Need 1% Liquid

Comments about 1% BHA Gel - 3.3 oz:

Would love more if a liquid
By JuliaD
I use this in combination with the 2 % liquid. I have mild rosacea and usually flame up on my cheeks if I use an exfoliant but this ,at most, produces a tingle. I use this on my cheeks and the 2 percent liquid on the rest of my face and neck. There is a noticeable difference in my skin when I use these. I do not really like the gel consistency as much as the liquid for the reasons others have stated and would like to see a 1% liquid.
Please Paula we need 1% liquid!
By Jodi J.
After using the 1% lotion and it not being a great experience (my face was red and felt sunburnt) I decided to give this a try. It's better than the lotion because its so much lighter/thinner, the smell is okay but smells kinda 'plasticky' however it dissipates pretty quickly. I really wish we could get a 1% liquid - I would be thrilled! There are two 2% liquids but they are too much for some of us, please help us Paula.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for the suggestion and feedback! We will certainly consider it, and share your comments with the team.
Just OK
By PATRICIA j.
I think this product is effective, but I'm not happy with the gel itself. Once the gel dries, it just sits on top of my combination skin, and then the gel itself starts to flake and peel off. The performance of the BHA still seems to be effective, but I think that I would have preferred a lotion that soaks into the skin, much better.
Great Exfoliant!
By Nicole G.
I have very oily/acne prone skin and I use this gel exfoliant during the day before putting on my Epiduo gel. I really love the texture of it- it goes on very easily. It also smells much better than the 1% BHA lotion, which I use at night. It's really helped with my acne and the appearance of my skin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with an acne problem!
My mistake!
By JEANNINE P B.
After being diagnosed with rosacea last summer, I switched from the RESIST AHA lotion to SP 1% BHA lotion which worked beautifully. Living in a hot humid climate with summer coming on, I decided to try something even lighter and go with the gel during the warmer months. Every time I use this it begins to immediately ball up. I have tried using it while my face is still moist with toner and waiting til completely dry. Always end up "brushing off the crumbs" before I can put on my moisturizer.
By Ann H.
The effect of the product is gradual, but the payoff is remarkable. The 2% liquid was a little harsh to start with, so I stepped down a notch to the 1%. I like the gel because I use it on my body as well, and I don't need cotton pads to apply it. One pump will cover the entire face. Over time, you will see smoother, clearer skin. I would really recommend this to anyone who is new to BHAs or has not used them for a while. I may move up to the 2% for summer, but the 1% is a great start.
Good but going to try the 2%
By CASEY W.
I really like this product, as I do most PC products. It has definitely helped smooth my complexion. It has also helped to keep my random breakouts in check. Unfortunately, I saw no difference in BHs on my nose. I have pretty clear skin for the most part. I'll breakout occasionally once a month, but I do have stubborn BHs. I'm almost finished with my bottle, and I think I'm going to try the 2% gel. Hopefully this will help my issue. I have also tried the RESIST BHA 9 and saw no difference in BHs either. Maybe my skin is just extremely stubborn. Overall, I think this is a great product.
Gentle and Effective
By Melissa
This is gentle, yet effective for hypersensitive skin with mild acne. I saw an immediate improvement in my skin when I first used this, but it took about a month for my skin to clear. This is lightweight, absorbs well and only a small amount is needed to cover the entire face and neck. Higher percentages of BHA and the AHAs irritate my skin, making exfoliation and acne control impossible until I found this. I highly recommend the Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Gel for those looking for a gentle exfoliant.
Balls up
By Joce
I'm still not sure whether this product is working... been using it for quite a while now and it hasn't seemed to do anything on my stubborn blackheads, might have to keep using it for longer as I know different products work differently on different people. Another major thing is that it balls up when I put other products on top of it. Not sure if I'd get better results with the 2% and if it was a liquid form?
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. The 2% BHA Liquid would be the most effective. Blackheads can be very stubborn and for some never completely go away. If twice daily application of the 2% BHA Liquid does not help then you would need to add in a prescription strength retinoid from a dermatologist which helps the shape of the pores become more round and normal so that the BHA may better exfoliate them. The combination of the product would be the most effective for stubborn blackheads and clogged pores. Please contact customer care so that we may offer you an in house credit for the product and make suggestions on your routine.
Fell in love with!
By Maria D.
This is by far one of my favorite products. Fair and sun damaged skin, lots of freckles and discolorations, breakouts, sensitivity and oiliness...the list goes on and on. What I have to say about this product is that it was a surprise for me to find an exfoliant that wasn't mechanical, but chemical. The salicylic acid really helps unclog pores ( I have been using in for 9 months) and even figured that it can be applied to other body areas like chest, upper arms below the Paula's Choice Resist 2% BHA Body Treatment (even helps towards the elimination of Keratosis Pilaris). I have talked to one of the representatives over the phone because I have been experiencing some tougher breakouts, very difficult to deal with. She recommended me to change from the 1% gel to the 2% BHA Liquid, since it can be more effective for the occasional breakouts that I still get in my late 30's. Whenever I finish this one, I will definitely move to a higher concentration formula, but this is a great, innovative products. Can't get tired to use it morning and night! Thumbs up!!
By Danella
I LOVE this product! Since developing rosacea, I've struggled with skincare. Products are either ineffective, or they burn and irritate my skin. This product gave me m smooth skin back! After about a week of use (in conjunction with Barely There moisturizer) I was shocked when I touched the side of my face and it felt velvety and smooth...It has been YEARS since it felt like that. My pores do look smaller and some blackheads have cleared. I think I'll need the BHA 9 for the stubborn ones, but this alone has made great improvement. It may not be a miracle product for people who can tolerate stronger products, but for sensitive or rosacea skin, it's a LIFESAVER!
Won't do without it!
By Lena
After using BHA 1% Gel for almost a year I ran out and decided not to reorder. After one month of not using it in my daily skin care the texture of my face became uneven, pitted and dull. I now have bottles of this in reserve and my skin is back to being smooth, even and luminous. Not bad for a 51-year-old!
Maybe not for me
By Carolyne
I have to agree with a lot of reviewers and say that this product needs a faster dry down time. This product is also suppose to be good for those with acne prone skin, but I've started to get pimples again since I started using this, whereas I did not have any before when I was using an AHA based product. I hope things will sort out in the next few weeks, but I am tempted to stop using it and go back to my AHA to get rid of the acne that's starting to creep back up.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you are not noticing the results you were hoping for. There are factors that can keep BHA from improving skin, such as using products not appropriate for your skin type (heavy moisturizers,) or those containing irritating ingredients (bar soaps, fragrances,) or not following a consistent skin care routine. We would like to know more information regarding your skin type and routine to determine what would be best for you to try. Please contact customer care so that we may discuss this further.
Is it doing anything? ...
By KKT
Love the texture and the smell doesn't bother me. But is it even doing anything? After buying everything in my recommended skin care system, my skin is the same - but at least it hasn't gotten worse. After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for this exfoliant. Try a sample first - it's too expensive to buy without trying...
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results. The amount of time it will take to see improvement really can vary from person to person and ultimately depends on the extent of the condition or concern they are trying to address as well has how they are using the products. Some consumers will notice results promptly while others will notice results over the course of a few weeks or months. Ultimately, we would love for you to continue use the products to see how they will work for you but in the meantime will credit you for the BHA Gel 1% and encourage you to contact customer care so that we may discuss your skin type and how the products were being used.
Amazing results!
By Sarah
I tried this 1% gel in a sample, then got side-tracked with vacations and forgot which product made my skin so smooth! When I found the samples again in my drawer, I was excited to pinpoint the miracle-worker. I haven't been able to get a handle on my mild acne since before puberty, and now this in combination with the Skin Balancing cleanser, toner & lotions has kept my blemishes at bay. Thank you!
Great product.....
By Michelle
When I first sampled BHA products, I was given samples of the Lotion. I prefer gels, but was won over because the lotion was very mattifying. It also absorbed very well on my back, which is where I had a few breakouts. I tried the gel on my face, and it did absorb better, but was also mattifying. It just sits on my back, but fortunately most of my back is covered, so I don't have to worry too much. The lotion is great for the summer, when bathing suits are worn and skin is exposed.
Prefer the 8% AHA
By Tradene
I absolutely love all the Paula's Choice products, they have completely changed my skin. However, this product just didn't work for me, it made me break out quite abit. I will definitely stick to the 8% AHA gel that I had been using.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your comments. We will be sure to share your feedback with Paula and her Product Development Manager. They do take customer feedback seriously. In the meantime we will issue you an in-house credit for this product. Please contact customer care with any questions or concerns. We are always happy to help!
Using it for years
By Lisa
I've been using this product for years and it keeps my skin smoother, more even and helps control the breakouts. One thing is I only use it at night and only 2-3 times a week. My skin can't seem to handle it every day. I find this works best for me so have just stuck with it.
not worth the price
By nicole
I have a very oily T-zone and large pores. This product did nothing about either. The best thing I can say about this product is that at least it did not make my skin worse. Although, sometimes I felt like I'd be even oilier than normal if I put this on in the morning. I do like the texture, though. But a nice feeling lotion that does nothing is not worth $20.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this product. While this response is not typical, we do understand that each customer is uniquely different in how they will respond to products or ingredients. This along with everyday environmental factors can sometimes play a part in how someone will ultimately respond to a product or combination of products. For that reason, we have located your account information and applied an in house credit for the product which may be used on a future phone order. We will send samples of the liquid 2% BHA to see how it works for you and our Shine Stopper Instant Matte Finish for surface oil control. Please contact customer care with any questions.
Amazing product! Nothing else has worked!
By Emilie
I started using Paula's Choice several months ago after doing a search on the internet for a solution to my acne/poor skin problems. I would get large blemishes randomly across my face, and blackheads across my T zone and cheeks. My skin was also rough, dry, and spotty while being extremely sensitive. I've tried various prescriptions from the Doctor, all kinds of over the counter products, and even went Vegan at one point in my life hoping to eliminate inflammatory foods (felt great but no clear skin)! I now use Paula's cleanser, toner, BHA product every day (this one-lowest strength so it doesn't bother my skin), AHA once a week at night (Resist line-doesn't bother my skin doing it once a week but I started 2x a month at first just in case), the lotion, and the clay mask (the last two I've sampled and loved so buying more tonight!). My skin is now smooth, my blackheads are gone (or so tiny as to be nonexistent), I get one small zit every great once in a while (hormones I suspect), my skin is no longer dry, and my color is awesome! I know this sounds outrageous, but I swear by these products now. I never thought I'd find something that would work without being too harsh on my skin. These really went beyond my expectations. THANK YOU!
By Silvia
This is a great exfoliant! It has really helped me with blackheads without causing any irritation even when used twice a day every day. The size of my pores is still the same, but I know there is little that can be done about that, and at least now they look clean which in itself makes them less noticeable.
Burst my bubble :(
By Alefiya
I do notice some exfoliation occuring with this product, but the claims that this makes just aren't coming true for me. It is helping somewhat with keeping my acne in check (I upgraded to the 2% BHA gel in hopes that that will work better for me), but after more than two months of regular use, I am seeing no difference in the pore size on my face, and my pores are really big, especially on my nose! I am so disappointed, this was my last hope for seeing my pores reduce in size and having better looking skin... it also dries out my skin after a week or so and I feel a burn so that I have to skip a day of treatment, let my skin heal and then I go back to using it again because it does make my skin feel somewhat soft when I use it. I use this in conjuction with the skin balancing toner, and that's been disappointing too...
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results.

