Thursday's Health Winners & Losers
(BIIB), gained ground Thursday on business and clinical updates on a flat-to-positive day for the sector. Biogen climbed after it reaffirmed 2007 guidance and said it expects to grow revenue by 15% a year and earnings per share (before charges and expenses) by 20% a year from 2007 to 2010.The company said it expects the growth to be driven by continued performance of multiple sclerosis treatment Avonex, expansion of cancer treatment rituxan into autoimmune diseases, achieving a milestone of 100,000 patients on Tysabri by the end of 2010, and geographic diversification of its revenue base -- aiming for 40% of revenue to be from international business by 2010. Shares gained $3.66, or 5.83%, to $66.53. Cell Therapeutics (CTIC - Get Report) said following a meeting with the Food and Drug Administration it will conduct a full analysis of a late-stage study for its non-Hodgkin's lymphoma candidate pixantrone instead of an interim analysis. The company expects the study to be completed by the end of the year and said a full analysis should be available during the first half of 2008. Cell Therapeutics said that since pixantrone has fast-track status for this indication, it could receive marketing approval in 2009. Shares rose 19 cents or 5.1%, to $3.90. Others rose on mid-to-late stage trial initiation updates. Introgen Therapeutics (INGN - Get Report) and Moffitt Cancer Center announced plans to begin a phase II randomized, controlled study of INGN 225, Introgen's investigational immunotherapy product in patients with metastatic small-cell lung cancer.A few health stocks, including Biogen Idec

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Excellent againIn full: Great organisation, very well supported. A fast course with plenty of water stations and loads of happy volunteers. A lovely combination of when a true community event meets almost elite. Nice addition of pacers this year who were very good.Date of review: March 22, 2016
In short: BeautifulDate of review: March 13, 2016
In short: A bit over-rated?In full: Sorry to go against the flow but I didn't find the Mad Dog all that special. It's pretty well organised and it has some nice music out on the course. It had a very cheerful overall 'vibe'. The goodie bag is good and the medal is OK -although personally I don't care for medals anyway. The route is pretty dull unless you like salt marshes. It's a very flat course which makes it very accessible as a first time 10k. The marshals are generally cheery but there are no spectators for large sections. So I don't regret going but I have done many similar events in my time and several better. If you do travel 250 miles to run it don't expect too much.Date of review: February 8, 2016
In short: Tough course and brilliant grubIn full: QE park is a fantastic area and just made for tough and muddy off-road running. This route involves some brutal up hills - mainly in the first 60% of the course. It's very muddy which makes it all extremely playful. The marshals were great on a wet cold day. The post run chilli was surprisingly excellent and was perfect after a tough run. Date of review: February 1, 2016
In short: Quite amazingIn full: Tough course with lots of hills. Beautiful scenery and wonderful fresh air. Brilliant organisation so number collect, bag drop and toilets all were super smooth. Most all a stunning atmosphere created by brilliant marshals and especially the spectators. Out in the country lanes are picnics, funny signs, scarecrows and wonderful welcoming people. Perhaps the most uplifting atmosphere I've ever run in and in case you're wondering this isi not PB adrenalin talking. I actually ran pretty poorly today but loved it all the same ??Date of review: October 4, 2015
In short: Senses on high alert!In full: Devils Punch bowl is a beautiful spot because of it's undulating terrain, spectacular views and serenity. So run 10k of that in total darkness and it's quite a remarkable challenge. Some very tricky sections due to uneven ground and the downhills are the hardest. Wear a powerful head torch!Date of review: September 27, 2015
In short: Simply beautiful courseIn full: Such an amazing collection of terrains. Sand, Tarmac, grass, track and a touch of mud. Always changing but consistently beautiful. Sorry to hear some of the leaders went the wrong way for a section. There are loads of marshals but appeared one short? Otherwise the marshals were superb - happy and helpful. Finish area is great as well, with super bacon but ties. It's a tough course but that's the price you pay for fantastic views and great downhills. May take on the marathon next year just to soak up even more of itDate of review: September 14, 2015
In short: LoveDate of review: May 20, 2015
In short: Aa truly fanDate of review: May 20, 2015
In short: Hopefully not the last one?In full: Second 20 miler here in two years. Such a beautiful course even on a cool, blustery day. Brilliant organisation given the huge 20 mile loop that needs signing and some marshalling. The start/finish facilities and grub are great, plus a tech t-shirt for a bargain fee. It's a tough course so you really know you've done a long trail race when you've finished. Understand this may be the last one as Dick Kearns is standing down from organising it? Hope it continues it's a wonderful day out.Date of review: April 4, 2015

