Franco van der Merwe scored a last minute try as the Lions beat the Sharks 22-20 at Ellis Park, writes GRANT BALL.
While the grounding of the ball in Van der Merwe's score was dubious, you couldn't say the Lions didn't deserve to win. Sharks fans who complain about the try will also be well served to remember Lwazi Mvovo's second score, which shouldn't have been allowed.
Earlier the Lions suffered the worst possible start when Mvovo cantered over in the second minute, while in the same movement the hosts' hooker Martin Bezuidenhout threw a punch and was yellow carded. Leading 5-0, playing against 14 men and exuding ultimate confidence in the try-scoring movement where they ran from their own 22, the odds were in the Sharks' favour.
However, the Lions outscored the visitors 3-0 in that 10-minute period via an Elton Jantjies penalty. It's been repeated throughout the season how different this Lions outfit is compared to the Super 14, but it can't be emphasised enough. With the numerical advantage, on one occasion the Sharks pounded away for 19 phases at the Lions line and also exhibited brilliant offloading, but the Lions wouldn't relent.
That theme continued for the rest of the half as the Sharks had all the possession, but the Lions' cover defence and turning over ball at the breakdown was outstanding. After another multi-phase Sharks attack, a dropped pass fell into the hands of a Lions player 5m from their own line. The hosts countered rapidly, another feature of their play this season, and with Jannie Boshoff feeding Jaco Taute, the fullback finished off under the poles.
The Sharks replied through Mvovo's brace, and even though the visitors had dominated possession, they were lucky to head into the shed level at 10-all. Mvovo again showed impressive pace and strength, but he had clearly placed a foot out in the build-up, but the assistant referee inexplicably missed the act.
Jantjies, who had been in exemplary goal-kicking form before last week's match against the Bulls, also missed three penalties at goal, while Lambie hit the upright with an easy conversion for the first try.
In the first fixture between the sides at Kings Park the Sharks' similar first half onslaught also didn't yield results on the scoreboard, but eventually the defending took its toll on the Lions as they conceded 50 points. However, that didn't look like repeating itself when they took a five-point lead when Waylon Murray scored against his former side after running an incisive angle to break the line.
But the impact of having to make 100 tackles in just 55 minutes eventually told when Odwa Ndungane benefited from quick ruck ball to score his side's third try. Lambie nudged over his first kick of the match and then a penalty to hand the Sharks a five-point lead.
While the hosts had to defend in the opening half, the Sharks were forced into many tackles in the final quarter, while Ryan Kankowski's ill-discipline for stomping on a player saw him miss the final four minutes.
Poetically the Lions' inspirational captain scored in the final movement and while all his team-mates have showed improved resolve from earlier in the year, special mention must also be made of Josh Strauss, Jano Vermaak and Doppies la Grange.
The Lions face the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein and Pumas at home with their semi hopes still alive, while the Sharks versus Western Province match could prove vital in who tops the log.

About Bombino
Bombino's tour continues
As a now 34-year-old guitarist and singer from Niger, West Africa, Bombino remains an artist who continues to stand out in the crowd. In fact, critics and fans alike are raving over his ability to stay relevant in a field of musicians churning out the "desert blues."
Each of Bombino's three albums critics have called 'hard driving gems.' Most memorable was last year's "Nomad," which was Bombino's major-label debut on Warner Brothers imprint Nonesuch, produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. It landed on many year-end bests lists, including those from NPR, Rolling Stone, the CBC and iTunes.
Many will agree that Bombino sounds even better vocally as his career progresses, and he's been heralded for his work on the six-string compared to other blues artists like Tinariwen and Etran Finatawa. He recently told Rolling Stone, "I don't like to use a lot of effects or things like that, like a lot of guitarists. I like the pure, almost natural sound. It doesn't matter much which guitar I am playing. Now I play a Cort guitar that I really love. But usually I just plug it into the Fender amp and the sound that comes out is my sound."
Fans have had plenty of opportunities lately to hear Bombino live. He had a huge North American tour in 2014 that included stops at Coachella, New Orleans JazzFest, Austin Psych Fest, Tulsa Roots Music Bash and more. The live gigs rolled right through into 2015, so get your Bombino tickets now.
Bombino claims an international spotlight
Not many musicians have a story like that of Omara "Bombino" Moctar, a young Tuareg guitarist and songwriter raised during a time of armed struggles for independence and violent suppression by government forces.
Though the power of music, Bombino was said to have captured the spirit of the resistance. His guitar riffs have been compared not only to fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure, but also to rock and blues icons like Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page. And quickly, oh so quickly, he became a superstar in the Tuareg community thanks to the release of the 2011 album "Agadez." Just like that, Bombino became one of Africa's most revered young artists.
The success of his debut album pushed Bombino into the international spotlight. He next worked with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who began producing Bombino's sophomore album "Nomad." It was released by Nonesuch Records on April 2, 2013 and debuted at No. 1 on both the iTunes World Chart and Billboard World Chart.
Bombino began a concert tour of the United States in May 2013 which included stops at several major music festivals, including Bonnaroo and The Newport Folk Festival. He was also invited to open for Amadou & Mariam, Gogul Bordello and Robert Plant.
In 2014, Bombino has been tapped to play the Festival International de Louisiane alongside headliners like Radio Radio, the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars and Tinariwen. The Festival is officially scheduled for April 23 through April 27, though some events begin April 21.

