Here is my feed-back for the visit to Praxis Dr. Kaminski at Dr. Michael Wenders: I have been awaited for that visit as scheduled. I was received in profesional manner, being asked about my medical status. Then, the medical consultation followed in which I received informations about my topic and specific investigations where performed. Based on these, a medical treatement was discussed. I am very good impressed about this visit. Thank you for helping me having it. Best regards, Radu
Ward was good. As for the doctor, I saw him very little. Consultation took exactly one minute. The anesthesiologist and the head nurse are very pleasant people, smiling, caring and kind. Coordinator Zhenya is also a very good girl. In touch with her so far. Of the minuses- Because of the heavy workload, you have to wait a long time. We waited for the consultation and the dressing and the operation itself. And the house too, until it is free. I cannot say anything about the result of rhinoplasty, too little time has passed. I can say one breath much better. At the expense of the aesthetic side, we will see later.
Everything was fine. The operation was sucessful and now I'm recovering and the staff is taking great care of me.
The clinic is good, credible. Separately, thanks to Dr. Vedat Gural. No extra tests were prescribed after endoscopy. Prescribed treatment. Special thanks to him, for attention and professionalism. The clinic attended 2.05.19. Kulinich V.V.
Good day ! After almost half a year I am writing a review. The level and quality of medicine, I can not adequately assess, as I am just a client (someone came up with the name of the patient, which I personally do not like). So, I had an operation. On the heart. The diagnosis was atrial fibrillation. Made an Ablation. How did - I do not know. I hope at the proper level. But! Feedback. This is a conveyor. You with your medical problems / diagnoses get on the conveyor. I do not know whether this is good or bad - but it is. I had a surgery very quickly - for which I am grateful. Further. Extract from the clinic. The doctor had a conversation with me (through an interpreter) for 3 minutes before the operation and 5-10 minutes after the operation (after 2 days of re-discharge). And that's all. My questions are what to do next (what predictions, recommendations, etc. I have not received an answer). The next day (the day of discharge from the clinic), the nurse / doctor's assistant arrived and presented the discharge report in German. To the question whether it is possible in English, I received the answer that it is possible, but contact the translators. Like this. Still. I waited for more than 2 hours for a prescription for the purchase of medications prescribed to me (for a purchase at pharmacies in Germany). And this after repeated reminders. I have not received any recommendations regarding the observation of the passage / consequences of the operation. As a result, I was forced through the Internet to look for possible subtleties / complications after my operation. Then, after 20 days, I had a relapse - a long-term arrhythmia over the course of 4 days. I found it myself through a Garmin wrist pulse detector. As a result, I bought the device for ECG registration and with the help of it I independently registered this fact of relapse. Further, through the Internet, I realized that it is permissible with my diagnosis for a period of up to 3 months after the operation. Now, six months later (without a week), I have no arrhythmias. It seems that the operation in Hamburg I did right. But the rest ... Another important fact. At the entrance I was promised a price of 22,000 euros with a deposit of 2,000 euros, which is refundable if there are no complications during the operation. So, as of today 2019-05-22, this deposit was not returned to me. Despite the fact that I was very tolerant in this matter - I did not demand, I did not pester ... This is a note for future customers of this clinic. Feel free to write off this amount of the so-called deposit on expenses. Such a marketing course of German clinics. I understand that for me and for the majority of clients of (international) clinics, this 2,000 euros means nothing on the total amount of the costs of treatment and imposes on health ... But... Personally, I do not like it. I have something to compare. In 2007, I was treated in Israel. Result by all parameters 5 +++ Here in Germany at 3 --- I do not take into account the medical aspect - here it is difficult for me to be an adequate evaluator.

There have been a few reports of folks having their lineup removed.
I'm pretty sure what's happening is Tribune is deleting a lineup and creating a one with a similar (or the same) name instead of updating the existing lineup. When the lineup-id is removed, the lineup is gone from your account.
We're trying to get advance notice when this occurs. If we detect you're affected, we'll send you an email.

