenario" for just about everyone involved, he said on "Squawk on the Street" Monday.
"I don't like the market as much because I do believe the quarters aren't going to be that great. I just don't think they're going to be blowout," Cramer said. "What I'm calling for is a market which doesn't really do anything."
"I have gotten more cautious. The mechanics of the market are going to play out here," he said.
This caution is based on the impending "markup" period by aggressive growth funds that are looking to preserve gains, and this kind of rationale can trump market fundamentals. Along with the upcoming Fed meeting, these dynamics could create a dip in the market, he explained. "I think you have to accept the fact that there can be a trough and then a rally."
(More From Cramer: Is This Once-Bankrupt Company a Buy?)
"There is not enough business activity to justify a backup in rates," he said. "Everyone is looking for direction." Instead, Cramer wants to see real increases in business activity instead of a reliance on Federal Reserve "life support." This will lead to stable growth, instead of a bubble, he explained.
Two names that Cramer said "acted well last week" were General Mills and Bristol-Myers, but "those stocks were signaling imminent recession in eight to 12 months" because they bottomed. "You don't want to see that," he added, because big players are moving back into stocks that they consider to be safe havens.
There are many different perspectives in the market, he said, and those who were betting on a rebound last week had their money in bank stocks and "that group started losing at the end of last week."
(Read More: Cramer's Game Plan: It's All About the Fed)
"There are too many players right now. There are bond vigilantes, there are guys that don't like the growth stocks, there are guys that say stocks are too expensive," he said. "Then there's this group of core people huddled with big gains who have to preserve them at all costs."
"This is a nightmare scenario for both bulls and bears," he said. "It's a battleground."

FERPA Online Library
|MS Word (32 KB)
April 16, 2004
Mrs. Carol H. Fuller
Assistant Vice President for Research and Policy Analysis
National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities
1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Suite 700
Washington, DC 20036-5405
Dear Mrs. Fuller:
This is in response to your letter in which you ask the Family Policy Compliance Office (Office) for clarification of the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as they relate to institutions of higher education that use the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) Degree Verify service.
As a matter of background, institutions of higher education have certain Federal reporting requirements on their students that relate to graduation rates. Institutions can contract with NSC to obtain information that helps them calculate these rates. NSC's Degree Verify Service appears to work as follows: For University A that has a contract with NSC for its Degree Verify Service, any third party can contact NSC directly to inquire whether or not a particular student graduated from University A. The third party, or requester, must have the student's prior written consent in order for NSC to provide this information to the requester because the requester must provide the student's social security number (SSN) (i.e., non-directory information) in order to use the Degree Verify Service.
You now seek additional guidance on whether University A, in the example above, would also need the prior written consent of an eligible student before University A, acting as the requester, uses the NSC Degree Verify Service to obtain degree and enrollment information about that student from another school. Specifically, you are concerned that instead of submitting directory information, as is required by NSC's EnrollmentSearch Service , schools may be submitting personally identifiable information from education records in the form of student SSNs to NSC's Degree Verify Service. As explained below, a school may not submit personally identifiable information from a student's education records, such as a SSN, to NSC's Degree Verify Service in order to obtain information contained in education records of the student that are maintained by, or on behalf of, another school.
FERPA protects the privacy interests of parents in their children's "education records," and generally prohibits the disclosure of education records, or personally identifiable information from education records, without the prior written consent of the parent or eligible student. When a student reaches the age of 18 or attends an institution of postsecondary education, the student is considered an "eligible student," and all of the rights afforded by FERPA transfer from the parents to the student. 34 CFR § 99.3 "Eligible student."
The term "education records" is defined as all records, files, documents and other materials which:
contain information directly related to a student; and are maintained by the educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution.
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4)(A); 34 CFR § 99.3 "Education records."
As we understand it, NSC maintains education records on behalf of certain schools that have contracted with NSC to provide enrollment and degree verification services for such schools. This Office has previously advised schools that they may use outside entities, such as NSC, to provide verification services consistent with the requirements of 34 CFR §99.31(a) and §99.7(a)(3)(iii). FERPA contains an exemption to the prior written consent requirement that permits an educational agency or institution to disclose personally identifiable information from education records to other school officials, including teachers, within the agency or institution whom the agency or institution has determined to have legitimate educational interests. 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(1). Thus, an organization such as NSC, by virtue of a contractual relationship with an educational agency or institution, may be considered a school official with legitimate educational interests under 34 CFR §99.31(a)(1) subject to the provisions of 34 CFR §99.7(a)(3)(iii).
Under 34 CFR §99.7(a)(3)(iii), a school must include in its annual notification of rights under FERPA a statement indicating whether it has a policy of disclosing personally identifiable information under § 99.31(a)(1) and, if so, a specification of the criteria for determining who constitutes a school official and what constitutes a legitimate educational interest. Accordingly, if a school has included in its annual notification of rights under FERPA criteria that support the designation of an organization such as NSC as a school official with a legitimate educational interest, then FERPA would permit the educational institution to disclose personally identifiable information from education records to NSC without the signed and dated written consent of the student in order that NSC can carry out its job function of providing degree/enrollment verification information to outside requesters. However, for the reasons outlined below, in order for NSC to disclose personally identifiable information from education records to a third party requester, the student must provide his or her prior written consent authorizing the disclosure.
As you know, one of the exceptions to the prior written consent rule allows schools to disclose properly designated "directory information" without an eligible student's prior written consent. See 34 CFR §§ 99.31(a)(11) and 99.37. FERPA defines directory information as information contained in an education record that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(5)(A); 34 CFR § 99.3. Directory information includes, but is not limited to, information such as name, address, dates of attendance, degree obtained, grade level, photograph, student status (full-time, part-time, undergraduate, graduate), telephone number, date and place of birth, and participation in officially recognized activities and sports. "Dates of attendance," as defined in § 99.3 of the FERPA regulations, and revised in a final rule issued on July 6, 2000, means:
(a) The period of time during which a student attends or attended an educational agency or institution. Examples of dates of attendance include an academic year, a spring semester, or a first quarter.
(b) The term does not include specific daily records of a student's attendance at an educational agency or institution.
"Directory information" may not include the student's social security number (SSN) or other student identification number. Moreover, schools (and their contractors) must honor a student's decision to opt-out of the disclosure of directory information under 34 CFR § 99.37.
While degree and enrollment status may be designated and disclosed as directory information, there is no exception to the prior written consent rule that allows disclosure of non-directory, personally identifiable information such as a SSN from a student's education records to confirm or verify a student's degree or enrollment status. It is our understanding that a requester who uses NSC's Degree Verify service has prior, written consent from the student permitting access to information in education records maintained by NSC on behalf of a school. In other words, this prior written consent would permit NSC to match the student's SSN in its database with the SSN submitted by the requester for identification purposes incident to a search of its database for purposes of providing degree or enrollment verification information. However, if an eligible student has not provided the requester with prior written consent for the disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records, then NSC cannot match the student's SSN in its database with the SSN submitted by the requester.
