"The youngest I ever had was this little guy. He was 7 weeks old. He'd come out with a head full of hair. So his great-grandfather brings him, holds him in his arms while I go to work. The baby is fast asleep. Never woke up."
Mayor Warren Kusumoto arrives and presents Helseth with a Certificate of Recognition proclamation from the City Council that praises his 45 years in the city. The mayor has been a customer for 15 years. He consoles Helseth for a few moments and tells him that he has been a tremendous asset to the community.
"It's the end of an era," Kusumoto tells me when I ask if turning the barbershop into a Chase Bank is a good thing for Los Alamitos. He hesitates some.
"Unfortunately, it's progress," he says. "Is it a bad thing? It depends."
Twins Grill, the large burger joint at Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue, served its last meal on Wednesday. Proprietors of the other shops in the mall were hauling out furniture and other items that afternoon. Helseth will close for good today.
"I'll miss the people the most," Helseth says as he trims Brian Kozak, 70. "I mean, I've met some really, really nice people here."
He once had three barbers working for him. He has only one now, Mel Law, who says he's found a new shop in Long Beach. Helseth for a time considered maybe opening up elsewhere, but says he quickly realized doing so would cost him $20,000 to $30,000 to do so. Even if the cost wasn't a factor, he says, it would never be the same.
He will continue renewing his license, he said. He will still go to various hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities where some of his longtime customers now reside.
Beyond that, Gary Helseth says he has no idea of what he will do next.
"He won't be bored," daughter Karry says.
"I think he'll still cut hair part time," Kelly says.
The barber looks up from his customer's head, and shakes his head slowly.
"No, no," he says, "I'm done."

Is this Alice or Alias? Something to ponder while navigating the deluxe rabbit-hole theme-park ride of ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland spinoff (Thursday, 8/7c), in which a feisty and literally kick-ass Alice (Sophie Lowe) battles her way out of insane-asylum confinement with Sydney Bristow-level brio. She even has a Will Tippen-like sidekick in the sheepishly raffish Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha of the British Being Human), who stands by as Alice goes all action heroine.
Sam and Dean head back to St. Louis, Mo. (site of Season 1's "Skin") where they have to figure out a way to help someone who already knows about what they do — the family business. In fact, this police officer once saved the hunters' lives while they worked a case together.
These days, James Frampton is also a witch...one that comes complete with a collared human/canine familiar named Portia. Any Supernatural fan knows that Dean hates witches. Turns out he's not into dogs either. This is definitely not the case for him.
After four really strong episodes ("LARP and the Real Girl", "As Time Goes By", "Everybody Hates Hitler", and "Trial and Error"), I have to admit that I couldn't quite get into this one. "Man's Best Friend with Benefits" was simply OK. I love the title but it was way light on mythology. The case didn't quite hook me. I didn't connect with the humor. Even the Sam and Dean moments couldn't save things for me. I still love Season 8 but you can't win them all.

Two-time Academy Award Winner Kevin Spacey gives the performance of a lifetime in CASINO JACK, a riotous new film starring Spacey as a man hell bent on acquiring all that the good life has to offer. He plays in the same game as the highest of rollers and resorts to awe-inspiring levels of conning, scheming and fraudulent antics to get what he wants.
Inspired by true events that are too over-the-top for even the wildest imaginations to conjure, CASINO JACK lays bare the wild excesses and escapades of Jack Abramoff. Aided by his business partner Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper), Jack parlays his clout over some of the world's most powerful men with the goal of creating a personal empire of wealth and influence. When the two enlist a mob-connected buddy (Jon Lovitz) to help with one of their illegal schemes, they soon find themselves in over their heads, entrenched in a world of mafia assassins, murder and a scandal that spins so out of control that it makes worldwide headlines.

Question: First, congrats on your great column. My weeks always start and end with you. I wanted to get your feeling on the representation of homosexuality on TV shows lately, because I feel that we've reached a turning point. I think that after a short period of (needed?) overexposure, with every show having a gay character and shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Queer as Folk, we are actually moving toward equality between gay and straight characters. For instance, I know that a lot of gay people have ground their teeth at Andrew being gay and evil on Desperate Housewives, but I actually believe that this is a good thing: We've got past the dichotomy of, on the one hand, the political correctness of the gay guy who's a great guy with no sexuality (Will & Grace) and, on the other hand, the cliché of the gay guy with nothing but his sexuality (Queer as Folk). Finally gay characters get to be something else than "just gay." They are handled the same way as straight characters ...

I'm pretty sure I'm still dreaming. As far as I can tell, this dream started a year and a half ago, so it's actually still June 2004, it's 3:30 in the morning, and I "wake up" with the first scene vividly playing out in my head: His daughter's been arrested. This guy (I hadn't even come up with names yet) has to go pick up his teenage daughter at a police station, way down in Riverdale, in the middle of the night. What the heck was she doing in Riverdale?! He's worried to death. He's angry. He's scared. But more than anything... he's uncomfortable. He is a WASP, after all — they don't go to police stations. And certainly not in the middle of the night! By the time he gets her and his wife home, it's dawn; they have to get ready for church. As he sits alone in his car, he reaches for the biggest obstacle in his life right now — his Vicodin. Then... Smash Cut to: the Pulpit. He's a priest! That's it. That's my way in. I finally found my way into a world that's bee

Aidan Quinn's Daniel Webster sees and talks to Jesus in NBC's new (and controversial) The Book of Daniel (premiering Jan. 6 at 9 pm/ET, before settling into its Fridays-at-10 time slot). Then again, maybe the good reverend is simply stoned on all the Vicodin he's taking on the sly. Or stressed out about having a gay son or a pot-dealing daughter. Yes, it's that kind of "religious" series.
But as opposed to the most obvious comparison, CBS' God-seeing Joan of Arcadia, Daniel's sit-downs with J.C. (played by Deadwood's Garret Dillahunt) aren't presented as "the grand gimmick." "If someone wants to make it the hook, they could, but I think it's very much just a by-product," Quinn tells TVGuide.com. "The

