Although gland function may be expected to follow endocrine autotransplantation in the majority of instances, unmodified endocrine allografts appear to undergo immunologic rejection within 8 to 14 days without ever giving clear evidence of function. An exception to this course of events has been suggested by Medawar,1 who first demonstrated in rabbits that allografts ectopically implanted into certain "immunologically privileged sites," such as the anterior chamber of the eye or the brain, will frequently survive, presumably because of the scant supply of lymphatics to these areas and resultant modification of the characteristic rejection reaction. Although there are conflicting reports regarding the ability of "privileged sites" to permit prolonged survival and function after allogeneic thyroid implantation1-3; neither of the sites that have been studied is of practical significance for clinical ap plication, and they have served primarily as investigational models.

UEFA Champions League 2004-2005
Fifa 2005, Uefa Champions League 2004-2005 and Fifa Street are all soccer games from EA which have found their way to the market within 5 months. EA keeps pouring out new soccer games and who will stop them ? Personally I find it all a bit over the top and they're seriously milking their cow even at such a level that you start to doubt the quality and the use. Others on the other hand are pleased with the variation but EA doesn't care at all as long as their games keep bringing in money.
At Fragland they're not really keen on reviewing this type of games so I got the "honor" to get a closer look at Uefa Champions League 2004-2005!
You don't need to be an Einstein to know what EA's next title will offer. Indeed, you need to win the presitgious soccer gala and conquer the cup with the 2 big ears. Of course that isn't all as this title offer more, luckily! In the intro you'll find what are probably the best graphics of the entire game as it's just like you're following a match on your television screen. Not that I'm implying that the graphics are bad, but they certainly could be better like in FIFA 2005.
As I said, winning the Champion's League is only a small part. You can start as a trainer, do a season and fullfil missions. This brings us to our first downpoints: you can only play with an English, French, German, Italian or Spanish team. If you thought about playing with Ajax, PSV or Anderlecht, think again and look for another game.
Difference with FIFA 2005 are the missions you get as trainer. The first one you'll always get is "Everything or Nothing" where you need to play the last game of last season to be able to enter the Champion's League. If you loose, the game is over and you restart. If you win you get a couple of other missions to finally be able to win the league.
To keep variation present, every mission is different and you get money for every one you've succesfully terminated. As such there's one where you HAVE to sell a defender, midfielder and attacker and HAVE to buy three new ones in their place. Don't throw your XBox out of the window if you don't succeed as you don't have to do them again if you've finished the first. By doing these missions you can also unlock 25 attributes including a soccer from the 1930's.
Major disappointment for me was the gameplay. No radar to be found and when you play there are black strokes on top and bottom of your screen. It looks like you're watching a game on tv and EA must have thought that would be fun. Unlike me however as I found it irritating as hell not to have an entire screen at my disposal. Even worse was the AI, your opponent ticking the ball in a triangle all the time and not even having the possibility like in PES to block 2 people makes it very hard to take over the ball. Even on "Amateur" level it's a hellish job to get past the opponent's defense so be prepared to practise a lot if you want to make a decent impression.
EA did succeed to improve the referee, he can now also make mistakes just like in real life. Whistling a corner or a penalty while he shouldn't have, he more human than ever…
The devs also managed to create a suiting atmosphere, the EA Sports Talk Radio. This can only be heard in season mode when you're done playing a game. Listeners and fans that call to the station to voice their opinion, commentaries that give their idea's before and after the match, all properties that make a nice and original radio.
The graphics are decent but could use an upgrade. FIFA 2005 looked a lot more beautiful to me. The players and stadium are recognisable but the audience looks like one big happy family as they all look the same and all move in the same direction. Maybe EA should wait a little longer before sending a new game onto the market.
Uefa Champions League 2004-2005 is a decent soccer game, but people who own PES4 or FIFA 2005 surely don't need to get out to buy this one. The missions and the EA Sports Talk Radio are nice and bring some variation while the referee has become a bit more human which makes things more realistic. The irritating gameplay and graphics that could be improved downgrade the overall experience.

