frankendodger sheet 8 (cards 64-72) - a very pleasant good morning to you, wherever you may be...
64. 1993 pinnacle darryl strawberry
65. 2013 panini cooperstown collection vin scully
66. 2014 panini golden age tom lasorda
67. 2009 topps walmart black parallel andruw jones
68. 1975 sspc charlie hough
69. 2015 panini diamond kings jim gilliam
70. 2000 upper deck mvp kevin brown
71. 1995 upper deck tim wallach
72. 1994 upper deck all-time heroes don newcombe
the "no brainer" of the day:
aside from a couple of steve garvey cards, there is probably not a bigger no-brainer in this set than vin scully's card at number 65. topps has made a couple of cards of announcers, along with at least one of a public address announcer, but no scully card to date. i am really hoping that with the topps now set, they will make one for at least one of the nights that the dodgers will be honoring him this year. and, if that's the case, scully would probably get a second card in the frankenset.
about the cards:
there are three unlicensed cards on this sheet, and the lasorda is the worst of them, although i do wish jim gilliam's arms were a bit higher so that it weren't so obvious that there is no team name on the front of his jersey. gilliam, like lasorda, was a dodger lifer. he was a coach following his playing days, and he helped the infield of my youth become the infield of my youth. it bears repeating that his number 19 is the only number retired by the dodgers for a player/coach not in the hall of fame. lasorda's number is also retired by the club, but he is enshrined in cooperstown as a manager.
scully is also a hall of famer, and i wonder what (if anything) the dodgers might retire in vin's honor at the end of this season. the cardinals have jack buck as part of their outfield mural, and the giants used (do they still have them?) the ny logo for players that didn't wear numbers - a tactic that could work for scully, i suppose. we'll just have to wait and see. i'm in no rush to get to the end of his career.
there are better darryl strawberry cards than the pinnacle card i used, but not at number 64. the andruw jones card is one of a couple parallels that make the set (figures i would have doubles of the walmart black version of this card, but not the regular base). charlie hough was the closer (one of them, anyway) on the team of my youth which is odd for a knuckleballer, but he looks happy on the sspc card and i am glad to have another player from the 1978 dodgers in the set.
the kevin brown card kind of reminds me of that 1976 topps tom seaver record breaker card due to the generic looking red helmet in the foreground of the card. in the 8-spot on the page, we have a tim wallach card that won't be going to new mexico anytime soon (i do have some others that will be headed to a certain lawyer out there), and the last card on the page is perhaps the best card from the 2004 upper deck all-time heroes set. newk was a good hitting pitcher (he hit .271 over his career), and it's nice to have a card showing his style at the plate. he will turn 90 in about a month's time, and his presence around the club for the last few decades puts him in the manny mota territory of will they/won't they waive the hof requirement (as they did for gilliam) and retire his number. i would guess it is less likely that newcombe's number is retired since he has not been in uniform the way mota was for all those post-playing days.
cards that didn't make the cut:
there was at least one other card on this page other than the scully that wasn't going to be bumped for anyone else, but there were some tempting options. some of the cards that didn't quite make it include some "great" ones such as 2000 fleer greats of the game preacher roe (#64), 2002 fleer greats of the game hack wilson (#65), 1999 fleer sports illustrated greats of the game steve garvey (#66), 2003 fleer flair greats don drysdale (#66), 2011 topps marquee clayton kershaw (#67), 1963 topps duke snider/gil hodges "friendly foes" (#68), 2003 fleer focus jersey edition shawn green (#69),
my favorite card on the page:
it's vin, without a doubt.
final thoughts:
i've been watching a bunch of dodger home games through my mlb.tv subscription this year to get my vin scully fix, which means i've been very tired on several mornings. i missed vin's dissertation on beards, however, so had to check that out on deadspin. what a treasure, indeed.

