Accelerating ChangePosted by Greg at 05:47, 10 Sep 2004
In November the Institute for the Study of Accelerating Change will hold its annual conference studying the implications of rapid advances in technology. An integral part of that topic is the idea of the 'singularity', something which I wrote about while at Phenomena Magazine with a column titled "Becoming the Borg".
For another, more cynical look at the 'singularity', readers might be interested in a new column at the Wired Magazine website titled "The Evolution Will Be Mechanized", written by Bruce Sterling (which Cernig linked to in yesterday's news). Sterling is not so sure about jumping on the bandwagon of this sci-fi future, and explains his reasons for thinking so. Some fun weekend reading, and ruminating, when it comes to the topic of the 'singularity'. Thanks C.

I too have written about this turbo-charging of human endeavor via technology way back in 1977 and forward to the present. It is a condition that many of us cannot discern while we are increasingly experiencing life on the FLY. Human perception may not be able to pick up on the bits of information that impact their daily lives.
Yet, indeed it is dawning upon us and we will not be prepared for the day that it runs right over us. I guess that stands for my generation only. My students are of a different bent and some will embrace it. Man is the son of Borg...yet our systems which we occupy are not developed to the point that we are approaching. I make reference to much of this in some of my old stuff held here at my blog.
I am currently writing a book on the Moire Arena that is so technological that we only see this existence as evolution...yet it is constructed as are we. The more we discern technology the more we will realize the fact that we have made ourselves...we the multifaceted being.
Good stuff Greg.

As I approach the end of my sixth decade on Earth (at least, this iteration), I look back down the road and see the truly exponential advances in technology, and their effects on society. If I weren't a partial "techno-geek", and interested in almost everything, I probably wouldn't notice as much. Most of the people around me seem blissfully unaware of how change is accelerating, driven by daily advances in technology.
I had to laugh this morning when I was at the checkout counter at QuickChek, when I noticed a display of motorized lollipops. For $2.95 you can avoid licking - just hold it against your tongue and press the little yellow button. I wondered if the batteries would last through the whole pop, even though it was only an inch in diameter. With a Dr. Seuss figure on top, it seemed quite appropriate to our high-tech civilization.
Whether you're a believer or not, Philip Corso's "Day After Roswell" introduces a clever twist on the subject. He was ostensibly in charge of the locked "nut file", where several pieces-parts of the crashed alien craft were kept. These included wafers resembling computer chips, light-amplifying material, and other items I can't recall. According to Corso, his mission was to take these items and introduce them discreetly into areas of the private sector that were already involved in like research. This allegedly took place from about 1960 on; for how long, I'm not certain. When I look back down the road of progress, it's odd how the exponential advances in technology seemed to begin around that time, at least in my memory.
I recall standing in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, and watching a display that illustrated the conservation of angular momentum. A small metal ball was introduced into a large cone, and began rotating around its surface. As gravity pulled it downward into the smaller part of the cone, it spun faster and faster. Kind of like being caught by the event horizon of a singularity, I imagined. We're caught in a similar situation, in the conservation of technological momentum.
Remember the first time you actively discovered gravity? You were probably a small child, running down a grassy slope (I hope). The experience was heady; the wind rushing past you, the joy of unfettered speed, a feeling of freedom and empowerment, until: you suddenly discovered that your little legs could no longer drive you fast enough to stay ahead of gravity. Your only option was to fall down, and hope for the best. We have the ability now to create nearly anything we desire, maybe even designer humans; question is, should we? I fear we've reached the point of no return, with tremendous scientific knowledge, but without the ethical responsibility to control it. We've managed to control the A-bomb, because its effects are so obviously disastrous and far-reaching. Our newest technologies are far more insidious, but could be just as deadly, long-term, for humanity. I hope we don't fall down, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I once spoke to a group of teachers at the University of Texas for the National Space Foundation. We had a person from NASA there and I asked him what Gravity was? He responded that we do not know. I asked him what light was? He responded that we do not know. Seems to me that we are still in the dark...will we ever really know what we are?
I know.

Gravity is produced when gravit(r)on particles collide with other particles that have a measured mass that is greater than the gravit(r)on particle itself. Gravit(r)ons are produced as a result of energy thats converted from the process of enertia. As the energy of a body in motion is released, and converts to a different form of enery, gravit(r)ons are born. they fly out and collide with other particles, thus the gravit(r)on is converted to the energy that we know as gravity. at least thats how i see it. but maybe i'm wrong.

It is like saying that all we see is a result of Physics which was once a word called God. We still do not know what gravity or light is. We also do not know how it works but can throw assumptions out -- word after word. Yet, an assumption is nothing but a guess. We do believe that there is a light element within every cell that reacts somehow with the constructs of each cell that creates the illusion of existence...almost like a super-complex pixel charged with information. Life is nothing but an arena charged with information packages from some source that is increasingly complex and ever more unknown as is gravity and light. Our mentality tells us one thing but does this lens on life react to programming or evolution? If programming, I see a Moire Arena holographically represented in a virtual format. We are elsewhere...perhaps even multifaceted as one being experiencing many parts at once. We may be...alone and play like there are many...but there is only our mirror caused by a slight movement which causes some initial observation...all an illusion.
Not that one is, but that whereby Is, is.

no, that was not read from anything. it came from my understanding of those subjects. and like i stated, i may be wrong, and most likely, i am wrong. but thats how i see it at this time. you and i are traveling in opposite directions in this conversation. your intention is to firmly hold to an assumption of us(humans) as ignorant of well known properties of particle physics. obviously, i disagree with that assumption. the degree of our understanding in these areas of study cannot be summed up with the statement "We do not know". because actually, thats just not true.

One would think that NASA spokespersons who, when hard pressed by educators, would tell us the outright truth...We do not know. In all of my studies, I find that we indeed, do not know...yet we know enough to use what we see on the surface of the issue/s but not to know what it truly is. Which is, we do not know.

Do yourself a favor, learn to be a little more tactful. Take care who you call ignorant and best take care of your own advice...Dialogue is the key here. I did not say you were wrong, but only gave some of my experience in these matters. Take care and don't be sending streams of water up my back and tell me it is raining.

Light is easier by far than gravity. Light is particle energy. Waves of particles of energy thats released from a converting host is spewed out and travels in a straight line. the particle stream can be bent/deflected as they pass through a medium of substances that can not fully absorb the energy waves. the human brain recieves this energy through the optic nerve, transmits it to the brain, which decodes the information as color. color is produced when an object reflects back the portion of the energys wave length that it can not absorb fully into itself, and retain. the energy that is reflected back is recieved as a specific wave length. it stimulates a direct responce in the brain. your parents taught you to associate a word with that stimuli, and it became that color for you. light is energy that is produced in particle wave format.

