Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: What Beauty and the Beast rises or falls on is the love story, and here, allowed to slow down to let in intimate moments, the movie catches fire. It's an exhilarating gift.
Rotten: Very little is new, apart from some superfluous backstories and the occasional household object. But everything old feels empty and dull.
Fresh: The sheer dexterity is overwhelming, and only the sternest viewer will be able to resist the onslaught of such thoroughly marketed magic.
Fresh: It's a tale as old as time, but in its latest imagining it still feels fresh.

'Beauty and the Beast' Revels in Joy and Enchantment
Last night, I went to go see one of my all-time favorite animated movies be transformed into live-action. Did it live up to my expectations? Was it as good as the original? The following is my review on the movie…
MOVIE REVIEW: Having just achieved the single best year for any studio in history, Disney looks to continue its remarkable run in 2017. This year Disney starts with one if it's heaviest hitters of all time — Beauty and the Beast.
This "Tale as old as time" is a gorgeous, entertaining story which will make you believe fairy tales actually exist. Disney basically took all the original beats from the kids 1991 animated classic but retold it with all the detail, emotions and realism of a story for adults…and it works.
Emma Watson is the perfect Belle! Her acting is spot on and her singing, while somewhat auto-tuned, worked wonderfully for her character. Dan Stevens's Beast was visually stunning and had a surprising amount of emotional depth. My absolute Favorite NEW song, (which had me in tears by the end) was "Evermore", which Dan Stevens sang the heck out of. This original song by Alan Menken was a complete showstopper!!
Now one of the GOOD changes they made to this film is Kevin Kline's Maurice, who truly is a superstar in this film! Both his performance and his character development are superb. While Luke Evans's Gaston, was a very realistic evil. An EVIL that twists the truth and deceptively sneaks up on you throughout the film. Unfortunately, the more evil Gaston became in this film, the more Josh Gad's Le Fou (Gaston's side kick) just didn't know what to do with himself and ultimately fell flat.
Which brings me to the one thing I really dislike about the film, Le Fou. I would say without a doubt, the underlining reason for so much animosity and bad reviews coming out, is because of the changes they made to Le Fou. Without giving any spoilers away, they changed Le Fou from being the "stupid", side-kick, bad guy (he originally was in the animated movie)…to now being a scene-stealing, misunderstood good-guy. And unfortunately it just doesn't work. Also regarding the "CONTROVERSY" surrounding this movie, my friend Meghan said it best: "Beauty and the Beast had me smiling and crying from beginning to end. Don't boycott this for reasons that you've heard from the media because they're simply…exaggerating the truth!"
In summary, Beauty and the Beast transports us back to the beauty of old-time Hollywood. Where lavish sets, big name actors and HUGE musical numbers aren't frowned upon but cherished. And while it may fall flat and not quite reach the magical heights I'd hoped for, it gets close… VERY close.
What a bad movie, disappointed
This movie is not for little kids and it totally S%^&(d. I like the cartoon version 100% better.
This remake was horrible!!! The acting was as amateur as Twilight. There were several moments where I just had to laugh because the acting was so cringeworthy! And the singing was atrocious! Where was Simon Cowell when you needed him?
On paper the cast looked and sounded like it would be so perfect and then to finally see it play out on screen was a major let down.
Also I was greatly disturbed by the misuse of CGI in this movie. I mean, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, whose studios provide(d) a far less budget managed to make their material look way more realistic than this mess. Disney had no excuse.
They tried so hard to make this movie like the cartoon that they sabotaged themselves.
Just a complete waste of my money and time.
But whatever there will be fans out there who will turn a blind eye and like it just because.

Research Interests
My primary research interests are in two related areas: (1) emotional development, and (2) the study of posttraumatic stress within a developmental psychopathology framework. My research on emotional development has largely focused on emotional expression among children and adolescents. I am particularly interested in identifying ways in which child and adolescent emotional expression is influenced by contextual factors (e.g., peer relationships, cultural differences, exposure to stressful life events). My work has also focused on identifying associations between emotional expression and psychosocial functioning.
In terms of my research on posttraumatic stress, I have a special interest in understanding the challenges and barriers children and their families face in obtaining care for traumatic stress symptoms. My research has also focused on identifying how contextual factors within the post-trauma environment (e.g., trauma reminders, access to resources, on-going adversities) can mediate posttraumatic stress symptoms.
Related to these two bodies of research, I also have an interest in methodological, statistical, and ethical challenges associated with the measurement of emotional expression and traumatic stress reactions.

Melksham's weekly market could be moved in a bid to attract more shoppers.
Wiltshire Council is planning to move the Tuesday market to the historic Market Place, outside the town hall, after admitting that the current location - Church Street car park - was not proving visible enough.
Tom Ince, leader of the council's amenity partnership team, which oversees the market, said: "We are looking to move it back into the Market Place as a trial, hopefully from April 1, unless we get any objections from local residents or businesses.
"We struggled a bit with footfall where it is now, and we are hoping it will pick up in the new location.
"A number of the traders and the public have said it would be nice to have it in the Market Place, where it will be more visible.
"We have received no objections so far. Our deadline is March 14 and I don't anticipate any objections, everyone has been very supportive to the idea."
The market returned to the town after a four-year absence in September, and despite initial success has been failing to attract shoppers at the car park behind the Avon Place shopping precinct.
If the move is approved the Market Place will be closed to traffic once a week, although drivers will still be able to get into Melksham House.
Mr Ince said: "We're going to put cones up so people can still get to Melksham House.
"The taxi rank will also remain, there just won't be any parking there. It won't affect the disabled parking either, that's still going to be there."

