I realized that when it comes to bad publicity, Disney is more than likely to either drop an actor/actress who’s in the news, or ask for an immediate apology. Some examples of this are: Miley Cyrus and the barely nude photos that were taken of her; Vanessa Hudgens’s nude photos that were leaked to the public (but not by her); and Hillary Duff, whose Disney show was discontinued and who took a leave of absence from Disney after rumors started to spread about her becoming belimic.While Nickelodeon/The N kept on a lot of their star ie Jamie Lynn spears

Don't Hate, Appreciate.

I don’t see why people can take one look at a person, and immediately hatethem. ItâÂÂs a serious problem in society today. I won’t lie, I’ve done itbefore. But my question is: why? What makes us so judgmental to a pointwhere a stranger isn’t even worthy of talking to?
I’ve learned that everyone should get a chance. I know, the chick might havestolen your best friend’s boyfriend, or rumor is that he’s been around; it allstops at this: what you hear and what you know will never empower what you willlearn. You can meet someone, get a bad vibe, but at least try to befriendly: find a common ground, current events, something! If you give up tooquick and just walk past someone just because of what they wore, or what youheard, you might be missing out on the greatest person ever.
Part of this, I know from experience, is hate. Sadly, all this hate isusually running amongst us females. Some drop dead gorgeous female figure walksin: not a hair out of place, overwhelming sex appeal, pretty face, hourglassshape, steez, the illest swag, and a PhD to go with. You know everyoneis staring in awe, including you and your boo. You immediately hate her.You want to be better than her; you want her to be jealous of you.Let’s define this wonderful action of hating:
“Hating:is the act of talking about someone in a negative connotation FOR NOAPPARENT REASON or motive”
-Abi, of Girls are the New Boys Blog
It is distasteful and a disgracetowards the female society if you choose to build your life off of unnecessary,cold-hearted, insults towards others. Why spend so much time searching for someoneelse’ flaw just because you’re insecure about yourself? Iunderstand, sometimes itâÂÂs just funny to point out someone’s faulty. However,there is a fine line between having a good laugh and asking for abutt-whoopin’â I suggest you NOT CROSS IT. We’re human beings,competitive by nature, and we’re constantly, yet subconsciously comparing andcompeting with the girl who stole your spot as manager, or the chick whodivorced your friendship because of some middle school DOODOOâ a constanturge to be better than that other girl. If we were able to look pastall this hate and competition, we’d probably function better. We’d get morework done, rather than sitting there, grilling at the boo sitting next to you.We’d be happier and appreciative of what we have instead of trying to get thenew release before that phony girl gets her hands on them.
We should learn to accept the talent rather than hating on it. Don’twaste the talent: you know you’re not perfect, no one is. But what makessomeone ugly, is not only their looks but their personality. You know thatbangin’ hot chick doesn’t worry for one second that you’re talkin’ allthat smack. Why? “Because she’s too busy trying to balance her lucrativemodeling career with her upcoming graduate school schedule.”
The only thing unique about you is your personality; and that’s the truth.You can buy all the clothes you want, you can apply make-up in whichever wayyou please, but there will always be someone, smack on the other side ofthe globe, doing the same. exact. thing. You can’t compete with looks. But isshe can sing, ask her to teach you melody. If she can dance, ask her to teachyou rhythm. If she’s got some rock hard abs? Shoot, ask her how to disciplineyourself into not eating two cups of Cup Noodles in the duration of an hour at3AM. Use her intelligence to your advantage and LEARN.

Find an irreplaceable niche
“Become a doctor or a lawyer.”
It seems for the past century, those two career choices were strongly advocated by parents for their children to pursue. Recently, I’ve come to notice another occupation that seems to join medicine and law in their rank: pharmacy.
In Chinese the term “pharmacy” translates into “drug study,” which for the most part is accurate. Most notably, pharmacists dispense prescription drugs, but their line of work is extensive. A typical day might include advising physicians and patients in regards to selection, dosage and the side effects of drugs.
To become a pharmacist one must attain a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, known as a Pharm.D. This usually means four years of some pharmacy program and at least two of general science (biology, chemistry and physics). In regards to careers, pharmacy is the shortest way to get a standing in medicine next to nursing (which is two years).
On average a pharmacist will make about $95K a year. Not bad for six years of school.
Lately, it seems most of my parents’ friends’ children have pursued or will pursue pharmacy as an alternative to becoming a doctor or a lawyer. The pay is good and the number of years in school are drastically shorter. So why wouldn’t one want to become a pharmacist?
Call me paranoid but I don’t want to enter a trade that might be taken over by robots in the future. There is a known trend: efficiency comes with a cost. As technology advances, there will be an increase in lay offs. Companies will reduce costs by firing workers. Why pay a worker $9 an hour for what a computer or program could do in five minutes?
The field of pharmacy is nothing more than all the information and knowledge about drugs and their effects on the human body, being studied and put into a walking breathing reference: a pharmacist. Notice how there is no occupation called “Mr. Dictionary.” Jobs and careers that require knowledge and nothing else can easily be taken by machines.
Imagine in ten years, you just consulted a doctor (he too has been increasingly regulated: “how can I help you? where does it hurt?, when did this start? take some antibiotics and come back if it does not get better”) and he prescribed some pills. You then take the prescription to a pharmacy, but instead of a teller, there is simply a slot for your prescription and one for your medical card. You insert both. In five minutes a sealed bottle is dispensed and an automated voice tells you to have a nice day. Simple. Efficient. Less costly than to pay a pharmacist to take your orders. Also, a lot less personal. (Nobody needs to know you just got another fungal infection and need a refill of last month’s antibiotics.)
Recent studies show that the field of pharmacy has grown exponentially. I’m not convinced. I’m actually nervous because when the world finds a way to automate the dispensing of prescription drugs, the economy will once again hit a decline as all those graduates with six-year degrees find they’ve mastered a fruitless trade.
Uh oh for everybody.
Japan Lays Off Robots
   In the U.S, there are people getting laid off because of the recession and it’s very hard to find a new job. In Japan there is also a recession, and there are jobs being lost but not for humans. Here’s an article http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/13/technology/13robot.html?_r=1&hp, which states that robots that we would find useful in the U.S are being laid off from work in Japan. I think this is really fascinating because people around the world would love to have a robot to work for them and play with them, but these guys in Japan are laying off robots and trying to get rid of them. These robots are not ordinary robots we see; they have many talents such as dish washing and making cars. This is very strange because you don’t pay robots to do work — all you have to do is supply them with electrical power so that they can work, and I believe that is a lot cheaper thank having actual human workers.    Â
