New findings on risk of autism in siblings – What do they mean for parents?
A message from Autism Speaks Chief Science Officer Geri Dawson, PhD
Parents of a child with autism are understandably concerned about the likelihood that their subsequent children will be affected. Autism Speaks and its legacy organization, the National Alliance for Autism Research, have been funding research on younger siblings for nearly 15 years– to help us better understand their development.
In 2003, we began organizing and co-funding a very special collaboration—the High Risk Baby Siblings Research Consortium—in partnership with Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health Development.
This week, we announced the results of the consortium's largest ever siblings study. The researchers followed younger brothers and sisters from infancy through the preschool period, when autism diagnosis becomes possible. The study revealed a markedly higher risk among younger siblings than had been previously reported.
As the autism community absorbs the news, let me give you some background on the quality and importance of this research—and what it means for parents.
Our "Baby Sibs" researchers are an international network of clinical researchers who have been pooling information from studies of affected families in 21 sites in the US, Canada, Israel and the UK. Alycia Halladay, Autism Speaks director of research for environmental sciences, and Andy Shih, vice president of scientific affairs, have led the consortium from the start and continue to coordinate its activities.
In the study making headlines this week, the consortium researchers assessed 664 infants. Each had at least one older sibling diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They found that 1 in 5 babies with an older sibling on the spectrum will likewise be affected—more than double previous estimates. The rate was higher among younger brothers—1 in 4, versus 1 in 9 for younger sisters. And autism affected nearly 1 in 3 infants with more than one older sibling on the spectrum. (Previous estimates came out of much smaller and sometimes less reliably conducted studies.)
So what does this mean for parents?
If you have an older child on the spectrum and you are concerned about your infant, talk to your pediatrician about your baby's risk and your desire for close monitoring. And if you have any concerns about your child's development, don't wait. Speak with your doctor about screening.
Here are links to a number of helpful resources:
* Recent research funded by Autism Speaks shows that a one-page baby-toddler checklist can be used effectively as early as 12 months as an initial screen for autism and other developmental disorders. The screener is available here.
* The American Academy of Pediatrics has long recommended that all children be screened for autism at their 18 month well baby checkups, using the M-CHAT toddler screener, available here.
* As a parent or caregiver, one of the most important things you can do is learn the early signs of autism and understand the developmental milestones your child should be reaching. You can see the Learn the Signs guidelines on our website, here.
* Finally, families with one or more children on the spectrum can contact their nearest "Baby Sibs" consortium researcher if they would like to participate in this important research. The list is on our website, here.
By monitoring your infant closely and promptly beginning intervention if signs of autism appear, you can ensure that your child will have the best possible outcome.