Armed Services Committee Calls
for Clear Accountability on Nuclear Weapons Security
Today, the House Armed Services Committee reported out of committee a resolution (H.Res. 534) that expresses the sense of the House of Representatives concerning the security failures at the Department of Energy. Upon conclusion of the mark up, committee Chairman Floyd Spence issued the following statement:
"The House Armed Services Committee has been deeply involved in investigating and legislating fixes to address the fundamental breakdown in national security procedures within the DOE nuclear weapons complex. Notwithstanding repeated assurances by Secretary Richardson to the contrary, the recent security failures have once again confirmed that the DOE national laboratory complex and Los Alamos in particular suffer from serious and unacceptable deficiencies in how the nation's most sensitive nuclear secrets are protected.
"This resolution calls for the individuals charged with responsibility for policy and management of security matters at the Department of Energy, the NNSA and Los Alamos to be held accountable for this deplorable performance. H.Res. 534 also calls upon the newly installed Administrator for Nuclear Security, General John Gordon, to take immediate and aggressive action to improve all policies and procedures to safeguard nuclear weapons material and information within the NNSA. Only continued vigilance and aggressive action of this type can address the deep-rooted and bureaucratic problems that led to this fundamental breakdown in security procedures."
# # #
The committee also considered four bills concerning matters related to the management of the nuclear security programs of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The committee's action on these bills is consistent with continued efforts to strengthen the NNSA and enhance and tighten the overall security of the nuclear weapons complex.
The NNSA was established in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public Law 106-65). NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within DOE charged with responsibility for the management of the Nation's nuclear security programs. The Administrator reports directly to the Secretary of Energy. The creation of the NNSA represents Congress' most significant legislative action taken in response to criticism of DOE for lax security at its weapons laboratories that allowed the People's Republic of China to steal some of the countries most sensitive nuclear weapons secrets. These reforms marked the first major DOE reorganization since the department was established two decades ago.

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich responded to an offbeat question Monday with withering criticism — not of the questioner, as Popovich is known to do, but of the subject matter.
In this case, the subject was the shutdown of the U.S. government, which shows no sign of ending soon. Popovich was asked before Monday's exhibition in Denver whether he has discussed the doings in Washington with his cosmopolitan roster. Take it away, Pop:
The money quote: "Children fighting over toys."
In case you're wondering: MySanAntonio.com (via CBSSports.com) reported (through various other sources) that Popovich contributed $5,000 to President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.

A man was shot multiple times Wednesday and left for dead along the Mississippi River batture in Bridge City. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office identified the shooting victim as Nicholas Rogers, 29.
A resident from the nearby neighborhood discovered the body near the 3400 block of River Road about 12:30 p.m. The resident rushed to Banting's Nursery, located just across the street, and asked them to call police.
"He was riding his bicycle on the levee and he saw the body and came and got us," Banting's employee Phillip Lowery said.
The employees ventured to the top of the levee, looked over and down and spotted the man's body at the bottom of the incline. "There was a big puddle of blood by his head," Lowery said.
Deputies found several shell casings from an unidentified type of weapon at the scene.
Rogers, of 142 Third Emmanuel in Bridge City, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, said Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the department. Investigators don't think the man's body had been there for very long, Fortunato said.
Staffers at Banting's, which opened around 8 a.m., said they did not hear any gunshots while at work. Investigators told them it's possible the man was killed overnight.
. . . . . . . .
Anyone with information about the murder is asked to call detective Michael Patrick at 504.364.5300. The public can also call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 877.903.7867. Tips can be texted to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637); text TELLCS then the crime information.

This week, the Supreme Court denied the likely last gasp for the Joe Shuster Estate re: Superman. Variety reports:
The Supreme Court's action lets stand a lower court ruling in favor of DC Comics, which has blocked efforts by Shuster's family members to reclaim copyrights in Superman. A provision of the Copyright Act allows authors to terminate and reclaim previous assignments of copyrights, although certain conditions must first be met.
The decision on Monday means that a lower court ruling stands in favor of DC Comics, which contended that a 1992 deal they made with Shuster's sister Jean Peavy and Frank Shuster had given up their ability to reclaim the Superman copyrights. The deal included pension payments of about $25,000 per year.
The story was also reported on by NBC news, FOX, and pretty much everywhere else.
The fan community has always held out hope that the case would be heard by the Supreme Court in some fireworks display of justice. I get that. But legal scholars have always cautioned against that optimism. Justice — and the law — isn't that simple. Superman, and this case, certainly is not.
But now that I am no longer writing the book, so to speak, I don't have to be so objective. Of all the parties involved, I think the Shusters have been taken advantage by nearly every single party they have come in contact with. Don't get me wrong, there have been bad things on all sides of this case — some of them unforgivable. But now that legal avenues have been exhausted (how many times have we said that?), it is my strong hope that DC one day acknowledges Joe's family — the artist who co-created Superman — with a more appropriate settlement. It is not the most important thing in the world (the Shusters would be the first to agree), but that's my two cents. When a settlement does come — someday — to this case of two dead men, I hope that both families are treated in equal measure. Because that is what a settlement should acknowledge. That is what they did.
This image by the great Drew Friedman is available here as a very limited print. I have mine.
Drew's new book Heroes of the Comics (just out) is fantastic: not only does he provide great facts and stories about each person, but his portraits of them offer their own narratives as to who these people actually were. I haven't gone back to a book like I have with this one in a long time. Highest possible recommendation, especially as a gift (for yourself, too).
For those of you who subscribe to the blog — thank you! I think that the Court case offers a good time to take a hiatus. Or an Adam Warlock cocooning. I will have a big announcement soon — the next book! — which is going to be very, very different.

