Ruby Sparks hits that sweet emotional spot much in the same way "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" does. While you are at once charmed by the whimsy and romance, there's still a gut punch of emotional rawness just waiting to be delivered.
Kazan has fun with a silly premise and smartly plays it straight when the occasion calls for it, while keeping the cutesy, fantastical extremes of the material at bay. It's less fairy tale than shrewd exaggeration on the pratfalls of desire.
Ruby Sparks doesn't try to pretend to be more than it is: a sleek, beautifully written and acted romantic comedy that glides down to earth in a gently satisfying soft landing.
Particularly memorable are scenes in which Calvin loses his cool as Ruby holds onto her calm. It all adds up to a movie that's sparklingly entertaining.
It's a good thing not to know where a film is going - we need surprises, we need to be spun around a few times - and Ruby Sparks, which is about a writer and his muse, but then becomes more about the muse and her writer, is happily just such a film.
Parts of Ruby Sparks are glowing and gentle. Others are harsh. Still others are wrenching. The transitions are expertly handled, never seeming jarring or inappropriate. If the movie feels like two shorter pieces grafted at the middle, that's an intentional decision. The filmmakers give us something approaching a traditional romantic comedy before deconstructing it.
As a whole, however, Ruby Sparks lands like a punch. It's a smart counter-jab to the many movies out there that put forth the myth that the world is full of quirky angels in ballet flats who are just waiting for some morose protagonist to come along in need of their love.
Ruby Sparks is a romantic comedy that takes off from a premise so fanciful it needs every bit of the freshness that Dano brings it.
Kazan brings to the role a sweet and dignified vulnerability, keeping rigorously to plausible human behaviour.
Six years after "Little Miss Sunshine," Dayton and Faris deliver a comedy that sparkles with wit and substance. But from the script to her portrayal of the title character, Ruby Sparks belongs to Zoe Kazan, who joins the likes of Sarah Polley and Brit Marling in the rarified ranks of actress/screenwriter double-threats.
Smart, literate and romantic, it's this year's (500) Days Of Summer, but with a few more shadows. Like Calvin, you'll find it hard to resist Ms Sparks.
With a performance that is wide-ranging by necessity, Kazan makes Ruby immensely likable (as well as clingy, manic, sad, happy and whatever else Calvin wants her to be).
This smart and sophisticated romp takes surprising directions as it examines the creative process of writing, the delicate balance of relationships, and the mysteries of men and women.
A beguiling romantic fantasy about the creative process and its potential to quite literally take on a life of its own, Ruby Sparks performs an imaginative high-wire act with finesse and charm.
There's little doubt that Kazan has written a sly, amusing portrait of male self-absorption and artistic tyranny.
The meta-fiction concept of characters interacting with their creator is hardly original, but it's neatly packaged here by Kazan herself, who wrote the script for this clever little charmer.
If Ruby Sparks doesn't warm you much or form a seamless whole, it's nevertheless got pieces that you can genuinely admire.
Much of the film is pure romantic comedy and a good one. Yet the filmmakers want it to be more.
Ruby Sparks is far from a landmark in the rickety pantheon of romantic comedy, and under the direction of Dayton and Faris it gnaws a little too hard on its magical-realist trickery. But it's great to see them help an emerging young writing talent like Kazan make her mark by by sweeping away male fantasies of pliant girls and replacing them with a desirable, flesh-and-blood woman.
The result is something you won't see coming. Don't look for sweet and embraceable. This movie is not afraid to show its claws. Like the spirited teamwork of Kazan and Dano, Ruby Sparks is honest, deep and true.
A movie about the power of the imagination really becomes a movie about a certain element of surrender - about the release of power - that is practically a requirement for loving somebody.
The setup is rote, almost insulting, but it's smarter than it looks: Once the pieces are in place, Kazan's script reveals a deeper game.
The fictional premise is used cleverly to illuminate the creative process and explore romantic minefields, and the appealing Ruby Sparks has a low-key, polished charm.
The movie's intriguing in its fanciful way, and there are times when both Calvin and Ruby seem uncannily like they're undergoing revision at the hands of some uber-writer above them both.
Succeeds as a satirical fantasy about writerly self-involvement, but it's worth celebrating as a testament to self-made greatness, particularly in regard to the efforts of writer/star Zoe Kazan.
There is a great deal of playfulness between the couple that will touch the romantic in most.
For a movie so bent on skewering illusions, Ruby Sparks ultimately can't entirely let go of its own.
It often feels as if the filmmakers expect us to be equally seduced by Ruby's wide-eyed winsomeness. That's a shame, as we can sense the deeper film beneath the surface. Because Ruby remains conceptual, this ambitious project lacks the dimension of the similarly meta-minded Charlie Kaufman projects that apparently inspired it.
Given the way the film consistently relies on the talented actor's left-of-center charms, you end up with a cake-and-eat-it-too critique: You get to acknowledge how one-dimensional the male fantasies of hot nerd-messiah chicks are while basking in exactly the same thing. Nice try.
The best stuff comes early in Ruby Sparks, which was written by Kazan (granddaughter of Elia) and directed by the husband and wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine).
Ruby Sparks doesn't. Spark, that is. Oh, the film is sprightly and wholehearted, sweetly in thrall to its bold central conceit, and endearing as a puppy with boundless energy. You want to like it. And you do. It's just that it never, you know, it never sparks.
It's a great metaphor - but not a great movie. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris direct in a drably naturalistic style, and the script is thin.
If Ruby were more of a person than a character, we might care more for her plight. But like Calvin, Kazan has written herself into a corner that can only lead to embracing the sappy romantic clichés that Ruby Sparks tries half-heartedly to mock.
What's good in the film, which was shot superbly by Matthew Libatique, is so good - so exuberant and touching and sweet - that you want the whole thing to be perfect, but Ruby Sparks is a closed system that gradually turns in on itself. There isn't enough of someone else.
It's mediocre and half-baked, with flashes of a potential good movie showing through here and there.
Ruby Sparks tries its damnedest to make a picture that seduces moviegoers into accepting it as their best imaginary friend forever. But the sweat shows more than the sparkle.
She (Kazan) also wrote the screenplay, which begs interpretation as a frustrated actress's commentary on the way that even ostensibly serious writers write women - that is, for maximum convenience. Still, the direction, from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine), is never more than workmanlike.
Has potential to be fun and meaningful, but it's not exactly a novel idea. In fact, it feels like a literary-minded "Lars and the Real Girl," the 2007 dramatic comedy that starred Ryan Gosling as a man who falls in love with a sex doll, and which coasted along on its charm and smarts.
The script is breezy, but neither of the two leads have the heft or charm to carry an entire feature-length film - separately or together.