This Office has previously advised schools that unless an eligible student provides signed and dated written consent permitting a school to release personally identifiable information, a school may not use personally identifiable information from education records to confirm or verify any information contained in education records of that eligible student that are maintained by another school or by a contractor acting on behalf of another school. Specifically, we believe that the confirmation or verification of personally identifiable information such as a SSN in a student's education records in and of itself constitutes a prohibited disclosure of personally identifiable information under FERPA. For example, on March 10, 1999, this Office determined that a local school district in Newcastle, Kentucky violated FERPA when a school official confirmed certain personally identifiable information about a student that a newspaper reporter had obtained from outside sources.
Applying these rules to your inquiry, if a requester enters a student's SSN into NSC's Degree Verify website, and NCS uses the SSN to identify the student and find matching enrollment or degree information, than NSC may not release the enrollment or degree information unless the student has provided prior written consent for the disclosure. Even though enrollment and degree information may be designated and disclosed as directory information, the use of personally identifiable non-directory information (the SSN) to identify the student constitutes an impermissible disclosure of the SSN when NSC returns matching directory information to the requester. Therefore, absent prior written consent of the student, NSC may only use "directory information," such as name and date of birth (not the student's SSN) to identify the student and search its database for matching information for purposes of providing degree or enrollment verification and only for those students who did not opt out of the disclosure of directory information.
This analysis applies to verification services that NSC, or other contractors, may provide for schools and covers education records of current, as well as former, students. Thus, for each requester that submits the student's SSN, or other personally identifiable information, to NSC to obtain enrollment or degree verification, the student must have provided his or her signed and dated written consent authorizing the disclosure. Moreover, this requirement applies to all requesters, including educational agencies and institutions and their contractors.
Finally, if this Office received a complaint from an eligible student (former or current) that NSC improperly disclosed personally identifiable information from their education records to a school or other requester seeking enrollment or degree verification information without the student's signed and dated written consent, than the focus of our investigation would begin with the school that provided NSC with the education records, or access thereto, in the first place.
Should you have further questions regarding this issue, or FERPA in general, please do not hesitate to contact this Office.

What you can do
Local authorities
Local authorities play a key role in tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic (HBT) bullying and supporting LGBT young people in their communities. They have a duty to ensure the safety and welfare of all children in their community. They are also uniquely placed to provide support and guidance to schools and youth services.
Stonewall works with local authorities through the Education Champions programme, providing them with bespoke support and advice.
Why is it important?
- Local authorities play a strong strategic role working with schools, parents, families and vulnerable pupils to ensure children and young people's safety, fair access and improved school performance, all of which can be affected by bullying.
- HBT bullying affects all pupils. Nine in ten secondary and two in five primary school teachers say young people, regardless of their sexual orientation, experience homophobic bullying, name calling or harassment (The Teachers' Report 2014).
- Bullying affects pupils' attendance, attainment and future prospects.
- Public bodies are legally required to take proactive action. The Equality Act 2010 places a legal duty on all public bodies, including local authorities and schools, to take a proactive role in tackling HBT bullying and protecting those who might be experiencing it.
- Ofsted inspectors judge the work schools do to prevent and tackle prejudice-based bullying and language, including HBT bullying and language.
- Ofsted inspections look at how the local authority supports schools to prevent and tackle bullying.

Locals' Olympic missile site challenge rejected
13 July 2012
Harrow Community Support Ltd v. Secretary of State for Defence [2012] EWHC 1921 (Admin), Haddon-Cave J, 10 July 2012, read judgment
In 776BC, the Olympics consisted of one day's running and wrestling. A hundred years later, chariots and single horses arrived, thanks to the influence of Phaidon of Argos (a big shot in seventh-century Greece), and I dare say the civic pride which each participating Greek city-state brought to the Games was already running high. But I don't suppose either Phaidon or Baron de Coubertin would have predicted the move which triggered this piece of litigation. The MoD decided to site a missile launcher and military personnel on the roof of a Council tower block in Leytonstone during the Olympics. Like all military hardware, it has a nice acronym, GBAD, being a Ground Based Air Defence system.
Anyway, a residents' association formed by residents of Fred Wigg Tower, 15 storeys and containing 117 flats, decided to challenge the MoD. As their petition put it, "We, the undersigned residents of FWT, Montague Road, Leytonstone E11 3 EP, do not want explosive missile systems placed on the roof of our home". Nor, I suppose, do any of us, but some of us may want someone else to have missile launchers on their roofs.

ADDISON COUNTY — When Vermonters gather around the tube to watch the 85th Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night they will be pulling for their favorite movies, actors and directors. One film up for an Oscar and the film's director will have a particularly loud cheering section in Addison County.
"Paperman," a seven-minute, black-and-white animated movie, is considered by some to be the front-runner in the Best Animated Short Film category. It was conceived and directed by John Kahrs, the son of Helen and Ed Kahrs of West Addison, and the younger brother of Lee Kahrs of Salisbury.
The Pixar/Disney film premiered at a film festival last June and was released in theaters this past November to run before the feature-length animated comedy "Wreck-It Ralph." It is a charming story of a man and woman meeting on a subway platform, and the connection they maintained through a sheaf of papers.
John Kahrs was raised in the Hudson River Valley of New York, but came to Vermont every summer. Family have scheduled a viewing of the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday evening and hope that the winner will be announced live on air.
Kahrs, who now lives in Los Angeles, told Animation World News that he got the idea for "Paperman" while living in New York City in the early 1990s and commuting through Grand Central Station.
The clever animation style combines hand-made drawing and computer-generated graphics, that grew out of what he learned while working as the animation supervisor to the hit "Tangled." He also worked as an animator on films including "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Monsters, Inc.," "Toy Story 2," and "A Bug's Life."
The film was posted on YouTube but was designated as private. It could be viewed on Saturday morning at this website.

Why all the nudity in 2009? Well, look at this way: The affordability of video production technology has made it easier for everybody to get in the game; the unceremonious death of music television has shifted the means of music video distribution to the internet, where it's less about FCC than about NSFW; and let's face it, blogger hit counts love no four letters more than NSFW. More than ever, video directors and bands are cutting through the iMovie inundation by setting their songs to a bunch of extras parading their giggly bits. (Occasionally the artists themselves are baring more than just their souls, too.) To memorialize the year in NSFW, here are ten of the most prurient sets of moving pixels we've seen all year. Any other week we'd say you shouldn't watch this at your cubicle, but you deserve a reward for even being at work this week, so go nuts! Lots of nuts here.
