- biomarkers
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is imperative for the prevention of disease progression and the development of effective treatments.
Clinically, AD diagnosis has been based on adherence to clinical criteria. It has recently been proposed that diagnostic criteria should also incorporate biomarker findings. However, the most studied candidates or group of candidates for AD biomarkers, including pathological processes and proteins, needs further research. The current study aimed to investigate the capabilities of the following plasma proteins in the diagnosis of AD and amnesia mild cognitive impairment (aMCI): peripheral interleukin (IL) 10, IL-6, amyloid-β (Aβ) 40, Aβ42, phosphorylated tau 181, and total tau.
In addition to 122 normal control (NC) group, 97 AD patients and 54 aMCI patients were recruited for this study. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze the concentration of the following blood plasma biomarkers: IL-10, IL-6, Aβ40, Aβ42, phosphorylated tau 181, and total tau.
A one-way analysis of variance (one-factor analysis of variance) of Aβ40 and IL-10 levels revealed a statistically significant difference between the three groups (p < 0.001 and p = 0.020). Using Aβ40 ≥ 42.70 pg/ml as the cut-off point, the sensitivity of the ability of Aβ40 to discriminate between AD and NC groups was 80.0%, and specificity was 69.6%.
The plasma Aβ40 biomarker was able to distinguish between AD and NC groups. However, the plasma biomarkers in the present research were not able to distinguish between aMCI and NC groups. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Six Market Blvd taking the stage in San Angelo
Six Market Blvd. from Stephenville returns to San Angelo to perform

Stephenville - based band, Six Market Blvd, will come to San Angelo to perform Saturday Nov. 10 at Blaine's Pub on Bryant Blvd.
"[Performing] is exciting, surreal and humbling," lead singer Clayton Landau said. "It is one thing to get in front of people and perform, but it's another to get in front of people and have them sing your songs back to you."
Six Market Blvd formed four years ago, and they have two released albums along with performances spread across Texas and Oklahoma.
"We all met through a combination of going to Tarleton State University in Stephenville and attending open mic night," Landau said.
The band's first show was at a Fourth of July party, and that kicked off their career, harmony and bass player Ben Hussey said.
"A big group of our friends came to watch us perform at Lake LBJ," Landau said. "For us to travel four hours was exciting. We were [anxious] to set up and pumped to learn the ropes as we went. It felt like we were big time."
Six Market Blvd is classified as Americana/ Folk Music even though they are in the Texas country market, Landau said.
"Folk music is kind of where we fit," Landau said. "Americana travels nation to worldwide so we are able to expand our songs."
The feeling the band members get when performing in front a large crowd is unbelievable and a blessing, Landau said.
"It is crazy to see people enjoy something we created out of an idea," Hussey said. "Seeing the way people react as we play is neat."
Landau and Hussey co-write the bands songs Landau said.
"Clayton was one of the few [musicians] writing original songs," Hussey said. "As a song writer myself, I appreciated Clayton's approach to writing."
The band members' families began to watch Six Market Blvd perform once their band took off, Landau said.
"[Family] comes when they can," Hussey said. "This past St. Patrick's Day there was a festival in Fort Worth that we played at. It was family friendly so my family was able to come out, and it was great to see them there."
Landau said he can recall the first time the band heard one of its songs on the radio.
"We were driving down the highway to a gig in Lubbock, and we heard one of our songs play on the radio," Landau said. "We couldn't believe it was on the radio. Not only were we hearing it, but whoever else was listening to that station at the time heard it."
Six Market Blvd is re-releasing their second album, Shake It Down, Nov. 20 with an additional bonus track, Landau said.
"When we released the album [the first time] we got a great response," Landau said. "There was a large amount of sales. We are hoping that the re-release will get more people involved. Not only are our fans involved, the people working with us are involved and want to help in every way possible."
The support from the fans is vital to the bands success and it encourages them to continue to perform Hussey said.
"Keep supporting live music," Hussey said. "We would not be able to do what we do without our fans. The longer we keep [performing] the better."
When Six Market Blvd. first formed, they set goals hoping to achieve each one as the band grew, Landau said.
"When we started, we had a handful of goals and we have already achieved most of those goals," Hussey said. "Now we are going to have to think of new ones. We are really grateful for the support."
Six Market Blvd's 2013 tour will kick off in Steamboat Springs, Colorado at the MusicFest making the beginning of their tour over the top, Landau said.
