In the new vampire film Rise: Blood Hunter, Liu is Sadie Blake, a LA Weekly reporter "whose research into a goth cult gets a little too in-depth," according to the Toronto Star's review. The storyline should sound familiar to most alt-weekly reporters, who have undoubtedly found themselves in this situation at least once: "She awakes in a morgue to discover herself a newly minted member of the vampiric undead, expected to survive by drinking human blood." Of course, she wants none of it, and "armed with a baroque crossbow that kills vampires deader than undead, she sets out to settle a few scores." The film opens today in some cities.
Total Call International's La Mejor Mexico long-distance phone card features a character whose face is clearly taken from the syndicated column's logo, created by artist Mark Dancey. "No one had asked me or Village Voice Media (the cabrones who own the copyright to the ¡Ask a Mexican! column and logo, as well as my second-born son) for permission to use the image," writes ¡Ask a Mexican! author Gustavo Arellano. A Total Call representative tells Arellano that a designer found the logo while looking for stock art through a Google search, and that the company will recall the 10,000 phone cards that haven't yet been sold.
Data released in late 2006 from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the majority of U.S. households are now headed by unmarried adults.

The report also details the spending preferences of various unmarried demographic groups. For example, younger unmarried adults skew towards technology purchases; single boomers opt for luxury items; and single parents "enjoy shopping and sharing their children's entertainment."
