NEW YORK (AP) - Jason Wu's fall collection, previewed Friday at New York Fashion Week, was all woman. Not girlie. Not mannish. That was by design.
NEW YORK (AP) � Jason Wu's fall collection, previewed Friday at New York Fashion Week, was all woman. Not girlie. Not mannish. That was by design.
"This collection is really about the woman," Wu said backstage before his show at a former Park Avenue church. "I wanted to bring back the woman to the runway."
The clothes were full of strength, with exaggerated shoulders and some military touches, but chiffon pleats floated down the runway. Two outfits were long � as in floor-length � pleated, peplum tops over tuxedo pants, the perfect yin and yang.
Red that offset the mostly black-and-white combinations was the va-va-voom. Use of the color both here and on Michelle Obama's inaugural gown last month was not a coincidence. Wu started on the collection in October and the gown � for which he received plenty of congratulations and accolades � was designed in November.
"Certainly red was on my mind. ... I felt it was right for right now," he said.
One of the looks for next season Wu highlighted for reporters was a strapless cocktail dress that was mostly black but had a red overlay. It embodied the complex "poetry" he was trying to convey, he explained.
Other standouts were the fur-trimmed, funnel-neck trench that opened the show, and the snakeskin-chiffon dress that married coolness with femininity.
The bone-colored silk peplum gown seemed like it would have potential for the first lady, although he'd have to cover up the sexy sheer spots.
Model Cara Delevingne didn't wear the finale purple peplum gown, but she had on the dress that best summed up the day: Her white satin-twill dress covered in white soft feathers evoked snowflakes falling from the sky.
Wu moved his show from a raw downtown space last season to the very uptown and polished space, where Oscar de la Renta used to stage his fashion shows, and it seemed to better suit his look.

AT&T Plans to Make Customers Wait a Full Two Years to Get That Phone Upgrade
AT&T decided the Sunday before Apple's developer conference was the right time to announce that it is going to make customers wait longer to get a subsidized phone upgrade.
Following the lead of Verizon, AT&T said it will start making customers wait a full two years, rather than 20 months, to get a new phone. The change affects those whose contracts are up in March 2014 or later. Verizon announced a similar move back in April.
"Today, we're announcing a 24-month upgrade policy across all of AT&T's wireless products and services," AT&T said in a blog post. "This aligns device upgrade eligibility with our standard two-year wireless agreement and it applies to any customer whose agreement expires in March 2014 or later."
The company also helpfully pointed out other options, such as bringing your own phone or paying full retail price for an upgrade.

AI War 2 is out now! Get it on Humble Store today!
Against the idea of infinite HP AI mines, it would lead to loads of frustration (and bug reports) for a new player, and still would be frustrating for a veteran player.
I respect your stance, however I must precise that mines wouldn't have infinite HP, rather they wouldn't loose any HP when stepped upon. One can still get tachyon in and destroy them. I bet you've understood, Chemical Art, but I think it's best to precise that for other people that might get it wrong.As a reply, I thought it would indeed make mines a very potent trap, but as a fleet deploys around a wormhole when crossing it, only a fraction of them would be hit by the mines. Also, mines would hit each ship only once, and with a rather low attack value, most mid-mark ships would be just scratched.On the frustration issue you raises, I'm sorry to avoid it, but AIW is a harsh, unforgiving and frustrating game. And I think we love it for that, or rather beyond that, us who went through that frustration to find... that undefinable thing we love in AIW. (Also, in my lobby revamp idea, it would be possible to totally disable frustrating things like mines, eyes, fortresses, etc. Or, y'know, put them everywhere.)Again, I hope AIW2 will come soon. I really can't wait to test all these ideas and see how they actually impact the game experience.Keith, if you read me...
In short, it just sounds aggravating and not fun. Challenge for its own sake is not enough. AI War is not fun because it is hard. It is fun because it is a complex blend of carrots and sticks. Complex =/= frustrating.
Final question:How to make AI mines change the balance of a fight in a way that would be interesting for the players to evaluate and test and build through or around?
Imagine some reworked, or new, AI Subcommander types taking advantage of high-damage visible, or cloaked, mines... !fun!
(...) decloaking is something difficult for the human player to do. There are not many sources: Decloaker, Tachyon Warheads, Tachyon Microfighters, Tachyon Drones, Scout Starships, hacking. All have very low caps, are fragile, are not standard, or even cost AIP.
Quote from: Toranth on May 17, 2016, 04:11:20 PMImagine some reworked, or new, AI Subcommander types taking advantage of high-damage visible, or cloaked, mines... !fun!TI like this idea, it is a brilliant extra challenge. Having visible mines (on both sides) with high amounts of health (thus potential offense) sounds interesting as well.

