|The land application of livestock wastes is a significant potential contributor of environmental hormone contamination. Hormones from land-applied wastes have been detected in field runoff and in downstream surface waters. Contamination risks are especially significant when, "…manure is applied to areas where the majority of stream water derive from drainage water…" (Kjaer et al., 2007). "In areas where manure application is intensive, estrogens have been found in surface waters in concentrations known to affect the endocrine system of fish and amphibians… how the estrogens reach the surface waters is unclear…" (Laegsdmand et al., 2009). Environmental estrogen exposure is linked to reproductive maladies and altered sex characteristics in wildlife and to reproductive disorders and a variety of cancers in humans. Previous study findings indicate that it is very difficult to predict fine scale transformation or degradation rates of hormones across complex agricultural landscapes. This study identifies important fine scale chemical processes and broad scale transport mechanisms and uses a simple model of runoff from CAFO land application fields in Missouri to identify surface waters most likely to be impacted by the hormones those wastes contain. A recent study finds that increased density of animal feeding operations correlate to increased hormonal activity in watershed stream reaches. In Missouri, increased hormonal activity may also be found in areas where CAFO facilities, their animals and wastes are concentrated.

Passages Ventura Addiction Treatment Center Celebrates Its Four Year Anniversary
Passages Ventura celebrates its four year anniversary on May 17, 2013.
Malibu, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2013
Passages Ventura, sister facility of the world renowned non-12 step Passages Malibu addiction treatment center, celebrates four years of treating thousands of clients for drug and alcohol dependency this May 17, 2013.
Founded by father and son team Chris and Pax Prentiss, Passages Malibu opened in 2001 and was the first substance abuse rehab center to offer an alternative model of addiction treatment. After eight years of unparalleled success at the Malibu location, the Prentiss´s decided to open Passages Ventura in the quaint beach city of Port Hueneme, California in 2009.
The Prentiss´ modeled the Passages program after the holistic treatment methods that ultimately worked for Pax after numerous failed attempts at AA and 12 step treatment centers. He is now the CEO of both Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura and has been sober for 12 years due to the Passages method. "The treatment at our Ventura location is the same as our Malibu facility – customized therapy, a completely holistic approach, and the philosophy that addiction is not a disease," said Prentiss.
Since its inception, Passages Ventura has grown rapidly and achieved numerous milestones. "This anniversary is extremely significant because it symbolizes our continued dedication to high-quality, patient-centered care, and also our commitment to providing affordable, accessible treatment," explained Prentiss. "Our Ventura facility offers far more one-on-one therapy than all other similarly priced treatment centers, resulting in an excellent value and a priceless return for our clients."
Passages Ventura maintains an average census of 60 clients and offers three unique treatment programs, a complete medically supervised detox, and an expert full-time staff of addiction treatment professionals. Upon entering Passages Ventura, each client receives a team of 6-8 therapists and complete access to the facility, which boasts a fitness center, lounge areas, and over 12 unique treatment modalities, including the newest addition of art therapy.
Shortly after opening, Passages Ventura earned the coveted JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) accreditation, which has only been given to 6% of the nation´s behavioral health treatment programs. Passages Malibu holds the same accreditation. "Our continued success is due to the fact that we ensure the highest quality in everything from our facilities and amenities to our medical procedures and accreditations," said Prentiss.
While reflecting upon the last four years, Prentiss proudly acknowledges Passages Ventura´s many achievements. "I know there is no limit to Passages Ventura´s continued growth," he said "We look forward to many more anniversaries so we can continue to help thousands more people permanently overcome their addictions. We´re just getting started."
At Passages Malibu – Addiction Ends Here
About Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura:
Father and son team Chris and Pax Prentiss founded Passages Malibu in 2001. Its second location, Passages Ventura, first opened its doors in 2009. The two drug & alcohol abuse treatment centers offer an alternative to the 12 step/AA model of addiction treatment by utilizing a holistic program that focuses on the underlying issues of substance dependency, rather than attributing addiction to an incurable disease. Both Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura accept insurance.
Passages Malibu was named the #1 treatment center in the world by Healthcare Global, one of the "Most Luxurious Places to Dry Out" by Forbes magazine, and the Huffington Post recently acknowledged Passages as a center that "caters to a high-end crowd, with many CEOs, entrepreneurs and high-powered professionals among its clients."
The co-founders are also authors of an acclaimed series of addiction treatment books, including their groundbreaking, flagship title, The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure. For general inquires about treatment, contact: 866-233-1753.