Hi Greg,
Excellent article, thank you for posting the link. I guess I stand with Sterling on this question - I am an 80's cyberpunk at heart, as is he. The question isnt whether the new technologies will destroy mankind - they might, they might not - it is "what do we do about it if they dont?" The problem I have with the transhumanist agenda is that it is, in the main, incredibly self-centered. Annalee Newitz makes the point very clearly in her latest article, "Extropian Trash". If there is to be a singularity, I am afraid I will almost certainly be one of those down in the trash-filled alleys looking up at the quantum-dot-and-nanotech towers of the new godlings...and probably trying to get them to notice the great unwashed down here in the dirt.
Regards, C.

I'd really appreciate some input from owners of the lighted K3 cover:
Still seeking a workable alternative to PW for reading in the dark, I got the lighted cover for my Kindle Keyboard from Amazon after reading glowing reviews here and on Amazon, specifically that it lights the whole page, and not just the corner.
The cover just arrived I'm really shocked at how it truly does not provide enough light across the page to read in the dark, and concentrates primarily in the corner, just as pictured in the Amazon photo (the top review reassures that the light fully casts upon the page.)
Why there is so much discrepancy between my experience and that of others? I'd like to hear what your own experience is with it before I return another handful of Amazon products.
Now I'm considering getting the new basic Kindle with the better contrast and I'm looking for a bright, white light similar to that of the Mighty Bright Xflex2, but without the weight and awkwardness of the 3 AA batteries. Any suggestions?
1) why isn't my lighted cover as good as everyone says it is? 2) which booklight is as bright as a Mighty Bright Xflex2 but is less heavy due to batteries?

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A decree by Pope Benedict allowing priests to say the old Latin Mass more frequently has drawn criticism within Catholic and Jewish ranks, with one Italian bishop saying he was "in mourning".
The decree, a nod to traditionalists which the Pope said was meant to heal divisions within the Church, was regarded by some as a blow to reforms introduced in the 1960s that promoted mass in local languages and understanding with non-Catholics.
"I can't fight back the tears. This is the saddest moment in my life as a man, priest and bishop," Luca Brandolini, a member of the liturgy commission of the Italian bishops' conference, told Rome daily La Repubblica in an interview on Sunday.
"It's a day of mourning, not just for me but for the many people who worked for the Second Vatican Council. A reform for which many people worked, with great sacrifice and only inspired by the desire to renew the Church, has now been cancelled."
The Pope, in a letter to bishops on Saturday, rejected criticism that his move could split Catholics and reverse the reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
Some Jewish leaders have sharply criticised the decree, which revives a passage from the old Latin prayer book for Good Friday calling for Jews to be converted. Others, however, took a more measured tone and called for clarification.
"I think there are those who have interpreted it in an extremely alarmist fashion," Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) told Reuters.
"That doesn't mean that there aren't things that need clarification but there is no question of Pope Benedict's commitment to respectful relations with the Jewish people."
The AJC's Rome representative, Lisa Palmieri-Billig, said the text of the decree was ambiguous on the issue. Church officials however had no doubt the prayer could now be said in certain circumstances, even if its use would probably be rare.
"I find it difficult to believe that the Pope would permit the Good Friday prayer, it could be a communication mistake," Palmieri-Billig said.
"Conversion is a very sensitive issue for Jews and if the prayer is allowed, it would be a step backwards for dialogue."
French Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard said on Saturday the prayer could be changed if it caused difficulties with Jews.
Defending the decree, Colombian Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who is trying to heal the rift with the traditionalists' main flag-bearer, the schismatic Society of Saint Pius X, said it opened the door for their return and "I wouldn't understand if they don't come back."
However the group, which claims one million members, said on Saturday it had to iron out doctrinal differences with the Vatican before a reconciliation could take place.
The decree, possibly the most important of Benedict's papacy so far, was issued on a summer weekend without the publicity that normally accompanies key documents.
The Pope did not mention it in his weekly Angelus blessing on Sunday and will retreat to the Dolomites mountains on Monday to start his summer holidays.
The Vatican will issue another text on Tuesday expected to declare Roman Catholicism the only true church of Jesus Christ, a statement that could anger Protestants.
Other Christian churches criticised Rome in 2000 when it issued a similar document signed by the Pope, who was then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and the top defender of Church dogma.

How Do You Like Your Marshmallow Toasted? – Brian's Blog [POLL]
Summertime is s'more time. Who doesn't love cooking on the grill and making the family favorite for dessert? Yesterday was Mother's Day so we fired up the grill for some steaks and taters. It was a delicious feast but no feast is complete without a little fun for dessert. We all saved room for s'mores. We have a difference of opinion on the roasting of the marshmallow in our family. I like to rotate mine continuously and make a perfectly browned marshmallow. I am careful to never let it catch on fire and roast it until it is just a bit crunchy on the outside and brown as a Puerto RIcan tan. My wife and daughter prefer theirs to be black as coal. They make a big mallow fire on a stick and then mash it tween the crackers. How do you like your marshmallow roasted? These are the kind of issues that can fragment a family. Please answer the poll and let us know. Happy s'more season!!

"Loved that I could personalize the card with my colors and wording. Also, getting to see an example of my product before finalizing the order was very reassuring!"
"Loved these invitations. The quality of the paper was great. They turned out just as I had hoped for my daughter's wedding invitations."
"The pictures of this product online are very accurate. The only thing I thought I would like to change would be to change the paper from the standard white to the Pearl Shimmer White, but the invitations are beautiful and I think the kind of paper that it is on is something only I will notice they still look beautiful on the plain white. Beautiful and elegant!!"
"I loved the style of writing on the front and how well organized and set apart each piece of information appeared. I thought it was very easy to read. I could have done with a different pattern on the back: it was too busy for my liking."
"It says that because it is a square invitation extra postage is required. Very true. However, the post office is well prepared for just this situation and has very pretty wedding stamps. The actual weight with the rsvp and return envelope is 70 ounces. The invitations were very pretty and Tiffany loved them. Unfortunately they will not be used now due to medical issues. What a shame."

Critics Reviews Audience Reviews
Apart from Kunchacko's character as swami, all the other elements become unnoticed. Romance content is not much highlighted and at some point, the story seems to be lagging.
We know that there are bad elements in every section of society and religion. But, there is a way of conveying that. The way adopted by Babu Janardhanan is crass, to say the least.
i guess there isn't anything wrong in expecting a creation far more superior from a writer of Babju Janardhan's caliber. 'God for Sale' fails to deliver, and that too in royal proportions!