The start of training camp is in just a few days and will feature an abundance of intriguing storylines and positional battles. The most competitive position battle that this particular camp has to offer is at wide receiver. 12 players each with different skillsets and qualities will vie for 5-6 roster spots. Who will make the cut? My projections and reasons for each player are shown below.
Sidney Rice – Lock
Rice was signed from Minnesota with the hope that he would develop into a #1 receiver. During his first year he was anything but that guy, ravaged most of the season by injuries. However, he did show flashes of that incredible playmaking ability. Finally regaining his health this year, the team is counting on him to step up and make a big impact. There is no reason for the team to cut Rice.
Doug Baldwin – Lock
Last season, Baldwin came out of nowhere to win a roster spot and lead the team in both receptions and yards. Baldwin made his impact primarily as a slot-receiver, something we have been in dire need of since the departure of Bobby Engram. He is looking to lock down that position for years to come during this season, and I think he is here to stay for quite some time.
Golden Tate – Lock
Tabbing Tate as a lock may come as a surprise, but his roster spot should be safe unless something dramatic occurs. Towards the end of last season, he finally began to unlock his playmaking potential. He was unable to participate during OTA's due to injuries, but should be ready to light up camp in a few days. Keep in mind that he is a former second-round pick with plenty of initial expectations, so I'd expect to see him stick around and make an impact this year.
Ben Obomanu – Probable
Obomanu may not be the flashiest guy on the field, but he sure knows how to do everything right. As a seventh-year veteran that knows how to play each receiver position, his leadership and versatility will seemingly keep him on the roster. Unless one of the younger players is able to unseat Obomanu, he should be back.
Ricardo Lockette – Questionable
Last offseason, Lockette was signed (undrafted free-agent) as a project for the future. Little did anyone know, he would terrorize opposing defenses with his blazing speed in the last two games of the season. He has the potential to consistently stretch defenses vertically with his speed and size. However, he is still very raw and has much to learn. It will take a fantastic camp for him to secure a roster spot.
Deon Butler – Questionable
Butler was originally envisioned to be the guy that stretched opposing defenses. Thus far in his career, it has become evident that his lack of size will likely prevent him from becoming that type of player. As the smallest player on the team (5'10", 182 lbs), one has to think about how hard it is fulfill that role if he is at such a physical disadvantage. I like Deon Butler, but I think his odds of making the team are in great jeopardy.
Kris Durham – Questionable
Durham is the tall, lengthy receiver that Pete Carroll likes to possess on offense. The subtraction of Mike Williams helped Durham's chances, but the addition of tight end Kellen Winslow hampered his stock. With the amount of two tight end sets they will be running on offense with Winslow and Zach Miller, it's questionable how much of a necessity Durham will become. He is a former fourth-round pick, however, so I'd give him a chance of making the team.
Phil Bates – Doubtful
Bates is an undrafted rookie with a unique skillset as he can throw, catch, and run the ball. He is an undrafted rookie after all, so his chances of making the team are slim.
Jermaine Kearse – Doubtful
During his career at Washington, Kearse flashed his NFL-caliber "stuff" many times. His one downfall was the lack of consistency. If he is able to dominate camp like Doug Baldwin did last year, he has a shot at the 53-man roster. He is likely more of a suitable candidate for the practice squad.
Cameron Kenney, Charly Martin, Lavasier Tuinei – Very Doubtful
These three players are likely "camp bodies"; I wouldn't expect them to make the roster this year.
Roster: Rice, Baldwin, Tate, Obomanu, Lockette, Durham
Practice Squad: Bates, Kearse
Cut: Butler, Kenney, Martin, Tuinei

