Poor Thang: Bishop Don Juan Eddie Long Closes His School Down Due To Money Woes

Looks like all those lawsuits and that divorce are catching up to Eddie Long Stroke. New Birth Christian Academy is closing after 18 years, sending hundreds of students scrambling to find a new school by next week. The academy, founded by Bishop Eddie Long, informed parents in a letter dated Dec. 22 that the private school’s “funding estimates fall far short of our projected needs. It is a very sad occasion, as the NBCA board has made the tough decision to temporarily close the school.” “We have operated New Birth Christian Academy for several years with substantial deficits in hopes that the national economic climate would change, however, that change never materialized,” said to the letter signed by Carlton Donald, the board’s vice chair. This has been a hellacious year for Eddie Long. And now his school is closing. Actually, that’s probably for the best. Just saying. We hope those teachers land on their feet and those students find some good schools though.

Yikes!

REVIEW: Broken Beds! Bloody Placenta! Breaking Dawn — Part 1 Goes to Crazytown — Almost

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part I is such a departure from the previous three Twilight pictures that you could almost consider it a rogue offshoot. Director Bill Condon steers the franchise away from visions of wan, suffering teens and fake-fur werewolf tussles and brings it closer to — if not necessarily close to — something resembling human adult sexual obsession and its attendant responsibilities and anxieties. It’s like Jules and Jim for the Tiger Beat set.

Talking with Movieline today, Rosenberg delved into the Sopranos esque qualities of her newly announced female-led crime drama Penoza and discussed the challenges of bringing a Jessica Jones superheroine series into a post- Birds of Prey / Wonder Woman world.

Japanese Scientists Create Touchable Holograms

Researchers at Tokyo University have come up with a technology that is a first and significant step away from the mouse and keyboard – touchable holograms. [Hiroyuki Shinoda, Professor, Tokyo University]: “Up until now, holography has been for the eyes only, and if you'd try to touch it, your hand would go right through. But now we have a technology that also adds the sensation of touch to holograms.” The technology consists of software that uses ultrasonic waves to create pressure on the hand of a user “touching” the projected hologram. Researchers are using two Wiimotes from Nintendo’s Wii gaming system to track a user’s hand. The technology was introduced at SIGGRAPH, an annual computer graphics conference, and has so far only been tested with relatively simple objects. But its inventors have big plans for touchable holograms in the future. added by: Darevalo
