A ship that sailed under a black cloud
The Costa Concordia had an inauspicious launch when the champagne bottle failed to break, later she hit the docks in Palermo.PT2M23S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-1q236 620 349 January 16, 2012

If maritime superstitions are to be believed, the Costa Concordia was doomed from the moment it was launched.
They were in their cabin, we still don't understand why.
When a grand christening ceremony was held in July 2006 in the port of Civitavecchia, the ceremonial champagne bottle failed to smash against the hull of the luxury liner - now on its side in the sea as rescue workers hunt for missing passengers - and wet the bow.
Portent of doom ... Amateur footage shows the champagne bottle bouncing off the side of the Cost Concordia at its christening ceremony in 2006. Photo: ilGiornale.it
In a video capturing the moment, some among the crowd - which included supermodel Eva Herzigová - can be heard gasping as the bottle is hurled from a height and bounces, unbroken, off the side.
It is a sign some seafarers consider to be a harbinger of bad luck. Ominously, the Titanic was never christened.
"It was born bad and ended up worse," the Italian newspaper Il Giornale pronounced in a headline about Friday's tragedy.
More trouble ... The Costa Concordia was reportedly filmed hitting a port in 2008. Photo: il.Giornale.it
Just two years later, on November 22, 2008, the Costa Concordia suffered a second stroke of bad luck.
The ship was attempting to enter the post of Palermo, Sicily in a storm when it hit the dock and was damaged.
The latest accident occurred on Friday the 13th, a day some consider unlucky.

On Sunday, two South Korean honeymooners and an Italian crewman were rescued from the wreckage of the cruise ship wreck in Italy as emergency services found another two bodies, bringing the death toll to five.
Divers found two elderly men wearing lifejackets in a cabin in the rear of the submerged part of the 17-deck Costa Concordia, said the coastguard.
"I'm afraid that we could find others," Angelo Scarpa, one of the divers who recovered the bodies, said, as one Australian diving expert suggested it was "highly likely" that other passengers are trapped alive in air pockets on the vessel.

They had had to break the glass roof over one of the ship's dining rooms to get to them, said Scarpa. One victim was wearing a chain and the other had a wallet, which would help with identification, he added.
The divers would now focus on the dining areas in the search for more bodies, he added, as many passengers were eating when the boat hit the rocks.
Fire brigade spokesman Luca Cari said the rescued South Korean honeymooners had been evacuated by helicopter and were in "perfect condition".

"They were in their cabin, we still don't understand why," he added.
The rescued Italian, an officer responsible for passenger security on the vessel, was found after emergency crews spent hours trying to reach him after hearing his voice echoing in the massive ship.
More than a dozen people are still missing after the luxury liner, carrying more than 4200 passengers and crew, hit rocks just off the Tuscan island.

Rescuers said the search in the half-submerged ship was highly dangerous because the decks were at almost a 90-degree angle and there was a risk the ship could slip off the rocks it had struck and sink altogether.
Two French passengers and one Peruvian crew member were confirmed as dead on Saturday, apparently after jumping into the chilly Mediterranean waters with dozens of others in a chaotic evacuation.

Come and see the real thing! Exhibitions at Melbourne Museum, Immigration Museum, Scienceworks and beyond.
From 29 August 2013 to 27 January 2014, Melbourne Museum hosted Inside: Life in Children's Homes and Institutions. This travelling exhibition was developed by the National Museum of Australia in the wake of the Australian Government's 2009 national apology to Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants.
Comment left by visitor Sebastian that reads, "No child should suffer as much as this. "Source: Museum Victoria
Some half a million children spent time in institutional care during the 20th century and while some feel that they were treated well, others experienced terrible suffering, neglect, and in the worst cases, abuse. This exhibition is presented through personal accounts of people who grew up in care. Sometimes harrowing, often distressing, Inside's purpose is to acknowledge stories that have long been suppressed or ignored.
An area of the exhibition was set aside with slips of paper and an invitation to visitors to record their reflections. Hundreds of visitors filled out a slip of paper and pinned it up, compiling a very intimate account of how they felt about the exhibition. Many of the comments are extremely personal and we thank visitors for sharing their experiences in such an open and honest way.
The excerpts and examples in this post show the range of responses from former residents of Children's Homes, their friends and families, and from people who had no previous connection to this awful part of our country's history.
My father lived in foster care. I still remember the stories of how he was beaten. It's so painful looking at these things. Caterina,19
1930s-1950s St Augustine's Geelong was my father's home from 5 weeks old. Messed him up for life, but he managed to be a wonderful husband, father and mate. Darren, 49
So sad, so ANGRY. Such abuse shapes your life and requires great courage, support and time to work through. Monique, 34
For my Grandfather, placed in the Ballarat Orphanage at age 3 in 1923. We never heard your full story as you didn't want to talk about it. This exhibition has given us an idea of what your life would have been like. May you rest in peace. xx Shaye, 37
Keep the truth shining and justice for all, I was 12 year old when I was put into a home for no reason at all like many girls. I will hold my head up / no shame. Suzanne, 45
Comment left by visitor Claire at the Inside exhibition. It reads, "Words fail me. What I would give to be able to right all the wrongs."Source: Museum Victoria
The homes are still with us today, happy for the ones who have been able to move on. Heather, 70
It was tough there but I turned out all right. Don, 74
I was seven when I was told I had nine other brothers and sisters and I had my first birthday party when I turned 17. Alf, 62
This is an authentic exhibition that reveals a very dark side of Australia's 20th century social history. The personal stories of abuse make me weak. But I do not perceive the story told to be wholly balanced. Mark Scott (MD of the ABC) was a child migrant and internee at Fairbridge, NSW. A few resilient souls did rise above the indifferent care at orphanages and achieved success. Tell that story too please. David, 59
It was foster care for me… 10 long years of moving from house to house. At Christmas time three houses in one week. The memories of a gift bring tears to my eyes. A simple Beatles poster from strangers. These people had taken time to find out what I liked – meant the world to me. Never abused but never loved, roof over my head but not a home, always alone but for the memory of that Beatles poster. That memory brings me warmth. That Christmas I was known. Juliette, 36
I am so sorry for ever saying 'it's in the past, get over it,' 'I didn't do it, why should I pay!' - I now understand my ignorance to these horrific occurrences. My compassion is at large thanks to this display. Anon age 18
Comment left visitor Michael to Inside. It reads, "They stole our dignity"Source: Museum Victoria
If you missed Inside but would like to know more, the NMA Inside website contains many of the exhibition's stories and objects. Inside: Life in Children's Homes and Institutions travels next to the Western Australian Maritime Museum, Fremantle from 14 March to 29 June 2014 and to the Queensland Museum, Brisbane from 9 August to 16 November 2014.

