Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, and Rupert Everett star in Hysteria, a movie set in Victorian London. More interestingly, it's about the invention of the vibrator. Dancy plays a young doctor struggling to establish himself in the medical world until he's invited to join a women's practice that specializes in curing "hysteria."
Hysteria, of course, was a commonly-diagnosed medical diorder in the Victorian era that is no longer recognized in modern medicine. One of the cures for hysteria was a "pelvic massage," or as we call it today, getting off.

Jeff Fisher doesn't expect his St. Louis Rams to be the subject of this season's edition of HBO's "Hard Knocks" series.
"I think it's unlikely," Fisher told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Jim Thomas on Monday. "We are eligible, but I think it's highly unlikely they'd ask us to do it. I think this organization has a right to go through training camp with some normalcy."
Following the selection of Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, the Rams became fodder for the show's possible featured team.
The Rams are one of eight teams the NFL can appoint (regardless of objections) based on three criteria: they do not have a new head coach, they haven't made the playoffs in the last two years and they haven't participated in the series in the previous 10 seasons.
The list of potential teams (not considering possible volunteers):
Arizona Cardinals
Buffalo Bills
Chicago Bears
Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Giants
Oakland Raiders
Pittsburgh Steelers
St. Louis Rams
After the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) decided to postpone the docuseries on Sam, it's clear the Rams would like as little distractions as possible.
Given that Fisher is on the competition committee and highly respected within the league, his comments about "Hard Knocks" can be viewed more as a request of the series' decision-makers than some other coaching protests to the show.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down the latest news and shares takeaways from rookie camps.

The Exclusion Principle of evidence is the concept that in order for a piece of evidence to be useful to support a claim, it must first be excluded, or differentiated, from other possible explanations.
Case Study[edit]
For example, an individual named Bob claims that Jack smokes. Bob points out that Jack's house burned down as proof for this claim. While it is true that Jack's house burning down is potentially due to a mishap from smoking in bed, Bob is making a fallacy.
He's assuming that smoking in bed is the only legitimate cause for Jack's house burning down. In realty, there's several possibilities.
- Lightning struck the house.
- Bad wiring in the house.
- Arson.
- Mishap while smoking in bed.
- Knocked over scented candle.
- Tissue paper caught fire on stove.
The possibilities are literally endless to what could have started the fire. It's even possible that aliens from a parallel dimension shot a interdimensional heat ray at Jack's house, starting the fire.
Bob, in this case, has seemingly arbitrarily chosen smoking in bed as the cause for the house burning down. The critical thinker would immediately ask, "What makes you think that's the cause, as opposed to bad wiring?" The assertion that he's a smoker because his house burned down makes even less sense if Jack has no history of smoking (Which is analogous to theists asserting supernatural causes when nothing supernatural has been demonstrated yet).
In order to distinguish smoking in bed as the correct cause, and distinguish it from the other possibilities, Bob must provide additional evidence.
For instance, several additional pieces could distinguish smoking in bed as the correct cause.
- Indications the fire started in the bedroom.
- Cigarette butts discovered in the bedroom.
- Disqualify lighting due to clear skies.
- Disqualify scented candle if Jack never uses them.
To simply insist that Jack smokes because his house burned down, with no additional details would be woefully inadequate.
Examples in Religious Claims[edit]
In all the different ways that theistic claims can fail the standards of evidence, the most common unmet standard is exclusion. Typically, the theist ignores, or is unaware of, other possibilities. Sometimes, they ignore the null hypothesis and assume that God is the default answer to an asserted piece of evidence, which leads to the God of the gaps phenomenon.
Consider the following examples.
- The proof of God is that you exist.
- Natural causes is also a possible explanation. In fact, we can readily demonstrate that nature exists, and is operational, as opposed to supernature, which is entirely unconfirmed. What's the additional evidence that excludes nature?
- The evidence for a god is answered prayer.
- The supposed evidence for prayer could be a mixture of confirmation bias, a model for prayer that is unfalsifiable, and coincidence. What's the additional evidence that excludes these possibilities?
- The evidence for a god is the apparent design in nature.
- The perception of design in nature is a subjective opinion. What's the evidence that excludes the possibility that it's simply a question of interpretation?
The irony is that they often pick the most ludicrus and far-fetched causes as the proven cause, or simply assume that it's the most reasonable answer, despite it being unproven entirely.
Probabilistic Sorting of Possibilities[edit]
The principle of exclusion with evidence is the addressing the problem of determining which, of the infinite possibilities, is the most likely cause for an effect. The first step is to identify reasonable potential causes.
Typically, the reasonable causes are matched up against what is already known. One piece of evidence given for the veracity of the Bible is the discovery of chariot wheels discovered at the bottom of the Red Sea. This apparently supports the story of Moses parting the Red Sea, which came crashing down on the Egyptian army that was following behind him. The evidence here is the discovered chariot wheels, however, there's several possibilities as to how they got there.
- The story of Moses is true, and the wheels are the remains of those drowned soldiers.
- A shipment of chariot parts on a boat was lost during an attempted sailing across the sea, and the boat capsized.
- The account of chariot wheels being found is unreliable and a case of Lying for Jesus. [1]
- Members of an alien species from another planet abducted some Eqyptian soldiers and discarded the chariots as they flew away, which happened to be over the Red Sea.
Due to a loose application of Occam's Razor, #2 and #3 would seem to be the most reasonable explanations, barring further evidence. It's the one that's not asserting unproven flights of fancy to make the explanation work. What's more, we have evidence that not only is life very robust and versetile, but we're discovering more and more planets that could support life. That means, we have actual evidnece that extraterrestrial life could exist elsewhere.
That means that #4 is actually more plausable than #1, since currently we have no valid evidence of any kind of supernatural realm or being, at all.
Without further evidence to exclude the other possibilities from the Biblican explanation, we must then choose, tentatively, the most reasonable explanation - an accident during the shipment of chariot wheels - as the most likely possibility presented thus far.

