"We Got Married" Suffers Drop in Ratings after Controversial Video of Yewon and Lee Tae Im Leaked
"We Got Married" had been maintaining a steady rating of 4 to 5 percent of viewers nationwide each week, but that number dropped drastically this week after a video of Yewon and Lee Tae Im's argument was uploaded online.
After seeing the video, many Korean netizens have been calling for a boycott of the show in response to the revelation that Yewon, one of "We Got Married"'s new stars, had previously lied to the public about the incident.
This appears to have led to a considerable decrease in viewers this week. The previous episode, which aired on March 21, was watched by 4.8 percent of viewers nationwide. In comparison, the episode which aired on March 28 garnered only a 3.9% rating. That's a difference of 0.9 percent. This is despite the fact that Yewon did not even appear in this week's episode, as her segment with her virtual husband Super Junior-M's Henry was omitted due to time constraints according to network MBC.

From episode 4 we can see that Jolly V and Tymee's rivalry is going to come to a head, and boy did it ever. Beyond that, we get a few surprises, not the least of which is a new rapper joining the ladies more than halfway through the show.

[HanCinema"s Drama First Look] "Super Daddy Yeol"
Both the comedic and dramatic sides of the show have a talented cast portraying them and this is really the biggest good point of the series at this point in time. Lee Dong-geon and Lee Yoo-ri are doing great with the extremely problematic material they are given, Lee Re is a delight and seeing a world lacking in the typical rich heirs or cool and mean-spirited jealous second leads is a pleasant change in itself. The series is also very fair in its focus between its two leads and there is some potential with the second leads and secondary characters, who are rooted enough into the leads" lives to surely matter down the road.

[HanCinema"s Drama Review] "Doctor Frost"
Romantic comedy elements are not usually present in such shows neither are they necessary. This series does feature some bickering and the potential for something romantic between its two leads. However, it is the opposite nature of them, the chemistry and what this brings out of the male character that make it interesting and appropriate for this work. A man who cannot display emotion and a woman who feels and shows too much clash in interesting ways and this adds to the topics the series explores, but also adds lightness.

The gentle rolling hills with handsome horse farms are everything you hope they'd be. The farms and horses are drop dead gorgeous!

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
If all politics is local, how much more so housing and economic growth? While it's easy to despair over some recent punk U.S. economic numbers, a look at specific metropolitan areas suggests a more sanguine view.
Last year, 24% of the nation's metropolitan statistical areas (the nomenclature used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis for districts) enjoyed economic growth of more than 4%, substantially higher than the national rate of 3%.
Uptrend: Some areas, such as Kokomo, Ind., and Boston, had economic growth that solidly beat the U.S. pace in 2010. William Waitzman for Barron's
"Sometimes, we think of it as a homogenous universe, and it's not," says Paul Ballew, chief economist of Nationwide Insurance, who drew Barron's attention to the statistics and provided the charts to support his contention. "There are parts of the U.S. that are surging."
The turbocharged growth occurred in areas as diverse as San Jose, Calif., where GDP advanced 13.4%, and Kokomo, Ind., where it grew nearly 7%. Ballew says the fast-growing areas tend to have one of three dimensions associated with them: a sector, like technology, that's expanding quickly; industries that snapped back (in Kokomo's case, it was recreational-vehicle manufacturing and industrial businesses); and avoidance of the housing bubble.
Industrial diversity helps, too, Ballew says, citing Rochester, Minn., with 7% growth, or even Boston, with external business services and education, which saw nearly 5% growth.
And a cursory look at housing data from 2010 from the National Association of Realtors bears out the idea that housing prices are closely tied to economic growth. In the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy area, housing prices actually rose 7.4% in 2010.
Last Week: Review
Boo-Hoo Bonds
The European sovereign-debt crisis continued to weigh heavily on markets, as both Spain and France were forced to pay high prices at debt auctions and as the European Central Bank's interventions in the euro-zone bond market failed to calm jitters. Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa called the European debt crisis the biggest danger to Japan's recovery. Fitch ratings said U.S. lenders "could be greatly affected" if contagion continues to spread beyond distressed European countries. Moody's downgraded 10 German lenders.
Health Care on Docket
The Supreme Court agreed to consider the constitutionality of the health-care reform law in March, and will probably decide the case months before the election. The justices will hear arguments focusing on the requirement that individuals buy health insurance, starting in 2014, or face a penalty.
Pressure Points
Stocks were pressured by the euro-zone developments, with the S&P 500 falling 3.81% on the week, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average off 2.94%, to 11,796.16. Gold and oil prices also slid. Yields on the benchmark 10-year bond fell to 2.01%. But Friday, it was reported that leading indicators had jumped 0.9% in October.
Opposing Opinions
Europe's debt crisis is "more serious" than the housing bubble, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson said. But Goldman Sachs head Lloyd Blankfein looks for a faster global economic rebound than most forecasters expect. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said, "We should be behaving as if there's a very big problem out there."

