A team of scientists at the University of Southern California say they have discovered a population of neurons in the brains of juvenile songbirds that are necessary for allowing the birds to recognize the vocal sounds they are learning to imitate. These neurons encode a memory of learned vocal sounds and form a crucial part of the neural system that allows songbirds to hear, imitate, and learn its species' songs, in a manner similar to human infants acquiring speech sounds.
"We report the discovery of two distinct populations of neurons in a cortico-basal ganglia circuit of juvenile songbirds (zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata) during vocal learning: (1) one in which neurons are selectively tuned to memorized sounds and (2) another in which neurons are selectively tuned to self-produced vocalizations," write the scientists in the current issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. "These results suggest that neurons tuned to learned vocal sounds encode a memory of those target sounds, whereas neurons tuned to self-produced vocalizations encode a representation of current vocal sounds."
The scientists believe their discovery will help uncover the exact neural mechanisms that allow songbirds to hear their own self-produced songs, compare them to the memory of the song that they are trying to imitate, and then adjust their vocalizations accordingly.
This brain-behavior system is thought to be a model for how human infants learn to speak, so understanding it could prove crucial to future understanding and treatment of language disorders in children. In both songbirds and humans, feedback of self-produced vocalizations is compared to memorized vocal sounds and progressively refined to achieve a correct imitation.
"Every neurodevelopmental disorder you can think of, including Tourette syndrome, autism, and Rett syndrome, entails in some way a breakdown in auditory processing and vocal communication. Understanding mechanisms of vocal learning at a cellular level is a huge step toward being able to someday address the biological issues behind the behavioral issues," said Sarah Bottjer, Ph.D., senior author of the article entitled "Neural Representation of a Target Auditory Memory in a Cortico-Basal Ganglia Pathway".
The next step for study will be to learn how the brain rewards correct matches between feedback of current vocal behavior and the goal memory that depicts memorized vocal sounds as songbirds make progress in bringing their current behavior closer to their goal behavior, said Dr. Bottjer.

Clearly, Everything Gets a Logo These Days, Even Stuff About to Get Blowed Up
Impossible to retrace the myriad steps that led me here this morning: to The Official Texas Stadium Implosion Web site, where you'll find a lengthy video shot inside the joint during Tuesday's media show-and-tell. I must say: This is a logo I can get behind: The artwork's playfully retro (like feathered hair or an iron-on), and the title itself ("The Last Tailgate Party") sounds like a Sundance documentary. I'd like a bumper sticker -- no, a poster. You'd think the city of Irving would be selling posters. Seriously. I've left a message for my old pal Maura Gast, head of the Irving CVB. Got some questions.
And, hey, from the looks of the Web site, you'll be able to watch the implosion on April 11 without forking over the $25. That last bit of info, incidentally, merited a mention on Deadspin this morning: "Irving To Milk One Last Cash Grab Out Of Texas Stadium." To which one commenter offers this sports-page tie-together: "Not only will a major piece of Cowboys history disappear that day, but also Ron Washington's dream of someday finding Michael Irvin's secret stash."