A swell Battlestar Galactica mod for Nexus drew the attention of NBC Universal, who sent a cease-and-desist over to ModDB, which had been hosting the work on it. And 19 other BSG mods. All have been wiped out.
"I was shocked and saddened when i got the message from ModDB admins that our mod, the Nexus BSG mod is being pulled due to copyright claims of NBC Universal," one of the mod's leads wrote. "This we cannot fight, these are the terms of ModDB, and we are making our projects based on NBCU's intellectual property."
Nonetheless, this rag-tag fugitive fleet is on a lonely quest for permission from NBCU to continue with the mod. They're asking people to start an email writing campaign through the company's official contact-us page.
We've seen big bad IP holders show mercy in these situations before, but it sometimes takes years, and that's involving companies whose IPs were already video games. NBCU simply may not have any sympathy for the modders because they have little exposure to such communities. The ModDB thread is not full of much optimism; many are talking about boycotts and anger and exacting any kind of revenge they can, which will probably be not much.
That's for the Nexus mod. Apparently those who worked on the BSG Diaspora mod are pissed that their work was obliterated now that NBCU finally noticed what was going on.
This only means that the mod work is gone from ModDB; maybe these projects will be taken underground to another host meantime.
Calling Out to All Battlestar Galactica Modders! [ModDB — Thanks Paul W!]

