Say, did you know there's a new Toyota Supra? Anyone heard anything about that? Probably not, since this was a car that was almost never discussed or relentlessly teased for what feels like a decade. Well, it's finally here, and you can get in in some pretty cool colors.
As a quick recap, the new Supra—technically the 2020 Toyota GR Supra, for Gazoo Racing—has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 335 horsepower allowing the car to sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. That's awesome. The platform and engine both come from BMW, and the car's only available with an automatic transmission, which some folks feel is not quite as awesome.
We will have to wait to see how the final production version of the car drives, but based on reviews from the prototypes the new Supra is a serious sports car. It will initially launch in three flavors: the launch edition that starts at $55,250, the 3.0 Premium with an MSRP of $53,990 and the base 3.0 with a sticker price of $49,990. Beyond that, we don't know much about additional options and packages but we do know what colors you can get.
Personally, I'm a sucker for dark blue or as Toyota calls it Downshift Blue, though that may make me a bit boring.
The rest of the Jalop staff was excited about the Nitro Yellow, though I imagine if you get this color you are obligated to hook up the biggest can of NOS you can in the trunk.
And of course there is the Phantom Matte Grey that won't be available until the Fall, but it this color harks back to the super cool FT-1 concept that eventually morphed into the Supra.
The Launch Edition cars come in the standard Absolute Zero White, Nocturnal Black and Renaissance Red, but are accented with black wheels and red mirror caps.
Standard black looks plenty classy too.
Then of course in true Toyota fashion, there's four shades of gray-white-silver to choose from.
The GR Supra should be arriving in dealerships soon, and you can expect those stores to crank up the price with "market adjustments" accordingly. See all the colors on Toyota's site here.


The launch of the NOAA-N and -N' spacecraft will bring about a number of changes compared to the preceding NOAA KLM series of NOAA satellites. These changes are associated with: the substitution of the (MHS) for the AMSU-B instrument; replacement of HIRS/3 with HIRS/4 instrument.
Additionally the change to the Delta-7320-10C launch vehicle enables direct orbit insertion, so the solid rocket motor has been omitted in these two satellites.
NOAA N' was severly damaged in an factory accident in September 2003.

