Mary Jo Byrne was a loving mother, wife, and grandmother. Her family described her as "strict but passionate," and all four of her daughters very much knew they were loved. Most of all, she taught her family to work hard, set a positive example, and take care of their own. Mary Jo lived with COPD for 20 years. The disease slowed her down and would try very hard to keep up with her family as best she could. She was a social person and loved shopping, but outings became increasingly difficult over time. The family said COPD was "cruel and debilitating."
When the Byrne family lost Mary Jo to the disease, they decided to take action to raise awareness and funds. Now, they plan an annual race called the MK4MJ, which raises money for individuals who cannot afford rehabilitation and medication. We reached out to the Byrne family to learn more about their efforts:
Q: Tell us about your event.
A: A portion of the proceeds from the race goes to a scholarship fund that assists patients who can't afford medication or rehab services. The scholarship fund pays for those services. The scholarship fund is in mom's name.
Q: Organizing a race is a lot of work. How do you ensure success?
A: Our family and friends promote, promote, and promote the race. A lot of marketing and networking goes into the planning of the race. We are blessed with a lot of family and friends who are big supporters of the race. We have no payroll, and we shop and get the lowest price on everything we buy. Our biggest expense is the timing company and t-shirts. We also pray a lot!
Q: How do you get everything done?
1. The first thing we did was to organize our staff and apply for the 501c3.
2. We chose a date, location, a timing company, registration company and set a budget. (Many requirements must be met at this stage.)
3. Set up the website, Facebook and Twitter page.
4. Created advertisement literature, sponsorship tiers, promoted as much as possible (Press Release, Local Event Websites, Email Blasts, Facebook Campaigns, Twitter, Newsletters, Health Fairs, Church Bulletins and etc.).
5. Had fundraisers (pizza night, bingo and etc.) to raise money to promote the race.
6. Organized volunteers for packet pick-up and event day, ordered t-shirts, and reviewed race day event.
7. Race Day, set-up, day of registration, 5k race, kids fun run and COPD Honoree Walk, clean up, and Prayed a lot!!! We could not do this by ourselves. It takes many volunteers, especially day of race.
Q: Is it hard to get involved with fundraising?
A: It is easy to get involved. The first year it was not hard to ask for money and people were quite generous, but the second year and years later, it becomes harder, especially during hard times. We are always trying to find other sources of income to support the race.
Q: Who are your supporters?
A: Local people that mother knew personally in the community. Business associates, Doctors, church members, family and friends.
We applaud the Byrne family for their great work with the MK4MJ, Running with Wings 5k race in honor of their mother. If you live in Shawnee, KS, tell your friends and family to register in support!

Reader Theories and Comments From Lost Episode "Happily Ever After"
Lost Logic: Reader Thoughts and Theories
On this week's episode of Lost, the sideways world gets a game changer when Desmond comes into the mix. I had the pleasure of chatting about the episode with the ladies at Mother Jones, and many of you brought up other insightful points that I just have to share. Let's review!
- I am starting to wonder if all of Widmore's people are cognizant of the island in the flash sideways, i.e. Keamy, Eleanor, George. — 356UIK
- Why did Desmond meet Penny in the same place (stadium) he first met Jack? That has to be meaningful, right? Is it a clue that Penny is the mother of Jack's son?? She goes running in the same place Jack does, her half-brother is an incredible pianist and so is the kid, and isn't the kid's name also Daniel? I guess this isn't really all that important to the show's outcome, but I still think that might have been a cool little clue as to who the kid's mother (and Jack's ex-wife) is. Another sign that this sideways world just isn't quite right. — Anonymous
Two more if you
- I think Desmond died while being electromagnetized! And Widmore's group think he survived, but the MIB brought him back (aka, became 'infected'). That is why he so willingly followed Sayid. He is now numb just like Sayid is. — Anonymous
- Anyone pick up on the fact that Sayid is MIB's henchman, and Desmond is Widmore/Jacob's henchman, they are now marching through the jungle together? I smell a life/death confrontation coming........ — redson68
Do any of these stir up new feelings about this week's episode? Or have you come to any big revelations since our chat yesterday? Sound off in comments and don't forget to check out the Lost Fans group in the Buzz Community!

Emily Adopted
Age: Young
Sex:Female (Sterilized)
Emily is a terrier Mix, her estimated date of birth is 6/16/12 and she weighs 20 lbs. She is up to date on all of her shots and she is fixed. Emily is a very playful little lady, and is very good at jumping. She doesn't jump on people, but at our Saturday adoption events Emily is very visible as she tries to jump out of the playpen to play with all the people that stop by. While she does play with the other dogs, it's obvious that Emily prefers to play with people. She's very sweet as she comes up to someone sitting down, puts her front paws on their legs and looks them in the eye, just asking for an ear scratch. Emily is awaiting a home and a family she can give all her loving too, and maybe get a little cuddling in return.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. We do not have a central location to see our dogs. We do adoption events every Saturday at Petco, 3495 Sports Arena Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92110 from 9am to 2pm.

As TRIP CITY's resident photographer, I've had the opportunity to photograph some fascinating subjects over the past year. For TC's one-year anniversary I thought it would be a good time to look back at some of the faces we've featured on the site. Many of the images presented in the gallery above were taken for the podcast and for me, represent a body of work which would not exist if not for my involvement with this site. I'm quite proud of the work I've done and look forward to discovering who I might be seeing through my camera's viewfinder during the next year.

Original Private Practice cast member Audra McDonald will be leaving the Grey's Anatomy spinoff at the end of the season. According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello who scooped the news, New York-based McDonald is exiting the show to spend more time with her family, including 10-year-old daughter Zoe, in the Big Apple. For the past 4 years, she has been bi-coastal while filming Private Practice in Los Angeles. While she won't be a regular on the medical drama anymore, McDonald is expected to reprise her character of Naomi in guest appearances.
Audra McDonald To Depart 'Private Practice'
11 Comments
Hope this means she'll be back on Broadway soon! Private Practice was a waste of this four-time Tony Award-winner's talents. They never gave her material of any real emotional depth or soul; I stopped watching after 5 episodes.
Agreed. Big Grey's Anatomy fan, but PP never did it for me. There's more out there for her.
When you are a 4 times Tony winner and show runners give a major arc to that talentless hack KaDee Strickland before they give you one, you leave.
Audra has been doing this commute for four years. It was even worse when her child was six than it is now that the kid is 10, and it has been the way that 40% of her life has been. Even more if you only factor the years the child can actually remember.
Strickland is actually acting the hell out of this season 4 storyline that she's been given. Ask me during seasons 1-3 though and I might have agreed with 'talentless hack;' who knew?
Looking forward to seeing Audra back on Broadway soon!
She will almsost certainly be back on Broadway. She's such a talented singer it's ridiculous.
When it comes to TV, she (and Kristin Chenoweth) need the right vehicle to showcase their skills.
SHe always stuck out on that showlike a sore thumb. I love her onBroadway, but she never worked in this show. Her character has no sex appeal, and everyone acts like they are in high school regarding sex and relationships.
All of Shonda Rhimes shows treat sex and love like middle school and high school. Grown men and women have crushes and get dopey around each other. It's so strange.
I admire Ms. Rhimes success and talent I just wish the shows didn't dwell in this area so much.
I bet Shonda is regretting recasting Merrin Dungey for her now huh?
Merrin Dungey was so much better! Shonda-and ABC execs really blew it. Audra was as interesting on that show as watching a piece of done toast.
I wish Audra McDonald the best ! She deserves a bigger career, not just on Broadway, but also in film. Audra needs that one career making film role to be on top.
Big fan of Audra…and the Tony's really mean a lot. Gonna miss her. She's just a really top notch actress…and incredibly hot. Very hot. She'll be back. Too talented not to.

Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by bensmom1
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
We flew direct to Houston from Charlotte the day of the cruise--I was glad we didn't bother w/the extra night in Galveston. We booked the airport transfer per the instructions on Carnival's website, and had a comfortable 1.25-hour ride on a charter bus. Embarkation was amazingly simple. I don't know exactly how, but we didn't stand in a line for even a second. What a contrast to debarkation.
Our stateroom (8A balcony) was very roomy, even with a child. The steward made up the couch into an extra bed for DS and he slept great every night. Our bed was very comfy--nice pillows and duvet. The More bathroom had plenty of shelf space for toiletries, though we did bring hanging toiletry kits as well. We brought a pop-up mesh laundry hamper and stuck it in the bathroom which kept things much neater. One thing I wish I had brought was an inflatable tub to bathe DS. The shower is just too small for an adult to get in there w/a child.
I was glad we had a balcony, mainly b/c we traveled w/friends who stayed next door. We got the steward to unlock the privacy divider between our balconies and had "cocktail hour" out there every evening--one of the nicest parts of our cruise. We didn't bring a bungee cord to keep the door open, but you can just wedge a towel to do that. I didn't feel the balcony was any danger for DS, b/c the door was way too heavy for him to open himself and he was never out of our sight when we were out there. But I will say that we heard more noise at night b/c of the balcony. Luckily we weren't near any loud spring breakers, but we woke up every night from neighbors moving around their balcony furniture, opening/closing the balcony doors, etc. One thing I really wish we'd brought is a "white noise" clock or noisemaker. The ship is massive! I liked it--less noticeable motion, more people of course, but it never really felt crowded except at peak buffet times in the Lido restaurant, and if you were looking for a deck chair in the sun after early morning. There were a couple of bars I never even found. The decor is very nice, colorful but not obnoxious.
We ate in the dining room all but one night and really enjoyed it. The food was for the most part very good, some was even excellent. The service was always great. We ate at the Point supper club one night and it was WELL worth the $25 pp cover charge. Wonderful food, gorgeous presentation and atmosphere, and impeccable service. The lunch buffets on Lido were pretty good--things I liked were the several nice salad choices and a pasta station. The desserts were pretty good. The breakfast buffet was the same every day and what you'd expect--I especially liked the omelets.
There were plenty of choices for activities, most of which we didn't do b/c we had DS with us. We never went to the spa, never "laid out" on deck, hardly set foot in the casino, didn't do any of the funny contests or dance classes, didn't play bingo or go to the art auctions. But we were never bored! We only went to two of the shows (Motown tribute, and final "Carnival Legends" show) and they were both a lot of fun. We went to the disco one night and it was practically empty--I'm not sure why.
OK, for your parents of young kids, I will try to give plenty of info on Camp Carnival as it was hard for me to find beforehand. DS was in the 2-5 year group. You sign up the first night, but it isn't open until the next morning. For the 2-5 age group, they issue you a beeper for the whole cruise. The staff told us there were over 600 kids of Camp Carnival age on our cruise, but in the 2-5 room there were never more than 30 at a time--which sounds like a lot, but it really wasn't--and most of the time there aren't nearly that many. They hang out in a big but comfortable playroom (they don't go outside--which is much safer and you don't have to worry about sunburns). It was well-equipped w/toys, a computer, and TV screens for the late-night "babysitting" from 10 pm - 2 am (they show videos during that whole time--we picked up DS one night at 1:15 am and he was still awake!) Other than the last night of the cruise, the kids can have dinner w/CC staff in the upper part of the Lido restaurant. Usually this is at 5:45 pm, except the two formal nights when it's at 7 pm. CC is closed for an hour or so before dinner. On port days, if you're on board, they want you to pick up your kids for lunch, but if you go into port you can leave kids at CC for lunch and until you return. On sea days, it's closed between 12 pm - 2 pm for everyone except kids UNDER 2 years old. So, for kids under 2, the only time they can use CC is 12 pm - 2 pm, and the "babysitting" time after 10 pm. On the first day, we saw a single mother of an 18-month old trying to get her daughter in--her travel agent hadn't told her of the age restrictions. I felt bad for her, but they are very strict about the minimum age, which is perfectly reasonable--you really can't expect the staff to look after younger kids at the same time.
They had plenty of planned activities (covered in the Camp Carnival Capers which you get when you sign up). The staff seemed very good. DS was reluctant to go a couple of times but he always had a lot of fun (and has been asking when if he can go back!). It was so nice to be able to drop him off and do our own thing, but so much better than leaving him at home! Camp Carnival really made our cruise a success. In Montego Bay, we went to Rose Hall Beach Resort which was very nice. We took DS and just hung out on the beach. They also have very nice pools with a lazy river, swim-up bar, etc. Drinks (alcoholic) are included. The lunch buffet was very good with lots of choices. It's about a 30-minute bus ride which was a bit long. We didn't know about the half-hour of shopping included--someone else posted about the shopping area being scary, but I had no problem w/it.
In Grand Cayman, we did the Hell/Turtle Farm/Stingray City tour booked thru Carnival. I don't recommend this w/kids. It's a lot of time in the bus (4.5 hours total, 1/2 hour each way to and from Stingray City on a very crowded boat--only about 45 minutes in the water). Hell is nothing to write home about. The turtles were neat, but we only had a few minutes to look at them, b/c this is the only stop where you can get lunch. Each stop feels like a cattle herd w/so many tour buses coming and going. Stingray City certainly felt like a city of boats and people. It was cool to get in the water, get pictures w/the stingrays, etc. (although DS didn't want to get in the water). But I would recommend Stingray City by itself w/o the other stops, or a different excursion.
In Cozumel, we did the Atlantis Sub (w/o DS as the sub has a minimum age of 4). Pretty neat (it goes down to 100 feet in the coral reefs), but not something I'd do again for $95 pp. We really didn't see that much fish life. For some reason, the guide talked a lot more in Spanish and German (?) than in English, so we didn't learn much, either. And be forewarned, the shore excursion process on the pier is pretty disorganized. Unlike in GC, there aren't signed staging areas for all the tours. We asked a Carnival employee on the pier where to go, and she sent us to the wrong place (even after we checked w/her repeatedly). Only by walking around and finding the Atlantis person (who had already dispatched the rest of our group) were we able to get a taxi to the departure point, where they had held the boat for us.
Debarkation was an absolute nightmare, but I won't dwell on that here--I hope it was a rare occurrence because of the stop in Cancun for the tequila overdose . . . although the ship staff certainly could have handled it much better.
Overall, it was a great experience for our family and we would do it again! Less