Melbourne Museum does not host many motor vehicles, but the Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style exhibition has showcased three very special cars. An iconic 1964 Aston Martin DB5 used in Goldeneye and Skyfall travels with the exhibition and appears at the entrance. Another Aston Martin, a 1969 DBS from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, was on display in the museum foyer from mid-October until mid-December.
Currently in the main foyer of Melbourne Museum is a very rare car that appeared in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice — a 1966 Toyota 2000GT convertible.

You Only Live Twice was shot predominantly in Japan and the film's producers requested an exotic, locally-produced vehicle worthy of a James Bond production. They saw images of the yet-to-be released 2000GT, and knew they had found their car.
Two models of the vehicle were used for filming, and were made into convertibles to enable the crew to get better shots of the actors and the interior. A common misconception is that the cars were modified because Sean Connery was too tall to fit in them, but the request was made to Toyota before production commenced. The two vehicles used for production were the only 2000GT convertibles ever produced.

The 2000GT was one vehicle that James Bond did not get to drive, as his Japanese accomplice Aki (played by Akiko Wakabayashi), drove him firstly to meet his contact Mr Henderson, before twice rescuing him from inevitable danger. The car is memorably introduced when Bond greets Aki at a sumo wrestling tournament with the code phrase "I love you", and she responds with "I have a car" — lines written by Roald Dahl.
Only 337 models of the 2000GT were ever produced, making it a very rare and desirable car for collectors around the world. This particular model is a popular attraction at the Toyota Automobile Museum in Aichi, Japan and is on loan to Melbourne Museum until the exhibition closes.
Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style runs until 23 February 2014.

The whole preparation department have been hard at work over the past few months getting their creations ready for the opening of Scienceworks' new permanent exhibition, Think Ahead.
I went to visit the team during their last week of preparation to see some of their projects in the final stages of development.

What has always impressed me about all the clever individuals in the preparation department is that their job combines highly refined artistic skills with science and design....and a whole lot of patience and lateral thinking!
The team's recent body of work for Think Ahead is certainly a testament to their craft. Using a creative mix of materials ranging from state-of-the-art plastic technology to readymade dollhouse furniture, the team have created a wide range of objects and interactives for permanent display including plastic foods, futuristic human figurines, replica ice cores, miniature dioramas and life-sized human mannequins. They even utilised the museum's 3D printer to produce miniature model tyres for their futuristic farm machinery.

With the exhibition targeted at 8 to 12 year olds, the team have included many clever little twists to catch the eye of their audience. In one display, a model dolls house that shows the evolution of a child's bedroom from the turn of the century to today, and references to contemporary pop culture are included in the form of mini Diablo and Angry Birds posters pasted on the walls of the modern bedroom.

Other creations such as Michael Pennell's future human figurines and Steven Sparrey's silicone life sized mannequin (modelled from Michael's face) look like props right from the set of a new sci-fi blockbuster.

Think Ahead opens this week at Scienceworks.
Can you imagine zipping around your city – or even between cities – via vacuum tubes? The idea of using air to push or pull people through tubes is familiar from sci-fi shows like Futurama, but could we really travel by tube from Melbourne to Perth, say?

For over a century, pneumatic (air-driven) systems have transported small parcels, cash and documents quickly and securely over short distances. You may have seen pneumatic tubes in supermarkets that provide change or send money from the till to a central depository. Several European cities, including Paris and Prague, once had pneumatic postal systems. These days, many hospitals use air tubes to transport drugs and tests between pharmacies, labs and wards far more quickly than a human could carry them. Stanford Hospital's network is so extensive that it earned a listing in the Atlas Obscura and features in this video made by the Exploratorium.
But would the idea work on a grand scale for transporting people? Elon Musk, inventor and chief executive of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, thinks it could. Earlier this year he released his concept for the Hyperloop – a superfast, solar-powered, city-to-city elevated transit system that he says could take passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.

Air tubes have moved people before; America's first subway in New York City was actually a prototype pneumatic train built in 1870 by Alfred Ely Beach that ran for just one block. Other pneumatic railways operated in various cities from the 1840s, including London, Paris and Dublin. None traversed more than a few miles or survived longer than a few years simply because steam and electric trains proved more practical. However Elon Musk now estimates that the cost of building tubes across California would be far less than building above-ground rail tracks.

The beauty of pneumatic transport is its simplicity: just by changing the air pressure in a tube, you can shift anything contained within the tube. This principle is familiar to every kid who has used a straw to sip a drink or fire a spitball at the teacher. All you need is a durable capsule, a powerful pump to push air through the tubes, and a way to divert the capsules to their correct destination.

