#2  How can a 26 year old have a 'filmography'?
Posted by: Steve White || 12/21/2013 10:31 Comments || Top||

#3  Only if the actress has a string of credits in films no one has ever, ever heard of or they started as a child actress.

In other news, the Daily Caller reports the 17th year without global warming of which 2013 was the coldest. Sort parallels about the time that Al Gore left public life.

#4  Dr. Steve: it looks like most of her work is in TV in the Philippines over the last eight years, and probably working much more like an early Hollywood actress than a later one.

You know, the guys who did three adaptations of _The Maltese Falcon_ in ten years.

Did you know that between Jan 1930 and Dec 1940, over the course of 11 years, Bogie did 40 movies? That's 3.5 movies per year.

At that rate, 8 years would equal 28 movies. She has 27 credits in television over the last 8 years.

Missing POW's remains returned to his widow 63 years after his death
Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Gantt told his wife to remarry if he didn't come back from the war. She told him no. He had a hard enough time getting her to say yes. He was it.

For 63 years, the World War II and Korean War veteran was missing in action and presumed dead, but Clara Gantt, 94, held out hope and never remarried.

On a cold, dark Friday morning on the Los Angeles International Airport tarmac, the widow stood from her wheelchair and cried as her husband's flag-draped casket arrived home.

"I am very, very proud of him. He was a wonderful husband, an understanding man," she told TV reporters at the airport. "I always did love my husband, we was two of one kind, we loved each other. And that made our marriage complete."

Joseph Gantt joined the Army in 1942 and served in the South Pacific during WWII. He met his wife on a train from Texas to Los Angeles in 1946 and they married two years later. They had no children.

In the Korean War, he was assigned as a field medic, Battery C, 503rd Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, when he was taken prisoner by North Korean forces in December 1950. He died in March 1951, it was learned later, but his remains were only recently returned to the U.S. and identified, said Bob Kurkjian, executive director of USO Greater Los Angeles Area.

Clara Gantt, of Inglewood, bought a home and got a gardener so that when her husband returned, he wouldn't have to work in the yard -- he could just go fishing and do whatever he wanted, she said.

"I bought a home for him. And I am in that home now," she said.

In her bedroom, the widow keeps a shrine with her husband's awards, including the Bronze Star with Valor, awarded posthumously for his combat leadership actions while defending his unit's position, and a Purple Heart, Kurkjian said.

Joseph Gantt will be buried later this month. The pylons at LAX glowed red, white and blue in honor of the veteran's return, and an Airport Police and Army honor guard met the plane as it touched down from Honolulu, where the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and forensics labs are located.
Rest in peace, Sgt. Gantt, and thank you for your service.

Two Egyptian army soldiers die in Sinai violence
[Al Ahram] Two Egyptian army soldiers were killed Friday and eight were maimed during intense festivities with Islamic bully boyz in the town of Sheikh Zuweid, in North Sinai, reported Al-Ahram's Arabic website. Al-Ahram reported that civilians had also been injured in the fighting, including a 20-year-old woman.

Islamist gunnies have stepped up violence against security forces in the restive peninsula which borders Israel and the Gazoo Strip since the July ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi

Security forces clash with pro-Morsi protesters in Cairo, Suez
[Al Ahram] Several protests organised by supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
took place in Cairo following Friday afternoon prayers. Demonstrations took place in Nasr City, Haram, Mohandiseen, Zeitoun, and Helwan, some of which turned into festivities.

Cairo's Nasr City witnessed violent festivities after security forces fired teargas at protesters to stop them from reaching Makram Ebeid Street, a main thoroughfare, according to Al-Ahram's Arabic website. Injuries have been reported.

Giza's Mohandiseen district also witnessed violent festivities in the vicinity of Ahmed Orabi Street after security forces fired teargas at a pro-Morsi protest in the area. A police car was reportedly set on fire.

Security forces also fired teargas at a protest by supporters of Morsi as they marched through the district of Haram in Giza.

Demonstrators were on their way from Khatem Al-Morsaleen Mosque to Giza's Haram Street when the gas was fired. They were dispersed and took refuge in side streets, reported MENA state news agency.

As festivities continued in the district of Haram, traffic in nearby streets witnessed total paralysis.

The protesters threw stones against security troops and set fire to vehicles' tyres. In response, the troops fired teargas in a bid to control the situation and arrest the rioters.

Later in the day, the Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of 85 members of the Moslem Brüderbund in eight governorates.

Security forces have been deployed early Friday in several of Cairo's main squares including Tahrir, Ramsis and Nasr City's Rabaa Al-Adawiya, ahead of expected protests. Giza Square in Giza has been sealed off by security.


In Suez, festivities also took place, and a cop shoppe that was closed for maintenance was set ablaze before firefighters put out the flames.

The ambulance authority in Suez said that three protesters were hospitalised, including one who was shot in head. At least six were tossed in the slammer
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
from the pro-Morsi camp, including a woman.

Morsi supporters, led by an "anti-coup" Islamist coalition, had called for protests on Friday against the trial of Morsi on charges of espionage.

Arabia
'Sectarian' clashes kill nine in northern Yemen
[Al Ahram] Nine people have been killed in sectarian fighting that was ongoing Friday in northern Yemen between Shiite Houthis and Sunni Islamists backed by local tribes, a tribal source said.