Just as Pixar's 1995 groundbreaker Toy Story set the stage for practically every animated CGI family film to follow, it's increasingly obvious that Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas from a couple of years before remains the yardstick and clear inspiration for the majority of stop-motion features (that don't come from the Aardman studios) that have come since and, it has to be said, remain in its shadow. None more true is this than about the pictures from Laika Studios, which itself launched with a film from Nightmare's director, Henry Selick, the very well received Coraline, in which the Burton influence was very prevalent.
The feeling continues, right from the opening scenes, in their latest movie, The Boxtrolls, an elaborate fantasy which actually seems to have more of a visual and tonal connection to Nightmare than even Burton's later Corpse Bride and, especially, the strangely distant Frankenweenie. However, Selick has long been gone from the studio, and this film's world of Cheesebridge, production influences aside, isn't Burton's world, however deep the similarities may run, and as The Boxtrolls played out it was refreshing to also spot clear influences from classic Disney, Aardman's films, Fantastic Mr Fox (perhaps its closest kin), and even a bit of Monty Python (an element pleasingly confirmed in the end credits).
Visually The Boxtrolls is spectacular, with a hugeness in scale that has become a Laika trademark, but totally preserving the magic that stop-motion has over the super-smoothness of CG. While not perhaps as so fluid as the sublimely animated ParaNorman, which sometimes resembled something rendered on a computer as opposed to the hand-crafted look and feel of stop-motion, The Boxtrolls conversely has that unmistakable tactile touch…its exquisite animation providing a fine showcase for its artists, clearly the best in the business at this point, and this kind of animation artform.
However, when it comes to their stories, Laika struggle to compete with their closes rivals Aardman, and here again I wasn't sure why Eggs, the human boy the trolls have taken in and raised as one of their own, wore a box (marked "Eggs", hence the name) on top of his regular clothes underneath, other than for a need to fit in which isn't particularly explored. Likewise, I wasn't too sure about the context of the story…we're kind of dropped right into proceedings, with Eggs' adoption by the trolls, his ability to suddenly speak after years being raised by grunting creatures, and the trolls' own backstory all very vague in the movie's execution.
That said, The Boxtrolls does zip through its running time and, even if it's not always conventionally coherent, the various scenes whizz through and there's always something happening, even if we're not always sure what, or why. Also, the second half becomes much more focused, especially when we do get that much-needed trolls backstory, why Eggs fits into their world and a long-thought lost character makes a late reappearance, although there still feels a slight disconnect between some of the principal vocalists and their visual counterparts, especially newcomer Isaac Hempstead Wright being the most inexperienced, and Elle Fanning (otherwise so great in Super 8 and Maleficent), whose character displays more in her many excellent visual expressions than through her not young enough sounding voice.
The best of them is none other than Ben Kingsley as arch villain Archibald Snatcher, really having fun and playing with the confines of an animation vocal, reminding me of Horace from One Hundred And One Dalmatians, and Timothy Spall in snivelling grovel mode, particularly his parts in Enchanted and as Beadle Bamford in Burton's Sweeney Todd. Snatcher really is a magnificent villain, and the film is easily Kingsley's to own, largely spreading a broad theatricality throughout the film that's also present in the intricate design, where a little Hammer Horror filters through the foggy streets, and the trolls themselves are often reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty's goblins and the original Gremlins in vision and sound.
So with the strength of a good villain we can boo and hiss at in Kingsley's Snatcher and the visually inventive feast of so many different melting pot references, why didn't The Boxtrolls perform more healthily at the box office? Release dates play a part, of course, and the film came at the tail end of How To Train Your Dragon 2's massively successful run but slightly too early to catch the Halloween slot that The Book Of Life went on to do very well in, but it seems Universal have been pleased enough with their returns on the film as they have extended their deal with Laika for a further number of outings.
Releasing under Universal's "independent" Focus Features label as opposed to the main unit's home to Illumination Entertainment and their Despicable Me franchise, Laika and their films certainly have their own voice, with none of their features so far falling into any discernible category and a stubborn unwillingness to play to the easy commercial mentality just to boost the bottom line – you could even say they think outside the box! As such their films can take a turn out of left field and, although The Boxtrolls is more straight forward and enjoyable a film than their last, ParaNorman, there are still one or two somewhat random, what the heck and occasionally gross or scary moments to be had here.
Otherwise, however, The Boxtrolls at least represents something different in animation to all the played-for-laughs animal buddy movies we usually get, and it's a kids film that, as with Laika's breakthrough Coraline, will provide a little more stimulation for younger eyes as a result. It's not as solid a film as that, and everything all gets a bit Wild Wild West with its giant mechanical monster towards the end but, whatever else, this is a unique film in the current mainstream animation landscape, and one that doesn't allow itself to be categorised in any one box, which in itself really is quite refreshing.
As has been the case with each Laika feature to come to disc before it, Universal has packed everything it can into the box to reveal all about the animated stop-motion filmmaking process. Top of the list is a Feature Commentary with directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi, who talk just as much about developing the story as they do about the animation, elaborating upon the differences between the book and their film. With what they say here, it sounds as if the book needed quite a slimming down in order to work for the screen, and although it does shed light on some of the more random moments and choices, it also suggests where the film may have struggled to get its ideas across. It's a good track, since the filmmakers have delved so fully into the Boxtrolls' world that they're able to speak on all the aspects of the production, though it's not always particularly engrossing and some revealed CG tricks actually take away from the presumed stop-motion awesomeness.
A group of near-twenty minutes' worth of Preliminary Animatic Sequences offers up optional commentary with the director duo but also includes good few deleted or alternate moments and concepts, coming from the storyboard process of the film when elements were subject to change. Dare To Be Square: The Making Of The Boxtrolls runs a bunch of production featurettes (Voicing The Boxtrolls, Inside The Box, The Big Cheese: Allergy Snatcher, Deconstructing The Dance and Think Big: The Mecha Drill) to over a half hour of behind the scenes content, covering the vast scope of the making of the film from voices to effects with enough discussion so as to cover the basics and more, although again the number of CG tricks do detract from the overall achievement: great as that technology may be in creating larger scale sequences it does feel that a lot of "cheats" have been deployed here.
A further selection of behind the scenes featurettes looks into several aspects of the production with a little more of a promotional slant, although the play all option runs them all (The Nature Of Creation, Trolls Right Off The Tongue, Allergic To Easy, Let's Dance and On The Shoulders Of Giants) as something of an additional "making of" lasting nearly 15 minutes. Everything from the design and manufacturing of the sets and props, to the Boxtrolls' language and animation is touched on and, although there's some repetition in these pre-release pieces, they offer an alternate approach and are great to have on the disc itself.
The disc also sports some teasers for other Universal family titles, with a hitherto unknown about Curious George 3: Back To The Jungle (with cheaper looking animation closer to the TV show than the theatrical first or video sequel) and The Tale Of Princess Kaguya playing at the top of the disc, and Blu-ray teasers for The Nut Job, the Despicable movies, Laika's previous pair (Coraline and ParaNorman) and a somewhat questionable new outing for The Little Rascals, Save The Day, which feels a touch freaky, archaic and just a little bit wrong on several levels, for whatever various reasons.
A standard BD case's sleeve art is replicated on a nice slipcover, different to the standard non-3D edition. Being a 3D set, it was a surprise to see a dimensional lenticular card on the front of the cover as was the norm when BD-3D discs first started to emerge. Not always successful at presenting the artwork to an advantage (like the dimming effect result of having to wear the 3D specs to watch a film, I sometimes found the lenticular sleeves took just as much away from the clarity of the image as they did add a supposed depth), here the effect works well enough and the decent print quality helps the characters to come alive on the front of the box.
This edition of The Boxtrolls offers up both the "flat" and 3D versions on just the one disc along with all the extras, so we can only assume that the separately available flat version is a BD25 disc that replicates one of the layers of this dual-layer 50gb BD that serves both formats in one. If not then it's a sorry state of affairs when the space-hogging 3D doesn't get the bandwidth it really needs and the flat edition also doesn't get room to shine as it should, but having said that I couldn't see any issues relating to compression problems and the short-ish hour and a half length means there isn't too much packed on the platter. In terms of the added-D, the tactile nature of real sets and figures plays to the strengths of the stop motion technique, with enough of a handful of pop-out shots to match the usual use of depth in the format.
Matching the intricate visuals, the mostly bombastic DTS-HD Master Audio track pulls out all the stops, and although I've made my comments clear as regards to many of what I felt were lackluster vocalists, the rest of the soundtrack is as first rate as one would expect from a Skywalker Sound mix. English, Spanish and French flavors are all available in their 5.1 DTS-HD MA originals.
With more than a touch of Roald Dahl, there's a quirky Britishness that extends throughout The Boxtrolls, mainly down to the many Britcom vocalists (including Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade and Simon Pegg) and even a song contributed by Python's Eric idle. Ben Kingsley's stab at an animated villain steals the show for sure, but once again Laika's visual mastery isn't always matched by its storytelling. That said, there's lots to see in The Boxtrolls that keeps it visually interesting, and Universal's typically packed disc (too pricey at $50 retail for the 3D when the standard edition can be had for just over $20 after discounts) once again reveals the extraordinary work that goes into Laika's stop-motion process and ticks all the boxes.

