It's easy to be convinced by the Fiat-Chrysler group rhetoric about the future of brands, and what's going on with badge engineering right now. Yes, we know that badging Chryslers as Lancias in Europe is an intermediary step. Yes, we know it's needed to cover holes in the product portfolio. But at what cost to the brand? And why – if the company is going to pursue this – does it not have the confidence to bring the Lancia brand back to the UK? In a bizarre twist, the British market therefore gets a Chrsyler-badged Ypsilon. Confused yet? We are.
Lancia, like SAAB, has a small but loyal group of followers, to whom we suspect this will be a complete anathema. Brands can no longer pull the wool over the public's eyes, and to attempt to do so risks doing untold damage to the brand. The 300C/Thema, we could perhaps just about have stomached. But a 200C, badged Flavia? It made some of the CDN team want to cry.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, "the bull market may come to an end any time," warns Jeremy Grantham, founder of the $117 billion GMO investment giant. An unpredictable collapse. Risky valuations, 10 bubbles peaking, and black swan megatrends: The bull "could be derailed by disappointing global growth, profits sagging as deficits are cut, a Russian miscalculation, or, perhaps most dangerous and likely, an extreme Chinese slowdown."
Yes, Grantham's hedging his near-term: Betting the S&P 500 could rally past 2,250 before the 2016 presidential election, "depending on what new ammunition the Fed can dig up." But then, a black swan will ignite "around the election or soon after, the market bubble will burst" and "revert to its trend value, around half of its peak or worse."
Yes half. The S&P 500 will collapse to about 1,125. This Fed-driven rally "will end badly." Repeating the dot-com losses of 2000-2003. Repeating Wall Street's $10 trillion losses in 2007-2009.
Another GMO investment strategist, Edward Chancellor, is even more skeptical of all these explosive short-term risks. An expert in speculative bubble risks, Chancellor warns investors of a ticking time bomb. His team tracks market bubbles. They're feeding off one another, gaining momentum, fusing, expanding into a dangerous critical mass that can trigger and ignite an S&P 500 explosion way before the 2016 elections.
"It is important for the Fed, as hard as it is, to try to detect asset bubbles when they are forming," Fed boss Janet Yellen told the Senate last fall. Then two months ago, Yellen said she didn't see any speculative "excesses," that stocks were in line with "analysts estimates of future earnings." Bad news, Chancellor warns, future earnings are a "notoriously unreliable measure of market value." Besides, everyone knows the Fed is has big "trouble identifying bubbles."
New megabubbles bigger than '20s Gilded Age and '90s dot-com mania
While the Fed hesitates, GMO is clear. Why? The formula is simple: "When an asset has moved two standard deviations from its long-term real price trend" the markets are in a bubble. That fits "the 1929 bubble, the Nifty-Fifty boom of the 1960s, and the dot-com mania in the late 1990s."
So Chancellor reviews the "typical features of asset bubbles" throughout history, concluding "most of the conditions under which earlier bubbles have appeared are present in the U.S. markets today," including "the soaring performance of IPOs." Long-term stock investors beware.
In short, despite Wall Street's relentless happy talk and optimism, another crash is dead ahead. A crash that may be as devastating to America as the 1929 Crash, the Sixties Nifty-Fifty boom, the dot-com crash of 2000 preceding a 30-month recession, and $10 trillion market losses in the 2008 bank-credit collapse.
Here are the 10 high-risk bubbles GMO sees as warning signals that another costly crash is dead ahead:
1. This-time-is-never-different bubble
Throughout history, market mania is "rationalized with the argument that history is no longer a reliable guide to the future." In the 1920s it was a "new era." In the '90s a "new paradigm." Today Wall Street's doing it again: "U.S. profit margins are currently at peak levels and the profit share of GDP in the United States is more than two standard deviations above its long-term mean based on data going back to the 1920s."
2. Moral-hazard bubble
"Speculative bubbles tend to form when market participants believe that financial risk has been underwritten by the authorities." Remember the "Greenspan Put:" In the late 1990s Wall Street was convinced the "Fed would support falling markets." Greenspan "wasn't going to act against the bubble in technology stocks." Fed policy hasn't changed much, they "put a floor under asset prices, encouraging investors to take on more risk." As a result, household wealth has "rebounded to a near-record level of 472% of GDP, nearly 100% above its long-term mean." And today, banks still expect "perpetually low interest rates."
3. Fed's 24/7 easy-money bubble
Chancellor tells us: "Great speculative bubbles have generally been accompanied by periods of low interest rates." For over a decade Greenspan's policies "inflated the U.S. housing bubble." Then after the 2008 banking collapse, Bernanke's cure was "more of the same," while "real interest rates have been maintained at negative levels." In addition, quantitative easing kept long-term rates artificially low, inflating home prices and growth-stock valuations, further inflating high-risk asset bubbles.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate in patients with Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis how the body s immune system controls inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines) specifically, how lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) function in inflammatory responses. This protocol does not involve any experimental treatments.
Patients between the ages of 8 and 75 years of age with Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis or symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease may be eligible for this study. Screening tests may include the following: medical history and physical examination, routine blood tests, examination of stool specimens, X-rays such as barium enema or upper GI series, proctosigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, gastroduodenoscopy, and small bowel biopsy.
Participants will receive medical treatment according to the best generally accepted measures for treating Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis. This may include anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressive drugs, and antibiotics to treat infections. A surgical consultation may be recommended for patients whose disease does not respond to medical treatment. If surgery to remove intestinal tissue is recommended, a qualified gastrointestinal surgeon will perform the procedure.
In addition, participants may undergo the following procedures:
- Blood drawing No more than 450 milliliters (30 tablespoons, or 15 ounces) of blood will be taken from adults over a 6-week period. A maximum of 7 ml (1/2 tablespoon) of blood per kilogram (2.2. pounds) of body weight will be obtained from children within the same time period, with no more than 3 ml/kg taken at any one time.
- Leukapheresis This procedure is done to collect large quantities of white blood cells. Whole blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein, similar to donating blood. The blood is circulated through a machine that separates it into its components, and the white cells are removed. The rest of the blood is returned to the body, either through the same needle or through another needle in the other arm.
- Intestinal biopsies Intestinal tissue will be obtained during colonoscopy with intestinal biopsy in patients who require this procedure as part of their standard medical care. Patients are given a sedative to reduce anxiety, but are conscious during the procedure. A flexible tube is inserted into the rectum and large intestine, allowing the physician to see the intestinal mucosa. At various places, small pieces of tissue are plucked out.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Study of the Immune Regulation of Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and Other Inflammatory Conditions of the Gut
- Natural history study; No intervention [ Time Frame: Ongoing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 1982
This natural history protocol provides for the evaluation of patients with idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, IBD associated with immunodeficiency and genetic diseases, such as chronic granulomatous disease and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, and additional undefined inflammatory conditions of the gut) either on an inpatient or outpatient basis. The purpose of this protocol is to assess the extent and activity of the disease in such patients, conduct immunologic studies of lymphocyte and antigen-presenting cells derived from peripheral blood and tissues, administer and monitor treatments, and study the genetic risk factors for these diseases. This study will also be used to provide a mechanism for procurement of intestinal samples obtained at sites outside the NIH at the time of medically indicated surgical or endoscopic procedures from patients with IBD. In addition, it will allow for the procurement (send-in) of blood for both immunological studies as well as DNA preparation as more IBD susceptibility genes are discovered and we further our work on association of genetic polymorphisms/mutations with the phenotype and immune abnormalities observed in our IBD patients. This protocol will also allow for the procurement of blood and tissue samples from healthy volunteers (without IBD) here at the NIH to use as a control group in comparison to the immunologic and genetic data we obtain from the IBD patients that are enrolled. The immediate aims of these studies are to define the immunologic abnormalities present and to identify genetic susceptibility factors in patients with these diseases. The long term goal of this protocol is to identify specific targets for development of novel therapeutics for inflammatory bowel diseases.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|8 Years to 75 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients with verifiable diagnosis of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or IBD known to be associated with a co-existing condition and which is supported by characteristic features, radiographic or endoscopic findings, or consistent histopathologic mucosal changes;
Patients with clinical features consistent with an unclassified inflammatory bowel disease and histologic evidence of inflammation of the intestine;
Patients with any clinical features consistent with inflammatory bowel disease (intestinal inflammation), including but not limited to abdominal pain, fistulae, weight loss, diarrhea, hematochezia or melena or suggestive extra-intestinal symptoms (pyoderma, erythema nodosum, axial and articular arthralgias, uveitis, fatigue, fever), in which a diagnosis has not been verified;
- Patients who have a defined genetic syndrome linked to inflammatory bowel disease risk with or without symptoms or findings consistent with IBD.
- All subjects to be enrolled will be age 8 through 75 (but greater than or equal to 18 years old for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome patients).