It's criminal that Vin Scully hasn't found himself on more cards - at this point, the man is the sound of baseball for 3 or 4 generations!ReplyDeleteReplies
i will think about pressing charges if there isn't a topps now card of him at some point this year.Delete
Lord knows I've tried doing my part by making Scully customs.ReplyDelete
I haven't watched a ton of mlb.tv so far this season, but I'm sure I've watched more Dodgers than any other team, including my Padres, solely for enjoying as much Vin as I can before he retires.Replies
i've appreciated the customs you sent my way for sure!Delete
I think I've heard Vin more this year than any other.ReplyDelete
Jim Gilliam Diamond King is what I need here. Was pretty lax on the DK cards last year.
Also, now I have to go checking my '89 UD dupes for a Holton variation.Replies
it is interesting to me that this variation isn't one that is typically noted, unlike the 1991 topps jose gonzalez/billy bean photo swap as an example.Delete

Professor Ian Suni, from Clarkson University's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has worked on a series of projects to develop thin film coatings for advanced materials and biomaterials. He and his laboratory group have developed new methods for the electrochemical deposition of metals such as Pt, Pd, and Cu, as well as electrochemical methods for surface finishing to develop improved planarization technologies for ULSI device fabrication. Among Professor Suni's achievements are improved high surface area coatings for sensor electrodes, improved high temperature metal coatings for energy conversion devices, and improved corrosion inhibitors for ULSI planarization technologies. He has recently applied his expertise in surface engineering to develop improved biomaterials. As part of his ongoing research towards developing biosensors for food allergens, Suni recently demonstrated that electrochemical biosensors could be constructed using degenerate Si, which allows easier incorporation of biosensors into ULSI devices.

This week Pastor Tom preached the sermon about where to find our hope. In whom do we place trust? As we reflect on this sermon from Ruth 2:1-7, let us consider these questions:
- How are we trying to live our lives independently from God?
- How are you overestimating your ability and underestimating your weakness?
- In what ways are you trusting in your ability rather than trusting the Lord?
- Do we believe that our blessings in life are the result of our hard work or the fruit of the Lord's grace? What does the evidence in your life suggest?

Our family van has almost 200,000 miles on it I have driven that "little green" all over the country on road trips with my two daughters, when they were too young to drive and willing to accompany me on those long trips. They became accustomed to these trips, making preparations the day before with their favorite pillows, stuffed animals, blankets and books for the hours of driving, by me. It was usually just the three of us, taking the back roads through Kansas, Iowa and Oklahoma, on the way to Texas, from Minnesota to see their Grannie and Grandpa. These were times that I could be certain that they would read their books, away from computers and television and other distractions.
Now my daughters are growning up and the van is showing its age. Each time it breaks down, we get it fixed and I always say, "cheaper than a car payment!" My husband says, "we keep putting money into that car!" The truth is, I am attached to it. It has a history with me, I like the way it smells (sometimes like a wet dog) and there are a few dents that hold stories behind them. It has rust spots as well. Instead of trading "green" in for something shinier and snazzier, with an attitude, I have decided to keep it, as long as I can. Instead of being ashamed of the rust spots, I have celebrated them by covering them with flowers. People smile when they see it. I wave and smile back. Now, I can't imagine ever parting with it! It is my "signature" in the neighborhood, parked proudly next to all the most sophisticated SUV's. I am proud of my "art car". My neighbor's now call me "the hippie" and ask if I"have any pot". The teenagers revel at my work, saying "that's cool". The children who climb our trees light up when they first notice it. It is unusual, and my mother always told me that was a good thing to be.
It represents what I believe. That you hold on to your history, that you use something up until its all gone, that you respect that which is old and especially if its paid for, that you CAN paint flowers on your cars and not get arrested. But most importantly, that young people don't need to be discouraged if they can't afford a perfect car when they are 17 or 20. I want to exemplify that you CAN make a creative statement everyday, with your car. My next addition will be a phrase "life is best lived serendipitiously".
And finally, I am doing something really good for the environment; I am keeping one more car off of the heap on the land. I feel so proud.

As always, various other stability and performance improvements have been issued as well. Users are pleased with the latest version, one of them saying the following:
"I like this new update of Opera Mini, but really would like the ability to increase font size, and perhaps a boldface option. Also would be great to have a feature like Safari's "Reader" mode. The data compression modes are terrific. Should help to keep me from blowing past my data caps."
New Opera Mini features for Android users
Opera Mini has recently been updated for Android users, bringing a bunch of bug fixes along with stability and performance improvements.

