The Madeleine Brand Show for August 9, 2012
Are athletes reaching the limits of human potential?

LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 05: (L-R) Churandy Martina of the Netherlands, Ryan Bailey of the United States, Usain Bolt of Jamaica, Justin Gatlin of the United States, Yohan Blake of Jamaica and Tyson Gay of the United States compete in the Men's 100m final on Day 9 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium on August 5, 2012 in London, England. (Photo by Julia Vynokurova/Getty Images)
This week, Jamaican Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt crushed his competitors in the 100 meter dash. But he also crushed another record after finishing the race with a time of 9.63 seconds, a record in the Olympics. Viewers are already looking forward to Bolt's next race to see if he'll put his name in the record books once again in the 200 meter dash, when he squares off against fellow Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake.
But his 100 meter run caused many to wonder about the limits of human speed. Could there ever be a record that could not be broken? KPCC's A Martinez explains the science behind Usain Bolt.

The FODB100 Microcoupler™ from Fairchild Semiconductor is said to be the first single-channel optocoupler with a transistor output housed in a ball grid array (BGA) package. The device is designed for consumer electronics products such as chargers, adapters, set-top boxes, and appliances, as well as industrial applications such as power supplies and motor controls.
The optocoupler's small package size (3.5 by 3.5 mm) and low profile (1.20-mm max mounted height), combined with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, are said to meet the demanding requirements of consumer and industrial products. The single-channel device consists of an aluminum gallium arsenide IR LED driving a silicon phototransistor. Featuring high isolation (2,500 Vrms for 1 sec) and high current transfer ratio at low input current levels, the company says the optocoupler is designed for conventional voltage isolation in power system feedback circuits and for isolating signals in high-voltage, electrically noisy environments.
The lead-free product is said to meet the requirements for the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with the European Union requirements, which will go into affect in 2005. UL and VDE safety approvals are pending.

Report Of The Committee On Amendments To Criminal Law by OutlookMagazine
There is no much mention about the delays in the delivery system of justice. There is abnormal delays and there is also incorrect conclusions sometimes. The report is good but it should be implemented in total. There are certain points which require deep consideration and discussions.

Report Of The Committee On Amendments To Criminal Law
Full text of the report by the Committee constituted to suggest amendments in laws for sexual crimes which was submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs
J.S. Verma, Gopal Subramanium, Leila Seth
The effort put in by the three members anti- rape committee headed by former CJI in submitting its 631 pages report to GOI merits appreciation.The job was completed in a record 29 days after orally consulting 474, witnesses..Let the law makers in Parliament and State assemblies now legislate on the matter.The lukewarm response by serving DGs across the country, is reprehensible. Their inability to assist the committee by give suggestions/opinions for amendments to criminal law, displays their lack of concern for women' safety. They must all be show-caused and reprimanded.
A K Saxena (A retired civil servant)
Why do civil servants fudge the issues? Police function under the Home Ministry and all policy making is done through the ministry. DGPs have only limited operational freedom and must route all proposals through the ministry.
So yes, show cause and reprimand must be given for this stark indifference to the safety of women and horrific crimes against them- but to the Home Secretaries/ Home Ministers in addition to the DGPs!
The Commission report has examined every faction and all have been found wanting- the politicians, bureaucrats, police officers, judges, media and of course the citizens. If something is to be done then everyone has to accept blame, pledge to change oneself and work with all other concerned individuals and groups to bring a transformation.

LCPD "ride-alongs" cut after officer arrest
Published On: Sep 01 2013 07:16:13 PM CDT
Updated On: Jan 16 2014 01:37:55 PM CST
Updated On: Jan 16 2014 01:37:55 PM CST
The Las Cruces Police Department tells ABC-7 "ride-alongs" with police officers have been cut indefinitely. This is a result of the recent arrest of 37-year-old veteran detective Michael Garcia.
Last week Garcia resigned, less than five days after he was arrested on felony charges for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl inside his unmarked police car in 2011
The statement of facts said Garcia stopped the police unit and allegedly started to fondle the 17-year-old girl.
Police say they planning on reviewing and possibly revising their ride-along policies.

Boyd Tonkin Indy piece: Curator of miracles in Milan: How Roberto Calasso mastered the art of publishing.
Whatever his blind spots about soulful crooners of the Sixties, how many other free-range intellectuals can match Calasso for the breadth of his erudition and his boldness in bringing it to new audiences? In Britain, George Steiner; in this city of Milan, Umberto Eco. Arguably, with his immersion in Indian as well as European art and belief, Calasso spans more ground than either. Remarkably, he has also spent half a century not in academe but as a busy publisher.

