Maytree conducts practical, policy-relevant research on immigration and citizenship, settlement and integration, immigrant employment, cities and urban prosperity, civic engagement, and diversity in leadership.
We also share research on a variety of social policy issues conducted by our partners.
The research provides evidence that can help inform policy and decision-making at all levels of government and across sectors.
Latest Reports
Who Votes in Toronto Municipal Elections
This new study conducted for Maytree by Ryerson University Professor Myer Siemiatycki and geographic analyst Sean Marshall identifies important variations in voter turnout among eligible Toronto voters. The study explored the connection between municipal voting behaviour and some of Toronto's prime demographic characteristics like immigrant status, visible minority identity, income and home ownership.
The Many Faces of Leadership in a Thriving City: A Rethink of the Toronto Narrative
Toronto residents have been told over and over that their City faces a leadership crisis. The media has frantically reported on the scandal and intrigue. The mayor has been stripped of his powers. They are told that Council is dysfunctional and that the city, crippled by gridlock and mismanagement, is failing. This narrative misses the mark, argues Alan Broadbent in the second in a series of IMFG Pre-Election Perspectives papers. The fact is, Toronto is booming, and this hasn't happened by accident.
Shaping the future: Canada's rapidly changing immigration policies
A new Maytree report by Naomi Alboim and Karen Cohl
The pace and scope of change in Canada's immigration system in recent years leaves one breathless. From 2008 to July 1, 2012, the federal government has made changes to every aspect of immigration policy, including the way in which reform is undertaken, and more changes are proposed. While some of the recent changes are positive, many are problematic. The changes could have a dramatic impact on both the social and economic fabric of Canada and how the country is perceived by potential immigrants from around the world.

New Survey Research Reveals Canada's Attitudes towards Citizenship
A poll of more than 2,000 people reveals that Canadians think citizenship is more than paying taxes or obeying the law.
While these things are important, when asked what makes someone a good citizen, Canadians emphasize being active in their community, volunteering, helping others, and accepting others who are different. The survey also explores issues around citizenship acquisition, rights and responsibilities, civic participation, civic education and multiple identities.

Maytree & Metcalf Foundation Release New Report on Immigrant Entrepreneurship
Immigrant Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship in the GTA by Dr. Sarah Wayland explores whether self-employment and entrepreneurship is a viable option for lifting new Canadians out of poverty in the Greater Toronto Area.
The report describes:
- Characteristics of self-employment and entrepreneurship amongst immigrants;
- Challenges faced by immigrants in starting new businesses;
- Existing services, programs and policies available in the Greater Toronto Area for immigrant entrepreneurs;
- Lessons learned from other jurisdictions; and
- Preliminary observations about the efficacy of existing supports for self-employed immigrants, and gaps in services.
The research finds that there are a suite of services for entrepreneurs in the GTA, but that there is a paucity of supports targeted towards the unique barriers immigrants face when starting a business. It identifies the need for future research and suggests possible policy and program ideas for various stakeholders.

Parents can be a wonderful support system for their son or daughter throughout the college years. Ringling College of Art and Design strives to provide enough support to match and meet the challenges that come with collegiate life. The Peterson Counseling Center was established to ensure student's emotional well being and personal growth.
Confidentiality is an essential part of any counseling relationship. The counseling center staff adheres to the ethical standards of their respective professions and to state and federal laws relating to confidentiality. These standards and laws prevent us from speaking with concerned parents about their student's contact with the center unless we have the student's written permission. Thus, unless your student gives us written permission, we cannot acknowledge whether your student has been seen at the center or is making progress in counseling. The only exceptions occur when a student is under 18 years of age, when we are concerned that a student is clearly and imminently suicidal, when we learn of ongoing child abuse, or when we are ordered to release confidential information by a court of law.
Many students prefer to keep their counseling completely private, and such privacy is typically vital for successful counseling. Assuming your student is, however, willing to have one of their counselors discuss her or his participation in counseling with you. One good way to arrange for this is by asking your student to have the counselor call you during a counseling session. The counselor will then have your student complete and sign the necessary form, and may call you using a speaker telephone, so that all concerned can participate in the conversation. Note that, in general, counseling is best served if everything parents have to share with their student's counselor is also shared with their student.
Even if your student doesn't give her or his counselor permission to provide information to you, you may choose to contact a counselor to share your concerns. Such contact may make sense, for example, if you are concerned that your student is in serious danger. Note, however, that the counselor will not be able to even acknowledge knowing your student, and that the counselor will want to discuss any information you provide with your student.

