Local Disaster Response Team Helps Oklahoma Tornado Recovery
An intense search and rescue operation is underway in Moore, Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City suburb of 56,000 people that received the brunt of the damage from Monday's level five tornado.
AmeriCares, a nonprofit emergency response organization based in Stamford, Connecticut, sent staff members to the area to help with the disaster.
"There's traffic where you would wait for hours to re-enter the community and there's definitely debris that prohibits people from going back into their homes, as well as seeking access to healthcare and other critical services," said Kate Dischino, an emergency response coordinator with the organization.

Social media and ad exchanges deliver clicks and conversions at the lowest cost of all channels, but networks and exchanges don't deliver high-quality, long-term customers, according to a new report from Aggregate Knowledge.
Social media and ad exchanges deliver clicks and conversions at the lowest cost of all channels, but networks and exchanges don't deliver high-quality, long-term customers, according to a new report from Aggregate Knowledge.
When a marketer's goal is to reach new consumers and be able to message them consistently, social media and portals delivery the best combination of quality and value, the report says.
Aggregate Knowledge's Global Media Intelligence Report, released today analyzed aggregated data for approximately 150 billion ad events managed by the company's Media Intelligence Platform. It looked at the largest digital marketing channels: exchanges, networks, portals, and social media, focusing on four key metrics: cost, reach efficiency, user quality, and funnel attribution. The data included 35 billion impressions and 780,000 conversions in Q4 2012.
It's important to look beyond reach efficiency when using such data, says Rob Gatto, president of Aggregate Knowledge. "The report helps marketers to look through a different prism as to how they should measure performance across different channels - and across the media buy," he says.
For example, looking at the cost metric, the Aggregate Knowledge report found that ad exchanges deliver clicks and conversions at the lowest cost. On the other hand, when viewed through the prisms of reach efficiency and user quality, social media performs more than 2.5 times better than the indexed average, while networks and exchanges perform 35 to 69 percent below the indexed average in reaching high-quality users that can consistently be marketed to. (To date, Facebook is by far the largest source of social media data in the database, although Gatto expects that to evolve over time.)
The analysis also showed that, when it comes to funnel attribution, social media and portals are undervalued. These channels offer the ability to reach consumers again and again, along with a high level of exclusivity.
Gatto says that approximately half of all cookies disappear after they're read for the first time - and exchanges and networks are where most of them disappear. Portals and social media have more consistent cookie bases, making their user bases of higher quality. "People log in, stay logged in, or come back again and again. You can understand their attributes, what they react to, and what they don't," he says.
Most analyses give extra credit for conversions to ad networks and exchanges, Gatto says, because of the sheer volume of ads reaching consumers at the bottom of the purchase funnel. However, if you look further back up the funnel, the influence of social media and portals grows.
"This raises some questions about the last-touch attribution model we've used for years and whether we're giving enough credit to channels in the upper part of the funnel model," Gatto says. "We think multi-touch attribution is something that every marketer should look at."

Genome sequencing and bioinformatics are producing detailed lists of the molecular components contained in many prokaryotic organisms. From this 'parts catalogue' of a microbial cell, in silico representations of integrated metabolic functions can be constructed and analyzed using flux balance analysis (FBA). FBA is particularly well-suited to study metabolic networks based on genomic, biochemical, and strain specific information.
Herein, we have utilized FBA to interpret and analyze the metabolic capabilities of Escherichia coli. We have computationally mapped the metabolic capabilities of E. coli using FBA and examined the optimal utilization of the E. coli metabolic pathways as a function of environmental variables. We have used an in silico analysis to identify seven gene products of central metabolism (glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, TCA cycle, electron transport system) essential for aerobic growth of E. coli on glucose minimal media, and 15 gene products essential for anaerobic growth on glucose minimal media. The in silico tpi-, zwf, and pta- mutant strains were examined in more detail by mapping the capabilities of these in silico isogenic strains.
We found that computational models of E. coli metabolism based on physicochemical constraints can be used to interpret mutant behavior. These in silica results lead to a further understanding of the complex genotype-phenotype relation.

