Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, who also goes by the name "MCA," has announced that he's about to undergo treatment for a cancerous tumor in his left parotid gland, which has caused the Beastie Boys to cancel their upcoming concert tour and postpone their new album release. The news has left many people with questions about this type of cancer, its actual location, and, of course, its prognosis. The good news is that it seems the cancer was caught early and should respond well to treatment with a favorable outcome and little or no impact on Yauch's ability to sing.
First, the parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands, which are paired organs located around the jaw. The parotid is at the back and bottom of the cheek and is accompanied by the submandibular (under the jaw) and sublingual (under the tongue) salivary glands.
The salivary glands are quite far from, and well above, the voice box, or larynx, with its vocal cords. This is why surgery on these glands would not typically be expected to impact speech, voice, or singing. And because the glands are paired, one of each type on either side of the face, the removal of one should have little to no impact on the amount of saliva produced either. For a Beastie Boy -- or any singer -- this is an important consideration.
The parotid gland is the most common location for salivary gland tumors, accounting for about 50-85 percent of cases. Interestingly, however, most salivary gland tumors (50-80 percent) are benign and not cancerous, and in particular, most parotid tumors are benign (70-80 percent). It seems, however, that Yauch was one of the minority of people to have a malignant tumor in his parotid gland (although we don't actually know this for a fact). The difference between benign and malignant is determined by a pathologist through examination of the tissue under a microscope. Hopefully, the tumor might actually be benign, which would be great news.
Another way to distinguish between benign and malignant is whether the tumor has spread, because benign tumors, by definition, don't spread, either to lymph nodes or to distant organs. According to the announcement, Yauch's tumor had spread to a local lymph node, which would immediately categorize it as being malignant. Again, however, the only way to determine if the lymph node were truly affected by the cancer would be to examine it under a microscope. Lymph nodes are prone to become enlarged for other reasons besides cancer, most notably from a local infection or inflammation. Most people have had the experience of what's commonly referred to as swollen glands, which are enlarged lymph nodes (sometimes called lymph glands but which are not true glands) draining the site of an infection (you might have swollen nodes in the neck in response to a throat or ear infection, for example).
The treatment of parotid gland cancer depends on the size and location of the tumor, the degree of its spread and the degree of its malignancy. The latter refers to the tumor's appearance under the microscope. Some cancers still closely resemble the tissue of their origin and these are called low-grade or well-differentiated cancers and they typically have a better prognosis. Other cancers have undergone dramatic changes in their appearance such that they no longer resemble the tissue of origin and have a distinctly primitive and literally "ugly" appearance under the microscope. These are variously called high-grade, undifferentiated, or anaplastic, and these cancers typically have a worse prognosis.
With parotid cancers, another prognostic factor, besides lymph node involvement and degree of differentiation/appearance under the microscope is whether the tumor has affected the facial nerve. The facial nerve is the 7th cranial nerve, meaning that it's one of the 12 cranial nerves that extend directly from the brain. The facial nerve passes right through the parotid gland and can easily be affected by tumors, depending on where in the gland they are located and their size.
Parotid gland tumors that affect the facial nerve typically have a worse prognosis than those that do not. Symptoms would likely be those of paralysis of the muscles served by the nerve, particularly those of the cheek. Those of you who have had or know of people who've had Bell's palsy will recognize the symptoms of facial droop as well as paralysis of the eyelid. Involvement of the facial nerve can make surgery more difficult and in any event, removal of the parotid gland often results in some degree of facial paralysis, which, fortunately, is typically only temporary (but which can be permanent in very few cases). Overall, the risk and nature of complications of parotid gland surgery will depend on a variety of factors including the size and location of the tumor, the extent of the required surgery, the pathology of the tumor (its appearance under the microscope as discussed above) and, of course, the experience of the surgeon.
Similarly, the risk of recurrence of the cancer depends too on its location, size and microscopic appearance. Low-grade tumors that are completely removed at surgery usually do not recur. If the tumor is larger or of a higher grade (more malignant), or if it has already spread or involved the nerves or skin, it has a higher risk of recurrence. Those more malignant tumors require more than just surgery. They typically are treated with post-operative, also called adjuvant, radiation therapy. There is little use of adjuvant chemotherapy in parotid gland cancers.
While there are many questions remaining about Adam Yauch's cancer, we know that parotid gland tumors typically have a better prognosis than do cancers in the other salivary glands. We know that the announcement said the cancer was caught early, which is another good prognostic sign. Also, it appears that there is no involvement of the facial nerve, another good thing. Most important, as you can see from the location of the parotid gland, it is well removed from the voice box and the vocal cords, which means that the surgery should not affect his singing ability. This will depend, of course, on whether there is hidden involvement of the facial nerve and whether the surgery causes any injury to this important structure. It seems unlikely, however, that there would be permanent damage to this nerve.
We wish him a good surgical outcome, a speedy recovery, and an excellent prognosis, and we hope the Beastie Boys are back on tour again soon.

