Steve Carell to Star in Cancer Drama 'Priority List' (Exclusive)
Warner Bros. has acquired rights to David Menasche's memoir, which Carell also will produce.
Warner Bros. has acquired rights to The Priority List: A Teacher's Final Quest to Discover Life's Greatest Lessons, a memoir by David Menasche, with Steve Carell attached to star.
Carell also is on board to produce with his cohorts from the studio-based Carousel Productions, Charlie Hartsock and Vance DeGeneres.
In 2006, Menasche, then a Miami high school teacher, was told he only had a few months left to live after being diagnosed with brain cancer. He managed to extend his life via several surgeries and years of chemo but a seizure in 2012 ended his teaching career.
PHOTOS: 'Anchorman 2' Premiere: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd Step Out in NY
Menasche then decided to embark on a cross-country journey to reconnect with former students from his 15-year teaching career, come to terms with his illness and learn to live fully in the present. (He is still alive.)
Touchstone published the book in January 2014.
The book deal is the first move by Warners exec Andy Fischel since his promotion to vp creative development in February.
CAA repped Menasche in the deal, and Brandi Bowles at Foundry Literary + Media is Menasche's publishing rep.
Carell, repped by WME and Media Four, next appears in Disney's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

The Only Final Fantasy VII Review You Need to Read
Touch Arcade's Shaun Musgrave is basically a walking JRPG encyclopedia. He's given his thorough review treatment to Final Fantasy VII on iOS, and it's just as fantastic and enlightening a read as you'd expect if you follow his work. You should read it from start to finish, but here's an excerpt from the four-star review to get you started:
If you can take that all in stride, this is actually a perfectly serviceable version of Final Fantasy 7. The mini-games work well enough with the virtual controls, the loading times are greatly reduced as compared to the original PlayStation version, and all of the interesting new options from the Steam release of the game have been carried over. That means players who just want to zoom through and enjoy the story can press a button to max out every stat, flick off encounters, and cruise through. Similarly, expert players who want to make things a little spicier can now simply turn off encounters to keep their levels low rather than the tedious process of running away. For everyone in between, being able to flick encounters on and off is a small, but appreciated update. You'll make it hard on yourself if you use it too much, but being able to double-back and check a different branch in a dungeon without getting slammed by meaningless encounters is pretty useful, as far as I'm concerned.

When most of us think of inflation, we think of rising prices that strain budgets and take away our buying power. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, inflation skyrocketed as high as 14.8% in the U.S. and interest rates climbed to similar levels. Few living Americans know what it's like to face the opposite phenomenon - deflation.
TUTORIAL: Economic Indicators To Know
Since too much inflation is generally regarded as a bad thing, wouldn't it follow that deflation might be good thing? Not necessarily, since much depends on the cause and circumstances of the deflationary cycle and how long it lasts. (Deflation has continued to pop up throughout economic history - but is that such a bad thing? Learn more in The Upside Of Deflation.)
What Is It?
Deflation is a general decline in prices as a function of supply and demand for products, and the money used to buy them. Deflation can be caused by a decrease in the demand for products, an increase in the supply of products, excess production capacity, increase in the demand for money, or a decrease in the supply of money or availability of credit.
Decreased demand for products can manifest itself in the form of less personal spending, less investment spending and less government spending. While deflation is often associated with an economic recession or depression, it can occur during periods of relative prosperity if the right conditions are present.
Practical Application
If prices are dropping because a product can be produced more efficiently and cheaply in greater quantity, that's viewed as a good thing. An example of this is consumer electronics which are far better and more sophisticated than ever. Yet prices have consistently dropped as the technology improved and spurred more demand. (Learn more in our Economics Basics Tutorial.)
The effect on prices by fluctuations in the demand for money is usually a function of interest rates. As the demand for money increases during a period of inflation, interest rates rise to compensate for the higher demand and to keep prices from rising further. Conversely, deflation will result in lower interest rates as the demand for money drops. In that case, the goal is to spur buyer demand to stimulate the economy.