The knowledge of a complete genome sequence holds the potential to reveal the 'blueprints' for cellular life. The genome sequence contains the information to propagate the living system, and this information exists as open reading frames (ORFs) and regulatory information. Computational approaches have been developed (and are continuously being improved) to decipher the information encoded in the DNA [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. However, it is becoming evident that cellular functions are intricate and the integrated function of biological systems involves many complex interactions among the molecular components within the cell. To understand the complexity inherent in cellular networks, approaches that focus on the systemic properties of the network are also required.
The complexity of integrated cellular systems leads to an important point, namely that the properties of complex biological processes cannot be analyzed or predicted based solely on a description of the individual components, and integrated systems based approaches must be applied [8]. The focus of such research represents a departure from the classical reductionist approach in the biological sciences, and moves toward the integrated approach to understanding the interrelatedness of gene function and the role of each gene in the context of multi genetic cellular functions or genetic circuits [8,9,10].
The engineering approach to analysis and design of complex systems is to have a mathematical or computer model; e.g. a dynamic simulator of a cellular process that is based on fundamental physicochemical laws and principles. Herein, we will analyze the integrated function of the metabolic pathways, and there has been a long history of mathematical modeling of metabolic networks in cellular systems, which dates back to the 1960s [11, 12]. While the ultimate goal is the development of dynamic models for the complete simulation of cellular metabolism, the success of such approaches has been severely hampered by the lack of kinetic information on the dynamics and regulation of metabolism. However, in the absence of kinetic information it is still possible to assess the theoretical capabilities and operative modes of metabolism using flux balance analysis (FBA) [10, 13,14,15,16,17].
We have developed an in silico representation of Escherichia coli (E. coli in silico) to describe the bacterium's metabolic capabilities [18]. E. coli in silico was derived based on the annotated genetic sequence [19], biochemical literature [20], and the online bioinformatic databases [21,22,23]. The properties of E. coli in silico were analyzed and compared to the in vivo properties of E. coli, and it was shown that E. coli in silico can be used to interpret the metabolic phenotype of many E. coli mutants [18]. However, the utilization of the metabolic genes is dependent on the carbon source and the substrate availability [24, 25]. Thus, the mutant phenotype is also dependent on specific environmental parameters. Therefore, herein we have utilized E. coli in silico to computationally examine the condition dependent optimal metabolic pathway utilization, and we will show that the FBA can be used to analyze and interpret the metabolic behavior of wildtype and mutant E. coli strains.
Materials and Methods
Flux balance analysis
All biological processes are subjected to physico chemical constraints (such as mass balance, osmotic pressure, electro neutrality, thermodynamic, and other constraints). As a result of decades of metabolic research and the recent genome sequencing projects, the mass balance constraints on cellular metabolism can be assigned on a genome scale for a number of organisms. Methods have been developed to analyze the metabolic capabilities of a cellular system based on the mass balance constraints and this approach is known as flux balance analysis (FBA) [13, 14, 16] (see the supplementary information for an FBA primer). The mass balance constraints in a metabolic network can be represented mathematically by a matrix equation:
S • v = 0 Equation 1
The matrix S is the mxn stoichiometric matrix, where m is the number of metabolites and n is the number of reactions in the network (The E. coli stoichiometric matrix is available in matrix format in the supplementary information and in a reaction list in Appendices 1-3). The vector v represents all fluxes in the metabolic network, including the internal fluxes, transport fluxes and the growth flux.
For the E. coli metabolic network represented by Eqn. 1, the number of fluxes was greater than the number of mass balance constraints; thus, there were multiple feasible flux distributions that satisfied the mass balance constraints, and the solutions (or feasible metabolic flux distributions) were confined to the nullspace of the matrix S.
In addition to the mass balance constraints, we imposed constraints on the magnitude of individual metabolic fluxes.
αi ≤ vi ≤ βi Equation 2
The linear inequality constraints were used to enforce the reversibility of each metabolic reaction and the maximal flux in the transport reactions. The reversibility constraints for each reaction are indicated online. The transport flux for inorganic phosphate, ammonia, carbon dioxide, sulfate, potassium, and sodium was unrestrained (αi = -∞ and βi = ∞). The transport flux for the other metabolites, when available in the in silico medium, was constrained between zero and the maximal level (0 ≤ vi ≤ vimax). The vimax values used in the simulations are noted for each simulation (Fig. 1). When a metabolite was not available in the medium, the transport flux was constrained to zero. The transport flux for metabolites capable of leaving the metabolic network (i.e. acetate, ethanol, lactate, succinate, formate, and pyruvate) was always unconstrained in the net outward direction.
The intersection of the nullspace and the region defined by the linear inequalities defined a region in flux space that we will refer to as the feasible set, and the feasible set defined the capabilities of the metabolic network subject to the imposed cellular constraints. It should be noted that every vector v within the feasible set is not reachable by the cell under a given condition due to other constraints not considered in the analysis (i.e. maximal internal fluxes and gene regulation). The feasible set can be further reduced by imposing additional constraints (i.e. kinetic or gene regulatory constraints), and in the limiting condition where all constraints are known, the feasible set may reduce to a single point.
A particular metabolic flux distribution within the feasible set (vector v which satisfies the constraints in Eqns. 1 and 2) was found using linear programming (LP). A commercially available LP package was used (LINDO, Lindo Systems Inc., Chicago, II). LP identified a solution that minimized a metabolic objective function (subject to the imposed constraints- Eqns. 1 and 2) [16, 48, 49], and was formulated as shown below:
Minimize -Z
where Z = Σ ci vi = <c • v> Equation 3
The vector c was used to select a linear combination of metabolic fluxes to include in the objective function [50]. Herein, c was defined as the unit vector in the direction of the growth flux, and the growth flux was defined in terms of the biosynthetic requirements:
(Equation 4)
where dm is the biomass composition of metabolite Xm (we used a constant biomass composition defined from the literature [51] (see Appendix 4)), and the growth flux was modeled as a single reaction that converts all the biosynthetic precursors into biomass.
Phenotype Phase Plane Analysis
All feasible E. coli in silico metabolic flux distributions are mathematically confined to the feasible set, which is a region in flux space ( n), where each solution in this space corresponds to a feasible metabolic flux distribution.
Phenotype Phase Plane (PhPP): A PhPP is a two-dimensional projection of the feasible set, and below we will briefly discuss the formalism for constructing the PhPP. Two parameters that describe the growth conditions (such as substrate and oxygen uptake rates) were defined as the two axes of the two dimensional space. The optimal flux distribution was calculated (using LP) for all points in this plane by solving the LP problem while adjusting the exchange flux constraints (defining the two-dimensional space). A finite number of qualitatively different patterns of metabolic pathway utilization were identified in such a plane, and lines were drawn to demarcate these regions. Each region is denoted by Pnx, y, where 'P' indicates that the region was defined by a phenotype phase plane analysis, 'n' denotes the number of the demarcated phase (as shown in a particular PhPP figure), and 'x, y' denotes the two uptake rates on the axis of the PhPP. PhPPs were also generated for mutant genotypes; represented as Pgenenx, y.
One demarcation line in the PhPP was defined as the line of optimality (LO). The LO represents the optimal relation between exchange fluxes defined on the axes of the PhPP.
Alterations of the genotype
FBA and E. coli in silico were used to examine the systemic effects of in silico gene deletions. The genes involved in the central metabolic pathways (glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, TCA cycle, electron transport) were subjected to removal from E. coli in silico. To simulate a gene deletion, all metabolic reactions catalyzed by a given gene product were simultaneously constrained to zero. Some metabolic reactions were catalyzed by more than one enzyme, and all genes that code for enzymes that catalyze a given reaction were simultaneously removed (i.e. rpiAB). Furthermore, all genes that make up an enzyme complex were also simultaneously removed (i.e. sdhABCD).
The optimal metabolic flux distribution for the generation of biomass was calculated for each in silico deletion strain. The in silico gene deletion analysis was performed with the transport flux constraints defined by the wild-type PhPP. The constraints imposed for each simulation are noted in Fig. 1.
For each in silico deletion strain, the optimal production of the twelve biosynthetic precursors and the metabolic cofactors was also calculated to identify auxotrophic requirements and impaired functions in the metabolic network (Table 1). The optimal production of the biosynthetic precursors was calculated by setting the objective function to the drain of a single metabolite (i.e., ATP → ADP + Pi, or PEP →). The numerical value of the objective function for each in silico deletion strain was reported as a fraction of the wild-type optimal value (Table 1).
Figure 1. Growth phenotypes of in silico deletion strains; maximal biomass yields on glucose for all possible single gene deletions in central intermediary metabolism. The environmental variables (uptake rate/external metabolic fluxes) are set to correspond to a point within each of the phases of the wild-type PhPP (figure inset). The maximal yields were calculated using flux-balance analysis with the objective of maximizing the growth flux. The biomass yields are normalized with respect to the results for the full metabolic genotype. The α and β value for the constraints on the external fluxes for glucose and oxygen uptake are defined as follows (units- mmole g-1 hr-1): Phase 1 - vglc = 10, voxy = 23; LO - vgic = 10, voxy = 20.3; Phase 2 - vglc = 10, voxy = 17; Phase 3 - vglc = 10, voxy = 12; Phase 4 - vglc = 10, voxy = 8; Phase 5 - vglc = 10, voxy = 3; Phase 6 - vglc = 10, voxy = 0.

