Puna's special election brings up big issuesUPDATED 7:31 PM HST Aug 16, 2014
The final tally for the Primary's Senate race leave candidates and Big Island residents questioning the circumstances.Video Transcript
Senate candidates Brian Shatz and Colleen Hanabusa spent a low-key day following an intense week campaigning in Puna. Shatz maintained his lead in the hotly contested race-- winning with less than one percent of the vote. The final tally which included the two Puna precincts was 115,401 for Shatz and 113,632 for Hanabusa. KITV's Catherine Cruz was on the Big Island for last nights election returns and has our top story. 34-39 second time! 48-53 111-117 141-147 150-155 Day breaks in sleepy Hilo. And as Big Island residents stir the elections results are the talk of the town-- along the bayfront-- at the Saturday morning farmers market and on the street corners and bus stops. Joe Medieros lamented the low turnout, Auwe--as some saywhen something bad happens. Medieros points to bad timing and changing the vote from absentee to walk in balloting. - Joe Medieros 23 40- 23: 23 - "The could have held it off a little while longer," Some residents hailed the shift from the Honolulu centric focus shifted to rural Puna and the chance to put their issues top of mind from Albizias to agriculture. - 33:46 -33:56 -"We see what these new elected winners do to help everybody and stuff now," Lots of eyes were on the candidates who upped their profile in Puna this week. - Shatz 31:03- 31: 19 -"Someone said to me yesterday if you get in keep the Big Isand in your heart, when you get into the senate and I said its guaranteed thats what I am going what I am going to do is the keep the spirt of the people Big Island and the spirit of the neighbor islands while I am in washington," Hanabusa stopped short of saying she would challenge the results and has until the end of the week to decide. - HANABUSA -"There are still people who feel disenfranchised but these are the resuls that we have deal with. and my campaign will of course evaluate it but i think that it's a very interesting situation where we have 2000 votes, actually 1700 votes that's gonna decide the United States senate race." And then there's that 11th hour issue of hundreds of uncounted votes from Maui that were added to the mix. Macario Balucan 36: 38-36:47 -"I want to know what happen.I want to know where those 600 came from, why it took so long for the find out about those 600 votes, and I am pretty sure alot of poeple what to find out also because its only fair," - Cruz 40:33 -40: 50 - With the back to back storms, a unexplained batch of uncounted maui ballots, and a possible election challenge, the 2014 primaries will go down as one for record books. In Hilo, Catherine Cruz

The Henningsens are spending the summer introducing themselves and their music to fans across the country by releasing their debut EP and hitting the road with Brad Paisley's Beat This Summer Tour. To interact with the new fans they've made along the way, the band has launched a new website, www.TheHenningsensWereHere.com.
On the site, fans cast votes to choose from an ongoing range of activities for the band to accomplish, with the end results documented in photos and video and posted online. By visiting the site or following the group on social media sites, fans will learn of new opportunities to choose the band's next mission including community visits, charitable activities, performances, and more.
Among the upcoming voting opportunities are the chance to select a Chicago fire station to receive a band serenade and pizza delivery and a San Francisco non-profit to receive a $500 donation. Other votes could include choosing crazy regional foods for the band to eat or selecting a song for the band to parody.
In addition to launching their new website, The Henningsens have also released their latest single, "I Miss You," to country radio as the follow up to their Top 15 debut hit, "American Beautiful." The new single can be streamed at www.TheHenningsens.com.

Best of Toronto
The Best Tacos in Toronto
The best tacos in Toronto are easy to take for granted. Tacos are cheap, delicious and seemingly everywhere these days — although many will remember this was not always the case. Once an underrepresented genre, Mexican and So-Cal street food has only recently caught on in Toronto. My own first taco experience was almost certainly out of an Old El Paso box or perhaps at a Chi Chi's. Anyone else remember that abomination?
Fortunately, an influx of new taquerias have bettered Toronto's taco landscape forever, and connoisseurs of mouthwatering carnitas, al pastors and lengua have much to enjoy.
Here is where to find the best tacos in Toronto.