10 Marilyn Manson – "Running To The Edge Of The World"
There was a time when Marilyn's idea of NSFW was convincing his ex, Rachel Evan Wood, that doing a softcore sex scene in his video was a smart idea. Then she found an actually smart idea and broke up with him, and now Marilyn's NSFW means depicting a barely dressed woman of a similar age being beaten into a bloody pulp. His shtick is sad, and gross, and tired, but this is a list of NSFW videos, and this is a pretty NSFW video. Obligatory, evergreen addendum: Marilyn will be knocking on your door soon.
09 Patrick Wolf – "Vulture"
B&W print, S&M bondage gear, Wolf's bare butt, and somehow still not as exciting as this other Patrick Wolf video which didn't cost a thing (aside from his dignity).08 Depeche Mode – "Hole To Feed"
After watching what he did for Flying Lotus last year, it was clear Tim & Eric's Eric Wareheim was going to be a major force in NSFW videos for years to come, or at least the next one year to come. So in 2009 he makes this list twice! The only director worthy of such an honor (also, the only one in the running for it). Eric's very particular brand of sexy gets good work for Depeche Mode, where the "Hole" is the mouth and the "Feed" is aggressive face fucking. Gross and also fantastic.
07 Massive Attack – "Paradise Circus"
Massive Attack's Heligoland track with Hope Sandoval serves as a (way)backdrop to a documentary in which a 73-year-old Georgina Spelvin recalls the lay of her life in the adult film classic The Devil In Miss Jones. Basically the Toby Dye-directed clip is Titanic as porn documentary, where instead of flashing back to cute scenes with Leo, Old Rose is flashing back to money-shots with Disco Stu. Why it didn't rank higher: You need to watch it twice to even remember there's a Massive Attack song playing at all.
06 Yeasayer – "Ambling Alp"
The technologically advanced teaser made for state-of-the-art peeping Tom-foolery, allowing the viewer to rotate a camera around an unrestricted circle of naked kids. The video itself? Much classier, thank you very much, although also much less interactive. (The two are probably related.) Never mind what anybody else does, unless they're running through the ambling Alps on a pseudo-Ryan McGinley nudist marathon, while All Hour Cymbals-faced beefcakes pummel each other and the band has their faces dripped in pixelated goop. It's only logical, sort of.
05 Raekwon – "Pyrex Vision"
Some of the clips on this employ the NSFW for gratuitous reasons, but clearly Raekwon's just striving for gritty reality in his ode to cooking crack in Corning. And as Hollywood's taught us time and again with New Jack City and American Gangster, only naked women cook crack. So this is just some germane, necessary nudity, here.04 Major Lazer – "Pon De Floor"
This may just look like some of the most acrobatic and colorfully eye-popping dancehall dry-humping ever set to film, but really Eric Wareheim is making a statement on the Jamaican ban of daggering. Maybe. Or maybe he's just getting really good at NSFW videos. Either way, this treatment for Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor" is perfecto, and if you don't learn something about how to treat your lover while watching it, you'll never know how to treat your lover.03 Girls – "Lust For Life" (XXX Edit)
"Lust For Life" is such a good jam that Girls could just keep rolling out new versions of videos for it and nobody would really complain. Which is pretty much exactly what happened. Especially when it came down to the Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell-directed "XXX Edit," starring Hunx and junk doubling as a flesh-toned microphone, and errant shots of topless ladies being lusty, living life, etc. Hunx says he'll do a sequel as long as Christopher will do a three-way, we say this is carefree nudity that captures some of the song's spirit, on top of also just being a very good song.
02 Matt & Kim – "Lessons Learned"
Everything you see here is real: Matt and Kim jump out of a van and stroll through Times Square in winter, in slow-mo, stripping until the cops are finally hipped to the fact that theirs are bare. The Taylor Cohen-directed clip even won an award! (The Woodie. Fitting.) Bonus points for the artists themselves stripping to the skin, and bonus-bonus for neither of their significant others being able to get jealous since they are their own significant others. Brilliantly planned.01 The Flaming Lips – "Watching The Planets"
This year, these guys were routinely making their stage entrances through psychedelically undulating (Flaming?) vaginal Lips. Because they were reborn, or something. Well those lips made an appearance in spirit, in this clip, where Wayne took a terrible old Truly Tasteless Joke — you spend nine months of your life trying to get out, and the rest of your life trying to get back in — to its illogical extreme. It's easy to get a NSFW stamp and score some pageviews by incorporating nudity by proxy, getting some hired guns (or here, some Craigslisters) to be filmed in the buff for you. But few have the balls to bare 'em themselves. To top this list, Wayne pulled out the biggest trump card of all. From his pants. "Killing the ego" indeed. (Or, inflating it. Depending on your angle. And his.) Congrats to Wayne and his coyne: you are tied at #1.

Some of the most interesting medals are those that are U.S. Navy related but not navy issues. One such medal is for the Kiel Canal grand opening of 1895. The Kiel Canal which was one of Kaiser Bill's pet projects, connects the North Sea and the Baltic Sea thus eliminating the need for ships to sail around the Jutland Peninsula. In a time when fancy military uniforms were the fashion, the grand opening of such an important canal was an event which Germany played to the hilt. Fourteen countries including the United States, sent fifty-one war ships to the grand opening ceremony held on June 20, 1895. As was often the case when the navy went cruising a medal was sure to follow. This was also a time when the US government had a balanced budget and so in order to insure that the US Navy would participate there was an organized fund drive by patriotic citizens to finance the trip. The medal illustrated here was issued to commemorate the fund raising for the trip. The 38 mm antique gold finished bronze medal is suspended from a pin back broach. The obverse has an allegorical woman holding an open book and an emblem of medicine and commerce. The reverse is inscribed "AWARDED FOR RECOGNIZED MERITORIOUS SERVICES TO THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC FOR INDUSTRIAL THRIFT FROM $200,000 FUND FOUNDED BY ASSOCIATED PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AMERICAN CREDIT MENS AND NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ASSN'S TO HELP CARRY THE STARS AND STRIPES OVER THE KIEL CANAL" within a shield shaped border. So who do you think got the medals? Why the fund raisers of course!

We had a lively debate on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday about the media's performance in covering the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre that left 20 elementary school children dead.
There was some genuine disagreement, especially between me and former CNN Washington bureau chief Frank Sesno about what is acceptable and what isn't when it comes to verification and fact-checking in such breaking news coverage.
In a piece I wrote Friday, I said that I feared we would act like we didn't have time for such gut-check conversations in this let's-just-move-on era of instant media -- as badly as that dialogue is needed.