Israel hits back after suicide bombing
Israeli tanks have shelled four Palestinian checkpoints near the West Bank towns of Jenin and Tulkarem, hours after a suicide bomb attack in northern Israel.
But Israeli political sources say the response would have been much harsher but for a plea for restraint by the United States.
The bomber blew himself up near a train station in the town of Binyamina on Monday evening, killing two Israelis, a male and a female soldier, and injuring at least eight others.
The tense security situation led Defence Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer to call off a week-long visit to the United States.
During the visit, due to start on Wednesday, Mr Ben-Eliezer was due to meet the Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
The militant Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Israeli security forces have been on high alert following several attacks by militant Muslim groups since the beginning of the Palestinian intifada (uprising) last September.
Many right-wing Israelis wanted a much harsher military reply to the bombing than the shelling of the Palestinian checkpoints.
But Israeli sources say an American envoy pressed Israel to limit its response in return for a condemnation of the attack from the Palestinian Authority.
That condemnation came quickly after the bombing.
A spokesman for Mr Sharon said Israel would continue to try to intercept militants before they carry out attacks - which our correspondent says often means killing known militants.
Islamic Jihad's statement said the attack, in which Nidal Shadouf, 20, had blown himself up in a crowd of people near the train station, was in retaliation for Israel's policy of assassinating Palestinian militants suspected of planning attacks on Israelis.
"We warn the leaders of the Zionist enemy against any further idiocy or aggression against our people, and assure them that there are tens of suicide bombers ready to blow themselves up at any moment, anywhere in our usurped homeland of Palestine," the statement warned.
Police used helicopters to hunt for a green Opel car, which is believed to have dropped off the suicide bomber at the scene of the blast.
Witnesses said they saw a car draw up near the train station - a man got out, walked towards the station, and then blew himself up.
Within minutes of the news breaking, Israeli Communications Minister Reuven Rivlin said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was to blame for the attack.
"Arafat is sitting somewhere and smiling... saying that you can talk with me, but I am hitting you," Mr Rivlin told Israeli television.
The explosion followed a day of heavy clashes in the West Bank city of Hebron on Monday, in which several people were injured and Palestinian police posts were destroyed when Israeli tanks moved into the Palestinian controlled area of the city.

"New study says Shelby County best place in state to be a kid"
Montgomery - Shelby County is the best place to be a child in Alabama, according to a study ranking indicators of child well-being.
The 2010 Kids Count Data Book ranked Shelby No. 1 in the state in a survey weighing factors such as births to unmarried teens, children in single-parent families, child poverty and the high school graduation rate. Shelby County was followed by Blount, Lee, Limestone, Cleburne, St. Clair and Madison as top counties in the state.
Dallas County, in the poverty-stricken Black Belt, ranked last in the state. "The bottom five are Black Belt counties. That is not a surprise to anybody," said Linda Tilly, executive director of Voices for Alabama's Children.
"When you look down at the bottom (counties) they are the ones that have very few resources for schools, and there is very high unemployment," Tilly said.
Shelby County and its suburban neighborhoods and Dallas County in the heart of the state's Black Belt are relatively close geographically but are light years apart economically, according to the study. The median household income is $65,408 in Shelby compared to $27,088 in Dallas. In Shelby, 9.9 percent of children live in poverty compares to 52.7 percent in Dallas.
But Tilly said even more affluent areas are demonstrating pressure from the economy. She said child poverty rates have jumped even in some of the more affluent counties.
The study also found a dramatic decrease in the number of licensed child care providers in the state. Between 2000 and 2011 the total number of licensed child care programs in the state decreased by nearly 50 percent while the number of Alabama's young children in need of care outside of the home increased.
Tilly said overall the numbers represent a mixed bag of progress in some areas tempered with ongoing challenges and the economic pressures of a stagnate economy.
Tilly said births to unmarried teens, first-grade retention rates and child death rates are improving.
"The good news when looking at last year is that the graduation rate from the state increased from 61.7 percent to 65.8 percent," Tilly said. "The news that causes concern is that child poverty rate jumped from 21.1 percent to 24.6 percent. It is extremely alarming that nearly a quarter of our children live in poverty. Research shows that, especially for young children, the negative effects of poverty are long term."

So, I've been getting about a bit over the last few days. First of all, chatting to my sweet online friend, Alice, over at her blog (we've also got a fun project to share with you tomorrow), and then spilling some behind-the-scenes beans about my new book, Paperie.
I may not always be the most loquacious of bloggers, but both interviews managed to get me blethering on like a gossipy pensioner. If you've ever wanted to know what a typical day looks like round here, which Paperie projects are my favourite and what my cat does (or doesn't do) for a living, well . . . you're very strange, but the answers are all there for the reading.

THE accident and emergency department at Salisbury District Hospital has been rated one of the best in the country in a survey carried out by the Care Quality Commission.
About 850 people who attended A&E in the summer were asked their views on facilities, waiting times, the quality of care and the way they were treated. When compared with most other trusts in the survey, Salisbury District Hospital was better in 32 of the 44 questions asked and about the same in the remaining 12.
Ninety-six per cent of patients said they had confidence in the medical staff treated them, 99 per cent said they were given privacy and 99 per cent said the facilities were clean.
Interim Chief Executive Peter Hill said: "It's important that our patients have confidence in our staff and that they receive good quality care in a safe and clean environment.
"This is an excellent report and fantastic feedback, which reflects the professionalism of our staff and the quality of care they provide."