Is Your House Making You Sick?
Home will always be sweet, but it may not always be as safe as you'd expect. Levels of some common toxins—which can measure two to five times higher under your roof than outdoors—could be triggering a host of health problems for your family. Take these simple steps to make your home a truly safe (and healthy) haven.
Candles: In addition to emitting lung-damaging soot when burned, paraffin wax (a petroleum product) produces benzene, a known carcinogen linked to leukemia. And despite the Consumer Product Safety Commission's 2003 ban on lead wicks, some imported candles have tested positive recently for lead emissions.
Quick Fix: Choose soy or natural beeswax candles with cotton wicks.
Paint: Rife with many of the same volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—dangerous chemicals that become gases at room temperature—found in carpeting, paint can also contain ethylene glycol, a toxic petroleum-based solvent that studies show damages sperm health, concentration, and motility (ability to get around).
Quick Fix: Most emissions occur as paint dries, so keep the windows open and fans running—both while painting and for a few days after you're done. Buy no- or low-VOC paints or natural paints made from materials such as clay or milk. Water-based (latex) paints tend to emit fewer chemicals and vapors than oil-based (alkyd) types. Try AFM Safecoat Zero VOC paint, which is made without ethylene glycol.
Carpets: "Synthetic carpeting as well as the padding and adhesives used to lay it down are worrisome sources of off-gassing," says Claudia S. Miller, MD, professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Texas, San Antonio. Studies have tied VOCs to nausea and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as headaches and trouble concentrating. Carpets also emit polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants (PBDEs), which research has linked to thyroid dysfunction, liver disease, and cancer. Small children and pets face a much higher risk from these chemicals than adults.
Quick Fix: Vacuum often to reduce PBDE-carrying dust. Pick natural flooring materials that use low-VOC finishes and sealants as well as water-based rather than solvent-based glues. Choose an area rug that can do without padding or adhesive, and air it out for a few days before bringing it inside.
Furniture: Most fabric furniture receives a stain-proof coating of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) as well as PBDE flame retardants in the manufacturing process. The urea-
formaldehyde glues used to bond pressed-wood products (like plywood and particle board) can take years to finish off-gassing. Formaldehyde poses the same health risks as other VOCs, with the additional concern that it is a known carcinogen.
Quick Fix: Buy sofas and chairs directly from the manufacturer so you can opt out of chemical treatments, and seek out companies that make low-emission products. Choose natural hardwoods or bamboo rather than pressed materials. Off-gassing diminishes over time, so pieces older than five years should cause less concern. Treat wood furniture with a vapor-barrier sealant to lock in noxious gases, and use solvent-free glue and water-based, low-VOC finishes.
Plastics: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)—found in everything from shower curtains to plastic water bottles—has garnered a lot of attention recently and for good reason. Phthalates (used to make plastic more flexible), organotins (endocrine-disrupters used as heat stabilizers), and VOCs found in PVC plastic can cause serious health problems like eye, nose, and throat irritation, difficulty breathing, vomiting, shortened pregnancy, and sperm damage. Recent research shows that the heat and moisture of a shower increase the release of airborne toxins from your shower curtain.
Quick Fix: Replace your vinyl shower curtain with a fabric or 100 percent PVC-free plastic one, or install sliding glass doors. Instead of plastic blinds, choose window coverings made of natural materials like organic cotton, wood, or bamboo

There is no public list of all team rosters. There is a forum asking teams to post their team members but I'm not sure how many people have posted.
It's a Voodoo thing. Certain teams and poets are being sacrificed to the score gods.
...Survivor fucked up a big chunk when he kept crossing off names...
Hello everyone, I was just wondering (and I did look for it) where on here is there a list or roster of all of the competing teams forNPS 2K9? Not the teams, but I mean each team's roster?As in, who is on each team?If such a list is already on here, making this inquiry redundant, I apologize, and appreciate any help someone might be able to offer. thank you,Rich Boucher
We should be posting that stuff in the general forum moving forward.It would go a long way toward filling a number of the blank spots each year when you don't just rely on the SlamMasters to provide it.

Last year, injuries and inconsistency helped keep the Sooners from reaching a national title. They missed making their third straight NCAA Super Six appearance by two-tenths of a point. With that first national title still elusive, Kindler took a different approach.

Product Details
Chevy S-10 Pickup 1994-1995, DryFlow Panel Air Filter by AEM®. AEM DryFlow Air Filters are washable synthetic air filters designed for an optimum combination of air flow, filtration, and performance. AEM DryFlow filters use an innovative high performance oil-free filtration material that allows easy cleaning, durable service, and excellent filtration. Replacement air filters for street vehicles come with a lifetime limited warranty. Other air filters come with a one year limited warranty.
- Exceeds the engine's normal airflow capacity
- Easy to clean – no oiling required
- Durable - able to withstand almost unlimited cleanings
- Guaranteed for the life of your vehicle
- Proudly manufactured in the USA
AEM's DryFlow air filter offers the best of all possible worlds, increased airflow to the engine, optimal filtration for long engine life and easy maintenance. First let's talk about airflow. Every DryFlow filter is designed to exceed the engine's airflow requirements; not by just a little but by a wide margin. This allows you to make engine modifications that increase engine airflow without having to worry about exceeding the filter's airflow capacity. And the DryFlow filter performs under real world conditions. It flows almost as well when it's dirty as it does when it's clean, and its unique non-woven filter media is designed to actually shed dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton-gauze filters that retain dirt. But don't think that filtration ability has been sacrificed for airflow. The AEM DryFlow filter captures up to 99% of contaminants, extending the life of engine rings and seals. Finally, the DryFlow filter is a breeze to clean. Simply knocking the filter a few times will remove excess dirt from the filter pleats, and the actual cleaning process is simple. Most importantly, the DryFlow filter requires no oiling, taking the guesswork out of servicing.
The AEM DryFlow filter is constructed of a unique non-woven polyester-based filter media supported by aluminum screen wire for rigid structural strength. This filter media doesn't require oil to filter and trap dirt and contaminants, and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton-gauze, which holds onto contaminants until you clean the filter. When it's time to clean, simply tapping the filter a few times will remove most of the dirt from the filter pleats. Then spray the filter with AEM's environmentally friendly, mild, all-purpose cleaner. Rinse the filter with clean water and allow to dry, or blow dry with compressed air. Best of all, the DryFlow filter requires no oiling, so there's never a chance of over-oiling. The DryFlow filter is extremely durable and will withstand almost unlimited cleanings.38.99Brand: AEM Part Number: 28-20042 UPC: 024844303301 This part is compatible with 86 vehicle(s)
John Concialdi and Bob Sullivan co founded AEM in 1987 as a tuning performance shop in Compton California. Both men had extensive technical backgrounds in engines and engine airflow, and in a short time AEM became the go-to company for performance modifications. By 1993, when the company relocated to Gardena California, it had become commonplace to see cars wearing the bright yellow AEM logo winning races. AEM tirelessly dyno tested and worked closely with racers and auto manufacturers in an effort to understand intake energy dynamics. This resulted in the sale of their first air intake kit in 1994. AEM can boast a number of firsts and unique products: They're the first manufacturer to make an intake system with specific tube lengths and diameters to take advantage of pressure waves in the inlet tract; they developed the first dual chamber intake kit; they designed an air bypass valve to prevent hydro-lock should the air filter ingest water; and they created one of the first hybrid intake systems for modified cars. AEM continues to create innovative products to help you get more power from your car.