Question: The show that you said you liked, The Book of Daniel, is saved! What is it about exactly and when do you think it will debut?
Answer: The Book of Daniel will premiere on NBC sometime midseason, but the real questions will be on what night and at what time. The show will need to be protected, which may be tough for NBC if the network continues to slip this fall, which is entirely possible. For instance, it would be disastrous if it were scheduled Fridays at 10 pm/ET, replacing the unbearable new drama Inconceivable. This show needs to air where people might actually find it. Daniel is a darkly comic drama starring Aidan Quinn as an Episcopal minister juggling domestic and professional problems, with scandals erupting at every turn and a skeptical bishop (Ellen Burstyn) watching his every move. The cast in the pilot includes Once and Again's terrific Susanna Thompson as his wife, Christian Campbell as his gay son, and as Jesus — who appears to Daniel frequently — Garret Dillahunt

 Thanks so much for repling to my post! Haha I feel like I am talking to a celebrity. :) Ok, I'll try to see what I can find out about all of those as best as I can. (Haha it's hard to find time inbetween a full schedule and trying to build a quality portfolio but this is really important to me.) I really think animation is one of the most fun fields out there and I only think we are so lucky to live in a century where we have the technology to make things the way we do now. (Haha sorry for the philsophical moment.)

Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about AM in general please? I'm still trying to presuade my parents that I really should go to AM and that animation is a good field. (They aren't too happy about allowing me to move to CA considering I live on the east coast now and the cost of living there is so expensive.)

Ok on to the questions:

1.) Is a portfolio needed to be accepted for AM(if so what should be included) and if not what are the students accepted based on?

2.) Are there ever scholarships for AM? (I know the cost of AM is 1,000 times cheaper than most animation schools but the cost is still kind of difficult to come up with.)

3.) I noticed that AM mostly uses premade characters, I was really hoping to create some of my own for my demo reel(half of the fun of it, you know?), does AM still allow students to do character design in their clips?

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks for your interest in our report!

We commissioned a third-party firm to conduct the survey that was sent out to the animation industry. More than 1,200 professional animators from over a dozen countries responded to the survey. Most of the research is drawn from this survey.

Some of our outside sources include MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics, The Hollywood Reporter, Game Daily, and the U.S. Department of Labor. All of our sources are attributed throughout the report.

Hope that helps! Many of our students are in similar situations as you are -- they have attended a four-year university, but didn't gain character animation skills. So whatever path you decide to take, we wish you the best of luck!

Well, I have to earn the money(including getting my first job to afford AM, but it's worth it!) to go first but...

My school sadly doesn't offer a degree in animaton, like most colleges, and most of the top animation schools were too expensive. I'm so greatful you guys made AM, it's giving me a chance to learn animaton without having to go in debt for many years. :)

Thanks so much for writing this article the statistics were great and I really liked learning about all of it. Thanks for others posting what they know about the industy as well, I always thought that the a good decision must be well informed, as best as we can right? I know the industry is both growing and being outsourced making it harder for us to get a job, but if you really like what you do isn't it worth the chance to try? Thanks again, I hope to see you on AM soon!Karenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-49714467952150983562008-10-27T02:47:00.000-07:002008-10-27T02:47:00.000-07:00The media industry to reach $2.2 trillion?

Thank you for the first report I ever read that covered the whole business and not just one branch or one special profession!

It's so great written and designed and the best is that so much information is put in just so few pages.

Right now, i am done with know-it-alls, minimum wage, office politics and bad hours.

Sure i love animation and i dream of a nice office enviroment with nice people to work with.

But...The politics e.g. who did this? why? you should have done that! We don't trust you are good enough to handle this shot! Why give that shot to her? She can't it!

us v.s. them develops in an office quick.

Too much for me.

I'd rather do my own projects during weekends. You wonder why, if you read Dimitri's comment above, that "...10% of people he met in school are still working in the industry, most of them turned to other graphic jobs or went to a totally different industry..."

I suspect minimum wage, politics, bad people and bad hours. besides, i've never read anywhere where they advice e.g. a C++ programmer to have a good attitude. never. but read 3D career advice, its almost universal, "have a great attitude"?

they say that because they know that there is a type 3D "artist" that can make an office unbearable.Pop Cultist Bitchhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-568416200996850535.post-8322985979016276042008-10-16T14:45:00.000-07:002008-10-16T14:45:00.000-07:00Well let me know when you find an industry that's ...Well let me know when you find an industry that's NOT full of them, Pop Cultist.

What should be emphasized though is that there is still a huge competition going on.

Within all the people I met during my final year of studying 3D animation, only a few (I'd say about 10%) are still working in the industry, most of them turned to other graphic jobs (such as webdesign) or went to a totaly different industry...

