3D HD mobile displays are coming, Hitachi one-ups CMI with a novel layer that preserves brightness
Two companies announced 720p HD displays recently - Hitachi and Chimei Innolux (CMI). The CMI 4.3-incher sports 720x1280 pixels, but uses US's MasterImage 3D Cell-Matrix parallax barrier overlay to achieve glasses-free 3D experience. The main downside of this technology is that it reduces brightness when viewing 3D images, so you using it outside becomes a challenge.
an affordable 4.5" HD LCD display, it now gives it a new 3D layer type, comprising of liquid crystal lenses, instead of the slits on parallax barrier 3D screens.
Those lenses focus the light and alter its pathway to send different images to each eye, thus mimicking image depth without reducing brightness. In fact, brightness while displaying 3D imagery is cited as 470 nits, whereas it is 400 nits in a regular 2D mode.
|LCD panel size
|4.5-inch (11cm diagonal)
|Display size
|Brightness (2D)
|400 cd/m2
|Brightness (3D)
|470 cd/m2
That's certainly something to get behind on for future 3D-enabled handsets. All that's left now is for manufacturers to get rid of the bezel and use buttonless frontal designs for true geek happiness.

So... this creates 720p using the RGB matrix, and has 3D capabilities to top it off?
Did the Super amoled+ just get overtaken? ._.

Chinese-American woman topic of talk1st female American-born Chinese doctor lived locally
Posted: Thursday, January 16, 2014 11:56 am PST
"Doctor Mom Chung of the Fair-Haired Bastards: The Life of a Wartime Celebrity" focuses on the first-known American-born woman of Chinese descent to obtain a medical degree in the United States.
(THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Jan. 16, 2014) The first American-born Chinese female physician and changing U.S. social norms of race, gender and sexuality will be the subject of a free lecture at California Lutheran University in February.
The Artists and Speakers Series will present Judy Tzu-Chun Wu in a presentation titled "Doctor Mom Chung of the Fair-Haired Bastards: Strategic Transgression and Normativity in Asian-American History" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, in the Lundring Events Center.
Wu is an associate professor at Ohio State University where she holds a joint appointment with the department of women's, gender, and sexuality studies and coordinates the Asian American Studies Program and the Diversity and Identity Studies Collective.
Her first book, "Doctor Mom Chung of the Fair-Haired Bastards: The Life of a Wartime Celebrity," focuses on the first-known American-born woman of Chinese descent to obtain a medical degree in the United States. "Mom Chung" graduated from the University of Southern California's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1916, a time when Chinese in California lived in a climate of widespread discrimination.
Margaret Chung was born in 1889 in Santa Barbara, the eldest of 11 children. Her parents became invalids when she was very young, and she was forced to support the family by the age of 10. She first drove a horse-drawn freight wagon and then, as a seventh-grader, worked 12-hour days in a Chinese restaurant. The family moved to Ventura, and then to Los Angeles. She put herself through college and medical school by winning scholarships, selling medical supplies and lecturing on China. Dr. Chung went on to provide medical care for American GIs during World War II and "adopted" more than 1,000 "fair-haired bastards," as she called her American GI sons. She died in 1959.
Wu's second book, "Radicals on the Road: Internationalism, Orientalism, and Feminism during the Vietnam Era," was published last year. She is currently collaborating on a political biography of Rep. Patsy Takemoto Mink, co-sponsor of Title IX legislation and the first woman of color elected to Congress.
Lundring Events Center is located in the Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center at 130 Overton Court on the Thousand Oaks campus.
CLU's history department, Alpha Xi Psi chapter of Phi Alpha Theta history honor society, Artists and Speakers Committee, Asian studies minor program, Center for Equality and Justice and President's Diversity Council are sponsoring the event.

Heston Blumenthal
Sunday, September 14 11:15AM—12:15PMKeynote: Eating is a Multi-Sensory Experience Main Stage Presentation
BiographyHeston Blumenthal is a name recognized around the world as one of the driving forces in the avant garde food movement. From the humble kitchen of The Fat Duck in Bray, England, Blumenthal turns out dishes like bacon-egg ice cream and seafood served with iPods playing the sounds of the sea, and in doing so, routinely toys with our conceptions of flavors, dining, and cuisine. His pursuits have led him to work with food historians, perfumists, food physiologists, and biochemists from all over the world; he is, one could say, a bit of a food renaissance man.
Born in London in 1966, Blumenthal spent his childhood years in Berkshire, England, where he still lives with his wife and three children. At age 16, he had a transforming experience when visiting the restaurant L'Oustau de Baumaniere, located in a small village in Provence; once exposed to the wonderful world of gastronomy, Blumenthal was immediately consumed by it.
Upon his return to the UK, Blumenthal sought work in London kitchens, but at 16 was considered too young. Undeterred, he spent the next decade teaching himself the rudiments of French cuisine, and working odd jobs to fund trips to France to visit restaurants, vineyards, cheese makers, butchers, and artisanal product producers. His research was extensive, thorough, and determined; it culminated, in 1995, in the opening of his first restaurant, The Fat Duck. Nine years later the restaurant gained 3 Michelin stars, and in the year of its 10th anniversary was named "The Best Restaurant in the World" at Restaurant Magazine's "50 Best Restaurants in the World" Awards (and it remains on the list, vying with el Bulli for #1, to this day).
One of the books Blumenthal read during the early days at The Fat Duck was On Food and Cooking; the theories put forth by McGee prompted Blumenthal to embark on a sensory journey to explore the science of food and the impact of smell and taste on the palate, memory, and emotional wellbeing.