Perhaps these few threads could be of interest:Booting from Firewire disk, Boot from USB disk and USB pendrive
G'day everyone,
Trying to install ubuntu on my external USB drive. I don't want to install grub on my ide drive in the mbr. So......
How do I partition the external drive so it will boot ubuntu??? Where do I install grub?
If you need more info, please ask and I will try and reply ASAP.

thanks redhead, will see if the links help
My bios supports booting from the USB drive, so..........
do I make a partition (/boot) and install grub in that??
well......... I believe I have this figured out. After a few failed attempts I may have it.
and to think I used to install straight debian from a floppy net install..... got to knock the rust off and get reaquainted with linux.....
will let you know if the latest install works and how I got it to work.
yeee doggie, heh heh, installed and booting from external USB drive.
What I did was disconnect my ide drive, so that grub wold install to hd0, it's set there by default. My other attempts failed so this was the easiest way for me to go.
Now when I want to use ubuntu I just turn on my USB drive's power switch and boot her up. When the power switch is off the ide (windows drive) boots.
Thanks for the help people..... now let's see what I can break and see if something "wicked" happens.
LinuxVillage - The truely community run Linux/Floss forum !
No IT BS !!
Got grub and linux running perfectly on my usb hdd all running nice but it wont work in other computers which is the purpose of doing it. It all boots from other computers even ubuntu logos etc but then it comes up and says xserver couldnt be started because of the different video cards? how can i get it to detect every time or something? So it works more like the live cd but remembers settings?
Would you need to have the system remember the settings for each computer? That would eventually involve a huge xorg.conf file! How about using something like the Knoppix Mkxf86config or autocfg-xorg.py and getting it to overwrite the xorg.conf file every time you boot it with a default res for the monitor (maybe 1024x768 or so). You wouldn't need it to remember settings then because you could put all window manager settings files in your /home/$USER partition

|West Jefferson Woman Hurt in Wreck
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 17 April 2013 15:38
A West Jefferson woman was injured when her van slammed into a ditch, then landed on its side back out on the road yesterday afternoon. The crash was on NC 163 at about 2:10 as 58-year old Janice Watts lost control of her Dodge Caravan just east of West Jefferson. The State Patrol said
that the vehicle hit the ditch, then popped back out into the highway, where it overturned, pinning Watts behind the steering wheel. She was freed and rushed to Ashe Memorial Hospital for treatment, with concerns that a medical condition might have led to the crash. No charges were filed.

An Ohio woman is suing an abortion clinic for not successfully performing an abortion on her, claiming that she pursued the abortion after her doctor told her that her life was being endangered by the pregnancy and then realized she was still pregnant a week after the procedure and subsequently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The clinic is denying that the doctors were negligent.
Fox News reports, "The Akron Women's Medical Group and two doctors acknowledge [Ariel] Knights, of Cuyahoga Falls, sought an abortion March 3, 2012. However, they deny any negligence and seek to have the case dismissed, citing a long list of possible defenses."
One week after the procedure, Knights learned that she was still pregnant, and several months later, Knights gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
But the clinic's doctors are denying that they were negligent, despite the failed procedure.
"I believe my client absolutely met the standard of care and that this case has no basis to be in litigation," said attorney D. Cheryl Atwell, who represents the medical group and the doctors.
The lawyers are still in the process of exchanging medical records, prohibiting Atwell from commenting further.
Knights gave birth to her baby on September 20, and on March 4 of this year, Knights, 22, filed a malpractice lawsuit. Knights contends she pursued the abortion because she has a medical condition called uterine didelphys, which means she has a double uterus with individual cervices. Her doctor told her that her pregnancy could threaten her life because the fetus was being carried in the unstable uterus.
Knights learned of her condition during the pregnancy of her first child, but she was able to carry that baby to term because he was being carried in the left uterus, which is the stronger one.

