Most of the physical therapy patients Jeff Morgan works with daily have no idea about his past injuries.They're working on their own health problems, whether it's a high-schooler recovering from a knee injury or an adult with a repaired shoulder. The damage to the 29-year-old Morgan's right ear is internal, a complete hearing loss that is unnoticeable to the people he encounters. His artificial right eye, a tribute to its realistic design, doesn't always get anyone's attention. The long vertical scar on his neck, even partially hidden by a collared shirt, is tougher to hide, not that he tries. A few brave souls ask him what happened, allowing the former Marine time to tell about how his second tour in Iraq ended when an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded six feet from him and caused irreversible damage. "I have no problem talking about it," said the 2000 Brookwood grad, an intern at Sports Medicine South in Lawrenceville. "I think people are sometimes afraid to ask about it. But I have no problems talking about it. I've talked about it so much that I think I've dealt with it better than some other people with injuries have." That Morgan is even working with physical therapy patients is a miracle in itself. The roadside bomb did heavy damage to his upper body, but it could have been much worse if not for his close friend, Marine corporal Gary Koehler, who absorbed the bulk of the IED blast. Koehler died from that brutal explosion in Haditha, just after midnight on Nov. 1, 2006. A tattoo on his ribcage features that date and Koehler's name, and he stays in touch frequently with the Ypsilanti, Mich., native's family. He and his fellow Marines go to Koehler's Arlington Cemetery grave yearly to remember him. "(Koehler) was so close to me that he shielded me from a lot of it, so I'm probably standing here today because he was next to me," Morgan said. "We were just good friends. When you go through a lot of the things we went through, you become a lot closer. The camaraderie is amazing. We were just good friends. We're all real close. He was a great guy. I miss him." Morgan, touched so closely by years of witnessing war injuries, has changed his own life goals with an eye on helping others heal.A military pathA solid two-way player at Brookwood, Morgan had goals of playing college football until a horrible car accident (his mother perished in the crash) and broken femur derailed those plans. He still has a rod in his leg from the post-wreck surgery. He instead went to Georgia Southern as a regular student, but was prompted to join the military after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "We're extremely proud of Jeff," Brookwood assistant football coach Tom Jones said. "He's always been a very patriotic guy and 9-11 happened and he went and signed up. We obviously owe a great debt of gratitude to him and people like him. "He was always a hard-working kid in high school. I had him for weight training. He was a tough player, a good player. He always played hard and he was a real good team player." Morgan originally went through Navy SEAL training, graduating atop his boot camp class, but fell just short on a swimming test that eventually led him to the Marines. A 14-week medical course helped with his new path, helping him earn two Navy and Marines Corps Achievement Medals in June and September 2004 in his first Iraq deployment with a group that specialized in bomb detonation. Both of the medals were for administering medical treatment to fellow soldiers after his unit took heavy fire. He also took part in the famous U.S. takeover of Fallujah before he joined the legendary First Battalion, Eighth Marines, the Camp Lejeune-based group known as , and became a sniper. "I wasn't a hunter. I had never shot a gun before. Isn't that weird?" Morgan said. "It was just kind of natural for me to aim and shoot. There's more to it obviously. But the mechanics of shooting weren't difficult for me. A lot of people have trouble with breathing control and trigger control, trying to figure out range information, how far away a target is. But for some reason, it came easy to me." He spent three years on a variety of sniper missions, ranging from covering ships passing through the Suez Canal to tracking down insurgent targets in the Middle East. He also helped train snipers in Jordan and Pakistan, and regularly made his way through dangerous urban missions in Iraq.The IED attackOne of those missions came on Halloween night in 2006, when Morgan and his fellow Marines were summoned from Pakistan to Haditha, Iraq, for an anti-sniper objective. The sniper they trailed -- who had killed nine Marines with single-shot, head shots -- turned out to be a 6-foot-6, red-headed Chechnyan who operated by shooting from inside closed car trunks before the car drove away. The Marines tailed the enemy sniper in a cat-and-mouse game, eventually getting their guy. But it wasn't without loss, as Morgan was severely injured and his good friend was killed. The two were the point men of a six-sniper tandem, working out front with two pairs of Marines behind them, each group separated by 20 yards. Morgan and Koehler met in the center of the road to discuss which direction to walk, then began splitting off to their positions, Morgan on the left side of the road and Koehler on the right. They didn't make it back before the IED was detonated. "It went off and everything went white, the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life," Morgan said. "The only thing I remember after that is waking up. I don't know if it was five seconds later, a minute later. I imagine it was 30 seconds to a minute. I still had my earpiece in so I could hear my team leader calling our names. My helmet was gone and it was like my brain rebooted. "I'm laying on the left side on the ground, thinking, 'Why am I laying on the ground? Oh, I think I just got hit. I got hit by an IED.' Then you try and figure out, 'Are my feet there? Are my legs there? Are my legs bleeding? Are my arms bleeding?' I couldn't see anything. This (right) eye was half hanging out and this (left) one was swollen shut. My lips were all huge. My neck was bleeding pretty bad. That was the only thing I was kind of worried about." Morgan was dragged to a driveway between two walls by his team leader and radio operator, who began bandaging up the injured Marine. Morgan was the team's medic, repeatedly telling his friends not to administer morphine, as is protocol with massive hemorrhaging and head trauma, of which he had both. The Marines took Morgan to a nearby soccer field, but the helicopter couldn't land because the soldiers were under heavy fire. They took him inside of a building for nearly an hour before he was airlifted to Balad, where he underwent procedures to clean out shrapnel and remove his eye. He received additional treatment in Baghdad, spent two more weeks in Germany and eventually came back to Bethesda, Md., by Christmas in 2006. He spent a few weeks in a wheelchair because the ear damage threw off his equilibrium and it was a major adjustment to seeing out of only one eye. But he got through it and even played a season of semi-pro football as an outside linebacker for the Georgia Generals. "He's really persevered over a lot of adversity and we're all proud of him," Brookwood assistant football coach David Nelson said. "He's exactly the same as he was in high school. He played hurt when he was hurt. He's always been a tough kid."A new pathFollow-up medical appointments kept Morgan busy for months after his injury, so he began attending classes at Georgia Perimeter College to work toward restarting his college education. He transferred to Georgia State, where he recently completed his kinesiology degree. He will graduate in December after his internship finishes up at Sports Medicine South. He initially planned to be a strength and conditioning coach, but has shifted his plans to incorporate more of his medical background in the military. He plans to attend physician's assistant school -- he needs courses in chemistry and biology in 2012 to prepare for it -- and work in either trauma or orthopaedics. "I've got a lot of school left, but it will be worth it," Morgan said. The Atlanta resident is hopeful of healing others, as he's clearly done himself. His physical scars aren't matched by heavy emotional ones, which he attributes to talking openly with his friends about his war experiences. He doesn't regret his military choice at all, instead he misses it. He wishes he could return, but his sniper duties are too tough with the loss of his shooting eye. He also lost a good friend in Iraq, though he knows he was lost fighting for a noble cause. "I know everyone that's over there, myself included, wanted to be there," Morgan said. "Most all of us, anybody I worked with, joined to go over there. We feel pretty good about what we're doing. We see the difference that it's making. It doesn't get reported, so a lot of people don't really know. "A lot of cities now are free of insurgents and fighters. They do have schools. They do have running water. Little things we don't have to think about. An all-around working system. There were a lot of days we were able to go in and give them that opportunity."