The Great Depression
Severe economic contraction during the Great Depression resulted in deflation averaging -10.2% in 1932. As the stock market began to crater in late 1929, the supply of money declined along with it as liquidity was drained from the marketplace.
Once the downward spiral had begun, it fed on itself. As people lost their jobs, this reduced the demand for goods, causing further job losses. The decline in prices wasn't enough to spur demand because rising unemployment undercut consumer purchasing power to a far greater degree. The snowball effect didn't stop there, as banks began to fold as loan defaults rose dramatically.
As banks stopped lending money and credit dried up, the money supply contracted and demand tanked. Although the demand for money remained high, no one could afford it because the supply had shrunk. Once this vicious cycle took hold, it lasted a decade until the beginning of World War II.
Possible Effects
There are many reasons to be concerned about a prolonged deflationary period, even without an event as devastating as the Great Depression:
1. Demand for goods decreases since consumers delay purchases, expecting lower prices in the future. This compounds itself as prices drop further in response to decreasing demand.
2. Consumers expect to earn less, and will protect assets rather than spend them. Since 70% of the U.S. economy is consumer-driven, this would have a negative effect on GDP.
3. Bank lending drops since borrowing money makes less sense in regards to the real cost. This is because the loan would be paid back with money that is worth more than it is now.
4. Deflation ensures that borrowers which loot to purchase assets lose since an asset becomes worth less in the future than when it was bought.
5. The more indebted you are, the worse your condition since your salary will likely decline while your loan payments remain the same.
6. During inflation, there is no upper limit on interest rates to control the inflation. During deflation, the lower limit is zero. Lenders won't lend for zero percent interest. At rates above zero, lenders make money but borrowers lose and won't borrow as much.
7. Corporate profits usually drop during a deflationary period, which could cause a corresponding decrease in stock prices. This has a ripple effect to consumers who rely on stock appreciation and dividends to supplement their incomes.
8. Unemployment rises and wages decline as demand drops and companies struggle to make a profit. This has a compounding effect throughout the entire economy.
What to Do
Ever since the Great Depression, there has been a continuing debate on how best to combat recessions and deflation. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has adopted a policy of "quantitative easing," which essentially amounts to printing money to buy U. S. Treasuries. Following Keynesian economic theory, he is using the money supply to offset the economic contraction that resulted from the financial meltdown in 2008 and the bursting of the housing bubble. How this plays out remains to be seen since these policies are designed to cause inflation.
If the U.S. were to enter a sustained deflationary cycle, your best protection is to hold onto your job and have as little debt as possible. You don't want to be locked in to paying off a loan with money that is increasing in value every day. Save as much money as possible and defer discretionary purchases until prices are lower. Finally, consider selling assets that you don't need while they still have value.
What a Fed Delay Means for the ECB & BoJThe Fed's continued delay has repercussions for more than just the U.S. economy and markets. The ECB and the BoJ may support the case for stocks in Europe.
Understanding Income InequalityIncome inequality refers to the uneven distribution of income across a single economy.
Who is a Hawk?In the economic sense of the word, a hawk is someone who believes high interest rates should be maintained to keep inflation low.

The Queen, surgery, and a new Etsy shop.
he he. You never cease to amuse me pinterest.
In other news, Natalie got her tonsils and adenoids out on Monday. She did REALLY well! Slept most of day one, yesterday she was up but resting all day and even ate some noodles. Today she seems a bit more sore but still recovering well. I am just looking forward to a winter without strep! Lily is up next for surgery, the tubes in her ears have not fallen out after 2 years so they have to remove them. Recovery from that is much faster!