Is there anyone out there who loves Fred & Ginger as much as I do?
I'm outgoing and irreverent; flip, funny and slight. I was born in the frozen north, to Scandinavian Lutherans, and raised in Minnesota (think Garrison Keillor); I've also lived in Chicago and Colorado. I finished up my undergraduate work and went to grad school here in Texas, but I was educated (a couple of light years ago) at the University of Chicago. I love bright, quirky passionate beings (being bright, quirky and passionate myself), and when I encounter such individuals, wherever I encounter them, friendship tends to follow. I have an eclectic group of friends, but once I become friends with someone, time and distance do not separate us.
I'm happy. Also, I'm active; I crave a certain amount of physical activity. When I was younger, I ran. At 65, I no longer run, but I completed the White Rock Half Marathon in December 2012, and I do a brisk 3 to 5 mile walk through my neighborhood pretty much every day, so if you can't do that, or something comparable, we're probably not a good match physically.
When I'm not working I read, write, go to concerts (mostly classical, but I've also seen Leonard Cohen, Joe Cocker, and Natalie Merchant in concerts recently), cook, putter around in my flowerbeds, watch movies, and sometimes, hang out with friends and family...
My all-time favorite movie is Sex, Lies and Videotape...I also like the screwball comedies of the 30's, and I'm an IFC addict, and I love Johnny Depp...
Music - Classical, opera and folk are my favorites, but I also like rock, R&B, jazz; even some rap...I love The Lumineers and Jose James; Maria Callas (I'd time travel to hear her live); Paolo Conte; Bob Marley & The Wailers (but who doesn't like Marley? - and I'd time travel to hear him, too)...
Food - I love food and am almost always willing to try something new. My favorite restaurant in Dallas was Lola (now closed); I like the new place, Lucia, which is just around the corner from Hattie's in Oak Cliff, but not as much as I liked Lola; I also enjoy ducking into Adair's for a burger and beer, or going to Mia's for the brisket tacos, or Houston's for the sashimi salad. I love Mexican, Thai, French and Italian but a word to the wise: Italian does not mean Olive Garden. Ever.
two sons, one son-in-law, three grandsons; my Kindle, the NYTimes online and other reading material (essential to my lifelong love affair with the written word); the internet; dental floss; hot showers; good pillows; good music...more than six, I know
I'm an avid reader, and my house is filled with books, so I do best with guys who are sophisticated, fairly literate, and intellectually curious. I love words and books and ideas, and anyone I'd be interested in will have to be able to hold his own with me intellectually......but I'm also a parent and I adore my kids (all grown) and that's sort of like being bilingual...one can slip into parent speak at any time...so I've found that I do best with guys who are also parents who adore their kids.
Life is good, and funny, and at 65, I want a co-conspirator...a bright, funny guy, who can not only carry on an intelligent conversation and make me laugh, but who can look into my eyes while he's doing it...

Danish Seaman's Scarf

I designed this scarf for the OFA Red Scarf Project in conjunction with Donna Druchunas' blogtour for Ethnic Knitting Discovery. Fifty percent of the proceeds from this scarf will be donated to OFA to support their wonderful work on behalf of foster children in college.
The scarf uses a provisional cast on (I used Judy's Magic Cast On), and simple knit/purl patterns to form a design that looks complicated but is easy to knit.
It's readily adaptable to be longer (or shorter).
Errata: In version one, the pattern says "having bound off after chart B" when it should read "having bound off at the end of chart E". (Also, the key doesn't clearly indicate that the last row of chart E is a bind off row, not a purl row).

The final round of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) has officially come and gone for the New York Giants, and next up is the mandatory team mini-camp which begins on Tuesday. The camp, which runs from the 11th through the 13th, will be some of the final football-related activity for the team until they report for training camp on July 26th. And for the record, head coach the team expects Hakeem Nicks to attend. Of course, the same can not be said for Victor Cruz.
In the mean time, allow us to catch you up and supply some early Sunday morning reading material.
Giants' New LB Kyle Bosworth Hopes to Make a Name for Himself
Kara Keough has already scripted how "this circus that we call life" will play out eight months from now, at least in her mind and her heart.
Her fiancé, Kyle Bosworth – the newest linebacker for the Giants — is going to cap the best season of his football career by winning Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium.
"Here's the thing, I'm planning on it being the best week of our lives," Keough said.
Because six days after Bosworth gets the ring for which he has always dreamed, she will get hers at their wedding.
Quarterbacks Coach Sean Ryan Discusses Rookie Ryan Nassib
"I think it was very clear what we thought of him going in," Ryan said.
Pleased with Picks, Reds Turn Focus to Signing Draftees
Perhaps the most intriguing Reds pick on Friday was left-handed pitcher Chad Jones. A former two-sport athlete at LSU, Jones was drafted by the Brewers in 2010, but decided to stick with football when the New York Giants selected him two months later. Shortly after, Jones was involved in a nearly fatal car accident and there were questions on whether he would walk again.
Three years later, Jones turned back to baseball and the Reds took him in the ninth round. Buckley said Jones started working out about two months ago, and he's confident the former 13th-round pick by the Astros in the 2007 Draft can get back to where he was before he chose football.
"Absolutely," Buckley said. "We all scouted Chad through football and baseball at LSU. Unfortunately for him, he had the bad injury. This kid had tremendous potential, and he hadn't even scratched the surface because he only played baseball when he wasn't on the football field."
Former Giant QB Tarkenton Demonstrates NFL Bond with Release of Dryer Letter
On Thursday former New York Football Giants quarterback Fran Tarkenton released a letter and photograph via his Twitter account (@Fran_Tarkenton) that he received from former teammate Fred Dyer. The short note demonstrates the bond that retired teammates build during their time in the NFL.
NY Giant Andre Brown's Pals Skip Out on $1000 Tab
Friends hanging out with New York Giants running back Andre Brown ran out on a $1,000 bar tab during a power outage at a New Jersey club. We're told Brown and 15 pals ordered 12 bottles of vodka and several glasses of Champagne over two hours at 46 Lounge in Totowa on May 23.

"Talked to [Moore] the other day and can't wait to meet him and work on his game with him," Michael Strahan wrote on his Twitter page Thursday. "Can be a great one."

Crisis fuels search for alternatives
Electric vehicle makers have reported a big increase in interest as the fuel blockade continues to bite.
Electric bicycle manufacturer, Powabyke, said it has been "inundated" with calls from businesses desperate to ensure that their staff will still be able to get out and about.
Powabyke said companies across the UK were waking up to the fact, that unless deliveries and essential appointments are kept, the knock-on consequences of the dispute will be severe.
It said that its bicycles, which allow the rider petrol-free powered cycling, have been snapped up by anxious managers determined to beat the blockades.
Easy Riders
A local radio station, Bath FM, has taken a bike on loan to allow its roving reporters unimpeded access to breaking stories all over the city.
And Lancashire Police have reinforced the strong arm of the law with a fleet of six Powabykes.
Green campaigners have called the protest an opportunity, whilst maintaining their stance that fuel prices should be kept high, in order to reduce "greenhouse" effect gases.
"High fuel prices are essential to make sure it is used efficiently."
Instead of demanding price cuts, the Greens want campaigning bodies like the Renewable Energy Forum and the Alternative Fuels Consortium to use the crisis to emphasise our dependency on petrol.
Electric - the future
Meanwhile, the Electrical Vehicles Association said that almost a half of journeys - under 50 miles - are possible by electric car, with today's technology.
The association spokesman, Gerry Woolf, who drives an electric Peugeot 106 every day said: "EV's could happen now without a doubt. "Last week in the US, the California air resources board, which set up the zero emission mandate, ratified the decision for implementation by 2003.
"I am in Phoenix Arizona this week and here you get a huge tax rebate if you buy an EV."
Advocates for electric cars assert that advances in battery technology, thanks to work on mobile phones and laptops, mean batteries can be recharged in minutes.