Thanks to host Howie Kurtz and fellow panelists Sesno, and Lauren Ashburn, editor of the Daily Download, for the opportunity to explore some of the many issues involved.
"Reliable Sources" was part of CNN's live rolling coverage Sunday. Check out the video above.

The Waffle House is where fond memories are created by generations of family members who come to enjoy mouthwatering comfort food.
Since 1954, the Waffle House has always been filled with big families, seniors and kids all craving fresh, homemade-style cuisine.
This is one family-friendly restaurant that gets breakfast, lunch and dinner right. Naturally, the waffle are the main draw, but loyal clientele, who have been coming for decades, know that the Waffle House is so much more than that.
A year ago, brothers Robert, Roumel and sister Romina bought the landmark eatery.
They have kept up the tradition of offering more than 20 different waffles including; hot blueberry, raspberry, peaches, bacon and eggs, ham, to name just a few.
Meanwhile, the lunch hour business is brisk, and for good reasons.
The eatery's sandwiches and soups, for example, burst with flavour. The turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce are made using real cooked turkey breast - not deli meat.
But more than that, the mainstay restaurant is renowned for offering daily specials. Senior get to enjoy Seniors
Night on Monday, Tuesday and Wesnesday from 4-8 p.m. They can choose from either a free dessert or soup with the purchase of dinner entree, or they can order the $8.99 seniors special.
Thursday's dinner special changes weekly, offering such home style goodness as cabbage rolls, sheperds pie, meat loaf, or oven baked lasagna, to name just a few. Friday is Stirfry Fridays and Saturdays are beef stew night.
The diner offers up a nice, bright and cheery atmo- sphere and Robert credits its courteous and friendly staff for its loyal clientele.
You'll come back for the delicious fare but you'll be thrilled by the affordable prices.
P.S. Waffle House celebrates your birthday with one of its signature dessert...free.
Come and see why the Waffle House is a wonderful eatery to head to anytime of the day. The restaurant, located at 636 Sixth Street, seats 140 inside. Waffle House is open seven days a week for breakfast ( breakfast is served all day), lunch and dinner, except on Sundays, when it is only open for breakfast and lunch.

Marine mammal mass strandings have occurred for millions of years, but their origins defy singular explanations. Beyond human causes, mass strandings have been attributed to herding behaviour, large-scale oceanographic fronts and harmful algal blooms (HABs). Because algal toxins cause organ failure in marine mammals, HABs are the most common mass stranding agent with broad geographical and widespread taxonomic impact. Toxin-mediated mortalities in marine food webs have the potential to occur over geological timescales, but direct evidence for their antiquity has been lacking. Here, we describe an unusually dense accumulation of fossil marine vertebrates from Cerro Ballena, a Late Miocene locality in Atacama Region of Chile, preserving over 40 skeletons of rorqual whales, sperm whales, seals, aquatic sloths, walrus-whales and predatory bony fish. Marine mammal skeletons are distributed in four discrete horizons at the site, representing a recurring accumulation mechanism. Taphonomic analysis points to strong spatial focusing with a rapid death mechanism at sea, before being buried on a barrier-protected supratidal flat. In modern settings, HABs are the only known natural cause for such repeated, multispecies accumulations. This proposed agent suggests that upwelling zones elsewhere in the world should preserve fossil marine vertebrate accumulations in similar modes and densities.
1. Introduction
During the past approximately 50 Myr, marine mammals evolved in ocean ecosystems that have undergone global changes in sea level, temperature, productivity and ocean circulation [1–5]. Within this time frame, multiple marine mammal lineages evolved from trophic obscurity (i.e. terrestrial ancestry, with little influence on ocean ecosystems) to ecological dominance in marine food webs [6–10]. Understanding how marine mammals, such as cetaceans, pinnipeds and sirenians, ascended to become apex consumers in marine food webs [11] requires data from the fossil record. Palaeobiologists have used counts of fossil species [2,4,5,12] to outline evolutionary changes in richness at the scale of geologic time [13], especially during episodes of major climatic changes [3,4]. These latter studies investigated evolutionary causes and responses over protracted, diachronic time frames. However, testing ecological interactions requires diversity datasets from synchronic snapshots at specific scales that account for time-averaging, sampling density and other metrics of diversity, such as abundance [14]. This latter goal is a challenge because the marine mammal fossil record consists mostly of singleton occurrences [13] and not dense accumulations.
Obtaining ecological snapshots of large mobile predators such as marine mammals is logistically difficult because their life-history traits (e.g. long life, low fecundity, large range) have broad temporal and geographical parameters [6–9]. Palaeoecologists working with terrestrial mammal and marine invertebrate communities have discovered that sampling diversity with increased temporal- and spatial-averaging generates death assemblage datasets that compare well with living communities [15–18]. Recently, Pyenson [19,20] demonstrated that death assemblages of modern cetaceans (e.g. strandings) faithfully record ecological snapshots of living communities at temporal and spatial scales commensurate with their macroecology, which suggests that certain fossil assemblages might retain similarly faithful ecological data. Marine mammal mass strandings are well recorded in historical times [19,20], but the putative cases from the fossil record cannot be linked to a particular causal mechanism [21,22], especially without a better understanding of the taphonomic mechanisms that both preserve and prevent fossil marine mammal material from entering the sedimentary record [23]. Here, we describe an unusual accumulation of fossil marine vertebrates from the Late Miocene of Chile that provides unique insights into the mechanisms that preserve dense deposits of marine mammal material, and the oceanographic processes responsible for their origin.
2. Material and methods
(a) Locality
From 2010 to 2012, road expansion along the Pan-American Highway in Atacama Region of Chile (figure 1) opened a 20 × 250 m quarry at a site, called Cerro Ballena (27°02′31.51″ S, 70°47′42.18″ W), which revealed over 40 complete and partial marine mammal skeletons, along with isolated remains of other marine vertebrates. A road-cut stratigraphic profile of the site exposes approximately 9 m of fine to very fine-grained sandstones belonging to the Bahía Inglesa Formation [24–27], unconformably overlain by a Pleistocene transgressive–regressive marine terrace sequence [28]. Cerro Ballena is located too far north for stratigraphic correlation with other reported localities of the Bahía Inglesa Formation [28], or any recognized members that have been proposed previously ([26] and see the electronic supplementary material). Within approximately 8 m of the formation at Cerro Ballena, four different bone-bearing levels (Bone Levels 1–4; BL1–BL4) produced articulated and associated marine mammal fossils (figures 1 and 2). The quarry, which is now paved over, represents only a small portion of the fossiliferous levels, with geologic maps of the unit indicating a local aerial extent of approximately 2 km2 (see the electronic supplementary material).