Covering the Bases: Game 52
FIRST: There is an easy way to see just how good of an afternoon Ricky Romero was having for the Blue Jays during a 6-1 win over the Orioles.
There is the "9" that appears in the second inning of my scorebook and then the "7" in the eighth inning. Two fly outs to the outfield. That's it. Basically, Vernon Wells got the day off from running around too much in center.
Kind of a boring day for the outfielders.
"Any boring day where they only score one run is a good day," right fielder Jose Bautista said with a smile.
Romero allowed one run in the first inning, but then settled in and cruised, finishing the second complete game of his career. Nine innings, one run allowed on six hits with two walks, seven strikeouts and 17 outs on grounders (4 on double plays).
This outing came one start after Romero's worst showing of the season and one day after Roy Halladay — ever hear of him? — threw a perfect game for the Phillies. Why do I drag Halladay's name into this? One, Romero's performance was much like many Doc has turned in for the Jays. Two, here's what Romero said when asked about his complete game…
"It's a good feeling. That's what you aim for every time you're out there. There was a guy here that did it really, really well and you try to learn from that."
SECOND: The Blue Jays went five innings without launching a home run in Sunday's win. Quite the drought. Fortunately, Toronto didn't let the power outage persist, slugging out three homers before the game was through.
Was manager Cito Gaston expecting the long balls to come at some point?
"I wish I could say that," Gaston said with a laugh. "Home runs are hard to come by, but it seems to be easy this month for us."
Sure does seem that way…
The Blue Jays now have 53 homers in May, setting a new club record for any one month. The last team to belt 50+ in one month was the Indians with 51 in September 2005. Toronto would need five homers on Monday to match the single-month record by any club. The Mariners launched 58 in May 1999 and the Orioles did the same in May 1987.
Your latest Home Run Heroes included Lyle Overbay (three in the past two games), Jose Bautista (leads the Majors with 16 this year) and Alex Gonzalez (his 11 are the most he's had in one year since belting 16 in 2007). Bautista also has 12 in May, matching the club record for one month (Jose Cruz Jr., August 2001; Carlos Delgado, August 1999).
THIRD: Some in the pressbox were joking that this three-game sweep of the Orioles deserved an asterisk since Baltimore has been playing so poorly. A sweep is a sweep, though, and a common trait of any good team is the ability to defeat the teams they are supposed to defeat. Here's a look at the sweep by the numbers: Jays hit .274 with nine home runs, 16 runs scored on offense; went 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA, 25 strikeouts, four walks and a .207 opponents' batting average as a pitching staff.
HOME: Now comes a big test for the Blue Jays. Up to this point, the Blue Jays have played 34 games against the Central and West, going 21-13 in those contests. Against the East, Toronto is 8-7, but six of those wins are against last-place Baltimore. The Jays have gone 2-7 combined against the Rays and Red Sox so far. Now comes a stretch of 24 games in a row against teams with records above .500. The next nine are versus the Rays and Yankees — both above the Jays in the East standings. Then comes Interleague Play, which has not been Toronto's favorite time of year for the last few seasons.
This is when we find out if this Blue Jays team is for real…

Hard to pick between Marcum, Cecil and Romero? Who is the consensus favourite? They've all been pretty darn impressive this year. I don't know who establishes themself as our ace long-term out of these guys? If any of them? (Drabek, Alvarez?? long-term) Marcum had the role given to him out of spring training, but it was never set in stone.
My choice is Marcum. I love the way he commands and keeps hitters off balance. He has picked up right where he left off after the injury last season. This isn't a logical choice, just based on personal favouritism.
Yeah, welikeroy, but how about a rotation where Marcum pitches third? Not out of the question with guys like Morrow, Drabek, Jenkins, Alvarez, and Stewart, among others coming along.
While I appreciate the excitement about the pitching situation (who knew coming into the season?), the real test will be the next 24 games. Remember last year and that 0-9 or 0-10 road trip about this time in the season? Could it happen again with this pitching staff? I hope folks keep things in perspective. If we could end up 12-12 in a few weeks, then even I would get excited about this year!
The Jay's pitching staff is better this year than last, in that they have Marcum back, and everyone else is more experienced. I think the pitching will for the most part will keep them in the games, as they have done so far. My concern is that they will be facing some good pitching in return, and I am wondering how well they will score runs. Good pitching will shut down good hitting every time, and manufacturing runs against the better teams has been a problem so far. It's going to be fun.
That road trip was horrible. I remember it well, however, this Jays team is playing good baseball all around! You really can't expect that kind of thing to happen, although many non-Blue Jays fans are. How many times do you hear, "The Jays will fold, they always do," from the Yankee or Red Sox faithful. My big concern this season is starting pitching, and that hasn't changed since the pre-season. We have a bunch of hitters performing far above what they have done before (i.e. Buck, Bautista, Lewis and Gonzalez), but I believe that the Jays have enough balance throughout their order to even that out. Lind and Hill will start hitting again at some point, and Snider will back to provide more balance.
I'm hoping that Marcum, Cecil and Romero can create a formidible 3 in our rotation, while relative back-end help from Morrow and Tallet, Rzepcynski, trade … whoever? It is going to be a real test for those 3 … no doubt about it. Can they keep it up? If they do, I like our chances!
What the hell happened to games 50 and 51?????
Bastian you suck…..