'Meta-analysis' Clarifies Birth Conditions Associated with Autism
Posted by Alycia Halladay, PhD, director of research for environmental science, Autism Speaks
For over four decades, autism researchers have been combing through birth records to look for events that might increase the risk that a newborn goes on to develop an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many clues have emerged regarding the influence of such factors as prematurity, low birth weight, method of delivery, or even the season in which conception or delivery occurs. But no one study was large enough to provide definitive answers, and inconsistent results between studies have caused confusion among scientists as well as parents trying to follow the science.
Today, the respected journal Pediatrics publishes a study that goes far in cutting through the confusion. Researchers from Harvard and Brown universities reviewed and analyzed the combined results of 40 studies that looked at potential autism risk factors during the birth (perinatal) and newborn (neonatal) period.
Such a "meta-analysis" study is a powerful tool in science, as it allows researchers to combine and compare findings from different sources to get a clearer, more reliable picture of the associations between potential risks and conditions such as autism. Importantly, the study confirmed an association between autism and such conditions as abnormal fetal presentation during delivery (for example, breech), fetal respiratory distress (breathing difficulties), birth injury or trauma, low 5-minute APGAR score (a 1-10 score for assessing newborn health after delivery), newborn seizures, low birth weight, multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.), anemia (low blood iron, and being born in the summer.
Of note, preterm birth was not found to be associated with ASD, of particular interest because there had been considerable differences on this count across earlier studies. Most importantly, perhaps, the researchers concluded that the evidence did not implicate any one perinatal or neonatal factor as causing autism by itself. Rather, the evidence suggests that a combination of these factors—reflecting generally poor conditions during and immediately after birth–may increase the risk that a child with an underlying genetic disposition will develop autism.
One common thread across several of these risk factors is that they result in a lack of adequate blood flow to the brain during the birth process. One hypothesis is that, when combined with a genetic predisposition, oxygen deprivation to the brain worsens abnormal brain development. Studying these and other environmental (versus genetic) risk factors for autism is important to increase our understanding of the biology of ASD and to provide practical guidance for physicians and parents on how to avoid or modify those risk factors that can be changed.
In addition, this meta-analysis strongly suggests that pediatricians and parents should closely monitor the development of babies born in difficult situations so that early intervention can be offered should developmental issues such as autism arise. What this study does not say is that difficult birth means a baby will go on to develop autism. Rather, these conditions and complications may increase the risk of autism among those who have a genetic predisposition for developing it.
As in my last post, I want to invite readers to explore the many environmental risk studies that Autism Speaks is supporting with donor dollars, scientific resources, and the participation of autism families in clinical studies. Please see our Grants Search and Participate gateways at www.autismspeaks.org. Thanks for being a vital part of our mission to improve the lives of all who struggle with autism.

