Tornado Rips Japan, At Least 67 Injured
In what was believed to be a rare occurrence for the country, a tornado has struck the Koshigaya city of Japan, ripping off the roofs of a number of houses and buildings as well as toppling down a number of structures. No casualties have been reported. At least 67 were injured.
The tornado disaster occurred at around 2 pm local time on Monday at Koshigaya, which is located 22 kilometres (13.6 miles) north of Tokyo. It wreaked havoc that covered a 14-kilometre (8.6-mile) range, extending to the town of Matsubushi and Noda city in neighboring Chiba prefecture.
Local authorities said it was Japan's worst tornado since May 2012, when the city of Tsukuba in eastern Ibaraki prefecture got ripped apart, killing a 14-year-old boy, injuring at least 52 others, and damaging approximately 890 buildings.
"Weather conditions in the region today have been very unstable," an unidentified meteorologist at Japan's weather agency as quoted by the AFP.
"In flatter parts of the region particularly, warm, wet air can come inland and spark tornados. This is especially the case when there is a typhoon developing in the south," he said.
Tornado Rips Japan, At Least 67 Injured
The number of injured people in Koshigaya reached 66, including a 40-year-old man who suffered a skull fracture and an 82-year-old woman who broke her right leg. Six buildings were completely smashed while more than 80 structures were badly damaged.
In Noda city, only one was reportedly injured. Damaged were 27 vehicles and 68 houses.
At least 10 houses were severely damaged in Matsubushi. There were no reports of fatalities from the town.
More than 540 buildings were damaged in both prefectures, according to the Kyodo news agency, with some completely destroyed.
Power supply was likewise abruptly cut by strong winds and lightning, affecting 30,500 houses in the region, including 22,400 houses in Kasukabe and more than 4,000 houses in Koshigaya.
"Violent winds and lightning appear to be the causes, but we are still investigating," an unidentified official from the Tokyo Electric Power Co told Japan News. The firm said it will restore power back to homes and offices as soon as possible.

Room was great, shower room was excellent. I have to say all my travel mates (4 including me) have had chosen this as the best among our stay in 6 countries of this Europe trip. The lady boss had even extended their closing hours to keep our luggages (of course luggage storage was free) on our check-out day. This is what I call "extra miles" and we are very much appreciated it.

It was difficult to check in, the cafe closed at noon on Sunday so I had to find a pay phone to call someone, once they told me where to find the key I realized they checked me into the wrong room and I had to go back to the pay phone and then wait for someone to come and fix the mistake. Other than the check in it was clean but no area for morning tea or coffee.

Healthy skin care - Things you need to know

Most will always agree that having healthy skin care is an ideal goal everyone needs to attain. It is likely that you are constantly in search of set of treatments, skin care regimen and lifestyle habits to help you acquire and maintain healthy and good-looking skin.
Modernization on your skin: good or bad?
Rapid industrialization in many advanced and developing countries may have contributed to the improvement of living conditions for many of us. We are able to accomplish multiple tasks with lesser labor and time. The same development, however, has brought us countless environmental factors and radical changes in our daily routine.
These may be in the form of pollutants, toxic wastes, highly processed foods containing harmful ingredients and lack of exercise courtesy of machines and transport vehicles, among others. Continued exposure to these factors and drastic changes to our daily activities created conditions that put our general health conditions at risk. One of the initial victims of these changes is our skin health.
Finding the truly effective healthy skin care regimen may be elusive to some. This happens despite the proliferation of countless skin care products that supposedly promote healthy skin condition. You can see in the market numerous creams, lotions, moisturizers and soaps that intend to treat one skin condition or the other. Innovations in technologies and techniques in skin surgery are continuously developed to enhance further our healthy skin. Despite these advances, many people are still having problems with their skin, with seemingly ineffective skin care treatments.
So, what precisely constitutes healthy skin care?
Any healthy skin care must cause the least unwanted side effects; better if none at all. Many commonly available skin care products in the market are reported to cause minor irritations, worsen the skin condition and, sometimes, cause many other diseases.
A study conducted by the European Agency for Research on Cancer reported that a little more than one-half of the leading brands of skin care products tested were found to contain at least one cancer-causing chemical. Compounds, such as dioxanne, mineral oil, petroleum, fragrances, alcohol and many other chemicals, continue to be used even by leaders in the cosmetics industry.
Skin care products that supposedly promote healthy skin should treat varying skin conditions effectively. Numerous skin care products sometimes provide palliative measures only. Yes, you may instantly see the desired results. However, you need to repeat the regimen many times in order to maintain the same effect. In the end, you are likely to spend more money buying the same product countless times.
A healthy skin care product must be made only of natural ingredients. Avoid those that are heavily dependent on synthetic substances. They only do more harm than any good to your skin. The natural process of aging sets into motion many bodily changes hugely linked to your skin condition. The body may no longer be able to regenerate damaged and dying cells as fast as it has been when you are much younger.
A healthy skin care must contain, therefore, natural ingredients that help your body enhance its function by promoting cellular metabolism and rejuvenation. One specific example is Phytessence Wakame.
This exotic kelp native to Japan Sea only is a rich source of micronutrients that help the body produce more collagen and elastin. Specifically, Phytessence Wakame fights harmful enzymes that break down Hyaluronic acid. This acid acts like a glue that hold together the collagen and elastin bundles on your skin.
Lastly, it is always desirable to accompany these natural skin care products with regular exercise, balance diet and healthy lifestyle. Doing these, when especially coupled with the use of products containing natural ingredients, help you attain your ideal healthy skin care.