Although recent Liberian elections have generally been pronounced free and fair by the international community, studies show that even more than a decade after the end of armed conflict, some voters vote out of fear and ignorance.

This, in turn, contributes to wider governance challenges and corruption. more >>

Over the years, we've amassed a wonderful collection of old and rare spirits. We've got some legendary bottles of single malt whisky, limited runs of small batch bourbon, vintage Irish whiskey and exclusive ranges that will have collectors everywhere chomping at the bit. A lot of what you will find here is whisky from closed distilleries, spirit that will never be made again. We've also got very limited run independent bottlings from now defunct whisky bottlers and special blends and blended malts.
You know what's happened here don't you! We created this page to display a selection of lovely items, and then we've gone and sold out of them and haven't yet updated the page. We're terribly sorry for this, and will do our utmost to have a whole mess of delicious new products on this page very soon.
Either that or this Colobus Monkey is to blame. Look at the guilty expression on his countenance. Look at it!

Dismantled (Paperback)
When Henry, Tess, Winnie, and Suz form the Compassionate Dismantlers in college, the first rule of their manifesto is, "To understand the nature of a thing, it must be taken apart." But their penchant for acts of meaningful vandalism and elaborate, often dangerous pranks results in Suz's death in the woods of Vermont—a tragedy the surviving Dismantlers decide to cover up.
Nearly a decade later, Henry and Tess are desperate to forget, but their guilt isn't ready to let them go. When a mysterious Dismantler-style postcard drives a past prank victim to suicide, it sets off a chain of terrifying events that threatens to tear apart their world and engulf their inquisitive nine-year-old daughter, Emma. Is there someone who wants to reveal their secrets? Or is it possible Suz has found a way to enact revenge?
Full of white-knuckle tension with deeply human characters caught in circumstances beyond their control, Jennifer McMahon's enthralling story proves that she is a master at weaving the fear of the supernatural with the stark realities of life.
About the Author
Jennifer McMahon is the New York Times bestselling author of Don't Breathe a Word, Dismantled, Island of Lost Girls, and Promise Not to Tell. She grew up in suburban Connecticut and graduated from Goddard College. Over the years, she has been a house painter, farm worker, paste-up artist, pizza delivery person, and homeless–shelter staff member, and she has worked with mentally ill adults and children in various capacities. She lives in Vermont with her partner, Drea, and their daughter, Zella.
Praise for Dismantled…
"Outstanding...By alternating the present-day lives with the origins of the Dismantlers, McMahon allows the inexorable sense of dread to build incrementally. Perhaps most memorable are not the young artists but Emma, a child whose intense imagination only adds fuel to the slow-burning fire."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A failed marriage. A long-buried secret. A lonely child's imaginary friend. From these simple ingredients, Jennifer McMahon has constructed a fun, twisty thriller. Expect DISMANTLED to earn comparisons to THE SECRET HISTORY."
-Stewart O'Nan, author of SONGS FOR THE MISSING
"One of the brightest new stars of literary suspense."
-Los Angeles Times (online)
"In her third, elegantly spooky mystery revolving around the vulnerability of a young girl and a haunting past, McMahon fashions a fresh and entrancing ghost-in-the-woods tale replete with startling psychoses, delectable Hitchcockian motifs, and dangerous attractions."
"McMahon's gift is the deliciously twisty way she subverts all your expectations, keeping you guessing with wry wit and feverish chills."