My name is Capp and I'm interested in learning more about dog behaviour and training. I don't have my own pitbull, but I have a 2yr Brindle Boxer/Lab who often gets mistaken for a pitty. My dog's best friend is a lovely little pitbull who I spend loads of time with. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm starting my own dog walking and boarding business and am working with a variety of breeds. I've got a love for the bully breeds and hope to have a great pack to take on my wilderness hikes. I'm working with a variety of dog trainers and shadowing their classes and individual sessions to learn as much as I can.
I was told that this is a great forum with a lot of intelligent people posting, so I hope to learn from you all.

Are you knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition? Is there a plan in place when it comes to nutrition? If you already have a plan, can it be improved? Are you giving your body the nutrients it needs? If these questions baffle you, follow this article's tips.
In order to add more nutrition to your diet choose the organic versions of your favorite foods. There is scientific evidence organic foods have higher levels of nutrients and are also lower in nitrates. Also, there are many healthy ingredients that will give you energy. Opt for organic products when possible and taste the difference!
Proper nutrition is the key to a better functioning body. To be sure you are getting each vitamin you need, take a good vitamin supplement daily. Any vitamin shop you visit will have what is best for you. For example, a woman who is 50 years old should look for a multivitamin aimed at middle-aged women. Take these each day with a big glass of water.
When you're doing your grocery shopping, let your kids help to pick out foods. Kids can be picky about what they eat, so letting them choose their favorite healthy foods means less trouble at the dinner table. Children may also be inspired to try new foods if they seem them displayed attractively in the store.
Zinc is a great supplement to help support a healthy body. Zinc can boost immune system health, make you recover from illness quicker, and prevent future illness. Excellent zinc sources include pumpkin seeds, peaches, wheat germ, and strawberries. Depending on how these foods are prepared, each of these are typically healthy, and offer other nutrition benefits as well.
Do you feel that you are more educated in nutrition? What is the status of your current nutrition plan? Do you now know how to choose items that work for you and your diet? Are you fully receiving everything your body needs with your nutrition plan? Hopefully, these tips should have answered these questions.
It's a widely known fact that a balanced diet with abundant vegetables is the key to staying healthy. These are adaptable in freshwater as well as marine water, making them easy for culturing in artificial ponds. Chicken also provides a sufficient amount of phosphorus, which is very essential for the formation as well as maintenance of teeth and bones, protein synthesis and growth as also, the repair and maintenance of muscle tissues.
Fish oil supplements can be a beneficial supplement for nearly everyone. Fish oil has omega-3 fatty acids that are not found in any other meat. Some of the benefits of these fatty acids are reducing inflammation and lowering cholesterol.
Although they do not contain high levels of saturated fats, the commercially produced tilapia fish have an extremely high fat count, which makes them unhealthy for the people who are suffering with high cholesterol levels and those who are at the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In the category of whey proteins, milk has beta-lactalbumin, immunoglobulin, and blood serum albumin. Women who are expecting are advised to halt the ingestion of triphala during the gestation period due to similar reasons.