Two months after disclosing that its chairman was owed nearly $US200 million ($A290 million), the New York Stock Exchange has revealed that other top executives are due a total $US133 million in retirement payments.
The latest disclosures underscore how the exchange paid all its senior executives, including a regulator and a part-time adviser, on a rate equivalent to some of Wall Street's top bankers, even though the NYSE was a relatively small business, returning an annual profit of $US28 million last year.
Interim stock exchange chairman John Reed blamed the board and former chairman Richard Grasso, who resigned last month when details emerged of his lucrative pay package, for agreeing to the latest payments.

5 Questions With: Uffie
French pop star Uffie answers a few queries.
March 10, 2011
Last night Uffie performed at The Standard, bringing her own rebellious brand of French pop to Miami. Born in Florida, she grew up in Hong Kong and now lives in Paris as part of Ed Banger's portfolio of talented artists. Her album Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans has created even more buzz around this beauty, and a well-documented rift with Lou Reed over writing credit proved that Uffie speaks her mind. She's also crossed over into fashion, designing a capsule collection with Diesel.
Where do you hang out when you're in Miami?
UFFIE: The Standard's pool
Miami and the rest of the US is developing a taste for French music, but who is influencing you?
U: Tyler the Creator of OFWGKTA is one of my favorites.
You've collaborated with some great artists like Pharrell and Justice. Who do you want to work with next?
U: The Strokes
You covered Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden." Would you like to cover any other songs?
U: "After Dark" by The Flowers

NOH8 Photo Shoot for a Cause
Get your photo taken for The NOH8 Campaign and make a statement.
March 08, 2011
Giuliana Rancic and Kim Kardashian
A picture can say 1,000 words, but according to The NOH8 Campaign—a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in response to California's passage of Proposition 8—there is only one message to convey. The campaign comes to South Florida and the W Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, March 13 (5–9 PM), to photograph all of those interested in being part of the movement. Bouska will shoot five to 10 frames per person, and the final selection will be retouched and made available through the NOH8 site.

Come camera ready (you must arrive by 8 PM), in a white shirt and ready to make a statement. W Fort Lauderdale, North Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale
Questions For: Cuci Amador
We sit down with Cuci Amador of Afrobeta.
March 08, 2011
Once you've seen Afrobeta in concert, you understand why Cuci (pronounced coo-see) Amador is Miami's own blend of Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Celia Cruz and Chrissie Hynde. She doesn't just inhabit a stage, she electrifies the space whether it's an intimate concert for visiting Nylon editors or a packed stadium at an internationally acclaimed festival. She's an ambassador of what real Miami girls can be: a powerful and charming mixture of talent, smarts and witty sass paired with old-fashioned manners. As Afrobeta prepares to perform at the sold-out Ultra Music Festival, Amador took time to answer a few questions.
Ultra sold out months ago, and you'll be performing again as half of much-loved Afrobeta. What acts are you excited to catch?
Wow. So many to say but Empire of the Sun, Duran Duran, Skrillex, MSTRKFT, Boys Noize, Mr. Oizo, Simian Mobile Disco, Röyksopp, Cut Copy, Trentemøller and, of course, for the throwback amazingness, Erasure!
What other festivals are you attending this year?
Last year was a huge festival year for us. We played Ultra Miami, Glastonbury, Ibiza, Burning Man and Ultra Brazil. Glastonbury was a huge lifetime achievement and I hope to make it there every year from now on! I love going to Coachella for all the amazing music. This year we are going to play a pool party as part of the Valley festivities.
What have you been listening to a lot lately?
And as far as new iTunes purchases?
Ariel Pink's "Haunted Graffitti," Yo La Tengo and not from iTunes but the new Radiohead album and our friends Break Science's debut EP Further Than Our Eyes Can See.
You worked with Calle 13 on their Grammy award-winning "Electro Movimiento." Any other collaborations on the horizon?
I love collaborating. We recorded a couple of weeks ago with Telekinetic Walrus and we're going into the studio next week to record on a track with The Hongs. Let's see what that turns into!
You're known for your style as well as your music. What are your favorite places to shop?
Deco Dermot, Art of Shade, Krelwear, Goodwill and Marshalls.
Does your fashion style morph a little with each new album?
Fashion is a fun extension of my mood swings. So the answer is yes!
Tacos for Strength Does Good
Chef Michael Schwartz joins Mercadito's Tacos for Strength campaign this month to support Share Our Strength.
March 07, 2011
As if chef Michael Schwartz wasn't busy enough with two restaurants and a new cookbook, he's also the featured chef this month for Mercadito Midtown's Tacos for Strength—a year-long campaign led by Mercadito chef Patricio Sandoval that spotlights a different chef each month to benefit Share Our Strength. (Share Our strength is a national nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood hunger through creative culinary fundraisers.) For his turn, Schwartz created a braised beef tongue taco made with whipped hominy, manchego cheese, salsa negra, pickled red cabbage, scallion and cilantro. Sample the featured taco all this month; five percent of its proceeds will go to Share Our Strength. Other South Florida chefs participating in the program include Michelle Bernstein of Sra. Martinez and Michys, Clay Conley of Buccan and Thomas Buckley of Nobu. Mercadito Midtown, 3252 Northeast First Ave., Miami, 786-369-0430
The Miami Housewives: Week 2
The Real Housewives of Miami continues on its way.
March 04, 2011
Adriana De Moura-Sidi, Lea Black, SiriusXM Morning Mash host Nicole Biggins and Alexia Echevarria
The anticlimactic first episode of The Real Housewives of Miami came and went, and since we all know things sometimes take a little while to warm up, we were looking forward to the second episode. The good news? It was better than the premiere. The bad news? It still hasn't fully captured our attention. Adriana called Larsa and Cristy "mean girls." Larsa and Cristy lived up to the title. Alexia showed us she can donate to charity and share her thoughts on the "lower people." There is potential here for some memorable moments à la New Jersey, Atlanta and Beverly Hills, but so far we have a ways to go. Hopefully the third week's a charm.
Most cringe-worthy quotes:
"Does he make your bed rock?" —Cristy Rice
"The lower people" (referring to Hialeah residents) —Alexia Echevarria
"He hung up on my face." —Adriana De Moura-Sidi
"I give them nicknames like turtle and snail." —Larsa Pippen
Most commented-on fact:
When attending a charity event, you should be the one giving not receiving.
Most talked-about character:
Lea Black
Strangest cameos:
Joe Francis
Film Festival Fever
The Miami International Film Festival makes movie magic this month.
March 02, 2011
JR Villarreal, Michael Cardelle and Andres Dominguez in Magic City Memoirs
From March 3 to March 14, the 28th annual Miami International Film Festival will showcase a plethora of films from all over the world—Argentina, Bangladesh, France, Iran, Kenya, Serbia—throughout the city. But one of the movies receiving the most buzz this year is the locally grown Magic City Memoirs, written by J.D. Freixas and produced by Academy Award nominated actor and Miami native Andy Garcia. The film—which premiers March 11 at the historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown—tells the story of three life-long friends as they near graduation and make dangerous, life-altering decisions. The cast includes Natalie Martinez of CBS' new hit Detroit 1-8-7 and Jordi Vilasuso of All My Children. You can view the official trailer here.
Miami also gets two new theaters this month as O Cinema opens its doors and the Miami Beach Cinematheque returns. These movie houses join Bill Cosford Cinema, Coral Gables Cinematheque and Tower Theater as theaters that offer foreign and independent films year round.
We're behind the scenes with Marlins outfielder, who now has the largest contract in sports history.