Ford Escape
Escape Overall: Lovely to look at and just as lovely to drive, in only two short years the latest Ford Escape is now a ubiquitous sight.
Drivetrain: Plenty of engine choices, all of the four-cylinder variety in the name of fuel economy.
Despite Ford doing very little to the previous Escape over the years, the compact tall wagon kept selling like hotcakes. The sleeker second-generation's radically different sheetmetal is just one reason why the Escape is more popular than ever. Its slightly larger dimensions mean greater rear-seat room plus slightly more passenger and cargo volume with the rear seat in place or folded flat. The interior is inviting, with an attractively segmented gauge/control panel with asymmetric air vents. The floor shifter's position at the base of the dashboard partially blocks the heating/ventilation controls, but makes the area designated for cupholders and armrest/storage more accessible. The up-level Titanium model features well-bolstered front seats that are a major advancement over that of earlier Escapes. The base front-wheel-drive S model runs with a 168-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while the front- and all-wheel-drive SE designation uses a 178-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder. A 237-horsepower turbo four-cylinder (also from Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup) is standard on the SEL and Titanium trims. A hybrid version won't be available this time around since Ford's C-Max hybrid wagon uses that drive system. Sadly for a few "Escapees," the six-speed manual gearbox has shifted away from the Escape lineup, leaving only a six-speed automatic (with a detent for manual gear selection) as the sole transmission. A new "intelligent" all-wheel-drive system can be ordered with the turbocharged models. It continually assesses road conditions and driver inputs "about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye" and can shift up to 100 percent of the available power to either the front or rear wheels for maximum grip. The Escape is the first Ford to offer both torque vectoring control and curve control to help distribute the correct amount of power to each wheel when cornering so that the vehicle maintains its intended path. The new-tech gear extends to the option sheet, which is understandably lengthy considering the Escape's four distinct trims. But the most unique option is the power liftgate that automatically opens and closes when you shake your foot hokey pokey-style beneath the bumper (great when your hands are full of kids and/or groceries). For 2014 it can be ordered with an integrated trailer hitch.
Base price (including destination): $23,600
Type: Four-door compact tall wagon.
Base engine (horsepower): 2.5-liter DOHC I4 (168).
Optional engines (horsepower): 1.6-liter DOHC I4, turbocharged (173); 2.0-liter DOHC I4, turbocharged (237).
Layout: Front-engine, front- /four-wheel-drive.
Transmission: Six-speed automatic.
MPG (city/highway): 23/31 (2.5, FWD).
Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; stability control; traction control.
Weight (pounds): 3,500

Top Job Available? Mark Carney's Name Could Come Up
By Paul Vieira
Mark Carney's name seems to come up pretty often whenever a high-profile job becomes available anywhere in the world.
Last year, the Bank of Canada governor was touted as a dark horse candidate to take over as managing director of the International Monetary Fund, after Dominique Strauss-Kahn stepped down as a result of being implicated in a sex scandal. France's Christine Lagarde eventually got the job.
Earlier this year, British newspaper reports said Mr. Carney had been informally approached about succeeding Mervyn King as head of the Bank of England. Mr. Carney said the report was "not accurate" and that he was focused on the two big jobs he does hold: head of Canada's central bank and chairman of the Financial Stability Board.
Thursday, a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. report suggested unidentified senior members of Canada's Liberal Party are working behind the scenes to persuade Mr. Carney to ditch his central banking job and jump into the political arena. The Liberal Party members reportedly want Mr. Carney to campaign to become leader of the federal party, which is now the third party in Canada's Parliament after suffering its worst defeat yet in the 2011 election. The draft Carney story emerged after reports said Justin Trudeau, the son of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau, will officially announce next week his intention to seek the Liberal Party leadership.
There's even a Facebook page dedicated to getting Mr. Carney to seek political office on behalf of the Liberals. Earlier Thursday the page had almost 650 "likes."
When asked about the veracity of the CBC report, a Bank of Canada spokesman referred reporters to a transcript of an interview Mr. Carney granted to Canada's Global Television Network last April. In that interview, in which he was asked about a future in politics, Mr. Carney said he was "not" contemplating a move into politics and wanted to "close" off any such talk.