Lady Flames Rally Falls Short In 4-2 Loss To 14th-Ranked Oregon State
Liberty pushed the Beavers to the final out as the Lady Flames plated two runs in the seventh and had the bases loaded, but 14th-ranked Oregon State was able to fend off Liberty's charge for a 4-2 victory, closing out Liberty's action in Day 2 of the Hawaiian Airlines Spring Fling Tournament, hosted by Hawaii at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
With the pair of losses, the Lady Flames' record falls to 9-7 on the year. The tournament moves to championship play starting tomorrow. Liberty's opponent will be determined based upon the results of this evening's game.
In the second game against Oregon State, the Beavers took advantage off a lead-off walk to Sherina Galvin to start the second inning. After moving to second on a stolen base, Galvin was able to cross the plate on a RBI base hit through the left side off the infield by Paige Lowe, giving Oregon State a 1-0 edge.
The Beavers added to their lead in the top of the third inning as Natalie Johnson led off the inning with a single straight back up the middle, followed by a two-run homer by Cambria Miranda high off the netting in left field, giving Oregon State a 3-0 lead.
Oregon State tacked on an insurance run in the top of the sixth inning as Stefanie Ewing connected on a solo home run to left field, pushing the Beaver lead to four runs, 4-0.
However, Liberty mounted a rally in the top of the seventh that pushed Oregon State to the final out as the Lady Flames plated two runs on four hits and left the bases loaded as the game ended.
Beth Hensley started the rally with a double to the gap in right center, followed by an infield single off the bat of pinch hitter Taylor McCarty in her first collegiate plate appearance. Fellow pinch hitter Kristina Jerry grounded out to shortstop, allowing Hensley to score, with McCarthy moving to third on the plate.
Jeffs dropped in an infield hit that scored McCarty, followed by Jefferson being struck by a pitch to give Liberty runners at first and second with one out.
Jessica Moore almost ended the game as the senior lifted one to the fence in straightaway center field, but Johnson was able to snag the ball at the warning track.
Ashley Williams drilled a shot down the third base line and legged out an infield single to load the bases with two outs, but Brianne McGowan got Beth Bennett to pop up just behind third base to end the threat and secure the victory for the Beavers.
Sarah Swor suffered the loss as the senior allowed four runs on eight hits in a complete-game effort to fall to 2-2 on the season.
Jeffs led the Lady Flames from the plate as the senior pushed her hitting streak to 13-straight games by going 2-for-4 with a RBI. Bennett was also 2-for-4 and both Hensley and McCarthy were 1-for-1 with a run scored.

Tommy Armstrong - The redshirt freshman quarterback looked more nervous in his state championship game two years ago than he did on Saturday in front of 90,000 screaming Nebraska fans. Armstrong finished 12-of-15 for 169 yards and one touchdown pass.
"It felt great. (head coach Bo Pelini) told me that I worked hard for it and that Ron (Kellogg III) and I were going to switch out. It was a fun experience for us both," said Armstrong. "We just went out there and both learned and took it out on the field."
The question becomes, did Armstrong do enough if Martinez struggles at any given point when healthy to get another chance? It's also no guarantee that Martinez will be back for Illinois. While head coach Bo Pelini feels he will be, we have seen injuries in the past linger to later games unexpectedly.
Ron Kellogg III – On Bo Pelini's TV show, the fifth-year senior quarterback said he's been in the program too long to get nervous. The Omaha product looked cool and collected on the Huskers third series, considering Nebraska had marched down the field the two previous drives with a different quarterback. Kellogg had a lot of people wondering why Nebraska would make a switch after success, but didn't miss a beat.
"I thought I played pretty well. Basically, I wanted to get the ball to our skill guys so they could get some yards and we could make some progress on the field. But more importantly, I wanted to end drives with a touchdown or field goal," said Kellogg. "There was one throw I missed. I kind of under threw Quincy (Enunwa), but I didn't want to get him murdered. He should thank me later.
Stanley Jean-Baptiste – Another game, another interception for the converted wide receiver. The senior was guilty of a few missed tackles and assignments on Saturday, but if he keeps hauling in INTs, he could find himself on an All-Conference list at the end of the year. He's got one now in every contest this season.
"I just anticipated and jumped the route," said Jean-Baptiste. "I'm just trying to keep it going. Hopefully they keep giving me one every game."
Randy Gregory - Pelini told his players during the week the defensive end would get an interception, but I wouldn't of believed it.
But it wasn't just the INT. Gregory continued to pressure upfront and has become the Huskers top pass rusher. The non-conference portion of the schedule was going to be a huge learning curve for the sophomore and he passed with flying colors.
Zaire Anderson - The linebacker seems to be getting more time each and every week, and looks to be getting comfortable in Pelini's defense. On Saturday, he had 11 tackles and will likely have performances like it down the road depending on the team Nebraska plays.
Mo Seisay - The senior had limited work on Saturday when the game matter, and hasn't bounced back from performances against Wyoming and Southern Miss. With the secondary as deep as it is, Seisay might not the opportunity.
Matt Finnin - BRR projected Finnin would be starting by the conference schedule, or very close to it. That won't be happening. He's gotten work, but isn't pushing for a starting spot at this point.
Charles Jackson - Jackson could be seeing his stock rise soon, but he didn't get the playing time the coaching staff was hoping for on Saturday. A work in progress, the sophomore could help when it comes to open field tackles, but has to pick up the defense.
"We were hoping to play Charles Jackson a little more in base in this game, but they didn't play a lot of base," said Pelini. "They played a lot of 11, so they had us in nickel a lot more. In hindsight, I wish we would have gotten him ready to play. Charles, if he can get down the mental part of things, I think he's a guy that could help us. He's still a work in progress, but he shows me he's a playmaker. I know he'll tackle well."

The Old Dog - Poem by Marc Glasby
At a point where the old road meets the hill
and runs down the other side
There's an old tin shed that's standing, still
and a grave where the old dog died
He surely had seen better days
when our paths chanced to cross
As I lit up a fire and laid out my swag
he got up and wandered across
I could see from the look in the old dog's eye
that his race was almost run
but he sat by my side and offered his paw
So I gave him a pat and a bun
I cooked up some meat and he chewed on a bone
then he rested his head on my swag
We sat and we watched as the stars all came out
and his tail did a slow steady wag
We fell fast asleep and I woke with the sun
to find the old dog passed away
So I gathered him up and I buried him deep
and sadly I went on my way
It was later that morning I stopped at a farm
to ask about work round about
and I happened to see a new litter of pups
one turned and came waddling out
He sat on the ground and he offered his paw
and I saw a strange glint in his eye
Had the old dog returned? Was he telling me now
that I shouldn't be sad that he'd died?
Well I picked him right up and his warm puppy tongue
quickly licked off the tear from my cheek
I couldn't think straight, I was stunned and choked up
and found my knees going all weak
So I bought him right there and I gathered him up
He settled right down in my swag
As I walked down the road I could feel the odd thump
as his tail did a slow steady wag.