It challenges perceptions and it really leaves you wondering if its all is really happening, and as it turns out, the movie doesn't even handle you the answers. Part of it being so great though, aside from the great acting, is its message. Everyone at some point has dreamed and conceived their perfect couple, in this case the perfect girlfriend, but the thing is, that their really isn't. There is no such thing as a perfect human being. The perfect human being is a creation of the imagination, a depended of our mind, one that because of that doesn't really love you. That is this movie in a nutshell, but it is how it plays with that concept that ultimately as weird as it undoubtedly is, manages to bizarrely stick in your mind for a long while. That at least, is what the movie left on me.… Full Review »

Very Glitchy and Incapacitated
Snapture was a marvel when it was released for the "altered" iphones a few years ago. This new incarnation still has a long way to go. Apart from the similar form factor, this app remains a hobbled copy of the original. It takes forever to load and if you quit the application without "saving" your photos, you'll be rewarded with a red indicator next to the icon on your homescreen telling you that you forgot to save them. When you return however, if you take additional photos, your old ones will be lost but the indicator will still be there. If you have OCD, seeing the indicator next to the icon will mortify you. I know I can't leave it be. I had to sync-erase the just to get a decent night's sleep. Color correction, focus shifting, many of the features you know and love (and have come to expect) from this app and made Snapture such an essential tool are all missing. What you can do, is digital zoom. Basically you can crop your photos smaller or take really pixelated photos for only $1.99. I hope Snapture Labs releases an update which addresses the bugs if nothing else. It's been a while since this app was released and they should have fixed the "saving" issue by now at the least.
Saving photos takes way too long!
Snapture has an impressive interface and features like being able to see thumbnails and easily email or delete photos on the fly is nice. My major complaint about this app is that is takes entirely too long to save the photos when you are ready to leave the app. I took 7 photos and it took over two and a half minutes for it to save them. This whole time you have to sit and wait for it to finish before you can close the app. Also, the in-app instructions as well as the apps pages on the app store indicate that the pictures will be automatically saved or you can press the save button to save them manually. However, in my testing the photos were never automatically saved. Finally, the image zoom is worthless because the images become noticeably pixelated if you use it. All in all this app is not worth the $3 price tag in my opinion.
I'm going to reiterate what several have already noted for a work-around (if you're still inclined to use this long-broken app)- DISABLE THUMBNAIL PREVIEW. Although you can't preview your pics anymore, it does eliminate "the blues".
That said, we should all be swamping Apple with complaints about what comes close to fraudulent advertising on Snapture Labs' part. As previously mentioned, the "Please be patient" warning has been posted for months. There is no specific information provided BY THE DEVELOPER to the unwitting consumer about the nature of the IOS4 issues- that seems to be left to the reviewers, apparently. There also does not appear to be a good faith effort on the part of the developer to fix the problem, yet this PAID app remains in the App Store. This app should be removed immediately from the App Store until it's fixed. I urge everyone out there with a complaint about this app and the developer's behavior to register their complaints with Apple. I know I am.

