Kat Von D Tattoos Lady Gaga!


It's not exactly far-fetched when you think about it, but did you know that Kat Von D once tattooed the Mother Monster? Well, now you do - and can watch it!

The L.A. Ink finale was last, but far more noteworthy than anything that took place on the show is this footage of Kat Von D and Lady Gaga back in 2008.

You know Gaga wasn't a global superstar just yet because she's still wearing pants (albeit metallic blue spandex ones) as she converses with the tattoo artiste:


Lady Gaga Visits Kat Von D

"You're from New York, right?" Von D asks. "Yeah, I was born and raised in Manhattan, and I just moved out here," Lady Gaga replies, almost quaintly.

"I'm a singer, but I'm also a songwriter for other artists, so I've just been workin' and doing shows." We'd say it's worked out fairly well for her since.

Apparently Kat, who is responsible for some of the better known celebrity tattoos out there, did some of the roses that adorn Gaga's body. Fun fact!

New evidence cites more BP oil spill mistakes (AP)

A BP scientist identified a previously unreported deposit of flammable gas that could have played a role in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but the oil giant failed to divulge the finding to government investigators for as long as a year, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Associated Press.

While engineering experts differ on the extent to which the two-foot-wide swath of gas-bearing sands helped cause the disaster, the finding raises the specter of further legal and financial troubles for BP. It also could raise the stakes in the multibillion-dollar court battle between the companies involved.

A key federal report into what caused the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history is set to be released as early as Wednesday.

"This is a critical factor, where the hydrocarbons are found," said Rice University engineering professor Satish Nagarajaiah. "I think further studies are needed to determine where this exactly was and what response was initiated by BP if they knew this fact."

At issue: BP petrophysicist Galina Skripnikova in a closed-door deposition two months ago told attorneys involved in the oil spill litigation that there appeared to be a zone of gas more than 300 feet above where BP told its contractors and regulators with the then-Minerals Management Service the shallowest zone was located.

The depth of the oil and gas is a critical parameter in drilling because it determines how much cement a company needs to pump to adequately seal a well. Federal regulations require the top of the cement to be 500 feet above the shallowest zone holding hydrocarbons, meaning BP's cement job was potentially well below where it should have been.

Cement contractor Halliburton recently filed a lawsuit against BP asserting that Skripnikova's statements prove the oil giant knew about the shallower gas before the explosion and should have sought a new cement and well design. BP has denied the allegations.

Skripnikova's job involved analyzing data from BP's Macondo well to determine the depth and characteristics of oil and gas deposits, which in turn is used in a process called temporary abandonment, when wells are sealed so they can be used for production later.

Based on the initial information, regulators approved BP's well sealing plan, which called for placing the top of the cement at roughly 17,300 feet below the surface of the water. The cement was pumped April 19, the day before the explosion. But Skripnikova said that after she flew back from the rig she and others re-examined the analysis, and on the day of the explosion she identified the shallower gas zone. That would have meant the cement should have been placed at just under 17,000 feet below the surface of the water.

She said she did not relay that information to drilling engineers on the Deepwater Horizon and warn them to hold off proceeding with the abandonment. She suggested in her deposition that she thought the information would be passed up the chain. BP was already $60 million over budget and stopping operations at that point and coming up with a new cement design would have meant millions of extra dollars in costs.

Later in the deposition, Skripnikova backtracked and said the new analysis was not discussed among her team until the day after the explosion.

"Do you believe that BP complied with MMS regulations with its selection of where the top of cement should go in the cement job that was done on April 19," an attorney asked Skripnikova.

"I don't know," she responded.

Before her deposition, none of Skripnikova's findings appear to have been passed on to federal regulators or the numerous government investigations since the disaster. Skripnikova was never questioned at public hearings before the presidentially-appointed oil spill commission. Nor was she questioned before the joint investigative panel of the U.S. Coast Guard and the agency that regulates offshore drilling, which is readying its final report. Her name and the information she has is not in BP's internal investigation report released last September.

BP spokesman Scott Dean insisted in a statement Tuesday to AP that when assessing top-of-cement requirements before the accident, BP did not identify the zone in question as bearing oil or gas. Dean said "BP has provided material concerning this zone to the parties in the multidistrict litigation and to government investigators."

BP provided a letter late Tuesday it said it sent the oil spill commission on Oct. 30, 2010, six months after the explosion. The letter said BP would be sending the commission draft reports the company prepared and more detailed studies to help inform its efforts to stop the flow of oil to the sea. The letter does not detail what the reports said, what data was provided, or whether the data was the same as what Skripnikova discussed in her deposition.