Ó Cuív weaves baffling web about 'spider and the fly'
DÁIL SKETCH:Euro crisis brings out the best in mixed metaphors and nursery rhymes
WHEN NURSERY rhymes are mentioned in the Dáil it's time to worry.
And the perplexed look on his party colleagues' faces reflected that of most in the chamber as Fianna Fáil deputy leader Éamon Ó Cuív mentioned "the spider and the fly".
In fairness it may have been an apt metaphor given the topic – the euro crisis.
Ó Cuív, a Eurosceptic former minister, said every time tax harmonisation was mentioned he was reminded "of the old nursery rhyme".
"We know what happened to the fly when he got into the web," he said.
As far as Ireland was concerned, EU acquiescence to tax harmonisation "is buying the proposition that was put to the fly in the famous nursery rhyme".
Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore stayed away from rhymes but was emphatic that "as far as this Government is concerned, there is, and will be, no dictation of policy by either one member state or a small number of them". Decisions had to be arrived at on a collective basis.
But his declaration had a worrying similarity to the now infamous "Frankfurt's way or Labour's way".
However, the Tánaiste was the first Minister to confirm the possibility of a referendum to deal with the euro crisis.
The Government's view was that existing treaties contained the measures to deal with the crisis. But if Ireland found itself obliged to have another referendum "then so be it".
If that's what's necessary to save the currency….restore the economy….borrow on the financial markets….ensure no future government can turn Ireland into "such a sorry state"….well then "let's not be afraid to put that choice to the Irish people".
In the meantime the Government would bring in legislation early next year to set up rules for "responsible budgeting".
But getting back to rhymes – as Dáil business continued another nursery rhyme was highlighted as a metaphor for people within the EU.
Mattie McGrath, mixing metaphors and nursery rhymes, wanted everyone to wear their "green jerseys".
"We are all on the national team," he asserted, and "our electors expect us to stand up to Merkel, Sarkozy and Van Rompuy, who will end up like Humpty Dumpty because there will be no wall and no Europe".
He didn't want to be mentioning children's nursery rhymes, he told everyone.
"I should not bring in a children's rhyme but that is what it looks like to have feeble attempts over the last 12 months having these highly-publicised meetings and coming up with nothing."
Nothing is not an option this time around, however.
And the influence of the EU in elections still rankles.
Fianna Fáil's Timmy Dooley highlighted Enda Kenny's photocall with Frau Merkel before the election and criticised the Government for "not fully engaging" with the EU.
"This is not about photo opportunities or being seen going in and out of meetings and looking good on the red carpet," he asserted. "This is not the Oscars."
Political Oscars, however, may well be a better metaphor than nursery rhymes for the drama playing out this weekend at the European Council summit in Brussels.

My Partner Should Be a Male version of me: Priyanka
By IANS - MUMBAI
Published: 30th November 2013 01:06 PM
Last Updated: 30th November 2013 04:47 PM
Priyanka Chopra has a long list of benchmarks that she has set for her prospective life partner but she says she wants that her man should be a male version of herself.
"I have a very long list and very high standards. He has to be a gentleman, he has to be intelligent, someone I respect and funny, not stupid funny but witty funny, charming. Basically, a male version of me," the 31-year-old said here Friday at a GUESS store where she was unveiled as the new GUESS girl.
Priyanka added that it does not matter whether he is an actor or not.
"He needs to be an achiever, it doesn't matter if he is an actor or not an actor. I would never respect a guy who is not an achiever," she said.
Priyanka has recently been unveiled as the new face of global fashion brand GUESS.
She will soon be seen in Yash Raj Films' "Gunday."

My lips are one of those areas of my face that I will admit gets neglected. I wear a protective lip balm to keep them hydrated, but when it comes to pampering them I am neglectful.
Lately I have been making it a beauty priority to give my lips their very own spa time. I exfoliate them, apply a lip mask and hydrate them the same way I do with the rest of my face. I've realized that it is actually extremely easy to whip up lip care treatments with a lot of the items in my refrigerator for soft, plump, hydrated lips. Read more

