Fossils from New Zealand have revealed a giant penguin that was as big as a grown man, roughly the size of the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The creature was slightly shorter in length and about 20 pounds (9 kilograms) heavier than the official stats for hockey star Sidney Crosby. It measured nearly 5 feet, 10 inches (1.77 meters) long when swimming and weighed in at 223 pounds (101 kilograms). If the penguin and the Penguin faced off on the ice, however, things would look different. When standing, the ancient bird was maybe only 5-foot-3 (1.6 meters). The newly found bird is about 7 inches (18 centimeters) longer than any other ancient penguin that has left a substantial portion of a skeleton, said Gerald Mayr of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. A potentially bigger rival is known only from a fragment of leg bone, making a size estimate difficult. The biggest penguin today, the emperor in Antarctica, stands less than 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. Mayr and others describe the giant creature in a paper released Tuesday by the journal Nature Communications. They named it Kumimanu biceae, which refers to Maori words for a large mythological monster and a bird, and the mother of one of the study's authors. The fossils are 56 million to 60 million years old. That's nearly as old as the very earliest known penguin fossils, which were much smaller, said Daniel Ksepka, curator at the Bruce Museum of Greenwich, Connecticut. He has studied New Zealand fossil penguins but didn't participate in the new study. The new discovery shows penguins "got big very rapidly" after the mass extinction of 66 million years ago that's best known for killing off the dinosaurs, he wrote in an email. That event played a big role in penguin history. Beforehand, a non-flying seabird would be threatened by big marine reptile predators, which also would compete with the birds for food. But once the extinction wiped out those reptiles, the ability to fly was not so crucial, opening the door for penguins to appear. Birds often evolve toward larger sizes after they lose the ability to fly, Mayr said. In fact, the new paper concludes that big size appeared more than once within the penguin family tree. What happened to the giants? Mayr said researchers believe they died out when large marine mammals like toothed whales and seals showed up and provided competition for safe breeding places and food. The newcomers may also have hunted the big penguins, he said.

A wild early morning rampage by a crazed teenager who allegedly slammed into a jogger in Prospect Park with a stolen car was just the beginning of his reign of terror, the Daily News has learned. Michael Gitelis, 18, stole the Hyundai Sonata in Camden, N.J., at some point after midnight Thursday and careened into Brooklyn, police sources said. He drove into Prospect Park and slammed into a 51-year-old woman jogging along the East Drive at about 5 a.m. She suffered a pelvic fracture, a spinal fracture and a cut to her head. Gitelis, of Flatlands (a part of Brooklyn), abandoned the Sonata and three hours later reappeared about 15 blocks away on E. 23rd St. near Avenue J where a 59-year-old woman had stepped out of her car but left it running, sources said. “He was wreaking havoc,” a police source said. He jumped into the 2016 Honda and took off. The woman emerged from the store, saw that her car has vanished and called 911. Cops in the 66th Precinct spotted the stolen Honda on E. 7th St. and pulled it over. After the cops left their car, Gitelis threw the car into reverse and slammed into their police cruiser and a parked car, according to police. He then jumped out and ran off on foot down 7th St. toward Avenue K. Soon yet another 911 call came in. About 15 blocks away, outside a building on E. 13th St. near Avenue N, Gitelis knocked a 61-year-old woman to the ground and jumped into her 2018 Toyota Camry, cops said. He threw the car into reverse and ran her over, fracturing her knee and cutting her right hand, arm and leg. Before medics rushed her to Maimonides Medical Center, she was able to tell police that she had left her iPhone in car. Using the Find My iPhone app, cops tracked the car to Brooklyn Borough Hall and swept in and arrested him at 9:34 a.m., five hours after his wild run began. Officers Jared Vazquez and Miguel Marquez were credited with making the arrest, sources said. “When was this guy going to stop?” the police source said. “Thankfully officers intervened before someone else got seriously hurt.” Cops found the Sonata stolen in New Jersey on E. 23rd St. Gitelis was hit with a range of charges including robbery, assault, auto theft, grand larceny, and leaving the scene of a crash. He was not intoxicated, sources said. Gitelis had been arrested Dec. 1 in Brooklyn for making graffiti and resisting arrest and on Oct. 20 for burglary. On Sept. 14, he posted to Facebook, “Anybody know someone who can give me 5 hrs of driving instruction b4 Mon?” He also recently posted a number of angry fatalistic raps about life. “Torn in every direction … I try to take off the shroud but I’m stuck in a cloud that not floating,” he wrote. “U keeping me down, feeling alone, feelings be told. Never sweating but always feel cold. Feels like I’m an elf just working for a magic man that never exists.” In his most recent post, on Nov. 27, he wrote, “Prob should reread these posts b4 I send them but f–k it whoever doesn’t like it can s–t it and the rest of u r just stuck with it.”