- The Office of Management and Budget is calling for a 10 percent reduction in information technology spending for fiscal 2014. That would take it down to 2006 levels. In guidance issued Friday, the White House said reductions should come from infrastructure, commodity products and business systems. OMB reiterated its emphasis on cloud computing, shared services and customer service improvement. More than talk, OMB told agencies to send in detailed reports on what they'll cut. (Federal News Radio)
- Two federal employees are serving suspensions for violating the Hatch Act's prohibitions on politicking while on duty. A technology specialist at the Social Security Administration has agreed to take six months' unpaid leave. His crime? He hosted a fundraiser and coordinated volunteers for local campaigns while at work.

It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.
When people get to know me, they always tell me I'm not at all what they expected. I enjoy being myself and if I defy stereotypes in the process, so be it. I believe that life is all about experiences and I'll try anything at least once. I'm passionate about creating positive energy and building better environments to live in. I am a spiritual person and believe that we attract the energy we put forth into the Universe. I enjoy attending concerts and listening to music, singing, staying fit and being outdoors. My music tastes are rather varied but I seem to gravitate towards artists with an electronic, post-punk or 80s New Wave sound. I won't turn down a live jazz performance. I recently got back into playing tennis and have taken up painting as a hobby. When fall rolls around I become pre-occupied with English Premier League football and what we know as football (more college than pro) but admit I've become a fair-weather fan when it comes to other sports. I don't want to say who I'm looking for because it's too limiting. Drop me a line if you think we have some positive energy to share.

Officers from the California Highway Patrol found more than they bargained for when they stopped to help a disabled pickup truck on the 210 freeway Sunday morning.
Around 12:35 a.m., the CHP officers stopped to help the driver of a 1991 Nissan Frontier truck that was blocking the #2 lane of the eastbound 210 Roxford Street offramp.
Approaching the vehicle, officers noticed a strong smell of marijuana emitting from the vicinity of the vehicle. Further investigation revealed five large plastic garbage bags filled with nearly 75 pounds of marijuana in the bed of the pickup.

The driver, Luis Reyna of San Bernardino, was arrested and booked at LAPD Van Nuys Division on suspicion of transportation of marijuana. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Editorial: The responsibilities of county school board members justify pay hike of some amount
A salary increase for Shelby County Schools board members would be justified. The big question is: How much should it be?
A proposal by County Commissioner Mike Ritz to raise the pay for the alleged part-time job from $4,200 a year to $25,000 was approved 4-3 in a commission committee meeting Wednesday. The school board chairman would make $26,000. Nine of the 13 commissioners would have to approve the hike.
We say "alleged" part-time job because school board members do more than attend board meetings, which take up a good deal of their time. They regularly deal with constituents and the job requires a lot of research so they can knowledgeably vote on issues that impact the administration of schools and the education of students. Kind of sounds like the same thing commissioners and Memphis City Council members do for $29,100 a year.
The other argument for the increase is that higher pay will attract a higher quality of school board candidates. That sounds good on its surface, but experience has shown and is showing that the higher pay for council members and commissioners has not kept some less than stellar and embarrassing legislators from serving on those bodies.
Realistically, though, the timing on this could not be worse. The merger of Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools into a unified county school district cost hundreds of jobs in the new district's central office. Privatization of some services, such as custodial, pushed some of those employees into lower-paying jobs.
Is it right to give board members a $20,800 jump in pay in light of the job cuts? That is a question the County Commission is scheduled to decide at its regular meeting Monday.
We think board members are due a pay hike of some kind as a way to acknowledge and properly compensate them for a very difficult job — one that impacts thousands of SCS employees, thousands of parents and the children who attend SCS schools.
There is no issue more important in Memphis and Shelby County right now than education. It is extremely important to have qualified school board members in place who can work together and with SCS administrators to put policies in place that ensure students are being taught by the best teachers, and that every public education dollar is spent efficiently and effectively.
Higher pay is not guaranteed to draw better candidates to the job. The best candidates are those truly attracted to public service, regardless of the salary.
Commissioners inclined to reject any salary increase for school board members, though, should keep this thought in mind: Board members basically perform the same kind of duties as commissioners. If they do not deserve a pay hike, does that mean a reduction in the commissioners' salaries should be considered?