CENTENARY, Ohio —For the first time since 2010 the Gallia Academy soccer team has won the Holzer Cup.
The Blue Devils had 15 shots on goal Saturday en rout to a 3-1 victory over visiting Ohio Valley Christian.
Gallia Academy (4-7) junior Jacob Click scored the opening goal of the match in the 7th minute to put the hosts up 1-0. Isaiah Lester added a goal in the 20th minute to push the GAHS lead to 2-0.
Ohio Valley Christian (5-5-1) junior Evan Bowman got the Defenders on the board in the 24th minute off of the Phil Hollingshead assist. The score remained 2-1 in favor of Gallia Academy at halftime but just seven minutes into the second period Logan Carpenter extended the GAHS lead to 3-1 off of the Sammy Hemphill assist. Gallia Academy held on for the 3-1 victory.
The Blue Devils held a 17-to-8 advantage in shots and 15-to-5 advantage in shots on goal. Both teams earned a pair of corner kicks in the game. Marshall Hood had a game-high 12 saves for the Defenders, while Alex Greer had three and Caden Wilt had one save for GAHS.
Gallia Academy now owns a 5-3 mark in Holzer Cup games but this is the first regulation victory for the Blue Devils since defeating OVCS 2-1 in 2008.
GAHS also defeated Ohio Valley Christian on August 27, by a count of 6-1 in Gallipolis.

GASTONIA – South Point High is the winningest team in Gaston County Baseball tournament history, both in victories and titles.
But the unbeaten defending champion Red Raiders (11-0) have never won the tournament in back-to-back years.
On Monday afternoon, South Point opened its title defense with a 9-1 win over Ashbrook that featured a five-hit pitching performance from senior right-hander Aaron Biggerstaff.
"Obviously, whenever we play in this, we want to play well," said Red Raiders coach Jason Lineberger, who has guided his school to two of the last three championships. "But we've never won it back-to-back, so we know we have quite a challenge in front of us this week if we want to do that."
South Point advanced to Wednesday's 4 p.m. semifinal against Hunter Huss with the victory as Biggerstaff improved to 4-0, the Red Raiders' defense turned four double plays and South Point turned six hits, four walks, one hit batter and three errors into nine runs.
"Aaron pitched very well, we got some big double plays and we got timely hits," Lineberger said. "Our goal is to play our best every game out. I don't know if we did that today. The results were good, but we need to play better."
The Red Raiders scored once in the top of the first inning and never trailed, leading 7-0 before Ashbrook (3-9) broke up Biggerstaff's shutout bid in the sixth.
Derek Perry's one-out RBI double drove in Andrew Locklear with the game's first run. Locklear had drawn a one-out walk.
In the third, South Point scored two more runs, one on a wild pitch and the other on Mykel Davis' sacrifice fly.
In the fourth, the lead jumped to 7-0 on RBI singles by Dan Johnson and Perry and a two-base error on Davis' deep fly ball to center field.
Two fielding errors helped South Point tack on its final two runs in the seventh.
Johnson and Perry had two hits apiece to lead the Red Raiders' offense. Second baseman Perry was involved in all four double plays, with shortstop Aaron Mauldin and first baseman Davis being involved in three apiece and third baseman Locklear being involved with one.
Biggerstaff struck out six, walked two and allowed an unearned run in his complete-game pitching effort.
For Ashbrook, which is without three starters this week due a school chorus field trip, the contest was a chance for coach Josh Cobb to get some experience for his younger players.
"I knew coming that South Point would be a tough task," Cobb said. "I decided to let some JV players come up and they did a pretty good job."
Those three junior varsity players – two freshmen and a sophomore – started for the Green Wave, with one of the freshman starting at pitcher.
Gabe Brooks got the loss, but went four innings and yielded six hits, seven runs (five earned), four walks and a hit batter while walking two.
"I thought he did well for us out there," Cobb said of Brooks. "We probably could've made plays behind him to help minimize their runs."
Ashbrook now has a quick turnaround as it'll meet Bessemer City at 4 p.m. Tuesday in a loser's bracket semifinal.
"I want us to come out, get good pitching again, put the ball in play and hope our defense will be a little better," Cobb said.