As a big league umpire, Dale Scott saw maybe 1 million pitches from the field. His final call, it turned out, was the easiest of all. Rather than risk yet another concussion, Scott has decided to retire at 58. “I’m done,” he told The Associated Press. The veteran crew chief missed nearly the entire 2017 season after a foul ball off the bat of Baltimore slugger Mark Trumbo in Toronto on April 14 caught him hard in the mask, causing Scott’s second concussion in nine months and fourth in five years. Within a few days, while undergoing treatment for head, neck and shoulder injuries, Scott realized it was the end of a major league career that began in 1985 and included three World Series assignments, three All-Star Games and 91 postseason games. “In fact, it was pretty easy,” he said. “I wasn’t planning on this year being the last one. But I thought, this is a sign.” Especially when he asked three doctors about the possible long-term effects if he got jarred again. “They said, ‘We just don’t know,'” Scott said. “But they told me that the more times you get hit, the more probability that you’ll have issues.” This summer, he saw Bruno Mars and Green Day in concert, watched Fourth of July fireworks from a boat near his home in Portland, Oregon, and enjoyed more time with husband Michael Rausch. They’ve been together since 1986 and were married in November 2013 in Palm Springs, California, by the city’s mayor. Scott came out as gay after the 2014 season. The next spring training, Reds outfielder Marlon Byrd gave Scott a big hug while trotting to the dugout. “You’re free, brother. I’m so proud of you,” Byrd told him. Says Scott: “I did feel free. I am who I am.” Scott’s decision will resonate, said Billy Bean, Major League Baseball’s vice president for social responsibility and inclusion. Bean came out as gay after his big league career ended in 1995. “He has achieved everything in his umpiring career, and has carried himself with integrity and garnered the respect of his peers and MLB players,” Bean said. “I am filled with pride as I reflect on all of his accomplishments. He’s a pro’s pro, who’s been a wonderful example to the LGBT community and all sports fans.” “Years ago, Dale reached out to me after my personal story went public,” he said. “If we had been able to have that conversation when I was still playing, I know it would have changed the course of my career. Dale’s legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire others to pursue their dreams, and I hope we see the results around MLB soon.” Scott worked 3,897 regular-season games and was a crew chief for 16 seasons, half his career. “I was fortunate enough to have Dale as my crew chief for 10-plus years. A gifted umpire and true professional, he ran the crew with a smile as he mentored many of today’s most successful umpires,” fellow ump Dan Iassogna said. “The courage that he showed in coming out while still working on the field is as much of an accomplishment as his many World Series and postseason assignments,” he added. Scott acknowledged his decision to retire might have been more difficult if his circumstances were different — say, he was 40 and hadn’t worked the World Series. Now, he walks away with his health intact. And if there were any doubts, he keeps the video of that last violent concussion on his cellphone. MLB provides long-term disability for umpires who cannot work because of concussion effects, the same as it does for other permanent injuries. Scott wonders about umpires who are cleared as part of the concussion protocol and then face the choice of continuing to work and risk further injury, or leaving the game. “That needs to be addressed,” he said. “Maybe my situation can be a catalyst for that.” His future will include rooting like crazy for the Oregon Ducks and, having been a Top 40 AM radio DJ in high school, perhaps some voice work. Scott also can look back on all the games he did: Among them, he was the plate umpire for Scott Erickson’s no-hitter, he worked a season-opening series in Australia, and was the last umpire to eject hot-tempered manager Billy Martin. And there was that game at old County Stadium in 1986, when a big crowd turned out to welcome the hugely popular Gorman Thomas back to the Milwaukee Brewers. The first time Thomas batted, Scott called strike three. The fading slugger went 0 for 4 and when he got rung up in his last at-bat, it was more than Thomas could take. “It’s my night,” he pleaded with the rookie ump, “not yours!”