There is some good news coming out of the latest census, and I don't just mean the fact that Texas may be losing a congressional seat.
No, according to new records as the census is being returned, women are now earning just as many advanced degrees as men these days.
Among adults 25 and older, 29 percent of women in the U.S. have at least a bachelor's degree, compared with 30 percent of men, according to 2009 census figures released Tuesday. Measured by raw numbers, women already surpass men in undergraduate degrees by roughly 1.2 million.
Women also have drawn even with men in holding advanced degrees. Women represented roughly half of those in the U.S. with a master's degree or higher, due largely to years of steady increases in women opting to pursue a medical or law degree.
At current rates, women could pass men in total advanced degrees this year, even though they still trail significantly in several categories such as business, science and engineering.
"It won't be long before women dominate higher education and every degree level up to Ph.D.," said Mark Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint who is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank. "They are getting the skills that will protect them from future downturn
Unfortunately, just because we are getting more of the degrees, and starting to dominate some levels of education, that doesn't translate to higher earning.
Women with full-time jobs now have weekly earnings equal to 80.2 percent of what men earn, up slightly from 2008 but lower than a high of 81 percent in 2005.
"I don't know if we can be heartened by the educational gains, because it is persistent wage discrimination that is driving women to get a higher education," said Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women. "As more women enter the workplace, I think they will realize the unfairness of the situation they're experiencing and demand change."
Demanding change is a noble charge, but how exactly does one do it? We've known for decades now that women make less than male counterparts, yet there has been little done to fix this issue. True, we have made advances via instances like the Lilly Ledbetter Act, but the Paycheck Fairness Act is still stalled in the Senate, making gender discrimination in pay still hard to prosecute.
Will the great Wal-Mart gender discrimination suit finally be the Waterloo that will make employers see that paying women less and not allowing them access to the same promotions and opportunities male employees receive is a punishable offense?
One can only hope so.