To demonstrate the concept, we're installing a pneumatic system in Think Ahead that was made by Lamson Solutions. This company has built transport apparatus in Australia since 1898; their early retail systems evolved from hollow balls rolling along inclined tracks, through to flying-fox style wires overhead launching spring-loaded capsules of money. In 1908 they introduced vacuum tubes and still make them today for hospitals, stores, manufacturing plants and more. Pneumatic transport for rubbish or recycling collection in big cities is another developing idea; it would certainly take a lot of smelly and fuel-guzzling rubbish trucks off the roads.
The potential of pneumatic transport is just one of the fascinating ideas in Think Ahead, an exhibition about imagining the future, which will be opening at Scienceworks this December.
Matilda swapped a life working as an engineer for a life curating the museum's historical Engineering collection. She's very curious about how stuff works, how it's made and why. If a machine's got a switch, she'll definitely flick it.
What do you do when a significant part of our local transport history would make a great addition to a new exhibition, but it no longer exists? Well, you recreate it in miniature, of course.
By 1888, Melbourne was already on its way to an integrated suburban rail transport network, and horse-drawn tramcars mingled with cable tramcars. Tramcars propelled by electric motors were very new and developing rapidly. Overseas commercially-operated installations were powered by either on-board batteries or connections to external underground or overhead electrical wiring. The first electric tram powered by an overhead wire in Australia was demonstrated as a fee paying, passenger-carrying attraction within the grounds of the 1888 Melbourne International Centennial Exhibition.

While news reports from the time provide basic information about the tramcar and the exhibit, we couldn't find any surviving photographs. However images do exist of its later use, in the following year, on the Box Hill-Doncaster Tramway Company's route. This route ran from Box Hill Railway Station up what is now known as Tram Road, towards the Observation Tower and close to where Doncaster Shoppingtown now stands.
We provided these photographs, supplemented with curatorial research gleaned from historical literature such as newspapers, engineering journals, patents and electric tramcar and street railway technology reviews, to model maker Mark O'Brien. He used this information to prepare a digital model using 3D modelling software, carefully deconstructing parts to suit the manufacturing method.

Then came the real art of the project: translating the digital model into an actual object. The miniature parts were crafted with a blend of traditional model making techniques and additive manufacturing technology (3D printing).

When the Box Hill tramway closed down, the original tramcar was sold to H.V. McKay's Sunshine agricultural implements manufacturing plant and stripped of its electric motor and fittings. The tramcar carriage itself became one of the shelter sheds used for workers' leisure activities in the nearby parklands. It suffered the fate of most wooden objects left out in the weather for years. In the museum environment however, this miniature representation of the tramcar will live on as part of the as part of the state's permanent Rail Transport Collection, and will be part of the Think Ahead exhibition at Scienceworks from December 2013.
The da Vinci robotic surgery system was first used at the Epworth ten years ago. Now superseded, this first da Vinci has been donated to MV by Epworth Healthcare for Think Ahead at Scienceworks, an upcoming permanent exhibition about the future. This robot is a great example of how technology is shaping our lives… and, in this case, saving lives.

Like many robots, the da Vinci needs a highly-skilled human controller – surgeons like Dr Daniel Moon, Director of Robotic Surgery at Epworth. He's a urologist who specialises in cancers of the prostate, the treatment of which has transformed since the introduction of robotic surgery.

Treating this cancer involves removing the prostate (prostatectomy). It has always been a very delicate operation because this little gland, buried deep in the pelvis, is very close to important tissues that control urinary and reproductive functions. "With this operation," says Dr Moon, "if you get it wrong by millimetres, you can cripple someone."
So why is a robot so useful in this instance? Firstly, it can operate using much smaller incisions because its 'hands' – or robotic instruments – are much smaller than human hands. Smaller, less invasive incisions mean shorter recovery times. The instruments can perform very tiny, tightly-controlled movements beyond the range of usual human dexterity. Very high-definition footage is sent back to the surgeon which means he or she can see what's going on, and carefully avoid damaging any healthy tissues. "We see anatomy better than we've ever seen it before," says Dr Moon.
The surgeon sits at a console away from the operating table and controls the surgical instruments with sensitive thumb and finger grips. Foot pedals control the camera which, in the new generation of the da Vinci, can include ultrasound. The system is calibrated to the surgeon so that his or her hand movements are robotically scaled down and translated into minute adjustments of the instruments working inside the patient.

This medical advance coincided with the increasing prevalence of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which detects potential prostate cancers very early in their development. Previously, prostate cancers usually reached a more advanced stage before medical intervention. "Surgery to remove the prostate before PSA testing was risky and really interfered with quality of life," says Dr Moon. "We'd take those risks when you had a bulky and aggressive tumour, but not, for example, when you have a patient in his mid-50s with early cancer and no symptoms." The da Vinci offers a surgeon the best possible vision, dexterity, and ergonomics to reduce the operative risks.
From the first da Vinci operation in Melbourne ten years ago, surgeons performed over 3500 prostate operations robotically in 2012, and da Vinci systems are used in dozens of hospitals across Australia. The types of operations are increasing, too – Dr Moon lists removing tumours from the uterus, bowel and kidneys, and repairing cardiac valves, as other kinds of operations suited to this tool. An added benefit is that the ergonomics of operating is much kinder on the bodies of the surgeons; instead of many hours on their feet, bending awkwardly, the surgeon sits comfortably at the console.
This kind of machine was born from technology developed for two similar, yet different, purposes: the need for astronauts to repair satellites from within the safety of a space shuttle, and an idea to operate on wounded soldiers in the battlefield without placing surgeons on the front line. Both applications require instruments that can be minutely controlled from a distance, and excellent images of the procedure sent back to the operator. These space-age developments are now benefitting Earth-bound civilian people too, and one day a robot might help to keep you healthy.

