Welcome everybody I'm Liz MacDonald in for Neil Cavuto -- president talks up.
How to reduce the deficit and avoid automatic spending cuts.
We're just -- -- today that our budget deficit will top eight iron -- billion bucks this fiscal year.
And that's even with massive tax heights and assuming that those spending cuts -- kick -- to do.
-- congressman Tom price he is pushing the president.
To balance -- budget and says that this new report is proof we can't do that just by hiking taxes.
Sir what about that that we just have been hiking taxes already and we're so going to be.
-- -- -- Into the -- Well list thanks so much good to be way to the fact of the matter is is that the president has put forward for different budgets over the past four years.
None of which have ever come to balance.
With the house Republicans have acted responsibly over the last two years our budgets actually get to balance albeit in a longer period of time so what we're gonna do.
This year we're gonna put forward a budget that balances within a ten year period of time.
All that the bill that we're gonna have on the floor tomorrow does is -- say the president.
Tell us when your budget balances is it ten years is it twenty years is it fifty years is it never.
When did your budget balance it's important to do that because.
We need to be able to contrast are positive principled solutions with the president's programs that actually don't solve the problem -- say the president's budget doesn't.
Date when the budget would be imbalances that it.
Well in fact the last four as you know we've had trillion dollar deficit each of the last four years.
And the past four budgets by this president.
Have never coming to balance ever in the 75 year time frame that we talk about budgets so the American people need to know that it's important that they know that.
It's actually important that the president admits that.
Because then we're -- will be able to talk about the positive solutions that will put on the table and the programs that the president believes don't need to be.
Strengthened or saved or reformed or restructured.
In order to make it so that they are able to us apply the American people.
Still under this White House and I wouldn't be surprised that viewers out there feel like that congressman -- stuck in this ever rerun of the same movie that they're stuck gonna look to get a kick it out of it.
And you know at an event the issue is is that the president wants is now about his legacy he has been positioning himself to be -- Ronald Reagan type reformer.
He's acting more like an LBJ Nixon big hubris big government spend there sure and now we have the high cost of affordable care cut health care coming in.
How does this square with what the president's been saying.
Tax increase after tax increased after tax increase haven't -- the president -- any problem and policies is that the solution is by raising taxes on somebody.
And you and I both know Liz and your listeners know that -- your viewers know.
That when you increase taxes on on the American people in the way that it's been done -- actually get decreased economic activity.
The economy can't grow it can't be -- -- can't thrive it can't create jobs and dreams are destroyed when you when you increase taxes that we have done.
And what you also point out -- is is that taxes for -- that americans' sense of self reliance but you know.
I say about that new CBO report that says we're gonna be still later we're right billion in debt I think -- about the -- want to know why congressman.
And this is this is what I'm getting at the Saint Louis Federal Reserve has already said.
CBO is salt unreliable back in the year 2000 they said we would be in surplus that we would basically wipe out that what was at that time about -- we have -- deficit.
By two -- -- we will wipe out the CBO was utterly wrong at that.
And the you know the Saint Louis but says hey what's more reliable -- the the random walk model that's used on Wall Street depict.
Stocks any real effective but isn't the CBO report.
And I'm upset about this is that it underpins tax policy and regulatory -- -- right so why -- in the same report year to year that is so way off the mark.
-- you're right you're spot on -- in fact what we try to do through our Budget Committee is to make certain that we put in place positive reforms.
For the congressional budget office for the CDO.
So that they aren't and they -- hamstrung by the rules that they currently operate under its not their fault that they aren't able to provide appropriate predictions because.
We in congress have have given them.
Four rules that they must follow so we need to get to -- something you know dynamic scoring make certain that that they can.
Determine whether or -- it if the government does this.
How does that affect the economy dynamic -- how many jobs are created does that increase revenue of the federal government and a pro growth way.
Those are the kinds of things that they need to be able to look at and right now they're precluded by law from being able to do so.
Right they basically have to stick to the models that say policies will never change in Washington.
They've started congressman that the same -- policies will be in place that in years going -- that it.
That's exactly right infected and it's so crazy that that they they predict that the that the federal government will spend 700 billion dollars or thereabouts.
In Iraq and Afghanistan over the next ten years and they are required by law to be able to do it to say that and and into include that in the budget when in fact all of us know that that's not gonna be the case it's garbage in garbage out well represented -- top prize.
You're with the but near the Budget Committee vice chairman always good to hear honest straight talk from a congressman you always bring it thank you so much Cheryl Fletcher Christian sub --

Love it or hate it, the subway system in New York is still the cheapest and easiest way for anyone to get around town. MetroCard prices have been on the rise for years with not a whole lot of improvement on the trains themselves. Even catching a train in Manhattan can take what seems like forever when 5 minute waits turn into 20 minute waits. Forget Brooklyn and Queens. Pack some food and a small survival kit because you may never get back to the outer boroughs if you're relying on one train. We've come to love and rely on our subway system, despite it's shortcomings, but it would be great to know if or when we could give up on one train and catch another.
Users will know the app is accurate because Seetra.in's creators will be working closely with the MTA, which has hoped to make transportation data publicly available for some time. The HTML5 creation was shown off last weekend at PDF: Applied and though it's still in beta its creators are hoping to have a fully functional version available soon.