Not my favorite
By Nadia D.
THis is the only PC product I haven't fallen in love with. I REALLY wanted to like it, but it made my cheeks red and irritated, and I even got a bit of a rash. I don't want to rate it poorly though, cause I feel like maybe it is just an individual reaction, since so many people liked it. That said, it does seem like there are a few people who had a similar response to me, so maybe the texture is irritating to some people? What's strange is that the higher concentration-the 2% liquid-doesn't irritate me at all, so I'm not sure why this didn't work for me...
I love all of PC products-they are all I use. I love and use the Skin Balancing line, the Resist line, and the Hydralight moisture lotion. This is the only PC product that just didn't work for me. For some reason, it made my skin red and blotchy, and worsened the rosacea around my eyes (which I got randomly last year due to extreme stress). I couldn't finish it, which was unfortunate. The reason why I am not going to give this product a really low rating though is because I really think this was a response unique to me. I'm probably sensitive to one of the ingredients, and it's more of a 'fluke' thing than reflective of the formulation, which seems to work for a lot of people.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your review. It is hard to know exactly which ingredient, combination of ingredients, or outside factors contributed to your skin responding negatively to this product. It can be difficult to identify which ingredient in any formula, even a well-formulated one, which could be causing redness. Based on what you have described, it would be best to discontinue use. We will credit you for the product, if you would like to discuss other options for an exfoliant please contact customer care and we are happy to assist you!

