Follow-up to 2011's When the Sun Goes Down 'going to be the biggest one for me personally,' singer says.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a> is readying work on her brand-new music. She recently shared she wanted to work with a whole bevy of artists ranging from <a href="/news/articles/1687055/selena-gomez-fun-taylor-swift-new-album.jhtml">New York rockers Fun. to Nashville princess Taylor Swift</a>, but don't expect her to get another world-famous pop star on the album.</P><P>And, don't even expect her to sing about him, either. "It's not going to be necessarily, 'Here's my tell-all,' " Gomez explained to <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/selena_gomez_guess_what_shes_doing_again/325968" target="_blank">E! News</a> about the possibility of her getting personal about her relationship with Justin Bieber on the record. "It's going to be more of something that people could say, 'It could be that or it could be this or it could be that.' At the end of the day, I only make my music because I want it [to] be really fun, and if I could have people dance to it, relate to it, have a good time, that's all I want."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Selena Gomez Wants To Collaborate With Fun.

She's met with the likes of Toby Gad and Rock Mafia. "I think this is going to be the biggest one for me personally. I want to be able to write about things I've never talked about before and tell a story with this album, because I've never actually had time to go in and do that," she said. "I've never worked on a song for more than two days."</P><P>In an interview with MTV News, Gomez shared that she wanted to get into the studio by year's end and confirmed she hoped to try out a whole new set of sounds on it. "Very different! I want to go for producers that probably wouldn't want me to do their songs," she said. "I just want to knock on their door. I also want to work with Fun. I want to work with just different styles of music."</P><P>Gomez has yet to announce a release date, but the album is expected to drop in 2013.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Why Selena Gomez Enlisted Fans To Help Create Her Fragrance" id="vid:767891" width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Congressional Democrats and Republicans scrambled for election-year gain from the Supreme Court's ruling Monday that threw out key provisions of Arizona's immigration law but upheld one that requires police to check the status of people who might appear to be in the U.S. illegally.
Democrats said the ruling risks encouraging racial profiling, while Republicans said it strengthens the right of states to make and enforce their own immigration policies. In hot pursuit of Hispanic voters this presidential and congressional election year, members of both parties said the elected branches of the federal government need to overcome deep divisions and enact long-term laws affecting the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.
The court unanimously upheld the "show me your papers" requirement of the state's law. But even there, the justices said the provision could be subject to additional legal challenges, and they blunted somewhat its effectiveness by prohibiting officers from arresting people on immigration charges.
The court struck down three major provisions of the Arizona law, including one requirement for all immigrants to obtain or carry registration papers, another making it a state criminal offense for an illegal immigrant to seek work or hold a job and a third allowing police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without warrants.
Democrats said the decision shows President Barack Obama was right to challenge the law's constitutionality and praised him for deferring the deportation of some young illegal immigrants. But they also said the decisions could encourage discrimination.
"I am greatly concerned that the provision putting American citizens in danger of being detained by police unless they carry their immigration papers at all times will lead to a system of racial profiling," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from swing-state Nevada.
Republicans, meanwhile, chastised Obama for his executive order and said the court appeared to validate some of the controversial law.
"The Arizona law was born out of the state's frustration with the burdens that illegal immigration and continued drug smuggling impose on its schools, hospitals, criminal justice system and fragile desert environment, " Arizona Republican Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl said in a joint statement.
"And," they added, "an administration that chooses to set enforcement policies based on a political agenda, not the laws as written by Congress."
The chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus left open the prospect of taking Arizona to court again over the remaining "show me your papers" provision.
