Created and scripted by one writer, novelist Nic Pizzolatto, with all eight episodes of its first season directed by a single filmmaker, Cary Fukunaga ("Sin Nombre"), HBO's new series "True Detective" has as much in common with a high profile movie as a television drama in terms of concentrated creative vision. And it has for its leads two honest-to-god movie stars -- Woody Harrelson, who began his career on the small screen, and Matthew McConaughey, in his first regular TV role -- as Martin Hart and Rust Cohle, a pair of detectives tracking down a serial killer in south Louisiana. The series, which premieres this Sunday, January 12 at 10pm, will run as a self-contained story, with any future seasons starting over with new characters and a new but thematically similar plot, anthology-style.
"True Detective" is, in other words, filled with all kinds of overt signals of quality, but halfway through its first episode I wondered, with a sinking heart, if it wasn't what Grantland's Andy Greenwald has described as "prestige simulacra" -- those shows that have the grit, grown-up themes and gradual pacing of TV's most respected dramas without any of the qualities that make them so good.
The series begins with apparent self-seriousness -- the first episode carries the title "The Long Bright Dark" -- and while at its heart is a mystery that's introduced by way of a ritualistic murder, that scaffolding props up a lot of early scenes of grandiloquent discussion and voiceover, much of it from McConaughey's Cohle, who does not come across as the kind of guy who'd be fun at parties. "We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self," he dolefully explains of humanity to Hart, who's not especially pleased with the new partner he's been saddled with, adding when asked about why he doesn't just off himself that "I lack the constitution for suicide." They travel out to the scene of the crime, which, while striking, also resembles the many other gruesomely staged death scenes that regularly pepper primetime programming.
Cohle is a strange one, a humorless type living alone in an unfurnished studio and sleeping on a mattress on the ground underneath a crucifix (though he's not religious) and next to a pile of criminology books -- but he seems to be very good at what he does, a yin to the more traditional Hart's yang. The two initially look like the latest variation on a typical crime-solving screen pairing, the brilliant but eccentric obsessive with no life and the more stable, less imaginative one who's better with people, fellow cops and family.
But like the rest of "True Detective," those initial impressions turn out to be not just oversimplifications but deceptive. By the end of the three episodes I was given, Hart wasn't looking like any more reliable a subject than his partner, and Cohle's behavior was a lot more understandable than offputting. And by that point "True Detective" was a far more interesting, more hallucinatory and better show that's as much about storytelling as about a monstrous figure lurking out in the cane fields who killed a girl named Dora Lange, blindfolded her and left her out in the open with a crown of antlers on her head.
"You know the job -- you're looking for narrative," Hart explains. "Interrogate witnesses, parse a little evidence, establish a timeline, build a story, day after day." The series demands we do the same in figuring out Cohle and Hart, what they think of each other and what happened to them by straddling two points in time -- 1995, when the first murder is being investigated, and 2012, when the men, both older and very different, are being interrogated by two detectives played by Tory Kittles and Michael Potts about everything that happened because a recent development has suggested the case might not be closed.
How Cohle goes from clean-cut and dead-eyed in 1995 to a bedraggled but amused alcoholic in 2012, why Hart's no longer a cop and what happened between them become as pressing as the identity and motive of the murderer. More so, really, as the case proceeds with the woozy deliberateness of a drunk trying to walk a straight line, sending the detectives out to burnt out church in the middle of nowhere or the parking lots of boarded-up strip malls.
Their process is intercut with scenes from 2012, but also more and more scenes of the two men in their off hours, as we meet Hart's wife Maggie (Michelle Monaghan) and what Cohle does during his bouts of insomnia. Cinematographer Adam Arkapaw's ("Top of the Lake," "Animal Kingdom") camera glides after the men and occasionally holding on details that they don't, like an observer with an opinion of its own.
Pizzolatto's only other screen credits are for two episodes of "The Killing," but if there's another show "True Detective" brings to my mind, it would be "Carnivàle," with its Depression-wrecked American landscape and signs and portents of apocalypse around every corner. There's no magic in "True Detective," at least not as far as I've seen, but there are traces of mysticism as well as literal visions unfolding spectacularly in the sky, the phantasmagoric qualities of the past contrasting with the florescent-lit realities of the present.
The roles play to Harrelson and McConaughey's strengths, the former's more obviously than the latter, though Cohle's the more intriguing character, McConaughey's slightly drawn handsomeness contrasting with how hollowed out the character seems, the kind of person who has to remember how to make conversation, for whom its an effort.
Is "True Detective" the next great TV drama? Three episodes is too little to tell, but it has all the elements to e something eerie and excellent, starting with a familiar formula and then circling out further and further into unusual territory until it seems like something thrillingly uncertain, not far from home and yet like no place you've ever seen.