And, an investigator with the presidential oil spill commission, which released a report on the disaster months ago and disbanded in January, told AP that BP did not specifically reveal the higher probable gas zone during the course of the panel's investigation. The investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said an independent petrophysicist reviewed the data available to the panel and did not express concern about gas being at a shallower depth.

A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation and Enforcement, formerly known as MMS, declined to say to what extent the revelations would play in the investigation team's final report. The Justice Department, which has been conducting its own investigation, declined to comment.

Some experts believe the error played a role in the disaster, while others say the blast still could have occurred even if the cement was placed higher in the well. Investigators have previously faulted misreadings of other key data, the failure of the blowout preventer from stopping the flow of oil to the sea, and other shortcomings by executives, engineers and rig crew members. One thing the experts agree on is BP should have spoken up sooner.

"I don't think anybody had any idea what they were doing, because had they known, they would have stopped it," said Rice's Nagarajaiah.

University of California at Berkeley engineering professor Bob Bea, who spent decades studying and working on offshore oil rigs, said that the previously undisclosed gas zone was yet another "critical flaw" ? one of several made by BP and its contractors.

Bea said the shallower gas could have traveled through channels in the cement and helped to further weaken it before the blowout.

Such a situation would have been detected if BP had conducted what's called a cement bond log to test the strength of the cement, a test the company chose not to do. Bea also said the company did not wait long enough for the cement to set.

"It would have been remarkable ... for that cement to have been able to perform its required function," Bea said.

The Early Years of Radio Technology - NickToday & N1IC.com ...

The invention of radio is perhaps one of the most important innovations of the last century. Not only did the radio become a focal point of entertainment, it was a news source, an information source, and even a source of community involvement.

Although you may think of radio as being something that started in the 1900?s, you may be surprised to learn that, like so many things in the 20th Century, radio technology was a product of experimentation and discovery in the 1800?s.

A dentist in America named Mahlon Loomis exhibited a process called ?wireless telegraphy? by connecting two kites to each other without wires, making one move by the force of the other. This was the first time that wireless aerial communication was recorded in history.

Radio waves themselves were predicted to exist by James Clerk Maxwell, a physicist from Scotland, in the 1860?s. Later that decade, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz of Germany showed that fast changes in electrical current were able to be transmitted through the air in a way that mimicked heat and light.

By the end of the 19th century, Guglielmo Marconi (an inventor from Italy) demonstrated that radio communication was possible. The first radio signal was transmitted and received by Marconi in the year 1895 in Italy. In 1899, he was able to successfully send a wireless transmission straight over the English Channel. In 1902, the first transatlantic radiotelegraph message was sent and received in Newfoundland (sent from England).


1901 was the first year when wireless communication really started gaining momentum. It was set up and used for telegraphs being sent between five Hawaiian Islands that year, as well as used by the Navy for homing pigeons and visual signals.

It would be a couple more decades before radio would really begin to be used as a source of entertainment. The first radio news broadcast was sent in August 1920 from a station in Detroit, MI called ?8MK.? A station in Buenos Aires broadcast opera music in August 1920.

A few months later, in October 1920, Union College in New York started a college radio station, the first ever, in fact. A station called ?2ADD? that same month broadcast a few concerts on a Thursday night (that could be heard from up to 100 miles away). It is believed that this was the first entertainment broadcast in the US.

In Writtle, England at the Marconi Research Centre in 1922, regular radio broadcasts began airing. In the 1920?s, radio technology was also used to broadcast pictures (early television). FM radio was invented in the 1930s by amateur radio station operators, but FM stereo broadcasting would not become the norm until the 1960?s.

Color television went into regular broadcasting in the early 1960?s. TELSTAR (the first radio communication satellite) was set up in 1963. LORAN radio navigation system was the first of its kind, which started in the 1970s, followed by GPS technology launched in 1987.

Today, there are countless applications of radio technology, including wireless internet found in routers and wi-fi hotspots. According to predictions by researchers, internet radio is poised to replace both terrestrial (AM/FM) radio and satellite radio by 2020.

The advent of Wi-Max or other widespread broadband wireless internet (?internet everywhere?) could impact the proliferation of many new radio wave based and internet based technologies and entertainment sources. Many major US cities are already experimenting with blanketing their entire city with internet access carried by radio frequency.

'Break the Silence' on Ovarian Cancer

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Ovarian cancer is one of the trickiest cancers to catch early on.

In fact some call it "the silent killer" because three-quarters of patients are diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease.

There are a few warning signs to know about. So we visited Freeport Health Network to learn more about the fifth deadliest form of cancer for women.

Viewers told us their stories on Facebook.