His pursuits are documented in his weekly columns for The Sunday Times, his television program "In Search of Perfection," and his cookbooks, including In Search of Perfection and Further Adventures in Search of Perfection. One of his greatest adventures yet (besides being knighted by HM The Queen for his contributions to British gastronomy) is the soon-to-be-released The Big Fat Duck Cookbook, which will be the first that comprehensively chronicles the restaurant's dishes and techniques.

• 200 grams oyster juice (from above)
• 30 grams shiro shoyu (white soy sauce)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sea Urchins:
• 8 live sea urchins*
*These need to be prepared as near as possible to serving in order to maximize their fragrant floral character.
To Assemble and Serve (per portion):
• 10 grams "Sand" (from above)
• 1 level teaspoon fried shirasu (from above)
• 1 "Seashell" (from above)
• Ponzu (from above)
• 2 grams fresh Codium seaweed, washed in several changes of cold water and separated into pluches
• 2 grams hijiki seaweed (from above)
• 2 grams dulse seaweed (from above)
• Razor clams, thinly sliced (from above)
• 1 oyster (from above)
• Sea urchin 'tongues' (from above)
• Final sauce, at room temperature (from above)
• 10 grams soya lecithin
• 10 grams sodium caseinate
• Trimmed sea beans (a.k.a. samphire), approximately 3-cm x 5-cm pieces
For the Ponzu:
Pour sake into a pan, bring to a boil over high heat and ignite to flame off alcohol. When the flames have died down, remove from heat and set aside to cool. Wash yuzu and sudachi, cut in half, and juice, straining out any seeds. Discard any seeds from citrus halves, then cut halves into quarters. Put in a large container along with juice and remaining ingredients, and seal with an airtight cover. Refrigerate for 1 month. Strain liquid through damp muslin and adjust seasoning by adding tamari, soy sauce, or vinegar if necessary. Store in refrigerator.
For the Miso Oil:
Fold all ingredients together very carefully, then cover and refrigerate for 48 hours. Gently strain through damp muslin to separate top layer of oil from heavier miso below, and reserve the oil.
For the Pickled Dulse Seaweed:
Place all ingredients, except seaweed, in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Add dulse to cooled liquid, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
For the "Sand:"
Put grapeseed oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat until hot. Add shirasu and sauté, stirring constantly, until golden brown. (If they are too dark, they will be bitter; too light and they won't be crisp enough. The shirasu will continue to brown after being removed from pan). Strain off oil and drain shirasu on paper towels. Grind kombu to a fine powder, sift it, then weigh out 4 grams. Put 5 grams of fried shirasu in a mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients except miso oil and salt, and combine. Add miso oil, drizzling it in a light stream, and stir to obtain a wet sand consistency. Season with sea salt and store covered until needed.
For the Hijiki Seaweed:
Soak hijiki in warm water until softened (about 5 minutes), then drain off water. Rinse with fresh water and drain again. Season with soy sauce and mirin. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
For the "Seashells:"
Rinse off sawdust that lily bulb is stored in, then pat dry and cut out core. Separate individual layers of bulb. Using a small knife, trim each layer to look like a seashell and store covered in fresh water. Blanch 'seashells' in salted simmering water. As soon as they float to the surface, refresh in iced water, then drain and set aside. (They can become overcooked in a matter of seconds, so act quickly to retain the lightly crunchy texture.)
For the "Sea:"
Put the vegetables, garlic, vermouth and wine in a saucepan and simmer until translucent. Add water if necessary to prevent vegetables from sticking. Add shellfish and cover with water. Bring liquid up to 85°C/185°F, then cover and infuse for 25 minutes at this temperature. Remove from heat and add wakame, kombu, and parsley. Re-cover and allow to cool to room temperature. Skim off any impurities that have risen to surface. Pass stock through a chinois and then through a sieve lined with damp muslin. Cool over an ice bath.
For the Razor Clams:
Wipe kombu using a damp cloth, then place in a pan with water. Heat to 60°C/140°F and hold at that temperature for 1 hour. Remove from heat and add white soy sauce. Set aside until cold. Preheat a water bath to 65°C/149°F. Place razor clams, in their shells, in a single layer in sous vide bags. Add just enough kombu infusion to cover clams, then seal under full pressure. Cook immediately for 4 minutes in water bath. Transfer bags to iced water. When thoroughly chilled, remove clams and discard shells. Cut away entrails and reserve 'tubes' in fridge until needed.
For the Oysters:
Clean outside of oysters with cold water. Using a short, wide-bladed knife, carefully open each oyster, transferring them and their juice to separate containers. Strain juice through a fine-mesh sieve and use this to wash oysters. Put oysters in a clean container, then strain juice once more and add it to container. Cover and keep refrigerated. (Oyster juice will be used again later.)
For the Final Sauce:
Place "Sea," oyster juice, and soy sauce in a saucepan and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary. Refrigerate until needed.
For the Sea Urchins:
Rinse sea urchins under running water to wash away any mud or debris. Use kitchen shears to cut around the top of each urchin to reveal orange 'tongues' inside. With a small spoon, carefully remove these from shell and place on paper towels.