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
When a North Carolina Supreme Court decision shuts down online sweepstakes parlors on Thursday, it also will shut down a revenue stream to cash-hungry city governments.
Statewide, an estimated 900 parlors will be required to shut their doors by 11:30 a.m. Thursday. That will be 20 days after the state Supreme Court's unanimous ruling that the games were not protected as free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
And when the glittering lights and computer-generated bells and whistles stop, so does a business that provided millions of dollars to municipal budgets across the Cape Fear region.
Statewide, it also will erase jobs for more than 10,000 people, leaving parlor operators with shuttered operations, millions of dollars in equipment and leases on commercial space they can no longer use.
Across the Cape Fear region, money collected as fees, taxes and special licenses range by town from a few thousand dollars to about $1.4 million.
"It's been a nice benefit for our budget," said Mark Stephens, the finance director for Dunn.
Dunn received more than $160,000 in license payments from about 150 gaming machines within the city limits in 2012.
In Fayetteville, Hope Mills and Spring Lake, the decision will shut down an estimated 6,000 machines. Hope Mills, which licenses 11 parlors and more than 200 machines, will lose nearly $350,000.
"Owing to the uncertainty of that revenue, we hadn't used it in our budget," said Hope Mills Finance Director Scott Edwards. "We did use it to help with litigation on the Hope Mills dam, but losing it won't require any cutbacks to this year's budget."
The numbers were even greater in Fayetteville. According to city spokesman Nathan Walls, the city will receive an estimated $1.4 million in licenses, taxes and machine fees in 2012.
Walls said Fayetteville previously had not relied on those revenues to balance the city budget.
As of November, there were 36 parlors licensed in the city, each paying $2,000 for a location and an additional $2,500 per machine.
Hope Mills has a similar fee structure: $2,000 per parlor and $1,500 per machine. Spring Lake charges $500 per site and $500 per machine.
"It was money that helped cities like ours balance their budgets," Stephens said. "We were able to get a few more things taken care of.
"It wasn't money you counted on for budgeting, since there have been legal challenges all along," he said, "but it made things a little bit easier."
Smaller towns across the region also will be hit. Clinton Finance Director Shawn Purvis estimates the city will lose up to $80,000.
"It isn't money that we lose immediately," Purvis said. "It won't affect this year's budget. But it will certainly be felt next year."
In the Cape Fear region, dozens of parlors and standalone machines were located in unincorporated areas, where state law exempted them from fees. In addition, some towns had yet to charge the special use licenses that generated thousands of dollars.
"It won't change things here at all," said Sanford Finance Director Melissa Cardinali. "We hadn't begun charging additional fees."
The money in community coffers is a trickle, compared with the profits for game operators. The Internet Based Sweepstakes Organization estimated the industry-generated revenue in North Carolina may top $1 billion in 2012.
It also provides employment for more than 10,000 according to Doug Guy, who owns several parlors in the area, including the Triple S Internet Cafe in Hope Mills.
"When it's gone, it's gone," he said. "It will put our employees out of a job. If they tell us to close on Thursday, we have no choice.
"It's very frustrating. You'd like to think the state would use common sense," Guy said. "With the state in need of money, with governments getting ready to lose millions of dollars - they're just going to miss out on millions."
The industry enjoyed explosive growth following the ban of video poker machines in North Carolina in 2007. Inventive businesses began selling time on machines that were connected to the Internet.
When customers purchased time, usually in $1 increments, they were connected to sweepstakes games. The argument was that in buying time to see the results of these games, customers weren't gambling - the games were simply entertainment.
When the state legislature outlawed such machines in 2010, the video game industry sued, claiming the games qualified as free speech, and therefore could not be banned. An appellate court agreed in a split decision, sending the issue to the state Supreme Court.
Writing for the court in December, Justice Robin Hudson said the games could be banned because they amount to gambling, not speech.
"States have exercised the police power to regulate gambling," Hudson noted. "These systems ... give rise to the same concerns as traditional gambling."
Last week, International Internet Technologies, a sweepstakes software developer, announced it was appealing the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Guy was hopeful that, pending that decision, the parlors could continue running, at least for a while.
"It's a wait-and-see situation," Guy said. "Our lawyers may not have time to get things done. But we'll be working up to that last minute possible."
Stephens said the decision puts local governments in a bind, as well.
"I'd say the situation is fluid," he said. "We'll have to wait and see how that decision goes."
Edwards agreed, saying that Hope Mills was wise not to rely on the fees.
"They may appeal the ruling," he said. "And I've heard that they may rewrite the software to meet the new rules.
"Things can change," Edwards said." If they do come back, we'll remain ready."

Preemptive right
Right of existing shareholders in a corporation to purchase newly issued stock before it is offered to others. The right is meant to protect current shareholders from dilution in value or control. Preemptive rights, if recognized, are usually set forth in the corporate charter. Shareholders will usually be issued a subscription warrant, which indicates how many shares of the newly issued stock they are entitled to buy, typically pro rata percentage of current ownership.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The right of a shareholder in a corporation to have the first opportunity to purchase a new issue of stock of that corporation in proportion to the amount of stock already owned by the shareholder.

probably the most famous one in indigo league, james' 'inflatables' in beuty and the beach. that was disturbing...
Meowth and Oshawott falling in love with a male purrloin
also when Ash James and Brock are stuck beneath rocks in "A Hole lotta trouble" and they try to lift them it looks like they're, erm, doing something else
Meowth's visions of Giovanni could get disturbing.
Current Shiny Hunt: -----
I have claimed Funky Kong and Super Mario Sunshine!
I have a Fairy Type Safari with Kirlia, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy!
Thanks Lost Requiem
I'd say Sabrinas mini-arc, I couldn't sleep for a week after that.
the main irritation occurs to me for Meowth and Oshawot as they have pretty much changed their nature and are in love with a male thats a real shock to me
When Brock chases after Ash in a not even at his best crossdressing looks in AGXD Why not chase after Ashley back in Kanto? HA. Funny yes but such a thing as too much for Brocko.
Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama. Endou fan-Inazuma Eleven.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
Sabrina and her creepy doll. O_O
When Brock very creepy-like wiggled his fingers in at ash in the Mr. Mime episode, and started talking in a menacing voice...

Ghost at Maiden's Peak scared me when I was little.
Although looking back, I definitely wouldn't count it as disturbing.
Sabrina was kind of disturbing, though.
Agreed, Sabrina was creepy.
That, and Meowth's Giovanni fantasies... *shudder*
The Ghost of Maiden's Peak was scary, but I liked it.
The 3rd Movie is disturbing.
(All of these are opinions.)
I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this into your sig if you are too.
I *checks other posts* third this. These are just creepy at times.
The fact that a building filled with scientists exploded in the first movie. Talks of God is a big no-no, but a large explosion with no implications the scientists ever escaped is a-okay. Though it also doesn't make sense because they didn't give us the origin story involving Amber-two until Mewtwo Returns. Which also has a disturbing moment where Mewtwo looked to be ready to explode.
There's more, but I'd have to go on TV Tropes to look for a better piece of nightmare fuel from the anime.

