WILLIAMSBURG—Mixing tourists into a street-theater story called "Revolutionary City" increased CW's paid attendance to about 745,000, and a spokesman said attendance this year was up "slightly." It's a far cry from the late 1980s, when CW drew almost a million visitors, but "Revolutionary City" reinvigorated the museum's mission.
"The common view (is) that History is a series of immutable facts put on a granite stone somewhere that got broken into pieces. What this institution does for people is to introduce them to the idea that History is a conversation about who we are and about how we look at the past and how we got here," said White, the director of educational outreach.
There are other connections, such as a husband and wife talking about his decision to leave home and go to war, as well as blacks struggling with issues of freedom and equality.
"We tend not to say to them, 'Let's talk about today and work back.' We start in the past and help them make the connection to today," White said. "We don't want to be, in these days of polarization, to ever be perceived as taking one part of today's political conversation. We want to be the sponsor of that conversation. We want to be the open forum where people can come from their place and come to the table and have a conversation about those issues."
Colonial Williamsburg invented the living-history museum 70 years ago and remains the largest practitioner of the style. So while other history museums are investing in new computer kiosks, CW continues to invest money and time in people to act out "Revolutionary City" or demonstrate a cooper's (barrel maker's) work.
"There is a liability to that. When those people leave, it's like an encyclopedia has left us, and we have to start all over again. There is a risk in the kind of work we do," said Rex Ellis, vice president of the Historic Area.
Part of the reason that CW is pushing digital tools outside the Historic Area is so no screens and kiosks go up on Duke of Gloucester Street.
For example, the foundation has created a 3-D model of the first theater in Williamsburg, which no longer stands in real dimensions. Foundation staffers are considering a similar rendering of the whole town in 1776, so visitors could visit second floors of buildings that they can't see now.
"It's on-site and online. These technologies in some cases are stand-alone, and obviously, they are the experience - but in other cases, they're really enriching the experience of coming here," said James Horn, vice president for research and director of CW's John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library. "It's giving you perspectives you can't get in any other way. There's no other way of seeing Williamsburg in 1776 other than a real-time virtual environment."
McCluney said, "Williamsburg has always been a lot cleaner than the real Williamsburg would have been. We have way more trees now. It is more of a garden spot now than it was back then. The entire area around here was essentially clearcut. There were piles of slag and ashes and coals and manure all over the place. It was a working environment."
That's right: "Revolutionary City" might make visitors feel they are part of the authentic 1776, but it takes digital means to deliver the most accurate view of the town.
Colonial Williamsburg's digital push includes making its public Web site more than just the standard staff directory, photo gallery and MapQuest directions found on other historic-site Web pages.
Last year, www.history.org got 15.5 million visits, the most in one year since CW went online in 1996. The increase from 2005 hits was the biggest jump in visitation in the Web site's history, McCluney said. This year, the site is on track to get more than 20 million visits, McCluney said.
"A big chunk of the success really of the Web site is it is a living thing. It's an electronic publication. It's like a daily magazine. It's more than a newspaper but less than a television program, in terms of the media content," he said "It is fresh, current and appeals to many different audiences at many different levels."
There's a subscription service to schools, so they get a private space on the Web site. Podcasts targeting Gen X and Gen Y are featured on iTunes and feature conversations with intepreters in and out of character. Campbell's own grandson stumbled upon him on a podcast and realized for the first time what his grandfather did for a living.
Campbell has said he likes the interactive tools at new museums such as the Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati and the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. CW has done 118 podcasts since the first one in 2005. There's a new one each week and an average of 73,000 downloads of those podcasts each month, according to Robyn Eoff, director of the Internet for CW.
"This seems to be connecting to the Gen X and Gen Y group in a level of reality that's working for a big chunk of that audience," McCluney said.
"We're not just putting up some information and saying, 'Here's some information.' We're really trying to make media that reaches the audience where the audience happens to be."

|Under The Influence: Exposing undue Corporate Policy Influence over Policy Making at the WTO
This report shows how the EU and US continue to claim they are acting in the interests of poor countries in the 'development' round of trade negotiations, and how the reality was very different - with key proposals for the reform of multinational power within the WTO.
Action Aid, January 2006
Multinational companies have an undue influence over the making of global trade rules at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Big business lobbyists have privileged access to government policymakers and use it to push trade agreements that undermine the fight against poverty.
This report highlights many examples of privileged corporate access to, and excessive influence over, the WTO policy-making process. It argues that governments must take urgent action to curb corporate influence in the WTO and put the rights of poor people before the profits of multinationals in the current round of global trade talks.