This pink-hued cake is filled with rhubarb, which is in season during the spring and early summer. The cake freezes nicely and has a high ratio of fruit to cake—always good in a brunch sweet. Sliced into wedges, this coffee cake is a nice way to round out a seasonal bread basket of fruit muffins.
- Yield
- Makes one 9 x 13 x 2-inch coffee cake
- For the cake
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 5 cups diced rhubarb (1/2-inch pieces)
- For the topping
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper.
- 2. Make the cake; Stir the flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and set aside.
- 3. Using a mixer set on medium speed, beat the brown sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl for 3 minutes, or until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and buttermilk. Continue to beat for 2 minutes, or until smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- 4. Mix the flour mixture into the batter one-third at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Fold in the rhubarb until it is well distributed.
- 5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth it out to the edges of the pan. The batter will be very thick.
- 6. Make the topping: Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
- 7. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Cool for 1 hour before cutting the cake into squares to serve.

Please help make BB better by taking our short survey!
The Rangers announced today that they have signed restricted free agent Marc Staal to a reported five-year deal worth $3.975 million per, according to TSN. Staal has been a staple on the Rangers blueline and was an important signing prior to training camp.
Now the Rangers must turn their focus to the salary cap as the signing takes them well over the limit.
More to come.
As per the Rangers:
York, September 15, 2010 –
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that
the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Marc Staal on a new contract.
Staal, 23, skated in 82 games with
the Rangers last season, registering eight goals and 19 assists for 27 points,
along with 44 penalty minutes and a plus-11 rating. He established
career-highs in goals, assists and points. He was one of four Rangers to
skate in all 82 games, and has played in 202 consecutive games including the
playoffs, dating back to February 19, 2008, at Montreal. Staal led the
team in average ice-time, logging a career-high 23:07 of icetime per game, and
eclipsed the 30:00 mark twice including a Rangers season-high 30:45 of icetime
on December 19 at Philadelphia. He ranked fourth on the Rangers in even
strength points (27), and tied for third in blocked shots (97), fourth in road
goals (seven) and fifth in road points (14). He also tied for second on
the team and 12th among NHL defensemen with 178 hits. Staal led all Rangers
defensemen with a career-high two game-winning goals and a plus-11 rating,
ranked second in goals and points and third in assists. Seven of his
eight goals were tallied away from Madison Square Garden, including a
career-high three-game goal streak (three goals) from March 30 at the Islanders
to April 3 at Florida. Staal tallied his first career multi-assist
performance with two assists on January 31 at Colorado, and registered a
career-high four-game point streak from November 27 at Tampa Bay to December 5
at Buffalo (one goal and three assists). He skated in his 200th career
NHL game on December 26 vs. the Islanders.
The 6-4, 210-pounder has
skated in 244 career NHL games in three seasons with the Rangers, registering
13 goals and 39 assists for 52 points, along with 150 penalty minutes.
Staal established career-highs in hits (189) and shots (96) during the 2008-09
season, and was selected to participate in the NHL YoungStars Game at the 2009
NHL All-Star Weekend on January 24, 2009, in Montreal for the second
consecutive season. As a rookie in 2007-08, Staal won the Lars-Erik
Sjoberg Award as the top rookie in Rangers training camp. He made his NHL
debut in the season-opener on October 4, 2007, vs. Florida, and registered his
first point with an assist on November 1, 2007, vs. Washington. In
addition, Staal has skated in 17 career playoff contests, registering two goals
and two assists, along with eight penalty minutes. He established playoff
career-highs in games played (10), assists (two), points (three) and penalty
minutes (eight) during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Internationally, Staal has
represented his native country in several tournaments, most recently skating
with Team Canada at the 2010 World Championship in Germany. He registered
one assist and tied for second on the team with a plus-two rating in seven
games. Staal also captured back-to-back gold medals with Canada at the
World Junior Championship in 2006 and 2007, and was named the top defenseman at
the 2006 World Junior Championship.
The Thunder Bay, Ontario native was
originally selected as the Rangers first round choice, 12th overall, in the
2005 NHL Entry Draft.

West Nile Virus Symptoms and Risk Factors
West Nile virus infection cannot be spread by casual contact such as touching or kissing an infected person. In addition to transmission via mosquito bites, less common modes of transmission of the virus include organ transplantation, blood donation, and from mothers to their fetuses in the womb or to infants via breast milk.
Humans normally acquire the viral infection through a mosquito bite. The early fall, from late August to early September, is the most common time for infection to occur in the U.S. West Nile virus has the potential to cause a very serious illness, although 80% of people infected will not develop any symptoms at all. The others (about 20% of infected people) most commonly develop a mild illness, sometimes termed West Nile fever with symptoms of:
- fever,
- tiredness,
- headaches,
- body aches,
- swollen lymph nodes, and
- sometimes a rash.

With every passing day, it becomes increasingly likely that MGM's no money-induced mo' problems will doom The Hobbit to development hell. Now, at the risk of losing Gandalf the Grey, it's time for MGM to take a lush, sprawling, epic sh*t or get off the high fantasy pot. Sidenote: Led Zeppelin would not be half as successful without high fantasy pot.Sir Ian McKellan sat down with New Zealand's Good Morning show to discuss how he may be out this bitch:"Well, I'm not under contract and my time is running out and I'm enjoying working in the theater and frankly, I would like to race after doing 'Waiting For Godot,' get on with doing another play but we'll have to see. I don't give the producers the impression that I'm sitting waiting." Yikes. Looks like a decision needs to be made sooner than later. There's plenty of septugenarians willing to wear a robe and yell incoherent words. But Sir Ian McKellan is the one least likely to bite the 1st Assistant Director. (via Bleeding Cool)CHECK OUT SIR IAN'S INTERVIEW AFTER THE JUMP IN CASE YOU DON'T TAKE MY WORD AT FACE VALUE. IF THAT'S SO, WE NEED TO WORK ON US…