Truth or Darrow
Santa Cruz mystery writer Marc Darrow weaves a tale of murder and spiritual rebirth
By Traci Hukill
THERE'S NO TELLING what will happen when word gets out about Marc Darrow's Shrinking the Truth. It could be the book that makes mystery fans out of the decidedly mystery-indifferent. Perhaps it will generate a new wave of enthusiasm for Santa Cruz, causing that swollen little burg to pop another asphalt seam.
Then again, it could engender a revolution in consciousness whereby all people accept the sweeping power of possibility, embrace their own divinity (and that of an aesthetically pleasing partner) and start leading fuller, more satisfied lives. Take your pick--all these possibilities reside in the convoluted and humorous follow-up to Darrow's The Santa Cruz Guru Murders.
Starring Tom Dalziel, a bumbling psychotherapist who is blessed with burn scars, a bad leg and a sweet tooth, the action tracks the unfolding of a serial-murder mystery. At the same time, the story traces the ideological deconstruction of Dalziel and his subsequent spiritual transformation.
As a psychotherapist (read: skeptical, analytical, indoctrinated-within-inches-of-his-soul Westerner), Dalziel finds himself mildly discontent with his life at the novel's outset. But he is comfortable inside that life--a compromised state of being that he realizes he shares with his clients. "Most people work at least as hard on maintaining the status quo as they do on changing, regardless of whose office they've dragged themselves into," he muses. "[A]s miserable as I often was, it was what I knew."
Enter George Arundel, a big, balding guy with multiple personality disorder and the first client who has piqued Dalziel's interest in some time. A host of other characters wander into the story in George's wake: an environmental activist who can see auras (Dalziel's is purple with gold at the heart), a Lotus-driving guru, a gorgeous artist obsessed with a vision she once had of an angel, a smiling border collie. With each new character comes a new knot in a dense configuration of romance, deception, petty crime and murder.
The ins and outs of the plot are fascinating in their own right, but Darrow's real area of expertise is the human psyche. With an unerring instinct for how the average well-intentioned but insecure Joe behaves under stress, Darrow crafts a ragged, rugged road of psychological disorientation for Dalziel to traverse.
The gateway to that route is a simple suggestion, followed by a bizarre chain of coincidences, that wreaks havoc with his philosophical matrix--in other words, it rocks his world. So closely does Darrow follow the struggling Dalziel's psychological process that it's impossible not to understand why he's so confused.
UNABLE to explain away the timing and order of events that occur first at the periphery, then in the center, of his life, Dalziel soon finds himself mired in a philosophical dilemma that quickly escalates to a full-blown crisis in his entire belief system. If the very foundation of his world view is flawed, how does he trust anything he thinks? If science and logic aren't the fuel that keeps the world's pistons firing, what is? If anything is possible, then where is there to hide? Big questions for a genre usually more interested in whodunit than why they did it.
In the time-honored tradition of the spiritual acolyte, Dalziel clings to his old way of thinking until it leads toward its inevitable end--destruction. After Dalziel has finally made the necessary leap of faith, an ironic twist calls into question whether the jump was indeed necessary. But Darrow is kinder than he could be to his creation, and by book's end, we revel in Dalziel's newfound freedom, regardless of how he got there.
Dense, archetypal stuff, all this business of resistance and acceptance, death and rebirth. But Darrow has the gift of making it light. The psychospiritual subplot is merely woven into the fabric of a captivating mystery, flecked with a genuinely funny variety of self-mockery and studded with philosophical gems.
The most mundane mysteryphile could munch the story down like a big fat tart and not be too annoyed by the ripe chunks of spiritual truth. On the other hand, the average quasi-New-Age Californian can focus on Darrow's Zenlike pronouncements and happily accept whatever plot twists come along. And the typical Santa Cruzan can indulge in a self-congratulatory game of Oh-I-Know-Where-That-Is.
Darrow takes us to Seabright, the wharf, Beach Hill and Cedar Street. We pop into Cafe Beatrice (a thinly veiled Jahva House), a bookstore near the downtown library that can only be The Literary Guillotine, and a Cafe Neo that's more than likely the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company. It's a cheap thrill bound to make the reading a little more fun for Santa Cruz natives and frequent visitors alike.
Not that Shrinking the Truth needs much help in the fun department. It's a smart, funny book with a plot that pulls a reader onto a roller coaster ride, and it has something worthwhile to say besides. What more could it need?

Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Chordata |
Class | Mammalia |
Order | Rodentia |
Family | Muridae |
Genus | Batomys (1) |
Only named and described as a new species as recently as 1998 (3), the russet batomys is known from just two specimens collected in 1975, and one in 1995 (1) (3). A relatively large and attractive mouse, it has a stout body, broad head, large eyes and ears, long facial whiskers, broad, long hind feet, and a tail that is shorter than the length of the head and body (2) (3). There is a narrow ring of bare skin around the eye (2). The thick, sleek fur (2) (3) (4) is, as the name suggests, reddish-brown on the upperparts and bright orange-grey on the underparts, with white front feet and a reddish-brown patch on the tops of the hind feet. The tail is thinly haired and uniformly brown in colour, with a thin tuft at the tip (2) (3). One specimen had a white patch on the throat and chest (3).
Together with its smaller size, the distinctive fur colour helps distinguish the russet batomys from other Batomys species, which are larger and darker, with dark patches on the front feet (3) (4) (5). Interestingly, the russet batomys is unique in possessing a primitive pattern of blood vessels in the head, a feature shared by no other living members of the Muridae family, although it is present in many species of 'rats' and 'mice' of the family Cricetidae (3) (6).
The russet batomys is endemic to Dinagat Island, a small, mountainous island off the northeast coast of Mindanao, in the Philippines (1) (2) (3) (5) (6). It may potentially be more widespread, possibly occurring on the nearby islands of Siargao and Bucas Grande, but surveys are needed to determine this (1).
Classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Information on the russet batomys is lacking, but it is believed to have a small global population and to be declining as a result of habitat loss on Dinagat, due to agriculture, mining and illegal logging (1) (2). As with many islands in the region, little of the original forest cover may now remain (7). This species is not thought to be very tolerant of habitat disturbance, and its small and highly fragmented range puts it at even greater risk of extinction (1), but little information is available on its exact status (2).
There are not known to be any specific conservation measures currently in place for this poorly-known mammal. Surveys are needed to confirm whether the species occurs on any other islands and to assess its tolerance of habitat disturbance (1), and it may also benefit from further research into its ecology and behaviour.

RDWHAHB works once again
August 02, 2012, 09:07:18 PM »
Last Thursday I brewed my first high-gravity beer - a Belgian Barleywine (cross between Koenigs Hoeven Dubbel and Thomas Hardy Ale) clocking in at 1.110 OG. I've heard so much about needing to be really careful with taking care of your fermentation for beers in this gravity range. I've had a few nailbiter moments this past week, but in each case I chose the RDWHAHB approach and it paid off.
Day 2
- my airlock is bubbling at a decent clip. Fermometer reads 68. Looks good to me. 8 hours later, airlock is going berzerk - fermometer reads 73. Crap! Way higher than I wanted to see. Should have expected this, but I didn't. RDWHAHB - rigged up a swamp cooler with several frozen water bottles.
Day 3
- 8 hours later - fermometer now reads 65. Now I'm starting to worry if I brought the temp down too fast and may end up stalling out the yeast. Airlock is still chugging along, albeit a bit slower.
Day 4
- Airlock activity has slowed way down. Starting to worry a bit more about the yeast. Rouse the fermenter and let it sit in the swamp cooler another day (but don't change the ice so the temp can creep up)
Day 5
- No airlock activity whatsoever. Dammit. RDWHAHB - rouse again and take the fermenter out of the swamp cooler.
Day 6
- Still no airlock activity. Crack the lid on the bucket and take a peek - no krausen whatsoever. Looks like a bucket of motor oil. Didn't have time to take a gravity reading, but I'm really thinking it's stuck at this point. Still, I RDWHAHB since this is a bucket and fermentation could still be creeping along without seeing much airlock activity.
Start thinking of contingency plans: Do I get a vial of WLP099 and get a starter going? I was going to reserve a gallon to pitch Brett into - do I just Brett the whole batch now? Do I need to put my Brew Belt on ASAP? Decide to RDWHAHB and reserve judgement until I get at least 1 gravity reading.
Day 7 (today)
- The moment of truth. Various calculators are giving an estimated FG in the 1.024-1.028 range. I figure there's no way I'd get there from 1.110 with only 4 days or so of steady fermentation activity.
The sample reads: 1.029 - and the gravity sample is tasting damn good. The sweetness level is just fine as-is, so even if it doesn't drop another point I can live with it. Didn't pick up on any significant fusels either, so the early excursion to the mid-70's seems like no harm/no foul.
Lessons learned: A) RDWHAHB really works and B) WY1762 is a beast of a yeast