Linda Gentile-Nakalamic: One of my bridesmaids passed away from ovarian cancer, 9 years ago. It wasn't a disease that many women talked about back then... and it still isn't today.

April Weidemann: My mother had cervical cancer about 10 years ago I was to young to understand then but I do now. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago and now has had a double mastectomy. I truly thought she would cry and lose control but unbelievably she wants to become an advocate. Says that she hopes one person can learn from her mistake of waiting too long to be checked out.

Peg Ripley: October, 2004 - mom went to the Dr because she wasn't feeling well. February, 2005 - FINALLY diagnosed - with uterine cancer. April, 2005 - OOPS...it's ovarian cancer. July, 2005 - died. It's a terrible way to end your life on earth.

Dewaine Nelson: In June 2001 my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For 2 years she battled with treatments. In 2003, the cancer had spread to her leg. The leg had to be removed but the cancer was licked. She survived. She is now 82.

Majority of Dr. Arshad Shaikh's ovarian cancer patients have been sick for a while without knowing it.

Diana Murray was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancers in 2008.

Murray said. "I just felt it is what it is. I can't change it: all I could do is fight it."

She sure did fight. A hysterectomy made her cancer go away. Sadly it returned three months later.

Dr. Shaikh said, "Even those with advanced disease, 80% of those will respond and even achieve a complete remission with treatment. Unfortunately within a five-year time frame, 70% do relapse."

Most ovarian cancer patients are in their 60s and have relatives with breast, uterine, or ovarian cancers and catching the disease is tough.

It?s a very insidious disease, it doesn't present with symptoms in many patients, so identifying the patients at risk as well as having good screening tools are very important, but to date there aren't any validated screening tools available.

Blood tests and ultrasounds are used to check patients that are high-risk, but an average patient usually doesn't find out until they don't feel well.

Typically the symptoms are below the abdomen: symptoms like weight gain, pain, constipation and bleeding of the urine or stools.

Diana says her symptoms were minimal. She now has less energy. She hopes her experience saves other lives.

"Please, please get checked. Don't miss a doctor's physical because it comes so fast."

Freeport memorial hospital treats most types of cancers. Some cancer-related surgeries are referred to the hospital at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Dr. Shaika says 30 percent of ovarian cancer patients are cured with a combination of chemo and surgery.

Geithner heads to Europe as debt fears mount (Reuters)

BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner makes a one-day trip to Poland this week for an unprecedented meeting with euro zone finance ministers as growing fears of a potential Greek debt default rip into Europe's banking sector.

The trip comes as a surprise since Geithner returned only on Saturday from a meeting of Group of Seven finance ministers in Marseilles, France, where he said Europe's strongest economies must offer "unequivocal" backing to the weakest.

Geithner is expected to attend the euro zone meeting on Friday and then return to Washington. The Treasury said on Monday only that he will discuss efforts to boost global recovery and cooperate on financial regulation, but U.S. attention is focused on risks posed by potential European debt contagion.

The danger that a Greek debt default could roil bigger central European economies was underlined on Monday as heavily exposed French banks' shares plunged and investor confidence in the euro zone's ability to surmount a sovereign debt crisis ebbed.

Geithner's trip marks the first time a U.S. Treasury secretary will attend a meeting of euro zone finance ministers. But it is not the first time he has tried to push Europe into acting more decisively in coping with its debt problems.

In March, he made a quick one-day trip to Germany just days ahead of a Europe Union summit to meet his counterpart, Wolfgang Schaeuble, and to urge European countries to step up their efforts to handle the crisis.

He held a one-on-one session with Schaeuble again in Marseilles on Friday, but neither side would talk about what was discussed in that session.

On Monday, shares in Societe Generale, BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole slumped more than 10 percent amid expectations of an imminent downgrade by credit ratings agency Moody's, due largely to their exposure to Greek bonds.

The surprise resignation of European Central Bank Chief Economist Juergen Stark on Friday and weekend comments by German politicians suggesting Athens may have to default and be "suspended" from the euro zone drove the euro to a 10-year low against the yen and a seven-month low against the dollar, though it later recovered some ground.

"Europe is not just lurching from one crisis to another. It is lurching into a new one before the previous one is solved," said Makoto Noji, senior strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities.

The storm on Monday forced SocGen, the hardest-hit French lender in recent weeks, to announce further drastic measures it denied only last week were under consideration, speeding up asset disposals and deepening cost cuts to free up 4 billion euros in fresh capital.

The bank's market value has shrunk from 110 billion euros in mid-2007 to just 12 billion on Monday. The bank's chief executive said there were no discussions regarding possible state intervention.

