EAGLES RB Leroy Harris PHI ran the ball 9 times for 137 yards with an 80 yard run. * Leroy Harris born July 3, 1954 in Savannah, GA. The amazing thing about the 80 yard run was he almost set a new NFL record as the NFL record at that time was a 97 yard run & Harris got a hand off at the 2 yard line and was pulled down at the 18 yard line as he ran out of steam. Probably one of the greatest runs in Eagles History & longest without a TD. This game/run was witnessed by Baltimore Bob (age 29) & his brother Rick (age 16). Event occurred on Donovan’s McNabb’s 3rd birthday as his birthday is today (see below). http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197911250gnb.htm
2010: 11/25/2010: Almost 75 year marriage but he died. November 25th 2010 would have been Art Linkletter’s 75th Wedding Anniversary Spouse: Lois Foerster (25 November 1935 – “Art’s death on May 26th 2010”) 5 children
My #1 Celebrity Birthday Person for November 24th is Ted Bundy (Would have been 66) 1946 - Died age 42 Date of Birth 24 November 1946 - Burlington, Vermont. Date of Death 24 January 1989 - Starke, Florida. (execution by electric chair) Baltimore Bob turned his death age about May 7th 1992 (1987/1992 last year in CA). Birth name: Theodore Robert Bundy / Height: 6' (1.83 m) / IQ of 124 Theodore Robert Bundy, or more commonly known as 'Ted' was one of the most prolific serial killers in America. The term 'Serial Killer' was invented and first used for Ted Bundy as a description of his character. He confessed to 36 murders, but nobody really knows how many had been committed or when he began his legacy of horror; he had gone to his grave without confessing the true total. Ted was born to Eleanor Louise Cowell and a father that had taken off when Eleanor found out she was pregnant. Faced with limited options in 1946, she gave birth to him in an 'unwed mother' facility and began a hopeless charade: as he grew up, she told him that her parents were his parents and that she was his sister. It wasn't until 1974 when he realized that his mother had lied to him for so many years. He grew to be a handsome, educated and intelligent man who was not suspected of some of the heinous acts he committed. Bundy even volunteered for a crisis telephone hotline (where he met famed author Ann Rule who was also a volunteer) and had a steady relationship with a girlfriend, a girlfriend that would fuel his maniacal rage after she left him. He was studying psychology in Seattle on January 31, 1974 when an attractive psychology student at the University of Washington disappeared out of her bedroom. Many more identical disappearances followed, many attractive young women would suddenly fall off the face of the earth with no explanation. His victims were generally young attractive girls with dark hair parted in the middle. His M.O. was to approach his potential victim wearing an arm-sling or a cast. He would introduce himself as 'Ted' and ask the girl to help him carry his books Or packages he was having trouble managing because of his 'broken arm'. Most would oblige seeing his handicap. When they were alone he would knock them on the head with a crowbar, stuff their bodies into his car, strangle them while they were unconscious and then commit necrophilic rape. He would then leave the naked body in a wooded area, mostly Taylor Mountain in Washington State, where many of his victims were found. Spouse: Carole Anne Boone (9 February 1980 - 24 January 1989) (his death) 1 child Daughter with Boone, born October 1982 Had a daughter with Carole Boone during his years on death row. This was highly unusual, as death row inmates are not permitted conjugal visits. Married Carole Boone during his second trial, in which he was condemned to death row. Acting as his own attorney, he called her as a witness. He phrased a question such that an affirmative answer in front of a judge and recorded by the court would legally bind marriage. Although Bundy was only proven to be responsible for the deaths of 28 women, is it widely believed that he killed at least 33. According to Bundy himself in a taped confession, he killed more than 100. When told that he was believed to have killed 36 women in six different states, Bundy suggested that that they add a digit. Had been groomed by the Republican Party for local political office. In his final days, he said Pornography was to blame for his desire to murder women. Baltimore Bob says “Yea right if this isn't the biggest 'Asswipe' you could ever meet.” “Maybe the real problem was his Mom giving him the name Theodore/The Beaver”.
1960: Thursday November 24, 1960: Wilt Chamberlain sets NBA rebounds record – Record 100 Points same year on 3/2/1960. On November 24, 1960, Philadelphia Warrior Wilt Chamberlain snags 55 rebounds in a game against the Boston Celtics and sets an NBA record for the most rebounds in a single game. 2010: 11/24/2010: 50th Anniversary of the 55 Rebound Game.