Wilder House
Wilder House is one of the 10 houses of "the Quad." Most of the doubles have large bay window seats.
The complex was built in stages starting in 1922 to allieviate a housing shortage on campus. When all the houses were completed in 1936, William Allan Neilson, then the president of Smith, pronounced it the "Great Quadrangle."
Wilder, and its neighbor Comstock, were built in 1928. Together they share a covered front entrance and a bell tower. Their back wings join to form a courtyard, which is nicknamed the "mini-quad." The Comstock-Wilder party is traditionally held in either the early fall or late spring to take advantage of the great weather.

dc.description.abstract | Keratolytic winter erythema (KWE) or Oudtshoorn skin disease is a rare monogenic autosomal dominant condition with an unknown cause. KWE is a disorder of epidermal keratinisation that involves the necrobiosis of the Malpigihian layer of the palmoplantar skin with the consequent dissection of the stratum corneum. This cutaneous disorder was first described by Findlay et al. (1977) and occurs with a high prevalence of 1/7200 in the South African Afrikaans-speaking white population and with a lower, but unspecified prevalence in the Coloured population. The primary objective of this study was to identify and characterise the causative gene for KWE, by examining plausible positional candidate genes. The KWE gene has been localized to chromosome 8p23.1-p22 in a region of 1.2 Mb. In order to identify a potentially causative KWE mutation, the coding regions of each candidate gene was sequenced from genomic DNA. Each of the genetic variants identified was also observed in the control group or had previously been shown to be polymorphic, eliminating them all from causing KWE. The cDNA of the two most likely candidates, FDFT1 and CTSB, was sequenced in order to identify deep intronic variants that might affect splicing and that would not be identified at a genomic DNA level. No such variation was observed. The relative expression profiles of CTSB and FDFT1 in affected and non-affected palmoplantar skin was analysed using real-time RT-PCR. The relative expression of CTSB in the skin of patients did not differ significantly from controls (p=0.68). However, a trend was observed towards increased expression of FDFT1 in the skin of KWE affected individuals (p=0.063). This observation prompted the analysis of the FDFT1 promoter region through genomic sequencing. No genetic variants identified within the promoter region segregated with the KWE phenotype. The increased FDFT1 expression is therefore unlikely to result from a mutation within the promoter region of this gene and may be in response to the disruption of the epidermal barrier in affected skin. There is a strong correlation between the severity of the KWE phenotype and the level of FDFT1 expression. Although none of the chosen positional candidate genes appear to harbour the KWE-causing mutation, they can be excluded from the list of possible positional candidates for KWE, taking us one step closer to discovering the molecular cause of KWE. | en_US |

Lights Out for Society
Shoot to Kyle: When the power fails, Matthew (Kyle MacLachlan) takes up arms to protect his family in "The Trigger Effect."
Class conflict in the dark fuels 'The Trigger Effect'
By Richard von Busack
THAT The Trigger Effect is a fantasy about class conflict distinguishes it right away. The movie opens with a downward spiral of rudeness. An extension cord at a shopping mall causes a person to trip and spill his drink on someone else's expensive suit; the enraged wearer of the suit bumps into another shopper. The initial event escalates into a near-violent confrontation in a movie theater.
When Annie (Elisabeth Shue) and Matthew (Kyle MacLachan) arrive home from the movies to a feverish baby, it's no surprise to see the fury spreading. In the distance, the lights of the entire city are winking off; a major power failure has begun. How major, we don't know, since director/writer David Koepp refuses to use that easy cliché of a newscaster giving us the scope of the trouble.
Joe (Dermot Mulroney), an old chum of Annie and Matthew's, shows up out of nowhere; he's challenging and insinuating--and the last person you'd want around your wife during a power failure. Mulroney is no one's idea of a nuanced actor, and you keep asking yourself, Who is this guy? Does he have something to do with the "checkered past" Annie keeps hinting at having?
Joe, who is more street smart than the white-collar Matthew, persuades him to go gun shopping. Later, after Matthew accidentally participates in the killing of a looter, they all decide to head to the mountains. Once out of the city, they are as vulnerable as the prey of the coyotes we see in the first images of the film.
The scenario is done in the vein of Rod Serling's more political horror. In fact, Koepp (who co-wrote Jurassic Park) is the nephew of Claude Akins, who starred in the well-known Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due at Maple Street" about how a power failure sets neighbor against neighbor.
The Trigger Effect isn't preachy, and it mulls over the side-effects of the breakdown. We see, for instance, the sportiveness of a young guy who encourages Matthew to shoplift, and who just as sportingly calls the store manager.
The problems of The Trigger Effect aren't due to the directing but to the writing. The vagueness of what causes the monumental outage is perfectly acceptable; the ambiguous hints about Annie's past aren't. The underwriting keeps Shue from getting a grip on her character. She's a housewife going mad in one scene and a contented mommy in the next. Matthew's relationship with Joe is less comprehensible, and thus the script starts to fall apart faster than the fabric of society.
The film is full of good ideas that aren't added up. At its best, though, The Trigger Effect proposes its social-breakdown disaster with seriousness and frightening plausibility, underscored in the film's best line. A cop investigating the killing of the looter is asked, "Is it bad out there?" The cop glances at the dead body and answers, coldly, "Out where?"