Finance Minister Francois Baroin said French banks were solid enough to withstand any crisis in Greece and Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer rushed out a statement saying French banks were not at risk.

"There is no crisis for the banks because those that are currently being hit on the markets have all the necessary means to offer solutions," Baroin told reporters, adding that G7 central banks were committed to providing "as much liquidity as banks need.

French banks and insurers are not only the biggest foreign holders of Greek government bonds, both directly and through Greek subsidiaries, but are also major creditors of Italy, which is increasingly in the markets' firing line.

Moody's is expected to downgrade Italy's Aa2 sovereign rating this week, Richard Kelly, head of European rates and FX research at TD Securities said, noting that both Fitch and Standard & Poor's already had lower ratings for Rome.

The Financial Times reported on its website on Monday that Italy has asked China to make "significant" purchases of Italian debt. The chairman of the China Investment Corp headed a delegation to Rome last week following a visit two weeks ago by Italian officials to Beijing to meet CIC and State Administration of Foreign Exchange officials, the report said.

OMINOUS START

It was an ominous start to a high-stakes week for the euro zone.

The ECB disclosed that it bought another 14 billion euros in euro zone government bonds last week, the biggest amount in three weeks, under a controversial policy to hold down troubled peripheral countries' borrowing costs.

The central bank holds a total of 143 billion euros in Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Irish bonds under its securities market program, which drove Stark -- a traditional German central banking hawk -- to resign.

Greece resumed suspended talks with international lenders on a vital 8 billion euro aid installment after announcing a new real estate tax on Sunday to try to plug yet another gap in its 2011 budget deficit. Athens has only a few weeks' cash left.

EU finance ministers are scrambling to settle disputes over a planned second Greek bailout, including a spat over Finnish demands for collateral, in time for Friday's meeting in Poland.

The rescue package has been put in doubt by Greece's repeated missing of fiscal targets agreed with the EU and the International Monetary Fund, plus uncertainty over the scale of private sector participation in a bond swap and debt rollover.

Germany tried to douse the market impact of a string of weekend comments and media leaks suggesting Berlin is now assuming that Greece will default and working to seclude Athens from the rest of the euro zone.

Vice-Chancellor Philipp Roesler, who is economics minister and leader of Berlin's increasingly euroskeptic junior coalition party, the Free Democrats, said there could no longer be any taboos to stabilize the euro.

"That includes, if necessary, an orderly bankruptcy of Greece, if the required instruments are available," he wrote in an article in Die Welt newspaper.

However, an economics ministry spokesman said on Monday no such instruments were currently available, and a government spokesman insisted there was strong agreement between Roesler and Chancellor Angela Merkel on the euro zone debt crisis.

"We want to stabilize the whole euro zone with all member states," government spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news briefing.

Asked about talk of a suspension, expulsion or voluntary departure of Greece from the euro zone, he said: "The legal position anyway stands in the way of such steps."

Seibert added that if Athens did not meet its fiscal commitments to the EU, ECB and IMF, that would automatically lead to nonpayment of the next tranche of aid.

Greece's deputy finance minister said the government had cash to operate until next month, highlighting the urgent need for the next emergency loan.

Greek power workers threatened to sabotage the new property tax announced by the government on Sunday as a last-ditch effort to please foreign creditors. Authorities plan to collect the tax through electricity bills to ensure swift payment.

HBT: MLB denies Mets right to weat 9/11 caps

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Exhibit A, Major League Baseball.

The Mets ? the team which in many ways served as the focal point of baseball?s return after 9/11 ? had petitioned to allow players to wear NYPD and NYFD tribute caps in honor of the 10th anniversary. Just as they did after 9/11 itself. ?MLB denied it, however, issuing a league-wide memo on uniforms, saying teams must wear their everyday caps with a small flag on the side instead. A no-go for the Mets. A ruling to which they adhered for tonight?s game. A stupid, stupid ruling to which they adhered.

Yes, Major League Baseball routinely denies the requests of teams to alter their caps in any way and yes, it?s understandable. There was a trend several years ago of players writing messages to injured teammates and friends and stuff, and baseball felt the need to crack down lest caps turn into the next generation of Jim McMahon headbands. I get it.

But this is just idiotic. ?No one?s?sensibilities?would have been offended by this. Given that the tribute was to be tied to this, the anniversary of a date set in time, it would not open the door to other unofficial hats or ?tributes? to more questionable causes. Baseball?s decision here makes no sense to me. It?s mindless adherence to a rule and, ultimately, it?s heartless in effect.

Bad move, Bud. Bad move.