The only time Pete Lee offended his wife with his comedy routine was when he called her "fat" on live radio.
Lee, who was a finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and regularly appears on shows on Comedy Central, often rips on his wife Jamie (Millward) Lee, an Altoona native.
Jamie has thick skin, but the joke referring to her 15-pound weight gain, touched a sore spot.
Article Photos
Comic Pete Lee will be coming to Burgi's Roundhouse Bar and Grill at 8 p.m. Dec. 23.
"I don't want people to think he's a [jerk] when you're writing this, but I was just a little sensitive about it," Jamie said. "I hit the roof and I called into the radio station and very politely ripped him a new one."
Though Jamie was angry about the "fat" joke, she usually loves her husband's comedy routines and often tours with him around the country. She is especially looking forward to Lee's upcoming gig in Altoona, her hometown. The Lees, who live in New York City, will be visiting Jamie's family in Altoona for Christmas, and Lee will perform at Burgi's Roundhouse Bar and Grill at 8 p.m. on Dec. 23. Following Lee's performance will be music by Slacker Theory.
Lee, who grew up in Janesville, Wis., loves Altoona and can't wait to perform in a small town atmosphere.
Fact Box
If you go
Who: Comedian Pete Lee
When: 8 p.m. Dec. 23
Where: Burgi's Roundhouse Bar and Grill, 1830 E. Pleasant Valley Blvd., Altoona
Tickets: $10; Advance tickets available at Burgi's and Thompson's Pharmacy on Chestnut Avenue in Altoona. Tickets will also be available at the door.
"I do think that Altoona is a neat town. You could be sitting in a dumpster and have the right people there and it's fun. People in Altoona are just awesome, but maybe my view of Altoona may be different from other people," Lee said. "New York is hustling and bustling. In Altoona it slows down a little bit. It's more like the town I grew up in."
While New Yorkers have the world at their fingertips, they are perpetually angry, Lee said.
"People in Altoona could have nothing to do, but they'll find fun; I mean beer," he joked.
Because Lee was coming to Altoona for Christmas, he didn't think twice about accepting the offer to perform at Burgi's.
"We are fortunate Pete agreed to do the show," Bob Kasun, spokesman for Burgi's, said. "Pete's comedy act is very fun and clever. He likes to poke fun at himself [for] coming from Wisconsin and making a living in New York City."
Lee always had a sense of humor, but he said his high school friends were much funnier. In college, Lee used a lot of his high school buddies' one liners around his new college friends, and everyone thought he was hilarious.
"I picked up a good sense of comic timing, I guess," Lee said.
It was during college when Lee decided he wanted to be a comedian. While he was earning a degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota, he was thinking about comedy and acting.
After college, Lee landed a job at an advertising agency and eventually was running a division of the company by the time he was 23. On the weekends, Lee worked on his comedy, landing local gigs and occasionally touring.
When Lee graduated college, he promised his dad he would work for three years at his "real" job.
"It was three years on the button when I stopped working there," Lee said." "I really wanted to do comedy and I wanted to act and I wanted to film things."
By the time he quit his job, he had become known in the comedy industry.
"I started doing comedy full time. I was already very good. It sounds cocky to say that, but if you're a plumber, you say you're good, so I admit I'm a good comedian," Lee said.
Comedy Central contacted Lee to appear on "Premium Blend," which was filmed in New York City, where he met Jamie. She is an event planner in New York City.
He later filmed "Comedy Central Presents," and competed on NBC's "Last Comic Standing."
"There's so much in comedy that's just dumb luck, and I've had a lot," Lee said.
Lee's style of comedy is pretty clean, though he's not afraid to tell a couple dirty jokes or throw in a curse. He usually makes fun of himself and he might gently make fun of people in the audience. Lee said he follows George Carlin's rule: "The Rule of Crapping: If you crap on yourself first, you can crap on other people and other things and people give you leeway to do that as long as you make fun of yourself first."
Though Lee occasionally gets heckled like every other comic, he doesn't usually bomb. As a new comic, he bombed about one in every 10 shows. Now, it's one in every 200 crowds, he says. In a weird way, Lee kind of enjoys the crowds who don't laugh as easily.
"If you do get in a situation where everybody hates you and nobody is laughing, I almost feel like that's special," Lee said. "All of those really boring people came together on the same night. That's special."
Lee enjoys the challenge of standup, trying new jokes and never knowing what you're going to get in terms of crowd reaction.
He's ready to take on the Altoona crowd, even though Jamie's grandmother might be in the audience that night.
"There's talk that her grandmother might come out. Then, I will be the biggest church boy on stage," Lee, said, laughing. "Her grandmother is one of the funniest people. At Thanksgiving we all sit around the table and make fun of each other. It's the closest thing to comics sitting around the table that you can get."
Lee said he's excited to perform in Altoona in front of Jamie's family and friends, and he plans to hang out and party after his standup routine.
"That's going to be the fun part - getting to hang out with everybody afterward," Lee said.