(b) Geologic age
The general region surrounding Caldera contains fossiliferous marine sediments belonging to the Mio-Pliocene age Bahía Inglesa Formation [25], which has produced an extensive list of fossil marine vertebrates [26–28]. We did not find any biostratigraphically relevant invertebrate and microfossil indicators in strata at Cerro Ballena, although there were two biostratigraphically useful vertebrate fossils from Cerro Ballena that also occur in the Mio-Pliocene Pisco Formation of Peru: aquatic sloths (Thalassocnus) and sharks (Carcharodon). Isolated elements of aquatic sloths from Cerro Ballena are referred to the species Thalassocnus natans [29]. Both T. natans and Carcharodon hastalis from Cerro Ballena are correlated with the El Jahuay (ELJ) and Montemar Horizon (MTM) horizons in the Sacaco Basin of Peru [30]. In turn, this yields upper and lower bounds on the age of this unit of the Bahía Inglesa Formation at Cerro Ballena as 9.03–6.45 Ma, following [31] (see the electronic supplementary material). The overlap in stratigraphic range between these two taxa implies that the strata in Cerro Ballena were deposited at a time period in between the deposition of the ELJ and MTM horizons of the Pisco Formation. Thus, we infer a Late Miocene age (or Late Tortonian to Early Messinian stage) for the Bahía Inglesa Formation part of the section at Cerro Ballena, which coincided with a rise in sea level caused by transgressive–regressive cycling and tectonic subsidence along this part of the coastline [32].
(c) Depositional environment and sedimentology
In the road-cut section of the Bahía Inglesa Formation at Cerro Ballena, we measured a stratigraphic section, noted sedimentary structures and observed invertebrate trace fossils (figure 2a–c).
Sediment samples collected from BL1–4 were freshly excavated and covered in optically clear resin (Epo-Tek 301, Epoxy Technology, Billerica, MA, USA). Embedded samples were then cut and thin-sectioned for scanning electron microscopy and electron spectroscopy using an FEI Nova NanoSEM 600 under low vacuum with the gaseous analytical detector for imaging and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy detector (ThermoFisher) for geochemical analysis. Samples were either placed directly on carbon-tape or embedded in epoxy and thin-sectioned, and left uncoated for SEM and EDS characterization (see the electronic supplementary material, figure S1). Light microscopy was performed using an Olympus BX51 microscope with a Chameleon digital video camera.
(d) Capturing, processing and rendering three-dimensional digital datasets
Under time-sensitive and salvage circumstances, we documented in situ skeletal remains using three-dimensional digital tools, before they were collected for study and care at their repositories (see the electronic supplementary material). Photogrammetry and computer vision datasets for fossil rorquals were captured with 20 and 30 cm aluminium scale bars and metal markers (to assess line of sight and control for coverage quality) on a Canon 5D with multiple lenses, and geotagged using a Garmin Etrex GPS. We also used Munsell colour charts for colour calibration, accuracy and downstream correction in photography editing software packages. Raw digital datasets were processed into coherent models by aligning datasets, cleaning up noise and removing redundant data using Geomagic v. 2012, Polyworks v. 12.0 and Zbrush v. 4R3 for the very large dataset of MPC (Museo Paleontologico de Caldera) 677. Direct Dimensions, Inc. (Owings Mills, MD, USA) aligned the laser arm dataset using Geomagic, and the model was then retopologized using Zbrush for MPC 677, creating an orthogonal digital rendering from three-dimensional polygon data (figure 3). URC Ventures (Redmond, WA, USA) created orthogonal renderings from three-dimensional point cloud datasets (figure 4) by aligning and retopologizing point cloud data (see the electronic supplementary material, figure S2). The resultant three-dimensional datasets provided sub-centimetre accuracy, and full resolution texture-mapped imagery is available at http://cerroballena.si.edu.
3. Results and discussion
Taphonomic analysis of the site reveals several features that are directly comparable to modern marine mammal mass strandings. First, the site preserves multiple species of marine mammals, dominated by abundant skeletons (MNI = 31; table 1) of large baleen whales (clade Balaenopteridae or rorquals) that are likely all from the same species (see the electronic supplementary materials), and encompass a range of ontogenetic stages, from calves to mature individuals (figures 3 and 4). Other marine mammal species include: (i) at least two different phocid seals (Acrophoca, and a new morphotype); (ii) an extinct species of sperm whale (Scaldicetus morphotype); (iii) a walrus-like toothed whale (Odobenocetops) and (iv) an aquatic sloth (T. natans) (tables 1 and 2; see the electronic supplementary material, figures S3–S7). Second, we devised a simple, three-stage categorization to capture the range of marine vertebrate taphonomy at Cerro Ballena: (Stage 1) articulated, either completely or mostly; (Stage 2) disarticulated, but associated elements and (Stage 3) isolated, separated elements. Non-cetacean vertebrates consist of associated, semi-articulated and/or disarticulated skeletal material (Stages 2 and 3). By contrast, rorqual skeletons included many fully articulated, intact and nearly complete skeletons (Stage 1), along with disarticulated skeletons with low skeletal scatter (i.e. less than the distance of their body length; figure 3; table 2; and see the electronic supplementary material, tables S1–S11). Third, rose diagrams of the rorquals' skeletons long axis orientation (i.e. vertebral column) reveal that they are orthogonal to current flow in each level, analogous to body orientation patterns observed for some modern mass strandings ([33]; see the electronic supplementary material, figure S8 and table S4). Lastly, rorquals occur mostly ventral up, across all BLs (table 2). The dominance of ventral up carcasses, combined with their high articulation and long axis orientation, is a strong sign that they washed in dying or dead and were then buried [34,35].
The dominance of fossil rorqual skeletons at Cerro Ballena, across all bone-bearing levels, evokes a modern stranding event, whereby many individual cetaceans are beachcast, either dead or alive. Mass stranding events for socially gregarious species of toothed whales are well documented [36], but mass strandings for rorquals are rare. The most compelling analogue is a rorqual mass stranding of 14 humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) over the course of five weeks along approximately 50 km of coastline around Cape Cod, MA, USA in 1987–1988 [35]. This assemblage included males, females and one calf, whose necropsies showed no signs of trauma or predation. Tissue assays of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), from stomach contents, revealed high concentrations of saxitoxins, which are dinoflagellate neurotoxins. This evidence, along with the documented aberrant behaviour of one of the dying whales, and the geographical and temporal spans of the event, pointed to the previously unrecognized trophic transfer of major algal toxins. Since then, other cases of harmful algal blooms (HABs) involving marine mammals have been reported at similar geographical and temporal scales [37–41].
