Associated Press
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered an aggressive defense Wednesday of the secret prisoner exchange of five Taliban detainees for a U.S. soldier, telling Congress that the risks were too great and the situation too uncertain for the administration to tell lawmakers about the plan.
In a nearly five-hour Capitol Hill hearing that was at times contentious, House members accused Hagel and the White House of not trusting them enough to follow the law and fill them in on the decision to exchange Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five detainees at the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
An equally combative Hagel said the deal provided "the best possibility that we had to get him out, and we were concerned we might lose it." He said officials discussed the law requiring that Congress get a 30-day notice of detainee exchanges but said the Justice Department told them that in such extreme circumstances, President Barack Obama had the constitutional authority to forgo the notice.
The Justice Department declined to comment on advice it gave the White House.
The first Obama administration official to testify about the prisoner swap, Hagel acknowledged up-front that the matter could have been handled better. But he offered no apology for keeping Congress in the dark, insisting that Qatari officials negotiating the swap between the U.S. and the Taliban made it clear that "time was not on our side."
U.S. officials said last week that intelligence suggested that the captors might have killed Bergdahl if word of the swap leaked out.
Calling the operation an "extraordinary situation," Hagel said there were concerns about Bergdahl's health and safety, the last-minute arrangements over where to pick up the soldier and persistent fears the Taliban may have been negotiating in bad faith. He said the deal came together only in the final 96 hours, and that the commandos sent to retrieve Bergdahl knew the exact location only an hour before the exchange.
Republicans and Democrats questioned the wisdom of releasing the five Taliban members, saying they could return to the battlefield. Administration officials have told Congress that four of the five Taliban officials likely will rejoin the fight.
@ parlayhenny Every time, you post something you show the world just how stupid you really are. First do you really believe that the muslim friends of OBAMMY are just going to back home and live peacefully YEAH RIGHT! They are probably already planning their next attack. But its fools like you who will probably blame Bush for it.. You are just one of the many reasons that this country is going down fast to a third rate country You probably also think that its okay for OBAMMY to break our laws along with Geneva Convention rules too You are the really STUPID ONE !!!!!!!!!!