MASSENA - Truck drivers hauling contaminants off the General Motors Powertrain site are drawing the ire of elected and union officials.
Each month, officials receive an update on the number of employees working on the cleanup at the Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site. Cleanup managers provide that number and note how many of the staff are local hires.
North country redevelopment task force members have repeatedly emphasized the need for as many local hires as possible during the cleanup. Officials from the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust, which owns the site, have emphasized their commitment to addressing that concern.
Cleanup Manager M. Brendan Mullen said 31 employees were on the site this week, and all but six were local. But task force members then inquired if the drivers of 25 to 30 trucks, who were hauling contaminants to a landfill near Buffalo, were also local.
Mr. Mullen said the contractor had subcontracted that work out to two trucking firms which County Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett didnt recognize.
I dont believe either one of those companies, are local and Im certain their employees arent either, he said. That, to be honest, to me is pretty alarming information.
Richard Daddario, president of Laborers International Local 322, wondered why Mr. Mullen never included the truckers in his monthly reports.
If they subbed it out, you dont care whether those employees are local, he said.
Mr. Mullen countered that he did care about hiring local employees.
I do take that responsibility very seriously, he said.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he hoped local companies were given the opportunity to bid.
Im not sure if they have the capacity for the job but if they do we should give them a shot, he said.
RACER expects to bid out the next phase of work, which will begin in 2013, in the fall. That will involve digging up to 50 feet below the property in order to remove contaminated areas, Mr. Mullen said.
Crews are in the midst of the second phase of site remediation, which involves removing the concrete slab which once existed underneath the now-demolished automotive plant and the subsoils underneath. That $15.3 million job went to D.A. Collins Companies in Wilton, Saratoga County.
Mr. Mullen previously said RACER selected that contractor over seven other bids, three of which were local companies, because it was the lowest bidder and submitted the best plan for completing the work. The second phase will wrap up by the end of this year.

According to a recent poll conducted by Generation Opportunity, a majority of young Hispanics believe that the federal government should cut spending and liberate the private sector. As Hispanics historically have voted Democrat and typically supported the Democrats' non-social agendas, the results mark a significant change.
The Blaze notes: "The survey, with a reported margin of error +/- 4 points, reveals 57 percent of young Hispanics agree that "if taxes on business profits were reduced, companies would be more likely to hire." Likewise, a staggering 70 percent of Hispanic young adults say they would "decrease" federal spending if given the chance to "set America's fiscal priorities."

SKOWHEGAN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Eaton Mountain Ski Area is opening for the 2013 season, one year after an incident there almost took the life of its owner.
David Beers was working on one of his snow groomers last December when he accidently activated its throttle. The 18,000 pound machine ran over Beers' entire body giving him multiple broken bones and skull fractures. "Basically my face was pinned right in line with the wheels of the machine and it went completely over me," says Beers.
One of the first people to come to his aid was Julie Keaton. Keaton who has worked at Eaton Mountain since Beers first season there covered his body so that his family wouldn't have to see his injuries, but the hardest part for her was trying to talk him through it all. "I honestly thought I was hearing the last words that a man was saying and I thought i was going to have to share that with his wife and son," says Keaton.
Twenty minutes after Keaton went to Beers' aid, help arrived. He was then rushed to Eastern Maine Medical Center where he spent a month in the hospital and then several more months recovering from home. One year later he isn't taking anything for granted. "At least I feel like I'm the luckiest guy alive to be standing here talking about it," says Beers.
Eaton Mountain will be opening Friday January 4th from 3-9PM. They are open most weekends Friday through Sunday, for snow tubing only. Due to some repairs that need to be made to their ski lift they aren't offering skiing, but hope to have the slopes opened by next year.

Pegi Black and Mary Singler are both nurses and PhD students in the Fall 2010 cohort in Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine. Together, they traveled to China for their School of Mind-Body Medicine practicum experience. They joined the small delegation from the People To People Ambassador's Healing Traditions of China program led by Lucia Thornton, a prior President of the American Holistic Nurses Association. Initially, Dr. Norman Shealy, a pioneer in holistic health who earned a doctorate in humanistic psychology from the "Saybrook Institute," was to be Ms. Thornton's co-leader. However, at the last minute Dr. Shealy was unable to attend.