The assemblage at Cerro Ballena shares specific features with HAB-mediated mass strandings. These similarities help delimit the cause of death and the factors that have driven their concentration and preservation at this site. The presence of repeated, multispecies assemblages argues for a taxonomically broad death mechanism, such as HABs. The proximity of many specimens, including juvenile and adult rorqual skeletons in direct contact or few metres apart (figure 4c), along with different marine vertebrate taxa approximately 10 m apart, suggests strong post-mortem spatial focusing, prior to burial at each level (figure 1c). Intraspecific and interspecific taphonomic variation does not eliminate this possibility, as actualistic studies of catastrophic cetacean death assemblages show a wide variety of decay stages [42]. HAB-mediated mortalities at Cerro Ballena would also partly explain the absence of vertebrate scavenging and the absence of skeletal trauma [43]. The general completeness of rorqual skeletons, in contrast to the disarticulation of other marine vertebrates, reflects a size bias or temporal delay in scavenging, permitting more disarticulation and abrasion. Sharks represented by isolated teeth suggest attritional input or potential scavenging by-products (see the electronic supplementary material, figure S9). However, billfish remains (Xiphiidae and Istiophoridae) suggest that these large predatory consumers are similarly susceptible to HABs, a finding that has been reported in the modern world (see the electronic supplementary material). Isolated remains of aquatic sloths (T. natans) may reflect incidental, attritional input or actual HAB-mediated mortality based on extant HAB toxin transfers (i.e. inhalation) for modern herbivorous marine mammals [40]. Collectively, the taphonomy of Cerro Ballena indicates that repeated marine mammal mortalities were relatively rapid (hours to weeks in duration), geographically widespread and allochthonous (i.e. at sea). These latter traits are all consistent with HAB-related mortalities in the modern world, which show taphonomic signals that are temporally delayed and physically remote from their source [38,40,41,44].
The depositional environment in which vertebrate carcasses were buried was supratidal, based on ichnological and sedimentological evidence. We observed abundant traces of Psilonichnus, which typically occurs on supratidal flats, and Skolithos and Ophiomorpha, belonging to the Skolithos ichnofacies, also common to tidal flats (figure 2; see the electronic supplementary material, figure S10). In other parts of the fossil record, Psilonichnus has been interpreted as a crab trace fossil [45]. Given the unique food resource provided by marine mammal carcasses, it is not surprising to find scavenging traces on individual balaenopterid bones that we attribute to crabs (figure 2e,f). These short (approx. 1 cm), sharp and closely associated traces on the skull bones of MPC 662 are similar in trace morphology to those described for penguin bones from the Miocene of Argentina [46]. The lack of variation in grain size and scarcity of erosional surfaces in the section at Cerro Ballena further indicate a more or less constant sedimentation encompassing approximately 10–16 kyr of deposition, based on rates for modern tidal flats (see the electronic supplementary material). The preservation of delicate features resembling tufted algal mats (figure 2c, see [47] and the electronic supplementary material, figure S11) reflects rapid post-mortem replacement by iron oxides, and it also indicates the contemporaneous presence of algae and high iron concentrations, which promote algal growth in this depositional environment.
In terms of concentration mechanism, dead or dying marine vertebrates were delivered to south-facing embayment, protected from normal wave action by basement rocks and a barrier bar to the west (figure 1b). This interpretation is supported by the absence of north–south-oriented wave ripples (which should be present if this area had been directly exposed to Pacific Ocean waves) and the presence of low-angle planar cross-bedded sandstone at the top of the sequence, typical of a beach or berm (figure 2). Storm surges flooding the supratidal flats to a depth of about 1.5 m, as calculated from estimates of wind velocity, duration and fetch (see the electronic supplementary material), would have been sufficient to float the largest carcasses from the south, allowing hydraulic sorting to modally orient them at each level [48]. The absence of major disarticulation and limited skeletal scatter for any marine mammal skeleton further supports limited initial scavenging of floating carcasses, and rapid transit time (hours to days) between death at sea and coming to rest on a protected, supratidal flat. Such a shallow and mostly subaerial environment also excluded large marine scavengers. Equally, the surrounding desert environment (which already existed at the time) lacked sufficiently large terrestrial predators [49] that could dismember the largest of the carcasses.
Thus, the supratidal flat worked as a taphonomic trap [19], preserving carcasses that arrived during storms or spring tides in an excellent environment for decay in situ, mostly free of scavengers. As carcasses were buried under a relatively continuous rate of fine sediments, each mass stranding horizon yielded a discrete layer of skeletal remains. Sediment samples under light and scanning electron microscopy lacked distinct algal cell fragments (e.g. diatom frustules), but there were widespread approximately 5–10 μm spherical apatite grains encrusted in iron oxides (see the electronic supplementary material, figure S1), which could result from mineral replacement of non-siliceous algae (e.g. cyanobacteria) from coastal HABs. However, we cannot definitively confirm their biogenic source nor discriminate between their pre-depositional or post-depositional origins.
Alternative mass stranding death mechanisms lack modern analogues or fail to explain the full range of evidence at Cerro Ballena. For example, taxon-specific herding, breeding or stranding behaviours do not explain the full range of taxa at the site, which includes both pelagic and coastal species that do not inhabit supratidal environments (table 1). Tsunamis would have generated death assemblages lacking large body size selectivity (tables 1 and 2) and would result in high-energy sedimentary structures that are not present. Pandemic causes, such as morbillivirus, are not taxonomically broad, nor would it be parsimonious as a recurring mechanism over 10–16 kyr. Thus, all other alternative death mechanisms besides HABs fail to explain the iterative preservation of four bone-bearing levels.
The excavation quarry at Cerro Ballena yielded a density of associated, fossil marine mammal skeletons unrivaled elsewhere in the world. The density of individual cetacean specimens at Cerro Ballena, for example, is greater than other attritional deposits in the cetacean fossil record, including the Sharktooth Hill bonebed from the Middle Miocene of California [23] and the Eocene lagoonal deposits of Wadi Al-Hitan in Egypt [50]. The density of rorqual skeletons in BL1 (see the electronic supplementary material, table S12) alone is 10 times greater than associated, individual densities reported from the Mio-Pliocene Pisco Basin of southern Peru [51], which are preserved in distal, marine shelf environments, and notably lack multiple marine mammal species in close association (less than 10 m). Cerro Ballena is also surprising in its abundance of complete rorqual skeletons because baleen whale strandings are comparatively rare in the modern world. We propose that this ecological asymmetry arises from the shifted baseline of baleen whale abundances. In remote areas today, such as the Southern Ocean, there are examples of super-aggregations that are unusual by today's standards, but match historical and anecdotal accounts of baleen whale abundances prior to industrial whaling [52].