Talk more about the political fallout from Wisconsin exit polls -- giving us some inside the power of the Tea Party highlighted with supporters there overwhelmingly voting for Governor Walker over mayor Tom -- 92 to 7%.
Perhaps no surprise there.
What it comes to the race for the White House -- President Obama still leads among voters who were polled last night he gets 51%.
To governor Romney's 44%.
And those voters also giving the president a narrow edge on the handling of the economy with President Obama leading governor Romney 42 to 38%.
Let's talk about it all now with a Rich Lowry the editor of the national review and a Fox News contributor.
Why did Scott Walker win last night rich well I think the biggest thing John it was that his reforms were.
Seem to have worked -- -- when he initially passed them and there is this convulsion of controversy.
And Madison and all the protesters.
-- approval rating plummeted.
But over the last year and a half -- so.
People scene that these reforms and power localities to make sensible cutbacks in the way they did business ironically his opponent a recall election -- Milwaukee.
Mayor Tom Barrett used those reforms to save an estimated ten million dollars so that was just a huge benefit to walker he talked about that everywhere he went.
And then John another big factor is just the recall itself was seen.
As slightly illegitimate the -- -- poll says that people thought the recall should really be reserved.
Four instances of gross official misconduct.
And a lot of he would this perceived this as a revenge tactic.
Vital left and it backfired in a major -- one of the surprising figures to me as we took those fox exit polls was the relative -- level of support.
The both candidates enjoyed among union members and we can put that up on the screen right now.
The Scott Walker didn't win the union vote but he did pretty well 38%.
To -- at 62%.
What does that tell.
Yes his real split between the public sector and the private sector unions and -- and private sector union members that tells us.
Are prone to view the public sector unions is taking advantage is of privileges.
That no one else had -- now's the key thing here the public sector unions are you know -- protecting our rights I think most people saw these things.
As privileges you know paying a really small amount.
Into their pensions are really small amount for their health care much less than anyone else and that the private sector.
Does and I think John it one of the key takeaways for Republican reformist Republican governors around the country.
Is you don't necessarily need to go -- whole hog the way Scott Walker did if you do one thing.
An end to mandatory dues -- public sector unions -- -- huge hit.
Because that -- a couple key public sector unions and last year and a half it's seeing drastic reductions in their membership.
Just because the state is no longer collecting their dues for them and that's another privileged to state doesn't collect dues for most other organizations.
Right right because a lot of those unions.
Have shrunk dramatically because -- dues collection is not mandatory correct asked me is gone down by -- lost about 50%.
I was membership but we also saw that in Indiana where Mitch Daniels did something similar.
By executive order said state of Indiana is no longer in -- collected.
And that also we saw a drastic reduction in membership in those unions in Indiana so just shows if these union members themselves are not forced.
Pony up their.
That's gonna change or will what Wisconsin remain a blue state come November.
Well I think it's going to be much closer to 2002004.
Aware Democrats won Wisconsin but it was just buy -- -- and we're not gonna see President Obama waltzing to a -- big double digit win.
And the way he did in 2000 -- itself.
Romney victory by no means guaranteed in Wisconsin but it's going to be a battleground all right Rick Rich Lowry from the national review rich thank you thanks --

Kate Allt is a news reporter with KTVO
OTTUMWA, IOWA -- A local group dedicated to the health and well-being of animals made a donation to a very important canine in the Ottumwa community.
Shariek is the Ottumwa Police Department's K-9 officer, and Tuesday night at Main Street Ottumwa's "Soup and the Scoop" event, John Hartley of HOGS4DOGSUSA donated a Kevlar vest to the department for Shariek to wear.
The donation has been months in the making.
"Last year at the home show, we were talking to Chief Clark, asking him about a flack jacket for the K-9 officer, he said he didn't have one," Hartley said. "The city budget - they'll run anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 - the city just doesn't have the money to do it, so we started putting things together for it and talking to some of our riders and they thought it would be a great cause."
Hartley said they bought the vest from a manufacturer out of California, and presenting it at the event Tuesday night was especially great because it introduced the mission of HOGS4DOGSUSA to a new crowd of folks who may not have known what the group was all about.

The St. John's University Debate Society reached their final debate placing third this past weekend at the United States Universities National Championship tournament held on the campus of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
The team of Nipun Mahajan and Kamya Chandra bested 156 other teams from all over the United States and Europe to participate in the final round to determine the 2012 National Champion in Worlds format debating. St. John's defended the motion, "This house believes the coming U.S. cuts to defense spending will make the world a better place." The Final Round consisted of teams from University College Dublin, Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Yale University.
University College Dublin won the final debate, but since they are not from an American institution, they could not qualify to become the U.S. champion. That title went to Hobart and William Smith Colleges, with Yale and St. John's University as runners up.
Debaters from all across the U.S. participated in the tournament, including the University of Alaska, Humboldt State University, The University of Vermont, University of La Verne, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the University of Michigan, Cornell University, Loyola Marymount University, Grove City College and many others.
Tim Barr, Logan Gomez, Elkhansaa Farhane, and Nelson Kezoh also represented St. John's University. The team was also accompanied by Directors of Debate, Dr. Steve Llano and Dr. Jaime Wright, who judged and critiqued debates throughout the entirety of the competition.
The St. John's Debate Society currently sits as third in the United States, second among Northeastern universities and 98th in the world. This championship concluded the 2012 competitive season, and the society will be back in action in September.
For more information, or to participate in the Debate Society, please contact Dr. Llano at email@example.com or stop by St. John Hall, Room 203.
Interested media can contact Dominic Scianna, Assistant Vice President for Media Relations by calling (718) 990-6185 or e-mail inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Beaded Lace Corset with Gathered Satin Overlay Style 9T9315
Dream Dress
I fell in love with this dress while it was on the hanger. Once I had it on I knew my search was over. The corset top was amazing. It made the hour glass shape every bride dreams of. The detail was amazing and dress weight was comfortable for an outdoor wedding in August.
September 12, 2013
I love, LoVe, LOVE this dress!!
OMG - this dress is soooooo beautiful!! I felt like a princess in it! I'm a big girl (size 24) and despite that, I still felt fantastic in this dress. Obviously I don't look like a model - more like a beautifully stuffed sausage - but regardless, I know my fiance will be brought to tears when he sees me walking down the aisle. What more could I ask for?!
May 29, 2013
The One
I wasn't sure what kind of dress I wanted. One of my bridesmaids pulled this off the rack. I tried it on and just about started crying. It was perfect. The beading had a gold tint to it which went with my autumn wedding theme (and my hair!) the corset was slimming, the laced-up back was gorgeous, and it had just enough beading detail-not over the top, but still enough to make it special. I wasn't planning on going with a strapless dress because I'm not a big fan of my arms, but with an added shrug in the champagne color, it was absolute perfection. (I wish I had a reason to wear it again!)