4 Real Products That Prove We Can Ruin Anything
Sometimes, the wonderful steak that is boning needs a little something to go with it. A hint of sauce, if you know what I mean. Maybe some nice side dishes, if you catch my- no, not fries. Not LITERAL FRIES. Jesus. Put that deep fryer away.
"But ... for fucking ..."
I'm speaking, of course, of sex toys. Everyone and their mom -- especially your mom -- knows that there are all sorts of gadgets available for the experimental mind, and also some slightly lower regions. We all like different things, and the wonderful laws of supply and demand make sure that all those things are available on the shelves somewhere. I get that, and I'm not going to step on people's metaphorical (or actual) dicks by claiming that the dildo gas mask doesn't have its fans out there.
However, toys are toys. The Oral Sex Light is something else altogether.
Even the package is laughing at you.
From French ticklers to fuck chairs, most sex toys at least have the potential to be romantic. It's perfectly conceivable that somewhere there's a couple that can have a romantic candlelight dinner and then naturally, effortlessly proceed to whip out the plastic chinstrap dong. The Oral Sex Light is a different beast. The very concept makes romance and erotica equally impossible, because it's a fucking flashlight that's shaped like a hands-free earpiece. How do you introduce it into the proceedings? How does your significant other keep their mood (or, for that matter, a straight face) when you then proceed to flop about their nether regions with your excavation light's beam zapping all across their thighs, walls, and face, giving away your every tiny motion and blinding them every time you inconspicuously glance up to check if they're starting to look bored? You might as well be wearing a miner's helmet, except that's less embarrassing because no one looks like a misguided maniac when they actually purchase a miner's helmet.
Luckily, it appears that humanity is slowly realizing this particular error of our sexin' ways. The Oral Sex Light is indefinitely out of stock on Amazon, and an afternoon of investigative journalism failed to locate any from nearby sex shops. Still, this relief was somewhat tainted, because investigative journalism was reminded that zombie Fleshlights are a thing that very much exists (link NSFW) and was forced to spend the rest of the night weeping quietly into a whiskey bottle.
(Also laughing because I said "taint" in the previous sentence.)
#1. The Bacon Product That Ruins Bacon
Ever since the Internet crowned bacon the official Food of the Gods, the delicacy has been abused in a great many ways. From T-shirts to candy to cologne to lubricant, online shops are teeming with strange bacon-themed products that bear as much resemblance to the actual food item as crude oil does to dinosaurs. However, none of the bacon candles and air fresheners out there actually hurt the reputation of the original, except maybe by diminishing it via overexposure and sheer stupidity. They're just harmless fun for people who are easily entertained and don't mind constantly smelling like rancid pig fat.
And then there is Yoder's canned bacon.
Yoder's is advertised as a delicious snack that is fully comparable to freshly cooked bacon, despite the fact that it has a shelf life of 10 goddamn years. So when you innocently crack open the can to obtain your hourly bacon fix, you're totally unprepared to find this:
They say if you hold it to your ear, you can hear the pig from Babe crying.
If you somehow find the courage to unravel that log of stale-smelling Lovecraftian horror and peel off the congealed blobs of white fat, you may temporarily let out a sigh of relief. The actual product features far fewer tentacles than you'd assume and in fact manages to look almost like ordinary bacon ...
... and by "ordinary bacon," I mean "skin-like strips of uncertain origin that look like leftovers from Leatherface's family dinner." Still, even this means nothing. Let's face it -- as delicious as it is, bacon is not exactly a looker at the best of times. It's all about the taste, which, incidentally, is a sense you immediately regret having once you bite into a rasher of Yoder's. This "bacon" is smelly, stringy, mealy, and without any semblance of meaty texture whatsoever. Even a quick taste is likely to leave your hands and mouth coated in a thin sheen of slimy grease that you just know will never completely go away. The only things that make it taste slightly like real bacon are the many, many artificial chemicals (including "smoke flavor") that feature heavily on the list of ingredients.
As a nice "fuck your cardiovascular system" touch, this is apparently the smallest amount the company sells.
See, that's the reason Yoder's is so terrifying. It's not bad because it tries to be funny. It's not loathsome because it rides the coattails of greatness with some random product the company pooped together in five minutes and slapped a bacon pattern on. It's bad because it actively shoves perfectly good bacon in tiny cans, using imprisonment and chemicals to break it and turn it into a twisted imitation of its former glory.
That's not a product, that's bacon torture.

Developers Criticize Licensing Issues for Sun's JDK 7
Milestone 5 for the coming Java Development Kit 7 includes just minor changes. Despite these little updates, JDK 7 has caused quite a stir.
The reason for the turbulence surrounding these developments lies on the fact that Sun has not elected an Open Source license. Classpath developer Mark Wielaard calls this move "antisocial", referring to the large share of the software that is part of OpenJDK. Wielaard calls out to Sun to remove this legal, proprietary restriction as it is unfair to all those who contributed code to the free version. He sees no reason for this behavior and appeals to Sun in his blog.
The Milestone can be downloaded here. The announcement regarding the Development Kit from Sun developer Mark Reinhold gives details on the updates. The final releases of JDK are expected early 2010.

| The Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) was merged for the 2.6.23 kernel. One CFS

| He added, "we are now a bit faster than the O(1) scheduler was under

Scheduler Fixes

| Ingo Molnar sent a merge request to Linus Torvalds for the latest CFS fixes.
| CFS, the Completely Fair Scheduler, was merged into the mainline Linux kernel

| And also credit where credit's due, Con Kolivas was the first one to
| prove via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that it
| results in better desktop scheduling.
Linux: Linus On CFS vs SD