Studies Outline Clever Tricks Of Viruses
By NICHOLAS WADE
Published: May 6, 1997
AFTER a war has been waged for many years, ingenious tricks and countermeasures and counter-countermeasures emerge on both sides. When a war has gone on for millions of years, like that between viruses and the human immune system, the stratagems can attain a high level of refinement.
Viruses have learned to hide inside cells, and the immune system has developed a system for identifying cells that hold hidden invaders. Viruses have learned how to deceive the surveillance system; the immune system has a backup method for marking the cells where it was deceived.
This hide-and-seek game is of some consequence for the body's health, since tumor cells, which also must dodge the immune system's scrutiny, use several of the same tricks as viruses.
Biologists do not yet fully understand the multiple layers of interaction between the body and the viruses that learned how to colonize it. But though much remains to be learned, several stages of ploy and counterploy can now be described for a particularly crafty microbe known as cytomegalovirus, whose latest trick was described recently in the journal Nature.
A cytomegalovirus that has burrowed into a cell must first cope with the immune system's method for uncovering infiltrators. Cells make what can be thought of as flagpole proteins, which jut out through the cell's membrane, and every individual makes a characteristic brand. Usually the flagpole proteins signal that the cells are the body's own, an advertisement of health and selfhood.
When a virus starts to replicate inside a cell, the flagpole proteins start to display fragments of the virus. The flagpoles are constantly inspected by the immune system's patrolling enforcers of purity, known as killer T cells. If the T cells sense a foreign protein on the flagpoles (known to immunologists as major histocompatibility complex class 1 proteins), they order the immediate execution of the stricken cell for the public good.
Cytomegalovirus's first subterfuge is to jam this red flag mechanism. It has developed several ways of doing this, one of which is to bottle up the flagpole proteins in their assembly compartment and gag the cell's cry for help.
Clever, but the immune system has evolved a countermeasure. With the T cells blinded to danger, another, less discriminating weapon was developed, known scientifically as an N.K. cell. (N.K. stands only for natural killer, but immunologists like acronyms.) The N.K. cells are the berserkers of the immune system. Their orders are to ax-murder any cell that displays no flagpoles.
So the immune system had it all worked out: T cells to kill infected body cells with flagpoles bearing virus body parts, N.K. cells to kill cells without flagpoles.
But cytomegalovirus has a ruse to evade N.K. cells, too. It has either developed on its own, or stolen from human cells, a gene that makes flagpole proteins. By erecting fake flagpoles on the cells it has infected, the virus protects them and itself from N.K. attack. Discovery of the false-flag ruse was reported in Nature last month by Dr. Jack L. Strominger and his colleagues at Harvard University, who studied human cells, and by Dr. Helen E. Farrell and her colleagues at the University of Western Australia, who noticed the same trick in infected mice.
Dr. Strominger said he had got the idea that cytomegalovirus might be decoying the N.K. cells after finding a similar mechanism last year in cells of the human fetus. Fetal cells must suppress their flagpole proteins to avoid being perceived as foreign by the mother's immune system, which would reject them, so they need a false flag to avert assault by the mother's N.K. cells.
''Different viruses have evolved different ways of getting rid of expression of class 1 proteins,'' Dr. Strominger said, referring to the flagpole proteins. ''But the mechanisms are amazingly different in different viruses.''
As long as its defenses are intact, the immune system somehow keeps cytomegalovirus well in check despite the microbe's evasion of both its T cell and N.K. defense mechanisms. The virus, which is common and generally harmless, is forced to bide its time until the immune system is changed or compromised. Then it will strike. It can cause blindness in AIDS patients and birth defects or death in the fetus.
''Viruses teach us a lot of immunology,'' said Dr. Lynn W. Enquist, a virologist at Princeton University. ''With acute viruses like flu, it's wham, bam, thank you ma'am -- the immune system is very good at taking care of them.'' But slower-growing viruses need ways to cope with the immune system. ''These big viruses like H.I.V. and hepatitis have to figure out how to replicate in the presence of the immune system,'' he said. ''They have all learned how to do this, and they do it in 57 different ways.'' Adenovirus, the cause of the common cold, is another microbe with a bag of cunning tricks. Like cytomegalovirus, it has genes that suppress the telltale flagpole proteins. To get itself replicated, adenovirus needs another fancy stratagem. It must get its host cell to divide, something that cells are allowed to do only at the body's express command, since otherwise chaos and cancer would ensue.

Bellomo Architects' Tiny House Arc Prefab Home is Now Available for Order
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On August 28, 2012 @ 5:04 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,energy efficiency,Environment,Gallery,Green Building,Prefab Housing,Renewable Energy | 1 Comment
Here at Inhabitat we love prefab house designs, and we like it even better when they actually get built! That's why we are very excited to report that Bellomo Architects' modular House Arc, which was just a prototype before, is now actually being fabricated. The House Arc can now be ordered online and shipped to any location, where it can be assembled by the user or community.
Inspired by the architects' Bike Arc [2] design (a modular bike parking system) the House Arc was conceived as a modular housing system for communities in need but is also suited for people interested in low-maintenance, off-the-grid housing [3] solutions. This compact house was designed for complete efficiency – it is naturally ventilated, easy to construct and can be outfitted with solar panels, and its lightweight structure made of recycled steel tubes is raised on concrete footings to allow air to flow underneath for passive cooling. Large windows allow natural light to filter through the house, while a shading trellis mounted on the roof prevents excess heat from reaching the interior. The entire unit has been constructed to withstand tropical winds and weather.
Weighing only 3,000 pounds and packed in remarkably small shipping boxes (4 x 10 x 3 feet), the house embodies the idea of compact living [4]. "We designed the House Arc to function like a kit of parts so that it could be assembled quickly—like prefab furniture", says architect Joseph Bellomo.
The project will be a featured at this year's TEDxPresidio Conference [5], where the attendees will get the chance to view a full-scale section of the House Arc.

A scrap of good news
There is some good news on the energy crisis front, albeit only a small scrap. This is the announcement by EDF that they are going to extent the life of Torness nuclear power station to 2030 - it was originally meant to close in 2023.
That said, it's going to make precious little difference to the energy crisis that is currently threatening us, and may even overwhelm us next winter, as Euan Mearns sets out in this recent post.
I'm going to be on BBC Radio Scotland shortly to discuss what the Torness decision means.
Well I didn't get a lot of airtime, but I'm not sure I needed to. The callers did seem to be mostly hostile to the green energy agenda.
Obama and the climate change musical
Republicans in the US House of Representatives are currently trying to get a grip on one small part of the Washington bureaucracy by trying to get the National Science Foundation to concentrate on funding useful science. Lamar Smith, the Texas Congressman who is leading the charge, is firing off shots over NSF's funding for public necessities like a climate change themed musical, an effort that set the taxpayer back some $700,000. He wants standards set in place - things like "increasing the health and welfare of the public".
Reasonable enough? Apparently not. Entirely unembarrassed by their excesses, the bureaucrats and their chums are declaring their outrage. President Obama is even threatening a veto.
They work for you, I'm told.
Will fusion kill the climate debate?
I keep a weather eye on developments in the nuclear fusion field, although always with an eye to the oft-levelled criticism that practical fusion is just 30 years away and always has been.
But last week I did start to get a bit more excited when I learned that the Chinese have managed to contain hydrogen plasma at 50 million degrees C for nearly two minutes. The shift from fractions of a second to minutes seems, to me at least, to bring about a change in perception. We are dealing with an engineering problem rather than a science problem.
Windfarms are already redundant - they have never been anything else - but perhaps they are going to be joined on the scrapheap by oil and gas much sooner than we thought.
Although of course we'll still have to deal with the green protests first.
In related news, the Chinese have a commercial-sized pebble-bed fission reactor ready to switch on next year.
Further to yesterday's post, it seems that the Independent will be ending its print editions in just a few weeks' time. Leo Hickman helpfully reminds us what we'll be missing.