'Like Crazy' Trailer and Poster; Anton Yelchin & Felicity Jones In Must See Sundance Darling
Posted on Monday, August 1st, 2011 by Germain Lussier
Like Crazy, a beautiful, heartbreaking story of long distance love came out of Sundance like a bullet, with incredible buzz, a Grand Jury Prize, a distributor and more. But as is the case with an obvious awards contender like this, it laid dormant for a few months, waiting for the right time to reemerge and take Hollywood to task for so many soulless, summer blockbusters.
Paramount Vantage has now released the first trailer for Drake Doremus' film which stars Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones (who herself won a Best Acting award at Sundance) as college lovers who face the inevitably of graduation and a literal ocean apart. It's scheduled for release on October 28 but check out the trailer and poster after the jump. Read More »

The Atlanta Hawks 2013-14 schedule was released Tuesday, along with the other 29 team schedules.
The Hawks will open up the season on Wednesday October 30 in Dallas against the Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. This is an intriguing game to open the season as Devin Harris will play his first game as a Maverick against his former Hawks team. The same goes for Elton Brand, now a Hawk, who will be traveling back to Dallas where he played last season.
The home opener in Atlanta will come up just two days later when the Hawks host Rudy Gay and the Toronto Raptors on Friday November 1st at 7:30 p.m.
The regular-season consists of 82 games, 41 at home and 41 on the road. The Hawks will face each Eastern Conference opponent four times, twice at home and twice on the road, and each Western Conference opponent twice, once at home and once on the road.
However, there are exceptions with East teams Brooklyn, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Philadelphia. The Hawks will face the Nets in one "home" game in London and play two in Brooklyn. They'll have two games against the Cavaliers in Philips Arena and only one back in Ohio. They'll host one game against the Bucks but will have to play two in Milwaukee, including the season finale on April 16, and they'll be at home for two games against the 76ers while only playing one game in Philly.
JOSH SMITH ALERT!!!! November 20th will mark the return of one of the most polarizing athletes in Atlanta Hawks history. On this night J-Smoove will make his first trip back to Phillips Arena as a member of the Detroit Pistons after spending his entire nine-year career as the face of the Hawks franchise. It will be interesting to see the response Smith gets as the Atlanta fan base seemed to either love him or hate him. He was booed on several occasions in his own building by his own fans! What will the crowd sound like as he takes the floor in Piston blue and red??? After Smith's first trip back to the ATL, the Hawks return the favor with a reunion in Detroit two days later.
December 2nd will be a great game to watch as the student takes on the teacher with new Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer making the trip back to San Antonio to see old friend Gregg Popovich. Coach Bud served as assistant on the Spurs for 19 seasons. This will be his first trip back as an opposing coach.
Atlanta's longest home-stand of the season will be from December 4-13 when they host the Clippers, Cavaliers, Thunder and Wizards, respectively.
December 20th could be a sleeper game as the the Utah Jazz roll in to the ATL. Utah will bring former Hawks forward Marvin Williams to town and take on former Jazz players Paul Millsap and DeMarre Carroll. Carroll ended up beating out Williams for small forward minutes in Utah last season, and this game could end up making them compete against each other even harder on the floor.
The Hawks will see LeBron James and the two-time champion Heat for the first time on December 23rd in Miami.
January will be an interesting month, most notably for the London game against the Brooklyn Nets on the 16th. After that, the Heat come to Atlanta for the first time on the 20th (Martin Luther King Jr, holiday game), then the Spurs visit on the 24th, and then Josh Smith and the Pistons will return for the second time on the 29th.
The Hawks' longest roadtrip will be a stretch of six games over a 12-day span beginning February 26 in Boston. Then they'll head west for the next five games, making stops in Phoenix, Portland, Oakland (Golden State Warriors) and Los Angeles (Clippers) before wrapping up in Utah on March 10.
Aside from the five-game west coast trip to start March, the highlight of the month will be on the 13th with the return of former head coach Larry Drew and fan favorite Zaza Pachulia who are now both with the Milwaukee Bucks.
April starts the final month of the season, along with the race for playoff seeding. It will be no easy task for the Hawks who will see Chicago on the 2nd, Cleveland on the 4th, Indiana on the 6th, Boston on the 9th, Brooklyn on the 11th and Miami on the 12th. The final game of the season (April 16) could be a thriller when the Hawks travel to Milwaukee to play the Bucks, who seem to be a team that will be fighting for the 8th seed.
The Hawks will appear on six national broadcasts with three being televised on ESPN and the other three on NBA TV. The games televised on ESPN will be versus the Knicks (Nov. 13th), at Portland (March 5th), and at Milwaukee (April 16th). The games televised on NBA TV will all be home games versus Brooklyn (Jan. 16th in London), the Knicks (Feb. 22nd ), and the Nuggets (March 15th).
With the exception of the games against the Knicks on ESPN (Nov. 13th), Brooklyn (in London on Jan 16th), and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday game against the Heat (Jan. 20th), all home games in Atlanta will start at 7:30 p.m.
Every Hawks game will be aired live on the radio flagship station, SportsRadio 92.9 The Game, with Steve Holman, aka The Voice of the Hawks, calling the action.
No one is ever happy with their full schedule so I'm not going to say it's good or bad. I only wish — for once — that the Hawks could get a Christmas day game. Christmas is the day the NBA shines the brightest. Maybe one day in the not so distant future we can see that happen. I'll settle for the game in London though. This will be an opportunity to gain great exposure overseas, especially since Al Horford is already over there recruiting new Hawks fans to attend the game.
One thing is for sure, it's going to be another fun season of Hawks basketball. I can't wait to see our new coach, new system, new free agents, new draft picks, an international game, and another run to the playoffs. It will be here before we know it!
Stay tuned for when we dish out our hand-picked list of the top 10 most anticipated games of the season.