Carole Nash writing to you from Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley, where I'm finishing up a week-long field school at a ca. 1760 Rhenish stone flurkuchenhaus, the White House, on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. I teach at James Madison University in Harrisonburg and co-direct the Archaeological Technician Certification Program, an effort of the Archeological Society of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and the Council of Virginia Archaeologists. This week's field school was created for Cert students — we have over 70 grads and almost 90 active students who commit to 60 hours of lab work, 60 hours of field survey, 60 hours of excavation, 20 hours of public education, 12 courses, and a reading list a mile long. Our students range in age from 16-83 and all share a remarkable dedication to archaeology. The White House field school is but one of our 2012 Cert programs.
What started as a very clear, cool week ended with a blast of summer — today's temps reached 100 degrees at the site — and we have one more day to go. Anyone who has spent a summer digging in Virginia knows what this means: start early, drink lots of water, and take a LONG lunch! Fortunately for us, we're working in an amazingly beautiful location in the shadow of Massanutten Mountain, we have shade trees and canopies, and we have a clean portajohn. We have an outdoor lab set up to wash artifacts. Actually feels pretty luxurious.
So….the White House: built by a German immigrant family in ca. 1760; now part of the White House Farm Foundation, which has put 270 acres of land in conservation easement and is working toward a National Register nomination for the structure. A flurkuchenhaus is a Rhenish (German Rhineland) design, with three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs, plus a vaulted basement. They are sometimes referred to as 'stone forts' because they were constructed during the French and Indian War years on the Virginia Frontier, but they were not defensive structures. They're beautiful stone houses, though. This one was covered with skim and stucco at least three times. We have been reading Valley documents and know that the house was called "White House" as early as 1769 and used as a Mennonite and Baptist meeting house.
Our goals (in addition to getting our students solid archaeological training): confirm the date of construction; learn about the evolution of the house; determine the impact of flooding on the landform (first terrace, South Fork of the Shenandoah); and learn whether the terrace was occupied by Native Americans prior to the Kauffman family. A tall order for a week of work! Gotta aim high, right? We did, indeed, find evidence to assist with each of these goals, although admittedly, the heat slowed us down today.
I am so proud of our team — today's crew included six Certification grads (Laura Wedin, Marsha Summerson, Maxine Grabill, Janice Biller, Linda Waggy, and Kay Veith), a Certification student (Philip Mulford), our local ASV Chapter President (Cindy Schroer), and a new archaeology student (Cullen Byers). Our smaller crew today was down from 18 on Wednesday. GO TEAM! You're the best!
Our findings from thirteen 2.5′ x 2.5 units and one backhoe trench: our arms aren't long enough to dig on the South Fork floodplain! We have a .4′ flood deposit on top of a 1′ plowzone filled with late 18th/19th century artifacts, with Native American lithics and pottery included. Under the plowzone we have flood deposit 1, flood deposit 2, flood deposit 3, flood deposit 4, flood deposit 5 — and that's where we stopped. The bucket auger is our friend.
Cool artifacts: a piece of eight from the reign of Charles III (Carolus dollar); two French gun flints; English brown stoneware; Westerwald stoneware; a kaolin pipestem; creamware; a remarkable variety of pearlware; cut nails and more cut nails; Middle and Late Woodland pottery.
Our plan: come back in the Fall when the weather is cooler.
Happy Day of Archaeology from Virginia, all!

Biarritz is a pretty place, but nothing compared to our FLOTUS.
Here's the photo we've been waiting for.
Personal note: I'm incredibly bummed. Italian Conte is present at the G7 and it messes up the vote. He resigned. Thought for sure Salvini would be there instead. Big Bummer.
Nonetheless, Merkel and Conte are on the way out. Macron keeps trying to play host, and assuming he is the one who runs the world. He looks like the 110lb geek who invites the Crips and Bloods over to his house to check out mom and dad's new pool. He's fixin' to get rolled….. he just doesn't know it yet. Tusk is barely hanging on and keeps shaking his finger, and Merkel……… well…..
Here is the Schedule for today.
♦ 2:15am EST / 8:15am CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in a working breakfast with Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Biarritz, France
♦ 3:20am EST / 9:20am CEST – THE PRESIDENT departs Hotel du Palais en route to Centre de Congrès Bellevue, Biarritz, France
♦ 3:25am EST / 9:25am CEST – THE PRESIDENT arrives at Centre de Congrès Bellevue, Biarritz, France, the primary venue for the G7 Summit.

[NOTE: This is the economic segment of the summit requested by the U.S. delegation – keep an eye open for very specific remarks to the audience by President Trump.]
♦ 5:15am EST / 11:15am CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, Biarritz, France

♦ 7:00am EST / 1:00pm CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in a G7 working lunch on inequality, Biarritz, France. [To reflect their global magnanimity Emmanuel Macron has selected sustainable algae cakes as the menu. /kidding]
♦ 9:00am EST / 3:00pm CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in a G7 working session on the G7 partnership with Africa, Biarritz, France
♦ 10:35am EST / 4:35pm CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in an unusual pull-aside with Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia [Not a G7 Participant?] Biarritz, France

♦ 2:00pm EST / 8:00pm CEST – THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY participate in the G7 extended partners program, Biarritz, France, [This is usually a cultural program for summit guests]
You know what? Let's forget the econ, Iran, China trade/hacking, Putin, DPRK, and climate change/gender pronoun/uber feminism…….. and let's call the G7 what it is.
It's a RETIREMENT PARTY. Time to show the globalists to the door.
We could decorate a little.
And we're going to need a cake.
And party favors for the guests.
Let's have a send off for the old guard and wave goodbye to their ideas rejected by the people. Please make sure to use your whole hand and not just your middle finger.
We should wait on the new guys! Truth is, anything these 7 "leaders" agree to, won't hold water in 6 months. Why waste time?
It would be a perfect troll for President Trump, but it's true. The war has changed.
Gear up the jukebox while we're all in the south of France, and let's dance a little.

Hellweg learns from rough first Major League outing
PITTSBURGH -- A day later, could Brewers manager Ron Roenicke identify any positives from Johnny Hellweg's anticlimactic Major League debut?
"No, I can't," the manager said simply. "We brought him in today and talked to him, and I was encouraged today in talking to him. He's going to get after it the next outing, and we'll see, with his best stuff, what Major League hitters can do with it. He was disappointed that they never saw his best stuff."
The 6-foot-9 right-hander's first-pitch fastball on Friday registered 87 mph, way off the 102 mph he touched in a start for Triple-A Nashville earlier this season. He eventually got up to 93 mph in a 1-2-3 first inning and touched 97 on a few occasions in the second, but with disastrous results.
Hellweg was charged with seven runs -- five earned, because of a Jean Segura error -- on six hits and two walks, while recording only the first two outs of the second inning. He will try to be more aggressive when he makes his follow-up start on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
"I think there were a couple of positives," Hellweg said. "I saw that if you make a good pitch, a guy hits a groundout. I also saw they hit mistakes. … The pace I tried to set for myself probably wasn't a good idea, trying to build into it. That didn't really work out the way I wanted to."