Sorcerers, Cyclops, Djinnis . . . Magic.
Thirteen-year-old Zardi loves to hear stories about fantastical beings long banned from the kingdom of Arribitha. But anyone who is caught whispering of their powers will feel the rage of the sultana terrifying tyrant who, even with his eyes closed, can see all.
When her own beloved sister is captured by the evil ruler, Zardi knows that she must risk everything to rescue her. Along with Rhidan, who is her best friend, and an unlikely crew of sailors led by the infamous Captain Sinbad, Zardi ventures forth into strange and wondrous territory with a seemingly impossible mission: to bring magic back to Arribitha and defeat the sultan once and for all.
Jasmine Richards was born in London, grew up in a library, and was the first in her family to go to university.

-Angie Sage, author of the internationally best-selling series, Septimus Heap
"Readers will want to spend a thousand and one nights in the exotic world of The Book of Wonders. It's a dazzling tale!"
-Diane Zahler, author of The Thirteenth Princess

Best UFO Parts Supply (2011)
Apex Electronics & Surplus
Whether it's finding a replacement bead condenser for a 1955 Interocitor or picking up a spare drop tank for your Vietnam-vintage F5-A fighter jet, Apex Electronics & Surplus is L.A.'s otherworldly first stop in any gadgeteer's quest for the obsolete, the exotic, the out-of-production or the not-yet-imagined. Specializing in electronic, electrical and mechanical salvage, Apex has been dealing in the "slightly used" detritus of American industry for more than 50 years. This is the real heavy metal — old-school hardware for the hard-core that can be had for a song. Apex's overstuffed shelves — full of gauges and gears, solenoids and switches, connectors and capacitors, actuators and adaptors, relays and resistors — harken back to an age when "Made in the USA" applied to more than Wall Street billionaires. Second-generation proprietors Don Slater and his sister, Melissa, are full of family lore about fabled finds, such as the time a brigade of red-faced men in black raided the shop to recover the still-top-secret tube included in a shipment of DOD-surplused missile-guidance components. Such provenance has made Apex a haunt for foreign agents, backyard rocket scientists and Hollywood prop men alike. Looking for a Klystron power supply for your satellite ground station? Apex has it. How about an Eisenhower-era Rocketdyne stabilizer engine to help that satellite into orbit? Look no further. The retro-future is now. 8909 San Fernando Road, Sun Valley.

March 15, 2011 / straitstimes.com
WASHINGTON - A US ENVOY will head this week to Vietnam and Cambodia to look at ways to resume adoptions, which have been suspended due to concerns over child trafficking, the State Department said on Monday.
Susan Jacobs, the special US adviser on children's issues, will head on Wednesday to the South-east Asian countries for talks with officials and other stakeholders on adoption, the department said.
The United States suspended adoptions from Cambodia in 2001 and from Vietnam in 2008. In Vietnam, a US probe found that some adoption rackets were paying US$10,000 (S$12,660) 'donations' to orphanages to claim falsely that infants were abandoned.
The State Department, in a statement, said it 'welcomes Vietnam's strong efforts to create a child welfare system and an inter-country adoption process that will meet its obligations' under the Hague treaty on adoptions.
The United States is the world's largest source of adoptive parents. Other countries have also been moving to restart adoptions in South-east Asia, with Cambodia drafting regulations for children to be adopted by French parents. -- AFP

Victoria's Secret
Yes, Victoria's Secret may seem too mainstream a choice for our list of the sexiest lingerie in the world. But precisely because it is pretty much synonymous with lingerie in America, it deserves a spot on GAYOT's list. After all, it's Victoria's Secret who made sexy, luxurious underthings affordable for the average American woman. It's also Victoria's Secret who reminds us that real women — unlike runway models — have boobs and butts, albeit of the perky variety. These days, Victoria's Secret beauties like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Miranda Kerr share the spotlight with the malnourished mannequins favored by the haute couture houses. As for the guys, Victoria's Secret — with its large, well-lit, friendly stores — has taken the intimidation out of shopping for your girl's assets. Also, not everyone has a private jet to fly to Paris for the weekend and return with a suitcase filled with pricey dessous. Thanks to "VS", inexpensive yet sexy (and well-fitting) lingerie is just a mall's throw away. Even if you live in Kansas.