The TV galaxy has been invaded by "Star Wars." The ongoing media blitz for the much-awaited prequel film has kicked up several notches in the last few weeks, with a blast of exclusive film clips, interviews and program stunts tied to Wednesday's box-office premiere of "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace."
Here's a roundup of the small-screen's "Star" turn:
Natalie Portman will be interviewed Monday. Director George Lucas and Liam Neeson already have been interviewed.
"Good Morning America" entertainment editor Joel Siegel interviews Neeson today. Also, "GMA" keeps watch over three young fans who have been sleeping outside a Los Angeles movie theater since the middle of March to be first on the ticket buyers' line. (The kids also are raising money for charity.)
Coverage of the buildup to the film's upcoming release in Los Angeles and New York started on Monday.
Various taped interviews with Neeson, Samuel L. Jackson and Jake Lloyd are scheduled, but not yet pinned to a specific air date.
Portman is scheduled to speak with David Letterman on Friday.
Jay Leno's scheduled guests for this week: Jackson, tonight; Neeson, Thursday. It's possible that Lucas also will make an appearance.
Along with exclusive clips from the film, Leno will feature comedy bits spoofing "Star Wars" all that week.
Taped interview with Lucas today. He'll talk about the myths and legends surrounding the original "Star Wars" 1977 release and give a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of "Phantom Menace."
On Thursday, co-star Ewan McGregor gives a rare TV interview to Pat O'Brien.
On Monday, "Access Hollywood" launched its coverage of "Star Wars" premiere screenings nationwide. On Wednesday, O'Brien anchors the show from the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Live chats with Neeson today; Lloyd on Wednesday, and Portman on Friday.
Were he dipping his quill today, would Shakespeare be into "Politically Incorrect"?
"Are you kidding? He has so many movies to plug, he'd love to have a place to go and plug them," said host Bill Maher as "PI" prepares to broadcast from London all next week.
In its first overseas jaunt, ABC's late-night verbal food fight will feature such guests as Jeremy Irons, Roger Daltrey, Emma Samms, Sir David Frost, Edwina Currie and Richard Belzer. (Richard Belzer? As luck would have it, the "Homicide" star will be at his Paris chateau, just a hop away.)
After "sweeps" trips to Vegas in November and Washington in February, Maher never expected an international junket for the May ratings period. Too bloody expensive, that.
"I was surprised," said Maher, 43. "Either we're doing very well, or ABC likes us. Either way, who's going to turn down a trip to London? It's sort of like winning the lottery. ... And they speak English, we think."
In partnership with the United Kingdom's Channel 4, "PI" will tape five shows at the London Studios, to air during "PI"'s regular 12:05 a.m. time slot in the Colonies. They will also run that week throughout Britain on Channel 4.
While most of Maher's guests will be Brits, the studio audience will be half American, half English. The combo "will stir up the battle. People will have rooting interests when we get to issues that divide us culturally."
Such as? The monarchy. To Maher, it's a good thing.
"It takes the gossip away from the head of state. Here, all the gossip has to be thrown down on Bill Clinton. In Britain, nobody cares about (Prime Minister) Tony Blair. That's what they have the prince and the queen for."
America should adopt a similar ceremonial system "so a person like the President can do his job and have Monica Lewinsky on the side. The Kennedys would be good at it, but they're already royalty. And they're not very big in politics anymore."
This will be Maher's fourth trip across the pond. (His first, as a Cornell student in the late '70s, was a back-packing affair.) He digs England.
"I love being the guy with the accent, the cute foreigner walking into a pub. In this country, I've always hated the way women fall for men with foreign accents." (You're not alone there, mate.)
Speaking of foreign, Brits and Yanks have different senses of humor, Maher says.
"With the British, it's the extremes. They like very high and very low. They appreciate a level of dry wit that would probably go over most Americans' heads, but they also have an incredible taste for spitting and kicking and "Benny Hill." It probably derives from Shakespeare.
The Bard rules, eh, William?
NBC's May 8 episode of "Saturday Night Live," featuring host Cuba Gooding Jr., musical dynamo Ricky Martin, and a non-surprise surprise appearance by Monica Lewinsky, delivered an "SNL" record 8.5 overnight rating and 22 percent audience share - making it the highest-rated program of the night, including prime-time shows.
NBC estimates that 10 million people caught the 11:30 p.m.-to-1 a.m. broadcast.

Data is an unusual currency; it is not restricted by the same transactional limitations as money or people. In fact, the more that you leverage your data across multiple business use cases, the more valuable it becomes to the organization. And the same can be said about the organization's analytics. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Bill Schmarzo, CTO for the Big Data Practice at EMC, will introduce a methodology for capturing, enriching and sharing data (and analytics) across the organizati...

"For the third installment in RVNG Intl.'s archival series, the tape is wound back to 1970s Seattle, home place of ambient music savant K. Leimer. A Period of Review (Original Recordings: 1975 - 1983) unearths unreleased portions of Leimer's vast archives and highlights the work of a self-taught visionary whose use of generative compositions ferried his music to infinite resonance. The tape-manipulated serenity Leimer experienced with Cluster's II was a key revelation. Leimer realized the potential to compose with minimal training and scoured pawnshops for cheap instruments and recording equipment to transpose his wayward musical instincts. Leimer's sound palette and composition soon refined and heightened with the accessibility of dynamic equipment such as the Micromoog and TEAC multi-track tape machines. Synchronously, the Terry Riley indebted loop-based compositions of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's No Pussyfooting inspired Leimer to form recursive musical passages of bare timbre and melody that would become hallmarks of his sound. Leimer sought to support a growing community of experimental composers by launching the Palace of Lights record label in 1979 with his wife Dorothy Cross. Palace of Lights took philosophical and logistical cues from the flourishing DIY cassette culture, but demonstrated a different elegance in its music and design. A testament to his independent and uncompromising spirit, all of Leimer's recorded work would be released in varying formats and editions on Palace of Lights from '79 to '83. A Period of Review focuses on unheard material outside of the work Leimer offered on Palace of Lights, though even that music could be considered relatively "unheard." The thirty tracks of A Period of Review may have remained a mystery on moldy reels until now, but Leimer's entire catalog of generative music remains pristine in its absolute power."