Phytonadione Syringe
COMMON BRAND(S): Aqua-Mephyton, Vitamin K
GENERIC NAME(S): Phytonadione (Vitamin K1)
OTHER NAME(S): Phytonadione (Vitamin K1) Solution
The injectable form of vitamin K can rarely cause severe (sometimes fatal) allergic reactions when given by injection into a muscle or vein. Therefore, vitamin K should be injected into a muscle or vein only when it cannot be given by injection under the skin or taken by mouth, or when your doctor has judged that the benefit is greater than the risk. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Who should not take Phytonadione Syringe?Show More
Vitamin K is used to treat and prevent low levels of certain substances (blood clotting factors) that your body naturally produces. These substances help your blood to thicken and stop bleeding normally (e.g., after an accidental cut or injury). Low levels of blood clotting factors increase the risk for unusual bleeding. Low levels may be caused by certain medications (e.g., warfarin) or medical conditions (e.g., obstructive jaundice). Vitamin K helps to treat and prevent unusual bleeding by increasing the body's production of blood clotting factors.
How to use Phytonadione Syringe
This medication is given by injection under the skin or into a muscle or vein as directed by your doctor. If this medication is given into a vein, it should be injected very slowly (no more than 1 milligram per minute) to reduce the risk of serious side effects. (See also Warning section.)
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. The solution is normally clear and yellow in color. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
If you are using a certain "blood thinner" drug (warfarin), vitamin K can decrease the effects of warfarin for up to 2 weeks. Therefore, be sure to take your vitamin K and warfarin exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
If you develop easy bruising or bleeding, seek immediate medical attention. You may need another dose of vitamin K.
Side Effects
Pain, swelling, or soreness at the injection site may occur. Temporary flushing, taste changes, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, shortness of breath, or bluish lips/skin/nails may also rarely occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

|Uzumaki Clan

|Clan Data
The Uzumaki clan (うずまき一族, Uzumaki Ichizoku) was a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. They were distant blood relatives of the Senju clan and as such, both were on good terms; an alliance that extended onto their hidden villages — Konohagakure and Uzushiogakure. The shinobi of Konoha integrated Uzushiogakure's symbol onto their uniforms and flak jackets as well as on the shoulders of their uniforms as a sign of friendship and goodwill between the two villages, and continue to do so to this day, in memory of their friendship even years after Uzushiogakure's destruction.[1] This clan produced the latest Hokage.[2]
As descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki by originating from the Senju clan, what distinguished the Uzumaki from their predecessors was that members of this clan were very knowledgeable in the art of fūinjutsu, and were both respected and feared worldwide because of their prodigious skill. This however, eventually led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the rest of the Land of Whirlpools during the era of Shinobi World Wars, as other nations had begun to see the village as too great a threat to go unchecked. With the destruction of their homeland, the remaining survivors of Uzushiogakure fled their homeland and went into hiding, scattered all around the world.[1] Throughout the series, members as well as descendants of the clan have resurfaced such as Karin, Nagato from Amegakure and presumably his mother, Fusō. With some of them such as Mito and later Kushina having settled in Konoha.
The Senju and Uzumaki clans are distant blood relatives whom they retained strong connections with.[1] The Uzumaki had a close relationship with Konoha, they would often supply fūinjutsu (among other things) to the village.[3] For this reason, Konoha-nin uniforms have the symbol of Uzushiogakure emblazoned on its shoulders. Hashirama's wife would also come from this clan, further strengthening their ties.[1] Along with their ties, structures were built both in, and around the village such as the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple.[4]
The members of the Uzumaki clan possessed an incredibly strong life force which can both endure and survive most grievous injuries plus incredible longevity.[5] The clan members are also blessed with great recuperative powers, able to quickly recover from extreme exhaustion and mend most injuries in short periods of time. As seen with Karin, she can further enhance her healing powers, by biting herself[6] and consuming some of her own chakra she can heal most injuries, and can heal others by letting another person bite her.[7] Their longevity can be seen in part through Mito, who lived from long before the founding of Konoha, to well into the term of the Third Hokage's reign. The clan's life force was the reason Kushina survived the extraction of her tailed beast, despite additionally just giving birth only moments before, though she was left severely weakened.[8] Naruto was also able to survive the extraction of a tailed beast (albeit he was rendered unconscious and in a critical state).[9] Two Uzumaki members have shown to possess a strong and special form of chakra, allowing them to manifest Adamantine Sealing Chains from their body which they can manipulate to their will in battle.[10][11] Whether or not this is an ability known to all Uzumaki is currently unknown.
- During the early days of the hidden villages, the Uzumaki clan wore armour reminiscent of the period of dress. Under this they wore a long sleeve, black outfit, the shoulders of which bore the crest of Uzushiogakure. They also wore black pants and bandages around their shins.
- The surname "Uzumaki" is a pun on "spiral" (渦巻), because it refers to a three-dimensional spiral, like a whirlpool or vortex. "Uzumaki" can also mean "whirlpool", in reference to the Naruto whirlpools (鳴門の渦潮), named after the city of Naruto.
- All of the fūinjutsu that have been created by this clan have the clan's spiral crest at the centre of their design.
- Red hair was a common trait among the members of the Uzumaki clan.[12][5]
- The anime character Honoka was hinted to be a member of the Uzumaki clan. She had red hair and fūinjutsu talents akin to the clan. In Naruto: Shippūden episode 227, Aoba also found a book stating that they had found a survivor of a "certain clan of ninja".[13]
- Tsunade and Nawaki are also descendants of the Uzumaki clan, through their grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
- Tsunade and Naruto are the only members of the Uzumaki clan that are both descendants/relatives of one of the Hokage to have also held the title of Hokage.