Twin Study Suggests Environmental Role in Autism: Now What?
Posted by Alycia Halladay, PhD, director of research for environmental science, Autism Speaks
As reported last week, a large twin study supported by Autism Speaks compared the frequency with which identical and fraternal twins both share a diagnosis of autism. This approach enabled the investigators to use statistical techniques to calculate the degree to which environmental factors shared by twins contribute to their risk of developing autism. Such factors include conditions in the womb and during birth.
The results of the California Autism Twin study were game-changing because they revealed a much larger environmental influence than had previously been estimated—accounting for about 58% of the risk of developing autism. By contrast, much smaller twin studies had previously suggested that genes largely accounted for a child's risk of autism.
The results underscore the need to investigate the role that non-inherited risk factors play in the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). So what's being done to help speed this research? And what role are Autism Speaks and its donor dollars playing in this effort?
Autism Speaks has funded over $21 million in the study of environmental risk factors, an initiative we call (obviously enough) the Environmental Factors of Autism Initiative. Already, we have a large body of evidence suggesting that it is not any one environmental factor, but many different factors working together, that elevate the risk and severity of autism in individuals with a genetic predisposition for this condition. In other words, autism is seldom caused by any one thing and neither is it an "all or nothing" condition. Furthermore, different combinations of genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to individual cases of autism.
Within the Environmental Factors of Autism Initiative are ongoing studies focusing on environmental exposures that occur before and during pregnancy and throughout the first year of life—crucial periods for human brain development. These studies look at such possible risk factors as maternal and paternal age, socioeconomic status, season of birth, exposure to chemicals or toxic agents, nutrition and exposure to various pharmaceutical drugs during pregnancy, the difficulty of labor and delivery, and various other forms of prenatal stress. The researchers we support are also investigating the mechanisms by which genes and the environment may interact (so-called epigenetics) and the role of the immune system. We are also supporting large scale epidemiological studies that focus on pregnancy and the first year of life. These include the EARLI study and the IBIS study.
Are you interested in learning more about the studies Autism Speaks is funding with donor dollars? We are proud to debut the new Grant Search function on our website. Please use it to explore past and present research studies by topic or location. And if you or your family is affected by autism, please consider participating in one of our clinical studies.
Epidemiology sheds new light on risk factors for ASD
by Alycia Halladay, Ph.D, Director of Environmental Science
Research using identical and fraternal twins is typically used to identify genetic influences on the development of ASD. This year, researchers studied a large group of twins and examined the concordance of different types of symptoms (1). Using this approach, the researchers found that the concordance of severe autism between identical twins and fraternal twins was about the same, indicating a strong environmental component to ASD severity. But what are those environmental factors? Epidemiological studies are providing clues.
At this year's IMFAR, new data was presented that focused on studying groups of people and their exposures to a number of environmental factors. Each used different designs with their own unique advantages. For example, at UC Davis, the CHARGE study (www.beincharge.ucdavis.edu) examined the risk of developing autism following exposure to a number of factors that were identified through self report or medical records. Those that showed an association were antidepressant SSRI use (2) and metabolic disorders including hypertension and diabetes (3). On the other hand, a previously identified factor, maternal infection, was not associated (4). Why not? The researchers suggested that fever, not infection per se, may be a factor. Using self-report and medical records obtained prior to study entry may not accurately capture all relevant information, and an infection or fever may be missed in some reports. However, other types of information, such as method of birth, is easier to gather accurately. An analysis revealed that non-emergency or elective c-section deliveries did not show a significant association with autism, addressing a concern that many public and community stakeholders have expressed (5).
As an alternative to retrospective reports, the Early Markers of Autism Study in California is obtaining samples of blood from pregnant women by obtaining extra blood taken during the alpha-fetal protein screen that is banked. Not all states bank these samples for research, so this is a unique resource. By examining the levels of mercury in blood taken during pregnancy together with newborn blood spots, the researchers can get a more comprehensive picture of the prenatal environment. They reported no difference in mercury levels compared to those of non-affected children during gestation, and also reported no difference in thyroid hormone levels (6,7). Examination of subgroups of autism with regression did not change the results. While these data are incredibly novel and valuable, these studies were not designed to capture information throughout the entire pregnancy nor capture factors after birth
Another way to study exposures during pregnancy is through birth certificate data. In some states, the birth certificate contains information such as the place of birth and the occupation of the mother and the father. Using this information, scientists found that occupational exposures in mothers to certain chemicals resulted in an increased risk of ASD in offspring (8).
While each approach brings unique strengths, all researchers agree that the most comprehensive way to capture all information accurately, is a prospective design. This means identifying children as soon as possible and following them from that point on to gather every piece of relevant information from medical reports to blood samples. Autism Speaks is proud to co-sponsor such a study: the Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI). This groundbreaking project will provide even more answers to what causes autism, and needs the help of the community to do so.
So how can researchers blend or expand their research if they are using only one type of design? Autism Speaks and the National Institutes for Environmental Health Sciences are sponsoring a network of projects called the Environmental Epidemiology of Autism Research Network (EEARN). The goal of this network is to improve communication among researchers in this field, identify opportunities for collaborative projects and improve research tools for both existing, and new projects. Over 20 studies from 8 countries are represented in the network. We will keep you updated on the activity of the network, and we hope you will keep checking in for updates.