"This is going to be great," Hussey said. "[The band] has been to [the MusicFest] before to see what it is like. It is a real honor to be asked to play. We have lots of friends that will be performing also, so spending a week with them in the mountains will be fun."

Booksellers at Laurelwood banks on print never fading away
After school Wednesday, Marion resident John Baxter traveled across the river to newly renovated Booksellers at Laurelwood, bought a New York Times and settled in at the cozy reading area.
The 49-year-old civics and economics teacher makes the trip a time or two a week.
"It's the last bastion of civilization in some of our communities," the 20-year customer said of bookstores. "They are a cultural anchor."
The popular East Memphis bookstore formerly known as Davis-Kidd Booksellers is one cultural anchor Memphis nearly lost in a weeklong tempest last spring.
The old Joseph-Beth Booksellers chain, which purchased Davis-Kidd in 1997, had gone bankrupt, liquidators bought the 24,000-square-foot store at auction, and the bookstore seemed doomed.
That stoked a public outcry, especially through media websites. Davis-Kidd wasn't just another business to longtime customers who'd developed relationships with seasoned staff members, 13 of whom have worked there more than 10 years.
At the brink, Joseph-Beth's leader, Neil Van Uum of Cincinnati, managed to buy back Davis-Kidd from the liquidator with the support of Laurelwood Shopping Center landlord Tom Prewitt.
Now seven months later, Van Uum has invested about $500,000 renovating and reorganizing the bookstore and its restaurant, The Booksellers Bistro.
"It's definitely been a challenge," Van Uum said. "Everything turned on a dime over three days back then and the Memphis store was obviously going to close. I just took a leap and said that's not really right.
"To say we had a plan together would be a stretch. I just felt that with 25 years of experience I could figure it out."
Having lost the rights to keep the Davis-Kidd name, Van Uum came up with "The Booksellers at Laurelwood'' to emphasize the store's biggest strength: The experienced staff and customer service.
The renovation features new carpet, new paint with lighter, brighter colors, new fixtures, renovated bathrooms, an expanded children's section, and an overhaul of the cafe.
Giving a tour, general manager Eddie Burton said the store has a lighter, airier feel, with shorter book cases. The shelves have been moved away from windows to let the light flow inside.
Some things, like the music CD and DVD section, have been shrunk. Other things have moved. For example, the cookbook section is now a natural neighbor to the bistro.
The restaurant had become "very tired," Van Uum said. "We've really taken the restaurant up a few notches." In addition to a greater focus on wines and more entrees, the bistro integrates more with the bookstore through live music and other events.
The other big change has come to the children's department. It's now 50 percent larger, and much more active with programming, Van Uum said, adding, "It's almost like an independent children's store.''
Of course, the bigger challenge isn't competing bookstores. They've been fading away all around the city, from Bookstar to the west to Borders on the east.
The bigger test comes from the technology threatening bookstores everywhere. They compete against the easy computer click to buy both books and e-book downloads on the Internet.
Just last week, best-selling author Ann Patchett made national news in Nashville, where the original Davis-Kidd had closed. Patchett and a partner opened a 2,500-square-foot bookstore, Parnassus Books, to bolster's Nashville's bookstore scene.
It's 10 times smaller than The Booksellers at Laurelwood and has 10 employees compared with The Booksellers' 45.
Van Uum's optimistic vision draws partly from his own, yearlong experience with his iPad.
He tries to read 10 books a month, and until about six months ago had read a fair amount of them on his tablet.
But he grew to realize that it just felt better to get away from a screen and hold a book. Many people who spend so much time on a computer don't want to go home and read more on computers, he said.
There's no computer substitute for the experience of browsing the shelves of a bookstore. About two-thirds of the books sold by The Booksellers at Laurelwood were bought only after customers happened upon them; the customers had not arrived intending to buy them, Van Uum said.
"There's always going to be a market for books," he said. "Frankly, we need the support of the Memphis reading community to come in and look at books and buy them. ...
"I feel we invested and created a place that's even more entertaining and interesting. We'll just count on the support of our community to continue to keep the store viable."
Van Uum plans eventually to become a Memphis resident. Flying here from Cincinnati weekly the past two months for work, he's been looking at neighborhoods near the store in East Memphis, Midtown and Downtown. But his youngest daughter is a junior in high school, so, he said, "I'll spend the next year and a half going back and forth."