NBC Wins the November Sweep in 18-49
Press release from NBC, Nov. 26, 2013:
NBC has won its second consecutive November sweep in adults 18-49, marking the first time in 10 years, since 2002 and 2003, that NBC has won two November sweeps in a row, according to "live plus same day" viewership data from Nielsen Media Research.
NBC also ranks #1 for the sweep among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-34, adults 25-54, men 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 and women 18-34 and 18-49.
With 25 of 28 nights counted in the November sweep, NBC is averaging a 2.6 rating, putting the network within 0.2 of a point of its 2.8 rating at this point during the November 2012 sweep. In averages through Sunday, Nov. 24, NBC leads sweep runner-up CBS by 0.4 of a point or 18%, with Monday through Wednesday results yet to be factored into sweep averages. If NBC finishes the sweep with that 18% margin, it would be biggest percentage advantage for any network in a November sweep since NBC won by 19% in 2002. In ratings points, the 0.4 margin would match the biggest for any network in a November sweep in four years (since Fox won by 0.5 in 2009).
If NBC maintains its total-viewer average of 8.2 million through the conclusion of the sweep, it would be the network's top total-viewer result for a November sweep in six years (since averaging 8.5 million in 2007, L+SD). Versus last year, NBC is currently up 4% in total viewers for the sweep to date. The sweep concludes Wednesday night, Nov. 27 and Nielsen is scheduled to have "live plus same day" official national results for the full 28-day period on Monday, Dec.2.
For the November sweep, NBC's "Sunday Night Football" ranked as the #1 primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, averaging an 8.6 rating in "live plus same day." "The Voice" (3.6 with its Monday edition) is the #1 unscripted series of the sweep and "The Blacklist" (2.9) is the #1 new series and tied for the #1 drama.
"SNF" is the #1 primetime show of the sweep on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in every key category – adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers – as well as kids 2-11 and teens 12-17.
November Sweep Live Plus Same Day
25 of 28 Nights
Net…Adult 18-49 Rating…Adult 25-54 Rating…Total Viewers
NBC…2.6…3.1…8.232 million
CBS…2.2…3.0…10.334 million
ABC…2.0…2.5…7.623 million
Fox…1.7…1.9…4.854 million
In "most current" results for the first nine weeks of the 2013-14 season to date, NBC ranks #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49 and is also #1 in every other key demo – adults, men and women 18-34; men and women 18-49; and adults, men and women 25-54, including a tie with CBS in women 25-54.
In adults 18-49 so far this season, NBC has ranked #1 or tied for #1 during eight of nine weeks. NBC leads the season by 0.5 of a rating point (with a 3.2 vs. second-place CBS's 2.7), the biggest margin for any network nine weeks into the season in 11 years (since NBC led by 0.9 of a point in 2002).
In total viewers, NBC ranks #2 for the season, its highest total-viewer ranking nine weeks into a season in nine years (since 2004).
NBC's season average of 9.7 million viewers is its biggest overall audience nine weeks into the season in seven years (since 2006, 10.3 million). Versus one year ago, NBC is up 9% season to date in total viewers (9.7 million vs. 8.9 million).
"Sunday Night Football" is the #1 series of the season in adults 18-49, "The Voice" is the #1 unscripted series and "The Blacklist" is both the #1 drama and the #1 new series.
So far this season, "The Blacklist" is averaging 16.9 million viewers overall in "most current" averages, making it NBC's most-watched new series eight episodes into its run since "The Apprentice" debuted in early 2004 (19.2 million viewers through eight telecasts) and NBC's top new drama since "Earth 2" launched in the fall of 1994 (17.7 million through eight episodes).
November sweep averages are in "live plus same day" results from Nielsen Media Research, while season averages are in "most current," which includes "live plus seven day" results except for the two most recent weeks, which are "live plus same day."