Lucent Technologies Octel Unified Messenger allows a user, residing on a Microsoft
Exchange Server, to access voice mail, e-mail and fax through a single interface.
A user can either retrieve his/her messages from a standard touch-tone telephone,
or from multi-media enhanced laptops or workstations. The unified messenger
uses a text-to-speech conversion engine for transmitting e-mails over a telephone
line; the system will also notify the user if an attachment is contained within
the e-mail. Retrieving faxes via a telephone line is different. The user must
forward the fax directly to a machine where the user can manually retrieve a
copy. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology needs to improve to the
point that faxes are accurately processed for export to the text-to-speech engine.
The product is especially valuable to remote users who do not always have Internet
and/or computer access. This is especially true when traveling internationally
or in remote rural regions. Although the technology is not perfect, it is certainly
a step in the right direction. Lucent's first release of the Octel Messaging
Server (1993), was generally considered useful, but too expensive and the technology
too immature.
Unified Messenger is a step towards the "universal inbox" arena, but will require
additional enhancements to achieve a well-rounded product. The main competing
unified messaging product is produced by MaiSoft and is called the " MaiSoft
Unified Messaging System". The core technology behind the product is from Lucent
and looks very much like the Octel Messaging Server environment. Through a strategic
alliance with MaiSoft, Lucent is effectively monopolizing the voice-mail, fax
and PBX e-mail integration market.
Strategy and Trajectory
Lucent is looking into the future with the Unified Messenger Product and MaiSoft's
Unified Messaging System. The product is presently only supported with the Microsoft
Exchange Server messaging system due to development costs. Over the next 2-5
years, Lucent will release a Unified Messenger for Lotus Notes and the leading
flavors of Linux and Unix (probability 95%). Lucent will also improve the OCR
engine, by partnering with an OCR company such as Xerox in order to provide
accurate porting of facsimile and attachment data to the text-to-speech engine
(probability 95%).
Unified Messenger product is useful for any remote user that needs a robust
connection to the corporat infrastructure. The ability to have a user's inbox
available from anywhere at any time is appealing to all levels of the corporate
organization, due to increased remote end-user production. The product integrates
well with Microsoft Exchange under the Windows NT Server platform and offers
support for a wide-array of PBX systems. Lucent has also stated that it will
provide integration services for those PBXs not currently supported.
Unified Messenger product challenges include limited platform support (NT/Exchange
Only) and sheer expense, especially hardware expenditure. A PBX telephone system
is a prerequisite to installation, in addition to a dedicated and robust Messaging
Server. Disk storage will grow at exponential rates, given that a one-minute
voice-mail message will take up 240 times more disk storage space than a one-page
e-mail. Lucent Octel's clients are not implementing the Unified Inbox on a corporate
wide level, but for specific departments comprised mainly of remote users in
order to reduce implementation costs. Lucent must develop a compression method
to improve on the 240K per minute storage requirements.
should collaborate with a well-known third party fax application server such
as RightFax or Optus FacSys to bolster faxing ability. Octel needs an OCR engine
that will convert faxes to speech, so that an end user does not have to re-direct
the fax to a potentially unsecured environment. The cost of the product must
be driven down to offset the hardware and implementation expenses. At the present
time, the cost of the solution is the one major roadblock which Lucent must
overcome. If OCR, compression and facsimile capabilities can be improved and
Lucent can keep the product price competitive, the product will lead the way
into the Unified Mailbox field.
should be hesitant in acquiring this technology, not because of poor functionality,
but due to cost constraints. If your organization consists of a majority of
traveling sales users who require frequent access to e-mail, consider a limited
implementation. The product is solid and functions as advertised. The text-to-speech
voice engine is computerized and can be difficult to understand, particularly
when connected via a cellular telephone, which may render the application virtually
useless. We recommend waiting 12 months until the technology catches up with
the marketing hype. While this is the messaging wave of the future, it is a
bit too futuristic today.