This is the starting position in the goal. Keep your feet at a shoulder width position and bend the knees slightly. Also keep your arms slightly bent. Don't stretch them out (extend them fully), that will make it harder to reach the ball.
You have to find a curve to work along in the goal where you feel comfortable. Follow the movement of the Ball with small steps, this way you can react at all times. Always keep your eyes on the ball. Use the goalposts now and then to check that you have the correct position in the goal.
Keep your arms in a relaxed position so that you can react to the ball. Use controlled movements to save the ball. Find a position in the goal where you can cover as much as possible while using small movements, whether it's a hand or a foot.
Use your standing leg to push off towards the far corner. Keep your eyes open and react to the ball. It's the push off, and your position in the goal, that will determine if you save the ball.
Take a step away from the corner that you want to practice. It will force you to push off with the standing leg. By doing so, you will train your technique and your push off. It's the power of the push off that gives you the speed to reach the corner. Don't forget to bring your arm down to cover over the foot.
This is an exercise to increase the speed of your movements in the goal, with one high and one low shot.
Try to make the movements as small as possible and keep your eyes on the ball.
It's important to train with the right technique, don't take any shortcuts!
Take a couple of steps to the far side to get a better angle. Try to play the ball over the defender so that your team mate can run into it.
One option to save a shot from a wing player, is to leave a space between yourself and the first goalpost and then close this gap.
Another option is to leave the far corner open, and using small steps move with the wing player and then close the gap.
It's often important to move quickly towards the pivot to cut of the angle. To train this you can use two pivots. It's important to move quickly towards the first pivot, then back to the starting point and then to explode towards the second pivot.
By placing himself in the right angle towards the shooter, the goalkeeper can cover large parts of the goal.
In this video we can se how the goalkeeper with the help from a high arm position, parries shots aimed at the top corners, with the help of one-hand saves.
The primary objective is to steer the ball outside the goal, but it's optimal to angle the ball down on the floor and thereby be able to quickly throw the ball to counter attacking teammates.
The save requires strong shoulders, elbows, wrists and a very good feeling for positioning.
In this video we can see the wingman launching his shot and the goalkeeper is trying to make him aim for the far corner.
The goalkeeper is very offensive and adjusts his position by several small movements. When the shot is finally launched, the goalkeeper blocks the far corner with both his arms and left leg.
Please note that this is executed with full force and in an explosive way.
As always, during penalty throw it is a battle between the goalkeepers experience and that of the shooters. In this video the goalkeeper wants the shooter to aim to his right side.
He leads the shooter on by making a movement with his left leg just before the shot is launched, and the shooter walks right into the trap.
The shot is launched on the side of the goalkeeper that should be exposed, but the goalkeepers trailing arm becomes an unpleasent surprise for the shooter.
Through a broad stance, small movements with his left foot and keeping the right foot on the floor, the goalkeeper signals to the shooter that a shot between the legs could be a favourable choice.
The Shooter walks right into the trap and launches his shot right where the goalkeeper wants him to shoot. By moving his supporting leg sideways the goalkeeper effectively shuts the gap and the penalty shot is saved.
The backcourt player attacks against his defender to lure him out. Then he makes sidestep towards the middle and goes for a jump shot.
The pivot player then takes a step forward and makes a well-timed side screen on the defender who now is stopped with no chance to follow the movement. The other defender must then go out on the shooter.
At the same time the pivot player falls down in the open space, receives the pass and finish the attack.
Today, Handball is a demanding role for a Pivot player. You need some tricks up your sleeve to be able to break away and take a shot.
The defender is holding on to the Pivot player. At the same time as the Pivot player catches the ball, he moves his weight downwards and twists away from the defender. What will decide if he succeeds in breaking loose, is that when twisting away he must block the arm of the defender at the same time.
The blocking of the arm combined with the movement of the line player, eliminates the defenders ability to resist the force that this movement presents. Please note how he squeezes right above the elbow of the defender.
In today's handball a backcourt player should master many different types of shooting techniques.
The underarm shot is one of the most difficult for the goalkeepers since the shot often comes as a surprise and from a hidden position.
It is important that the last step is a long one. That the shooter presses down the front leg and that he uses a lot of wrist when he shoots.
The key here is for the attacker to make the jump as high as possible and thereby gain time needed to finish his shot. By raising his arm and at the same time changing the angle of his upper torso, the attacker wants the goalkeeper to believe that he will shoot the ball in the nearest corner.
But, at the highest point of his jump there is a sudden change. He lowers his hand and with a flick of the wrist he places the ball beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.
Please note the attackers body positioning, paying attention to the angle of his upper torso, and also note the flick of his wrist and the spin that is put on the ball.
This might very well be the most technically demanding jump shot of them all. First and foremost, a quick high jump is needed in order to gain as much time and favourable angle as possible. With his lower arm, the wingman wants the goalkeeper to think that he will shoot in the far corner.
As the goalkeeper comes down from his covering top position, the wingman, acting with perfect timing, makes a lay up movement and shoots the ball passed the top of the goalkeepers head.
This feint is one of the sport's most classic and effective for breakthroughs. The feint is based on an offensive player that attacks in high speed and makes a powerful arm rotation, at the same moment as the defender is trying to get body contact.
Just before contact the attacker lays the free hand on the defender's upper arm, presses him to the side and slides past for a goal attempt. To succeed with the feint you need timing and correct distance to the defender.
In this video sequence, the flow of the shooters movement is crucial. It enables him to maintain the force of the rotation all the way to the actual shot. The Shooter wants the defender to believe that he will launch an under arm shot.
Thanks to a major shooting feint, the defender comes down low on his left foot, this is when the shooter turns and launches the Twist feint. If the shooter has calculated his timing right, he has two more steps left to twist around and launch his shot.
In order to pull off the feint, you have to execute it clearly and thereby leaving the defender rooted on the spot in order to increase your shooting chances.
The Three-step-fient is a part of Handball ABC and is considered to be one of the most used feints within the sport.
The Shooter, moving forward at a high speed, catches the ball and takes one big step to the left. Thereafter, he sets off with great speed and power to the right and after the third step he jumps up and launches his shot.
To succeed with the three-step-feint, there are some important details you need to pay attention to. Number one is to have enough strength in your legs to execute the feint properly. Number two is make sure you have the proper distance between yourself and the defender throughout the enitre movement.
The goal for the shooter is to leave the defender passive and rooted on the spot. If he succeeds, he has a better chance of launching the shot above the defender.
In order to pull off the feint, you have to execute it clearly and make sure you have power left in your legs to jump up and launch your shot. Goalkeeper - far corner save.
In this video we can see the wingman launching his shot and the goalkeeper is trying to make him aim for the far corner.
The goalkeeper is very offensive and adjusts his position by several small movements. When the shot is finally launched, the goalkeeper blocks the far corner with both his arms and left leg.
Please note that this is executed with full force and in an explosive way.
If you want to be a good penalty throw executer you need a wide range of different penalty throws in your repertoire. This one demands a distinct flick in the wrist and precision.
The penalty thrower's objective is to shoot the ball in the gap between the goalkeeper's leg and arm.
He begins by holding the ball with a raised arm in order to lure the goalie to hold his hands in a high position. By doing small hand movements he gets the goalkeeper unsure when the ball is about to be thrown.
The shot will then come as a surprise and the penalty thrower angles the ball down in the gap with his wrist.
If you are facing an offensive goalkeeper, a lob could be very effective. As a shooter it is important that you try to get the Goalkeeper to make the first move.
Make a small body feint or go for a really powerful shot to get the Goalkeeper moving. Once the Goalkeeper has started to move, preferably sideways, it is very difficult for him or her to reach a well balanced lob.
Please note the hand and wrist movement of the shooter…
A variation of the penalty shot is the so called thumb screw, which accompanied with a flick of the wrist, can be very effective and spectacular.
A dummy move will make the goalkeeper cover the wrong corner, enabling the shooter to place the ball close to his standing leg. Please note the flick and twist of the wrist and the effect it has on the trajectory of the ball…
The attack starts with a distinct shot feint from the backcourt player, which forces the defender to step out against him to block the shot.
But instead of shooting, the backcourt player makes a quick sidestep movement and releases the ball to the pivot player, who in the same movement has made a side screening against his defender and created a space for the pass.
A variation, that might frustrate the defender, is when the attacker passes the ball closley over the defenders head. To succeed, you have to trick the defender to lower his hands.
One way of executing it is to feint a low shot, but by using your wrist, play the ball over his head instead.
The pass demands excellent wrist skills and will be a surprising choice of passing the ball, for any defense exposed to it.
To pass the ball on to the Pivot player, is a challenge. The key is to find space for the pass to the Pivot player, as it turns out, there is a lot of space around the defenders legs. Through the attackers quick change of pace and his quick move to the side, he forces the defender to move sideways.
Then, at the most advantageous moment, he plays the ball in the gap that becomes present when the defender moves his legs.
From the Pivot players point of view it is important that he moves along with the movement of his team mate, enabling him to catch the ball, twist around to get round the defender and last, but not least, score a goal.
Please notice the timing of the attacker when he plays the ball between the defenders legs…

In days when the safety brigades and the non-D. Boon/Mike Watt/George Hurley fools who call themselves "Minutemen" have made rocket-powered automotive border crossings obsolete, we must remind ourselves that in the past, there was a different gestalt; that armed with a few million dollars, a stuntman and a Lincoln Continental, one could dream of flying a man over the St. Lawrence River from Ontario to New York in a motor vehicle. And one could actually attempt it.