Anyway, this report really made my day, CHAMPAGNE for tonight ! ;)Dimitrihttp://email@example.com

"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community...Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own." -- Cesar Chavez
These words sit at the heart of my father's tireless efforts to advocate for change. He believed that protection from the hazards of pesticides; fair wages and improved working conditions were not achievable if not founded upon an improvement in the overall well-being of the community.
This meant finding ways to provide safe housing, education and other services that would bolster individual and family well-being. Thus, improving the progress and prosperity of the whole and empowering them for the road ahead.
The Cesar Chavez Day of Service and Learning, observed on or near March 31st, my father's birth date, is an opportunity for communities around the country to learn about the values that my father epitomized and a chance to take action to serve.
The Cesar Chavez Foundation's (CCF) own National Chavez Center, located in Keene, California, will be staging a restoration and clean-up activity of the Center's grounds March 28, 2012. Through the support of a grant provided by the Corporation for National and Community Service, several CCF community partners have been able to build out service activities for Chavez Day that were originally initiated on the National Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
One such organization, the Center for Music National Service, a San Francisco-based non-profit that focuses on providing youth the opportunity to play music and/or refurbish school music rooms. This kind of sustained activity is truly a testament to the philosophies and legacies of both of these servant leaders.
Beyond the day of service, the Cesar Chavez Foundation (CCF) continues my father's legacy through many year-round efforts to enrich and improve the lives of farm worker and Latino families by meeting their essential human, cultural, and community needs. To date, CCF and partners have achieved the following:
My father once expressed the sentiment that "our lives are all that really belong to us" and therefore it is how they are used that determine what kind of individuals we are. At CCF, it is our belief that the actions of the many people participating in service on behalf of community also determine what kind of society we are and hope to become.
For more information about activities commemorating the Cesar Chavez Day of Service, visit the CCF website. A model curriculum, produced in conjunction with the California Department of Education, that focuses on the life of Cesar Chavez and on service-learning is also available for educators.
Paul F. Chavez is the President of the Cesar Chavez Foundation, and Cesar Chavez's son.

10 Thought Patterns that Keep You from Happiness
We tend to view our minds as our whole being. But through meditation we learn to watch our thoughts, almost like leaves floating by on a river. You can't watch yourself, so that must mean that your thoughts aren't all of you, but rather, a part of who you are. Even still, our thoughts undoubtedly shape our mental state.
Another side effect of watching your thoughts through meditation is the realization that your thoughts are cyclical, meaning the same thought patterns run in and out of your mind multiple times on a daily basis. As a result, negative thought patterns become the root of unhappiness.
What's your attitude toward life and is it holding you back from finding peace and happiness on a daily basis? Here are 10 thought patterns that may do just that.
1. Obsessed with Perfection
Are you obsessed with perfection? If you're constantly thinking that everything around you needs to be improved, then you're likely never satisfied with what you have. Sometimes good enough is just fine, and it's our ability to see this that brings us happiness.
2. Comparison Thinking
"Why am I not married?" "Why don't I have children?" "Why don't I make as much money as so-and-so?" These are examples of comparing yourself to those around you–a toxic thought pattern that will almost always bring you down.
3. Polarized Thinking
Looking at issues and opinions as black or white is ineffective because it's largely inaccurate. You'll often find shades of grey hidden between the lines. Try to truly put yourself on the other side of issues and understand where those around you are coming from even when it's not so easy.

13 Ways to Be a Free Spirit
It's not the path of least resistance, in fact, being a free spirit may mean feeling like you don't perfectly fit into the society around. It's the feeling of wanting to get to know life beyond the surface and of truly getting to know yourself.
"We all want to be extraordinary and we all just want to fit in. Unfortunately, extraordinary people rarely fit in." –Sebastyne Young
It may seem irrational to want to live outside the lines, but what's really irrational is living life through its mundane details. While the society around you may seem to reward those that stick to same job, same location, and same set of friends for the entirety of their lives, a free spirit always wonders "is this it?"
If you're looking for a life beyond the details, here's my guide to being a free spirit.

South Africa Grants Approval for the Import of GE Soy Beans
South Africa has granted approval for the import of DOW's genetically engineered soy bean variety (DAS-44406-6). It's genetically engineered to resist the liberal application of glufosinate and glyphosate, main ingredients in various pesticides.
Those critical of the soy bean variety fear an increase in the use of pesticides as a result of its modified resistance. Because the soy beans resist glyphosate, the main ingredient in Round Up, farmers overuse the pesticide, creating dead zones, when all life surrounding the crop are killed off. Today, according to The New York Times, farmers use five times more weed killers on their crops then they did in 1997, and with 94 percent of soybeans and 72 percent of corn being grown this way, herbicide use has exploded.
The massive increase in pesticide use isn't just occurring in the U.S. In Argentina it's increased by 11 fold and in Brazil by 360 percent between 2000 and 2009.
"We condemn the decision by the South African authorities. Once again, economic interests are riding roughshod over our government's stewardship role to protect the health of our citizens and environment. The decision to approve this GE soybean variety is all the more galling in light of a current motion by the African Christian Democratic Party before the South African Parliament, to overturn a previous decision to allow imports of Dow's 2,4-D tolerant GE maize into South Africa." said Mariam Mayet of the African Centre for Biosafety. This GM maize has been dubbed "agent orange" maize by the media, owing to the use of 2,4 D as an ingredient in the infamous chemical, Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War to devastating effects.
Fears of Glyphosate
Studies have shown that glyphosate even in small amounts may cause changes to the body's DNA.
"Any increase in the use of 2,4-D in association with Dow's 2,4-D resistant corn will hit rural communities especially hard, as numerous medical studies have linked 2,4-D and related herbicides to increased rates of cancer and Parkinson's disease as well as low sperm counts in farmers, and to birth anomalies in their children," said Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman, Senior Scientist with Pesticide Action Network North America. "Farmworkers and other rural residents will also be at risk. 2,4-D has been shown to cause liver and nerve damage, as well as hormonal disruption and is classified by the World Health Organisation as possibly carcinogenic," she added.
While the rest of the world is still far behind the 165 million acres of GMO crops in the U.S., it seems crop modification is making its may into agriculture worldwide.