July's full moon is the first of three consecutive super moons. The scientific name is "perigee moon," meaning the orbit of the moon will be closer to earth, causing it to be larger and brighter.
Most people can not discern the difference between a normal full moon and a super moon with their naked eye since the moon may only be a small percentage larger and up to 30 percent brighter.
The full moon this July, which is Saturday, is known as the full buck moon. July is normally the month when male deer start to get their antlers. July is also known as the full thunder moon since thunderstorms are common this time of the year. In other parts of the county, it may even be called the full hay moon with the hay harvest.

After some time to ruminate over Sunday night's game between Seton Hall and St. John's, here are some thoughts.
First off, you didn't have to be courtside to realize that these two teams do not like each other. Obviously, due to the proximity of these two schools there is bound to be some bad blood. The coaches recruit the same kids, the fans want bragging rights and so do the players.
As Eugene Harvey pointed out after the game, many of the guys on the floor last night are from the area. Eight players who saw action last night are from New York City, and two more are from New Jersey. They know each other and play against each other in the summer -- and nothing is more satisfying than being able to boast about a win during the season.
Also, Sunday's game was played at Carnesecca Arena, which has been a bone of contention in this series. Last season, Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez was displeased that his team had to play in Queens rather than at Madison Square Garden. Earlier this season, Gonzalez intimated he wanted to play a game at the Garden before the Big East tournament. No such luck.
Instead, the game was played in front of a sellout crowd of 5,602 -- the first at the on-campus arena since it was renovated before the season. The place certainly can feel uninviting and claustrophobic for the opponent -- the stands funnel down to the court at the very bottom and fans are shoe-horned into every corner. The court is skirted by chairs, tables, fans and cheerleaders. Just ask Paul Gause. He went tumbling out of bounds in the second half and wiped out two members of the St. John's dance team in the process.
To Gonzalez's credit, he was complementary of the environment after the game and even panned, "I'm getting pretty popular over here." Though the St. John's fans did not forget that he didn't want to play there last season. One student held up an over-sized picture of the coach with a pacifier in his mouth. The caption below the picture read: "I don't want to play in Carnesecca, Mommy."
Norm Roberts did not forget his comments from a year ago, either.
The St. John's coach said after the game that this rivalry is not about the coaches, but rather the kids. Then, with an edge in voice, he firmly reinforced what an honor it is to play at Carnesecca, as if talking through the media in the room right to Gonzalez.
All in all, the crowd didn't seem to affect Seton Hall much. In fact, early in the game, the Pirates seemed to feed off the crowd, especially the vociferous student sections behind each basket. It probably pumped up St. John's a bit, though. They had been averaging just 3,000 a game in the building until Sunday night, as the New York Post pointed out.
For the second time this season there was a slight dustup between these two teams. Last night, Jeremy Hazell had a few words with St. John's guard Malik Boothe and both were assessed technical fouls quickly. Earlier this month at the Prudential Center, Hazell and forward D.J. Kennedy got into it.
The incident seemed to work against Seton Hall. Hazell went to the bench for the rest of the half after picking up the technical, and St. John's headed into the locker room with the lead on the heels of an 11-0 run. And Hazell was not as effective after that technical. He struggled to find quality touches and open shots in the second half with Paris Horne and Kennedy draped all over him.
It was Hazell's second technical in as many games and third of the season, but the guard shrugged it off after the game, calling it "nothing." Gonzalez said he had warned his team to avoid such situations before the game, but the coach came close to receiving a technical himself in the first half.
The referees were quick with the whistle, especially inside throughout the game -- and that worked to the benefit of St. John's. It had 31 free throw attempts to just 16 for Seton Hall. But in the last few minutes, the officials seemed to put the whistles back in their pockets, most notably on the Pirates' second-to-last possession of the game.
Boothe wrapped his hands around Harvey's waist in a blatant attempt to foul -- and he admitted to that after the game -- but there was no call and Harvey's shot caromed off the backboard. As soon as Harvey felt contact he had heaved the ball towards the rim in an attempt to tie the game at the foul line. He did not score in the game.
It culminated a tough night, and week, for Harvey. He was sent to the hospital late Wednesday night after breaking out in with an allergic reaction to shrimp, and said he was still on medication. Hazell also had a tough week. He was a pallbearer Friday in Harlem after one of his childhood friends was shot and killed, Gonzalez said.