Observing Student Problem Solving
|Introduction | How Many Vehicles? -- Using Counters | Problem Reflection #1 | How Many Vehicles? -- Using Numbers and Cubes | Problem Reflection #2 | Classroom Practice | Observe a Classroom | Your Journal
Gabriella and Javier are working together and have chosen to use numbers to solve the problem. They have no difficulty getting started:
Gabriella: Since each car has four wheels, we can just keep adding 4 until we get to the 24 wheels.
The students' paper looks like this:
Teacher: Explain what you did.
Teacher: Let's check: 4 + 4 is . . .?
Teacher: And four more . . . ?
Teacher: What can help you find out how many you have now?
Teacher: Okay -- so where do you end up?
Teacher: Is there another way you can show the wheels on each car?
Teacher: How many cubes will you need?
Teacher: Right -- now show me with the cubes.
The students continue to work with the blocks. They call the teacher back when they have this configuration:
Teacher: I see what you have done. What is a stack of cubes for?
Teacher: I see. And how many cars are there?
Teacher: Now look back at the first way you wrote it. Do you have six cars there?
Teacher: How do you know that?
Teacher: Okay. Now I have a challenge for you. Can you find another way to do it so that you have different kinds of vehicles?
Teacher: Good. Now tell me what kinds of vehicles you might have.
Teacher: You got it! Now go to work. Remember, you need to show me your thinking . . .
The teacher moves on to another group while the students get to work. Later, they call her back with this configuration of cubes:
Teacher: What have you got here?
Teacher: How do you know that this will work?
Teacher: Do you think there might be more combinations?
The students continue working as the teacher moves on to another group of students.

Each college and university is different. It may take awhile for you to adjust to your new school environment, but don't let that discourage you. There are many ways and many resources to help you get settled into your new college or university once you transfer. Many transfer students perform as well as students who began at that college or university.
Coming from a community college, you may notice differences such as larger class sizes in some courses and perhaps less individual attention from your professor. You may need to find different ways to motivate yourself to attend class, or you may find that you need to adjust your study habits. So what do you need to do? Go to class. Leave yourself lots of time to prepare for tests and to complete assignments. Seek out your professors and classmates and get to know them.
Don't wait until your first day of classes to figure out where everything is. Check to see if there are opportunities to get to know the campus, meet academic advisors, and connect with other transfer students. You can contact the Admissions Office or Transfer Contact at the college or university in which you're interested for more information.
Academic advisors, faculty and other staff are great resources for transfer students. They can help you understand what credits you need, help you select courses, balance your course load, continue to plan your career goals, and refer you to other services on campus.
Getting involved in student organizations is a great way for you to get to know other students. Its a good idea to get involved in at least one extracurricular activity. Most degree programs have a student association, which would allow you to get to know other students in your program.
There are lots of resources available to assist if you need help reaching your academic, personal, and professional goals or transitions to your new environment. Not sure where to begin? Start with an advisor, professor, or student services staff member. They can help you find the information and support you need to stay on the path toward success.

The RCM Birds of Canada 25 cent coloured coins are surely a work of art and have proven to be a great investment. I purchased one of the newly released "Barn Owl" coins at the post office the other day and was very pleased to see a distinctly doubled barn roof. Barn Owl's right wing tip is also missing colour where it is supposed to overlap the perimeter of inside circle. The wing edge, talon, and fence post also appear doubled. Rarity? Comments please.

Exhibits include two tons of twisted World Trade Center steel.
All four living members of the most exclusive men's club in America will join George W. Bush to dedicate his $500 million presidential library next month in Dallas, but there may be a major no-show — the former president's daughter, Jenna Bush.
The 31-year-old is scheduled to deliver George and Laura Bush's first grandchild around the same time her dad's library and institute is dedicated April 25, so doctors want her to stay put in New York rather than travel to the campus of Southern Methodist University for the festivities.
Some friends of George and Laura chuckle that they may be even more agog about Jenna's and husband Henry Hager's impending blessed event than the library's unveiling.
"Over the moon doesn't begin to describe how excited Laura is," an old friend told National Journal. "She's crazy with anticipation. He's pretty excited, too, but he's trying to be a little cooler about it. And who could blame them?"
The closely-knit Bush clan is basking in a sentimental April trifecta: the grandchild-to-be; the library dedication, expected to attract more than 15,000 onlookers; and the rebound of 88-year-old patriarch George H.W. Bush, who nearly died a few days after Christmas but by all accounts has dramatically rebounded from a lung infection.
"41 is indeed going!" his chief of staff Jean Becker told National Journal. "He gets stronger every single day. He truly is amazing." He's begun receiving a few visitors again and recently showed up at an event at his library on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station.
The elder Bush and his son — 41 and 43, in the family parlance — will be joined by President Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton at the dedication of the library and its adjoining policy institute. Bush partisans believe the institute will be the intellectual engine that in time rehabilitates the 43rd president's image.
"George is happy as he can be," another Dallas acquaintance describes George W. Bush. "He's convinced his achievement in keeping the country safe after 9/11 will get the attention it deserves as the years roll on."
That's probably why it's no coincidence that the library's signature exhibit from Bush's eight years as president is a 17-foot, two-ton twisted piece of steel from the World Trade Center. The mangled, blistered remnant from that fateful day is known as "impact steel" — experts have determined that it was actually struck by one of the jumbo jetliners on 9/11.
The hallowed relic has been anchored vertically in the main exhibit hall and promises to be the most powerful and popular of all the library's artifacts. Some staffers and VIP visitors are said to have been moved to tears after seeing it.