To Assemble and Serve (per portion):
Place the sand on a plate and use a rigid card or spatula to shape it into a vertical strip about 2 cm wide. Sprinkle shirasu on top. Toss seashell in ponzu and place on the sand. Toss Codium seaweed in ponzu and drain on paper towels. Place in a pile by edge of sand. Place separate piles of hijiki and dulse seaweeds on sand in same manner. Drizzle ponzu over seafood pieces, then place on top of each pile of seaweed. Place final sauce in a container, add soya lecithin and sodium caseinate, and foam mixture using a hand-held blender. Spoon around seafood to resemble the ocean crashing on to the beach. Garnish dish with 3 pieces of sea bean and drizzle a bit more ponzu over top. Serve with an iPod playing the sounds of the sea.

MW: Fisher's clutch, Ray's off night, Doc pissed at refs
The Celtics have gotten rid of their morning walkthrough, but that doesn't mean we have to. Here are a few Celtics links, and maybe even an NBA link or two, to help wake you up and get you focused for the day.
Bill Plaschke, LA Times – "Bigger than ever he is, this creaky Lakers leader who has once again saved a game that his longtime running mate and much brighter star named Kobe Bryant could not. Remember when Fisher's two three-pointers stole Game 4 from Orlando last June? This time he was stunning for an entire quarter to steal Game 3 from the Celtics, Fisher's 11 points in the final period leading the Lakers to a 91-84 victory and a two-games-to-one series lead. His coast-to-coast layup, a three-point play because he was fouled, was only his final basket of a period in which he repeatedly held off the surging Celtics amid a blistering roar from TD Garden fans who could not believe this was happening to them. They pull within one point and Fisher fights his way for a layup? They later pull within two points and Fisher bounces off Allen for a jumper? Then he hits another running jumper? Then he fights through Davis and Rondo for a bank shot? Is it any wonder that by the time Fisher grabbed that ball to begin his full-court flush, the Celtics were in such a state of shock, they could only watch him? [...] 'To come through tonight again for this team… after so many great moments, it's always quite surreal and quite humbling to experience it again and do it again,' he said. 'But it's like being a kid, man, you just never get tired of that candy.'"
Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! – "It would start to be a dark night with those Celtics closing tighter and tighter in the fourth quarter, a 17-point lead dissolved to one point before Derek Fisher, oldest Laker, oldest values, understood that one more of these moments had come, one more of these chances, and he didn't dare let go. "To come through again for this team, 14 years in, after so many great moments, it's always surreal … always humbling," Fisher said. Yes, he had that .4 second shot in '04 to beat the Spurs, had those huge shots to beat Orlando in Game 4 a year ago, and on and on down the years. He's 35 years old, and the precious nature of these nights, these moments, suggested to him that maybe one would never present itself again for Fisher. Only it did, and there was Derek Fisher, chugging down the floor, pushing past the years, past the Celtics, and scoring on a breathless end-to-end run to silence the Garden and transform the Celtics into Game 3 losers. 'Five or ten years from now, when I'm long gone, I would have hated to feel like I didn't just do everything I could to help my team, and live with the consequences,' Fisher said. He thinks about those things a lot, every day, and this is why those eyes were filled with tears. Here came the ball again, here came redemption. He made his shots, and that's how a champion frames his forever, how everything else gets scrubbed away and only those telltale minutes, those shots, are remembered. Yes, this made Derek Fisher weep on Tuesday night. He was so grateful, so sure history never forgets a man delivering in these moments."
Bob Ryan, Boston Globe – "The Los Angelers Lakers had a guard close the game last night, but it wasn't the guy you expected. It wasn't Kobe Bryant. It was Derek Fisher, the "other'' guard, the sturdy 35-year-old lefty who invariably plays his best basketball in the months of May and June. He has made much of his reputation on the one or two big end-of-the-game shots, but last night he expanded his domain to include the entire last nine minutes. More than anyone else, he made sure the Lakers would get this sweet bounce-back road victory, a 91-84 triumph that gives them a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. With the Lakers having lost almost all of a onetime 17-point lead, Fisher scored four times in the next five minutes and five times in all, capping his big fourth period with a driving transition layup that hit high on the glass and fell through the hoop for an old-fashioned 3-point play that gave his team an 87-80 lead with 48.3 seconds to go."
Dave McMenamin, ESPN Los Angeles – "But just as Ray Allen played Jekyll and Hyde, going from a Finals-record eight 3-pointers Sunday to an abysmal 0-for-13 in Game 3, so did Bryant suffer his own unfortunate turnaround. His opening, which had been so grand, fell flat down the stretch, as he choked in his familiar closer's role and shot just 1-for-6 from the field in the fourth quarter. Outside of a bounce-back game from Kevin Garnett, Allen got little help on the night. Bryant, on the other hand, was lifted up by a troop of teammates who filled in, acting as the Lakers' bullpen by committee and leading Los Angeles to a 91-84 victory and a 2-1 series lead. While Kobe was clanking, Derek Fisher was connecting, scoring 11 of his 16 points in the final period on 5-of-7 shooting. 'We saw some things we could accomplish by playing a little two-man game between Kobe and myself,' Fisher said. 'When Kobe sets a screen, his man is going to be very reluctant to help off him, so it allows somebody else to get into the interior of their defense, and a couple times I made a pass or two and a few other times I was able to knock down shots.'"
Monique Walker, Boston Globe – "Kobe Bryant is expected to make the game-winning shot or the game-changing play. But last night, he was more than happy to talk about teammate Derek Fisher's late performance that helped the Lakers clinch Game 3 of the NBA Finals at TD Garden. While Fisher may be the positive voice in the locker room, Bryant acknowledged at times he may be more critical. If there is anyone who can pull Bryant aside to serve as his challenger it is Fisher. 'Yeah, he's really the one I listen to,' Bryant said. 'Everybody else is a bunch of young kids. Derek, he and I came in the league together. We spent long nights together as rookies, battling each other, playing full court one-on-one games. You know, we've been through it. So he can come to me and say Kobe, 'You're [screwing] up.' We owe that to each other.'"
Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe – "'Derek had made a number of plays in the fourth quarter,' said Jackson, now two victories shy of his 11th championship. 'He saw the opening and went, and made a very bold play. It was one-on-four. It's imperative that it goes in.' 'I was just trying to advance the ball,' said Fisher. 'I saw [Kevin Garnett] coming up and the angle he took. I knew I could get around him. Once I broke through him, I saw they didn't have anybody at the basket so I just took the direct line.' Fisher made the shot as he was bounced to the floor by Glen 'Big Baby' Davis. 'Derek Fisher was the difference in the game,' said Celtic coach Doc Rivers. 'He won the game for them. I thought we lost our composure. We let Derek Fisher go up the court and get a 3-point play. He's just a gutty, gritty player. Fisher basically took the game over.'"
Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! – "'For me, I always think every one is going in,' Allen would say. Only this time not a single one did. 'I had a good rhythm out there,' he said. Only the ball kept clanking away. The owner of the most honey-sweet shot in the NBA lost it somewhere on the flight from L.A. to Boston. 'I think you guys look at it as a difference in the two nights," Allen said. "I just tip my hat to their defense.' Yes, the Lakers' defense was better. And early on Ron Artest hammered Allen, which may have affected his legs ('Who knows?' Allen said). That wasn't all of it, though. Doc Rivers thought Allen's jumper was 'flat' and noted that most of his shots fell well short of the rim. Allen said at least a few were blocked. Rivers felt Allen was pressing. Ray said he should've found other ways to score. Mostly, no one knew what the heck had happened. Around the locker room the Celtics kept shaking their heads in disbelief. 'Ray went 0-got-13,' a dumbfounded Glen Davis said. 'Who would have ever thought that? We only lost by a couple of points. He hits a couple of shots and we're in the game, we're winning the game.'"
Rich Levine, CSNNE – "As Ray Allen stood before his locker, in the aftermath of Tuesday night's frustrating loss to the Lakers, his voice, attitude and demeanor weren't that different than in the moments after Sunday's inspiring Celtics win. If you were watching from across the room, and couldn't hear exactly what he was saying, you really wouldn't have known if he'd just drained eight three-pointers, or gone 0-8. He spoke clearly and concisely. He was composed and confident. He was just Ray Allen. In a perfect world, there'd have been a better explanation for what happened to him at the Garden in Game 3. Maybe a glitch in his pre-game preparation, a lapse in his focus, a hit to his confidence or some other substantial reason for his near historic NBA Finals 0-fer. But the truth is, those types of excuses don't exist in Allen's world. He's a creature of habit—a man who prepares the same whether it's the third game of the preseason or Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Nothing is ever different. So on occasions like Tuesday night, when Allen went 0-13 from the field—one miss away from tying a Finals record for futility—the future Hall of Famer could only stand before the media, and provide the only explanation possible: For one night, one that happened to coincide with the biggest game of the Celtics season, he simply didn't have it; the Lakers just got the best of him.'
Chris Forsberg, ESPN Boston – "Allen refused to use an injury or ailment as a crutch. He spoke in calm and confident tones after Tuesday's game, as if there's no doubt in his mind he'll correct the issue at Wednesday's practice. 'I've been doing this a long time,' said Allen. 'You prepare your body, you get your rest. You do the things you have to do to be ready for the next game. The preparation is the biggest key, so I'll go back at it that way.' But don't expect Allen to toss up a couple hundred extra trifectas before Wednesday's practice session. The same strategy that failed him Tuesday, made him the hero Sunday. He won't change because of one night. Said Allen: 'I'll just go in there and get my shots up.' After all, there's no doubt in his mind that No. 14 is definitely going to drop."
Mike Bresnahan, LA Times – "Fisher had 11 fourth-quarter points, including the play of the season for the Lakers, taking a defensive rebound, dribbling past a sleepy Celtics defense and getting fouled after making a layup. He made the free throw, giving the Lakers an 87-80 lead with 48.3 seconds to play on their way to their first playoff victory in Boston since Magic Johnson's 'junior skyhook' in 1987. The series was suddenly in the Lakers' control, the play leading to a quick celebration from Bryant, an all-business type these days. There was also an emotional catch in Fisher's voice in a TV interview immediately after the game. Said Fisher, a while later: 'I love what I do and I love helping my team win.' Said Bryant: 'He's been criticized quite a bit for his age. It's a huge thrill for him and for all of us to see him come through in these moments.' Said Celtics Coach Doc Rivers: '[Fisher] won the game for them.' It was the 35-year-old Fisher who brought the Lakers to victory, finishing with 16 points and also holding Allen to two points on 0-for-13 shooting. Allen didn't come close to the 32-point effort he had in Game 2, where he made eight three-pointers. 'The job that Fish did on Allen was terrific tonight,' Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said."