Interview excerpt
"NYAS: You have called the Web "the ultimate global collaborative medium" and science "the ultimate global collaborative pursuit." Hannay: Yes, that's one of the reasons why I decided to work on the Web in science. Tim Berners-Lee originally considered the Web a scientific communication means. But, ironically it hasn't been scientists and the research community pushing the Web to its limits. It's my job to try and make the Web more useful as a scientific communication medium.
The volume of data is important and has profound implications, but an even more profound change will be if it's all linked together. It's going to be messy. We're going to be using tags and microformats and ontologies and links and all sorts of strategies. But one way or another we're integrating this data more and more. It's not the volume of data, it's the interconnectedness of it that's critical in my mind." (http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/science_2.0_pioneers/)

Better ways to care for the dying
Help us expand our reach! Please share this article
Surely I shall never forget my first encounter with Mother Teresa of Calcutta. It was in November of 1970 and I was teaching at Catholic University. We had received notice that the university was awarding an honorary doctorate to a missionary nun in the Caldwell Auditorium. Realizing that few people would bother to attend, I decided "to make the sacrifice" in solidarity with a fellow religious. Only a handful of people showed up. Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle presided and Eileen Egan, an early follower of Dorothy Day who was at Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was charged with introducing the nun to the assembly. None of us had ever heard of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
Eileen Egan described her first meeting with Mother Teresa in the streets of the slums of Calcutta. She described seeing a wheelbarrow containing the filthy body of a dying man covered with open sores filled with maggots. She said that it seemed that the wheelbarrow moved on its own. Then she spied the diminutive nun pushing it. She learned that Mother and her sisters, for twenty years had been gathering the dying people abandoned in the streets, carrying them to an old former Hindu temple and taking care of them so that they could die surrounded by love.

DADE CITY — Since a private company first sought to build a landfill near Dade City two years ago, well-heeled ranchers have bankrolled the charge against it.
Now one of them says that taxpayers should pick up at least some of the tab.
"We've spent a lot of money, and we think it's appropriate for public agencies to step forward," said Bill Blanchard, whose family owns 1,900 acres near the proposed landfill, much of it under conservation protection but some home to a tree and plant business.
Angelo's Aggregate Materials sought permits from the state to build a household garbage landfill on 90 acres, with the possibility of expansion to 1,000 acres. The request drew fierce opposition from neighbors and nearby city governments. Opponents feared the landfill, which would be a mile from the Green Swamp, would contaminate drinking water, lower property values and be prone to sinkholes.
Blanchard and fellow rancher Robert Thomas last year spent tens of thousands of dollars on lobbying and experts to fight the project, and made a similar investment in campaign contributions to local and state officials. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection in February denied the permits, citing the sinkhole risks.
Angelo's has appealed the permit denial to the Florida Department of Administrative Hearings. A judge is scheduled to hear the case this fall.
In March, Blanchard's attorney called County Attorney Jeffrey Steinsnyder and asked for help with the appeal.
"He expressed a desire they wished the county to intervene and hire special counsel for solid waste to help out with the litigation," Steinsnyder said.
Steinsnyder advised commissioners against it for a couple of reasons. First, he estimated the county's cost of involvement at between $60,000 and $70,000.
Plus, if Angelo's is successful in overturning the DEP decision, the Pasco County Commission could end up deciding whether to grant a land use change for the company to build.
Bad timing for money
So far the county has taken no position on the landfill except to say that it must seek a comprehensive plan amendment, a tougher standard than what a conditional use permit would require.
Most of the five county commissioners, who have already had to drastically cut library hours and are struggling to plug a nearly $30 million budget hole for the upcoming fiscal year, said legal issues aside, it would be foolish to commit public money to the cause now.
"The dog's got to keep sleeping on the porch," said Commissioner Ann Hildebrand. "With budget constraints, and they're increasing by the minute, it wouldn't make sense for us … to fight this battle on a state level."
Commissioner Michael Cox agreed.
"It's not a good time to be asking the county for money," he said.
Commissioner Ted Schrader acknowledged that opponents have spent "a considerable amount of money" fighting the permit, but said it's in the county's best interest to stay above the fray for now.
Chairman Jack Mariano and Commissioner Pat Mulieri could not be reached for comment.
Blanchard, who was in Colorado on a family vacation, said he knows governments are hurting, though he didn't know "the numbers or anything."
He said the long term economic damage a landfill would cause would far outweigh "the small sum they would spend at this time."
He also does not think the county should bear all the public expense. The Southwest Florida Water Management District and Tampa Bay Water should take a stand, too.
So far, the two agencies have not filed as parties in the appeal.
"Their job is to protect the water for people to drink," he said. "We want to stop spending money and have agencies that were formed to protect water resources start spending."