EVGA GTX 460 768MB Superclocked Single & SLI Review
Our initial impressions of the GTX 460 768MB were extremely positive since it offers amazing performance for a card that is priced at around $200. But what happens when you combine two of them together and then add a bit of EVGA's Superclocked goodness? Will this combination prove to be a match for higher-end cards like the GTX 480? Let's find out!

Following today's cuts, the Rangers have announced the roster for tomorrow's preseason kickoff against the Devils (per Katie Strang).
Forwards: Arron Asham, Brian Boyle, Ryan Bourque, Marek Hrivik, Chris Kreider, Danny Kristo, Brandon Mashinter, Dominic Moore, Rick Nash, Shawn O'Donnell, Darroll Powe, Brad Richards
Defense: Marc Staal, John Moore, Justin Falk, Aaron Johnson, Michael Del Zotto, Stu Bickel (if Bickel isn't healthy, then Dylan McIlrath will play)
Goalie: Henrik Lundqvist, Cam Talbot
My guess is that Kreider, Nash, and Richards will skate on a line together, since they skated together during today's scrimmage. Same goes for Staal and Del Zotto. The other players are likely playing to earn more training camp time. Keep an eye on Bourque, Hrivik, and McIlrath (if he plays).

Elizabeth Warren is Mad — But Isn't Running for President

John McCain is a DANCING MACHINE -- no seriously, he's like a fully functioning cyberdyne robot ... and this weekend he busted out his mechanical dance moves in front of Jamie Foxx at a party in the Hamptons. With The Roots providing the beat, the Arizona senator went into full "Zoolander" pop-and-lock battle mode on stage during a benefit at Ron Perelman's East Hampton estate. Jamie Foxx tried to mimic McCain's moves -- but the guy just couldn't keep up.
For a person who's not running for U.S. president in 2016, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren can deliver a heck of a stump speech. In a spirited and wide-ranging chat with Re/code co-founders Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at the tech publication's annual Code Conference, Warren repeatedly called for investment in the middle class, a constituency she said has been under-served for decades. Warren added that the U.S.

Khloe Kardashian did something totally bizarre for her family -- she covered up her entire face -- and still managed to stir controversy in the Middle East. Shortly after landing in Dubai ... Khloe posted a pic of herself wearing a niqab, and immediately got blasted for disrespecting the traditional garb. Of course, some fans saw it the other way, and defended her for doing the right thing in a foreign country.
Fifa has become embroiled in the biggest corruption case in its history. Its 2015 annual meeting was torpedoed by an early-morning raid on the host hotel, a separate raid on its headquarters, and the arrest of a string of officials and sports industry representatives. Nine officials were arrested in connection with a years-long investigation by US federal authorities, with seven detained at the five-star Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich, Switzerland.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter is a master of getting out from tight corners and his federation's initial reaction to Wednesday's extraordinary events in Zurich suggested he has every intention of pulling off another great escape. Soccer's governing body was thrown into disarray when several of its leading officials, including vice-president Jeffrey Webb, were arrested in a dawn raid at a luxury lakeside hotel.

