The woman undressed and got on stage with her male partner, who used a device that looks like a machine-powered saw with a phallic object instead of a blade. Melvoin-Berg said the couple are exhibitionists who enjoy having people watch them have sex, and they were not paid for the demonstration.

I am the living embodiment of Underdog. I am an improvisational dancer and choreographer. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. I am known for my character portrayals, my costumes and for making many appearances on TV and in parades.

My first public performance was in 1976 in Philadelphia where I danced Dracula. From there I took up touring on stage and television. In 1980 I began appearing in science fiction conventions and costume sontests and become identified with TV cartoon superhero Underdog. Besides Underdog I am also known for doing Dracula, Supergirl and Catwoman. My self-created characters include Spectrum the Ghost King, Shelley the South Jesrey Mermaid and the Yellow Angel.

He faced a number of clinical and conduct charges, including:

- Breaking wind during appointments
- Telling a patient he had bad breath
- Exposing a nurse to X-ray radiation
- Making derogatory comments about unemployed patients
- Asking patients to show their money before providing treatment
- Pushing a nervous teenage patient back into his chair, telling him: "You will sit and let me do it"

Between 1887 and 1892, John C.H. Grabill sent 188 photographs to the Library of Congress for copyright protection. Grabill is known as a western photographer, documenting many aspects of frontier life – hunting, mining, western town landscapes and white settlers’ relationships with Native Americans. Most of his work is centered on Deadwood in the late 1880s and 1890s. He is most often sited for his photographs in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Mayan crystal skull believed to have been owned by SS chief Heinrich Himmler discovered in Germany


by Greig Box-Turnbull, Daily Mirror 10/03/2011

A MYSTERIOUS crystal skull thought to have belonged to Hitler’s SS chief Heinrich Himmler has been discovered in Germany.
The artefact, found resting on a beam beneath the roof of a house in a Bavarian village, has excited treasure hunters.
They believe it may be part of a larger trove of bounty once owned by the most sinister man in Nazi Germany.
Indications are that it was part of a series worshipped by ancient Mayan cultures in what is now Mexico – where, legend has it, the skulls are vital to stop the world ending next year.
Himmler, who oversaw the extermination of Jews, was spellbound by myths and legends until his suicide after being captured by the British.
He financed expeditions all over the world by Indiana Jones-type SS men seeking proof of the “supremacy” of Aryan man.

The skull, which weighs nearly 20lbs, is of the same design as the death’s head on the uniforms of Himmler’s henchmen.
It was found in the home of an old lady once married to a high-ranking SS officer and is now in the hands of Swiss journalist Luc Burgin, who said: “I am 99% sure that this is one of the skulls of the Mayans, but we need clarity and all available tests will be carried out to ascertain authenticity.”
It is believed a list of 35 other missing Nazi treasures was found with it.
The Mayans shaped 13 crystal skulls, of which nine were coloured and represented the races of men and four were as clear as glass to represent “the beasts that walk, crawl, slide and fly”.
They were sent to their places of “birth” until such time when all were needed to avert the catastrophe man would wreak on the planet.
The Mayans, gifted astronomers and mathematicians, calculated a date for this “end of days” - the winter solstice, December 21, 2012.

Cognitive scientist Deb Roy blew the curve for Flip cam-packing proud pops. Since he and his wife brought their son home from the hospital, Roy has captured his every movement and word with a series of fisheye-lens cameras installed in every room. The purpose was to understand how we learn language.

Humans and chimpanzees share more than 97% of DNA, but there are some fairly obvious differences in appearance, behavior and intellect. Now, scientists are learning more than ever about what makes us uniquely human.

We know that humans have larger brains and, within the brain, a larger angular gyrus, a region associated with abstract concepts. Also, male chimpanzees have smaller penises than humans, and their penises have spines. Not like porcupine needles or anything, but small pointy projections on the surface that basically make the organ bumpy.

Ark Music Factory, the people behind the video, is a LA-based company ran by Patrice Wilson and Clarence Jay. They cater to wealthy parents with adolescent daughters (aged 13 to 17) who want to be pop stars. In their casting calls, they seek out young talent with no original material and produce auto-tuned music along with an accompanying video. Many of their videos (see City Sound Inertia for examples) are as laughably bad as Black’s, but not nearly as popular

We weren’t sure the video was real, our readers certainly weren’t buying it either.

It has emerged that the video, uploaded by YouTube user BITcrash44, is part of a very clever marketing campaign for a new movie named “Limitless”, starring Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) and Robert Di Nero which will be released on March 18.