Online books project founder dead in Ill. at 64 (AP)

URBANA, Ill. ? Long before the Kindle, Nook or iPhone, there was Michael S. Hart and his Project Gutenburg, a network of volunteers dedicated to providing free online access to as many books as they could.

Hart, who is also considered the founder of the e-book, died Tuesday at his Illinois home, said Stephanie Gabel of Renner-Wikoff Chapel and Crematory in Urbana. He was 64. Gabel did not know the cause of death.

Hart was a University of Illinois student when he founded Project Gutenberg 40 years ago.

Hart often said he got started in 1971 by typing the text of Declaration of Independence into a computer network that he and about 100 others had access to. In an interview last year, he said the project and a variety of partners it works with have made more than 100,000 books available for free online.

His obituary posted on Project Gutenberg's website said Hart worked as an adjunct professor ? someone who works without tenure and has to effectively be rehired ever year. But in interviews over the years, he and friends made clear the project was his life's work and joy.

"I get little notes in the email, saying `Hey! I just (found) Project Gutenberg, and this is great stuff," Hart told WILL radio in Urbana in a 2003 interview. "You get people that (it) just tickles their fancy, and they just read and read and read, and they're so happy about it."

Hart was born in Tacoma, Wash., in 1947, and grew up in Urbana. He served in the U.S. Army before graduating from the university with a liberal arts degree.

Books added to Project Gutenberg initially had to be typed by Hart and others into computers for distribution. The project has sometimes been criticized for errors and typographical mistakes.

Hart said he just wanted to distribute as many books as possible.

"This mission is, as much as possible, to encourage all those who are interested in making eBooks and helping to give them away," Hart wrote on the project's website, then later noted: "Project Gutenberg is not in the business of establishing standards."

UN chief regrets lack of terrorism convention (AP)

CANBERRA, Australia ? United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon says it is regrettable that member states have failed to agree on a comprehensive convention on international terrorism. He spoke as he prepares to fly to New York to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ban told reporters in the Australian capital Canberra on Friday that he is proud of his part in the U.N. response, including a resolution on Sept. 12, 2001, strongly condemning the attacks.

The U.N. secretary-general was in New York when the World Trade Center twin towers collapsed. He will attend a concert on Saturday in memory of the victims of the attacks in that city and Washington.

Warrior: movie review

'Warrior' pits two brothers against each other in the ring as a family struggles for reconciliation.

"Warrior," which is being promoted as another "Rocky," begins promisingly ? that is to say, it doesn't seem like another "Rocky."

Recent movie reviews

Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy), a mumbly, muscle-bound prodigal son, makes a surprise visit home to the father, Paddy (Nick Nolte), he hasn't seen in 14 years. A recovering alcoholic whose brutality drove away his entire family, Paddy wants to make it up to his son. Tommy still seethes with resentment but he wants to train for Sparta, a mixed martial arts event with a $5 million purse. He remembers that back in the day there was no better fighting coach than Paddy.

It turns out there's another son, Brendan (Joel Edgerton), Tommy's older brother, who has been estranged from both Tommy and Paddy. There's a lot of estrangement in "Warrior." If there wasn't, there wouldn't be all that reconciliation later on.

Brendan is a high school physics teacher and former fighter who can't make enough to hold onto his house, so he, too, decides to enter Sparta. You can see where this is going.

I was hoping for a while that "Warrior" would be the kind of movie that undercuts its own conventions. The opening sequences between Tommy and Paddy have a gritty, surly realism, and, mumbly as they are, they're well written by director Gavin O'Connor and his coscreenwriters Anthony Tambakis and Cliff Dorfman. But no ? this turns into the kind of movie that confirms our expectations instead of confounding them.

This predictability has its pleasures ? up to a point. "Warrior" passes that point around the halfway mark, when Tommy's checkered past as an Iraq war veteran comes to the fore and Tommy and Brendan cross swords and Paddy, who has stayed sober for a thousand days, suddenly ... do I need to say?

O'Connor films the fight scenes, and the fight training scenes leading up to them, with the requisite oomph. He also works well with the actors, although Hardy's Brandoesque mannerisms might have been toned down. It wasn't a masterstroke to have Paddy periodically listen to "Moby-Dick" on his earphones ? are we supposed to think that he's Ahab or the white whale? ? but Nolte, against all odds, turns this walking stereotype into a living, breathing man. He effectively underplays Paddy's brawly side, his need for remorse, his shame.

The filmmakers have no such qualms. "Warrior" becomes increasingly shameless until, by the end, with the big fights fought, we are clearly meant to rise as one and applaud the indomitability of the human spirit. But the only indomitable thing about "Warrior" are its clich?s. Grade: B- (Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense mixed martial arts fighting, some language, and thematic material.)