San Francisco, CA, United States, 2013/09/27 - New shape of the glass distributes light more evenly so that the microorganisms grow faster - SCHOTTsolar.com.
The international technology group SCHOTT is conducting intensive research on the further development of photobioreactors (PBRs), and has now introduced a new approach for the industrial growing of algae. For this purpose, the manufacturer has developed an oval glass tube that is designed to help microorganisms grow more quickly. SCHOTT specialist Dr. Nikolaos Katsikis explains the idea,We believe that the oval shape will distribute the light that algae need to carry out photosynthesis and grow much more evenly in PBRs. This will increase the yield. Yet another benefit is that the oval shaped tubes from SCHOTT have a perfectly round shape at the ends so that they can be joined together using standard connectors to keep the cost low. SCHOTT is the only manufacturer capable of providing oval tubes with round ends for use in cultivating algae. SCHOTT will present this product innovation for the first time ever at the 7th annual Algae Biomass Summit in Orlando, Florida, (Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, 2013).
We have already supplied initial tubes and are keeping a close eye on the test installations, Katsikis. We will then continue to improve our products based on the results. According to Katsikis, the question of how the shape of the oval tube or the installation angle affects the growth of microorganisms is of particular interest. We are the first manufacturer to offer this type of solution. Now, our goal is to set standards. We are therefore extremely interested in working together with other companies, Katsikis added.
Background information: Algae third generation biomass
There are thousands of different types of algae all over the world today, of which approximately 100 to 200 can be industrially cultivated. The uses of algae and their metabolites are extremely diverse. They can serve not only as food, biofuels and fertilizers, but also as the ingredients of medications and cosmetics. Cultivating these microorganisms is described as third generation biomass because the process doesnt take up farmland or compete with food production.
There are essentially two different ways to cultivate algae industrially, said Katsikis. Open ponds seem to be rather inexpensive to build, but they have a number of drawbacks. The water in ponds evaporates and gets dirty over time. Foreign organisms can invade the ponds and interfere with algae production. Factors like these have a negative impact on yield. On the other hand, he says that bioreactors that consist of rows of glass tubes of between 5 and 30 centimeters in diameter that are connected together offer significant advantages over open ponds. The ideal conditions for algae exist in closed systems due to the fact that the process and all of the factors can be set more precisely, said Katsikis. This increases productivity and the quality of the harvest is also much higher.
Process control offers many advantages
Due to the fact that the process can be controlled so well, the harvest results are highly reproducible. Algae can also be moved to another location quite easily when a reactor needs to be cleaned, for example. This offers the operator greater flexibility with respect to production.
These advantages of process control and flexibility also play an important role in the latest trends in algae production. For example, carbon can be added as food for the algae inside a PBR and can be monitored more easily than in an open pond. Another trend calls for the light source to be optimized even to the point of distributing light via fiber optics within the algae culture. PBRs are better suited for this as well. Last, but not least, usually genetically modified algae can only be cultivated in closed systems.
When asked why the tubes are made of glass and not a synthetic material, Katsikis explains,Tubes made of borosilicate glass are UV resistant and have been in use for well over 20 years without having to be replaced. These glass types can be up to 10 meters in length and, unlike plastics, do not require any additional support, which in turn lowers the cost. Glass is also scratch resistant and stands up to cleaning agents and utensils.
A broad portfolio from SCHOTT
SCHOTT offers algae farm operators a complete portfolio for PBRs. The portfolios include tubes with a variety of different wall thicknesses and interior diameters. The lengths vary from 1.4 to 10 meters. They also include U-shaped end pieces and connectors that can be modified to meet individual customer needs. The end pieces can also be used to connect glass and synthetic tubes. In addition, we have significantly expanded the possibilities for our customers by launching these new oval tubes, concluded Katsikis.

Although you can automatically generate sequences with the serial pseudo -type, they are separate objects. Not only can you create them separately from a table, you can have many columns using nextval('my_sequence') as their default. I suppose you could argue that a sequence only used by one table could inherit that table's permissions by default, but I can see problems when people reorder GRANT statements.

Today Starbucks, KEXP and Seattle Theatre Group (STG) launch the Little Big Show, a new quarterly benefit concert series that helps Pacific Northwest citizens make a difference in the community as music fans. The face value of tickets (excluding possible fees and/or service charges) will be donated to local non-profit organizations in support of arts-based programming. The inaugural Little Big Show concert is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 16, at 8:00 p.m. at the Neptune Theatre. The total face value of ticket sales will benefit Arts Corps (artscorps.org), an arts education organization for disenfranchised youth. This February, the Little Big Show series will be kicked off by hometown favorites Pickwick, with electro-soul duo Fly Moon Royalty as special guests. "Starbucks is committed to helping communities thrive, and by providing direct access to arts programs we're helping build a stronger, more vibrant Seattle culture," said Rodney Hines, director of Community Investments, Starbucks. "We're honored to team up with stalwarts KEXP and STG to host Little Big Show, to inspire our neighbors to get involved and create positive change in our neighborhoods, while celebrating Seattle's musical heritage." "Last year, 12 percent of middle and high school students in Seattle reported that Arts Corps programs were their first-ever arts classes," said Andrea Fullerton, Development Director, Arts Corps. "Little Big Show proceeds will help sponsor at least two after-school classes for an entire year, or give approximately 120 youth the opportunity to take an arts class.