Marvellous exchanges
The latest exchanges over the Marvel et al paper make for fascinating reading. Over at RealClimate, Gavin Schmidt writes a rather thin response to Nic Lewis's critique. Lewis has responded at length at Climate Audit.
Gavin, as might be expected, has made heavy use of his standard, "paraphrase, don't quote" technique, creating a series of strawmen that he can knock down with ease. For instance, at one point Lewis set out a great deal of evidence that suggested that land-use changes may have been omitted from a calculation. He mused about whether there was a rational explanation. Gavin paraphrased this as [my emphasis]:
Lewis in subsequent comments has claimed without evidence that land use was not properly included in our historical runs, and that there must be an error in the model radiative transfer.
Talking of comedians
If you thought the antics of the greens at the Cuadrilla inquiry were silly, take a look at Bob the Blether's latest in the Independent, outlining a vast right-wing conspiracy centred on, erm, 55 Tufton Street, Westminster.
And they call us conspiracy theorists!
In related news, the owners of the Independent are considering closing it down.
Greens: shale gas is not a tourist draw
For those with nothing better to do, the livestream of the Cuadrilla public inquiry can be seen here. For everyone else who wants to see what Friends of the Earth are getting up to, there are daily summaries at Drill or Drop, a green tinged website that tries hard to present a balanced view of the shale gas story.
Although FoE haven't tried their "sand is a carcinogen" line yet, they do seem to have come up with some fairly wild claims. Like this for example:
[FoE barrister Ms Dehon] put it to [Cuadrilla planning witness Mr Smith] that if Roseacre Wood and Preston New Road operated together they would generate waste fluid that would amount to 65% of the UK waste treatment capacity.
They have also knocked the exploration operation for only creating 22 jobs and...wait for it...not being a tourist draw.
[Robin Green, the barrister for Roseacre Awareness Group] said: "As a tourism draw, fracking is unlikely to be up there as a draw"
For those who are interested, here are the tourism data for Pennsylvania.
Greenshirt thuggery condemned
While I was busy yesterday, several people pointed me to another shot in the ongoing battle between advocates for indigenous peoples and the environmentalists who are trampling roughshod over them.
Survival International has apparently issued a formal complaint to the OECD about WWF, whose hired hands have been involved in violent abuse of the Baka people of Cameroon.
This is the first time a conservation organization has been the subject of a complaint to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), using a procedure more normally invoked against multinational corporations.
The complaint charges WWF with involvement in violent abuse and land theft against Baka "Pygmies" in Cameroon, carried out by anti-poaching squads which it in part funds and equips.
I would have thought the Charities Commissioner might take an interest too.
Tail wind
I once faced off against Paul Williams of Reading University in a radio debate. He came across as a pretty rational kind of guy and we had a nice exchange of emails afterwards. But I have to say that his most recent paper is one of those ones that make you despair with their sheer futility. Here's the BBC take on it.
Flights from the UK to the US could take longer due to the changes in the climate, according to a new study.
Global warming is likely to speed up the jet stream, say researchers, and slow down aeroplanes heading for the US.
While eastbound flights from the US will be quicker, roundtrip journeys will "significantly lengthen".
It's published in Environmental Research Letters, which is usually not a good sign. The authors apparently fed "synthetic atmospheric wind fields generated from climate model simulations into a routing algorithm of the type used operationally by flight planners" and deduced that westbound transatlantic flights were going to take longer while eastbound flights will be faster. But, almost inevitably, the losses are expected to outweight the gains.
I wonder what evidence there is that GCMs can predict, or even hindcast, changes in wind speeds in a warming world?
Greens blighting communities
There was an interesting report on the Sky website yesterday about recycling firms who are going out of business, leaving piles of festering waste for others to clear up.
More than 60 rotting waste piles are blighting communities in areas including Wiltshire, Kent, the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Fife.
The Environment Agency said in 2014-2015 it was dealing with 50 abandoned sites in England, 10 of which contain more than 5,000 tons.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency said it was handling the clearance of another 14 sites of varying sizes.
All follow the same pattern of recycling firms starting-up business on private land then going into liquidation and leaving the waste mounds for landowners or the authorities to clean up at a cost millions of pounds.
Insolvency on that scale looks more like design than accident. When you set this against what we already know about recycling plants - the daily fires and the stories of fraud that already blight the "industry", the sheer scale of the corruption that environmental policy is supporting becomes clear.
It's hard to credit the idea that anyone would think that mandatory recycling was a good idea. But the gentlemen pictured above apparently do.
Shale fights back?
Do I detect a new, more aggressive approach toward the greens from the shale gas industry? An article in the Times today (£) implies that Cuadrilla were behind a complaint to the Charities Commission about the way in which Friends of the Earth (the charity) seemed to be engaged in campaigning activity:
The charity said: "Cuadrilla seem to be trying to silence their opposition. They should stop changing the subject from the real issues at stake and join us in engaging in democratic debate on fracking and climate change. Our campaign against fracking will continue."
And this morning, Greenpeace - which also seems quite happy for its charitable arm to get involved in political campaigning and media stunts - has launched an occupation of Parliament Square, with a mockup of a shale drilling rig, complete with flaring. Which prompted a rather-more-cutting-than-usual response from the Onshore Operators' Group
Parliament Square stunt @greenpeace shows importance of regulation. Did they have flaring permit?— UKOOG (@UKOOGroup) February 9, 2016
You have to say that it's about time the shale gas industry stopped lying back and hoping that the greens were going to adopt a more honest approach.
It's not what they do.
Less science, more comms
Barry Woods points us to today's webcast of the IPCC discussing its future communications strategy. I've just heard someone say that the IPCC reports need to have less of that complicated and very dull science stuff and much more simple messaging. Apparently science writers need to be involved from the front.
Unfortunately I can't spend all day watching this, but if anyone can bear it do let us know if they say anything new.
Energy policy isn't working
When oil and gas prices were high, DECC used to publish an annual Energy Statement, which included an assessment of the impact of policy measures on prices.
John Constable notes that now that fossil fuel prices have crashed, DECC has decided that the statement is no longer necessary. It's hard to see this as anything other than an attempt to hide the disastrous impact of the government's approach.
Apparently, in the last assessment it was said that in a "low-price" scenario, policy measures would be increasing prices by up to 77% for some users. Given that fossil fuel prices are far below those assumed in that scenario, that could easily be more than double.
The bonkers emanations of Prof Hugh
Professor Hugh Montgomery is much given to making wild unsubstantiated comments about the terrors of climate change so it's no surprise to see him given pride of place in the ECIU's expensively produced report on the Paris conference.