Rod Stewart Calls Ian McLagan 'The True Spirit of the Faces'
Rod Stewart has offered a public tribute to his former Faces bandmate Ian McLagan, who passed away Dec. 3.
Rod Stewart has offered a public tribute to his former Faces bandmate Ian McLagan, who passed away Dec. 3.
See? Rock stars are just like you and me.
Rod Stewart wasn't kidding when he said he'd been busy writing songs for his next album.
Whether you want to get 'Smooth' or stay 'Forever Young,' Carlos Santana and Rod Stewart have you covered this summer.
Live performances from the most commercially successful years of Rod Stewart's solo career (so far) are being collected in a new four-disc box set, scheduled to arrive in stores on March 18.
For a band that thrived onstage, and whose live performances are legendary, it's a shame that the only official concert document of the Faces is the less-than-stellar 'Live - Coast to Coast Overture and Beginners.' Released on Jan. 10, 1974, as the group was about ready to call it quits, the album captures the Faces in typically ramshackle form during a pair of California shows from late 1973.
The Faces ended their short life in December of 1975. Sprouted from the ashes of the Small Faces after Steve Marriott left the group to form Humble Pie, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones recruited Ron Wood and Rod Stewart (both recently exited from the Jeff Beck Group) to comprise a true powerho
He's one of the world's biggest rock stars, but even a guy as famous as Rod Stewart can be struck by the thrill of being in the presence of a celebrity. Just ask hobby-shop owner George Sellios.
After years of discussions, it looks like Rod Stewart might finally be ready to rejoin his old mates in the Faces for a new tour -- just in time to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the band's breakup.
It was an epic battle, but someone had to win in the end. And with just under 55 percent of the vote, Rod Stewart has emerged victorious as the latest inductee into the Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame.
At 68, Rod Stewart has, like most people his age, reached the time in his life when he has started to think about calling it a day and relaxing after a lifetime of hard work. But in a new interview, he says that day won't arrive for another 25 years.
Rod Stewart recently claimed that he'd be up for a tour with his old partner Jeff Beck, but he noted that Beck isn't speaking to him. According to Beck, however, it's really the other way around.

Every automotive enthusiast has a favorite car – a vehicle that brings a smile every time it comes to mind. This is different for everyone: some prefer sleek convertibles while others regularly choose rugged pickups. The choices differ according to personal preferences and lifestyle choices: people pick cars that they feel suit their personalities and match up with their day-to-day activities. So what can be said about a person who most values a Mercedes 500SL? There are many different types of drivers out there, but most would agree that Mercedes Benz represents class, reliability, and excellent engineering through and through. These vehicles are some of the best in the business – and the fact that some models with decades under their belts can still be seen cruising the roadways means that reliability and longevity are major hit points. Maintaining a Mercedes, however, requires the same kind of attention to detail needed for lesser automobiles. Great engineering doesn't make a car impervious to the effects of wear and tear. Every driver must therefore be ready to support his or her car with the proper Mercedes 500SL Parts.

Yesterday, the Arizona Department of Education released the 2005 AIMS results. Scores went up across the board-way up in some cases, with districts reporting increases of 30 and even 50 points.
But are these gains the result of student learning or lowering the bar? Every year since 1999, the state has lowered AIMS passing scores or made content easier. Despite those efforts, about 60 percent of high school students taking AIMS for the first time failed in 2002, 2003, and 2004.
After those exams, the state completely overhauled AIMS to make it easier to pass. In 2005 the failure rate was almost halved: about 30 percent of high school students taking AIMS for the first time failed. According to Monty Neill, co-director of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, "This certainly reeks of manipulating the exam and cutoff scores to come up with the desired results."
Furthering the trend, new legislation adopted this spring lets students use qualifying class grades to raise their AIMS scores, meaning students can pass the test and receive their high school diplomas even if they get half of the questions wrong.
At this rate, everyone will be passing, but will anyone be learning?

What are the pros? Super fragrant and sweet
What are the cons? Slow to establish well
Tried growing from seed three years in a row, and finally, the 3rd time is the charm! Critters dug up my pots the first year; seeds very slow to germinate and sprout the 2nd year before being dug up by critters; only two plants made it the 3rd year, but now they are huge and producing like crazy. These are so sweet and fragrant. They were worth all the trouble! You'll astound all of your neighbors with white strawberries. Looking forward to dividing the many plants I now have and creating a whole berry border!

What are the pros? Great price
What are the cons? Nothing
Lovely little plants, small fruits almost taste like pineapple.
Planted as a edging for my flower bed, it is doing better in the shade than in full sun.

What are the pros? taste
What are the cons? took a long time to germinate
my neighbor and I order some earlier this year and they're doing great. they started out a little slow to germinate, I thought I'd end up with 5 or 6 plants but ended up with about 45 to 50. the taste is very good

