DreamWorks Animation Acquires Felix the Cat

DreamWorks Animation has acquired all rights to Felix the Cat, the feline cartoon from the silent film era, DWA CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said during a speech at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

A popular cartoon throughout the 1920s, Felix first appeared in film shorts and a comic strip. He resurfaced in various TV shows and movies since the introduction of sound, and ranks as one of the greatest cartoon characters of all-time.

“Felix really goes beyond evergreen status and rises to something even more uncommon, as he is a true icon,” Katzenberg said during a speech given to executives from retail, fashion and entertainment.”We plan to make him one of the most desired fashion brands in the world.”

Felix joins DreamWorks Animation's growing stable of treasured charcaters from old kids’ shows. The company bought the rights to Casper the Friendly Ghost, Lassie and The Lone Ranger among others, when it acquired Classic Media in 2012.

The company has been amassing a library of characters to employ in TV shows, web series, video games and, as Katzenberg's statements about Felix indicate, clothing. Katzenberg founded DreamWorks Animation as a movie studio, but he has been gradually turning it into much more, producing shows for Netflix, acquiring online video network AwesomenessTV and hiring executives to create theme parks, board games and various other consumer products based on its characters.

The constricting economics of the film industry forced this strategic pivot, though Katzenberg walked back previous statements about the movie business not being a growth industry.

“Theatrical exhibition continues to power on,” Katzenberg said Tuesday. “In China, they're building ten new screens a day.”

As for Felix, we can only hope DWA uses this as its model for future clothing:

Snapchat Announces A New Feature That Lets Users Share Their Photos And Videos With Anyone Publicly From Events

Snapchat will debut a new feature called "Our Story" this weekend at the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) festival, an electronic music festival, in Las Vegas.

Our Story will let people attending the same party or event upload photos and videos into a central story.

Snapchat already has "My Story," a feature that lets people thread together video and photos into a personal visual status. Our Story will allow multiple people to contribute to a story. After you record a snap, you'll have the option to add it to Our Story with a quick tap, just like you add something to My Story.

You'll have to enable location services on your phone to use Our Story, but Snapchat promises it won't store your location. The photos and videos will only be available for 24 hours after they are taken. For now, this feature is limited to the festival. There's no word on when or if it will roll out more broadly. 

Interestingly, all the photos loaded into the EDC story stream will be available for anyone to see whether they are at the event or not. Snapchat's success has been built on privacy and personal sharing. This is veering in the complete opposite direction. 

You can check out the announcement video featuring Tiesto, below.

NPR Links Bundy--not Occupy--to Las Vegas Murders

NPR Links Bundy--not Occupy--to Las Vegas Murders National Public Radio's Morning Edition aired a story by Kirk Siegler on Tuesday morning on the enduring tensions at Cliven Bundy's ranch in Nevada, where armed protestors faced down the federal government in May. The story notes that the married couple who carried out a deadly shooting spree in Las Vegas last week had been at the Bundy ranch. Siegler fails, however, to note that they had also been at an Occupy protest.

Moreover, while Siegler's story, as posted on the NPR website, mentions that the murderers were asked to leave the ranch," that portion of the story did not actually air, as the audio of the story reveals. Listeners are left to believe that Bundy and fellow protestors shared some connection with the murderers--if not personal, then political and ideological. 

By implication, other critics of federal power may be linked to such violence as well.

That is a connection that the mainstream media, including NPR, have been desperate to make ever since the Tea Party emerged. 

It is an effort that has largely failed, because the perpetrators of sensational attacks have usually been deranged individuals without clear ideological affiliations, or with conflicting ones. (In one often-overlooked case, a left-wing extremist tried to carry out a mass shooting at the Family Research Council.)

The lack of evidence has not prevented the media from continuing the effort to associate violent extremism with conservatism. 

Here, NPR aired a story that was not only biased against conservatives, owing to its omission of the link between the Vegas murderers and the media-backed Occupy movement, but that was further edited to remove exculpatory information apparently included by the reporter.