For those of you who are keeping tabs on the topics to be discussed, as mentioned in my super original post title, we are up to the last and final topic. A new Etsy shop!! No, not mine but close. My sister's!! She is a fantastic artist and painter. Right now her shop is still in the beginning stages. Not that I am an Etsy pro but I am going to help her as much as I can so you guys can also see how talented she is! So pop over to Kilora's Kreations and take a peak. Make sure to check back often as her inventory will be increasing and different things will be tweaked. If you want, show her some love and hit that favorite button! And if you have time, feel free to stop by my shop, I won't be mad if you buy something...just sayin' :)
I'll be back really soon to share a BIG announcement!! I'm mean BIG people! Seriously. It's huge.

Prep Your House for Vacation
Is your home vacation ready? HGTV Magazine tells you how to get things settled before leaving for your summer trip.
Never announce you're away
Wait until you're home to post vacation pics on Facebook, advises Allstate insurance agent Jim Towns. Also, turn off the volume on your home phone so the ringing won't signal an opportunity to passersby, and don't change your voice mail greeting to say you're out of town.
Eliminate easy access
According to statistics from the FBI, 61% of burglars use force to gain entry, "but they'll often look for open doors and windows first," says Jim Towns. Check that all door and window locks are working (including windows on the second story), and repair any broken glass, particularly in basement windows. Bring in any hidden keys.
Make sure gutters, downspouts, and drains are clear
If water overflows from its proper channels, it can seep under siding and flood the basement.
Enlist a friend's help
Ask a neighbor to check on your house every other day and to bring in any unexpected deliveries, such as phone books, circulars, and FedEx notices. Make sure she has a key to your house.
Flush the toilets
Leave the lid up (just this once) so you don't come home to icky, stagnant water.
Secure the garage
If you're leaving your car at home, park it outside, against the garage door, to block access. Remove garage door remotes from the car and unplug the electric door opener (the box unit attached to the garage ceiling), so the door can't be opened while you're away. Make sure to lock the car and garage doors.
Arm the alarms
Notify your security company that you'll be away. Give a family member or friend your alarm code, the security company's phone number, your itinerary, and your contact numbers. Press the "test" button on your smoke alarms to make sure they work, and change the battery if necessary.
Stop all deliveries and pickups
Have your mail held while you're away. You can sign up online at holdmail.usps.com/holdmail. Don't forget to cancel garbage pickup and newspaper deliveries, too.
Power down small appliances
"A power surge can damage these items or even cause a fire," says Jim Towns. Unplug any small appliances and electronics that aren't plugged into a surge protector-such as the toaster and coffeemaker-and turn all your surge protector switches to off.
Cut the water supply in flood-prone spots
If a hose to your dishwasher or washing machine happens to crack or come loose while you're away, you could come back to a flood, so turn off the water supply to those two appliances. For the dishwasher, the lever handle is usually located under the sink. For the washing machine, look for a valve switch behind the machine.
Trim tree limbs
"Prune branches that extend over your house, particularly any that are dying or dead-the ones that are bare when they should have leaves," says Mike Holmes, host of Holmes on Homes. "Doing so will prevent a lot of expensive damage if there's a storm while you're on vacation."
Don't turn off the AC
It may sound like a waste of money and energy, but a warm temperature indoors can cause mold and mildew to grow in just a few days. "Set the air conditioner to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and your house will stay cool enough to prevent both," says Craig Muccio, energy expert at Florida Power & Light Company.
Run the dishwasher
After the cycle has finished, empty the dishwasher, then leave the dishwasher door open. That will allow the interior to dry, and it won't smell musty by the time you get home.
Light your home like you're there
"The kitchen is usually in the back of the house-a favorite spot for break-ins-and it often has no plug-in lights," says Lou Manfredini, Ace's home expert. Move a lamp into the kitchen and plug it into a timer that you can set on random. "You also want to illuminate all the main outdoor entrances," says Mike Holmes. "So buy an outdoor timer, too, and set it so the lights go on at dusk and off at dawn."