2011 Declared International Year of Forests by the United Nations
This international effort underscores the importance of forests to people for food, shelter, health and economy. The UN's goal is to raise awareness on sustainable management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests.
Some Global Forest Facts:
- Forests cover 31% of total global land area.
- Forests house 80% our terrestrial biodiversity.
- The livelihood of over 1.6 billion people depends on forests.
- Forests store more than 1 trillion tons of carbon.
- Over 40% of the world's oxygen is produced by rainforests.
- More than 1/4 of modern medicines originate from tropical forest plants.
Learn more about New York's forests and the International Year of Forests.
Celebrating New York's Forests Photo Contest
In honor of the International Year of Forests, DEC's Division of Lands and Forests has launched Celebrating New York's Forests Photo Contest. This contest is an effort to increase awareness of and appreciation for all types of forests, urban and rural, large and small, public and privately owned, across the state. People are encouraged to submit photos in five different categories:
- Nature (wildlife, plants, natural landscapes, etc.)
- Enjoying the forest (hunting, fishing, trails, camping, hiking, etc.)
- Trees where we live (parks, streets, yards, etc.)
- Forest products (maple syrup, lumber, baseball bats, furniture, etc.)
- State-owned Forests (State Forests, Forest Preserve lands, forested Wildlife Management Areas, Campgrounds)
For more information, see DEC's Celebrating New York's Forests Photo Contest web page.
Giant Hogweed
This time of year giant hogweed is most noticeable and most easily identified. This invasive plant is a Federally listed noxious weed. Its sap, in combination with sunlight, can cause severe skin and eye irritation, painful blistering, permanent scarring and blindness. Contact between the skin and the sap of this plant occurs either through brushing against the bristles on the stem or breaking the stem or leaves. "Giant" is a good description because it grows up to 15 feet tall and the white umbrella-shaped flower heads can be 2 feet across. DEC is gathering data on all giant hogweed locations. Read more about giant hogweed.
Emerald Ash Borer
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is only about ¼ inch long but can kill a full-grown ash tree. It was first discovered in New York State in 2009 in Cattaraugus County. Since then, it has been found in 10 counties. It has most recently been found in Rochester, Buffalo and Highland Falls. Cities, towns and villages that have ash street trees will be hit rather hard financially and aesthetically by EAB. To get a sense of the dollar cost, multiply the number of ash trees by the cost of removing a tree. By identifying and managing infested areas, we can slow the spread of EAB which gives everyone more time to plan and prepare for its arrival.
EAB Contiguous Movement:
The NYS Division of Agriculture and Markets (DAM) is allowing movement of ash logs into NYS from the contiguous EAB-quarantined counties in Pennsylvania, with a newly established a NYSDAM State Compliance Agreement (CA) for mills interested in doing so. USDA APHIS also has agreed to provide the necessary Federal CAs for interstate movement of ash logs out of one quarantined state into another. For more information, call the NYS DAM Division of Plant Industry at (518) 457-2087.
What You Can Do to Help New York's Forests
- Don't move firewood. You could be moving invasive insects that kill trees.
- Become familiar with what emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle and giant hogweed look like and keep on the lookout for them.
Back Country Stewards
Backcountry recreationists and the state's natural resources will both receive a higher level of protection thanks to the creation of the Backcountry Stewards Internship Program. The Backcountry Stewardship Program expands the long running partnership between Student Conservation Association (SCA) and DEC that began more than a decade ago. Funding from the Environmental Protection Fund will be matched by contributions from SCA to hire 24 college-aged students to work this summer as backcountry stewards on a variety of DEC public lands including State Forests and Forest Preserve lands, in addition to Conservation Easement lands. More information on backcountry outdoor recreation.
DEC and Partners Celebrate Opening of Bike Trail Segment
The Beaver Brook Trail System recently added 3.5 miles of mountain bike trails to the Wilmington area. Combined with the Flume Trail System, which opened in 2009, and the bike trails on the Whiteface Mountain Ski, which are connected to the Flume Trail System, there are now more than 20 miles of bike trails in the Wilmington area. This Wilmington area bike trail system was developed through the combined efforts of the DEC, Town of Wilmington, Wilmington Mountain Peddlers, Barkeater Trails Alliance, the Olympic Regional Development Authority's Whiteface Mountain Ski Center and the Adirondack Mountain Club's Trails Program.
North Mount Loretto State Forest Arbor Day Reforestation Project
On April 29, New York City, through the Million Trees New York (MTNY) program, partnered with DEC to reforest two areas at North Mount Loretto totaling nearly one acre. More than 1,340 trees and shrubs from the MTNY program and State Tree Nursery were planted. People of all ages from the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Public School 25, Americorps, and DEC staff helped on planting day.
Charles E. Baker State Forest Assisted by the NYS Plantation Walking Horse Club
For the tenth straight year, the New York State Plantation Walking Horse Club has donated materials and supplies to the DEC's Region 7 Lands and Forests to maintain and improve the assembly area at Charles E. Baker State Forest, part of the esteemed Brookfield Horse Trail System that traverses four DEC state forests in Madison County. Groups like the New York State Plantation Walking Horse Club are important partners for the state, especially during these difficult fiscal times. Other organized groups that would like to help keep state forest recreational services open and available for the public are encouraged to contact their regional Lands and Forests office to learn more about the Adopt a Natural Resource program.
State Forests Strategic Management Plan
Commissioner Joe Martens officially adopted the Strategic Plan for State Forest Management on July 15. The plan is intended to guide the Department's activities on the nearly 800,000 acres of State Forests managed by the Division of Lands & Forests. It is also a Generic Environmental Impact Statement, which will increase staff efficiency by eliminating the need for separate State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) analysis for projects that comply with the guidelines and thresholds outlined in the plan. The 315-page document covers a broad array of management areas, including forest product sales, ecosystem management, resource protection, forest health, public recreation, rare and endangered species protection, and mineral resources.