He's drifting an '80s V8 Capri on the street while smoking. I can't tell if this is the most redneck driver on the roads, or just the most irresponsible.
I have two things to say about this man, street racing a Subaru, mashing the gas on a swapped Mustang motor, and leaning out the window, his cigarette held up by a sneer.
1. I see no difference whatsoever between him and Japan's legendary touge drifters.
2. Take it to the track, asshole.
UPDATE: Sadly, the video has been removed. It was an excellent example of how not to behave behind the wheel, and now it is gone.

Here in the DC area we got about a foot of snow overnight. I'm lucky enough to captain a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T with Quattro, and that car has been eminently reliable in bad weather. So sure-footed, in fact, that I call it "the Puma."
But scraping my undercarriage along the ice-crusted snow underneath was disconcerting, and got me wondering, and hopefully you, too...
A crazed robber puts a gun to your head, clicks the hammer, and in a bourbon-tinged whisper, growls: You have $5,000 to spend on a snow-capable SUV, built in the 1990s. What do you pick, and why?
Perverse hypotheticals not withstanding, my first 3 Autotrader searches would go to:
1. Jeep Cherokee
2. Land Rover Discovery
3. Isuzu Trooper
But that's just me. What about you?

Here's what's up in the world of TV for Sunday, May 27. All times are Eastern.
Game Of Thrones (HBO, 9 p.m.): In an episode that's perhaps airing too close to Memorial Day, all that full-scale battling the Game Of Thrones put off for political maneuvering and sexposition finally arrives at the gates of King's Landing. Prepare for the Battle of the Blackwater, a skirmish that promises flaming arrows, character casualties, and the payoff for all that "war is coming" talk in season-two promos. Todd VanDerWerff and David Sims steel themselves for combat.
The Killing (AMC, 9 p.m.): Brandon Nowalk's been rather kind to the The Killing in recent weeks, which means one of two things:
- The show's righted itself and is actually turning in worthwhile hours of television, or
- Brandon's suffering from a sort of Stockholm Syndrome. (Or is it "Seattle Syndrome"?)
All this (and nothing more) will be revealed in tonight's episode.
Mad Men (AMC, 10 p.m.): For anyone working through the holiday weekend: Don Draper knows what you're going through, thanks to his "Spending every waking hour at work" plan to win the Jaguar account (and avoid Megan). At least that's what Todd VanDerWerff will tell himself as he punches up a Mad Men review with an "America #1!" pennant in one hand and a hot dog in the other. (How does he do it? Just another AMC mystery for you to ponder… )
Veep (HBO, 10 p.m.): Armando Iannucci's political satires typically push the maxim "You can't please everybody"—but in Selina Meyer's world, it's more like "you can't please anybody." Assigned to push healthy eating habits by the POTUS, Selina finds herself dealing with a hostile crowd at Baltimore's Camden Yards—just like Meredith Blake during her 2/3-inning stretch as a middle reliever for the Orioles.
Girls (HBO, 10:30 p.m.): A trip to Bushwick provides Girls with a curious portmanteau: "The Crackcident." Is it an accident involving crack cocaine? Or is it possible that one of the characters unknowingly flashes a bit of their ass crack around the Brooklyn neighborhood? Todd VanDerWerff knows the principals have revealed more embarrassing sides of themselves than the tops of their butts.
Metalocalypse (Cartoon Network, 12:15 a.m.): Tell-all books tend to come out after a band has broken up. However, the members of Dethklok don't play by anyone's rules, let alone the publishing industry's, so Tolki's wasted no time in penning a takedown of Skwisgaar. Phil Dyess-Nugent is collecting numerous humiliating anecdotes for his TV Club tell-all, release date TBD.
Doctor Who (Classic) (11 a.m.): Containing shades of V (and a little bit of Independence Day, eventually), the serial "The Claws Of Axos" finds a seemingly benevolent extraterrestrial force offering the Earth a molecule that can replicate any substance—or so it claims. If Christopher Bahn had control of such a molecule, he'd use it to create a doppelgänger who could file Doctor Who reviews over long weekends.
The Simpsons (Classic) (3 p.m.): Bart falls for the girl next door—voiced by ultra-timely guest Sara "Darlene Conner" Gilbert—before discovering she's going steady with Jimbo Jones. He'll have to wait 20-odd years to exact his revenge, a show of patience which Nathan Rabin applauds.
The Bob Newhart Show (Hallmark Channel, 10 a.m.): [Phone rings.] Hello? Why, yes, we'd love a full day of Bob Newhart Show reruns. We'll have to kick off around 9 p.m. because there's that whole "Battle of the Blackwater" deal on Game Of Thrones. That'll only set us up to miss an hour of droll action in a Chicago psychologist's office? Then count us in!
Extreme Terror Rides (Travel, 6 p.m.): The unofficial beginning of summer means the annual arrival of Travel Channel's glut of roller-coaster documentaries/stealth infomercials for the nation's amusement parks. Put a safe distance between yourself and any device that can search for plane tickets while watching these terrifying wonders of thrill-ride engineering.
Harry's Law (NBC, 9 p.m.): Before David E. Kelley can move on to the Portland hospital he's building with Sanjay Gupta (might we suggest they put a bird on it?) Harry Korn must grieve for her ex-husband and defend a man suspected of killing his wife. With such elegantly and subtly deployed thematic parallels like those, how is it that this show wasn't renewed?
Mermaids: The Body Found (Animal Planet, 9 p.m.): Welp, that title pretty much says it all: Mermaids exist, there's a body to prove it—good work, science, you've done it again! But here's two hours of evidence and theories of a coverup to convert the non-believers in the audience.
Son-In-Law (CMT, 4 p.m.): Assuming its viewers have officially unplugged their brains for three days, Country Music Television presents a Sunday Pauly Shore marathon, beginning with the fish-out-of-water comedy most in line with the network's regular programming. Spending the afternoon basking in the disappointed glower of Lane Smith.
The Empire Strikes Back (Spike, 4:41 p.m.): In a holiday marathon that's less concerned with completism, Spike is showing the "special edition" cuts of the second and third films in the Star Wars series all day without the opening chapter. And it's still the opening chapter because that's how they were released, goddamnit!
Indianapolis 500: The 96th running (ABC, noon): The so-called "greatest spectacle in racing" (take that, 24 Hours of Le Mans) is a Memorial Day-weekend tradition, like yelling at your in-laws about the proper way to light a grill or shotgunning a trio of Pauly Shore movies. Enjoy this most American of rituals before watching cars go around in circles loses its thrill—you know, like around the ninth or 10th lap.
Angel/The Adventures Of Pete And Pete (Friday): A pair of TV Club Classic favorites called it a day this week: Noel Murray went to work on the Angel finale, while Marah Eakin spent an eventful Saturday in Wellsville. But fret not: There's a fresh batch of new favorites waiting for you on the other side of the weekend.