Nightmare End For Devils As Kings Earn Their Crown With Game 6 Rout

Never-Say-Die Devils Believing They Can Pull Off The (Nearly) Impossible

Theater People Can Be Tedious
About 30 minutes into the 90
minutes of A Life in the Theatre—David
Mamet's comic look at two actors over the course of several appearances in
plays together—I turned to my companion and whispered, "Who are they, the
Lunts?" Mamet's characters seem to be perpetually performing together, like the
fabled husband-and-wife team of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. About 10 minutes
afterward, I finally soothed myself by deciding that these were simply
performers at a prestigious regional theater. There was just no other way I
could continue to watch the show.
A two-hander that feels far
slighter than it should on a Broadway stage (one assumes that the decision to
mount it on the Great White Way is a direct result of casting Patrick Stewart
as aging, hammy actor Robert), A Life in
the Theatre is a very funny, mildly disjointed affair that washes the taste
of Mamet's Race right out of
theater-goers' mouths. Over the course of multiple scenes and several punishing
costume changes, Robert and his younger co-star John (my Playbill swears that
T.R. Knight plays John, but only his fabulous costumes, from Laura Bauer, left
an impression) fawn over one another, fight, argue, rehearse, gossip and
somehow always manage to wreak havoc during their performances.
That's the other problem
with A Life in the Theatre: These two
are truly bad actors. John is an over-emphatic disaster in the brief glimpse of
a war drama we're treated to; Robert is constantly fumbling over props and
wigs. There's no way either of them could possibly remain employed as
consistently as they seem to be, and yet there they are, now in a Russian
melodrama, then in a drawing room drama. The design team has done a superlative
job of conjuring up a dozen different plays, plus various backstage spaces (the
sight of Stewart, freshly sore from attempting to plié at the barre, glowering at Knight's limberness is a wicked
delight); director Neil Pepe, who gave us the best Mamet revival in recent
years with Speed-the-Plow, keeps the
show going at a crisp pace; and Stewart—almost too sexy for the role—is so
adept at conjuring up onstage mayhem that the wispy, one-joke play starts to
feel like a less ambitious Noises Off!.
But then Mamet turns maudlin about the theater, and the show starts to feel
like a slog.
Stewart and Knight do their best with the slower passages, but there's only so
much life they can inject into extended segment involving John desperately
wanting to recite lines to an empty theater while Robert, lonely in his
dedication to the theater, jabbers at him from the wings. But Mamet's obvious
affection for the foibles and fables of theater people (along with Stewart's
and Knight's) still shines through, even as the situations he creates are
increasingly implausible. A life in the theater, as messy and heartbreaking as
it can be, is still magical enough to draw hundreds of hungry hopefuls to New
York City each year. And though it may not have been Mamet's intention, what A Life in the Theatre proves is that if
these two characters can eke out a living doing it, so can those unknowns.