By Justin BoronWhile students take an extra look at the achievements of blacks this month, Charles Grant, who has been a Clayton County community advocate for 40 years, says young people need to be inculcated into the future of diversity in the county. This month, which grew out of African Americans' absence from the history books, devotes extra educational hours and several memorials to broaden the spectrum of black's inclusion in history. But Grant, 77, said history no longer needs to be the larger emphasis for inclusion. "Things have changed. This is a new day," he said. Grant worked tirelessly in the 1950s and 60s to ensure that people in Clayton County were registered to vote. He said he saw too many people complaining without expressing themselves politically. That day has irrevocably changed. Clayton County has undergone a demographically-based political shift that has provided a new era for blacks in the community, he said. "That's not something we should abuse," Grant said. "We can no longer use the color of our skin as a crutch." He said blacks are obligated to use this empowerment to fulfill new destinies in their education and professions. "We need to have more black males going to college than incarcerated," Grant said. As an air conditioner salesmen and a substitute teacher in the 60s, he was leader in the civil rights movement and has carried his mission into the development of a community service organization aimed at helping the county's underprivileged. His work as director and founder of Clayton County Community Services Authority has brightened the horizon of many disadvantaged and minority individuals by affording them a platform of social services from which to jump to self-reliance. He has been honored for his work numerous times and was named after a future thoroughfare in the northern part of the county. Formerly Aviation Boulevard, the road will eventually wind from Interstate 75 to Interstate 675. Black History month guides the general public through the numerous, historical achievements of blacks. Grant said these outline the spirit behind the month, but should not become the focus. Instead, they should be used as examples of the direction of the black community and all of society should take. "In drawing attention and placing the spotlight on blacks, we have an opportunity," he said. "Instead of seeing what I can get out of society, ask what can I contribute to society," he said. Like many of the county's black politicians such as Eldrin Bell, he urged unity, saying the month of education about blacks should bring about more interaction between the community's diverse population.

A man who won the 2000 election on questionable grounds, then listened way too much to his cronies who he appointed to all the good positions. They told him that he should invade Iraq after about a month in Afghanistan because they secretly knew their oil stocks would sky rocket. He used scare tactics to win the 2004 vote, although John Kerry was not a good cadidate either. On a totally non-political basis, the man is wrecking America, whether or not he's smart enough to realize it. He's basically taken the United States and made it a bunch of beaurocratic red-tape bullshit because he doesn't understand that you can cover your ass with a Cold-War style CIA-cover up. He thinks you need to horseshit your way through life with half-truths instead of just not telling anybody anything. The path of the US in the future doesn't look too bright anymore.

Proof that voting in America can be rigged. Instigated the 9/11 attacks with his illogical foreign policies, and made the world hate America even more by starting an illegal oil war in Iraq. He has also succeeded in turning America from a once prosperous nation into a debt-ridden chaos.

He's our current president. I am a very Christian person and I hate the man. Yes, he's Christian but he doesn't seem to get separation of church and state. And I don't get how you could say abortions are a sensless waste of life yet send innocent people off to war and blow up people in an underdeveloped country for shady reasons. And I'm sick of the conservatives calling themselves 'normal people' and 'patriots'. I have a normal, boring life and I love my country, but I could never love GWB.
ignorance plain and simple.

