But there were teething problems with the new 'real time passenger information' (RTPI) service yesterday, with the text service proving less than reliable.

Tokyo Dental Salon Specializes in Giving Girls Crooked Teeth (Oddity Central) 

(A dental salon in Tokyo’s Ginza district has become very popular with girls after it advertised a cosmetic procedure that lengthens and sharpens canines to enhance a feature Japanese call “yaeba”. Crooked teeth are seen as imperfections in many western countries, and particularly in America, where braces are practically a God-given gift to man, but in Japan, a country where almost everything is different, they are considered cute, even adorable. Yaeba means double tooth in Japanese, but it doesn’t describe major dental deformities, but rather the vampire-like look obtained when the two molars crowd the canines pushing them forward to create a fang effect. According to some sources, yaeba gives girls a feline look which is apparently makes them even more attractive, while others say it’s this little imperfection that makes pretty girls look more approachable as opposed to the flawless magazine cover models of the western world. There are many Japanese celebrities with yaeba, but instead of having it fixed with braces, they just show it off to the camera, and that only makes them more popular.)

RED STATE – CHASING KEVIN (Little White Lies) 

(A darling of Sundance and the micro-budget film subculture (‘thank or hate Richard [Linklater]… for making me become a filmmaker’ says Smith in the introduction to his collected screenplays) Kevin Smith’s relationship with the mainstream has been a giddy journey of peaks and troughs. 1994′s Clerks remains a scuzzy gem, full of memorable dialogue, zero budget enforced AV blemishes and Gen-X terminology. Like his counterparts Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, Smith would be given a vastly increased budget for his second feature, Mallrats, a playful but coarse homage to John Hughes produced by a big studio. It tanked, taking two-thirds of Clerks’ three million dollar gross on a six mil budget.)

Red State Review (This Is Fake DIY) 

(Courting controversy with this project like Katie Price courts publicity, the usually comedic Kevin Smith tries his hand at horror with this unsettling tale of religious zealotry. Michael Parks heads up the uniformly excellent cast with a bravura performance as the leader of an uber Christian church, Pastor Abin Cooper. So extreme are his views that even the neo-Nazis distance themselves from him. Michael Arangano, Kyle Gallner and Nicholas Braun - sporting the greatest mullet this side of 1983 - play three horny teens out to meet an older woman willing to service the three of them. It doesn’t take a genius to see where this is going, as the “date” turns into a kidnap by Cooper and his sinister church members. In a brave move Smith spends a good 15 minutes or so on Cooper delivering a sermon of hate to his congregation of family members while the terrified Gallner can only sit in fear and listen to what is to become of him and his friends.)

So... Who's Seen Kevin Smith's Red State? (Portland Mercury) 

(Red State is 180 degrees from anything [Smith] has ever done; his filmography to date has been firmly comedic, with occasional seasonings of fantasy, romance, and action. Red State is deadly serious… and seriously disturbing. It is easily his finest film to date, but most moviegoers will remain completely unaware of it, because Smith has undercut its success at every turn with his own hubris, greed, or ignorance. Or, perhaps, all three.)

People learn while they sleep, study suggests (Xenophilius) 

(Kimberly Fenn – People may be learning while they’re sleeping – an unconscious form of memory that is still not well understood, according to a study by Michigan State University researchers. The findings are highlighted in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. “We speculate that we may be investigating a separate form of memory, distinct from traditional memory systems,” said Kimberly Fenn, assistant professor of psychology and lead researcher on the project. “There is substantial evidence that during sleep, your brain is processing information without your awareness and this ability may contribute to memory in a waking state.”)

What You Wear Can Influence How People Perceive Your Race (WSJ)

New Jersey Fugitive, On the Run for 41 Years, Arrested in Portugal (TIME) 

(He escaped from prison and hijacked a plane. But he's finally back behind bars – more than four decades years later. When George Wright went on the lam in 1970, Richard Nixon was in the White House and gas cost 36 cents a gallon. But time caught up with him, and the authorities, well, they never forget. Wright, surely less spry and daring than he was as a 27-year-old fugitive, was arrested Monday in the Portugal resort town of Sintra, 20 miles outside of Lisbon.)

Lewis & Clark Stolen Canoe Finally Returned to Tribe (TIME) 

(Returning stolen property gets tough when you don't have that property any more. So decedents of William Clark — of Lewis and Clark fame — did the next best thing: they had a replica canoe constructed and returned to the Chinook Indian Nation. Sure, the theft dates back to 1806, but don't let over 200 years stand in the way of trying to do the right thing. Which is what happened when a group got together to have the 36-foot-long oceangoing canoe custom-built in Veneta, Ore., and presented to the tribe during a special ceremony in Long Beach, Wash.)

Convict Finds Freedom Overwhelming, Starts a Fire and Heads Back to Jail (TIME) 

(What's scarier than being locked up in a Texas prison for 26 years? Returning to a world you no longer recognize. For Randall Lee Church, 96 days of being back in society was quite enough, so he sent himself right on back to jail.

Coffee May Lower Women's Risk of Depression (TIME) 

(Many of us rely on a cup of coffee to kick-start our day (you're welcome, Starbucks), and now new research suggests that our morning caffeine infusion may also help ward off depression over the long term, especially for women. The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that women who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee a day were 15% less likely to develop depression over the 10-year study period, compared with women who consumed one cup or less per day. Women who drank four or more cups of coffee a day had a 20% lower risk. Women who drank decaf didn't show a similar reduction in depression rates.)

Is It Weird to Breast-Feed a 3-Year-Old? Mayim Bialik Doesn't Think So (TIME) 

(Breast is best, experts agree, but what about for kids who are old enough to walk, talk and attend preschool — like Fred, the 3-year-old son of actress Mayim Bialik, who blogged earlier this month about the process of gradually weaning him? I stopped nursing my youngest daughter just last year, two months before her third birthday, so I figured little could surprise me when it came to extended breast-feeding. If anything, I'm an advocate for breast-feeding babies who are no longer technically babies.)

Teen’s parents: After suicide, he’s still being bullied (MSNBC)

(The late, great Dwayne McDuffie’s final script, Justice League: Doom, gets some added star-power to the already star-studded voice cast with the addition of Nathan Fillion and Tim Daly. Check out all the details in the press release from Warner Bros. Home Video below. All-Star Superman and Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, also by McDuffie, are pretty phenomenal, so you definitely don’t want to miss this one.