PC-3 cells are pretty easy to culture. We use RPMI-1640 and change medium every 3-4 days.

PC-3 cells are pretty easy to culture. We use RPMI-1640 and change medium every 3-4 days.
Is it normal, that colour of the medium changes so much?
And one more question about sub-culturing: how do you subc-ulture these cells? From 70-80% confluent cells 1:5 or rather 1:10?
Posted 27 January 2009 - 05:27 AM
If the media is changing colour so much you should probably consider performing a media change about half way between passages.
I've done 1:5 splits before.

Tease me, please!
Webster's dictionary defines the word "burlesque" as theatrical entertainment of a broadly humorous often earthy character consisting of short turns, comic skits, and sometimes striptease acts. The term actually dates back to the 16th century when Italian poet Francesco Berni used it in the title of a work called Opere burlesche.
Burlesque shows reached America in 1868 and the popularity continued to rise until Prohibition was put into place and cities began to outlaw the shows. But in recent times, new interest has been generated thanks in most part to Dita Von Teese. Born in West Branch, Mich., Von Teese grew up fascinated by the Golden Age of Cinema, pin-up imagery and vintage lingerie. She began her burlesque career in 1992 and with the help of the corset, and her own fashion and beauty sense, Von Teese can be credited with putting the tease back in striptease.
She has also been featured in Playboy three times and was the performer of choice at events by designers Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton, Chopard and Cartier, and was the first guest star in history at Paris' famed cabaret The Crazy Horse. Von Teese, 38, has authored two books, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese and Dita Stripteese.
The Examiner was granted an exclusive interview with the iconic Von Teese, who will be performing a sold-out show at the House of Blues in Houston on Saturday, July 30. Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray! is a 90-minute variety show and is considered Von Teese's most spectacular to date.
She will perform with her new Swarovski Martini Glass that Von Teese herself describes as her "ultimate, most decadent, and dazzling martini glass ever." This beautiful art-deco style cocktail glass is crystalized from top to bottom and features over 250,000 Swarovski crystals. Fans will also see Von Teese perform as "Rhinestone Cowgirl" dressed in pink Swarovski crystal, twirling sparkling guns and strutting around in custom-made Christian Louboutin cowboy boots complete with spurs. She then climbs aboard the world's most glamorous authentic mechanical bull. Joining her on stage will be MC Murray Hill, along with a who's who of burlesque, including Dirty Martini, Selene Luna, Monsieur Romeo (host of L'Effleur Des Sens), Lada (from The Crazy Horse in Paris) and Medianoche. Leading up to the first show on this tour, how long did it take to put together, including rehearsal time? Well, the shows I am performing are acts that I have been performing for different lengths of time, and even though it's the debut for many of the cities I'm coming to, they are the very best of the acts I've been performing for years. Each of these three acts I'm performing took between two to four years to create, and upwards of $100,000 each to produce, so it been a work in progress to bring them all together in one show. With the expense of creating the music, the props and the costumes, it's not like I make new shows every month ... although I would certainly like to. I have invested over a million dollars in my acts, so it takes some time before I get to make brand new ones, especially because this is the first time I have toured with these shows. If you could perform on stage with any band or musician, who would it be?
I've performed with many big orchestras, and that's definitely the way to go when it comes to burlesque. The most important thing is to have a great bandleader who works in tandem with the burlesque dancer. The best ones would run the music according to what the stripper was doing — start the drum-roll when the gloves comes off, letting up if she stops or slows down. The best burlesque bands followed the performer's every move! And the bigger the brass section, the better!
Do you remember what/when was the first burlesque outfit you put on, and your thoughts when you saw yourself in the mirror?
It wasn't really like that. I started by making outfits to dance in back in 1990, and this was before the big burlesque revival. Back then, I was just a stripper who liked dressing vintage, so it wasn't an "ah ha" moment. The only real moment like that that I recall was my discovery of red lipstick in the '80s. I suddenly felt glamorous, and that sparked my interest in the creation of beauty, since I felt like a very ordinary blonde girl. From there, I set my sights on giving myself a classic Hollywood makeover. Twenty years later, this show is the result.
If you could go back in time, whom would you most like to seduce?
What if I prefer to be seduced? I would have liked to be seduced by Valentino. What's the best piece of advice someone has given you?
Not to compromise my ideals for the sake of being popular or commercialized.
Who has been your biggest influence, both classic and modern?
My classic influence is Gypsy Rose Lee because she managed to be a household name as a stripper in the 1930s and managed to have a lifelong career that evolved with her age. She had female fans that admired her for being both a glamorous sex symbol and an independent single mother at the same time in an era where that was not the norm. Modernly speaking, I admire self-created women who dare to be different and have distinctive personal style. I love women like Carmen Dell'Orefice, who is absolute elegance, a perfect example of timeless beauty and sensuality that does not rely on youth or clichés of what beauty is. I also love Anna Piaggi, and the late Isabella Blow.
How do you relax before a show? Any pre-show music or ritual?
Well, I try to sleep in, which is not the norm for me, since usually I like to go to bed early and wake up early, so I have to try to switch to showgirl time when I'm performing. Other than that, I have specific times I need to eat my meals so I can corset down and feel physically good onstage in the heavy costumes. I arrive backstage a couple hours before the show so I can enjoy the ritual of doing my makeup and hair. I have a pre-show music list that has nothing to do with retro music, because by then, I've been hearing my show music so often, I can't bear it anymore; I need something that is the opposite of it. My playlist is an eclectic blend of electronic music, '80s and rap. We have all kinds of sing-a-longs in my dressing room before the show. Everyone that works backstage with me has to know both parts of "The Girl is Mine" so they can duet with me.
What's next after the tour?
I'm going to visit a friend for a few days in the country, and then I'm back to work, shooting my new lingerie collection and my dress collection. The past few years, I've been taking the entire month of August like the Europeans do, but this year I've decided to stay in LA and work. I'm really excited about work right now; there's a lot to do.