There's something reassuring about John Bogle's passion and the fact that it hasn't waned with age. We asked a few questions and got quite an earful (albeit a polite, gentlemanly earful).
We began by noting what is perceived as a sea change in financial services. Stung by criticism in the wake of the 2008 downturn that their products didn't deliver what was promised, companies are beginning to adopt more of a "client first" position. Does he believe this to be true, or will it be "more of the same" from the investment industry?
"It will always be more of the same," Vanguard's founder answered. "Although I agree I'm seeing a little more movement in the direction of serving clients' needs first."
The bigger sea change is one that's more personal to Bogle; the public and the media are finally beginning to "get" the advantages of low-cost indexing over higher-cost active management.
"The money flows into Vanguard and the corresponding outflows from the majority of the other top 50 firms is enormous," he marveled. "At this point, if you don't get the message [about the benefits of indexing], I feel sorry for you."
It's a message he said resonates and one that he believes is here to stay.
"I had a reporter recently ask me about the fact that indexing beat 83% of all managers last year," Bogle said. "He wanted to know how I felt about it. I said, 'I don't feel anything about it.' It's a random number. It is what it is. Sometimes it will perform better (although I don't think it can perform much better than that), and sometimes it will perform worse. But as a group of investors, we can't outguess what the other guy will do on a large scale. It simply won't work. It's beyond me why people don't get this."
If we could trade for free then investing would be a zero sum game, he added, but we can't so it isn't. The more investors trade, the more investors pay, and then only the traders making the fees win.
"People are getting this, and indexed-type products that feature simplicity will win," he said, before predicting "This will mark the next couple of years, at least. I read this type of thing in The Economist. It's the best possible commercial for Vanguard, and we're never even mentioned by name."
Part of his passion means he makes some people mad (obviously), which he did with pretty much the entire money management industry by recently calling for higher taxes on dividends and capital gains.
"No tax rate should be lower than for those who get up every day and earn a living from the furrow of their brain or the sweat of their brow," he said when asked about his contrarian stance on the subject. "Dividends are almost tax-free as it is, as 70% of dividend-paying investments are owned by tax-exempt institutions. Not many people realize that."
He added that he's "a little sensitive" to concerns about incentives for individuals to reinvest for retirement, and therefore would support making the first $10,000 or $20,000 somehow exempt, which he said would "help people save and at least do some social good."
"And as far as capital gains, speculators are gambling with those gains anyway," he added. "As I point out in my upcoming book, right now Wall Street is 99% speculation and only 1% investment. This isn't investing. Teddy Roosevelt was on to this argument in his speech all the way back in 1911 in Osawatomie, Kansas."
But what about the fact that the United States now has the highest corporate tax rate in the world?
"That is a barefaced lie," Bogle emphatically countered. "We all fall back on numbers that support our positions, but right now corporations pay an average of 20%, with many paying nothing. The best way to clear it up is to simply eliminate all the tricks in the tax code. But companies instead want to cut the corporate rate without eliminating the tricks. Cut or keep; you can't have both."

Here's some barroom banter-material for the three day weekend: psychologists at the University of Bristol have shown that "young, healthy people" (students and faculty from the University) drank beer faster when it was served up in a curved flute glass (pictured on the right) than they did when it was served to them in a straight glass (pictured on the left).
ScienceNOW's Emily Underwood explains:
[Lead researcher Angela Attwood] believes that the reason for the increase in speed is that the halfway point in a curved glass is ambiguous. Social beer drinkers, she says, naturally tend to pace themselves when drinking alcohol, judging their speed by how fast they reach half-full. Another experiment in which participants were asked to judge different levels of fluid in photographs of straight and curved glasses showed that people consistently misjudge the volume in fluted glasses, Attwood says. A simple solution to this problem would be to mark beer glasses with the accurate halfway point, she says. "We can't tell people not to drink, but we can give them a little more control."
The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of PLOS ONE. Read more about the study over at ScienceNOW.

This week I have been at the Natural History Museum in London collecting data for my PhD project.
My project is looking at the size and shape change of the Aurochs across Europe over time. The Aurochs was the ancestor of domestic cattle, it appeared during the Middle Pleistocene and went extinct in Poland in 1627AD. In Britain they went extinct during the Bronze Age. This animal was quite commonly hunted by humans until domestication took place. The Aurochs was very similar to our modern day cattle, but larger. Some of the males were massive – often over 2 metres tall. Below you can see a couple of pictures of what they look like. You can imagine the amount of meat that you would get from one of these if you successfully hunted it, and you can see the size of the bones that I'm dealing with! My data collection consists of visiting Aurochs assemblages and taking measurements from the postcranial (limb bones) and teeth, as well as from the skulls.
The data collection part of my work has taken me to various places across Europe. So far I have visited Portugal, Denmark and Poland, and later this year I will also visit Italy and France. This summer I am concentrating on the British material. This will take me to a number of museums, including the Natural History Museum in London and the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
This blog post will talk about what I have been up to over the whole week, because then this gives you a sense of the different material I have been working on.
I had visited the NHM very briefly before so I knew pretty much what to expect, however you never know what you might find in hiding away there, so I was pretty excited about my visit. At the start of the week I was booked in to look at material held by the Mammal Group, then later on in the week I visited the Palaeontology Department too. The general rule is that the Palaeontology Department deals with anything up to the end of the Pleistocene, and then the Mammal Group keeps material from the Holocene (the Mesolithic onwards), with a few exceptions.
When you first arrive at the NHM you have to go through a number of security checks and they issue you with a security pass so that you can get 'behind the scenes' so to speak. I arrived at the Fleet theatre entrance on Exhibition road with a lot of stuff – I had all of my equipment, and other stuff to keep me going for the week. The security guard wanted to search all of my bags and was especially intrigued by the metal implements that I had with me. These included two pairs of callipers. One smaller pair for taking smaller measurements, and a larger pair curved callipers which I had brought in order to take measurements from massive skulls. In the end he seemed satisfied that I wasn't going to try and kill anyone with them and let me go through.
Next I met up Roberto Portela from the mammal group who organised my security pass. Only then was I allowed loose on the bones. In the mammal group you aren't allowed to take any bags or food down to the stores, you have to take everything you need down in a plastic box, so this always takes a little while to sort out. Then we went down to the basement. I was given a desk in the centre of the mammal collections surrounded by tall cupboards full of bones, and glass cases with articulated skeletons. There was no one else down there and it might have been a bit scary if it wasn't for the fact that I was thoroughly distracted by the bones.
In the mammal group I was primarily interested in material from the site of Star Carr, a Mesolithic site in Yorkshire. A lot of aurochs were excavated from here, along with a large amount of Red Deer, and other wild animals. I was given access to the appropriate cupboards and then it was up to me to have a rummage through to see what I could find. Often it takes longer to find good bones to record than to actually record and measure them. Every museum (or even museum department) has a different system and many museums do not have an electronic database so you have to check things manually. This can be annoying, but also exciting because you could always randomly come across things that you weren't expecting.
I managed to track down all of the material I needed and by the end of the day I had made a good start on it. On Tuesday I was able to get going a lot earlier because I didn't have to deal with so much security and working was much faster once I had got into a rhythm.
The way that zooarchaeologists record bones can differ depending on their project. Some people try to identify every piece of bone if they can, but this can be very time consuming, especially if you have a very large number of bones. One way of getting round this is to decide on specific parts of bones that you will record. Because primarily I am interested in measurements, my protocol focuses on the parts of bones that will be able to provide me with that information. For example the distal end (the bottom end) of long bones, because these provide very useful information. I record all of my bones in an access database which, along with excel, I will later use to do my statistical analysis.
By the end of Tuesday I had finished recording most of the aurochs bones from Star Carr and a few other sites with less material. These included Thatcham, and East Ham. On Wednesday morning I only needed to come back to measure 3 skulls – these were in great condition, and absolutely massive. This may have something to do with the fact that they were much older than a lot of the bones I have been looking at – they were from the Pleistocene.
By Wednesday afternoon I was finished in the Mammal Group so I phoned Andy Currant in the Palaeontology Department and went over there to see what stuff they had. I spent the remainder of Wednesday afternoon and the whole of Thursday there.
The Palaeontology department had material from a site called Ilford in Essex. This material has been dated to the late middle Pleistocene so is much older than the Star Carr stuff, and much bigger! Surprisingly, considering it's age, this material was also in much better condition than that from Star Carr, with many complete bones. Complete bones take longer than partial bones to record because there are more measurements to be taken so it actually took me a fair while to record all of the bones. There were a number of skulls found at Ilford, some with complete horncores. These were neatly packed into a cupboard but were extremely heavy and difficult to get out. We spent a long time figuring out what was the best way of moving them.
After I had recorded all of the bones from Ilford I had a hunt around to see if there was any other material that could be useful. The staff in the Palaeontology department were extremely helpful, and provided me with a list of potential sites, and cupboard numbers. Still, I had to hunt through quite a few cupboards and drawers before I eventually found another assemblage that would be useful. The material was from a site called Grays Thurrock. This stuff was less complete than that from Ilford, but there were an awful lot of teeth, which took a while to record.
Finally at 4pm on Thursday I finished with all of the material in the Palaeontology Department, and treated myself to some tea and cake in the museum cafe (I recommend the lemon drizzle – a real treat!).
So that brings us to the end of your whirlwind tour of my time at the Natural History Museum. If you have been inspired by zooarchaeology and want to find out more about the kinds of things that we do, then go here to the webpage of my research group: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/archaeology/research/zooarchaeology/