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

In the next breath, she jokes that her life's purpose is to annoy her friends — to twirl their hair or otherwise get in their faces. She laughs about a clumsy moment at the Senior Dinner Dance, when she slipped and slid on the stairs.
"I bounced back up," recalls Cowen.
The 18-year-old senior, who will graduate on Friday and plans to attend Emmanuel College in the fall, is artistic and athletic and not a slouch in academics, either.
She's one of only three seniors who studied fine arts all four years. Some of the best pieces she made in her honors/advanced placement art class this year are on display in the school's gallery. There's a life-sized self-portrait, her long brown hair drawn into braids, her smile wide and her slim frame in running clothes. There are still life drawings of onions and chess figurines, and a piece of Egyptian pottery with her name and the phrase "I am woman" on the bottom.
She hasn't mastered clay, Cowen says, and is still freaked out by a clay mask she made during freshman year. That scary piece, she says, looks like an alien that had too much liposuction, and is hiding behind a plant in the living room of her family's home in Uncasville. But drawing has always come naturally to her, and by studying art in school, she says, "I thought I could doodle in class and not get in trouble."
Running all four years on St. Bernard's cross-country and indoor and outdoor track teams also let her get away with something.
"I can eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's (ice cream) in one day and not feel guilty," she boasts. She's so slender, the school nurse once asked her if she was having trouble eating, remembers Rebecca's father, Tim Cowen. He was grateful for the school's concern for his daughter, but said she doesn't let a plate get past her when food's being served around the dinner table. Father and daughter like to run together, and about 1 1/2 years ago, she started to beat him at races.
Cowen and her close friend Melissa Maciag were co-captains of the track team this season and have been inseparable off the field as well. They attended running camp together during the summer, wear the same size clothes and just kind of seem to "click on everything," says Maciag. Their circle of friends is talking about taking a morning off in the next few weeks to help Cowen master one of her admitted weaknesses.
"Our big inside joke is one day we're going to go over and clean her room," says Maciag. "It's atrocious."
Another thing Cowen says she "stinks" at is any sport involving hand-eye coordination. So don't ask her to play golf. But she can really get "pumped" about running.
Cowen says she had to study hard to do well in her classes, but that the teachers at St. Bernard's were always willing to work with her outside of class.
"She's not the top student, but she's certainly a diligent student," says Maria Decsy, director of guidance.
On the athletic front, track Coach Troy Sessoms said students like Rebecca, who stick with a sport for all four years, earn a special place in his heart. He said she is a tremendous leader who knows how to motivate her teammates. And she's one of the better runners.
"She's worked extremely hard to get to the level she's at," Sessoms said.
Cowen hopes to minor in art history at college and get some work experience at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. She's considering a major in history, and would like to work for the History Channel or for a museum one day. She said her high school years flew by and she'll miss the small, caring community of St. Bernard. But she looks forward to good times ahead, and plans to begin her summer with a trip to Lake George.
Cowen lives in Uncasville and is the youngest of Sherry Timothy Cowen III and Frances Cowen's five children. Her father is a retired Navy commander. She was born while he was stationed at the Fort Ord navy base in Monterrey, Calif. The family moved to New London a short time later, and Rebecca attended St. Mary Star of the Sea school through seventh grade. She went to St. Bernard's Academy for eighth grade.
Rebecca and her mother both work in the produce section at the Shop Rite supermarket in New London. With work, school and sports, she's pretty busy, but she likes to watch television, draw and talk on the phone in her spare time. She has a couple of pieces of advice for incoming freshmen.
"Try your best in your classes and have fun," she says. "And keep your old notebooks."
The teachers at St. Bernard's will miss her.
"She has a joyful spirit, and even when things get rough, she rises to the challenge," says David Belval, the school's coordinator of fine arts.
"She's one of these people that's always there behind the scenes and never pushing forward to be recognized," he continues. "...She definitely goes out of her way to help people have a great day."

desperate to maintain its momentum as an innovator. Could be good for Corning.
I've been holding out for #$%$ Tracy's two-way wrist radio for a long time; but now with Apple hinting at releasing one, I'm thinking it can't really look like a traditional watch at all. Wouldn't that be too small to operate? So I'm guessing it would be Corning's Willow Glass somehow strapped around one's forearm. At least the size of today's phones, since I believe they are the smallest screens we can deal with. Any thoughts?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not sure how practical the concept is but for techies it could turn out to be a must have.

=guymez;55699757]Some notes on the game....