Michael Huges helped translation work into English. Yuzo Shibata of President of the KGC gave us an insight to develop a concept of the Zukan.TV. Dr. Naoki Miyano of Kyoto University gave a lot of important advices on website plan and poster design. Yurina Nishiwaki was former manager of Zukan.TV and supported initial stage of the project. Sugar Sato, Masaki Morita and Masahiro Hirao of Kyoto University helped interviewers (specially Nipio, the first interviewer of the project) arrange their interviews. The Zukan.TV does exist because of all the people.

AIN al-BEIDA, Syria — Final exams were canceled in this farming village, but the concrete schoolhouse is full. The students have been replaced by anxious families seeking shelter from a violent crackdown on antigovernment protesters that has spread in recent weeks here to the rural northwestern corner of Syria.
Barely 1,000 people live in Ain al-Beida, tucked on a hillside in densely wooded mountains five miles from the border with Turkey. But the population has tripled in the past two weeks as residents of a nearby town, Badama, have fled the advance of the Syrian security forces, fearing an attack that has not yet materialized.
On Saturday morning, Syrian troops swept into Badama, according to news reports. The Associated Press, citing the Local Coordination Committees, a group that documents anti-government protests, said troops backed by six tanks and several armored personnel carriers, entered Badama in the morning. The Reuters news service, citing eyewitnesses, reported that troops arrested dozens of people and burned houses as they entered the town.
The forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad occupied a neighboring village, Dreibat, on Thursday, residents of Ain al-Beida said, although they did not advance on their village on Friday.
The security forces' brutal drive through Idlib Province has sent more than 8,000 people across the border into Turkey, where they are staying in tent camps set up by the Red Crescent. Thousands more are thought to be hiding in informal tent cities and small forest camps strung throughout the mountainous zone on the Syrian side of the border.
Here in Ain al-Beida, people are struggling to cope with an estimated 2,000 refugees who have sought shelter, living in cars and storerooms, at construction sites and in the school. The fortunate ones have been offered space in rough cinder block homes, on narrow streets that ramble down a slope from the border, with wire demarcations.Continue reading the main story
"Every classroom in the school houses at least three families, and every house in town is housing three or four — in my house there are four," said Ahmed, a resident who, like several others who were interviewed, gave only one name out of concern about retribution. He said most of the refugees had come from Badama and Jisr al-Shoughour, a major town in the province whose residents fled in advance of a military operation there last weekend.
Two weeks ago, fighting in Jisr al-Shoughour between security forces and military defectors or armed elements, or a mix of both, set the stage for the government's aggressive crackdown in the region.
Many refugees said they left Badama out of fear that their town could be the next one to feel the government's anger. Sheik Eyad Hassoun, 32, is from Badama, but leads prayers in the village mosque in Ain al-Beida. On Friday, he sat with a dozen men on thin mattresses in a tent pitched in a pasture above the town, just a few feet from the Turkish border. The men smoked cigarettes and grimly watched Al Jazeera's coverage of protests in two Syrian cities, Homs and Hama, on a television connected by an extension cord to a distant cottage.
Sheik Hassoun left Badama after watching coverage of the military assault on Jisr al-Shoughour last Saturday and Sunday.
"I saw all the killing on TV and decided then to come here," he said. He said he felt safe so close to the border because he could easily escape a government attack, if it came.
Down the hill in Ain al-Beida's schoolhouse, the classrooms have been cleared of desks. Thin mattresses line the floors, and a jumble of pots and pans crowd around the blackboard. Electrical sockets are jammed with cellphone chargers. Children run across the schoolyard, whose wall has become a communal toilet.
"Life here is so hard," said Hassouni, 19, who said he fled Badama a week ago with his family after plainclothes forces loyal to Mr. Assad drove down the main road firing randomly at civilians. He said his family was reluctant to cross into Turkey, fearing they might never be able to return home, so they came to Ain al-Beida instead.
After a week in the school, Hassouni said he was beginning to think that his family would inevitably end up in Turkey. "Going to Turkey is the last thing we would do, but now I think it is certain," he said. "Things here will end. We will run out of food, and then we will have to go."
Entire towns and villages in the region have emptied out, with people fleeing from the security forces, bringing economic activity to a halt. The security forces have set up a formidable line of checkpoints across the province, people in Ain al-Beida said, trying to block the flow of goods and people to the border zone.
"There are still people inside Syria who want to come here, but it's forbidden," said Abdullah, 32, a refugee from Badama who sat watching Al Jazeera with Sheik Hassoun.
Residents and refugees get by on stored goods and fruit plucked from the orchards, but they said their most important lifeline was a vast network of circuitous and secret smugglers' paths that crisscross the fields and mountains leading to Turkey.
"We don't get enough to eat; it all depends on what comes in from Turkey," said Samar, 26, who left Badama with her husband and three young children. They were squatting in a bare room in an unfinished building overlooking a steep valley and Turkish military posts atop mountains on the other side. "It is our only source of food."Continue reading the main story