The Best Mexican Restaurants in Toronto
Seven Lives
Now with a space on Kensington Avenue to call their own, Seven Lives is a true destination restaurant for some of the best tacos this side of San Diego. The blackened mahi mahi and the Gobinator, a smoked marlin and shrimp filled corn tortilla might be their forte, but the pork belly and carne asada are equally good. Single tacos are sold for $3-5 each. More »
Grand Electric
The chalkboard menu at this Parkdale taco and bourbon bar boasts an assortment of excellent $3 regulars and daily specials like beef cheek and pork belly al pastor served atop soft tortillas. Better still is the Guu Izakaya-inspired spicy squid ($9), piled super high and stained neon orange with hot sauce. Line-ups are a given. More »
La Carnita
Once a pop-up and Toronto Underground Market original, La Carnita in Little Italy serves up Mexican street foods like queso-covered corn on the cob and churros along with outstanding $5 tacos. The fried cod slathered with signature Voltron sauce and lime crema is an easy favourite, but more surprising on the gringo-centric menu is the mouthwatering ancho braised beef cheek plated with avocado and green cabbage. More »
Playa Cabana Cantina
This lively Junction cantina makes tacos and tequila its niche and dishes out eight different varieties atop house-made corn tortillas, three at a time ($13-14) like ancho braised short rib or the Oaxacan wrapped chorizo tacos. Hiding on the separate appetizer menu, the Octo-tacos ($10) dressed up with charred jalapeno salsa are excellent as well and keep an eye out for their lobster taco specials. Need a more central spot? Their original restaurant can be found near Dupont and Davenport and a third location is on its way. More »
Named for the Mexican painter, this upscale Eglinton West spot makes tacos their masterpiece. Served three per order ($9-$13), housemade corn tortillas come loaded with supple meats (though pork is atypically absent) like Cabrito (goat) and Texcoco-style braised lamb topped with the requisite chopped onions, coriander and a squirt of lime. If you want high-end Mexican dining (by Toronto standards) at a price point that's still accessible, this is the place. More »
Tacos El Asador
This well worn Koreatown taqueria has been dishing up stellar Central American street foods since 1993, long before Toronto's taco trend peaked. Order soft or crispy tacos ($2.30-$3.30) at the counter then squish in shoulder to shoulder at one of the few picnic tables to tuck into excellent tortillas doubled up and filled with a choice of meat. More »
In addition to the nine varieties of deceptively simple tacos ($8/3 or $11/5) like the sausage and potato filled Chirizo con Papas, the menu at this St. Clair restaurant channels lucha libre (a collection of masks adorn the bar) with killer specialties like a fried chicken taco and pineapple, sausage and queso rendition ($14/5). Casual, fun and decidedly authentic. More »
Asada Mexican Grill
This recently opened fast casual restaurant on St. Clair West customizes housemade tortillas to order at the counter full of fresh toppings. Soft or crisp tortillas are filled with a choice of stewed meats and served 3 per order for about $9 (plus $3 for baja style seafood). Top them off yourself at the self serve salsa bar with seven varieties of hot sauce. More »

El pastor tacos hands downs the best..
Johnsonstarfish - there is no way they have a higher % of Latinos in Al Pastor than these two...
(No, I don't work for Salsas, but I live down the street and am often confronted with whether I should pay $15 for three Seven Lives tacos or like $7 for the less-fancy but more authentic and still delicious Salsas tacos.) (I usually go for the Salsas tacos.)
Mucho Burrito smokes these shit holes by far.
In an unrelated topic: I freaking hate Grand Electric!
Get back in touch when you move to the city, honey.
Try it! You won't be disappointed ;)
P.S - I linked to Rebozos' site but I don't work there. I'm just a huge fan!

Global Economy
Each of these curves (I owe Net Gain author John Hagel credit for these four examples) is a classic template of exponential growth, compounding in a nonlinear way. Biologists know about exponential growth; such curves are almost the definition of a biological system. That's one reason the Network Economy is often described more accurately in biological terms. Indeed, if the Web feels like a frontier, it's because for the first time in history we are witnessing biological growth in technological systems.
At the same time, each of the above examples is a classic model of the Network Economy. The compounded successes of Microsoft, FedEx, fax machines, and the Internet all hinge on the prime law of networks: value explodes exponentially with membership, while this value explosion sucks in yet more members. The virtuous circle inflates until all potential members are joined.
The subtle point from these examples, however, is that this explosion did not ignite until approximately the late 1980s. Something happened then. That something was the dual big bangs of jelly bean chips and collapsing telco charges. It became feasible - that is, dirt cheap - to exchange data almost anywhere, anytime. The net, the grand net, began to nucleate. Network power followed.
Now that we've entered the realm where virtuous circles can unfurl overnight successes in a biological way, a cautionary tale is in order. One day, along the beach, tiny red algae blooms into a vast red tide. Then, a few weeks later, just when the red mat seems indelible, it vanishes. Lemmings boom and disappear. The same biological forces that amplify populations can mute them. The same forces that feed on each other to amplify network presences into powerful overnight standards can also work in reverse to unravel them in a blink. Small beginnings can lead to large results, while large disturbances have only small effects.
In the Network Economy, success is nonlinear.
4 The Law of Tipping Points
Significance precedes momentum
4 The Law of Tipping Points
Significance precedes momentum
There is yet one more lesson to take from these primeval cases of the Network Economy. And here, another biological insight will be handy. In retrospect, one can see from these expo-curves that a point exists where the momentum was so overwhelming that success became a runaway event. Success became infectious, so to speak, and spread pervasively to the extent that it became difficult for the uninfected to avoid succumbing. (How long can you hold out not having a phone?)
In epidemiology, the point at which a disease has infected enough hosts that the infection moves from local illness to raging epidemic can be thought of as the tipping point. The contagion's momentum has tipped from pushing uphill against all odds to rolling downhill with all odds behind it. In biology, the tipping points of fatal diseases are fairly high, but in technology, they seem to trigger at much lower percentages of victims or members.
There has always been a tipping point in any business, industrial or network, after which success feeds upon itself. However, the low fixed costs, insignificant marginal costs, and rapid distribution that we find in the Network Economy depress tipping points below the levels of industrial times; it is as if the new bugs are more contagious - and more potent. Smaller initial pools can lead to runaway dominance.
Lower tipping points, in turn, mean that the threshold of significance - the period before the tipping point during which a movement, growth, or innovation must be taken seriously - is also dramatically lower than it was during the industrial age. Detecting events while they are beneath this threshold is essential.
Major US retailers refused to pay attention to TV home-shopping networks during the 1980s because the number of people watching and buying from them was initially so small and marginalized that it did not meet the established level of retail significance. Instead of heeding the new subtle threshold of network economics, the retailers waited until the alarm of the tipping point sounded, which meant, by definition, that it was too late for them to cash in.
In the past, an innovation's momentum indicated significance. Now, in the network environment, significance precedes momentum.
Biologists tell a parable of the lily leaf, which doubles in size every day. The day before it completely covers the pond, the water is only half covered, and the day before that, only a quarter covered, and the day before that, only a measly eighth. So, while the lily grows imperceptibly all summer long, only in the last week of the cycle would most bystanders notice its "sudden" appearance. But by then, it is far past the tipping point.