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Gel Exfoliant exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining to unclog pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. This creates a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function and overall leads to healthier skin. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The silky gel consistency is a great option for oily to very oily skin and also provides light hydration.
This product is 100% fragrance and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.8 for superior exfoliating properties. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for?1% BHA Gel works well on all skin types, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to very oily skin.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Key Ingredients:
green tea, willow herb, salicylic acid, BHA (beta hydroxy acid), bisabolol
Water, Methylpropanediol (slip agent/water-binding agent), Xanthan Gum (thickener), Salicylic Acid (beta hydroxy acid/exfoliant), Polysorbate-20 (emulsifier), PEG-12 Dimethicone (silicone thickener), Butylene Glycol (slip agent), Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, (anti-irritant/antioxidant), Epilobium Angustifolium (Willow Herb) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract (anti-irritant), Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (antioxidant), Portulaca Oleracea Extract (antioxidant), Tetrasodium EDTA (stabilizing agent), Bisabolol (anti-irritant), Chlorphenesin (preservative), Sodium Benzoate (stabilizer), Sodium Hydroxide.
DIRECTIONS: Apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Apply a dime-sized amount over the entire face, including the eyes (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater.
Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
What's the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants? Do I need both?
When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:
If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.
If you'd like to use an AHA and BHA at the same time, that is an option, though not really necessary. Some people find they work well when they're applied at the same time, but if you want to give this a try it is best to apply them separately, one during the day and one in the evening.
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
How does Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Gel Exfoliant compare to the Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant?
Is Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Gel Exfoliant stronger than the Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant?
I tried Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant and did not care for the texture, and Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant was too strong for my skin. Will the Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Gel work for me?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my BHA exfoliant again?

We can all innovate! We own our ideas!
Who is the Intellectual Property Office?
The Intellectual Property Office is the official government body responsible for granting Intellectual Property (IP) rights in the United Kingdom. The office is an Executive Agency of the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS).
What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual Property (IP) comprises:-
- Patents - protect new inventions
- Designs - protect the appearance of a produce
- Trade marks - protect brand names and reputations
- Copyright - protect creative works
Why is IP important?
Intellectual property is important to the UK economy, supporting Government policy of encouraging enterprise and innovation. The Intellectual Property Office has the task of promoting and developing awareness-raising programmes on the importance and changing nature of intellectual property.
IP is seen as a key consideration in day to day business decisions, not just as an asset but also as a means of increasing profit for the business.
Despite its importance a high percentage of businesses are still missing out on valuable income from new technology or ideas because they are not certain about their IP rights.
To address this the Intellectual Property Office has developed a number of programmes to raise awareness of IP amongst businesses and young people because:-
- Awareness levels of IP are low;
- As a result businesses risk missing opportunities to exploit their knowledge and creativity;
- The incentive to innovate which IP rights afford depend on potential innovators being aware of IP rights;
- Ignorance of IP contributes to a lack of respect and results in IP infringement.
Wallace & Gromit Present a World of Cracking Ideas
To convey the Intellectual Property Office's innovation and IP messages and to increase the level of awareness of IP it currently sponsors a World of Cracking Ideas exhibit and workshops at Spaceport, Liverpool. The objectives are:-
- To promote a better understanding of an IP system which encourages innovation by allowing designers, authors and inventors to gain value from their creations;
- To encourage a positive respect for IP;
- To raise awareness of the Intellectual Property Office, who it is, what it does, and the role it plays in the innovation and creative processes, so that it becomes the first place of reference for IP information;
- To ensure that visitors leave with a knowledge and an understanding of the role and importance of IP.
The IPO's association with Spaceport's Wallace & Gromit in Space follows on from the successful IPO sponsored Wallace & Gromit Present a World of Cracking Ideas exhibition which ran at the Science Museum, London and the Glasgow Science Centre, Scotland and the Centre for Life, Newcastle.
Cracking Ideas
Cracking Ideas is the Office's educational resource. The website, developed in partnership with Aardman Animations, features Wallace and Gromit and is targeted at children aged 4 - 16. It contains educational activities tailored to the curriculum, a nationwide competition and games.
The aim of the resource is to teach children that:-
- They can all innovate;
- They can all own ideas;
- Innovation can be linked to financial reward;
- They can exploit their ideas if they are protected by IP.
All resources on the website can be downloaded free of charge and are broken down into 3 age groups (4 - 7, 8 - 11 and 12 - 16), contain information relating to innovation, creativity and intellectual property and all link to the UK curriculum.
You can also join our community of innovators uploading your competition entries to the Ideas Gallery and offering your thoughts on other ideas already on the website.
Business Outreach Activities
The Intellectual Property Office has a range of outreach activities for the business community, these range from an IP Diagnostic tool intended to help businesses identify the types of IP they own, an IP awareness campaign in partnership with Companies House entitled 'Get It Right First Time' based on a series of half day seminars. Plus the IP Masterclass, IP workshops and seminars all promoting the importance of IP to businesses and a free e-newsletter offering readers advice and information about IP.
Further information on these can be found at http://www.ipo.gov.uk/whyuse/events/events-calendar.htm

1986. Austria. Directed by Axel Corti. Screenplay by Georg Stefan Troller, Corti. With Gabriel Barylli, Nicolas Brieger, Claudia Messner. Welcome in Vienna, which had a successful theatrical release in 1986, is the brilliant concluding episode of the award-winning, three-part television mini-series Wohin und zurück (1982–1985). Adapted by Paris-based Austrian writer and journalist Georg Stefan Troller from his own autobiography, the series follows a young Jewish boy who flees Austria after his father is murdered during Kristallnacht. The boy's journey takes him across France to the United States, where he struggles to integrate. Welcome in Vienna chronicles his return to Vienna as a soldier in the U.S. Army. Director Axel Corti (1933–1993) was a true media "renaissance man" whose many talents included writing and directing for radio, television, film, and the theater. In the 1960s, he produced some of Austria's most innovative advertising films. For Corti, the entire trilogy struck close to home: as a boy, he was forced to flee German-occupied Paris, while his father, a resistance fighter, remained behind and was murdered. Digital projection. Courtesy National Center for Jewish Film, Brandeis. In German; English subtitles. 127 min.

Noble Capital To Host Austin Private Money Lending Dinner and Seminar
Noble Capital is hosting a The Austin Private Money Lending Dinner and Seminar on Thursday, April 3, from 6:30-8:00pm at Sullivans Steakhouse in downtown Austin, Texas. The event will be hosted by Chris Ragland, author of 'The Private Money Lending Handbook' and he will detail the steps involved in generating passive income secured by real estate.Press Release VideoLoading the player...Details(prREACH)
Noble Capital, the premier private money lending platform in Texas, is hosting a Private Money Lending Dinner & Seminar in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, April 10th at Sullivans Steakhouse from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. To register for this event, please visit http://www.noblecapital.com/austin-live-seminar
Private money lending is when one party lends money to another party for the purpose of performing a short-term real estate transaction, like flipping real estate. These types of short-term loans are almost impossible to get from mortgage companies due to quick closing requirements and the short nature of the loan. However, private money lending provides a tremendous opportunity for those seeking alternative investment opportunities that want to earn 8-10% interest on their money secured by real estate.
"With the stock market at an all time high, many people are looking for alternative ways to make money," says Noble Capital Chief Operating Officer Chris Ragland. "Many investors who like the stock market or investing in precious metals or other forms of investing like lending private money because of the predictable income you can generate, the short nature of the loan, and the fact that each loan is secured by a tangible asset in the form of real estate."
Given the high amount of distressed real estate properties that require renovations to get to market value as well as the fact that home prices are rising, in Austin, Texas, demand is high for private money lending.
Chris Ragland has recently written the step-by-step blueprint called "The Private Money Lending Handbook". At this dinner seminar on Thursday, April 10th at Sullivans Steakhouse, Mr. Ragland will provide an educational seminar based on the information in the book and hold a Questions and Answers session afterwards.
"Being a Private Money Lender involves lending people a sizable amount of money. Naturally, you will want to understand how everything works prior to taking action," continues Mr. Ragland. "Therefore, I would like to extend to you an invitation to attend the Austin Private Money Lending Dinner & Seminar in order to give you a better understanding of the Private Money Lending Process and ask me your important questions... and I'll even buy you and your spouse, guest, or partner a Steak Dinner."