Women are affected by their cycles, in the years after age 40, and by pregnancy that may affect employers´ standards, I still think "equal pay for equal work"
Excellent pont, Johan! Additionally, women need to look ahead to the probability that they will be supporting the household longer. I have heard that most women will outlive their husbands/partners. Who will pay the majority of the bills then? When you have a job and you stop working, what happens to your income?
There's a reason most psychics, soothsayers, and healers are depicted as women. Even ancient cultures have ideas that women have mysteriousness and wisdom. It is important to exercise that and plan a second or even third string of income. Perhaps a business from home that is truly legit and is performing very well on the NYSE? Something to think about -- keeping your present job if you wish but having extra income as well without a huge strain on time..
Let's start off by saying that diplomas don't mean a thing!
It only goes to show prospective employers that you are not dumb!
It is only through practical experience that your salary will in the long run, be determined!
Of course it is completely unfair that a woman with identical or more diplomas should get a starting salary that is less than of her male counterpart.
You have to do more, ladies!
Vote more women into congress and let them fight for you!
We already know all about Wal-Mart, but there much be thousands of other businesses that have the same unfair labour practices!
I hope that I can use my business as a way to help them have a higher income and better options to control their own life. As a woman, I look out for other women, and I know when my millions come in, I will devote much of it to helping to solve some of these problems.
Many women will go to college just to become stay at home moms when/if they have kids,
women also live a considerable amount longer than men, so more women are in retirement than men, so wouldn't there be a lot more 0s being averaged in?
Still, it's stupid, equal pay for equal work!
Walmart pays unfairly, or at least a one around here did, then they got sued :)
Every women should compare her salary with a male co-worker to make sure she is gettng the same!
Some info regarding majors and income (for what it's worth):
Morgan, interesting take on "residual" for me that means the money the company I am associated with will pay me year after year as long as my customers are active. If I die, they'll pay my estate.
Please excuse my typo's..my keys seem to be sticking together sometimes...lol..need to clean my keyboard!
Just my 2 cents: If a Woman is doing the same work as a Man,
and just as good at it, then, she should be getting the same amount of pay!
So, the covers any field that they may be in. Whether it be a
minimum wage job, or contruction, Military, Dr., Nursing,
With further education or not..some people get a Degree
and don't know how to use it..so, it just hangs on the wall
as a 'see what I got'.
Thanks, very interesting article, Robin Marty.
This has been argued for years and years now, and it still hasn't changed all that much. Fortunately I chose nursing where gender doesn't affect pay all that much, just opportunities. Male graduates from nursing school are offered higher paying management jobs immediately before graduating. Otherwise the pay is the same. When working for government, the nurses were paid more than sanitarians (usually males filled these positions) and social workers (many males in this role these days). The nurses were organized in a union which made a huge difference. Unions can help correct this problem, but most professionals do not have unions.
Sam's Club, which is part of Wal-Mart, said that their employees can chose to belong to a union, but did say that they have no union. I read that if anyone mentions the word they get fired. For non-degreed, hourly paid jobs unions would fix this fast. Being from Michigan and family members who belonged to unions, I am pro union.
Otherwise, we need The Paycheck Fairness Act to pass. Call your Senators to support this legislations.

Leaked video compares upcoming HTC One to current smartphone
Video of soon-to-be-released 2014 HTC One has been reportedly leaked, in which the upcoming smartphone has been compared to its 2013 predecessor.
A developer edition of 2014 HTC One has been fully detailed in a 12-minute video, showing the redesigned smartphone's slightly curvier and softer look.
According to The Verge, the display of the smartphone appeared enlarged from 4.7 to 5 inches, while the headphone jack could be found at the bottom of the phone and the top has a black plastic panel, and the side includes a microSD card slot.
The person handling the One in the video, said that HTC's BlinkFeed was 'actually really cool now' and described the camera as 'spectacular.'

5 Steps to Better Protect Your Kids
Changing your will is relatively easy. You can revoke your current will and have a new one prepared, or you can amend your existing will by creating a codicil. Your attorney can advise you on which option best meets your objectives.
Quick Tip
What is a codicil? A codicil is a legal document written by your estate planning attorney that changes specific provisions in your will but leaves all other provisions unchanged.
Here are five estate planning updates affecting your children that you should make immediately:
- Have a guardianship plan. Name a suitable guardian for your minor children in your will. Choose someone who is willing and qualified to take the job and who shares your values and way of life.
- Protect what belongs to your children. Make sure your assets and property pass to your children. Spell out in your will the specifics of distributing assets so your children receive what was earmarked for them. Remember, assets aren't only items with financial value. Sentimental items like heirlooms and family photos can be noted in an updated will to pass to your children as well.
- Safeguard minor children. If you have minor children, consider placing the assets you want them to inherit in a trust until they are old enough. This prevents court battles if a judge has to name someone as their conservator.
- Name a new executor. If your children are of the age of legal majority, you can appoint them as executors, or you can choose a trusted friend or a loved one.
- Update beneficiary designations. Life insurance, annuities, retirement benefits and IRAs are usually payable to a named beneficiary and do not pass under the terms of your will. Check these documents to see whether you need to complete new beneficiary designation forms, adding your children's names or a trust for their benefit, to make certain assets are left to your intended heirs. These are also tax-smart vehicles for supporting your favorite charitable organizations, such as Gustavus Adolphus College.
Don't Forget Your Favorite Causes When Updating Your Will
In your existing will, you may have made specific gifts of property or assets that you no longer own to charitable organizations like Gustavus. Update your will to reflect these changes so the causes you care about most aren't left out.
|Discover the many different ways you can use your will to support the most important people and organizations in your life.
Where to Find Assistance
Your estate planning attorney is the best resource when it comes to updating your plans. If you're interested in supporting Gustavus Adolphus College through your estate plans, we would be happy to work with you and your advisors to find a giving option that works for you.