Gene-Environment Interactions: Context Matters
This is a guest post by Alycia Halladay, Ph.D. and Leanne Chukoskie, Ph.D. Dr. Halladay is Autism Speaks' Director, Research for Enivronmental Services. Leanne earned her Ph.D. at NYU's Center for Neural Science studying the neural mechanisms that mediate vision during eye movements. During her postdoctoral training at the Salk Institute she studied search behavior in both humans and animals. A family connection as well as the curious manner in which people with autism tend to scan a visual scene led her to work for Autism Speaks as the Assistant Director of Science Communication and Special Projects. Leanne also continues her research as a Project Scientist at UCSD.
How Do Your Genes "Interact" with the Environment?
This is a guest post by Alycia Halladay, Ph.D. Dr. Halladay is Autism Speaks' Director, Research for Enivronmental Services.
Instead of focusing on just genetics or just environmental factors, autism researchers have been studying gene-environment interactions as possible risk factors of the disorder. A next series of posts will begin to try and explain why this is an important concept, and how it is changing the way scientists think about causes.
Why is this concept important?
First, in the context of risk factors, if only the separate contributions of genetics and environmental influences is calculated without considering the interaction, the proportion of the disorder that is attributable to both is underestimated. For example, environmental factors may play an important role in the development of some diseases. However, in others, the effect is only seen in susceptible individuals. Studies that examine gene-environment interactions can do the following (taken from Hunter, 2005)
- Obtain a better estimate of the risk associated with genetic and environmental risk factors
- Strengthen the association between environmental risk factors and disease
- Help researchers understand the biological mechanism of disease
- Determine which environmental factors produce risk
- Lead to new prevention and therapeutic strategies
What does it mean?
As most people know, genetics typically refers to the stable sequence of nucleotides on DNA strands in every cell of the human body. The nucleotides are translated to amino acids, which in turn create proteins. The amino acid sequence determines how proteins are configured, which may affect their function. Put in an oversimplistic fashion, these proteins are what affect cell function. Some of the genetic code is inherited from both parents, and will be conferred to their children; another, more recently studied type of genetics, called epigenetics, refers to a change in protein synthesis that is not due to alterations in the DNA code. In other words, the DNA code stays the same but the way it is expressed changes. These concepts will also be discussed in a later chapter. With regards to the term "environment", this is a term that can refer to many "non-genetic" influences on biology and behavior. Typically when they hear "environment" people think of one of the hundreds of thousands of potential chemicals and toxins that are present in food, air and water. However, environment can also include some demographic characteristics like socioeconomic status, nutritional status and education, as well as medical procedures and illnesses, and exposure to vitamins, pharmaceuticals and/or alternative medicines. It can even refer to exposures that we may not be thinking about every day, like UV sunlight, cosmetics, food additives, and ventilation in the home. While most people think of gene-environment interactions as an environmental risk factor producing more profound effects in a susceptible individuals, some genes may offer protection against deleterious environmental effects. Other genes may promote healthy development and their effects stifled, or even enhanced, in different environments. These concepts will be explored further in a different chapter.
How are these interactions determined and studied?
The best way to determine whether an interaction exists in a human population is an epidemiologic study. One of the biggest challenges is the need for large samples, or many individuals to enroll and participate. Typically, self-report measures are obtained from all participants and family members, and DNA and other biologicals are included to study DNA/RNA and level of exposure. If other measures are available such as medical records, these are also collected throughout the study. Genetic and environmental factors, and their interaction, can be studied retrospectively (after the disease has developed) or prospectively (prior to when the disease appears). Each design has strengths and weaknesses, and in many cases both approaches are taken to identify and then replicate findings. Other study designs include case-control vs. case-case. Case-control refers to studying both individuals with and without the disease. Case-case refers to studying cases (in this case individuals with autism only) both with and without different exposure levels and/or genotypes.
A New Way to Look at Autism: The National Children's Study
This is a guest post by Alycia Halladay, Ph.D. Dr. Halladay is Autism Speaks' Director, Research for Enivronmental Services.
The NCS, or National Children's Study, was authorized by Congress in 2000 as part of the Children's Health Act. This study, unprecendented in size and scope in the United States, will seek to recruit hundreds of thousands of pregnant women to ultimately enroll and follow 100,000 children from gestation through adulthood. During the course of the study, parents and children will be studied carefully, with measures of behavioral, psychosocial and medical development tracked. This includes autism and autism spectrum disorders. Recent prevalence estimates suggest that around 1,000 children born to mothers enrolled in the study will develop ASD.
The overarching goal of the study is to examine how genetic and environmental factors affect child health and development. In addition to screening for autism spectrum disorders at 18 and 24 months, the current study protocol will collect multiple measures of genetic factors and environmental exposures, including specimens from mother, father and child at multiple times during development and adolescence, examination of environmental exposures, as well as medical information and medical events. The term environment is used broadly, and the study is very comprehensive in the frequency and specificity of examinations, as well as keeping in mind the magnitude and duration of a variety of exposures (medical, chemical, behavioral, psychosocial, demographic). Autism Speaks is currently working with the NCS to create a more developed and enhanced autism screening and diagnosis protocol, and identify solutions to clinical and ethical questions. This means that the NCS will be an instrumental tool for examining the relationship between genes and the environment and their relation to developmental disorders, including autism.
Because of the comprehensive nature of the study, families are expected to contribute a great deal. However, being enrolled in the NCS also provides an opportunity to contribute to a rich database of health information. This health information will be used to make policies on a statewide and federal level, identify possible intervention and treatment strategies for those enrolled, and provide participants with in depth evaluation and long-term follow up that they might not have received elsewhere. For the study to be successful, families should be willing to participate. Recruitment has already begun, and the study looks forward to talking to families who may be eligible to join – not just from those affected by autism, but those who are not affected. That means that your friends, family and neighbors could enroll even if you do not participate!!
Please learn more about the National Children's Study here and to find out if they are recruiting in your county, see a list of study sites and contact information here.

