Joseph Glantz wrote:To me, with the exception of maybe Lincoln and with all due respect to Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt is far away the most interesting and compelling Republican president we've had. One of my favorites as well, along with Andrew Jackson.

Working in the IT side of health care my first thought was: If they work in a hospital they're subject to HIPPA, The Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act. There can be criminal sanctions for deliberate or negligent disclosure of PHI (Private Health Information.) Don't be surprised if the worst offenders find themselves expelled from medical school.

I have known about this since I was in high school over thirty years ago. They even used the site and impact as a plot device in "The X Files"
This entry in the main article was amusing.
End of the World?
Perhaps the earliest widely-held theory for the Tunguska explosion was that the world was about to end. As the minutes passed, this theory was dropped in favour of other, less final theories, until today one is hard-pressed to find anyone who truly believes the world ended on the morning of 30 June 1908...[17]

I watch very little television, NCIS, CSI (Original and sometimes NY), Castle. Sometimes I watch The Mentalist or Numb3rs. I have walked away from all of them at one time or another. I quit watching Criminal Minds because it had devolved into a weekly freak show. CBS does OK with the shows I watch. I refuse to tune into the so called "reality" shows and I have never forgiven CBS for some absolutely horrible Olympics coverage some years ago.
Someone asked me what the funniest TV show was and my answer was CSI Miami because of the cheesy dialogue, cliched cinematography and Carsuo's odd fixation on his sunglasses. (The sunglasses were zinged in an episode of Castle)

Bernie's fraud differs in that it was a twenty year long Ponzi scheme that didn't unravel until the market tanked and the investors needed cash.

I have problems with giving him credit for predicting the basic principles of the internet.
"Besides, for communicating in emergency, friends' houses are connected by means of magnetic telegraphs that allow people who live far from each other to talk to each other."
Sounds more like a telephone than the internet.

A sad commentary on how we treat our geniuses. Tossing an eleven year old into the meat grinder of Harvard was a terrible idea. Private tutors and a meaningful childhood would have prepared this boy for the social interaction at the university. I wouldn't dream of letting a child enter a university before he or she turned sixteen, no matter how brilliant they are.

A bit behind on current events in the HP universe
Quote:Harry Potter films
...
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is in pre-production, scheduled for release on 21 November 2008.[50] David Yates will direct again, and Kloves will return to screenwrite it.[51] ... HBP was delayed until Summer 2009 to open on a weekend when there were no big films scheduled to open.
I have mixed feelings about JK Rowling. She created this wonderful setting for story telling and she seems to be walking away from it.
I think in ten to twenty years they will remake all of the movies.

I've heard theories over the years. Hoffa is buried in a cemetery somewhere, a second body in an unmarked indigent grave with a thick wad of cash to the guys who work at the cemetery to go have a beer while the deed was done. Another involving a commercial grade meat grinder. The problem with concealing a body in a structure is that it weakens the structure and preserves the evidence. Someday the structure will fall down or be torn down and the evidence exposed.