NEW RIVER � Generations of Marines gathered in advance of the anniversary of an act of terror that claimed hundreds of lives 30 years ago.
NEW RIVER � Generations of Marines gathered in advance of the anniversary of an act of terror that claimed hundreds of lives 30 years ago.
In front of a theater full of Marines and sailors from New River on Friday, veterans of the Beirut bombing shared personal stories from the Oct. 23, 1983, blast, as well as the days leading up to and following the attack. More than 240 Americans were killed during the blast and more than 100 were injured when a truck packed with explosives drove into the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, and detonated, collapsing the building.
During the presentation, Danny Joy, 57, of Jacksonville, explained how he was affected by the blast that took the lives of many of his peers and friends. Positioned 1,000 meters from the blast at an observation post within the city of Beirut, Joy recalled seeing smoke and feeling helpless not knowing how he could help or even what had happened. It wasn�t until he heard chatter on the radio that he knew the magnitude of what had just transpired, he said.
�Our history as Marines is our legacy,� Joy said. �The Corps is all about history, and if we forget our history and traditions then we have lost what we have stood for ... the Corps� history isn�t just about stacking bodies like cord wood in famous battles. It�s about the lives lost too.�
Other speakers included historian Rob Bower, Navy chaplain Lt. Cmdr. Bryan Crittenden and Dan Cuddeback, a retired sergeant who was near the barracks when the attack occurred.
One corpsman in the audience said that when he heard about the event, he felt compelled to come and learn something from the Marines� experiences.
�The Marines� personal experiences from witnessing the explosion and them trying to understand the chaos that was happening on the radio hit me the hardest,� said Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark Berkley, 28, of Ponca City, Okla. �It�s very hard to imagine being as I wasn�t there, but seeing the emotion the speaker had while he told the story � it hit hard.�
Berkley said these types of presentations are important, especially as those who were there continue to age.
�As it gets older and older, there are going to be less and less survivors, which make presentations like this even more important,� he said. �We should celebrate the lives and remember the losses. It�s our responsibility to remember how they acted and did what they were trained to do.�
For 1st Lt. Sarah Burns, organizing this event was something she felt needed to be done to make sure Marines do not forget or ignore what happened in Beirut, especially given the amount of support the military and civilian community shows in Jacksonville, she said.
Burns said she wished every Marine walked away with a sense of pride in the Marine Corps, their country and the Jacksonville community. Hearing personal stories such as the ones told Friday mean a lot to Burns and makes her proud of what she is doing as a Marine, she said.
�This needed to be done because it�s part of our history as Marines,� said Burns, 24, of Rochester Hills, Mich. �We have such an amazing opportunity to embrace our history because of the deep veteran population in Jacksonville. Everyone has a story to tell and it�s important as Marines to hear our history from those who were there.�
Getting up in front of them and telling their stories wasn�t easy, according to Joy, and he hopes that the Marines walk away with a clearer picture of what happened 30 years ago.