"For reasons long forgotten," the narrator intones: "two mighty warrior tribes went to war—and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Their world crumbled. Men began to feed on men. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive." Against the backdrop of that post-nuclear-war scenario, young Australian director George Miller has fashioned a stylish adventure film about a sort of samurai warrior of the next Dark Ages. Mel Gibson, the New York-born actor who has become a star in his adopted home Down Under (he was the dark-haired standout in Gallipoli), is the loner who saves a man's life in exchange for a tank of gas, then finds himself in an embattled outpost of civilization that has one last chance to thwart an attack by a gang of subhuman invaders. Miller has managed to summon up the hellish, surreal quality of films like John Carpenter's Escape From New York. The sets, costumes, makeup, special effects and stunts are all first-rate, as is Gibson's performance. This is not family entertainment, however. Despite its occasional outbreaks of humanity, it is generally a violent picture. (R)

Shopko (formerly ShopKo until June 2007) is a chain of retail stores based in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin. Shopko was founded in 1962 by James Ruben, and its first store opened in Green Bay. From 1991 to 2005, the company was publicly held, with stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SKO. In December 2005, the company was acquired by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners and reverted to private ownership. In 1999, Shopko purchased Pamida, a regional discount chain that operated mainly in smaller communities of 3,000 to 8,000 people. Shopko operated Pamida as a separate division until 2007, when Pamida was separated from Shopko and reestablished as a separate company. In 2012, Shopko and Pamida merged into one company. Shortly after, most Pamida stores were rebranded as Shopko Hometown.
Chicago pharmacist James Ruben moved to Green Bay where he opened the first Shopco store at 216 S. Military Avenue in 1962. He envisioned a larger retail store with health care services combined with the retail operations. As a result, Shopco became one of the first chains to offer such services as a pharmacy and eye care center within the store.[citation needed] The name was later[when?] changed to "ShopKo" by dropping the "c" and replacing it with an uppercase "K". In 2007, the logo was updated and the spelling was changed to "Shopko" with a lower case "k". Shopko Express stores retained the older style logo until fall 2008, when a new store in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin was opened.