The Debate's Over !
Globe Is Warming
Don't look now, but the ground has shifted on global
warming. After decades of debate over whether the planet is heating and, if so,
whose fault it is, divergent groups are joining hands with little fanfare to
deal with a problem they say people can no longer avoid.
General Electric is the latest big corporate convert;
politicians at the state and national level are looking for solutions; and
religious groups are taking philosophical and financial stands to slow the
progression of climate change.
They agree that the problem is real. A recent study led by
James Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies confirms that,
because of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases, Earth is
trapping more energy from the sun than it is releasing back into space.
The U.N. International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
estimates that global temperatures will rise 2 to 10 degrees by 2100. A "middle
of the road" projection is for an average 5-degree increase by the end of the
century, says Caspar Amman of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in
Boulder, Colo.
What the various factions don't necessarily agree on is
what to do about it. The heart of the discussion is "really about how to deal
with climate change, not whether it's happening," says energy technology expert
James Dooley of the Battelle Joint Global Change Research Institute in College
Park, Md. "What are my company's options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
Are there new business opportunities associated with addressing climate change?
Those are the questions many businesses are asking today."
The players
GE Chairman Jeffrey Immelt recently announced that his
company, which reports $135 billion in annual revenue, will spend $1.5 billion a
year to research conservation, pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases.
Joining him for the announcement were executives from such mainline corporations
as American Electric Power, Boeing and Cinergy.
Religious groups, such as the United States Catholic
Conference of Bishops, National Association of Evangelicals and National Council
of Churches, have joined with scientists to call for action on climate change
under the National Religious Partnership for the Environment. "Global warming is
a universal moral challenge," the partnership's statement says.
And high-profile politicians from both parties are getting
into the act. For example, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has called for
a reduction of more than 80% over the next five decades in his state's emission
of greenhouse gases that heat in the atmosphere.
To be sure, many companies — most notably oil industry
leader ExxonMobil — still express skepticism about the effects of global
warming. And the Bush administration has supported research and voluntary
initiatives but has pulled back from a multi-nation pact on environmental
The administration was on the defensive last week when The
New York Times reported that a staff lawyer has been softening scientific
assessments of global warming. White House spokesman Scott McClellan defended
such action as a routine part of a multi-agency review process.
Nonetheless, the tides of change appear to be moving
"As big companies fall off the 'I don't believe in climate
change' bandwagon, people will start to take this more seriously," says
environmental scientist Don Kennedy, editor in chief of the journal Science.
Companies aren't changing because of a sudden love for the environment, Kennedy
says, but because they see change as an opportunity to protect their
"On the business side, it just looks like climate change is
not going away," says Kevin Leahy of Cinergy, a Cincinnati-based utility that
reports $4.7 billion in annual revenue and provides electricity, mostly
generated from coal, to 1.5 million customers. Most firms see global warming as
a problem whose risks have to be managed, he says.
Power companies want to know what sort of carbon
constraints they face — carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas — so they can
plan long term and avoid being hit with dramatic emission limits or penalties in
the future, he says.
Science and solutions
Climate scientists say this acceptance comes none too soon.
"All the time we should have been moving forward … has been wasted by arguing
if the problem even exists," says Michael Mann of the University of
The IPCC estimates that rainfall will increase up to 20% in
wet regions, causing floods, while decreasing 20% in arid areas, causing
droughts. The Environmental Protection Agency says melting glaciers and warmer
ocean waters will likely cause an average 2-foot rise in sea level on all U.S.
coasts by 2100.
Carbon dioxide is the byproduct of burning fossil fuels
such as coal, natural gas or oil. There are now about 1 trillion tons of carbon
from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. By the end of the century, atmos-pheric
carbon projections range from 1.2 trillion tons if stringent corrective steps
are taken to 2.8 trillion tons if little is done.
Moving ahead with solutions looks like the hardest part of
the equation for the United States. The Bush administration's stance has
frustrated advocates of a more aggressive response.
Bush explained in a 2001 speech why he opposed joining the
Kyoto Protocol, a global agreement to curb greenhouse gases: "The (Kyoto)
targets themselves were arbitrary and not based upon science. For America,
complying with those mandates would have a negative economic impact, with
layoffs of workers and price increases."
Instead, the administration "harnesses the power of markets
and technological innovation, maintains economic growth, and encourages global
participation," former Energy Department head Spencer Abraham wrote last year in
Science. He pointed to tax incentive programs, climate research and technologies
such as "FutureGen," the Energy Department's 10-year,$1 billion attempt at
creating a coal-fired power plant that emits no greenhouse gases.
Other administration efforts:
· The $1.7 billion hydrogen fuel-cell car initiative
announced two years ago in Bush's State of the Union address.
· A $49 million carbon "sequestration" initiative
with 65 projects to see whether carbon dioxide can be stripped from
· Participation in the international ITER program to
develop nuclear fusion as an energy source.
The administration has encouraged voluntary efforts.
Fourteen trade groups representing industrial, energy, transportation and forest
companies have signed up for a program aimed at cutting greenhouse-gas emissions
18% by 2012.
So why isn't this enough to assuage critics?
Rick Piltz, a science policy expert who resigned in protest
from the administration's Climate Change Science Program in March, says the
reliance on voluntary measures and long-term technology breakthroughs is a
roadblock against simple conservation steps that could curb emissions now. Piltz
provided the edited documents that were the subject of last week's story in The
New York Times.
Commonly cited examples of the conservation steps Piltz
· Incentives for emission controls on the oldest and
least efficient power plants.
· More stringent mileage and tailpipe requirements
on vehicles.
· Expanded tax credits for more efficient air
conditioners, hybrid cars and appliances.
Political leaders will support such measures only if the
benefits come at a low cost to the economy, says William Reilly, co-chair of the
bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy and former head of the EPA under
President George H.W. Bush. "But there is a lot going on, and I think we will be
seeing some movement on this."
Away from the political arena, other irons are in the
· More people are advocating nuclear power.
Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore told a congressional panel in April that
"nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting energy source that can
effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy global demand."
· Immelt called for the United States to adopt an
emissions-trading plan for greenhouse gases. Taking a cue from the EPA's policy
of having companies buy and sell permits to release sulfur dioxide, which is
responsible for acid rain, economists suggest that such a scheme would limit
carbon dioxide by making emissions economically less feasible. In Congress, the
Climate Stewardship Act proposed by Sens. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., and John
McCain, R-Ariz., would commit the country to such a plan.
No 'silver bullet' solution
Pressure for reforms may come most strongly from "socially
responsible" investors. "We make bottom-line arguments to companies to make
decisions in the interests of their shareholders," says John Wilson of Christian
Brothers Investment Services, which manages $3.5 billion in investor funds. The
firm advises 1,000 Catholic institutions, such as churches, schools and
A Christian Brothers resolution in May asked ExxonMobil "to
explain the scientific basis for its ongoing denial of the broad scientific
consensus that the burning of fossil fuels contributes to global climate
change." The resolution garnered 10.3% of shareholders' votes, representing 665
million shares worth more than $36 billion, despite the opposition of
"The future of energy is plainly moving away from fossil
fuels and we want the companies (that) we invest in to explain how they plan to
adjust," Wilson says.
Dooley, of the Battelle Institute, says: "We need a whole
series of 'home runs' and maybe even a couple of 'grand slams' to successfully
address this problem. More efficient refrigerators, better and cheaper solar
cells, hybrid automobiles, fuel cells, power plants that capture and store their
(carbon dioxide) deep below the surface and nuclear power. They all have
important roles to play."
"No one seriously talks about trying to address climate
change with one technology," Dooley says. "Everyone understands that there isn't
a 'silver bullet' out there waiting to be discovered."