"When three out of four provisions of a state's law are struck down, it obviously can't be viewed as a victory for the state," said Rep. Charles Gonzales, D-Texas. "We will be watching very closely how Arizona exercises this part of the law."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jim Thome knows the routine. Hit a game-ending homer, circle the bases, get mobbed by teammates.
It never gets old.
Thome hit a pinch home run leading off the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 on Saturday after Jonathan Papelbon blew his first save in 18 chances this season.
Thome connected off Jake McGee (2-2) for home run No. 609, tying Sammy Sosa for seventh place on baseball's career list. It was the 13th time he did it to end a game.
"You never forget them," Thome said. "These are moments you never know how long you'll have them."
Juan Pierre and Jimmy Rollins also homered for the Phillies, helping manager Charlie Manuel earn his 900th career win.
"To do that for him, it was special for sure," said Thome, who is very close to Manuel.
In the first meeting at Citizens Bank Park between this teams since Philadelphia won the 2008 World Series, the Phillies rallied from a 3-0 deficit against James Shields with homers from their Nos. 1-2 hitters. But Papelbon couldn't hold the lead.
Thome then came through to lead the five-time defending NL East champions out of last place for the first time since May 4. He hit a high drive to left field, jogged around the bases to a rousing ovation and got a cream pie in the face from Shane Victorino afterward on the field.
"That felt great," Thome said. "They put whipped cream instead of shaving cream so that was nice."
Tampa Bay's Jeff Keppinger was 5 for 5 with three RBIs in his first game after he missed 29 because of a broken toe.
Papelbon (2-2) allowed his first earned runs in a save situation this season. He walked Jose Lobaton with two outs to extend the game. Keppinger followed with an RBI single. Then, Brooks Conrad ripped a run-scoring single to right to tie it. Conrad was 3 for 41 before that hit.
"I've got to do a better job," Papelbon said.
Papelbon said he told Thome in the on-deck circle that he would give him $5,000 if he hit a homer. Papelbon said he wrote the check in the clubhouse.
"That was a huge pickup by Jim Thome," Papelbon said. "I couldn't be happier for anybody in the clubhouse."
Shields, who beat the Phillies in Game 2 of the `08 Series for Tampa Bay's only win, allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings. Since starting 5-0, Shields is 2-4 with a 4.69 ERA.
Tampa Bay has lost three straight.
"Tip your hat to Thome. He hit a 96 mph fastball off a left-hander and they beat us," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
The 41-year-old Thome was 0 for 12 as a pinch-hitter before his at-bat. He batted .333 with four homers and 14 RBIs in nine games as a designated hitter during interleague play earlier this month.
Shields fanned the first two batters in the fourth before getting in trouble. Pinch-hitter Mike Fontenot and Rollins hit consecutive singles. That brought up Pierre, who hadn't gone deep in 366 at-bats, dating to Aug. 16 with the Chicago White Sox. Pierre lined career homer No. 17 over the right-field fence, and strutted down the line with a finger pointed in the air.
Pierre reached on a two-base error, hustling his way to second base in the seventh. Carlos Ruiz looped an RBI single to right off Brandon Gomes to make it 6-3.
The Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth against Antonio Bastardo, but only got one run on an RBI single by Sean Rodriguez.
Kendrick got Philadelphia started in the third with a leadoff walk. Rollins followed with a drive that hooked inside the right-field foul line to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Phillies had runners on first and third with one out, but couldn't push across the tying run. Ty Wigginton struck out and Placido Polanco flied out.
Kendrick allowed three runs and six hits in four innings, striking out six. He is 1-3 with a 7.36 ERA in five starts since shutting out St. Louis on May 26.
Kendrick retired the first four batters before unraveling with one out in the second. He allowed a single to Ben Zobrist and walked Lobaton. Keppinger followed with a two-run double down the left-field line. He advanced to third on a throwing error by second baseman Michael Martinez and scored on Shields' groundout for a 3-0 Rays lead.
Notes: Pierre was 2 for 4 with three RBIs, two runs and two stolen bases. He also made a sliding catch in left field. ... Phillies RHP Mike Stutes will have arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Tuesday. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the operation. ... Rays RHP Todd Farnsworth (right elbow strain) is scheduled to make his first back-to-back rehab appearances on Sunday and Monday. ... Shields struck out seven. ... Ruiz was hit by a pitch for the major league-leading 12th time. ... The Phillies had their 255th straight sellout, including postseason play. ... The Phillies will send Cole Hamels (10-3, 3.25) and Cliff Lee (0-3, 3.48) to the mound in their day/night doubleheader Sunday. David Price (9-4, 3.08) will pitch the first game for Tampa Bay. The Game 2 starter is undecided.