THURSDAY, April 15 (HealthDay News) -- More than 4 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 17 have used an inhalant in the past year, including many with a respiratory condition such as pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma or sinusitis, according to The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an annual survey sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The authors, who combined survey data from 2006 to 2008, found that an estimated 2.4 million adolescents (9.7 percent) had used an inhalant -- defined as "liquids, sprays, and gases that people sniff or inhale to get high or to make them feel good" -- in their lifetime, and one million (4.1 percent) had used an inhalant in the past year.
The report also notes that, of adolescents with at least one of these respiratory conditions in the past year -- asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis -- 4.4 percent also used an inhalant in the past year. The inhalants most often used by adolescents with at least one of the four past-year respiratory ailments were glue, shoe polish, or toluene; gasoline or lighter fluid; and spray paints.
"Inhalants are easily accessible, cheap, and easy to hide; they are also addictive and deadly. An estimated 44,000 adolescents use inhalants and place their lives and health at risk on any given day. Inhalant use may exacerbate existing medical conditions, such as respiratory conditions. Yet adolescents with respiratory conditions are no less likely to use inhalants than those in the general population," the authors write.

British Government Shoots Down Digital Radio Promo
As it turns out, the phrase "never say never" is more than just the title of actor Sean Connery's last cinematic hurrah as British secret agent 007. It also summarizes a recent admonition by Britain's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) regarding a promotional campaign extolling the virtues of digital radio in the UK.
According to a story by Mark Sweeney in the Guardian UK, a recent flight of ads generated by the Digital Radio Development Bureau (DRB) was banned by the ASA for being misleading. The brouhaha was prompted by a citizen complaint about a radio ad that suggested DAB radios were immune to the interference and dropouts experienced by analog radio users. During the ad, an announcer's voice is heard with sporadic dropouts along with noise even as it advises that digital radio is immune to those annoyances.
Although the DRB appealed the ruling, saying its ads were really aimed at promoting DAB's noise immunity, the ASA stood by their decision, noting that digital signal dropouts can occur within the coverage contours of DAB multiplexes, particularly in built-up urban areas.

I agree with you about the new partner...not much chemistry there, I think Eames worked SO much better with Goren & she's really tough! I like her a lot. I'm hoping the new detective is just a stand in until Kathryn has her baby.
|Sat, 11-22-2003 - 5:50pm
I am such a Law and Order addict. I even watch the shows on TNT and USA. Devin just sighs and gets a book. From my understanding, the red head is a temporary replacement until Eames comes back.
Any thoughts on the new ADA on SVU? I don't like her. They have been dressing her awful and her character doesn't seem appealing. Of course, I adored Alex so I probably wouldn't have liked any replacement.
|Sun, 11-23-2003 - 10:45am
I KNOW...Alex really grew on me, and I was so angry when they "killed her off" - DH & I just sat dumbfounded watching that episode. I think they HAD to "bring her back from the dead" at the end there just so they didn't get piles of hate mail from fans! ;)
Hmmm...the new ADA. She seems almost an air head, I can't put my finger on why I don't like her as much as Alex. I like her more now than in her premier episode, but I loved the chemistry between Alex & Olivia. And of course, Alex always looked beautiful!
I thought the cast of SVU was the most solid & believable, its my favorite incarnation of L&O.
But, I love L&O so much, I'll give Casey more time... ;)

Michael Moore Dares to Ask: What's So Heroic About Being Shot Down While Bombing Innocent Civilians?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This post originally appeared in PEEK's blog.
Confession: I have not yet read all six (short, illustrated, large type) chapters of Mike's Election Guide 2008 , Michael Moore's, latest work of jaunty political opinion. Am I supposed to discuss it with him on "Meet the Bloggers" tomorrow? Yes. But I'm not worried. It's a breezy read, has already made me laugh out loud, and besides, I may have already found the best part in Chapter One.
The title is "Ask Mike!" and, in it, ordinary voters, old and young, pose questions about politics and current events. Some are more serious than others ("If Iran has weapons of mass destruction, we should invade, right?"), which does not make Moore's answers any more subtle. ("Excuuuuuse me? Did you say the words, 'weapons of mass destruction?' Take it back. I SAID TAKE IT BACK!") Of course, the "questions" are really satirical jabs at the media -- "When a Republican wears a little American flag lapel pin, what is he trying to say?" "If Obama can't bowl, can he govern?" -- but there's one in particular that is worth paying attention to -- especially if you happen to be a member of the press and have been utterly unwilling to take McCain's supporters and opponents alike to task for perpetuating a narrative that would be central to a McCain victory, and which has already become a dominant theme in this election: The McCain as War Hero canard.
The "question" is posted thusly:
"Why did the Vietnamese shoot down John McCain and put him in prison for five years? He seems like such a nice guy."
ANSWER: I'm guessing, in spite of his anger management issues, he is a nice guy. He has devoted his life to this country. He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation. And for that, he was tortured and then imprisoned in a North Vietnamese POW camp for nearly five-and-a-half years.
That's the set-up. It gets better. Moore proceeds, not to question, as Wesley Clark recently did to so many shrieks of criticism, whether McCain's capture really makes him qualified to be president of the United States -- the answer, any thinking person realizes, is "no" -- but whether the Vietnam war was a conflict that can really be said to have produced the breed of "American hero" McCain is so often celebrated as.