Evidence for HAB-mediated death assemblages of marine vertebrates in the fossil record is limited to only a few cases because of the difficulty in attributing HABs as a causal agent [53,54]. Modern analogues of marine mammal deaths caused by HABs outline a likely pathway that occurred repeatedly at this site during the Late Miocene. We propose that toxins, generated by HABs, poisoned multiple species of marine vertebrates, through ingestion of contaminated prey and/or inhalation, causing relatively rapid death at sea. Carcasses then floated towards the coastline, where they entered the estuary and were transported by locally generated, northward propagating storm waves into a restricted supratidal flat, where they were buried to the exclusion of major scavenging and disarticulation. This sequence was recorded four times during the deposition of sediment (approx. 10–16 kyr) at Cerro Ballena. The conditions that lead to this repeated phenomenon are tied to upwelling systems along westerly margins of continental coastlines [55]. Along the coast of western South America, ferruginous runoff from the Andes leads to increased iron in the ocean, which boosts productivity where iron is a limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth [55], while also promoting HABs (e.g. cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates [44]). The antiquity of these processes probably pre-dates modern tectonic configurations, although it has not been documented in the fossil record until now. We propose that upwelling systems, fuelled by iron-rich runoff, in other regions of the world will have similar, repeated accumulations of marine consumers [56].

By Peter Rudegeair
NEW YORK, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Convicted California serial
killer Rodney Alcala, a contestant on "The Dating Game"
television show more than 30 years ago, was sentenced to 25
years to life in prison on Monday for murdering two New York
women in the 1970s.
Alcala, 69, already on death row in California for killing
four women and a 12-year-old girl in that state, was extradited
to New York in June to face charges in the slayings of flight
attendant Cornelia Crilley, 23, and Ellen Hover, 23, the
daughter of a nightclub owner.
Known as "The Dating Game" killer because of his appearance
on the show, Alcala pleaded guilty to two counts of intentional
murder on Dec. 14.
Judge Bonnie Wittner choked back tears as she sentenced
Alcala to a concurrent 25 years to life in prison and described
his crimes as "an inexplicably brutal, horrible act" and the
most gruesome case she had dealt with in her three decades on
the bench.
Authorities will transport Alcala back to death row in
California, but should his murder convictions there be
overturned on appeal, he would be returned to New York to serve
out his sentence, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance told
reporters on Monday.
The cold case unit of the Manhattan district attorney's
office brought charges against Alcala last year after conducting
more than 100 new interviews with witnesses.
"Rodney Alcala is the face of evil. He has been responsible
for so much death, so much loss and unbearable pain," Assistant
District Attorney Alex Spiro told the court.
Alcala appeared in court wearing an orange prison jumpsuit
and grey hair that extended down past his shoulders. He declined
to address the court.
A professional photographer, Alcala lured his victims by
offering to take their pictures, according to authorities.
Crilley was found strangled in her Manhattan apartment in
1971. Hover's body was found in Westchester County, north of New
York City in 1977.
Dozens of members of the victims' families packed Wittner's
courtroom in Manhattan, many wearing stickers portraying
black-and-white images of Crilley and Hover.
"You broke my parents' heart. They never really recovered,"
Crilley's sister Katie Stigell told the court. "It saddens me to
think that that pretty smile of hers, you were the last one to
see it."
Hover's death caused her estranged brother to become
addicted to drugs and commit suicide and caused her mother to
drink alcohol excessively to the point of developing dementia
which slowly killed her, Hover's sisters Charlotte Rosenberg and
Victoria L. Rudolph said in a statement that Spiro read at the

Posted on 11/03/2005 6:14:24 AM PST by 84rules
A new ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is prompting cries of judicial activism.
On Wednesday the court dismissed a lawsuit brought by California parents who were outraged over a sex survey given to public school students in the first, third and fifth grades.
Among other things, the survey administered by the Palmdale School District asked children if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex."
The parents argued that they -- not the public schools -- have the sole right "to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex."
But on Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit dismissed the case, saying, "There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children...Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."
Judge Stephen Reinhardt, writing for the panel, said "no such specific right can be found in the deep roots of the nation's history and tradition or implied in the concept of ordered liberty."
"Anyone who wonders why pro-family organizations like ours have been so concerned about activist courts only has to look at this case," said a spokesman for Focus on the Family.
Carrie Gordon Earll, an issues analyst with Focus on the Family Action, called the ruling "one of the most abhorrent examples of judicial tyranny in American history.
"The 9th Circuit did more than rule against parents who were upset that their elementary-school-aged children were being asked explicit questions about sex in class. They told all parents they have no right to protest what public schools tell their children."
Earll said the court essentially declared parenthood unconstitutional.
"It's long been the liberal view that it takes a village to raise a child -- but never before have the 'villagers' been elevated, as a matter of law, above mothers and fathers.
"Every parent in America should shudder at this decision -- liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican," Earll said.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is the same court that struck down the Pledge of Allegiance in 2002 because of the phrase "under God."
Copyright © 1998-2005 CNSNews.com - Cybercast News Service
What about private schools?
No mention of private schools. But the ruling makes clear that the court considers the public school system to be the highest authority and all must bow down before it.
I wonder why not?
If the parents have no right to control the content of education then the government should have no right to force them to pay for it. It is taxation without representation, the stuff of revolution if History serves.
9th circus court of liberals strikes again.
Utter BS.
I hope this can be appealed to SCOTUS, and they accept. This is utter, liberal, homophilic, abortophilic nonsense.
I don't get it. Abortion is covered by the right to privacy, but asking little kids about their sexual thoughts isn't?
";......Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the interrogations to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."
Schools should be about learning Math, English, Science, etc. Anthing else is out of line and over the line. No wonder our kids are behind so much. They go to school to learn and all they get is thiss B___t. That is NOT the right of the school to ask these questions. It is NOT right. That kind of thing should be addressed in the home at the proper time. This is nonsense at its fullest and it's time this is addressed and resolved. What in the hell is the matter with this court anyway? I'd pull my kids out of there in a heartbeat at the first sign of anything like that in schools. No way..no how would I EVER submit my kids to this kind of garbage. And that's exactly what it is...garbage.
Maybe a lot of people can pulll their kids out and send them elsewhere but...what of those who cannot? They are being held captive and it's not the American way!
Yesterday's thread:
Court says parents not sole providers of kids' sex education
Well... as long as people such as myself SINGLE RENTERS are paying the transfer payments to the democratic babymachinemakers' edumacation, we should have absolutely no say in the deal. I mean... a 30-year-old, 100 pound female takes up so much more of the public school system than the babymamas' 12 chil'en and should therefore get the gov't to stick a pipe into our wallets for them. THAT'S FAIR.