Keeping your First Gun
Just wondering how many people have kept their first firearm? My Ruger P90 was the very first firearm I bought and although I don't shoot it much I was debating on whether to trade it in or keep it. Any thoughts?
There is a little, single-shot, bolt-action .22 rifle in the back of my safe that i hardly ever shoot. I got it for Christmas when i was six. If my nephew's kid needs a rifle in a few years, i may pass it on to her.
I have a Remington Model 700 30-06, that gun will not be going anywhere anytime soon. :D
My first gun was my Ruger 10/22, its gone through hell and back. Its still my go to gun for snakes, aggressive stray cats, and plinking
When I was 10 y.o. my Dad gave me his old Remington 512 Sportmaster .22 rifle for my first real firearm. I still have it today and it still shoots great. I'll never sell it or give away, it'll be part of my estate to the kids.
ETA: I scoped it a couple of years back. Those old irons seemed fuzzy for some reason.
I had mine up till a few years ago. It was a no name single shot 20ga. I left it at my brothers place (who is a an avid hunter) and best we can tell one of his buddies took it. It really pissed me off as my dad bought it for me on my 11th birthday, I would loved to have passed it on to my son. He gave me a Marlin .22 to "make up for it", but it really does not. I know he feels bad, but I am still pissed. So I went out and bought a Single Ten that I plan to pass to my son.
Same story for me. My first was a glenfield model 60. Came up missing. Can't have that one back but I've since bought several just like the one I had. Dime a dozen and will never have value but when I give them to my son ,who is 9 now, when one goes missing he will still have a few more to soften the blow. I say keep it. You can only have one first gun.
My first gun is only about 2 years old but I will NEVER sell it. Nor will I sell my second gun, either.
I bought my first gun just a few years ago. I needed the money for a different gun so I sold it. But, it was a GLOCK, so...
'nuff said.
My first gun was a Smith & Wesson 411. It shot like crap. Traded it in on my SA XDm.

I have been told that the hernias which resulted from Liposuction are correctable through surgery, but can anything be done to correct the original Liposuction as well? Can the hernias be corrected by a plastic surgeon or do I need to have two separate surgeons?
Correcting Results and Hernia After Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 7
You're lucky you're alive!
Hernias are usually not caused by liposuction. Usually physicians that are not trained as general surgeons prior to their plastic surgery training either don't diagnose OR ignore the presence of hernias before performing liposuction. I have even heard one non-plastic surgeon say that they can do liposuction AROUND the hernia. This is extremely dangerous because the tube used for liposuction can pass through a hernia and puncture organs INSIDE your abdomen.
If the hernias ARE caused by the liposuction then you're still lucky to be alive (or at least don't have a colostomy bag) because this means that the doctor actually punctured the abdominal wall to create the hernias.
Either way you are fortunate that you did not have very serious injuries.
Correcting Liposuction results and hernia
Dear Teejay,
Truly sorry to hear about your ordeal.
I read your other post and have an IDEA of what may have happened. Having not been there i cannot be sure but having trained first as a general surgeon and then as a Plastic surgeon I can guess.
Although it CAN happen, in reality it is VERY uncommon for a board certified Plastic surgeon performing liposuction to penetrate the abdominal wall muscles and stab underlying structures (such as intestine, liver, spleen etc). This is more likely to happen when you have either a pre-existing hernia or a separation between the six pack muscles through which a loop of intestine can protrude ABOVE / outside the level of the muscles where it could be skewered by the liposuction tube. The result is an unrecognized hole in one or several intestine which results in peritonitis - inflammation of the abdominal wall lining (several belly pain, fevers, hardness). As you described it :"within 24hrs I had to 911 myself to the hospital " .
Since you did not get a colostomy, I assume the puncture was in the small intestine and that the intestine was repaired without having to create a colostomy for a while. The surgeon MUST have closed the midline muscles at the time. But - it sounds like 3 months later you developed 2 ventral hernias after the bowel repair procedure (" in February I noticed bumps and found out my intestines were protruding..resulting in two potential hernias surfacing."). This is NOT uncommon when surgeons are forced to close a contaminated belly especially in large people who cough or have COPD (former smokers).
UNLESS you have a medical condition you have not discussed, all things being equal, there is NO reason why these hernias cannot be fixed NOW and do not need to "wait until the legal battles settle" unless you want to wait. The vast majority of such hernias repairs are done by general surgeons who may be able to do it with an endoscope without cutting you again through the old scar. such an operation has a much quicker recovery and is the way my general surgery colleagues prefer.
Teejay, I know you are bitter and rightfully so. But, the vast majority of Plastic surgeons are ethical individuals who try to do the best they can for their patients. Unfortunately, complications DO occur. This makes it important to choose the surgeon who you trust the most to do his/her out most for you. More than that, no one should be expected to deliver.
Sorry about your ordeal.
Liposuction does not cause hernias.
I'm not sure how you ended up with a hernia after liposuction. If the surgeon caused this by violating the fascia, you might want to find a different surgeon to fix it.
You might also like...
Hernias after liposuction?
Hernias do not occur caused by liposuction. I have never seen such a case. That which is likely however is that the hernias were not recognized by your surgeon before liposuction and became more apparent after the fatty layer was thinned over them. Another possibility is that you just have lax abdominal wall muscle and your current doctor is simply explaining that to you as a hernia. Either way you need a proper evaluation by a real board certified plastic surgeon to sort this mess out.
Best Regards,
John Di Saia MD
Hernias and liposuction
Developing a hernia from liposuction is extremely unusual unless you had trauma from the liposuction cannulas itself.
A hernia should never occur after a liposuction
Liposuction is a popular and effective way to contour the body. When we perform this procedure, we create a small incision in the skin but we never make an incision in the fascia which is the covering of the muscle. Hernias are the result of incision or weakening in the muscle or fascia.
Your best bet is to be examined by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience in the body contouring and abdominal surgery. If you have a hernia from a different procedure a great deal of caution must a taken when performing liposuction as you do not want the liposuction to injure the intestine that may be in the hernia. Please don't forget this-an injury like this can be fatal.
Hernias after liposuction?
I am really puzzled by this. A hernia is a protrusion of tissue through a membrane or muscle.
In liposuction, this means a hole was created by the liposuction in the muscle wall. Are you sure this is what happened?
Is it possible the hernias were there before?
Even though some plastic surgeons have been fully trained in General Surgery (the specialty that takes care of hernias), most will not correct hernias and will instead refer the case to a General Surgeon.
I do cases in conjunction with General Surgeons, and they will repair the hernia, and I do the other parts of the surgery. If you have a hernia, go see a General Surgeon.