The Two-Way
Obama: Lawmakers Made 'Progress' On Budget Over Holiday Weekend
President Obama said that over the holiday weekend lawmakers had made progress, with "greater progress ... within sight" on striking a deal on the budget and raising the debt limit.
The president made an appearance at the beginning of the White House press briefing today, saying he had called for a White House meeting with Congressional leaders on Thursday.
"I expect everyone will leave their ultimatums and rhetoric at the door and do what's best for the country," he said.
President Obama echoed what he said during his press conference last week,saying he wants a "balanced approach" to dealing with the country's debt and deficit that includes cuts in domestic, defense and entitlement programs as well as "spending in the tax code."
The president said he wants a long-term deal, not a stop-gap measure that would raise the debt ceiling and leave the big budget negotiations for later.
"We have a unique opportunity to do something big," he said.

It is Saji Surendran's turn to narrate yet another tale of friendship in 'Fo(u)r Friends'.
The team of 'Fo(u)r Friends' is on cloud nine. Naturally. It is Kamal Hassan who is appearing in a cameo in the film. It is after more than two decades that the thespian is doing a film in Malayalam.
The shooting of 'Fo(u)r Friends,' which talks about the "amazing friendship between four friends," is going on at various locations in Kochi. Jayaram, Kunchacko Boban, Jayasurya and Meera Jasmine play the four friends in the film that has been scripted by Krishna Poojappura and directed by Saji Surendran.
It was Jayaram who took the initiative to get Kamal Hassan on board. "I think the play on the title and the mood of the film struck a chord with Kamal sir," says Jayaram. Adds a visibly excited Saji: "Not even in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would direct Kamal Hassan! He agreed to do the role the moment we finished narrating the storyline. The scenes in which he appears were shot in a day in Chennai. He was friendly and supportive. He even added some of his own experiences to his dialogues and his involvement was just unbelievable."
Serious theme
Quite unlike Saji's earlier films – 'Ivar Vivahitrayal' and 'Happy Husbands,' this film is not an out-and-out rom-com.
"Although there is lots of humour, 'Fo(u)r Friends has quite a serious theme," says Saji.
Looks like Saji has also joined the friendship bandwagon. The film is about the friendship that develops between four strangers from four different backgrounds. The four soon become the best of friends and embark on a journey together.
The location for the day is the arrival terminal at the Cochin International Airport. The crew have their work cut out for them as a large crowd of onlookers have gathered at the venue. Jayaram, Kunchacko Boban and Jayasurya are cooling their heels inside a room in the terminal as they wait for their turn in front of the camera. Just like they are in the film, the actors appear to share a great camaraderie off the camera too and chorus that they are all are having a fabulous time shooting for the film.
In the film, Jayaram plays Roy, a rich orphan, while Jayasurya plays an uneducated local goonda called Amir, who will do any job to earn a living and take care of his sister. Kunchacko Boban is Soorya, an MBA graduate and musician. He is in love with his girlfriend but her parents do not approve and they send her to Malayasia. Meera Jasmine dons the role of Gauri, a medical student whose life is made miserable by her step-mother.
The scene for the day has Roy, Amir and Soorya about to set off for Malaysia. They are waiting for Gauri to join them and their story is unveiled through a series of flashbacks, as they wait for her.
Remix of a super hit
The super hit song 'Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge…' from the yesteryear classic 'Sholay,' originally picturised on Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, is being remixed for the film by music director M. Jayachandran.
'Fo(u)r Friends' is being produced by Tomichan Mulakupadam under the banner of Mulakupadam Films. Anil Nair is the cinematographer. Stills are by Mahadevan Thampi.
Keywords: Fo(u)r Friends, Malayalam cinema