Mercifully, Brett Favre's NFL games started streak is over!
On December 14, 2010, In Football, Hockey, By Big Mouth
After 297 consecutive NFL starts, Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre's streak is over.
Brett Favre's NFL games started streak ended last night (in Detroit) at 297 games. It will be the best thing for everyone involved.
Thank God. Games-played streaks, in sports, are cancer. They do absolutely nothing to enhance the structure or work ethic of a team. All they do is put unneeded pressure and stress on players, head coaches, general managers and just about everyone else involved with a team. And, if the number-lovin' media didn't keep hammering streak stats into our heads, we'd all be better off for it. In the history of any game, there's never been a games played streak that did anyone any good.
Consecutive games streaks mean only one thing – that a player isn't prone to injury. That's it. They don't mean he or she's a great player. They don't mean a player is highly skilled. All they mean is that the injury bug doesn't bite very often. Other than that…meaningless.
Garry Unger played 914 consecutive NHL games in a streak that, by its end, was a problem for his team.
Calgary native Garry Unger once held the NHL's ironman streak at 914 games. He played in every game for which he was eligible between February 24, 1968 (with the Detroit Red Wings) and December 21, 1979 (with the Atlanta Flames). That includes 11 consecutive seasons of never missing a single game. In fact, during the 1970-71 season, Unger was traded from Detroit to St. Louis and played in 79 games. In those days, an NHL season was 78 games long. But here's where the problem comes in.
In Atlanta, the NHL furor surrounding Unger's streak became insane. Unger was 32 years old in December 1979. And he was not the point-per-game player he used to be earlier in his career. But the streak continued. It had a life of its own. It HAD to continue, right? Even though Unger wasn't playing well enough to warrant a roster spot, it HAD to continue. Then, on December 22nd, in St. Louis, Flames' head coach Al MacNeil had endured enough. Unger dressed for the game, but simply sat on the bench. Late in the third period, with his teammates realizing that Unger had not taken a shift, the players waved him on as they came off, yelling, "Ungie, Ungie!" Legend has it that MacNeil grabbed the back of Unger's jersey to prevent him from jumping the boards and getting a shift. The streak ended that night – because it had clearly become a distraction to the team. MacNeil did the right thing, but was vilified for it by some.
In New York and Minnesota, Brett Favre tried to re-capture his Green Bay glory. He was not successful.
Same goes for Favre's streak. In fact, everything Brett Favre has done since he ended his first of seventeen retirements to join the New York Jets has been a distraction. If you look at the list of NFL quarterbacks with the most consecutive starts, after Favre come Peyton Manning, Ron Jaworski, Tom Brady, Joe Ferguson, Eli Manning, Dan Marino, Johnny Unitas, Roman Gabriel, Jim "Don't-call-me-Chris" Everett and Richard Todd. Some big names in there…and a bunch of guys you possibly haven't heard of.
It proves that games played/started streaks are absolutely useless in determining a player's value to his club. Especially because, once the streak becomes larger than life (as Favre's and Unger's did), it distracts everyone from the true goal – winning.
Favre's Vikings aren't winners. Clearly, it appears his last retirement should have been final retirement. And anything that distracts a team from winning is, in sports, cancer.

Philadelphia native Kevin Eubanks grew up surrounded by music. His mother, Vera, was both a gospel and classical pianist, and his brothers Robin and Duane play trombone and trumpet respectively. Eubanks started as an elementary student playing violin, trumpet and piano and eventually found himself studying at Berklee College of Music. After graduating, he moved to New York City and started performing with legends such Art Blakey, Roy Haynes, and Sam Rivers, carving out a spot as the go-to guitarist in the New York jazz scene. In 1992 he moved to Los Angeles to join The Tonight Show Band and in '95 he replaced Branford Marsalis as the leader and served in that role for 15 years. Eubanks left the showin 2010 and has since released three albums with Mack Avenue Records: Zen Food, The Messenger and Duets (with Stanley Jordan).
In a career that took flight in 1985 with immediate commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility, respect and maverick daring. Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works—solo or with a group—Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected.

Viola was born August 9, 1944 in Gordon, Nebraska, daughter of Montie C. and Gertrude (Grover) Condry. When she was two years old, her father passed away and her step-father, Lloyd T. Lynes, raised her. Viola graduated from Hemingford High School with the class of 1962. She attended Western Nebraska Community College, where she received a degree in social work and in business administration from Rapid City, S.D. Viola married Larry W. Kelley on February 4, 1967 in Denver, Colorado. She retired from the Martin Luther Home in Hastings, Neb. Viola was a member of Lakeside Community Church, 4-H, and served as a Missionettes Leader. She kept a strong faith and cherished her family. Viola was very caring and never met a stranger.
Viola is survived by her husband of 48 years, Larry; three daughters, Cheri (Jeff) Ourada of Hastings, NE, Tanya (David) Montgomery of Scottsbluff, NE, and Trina (Dale) Rice of Hastings, NE; 12 grandchildren; Steven Montgomery, Jason (Aubrey) Pierce, Daniel Pierce, Tanya Reinpold (Rick Lockwood), Trista (Jovey) Olena, Nickole (David) Sheldon, Anthony (Alyssa) Pierce, Michael (Kayla) Pierce, Jaissa Pierce (Mark Harris), Catana Pierce, Quincey Brown, and D.J. Rice; 24 great grandchildren; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; step-father; brother, Montie Condry; sister, Dorothy Allen; grandson, Johnathan Kelley; and 2 great-grandchildren, Bentley and Emilia.
I also grew up in Hemingford and lived about 2 block from Viola. We spent time in the summer together and I loved her beautiful palamino horse. Viola was a very good rider and fun to be with. The picture was so like her, friendly, caring and a great smile. So sorry to hear of her death, my sincere condolences to her family.