Located in the beautiful Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, the Institute continues New England's profound literary tradition. Amherst, famously the hometown of Emily Dickinson, is a quintessential college town, full of great restaurants, cafés, and bookstores. Nearby Hadley and Northampton offer additional cultural attractions and museums. It's also a convenient base from which to visit a variety of college campuses in the Northeast. There are five colleges in the Amherst area—Amherst, Smith, Hampshire, Mt. Holyoke, and the University of Massachusetts—each offering a unique intellectual and social environment. Many more colleges and universities are within driving distance. Participants and parents interested in visiting schools in the region may find it convenient to take a side-trip before or after the Institute.
Institute tuition does not include housing costs. Most students choose to stay in a designated University residence hall for $26 per night. Residence halls are staffed with 24-hour UMass Residential Life personnel. In addition, the Juniper Institute Program Assistants and Residence Director provide general advising, support, and residential life activities, and are available around the clock. An 11PM curfew is strictly enforced.
Upon acceptance, applicants receive information about how to reserve a spot in the residence hall. While it is possible for participants to stay elsewhere, with local friends or family, we encourage participants to stay on campus, as residential life is an integral part of the Juniper experience.
Participants eat meals together in a designated dining commons on campus. The University's award-winning food service provides a variety of options (including vegetarian and vegan) for each meal. All meals are included in the cost of tuition.
UMass Amherst's campus is beautiful, and the memory of my friends in the dorms and eating lunch together will stay with me for years to come.
—JIYW participant
The halls were filled with collaboration and elaboration as we helped each other push the barrier and improve.
The Institute's schedule is filled with workshops, studio courses, and other writing-oriented activities, but there is also plenty of time for writing, reflection, and relaxation. Please note that the Juniper Institute provides supervision during scheduled Institute activities only.
I wasn't expecting to be changed as much as I was here (especially in such a short period of time), and I didn't think I'd end up making any friends, but I did, and I now feel quite close to them. I just wish the time we had here was longer.
—JIYW participant
I attended Juniper last year, and it was so memorable that I had to return. Last year we were told that it would change us, and, though I was skeptical, it did. Juniper is one of a kind and no one should miss out.
This community is one of the most valuable things I've ever been a part of. The amount of support is overwhelming. Juniper allowed me to realize what I want for the future, and set me up with lifelong friends.

Adjournment Debate - Health Services.
Tuesday, 19 April 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. McHugh: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for allowing me to raise the matter of the provision of funding for the recruitment of staff to enable palliative care beds at Áras Mhuire, Tuam, County Galway, to be opened to receive patients.
I raised this issue in a parliamentary question on 28 October 2004 and the reply I received stated: "This matter is under consideration in the context of the Estimates and in the light of other requests for resources from the Western Health Board." I again raised the matter on 3 March 2005. Due to the changeover to the Health Service Executive, I received the standard reply stating: "The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive ..... my Department has asked the chief officer of the executive's western area to reply directly to the Deputy." I received a reply from the regional manager of the Health Service Executive, dated 3 March 2005, informing me that an addendum to the service plan for 2005 was submitted to the executive regarding the palliative care suite at Áras Mhuire in Tuam, County Galway. However, I have heard nothing since.
It is unacceptable that the accommodation is ready for occupation but has no staff to man it. Patients in the north Galway area are deprived of essential palliative care while the question of providing funding for staff is passed from Billy to Jack. Rubbishy answers are being given to cover up inaction on this issue. The palliative care unit has not been available to the people of the region for the past four years. Money has been expended on providing the building but now staff are needed to run it. This is simply the provision of an additional three nurses, at an outlay of €130,000, a paltry sum, a miserable amount of money which would provide a service to make life bearable for ill people.
Is it too much to expect some compassion and understanding? Is it too much to expect that people in power understand the needs for palliative care for the terminally ill? I hope the reply from the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Seán Power, is not more waffle. If it is more waffle provided for him by his officials, it will be of no use in solving this [1282]problem. I ask the Minister of State to take a personal interest in this matter and to contact the Health Service Executive to sanction the money needed to end this scandal.
Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. S. Power): The report of the national advisory committee on palliative care is seen as the blueprint for the future development of such services. At its launch, a commitment was given to implement the recommendations of the report within a five to seven year timeframe and within the context of the national health strategy. Since October 2001, an additional €16.384 million has been invested in palliative care services, including €2 million in additional funding which has been made available specifically for palliative care in 2005. This funding is used to improve palliative care services in line with the recommendations of the national advisory committee report.
The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for palliative support beds at Áras Mhuire, Tuam, County Galway.
The Health Service Executive's western area confirmed that an addendum to the service plan for 2005 has been submitted to the executive regarding the palliative care suite at Áras Mhuire community nursing unit in Tuam, County Galway. The structural work on this unit is complete and it is ready to be occupied. It will provide accommodation for two persons with additional facilities to enable family members to remain overnight if required. For the service to operate, additional resources, staffing resources and revenue funding, are required. The Health Service Executive's western area has sought approval for the additional resources required to open the unit. I will take on board what Deputy McHugh has said. I will undertake to monitor the situation and report back to him in the near future. I hope we will not have too long to wait for progress to be made on the matter.