Warner Bros. released the teaser poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and it's grim as all get out. With the tag "It All Ends Here" looming above a flaming Hogwarts, someone in marketing must have desired tears from avid Potter fans. If you look really closely you can even see Harry screaming for his life in the far right tower window. Look closer. Clooooser.Haha. You dummy. When will you learn not to trust me?
With Sony finally naming Andrew Garfield as the heir to the Spider-Man throne, it was shaping up to be a good week for movie reporting. Not because I'm excited by his work. I don't even know it. I'm just excited that someone finally made a decision, and we can sail into the holiday weekend without further annoyances. But now it looks like Scream 4 is going to fill the void left by Sony's sudden on-set of decisiveness. Zap2It has news that the Scream 4 soup has been pissed in.It's being reported that series creator Kevin Williamson has been released from the project and series detractor Ehren Kruger has been brought on to rework the script. Now castmembers are jumping off left and right as the script is said to have been immensely "dumbed down." As a huge fan of the first two films and a guy who wants to punch the third film in the stomach, I really hope these reports aren't true. And if they are, I hope Kruger is able to redeem himself after the way he mishandled the conclusion to the original trilogy. Bring your A game, Ehren, like you did on The Ring. David Arquette deserves at least that much.
Paparazzi recently snapped Britney Spears getting a brain freeze while enjoying her Starbucks Frappuccino.
Will.i.am is saying things. Namely, that James Cameron is writing and directing a 3D concert film for his group The Black Eyed Peas. Well, this is obviously the truth. Cameron is well known for his laidback attitude and enjoyment of jokes and good times all around, so OF COURSE he'd force Fergie's humps upon us in three dimensions.Sure, it sounds like a project far more suited for McG but keep in mind James Cameron is on the rebound. He was recently shot down by BP, only to have them run off with Kevin Costner. Rejection does funny things to a man. Like, make them flush away all credibility by teaming up with the Nickelback of hip-hop. Or sleep with a homeless woman during a bender. What's most important is that nobody is being judged here. (Vibe)
Scream 4's mission to make me take my pants off in a movie theater continues. Previous casting choices have included Hayden Panettiere, Marley Shelton, and Marielle Jaffe. Not to mention the near miss with Ashley Greene. Just this morning, "Mad Men" and "Community" actress Alison Brie has signed on to play the assistant to Neve Campbell's Sidney, who is described as both ambitious and jealous of her boss's fame.It's also likely she'll appear in a risque Entertainment Weekly photospread with her female co-stars, beneath the heading "Scream Queens." No word yet on if any of the girls will be kissing a little bit. (The Wrap)
Yesterday, fairly unknown British actor Andrew Garfield was awarded the coveted role of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot. You can "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" right here. Sony made the official announcement at a press event in Cancun, Mexico for international journalists attending a media tour promoting upcoming films from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Personally, I feel Garfield is more suited to play Ichabod Crane or bass in Coldplay than Spider-man, but what do I know. I don't run a studio and sleep on 2,000 thread count sheets. Yet…Check out pics and video from the event below.
GUN!!!!!!The best thing about the Twilight buzz machine is when Kristen Stewart sits down for an unsupervised interview, while her publicist fills her purse in the hospitality suite. The girl puts her foot in her mouth at the craziest of angles so consistently that I've felt we need a new section called Dumb Things Kristen Stewart Says. Actually, she goes off the PR rails so often we could dedicate our entire site to it. And then a book deal. And then a sitcom. I'm digressing. The latest diarrhea to dribble out of Kristen's opinion-hole paints her adoring fans as crazed lunatics (something we've been in the business of doing for awhile now). From Hello! magazine:"I don't feel very comfortable on the red carpet. Sometimes I get really excited for what I'm going to and then try to take good pictures and go inside… I literally have to keep myself from crying sometimes. I look out there at a thousand people and I realize they could rush me and assassinate me. No security could protect me. Ostensibly they're fans, but I think about them turning on me."Relax, Kristen. If you ever feel unsafe in a crowd of Twihards, just mumble for help. If that fails, run in the opposite direction. It's likely they'll lose their breath before making it to that Jamba Juice over there by that green car. (via CinemaBlend)
Trent just loves FarmVille.Trent Reznor and David Fincher are now friends.At least we assume they are, now that we know the Nine Inch Nails' front man has scored the soundtrack to Fincher's upcoming Facebook docudrama, The Social Network. Hell, at this point, we wouldn't be suprised if they were poking.Reznor, whose music was also featured in the soundtrack for Fincher's Se7en, is a big fan of the director. And like many of his fans, he was confused as to why Fincher would choose to make a film about Facebook. However, after being involved with the project, he seems happy with the end result."I've always loved David's work but quite honestly I wondered what would draw him to tell that story," said Reznor before quickly explaining, "It's really f*cking good!"Reznor's involvement in the film is somewhat ironic, given the fact that he made headlines in 2009 (online headlines, not the real kind) for publicly pledging to tune out from online social networks."I will be tuning out of the social networking sites because at the end of the day it's now doing more harm than good in the bigger picture and the experiment seems to have yielded a result. Idiots rule." (Empire Online)
Andew Garfield has been officially for real seriously chosen as the new Spider-man/Peter Parker in the reboot to be directed by Mark Webb. We've reported all kinds of rumors and hearsay, but the studio made the official announcement today at a press event in Cancun, Mexico for international journalists attending a media tour promoting upcoming films from Sony Pictures Entertainment.On selecting Garfield, director Marc Webb said, "Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."Words marked, Mark Webb. Garfield is starring in the upcoming David Fincher film The Social Network and Mark Romanek's next, Never Let Me Go opposite Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan. He seems to be partial to directors who made a name for themselves in the music video and commercial world before transitioning into features.Okay, so we can all stop worrying about the new Spider-man now. It's Andrew Garfield. They start shooting in December. And don't you DARE start asking about Mary Jane yet. I will lose my sh*t.
A montage of male characters from movies and TV smacking each other on the back to communicate affection.