text: Mayor Dave Bing says a vote by the City Council to reinstate the city budget Council members approved will make Detroit less attractive and more dangerous. Bing vetoed Council's budget last week, which cut 50 million dollars more in funding than the Mayor had originally proposed. The majority of Council members say Bing's budget relies too heavily on "soft" money that might never materialize. But Bing says he shared documents with Council members outlining 30 million dollars in revenue to Detroit the Mayor says is firm funding and would have left only a 20 million dollar shortfall. Bing says there is little way around cutting that 20 million - or what it means for city workers. "We will start layoffs. We will send out notices next Monday. We have to start doing that. And if in fact they don't move – meaning the Council – and they want to stay at 50 million…then there are many more people that are gonna be laid off," Bing said. As he has throughout the budget process, the Mayor says Council's budget will force reductions in public safety. He says Council's assertion that budget cuts to the police force could be absorbed because there are already many vacancies is wrong, because the department is already too UNDER-staffed to adequately safeguard the city.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A Monroe man will spend nine plus years in prison on drug trafficking and firearm related charges.
Michael Pryor, 37, of Monroe, was sentenced Monday to 57 months in prison for one count of felon in possession of a firearm. He was also sentenced to an additional consecutive 60 months in prison for one count of possession of a firearm in relation to drug trafficking. He was also sentenced to five years of supervised release, and his firearm was forfeited.
He pleaded guilty October 28, 2013. According to evidence presented at the guilty plea, Monroe Police officers investigated reports of marijuana being sold at a home on Gordon Avenue. They visited the home, and while speaking to Pryor about the reports, they smelled marijuana and received his permission to search the home.
Police found a total of 33 grams of marijuana packaged for street sale, a loaded .22 caliber pistol, baggies, scales, and scissors, and three other firearms. Pryor had previously been convicted in Orleans Parish in 1997 on possession of cocaine and attempted possession of a firearm while in possession of controlled dangerous substances. He was also convicted in Orleans Parish in 2004 for possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

Name One App
I'm feeling a little sad these days.
For how great Android is, there are times like this in which I wish I had an iPhone just to try a few apps out.
I can manage to use an iPhone 4 at times and also have a "family" iPad at home, but since the 4 is not mine and I have a personal Nexus 7, I tend to leave the iPad to my mother who brings it with her every time she goes out - and I'm totally fine with it, since I couldn't stand with iOS or an iPhone as a daily driver for more than a few days.
But as I was saying, there are times like this in which I wish I had a side phone running iOS just to play a little with its awesome apps.
Yesterday was the turn of Storehouse. Then Paper for Facebook came out, and I started looking for iOS exclusive apps' bumping into the never-enough-mentioned Tweetbot, or the Fantastical calendar app. Oh, and Mailbox is awesome, too. The list could go on and on, you know it.
It's not that I need any of these apps, since Android does have a lot of great alternatives (and other beautiful and unique apps) - but as many people have stated over the years, the apps' stores (on any platform) are always flooded by tons of terrible apps, making it hard to find the golden ones in between.
So what I'm asking you here is exactly this. Share your opinion, and maybe make somebody happy, too.
If you were asked what is the exclusive Android app you couldn't live without, which one would you choose?
Tip: name a beautiful looking, slick app that not everybody knows, even though it's not exactly your favorite!
I will start off with Robird.
I use Twitter heavily on a daily basis, and though I like both Talon and Falcon Pro a lot this one is growing on me more than I thought lately. Also, v2.1 is soon to be pushed out in beta, and I can't wait to take advantage of the whole screen.

Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern
Postdoctoral Fellow, Environmental Studies
Van Meter 117-6
PhD, University of California, Berkeley, 2012, Geography
BA, Cornell University, 2004, Sustainable Agriculture and Development, College Scholar Program
Areas of Scholarly Expertise and Interest
In her research and teaching Dr. Minkoff-Zern broadly explores the interactions between food and racial justice, rural development, and transnational environmental and agricultural policy. This work builds on her extensive experience working on sustainable development and agricultural biodiversity projects abroad, combined with her work on migrant health issues domestically. She utilizes frameworks of political economy and ecology, environmental justice, feminist theory, and critical race theory.
Her dissertation investigated farmworker food insecurity in California, with a focus on indigenous immigrant gardeners and farmers from Oaxaca, Mexico. Her current research builds on her dissertation, where she found that a significant population of farmworkers and other first generation immigrants and refugees to the US aspire to be small-scale farmers. In this work, she explores immigrant and refugee farmers' role in agrarian change in the United States today.
She believes that the best courses are those that help students think broadly about social processes, while simultaneously providing them with the opportunity to engage theory with real life examples, including their own lived experiences. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes reflexive and participatory thinking and discussion, application of social theory to tangible illustrations, and a variety of methods that address diverse learning styles. Through the combination of these approaches, students have the opportunity to learn new ways to understand people's interactions with the environment, as they are influenced by power, social relations, and identity. Her teaching interests include Environmental Politics, Globalization and Social Change, Food and Agriculture, and Ethnographic and Participatory Research Methodologies.
In addition to her academic work in the field of food and agriculture studies, she has spent many years working on farms and with agriculture and food organizations in Guatemala, New York State and California. When she is not teaching or studying about food and agriculture, she enjoys hiking, swimming, biking, gardening and playing folk and bluegrass music.

Here's a fact that few people are likely to know - this July it will be 100 years since Edinburgh Zoo opened its gates to the public. To celebrate this fabulous occasion, the zoo has some extra treats in store for its visitors. On 22nd July, the zoo will be giving away 100 special prizes to some of the lucky visitors. Will you be the lucky person who wins a panda experience worth £1000? Other prizes include keeper experiences and various items from the gift shop.
The zoo itself has undergone many changes during its 100 years of activity. During its early days for example, elephant rides were a common occurrence. Today, visitors are able to view more than 1000 animals in enclosures that closely resemble their natural habitats.
One of the zoo's earliest claims to fame concerns its penguins. It was the first place in the world where penguins were actually housed and bred. The zoo now houses a variety of penguin breeds, from the Kings to the Rockhoppers. Since its beginning in the early 1950's, the daily penguin parade has proved to be a visitor favourite. The parade allows the public to get up close and personal with the penguins, while also giving the penguins an opportunity to show-off.
A hotly talked about addition to the zoo in recent years has been the Giant Pandas – Tian Tian (female) and Yang Guang (male). The two pandas arrived at the zoo in January 2011, and since then tens of thousands of people have popped in to say 'hi' to Tian Tian and Yang Guang. Edinburgh zoo is currently the only place in the UK where Giant Pandas are housed.
Visit the zoo on Monday 22nd July, and getting to see the UK's only Giant Pandas might not be the only prize you walk away with!