School of Mind-Body Medicine Graduate Participates in Research Investigation of an Application of Emotional Freedom Techniques for Trauma: Marisa Iacobucci, MS12/06/2012
Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine Program began in the fall of 2009, and since its inception several students have earned a Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine. As students continue to graduate and make their mark in the world, it is inspiring for other students to learn about their passions and paths.
Marisa Iacobucci was one of 16 students in the first cohort and completed her Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine in January 2012. Marisa decided to pursue a Master's in Social Work (MSW), after completing her degree, as it is her intention to work with veterans and their families as well as individuals with chronic pain and illness. While she was finishing her degree at Saybrook she began to look into MSW programs. At the same time, she participated in an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The training was taught by Carol Look (http://www.attractingabundance.com/eft/about-carol/) over a three-day weekend and included the basics of EFT and its value in treating trauma in individuals.
President's message - Saybrook at 40 and beyond12/06/2012
As we conclude our 40th anniversary year, it's a good moment to take stock of the state of the University. The significant changes of the last several months allow us to re-evaluate our assumptions from the time the University was founded in 2009 and will reinvigorate our approach to the New Directions of the future.
The changes can, on the one hand, be described simply: we evolved from a University with three Colleges to one with four Schools. But, in terms of the additional structural aspects of our nascent transformation, we have changed more than nomenclature (colleges to schools) and number (3 to 4).
Cynthia Fitzgerald takes over as Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Services12/05/2012
Cyndy Fitzgerald, formerly dean of LIOS Graduate College, took over as Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Services at the beginning of November. Originally from Sacramento, California, she received her PhD in Applied Behavioral Science/Higher Education Leadership from Azusa Pacific University in 2007. We sat down with Cyndy for a few questions about her new role at Saybrook.
You took over as Dean of Enrollment Management & Student Services at the beginning of November. How is this position different than your previous one?
The scope of this role is extremely broad in terms of serving the students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the University beyond what was involved in my role as Dean of LIOS Graduate College of Saybrook University. With this expansion comes a significantly greater workload that includes far more travel, meeting time, and effort to care for and coordinate resource staff in their efforts to support students and to develop systems with clear policies and procedures in compliance with federal regulations. An additional component and challenge involves striving to assess and develop best practices to improve communication, and where appropriate, cross-train staff, in the midst of the restructuring and multiple adjustments and impact of those changes.
Closing the Circle: MBM Student Michelle LaMasa-Schrader Completes Three-Part Clinical Practicum12/04/2012
The PhD Practicum is an exciting part of completing a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, and for Michelle LaMasa-Schrader the Practicum is where she stepped into the role of "Doctor of Mind-Body Medicine." Michelle describes her transformation into a mind-body practitioner as a calling, something deeper than creating a new career path. Through study and numerous experiential activities she has embodied the work that she champions deep into her soul. Michelle reflects that many of the courses in her PhD program have impacted her on a profoundly personal level. During courses such as the "Spirituality and Health" course she chose to use the opportunity to deepen her relationship with her husband. She created a spiritual ritual that has strengthened their personal relationship, an unexpected gift from her graduate education.
Send $45,000 to LIOS – WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME!12/03/2012
The LIOS School of Saybrook University relies on alumni to help keep our doors open. No matter what your current contribution level is, you can easily increase your gift by almost $45,000 – at no cost to you. How?
Send a student to LIOS
Our statistics show that the vast majority of students who attend and complete one of our programs, don't stumble upon us in an online search or pick up our flyer at a college fair. They seek us out because they know someone who's been to LIOS, perhaps a friend, a family member, or a colleague. They see a skillful consultant at work, a therapist opens up their hidden potential, or they observe a transformation in a friend and they want to know where it comes from. Having experience with a LIOS graduate trumps every other recruitment tool we have. Even a single conversation with a LIOS graduate can plant a seed and, and sooner or later LIOS will reap the bounty.
Seeking papers for a series on The Future of Existential Psychology12/03/2012
The American Psychiatric Association approved final revisions to the DSM-5 this past weekend, threatening to turn every aspect of human life into a form of "mental illness."
Now more than ever, Existential Psychology needs to forge its path through the diagnostic morass that mainstream psychology has become to provide a truly human, truly healing alternative to the individual, unique people who come to see us each week.
Starting in January 2013, Saybrook University's website on existential psychology, The New Existentialists, will commence an original series entitled "The Future of Existential Psychology," in part as an answer to the state of mainstream psychology today and also to explain what we stand for.

MBM Academic Mentor Participates in Global Trauma Relief, as well as in Women's Cancer Resource Center: Introducing Kelsey Menehan, LCSW12/02/2012
Kelsey Menehan found her way to Saybrook University through the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM). Kelsey completed her education and training to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at The Catholic University of America, in Washington, D.C. She then began working with cancer patients and the families of kids with cancer. Shortly into her career she began wondering what else she could offer to ease the suffering of families and individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Kelsey has always been interested in spirituality, and perhaps that is a hint of what attracted her to the CMBM.

Naval Academy Excels at Cyber Security
Posted on: August 06, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Naval Academy passed an intense, week-long cyber security inspection conducted by the Fleet Cyber Command Office of Compliance and Assessment July 22-Aug. 1.
The inspection was designed to be a thorough, scored assessment of the academy's compliance with information technology requirements set by the Defense Department, Department of the Navy, Defense Information Systems Agency and National Institute of Standards and Technology.
It was an evaluation of the command's "cyber posture," said Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Adm. Michael Miller.
The 11-person inspection team spent four days scanning, analyzing and scoring the academy's network and infrastructure, computers and computing devices, applications, user accounts, and management programs, processes, and procedures.
The inspection team also evaluated computing habits as they related to command climate, culture, and operational behavior of Naval Academy computer users.
"Thousands of requirements were checked to measure compliance," said Miller.
Cmdr. Reese Zomar, officer in charge of the inspection team, characterized the Naval Academy's results as the best he had ever seen for an unclassified network system.
"The inspection team was amazed at the size and complexity of the Naval Academy's computer environment and our creative ability to balance the mission while complying with tough IT security constraints," said Lou Giannotti, the academy's deputy for information technology services.
Because the academy network must support a wide variety of needs not only as a military institution but as home to more than 4,000 students, preparing for the inspection was a challenge, said Giannotti.
"Our IT infrastructure is complex and supports organizations outside of traditional Navy boundaries," he said. "Our midshipmen, faculty and staff are creative, demanding and intense computer users, requiring technology that supports academics, research, business, athletics, and social computing."
Everyone working at the academy came together to ensure the inspection was a success, Giannotti said.
"This external review and inspection provided us with another perspective," he said. "There is no doubt that the Naval Academy will be better for the experience."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tian xià wu ya yi yàng hei.
I may not have the translation exactly correct, but in Mandarin, loosely, the expression means "in the whole world, all crows are black."
The proverb isn't about crows. Crows are a metaphor for bad guys. And the upshot is this: we may judge different cultures for their failings, but we have failings too. We all have our crows. Everywhere they are black.
This idea of equanimity in how we are all flawed came to mind as the scandal escalates over banks hiring people connected to China's political and powerful elite. We tend to look at these transgressions — if they can be called that — and pass judgment. Perhaps we say "look at the awful Chinese political system," or "look at the terrible behavior of U.S. banks."
In case you missed it, or are a little fuzzy on the details, several foreign banks are being investigated for hiring well-connected Chinese, or "princelings." They may be the son, daughter cousin of an official or the official him- or herself.
On Monday, UBS AG UBS, -0.50% suspended two executives, including its top IPO banker in Asia, in an internal probe into the hiring of an employee related to the head of a Chinese listing hopeful, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited anonymous sources. UBS declined comment.
And the same day came revelations that the family friend of an important Chinese regulator — who had say over the bank's ability to pursue insurance business in the country — was given an audience with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.32% CEO Jamie Dimon in June 2012. The friend reportedly received a special internship with the bank and then became a full-time employee.
"Our CEO played no role in the hiring decision, did not weigh in, and did not follow up," Joseph Evangelisti, a bank spokesman, said in a statement. "It is his normal practice to pass on referrals without advice to those involved in hiring."
The dust-ups at UBS and J.P. Morgan were just the latest in the saga where U.S. financial firms may or may not have used hiring friends or relatives of powerful officials as a way of influencing business decisions in the banks favor.
OK. Let's assume they did. So what?
This is how business is done in China. And it's not that different from how it's done here, even though many of us believe our way is the superior way.
China is struggling with corruption. It ranks 80th out of 178 countries in Transparency International's Corruptions Perceptions Index. It is, perhaps, the country's most pressing problem as it seeks to become the leading global economic power.
In the same index the U.S. rank is 19th. Maybe it shouldn't be. After all, this is a perception index. People think we're more on the up and up.
In the United States, financial firms use an equally questionable practice of hiring regulators or losing top executives to regulatory roles.