"We try to fly all colors," said Collura.

JERUSALEM (AP) - After feverishly trying to derail the international community's nuclear deal with Iran in recent weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now has little choice but to accept an agreement that he has derided as deeply flawed.
Netanyahu believes the six-month deal leaves Iran's military nuclear capabilities largely intact, while giving Iran relief from painful economic sanctions, undermining negotiations on the next stage. At the same time, Israel's strongest piece of leverage, the threat of a military strike on Iran, seems to be out of the question despite Netanyahu's insistence it would remain on the table.

SF Bay Area: there's a new vegan ice cream! »
Reader Katie (of the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition!) reports about new ice cream (and ice cream sandwiches!) that are sweeping the vegan scene by storm. I can't vouch for them but I totally trust Katie because girl knows what's up so let's see what she thinks:
At the Montclair Village farmers' market this past Sunday, I was perusing the stalls when I came across an aesthetically-adorable ice cream booth, Green Girl BakeShop. I stopped to admire their ice cream sandwiches, steeling myself for the disappointment of not being able to eat any, when I saw the "no dairy" sign! It turns out all of their ice creams and ice cream cookie sandwiches are vegan! The ice creams are cashew and coconut based. I sampled the toasted pecan, and the balsamic fig. To me, toasted pecan ice cream is just like donuts; I was never that crazy about them before I was vegan, but as soon as I couldn't have them anymore I craved them. The toasted pecans were so delicious and slightly carmelized tasting. The ice cream itself definitely has a cashew-y flavor, which I enjoyed. I couldn't really taste the balsamic fig very well because my mouth was still full of toasted pecan. Unfortunately, since it was 10 in the morning I couldn't justify buying a full ice cream sandwich, so I didn't get to taste the cookie. Anyway, their products are adorable.
They're at the Montclair and Lafayette farmers' markets, so have at it everyone and come back and tell us what you think immediately!

Guys, I found the best unexpectedly awesome restaurant this week! It's in Colorado, so I know most of don't give a shit, but I want everyone in Colorado to come here and make sure it stays open forever. Plus, it's in a strip mall in the suburbs, so we can have a universal discussion about that.
The place is called Krishna Kafe, and it's in possibly the most run-down shopping center I've been to (the pothole-to-pavement ratio in the driveway to the parking lot is off the charts), about 15 minutes outside of Boulder in a hit-and-run town called Lafayette. According to my friend who just moved there, it's where all the people who can't afford to live in Boulder live, so it kind of makes sense that there's a big immigrant community, and that some of those immigrants might open restaurants, and that those restaurants might be orgasmically good.
The place serves chaat-style street food, and in my opinion is approximately 7.5 times better than Vik's Chaat Corner in Berkeley. My vegan husband and I showed up with our gluten-free friend, and the owner had his wife come out to talk to us and help us order. She was really knowledgeable and accommodating, and suggested dishes we all could eat.
I'm usually really opinionated about my food, but I honestly couldn't choose which of the three I liked more—they were are richly spiced without being mouth-burning, had an interesting blend of textures, and just SO GOOD. The Indian grocery next door is just an extra perk, too. And it's cheap!
If you live on the Front Range, make a trip here. For reals. If you ever come to Colorado for skiing and hiking and stuff, and want cheap food and don't mind wandering out of your way, also come here.
What are you favorite amazing restaurants in random run-down strip malls?