Honda Wants Many More Versions Of The NSX
We've heard rumors about an NSX Type-R in the pipeline but apparently Honda/Acura is pondering even more variants of their halo car platform. Racers, convertibles(?!) really everything a kid could want.
We've heard rumors about an NSX Type-R in the pipeline but apparently Honda/Acura is pondering even more variants of their halo car platform. Racers, convertibles(?!) really everything a kid could want.
Regular Car Reviews believes buying a stock NSX today is a better investment than betting on the stock market, and the world "timeless" starts with the letters N, S, and X.
The 2016 Acura NSX is nearly ready to hit the roads, and the fact that it's the most exciting car from Honda in a very long time has us all sorts of giddy. Now they've released all the technical details of their upcoming supercar. Will it be any good?
You. Hey, you. I'm going to skip over that angry sad sack over there mumbling about being forever alone, but you, there, person who accidentally slept through the only open track time all weekend (oops). Yes, you! Watch this NSX race car get flogged around at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Isn't that...better?
The Detroit Auto Show could really be summed up just by repeating Ford GT Ford GT and Ford GT until you run out of breath, but I still think the 2016 Acura NSX is a stunning supercar we should take a good look at now. Can it possibly be as great as the first one?
After years of teasing and a bunch of concept cars that look exactly like the final car, Honda/Acura announced that the production 2015 Acura NSX will debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month.
On Feb. 10, 1989, executives from Honda and a newly founded division known as Acura piled into a conference room in Chicago's historic Drake Hotel to rehearse the unveiling of an unbelievable new car—a Technicolor vision for the future, something never before built by Honda or any Japanese automaker.
The Honda NSX was a classic the day it was born. With its perfect proportions and those sleek lines, it is the archetype for the mid-engined sportscar.
With hypercars spilling out of Italy and England, it's all quiet on the NSX front. Why?
While the supercar world is buzzing away with LaFerraris, Venenos and P1's, Honda's NSX concept remains in its own alternate universe, where things move with slightly less urgency. The urgency, that is, of a glacier on downers.
The NSX may be older than the Czech Republic and have
a fraction of the horsepower of a whopping 945 hp compared to the Ring's latest darling, the 1,200-horsepower Koenigsegg Agera R, but here's what it can do in capable hands and under capable feet: a 7:56 lap.
Russian dict-, excuse me, President-elect Vladimir Putin is well-known for striking an incredible array of James Bond poses for the camera, including but not limited to driving a Formula One car and riding a trike with a gang of bikers.
When Ferrari introduced the 599 GTB at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, they introduced with it a graceful and elegant piece of aerodynamics: Gothic flying buttresses for C-pillars. They are gone on the F12 Berlinetta, the 599's just-unveiled successor, but Honda is here to pick up the slack with the NSX.
That blue tarp in the shape of a supercar reflected in the glare of Honda's teleprompter is the car we've been waiting about a hundred years for. It's the new NSX moments before its reveal! We're very pleased to be here with it too.
There are 22-year-old cars and then there is Honda's ethereal NSX, still as mellow and brutal, as sleek and industrial as back in the day when Ayrton Senna was still around to contribute his magic to its chassis.
Specifically, a yellow Acura NSX equipped with a snorkel, a diffuser, and a track pass. You figure it out. Just please don't leave it by a dumpster.
This Acura NSX is all alone in the big bad world, left next to some dumpsters to rot. Well, it can't actually rot since it's all aluminum, so like other supercars left to die across the Arabian peninsula, it's decorating yet another forsaken Dubai development.
Old surgeons don't necessarily lead a life of brown Buicks. This is Sid Watkins, Formula One's first race doctor, and his official red NSX.
According to Motor Trend, the Honda NSX lives. Even though the V10-powered post-NSX concept came along during the Carpocalypse and had to be killed, Honda engineers didn't completely shelve the project. They just built it on an Accord. Wait, what?