Public schools and the courts sink even further into the mire.
Just when you think they can't go any lower...
We've got to figure out a way to sue such idiots for 100 million dollars each, or something. Judicial activism like this should be a felony, or treason, or a crime against humaninty, or something.
They need accountability, and if they step over the line, they should regret it. I'm not satisfied with a simple reversal - they should be de-frocked.
Explain the activism? The judges are saying that the constitution does not explicitly state that parents have some rights.
The legislature has passed a law, the the judges are saying that, absent that law being unconstitutional, they are going to enforce the law.
Shouldn't we be fighting to change the law, or are we saying that the justices should find an unenumerated constitutional right of parents to control what their children learn in school?
I have mixed feelings about this, but I would like to understand how this is activist.
The parents can elect representatives that will change the laws and change the curriculum. The court is saying that individual parents don't have the constitutional right to pick and choose what a school teaches their children.
I assume they have the right to take their children out of public school, and put them in private school or home-school.
If we keep getting rulings like this, it should help the push for vouchers, which are the real solution. We will NEVER get public schools to cater to the whims of all parents, I bet that even among conservatives we would have a huge fight over prayer in schools and teaching evolution, for example.
Vouchers meet the need for universal access to schooling, without forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
No mention of the Hatch Amendment?
Since I believe mathematics to be the tool of the Devil I object to it being taught to children.
We need to break up the 9th circuit - remember these are democrat values. The dems can hide but they cant run from the people who love them but hate families, children, christians, and values.

WASHINGTON – After Barack Obama publicly took the oath of office for his second term on Monday, he strongly defended the ideology of his party as he urged Americans to accept compromise as a path toward solving the nation's problems.
"Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time," Obama said shortly after taking the oath from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. "Decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate."
Just over 18 minutes -- relatively short by historical standards -- the address hit several major policy priorities that Obama hopes to pursue.
PHOTOS: President Obama's second inauguration
For the first time ever, an inaugural address mentioned the rights of gay Americans, as Obama declared that America's "journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

Help Your Patients Take a Stand Against Work-Related Foot Problems
By Mark Charrette, DC
Prolonged standing is associated with an increase in frequency of distal lower pain symptoms, most notably in the lower leg or calf, and the ankle or foot for both men and women.1Fortunately, evidence suggests work fatigue and musculoskeletal symptoms in the same areas can be significantly decreased with the use of flexible, shock-absorbing shoe inserts.Even in patients with no need for specific foot or back treatments, supportive insoles can improve energy levels at work and help reduce subjective reports of tiredness.
The NYC Police Study
Researchers from the Division of Orthopedics at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine were interested in studying working-class people who spent considerable portions of the day on their feet. They found that police officers – most of whom wore stiff-soled work boots – made excellent subjects for testing the effects of wearing shoe inserts during their workday.2
One hundred twenty-two New York City police officers were recruited for this study. Each officer wore semi-custom, flexible insoles for five weeks, for an average of seven hours per day. Subjects walked an average of three miles per day for the duration of the study. The officers were all in good health, and any who were currently receiving treatment for back, leg or foot problems were excluded from the study.
The insoles used in this investigation were made with elastomeric polymers and were semi-custom, in that they were designed for either low-arched, normal-arched,or high-arched feet. Responses to questionnaires collected before and then after the five-week study were used to quantify the officers' foot problems and symptoms, and their satisfaction levels, in order to measure the effects of the supportive insoles.
Study Results
Before the study began, one-fifth of the police officers reported that they regularly experienced foot pain or discomfort at the end of their workday; 15 percent had calluses, corns or athlete's foot; 18 percent had sought treatment for a foot problem in the past; and 20 percent had worn foot orthotics at some point previously. After five weeks of wearing the semi-custom insoles, there was a significant reduction in tiredness in the feet at the end of the day, with 68 percent reporting less foot discomfort. At the end of the study, 70 percent of the officers said they planned to continue wearing the insoles. The shock-absorbing insoles were found to be very comfortable, and they significantly helped decrease both fatigue and foot symptoms at work, as well as after the work shift was over for the day.
Additional Research
A similar study demonstrated lower oxygen consumption and improved energy levels in healthy women who were fitted with flexible orthotics and tested on a treadmill.3 During walking, their heart rates and blood pressures were consistently lower than the control group, which did not receive shoe inserts. In this study, the inserts were built based on a "weight-bearing, functional position" image of the foot, and included support for the medial longitudinal arch.
Other clinical studies include one by Voloshin and Wosk of special interest to doctors of chiropractic.4 They found that viscoelastic shoe inserts significantly reduced reported pain levels in patients with low back pain. Another relevant report comes from Denmark, where a controlled study on soccer referees participating in a five-day tournament found "The incidence of soreness in Achilles tendon, calf, and back were significantly reduced by the use of shock-absorbing heel inserts."5
However, it has since been noted that placing shock absorption under the heel increases the mechanical loads in the anterior part of the foot during walking.6 This suggests the most effective insoles take advantage of the newer viscoelastic materials in a full-length, with shock absorption extending into the forefoot.
Standing and walking on concrete and other types of rigid flooring during working hours is a significant source of both foot discomfort and spinal complaints. The best materials for work insoles are the viscoelastic polymers, a group of man-made materials specifically created to improve on our body's ability to dissipate shock stress to sensitive and easily damaged tissues, according to G.R. Johnson, a mechanical engineer.7 Johnson tested four different types of shoes and nine insoles of various materials for magnitude of shock absorption and reported, "Statistically significant reductions of shock factor were noted in 58% of cases," with a synthetic viscoelastic-based insole providing the most shock reduction.
Whether it is considered a workplace improvement, a wellness initiative, injury prevention, or simply providing needed support for the weight-bearing musculoskeletal system, orthotics should be considered for everyone who spends a large part of their day standing and walking on concrete, asphalt, or rigid flooring.

TMZ.com passed this along.
Hulk Hogan's sex tape will STAY ON THE INTERNET … at least for the foreseeable future — because a judge has just denied the wrestler's bid to yank it from the web ASAP.
You'll recall, Hulk sued Gawker for $100 million for publishing his sex tape — and filed a preliminary motion demanding Gawker take the tape down immediately, while the case makes its way through the court system.
But today, a judge refused to order Gawker to do squat — ruling Hulk failed to prove the website wasn't within its First Amendment rights to post the video in the first place.
Moreover, the judge wrote, "This is an example of where the proverbial 'cat is out of the bag'" … i.e. everyone on the planet's already seen the tape, so it's too late to protect Hulk's privacy.
That said, the judge could still decide to order Gawker to remove the tape if Hulk were to win the case at the end of the day.
But after today's order, it doesn't look good …