Patxi's Chicago Pizza is opening in the Inner Sunset! »
So many incredible and amazing things come out of Chicago. Top 5: The Handlebar, Sultan's Market, Mercy for Animals, me (I'm actually from the Bay Area, but I lived there for three years) and CHICAGO-STYLE PIZZA! I had it a few times before I went vegan, and man, is it decadent (by which I mean super, amazingly delicious)! Now that I live in San Francisco, I no longer have to go without, because everything is veganized here!
Although I haven't eaten at Patxi's Chicago Pizza yet, that my friends, is about to change. They are opening up a new location in the Inner Sunset! That's almost right by my apartment! I can get some exercise walking over there before I gorge on a 5,000-calorie pizza (junk food is junk food—actually I'm TOTALLY in denial about that. The onion rings I just devoured were HELLA HEALTHY. My body is a temple and it is just thriving!).
Patxi's is opening its fourth location late this summer/possibly fall, at Ninth Avenue and Irving Street. My apartment JUST SO happens to be conveniently located between Escape From New York and the future Patxi's. I can get my daily serving of fruits and vegetables from pizza alone, can't I? Yes? Goodbye outside world, I'm only leaving the house to eat pizza. Or pay the delivery guy. Or go to work to pay for said pizza. Actually, this is beginning to sound like the life I currently lead.
While trying to find vegan Chicago-style pizza IN Chicago, I stumbled upon this recipe from Quarrygirl. FUCK YES.
Patxi's will be located at 822 Irving St. and its first East Bay location will open June 15 in Lafayette, at 3577 Mt. Diablo Blvd.! Lafayette?
OMG, how could I forget about OLD STYLE??? I wonder if Patxi's can get a hold of this delicious beverage for the complete Chicago experience?

Minimap MapReduce Algorithms - Paper
Abstract of the paper authored by a team from universities in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore:
MapReduce has become a dominant parallel computing paradigm for big data, i.e., colossal datasets at the scale of tera-bytes or higher. Ideally, a MapReduce system should achieve a high degree of load balancing among the participating machines, and minimize the space usage, CPU and I/O time, and network transfer at each machine. Although these principles have guided the development of MapReduce algorithms, limited emphasis has been placed on enforcing serious constraints on the aforementioned metrics simultaneously. This paper presents the notion of minimal algorithm, that is, an algorithm that guarantees the best parallelization in multiple aspects at the same time, up to a small constant factor. We show the existence of elegant minimal algorithms for a set of fundamental database problems, and demonstrate their excellent performance with extensive experiments.
Start with the definition of the minimal MapReduce algorithms and you'll find yourself diving into the paper (even if the proof parts are complex).

Watch Madame Bovary: In nineteenth-century France, the romantic daughter of a country squire (Emma Rouault) marries a dull country doctor (Charles Bovary). To escape boredom, she throws herself into love affairs with a suave local landowner (Rodolphe Boulanger) and a law student (Leon Dupuis), and runs up ruinous debts. This film version closely follows Flaubert's novel and includes most of the famous scenes, such as the wedding, the ball, the agricultural fair, the operation on the clubfoot, and the opera in Rouen.