They are friends, not evil machines
There's a lot of propaganda in the media about how walkers can be dangerous and dirty. But they are the most gentle friends in the world. I once saw a coil leg model carefully stepping over some tree frogs that were crossing the road. Just because they're big and bulky doesn't mean they'll hurt you.

Eureka Police Department officers responded Friday afternoon to reports of a bullet that struck a metal garage at J's RV Center on Indianola Road.
The EPD was continuing to look into the incident, but officers at the scene indicated the shot that hit the garage was probably accidental.
J's RV owner Jay Bahner said he hears gunshots often at his business, which is backed up to a rural tract of land between U.S. Highway 101 and Old Arcata Road. He aid they have never struck one of his buildings, and he usually doesn't hear them in the middle of the day.
Bahner said one of his employees heard the bullet strike the metal building.
"In the middle of the afternoon, to hit a building? We're worried about people getting injured here," he said.

Profiles in Outage
Sometimes the slap comes out of nowhere. I remember taking a leisurely walk in my neighborhood in Manhattan's Upper West Side when a little girl dashed over from one end of a schoolyard to start cackling nonsense syllables at me. At first I wondered what was going on. Then I realized she was speaking mock Chinese. At the U.S. Open tennis tournament a few weeks ago, an attendant managing the crowd rather rudely shoved me against a wall. I asked why, and he suddenly became aware that I spoke English. He then said, Use the other exit. And more than once, when carrying a couple of plastic or paper bags on a visit to friends, I have been asked by the doorman not to leave menus in the hallway after I delivered the Chinese food. My complaints are a minor litany and not uncommon. For other Americans of Asian descent, there are sharper reminders that we are not yet considered part of the American context, that our presence is unidiomatic, all too easily aped, too often perceived as too alien to be appreciated as anything other than caricature. When the focus is on the un-American-ness of public figures, yellowface can generate the quick laugh. It was the route chosen by the National Review in 1997 when it lampooned the Clintons and Al Gore on its cover during the campaign-finance Asian money scandals. The Wen Ho Lee case reminds Chinese Americans in particular of the extraterritoriality imposed on compound citizens. Everyone has a story, no matter how lofty the post.Matt Fong was the 1998 Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate and felt the sting during that fierce run for national office. He recalls several instances when a reporter asked him which side he would pick if he were a member of the U.S. Senate and China attacked the U.S. The questions were unjust. Fong is a fourth-generation Californian and served as state treasurer from 1995 to 1999. His mother was California's secretary of state from 1975 to 1994. There is a subtle stereotyping and racism below the surface, says Fong. It caught Wen Ho Lee, and it caught me.Christopher Lee, former president of production at Columbia Pictures, remembers a comment an executive made to him, objecting to the film version of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club: There are no Americans in it. Lee replied, There are Americans in it. They just don't look like you.Lisa Ling knows that kind of talk all too well. Now a co-host of ABC's popular daytime talk show The View, Ling grew up outside Sacramento, Calif., with people getting in my face and going 'Risa Ring.' They'd call me Lisa Yellow. Today, as a highly visible TV personality, she gets the taunts via e-mail. Within the haystack of praise in her In box, she finds the occasional slur. They'll add 'Chink' at the end or 'Go home to China.' I got a pretty hurtful one that said, 'I'm a Vietnam veteran, and I can't stand to look at your flat face every day.' Sometimes I can't help myself. And I wrote back, 'I hope my flat face continues to torment you in perpetuity.'Asian Americans are subjected to the same type of egregious racial profiling that other groups suffer, especially African Americans. Three-quarters of young Asian respondents said they had been subjected to illegal stops and searches by police, according to a recent survey by the New York City-based Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence.But