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations says key world powers trying to promote Mideast peace are calling on Israel and Hamas to implement an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and southern Israel.
The so-called Quartet — the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia — appealed "for an immediate cease-fire that would be fully respected," U.N. deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said following a teleconference Tuesday morning.
The Quartet also called for the serious humanitarian and economic needs in Gaza to be addressed, and agreed on the urgent need for Israelis and Palestinians to continue on the road to peace, she said.

Monica Olsen may not be a household name yet, but that's probably because your prude wife is intimidated by her. She may be 'Brett Ratnerfied' with his upcoming The Unknowns project, which means we could be seeing her hot, if somewhat extremely enhanced boobs, on the big screen in the near future.
A word from Monica: "I like guns… I think every women should know how to use one."
I'm not going to lie. If you were holding a gun in any of your spreads I would totally, totally enjoy that. With oil all over you too, of course.
More pics of Monica and her gun rack after the jump…
We haven't really been covering Mark Pellington's indie drama I Melt With You because it didn't have any porn stars attached. Suddenly, the project sounds a lot more interesting with the addition of Sasha Grey. The porn star has enjoyed a career reinvention recently and is building up an impressive resume by picking up roles that don't require her to spit on her hand.
I Melt With You stars non-porn actors Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, and Rob Lowe as friends who feel empty inside and decide to resurrect a pact from their college days. Grey will play "a free spirit who helps one of the men realize that nirvana can only be achieved by death." And deep-throating. Tons and tons of deep-throating. (THR)
Dinner for Schmucks PG-13, 104m., 2010 Cast Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Bruce Greenwood, Ron Livingston, Stephanie Szostack, Lucy Punch, David Walliams with Jemaine Clement, and Zach Galifianakis Directed by Jay…
In the latest addition of "Between Two Ferns," guest Steve Carell turns the tables on host Zach Galifianakis. You'd think the two would have formed some semblance of a friendship on the set of Dinner for Schmucks, but Carell is completely on the defense right when the cameras start rolling. These interviews never fail to crack me up, and this one is definitely one of the best. Mainly because Carell has a big nose and Galifianakis is overweight.
Check out the video after the jump…
We haven't seen much out of Russell Brand besides his roles as Aldous Snow or when he goes on "The View" and references Joy Behar's lady parts. We'll see what he can do with his next two projects, where he'll portray a drunken millionaire and the Easter Bunny. Now it looks like he may follow those up as a legendary swordsman in Hawkwood.
20th Century Fox has picked up the pitch that has Brand playing John Hawkwood, a real-life swashbuckler from Renaissance times. It's reported that the script will be punched up and tailored more to Brand's comedy style. So keep an eye out for a John Hawkwood who awkwardly hosts basic cable awards shows and flirts with crones twice his age. (Deadline)
Guillermo Del Toro's next directorial project will be At the Mountains of Madness, Latino Review is reporting.
Based on an H.P. Lovecraft novel, the film will tell the tale of a team of scientists who unwittingly awaken prehistoric creatures while on a mission in Antarctica. As you might imagine, they aren't friendly creatures, and bad things begin to happen.
James Cameron has taken some time off from cleaning the oil spill and saving the indigenous population of South America to produce the film, so I hope you like 3D.

Good news. The Thor trailer from Comic-Con has been magically leaked onto the internet. Now, instead of fighting with a bunch of 20-something virgins for a spot in Hall H, you can watch the trailer from the comfort of your very own home. You don't even have to risk getting stabbed in the eye with a pen.
So, sit back and relax as the Norse God Thor is banished to Earth by another god who looks suspiciously like Anthony Hopkins. (Cinema Blend)

Earlier today we showed you the poster for the hybrid live-action/animation adaptation of Yogi Bear, and now the trailer has dropped for you kids to enjoy! And make no mistake, it's specifically for you kids! There are CGI bears and real people co-existing in harmony in a national park with pies! Pies and pic-i-nic baskets!
The film stars Dan Aykroyd as Yogi, Justin Timberlake as Boo Boo, Tom Cavanagh as Park Ranger Smith, and Anna Faris as a documentary filmmaker looking to exploit the talking bears! Do you know what exploit means, kids?! No?! Well then you probably don't know what chloroform means either!
Yogi Bear sneaks into theaters December 17, 2010!