While its so easy to serve your Passover desserts from a can, there is nothing more delicious than a homemade macaroon, especially if you are lucky enough to get a recipe from Jennifer Abadi, community chef and cookbook author intent on preserving the recipes of her Sephardic heritage. The main ingredient for this Passover dessert is the Pistachio nut or "fisto." These nuts are a favorite snack of the Syrian Jewish community tracing back to the old days in where they would most certainly crack pistachio nuts while playing a good game of toleh or backgammon with friends. You can find shelled pistachio nuts in Kosher Corner on McDonald Avenue in Brooklyn, or from Ohnuts.com.
Ka'ik ib'Fis'dok (Syrian Style Pistachio Macaroons)
1 1/2 cups shelled, unsalted pistachios
Egg whites from 2 large eggs
1 to 2 teaspoons orange blossom water (optional), to taste
3/4 cup granulated sugar
*Confectioners' sugar, for decoration
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the pistachios in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric hand-held mixer until stiff peaks form. (If you decide to add the orange water, fold it into the beaten egg whites at this point.) Gently pour the sugar over the stiff egg whites and fold in with a wooden spoon. Add the ground pistachios and fold in with wooden spoon until fully mixed into the egg white mixture.
4. One tablespoon at a time, place the pistachio "dough" on a greased baking sheet, leaving 1 inch in between each cookie. Bake until lightly golden around the edges, about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Cool for half an hour before removing from the sheet or the cookies may break apart too easily. (You may freeze the cookies at this point by placing them between layers of wax paper and tightly sealing inside a plastic container. They will last up to 3 weeks. When ready to serve, remove each layer of cookies on the wax paper and place on the countertop to defrost for half an hour. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar and serve.) Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with confectioners' sugar and serve on a decorative platter with pistachio or vanilla ice cream (or with sorbet).
Yield: Serves 6 to 10 (about 1 to 11/2 dozen cookies)
*Note: If cornstarch is added, then its use is prohibited to Ashkenazim during Passover. Try the following as a substitute:
"Mock" Confectioner's Sugar for Passover
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons potato starch
2/3 cup superfine white sugar
1. Pulse together in a food processor (about 2 minutes) to combine.
2. Sprinkle on top of your favorite Passover dessert for decoration
Yield: 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (18 tablespoons)