few other ethnic groups must deal with a stereotype that presumes disloyalty. That history goes back to Anglo-inspired exclusionary acts against Chinese and Japanese immigrants and the ferocity of the Pacific, Korean and Vietnam wars. It remains a living memory. Alice Young, a lawyer in a high-powered international-law firm, recalls a day in school in lily-white McLean, Va., in the early '60s. They had a film on communism, and we were all sitting in our chairs watching it, and the communist happened to be a Chinese-looking person, and at the end of the film, it said if you see anyone who looks suspicious, please call your FBI bureau. And the lights came on, and all of a sudden I noticed that all my classmates had moved their chairs away from me. She had suddenly become the wily Oriental.Aware of such deep prejudices, Asian Americans were not surprised by news that the case against Wen Ho Lee may have been pressed by race baiters.There are people who think every Chinese in a [defense] lab is a threat, says Brian Sun, one of Lee's lawyers. The low level of trust seems to be reflected in employment statistics. Asian Americans make up 80% of the Los Alamos personnel but only about a quarter of management. A study also showed that Asian Americans there earn lower salaries than their Anglo counterparts.The Lee case has become a major impetus for Chinese Americans to organize as a political force. The Wen Ho Lee Fund, based in California, has so far raised nearly $400,000 in small donations from across the country. Lee's release is likely to increase financial support for his full exoneration�and to fuel future Asian-American activism. Previous forays into the political process have proved disastrous. The campaign-finance scandals of the past few years have smothered Asian contributions and hence influence. John Huang, a Democratic fund raiser, pleaded guilty to conspiring to break campaign-finance laws; Johnny Chung, a California businessman (also represented by Lee's lawyer Sun), pleaded guilty to making illegal campaign contributions. Even public service was seen as dangerous territory. Clinton appointee Hoyt Zia, chief counsel for the Bureau of Export Administration, faced conservative challenges to his loyalty as an American before he left the post. Says his sister Helen Zia, author of the new book Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People: Every Asian-American in Washington became a potential suspect. There is the perception that Asian Americans are easy to pick on because we don't have political clout and we don't speak out, says aids researcher Dr. David Ho, Time's 1996 Man of the Year. He and others plan to use a Sept. 18 White House-sponsored Asian-American initiative at New York University to rally support for Wen Ho Lee and Asian-American civil rights. Says Ho: We need our Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons to scream bloody murder when an injustice is carried out against our community. Lee's nine-month imprisonment may be the last time an Asian American suffers in silence.

I tried a 150 champ sidewinder and 161 star roadrunner today, and I found the sidewinder to travel farther and be easier to control. I used a heavier champ sidewinder for years as my main dirver, so it feels really familiar. It's travelling about 75 feet farther with my new technique using strong grip and aggressive follow through, and the increase over my Leopard is enough that I would like to add it to my bag now. I can't make it go straight like the leopard, but with room to maneuver it seems to go about 35 feet farther. So on wider fairways, I think it can get me enough increase in distance to be worth toting around.
I'm considering also adding an overstable distance driver for wind, sidearm, and overheads that is like the banshee but yields more distance. I noticed Blake's chart indicates that the Firebird and Monster travel even less distance than the Banshee, so I don't see the point in adding either of those to my bag. Innova's chart does not recommend the Starfire for sidearm shots. So I am considering the Tee Rex or Max in Champ plastic, but I'm not sure of the weight I should use. What do you guys recommend for a headwind/sidearm disc that is going to travel farther than the banshee? What weight? I noticed the Max does not come in 150 class, so that could play into things. But the tee rex only comes in 150 in DX plastic. What to do? 150 R-Pro Boss?