MOUNT DESERT ISLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Federal officials say rising seas could threaten many of Acadia National Parks salt marshes.
In a report by the U.S. Geological Survey more than 800 acres of uplands in and near Acadia National Park will likely be flooded by the ocean if sea level rises 2 feet during this century. That would leave 75 percent of the saltwater marshes with no place to go.
David Manski is the chief of resources at Acadia National Park. Manski says the marshes actually have an important ecological and economic value. They are very important to many of the commercially harvested shellfish and fin fish as nurseries. He also says the recent study is important because we need to understand what the effects the rising sea levels will have on the salt marshes and what can be done to protect the areas around them.
Manski also said, " In certain cases the land adjacent to the salt marsh will allow the salt marsh to migrate landward. Like where we are standing here, this salt marsh can move this way as sediment and water can be moved here the habitat changes. Where as on the other side you see it is very hilly and higher? So, as the sea levels rise, that end of the salt marsh will be lost because there is no place for it to move."
Manski says the important thing is for people to start to talk about the issue and plan for the future by monitoring development and by conservation or protection.

The plan all along has been to play Jordan Creek on the way out, set up at Tinicum, play until dark. Get up, head to Tyler and play all day. Go home. I live just ~2 hours away so I'm able to jump out there every once in a while. I've just never camped at Tinicum before. My favorite courses out there are JC and Tyler. I used to play Tyler and Tinicum a bit when I was living in Philly.

A creamy, long wearing intensified black eyeliner that glides on smoothly, never pulling, skipping, or slipping. Once applied, it won't transfer or smudge. Unlike most waterproof formulas, it even holds up to tears.
Finally a pencil that is perfect. If you want to spend a little more money for the best eyeliner on the market you have found it.
Going on feels like butter on my eyes. I can pencil my lines without having to tug my eyelids or hurt the delicate muscles around the eyes. No skipping or grittiness that I would feel in other pencils.
The formula does take a few minutes to set, which gives you time to correct your mistakes for a clean line, or flip the pencil around to the rubber end and smudge everything to a smoky eye look. But once the pencil sets good luck trying to get it off! I have go on a few nights with dinner, partying, and late night munchies wearing this as my eyeliner. My liner never budged. My stamina ran out before my Too Faced eyeliner did.
Black Orchid is a very dark purple. Maybe a few shades above black. Certain angles of light really bring out the purple. The color is unexpected and I love it. My go-to when I'm tired of black eyeliner.
If I'm tired of dark eyeliners in general I switch it up with Peacock, a teal blue that is my favorite color. I don't wear this too often because most of my wardrobe is teal. The teal really brings out my brown eyes. The color is so intense I would keep my other features neutral (sheer lipgloss, light bronzer on my cheeks) to balance out my look.
This eyeliner slides on smoothly but after a couple of minutes it slid into my contacts and made me have foggy vision!! I would clean my contacts and it's happen again until I wiped all the eyeliner off my water line. I really DO NOT suggest for contact users.
Was excited to get this product on sephoras 12 dollar sale but was sadly dissapointed. The product was to creamy and smudgy for my liking and I just got it everywhere on my eye. I honestly just took it off and put the product away, not before however the mushy tip broke right off. I am considering putting it in the fridge for a night to see if it helps, but so far my vote is no.
I do agree with some of the other comments, I brought this before and it just keeps on breaking! it was literally a waste of $20, even when I sharpened it, it broke
The first time I tried to use this liner it broke, I sharpened it...it broke....I tried to sharpen it again...it broke! Really disappointed! I can't say anything about the results of the product seeing as I cant use it!
Cons- I have used better. It doesn't stay on my top waterline for more than an hour, and also makes my contacts extremely foggy EVERY time I put it on my waterline. Sits in creases (I don't have oily skin so it has no reason to run either). It is a mess when I try washing it off, I have to clean my eyes with eye makeup remover about 2-4 times because it just continually runs off.
Pros- It does create a pretty smokey eye easily (though it only stays put for a bit), the sponge on the end is useful. Good pigment. Goes on easily.
Will not buy again specifically because of the contacts issue, it would probably work better for those who don't wear contacts.
I am trying to exchange this eyeliner for one that isn't broken. The color looks alright, but I haven't used it yet. I love that it comes with a smudger thing. I hope to get to try this eyeliner out soon!
Too Faced Perfect Peacock is the only teal I like on my waterline. I trace ABOVE my lower lash line and around the inside corner with Perfect Peacock. Then I trace ABOVE my upper lash line and around my outer corner with Perfect Black. I like to use the bright liner first and fix mistakes after applying black.
My eyes are deep green (money green) and my skin is freckled and black is often too much for me. This color is the perfect deep shade of Moss, literally. It's not shimmery or green it's sophisticated enough to replace black for my skin tone. I'm so happy. Even better, I forgot to apply primer and with serious inset eyes that normally means a zerox copy on the hoods - nothing. Not a smudge top or bottom and no irritation. In love...
I like these eyeliners a lot.. they look the best and they never smudge.. must have.. I want to now purchase more colors
I use them on my upperlid and kinda smudge them out over my lid to make a Smokey eyeshadow look.