"Is this really a Long-legged Buzzard?" was the question from Reinhard Hölzl, a friend and local photographer (check out Reinhard's website here) with two photos attached to the message (top and below). My gut said yes, Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) and everything I could tell from the photos and the books seemed to suggest so, but without seeing it flying and without any size references I really was not completely confident that I could exclude Steppe Buzzard (Buteo buteo vulpinus) and – evidently – the only record of Long-legged Buzzard in Tirol (western Austria) is from 1890! Dick Forsman's comments on the photos were as follows:
It really looks like a juv Long-leg! I am surprised to see that they occur as far north as this in mid-winter. Some Steppe Buzzards can be extremely similar on the underbody, but the following combination speaks strongly for a Long-leg: very pale iris, new and fresh lesser upperwing coverts extensively rufous with narrow dark shaft-streaks, apparently uniform outer tail-feathers (this can, however, be difficult to judge for sure from this angle). Also the very worn median and greater upperwing coverts speak for a dry, desert-like origin and an earlier breeding window compared to Steppe B. I think it is pretty safe to say, that no juv. Common Buzzard should have this coloration. Size would be important, but is of course impossible to assess from a picture.
Despite three days traipsing through snow in the area where the probably Long-legged Buzzard was seen, I have come up dry. Well, actually rather wet and cold, but without being rewarded with a great vagrant. But this whole Long-legged Buzzard thing has got me looking at our Common Buzzards more clearly. In the past couple of weeks we have suddenly gotten a great big invasion of buzzards, presumably from Germany and Scandinavia which have had hard, snowy winters thus far.
But the buzzards aren't everywhere evenly distributed. For example, the field around the village where I live has had few Common Buzzards recently, but yesterday the fields in the neighboring village had at least 20 buzzards on them, all in a very small area. Which lent itself to trying to photograph them. But the thing is, they are really surprisingly shy. A great big bus can drive within 4m of them going 80km/h, but don't even think about slowing the car down or walking up to them. The would flush at about 50m, so I was left hoping for flybys.
Now a much better idea would be to take up Reinhard's offer to use his camo photography tent, lay out bait and hope that some come by before my little toes freeze off (I've heard it said that Reinhard's motto is that 5hrs in a hide might just be 5mins too few…. The man has a great deal of patience and a great eye for creating images, something I really respect in him). In the meantime, I will have to make do with the odd flyby buzzard
and whatever else pays me a visit…
With my newly kindled interest in buzzards, I have started to really look at them closely and quickly grown to love the staggering diversity of plumage and shape they exhibit. Wonderful. Maybe you want to start looking at your Buteos a little more now?
Happy birding,

On the Washington Post's op-ed page, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Rep. Vin Weber, the chairman of NDI, argue that President Bush's goal of democracy in the Middle East is the right thing to do, and that the right way to make that happen is to honestly and forcefully encourage Arab leaders to substantively move toward democratic action, and support both the infrastructure and the independent media in the region. LINK
Bush agenda: domestic:
The Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Weiss details the Bush Administration's plan to help the fish farming industry expand into offshore federal waters as a way to lessen the dependence on imported seafood. LINK
The Washington Post's Juliet Eilperin has more details on environmentalists' concerns. LINK
ABC News/Washington Post poll:
Yesterday we brought you some of the headlines from the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll -- including the President's career-high 52 percent job disapproval rating, fueled in large part by the "corrosive effects of the war in Iraq" and the gap between what Americans say are their political priorities and what they see occupying President Bush and lawmakers in Washington. LINK
"Iraq is a major thorn," reports ABC News Polling Director Gary Langer. "With discontent over U.S. casualties at a new peak, a record 58 percent say the war there was not worth fighting. Nearly two-thirds think the United States has gotten bogged down in Iraq, up 11 points since March. Forty-five percent go so far as to foresee the equivalent of another Vietnam." In addition, 52 percent said they think the war on terror has not improved the long-term security of the United States, and 50 percent say they approve of the way the President has handled the war on terror.
And discontent has grown -- all around. Thirty percent of Americans say President Bush is doing a better job in his second term than in his first, and 54 percent -- a six-year high -- say they disapprove of the job Congress is doing. Neither party is faring well among voters either; 60 percent say President Bush and his party aren't making progress on the country's problems, and 53 percent say Democrats aren't focusing on the right issues either.
Speaking of those issues, 62 percent said they disapprove of how President Bush is handling Social Security, and Americans are split at about 50-50 on whether they support a stock market option in the retirement plan. Sixty-three percent said they don't think the President's plan helps the program's long-term stability.
In terms of 2008, Note particularly the favorable/unfavorable ratings of Sens. Hillary Clinton (51/46), and John McCain (57/32).
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank and Claudia Deane lead by focusing on Iraq, and Americans' perception that the U.S. is not safer because of it, and Note that they're getting impatient with the country's efforts there. LINK