This very alien looking surface isn't Mars, it is the Breakaways in South Australia. An extremely flat, rock strewn stretch of land which is very similar in composition and color to the photos returned by Martian landers. Note the moon in the upper left, which I thought made for an interesting contrast: moon and the moonscape.
I've arrived in Alexandria.
My first reaction is that I like it a lot more than Cairo. It isn't as busy, dirty or crowded. Also, I have yet to have anyone "welcome" me to Egypt and try to sell me crap. I'm staying about 2 blocks from the Mediterranean Sea, in a hotel which would be a dump in any other circumstances. However, I'm so used to such accommodations at this point, I don't even bat an eye at it. This is also the first time I've laid my eyes on the Mediterranean Sea.
For an historical city, Alexandria doesn't have much in the way of buildings left. One of the books I read earlier on my trip was the story of the body of Alexander the Great. After he died in Persia, his body was stolen by Ptolemy and taken to Egypt where it was eventually entombed in Alexandria. There are mentions of it over the years and at least as late as when Julius Caesar came here chasing Pompey, the tomb still remained as Caesar paid a visit. At some point, the glass coffin which contained his body was lost.
I'm near the harbor which was the location of the Lighthouse of Alexandria; one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. It was destroyed by earthquake in the 14th Century. The stones of the lighthouse were used in the construction of a fort, now located on the site. There are also stone located in the water just off the harbor.
While an Egyptian city, it really has nothing to do with the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs. For most of its life it was either a Greek or Roman city. This is the city which Alexander the Great founded, where Julius Caesar lived for several years, where Marc Anthony and Cleopatra took their own lives, where Pompey was killed, where Octavian conquered it in the name of Rome, and where the great library stood and eventually burned. It also was/is the center of Coptic Christianity.
The city eventually sort of died off after the Arab conquest of Egypt, but was resurrected in the 19th Century.
It is colder here than in Cairo, but it should be an interesting few days. In addition to the few Roman ruins in the city, I will also be making a short trip to a nearby World Heritage site (Abu Mena) and I might go SCUBA diving if the weather permits.
Questions & Answers #3
@cyberdyne Have you considered changing your twitter icon as you travel to represent where you are ?
I made a conscious decision to keep my avatar the same. In fact, I use the exact same photo on every network I belong. People recognize images before they read names. The Easter Island photo I think is representative of what I'm doing and was taken early in my trip. For better or worse, I'm now the Easter Island guy. If I change it, people may not recognize me. I know that happens when people I follow change their avatar. I do however, change my location in Twitter every time I change cities. It is a great way to find other people on Twitter near where you are. I suppose I might change it in the future, but I don't recommend constantly changing your image.
@urpisdream Any advice for people trying to figure out how they can start up their own 'everywhere trip'?
Don't put too much effort into planning. Reading and researching about where you want to go is fun, but trying not to set an extremely rigid schedule. The biggest trick is unwinding all the stuff in your life which will prevent you from going. Cars, jobs, mortgages, etc are all reasons people have for not traveling. The actual act of traveling is pretty simple. Conquering all the reasons for not going is the real accomplishment.
@kalpeshk What was your main motivation for the trip and the most significant realization from your travel so far?
The motivation was that I enjoyed traveling and I didn't want to wait until I was facing death to go do the things I wanted to do. At this point in my life I could do it and enjoy it.
As for the realizations…well, there are a lot and it would be hard to summarize it in a few sentences. Without any explanation behind it here are a few: culture matters, everyone is proud of where they are from, most people are good, and nothing is as simple as it appears.
For a more detailed explanation, you will have to buy the book :)
@rjhintz Where, if anywhere, do you take prophylactic medication for malaria? Have you had to pay bribes at borders?
I have been carrying around a bottle of Doxycycline since I started my trip. I took it in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands but haven't bothered taking it otherwise. It think it would be more important to use in Africa than the places I've been.
As for bribes, I haven't had to pay any border bribes. If you look at the list of places I've been, a lot of the countries are Islands. Oddly enough, I've only had to make a few land crossings: Brunei to Malaysia, Singapore to Malaysia, Cambodia to Vietnam, Laos to Thailand, UAE to Oman. I also entered South Korea and Macau by boat. I think border bribes would be a bigger deal in Sub-Saharan Africa or Central Asia, which I haven't visited yet.
@d_rjoseph alright, what kind of camera, memory card(s), and batteries do you use?
I have a Nikon D200 with 2 rechargeable batteries. I have a 4gb compact flash card as my main memory card and a cheap 2gb compact flash card in my camera bag in case I need more space. I always keep a fully charged battery in my camera bag.
@susandeane Where on your travels have you encountered the friendliest folk? Which of all those countries is the friendliest?
Some people are more outgoing than other. Many Arabs I've met will give you the shirt off their back in the name of hospitality, but might not go out of their way to say "hello" on the street.
Off the top of my head I'd say Samoans or Fijians. They are really, really nice people who will go out of their way to say "Bula!" or "Talofa!". Just don't mess with them on the rugby field!
@JustNomadic How do you research your next location – guides, web, people, tourist boards etc?
I never use guidebooks. They are expensive, heavy and usually out of date. I might page through one if a free one is at a hostel, otherwise I primarily use the internet and talking to locals. You can also find a ton of free information in most hotels. There is an entire industry anywhere you go built upon providing you services to go see things. The larger the city and more popular the attraction you are visiting, the less you need a guidebook.
Daily Travel Photo – Majuro, Marshall Islands
This photo will require some explaining…
The one part of the Marshall Islands which most people have heard of is the Bikini Atoll. Not only is it the namesake of the bikini swimsuit, it was also a location where the United States did above ground nuclear tests after World War II. It was the location of the first explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
Prior to blowing up nuclear weapons on the island, of course, they had to remove the residents of Bikini. After several moves, they ended up in what is now the capital of the Marshal Islands, Majuro. Under 200 people were moved off the atoll by the time testing began in 1948.
Those 200 people have become over 5,000 via marriage and children in the 63 years since, the majority of which have never seen Bikini. That is why the Bikini Town Hall is several hundred miles away from Bikini Atoll.
The American government has cleared the top 16 inches of soil off the island, created housing and other structures, yet only a small group have returned. The 5,000 descendants of the people moved off of Bikini still get money, health care, and housing from the US government and constitute a powerful constituency in the Marshal Islands.
The levels of radiation on the island are now at a safe level. The only restriction is that you can't eat food grown on the island. The years of human absence from the island have created one of the best coral reefs in the world and Bikini is now an attraction for SCUBA divers.
First Thoughts on Egypt
I haven't really written anything since I've arrived in Egypt. Usually when I arrive in a new place it takes a while to adjust to things. That adjustment period can be as short as an hour or as long as a few days. Egypt has taken a lot longer than normal.
While it is ostensibly an Arab country like Gulf countries where I've spent the last month, it feels like a totally different culture. For starters, there is no oil money in Egypt. This alone makes it a much poorer country than the small states of the Gulf. Second, there are no guest workers. One could confuse most of the many of the Gulf nations as being ruled by Indian Rajahs if they didn't know any better, but Egypt is full of just Egyptians.
The first thing most visitors to Cairo will describe to you is the traffic. I've seen crazy traffic before, but Cairo might be the worst. The difference between Cairo and someplace like Saigon is that everyone in Cairo drives a car, not a motorbike. This makes things exceptionally crowded. Also, there doesn't appear to be much in the way of parking rules. I've not only seen a lot of double parking, but triple and quadruple parking as well. Anywhere there is not a car is a potential parking spot.
The cars here are much older than I've seen anywhere else. The average taxi seems to be a Fiat made in the 1970's and the taxi meter are all non-functioning and about 40-50 years old.
Since I arrived, I've been to the Egyptian Museum, the Cairo Citadel and Mohammed Ali Mosque (not the boxer), and the pyramids. I'll probably be writing more on the pyramids later on, but what I saw at the Egyptian Museum is pretty indicative what I've seen all over Cairo.
The Egyptian Museum is both the best and worst museum I've been to on my trip. It is the best in terms of the items and artifacts on display. This is the permanent home of the King Tut exhibit, and has every manner of item you'd expect for a museum on Egypt. However, it sort of seems like a warehouse. The building is falling apart and doesn't seem to have been painted or repaired in decades. The display of items is poorly done and there doesn't appear to be any money reinvested back into the museum. You can't help but wonder where it all goes.
There are police everywhere. Everyone seems to smoke. I haven't seen a building in Cairo built within the last 30 years.
It is a very different place from what I've experience so far on my trip. Very different.
I don't forsee uploading photos soon. The bandwidth where I'm staying is pretty poor. My current plan is to leave Cairo tomorrow for Alexandria, and I'll see how things go there.
Daily Travel Photo – Solomon Islands
This is the old "port" on the island of Rennell where the boats used to land to bring supplies to the island. It is really nothing more than a beach near an opening in the reef.
Getting to the beach is about a 300 foot climb down very steep steps. The new boat landing has a road which allows for trucks to carry supplies.
When I asked to go down to the old port they thought I was weird, but agreed to take me. No one had been down to the beach in years. Me and two guides equipped with nothing more than machetes (to open coconuts).
People have a fantasy about desolate, pristine beaches. Unfortunately, those two things are impossible to have together. The beach was really cluttered with driftwood, seaweed, and sea shells. Most beaches are cleaned up by people beachcombing. Remove all the people, and a beach will get dirty pretty quick.
Daily Travel Photo – Mui Ne, Vietnam
There is a waterfall in Mui Ne you have to walk through a stream to get to. Along the stream is a small hut which sells refreshments to tourists.
Daily Travel Photo – Chiang Mai, Thailand
I went to an elephant show in Chaing Mai where trained elephants did all sorts of tricks. The most impressive trick was when they let two elephants create paintings. I gathered from what was being sold at the gift shop they could only do the exact same painting over and over. I'm also sure there was some sort of trick to it as a trainer was on the other side of the elephant that the audience couldn't see, probably prompting the animal at the right times.
Nonetheless, it was pretty impressive.