Do You Know How To Count To Three?
Milton Bradley doesn't. In the eighth inning of yesterday's game, he caught a deep fly ball near the warning track, and tossed the ball into the stands, assuming that he had caught the third out. Now there was minimal impact on the play, Nick Punto had already scored via the sacrifice fly. But runner Brendan Harris was able to move up to third because of the gaff, and if Alfonso Soriano had missed Justin Morneau's fly ball, then well…. uh….. uh…. uh…. aha! The Cubs would have lost 8-4, instead of 7-4. Now, Milton
how can we teach you to count to three? Three is the fourth number when you're discussing outs in baseball. The numbers for outs go 0, 1, 2, 3. Or perhaps you prefer zero, one, two, three.
Let's revisit that inning yesterday, when Nick Punto singled, there were 0 outs, when Luis Ayala bunted, and Punto advanced to second, there was 1 out, when Brendan Harris singled, and Punto moved up to third, there was still 1 out, when Joe Mauer hit a fly ball to you, and you caught it, there were 2 outs, and when Justin Morneau flew out to Alfonso Soriano, then there were 3 outs, and the inning was over.
A quote from Uncle Milton:
"The other fly ball [in the eighth], I turned my back to shade the sun some," he said. "I caught it. I exhaled, and I was still seeing purple and green spots because I was looking into the sun. I sensed that something wasn't right. My heart was in the right place, I tried to give a souvenir. It was messed up."
At least it's not screaming at umpires, or storming the broadcast booth, some of Bradley's earlier exploits.
This Day In Baseball History
1905-Giants' hurler Christy Mathewson pitches his second career no-hitter defeating the Cubs, 1-0.
1913-In the top of the ninth inning with no outs at New York's Polo Grounds, Christy Mathewson strands a runner on third base to record his 300th career victory as the Giants edge the Cubs, 3-2. During his 17-year major league career, 'Big Six' will compile a 373-188 record.
1924-After Bob Meusel get hit with a pitch in his back in the top of the ninth, the Yankee outfielder hurls his bat at Tiger pitcher Bert Cole, and charges the mound. The resulting melee, including players, fans and police, lasts for nearly 30 minutes and when ump Billy Evans is unable to clear the field, he forfeits the game to New York, 10-6.
1948-With the crowd of 49,641 singing 'Auld Lang Syne' to the Babe, the Yankees celebrate the silver anniversary of Yankee Stadium by holding 'Babe Ruth Day'. With members of the 1923 team (the first team to play in the stadium) looking on, the dying superstar's uniform number 3 is retired and sent to Cooperstown.
1957-Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams becomes the first American Leaguer to have two three-homer games in one season. The 'Splendid Splinter' drives in five runs helping Boston to defeat the Indians, 9-3.
1957-At Comiskey Park, an ugly brawl, precipitated by an Art Ditmar pitch behind Larry Doby's head, breaks out when the White Sox infielder takes exception to being the target of the bean ball and punches the Yankee hurler. Billy Martin, Walt Dropo, Bill Skowron and Enos Slaughter all actively participate in the melee.
1973-The Dodgers infield which will be together 8 1/2 years, setting a major league record for longevity, play together the first time. First baseman Steve Garvey, second baseman Davey Lopes, third baseman Ron Cey and shortstop Bill Russell are in the line up in the 16-3 defeat to the Phillies.
1994-At the age of 34, Cub second baseman Ryne Sandberg suddenly retires walking away from $16 million.
1998-The first triple play ever completed at Dodger Stadium is turned by Darren Dreifort, Eric Young, Jose Vizcaino and Bobby Bonilla.
1999-With his Astros ahead 4-1 in the 8th inning, the game is suspended when Houston manager Larry Dierker can't speak, falls and begins shaking violently due to a gran mal seizure.
2003-On his fourth attempt, Roger Clemens becomes the 21st pitcher and the first since 1990 to record 300 career wins as the 40-year-old righty goes 6 2/3 innings in the Yankees' 5-2 inter-league victory over the Cardinals. In the second inning when Edgar Renteria swings through full-count fastball, the 'Rocket' also joins Nolan Ryan (5,714) and Steve Carlton (4,136) as just the third hurler to record 4000 career strikeouts.

Classroom Beautiful - Jennifer Larson
First Grade Teacher, Alexandria City Public Schools, Virginia
I have been teaching for 15 years in kindergarten, fourth, and first grade. For my first nine years, I worked with a very challenging student population. Many students had both emotional and academic concerns.
Many had little book exposure prior to kindergarten. While it was exhausting, demanding, and required daily reflection, those first nine years molded me and created who I am today.
I learned to reduce down time. I carefully thought through all the transitions. I learned to anticipate and prevent problems instead of always solving them.
In the beginning of my career, most teachers used the "pull-a-card" behavior system. This is where students pull a card (similar to soccer penalties) when they break a rule. I found it was NOT effective, especially with students who were already on the edge of anger. If a child pulled a card first thing in the morning and it made him/her angry, they continued to spiral down until there were no cards left. Then what do you do after the cards are gone? I use a positive-focused behavior system. Praise is the most motivating tactic! I often whisper compliments in a child's ear. If I do need to whisper a redirection, it is also done privately. I learned that respect is something you earn by showing it to students first. I learned that loving goes farther than any other quality you can have. I know that students want to be in school, they want to learn. If something is not working for a child, there's usually something you, as a teacher, need to change.
I believe in building community in the class. I don't make all the rules. The kids make many of them. It's based on the Responsive Classroom system. The kids are a family. They want to do the right thing because it feels good to them. Most of our learning takes place in centers. The students rotate through centers starting with one table and working around the room. They sit in groups at tables, with a common supply box for each table. They don't have their own desks and are not assigned seats at a table. This encourages all students to learn to work together. Soon into the school year, they know the routines and are quite independent workers. This independence frees me to work on individualized instruction with small groups.
I like a spacious open room. I need to have a clear view of all students from my small group table. I like to have all materials out and available for student use. I label everything in the room. When you have kids who can't read well yet, or are English language learners, use pictures as well as words to label the room. When the students are ready, they will begin to connect the words to the pictures. If they are not ready, they have the visual support they need.

Norwich have failed with an appeal against goalkeeper Mark Bunn's red card in Sunday's Premier League match at Sunderland.
The Canaries confirmed on their website that the FA had upheld referee Chris Foy's decision to dismiss Bunn after he was ruled to have handled outside his area in the 30th minute of the 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.
Bunn will serve his one-match suspension when Norwich face Wigan at the DW Stadium on March 30.
"An appeal by City against the red card shown to Mark Bunn by referee Chris Foy during Sunday's Barclays Premier League game away to Sunderland has been rejected by an independent regulatory commission appointed by the FA," the Norwich statement read.
"Mr Foy dismissed Bunn in the 30th minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, when he charged down a back-header from team-mate Michael Turner outside the box under pressure from Sunderland striker Danny Graham.
"The relevant FIFA law states a player will be dismissed for 'denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball'.
"City appealed to the FA that Bunn had not deliberately handled the ball – but this was rejected and the keeper's suspension for the forthcoming Wigan game will remain in place."
With first-choice goalkeeper John Ruddy sidelined by injury, Bunn's suspension will mean a start for third-choice Lee Camp, who made his Canaries debut when coming on as a substitute at the weekend.