ScienceDaily (June 23, 2012) ? You can freeze it, thaw it, vacuum dry it and expose it to radiation, but still life survives. ESA's research on the International Space Station is giving credibility to theories that life came from outer space -- as well as helping to create better sunscreens.
In 2008 scientists sent the suitcase-sized Expose-E experiment package to the Space Station filled with organic compounds and living organisms to test their reaction to outer space.
When astronauts venture on a spacewalk, hours are spent preparing protective suits to survive the hostile conditions. No effort was made to protect the bacteria, seeds, lichen and algae attached to the outside of the Space Station, however.
"We are exploring the limits of life," explains ESA's Ren? Demets.
Our atmosphere does a wonderful job of protecting life on Earth by absorbing harmful UV rays and keeping temperatures relatively stable.
In contrast, the space samples endured the full power of the Sun's rays. The samples were insulated somewhat by the Space Station but still had to cope with temperatures changing from -12?C to +40?C over 200 times as they orbited Earth.
The samples returned to Earth in 2009 and the results have now been published in a special issue of the journal Astrobiology.
Lichen have proven to be tough cookies -- back on Earth, some species continue to grow normally.
Ren? explains, "These organisms go into a dormant state waiting for better conditions to arrive."
The lichen have attracted interest from cosmetic companies. They can survive the full power of the Sun for 18 months, so knowing more could lead to new ingredients for sunscreen.
Living organisms surviving in open space supports the idea of 'panspermia' -- life spreading from one planet to another, or even between solar systems.
It seems possible that organisms could colonize planets by hitching rides on asteroids. ESA is probing this intriguing theory further on future Station missions with different samples.

Always hire an inspector to look at any property that you want to purchase. You don?t want a home that needs major revisions. In addition to wasting your money, you might even have to rent a place to live while your newly bought house gets worked on.
It can be well worth your while to purchase a home warranty. Anytime you purchase a new or older home, ask the builder or previous owner for a warranty. Builders should be willing to warranty their home products for a certain time period. For older homes, you can ask the previous owner to give you a warranty to cover any repairs that may come up.
If you want to purchase a foreclosed home, be aware that it will most likely need repairs. Homes that have been foreclosed are often unoccupied for a while before they are sold, so necessary repairs and maintenance may have been neglected. For example, you may need to install a new HVAC system. The home may also have termites or other pests as well as damage to the walls or floors.
Individuals with families, either existing or planned for the future, should shop for homes with enough square footage to handle an entire family. Think about safety too. A swimming pool or stairs present a major risk for small children. A house in which children have been raised is probably a safe house.
Lots with a view can come with a high price tag attached. Think carefully before you pay that premium. You may feel that the view is worthy of the extra amount, but others may not agree when it is time to resell. Therefore, do not over pay for a home simply because you are entranced with the view.
Go online and check the registry for local sex offenders in the neighborhoods you are looking at buying in. Almost all states have public sex offender registries, but real estate agents and individual sellers probably won?t highlight the fact that sex offenders live nearby. Doing your own research is easy and necessary.
Before you buy any real estate, make sure you do your research. Too many people dive into real estate too quickly, then they end up making bad purchases, which causes them to lose money and time. Before purchasing any type of property, make certain you research the whole area, the property?s age, the area?s crime rate, etc.
Get data on your local housing market. Gather info from various websites, including City Data and Zillow, to see how many homes were foreclosed upon, average selling prices, and and how long it takes to sell a house in the market. You can also use this opportunity to check out the location?s job opportunities, crime rates, etc. Even if housing and employment trends aren?t positive, you still might want to consider buying a particular home if it is your dream home. This home might be the exception to the general trend in the area.
This is a great time to spend some money on real estate. Due to the crash of the housing market, properties are available at record low prices. This presents a unique and ideal window of opportunity to move out of an apartment and into a place of your own. In time, the market will increase again. This means you will have made a great investment purchase if you bought when prices were low.
You will thank yourself in the future by about the time you invested here to gain proper knowledge about purchasing real estate. An agent is just a guide. You will have to make the really tough choices on your own. These tips have made it easier for you to decide with confidence.