Gays to demonstrate against Human Rights Campaign
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I have participated in every major and virtually every minor human rights campaign of my lifetime during the past half century. I am a veteran of anti-war, civil rights, feminist, disability rights, GLBT, United Farmworkers, American Indian and many other movements.
By many in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community The Human Rights Campain Fund has been characterized as The Human Rights "Champagne" Fund. A nomer not entirely unjustified in my humble opinion as one who has often been a lone voice in raising issues of class, race, ethnic, gender, identification, disability age & other discriminations which exist within the GLBT community.
I have been active in GLBT Movement since before the "Stonewall
Rebellion" and participated in the riots and demonstrations which took place during aftermath at Greenwich Village in my hometown.
Prior to Stonewall, I co-authored the first publication on Gay rights for the American Civil Liberties Union at a time when the ACLU was uncertain still about its own position on GLBT liberty.
While still an undergraduate student at Queens College of the City University of New York, I enrolled in two of the first four college
courses explicit on homosexuality taught in America. For teaching said courses, my instructor was fired. Unsuccessful was protest
I led against his termination — one of few political battles lost by myself in a lifetime dedicated to the cause of human rights.
Along with late Thomas B. Stoddard, my New York University School
of Law classmate and friend, I co-founded Senior Action in a Gay Environment — the first elder GLBT organization in America.
I co-founded a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender organization with United States General Accounting Office prior to establishment
of Federal Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Employees number of years later.
I have testified about GLBT rights in general as well as against sodomy laws and in favor of same sex marriage before many municipal
governments. I have spoken also about bias and prejudice within the GLBT community at numerous summits on sexual minority rights.
From the founding of Human Rights Campaign, I have never found HRC to be a particularly representative organization within the sexual minority community. Furthermore, I think the record will show that
HRC has been singularly unsuccessful even with respect to its own self-defined mission as GLBT political lobbying & action committee.
The time is long past for the sexual minority community to re-examine not only the role to be played by HRC in the present, but whether this organization should continue to exist in the future!
I was only male — Board Member, Staff Member or Staff Volunteer
to support a dozen women in the successful effort to rename NGLTF the National Gay AND LESBIAN Task Force as well as to change the organization charter for the purpose of allowing service by a woman as the sole (as opposed to co-) executive director.
Timothy McSweeney, my friend and fellow National Gay and Lesbian Task Force volunteer, would ultimately leave his postion at the Task Force to become the first executive director of the Gay Men's Health Crisis — the first Gay HIV/AIDS organization in America. Subsequently, I divided my volunteer time between NGLTF and GMHC.
Was going to comment but it got lost .
I was faced with an wholly indecipherable capcha
[N.B. Pandagon has utterly given up on same]
[Just commented that anything which would support Lieberman sux.
I suspect they're an ADL off-shoot…thus AIPAC~ish outfit.
VERY suspect.]
I can say for sure that HRC are refusing to help reunited my family. For more information about our case goes to : http://www.reunitethisfamily.com

