Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies
The Blind Men and the Elephant
This episode picks up the story in the wake of the declaration of a "war on cancer" by Richard Nixon in 1971 and the search for a cure. In the lab, rapid progress is made in understanding the essential nature of the cancer cell, leading to the revolutionary discovery of the genetic basis of cancer, but few new therapies become available.

Warsaw (Nov. 14)
Anti-Jewish excesses were reported today in a number of cities in the district of Posnania, all of them not far from the German border.
In Oborniki, rioters ranged through the town smashing windows of Jewish-owned shops and shouting demands that Jews leave.
In the towns of Leszno and Wronki posters were put up urging a boycott against Jews. In Rawicz a mob attacked a number of Jewish homes, crying, "Bolsheviks, go back to Russia."
A number of Jewish houses were wrecked in Czernkowo and several Jews were beaten up.

The United Kingdom government last Wednesday launched its progress report on "Transformational Government: Enabled by Technology" with the news that at least 551 government Web sites are to be cut to make access to information easier for citizens and businesses. "The Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council has been working to identify barriers that prevent the sharing of services, and a report has been produced on breaking down these barriers," said the report.
In a move that is believed to benefit tens of millions of users, only 26 of the Web sites examined so far will be retained by the government, while 551 will go. Information of continuing importance from closed sites will transfer to the U.K. government's Directgov and Business Link Web sites.
The report is the first of its kind in Europe and shows that transformation in government is a long-term endeavor involving tough challenges. "We are at the beginning of the Transformational Government strategy and we recognize that we have more to do," said John Suffolk, U.K. CIO. "We operate in over 140 countries, spend some 12 billion pounds ($23 billion) a year across the whole public sector and run many of the world's largest computer systems ... it's a complex operation."
Use of government IT has now reached a critical mass and ordinary citizens are at the heart of this new way of working. "But today people won't accept a service handed down from on high. They want to shape it to their needs, and the reality of their lives...," said Prime Minister Tony Blair in a speech at the Labour Party Conference in September 2006. As an important aspect of this "Customer-Centric" attitude towards services provided by the government, the Service Design Authority established the Customer Insight Forum designed as "a network to help government gather, analyze and use information about the needs and preferences of citizens and businesses more effectively."
The Minister for Transformational Government, Pat McFadden, said, "This report demonstrates how millions of people are benefiting from our use of technology everyday. We are dealing decisively with the proliferation of government Web sites by getting rid of more than 500. We are ensuring that the quality of our services will not be affected by these changes."

SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Even in Fog, Finish the Game
By Dave Anderson
Published: January 2, 1989
BUFFALO— EVER since the Buffalo Bills emerged as a Super Bowl contender, pro football people wondered what the weather would be like here on Jan. 1 for a playoff game. Surely zero degrees. Maybe snow. But yesterday turned up sunny and warm. At least sunny and warm for Buffalo at this time of year: 33 degrees at the kickoff with hardly any wind. And hardly any earmuffs.
But as the Bills advanced to the American Conference championship game in Cincinnati next Sunday with a 17-10 victory over the Houston Oilers, nobody was talking about the weather here. They were too busy still talking about the weather Saturday in Chicago when fog shrouded the Bears' 20-12 victory in controversy: Should that game have been stopped?
Despite the fog, the view here is that finishing Saturday's game was the correct decision.
Through the years, pro football games have been played in snowstorms and rainstorms, in icy weather with Arctic wind-chill factors and in exhausting heat. That's pro football. And those are the games that seem to define pro football better than anything else. Those are the games fans talk about for years. Those are the games that the lore of pro football cherishes.
Players not being able to see that clearly in a fog wasn't that much different than players not being able to see that clearly in a snowstorm or a rainstorm.
In 1948 the Philadelphia Eagles won the National Football League title in a blizzard, 7-0, over the Chicago Cardinals in Shibe Park. Dozens of games have been played in downpours. Others have been played in inhumane cold, notably the 1981 American Conference championship game in Cincinnati when the wind-chill factor dropped to 59 degrees below zero.
But fog had never so affected any N.F.L. game as it did last Saturday.
Acording to Jim Tunney, the referee, the Bear and Eagle players had enough visibility for the game to continue after the fog rolled off Lake Michigan in the last two minutes of the first half. Tunney insisted that he could always see at least 50 yards ahead, although those on one sideline sometimes couldn't see the other sideline, 53 1/2 yards across the field.
''If Tunney had said both teams can't see the ball,'' Commissioner Pete Rozelle was saying here yesterday, ''we would've had to suspend the game. Hopefully temporarily.''
Despite the Eagles' loss, their coach, Buddy Ryan, did not use the fog as an alibi. He accepted the fog as just another weather problem comparable to snow or rain. He also knew that before the fog rolled in, the Eagles made enough mistakes to cost them the game. And if Randall Cunningham, the Eagle quarterback, was able to pass for more than 400 yards, he must have been able to find his receivers in the fog.
Every so often a pro football game has been stopped because of lightning. But in a lightning storm, the safety of everybody in the stadium is in jeopardy: fans, players, coaches, officials. Fog at a stadium doesn't affect anybody's safety.
In other years, fluffs of fog have occasionally descended on pro football games. At Super Bowl XIX in Stanford Stadium, wisps floated in during the second half. Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers once scored five touchdowns in a misty 1965 game in Baltimore. In a 1965 Western Conference playoff in Green Bay, Don Chandler kicked an overtime field goal through some fog to eliminate the Colts, who griped that the kick was wide.
If it took 69 seasons for fog to affect a N.F.L. game, chances are it won't happen again soon. But if fog were too thick for the Bears and the San Francisco 49ers to see the ball next Sunday at Soldier Field in the National Conference championship game, Rozelle would invoke a temporary suspension. Meaning for an hour or two, if the weather forecasters think the fog will lift by then.
''When our people checked with the National Weather Bureau on Saturday,'' Rozelle said, ''if we had been told that the fog would lift in an hour, we might've suspended the game and hoped they were right. But when we were told that the fog wouldn't lift for at least two or three hours, we thought that as long as Tunney told us there was enough visibility, it was best to keep playing.''
Suspending a game temporarily for an hour or two and then finishing it is understandable. But suspending a game and resuming it the next day would create problems, especially for ticket-holders who had discarded their tickets.
The basic philosophy in any sport is to finish a game if at all possible. Not for the spectators, not for the television audience. But for the integrity of that particular game, no matter what the sport. Once interrupted or suspended, a game in any sport is never quite the same. The fog in Chicago was the same for both teams, just as the relatively warm weather here yesterday was the same for both teams.
Jerry Glanville, the coach of the Oilers, a hothouse team from the Astrodome, agreed that ''the weather couldn't have been any better.'' But the Bills' defense and special teams also couldn't have been any better.
Throughout the Bills' first playoff game in Rich Stadium and their first home playoff game in 22 years, their 79,532 loyalists waved red-white-and-blue pompons. But now the Bills must win without all those fans next Sunday in Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati where they lost, 35-21, during the season.
''The Bengals are, no question, the best A.F.C. team we faced,'' said Marv Levy, the Bills' coach. ''We faced the Bears, but they're a team of a different nature. And the Bengals are pretty close. When we played them, we lost a turnover battle. We can't do that if we want to win this time.''
Over the New Year's weekend, the N.F.L. got lucky with the weather in its Super Bowl tournament. But at this time of year the weather in the Midwest seldom stays warm for long. It might be much colder next Sunday in Chicago and Cincinnati. But if it is, at least there won't be any fog.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery believes his team has returned to form defensively. It would appear to be good timing with a matchup against its in-state rival on the horizon.
Before playing at high-scoring Iowa State later in the week, the 23rd-ranked Hawkeyes will try to avoid overlooking Fairleigh Dickinson on Monday night in the first meeting between the schools.
Iowa (9-1) allowed an average of 57.1 points on 32.7 percent shooting during its 7-0 start, but gave up a combined 165 in regulation and a 47.3 field-goal percentage while splitting its next two games.
Those struggles continued Saturday in Des Moines when Drake shot 62 percent from the floor in the first 15 minutes and hit eight 3-pointers en route to a 40-39 lead in the Big Four Classic.
The Hawkeyes, however, tightened things up with a 10-0 run to take a 49-40 lead into intermission. They went on to hold the Bulldogs to nine field goals and 26 points in the second half en route to an 83-66 victory.
"That was a key part of the game, that run," McCaffery told the team's official website. "We were working hard and they were executing and got some clean looks at 3. ... Our defense was substantially better in the second half in defending ball screens and contesting looks."
Melsahn Basabe led the Hawkeyes with 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds, while Roy Devyn Marble and Peter Jok scored 14 apiece. Marble, averaging a team-high 16.5 points, is second among Big Ten players with 2.4 steals per game.
The Hawkeyes rank in the nation's top 10 in points (89.3) and assists (17.9) per game, as well as in scoring margin (plus-24.6).
Dating to last season, they've won 15 straight at home by an average of 20.2 points. Iowa also seeks its 22nd consecutive home win against non-conference opponents and 25th in a row there against unranked foes.
Despite their recent issues, the Hawkeyes still have the nation's fourth-ranked field goal percentage defense (36.4). They should be able to stay on track against Fairleigh Dickinson, which has averaged 58.3 points and shot 42.4 percent over its last three games.
The Knights (3-8) hit on just 37.3 percent of their shots and missed 12 of 15 from 3-point range in a 77-55 loss at Princeton on Saturday. They've dropped five of seven on the road, winning at Rutgers and Seton Hall but losing by 50 points at No. 2 Arizona.
"I am very proud of how hard our team competes night in and night out versus this high-level competition," coach Greg Herenda told the team's official website. "Now we pack our bags and head to Iowa to take on another national power. I am confident that these experiences will only help us be prepared for March."
Iowa will have to keep an eye on Sidney Sanders Jr., who leads Fairleigh Dickinson with 18.9 points per game. The senior guard, who scored a game-high 23 in Saturday's loss, seeks his fifth straight 20-point game.
The Knights figure to have their hands full with the Hawkeyes on the boards. While Fairleigh Dickinson has a minus-10.1 rebounding margin, Iowa ranks second among Big Ten teams with a plus-8.9 mark.
The Hawkeyes hope to take care of business before playing on the road Friday against a ranked Iowa State team in one of the most highly-anticipated matchups in the history of the rivalry.

#7: Celgene
Industry: Biotechnology
Year-to-Date Returns: 91%
Celgene (CELG) is a specialized biotech company that focuses on treatments for small patient pools suffering from cancers and blood disorders. While there may not be a whole lot of candidates for Celgene's drugs, the reality is there aren't a lot of alternatives, and the treatments are very costly — and thus, high-margin products.
Celgene kicked off 2012 with a bunch of analyst upgrades and high hopes for its product pipeline, which includes new treatments for cancer and inflammatory diseases. And while the stock appears to be aggressively valued based on current profits, it's undeniable that there is a lot of potential in future sales.
Celgene is growing its sales at roughly $1 billion a year. And consider this: 2012 profits were a little less than double 2010 profits, 2013 profits should be roughly double 2011 numbers, and projections for 2014 are roughly double what CELG earned in 2012.
A company that is expected to double its profits every two years is clearly a powerful investment, and Wall Street has already targeted CELG as one of its best stocks so far this year.