ScienceDaily (June 21, 2012) ? According to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, cancer is subject to the evolutionary processes laid out by Charles Darwin in his concept of natural selection. Natural selection was the process identified by Darwin by which nature selects certain physical attributes, or phenotypes, to pass on to offspring to better "fit" the organism to the environment.
As applied to cancer, natural selection, a key principle of modern biology, suggests that malignancies in distinct "microhabitats" promote the evolution of resistance to therapies. However, these same evolutionary principles of natural selection can be applied to successfully manage cancer, say Moffitt researchers who published an opinion piece in a recent issue of Nature Reviews Cancer.
"Understanding cancer as a disease starts with identifying crucial environmental forces and corresponding adaptive cellular strategies," said Robert A. Gatenby, M.D., chair of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging. "Cancer is driven by environmental selection forces that interact with individual cellular adaptive strategies."
Cancer cell development, like any natural selection (or Darwinian) process, is governed by environmental selection forces and cellular adaptive strategies, the authors wrote. Investigating cancer and its proliferation through genetic changes and ignoring the adaptive landscape is most likely futile. Under "selective pressure" of chemotherapy, in this case the "adaptive landscape," resistant populations of cancer cells invariably evolve.
The authors say that tumors can be thought of as "continents" populated by multiple cellular species that adapt to regional variations in environmental selection forces. Their strategy in offering this metaphor, they wrote, is to "integrate microenvironmental factors at work during cancer's progression" into the model of the evolution of cancer and, particularly, the evolution of drug resistance.
"Hundreds of mutations can be found in tumors," said co-author Daniel Verduzco, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at Moffitt. "The physical environment of the early tumor is constantly changing, often in response to inflammation."
This reality should remind us, they wrote, that natural selection selects for phenotype, for observable physical characteristics, and that natural selection forces at work in local environments causes populations to change phenotypically rather than genotypically.
The authors point out that for most patients with advanced cancers -- even when there is a well-known target and a highly specific drug -- response to therapy is fleeting owing to the evolution and proliferation of a resistant population of cancer cells.
While targeted therapies have been among the most recent approaches to treating cancer, the authors suggest that the vast changes in the genetics of tumors via mutations reduce the effectiveness of targeted therapies and are a reason why targeted therapies cease to work.
"The emergence of resistance is predictable and inevitable as a fundamental property of carcinogenesis," Gatenby said. "However, this fundamental fact is commonly ignored in the design of treatment strategies. The emergence of drug resistance is rarely, if ever, dealt with until it occurs."
In an effort to develop patient-specific, long-term therapeutic strategies, the authors contend that resistance should be anticipated. By "anticipation" in action, they mean developing "adaptive therapies" prior to the emergence of resistance.
Cancer cells, they wrote, can only adapt to immediate selection forces. Cancer cells cannot anticipate future environmental conditions or evolutionary dynamics. This concept, said the authors, may provide an advantage when designing new therapies by "directing" the natural selection processes to prevent the outgrowth of resistant cancer populations and so improve outcomes.
"This potentially unifying theory places the evolution of cancer within a dynamically active landscape," said Robert J. Gillies, chair of the Department of Cancer Imaging and Metabolism, and program leader of Experimental Therapeutics. "The outcome is cancer's heterogeneity -- those variations that negatively affect targeted therapies to control cancer.
"Recognizing that evolutionary dynamics are an essential component of carcinogenesis itself can lead to development of appropriate therapeutic strategies," Gillies said. "For example, knowing ahead of time that resistant cancers are likely to emerge provides us with lead time to develop preventive or adaptive therapeutic approaches. We have recently completed studies with our colleagues, Dr. Ariosto Silva , showing that evolutionarily informed therapies can forestall the emergence of resistant tumors for a very long time."
The authors conclude that we can use our understanding of evolution to strategically direct natural selection toward preventing the outgrowth of resistant cancer populations and, in so doing, improve outcomes.