Analyst Blog
Coffee maker Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. opened its first Keurig store on Nov 8, 2013, in order to increase the penetration of its Keurig Brewers among U.S. households.
The store is located in Burlington Mall, MA. It is very near to Green Mountain's research and development centre. The store offers visitors with an opportunity to become familiarized with the products of single-cup brewing system like Keurig K-Cup, Keurig Vue and Keurig Rivo. An interactive tool (aimed at customers who are new to the single-serve brewing system) will be provided to demonstrate the methods of operating the brewers.
Moreover, the store provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the flexibility of choosing beverages among the 200 varieties of Keurig Brewed coffees, teas, hot cocoas, specialty and Brew Over Ice beverages. The 'Pick a Pack' system allows the customers to mix-and-match several flavors. The 3-count, 6-count and 12-count boxes allow the customers to sample different flavors without having to buy a full single-flavor box.
The opening ceremony of the store was marked with exciting store promotions and activities for the visitors. The first 100 visitors were gifted with a complimentary Keurig Vue V700 single-cup brewer, and the first 50 shoppers celebrating a birthday or wedding anniversary on November 8, were gifted with Keurig Rivo Cappuccino and Latte system
The Keurig store is expected to help GMCR, carrying a Zacks Rank # 3 (Hold) increase its installed base to its targeted 16 million by the end of fiscal 2013. Moreover, it has several projects in the pipeline to expand both its 'away-from-home' and 'at-home' channels. From the beginning of this year, Green Mountain has been roping in consumer staple companies like Unilever Plc. (UL - Analyst Report), Starbucks Corporation (SBUX - Analyst Report) and Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. (DNKN - Analyst Report) into its Keurig distribution system to increase the popularity of this single-serve brewer. Through these agreements, Green Mountain is aligning with the strongest beverage brands to support a range of consumer choices and taste profiles in Keurig Single-Cup Brewing system.

Why should people buy organic? For a start, non-organic fruits and vegetables are covered in dangerous and toxic pesticides. These deadly chemicals have been shown to cause cancer and central nervous system damage.