>Suggestions and Feature Requests>Search by average pace
Cool as a Cucumber
Can you add a feature to let me search by average pace of a run? I'd like to track why some runs are worse than others (specifically, why some runs REALLY SUCK).
The pavement fears me.

The Cafe Achteck (Cafe Octagon) is one of those increasingly rare institutions which is entirely free. Inside it's spartan, at best; you won't find much in the way of comforts. However, it was designed to accommodate a single basic human need. I'm afraid I have to admit it is rather discriminatory (sorry ladies!).
Once there were more than 150 of these charming, green cast iron "octagonal cafes" around Berlin. They first became part of the city landscape in the 1870s when Berlin experienced a burgeoning population of young men, drawn to the city on promises of work. City officials faced a sanitation crisis and the Cafe Achteck was born.
War took its toll on the city and many pissoirs were damaged beyond repair. In West Berlin a few were maintained; in the East they were largely forgotten. In the 1990s most of those remaining were given protected status and the private firm Wall AG began renovating them as a public service.
Today many still retain their original purpose – a few have been transformed into Imbiss (snack) stands, burger joints or flower shops. Next time you happen by Schlesisches Tor, check out the ever popular Burgermeister – which once, despite its shape, offered a wider range of services than the traditional Cafe Achteck but now serves up some of the best hamburgers from a former toilet under an U-bahn track in the world!
Here are my top pit stops:

Berliner Straße, Tegel
Chamissoplatz, Kreuzberg

WHAT LOS ANGELES ATTORNEY MICKEY WHEATLEY HATES IN A garden is the big showy blooms that most everyone else loves. So three years ago, right after buying his first house, he set out to uproot the prize roses the previous owners had planted. While neighbors looked on in horror, he tore out the camellias too. In their place he put California poppies, fragrant sage and drought-tolerant manzanita. "Where everything is lush and green, maybe it's appropriate to grow roses," explains Wheatley. "But here it just doesn't feel right. For me it's almost a spiritual thing. The plants in my garden belong...