[ 3 ] A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
The laws were more than a bicycle's chain guard. Asimov considered them an algorithm for right robot living and applied them to each of his stories. He even proposed a parallel Three Laws of Humanics for people to follow to make for a happy and good life.
Asimov's thinking robots crept their way into many of his colleagues' stories of the '40s and '50s and into the imagination of scientists. "Coming back to Asimov's work years later, specifically to I, Robot, the extraordinary thing is how prophetic it was," says Proyas. "Real scientists and engineers take the laws seriously and conjecture about what they mean to robots in reality."
But for all of Asimov's ability to entertain us with his ideas, there's still no sign 65 years after his first robot story was penned of the artificial intelligence he envisioned. There's Asimo, Honda's million-dollar humaniform bot, which can move only when a real person is driving it, and Roomba, the autonomous robo-vacuum from iRobot whose movements resemble those of insects. Unlike rocketry - a real engineering discipline inspired by science fiction - intelligent robots (and virtual reality for that matter, which 20 years after cyberpunk is pretty much dead in the water) serve best as metaphors for the zeitgeist of their eras.
And as vividly as Asimov imagined a future propelled by robots, he conspicuously ignored technologies that have truly transformed our world, namely the computer and the computer network. When they do make appearances in his fiction, they're cursory: Computers are remote controls for robots over unreliable networks; invariably they lead to disaster. Hackers don't figure in, either. Rather than the eclectic, self-taught, transgressive cyberpunk antihero, Asimov favored protagonists in white lab coats that do Jerry Lewis spit-takes in the presence of a girl. (And the girls don't fare much better. Susan Calvin, the recurring mother of robopsychology in Asimov stories, is a desexualized dried-up matron of great sternness - a far cry from William Gibson's Molly Mirrorshades.) Moreover, while the laws are compelling, they're the kind of moral code that can be summed up in a book the size and complexity of Who Moved My Cheese? In the real world, the simplicity of the laws just doesn't fly. Take the question of harm that appears in the first law. Harm is not a binary proposition, as anyone who's ever been told to spare the rod and spoil the child knows.
Yet Asimov's reductionist approach to human interaction may be his most lasting influence. His thinking is alive and well and likely filling your inbox at this moment with come-ons asking you to identify your friends and rate their "sexiness" on a scale of one to three. Today's social networking services like Friendster and Orkut collapse the subtle continuum of friendship and trust into a blunt equation that says, "So-and-so is indeed my friend," and "I trust so-and-so to see all my other 'friends.'" These systems demand that users configure their relationships in a way that's easily modeled in software. It reflects a mechanistic view of human interaction: "If Ann likes Bob and Bob hates Cindy, then Ann hates Cindy." The idea that we can take our social interactions and code them with an Asimovian algorithm ("allow no harm, obey all orders, protect yourself") is at odds with the messy, unpredictable world. The Internet succeeds because it is nondeterministic and unpredictable: The Net's underlying TCP/IP protocol makes no quality of service guarantees and promises nothing about the route a message will take or whether it will arrive.
This need for people to behave in a predictable, rational, measurable way recalls Mr. Spock's autistic inability to understand human emotion without counting dimples to discern happiness or frown lines to identify sorrow. It's likewise reminiscent of scientology, which uses quantitative charts of personality traits, such as "lack of accord" and "certainty," to help people become 100 percent happy, composed, and so on.
Asimov tacitly acknowledged that his algorithmic approach to the world is problematic. It's why so many of his stories hinge on what happens when a robot confronts a situational paradox - say, the need to lie to its masters to keep them from experiencing the "harm" of unhappiness. Nevertheless, throughout the robot stories, there is a yearning for people to be better behaved and to steer clear of their superstitious dread of machines gone amok, something Asimov and his characters are forever calling "the Frankenstein complex."
In 1992, at age 72, Asimov died of complications from AIDS contracted through tainted blood following heart surgery. In his later years, he had become an enthusiastic computer supporter, even acting as the pitchman for RadioShack's TRS-80 PC. Right up to the end, he wrote about his robots as though they were right around the corner.
Asimov's stories aren't brilliant fiction; he was no prose stylist and his characters, especially women, are wooden and one-dimensional. His work is a kind of proto-fiction, stuff caught in the Burgess Shale of the genre, from a time before the field shed its gills and developed lungs, feet, and believable characters. What makes Asimov's robots stand out, even today, is the resiliency of his imagination. Despite the complete failure of anything like a thinking robot to appear on the scene, the vision endures. Many people still believe that someday soon we'll have thinking robots living among us.

The Oklahoma City VA Medical Center must implement changes handed down from a national Veterans Affairs review team before staff can reopen the hospital's heart surgery program.
After more than a month, Oklahoma City VA hospital heart program still closed
Since October, five heart patients at the Oklahoma City VA died within 30 days of their surgeries, prompting the temporary closure of the program in early June.
A review team from the VA's National Surgery Office came to Oklahoma City in early July and issued recommendations about what needs to be done to reopen the program.
Dr. Mark Huycke, the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center's chief of staff, said he anticipates the hospital's cardiac surgery program will reopen in the coming weeks once staff members implement the recommendations.
Huycke declined to share those recommendations, citing a federal regulation that exempts the information from a Freedom of Information Act request.
"When we feel we have in place those things they want us to put in place before resuming surgery, we will seek approval from our network in Jackson, Miss., and they will look at what we've done, and we will certify to them that we've got things in place as requested," Huycke said. "Once they agree, they will give us the green light to resume the program."
Other reviewers found that none of the Oklahoma City surgeons acted improperly.
Since the program was halted, the Oklahoma City VA has referred two patients to the Houston VA and eight patients to local community hospitals to receive care. VA staff plans to send a ninth patient to a local hospital next week, hospital spokeswoman Stacy Rine said.
Huycke said this was the first time in his five years as chief of staff that the National Surgery Office has halted and reviewed an Oklahoma City VA surgical program.
Death prompts review
The hospital's heart surgery program was halted after leaders from the Oklahoma City and regional VA network learned of a fifth patient's death after surgery in June. Leaders at the regional and state level then requested the National Surgery Office review the program and the recent deaths.
Documents received by The Oklahoman in response to a Freedom of Information Act request show the fifth veteran died after a surgery that went well. The veteran was in the intensive care unit and then died after his or her blood pressure spiked well above normal levels.
Dr. Gregg Parker, the chief medical director of the South Central VA Health Care Network, wrote in an email June 10 to other medical professionals in the VA system that the Oklahoma City VA's heart surgery program was being halted pending a review from the National Surgery Office, in part, because the regional network didn't have the expertise to perform the review internally.