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson is counting down the days until the spin-off America's Funniest Celebrity Sex Home Videos arrives.
The Charge
Ha! That kid fell on his face!.
Opening Statement
In 1989, that tall gangly fella from Full House walked on stage and introduced the viewing populace to what would soon become a national sensation: America's Funniest Home Videos. Fifteen years later, the show charges onward, now with Tom Bergeron at the helm, providing America with an unending onslaught of bumbling idiots caught on tape. And I'm not talking about C-SPAN, either.
Facts of the Case
So what exactly do you need to know about America's Funniest Home Videos? It was an early 1990s phenomenon whose popularity kind of petered out. However, the show is still on, and people are still sending in their stuff: wedding catastrophes, body hair catching on fire, idiots riding their bikes into parked vehicles, dogs and cats attacking each other, babies puking, toddlers saying inappropriate things, construction site screw-ups, improbable basketball shots, lame practical jokes, and the omnipresent shots to the family jewels.
Following Bob Saget's departure, Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang took over in 1997. Then in 2000, Tom Bergeron stepped in for hosting duties. Also, the show shortened its bulky title to the hipper acronym "AFV."
This batch of episodes—over nine hours' worth!—from Shout! Factory features twelve episodes hosted by Bergeron, the $100,000 season finale, and the 300th episode special, a concoction of some of the AFV highlights from years past.
The Evidence
If you're a fan of the AFV parade of buffoons, this set is for you. Shout! Factory has loaded you up with hours of videotaped shenanigans, and while it's a mixed bag of stupid and funny, if it's your thang you'll be satisfied.
In my humble opinion, the ratio of unfunny to funny clips is about four to one. Those aren't bad odds, actually. But again, this will be an attractive calculation only if this is the kind of stuff that tickles your particular funny bone. That's about as detailed a commentary I can offer on the clips themselves. Some are very funny. Some are okay. Some are pointless. You know the drill.
However, I wasn't totally on board with Tom Bergeron. The guy's got some natural charm, he's apparently the de facto host for programs featuring C-list celebrities, and he hails from northern New England. Those are all checks in the plus column, but, frankly, his material was lacking. Bob Saget was no laugh-generating maestro on the original version of the show, but he had the benefit of larger-scale production values. Here the pomp and circumstance of the big $10,000 payoffs and the dramatic "locking in their vote" portion of the past is lacking. In this toned-down version of the show, much of the responsibility for padding the time falls to Tom (and of course the writers) and, well, the jokes suck. But what are you going to do? It's a thankless job hosting a clip show, and coming up with creative segues to yet another montage of dogs humping appliances leaves little wiggle room for sterling comical craftsmanship.
That said, Tom is nowhere near as vapid as the live audience he must entertain. I've always believed that the studio audiences for America's Funniest Home Videos consisted of automatons permanently set on "cheesy." I mean, how could someone laugh that hard at a cat eating a birthday cake? It's not humanly possible! I suspect there's a secret lab buried somewhere beneath the castle at Walt Disney World that manufactures synthetic cornball audience members for use on AFV, the set of That '70s Show, and every single infomercial ever made.
The show receives little doctoring in its DVD release. The full-screen aspect ratio has been preserved, and it is adequate. The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo mix does what it has to, mainly transmitting the high-pitched yelps of pain from the hapless yahoos who get a whiffleball bat in the crotch.
The 300th episode bonus is pretty cool. It's long (90 minutes) and sports a highlight reel of clips from the past seasons, including a stultifying series of baby-vomiting clips. Unfortunately, you're also going to have to endure some mind-numbing reminiscence from ABC "stars" like Jim Belushi and Star Jones.
Closing Statement
I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at some of these clips. But this set is recommended only if you're a fan of the show.
The Verdict
Not guilty. Idiots of America, continue to carry that camcorder everywhere you go!
Give us your feedback!
Did we give America's Funniest Home Videos: Volume 1 a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson held up the honor of the organization for which he fights, defeating PRIDE 205-pound kingpin Dan Henderson on points Saturday night inside a sold-out O2 Arena in London, England.
Billed as mixed martial arts' first world title unification bout, Jackson and Henderson went to war for five rounds inside the octagon, each man offering the best of their respective games.
Judges at ringside saw it unanimously for Jackson (48-47, 49-46, 49-46), who finished the fight strong as he bullied Henderson, a two-time U.S. Greco-Roman Olympic wrestler, to the floor and rained down punches.
It was Henderson, however, who took the early grappling edge.
Working well in the clinch, the PRIDE champion, who signed with UFC after its parent company, Zuffa, purchased PRIDE in March of this year, put Jackson on the mat and controlled the Memphis fighter.
The 29-year-old Jackson (28-6) rebounded well in the second, using his size to wear on Henderson, who also held PRIDE's 183-pound title before the company's demise.
The two battled in tight quarters for much of the 25-minute clash.
When Jackson controlled from the top position, he scored more often with heavier strikes, yet Henderson, fighting out of Temecula, Calif., continually looked to stand or reverse, which he did in the third round while attempting a Kimura.
The fighters traded blows in spots, but primarily made the bout a grappling contest. Jackson was surprisingly effective in keeping Henderson (22-6) on the canvas, and it gave him a three-rounds-to-one edge on two of the judges' cards heading into the fifth.
In the final stanza both fighters landed heavy leather. While Jackson teed off with two left hands, Henderson, 37, answered with a right hand and a body-lock takedown.
Jackson returned to his feet to score a takedown of his own before finishing out the round by firing downward punches at Henderson, who was pressed against the cage.
The win was Jackson's first UFC title defense since winning the belt in May against Chuck Liddell.
On the undercard, despite showing improved striking arsenal, Matt Hamill's failure to control UK's Michael Bisping on the canvas saw him fall short on points after three rounds.
Rivals during the third season of "The Ultimate Fighter" -- which Bisping won -- the two met Saturday with most expecting Bisping to walk away an easy winner. Yet Hamill was anything but easy to put away.
Slugging it out on the feet to start, Hamill (3-1) connected with power shots that frustrated Bisping to the point of screaming in his corner between the second and third periods.
The fight seemed in Hamill's grasp, yet several times he chose to let Bisping stand after taking down "The Count."
Bisping picked away at Hamill, consistently moving around the cage looking for jabs and power punches. He also kicked, but each attempt seemed to end with him on the floor.
In the end, two of the three judges at ringside felt the British fighter, still undefeated at 14-0, did enough to win with scores of 29-28, while a third official saw it the other way, 30-27.
One year ago it would have been blasphemous to suggest Mirko Filipovic would be 1-2 in UFC competition against the likes of Eddie Sanchez, Gabriel Gonzaga and Cheick Kongo. But with his uninspired performance against the underdog Kongo, Filipovic dropped his second consecutive fight inside the octagon and might have lost any chance of challenging for the UFC heavyweight belt.
"Cro-Cop" stalked Kongo throughout the first period but never found the range to land the left high kick that had made him a star in Japan and a cult hero among fight fans.
In the second and third periods, the muscular Frenchman moved forward, battering the smaller Filipovic (22-6-2) with knees to the thighs and punches to the head.
Kongo, now 11-3-1, also spent time working over Filipovic on the canvas, scoring with elbows and short chopping punches.
Judges at ringside each saw it 29-28 in favor of Kongo.
Marcus Davis has quietly emerged as a contender in the welterweight division, and with Saturday's come-from-behind win against Paul Taylor he showed an improved submission game to compliment his power-striking game.
England's Taylor (8-2-1, 1 NC) punched his way off the fence in the early going before landing two kicks to the body and one to the head that felled Davis.
Taylor pounced and scored with a flurry of hammerfists, yet the Bangor, Maine, resident remained composed and countered to top position. Taking strikes from Davis, who passed guard to side-control and then mount, Taylor bucked his hips to escape.
Davis (13-3) transitioned beautifully to an armbar and induced a tapout at 4:14 of the first round.
Houston Alexander showed his stunning knockout of Keith Jardine earlier this year wasn't a fluke. The light heavyweight from Omaha, Nebraska, pummeled Alessio Sakara before referee Yves Lavigne stepped in just 61 seconds after the opening bell.
Both fighters came out swinging, but it was Alexander (8-1) who took control with a head-snapping knee that forced Sakara (11-6-0, 1 NC) to the canvas.
With the Italian hurt, Alexander followed with rapid-fire strikes until the fight was stopped.
Preliminary fight results
Brazilian lightweight Gleison Tibau dominated Terry Etim en route to a unanimous decision victory. Tibau (15-4) scored multiple takedowns and used ground-and-pound tactics to rack up points against the British lightweight, who fell to 10-1.
Light heavyweight sluggers Thiago Silva and Tomasz Drwal waged war for nearly two full rounds before the undefeated Brazilian put Drwal on the canvas with a flurry of knees and punches.
Drwal (14-2) took the opening round thanks to solid takedown defense and a quality string of punches to close out the five-minute period. Silva responded with an increased work rate, and though the Polish fighter attempted to answer by standing and slugging, he fell prey to a pair of crisp right hands, a knee and a beautiful uppercut. A final left hand from Silva (11-0) finished Drwal off at 4:23 of Round 2.
A crushing left hook from German Dennis Siver (11-4) followed by a right hand to the downed Naoyuki Kotani (17-7-5) prompted referee Yves Lavigne to save the Japanese welterweight at 2:04 of the second round.
In the evening's opening bout, Brit Jess Liaudin upped his record to 12-8-0 with a first round stoppage of American welterweight Anthony Torres (5-1-0) at the 4:10 mark.
Liaudin plastered the tough Hawaiian throughout the fight, landing heavy strikes including a right hand that smashed Torres directly on the nose. Referee Mario Yamasaki moved in to stop the bout as Torres absorbed punches while leaning against the cage fencing.