Senate Rejects Provision That Would Strengthen Reporting of Antibiotics in Animals
The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) rejected a provision to the Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA) that would strengthen FDA reporting of antibiotic sales. The provision would verify for the public which antibiotics are sold for use in livestock, how many are used, and how they are being used.
The provision takes significant steps toward getting a hold of the amount of antibiotics used in factory farming. Specifically, the FDA would report on the volume of antimicrobial drugs sold categorized by medical importance, dosage form, and target animals. It would also report on whether providers were complying with FDA Guidance for Industry 209 and 213, or any subsequent guidance, using valid and robust performance metrics.
New FDA Guidance
New FDA Guidance limits medically important antimicrobial drugs to uses in animals that are considered necessary for assuring animal health as well as limiting medically important antimicrobial drugs to uses in animals that include veterinary oversight or consultation.
The FDA hopes that this new rule will help vastly reduce the use of antibiotics and decrease the 99,000 deaths each year from hospital acquired infections that are resistant to antibiotics. Over time, low doses of antibiotics allow for surviving bacteria to form a resistance and while we're not sure about the connection between resistance in animals and in humans, we do know that 80 percent of antibiotics are used in livestock.
Keep Antibiotics Working
While the Senate did not include the provision in ADUFA, the organization Keep Antibiotics Working hopes that they will include it later.
"At a time when Americans increasingly are becoming ill from bacteria that cannot be treated with commonly used antibiotics, we need leadership to protect the public health. Today, the Senate HELP Committee failed that leadership test. The Committee had an opportunity to adopt critical, yet very reasonable, accountability and transparency measures that would strengthen how sales data on antibiotics for food animals are collected and reported to the public. Instead, the Committee sided with industry, keeping the public in the dark and unsure of the extent of routine antibiotic use on farms," said Richard Wood, Chair, Keep Antibiotics Working.
Wood added, "We thank Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) for their leadership on this issue and urge others in Congress to work to curb the routine overuse of antibiotics on farms."

Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Many Others Reject GMO Salmon
Trader Joe's, Aldi, Whole Foods, and Marsh Supermarkets have all signed on with the Campaign For Genetically Engineered Free Salmon. These are just a few of the nearly 2,000 stores likely to join in rejecting Aqua Bounty's genetically engineered salmon.
On the Brink of Passage
The gm salmon is on the brink of passage. The FDA completed its environmental assessment in May of 2012. The assessment sought to clear up fears that the genetically modified salmon could escape, as well as whether interbreeding with wild salmon was a practical concern.
According to the FDA: "The likelihood of escape is extremely small due to the multiple containment measures at the sites of egg production and grow-out." And even if they did escape, the agency claimed survival was unlikely, and additionally, interbreeding would be impossible.
In an effort to avoid fear from consumers, retailers are rejecting the gm salmon before it even hits the shelves. The genetically modified salmon is engineered with extra genes from two species of fish which make it grow two times faster than traditional wild salmon and non-genetically modified farm-raised salmon.
Unlabeled Goods
But the fear isn't just that the salmon will exist, but rather, that it will remain unlabeled. Unsuspecting consumers may purchase Aqua Bounty having no idea that it's genetically engineered. Advocacy groups welcomed the move by retailers.
"We applaud these retailers for listening to the vast majority of their customers who want sustainable, natural seafood for their families. Now it's time for other food retailers, including Walmart, Costco, and Safeway to follow suit and let their customers know they will not be selling unlabeled, poorly studied genetically engineered seafood," said Eric Hoffman, food and technology policy campaigner with Friends of the Earth.
"Consumers Union has serious concerns about the safety of the first genetically engineered fish, a salmon engineered to grow to maturity twice as fast as wild salmon," said Michael Hansen, PhD, senior scientist with Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports. "FDA decided based on data from just six fish that there was no increased risk to people with fish allergies. However, even these meager data suggest that these fish show increased allergic potential."
Though it's unclear whether it's a reaction to the public's apparent disdain for the so-called Frankenfish or not, the FDA has extended the public period of comment which was set to end in February until April.

Getting set for the week.
We were slow to get the week started around here–it was an eventful week/weekend. One of my oldest friends came through town last week leaving this delicious zucchini bread shown above. Paired with an ample dollop of Earth Balance spread and a cup of black tea, it was an irresistible breakfast.
Earth Balance is vegan, made without artificial ingredients or hydrogenated oils, free of gluten, lactose, and eggs. It's also Non-GMO Project certified. I use it instead of butter when I can, especially if there's no local, organic butter on hand.
I'm also a fan of black tea, which helped me to wake up this morning. As you can see, Madison wasn't having it. A study done at Rutgers showed that black tea may help prevent stomach, breast, and prostate cancer. A study in the Netherlands showed that drinking black tea daily decreased by 50 percent your chances of dying from heart disease. It also prevents tooth decay. And it looks more like coffee, which for some reason, appeals to me.
Bella guarded the basil as I planned ahead for the week to come. I made a curried butternut squash bisque (I'll publish pictures of it later this week) and a simple cold sesame noodle salad with mustard green shavings. Hopefully this will last the husband and I a few days, so I can get ahead on my work and avoid take out all at the same time.
Cold Sesame Noodle Salad with Mustard Green Shavings
1 package soba noodles
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp organic peanut butter
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp hot sauce (add more if you like)
1 tsp cold pressed sesame oil
2 cloves minced garlic
The juice of 1/2 lime
2 large leaves minced mustard greens
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1. Cook noodles as per directions.
2. While you're cooking the noodles, whisk oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and lime together.
3. Dress noodles and top with greens and sesame seeds–toss well. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
4. When serving, drizzle with sesame oil and a squeeze of lime.
Breakfast of champions.
I get asked all the time what I eat for breakfast and to be honest it changes. But I am rather picky about my morning intake because it's the way I start the day. Start with junk and the day is likely to move in the wrong direction.
I'm a big fan of Earth Balance crunchy peanut butter with banana slices, raw honey, and sprouted grain bread, which of course gets shared with Madison and Bella. Bananas are undoubtedly their favorite.

