Scene at movie premiere in 1928

Found in extras on Chaplin DVD

Is it a time traveller?

MAYBE Future Day has arrived after all.

This week, the makers of Back To The Future kicked off celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the release of the original movie starring Michael J Fox.


In the same week, an Irish independent filmmaker has gone public with what he says is footage of a time traveller caught walking through a scene on a recent DVD release of Charlie Chaplin's 1928 film, The Circus.

"I believe I'm the first person to find something quite unusual from a bit of film footage from 1928," Mr Clarke says.

The scene can be found in the extras menu in Documents, under The Hollywood Premiere.
It's not in the movie - it's real footage and it features real members of the public in 1928.
Or does it, asks Mr Clarke, who spotted a mysteriously dressed stranger walking past the camera talking into what he says can only be a mobile phone.

"The only conclusion I can come to - which sounds absolutely ridiculous I'm sure, to some people - is it's a time traveller," he says.

"When you're looking at a bit of 1928 footage with an old woman ... on a mobile phone, it's kind of strange. You can't explain it."

Now the YouTube footage has passed the half-a-million mark, plenty have tried.

YouTube user "Barnwash" claims Australian police tested the first true two-way radio in 1928 and that maybe the woman was security in disguise.

Others claim it was a type of hearing aid.

Most of the naysayers hang their arguments on the fact that there were no phone towers or satellites in 1928, but they are quickly shot down by the believers who say those who possess time travel tech surely could circumvent this.

There's also plenty of speculation about the mysterious figure herself ... if it is indeed a woman.
"Did anyone notice how odd his feet looked," midwestwoman asked. "Thick ankles and then super thin feet?

They don't look right. Also her/his hand seemed abnormally large."

"Who is to say that time travel is not an 'interesting vacation' that people commonly take in the future to live/experience favorite time periods."

Who indeed? Certainly not Doc Brown, who some say bears a spooky resemblance to the "woman" in the footage...

Son of Jam Master Jay Follows in Dad's Footsteps

by Tom Llamas

NBCNewYork gets inside look into unsolved murder of pioneering rapper



It's "Tricky," but if you find yourself swaying your head to a familiar beat from a DJ with a familiar look, we suggest you do a double take.  

The son of Jam Master Jay is now spinning throughout New York City and he goes by the name DJ Jam Master J'son.

Jam Master Jay was the one-man band for RUN DMC -- a DJ with scratches and beats that kept the party going while the Rev. Run and DMC unloaded rhymes. Yet the pioneering rapper encountered the same fate as the greats after him like Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

Jam Master Jay was murdered eight years ago and his killer remains at large. He was gunned down in his Queens studio off Merrick Boulevard.

"To the world, Jam Master Jay was lost. To me, I lost my Dad," says Jason Mizell Jr.

"Witnesses were very afraid of the bat, some didn't want to cooperate, some did, but they were very afraid to cooperate," says former NYPD Detective Derrick Parker of the investigation into the still unsolved murder.

Parker wrote a book about the murder from his time working with Hip-Hop related crimes. He took NBCNewYork back to the scene of the crime: the second floor studio of 90-10 Merrick Boulevard.

"Apparently who ever was up there that buzzed those people in knew who they were letting in," said Parker, who like other investigators believes Jay knew his killer.

Jay's studio has been converted into the Hall of Fame studio owned by a new company that has kept Jay's legacy alive with painted murals and several RUN DMC memorabilia that decorate the walls.

Jay was playing video games with a friend when the killer walked into the studio with an accomplice and shot Jay point blank.

Police sources tell NBCNewYork witnesses have not come forward out of fear for their own lives. At least two people in the studio at the time of the murder saw the killer's face, yet no one will point a finger. The motive is still unknown, but investigators have discounted an early theory that the killing was based on a hip-hop dispute.

"It messed me up for a long time, actually," says Mizell Jr., who now doesn't dwell on his father's death.

He says if he had five minutes with his Dad he would ask him about music, not murder.