ABC Announces 2013-14 Midseason Premiere Dates
Press release from ABC, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013:
The ABC Television Network announced midseason premiere dates today for new series "The Assets," "Killer Women," "Mind Games," and "Mixology." In addition, the network has scheduled premiere dates for the new season of "The Bachelor" with Juan Pablo Galavis, critically acclaimed comedy "Suburgatory," and the cooking competition series "The Taste," now expanded to two hours. Previously announced new drama series "Resurrection" will now premiere at 9:00 p.m., on SUNDAY, MARCH 9, and "Revenge" will move into the 10:00 p.m. time slot on that date.
"The Assets" is an eight-part limited series based on the real life events of CIA counter-intelligence officer Sandy Grimes (Jodie Whittaker). The year 1985 serves as the backdrop to the final showdown of the Cold War when Sandy and her partner Jeanne Vertefeuille (Harriet Walter) vowed to find the mole who would turn out to be the most notorious traitor in US History, Aldrich Ames (Paul Rhys). Sandy is in a race against time to save the Soviet intelligence officers from being caught and killed. Living her own double life at home, this beautiful wife and mother vowed to stop at nothing until she uncovered the truth. "The Assets" will look inside the true, personal stories of the conclusion of the Cold War as told by the keepers of the nation's secrets: the CIA.
"The Assets" stars Paul Rhys ("Borgia") as Aldrich Ames, Jodie Whittaker ("Venus") as Sandy Grimes, Harriet Walter ("Babel") as Jeanne Vertefeuile, Stuart Milligan ("Jonathan Creek") as Paul Redmond, Julian Ovenden ("Downton Abbey") as Gary Grimes, Christina Cole ("Casino Royale") as Louisa, and Ralph Brown ("Withnail and I") as Lawrence Winston.
"The Assets" is based on the book "Circle of Treason: A CIA Account of Traitor Aldrich Ames and the Men He Betrayed" by Sandy Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuile. Morgan Hertzan, Rudy Bednar and Andrew Chapman executive produce the series. "The Assets" is produced by Lincoln Square Productions.
Juan Pablo Galavis, the sexy single father from Miami, Florida, is ready to find love. He'll have his own opportunity to find his wife and stepmother to his daughter when he stars in the 18th edition of "The Bachelor." With his Spanish accent, good looks, salsa moves and undying devotion for his daughter, Juan Pablo, 32, was a fan favorite on the ninth edition of "The Bachelorette." Sadly, Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock couldn't see a future with Juan Pablo and sent him home from Barcelona. Although he was blindsided by not getting a rose, the experience of being on "The Bachelorette" opened his eyes to the possibility of finding a real, everlasting love. He witnessed firsthand how it worked with Desiree, and has decided that he can't give up on love and on giving his daughter, Camila, what she wants more than anything else in the world – a brother and a sister to complete their family. Juan Pablo is ready and hopeful that he'll find love and the missing puzzle piece to fulfill his family here on "The Bachelor."
Hosted by Chris Harrison, "The Bachelor" is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are the executive producers.
Of all the notorious lawmen that ever patrolled the violent frontier, none are more storied than the Texas Rangers. Ballsy and badass Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer) is one of the first women to join this elite group of law enforcement agents. From executive producer Sofía Vergara ("Modern Family") and creator Hannah Shakespeare ("The Raven"), "Killer Women" takes us inside the dangerous world of the Texas Rangers from a female perspective.
Molly is committed to finding the truth and seeing justice served. In a male-dominated world, she is aided by her sixth sense for why women kill -- rarely out of hatred, usually for what they love. Standing squarely behind her is her boss, Company Commander Luis Zea. Molly also has the support of her loving family, including her brother Billy and his wife Becca. On the verge of getting divorced from her narcissistic husband, Jake, Molly relishes her newfound freedom as she begins an affair with a sexy, dangerously handsome DEA agent, Dan Winston.
"Killer Women" stars Tricia Helfer as Molly Parker, Marc Blucas as Dan Winston, Marta Milans as Becca Parker, Michael Trucco as Billy Parker, and Alex Fernandez as Luis Zea. "Killer Women" is produced by ABC Studios. Hannah Shakespeare ("The Raven") and Ed Zuckerman ("Law & Order") serve as executive producers/writers, along with executive producers Sofía Vergara ("Modern Family"), Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale"), Ben Silverman ("The Office"), and Luis Balaguer ("Viva Hollywood!") on the series.
With a little bit of science, a dash of con artistry, plus a smattering of Jedi Mind Tricks -- brothers Ross (Christian Slater) and Clark Edwards (Steve Zahn) can tailor a plan to influence any life-altering situation, thereby making their clients' dreams come true and their nightmares go away. They are partners in The Edwards Agency, an unusual business based on the belief that people's decisions are influenced by their environment in ways they're not aware. Clark is a former university professor and world-renowned expert in the fields of human behavior, psychology and motivation. But Clark has mood swings which are a result of him not taking his meds for a bipolar condition, sometimes resulting in quirky, manic episodes. Older brother Ross, a brilliant schemer recently out of prison after a two-year stint for fraud, has come up with the business model that he believes can make him and his team millions of dollars. Although his energy is infectious, his tactics can be questionable and his strategies border on the illegal. Now, if he can just avoid letting his manic brother from going off the rails…
Their team of master manipulators include the serious Latrell Griffin (Cedric Sanders); the geeky, trust fund baby Miles Hood (Gregory Marcel); Samantha "Sam" Gordon (Jaime Ray Newman), an ex-con who Ross met during his court mandated group therapy and rehabilitation sessions; Megan Shane (Megalyn Echikunwoke), a former infomercial actress; and Beth Scott (Katherine Cunningham), Clark's former grad student with whom he had an affair.
"Mind Games" stars Steve Zahn as Clark, Christian Slater as Ross, Megalyn Echikunwoke as Megan, Gregory Marcel as Miles, Jaime Ray Newman as Sam, and Cedric Sanders as Latrell. Written and executive-produced by Kyle Killen, the series is also executive-produced by Keith Redmon, Timothy Busfield and Donald Todd. "Mind Games" is a 20th Century Fox Television production.

His best friends, handsome, confident Cal (Craig Frank) and fast-talking Bruce (Andrew Santino), are throwing Tom back into the dating pool whether he likes it or not. Tom's first encounter is with Maya (Ginger Gonzaga), an attorney who's as beautiful as she is brutal -- before long, Tom is in tears. After that, it only gets worse. Rounding out Mix's chic crowd is Maya's engaged-for-now friend, Liv (Kate Simses), aggressive single mom Jessica (Alexis Carra), Jessica's gorgeous and chic frenemy Fabienne (Frankie Shaw), bubbly cocktail waitress Kacey (Vanessa Lengies), dark, mysterious bartender Dominic (Adan Canto) and failed internet entrepreneur Ron (Adam Campbell), who's having the worst night of his life.