Robert Gray of Ultimate-Guitar.com recently conducted an interview with legendary guitarist Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Did what occurred between VELVET REVOLVER and Scott Weiland burn you out on the band concept for a bit? Slash: No. The band concept is fine, but we had to find a new singer, and I knew that wasn't gonna be the easiest thing in the world to get. I just wanted to take that opportunity to just clear my own head, and just do something by myself. It's as simple as that. I'm still a member of VELVET REVOLVER. Ultimate-Guitar.com: You've obviously been as part of a solo group for several months now, so how would you describe the differences between being in a solo group compared to when you're usually in a band setup? Slash: In the studio, it was obviously something that I had to do on my own from the ground up; getting the material together, calling the different singers, getting the material to the singers, setting all that up, finding a producer, hiring a backline — everything. That's way different from doing it with a band, because in a band, you've got the other four guys and you all work together. It's more of a team effort, whereas this was just something where I was responsible for putting the whole thing together. I hired new management to help work out sales and that kind of thing. At this point, I'm on the road and I'm back to the band situation. Although I'm sort of labelled the boss, I still — at this point — treat it like a group. I call the shots, but at the same time, I think of what's best as a whole. It's actually interesting going from doing a solo record to then getting a band to tour, and getting all the material together and going out, and being in a group again. Ultimate-Guitar.com: How are you finding being the boss, so to speak? Slash: I'm not really the kind of person, in no way, shape or form, to play the dictator role. I think everybody I'm working with is very professional, and they know exactly what their roles are. They carry their own weight, and they know what they have to do. I just guide the whole thing, and make some of the decisions (laughs), but I definitely don't treat it like I'm the boss. Ultimate-Guitar.com: In an interview, you said that two singers you would've liked to have worked with for your solo album were AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler and MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine. If you had the opportunity, what type of tracks would you potentially record with them two? Slash: Actually, I worked with Steven for a second, but it was just a huge conflict of interest with AEROSMITH. The song hasn't been used with anybody else, but there was no chance that the record company was gonna allow us to release it, so we had to let it go. I might go back and revisit that with Steven. The song that I did with M. Shadows [AVENGED SEVENFOLD] was originally an idea that I thought would be great for Dave, but Dave was on the road. I like to work quickly, so I never even pursued the idea because I thought M. Shadows would be cool. He's very melodic as far as heavy metal is concerned, so it just went there. I think Dave is probably one of the metal riff masters though. I think that with a lot of the shit he's done, he's naturally a genius. I used to jam with him back in the day, and with the style of riffs that he does, it would've been an interesting thing. I'm sure Dave and I will get together at some point and do something, but schedule wise, it wasn't possible at the time. I don't even think he knows (laughs), but I knew he was on tour, so... Anyway... Ultimate-Guitar.com: Are there any other vocalists you'd like to work with in future? Slash: Really, when it came down to it, I ended up working with everybody I had pegged for the material that I wrote. There's probably a lot of vocalists I could work with if I had the material for them, but I'm not gonna start naming names. Otherwise, things'll blow out of proportion, but there's a lot of people that I admire. It's not like I got every single singer that I like. It was just that the music that I wrote I got the right singers for. If I was gonna do another one of these records, depending on the material, names'll probably spring up.

The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
Kent Freedom Movement is a grass roots organisation of people who want to bring important information to the people of Kent.
In the beginning there was barter,
then there was money,
then there was money & debt,
then there was only debt –
and deception.

Go, Biden, go! You tell 'em!
"We're not supporting clean coal," he said of himself and Obama.
They do, on paper, support clean coal.
Technorati Tags: Clean+Coal Joe+Biden
That plus Biden's comment on FDR being on television in 1929. Two wonderful statements in one day.
Posted by: Jake at September 23, 2008 at 2:47 pmWell, there had to be some reason so much of the cheering was coming from the Republican side of the aisle when Biden was tapped to be Obama's running mate.
Posted by: Eric at September 23, 2008 at 3:35 pmWhere are the debates? Is the campaign still suspended?
Posted by: bryan at September 25, 2008 at 8:55 amIt would be good if Obama got rid of his support for clean coal. I don't think the government should be supporting coal mining.

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 17, 2002
Boston, MA. A Colombian national living in Brighton, Massachusetts was sentenced late yesterday in federal court for trafficking in ecstasy and for brandishing a firearm while trying to collect a drug debt.
Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, New England Field Division and United States attorney Michael J. Sullivan, announced that ANDRES ARANGO JARAMILLO, age 28 of 80 Gardner Street, Brighton, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns to over 14 years imprisonment, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release. JARAMILLO pleaded guilty on April 26, 2002 to conspiring to possess ecstasy with intent to distribute and brandishing a firearm during or in relation to a drug trafficking offense.
At the earlier plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that, during July 2001, JARAMILLO purchased and sold 20,000 hits of ecstasy, which he purchased in New York from foreign sources and transported to Boston for sale. The evidence would also have proved that, on August 17, 2001 JARAMILLO was attempting to collect a debt of more than $30,000 from a co-conspirator. During that meeting, JARAMILLO pulled out a 9mm semi-automatic pistol cocked the gun, and pointed it at the co-conspirator, saying to the effect that people were killed for less in Colombia, and insisted on getting thousands of dollars immediately.
JARAMILLO has been in federal custody since the time of his arrest on August 21, 2001.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rachel E. Hershfang and John A. Wortmann, Jr.
Please direct any inquiries to Special Agent Anthony J. Pettigrew, Public Information Officer, New England Field Division at 617-557-2138