"How much (sic) hours did you literally spend staring at a turntable? My father didn't mess up ever -- that's pretty strange he was like a computer with the turntable."

Vladimir Putin's drug czar gets heated over California's Weed Legalization and Afghan poppies.

Interview: Viktor Ivanov

Putin's drug czar gets heated over California pot and Afghan poppies.

BY JOSHUA E. KEATING

Russia's top drug official warned in an interview with Foreign Policy on Friday of what he called the "catastrophic" consequences of marijuana legalization measures like California's upcoming ballot initiative, saying darkly that widespread legal drug use would produce "psychiatric deviations" and will only encourage drug addiction.

Viktor Ivanov, a former KGB officer and prominent member of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's inner circle, even took the unusual step of going to Los Angeles earlier this week to "conduct a campaign against legalizing marijuana in California," as he said in the interview. He also came to Washington this week to meet with U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske and U.S. Afghan envoy Richard Holbrooke to discuss anti-poppy measures in Afghanistan and call for an intensified program of aerial eradication.

The United States has largely abandoned eradicating the poppy crop in favor of a narrower strategy focusing on cutting off funding to the Taliban and cracking down on traffickers. Ivanov says that isn't enough to counter the flow of heroin into Russia, which kills tens of thousands of users every year. 

But California's laxity, it seems, was particularly startling to him. "I hadn't known about it before and I was absolutely shocked when I was in the city and saw these posters saying that you can get marijuana for medical purposes," he said. He met with Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Sheriff Leroy Baca to voice Russia's opposition to the measure. Noting that U.S. President Barack Obama has also expressed his opposition to legalization, Ivanov described it as "one of the cases where Russia and the U.S. agree completely."

He continued: "I'm afraid that the consequences of [legalization] will be catastrophic. Even the Netherlands, where they sell marijuana legally in coffee shops, they are now reversing on this. Because there, and everywhere, drug addiction is becoming stronger and the people who are addicted develop psychiatric deviations. They say, 'What does God do when he wants to punish a person? He deprives him of his mind.'"

Ivanov, who served in Afghanistan with the KGB during the Soviet Union's war in the 1980s expressed skepticism about the war effort in Afghanistan. "During the last five years the perception of the foreign powers by the local population has changed," he said. "Now they take it as a military occupation of their country."  

This was Ivanov's sixth meeting with his U.S. counterpart, Kerlikowske. In this meeting, Ivanov sought to push the United States to resume aerial eradication campaigns against poppy growing in Afghanistan. He thinks the United States should use "methods of defoliation similar to what's used in Colombia."

According to Russian figures, heroin, nearly all of it from Afghanistan, kills 30,000 Russians every year, Ivanov said. He also believes that the Central Asian states between Russia and Afghanistan are being "destroyed from the inside" by the violence and crime associated with the drug trade.

While Ivanov stressed that coordination with the U.S. side is improving, he also noted "American officials are quite disciplined and they always stick with the strategy as it's been laid out."

That seems to apply in particular to the State Department. After a meeting last year with Holbrooke -- an outspoken skeptic of the utility of poppy eradication -- Ivanov said that the envoy had "confirmed our fears that they are not prepared to destroy the production of drugs in Afghanistan." This time, Ivanov noted that, as "[Holbrooke] was a bit short of time, we started the meeting with him; then he handed us to his deputy." He said the two still don't completely see eye to eye.

"The argument that now NATO and Holbrooke are using is that if we destroy poppy crops it will deprive peasants of their livelihood. It sounds so touching that they're taking care of the peasants, but it's not to be taken seriously," he says. "Those peasants do not profit from poppy. They make at most $70 per year.
Those who profit from it are the landlords living in Europe and American and the Gulf countries. If we could give the land back to the Afghan government and provide these peasants with wheat, they could easily make their $70 a year growing wheat, not poppy."

Ivanov also said reports of progress on shutting down opium laboratories have been exaggerated.

