SB Nation was at the Rose Bowl this past weekend. Instead of going traditional, they allowed Robert Griffin III, Trent Richardson and David Wilson go around chatting with fellow NFL rookies. Brock Osweiler is a big part of this video. Really cool stuff, check it out!

Hilltop Haven ~ 1836 sq ft.
Desert Lofty Living...
Soar above it all with breathtaking panoramic views in a modern hilltop Haven.
This unique home is just minutes from all the restaurants and shopping of central Palm Springs and close to all the nearby golf, hiking, tennis, horseback riding and many other outdoor activities that the area offers.
With designer and eclectic touches throughout, this comfortable and well-appointed 1956 Palm Springs 2 bedroom/2 full bath modern original has been updated with a loft-like open concept living flair. The bedroom suites are at each end of a long hallway for maximum privacy and comfort. One bedroom suite opens onto a sparkling pool, the other, onto a tranquil backyard green space. Both bedrooms feature California King beds. Perfect for two couples!
From pool, to spa to fireplace this is Palm Springs living at its finest with the stunning views to match.
Your comfort is our priority, so we've equipped this property with many amenities like three flat screen TVs (with HBO), WiFi internet access, telephone (US and Canadian calling included in your rental price), fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher), washer and dryer, easy to use gas fireplace, BBQ and plenty of outdoor furniture.
CHINO CANYON is a reminder of the
natural beauty that originally proliferated Palm Springs. Set on a boulder
strewn hillside with views of the entire valley floor below, this unique
neighborhood was a virtual laboratory to architects pioneering the modernist
genre. Albert Frey, E. Stewart Williams, William Cody, Walter White among
others contributed designs that both compliment and inform their environment.
This is a low density neighborhood with limited access on narrow streets and a
hushed sense of achievement. In 1970, Elvis Presley bought a house in Chino
Canyon and it was one of two homes that he owned at the time of his death (the
other being Graceland) and is still open for tours today!.
We welcome you to our desert paradise, enjoy your stay!

Police say the 21-year-old driver of a stolen Mazda slammed into a U-Haul and lost his life.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the man in the Mazda stopped on Princeton before crossing Summerdale. Frank Acosta says he witnessed the wreck.
"It was horrifying. I'm still shaking," said Frank Acosta. "He looked both ways, went to cross and they just collided together it was an impact I can't explain."
Saturday morning's crash in Northeast Philadelphia is an all too familiar sight for residents living near the intersection.
I used to call 911 every single time they crashed but I stopped. It's like every single day they were crashing," explained Adrian Abonce.
Residents say the area is littered with reminders of accidents past.
They say a bumper is still lingering around from an accident on Friday night.
Tire tracks have scarred the grass from another wreck last week.
Myrna Freedman says a new utility pole had to be put up in her yard after a recent crash knocked down the old one.
This morning she came home to another crash in her yard. Proof she says a traffic signal or 4-way stop sign is needed.
"Years ago we tried petitions we tried to do what we could do but nothing ever happens," explained Freedman.
For now residents have to settle for the two way stop signs and the warning beneath them, letting drivers know crossing traffic doesn't stop.
Many of the Northeast residents now wondering if Saturday morning's tragedy is going to trigger change.
"I always said someone's going to have to die before they do something and that's what happened this morning," lamented Arlene Olson.

The election is over, the plug has been pulled on the negative ads, and the robocalls are over.
It's been a long political season---heck, it's been a long week covering the results. On Tuesday night, I was over at McCormick Place for President Obama's Election Night rally. There were 2,000 other reporters from 65 different counties and 10,000 invited guest---supporters and volunteers.
While everyone talked about the stuff we're supposed to on Election Night, I couldn't help but hear some ladies talk about the First Lady's dress. One said "who is the designer?" It was a repeat--not just a dress worn one time. And, Sasha was wearing one of her big sister's skirts.
It's a true sign of the times---the first family is doing something we all do, or all did when we were growing up!

Trinity Children's Foundation of America has the utmost gratitude for the very generous gift we received from FOCUS. The funds allowed us to assemble more than 150 "comfort kits" for children who require emergency placement in foster care. This occurs when children must be pulled from their homes without prior notice, due to domestic violence or other traumatic incident, as in the case of Joshua, a 4 year-old Hispanic boy, who was brought to Trinity at 2 a.m. after police were called to his home. Joshua's father, a gang member in East LA, had been involved in a dispute with a rival gang earlier in the evening. The rival gang, seeking retaliation came to the house and fired shots into the home where Joshua and his mother were sleeping. Although no one was wounded, when the police searched the home they found drugs and weapons. Joshua's parents were taken into custody and Joshua was placed in emergency care. Comfort kits are backpacks (because many foster children are forced to carry their belongings in garbage bags), a stuffed animal, an age appropriate book or coloring book, a pillow and blanket, some basic hygiene items and a voucher so the foster parent can purchase emergency clothing for the child. The ability for Trinity to be able to provide children like Joshua with a comfort kit may seem like a simple thing, but for a frightened or wounded child, taken by strangers in the middle of the night, not knowing what the future holds, a small gesture that shows them they are cared for and that they will be safe, is not simple at all. It can set the tone for the child's entire stay in foster care, however long that may be.

UNDATED (CNN) -- The Labor Department numbers are out this morning and they show hiring was stronger in the last two years than previously thought. But, the nation's unemployment rate did rise fractionally. But the report is mostly upbeat from the Labor Department.
The job market held steady in January with employers adding 157,000 jobs. But the unemployment rate ticked up from 7.8 to 7.9. LaToya Patrick is one of America's estimated 12-million unemployed workers. She's been looking for a job since the fall, after she graduated with a master's degree. She says, "I'm not gonna lie, it's been really tough sometimes, when you're home you feel like, you know I spent all this time going to school and it's like nobody's giving you a chance."
Economists say until more people like LaToya finds jobs, the economy will continue to suffer. The government announced Wednesday the economy shrank last quarter for the first time in three years.
One day after the dismal GDP report, the president disbanded his jobs council, a group of CEO's tasked with finding new ways to create jobs. That gave Republicans on Capitol Hill new ammunition to criticize him.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement: "The president treated his jobs council as more of a nuisance than a vehicle to spur job creation."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says, "When we hear, some of the somewhat ridiculous criticisms about this, they come from people on Capitol Hill who have consistently ignored every growth initiative and job creation initiative the president has put forward."
The White House says the group was only intended to last two years. During the two-year tenure of the jobs council, the group met four times with the last meeting coming more than a year ago.