I am continually shocked when people use hydrocephalus (water on the brain as some call it) as a justification for abortion, and yet, it seems that it is almost unanimously argued as a justifyable reason...even from those leaning pro-life. Why is this? It seems like very few people know what it is except for those heavy into the abortion debate.
Hydrocephalus as reason for termination?
You mention Spina Bifida as a reason for termination. Today the quality of life prospects for children born with Spina Bifida are very good.I volunteer with my local Spina Bifida Association chapter and I was born in the early 1960s with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. I know many adults and children with Spina Bifida. Personally my mobility is good - even though my break was very high and conventional wisdom says that should mean very limited mobility. I have had shunt revisions both as a child and as an adult.
THose born with SB are very likely to go to college. And I know of SBA chapters that offer scholarships. THere are many adaptive sports programs for those with mobility challenges. THere are camp opprtunities in some places for SB children. There are support groups for parents, THe national SBA has an annual conference (It's on Indianapolis in 2012 on late June) that provides a lot of useful sessions as well as a Kids Camp. Medically there are often challenges - mobility, the need to catheterize for many as part of their toileting regimen, monitoring ther shunt and hospitalizations that go along with that and somr other things. But almost all enjoy life. And thanks to disability advocacy, things are better than years ago.
I do not know where you got your gloom and doom perspective on Spina Bifida.It does frighten me that a medical professional holds that view of Spina Bifida.
Disclaimer: The Spina Bifida Association takes no position on the abortion debate. It did, however, advocate for treatment in the Spina Bifida Baby Doe case in the 1980s.
I started this thread three years ago, and I am surprised that it still keeps going and going. I am proud of all the brave women on here who chose to become moms of special needs kids. To those that chose another path, I am proud of you for soul searching and doing a lot of thinking to decide what is right for your child. You wouldn't have read this if you didn't care.
I am so proud of my now 9 year old with hydrocephalus. Parent teacher conferences are on Wednesday. I hope to see lots of A's on his next report card so we can have celebration snow cones.
I have not read all the replies yet but I was dx'ed with Hydro at 3mths of age. Yes, its not completely the same but treatment is close to the same. I have a very functional life and would see no need for an abortion.

Should rural towns in Japan be rebuilt?
RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan Framed by 70,000 pine trees, the mile-long strip of sandy beach was a jewel along the rocky coastline of northeastern Japan. The forest of black and red pines was planted more than three centuries ago and helped blunt the racing Pacific Ocean winds.
Today, one tree stands. The rest of the pines lie on the ground or washed out to sea, victims of the tsunami that crashed into the coast March 11 following an earthquake and wiped out dozens of communities like this one.
"It is a symbol for us gaman zuyoi," the "tough people" living in this part of Japan, says housewife Yoko Kumagai, 59, whose family is among thousands in this fishing town whose homes were demolished.
"We are tough under adversity, strong and able to persevere. That's famous throughout Japan," she says in the junior high school gymnasium that is now home to her, her husband and two children, and 800 other townspeople.
The tsunami killed more than 2,000 residents of this town, a popular resort of 23,000 people.
PHOTOS: Japanese survivors cling to hope
Like many rural communities in the USA, Rikuzentakata and countless towns and villages along Japan's ravaged coastline were home to largely elderly populations, left behind by younger people who moved inland and to the south for better jobs than the fishing and agricultural work this area could offer.
Now, the question of how — or whether — to rebuild such rural communities hangs over reconstruction efforts.
Japan's government estimates that the cost of recovery, including restoration of damaged nuclear reactors, will exceed $300 billion. That would make it the costliest natural disaster ever.
"Even before the tsunami, young people were leaving for the big cities, as there are no colleges here and jobs were already hard to find" says Futoshi Toba, mayor of Rikuzentakata, where the tsunami destroyed 40% of the city's homes.
In a population of 23,000, 35% are older than 65, says Toba, whose administration has seized on the "pine tree of hope" to try to inspire the recovery.