"One of the results we discussed is a 92 percent increase in the number of laboratories destroyed. From the point of view of arithmetic, this is the case. In reality it looks a little bit different." According to Ivanov, the number of identified drug laboratories operating in Afghanistan has actually increased from 175 in 2008 to 425 today. The real number is likely much higher. He described the efforts to crack down on laboratories so far as a "drop in the ocean."

According to Ivanov, Russian authorities have passed on the location -- including GPS coordinates -- of several known Afghan drug laboratories to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. But because resources for drug eradication are controlled by NATO forces, no steps have been taken to eradicate them, he claims.

Ivanov said he also has doubts about the very premise of the war in Afghanistan. "[In 2001] it was explained that the Taliban was a terrorist organization and that's why [the invasion] was necessary. Now many years later, it turns out that there's a so-called moderate Taliban -- moderate terrorists -- who can be reintegrated back into power. Does that mean we made a mistake nine years ago and all this time we have been correcting it?"

Ivanov suggested that the invasion of Afghanistan might have been partly motivated Western companies seeking to exploit Central Asian energy resources. "If we look back before the invasion, starting in 1997, a number of American companies were negotiating with the Taliban about putting in a pipeline in Afghanistan ... bringing gas from Turkmenistan south toward India. There were negotiations in Kabul and Houston and Washington. In 2001, those negotiations ended in a deadlock because the American side wanted a bigger pipeline, while the Taliban wanted smaller pipes in order to provide smaller towns and villages with gas. From the American side, the negotiator was Unocal and the negotiator from that company was the employee of that company, Hamid Karzai."

It has been suggested several times, notably in Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, that Karzai may have once worked as a consultant for Unocal, but both the company and the Afghan president deny any connection. 

Despite his staunch support for anti-drug measures, Ivanov also said that efforts so far have not borne much fruit and might in fact be making the problem worse. 

"In this one single location, 95 percent of global heroin production is taking place," he told FP. "Ironically, it's the same place where the efforts of the global community are concentrated. It's like a surgeon who has decided to treat one organ but as a result has cut up all the organs around it."

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo: Gamecocks UPSET #1 Alabama

Sunrise In South Carolina

After all the pain, the Gamecocks gave fate another shot and beat No. 1 Alabama.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- After watching his South Carolina football team fumble away a big lead in a 35-27 loss at Auburn two weeks ago, Steve Spurrier asked his players to put their faith in something that has never been very kind to the Gamecocks.

"Let's give fate a chance," Spurrier told his team, during a meeting a couple of days after the Gamecocks squandered a 20-7 lead against the Tigers.

"If fate is going to smile on South Carolina, then we have to give it a chance. Who knows? If you give fate a chance, something big may happen."

In front of a sold-out crowd of 92,993 fans, the No. 19 Gamecocks stunned No. 1 Alabama 35-21 on Saturday, ending the Crimson Tide's winning streaks of 29 consecutive regular-season games and 18 straight SEC contests.

"It was nice to beat the No. 1 team, there's no question about that," Spurrier said. "It has to be one of the best days for our university ever, I would have to guess."

For more than a century, fate has often stricken the Gamecocks in the worst ways. After all, there's only one conference championship commemorated on the walls of Williams-Brice Stadium -- the 1969 ACC title.

In more than 100 years of playing football, South Carolina has won only four bowl games and it has never played in a lucrative BCS bowl game in the modern era. For much of the past two decades, the Gamecocks have been also-rans in the SEC East, chasing programs like Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

Finally, fate shined on the Gamecocks on Saturday, just like it used to shine on Spurrier's pass-happy teams at Florida, where he led his alma mater to six SEC titles and the 1996 national championship.

It was the third time South Carolina defeated a No. 1-ranked team in a men's sport this year. The Gamecocks' basketball team upset No. 1 Kentucky, and their baseball team defeated No. 1 Arizona State in the College World Series on the way to winning the school's first national title in any men's sport.