Sebastian Vettel continued to dominate qualifying in Canada, securing his third successive pole position ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
The German, who has yet to claim the victory in Montreal, put in a 1:25.425 on a wet Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to edge Hamilton by less than a tenth.
However, the star of the show was Williams rookie Valtteri Bottas.The Finnish driver put in a 1:25.897 to take third place, just four-tenths off the pace.
Nico Rosberg was fourth ahead of Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso.
Qualifying 1
It had been drizzling on and off all morning in Montreal and as the session started no-one was sure if it would get better or worse. The track was just16C.
It was not wet enough for anything but Inters, but it was dry enough to tempt the Lotus of Kimi Raikkonen to attempt slick tyres. He came back in after one lap and an excursion across the grass. Others who had tried the gambit also came in to get Inters without setting a time.
So despite the frenetic activity on track with cars running over the final chicane and running on at the Casino hairpin, nobody had set a time at the fifteen minute mark. When they did, the times rapidly started to tumble with a sequence of cars in P1:
Vergne 1:28.204
Massa 1:28.093
Hamilton 1:27.308
Rosberg 1:26.781
Vettel 1:26.293
Hamilton 1: 25.944
Vettel 1:24.708
Alonso had a scary moment when he lost control just after Turn 1, slid his car on the kerbs and almost ended up nosing into the barriers on the outside of the track. He got it stopped just in time. There were barrier-threatening moments going on all round the track.
The P1 time still kept being whittled down:
Hamilton 1:24.544
Vettel 1:24.003
Rosberg 1:23.840
Hamilton 1:23.801
With four minutes to go the danger positions were: 15.Ricciardo, 16.Massa, 17.Button, 18.Chilton, 19.Vergne, 20.Pic, 21.Bianchi, 22.Van der Garde
Massa the set fastest time of 1:23.735 to escape, which was bettered by Mark Webber with a 1:23.247. Button moaned his way through traffic to get a P5, Bottas jumped up to P2, Vergne took P9 - by which stage Romain Grosjean and Paul DiResta had been shoved into the dropzone along with the Caterhams and Marussias.
Paul DiResta managed P16, but it looked like Romain Grosjean was struggling to get heat into his tyres. DiResta's safety didn't last long because Esteban Gutierrez then demoted him back down to P17 again. Di Resta tried one more time but stayed P17.
So out went: 17.DiResta, 18.Pic, 19.Grosjean, 20.Bianchi, 21.Chilton, 22.Van der Garde.
It was interesting that both the Force India and the Lotus are light on their tyres and hence struggle to get heat into them (although both had team-mates who would ultimately make it to the top 10).
Qualifying 2
Everyone was out the moment the green light came on, this time on Inters. It had looked as though we were nearing the crossover point between Inters and slick tyres in Q1, but it was now much wetter, almost the crossover between Inters and wets.
Jean-Eric Vergne set the benchmark time of 1:30.033, Mark Webber edged it down carefully to a 1:29.677, before Hamilton reduced it to a 1:29.289.
Many drivers were exploring (and failing to find) the best braking point into the final chicane and skipping it - Alonso did it neatly and threaded out through the small gap there, Gutierrez bounced and slid his car over the 'sausage' kerb. Sutil, Hamilton and Vettel all followed suit.
Vettel took P1 to 1:28.825 and then lowered it further to a 1:28.146.
Running into the final four minutes the danger positions were: 8.Alonso, 9.Ricciardo, 10.Bottas, 11.Massa, 12.Perez, 13.Gutierrez, 14.Sutil, 15.Maldonado, 16.Button
Teams pitted for fresh Inters - Button moved up to P7, Perez to P6, Valtteri Bottas impressed with a P3 time. This left Alonso in P13 and Massa in P14 - with just 2:30 left on the clock.
Vergne took P6, Raikkonen P5, Alonso made himself safe in P5 and then cameras switched to Felipe Massa sliding into the barriers near the Turn 3 escape road. The impact was so strong and the car in such a vulnerable position that the sessions was red-flagged to recover it.
There was just 1:59 left on the clock and with no rain after Massa's accident - hence a drying, maybe quicker track - all 15 cars gathered at the pitlane exit in a rush to get out again.
Jenson Button failed to get out early enough, a massive mistake by the team considering he was down in P12 and with everyone trying to find themselves space he ended up missing one final flying lap, crossing the line two seconds too late.
Daniel Riccciardo grabbed P9, then Adrian Sutil made it into the top 10 eliminating both Perez and Hulkenberg from Q3. Out went: 11.Hulkenberg, 12.Perez, 13.Maldonado, 14.Button, 15.Gutierrez, 16.Massa
It had been a bad session for Massa having had two accidents in the previous race and now one that left him in P16. But it was worse for McLaren who saw both cars fail to get into Q3. Hero of the session was Bottas in the Williams who had made it into his first ever Q3. Di Resta will not be happy that his team-mate made Q3 yet he couldn't get out of Q1.
Qualifying 3
Another queue in the pitlane which Kimi Raikkonen immediately jumped to get ahead of Mark Webber as the lights went green. Sebastian Vettel was out first and set provisional pole at 1:25.425, Hamilton slotted into P2 and then Bottas managed an impressive P3 in front of Rosberg and Webber.
After the first runs it was; Vettel, Hamilton, Bottas, Rosberg, Webber, Alonso, Vergne, Raikkonen, Riciardo, Sutil.
The cars came in for more (or less used) Inters for their second runs of two laps. Disappointingly everyone was going slower with the exception of Lewis Hamilton who looked like he might just steal pole when he ran wide into the final chicane, cutting it and losing his time. Sutil hauled himself into an impressive P8.
So Vettel took his third pole in Canada even though he is yet to win the race. The Mercedes stranglehold on P1 was broken with Hamilton faster than Rosberg and Bottas in between the two Mercedes. For the Finnish rookie it was a dream result and a much-needed boost for the Williams team.
With the weather still changeable for Sunday - showers are predicted - grid position may not count nearly as much as tyre wear or strategy and Fernando Alonso is still handily placed in P6.
Vettel will be determined to break his Canadian duck in weather that might be just suited to them - that's ducks, not Red Bull.