2013 Draft Prep: Luck indicator targets to pursue or avoid
When should you start trusting the "lucky" players? Our Al Melchior takes a look at luck indicators to help you find some hidden gems on Draft Day.
When a young player takes a huge step forward, we call it a breakout, and when an older veteran takes a nosedive, we call it decline. Sometimes, though, a player experiences a notable change in production for no discernable reason. That presents a challenge for Fantasy owners trying to make sense of that player's value for the following season.
A certain portion of a player's stat line is the result of random fluctuations -- just simple luck. Some stats are more prone to random shifts than others, and when those shifts are large, they can be indications of a coming regression. For batters, batting average on balls in play (BABIP) can be used as an indicator of luck, and to a lesser extent, changes in home run-to-flyball ratio (HR/FB) can be a sign of good or bad fortune. For pitchers, BABIP is also a good luck indicator, as is strand rate.
Understanding luck indicators can be a help on Draft Day, steering you away from players due to for a fall and towards players poised to surge. For example, a year ago, Hunter Pence was 13th among outfielders with an average draft position (ADP) of 59 in mixed Rotisserie leagues, but his 2011 BABIP of .365 looked too good to be true, especially since his rates usually hovered just above .300. Pence failed to deliver on the value of his ADP, winding up as the 59th most productive outfielder. Conversely, a .239 BABIP in 2011 left Alex Rios as the 58th most-popular outfielder (231 ADP) in Roto, yet he finished as the fifth-most productive player at the position in 2012.
While these are extreme examples, BABIP rates and other luck indicators can be useful tools for judging a player's true value for the coming year when they were out of line with career or major league norms during the previous season. Even if your drafts for this year are over, you can use luck indicators to your advantage to trade away over-valued players or acquire under-valued ones. Below are 10 players who are currently being over- or under-valued because many owners are ignoring the impact that luck had on their 2012 seasons. I've omitted players (e.g., A.J. Pierzynski , Adam Wainwright ) whose unexpected 2012 performances are already being discounted by Fantasy owners. The 10 featured here could genuinely surprise Fantasy owners, though those aware of their luck indicators can get a step ahead of the coming regression.
Andrew McCutchen , OF, Pirates
Impact of luck in 2012: McCutchen posted a .379 BABIP, thanks to an other-worldly .348 batting average on grounders. McCutchen did not make progress as a contact hitter, and jumping from 23 home runs in 2011 to 31 last year does not account for his career-high .327 batting average.
Forecast for 2013: McCutchen's average may not crack .290, and at that level, he doesn't warrant being drafted among the top five outfielders in Rotisserie, though he is currently fourth in ADP. He is not making it to the second round in many 12-team leagues, but let another owner reach for him in the first round.
Miguel Montero , C, Diamondbacks
Impact of luck in 2012: Montero's longer plate appearances resulted in more walks but also more strikeouts. Those got masked by a .364 BABIP that left his batting average at .286, even though he struck out 33 more times in seven fewer at-bats.
Forecast for 2013: Montero is at risk of losing 20 points or more off his batting average, leading him to be drafted at least two rounds too early (current 145 ADP) in Rotisserie leagues.
Dustin Ackley , 2B, Mariners
Impact of luck in 2012: As a rookie, Ackley overachieved with a .343 BABIP, but last season's regression to a .265 mark from last season was overkill. His .050 BABIP on flyballs in particular is sure to improve.
Forecast for 2013: Because Ackley got shortchanged on flyballs, he should not only be able to raise his overall batting average, but also provide a big boost to his doubles and triples totals. Last season's bad luck on balls in play could be a factor in Ackley being drafted too late in both Roto (197 ADP) and Head-to-Head (174 ADP).
Drew Stubbs , OF, Indians
Impact of luck in 2012: As Stubbs has become more of a ground ball hitter over the last two seasons, he has lost value to be sure, but he's better than a .213 hitter. His 30 stolen bases show that he didn't become slow, yet his batting average on grounders fell by 80 points, from .327 to .247.
Forecast for 2013: Stubbs may only rebound into the .230s, but that should be enough to make him a viable late-rounder in Rotisserie leagues, due to his potential for a fourth-straight 30-plus steals season. He has been largely overlooked outside of deeper leagues up to this point.
Melvin Upton , OF, Braves
Impact of luck in 2012: Upton increased his HR/FB ratio for the third straight season, raising it from 12 to 16 percent, but he needed a red-hot month-and-a-half at the end of the season to do that. Given how dependent he was on a hot streak to boost his numbers, Upton's outsized power gains look more than a little suspicious.
Forecast for 2013: Especially with Upton settling into the peak phase of his career, it's more plausible that he will finish with a home run total in the low 20s, rather than build on his late 2012 "breakout." His propensity for strikeouts may be causing Head-to-Head owners to put the brakes on drafting him, but Upton is going far too early (79 ADP) in Roto leagues.
Mark Reynolds , 1B, Indians
Impact of luck in 2012: Over the previous three seasons, Reynolds had launched roughly 20 percent of his flyballs for home runs, but last year that ratio dropped to 16 percent. He hit for his typical power in the second half, which further suggests that Reynolds' HR/FB dip was the artifact of a protracted slump and not a long-term decline in his power skills.
Forecast for 2013: With his move to Cleveland, Reynolds traded in a good hitting environment in Baltimore for a stadium that is tough on righties. Then again, he hasn't relied on gaudy home splits, either as an Oriole or as a Diamondback, to put up big power numbers. With his HR/FB due to rebound, Reynolds should be a 30-homer threat yet again, but he's not being drafted like one.
Ivan Nova , SP, Yankees
Impact of luck in 2012: Nova didn't do himself any favors last season in posting a nondescript 46 percent ground ball rate, but that alone shouldn't have resulted in him allowing 28 home runs over 170 1/3 innings. Former teammate A.J. Burnett was notorious for his troubles with the long ball when he was a Yankee, but even he typically posted HR/FB ratios lower than Nova's 14 percent from last year. Nova also posted a .337 BABIP which is highly likely to shrink this season.
Forecast for 2013: Nova may correct his problems by reverting to a higher ground ball rate, but even if he doesn't, he should be able to do a better job of limiting homers and hits in general and lowering his ERA and WHIP. While Nova will have to fend off David Phelps for the fifth starter's job once Phil Hughes (back) returns from the disabled list, he is worth a flyer as one of the top 100 starting pitchers -- a distinction he does not currently own in Rotisserie drafts.
Mike Minor , SP, Braves
Impact of luck in 2012: As a flyball pitcher, owners can expect Minor to record a lower-than-average BABIP, but his .260 mark from last year was too far from the majors' .297 norm to be credible. A 1.15 WHIP that resulted from that low hit rate allowed Minor to finish among the top 50 starting pitchers in Rotisserie last season.
Forecast for 2013: This year, Minor is clocking in as a top 40 starting pitcher in mixed Rotisserie drafts, but with some WHIP regression likely in his future, he could frustrate owners looking for a repeat of or improvement over last season.
Jordan Zimmermann , SP, Nationals
Impact of luck in 2012: There is no question that Zimmermann has great control and is highly efficient, and owners can trust his back-to-back sub-1.20 WHIPs. However, his 2.94 ERA was far lower than his 3.87 xFIP suggests it should have been. A 78 percent strand rate was at the heart of the discrepancy, and not many pitchers can replicate a rate that high in consecutive seasons.
Forecast for 2013: Owners may expect Zimmermann to have a third straight season with an ERA close to 3.00, but he may not benefit from an unusually-low HR/FB ratio like he had in 2011 or a low strand rate like he had last year. Look for Zimmermann to finish with a mid-3.00s ERA to go along with a low WHIP.
Scott Feldman , SP, Cubs
Impact of luck in 2012: Feldman has always had problems with stranding baserunners, but last season's 64 percent rate with the Rangers was low, even for him. He posted a career-high 7.0 K/9 rate while walking only 2.3 batters per nine innings, but his reward was a 5.09 ERA.
Forecast for 2013: Because of the lack of upside for strikeouts, Feldman is not a solid option for standard mixed leagues, but in deeper mixed leagues, he deserves more consideration. He has been hit hard this spring, which will further depress his value, but Feldman is worth a late-round pickup in deeper formats, as he could put up a better ERA and WHIP than his recent track record would indicate.