How'd you get started cycling?
I was going to title the post "How did you get your big fat butt cycling?", but thought it might not be that clear of a title. LOL
Might be interesting for those of us Clyde/Athena types to share our stories of what brought us to cycling. I'm thinking our stories might be a bit different than your average cyclist as many of ours are probably related to weight loss.
What got you interested in cycling? Was it to lose weight? What was the catalyst? What made you decide this was the sport/exercise for you?
My story:
Oct 2003. I watched my mom die from a gastric bypass surgery which was necessary for her to continue with any kind of a quality of life. She never recovered from the surgery and died in ICU. The last thing she said to me while going in for the surgery was "You should consider surgery Chris".
I was probably at my biggest at that point (maybe 375-380 pounds) and 400 was always that scary number I was afraid to hit. After her experience with the surgery, I decided that was NOT the way to go for me. I was not beyond help yet....and I thought that was the last effort when you were too big to even exercise or do anything to help lose weight.
Anyway......as I said, I decided I needed to lose weight the natural way. I had tried the gym before and not liked it. I wasn't sure what to do...was still "thinking" about it. Then one day a friend of min, a lady 20+ years older than me (in her 50s) came up with an idea that we should go to the trail and rent some bikes that weekend and go for a bike ride. Sounded like a fun idea....I hadn't ridden a bike in 10 years or more at that point.
We rented bikes and she was so slow on it, I was having trouble riding slow enough to stay with her. She finally gave me the "OK" to go on...she'd be fine. So I started riding...and riding. At one point it seemed the trail ended (later found it picked up on other side of road, but I missed that), so I turned around and went back to bike shop. We looked at a trail map and figured that I had gone about 14 miles. I was soooooo impressed with myself. I never thought I'd get more than 3 or 4 miles.
Anyway.....that started my love affair. I was looking for a bike soon after (so was my friend). She had done some research on Consumer Reports and learned to get a bike shop bike and not a Wal-Mart bike. We went separately, but ironically ended up buying the same bike (Trek Navigator 300 - Comfort Bike).
Well, she stopped biking very quickly and became a "once every 3 months" cyclist. I started riding on my own but found it hard. I was typically only riding 4-6 miles. Until I moved over closer to work and found friends at work to bike with. That's when I started getting a bit more serious about it.
Now, 3 years later, I'm down about 50-60 pounds (did that in 1 year....and been hovering in same area...need to get serious on the weight loss part again) and still riding.
What's your story? How'd you get into cycling?

The antenna cannot be shortened, but can be removed. When you need to remove the antenna, turn the antenna rod counterclockwise. To install the antenna rod, turn the antenna clockwise. Tighten the antenna rod to specification using a suitable tool such as an open-end wrench. The antenna rod tightening specification is 3.4 - 3.6 Nm (30 - 32 in-lb). Do not use pliers to tighten the antenna as they can leave marks on the antenna surface. The antenna rod cannot be hand tightened to the proper specification.
When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe the following cautions, otherwise the new equipment may adversely affect the MFI (Multiport Fuel Injection) system and other electronic parts.
Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator position. Drive at moderate speeds on the highway. Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy. Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a safe distance behind other vehicles. Use a proper gear range which suits road conditions. On level roads, shift into high gear as soon as possible. Avoid unnecessary engine idling. Keep your engine tuned up. Follow the recommended periodic maintenance schedule. Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy. Keep the front wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy. Air conditioner operation lowers fuel economy. Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance. Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear. Avoid quick starts. Avoid hard braking as much as possible. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles (800 km). Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
Starting and driving 5-21
When cruising at highway speeds, it is more economical to use the air conditioner and leave the windows closed to reduce drag. Use 4H or 4L position only when necessary. Four-wheel drive operation lowers fuel economy.
Do not leave the transfer control lever in the N (Neutral) position. Otherwise, the vehicle could roll unexpectedly even if the manual transmission is in any gear or the automatic transmission is in the P (Park) position. This could result in serious personal injury or property damage. Failure to engage the transfer control lever in 2H, 4H or 4L could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, which could cause serious personal injury or property damage.
To move the transfer case lever: : Push down on the lever to shift : Shift without pushing down on the lever
Do not drive on dry hard surface roads in four-wheel drive. Driving on dry hard surfaces in 4H or 4L may cause unnecessary noise, tire wear, and increased fuel consumption. NISSAN recommends driving in the 2H position under these conditions. 2H (2WD, high range) Only the rear wheels are driven. Use for driving under the same conditions as standard 2WD vehicles or state dynamometer I/M testing. 4H (4WD, high range) Four wheels are driven. Use when driving on roads where it is difficult to
Wet ice (32F, 0C and freezing rain), very cold snow or ice can be slick and very hard to drive on. The vehicle will have much less traction or grip under these conditions. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted or sanded. Whatever the condition, drive with caution. Accelerate and slow down with care. If accelerating or downshifting too fast, the drive wheels will lose even more traction.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so equipped)
An engine block heater to assist in extreme cold temperature starting is available through a NISSAN dealer.