DiCaprio pondering Inception's plot points.Just this morning I was halfway through explaining Inception's plot to someone when it occurred to me that I had no idea what I was talking about. So, naturally I just kind of trailed off and quickly escaped into the flatbed of a passing truck. Looks like I'm not the only one confused:For the Inception cast, the intricate screenplay Mr. Nolan wrote was tantalizing but occasionally perplexing. "It was a very well written, comprehensive script," Mr. DiCaprio said, "but you really had to have Chris in person, to try to articulate some of the things that have been swirling around his head for the last eight years."That's disheartening considering it's unlikely Nolan will provide a Q&A after each screening. He could at least print his number on each ticket stub so we could call him at random hours to request some kind of closure. According to Peter Travers, we'll love it as long as we're not stupid. So yeah, it's pretty much the anti-Transformers. (NY Times via Vulture)
This is why I don't do laundry anymore. Back in 2009, Warner Bros. hired screenwriter Dave Kajganich to tackle a big screen adaptation of Stephen King's novel It. I've never read the 1,104 page book because come on, it's over 1,000 pages, but the 1990 mini-series scared the living crap out of me when I was younger. It ruined so many things for me, including chinese food, sewers, old ladies, Jonathan Brandis, and sewers. In fact, Googling images of Pennywise the Clown just now triggered my post traumatic stress disorder and my bladder.Dave Kajganich spoke recently to the Stephen King fansite Lilja's Library, and told them how he's working on damaging our psyches with a killer clown again:I told the studio from the beginning that I felt I needed to be able to write for an R rating, since I wanted to be as candid as the novel about the terrible things the characters go through as kids. They agreed and off I went. … I think the biggest difference [between the big screen adaptation and the miniseries] is that we're working with about two-thirds the onscreen time they had for the miniseries. That sounds dire, I know, but it doesn't necessarily mean two-thirds the amount of story. I'm finding as many ways as I can to make certain scenes redundant by deepening and doubling others.I can't image how he'll take over 1,000 pages of source material and cram it into a two-hour film. Obviously a lot will be cut, but will all the crucial elements hold together is the question. Also, Tim Curry delivers such a fantastic performance in the original mini-series it's going to be hard finding someone who can top it. But the bigger question here is, what's up with Richard Thomas's mole these days?Yep, still enormous.
Hot teen vampire worlds are about to collide. Twilight's Nikki Reed will be joined by "True Blood's" blood-teary eyed Deborah Ann Woll in Aaron Harvey's Catch .44. The fanged duo will join Malin Akerman to form a trio of gorgeous assassins who's next mission may be their last when they're pitted between Bruce Willis's crime boss and Forest Whitaker's psychotic hitman. Something tells me he's not a sharp-shooter. Just sayin'.File photo: F. WhitakerHonestly though, why are hot girls always playing assassins in movies? In my experience the prettier the girl, the more likely they are to find some desperate nerd to garrote their marks. Or help them move. It depends on whether or not you were raised in Detroit.

The Last AirbenderPG, 95min., 2010Cast: Dev Patel, Noah Ringer, Jackson Rathbone, Aasif Mandi, Nicola Peltz, and Cliff CurtisDirected by M. Night ShyamalanScreenplay M. Night Shyamalan based upon the Nickelodeon Animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender"The Last Airbender is a good looking and expensive summer movie that is brought down to miserable lows due to shoddy storytelling, hollow Nickelodeon-type acting, and the ever-annoying 3D transfer.To describe this story would take an entire 3,000-word review involving alternative universes with eastern religious symbols and age-old rivalries. For those that know the Nickelodeon show, they probability know the backstory and all the little pieces about wind, water, fire, and earth put together, for those like myself, we are given the age old hero's quest to finding himself story.MORE AFTER THE JUMP…
Madame Tussauds revealed the fake Kim Kardashian to the fake Kim Kardashian. It's extremely difficult to differentiate between the two. The one with a pulse has boobs that hang more naturally (even though they're not natural). It would make more sense to spin both girls around and compare asses. If Madame Tussauds mastered Kim's badunkadunk then I'd give my seal of approval. What do you guys think? Would you defile the wax one?More pics of fake Kim and Kim after the jump…