TEAMS: New York Jets
The past 18 months have not been kind to New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.
He has fallen from being considered a competent game manager to being widely viewed as a player that has a weak arm, weak leadership skills and an even weaker spirit.
As the Jets open the doors to a new league year, Sanchez spoke with Fox Sports Radio, via Sports Radio Interviews, to discuss his feelings and relationship with Tim Tebow, the disaster that was the 2012 season and his current outlook.

text: I have no clue what our front office was thinking lastnight but I trust them. With that being said the Pacers should look into trading Houston for lowery and one of their 4 pfs. I know it would take a lot but if we could offer DC, DJ and our number one next year they might just take it. I mean what will Houston do with 4 pf and lowery doesn't want to be there at all.This trade could get us a very good pg and a pf to learn behind dwest what do u all think.

No longer together
Do not let others be your reference for who you see in the mirror.
Stop allowing people to hurt you, because you don't love you enough to walk away.
Also, Office Depot or a Teacher supply store would have some too.

Sometimes it's better to push someone away...not because you stopped loving them but because you can't take the pain anymore.

Not to rehash every nitty gritty detail in the failed attempt at a fourth Jason Bourne movie starring Matt Damon, and a third directed by Paul Greengrass, but 'Bourne 4' seems to have had a lot of people try and fail to crack the story (maybe because it was more or less resolved with "The Bourne Ultimatum.") Back in the fall of 2009, it emerged that two people were writing scripts for the project, George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau," 'Ultimatum') who was the preferred choice of Damon and Greengrass, and newcomers Josh Zetumer ("RoboCop") hired at the behest of Universal. You can read the long version of the story here, but the short version is that neither took off, the project collapsed: fast-forward three years and we got "The Bourne Legacy." But it seems Damon didn't give up.
Chatting with Deadline about his upcoming "Promised Land," the actor revealed that he approached a pretty big name to try and figure out where to take Jason Bourne next. "I quietly went to Jonah Nolan, because he and his brother Chris did such a brilliant job on Batman and that whole mythology," Damon said. "I just said, 'Can you put your brain on this? I can't figure it out.' And he took a run at it and he couldn't crack it either. Paul and I have been talking about it for years. And we can't quite see what the movie would be. If we could get line of sight on that…"
So while we'll have to imagine what a Bourne movie penned by the guy behind "The Dark Knight," "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Prestige" might have been like, it is intriguing to consider that he couldn't figure out a worthwhile way in. Again, Damon insists that if Greengrass wants to do it and they can figure out the approach, he's game to return to the series, but if/when that happens, remains to be seen. But do you think a Nolan penned 'Bourne' would have worked? Who should they ask next to try and figure it out? Let us know below.

Jonah Nolan is one hot piece of @#@$$$
manny | December 10, 2012 3:02 PM
Just pretend Legacy never happened. A plot that had a retard take drugs and become Jason Bourne? REALLY? Damon will be back in a few years. If Universal tries again without him they'll only bury it for good.
Serbius | December 10, 2012 1:00 PM
a Jason Bourne movie penned by Jonah Nolan would be amazing.
Day | December 10, 2012 12:45 PM
Remember when Peter Jackson wasn't directed the Hobbit, and then a couple months later he was suddenly directing the Hobbit... Matt Damon wants to be back, and I think he is still thinking of a way that Bourne and Cross can team up. Get Jonah Nolan + Gilroy c0-writing and Greengrass directing and we will get the Bourne movie we all deserve. Legacy was half time, it's time to start the 3rd Quarter.
tim | December 10, 2012 12:24 PM
That would have been awesome! Maybe Jonah could figure out a way to get Cross and Bourne in one movie...

Tonight we had to go out to a graduation party in Glastonbury, and drove through that nasty thunderstorm (the one that spawned the tornado warning for the Willimantic area). We must have gone through close to the middle of it – wind, lightning, torrential rain and near golf ball sized hail. Anyways, after the party we made our way home, and as the girls were getting ready for bed, we had a nice little surprise.
Jill yelled down from upstairs that there was a bright rainbow over the trees. So I ran outside and grabbed my camera to get a few shots of the rainbows.
A nice ending to a stormy evening.
Thanks for looking!