FIRST AID KIT (if so equipped)
FLAT TIRE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The low tire pressure warning system monitors tire pressure of all tires (except the spare tire). If the vehicle is being driven with a flat tire or low tire pressure (lower than 28 psi, 193 kPa), the low tire pressure warning system will activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure warning light. This system will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20 MPH (32 km/h). For more details, please refer to Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders in the Instruments and controls section, and Low tire pressure warning system in the Starting and driving section.
If the low tire pressure warning light flashes while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the tire placard to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated and the low tire pressure warning system will not function. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
In case of emergency 6-3
Getting the spare tire and tools
For King Cab models: Move the drivers seatback fully forward. Remove the jack and wheel nut wrench from the tool case located behind the drivers seat. Remove the jack rod located behind the drivers seat.

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-39
(1) Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H) 1. P: The P indicates the tire is designed for passenger vehicles. 2. Three-digit number: This number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. 3. Two-digit number: This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tires ratio of height to width. 4. R: The R stands for radial. 5. Two-digit number: This number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number: This number is the tires load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law. 7. Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire speed rating.
8-40 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
(5) Maximum load rating This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacing the tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that has the same load rating as the factory installed tire. (6) Term of tubeless or tube type Indicates whether the tire requires an inner tube (tube type) or not (tubeless). (7) The word radial The word radial is shown if the tire has radial structure. (8) Manufacturer or brand name Manufacturer or brand name is shown. Other Tire-related Terminology In addition to the many terms that are defined throughout this section, Intended Outboard Sidewall is (1) the sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or (2) the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.

Tulane University researchers are testing if low doses of aspirin can help older people live well for longer. (Photo from Masterfile) .
Tulane University researchers are participating in an international five-year study testing if low doses of aspirin can help older people live well for longer by delaying the onset of illnesses. The ASPREE, or ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly study, is funded by the National Institute on Aging, one of the National Institutes of Health. About 19,000 people in both the United States and Australia will take part in the study. In the United States, approximately 2,500 people will be enrolled at about 37 sites.
Leading the Tulane study center are Dr. William Robinson III, principal investigator of the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program, and co-principal investigator Dr. Eboni Price-Haywood, associate professor of Clinical Medicine in the section of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics.
Earlier studies have shown that low doses of aspirin reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack in middle-aged people and may prevent some forms of cancer and cognitive decline (i.e., thinking problems, such as memory loss and dementia). However, it remains unclear if the overall benefits of aspirin in older people are greater than the risks, such as bleeding.
The Tulane center is seeking to enroll African American and Hispanic men and women 65 years old and up and members of other ethnicities 70 years old and up. Participants will take either a low-dose aspirin tablet or placebo tablet (sugar pill) for a period of five years. All participants will receive annual check-ups tracking key measurements of their health and well-being.
"The ASPREE trial be will be a major step forward in the study of cancer prevention, as well as an opportunity for New Orleanians to take charge of their health by pursuing wellness, instead of just enduring illness," says Dr. Robinson.
Those interested in participating in the study should contact Alexandria Augustus, clinical research coordinator, at 504-988-6124.