Governor Napolitano's "targeted tax relief" plan is targeted indeed'"it rewards a few groups, on a few days, and only for certain behaviors.
Who will get touched by the targeted tax-cut wand this year?
Hybrid-fuel car owners stand to benefit; the better the mileage, the bigger the tax cut. But, with a sticker price well over $20,000 for most hybrids, this certainly won't provide relief for lower income Arizonans. Nor will it help a family who needs a new minivan or a construction worker who buys a new truck.
Next up is a three day sales tax holiday to help pay for back-to-school supplies. Clearly, this helps families by making pencils and backpacks cheaper. But, what constitutes school supplies for one child may be a new tuba for band, or new soccer cleats for another. Assuming at least one parent works, wouldn't it be simpler to cut income tax rates so parents have more take home pay to buy whatever their child needs? Further, if three days are good, wouldn't a month be better?
Finally, Napolitano is proposing a tax credit for small businesses with two to 24 employees that provide health insurance. Yet there are over 320,000 businesses in Arizona with no employees besides the owner, and over 50,000 with more than 24. Health care costs are rising for everyone, not just businesses with two to 24 employees.
These policies may be good politics, but they are bad policy. The government shouldn't function like a fairy godmother, bestowing gifts upon their favorite children. Policymakers need to put away their magic wands and get real: all workers need tax-cuts.

Lake Woebegone in Spring !
Paddle faster, Melvin! The ice is thickening as we speak!
Like getting married!
Gee, this 'toon reminds me a bit of my recent experience of shoveling snow all the was to Stels. Melvin will be just as happy to get home with Myrtle and a hot cider as Dry and I were to get to *Stel's* and gulp down those hot toddies………
Didn't break any ice with her.
This strip is the perfect ice breaker.
That's putting the icing on the cake.
By the time he gets home more than his assets will be frozen !
Reading a certain person's candid comments will soon warm him up…
Great to have you with us!
C'est vrai! Eh bien, je vais dormir, pendant un petit moment. Bonsoir et soir bon.
g'night! :)
Ahh, nothing like a brisk evening slaying Devils, Demons and their ilk. Fenton a round for the house if there is anyone left.
Linguist my friend we all have our gifts, I may have some talent with music and poetry, but at language I am a total nerf. I have at various times in my life tried to learn Spanish, Latin and German. I managed to pick up a small spattering of Latin but nothing beyond that and that's with 2 years of classes in high school. I have even tried to learn Elvish from a friend who speaks it (mostly from Tolkien I believe) and beyond "Vedui" (Hello) I get totally lost. She speaks a few phrases at me regularly and I get the gist but thats mostly because of context, not because I have learned it. . . lol.
Wow Bev…. you're up late…..
Though you probably went to bed just before I got here…
everybody always does…. sigh….
Nice to see you, Six, if you're still here….
I'm on my way to the Tiki to check on the night shift….
Stop by, if you have time, and I'll buy you a drink….
Kinda my turn tonight.
Hey Red…. welcome back!
I was just telling Six I think it's MY turn to buy!
Thanks Susan! I just offered to buy a round for the house but no one responded so I'll happily allow you to stand for my nightcap this eve. I'll have my usual Glenfiddich on the rocks.