Job Ad of the Day: Las Vegas Review-Journal Crime Reporter
The subject line – "The Best Crime Beat Ever" – is a bit of a stretch, because it suggests that we're not just talking present tense but reaching all the way back to Jack the Ripper newspaper days. However, the body text more than makes up for it.
From today's announcement that Las Vegas Review-Journal deputy editor James G. Wright is on the hunt for a new "Dashiell Hammett on deadline:"
An aggressive mug who can think at a dead run in a 24-hour news town where maybe you're coaxing quotes from the neighbors at a triple murder and next thing you know you're chasing after Paris Hilton in handcuffs. A pushy sort who can turn cab drivers and waitresses into sources, and persuade tough cops to spill.

Is it leaking on the ground? If not then it may be going into the cooler system.( the trans fluid circulates through a special part of the radiator and uses the coolant cool the trans fluid). You might want to check the color of your antifreeze. Make sure that it is not getting colored by trans fluid.
Regardless of what year or even if it is an Explorer, it still cool the Transmission in essentially the same way, and still uses some type of cooler. So, if the trans fluid is going away and there are no spots on the ground, then be sure to check for any discoloration in your coolant, as evidence that the trans fluid is going in to your coolant.

The Viable but Nonculturable State in Bacteria
James D. Oliver
Department of Biology, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223-0001, USA
Journal of Microbiology, 43(1),93-100, 2005, Feb
Key Words
viability, culturability, virulence, resuscitation, survival
It had long been assumed that a bacterial cell was dead when it was no longer able to grow on routine culture media. We now know that this assumption is simplistic, and that there are many situations where a cell loses culturability but remains viable and potentially able to regrow. This mini-review defines what the "viable but nonculturable" (VBNC) state is, and illustrates the methods that can be used to show that a bacterial cell is in this physiological state. The diverse environmental factors which induce this state, and the variety of bacteria which have been shown to enter into the VBNC state, are listed. In recent years, a great amount of research has revealed what occurs in cells as they enter and exist in this state, and these studies are also detailed. The ability of cells to resuscitate from the VBNC state and return to an actively metabolizing and culturable form is described, as well as the ability of these cells to retain virulence. Finally, the question of why cells become nonculturable is addressed. It is hoped that this mini-review will encourage researchers to consider this survival state in their studies as an alternative to the conclusion that a lack of culturability indicates the cells they are examining are dead.