Poem Title:
I A washing hangs upon the line, but it's not mine. None of the things that I can see belong to me. The neighbors got a radio with an aerial; we got a little portable. They got a lot of closet space; we got a suitcase. I say, "Le Roy, just how much are we owing? Something I can't comprehend, the more we got the more we spend...." He only answers, "Let's get going." Le Roy, you're earning too much money now. I sit and look at our backyard and find it very hard. What have we got for all his dollars and cents? --A pile of bottles by the fence. He's faithful and he's kind but he sure has an inquiring mind. He's seen a lot; he's bound to see the rest, and if I protest Le Roy answers with a frown, "Darling, when I earns I spends. The world is wide; it still extends.... I'm going to get a job in the next town." Le Roy, you're earning too much money now. II The time has come to call a halt; and so it ends. He's gone off with his other friends. He needn't try to make amends, this occasion's all his fault. Through rain and dark I see his face across the street at Flossie's place. He's drinking in the warm pink glow to th' accompaniment of the piccolo.* The time has come to call a halt. I met him walking with Varella and hit him twice with my umbrella. Perhaps that occasion was my fault, but the time has come to call a halt. Go drink your wine and go get tight. Let the piccolo play. I'm sick of all your fussing anyway. Now I'm pursuing my own way. I'm leaving on the bus tonight. Far down the highway wet and black I'll ride and ride and not come back. I'm going to go and take the bus and find someone monogamous. The time has come to call a halt. I've borrowed fifteen dollars fare and it will take me anywhere. For this occasion's all his fault. The time has come to call a halt. *Jukebox III Lullaby. Adult and child sink to their rest. At sea the big ship sinks and dies, lead in its breast. Lullaby. Let mations rage, let nations fall. The shadow of the crib makes an enormous cage upon the wall. Lullaby. Sleep on and on, war's over soon. Drop the silly, harmless toy, pick up the moon. Lullaby. If they should say you have no sense, don't you mind them; it won't make much difference. Lullaby. Adult and child sink to their rest. At sea the big ship sinks and dies, lead in its breast. IV What's that shining in the leaves, the shadowy leaves, like tears when somebody grieves, shining, shining in the leaves? Is it dew or is it tears, dew or tears, hanging there for years and years like a heavy dew of tears? Then that dew begins to fall, roll down and fall, Maybe it's not tears at all. See it, see it roll and fall. Hear it falling on the ground, hear, all around. That is not a tearful sound, beating, beating on the ground. See it lying there like seeds, like black seeds. see it taking root like weeds, faster, faster than the weeds, all the shining seeds take root, conspiring root, and what curious flower or fruit will grow from that conspiring root? fruit or flower? It is a face. Yes, a face. In that dark and dreary place each seed grows into a face. Like an army in a dream the faces seem, darker, darker, like a dream. They're too real to be a dream.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

1 to 3 tablets daily. Place tablet under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly, altering the position of the tablet to avoid prolonged contact with the same area.

I have peripheal brain and nerve damage and this stuff relaxes my over sensitive nerves~! When stress hits also it has a very calming effect and I LOVE the peppermint taste:-) Thank you for awesome product!
I take this with 2.5 mg of melatonin nightly for sleep, with excellent results. I also take one if I know I'm heading into a stressful meeting or situation. Does not induce sleep at inappropriate times. I highly recommend it
This product delivers

I have tried many of the natural stress relievers. This one works the best. It's better than pharma GABA and other products in this category. If you take it to early in the day you will get tired, so best right before going home from work.
way too minty
Posted by Reviewer2870647 on Apr 03, 2014
I don't like this. The peppermint is very strong and bitter. Its also quite large and takes forever to desolve. I bought it for my daughter with autism and for myself to help with anxiety but have been unable to actually take it. Before I go out and try another kind I want to try to crush it and put it in water with stevia. Hopefully It'll work that way.
Posted by Reviewer2763945 on Jul 12, 2013
This works within 5-10 minutes to make me feel more relaxed. It is wonderful I am very surprised truth be told that it works!
Posted by truevitality on May 31, 2013
Great flavor and easily absorbed and works to calm anxiety

Serif Font Styles
Serifs are small strokes at the end of the main strokes of letters. They come in a variety of basic shapes: bracketed, slab, hairline, wedge, and combinations of these. The first roman typefaces in the late 15th century were seriffed. Until the mid-20th century seriffed typefaces dominated printing and design. Serif typefaces are generally preferred for lengthy texts such as books, magazines and newspapers.
Serif typefaces are divided into several subcategories in which the particular type of serif is a defining feature. Oldstyle typefaces?which reigned from the 1470s to the mid-18th century?have bracketed serifs. Some classic oldstyle typefaces include Centaur, Adobe Garamond, Adobe Caslon, and Times Roman. Modern (or neoclassical) typefaces, which first appeared in the 1780s, are noted for their hairline or serifs. Some famous examples are Linotype Didot and Bauer Bodoni. Slab serif typefaces are often called Egyptians, but those with geometric forms and unbracketed slab serifs are sometimes called square serifs. Giza is an Egyptian while Rockwell is a square serif. Wedge seriffed typefaces are called Latins (i.g. Latin Classic, Atlas, and Meridien). They are not as common as the other styles.

Mathew is beautiful, kind, has more passion then one can imagine, he's a best friend, he gives the best hugs in the world. He's a fighter for what he loves, he will walk miles just to see his other half, and most of all he has the most beautiful smile in the world. The most beautiful person one can meet.
Mathew? Yeah, he's amazing.
Yeah, he'll always be the one.

A sweet sensitive guy, who has lots of friends. But only a few are his close ones. Mathew has deep eyes that are easy to get lost in. He stays with his girlfriend/the one he loves for long time periods. He tells the truth to protect people and their well being. He's cute and there's always more then one girl who wants him.
"Go ask Mathew he'll know!"