PLATTSBURGH — A Plattsburgh man was sentenced to seven years in prison — the maximum time allowed — for sexually abusing a young girl.
Christopher Simpson, 48, had pleaded guilty Sept. 27, 2013, to first-degree sexual abuse after admitting to fondling the 9-year-old.
Simpson was sentenced on Jan. 10 in Clinton County Court, by Judge Patrick McGill, to seven years in prison, with five years of post-release supervision, the Clinton County District Attorney's Office said Friday in a news release.
Assistant District Attorney Jaime Douthat and Assistant District Attorney Domenica Padula prosecuted the case.
"Since the abuse was reported close to when the sexual contact actually happened, we were able to interrupt the grooming period (the manipulation that precedes abuse) and stop the abuse before it progressed any further," Douthat said in a statement.
Simpson, who was represented by Matthew Favro, was also ordered to pay a fine, submit a DNA sample and register as a sex offender.
A stay-away order of protection was given to the victim.
Padula acknowledged the role of law enforcement in this prosecution.
"Successful cases are built on solid investigations, and we thank the detectives at the Plattsburgh City Police Department for their excellent work on this case," she said in the release.

The only cabin available that didn't cost less than this 75% (which Regent was keeping no matter what) was the Master Suite which we of course were required to pay still more for. The cabin is very weirdly configured with the prow of the ship cutting into the balcony and bedroom. The anchor at 6am some mornings made a horrendous noise, and sleeping impossible, Although spacious it is certainly not worth the money. The dining room staff were not at all welcoming and the food was adequate, but not much more. The specialty restaurants were also very mediocre. One bright spot was our butler, who not only dealt with our occasional requests, but also managed to anticipate others.
Regent seems to have shifted toward free shore excursions. Predictably, we got what we "paid" for: overcrowded excursions and mediocre guides.
Our overall feeling is that Regent has become an organization that is focused intensely on reducing short-term expenses and seems to care little about how this might affect relations with their clientele, and therefore their long-term profitability
We were on the Mariner last year and had a much better experience. We are now booking a Grand Voyage for next year and it certainly won't be on Regent.

Appearance Nice, dark cloudy orange with a head that showed good retention and lacing.
Smell Deep citrus hop and caramel malt aroma. I can also pick up apple cider.
Taste Yes, this is an evenly hopped ale with a nice slightly-sweet malt backbone with a hint of raw apple cider (not the sugary kind).
Mouthfeel Fairly big for a pale ale, this one is chewy and somewhat dry.
Drinkability This was the first beer of the night and I was parched, so it went down quite well. The excellent balance and dry finished made this one a buy again.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single from the Leaf and Ale, in Knoxville, Tn. This pours a clear amber body with a one finger, orange tinted beige head that retains well and leaves lots of patchy lace.
The aroma is citrusy hops of orange, lemon, and grapefruit. Pale malt sweetness takes the edge off the hop aromas to produce a slightly restrained bouquet.
Mouthfeel has a nice medium full body for style and has above average carbonation to hold it together.
Taste is very nice, with fruity orange and pink grapefruit hop flavors which gently fold into a caramel flavored malt backbone. The hops have a fresh taste which highlights a bittersweet finish.
This one is like a good American ESB on steroids. Tasty citrusy hops give this amber a very pleasant drinkability.

Picked up a sixer of 8 Ball Stout while on Long Island...Shoreline Beverage to be exact.
Was surprised to find this bottle mixed in (not thrilled) and figured I was cheated. After trying this beer, I feel it was a blessing in disguise.
Pours a very inviting bright copper...almost what I'd expect from a pumpkin spiced brew. A decent amount of beige head sits on top w/ very minimal lacing that has practically no cling. Still, a very attractive offering.
The aroma is a bit mild...a floral hop character w/ some caramel mixed in.
Taste is one very tasty sip after another...very well balanced w/ a huge hop presence (for its style). Carmelized malt keeps this beer balanced...I do not detect anything that would classify this as a Red.
Mouthfeel is decent...not thin at all and has no lingering bitterness.
This could be one of the easiest brews to consume if given the opportunity.
Another solid beer from Lost Coast.

A-Pours a fingers worth of foamy beige head that continues to lace the pint glass. Completely clear and light amber color.
S-Nice caramel malt aroma, toasted nuttiness in here too.
T-Dominant toasty nuttiness. Reminds me of a nut brown ale. Slight spicy hop finish.
M-Medium bodied, high carbonation, finish is a bit long thanks to the spicy hops and finishes dry.
D-An easy one to drink.
O-This is a solid beer. Easy to drink and tasty. Well done, I like this one a lot more than their wheat beer.

Standard amber and red colored beer, good carbonation to it, smell was of irish moss.
Tastes straight up, good enough toast feel to the malt, hop presence, but nothing that is going to blow you away or be confused for nugget nectar, bitterness kept in check. Slightly bready. Tiny bit of citrus orange like flavor on the backend.
A decent beer to have around, nothing too adventurous, but it has its time and place.

This is a beautiful brown to orange "amber" ale.
The tan head is a mix of fine and large bubbles.
Head dissipates rather quickly.
Aroma is not huge but slightly malty and seemingly in style.
Taste is a good balance of hop tang and malt. It seemed to attract the flying insects on my patio!
This is a "drink steadily all night" kind of beer.
I need to sample the rest of Lost Coast's line up.

A Yankee pint at the Yard House in Waikiki.
This beer pours a clear, dark golden amber hue, with one solid finger of foamy, wispy pale beige head, which leaves a nice fuzzy hedgerow of lace around the glass as everything settles in.
It smells of faint grainy malt, some mild citrus coughdrops, and a bit of leafy, earthy hop dryness. The taste is sour, doughy malt, mild leafy, weedy hops, and a soft needling citrus alcohol edge.
The bubbles are quite restrained, the body an unremarkable medium weight, and smooth, but with that weird ascerbic red ale metallic stripe. It finishes fairly off-dry, the stale pastry malt facing little challenge from any latent hop attitude.
A so-so amber ale, one which you could put back in substantial amounts if so need be. I picked this from among many, because, even though Lost Coast is represented at home, this particular offering isn't - maybe the fact that our biggest local micro is called Alley Kat has something to do with that?

3.88/5 rDev +7.8%
Appearance - Pours a hazy amber orange with an off-white, 2 finger head. Good retention. The resulting lace is thick and sticky.
Smell - Caramel dominates the aroma. Some lightly toasted breadiness. Not much outside that.
Taste - Follows the nose. Malt forward. Rich caramel malts with notes of toffee. Hops are concealed, but do well to add a touch of citrus bitterness and to keep this from being overly sweet.
Mouthfeel - Light body. A touch creamy. Carbonation lends to a decent bite.
Overall - One of the better offerings from Lost Coast. Full flavored and easy to drink. Though slightly tilted in favor of malts, has good balance. There's nothing complex about this beer, but it's pretty tasty.