Working long days from a makeshift city hall, the mayor has little time for his own tragedy. His wife, Kumi Toba, 38, whose birthday was Monday, disappeared the day of the tsunami.
"I just have to do my job; other public officials' families have suffered losses too," he says of 70 missing public employees out of a total of 290 workers.
He guesses his wife, mother to their children ages 10 and 12, was helping others evacuate in an example of the public spirit and community organization that is commonplace here.
"I can shed tears later," says Toba, 46. The National Police Agency says more than 11,300 people are known to have died in the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan's northeast coast and damaged a nuclear plant, sending radiation into the environment.
Tens of thousands are still living in shelters. Another 16,290 are still listed as missing. Once the missing are classified as dead, the death toll from the disaster would exceed 25,000.
Thousands of U.S. Marines are involved in the search for bodies out to sea and along the shore.
Not equipped to recover
In the world's fastest-aging country, where nearly one-quarter of the 127 million residents are older than 65, the aging issue is magnified in the tsunami-hit coastal areas, says Jeff Kingston at Tokyo's Temple University.
"An aging society is not well-equipped physically, psychologically and financially to recover," he says. "The fact they are so aged casts a real cloud on the recovery of these communities."
The disaster-struck towns will require massive support from Tokyo, Kingston says.
However, Japan may not be in a position to do so. The country borrowed heavily over the past two decades to fund a stimulus spending plan aimed at overcoming a real estate crash in the early 1990s. The plan failed. Today, Japan's economy has slipped from No. 2 to No. 3 below China and the United States, and it has the highest level of national debt in the developed world.
"The government will want a say in how and where they rebuild. It will be a tough fight," he says. "But there's a silver lining, as it gets people to focus on how to improve health and social welfare for the elderly community."
Kingston says that officials at Japan's Ministry of Construction are proposing compact towns on higher ground, where the elderly will be easier to serve, rather than in their existing, tsunami-vulnerable communities spread along the coast.
Rikuzentakata mayor Toba puts the immediate task of building temporary housing before any longer-term plans. "If we say too quickly that we will merge with other towns, the people will be unhappy," says Toba.
Far from the bright lights of Tokyo, the worst-hit areas belong to a region, known as Tohoku, with a reputation as an agricultural backwater. But in a country that deeply reveres tradition and customs, Tohoku offers "more traditional culture than Tokyo, and more original Japanese lifestyle," says Yoko Nagamine, head of the Northern Tohoku Information Center in Morioka. "That one pine tree gives us a lesson, and shows the strength, life and soul of this area," she says.
Few Japanese professions, and lifestyles, are more traditional than the geisha, female entertainers skilled in song, music and dance.
"I will be the last geisha here," says Tsuyako Ito, in the former steel city of Kamaishi. Ito, 85, whose stage name is Chikano Fujima, lost her precious collection of kimonos and instruments along with her house on March 11 — as well as her only student, who died in the tsunami.
"I won't find another apprentice. It takes a long time to learn the skills, but young people don't want to learn. No matter how good you are, you can't make a living, so now no one else wants to be a geisha," she says.
A survivor of three previous tsunamis and the U.S. bombings in World War II, Ito says, "This tsunami was much more scary." Recovering from pneumonia in Kamaishi Hospital, Ito vows to remain in her hometown, where she performs in traditional restaurants.
Supplying Japan's keen appetite for seafood, fishing is the mainstay of most coastal towns here. In Ofunato, home to 41,000 people, including 33 centenarians, Mayor Kimiaki Toda says the biggest challenge is rebuilding the fishing industry, which employs 10% of the town. Down at the harbor, seagulls scavenge the fish products strewn around wrecked cold storage and processing facilities.
Leaking radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear reactor farther to the south could imperil the industry.
Japan's Fisheries Agency says test results show no fish were contaminated. But some foreign buyers of Japanese seafood have canceled orders, say news media reports.