Bruce Cochrane's successful year in business combats the old adage that you can't come home again.
The Lincolnton businessman made a gutsy decision in 2012 when he returned to his roots by starting up a furniture manufacturing business in his hometown.
Cochrane, CEO of Lincolnton Furniture, comes from a long lineage of furniture makers dating back to the early 20th century.
The Cochrane Furniture plant that once employed 1,000 people closed when the Cochrane family sold the business and its new owners moved the operation to China.
Cochrane started up Lincolnton Furniture this year, bringing operations back to the vacant Lincolnton factory previously owned by his family.
The first year has gone well, according to Cochrane.
"Things are going well. We've established a furniture line with different retailers around the country," said Cochrane. "We have had some difficulties with our startup… there's always need for additional capital."
The Lincolnton plant runs on one shift with about 50 employees.
Cochrane said the size of the work force has potential to grow along with demand.
Cochrane said he's most proud of the quality of the furniture being produced in his family's former stomping grounds.
When operations moved overseas, manufacturers were attracted to the production because of inexpensive labor. But with the cheap construction, comes an inferior product, according to Cochrane.
Cochrane said his factory produces quality traditional, residential furniture.
"To buy Lincolnton furniture you're buying a piece of the best furniture in the world," he said.
Lincolnton Furniture also embraces the green approach, according to Cochrane. The process uses sustainable hardwoods with water-based finishes which are environmentally friendly, he said.
Cochrane said he also sees his company expanding its line – possibly adding the production of upholstered furniture and a variety of construction techniques that could offer a wider range in pricing.
Cochrane said he's proud to bring business back to his hometown.
His individual business decision is part of a national trend of "reshoring," a reverse migration of
Cochrane's actions garnered attention from President Barak Obama in early 2012. He met the president during a conference on in-sourcing, and he sat with first lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union speech.
Cochrane said he's never voted for a Democratic president, but he was honored by the experience.
"It was very much an honor to have the opportunity to meet the president and the first lady and to visit the White House," he said. "Although our politics are different… She was friendly and beautiful, and he was engaging."
Cochrane said 2012 is only the beginning of what he sees as a leap forward in American manufacturing.
"I think there's going to be a lot of opportunity for manufacturers in North Carolina. I'm encouraged by that," he said.

Mounted on a camera with an APS-C sensor, a 35mm lens corresponds to a 53.5mm mounted on a 24*36mm film camera. This focal is very popular and it's designed to excel on portrait and landscape. We could say this 35mm might be the only lens you need for your Pentax.
Let's have a look on how it performs on a Pentax K5...
On the new Pentax K5, this lens has a superb performance, achieving 15 points on the DxOMark score. Looking further, the DxOMark map remains green for almost all apertures up until f8. This indicates that coupled with a Pentax K5, it will produce excellent image quality on even the most difficult conditions.
Distorsion, vignetting and chromatic aberration are very well controlled.
On the other hand, the resolution, especially at the center (see the comparison below) is not as good as we had expected. The Pentax 35mm f2.4 Al is a good choice for every photographer and also a good value for money.
Let's see how this lens mounted on the Pentax K5 performs in comparison with its main competitor: the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G mounted on Nikon D5000 (please, remember to change the body type).
The full comparison is available here: Pentax smc 35mm f2.4 AL vs Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G
On the DxOMark score the Nikkor 35mm achieves 19 points versus 15 points for the Pentax lens; a gap of 4 points is enough to be noticeable. The gap is easily explained by the wider aperture available on the Nikkor 35mm which will help in low light conditions.
On resolution, users will have a choice: those who want homogeneity in the field will prefer the Pentax SMC 35mm f2.4 on the other hand those who care about resolution and detail will probably choose the more resolved lens-body combination of a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G on a D5000.
Pentax smc 35mm f2.4 AL vs Sony 35mm F1.4 G
These lenses were recently tested and the full comparison is available here:
Pentax smc 35mm f2.4 AL mounted on Pentax K5 vs Sony 35mm F1.4 G mounted on A350 (please, remember to change the body type).
At first sight this comparison may seem unfair due to the nature of these camera bodies; hence we will have to wait for the latest Sony Cameras test (Sony A580, Sony SLT A55 and Sony SLT A33).
Pentax smc 35mm f2.4 AL mounted on Pentax K5 vs Carl Zeiss Distagon T 35mm f/2 ZF2 Nikon mounted on Nikon D7000 (please, remember to change the body type).
Pentax smc 35mm f2.4 AL mounted on Pentax K20D vs Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM Canon mounted on Canon EOS 500D (please, remember to change the body type).
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Add this to the list of reasons we're obsessed with Hannah Simone (aka Cece): she's a hard-core beauty nut and willing to dish.
Because she gets highlights ("you need the dimension when you're on TV") and is heat-styled a lot on set, "I've learned to take extra good care of my hair," Hannah says. This hydrating duo by Oribe has "made a world of difference."