Some new faces have joined the list of characters who may be the recipients or deliverers of stabbings in Scream 4. Adam Brody and Eric Knudson have joined the cast as a cop obsessed with "CSI" and an teenaged expert on horror cliches, much like Jamie Kennedy's character from the earlier films.These additions come with a few subtractions. Lauren Graham and Lake Bell have both left the production. Marley Shelton is stepping into the cop role vacated by Bell. Bell tweeted earlier in the week that she's sad to leave due to schedule conflicts, and that she knows the identity of the killer. I say we hold her down until she tells us. Or just hold her down in general. I nominate me for the job. (THR)
Uncanny.Everybody raise the roof! Meryl Streep is in talks to play former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. What what! The brilliant actress who has the Academy Awards on lockdown would reteam with her Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd for Iron Lady. THR, would you be so kind as to inform us of the details whilst I finish my biscuit?The film is set in 1982 and tracks Thatcher as she tries to save her career in the 17 days preceding the 1982 Falklands War. The 2 1/2-month war was a turning point for the prime minister, who, after the victory, saw her approval ratings double and went on to win a second term.The prose and the biscuit were absolutely scrumptious. Jim Broadbent is also in talks to play Thatcher's husband, Denis. If the deal for Streep goes through without any fuss, it will be the highest-profile character she's portrayed yet. Forget the cold showers of Silkwood and butter-soaked dishes of Julie & Julia. Meryl will have to go head-to-head with Parliament, and I can attest that things get rather unpolite in there. British unpolite, not American unpolite. So basically everyone is very polite.
Everyone loves a dead hooker. Everyone loves a live hooker for that matter. "Makin money the hard way" is one of the mankind's oldest professions. And though it's not necessarily something you hope for your children to aspire to, it's always been a relevant topic in societal discussion.With Love Ranch opening this week, it seems only appropriate that we take a look at a few memorable Hollywood hookers who never fail to get us off:Vivian Ward – Pretty Woman
Chloe Moretz is back as another bloodthirsty tween in this teaser for Matt Reeves' Let The Right One In remake, Let Me In. Kodi Smit-McPhee stars as a bullied boy who befriends his new neighbor, a vampire child who keeps busy by eating members of the community. That's definitely a dick move, but not as bad as my neighbor who keeps stealing my parking space. That jerk deserves to be staked. LOOKS PRETTY SOLID TO ME.

Like everyone else in America, I've always had to endure the boastful claims of the state of Texas. From the "Don't Mess with Texas" slogan to awful Dallas Cowboys fans to the "Steers and Queers" line in Full Metal Jacket, Texans always seem to walk around like their poo-poos don't stink. Well guess what, Tex; you're not so tough after all! Cinemark has pulled the trailer for Paramount's "Paranormal Activity 2" from several theaters in Texas after receiving numerous complaints that the promo was "too" frightening. Well look at the scared little state of Texas pissing itself in the corner over a cheesy horror movie trailer. Pathetic. Why don't you run home to your "Friday Night Lights" and your "Austin City Limits," ya pansies! (Variety)
I'll take a one-way ticket to Bangkok, please.Ferris Bueller always said Principal Rooney was a bad guy. Turns out, he was right.Actor Jeffrey Jones, best known for his roll as Principal Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was arrested (again) for failing to register as a sex offender (again). Jones' sex-offender status stems from an incident in 2003 where the actor was caught with child pornography. He also paid a then 14-year-old boy, Cameron Frye, to pose for pornographic pictures.What makes this case so galling is that it all could have been avoided if Jones would have had enough consideration to explore his dark urges in Thailand, like a decent human being. For shame, Jeffrey. For shame.Now, please enjoy these out-of-context quotes from Jones' character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which are much funnier now that he's a known sex offender.

Hey Jeffrey Jones, I know you are, but what am I! Pee-Wee Herman (aka Paul Reubens) has at least one last big adventure left in him now that director Judd Apatow has announced he will produce the character's return to the big screen. The news comes nearly 20 years after an unfortunate incident involving a porno theater and his own wiener left Reubens a Hollywood pariah, all but killing the Pee-Wee character. Luckily for Reubens, society has finally devolved to the point where wanking off in a seedy porno theater no longer precludes one from being a children's entertainer. "Let's face it," says Apatow, "the world needs more Pee-Wee Herman. I am so excited to be working with Paul Reubens, who is an extraordinary and ground-breaking actor and writer. It's so great to watch him return with such relevance." I agree. We need more Pee-Wee. But relevance? I'm not sure feeding off of pathetic Gen-X nostalgia counts as relevance. Unless, of course, making boatloads of cash is the same as being relevant, in which case Pee-Wee is about to become one relevant mofo. (Empire Online)

C'mon, guys. The smoke bothers his eye.Hugo Cabret, or the movie formerly known as The Invention of Hugo Cabret, has begin filming, with Martin Scorsese stationed behind a 3D camera shout-stuttering, "I-I-I wantit in my face more!" Two more actors have signed on to put it in Scorese's face. Jude Law and Ray Winstone join the already cast Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfield, and Chloe Moretz.Christopher Lee, Helen McCrory, Frances de la Toru, and Richard Griffiths have also jumped into Hugo's sandbox. The film tells the tale of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. He finds a broken machine and gets caught up in a magical adventure. No drugs or execution-style hits are involved, and Joe Pesci won't force himself on any women. (/Film)
A Spider-Man is born.Marc Webb and Sony have finally selected a young actor to play Peter Parker from their list of young actors not quite right for the role of Peter Parker. According to a source at Blue Sky Disney Blog, Josh Hutcherson has been offered the role in Sony's Spider-Man reboot and he has accepted. Casting has been in the works for some time and after extensive test shoots, Hutcherson has come out on top. Bear in mind that there hasn't been an official press release from the studio at this time. So if this turns out to be wrong, pick a fight with Disney's army of lawyers.Apologies to Jamie Bell, Andrew Garfield, Frank Dillane, Logan Lerman, Alden Ehrenreich, and Anton Yelchin. You guys played a good game out there, but you still lost. No victory Baskin Robbins visit for you.
They're in Miami, bitch. The east coast was cold, making it impossible to cop a sweet tan, so MTV crated up the cast of "Jersey Shore" and shipped them to Miami for Season 2 of the decline of totally juiced western civilization.