MOSCOW (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on Tuesday took a dip in water from the world's largest freshwater lake and visited an aircraft factory in eastern Siberia, leaving his armored train en route to meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
The North Korean leader stepped out of his train in Ulan-Ude, the capital of Buryatia, a Buddhist province near Lake Baikal, early Tuesday. His motorcade soon left for a picturesque village on the shores of Baikal.
Kim took a two-hour Baikal tour on a yacht guarded by two North Korean boats, the Inform Polis Online website reported quoting eye-witness accounts. The water in Baikal is ice-cold even in summertime, so Kim had to take a swim onshore — in a pool filled with Baikal water. The speaker of Buryatia's legislature joined Kim in the swim, the news website reported.
On the shore, the North Korean leader was treated to traditional Buryat food including meat dumplings and Baikal fish prepared over an open fire.
Later on Tuesday, Kim went back to Ulan-Ude to visit a major aircraft factory, which among other things produces Sukhoi attack planes, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported from the plant.
Kim is expected to meet Medvedev Wednesday for talks that could focus on a natural gas pipeline deal. The pipeline would stream Russian natural gas through the North's territory to the South. South Korea media said the North could earn up to $100 million every year, but negotiations haven't reported much progress because of a standoff over North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, however, raised worries Monday that the North could abruptly shut down the gas supply if relations deteriorated with the South.
The North Korean leader's visit is shrouded in mystery. A few people managed to take photos of Kim at his previous stop on Sunday, but heavy police cordons kept the media and onlookers in Ulan-Ude away from the train station and the adjacent square.
Anna Ogorodnik, a photographer from Ulan-Ude, told the Associated Press by phone that nearby streets were full of riot police. The station square looked clean and deserted after authorities had tugged away cars and local buses.
The windows of the station building overlooking the tracks were plastered with sheets of paper and station employees had been ordered to stay indoors, Ogorodnik said.
The photographer said she had been detained after trying to take pictures. She was released after she had presented her journalist ID.
The station square remains cordoned off and Kim's train is still at the station, Ogorodnik said.
It is Kim's first visit to his country's Cold War ally in nine years.
Russian military officials arrived in the North Korean capital on Monday for a five-day visit. The Russian Defense Ministry said the talks will focus on the renewal of military cooperation between the countries, possible joint exercises "of a humanitarian nature" and an exchange of friendly visits by Russian and North Korean ships, ITAR-Tass reported from Pyongyang.
The itinerary for Kim's visit, expected to last about a week, has been largely kept secret because of what appears to be high security concern from North Korea.
Hyung-jin Kim, Foster Klug and Jiyoung Won reported from Seoul, South Korea.

(CBS News) Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Junot Diaz, author of "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao," "Drown" and his latest book, "This is How You Lose Her," received a $500,000 MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" Monday night. He was among the 23 people who were being recognized for showing exceptional creativity in their work.
Diaz said the award is going to change his life. "It's sort of like someone cutting the little leash around your ankle. It gives you an enormous amount of time and room. It really is like - I told a friend of mine, it's like finding an extra bedroom to your apartment."
Diaz, who writes about the immigrant experience, said he writes about a common theme found in life. He said on "CBS This Morning," "I think that there's something about shifting worlds, coming from one world to the next that, for a lot of people, it strikes a chord. Even if you didn't come from another country, the idea of how do you make a home somewhere new is common to anyone who's either going to college, shifting towns. It makes explicit something that I think many of us feel closely. (And) simultaneously being part of two cultures."

The fall issue of Edible Sarasota was a delectable introduction to autumn in Southwest Florida.
I drooled over the descriptions of Courto's Katas (homemade caramels, brittles and toffees) in the magazine's always-fun Small Bites section.
The Edible Events calendar made me want to jump into the pumpkin patch at Hunsader Farms for the annual festival.
I also learned about the Australian red claw crayfish that are being bred at North Port's West Coast Aqua Farms. What a heartwarming story about the owners! I can't wait to make a trip to South Sarasota County to try the crayfish and meet the amazing people behind the operation.
How about Chianti chef Al Massa's pan-roasted local American red snapper with Gulf shrimp and fire-roasted corn-radish agrodolce? Yum.
And the sustainable slant at the Waterfront Restaurant on Anna Maria Island—simply inspiring!
I read the mag from cover to cover, but I'm going to have to set it aside now. I have a lot of recipes to attempt and gorgeous fall weather to enjoy!

So after the movie does come out will anyone do a study to determine if Matt was right? For what it's worth, I'm in the 'shine a bright light on it' camp. But, since I've been wrong before it would be an interesting study. I don't know how it would be set up. Simply looking at commercial success might tell us something but I'm thinking you'd need exit polling to get any meaningful data. There would be a certain amount of Schadenfreude if it could be determined that 'yes, we've given them some additional bodies in the seats BUT they come out realizing what a piece of crap it is'. I think the DI would be better off if this were to whither and die rather than become a public mockery.

I am waiting for the reviews to start showing up at rottentomatoes.com
When does Michael Shermer's review come out?
The Expelled folks are going to have to post guards to ensure that people entering showings of their movie have matching ticket stubs. Otherwise most of us will sashay in (if we bother to see the movie at all, just for kicks) carrying tickets for other films in the cineplex. After all, most of us are nonbelievers and therefore have no moral code! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! (Sorry: briefly overcome by evil laughter.)

The MST3k people spent years honing their craft. It might be easier to make a short video called, let's say, "Expelled in Three Minutes." Imagine Ben Stein's voice narrating like this:
"Intelligent Design is awesome. It keeps your children safe from uncomfortable ideas. What you don't want, is Charles Darwin. He is the anthropomorphic embodiment of pure evil. In the Garden of Eden, Charles Darwin took the form of a snake and fed the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to Eve, damning us all to live in suffering. Charles Darwin walked the Earth in Roman times and made the Jews kill Jesus. . . .
"Now, Charles Darwin's spirit flies through the night sky like a flock of bats, biasing the decisions of tenure committees, and materializing as a beautiful succubus in little girls' bedrooms to turn them into lesbians. . . .

Yahoo Movies is obviously using a news release when it says:
Though Ben Stein may be best known as the droning teacher in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF or for hosting an eponymous game show, he displays his own intellectual prowess in this documentary. EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED finds Stein investigating the snubbing of scientists and teachers who teach the theory of intelligent design. Stein, a former presidential speech writer, goes toe to toe with Darwin's biggest fans, including THE GOD DELUSION author Richard Dawkins, in an effort to expose the widespread prejudice against those who believe in God's role in creation.
Release Date: April 18th, 2008 (limited)
MPAA Rating: PG
I can't imagine the multiplexes here in Socal (even in Mormon and Fundie loving South Orange County) wasting much theater space on this one. I'll bet the release will be VERY limited. I doubt I'll get a chance to see it in a theater by paying or by paying for another movie and sneaking in, even if I really really wanted to. Maybe it plays at a one of the few places that play the foreign and indie films (there are maybe 3 of them south of Santa Ana).