The first problem with the rental car was turning it on. In less than 10 hours we would be wedged into a pedestrian street, considering the feasibility of a helicopter evacuation.
But first we had to get out of the rental car parking lot and none of the four adults in the car could figure out how to use the key. Maybe new cars don't need keys, I wondered, as I hovered the plastic knob around the steering wheel, willing the ignition to fire up. It occurred to us eventually that we had the key to the wrong car or, more accurately, we had the right key and were sitting in the wrong car. First problem solved and off we go to get properly lost in the highway system around Madrid.
Along the way to Andalusia, where we would later that evening be hopelessly trapped in a "street" shaped like a funnel, we stopped to admire the view of Toledo. Add another place to the return list. That afternoon, inspired by an Instagram post, we stopped in Consuegra, home of the windmills made iconic by Cervantes. We took mandatory selfies; what is this life?
As we traveled south, the landscape turned from flat and dusty to rolling and covered in olive trees. Soon there were snow-capped mountains in the distance. The sun was setting over Granada as we arrived. It was a romantic scene that tried to neutralize the growing pit in my stomach of arriving in a new city in the dark. I should have listened to my body's natural foreshadowing and parked the damn car in a garage.
Instead I found myself on an 8 foot wide cobblestone road on a 45 degree hill with a bus coming straight at us. A group of pedestrians were frantically waving me onto a side street that looked suspiciously like a staircase, but I was out of options, so I made my next mistake.
Why did our AirBnB host think this was possible? If he thought driving through the Albaicin, a neighborhood clearly designed for horses, in a mid-size rental car was a good idea, then he could come and drive us to his place himself. There was no danger of putting the car in park. No one else would be dumb enough to drive here, so we wouldn't block traffic. The road was now the width of the car and getting narrower.
Now I'm dreaming of a vertical evacuation via helicopter. Instead I start backing up. I have about 150 meters of winding pedestrian road to navigate backwards, in the dark. The car is trying to be helpful by incessantly beeping. Yes, I know I am about to hit a building!
Once I've gone as far as possible and the road has widened a bit, it is suggested by more helpful pedestrians that I need to do a three-point turn to navigate the next bit forwards and approach the main road. The road is narrower than the length of the car. Who are these people? Is there no geometry in Spain?
I may or may not be freaking out. I've been told it's hard to tell.
Still parked. Still no other people dumb enough to try to drive here. As I start to give up and consider making a run for it, I spot a garage. If it could be opened, I could turn around in there. The thought is barely formed before a car pulls up behind us trying to approach the garage. We are saved!
Stopped at a red light along the pleasantly four-lane main road, I feel the exhilaration of survival. I make a solemn promise to myself: only wide streets from now on. We will park in a parking garage! As we drive down the ramp and descend into the dim parking garage, the walls start to narrow and close in around us.