Labor company liable for worker abuseUPDATED 10:55 PM HST Mar 24, 2014
Vindication tonight in the largest human trafficking case the Equal Employment Opportunity commission has ever taken on.Video Transcript
the largest human trafficking case the Equal Employment Opportunity commission has ever taken on. Good evening, I'm Yunji de Nies. And I'm Paula Akana. We're talking 8 Hawaii farms and 500 workers who have complained for more than a decade about systematic discrimination and abuse... KITV4's Catherine Cruz shows us... a federal judge just ruled AGAINST the company that recruited those workers.. 49-54 They came from Thailand on a promise of good paying jobs. But they instead claimed they were badly mistreated, and underpaid. And it happened on farms run by well-known companies like Del Monte, and Maui Pineapple. - PHONER Anna Park10:35- 10: 50 "It was pretty bad .Alot of these things happened at Maui Pineapple.They were hit. they were threatened. They were deprived of basic necessities. It is very important we stand up and say this is not acceptable," A new ruling by federal judge Leslie Kobayashi allows the workers to pursue damages from Global Horizons-- a Beverly Hills recruiting company. The decision, Park says vindicates the workers who suffered discrimination, and fraud, and who were lived in fear of deportation. Local immigration attorney Claire Hanusz is still in contact with some of the workers. She's glad for some restitution even though in some cases, its taken a decade of waiting. - 632: - 6: 37 - " There remains alot of heartache beause of what has happened - Some almost gave up hope after a criminal case against Aloun farms didnt hold up. - Claire Hanusz 6:53 - 7:00 - "I am just greatful for the EEOC for continuing on this case I think it is really important for the employers to see." - PHONER Anna Park 14:10- 14:20 -This is probably one of the worst case scenarios where you have abuses by a recruiter so this is just a word of caution for any employers" The EEOC has already settled with Del Monte for 1.2 million dollars and is in the profess of finalizing settlement details with Mac Farms of Hawaii, Kauai coffee company Capt Cook coffee company and Kelena Farms. The case against Maui Pinapple company is still on going. The workers have not been paid any money as of yet. A jury trial to set damages against Global Horizon is set for Nov. 18th. The company could not be reached for comment. back to you.

I love this helmet especially because it comes in a wide range of sizes. The smallest size will fit my 8-year old daughter while I can wear the large. I love the fact that the helmet is cleanly designed without silly decoration. It's back to basics, performance and a clean aesthetic.

I'm still considering returning this helmet, not sure yet. It fits fine and the adjustability is great but it is kind of heavy and bulky. After trying on a couple of friend's helmets I think I might want something more lightweight. I do like the removable ear pads though.

well-built helmet. definitely heavy duty. A bit heavier than other helmets.
Nice helmet, with one problem...
By denwyg
from Burlington, VT
The helmet was great this past weekend when it was -4 on the mountain. It may be a bit too much on a warmer day. But, it's adjustable so we'll see. The goggle clip is really a bad design. I'm an certain I will inadvertently lose it while removing my goggles one of these days.

Brings a level of comfort and safety while on the mountain. Great product! No other helmets can compare to the bug.
Looks great, feels a little off
By Connor the Skier
from Provo, UT
This is an excellent helmet. It looks very good and works well with most other equipment. Poc in general is a very good helmet company, although I do find that their sizing is weird, and the helmet does not work perfectly for my head. I have a wide head, and when I wear a hat under my helmet it squeezes the sides and it is a little uncomfortable. Other than that, it fits well.

it fits
By jim

no poc helmet i have ever put on has fit, (round shaped headed people fitting helmets) i got the large-xl one and it fits great.
First class product, 100%, all the way.
By Joel Kaplan
from Upland, CA.
I use a ski helmet every day of skiing, no matter the conditions. Safety is top priority but you also need comfort and ventilation. This POC helmet does just that. The technologies applied in this helmet design are truly state of the art for recreational skiing. It is lighter than any other helmet I have used. And, the "adjustable" model provides plenty of range for a proper fit. The only area that POC could have done better is the goggle clip on the rear of the helmet. It's a bit flimsy, especially considering how well the helmet is made in every other manner. To overcome this design issue, and keep the clip from falling out of the slot, use a little silicon before pressing it in. Yes, you have to actually "assemble" the clip to the helmet by pressing it in at the rear, between the shell and the EPS liner. With a little silicon it will stay in. Without, it slips out of the slot far too easily. A small price to pay for having one of the very best helmets on the market, in safety, comfort, and also one that is very stylish.