The people of Arcadia, Missouri are forever changed when their deceased loved ones suddenly start to reappear. An 8-year-old American boy (Landon Gimenez) wakes up alone in a rice paddy in a rural Chinese province with no idea how he got there. Details start to emerge when the boy, who calls himself Jacob, recalls that his hometown is Arcadia, and an Immigration agent, J. Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps), takes him there. The home he claims as his own is occupied by an elderly couple, Henry (Kurtwood Smith) and Lucille Langston (Frances Fisher), who lost their son, Jacob, more than 30 years ago. While they look different, young Jacob recognizes them as his parents. Those closest to the family try to unravel this impossible mystery, including Sheriff Fred Langston (Matt Craven), whose wife Barbara, drowned 30 years ago while trying to save Jacob. But this boy, who claims to be the deceased Jacob, knows secrets about his own death that no one else knows -- secrets that Fred's daughter, Maggie Langston (Devin Kelly), will begin to investigate and discover to be true.
"Resurrection" stars Omar Epps ("House") as J. Martin Bellamy, Matt Craven ("Crimson Tide," "A Few Good Men") as Fred Langston, Devin Kelley ("Chernobyl Diaries," "The Chicago Code") as Maggie Langston, Frances Fisher ("Titanic") as Lucille Langston, Kurtwood Smith ("That '70s Show") as Henry Langston, Sam Hazeldine ("The Raven") as Caleb Richards, Samaire Armstrong ("Entourage," "The O.C.") as Elaine Richards, Mark Hildreth ("Dragon Ball Z") as Tom and Landon Gimenez as Jacob. Written by Aaron Zelman ("Damages," "The Killing"), "Resurrection" is executive-produced by Aaron Zelman, JoAnn Alfano, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Jon Liebman, Brillstein Entertainment and Plan B. The pilot was directed by Charles McDougall. "Resurrection" is produced by ABC Studios.
Single father George Altman (Jeremy Sisto) was doing his best to raise his sixteen-year-old daughter Tessa (Jane Levy) in the big city. But when he discovered a box of condoms in her bedroom, he moved her to a more wholesome and nurturing environment: the suburbs. Only behind the beautiful homes and perfect lawns of Chatswin lurk the Franken-moms and Red Bull-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa and George. It's a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if they haven't jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. In seasons one and two, with the help of suburbanites like flirty hot mom Dallas (Cheryl Hines), alpha neighbors Sheila and Fred Shay (Ana Gasteyer and Chris Parnell), and Awkward classmate Lisa (Allie Grant), George and Tessa learned to navigate the pitfalls of suburban life. With time, they realized life in Chatswin wasn't so bad. Once you got past the plastic smell.
This season, George and Tessa find themselves more at odds with bucolic Chatswin than ever before. George struggles to once again navigate life as a single suburban dad after a tumultuous breakup with Dallas. While Tessa, abandoned by her mother at the start of her senior year, no longer has any interest in trying to fit in. So she and George recommit to walking amongst the suburban hordes without becoming them. Only Chatswin's pull is stronger than they anticipated. Elsewhere, after the Shays' beloved son Ryan heads off to college, they welcome an unexpected new addition to the family, one that is a new thorn in Lisa's side. Luckily, she can focus her attention on Malik as they take their relationship to new heights. And Dallas deals with both the loss of a relation and her relationship with George. But no one suffers from the break-up more than Dalia (According to Dalia). And it only amplifies her feud with Tessa. And when a new, calm Noah (Alan Tudyk) emerges after intensive Anger Management therapy, it enrages George.
The show stars Jeremy Sisto as George Altman, Jane Levy as Tessa Altman, Cheryl Hines as Dallas Royce, Allie Grant as Lisa Shay, Ana Gasteyer as Sheila Shay, Chris Parnell as Fred Shay, and Carly Chaikin as Dalia Royce. Emily Kapnek ("Hung") writes and executive-produces this bitingly ironic single-camera comedy. Patricia Breen also writes and executive produces the series along with co-executive producer Andrew Guest. It is produced by Warner Bros. Television.
One blind spoonful could change everything. Now in its second season, "The Taste" returns with a new two-hour format. In this exhilarating cooking competition series, "The Taste" puts 16 culinary competitors, who range from home cooks and professional chefs to everything in between, in the kitchen where four of the world's most notable masters of the food world judge their creations based on a blind taste. In this pressure-packed contest, a single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send them packing. "The Taste" features no-holds barred chef Anthony Bourdain, British food star Nigella Lawson, expert chef/author Ludo Lefebvre and author, chef/restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson. These four culinary superstars and "Taste" mentors will coach a team of four competing pro and amateur cooks chosen from a nationwide casting call, as they vie to create the best tasting dish in a state of the art kitchen. Each week the groups will face team and individual challenges with a variety of culinary themes through several elimination rounds. At the end of each episode, the mentors will have to judge the competitors' dishes blind, with no knowledge of whose creation they're sampling, what they're eating, how it was prepared or whom they could be sending home. "The Taste" is from Kinetic Content and is executive-produced by Chris Coelen, Matilda Zoltowski, Emma Conway, Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson and Brian Smith who is also the director.

