Sofia Coppola is a filmmaker whose work I've appreciated from a distance. I know she's a great director, but apart from Marie Antoinette, her stories of rich white people and their troubles has held little interest for me. But as a fan of the gothic, horror, and period film, The Beguiledcertainly would seem to fit in my wheelhouse of film love. And while not without some problems of gender representation, the film is a gorgeous and campy romp, disguising itself as a period piece with just the right touch of horror. Three years into the US Civil War in the Virginia countryside, Martha Farnsworth (Nicole Kidman) maintains what little normalcy she can at her school, with her five young charges and teacher Edwina Dabney (Kirsten Dunst). When collecting mushrooms in the nearby woods, one of the girls finds an injured Union soldier, John (Colin Farrell), and her sense of Christian charity leads her to bring him to the house. It seems it's been a while since there was a man in the house, and Martha, Edwina, Alicia (Elle Fanning) and the others are quite intriguied by the visitor, enough to shield him from the Confederate soldiers nearby and allow him … Continue reading →

Recently, more than 100 high school students from Aloha High School and Faith Bible High School toured the gross anatomy labs on Pacific Universitys Hillsboro Campus as a capstone experience for their year-long anatomy class. Students and chaperones alike communicated their gratitude at the opportunity to learn from the human cadavers, with many students expressing their surprise at how different the muscles and organs of the body look in real life as compared to the images in textbooks. This event would not have been possible without the volunteer work of twelve first-year physical therapy students (pictured below) and the generous educational gift provided by our body donors.

Those who tuned into Grey's Anatomy when it first aired in 2005 may remember the constant shenanigans of its junior doctors, which became a hallmark of the popular show. But after 12 seasons, those surgical interns have grown up, so do not expect them to be too preoccupied with getting frisky in a supplies closet. Star Jesse Williams, who has played plastic surgeon Jackson Avery on the show since 2009, says: "You've seen a lot of characters go through 13 years of growth and they're not kids anymore." This is why the new season, which debuts in Singapore on Friday at 9pm (Star World, Singtel TV Channel 301 and StarHub TV Channel 501), will tackle more grown-up problems such as "what is it like to be an adult with a marriage or divorce and kids who are growing up". "They're not 20something interns making out in the closet. This year, we've really embraced the evolution of the characters," the actor tells reporters in Los Angeles earlier this year. Williams, 35, confirms that this will also be true of Jackson and his ex-wife and colleague April Kepner, played by Sarah Drew, who joined the cast in 2009 too. "We are getting … Continue reading →

By David Kohn, The Washington Post Kari Alitalo had studied lymphatic vessels for more than two decades. So he knew that this network, which carries immune cells throughout the body and removes waste and toxins, didnt extend into the brain: This had been accepted wisdom for more than 300 years. Nobody questioned that it stopped at the brain, says Alitalo, a scientist at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Three years ago, Alitalo wanted to develop a more precise map of the lymphatic system. To do this, he used genetically modified mice whose lymphatic vessels glowed when illuminated by a particular wavelength of light. (The mice had been given a gene from a species of glowing jellyfish.) When viewing the modified mice under the light, Aleksanteri Aspelund, a medical student in Alitalos laboratory, saw something unexpected: The heads of the mice glowed. At first, he suspected that there was something wrong with the animals, the lighting or the measuring equipment. But when Alitalo and Aspelund repeated the experiment, they got the same result. It seemed that the lymphatic vessels extended to the brain after all. This was surprising, to say the least: In the 21st century, major findings involving basic … Continue reading →

MAY 22, 2017 TO BEGIN WITH the obvious question: Does the world need a more or less 800-page book on food phobias? Beats me. But the answer is in any case moot because, despite his subtitle, Alexander Theroux has written something rather different, more interesting and grander than that. A phobia is generally considered (Im quoting Merriam-Webster here) an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation, and certainly Theroux writes about those who suffer from (and lets face it, sometimes celebrate) this condition, though he also tries to explain the inexplicable. Moreover he demonstrates that the distinctions between phobia, dislike, simple preference, aversion, obsession, and mere squeamishness are inevitably blurred. Hes concerned with food fetishes, fixations, fashions, food snobbery, and inverted snobbery, with food as a marker of class, status, and self-definition. He presents a parade of faddists, would-be revolutionaries, nutritional autocrats, cranks, and a few well-meaning folk with dubious ideas. Inevitably the book contains a good deal of what we might call food trivia, although Im sure the author would rightly insist that these matters are anything but trivial. This is a serious book. But that doesnt mean we cant have … Continue reading →

James Snook-USA TODAY Sports Will a trade happen? Maybe. Is there a trade rumor? No. Well, yes. Now. May 22 2017 11:15 am Despite the rampant speculation over the weekend, the Sixers have shown little to no indication they are in the process of trading up to No. 1 in the NBA Draft to select Washington point guard Markelle Fultz. At least not yet. The Sixers have a ton of valuable trade pieces both in picks and players so for the next month every basketball pundit and fan and talk show host worth a damn is going to spend more time on this potential trade than the Sixers and Celtics probably will. (That includes us.) This isnt about a trade as much as its about how one sports guy speculating about a trade on his popular podcast can turn into a full-fledged rumor. Lets be clear: This is not a rumor. A rumor is something overheard (or leaked) by one of the teams involved (or one the agent of a player that could be involved in a deal) that is spread through unnamed reports, off-the-record verifications and good ol fashioned sleuthing. Bill Simmons saying the Sixers should trade up for … Continue reading →

Lets state the obvious: Food specials and happy hours are a great deal for diners, but what about the restaurateurs? Do discount nights actually do anything for their bottom line? According to a few food fixtures in town, the answer is yes, but you need to play the long game. Normally, there isnt a ton of sales volume from 5 to 6, says Jay Bayer, co-owner of Saison. The Jackson Ward restaurant offers $2 off drafts, cocktails and small plates from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. If you can generate any sort of revenue that didnt already exist through discounted pricing, it gets people in the door, and hopefully they can stay a little longer to buy some more food. Kendra Feather adopted a date-night strategy at Garnetts Cafe in The Fan to gain traction. Garnetts is so tiny, it has always been a bit of a secret squirrel. And it took years for it to break even because so many people just blinked and missed it, she says. So the main reason we started doing Date Night was to attract customers in the evenings. Often, discounted food and drink cuts into businesses overhead, with several restaurant workers … Continue reading →

Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from Columbus Crew SCs previous match. For match 13 of the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Ola Kamaras 20th minute half volley that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of the 2-1 loss to the New England Revolution on Sunday. Here is a look at the finish from the Crew SC striker. The Black & Gold had a fast start to Sundays match against New England, using a high press to disrupt the Revolution and getting the fullbacks involved in the attack. On defense, Columbus employed the typically rigid banks of four, as you can just see breaking up in the image below. On first glance, Olas goal looks like the result of two moments of brilliance: an incredible pass by midfielder Wil Trapp and an incredible strike by the Crew SC striker. However, this goal provides us with an opportunity to dissect how the Black & Gold can successfully pass out of a high press. In the image above, and the next few images, I have placed a triangle around the three Crew SC players involved in passing … Continue reading →