AMERICUS - Georgia Southwestern pitcher Matthew Suggs has done just about all he can to put the Hurricanes in a position to win during the past month, but unfortunately the Leesburg native has had a run of bad luck.
For the third time in four starts, Suggs has exited with GSW ahead in the latter innings only to watch opponents rally for a victory. The latest gut-wrenching defeat came Saturday afternoon as Suggs' day ended after eight innings with the Hurricanes on top of 19th-ranked Georgia College, 6-5. The visiting Bobcats scored a run in the ninth and pushed across two more in the 10th to take Game 1 of the three-game weekend Peach Belt Conference series, 8-6.
It should be noted that in the one game in his last four starts where Suggs did not have an opponent snatch a "W" away, he tossed a complete game for the win. That was at Francis Marion on March 1.
On Saturday, GSW batters spotted Suggs a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Dylan Griffin and Les Cromer collected run-scoring singles.
Georgia College tied the game in the top of the third, only to have GSW answer with three runs in the bottom of the frame. Jarrod Taylor had a RBI double and Zach Moss drove in a run.
The Bobcats closed the gap to 5-4 in the fourth inning and tied the game in the fifth when Taylor Hinshaw was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and no outs.
That's when Suggs turned on the afterburners.
Suggs struck out the next three batters to escape with minimal damage and followed by striking out the side in the sixth. After allowing a single to open the seventh inning, Suggs struck out his seventh batter in eight opportunities.
GSW missed on a chance to regain the lead in the home half of the seventh by leaving the bases loaded.
Not quite done, Suggs picked up two of the three outs in his final inning, the eighth, by strikeout.
Suggs final stat line shows eight innings pitched, two walks and nine Ks. Georgia College did get to Suggs early in the game as he allowed 12 hits overall and five runs.
Zac Whittmus pitched the ninth for GSW and Zach Smith (0-2) suffered the loss in the 10th.
Georgia College brought three pitchers to the hill on Saturday as well. Starter Spencer Thomas threw three innings, allowed five runs - four earned - and eight hits. He struck out two and walked one. Josh Pape held the Hurricanes to one run over his three innings and Jordan Modine (2-0) threw four scoreless frames.
Les Cromer went 3-for-4 from the plate to lead GSW. He had a double and a RBI. Taylor, Moss and Evan Alderman picked up two hits apiece.
Clay Ardeeser led Bobcat batters with a 5-for-6 performance that included two RBIs and a stolen base. Daniel Bick added three hits and a pair of stolen bases and Mike McGraw, Brandon Benson and Ryan Sabalaskey had two hits apiece.
GSW and Georgia College meet at 1 p.m. on Sunday for a doubleheader that will wrap up the weekend series.

Are you searching for the best web design company to help design your business web site? You will firstly have to consider your budget and the quality of service that you are looking for. One way to do this is to browse through the internet to check out a number of companies and narrow down your selection to the most suitable one. To make it easier for you, read on to find out the basic guidelines to follow in choosing the best web design company.
Relevant experience of the company is the first important aspect that you must consider. For instance, if your business web site is focused on fashion, you would do well in choosing a company that has specific fashion-related design in their portfolio. To make sure that the company is serious about the business, a formal contract is a sign that it is able to deliver to you as promised.
Get a perspective on the type of web site design you are aiming for. There are many types of designs which include e-commerce, database, Flash, static HTML and one designed with self- content management structure. A company who is familiar with the standard HTML design may not be the best choice if you are looking to have a complete Flash look for your site.
Take into consideration of the cost of update packages. Once a web site has been designed and completed, there are periodic updates which are done by the company. You should find out about the prices of updates after the standard design has been made. This can help you prepare financially.
Get a web design company that reflects your own taste. If you are all into neat and bright colors, choosing a company which is all about Flash is a bad idea. Make sure the company sets realistic goals to be accomplished within the deadline and deliver them in time.
By following these simple guidelines, you are on the right path to choose a company that will offer you satisfying results for your business web page.

The ninth season of "American Idol," the final of the series' star judge Simon Cowell, debuted last night on FOX to boffo ratings, although it was not as high as recent seasons' past.
The show opened its first half hour of its Boston auditions with Victoria Beckham serving as a guest judge for the departed Paula Abdul with 26 million viewers (a 9.8 / 26 share) and grew through the 9 PM half-hour. By 8:30 PM the show hit 30 million views (11.8 / 29), and it peaked at 9 PM with 32 million viewers (12.8 / 31). It dipped slightly again at 9:30 PM with 31 million viewers (12.6 / 30).
The 29.7 million opening night ratings average was the show's lowest since Season 3 (see season premiere ratings numbers, below).
But "Idol" wasn't the night's only ratings winner for the night. Over on CBS, "NCIS" brought in 21 million viewers at 8 PM, while "NCIS: LA" brought in almost 16 million.
For two more weeks, fans will be treated to the hilarious and popular pre-taped audition rounds, before new judge Ellen DeGeneres assumes her position as Paula's permanent replacement during Hollywood Week, which is pre-taping this week at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
It was clear from the beginning that the focus this season would be more on the contestants, and the show prepares for its most major upheaval ever; the departure of Simon. The show presented its usual buffet of semi-talented hopefuls, atrocious train-wreck disasters, and heartwarming stories of contestants who have overcome adversity.
Successful standouts included through-and-through Italian Amadeo Diricco (Kara called him her "fellow Paisano"), Jordin Sparks-clone Ashley Rodriguez, and Mika look-a-like Tyler Grady (who performed with two broken wrists!).
Standout tragedies included Pat Ford and his cover of Britney Spears' "Womanizer" (WATCH CLIP HERE), Andrew Fenlon's war of words with Kara (although his "House of the Rising Sun" wasn't actually too tragic!), and the unforgettable Norberto Guerrero (WATCH HERE), to whom Simon said, "You sing like a 3-year-old girl, you dress like La Toya Jackson, and you've got a beard.")
The show continues for its second night tonight in Atlanta, for a one-hour show with guest host Mary J. Blige.
Season 1 6/11/02: 9.9 Million
Season 2 1/21/03: 26.5 Million