Excellent. You're scriptwriter.
For someone who is very, very sensitive to the incendiary effect of saying the word "atheism" to fundamentalist Christians, Matt Nisbet has been surprisingly naive about the incendiary effect of saying the words "shut up" to atheists. If he really had wanted outspoken atheists to shut up, I think he would have framed it differently.

Is there even ONE regular here who will support this man for the Presidency?
the fucking asswipe had his chance to repeat his clarion call for the republicans to move away from the religionuts, like he did in the 2000 election.
back then, he found out that it hurt his nomination chances to insult the religiotards, so I can at least understand, if most assuredly not approve, his kowtowing to them (to the point of actually changing his fucking religion!) in this election cycle.
However, he has the nomination wrapped. There is no political benefit to him to continue being so damn hypocritical. He doesn't need to placate the fundies; even if he declared he was an apostate of satan, the fundies would still vote for him over hillary or obama.
He now HAS his chance to wean his party away from the insanity they have so heavily bathed in over the last 20 years.
that he is NOT using that chance, and instead appears to be doing the exact opposite now is damning.
even if I was a republican, I'd never vote for someone so obviously hypocritical and undermining of his own party.
not that I haven't had the same thought of hypocrisy directed towards actions of the two demo nominees, either.
#47 ichthyic March 30, 2008
Ichthyic, I'd bet that when they do the math, the lower risk approach is the one he is taking. There is a real risk that they will lose 'some' of the more moderate religious folks to the 'religious left' as well as the hard cores simply sitting this election out.
#48 rmp March 30, 2008
OK, I don't know how I did that by #47 was from me. I don't think Ichthyic is really talking to himself(herself).

oh, I have little doubt you're right about that, really.
doesn't mean he can't take a small risk to do what's right, though, and that's really what pisses me off about McCain more than anything else.
you'd think someone with his background would have learned better by now.
again, he's lost his focus entirely from what it was just a few years ago.

A Federal Court judge has been urged to stop a court case involving a multi-million dollar payment to the family of corrupt former Labor MP Eddie Obeid from turning into a "media circus" by re-airing sensational material before a corruption inquiry.
On Monday, Justice Lindsay Foster began hearing a case brought by Sydney businessman Denis O'Neil to recover his $8 million investment in Cascade Coal, a company linked to the Obeid family.
It is one of the first court cases brought as a result of the Independent Commission Against Corruption's inquiry into a coal licence over the Obeid family's Bylong Valley farm.
Mr O'Neil claims he was the victim of misleading or deceptive conduct because he was not told that Cascade would use his money as part of a $30 million payment to the Obeids to buy out their stake in a mining joint-venture over the property.
The ICAC found last year that five of Cascade Coal's current and former directors - coal mogul Travers Duncan, RAMS Home Loans founder John Kinghorn, former Krispy Kreme Australia chief executive John McGuigan, investment banker Richard Poole and businessman John Atkinson - acted corruptly by concealing the Obeids' involvement in the mining venture.
Mr O'Neil originally sued all five businessmen but the case has since been dropped against all of them except Mr Duncan.
Mr Duncan's barrister, Robert Newlinds, SC, objected on Monday to lawyers for Mr O'Neil using the ICAC report and transcripts of Mr Duncan's evidence to the corruption watchdog as evidence in court.
"You shouldn't from day one allow our learned friends to conduct some sort of re-run of ICAC," Mr Newlinds said.
He agreed that the material was already in the public domain but said "that doesn't mean the press won't re-hash it all".
Mr Newlinds said the corruption inquiry, codenamed Operation Jasper, had generated "massive publicity" and the court case "will again".
In November 2010, Cascade entered into an agreement with broking company Southern Cross Equities to raise $28 million in equity. Mr O'Neil's investment formed part of this.
He claims he was told the funds would be used "to reduce third-party debt and creditors" and was unaware the money would go to the Obeids.
He is also suing Southern Cross Equities and prominent stockbroker Peter Gray, who helped raise the $28 million.
Cascade Coal is being sued in a cross-claim by Southern Cross Equities.
Andrew Bell, SC, the barrister for Cascade, urged Justice Foster not to allow the case to "descend to a media circus".
"This is not ICAC; it is not a re-run," Dr Bell said.
The hearing is expected to run for up to five weeks.

Eight days after the massacre of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary, where each child was shot with a Bushmaster .223, The Nation's Gun Show, the biggest east of the Mississippi, opened.
"A line already snaked around the building shortly after the three-day event began at 3 p.m., and the parking lot was jammed" at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Va., wrote Justin Jouvenal of the Washington Post:
"With an AK-47 slung over one shoulder, Marco Hernandez offered one word when asked why he was in the overflow crowd at the gun show."
"Obama," he said. "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the possible gun ban."
And this is the story across America since Sandy Hook.
The weapon most in demand at Chantilly?
The AR-15 black rifle, a version of which was used to slaughter the innocents in Newtown. At Chantilly, their price doubled in hours to $1,800. Gun stores have sold out their inventory.
Yet for weeks after Sandy Hook, journalists and politicians from the president to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who were making the case for a new assault-weapons ban, dominated the airwaves. Those calling for reinstatement of the ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 had the national audience almost entirely to themselves.