He is handsome, intelligent, fun, funny, charming and sweet. He also has the most incredible eyes I have ever seen in my life, you can lose yourself in them, but he tends to be a jerk. Most of the time he thinks he's irresistable. I have known him for a while and denies it, ignorant and will probably ignore people that he doesnt like or is "obsessed with him" but i sill really like him xD

I'm currently trying to create a Facebook application with the Facebook PHP SDK.
I would like to retrieve which of the user's friends are his best friends, or the one he's most talking with.
Do you know an algorithm or a tip to get them?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I'm currently trying to create a Facebook application with the Facebook PHP SDK.
I would like to retrieve which of the user's friends are his best friends, or the one he's most talking with.
Do you know an algorithm or a tip to get them?
Simply, look for markers of friendship, give each activity a weight, total up the "friend score", and appropriate by the age of the friendship (if you're looking for a "lifetime" score). You could look at different timeframes, such as "recent best friends", etc.
I'm not phenomenally familiar with Facebook's Graph API, but if you could access the age of the friend and the number of comments/wall posts they exchange, you'd have some kind of information to go on. Think of other markers like the number of photos they're jointly tagged in, and so on.
I've ran into this same issue in the app I'm working on, and open-sourced the code I've used, albeit in Ruby:
This is a web service which takes an active access token & user id and (assuming a read_stream permission has been granted) returns a hash of ids to counts which can be used for sorting within your application.
The friend rank algorithm looks at a user's 500 most recent interactions (activity feed) and tallies up the frequency of all friends appearing there. The result gives a reasonable ordering of friends, best to worst, and it also works on subsets of friends (eg. sorting mutual friends).
As mentioned in other answers, there's lots of room for exploring photo tags, mutual friend counts, and also looking for the type of interactions (eg. a checkin with a friend is probably a better measure of closeness than a like on their status).
Here's a sample app using this approach and Friend Rank on the backend:
I quiet often need to get the list of people user is interacting most with ("best friends", in a Facebook terminology). Took a while to build the class and it is far from being perfect. However, this will save some time to people who are looking where to start.
The Jun 11, 2012 revision follows these rules to build friend score.

Command line user management
Linux is a multiuser system: many users can work at the same machine at the same time on separate accounts. In this month's column, we take a close look at how to create and manage Linux user accounts from the command line.
Multiuser systems neatly separate individual user workspaces. You can save your own files by assigning appropriate access privileges. The typical Unix/ Linux paradigm of having a separate account for administrative tasks (root) helps prevent the possibility of user errors that might otherwise take down the whole system.
The system administrator, root, is the boss of the whole system; a user needs root privileges to run the commands for setting up and managing user accounts that we will be looking at in this article. After discussing the most important configuration files, we will take an in-depth look at the useradd, usermod, and userdel tools, which allow us to create, manage, and delete accounts.

Thousands of Missourians from all corners of the state will converge on Columbia this coming weekend for Mizzou's football opener against a school many of them know little or nothing about — Murray State — not to be confused with Alabama. The highways will be filled with millions of dollars of SUVs with MU stickers, Tiger tails flying and Black and Gold clad Missourians eagerly awaiting the 2013 kickoff to a season with the usual hopes of seeing a winning team. Reality can set in within weeks.
It's a fall ritual in every state. It's a multibillion dollar enterprise in the country and still is considered a sport in which amateurs knock heads. Every season we read opinions that the players should be paid, at least for endorsements, since their talent exhibitions bring the colleges and universities stadiums-full of money.

I had wanted this clutch bag since I first saw it on the web site but could not really justify spending that amount of money. When I saw it had gone to half price in the sale I just had to have it. I am so pleased with it, it is a beautiful clutch and I shall feel so special when I use it. I am saving it's first outing for my Wedding Anniversary on 13/07/2014.

Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are often aggressive, commonly recur and are frequently lethal. TNBCs are defined by absence of the estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors. Therefore, common treatments are ineffective, and patients must be treated with more toxic chemotherapy. Although chemotherapy can be effective for early-stage TNBC, patients often progress to metastatic disease, in which cancer invades other tissues. Studies by Drs. Zhao and Wang found that PTEN, a protein that suppresses tumor growth, is largely absent in a large collection of samples of TNBC metastases. They have previously shown that PTEN-deficient cancers are sensitive to inhibition of the enzyme PI3K-p110-beta and block PTEN-deficient tumor growth. These findings led to a clinical trial with a PI3K-p110-beta selective inhibitor in patients with advanced cancer. In the coming year they will investigate PTEN-loss in TNBC metastasis, and evaluate the use of selective PI3K-p110-beta inhibitors to treat metastatic TNBC. They have developed a large cohort of patient-derived cancer models that closely mimic the behavior of patients' tumors, and will now screen for novel drug treatments to use in combination with PI3K-p110-beta inhibitors to treat metastases from PTEN-deficient TNBC. This study will focus exclusively on metastatic TNBC cancer, trying to find a way to save patients from this extremely lethal condition.
Zhigang Charles Wang received his MD from Shanghai Second Medical University in Shanghai, China and his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from New York Medical College. His resident training in pathology was completed at Rie-Jing Hospital in China and his post-doctoral training occurred at the Center for Blood Research at Harvard Medical School and at the National Institute for Dental Research. At the latter, he served as Senior Staff Fellow. Dr. Wang is an active member of the American Association for Cancer Research and currently an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham & Women's Hospital.
Dr. Wang's research is interested in the genetics of breast cancer, with a particular focus on the heterogeneity of the disease which he studies through detailed mapping of chromosomal lesions and analysis of genes critical for its pathogenesis. He has worked closely with other BCRF grantees, Drs. Andrea Richardson and James D. Iglehart, to discover the high genetic instability and signature chromosomal alterations of a highly malignant subtype of breast cancer (the basal-like tumor). He has also discovered a significant association between copy gain of chromosome 8q22 and distant metastasis in breast cancer patients that received post-surgery chemotherapy. Furthermore, studies are underway to identify critical genes in this chromosomal region as therapeutic targets and prognostic markers.
Recently, he became interested in the genetic similarities between serous ovarian cancer and basal-like breast tumors. In collaboration with Drs. Ross Berkowitz and Ursula Matulonis at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he has begun a comprehensive genomic analysis of breast and serous ovarian cancer to discover the common chromosomal alterations and genes critical for the pathogenesis of both diseases.

The Rock Hall of Fame Seeks Its Groove
By BRUCE WEBER
Published: April 21, 1999
CLEVELAND— THERE is some argument over the first rock-and-roll song, the first use of the term ''rock-and-roll,'' the site of the first rock-and-roll concert. ''But there is absolutely no dispute about the first rock-and-roll film,'' Terry Stewart said. ''It was 'Blackboard Jungle.' ''
The 1955 film, directed by Richard Brooks, about a New York City high school teacher (played by Glenn Ford) and his class of student hooligans (Vic Morrow, Sidney Poitier and Jamie Farr, among others, was notable for two reasons. It was Hollywood's first serious treatment of anarchic urban schools, and it had Hollywood's first rock soundtrack, including Bill Haley and the Comets' ''Rock Around the Clock.''
O.K., a lot of pop culture mavens probably know that. It's a good trivia question. But knowing the answer doesn't exactly qualify you to be, as Mr. Stewart is, the new executive director of the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame and Museum here.
''But do you know the second rock-and-roll film?'' Mr. Stewart asked. He added a clue: ''It's never been released.''
It was, he said, a 1956 film called ''Pied Piper,'' depicting a concert here and featuring Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and the Four Aces. ''The headliner,'' Mr. Stewart said, savoring a punch line, ''was Pat Boone.''
He chuckled, satisfied. A trim-bearded man with a brisk manner and a palpable sense of hip, Mr. Stewart, 53, took over the reins of the Rock Hall (as it is known locally) in January. The former president of the Marvel Entertainment Group (the comic book publisher, which he helped to expand into theme parks and theme restaurants), he has the right resume for a place in need of additional revenue streams.
But this is pop culture, after all, and it's a good sign for an institution as idiosyncratic as this one that he is also a glib rock-and-roll guy, someone who, with one historical tidbit, can promote the Rock Hall's various constituents -- individual record-selling artists, the music as a whole and Cleveland itself. Any new museum needs to find its way, of course, carving an image with a collection, and for a music museum this becomes even more complicated. Where is the focus? On the artists? The artifacts? The social history that the music both influenced and was influenced by? The past or the present?
To its credit and its detriment, the Rock Hall, which opened in an I. M. Pei-designed pyramid in September 1995 after a decade of fund-raising, has tried to do a little of everything. It has succeeded in some ways (almost everyone thinks the exhibits devoted to the early influences on rock are both historically responsible and effective) and has fallen short in others.
The permanent collection, for example, leans more toward exalting than informing. ''Their energy, their spectacle and most importantly their music has set the standard for all others to follow,'' reads a plaque accompanying an exhibit of Rolling Stones artifacts.
''We've focused on looking at the music through the artists,'' said Jim Henke, the chief curator. ''We can do more to look at how the music has affected society and the kids who listen to it.'' The hall's best effort in that regard, he said (and most critics have agreed), was an exhibition last year called ''The Psychedelic Era,'' which focused on the late 1960's. An exhibition on hip-hop culture, scheduled for later this year, is aiming at a similar mix of music, history and sociology.
Still, it is an energetic place, indisputably entertaining, cacophonous with sound, dizzying with imagery. And, in any case, the development of the collection has been almost the least contentious of its concerns.
AMONG other quirks, the Rock Hall has two separate boards (the founding one in New York, which represents the interests of the music industry, and a local one here, mostly concerned with generating tourism and redevelopment momentum), which have feuded intermittently. Some New York members, particularly Jann Wenner, the publisher of Rolling Stone magazine, have involved themselves in museum operations, and some Cleveland members are resentful that the institution's most visible annual event, the induction ceremony, has been held in New York and Los Angeles, but never here.
Attendance, though expected to drop after the first year, has slipped more than anticipated. Since Dennis Barrie, the director who saw the museum through its opening, left after persistent disagreements with Mr. Wenner over things like museum operations and the presentation of exhibits, there have been three directors in less than four years. None of them were especially immersed in the history of pop culture or had a particular affinity for rock music.
''We're still trying to figure out who we are,'' said Robert Santelli, the Rock Hall's vice president in charge of educational and public programs.
But when Mr. Stewart came aboard, the collective sigh from board members and museum employees alike was audible. ''We were without leadership, without competence,'' Mr. Wenner said. ''Terry is a gift from heaven.''