Skip to comments.CONSERVATIVES GOING VIRAL IN MICHIGAN TO HELP SANTORUM!!!!!!
Posted on 02/27/2012 4:41:04 PM PST by Mountain Mary
A large part of the power of conservative movement support for Rick Santorum's campaign for President is that individual Tea Party and grassroots conservatives aren't waiting around for someone to tell them what to do; they are showing individual leadership by mounting-up and heading toward the sound of the guns to help Santorum in Michigan.
The lead in the Michigan polls has seesawed back and forth between the conservative Santorum and the establishment favorite -- moderate former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Romney's campaign team has always claimed to be confident that their superior fundraising would give them the firepower to defeat the insurgent Santorum campaign in the state where Romney's father was once Governor, even though the polls still show Romney behind within the margin of error.
Part of the reason that Santorum is still in the fight, despite the difference in resources, is undoubtedly because his campaign learned a thing or two since the Romney Death Star hovered over Florida and vaporized Newt Gingrich in $20 million of negative advertising. First and foremost among the lessons from Florida is that waiting around to gather the resources to compete with a Romney negative attack is a losing proposition. Santorum correctly got out in front of Romney with his now-famous "mud gun" ad reminding voters of Romney's propensity to go negative.
However, no one should underestimate the power of individual conservatives showing personal leadership and doing what conservatives always do when a job needs to be done -- mounting up and doing it.
Grassroots movement conservatives and Tea Partiers have added a lot of weight to the Santorum effort in Michigan simply by loading-up their email to tell their friends who can vote in Michigan why they support Rick Santorum and why it is vitally important to vote for Rick in that state's Republican Primary on February 28.
This viral support for Santorum does a lot to explain why Rick continues to do well in areas where he has never campaigned and has spent little or no money on advertising.
You, too, can be a conservative leader. If you have friends or contacts in Michigan it is not too late to let them know how important it is to vote in the Tuesday, February 28, Republican presidential primary. An easy way to get the message out is to share with them the CHQ article on why Tea Party and movement conservative leaders have endorsed Rick Santorum for President at http://www.conservativehq.com/article/6358-conservative-leaders-endorse-rick-santorum-president.
Richard A. Viguerie Chairman ConservativeHQ.com
I'd be curious to see Hannity's reaction as well.
At least two votes from the 7th District. My family in the 1st and most of my friends in the 8th are also voting for Santorum.
Another 7th district vote here.
Go Rick!
Hannity is hard to read. He is a devout Catholic and a personal friend of Newt's. But I woulda thought he'd be for Santorum personally.
Michigan Freepers: You're the best.
Ann will start pulling her dyed blonde hair out.
Meanwhile at Daytona it looks like the Santorum sponsored Tony Raines car is just cruising around toward the back where its safe. Not losing or gaining any ground.
If I lived in Michigan, I'd vote for Santorum
If I lived in Virginia, I'd vote for Ron Paul (Newt and Rick not on the ballot)
If I lived in Arizona, Georgia, or Texas I'd vote for Newt, as he is the one I support. But if I could help punch Mitt and his magic underwear out of the race or at least give him a big black eye, I would.
As JR might say, blow it out your ear.
We now know whom Newt and the Newt supporters are helping, Mitt Romney..
Well, I can relate to all but your Ron Paul sentiments, CD.
Do you realize that he is bat frikkin' crazy and called Santorum a "fake' on national TV?
How does this weaselworm avoid radar?
Santorum did not do well with Catholics in Pennsylvania.
So, by your standards, Newt Gingrich is supposed to halt his campaign IN TENNESSEE because MICHIGAN votes tomorrow?
I just noticed there's a ROEMER on the Arizona ballot. Maybe all the Mormon Romneybots will vote for he wrong guy.
Okay... wishful thinking but you know there will be a few who do make the mistake. Besides.. Roemer's first name is buddy? Who doesn't want a buddy?
"I'd be curious to see Hannity's reaction as well."
Same as always. Swing with the new wind direction and act as if he were always there.
"Hannity is hard to read. He is a devout Catholic and a personal friend of Newts. But I woulda thought hed be for Santorum personally."
He has subtly pulled for Bishop Willard since 2008. He once described Bishop Willard as a devout Christian, which tells me his Catholicism is as informed as Pelosi's.
Dear AC,
Newt is not campaigning in MI, but is fighting for the South. The South is not a safe house for union sympathizers, enablers and panderers. Rick has a legislative record that has been sitting there untouched, just waiting to be exposed for being full of his union pandering legislation.
How long did you expect Newt to sit on that fact?
Newt can not schedule his differences with Rick around Rick's campaign schedule. Newt giving Rick romping room is officially over.
Maybe you aren't familiar with Rick's record, otherwise you would know this was coming. Republicans aren't generally a brotherhood with the union in the South. It makes sense Newt would shine the light on his differences with Rick in the region where Newt is able to run and run hard.
Thank you, 144. I remember Father Netenhauer(?) said on Sean's show that he would have to deny Sean communion based on some cafeteria Catholic point or another that Sean had made repeatedly, but now I can not remember what it was, but I had thought the same thing of Sean's nominal, (VERY nominal) Catholicism.
At best, Sean has been likely been very poorly Catachized and at worst, well, I should not say, but saying of one's self that they are "devout" is a sure sign they may not be, nor because they imply such a thing does not make it true. Look at Pelosi. An abomination.
I am sure Hannity is sincere in his Catholicism, but it is very shaky in its doctrinal and intellectual foundations. He is just not very deep or even very well informed. He seems to be more of a people person than an idea person. His statement was something along the lines of "Romney is as much of a Christian as I am." I sincerely hope that statement is factually wrong, and that Hannity's own faith is real even if his knowledge of Mormonism is dangerously scant.
(Please note: I am not a Catholic (although I agree with most Catholic premises and doctrines), but it appalls me when public figures grossly misstate what Catholicism does or does not hold true, apparently based on being born into a Catholic family and attending Mass at haphazard intervals.)
Okay, devout..maybe not so much.
I'm just so disappointed with Sean now. He was a voice for the principles of Conservatism at one time..but since Faux has gone left, he seems much more concerned about making Roger and Murdoch happy, ie keeping his job...than being a champion of for the right.
"Looks like we can't expect Newt to help Rick in Michigan, he was attacking Rick in his speech in Tennessee today."
Looks like Saint Ricks Supporters want Newt to just concede the South as well.
You actually think Santorum can beat Obammy. ROFL.
With Santorum as the Nominee get ready to welcome four more years of obammy.
"He has subtly pulled for Bishop Willard since 2008"
Would love to hear the conversations between Sean and Levin who is supporting Santorum..
Mark's not one to mince words...probably givin' his best friend a smackdown.
I appreciate your incisive remarks. BTW, it was Father Eutenhauer who when pressed by Sean finally and forthrightly said he would have to deny Sean communion. Sean didn't like it one bit. Naturally.
It was like a zot. LOL! You knew it should be coming, and finally Eutenhauer came up with it. :)
With the correct name, you could google the exchange if you should be so disposed. thanks.
In my opinion, based on his TV show, Hannity has been subtly pulling for Newt. This is also what the Romneybots think when I've spied on their chat room.
Mary, I didn't want to say.
Sean is a player for FAUX, and an intolerable noise maker. Have not watched HANNITY, even if Newt is on! Dig that! (That's pretty bad. LOL!)
He is no intellect and injects his foolishness constantly into the guests commentary, talking over his guests every bit as bad as O'Reilly, delivering platitudes and "I", "I",
"I", until I want to smack his sanctomonious self.
I am left with GRETA once in awhile for a check in, and when I know she is having someone special on. Love her space for Rush, and her consistently heavy weight guests. Guys and gals who are doing the lifting, for good or ill.
Thanks, Mary.
"Looks like we can't expect Newt to help Rick in Michigan, he was attacking Rick in his speech in Tennessee today."
Newt should realize that getting Mitt out of the race helps Newt, too.

Ghost in the Shell Casts Michael Pitt as Villain
Michael Pitt will clash with Scarlett Johansson in the live-action (and decidedly Americanized) Ghost in the Shell movie. The film has been off and on in the works for several years at Dreamworks, and has recently been picking up steam.
Rupert Sanders is directing the film, and it's scheduled to release March 31, 2017.
Pitt will play The Laughing Man, THR reports, a character not from the original Ghost in the Shell anime film or manga, but from the later TV series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. He's a high-end hacker, and keeps his face (and acts) hidden behind the logo seen above.
Scarlett Johansson is playing the lead role, though it's unclear if they'll be renaming her character, who in the manga and anime films and series is named Motoko Kusanagi, a Japanese operative.

NBC's Taken Prequel Series Finds Its Young Bryan Mills
NBC is moving forward with its Taken prequel series. Now, it has officially cast its young Bryan Mills.
Clive Standen of Vikings will take on the role originally portrayed by Liam Neeson in the film trilogy which also starred LOST alum Maggie Grace and X-Men star Famke Janssen.
The drama is described as a modern-day prequel to the franchise's films. Rather than a capable retired CIA veteran, we'll see Bryan Mills in his early days of his career learning how to gain those skills. Perhaps, down the line, we'll even see how he met Lenore.
Standen's Bryan Mills will begin his adventures as a black ops agent in the elite Emergency Covert Action Team. Homeland's Alexander Cary will write the series and executive produce with Taken writer/producer Luc Besson.
Standen's credits, in addition to 30 episodes as Rollo on Vikings, include the Starz series Camelot and last year's acclaimed film, Everest.

Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry and Trevor Roth have been named executive producers of the upcoming Star Trek series, joining Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin and Bryan Fuller. Roddenberry is the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and the president of Roddenberry Entertainment. Roth is the COO of Roddenberry Entertainment.
Gene Roddenberry, the Great Bird of the Galaxy, left a finely feathered nest for all who love Star Trek to enjoy, Bryan Fuller said in a statement. And it is only fitting that Rod Roddenberry and Roddenberry Entertainment join our new Trek adventure to ensure that his fathers legacy of hope for the future and infinite diversity in infinite combinations runs through our tales as Gene Roddenberry intended.
Star Trek Rod RoddenberryMoral dilemmas, human issues, complex characters, and a genuine sense of optimism: These are the cornerstones of Star Trek and are what have made it such an influential and beloved franchise for the last 50 years, Eugene Rod Roddenberry said. While I will always be humbled by its legacy and the legions of fans who are its guardians, its a genuine honor to be joining a team of imaginative and incredibly capable individuals whose endeavor it is to uphold the tenants of Star Treks legacy while bringing it to audiences in a new era and on a contemporary platform.
The new series will launch in the United States with a special preview broadcast on the CBS Television Network in early 2017. The premiere episode and all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS All Access. The series will also be available on television stations and platforms in other countries around the world.

Havok as MacGyver
Hollywood has gone MacGyver mad in the last couple of years, with the film version in development via James Wan evolving into a TV pilot focusing on the younger years of the character famously brought to life in the 1980s by Richard Dean Anderson. Now Lucas Till has landed the role of Angus MacGyver.
The TV series turns back to the clock to find MacGyver in the earliest days of his career, after he's recruited to help a clandestine government organisation stop international crime and disasters. He has a talent for coming up with unorthodox solutions and making use of whatever happens to be around at the time, from paper clips and chewing gum. And he never goes anywhere without his trusty pen knife.
Also new to the cast? Joshua Boone, who will play Gunner, MacGyver's best friend from high school. They join George Eads, playing Lincoln, a conspiracy theorist with more than the usual amount of knowledge.
The pilot has a script from Paul Downs Colaizzo and Brett Mahoney, and will be directed by David Von Ancken. Wan, who had planned to shoot the pilot but is now too busy finishing The Conjuring 2, remains aboard as a producer alongside MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff.
Till, who at least has the hair to be able to pull off the classic MacGyver mullet (doubt they'll go quite that far), will next be seen in X-Men: Apocalypse, due here on May 19.

RIP Garry Shandling
Comedian, actor, writer and producer Garry Shandling, known for Its Garry Shandlings Show and The Larry Sanders Show, has died, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed. He was 66.
The cause of death has not been released, but a spokesperson for the LAPD said Shandling had a medical emergency on Thursday and died at an L.A. hospital.
The influential comedian was not known to be suffering from any illnesses, and just a few days ago retweeted Kathy Griffins photo of himself, her and Bob Odenkirk.
Shandling was known for his neurotic observational humor, particularly about romantic relationships, and his no-holds-barred skewering of showbiz in his inventive TV shows. The Larry Sanders Show was one of the early pillars of HBOs original series strategy, garnering Emmy Awards and critical acclaim during its 1992-1998 run.
Born in Chicago, he was raised in Tucson, Ariz., and started out majoring in electrical engineering before completing a marketing degree at the University of Arizona. After moving to Los Angeles, he sold a script for Sanford and Son and also wrote for Welcome Back, Kotter. He guest-hosted on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and was in consideration to become Carsons replacement.
In 1986, he created his own sitcom Its Garry Shandlings Show, also an early original series effort for Showtime. The show, also co-created by Alan Zweibel, was nominated for four Emmys, and ran until 1990. The show was noted for being one that often broke the fourth wall, with Shandling speaking directly to the audience, and he played a version of himself: a stand-up comedian aware of the fact that he is a sitcom character. Even the theme song was self-referential from the opening line: This is the theme to Garrys show
The seeds of Larry Sanders Show were planted on Showtime in 1986 when Shandling hosted The Garry Shandling Show 25th Anniversary Special, a parody of a Johnny Carson-esque anniversary special. He starred and co-created Larry Sanders Show, set in the office of a fictional late-night talk show, with Dennis Klein. Shandling was nominated for 18 Emmys for the show and, along with Peter Tolan, won an Emmy for the series finale.
The Larry Sanders Show was said to have a lasting impact on TV comedy, influencing such series as Curb Your Enthusiasm. It cracked several best of lists, including Times 100 Best TV Shows of All Time. Judd Apatow was among the staff writers on the show who went on to become a major player in the industry.
NBC offered him $5 million to take over Late Night when David Letterman moved to CBS in 1993, but he declined. He was also offered The Late Late Show but declined to do the Larry Sanders Show.
He was also a formidable host, hosting the Grammys in 1990, 1993 and 1994, and the Emmys in 2000 and 2004.
He appeared in and did voices for films including Iron Man 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Dr. Dolittle, Zoolander and Over the Hedge.
Shandling was never married. TMZ first reported the news.

FLCL Seasons 2 And 3 Announced By Adult Swim
Adult Swim swim has announced a partnership with animation studio Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell) to produce Seasons 2 and 3 of FLCL, the cult favorite anime released in 2000. The original 6-episode series followed Naota, a 12-year-old boy who met a woman that changed his life forever. Seasons 2 and 3 will each be new six-episode seasons continuing the original series story.
The original FLCL is an anime classic and has been a fixture on Adult Swim since we first laid eyes on it, said Jason DeMarco, senior vice president/creative director, Adult Swim On-Air in a press release. Im beyond thrilled to be able to produce a sequel with the original creators, for Toonami, where it belongs.
FLCL series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki will return for the new season, serving as supervisor with director Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Also joining this season is writer Hideto Iwai (Last Dinner).
FLCL has become an anime classic over the years, yet it has remained vibrant, said Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, co-founder, president and CEO of Production I.G. This new season will capture the hearts of both longtime FLCL fans from around the world and new anime viewers.
Unfortunately, there was no mention of the Japanese rock group The Pillows returning for the new season. The Pillows soundtrack was as defining a feature of the original FLCL as the animation itself.
Heres the season 2 synopsis:
In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot Canti go?
All of these questions and more will be answered in the new season of the series, which is set to premiere in late 2017/early 2018 on Adult Swim.