The Alternative rockers revealed to the press that their upcoming new LP is set to be dropped this fall and it will sound a little bit poppy.
Alternative rock act Dashboard Confessional have just revealed more details about their upcoming studio album. Although, having yet to set the title for the new LP, the band stated to Billboard.com that the follow up to "The Shade of Poison Trees" would be dropped this fall.
Revealing the details about the upcoming record, the band's frontman Chris Carrabba told Billboard that the new LP "has a vibrance that is suited for summertime." Chris also added that the songs on the new album will sound "a bit poppy. But not in a 'pop' popular music way."
Moreover, Chris also credited the work done by the yet-to-be-titled LP's producer Adam Schelsinger for creating the unusual pop sound for the record. "Some producers do an amazing job of inventing new techniques. But Adam understands the palette of craftsmanship. He's really good," Chris said.
Beside working on a new record, the band will also do some other project but unfortunately, Chris still refuses to reveal details about the new stuff. "If I can get these guys to actually all come into the room together on the same day, we'll see what happens. Right now, it's only just a bit more than 'in theory' right now," said Chris.

Doom II
Review by LordGeos
"If it's up here, what's down there....?"
Doom II: Hell on Earth is one of the best FPS's i have played. Sure, the graphics would not make you think that you were actually killing demon spawn from the underworld, but hey! Good music, control, sound, and gameplay make up for that! Now, on the the meat of the review.
Gameplay: 10
Quite basic, really. Run around and shoot anything that moves. There is no weak point, no weakness, no protected spot, just point and pull the trigger. It is this basicness, though, that makes doom great. Also, the millions of add-ons make the gameplay even better, as you can play with new levels, weapons, monsters, etc.
Sound: 10
Sound in this game may be one of the things that keeps you alive. All monsters have a ''sound'' that they make when they are away from you/cant see you. With zombies, you would hear heavy breathing, imps, snarling, and the Cyberdemons, loud, heavy, footsteps. All of the guns sound real, except for the Plasma gun, and the BFG. Think about it.
Music: 10
Not exactly what maestro would like, but it fits very well in here. Dark and creepy on some levels, others it is very fast paced. And on a few, downright scary! The music gets the job done, but you probably wont hear a lot of it.
Control: 10
Simplicity always works best. And it is pretty darn simple here. Arrow keys to move around. See a demon, press Ctrl to shoot it. Space opens doors. Shift runs. No jumping is in this game, and all the better, i say. One less control to be worried about in the heat of a gunfight with a demon.
Graphics: 7
The only place where doom makes a downfall is graphics. Up close, demons look very pixellated and blocky. However, this is not commonly a problem, and they probably did this on purpose to prevent slowdown from a horde of demons assualting you. Besides, you probably dont want the demons to come up in your face. That is called asking for it.
Overall: 10
Doom is a gaming experence that should not be missed. Really, anybody old enough to not be scared of it would probably enjoy this game.
The Good:
Easy Control
Point n' shoot, no aiming required!
Great sound and music
The Bad:
Graphics are blocky up close
The Ugly:
100% of the bad guys
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

20 Year Changes in Fitness & Cardiovascular Disease Risk - Ancillary to CARDIA

|November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Although an age-related decline in aerobic capacity is well documented, the impact of physical activity, body fat, and genetic variation on the rate of change is not well understood. In addition, little is known about how rate of change in aerobic capacity during early and middle adulthood affects the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors or the incidence of subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) related end-points. The study addresses these issues by conducting an ancillary study in conjunction with the Year 20 CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) examination, which is scheduled to take place beginning in June, 2005. Approximately 3,650 (75%) of the surviving members of the initial cohort of African American and white men and women will return for the Year 20 exam, at which point they will be 38-50 years old.
CARDIA is a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-supported longitudinal study which measures changes in coronary heart disease risk factors in cohorts of Black and white males and females who were 18 to 30 years of age at baseline. Also, the study identifies life styles during this age span which influence these changes in risk factors.
The overall goal of the ancillary study is to understand the complex, longitudinal relations between physical fitness, physical activity, body mass and composition and fat distribution, and genetic factors and their independent or interactive effects on the development of obesity, the metabolic syndrome, and sub-clinical CVD. To accomplish this goal, all Year 20 CARDIA participants will be measured for: 1. Aerobic capacity, by means of a symptom-limited graded exercise treadmill test, using the same protocol as that used in CARDIA at the Year 0 and Year 7 exams; 2. Body composition and fat distribution, using a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometery (DEXA) scan; 3. Physical activity, using 7 days of accelerometer recordings; and 4. DNA sequence variants in selected candidate genes associated with cardiorespiratory fitness, components of the metabolic syndrome, and response to regular exercise, using stored DNA.
Data from this ancillary study will be combined with core CARDIA examination data to address the following aims: a. Examination of the contribution of body mass and composition, fat distribution, objectively measured physical activity and specific genetic polymorphisms to the variance in Year 20 aerobic capacity and in age-related decline in aerobic capacity over a 20-year time period from young adulthood to mid-life, stratifying by race and gender. b. Longitudinal examination of the effect of aerobic capacity on changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors and on the incidence of CVD-related endpoints (e.g. hypertension, metabolic syndrome, subclinical disease [e.g. coronary artery calcium]).

Christopher Wheeldon's new ballet company may have had its launch party last year, but this year it makes its official debut with a combination of new and classic repertory that Wheeldon aims to make Morphoses' signature mix. Within the two programmes performed in London there are new ballets by the former Frankfurt dancer Emily Molnar and by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. Lifted from the back catalogue, meanwhile, is Frederick Ashton's luminous little ballet Monotones 11, plus revivals of Wheeldon's masterly creation Polyphonia (set to music by Ligeti) and his gold-tinted Fools' Paradise. The main event of the programme, however, promises to be the world premiere of Wheeldon's setting of Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite. Special guest dancers for the season include Martin Harvey (from The Royal).

A SIX-OVER-PAR total of 150 was enough to give Marc Thomas victory in the Weybrook Park Club Championship.
Thomas was the joint leader after the first round at the Basingstoke club, shooting 74 (+2) to head the leaderboard alongside Gareth Robertson.
However, scoring was more difficult in the afternoon and while Robertson fell away, eventually finishing fifth, Thomas played some solid golf to card a second round of 76 (+4) to win by three shots.
Mark Burgess was one of very few players to improve their first-round score in the afternoon, shooting 74 (+2) to equal the best score of the day and move into second place, having carded a seven-over-par total of 79 in the first round.
He beat Oliver Coleman, who carded rounds of 75 (+3) and 78 (+6) on countback, while Scott Coomber (75 and 79) was a shot back in fourth, with Robertson a further stroke behind in fifth.
The handicap title was claimed by Charlie Kelly, who carded a 10-under-par total of 134 playing off 11. Tom Wildsmith was four shots back in second, playing off a handicap of 20, while 23-handicapper Richard Fitzpatrick was third, a further two strokes behind.
Lance Forster recorded a two-over-par total of 142 to win the Basingstoke Golf Club Championship by a single shot.
Forster's 36-hole score saw him beat James Wright into second place. Peter Wright was a further eight shots back in third.