The assassination of Lebanese politician Antoine Ghanem on September 19 is likely to be used, predictably, to further US and Israeli interests in the region. Most Western and some Arab media have industriously argued that
Case solved.
Or is it?
The Syrian regime may, in fact, be responsible for the murder of six Lebanese political figures, including Ghanem, since the tragic car-bombing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in February 2005. However, to understand the situation in
Considering the elaborate politics of assassination in Lebanon and the many bloody events that were justified on the basis of such killings – notwithstanding the rationalization of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the massacre of Sabra and Shatila in 1982 – one would assume that media reporters and commentators have learned to become extra cautious before following official American and Israeli lines.
As a country either fully or partially responsible for destabilizing
Why would a country that was willing to sink so low now provide pretexts for hostilities by carrying out brazen assassinations against
Could it be plausible that
So who are the other possible culprits? Considering
It might also be helpful for those who insist that Syria alone is capable of inflicting such mayhem in Lebanon to remember that Netanyahu recently and unsurprisingly admitted that the 'mysterious' air strike inside Syrian territories on September 6 – clearly an attempt to coerce Syria into a military confrontation – was indeed deliberate. US diplomats scrambled to justify the palpable act of war on the mediocre claim that the Syrian target bombed by Israeli US-supplied F15 jets 'may have had links to North Korean nuclear arms,' according to the British Guardian. Mediocre or not, a case against Syria that involves the US, Israel and their allies in the region is being diligently weaved, and one should not be surprised if the next military confrontation against Hizbollah will widen to include Syrian territories as well.
As media and official efforts have conveniently overlooked all other possible culprits behind the determined efforts to destabilise

text: The Black and Orange songs, Ashkon, fly like a G-Men, SF going crazy, the celebrations, the partying, the exciting baseball, the atmosphere in the bay area, I miss it way too much. The rest of my favorite teams, the 49ers warriors sharks, aren't doing much to keep me lifted, even the Sharks are disappointing. I miss watching baseball more than ever, even though I don't watch it a lot, only Giants games. From game 1 of the Atlanta Braves series, to Game 5 of the World Series, the playoffs had me and everyone else hooked. Nothing makes a city come alive more than a successfull sports team, and it was just a fun ride. Sports here have been sucking for a while, and though it would be awesome for the Sharks to get it together and make a huge playoff run, the Giants will always be remembered for reviving a grieving fan base, and Bay Area. I know we got the trophy, but if I could go through it all once again, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but guess we got to wait another long 9 months for MLB playoffs(I don't have cable so I can't watch all the Giants games). But yeah anyone else missing the experience that was the Giants 2010 playoff run?

Benjamin Harrison ( 1833 1901). Harrison was the twenty-third President of the United States, (1889 to 1893).He was the grand son and also the great grandson of the two former Harrison Presidents of the United States.He served in the Civil War and was a breveted Brigader General. Before he became President he served as a senator from Indiana. His administration is best known for legislation including the McKinley Tariff and federal spending that reached one billion dollars. Democrats attacked the "Billion Dollar Congress" and defeated the Republican Party in the 1890 mid-term elections, as well as defeating Harrison's bid for reelection in 1892. He is to date the only president from Indiana.
Harrison received nearly 100,000 fewer popular votes than incumbent President Grover Cleveland but carried the Electoral College 233 to 168. Although had made no political bargains, his supporters had given innumerable pledges upon his behalf. When Boss Matthew Quay of Pennsylvania heard that Harrison ascribed his narrow victory to Providence, Quay exclaimed that Harrison would never know "how close a number of men were compelled to approach...the penitentiary to make him President." Of course Cleveland was defeated but rose again to be reelected President in a subsequent election:That is why George W Bush is the 43rd rather than 44th president.
Signature, as President, on a card with an engraved image of the White House. Approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches. Signed Benj Harrison [Washington], March 1st 1893. Card in good condition with ageing and toning.
The autograph comes with a letter of authenticity as to its origin, history and authenticity.