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS Reveals Its First Images
Valérian and Laureline is certain to stand out among its many fellow comic books to earn big screen adaptation these days. The French series, which began its run in 1967, followed the missions of a fairly classic adventuring duothe titular spaciotemporal agentsacross planets, galaxies, and dimensions. Although you might liken the vast, imaginative exploits of Valérian and Laureline to American fictions many intergalactic adventurers, there was always something a little bit stranger and more cerebralyou know, Frencherabout their outings. This gives director Luc Besson plenty of room to go wild in the upcoming film adaptation, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
We catch sight of the expansive imagination inherent to the Valerian story in these first photos from the movie, which debuted over at Entertainment Weekly. Front and center are stars Dane DeHaanupgraded to hero status after playing the heavy in his last comic book film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2as Valérian, and Cara Delevingne as Laureline. Delevingne will likewise showcase her penchant for villainy in Suicide Squad, in which she plays the DC Comics sorceress Enchantress.
Though otherwise prone to cinematic criminal activity, DeHaan and Delevingne are going pure spacetime heroes in Bessons picture, and ones charged with protecting the expanses of the unexplored universe to boot.
As much as these images do show us, they really only serve to raise questions. Slight glimpses at pieces of otherworldly technology and backdrops have us wondering where Besson will go with his newest story. The biggest question of the lot, though, has got to be: Whos behind that big, black, metallic mask? We know that the character in question is an officer named K-Tron, but since most of the supporting players on board are thus far assigned to unknown roles, we havent a clue of wholl be laying down the law in his shoes. Could it be John Goodman? Ethan Hawke? Rihanna? Not jokesactual possibilities, people.
If youre intrigued by the photos but need to bone up on your Valérian and Laureline, check back to EW to read their extensive interview with Besson about the project. The film hits theaters July 2017.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to outdoor area irrigation systems, and more particularly to apparatus for prevention of freezing of water in exposed components.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In communities where water for outdoor irrigation systems for lawns and gardens and the like are supplied by a public or private water utility, governmental codes or ordinances typically require, at the user site, a backflow preventer at the connection from the utility supply to the user's system. The purpose is to prevent flow of contaminated water backward from the user system into the potable water system of the utility due to back-siphoning conditions.
One type of backflow prevention apparatus widely used in lawn irrigation systems is a pressure vacuum breaker valve assembly mounted above ground very close to the water meter and between the water outlet from the meter and the inlet to the irrigation system. During the fall of the year, when ambient temperatures are dropping, it sometimes happens that there is an unseasonable and unusually sharp drop in ambient temperature below the freezing mark. The ground is still warm so there is virtually no danger of water freezing in the underground pipes. However, the backflow preventer valve assembly and the pipes leading to and from it, are above ground.
While it is customary to drain lawn irrigation systems during the fall of the year in the colder climates, it often happens that the owner or manager of the property on which the irrigation system is installed, wants irrigation to continue until a time well into the fall of the year, to maintain the appearance of the property. So, the draining of the system may be delayed until a sudden drop in ambient temperature is predicted. The owner, manager or irrigation service provider frequently does not have the time to drain all of the systems before the temperature drops below freezing. Therefore, the above ground pipes to and from the backflow preventer valve, and which are still pressurized, have water in them which is subjected to the freezing temperatures and can freeze, resulting in breakage of the valve assembly and associated above-ground piping, and significant loss of water (particularly where the property is unattended) when the temperature rises again to normal ambient for that time of the year. The result is significant cost for repair and wasted water, and possible water damage.
Various insulating devices to prevent freezing pipes and hose bibs have been devised. The closest one of which I am aware for a backflow prevention water valve is shown in U.S. Pat. No. Des. 349,754. Irrigation systems are of various sizes and capacities, depending on the area to be irrigated and the available water supply pressures and volume. Therefore, the backflow preventer apparatus also is available in various sizes and types, to accommodate the overall system. In addition, the terrain is not always level, and the surface at the location of the preventer apparatus may be irregular.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for reducing the risk of freezing of water in backflow prevention apparatus subjected to transient below-freezing ambient temperatures.
Described briefly, according to a typical embodiment of the present invention, a cover, somewhat in the nature of a pillow slip, is made of thermal insulating material, preferably with a waterproof outside surface and a heat-reflecting inside surface. The cover has an open bottom end like a pillow slip but with a closed hem containing a relatively dense liquid or fluid-like solid granular or pelletized or powered material surrounding the bottom opening. The cover is foldable flat or in any desired configuration for storage. To cover the backflow preventer apparatus, according to the method of the invention, the cover is installed, open end down, over the backflow prevention apparatus, and the entire perimeter of the lower edge is engaged with the ground surface. The fill material, being heavy, holds the cover down on the ground and, being fluid-like, enables the perimeter of the open end to engage the contour of the ground throughout the perimeter to provide an effective cover-to-ground seal. Apertured tabs are provided at the hem to enable installation of anchor stakes, if desired.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view showing, schematically an installation site of a backflow prevention assembly on a hillside with irregular ground surface and showing, in cross section, a cover according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a view of the cover itself in a totally relaxed state.
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the cover as installed in FIG. 1 and showing the backflow preventer valve assembly in phantom, and not showing anchor stakes.
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the cover.
FIG. 5A is a bottom plan view of the cover flattened for folding or rolling up for storage.
FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the cover flattened and bunched for storage.
FIG. 6 is a view like FIG. 1 but showing an embodiment with electrically heated cover.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 shows a hillside ground installation site 11 of a backflow prevention apparatus 12. An underground water meter 13 is shown schematically and out of scale in terms of depth in the ground and location relative to the preventer valve assembly. The meter has input at 14 from a water utility, and output 16 which is connected to a water system in a building or other utilization site (not shown) on the property. A branch 17 from the meter output extends upward through the ground 18 to the backflow preventer valve assembly 19. Pipe 21 extends from the outlet of the valve assembly down into the ground and to a sprinkler system control valve 22, typically located in a box 23 and having an electrically operated solenoid 24 therein to control water to the distribution system including, for example, a sprinkler head 26. This equipment is conventional.
According to the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, an insulated cover assembly 27 is provided. This includes a cover in the form of a bag 28 shown in section in FIG. 1 and open at the bottom. The bottom is defined by the lower edge 31 of the opening and, in the illustrated example, the bag material is formed into a hem sealed to the interior at 32 and forming a tube 33 around the entire perimeter of the bag at the bottom. This base tube is filled with a flowable filler material, typically in the form of dry sand which has a greater density, by weight, than the material of the bag itself. Also, since the bag material itself is flexible, and the filler material is flowable, the lower edge 31 of the bag conforms precisely to the contours of the ground at the installation site. In addition, the filler material causes the bag to snugly engage the ground entirely around the perimeter of the bag opening, even though the surface of the ground is irregular as shown. Thus, it provides ballast for the cover. While the bag material is flexible, it is preferable that the tubular portion be sufficiently inelastic, to avoid the flowable material flowing to the lowest point in a hillside installation, and thereby avoid depriving upper portions of the tube of the seating ballast. For additional security, if needed, particularly on a hillside as shown, tabs 34 are provided at the bottom of the bag and have apertures 36 therein to receive stakes 37 which can be driven into the ground to further anchor the bag. Additional tabs may be provided if desired.
In the use of the cover, it can be erected from a relatively flat state as shown in FIG. 5A and 5B or a rolled-up or folded state, however one has stored it. Then the bottom is opened up from the configuration of FIG. 5 to that of FIG. 4, simply by pulling the opening open by hand and sliding the cover down over the backflow prevention apparatus and downward until the lowered edge 31 meets the ground all the way around the prevention apparatus. Since the bag material is so flexible, it can deform from the normal, as-manufactured configuration shown in FIG. 2, to the configuration shown in FIG. 1 to adapt to the grade and contour of the ground surface. The weight of the flowable material 33M in the tubular portion at the bottom, holds the bag down and in compliance with the slope and irregularities in the ground surface. As mentioned above, if additional security is desired, stakes 37 can be driven through the apertures 36 in the tabs. Of course, if the backflow prevention apparatus happens to be installed on level, smooth ground at the site, it can be installed just as easily, and can be staked if desired. The ground surface can be dirt, gravel, mulch, grass, or any other surface likely to be encountered at an installation site for a backflow preventer.
FIG. 6 is an illustration of another embodiment of the invention in which an electrical heating element 41 is embedded in the cover material 42 much in the same manner as in an electric blanket, and is supplied by a battery pack 43 which can be plugged into an electric supply cord 44 for recharging or direct supply from an electrical power source available at or near the site. In this case, the amount or quality of the insulating material itself need not be as great, as long as the power supply, and battery duration, if unplugged, are adequate for the period of the temperature drop.
The flowable ballast material in the perimeter tube at the bottom of the cover in both embodiments, can be any of a variety of relatively heavy materials. Examples are sand, pellets of metal, or a liquid not likely to freeze in cold climates where irrigation is employed. It is desirable that the cover material itself be waterproof on the outside and have a reflective interior surface so that heat in the ground tending to pass outward into the enclosure provided by the cover, will be reflected back toward the ground and thus surround the water containing components of the backflow prevention apparatus, and inhibit freezing. Of course, the material should have an insulating capability of its own such as is common in garments, sleeping bags and other insulating shell-type of materials. One example of a man-made material which may be useful for this purpose is Gortex� as produced by the W. R. Grace Company, Inc. Another is SympaTex� by Akzo Nobel Faser AKG. of Wuppertal Germany. Another is Polartec� by Malden Mills Industries, Inc. of Lawrence MA. As suggested above, the cover can be provided in various sizes and shapes to accommodate some various types and sizes of backflow prevention apparatus. Two of many possible examples of sizes are: 30 inches high by 15 inches wide by 15 inches long, and 36 inches high by 15 inches wide by 30 inches long.
The present invention makes it easy for the property owner, manager, custodian or attendant, to quickly address the matter of a sharp drop of ambient temperature to a level below freezing, and thereby avoid damage to the above-ground components of an irrigation system. The cover assembly can be conveniently installed and removed, according to need.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only two embodiments have been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