A man has a serious leg injury after falling about 30 metres
off a tower and onto a roof in an industrial area in Hastings
this afternoon.
Emergency services were called to a grain store about 1.45pm
after workers found the man on the roof, itself about 8
metres off the ground, St John district operations manager
Stephen Smith told APNZ.
It was believed he had been on the roof for about an hour
before he was found.
"He's climbed a tower and he's fallen approximately 30 metres
onto the roof of another building, he's struck a guide wire
on the way down, and hit the apex of the roof," Mr Smith
The man, believed to be in his late 40s to early 50s, did not
work at the grain store.
It was not known why he was climbing the tower, but police
were investigating, he said.
It took about an hour to get the man off the roof after which
he was treated further and taken to Hawkes Bay Regional
Hospital in a serious condition with a serious leg injury.

Throwing peanut shells on the steakhouse floor was a new concept for me when I moved to Texas. Online Editor Ricky Treon and my husband make fun of me for either not eating the peanuts or just making a pile of the shells on my plate.
You can bet I'll be showing them this article from The Associated Press. I'm (slightly, sort of, not really) vindicated. Haha.
Texas woman seeks $1M for slipping on nut shells
HARLINGEN -- A Texas woman wants $1 million in damages from a steakhouse known for letting patrons throw peanut shells on the floor after she says she slipped and fell on the droppings.
Amelia Tijerina says she suffered physical pain, mental anguish and physical impairment after she slipped on the peanut shells scattered across the floor of the Texas Roadhouse. The McAllen Monitor reports Tijerina is also seeking damages for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity and court costs.
Tijerina argues the restaurant is responsible for the peanut shells, and should have either warned her about the danger or removed them.
Texas Roadhouse Inc. moved the lawsuit from a state district court to a federal court and has requested a jury trial. It argues Tijerina's actions caused the injury.

The Ministry for Primary Industries will impose a controlled
area in Whangarei and is contacting international partners
after finding a Queensland fruit fly in the country's
northernmost city.
The ministry plans to restrict the movement of fruit and
vegetables out of a defined area in Whangarei as it looks to
minimise the risk to the local horticultural industry after
discovering the insect in a surveillance trap yesterday, it
said in a statement. MPI has sent field teams to Parihaka,
near the city's port, and will set up additional traps to
determine whether any other flies have entered the area.
"MPI is working closely with international partners and the
horticultural industry to minimise the risk to New Zealand
growers and exporters," it said in a statement. "The Ministry
will have a controlled area in place, which will likely
restrict the movement of fruit and vegetables out of the
defined area."
The discovery is the fourth time the fly has been detected in
New Zealand, the most recent being in 2012.
The Queensland fruit fly is considered to be Australia's most
serious insect pest for fruit and vegetable crops, and if it
established locally, would pose "serious consequences for New
Zealand's horticultural industry," according to the
ministry's website.

Acted by an appealing cast, enlivened with well-chosen and varied music and filmed with bleak beauty by the cinematographer Eduardo Serra.
The beautiful ice-blue landscapes are really the only reason to sit through this rambling and rather silly first feature by writer-director Sue Clayton.
Brit filmmaker Sue Clayton's muddled feature bow is full of intriguing ideas and incidental charms that fail to come together into a cohesive whole.

The other night I spent some time with two colleagues (Jim Miller and Peter Drayton) to look at Rotor source files and write a short annotation for each file. We looked at a few header files in the clr/src/inc directory. We thought that the experience was useful and we may sit down again and describe more files - no promises of course, but stay tuned... .
In the text below I will use a different font color and size for the code and comments quoted from the source files but this convention is not essential to understanding the descriptions.

I am so unhappy with this ring that i spent over $400.00 on. The sides look like they are squeezed together and the top and bottoms are not aligned. I am so disappointed. I plan on contacting customer service to get it replaced. This was a gift from my daughters in which i loaned them the money for so it made them feel really bad when they saw it too!
I just got this ring in the mail today. I am sad to have to give this to my mother. Two of the four stones look the same and clear at that. The band is so thin it wont last to everyday wear. You can't read the names unless you hold it right up to your eyes. EVerything is smaller t hen I expected.
Love all the instriptions and personalization. the two center stones are larger than the two outside stones. Durable but light weight.
One of the stones fell out in less than a year
i go this for a gift for my mother and grandmother to my children. i put my mothers, mine and both daughters birthstones and names on it. She loved it and wears it every single day! She was very excited about it!
I bought this for My Mother for Mother's Day this year. It took quite a while for it to arrive due to it being a special order, however it arrived about a week ahead of scheduled delivery time. Ordered sterling silver, with 4 true gemstones, 4 names engraved, and diamond accents. She Loves it! She's worn it everyday and says it feels comfortable! Glad I picked this one!
i got this for a class ring beacuae i do not like taditional class rings.
PROS: 4 spaces for personilization, arrived on the first day of estimated shipping, engraving looks nice. CONS: the genuine stones are not nearly as dark, the saphire is a very light blue and the black quartz is am odd shade of grey, the words are smaller than i expected. the stones are not a shiny as i would have thought overall it is a great ring and was a good value for the ring i chose, i would recomment this.
Love it...... It is very nice..... The engraving is small but I think need to have my eyes checked.
The ring is great. Delivered on time.
like the ring but the prongs some times snag on things
I love everything about it!!!
I love shopping at Walmart , online and in store shopping.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Partnership For Food Safety Education , Arlington, VA, USA
The Partnership for Food Safety Education offers critical information to all of us about how to handle food safely. The simple messages of clean, separate, cook, and chill help us know exactly how we can protect ourselves and our families easily and effectively. Made up of consumer groups, food industry organizations, and government, this group can cut through the clutter with science-based messages we can all count on. I've had foodborne illness (food poisoning), and it's not fun. The reason I serve on the board and committees is to advance this important work and keep people safe from foodborne illness.