Subscribe To Harry Potter Prequel Headed To The Stage, J.K. Rowling To Co-Produce The Play Updates
I've already subscribed
Hearing the phrase "Harry Potter prequel," I automatically assume it's either a story about Harry Potter's parents and the Marauders, or it goes further back and tells the story of Dumbledore during any of that man's fascinating past. Alas, neither is the case for the play J.K. Rowling is working on, however that's not such a bad thing as this prequel stage project she has in the works is more directly tied to Harry Potter.
EW says Rowling is working on a play that will tell the story of boy wizard Harry Potter during his younger years, before Hagrid showed up and told him he was a wizards. According to the statement Rowling made, the play will "explore the previously untold story of Harry's early years as an orphan and an outcast." She's co-producing the show alongside Sonia Friedman and Colin Callendar. Rowling's not actually penning the script, but she will collaborate with the writer on it. That writer and the director have not been selected yet.
Now for the speculation... If it's about Harry and his pre-Hogwarts years, before he learned that he was a wizard, does that mean there's no magic involved? EW's story doesn't specify, however I'm going to assume otherwise and not rule out the possibility of an occasional magical outburst, at the very least. From what we know of Harry's youth, strange, seemingly inexplicable things did happen to him when he was little. For example, his Aunt Petunia tried to cut his hair and it all grew back overnight. When she tried to force him to wear an ugly sweater, the thing shrunk until it was way too small to wear. And then there was the time Dudley and his gang were chasing Harry and he somehow ended up on a chimney. Harry may not have known he was a wizard until Hagrid told him, but magic has always been a part of his life.
So we know magic had a presence in Harry's life, and in Rowling's mind, there may very well have been more instances of spontaneous magic. But I'm curious to know how she's planning on thickening the plot and why she's chosen the stage as the place to tell this story. Will the Dursley's be the focus? Will Arabella Figg play a part? She's the woman who occasionally looked after Harry when the Dursleys went away and didn't want to take him. We learned later that she has ties to the magical community, so there could be a place for her in this story.
Harry Potter seems to be reemerging bit by bit of late. The seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series released in 2007. Since then Rowling has mostly moved on to other projects. though she did release the fairytale spinoff book The Tales of Beedle the Bard for charity. Up until this fall, there hasn't been much going on on the Potter front in terms of new stories, beyond the movies, which have also wrapped up. And then this past fall it was announced that there was a spinoff film in the works based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, one of the other Potter bonus books Rowling published for charity. There's also been talk of other potential spinoffs Warner Bros. might have in mind.
As a Potter fanatic, I can hardly complain when hearing that Rowling is delving back into that story from any angle. As I said after the Fantastic Beasts news broke, I'm open any opportunity to return to the rich magical world Rowling has created. In the case of this stage project, it sounds like she's looking to flesh out Harry's history in the years leading up to his arrival at Hogwarts. I can't imagine it'll be an entirely happy story, given that Harry spent that early decade of his life being mistreated, neglected and bullied, but one look at the scar on his forehead and the audience will be reminded of all that awaits for this character.
This news leaves us with plenty of questions, like where the play will open (Update: Rowling's site says UK Theater) and what audience Rowling has in mind. Tonally, I'd assume they're aiming for something along the lines of the first book, which was pretty kid-friendly, unlike the last book. Who will play the boy wizard and will any of the film's casts make a cameo? And then of course, there's the most important question for many of us: Where/When/How can I buy a ticket?

OLATHE, KAN. – The So Cal Track Club left little doubt in the race for the club championship as it racked up a total of 879 points to win the team title as the USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships concluded Sunday at the Olathe District Activity Center.
Encompassing the true spirit of lifetime fitness, a total of five Olympians and 30 reigning world masters indoor and outdoor champions were among the more than 1,000 athletes ages 30-95+ that competed in Olathe for the USA Maters Outdoor Track & Field Championships. More information on the meet including complete results can be found here.