Sayeeda Shabreena Taj (12), a student of Mata English School in R.T. Nagar, drowned in the wave pool of Wonder La amusement park in Bidadi of Ramanagaram district.
According to the police, 120 students from the school were on a trip to the amusement park and the tragedy happened when they were enjoying the water games.
"The girl was shifted to Rajarajeshwari Medical College and Hospital on Mysore Road. The parents were informed of the girl's death," Ramanagaram Deputy Superintendent of Police Ramakrishna said.
Two busloads of students and teachers had come to the park and everything was fine till afternoon. Around 3 p.m., Taj and some friends stepped into a four-foot deep wave pool. As she was splashing about, she accidentally fell and drowned.
In a statement, Wonder La spokesperson Rudresh, expressing deep regret over the death, said the pool was two-and-a-half feet deep and it is manned by 18 lifeguards.
"There were three girls in the pool at the time when a lifeguard noticed the group move towards a pillar in the corner. When one of them began to drown the lifeguard rescued her in less than 15 seconds and tried to resuscitate her. Oxygen was provided at our medical facility and then the girl was rushed to hospital."
A complaint has been lodged against the amusement park and the school.

Miniaturized thermal flow sensor with planar-integrated sensor structures on semicircular surface channels
Dijkstra, M. and Boer, M.J. de and Berenschot, J.W. and Lammerink, T.S.J. and Wiegerink, R.J. and Elwenspoek, M.C. (2008) Miniaturized thermal flow sensor with planar-integrated sensor structures on semicircular surface channels. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 143 (1). pp. 1-6. ISSN 0924-4247
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 865kB |
Abstract: | A calorimetric miniaturized flow sensor was realized with a linear sensor response measured for water flow up to flow rates in the order of 300 nl min-1. A versatile technological concept is used to realize a sensor with a thermally isolated freely suspended silicon-rich silicon-nitride microchannel directly below the substrate surface. The microchannel concept allows for the planar integration of sensor structures in close proximity to the fluid, while chemical-resistant fluidic connections can be made directly on top of the microchannel, without introducing large dead-volumes. The realized flow sensor consists of a microchannel with low hydraulic resistance and 4.5 nl total fluid volume. A pressure driven flow setup was used to force water through the microchannel, measuring output sensitivity in the order of 0.2 μV/(nl min-1) for flows up to 300 nl min-1. The measured sensor output is in close agreement with results obtained from both a detailed and an approximate numerical model of the sensor. |

With her first Best Actress win at Sunday's 82nd annual Academy Awards, Sandra Bullock achieved something no other actor has done before: scoring an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year.
A day before the Academy ceremonies, Bullock attended the 10th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, which honor the worst achievements in film, to accept two statuettes for her work in the romantic comedy "All About Steve." Bullock, who took to the stage pulling a red wagon full of DVDs of the panned flick, accepted the Worst Actress trophy along with Worst Movie Couple, which she won with co-star Bradley Cooper.
"I brought the shooting script," she said during her acceptance speech. "I'm willing to go through page by page, read the lines the way I did it in the film and, if anyone wants to give me a line-read of how I could've done it better … we can do this till about 4 o'clock in the morning."
However, when MTV News caught up with Bullock on the red carpet before Sunday night's ceremony, the actress said that if she won the Oscar, both awards would sit on her mantel.
"They all go together, absolutely," Bullock said. Though she isn't so certain she'll still be in possession of her Razzies by this time next year.
"I might have to give it back next year when they reconsider their decision," she joked. "I just feel it."
Bullock also reflected on her whirlwind year. "It's one of those rare occasions in a lifetime when all the puzzle pieces come together and they work," she said. "You can't manufacture that. You can't plan it. You can't fix it. It's sweet — unexpected but very sweet."

Apex to host workshop on potential New Hill growth
Residents of the New Hill community can weigh in on proposed changes that could bring new development to the rural unincorporated area.
An open-house workshop is set for 4:30-6:30 p.m. Monday on the third floor of Apex Town Hall, 73 Hunter St.
Apex could change the zoning designation of about 287 acres of land south of Olive Farm Road from medium-density residential to mixed use. The town is also considering changing about 230 acres on the south side of Old U.S. 1 near Bosco Road from residential to mixed use.
The proposed changes are part of Apex's 2030 land-use map.
A mixed-use designation could lead to the development of homes and retail and office space.

Pick Jennifer Lopez's Next Wacky Red Carpet Look
Her favorite designer Zuhair Murad just presented his new "couture" collection. Which of the outfits should she wear next?
1. If you think you don't know Zuhair Murad, think again. He's the man responsible for this jumpsuit:
5. And maybe most importantly, this nip — er, dress:
Well Murad just put on his "couture" show in Paris. So Jennifer Lopez and Kristen Stewart must be incredibly busy at this very moment picking out what they'll wear everywhere for the next three months. Which looks should they go with?
7. Graphing paper-inspired jumpsuit?
8. There's also the "look at my thong panties" special.
9. Or the "wrought iron gate" look.
10. I'm especially fond of his curtain-sized sleeves.
11. Metal onesies.
12. And flare for mixing patterns.
13. Or maybe they'd prefer to look naked but still expensive in this:
14. And possibly, if they're feeling really wild, they'd like to hide their boobs in this blousey thing.
Which they won't, but now you know they have the option.
15. They've never been especially conservative dressers, but attention must be brought to these astounding cape/coat things.
17. And then there's my personal favorite, the golden goose:
So what should J. Lo wear next? Leave your suggestions in comments!