The internet has created millions of false reporters – people who write as if they're journalists reporting facts, who spreading information as if it's actual news. Whether or not the information is true is irrelevant, because most people these days are too stupid to further Google the news in question to find out if it's true or not. They just sorta go with it, then link it on Twitter and/or Facebook and the little monster lives on fact without question. I have no idea if the originators are purposely lying when writing or are too stupid to understand what they're writing about. Most of the time I actually have to hope that they're just manipulative liars because it's otherwise too sad to believe that people are really that dumb in America. Either way they end up looking like assholes.
This short interview between George Stephanopoulos and Michele Bachmann took place today. He first points out a few dumbass things she said in the past, which she had trouble denying, then says, and I quote: "I think one of the most impressive things that many people find in your background is the fact that you and your husband have helped raise 23 foster children, and I know you want to shield them, but are they prepared, and are you prepared for the loss of privacy that comes with a presidential campaign, and is that something you're concerned about for them?" This lone statement got psycho-conservative-translated into "George Stephanopoulos threatens Michele Bachmann that the media will investigate all 23 of her foster children". What the fuck? You don't even have to view the interview. Just read his one sentence! Threaten? Investigate? Where are they getting this? It makes no sense!
Now I suppose they could just be reading a headline, without actually reading the "offending" statement or watching the video, but what about the bloggers themselves? Surely they are paying attention to what they're publishing. All these right-wing blogs are not just a bunch of copy and paste bullshit jobs from Fox Nation, where I believe this idiocy originated, right? Or are they? If Fox Nation was the root of this nonsense, were they really thinking George Stephanopoulos was praising her background with foster children, but then instantly turned and threatened her with investigation seconds later? Is the person who wrote that really so stupid to not understand wording or something? Is English a second language to him or her? Since there's no logical reason to come to this conclusion one has to assume there's some sort of malice behind the wild claim that ol' George threatened Michele with this mass media investigation of foster kids. Was it because he pointed out her embarrassing and obvious mistruths earlier in the interview, that they felt, "Well, she did fuck up there, so we can't talk about that, but we have nail George on something… let's claim he's gonna screw with the children somehow."? Ridiculous.
Humorously, all of the conservative blogs that posted this story about George's Nazi-like oppression of Michele's foster children included the video and the offending statement transcribed for their readers. Then people would comment on the content and complain about the horrific treatment Michele received at the hands of George the child killer. So these people are not the bloggers themselves. They're just innocent readers… with the video and statement staring them in the face, yet still they feel he threatened her with media investigation of all 23 of her foster children. So this is my conclusion, but nothing is 100% of course. Most of the bloggers are knowingly lying to fit a pro-Michele political agenda, and all sides are guilty of this type of thing, not just the right-wing, but the readers are the different story. Most of the readers are either really unintelligent or pretending to be unintelligent, which is in turn an unintelligent thing to do, unless the unappealing behavior is getting you out of a dangerous situation and you want to live (no one wants to harm the town know-nothing because of his sweet innocence). I just don't understand. In this specific case, George versus Michele, I don't understand how anyone could misunderstand his statement. It just doesn't make sense.
It's fine to post victim news stories. I mean obviously everyone loves stories about bullies and the bullied, but one thing is always required in the stories – the stories must be true! This idiotic, totally fabricated bullshit story spread all over the net is completely false, and what annoys me is that most of the people that believe it will never realize it's not true. What annoys me even more is that even if they did read this post or heard a lengthy explanation of how and why Stephanopoulos did not threaten Bachmann, they'd find a way to claim he actually did.
George Stephanopoulos Thinks Michele Bachmann's Foster Children are Shady & Worthy of Investigation… (It's the Title so it Must be True)
The internet has created millions of false reporters – people who write as if they're journalists reporting facts, who spreading information as if it's actual news. Whether or not the information is true is irrelevant, because most people these days are too stupid to further Google the news in question to find out if it's true or not.