Police: Motorist tried to run down manStaff Report | July 09,2013Rutland City Police say a man in a pickup drove out of the downtown parking lot known as "The Pit" over the grass and sidewalk in an attempt to run down another man.
James Cabral was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, unlawful mischief and careless and negligent operation of a motor vehicle, according to police.
Police said Cabral had some sort of argument with Steven Burke at Pub 42 prior to the incident, which took place at 2:25 a.m. Sunday, and was in pursuit of Burke when he drove onto the sidewalk, destroying a tree and hitting a Zero-Sort recycling container before fleeing the scene.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

I have all the pieces of a hadoop implementation ready - I have a running cluster, and a client writer that is pushing activity data into HDFS. I have a question about what happens next. I understand that we run jobs against the data that has been dumped into HDFS, but my questions are:
1) First off, I am writing into the stream and flushing periodically - I am writing the files via a thread in the HDFS java client, and I don't see the files appear in HDFS until I kill my server. If I write enough data to fill a block, will that automatically appear in the file system? How do I get to a point where I have files that are ready to be processed by M/R jobs?
2) When do we run M/R jobs? Like I said, I am writing the files via a thread in the HDFS java client, and that thread has a lock on the file for write. At what point should I release that file? How does this interaction work? At what point is it 'safe' to run a job against that data, and what happens to the data in HDFS when its done?

Scotch Broth
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 6 hrs
This recipe comes from The Gourmet Slow Cooker by Lynn Alley. Scotch Broth is a Scottish tradition that dates bake hundreds of years. This dish has plenty of substance and flavor. Cooking it in the crockpot makes it so easy to have dinner ready in no time. It is suggested that this be served with a Scotch beer or ale and some heavy crusty bread.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 shoulder lamb chops
- 1⁄3 cup pearl barley
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cubed
- 2 leeks, white part only, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 -2 celery rib, thickly sliced
- 6 cups water
- salt
- pepper
- 1⁄4 cup parsley, chopped
- In the slow cooker, combine the lamb, barley, carrot, leeks, celery and water.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours, until meat is very tender and falling apart; add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into serving dishes and garnish with parsley.
- Enjoy!

This recipe is delicious but you need to delete the celery and add small turnips instead. Scottish people are not much into celery and certainly not pre 1990. I was born and raised in Scotland and rarely saw celery in the grocery store before that date. Even now its not that popular. I don't understand why Americans feel the need to put celery in everything.
Agreed that celery has NEVER been a feature in scotch broth, but neither has lamb chops come to that. Not very authentic.
I did this to the letter apart from I couldn't get shoulder chops, so I used a pack of stewing lamb on the bone. It may have been shin? Anyway it was pretty good. After 4 hours or so on low in the SC I pulled out the lamb, removed the flesh from the bone (dog had the bones as treats) and put it back in for another 2 hours. This dish is very easy to over season, so be careful not to put any in from the beginning, and taste properly before serving, too much pepper and salt ruins it.

Secondly, it's supposed to be ambiguous as is the nature of the show.
And finally, I'm not a fan of the name Easu, it makes too many assumptions. I'm going to call him Bob until something more bulletproof comes along.

Thought I'd Revive This Thread With A Very Interesting Theory,
I'll make this as brief as I can:
Meet Hans Oersted:
Hans O. discovered electromagnetism in 1820.
In 1999 the 'Oersted' satellite was launched with the purpose of charting Earth's magnetic field. The findings led scientists to believe that there might be a polar reversal imminent, the effects of which could be cataclysmic: if Earth were to lose its magnetosphere, it would be vulnerable to massive radiation from the space/sun. The satellite also revealed an anomaly in the magnetic field under South Africa; it is pointing the opposite direction from the rest of the Earth's field and has been growing for hundreds of years. Please Google this info. A similar idea was also used in the film 'The Core'.
Meet Hannes Alfvén:
His contribution to science - mainly in the field of electromagnetism - revolutionized how scientists view the universe, winning a Nobel Prize on the way. He spoke English, German, French, Russian, and some Spanish and Chinese; and studied oriental philosophy and religion. He spent time in the Fiji Islands. He was fascinated by the "green flash" - a phenomenon that sometimes occurs at sunset. By no coincidence (Green Lantern and Flash comic):
He also wrote fiction: The Great Computer: A Vision (1968) telling the story of computers taking over the world. Google "Hannes Alfvén".
Alfvén plus Hans O. equals Alvar Hanso.
The above outlines the reason for - and a means to control - the island...
Scientists, fearing the cataclysmic events of a polar reversal, prepared an environment for the survival of the human race. They either directly or indirectly engineered the kind of people who would make up a community fit for survival and propagation of a new world. In the main, this means characters without father/mother figures; and/or characters with skills for survival: a doctor, an engineer, a survivalist, a mercenary; and characters of sufficiently varied genetic background: african, caucasian, asian, etc. to ensure a healthy gene pool for generations.
Then on an island which already had a massive natural source of electromagnetism, they constructed an artificial magnetosphere, alluded to in Walt's/Hurley's comic:
to repel the deadly cosmic rays that Earth's magnetosphere used to repel. The hope was that the community could thrive, grow and, eventually, repopulate/recover the world.
The Dharma Initiative under Alvar Hanso (if both of these thing exist in the Lost reality - much of the Orientation film is red herrings for the 'survivors') used a technology based on remote viewing and electromagnetism to power this magnetosphere and to influence the lives of the future island candidates. As stated in another of my posts: every strange (and a lot of mundane) occurrences in Lost can be attributed to electromagnetism as wielded by the collective consciousness on the island (see "Enlightenment Theory"). When all the candidates were in place, i.e. on the plane, the collective consciousness knocked everyone out, brought it down, cryogenically preserved them, dismantled the plane (placing enough debris in the ocean to ensure an "everybody dead" verdict); years later, some plane debris was placed on the beach with the passengers and the scene was set to give the illusion that they had JUST crashed. Then the collective consciousness woke them up.
The joke/password about the snowmen is an allusion to being cryogenically frozen.
The collective consciousness is that group of scientists that became so totally absorbed into remote viewing and electromagnetism that they now operate on frequencies of electromagnetism (covering everything from light to sound) only. They can read minds as well as manipulate iron and other conductive material. Claire wondered why there was not one comb or hairbrush on the entire plane; the reason: the slight electrostatic charges that hairbrushing creates is interference for the collective consciousness.
Much of the Orientation film and what Desmond says is false and purely to ensure that our heroes press those bloody buttons every 108 minutes. The purpose is threefold: to provide a focus for the community - a reason to go on and something 'meaningful' that goes beyond rational decision-making; secondly, to protect the hatch/power-supply/scientists behind the concrete; and, thirdly, to download the information from the Oersted satellite as it orbits the Earth every 108 minutes (please Google this) to get the latest on the magnetic poles.
The collective consciousness messed with this bird's navigation (based on magnetism - birds have magnetite in their beaks).
Sayid tells Jack that either the compass is wrong or North has moved. In fact, North has moved.
Walt seems to become a knife-throwing expert. He isn't. The metal knife was guided by the collective consciousness in an attempt to bring him closer to Locke, who is the island's most faithful servant.
The presence of this ship is an indication that this island has always been known as a source of great magnetic power (the word "magnet" comes from "Magnesia" the land where the first black rock with powers of attraction was found). The location of this ship is an indication of the island's volcanic past - pushing the island higher - the ship is now inland. (Lava cools to form basalt; at the point basalt solidifies it takes on the same magnetic field as the surrounding location, thus providing information of the magnetic field's past.)
BF Skinner's dubious theories form the basis for the methods used by collective consciousness to socially engineer this 'utopia'. They are the voices in the trees, they are the visions, they are the black fog (metal in a magnetic field), the monster (mechanical, but designed to embody each survivor's personal fear). They use every psychological trick in his books to manipulate the survivors into forming a stable long-lasting community ON the island; and their means to this end are extensive.
The two images above are an explicit example of how the influence of the Dharma's collective consciousness has pervaded in the survivors' lives: notice the octagonal ceiling in both shots; and the metal balls in the second scene.
The opening shot of most episodes - the eye - establishes that this epsiode's main character will percieve what the collective consciousness wishes to show them. In this episode, Boone has an epiphanous vision courtesy of the collective consciousness and is later murdered with a falling plane!
Locke can walk now. Locke has no feeling in his legs. Locke's ability to walk is based on the collective consciousness' will. It makes him obedient. This level of obediency may be required of all the survivors eventually. His legs move because the collective consciousness allows those tiny electronic impulses from his brain via the spine to get through to muscles in his legs.
To summarize: our heroes never actually crashed; they are the future of mankind - the survivors of a cataclysmic polar event of which they are unaware; they are on the island to survive, procreate and repopulate the Earth. They are unaware of this plan which is sustained by a sophisticated collective consciousness and a group of scientists using electromagnetic power, and psychological techniques of reward and punishment.
There is more, but that's the gist.