Thanks to barleywinefiend for this extra.
Pours a deep ruby amber color with a good white head that retains fairly well and leaves nice lacing.
Nose is of some sharp rock candy like malt profile with a touch of hops, but this one defenitely smells like it will be balanced, and defenitely more traditional american style, not one of the hoppier ambers that are popular of late.
Taste is quite nice. A very good balance between some crisp malt sweetness and a mild west coast hop profile. The beginning is driven my rock candy like sharp sweetness with a slight touch of citrus. Hops make their presence known most through the middle and on the finish, but are still evenly contested by the malts, and certainly not an intensely hoppy beer by any means. There is a slight hop bitterness on the finish, and in the aftertaste, and the malt profile turns a tad more creamy on the finish as well.
Mouthfeel is ok for the most part. Slight overcarbonation, but viscosity is right on, and it has a nice crisp feel without being too dry.
Drinkability is typical for a good amber, a bit better maybe. Could defenitely put away a few of these, and the abv is right about where I would expect it to be.
Overall a nice amber that represents the more traditional american ambers quite well. There is a decent hop presence here though, not devoid of such. This is a good session amber. This one is slightly underrated IMO, really not a bad beer at all. Nothing amazing or fancy, but a good everyday amber.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Tuition costs have been on the rise. This is likely not news to you but it's still having a large impact on not only our future generations but also our current economy. According to Mary Kane at Citi, student loan debt makes up nearly a third of all non-mortgage debt in the United States, approximately $1 trillion in total.
From 2002 through 2012, the Higher Education Price Index, which measures the cost of obtaining a college degree, has risen 35 percent; while the Consumer Price Index, a common measure of inflation, during the same time period has gone up just 25 percent. Without serious changes enacted by Congress, it is unlikely we see any substantial transform to the rising tuition trend. The Council on Foreign Relations reported that while the U.S. spends more money than any other developed country on K-12 public education, our students ranked 14th in reading and 25th in math based on the 2009 Program for International Student Assessment survey. Something is broken here and we can't expect future generations to be able to compete on the global stage unless the education system is fixed. However, one of the things that can be changed is who teaches our children.
Simply improving the quality of the educator has a significant material impact on students. Eric Hanushek of the NBER published a study in 2010 that showed by having a teacher who is above average could improve a student's lifetime earnings by nearly $400,000. Hanushek also noted that in order to determine the success of a teacher, our school systems must better evaluate the quality of our educators. Unfortunately, current assessment techniques as well as ambiguity in educational policy, according to Hanushek's research, have not been up to par to effectively accomplish this deferential of teacher performance.
There has been and there will always be those who try to 'game' the system. This was one of the faults of No Child Left Behind. When teachers' compensation is tied to standardized testing scores of their students it's unrealistic to assume there wouldn't be cases of teacher-assisted cheating. The problem we face today is like changing a tire on a car that's still on the road; we must fix the quality of education our children are receiving while they are receiving it.
I wish there was a simple solution to solve the woes of the education system; it's vitally important that this be corrected – not only for sons and daughters but for our nation's economy. The effect of the quality education our students receive is far reaching beyond classroom walls. The impact of what is enacted at our schools has the ability to also sway our economy. According to a study from 2009 by McKinsey & Co., if the U.S. raised its education performance to the level of Korea, it could improve the U.S. economy by more than $2 trillion. We must spend less time focusing on how to bring the price of an education down and more time figuring out how to bring up the quality of that education.

COLLIER COUNTY: Rising tensions in the Middle East are having an impact here at home. Oil prices have hit $100 per barrel - a two-year high and that's translating into higher prices at the pump.
"It was $3 and change per gallon and now it's up to $3.19," driver Ron Rataj said.
Drivers are getting in line at local gas stations to fill up before the price at the pump jumps again.
"With all the unrest between Egypt and now what's happening in Libya so I think we'll see rises in prices at the gas tank," driver Terry Gardner said.
Experts say we've already seen the unrest in the Middle East push prices up.
"Twenty, 30 cents in the past month of so," AAA Area Executive David Pojero said. "Right now the fear is that what's going on there could spread to other countries in the Middle East where we get oil. Fear rises, as does the price of oil."
The fear is spreading to consumers. Officials at one gas station say they ran out of gasoline this week for several hours after people stocked up their own standalone tanks to take home.
"Frustrating. Literally I spend $150 per week on gas, $600 a month; that's half my mortgage payment," Rataj said.
"I mean, I need it. What can you do? You have to pay it to get where you need to get to," Tirone said.

East falls 2-1 to seventh-ranked A.C. Reynolds
Tue. September 17, 2013 at 10:15 p.m. | By From staff reports
ASHEVILLE — East Henderson's boys soccer team went toe-to-toe with A.C. Reynolds, one of the best teams in the state, Tuesday night and ended up giving the Rockets about all they could handle.
It took a late second-half goal by Hector Gutierrez to lift the Rockets, ranked seventh in the latest 3-A state poll, to a hard-fought 2-1 win over the unranked Eagles.
"Reynolds is a very good team. They beat the No. 1-ranked team in the state at one point this season, so they are really, really good," East coach Tim Roberts said. "We dominated them the first half, and then in the second half, we just had some unlucky bounces."
Diego Juarez, who has scored in every one of the Eagles' nine matches this season, had the lone goal for East off an assist by Jorge Chavez. That gave the Eagles a 1-0 halftime lead.
Ten minutes into the second half, ACR (9-3) got a goal by Fabian Faricalogh to tie things up, and then 10 minutes later, Gutierrez knocked in the game winner.
Reynolds outshot East 12-11, and Eagle goalkeeper Oscar Garcia had five saves.
The JV opener ended in a scoreless tie.
Up next for East (6-2-1) is a trip to Smoky Mountain today for a WNC Athletic Conference match.

I purchased the Heinz brand at walmart because that is all they had. I really did not think this would work because I have tried many things to help with my hormonal cystic breakouts and nothing has worked. I have been using this a week now and my face has completely cleared up. It looks fresher. The smell is awful but I don't really care because it made such a difference in my skin in just one week. I will continue to use this everyday.
I hate the smell. I live in hot, humid Asia & you smell horrible after rinsing your hair with any diluted vinegar. Don't see any result on my hair too. Prefer using coconut oil as hair mask and gentle deep cleansing shampoo for my slightly damaged chemical treated hair.