My project has deferred solution on integration C++ with Python until now. But now this question is raised again. Do anybody know status of project? On Google: (http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow) there is no actual info at all. Can we reckon on this project?
Unladen Swallow is dead in the sense that activity is low and there seems little hope of being a standalone Unladen Swallow branch like Jython or Ironpython.
That said, a lot of the optimizations and advances are going to get merged into CPython. Moreover, there is still hope that the Unladen Swallow team will continue to make their optimizations, as PEP 3003 is designed to allow other branches of Python (namely IronPython and Jython but Unladen too) catch up with the C implementation.
But no, you can't reckon on Unladen Swallow. It's unlikely it will ever stand on its own two feet in the near future or, most likely, ever. You may need to find another solution for C++ integration with Python (CPython isn't that slow, so maybe try it?)
It is now five months since this question was asked, and Reid Kleckner has posted his own retrospective on Unladen Swallow. While he isn't listed as owner, most of his observations make it likely that Unladen Swallow is finished.

The question has been asked: No PHP for large projects? Why not? It's a recurring theme and PHP developers--with some cause--are forced to defend PHP.
All of these questions are valid and there have been some responses but this got me thinking. Based on the principle that you can write good code in any language and bad code in any language, I thought it worth asking a positive rather than negative question. Rather than why you can't, I wanted to ask how you can use PHP for large projects.
So, how do you write a large, complex, scalable, secure and robust PHP application?
EDIT: While I appreciate that the organizational aspects are important, they apply to any large project. What I'm primarily aiming for here is technical guidance and how to deal with common issues of scalability. Using an opcode cache like APC is an obvious starter. Cluster-aware sessions would be another. That's the sort of thing I'm getting at.

One local high school football team might be able to coast through to the next round of the playoffs with a "bye."
The Havelock Rams defeated Southern Vance in the Class 3-A playoffs Friday, 21 to 14. However, South Brunswick, the team the Rams are matched up to play Friday, could be disqualified. Multiple media reports say three South Brunswick players were ejected from their game against Southern Wayne Friday. According to the NC High School Athletic Association policy, the ejection of three players for a fight means the team loses their playoff privileges.
The playoff bracket on the state website currently has the teams matched up with no discussion of disqualifying South Brunswick.

Any questions?
We're always happy to talk
and help you select the best,
most cost-effective system.
800-460 8703
Lighting System option
The Lighting System is designed to work with the Gallery System tracks. The light wands simply lock onto the same track that hangs your art. A hidden flat power cable, that can be easily fitted onto the top of the track, carries 12 volt current along the track.
If you use the lighting system, recommended height of the track is 8 feet from the floor, with pictures mounted near eye level (about 5 feet above the floor).
The main components of the lighting system are — the same Gallery System tracks that support your art; light wands; lamps; power cable; junction box; and transformer to convert wall current to low voltage (12 volt) current.
- Low voltage moveable light wands lock onto Gallery System track at any point
- Lamps can illuminate art anywhere from 20 to 40 inches below the track
- Easy to move the lights when you move the art
- With lighting closer to the art, low wattage lamps can highlight your pictures without generating heat that could be harmful to your art
- Low voltage (12 volt) current is completely safe to handle
- Low wattage lamps mean lower electricity costs
- LED lamps available for even lower electricity costs
Long life, low energy consumption lamps illuminate your art from close enough to bring pictures to life. These low wattage lamps (on right) are standard 12-volt MR-16 bulbs. They provide gallery-quality lighting while protecting your art from damaging heat and keeping utility bills low.
- Lamps closer to the art highlight your pictures better
- Economical 5,000 hour halogen lamps
- LED lamps (on left) are available for even lower electricity costs, even longer life, and even less heat emissions
Light wands
Sleek, stylish and easy to install, our light wands lock onto our standard wall-mounted track at any point, and can be moved or adjusted as needed. They draw power from a hidden power cable that delivers safe 12-volt current to contact probes on the wand base. The wand design enables use of cool-running low-wattage bulbs so you can get gallery-quality illumination without exposing your art to damaging heat.
- Easy to move the lights when you move the art
- Light can be aimed anywhere from 20 to 40 inches below the track
- Up to 12 wands, spread over up to 60 feet of track, can be powered from one transformer — larger installations should use multiple transformers
- With LED lamps, up to 35 wands can be powered from one transformer
Power Cable
Sturdy flat cable fits easily into a channel on top of the wall-mounted track, where it is held in place with double-sided adhesive tape (included). The cable is hidden from sight and wraps easily around corners. When a light wand is locked into place, contact probes connect to the cable's conductors to deliver safe 12-volt power to the bulb.
- Easy to install
- Low voltage (12 volt) current is completely safe to handle
Junction Box
Installs next to the wall-mounted track, connecting the power cable to the 12-volt power supply from the transformer — it also incorporates circuit breakers to prevent electrical overload.
- Wall-mounted — easy to install
- Low voltage (12 volt) current is completely safe to handle

