funny!
But it's not fake. It's real, and it's the dying gasp of a very, very strange star system. The name of this thing is AFGL 3068. It's been known as a bright infrared source for some time, but images just showed it as a dot. This Hubble image using the Advanced Camera for Surveys reveals an intricate, delicate and exceedingly faint spiral pattern. It's so faint no one has ever detected it before!

Sheriffs in North Carolina want access to state computer records identifying anyone with prescriptions for powerful painkillers and other controlled substances. For years, sheriffs have been trying to convince legislators that the state's prescription records should be open to them. "We can better go after those who are abusing the system," said Lee County Sheriff Tracy L. Carter. Others say opening up patients' medicine cabinets to law enforcement is a terrible idea.

I think I got a better idea...lets just scrap the prescription system alltogether and let some freedom ring...so people don't have to play games to get their preferred buzz on...alleviates all problems but the ever present addiction problem, which no lawman in the world can solve...being a medical/personal problem and all.

NOW would be a good time to invest in some of them. (can you invest in law enforcement pension plans?, local bar associations? CCA? the list is a long one. invest liberally. do it today) Parent
From the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, The Thin Red Line and Days of Heaven, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's chronicling the journey of the eldest son, Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn), through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years - trying to reconcile the complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.
Over the past week there have been rumblings that Apparition was shopping the Terrence Malick film The Tree of Life to new distributors. There was no word on who might bite, but for the past few days it has seemed like something was about to happen.
And now Fox Searchlight has announced that it will distribute The Tree of Life, which will be released on a to-be-determined date in 2011. Parent
Alas, it was not to be. Parent
The world seems to have gotten tired of M Night Shyamalan's films and the filmmaker does not understand why. College Humor has created a faux movie trailer for a Charlie Kaufman-esque film starring M Night as himself, trying to figure out the big twist t the end of his career. What could it be?