Patrick Dempsey Visits Cancer Patientby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Addison Sewell's friends jokingly call her "the future Mrs. McDreamy."
This past weekend, the teenage Addison got to meet the real McDreamy - or at least the actor who plays him on Grey's Anatomy.
Patrick Dempsey - who stars as the hunky Dr. Derek Shepherd, or "McDreamy," as he is more affectionately known to many female fans - took a half-hour out of his Saturday afternoon to visit Addison at Birmingham's Children's Hospital, where she has been undergoing treatments for leukemia.
"How's it going?" Patrick Dempsey said as he entered Addison's room bearing a plastic bag filled with t-shirts, a handbag and other souvenirs from the Barber Motorsports Park, where the actor raced in Sunday's KONI Challenge Series GS event.
"Can I sit on your bed, is that all right?" Dempsey then asked a giggling and nearly speechless Addison, who fittingly happens to have the same name as Patrick's one-time on-screen wife (played by Kate Walsh).
"You're talkative, aren't you," he later teased.
In April, three days after her 14th birthday, Addison - or "Addie," as friends and family call her - was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
Dempsey's visit came about with the help of Randy Stephens, Addison's track coach at Mountain Brook Junior High School, and "team mom" Julia Holt, who stayed after the staff at Zoom Motorsports.
Once Patrick Dempsey found out about Addison and how much she loved Grey's Anatomy, he took the time to see her in spite of all of his other racing-related events.
"He could have easily said, 'I don't have time,' and we wouldn't have thought any less of him," Stephens said. "I don't think there's anything bigger that he could have done for anyone other than what he did for Addison."
Addison has to undergo six months of chemotherapy treatments, and she recently had to go back to Children's Hospital because of a bacterial infection brought on by her low white-blood count.
"[Patrick Dempsey] coming made a huge difference for her as far as getting ready to get better and take on this next treatment," Stephanie Sewell, Addison's mother, said. "It really did inspire her to try to do everything she can to get better."
Addison gave Dempsey an orange plastic wristband that all of her friends wear to show their support for her. It's embossed with her name and the message, "Stay Strong."
Dempsey will wear it on the second episode of Season Four of Grey's Anatomy, and invited her to come visit the set of the show when she gets better.
He also autographed a "McDreamy is watching over you" poster that a friend made for her. Addison puts it on the wall above her bed every time she has to go back to the hospital. It features a People magazine cover of Dempsey holding his twin baby boys, Darby and Sullivan.
Hanna Nall, Addison's best friend and a teammate on the Birmingham United 93 Angels girls soccer team, was there to get a photo taken with Dempsey, too.
Addison can't wait to tell the rest of her friends about her McDreamy visitor.
"I told a lot of them, but some of them are at camp," she said Monday. "I wrote them, but I don't know if they've gotten it yet."
Addison's father, Hill Sewell, posted pictures of Dempsey's visit on her CaringBridge Web site, where family and friends can go for updates on her condition and to send her messages.
Although Addison was a big Grey's Anatomy fan before, she's an even bigger one now.
"I just like all of the drama and stuff in the show and the music and everything - and him," she said.
And what does she like most about McDreamy?
"His looks, I guess."

Update on Addison Sewell: I work with Addison's father and he sent an email today stating Addison is doing very well and is still in remission!!! For more news and info you can check out Addison's CaringBridge website. There is a link located in the article. Addison is a very lucky girl, in more than one way! She is in remission and she met McDreamy!
On the set of grey's anatomy season 4 : http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Ef... ---> Do you people see what I see? He's wearing the bracelet :)) !
thanks everyone for keeping her in your prayers shes one of my close friends and she was SHOCKED when she found this out. i also want to thank ms. joni for helping! this is such a huge thing for addi! we all love her and know she will stay strong!!!
What a nice thing to do!! My thoughts and Prayers are with you Addison, and as for Patrick that proves how McDreamy he really is!!
Yeah Patrick is awesome! I'm happy for Addison, and also jealous :p
BUT when is he going to wear that bracelet? In the first episode of season 4? It would be so sweet if he would wear it!!!
addison is great,I wish her all the best and of course to stay strong and get better soon :)
and patrick is AMAZING!!!i love him sooo much!
I'll definately watch for the orange bracelet too.
haha addison is incredible, and so is patrick dempsey..everyone in mtn. brook and places surronding are praying for her.
OH MY GOD. It was such a touching story to read about brave Addison. And she's lucky to have received a visit from Patrick. It was brilliant of him to devote some time to see her at the hospital. He's such a gentleman and I'm really proud of him for that. My thoughts are now with Addison and I hope she'll get better soon. Patrick really IS McDreamy. Definitely!
My prayers are with Addison
He realy is such a good person!
There are (2) great videos on youtube showing Patricks visit under Grey's Anatomy. He such an amazing person!