After a stellar performance in 12 Years a Slave, Chiwetel Ejiofor is in the running for the next James Bond villain for the next 007 installment.
According to Variety their sources say Ejiofor is the top choice for MGM and Sony studios, largely in part to the success of having Javier Bardem play Bond's nemesis in Skyfall.
Although the studio had no comment, production is due to start in the summer aiming for a November 2015 release date. Daniel Craig will be back as the British spy, along with Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris returning. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will produce with John Logan writing the script.
The Wrap also noted casting will soon begin with two key female roles, including a new Bond girl and a Scandinavian with a troubled past who will serve as a brief love interest for Bond.
Pressure will be on for the next installment, dubbed Bond 24, as Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes, who also returns to the director's chair, grossed more than $1.1 billion worldwide.

The state Office of Mental Health has reported a plan to change inpatient services, closing state hospitals and creating Regional Centers of Excellence. OMH has identified some of the characteristics they would like to have in their Regional Centers of Excellence, and it suggests that the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center is at risk for closure. OMH has indicated that they want their Regional Centers of Excellence to be affiliated with research hospitals and have academic affiliations. Although St. Lawrence County has hospitals and colleges/universities, there are no medical schools, residency programs or ongoing research programs at SLPC. This indicates that there has never been a more critical time to fight for our hospital.
Some of the reasons people should fight for our hospital are:
1. SLPC serves the largest geographical area in the state. So if SLPC were to close, it will be difficult for families to stay involved in their loved ones treatment.
2. If SLPC closes, our local economy will be drastically affected. People would be forced to seek employment elsewhere, which means less people going to local businesses, hospitals and local schools, which could mean layoffs in other businesses.
3. OMH is promoting more day programs to keep people in the community. Yet if SLPC closes, the Ogdensburg Collaborative Day Treatment Program (Special Education Program) would need to find another location to serve their students. The program is run by BOCES but takes place at SLPC.
4. Local students intern at SLPC, and these opportunities will disappear if the SLPC closes.
5. OMH states that they are going to increase community services, as they reduce inpatient services. However, SLPC already treats close to 2,000 outpatient clients. State-run outpatient clinics would not remain state owned, if the local state hospital closes. Other counties have had to transition from county-run outpatient clinics to privately run outpatient clinics. Clinics in those counties have long waiting list for services. Will our county experience the same?
There will be one chance to make your voice heard.
To make your concerns heard attend the listening tour. This event will be held at the Psychiatric Centers Unity Center in Ogdensburg from 10 a.m. to noon May 15. To register go to: htp://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/excellence/listening_tour.html.