Really too bad to see Nichols go down the way he did...haven't heard anything yet but hopefully it isn't serious. It looked really bad though.
Haven't read through the thread at all but I am sure there are a few constants....Replacement finding every excuse for Joseph and refusing to acknowledge the fact that Ray owned the Esks in this game.
Maybe read the thread first. Its no secret I would've pulled Joseph at the first quarter after giving Nichols a brief look at proceedings from the bench where he could properly assess what the Argos were doing.
Looks like that approach could've been pretty successful.
Ray "Owned" the Esks" We didn't require him to do anything but the most standard passes, short gainers and awful tacking and self destructed on our own. His two passing TD's generated were from the esks 25, and 35 yd line respectively. As if it were OT segments.. Even at that he required an interception to be overturned to get one of the TD's
The key in this game was to rush, pressure, sack, and hit Ray. We did none of the above playing right into his hands.
Must be nice for Ray to shove it down the Esks throats after one of the worst trades in Esks history.
Would be nicer if Ray played anything like this in his last half dozen years here.
Its inexplicable why Joseph played an entire half. He must have someone like Replacement whispering in his ear about how great Joseph is because I honestly do not get why Reed cant or wont acknowledge the obvious.
Way to be classy guy. We all suffered through this game. Good to look in the thread though and see yet more posters taking shots at Esks fans.
Enjoy cheering for the Argos

Sooooo someone's making Titanic 2: Mermaid Saviors. There's a casting call for it on Craigslist, which means I can only assume it's absolutely legit. You want to audition? Shave and oil your legs and slip those flippers on for your big shot on July 1st and 2nd. "Actors with mermaid and under water acting experience are highly desirable." The synopsis straight from the source:"The film begins moments after the sinking of the Titanic. All who have drowned are brought back to life by a futuristic race of mermaids, called the Mantocks, who welcome the humans to their underwater paradise. Soon after, JACK DAWSON is elected king of the underwater humans. DAWSON requests that all humans be returned above water, a request that is denied by KING MANTROCK. The humans are slowly brainwashed into worshiping their mermaid saviors. Meanwhile, the sunken TITANIC has become a haunted underwater wasteland inhabited by RAGGARO and his band of mermaid pirates. Will the humans ever free themselves from their mermaid slavery? Will the mermaid pirates wage war on Mantock?"I'm going to go out on a limb and say this could possibly be the best movie ever. When was the last time we saw a decent mermaid war waged on film, or video, or whatever they're going to shoot this thing on? I don't care what anyone says, tridents are a true mermaid man pirate's weapon of choice. Now let's take this sunken ship by force! **Stabs cheese cubes with three-pronged fork, dives into kiddy pool** (Cinematical)
2010 has been the year of the "ex-military heroes out to do good…or evil." With The Losers already having left the cineplex, The A-Team due out this Friday, and The Expendables arriving later in the summer, we've been inundated with rock 'em, sock 'em gub'ment agents turned rogue.We decided to take a closer look at how all our favorite groups of mercenaries (those that used to do government work, that is) are related to each other – in a sort of "on and off the silver screen" way.
Douche lovers around the world have been salivating since December when rumors of an "Entourage" movie began to surface. Now, producer Mark Wahlberg has laid out some specifics, saying that the show will most likely last two more seasons before it's made into a feature film. He also dropped hints about possible plans for a wildly original plot. "In the trailer, you see [Ari Gold and his associate, Lloyd] waking up together in Vegas not knowing what happened," Wahlberg imagined. "It would be pretty cool!" Jesus Christ? As long as we're blatantly ripping off Vegas movies, why not go the Casino route and have Vince and the gang beaten to death in a secluded cornfield? That would be even funnier than the time Drama banged the furry (LOL!), mainly because they'd all be bleeding and gasping for air (LMAO)! (First Showing)
Joe Carnahan's directing style (blowing things up punctuated by a character saying, "BOOM!," punctuated by boobs) has foolishly drawn the pity of Mr. T. The original B.A. Baracus saw an advance screening of The A-Team remake and was shocked by how graphic it is. T angrily yelled into a WENN reporter's tape recorder:"People die in the film and there's plenty of sex but when we did it, no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment. These seem to be elements nobody is interested in anymore. It was too graphic for me. I've no doubt it will do big business at the box office but it's nothing like the show we turned out every week." Haha. I don't know about you but that quote just sold me on seeing the movie. Mr. T is a natural born salesman whether he tries to be or not. **eats a heaping spoonful of stale Mr. T cereal from 1986**
Goonies 2: Cruise ControlIn a recent interview with Movie Mikes, Corey Feldman pulled a Shia Lebeouf by trashing his last sequel, Lost Boys 2: The Tribe, and then immediately talking up the next installment, Lost Boys 3: The Thirst. That usally raises a red flag, but after watching the latest trailer for the film, all of my fears were put to rest…NOT!Yes, I just used a horribly outdated Wayne's World catch phrase. But at least Wayne's World had some relevance within the last 20 years. That's more than can be said for The Lost Boys, which hasn't been popular in over two decades.That's not to say Lost Boys 3 looks completely terrible. I'm sure it's a lot more palatable than the Twilight movies all those damn kids keep going on about. And the story of a group of vampire hunters raiding an LA nightclub in order to shoot and kill all of the undead patrons seems cool. It reminds me of a reoccurring dream I've been having, except for all the vampire stuff. (DreadCentral)
Or Little Person Mr. T, if you wanna get all P.C. about it.