Opening Day at Historic Yale Field is Saturday at 2 p.m.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Historic Yale Field will raise its gates on its 86th season as the home field for the Yale University baseball team on Saturday afternoon, as the Bulldogs will play host to Holy Cross for a pair of doubleheaders this weekend that will open the 2013 home schedule.
The first pitch of the first game in the four-game series is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday. The two teams will play a pair of doubleheaders this weekend. Sunday's doubleheader will begin at 1 p.m. at Yale Field.
Senior captain Chris Piwinski will lead a Yale squad that includes 16 returning players from the group that finished 13-31-1 last season, with a fourth-place finish (5-15) in the Ivy League's Rolfe Division. The Bulldogs' roster includes seven new players, including five freshmen and two players that joined the team after spending time on Yale's football team in junior Jake Semones and sophomore Charles Cook.
John Stuper is in the midst of his 21st season as the head baseball coach at Yale. The all-time winningest head coach in the 148-year history of Yale baseball, Stuper enters this weekend with 396 career victories in the Bulldogs' dugout.
Both teams enter the weekend after struggling through the first few weeks of the season. Yale is a combined 1-9 after eight games in Florida and a pair of games at 11th-ranked Virginia. Holy Cross is 2-13 after four games against three opponents at Virginia Tech, three games at the University of Nevada and six more games in California. This weekend's series will give both teams their first taste of games in the chilly spring weather of the Northeast.
Yale's Live Stats game-tracker for all four games can be found on YaleBulldogs.com.
About Yale
Yale enters the weekend with a 1-9 overall record following the eight-game spring break trip to Florida and a pair of losses at No. 11 Virginia. The Bulldogs currently hold a team batting average of .237 with sophomore Eric Hsieh leading the team with a .370 average. Hsieh leads the team with 10 hits, all singles, and a .393 on-base percentage.
Sophomore second baseman David Toups is leading the Bulldogs with five RBIs and five runs scored. He also leads the team in total bases (12).
Toups and Green Campbell are both carrying a three-game hitting streak into the series with Holy Cross.
Freshman right-hander Chris Moates is leading the team with a 0.00 ERA in five relief appearances, with one save in 8.2 total innings, while junior starting pitcher Rob Cerfolio (0-2) currently owns a 2.19 ERA in two starts.
About Holy Cross
The Crusaders have not played since a pair of losses at St. John's on March 16 (8-3) and March 17 (12-8).
With the two losses, Holy Cross fell to 2-13. The Crusaders own victories over Temple (8-6, Feb. 24) and St. Louis (11-5, March 10), but they have lost 10 of their last 11 games.
The Crusaders own a .273 team batting average. Andrew Barry leads the team with a .382 average. Evan Ocello is leading Holy Cross in slugging (.569) and on-base percentage (.484). Ocello also holds team-highs in RBIs (15), runs scored (13), doubles (5), stolen bases (5) and total bases (29).
The Holy Cross pitching staff has struggled through the first 15 games of the season. No pitcher on the staff owns an ERA lower than 6.66 other than relievers Jeremy Perron (4.70) and Josh Hauser (0.00). Hauser has allowed three unearned runs in three relief appearances. The entire pitching staff has allowed opposing batters to record a .342 batting average while allowing 32 doubles, seven triples, and 11 home runs in 15 games.
All-Time Series/Last Meeting
The two teams have met 114 times 1895. Overall, Yale owns a 48-64-2 record against the Crusaders. After taking a two-year hiatus after the 2006 season, the two teams have met five times since the 2009 season. Yale is 2-3 in those five games, including a 5-4 win in 12 innings last season.
In the come-from-behind win last year, Yale trailed 3-0 after three innings before racing ahead with a four-run fifth inning. The Crusaders tied the game in the top of the sixth inning, and the game remained tied at 4-4 until Jacob Hunter belted a game-winning RBI double with one out in the 12th inning.
Hunter's extra-inning heroics were made possible only by a strong showing by the Yale bullpen. After falling behind 3-0 after three innings, four Yale relievers combined to hold Holy Cross to just one run, two hits and eight base runners the rest of the way over the final nine innings.
Hunter had a triple and two doubles with two RBIs to power the Bulldogs' offense. Cale Hanson earned the win after two hitless innings of relief. He also had three hits. Kevin Fortunato and senior captain Ryan Brenner each added two hits.
Brandon Cipolla homered for Holy Cross.
Last Time Out
Yale was shut out for the first time this season thanks to a 10-0 loss at No. 11 Virginia in the final game of a two-game set in Charlottesville, Va.
Eric Hsieh went 3-for-4 in the loss, while freshman Brent Lawson went 2-for-4 with a double. The Bulldogs collected seven hits, but of their nine base runners in the game, only two reached third, and the Bulldogs could not get the key hit to drive them home.
Five Virginia pitchers combined on the shutout, with starter Josh Sborz (2-0) earning the win after allowing four hits with four strikeouts in three innings of work. Yale starter Michael Coleman (0-2) allowed just three hits and two runs in his two innings of work. Chris Moates and Cale Hanson both pitched well in relief. Moates allowed two hits and one unearned run in two innings, while Hanson tossed 1⅓ inning of scoreless relief.
Next Up
Yale will travel to Queens, N.Y., to take on Michigan at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. The Wolverines are currently 9-10 after a 5-3 loss to Western Illinois on Friday. Michigan will play a doubleheader against Western Illinois prior to facing the Bulldogs on Tuesday.
This will be the ninth all-time meeting between Yale and Michigan, but it is the first meeting bwteen the two schools since 1989. The Bulldogs are 3-5 against the Wolverines, including wins in 1891, 1901, and 1905. Michigan has won the last four meetings, including two in 1983 and two in 1989.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - After sweeping the doubles competition, the Tennessee Tech men's tennis team won five of six singles matches to take a 6-1 win over Southern Illinois on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Tech women's team had its 2010 season opener spoiled with a 6-1 loss to the Salukis.
Arturo Santa Ruize and Oscar Pachon paired to take down Jordan Snyder and Pavlo Buryi, 8-4, at No. 3 doubles before Josh Girling and Nicholas Staffard secured a point for the Golden Eagles with an 8-6 win No. 1 doubles.
Tech then won the first five finishes in the singles competition en route to capturing a five-point win.
Girling got things started with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Mpilo Migogo at No. 2 singles before Justin Kirstein (No. 3; 7-6, 6-1), Santa Ruize (No. 6; 6-0, 7-6) and Stafford (No. 4; 6-4, 6-4) followed with straight sets victories.
It took three sets for Alex Chen to dispose of Brandon Florez in No. 1 singles (6-3, 1-6, 6-4), while Oscar Pachon fell in a three-set battle against Falk De Beenhouwer at No. 5 singles.
The win improves Tech's record to 2-1 in the dual-match season and gives the Golden Eagles a two-match winning streak going into their next match against No. 57 Middle Tennessee State. That competition is scheduled for Tuesday, February 23 in Nashville..
On the women's side, the Golden Eagles fell behind early as the Salukis secured the doubles point on wins at No. 2 and No. 3. Tech's tandem of Frederike Kahl and Victoria Cran won at No. 1 doubles to improve their record as a team to 4-1, including fall tournaments.
TTU never got on track in the singles competition as SIU won the first four matches to secure the team victory. Leydi Zora fell at No. 1 (6-1, 6-1), while Diana Woodcock (No. 2; 6-4, 6-0), Laura Porras (No. 3; 7-5, 6-3) and Kahl (No. 5, 6-0, 6-3) were also downed in straight sets.
Cran gave Tech its lone point of the day as she defeated Anastacia Simons at No. 4 singles (6-1, 7-5), while Katie Barnhill lost the only three-set match of the day at No. 6 singles.
The women's team returns to action on Saturday, February 27 when the Golden Eagles open OVC play against Jacksonville State in Cookeville.