Sorry, and yes, I was sloppy there.
The article I read was about the peoples and their DNA in Galicia &
Cantabria Spain. Even though the Y chromosome J haplogroup is rare
overall in Spain (perhaps as a result of the expulsion of the Jews and
Moors in the 15'th century) in Galicia and Cantabria J is strong. There
is an area in northern Galicia (Marina Lucense) where J (the data says
J2 but the article shows just J was tested, 12f2) where J is 32 percent
of the population and an area in Cantabria (Liebana Valley) where J is
18% of the population, and Cantabria sits right there next to Basque
Country. The frequency of J drops as one move closer to Basque Country.
Still the "Aburto" surname (or an earliar version "Agurto") seems to
have originated in Basque Country, near a place called Derio ("on the
road to Mungia"). There are more J's in Galicia and more people have
emigrated from there than immigrated. In the 18'th century the economy
of Galicia collapsed and many people left for the "New World". They went
to Argentina (there are many J2's in Buenos Aires today), Brazil,
Venezuela, Germany & France, and I'm sure other places. My branch of the
J2's came to the "New World" earliar though because I have found records
of "Aburto's" in Puebla & Vera Cruz Mexcio back to the 17'th century.
Sounds like a wonderful walking tour you had there! I have not been
there (Northern SPain). I did drive around in Southern Spain though. I
was in the US Navy then and our ship broke down in Rota Spain so I
rented an old car, with holes in its muffler I remember :-), no one
seemed to mind, and drove all around Southern Spain. It was great, even
though I could speak very little Spanish!
Thanks for writing!,

Hundreds of competitors will be in action in Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club's young athletes open meeting which is being staged at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre for the 31st time on Sunday, April 1st.
In addition being a curtain-raiser to the summer track and field season, the Hercules Wimbledon meeting has proved a valuable stepping-stone for aspiring internationals. Past winners include Olympic sprinter Montell Douglas, who holds the women's under 17 100 and 200 metres records set in 2002 while another Olympic athlete Emeka Udechuku holds the men's under 17 shot and discus records he set in 1995. Olympic marathon runner Mark Steinle still holds the boys under 13 1500m record set back in 1987.
Last year the programme was expanded with the inclusion of under 20 events including two mile races with £100 prize money for the men's and women's winners. Both the 2011 mile winners are entered again. Kieran Reilly, who went on to win the South of England junior men's 1500m title after winning the Crystal Palace event in 4 minutes 27.7 seconds, returns to defend his men's mile title. His main challengers include Ben Waterman who took the 1500m silver medal in the South of England indoor championships last month and Michael Callegari, winner of the bronze medals in both the South of England and UK Inter-Counties cross country championships. Katie Snowden, the UK Inter-Counties senior 800m champion, who won the women's mile at Crystal Palace last year also defends her title.
This year, the under 20 events have been extended to include the Brenda Bedford women's discus with a first prize of £100. Bedford competed at international level at both discus and shot between 1961 and 1974. She represented England at three Commonwealth Games (Jamaica in 1966, Edinburgh in 1970 and Christchurch, New Zealand in 1974); and competed for Great Britain in the European Championships in Athens in 1969 and Helsinki in 1971. Brenda still tops the Hercules Wimbledon all-time women's rankings in both discus and shot, and it is hoped that the Brenda Bedford Discus will help to encourage a new generation of women in this event.
Over the years the Young Athletes Meeting has also reflected the Hercules Wimbledon's proud tradition of exchanges with clubs from around the world. This year a contingent of young athletes from the Czech Republic will be taking part. The youngsters are from the TJ Liaz club in Jablonec. The meeting starts at 11am with the girls and boys under 13 1500m races and the girls under 13 and under 15 shot, the boys under 15 long jump and the girls under 15 high jump. It runs through till the men's under 20 200m at around 5pm.
Hercules Wimbledon qualified for the England 12-stage road relay championships at Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, on April 14th with a solid performance in the South of England championships at Milton Keynes on Sunday. Alex Robinson got the team off to a good start handing over in 13th place with the fastest long stage run of 24:38. Joe Toomey posted the fastest club time of 16:49 for the short stage in moving through from 22nd to 19th on the sixth leg. Overall, the team finished 18th out of 36 complete teams.
Hercules Wimbledon's former English cross country champion Dave Clarke continued his preparations for next month's Virgin London marathon with a fine run in the Fleet half-marathon on Sunday. He was first veteran over 50 finisher and 36th out of more than 2250 runners in 1:16:46, breaking the Hercules Wimbledon club record for the age group. His time broke the record set by Steve Badgery at Wimbledon in 1998 of 1:17:01. Also at Fleet, Stewart Bond was 124th in 1:25:11 and Vikki Filsell was fourth woman veteran over 40 in 1:33:43.
Hercules Wimbledon's Dan Pescod was ninth out of almost 350 runners in the Audi Wimbledon 10km race on Sunday in 37:18. New Hercules Wimbledon signing Dominque Geoffroy was 24th in 39:19.
Stuart Fraser was first veteran over 45 in the Self Transcendence10km road race in Battersea Park on Saturday finishing seventh out of almost 200 runners in 35:04. Frank Wood was third over 45 veteran finisher in a personal best of 38:31. Maurice Sharp was third over 60 veteran in 46:26.

East Tennesseans spent Tuesday night joining the rest of the country ringing in the new year.
There were festivities all over town, including ball drops and fireworks in both Market Square and Gatlinburg, lots of music, dancing comedy, food and drink.
Some interesting history: The ball drop has been a symbol of the new year since 1906. New York City had their first New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square in 1904 with fireworks. The city banned fireworks two years later, and event organizers arranged to have a 700-pound ball lowered down a pole.
The tradition of fireworks started in China, where they were invented. It's believed the noise scares off evil spirits and misfortune.
Here in East Tennessee, thousands gathered to celebrate new beginnings as the clock struck midnight.

- Diet coke with lime (just trying to be honest here)
- Fat free or regular half and half (mostly for coffee, but also for cooking)
- Eggs, to make egg muffins or breakfast casseroles
- Lettuce, washed and ready for salads
- Cardini's Caesar dressing (This is one of my all time favorite dressings. For years I felt guilty eating it because it's relatively high in fat. Now I eat it all the time and enjoy it every time.)
- Ranch Dip (made from Hidden Valley packet, but I add some mayo besides the sour cream because that's how my Grandma Denny made it)
- Veggies to dip in the Ranch Dip, usually snow peas, mini sweet peppers from Costco, and celery, cut up and put in little baggies
- Baggies of nuts to eat for a snack (My favorites are cashews and dry roasted almonds. I measure them with 1/4 cup measuring cup rather than count them out as South Beach recommends, but it seems to be working for me.)
- String cheese or Precious brand Cheddar sticksters for snacks.
- Feta cheese (I use it mostly for omelets and salads like American Greek Salad, but sometimes just for a snack.)
- Cucumbers (I'm mad about cucumbers and use them in salads)
- Egg casserole to eat for breakfast.
- Sugar free jello pudding, the kind you mix with milk (chocolate fudge is my favorite flavor)
- Diet A & W Root Beer (When you're really craving something sweet, this tastes like heaven.)
- Low carb tortillas (I recommend Mission brand or Carb Chopper brand. I use them to make "egg burritos to die for" which I freeze and re-heat for breakfast. They are also great to make the crust for low-carb pizza. Watch for my new variation of the low carb pizza recipe coming this month.)
- Shredded low fat cheddar and mozarella cheese
- Low carb yogurt (Kroger Carb Master brand is my favorite.)
- Popsicle brand sugar free "Tropicals" popsicles.
- Low carb peanut butter (I eat it on celery.)
- Buttermilk (I use it to make Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and homemade blue cheese dressing.)
It's Friday at last! The week after Christmas vacation is a tough one for teachers and students, but my students have been great this week. I'm going to reward them with a fun art project today. In my food blog life, the weekend means it's time to think about what kind of herb, plant, veggie, or flower to write about for Weekend Herb Blogging. I have a couple of ideas in the back of my mind, but I'm also going to try to make it to the Asian market this weekend, so that may give me some more ideas.