Dan Duggan, Boston Herald – "Derek Fisher came through in the clutch, as he has many times in his career. The 14-year veteran scored 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter to enable the Lakers to hold off repeated runs from the Celtics. 'He's been criticized quite a bit for his age, which is a huge thrill for him and for all of us to see him come through in these moments,' said Kobe Bryant, who had 29 points on 10-of-29 shooting. 'But truthfully, he's done it over and over again so it's almost his responsibility to our team to do these things.' It should be noted that Bryant was more gracious in victory than defeat. He averaged far more than seven words per response, as was the case after the Lakers lost Game 2. Bryant wasn't quite as excited as the LA reporter who began a question with a hearty 'congratulations,' but he wasn't glum either."
Dan Ventura, Boston Herald – "The Celtics starters provided the ideal lift to start the game. The Celtics bench erased the early goodwill with some lackluster play the rest of the first half. As a result of the uneven performance, the Celtics lost Game 3 and the homecourt advantage, 91-84, last night at the Garden. The numbers certainly didn't lie as the bench quartet of Glen Davis, Rasheed Wallace, Nate Robinson and Tony Allen were a combined minus-35, a fact not lost on Davis. 'The first team established the tempo and we didn't apply the pressure,' he said. 'There were a lot of things we didn't do right in the first half. I think we have to be ready to play when we go out there and I blame that on myself. I didn't bring energy, I turned the ball over – if I helped a little more in the first half, we might have done a better job.'"
Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald – "'It happens,' Pierce said. 'We lost a game. We've got to go back to LA. I'm not going to win a game in LA and say we're coming back. I mean, no. That means I'm saying we're going to lose at home. I mean, I'm confident in my ballclub. So if I do say that type of stuff, it's all in good spirits, man. I want to win, just like they want to win. We've got to go back to LA. It is what it is. We've got to just do it the hard way. It's not a problem.' It will be a problem unless Pierce can improve from his 13-for-36 shooting performance in the first three games. 'I'm not really thinking about that,' he said. 'Right now I just want to go out there and help my team win. Regardless of if we all play well or not, we know that we can win a series. We just need to put out the effort and have a couple of guys step up, night in and night out. Because at the end of the day we're a defensive team.'"
Chris Forsberg, ESPN Boston – "'It seemed like when we got to two or three points — with the ball — we'd come down, turn it over, [commit] offensive fouls or something,' said Pierce. 'It just seemed like something bad happened when we had the ball [looking to go ahead]. They capitalized when they came down with free throws, big shots, to go back up three or four. When you have these types of games — when it's tight — down the stretch you've got to execute. The littlest plays can be the difference between winning and losing.' Pierce remains confident looking ahead to Game 4, even if his proclamation about not returning to L.A. has been spoiled (unless the Lakers close out Boston). 'I feel confident with my ballclub,' said Pierce. 'We came [in the locker room] and talked about it a few minutes before the coaches came in. We're a team that's going to stick together, not get down, point fingers at one another. So we'll bounce back for Game 4.'"
Ron Borges, Boston Herald – "On a night when Ray Allen and Paul Pierce went a startling 5-of-25 combined from the field, it still was a two-point game with two minutes to play. How that came to be was a combination of Garnett's offensive domination of Gasol and a defense that held the Lakers to 44.7 percent shooting. 'It's very frustrating when you don't play well offensively, but defensively you sort of buckle down and get the stops and things that you want and you get back into the game, only to come up short,' Garnett said. Had the Celtics not shot a subpar 43.8 percent from the field and, even worse, 66.7 percent (16-of-24) from the foul line, things might have ended differently. That it did not was not a reason for the Lakers to sleep easily. Not with the looming spectre of a renewed Garnett leaping over Gasol and turning him back into 'Pudding' – the nickname he was labeled after the Finals two years ago because his game was so soft. 'He didn't get it enough,' Doc Rivers said of Garnett's dominance. 'We talked about 20 shots before the game. He got 16. Should have had 25 as far as I was concerned.'"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "Allen's problems, in particular, offered a painful contrast to Game 2 and his Finals-record eight-trey performance. 'It's a helluva swing, I'll tell you that,' said Doc Rivers, who suspected his guard was suffering from fatigue in the two-day turnaround since Sunday's win in Los Angeles. 'But it's basketball, and that's why you can't worry about it. He'll be back in the gym tomorrow and getting ready for the next game. I thought he was pressing early on some of them, and honestly, I thought all of his shots looked flat tonight,' Rivers added. 'I didn't think he had any legs. I don't know if the knee and the thigh had anything to do with it, but I just thought he was short on most of his jump shots. Of the 13 (shots), I think eight of them were great looks, and all of them were short, all of them were flat. It happens to the best of us.'"
Jessica Camerato, WEEI – "A win is still a win, even if the star player shoots 10-for-29 and the team hits just 2 of their 15 3-point attempts. It was the kind of win the Lakers had in Game 3 against the Celtics Tuesday night at the TD Gardem to give them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. 'I've played in the East before, so I already know these Boston, Detroit-type wars where it hurts to play,' Artest said following the Lakers 91-84 victory. 'You've got to continue to want to feel the pain because in the East, it's really like grind-out basketball. But luckily I've been here before.'"