HBP Appearance?
Was Binns in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- Just checked it out and it appears that he wasn't. -Smonocco 12:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
He is not mentioned per name but all Hogwarts ghosts should have attended Dumbledores funeral, so I think he must have been there. Harry granger 19:41, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
Grading papers
how does he grade papers —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 29 July 2009.
- Good question. I don't think JKR has ever commented on this issue. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- In the 1st HP film, the Grey Lady is seen writing with a quill in the Transfiguration classroom, maybe Binns applies the same method 18.104.22.168 19:49, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
- And one would also note that Nearly-Headless Nick received from Sir Podmore of the Headlss Hunt, so it would seem that ghosts can use instruments of writing, somehow. ProfessorTofty 22:53, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
Binns in LEGO Harry Potter
Is Binns in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4? If so, could anyone take a screenshot of the teacher? We could put it as the infobox picture or include it in the article, as there are not many images of him. Thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 11:16, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
Bumping. Yes, he is. He can be found on the Grand Staircaise. --Rodolphus 09:08, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
Bumping--Rodolphus 09:20, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
Bumping--Rodolphus 11:29, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Done -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:49, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
I've putted a new picture of Professor Binns, I think is more adequate than the other one, btw, couldn'nt find a picture of him on LEGO HP Y 1-4 but found him in the game, don´t remenber where. Ptsimpson 01:36, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
Where is the new image from? In my opinion. it looks like fannon.--Rodolphus 09:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
it is fannon, there aren´t any official, found it on google and I tnink if there isn't any official choose one that anyone can relate to what they imagined Ptsimpson 13:07, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
- The image we have on the article is official as it's from the video game adaptation of Chamber of Secrets. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 13:11, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
- I know but that one doesn´t really give an idea of what he might look like, if you want the other back Ptsimpson 16:52, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
- We cannot use the other one, since it's not from a canonical source. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 17:18, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
- There is a ghost in the Philosopher's Stone played by Arnaud Adam. He has also a beard like the lego Binns. Could he perhaps be Prof. Binns. It was when all the ghosts come to the welcoming feast for the students. I found it on this site: http://www.psychoengine.com/pages/autographs/harrypotter/HARRYPOTTERautos.html Harry granger 22:20, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
This seems likely, given Aurora and Septima were bades on actors.--Rodolphus 08:42, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
- All the ghosts that appear in the Philosopher's Stone film have medieval clothes. Binns, on the other hand, has a more modern-looking suit. Also, the pictures of the ghost played by Arnaud Adam do not resemble Binns at all: Arnaud has a large feathered hat, Binns doesn't; Arnaud has long hair, Binns is bald; Arnaud has a short black beard, Binns has a long white beard. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:28, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
Another thought: In the Prisoner of Azkaban film, there is an unidentified ghost walking through the students. If I remember correctly, it was balding. Could it have been him?--Rodolphus 09:51, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Could you upload an image of him, or mention the scene? Thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 10:13, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
I can´t upload an image. It´s in the third film, after the start-of-term-feast, when the fat Lady is trying to sing. Fortuna Major - she finally opens. - the Gryffindor students enter, straight through an unidentified ghost.--Rodolphus 10:20, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- I think this is the ghost you are refering to. I doubt he is Binns, as he has no glasses nor beard, but it could be.
--El Profeta Vespertino 10:38, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
Right. My memory was wrong. We could create Unidentified ghost (I), couldn´t we?--Rodolphus 10:41, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
During the wait in line for the Forbidden Journey at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Harry and Ron are heard talking about Binns. I think the quote sums him up pretty well and could be used for the opening of the article:
- Harry Potter: "The point is, Professor Binns is very, very boring. Which is understandable, because he's ..."
- Ron Weasley: "Dead?"
- Harry Potter: "Yeah."
- — Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley[src]
Thoughts? --Parodist 19:44, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
That sounds pretty good. i am harry potter 16:33, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
Official Death Year
Where was it stated that he died c. 1991? --KiumaruHamachi 15:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
Participation in the Hogwarts battle
From the article:
"1997-1998 school year
It is possible that Professor Binns took part in the Battle of Hogwarts against the Death Eaters during the 1997–1998 school year. "
How could he have taken part as a ghost? Ghosts can't affect the real world, they can't cast spells or do anything useful.22.214.171.124 07:01, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
He can, however, use the knowledge he have from his living days as a wizard to advise the actual fighters on strategy and fly through DE and distract them from attacking people with that cold-shower-like feeling.
Citations Needed!
This is a lovely article, and most of it consists of things we know to be true or can infer from other sources, but the whole bit about his childhood and life in general seem a little bit like fanon to me...or am I mistaken? Regardless, there is only one citation in the entire article, and I would like to see a little bit more evidence to support the assumptions here. TheBeast314 22:33, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
- The most obscure facts from his life (i.e. his father or that he lived in the 17th century) come from the GBC version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 22:49, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying, as I have not played that game I didn't know. I still feel that this article could use a few more citations, or a note in "Behind the Scenes" explaining where all the info comes from. TheBeast314 17:36, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
Hm, in the infobox is written: White beard. But on this new image from Pottermore I can't see a beard. Is there really a beard or belongs this to the previous image? Harry granger Talk contribs 13:01, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
Note how Professor Binns covers nothing later than the 19th century - the 1800s. Why is this? Is it that he died in that time and that, being as detached as he was never bothered to update them? Or is there some other reason? Is there any contradiction in canon against a nineteenth-century death? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 17:06, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Not true. The first year History of Magic exam, for instance, covers the invention of the Self-Stirring Cauldron, which could only have happened a couple of decades earlier. Rather, Binns primarily covers events pre-20th century because that's what the premier textbook on the subject, A History of Magic, covers. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 17:14, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Is there any information on Binns' life or death at all in canon, apart from that he fell asleep in front of the fire? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 17:23, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
- The video games say (or so I am told by a trustworthy source) that Cuthbert lived in the seventeenth century. But look at the clothes worn in those days and contrast them to Binns' outfit on Pottermore, the highest source of canon. They look nothing alike, in my opinion. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 17:42, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
Should we use the ghost or the Hogwarts employee infobox?
As he still teaches, we should use the Hogwarts one, shouuldn´t we?--Rodolphus (talk) 12:47, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
- Whilst he is still a ghost, I agree with you that the Hogwarts one would be better, because he was so dedicated to his job that he continued to teach for quite some time after his death. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:54, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
- It was I who changed the infobox from Hogwarts staff to the ghost one. I did it for the sole reason that the ghost one allows for the proper visualisation of Binns' semi-transparent pic, since it has a dark background. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:36, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
In the films
Obviously the South Wales Echo is not a defining source with regards to Harry Potter canon, but I thought that this might be interesting to some. In today's paper, Binns was identified with the ghost from Prisoner of Azkaban. -- Saxon 11:54, August 30, 2014 (UTC)
Binns is also mentioned in the script of Prisoner of Azkaban. I think we should at least mention the image you uploaded on the BTS section.--Rodolphus (talk) 12:55, August 30, 2014 (UTC)
- I think that may have to do with the fact that a Google Images search for "Cuthbert Binns" will produce that picture (it may have something to do with the fact that the Spanish Harry Potter Wiki uses it in their Cuthbert Binns article). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 18:12, August 30, 2014 (UTC)
Mention in Nymph
From what I understand, the nymph article (or at least the image of it) does not mention Professor Binns. It mentions the Professor who may have been the insspiration. Have I overlooked anything? Is Professor Bnns directly mentioned on another page?--Rodolphus (talk) 14:02, December 1, 2017 (UTC)