The Majestic
reviewed by Steve Sailer
UPI, December 20, 2001
You could make a case that "The Majestic" is sweet, sentimental, and relaxed. Be my guest. Me, I'm voting for cloying, sappy, and sloooow. If it was shorter, it would have been painless, but at two and a half hours long, "The Majestic" gave me too much dead time to think about its many flaws.
Apparently presuming that shared first names means shared talents, director Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption") tries to channel Frank Capra, while Jim Carrey plays Jimmie Stewart in a drama intended to remind us of the Capra-Stewart classics "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "It's a Wonderful Life."
Unfortunately, Carrey does not exactly possess Stewart's naturalness. Carrey's reactions are always slightly off, even here, where he tries to hide them by being almost inert. Memo to Academy voters: Please give Carrey the Oscar so he'll go back to being funny.
Similarly, Darabont's direction lacks Capra's basic virtues of energy and entertainment. Nor does he have a clue what themes Capra looked for in a script.
Michael Sloan's screenplay offers a greatest hits collection of Hollywood hokum, old and new, from amnesia to the Blacklist. Set in 1954, Carrey is a superficial, apolitical screenwriter subpoenaed by a Red-hunting Congressional panel because eight years before he once attended a leftwing meeting to impress some UCLA girl.
Fired by the studio, he aimlessly drives north, falls off a bridge, conks his head, loses his memory, and is mistakenly assumed by the salt-of-the-earth citizenry of little Lawson, CA to be their long lost war-hero. Settling into his new role as Martin Landau's son, he brings hope back to the small town by refurbishing the Majestic movie theatre. After all, as the movie industry has been pointing out for the last couple of decades, that's what real life is all about: movies!
Then, he gets his memory back, the FBI tracks him down, and he is ordered to fink on other Commies. Of course, he being a 1954 Hollywood screenwriter and this being a 2001 Hollywood movie, he doesn't know any Communists. What could be sillier than the idea of a Communist screenwriter?
So, inspired by the McCarthy-hating liberalism of small town America in the Fifties, he makes a "Mr. Smith" style speech that shames the evil (presumably Republican) anti-Communist politicians. The usual standing ovations ensue.
Capraesque? First, Capra didn't make movies about movies. That's a modern form of navel-gazing.
Second, Capra's sentimental endings are so moving because the rest of his pictures are so cynical. In "It's A Wonderful Life," Stewart finds small town life petty and confining. The angel shows that if he had left to enjoy himself in the big city, Bedford Falls would have been a real dump.
Third, Capra and Stewart were Republicans. Stewart even served America through the first 23 years of the Cold War as a general in the Air Force Reserve. Making a movie about how there weren't any Communists to speak of among Hollywood screenwriters would have struck them as absurd. After all, their writer on "Mr. Smith," Sydney Buchman, was a card-carrying Stalinist at the time.
American culture is still paying the price of the Hollywood Red Hunts, and not just because they blacklisted so many leftists with a weakness for totalitarianism. The subsequent anti-anti-Communist backlash in the Sixties then drove underground most of the entertainment world's Republicans.
In 1939, two Republicans and a Stalinist could make a political classic. Today, acceptable opinion in Hollywood runs basically from Eleanor Roosevelt Democrats like Barbara Streisand on the left all the way over to Harry Truman Democrats like Tom Hanks on the right.
Rated PG.

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
The complete 'Handwritten Bible', created by tens of thousands of people across Britain and Northern Ireland, has gone online for the first time.
BBC 2's series, 'The Bible's Buried Secrets', offers intriguing thoughts, but perhaps not as controversial as some of the promotional material would have it, says Alison Jasper. The world of biblical scholarship is broad and hospitable to different interpretations. And arguably, it is the essentially unanswerable but fertile questions that remain the Bible's real buried treasure.
My prize discovery of the Advent season is a website offering seasonal reflections on the lectionary derived from the insights of René Girard.

Labour haven't changed – and their Conference proved it.
Labour wrecked the economy when they were last in power, and they're just not up to it now – as these seven moments show:
1) Ed Miliband 'forgot' to mention the deficit in his Conference speech. If the Labour leader ignores our country's debts, how can hardworking taxpayers have the confidence that Labour won't wreck the economy again?
2) Ed Balls' speech included £20.4bn of spending promises and only 1.9bn of savings – an £18.5bn black hole that shows you can't trust Labour on the economy.
3) Labour's Shadow Work & Pensions Secretary didn't know how much the State Pension is – showing that pensions aren't safe in Labour's hands.
4) It was revealed that Labour's tax rises could cost 375,000 jobs – a report from a leading think tank warned that Labour's plan would leave hundreds of thousands of hardworking families without the security of a pay packet.
5) Labour couldn't get their sums to add up: their Shadow Health Secretary said he had no idea how their homes tax would help fund the NHS; their Shadow Energy Secretary couldn't say how much money the homes tax would raise; and their Shadow Work & Pension's Secretary didn't know how much their child benefit freeze would save.
6) A new survey showed 85% of Labour candidates don't think the last Labour government spent too much – proving that Labour still haven't learned their lesson.
7) The Institute for Fiscal Studies confirmed that Labour's policies would lead to a 'higher debt and higher deficit' – which would put the recovery at risk and make hardworking taxpayers less financially secure.
Labour haven't changed. They would put the recovery at risk with more spending, more taxes and more debt than our children could ever hope to repay.
It's same old Labour – and Britain can't go back to it.
Share this post on Facebook and Twitter and let everyone know that Labour just aren't up to it.
Today a £18.5 billion black hole was found in Ed Balls' spending plans – proving that you can't trust Labour on the economy.
In his speech at the Labour Party Conference, the Shadow Chancellor made £20.4 billion of spending promises:
- A British Investment Bank: £3.8bn
- Homebuilding: £10bn
- A 10p starting rate of income tax: £780m
- Cutting business rates: £510m
- A Compulsory Jobs Guarantee: £2.58bn
- Restoring the spare room subsidy: £465m
- Repealing the NHS Bill: £1.5bn
- Extending free childcare: £800m
But set out only £1.9 billion of savings to pay for those promises:
- Scrapping Police and Crime Commissioners: £50m
- Capping child benefit: £120m
- Raising income tax: £110m
- Cutting ministerial salaries: £0.6m
- Restricting winter fuel payments: £105m
- Scrapping the married couples tax allowance: £780m
- Abolishing employee shareholder status: £45m
- Reintroducing the Schedule 19 charge for Stamp Duty: 145m
That's a black hole in Labour's spending plans of £18.5 billion – which would have to be made up with more borrowing and more taxes on hardworking families.
Labour haven't changed.
They have no credible plan for the economy – and worse, they'd put the recovery at risk with more inefficient spending, more taxes, and more debt than our children could ever repay.
Only the Conservatives have a long-term economic plan for a healthier economy and a better future.
Share this post on Facebook and Twitter and let everyone know about Ed Balls' £18.5bn spending black hole – and why we can't go back to Labour.
Labour would hit growth and cost jobs.
That's the verdict of the respected Centre for Policy Studies think tank.
A new CPS report says that Labour's plans for more taxes could cost the economy £25bn over the next Parliament. (Source: Centre for Policy Studies, The Cost of Labour)
Even more importantly, they say that 375,000 jobs could be lost – leaving hardworking families without the security of a pay packet.
It's same old Labour. Last time they were in power, they left half-a-million more people unemployed and they'd do the same again.
While Labour would cost jobs, our long-term economic plan has helped create 1.8 million new jobs.
While Labour would lead to financial insecurity for families, our plan is helping more people provide for themselves and their loved ones.
While Labour would put the recovery at risk, our plan is securing a better future for Britain.
That's why we need to keep working through the plan – and why we can't go back to Labour.
Share this post on Facebook and Twitter and let everyone know that Labour's plans would cost jobs.
The claimant count is down, employment is up, and our long-term economic plan is helping more people find a job and get on in life – as today's jobs figures show.
1. Claimant count down
For the first time since 2008, the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance has fallen below one million. Our plan is building a stronger, healthier economy, with fewer people relying on benefits and more having the security of work.
2. Record fall in unemployment
Unemployment is down 468,000 in the last year – the biggest annual fall on record. That's giving more people the job they need to plan for a brighter future.
3. Employment up
There are now over 1.8m more people in work than in 2010 – that's 1.8m people with the security of a pay packet to provide for themselves and their families. And there are now a record number of women in work.
4. Record fall in youth unemployment
Youth unemployment is down 213,000 in the last year – the biggest annual fall since records began.
5. Full-time employment up
Full-time employment is up 589,000 in the last year – showing that new jobs are secure and long-term.
Labour left nearly half-a-million more people out of work than when they came into office. Their plans for more ineffective spending, more borrowing and higher taxes would put jobs, the recovery and the security of Britain's future at risk.
But our long-term economic plan is helping people from all over the UK find a job and get on in life. The plan is working but there's still more to do.
We now need to finish the job, keep moving towards our target of full employment, and secure a better future for all of Britain.