"Abbott's war on the rest of us.." [#geekgirl]
What [Abbott Has] already done
- Increased the unemployment rate
- Suspended the Wage Connect program, despite it being proven to deliver good outcomes for unemployed people
- Cut funding from Operation Newstart, an early intervention program for vulnerable youths
- Axed funding to the Alcohol and Other Drugs Council of Australia
- Converted Start-Up Scholarships into loans, increasing the debt of 80,000 higher education students by $1.2 billion
- Abolished the National Housing Supply Council, which provided data and expert advice on housing demand, supply and affordability
- Abolished the Advisory Panel on Positive Ageing, established to help address the challenges the country faces as the number of older Australians grows
- Scrapped the Social Inclusion Board, which had been established to guide policy on the reduction of poverty in Australia
- Scrapped the Home Energy Saver Scheme which helped struggling low income households cut their electricity bills
- Cut funding to Indigenous domestic violence support services
- Completely defunded the National indigenous legal service
- Abolished the position of co-ordinator-general for remote indigenous services
- Abolished the National Office for Live Music along with the live music ambassadors
- Increased private health premiums
- Cut funding to public hospitals by half a billion dollars
- Taken away promised pay increases to childcare workers
- Taken away promised pay increases to aged care workers
- Repealed pokie reform legislation that combatted problem gambling
- Reduced tax breaks for small business
What he'll probably do soon
- Cut penalty rates
- Extend working hours for public servants
- Abolish the Income Support Bonus that helps one million low paid families across the country
- Axe Medicare Locals, the bodies were set up under the Rudd government to run community-designed health care programs
- Raise the pension age
- Make cuts to the Disability Support Pension
- Introduce a Medicare co-payment for GP visits
- Introduce a fee to visit hospital emergency rooms
- Increase costs on medicines when the TPP comes in
Yet in all of this talk about 'austerity politics', I'm yet to hear a single politician suggest pay-cuts for politicians or a reduction in their pensions. Funny, that…
And no need for any of it…
The crazy thing about all of the above, is that there's simply no need for it. Our politicians are talking about austerity, and Joe Hockey says we all have to help with the heavy lifting, but we have one of the healthiest economies in the world.
We have very low debt… It's been consistently low and isn't spiralling out of control… And our ability to service that debt is good… In fact, Independent Australia ranks our economy as the best in the world…"

"The parliament tonight is in chaos…" [#geekgirl]
[From The Australian Independent Media Network] " 'The parliament tonight is in chaos.' Tony Burke
And with those words Tony Burke (Watson, NSW), the Manager of Opposition Business said what many were thinking.
That comment came at 10:27 Tuesday 10 December, when the Government used their numbers to gag debate, silence dissent and ram through legislation.
We currently have a completely incompetent government which is trying to tell us that "no" means "yes", and this is damaging to our democracy.
The following exchange came barely 10 minutes after Mr Burke declared the parliament was in chaos. It is blatant example of the Speaker (Liberal MP, Bronwyn Bishop), changing reality to benefit the Government, of which she is a member.

|February 5, 1965
Rockledge, Florida
|July 6, 1983 (aged 18)
|Missing for 30 years, 5 months and 13 days
|Former child/teen actress and model
Tammy Lynn Leppert (born February 5, 1965 in Rockledge, Florida) is a former American child & teen model, actress and beauty queen who has been missing since July 6, 1983, vanishing at the age of 18.
Just prior to her vanishing she appeared in Scarface as the girl who was a distraction at the lookout car, during the bloody chainsaw shower scene. Prior to that, among other minor roles, she had been in the teen movie Spring Break where she had a role as a participant in a boxing match and her hips used in the movie poster. It is claimed she had plans to go to Hollywood around 1983.[1]
It has been theorized that Leppert could be a victim of the "beauty queen killer" Christopher Wilder, who searched for victims in the Florida area around the time of her disappearance. Leppert's family filed a $1 million lawsuit against Wilder before his death, but dropped the suit afterwards. Her mother, modeling agent Linda Curtis, later stated that she never believed Wilder was involved in Leppert's disappearance. Police were never able to link Wilder and Leppert and as far as is known he did not begin his major killing spree until some time after she had vanished. [2][3]
According to a segment on the case aired on Unsolved Mysteries,[4] Leppert had been displaying erratic behavior for some time prior to her disappearance, eventually breaking down during filming of Scarface because she felt threatened by something or someone, according to others in the production.
According to Unsolved Mysteries, Leppert mentioned money laundering during her paranoid episode on the set of Scarface; the show noted that federal investigators were looking into several money laundering schemes in Florida at the time, but that no evidence tying them to Leppert has been uncovered.
It was claimed that a woman later called the police to tell them Leppert was "doing what she always wanted to do, going to school to become a nurse," though Curtis denied her daughter would do this, claiming Leppert was afraid of blood.[5]

Strategic sourcing: Pennywise but pound foolish?
Some small businesses are calling into question the benefits of the Obama administration's strategic sourcing initiative. They say the agencies are mandating the use of the office supplies BPA and putting more than 500 Schedule 75 holders at risk of losing their business. GSA, which runs Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI), said there still are plenty of sales to go around as the BPA accounts for less than half of the $1.4 billion office supplies market.