Houthis have been battling the Sanaa regime for nearly a decade in the remote Saada province, but the outbreak of fighting with Sunni Death Eaters has deepened the sectarian dimension of the unrest.

"Seven Huthis and two rustics were killed on Thursday in the festivities, which were continuing intermittently," particularly in the Kitaf area in the north of Saada and in neighbouring Amran province, the source told AFP.

Bangladesh
22 BNP-Jamaat men held in Lalmonirhat
[Bangla Daily Star] Joint forces picked up 22 activists of the BNP-led opposition alliance last night for their alleged involvement with recent sabotage and criminal acts in Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat.

Of the arrestees, seven belong to Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
while 10 to its student wing, Islami Chhatra Shibir
... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh...
, and the rest five to the main opposition BNP, police told our Lalmonirhat correspondent.

The law enforcers rounded up the activists during drives in different areas of the upazila between 12:30am and 4:30am, said Sohrab Hossain, officer-in-charge of Patgram Police Station.

The activists were placed in durance vile
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
for their involvement with sabotage during recent hartal
... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ...
and blockade and attacking Awami League meetings in Burimari and Bawra areas in the upazila, said the police official.

Habibur Rahman, superintendent of police in Lalmonirhat, said the drive of joint forces is under way in the district to nab the criminals who were involved with the sabotage and criminal offences.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican Government Helicopters Lit Up 10 Cartel Vehicles in Shootout
badanov is on temporary hiatus writing about the Mexican Drug War as he prepares his last volume on the Mexican Drug War, The Wounded Eagle, and his third novel set for release next summer.
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Two government helicopter gunships opened fire on 10 vehicles fleeing a luxury beach condo complex during this week's gun battle at the Gulf of California resort of Puerto Penasco, Mexican authorities said.

New details emerged about the raging gun battle that ensued after federal forces tried to capture a reputed top lieutenant of the Sinaloa drug cartel who was staying at a beachfront villa.

Mexico's federal police said late Thursday that two government Blackhawk helicopters fired on at least 10 vehicles as they tried to flee the complex with drug cartel operator Gonzalo Inzunza. The vehicles were hit by gunfire in the Wednesday battle and were "left useless, causing the assailants to disperse." Five presumed cartel gunmen were killed in the battle.

Police found 14 sniper or assault rifles at the scene, which one federal official confirmed were of heavy caliber. Two federal officers were wounded in the gunfight.
Wonder if these were Fast and Furious weapons?
The bullet-ridden, burned-out vehicles were left just outside the complex, which federal police did not identify. But Puerto Penasco city spokesman Cristobal Garcia confirmed Friday that the shootout actually began inside the Bella Sirena complex, where Inzunza was staying at a beachfront villa. The resort has units for both sale and rent, but it was unclear if the reputed capo owned or was renting the unit in which he was staying.
Garcia insisted that "these are not people who live in Puerto Penasco ... perhaps they were here on a holiday."
Why Beatrice they seemed like such nice people. I thought they were in insurance back in Omaha.
But federal police said Inzunza, 42, "has set up his center of operations in Puerto Penasco," to run drug-trafficking networks that stretched through at least seven other states, from the Caribbean coast state of Quintana Roo in Mexico's southeast to Baja California in the country's northwest.

They said Inzunza "had a personal relationship with Ismael ("El Mayo") Zambada," long viewed as the No. 2 leader of the Sinaloa cartel, after Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Inzunza's body was not found at the scene, and federal officials said they believed the fleeing gunmen took his dead or wounded body with them, as cartel gunmen sometimes do with fallen gang members or leaders.
Weekend at Bernies?
Federal police said late Thursday that an analysis of blood stains found in the vehicles show that Inzunza was among those killed or wounded.

Drug cartel shootouts at Mexico's beach resorts generally have been rare, though some have been reported in the past in the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco. Prosecutors in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz said Friday they had found seven bodies dumped on a beach just south of the seaside city of Veracruz. They did not provide identities or a cause of death.
Afghanistan might be safer.

N. Waziristan clashes: Troops pound militant hideouts, 40 killed
[DAWN] Pak troops pounded suspected krazed killer hideouts in a lawless tribal district for a third day Friday, as the corpse count rose to 40 and local residents claimed the operation had left a number of civilians dead.

Clashes between security forces and Death Eaters have been rocking North Wazoo tribal agency, on the Afghan border, since Wednesday evening when a suicide kaboom killed five soldiers at a checkpoint in the town of Mir Ali.

Southeast Asia
Taiwanese woman kidnapped in Malaysia freed in southern Philippines
A Taiwanese tourist kidnapped at a fancy island resort off the Malaysian state of Sabah was freed by her captors in the southern Philippine province of Sulu.

Chang An Wei was released in Talipao town and eventually recovered by civilians who informed local authorities about the woman, who was later brought to a military hospital in Jolo. It is not known how much ransom was paid to the kidnappers, thought to be members of the Abu Sayyaf.

The woman was kidnapped on November 15 by gunmen who also gunned down the victim’s husband in a daring cross-border raid on Sabah’s Pom Pom Island and fled towards Pulau Mataking near the Filipino province of Tawi-Tawi.