It's rare enough that Hollywood couples stay together for a good amount of time. (I'd say 2 years or more.) So, when we do see couples that have stayed on the scene and have really found true love, it's quite refreshing.
Don't ya think?
No matter if some have just newly tied the knot like Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, or have been celebrating years of marriage like Michelle and Barack Obama, there's no doubt when it comes to spotting a truly cool couple.
Sometimes, the length of marriage doesn't even matter, I guess. I'd join the Beckham clan just for the impeccable fashion. Can you say cutest couple award?
What would you do if you could be adopted by a celebrity couple for a day? I'd call dibs on the Obamas in a heartbeat! No couple could beat their White House swag any day.
Which family would you want to be part of? Give a shout out to your favorite celebrity couple in the comments section below. Ready, set, go!

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Host TJ Lavin Home from the Hospital
November 16, 2010 07:00 AM by Shayla Perry
TJ Lavin, the host of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge who was severely injured in the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas, has finally been released from the hospital. Keep reading for more details on Lavin's amazing recovery.
Just a month after a bike accident put him in a Las Vegas trauma unit, TJ Lavin, the 33-year-old professional BMX biker and host of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge is back home.
"He is now walking, talking, eating on his own and is getting his sense of humor back," TJ's mother, Barbara "Bobbi" Lavin told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Lavin was injured during the dirt qualifying round of the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas. In addition to a fractured right wrist, he suffered an orbital fracture on his eye, and was put into a medically induced coma to reduce the swelling in his brain.
After two weeks of rehabilitation, Lavin's mother says that they've still got some work ahead of them, telling the paper, "He has some eye issues and balance issues, but as the swelling goes down, we hope they will go away."
TJ will have to wear an eye patch from time to time, and will regularly need assistance. In the coming weeks, he will join a special program for people recovering from brain injuries at an outpatient facility in Las Vegas.
But despite the long road to recovery, Lavin's mom says that things aren't all bad. "He's starting to get his personality back." She went on to report that during a recent rehab session, when he was asked to recall three historical events, TJ named the terrorist attacks on September 11th, Pearl Harbor, and "Janet Jackson's boob,"–as in the wardrobe malfunction of the Super Bowl 2004 halftime show that caused a media frenzy.

NCAA to probe N. Carolina again
NCAA officials are taking another look into academic misconduct at North Carolina after an investigation uncovered new information.
Athletic director Bubba Cunningham said the school has received "a verbal notice of inquiry" that the NCAA will reopen its 2011 investigation in a case that began as an offshoot of a 2010 probe into the football program.
"The NCAA has determined that additional people with information and others who were previously uncooperative might now be willing to speak with the enforcement staff," Cunningham said in a statement.
Investigations have uncovered fraud in a department with classes featuring significant athlete enrollments, including lecture classes that did not meet and were treated as independent studies requiring one research paper.

NASA Argues Environmental Sanctimony Isn't Rocket Science
There is one thing that makes me more angry than dishonest sanctimony. That would be gutless, dishonest sanctimony. After NASA backed a study by Mathematician Safa Montesharrei with all the technological firepower that America's tax base could buy them, the agency now wants to disown that study's conclusion. This should not be permitted. If NASA lacks the moral courage to demand Montesharrei's immediate retraction; they | Read More »