"Not now, ScreenJunkies."News broke today that Stanley Tucci will break out the ol' mustache and wear an Albert Einstein costume and appear in Captain America: The First Avenger. In the film he will play Dr. Abraham Erskine, Captain America's dad. Well, not his biological dad but the scientist who creates him. Like Pinnochio's Geppetto or Megaman's Dr. Light or Johnny Five's Steve Guttenberg.He'll be joining the previously-cast Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones, Sebastian Stan and Neal McDonough. (THR)
You can watch your unborn child on your new iPhone, yo!After Steve Jobs announced the release of the iPhone 4 today, he premiered the new commercial "FaceTime" directed by Sam Mendes of American Beauty and Road to Perdition fame. The spot showcases the video conferencing capabilities of the new slimmer device. You can now help your friends decide on what outfit to wear, or watch from across the world as your baby takes her first steps. Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound depressing. This is advanced technology. Show me a smile!Check out the spot at Apple HERE.
Born and raised in Etobicoke, Canada, Katheryn Winnick trained extensively in the martial arts growing up. She currently holds a third-degree Black Belt in tae kwan do, a second-degree Black Belt in karate, and is a licensed bodyguard. Talk about a killer! Am I right or am I right or am I right?! A word from Katheryn: "I love roles that are strong and manipulative, thats why I became an actress."Funny, that's the reason I love being a man. More pics of Katheryn manipulating you with her body after the jump.
Justin Long and Mike White put together this amusing video in support of gay marriage. The message is simple: If you disagree with the homosexual lifestyle, why not overturn Prop 8 and make them get married, like the rest of us? Everyone deserves the right to be miserable and stuck in a monotonous blessed union. They also deserve the right to own a veiny penis surfboard. Check out the PSA after the jump.
I haven't been too impressed by what we've seen from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, but I'll admit I may have been too quick to judge. In this first clip we see Michael Cera attempt to square-off against Chris Evans's action-star Lucas Lee. Since Lee is a Hollywood A-lister, Pilgrim will have to contend with his team of stunt doubles first. It's a pretty clever clip and the fight choreography is pretty slick. Plus, it fulfills my post-Nick and Norah desire to see Michael Cera cracked over the head with a skateboard by a gang of Amish. Edgar Wright is a genius!Check out the clip after the jump…
This action movie montage by director/editor Jacob Bricca pretty much sums up what we love at Screen Junkies. Granted, it could have more gratuitous nudity in it, but the riotous 4 minutes of in your face action puts your body in fight or flight mode so you completely forget about sex and you only care about SURVIVAL!!! I don't want to ruin the video by explaining the explosions and punches with my words. Just watch it and get jacked up this Monday morning. It's like a coffee enema for your eyeballs. Or something. Strap in and check out the montage below.
For those who missed it, Aziz Ansari rented a child's tux and hosted the 2010 Extended Twilight Saga: Eclipse Commercial last night and it was off the (insert current slang)! Girls kissed for attention, Tom Cruise stole Ben Stiller's act, and some people went home with awards. And some of them weren't even in Twilight.The Twilight Saga: New Moon swept of course, taking home five awards for Best Picture, Best Male and Female Performance, Best Kiss, and the Global Superstar Award. Anna Kendrick picked up a Golden Popcorn for her breakout in Up In The Air, and Beyonce and Ali Larter won Best Fight for Obsessed. And good for them. Larter trained with Yuen Wo-ping for 4 months to learn how to properly rip a bitch's weave.FULL LIST OF "WINNERS" AFTER THE JUMP….