There are many posts about this same issue. Apparently there's a problem with the Apple app site. You'll just have to wait and try again later.

I ordered the calender, I paid for several copies, nothing arrived. I installed all that they suggested, nothing.
With all the other complaints on here it would seem that it is a load of rubbish. Would'nt it be good to actually speak to someone .

Talk About a Field of Dreamboats: Whether They're Actors, Athletes, Scientists or Musicians, These Undeniably Sexy Guys Are the Pick of the Crop
sexiest single guy
Julia Roberts was guilty of understatement in July when she announced her breakup with Benjamin Bratt. "He is, to the exaltation of the female single population, not my man anymore," she told David Letterman. Exaltation? Try fibrillation. When Stephen Gaghan, director of Bratt's upcoming thriller Abandon, accompanied Bratt to a park in L.A. recently, "it was like I had shown up with Elvis," he says. "All the young moms and nannies were trying not to look at Benjamin, but they were having heart palpitations. You could see them fluttering." The 6'2" actor, best known for his role as Det. Rey Curtis on NBC's Law & Order (1995-99), doesn't rest on his chiseled cheekbones or buff biceps. Bratt possesses a solid work ethic (he paid for his master's degree in theater by driving a passenger van to and from the San Francisco airport), and his close-knit upbringing (he's one of five kids born to a Peruvian mother and an English-German father) instilled an abiding love of family. Since his split from Roberts, the 37-year-old actor told Latina magazine he's looking for a woman who is "maternal...because if I'm with her, my intention is to make her the mother of my children." And what a lucky brood they'll be. Bratt "exudes warmth as he walks through a room," says Nelle Nugent, who produced his 2001 TV movie After the Storm. "He gets what he wants by being thoughtful, by treating everyone with the utmost courtesy."