WASHINGTON, March 17, 2013 – As many of us try to jam into teeming Irish pubs today, we're tempted to remember the timeless comment of that quintessential Irishman Yogi Berra who said, "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." But drinking isn't the only thing to remember on St. Paddy's Day, even if the thirst is upon you.
Irish men and women have come to international prominence in recent history particularly on stage and on the silver screen. And indeed, given the considerable skill of the Irish when expressing themselves in poetry, song, drama, and storytelling, it's not surprising at all that so many of those who are either native Irish or of Irish descent have made names for themselves in Hollywood over the last century or so.
Here's our 2013 list of the individuals we currently regard as the most notable movie actors and actresses who hail more or less directly from the Emerald Isle. If it skews a bit contemporary, that's largely due to the current flood of Irish talent that's been currently taking Tinseltown by storm. On the other hand, we dropped the hapless Colin Farrell off our position #10 this year. His replacement this year is a better, more consistent historical choice.
Our list is subjective, of course. There are lots more Irish movie and stage thespians who've graced our stages and movie theaters over the last century, many of them actually Americans whose ancestors had emigrated to these shores in search of a better life.
But in any event, let's try these top ten on for size. And a hearty "Slainté" to you all.
SEE RELATED: Top 10 St. Patrick's Day Irish toasts for 2013
10. Bing Crosby. (1903-1977) We dumped current generation actor Colin Farrell from this slot due to his continuing lack of traction, with his latest Hollywood failure being the très lame "Total Recall" that was supposedly going to one-up the original classic sci-fi thriller starring the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
While wishing him luck in his next career, we're replacing him with an old favorite of ourse, the more timeless Old Groaner, aka Bing Crosby. While perhaps better known as a vocalist, Bing displayed his acting chops in a great number of films ranging from the sentimental "Going My Way," to jazzy movie musicals like "Holiday Inn," and even to a classic Western like the original "Stagecoach." He was also popular in the string of hit comedy "Road" films (like "Road to Utopia") where he co-starred with longtime comic sidekick Bob Hope and, of course, the lovely Dorothy Lamour (gotta love that name). He later became an important early TV personality.
While Crosby didn't originate in the Oulde Sod, growing up in Tacoma, Washington, his family, he was nonetheless Irish to a fare-thee-well. We'd place him higher on our list, but his film fame seems to have drifted a bit in recent years, damaged further some time ago by a poison pen biography written by one of his sons who had an axe to grind. A point in his comeback favor: he was educated by Jesuits in both high school and college, the same order joined by our new Jesuit Pope Francis, so this should score the Bingmeister a plenary indulgence not only in Heaven but on any Top Ten list.
9. Una O'Connor. (1880-1959). Una who, you say? Born Agnes Teresa McGlade in Belfast, young Una—her eventual stage name—became a stage actress in Ireland and England, but scored her first signal success in late middle age in a 1933 Noel Coward play entitled Cavalcade. When Hollywood decided to film the play, Ms. O'Connor was invited there to reprise her role. She never went back to Ireland.
She was soon noticed by famed horror film director James Whale, the man who actually helped make her famous by casting her in his film version of "The Invisible Man," starring Claude Rains. Ms. O'Connor performed in a supporting role, appearing as the publican's wife, who memorably screams in terror as the Invisible Man, is, well, revealed to her. But the actress' terror seizures proved to be so over-the-top funny that she ended up reprising similar roles in other horror and thriller classics, including her role as the Baron's housekeeper in Whale's 1935 "Bride of Frankenstein."
But she occasionally played serious roles as well in films ranging from "The Informer" (1935). Her last memorable role was her comic appearance in Billy Wilder's otherwise serious film version of Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957).
8. Aidan Quinn. (b. 1959). Born to Irish émigré parents in Chicago, Mr. Quinn has appeared in numerous big budget films including "Desperately Seeking Susan," "Benny and Joon," "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein," and "Michael Collins" in which he co-starred with Liam Neeson. His roles tend to be significant yet frequently low key. Our personal favorite is his role as Brad Pitt's conflicted older brother in "Legends of the Fall" (1994).
His career seemed to fade somewhat after that 1994 classic. But now you can see him on TV every week as a the beleaguered New York police chief who deals with the manic, updated Sherlock Holmes in the hit show "Elementary" along with Jonny Lee Miller (Sherlock) and the luscious Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, the world's first female incarnation of that role.
7. Pierce Brosnan. (b. 1953). Hailing from County Louth in the center of the Irish Republic, Mr. Brosnan had a difficult childhood as his father left the family and his mother was forced to emigrate to England to earn a living while young Pierce was left with his grandparents.
He originally aspired to be an artist, but eventually found his way into acting. He first discovered fame in the U.S. in the oddball detective hit Remington Steele (1982-1987) in which he played the quirky title character. During the show's run, he was approached to portray James Bond, replacing the aging Roger Moore, but he had to decline due to a TV contract renewing his character of "Remington Steele," and the role went to Timothy Dalton.
When Dalton's serious take on Bond proved increasingly unpopular with audiences, Mr. Brosnan got his second chance and was signed to portray 007 in 1994. He appeared in four Bond films, all of them popular, before the role was given to Daniel Craig in 2005 under somewhat murky circumstances. Mr. Brosnan continued to appear in many films, probably the most popular of which was his 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair."
6. Liam Neeson. (b. 1952). Mr. Neeson probably needs little introduction to contemporary filmgoers. Born in County Antrim in current Northern Ireland, he became an amateur boxing champion in addition to finding himself attracted to stage acting.
After winning small but significant parts in various films, he moved to Hollywood in 1987 and eventually won the starring role in the strange but notable action-horror flick "Darkman" (1990). But his fame began in earnest when he starred in the title role in "Schindler's List." In a significant role shift, he portrayed Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in the initial revival episode of the Star Wars franchise ("Phantom Menace") in 1999.
He's appeared in a significant number of film roles since, including a few good films but also a few action potboilers. Married to English actress Natasha Richardson in 1994, he suffered a major personal tragedy when she was killed in a ski accident in Canada in 2009. More recently, even as he enters late middle age, he's morphed into a surprisingly successful action-film star, particularly in the popular initial film in the current "Taken" franchise. Mr. Neeson is now an American citizen.
5. Barry Fitzgerald. (1888-1961). Born William Joseph Shield in Dublin, Mr. Fitzgerald started out as a civil servant but soon began to appear onstage in Dublin's famous Abbey Theatre, which we've had the pleasure of visiting many times, BTW. He was for a time the roommate of famed playwright Sean O'Casey, and began to make appearances in his roomie's famous plays like Juno and the Paycock.
Eventually taking up residence in Hollywood, he was much in demand, becoming the go-to actor to portray witty, humorous, or simply very Irish roles in a slew of popular movies. Perhaps his most famous roles were his appearance as a genial Irish priest alongside Bing Crosby's younger cleric in "Going My Way (1944) (see above) and his humorous supporting role in the John Wayne-Maureen O'Hara Irish-based classic "The Quiet Man" (1952).
4. Maureen O'Hara. (b. 1920). Hailing from the environs of Dublin, this stunning, popular redheaded actress was originally known as Maureen FitzSimons before adopting her stage name. Trained in theater in Dublin, she attracted the attention of English actors and filmmakers, including Charles Laughton who eventually helped her land the role of the gypsy girl Esmeralda in his classic starring vehicle, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in 1939. The film was a tremendous popular and critical success and her career was launched in earnest.
She continued to appear in classic films such as "The Black Swan" (1942); "Sentimental Journey" (1946); "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947); that popular John Wayne classic "The Quiet Man" (1952); and many others. She effectively retired in the early 1970s, but returned to acting in 1991 to star with the late comedian John Candy in "Only the Lonely." She became an American citizen in 1946, but has returned to Ireland where she currently resides in County Cork on the Irish southwest coast.
3. Richard Harris. (1930-2002). Hailing from the gritty Western Irish city of Limerick, Mr. Harris is famed for his countless and often offbeat films. As a young man, he was an up-and-coming rugby star but was forced to abandon that pursuit after enduring a bout of tuberculosis. Relocating to England after WWII, he dabbled in directing plays while studying to be an actor, but lived many years in poverty as he studied his craft.
He spent time onstage in England and even appeared in small parts in Hollywood films in the late 1950s and early 1960s but didn't much like his Tinseltown experiences and quarreled with well-known stars like Marlon Brando and Charleton Heston. But he gradually managed to reconcile himself with movie acting, appearing as King Arthur in the film version of the musical "Camelot" (1967); as a British adventurer in "A Man Called Horse" (1970); the uniquely quirky role of English Bob in the Clint Eastwood classic, "Unforgiven" (1992); and the small but significant role of the dying philosopher/emperor Marcus Aurelius in "Gladiator" (2000).
But perhaps his crowning achievement occurred at the end of his career when he appeared as the crafty old wizard and headmaster Albus Dumbledore in the first two installments of the "Harry Potter" Series. He died of cancer just prior to the opening of the second Potter film.
2. Kenneth Branagh. (b. 1961). Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mr. Branagh is as well-known as an actor as he is a director. His main claim to fame has been his highly cinematic directing and starring roles in film versions of Shakespeare's classic plays which have garnered him Academy Award nominations. Most recently, he served as director for the Marvel Comics-based superhero hit, "Thor" (2011). He's also become well-known as a TV actor for his brilliant portrayal of the somewhat existential Swedish detective Kurt Wallander in the English-language Wallander television series, which is built on adaptations of author Henning Mankell's best-selling Wallander crime novels. Branagh also serves as executive producer of this gritty series.
1. Peter O'Toole. (b. 1932). Although he's clearly of Irish descent, Peter O'Toole to this day is not certain whether he was born in County Galway, Ireland, or in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. He has birth certificates from both counties! In any event, he was raised as a Catholic in England. He started his career as a would-be photojournalist, but eventually received stage training in England after being rejected for a training program at Ireland's famed Abbey Theatre.
Mr. O'Toole began to appear in stage and TV roles in London when he was noticed by David Lean who was looking to cast the lead in "Lawrence of Arabia," after he was unable to obtain either Marlon Brando or Albert Finney to play this significant role. Casting Mr. O'Toole, a virtual unknown, in the title role of this epic film proved a fantastically prescient bet for both Mr. Lean and Mr. O'Toole. The sweep and the scope of this film, which also starred dashing Egyptian actor Omar Shariff, transformed it into a Hollywood blockbuster while simultaneously making the photogenic Mr. O'Toole a Hollywood icon. (The film was recently restored to its original splendor and is now available via DVD.)
Due to ongoing bouts with the bottle, Mr. O'Toole's career didn't always follow a predictable trajectory over the years. But he continued to land hugely significant roles, including repeat performances as English King Henry II in two different classics, "Beckett" with Richard Burton (1964) and "Lion in Winter" with Katherine Hepburn (1968). In a seeming parody of his own career, but more particularly that of the swashbuckling and equally alcohol-besotted Errol Flynn, Mr. O'Toole scored a comedic coup for his role as a Hollywood has-been in "My Favorite Year" (1982). He has continued to appear from time to time in a number of costume dramas. He currently lives in the very small town of Clifden in a rocky, remote part of County Galway.