Nice theory, but how then is it that they can move to and from the Island (the others) and how is it that everyone that left the island, was allowed to?
Also a lot more to go into this...but don't have the time right now, I'll post some more in a bit.
It's coming back...

Like I said, its a nice theory, but I don't see it as close to being possible. With the largest gaping hole being Claire. She was what, 7 months pregnant when she got on the plane? Can't freeze that in time...
Also, with Desmond and the button, how was that false? When they didn't press the button, the whole hatch exploded. Completely obliterated. Also giving Desmond the gift of foresight. We also see in season 5, how and why the hatch is where it is and how it became to be. We learn what the incident is that is being talked about in the films.
With Season 5 we've learned a lot more, seen the Mythologies of the show unfold at a much faster pace, even though all the while adding more questions with little answers.
We are now introduced to Jacob, and 'Esau'. We see that 'Esau' wants and infact needs to kill Jacob. We also see that in the end, he succeeds by having Ben do this for him.
Its theorized, and widely believed that 'Esau' is the Smoke monster, and that he controls the dead. By making the dead walk. We see this in the form of Jack's father, Christian Shepherd, Claire, Mr. Eko's brother, the Dharma group, and then Locke.
While the science of everything is there, its more of a battle of good and evil when it comes down to it. About changing destinies and fate.
With Locke's legs, what about... damn her name is on the tip of my tongue... "Eve" so to speak, the black lady married to the white dentist guy. She had terminal cancer, but its gone... Healed by the island. There are a lot of things that aren't explained this is true, but the "collective consciousness" would have saved Ben, being only a child, instead he was offered up to what one can only assume was 'Esau' as it took his innocense away.
Now I'm not dogging your theory you've posted, but it also appears that from what you've written (if it is you that wrote it also not judging on that) you're a bit behind on what has happened in Season 4 and 5. Where a lot about the island, the DI, Jacob and the Losties is explained...
It's coming back...
You hear the one about the fella who died, went to the pearly gates? St. Peter let him in. Sees a guy in a suit making a closing argument. Says, "Who's that?" St. Peter says, "Oh, that's God. Thinks he's Denny Crane."

Bit of info for anyone who has not heard...
Lost Final season is set to premiere Feb 2010 and it will have a 1 hour recap first, just like last season, but Lost will now Air on Tuesdays in the US...
Have to say I like the day switch personally... Too many good shows on Thursday, and with only 1 DVR, I can only record 2 shows at a time... Bones, Supernatural, CSI, LOST... I always had to try and watch one in the other room...
It's coming back...