The makers of Scenes of A Sexual Nature, out in November, are not just hoping it's a hit in the box office – they are also testing a new online distribution model which they say could help independent and low-budget films.
Ed Blum, the film's director, and Suran Goonatilake, the investor behind Blum's production firm Tinpanfilms, hope the system will reduce distributors' control and give private investors more of a say in how movies are marketed and where revenues end up.
Dubbed 'The Really Honest Little Distribution Company', their firm will handle the distribution process, while a collection agency will be used to allocate the film's takings. If it proves a success, they plan to offer their service to other smaller productions.
Social networking agency Rareface has also been recruited to manage an online PR and marketing campaign using the likes of Myspace and YouTube, through which it plans to learn best practices and replicate similar campaigns for other movie releases.
The film's makers are nothing if not ambitious. It attracted an A-list cast including Ewan McGregor and took six weeks to complete, despite its budget totalling less than £500,000. We spoke to them about their plans.
How did you end up at the decision to distribute the film yourselves?
Ed: One of the things about this film is that it is all private investment. I approached Suran and gave him an outline of what I was trying to do, and he came in with an investment.
If one of the big studios had picked up on the film we would almost definitely have gone with them. We had offers from what I would call some middle-ranking and smaller distribution companies, but the offers that were put on the table, we looked at and thought they were crazy.
Everyone said to me, all the way through the making of the film, that it would be impossible to get an A-list cast, to finish the film on its budget and very difficult, if not impossible, to distribute the film ourselves. But we sat down and said that in keeping with the spirit of the film, it would be better if we did that.
We set up a virtual distribution company, appointed a head of marketing and head of publicity, and because the film-makers are distributing the film, there was a whole energy to the process. We were also introduced to Rareface, because one of the things from the beginning was that we really wanted to do much of the marketing online.
So, basically, you are cutting distributors out of the value chain?
Ed: For me, it's fascinating because one of the key things distributors used to tell you is that you don't know about marketing, you don't know how the market works, and won't be able to reach the audience without a specialised distribution company behind you.
But in fact, with social networking, if you get it right and generate enough buzz, there's no reason why you can't raise the profile of your film, and not just in your country. We haven't signed any US distribution deal yet, so if this kicks off we could start raising the profile of a small budget film internationally, and all from a small office in the centre of London.
If we do get this right, we've made a film with private investment, and any film-maker can do that. We've made it with no public money, or any of the large studios, and now we are going to distribute the film using a very innovative model.
If it comes off, it could be a really fascinating example for other film-makers. Other film-makers with low budget films have traditionally had to go to a distributor to raise their profile. There are famous examples of online marketing like The Blair Witch Project and Snakes on a Plane, but they had big studios behind them.
What does this mean for investors?
Ed: If this becomes a success, instead of lawsuits happening in years to come where actors and investors try to get money out of distribution companies, all the money from any revenues, be it box money, DVD or TV sales, goes into a collection agency and immediately is spread out to anybody that is part of that collection agreement. Anyone involved will be able to go immediately online and see what is happening to their percentage.
Suran: Distribution companies are notorious for being opaque about the money they collect. But with what we have done here, the structure is very transparent and the system allows you to share distribution.
If you take it from a production point of view, because of digital cameras, the cost of making films has being going down, but when it comes to distribution it is still very hard. The distribution networks are very controlled and it's very difficult for them not to be risk-averse. But we've taken it head on, and said if you have the talent and passion, anyone can distribute a film. All the models and established systems are breaking down, whether it's music or film or TV.
Ed: The revenues do not come into our distribution company – so it's not up to us to spread out the profits, it goes into a collection agency first. The normal distribution model is that the distributors normally get their distribution and ad spending back first, but the people who put money into the film before it was made, who took the biggest risk, are way down the line.
With our model, the people who took the most risk, and put their money in first, get their money back first. The people who put their money into distribution and advertising are at an advantage as they can see the film and their risk is lower.
What interest have you had from other film-makers?
Ed: The British film-making community is very small. I've given one talk already to new film-makers and word has already got round. We've been approached already by several producers who want to sit down and talk to us about how it works. We are still looking at all sorts of new approaches, especially with social networking, but we're very happy to sit down with people and tell them how it's done.
It's a fascinating way to go, because with any art form – be it music, TV or cinema – there are normally a lot of people that can't do risky or innovate projects because the big corporations are worried about losing money.
One reason the range of music is much broader than the range of cinema is that they've narrowed the funding of the distribution of films. It's very hard to make money out of them because the distributors won't pick up on them. Over time, if this way of marketing films works, I hope it will bring a much bigger diversity in film-making.
Everybody thought that the digital age had come to film and TV when film cameras became digital, and became very cheap to make and buy. Everybody expected an explosion of new film-making, be it cinema or TV, but that wasn't the case. Now, though, it will be because you have cheap cameras and editing equipment, and at last you've got a means to distribute it cheaply. There are portals like Myspace and YouTube, and eventually there will be film sites where you can download new films.
It's a combination of low cost filmmaking and low cost distribution, which I think in the next three or four years will see an explosion of new film-makers. It could be slightly chaotic over the next few years but I think, some very exciting film-makers will emerge.
While large distribution companies try for the widest possible audience, because that's where they get their highest possible profit margin, certain filmmakers will become much more attuned to their own voices and find a very specific audience via the internet.
On the marketing side of things, what do you plan to do?
Ed: What we are doing is a combination of online and traditional marketing, so there will be ads on the Underground and in press outlets. We'll be doing daily vodcasts on the countdown to the release and using portals such as Myspace and YouTube, and doing character profiles where the actor talks as the character in the film.
In terms of social networking, it's very measurable because you can see the amount of friends you have on Myspace and how many clips have been downloaded. The real beauty of it is that it shows you exactly how many hits and visitors you've had, and it's interactive. People can walk past a poster on the Underground ten times and not take in that it's a film or the release date, but as soon as you start interacting and clicking links, you take in the information on that page. So they are aware about the film – when it is released and who's in it.
The other thing that's important is the idea that social networking is collaborative and generous in the way people support other people, and the film-makers have got together and worked on this film for very little money, so they're both part of the same philosophy.
Does Myspace suit your audience?
Ed: It's changing rapidly. Forty percent of Myspace's audience is over 30 so it is breaking out from the 18-24 bracket and is becoming exponential in terms of its growth. We've made a film that appeals to a wide range of people, but there are groups who will be passionate about it.
With our online and offline marketing, we've borne in mind who we think our main audience is, but you never want to be too specific about it.

From going on adventures with imaginary friends to solving a magical mystery in an arcade, the creativity found in Utah author Brandon Mull's two new books coming out this month are sure to keep his audience entertained.
Both of Mull's new books are second volumes. The first is "Pingo and the Playground Bully" (Shadow Mountain, $17.99), released Oct. 9. This children's picture book tells the story of playground friends having a contest to determine who has the best imaginary friend while trying to avoid the playground bully.
Telling stories about a boy with an imaginary friend comes naturally to Mull.
"I had lots of imaginary friends growing up. I would turn my stuffed animals into imaginary friends, I'd go on adventures with imaginary comrades and I had a certain imaginary friend who was an invisible boy," Mull said.
The second book, being released on Oct. 23, is the long-awaited second volume of the Candy Shop War series, titled "Arcade Catastrophe" (Shadow Mountain, $18.99) and is targeted at middle readers 8 and older. Main character Nate and his friends are asked to investigate Arcadeland when two of their other friends mysteriously disappear. Unlike the first book, Nate and his friends will need more than magical candy to figure out the secrets Arcadeland holds.
Originally, Mull had planned to release only one book in the Candy Shop War.
"After 'The Candy Shop War' came out in 2007, a funny thing happened. When I was out visiting schools and signing books, I kept getting asked to do another one. Kids and adults kept asking for years. Knowing people wanted more got my wheels turning and I became excited about some new stories I could tell with those characters. So here I am, releasing another one," Mull said.
Mull said that some of his characters were inspired by real people.
"Of all my characters in any of my books, Nate in 'The Candy Shop War' is most like me. He isn't exactly me as a kid, but he's pretty close. The character Summer was enough inspired by my sister Summer that they share the same name. I try not to take an entire person and make him or her a character. I prefer to mix and match attributes and create my own people."
More real-life elements are described when Mull calls the Candy Shop War an "autobiographical fantasy adventure."
I know that sounds impossible, but I took many elements of my life when I was in fifth grade and then added fantasy elements to create the story," Mull said. "Clayton in California, the town where I grew up, is much like the town Colson in the book, and most of the Bay Area landmarks in the second book of 'The Candy Shop War' are places I have been."
Growing up, Mull was intrigued by book series such as the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. These books made him fall in love with fantasy and led him to start imagining his own adventures.
"I live my life with one foot in reality and the other in fantasy. That is how I cope. So I guess it makes sense that to create my books, I draw elements from my real life then add in lots of fantasy."
Mull does plan on writing third volumes for both Pingo and the Candy Shop War series within the next couple of years. Mull also has plans for some brand new series in the not-too-distant future with a major publisher with whom he has not worked with before and hasn't announced yet.
As a passionate writer, Mull gives credit to his fans for continuing to read his books.
"I've always thought my stories were worth sharing. I never get tired of hearing that people have enjoyed my books. It validates the fact that I am spending my life writing."