Hancock Street buildings, Bangor, ca. 1976
These several buildings on Hancock Street in Bangor, Maine, were demolished as a part of an urban renewal project in the late 1970s. The photograph is included in the William S. Cohen papers and the reverse is labeled in handwriting, "Hancock Street 'Birth House.'" The removal of the buildings was the subject of one of Cohen's poems titled "Hancock Street," published in Of Sons and Seasons by Simon and Schuster in 1978.

Hi.. My name's David. Born in Boston, grew up in North Carolina, and now living in Minneapolis. I'm a big sports fan- football and basketball, particularly college basketball. I rowed In college and try to keep active, although I don't miss the 6 AM practices.
I'm still getting to know the cities. I live and work downtown, so I'm making a conscious effort to get outside the comfort zone of my downtown bubble.
I've been told I have a good sense of humor. I like to think those people are right. I used to write a column for my college newspaper about my different musings. I thought it was very Seinfeld-esque, but it's a little embarrassing looking back now.
I like to travel (who doesn't). Growing up, my family vacations were never to beaches or resorts. We always went to national parks, so I have a deep appreciation for nature. I've been to at least 10 parks.
I enjoy being outside whenever possible. Out east, I go hiking in the Appalachian mountains a week each year. Here, it's been my goal to make friends with people who have a boat or cabin, or preferably both.
Anything else, just ask.

Hitchcock Revised Editionby Francois Truffaut
Synopses & Reviews
"Twenty years later, the book has not only stood up well, its flaws have magically disappeared....The atmosphere remains bracingly constructive from {Hitchcock's and Truffaut's} inspired analysis of Notorious (a film they both loved), to their discussions about superior villains, suspense, movie-time vs. real time, to Hitchcock's tendency to move his camera 'from the farthest to the nearest.' If the 1967 Hitchcock/Truffaut can now be seen as something of a classic, this revised version is even better. In addition to enlarging and improving the graphics, Truffaut has capped it off with a very moving chapter on Hitchcock's final years. Here he dares, as he was not able to before, to make certain dispassionate statements about his friend....It is instructive to compare the defensively gushing Truffaut of the original introduction with the wiser, more measured prose of his final summation."

PROVIDENCE -- Ed Cooley and his Providence College Friars ended up playing eight games in November. It nevertheless seemed that all took a backseat to the reoccurring storylines and hot topics that remain just as fervent as the calendar flips to the second month of the college basketball season.
Yes, the Friars now have seven wins against one defeat, the latest addition to the victory total coming Friday afternoon in a wire-to-wire 76-69 victory over Fairfield. All appears rosy and on the upswing in Friartown with a matchup against John Calipari and his prized collection of Kentucky wunderkinds looming on Sunday, a contest that Cooley added some additional spice to with the following chin music – "I don't give a damn about Kentucky."
Cooley was asked Friday if he had done much homework about Julius Randle and the rest of Kentucky's "Big Blue Machine." The head coach began his response by saying that he has not watched the Wildcats for one … there was no "second" or "moment" that followed "one" as Cooley opted to defuse the David vs. Goliath hype that he has undoubtedly heard in his travels.
"We've got some great players, too. I don't want anyone to look at my team like we're some stepchild hoping to get lucky," Cooley stated boldly. "We're going to go down (to Brooklyn's Barclays Center) and we're going to be confident, passionate and play with a lot of pride."
There's another word that begins with the letter "p" that Cooley should have mentioned as part of his sermon about Kentucky hoops – players.
To date, the Friars have not taken the floor in the regular season with the assembled cast that was expected to be in the fold when the games started to count for real. The Nov. 2 exhibition game against Rhode Island College at The Dunk marks the only "game action" for Rodney Bullock and Brandon Austin, the two first-year PC players who have logged eight straight "DNPs" due to an indefinite suspension that seems more bizarre and head-scratching with each passing day.
If Bullock and Austin were in truly hot water, why then were they permitted to travel to the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam? Such a decision presumably opened the door for each to make their PC debuts. Alas, neither of the first-year Friars saw action during Providence's three-game tournament run.
"They are young men who have made a mistake, and their best support group was in the Virgin Islands," said Cooley. "I want them to know that they are supported 100 percent. They came to (Providence) to be educated and play basketball, and it's a great education to go to St. Thomas, and it's an incredible basketball situation.
"For the people that thought they were going down to play, they were there to support their teammates."
In keeping with this season-long soap opera, Bullock and Austin did not view the Fairfield contest from PC's bench. Kris Dunn was spotted in basketball attire, but due to persistent shoulder woes, the sophomore point guard did not play.
"Not having Kris definitely hurt our depth and pace of play," Cooley said. "His shoulder is sore and right now he's day-to-day. That's a major concern for us. Taking a talent like that off the floor definitely shortens our rotation."
Cooley mentioned that Dunn aggravated the shoulder during Monday's Paradise Jam championship finale against Maryland, a 56-52 defeat (though that came following a spirited comeback). The decision to hold out the only true capable ball-handler on Providence's roster was made Thursday. Dunn, who first suffered the shoulder setback during that aforementioned exhibition game against the Anchormen, has missed half of the Friars' eight games thus far.
"Ed and I are good buddies and we were talking before the game. He mentioned that (Dunn would be a no-go)," said Fairfield mentor Sydney Johnson. "I think they've got to take care of their guys and Ed's just trying to coach up the ones who are healthy."
Cooley should be pleased as punch about how his shorthanded Friars have been able to hold their heads above water and get out of November with what some might say is a surprising 7-1 record – surprising because Providence is far from whole.
"We've had to adjust game to game," said Cooley about the constant shuffling and re-shuffling he's had to do. "A lot of our positions have been pushed up. We probably don't want (Bryce) Cotton on the ball for 40 minutes or Josh (Fortune) at the two (guard) for 40 minutes."
Along those lines, Cooley probably doesn't want to run into the same kind of situation he ran into Friday. After Fortune picked up his fourth foul with 9:23 remaining, Cooley turned to walk-on Ted Bancroft, who as of this moment is the third guard on the depth chart. It was the classic "next man up" syndrome in a season where depth, particularly to the Friars' backcourt, has received a serious jolt.
Not having the anticipated pieces has been readily apparent at times for Cooley & Co. Providence was the definition of a yo-yo in the Virgin Islands, playing well for stretches followed by segments where nothing seemed to go right. That inconsistent pattern held true against Fairfield as the Friars went from on the verge of running the Stags out of the building – PC went up by 19 points at 5:27 of the opening half – to allowing the visitors to creep back into the picture.
The Stags cut it to 46-40 early in the second half and were within nine points at 64-55 with five minutes remaining. In each instance, the Friars were able to turn on the afterburners and pull away.
"The guys who are playing, they're tough guys," said PC's LaDontae Henton, who filled up the box score with 12 points, seven rebounds and five steals.
Cotton ended up logging 38 minutes while Henton played 39. Even though he picked up his fourth foul with a ton of time remaining, Fortune appeared in 38 more.
Such heavy workloads probably wouldn't exist if Cooley had a full complement of Friars at his service. The question is, when will that day happen?