It's tough at the top. Just ask Rebel Wilson. In the same week American television critics began to round on her new show, Super Fun Night, with sharp claws out, she has landed on the cover of New York magazine.
In one, sweeping, ridiculous Hollywood moment, it's an example of how Tinseltown giveth. And taketh away.
A dolled-up Wilson appears on the cover of New York and is profiled by journalist Lynn Hirschberg inside.
Founded in 1968, New York is one of America's most prominent culture magazines and securing its cover a rare coup, particularly for a newcomer.
It's a gorgeous cover photo. And it's a tiny, but influential cherry that sits atop a whirlwind year for Wilson.
Since arriving in the US and striking into the American film and television industry, she has landed well and truly on her feet.
The turning point was the hit film Bridesmaids, which confirmed Wilson as a bona fide Hollywood star.
It has been followed up by a slew of movies, some good, some not so good, an appearance at the MTV Awards - which was either hilarious or appalling, depending on who you ask - and the new TV series Super Fun Night.
The series, about a group of girls who resolve to turn their Friday nights into the most possible fun, was created by Wilson.
She writes and stars in it, and it is co-produced by American comedy favourite Conan O'Brien. But according to the wire agency AAP, the critics are already circling.
''Super fright night is more like it. This show is so painful and cringe-inducing that it's scary,'' critic Chuck Barney wrote in the Contra Costa Times.
''ABC's Super Fun Night has an incredibly limited amount of fun in its pilot episode,'' wrote the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Rob Owen. ''Like so many comedies … it's occasionally amusing but rarely outright funny.''
Matt Webb Mitovich of TVLine.com said the show fell ''wide of the mark''.
While not all of the US TV critics have wide influence, Mitovich is one of its most respected.
And TVLine.com, the website he writes for, is a must-read in Hollywood.
Other critics, such as USA Today's Robert Bianco, were more positive.
''Wilson certainly gives it her all, but too often, her all either isn't enough or proves too much,'' he wrote.
''Still, in a relatively bland season, Wilson is most certainly anything but, and that's reason enough to give Fun a shot.''
The series launches on US television on October 2.
Harsh reviews aside, Wilson's enthusiasm is hardly likely to be dampened.
The 27-year-old Australian has won almost universal endorsement from the Hollywood establishment.
Jason Moore, who directed her in Pitch Perfect, said ''there's this beautiful openness to the way Rebel approaches everything''.
Bachelorette writer-director Leslye Headland said complex comedy characters ''need really, really adept and fearless actors''.
''I met Rebel and I saw her work and I was like, I have to have her,'' she said.
Hollywood, it seems, agrees.

Twenty properties were evacuated on Ridley Road, Bromley, when the walls of Eve and Terry Shepherd's house began cracking in the early hours of Tuesday.
Residents have spent Easter with family, or in a nearby hotel. Cracks are still appearing in the road.
Engineers will not know why the house, near a railway line, collapsed until deep excavation has been carried out.
The owners of three neighbouring properties have been told they will have to be demolished, but there are concerns more will have to be flattened.
Resident Heather Lewis, who is among 11 families staying at a hotel over Easter, has been told her house will have to be bulldozed.
"Clearly it's not our family home anymore and it's coming down on Tuesday," she said.
"It's very sad, it's the house we brought our babies home to and we didn't expect to leave it quite like this."
Mr and Mrs Shepherd were woken in the early hours of Tuesday by the sound of cracks appearing in the walls of their semi-detached house.
They got dressed and tried to get out but their front door was stuck. They woke their neighbours who also had difficulty getting out of their property.
Within hours the front of the Shepherds' home had fallen away.
Twenty properties were evacuated and residents do not know when, or if, they will be able to return to their homes.
The rest of the estate is without gas but sewage and water pipes are still holding.
Until the neighbouring properties have been flattened and deep excavation can be carried out, engineers still do not know why the house collapsed.
The house was near the rail track and a 40-metre exclusion zone was set up shortly after the collapse - causing disruption to Eurostar and domestic rail services.

Hospitals - Philippines
Despite some initial problems, health care of this nation is of good
quality. Facilities may not as impressive as those found in high-end US
hospitals. Top Philippine hospitals include the Medical Center in Alabang,
the Asian Hospital, the Makati Medical Center, the Medical City in Ortigas,
and St. Lukes Medical Center in Quezon City. Medical practitioners in the
Philippines are graduates from top universities in the country, and most of
them have in United States medical schools. Additionally, there are also
doctors that have practiced medicine in the US before sharing their
expertise in the Philippines. Filipino nurses are also trained by nursing
schools with the best standards. In fact, most of the nurses working in the
US are Filipinos.
Finding the right hospital in the Philippines is not that difficult because there are a number of options to choose from. The Philippines has both private and public health care institutions. Most of the government hospitals provide quality healthcare the same way private hospitals do.
You should be aware that most of the well-trained doctors in the Philippines are serving government hospitals. What differs between the Philippine government hospitals and the Philippine private hospitals is simply the facilities. Most of the public hospitals in the Philippines are not equipped with the latest technologies in medicine. But then, most Filipinos seek for advice from these government hospitals because charges are not implemented. As for the private hospitals, there are also a hundred ones located in key cities of the nation. There are also tertiary hospitals that have the latest in medical technologies. However, because they are private hospitals, they are a bit expensive than the government hospitals.
The Philippines have stand by ambulances for any emergency situations. They also have a hotline number where on can call in times of emergencies. Hospitals are also equipped with the latest in first aid treatments.
With the low cost of medicine and health care, living in the Philippines is really not a thing to worry. The people are very hospitable and accommodating, the doctors and medical practitioners are friendly, and the place is really very inviting.
The capital city of Manila houses two of the best hospitals in Philippines. They are:
Makati Medical Center
Amorsolo Street, Makati city, Manila, Philippines
Contact Number- 011 632 815 9911
St. Luke's Hospital
E. Rodriguez Avenue, Quezon city
Contact Number- 011 632 722 6161/ 723- 0301
Some of the other hospitals situated in various cities in Philippines are:
Jose B Lingad Hospital- City of San Fernando, Pampanga
Angeles University Foundation Medical Center- Angeles city
San Juan de Dios Hospital – Pasay City
Ramos General Hospital- Tarlac City