In a March 22 live webcast, over 1,100 people tuned in as Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Judith McHale and Alex Evans, Senior Advisor to the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, sat down for a discussion with Murtaza Solangi, Director General of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation. Hosted by New America Foundation and moderated by its President, Steve Clemons, the discussion focused on the importance of radio to education, grassroots empowerment, and countering extremist voices.
Mr. Solangi described the explosive growth of the media sector in Pakistan, and the continued importance of using radio, in innovative combination with mobile technologies, to reach people. Radio dominates in news and information to rural areas of Pakistan, and 69 percent of rural households own a mobile phone. Under Secretary McHale addressed the challenge of communicating in today's competitive media environment. "It's not just talking at people, it's engaging with them: talking with them, having discussions, dialogues and debates... That two-way communication -- of listening to people, of engaging with them -- is critically important."
The Associated Press of Pakistan covered the event, and you can read the article here. To watch the video of the event, click here.

My name is Umme K. and I am a Youth Exchange and Study ( YES ) Program's alumnus from 2003-2004 batch from Pakistan. Being closely associated with Radio and working as Radio Jockey on one of the nation's leading radio stations, I really feel that masses can be talked to via this platform if you want to communicate effectively and spread out a word of wisdom to your listeners. I encourage youngsters to be a part of such talk shows that are produced to carry out healthy discussions with fruitful outcomes. I myself conduct a weekly talk show that talks about youngsters and the ways they can improve their lifestyle and be productive citizens of Pakistan.

NM Tech Professor Leading Field Trip to Edge of Hawaiian Volcano, June 26, 2008
by Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., June 26, 2008 – New Mexico Tech geophysics professor Jeffrey Johnson is leading a field trip to view and measure geology in action.
Left: Tech geophysics professor Jeffrey Johnson on a research trip to Chile.
The Tech professor is leading a 10-day graduate level course at the active volcano Kilauea in Hawaii. The 10 students enrolled in the course will place seismic sensors at the volcano, collect data and analyze the information, under Johnson's tutelage. The sensors detect movements of the earth – earthquakes and tremors that are too small to be sensed by humans.
Johnson is teaching in conjunction with the Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes, which is based in Hawaii. The 10 students enrolled in the class include three Tech students. The other seven participants are all international students – from Peru, Ecuador, Philippines, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Vanuatu.
"These students are all from countries that have active volcanoes," Johnson said. "They are all interested in eruption monitoring and learning tools to better understand eruption physics. There aren't a lot of institutions that do geophysical volcanology field courses, so this class should serve as a great recruiting tool for New Mexico Tech."
The title of the graduate level class is Geophysical Field Volcanology School and Digital Sound Processing. Johnson will teach the students everything about digital sensing – beginning with digging holes and burying seismometers and finishing with analyzing the data and writing scientific reports.
"Volcanology is a great opportunity to excite students," Johnson said. "They get to see geophysics in action in a custom-built laboratory. You plop down your sensors and you get data. We can pull this off in a week because volcanoes are so dynamic. At Kilauea we will directly observe the eruption of lava with our sensors and with our eyes"
Kilauea has been active since 1983, creating new coastline and destroying everything in the path of its lava flows. In recent months, a new vent has opened near the summit and the lava flows entering the ocean are spectacular, Johnson said.
"I'm very excited because Kilauea has been especially active lately," he said. "This is a very exciting opportunity for students and I fully expect it to be great publicity for the university, but it's a wonderful opportunity to do real science too."
Using seismometers, Johnson and the students will gather valuable information about fluid movement and rock fracturing inside volcanoes. Volcanoes like Kilauea produce copious earthquakes. Johnson's array of sensing equipment will track the location of these earthquakes and the types of seismic waves that are generated. By combining the data from several sensing locations, he and the students will be able to produce images of underground structures and to map the locations and movements of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Ultimately this work helps to facilitate better understanding of eruptive processes and eruption prediction.
New Mexico Tech vice president of research and economic development Van Romero said the university has a long history of cutting-edge research in volcanology and geoscience.
"When I was a student at New Mexico Tech in the 1970s, I had the opportunity to participate in research that focused on volcanic activity in Hawaii," said Romero, who earned his doctorate in physics. "It was a great experience. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot."
This is the first planned annual field geophysics class Johnson will teach at volcanoes. Next year's field study will be at the active Tungurahua Volcano in Ecuador in conjunction with the Instituto Geofisico of the Escuela Politecnica Nacional in Quito.

After months of trying to find a new phone that would meet my needs and not overwhelm me with more than I need, I finally upgraded my phone, my life, my plan, to an LG Xenon. I waited with baited breathe for the UPS man, and after taking the package from his hands, and ripping it open, my excitement started leaking like a 3 day old helium balloon.
Nothing about this is fun.
Nothing about this makes me happy.
N0thing about this is remotely the way it should be.
The phone arrived uncharged– a major deterrent to immediately diving in and playing around. The directions for authorizing the phone, for changing my phone number, for setting up my voicemail — none worked as described. I mean, the reps I spoke with were great, but I spoke with 4 of them. They were all also mystified about how to proceed with someone who only had the cell phone. Do most people do this from work?? I mean, landlines are scarce amongst the company I keep, are we really that abnormal?
Every step along the way has been ugly and unpleasant. Nothing has worked according to direction, and everything that seemed intuitive has caused a problem somewhere else down the line.
And while I am siting here, seething and pouting, in the back of mind I'm wondering: is this the library user experience?
- We have sexy tools
- They are far too complicated
- Our help systems — vendor and librarian –do they meet the challenge? Do they assist with the actual problems our patrons encounter?
- Are the help tools a poor match to the systems as the currently exist?
- And, do we put way too much emphasis on assuming (requiring?) the user will come talk to us? Us, lovely, helpful, kind, librarians. But such a hassle to sidetrack from the task at hand to talk to, and too bound in procedures and checking the work to offset the waste of patron time having to ask represents.
Do we make out patrons feel the way AT&T and LG are making me feel right now? If the answer is yes, it's unacceptable. How do we, how can I, start laying out an agenda towards developing better, more intuitive systems and implementing far better and less intrusive help?

Cassells Real Estate sponsor Sharjah feature
Sharjah's third meeting of the season this Saturday afternoon features a very competitive 2000m handicap, generously sponsored by Cassells Real Estate and one of two Thoroughbred contests on the seven race card.
With a prize fund of AED65,000, the feature has, not surprisingly, attracted a maximum field of 16 with trainer Doug Watson particularly well represented with three runners.
Watson also saddles Florentine Ruler, beaten a short-head over today's course and distance a fortnight ago and UAE debutant Champagne Style who will also be having his first outing on dirt.
Watson said: "All three must have some kind of chance with conditions obviously ideal for Gulf Of Gold and Florentine Ruler also proven on the track – he was only just beaten last time and both have come out of those races well. Champagne Style has been going nicely at home and if he stays the trip and can produce what he is showing us at home he can run a nice race."
Florentine Ruler was denied last time in a thrilling finish by the re-opposing Bin Shamardal who will again be ridden by Wayne Smith for his main employer Musabah Al Muhairi.
Smith said: "He had to battle hard for that win and we were very pleased with him. It also showed he handles the dirt. He seems in good form since but this does look a stronger race."
Mubarak Bin Shafya trains Bawadi, who was third in the same race and should be competitive under Pat Cosgrave, while both Natural Law and Kiwi Moon have quite a bit to find having been well beaten on that occasion.
Erwan Charpy, the trainer of Natural Law, also saddles Cho Cho Fever who was a pleasing fourth in the race won by Gulf Of Gold on his seasonal return.
The mount of Ted Durcan, Charpy was pleased with that effort and said: "Hopefully he will have come on from that run and he has only had five races so hopefully there is some improvement to be had."
Gold Post, trained by Dhruba Selvaratnam, was just behind Cho Cho Fever in fifth and should not be dismissed in an open race.
The best of the Purebred Arabian action is also a 2000m handicap for which 11 have been declared.
Trainer Tony Manuel saddled a treble last week, including BH One who won a similar race over course and distance.
He bids to follow up that win under Harry Bentley.
Watson's MH Wafi looks a big danger if handling the dirt but it could be that Swyft, trained by Ernst Oertel, is the main threat. He was a staying on second over 1700m last week suggesting this step up in trip will suit.