Amongst the minigames there's plenty of traditional platforming gameplay. You can see that the developers have played plenty of "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker." This is not a complaint, on the contrary. The only real niggles are the lacking save points towards the end of the adventure and some of the bosses come up way too often. [July 2005, p.66]
Spectacular sequences include bombing foes as an eagle and battling in the midst of a buffalo stampede. Some tasks feel like players are being asked to jump through arbitrary hoops, but it is the occasionally wayward camera that will cause the most grumbles.
It's a mediocre N64 game in Dreamcast clothing on the PS2. It'll do OK for kids, but even platformer-loving adults should think twice before buying this. Play "Rayman 3" or "Mario Sunshine" again instead.

New Doctor Who Stage Show is Making Plans for Nigel
There is another Doctor Who stage show in the works, but Trevor Martin won't be returning for the title role. The Press Association reports the following:
The Press Association: 'TV hippy' in Doctor Who stage show:
"Actor Nigel Planer - best known for his role as TV hippy Neil in The Young Ones - is to take centre stage in the new live-action Doctor Who tour.
The hit BBC One show is being adapted for the stage in a nine-city arena tour which will begin next month with Daleks and Cybermen among the evil creatures which will be brought to life.
Now Planer has been unveiled as the star who will act as the production's lynchpin, starring as a travelling showman Vorgensen.

A Grand Celebration of 5 Years of Doctor Who: Podshock
This past Saturday, the 21st of August 2010 was not only our seasonal meet up on Second Life, it also marked the 5th anniversary of the Doctor Who podcast, Doctor Who: Podshock. (We used our last meet up last May to mark the 25th anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy).
People from all corners of the world came together to have fun and to meet Doctor Who: Podshock hosts, correspondents, supporters, and other Doctor Who fans. As usual, Victor led the much anticipated TARDIS tours, a staple of our meet ups on Second Life in which he takes a TARDIS load of people to other Doctor Who themed areas of Second Life. This time, he even allowed me to pilot a Jon Pertwee style TARDIS for one trip. It was very exciting indeed.
The TARDIS Tours took us to Who Island which had a replica of Stonehenge with 'underhenge' which we discovered the Pandorica (and it opened)! We also got to see the console room seen in this year's 'The Lodger' episode and as always the tour concluded in the Doctor Who Museum. The virtual museum chronicles all of Doctor Who throughout its long history.