Hong Kong Airport dividend payout of HK$5.3 billion raises eyebrows
Operator paid record sum to the government, even as it struggles to find cash for new runway likely to be city's costliest infrastructure project
Questions have arisen over the Airport Authority's dividend policy after it paid a record HK$5.3 billion to its sole shareholder, the Hong Kong government.
The generous dividend comes as the airport operator struggles to formulate a financing plan for a multibillion-dollar runway expansion that it has been advocating.
Compared with last year's payout, the sum represents a rise of 20.5 per cent - a higher rate than the 14 per cent net profit growth to HK$6.4 billion the authority reported yesterday.
With the latest dividend, the government has pocketed about HK$29 billion since 2003, the year it started recouping its capital injection of HK$36.6 billion into the authority that put Chek Lap Kok airport into operation in 1998.
Stanley Hui Hon-chung, the authority's outgoing chief executive, sidestepped questions on whether the payout should be lowered in order to strengthen the operator's finances.
"It is a decision of the authority's board," Hui said, referring to the 17-member governing organ on which the highest-ranking government official is Secretary for Transport and Housing Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung.
The authority said the financing plan for the third airport runway would not be ready before the end of the year.
But the project is expected to cost more than the HK$130 billion estimated in 2011, and may become the city's most expensive infrastructure project ever.
Even before construction began, more than HK$600 million has been spent in the past two years on consultancies and environmental impact studies for the project.
Joe Ng Cho-hin, vice-chairman of the Board of Airline Representatives, asked if the authority should continue with such a big dividend in the face of huge infrastructure investment ahead.
"We are concerned if the authority, as a government-owned entity, should earn as much as that," Ng said. He questioned the necessity of the big dividend payout, saying such lavish disbursement would "indirectly increase the burden on the airlines and passengers".
Hui was non-committal over whether to raise fees, saying only that the share of airport charges - mainly in airlines' payments for parking, landing and terminal building - in the authority's revenue stream would be steady.
The authority attributed its strong performance to 6.1 per cent growth in passengers to 60 million and a 6.3 per cent increase in aircraft movements to more than 370,000 last year.
Revenue from retail concessions and advertising registered 23 per cent growth year on year to HK$6.1 billion, and remained the largest single source of income.

When it comes to antimicrobials, farmers better follow the adage of "use them right or lose them."
Christine Hoang, assistant director, Scientific Activities Division of the American Veterinary Medical Association, operates on the premise that "it's better to prevent a disease if you can." As such, Hoang urged attendees at the Annual Business Conference of the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin, in Madison, Wis., to follow drug labels to a "T" or be prepared for the consequences. And usage of these tools in agriculture is under increasing scrutiny by the media and regulators.
People care about antibiotic usage in animals because they want safe food and they are told by the media to care, Hoang explains.
"What everyone gets really upset about is the indirect route of transmission, and no one even knows if this indirect route of transmission really occurs," she says. "It's all based on theory, not fact. But this theory is what causes so much concern in the media."
Calling negative messages spread to the public about indirect route of transmission "not correct," Hoang explained that many people equate producer's use of antimicrobials to consumers sprinkling antibiotics on their children's cereal every morning.
"Consumers don't know the facts," she adds. "They believe what they have read and what others have said. We all know that animals are not fed antimicrobials every day."
Hoang urged dairy producers to consider people's incorrect belief about indirect route of transmission as drugs are administered to animals — no matter how infrequently the drugs are administered.
In addition, you need to be aware of, and concerned about PAMTA (the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act) and the role PAMTA activists are trying to play in the future use of antibiotics in animal agriculture.
"They want only treatment use. Yes, they are trying to cut out all antimicrobial use unless an animal is ill," she says. "They want to ban growth promotant usage and use of antimicrobials for prevention of disease."
Hoang strongly advises producers to continue to use animal agriculture drugs responsibly. She points out that consumer concerns coupled with response to residues have resulted in "important drugs no longer being available."
"When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says no extra label drug use, they mean it," she warns. "If a drug is not followed according to its label, it can be withdrawn from the market. The pulled drug will not even be available for use according to label."
There are a few easy steps you can take to help prevent this from happening.
First, read the product labels. "It's that simple, says Hoang. "Read the label and follow it. If you don't understand a label or want reassurance regarding that you fully understand a label, visit with your veterinarian. If you follow your veterinarian's instructions, you should be OK."
Hoang acknowledges that mistakes related to drug usage can occur.
Secondly, "if you make a mistake administering a drug, let someone know," she says. And always follow withdrawal times. Plus perform bulk tank testing, be open to inspections and testing and keep accurate records.
Hoang encourages producers to be actively involved, maintain a voice and become advocates so accurate messages are delivered to the public.

Recast Results: "The Brady Bunch"
Recast Results: "The Brady Bunch"
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie and the winner gets a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
Here I was thinking "The Brady Bunch" would be the hardest Recast of all, given the large cast, but once again you all surprised and delighted me with your lists. I especially enjoyed catstarr's mega-celebrity cast list — while Paris Hilton doesn't seem to adopt the, uh, Brady value system there is something intrinsically Marcia-like about her.
I also think legaleagle's pick of John Krasinski as Greg Brady is adorable. And I must say Yoshi Unique's idea of Jackie Chan and Salma Hayek heading up the Brady clan would be perfect for a 21st century "Brady Bunch."
Overall, however, my favorite cast list comes from celebrity_soup! Congrats, celebrity_soup!
To see celebrity_soup's recast list and the new cast photo,
celebrity_soup's cast:
Mike Brady: Dennis Quaid
Carol Brady: Faith Ford
Alice Nelson: Jane Fonda
Marcia Brady: Mischa Barton
Jan Brady: Emily Osment
Cindy Brady: Elle Fanning
Greg Brady: Adrian Grenier