By: Hayat Mohamed Posted: June 3 2011 12:38 PM 0 During the 30-year fight against AIDS, several U.S. presidents have been faced with tackling the country's HIV/AIDS epidemic -- and according to the Black AIDS Institute and the NAACP, not all have risen to the occasion. In the report 30 Years Is Enuf! the two organizations graded five presidents from the last three decades -- Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama -- on how well they handled the epidemic.Republicans didn't fare well in the fight. Reagan, who sat in office during the early stages of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, received the lowest letter grade possible: an F. The report criticized Reagan for ignoring the disease for years and failing to raise awareness among Americans. President Clinton scored the highest with a B for increasing awareness of the disease and increasing funding for AIDS treatments in both America and across the globe. Both Bush presidents received a C grade, while President Obama was given an incomplete. Since in office, Obama has launched a National HIV/AIDS Strategy and managed to achieve health care reform. Obama also succeeded in lifting the long-standing HIV immigration ban, but only time will tell how successful his presidency has been in the fight against AIDS. America has seen a great deal of change in the last 30 years, but it's clear that our presidents and the country as a whole have a long way to go. Read more at the Black AIDS Institute.

The following descriptions reveal some of the characteristics of people who share a birthday—those who are born on October 28th of any year—based on various methods used in Astrology, Numerology, and Cartomancy. Note that both Astrology and Numerology reveal much more depth when a birth year, and in the case of the former, a birth time and place are included.
The rulers of your Sun in Scorpio are Pluto and Mars. You are intense, passionate, perceptive, and determined. Your need to know, combined with superb intuition, makes you an excellent detective.
Some might say you are a law unto yourself. You combine originality with a sharp and logical mind into a very intriguing "package". Able to dig deep and come up with treasures, you are never satisfied with what appears to be, which gives rise to some restlessness. Warm and affectionate, you value your "down time" with family, as well as your privacy. However, when push comes to shove, you know you have yourself to rely on. You have a pioneering quality that is unmistakable.
Julia Roberts, born October 28, 1967 Actress.
Bill Gates, born October 28, 1955 Microsoft Windows, business entrepreneur.
Lauren Holly, born October 28, 1963 Actress.
Bruce Jenner, born October 28, 1949 Olympics Gold medalist, sportscaster.
Annie Potts, born October 28, 1952 Actress.
Scorpio the Scorpion
Scorpio is determined, strong, intense, and often controlled. Anything that is superficial doesn't appeal to the scorpion. It's all or nothing! Scorpio is never content to look only at the surface of matters. Scorpio digs deep, questions motives, and instinctively feels what is going on in the environment around him or her.
Scorpio, the scorpion: Planet: Pluto and Mars; Element: Water; Quality: Fixed; Color: Burgundy; Day: Tuesday; Stone: Topaz; Part of Body Ruled: Genitals; Motto: I control; Energy: Yin
Sun Conjunct Syrma
This fixed star has a Mercury/Mercury influence, and is considered fortunate. It gives a deep, penetrating mind. You are able to uncover hidden truths and
|We carry our Sun sign with us throughout our entire lives. If I'm a Scorpio, I'll always be a Scorpio. However, in secondary progressions, the Sun "progresses" in a symbolic sense through our natal Sun sign, and then beyond it to subsequent signs. Secondary progressions are "a day for a year", and because the Sun moves just under one degree per day, our Sun symbolically progresses just short of one degree every year of our lives. Because there are 30 degrees for every sign, if I was born in the latter days of a Scorpio Sun, my Sun would progress to the sign of Sagittarius in my early childhood, and to the sign of Capricorn in my early to mid-30's. If I was born near the beginning of a Scorpio Sun, however, my progressed Sun would enter Sagittarius close to my 30th birthday, and to Capricorn in my late 50's. The changeover of signs marks a critical turning point in a person's life. At the very end of a sign (just before changing signs), individuals may make life-changing, impulsive decisions.
Your progressed Sun enters Sagittarius at age 25. The ages of 24 to 26 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. After some sort of crisis of consciousness, and perhaps elimination of circumstances that have been limiting your growth, you begin to feel lighter, more free, and decidedly more outgoing. Your desire to learn increases, and your sense of humor is enriched. You are more flexible during this period as well.