Dr. Hassid and his team deserve more than 5 stars! They are truly a unique and amazing doctors office. Dr. Hassid is hands down the best doctor I have ever encountered. He listens, he looks at your health as a whole, he is amazing at diagnosing problems, and he really CARES. He doesn't give up when other doctors do. He also takes a lot of time with each patient to go over everything you want to discuss and never tries to hurry you out. I can't recommend him highly enough. Also, he has an truly wonderful staff. The PAs and nurses are treasures. They follow your health as closely as Dr. Hassid does, using their experience to help your treatment, and they often bring up issues to Dr. Hassid on the spot even though you don't have an appointment with him. This office truly cares about the patients well being in the present. Not only are they very knowledgeable, but I have never encountered such an empathetic group of people who remember you and treat you like a friend.

Dr. Hassid is one of the best neurologists I've met, and I've met more than my share! I have to travel to see him, about 2 hours, but it's better than the local alternatives who leave a lot to be desired. He is smart, very knowledgable about current therapies/treatments/conditions. He sent me to a consultation at Stanford for Rheumatology so he wasn't just focusing on neuro alone. His office also has alternative homeopathic type doctors/treatments as an option for those who prefer that.

Video: Armstrong's teammates react to his doping admission
CHICAGO (AP) - Lance Armstrong confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, reversing more than a decade of denial.
"Yes," Armstrong said when Winfrey asked if he used a series of drugs to help his record run.
Said Armstrong: "I made my decisions. They are my mistake."
Sitting in a chair across from Winfrey, Armstrong said he could not have won the race seven times without the drugs and gave a small smile.
Armstrong was stripped of all his titles in the wake of a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report last October and banned for life from competing in triathlons and other sanctioned events. He also lost nearly all his sponsors and left the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.
The interview was taped Monday. Part 2 airs Friday on the OWN Network:

Timothy Olyphant ("Justified," The Crazies, "Deadwood") has hopped on I Am Number Four after Sharlto Copley had to drop out to promote The A-Team. Which makes sense. You don't want to leave "Rampage" Jackson alone in a room full of reporters.Olyphant will be stepping into the role of "guardian and mentor" to Alex Pettyfer's alien refugee Number Four. I see no mention of this guardian being a kick-ass Southern lawman, but the casting of Timothy Olyphant would suggest that's the case. Must be a typo. (Variety)
When I heard that Jennifer Aniston had signed on to star in Horrible Bosses, I assumed that the film was going to be a real hunk of crap. But when I heard that Charlie Day from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is in talks to sign on, I was forced to reconsider. Throw Jason Bateman into the mix, and this film about three friends who plot to kill their bosses seems a lot more interesting. Jason Bateman will play a man who believes his hard work will be rewarded but when he gets passed over for a promotion, he hits rock bottom. Charlie Day plays a hapless guy, always in the wrong place at the wrong time. A part still to be cast is a ladies' man who is good at his job, but gets a rude awakening when his boss passes away and gets replaced. Word on "the street" is that Colin Farrell will be playing said ladies' man. I guess "the street" must read Collider.
I don't want to beat a dead horse by making a "beating an undead horse" joke about Geroge Romero, but Jesus H. Christ! He's making it very hard not to.Although Romero's sixth zombie film, Survival of the Dead, hasn't even hit theaters yet, the legendary director is already talking about two more installments.In a recent interview, Romero said he would like to shoot the films back to back and that "returning for two more entries would feel like home to him."I'd like to point out that to experience something that "feels like home" you would actually have to leave home first. But at any rate, shooting the films back to back is probably a good idea, considering Romero is 70. If this goes on much longer, the undead films are going to need an undead director…because he'll be dead. Get it? Yeah you do. (First Showing)
Shocking news! Jennifer Aniston has decided to break the mold and step out of her comfort zone by taking on a role in a romantic comedy. Wanderlust, which was acquired by Universal Pictures, will be produced by Judd Apatow and will costar Apatow regular Paul Rudd. Aniston and Rudd will play a married couple trying to escape the trappings of the city life for a counterculture existence. Sounds amazing! As if one groundbreaking role wasn't enough, Aniston has also signed on to star in New Line Cinema's Horrible Bosses, which is no doubt a dark psychological thriller. Either that, or another sh*tty comedy. (Deadline)

The decision to split Twilight: Breaking Dawn into two movies is causing some money woes for Summit Entertainment. Or for the supporting cast, depending on your perspective. Professional erection and herection causers, Ashley Greene and Kellen Lutz are looking for bigger paydays now that their careers are beginnng to break out. They're all like, "F*ck you! Pay me!!" And Summit's all like, "No. YOU, f*ck you!!" Or something along those lines:"We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point," says a source close to the dealmaking. There is precedent. After the success of the first film, Summit axed Rachelle Lefevre, who played Victoria, in part because her reps played hardball on money. (Bryce Dallas Howard got the job instead.) But sources say the offers from Summit — which are said to be at least 10 times what the actors made on the first movie — were deemed "offensive" given the mega-money the franchise has generated.This is a tough call. One the one hand, yeah f*ck those guys. But on the other, they DO have abdominal muscles and I'm pretty sure that's what matters nowadays. That's why the American Gladiators are so well off and most artists die penniless. Honestly though, just replace him with Paul Walker. Same diff. (Yahoo)
When an actor knocks their first role out of the park, they then have a lot to live up to. They usually start getting loads of offers to star in other films and with that comes piles 'o cash. What I've been noticing is that some of these actors just start punching the time clock and go to sleep on the job. For like, decades, even. Here are 10 actors who have phoned in their roles for the better part of their career. And some are still doing it.SYLVESTER STALLONE
If you print this out and tape it to your t-shirt, you will get so laid.Pete Travis is ready to fill the 3D Judge Dredd-shaped hole in our lives. Deadline reports that the Vantage Point director has signed on with DNA Films to bring Judge Joe Dredd back to the big screen, and they'll be looking to secure distribution at Cannes.This is good news for two reasons. A) It can't be worse than the confusing mish-mash that was Sylvester Stallone's version. 2) There's no studio involved to muck up the story. There's no word how faithful the film will stay to the comic series but Alex Garland (Sunshine) is attached to script. I'd like to see a scene where Dredd has his own syndicated courtroom show, and punishes deadbeat roommates to the harshest extremes of the law. Please get on this "Robot Chicken." If you haven't already.
Back in 1940, all it took to turn a Frenchman into a Nazi was a few dozen Panzers and the promise of an adequate wine ration. In 2010, all it takes to turn a Nazi into a Frenchman is a few million dollars and director Paul W.S. Anderson.Christoph Waltz, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Colonel Hans Landa (a.k.a. The Jew Hunter) in Inglourious Basterds, has signed on to play Cardinal Richelieu in the upcoming Three Musketeers film. Waltz joins a heavily European cast including Mads Mikkelsen and Milla Jovovich.According to FirstShowing.net, the film will be presented in 3-D. Anderson's version of the classic tale is also "going for a contemporary feel without moving the story from the traditional period setting." I'm assuming that means that the characters will say words like "s**t" and "sexting" while still wearing pantaloons.
These days it seems like every celebrity in Hollywood is trying make a name for themselves via charity. If they're not sending money to Haiti, they're adopting African AIDS babies. Steven Seagal went as far as to bring two Russian girls to the US, and even paid for their room and board once they got here. All these good deeds are enough to make you sick. That's why it's nice to see an actor like Anthony Hopkins who is so down to earth. Despite all the fame and fortune, the Oscar winner still enjoys terrorizing the homeless, just like us regular folk. Back in 2002, when Hopkins was trying to fight his alcoholism, he decided to go and volunteer at a Midnight Mission in Los Angeles. After all, nothing takes your mind off the sauce like hanging out on skid row with a bunch of winos. According to the mission's director, Clancy Imislund, Hopkins really enjoyed scaring the bejesus out of the homeless. It's funny. We have film nights here and one time we showed Silence of the Lambs. So as a surprise I asked Tony to come down and tap a few people on the shoulder at the end and say 'Hello' in that voice he does. You should have seen their faces. They were like, 'Arrggh!' He got a real kick out of that. I bet this little prank was especially popular with some of the schizophrenics in attendance. Normally when they talk to characters from a movie, no one else can see them. But thanks to Hopkins and his rapier wit, now they know that they aren't crazy afterall, and neither are their plans to start mutilating house pets. Kudos to you, Sir Anthony! (CinemaBlend)