Obama Administration Seeks Supreme Court Review of Broadcast Indecency Regulations
The Obama Administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse two federal court of appeals decisions that it says "preclude the [Federal Communications] Commission from effectively implementing statutory restrictions on broadcast indecency that the agency has enforced since its creation in 1934." On April 21, the Administration filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the high court, seeking review of the decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Fox Television Stations, Inc. v. FCC and ABC, Inc. v. FCC. In those cases, the Second Circuit struck down the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) broadcast indecency regulations as impermissibly vague and vacated agency orders that found broadcasts including so-called "fleeting expletives" during Fox awards shows and seven seconds of nudity contained in an episode of ABC's NYPD Blue to be indecent.
At issue is whether the Commission can apply a contextual approach to indecency without violating First Amendment vagueness standards. Under its existing analysis, in order to determine whether broadcast content is actionably indecent, the Commission considers: (1) whether the material "describe[s] or depict[s] sexual or excretory organs or activities," and (2) whether the broadcast as a whole is "patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards." The administration argues that the Second Circuit decisions have stifled the FCC's ability to enforce indecency laws by "overturn[ing] the basic framework under which the Commission implements its longstanding statutory and regulatory prohibitions on indecent broadcasting."
In Fox, the FCC concluded that Fox's live broadcasts of the Billboard Music Awards in 2002 and 2003 violated the Commission's indecency regulations. The 2002 incident involved Cher's use of the "f-word" during an acceptance speech. On the same awards show the following year, Nicole Richie uttered both the "f-word" and the "s-word" during an exchange with her Simple Life co-star Paris Hilton about removing cow manure from a Prada purse. For many years, the FCC had taken a restrained approach toward sanctioning the use of isolated expletives on radio and television; the agency did not, therefore, issue a fine in the Fox case, because it concluded that licensees did not have notice at the time of the broadcast of the Commission's new, significantly tougher enforcement approach, which proscribed the broadcast of certain words the FCC determined were inherently profane and indecent.
Nevertheless, Fox appealed, and the Second Circuit concluded that the Commission "failed to articulate a reasoned basis" for changing its enforcement policy. The Supreme Court reversed, finding that the Commission's context-based approach was rational given the agency's Congressional mandate to protect children from indecent material and in light of "the pervasiveness of foul language" in entertainment programming. On remand, the Second Circuit issued a sweeping decision striking down the entire indecency policy on the grounds that it is "impermissibly vague."
Meanwhile, in ABC, the FCC concluded that an episode of NYPD Blue was "patently offensive" for including in its opening scene several shots of a woman's buttocks and the sides of her breasts. ABC argued the scene was intended to portray the awkwardness between a child and his parent's new romantic partner, and the difficulty of adjusting to the situation. The Commission, however, concluded the scene was "titillating and shocking," and imposed forfeitures of $27,500 each on several ABC affiliates in the Central and Mountain time zones, which aired the network program at 9 p.m. (before the start of the "safe harbor" for indecent programming that begins at 10 p.m.). On appeal, the Second Circuit vacated the FCC's order, ruling that the case was controlled by its holding in Fox that the indecency policy is facially unconstitutional.
In asking the Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit's decisions in Fox and ABC, the administration makes three primary arguments. First, it says, the Second Circuit's rulings conflict with decisions of the Supreme Court and the D.C. Circuit. The lower court, the administration claims, ignored the teaching of Supreme Court in the infamous Pacifica case (involving George Carlin's seven dirty words monologue), that analysis of context is a "virtue" of the Commission's indecency approach. Further, the government claims, the decisions conflict with the Action for Children's Television cases decided in the 1990s, where the D.C. Circuit twice rejected arguments that the Commission's indecency regulations were vague. In addition, the administration argues, consistent with the Supreme Court's recent decision in Humanitarian Law Project v. Holder, the Second Circuit should have addressed the facts before it in the Fox and ABC cases rather than eviscerating the policy so that a "broadcaster can evade liability for its indecent broadcasts even when the material at issue is 'plainly prohibited.'"
Second, the government contends that the FCC's indecency policy is not unconstitutionally vague. Here, the petition suggests that indecency cannot be defined with precision and that the Commission is not required to do so. Instead, the government says the FCC's regulations clarify standards proposed by Congress. The petition emphasizes that the Commission provided protection to broadcasters by not imposing sanctions where the rules were not clear at the time of the violation, and by creating a safe harbor for the broadcast of indecent content after 10 p.m.
Finally, the administration claims that the decisions undermine the FCC's enforcement policy, leading broadcasters to believe "that they have been freed of the public-interest obligation not to air indecent programming" that they accepted as a condition of obtaining a license. The government underscores the importance of context in evaluating arguably indecent material, as well as the difficulties associated with designing a more tailored approach to indecency enforcement, noting that a ban on specific words would almost certainly be unconstitutional, and would prevent the broadcast of valuable content like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List."
We anticipate that the Supreme Court will hear these cases, although it is difficult to predict how the high court ultimately would rule on the First Amendment issues involved. That said, when the Court addressed the Fox case in the first instance, several justices hinted at how they might approach the constitutional question. For example, while Justice Thomas agreed to uphold the "fleeting expletive" policy as valid under the Administrative Procedure Act, he devoted his concurring opinion to "the questionable viability" of Red Lion and Pacifica—the two precedents that establish the lower level of First Amendment scrutiny that applies to the FCC's authority to regulate broadcast indecency (and, more broadly, broadcast content in general). In her separate dissent, Justice Ginsburg also gave some indication that she doubts the constitutionality of the Commission's "fleeting expletive" policy. After observing the "long shadow the First Amendment casts over what the Commission has done," she expressed reservations regarding whether the agency's current policy fits within the Court's "tightly cabined" ruling in Pacifica. Justice Stevens, on the other hand, included a footnote in his dissent disagreeing with Justice Thomas's views on the viability of Pacifica. Justice Stevens has now been replaced by Justice Kagan, whose views on these issues are largely unknown.

London Marathon 2023
What happened to Eliud Kipchoge at the 2020 London Marathon?
The world's best marathoner explains why he had an uncharacteristically off day.
By Cathal Dennehy
Eliud Kipchoge said he experienced an issue with his right ear during the London Marathon, which led to his subpar performance.
In cold and rainy conditions, the world-record holder finished eighth in 2:06:49, more than a minute behind winner Shura Kitata of Ethiopia. He began to lose contact with the leaders with about 5K left to run.
After the race, a visibly upset Kipchoge explained what occurred.
'I started off well. But I just got a slight problem with my right ear. It got blocked, and I tried to do all necessary, I tried to hold back, but it was not possible. But this is sport. Today you are up, tomorrow you are down.
'I am truly disappointed. I always wanted to win to show people you can always win if you focus yourself and always get good results. I'm sorry about this, but that's how sport is.'
'His right ear got fully blocked. From then he also didn't go for the drinks anymore, and it somehow affected the whole system,' Valentijn Trouw, Kipchoge's manager, said via text message.
While some feared it might spell the early signs of a demise for Kipchoge, the 35-year-old said he would return to the top level.
'Sport is unpredictable, but you know what they say: If you want to enjoy sport then you accept the results. So I accept the result and congratulate all finishers.'
Asked if he would be back running the marathon, he said, 'I am going back and hopefully I will come next year here in London and the Olympic Games. It's not the end of the world.'

A review on the protective role of selected Ayurveda herbs against skin
Authors: Aniqa Aniqa, Sarvnarinder Kaur, Shilpa Sadwal

Journal of Drug Research in Ayurvedic Sciences 2023 8(1):3-18
Melanoma skin cancer (MSC) is considered the most aggressive among all skin cancers due to its tendency to fast growth, metastasis, and high relapse rate. Although MSC is treatable if identified early, several side effects and aesthetic issues associated with its treatment impose a psychological burden and compromise patients' quality of life. Thus, there is a dire need for primary prevention by adopting alternative remedies, which are accessible, safe, and cost-effective. The present review emphasizes the role of selected Ayurveda herbs, viz., Azadirachta indica A. Juss, Ocimum tenuiflorum L., Phyllanthus emblica L., Santalum album L., Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook. F. and Thoms., and Withania somnifera L. Dunal, which are long being utilized in the Indian traditional system to tackle diverse health problems in preventing MSCs. PubMed and Google Scholar were used to search various research articles on the anti-oncogenic and chemopreventive roles of Ayurveda herbs. This review emphasizes the beneficial effects of Ayurveda herbs so that the ordinary public includes these herbs in their routine to prevent MSC and other cancers. The available literature clearly states that these herbs are beneficial in preventing MSCs. However, the scarcity of clinical trials on these herbs warrants extensive research in this area to obtain an efficacious drug.