Inspirational teenage cancer sufferer Stephen Sutton today posted this "thumbs up" picture to celebrate raising more than £3m for charity.
The 19-year-old posted the picture to his followers on Facebook after it emerged his astonishing fundraising efforts for the Teenage Cancer Trust had smashed through yet another landmark.
The Staffordshire teenager also updated his Facebook friends on his condition, describing how he is looking forward to a "period of future" that "seemed impossible" last week.
He said: "One week ago I posted a 'thumbs up farewell' photo that went viral. As mentioned, at that point a genuinely thought I was a goner, but one week on I'm still here!
"Overall my time here will still be cut significantly short by my illness (...but I've known that anyway for a while anyway). Coughing up that tumour has helped hugely, but headlines of 'on the mend' are shortsighted and perhaps misleading- I am still ravaged by tumours elsewhere that will and are currently harming me.
"But with my breathing fine and no other acute medical problems at the moment, we can optimistically look forward to a period of 'future' that at the beginning of the week seemed impossible. It still might not be long (fingers crossed it is though) but due to the circumstances, I feel very fortunate to be here, and every second alive feels very special!!"
He said his medical team are now discussing how to move forward during the "rest of the journey".
I'm eating, drinking, breathing fine and have even just moved around on my crutches independently— Stephen's Story (@_StephensStory) April 28, 2014
I am literally astounded at how well I'm feeling and doing. Just gotta keep on keeping on.— Stephen's Story (@_StephensStory) April 28, 2014
He then posted the cheery picture of himself and wrote: "In the meantime: to celebrate still being here after this crazy week, to celebrate this wonderful journey called life, and to celebrate being part of raising over £3,000,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust... Here's a huge thumbs up from me!!!! "
The teenager has enjoyed support from a host of celebrities who have taken to Twitter, posing for pictures with the hashtag thumbsupforstephen and holding signs to encourage people to donate.
The campaign was originally championed by comedian Jason Manford, who said he had previously met Mr Sutton at charity gigs and was bowled over by his positivity as he strove to make the best of his situation.
Stephen was diagnosed with what was initially bowel cancer when he was 15.
Good times like this really helps to forget all the bad— Stephen's Story (@_StephensStory) April 28, 2014
Very happy right now. And £3million raised for @TeenageCancer, thank you everyone!! http://t.co/MFrDZzsRJs— Stephen's Story (@_StephensStory) April 28, 2014
Despite surgery, the aggressive cancer spread to different parts of his body and, after further treatment and operations, doctors concluded it was incurable.
Mr Sutton set up his charity fund-raising website and blog on Facebook in January last year to keep people up to date with his progress.
Siobhan Dunn, chief executive of the Teenage Cancer Trust, praised the inspiring teenager and ambassador for the charity.
She said: "I've had the privilege of meeting him and his positivity is always remembered by all that meet him or hear him speak.
"Stephen is making the biggest possible difference to Teenage Cancer Trust and the young people who need our help."
Speaking previously, Mr Sutton said he disliked the term "dying from my cancer - I am living with my cancer, despite it being there".
His bucket-list of 46 things to do before he died included things like hugging an elephant, crowd-surfing in a rubber dinghy, playing the drums at a Wembley cup final, getting a tattoo and appearing on BBC drama Doctors.