While Ghostbusters 3 is seeming less and less likely, another ghoul film from the 80's may be getting closer to a sequel. Actor Michael Keaton has expressed interest in reprising his role of Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most.When asked about the possibility, Keaton replied, "Absolutely, that's the one thing I'd love to do again." I would have guessed that the "one thing" Keaton would have chosen to revisit would have been Mr. Mom, or maybe Gung Ho. But that's just me.Considering his Beetle Juice co-star Geena Davis has already expressed interest, it's probably only a matter of time before a studio throws money at yet another 80's nostalgia project. Of course, this is provided Alec Baldwin isn't too busy with "30 Rock," and Winona Ryder isn't too busy shoplifting! Zing! That joke is just as relevant as it was nine years ago! (DeadCentral)
"Dream On," Lord Voldemort. Dream until your dreams come true.Despite all the f-bombs and phony homosexual make-out sessions, the MTV Movie Awards still managed to find something for the kids: a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In the final installment of the franchise, Harry Potter prepares for the ultimate showdown with Lord Voldemort, better known as Aerosmith's Steven Tyler without the wig and prosthetic nose. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Watch the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer after the jump.
OMG! Did you see that Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson made out at the MTV Movie Awards!?! I was all like WTF? Then I was LMAO! And then I farted. If it was 1994, I guess this would have been shocking. But it's 2010, and thanks in no small part to MTV, our society has been desensitized to the point where Sandra would need to pull out a strap-on for anyone to bat an eye. In a world where hardcore lesbian pornography is only a "redtube" away, is this sort of "stunt" really necessary? Tune in next week for another minute with Andy Rooney. Watch Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson lock lips (not the good kind) after the jump (at the 4 minute mark).
"Kali ma… Kali ma… Kali ma, shakthi deh!"Sandra Bullock's trophy case is growing decreasingly impressive. The Oscar-winner is slated to receive the MTV Generation Award at tonight's Movie Awards, and picked up a "Troops Choice Entertainer Of the Year Award" at Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards last night."Let's be honest here, just for a moment. We're all going to be honest, right?" Bullock quipped. "Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. explosion that became my personal life?" This drew a hearty laugh for Sgt. First Class Santiago. And then a low, nervous laugh as his fingers absent-mindedly stroked the plastic where his thigh used to be.Ms. Bullock looked stunning in a tight black leather Elie Saab knee-length dress, Casadei heels and lack of forehead tattoos. (E! Online)
Screen Junkies attended Spike TV's "Guy's Choice" Awards last night and had the opportunity to shoot a few questions at director Todd Phillips on the red carpet. He was nice enough to not ignore us, even though we don't have epic cleavage or piercing blue eyes (like Bradley Cooper. Ooooooh, Bradley). Here's what Phillips had to say about The Hangover 2, specifically the release date, and his upcoming film Due Date, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zack Galifianakis. What up with The Hangover 2?"We're going to start shooting end of October and it comes out Memorial Day next year."MORE FROM PHILLIPS AFTER THE JUMP.
Let's raid some tombs!Noted pornographer and reality television mainstay Kim Kardashian is in talks to star in a reboot of Tomb Raider, according to "Hollywood insiders." Of course, the term "Hollywood insider" is often applied to forty-year-old bloggers who still collect their dead mothers' Social Security checks, so take it for what it's worth.If the rumors are true, the film will reportedly be shot in 3D and will be aimed at a "teen" audience, a brilliant move considering how much teens love giant bouncing breasts.Kardashian would also play "something very different to Angelina's Lara," which we can only assume means there will be even less talking and even more interracial-sex.

Snoop Dogg wields his lizzle sizzle. Adidas wants you to buy their Star Wars Originals collection, so LucasFilm made this two minute commercial that doesn't feature shoes. It stars Snoop Dogg, Daft Punk, David Beckham, Jay Baruchel, Ciara, and others in the Cantina Scene from Star Wars. My only question is, why do the patrons give the black guy trouble? If they're racist, which they clearly are, they should have known the brother would be packin' heat. Check out the spot after the jump.