"Lost co-creator and series finale ruiner (flame war!) has closed a deal to rewrite the Alien Prequel, which will hopefully be directed by Ridley Scott. As you may or may not know, Ridley kinda did the first Alien movie. Hit me with the facts, Deadline:
In a development as vexing as a Lost plotline, studio insiders said that while Lindelof indeed met with Scott and the studio for that rewrite job, the exchange of ideas between them sparked a take that could well turn out to be a free-standing science fiction film. The studio will decide when Lindelof turns it in. Scott Free is producing and Lindelof's CAA reps closed his deal last night.
So basically Lindelof wins either way. He rewrites what's sure to be a blockbuster prequel to a film that was a seminal influence on him, or he gets paid to write an original sci-fi project. It's almost as big of a conundrum as deciding which Pop Tart I'll allow myself today. S'mores toasts better, but strawberry I can eat right out of the silver packaging…
A new comedy titled Reply All was pitched around town this week with Zach Galifianakis attached to star. Dreamworks heard that and snatched it up immediately. There's no logline yet, but it's got Zach and that's all that matters for big box office.
Still though, what could this thing be about? Judging by the title, I'm worried. It sounds like a crappy romantic comedy where Kristin Bell and Javier Bardem hate one another because of an email that was sent to the wrong recipients, but then they decide they love one another because he's a straight-talking repairman with a hidden talent for painting and she's a magazine editor. If television and movies have taught me anything, magazine editors always end up with straight-talking repairmen with a hidden talent for painting. It's science. (Deadline)
Arny and Georgy always had the greatest of fun in the snow.
Warner Bros. has unleashed the new poster for the live-action/animated Yogi Bear feature film. It showcases Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake, in bear form, hanging out amidst a cornucopia of ravaged picnic baskets. The worst part about it is that everything is only half-eaten. If they're going to ruin a slew of Sunday outings, they should at least destroy all the evidence. Park Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh) is going to have a sh*tfit when he sees what these mischievious bears have done. Real good example for Boo Boo, Yogi. REAL good.
Look for the trailer up later this afternoon. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some spoiled egg salad to attend to. (Yahoo)
The vote is still out here at SJ on whether Lucy Punch is a butterface or not. What we do know is she is in very high in demand lately with Dinner for Schmucks this week and then taking over for Nicole Kidman in Woody Allen's You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger this fall, where she'll be playing Anthony Hopkins's young plaything.
A word from Lucy: "No man in all the kingdom will resist me with the hats I wear."
As long as you wear them low over your face. Sorry, I don't keep my gloves up.

Michael Bay has been laying waste to Chicago under the guise of shooting the big budget action movie sequel Transformers 3. We've been seeing a ton of pics and videos from the set rolling in over the past few weeks, and today is no exception. /Film put together a great collection of the latest footage and shots, and I thought I'd share some of it with you here. Warning: Sh*t gets real.
Jon Favreau is putting on a brave face when discussing the dissolution of his bromance with Robert Downey Jr.. He's spoken out about Downey's need to jump off Cowboys & Aliens in favor of Sherlock Holmes 2 and seems to be a pretty good sport about it. He also tells The Playlist about the joys of working with Hollywood codger Harrison Ford.
"That's sort of an inside joke between us," says Favreau. 'I said, "You're coming to Comic-Con with me' and he said, 'I've never been there. I'm not going. If you're going to bring me, you've got to bring me in handcuffs.' I showed up with handcuffs yesterday on the set from the prop man. And so he cam and wore the handcuffs on stage."
Which really was not a good idea. That room full of Crystal Skull haters ripped the restrained Ford limb from limb. Harrison J. Ford 1942 – 2010.
When asked about what we might expect to see from him next, Favreau responded that he'd like to take on the zombie genre. Prepare yourselves to see Vince Vaughn just eating everything in sight. More than usual.
Alien abductions and big explosions: together at last!
Director Michael Bay is teaming with Paramount Pictures to produce Bobby Glickert's upcoming alien film, tentativly titled Confidential Alien Project (don't let them screw with that title, Bobby). While Glickert has directed a few horror shorts, this will be his first full-length feature. Insiders are comparing the film to both Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity, which is a nice way of saying it's cheap. Considering Paramount is hoping to keep the budget at around $12 million, that seems to be the case.
Deadline is reporting that Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, is currently shopping for writers, so if anyone knows a lot of synonyms for "Kaboom," send your resume here.
Steve Carell was Raised By Wolfs, which explains why his new film misspells "wolves" in the title.
DreamWorks Studios is teaming with Carell's Carousel Productions to back the project, which is still in the "pitch" stage. While the exact plot of the Les Firestein comedy is unknown, I think it's safe to say it involves Carell's character being raised by America's favorite AHL hockey team, the Chicago Wolves (two time Calder Cup winners). (Latino Review)
How do you make the ensemble cast of Horrible Bosses even better? Throw in the "Old Spice Guy," of course.
Isaiah Mustafa, the star of the now legendary deodorant ads will reportedly play a cop in the upcoming comedy. Mustafa joins a list of Hollywood heavyweights, including Colin Farrell, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, and Kevin Spacey, just to name a few.
Will the fact that Mustafa is the face of Old Spice create animosity with co-star Kevin Spacey, a well known Brut man? We'll keep you posted (Cinema Blend).
I found the film easier to decipher than this graphic made for clarification.