"My God, what is this - the Dark Ages?"
Arguably the most popular
Star Trek
film among non-fans,
The Voyage Home
is certainly the most accessible film in the series, and is also one of the more entertaining. Directed by long-time series regular Leonard Nimoy (that's Spock to you and me), the film falls back on a tried and true plot device of the franchise - time travel. But if the plot's a bit recycled, darned if these guys don't make it fun.
The story takes place immediately after the events in
Star Trek III
. Captain Kirk and his crew have broken almost every regulation in the book to rescue their friend Spock. Acting against orders, they've stolen the starship Enterprise to retrieve Spock's body from the Genesis planet, destroyed the Enterprise to escape Klingon treachery, and then commandeered the Klingon's ship to return Spock to his home planet Vulcan, where his mind and body were restored.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
begins with our heroes preparing to return to Earth from Vulcan, to face the music from Starfleet for their actions. Meanwhile, an alien probe has arrived from deep space and is wreaking havoc back on Earth, its strange signals causing serious damage to the planet's atmosphere. En-route in their captured Bird of Prey, Kirk and company hear the news and make a discovery - the probe's signals match the songs of humpback whales, which have been extinct for centuries due to human negligence. So our heroes formulate a desperate plan to save the day, by time traveling back to the Earth of 1987 to find a pair of humpback whales, and then returning with them to the future so they can answer the probe's call. Still with me? As goofy as the plot sounds, it works surprisingly well. And along the way, the film manages to deliver a number of decent laughs. Think of it as the ultimate fish out of water story (no pun intended). After all, just imagine what someone from the idyllic 23rd century depicted in
Star Trek
would think of life in the good old 20th century?
Leonard Nimoy surprised more than a few filmgoers here, proving that he's a darned capable director.
The Voyage Home
rarely bogs down, and taking our heroes out of their familiar futuristic setting manages to make them seem that much more human and engaging. Just watching Kirk and Spock attempting to fit in with the crowd in 1987 San Francisco is worth a few good laughs ("Oh yeah? Well a double dumb-ass on you!"). You've gotta love Scotty's reaction to 80's computer technology ("A keyboard? How quaint."). And because of damage done during the timewarp, one of the film's subplots has Chekov and Uhura attempting to collect energy particles that will help fix their ship's engines - particles that can only be collected from a "primitive" nuclear reactor. So they decide to sneak aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to get them... and naturally, it's the U.S.S. Enterprise. How can any self-respecting
Star Trek
fan not love that?
As near as I can tell, this is exactly the same anamorphic widescreen film transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio mix used on the previous DVD edition. And that's okay, because the previous disc looked and sounded fine. The colors are accurate and the contrast is excellent, with good detail even in the darker picture areas and only a minimum of edge enhancement visible. And there's very little digital artifacting, even in scenes which might give MPEG-2 compression trouble - the murky, smoke-filled interiors of the Klingon ship for example. The audio isn't quite as dynamic as it is on some of the later
DVDs, but it's still plenty solid and does the job. While there aren't nearly as many nifty surround sound tricks as you'd expect, the dialogue is clear and well centered in the front of the soundstage, with good bass and nice ambient fill on occasion from the rear channels.
Now, on to the extras. I'm gonna say it right now: this is the first one of these
film special editions that I've really, thoroughly enjoyed since
The Motion Picture
. Paramount has a formula for these things, which is to do lots of featurettes. And that's fine... provided you do them right. Finally, they've done them right!
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Disc One features another feature-length audio commentary track, this one with Nimoy and Shatner. Why someone didn't get these two together for a commentary before, I don't know. These guys are old friends, with a lot of shared history between them, and they have a very easy camaraderie. There are plenty of funny moments, a few nice words about the late DeForest Kelly, interesting comments on alternate story ideas, even ruminations on
films that could have been had Paramount not moved on from the Original Crew. There are a few long pauses here and there, but this track is a fun listen, that long-time fans will really appreciate. Also on Disc One is another great text commentary from the Okuda duo, featuring many fascinating little bits of trivia for you diehards.
Now, back to those featurettes. Disc Two includes a whole mess of them, and darned if they aren't well done in terms of both content AND production quality! Someone was obviously listening to those many of us who reviewed the previous collector's editions, and bemoaned the amateurish production values while praising the material contained therein. These featurettes look light-years better than what we've seen before. They're nicely polished, feature actual professional lighting and camerawork and are well paced and edited! And they're substantive to boot!
Time Travel: The Art of the Possible
features interviews with scientists who talk about the various interesting possibilities and quirks of physics (you even get some spiffy retro graphics to illustrate what they're talking about). Real experts on whales discuss the creatures at the heart of the film in
The Language of Whales
. One of the many
novel writers talks about the Vulcan people in
A Vulcan Primer
Kirk's Women
(a big favorite of mine) features interviews with several of the actresses who played the Captain's various flames over the years dishing on both Kirk the character and Shatner the man (this musta been a huge ego boost for old Bill to watch!).
Future's Past: A Look Back
runs almost a half hour and is packed with on-set footage, interviews with cast and crew, production anecdotes... you name it. We get a look at the audio work done for the film in
Below-the-Line: Sound Design
(did you know Nimoy himself made the sound of the alien probe?). There are discussions about the decidedly down-to-Earth special effects needs of the film (like creating remote controlled whale miniatures) and the design of the Klingon Bird of Prey. There are touching tributes to Gene Roddenberry (by his son) and actor Mark Lenard (by his wife and daughters). There's a great little video montage of on-set photos set to music. There's more than a half-hour of original interview footage with the three lead actors. You get storyboard art for the film's major sequences. You get the original theatrical trailer. And all of it is wrapped up with the best animated menus yet for these feature film DVDs. Did I mention that EVERYTHING is anamorphic? Well it is.
Our hats off to Paramount for finally nailing this stuff.
Running through this special edition of
The Voyage Home
, you're reminded of just how much fun
Star Trek
at its best can be. It makes me yearn for the good old days... and hopeful for the future. Who knows? Once you got past all the lame-duck character "introduction" moments early in the film,
turned into a damned good action flick, with the best space battle footage ever seen in
. And I'm even finally starting to enjoy the new series,
, this season. Except when the Captain makes touchy-feely speeches about gazelles. Or brings his dog on important away missions. Or makes ga-ga eyes at his Vulcan First Officer (could there BE any less chemistry between those two?). Or when the Chief Engineer comes off looking like a pan-fried huckleberry. Or when when the token ethnic supporting cast members have almost nothing to do in yet another episode. Or when... well okay, so maybe the show still needs some work.
But future or not, at least we've always got the good old days of
Star Trek
to enjoy, back when Captain Kirk and the Funky Bunch still had the best kung fu in the galaxy. Gimmie that on DVD any day.