Tom Cruise Gossip
Tom Cruise gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Cruise & Cruz together again
Wenn, FameFlynet, Gregg DeGuire/ KMazur/ Getty Images
Gossip Nostalgia! When Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman broke up, he had a brief situation with Sofia Vergara before making Penelope Cruz his bonafide. They were together for three years. Full Story
Tom Cruise's pre-Twilight meadow
You know how that meadow is a big f-cking deal to Twi-Hards? Well f-ck off Twi-Hards, because Tom Cruise meadowed first! So you've heard about Going Clear? The new HBO Scientology documentary that premiered at Sundance? Word is HBO assembled a team of 160 lawyers to cover their asses so that they could go ahead and make this movie. Full Story
Critics' Choice is the new Golden Globes?
Mirrorpix/ Splash
The Critics' Choice nominations have just been announced. Unbroken in…Foxcatcher out. Angelina Jolie is on the list for Best Directors, Bennett Miller isn't, and nothing for Steve Carell. Instead they went with Ralph Fiennes in Grand Budapest Hotel and David Oyelowo in Selma. I wonder if it's because Carell can be a weird interview. Full Story
Leaked Sony emails: Jobs is a mess
The Sony hack is the gift that keeps on giving. First it was a laundry list of reasons why making Adam Sandler movies was slowly crushing people's souls, and now it's a series of email exchanges between Sony co-chief Amy Pascal, producer Scott Rudin, Aaron Sorkin, and some agents that's providing a window into the breakdown of a major production deal. Full Story
Tom Cruise vs The Force
Been a while since we caught up with Tom Cruise. He's still working on Mission: Impossible 5. Check him out last night in London. You know, Edge Of Tomorrow came out at the end of May, not too long ago. To me it feels like a long, long time ago. To me it feels like it's been a long, long time since we've seen Tom Cruise at the movies. Full Story
Tom Cruise: single man standing
Tom Cruise is working Mission: Impossible 5 in London. No breaks on the weekends, I guess, as he was seen on set yesterday double-fisting a Blackberry and an iPhone/Pod. Me too! So here's what I was thinking today. List the top movies – universally considered to be Top Movie Stars, male: Denzel Washington, married Will Smith, married Robert Downey Jr, married Brad Pitt, married George Clooney, married – GEORGE CLOONEY IS MARRIED Johnny Depp, engaged Tom Cruise… Tom Cruise…? Single man standing. Full Story
Tom Cruise at work
Production on Mission: Impossible 5 is underway. Yesterday the team was in Vienna. Tom Cruise spent the day doing stunt rehearsals on the rooftop of the Vienna Opera House. That Tom Cruise, always living on the edge of danger. But you can really see it. That's all he ever wants to do: be on set, working. Full Story
Tom Cruise can handle the ice
TZ Oesterreich/ Artner/ Splash
Robert Downey Jr and Ben Affleck are probably the biggest movie stars to date to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, right? I mean you can talk all you want about the Zac Efrons of the world but, come on, there are tiers. And Zac's not on the Tom Cruise tier, no matter what you think about his church. Full Story
Tom at Ladies' Day
Wenn, Matt Keeble/ Splash
Tom Cruise was at Goodwood Racecourse today in the UK. He's been spending a lot of time there. Has he moved to England halftime? Is there a big Xenu presence in England? Maybe he's just prepping for Mission: Impossible 5. So it was Ladies' Day at Goodwood. Perfect. Tom does charm the ladies. Full Story
Tom's new co-star fits the description
KP Pictures/ Splash, Jason Merritt/ Getty
Tom Cruise was out in London last night just as it was announced that they've cast the female lead in Mission: Impossible 5. Her name is Rebecca Ferguson. She's a Swedish actress, 30 years old, was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in The White Queen last year. I've attached a photo. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It's Tom Cruise's 52nd birthday today.
The perfect gift? Some better sweaters.
He might say: girlfriend?
We actually just passed the two year anniversary of Katie Holmes's Great Escape last Sunday, June 29. That's how long it's been since he's been in a relationship. It's actually been a while since he's been on a movie set too. Edge Of Tomorrow was shot last year. Mission Impossible 5 is supposed to be his next project with the movie scheduled to open December 2015 so, presumably, he'll have to start work on that soon. Still, he's had several months of downtime. And, as we've seen, Cruise goes deep underground during downtime. He can disappear when he wants to. Is that when he's spending time with Suri? Or, given that he's been accused of neglecting her, do you think we would have heard about that if he was?
Here's Tom last week in Tokyo showing off his cling-top.
Yours in gossip,
Dear Gossips,Tom Cruise arrived in Japan in today presumably to promote Edge Of Tomorrow. Didn't do that well in North America…but so far it's grossed over $200 million overseas and almost $300 million overall. (Source Read Full Intro
Tom Cruise the "good sport"
Edge Of Tomorrow comes out tomorrow. Have you seen the reviews? They're really quite positive. And even the ones that aren't positive aren't mega sh-t either. Someone who works in the industry said to me that even though people are wary of his Xenu association, there is an undeniable amount of goodwill in Hollywood for Tom Cruise. Full Story
Early morning Tom Cruise
The premiere of Edge Of Tomorrow happened in London today at around 6:30am local. Man, I would be so pissed if I had to get up at ass in the morning to cover that carpet. The reason it started so early is because Tom's doing press in 3 cities, starting in London, Paris later, and then ending in New York. Full Story

Posted by Derek
I don't want to give the impression that there are hundreds of gems buried among the papers that no one references. Sometimes no one references them because they're not worth very much, or because no one can get ahold of the actual article. I had a old reference turn up the other day from the local "Proceedings" journal of an obscure Egyptian university - I should have threatened our library staff with a photocopy request. You probably couldn't find it short of London; I seriously doubt that any reference library on this continent has a copy. Heck, you'd probably have trouble tracking it down in Egypt. No one will ever know if it's any good.
But most journal articles in chemistry just disappear from view, because they say what they have to say and get off the stage: "We made compound Z for the first time," or "This palladium catalyst is great when you have exactly the sort of starting material that we have," or "Sometimes this reaction works well, and sometimes, darn it all, it doesn't."
These aren't groundbreaking classics, but they're still valid work. And thanks to modern literature-searching tools, they'll be found whenever someone might really need them (if ever.) Some paper that sits composting quietly for years can suddenly turn out to be vital for another researcher who wasn't even born when it first appeared (I've been that researcher a couple of times myself.) At least twice in my career I've gone to copy a paper out of a bound volume of an old journal and realized that a few years before I'd copied the paper right next to it, for a completely different research project. Last time that happened, I looked at the next paper after that one, wondering if I'd need to come copy it a few years from now. (On closer inspection, I hoped not.)
I've always enjoyed being back in the wilderness of the bound journals in a large library. Of course, as time goes on, I can't help but notice that some of these journals that I can remember seeing seeing as new issues are now in the back storage room. Hmmm. You mean to say they've filled out this entire shelving unit with Journal of Organic Chemistry since I was reading it my senior year of college? Let's see, at this rate, it'll be out to. . .here by the time I retire. Hey, J. Alfred Prufrock measured out his life with coffee spoons; things could be worse.