On Saturday, September 17, Marxist protesters (NeoComs) planned to take over Wall Street. While they had wanted to have some 20,000 protesters come to New York, converge on and stay for months in order to 'tear down the machine,' their numbers were far fewer, and their goal of occupying Wall St. never materialized as police relegated them to Zuccotti Park a block away.
In talking to several on the first day of their protest, their inspiration seemed to be a Marxist blend of Communism and Anarchism, sprinkled with a tinge of comic-book (or Hollywood) flare from the character 'V' from 'V for Vendetta.' By Day Three, however, they made their demands more clear, calling for the seizure of workplaces and schools, as well as the 'de-privatization of everything.'
Over the last two weeks, their numbers have dwindled to just a few hundred and there have been well over a hundred arrests. The protesters have been ordered to remove their Guy Fawkes masks and, for the most part, have set up a campground in downtown Manhattan, with take out food called in for them from around the nation.
While they've had visits from such Left-wing luminaries as Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Roseanne Barr, and Dr. Cornell West, they have not had as much coverage from the mainstream media nor have they had the support of the real jackboots in the fight for a Marxist revolution—today's union bosses.
That is, they haven't had union support until now.
On Thursday morning, via GatewayPundit, the New York-based Transit Workers of America Local 100 reportedly voted to support the Wall St. protesters. Local 100 is the same union that represents many of New York's train and bus lines and the union that disrupted New Yorkers' holiday shopping season in 2005 by going out on strike for three days in late December.
According to the Village Voice:
We spoke to TWU Local 100's spokesman Jim Gannon, who told us that the executive board voted unanimously last night at their regular monthly business meeting to support Occupy Wall Street. TWU Local 100 has 38,000 members, the vast majority of whom work in New York City transit. (TWU has 200,000 members in 22 states.) Gannon said, "A motion was brought up to endorse the protests' goals; I don't know why it took us so long to do it. Right now we're going to be involved in a march and rally on the 5th of October. We'll gather at City Hall at 4:30 and march to Zuccotti Park."
In addition, a blog called Teamster Nation has been covering and supporting the Wall Street protesters since early on. [It is not believed, however, that Teamster Nation is the official blog for the Teamsters.]
By late Thursday afternoon, New York magazine was reporting that several unions, as well as the more professional of the Left-wing extremist groups have joined in #Solidarity with the protesters:
Next week, the site will welcome members of New York's organized labor coalitions including the United Federation of Teachers, 32BJ SEIU, 1199 SEIU, Workers United, and Transport Workers Union Local 100, which voted unanimously last night to support the occupation. Other groups standing in solidarity include the Working Families party, the Coalition for the Homeless, and MoveOn.org.
While it's not known whether the unions will be sending over protesters to actually occupy Wall Street or, rather, just to march with the protesters and sing L'internationale for a few hours.
- Note: Hopefully, if the unions do march with protesters, the unions can finally teach the protesters the proper ending to "The workers, united, will never be..." [hint: It is not 'defeated' and it rhymes with 'united.']
Regardless of the ultimate turn out, it does appear that the Masked Movement of Marxists is gathering some steam. Whether or not it becomes a Tahrir moment, as Al Gore would like to see, is debatable. However, as protesters are clearly upping the ante by enlisting the help of union bosses, it bears watching closely.
"I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as ABC, hold up truth to your eyes." Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776