BACKGROUND: The documentation of ethno-medicinal claims is of significant value in drug research. The present study was conducted to document and validate the information related to the traditional uses of medicinal plants used by the local health practitioners of Hassan district. METHODS: In the present study, different local health traditions prevalent in Hassan district of Karnataka, documented during the medico-ethno-botanical survey program during October 2017 and March 2018, were presented systematically. The data were collected from traditional healers of the survey area through personal interviews using a prescribed format, and the collected information is validated by referring 22 books related to the classical literature, recent compilations from the classical literature, published literature listing home remedies, Sangraha grantha (compendium), and Nighantu (lexicons) related to medicinal plants. RESULTS: During the survey, a total of 16 folklore claims frequently used in treating 12 different disease conditions were documented. Among the 16 folk claims, two are used as veterinary medicines, and two are food preparations. Sarpa visha (snakebite), Vrana (wound), Raktarsha (bleeding piles), Bhagna (fracture), Jvara (fever), etc. are the most frequently treated disease conditions. About eight formulations are indicated internally seven are used externally, and one formulation is being used for both internal and external purposes. Leaves are the frequently used in different dosage forms such as paste, powder, juice, and poultice. CONCLUSIONS: Since the documentation of indigenous knowledge about medicinal plants is the need of the time, this article could serve as baseline data regarding the traditional claims in treating different disease conditions. The documented data can also serve as a base for developing new medicines by scientific studies.

Abstract: Mohan S Rawat, Amit Kumar Rai, Deepshikha Arya, Sanjiv Kumar, Bidhan Mahajon, Chinmay Rath, Ashish Kumar Tripathi, Anupam K Mangal, Narayanam Srikanth
BACKGROUND: Medico-ethnobotanical exploration is an important part of drug research, which provides information on the distribution, availability, and natural habitat of medicinal plants. The collection of specimens and photographs during the survey tours acts as the reference materials for the description and characterization of raw drugs and their botanical source to avoid adulteration and substitution. The present study aimed to explore the potential of the medicinal plants of the Almora forest division and their present status in the natural habitat. METHODS: Medico-ethnobotanical exploration was carried out in the Almora forest division of Kumaun Himalayan region in Uttarakhand, India, from July 2018 to February 2019. Almora, Someshwar, Mohan, and Jaurasi ranges of the Almora forest division were explored in different seasons during these surveys. During exploration, herbarium specimens and photographs of medicinal plants, preferably flowering or fruiting twigs, were collected with locality and GPS data. Plants were identified and also referred to the herbarium of the Regional Ayurveda Research Institute, Ranikhet, Uttarakhand, and the published literature. RESULTS: During these surveys, 204 medicinal plant species were documented with their local name and locality(s) with GPS location showing their distribution. Among the 204 identified medicinal plant species of this region, six species are found under the endangered and threatened category. CONCLUSIONS: There is an urgent need for the conservation of medicinal plants and their natural habitat for their perpetual existence. Further, medicinal plants having commercial potential should be cultivated by local inhabitants for their socioeconomic development.
Indigenous knowledge on medicinal plants used by local villagers
associated with Sadasivakona—A sacred grove of Chittoor district,
Authors: Pasupuleti Sivaramakrishna, Pulicherla Yugandhar, Yarramreddy Manjunatha Reddy
Abstract: Pasupuleti Sivaramakrishna, Pulicherla Yugandhar, Yarramreddy Manjunatha Reddy
BACKGROUND: The local villagers residing at Sadasivakona sacred grove are associated with medicinal plants and utilize many medicinal plants to cure ailments. Because of this, the present study was intended to document the traditional uses of medicinal plants used by local villagers residing at Sadasivakona—a sacred grove of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India. METHODS: The documentation of indigenous knowledge on medicinal plants used by local villagers of Sadasivakona sacred grove was carried out with a structured questionnaire. The documentation of indigenous knowledge was made by conducting several tours and personal interviews with their local dialect from 2019 to 2020. RESULTS: Sixty-seven potential medicinal plants belonging to 59 genera and 36 families were documented from Sadasivakona—a sacred grove of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India. For the preparation of medicine, leaves (49%) among the plant parts, paste (36%) among the form of medicine, internal administration (53%) among the intake of medicine, and cough (16%) among the ailment treatment were noticed as the highest percentages. Altogether, 41 types of ailments were successfully documented from the herbal practitioners of Sadasivakona sacred grove. CONCLUSIONS: There is no documentation on the indigenous knowledge of local villagers of Sadasivakona sacred grove so far. Hence the present study focuses on the documentation of perishing knowledge of this sacred grove. Among the documented plants, the therapeutic uses of 28 medicinal plants were matched with Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical database and 10 medicinal plants with Foundation for Revitalization of Local Health Traditions database. The documented information may be helpful to the pharmaceutical industries in the preparation of novel drugs.