1967: 11/24/1967: "Hello, Goodbye" was released as a single on 24 November 1967. In the US, the song was also included on the Magical Mystery Tour album released three days later, but the song was not made available in the UK on an album (or in stereo) until the release of the 1973 compilation album 1967–1970. With the release of the song, McCartney gave an explanation of its meaning in an interview with Disc: "The answer to everything is simple. It's a song about everything and nothing. If you have black you have to have white. That's the amazing thing about life." John Lennon was not fond of the song and called it "three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions." "Hello, Goodbye" had also relegated his own composition "I am the Walrus" to the B-side of the single. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Goodbye

Yesterday, Mohamed Morsi declared himself more powers unilaterally. According to BBC and Al Jazeera's coverage, Morsi declared by executive order new sweeping powers, that he could not be overruled by the courts, and fired a number of judicial branch officials. By Executive order, he now has Legislative, Judicial, and Executive power. And the Egyptian people aren't happy. Police have once again been pushed out of Tahrir square, as have the pro-Morsi counter-protesters. Peaceful protests are in almost every town in Egypt, reaching as far away as the Sharm el Sheikh, a resort town on the southern tip of Sinai. Violent protests with the sacking and burning of Muslim Brotherhood offices, and offices of Morsi's political party, the FJP, have broken out in almost every major city across Egypt. Too many people died in Egypt for them to simply surrender their democracy. They didn't fight a revolution simply to change the color of the flag, and the philosophy of the oppressor. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't put money on Morsi holding on to his office for long. Expect major news coverage shortly. Al Jazeera's coverage is here.

My #1 Celebrity Birthday Person for November 23rd is Boris Karloff (Would have been 125) 1887 - Died age 81 Date of Birth 23 November 1887 - Camberwell, London, England, UK. Date of Death 2 February 1969 - Midhurst, Sussex, England, UK. (emphysema) Boris died on Ground Hog Day 1969 and Baltimore Bob was 18 years old. Birth name: William Henry Pratt / Height: 5' 11" (1.80 m) Nicknames: Billy & The Uncanny Spouses: 5. Evelyn Hope Helmore (11 April 1946 - 2 February 1969) (his death) 4. Dorothy Stine (1928 - 1946) (divorced) 1 daughter Sarah 3. Helene Vivian Soule (3 February 1924 - 1928) (divorced) 2. Montana Laurena Williams (1920 - ?) (divorced) 1. Olive Wilton (1909 - ?) Father of Sara Karloff who is also born this date. Another Father/Daughter that share a Birthday are George & Marie Osmond. Appeared in 80 films before his breakthrough role in Frankenstein. He was the original inspiration for the first illustrations of the Incredible Hulk. Considered a late bloomer in Hollywood. Frankenstein premiered when he was 44 years old. In contrast to the image he presented in most of his films, the private Karloff was, by every account, a quiet, bookish man off- screen. A true gentleman, he had many friends, both in and out of show business, and he was particularly fond of children. For the latter, among other things, he recorded many successful albums of children's stories. When told that Bobby 'Boris' Pickett, who recorded the hit song 'Monster Mash', was a big fan of his, by a mutual friend, Karloff replied, "tell him I enjoy his record very much." Pickett still considers that the greatest compliment he's ever gotten, and Karloff eventually sang the song himself on a television special. Suffered from chronic back trouble for most of his adult life, the result of the heavy brace he had to wear as part of his Frankenstein costume. He never let it slow him up, though, and kept active to the end of his life. He had East Indian heritage on this mother's side. This gave Karloff a dark skin tone. In silent films he was cast in roles such as Arabs and American Indians. In the 1950s he was cast as Kurtz in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' on Playhouse 90. His first Broadway play was 'Arsenic and Old Lace' in a role that was written for him. He played Jonathan Brewster, whose face has been changed by a disreputable plastic surgeon named Dr. Einstein so that he now looks like Boris Karloff. He also performed the role in the road company of this production. In 1956 he was a celebrity contestent on ‘The $64,000 Question.’ The category he chose was children's fairy tales. He won the $32,000 level and quit due to tax considerations. 1st movie role at age 32 in ‘The Lightning Raider’ (1919). 1st time as the Monster at age 44 in ‘Frankenstein’ (1931) as The Monster. Last time as the Monster after his death in ‘Frankenstein - 1970’ (1958) as Baron Victor von Frankenstein. Last movie role also after his death in ‘The Fear Chamber’ (1972) as Dr. Carl Mandel. Refused to reprise his role as the Frankenstein Monster in ‘Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein’, because he felt spoofs wouldn't sell to the audience. During the production of "Frankenstein" (1931) there was some concern that seven year old Marilyn Harris, who played Maria, the little girl thrown into the lake by the creature, would be overly frightened by the sight of Karloff in costume and make-up to play the scene. When the cast was assembled to travel to the location, Marilyn ran from her car directly up to Karloff, who was in full make-up and costume, took his hand and asked "May I drive with you?" Delighted, and in typical Karloff fashion, he responded "Would you, darling?" She rode to the location in the star's limo with ‘The Monster.’ Beginning in 1940, Karloff dressed up as Santa Claus every Christmas to hand out presents to physically disabled children in a Baltimore hospital. He celebrated his 52nd birthday during the production of ‘Son of Frankenstein’ (1939) and remarked that he received the best birthday present ever: the birth of his daughter Sara Jane. He reportedly rushed from the set to the hospital in full makeup and costume. Interred at Mount cemetery, Guildford, Surrey, England, in the Garden of Remembrance.

