27 Mar "Drug War" star Louis Koo is one of the highest-earning actors in the industry, and it seems that he has feng shui masters to thank for his success.

According to Jayne Stars, it was recently revealed that Louis sought guidance from a well-known Thai fortune teller known as the "Calculator Oracle" to avoid bad luck and boost his career. He also visited a feng shui master called Master Miu in Hong Kong to further improve his luck. The latter is popular among Hong Kong celebrities, and has reportedly helped Nick Cheung and Wayne Lai to their current success.

As a result of following the feng shui masters' advice over the past ten years, Louis went from being a pretty face to a film superstar, making up to six movies a year in addition to countless advertisement and endorsement opportunities, which totalled to over HKD 100 million.

However, despite his successes, Louis does not take them for granted, and continues to work hard for his films. He was seen visiting the gym to tone his body for Benny Chan's "The Cartel War" in Thailand, as he performs his own stunts on the set.

After 35 years of field research in the Serengeti plains, Craig Packer, director of the Lion Research Center at the University of Minnesota, has lost all patience with the romance of African wilderness. Fences, he says, are the only way to stop the precipitous and continuing decline in the number of African lions.

"Reality has to intrude," he said. "Do you want to know the two most hated species in Africa, by a mile? Elephants and lions."

They destroy crops and livestock, Packer said, and sometimes, in the case of lions, actually eat people.

Packer's goal is to save lions. Fencing them in, away from people and livestock, is the best way to do that, he believes, both for conservation and economics. He made that argument in a paper this month in Ecology Letters, along with 57 co-authors, including most of the top lion scientists and conservationists.

The paper lays out the value of fences in clear terms, although it stops short of endorsing fencing as the only sensible option. That is Packer's own view. With a growing human population whose rights must be respected, he says, open and free co-existence with lions is not practical, nor is it fair to the humans who have to live with the big cats.

In conversation, Packer goes beyond the measured scientific prose of the paper, venting his frustration with the fantasy often offered to tourists of a free and unfettered African wilderness.

"That's 130 years ago," he said. "I'm just trying to push people to

Lions in Africa have lost 75 percent of their range in the past 100 years, problems between people and lions have increased, and some populations suffer from genetic isolation. Panthera, a conservationist organization devoted to big cats, estimates there are 30,000 lions in Africa today, down from 200,000 lions 100 years ago.

Some populations are doing well, such as those in the Serengeti, which is not fenced, and those in large and small reserves in South Africa.

Using surveys from 42 sites in 11 countries in Africa, the authors of the paper concluded that without fencing, it would cost $2,000 per square kilometer, or less than half a square mile, annually to keep lions at 50 percent of their potential numbers. With fencing, the cost would be $500 a year to maintain 80 percent of their potential numbers.

The demolition of El Paso's City Hall to clear the way for theTriple-Abaseball stadium is just a few weeks away.

Tuesday,city engineers presented council with a plan for how the blast will go.

City engineer Alan Shubert says Tuesday is really the last day you can access City Hall as a governmentbuilding because fromnow on it will more of a construction zone.

Shubert presented a first look at what will be considered theExclusion Zone.It includes a500-footradius aroundCity Hall. Thatarea will be blocked off a few hours before demolition.

Even though there are some homes and apartments in the area, Shubert said there won't be any mandatory evacuations. For those who live in the area, the city is asking that you close your windows and doors and don't run yourair conditioningon April14.

"People are welcome to stay home if they want to. We just want them to stayinside. Wedon't want them exposed to that dust cloud," said Shubert.

CityHallis almost empty as employees back up boxes and vacate their offices.

One clever employee sprawled, "Tomorrow, I will not be here" on an office white board.

WhileInterstate 10and the railroad will shut down temporarily, Shubert said they don't want to close the roads earlier than they have to and will open back up as soon as all of the dust can be cleared.

According to Shubert, wind maybe a factor because of the dust but it will not prohibit the demolition. "There is no maximum wind speed. We can take this building down in any of our wind events without having an issue," said Shubert.