Bobby Brady: Jacob Smith

Agencies Tap Programmatic Platform to Buy TV Ads14 Aug, 2013 By: Doug McPherson
NEW YORK – Behind all the hustle and bustle of TV ad buying in 2013, a new "audience-buying" platform called AudienceXpress has served almost 2 billion ad impressions to network TV viewers this year under the radar of the TV ad industry.
AudienceXpress features a programmatic TV buying platform that automates the planning, buying and daily reporting of linear TV campaigns. The service began in January with a beta that the trading desks of at least two of the biggest agency holding companies have used.
The system, similar to targeted TV ad server Visible World, has managed to convince a critical mass of TV industry suppliers to put enough advertising inventory into an exchange that would create enough scale for big agencies and advertisers to use it.
That's something big players such as Google (Google TV Ads), Microsoft (Navic) and startups like Spotrunner (Malibu) and a host of failed dot-com era ventures have failed to do.
MediaDailyNews reports that because of its implications for the overall media marketplace, the rapid rise of programmatic trading in the online display advertising marketplace has been closely watched and has split Madison Avenue and its media supply chain into two philosophical camps: Those that want to preserve the world of traditional media buying based on relationships, salesmanship, marketing and person-to-person negotiations; and those who want to shift to a new world of "audience-buying" based on scientific, real-time programmatic technology enabling brands to reach the audiences they are seeking to reach with their precious ad budgets at that exact moment in time.
Walt Horstman, a Visible World executive who developed and manages the AudienceXpress platform, said the success came after convincing the supply side that they were 100 percent in control of how, when, to whom and for how much their advertising inventory got sold. "The inventory partners we work with are extremely sensitive," Horstman explained to MediaDailyNews. "If there is one thing folks in the TV business are incredibly sensitive about, it's protecting the value of their inventory."
Interpublic's Magna unit reports programmatic buying of media currently represents about 25 percent of online display buys, and is growing fast. Magna predicts it will grow to 43 percent of online buys by 2017. Magna has not forecasted how programmatic trading will impact other media, because with the exception of social and mobile, the rest of the supply chain has been slow to adopt automated trading technology. But last week, a top Magna media-buying executive, Executive Vice President Todd Gordon, told attendees at a Nielsen event produced by Beet.TV that programmatic buying would represent the vast majority of the way its agencies buy media within three years.
Horstman said a key element is ensuring that the inventory-sensitive suppliers have control and can understand the upside of trading that way.
MediaDailyNews reported that one of the ways that AudienceXpress has done that is by giving TV suppliers complete, real-time transparency on the supply-and-demand of their inventory, including the exact pricing and yield they fetch when they put their inventory into AudienceXpress to be traded programmatically.
Horstman didn't share which agency trading desks are using AudienceXpress, but they're known to be two of the most active and aggressive developers of programmatic trading. He also would not disclose the identities of the suppliers placing their inventory into the programmatic trading platform, but he said they are among the major cable TV operators that Visible World has integrated its target ad serving technology with, and that it is that infrastructure that is enabling the automated trading to happen.
Visible World claims its ad serving technology is integrated into systems representing about 80 percent of U.S. cable TV households. Based on the number of systems actually trading through AudienceXpress' platform, it currently reaches 50 million homes, but a spokesperson said the company is "onboarding new partners each quarter."

Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis).
Because the clots block blood flow to the lungs, pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. However, prompt treatment greatly reduces the risk of death. Taking measures to prevent blood clots in your legs will help protect you against pulmonary embolism.

New Mexico looking into 'grisly' elk find
Biologists from the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish made what's being called "a grisly discovery" Aug. 27 when more than 100 elk were found dead in northeastern New Mexico.
According to the agency, biologists found the dead elk in a one-half- to three-quarter-mile area within the same 24-hour period.
"At this time we're looking into all possible causes, including epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD)," said Kerry Mower, a wildlife disease specialist with the DGF. "What we do know from aerial surveys is that the die-off appears to be confined to a relatively small area, and that the elk were not shot by poachers."
EHD is a sometimes fatal virus known to affect deer (most-often white-tailed deer), elk, pronghorn antelope and rarely cattle. It does not affect humans.
According to New Mexico officials, EHD does not affect humans, and it is not contagious or spread from contact with an infected animal.
It is spread by biting insects, including midges, often called no-see-ums, that proliferate during dry periods of late summer and early fall.
Animals infected with the illness can show symptoms as early as seven days after exposure, a Department of Game and Fish spokesperson said.
Eight to 36 hours after the onset of observable signs, the animals go into shock and die.
Other animals such as sheep and cattle can contract the disease, although it is rarely fatal for domesticated animals.
More than 30 states have reported cases of EHD, and it and chronic wasting disease (CWD), which is contagious, are considered two of the major threats to wild deer nationwide.
"With EHD, an elk could get a fever," Department of Game and Fish spokesperson Rachel Shockley said in an interview with a local television station. "It's usually a pretty fast illness."
The die-off is an inauspicious start to New Mexico's elk bow-hunting season, which begins today.
Hunters in Game Management Unit 46 north of Las Vegas are advised to be on the lookout for animals that are behaving strangely or appear sick.
Although meat from animals stricken with EHD is still safe to eat, hunters are advised to be careful when field-dressing game and to always wear rubber gloves.