Social Media Has Good and Bad Effects on Kids: Experts
Sites like Facebook build communities, but bullying, 'sexting' can occur too, pediatrics group says
MONDAY, March 28, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Social media Web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for kids. And a new report suggests they can have real benefits and risks for children.
These sites, and virtual gaming worlds, allow users to interact with each other and they are where children and adolescents are spending a lot, if not most, of their free time, according to a report on the impact of social media just released by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The report, published online March 28 in Pediatrics, says that more than half of adolescents log on to a social media Web site at least once a day, and nearly one-quarter of teens say they log on to their favorite social media sites 10 or more times each day.
So, what kind of an impact is all that time spent fraternizing over technology instead of in person having on today's youth?
"Social media sites are mostly good. They're where kids socialize and where they connect together today," said report author Dr. Gwenn O'Keeffe, CEO and editor-in-chief of Pediatrics Now. "Kids' social spaces are shrinking. They don't have the places or the time to hang out like their parents did. Social media allows them to have time to reconnect. But, it has to be done in a way that's not all-encompassing," O'Keeffe said.
"For this to happen, it works better if kids have parents that they can engage with. The best rule of thumb is to be 'friends' with your child on Facebook. If a kid won't friend a parent, it's usually a sign that something's not right," she cautioned.
"Just like most people wouldn't let kids cook in the kitchen or drive a car without first teaching them, kids need to know how Facebook works and how to be on it appropriately. Don't assume that your kid knows all these things," she said.
Younger children may try to lie about their age to get on to sites, like Facebook, that have strict age limits, said O'Keeffe. She said parents shouldn't condone this. "Facebook is geared toward teen age and up. There are ads and content on the site for an older group. Normally, you wouldn't let your 11-year-old hang out with 16-year-olds. Plus, if you let younger kids on these sites, you're teaching them that it's OK to lie."
The report found that social media encourage kids to connect with each other and to express their creativity. They also provide an opportunity for learning, and are a way for teens to access health information. And, kids that have chronic illnesses can find others with their condition and get support they might not otherwise have access to.
But, these sites are not without risk, according to the report. One of the biggest risks is cyberbullying and online harassment.
"Technology is an extension of what goes on in the real world. Bullying was around before the Internet, but cyberbullying makes it easier," explained Dr. Brian Primack, an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Primack also noted that children are hardwired to experiment and push boundaries. Today's technology may just make that easier. Primack pointed out that "sexting" is a good example of this. Sexting is defined as "sending, receiving or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photographs or images via cell phone, computer or other digital devices," according to the report.
"Kids have always wanted to look at nude pictures, and today, taking and sending a picture can be done in a second," Primack said, adding that such pictures could come back to haunt children years later.
"We need more technology infrastructure, and pediatricians need to be ready to intervene and help educate young people and their parents on how to be more media literate, and how they can evaluate the types of things they're exposed to," said Primack.
Another potential risk of social media has been dubbed "Facebook depression." When preteens and teens spend too much time on social media sites, they may begin to show classic signs of depression, such as changing sleep and eating habits, experiencing mood swings, hanging out with different friends or becoming socially isolated, according to O'Keeffe.
O'Keeffe said that while parents need to have open discussions with their children and teens about their online media use, parents probably don't need to be "hypervigilant" about computer use. "We don't keep an eye on our children all the time in real life. At some point, we have to take a certain comfort in the way that we've raised them, and have that confidence that they'll make appropriate choices," she said.
Both experts suggested that if you're concerned about your child's or teen's use of today's technology, your pediatrician can likely help you resolve the issue.

The US women's soccer team lost to Sweden today, 1-0, in Portugal's Algarve Cup. It was vengeance for the Swedes on a few of levels. For one, the USWNT's streak started with a 2012 Algarve Cup victory over Sweden. Our ladies' coach way back then? Pia Sundhage, who has since left the Yanks to coach her home country—Sweden.
The Algarve Cup is Portugal's annual tournament, and one of the more important women's international contests, on that second tier behind the World Cup and the Olympics. The Americans win this thing almost all the time—our nine titles are the most in the tournament's history—but this year we're out early. The Sweden match was only the second in group play but our 1-1 draw with Japan earlier in the week means the best the USWNT could place is second—eligible only for the 3rd place game.
The USWNT fielded a strong side, full of the regular internationals you'd expect had this been the World Cup. The big absences were up front, with both Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux unavailable to play due to injury and illness, respectively. Abby Wambach's penalty, which that would have given the US an early lead, was saved and the US women couldn't convert any of the myriad other chances they created into goals.
Sweden are no slouches, though, so it's not terribly surprising that they came out on top today. They are ranked the sixth best women's national team, host one of the stronger women's leagues, and now have the aforementioned Sundhage—an all-time great soccer coach—back to lead her countrywomen. The move was a long time coming. Sundhage often stated her desire to coach her own country at some point even when in charge of the US. After winning gold with the USWNT in the 2012 Olympics, thus avenging their loss in the 2011 World Cup, the Swede felt the moment was right to make the switch.
As for the USWNT, this is no big deal. Probably. The Americans failed to win the tourney in 2012 a couple months before they won that Olympic gold, so not topping the group isn't all that worrying. The only possible concern could be how the USWNT copes with the filling the shoes of a few aging stalwarts, chief among them Abby Wambach. Everyone expects the Leroux-Morgan strike tandem to lead the US front line for years to come but deciding when that day starts will be tricky with a legend like Wambach. Plus, can't Tobin Heath get a start?
Anyways, there is still the last group stage game against Denmark on Monday, plus the consolation game after that. If all of this has piqued your interest, I have bad news, though: the Cup isn't televised in the US. You can follow along with the USWNT's twitter feed or on their website.