Widnes Vikings assistant head coach Mick Cassidy has spoke to the Vikings Media Team about the Club's pre-season schedule ahead of the season opener against Huddersfield Giants.
Key Quotes
Mick on the Club's pre-season schedule - It's been quite tough, obviously there's been a couple of personnel changes and our squad is looking quite young. I think Bubble, (Chris Baron), has really tested them this year and has put them through their paces and to places they haven't been before and it has really tested their mental strength.
On the WAKTU training camp - It was interesting, simple as that. What we talked about with WAKTU was putting the lads out of their comfort zone and testing them a little bit like getting them up in the middle of the night or taking them on hikes, up hills and carrying each other and seeing how they react and try and mirror what it's like under pressure in a game and the lads have come through it really well.
On the Chapelhow twins - The two main guys that were going to see a lot of this year (from the youth talent in the squad) are Ted and Jay Chapelhow. Jay came through at the end of the year and did well, and in pre-season they have both showed they have stepped up to the mark. We always talk to players about pre-season being the place where everyone is at the same level, and you get opportunities to train harder and get above the senior players and that's what they've done.
Watch the full interview with Mick Cassidy above.

Today, Aug. 25, 2016, I drove to Flint Michigan to participate in the 1 mile open race for walkers and runners. As I walked I kept thinking of the Dory song "Just keep swimming", but changed it to "just keep walking".
After completing the race in under 24 minutes, I now am the proud owner of a heavy "M" medal for 1 mile. I'm very proud of myself and what I can do when I set my mind to it.

Champion Orientate to Northview Stallion Station
Champion sprinter Orientate will relocate to stand the 2013 breeding season at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, Md.
The 15-year-old Mt. Livermore horse, owned by a syndicate, will stand for a fee of $5,000 when the foal stands and nurses.
Orientate had stood his entire career to date at Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Ky., where he entered stud in 2003. He most recently stood for a fee of $7,500 in 2012.
"We're excited for the opportunity to bring Orientate to breeders in the region," Northview president and chief executive officer Richard Golden said. "He consistently gets a great number of winners, with high earning potential, and can get Grade 1 winners. He proved his class as a racehorse and, being a Blushing Groom line stallion out of a Turn-to line mare, offers breeders a pedigree free of Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector."
Orientate won six stakes races in 2002 to earn the Eclipse Award as champion sprinter. He capped his campaign with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Sprint, his second Grade 1 triumph of 2002 after winning the Forego Stakes. He retired with 10 wins from 19 career starts and earnings of $1,716,950.
From his first seven crops of racing age, Orientate has produced 421 winners—including 35 stakes winners—for total progeny earnings of $33,972,983 through Jan. 30. His top runners include Lady Joanne, a three-time graded stakes winner who captured the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes in 2007; Grade 1 winner Intangaroo; and Grade 2 winners Kara's Orientation, Great Hot and Greenspring.
Orientate is also the broodmare sire of 2012 champion 2-year-old male Shanghai Bobby, who was produced from his stakes winning daughter Steelin'.
Out of the Grade 1-winning Cox's Ridge mare Dream Team, Orientate is a half-brother to stakes winner Stalwartly.