Today we have further assurance that every comedy will eventually look and sound the same as Deadline reports that funnymen of note, Aziz Ansari and Danny McBride, are teaming up for another "laffer." Mandate Pictures bought the rights, based on a pitch by Ansari and "30 Rock" writer Matt Hubbard. McBride's Rough House will produce, with "Parks and Recreation" writer Harris Wittels handling the script. No details are known about the rib-tickler as of yet but with both Ansari and McBride on board, you can bet it will be a yuckfest. A real orgy of giggles.The knee-slapper isn't expected to go before cameras until the duo wrap their upcoming guffawcalypse, 30 Minutes Or Less. If my gut ain't lying, (and she never does) this is gonna be one uproarious talkie.
Here's a shot of Jason Momoa being man-handled by the wardrobe department in the new Conan flick. "Make the leather peck-strap tighter!" director Marcus Nispel proclaims off-screen.

Check out more pics after the jump, including what I can only imagine is a grip in Nispel's timeout cage.

"Saturday Night Live" is officially a hit again thanks to Betty White and her whore mouth. The Facebook-supported, hood-approved actress officially rocked it and helped the show score its highest ratings since a pre-election November 2008 episode.Many of the episode's sketches coasted by on the "Grandma says naughty words" schtick of which White is clearly a master. In fact, her muffin sketch is all anyone is talking about today as cubicles everywhere tune into "SNL" via Hulu. I hope I don't get caught by the boss but whatever. It wouldn't be the first time I was fired because of an old woman's vagina. (Reuters)
Andy Rooney went on "60 Minutes" last night and basically explained that he's old as he decomposed in front of us. He doesn't understand your Lady Gagas and your Ushers….
"Those mozzarella sticks had better be piping hot when they finally get here, or I'll pitch a real bitch-fit."In order to keep a tight lid on the secret series finale, "Lost" producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse filmed four endings for the puzzling series. Viewers who can't wait for the DVD bonus features, won't have to wait long to see them. In fact, they'll be shown about a half an hour after the credits roll and everyone has had sufficient time to shout, "Aww, what the fuh?!!!"The brass-balled Jimmy Kimmel will air the alternate endings exclusively on his "Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost" after the super-sized episode, with the "Lost" cast joining him in-studio. No need to stay up so late though. I've actually been tipped off to the alternate conclusions. They play out as follows:The first alternate ending has Jack returning to the mainland to find that a statue of Ben now sits in the Lincoln Memorial.Much like "The Sopranos," "Lost" will also end with a song by Journey. In this instance, "Anyway You Want It" blasts over the victory party scene after Lapidus exclaims, "We're all gonna get laid!!!"Finally, it comes to light that Hurley did actually fart that time in the van with Miles and the corpse. With a man his size eating all that undercooked boar's meat, it just makes sense that a few would slip out from time to time.(/Film)
Iron Man 2 has been in theaters for less than a week, but that didn't stop director Jon Favreau from speculating on the villain for Iron Man 3. And if Favreau has his way, Tony Stark will be taking on The Mandarin in the next installment of the popular franchise. "You've got to do The Mandarin", says the director, who has been teasing this in the films already with tiny references to the Ten Ring organization, "but the problem is, the way he's depicted in the comic books… you don't want to see that." The "problem" Favreau is referring to is the fact that the character, an evil descendant of Genghis Khan, has been criticized for being nothing more than a negative Asian stereotype. However, I have no doubt that Hollywood can work around this problem, changing the The Mandarin to a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant businessman hellbent on oppressing minorities and destroying the environment, while still maintaining the essence of the character. However, since Tony Stark is set to appear in the upcoming Avengers film, work on Iron Man 3 will have to wait until at least 2012. And if my sources inside the government are correct, by that time Hollywood will have already been destroyed in a limited nuclear exchange with the Chinese, making concern about The Mandarin a moot point. (Empire)
Do you like "The Office"? Do you like Indians (if you are Indian, please disregard)? Then you're gonna love the new sitcom, "Outsourced," which premieres on NBC this fall.Based on the 2006 romantic comedy by the same name, the show follows the exploits of an American manager, played by Ben Rappaport, who is put in charge of a recently outsourced call center in India. According to Deadline Hollywood, the show is billed as "the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash."Wait, someone from the Midwest traveling abroad? Outrageous!I haven't been this psyched about a fish-out-of-water cultural comedy since a certain street-smart jive-talking American teamed up with a lovable Engrish-speaking Asian to bring down an international conspiracy. Of course, I'm taking about Brett Ratner's The Killing Fields.
Thirty-five years ago, this article's headline would have made absolutely no sense. Today, it has the power to send millions of nerds into a frenzy. TomTom has released a Darth Vader voice for their GPS system (a.k.a. nav computer). For just $13, the Sith Lord can guide you anywhere you need to go. Unfortunately, most Star Wars fans already know the way to their parents' basement, so the application is virtually useless. In addition to Vader, the voices of C-3PO, Yoda, and Han Solo are all slated to be released this summer. That's all fine and good, but I long for the day when I can type my address into my TomTom and hear the soothing voice of Jar Jar Binks tell me, "Wessa Goin' Home!" (Collider) Check out Darth Vader's TomTom recording session after the jump.
I don't feel all that comfortable sharing pictures of children on the Internet, but I am only here to serve and people have been eager to get a look at Matt Reeves' Let Me In. Though, for my own piece of mind, I'd like to ask that all perverts direct their lustfull eyeballs elsewhere and not at these first pics from the maligned remake of Let The Right One In. If you're willing to view responsibly, you can get a better look at Kick-Ass's Chloe Moretz as Abby the vampire girl and Kodi Smit-McPhee as her new friend Owen, in the pictures after the jump.