Patterns of gentrification vary by city, and the spread of gentrified areas is partly determined by the city's predominant development form and the historic levels of African-American populations within them. Gentrification is a nuanced phenomenon along these characteristics, but most people engaged in any gentrification fail to acknowledge the nuances. read more »

The Problem With Being Global
The globalization of cities and their elites often comes at the expense of many of the people who live there. Forced to compete with foreign capital and immigrant workers, native-born residents of cities from Los Angeles and London to Singapore often feel displaced, becoming strangers in what they thought was their own place. read more »
Beyond Polycentricity: 2000s Job Growth (Continues to) Follow Population
The United States lost jobs between 2000 and 2010, the first loss between census years that has been recorded in the nation's history. The decline was attributable to two economic shocks, the contraction following the 9/11 attacks and the Great Recession, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Yet, even in this moribund job market, employment continued to disperse in the nation's major metropolitan areas. read more »

A Look at College Degree Migration
Net migration of people to or from metro areas is reported annually by the Census Bureau and widely discussed. Less well known is that their American Community Survey (ACS) provides migration figures broken down by characteristics such as race, age, income, and educational attainment. This lets us drill into finer grained details about who is moving where.
Here is a map of net migration of people with a bachelor's degree or higher, based on data from the 2007-2011 ACS, with blue indicating net migration gains and red net migration losses: read more »

Integrating Immigrants: Outcomes Not Attitudes Matter
Many modern economies struggle with integrating foreign-born into their labor markets. In particular, low-skilled immigrants from poor countries experience high unemployment and a range of related social problems. Much has been written about the extent of the problem. In many Western European cities, entire communities of migrants are living in social and economic exclusion. The state of poverty is often persists among their children. read more »

Boomers: Moving Further Out and Away
There have been frequent press reports that baby boomers, those born between 1945 and 1964, are abandoning the suburbs and moving "back" to the urban cores (actually most suburban residents did not move from urban cores). Virtually without exception such stories are based on anecdotes, often gathered by reporters stationed in Manhattan, downtown San Francisco or Washington or elsewhere in urban cores around the nation. Clearly, the anecdotes about boomers who move to suburbs, exurbs, or to outside major metropolitan areas are not readily accessible (and perhaps not as interesting) to the downtown media. read more »
In the Future We'll All Be Renters: America's Disappearing Middle Class
An Excerpt from Joel Kotkin's Forthcoming book The New Class Conflict available for pre-order now from Telos Press and in bookstores September, 2014.
In ways not seen since the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, America is becoming a nation of increasingly sharply divided classes. Joel Kotkin's The New Class Conflict breaks down these new divisions for the first time, focusing on the ascendency of two classes: the tech Oligarchy, based in Silicon Valley; and the Clerisy, which includes much of the nation's policy, media, and academic elites.
The Proleterianization of the Middle Class
From early in its history, the United States rested on the notion of a large class of small proprietors and owners. "The small landholders," Jefferson wrote to his fellow Virginian James Madison, "are the most precious part of a state." To both Jefferson and Madison, both the widespread dispersion of property and limits on its concentration—"the possession of different degrees and kinds of property"—were necessary in a functioning republic. read more »