Readership: For teachers of introductory courses in statistics.
Andrew Gelman, Professor, Department of Statistics, Columbia University, and Deborah Nolan, Professor, Department of Statistics, University of California
"... very readable ... a book to dip into ... a useful companion to have to hand with fresh and relevant ideas." - Mathematics in School
"This book contains more material than could possibly be used in a single course; we suggest you read through it all and then try out some of the ideas. Pick and choose what works for you." - Zentralblatt Math
"It is certainly a book that I will come back to time and again!" - Teaching Statistics
"This is clearly a book that users will want to dip in and out of, and the structure supports this approach with a good subject index as well as an
author index." - Teaching Statistics
"... a collection of ideas for enriching the teaching of statistics presented in a systematic way with careful suggestions for their use." - Teaching Statistics
"Provides a wealth of demonstrations, examples and projects that involve active student participation." - Mathematical Didactics (MATHDI)
"Gelaman's and Nolan's class demonstrations sound so fun and instructive they make me want to build a stats course around them. Why are students in larger than average families? Why are there fewer baby girls in China? After students secretly put sequences of real and made-up random
coin tosses on the board, how can Gelman and Nolan tell which are which? How could students who have worked together on such problems not be fascinated with the explanations?" - Frank Morgan, Williams College
"Gelman and Nolan have constructed a tour de force of clever demonstrations that will permit all who use them to communicate more effectively many of the deepest ideas of statisitical thinking." - Howard Wainer, Distinguished Research Scientist, National Board of Medical Examiners, Philadelphia
"Teaching Statistics: A Bag of Tricks by Gelman and Nolan could have also been appropriately named "Everything You Always Wanted to Know
About Teaching Statistics, but were Afraid to Ask"! Much more than just a collection of engaging activities and examples, it also includes informative discussions of pedagogy and practical tips on everything from course organization to effectively integrating activities into the classroom to maintaining interest and motivating students. Both new and experienced teachers of statistics will find this book to be a valuable resource." - Roxy Peck, Department of Statistics, Cal Poly, California