For years -- perhaps even decades, Donald Trump has been known for being brash, outspoken and easily confrontational. Those traits have been criticized by some and applauded by many as part of his frank and no-nonsense approach to his career and life in the White House. But a doctor who specializes in brain injury medicine has suggested in a new article that those very behaviors could indicate that the president suffers from a “degenerative brain disorder" and that he should be tested. “I see worrisome symptoms that fall into three main categories: problems with language and executive function; problems with social cognition and behavior; and problems with memory, attention, and concentration,” Dr. Ford Vox wrote in a piece published by the medical news site STAT last week. Vox names a series of specific examples from his time on the campaign trail and in office as signs of a bigger medical problem, including fragmented and repetitive speech patterns, the battles he engaged some Gold Star families in -- and even his regular claim that millions of illegal votes were cast for rival Hillary Clinton, which has not been substantiated by any reputable reporting. "I see worrisome symptoms that fall into three main categories: problems with language and executive function; problems with social cognition and behavior; and problems with memory, attention, and concentration," he writes. "None of these are symptoms of being a bad or mean person. Nor do they require spelunking into the depths of his psyche to understand. Instead, they raise concern for a neurocognitive disease process in the same sense that wheezing raises the alarm for asthma." "It’s time to discuss these issues in a clinical context…even if the president has a physical exam early next year and releases the records, as announced by the White House, what he really needs is thorough cognitive testing,” he continues. He also acknowledges that the evidence provided is not sufficient for a diagnosis, which is why he advocates testing. "It’s entirely possible that the president does not have predementia or is not progressing toward dementia. But he is definitely behaving as such," he adds. Vox joins a small, but growing chorus of medical experts who have spoke out about the president's behavior in clinical terms. Psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee has written two editorials on the matter in the past weeks, one for NBC and another in The New York Times, stressing the need for medical testing in both instances. “Trump has already exceeded our usual threshold for evaluation," Lee claimed in his piece for NBC. If reports are accurate, the behaviors may not not gone unnoticed inside the White House either. Most recently, Trump's "Art of the Deal" co-author Tony Schwartz said during an interview on MSNBC that a number of White House officials have expressed concerns about Trump’s “mental health." “I know that two different people from the White House ― or at least saying that they were from the White House and that turned out to be a White House number ― have called somebody I know in the last several weeks to say, ‘We are deeply concerned about his mental health,'" he said.

I've had a thing for Justin Verlander-Upton since he was a rookie. His face has never changed. He's not gorgeous, just very masculine. His nude pics were a disappointment, though. The only other Astro that turns me on is Altuve. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3528532.1506634252!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/star-rosters-baseball.jpg http://ww2.hdnux.com/photos/66/65/50/14375433/3/920x920.jpg

Ah, my late husband... if cellphones had existed back then, I'd have met him. My friend's a cameraman for CNN. He filmed an interview with Jon-Erik promoting COVER UP. He tried to reach me all day, but couldn't. I had to settle for an unedited copy of the tape. It begins with him talking about fate... how there's no sense to worry about things... he didn't look for a reason for why things happen. He mentioned people dying under accidental circumstances as an example.

At least twice a week, an 8-year-old Maude Julien was made to grasp an electric fence for 10 minutes at a time without betraying any feeling — no twitching or grimacing, not even a blink. The cruel ritual, supervised by her father, was considered a test of her willpower as he sought to turn her into the “ultimate survivor.” “I held on with both hands, and it was most important to show no reaction at the moment of the power surges,” recalled Julien, now 60, to The Post. “I had to stay impassive.” As if that weren’t disturbing enough, once a month, the little girl was locked overnight in a rat-infested cellar to “meditate about death.” Julien, now a grandmother living in Paris, has chronicled her horrifying childhood in the memoir “The Only Girl in the World” (Little Brown, out Tuesday). According to the book, she spent 18 years being mind-controlled by her paranoid dad, who belonged to an esoteric lodge of Freemasonry that dabbled in the occult and subscribed to a mishmash of oddball philosophies. He believed in a fallen world and thought that there would one day be an uprising of evil. In his mind, Maude had been chosen as a leader and his protector. “He was most definitely insane and an alcoholic,” said Julien of her father, Louis Didier, who died in 1981 at age 79. Didier, who became relatively wealthy from selling transport stock after World War II, created Maude for his own twisted purposes. It started when he adopted a 6-year-old girl, Jeannine, in 1936, then groomed her to become his wife. In November 1957, Jeannine gave birth to the child whom her husband would put through experiments to raise the perfect “superhuman.” The trio lived in an isolated mansion in northern France, where Julien was home-schooled and subjected to Didier’s countless “endurance tests.” These ranged from being dangled over a cliff and assisting in the slaughter of livestock, to drinking whiskey before having to walk in a straight line. To this day, Julien has liver damage from all the alcohol her father forced on her. For 10 years, between the ages 3 and 13, she was sexually abused by a laborer who worked on the estate. Meanwhile, Julien was forbidden from leaving the compound for nearly a decade. Her only companions were her dog and two ponies whom she adored. “I really think that, without my animals, I wouldn’t be alive today,” she said. “They gave me physical contact and warmth because nobody [in my family] was allowed to touch each other in the house. “I learned love and compassion from them.” She sought solace in books, though Didier dictated what she read. Eventually she became fond of Dostoyevsky and, particularly, “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas — which inspired Julien to dream of her escape. Amazingly, despite the mind control and hypnosis, the girl resisted being totally drawn into her father’s “cult of three.” But she suffered from self-loathing and took to self-harm as a coping mechanism. Mercifully, her savior came in 1972 in the form of a music tutor, Andre Molin, who arrived to teach her how to play the accordion and piano. “He played along with my father for three years to gain his trust,” explained Julien of how Molin eventually helped free her from the house. “Then he got my dad’s permission to teach me at his shop in a nearby town and I eventually got a job there.” When Julien was 18, Didier allowed her to wed a young musician she’d met during classes — with the caveat that she’d leave him after six months and return home a virgin. She seized the opportunity and fled for good. The six-year marriage produced a daughter, now 35. Julien later settled down with another man and had a second daughter in 1990. Julien is still estranged from her own mother, to whom the memoir is dedicated. “She is a victim and I sent the book to her with a note,” she said. “She didn’t react directly but I heard through intermediaries that she was afraid and wasn’t happy I wrote it.” Over the years, Julien has received intensive therapy to help cope with the traumas of the past. After receiving her psychology degree, she now treats patients of her own. She admits that writing her memoir triggered flashbacks to her childhood horrors. But she’s relieved her story’s being published. She said: “I really want it to be a book of hope — I consider it an escape manual.”