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- yeah sculpt on her could have been better. it doesnt really look like jamie chung and she's more tanned than whatever skintone they have on her. i like the clothing and gear, but she didnt turnn out as nice as babydoll for sure |
|

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- I was impressed with the sculpt, based on Ms Chung as the character. But I also freely admit that Babydoll was stronger. |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- A. I love the fact that this is a sculpted female face with pores and just as great paintjob as many other modern male sculpts. B. I hate the fact that she looks pudgy, that the hairdo is too specific and molded. So, guess I will buy the HS and then break out the tools to give her a new hair. Darn, why can't anything be simple nowadays in this hobby? |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- Jacket sleeves seem too long and she doesn't come with much gear does she? I thought she might come with another firearm, not sure what she used in the movie being the pilot but they could have found something. |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- HT have moved up a notch with femfigs recently, I do have to give them that. I think that she is nicely done. As for face shape and skin tone, that is as much down to photography as it is to sculpting. I thought the War Scarface was pale after seeing Jeff's pics, but, it was fine when I briefly had the figure in hand. CHEERS! |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- I still find it funny she got her start on "The Real World". |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- Looks good to me. Agree that Baby turned out better though. I think it is the paint apps that aren't as good... |
|
||||
Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- The face is a bit large? The eyes looks stale. Babydoll looks a lot better. |
|

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- Great pics! But I may have to pass... It doesn't look anything like her. She looked too wide-eyed, in my opinion. She's Asian after all. Her irises are too small. If you look at her pics on the web, they are kinda large for her face, making her look a bit cross-eyed up front (that's why she looks great when she looks to her side). Also, her eyebrows are too short; they extend beyond the length of her eyes. They are also too low; there is bit of space (fat) in between the eye and brow for most Chinese/Asian faces. Sorry, I notice these things.... It's a curse, really.

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- i know there's bound to be, but there is a pretty noticeable amount of discrepancy between the prototype and the final fig. i guess this becomes REALLY obvious when dealing with female prototype eyes/make-up paint apps vs. factory work paint apps. this is still a great female sculpt though. appreciated to say the least.

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- Hmm not fully convinced, way less expression than babydoll... |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- Looks a little "flat". Not a terrible figure, but just not terribly exciting either. I was on the fence about buying her, but I don't think I will. I still wish they'd done Rocket or Sweetpea instead of Amber. |

Wow great a butcher knife!!! Its cool that you can take of her hat I thought it would be sculpted. Are these the same breasts as on the babydoll body? |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- I think the sculpt (open-mouthed expression aside) is good. I think the paint app could have been better. Something about the way they painted the eyes doesn't seem right. I still like the figure and have no intention of cancelling my preorder. |

Re: Hot Toys- Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, full review up later today- I think you guys may be being a little bit judgmental over just the one set of in hand pics. Wait till those of you that are getting her get her then you can better make your minds up. CHEERS! |

Re: Hot Toys Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, FULL REVIEW NOW ADDED I think she looks kind of cool...but since I don't have the money to buy her, I am sure some people think my opinion doesn't count...but I can honestly say if I could afford it, I would buy this, although I think the Baby Doll head sculpt is better, I actually like this one costume better..... |

Re: Hot Toys Sucker Punch: Amber- pics, FULL REVIEW NOW ADDED Thanks for the review, Wookster, I'll read it later at lunch break. I still think Sweetpea has better outfit though >_< |