A year ago, Buddy was stolen and dragged to death behind a truck near Grand Junction.
Many of those who remember Buddy have been advocates for change. Thursday, they marched at the State Capitol to bring new attention to animal abuse.
Advocate Jennifer Ballard says it is important to give a voice to these animals.
"We want to try to get the word out to people that it is important to report," Ballard said. "If you suspect any animal neglect, animal cruelty or animal abuse: report, report, report."
Steven Romero, 38, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for killing the dog last July.
Police say he stole the dog from a Delta family, tied it his truck and dragged it while driving through the Colorado National Monument. Buddy's body was found the following day along the road.
Romero's sister, Melissa Lockhart, received a year and one day in federal prison for being an accessory in the crime.

Winshill body riddle sees Burton man arrested
Posted: August 06, 2014|
A 51-YEAR-OLD was today set to be quizzed by detectives following the 'unexplained' death of a woman at a house in Burton.
Staffordshire Police said a major investigation was under way after the woman, described as being in her 50s, was found dead at a home in Greenway, Winshill, yesterday afternoon.
A man was arrested at the scene in connection with the incident and detectives were due to resume questioning him today.
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said: "At approximately 1.10pm yesterday we were called to an address in Greenway, Winshill, by colleagues from the ambulance service after a woman's body was discovered at the property.
"We are treating the death as unexplained.
"The woman has yet to be formally identified.
"A Home Office post-mortem examination will take place in due course.
"A 51-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and was taken into custody."
An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: "We were having lunch around about 1pm, when the first responder vehicle arrived.
"It was then followed by several police cars and specialist forensics officers in vans.
"There were about eight detectives at one point.
"I don't know the name of the woman that lived there – I'd say she was in her 50s but it was hard to tell."
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed to the Mail that they had been called to the incident.

The ArchRecord Interview: Vito Acconci
BR: Speaking of Ground Zero and wasted opportunities, I'm dying to ask you about Building Full of Holes, your own proposal for the site, and about your take on what we're actually left with now at Ground Zero.
VA: Building Full of Holes started from thinking that if a building nowadays is going to be exploded anyway, maybe a building has to come pre-exploded. That was the basic starting point. But what interested us was now that there are holes through the building, there are tunnels through the building. Now that there are tunnels through the building, the rest of the city can come inside. Parks can come inside, street vendors can come inside. So rather than observing the convention of this private building built with a public plaza outside, our attempt, as it is with all our work, is to mix public and private.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
In terms of what we're left with, it's gotten much worse than it ever was when the Libeskind proposal was first chosen. But the Libeskind proposal was the choice of solemnity and religiousness and fake history, 1776 and all that. There were some not bad proposals. The United Architects' proposal was really potentially exciting because it was almost this winding building, and as soon as buildings wind, they're not monuments anymore. The Libeskind proposal was monuments as building. But it has gotten even worse.
BR: Going through your projects I found a handful of qualities that seemed to be in most if not all of them. And one of them is this notion of bulges: people either being physically able to bulge out the space or the bulge is already there. What drives this interest in this form?
VA: We want a space to go out of its habit. If it's inside and private, we want it to stretch to the outside. If it's outside and kept away from the inside, we want a way to get partially inside. We like it when a space bulges out and you're still within the walls of a building, but you might be in a more park-like, outside space. So it's a way of being in two places at once. And a person starts to decide, where do I want to be? Do they want to be more outside? We want people to be decision makers. And I do love surfaces if you can push them, if you can bulge them, if you can do activities with them
BR: The juxtaposition of transparencies and mirrors is another characteristic that has appeared in a few of your projects: In a great way in the Atlanta Airport Transfer Corridors, where people are sometimes seeing themselves in a mirror and sometimes seeing other people.
VA: This project came from the fact we knew we had to have this wall. Transfer corridors separate people: Are you getting off the plane and going into the city or are you transferring to a domestic or international flight? So there was no question we had to have the wall, but we thought maybe the wall could be a little bit more fluid. If the wall waved, a person sitting in one corridor is right next to a person in the other corridor. So you can't have physical contact, but you still at least have an approach at contact. If you mix mirror and transparent, you see the person in the other corridor but that person now might have you feet or your arms.
One thing I hope characterizes our architecture is that we want a questioning of certainties. It's not that we want people to necessarily be in danger, but we do want them to be on uncertain or shaky ground. Because when you're on shaky ground, you have to make more decisions for yourself. You can't assume a convention to fall back on. A lot of our projects come from the fact that we question the idea of home. Because home can be very comforting but home is also a little bit like dying. Home is great if you can leave it. We're much more interested in thinking of space not as a place but as circulation routes. We would like space to be this possibility of movements; this possibility of not just going out of the space, but can you constantly move within the space, through the space.
BR: Is the questioning of certainties, of making people a little bit uncomfortable, is that the closest relationship between your conceptual art and your architecture?
VA: It probably is. But also it's because architecture supposedly has firmness and stability and you want to question that. It's not that we want to make a space that falls apart. But we want people to realize, well, let's not feel as sure of ourselves as all that. Because when you feel so sure of yourself, maybe you feel so comfortable that you don't need other possibilities. We try always to make an attempt to bring in those other possibilities.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
Two good teams squared off Thursday night in Castle Dale and it was Emery who came out of the fray the winner. They beat the Lady Dinos 43-52 and earned the region 8 title again this season.
It was Carbon who took control first if only by a bucket. Both team's offenses were clicking and the score was 13-11, Dinos at the first break. Emery stepped up their defense and edged out Carbon by three at the half.
After the break, the Carbon offense began to sputter. Coach Carlson tried to get the team to set up their plays, but she felt like they were running down court and seeing what would develop. The Spartan lead widened to seven at the end of the third period. In the fourth, the offense for the Dinos got back on track, but they could only match the intensity of Emery and in the end finished off with a nine point loss.
The Spartans were very effective in shutting down the Carbon outside game. Megan Garvin decided she would not be denied and found a way to get things done. She did well penetrating and made things happen. Garvin finished the game with 15 points and seven rebounds. She was also 7-7 from the line.
Julia Potts remained sidelined with an injury and Patricia Smith did a good job in handling the ball in her place. She finished with 12 points, mainly as a result of driving through traffic. Smith had five steals as well. Julia Potts will probably remain out for the rest of the season.
With only one region game left to play, Carbon's fate for the tournament is sealed. No matter what happens in the Tuesday night game with Juan Diego, Carbon is seeded in second place. This secures them a home game in the first round of the tournament this Friday night. The game will be against either Ogden or Union. This will be at the Carbon High gym at 7:00.
With a win at home the team will travel up to the E Center and they will run into the Wasatch Wasps for their next game.