Japan produced 5.43 million tons of seafood in 2009 and exported more than 200,000 tons of mackerel and tuna, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
'Most people won't stay here'
"It was difficult to hire young people before the tsunami, as fishing is hard and risky work, with low wages compared to other industries," says Toda, 61.
In office since December, the former construction executive now faces his biggest building and management project. By improving local firms' productivity, Toda hopes to raise salaries and tempt younger workers to return. To make up the labor shortfall, some firms had hired Chinese workers in recent years, Toda says, despite Japan's tight immigration controls.
Hotel owner Yaoko Tadano, 78, is proud of her town's blue-collar heritage, and vows to rebuild her ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn that typically features tatami-matted rooms and communal baths. She needs the government to loan her the $10 million cost.
Of her three grandchildren, Tadano expects only one to remain in Ofunato — a grandson, 22, who on Friday was enrolled by formal ceremony into a local land surveying company. "He's an unusual case, as most people won't stay here," she admits.
Farther north, in Miyako, fishing company boss Nomari Masahiko, 55, admits he was tempted to quit after the tsunami wrecked his quayside warehouse. "But I have a lot of workers, and became successful thanks to them. I must think about their lives and job security," Masahiko says.
"There are very few young Japanese who want to work in the fishing industry," he says.
Washing dishes with his grandmother, outside a Miyako elementary school-turned-emergency-shelter, Yosuke Shimazaki, 26, has no plans to go fishing.
"Most young people leave town to get jobs," says Shimazaki, who is unemployed. "I'd go, too, if I got the chance."
Fisherman Takashi Suzuki was clearing up his tsunami-damaged but still standing home in Miyako. He worries the disaster will accelerate the migration of young people to inland, urban areas.
"It will take over 10 years, but our city will recover," says Suzuki, 73.
In the town of Yamada, where tourists have long been attracted to its sparkling bays and $24 all-you-can-eat oyster barbecues, Shioko Sasaki is trying to get back to normal. At Yamada's blackened shell of a train station — hit by the tsunami and then fire — Sasaki, 42, and daughter Seren, 16, look at notices about replacement school buses.
"The town cannot recover," says Shioko Sasaki, whose house survived so she is likely to remain.
"The tsunami did too much damage, and another one could come, so people are scared," says Sasaki, who worked as an assistant in a now-wrecked drugstore. Says her daughter: "When I graduate, I want to find a job somewhere else, somewhere inland."
At a gymnasium beside Yamada city hall, which sits on a rise overlooking a sea of devastation, Kumiko Ito, 52, picks through mud-covered photographs and albums salvaged by rescue workers from destroyed homes. She's lucky, finding a picture of her son on his graduation from a police training college in Tokyo, where he works.
"This is the only picture I now have. It's made me happier than I have been since the tsunami," she says. Ito and her husband want to rebuild their house and life, but she doubts the town's younger generation will stay, including their other child, a daughter, 18.
Ofunato mayor Toda is confident his community will survive.
"We fell into the bottom of a steep valley," he says. "But from now on, with our best efforts, our future is bright."

Final Cut Pro 10.1 is the next major step forward for Apple's professional video editing software, Final Cut Pro X. Not since its initial release over 2 years ago has there been a more significant version with regard to performance and workflow. We created a 4 hour tutorial, aptly titled Final Cut Pro 10.1 In-Depth, to walk you through all the new changes and what they mean to your workflow. You'll learn how to: choose the best media storage options for your projects; move events and projects across libraries; share projects with remote editors; create amazing retiming effects; work with multicam clips on single-camera narrative scenes; manage disk space and much more!
Final Cut Pro 10.1 In-Depth covers every crevice of Apple's latest Final Cut Pro update and will show you things not even covered in the documentation.
Who is this Tutorial for?