Re: Twilight Skits
Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 12:35 pm
Haha, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware we weren't allowed to create new skits. Back when I was a regular poster on the original lex on the original skits thread, if the thread was dead (which this one was), we'd write a new plotline for the skits. r_r said the thread was dead, that was all I had read, so I wrote a new skit. Not to mention, my skits were so short, they didn't call for a continuation. I apologize for disrupting the continuancy, though. Okay, now I'm just being rude, I'm sorry.Cullen_Lover wrote:Ummmm, hello Twilight<3. Could you please read the past skit pages if it isn't too much trouble because the skits you have been writing have not been going with the storyline of the skits. We would really appreciate it, Sorry guys, I have not been able to post lately because I only go on the computers on weekends, and I have been busy, so I hope to continue on the last skit post going on with the original story line. Thanks:)

Popularity isn't a cause that much worries me, mainly because 'popular' wasn't a label that came near being coupled with my name during the teenage years. At the time you're acutely aware that you're so low down on the totem pole you'd first have to dig your way up to the surface to get some face-time on that wooden mast, but unpopularity can be liberating once you wrap your mind around it. You don't have to worry about keeping up appearances, or about tweaking your personality or preferences in order to maintain some standard. At least from my observations as a teenager, the un-popular saved a small fortune in designer clothes and handbags, and trips to the salon and manicurist (and fake tanning, these days).
The same money-saving ethos holds for your unpopular cuts of meat. You're not going to be dipping in to your savings if you get a hankering for liver or want to tuck into a side of goat. Forerib of beef is a cut of meat that has fallen off the popularity wagon, but can still be a sumptuous bit of meat. I first fell in love with forerib at the Marquess Tavern which serves it up as part of a family-style Sunday lunch, succulent and slow cooked and dripping with rich flavors and juices. At our local butchers this weekend, with forerib hanging in the window and golden memories of long Sunday lunches playing in our minds, there was no alternative but to wrap that rib up and bring it back to its new home.
The forerib is a cheaper cut of meat because there's a bit more fiddling about to get beauty from it - athough beauty is very possible. You can either brown the meat off and then roast in the oven until nicely cooked (though still rare, please), or give it the slow-roasting treatment to really concentrate the flavors, as Johanna at The Passionate Cook did recently. We opted for the brown-and-roast method, adapting a recipe from Anthony Worrall Thompson that used paprika, mustard, and dried herbs to give the meat flavor and to create a glorious gravy which nearly became the star of the meal itself.
A topside or silverside of beef is a much more popular roast dinner: easy to whack into a pan and cook to preference, but also easy to over-do because of its lack of fat. Even though the forerib is less simple to carve and to pick the meat from, the efforts are rewarded by the flavor of the meat itself. Since it's not as popular as it once was you will probably need to go to a butcher to get some (and the better the butcher, the better the meat will be), but the double pleasure is that it costs less than other cuts of beef and will give a nice stock from boiling up the bone. If you ever needed an argument to show that being unpopular is a rewarding experience, this is it.
Roast forerib of beef, adapted from Anthony Worrall Thompson
Serves around 6
- 1.3kg/3lb piece forerib of beef, on the bone
- handful of roasting vegetables, such as carrot, onion and leek; use 1 of each if mainly using to add flavor to the gravy, more than that if you are roasting the vegetables to eat
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2.5ml/½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2.5ml/½ tsp dry English mustard powder or wasabi powder
- 4 Tbsp olive oil (for frying the meat)
- 600ml/1 pint fresh beef stock
- 150ml/¼ pint red wine
- 3 Tbsp olive oil (for cooking the vegetables)
- Heat the oven to 200C / 400F
- Combine the dried herbs (Anthony warns that the recipe will only work with dried rather than fresh) cayenne, paprika, garlic salt and English mustard powder/wasabi.
- Spread a thin layer of the Dijon mustard all over the fat side of the beef and stick the herb mixture into it. If you have time, wrap in cling-film and put to one side to allow the beef to marinate.
- Chop up the vegetables and place in the roasting tray the meat will go into, along with the 3 Tbsp olive oil. Cook for 20 minutes until caramelised or lightly browned.
- Once the vegetables are browned, increase the temperature to 220C/425F. In a frying pan, heat the 4 Tbsp olive oil and seal the meat on all sides (about 30 seconds per exposed side).
- Place the beef into the roasting pan on top of the caramelised vegetables, but don't return to the oven just yet.
- Into the frying pan containing the left over juices of the meet, add the red wine and heat to burn off the alcohol. Pour into the base of the roasting pan along with the ½ pint of beef stock.
- Return the meat et al to the oven and roast 15 minutes.
- After those 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 200C/400 F and roast for 12 minutes per 450g/1lb for medium-rare; or 10 minutes for very rare, almost 'blue' meat and 20 -25 mins for a well done beef. (please note: we followed these instructions and the meat needed another 20 minutes to come up to rare, so either we got our timings wrong or these suggestions are wrong)
- Baste the roast regularly, about every 10-15 minutes.
- Remove meat from the roasting dish and place on a large dish, letting it rest a good 15 minutes before carving.
- Use the juices from the pan to make a succulent gravy.

For lots of kids, there�s only a small window in the day to get outside and get moving during the school week.
�They�re getting a very limited amount of physical activity in the school day,� said Steve D�Avria, district executive director for the Gaston County Family YMCA. �By the time six o�clock hits, it�s dinner, bath and family time.�
But for the local YMCA afterschool programs, the limited time young students have between the time school ends and the time their parents pick them up and take them home for their nightly routines is an opportunity to teach them about healthy lifestyles.
To promote physical activity and healthy eating, the Gaston YMCA afterschool program is incorporating three afterschool wellness initiatives this school year. Its Y4210 program, which will begin the first week of October, will encourage kids to have at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, two hours or less of �screen time,� at least one hour of exercise and zero sugar-sweetened drinks each day.
A Y Go Far running program, which begins this week, will prepare students to run in the Spencer Mountain 5K in November and Run for the Money in April. All afterschool sites have implemented new YMCA Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Standards, which establish a minimum expected activity times, designates water as the primary beverage during snack times, limits screen time (watching TV, playing video games, using computers, etc.) and provides parent education to encourage healthy behaviors at home.
The purpose of the new afterschool initiatives is to fight the burgeoning childhood obesity problem that faces this nation, D�Avria said. More than 23 million children and teens in the U.S. ages 2 to 19 are obese or overweight � one in every three children. In North Carolina, 20 percent of children ages 2 to 4 come from low-income families and one out of every seven low-income children in that age range is obese.
Gaston Family YMCA afterschool programs serve about 525 kids at 15 sites across the county. Those enrolled are in kindergarten through eighth grade. Afterschool programs will provide 45 minutes to an hour of physical activity daily, which includes free play and a planned activity. Candy and sugary soft drinks, which the YMCA used to sell to students, have been eliminated and replaced with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
The YMCA is also working to make gymnastics, judo, dance and swim lessons more accessible for students in the afterschool program, D�Avria said.
�It�s a timing opportunity,� D�Avria said. �We�ve got them at the perfect opportunity to do it and the Y is a perfect organization to be leading that charge.�

Taranto Offers Up Weak Defense Of Palin's "Death Panel" Lie
Blog ››› ››› ERIC SCHROECK
In his February 2 Wall Street Journal column, James Taranto celebrated a Florida judge's recent ruling against the health care reform law and credited his fellow News Corp. employee Sarah Palin with helping undermine support for reform efforts by coining the phrase "death panel."
Taranto then launched a weak defense of Palin's "death panel" lie and attacked PolitiFact for naming "death panels" its 2009 Lie of the Year.
You see, according to Taranto, Palin was "not lying" because she put "death panel" in quotes, which "indicate[s] that she was using it figuratively." In fact, Taranto argues, PolitiFact "was more vulnerable to the charge of lying than Palin was, for its highly literal, out-of-context interpretation of her words was at best extremely tendentious." Here's Taranto's defense:
In truth, PolitiFact was more vulnerable to the charge of lying than Palin was, for its highly literal, out-of-context interpretation of her words was at best extremely tendentious.
Palin put the term "death panel" in quotes to indicate that she was using it figuratively. She was not lying but doing just the opposite: conveying a fundamental truth about ObamaCare. Proponents were describing it as a sort of fiscal perpetual-motion machine: We're going to give free insurance to tens of millions of people and reduce the deficit! As a matter of simple arithmetic, the only way to do that is by drastically curtailing medical benefits.
"Health care by definition involves life and death decisions," Palin wrote. ObamaCare necessarily expands the power of federal bureaucrats to make such decisions, and it creates enormous fiscal pressures to err on the side of death. Whether it establishes literal panels for that purpose is a hair-splitting quibble. By naming this "lie of the year," PolitiFact showed itself to be less seeker of truth than servant of power.
But Taranto's argument that Palin merely used the "death panel" phrase figuratively to make a point about cost issues regarding Democrats' health reform plans is simply not true.
Palin's "death panel" claim specifically referred to a proposed "Advance Care Planning Consultation" that was intended to ensure that voluntary end-of-life care consultations would be covered if a patient requests it from a qualified care provider. Her claim that this would constitute any form of panel/board/committee that would decide who -- in Palin's words -- is "worthy of health care" is false, plain and simple.
How do we know this is what Palin was referring to when she made up the "death panel" lie? Because that's exactly what her spokeswoman said to ABC News at the time:
Asked specifically what the former governor was referring to when painting a picture of an Obama "death panel" giving her parents or son Trig a thumbs up or down based on their productivity, Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton responded in an email: "From HR3200 p. 425 see 'Advance Care Planning Consultation'."
Taranto also attacks PolitiFact for making a "highly literal, out-of-context interpretation" interpretation of Palin's claim. However, PolitiFact quotes Palin herself saying that her "death panel" phrase "should not be taken literally" while still specifically claiming that the bill makes it "evident that there would be a panel of bureaucrats who would decide on levels of health care."
"To me, while reading that section of the bill, it became so evident that there would be a panel of bureaucrats who would decide on levels of health care, decide on those who are worthy or not worthy of receiving some government-controlled coverage," she said. "Since health care would have to be rationed if it were promised to everyone, it would therefore lead to harm for many individuals not able to receive the government care. That leads, of course, to death."
"The term I used to describe the panel making these decisions should not be taken literally," said Palin. The phrase is "a lot like when President Reagan used to refer to the Soviet Union as the 'evil empire.' He got his point across. He got people thinking and researching what he was talking about. It was quite effective. Same thing with the 'death panels.' I would characterize them like that again, in a heartbeat."
Palin's claim of "death panels" comprised of bureaucrats deciding who is "worthy of health care" is simply false, regardless of whether she meant it literally or figuratively. Nothing even remotely resembling her suggestion was ever proposed; she simply invented it. Taranto's arguments over quotation marks or the real point Palin was trying to make won't change that.

Kentucky Derby Winner Super Saver Expected To Arrive At Pimlico May 12
BALTIMORE, 05-02-10---The eyes of the racing world shift from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course as the Triple Crown players set their sights on Baltimore for the 135th running of the Preakness® Stakes on Saturday, May 15.
This morning winning trainer Todd Pletcher informed Pimlico officials, including track president Tom Chuckas, that Super Saver will stay in Kentucky to prepare for the Preakness and will arrive at Pimlico next Wednesday, May 12, the day of the Post Position Draw. Per tradition, Chuckas called Pletcher to congratulate him on Super Saver's victory and to personally invite him to the Preakness.
"There were a lot of different emotions," Pletcher said. "Relief. Excitement. It was extremely rewarding."
Pletcher, who had three other Derby starters, is likely to have a second Preakness runner in Aikenite. Owned by Cot Campbell's Dogwood Stables, the son of Yes It's True finished second in a pair of Grade 1 races as a 2-year-old. He is 0-for-4 this year but finished second in the Grade 3 Derby Trial on Apr. 24.
"After the Derby Trial, Mr. Campbell was excited about the way he ran and wanted to take a look at the Preakness," added Pletcher.
A graduate of the University of Arizona, Pletcher has also become the most successful graduate of Lukas Academy – one of many talented trainers to serve an apprenticeship under Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas. The 42 year-old began working for Lukas in 1989 before going out on his own in 1996.
The teacher will try to deny the pupil a shot at Triple Crown glory. Lukas indicated Dublin, the seventh place finisher in yesterday's Derby, will be Preakness bound. The trainer has saddled a record 34 Preakness starters and is tied for second in wins with five: Codex (1980), Tank's Prospect (1985), Tabasco Cat (1994), Timber Country (1995) and Charismatic (1999).
Nick Zito said Derby runner-up Ice Box is "doubtful" for the Preakness after a troubled trip for the Florida Derby winner. The son of Pulpit was steadied early in traffic, steadied when blocked nearing the stretch and steadied at the sixteenth pole before swinging outside and rallying to finish 2 ½ lengths behind the winner.
"I will not make a decision until next week," Zito said. "But to run the horse off a six-week layoff and to see him have to check three times makes it hard to run back in two weeks and then again three weeks later (Belmont Stakes). If we had won it would have been a different story. You never say never, but it looks doubtful."
Zito, who is tied for second with 19 Preakness starters, said Jackson Bend, who was 12th in the Derby, is "hopeful" for the Preakness.
Trainer Dale Romans said the Preakness is under consideration for third place finisher Paddy O'Prado.
Bob Baffert , who tasted victory in the Preakness four times from 1997-2002, said a decision regarding betting favorite Lookin At Lucky, who finished sixth Saturday, would be made later in the week.
In addition to Aikenite, connections from seven other runners, who did not compete in the Derby, have contacted Pimlico with interest in the middle jewel. The potential new shooters (in alphabetical order) are A Little Warm (second, Louisiana Derby); Bushwhacked (second, Lexington Stakes); Caracortado (fourth, Santa Anita Derby); Hurricane Ike (Derby Trial winner), Pleasant Prince (third, Derby Trial); Schoolyard Dreams (fourth, Wood Memorial) and Turf Melody (third, Illinois Derby).
Trainer Mike Machowsky worked Caracortado five-furlongs Saturday morning at Santa Anita Park. The gelding stopped the clock in 59.40 seconds, the second fastest work at the distance. The son of Cat Dreams won the first five races of his career, including the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes, but finished third in the Grade 2 San Felipe and fourth in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on Apr. 3 and did not have enough graded earnings to land a spot in the "Run for the Roses".
"He worked great," said Machowsky. "He has always run well fresh and probably needed a little break. We spent a little time with him blowing an abscess out of his foot so maybe it will work out for the best. I'll probably work him seven-eighths Saturday. He could be tough with the way he is training."
Trainer Graham Motion said a final decision would be made on Turf Melody next weekend after breezing at Pimlico. The son of Maria's Mon, who won an allowance race last November at Laurel Park, has finished off the board in three starts this year, all Grade 3 races.
Trainer and co-owner Jerry Hollendorfer said Blind Luck, who captured the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Friday afternoon, is not under consideration.
"We think that would be bringing her back too quickly," Hollendorfer said.
The Preakness is limited to 14 starters. Fifteen of the last 18 years have seen double-digit starters.