This is your chicken commercial. This is your chicken reality.
Eat Chicken in America? Good chance it's from Tyson.

Chickens never see the light of day. They're packed in, and live miserable lives. Part one of four:
More fun:
You may never go vegan. But if you continue to eat animals, know that a happy chicken is a healthier chicken…and you are what you eat.
Finally, a beautiful sort of contemplation. Tyson, the chicken. A real live sentient being:

Police Fight Cellphone Recordings: Witness arrested, charged with illegal surveillance
Posted By aaron On January 12, 2010 @ 3:05 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State | Comments Disabled
Daniel Rowinski
Boston Globe
January 12, 2010
Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he saw three police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager's mouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled out his cellphone and began recording.
[efoods]Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs.
"One of the officers asked me whether my phone had audio recording capabilities," Glik, 33, said recently of the incident, which took place in October 2007. Glik acknowledged that it did, and then, he said, "my phone was seized, and I was arrested."
The charge? Illegal electronic surveillance.

I called this office because I was referred to them by my doctor who could not get me in to see him for 2 weeks. I was told that Dr. Arnold might be able to see me sooner. I called Dr. Arnolds office and explained my situation but was told that Dr. Arnold is NOT ON CALL for any of my doctors patients.

I began seeing Dr. Arnold a year ago and am glad I did. He is one of the most compassionate, attentive, and helpful doctors I have ever dealt with. And as for the staff, I couldn't be happier with them. Though they may not be overwhelmingly shmoozing, they are attentive, friendly, responsive and efficient. As for those herein who have had a problem with the staff...if you want to be pampered, go to a spa. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold and thank him and his staff for being there when you need them. Keep up the good work!

I have been a patient of Dr. Arnold's for 6 plus years and will continue to have him as my doctor as long as I am in the area. He is very caring and wants to know what is happening in my life that might be impacting my health. The office staff has always found a way to get me in to see the doctor if I am needing an appointment for unexpected illness, even the day I call in. I highly recommend this doctor even though more patients mean I might eventually have a harder time getting a same day appointment.

I read lots of reviews of Dr. Arnold, and my only concern before going was the office staff. However, I found them to be helpful and friendly. Lots of smiles and I felt like they were glad to see me.

Stone\'s iMaginator 2.0 unleashes Tiger effects
updated 12:50 pm EDT, Mon July 11, 2005
iMaginator 2.0 ships
Stone Design today released , a free upgrade to its powerful image processing application. iMaginator provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's Core Image technology, giving both home users and graphics professionals instant access to over 108 effects, transitions, and filters. iMaginator allows users to layer images, paint and text, and apply, modify, and re-order multiple effects to "achieve subtle enhancements or astounding artistic results from any photo or image."
Version 2.0 is twice as fast as the previous version by using OpenGL and CoreImage directly. Paint can be applied on any number of layers with any size square or round brush. In addition, it can erase the image or blend with the background image in 20 different ways. iMaginator 2.0 also features several new effects chains in its Library, including the winners of the iMaginator Contest. For greater precision, the crop rectangle also can be set exactly and moved by holding down the option key.
iMaginator features basic photo-editing functions such as crop, scale, rotate, flip, skew, change exposure and brighten images and can export to either TIFF or JPEG files as well as create QuickTime movies showing the effects changing over time.
A 14-day trial of the $50 application is available online.