Had a go at rooting Samsung i9000. It's quite old, and clearly clogged up to the hilt with the apps very laggy and frequently crashing. I quite fancied getting rid of the bloatwear too and the bloody annoying splash screen at start up!
Needless to say, it's all gone belly up. I've tried a couple of things using the guides here, but I don't want to keep pushing my luck in case I completely brick the device.
I'm running an i9000 in the UK on the o2 (Well, giffgaff) network. It was running Gingerbread, 2.3.5 I think. As it stands, I can get into the download option, but nothing else. I had used Odin 3, but have since read that the highest level is 1.83, which I now have. This might have caused the initial problem, but it's "soft" bricked. I've tried to flash over a stock rom again, but I keep getting failure notices. I can't get past the "Can't open the serial (COM) port" error message on Odin. I've downloaded the drivers and they have successfully installed.
One thing I don't think I did beforehand was to enable USB debugging.
I also tried the guide on here which uses the pit method, and curiously enough, it went through without the COM port error. The only thing that did, however, was to remove the "Phone + PC" logo. I am still able to get into download though.
Help! I am due to get a new phone very shortly, but it would be very useful to get the phone working again in the meantime! Any help very much appreciated.

We know that "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982) is the best of all of the "Star Trek" movies. I am not stating anything new here. The rest of the series of films struggled to repeat the mastery of this film, and the reboot has also fallen short, thus far. I did, however, watch Star Trek 2 recently to see if the overlooked "Star Trek: First Contact" was able to take the helm as the Best of the Treks. In the process, however, I realized that Star Trek 2 is a much better movie than I remembered. I invite everyone to watch this movie again to appreciate how great it really is. This is a great movie. It is exciting. It is complex. It is emotional and philosophical. It is one of the great adventure movies.
"The Captains" is available on Netflix, EpixHD.com, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu and DVD. It will screen on HBO Canada March 21.
Stardate 65630.8 (1 March 2012)
What made "Star Trek" the most "durable and profitable franchise" in entertainment history? In his documentary, writer-director-producer William Shatner makes a convincing argument that it was "The Captains" -- they set the tone and they brought the theatricality and Shakespearean linguistic grace to TV.
"The Captains," appeared in October, 2011, in Canada, had one-night screenings here and there across North America, and helped launch EpixHD.com. That all seems in keeping with Shatner's impressive role as a new-media barnstormer. No, he's not making political speeches, but he's on Google+ and Facebook, and he's traveling around North America promoting and preserving what may be his most lasting legacy, his role as Captain James T. Kirk. He's even returned to Broadway in a one-man show covering his career before, during and beyond "Star Trek." (Yes, "returned.")
In Hollywood, people joke about the William Shatner School of Acting. He's corny. He's melodramatic. And he has a sizable ego. But he's really not a bad actor. We forget that before "Star Trek," Shatner seemed destined to become a fine stage actor. He first made the trip to Broadway from his native Canada in 1956 with a small part in "Tamburlaine the Great" in 1956. The production had two Tony nominations. He scored the starring role in "The World of Suzie Wong," which ran for two years. Both he and the female lead won Theatre World Awards for their work. In 1962, he was one of the main performers in "A Shot in the Dark," for which Walter Matthau won a featured actor Tony. All that momentum got sidetracked when he went Hollywood.
Marie writes: If you're like me, you enjoy the convenience of email while lamenting the lost romance of ink and pen on paper. For while it's possible to attach a drawing, it's not the same thing as receiving hand-drawn artwork in the mail. Especially when it's from Edward Gorey..."Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the...", a children's story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey's shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Gorey's drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity. This was the beginning of an invigorating friendship, fueled by a wealth of letters and postcards that sped between the two men through the fall of 1969."

Descriptive Edition
This is an exact reproduction of the original 1969 classic work, My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer. Unfortunately, there have been many efforts by other authors and contributors to "improve" on Fischer's work by converting the text into algebraic notation and then correcting what they thought were mistakes in analysis. It turned out that what they thought were mistakes by Fischer were mistakes by themselves. Fischer's analysis was correct. Their's was wrong. As a result, Fischer famously went on the radio to denounce those who claimed to have "improved" on his work.
My 60 Memorable Games

Igor Stohl has selected 62 outstanding games from recent years and analysed them in painstaking depth. Here he presents his findings to chess enthusiasts, who will find the games entertaining and the annotations both instructive and illuminating. Stohl is an outstanding theoretical expert, so the opening phase of each game reads like a lesson in the key strategic aspects of the opening chosen, with a critical survey of modern trends. The middlegame is dissected and the critical decisions subjected to keen scrutiny - we are invited inside Stohl's laboratory to join him in the quest for the truth. The endgame phase, if reached, is handled with similar erudition, with insights into the grandmaster's approach to questions of technique.
Instructive Modern Chess Masterpieces
Translated by Robert Sherwood from the 1909 edition published in Germany. Maroczy was the strongest player who ever annotated all of Morphy's games and thus to non-German language readers, it should be of special interest, especially since the standards for analytical notes were far higher even in 1909 than were accepted when these games were played.