Well, this past weekend I did a whole Season 5 re-watch via Netflix. I was a little pissed at the end of the last episode when they didn't show Jack waking up, thought that was the coolest part of the episode.
Few things I noticed.
-Ajira Flight 316 and in the Episode where we see Miles with his mom looking at the apartment, the microwave clock reads 3:16. Now, the number 4 8 15 16 23 42, and the 16 is there, but no 3. So I'm thinking that either that link is merely the flight, or could be in referece to maybe John 3:16, being the popular verse from the bible.
- Sayid shooting Ben: Now when Kate and Sawyer take lil Ben to Richard, they say he'll have no memory of what happened. And with "what happened, happened" why is it that Ben and Sayid seem to be linked together? To me, it seems as though Ben does have some memory of it, perhaps just a gut feeling that it was Sayid that shot him? He tells Sayid that he is a killer, has Sayid kill all those people. I don't know, it just really seems to me that Ben knows that they are linked somehow and that is why he seems more I don't want to say favorful, but vindictive with Sayid in certain aspects.
- Locke: Few things I picked up on relatively early on during my rewatch. When Locke, Ben and Richard go to the point when Locke gets flashed forward in time. By this point, Locke is already showing that he isn't really the same Locke. His whole demeanor was off, and that 'Esau' was portraying the more vengeful side of Locke that we seen in the past, but it was more full on so to speak. We really see this come full circle when Locke tells all of the "Others" that he has a big surprise in store for them, and when he tells Richard that they are going to have to kill the rest of the people from the flight that brought him back to the Island.
Hurley and his visions of the dead: Now, I'm still a bit shaky on this, but after they got back to the island, he didn't have anymore encounters with anyone. His last one was with Ana Lucia when he got "pulled over". Now, Jacob tells him that he is not cursed, but blessed or its a gift. But what if, throughout it all, it was 'Esau' actually doing it? He wasn't touched by Jacob until just before he went back to the Island. Unlike everyone else that we seen, where they were touched well before they went to the Island the first time. So maybe, just maybe but with Jacob saying its a gift I don't really know.
Loophole: This has been discussed in here a few times, and I'm sure I've brought this up in my previous posts, but I think I figured out the most adequate scenario for the loophole.
1. When you are forced to leave the Island, or when you move the Island, you can't go back. At least you aren't supposed to. Charles Widmore even says its not possible, as he's tried for 20 years.
2. Ben moved the Island in Locke's place. He did this in my view to either a) get away from it because of what happened to his daughter and didn't want to be judged by the Smoke Monster; or b) because he wanted to exact his revenge on Widmore for the death of his daughter; or c) because he was Jealous that Locke was chosen to do it instead of him. Thus, making Locke the leader of the Island and its people.
3. Locke was ressurected by Jacob. So he is one of Jacob's "chosen" as I will refer to them.
4. Ben, being off the Island, kills Locke. Now, there is no Leader of the people, so it reverts back to Ben.
5. Ben, now being Leader again, can return to the Island.
6. 'Esau' taking Locke's form now has his loophole. A fallen Leader who has technically regained his status returning to the Island. Who is under the assumption that Locke is now alive again, and must follow his every word.
7. Ben kills Jacob.
And Miles brought up I think the best point in the entire season. That Faraday was wrong, and that 'What if the incident was them dropping the Plutonium core down the shaft?'. He had been following how things went very well. Whatever happened, happened, can't be changed. The dialogue, the actions taken, everything. So Jack not saving Ben was how it was supposed to be, Sayid being tortured, everything we seen was the way it was supposed to be. Them coming back in time had already set the events in motion for them landing on the Island on flight 815. So nothing they did or didn't do would actually change anything.
However... now this part I think actually did change. When Faraday and Charlotte are in the Jungle, and she is getting ready to die, she starts rambling off things. "Not supposed to have chocolate before dinner" and telling Daniel that someone told her to leave the Island and never come back and that she thinks it was Daniel that did it. Those were new memories to her! Just like when Desmond woke up to his memory of Daniel telling him to find his mother at Oxford. It was a new memory to him. So when Daniel meets back up with Sawyer and Julliete, he tells them that Charlotte died, she just disappeared with the last flash. Why? Why would she just vanish? She wouldn't! She would have jumped in time with everyone else, just like she had been. Instead, I think what Daniel did was alter the future. He changed what her future was by instilling that new memory, telling her not to come back to the Island when she was a child. I think he realized that when she disappeared, and I think that is why he thought, or appeared to think that humans are the variables in the equation.
Which we find out is only partially true, taking the Charlotte scenario into effect.

Now my biggest quandry at this time is, how did Ben get back to the Dharma group? We hear Charles Widmore tell him that he'll be back with his father soon enough, but then we see a bit later that Charles had sent Ben and Ethan to kill Russo and her baby. But from past season (can't remember which one) we see Ben working along side his father as a Workman, having a Beer just before Ben kills them all.
So how is all this possible? Does he just go back as a child and play the part for a while? It isn't until Ben kills all the Dharma group that Widmore is sent away on the Sub. If Ben went back as a child and played the part, he WOULD know that it was Sayid that shot him, that he infact was shot and thought to be dead. His father would have told him all of this, so maybe that is why Ben is so vindictive towards Sayid? Or maybe he did just stumble in just before he killed everybody? Like "look, I'm alive, I'm back"? But that doesn't seem likely to me.
It's coming back...
With LOST just around the corner I thought I'd re-ignite the thread. Spoiler warning.
Since the start of season three we can now clearly see that Desmond commits heavily to the plot. In the third season episode 'Greatist Hits' when Charlie and Desmond are above water in the raft, Desmond says to Charlie '"Maybe I keep seeing you die because I'm supposed to take your place." This may refer to the third/fourth episode of season six entitled 'The Substitute.' We also know that Desmond appears on the Oceanic 815 flight in the alternate time-line universe during the first two-hours of the lost opening episodes. Instead of Daniel's mother being wrong it could be he that was wrong, it may only be Desmond who is a variable who can change his own destiny etc.