There were bugs, dirty grounds, broken ice machine, dirty sheets left in front of stairway where we had to squeeze by to get to the parking lot. We needed a hotel badly in the area and this was the only place that had availability and now I see why.
The tv didn't work. And the staff member in the morning was very rude just because she didn't want to put milk out for the cereal. Also there was no syrup and she didn't notify anyone till people started complaining.
Staff was great rooms had been remodeled and were clean and neat and breakfast was great
For a hotel that just been remodeled the contractor sucked as far as a finished product holes in walls not patched, doors drag on floor this is part of list if i did work like this as a contractor i would never get paid or have work.
Nice and clean.
TV seemed cheap. Poor sound quality!
Quick check-in and check out. Easy location. Very clean exterior.
Room was dingy. Outlets near vanity didn't work, There was the dirty smelling comforter and the sheet and that's it. Most motels will have another blanket between. Mini-fridge wasn't cold, had to throw out the food we had brought.
Carpet needed cleaning and No Coffee in Morning by 8:30 am and biscuits hard as a rock.
It was very clean and had been updated - very nice!
Friendliness of the staff, and the overall cleanliness of the room and the lobby and breakfast areas. Excellent. Wonderful. The room was pretty nice, too - although when not asking for a handicap room we got one. Oh well.....
Yes. Definitely. The price for this room, although not out of line with similar rooms of this nature, was definitely higher in price. I found out only too late of this fact. Other rooms in this area happened to be over $20 less! Not good advertising!

From the multi-award-winning co-creators of Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes comes a new BBC One drama that is groundbreaking in every sense.
Bonekickers is a highly original six-part series about a dynamic team of archaeologists, led by Professor Gillian Magwilde (Julie Graham) and featuring Dr Ben Ergha (Adrian Lester), Professor Gregory Parton (Hugh Bonneville), Viv Davis (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and Professor Daniel Mastiff (Michael Maloney).
Set against the backdrop of Bath, a city steeped in 3,000 years of history, each week the team uncovers a compelling mystery from the past that tells viewers something profound and revelatory about the present. Archaeology has never been so dramatic.
Julie Graham (Dalziel & Pascoe, William And Mary) is Gillian, a feisty Celt who heads up a team of archaeologists, working out of Wessex University.
Adrian Lester (Hustle, Ballet Shoes) is Dr Ben Ergha, a forensic expert who brings an objective understanding to the team, Hugh Bonneville (Miss Austen Regrets, Tsunami, Filth) is the encyclopaedic but terminally louche Professor Gregory Parton and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Spooks, Trish Jones in Doctor Who) is the eager, young, post-grad intern, Viv Davis.
As a team their skills combine under a variety of imperatives to extract bodies, books, weapons and all manner of artefacts which lead them into an investigation of the past that will unlock dangers and mysteries in the present.
From the excavation of murdered 18th-century slaves to the possible discovery of the True Cross, each episode is a window on a period of history but, more importantly, a reflection on how we live now.
Running through the series is a greater puzzle that Gillian keeps to herself for fear of ridicule: the hunt for the greatest treasure in the history of Humankind, a hunt that drove her brilliant mother insane and a hunt that pits her wits against her academic nemesis – the arrogant, urbane TV historian, Professor Daniel Mastiff, played by Michael Maloney (The Forsyte Saga, The Jury, Truly Madly Deeply) – and that will culminate at the end of series one in a desperate race for glory which may destroy her in the process.
From Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah (Monastic Productions), the writers and creators of the hit series Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes, and Michele Buck and Damien Timmer of Mammoth Screen, Bonekickers is a thrilling adventure series packed with historical mystery and contemporary relevance.
Based in fact, the series has on board the expertise of Professor Mark Horton, Head of Archaeology at Bristol University, a specialist in the archaeology of historical societies around the world and Bonekickers consultant on the factual evidence and background to the relics featured in each episode.
Polly Hill, BBC Commissioning Editor for Independent Drama, says:
"This is an exciting, bold, new series for BBC One, from the wonderful Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharaoh.
"They have created a contemporary show, which brilliantly brings history to life – our archaeologists investigate huge mysteries that may start in the past, but which are very much still alive and dangerous today.
"As you would expect from Matthew and Ashley, this is a challenging unique format, which has attracted a wonderful cast."
Bonekickers is produced by Rhonda Smith (Fairy Tales, Marie Lloyd) and executive produced by Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah of Monastic Productions and Michele Buck and Damien Timmer of Mammoth Screen.
The drama is commissioned by Jane Tranter, Controller, BBC Fiction.
Never forget ... history is now!