The shingles rash can
appear anywhere on the body but will only be on one side of the body, the left
or right. It will be in a band, a strip, or a small area. Before the rash
occurs, there is usually itching, tingling, or pain in that area. The rash
turns into blisters after several days. It is possible to have the shingles
rash in more than one area.

Technological Advances of Ancient Ages
Daily Comments
Aksu TV - April 10, 2010
Adnan Oktar: In short; it is a very supreme blessing to be sincere, to be open-hearted, to defend freedom or to avoid bigotry, to abide by the teachings of Quranic moral values, to be as affectionate as our Prophet Muhammad (saas), to be as forgiving as he was, as compassionate as he was; namely to have a good moral character. Let the people be very happy. Let the Turkish Islamic Union be constituted. For instance; you see that Krygyzstan is in disorder, Kazakhistan is turmoil, Azerbaijan has been longing for getting united with Turkey, but despite that, they are also uneasy.It is a must for all of us to endeavor for a unity to end these all, inshaAllah. When there is a Turkish-Islamic Union, the Turkish world will be relieved Insha'Allah, and they are all Muslims; thus we will have also embraced the Islamic world, thoroughly, inshaAllah. Alas, look at the people suffering in Iraq, people suffering in Afghanistan, in Pakistan. They are wretched, ie. hungry, they are miserable, they have no clothes, these are children, young girls, mothers. What a pitty! We should feel sorry for all of them as Muslims, we should feel compassion. We have that kind of opportunity. Turkey is both a modern and a rational country; on a line adherent to Ataturk's policy, Turkey is a nationalist country, on such a consistent line, therefore Turkey is a country that lives Islam in the best way, it is the ideal structure. Thus; the whole Islamic world demands Turkey's leadership. I mean; Turkey cannot just stand stil when this is the demand. It has to meet this demand, to accept it for Allah's sake. That's why, Turkey will become the leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union. And a very beautiful future is waiting for Muslims, but with our efforts.

It can be hard to find good sea food in the desert. Unfortunately, the restaurant featured in this week's cafe column won't exactly help your search.
Food Critic Michele Laudig on Ocean Prime:
Given his background working for Christopher Gross and Eddie Matney, and the sophisticated food he cooked at Furio when it opened, I expected a lot from executive chef Jagger Griffin. So is he asleep at the stove? Is he in the kitchen at all? I have to wonder, based on all the disappointing things I ate here.
Consider the "ocean" in Ocean Prime. With more than half of the seafood entrees priced at 30 bucks or more, the fish had better be exquisite. But none of it appealed to me...full story

In a unanimous decision, the FTC took no action on the most significant issue in its investigation: whether Google manipulates its search results to promote its own services and demote competitors'.
Google voluntarily agreed to remove restrictions on the use of its search-advertising platform, and to refrain from using rivals' content in specialized search results without their permission.
"Along with the FTC, our subcommittee will seek to make certain that Google abides by these common-sense commitments," Lee said.
As part of a separate investigation, the FTC concluded in a 4-1 vote that Google had abused its industry-standard patents and been overly aggressive in suing competitors.
The patents, which Google acquired when it purchased Motorola Mobility, cover technologies that companies across the industry use so that wireless devices can communicate with each other. Motorola had promised to license the patents on fair and reasonable terms.
Google agreed to a binding order that requires the company to go through third-party mediation before it can sue competitors over their use of the technologies.
Lee said he is committed to "helping ensure that standard-essential patents are not abused in an anticompetitive manner."
Sen. Patrick LeahyPatrick LeahyImmigration battlefield widens for Trump, GOP Grassley shouldn't allow Senate Democrats to block judicial nominees Trump's rhetoric and bluster could lose US an ally in Mexico MORE (D-Vt.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he is "disappointed" that the FTC allowed Google to make voluntary commitments instead of pushing for a binding legal order.
But not all lawmakers were critical of the decision. Silicon Valley Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D) and Anna Eshoo (D) said the commission struck the right balance.
"I'm pleased the FTC chose to complete its investigation of Google's search practices with an enforceable agreement to protect consumers without impermissibly expanding the jurisdictional reach of the FTC," Lofgren said.
Eshoo applauded the FTC decision not to pursue charges over search bias, saying a lawsuit could "hinder innovation and consumer choice."

Facts and Events
About Thomas "Carpenter" Simpson
Thomas Simpson (referred to as Thomas Simpson, "Carpenter" in some records), is considered to be a son of John Simpson (commonly referred to as John Simpson, "Scotsman of Aquia" who lived in Stafford County, Virginia). According to Simpson researchers, he appears to have married a daughter of Thomas Baxter (either Elizabeth or Jane). Some claim that he may have had a second wife named Jane, which he named in his will, listed below. Thomas and his wife had five proven children which were named in his will:
Thomas' children, Baxter, Thomas and Ann were mentioned as being "under age 18" in his will, and were probably born within a few years after 1717. His son William and daughter Mary were obviously a few years older (Mary had married John Woodward before 1729).
Will of Thomas Simpson
Thomas Simpson "Carpenter" wrote his will on 13 October 1734, and was dead by 19 February 1734/35. (Prince William County, Virginia Wills C, 1734-1744:16-17). A transcript follows (transcribed by Erick Montgomery on Genforum.com post):
In the name of God Amen the thirteenth day of October in the year of our Lord 1734 I Thomas Simson of Prince William County Carpenter being very sick & weak of body but Perfect in mind and memory thanks be to Almighty God for it and calling to mind the mortality of my Body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die I due make and ordain this my last Will and Testament, that is to say Principally and first of all I give and recomend my soul into the hands of Allmighty God that gave it and for my Body I recomend to the Earth to be buried in a Christian like and decent manner at the descretion of my Executor nothing doubting but at the Generall resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty Power of God as touching such worly Estate where with it has pleased God to bless me with in this life I give desire and dispose of the same in the following manner and form.

(Thomas Simson's Mark looked like a large T with a backwards S superimposed upon its leg).
Something can be assumed about this Thomas Simpson's age by the relationships stated in his will. First, he was a grandfather. Assuming that his daughter was at least 15 years of age when she married, and that she was at least 18 years old by the time she had her second child, she should have been born no later than 1716, and possibly before since she was already a widow. This pushes Thomas Simpson "Carpenter's" date of birth back into the 1690s, if not before. He therefore remains a possible candidate as the son of John Simpson, the Scotsman.