Live Ants In The Brain Hoax

Email warning claims that people have died after ants have entered their skulls by way of the ears and began eating their brains (
Full commentary below
(Submitted, May 2008)
Never ever i thought that ants can be sooooooooooooooo dangerous...
Please read this and advise your friends and family! You may save others' lives!
Incident One:
A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently this boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff beside him. Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his ear which somehow managed to go to his brain.
When he woke up, he did not realize that ants had gone to his head. After that, he constantly complained about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to a doctor, but the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an X-ray of the boy and to his horror, he found a group of live ants in his skull. Since the ants were still alive, the doctor could not operate on him because the ants were constantly moving around. The boy finally died. So please be careful when leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might attract ants.
Most importantly, NEVER you or your child eat sweets before going to bed. You or your child might attract ants while you are asleep.
Incident Two:
Another similar incident happened in a hospital in Taiwan.
This man was warded in the hospital and was constantly warned by the nurses not to leave food stuff by his bedside because there were ants about. He did not heed their advice. Ants finally got to him. His family members said that the man constantly complained about headaches. He died and a post mortem or autopsy was done on him. Doctors found a group of live ants in his head. Apparently, the ants had been eating bits of his brain. So friends, better be safe than sorry. Never leave food stuff beside your bed you when you go to sleep. Please forward this to your friends and relatives.
According to this horrific little story, there have been cases in which ants have made their way into human skulls by way of the ears and subsequently lived inside the brains, eating brain tissue, until their victims finally succumbed. The message warns that people should never eat in bed or leave sweets or other foods near their beds at night, lest ants be attracted and then use their ears as a passageway to their brains.
©iStockphoto.com/Tomasz Zachariasz
The claim that ants can invade and eat a living human brain via the ears is entirely untrue
However, the story is no more than a more recent incarnation of an old
urban legend
that goes back centuries. Ants, or other insects, cannot make their way into a living human brain via the ears, nor would it be possible for them to actually stay alive in the brain even if they could. The aural system and the brain itself has a number of defence mechanisms and physical properties that make such an invasion impossible. Glands in the outer ear produce ear wax that, along with tiny hairs, helps to provide protection against insects and other foreign bodies. Entrance to the middle ear is protecting by the eardrum, which consists of three thin layers of living tissue. And, even if ants could make their way through the outer and middle ears, their journey would then be severely hampered by three fluid-filled chambers that make up the cochlea, in the inner ear. Thus, to even get to the threshold of the brain itself the ants would need to battle through the outer ear, chew through the ear drum and then somehow enter the cochlea and actually swim through its fluid-filled chambers.
Moreover, in the vastly unlikely event that the ants actually made it alive and well all the way through the inner ear, and then through the auditory nerve to the brain, they would then be confronted by the brain's own protection systems. At some point, the ants would have to make their way through the dura mater, a tough membrane that is the first of three membranes (meninges) that cover the brain and spinal cord. And the brain is further protected by a liquid called the cerebrospinal fluid. In short, there is no way that an ant could survive inside a human brain.
Thus it is totally absurd to suggest that ants could not only make their way right into a living brain, but actually stay alive and hungry once ensconced therein. This simply cannot and will not happen.
Another absurd aspect of the warning message is that it suggests that people could actually sleep through the brain invasion described. Insects can and do find their way into human ears, usually by accident. Normally, no long term damage is caused by such incursions. However, as anyone who has had an insect in their ear can testify, such an event is extremely unpleasant. The feeling of the insect moving around makes one's flesh crawl, and the sound generated by the tiny creatures seems very loud indeed. It is therefore very doubtful that even the deepest sleeper would not wake up and subsequently deal with the invasion if ants entered his or her ear.
Given that ants are one of the most common kinds of insect, if such invasions were possible, there would be many such cases reported all around the world. The potential hazard would be well known to the medical profession and widely reported in medical literature and the media. But, even after extensive research, I could not find even one credible documented case of such a brain infestation.
It is important that people receive reliable and factual health related information, so forwarding on errant nonsense such as this serves no good purpose. If you receive this bogus warning message, do not forward it to others and please inform the sender that the information it contains is untrue.