Steve Buckley, Boston Herald – "'I think early in the game two 3's were in and out,' Allen said, seemingly playing the game film in his head. 'My legs felt good . . . and a couple of shots they got their hands on.' Fine. But 0-for-13? 'I thought they did a good job defensively,' he said. But 0-for-13? He did get banged in the knee pretty good by Ron Artest, right? 'I did hurt, for sure,' he said. But 0-for-13? [...] Everyone knew Allen wouldn't just keep on throwing in 3-pointers all the way to the Rolling Rally. Everyone knew the law of averages would take over. Everyone knew the Lakers would have something to say about all those shots going in. But 0-for-13?"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "'Every game so far we've had one of our top players in foul trouble,' said the Celtics coach. 'Maybe I should start complaining about fouls. Maybe I can get a turnaround like it was turned around tonight. That was amazing.' Pierce played only 34 minutes, scoring 15 points with five fouls. Rivers, though, already had built a head of steam before the game even started, saying: 'I'm just miffed and amazed about how the other team complained about the fouls, since we've been the team that's been in foul trouble for two games. Maybe they do different math there or something. I don't get that one. But we just have to keep (Garnett) on the floor. Two of his fouls were not smart fouls, so he has to do a better job of that.'"
Peter May, ESPN – "Of the first critical review, Rivers said, 'I thought that was a tough overrule because I watched it five times and I wasn't sure. And I thought that if it was inconclusive, that you couldn't overturn it. But clearly I was wrong. Going by the percentages of the replays,' Rivers continued, 'we should replay a lot of them because every one of them turned the other way. Maybe we need to use the replay more in a lot of our calls.'"
Dan Ventura, Boston Herald – "Celtics center Kendrick Perkins, meet Red Sox draft pick Kendrick Perkins. The Red Sox selected Perkins, a power-hitting infielder/outfielder in the sixth round of the amateur baseball draft yesterday. Not only do the two share the same name, they also attended high schools in Texas less than an hour away. The Celtics [team stats]' Perkins played his high school basketball at Clifton J. Ozen in Beaumont, while the Red Sox' Perkins just concluded his high school baseball career at La Porte High School. 'For real? You gotta be kidding,' the Celtics center said last night. 'Another Kendrick Perkins? I thought there was only one of us out there. I didn't know there was even anyone else named Kendrick (other than his son).'"
Robert Mays, Boston Globe – "The difference in Lamar Odom's Game 3 performance was simple. He had to be on the floor to contribute. After five personal fouls limited Odom to less than 15 minutes and 3 points in Game 2, the Lakers' forward played nearly 28 minutes and scored 12 points in the 91-84 Lakers win. Odom started early with 6 points in the first quarter. After two games of offensive struggles a 3-pointer from the top of the key that banked off the backboard was just what he needed. 'That was kind of a gift from God to him for all that stuff he's been through in the series,' said Lakers coach Phil Jackson."

Bank of America: After-Hours Trading
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Bank of America (BAC) rose in extended trades on Wednesday after the bank said it's secured additional time to negotiate in a dispute with a large bondholder group over about $47 billion in soured mortgage backed securities.
Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America was facing a deadline this week to respond to allegations raised by attorneys for the bondholders, which include Pacific Investment Management Co., BlackRock (BLK) and the New York Federal Reserve.
Additionally, the
Wall Street Journal is reporting Bank of America is now in settlement talks with some of its largest mortgage investors, a move that it said would represent a "major shift in strategy for CEO Brian Moynihan, who has pledged to fight against having to repurchase any of the securities.
The stock was last quoted at $12.67, up 3.1%, on volume of 11.2 million, according to Nasdaq.com. Based on a regular session close at $12.29, the shares are down almost 18% year-to-date.
SciClone PharmaceuticalsA big loser in late trades was SciClone Pharmaceuticals (SCLN), whose shares fell nearly 8% to $3.68 after the bell with around 20,000 shares changing hands. Weighing on the stock was news that a phase 2b clinical trial of the company's proposed hepatitis B treatment, SCV-07, had missed its primary endpoint. "Although the data showed an interesting biological signal, due to the rapidly changing landscape of effective treatments which increase the complexity and risks of developing drugs in chronic HCV, we have decided not to continue development in this indication," said Friedhelm Blobel, the company's CEO and president, in a statement. The setback comes with SciClone's shares having gained 75% this year, and the company said it still plans to continue development of the drug for the prevention of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer with a phase 2b study for this indication expected to begin early next year.

Maybe she shouldn't come to graduation
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 05-25-2010 - 11:05pm
This was the statement from my 5 year old daughter's preschool director. I was so angry! My daughter has been endlessly practicing for her preschool graduation at home, but in school she just sits by herself and watches. I am sure that she is thinking something along the lines of "I already know this, why should I practice". However the preschool director is taking it as she doesn't want to participate. At this point we have been really fortunate with this preschool, but this really made me mad. She didn't even ask my daughter if she wanted to be part of the graduation or not, or ask my input. Well, luckily I don't need to be asked to advocate for my child. I, as nicely as I could, told her that she will be taking part in the graduation. I also told her that if there is a problem during the show (that would disrupt the other children) I would be more than happy for her to come and sit with me and watch. I have never given them a reason to think that I would let my child be a disruption to those around her. The one time that they called me and told me that she was being a disruption in school, she was picked up within 30 minutes of the phone call. We have worked out strategies with them and carried them over at home to ensure consistency in her routine and her behavior. We have worked very well together this entire school year, so I really don't understand where this came from. I do not think that my daughter is some perfect angel child, I know that she can be difficult to handle and I handle it, why would graduation be any different? This just seemed really out of left field.
This kind of stuff just irritates the heck out of me, and I know that this is only the beginning. It just makes me so mad. If she had a physical disability would they tell her not to come because her wheelchair would disrupt the flow of the performance? Just because you can't see the disability doesn't mean that it is not there. They would definitely make adjustments to include her if she had a physical disability so why not for a neurological one.