Final Cut Pro 10.1 In-Depth was designed for users who are already fluent in Final Cut Pro X. As an intermediate level tutorial, it assumes you are comfortable with Final Cut Pro X's user interface and the basics of working with Libraries, Events and Projects. This tutorial is for users of Final Cut Pro X who want to improve their editing speed and efficiency and media management skillset. Users who are new to Final Cut Pro X should purchase Final Cut Pro X Core Training before working through this tutorial.
The tutorial is presented in 16 lessons with a running time of 4 hours.

LA JOLLA, CA Embargoed by the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology until February 13, 2011, 1 PM Eastern time Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute have shed new light on a molecular switch that turns genes on or off in response to a cell's energy needs.
The studypublished February 13, 2011 in an Advance Online Publication of the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biologyshows these recently discovered RNA "riboswitches" are capable of more complex functions than originally thought. In addition, because riboswitches so far have been found primarily in bacteria, the study may have implications for designing new antibiotics against harmful bacteria.
"The study provides new insights into how a single RNA molecule can integrate both positive and negative signals from a cell," said senior author Martha Fedor, an associate professor and member of the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at Scripps Research. "It extends the known capabilities of riboswitches."
Riboswitches respond to the concentrations of molecules produced by a cell's metabolismthe process of creating or using energyto regulate genes' activities. The new study shows that a particular riboswitch does not respond to just a single metabolite, as had been assumed, but rather to many such compounds.
Switching Genes On and Off
Each gene serves as a recipe for building a protein molecule. When a particular protein is needed by the cell, the corresponding gene, made of DNA, is turned "on," or transcribed into a messenger RNA, which then carries the "protein recipe" to the protein-making machinery of the cell.
For many years scientists thought proteins, unlike DNA and RNA, were the only molecules in a cell capable of accomplishing sophisticated tasks, such as regulating the activities of genes or carrying out chemical reactions. But in the past couple of decades, researchers have discovered that certain ty

MySpace Compliments MySpace Music with Ad Service
Chris Crum
As we continue to await the launch of MySpace Music, the company has launched a new self-serve advertising platform for MySpace users. The program is geared toward bands, which would compliment MySpace Music's launch quite nicely, though other users are free to advertise with it as well.
The program allows you to create your own banner ads that link to your MySpace profile rather than an outside page. Advantages of using the service that MySpace cites include:
– Targeted reach – you can narrow your campaign to a specific audience of MySpace users, including gender, age range or geographic area based on the info that users provide on their profiles.
– Ease of use – You can get your campaign online in just a few simple steps using tools provided by MySpace.
– Spending Control – You can determine how much you want to spend on a campaign, anywhere between $25 and $10,000. You're only charged when users click on your ads.
– Measurable Performance – you can track the performance of your ads and edit them, as well as adjust your spending.
Unsigned bands should be salivating at this offering. Instead of being lost in a sea of other unsigned bands on MySpace, they will have a new potentially effective promotion tool to reach the specific audiences they are trying to appeal to. Best of all, they can simply create their own designs and put them to work on a budget they can afford. This will be important to them as ever as so much music is about to become available on MySpace.

Ryan's Notes:A little something I worked up on my MBP while waiting for "Heliocentric (Night)" to render on my main box over the weekend. Once it finished I applied the finishing touches on Bucephalus.
I didn't notice while I was making it but my son Ian (upon seeing this render for the first time) mentioned that it looked like it was from the movie "Tron" we had just watched for our Friday Family movie night. I had to agree that he was right.
This is my first "mandala" since 2008. I know at the time it was suggested that I do something different with the theme next time, so I hope this qualifies!

Scotty is an adorable tri-colored Chihuahua and Jack Russell terrier mix who has found himself back at the shelter for no reason other than his people no longer wanted a dog.
He's got a pair of glitchy knees and therefore deemed unadoptable and now at risk.
This friendly, alert and young boy is eager to meet every person and other dog he sees. And, if he's sitting on your lap, watch out! He'll plant a few kisses on your face. Scotty has quickly won the heart of every shelter volunteer who has met him.