'The Chicago Code' Series Premiere Recap
If you did an inventory of the top creative minds that ushered in The Golden Age of Television, Shawn Ryan would have to be on the top of that list. Ryan's gritty, provocative cop show 'The Shield,' featuring Michael Chiklis as one of the TV's greatest all-time antiheroes, was the first basic cable drama to showcase the kind of cinematic urgency we'd come to expect from movies and HBO. Now we expect nothing less from FX, the network that brought 'The Shield' into our living rooms.
One can expect less, however, from FOX, the network airing Ryan's return to the cop drama, 'The Chicago Code'. It's not that FOX hasn't shown its fair share of solid dramas, it's just that a show on a broadcast network can't explore as many nuanced, dark themes, or get away with as much, as a cable network like FX.
In its first hour, 'Code' wasn't as revelatory as 'The Shield.' But it's definitely ambitious, keen on addressing corruption on top of the standard chases, gun play, detective work and bursts of tough guy bravado. And, as a Chicago guy, it's great to watch a show about Chicago that was actually shot there.
Review: 'The Chicago Code' Shows Potential on an Exciting Ride Through the Windy City
Though much of it set in the world of the Chicago Police Department, it would be unfair to call this worthy drama from Shawn Ryan ('The Shield,' 'Terriers,' 'The Unit') a police procedural. A significant chunk of the story is devoted to police superintendent Teresa Colvin's efforts to combat corruption in the Windy City. To assist her in that lonely cause, the steely Colvin (Jennifer Beals) recruits her old partner, Jarek Wysocki (Jason Clarke), a tenacious detective well known for his headstrong ways.
Together, they take on a powerful alderman, Ronin Gibbons (Delroy Lindo), a very well-connected shotcaller in the world of Chicago politics. This trio of increasingly interesting characters form the core of the show, and, in the three episodes Fox sent for review, any time Beals, Clarke or Lindo occupied the screen, 'Code' crackled with intriguing potential.
'The Chicago Code' Cast Previews the Show's Big Drama (VIDEO)
The amazing cast includes Jennifer Beals playing the first female superintendent of Chicago, determined to change the city; Jason Clarke as her former partner turned go-to guy for help on the ground; and Delroy Lindo as one of the city's most powerful men, who isn't exactly an angel.
Add to that a sharp rookie, played by Matt Lauria, and Billy Lush as a cop so deep undercover he doesn't really know what's right anymore and you've got a beautifully layered drama that's the best new show of the year.
I caught up with the cast to hear more about the show, the shades of gray in all their characters and their newfound respect for the Chicago police department.
Sneak Peek: NBC's Mercy
We have about 27 new medical shows to keep track of this fall. Here's the other NBC hospital show coming this fall, Mercy. It stars Michelle Trachtenberg, James LeGros, Delroy Lindo, Jaime Lee Kirchner, and Taylor Schilling and follows each story through the eyes of the nurses. Maybe they'll like this show more than they like Nurse Jackie.
Kidnapped returns to NBC
Well, here's a quirky little plot twist no one expected.
Even though NBC pulled the show - twice - the network started showing the eight unaired episodes of Kidnapped last night (or early this morning) at midnight! They'll run the show at this time each week this summer. Not sure if it can be seen at that time in all areas. I know it wasn't on at that time where I live, so it's probably on at different times overnight.
This is an interesting move by NBC, considering the episodes have been available on the web site and the complete series was released on DVD. Maybe the other networks can follow NBC's lead and show short-lived/canceled shows overnight.
DVD Review: Kidnapped: The Complete Series
Despite the show's quality, it never had a chance; saddled with a bad time slot (Wednesdays at 10), NBC showed four episodes, then told the producers to stop at 13, shuttled the show to the Saturday death slot, then canned it after one Saturday airing.
It's official: Kidnapped to be released April 24
We've had a couple of stories here about the possibility of a Kidnapped DVD set in '07, and today Sony made it official. The Complete Series will be released on April 24. That's 13 episodes. No word on extras yet.
I actually liked this show, from the handful of episodes that NBC showed before dumping it on Saturday nights and then pulling it from the schedule altogether. But you know what? When the show went online only, I didn't even watch the remaining episodes. I'm not sure why. I was interested in the plot and what the outcome was going to be, but I just never took the time to watch the rest. Of course, I'm not sure I want to buy the show on DVD either, so maybe I'll watch them online after all (if they're still available, that is).
Kidnapped DVD set coming in 2007?
Kidnapped fans were upset when the show was canceled, but given 13 episodes to wrap up the plot. Then they were more upset when the show was taken off of Wednesday night and put on Saturday nights. And then they were absolutely ticked off when NBC pulled the show from Saturday nights because of low ratings (gee, low ratings on a Saturday night...what did they expect?). But now, fans can at least rejoice in the news that there might be a box DVD set of the show coming in 2007.
Update: Kidnapped headed to web
Anna told you earlier today about NBC pulling Kidnapped off of the Saturday schedule (wow, how bad do ratings have to be to have that happen twice in a matter of weeks?), and now comes word over at TV Guide that the remaining eight episodes of the drama will be shown on NBC's web site.
The show is being pulled and will not be seen again on the small screen after sweeps (we're at the start of the all-important sweeps period right now), but will be shown on your even smaller screen, your computer.
The show is filming its 13th episode even as you read this. Oh well. At least fans won't have to wait and see what's going to happen to the show and will be able to see the kidnapping plot reach its conclusion and not left hanging.
NBC pulls Kidnapped from Saturday slot
Last Saturday, Kidnapped got only about 3.7 million viewers, making it the lowest-watched program on television that night. Only five episodes of Kidnapped have aired so far and there's no word from NBC on whether it will even play out the rest of the 'season'. Starting this Saturday, reruns of Law & Order: Criminal Intent will play instead of Kidnapped.
NBC chief isn't leaving, but did he reveal something about Kidnapped?
Interesting piece in The Boston Globe (via Reuters) about NBC Universal CEO Bob Wright. He says that a recent story in the New York Post (owned by News Corp, which also owns FOX) saying that he was going to be replaced are completely untrue. The sources in the story were unnamed, and Wright says that the reason they are unnamed is because the paper made them up.
Now, that's kind of an interesting, in an insider baseball, industry sort of way. But Wright says something in the piece that got my attention. Wright told reporters that he's pleased with the start of the new season, especially the ratings for Heroes. He then adds:
"Kidnapped is clearly a bit of a disappointment. I think we probably just had a show that was maybe too difficult a concept."
Now, that's an intriguing statement. If the CEO of NBC is saying that a new show is too difficult for viewers (and talking about it as if it was in the past tense), I would say that's not good news for Kidnapped fans.
And I'm one of them. Though I'm not sure that the concept of the show is too difficult. I would say it's just because people are overdosing right now on shows that have one continuing story for the whole season, and also don't want to invest time in them if they fear they might be canceled.
Kidnapped: Pilot (series premiere)
(S01E01) If there's one thing you need to know about Kidnapped, it's this: nothing is as it seems. All we know after the opening episode is over is that Leopold Cain (Will Denton), the erudite son of wealthy Manhattan couple Conrad and Ellie Cain (Timothy Hutton and Dana Delany), has been kidnapped. We don't know why, and we don't know by whom. We also know that Cain has hired private investigator Knapp (Jeremy Sisto), who has a shady past but knows how to get people back to their families. His partner in investigation is Turner (Carmen Ejogo). We also know that Special Agent Lattimer King (Delroy Lindo) has been dragged into the case via his associtation with a bodyguard named Virgil (Mykelti Williamson). He and Knapp know each other, and they both know that they'll have to work together, whether they like it or not.
Everything else? It's completely up in the air. But that's what makes this show interesting.
Joel's morning on the set of Kidnapped
Why not? Set visits have always intrigued me: will the sets look as good up close as they do on TV? How do they pull off some of the visual aspects of a show? Is the craft services table as good as they say? I was able to answer all those questions on August 30, when a group of reporters and I visited the Kidnapped set. We also got to have roundtable interviews with stars Dana Delany, Timothy Hutton, Delroy Lindo, and Jeremy Sisto, which was an experience, but not for the reasons you think. So, after the jump, here's the visual story of my morning on the Kidnapped set, complete with the requisite wise-ass remarks:
NYTVF: Photos of the Kidnapped premiere and party
Folks, I never got into this job to be a red carpet/party reporter. I'm not good in noisy crowds of people I don't know, and I'm especially not good at fighting other people to be heard in a group. But when I found myself on the press side of the red carpet for the premiere of NBC's Kidnapped last night, I tried to do my best.
The red carpet consists of whatever stars are coming to the premiere slowly walking down a procession of press people: first they pose for photographers, then they talk to television and other video outlets, then they answer questions from lowly print outlets like us. I decided to hang out at the end of the line and catch what I could, since I'd also be going to the screening and the afterparty (which also doubled as the NYTVF launch party). And since I was on the Kidnapped set a few weeks ago (that post is in the works), there wasn't much more to ask the principals that I hadn't already. But it was still an interesting evening. After the jump, a few pictures of my night.