A five year old album I didn't know existed until a few months ago:

He's an award-winning pianist... and no, I don't know whether he has an award-winning penis. I enjoyed the last 2 episodes & have gone back to watch a few others. The one with Rob Lowe was dumb, despite getting to see Rob & Seth in bed. The episode in which Dr. Finn, her 2 kids, & Isaac get stranded was (I thought) the best of the season. The episode where they encounter a giant vessel adrift in space was good. The show got better as the season went on. Less goofy, more seriousness. I'm looking forward to season 2.

In the winter of 2003, Yankee third baseman Aaron Boone blew out his knee playing basketball. This led the Yankees to acquire ARod, the reigning MVP, who had to move from shortstop to third base because the Yanks already had a shortstop: Derek Jeter. Fourteen years later, new Marlins owner Derek Jeter has traded reigning MVP Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees (who can afford him because ARod’s contract finally came off the books in November), where Stanton’s new manager will be… Aaron Boone.

DEAR ABBY: I joined the Navy after I learned I was becoming a father. I didn't want to be a husband or father, but I did both. In 2010, my wife died. My feelings about being a husband and father never changed. Our two children are now grown and want me to move near -- or in with -- them. They say, "Won't it be great to be with your grandkids?" No, it won't! I worked and supported my family. When I was in port, I went to baseball, softball and basketball games, had tea with my daughter and did everything I believe I should have done. I have served my time. I don't want to "be close." Honestly, I'd prefer they left me alone. I don't love them, and I didn't love their mother. I did my duty to the best of my abilities both in uniform and in family. When we aren't together, I'm happy. I read, I study and do what I like. I've earned that, haven't I? How do I get them out of my life so that at age 52 I have my own life? I don't want to hurt anyone, but I never wanted a family in the first place. -- NEVER WANTED A FAMILY DEAR NEVER WANTED A FAMILY: The one thing you should not do is express your feelings to your children as bluntly as you have to me. Because you don't want to hurt them, a way to phrase it might be to say that having done your job as a parent to the best of your ability, you need time to yourself now -- time to read, study, travel, reflect, etc. Be sure to make clear that it has nothing to do with them -- that you are proud of them and the way they are handling their lives -- so they won't think they are somehow to blame.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend of more than 20 years is a busy person. She has a demanding job, a husband, two children and extended family she cooks for on most holidays. She also cares for an elderly distant relative. She has a heart of gold and is wonderful to me and my family. When I'm invited to her house for dinner, she refuses to let me help her clear the table. I'm not happy with that, but I accept it. The problem arises when I invite her over for dinner. Because we don't get to visit often, I'll pile the dishes in the kitchen so I can spend time with her and wash them later. But she cannot sit still and just have a conversation with me or anybody. You will find her in the kitchen scraping plates, soaking pans and hand-washing the wine glasses. This has become a point of contention because I like to unwind and clean my kitchen after my guests have left. I have tried working with her, but she prefers to power through the mess by herself, which gives us less time to sit and talk. How can I get through to her? -- ANXIOUS IN NEW YORK DEAR ANXIOUS: Assuming that you have spoken to your friend more than once about this, I think it's time to accept her the way she is, rather than the way you would like her to be. Some people are unable (notice I didn't say unwilling) to just sit still and have a conversation, and she appears to be one of them. If this is her only flaw, consider yourself blessed to have a sparkling kitchen when she leaves. DEAR ANXIOUS: Send her over to MY house, you ungrateful bitch!