PITTSFIELD -- As it has since the 1970s, Pittsfield's dilapidated housing demolition program is gearing up again with the return of warmer weather -- targeting the worst of the worst vacant properties.

The lengthy, expensive demolition process for a half-dozen properties is now at the bidding stage for removal or nearing it, according to Robert Cornwell, community development specialist with the city.

"I feel pretty confident that within the calendar year we will be able to demolish those properties, maybe more," Cornwell said.

One quickly obvious fact concerning the city's long-running effort to deal with vacant properties is that, given unlimited funding, many more vacant lots might be the result.

Cornwell and City Planner CJ Hoss said a number of officials from the Community Development Department, Health Department, Fire Department, Building Inspection Department and the city solicitor's office meet periodically to discuss properties with violations, especially those vacant or abandoned. They ultimately recommend a list of the worst properties to the mayor for funding approval.

On the list currently, Cornwell said, are 57 dwellings with state Sanitary Code or Building Code violations that apparently have been vacant for some time. This is a "watch list," Hoss said, meaning that at some point, given funding for demolition, the city would move to raze the building if the violations continue.

Cornwell said the city is seeking a

He said the average for a dwelling demolition is about $30,000, including a technical assessment identifying hazardous materials like asbestos and creation of specifications for bidders and for removal of debris to a certified disposal site.

The city this fiscal year, through June 30, has $100,000 in Health Department funds and another $58,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for demolitions, with the prospect of new funding in the next city budget that could be used this calendar year, Cornwell said.

The city has primarily used some of its federal CDBG funding since the 1970s for demolition of dilapidated properties to combat neighborhood blight, he said.

The Knowlton Golf Clubs request for a demolition permit for the Paul Holland Knowlton house was refused in a unanimous vote taken by the Town of Brome Lakes three member Demolition Committee on Monday night. Some 75 people attended the meeting held at Knowltons Centre Lac-Brome. There was a 45 minute question period, followed by a reading of the resolution and then the committee vote was taken. A petition of some 500 signatures had been submitted to town hall, along with numerous letters and e-mails. Feedback from the community has been overwhelming, said town clerk Edwin John Sullivan, adding that there was only one letter in support of the demolition. The golf club submitted its application to town hall last month, on Feb. 13. This is the second demolition request made by the golf club. The reaction from the community has been very positive, said Judith Duncanson, one of organizers behind the petition. Duncanson added: The next step is to make it happen. The status of the historic property has been left in a state of suspension for over two years, with the towns council being blamed by many in the community for dragging its feet. The golf club made its first application to demolish the building in Nov. 2010. The stated reason for demolition request was for landscaping and parking. The town turned down the request on Dec. 6, 2010, after public opposition to demolishing the house was made loud and clear via many letters to town hall. There was also a petition opposing the demolition signed by 106 residents. The petition was submitted to town hall on Dec. 1, 2010.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (KMPH) -

Demolition crews on Tuesday recycled 99 cabins and removed asbestos-contaminated material from an avalanche-damaged area in Yosemite National Park's Curry Village.

The demolition takes place nearly four years after rocks from a nearby cliff fell onto 17 cabins in the village.

In October 2008 park officials fenced off the rock fall area to protect Yosemite visitors and employees, labeling it a "major risk to public health and safety."

Yosemite Park officials along with the California Office of Historic Preservation agreed to demolish and remove 99 cabins close to the rock fall area.

Testing revealed asbestos in the floor tiles of all 99 Curry Village cabins. The floor tiles were removed by Fresno-based Brunna Enterprises prior to the demolition.

Nearly 99 percent of the concrete, wood and metal used in the cabins was recycled, Yosemite National Park officials said.

In place of the demolished cabins, the Park will plant native vegetation to return the site to its natural state, said Yosemite Park spokesman Scott Gediman.

Under the Yosemite National Park improvement plan, the Park will build 53 hard-sided cabins in the Curry village Boy's Town Area, Yosemite Officials said.