Workers in strenuous jobs not exempt from fast
Dubai People engaged in work that is of a strenuous and demanding nature do not fall under the category of those exempt from fasting, according to the latest of the Ramadan series of fatwas issued by the Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD).
The fatwa goes on to say, however, that it is permissible for such a person to break their fast during the day if forced by the tough nature of their job — provided the missing day of fast is compensated for later.
It added that if people working in a hard and demanding environment or job do feel compelled to break their fasts, they should do so with just enough food and water to tide over the need of the moment, and refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day until Iftar.
If there is no such necessity then it is obligatory to complete the fast.
This is what is indicated by the Sharia evidence from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah, the IACAD said, and it is what is indicated by the words of the scholars of all madhhabs.
The fatwa also declared that breaking or keeping the fast depends on the level of hardship.
If a person deems it to be beyond his power, he may end his fast, provided he makes up for the missed days after Ramadan.
The fatwa went on to suggest that those in positions of authority over people performing demanding work, should try to work out a different schedule during Ramadan.
This would be a step to reduce the burden on those workers and decrease the possibility of them being forced to end their fast.
Top Headlines
I am always concerned that a decision is made as in this case, without any sound references other than that "scholars have said this or scholars have said that. Either you are fasting or you are not. If you are not fasting, you can eat and drink whatever and whenever you like -- but definitely following the Sunnah of not overeating. It is best, however, to be polite in the company of those who are fasting and avoid crowds (eat privately), not talk about the food, etc.
Ramadan Kareem.

Past Research
The Acquisition of Subjects in English, Russian and Polish
This project investigates the well known phenomenon of subject omision in early child language. The goal of the project is to find out whether the degree of overt subject expression in the target grammar of a language influences the pathways children take to learn this category.
It is well established that children leave out many elements in their early utterances. In this project, we focus of the omission of subjects. Early omission of subjects seems to happen in all languages independent on whether subjects are obligatory as in English or not as for instance in Polish.
In this project we investigate how children learn the use of subjects in three languages differing in their obligatoriness of the expression of subjects. The languages are: English, Russian and Polish. Concerning their obligatory expression of subjects these three languages can be ordered on a scale. English expresses subjects obligatorily and allows pro-drop only in very restricted contexts. Whether Russian is a so-called pro-drop language has been hotly disputed and the answers depend strongly on the theory chosen. However, it is clear that Russian allows pro-drop in a wide variety of contexts and the use of overt subjects is pragmatically determined. In Polish, the third language of our sample, pro-drop is assumed to be even more prevalent than in Russian and pro-drop is even obligatory in many contexts.
In this project we investigate the use of subjects in longitudinal child language corpora of the three languages. We compare the development in the children's use over time within a language and across languages. The goal is to find out whether language-specific differences play a role right from the beginning of language acquisition. The results of the children will also be compared to the input provided by the respective caregivers to judge when the children start to behave like adult native speakers.