Sana Hadanomy Collagen Moisturizing Lotion Mist Lemon Review
I love the Hadanomy Collection.
Sana, they are responsible for some truly gimmicky products but they did Hadanomy right!
When I noticed they had a new Sana Hadanomy Collagen Moisturizing Lotion Mist in Lemon I instantly needed to try it….
Sana Hadanomy Collagen Moisturizing Lotion Mist Lemon is a limited edition run of Sana's popular Hadanomy Mist with a lemon-y scent and sweet lemon-y packaging.
The Hadanomy facial mist supposedly sports a 1000 MG of Collagen for a lasting, hydrating effect. This is a thicker mist than many you've tried in the past I'm sure. It has a hydrating feel that leaves skin super moisturized after use. It kinda feels like your spraying a gel moisturizer on your face. This mist is definitely not a finer mist so I suggest spritzing your face and pressing the palms of your hands against your cheeks to pat it gently into place.
Without a doubt the formula has not changed at all here and it remains as great as the regular mist. They decided to add real lemon into the mix here. This gives the product a freshly squeeze lemon scent that kinda sorta takes on a dish detergent scent in my opinion. The Hadanomy line has a beautiful scent already…it's lemon mixed with a fresher note that's really quite nice…this isn't as pleasant.
I was kinda in love with the package which was one reason I purchased this. It comes in a heart shaped bottle which I was hoping to refill after with the regular mist after I used this up.
The heart shaped bottle actually doesn't stand up on its own. They bottle doesn't have a flat bottom so you can't prop the bottle up it has to lay on its side. I find this incredibly irritating plus a waste of space on my vanity.
Overall, you probably don't need to haul this if you already own the regular mister….the cute packaging and added lemon scent was what sold me here but the poor design that doesn't stand up and the detergent-like scent isn't worth bothering your time with as the original mist has a nicer scent and packaging in the end…!
The Hadanomy line smells straight up like roses to me!
9/30/11 1:50 Fadburger:
If this had the normal scent I would totally want it, I could sniff this stuff all day! I wanted one for my purse, so I really don't care if it stands up…but I guess I'll just get another of the original mist to keep at work instead, the price is probably not much higher anyway.
Ps. I just got the mist and the cream this week and I am loving it! They feel great and smell great :). I'm hooked!~
9/30/11 13:48 Eve:
Aw, it's too cute! Too bad I don't need it. Or maybe that's good…please review more Eastern cosmetics!
11/27/11 23:02 Princess MOMOY:
wah… firstly im very shocked
in lemon and yellow packaging?
where do u get it
is it limited edition
really want it badly

On camera: Teacher 'steals from students'
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 02/18/2013 @ 2:55 pm In Education,WND TV | No Comments
(WUSA9) — LINDEN, CA (KXTV)- A teacher in Linden with nearly 30 years experience has been put on administrative leave after she was recorded with a phone camera, allegedly stealing things from student backpacks.
In the video, the teacher is seen pulling something from one backpack, before she moves to the next, where it's not clear if anything was taken.
"There is an employee being investigated, based on the video," Linden Superintendent Michael Gonzales said.
Gonzales wouldn't confirm the employee is a teacher, or offer that person's name. San Joaquin County Sheriff's spokesperson Les Garcia would confirm a teacher is being investigated for an alleged theft.