A New World for Torchwood
As reported in Doctor Who: Podshock, the Doctor Who spin-off series, Torchwood is being relaunched in the US on the Starz network.
The HollywoodReporter.com has an article reporting that name of the rebooted series in the US is Torchwood: The New World. Like last year's acclaimed Torchwood: Children of Earth I would suppose. It is to be ten episodes which to my understanding are telling a story much the same way as Children of Earth did with its five episodes run.
'Torchwood' gets new title: 'The New World': "Starz' 'Torchwood' reboot will be titled 'Torchwood: The New World' and creator Russell T Davies gave some insight into the storyline.
The new story will follow a CIA agent (Rex) and analyst (Ester) who tackle an alien-related global issue. Torchwood, having been destroyed and disbanded, is 'like a legend now ... it's like something that's ceased to exist and is now spoken of only in whispers.' Soon, Rex and Ester are on the run and are seeking out the help of Captain Jack and Gwen.
The FOUR Doctors at last!
Ok, OK! so it's not a TV episode, but it's something I've been wanting after realising we've had every other combination of numbers of Doctors up to five, but not four. I would have written earlier about this but there was one FACT that was unclear. Yes it's free to subscribers but! which Doctor Who ranges would be included? and as far as I can make out it's the Monthly Doctor Who Range subscribers who get this little gem in their fists.
Big Finish has done this on a regular basis last year saw the release "An Earthly Child" a 8th Doctor and Susan tale, but unlike that release, Big Finish has said as of going to press that this adventure would never be released other than to Subscribers. Now I see three points here 1.) Big Finish would make an absolute wad of cash if they eventually released this for general sale. 2.) That they must make enough that they can "AFFORD" to do this, but in fact this is very nice present to their subscribers if it remains so. 3.) Internet piracy, maybe at some point this is going to end up on a torrent site. Great for those who don't want to subscribe but bad for Big Finish, as they may have lawyers but I doubt they have the clout of the BIG Music labels, and I personally would rather see the money going into Big Finish's pockets because this is quite literately how future productions are funded.
This Week In Doctor Who - July 24, 2010 (updated July 30)
This Week In Doctor Who and Torchwood This Week will not be producing a July 31 issue due to technical and travel issues. TWIDW and TTW will be back on August 7th. For most stations (particularly stations who made the information available), you should be able to extrapolate the Doctor Who and spinoff shows' schedules out to then from the July 24th edition.
July 31 would have been an interesting edition, since as far as I can determine, no countries on Earth were going to premiere new episodes of anything in the Doctor Who universes in the next week - we've all gone into repeats for the moment. But there were some developments of interest that I want to pass on:
The Dominators DVD Review
So after watching this DVD a couple of times a quick review. Of course I should be the one to tell you about this release, Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor being my favourite Doctor despite being born in the Time of Pertwee. This Story see's the Doctor land the Tardis on the Planet of Dulkis for a Vacation, on an Island that the Doctor has forgotten to check for Radiation. Meanwhile the Dominators have landed on the Island and are preparing a site for drilling supported by the Robotic Quarks.
Doctor Who: Series 31 to Hit Blu-ray and DVD on November 9th
One of our LA Correspondents (I can't say which just now) give me word early Monday morning of this article in the LA Times concerning the release of the Blu-ray and DVD of the latest series of Doctor Who (starring Matt Smith). We always suspected it would be November as that has been traditionally the release month of the series box sets in the past, just in time for the holiday shopping season. According to this article by from the LA Times, that date will be November 9, 2010.
In addition, they will include extra content shot for this release.
Were They Right? Gillian Anderson in Doctor Who?
The date was 23 April 2009. The Telegraph runs the following story about Gillian Anderson being cast as The Rani in Doctor Who (see link and quote below). Since that time we have seen a year of specials starring David Tennant and a whole new series starring Matt Smith. Where's Gillian Anderson? We are still waiting...

Apple has confirmed that a number of MacBook Pro laptops manufactured last month may contain faulty Nvidia graphics processors.
HP and Dell have also extended warranty periods for the laptops with the bad chips, and in some cases have offered free repair.
Apple essentially announced the same yesterday. "If the Nvidia graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within two years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty," the company said.
The company's hardware warranty is normally one year from the date of purchase, although customers can purchase extended support plans.
Perez said that the $196m charge Nvidia took two months ago would cover the additional cost of any reimbursement to Apple. "Yes, Apple falls under that amount," he said.
Both 15in and 17in MacBook Pro models are included in the potential free repair. The symptoms, said Apple, include no video, or distorted or scrambled video. Only MacBook Pros with the GeForce 8600M GT processor manufactured between May 2007 and September 2008 are affected, the company said.
However, all MacBook Pro models now for sale on Apple's online store still contain the GeForce 8600M GT processor.
Customers can take their laptops to an Apple retail store or authorised dealer for evaluation and repair, or call one of the company's support lines . Users who have already paid to have their MacBook Pro's video fixed will be issued refunds.
Last month, Nvidia was hit with a lawsuit that accused the company of violating US securities laws by concealing the existence of the chip defect.