Tuesday, November 5, 2013
DREW BARRYMORE and her husband Will Kopelman are expecting their second child, according to her rep. There's no word how far along she is, but she was photographed with a little bit of a bump on Sunday. Drew and Will have a 13-month-old daughter named Olive. Drew is 38 years old.
Miley Cyrus was caught making out with BENJI MADDEN from GOOD CHARLOTTE last thuusday. And now, some photos emerged yesterday of Miley, Benji and their crew leaving the Halloween party they were at . . . and Miley's holding a bottle of something, and it looks like a bottle of rum. One of Miley's friends has a bottle of Jack Daniels. Miley doesn't turn 21 until the 23rd of this month. Meanwhile, there's another picture from that night going around the web, in which ADAM LAMBERT seems to be handing Miley a funny-looking cigarette. Was it a joint? Adam won't say.
Some British plastic surgeon decided to pick a fight with J-Lo's face on Twitter. He posted supposed "before and after" photos of JENNIFER LOPEZ and said, quote, "These before and after pics of J-Lo show many signs of plastic surgery . . . naturally pretty but now looks amazing." Jennifer did NOT let it stand. She replied, quote, "Sorry Sir, but I have never had plastic surgery of any kind.
Jon Gosselin says his kids are developmentally behind and damaged from growing up on TV. Jon appeared on Oprah Winfrey's "Where Are They Now?" He said that "Jon and Kate Plus 8" destroyed his marriage, his reputation, his career and his children.

11/4/13 Justin Bieber in Whorehouse
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, November 4, 2013
JUSTIN BIEBER was spotted leaving a WHOREHOUSE in Rio de Janeiro on Friday. He was trying to hide under a blanket. He and a friend brought some girls with them back to his hotel. The following night he ended a concert early after someone hit him with a water bottle.
As a rights-holder to KURT COBAIN'S estate, COURTNEY LOVE has a certain amount of power. Power that she's apparently NOT using to her best advantage. She says, quote, "I still get hit on by guys because they want to be cast in that Kurt Cobain biopic that's been in production for years. I could give you some [actors'] names that would blow your mind, but I am so not sleeping with someone under 38."
KENDALL JENNER turned 18 yesterday . . . and the PORN OFFERS are already rolling in. According to TMZ, at least SIX companies are offering Kendall BIG MONEY to become famous the way her big sister KIM KARDASHIAN did. One company, Bangyoulater.com, is offering $1.8 MILLION for Kendall and a partner of her choosing to get it on for them.