Pro-Obama Media at War with Government over Iran (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Gil Ronen 08/13/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/158859#.UCnSwaEgeuk
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Israeli journalists who support U.S. President Barack Obama are waging a full-scale war against the government of Binyamin Netanyahu as Israel prepares to launch a preventive strike against Iran´s nuclear Holocaust program.
"I have been a journalist since 1957," said veteran writer Shlomo Nakdimon on Galei YIsrael Radio Monday morning, "and a reigning government has never been attacked this way." He accused the press of damaging the government´s ability to rule.
The accusation follows weeks in which Israel´s second-largest daily, Yediot Aharonot which also publishes the Ynet website and both of the commercial television stations, Channel 2 and 10, have been pummeling the Netanyahu government over its military plans.
Yediot Aharonot contended in its Friday issue that the plan to strike Iran is opposed by every single senior official in Israel defense establishment. Its writers and the analysts on Channel 2 and 10 portray Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak as men who are driven by "messianic" thinking to act against the advice of the entire security establishment, both present and past.
On the previous Friday, Yediot quoted unnamed sources in the Obama administration as saying that Saudi Arabia would shoot down Israeli jets en route to an Iran attack. Other "spins" launched by the newspaper recently are that the U.S. has presented to Israel detailed plans for its own Iran strike, which is supposed to take place in 2013, and that a strike on Iran would help get Obama reelected rather than hinder his reelection.
Naftali Bennet, who is running for the top spot in the Jewish Home party, wrote in a Facebook post Monday: "The press has fallen on its head national strength is required!"
"This is the first time in the history of the state of Israel that an orchestrated and thorough campaign is being waged against the right of the state of Israel to defend itself and this is being done from the inside," he wrote.
"A day does not go by without a headline that says: ´Israel is not ready for war´; ´Netanyahu will lead us to a disaster´; ´the home front is unprepared´, and more all in order to frighten the Israeli public into opposing Israeli measures against Iran´s nuclearization
"Friends, they are trying to portray Netanyahu as messianic, delusional, crazy, irresponsible. Based on personal acquaintance with him, let me state clearly: Netanyahu is taking care of the future of the nation of Israel in its land, responsibly.
"What do they think? That Netanyahu wants to send people to their deaths? That he yearns for missiles to fly into Tel Aviv? That I and people like me are excited about wearing uniforms again, saying goodbye to our families and fighting again?"
In the News1 website, founded by independent investigative journalist Yoav Yitzchak, pundit Itamar Levin has penned two articles attacking Yediot and Ynet as "traitors" and "liars," no less. Levin says Yediot reported that Barak held a meeting with the Mossad´s senior leaders in an attempt to convince them of the necessity of a strike on Iran, but failed to win them over. It later turned out that the meeting took place three years ago, but no apology or clarification was issued, Levin wrote.
Levin accused Yediot of endangering Israeli pilots by publishing the dates for a planned attack and the possible routes to be used by IAF jets. He explained that Yediot is motivated by commercial considerations, as it is fighting for its life in the face of the growing popularity of Israel Hayom the competing newspaper owned by pro-Netanyahu Sheldon Adelson.

President Obama says Mitt Romney has signed up for "extreme positions," and will follow through on them if he reaches the White House.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Obama also says that Romney's refusal to release more tax returns reflects an unwillingness to "take responsibility for what this job entails."
Obama also rejected media reports that he has a personal disdain for his Republican opponent.
"I don't really know him well," Obama said. "The big arguments that I have with Governor Romney have to do with where we take this country forward."
The interview was conducted Thursday (i.e., before Romney made his birth certificate joke).
Spokesman Ryan Williams issued this response from the Romney campaign:
"President Obama concedes that 'we aren't where we need to be.' Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan agree. The American people know they aren't better off than they were four years ago. President Obama has added trillions to our national debt, blocked domestic energy production, and presided over the highest chronic unemployment in recorded history. He promised to change how Washington works, but he admits the nation's capital is as broken as ever. He raided Medicare to pay for Obamacare and is proposing massive tax increases that will kill jobs and hurt our economy. Too many middle-class families are going to sleep each night worried about the future. This may be the best President Obama can do, but it's not the best America can do. The Romney-Ryan plan for a stronger middle class will jump start our economy and create 12 million new jobs – and most importantly, give Americans hope for a better future."
Also from the Associated Press:
Obama also offered a glimpse of how he would govern in a second term of divided government, insisting rosily that the forces of the election would help break Washington's stalemate. He said he would be willing to make a range of compromises with Republicans, confident there are some who would rather make deals than remain part of "one of the least productive Congresses in American history."
Mainly, Obama appeared intent on countering Romney ahead of the convention. In doing so, the president depicted his opponent as having accumulated ideas far outside the mainstream with no room to turn back.
"I can't speak to Governor Romney's motivations," Obama said. "What I can say is that he has signed up for positions, extreme positions, that are very consistent with positions that a number of House Republicans have taken. And whether he actually believes in those or not, I have no doubt that he would carry forward some of the things that he's talked about."
Obama spoke to the AP on Thursday before heading off to a long weekend with his family at Camp David, the secluded presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Ashton Kutcher Calls Out City Of Miami & Its "Ancient" Transportation Laws During His Appearance On Jimmy Kimmel
Aside from telling Charlie Sheen to shut the eff up, Ashton Kutcher passed by Jimmy Kimmel's show last night and mentioned one of his current investments by the name of UBER. A car-service app that has been taking over major metropolitans one by one. In short, the app connects commuters with drivers within their city for fast and convenient service.
If you haven't been up on Uber's quest to add Miami as one of its hub cities, then read this and read this. And you can also read this short little blog post that shows Uber trying their best to recruit Miami as one of its cities.
But basically, Miami has some real strict laws when it comes to taxis and car services that are at hand to basically protect the current taxi structure. And on the other hand, Uber is also known for some questionable legal disclaimers in case anything happens in your Uber-assisted ride. But just as recently as two weeks ago, things still got stalled in the UBER talks when it was blocked by two commissioners (again read here) – much to the frustration of Carlos Giminez who is pro-Uber.
With that said, Kutcher slammed Miami for its ancient ways in the clip below…

A WOMAN has admitted hitting her partner about the head with a portable television and tying its cord around his neck.
Preston Crown Court heard Joanne Dickinson hit out at her 32-year-old boyfriend after they had been drinking in her flat in Kipling Place, Great Harwood on August 27.
Prosecutors said the pair had been arguing before the late night Bank Holiday Monday attack.
Dickinson, 25, who was initially charged with attempted murder, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of section 18 wounding with intent, after picking up the television and striking her boyfriend several times around the head, the court heard.
Prosecutors said she then tied the chord of the Daewoo television around his neck.
Dickinson called for an ambulance shortly after 11.30pm.
Paramedics found him lying unconscious in a pool of blood on the bedroom floor, prosecutors said.
Police were then contacted by the ambulance service when the seriousness of the man's injuries became clear, the court heard.
The victim, who was left with 'several significant head injuries' was taken by ambulance to the Royal Blackburn Hospital, police said. He is said to be recovering at home.
Dickinson changed her plea to guilty on Monday, on what would have been the first day of her trial.
She was remanded in to custody until her sentencing at Preston Crown Court on April 25.

• Welcome back to Pittsburgh, Jose Bautista. The slugger will make his first appearance at PNC Park since being traded for backup C Robinzon Diaz on Aug. 25, 2008. Bautista has hit 176 homers with a .928 OPS since then. Diaz hasn't played in the majors since 2009.
• Brandon Morrow was wild in his last outing, issuing a career-high eight walks in 2 2⁄3 innings against the Red Sox. With his WHIP up to 1.57, Morrow might be running out of chances to stay in the Blue Jays' rotation. Left-handed hitters are batting .285 with a .743 OPS against Morrow. Righties and lefties are hitting a combined .257 off Morrow with runners on base.