A closer look
These documents were included in 21 pages of records provided to The Oklahoman after a Freedom of Information Act request to the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center concerning the hospital's cardiac surgery program. Several of the pages are heavily redacted to obscure information that VA officials said could result in "an unwarranted invasion of an individual's personal privacy."
There's transparency there. We want to make sure we're doing everything properly, and we're delivering quality care to veterans."

elephantjournal.com reviews: Pangea Organics' hand soap.
Use the word Soaponification in a Sentence
Your strawberry shampoo, likely, has about as much to do with strawberries as…Big K Diet Orange soda with oranges. Conventional soap manufacturers put a lot of crap in their products, some of which serves to get you clean. What their products leave behind, however—both on your skin and in our waterstream—is a lot of chemicals.
Pangea Organics, on the other hand, fills its hip packaging with nothing but real vegetable oils, glycerin (which forms naturally in the soaponification process) and other ingredients you don't need a scientific chart to know about. And you get your lovely smells, your pretty colors, your nice lather, and your bad self all cleaned up, just the same. There's no GMOs, animal testing, preservatives, sulphites or detergents.
Of course, to paraphrase wassername in Jerry Maguire, Pangea had me at the 'hip packaging.'

Receiving weird SMS notifications
Hi, guys
Just to take it to your consideration, For the last couple of days, SMS notifications scheduled for my tasks are coming in as a chaing of weird characters, and by that I mean something like the following:
"@R@e@c@o@r@d@a@t@o@r@i@o" and since it's even hard to write it, I have included a screenshot. :-S
All responses
The screen shot ;-)
Hello Joel,
Please go to the Settings -> Reminders, select one of the other 3 countries to send the SMS from and see if all 4 cause these issues. Also, let me know what was supposed to be the name of the task in this message?
Hi, David
It is not happening with all countries I am receiving SMS messages from. When I receive the next one, I will let you know which is the phone number the message is coming from.
Regards and sorry for the delay on getting back to you.
Hi, David
I did as you indicated (changed the phone number SMS notifications are coming from) and it is all normal again.
Will let you know if there is any change

Olanow was enthusiastic about the results. "This doesn't prove unequivocally that it [rasagiline] is neuroprotective, but there is no other rational explanation for the results," he said. "This is good news for Parkinson's patients."
Asked if he would prescribe the drug for that reason, Olanow said, "Yes, I would personally prescribe it."
A much more skeptical response came from Dr. William J. Weiner, chair of neurology at the University of Maryland, who took part in the study.
"The authors were very careful in the paper not to indicate that they had shown neuroprotection," Weiner said. "The tone of the article itself is moderate."
The methods used to determine trial results need scrutiny, he said. "They used a lot of very fancy mathematical models, some of which had not been used before," Weiner said. "Most neurologists wouldn't understand the mathematical models they used. Research neurologists don't deal with equations about the slope of curves."
And the end results were not impressive, he maintained. "The difference reported in the study is less than two points on a scale that has 150 points," Weiner said.
The reason why the lower dose worked, and the higher one didn't? "It simply could be luck," he said.
While rasagiline can provide benefits in reducing symptoms of early Parkinson's disease, Weiner said he was worried that "patients will be given what I believe to be false hopes" by the new study.
"It has mild symptomatic effects, but I do not prescribe this drug for neuroprotection and this study doesn't convince me to do that," Weiner said.
Several of the study authors have received consulting or lecturing fees from pharmaceutical companies, including Teva, the

The international financial crises of the 1980s and 1990s have spawned widespread calls for reform of the "international financial architecture." A good deal of reform is already taking place:
To date, however, little reform has occurred in the functioning of the main international financial institutions (IFIs)—the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Two reports have recently been published on this set of issues. The first, from an Independent Task Force sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), was unanimously agreed by its members and released in September 1999. The group included a number of notable Americans including Paul Volcker, George Soros, several corporate CEOs, former Cabinet members Ray Marshall and Jim Schlesinger, top economists including Martin Feldstein and Paul Krugman, former members of Congress Lee Hamilton and Vin Weber, and political experts Ken Duberstein and Norman Ornstein. It was co-chaired by former cabinet members Peter G. Peterson and Carla Hills, and directed by my colleague Morris Goldstein.
The second report, released in March 2000, is from the International Financial Institutions Advisory Committee (IFIAC) created by Congress in 1998. According to the Dallas Morning News of March 13, its "majority was handpicked by (House Majority Leader Richard) Armey." The IFIAC split by a vote of 7 ˝ – 3 ˝ (with the halves reflecting the fact that one member signed both the majority and the dissenting statements). I and three colleagues submitted a joint dissent, which is included in the published report.
As the only person who was a member of both commissions, I believe it is valuable to compare the two reports in considering the proper path for reform of the IMF. There was significant agreement between them on several key issues:
The differences between the two reports, however, are much more significant than their similarities. Some of the central proposals of the IFIAC majority are radical, would almost certainly increase rather than decrease global monetary instability, and thus would be deeply injurious to the national interests of the United States. The differences between the CFR and IFIAC reports with respect to the IMF, the focus of today's hearing, can be grouped under two main headings.
First, the IFIAC report paints a very misleading picture of the impact of the IFIs over the past fifty years. The economic record of that period is a success unparalleled in human history, both for the advanced industrial countries and for most of the developing nations. Hundreds of millions of the poorest people on earth have been lifted out of poverty. The severe monetary crises of recent years have been overcome quickly with little lasting impact on the world economy. The IFIs have contributed substantially to this record.
In his article on the IFIAC report in the Financial Times on March 8, Martin Wolf concluded that "on most measures, the IFIs have been a staggering success." The bottom line is unambiguously positive but the IFIAC majority portrays a negative picture that badly distorts reality. By contrast, the CFR report emphasizes that "As costly as the Asian crisis has been, no doubt we would have seen even deeper recessions, more competitive devaluations, more defaults and more resort to trade restrictions if no financial support had been provided by the IMF to the crisis countries."
Second, the recommendations of the IFIAC majority would severely undermine the ability of the IMF to deal with financial crises and hence would promote global instability. As Paul Krugman put it in his op-ed on the report in the New York Times on March 8, the majority "suggested restrictions that would in effect make even emergency lending impossible."
The problem is that the majority would authorize the Fund to lend only to countries that had prequalified for its assistance by meeting a series of criteria related to the stability of their domestic financial systems. This approach has two fatal flaws:
In contrast, the CFR report would retain the fiscal and monetary policy conditionality necessary to underpin improvements in the balance of payments in crisis countries, and it would avoid the "all or nothing" flaw of the IFIAC proposals by permitting IMF financial support to countries of systemic importance. At the same time, it would promote the proper incentives by allowing countries who did more to prevent crises to pay less for their IMF borrowing, and by permitting very large loans only after a super-majority of creditor countries had determined that the situation did indeed represent a systemic crisis.
The radical proposal of the IFIAC is based on the view that "moral hazard" is the dominant problem facing the global financial system. The problem with this view is that there is no empirical support for it. The majority's argument that the Mexican support package caused the East Asia crisis is pure theory and, indeed, theology. The CFR report recognizes that some degree of "moral hazard" exists whenever insurance contracts are written but places that concern in proper perspective relative to other risks and addresses it through a series of much more constructive steps (smaller IMF lending packages, greater flexibility of exchange rates, greater private-sector sharing of debt workout costs, etc.).
Recent Developments
The recent meetings in Washington of the IMF's International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), and of the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of the G-7, addressed several of these issues. They properly rejected virtually all of the radical proposals of the IFIAC majority:
I believe that neither the CFR nor the IFIAC reports, nor the recent IMFC and G-7 meetings, have addressed some of the key problems still facing the international monetary system. Proposals to deal with them are laid out in the additional views that I and several other participants appended to the CFR report:
Further reform of the international financial architecture thus remains essential. The CFR and IFIAC reports point the way toward a number of constructive steps. The IFIAC report also suggests a number of destructive ideas, however, that must be rejected. Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers did so in his testimony to the House Banking Committee on March 23, echoing much of our joint dissent from the recommendations of the IFIAC majority, and so did the official bodies that met here recently. I believe that renewed attention to the CFR Report, in whose direction Secretary Summers has made several initial proposals, would be a fruitful step toward further desirable reform.

