Señor Jehuda, aka "El Blogo de Liberto", is an attorney and media professional with a background in TV marketing and production, copywriting, independent filmmaking, and spontaneously speaking perfect Spanish. A proud Texan who recently escaped from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, he spends far too much time thinking about movies - especially since his job requires it. Jehuda is also a contributor at YesButHowever.com and PJ Lifestyle.

She just finished a meal – looked like a rodent – and is currently just hanging out, watching over her eggs. Very cool.

Professor Sidney Perkowitz of Emory University calls on screenwriters to stop abusing science.
I remember science fiction novelist John Scalzi had something to say about this topic recently.
I agree with his take. Bad science is annoying, but if the story works, it works. And that’s what matters.
Daily Telegraph: Researcher at the center of Climategate admits hiding data was “standard practice”.
The term climate science is a misnomer. It’s climate propaganda.

I will do like Al Gore and make a courageous prediction: the U.S. lamestream media shall keep treating Climategate as a non-story, despite this stunning admission from Phil Jones.

NYT:
The Ronald Reagan U.C.L.A. Medical Center…has earned a reputation as a place where doctors will go to virtually any length and expense to try to save a patient’s life.
Yet that ethos has made the medical center a prime target for critics in the Obama administration and elsewhere who talk about how much money the nation wastes on needless tests and futile procedures.

At the Bionic Body Shop. These are enhancements that are either in development or already in existence. But they’re quite pricey.

Berman Post: ‘Plasma Knife’ can stop bleeding.
Strangely, I was watching plasma cutters at work pretty much all week long, since they are at the center of the reality show I’m working on for NatGeo. Plasma cutters are used for cutting metal, though. And in that respect they can also be used to save lives, since some firefighters use them to extricate accident victims from cars, for example.

Gymnasts were second, with nine injuries.”
Cheerleading, the most dangerous sport?