Bill Pennington has a story in tomorrow's New York Times about resilient Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine and the dark interim he spent between his retirement from pro ball and his time coaching.
There's a chunk of the story that focuses on Valentine's sports bar, Bobby V's in Stamford, Conn. Pennington rules, essentially, that Bobby V's was the first sports bar in America, one of Valentine's characteristically unsupported boasts. (He also claimed he created the wrap sandwich.) But there was this funny bit:
Exhibiting the kind of chutzpah familiar to Valentine's managerial style decades later, he found remedies in uncommon methods and defied authority. He did not don a fake mustache before he did it, but at 4 a.m. one day, when the drug dealers and prostitutes had left the park across the street, Valentine strolled over with a hacksaw.
"I cut down all the wooden park benches," Valentine said. "I just left them in pieces on the ground. With nowhere to sit, it got harder to hang around. I didn't eradicate the problem, but it moved elsewhere."
Well, almost. Late on another night, Valentine left to get in his car and was accosted by a couple of prostitutes. He ended up chasing them down the street until the police arrived and arrested him.
"I spent a night in jail," Valentine said. "They told me I could have one phone call. I called the mayor and he came and hustled me out of the back door."
There is nothing Bobby Valentine can't do. Or maybe there's nothing he hasn't done. Either way, we're terribly delighted to see what he'll do in charge of that chicken-and-beer-downing crash site up north.

    Governor Phil Murphy • Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver
|NJ Home | Services A to Z | Departments/Agencies | FAQs
By an act signed into law in 1911 by then Governor Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the Board's jurisdiction as well as its duties and obligations were further expanded to give the Board the widest range of regulatory power over public utilities and their property rights, equipment, facilities and franchises. Those provisions have remained the core of the Board's regulatory function to this day.
The mission of the Board, now known as the Board of Public Utilities and placed in but not of the Department of the Treasury, has been and continues to be to fairly and reasonably balance the interests of utility customers and utility shareholders; that is, to ensure the provision of safe, adequate and proper utility service and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of New Jersey while providing utility shareholders with an opportunity to realize a fair return on their investment.
In addition to its basic mission, the Board has been proactive in its efforts to protect the citizens of this State through a variety of programs that have placed New Jersey in the national forefront in the effort to expand the conservation of energy as well as the use of renewable energy technologies, and has responded quickly to assist in the fostering of cogeneration under the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, the implementation of energy competition as contemplated in the State's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act and the establishment of a sound program to implement the State's Underground Facility Protection Act and the Gas Safety Act to reduce the possibilities of major incidents occurring in New Jersey.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Free Shipping available on most orders $49.00 & up.
Thus, I purchased this product. I plugged both sticks into the computer and was greatly relieved when the familiar Mac chime sounded upon start-up.
I opened up a chat on a Sunday. The MacSales representative was very helpful in taking my information, but (as I expected) there was no one that could help with tracking the shipment on the weekend. However, a MacSales representative contacted me on Monday, as promised.
After exchanging information about the USPS tracking system feedback, MacSales promptly shipped replacement memory cards. This time, by UPS.
Great service and communication all the way around. By the way, the memory cards are exactly as ordered and are working great.

White House: U.S. can stop a North Korean nuke strike
WASHINGTON — The White House said Thursday that the United States is fully capable of defending against a North Korean ballistic missile strike.
Earlier Thursday, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously for new sanctions against North Korea, which carried out a third nuclear test Feb. 12. Pyongyang threatened a nuclear strike against the United States.
"The United States is fully capable of defending against any North Korean ballistic missile attack," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
North Korea is prepared to "exercise the right to a pre-emptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors," and Washington is "set to light a fuse for a nuclear war," according to a statement from a Foreign Ministry spokesman carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
Carney said the rogue regime "will achieve nothing by threats or provocations."
Friday, Pyongyang announced that it was canceling a hotline and a nonaggression pact with South Korea.
Shortly after Kim Jong Un was elevated to succeed his father as ruler of North Korea, U.S. negotiators reached an understanding with Pyongyang that was announced Feb. 12, 2012.
The North Koreans agreed to suspend their uranium enrichment program and allow U.N. inspectors back in the country, moves that gave the United States and other allies a sliver of hope that six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program could be revived.
Sixteen days after the deal was reached, North Korea announced it would launch a satellite attached to a rocket into space, compelling condemnation from the Obama administration and international community. The launch was carried out April 13, 2012, and the North Koreans carried out a subsequent long-range missile launch Dec. 12, 2012.
The situation reached a new low last month when North Korea conducted it's latest nuclear activity.
"Pyongyang's Feb. 12 announcement of a third nuclear test ... and its subsequent threats to conduct even more follow-on measures are only the latest in a long line of reminders that [North Korea's] nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and proliferation activities pose serious threats to U.S. national security, to regional security in the Asia-Pacific and to the global non-proliferation regime," Glyn Davies, the State Department's special representative for North Korea policy, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday.