"I think that this game was meant to be," Spurrier said. "I used a line this week that I've never used in my life. Since our basketball team had beat No. 1 and our baseball team had done it, I said, 'Fellas, if fate means for us to win this game Saturday then let's give it a chance.'"

And beating the Crimson Tide in front of a packed house and national TV audience meant so much more for South Carolina's starved fans.

"It was an unbelievable feeling," South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia said. "I'm not really sure how to describe the feeling right now, but it's unbelievable."

During the last six seasons, Spurrier has tried to make the Gamecocks relevant in the SEC East. He surprised nearly everyone by coming out of retirement to take over a mediocre South Carolina program in 2005 and didn't win more than eight games in each of his first five seasons.

After the loss at Auburn, the Gamecocks again seemed to be in danger of falling back into mediocrity. Garcia fumbled twice in the second half at Auburn and was benched in the fourth quarter. Freshman Connor Shaw threw two interceptions late in the game, and Spurrier was questioned for shuffling his quarterbacks once again.

"We had a big pow-wow talk and said if we were going to have a big year, we couldn't play like we did at Auburn," Spurrier said.

The Gamecocks played like they were the best team on the field against Alabama. Garcia looked like the best quarterback on the field, better than Alabama's Greg McElroy, who had never lost as a starting QB in high school or college.

South Carolina freshman Marcus Lattimore looked like the most dangerous runner on the field, even better than Alabama's two-headed monster of reigning Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson. Gamecocks receiver Alshon Jeffery made big play after big play, outshining Alabama All-America candidate Julio Jones.

Spurrier even looked like the best coach on the sideline again. He kept Alabama's defense guessing, and the Gamecocks were able to hold the Crimson Tide to only 36 rushing yards on 29 carries.

"I think our guys got together and said, 'Let's give it a little more effort and see what happens," Spurrier said. "That was our rallying cry."

The Gamecocks stunned Alabama early and often. After the Crimson Tide kicked a field goal to take a 3-0 lead on its first possession, South Carolina scored three consecutive touchdowns to make the score 21-3.
Garcia, who has been maligned throughout his three-year career, was a perfect 9-for-9 passing for 94 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. The Gamecocks had a 21-9 lead at the half.

"I guess it couldn't have come at a better time, playing against the No. 1 team," said Garcia, who finished with 201 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 17-for-20 passing. "Coach Spurrier said, 'Let's give fate a chance,' and we did."

But in the opening minutes of the second half, it looked like fate would rear its ugly head again. On the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, center T.J. Johnson snapped the ball over Garcia's head. Garcia picked up the fumble at South Carolina's 4-yard line. Instead of falling down or scrambling to escape, Garcia threw the football through the back of his team's end zone for a safety.

Alabama got the ball back and kicked a 39-yard field goal to cut South Carolina's lead to 21-14 with 9:37 to play.

"They said it was my first incompletion of the game," Garcia said. "Oh, well."

Instead of collapsing like they've done so many times in the past, the Gamecocks stood tall.

"We played some ball today," Spurrier said. "We didn't get a bunch of fumble returns or blocked punts. We didn't do any of that stuff. We had to play ball today, we played until the end and looked up and had beaten No. 1 by a couple of touchdowns."

With its victory, South Carolina becomes a major player in the SEC East race with key remaining games against No. 11 Arkansas on Nov. 6 and at No. 14 Florida on Nov. 13.

The Crimson Tide, who played in each of the last two SEC championship games, now find themselves in a dogfight in the SEC West. Alabama was playing its third straight difficult game, after coming from behind to win at Arkansas 24-20 on Sept. 25 and blowing out Florida 31-6 at home last week.

"It hurts a lot," McElroy said. "It's not a good feeling. There are a lot of guys on this team who have never experienced a loss."

During South Carolina's postgame celebration in its locker room, one of Spurrier's players suggested the team award a game ball to fate.

"I'll accept it for fate," Spurrier told his team.

Indeed, fate finally shined on the Gamecocks and now almost anything seems possible.