Your progressed Sun enters Capricorn at age 54. The ages of 53 to 55 mark a critical turning point in the development of your personality. You become more practical, mindful, and concerned about your personal security. You are a self-starter, and you become more shrewd and focused on your goals.
Sabian Symbol:
Sabian symbols present imagery associated with the degree of your Sun in Scorpio. Either of the following may apply, depending on the exact degree of your Sun:
If Sun is 4-5 degrees Scorpio:
"A Massive Rocky Shore Resist The Pounding Of The Sea"
If Sun is 5-6 degrees Scorpio:
"The Gold Rush Tears Men Away From Their Native Soil"
Harmonic Degree Meaning:
The following is the degree meaning of your Sun (5 degrees Scorpio) based on harmonic sign influences.*
"Idealistic and sensitive. Enjoys the simple beauties of life. Dislikes noisy environments and boisterous people. Quiet work and imaginative, creative endeavors fulfill him."
You were born on the 28th day, which reduces to a 1. You are a pioneer. You have no problem working alone, but you can be a team player if need be. Factoring in the 10th month of October, you are a number 2. Your capacity to understand and relate to people is one of your greatest strengths. As unconventional as you are, you are also a skilled negotiator. You are protective of your family. Factoring in your birth year gives you your Birth Path Number—a highly personal number for you.
Most Favorable Days of the Month are 1, 10, 19, 28 especially when these days (of any month) fall on a Sunday or Monday; and/or when the Sun is in Leo. Second-choice favorable days of the month are 2, 11, 20, 29. The best colors for you are all shades of yellows and oranges. You might want to wear ruby gems next to your skin. Properties associated with ruby are power, wealth, attraction, and dynamism.
2012 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it's a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It's a good year in which to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and "chance" meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don't strain yourself or actively try to expand.
2013 is a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It's generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
This is a year for facing reality and restructuring your life in basic, necessary ways. Saturn is transiting your Sun this year, and helping you to become more responsible and organized. At times, you could feel unsupported. Work on communications projects pays off. Love is about communicating this year more than most. You can be very charming with your words and some of you could write especially well. Creativity is strong.
|Easy, subtle attraction and harmony: You don't feel an irresistible pull towards each other, but over time, appreciate the peace you have between you. These people are good for you, although they might not challenge you to grow.
February 19-March 1, June 21-July 1, August 24-31, December 24-31
|On-again, off-again attraction. This is a complex connection, and you make an odd yet interested couple.
March 24-28, May 24-28, September 26-30, November 26-30
|A mysterious attraction that can be very romantic…or completely platonic! This is a spiritual connection that has a magical quality to it.
February 6-10, July 11-15, September 3-7, December 16-20
|Opposites attract. Push me, pull me. You could complement each other well if you allow yourselves to learn from each other, or you could actively war against each other.
April 20-30
|Attraction of the soul; challenging, intense, rich, and binding.
September 15-19, December 6-10
|Powerful, tumultuous attraction–you are aware of the distinct differences between you, but may be drawn to each other because of the simultaneous awareness of a need and a lack. Either the relationship is ongoing and obviously tumultuous and of a "love-hate" nature, or it flows well until it breaks unexpectedly.
January 21-31, March 9-13, June 9-13, July 22-August 1, September 10-14, October 23-November 2, December 11-15
|Creative, communicative, inspiring, and spiritually rewarding connections.
January 6-10, March 18-22, May 30-June 3, August 13-17
|Today's playing cards are based on an ancient system similar to the Tarot. Each birthday of the year is associated with a main playing card, the Birth Card, and each tells its own story.
|The card associated with your birthday is the Seven of Hearts. You are a sensitive, intuitive, and spiritual person who can also be quite spontaneous on an emotional level. You are idealistic sometimes to the point of setting yourself up for disappointment when it is time to face reality. Your love card is the Five of Spades. As warm as you are, you can be rather restless in love, especially in youth. Looking for something more than mundane, you can jump into a relationship too quickly, imagining that it is "the one", only to be disappointed. Once you learn to take your time before declaring your undying love, your love life will settle down. You may attract changeable or restless partners.