I've had a MASSIVE cherry angioma in the middle of my face for over a decade. Even my own mom thought it was ugly. My boyfriend was constantly saying "oh hey you have a big zit." It was raised and concealer wasn't helping. I went to a derm who offered to laser it off for the hefty sum of $300, plus weeks of downtime with bruising. I declined.
On the net some people had mentioned that if you scratch it with a CLEAN pin until it bleeds, then apply vinegar 3x a day until it scabs over, it can disappear. I was skeptical but had nothing to lose. You know if you are doing this process right because the vinegar does sting a bit. You can stop applying vinegar once the scab forms.
It scabbed over and looked really gross. I now had a giant black scab in the middle of my face. Terrific. But I managed not to pick at it even once, which is a miracle on its own, and left it alone. 2 weeks later, the scab fell off the the angioma was GONE. It's like magic. It's just GONE. For free instead of $300. I am THRILLED!

Purchased a bottle from Walmart (Great Value Brand) because I heard it would remove warts. Well, let me tell you...IT WORKS. My son has a dime size wart on his finger and after using ACV once, it has gone down a lot! I simply soaked a cotton ball and secured it with a band aid before going to bed. I think another 2-3 nights of this should do the trick.

Ok, so I only break this out on nights when I'm staying in and won't offend anyone with the ungodly stench. This stuff burns my eyes, it smells so bad, and I'll never get used to it.
HOWEVER, it has really helped with my skin! I've been using it for two weeks, and my skin is really clear and less oily, and my red acne marks are fading! It's also super nifty for a clarifying/shine rinse. Highly Recommend!
So, I have to preface this by mentioning the smell. It is appalling. It smells like bad white wine and gym socks, and the only thing that has made me physically gag just because of the smell. That said, it's a testament to how well it works, because the result makes it so worth it. I use it only on my hair (I wanted to try it on my face, but the thought of that smell sitting on my skin horrified me.) After shampooing, I pour this mixed with equal parts water through my hair, and leave it for 4-5 minutes, breathing through my mouth, and then I rinse it out. After, I apply conditioner, just to get the smell out, though my hair feels soft already. The smell remains a little, but disappears once the hair is dry, and my hair is gorgeous! I have long, thick, straight hair, down to my hips, so it doesn't give me a lot of body, but it makes it so clean, shiny, and soft that my hair feels almost slippery. Also, I use a deep waver on my hair every other day, and this, deep conditioner, and olive oil keep my hair healthy as hell. If you can handle the smell, I can't recommend this enough.

I always have a bottle of this in the house. Tried using it as a toner at different dilutions and it's a bit too acidic for my skin. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's raw and has the mother as stated on the label. Too much sugar, caffeine, non raw dairy products, medicines and other things can mess with the gut flora in our stomach. Our gut flora when healthy helps our body fight off sickness and absorb vitamins and minerals better and a healthy gut produces serotonin. There is a stomach and brain connection and when the stomach and intestines are not healthy/functioning properly then the brain is not either and you can have brain fog and emotional imbalance along with other things due to the stomach not producing serotonin very well. There is also the intestines to keep healthy. Very simply raw vinegar, and raw things like kombucha tea and fermented foods like raw sour kraut, help the stomach not only have the afore mentioned healthy flora but having a healthy stomach and intestines means the body absorbs vitamins an minerals better. It also helps the body start getting rid of the toxins stored in body fat and in the blood. When the stomach and "the pipes" are clean then your body can operate properly hence the weight loss and energy that people experience. Drinking raw apple cider vinegar is a quicker, and less harsh depending on your stomach, way to do the raw thing. On the Bragg's ACV bottle there is a recipe for what they call 'Bragg Vinegar Health Drink" and where it doesn't taste amazing it does get the job done. Keep in mind also that ACV is acidic, just as lemon juice for that famous lemon water drink everyone is so fond of, and over time erodes the enamel on teeth which can also lead to cavities. So after you drink your ACV drink make sure to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth. Don't be sipping on this stuff all day long.

Ok, I am another one of those people ACV works for. I use just any generic ACV -- no special brand. No clue why some things work for some people and not for others but I suspect this works for people who either have oily hair or use hair products that need clarifying out. My hair is curly and dry on the ends but I have an oily scalp. Makes my hair so shiny and soft! I was afraid to try it at first but figured that at worst I'd just have to go back and use more conditioner if it made my hair dry. (Baking soda made my hair so dry and awful it was almost scary but conditioning worked.) Anyway, remember ymmv (your mileage may vary:)) but it's a great, cheap choice if you are one of those whose hair likes it!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After reading the last review, I wanted to add one too. I also used this as a hair rinse and I got very dry, straw-like, tangly hair. I DID use apple cider vinegar, not white vinegar, and I also diluted it with water. I don't have hard water where I live. I think the results depend more than anything else on the kind of hair that you have. I think people who maybe have oily or normal hair to begin with, or whose hair is already fairly sleek or fine naturally, would probably get good results. But I would say to stay away if you have naturally dry, frizzy, coarse hair (like me). I do drink this, though, and even though I don't really notice any difference, but then again, I was already healthy before I started drinking it, and I didn't have any health issues. I use a straw to drink it (diluted in water) and after drinking it I use a mouthwash of baking soda diluted in water, since it's supposed to be bad for your teeth.

I have tried ACV (I used Braggs with "the mother") as a toner for acne with little luck.
However, I had a plantar wart once for 12 years and apple cider vinegar was the only thing that took care of that thing! I scraped the wart down everyday and put a ton of ACV on a cotton ball then duck taped it to my foot. I left it on for 24 hours before taking it off and repeating the process. It hurt like a mother once it started working ~ you have to fight through.
I haven't tried it for my hair yet, but I see a lot of people who are having issues with it drying their hair: A lot of the bad reviews are due to the fact that they're using plain white vinegar and not apple cider vinegar. Big difference there!
I also take apple cider vinegar internally, and since doing so I feel healthier in a multitude of ways, but I don't know what it's directly attributed to. I can't imagine the ACV is hurting matters though! Go alkalinity!

Defence minister A.K. Antony met the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the Writers' Building, or the State Secretariat, on Saturday.
Union Railway Minister Mukul Roy was also present at the hour-long meeting. Both Antony and Banerjee, however, refused to divulge details of the meeting.
When reporters asked whether discussions took place on the various river-bank beautification projects and the Joka-BBD Bag metro rail route — both of which have been held-up due to objections raised by the defence ministry — Antony said: "We are willing to give her all the necessary support."
He, however, did not clarify on the nature of such support.
Later, when the same questions were put to the chief minister, she refused to comment on the matter.