ProSource360 believes that protecting network medical devices is an essential component of patient safety issues above and beyond the FDA's efforts and recommendations that manufacturers consider controls such as limiting access to devices via authentication features, using layered authorization models based on specific user needs, and implementing methods for retention and recovery of device configuration by authenticated users.
It is incumbent that medical facilities ensure formal hazard analysis of the risks associated with devices include information technology i.e. software vulnerabilities be considered as a standard manner in which to manage medical devices used within their facilities. Cyber security risks have to be addressed via a formal and methodical approach. Failure to heed the recommendations on the implementation of appropriate controls or documentation of those controls could result in endangering patients, and harming the risk associated with practicing modern medicine. Effective cybersecurity management is intended to reduce the risk to patients by decreasing the likelihood that device functionality is intentionally or unintentionally compromised by inadequate cybersecurity.
Key challenges in Medical Device Management in 2015:
- Alarm hazards: Inadequate alarm configuration policies and practices

IEC 80001-1:2010 does not specify acceptable risk levels. IEC 80001-1:2010 applies after a medical device has been acquired by a responsible organization and is a candidate for incorporation into an IT-network. It applies throughout the life cycle of IT-networks incorporating medical devices.
IEC 80001-1:2010 applies where there is no single medical device manufacturer assuming responsibility for addressing the key properties of the IT-network incorporating a medical device. IEC 80001-1:2010 applies to responsible organizations, medical device manufacturers and providers of other information technology for the purpose of risk management of an IT-network incorporating medical devices as specified by the responsible organization. It does not apply to personal use applications where the patient, operator and responsible organization are one and the same person.

Look Who Is Not Talking About Gay Marriage
Yesterday I got a call from a reporter from one of our state's larger newspapers. The newspaper wanted a comment from someone in the community to add a local perspective to all the national stories about the Supreme Court's hearings on marriage. Since I didn't live in that community, I wondered why she called me. What she said shocked me, particularly in view of what Christians will celebrate on Sunday.
As I listened to her explanation, running through the back of my mind was how often God said to his people, "Don't be afraid."
When I hung up, I couldn't help but think about the fact that it was at this very time of year that Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, said to his disciples, "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me."
Fear is natural to our present human condition. It comes to us easily. Courage is hard to come by. In fact, in 1978, Russian dissident and winner of a Nobel Prize in Literature, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, told the students at Harvard:
"A decline in courage may be the most striking feature which an outside observer notices in the West in our days. The Western world has lost its civil courage. . . . Of course there are many courageous individuals but they have no determining influence on public life."
If that was his observation in 1978, how much more so could it be said today. And the newspaper reporter's call confirmed it.
Here is very close paraphrase of what the reporter said:
"I can't find anyone locally who wants to say anything in opposition to gay marriage. I've called 30 area ministers and no one has returned my calls."
She also said they had a hard time the week before finding a minister from a theologically conservative church who would comment on a local gay blessing ceremony.
I was flabbergasted. And interestingly, she was, too. She did say that it was possible that nobody had had time to call her back, and the next day she told me someone had called her back that evening, after hours. But two weeks in a row of virtual silence and only one out of 30?
I couldn't help but think about the significance at Easter of the number 30. It is the number of pieces of silver that Judas took in compensation for his betrayal of Jesus.
Please understand I am not saying all 30 of those ministers or the ones called the week before are "Judases." Obviously, one of them called back and one did comment the previous week. And I know some ministers in that community who would have commented in a heartbeat had they been called or even had a moment to return the call. I know some of them are reading this. They know who they are, and I thank God for them.
But let's be honest. If any of those who did not call back did not do so because they were afraid that something bad would come of their public statement in support of the very institution Scripture says reflects the relationship of Christ to His church, then that minister betrayed the Christ they say they serve. Is the Living God no longer able to support and sustain those who speak up for His institution?
When those who lead a particular church have no courage, then those in that church who follow them will have no courage, either. When a minister doesn't have the courage to speak the truth to those who are ostensibly there to hear the truth or when they don't know how to speak the truth graciously and redemptively enough to talk about critical issues, then maybe another calling is appropriate.
I know there will be those who would say that it is not the job of the church to talk about politics. Okay, but they ought to also oppose any teaching about Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling body, or his trial before Pilate. After all, those were political/governmental processes.
In fact, I don't see much difference contextually — one was a trial almost 2,000 years ago and it was a trial at issue this week. In the former the "groom" was on trial and in the latter it was His bride.
I also know there are those who will say that talking about politics could turn people off who will not be saved as a result. To them I would submit that God is able to save whom He chooses to save. If he's not the one who saves, then we Christians need to stop wasting time praying for God to save a friend or loved one and just get on with the business of saving that person ourselves.
It is ironic that this apparent demonstration of fear over the last two weeks by at least some ministers took place heading into and on Easter week. By the resurrection, God demonstrated the power to conquer death and Hell. There is nothing more that one man can do to another than to take his life. For those who believe the Easter message, death is therefore no reason for silence. If death is no reason for silence, then can a lesser consequence justify it? Oh, Lord, help our unbelief.
He is alive. He has risen. Now it is time for the historic, orthodox Church to come alive and rise up, too.