Vanilla 1.1.9 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.
2014-2015 - Colossus Refurbishment - (1/10/13) Screamscape sources tell us that management at Six Flags Magic Mountain may have received early confirmation that Colossus will be tapped to be the next Six Flags coaster to get the Iron Horse treatment following the transformation of Rattler to Iron Rattler at Fiesta Texas this year. No word yet on just how much will be changed, but the iconic support structure is expected to remain essentially the same. If true, look for Colossus to go away forever before the end of the year, though it seems like the park may try to promote the final days of Colossus rather than just quietly shut it down, so you may get some early warning.
2015/2016 - Rumor - Iron Colossus - (4/15/13) According to the latest rumors the Iron Horse treatment for Colossus has been slotted to reopen for 2015, though there is a slight chance it could be pushed back to 2016 if the stars align on another project first. Unlike the quick transformation of Rattler at Fiesta Texas, this is expected to be more of a major overhaul, more along the lines of the lengthy Texas Giant job. This will require the once mighty Colossus to be down for a period of 12-16 months. So for Colossus to be reborn in Spring 2015 it will end up having to close down to begin the project in Late 2013. Stay tuned as we try to keep up to date on what could be the most important new coaster to ever open at 'The Mountain' that could create an all time new world record for the park that may never be broken.
Mean Streak needs help. Colossus isn't a bad ride.
Posted By: Xpress
I'm not going to go ride world class rides whenever I go, I go to have FUN on FUN rides.
...plus... ok, am I the only one who is super underwhelmed by what they did to Rattler? Is it better than what was there? Oh my god, yes. The first drop is going to be legendary, the double-up, diving overbank, and barrel roll up onto the hilltop looks absolutely epic.
That crap on top of the ridge? Incredibly low-speed & uninspired if you ask me. It looks like they were designing it, got to the part after the barrel roll and went "well crap, we're out of speed, now what?" and threw in some bizarre track wobbles and an air hill or too, all of which are too tight for the train length.
It picks up a bit from there - the dive off the quarry ridge looks epic, but the tunnel turn + brakerun is pretty weak - certainly not going out with enough of a bang to make up for the top-of-the-quarry part that precedes it.
I don't know if they were handicapped by the park, but it seems to me that another 20' of lift height and slight reprofilings of the first couple elements could have left them with enough room to make properly sized elements (with, you know, speed) on top of the ridge, and ended in a way that isn't just an air-free right turn and a brakerun. Like... a twisting air hill out of the tunnel (or another zero-G roll), leftward 270 degree helix, double up into the brakes. Bam. Rattler fixed.
Whatever. It'll still be a great ride, but it just bothers me a little that, in my opinion, it falls well short of what it could have been with what seems like fairly minor additional changes.
If they're going to do anything to Colossus, I'd like to see them topper track the whole thing and reprofile a few hills at most. Maybe do the trendy thing and replace a few hill crests with zero-G rolls. I worry that if they go full iron horse track + poly wheels, they'll kill it. The dramatic loss of speed over the course of the ride will necessitate serious modifications to the track length & layout, and I just don't see that working all that well. Even New Texas Giant drags a bit in the "magic carpet" section, and that's after they chopped out an entire 360 degrees worth of helix in the preceding section of the ride. Colossus doesn't really have a throwaway section that I can see...
Posted By: JAKoolhas great airtime!
Posted By: ride_opMy friends and I have a fun and silly ritual when riding Colossus. We row with imaginary oars during the turns to make the ride go faster. With each canoe rowing motion, we yell out "Stroke!"
Posted By: A113
...Are you me? Because my friends and I do the EXACT same thing when we ride Colossus!
I might be imagining it but basically all the hills from the first drop through the MCBR look like they've seen some serious retracking love. Here's a hand-shot POV from earlier this year... do I remember reading they'd used I-beam or some other kind of steel track to reprofile it (non-RMC I think)? Those hills look incredibly smooth.
The majority of our members are against it or at least not wanting the basic characteristics of the coaster to change (keep it dueling, no inversions or beyond-vertical banked turns, etc.). We wouldn't mind seeing it getting RMC's topper track treatment, but the USA has a rich history of wooden coasters & needs to keep its wooden coasters classic.
the bottom layers have been replaced by a steel I beam. The top layers that overhang for the upstops are still wood.
So if I were RMC, I might call this "Bottomer Track".
Posted By: ride_opI put my money on "Mega Colossus" with "Ultimate Colossus" a close second.

Gulf Air, the national carrier of Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Oman plans to create the airline's first centralized reservations system through the establishment of a call center, which will be located in Oman.
All bookings from throughout the Middle East region will be managed through the Gulf Air Reservations Center, which will also provide national employment opportunities. The move follows the recent unanimous approval of the airline's three-year strategic recovery plan, which was presented to Gulf Air's Board of Directors at a meeting held in Bahrain last December.
The three-year strategic recovery plan includes a cash injection of $238 million for this year and the continued deferral of government debt. It features a number of 'pillars', including brand development, fleet re-construction, Gulf Air's network, alliances and customer service – as well as others, and a strong focus on profitability and cost structure improvements.
Gulf Air was founded in 1950. It is owned by Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Oman and is the only truly pan Gulf carrier in the region. The airline's network stretches from Europe to Asia and covers 43 cities in 32 countries. — (menareport.com)

The two- stateroom, all teak interior houses a large L-shaped galley in the salon which is separated from the convertible dinette by a serving counter with lockers above and below. The master stateroom is located to port, opposite the head, rather than forward. On deck, bridge overhangs protect much of the MT 40' decks and cockpit from sun and rain. The spacious flybridge is equipped with back to back seating and space aft for stowing a dingy. The cockpit is roomy and has ample space for a few deck chairs. Additional features include a flybridge mast and boom, deep bulwarks, a large engine room, transom door, and a swim platform.

London, Jan 5 (IANS) British band The Wanted feel they have have started a trend and inspired new bands which are coming up now.
The band comprising Tom Parker, Nathan Sykes, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness feel they are the coolest around.
"What I'm proud of is that I feel like we started this whole generation of new boy bands not dancing. We were the first one there. We're the coolest boy band around," OK! Magazine quoted Parker as saying.
"I think everyone saw us and though, that's the blueprint, we'll tidy it up a bit and then we'll make a lot of money," McGuiness said.

WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 7, 2017) – Rollins split their non-conference double-header against Lander; walking off with a 5-4 win in game one, before dropping game two by a score of 4-3. The Tars move to 15-9 on the year, while the Bearcats progress to 10-14.
Grace Street got to play hero for the Tars in game one, slapping a RBI single up the middle to win game one. A comeback attempt by the Tars fell short in game two, however, as the Bearcats earned the split.
Game One
· Rollins jumped out to an early lead, scoring one in the first when Sarah Harrison came home on a Kacie Booth sacrifice fly.
· Both teams put a pair of runs on the board in the second. The Bearcats took the lead briefly on an Emily Marousek two run homerun. But, the Tars recovered in the bottom of the frame when Chelsea Reed lead off the inning with the homerun. Hailee Keisling then recaptured the Tars lead with an RBI single.
· Lander jumped back in front scoring a run in both the fifth and sixth frames.
· The Tars came up in the seventh with the game on the line, and responded in kind. Brianne Lint lead off the inning with a double off the wall in left center. Reed gave the Tars two base runners with a single. Abigail Sexton drove in the equalizer with a single down the right field line, paving the way for Grace Street who sent the ball up the middle for the walk-off base hit.
Game Two
· Lander jumped on the board first, manufacturing a run in the first inning, but Rollins responded in the second. The Tars took the lead when Hailee Keisling smacked an RBI single into right center, scoring Rachel Minier and Abigail Sexton.
· Lander evened the score in the third when Destiny Clyde scored on an error.
· Both defenses controlled the next three innings, as both teams' offences went stagnant
· Lander put up two runs in the top of the seventh, to leave the Tars with work to do in their final at bat. Keisling tried to spark a rally when the lefty sent a ball over the right field wall. But, Rollins could not complete another comeback.
Game One
· Chelsea Reed (CF) – 2-4, HR, 2 RBI, 1 Run, SB
· Chandler Carey (C) – 2-3, 2B, 2 Runs
· Sarah Piening – W, 2.0 IP, 1 Hit, 1 Run, 0 Earned Runs, 3 SO
· Brianna Surrento – 4.1 IP, 7 Hits, 3 Runs, 2 SO
Game Two
· Hailee Keisling (1B) – 3-3, HR, 3 RBI, 1 Run
· Surrento (1B) – 2-3, 2 RBI
· Sarah Piening – L, 4.0 IP, 2 Hits, 2 Runs, 3 SO
· McKenzi Ferguson – W, 2.2 IP, 1 Hit, 1 Run, 4 SO
· Grace Street's game one walk-off was her second walk-off hit as a Tar
· Prior to the seventh inning of game one the Tars were batting 1-14 with runners in scoring position.
· Chelsea Reed sits at 105 RBI, one off the Tars' top-ten all-time list.
· Sarah Piening moves into a tie for first place in the Sunshine State Conference with 9 wins on the year.
· Reed's game one homerun moved her into a tie with teammate Brianne Lint for most in the SSC
· Hailee Keisling jumped into seventh on the Rollins all-time hit list with her seventh inning homerun of game two. The senior is just seven hits away from becoming just the fifth Tar to tally 200 hits.
· Michelle Frew is now 757-310-1, in her 22nd season at the helm of the Rollins softball program.
Rollins continues their non-conference home stand against Mount Olive on Thursday, March 9. First pitch of game one is scheduled for 6 p.m.

On Sunday, June 9, a small dog wandered into our yard. Normally we would just shoo a dog away but something made us check her out. She was so badly injured due to abuse and neglect but we were able to get her to trust us.
She was only able to walk on three legs, her tail was badly injured, there was a twist tie around a couple of her toes, she had a bloody abdomen area and she was skinny and weak.
I tried calling the Humane Society, the Police Department and a local veterianarian but we were unable to get any help or advice. We made her a comfy bed, sat with her and got her to drink and eat a little. We then tried to explain to our two grandsons why someone would do this to her. Our 6-year-old grandson decided he wanted to name her, so we said that would be fine, but we would not be able to keep her because she was so badly injured. He named her "Traveler" because she traveled so far to find our house so we could help her — brought tears to all our eyes.
We took her to the pound on Monday — of course she had no tag or microchip. Her injuries were so severe that they took her to Oakwood Veterinary to see if she could even be saved. Tuesday morning I got a call from Lodi Animal Shelter saying PALS agreed to take over her care (which will be over $1,000).
I wish I was in a position to cover the cost for her, but cannot. We did donate $100 towards her care, and I am asking that if anyone could possibly help, it would be so appreciated. You could send any donation to PALS in care of "Traveler." It would be so appreciated. This little pup deserves a second chance to fine a forever home and be loved. She is a fighter and wants to live and have someone to love.

U.S. Men's National Team Opens Training Camp in Florida
THEY'RE OFF: The march towards Germany 2006 took its first step as the U.S. men opened their first training camp of the new year on Saturday, January 4 at the IMG Academy in Bradenton. Under the watchful eye of a newly re-signed head coach Bruce Arena, 26 players shook off the cobwebs of a long winter break with an intense double session. The morning practice began with an extended warm up, before breaking into small-sided games. The afternoon session featured a fitness evaluation that consisted of players running the farthest distance possible in six minutes. Kansas City Wizards defender Nick Garcia took top honors, completing 1820 meters in the allotted time frame. An 11 v. 11 full field scrimmage completed the first day's work. The team is expected to continue twice-a-day sessions for the next several days.
PERSONNEL UPDATE: The original 27-man complement has seen minor alterations since the roster was announced Dec. 23. The Columbus Crew duo of Brian McBride (loan to Everton) and Kyle Martino (injury) were forced to withdraw.

In addition to Glenn Myernick, Arena has selected former D.C. United defender and assistant coach Curt Onalfo to serve on the national team staff.