Kamegai, Linares Workout in Sacramento Friday Morning
By Ryan Maquiñana
Unbeaten welterweight sensation Yoshihiro Kamegai (21-0, 18 KOs), who is making his American television debut on Saturday against Jorge Silva (18-2-1, 14 KOs) at the Memorial Auditorium in downtown Sacramento, Calif., will hold a public workout two blocks away at Urijah Faber's Ultimate Fitness (1705 I St.) on Friday morning at 11 a.m.

Here's a Monday score: Mother Nature 2, Major League Baseball 0.
The game between the Atlanta Braves and the Colorado Rockies in Denver Monday night was postponed by a snowstorm - the third time in eight days that the white stuff has frozen out the summer pastime at Coors Field.
In Minneapolis, the Minnesota Twins were proactive, preemptively postponing their game against the Miami Marlins seven hours before game time, while it was still 45 degrees and way before a single flake could fall at Target Field.
Why couldn't they use the Metrodome? It's still there, but with no dirt for base paths - it's now football-only (and the Vikings plan to tear it down).

SOUTH WHITTIER >> A SWAT team forced their way into a South Whittier apartment in search of a wanted parolee late Friday, but did not find the man, officials said.
Deputies patrolling about 7 p.m. in the 11900 block of Inez Avenue in the unincorporated county area of South Whittier spotted a man in his mid-30s who was wanted for violating his parole, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said. The man bolted from deputies as they approached him, running into a nearby apartment.
The deputies followed and got the resident's permission to search the apartment, Lt. Daniel Gillespie said. The deputies cleared all but one room of the apartment, in which the suspect was believed to be hiding.
The Sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau, or SWAT team, responded to deal with the possibly holed-up suspect, the lieutenant said.
The SWAT deputies deployed a flash-bang grenade and forced their way into the room about 11 p.m., he said. But the suspect was not inside.

On Sunday (May 2), Conan O'Brien sat down with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes."
It was the first day O'Brien was legally allowed to speak publicly under the terms of his settlement with NBC following his departure from NBC.
It wasn't a hard-hitting interview, but O'Brien frankly discusses his past five months, including his current tour and his upcoming late night show on TBS. He doesn't have specific or harsh words regarding any of his "adversaries," but you might come away feeling that O'Brien isn't feeling any great love for either Jay Leno or Jeff Zucker.

Ok...create a team survival match and then select hotel. As soon as you select hotel and it starts to load, pull the etherned cord out. The "You lost connection" screen apears. Put the cord back in, and select cancel. Log back in to xbox live and the game. Go to stats of the person you want to steal. Typically, people are going to Overall Adversarial stats. Select that player with A...Hotel will then launch up with you in there alone. After the game, you have that person's stats. All stats!

text: Grant Information Applications for Ruby Habitat Enhancement Fund Project Proposals During the course of permitting their natural gas pipeline project that crosses Nevada and three other western states, Ruby Pipeline LLC entered into three voluntary Cooperative Agreements to implement conservation measures for Sage Grouse and Pygmy Rabbits, Threatened and Endangered Species and Migratory Birds. The Nevada Department of Wildlife and the Bureau of Land Management entered into an agreement with Ruby Pipeline LLC and received $8.8 Million for habitat protection and enhancement and other conservation efforts for the benefit of Sage Grouse and Pygmy Rabbits.The first set of projects was approved by review panels comprised of both agencies. Those projects which include: Pre and post construction pygmy rabbit monitoring, noxious weed treatments, sagebrush habitat restoration and sage grouse habitat use monitoring, account for the first $500,000 in projects. Additional projects are currently being reviewed. Proposals that meet the specific criteria of location and subject are welcome from the responsible public, environmental contractors, the University, and governmental agencies. Applications are available from either NDOW or the BLM. All funds must be obligated within five years.A link to the forms required for consideration of a project can be found on this page. All projects must demonstrate a benefit to either sage grouse or pygmy rabbits and be located in Elko County, Humboldt County or the Surprise Field office boundary of Washoe County.