Yesterday, a second video was uploaded to the same YouTube channel, this time with an extended introduction, and the films’ trailer at the end:

How cool would it be not just to read about the craziness of quantum mechanics, but to see it—even better, do it—for yourself? Several years ago I asked virtuoso experimental physicist Paul Kwiat whether he could develop a simple demonstration anyone could do at home, and he and his undergraduate student Rachel Killmer came up with a "quantum eraser". This week I got to see another big step toward the era of quantum homebrewers. Tucked away in a booth in the exhibit tent at the German Physical Society conference, Munich-based start-up company qutools showed off the world's cheapest kit for seeing quantum entanglement: spooky action at a distance.

While researching for this article I came across a searing indictment by Clarke on the American capitalist system. After observing that the structure of American society may be unfitted for the effort that the conquest of space demands he continued, "No nation can afford to divert its ablest men into essentially non-creative and occasionally parasitic occupations such as law, insurance and banking". He also referred to a photograph in Life Magazine showing 7,000 engineers massed behind a new model car they had produced as ‘a horrifying social document'. He was appalled by the squandering of technical manpower it represented.

Ah, I don't know about that. It'd be a little "HEY! LOOK AT ME!" and people are reposting the redesigns enough that I'm sure it'll find it's way in front of Internet Jesus eventually.

If you watch Jurassic Park backwards, it’s the heartwarming tale of scientists and dinosaurs working together to build an amusement park. Then the people betray the dinosaurs, putting them in cages and ultimately flying back to Montana to bury any evidence they existed at all.

If you watch Leaving Las Vegas backwards, its about Nicolas Cage coming back from the dead and drinking so much alcohol that he becomes healthy again.

As Japan was violently assaulted, Christchurch crumbled and Queensland drowned, how many times did you hear a journalist say;"there are no words to describe what we are seeing here".
Perhaps you heard; "I'm speechless. This just defies description".
The ashen-faced reporters are both wrong and right.
There most certainly are words to describe the current state of the world, and yet it is true they seem entirely inadequate.
That is because journalists and the media they work for have squandered our best words with decades of hyperbole.

Cheeky painter Harland Miller creates irreverent reinterpretations of Penguin Classics. The paintings, many of which he compiled in a 2007 Rizzoli book, often prod at a deeper truth about the author or text, or just plain make fun

Netflix, the film and television subscription service, has taken a big step into territory dominated by broadcasters and pay-TV operators after entering exclusive talks to buy US rights to a new political series starring Kevin Spacey. Its bid could reach as high as $100m.

Each year, dozens of shows on network and cable television get cancelled. Most of these cancellations are for good reason. But every once in a while the hammer comes down on a show that’s considered to be a cult hit — or one that could turn out to be a real hit, if given more time. The problem, of course, is that these shows often don’t have the massive viewership numbers to sell a large amount of advertising against. But that model doesn’t apply to Netflix.
While shows that are called “cult hits” are often thought of as mainstream flops, the reality is that they still have millions of people who watch them. And the “cult” aspect implies that a large percentage of those viewers are insanely loyal to the show. Again, that doesn’t mean much to the networks where more is better (for advertising), but for Netflix, if they could convert a significant percentage of those loyalists in to paying customers, it works.

Not only that, but the heart symbol -- not the <3 emoticon, the actual ? graphic -- has also made it in.

A country has “food sovereignty” when its people consume safe and nutritious food largely grown by their own small farmers. Significantly fewer countries sustain this sovereignty today than a generation ago

Currently, the World Organisation for Animal Health recognizes countries to be in one of three disease states with regards to FMD: FMD present with or without vaccination, FMD-free with vaccination, and FMD-free without vaccination. Countries that are designated FMD-free without vaccination have the greatest access to export markets, and therefore many developed nations, including Canada, the United States, and the UK, work hard to maintain their current FMD-free without vaccination status.

Tune for Two

Here's my new vid - a cover of a song by one of my favourite bands.
The track is made live using a guitar, beatbox, voice and an RC-50 loop station.
The reverb on the vocals at the end is off a Kaoss Pad which only features at the end for the reverb effect (u can see 2 but that's to do a different track we filmed after!)
There's nothing prerecorded or added post recording, it's all live!

Police in southern Germany warned this week of a dangerous new form of alcohol abuse among teens – using tampons soaked in vodka to get drunk quickly and hide the smell. The practice poses grave health risks, they said.
In early March a 14-year-old girl collapsed during a street festival in Konstanz, apparently highly intoxicated from using a vodka tampon, the paper reported.

Texas: The Brazoria County District Attorney's office has droppped the charge of negligent homicide against a woman who gave her husband a fatal sherry enema (SN reported) citing lack of evidence.
The woman, 45-year-old Tammy Jean Warner, gave her husband two large bottles of sherry by enema in 2004. Her husband, 58-year-old Michael Warner, died as a result. His blood-alcohol content was 0.47.
Her husband was unable to ingest sherry the conventional way due to a throat condition. According to Tammy Warner he was an enema addict who often used alcohol rectally. She denies causing the death.