Find and add national holidays to your Google calendar
I don't think I would make it in life anymore without my Google calendars. Having my appointments and date-based reminders in Google's system makes sure I can access them wherever I am, and with whatever device I have at hand: iPhone, iPad, MacBook, someone else's computer.
Today I went looking to see if this coming Monday is Memorial Day, because as an online writer, I totally forget those sorts of things, along with info like, "what day is it," and "did I wear pants yet?"
Regardless, I went searching and realized my calendar did not have major US holidays on it. Here's how I fixed that oversight.

A tale of two cities and Dover's fight for fairness
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
In January, Dover was recognized as one of the 100 best communities for young people for the second year in a row. America's Promise Alliance gives these awards "to communities that perform outstanding and innovative work to improve the lives of children." Jordan LaPier of America's Promise Alliance stated the following:
As the Dover community celebrates this accomplishment, the disturbing irony is that the City of Dover ranks in the bottom 2% of communities in our state for funding student education.■ Dover students receive the 3rd lowest per pupil spending in the State of NH, only Franklin and Hudson spend less on their children.■ 50.67% of the Dover tax dollars are channeled toward our children's education, compared to the State average of 64.93% — placing Dover in the bottom 11% in tax dollar allocation for education.■ Of the 46 largest communities in NH (1,000+ students), only 4 spend less tax dollars on education.
— Culinary Aide at DHS/CTC
Despite the challenges facing our schools, we remain positive about our children's future. Despite ranking in the 11th percentile in percentage of tax dollars going to education, and despite ranking in the bottom 2% for per pupil spending, Dover 4th and 5th graders score 77% or better in combined Math, English, and Reading proficiency, and we continue to send our students to Ivy League Colleges.