Sorry had to rant!
|Wed, 05-26-2010 - 7:12am
that would make me cross too, good on you for standing up for her. And yes, you are right, this is by no means the last time you'll hear something like this.
To play devil's advocate a bit here, sometimes teachers/aides etc do this out of concern for your child, rather than a concern that they will 'ruin' the activity for the others. Every year someone in the IEP team suggests that Euan doesn't take part in sports day: not because he's disrupt it (which he would) but because it causes him a lot of distress and they are trying to 'help'. Every year I have to make the same argument: this is not something that is going to actively harm him (not matter what he thinks!), it's an important part of the curriculum, and just because he finds it hard does not excuse him from it. So let's find modifications that enable his participation, rather than withdrawing him. It's tough, because the modifications require time and effort on everyone's part - not least Euan's - but in the long run, if you really believe in 'inclusion' and the 'least restrictive environment' that our children should be entitled to, you have to put your money where your mouth is and put in the effort.
Kirsty, mum to Euan (11, Aspergers) Rohan (7, NT) and Maeve (4, NT)

Sacramento Snags "Little Mermaid"
"The Little Mermaid"became a Disney classic that was later brought to life on Broadway.
The show is over in New York, but has now found itself in Sacramento – specifically, the Wells Fargo Pavillion.
"It's such a unique space to tell the story in. The aisles, you'll feel like you're in the water with them because of the theater," said artistic director Glenn Casale.
In fact, Sacramento is the only place in the entire country to have the show, the next closest is Holland.
Casale is actually responsible for snagging "The Little Mermaid".
"Last year when they offered me the job in Holland," he explained, "I said, 'You think we could do the show in Sacramento at Music Circus?' Tom Schumacher, head of Disney (Theatrical Group), is a fan of Music Circus. His sister was an intern here years ago."
And don't think Sacramento's show is just a regurgitation of Broadway, even though some of the actors are from there.
"Totally different," said Casale, "New script, some new music, definitely new costumes."
The biggest change is Ariel; Sacramento's space meant she found a new way to "swim." The actress wears a harness which pulls her into the air where she can simulate swimming.
However some costumes are borrowed from Broadway, like Ursula's which is a production in itself to put on. The costumes are just one of many reasons to see the show Casale said another is that it's made for all ages.
"It's really about a father and daughter relationship," he added, "It's a great family event."
The show opens on July 10 and runs until July 22. Tickets are on sale now.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Considering Poly CL in lieu of Dining Plan - whatcha think??
So we are staying at the Poly for the first time this October... We've been lucky in prior years to be able to snag the free dining promo, but I have a bad feeling we'll be in the blackout period this year. If that does happen, I'm thinking about upgrading to club level to take advantage of the breakfast and snacks.
A little more info about us... we're a family of 4, me, DH, DS (6) and DS (5). The boys and I really don't eat much at meals and honestly, on the DP we wind up eating WAY more than we even want to just because it's there. DH will eat if it's there, but as long as he has a big dinner, he's fine with quick options throughout the day. I'm thinking we would be satisfied with breakfast in the CL lounge, quick service lunch or snack throughout the day and a big TS dinner.
What do you think? Is the breakfast offering at the Poly enough to keep us fueled until lunch? I'm going to run the #'s now, but if you have an opinion on whether the cost would be worth it, I'd love to hear it!

[Spoiler] "Fashion King" Yoo Ah-in striked by Lee Je-hoon
"Fashion King" Kang Yeong-gul (Yoo Ah-in) fabricated a scenario at Jeong Jae-hyeok's (Lee Je-hoon) charges.
On the twelfth episode of the SBS drama "Fashion King" on the 24th, Kang Yeong-gul put on a self fabricated scenario.
Kang Yeong-gul's production work was put to a stop thanks to Jeong Jae-hyeok's charges. Kang Yeong-gul's departure from the country was also banned since he had a past record and the meeting with Michael Jay seemed like it was going to be difficult. Choi An-na (Yoori) helped Jeong Jae-hyeok by putting up a false statement that Kang Yeong-gul threatened her and stole her designs. In return for canceling all charges, Jeong Jae-hyeok asked for Kang Yeong-gul's share.
Kang Yeong-gul pretended to receive a call from Michael Jay when he was with Choi An-na. He intentionally said it out loud that Michael Jay had decided to introduce him to an investor and a spy behind Kang Yeong-gul and Choi An-na delivered this message to Jeong Jae-hyeok.
He went to visit Jeong Jae-hyeok and said, "I'm on my way to meet someone Michael Jay introduced to me. Go on and press charges if you want to". Jeong Jae-hyeok was in panic and decided to cancel all charges and told Kang Yeong-gul, "I will buy your share but give me Lee Ga-yeong (Sin Se-kyeong)".
However, the American investor Kang Yeong-gul had mentioned was Jang Il-gook (Sin Seung-hwan). Kang Yeong-gul made him wear an expensive suit. Madam Jo (Jang Mi-hee) who regretted holding hands with Kang Yeong-gul also misunderstood him as an investor and got herself out of danger with Kang Yeong-gul for support.

A.M. Best Assigns Debt Rating To Protective Life Corporation's New Subordinated Debentures
A.M. Best Co. has assigned a debt rating of "bbb+" to the 30-year $150 million 6.0% subordinated debentures recently issued by Protective Life Corporation (Protective) (headquartered in Birmingham, AL) (NYSE: PL). The rating outlook is stable. All other ratings of Protective and its subsidiaries are unchanged.