Indonesia protests boat push-back policy
Tensions have once again flared between Indonesia and Australia over asylum seeker policy after a boat that was pushed back from Christmas Island by the Royal Australian Navy ran out of fuel off Indonesia.
Jewel Topsfield is Fairfax's Indonesia correspondent. She is an award-winning journalist who has been with Fairfax Media for 10 years. Most recently, she was education editor at The Age for five years. Prior to that she was the launch deputy editor of the National Times, Fairfax's online opinion site. She also spent three years in the Canberra Press Gallery covering immigration, education, the environment and water.
Tensions have once again flared between Indonesia and Australia over asylum seeker policy after a boat that was pushed back from Christmas Island by the Royal Australian Navy ran out of fuel off Indonesia.
Australia will restart talks on a trade agreement with Indonesia early next year as part of a push to strengthen economic ties between the two neighbouring countries.
Indonesia is buoyed by Malcolm Turnbull's experience and the Australian government's plan to send a minister to the archipelago every month.
Indonesia appears to be moving towards an annual figure for the import of live cattle with an upbeat Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce announcing "I know the outcome but I am not going to say what it is" following a meeting in Jakarta.
Agriculture minister does a deal with an Indonesian minister famous for her policy of blowing up illegal fishing boats.
Trade Minister Andrew Robb is proceeding with a planned trip to Indonesia this weekend in an indication he is confident of retaining his ministerial position despite voting for Tony Abbott in the party room ballot this week.
Australia has a responsibility to address the humanitarian crisis in the Bay of Bengal because it is a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees, according to the Indonesian government.
The Australian government may have first announced its cuts to foreign aid six months ago, but in Indonesia they are widely perceived as a reprisal for the Bali nine executions.
Australian embassy officials in Jakarta have been called to a meeting with the Indonesian Ministry of foreign affairs.
Schools are not devoting sufficient time to literacy and numeracy in the early years of primary school because the national curriculum is too overcrowded, according to a review released today.

Top 8: Manly Turkey RecipesThis article is sponsored in part by Heineken (What's this?)
For better or for worse, turkey is the go-to holiday protein. It's a tricky bird to get right. It dries out easily and it's so entrenched in the conventions of holiday eating that it's hard to come up with a way to serve it that isn't soul-crushingly boring. Hard -- but not impossible.

Feb 11, 2014This movie sucked my asian stiffy.....................................................................................................................
Oct 14, 2014GREAT AND EMOTIONAL MOVIE. I think people should watch the movie before judging it, I personally don't care what he did or is willing to do, I am not even a fan but when I see something good I rate it accordingly not with jealousy.
Jan 23, 2014Justin Beiber really shines through in this fantastic movie. My boyfriend Chad and I had a great time laughing and crying in the theater. One of the best films I've ever seen, it's even better than Kung Pow- Enter The Fist. I'm just sad we didn't get to see more Justin's body in the movie. His abs are amazing and I want to lick them. Definitely earns a 10 out of 10.
Jan 23, 2014Justin Bieber is too hot for this game to be reviewed anywhere under a 10, people need to stop being so jelly of how hot he is. His abs are over the top. I laughed, i cried, i shat my pants.
10/10: effects 10/10: Abs 10/10: hotness
Dec 25, 2013Great movie. My whole family enjoyed it very much! You should go see it whether you're a fan or not. It brought me to tears and the message behind it is for everyone
Dec 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw it ealier.....I loved it so much.. People should really go watch it even though they don't like him...Its was awesome!!!I love how the show Avalana..which name me cry ....So like Justin Bieber or not.. Its a good movie to watch and it might change your mind about him… Expand
Dec 26, 2013I looooved this one I think that Justin is misunderstood, he is in fact a wonderful kid and his good deeds should overcome all the negativity and the he's been getting from everyone lately. His new album is splendid, you can tell its straight from the heart and in a good balanced world people wouldn't give him such a hard time. He deserves good things. Very nice job Justin and Jon m Chu
Jan 27, 2014its very gudi and bad at the seime taime veryyyy boring and very entusiasmatic baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad movie but i loooooooooooooooooooove it but i hate it and its very good but justin bieber is a delinquente and i love him he is my idol and very bad at singing
Dec 25, 2013This movie shows how much of a great kindhearted person Justin is. He is a very hard working person and it shows how he is handling what's going in with his life I really do recommend this movie it's truly inspiring and a must watch
Dec 30, 2013How about people actually people seeing the movie before they judge it? All I see are biased statements from people who know him only from the overblown reports in gossip sites with out acturally seeing the whole movie, not just a review. This movie may not be perfect but it shows the human side of probably the top star in pop today.
Dec 26, 2013In this movie, Believe, you see a different side of Justin Bieber. In the press, you see a kid making mistakes, being criticized by the world. But in this movie, you see a kid living his dream. I would recommend this film to everyone I know. He is a sweetheart, and the entire movie is inspiring.
Dec 26, 2013Such a great movie. I really liked it so much. It shows how humble & great person Justin Bieber is. And he actually accepts his mistakes and explain his reactions. At the end, he's a human being and people should allow him to make mistakes and learn about them. Sometimes when many people are waiting to fail and then judge you, it's really hard to make things in the right way but JustinSuch a great movie. I really liked it so much. It shows how humble & great person Justin Bieber is. And he actually accepts his mistakes and explain his reactions. At the end, he's a human being and people should allow him to make mistakes and learn about them. Sometimes when many people are waiting to fail and then judge you, it's really hard to make things in the right way but Justin knows about all of this and he's really a good person.