Iron Man 2 opened in first place on Friday night, earning an estimated $52 million, easily surpassing Alice in Wonderland with the biggest debut of 2010. But when it comes to superhero movies, Batman still reigns supreme at the box office.While weekend projections for IM2 are an impressive $135 million, it's a far cry from the $158.4 million brought in by The Dark Knight, which holds the all-time first weekend record.I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise. Batman could clearly beat Iron Man in a fight. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are both geniuses and millionaire playboys, but Bruce Wayne is motivated by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. And as we all know, vengeance is a powerful motivator. Just ask my old high-school nemesis, Joseph Sinclair. I showed him…him and that wife of his. (Collider)

Inception set up a viral game called Mind Crime that if you beat it you could watch the new trailer for the film. Well guess what? Screw that noise! Someone else played that shiz and now we're all reaping the benefits. The new trailer looks downright awesome. I still have no idea what the F is going on, but I WANT to know, and someone once told me that's a win on the marketing side of things. This film looks like a serious trip, and with Christoper Nolan behind the wheel I have no doubt the destination will be Giddyland. I'll bring the diapers if you bring the Sour Patch Kids. Check out the trailer after the jump. Inception gets inside theaters and your mind July 15.
Okay, new secret to success. If at first you don't succeed, throw out all your ideas and retell someone else's story with the addition of zombies. It worked for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and the new "Melrose Place." ZING!!! (Tired concepts get tired jokes.)The Beatles are Hollywood's latest undead remix with the announcement that Double Feature has optioned Alan Goldsher's novel Paul Is Undead. The book tells the history of the undead band as they invade the world while evading zombie hunter Mick Jagger and Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono. Racist much? I mean, just because Mick Jagger is British doesn't automatically make him a monster killing expert. It's stereotypes like that that hold us back as a people. (Deadline)
Inception continually insists on spitting in gravity's face. If Sir Isaac Newton laid eyes upon this new poster his powdered wig would spin round from pure outrage. What's the floor?! What's the ground?! City-dwellers have to spend most of the day just trying to maintain their balance. It's the maintenance workers I feel the most sorry for, though. The high rise window washers must curse their existence with each rising sun. (IMPAwards)
"I found this in Mrs. Lee Jones' sock drawer."Will Smith and Columbia Pictures have officially chosen a date, so you can stop asking all the time, Will Smith's mom. As foretold in the Ancient Scrolls of Fresh Princia, Men in Black 3D will indeed open Memorial Day Weekend 2012. Deadline reports that the sequel has set the film for a May 25th, 2012 release. Known in many circles as "Big Willy Weekend." Note: circles of idiots.Tommy Lee Jones has yet to sign on, nor has Josh Brolin. The production is in the process of finalizing their deals. It's unclear at this point which role Jaden Smith will be shoe-horned into, but I'm sure it will be justly earned. He'll earn it you guys.
This Sunday, May 9th, it's Mother's Day, a holiday that celebrates all the gloriousness that is "Mom." It's a day to show love and appreciation for the woman who raised you.

Screenjunkies has designed some very special greeting cards for the parentally challenged Mommy Dearests out there, and they can all be yours, right now.

Every young actress in Hollywood is vying for the lead in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It's like their Captain America.Executives at Sony insist that they are nowhere near casting the part, but Carey Mulligan, Ellen Page, Kristen Stewart, Mia Wasikowska, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Olivia Thirlby, and Scarlett Johannsen are actively campaigning for the role all the same. Mulligan has lunched with the screenwriter and Page has written a heartfelt note to the producer. Johannsen gave Hathaway an upper-decker and Kristen Stewart has just kinda stood around looking emo. Despite these sincere attempts, director David Fincher may cast an unknown for the part because he feels the material is strong enough to not require a name actress.Although Brad Pitt has reportedly been offered the male lead. They should just cast Angelina. I'm sure she has a dragon tattooed on her someplace. (Deadline)
"Mmmm, I'd like to be the meat in this sandwich."A little birdy told Deadline that Dwayne Johnson is sniffing the butt of a lead role in Fast & Furious 5, or the title Paul Walker wrote in crayon on his Trapper Keeper, Fast Five. Johnson is already starring in the revenge drama Faster where he'll also be driving fast. We got it, Rock. You're a man. You like fast cars, fast women, and eating chili peppers with Vin Diesel. It would be really cool if you'd let Paul tag along sometime. He doesn't think you guys like him. Awww, come back here, Paul! You weren't supposed to hear that!