* Review Dr. Ting's 717+ Q&A on RealSelf
The most important goal of any acne treatment is prevention of scarring. Acne scarring arises from skin textural changes (e.g. divots, ice-pick scars, boxcar scars) as well as pigmentary changes (e.g. redness or hyperpigmentation). To prevent skin textural scarring, it is critical to prevent and avoid manipulation of inflammatory acne lesions, namely cysts and nodules which are often tender to touch. Dr. Ting's goal is to keep your complexion clear with the least amount of oral systemic medication whenever possible. However, in many cases, topical medications alone may not be sufficient to control inflammatory lesions. For more resistant and inflammatory acne, Dr. Ting may utilize oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, minocycline, or trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole to achieve maximal anti-inflammatory effects and/or hormonal medications such as birth-control pills or spironolactone to minimize hormonal trigger. Symptomatic and tender cysts may be treated with intralesional steroid injection. For patients who failed conventional topical and oral acne therapy, Dr. Ting may recommend photodynamic therapy or isotretinoin (Accutane) as a last resort.
Dr. Ting will customize a skin care routine for you depending on your complexion (oily vs. dry, fair skin vs. ethnic skin) with a combination of prescription topical medications, vitamin C/glycolic acid facial pads, medicated cleanser, oil-free sunscreen, fading creams and/or medical acne extraction. Your personalized skin care routine supervised by Dr. Ting will facilitate a more even skin tone, mitigate enlarged pore sizes, and achieve a smoother skin texure. Medical aesthetician is available for make up consultation, acne facials and/or microdermabrasion to achieve best clinical and cosmetic outcome.
Once your acne is in remission, Dr. Ting will review all options to improve remaining acne scarring. Intralesional steroid injection of hypertrophic scars may be performed if warranted. Potent and gentle bleaching creams (with or without hydroquinone) are available to fade pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Acne
I have ethnic skin, what are my laser options for acne scar revision and acne pigment reduction without downtime?
Spectra Laser and Cutera GenesisPlus are next generation Nd:Yag lasers that has been clinically proven to reduce acne inflammation (thereby minimizing the need for oral medication), shrink pore sizes, and achieve scar revision by stimulating collagen remodeling without any associated down time. Both lasers are safe, effective and without downtime for both fair-skin and ethnic skin individuals without any season restriction. Dr. Ting is the first dermatologist in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California to offer these revolutionary laser treatments for acne and acne scarring for all skin types.
I have fair skin, what is my laser option for reduction of red acne scar and scar revision without downtime?
VBeam Perfect pulse dye laser is your best option in reducing red acne scar by targeting red blood cells and stimulate scar remodeling and collagen production. There should not be any downtime associated with VBeam Perfecta. Cutera GenesisPlus laser is a fine option as well to reduce both red and pigmented acne scarring in addition to pore size reduction, scar remodeling and collagen production.
I have enlarged pores, what are my options for pores size reduction?
Topical retinoids (such as tretinoin, adapalene or tazoratene) is traditionally recommended to apply on the skin to prevent pore size enlargement. However, not everyone can tolerate application of topical retinoids on a regular basis. While GenesisPlus can be helpful, Spectra Laser peel arguably is the most potent laser to achieve pore size reduction. Spectra Laser peel involves application of lipophilic carbon lotion, which guides the q-switched Nd:Yag laser to target hair follicles and thereby effectively shrink pore size over series of 3 to 5 monthly treatments.
How does photodynamic therapy (PDT) work for acne?
PDT works through photochemical reaction between Levulan or Metvyxia (naturally-occurring break down compound of red blood cell) and a blue light source (~410nm wavelength) or a red light source (600-700nm) which (1) eradicates p. acnes bacteria which are responsible for triggering inflammation around hair follicles and (2) reduces activities of the oil glands thereby minimizing oily complexion. Dr. Ting has treated more than 2,000 patients with photodynamic therapy (PDT) for acne and other indications for the past few years. PDT has become a great alternative for patients who wants to augment their conventional therapies of oral antibiotics and topical medicated creams and to avoid Accutane. Dr. Ting has the experience to precisely prescribe the appropriate mix of incubation time (duration of Levulan or Metvyxia application on face) and exposure time (duration of a blue/red light source exposure) to maximize the clinical results and minimize discomfort.
Does diet matter?
Maybe. There are recent medical literature that suggests non-organic dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurts, and ice cream may exacerbate acne. Nowadays, many milk cows are given shots of growth hormones and it is thought that subsequent absorption of these growth hormones via consumption of non-organic dairy products may trigger excessive sebaceous gland activities on the skin. Also, there is evidence that diets high in glycemic content, e.g. candy bars and some soft drinks, may predispose one to have more acne lesions. In short, try to consume only organic dairy products and avoid food items that are rich in sugar content. Most recently, a publication out of Journal of American Academy of Dermatology confirmed a dose-response correlation between chocolate intake and severity of acne activities.
Does oral antibiotics make oral contraceptive pills (OCP) less effective?
There is a common misconception that oral antibiotics make OCPs less efficacious in preventing pregnancy. In general, the failure rate of OCPs is in excessive of 1%. The best clinical studies have not demonstrated significant impact made by oral antibiotics to the effectiveness of OCPs. If it is critical that pregnancy be prevented while taking both OCP and oral antibiotics, Dr. Ting suggests that you should use a backup method for contraception such as male latex condom.
How important is face wash for acne?
Cleaning one's face is an important part of the acne skin care routine, particularly at the end of the day to remove dirt, perspiration, skin debris, and makeup (if applicable). Dr. Ting will recommend a specific face wash depending on your skin type (oily vs. dry, redness vs. pigmented). Most of us spend no more than 2 seconds washing our face. Therefore, utilizing Clarisonic brush as part of your skin cleansing routine can be quite helpful which forces you to wash your entire face and clean the pores for 60 seconds via ultrasonic vibration.
What to do with acne in the setting of sensitive/dry skin?
Dr. Ting will customize a skin care routine which incorporates gentle face wash and minimally irritating topical acne prescription medications. Most over-the-counter moisturizers may be too greasy for acne-prone skin. Therefore, Dr. Ting recommends application of Dermesis toner/cream (derived from research done at a UCSF lab) which facilitates skin barrier repair by replenishing calcium ions externally.
What to do for women who experience hormonal trigger of acne?
Hormonal influence of acne in women is strongly suggested by the presence of inflammatory acne lesions in the perioral and jawline regions of the face. In fact, many women report premenstrual flare of acne. Two of the most efficacious adjunctive OCP therapy for acne are Yasmin and Yaz. Both medications contain drosperidone which is an anti-androgen and can mitigate hormonal trigger of acne for women. As an alternative, spironolactone may be considered as it is a potent anti-androgen medication and can effectively mitigate hormonal influence in acne for women. While on spironolactone, Yasmin or Yaz, one should avoid diets high in potassium content (e.g. banana, kiwi fruits, avocado, sports drink such as Gatorade or Propel) to minimize symptoms of hyperkalemia which may be manifested by muscle cramps, tingling sensation or even heart palpitation). Higher doses of spironolactone may infrequently lead to menstrual irregularity and/or breast tenderness, both of which will resolve once spironolactone is discontinued. Spironolactone is compatible with most oral contraceptives and when taken concurrently, there will be less risk of irregular menstrual cycle.