The new securities are unsecured, subordinated and junior in right of payment to all of Protective's existing and future senior indebtedness. Additionally, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part on or after August 15, 2017, and interest payments may be deferred up to five years. As such, A.M. Best has afforded the new debentures some equity credit in the calculation of Protective's financial leverage.
A.M. Best expects the proceeds to be used to redeem the remaining $125 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of Protective's 7.25% capital securities, and the remainder for general working capital purposes. Hence, the organization's financial leverage will not increase materially. However, while Protective's shareowners' equity has exhibited favorable trends in recent periods, A.M. Best notes that a retrospective accounting charge to write down a portion of the company's deferred acquisition cost balance reduced its total equity in the early part of 2012. Consequently, Protective's adjusted debt-to-capital ratio has increased and remains somewhat elevated for its current ratings at roughly 32%. Interest coverage remains sufficient in the range of four to five times. While leverage is elevated, A.M. Best notes Protective's steady cash flows, access to multiple liquidity sources and profitable operations, which facilitate the company's debt servicing capabilities.
The methodology used in determining these ratings is Best's Credit Rating Methodology, which provides a comprehensive explanation of A.M. Best's rating process and contains the different rating criteria employed in the rating process. Best's Credit Rating Methodology can be found at www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology.Founded in 1899, A.M. Best Company is the world's oldest and most authoritative insurance rating and information source. For more information, visit www.ambest.com. Copyright © 2012 by A.M. Best Company, Inc.

Souvenirs from Paris and Portugal
When you visit a new place, what are the things that you would buy as souvenirs? I usually buy key holders and coasters for my family, friends and myself. I also add in postcards for myself. I have bought these postcards from Paris and Portugal. I wanted to put each card in each own frame or have one custom-made to put everything in. Then I've bought one poster of Eiffel Tower that I've wanted to take back home to Philippines but I couldn't find a shipping tube for it. I was even surprised that it didn't end up crumpled when I just stuffed it in my luggage from Portugal to Singapore.

Most men with families to support wouldn't have the confidence to resign from a job a year short of a pension, in order to bet their future on an unproven idea. Then again, most men aren't like Phillip C. Yeager.
Yeager, who died last week at 80 of complications from a heart attack, built the Hub Group from a struggling startup into the nation's largest intermodal marketing company and one of the largest truck brokers, a publicly traded Fortune 1000 company with more than $1.8 billion in annual sales.
Intermodal marketing companies were not in the industry vernacular in 1971 when Yeager resigned from Penn Central Railroad to found Hub City Terminals Inc. IMCs then were known as shippers' agents -- intermediaries who booked intermodal shipments with railroads. It was a disjointed, highly competitive business with a high degree of mistrust between shippers' agents and railroads.
Yeager was born in Bellevue, Ky., the son of a butcher. He served in the Army at the end of World War II, and graduated from the University of Cincinnati, which he attended on a sports scholarship before his athletic career ended when he broke his back playing football. He worked as a warehouse manager before entering transportation in 1952 with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
He spent 19 years with the railroad, mostly in piggyback, as intermodal rail then was called. Railroads had been able to offer trailer-on-flatcar service after an Interstate Commerce Commission decision in 1954, but they were slow to capitalize on the opportunity. They treated piggyback as an add-on to their regular business, and did a poor job of marketing it.
At 43, Phil Yeager was frustrated, and saw an opportunity. He quit the railroad, which by then had been merged into Penn Central. He and his wife, Joyce, sold their house and moved from New Jersey to the Chicago suburbs. They rented a windowless 110-square-foot office, and Phil bought a 7-year-old Volkswagen and began making sales calls.
"When we started, we didn't expect much more than having a couple of employees, working hard, and building a nice family business," he said in a 1991 interview. But Yeager soon discovered he'd gotten in on the ground floor of a growing industry. After a slow start -- Hub booked 900 trailerloads its first year -- the fledgling company began attracting larger accounts, and revenue grew.
Yeager's experience and contacts during years at the railroad gave him a leg up. "I believe that I was the first shipper agent with railroad experience," Yeager said in a Hub Group history that was published last year. "I was sincere and truthful, and I knew the good and bad of the railroads. I had a broad view of both the railroad and the shipper agent industry."
In 1975, Yeager and his wife came up with a novel idea for expansion. They created a series of Subchapter S corporations, named for a tax-code provision that gives small corporations the option of being taxed as a partnership to escape corporate income taxes. Yeager searched for entrepreneurs, preferably with railroad experience, who were willing to own and manage Hub offices around the country. There were 22 such offices by 1985, when Hub City Terminals became the Hub Group.
Creation of the Hub Group helped the company market its services to Fortune 500 companies, most of which still weren't using intermodal. So did joint-service agreements a few years later between trucking companies, led by J.B. Hunt, and railroads.
As its IMC business grew, Hub expanded into truck brokerage, consolidation and door-to-door distribution. In 1996, 25 years after Yeager opened his first office, the company went public.
Hub now is headed by Yeager's sons David, chief executive, and Mark, president. Phil Yeager remained active as chairman, company spokesman and an industry advocate until his death. He was a familiar and popular figure at industry gatherings such as the annual Intermodal Expo.
Over the years, he was recognized with the Salzberg Practitioners Award from Syracuse University, the Presidential Medal of Dowling College, the Silver Kingpin Award of the Intermodal Association of North America, the Connie Award of the Containerization and Intermodal Institute, and as the Intermodal Transportation Association's man of the year and the New York Traffic Club's Transportation Person of the Year; he was also inducted into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame.