Mumbai Indians top-order fired in one of the rare occasions as they put up a competitive 178 for three against Rajasthan Royals after a century-plus opening stand, in an IPL encounter in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Comeback man Mike Hussey (56) and Lendl Simmons (62) put on 120 runs for the opening stand, which incidentally was the first three-figure partnership for MI in 30 games.
The last time MI had a century stand was when Sachin Tendulkar and Dwayne Smith conjured 163 runs against the same opposition during the 2012 edition.
Hussey scored his runs in 39 balls with three fours and two sixes while Simons took 51 balls, which included six fours and two sixes.
Skipper Rohit Sharma showed his big-hitting prowess during a 19-ball cameo that fetched him 40 runs with three fours and four sixes. Rohit and a subdued Kieron Pollard (14 no) added 56 for the third wicket in five overs.
Hussey and Simons started cautiously trying to get a measure of the slow Motera track. Hussey, coming back to the team after a disastrous UAE leg, looked confident as he played some fluent drives and cuts peppering the in-field.
Simons also proved to be an able partner as he started slowly but picked up the pace as time progressed. Both ran well between the wickets converting a couple of singles into twos.
MI's opening stand yielded 50 runs in 6.4 overs with Simmons racing to 30.
When Faulkner dropped one short, Hussey was quickly on backfoot to pull it in front of square for a six.
Hussey's second six was a slog sweep off left-arm spinner Ankit Sharma into the mid-wicket stands.
Simons also joined the fun as he lofted an ultra-slow delivery from Rajat Bhatia into the deep mid-wicket stands while lofting Kevon Cooper over long-off for his second six.
Hussey was the first to reach the half-century of 32 balls while Simons took 43 balls to attain the individual landmark.
Their 100-run partnership, MI's first of the season came in the 13th over.
Royals drew the first blood immediately after the second strategic time-out as Ankit got both Simons (62) and Hussey (56) within a space of two deliveries--- both caught in the deep by Cooper.
Ankit ended with impressive figures of two for 23 in four overs.

Bill Nigh kicks Chuck Norris' ass before breakfast [ebaumsworld.com]
Now, just start one about FireFox
Firefox is so badass that it doesn't care what OS it runs over
Firefox invented the Internet
Firefox killed the blue screen of death
your turn
I certainly notice. I just the other day got - an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?
The real question is, will the firefox use a different tube than the explorer? And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. So I think people will know if they're using the one or the other.
Safari is good!
You obviously haven't used it.
Time and time again, even with ie8, they have shown themselves inept at producing quality, standards-oriented software.
Yeah, and the worst thing is that it sells so well.
Really? And when did you last buy IE?
it was windows 98, where internet explorer was removed and parts of it were replaced with parts of windows 95.
Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

We've had a tremendous response to our URL filtering feature so far and we wanted to thank all of our TAP, Beta and early adopting customers who have provided valuable feedback over the past year.
In anticipation of the Forefront TMG 2010 worldwide launch, all Microsoft Reputation Service (MRS) servers have been upgraded from Beta 3 to RTM to provide the best possible user experience we can provide. We encourage everyone to continue using the URL filtering feature by upgrading to the RTM version of Forefront TMG 2010.
Note that customers running Forefront TMG 2010 RC and RTM are unaffected by this change, and continue to receive URL filtering categorization from MRS.
A few points about the URL filtering.... latency in browsing caused by MRS queries are something I highly recommend MS address. You have a fantastic concept here in integrating URL filtering within the ISA rule base, and I only hope it's not ruined by latency. Bring as much of the URL DB as close to ISA as you can. Increase the URL caching TTLs - the vast majority of URL categorisation is static. Even do what many vendors do and run scheduled complete DB downloads to ISA. Please please please avoid MRS query latency interferring with a great solution. Thanks
As with accessing any Internet content, you might want to verify that name resolution and basic connectivity are working for you.
Not trying to say that the MRS service can't see problems (witness the B3 flail), but it's not always the service that's broken.
The TMG logs (and WinHTTP tracing) will help a great deal in sorting out the difference between MRS and connectivity problems.