Jump to: [Synopsis] [Comments]
Logline:In order to protect his daughter, a former '60s radical is forced to go underground and seek out an old partner in crime.
Synopsis:It's a typical morning for middle-aged SHARON SOLARZ. She goes to the gas station, buys a cup of coffee and a muffin, fills her tank… And is shocked when FBI agents surround her and place her under arrest. A montage of TV reporters explain than Sharon Solarz was arrested in upstate New York for her role in a Weather Underground bank robbery in Michigan that resulted in the murder of an off-duty police officer, which put the entire group on the FBI's Most Wanted list for nearly 30 years. The next morning, attorney JIM GRANT (60s), wakes his daughter, IZZY (11), and takes her to school. At the Albany Times, editor RAY FULLER sends one of his annoyed reporters, BEN SHEPARD, to talk about Sharon's arrest with a contact he has at the FBI. Ben assumes nobody will care about the story, but Fuller won't take "no" for an answer.
At the school, Jim runs into BILLY CUSIMANO (late 50s), a burned-out hippie who tells Jim all about Sharon's arrest. Billy tries to convince Jim to take her case, but Jim insists that it's out of his league. When Billy tries to press him, Jim becomes hostile and recommends another attorney. Ben talks to FBI agent DIANA about Sharon. Diana denies Ben's request for an interview with Sharon, leaving Ben without much. Reluctantly, Diana tells Ben that Sharon came to town to visit Billy Cusimano, an old friend who runs an organic grocery store. That afternoon, Jim picks up Izzy, who has spent the afternoon with neighbor MOLLY SACKLER (40s, attractive). Izzy asks Jim if Molly can go camping with them over the weekend. Jim is apprehensive. Ben interviews Billy, who accidentally suggests that Sharon was arrested because she wanted to turn herself in. When Ben tries to press him on this, Billy refers him to his attorney, Jim Grant. Almost immediately, he lets slip that he tried to get Jim to take Sharon's case, but he refused. The story suddenly intrigues Ben.
The next morning, Jim packs a bag for Izzy. He carries it down to the car, where Izzy waits. She asks why they've packed so much, but Jim denies it's any more gear than usual. They drive off into the mountains. Ben tries to contact Jim's office. When he receives no answer, Ben goes to Jim's home. Again, nobody answers, but Molly spots him. Ben introduces himself, and Molly denies any knowledge of where Jim is or when he'll be home. Jim and Izzy hike along a trail, then pitch a tent and set up a campsite around it. Izzy digs through a bag Jim has packed for her — but it's not the same bag we saw him pack earlier. The next day, while heading home, Jim calls Molly. She gives him a heads-up about Ben poking around, then tells him that the morning's paper mentioned Jim's connection to Billy and Billy's connection to Sharon.
Irritated, Jim meets with Ben, who tries to grill Jim on a deeper connection to Sharon. Frustrated with Ben's questions, Jim makes it his goal to offend Ben into leaving. When it doesn't work, Jim walks away. Fuller tells Ben to drop the story because there is no story. Despite this, Ben continues to accumulate information on the Weather Underground and contact people related to Sharon Solarz. When he can't dig up any relevant information, Ben ambushes Jim outside a courtroom to ask more questions, Jim tells Ben to fuck off. Jim, Molly, and Izzy have dinner with friends out in the country. Jim gets a sleeping Izzy in the car and starts driving. Eventually, she wakes up and asks where they're going. Jim tells them it's a little adventure, an early vacation.
Billy sees Ben at the courthouse and accuses him of running his lawyer off. Billy says he's in trouble for aiding and abetting, and Jim hasn't shown up. Ben's baffled. He asks Billy why Jim wouldn't represent Sharon. Billy doesn't know, but Ben is obsessed with this question — it's exactly the kind of case Jim would take, but he hands it over to someone else. Why? Way upstate, right across the river from Canada, Jim takes Izzy to the bus station. He buys an adult and child ticket to Toronto, then puts Izzy in the ladies' room while he goes in the men's room. He changes into a ridiculous "tourist" outfit — tropical shirt, white pants, sunglasses — and buys two adult tickets to Boston. He retrieves Izzy, who's baffled by the new apparel. Meanwhile, Ben has found out that Molly called the police to report Jim and Izzy missing. He takes that to the FBI, along with information about a middle-aged man matching Jim's description buying bus tickets to Toronto. Ben points out that Mimi Lurie, an accomplice in the bank robbery, was last seen in Canada. He knows there's some kind of connection but doesn't know what. Later, Ben meets with a private investigator who has dug up some interesting infromation on Jim Grant — he had no Social Security number or record of existence between 1942 (the date of his birth certificate) and 1978 (the year he filed for Social Security), except for a death certificate in 1944 for two-year-old James Marshall Grant, who died in a car crash. Ben returns to the FBI and tells them to check Jim Grant's fingerprints against Nicholas Sloan, another fugitive from the robbery. When they ask why, Ben proudly announces that Jim Grant is Nick Sloan.
Jim and Izzy arrive at a New York City bus station. They have a fun day together, going to Central Park, FAO Schwartz, etc., before checking into a large, fancy hotel. Jim takes Izzy up to their room without realizing that TVs around the hotel are tuned to CNN, which is reporting Jim Grant's true identity. He tucks Izzy into bed and reluctantly announces that her aunt and uncle will be by shortly to pick her up, and she's going to have to stay with them for awhile. He leaves her with the bag he packed much earlier, then goes downstairs to the hotel lobby. Without ever stopping or making eye contact, Jim passes off the hotel key to his brother DANIEL, muttering the room and floor as Daniel mutters instructions on which exit to take. Jim waits in the hotel bar, catches sight of an FBI agent, CORNELIUS, who spots Jim and gives chase. Jim rushes down to the subway as the FBI agents pursue, allowing Daniel to make a clean break with Izzy. Jim disappears into the rush-hour crowd. Later, after Daniel has gotten Izzy back to his house, Jim gives Izzy a call and promises he'll be back as soon as he takes care of some mysterious business. Izzy's not happy.
Jim hands the cell phone he's using back to its rightful owner, a chubby businessman in a fast-food restaurant. He rushes off and disappears. Although they didn't apprehend him, Ben's information was good, so Cornelius allows him to interview Sharon. She talks about their old philosophy. Ben steers the conversation in the direction of Nick Sloan. Sharon isn't sure she wants to speculate on what he's up to or why, but she tells him that, in an era of free love and revellion, Nick and Mimi Lurie were deeply in love and were willingly coupled up. Ben is certain Sharon is hinting at something deeper, but he doesn't know what. Cornelius insists that Jim is on the run and will never be seen again. Ben isn't so sure, because he left his daughter behind.