Similarity and docking analysis of bioactive compounds from Adansonia
digitata L. against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor—An
in silico approach
Authors: Shikha Sharma, Vinay Janardan Shukla
Abstract: Shikha Sharma, Vinay Janardan Shukla
BACKGROUND: The development of novel anticancer medications has been the most pressing necessity in recent years because cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. For more than 50 years, natural remedies have been acknowledged as powerful in the fight against many illnesses, including cancer. So in the current study, different similarity-based approaches were used to discover whether the bioactive present in Adansonia digitata has anticancer potential through similarity analysis and in silico docking study. METHODS: The chemotype similarity searching was done using KNIME using Tanimoto and dice (substructure) similarity measures against the molecules present in the CHEMBEL database having activity on the HepG2 cell line. After that, docking was performed against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, which is responsible for hepatic cancer, using Pyrx AutoDock wizard with MGL tools 1.5.6 by using a genetic algorithm, and visualization was done using UCSF chimera. RESULTS: The study has shown that the bioactives present in Adansonia digitata have similarity with the anticancer molecules having activity against the HepG2 cell lines and the docking study revealed that the binding energy ranges from -0.72 to -10.32 (Kcal/mol). Smaller binding energies represent the stronger interaction of the molecules. CONCLUSION: Adansonia digitata has bioactives that may be an effective inhibitor against the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and may possess anticancer properties.

Authors: Jyoti Singh, Prasanta Kumar Nayak, Ashwini Kumar Kushwaha, Dev Nath Singh Gautam, Manmath Kumar Nandi
Abstract: Jyoti Singh, Prasanta Kumar Nayak, Ashwini Kumar Kushwaha, Dev Nath Singh Gautam, Manmath Kumar Nandi
BACKGROUND: In the present study, neuropharmacological effect of Sida acuta root extract was investigated by in vitro and in vivo experimental models. METHODS: In in vitro electrophysiological study, hippocampal slices of the albino rats' brain were treated with three different concentrations of the extract (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/mL). Field excitatory postsynaptic potential slope (mV/ms) was assessed. In in vivo study, plant extract was given at three different doses (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg b.w., p.o.). Piracetam (200 mg/kg i.p.) was used as a standard drug and scopolamine (1 mg/kg, i.p.) was used to induce dementia in rats. The effect of extract was assessed using elevated plus maze and Barnes maze model. RESULTS: The in vitro result showed reduction in the amplitude of field excitatory postsynaptic potential slope after wash in the extract at 0.25 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, and 1 mg/mL due to the partial blockage of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor. In vivo study reveals that scopolamine-treated rats exhibited delayed latency time in elevated plus maze and Barnes maze, as well as numbers of error were also increased in Barnes maze as compared to the control. Animals treated with piracetam and root extract (200 mg/kg) reduced the effect of scopolamine-induced dementia to a great extent. CONCLUSION: This finding reveals that Sida acuta root extract has cognitive enhancing activity.
Shelf life computation of Bhallataka Rasayana: A preliminary disquisition
Authors: Shivani Sharma, Pramod Yadav, Galib Ruknuddin, Pradeep kumar Prajapati
Abstract: Shivani Sharma, Pramod Yadav, Galib Ruknuddin, Pradeep kumar Prajapati
BACKGROUND: Bhallataka Rasayana (BR), an Ayurvedic formulation, contains Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium L.f.) as the main ingredient. This ingredient is well-known for its anti-oxidant, anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-reproductive, CNS stimulant, hypoglycemic, and anti-carcinogenic activities. Although it is an effective classical formulation, yet no published data is available on its stability. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to evaluate the shelf life of each formulation following parameters predominant in the concerned scenario. Here, an attempt has been made to determine the shelf life of BR through an accelerated stability study. METHODS: Following classical reference, BR was prepared in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory, All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi. The samples were subjected to an accelerated stability study maintaining temperature and humidity of 40°C ± 2°C, and 75% ± 5% respectively. Relevant analytical parameters were performed at an interval of 0, 1, 3, and 6 months to check the degradation levels in the formulation. RESULT: Insignificant changes were observed in the organoleptic parameters, while significant changes were observed in some of the physico-chemical constants at different stages of analysis. Also, microbial contamination and heavy metals examination tests were found within the permissible limits. On extrapolation of the observations, the shelf life of BR is found to be 4 years and 4 months. CONCLUSION: The shelf life of BR exceeds the classical standards for confectionary preparations. Increased shelf life may be due to minimal ingredients and strict following of standard manufacturing procedures with proper hygiene maintenance.

Abstract: K Madan Gopal, Shobhit Kumar, KS Uplabdh Gopal
Globally, traditional systems have experienced a resurgence in recent times. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 88% (170 of 194) of WHO member states report the use of traditional medicine (TM) among all WHO regions. Both in the governmental and private sectors, the Ayush system has grown significantly in recent years. However, there is substantial potential for further development and expansion in the Ayush sector. To promote growth and address difficulties that impede further growth, the Ayush sector needs innovations and research. This paper attempts to highlight the innovations that are necessary for the various potential fields of Ayush. It is essential to strengthen the Ayush systems further and increase opportunities and standards of various domains under Ayush to meet the current health needs. Essential areas for promoting innovations in Ayush include Education, Research, Clinical Practice, Health and Wellness, Public Health, Digital innovations and technologies, and pharmacovigilance. It is essential to create an ecosystem for innovation in these areas. There is a need for Ayush human resources capacity building, identifying young talents, and supporting them for innovations. Innovative ways that bring together Ayush systems and modern medicine can accomplish the promise of futuristic integrative health systems.