Virginia Attorney General's Office news release
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli warns Virginians to be cautious of scam phone calls from individuals who claim to be an employee of their electric utility provider and demand immediate payment of their bill.
There have been several recent reports of citizens receiving calls, where the caller claims to be a company employee and threatens to shut off electric service unless a delinquent bill is paid within a matter of hours.
Those called are then encouraged to go to Walmart or another retailer to purchase a Green Dot Visa card or other pre-paid debit card so that funds can be loaded onto the card and a payment can be made over the phone to the scammer.
The scammers appear to be specifically targeting Spanish-speaking customers, the elderly, and businesses in the state.
The scammers sometimes are able to gain an additional aura of legitimacy by "spoofing" the utility's phone number so that the citizen's Caller ID makes it appear they are receiving a phone call from their utility.
Instances have been reported to date by customers of Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, Dominion Virginia Power, and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative.
Cuccinelli urged all Virginians to protect themselves from these scammers and offers these tips.
"Scammers are always coming up with new tricks to take away your hard-earned money. Taking advantage of innocent people is intolerable, shameful, and appalling-- especially in this tough economy-- and my office will not stand for it," said Cuccinelli.
Consumers should know that, although it is possible that
their utility may contact them by phone if they are delinquent on a bill, the
utility will never direct them to make a payment in a specific form, for
example, by Green Dot Card. In those situations, the utility will only inform
the customer of how they may make a payment, such as by coming to the corporate
office and providing a check, money order or cash, or mailing a check with
their most recent bill, or contacting the corporate office and paying by credit
or debit card.
Consumers also should know that their utility typically will not communicate with them about the potential termination of their electric service over the phone but instead will do so only through a mailed communication.
"We are taking the necessary steps to inform the citizens of Virginia that scammers are real, and educating them on how to protect themselves," said Cuccinelli.
If you have questions about this scam, the Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection telephone counselors are available to assist you with your consumer questions. Please call the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-552-9963 if calling from Virginia, or 804-786-2042 if calling from the Richmond area. The Consumer Protection office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Customers of Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperatives can call toll-free at 1-800-234-7832 and speak with a customer service representative regarding any questions or concerns.
Customers of Dominion Power can call toll-free at 1-866-366-4357 and speak with a customer service representative.
Customers of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative can call toll-free at 1-800-552-3904 to speak with a customer service representative.