See, there are a few things to point out here...
Charlotte - I don't think she died on the island, she never went back. We didn't see her body, Daniel said she just disappeared during the last flash. Her last words to Daniel were new memories she had of him telling her not to go back, and her conversatin she had with him when he told her to get her mommy and leave the island. So I think Daniel in fact was able to change things there.
I also don't think Daniel is wrong at all. I think he in fact is right, about humans being the variables. Only problem is that his 'solution' was actually the incident. Because he didn't study what the incident was before he went to the island on the boat, he would have no idea what the right move would be to actually change things.
Had they not dropped the nuke down the hole, perhaps nothing would have happened. We know that Dr. Chang's hand was missing after the incident in the 'future' because you see he has a prosthetic hand in the orientation video when he talks about the incident.
I think that had they done nothing, then nothing would have happened, and they would have flashed forward with no memory or possibly with memory who knows, to flight 815, it would have landed safely blah blah blah. The reason I think they didn't do that, Desmond. Everything we seen on the island was not really about him, and they wouldn't just cut him out of the end of it all.
The survivors can change the future, they just keep making the decisions to keep things they way they already happened. Had Jack saved Ben, maybe Ben wouldn't have turned out the way he did, or maybe he would have. That fork in the road may have led to the same destination, we'll never know.
One thing is certain though, they did change things. The picture is one big one, Ben may have known who some of them were from when he was a child, we don't know yet. I think they may explore some of that this season, I really hope they do. I want to know if he goes back to Dharma, and when. Big gap in the storyline there.
On a side note for the Season Premeire...
Julliete I think is dead. What we've learned from the flashes is that when you flash forward, you're in the same spot on the island that you were before the flash. Locke being down the hole, Sawyer holding the rope, etc. So if she was down the hole, it blew up, everyone flashed forward...she's encased down there or buried on the island somewhere. Perhaps Miles may find her body? Sawyer gets to say his goodbyes, or maybe she has info for them?
It's coming back...
Well.. What's everyone's thoughts?!
The first hour didn't really hold many surprises for me, but the second hour had me going a few times!
Can't wait til next Tuesday!
Definitely, i got a couple of questions answered that were quite interesting. cant wait for the next episode

Fake Locke just straight out stating that he was smokie was pretty cool. Poor Juliette. We basically see her die 3 or 4 times in the last 2 episodes. First when she drops into the hole, then when she smacks the bomb to make it go off and end the season and now just as she was about to tell James something. Damn.
The strange alternant time line on the plane now and with them still back on the island really has me going. I just hope they don't pull a Super Mario 2 at the end of it all and we find out the stuff on the island was just a flipping dream. I think that would likely urk me something fierce.
So glad that Lost is back on now. That was a pretty good season priemere. Next week I'm guessing that we finally find out what Kate did as the name of the episode is "What Kate Did"
What's everyones opinions or theories on:
* Desmond disappearing from the plane midflight.
* Charlie saying he was 'supposed to die'.
* Jack's cut on his neck.
* The fact Juliet told us 'it worked'.
* Sayid coming back to life.
* The pool being dirty.
* Richard being told 'it's nice to see you out of chains' by Flocke.
* Flocke being the black smoke.
* Richard telling everyone not to shoot Flocke.
* Jack saying 'nothing is irreversible'.
* Jack recognized Desmond when he first met him, but didn't on the plane.
* Christian was not on the plane.
* Flocke's home.
* You're own.
I'll share tiny opinions so the post doesn't become too long.
* Desmond is a variable and can switch between the two alternate realities. It could also be coincidence that he was on the plane. The fact the Island was underwater also might state that the hydrogen bomb went off. The bomb itself wouldn't be able to sink the island but it might have opened the magnetic pocket and sunk the island. This would have killed Widmore and Desmond would have no reason to win the boat race and would never go to the Island.
* When Charlie died in the original timeline, he ventured into this timeline and realized that to die, mean't rescue for the other Oceanic 815 survivors.
* I believe Jack cut his neck in the other timeline and the Jack in the alternate timeline also got the blow.
* Juliet switched between the two alternate realities, she asked where she was to James and I believe she was speaking to her sister.
* Revival is a new thing, even the almighty Richard told us 'dead is dead'. I believe this is either Jacob or Flocke, well Jacob's nemesis inhabitting Locke. That's why the interpretor was shocked and if I'm correct had a tone of danger in his voice. This could mean that the black smoke monster is inside their walls, or that Jacob has been revived.
* I believe the death of Jacob mean't that the pool would not work. The Japanese other cut his hand and stuck it in the water to see if it would heal. He probably knew it would heal Sayid eventually and that's why he said it was risky, or maybe he even had to die before being brought back to life.
* Richard was a slave or a prisoner on the Black Rock when he and Flocke originally met up. That's when Richard was granted immortality and eternal youth.
* The ring of ash surrounding the cabin was actually keeping Flocke inside. When the ring of ash was broken, the monster was set loose. One of the new arrivals on the Island (bret?) tries to circle himself in ash. He does so and the monster can not get him, but he trips outside the circle and get's killed.
* It was gunshots that were the catalyst to Flocke turning into the black smoke. Richard knew it would only anger him and get everyone killed, so he saved their lives.
* Maybe Jack fixes Locke in the alternate timeline and just as Oceanic 815 crashes in the other-time line he is able to walk. That's a really stupid idea lol.
* The plane never crashed, so they never met.
* Christian is back on the Island, even if it is underwater.
* I believe the Temple is Flocke's home. It was the original home for the black smoke when Jin wen't back in time but it is ruled by the Others at the time of Dharma. I am almost certain that's where he is heading, rather than off-island.
Anyone else got any theories?

*Personally I think that Richard goes back even further than the Black Rock, Like back to when the statue was originally built and he was an Egyptian slave that helped build the statue and was then set free by Jackob after it was built.
*Jack recognizing Desmond was a little strange but they did meet while running in the football stadium in the states, so again that may be where he recognized him from. It was a pretty brief meeting and happend years before.
The new alternante time line has a lot of strange differences in it though, so who knows what flashback events from before still happened. It is pretty bizarre having them follow both the regular and alternate timelines at the same time. Wonder how that will all play out in the end.
Do you not think that Rose and Bernard not seeing him either was a bit strange? Maybe Jack is the only one that can see him... that would be interesting. The Egyptian Richard theory could work, it would explain his awkward eyeliner. They all used it back then.

I just started watching this show since the previews of the new season look good. I never liked it when it first came out but thanks to Hulu I can watch all season 1-5. I started last week and I'm half way through season 3 and it's getting real interesting, besides I want to bash Michaels face in.
I have a question though, did the plane really crash from the hatch system failure, is the guy with the tumor saying it was fate because of Jack, or did it fall for other reasons I have yet to watch?