How well an individual performs on a standardized test in no way proves or disproves the presence of a social learning and/or social thinking challenge! Our tests just aren't that sensitive, nor are social abilities that clear cut.
Across the fields of psychology, education, and speech and language, IQ and other standardized tests are usually inadequate for assessing the depth and complexity of a social learning disability. This is because traditional standardized tests don't tackle the complexity of what happens in real time social interactions and social problem solving. Instead, they must be administered in a highly structured manner in order to accurately measure the discrete and specific skills they were designed to evaluate. On the other hand, social cognition requires the complex integration of multiple skills, simultaneously or in seconds. Social thinking requires the use of one's social cognitive skills in a synergistic and dynamic fashion in order to affect related social behavioral responses.
Standardized tests aren't designed to reveal the complexity of social thought required to think through and engage in the complex tasks of having conversations, actively sustaining group play, participating in classroom discussions, and working as part of a group in the classroom. Instead, they are tools (and important ones) for measuring discrete skills within a contained and regimented setting. Unfortunately, many of us use them as the only way to determine if a person needs/doesn't need support.
Standardized tests do not require students to rapidly respond to socially based test prompts, such as interpretation of language meaning or idioms, even though in reality if it takes a person longer than 2 to 3 seconds to respond in a communicative interaction then we note the occurrence of a communication breakdown. While there are some informal measures (i.e., observational checklists, surveys, etc.) that are helpful in describing an individual's social learning challenges, few provide professionals with a logical, systematic approach to collecting and analyzing information.
In response to this lack of available tools, Michelle Garcia Winner created a series of informal social cognitive/social pragmatic assessment tasks and structured them in a "dynamic assessment" framework. Dynamic assessment refers to the fact that the individual attempting the tasks will always end up with the correct answer because the point of the task is to determine the level of support/prompts needed for him or her to have success. These tasks appear to be more qualitative in capturing social processing and related responses. Also, the dynamic nature taps into social problem solving in real time and is helpful in figuring out the individual's ability to problem solve specific situations.
While most of us engage in social interaction/regulation intuitively, many students with social learning challenges who have good to excellent language and cognition (e.g., High Functioning Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, Asperger Syndrome and/or Attention Deficit Disorder) are weak in their ability to think about how we think socially.

Loosing weight and changing your dietary habits can be super frustrating. As a nutrition student, I firmly believe in small, manageable changes which can be introduced slowly for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One of my favourite ways to do this is healthy substitution. Thinking a little out the box and replacing one ingredient can start upping the nutrients, reduce the naughtiness but still provide ultimate pleasure.
Here's a few of my secret swaps to whip into your daily delicacies!
The mild, sweet undertones of carob powder are a perfect substitute for cocoa, without compromising on that chocolately joy. Full of fibre and no nasty additions. Mix with water for a healthy, vegan chocolate sauce or add to porridge for a guilt free twist.
Believe the hype. The courgetti revolution is happening. Not only does it add a wicked pop of colour to your dish, the low calorie, low carb alternative is perfect for boosting your immune system. Packed with vitamin C, the veg contains plenty of potassium to contribute to a diet for lowering blood pressure.
Less fat, more goodness. What more could you want from a bowl. The creamy but light fruity joy is the perfect swap for sugary ice cream. And why not try making your own – frozen fruits, low fat Greek yogurt, honey, blitz!
Now I can't lie. Despite being a nutritionist, I looooooove crisps. But I don't love the sins. A tasty crunchy swap is baked pitta squares. Simply cut up, season (cracked black pepper, chilli flakes and lime is always a winner) and bake til crisp. Low in fat but full on flavour. Opt for a wholewheat pitta for extra fibre!

Were chondrites magnetized by the early solar wind?
17/04/2018 14:19 · by karmaka · in carbonaceous chondrite, CV, paleomagnetism

Volume 492, 15 June 2018, Pages 222–231
• Some chondrites contain unidirectional, post-accretional remanent magnetization.
• We consider whether this magnetization originated from the young Sun's solar wind.
• The predicted mean induced field is >103 times below many chondrite paleointensities.
• A more feasible magnetizing field source is a dynamo generated inside the body.
• Some chondrites may be fragments of a partially differentiated parent body."
"Chondritic meteorites have been traditionally thought to be samples of undifferentiated bodies that never experienced large-scale melting. This view has been challenged by the existence of post-accretional, unidirectional natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in CV carbonaceous chondrites. The relatively young inferred NRM age [∼10 million years (My) after solar system formation] and long duration of NRM acquisition ( 1 – 10 6 y) have been interpreted as evidence that the magnetizing field was that of a core dynamo within the CV parent body. This would imply that CV chondrites represent the primitive crust of a partially differentiated body. However, an alternative hypothesis is that the NRM was imparted by the early solar wind. Here we demonstrate that the solar wind scenario is unlikely due to three main factors: 1) the magnitude of the early solar wind magnetic field is estimated to be <0.1 μT in the terrestrial planet-forming region, 2) the resistivity of chondritic bodies limits field amplification due to pile-up of the solar wind to less than a factor of 3.5 times that of the instantaneous solar wind field, and 3) the solar wind field likely changed over timescales orders of magnitude shorter than the timescale of NRM acquisition. Using analytical arguments, numerical simulations and astronomical observations of the present-day solar wind and magnetic fields of young stars, we show that the maximum mean field the ancient solar wind could have imparted on an undifferentiated CV parent body is <3.5 nT, which is 3–4 and 3 orders of magnitude weaker than the paleointensities recorded by the CV chondrites Allende and Kaba, respectively. Therefore, the solar wind is highly unlikely to be the source of the NRM in CV chondrites. Nevertheless, future high sensitivity paleomagnetic studies of rapidly-cooled meteorites with high magnetic recording fidelity could potentially trace the evolution of the solar wind field in time."