Mars has long been a source of fascination for those who seek life off the Earth. Early astronomers noted seasonal changes: the normally red surface of the planet could be seen to develop darker, greenish patches during the Martian 'summer', as the polar ice caps melt. They darken annually (in Martian terms) and always in the same patterns; in some years, they are more intense than others. This suggested the existence of plant growth to many astronomers before satellite exploration would suggest otherwise.
The twenty-two close-up photographs sent back by Mariner 4 in July 1965 showed a cratered surface with a thin atmosphere (largely composed of carbon dioxide at a pressure of 5 to 10 mbar). Later missions (especially Mariner 9 in 1971, Vikings 1 and 2 in 1976, Mars Global Surveyor since 1997 and Mars Pathfinder in 1997) have shown a dead planet without liquid water, suffering freezing temperatures and swept by violent winds. Nevertheless, they have also shown that conditions were once very different, with evidence for plate tectonics (no longer functioning), river channels, ocean shorelines and an atmosphere formerly richer in oxygen. This has led some researchers to suggest that not only life, but also an advanced civilisation may once have existed on Mars.
Cydonia Mensae
The part of Mars that has attracted most attention since satellite exploration of the planet began is the Cydonia Mensae region, located in the planet's northern hemisphere. The region bears traces of former shorelines – it is now accepted by most astronomers that Mars was once home to large bodies of water – and of eroded hills and mountains, corresponding to terrestrial buttes and mesas. A number of features were seen on Viking Orbiter photographs from the mid 1970s that led some researchers to suggest that they were artificial in origin. One of the most impressive parts of this claim was the concentration of anomalies in a single area; these anomalies included what was claimed to be an enormous carved face, three- and five-sided pyramids showing bilateral symmetry and walled compounds. Moreover, some of these features appeared to be in alignment with each other. The so-called 'Face' has attracted most attention.
The 'Face'
The 'Face' has been known as that since NASA engineers dubbed it such as a convenient shorthand. Located at about 40.9° N 9.45° W, it was photographed by the Viking Orbiter 1 on 25 July 1976 whilst obtaining images of a site suitable for Viking Lander 2. Eighteen images of the region were taken, but of these, eleven have resolutions worse than 550 m per pixel (in other words, no feature less than 550 m across can be seen on these images). Only two of them (frames 070A13, taken on 24 August 1976, and 035A72, taken on 20 July 1976) have resolutions of better than 50 m per pixel. They show a subrectangular elevated feature that displays roughly bilateral symmetry similar to a human face. The length is estimated as 2 km, the width as 1.5 km and the height as about 400 m. The long axis of the face is aligned at a bearing of approximately 329° to the Martian North Pole. In Frame 070A13, the sun is 28° above the horizon, while in 035A72, it is 11°; these differences in angle reveal slightly different details in the 'Face'.
The 'Face' lies close to the boundary between an area of flat-topped mesas and conical hills to its south-west, and a much flatter region in which it lies. Claims have been made for the presence of a former shoreline close to the 'Face', which may be important in considering its likely origin. Erosion is generally cited as the main factor in the creation of the landforms in this region, but a variety of claims were made during the 1980s and 90s that this was not sufficient to explain a number of features of the 'Face'. The original view of astronomers was that the northern past of Mars had originally been covered with a sediment that subsequently eroded, perhaps as a result of wind action. As evidence for the former presence of surface water on the planet has increased, so it has begun to seem more likely that the erosion in this region may have been exacerbated by former seas.
The initial announcement of the discovery of this feature dismissed it as being "formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth". The public took little notice of it until DiPietro and Molenaar published an analysis of the formation in 1982, in which they concluded that it was artificial. Since then, a number of popular writers have taken up the theme, most notably Richard Hoagland and Graham Hancock. The widespread availability of computers for processing digital images from the mid-1980s onwards led to a great deal of amateur work on the Viking Orbiter photographs. Different techniques for enhancing the photographs have been used, including techniques that attempt to deduce three-dimensional shape from shadows, the interpolation of pixels and so on. These techniques were all used to make the 'Face' appear more detailed and more humanoid than on the original satellite images. The 'Face' has become an iconic image, familiar to millions; its ghost-like features stare blankly from the covers of numerous books and videos. Demands for photographs of higher quality than those of 1976 – with their resolutions of no better than 43 m per pixel – grew during the 1990s, especially when NASA announced the forthcoming launch of Mars Observer on 22 September 1992. Equipped with a camera that could achieve a best resolution of up to 1.4 m per pixel, the probe was lost on 21 August 1993, three days before entering Martian orbit.
Predictably, the loss of the spacecraft prompted suggestions of conspiracy. They can be discounted on the grounds of cost alone: had NASA wished to reassure the public that it was interested in finding out more about the face whilst being determined to prove it natural, it could have found a less expensive way of doing it than sabotaging a mission designed to obtain better photographs. Indeed, the less expensive means is what the conspiracy theorists suggested about the results of the next probe, the Mars Global Surveyor: they declared the first photograph of the 'Face' obtained by the Mars Orbital Camera (Frame SPO-1-220/03) on 5 April 1998 to be fake. The original release of the photograph in an unenhanced form ought to have reassured the public that NASA was being as fair as possible.
This prompted yet more claims of unfair play when Malin Space Systems (which had designed the camera) released an enhanced version on the following day, removing the more egregious sampling errors from the raw data. The enhanced version shows none of the signs of artificiality alleged for the 1970s images, despite the claims of its supporters. The 1998 image, unlike the Viking Orbiter images, is an oblique, with all the distortion that entails. Even so, the 'Face' appears as a highly eroded ridge, with a steep perimeter. A second photograph from the Mars Orbital Camera, taken on 3 June 2000 and released on 31 January 2001, shows only a small part of the 'Face', but it confirms the 1998 photograph in every respect. This one, by contrast, is a near-vertical image. Supporters of artificiality have subsequently focused on the bilateral symmetry of the object, with its central ridge (the nose) and the apparent valley below the nose (the mouth); there is, however, no sign of a depression to the north-west of the south-western end of the ridge that would provide the missing 'left eye', nor does the ridge appear to be central to the mesa, confirming the lack of symmetry on the unprocessed version of Viking Orbiter image 070A13. To explain the lack of resemblance to the original view of the 'Face' as a highly structured and artificial carving, they now have to accept either that it has suffered a great deal of erosion from its pristine form or that NASA has tampered with the photograph taken by the Mars Orbital Camera, as it was the identification of the pristine form that led to the claims for artificiality being made in the first place.