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay unleashed this trailer for The Virginity Hit this past weekend at Comic-Con to a very confused audience. The film, which the dynamic duo are producing, came off as a joke at first. Then it went on just a little too long and we all realized it wasn't a joke, it was a promotion for an actual feature length film.
No disrespect to Team McFerrell, but this premise is an exercise in deceased equine abuse (beating a dead horse, to you laymen). It's a mash-up of 40 Year-Old Virgin, Superbad, and American Pie with the added, quickly becoming overused, faux documentary approach. Maybe that's why everyone at Comic-Con thought it was a parody of those films. Maybe it should have been…

Justin Timberlake has been offered the lead role opposite Amanda Seyfried in Andrew Niccol's dumbly-titled I'm.mortal. If Timberlake joins the cast of hot, young things in Niccol's science fiction-tinged excuse to meet attractive women, he'll play the role of a rebel from the ghetto who goes on the run with Seyfried as his hostage. That's right, "Breakin' Up My Heart" has talked street long enough that Hollywood actually believes him to be street. "Sup, girl. You just been took hostage by Orlando's most wanted. Nah mean? Buh! Buh! Rap!! Rap!! Rap!! Pssh!!! Betta ack like ya know." **moonwalks away menacingly** (Deadline)
The road to casting Andrew Garfield for Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot was a bumpy one at best. As the time for a decision drew near, the filmmakers whittled their list of hopefuls down to five young actors. One of these hopefuls was Josh Hutcherson, who was once the rumored front-runner to walk in Tobey Maguire's shadow. Though we'll never see Hutcherson play Parker on the big screen, we can now see him in an awkwardly-staged audition video.
Latino Review was able to unearth the tape that caught the attention of Sony execs and Marc Webb. It's rumored to have been choreographed by fight choreographer Larnell Stovell, and shows Hutcherson's Parker squaring off against a gang of high school bullies, who he easily flings into well-placed exercise mats. It really is such a good thing that those mats were there. Check out the video here and let us know what you think of Hutcherson as Parker. He looks like too much like he should be playing keyboards for Panic At The Disco to me.

What does it mean?!
Brett Ratner is getting in the spy game. Ratner bought the film rights to "The Unknowns," a comic book written by Mark A. Altman ("DOA: Dead Or Alive"), Steve Kriozere ("NCIS") and model/actress Monica Olsen.
The comic tells the story of a woman who learns she was once the leader of an elite team called the Unknowns. She rejoins the team to learn who or what erased her memories and why. That definitely seems like it has movie potential. Hard to say what attracted Ratner to the project. Is he a fan of DOA, "NCIS", or model/actress Monica Olsen's talents.
We may never know. (Variety)
Amanda Crew is a former Blockbuster employee turned actress, who stole the show in Sex Drive along with fellow nerdy friend Clark Duke. She can be seen in this week's upcoming Charlie St. Cloud, further proving that I should have asked out that girl who worked at the Hot Topic store all those years ago. But mother wouldn't approve of it.
A word from Amanda: "I'll take a total nerd over a football jock any day. They are so darn cute I could eat 'em!"
But never date them.
Their body language says everything.
Another actor has once again jumped McG's This Means War ship. Sam Worthington was set to duel with Chris Pine in the project, but the Aussie actor has peaced out and Brit Tom Hardy has taken his place. Now Hardy and Pine, both Star Trek nuuuuurds, will go after each other black-ops-spy-style while also vying for the hand of Reese Witherspoon.
I'm a huge fan of this pairing. Tom Hardy's performance in Inception was one of the most enjoyable parts of the film, and Chris Pine proved he can hold his own in the Star Trek reboot. Watching these two fine actors go head-to-head with spy sh*t could be an exhilarating match. Especially if McG scores the scene with a Prodigy "Firestarter"/Usher "Daddy's Home" remix. (Vulture)
With Dinner for Schmucks out later this week, we felt nostalgic for some of our favorite movie schmucks. Then, we imagined, if they can make a crossover as spectacular as Freddy vs. Jason, or Alien vs. Predator, why wasn't THIS dinner movie greenlit (Schmucks: The Spacklering?).
I smell Oscar!
If you're already making a movie out of a grid-based board game, and you've already decided to add an extraterrestrial element for no apparent reason, why in the hell wouldn't you throw a popular female R'n'B singer into the mix?
Empire Online is reporting that Rihanna will make her feature film debut in Peter Berg's Battleship. The singer will join Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch who have already signed on to the project, for some reason.
Not to be outdone, Rihanna's ex-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, has announced plans to star in an off-Broadway production of Connect Four: The Musical. Will it prove as successful? Only time will tell.
I'm sad to report that those of us waiting to see a poignant, arthouse remake of a film about a part robot, part human cop who walks through walls and fights cyber-ninjas are to be left wanting. Darren Aronofsky's long-in-the-works, inexplicable remake of Robocop has officially been scrapped. The collapse of the project was came about for two reasons: MGM's money problems, and Darren Aronofsky's realizing that he is Darren Aronofsky. (Moviehole)

Milestone Payments slated for reduction from $25 Million to $7 Million,
Royalties from 10-12% to 4%
HOPKINTON, Mass., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alseres Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALSE), today announced an agreement with BioAxone Therapeutic, Inc., of Montreal, Canada, whereby, upon payment by Alseres of an option fee of $7 million on or before October 27, 2008, Alseres may exercise an option to amend the Company's Cethrin License Agreement.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070608/NEF043LOGO )
Pursuant to the option agreement, the pre-commercial milestone payments in the amended license agreement will be reduced from $25 million to $7 million payable on or before December 31, 2009. In addition, the sales-based royalties in the amended license agreement will be reduced from 10-12% to 4% for spinal cord injury and 1% for all other indications.