Simpson-Woodward-Robertson Connection Posted by: Erick Montgomery Date: September 09, 2000 at 20:46:13 In Reply to: John Simpson "Scotsman", Fairfax Co. VA. by Rexene Ashford Ornauer of 7138
WHEELING, WINN PARISH, LA. December 20, 1858. J.J. HOOPER, Esq.
"…My early ancestors of the name came from England, and settled in Maryland, under George Calverton, Baron of Baltimore. And near Annapolis, my great grandfather, Thomas Woodward, was born, and raised in Maryland. He raised a family of children by a first wife -- she died, and he went into Fairfax county, Virginia, and married my great grandmother, Elizabeth Simpson, the descendant of a Scotch family -- and Simpson is my middle name. Thomas Woodward and Elizabeth Simpson had one son, and called him Thomas, who was my grandfather. The old man returned to Maryland to move his other children to Virginia; he died on his visit to Maryland, and never returned, nor did his Maryland children ever get to Fairfax, but some years after their father's death, some of them went to Dinwiddy county, Virginia, and some to North Carolina; the North Carolina branch of the family has lost one letter in the name -- they spell the name with one W, instead of two…"
Although Thomas Simpson died in Prince William County in 1734, the land on Sandy Run that he devised to his children, among whom was Mary Woodward, fell into Fairfax County when it was created in 1742. The following deeds recorded in Fairfax County give the evidence that is needed to understand that Mary Woodward remarried to John Robertson, and that her son, Thomas Woodward (Jr.) was married to a woman named Jemima, and had a son named John.

James Scott of Dettingen Parish, Prince William County, Clerk, to Thomas Woodward of Fairfax County, planter in consideration of rents farm let ... plantation and Tract of land containing 188 acres being part of a larger tract belonging to James Scott on a hillside near branch of Bull Run during life of Thomas Woodward, Jemima, his wife, and John, his son after three years pay on feast of St. Luke the Evangelist being 18th October rent of 530 pounds of good and legal and merchantable Tobacco...

Bounded: Begining at Simpson's corner on Sandy Run, thence up the Run with the meanders to Peyton's Line, thence with Peyton's Line to a box Oak corner to said Peyton and Richard Wheeler, thence with Wheeler's line to Baxter Simpson's corner and from thence to the begining; Wits: Charles Thrift, John (X) Simpson /s/ Drummond Wheeler
Thomas Wheeler /s/ Jane (mark) Wheeler
At a Court held for the County of Fairfax 19th May 1794 proved by Charles Thrift, John Simpson and Thomas Wheeler. Jane relinquished her dower rights in Prince William County, April 4, 1794.
So, you can see that Thomas Simpson Woodward was correct in most of his reminiscences, but not in the given name of his great grandmother, Mary Simpson Woodward Robertson. If you can find evidence that she indeed lived to the age of 114, I would be very interested in knowing that source of information.
Once again, I want to acknowledge the collaboration of Rhoda Fone and Mary Gregg in compiling this research.

Thomas Simpson son of John the Scot Posted by: Erick Montgomery Date: August 31, 2000 at 20:17:06 In Reply to: John Simpson "Scotsman" - Part One by Rhoda Fone of 7138
We know that John the Scot had a son named Thomas from the deposition of Anne Gist, daughter of John Simpson, the Scotsman, as cited in Rhoda's information. That is collaborated by the deposition of Catherine Halley, also cited by Rhoda.
Ann Gist stated in her 1769 deposition that "the next two eldest Brothers of John Simpson and Sons of John Simpson Scotsman died about 50 years ago (as well as she remembers)." This suggests that both Thomas and George Simpson died around 1719, although Ann admitted that it was a rough estimate. (Ref: Prince William County, Virginia Land Causes, 1789-1793:40-41)
Catherine Halley made her deposition regarding the Simpsons in 1790, stating "she frequently heard the said John Simpson say that he had two brothers, one by the name of Thomas, the other George, and that they were both dead and Richard Simpson was the youngest brother and the only one then living." From this authoritative statement, we can infer that both Thomas and George Simpson were dead before 1740, when Catherine's mother, the widow Silent Jeffries married John Simpson, Jr., son of the Scotsman. Since Catherine Halley lived in the household of John Simpson "for many years," and did not remember either Thomas or George Simpson, brothers of her step-father, it seems certain that they both must have died in the 1730s or before. (Ref: Prince William County, Virginia Land Causes, 1789-1793:87-88, transcribed by Ruth and Sam Sparacio).
From the above, there seems to be no argument that John Simpson, the Scotsman had a son named Thomas, and that he died sometime before 1740. His birth certainly occurred after about 1680, the approximate year of birth of John Simpson, Jr., the eldest son, and before 1691, the year that Henry Thompson wrote his will and left property to "the three eldest sons now living of John Simpson in Aquia Creek Scotsman." But which Thomas Simpson was our subject? The extant records of Stafford and Prince William Counties suggest that there were at least two candidates. One died before 1733 and the other died in 1734 or 1735. Either one of these could be the one, or he could have been neither of them. Evidence for the two that left information will follow.
The first Thomas Simpson in the area died before 16 August 1733, as proven in the following record:
(Prince William Co., Va. DB ?B:98-100) Aug. 16, 1733. Wm. Hogan of Pr. Wm. & Elizabeth his wife to Mary Griffin of same, widdow, for 20 pds. current money, 409 acs. on the upper side of Piney Branch falling into Popes Head Run being one of the branches of Occoquan...granted to Walter Griffin dec'd., who by his last will devised it to Thos. Simpson for life who now being dead, the same reverts to Elizabeth as only sister & heir of sd. Walter ...deeds of lease & releas
Wits: Geo: Mason, Jas. Gib /s/ Wm. (W.H.) Hogan, Eliz. (E) Hogan
W. Watson
Acknowledged Aug. 17, 1733
Unfortunately, the will of Walter Griffin does not survive, and nothing else is known of this Thomas Simpson. As can be seen from the above, this gives no hint of his age, but his relative obscurity might suggest that he was young when he died. Even the date of his death cannot be determined, except that he must have been living at the time Walter Griffin wrote his will. Since it is missing, we don't know when that was, but we can say that Walter was living as late as 21 October 1728 when he received the following patent of land, which is the same parcel cites in the Hogan deed above:
(NN Pat Bk B:156) Oct. 21, 1728. Walter Griffen of Stafford Co., 409 acs. in Stafford on Piney Br. of Pope's Head Run of Occaquan.
Thus, we can say that the Thomas Simpson associated with the Griffins died after 21 October 1728, since this is the same tract that Walter Griffin willed to him for life; and this Thomas Simpson died before 16 August 1733, since William and Elizabeth Hogan stated that he was deceased at that time.
Whether Thomas Simpson was related to Walter Griffin is not stated, but seems possible. He apparently made another bequest in his now missing will to James Halley, who later stated that he was a nephew of Walter Griffin. The association with John Simpson, the Scotsman's family should be noted here, in that James Halley (1707-1792) married in the early 1730s to Elizabeth Simpson (1717-1785), daughter of Richard Simpson and granddaughter of John Simpson, the Scotsman. It should also be noted that Walter Griffin was actually a Junior, and a son of Walter Griffin, Sr., of Stafford County, Virginia who married the widow of Thomas Baxter, Sr. This link will become more apparent when we discuss the second Thomas Simpson, below. Mary, the widow of Walter Griffin, Jr., remarried to Lewis Ellzey. They Ellzeys would remain associates of the descendants of John Simpson, the Scotsman, in Fairfax County, Virginia for many decades.
Most Simpson genealogists have assumed that the other Thomas Simpson, known as "Carpenter," was the son of John Simpson, the Scotsman, primarily because the above mentioned Thomas Simpson was either unknown to them, or close enough examination had not been given to the precise dates involved with him. Perhaps it has been assumed that the two Thomas Simpsons were one and the same person. This, however, cannot be the case when closely comparing the extant records.
This Thomas Simpson , was granted 423 acres of land on both sides of Sandy Run in what was then Stafford County, Virginia on 6 June 1717 (Northern Neck Grants 5:141). Parts of this land would remain in possession of his direct descendants well into the 19th Century, providing clear evidence of their lineage in some of the latter deeds. This tract fell into Prince William County when it was created in 1730/31 and subsequently into Fairfax County in 1742, about seven years after Thomas' death, as shown below.
At some point before his death, Thomas Simpson "Carpenter" came into possession of another parcel of 250 acres, located on Occoquan Bay. It was part of an old patent of Thomas Baxter, Sr., which had been regranted to Thomas Baxter, Jr. on 14 December 1703. (Northern Neck Grants 3:6). Thomas Simpson's 250 acres was only a portion of Thomas Baxter's total grant of 1,907 acres. It has been suggested that Thomas Simpson "Carpenter" may have married a daughter of Thomas Baxter, and that he was likely the builder of the oldest extant house in Fairfax County located on the same tract and later known as "Belmont Plantation." (See Moxham, Belmont Plantation on the Occoquan, pp. 4-5). Although there does seem to be circumstantial evidence because of this parcel of land, and the fact that Thomas Simpson "Carpenter" named one of his sons Baxter Simpson, no documentation has surfaced to prove that such a marriage actually occurred. Thomas Simpson "Carpenter" sold this 250 acre tract on 28 May 1734 to Catesby Cocke, Esq. (Prince William County, Virginia Deeds B:284).
The first discussed Thomas Simpson left no evidence regarding his age that has surfaced so far. Unless evidence can be found that he was born after 1791, he also cannot be ruled out as a son of John Simpson, the Scotsman. It is sincerely hoped that additional documentation will come to light that will help to determine which Thomas is a son of the Scotsman, whether it be one of these two men, or another one still not identified.

