They did it.
The Jets’ comback wasn’t strong enough.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Green Back Packers at the Superbowl..
Only three minutes away until either the Steelers or Jets are Superbowl bound. 5 point game..
The BBC reported on a woman in New Jersey who suffers from a rare condition known as Alien Hand Syndrome, one in which a person’s hand continuously tries to attack the person who owns it..
In the case of Karen Byrne, her hand does what it wants to do on its own without regard to what she wants it to do.. An operation was even conducted to try to alleviate her problems of her hand hitting and slapping her and having a mind of its own. The BBC reported:
"Karen was unlucky. After the operation, the right side of her brain refused to be dominated by the left.
She has suffered from Alien Hand Syndrome for 18 years, but fortunately for Karen her doctors have now found a medication that seems to have brought the right side of her brain back under some form of control.
Even so I felt it was tactful, when I said goodbye, to give both hands a firm “thank you” shake.”

MSNBC’s Cosmic Log looks further into the intrigue surrounding the final countdown, but also reports on very real threats to humanity like superstorms, floods, and natural disasters that only seemingly are intensifying before our eyes. Whether they have anything to do with an ancient population being able to peer into the future and know we are about to end is unclear. What is clear, especially with a steady uptick in storm strength, is that lots of frantic people are going to start believing the Mayans did just that..
It’s still morning. And it’s Sunday.
The first paragraph of the excellent TIMES story is perfect:
It was always open late, way past the time the pizza place next door closed at midnight. The women who emerged from it — often poor blacks and Hispanics — appeared dazed and in pain, and sometimes left in ambulances. The doctor who ran the clinic, Kermit Gosnell, had been sued at least 15 times for malpractice. Two women died while under his care.