The unbeaten record of three-year-old Sessions came to an end at Rosehill on Saturday as consistent filly Catkins turned the tables on the drifting favourite.
Sessions opened at $1.40 before starting at $1.85 in the Hollywood Fashion Secrets Handicap (1300m) and after over-racing in front he was a spent force half-way down the straight as Catkins rushed past him.
Catkins ($4) went on to score by a convincing three lengths over Furious Jet ($7) with Sessions weakening to third, another head away.
"The five-horse fields are not doing any favours for him," Sessions' jockey Peter Robl said.
"He'll be better in fields of 12 or 16 when there's genuine speed and he can get some cover and turn himself into a racehorse.
"He just won't relax in front."
Stable foreman Brad Widdup told stewards trainer Peter Snowden had advised Sessions would drop in distance.
"I've spoken to Peter and the plan now is to drop back to 1000 metres to teach him to race," Widdup said.
"He's a much better horse than that."
Sessions had won his only two starts including a first-up win over Catkins two weeks earlier when he tired late as Catkins got within a half length.
Catkins was nominated for a Listed race at Sandown on Saturday but premier trainer Chris Waller elected to stay at home and said it proved the right move.
"She's a consistent filly and she's beaten the mares twice this preparation and she was able to beat the colts today with a reasonable weight," Waller said.
Waller said Catkins was likely to go for a spell with late Sydney autumn carnival races such as the PJ Bell Stakes on the radar.
"I think she'll also be a nice filly for the Queensland winter carnival," Waller said.

In all seriousness though can't we all just agree to disagree it saves on the friction and negative energy towards each other. As I said before we can all get along just fine if we admit we are all wrong.

Now, a few months ago, specifically right before I upgraded to 4.0.4, Android File Transfer worked without a problem.

Funny or Die Specials to Air on HBO
Funny or Die, the site founded two years ago by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, is deep into filming for 12 half-hour episodes for HBO,
According to the New York Post, the site is reversing its stance on syndicating its content beyond the standalone Web site. "It will definitely get more viewership of our videos and, to us, that's the important thing -- we want the work that's created to be seen by as many people as possible," Dick Glover, the site's CEO, told the Post. A Funny or Die YouTube channel will launch sometime this month.
A bit more from Pearl the Landlord - VIDEO
Okay, whether you found Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's video The Landlord extremely funny, or you were offended by the fact that it featured McKay's daughter, Pearl, cursing (and yes, she really was cursing), I think there's one thing we can all agree on: Pearl is really, really, adorable.
Check out the outtakes from the video below. You would have to be a vampire with a heart carved out of baby nightmares to not total fall in love with the little tyke. I think in some ways the outtakes are almost funnier than the finished product, since it shows Pearl behaving like an actual kid (i.e., she doesn't really care what all those crazy adults around her are doing, she just wants to bang some rocks together).
Anyway, check it out after the jump and have a larf.
Pearl McKay: a mystery is solved
Ever since I linked to the short video by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell on their new comedy competition site, FunnyOrDie.com, there's been a lot of speculation among myself and my readers as to just how it was they got the little girl in the video, McKay's daughter Pearl, to curse like a drunken sailor.
I assumed she wasn't, that it was probably just a bit of mind trickery using subtitles to make it appear she's saying something she isn't. However, McKay told People that wasn't the case:
Will Ferrell's production company launches video site
I recently linked to a comedic short featuring Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (Anchorman, Talladega Nights). The short comes from FunnyorDie.com, a new comedy video site from Ferrell and McKay's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions.
The short, titled "The Landlord," has received over two million hits, and other vids from established comedians and actors will also begin to pop up on the site. However, most of the videos will be uploaded YouTube-fashion by regular folks like you and me. The main difference between this site and YouTube is that only those videos deemed worthy by other users will survive, and the ones that aren't so funny will be banished to a section of the site known as "the Crypt."
Will Ferrell's landlord problems - VIDEO
This is the funniest thing you will see today. Seriously, check it out.
Why are you still here? Go watch this video. Right now*.
Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, both formerly of Saturday Night Live (Ferrell as a performer, and McKay as a writer) have made two of the funniest movie comedies in the last few years, Anchorman and Talladega Nights, and this short featuring McKay and Ferrell as two roommates and their cranky landlord had me laughing so hard that milk spilled from my nose -- not milk I was drinking, but milk I haven't even drank yet. That's how incredibly funny it is. The short is only about two minutes long, and I can't tell you much more about it without spoiling it for you, so go watch it.

Dr. Scott B. Baron's Ratings
I was fortunate to have Dr. Baron assigned to me when I was admitted into the hospital with heart issues. Every test I had came back normal - and I had them all several times! He kept searching and finally went in and found my left anterior descending artery was over 90% blocked. He put a stint in and I was good to go!! He took plenty of time with my husband and I in the hospital, explained everything... he has an excellent bedside manner, and a great personality. I met with him one more time in his office and had the same experience. He was very sympathetic to my not having insurance (due to being laid off) and so I've not been able to see him again. He must have done a fantastic job because I've had the stint for two years, have taken no medications and still feeling fantastic!! (I would never suggest having to go without meds to anyone - but I've had no choice.) I do wish that he took the type of insurance I have now, because I truly feel Dr. Baron is the best of the best - all around!! If you can go to him go!!! You won't be sorry!!