The 'Face' therefore emerges as an optical illusion (exactly as its discoverers in 1976 had claimed), known technically as pareidolia. This is the phenomenon that allows believers to see an image of Mother Theresa in a cinnamon bun or the Arabic name of Allah in a sliced aubergine. The basis of the illusion is the human brain's tendency to make understandable and detailed patterns from vague stimuli; the same ability allows us to recognise melodies from short or distorted fragments and to see numbers in patterns of dots used for tests of colour blindness. Faces are one of the first patterns the infant human learns to recognise, so it is unsurprising that a face-like mesa on Mars should be 'read'; by so many as an actual representation of a human (or closely humanoid) face.
The 'D&M Pyramid'
Close to the 'Face', DiPietro and Molenaar noticed a number of angular peaks. Some of these appeared to be geometrically regular and they dubbed them 'pyramids'. One in particular, to the south-west, appeared to possess impressive geometric characteristics. It can be seen on image 035A72, to the right of the 'Face' and a better view of it was obtained from image 070A13. From the shadow, it can be calculated that the peak stands some 500 m above the surrounding plain.
Richard Hoagland dubbed it the D&M Pyramid, in honour of DiPietro and Molenaar, and the name has stuck. The better photograph reveals it to be roughly pentagonal with apparent bilateral symmetry. The supposed main axis points towards the 'Face'; the south-west angle points towards the 'city' and the north-west angle towards a circular feature referred to as the 'tholus', named after its resemblance to the Tholos tombs of the Aegean Early Bronze Age. A variety of mathematical relationships have been claimed for the angles and the ratios between them, involving the square roots of two and thee and the relationship e/π. These relationships are impressive, but they depend on an assumption that one face of the 'pyramid' has been damaged at some stage and that its shadowed face is as apparently smooth as the undamaged faces.
When viewed on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the 'straight' edges can be seen to diverge from their supposed lines by up to two pixels (which, at the resolution of this photograph, is equivalent to 86 m). Moreover, the sides that ought to be of identical length for the ratios to be correct are not. The south-western base measures 21.6 pixels (calculated as the hypotenuse of a triangle whose two other sides are 12 and 18 pixels on the image), which calculates to be approximately 930 m; the north-western is 23.7 (i.e. √(112 + 212)) pixels or 1020 m. This is a difference of almost 10%. Similarly, the northern and southern faces, which ought to be identical are 27.2 (√(82 + 262)) and 30.8 (√(72 + 302)) pixels respectively (or 1170 m and 1325 m), a difference of more than 13%. The calculations performed by Erol Torun are based on Mark Carlotto's enhancement of the image, which interpolates data between pixels; the figures calculated here are based on the original data, lengths of side being calculated by applying Pythagoras's Theorem to a direct count of pixels on Viking Orbiter frame 070A13. The margin of error in each calculated length is not greater than one pixel, so even allowing for this (and therefore accommodating Carlotto's enhancements), we cannot state that any two sides are of equal length. The data, poor as they are, will simply not support the assertion. On this basis, we can discount the geometric evidence supporting the contention that the 'D&M Pyramid' is an artificial construction.
Moreover, the same Mars Orbital Camera frame that rephotographed the 'Face' in 1998 also clipped the north-western corner of the 'D&M Pyramid'. This confirms the analysis of the Viking Orbiter frames, that there is no convincing evidence for artificiality whatsoever in the feature, even though only a small part of it is covered by the image. The sides are not smooth in any sense, the base does not consist of straight lines, nor is there a sharp angle at the corner or between 'faces', at least on this part of the supposed monument. In archaeological terms, the case can be considered closed.
The 'city'
To the north of the 'Face' lies an area dubbed 'the city' because of its supposed concentration of monuments. These principally consist of further 'pyramids', generally with three or five faces and therefore quite unlike any human pyramids in Egypt or Mesoamerica. The same general problems that attend the 'D&M Pyramid' apply here. The supposed regularity of these structures vanishes once a careful count is made of pixel numbers on the raw images and allowance is made for the margin of error in pixel size (which is 47 m on this photograph, 035A72). Moreover, the Mars Orbital Camera reveals a mountain very similar to the 'D&M Pyramid'. At the extreme north-western end of the monuments is the so-called 'fort', which, in DiPietro and Molenaar's enhancements, gains a row of cellular structures along its eastern edge. They are too small to be visible on the original Viking Orbiter photograph, which means that no amount of enhancement can bring them out: they can only be artefacts of the enhancement process. The Mars Orbital Camera rephotographed the 'fort' on three separate occasions, with it each time appearing as a low hill with erosion features that include apparently recent landslips.
Other 'sites' on Mars
Claims for artificiality have been made for several other sites on Mars, mostly in the Cydonia Mensae region. The 'tholus' has already been mentioned, but there is little about its appearance to suggest an artificial origin. Whereas the 1976 Viking Orbiter photographs give it a smooth and near-circular appearance, the Mars Orbital Camera photograph frame m03/00766, taken on 4 July 1999 with a resolution of 3.11 m per pixel, makes it clear that the feature is entirely natural. There appear to be perhaps three relict shorelines around the feature that suggest it was once an island in the shallow ocean thought to have existed in this area in the remote past. There are also supposed to be further faces, an 'Inca city', runways and other features that cannot be explained in terms of geology. Again, many of these turn out to be based on enhancements of the Viking Orbiter images that cannot bear the weight of interpretation placed on them. Claims of this nature are not being made for the Mars Orbital Camera images, except for a few much smaller features that nevertheless also appear to be of geological origin. Much of the debate revolves around those features picked out from the Viking Orbiter photographs as being anomalous.
There are at least two other claimed faces, in addition to the crater formation dubbed the 'smiley face' by NASA engineers keen to show that the original 'Face' was nothing more than an optical illusion. Neither of the two supposedly artificial faces is of a size comparable with the Cydonia Mensae formation, nor is either of them more than vaguely similar to a human face. Both are at very poor resolutions and both resemble pareidolic images of the face of Jesus seen in foliage. Similarly, there have been claims for images of dolphins. There is no need to examine these claims here, as most investigators outside the fringe have chosen to ignore them, and the claims rarely surface in the fringe literature (other than on websites whose content is often very bizarre). Claims have also been made for the existence of pyramids in Elysium Regio, but they suffer from exactly the same problems as the pyramids of Cydonia Mensae: poor resolution on the Viking Orbiter images and Mars Orbital Camera images that does not support the artificiality hypothesis.
On the other hand, the Mars Orbital Camera is revealing all manner of curious and unexpected formations. The discovery of such features as mottled surfaces apparently deriving from the partial erosion of light sand dunes exposing darker bedrock and so-called 'glass tubes' that seem to be volcanic in origin is important in adding significantly to our understanding of geomorphological (areomorphological?) processes on the planet. The Mars Sojourner roving vehicle also showed much the same sort of surface as the Viking landers had more than twenty years previously, but in greater detail and with the advantage of multiple perspectives. What is significant about recent photographs from the planet is the lack of visible artificial monuments, especially claimed new 'sites'.