Comedian Gallagher
out of coma, joking
LEWISVILLE, Texas (AP) -- The comedian Gallagher is telling jokes after being taken out of a medically induced coma that doctors put him in following his heart attack last week in Texas.
Doctors slowly woke up Gallagher on Sunday morning. His promotional manager, Christine Scherrer, says Gallagher immediately recognized his family and started talking to them. She says he's breathing on his own, moving and joking around.
The comedian, whose full name is Leo Anthony Gallagher, is known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer.
Scherrer says Gallagher had two stents replaced after collapsing Wednesday before a performance at Lewisville bar, near Dallas. Gallagher had a minor heart attack last March after collapsing while performing in Minnesota.
Scherrer isn't sure how long Gallagher will remain hospitalized. She says he appreciates his fans' thoughts and prayers.
Jerry Lewis celebrates
86th birthday in style
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jerry Lewis did not turn 86 quietly.
The comedian and filmmaker flew in to New York from Las Vegas for an hours-long celebration Friday night.
It started with an onstage interview at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y, then continued in midtown at the Friars Club, where hundreds gathered to sing happy birthday to Lewis, who added his trademark goofy voice. Wearing a dark blazer and bright red shirt, Lewis sat at a corner table in the club's Frank Sinatra room, with Richard Belzer and Robert Klein among those at his table. His meal included a slice of birthday cake, a three-tiered production decorated with movie stills, a microphone and miniatures of the performer.
Lewis is known for such movies as "The Nutty Professor," and for hosting the Muscular Dystrophy Association's telethon.
Rapper told to cut
grass at mansion
KENNER, La. (AP) -- Lil Wayne has been told to cut his grass.
The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/yxftea ) reports the rapper was cited for high grass and weeds at his 10,000-square-foot mansion in a gated subdivision in Kenner, La., a suburb of New Orleans.
The Code Enforcement Department issued the ticket to Dwayne Carter, the New Orleans-born singer's given name, sometime between Feb. 26 and March 2, according to a list released by the city.
The home is on sale for $1.7 million. Listed as a "celebrity" mansion, the house has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two half baths and a "beautiful, spacious open floor plan."
Among the house's amenities are a four-car garage, a theater and movie room, an entertainment bar, a pool house. The master suite has a fireplace with his and her baths and a steam room sauna and Jacuzzi.
Oprah pulls the plug
on 'The Rosie Show'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Oprah Winfrey's OWN network is pulling the curtain on "The Rosie Show" after five months on the air.
The show premiered in October to about 500,000 viewers but lost about half that audience within days of its debut.
Recently, it changed the format from taping before a studio audience to a one-on-one interview setting with celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, Chelsea Handler and former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich.
In a statement released by OWN, Winfrey thanked O'Donnell. She called O'Donnell "an incredible partner" who worked to put on the best show "every single day."
O'Donnell also was quoted as saying she loved working with Winfrey and in Chicago and "wished" the show had better ratings. The final episode will air March 30.
Flavor Flav to open
Vegas restaurant
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Entertainer and reality TV star Flavor Flav is returning to Las Vegas to open a fried chicken and soul food takeout restaurant.
The one-time member of the rap group Public Enemy is holding opening ceremony Thursday evening at Flavor Flav's House of Flavor, a few blocks southeast of downtown Las Vegas.
It's the night before the 53rd birthday for the celebrity whose public persona is as big as the clock he wears on his chest.
His real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., and he's tried the chicken restaurant recipe before.
A short-lived franchise dubbed Flav's Fried Chicken opened and closed last year in Clinton, Iowa.
An announcement says the Las Vegas store isn't associated with the one in Iowa.