Outside Big Sur, California, MIMI LURIE runs bales of marijuana into the U.S. using a fancy yacht as cover. Jim, meanwhile, has dyed his hair and is on a train headed to an unknown destination. It reaches a larger train station, which has a police presence, and cops board the train. Struck with sudden paranoia, he rushes from compartment to compartment, looking for an available bathroom to hide in. He calms down when he realizes the cops boarded to arrest a random hoodlum, not Jim. Later, Jim gets off in an isolated, country stop, where he disappears into a thicket of trees. Jim wanders the streets of Milwaukee as Ben tries to piece together what, exactly Jim is doing — none of his actions make any sense if he's guilty. MAC McLEOD, Mimi's partner in crime, mentions Sharon surfacing willingly and subtly hints that maybe Mimi's ready to do the same. Mimi adamantly refuses.
As Ben flies to Michigan to retrace the steps of the original crime, Jim heads to a Milwaukee lunch spot and startles DONAL, his old best friend. Jim believes Donal came to her after the robbery for help disappearing. He wants to know what information Donal gave her — anything that would lead Jim to Mimi. Ben, meanwhile, meets with ex-cop HENRY OSBORNE, who was the first one to catch up with one of the fugitives after the robbery. Osborne is evasive, doubly so when wife MARIANNE and daughter REBECCA (late 20s) arrive. Donal gives Jim a car and a name: Jed Lewis. Jim remembers him from the old days and is surprised Jed never told him about helping Mimi. At the end of his rope, Ben searches local archives, interviews bank employees and customers, surveys the bank itself… All roads lead back to Osborne. Ben flirts with daughter Rebecca and tries to grill Osborne about his connection to Mimi's father. Osborne tells him the connection is well known — they were good friends who served together in Vietnam.
Mac tells Mimi it's time to give up. Mimi disagrees — she feels it's time to run again. Jim abandons Donal's car in the middle of nowhere, then hops in a rental car. The cops find Donal's car and it makes all the papers. Ben sees it as a message — but maybe not to reporters or cops. Ben slowly convinces Rebecca to open up to him, and he starts to fall for her. Jim drives to Chicago and meets with JED LEWIS, now a college professor. Jed doesn't want to help him with anything until Jim mentions Mimi's his only hope of getting his daughter back. Jed uses a pay phone to get in touch with a bunch of old radical friends, eventually leading him to Mac. Mac calls Mimi, who's renting a boat in Michigan. After awhile, Mimi calls the pay phone and tells Jed she'll meet Jim — and that Jim already knows where. Jed tells Jim never to contact him again. Mimi tells the boat renter that she plans to take the boat across the lake to Canada, but she won't need it for a few days. She makes a deposit.
Jim drives to Michigan. Ben looks at some Osborne family photos when he discovers something interesting — a photo of Osborne and Mimi's father fishing at a place called Linder Pond. Ben recognizes the name and seeks out the land owned by Linder Logging. The owner of a camping store in their woods tells him the company used to be Linder-Lurie. Jim and Mimi meet in a secluded cabin. Meanwhile, Ben returns to Osborne with a sudden realization: "Nick Sloan" and Mimi had nothing to do with the murder itself. They were the drivers; Sharon and Vince Dallesandro (the only one who was caught) were actually the ones in the bank. If Mimi comes forward, they can be each others' alibis and get off scot-free. Jim and Mimi sleep together, and Jim attempts to persuade Mimi to turn herself in. She refuses on the basis of her political convictions. Jim subtly tells her to grow up — things have changed, they have different responsibilities, he doesn't want to leave Izzy behind and repeat an old mistake. Mimi admits she saw "her" in Ann Arbor and that she's beautiful.
Rebecca calls Ben, telling her that Osborne told her to come home immediately because he has some important news to give her, something that has to do with Ben coming to town and the fact that Rebecca was adopted. This is the first Ben has heard of the adoption, but he puts it together immediately. The Osbornes falsified Rebecca's identity to allow for a legal adoption after Mimi and "Nick" dropped their baby off with them and disappeared. Back at the cabin, Mimi tells Jim she can't do what he's asking her. The next day, she leaves, headed off for Canada. Ben searches the woods for the cabin. He finds Jim, who's preparing to leave and isn't exactly thrilled to see Ben. Ben's proud of himself for figuring everything out, but Jim's unimpressed. His life is ruined — again — and much of the blame in Jim's mind lies with Ben. He tells Ben to tell the Feds that Mimi is with him, then starts running.
The FBI arrives shortly thereafter and gives chase. Jim is caught by Cornelius, with Osborne assisting. Mimi's on her boat, headed for Canada, when she suddenly changes course to head south. A news anchorwoman announces in voiceover that Mimi Lurie has given herself up to authorities. Jim is released from jail, a free man, and is finally able to reunite with Izzy.
Comments:The Company You Keep is populated with vivid, interesting characters and crisp dialogue. However, the story grinds to a halt midway through and never regains the momentum of its suspenseful and surprising first act. It's possible that the right cast and director can keep the energy and vitality up throughout, and it's also possible that the dull patches will hit the cutting-room floor. Top-notch talent could change everything, but as written, the script merits a pass.
The story does a great job, in its first act, of establishing the characters and building suspense. The twist that Jim was actually one of the bank robbers is surprising, and his flight from justice is effectively suspenseful. It's only when he arrives in Milwaukee that the story starts to take a nosedive. Jim's search for Mimi lasts for much longer than it needs to , and Ben's subplot gets too bogged down in restating the plot twists. It's probably more realistic that Jim has to travel all over the Midwest running down old contacts, but it's unengaging and devoid of suspense. This leads to a third act that tries to recapture the energy of the first but can't quite get it back, even with additional surprising twists (e.g., Rebecca turning out to be the daughter of Jim and Mimi).
The characters, on the other hand, are well-written and nuanced. Even extraneous characters like Jed, Donal, and Mac are imbued with specific details that allow them to rise above '60s radical clichés. Jim's main conflict — trying to both protect his daughter from his past crimes and ensure his ability to raise her by proving his "innocence" — is a great way to make the character sympathetic and relatable, although the story loses focus on this during the tedious second act. Nonetheless, their reunion in the final scene is effective. Ben's transformation from disinterest to obsession happens a little quickly, but it's still refreshing to see him start out as apathetic instead of the stereotypical dogged reporter who wants to get at all costs. Mimi is the only weak link. She's not poorly developed so much as shrill and self-absorbed. These would be fine character traits if anyone else took the time to point out her selfishness and hypocrisy. In a story with themes about aging and changing views about life and political convictions, it might have been more interesting if Jim had reunited with his long-lost love and found he really didn't like her much.
This is a thriller with a great deal of promise that's wasted on a bloated narrative. It requires either major story tightening or extremely skillful filmmaking and acting in order to elevate it to anything above a pass.