Finishing second in the team race was the Atlanta Track Club (335) and the Potomac Valley Track Club (227.50) was third.
The final day of the USA Masters Outdoor Championships produced a pair of world records in relay competition in the 4x400m and 4x800m. Grace Padilla, Lisa Ryan, Jennifer Burke and Sonja Friend-Uhl team up in the 4x800m to set a world record in a time of 9:18.33 while Gary Sims, Charles Rose, Mack Stewart and Robert Lida set the world 75-79 age group world record in the 4x400m in a time of 4:54.64.
In addition to the two world records, a total of six American records also fell Sunday that included: Oscar Peyton (M60, Accokeek, Md.) in the men's 200m, (24.32); Gwendolyn Wentland (W41, Manhattan, Kan.) in the women's high jump (1.77m/5-9.75); Myrle Mensey (W64, Saint Louis, Mo.) in the women's weight throw (16.93m/55-6); Marilyn Coleman (W38, Franklin Park, N.J.) in the women's weight throw (14.70m/48-2); Mark Williamson, Robert Stanley, Jeff Brower, Kerry Sloan (M50-59) in the men's shuttle hurdle relay (1:03.20); Randall Olson, Jim Dolezal, Rederick Monesmith, Max Siu (M60-69) in the men's shuttle hurdle relay (1:16.53).
Additionally, Williams Platts (M85, Boise, Idaho) continued his strong meet Sunday in winning the men's javelin with a big toss of 36.99m/121-4. The win in the javelin gives Platts a total of five national titles throughout the duration of the competition, which also includes the pentathlon, long jump, discus and 100m.
A complete summary of the world and American records reached in Olathe along with a full listing of all champions on the final day of competition can be found below.
Masters athletes will now turn their attention to the 2013 World Masters Athletics Championships, which are scheduled for October 16-27 in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Peyton, Collins forming great rivalry in sprints
Whether by chance of design, Oscar Peyton (M60, Accokeek, Md.) and Bill Collins (M62, Houston, Texas) bring out the best in one another on the track. It's the standard that marks a great rivalry in sports.
"He's the reason I train a little harder," Peyton said of Collins Sunday at the USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships where the two had just raced to a photo finish in the men's 200m. "We push each other. If you ask him, I think he would say the same thing."
The two split their matchups in Olathe with Collins winning the 100m Saturday and Peyton winning the 200m Sunday and exceeding the listed American age-group record with his winning time of 24.32. Despite running into a more than four-meters-per-second headwind, the two carried each other to the fast time.
"It's all Bill Collins," Peyton said when asked how they were able to run so fast into a difficult headwind. "If not for him, I would have run slower.
"Bill smoked me (Saturday). So (Sunday) I decided to run my own race and finish strong. When I do beat Bill it seems to be in the 200m."
As good of sprinters as there are in masters track and field, both Peyton and Collins hold world records in masters competition.

Seems like you never stop upgrading and tinkering.
I now have a 4l80e behind my 454 mild build and it makes a world of difference to the big revving TH400 on a 3.73 rear gear. I can run with the highway traffic without putting a load on the valve train.
I just scored a Lincoln Mark Viii fan off ebay for $38.00 plus shipping to avoid the clutch fan which seems to have real difficulty cooling the big block at stop lights in this perpetual summer heat in this part of the world.
I'm doing the volvo relay controller on my four core copper radiator built by a local shop.
I tried the Champion three core and it did not work for me. I kinda realise that the problem with the rad was my fault when I had a 16lb cap that may have been faulty and it blew a hole in the rad.
Local shop says they can repair it but I do no think aluminum rads are good for repair.
Looking forward to the Mark Viii fan conversion and hoping that all my heat problems disappear.
Car is a load of fun.
I can imagine how much the extra gear in the 4L80E is helping you on the freeway.

A bunch of other stuff check out my Garage
Well I finally ran the Mark Viii fan today on just jerry rig wiring.
I read that it would not fit on a big block in an intermediate chassis and that is quite true without modification. I had to move the radiator forward about three inches. I used a BFH and installed the fan upside down to clear the water pump pulley. It is now properly installed.
Back to today--I ran the engine and the fan tripped on at 180 degree and brought the temp back down to 160 in about 90 seconds and on the low speed too. This is a really excellent fan and I look forward to running it on the road after I tidy up the wiring to see how it works.
here is a pic of the fan installed.