'60 Minutes' Correspondent Lara Logan Tells 'CBS This Morning' That 'We Were Wrong' on Our Benghazi Report and 'We Apologize to Our Viewers'
Press release from CBS, Nov. 8, 2013:
60 MINUTES Correspondent Lara Logan issued an apology to viewers following the discovery of new information which undercuts her recent report on the Benghazi attack, in an interview that was broadcast live, today, Nov. 8, 2013 on CBS THIS MORNING (7:00-9:00 AM) on the CBS Television Network.
"We were wrong," Logan told co-hosts Norah O'Donnell and Jeff Glor of the report.
Logan said that the report's main source led the program to believe that he was telling the truth about his role in the events that took place the evening of the Benghazi attack, but that "we now know that was not the case."
"We take the vetting of sources and stories very seriously at 60 MINUTES, and we took it seriously in this case. But we were misled and we were wrong, and that's the important thing," Logan said, adding, "We have to set the record straight and take responsibility."
The transcript of the segment is below.
NORAH O'DONNELL: 60 MINUTES has learned of new information that undercuts its Oct. 27 account of an ex-security officer who called himself Morgan Jones. His real name is Dylan Davies, and he recounted to Lara Logan, in great detail, what he claimed were his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound. Lara joins us this morning. Lara, good morning. What can you tell us?
LARA LOGAN: The most important thing to every person at 60 MINUTES is the truth, and today the truth is that we made a mistake. That's very disappointing for any journalist. It's very disappointing for me. Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say that you were wrong. And in this case, we were wrong. We made a mistake. And how did this happen? Well, Dylan Davies worked for the State Department in Libya, was the manager of the local guard force at the Benghazi Special Mission compound. He described for us his actions the night of the attack, saying he had entered the compound and had a confrontation with one of the attackers, and that he had seen the body of Ambassador Chris Stevens in a local hospital. And after our report aired, questions were raised about whether his account was real, after an incident report surfaced that told a different story about what he'd done that night. He denied that report and said that he told the FBI the same story he told us. But what we now know is that he told the FBI a different story from what he told us. That's when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source, and that we were wrong to put him on air, and we apologize to our viewers.
NORAH O'DONNELL: Why were you convinced that Dylan Davies was a credible source? That the account that he provided was accurate? How did you vet him?
LARA LOGAN: We verified and confirmed that he was who he said he was. That he was working for the State Department at the time, that he was in Benghazi at the special mission compound the night of the attack. He gave us access to communications he'd had with U.S. government officials. We used U.S. government reports and congressional testimony to verify many of the details of his story, and everything checked out. He also showed us photographs that he had taken at the special mission compound the following morning. We take the vetting of sources and stories very seriously at 60 MINUTES, and we took it seriously in this case. But we were misled and we were wrong, and that's the important thing. That's what we have to say here. We have to set the record straight and take responsibility.
NORAH O'DONNELL: Last Thursday, the Washington Post ran a report that questioned the central parts of what Davies had told you. They cited this incident report right after the attack that he gave to Blue Mountain, the security company he worked for. He told them that he never made it to the compound, that he was at his villa there. Did you know about that report, that incident report?
LARA LOGAN: No, we did not know about that incident report before we did our story. When the Washington Post story came out, he denied it, he said that he never wrote it, had nothing to do with it, and that he told the FBI the same story that he told us. But as we now know, that was not that case.
NORAH O'DONNELL: But why would you stand by this report, after Dylan Davies admitted lying to his own employer?
LARA LOGAN: Because he was very upfront about that from the beginning. That was always part of his story. And the context of it, when he tells his story, is that his boss is someone he cared about enormously. He cared about his American counterparts in the mission that night, and when his boss told him not to go, he couldn't stay back. That was always part of the record for us. And that part didn't come as any surprise.
JEFF GLOR: "60" acknowledged it was a mistake not to disclose that the book was being published by Simon & Schuster, which is a CBS company. There are also these reports now that Davies was asking for money. Did he ever ask you for money?
LARA LOGAN: He did not. He never asked us for money, it never came up.
NORAH O'DONNELL: So how do you address this moving forward? Are you going to do something on Sunday on 60 MINUTES?
LARA LOGAN: Yes. We will apologize to our viewers, and we will correct the record on our broadcast on Sunday night.
NORAH O'DONNELL: And have you been in touch with him since?
LARA LOGAN: We have not. After we learned of the latest news about the FBI report, we tried to contact him, but we have not heard back from him.
NORAH O'DONNELL: You've had no contact with him since then?
LARA LOGAN: Not so far.
NORAH O'DONNELL: And not about this latest news about the FBI report?
LARA LOGAN: No.
JEFF GLOR: Lara Logan, thank you very much.

Federal Aviation Administration to Allow Airlines to Expand Use of Personal Electronics -- Official Press Release
Press Release - FAA to Allow Airlines to Expand Use of Personal Electronic Devices
October 31, 2013
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Huerta today announced that the FAA has determined that airlines can safely expand passenger use of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) during all phases of flight, and is immediately providing the airlines with implementation guidance.
Due to differences among fleets and operations, the implementation will vary among airlines, but the agency expects many carriers will prove to the FAA that their planes allow passengers to safely use their devices in airplane mode, gate-to-gate, by the end of the year.
The FAA based its decision on input from a group of experts that included representatives from the airlines, aviation manufacturers, passengers, pilots, flight attendants, and the mobile technology industry.
Passengers will eventually be able to read e-books, play games, and watch videos on their devices during all phases of flight, with very limited exceptions. Electronic items, books and magazines, must be held or put in the seat back pocket during the actual takeoff and landing roll. Cell phones should be in airplane mode or with cellular service disabled – i.e., no signal bars displayed—and cannot be used for voice communications based on FCC regulations that prohibit any airborne calls using cell phones. If your air carrier provides Wi-Fi service during flight, you may use those services. You can also continue to use short-range Bluetooth accessories, like wireless keyboards.
"We believe today's decision honors both our commitment to safety and consumer's increasing desire to use their electronic devices during all phases of their flights," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "These guidelines reflect input from passengers, pilots, manufacturers, and flight attendants, and I look forward to seeing airlines implement these much anticipated guidelines in the near future."
"I commend the dedication and excellent work of all the experts who spent the past year working together to give us a solid report so we can now move forward with a safety-based decision on when passengers can use PEDs on airplanes," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
The PED Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) concluded most commercial airplanes can tolerate radio interference signals from PEDs. In a recent report, they recommended that the FAA provide airlines with new procedures to assess if their airplanes can tolerate radio interference from PEDs. Once an airline verifies the tolerance of its fleet, it can allow passengers to use handheld, lightweight electronic devices – such as tablets, e-readers, and smartphones—at all altitudes. In rare instances of low-visibility, the crew will instruct passengers to turn off their devices during landing. The group also recommended that heavier devices should be safely stowed under seats or in overhead bins during takeoff and landing.
The FAA is streamlining the approval of expanded PED use by giving airlines updated, clear guidance. This FAA tool will help airlines assess the risks of potential PED-induced avionics problems for their airplanes and specific operations. Airlines will evaluate avionics as well as changes to stowage rules and passenger announcements. Each airline will also need to revise manuals, checklists for crewmember training materials, carry-on baggage programs and passenger briefings before expanding use of PEDs. Each airline will determine how and when they will allow passengers broader use of PEDs.
The FAA did not consider changing the regulations regarding the use of cell phones for voice communications during flight because the issue is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The ARC did recommend that the FAA consult with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to review its current rules. Cell phones differ from most PEDs in that they are designed to send out signals strong enough to be received at great distances
Top Things Passengers Should Know about Expanded Use of PEDs on Airplanes:
1. Make safety your first priority.
2. Changes to PED policies will not happen immediately and will vary by airline. Check with your airline to see if and when you can use your PED.
3. Current PED policies remain in effect until an airline completes a safety assessment, gets FAA approval, and changes its PED policy.
4. Cell phones may not be used for voice communications.
5. Devices must be used in airplane mode or with the cellular connection disabled. You may use the WiFi connection on your device if the plane has an installed WiFi system and the airline allows its use. You can also continue to use short-range Bluetooth accessories, like wireless keyboards.
6. Properly stow heavier devices under seats or in the overhead bins during takeoff and landing. These items could impede evacuation of an aircraft or may injure you or someone else in the event of turbulence or an accident.
7. During the safety briefing, put down electronic devices, books and newspapers and listen to the crewmember's instructions.
8. It only takes a few minutes to secure items according to the crew's instructions during takeoff and landing.
9. In some instances of low visibility – about one percent of flights – some landing systems may not be proved PED tolerant, so you may be asked to turn off your device.
10. Always follow crew instructions and immediately turn off your device if asked.
Current FAA regulations require an aircraft operator to determine that radio frequency interference from PEDs is not a flight safety risk before the operator authorizes them for use during certain phases of flight. Even PEDs that do not intentionally transmit signals can emit unintentional radio energy. This energy may affect aircraft safety because the signals can occur at the same frequencies used by the plane's highly sensitive communications, navigation, flight control and electronic equipment. An airline must show it can prevent potential interference that could pose a safety hazard. The PED ARC report helps the FAA to guide airlines through determining that they can safely allow widespread use of PEDs.
The PED ARC began work in January, at the request of Administrator Huerta, to determine if it is safe to allow more widespread use of electronic devices in today's aircraft. The group also reviewed the public's comments in response to an August 2012 FAA notice on current policy, guidance, and procedures that aircraft operators use when determining if passengers can use PEDs. The group did not consider the use of electronic devices for voice communications. A fact sheet on the report is now available.
The FAA is immediately giving airlines a clear path to safely expand PED use by passengers, and the Administrator will evaluate the rest of the ARC's longer-term recommendations and respond at a later date.
A Portable Electronic Device is any piece of lightweight, electrically-powered equipment. These devices are typically consumer electronic devices capable of communications, data processing and/or utility. Examples range from handheld, lightweight electronic devices such as tablets, e-readers, and smartphones to small devices such as MP3 players and electronic toys.
The PED ARC report and FAA guidance materials are available on our website..