Friday, November 1, 2013
ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART spent some time together on Wednesday. Kristen pulled into Pattinson's gated community in her pickup truck in the afternoon. She left about three hours later. Rob and Kristen broke up in May, after Kristen had an affair with her "Snow White" director.
DEMI MOORE and ASHTON KUTCHER have settled their divorce, two years after they split up. Demi wanted spousal support on the grounds that Ashton was unfaithful . . . although it was probably a REVENGE thing more than anything else, since Demi is reportedly worth $150 million on her own. She didn't get it, because California is a no-fault state. But sources say Ashton was, quote, "more generous than he had to be" when it came to splitting up the marital assets.
Michael Douglas was wearing his wedding ring at the premiere of his new movie this week. Sources say he's back with estranged wife Catherine Zeta-Jones. Michael was overheard telling pals that the two have reconciled. Catherine has reportedly moved back in to the couple's Central Park West apartment, and the two are fighting hard to keep the marriage alive.
JUSTIN BIEBER paid tribute to CHRIS BROWN in GRAFFITI. On a wall in Bogota, Colombia, he spray-painted "Free Breezy". But he wasn't breaking the law. Apparently, tagging is LEGAL where he did it. Meanwhile, Justin's dad is living large in an $850,000 house in Ontario that JUSTIN bought for him. Sources say Justin wanted to make sure his half-brother and half-sister grew up in a nice home, so he sprang for it.
10/31/13 Lindsay Lohan Back on the Sauce?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, October 31, 2013
Whether it's surgery, better health regimens, or Photoshop, celebrities are a lot more well-preserved than they used to be. It's to the point where we forget just how old some of these people are. Check out some surprising facts that'll force it to sink in for you . . .
At 52, George Clooney is a year older than Wilford Brimley was when "Cocoon" was released.
At 71, Harrison Ford is two years older than Burgess Meredith was when "Rocky" came out.
At 65, Samuel L. Jackson is two years younger than Jack Lemmon was when he did "Grumpy Old Men".
At 59, Denzel Washington is a year younger than Andy Griffith was when "Matlock" premiered.
At 54, Tom Cruise is the same age as Tommy Lee Jones when he did "Men In Black".
At 51, Demi Moore is the same age as Rue McClanahan when "The Golden Girls" debuted.
Celebrity chef GUY FIERI got into a wicked fight with his HAIRDRESSER after they landed at the airport in San Francisco. Guy was inside an SUV and the hairdresser was on the outside. He was throwing punches at Guy through the open door . . . swearing and CRYING the whole time. Guy was throwing kicks back at him. A source says it was just a drunk thing that escalated, and they're fine now.
LINDSAY LOHAN has been hitting clubs again. And while nobody's caught her drinking yet, people close to her say she has definitely slid back into old habits. One source saw Lindsay at a party in L.A. last week, and says, quote, "She was definitely drinking alcohol. She got increasingly sloppy as the hours went on. At one point Lindsay was literally hanging on to a couple of her friends, like they were holding her up."
The paparazzi asked CONRAD MURRAY how MICHAEL JACKSON would feel about people blaming him for Michael's death . . . and he had the STONES to say that Michael would be, quote, "absolutely appalled." He also said that Michael would probably tell all his fans who are judging Murray to, quote, "take a look in the mirror."
10/30/13 Will & Jada Split
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
LADY GAGA has been named "Glamour" magazine's Woman of the Year. She tells the magazine she's, quote, "Not conventionally beautiful" . . . but she adds, quote, "I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music.
A new biography on JACK NICHOLSON that hit stores yesterday claims that Jack and MERYL STREEP were DOING IT on the set of the 1987 movie "Ironweed". BIG TIME. The book says, quote, "Often during shooting, his Winnebago seemed to be balanced on four overworked Slinkys." The book also quotes an old newspaper gossip item from 1987 that said, quote, "Whatever is going on inside that Winnebago it's starting to get out of hand, to the point where it's embarrassing a lot of people on the set"
CHRIS BROWN is going to rehab. His rep says, quote, "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are reportedly living apart in what's being called a trial separation. The two haven't been seen in public in more than two months and sources say Jada recently moved in with her brother. The couple is seeing how being separated works out and it might be permanent.
Kanye West is lobbying to get Kim Kardashian her first Vogue cover. He said, "There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now." He went on, "And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."

At 15, Snohomish boy is an inventor, CEO, 'Tonight Show' guest
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Fresh off an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Suman Mulumudi, 15, is back in his home office Monday in Snohomish running StratoScientific. Mulumudi developed the Steth IO, a combination of hardware and software that can monitor the heart by using a smartphone.
Photo courtesy StratoScientific
The Steth IO
Suman Mulumudi, 15, of Snohomish, demonstrates the capability of the Steth IO on �The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon� last week.
Suman Mulumudi, 15, showed off the digital stethoscope he invented on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" last Thursday.
Mulumudi, a freshman at Lakeside School in Seattle, is developing that device and another medical tool he invented last summer. The teen is the CEO of his own company, StratoScientific Inc.
Suman traveled to New York to tape the show's regular segment called "Fallonventions," which showcases the achievements of young inventors. He used his Steth IO, which turns a smartphone into a stethoscope, to listen to Fallon's heart.
"He's a nice guy," Suman said. "He's very much a person. That's something we often overlook when we look at public figures." Suman received $5,000 for his appearance.
The Steth IO is designed to provide audio and visual data that can help doctors hear faint heart murmurs. It builds on capabilities already available in smartphones, employing a simple plastic attachment that feeds into a smartphone's own microphone.
He also invented the LesionSizer. The device is intended to help doctors clear blocked or narrowed arteries with stents by providing accurate measurements of the damaged tissue, or lesions.
"Right now, it is being done by estimating," Suman said. "That can be a huge issue."
The tool is expected to provide more accurate information to help surgeons to do a better job treating blockages with angioplasty. Mulumudi hopes to reduce medical costs with both of his cardiology devices.
"Most of these ideas came as a product of discussions of problems I face at work," said his father, Dr. Mahesh Mulumudi. "He came up with the solution."
Mahesh Mulumudi works as a cardiologist with The Everett Clinic. And Suman's mother, Dr. Srilatha Shoroff, practices internal medicine there.
"In the environment I'm growing up in, I hear a lot about their work," Suman said.
He started asking his parents questions about their methods. During his summer vacation last year, he started thinking about the stethoscope.
"It's a very analog device," Suman said of present technology. "It seemed like a big gap in medicine."
Suman went to work designing a digital version. He built it from off-the-shelf parts, using a 3D printer. Once he had his first prototype completed, he started developing the LesionSizer. By last November, he was creating his own startup company.
Now he's looking for investors, working on patenting the devices and seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. He's also studying the potential commercial market for the devices.
Suman estimates the Steth IO is about a year from being manufactured. He doesn't expect to bring the LesionSizer to market for a few years.
He focuses on developing his products in the evening after he finishes school and homework.
"I think hard work pays off," Suman said.
He is growing his company, which involves his father, as president, and an engineer with a background in various technology industries.
In his spare time, Suman enjoys playing the bassoon. He's not sure where he wants to go to college, but he does plan to follow his entrepreneurial interests.
Once he launches his medical devices in the U.S., Suman hopes to bring them to Europe and the developing world.
"They're both showing extreme promise for being able to solve problems," he said. "We hope to better patient outcomes."