Employees get microchip implants
Company requires controversial device for certain workers
A Cincinnati company is requiring any employee who works in its secure data center to be implanted with a microchip.
The video surveillance company CityWatcher.com injected two of its employees in the triceps area of the arm with the VeriChip, a glass-encapsulated RFID, or radio-frequency identification, tag, according to Liz McIntyre, co-author of "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID."
CityWatcher.com's Network Administrator Khary Williams spoke with McIntyre by phone Wednesday after the company announced it had integrated the VeriChip VeriGuard product into its access control system.
The tag can be read through clothing from a few inches away.
The highly controversial device is being marketed as a way to access secure areas, link to medical records and make purchases like a credit card.
As WorldNetDaily reported, when former Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson joined the VeriChip Corp. board of directors, he pledged to get chipped and encouraged Americans to do the same so their electronic medical records would be available in emergencies.
But McIntyre and co-author Katherine Albrecht contacted VeriChip Corp. in December and were told the chipping never took place.
VeriChip spokesman John Procter said Thompson had been "too busy" to undergo the procedure, adding that he had no clear plans to do so.
CityWatcher's Williams said a local doctor already has implanted two of the company's employees with the VeriChip devices.
"I will eventually" receive an implant, too, he added.
Meanwhile, Williams accesses the data center with a VeriChip implant housed in a heart-shaped plastic casing that hangs from his key chain.
He told McIntyre he had no reservations about having the procedure and would do it as soon as time permits.
But McIntyre says she's worried that CityWatchers – a government contractor specializing in surveillance projects – would be the first publicly to incorporate the technology in the workplace.
CityWatcher provides video surveillance, monitoring and video storage for government and businesses, with cameras set up on public streets throughout Cincinnati.
The company hopes the VeriChip will bolster its proximity or "prox" card security system that controls access to the room where the video footage is stored, said Gary Retherford of Six Sigma Security, Inc., the company that provided the VeriChip technology.
"The prox card is a system that can be compromised," said Retherford, referring to the card's well-known vulnerability to hackers.
He explained that chipping employees "was a move to increase the layer of security."
"It was attractive because it could be integrated with the existing system," he said.
McIntyre points out, however, researchers have shown the VeriChip to be vulnerable to hackers.
Security researcher Jonathan Westhues showed last month how a hacker can clone a chip and theoretically duplicate someone's implant to access a secure area.
Westhues believes the VeriChip is not secure and "not good for anything."
"No one I spoke with at Six Sigma Security or at CityWatcher knew that the VeriChip had been hacked," said McIntyre, author of a chapter titled "Hacking the Prox Card" for Simson Garfinkel's recent "RFID: Applications, Security, and Privacy."
"They were also surprised to hear of VeriChip's downsides as a medical device," he added. "It was clear they weren't aware of some of the controversy surrounding the implant."
Albrecht says that while CityWatcher.com does not require employees to receive the chip to keep their jobs, the company is establishing an unsettling precedent.
"It's wrong to link a person's paycheck with getting an implant," she said. "Once people begin 'voluntarily' getting chipped to perform their job duties, it won't be long before pressure gets applied to those who refuse."
Albrecht believes the VeriChip will be hard to sell when people learn of the security flaws, combined with a general squeamishness about implants.
"Obviously, nobody wants their employer coming at them with a giant hypodermic needle," she said. "But when people realize it takes a scalpel and surgery to remove the device if it gets hacked, they'll really think twice. An implant is disgusting enough going in, but getting it out again is a bloody mess."

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Glycemic Index
Learn about the glycemic index and how it can play a role in healthy weight loss. The articles in this section will teach you the difference between the glycemic index and glycemic load.
Having lots of unwanted weight means you may have a self-confidence problem, making you feel unattractive to the opposite sex. More importantly, being overweight may lead to serious health problems, like heart disease and diabetes, among a host of others. But there is a diet that you can trust to take off that unwanted weight, while reducing your risk for suffering from awful medical conditions that can relegate you to a life of constant doctors' appointments or, worse yet, hospital stays. It's called the Glycemic Index Diet Plan.
Carbohydrate-packed foods have high glycemic levels that can often lead to weight gain in a variety of ways. You'll be surprised to learn that these products are more often than not considered to be healthy foods, even recommended by some health experts. But these foods will increase the glucose levels in your blood, which can give you more energy but the extra glucose can also go unused and turn into fat. An inactive lifestyle and high glucose foods can make the problem even worse. That's where a Glycemic Index Diet Plan comes in to play. It can lower the effects of this process and reduce the risk of health problems.The basic workings of this diet involve the reduction of the amount of high glucose foods you eat. Besides losing weight, you can achieve your desired results without gaining the weight back. Thanks to eating foods that benefit your body, the Glycemic Index Diet Plan will optimize your weight loss program. Your cholesterol level will be lowered and your blood sugar levels will be balanced. And all of this can be done quickly and easily.
It's a great idea for you to keep a food chart with you if you decide that this eating plan is right for you. Make sure you keep track of the basic rules but do not get overly worried about the calculations. That can have a detrimental effect on your diet program. Things to keep in mind are to eat whole grains, which have a lower glycemic index so you don't have to worry about eating breakfast cereals and different kinds of pastas and breads. Some diets keep you from eating such delectable dishes but what kind of life is that? And if you enjoy rice, the Glycemic Index Diet Plan allows you to enjoy brown rice, too, along with potatoes, and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Here's the trick: you have to eat foods with high glycemic rankings, just eat them in small amounts. Generally, a salad with vegetables is suggested for health-conscious eaters especially if the salad is topped with tasty vinaigrette dressing.
As you can see, this diet is very easy to follow and stick to without eliminating all of your favorite foods. You can start this diet immediately and without hesitation, knowing that it can help you succeed where other diets have failed in the past. The best part is that this diet has been clinically proven to work. Many diet food delivery services even offer it as an option. Get your food chart today, and you'll get results in no time.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.