SICARIUS MMA today announced the signing of a sponsorship deal with top-ranked MMA competitor Jesse Taylor for the upcoming WSOF 10 inaugural middleweight title fight.

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) June 17, 2014

SICARIUS MMA today announced the signing of a sponsorship deal with top-ranked MMA competitor Jesse Taylor for the upcoming WSOF 10 inaugural middleweight title fight.

Jesse Taylor has won 4 titles in his career, fought in the UFC, Strikeforce and Dream as well as competed in season 7 of the Ultimate Fighter and is riding a 7 fight win streak. He has headlined or co-headlined every event he’s participated in for the last several years, with notable victories over Kendall Grove, Tom Watson, Chris Camozzi, Murilo Bustamante, and Denis Kang Taylor.

SICARIUS MMA spokesperson Matt DiBattista commented on the fit between Taylor and the SICARIUS brand: “Taylor is a guy with heart. His rise to the top has not been an easy one, in fact it’s been the path less travelled, but he never backed down from a challenge, and he did it his way. At SICARIUS we identify with that.” The company was approached by Taylor’s management team a week before his WSOF10 fight, due to another sponsor failing to come up with the goods.

When approached for comment, Taylor seemed in good spirits with days to go to the big night: ”I'm super pumped that SICARIUS MMA stepped up without any issues. Within less than 24 hours they gave my manager the thumbs up, designed the walkout shirt, and have agreed to everything. In this business that's a rare thing so I'm pumped for their support and this fight is so important for me."

SICARIUS MMA is a premium quality fight brand out of Phoenix, Arizona. The company is heavily involved in the development of amateur MMA and also donates monthly to IAVA from its line of clothing and gear which honours veterans.

DiBattista explains: “We give back to those that fight in the ultimate challenge - the fight for our Freedom. No matter how hard the guys go at it in the cage, nothing compares to the brave men and women who sacrifice for us to have the way of life we do. We do our best to give back where we can.”

Taylor will be fighting David Branch on June 21 at WSOF 10 in Las Vegas at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, airing on NBC Sports Network.

Rapid Opiate Detox in Only 8 Hours from Las Vegas Rapid Detox

Las Vegas Rapid Detox Medical Clinic is pleased to announce that they reached the milestone of performing 500 successful rapid opiate detox procedures without any complications.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) June 20, 2014

Opiate detox can be an extremely painful thing to go thorugh. However, with Las Vegas Rapid Detox’s groundbreaking 8 hour rapid detox procedure, patients can detox from opiates in only eight hours without suffering any signs of withdrawal. Las Vegas Rapid Detox’s procedure has been proven safe and in Las Vegas Rapid Detox is please to announce that they have reached the milestone of successfully performing 500 rapid opiate detox procedures without any complications.

Since July 2007, Dr. Thomas Yee, MD, an anesthesiologist with 20 years of clinical experience, certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, has treated 500 patients from all over the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Performed in certified operating rooms at accredited hospital or surgery centers, the advanced rapid opiate detox procedure (AROD), developed by Dr. Yee, has been used on patients addicted to various opiates including heroin, oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, dilaudid, vicodin, tramadol, etc.

“The best way to describe what we do is imagining 2 weeks worth of cold-turkey quitting being compressed into 8 hours while the patient sleeps under anesthesia,” Dr. Yee stated. “We know the physical withdrawal in quitting opiates is horrible, but the discomfort is finite; it does not last forever. The trick is to hurry up the withdrawal so the patient can get over it while sleeping.”

After the 8-hour treatment, the patients would receive 48 hours of one-on-one nursing care for recovery. After returning home, patients are required to have weekly counseling for 6 months to treat the psychological aspect of addiction. In order to prevent relapse, patients are also required to receive FDA-approved monthly injection of a long-acting opiate-blocker, Vivitrol, from nearby providers.