"…You misunderstand, it is true I choose not to feel anything as my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing: anger, confusion, loneliness, fear – I had experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again." — Spock
"Don't agree with me Spock, it makes me very uncomfortable." — McCoy
The opening vignette of Star Trek Into Darkness has Kirk and McCoy disguised on a red Class M planet. Kirk holds a scroll and is running away. The Natives follow, throw spears at him and at McCoy, as well. However, Kirk's actions had been a distraction, so the Enterprise's shuttle can drop Spock, in a fire suit to drop a cold fusion device into the active and ready to erupt volcano to prevent the eruption and save the indigenous life on the planet. Kirk and McCoy dive into the water to escape the natives, and board the Enterprise. However, Spock is in trouble and could be killed. Kirk and the Enterprise save Spock, but incur Star Fleet's wrath at the flagrant disregard for the Prime Directive.
A mysterious man (Benedict Cumberbatch) offers to cure the ill daughter of a Star Fleet officer. The officer soon discovers the price as he has to blow-up a Star Fleet Archive building.
Pike finds Kirk in a bar, and brings him back to Starfleet. He asks Kirk to be his first officer, Kirk accepts, and Pike takes him to a gathering of all Starfleet's captains and first officers to discuss the destruction of the Archive and Starfleet's response to the terror attack. Kirk, wonders, however, why anyone would destroy an archive, especially when the information held there is public record. Just as Admiral Marcus, Pike, and Kirk are realising that protocol for an attack calls for just this occurrance – all the captains and first officers in one room, the room is attacked by a helicopter-like gunship. (Because apparently Starfleet never heard the old adage about not putting all your eggs in one basket.) Pike's killed.
Admiral Marcus calls Kirk and Spock into his office, he offers Kirk the Enterprise again, and Kirk asks for, and is granted, Spock as his first officer. But Marcus's plan is chilling – not only does he want Kirk to track down "John Harrison" the ex-Starfleet officer responsible for the attack – he wants Kirk to kill him. Specifically, even though Harrison is hiding on the Klingon home world and an attack on the home world would lead to all-out war, he wants Kirk to hide in the Neutral Zone and fire a new long-range photon torpedo at the uninhabited province where Harrison is hiding and obliterate him.
Scotty quits when the torpedoes are loaded on the Enterprise, and the security detail with them refuses to tell him what the payload is. Scotty fears an interaction with the warp core. Kirk accepts Scotty's resignation.
During the trip to the Neutral Zone, however, Kirk has second thoughts (helped by his conversation with Scotty, and additional conversations with McCoy and Spock) about blindly following the orders of Admiral Marcus to kill Harrison rather than capture him.
Kirk decides rather than killing Harrison outright, Kirk decides to capture Harrison. He will take a landing party, and using the transport vessel from "the Mudd incident" will land on the Klingon home world, capture Harrison, and return him to Earth. Kirk, Spock, Uhura and a guard take the shuttle down. Uhura attempts to reach an agreement with the Klingons who attack their ship and force it down. She's doing OK, when they are attacked. The fire fight is chaotic, but a mysterious man rescues them.
Kirk brings this man, Harrison, to the Enterprise and locks him in the brig. However, he soon learns from the man, that, as Admiral Marcus had pointed out, the Archive that was destroyed wasn't an archive or library – it was Section 31 HQ, home to Starfleet's secret military and spy organization. Moreover, Harrison wasn't simply an agent there as Marcus said. Harrison is Khan, a genetically engineered superhuman, who, with 72 other similar super humans was sent from Earth many years ago. Marcus found his ship, kept the crew in cryo-suspension, but revived Khan. Seeing Khan as the brilliant warrior he needed, he gave him a new identity (John Harrison) and set him to work developing weapons for Starfleet. Khan tells Kirk, he had no choice, Marcus held his crew hostage. However, he rebelled against being forced to make weapons and to create a "militarized Starfleet" – which was Marcus's dream.
Kirk isn't sure how much of this he buys, but he's keeping an open mind, deciding to bring Harrison/Khan to Earth to tell his tale.
It's easier said than done, when two problems occur: first, the Enterprise Engine Core leak, that had stranded the ship short of it's warp point goal, is getting much worse, threatening the entire ship. And second, Admiral Marcus has arrived and is he pissed off that Kirk hasn't killed Harrison/Khan, talked to Khan, and might believe Khan.
From what Marcus says, it's clear that at least some of what Khan has said is true.
However, Marcus beams his daughter Carol from the Enterprise to his own dreadnought-class ship then attacks the Enterprise. Kirk, who's also heard from Scotty, who checked on some co-ordinates Khan gave him. Khan convinces Kirk the only way to defeat the dreadnought is from within. Scotty has hidden aboard the ship. Kirk and Khan space jump to the other ship, using jets to maneuver. During the jump, Khan saves Kirk's life. Scotty lets them in.
But on the bridge, Khan shows his true colors. He wants revenge on Marcus. Kirk tries to arrest Marcus. Khan kills him. Kirk, Carol, and Scotty are transported to the Enterprise brig. Spock had transported the torpedoes to the dreadnought. However, the torpedoes were primed and blow the ship. Khan escapes. Khan's crew, the 72 cryo tubes are in sickbay on the Enterprise.
However, the Enterprise is in trouble – the damage to the warp core is so bad the ship is dying and about to crash into Earth. Kirk and Scotty try to fix the ship, but the engine core is mis-aligned, and can't be fixed because of the radiation in the compartment. Kirk goes into the compartment to fix it. He succeeds and saves the ship but is dying from radiation poisoning. Spock pulls the ship out of it's dive. Scotty calls him and asks him to come down. He goes, and in a reverse of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, it's Kirk who dies and Spock who must watch. Their fingers even touch on the glass separating them. Spock screams, "Khan!".
Khan, meanwhile tries to crash his ship into Starfleet HQ and misses (He does destroy the Great Fire Memorial in San Francisco though.) Spock chases down Khan, ready to kill him for killing Kirk. Uhura stops him – McCoy's realised that Khan's blood can save Kirk, because of it's regenerative abilities.
This works, and Kirk Lives. One year later, Kirk re-dedicates the new Enterprise, reciting "the Captain's Oath", which we know as the opening to classic Star Trek.
JJ Abrams directs Star Trek: Into Darkness at a breakneck speed. The film moves, extremely fast – so fast, it's hard to keep up with it at times. However, the film also has it's moments. Harrison, as played brilliantly by Benedict Cumberbatch, is brilliant, from lone terrorist, to scientist who's work is poached for weapons, to revenge-seeking madman, each of Khan's roles is well played. I avoided all spoilers when this movie came out last year, even the name of Cumberbatch's character – so I was surprised to find out that "Harrison" was Khan. I enjoyed the film in the theater and enjoyed watching it again yesterday. The film is fun, and the cast is excellent. I really do like Pine, Quinto, and Urban. And Cumberbatch played a multi-faceted villain with relish and even, at times, compassion. Peter Weller was scary-good as the villainous Admiral Marcus.
Though not too much – because even if Marcus had cold-bloodily killed Khan's crew, Khan's attacks would have been over-kill. The film, like the best Star Trek episodes and films raises questions. Questions about the power of the military, questions about the ability for news events to be shaped, and public opinion to be manipulated. And it's Kirk's noted ability to stand against the rules and go with his gut that save him and his crew. Kirk is willing to follow rules and regulations as needed, but he won't stand by and watch a planet die because of them – nor will he kill a criminal who should rather be put on trial. It's a enjoyable rollar-coaster of a film, with a bit more to it, and I liked it.
Recommendation: See It!