Oh my god, I don't know what's going on with me, but I've become obsessed with the HBO documentary "Bobby Fischer Against the World" that was released two weeks ago. I've already watched it multiple times, and have since watched more footage of Bobby Fischer online and have read quite a bit. Well I guess I haven't just become obsessed with the documentary, but just Bobby Fischer in general. I knew about the big match against Russia, and I knew he'd gone missing, and I even knew about all his anti-Semitic rants, but I had no idea just how crazy the whole story was. His life story is truly insane but also truly remarkable. It's sad, but like… fucked up sad. You end up both liking Bobby and hating Bobby.
First let me say, this is an excellent documentary, and I love me some documentaries. It does a great job of covering his childhood. There's quite a bit of footage from his youth and his few family members. We learn of the confusion with his father. Apparently the man he thought was his father, who was also a man he'd never met, ends up not being his real father. This mysterious man is not Jewish, but his mother is. He's well-aware of this and considers himself half-Jewish. So he spends time with a man who takes him out occasionally, who reprimands him and worries about him like a father. Then this guy, Paul Nemenyi, suddenly stops coming by. Bobby asks his mother what happened to Paul. His crazy-ass mother tells him that Paul died, and oh by the way, "He was your real father." What the fuck?! What kinda crazy-ass mindfuck is that to do your kid?! Anyway, Nemenyi is Jewish. Bobby is now aware that he is 100% Jewish. For him to later become an anti-Semetic nut shouting about Jewish conspiracies is extra, extra crazy. Okay, I got off on a family tangent there. My point is that as a documentary alone, it's a very good one.
The one complaint I have is that they did not cover his very obvious mental illness. He was not just a cranky, bigoted chess genius. I mean, there was clearly something wrong with the man. Those interviewed, mostly his friends and other chessmasters, mostly chalk it up to a loss of childhood. The Michael Jackson excuse? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm done with the bad childhood or no childhood thing. That does not create the level of paranoia Fischer was experiencing. Before he famously disappeared for twenty years he thought the Russians were after him, was scared of radiation coming through TVs, and thought he could be spied on through his teeth fillings. Fischer wasn't germaphobic like Howard Hughes, but like Hughes, Fischer's real father, Paul Nemenyi, supposedly carried around a bar of soap in his pocket and would wash his hands after touching door knobs or whatever. So some type of mental disorder may have a had a genetic component (?). None of this was covered in this documentary, and I almost think the mental factor should be its own separate movie!
His mother was a Communist and had a very thick FBI file. She had a valid reason to be paranoid because she was actually being watched by the government. So this real paranoia he had as a child mixed with whatever mental illness as an adult is not good. He seemed to be seeking for meaning in life, but from what I can tell he was very susceptible to cults or cult-like thinking, such as conspiratorial ideas. It's the whole they're-out-to-get-you bullshit, which I cannot stand. Oh my god, that shit pisses me off. So he starts reading up on the fucking illuminati and the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and the White Man's Bible. Yeah, so for someone who appears to be gullible, this idiocy is not the best reading for a happy and fulfilling life. What's funny is that many of these new world order, anti-jewish assholes online use Bobby Fischer as some sort of authority figure for their bullshit movement. They quote him and put up videos of him ranting like a lunatic. They're basically trying to say, "See, even a genius like Bobby Fischer agrees with us!" They fail to realize Fischer is mentally ill. Dumbasses.
Anyway, the random online message board consensus is Bobby had Asperger's syndrome. Paranoia can be a symptom, but it isn't known to be especially extreme like this. This gullibility that Bobby very obviously had, to believe in such outlandish conspiracies, can also be part of Asperger's, but I'm quite intrigued by his drive to seek them out. That seems very different. He willingly looked for books on Jewish and government conspiracies. As he got older his paranoia seemed to alter from fear to obsession. While maintaining his skill at chess, it seemed like his only other focuses were absurd Jewish conspiracies and anti-U.S. sentiments. This is all he wanted to talk about.
Coincidentally, and almost funny, two things happened to Fischer that would only further his craziness. So, he's already this big anti-government guy, thinks there's a conspiracy around every corner, etc. In 1981 he was arrested in Pasadena for a bank robbery he didn't commit, and was kept in jail for two days. He then writes this diatribe about the ordeal claiming he was tortured there, and even titles the piece I Was Tortured in the Pasadena Jailhouse! Then, after 20 years hiding from fame, he re-emerged in 1992 and played a game against his old Russian rival in Yugoslavia. The problem is that all hell was breaking loose and there was a U.N. embargo, with sanctions on sports, and apparently chess is a sport for some strange reason. As a U.S. citizen he wasn't allowed to play there, but naturally, he played anyway, and was charged by the federal government. He faced up to 10 years in prison, and would lose all the money from the game, which he of course won. He obviously didn't go back to America and became an expatriate. So my point is that he's this crazed government-is-out-to-get-you guy and then he's mistakenly arrested and kicked out of the country. Those are some crazy coincidences!
Anyway, I'm annoyed that no one ever took on Bobby Fischer as some sort of case study, to at least know what the hell was going on there. Then I'm further annoyed that no one drugged his drinks or food with anti-psychotic medication, or whatever medication that may have helped him. Haha, okay, that may be going a little too far, but you see what I mean. The man was a genius with so much potential! Someone should have done something to help him avoid this paranoid, conspiratorial, hateful thinking so he could've kept up the chess-fame thing or gone onto something productive back in the day. That is, if anything was possible. Clearly there was something wrong with him that medication may not have been able to remedy, but at the very least someone should've tried to control his reading habits, influenced him in positive ways, kept him socialized, etc. I just feel like everyone gave up on him too easily, which of course was actually very easy, because Bobby had brainwashed himself into such a hateful, nasty person. Why would anyone want to help him? I understand why they gave up, and I would have too; I just wish they hadn't.
The bulk of Fischer's fame was throughout his 20s. He was attractive, white, and always reasonably dressed. In his 1972 World Championship match the chess enemy to beat was Russian (but of course in those days they were always Russian). The fact that it was an American fighting a Russian for a world title during the Cold War was perfect timing! It's amazing how all the pieces were in place for something as unexpected as chess to take over pop culture, ya know? What if he'd been overweight, prematurely balding, and wore highly unappealing thick glasses? No one would've cared, right? Well, maybe like a few hundred thousand Americans would've cared, but I highly doubt it would've reached the level of media coverage it got at the time. From the interviews I've seen, hosts weren't appreciating his chess talent, but were more focused on his personality as if he was just any ol' celebrity. His all-American handsomeness led the fame; with his genius skill being secondary and definitely under-appreciated by those creating that fame. It's highly doubtful a chess match will ever be aired in Times Square again… unless another chess-hottie with good style comes along and the opponent is a member of Al-Qaeda.