Ubud hotels - where to stay
It seems incredible that in the heart of the tropics there may be a cultural center for spiritual development, but the aesthetic Ubud is clear proof of this. There are no sandy beaches here that usually attract tourists but the poignant beauty of Ubud is able to turn every moment of your rest into a true bliss. Travelers come here to enjoy the beautiful nature, to stay alone. Ubud hotels maintain a peaceful atmosphere offering the customers private villas at their complete disposal where nothing disturbs the peace and quiet (Kayumanis Ubud, Bidadari Private Villas & Retreat).
What to do and what to see
You can visit a few fun activities within the city on your own: Monkey Forest, temple complexes, Barong dance shows, art galleries and museums. Those who like to bring an exclusive little piece of home decor from the journey will find a huge selection of craft products in Ubud: painted fabrics, carvings, jewelry, dishes, and furniture. The city cafes and restaurants also belong to the category of interest, often, the view of the rice fields and river valleys is no less fascinating than the delicious local cuisine, such as Babi Guling (roast piglet). If you plan excursions to waterfalls, coffee plantations, and volcanoes you should use the services of a guide. Being on a trip with the kids be sure to take an elephant ride, then go to the park of birds and reptiles and take photos with the marvelous creatures. As for extreme entertainments there is rafting, especially in the rainy season when the water level is high.
Where to stay
If you are ready to spend 150-300 Euros per night for accommodation then you will be guaranteed the perfect conditions, pay attention to Kupu Kupu Barong Villas and Tree Spa, Nandini Bali Jungle Resort & Spa, Furama Villas & Spa, Maya Resort and Spa, Kajane Mua Private Villa & Mansion. There are also worthy offers up to 100 Euros/day: Tepi Sawah Villas & Spa Hotel, Villa Cempaka Hotel, Pertiwi Resort & Spa, Motama Villa. The regular rooms or self-catering apartments in a nice hotel in Ubud are much cheaper, however, the quality of the service is high everywhere. Not far from the busy streets of Jalan Hanoman and Monkey Forrest there are plenty of guest houses with the price range of 20-30 Euros/day (Pondok Frog Guest House, Nick's Pension, Nani House 2).

Nokia's long focus on emerging cell phone markets was further solidified today when it unveiled three low-priced phones in Finland. The three models offer varied designs and features sets, but all come in at under $135 (100 euros) without a contract.
The Nokia 2720 Fold offers a thin, flip-phone design in black or deep red. Nokia emphasizes that the front face of the phone acts as a mirror, though we're not sure how that helps a user "stay organized with easy access to e-mail, calendar, Internet connectivity, and file sharing applications." Features include Bluetooth, a personal organizer, messaging and e-mail, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a music player, an FM radio, a voice recorder, a wireless Web browser, and a speakerphone. It comes in two dual-band versions: GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800.
Moving up the scale a bit is the Nokia 2730 Classic. The quad-band GSM handset supports four WCDMA (3G) bands, making it a super world phone. Inside, you'll find a speakerphone, messaging and e-mail, a wireless Web browser, a music player, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, PC syncing, GPS with Nokia Maps, and a personal organizer. The candy-bar model also has a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headset jack.
Back in flip-phone land, the Nokia 7020 comes in hot pink and graphite. Features include a 2-megapixel camera, a speakerphone, a music player, voice commands, GPS with Nokia Maps, Bluetooth, a personal organizer, messaging and e-mail, and a wireless Web browser. The 7020 is a quad-band world phone with support for EDGE networks.