This is just bad science. You've made significant leaps in your arguments, and you write with a propagandistic tone, using "so-called" and "supposed" repeatedly in contexts that are, quite frankly, not relevant to the debate. let me put it to you this way. you stake your entire claim on the relatively small variances in the "supposed" geometry and symmetry demonstrated by Hoagland et al. However, if you bisect your face with a mirror you will find you don't look like yourself on either side. Therefore, you are a trick of light and shadow over a natural erosional formation.
Keith, interesting site. Difficult to take seriously though, when every reply, not to mention every article is written with a very condescending quality…even resorting to name calling I see. Unfortunately, this is not the work or etiquette of serious scientists that I had hoped it would be.
I hear proponents on the other side of these issues questioning the standard academic conclusions, not insulting them. If one cannot at least step back and just say "I don't know but here is my idea or interpretation…" then I think you will lose many people on your hardline stance. Fact of the matter is, interpretation and idea is the best we can do with various evidence from the past. I'm guessing you have not been to Mars ;)
Good luck with your continuing studies.
Thanks for this website. When the Face on Mars came out I was naturally excited to learn more, and in my gut I felt that Hoagland and D&M were perhaps going too far. However, as I followed the investigation during the following decades I was really convinced that something possibly artificial was there. But after recent photographic evidence has been made available, I realized that it was, indeed the result of low res photography and pixelization. What we are seeing perfectly natural land forms on an alien planet that underwent an unusual geological history. There are still many mysteries on Mars and other worlds we've photographed and I'm open to idea that there might have been intelligences that once occupied these planets (including our moon) but until solid evidence is released – it's merely a possibility without any real evidence. Anyway, I'm glad to see some dispassionate and objective reviews of these anomalies.
all you have is your pixel theory and that R C hoagland cant decipher satelite images and the word of nassa,who cant tell you the truth by law so i have heard, are you familiar with anthonybecket.com
I agree with Blah Blah's comments. I did project management for a engineering and manufacturing companies which supplied NASA with custom built switching systems. These are used for communications, telemetry, laboratory test systems, wind tunnel testing, shuttle pad systems, etc… for over 20 years at Kennedy Space Center, Goddard, Wallops Island, Langley and many others. I found it amazing anything ever got into space at all. After reviewing several of this site's webpages, the constant condescending comments about most everything are everywhere. All scientific progress starts somewhere as a basic idea or theory. Astronomers and other disciplines such as space and astrophysics, are perhaps the most visible science professions with the least accountability. Physics isn't really any better, when a man confined to a wheelchair is almost worshiped like a God. For years he said time travel was impossible, then later admitted it was and took credit for it. Same for teleporting, too. Most real advances in any science originate from often unpaid, amateur scientists. Amateur inventors and researchers often think outside the box, and are not grant driven or funding driven as all academia is today. This is just how research is and has been for at least a century. NASA has been caught lying about many things, including the "red sky" of Mars. In my 2005 book "What NASA Isn't Telling About Mars" I have entire chapter devoted to this. I proved beyond doubt NASA did color shifting toward red. I used their NASA color reference charts which are mounted on Viking Lander and rovers like Spirit, Opportunity that proved NASA was red-shifting images. When the camera took color images of these charts, blue was was made purple and the white stripes on the Viking Lander's flag were PINK. When I color-corrected these images to MATCH the color reference charts, the sky became blue and the surface looks tan like the Arizona desert. NASA and other agencies "think" no one is ready for the truth, which is yet another lie.
TedT's vitriol against scientists led me to suspect that his wild imaginings were rejected by people who knew more about the subject than he did. Thus his sensitivity to "condescending" attitude. Indeed, just a minute or two of Googling TedT's book name leads to a morass of conspiracy crankery.
Did TedT really just call the author condescending AND make a derogatory comment about a man in a wheelchair in the same comment? Excited for your book, guy.
i am clear now that,the pyramids was built by egyptians with the help of an aliens..because none of us dono how could be the earth and its shape.but we had built many kind of pyramids.
how is this possible?????????
actually it is the shape we have not found at alllll….
but mayan's pyramid are built by the human and you can see a many difference between the both..
Hey TedT
People are allowed to change their minds. Science does that.
People also lie. Scientists are also people.
I wouldn't be slandering people based on disability status if I were you. There could be scientists on this forum with neurological diseases who look up to Hawking because he is a survivor who has inspired a popular interest in the sciences, no matter the quality of his work (and some of that quality is fracking awesome, actually).
Now, if colour shifting occurred in Mars images, it might be for more reasons other than attempting to fabricate the appearance of Mars. Although, fabricating that is possible, too.
An example could be the technology used to take the photographs. You ought to know better than I do that imaging can be of non visible light spectrum and in doing so can show features that are distorted or blocked by something else. MRIs do this, X rays and such. Mars surface may well be blocked by some of the coverage that creates those violent winds and the sattelites are supposed to be in synchronous orbit, not under the atmospheric layers.
So those images won't show in the original colour as we understand it. Just like the images above. Recalculating the waveforms into the visual spectrum is a complex task and errors and debate about method can occur without deliberate attempts at fabricating the evidence.
As for NASA accountability, it is not the only group involved in space exploration these days. The cold war is over. It could be more accountable, as could anyone and anything these days. But NASA seems pretty keen on sharing what it learns in almost real time – such as watching Venus transit last year on the internet.
So I wouldn't be too quick to think the worst of them.
Get a telescope. Point towards Mars when it's next visible ( too close to the Sun at the moment) and have a look at the colour for yourself. The better the telescope the more you will see. It is possible to see some features. The pole caps are visible and when planet wide dust storms occur these can be watched as well. A spectroscope can be used to find the composition of the atmosphere. Any one can do this. However you might be disapointed to find that your results are going to match those of all space gencies that have sent probes to Mars. Whilst probes give us more detail, the basic make up of Mars can still be observed from Earth using ever more sophisticated amateur equipment. After all before the space age telescopes, spectroscopes and radar were used to find out about the planets. And they are still used today by both professionals and amateurs. So if you don't believe Nasa about the conditions on Mars, check for yourself. It might surprise you that is does have a reddish colour by the way or is there a conspiracy amounst all telescope manufacterers and Nasa.
It's pretty obvious all these "artifacts" are optical illusions. The "city" looked like a bunch of rocks to me. The "pyramid" didn't look perfect.
Also,there's plenty of rocks on Mars. There's bound to be a few weird looking ones.
Take an honest look at face2.0catch.com
It covers the second face at Cydonia along with two distinct dolphin-shaped features.
I first read about the Mars Face in Analog 1988. I found the pictures interesting but unconvincing without more data. Which we got in 1998. The best argument I could make is: If the Mars Face was real, Nasa would have released/leaked the data ASAP. It would have done wonders for their budget.
Man, these pictures are smaller than my eye can see. Are you kidding me? We see a HD images of galaxies million light years away, but never see a HD images of the Moon and Mars anomalies. Do you ever ask yourself WHY? You blindly believe and that's your biggest mistake!
Frankly, looking at Mars rather reminds me of the northern half of Africa on Google Earth, however, in a far more advanced state of aeolian erosion under harsher atmospheric conditions. The predominance of oxides across its surface however, suggests this came from the erosion of huge magmic outflows, the scale of which would suggest some global cataclysmic event prior to this. I would even go so far as to suspect both Phobos and Deimos as having formed from magma subsequently thrown into space by some massive asteroid impact. If this is the case, I doubt that anything artifically made prior to this cataclysm would have survived the tremendous forces. Events of this scale would have changed the face of the planet almost entirely. Conversely, it would have taken a much larger Mars of fluid dynamics under its crust to retain a atmosphere suitable for life in the first place. Either way, these are questions that can only be properly resolved by on-site geophysical studies; although there is geologic evidence enough in the various surface formations to indicate how this planet systematically came to its demise. This may only be a theory as any other, but makes more sense than looking for spurious suggestions of artificial structures to prove what to whom?
If alien civilizations exist (I'm neutral towards the exo-planet "another earth" hype in the press), then they had histories. Some may have died out and others gone past the stage of monumental buildings, but alien archeology exists. Whether it exists in the solar system remains to be found. There is a great fringe industry that demands ancient astronauts as the doers of everything our ancestors did, but that's mishegoss.
It also should not present any real evidence from being examined. If Mars was once inhabitable and warm with hydrogen as the greenhouse gas, then for how long? If Venus once had oceans and an earth like surface temperature, then for how long? How long does it take for evolution to bring forth an intelligent species? What if evolution is only partially correct and intelligence is selected for by a strong anthropic universe?
I don't argue this to imply UFO aliens, it's likely that any intelligence died out both on Mars and on Venus because Mars could not keep it's atmosphere and Venus experienced a hellish global warming due to the sun's increasing energy output. It's not likely that either planet evolved an intelligent species capable of space flight because we don't see clear remnants of their space program. Either would be interested in earth as the last habitable planet from their perspective.
But when we get beyond this solar system, we will either find other star systems barren of advanced life or we will find life to be very common, with cultures at all stages, so exo-archeology will someday become a true science and not part of a conspiracy theory aimed at NASA for allegedly suppressing evidence.

The Cleveland Indians inked Mark Reynolds to a one-year deal worth $6 million, according to MLB.com. The deal also includes $1.5 million in incentives, which could take the total value of the contract to $7.5 million.
The Baltimore Orioles declined to tender Reynolds a contract last month, making him a free agent. The Orioles were open to the possibility of bringing him back, but instead it looks like he'll be playing his baseball this summer in Cleveland.
Reynolds had a down year in 2012, hitting only .221/.335/.429 with 22 home runs - his lowest total since 2007. The Indians are hoping he can return to the production he put up in 2009 when he hit 44 home runs for the Diamondbacks and earned some down-ballot MVP votes.
Even if Reynolds repeats his 2012 season, it will be a welcome shot in the arm for the Indians' offense. They received puny production from both first base and designated hitter last season, as they collectively posted OPS's of .675 and .702 from those positions, respectively.