then seek attractive partnerships for the assets. In addition to reducing
the future cash burdens of the license, we believe that the reduction in
our future royalty obligations will allow us to more freely explore
worldwide collaboration and partnership opportunities not only in spinal
cord injury b

Agenda Bill: Update on 2014 Pilot Program 10-21-14
Agenda Bill: PMP Implementation Update 6-17-14
Agenda Bill: Final Parking Management Plan Implementation 1-12-14
Draft Parking Management Plan 5-30-2013 (Reviewed by City Council on June 4, 2013)
The City of Laguna Beach seeks to maximize the effectiveness of the public parking and publicly accessible parking in Downtown Laguna Beach and on Laguna Canyon Road through a Parking Management Plan containing innovative parking management strategies that complement Complete Streets policies. The study area contains over 2,000 public parking spaces plus a number of publicly accessible privately-owned parking spaces and the demand for these spaces is generated by a variety of users including residents, employers/employees, and visitors (beach-goers, retail patrons, restaurant/bar patrons, festival attendees/participants, etc.). The Parking Management Plan is designed to specifically address these unique parking demands and contains dynamic components and strategies to satisfy the needs of all users of a multi-modal transportation circulation system, including pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, users of public transportation, and motorists.
In summer 2014, the City initiated a phased implementation of the Parking Management Plan with a pilot program designed to reduce congestion in the downtown, encourage peripheral parking and utilization of the City's summer trolley system. Strategies included in the pilot program were: installation of better signage and branding of public parking lots; implementing valet parking; increasing parking rates during periods of peak demand; extending hours of meter operation; identifying additional peripheral parking lots; and, data collection and monitoring.
Project Area
Study area map [link to map]
On October 21, 2014, staff presented an update on the pilot parking program to the City Council. Staff will continue to analyze data collected over the summer and meet with stakeholder groups before returning to the City Council in early 2015 with recommendations for the summer 2015 parking program, along with recommendations for off-season parking management.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
OK, so if you've been following along with my recent adventures, it's been about a month since I placed everything I own in storage somewhere in the Bronx.Since then I've been doing what the kids are calling, "couch surfing," staying with a couple of different friends, and there's just a little more of that to follow. One moment I was in a concrete garden and the next I was in the woods listening to tall pine trees creak and wondering what was moving around in the brush. It's as if I was thrown into the transport machine on the starship, Enterprise. I can only hope I'm not the unnamed extra who always gets killed off right before the last commercial interruption. There have been a lot of changes from the inside out as well, because this breather from having a regular life wasn't something I had placed on my to-do list, and yet here it is. There was a moment when I was sending out some thank-you notes to people who helped me to quickly rearrange my life and I wasn't sure what to put on the return address, so I left it blank. Even more perplexing was how OK I felt at not being able to pin down where I am fastened to the world. That used to be so important to me, and I'm not sure when it was that it slipped away. Maybe it was after listening to my friend, Susie Hamway, who is completing her studies to become a minister and was struggling with one of the last academic duties. She was supposed to be writing a eulogy, but somehow, it just wasn't getting done. Of course, that got all of us thinking about what we'd want in our own eulogy. There were a lot of character traits thrown into the mix, like compassionate or creative, but no one mentioned anything they owned. That's not going to be surprising to anyone else. We know we're not supposed to appear as if our bedroom set meant that much to us. However, stop and think about what it would feel like if all of those furnishings suddenly disappeared, and a pang of fear usually grips most of us. That's got more to do with a big competition we've set up with ourselves and measuring progress in the race by how much stuff we've accumulated. But by the time a eulogy comes up, we're done with the contest and it's much easier to take a step back and size up what really mattered all along. We can do that for ourselves now, instead, and then use it as some basic guidelines for how we see others. That would change all the usual questions in our head as well. Instead of scanning the inventory and taking note of the new car or the down-filled couch, we can see if we have a job that we look forward to on Sunday. Or we can try and recall our spouse's eye color, favorite food and secret ambition and if we don't, go find out. We can write down our own secret ambitions and share them with the people who would encourage us, and we can ask for help working toward accomplishing the list. Don't forget to also include an overview that answers the question about how many times your life intersects with others in both giving and receiving, so that a certain balance is always maintained. Then, when that last eulogy is finally given, the hall will be standing room only and become a celebration of a life well-lived. More adventures to follow. If you'd like to get involved in the 2009 America Challenge to raise funds for community-based charities, e-mail me at email@example.com, for more information. Together, we're going to build stronger communities and empower ourselves. Martha's column is distributed exclusively by Cagle Cartoons Inc., newspaper syndicate. E-mail her at: email@example.com.

A struggling actor with a bad reputation (Hoffman) changes his name from Michael Dorsey to Dorothy Michaels and finds success as the fairer sex, starring in a popular soap opera. When he falls in love with a female co-star (Lange), he's forced to either keep it under his false breasts, or come clean and turn himself into a national laughing stock.
A sparkling turn by Hoffman and an absolutely fabulous cast make this a risk - and a risque - success.