Donald Trump is no stranger to firing.
This time, however, it's Trump who's on the receiving end – and by NBC, over his negative, derogatory comments about Latinos.
Brian Williams recently found himself on the other side of the table when he sat down to be interviewed by Matt Lauer.
NBC has decided to give Brian Williams a second chance, but his days as Nightly News anchor are behind him, insiders say.
Brian Williams has had a rough go of it recently.
After being caught out embellishing a story about coming under fire in a helicopter in Iraq, the NBC news anchor was forced to take time himself off the air after fears the viewers' trust in him had been lost.
For those of you tuned in to the season four premiere of Girls last night (Jan. 11, 2015), you were "treated" to a very, very racy sex scene.
The scene involved Ebon Moss-Bacharach, who plays Desi, and Allison Williams, her butt and a little tossing of the salad.
Brian Williams has many roles: news reporter, father and occasional rapper, to name a few.
Does Brian Williams have a rap name? He should.
Even though Williams isn't really rapping in real time, the videos Jimmy Fallon and his Tonight Show crew create make us want the NBC Nightly News anchor to moonlight as B-Williams or B-Will. Something like that.
Three days on the air and three viral hits… it looks like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is a hit.
The latest viral gem from the Fallon crew is this video of Brian Williams and Lester Holt duetting on The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" with a little help from Kathie Lee Gifford.
On Monday night's Chelsea Lately, Girls star Allison Williams admitted that she's watched every single sex scene she's done on the show (and there have been quite a few) with her entire family — including her famous father, NBC anchor Brian Williams.
The 25-year-old didn't even shield them from her most-recent graphic encounter where…
Mark Twain is supposed to have warned against fighting the media by saying, "Never pick a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel." But how do you referee a media war between a man with unlimited airtime and another with a never-idle Twitter feed?
That's the delicious dilemma facing…

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Clinical genomics, like an eagerly awaited computer application, has quite a few bugs. Several of them have been identified in an exploratory study conducted by Stanford researchers, who analyzed the whole genomes of 12 people who lacked any obvious hereditable diseases. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), the researchers found, must overcome a number of significant challenges before it can be considered routinely clinically useful.
One particularly sobering observation was that WGS remains harder to use for disease prediction than for disease diagnosis. Yet even now, WGS can, in certain cases, identify clinically actionable genetic variants warranting early medical intervention.
Making use of the Stanford GenePool Biobank, researchers scrutinized data from adult participants who underwent WGS. The researchers took note of the degree of sequencing accuracy necessary to make clinical decisions in individuals, the time it took to manually analyze each person's results, and the projected costs of recommended follow-up medical tests.
As indicated in a paper ("Clinical Interpretation and Implications of Whole-Genome Sequencing") that is to appear March 12 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the researchers concluded that use of WGS "was associated with incomplete coverage of inherited-disease genes, low reproducibility of detection of genetic variation with the highest potential clinical effects, and uncertainty about clinically reportable findings."
Commercially available WGS, the researchers determined, does not achieve the accuracy necessary to identify every nucleotide in 7–16% of genes known to be associated with increased disease risk. While a degree of uncertainty is allowable during studies of populations, which look for trends by comparing hundreds of genomes, a higher degree of accuracy is needed if clinicians are to make useful predictions about an individual's health status.
"These off-the-shelf genome sequencing techniques were developed to provide generally good coverage of most of the genome," said postdoctoral scholar and cardiology fellow Frederick Dewey, M.D. "But there are some regions that remain to be covered well that we care very deeply about. We still need to supplement this information with additional sequencing."
The study also concluded that WGS currently imposes high curatorial costs. The amount of manual labor involved in sifting through the many variants in each individual approached 100 hours. With the exception of a few well-known mutations, the authors noted, there is still no standard way to assess the potential health impact of each change.
"We need to be very honest about what we can and cannot do at this point in time," said Euan Ashley, M.D., associate professor of medicine and of genetics. "It's clear that if we sequence enough cases, we can change someone's life. But with this opportunity comes the responsibility to do this right. Our hope is that the identification of specific hurdles will allow researchers in this field to focus their efforts on overcoming them to make this technique clinically useful."
The study did yield at least one highly positive outcome: One of the 12 participants, a woman with no family history of breast or ovarian cancer, learned she carried a potentially deadly deletion in her BRCA1 gene. After confirmation of the finding in a clinical cancer genetics setting, she was able to take action to reduce her future risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
Both the possibilities and the limitations of WGS are considered in an editorial that will accompany the main paper in JAMA. In this editorial, William G. Feero, M.D., Ph.D, of the Maine Dartmouth Family Medical Residency writes that, "Like the personal computer, Internet, smartphones, and electronic health records, turning back now from the use of genomic technologies in health care is inconceivable."
Rather than concluding that clinical applications of WGS are too immature to be worth pursuing, Dr. Feero notes that while the Stanford researchers "demonstrate that much remains to be learned … before truly successful widespread integration can occur," they also "provide a glimpse of what is possible."
Dr. Feero's assessment coincides with that of Dr. Ashley, who commented, "Our intention was to identify how best to move forward. Challenges to bringing this technique to the clinic are becoming crystallized. Whole-genome sequencing has the power to be absolutely transformative in the clinic."

We had a Microsoft Corp visitor in town over the last week - the unique and incomparable Mr. Vittorio Bertocci. My colleague Linda had the pleasure of touring and visiting many of our enterprise customers with him, talking up the core .NET 3.0 pillars (WCF, WF and Windows CardSpace.)
A persistent question prompted the following cartoon. Lifted shamelessly from Vittorio's blog post. I didn't know you could draw, dude!
While we take a gentle dig and laugh at ourselves, this does underscore the point that we need to do a better job at helping our customers truly understand SOA.
PS: I am reminded again of a somewhat intense discussion a year back regarding service orientation, SOI and SOA by some of Microsoft's illuminaries.

One of the most poorly known dolphins and also amongst the smallest (2) (5), Heaviside's dolphin has a blunt head, rounded, paddle-like flippers (2), and bold markings. The front half of the stocky body is grey and the rear half is largely bluish-black. The flippers are dark and dark patches encircle the eyes and blowhole. The underside is white, as are the 'armpits' behind the flippers, and a distinct white finger-shaped marking extends from the belly along each flank (5) (6).