O kay, everyone knows what happened with Anthony Weiner and the picture and Twitter, and the whole thing. I just want to sort of analyze why he's acting like such a weirdo. At this point everyone has assumed that the underwear pic is him because he won't simply respond "No" to the question "Is that your picture?" I should first point out that I have not read every single fucking article, nor have I painstakingly watched every single fucking interview over and over like I'm trying to write a scientific journal on this nonsense, so this is just me bullshitting on a bullshit topic. I have, however, come to the conclusion that he was hacked, leaving the only mystery to be the identity of the penis owner.
The source of the crotch shot… at least the source for it to be known on Twitter was @patriotusa76, a.k.a. Dan Wolfe. As the story goes, this was then noticed by Breitbart, or maybe someone else saw it and then forwarded it to him, considering it to be right up his alley. Breitbart then freaks the fuck out of course. He does no checking whatsoever, no research, no validation, no nothing etc., and just goes public with the story. What I find most remarkable is that he doesn't seem to go to any trouble to really identify and legitimize Dan Wolfe before potentially embarrassing himself and his organization, but I digress. So, now everyone freaks out. Then the next few days we see Weiner answering various reporters' questions like a guy with a massive database of crotch pictures. In the middle of all this everyone is trying to get in touch with the guy who started this mess, "patriot" Dan Wolfe, and then he starts to freak the fuck out. We learn ol' Wolfie is having crazy relationship problems! – There's something about an ex-girlfriend with mental problems and oh my god his wife is suing for custody of the children and everything he owns. He won't even talk to anyone on the phone. Interestingly the ex-wife and ex-girlfriend are in cahoots and he's terrified they are going to record him and use it against him. If any of this insanity is true, why is he playing on Twitter obsessing over Congressman Weiner? I mean, where are your priorities moron?
Okay, nevermind what happened, or even the hacking, and how stupid this whole thing is. I want to know why Anthony Weiner is acting like a freak in interviews! His picture or not his picture, most people in his position would likely just deny it's their picture, but for some reason it's as if he's allowing the story to linger. It's almost as if he wants it to remain relevant. If he doesn't confirm or deny, and instead give curious answers, it leaves something to talk about on news programs and various talk shows, right? That's one possibility, I suppose, but who the hell knows if it's right, or even why. Surely there's more to it than just a desire to be the center of attention.
One odd thing I've noticed is that when referring to this story, in most cases, they've referenced Breitbart as the source of the story. Some reporters, hosts, etc. have criticized Breitbart when introducing the story, while others just make a note of it, but at the very least they point out how the information was released to the public. I mean none of this would have gone so massively widespread in the media had it not been for Breitbart's Big Government site. In practically every instance of discussing this "incident", at least early on, the name "Breitbart" was mentioned repeatedly. Okay, getting to my point, for some peculiar reason, in the press conference and multiple interviews with Anthony Weiner he never mentions the name Andrew Breitbart. Furthermore, those asking the questions don't mention Breitbart either! Isn't that strange? I'll remind you I have not seen or read every little thing like I stated earlier. I am not obsessed with this story or anything, so I could totally be mistaken, but from what I've gathered, everyone has mentioned Breitbart in regards to this mess, except Weiner, and those speaking to him publicly. It's as if he's told interviewers, "I'll speak with you, but do not ask me any questions about Andrew Breitbart". If that's the case, that's certainly noteworthy, right? Is he attempting to keep the story relevant long enough while he secretly plans some elaborate attack on Breitbart and the mysterious Dan Wolfe? – Sort of like a you-think-you-got-me-but-you're-the-one-that's-screwed type of deal? Perhaps I've seen too many movies.
I just don't understand the logic of furthering an appearance of guilt, unless, unlike most human beings, he's so honest that he actually has a problem with lying. Haha. I feel like there has to be some reasonable motive behind his weird behavior. Everyone assumes his lack of denial automatically means the photograph is his, but if it was or wasn't, most people would just say "no" and try to forget this ever happened. I believe he consciously making this linger for some reason, and it's really fucking strange! Think of every single political sex scandal. Hell, think of every celebrity sex scandal. At first they always deny, then they run away and hide, and after a little while they finally admit fault. This is one of those extremely rare situations where the accused answers with, "I don't know". Why would anyone automatically assume guilt in a case like that?! It goes completely against the norm. It's goes against everything we've been taught from high profile sex scandals enjoyed in the past!
As far as the actual hacking part of it goes, which is definitely what happened, Rachel Maddow covered it best. I was quite annoyed that no one addressed this part of the situation as well as she did. I guess sneaky computer stuff isn't quite as salacious as penis talk and pondering over relations with "young girls", but I found all of this quite fascinating:

Does anyone run with Tarsal tunnel? I went to the Cleveland Clinic and saw a doctor that is suppose to be one of the best in the field. He said if he does surgery it would be a 50/50 shot which isn't good enough to perform surgery. He also said if anyone else does the surgery not to come to him because he can't repair their mistake. So I guess I'm stuck with it. I seem to be stuck with it. I have some plantar fasciitis and a high arch. Of course he said I shouldn't run at all. I really miss it though! If you run with tarsal tunnel how do you deal with the heel pain? Is there anything I can do to help it...like taping or anything? I really need help with this...I want to run!!! after I run it seems that I can't walk on my heel for the rest of the evening it hurts so bad.
There are a lot of conservative options. Surgery should be way way way, down the list. All tarsal tunnel is is nerve compression. Find a PT or sports chiro, they should know how to treat it.
Megan Zetter, Portland, OR.
Thank you! I'm going to look into a chiropractor. I have had this pain for about 9 months now. It is getting slightly better but I haven't been running. I'm thinking about trying 2 miles and seeing how it goes...just not sure if it's a good idea yet...but I really want to!!!
I had that... The pain in my heel made me want to cry ESP. At night until it finally went numb. The podiatrist gave me a cortisone shot that felt like a branding iron on the bottom of my foot but apparently she got the right spot as it went away and hasn't returned in a few years.
I haven't had much change. I have tried pretty much everything and the only thing that has helped so far is my shoes. I switched to Hoka One One's they have a lot of cushion and the pain isn't as bad after I run. Meaning I can actually walk, with pain, after I run. Before the shoes I really couldn't walk much after a run because it hurt too bad. I can only run 3-4 days a week and not high milage. I did manage to get a half marathon in last year though. It was slow but I really didn't care. Just wanted to run. I wish you luck! This can be very depressing. I've had my moments for sure! I've learned that I am going to have pain every day no matter what I do so I might as well enjoy running! If you find anything that works would you PLEASE let me know!!! I'll try anything to get rid of this. Actually thinking about trying acupuncture. I'm sure there are more of us but they think they have a bad case of Plantar Fasciitis.
I just posted a reply to this same issue in the post :
Hi... Freshstar07
My name is Daniel. I have a problem with my right ankle.
9 months with pain.
MRI Tibial Posterior Tendonitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome
Now I have numbness in my medial maleolus,
I cant walk too much because of the numbness
I try everything, Im sad.
How do you deal whit it?
Hi Daniel,
Sorry I'm just getting back with you. Tarsal Tunnel is something I deal with every day of my life! There are good days when the pain is not so bad and other days that it Kills! I guess it becomes "normal" in a way. I get depressed and look at people who hate to exercise and run and say "why do I have to be like this? I want to do more and can't...they can and won't!" It's rough, but I keep reading and trying different things hoping I will find that one thing that helps! I have had some major luck with my new running shoes, Hoka one one's. I couldn't run or walk without dealing with major pain. Now with these shoes I can actually walk after a run. It hurts, but I can do it! Hang in there Daniel, someday they will find a solution to our pain!
whoa whoa whoa --- hold on. stop. for real. okay, great.
i've had really terrible stabbing pain on and off since 2011.
i had seen doctors in LA, but saw a great doc today; director at a university in philly. he spent about two hours with me (here's a tip: find great doctors and see them on days they have classes). he brought in some other doctors, etc.
it was suggested that it might be "double crush" in relation to tarsel tunnel. getting some tests done next week.
i've been on nerve medication, anti-inflammatories, and holistic stuff like acupuncture, etc. they don't want to jump the gun but...
has anyone considered nerve release or had it done? please say it was awesome and simple and recovery was 6 hours.
I am 15 days into recovery from TT release surgery. They just took out my stitches today and I am allowed to start trying to bear weight.
My incision is huge compared to some pictures online.... But normal compared to others. I can tell something is still going on with the nerve (hopefully healing) because I am still getting random sensations.
I haven't jogged since March. I went through several antiinflammatory meds. And did a nerve block before progressing into surgery.
I am praying that I get to jog again by Christmas.

Then there is the Jim henson/star wars shelf. Once I get another shelf cleared I'll be moving all my Misc. Disney VHS tapes over to it like 90s cartoon shows that have never gotten a DVD release, Dtv, Sing a long tapes. Muppet Babies is going to stay hanging out with the other muppet movies. I recently picked up some at a thrift store. Including one I had growing up that at some point I had donated. Then I decided I wanted to see some of the show again as an adult and here we are now I'm up to 4 VHS of the show. I have several VHS tapes of the Aladdin cartoon, Ariel, Hercules, Marsupilami, and Timon & Pumba. All shows I grew up with as a kid that probably won't ever get a proper DVD release. Though I'm not sure how well they'd sell since the shows aren't always that great.
Today is 3/18 so all Disney fans should know Frozen is out today! I ended up getting my pre-order a day early in the mail :D

|Titans hope CB can fill major hole with Jones' suspension
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 29 May 2007 22:56
That play turned a Titans' fourth-quarter lead into a 31-17 loss to division rival Indianapolis. It led to a 5-11 season and the end of an era where Tennessee had been among the AFC's best.
Now three years later, Harper finds himself on the Titans' roster after the Colts allowed the veteran who helped them finally win the Super Bowl to leave as a free agent.
``We're going to have to overlook that part,'' Harper said of his past role as Titans' spoiler. ``That was down the road when I played for another team. Now I want to go out and make the same plays and make them for our team.''
The Titans are leaning heavily on the six-year veteran to anchor a secondary staggered by the loss of cornerback Adam ``Pacman'' Jones to a season-long suspension from the NFL for conduct detrimental to the league.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher doesn't sound worried that Harper played mostly zone in Indy's Cover 2 scheme.
``He's always been a guy that seems like he made a play against us at the right time in the game, so it's nice to have him obviously playing on our side now,'' Fisher said.
``He has excellent quickness, and he understands the game well. He sees things and he's been well coached in their scheme, but he's not one dimensional. They didn't do an awful lot on defense, yet he's capable of doing the things that we ask of him.''
Tennessee has five-year veteran Chris Hope, who won a Super Bowl ring himself in Pittsburgh. Another five-year veteran, safety Lamont Thompson, will be competing with Calvin Lowry, last year's fourth-round pick.
The Titans drafted Michael Griffin of Texas at No. 19 overall in April and are trying to convert the safety to cornerback. Reynaldo Hill, a seventh-round pick in 2005, has started 24 of 30 games at cornerback and is healthy again after playing with torn knee cartilage and ligaments last season.
The Colts let Harper leave as a free agent even though he tied the team record of three interceptions, ranked sixth with 73 tackles and started 15 games at left cornerback. The Titans signed him to a three-year deal in March.
``Them going out and getting me shows that they're dedicated to winning and bringing in guys that know how to win,'' Harper said. ``I'm hoping to go out and be a leader on the field and off the field and get the guys to buy into the defense.''
Hope sees Harper as a veteran who will help the young defensive backs learn how to study film more effectively, prepare physically and take care of their bodies.
``Those guys haven't had a proven veteran corner to teach them,'' Hope said.
Linebacker David Thornton played with Harper in Indy before signing with the Titans as a free agent last year. He thinks the addition could be a big move with Harper's understanding of the passing game.
``He's a proven winner. He's a champion. He's coming off a Super Bowl team,'' Thornton said.
Some teammates have had a hard time looking at Harper and believing he's really 32 years old. Harper's happy to share some of his secrets.
``It's easy. You've just got to get plenty of rest, stay out of the streets, just rest. Rest is the key. Your recuperation time is key,'' he said.