The absolute BEST cardiologist. He cares about his patients and takes the time to talk to them as well as listen. He welcomes questions and input from patients as well as their family. Has a very calming manner about him and explains procedures well. He is my mother's cardiologist - we met him when she had a mild heart attack and he was the attending physician who performed the stint procedure on her - one of the things we love about him is he listened when Mom said she wanted to get off the pills, that she didn't feel good on them and told him what she was doing to lower her blood pressure herself. She was able to totally go off the pills --- slowly ---- with much work - diet including exercise --- she's now 87 and still up and running with good checkups.

Dr. Baron is one of the leading Cardiologists in northern Ca. Incredibly smart and takes his time with you during exams. One of the most dedicated doctors I've known. Voted by his peers as one of Sacramento's "Top Doctors". If I ever end up needing a cardiac intervention, Dr. Baron would be the only choice for me. He's really the best.

Medicine isn't Perfect, Obamacare is Even Less Perfect
November 25, 2009
David Gratzer
Pay for the blue pill that works, not the red one that doesnt. Thats the presidents simple prescription for improving American health care, one that relies on government panels and committees to set guidelines for doctors and patients alike.
At least, thats the theory.
The theory met messy reality last week when the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended that women in their 40s shouldnt get mammograms. But the secretary of health and human services -- who, incidentally, oversees this panel -- thinks women probably should. And the American Cancer Society believes that they definitely should; major private insurance companies, for the record, will continue to fund the tests.
Confused yet?
Recommendation from a largely unknown government panel hardly seems like typical material for national headlines. But when it involves breast cancer and the announcement is made in the heat of debate over health reform, people are -- understandably -- concerned.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, as it turns out, is not part of a larger Obama White House rationing conspiracy, as some would have it. Task force members were appointed by President Bush, and they voted on this recommendation before Obamas inauguration.
As for cost considerations, the task force had none: Members are mandated not to weigh dollars and cents when considering the risk and benefits of recommendations.
Thats not to suggest that their conclusion isnt highly controversial. For starters, it seems counterintuitive: Early screening for cancer makes sense.
No wonder, then, that a full 87 percent of Americans believed that routine scanning was "almost always a good idea" in a 2004 poll published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Today, American panels and doctors groups are moving away from the "scan first, ask questions later" philosophy. We arent the only ones having second thoughts.
In Japan, all newborns were screened for neuroblastoma starting in 1984, but the program was scrapped a few years ago when more babies died from unnecessary surgeries than the obscure cancer.
For many, such reversals are deeply unsettling, a reminder that medicine is far from an exact science.
"The history of medicine is a record not only of brilliant success and stunning progress," Theodore Dalrymple, a British physician, wrote in 2002. "It is also a litany of mistaken ideas and discarded treatments, some of which came to appear absurd or downright dangerous after having once been hailed as unprecedented advances."
As a physician myself, I know a thing or two about going by the book and getting it wrong. When I was in residency, the standard treatment for bipolar patients suffering depression was Prozac or its sister drugs. It turned out that Prozac intervention was not only highly problematic, but also bested by placebo.
For those on the left, the answer to the chaos of medicine is to establish government panels. With Obamacare, for instance, White House officials propose a commission to cut hundreds of billions from Medicare by improving the quality of care.
How? By setting up an Independent Medicare Advisory Commission that would guide clinical decisions for doctors and patients alike.
The controversy over breast cancer screening, however, shows the political and practical limitations of this one-size-fits-all approach: Medical organizations have difficulty in setting and agreeing upon clinical guidelines, and patients are apt to resent mandates from bureaucrats.
Leaving health verdicts in the hands of centralized authorities is a sure way to keep making mistakes in a field where re-examination and reversal are an unavoidable reality.

Life out of the classroom
You may see me in class or during office hours. Do you know what I do outside the classroom? There are a lot of wonderful experiences on and off campus!
Being a dietetics student, I really enjoy my college life on campus. I am a returning PAL this semester; I can know more PAL in different majors. We can share our experience in the college. Joining the S DA also provides me the chance to know more my peers studying the same major. At the same time, participating in professor's research is wonderful experience to me. For example this summer, I went to a summer hot camp with kids to provide them more nutrition information. It is really meaning to me. It is really eye-opening working as a research assistant! There is so much to learn. I face different challenges every time, but it strengthens my problem-solving skills!
What about off campus? I volunteer at a hospital once a week. In that way, I can explore more in a clinical setting. I got opportunities going to floors and giving my care to different patients, for example, children's floor, the elderly floor, nursing floors. They are so happy to see me over there and it means a lot to me when I see them being helped. They would share with me their lives, the mothers of the newborns would show me their babies, the children would show me their games, etc. It is very meaningful and rewarding. Also, I am an officer at my college fellowship. We have fun and support each other every week. I am also a vocalist in my church band and choir. We participate in band festivals and special events. Music is a relaxing tool for me in my busy life at Berkeley! Going to the gym is also a way for me to relax. Exercise also boosts your immune system and makes your heart healthy!
There are a lot of activities which are fun and meaningful to do. They also help your resume! Come to talk with us to find our more extra-curricular activities available either on or off campus!