Electronic tracking: new constraint for Saudi women - FRANCE 24
AFP - Denied the right to travel without consent from their male guardians and banned from driving, women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by an electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements.
Since last week, Saudi women's male guardians began receiving text messages on their phones informing them when women under their custody leave the country, even if they are travelling together.
Manal al-Sherif, who became the symbol of a campaign launched last year urging Saudi women to defy a driving ban, began spreading the information on Twitter, after she was alerted by a couple.
The husband, who was travelling with his wife, received a text message from the immigration authorities informing him that his wife had left the international airport in Riyadh.
"The authorities are using technology to monitor women," said columnist Badriya al-Bishr, who criticised the "state of slavery under which women are held" in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
Women are not allowed to leave the kingdom without permission from their male guardian, who must give his consent by signing what is known as the "yellow sheet" at the airport or border.
The move by the Saudi authorities was swiftly condemned on social network Twitter -- a rare bubble of freedom for millions in the kingdom -- with critics mocking the decision.
"Hello Taliban, herewith some tips from the Saudi e-government!" read one post.
"Why don't you cuff your women with tracking ankle bracelets too?" wrote Israa.
"Why don't we just install a microchip into our women to track them around?" joked another.
"If I need an SMS to let me know my wife is leaving Saudi Arabia, then I'm either married to the wrong woman or need a psychiatrist," tweeted Hisham.
"This is technology used to serve backwardness in order to keep women imprisoned," said Bishr, the columnist.
"It would have been better for the government to busy itself with finding a solution for women subjected to domestic violence" than track their movements into and out of the country.
Saudi Arabia applies a strict interpretation of sharia, or Islamic law, and is the only country in the world where women are not allowed to drive.
In June 2011, female activists launched a campaign to defy the ban, with many arrested for doing so and forced to sign a pledge they will never drive again.
No law specifically forbids women in Saudi Arabia from driving, but the interior minister formally banned them after 47 women were arrested and punished after demonstrating in cars in November 1990.
Last year, King Abdullah -- a cautious reformer -- granted women the right to vote and run in the 2015 municipal elections, a historic first for the country.
In January, the 89-year-old monarch appointed Sheikh Abdullatif Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh, a moderate, to head the notorious religious police commission, which enforces the kingdom's severe version of sharia law.
Following his appointment, Sheikh banned members of the commission from harassing Saudi women over their behaviour and attire, raising hopes a more lenient force will ease draconian social constraints in the country.
But the kingdom's "religious establishment" is still to blame for the discrimination of women in Saudi Arabia, says liberal activist Suad Shemmari.
"Saudi women are treated as minors throughout their lives even if they hold high positions," said Shemmari, who believes "there can never be reform in the kingdom without changing the status of women and treating them" as equals to men.
But that seems a very long way off.
The kingdom enforces strict rules governing mixing between the sexes, while women are forced to wear a veil and a black cloak, or abaya, that covers them from head to toe except for their hands and faces.
The many restrictions on women have led to high rates of female unemployment, officially estimated at around 30 percent.
In October, local media published a justice ministry directive allowing all women lawyers who have a law degree and who have spent at least three years working in a lawyer's office to plead cases in court.
But the ruling, which was to take effect this month, has not been implemented.
Will any thing happen on the 21/12/2012 ? pole shift ? solar flares ?
Came across this summary ?
The earth will pass through the galactic plane on the 21st of December. There is a very real possibility that the earth will go through a sudden and catastrophic pole shift as a result of passing through the Galactic plane. This will without a doubt shake the “foundations” of the earth like never before. Let me explain. We are currently above the galactic plane in the northern hemisphere of the Galaxies. The galactic plane is a flattened magnetic disc that acts as the equator of the galaxies. The magnetic field emanates from a “Super Massive Black Hole” in the centre of the galaxy. The magnetic field would normally be spherical in shape but because the black hole spins at an enormous rate the magnetic field flattens out like a disk and becomes “amplified”. Let’s assume that the northern hemisphere of the magnetic disc is positive and the earth’s southern hemisphere has a negative magnetic field, then the earth’s orientation in relation to the galactic plane would be similar, positive at the north and negative in the south. The north pole of the galactic plane will attract the south pole of the earth. As we pass through the galactic plan the earth’s northern hemisphere will come in alignment with the galactic plane’s northern hemisphere and the same will happen with the southern hemisphere. The earth being the smaller of the two will correct the alignment by flipping over like the needle on a compass. This will also create the effect spoken of in the word that the heavens will roll up like a scroll. The sun will discharge massive solar fairs as its manic filed goes through the same correction. The worst consequence of a solar flare is that it knocks out our power grids, hence no electricity and the subsequent and rapped collapse of all things modern.