Cindy Adams
Who: Faded gossip empress Cindy Adams has been grinding out her column for the Post since 1981, although she hasn't published anything resembling real gossip in approximately as long.
Backstory: Before she turned to the typewriter (or quill feather pen), Adams was best known as the wife of Borscht Belt comedian Joey Adams. Determined not to be a housewife, she started contributing to local publications like the Long Island Press in the early 1960s, and in 1965 she published her first book, a biography of the notoriously nutty president of Indonesia, Sukarno. She followed up a decade later with another biography, this time of Jolie Gabor, Zsa Zsa's mom.
In 1979, Adams started contributing to the Post and her gossip column—the one she writes to this day—came two years later. Like her former Post counterpart Liz Smith (whose column was axed in 2009), Adams is several decades past her prime, but she continues to grind out her column (or her able assistants do, at least). When she isn't tending to her dogs or making nice with fellow plastic surgery victims at society functions, Adams occasionally pops up morning shows. Demand for her services on the small screen seems to be on the wane, however: Her regular segment on WNBC's Live at Five was canceled in 2007.
In print: The passing of her husband in 1999 prompted Adams to adopt a Yorkie, Jazzy, and in 2003 she published The Gift of Jazzy, which was dedicated to her new best friend, whom she implied might be the reincarnation of her late husband. Jazzy enjoyed quite a lifestyle—he dined on chicken from Le Cirque which Adams fed him by hand, sipped on Evian water, and went on play dates with the four-legged friends of Judge Judy, Bette Midler, and Joan Rivers. Until, that is, Jazzy contracted a disease at a luxurious kennel and died. Dogs are easier to replace than husbands, however, and Adams soon adopted two new puppies, Jazzy Junior and Juicy. Naturally, new dogs meant a new Yorkie-themed book. In 2006, Adams published Living a Dog's Life: Jazzy, Juicy, and Me.
Personal: Cindy was married to Joey Adams for 40 years until his death in 1999. Home is a 10-room, 4,200-square-foot Park Avenue penthouse furnished with Ming dynasty furniture that she had shipped from Asia.
No joke: Wondering what stale gossip smells like? Adams released a perfume called Gossip in 1997. It can still be found online for about ten bucks a bottle.

Handy Tips
Managing your finances
•Make a monthly budget and try to stick to it
•If you overspend on something, don't lie to yourself. Try to recover by spending less on other things
•Don't be afraid to ask for advice. There are advice services at the University and your Village Team can help to
•Please avoid taking out loans, as many have high interest rates and you will only increase the amount you need to pay back
•Find a part-time job. Many offer flexible hours that you can fit between lectures and seminars.
•Pay rent and bills (mobile phone, TV license) on time. Delaying these bills may result in you getting into debt
Saving money
•Go for one big supermarket shop a week rather than getting bits and pieces from expensive corner shops
•Never go grocery shopping when you're hungry
•Go shopping in places where they offer student discounts. You can save a lot by showing your student ID
•Cook with your flat mates whenever you can. Often you'll be cooking too much for one person and this way you can split the cost of groceries. Plus, it's a fantastic way of socialising with your roomies
•When you go out, take a limited amount of cash with you and leave your card at home. This will stop you from overspending
•If you like shopping at a particular chain, try to get a job there! Many offer significant discounts for employees
•If you really need to buy books, look for older or electronic editions
•Find fun things to do for free. We've got lots of activities in the Village for you to enjoy through our Residential Life programme. Check out what's going on in your Village by visiting www.facebook.com/pg/murdochuniversityvillage/events/

The citizens of Earth have had almost 20 years of peace since their planet was rudely invaded by aliens on July 4th, 1996, but recently, there has been talk from director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin that the victory might not last much longer. Two sequels to Independence Day are currently in the works and awaiting a green light from 20th Century Fox. It may well be that the studio is keeping a close eye on the success of Emmerich's most recent project, White House Down, before giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to Indendence Day 2 and 3, A.K.A. ID Forever Part I and II.
It seems that Emmerich himself is confident enough to start divulging details, or at least savvy enough to start generating hype for the Independence Day sequels by releasing a few intriguing snippets of information.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Emmerich has happily provided solid answers to some of the biggest questions that fans of the original film have had. One of the biggest uncertainties regarding the plot is whether the story would pick up immediately after the events of the first film or twenty years later. According to Emmerich, the answer is is both:
"The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back. And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that's 20 or 25 years."
The Independence Day sequels being set only twenty years after the events of the first film will mean that by the time they (potentially) gets a theatrical release they will more or less be set in the present day, but Emmerich claims that the films will also have a distinctly futuristic feel. Based on a "what if...?" scenario of what might have happened to our history if we'd discovered advanced technology back in the nineties, the story will see humanity far more prepared for an invasion than they were in the original film. Says Emmerich:
"It's a changed world. It's like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don't know how to duplicate it because it's organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an antigravity device and put it in a human airplane."
Despite the progress that has been made, Emmerich insists that the fight won't be an easy one, saying that, "We've rebuilt. But [the aliens] also do different things." If only two or three weeks have passed from the aliens' perspective, it's doubtful that they've had time to come up with any new major advances themselves, which can only mean that they weren't bringing out the big guns the first time around. Perhaps the first Independence Day was just a warm-up.
When we first heard rumors about this project several years ago, the impression we got from Fox was that they did not consider Will Smith's return to be necessary for the film, perhaps due to the large price tag that inevitably comes with hiring such a consistently successful star. It's unclear whether this was a factor or not, but Emmerich implies that he has written a story which will allow new stars to shine by focusing on characters who would have been children during the first invasion.
"It's still some of the same characters, but also new younger characters; it's a little bit like the sons take over. The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope. And then in the second one they free themselves again [from the aliens]."
The word "new" seems to imply that the younger heroes will be characters that we haven't seen before, but there are a couple of candidates from Independence Day who could easily make a return as adults. The two prominent child characters from the 1996 movie were Patricia Whitmore (Mae Whitman), the daughter of the president, and Captain Steven Hiller's stepson Dylan, played by Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel Air co-star, Ross Bagley.
Though Bagley has more or less lapsed from the acting world and is mostly remembered for his child star roles in films like Little Rascals, Emmerich confirmed that Dylan makes a return in the latest version of the script. Mae Whitman is still very active and recently appeared in Arrested Development (her?), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Parenthood. Might there be room in Emmerich's customary cast-of-thousands for this familiar face to play the part of a heroine?
To quote Bill Pullman, who recently confirmed his involvement in the project: "Nobody's holding their breath because [the sequels have] been continually plagued." So don't assume that the movie is definitely going to make it out of development hell at this point. Dean Devlin has said that he and Emmerich are not interested in making the sequels just to squeeze a little bit of money out of the Independence Day name; rather, they just have a genuine, creative interest in continuing the story. Whether or not you agree with that no doubt depends on your opinion of the original. It should be noted that Emmerich has yet to make a film as successful as his 1996 blockbuster, at least financially-speaking (The Patriot has a slightly better Rotten Tomatoes score), which might explain Fox's trepidation.
Are you excited for ID Forever Part I & II and, if so, who would you like to see return for the second invasion (aside from the aliens, of course)? Let us know what you think in the comments.
We'll keep you up to date on any further developments regarding Independence Day 2 & 3.