BRIER HILL A Brier Hill couple was arrested Thursday by state police resulting from a month-old domestic incident.
Police responded to a report of a domestic dispute Nov. 6 at the residence of Matthew P. McLean, 27, and his wife, Bobbie Jo, 35, at 2713 Rout 37, where an alleged verbal argument took place, resulting in Mr. McLean damaging property in the residence and violating an order of protection, according to a police release.
After learning a warrant had been issued for his arrest related to the domestic incident, police said, Mrs. McLean told them she was unaware of his whereabouts; they finally located him Thursday at their home when responding to another domestic dispute.
Mr. McLean was charged with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation. He was arraigned in Morristown Town Court and taken to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, where he is being held on $10,000 cash bail.
Mrs. McLean was charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor, and issued an appearance ticket.
Both are to appear in Morristown Town Court.

Does Size Matter?
There was an interesting exchange on the recent Java Posse pod cast about the Java Kernel project, and how important size is to the JRE download. (Hmm, that's the second JP plug in as many months -- I wonder if I qualify for a Posse t-shirt or something? :) They referenced Robert Cooper's thought provoking blog which compares download sizes for various products, thus:
JRE 1.5.0 Windows offline installation: 16.00 MB Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8: 27.7 MB Real Player 10.5: 13.5 MB .NET 1.1: 23.1 MB
This got me thinking: is the problem more to do with Psychology than actual byte size?
In shops, products are regularly sold at a penny under the pound (dollar/whatever.) We get an awkward 19.99 rather than a nice round 20, because the discounted penny has some kind of strange mental trickery: we see only the 19 pounds and somehow subconsciously consider the product cheap(er).It's very hard to tap your subconscious mind, to snapshot your true first reaction to something: that instinctive judge-a-book-by-its-cover response which we know we should ignore, but often find hard to shake off. But I've been giving a lot of thought to how I personally view download sizes...
Strange as it might seem, for some reason if I see a program with a small download size I tend to be lulled into a false sense of security. "Oh, it's only 50k in size. Probably 'mostly harmless'." For some reason larger downloads take a wee bit more bravery to install. "Wow, 190Mb! That must be some heavy duty software. I wonder if the installation will screw up anything else on my PC?"
Irrational, I know!
I remember reading somewhere -- although I can't for the life of me recall where -- that many average users consider computers to be very fragile. They have no idea how to configure their Windows desktop, they don't understand what the icons in the Control Panel are for, so they live with a constant nagging fear that something might change or stop working and they won't know how to fix it. Seen in that light, it would be entirely understandable if new software was seen as a threat -- something which could potentially change something on their PC, or worse still stop it from working at all! And the larger the download, the more heavyweight the software, and therefore the more chance it will mess something up or change something important.
But if that was the whole picture, nothing would ever get installed! Surely the truth is more complex than that?
Perhaps we are dealing with something more akin to a 'bang-for-your-buck' principle? You know how it goes: your eye is drawn to an item in a shop, and by the time you flip the price ticket over you've already subconsciously made a decision as to what you consider the price should be. The trick from a sales point of view is to make you expect a high price, and be pleasantly surprised by the 'reasonable' one on the label.
The Flash plugin may not be small, but its glossy eye candy appeal makes the users think that the download size 'on the label' is going to be bigger than it actually is. In bang-for-your-buck terms (impact versus megabytes) Flash looks like a real bargain.
Java, on the other hand, is a far more general purpose tool. Any given applet will only show off a fraction of the capabilities of the entire Java platform. The 'wow factor' usually isn't as strong, and Joe User doesn't really comprehend what Java is 'about' (unlike with Flash, which benefits from being very focuses on specific types of functionality.) As such the perceived bang-for-your-buck looks less favourable than Flash. "I have to download and install how big a plug-in to make your wavy lake applet work?!?!? Hmm... I don't think I'll bother!"
Perhaps there's another factor involved here too, which I'm going to call the 'necessary-evil' principle. It accounts for why some bloated oversized applications seem to become must-have installations.
Adobe Acrobat's download size (27.7Mb) is huge for what it apparently offers. In my opinion Acrobat's bang-for-your-buck rating is very very poor. But(!) the PDF format is frequently used for crucial data which Joe User from time to time really wants to read. Specs, government/business reports, product data, sample letters/forms, etc, etc. None of this has a particular 'wow' factor, but it is stuff which the end user typically considers important -- unlike Flash eye candy. And given that PDF is Adobe's own file format, they have a reasonably strong lock-in with their software products.
The user may not like the huge Acrobat download size -- but they realise that they need a good PDF viewer, and this is the most feature-complete one there is.
So where does this leave the JRE?
Reducing the JRE size is a worthy cause, but as a community we must also work hard to get Java associated with the most jaw-dropping, mind-boggling, awe-inspiring, must-have software on the desktop and browser. We really need to push Java to its limits and exploit all its best selling points. So when 'Joe User' is confronted with the "Please install the Java plugin" dialogue on his brand new virgin laptop, he immediately thinks of all the outstanding ground breaking (and/or indispensable) Java stuff he's seen, takes one look at the download size and says out loud "Wow! Now THAT'S cheap!"

In this lesson, we are going to have a look at one way to make a negative sentence. Here, you can learn how to say that something is NOT something, like "It's not me." or "It's not a book." In Korean, if you want to say that something is NOT something you say the noun and add the expression 아니에요 [a-ni-e-yo] at the end. Listen to the lesson to find out more about this expression and be sure to check out the free PDF file too. If you have any questions, please ask us any questions in the comment! Thank you!
You can read more about 아니다 (a-ni-da) at this Korean Wiki Project page.
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.
