...creations are 3-D animations but more human than Bart Simpson. They're sinister, perhaps, but not scary. They look like the kids who hang out in the 'hood, but cooler. They dress baggy, down and street-chic, accessorizing with tattoos, caps, goatees and stylish sneakers. They pursue action hobbies such as skateboarding, wakeboarding and taggin'. Most have human form, but some have heads shaped like aerosol-can nozzles. Created from sketches, sculptured in clay and then modeled from plastic parts, each Lau doll is a piece of urban art.

But it is who wins the financial endgame that matters and in the case of Dragonfly, Costner wins with a salary of $15 million and that is no laughing matter...
...deductions have the effect of equalizing the differences in the awards. Critics have called this Feinberg's "Robin Hood strategy." For many people in the room, the number is now at or close to zero. Feinberg says he will make sure no one gets zero. "Leave it to me," he says. But nowhere will that be written into the rules when they are finalized in mid-February. Likewise, many fiances and gay partners will be at the mercy of Feinberg's discretion in seeking awards. Before finding out exactly what they will get--and the rules are complex--families will...