UK National Health Service "paying too much" for drugs
We distort, you deride

ANTRIM, Scotland -- The Office of Fair Trading has found the NHS is paying Columbian drug cartels hundreds of millions of pounds too much for raw cocaine and other illicit narcotics, it has been reported. The NHS spends some £107bn annually on running drugs such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis and Haemorrhoid cream.
It is understood the watchdog has concluded the Columbians have been "pulling a fast one" over the NHS for years. It is thought that one shipment of Cocaine cost the NHS £50 million, thought to be more that 20% over the going rate.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We are grateful to the Office of Fair Trading for this report and we will be speaking to the Columbians in due course. If a satisfactory agreement is not reached we fully intend to move our custom to Afghanistani Warlords, who are growing a fine crop of poppies these days."
A Conservative member of the Commons health select committee said "what we need to do is make an example of these greasy bastards and blow a few kneecaps off. Its all about respect in this game. If we don't have that then we may as well shoot ourselves!"
Columbian cartel spokesman Pablo Ariba was unrepentant last night, "Hey, we're not f***ing Tesco you know! Our customers pay the price we ask or someone loses an eye or maybe a wife goes 'missing', Maybe a few cars 'blow up'. If they want our protection I would strongly recommend they continue to buy our high quality product. Then everybody's happy no?"

If you are like me, you spend a lot of time reading articles from technical magazines. Sometimes I read the
entire article, but usually I just scan the text for highlights and look at the schematics, block diagrams, and
charts / graphs. Often, I want to go back and find an article but cannot recall where I saw it. A Google search
will usually eventually reveal a hyperlink to the article, but a lot of times it takes a lot of digging. Since
my key interests are not necessarily the same as RF Cafe visitors, an attempt will be made to catalog all of them.
If there is a magazine not included here that you would like me to include in the list, please send me an e-mail
and I will try to incorporate its articles, too.

Look! Pam Garrison's Memento Wall
We envy people who have the patience and creativity to properly showcase their memories and the little, precious scraps of life. Luckily, Pam Garrison's got patience and creativity in spades, and has just finished a wall art project that shows it.
The project includes shells collected from childhood, and a family photo, above. The photo has a little bottle hanging from it to the side, which she intends to use to collect sand or water from a family trip, adding to the intensely personal aspect of the display.

"Men in Black 3" has got the MIB mojo back — well, most of it anyway. With Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones once again suited up and sporting shades as agents J and K, and a casting coup in Josh Brolin playing K's younger self, the latest alien crisis is good trippy fun as the fate of Earth, and '60s retro style, hang in the balance.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld, who's been onboard from the first film, has recovered some of the brashness and all of the unbridled affection for the weird, wonky otherworldly types that made the initial 1997 cosmic comedy such a kick. "3" is a more restrained affair, but it kind of suits the guys now that an entire decade has passed since the disappointing "Men in Black II." Let's just let that poor sap rest in peace.
In a sense, that's the film's opening gambit — a funeral for one of the agency's own that essentially represents the passing of an era with K (Jones) delivering the driest eulogy in memory. But "MIB 3" is not content to leave the past alone, and neither is a very crusty alien called Boris the Animal ("Flight of the Conchord's" Jemaine Clement is proving once again how well crazy suits him). He is 40 years into a life sentence for some very bad behavior but determined to find a way to get back to the '60s so he can reclaim, well, a little piece of his former self.

A pensioner in England has discovered a 135-million-year old fossil of a plesiosaur's paddle bone in his garden rockery.
Last week stunned John was told the results, which showed it was part of a Plesiosaur's paddle bone from the Jurassic period in "stunning condition".
Experts described it as "very rare", as it has been so well preserved that blood vessels are still visible in the 12 by 8 inches (20 by 30cm) rock.
Retired British Gas meter reader John, who lives with wife Eileen, 70, in a two-bed bungalow in Downham Market, Norfolk, said it was lucky he never threw it away.
He said: "When we moved in I thought it seemed different to any other rock I had seen but I didn't know what it was so I just left it in the garden.
"But we were curious about it for a number of years and I thought I'm going to find out about it.