- It's helped over 50,000 people buy a home of their own
- 82% of those helped have been first-time buyers
- 94% of sales have been outside London
- The average price of a house bought is about £187,000 – well below the national average
- It's giving builders the confidence to build – and private sector house-building has increased by 34%
- It's helped create jobs, with the number of workers being taken on in the housing sector increasing at the fastest rate in 17 years
Help to Buy is part of our long-term economic plan to give people more security and a better future – and it's helped tens of thousands of families and first-time buyers get on the housing ladder and get on in life.

Small business are the lifeblood of the economy – and we're on their side.
Figures this week show that 20,000 start-up loans, worth over £100m, have been awarded to help new businesses get off the ground.
Start-up loans are helping people build something of their own and create jobs for others. That means a more financially secure future for hardworking taxpayers and their families.
We're also supporting businesses by:
- Cutting the jobs tax – saving businesses up to £2,000
- Doubling rate relief – so 360,000 small businesses pay no rates at all
- Scrapping red tape – saving businesses £1.5 billion and helping them grow
While Labour hit businesses with higher taxes and more regulations, our long-term economic plan is backing businesses – the key to creating jobs and building a healthier economy.
Only by continuing that plan will we secure a better future for Britain.
Share this post on Facebook and Twitter and let everyone know that we're backing businesses for a better future.
The UK's economy has grown even faster than previously thought, according to the Office for National Statistics – more evidence that our long-term economic plan is working.
The ONS have revised the UK's GDP figures up by 1% since 2010 – meaning that our economy has grown faster than Germany, France, and any other major economy outside of North America.
A growing economy means more jobs and greater security and peace of mind for hardworking British taxpayers.
We are building a stronger, healthier economy – the deficit has been cut by over a third, there are 400,000 more businesses and 1.8 million more people in work, with the security of a pay packet to provide for their families.
But the job is not yet done.
Under Labour, Britain went through the deepest recession since the War – and the risks to the recovery from Europe and elsewhere remain. That's why we must continue to work through the long-term economic plan, which is the only way to secure a better and brighter future for people across the country.

Labour started by claiming their proposed tax on the family home would only hit properties worth £2 million.
But already:
- Labour MP David Lammy has said homes worth £1 million or less could be taxed
(Source: The Evening Standard, 03/09/14)
- A senior Labour figure said homes worth £400,000 in the North of England should be hit too
(Source: Claire Reynolds quoted in Sunday Express, 10/08/14)
- And Labour MP Tessa Jowell has admitted "people would have to move out of their family homes" because of the tax
(Source: The Guardian, 26/11/13)
If Labour get into government, who knows how many hardworking families will be hit by their planned tax on the family home?
Labour simply haven't learnt their lesson: they taxed hardworking families to the brink last time they were in power – and now they want to do it all over again.
We have to stop them. Share this post on Facebook and Twitter today and let's stop Ed Miliband getting into No. 10.