Intracranial aneurysms are present in up to 4 percent of the population. These potentially dangerous vascular lesions are being detected with increasing frequency in asymptomatic patients by advances in noninvasive imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Appearing like blisters on the wall of the brain's blood vessels, aneurysms develop when the blood vessel's native repair ability is exceeded by the mild, but constant, injury created by flowing blood under high pressure. The five most common risk factors for developing an aneurysm are: smoking, female gender, high blood pressure, middle age and family history.
Intracranial aneurysms are complex lesions that require a highly specialized, multidisciplinary approach that is individualized for each patient. Key members of the care team for these patients include endovascular neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons with special expertise in aneurysm surgery and neuroanesthesiologists. Availability of dedicated neurocritical care units is an essential care component. A consensus recommendation by these specialists may include close observation, obliteration of the aneurysm with a surgical clip, or filling the vascular outpouching with filamentous coils that are introduced by endovascular microcatheters via an artery in the leg. This latter process is called "coiling."

Women's Soccer Inks Ten to Lady Falcons Soccer Program
March 18, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University head coach of womens soccer Elijah Denton announced the signing of ten new student-athletes on Thursday afternoon to enter Pfeiffer in the fall of 2010. The Lady Falcons will welcome in Camilla Alfredsson (Karlstad, Sweden), Hanna Holmstrom (Bredaryd, Sweden), Amanda Wemple (Hayden, ID), Megan Weston (Olathe, KS), Sarah Yates (Fort Myers, FL), Serae Mele (Rio Rancho, NM), Mariah Martinez (League City, TX), Kayla Weddington (Harrisburg, NC), Rebekka Glass (Denver, NC) and Joi Chrishon (Fayetteville, NC) in August.
Alfreddson enters as a midfielder who can play many positions on the pitch. Out of Alvkullegymnasiet High School, Alfreddson has been playing with the Swedish National Team, playing in the quarterfinals of the Gothia Cup which is the biggest youth tournament in the world. Alfredsson excels in the classroom with a 3.7 grade point average with an interest in journalism and marketing. Alfredsson is a fast and strong addition to the Lady Falcons playing in multiple positions.
Holmstrom, 5'7'', comes in from Finnvedens Gym in Sweden as a strong passer and up front defender in the midfield. Holmstrom brings a 3.9 GPA to Pfeiffer with an interest in International Relations and/or Political Science.
Wemple flies east to Misenheimer from Hayden, Idaho as a successful goalkeeper at Coeur d'Alene High School. Wemple lettered for three years in varsity soccer earning the team's most valuable player award during her junior season in which the Vikings took home a state championship. The incoming freshman is a two-time defensive player of the year award winner on the field and off. Wemple is a member of the Renaissance Club and a President's Award winner for her academics inside the classroom.
Weston transfers into Pfeiffer from Johnson County Community College, originally out of Olathe, Kansas.