Cocaine sales in South Beach are about to skyrocket. Check out the teaser after the jump…
Edgar Wright considers casting Vin Diesel.For those not in the know and too lazy to look it up, Ant-Man is a scientist who shrinks down to tiny size and controls the thoughts of ants via a special helmet. Yeah. Pretty dumb. So why is Edgar Wright making a movie about this? He undoubtedly has a golden touch, but can he turn Ant-Man into something watchable? Turns out, he hasn't given it too much thought.I haven't actually started the second draft yet–I'm not going to be able to until this film [Scott Pilgrim] is out–but what we wrote for the first draft, and what Marvel really liked, is that it's funny, but it's a genre film. It's about the level of comedy that Iron Man has. The idea is to make a high-concept genre film where it's within another genre. His suit and its power is the big gadget and it takes place in the real world. I just wanted to do something that was slightly different than the superhero origin film. I felt that between that and the various mad scientist, crazy doctor films that we've all seen, this would be a way into an origin that was slightly different. I'm not really a multi-tasker–I haven't done anything since Marvel liked our first draft.Word on the street is that Wright's first draft is amazing. I still think it's pretty dumb. Ants are really non-threatening unless you're planning to commit some kind of picnic-based heist. Or if you're lackadaisical when it comes to guarding your pee hole. And if that's the case, maybe you're just not well-suited for a life of crime. (Box Office Magazine)

Berman was a soldier, author, surgeon, newspaper columnist and medical consultant for several federal agencies.
He gained notoriety when he said in 1970 that women could not be leaders because of their "raging hormonal imbalances."
Berman was a native Baltimorean, born August 6, 1919. He graduated from Baltimore City College at the age of 16 and entered the University of Maryland at College Park on a tennis scholarship. During his sophomore year, friends convinced him to take the medical entrance exam at Maryland, and his score rated first place. The young Berman began medical school before his 18th birthday and graduated in 1939 at the age of 20. His surgical residency, from 1939 to 1943, was at Baltimore's Sinai, Lutheran, and Johns Hopkins hospitals.
Berman was a great admirer of the philosophy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, and ranked him as one of the top thinkers of the century. In 1960, he and Phoebe visited Schweitzer in Africa where they stayed for twelve months. In addition to helping Schweitzer with his work, Berman kept notebooks documenting their conversations. He later published a book about this brilliant man who had accumulated doctorates in medicine, theology, philosophy, and music. Their admiration was mutual, and the two corresponded regularly until Schweitzer's death in 1965.
In 1970, Berman uttered one of his most famous statements, resulting in his being targeted by the most prominent feminists of the time. During a meeting of the Democratic party's committee on national priorities, when Congresswoman Patsy Mink suggested that women's rights should be given the highest priority, Berman commented that "raging hormonal influences" during menstruation and menopause should preclude women from positions of executive power. "All things being equal," Berman said, "I would still rather have had a male JFK make the Cuban missile crisis decisions than a female of similar age who could possibly be subject to the curious mental aberrations of that age group."
Berman's final book, In Africa with Schweitzer, was published in 1986 and was based on his correspondence with the famous medical missionary and the detailed notes he had taken when they had worked together from 1960 to 1961. "I always wanted to write," Berman remarked in an interview. "I enjoyed medicine, and I think I made contributions, but I enjoy writing more than anything else I've ever done."
He died on November 25, 1987, at the age of 68.
Such the innovator, writer, many interests, am inclined toward Inventor Rational at moment. Good with comebacks. Doesn't seem the Tactical Intelligence of an Operator, more the abstract, but maybe Artisan.

Economic Recovery in Manufacturing, Construction and Selected Service Industries Publié le: 14/09/2010, Dernière mise à jour: 28/09/2010
- Auteur:
- DG Enterprise&Industry, Unit B2.
The latest data show that the rhythm of economic activity is further accelerating and the recovery in manufacturing industry continues, albeit at a moderating pace. Despite global uncertainty industrial confidence improves, but also shows some signs of a slow down.
Data on manufacturing production for June 2010 show growth of some 8% over the previous year and an improvement of some 2% over the last three months. The growth trend in manufacturing production has been positive since April 2009. However, June 2010 seasonally adjusted output was still some 13% below its former peak in early 2008. It also looks as if sectors affected most negatively in the downfall continue recovering the most rapidly in the present upswing. Moreover, the rebound is now also visible in construction which had experienced a very substantial fall of some 16% from its earlier peak. The latest data and forecasts for tourism indicate that the revival is underway in this sector as well. (...)
Nevertheless some factors still suggest that caution is still warranted about the dynamics of the economic recovery. These include the fragile macroeconomic conditions of the eurozone triggered by the sovereign debt problem, as well as uncertainty about fiscal consolidation, as well as subdued private consumption growth. Moreover, countries that suffered from the bursting of real estate bubbles are coming out of the economic crisis somewhat slower than the countries having suffered from a temporary collapse of manufacturing production.