A zombie invasion has been in full effect for a couple years now, with the ghouls shambling into pop-culture's top monster spot more each day.
Just turn on your television. Aside from being the threat of AMC's hit show "The Walking Dead," they've taken a bite out of non-zombie franchises with guest spots on shows like "Community," "The Simpsons" and "South Park." Not even their undead cousin, the vampire, has achieved such total immersion. Actual hard news stories are even speculating about a zombie apocalypse spurred by bath salts and occasional cannibalism.
Zombies, man, they creep me out -- but that might be about to change with a major evolutionary step signaled at San Diego Comic-Con a few weeks back: Zombies With Personalities. Even though it sounds like the name for a garage rock band, Zombies With Personalities (ZWP) are members of the monster horde with names, personalities, individual behaviors, etc., emerging in a big way within pop culture.
"ParaNorman," is the stop-motion animated kids' movie with an anti-bullying message in which a little boy who talks to dead people must defeat a curse that unleashes zombies on his town. The Aug. 17 release received the lauded Hall H treatment at SDCC and includes walking dead that can moan-speak and appear to have an agenda beyond just flesh eating.
Meanwhile Klasky Csupo -- the studio behind Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys" in the '90s -- unveiled the online comic (and music video) "Ollie Mongo: Adventures in the Apocalypse." Co-created by horror director Craig Singer, Ollie is a 16-year-old blue, skateboarding, vegan zombie who lives 200 years in the future.
And though it didn't have a panel at the con, the zombified image of actor Nicholas Hoult from the February 2013 movie "Warm Bodies" was present throughout the event, including on the giant attendee SDCC bags. Based on a book by Isaac Marion, the film aims to be "The Twilight Saga" for zombies and follows "R," a self-aware member of the walking dead who falls for a human girl.
That's right, a zombie love story is coming soon to a theater near you -- and a couple others are already waiting on an Internet connection near you. Also featured at Comic-Con were "Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story" and "Summer of the Zombies," two comedic short films with zombie protagonists who have unique personalities and find love.
Will this wave of ZWP be accepted by diehard zombie fans? Maybe, but it will be a tough sell.
The Romero zombie, the flesh-eating creature introduced in George Romero's seminal "Night of the Living Dead" - and the template for what will wipe out humanity in a coming apocalypse - is an infected person who dies and returns as a relentlessly driven "thing" that only wishes to devour the living and spread its infection. A zombie is basically a virus wearing human skin; it only resembles the person it inhabits, and only then until the flesh decomposes enough.
Arguably one of the main reasons a zombie is scary is because it is not a "who" that pursues an individual motive but a "what" that shares an emotionless goal ... of eating you. They eradicate like a swarm of locusts; their actions dictated not by desire but by nature.
Still, the ZWP is not an entirely new phenomenon. The zombie "Bub" (portrayed by Sherman Howard) is the most notable example. Appearing in Romero's third zombie flick "Day of the Dead," he remembered aspects of his former life, learned how to use tools and experienced emotions. In "Fido," Scottish comedian Billy Connolly plays a domesticated and protective pet zombie (who also dances pretty well and has a romantic streak). The ZWP have also periodically popped up in other movies and TV shows, but they are by-and-large rejected by fans who say making the characters so animated misses the entire point of the genre or destroys the brains behind it.
But creators like Singer and "ParaNorman" screenwriter/co-director Chris Butler come to their projects with a lot of genre cred. And other creators are likely betting that there is always room for evolution within popular culture, and they are probably right.
After all, there was a time when vampires could go out in the sunlight, according to folklore, then a long period where that was no longer acceptable. Now it seems most of them can again, and at least a few sparkle when they do. Granted, those are rules applied to supernatural monsters and not corpses reanimated by whacked-out science.
It makes sense that creators would want to play in the sandbox to add new layers and dimensions to any trope. To avoid evolving altogether or simply agree to continue playing by previously-established rules is to, ironically, become just another member of the horde.
Of course, if the projects unveiled at Comic-Con work, some of the ZWP entries that will rise will be crass money grabs and lousy zombie knockoffs. First, it remains to be seen whether the world is even ready for a zombie "Twilight" within pop culture.
If it is, then the next question is whether the Romero zombies we know and love (or fear, in my case) can survive or if Zombies With Personalities will make them lose their bite.