Looks like China's a little bit touchy about that whole being a communist superpower thing. A state-run paper is miffed that producers of Red Dawn have chosen to villify them in the upcoming remake, instead of the Soviet Union as they did in the original. Problem is, there is no Soviet Union anymore. We crushed them after watching the original Red Dawn. Oh hey, I think I see their point."Despite the world's focus on U.S.-China relations in the strategic and economic dialogue and their increasing economic connections, China can still feel U.S. distrust and fear, especially among its people. Americans' suspicions about China are the best ground for the hawks to disseminate fear and doubt, which is the biggest concern with the movie Red Dawn."Oh, poor wittle China. Gonna cry? Gonna cry?? China gonna cry? Wh-what are you doing?? No, put that tank back. I was just blogging in a snarky manner. The internet demands it!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! (via Cinematical)
Rob Reiner, or Big-Boned Spielberg as he prefers to be called (probably), is back with a quaint coming of age tale. Flipped tells the classic story: boy meets girl, boy discovers porno, boy settles for girl, girl has a weird forehead. It really is an ageless tale. What the hell is this? With a name like Flipped and Reiner attached, I'd assume this is some kind of pancake porn. Where's my syrup shot?! Flipped opens in theaters August 6th. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER AFTER THE JUMP…
I trust your meterological news implicitly.
"Brother?!"There were too many similarities in these stories to avoid lumping them together in one Ogre Round-Up.Brett Ratner – wants to produce an "edgy 3D re-imagining" of the famous Brothers Grimm story "Snow White." "This is not your grandfather's Snow White," Ratner said. "Melisa (person with boobs who writes words on paper) went back to the 500 year old folk tale and put in some of the things that were missing from Walt Disney's film. His dwarves were miners, and here they are robbers. There is also a dragon that was in the original folk tale. Walt made one of the great movies of all time, but ours is edgy and there is more comedy. The original, made for its time, was soft compared to what we're going to do." a.k.a. This sh*t is gonna be gangsta! (Deadline)Shrek – could be poisoning children with more than just his vulgar reparté. McDonald's is being forced to recall 12 million Shrek drinking glasses because they contain the toxic metal cadmium, a known carcinogen that can cause bone softening and severe kidney problems. Brett Ratner has learned to live with these conditions, so all 12 million glasses will be shipped to his mansion along with a dump truck full of golden french fries as a thank you. (Movieline)
Natalina Maggio has starred in a bunch of TV shows as characters credited as "Model," "Cheerleader," "Bikini Girl," and "Persian Porn Star." In Get Him to the Greek she plays "Hot Club Dancer." If Natalina keeps climbing the ladder this quickly it won't be long before she lands the role of "Attractive Restaurant Hostess."A word from Natalina: Models and Bikini Girls don't speak in public. More reasons why Natalina plays hot girls after the jump.

He's previously denied his involvement with the project, but he's ready to talk now that the pieces are falling into place. Will this disclude him from appearing in PT Anderson's The Master? Let's see? Dress up as the Marvel Universe's archery guy or piss off all the Scientologists in Hollywood? Here's a pile of cash and a brochure for archery lessons. (THR)NEAL McDONOUGH – is in talks to play Dum Dum Dugan in Joe Johnston's Captain America. Dugan is a member of the Howling Commandos and Nick Fury's second-in-command.

Director: Rob LettermanCast: Jack Black, Emily Blunt, T.J. Miller, Amanda PeetSynopsis: In a contemporary re–imagining of the classic tale, Jack Black stars as Gulliver, a big–talking mailroom clerk who, after he's mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people.Release Date: December 22, 2010
Samantha and her new bo get frisky!Just yesterday, it seemed as if Sex and the City's destruction was all but assured. With poor box-office returns, a rapidly aging cast and the death of Rue McClanahan (a.k.a. Samantha), another film seemed out of the question. But much like Skynet from the Terminator series, SATC is launching a last-ditch effort to escape oblivion by fleeing into the past.New Line has expressed interest in adapting SATC author Candace Bushnell's follow-up series, "The Carrie Diaries," into a prequel, allowing for a "new and younger-skewing collection of films." Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that Bushnell herself has expressed interest in Miley Cyrus as a possible lead.Unless we want to see Sex and the City continue to plague mankind for generations to come, this prequel must be stopped. For he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past…or something like that. (CinemaBlend)
Daniel Craig hasn't made a movie since 2008, but it looks as if his schedule is about to fill up fast. The actor best known as James Bond is close to nabbing the part of Mikael Blomkvist in David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The film is the first in a three-part series based on the crime novels of Stieg Larsson, and Craig is expected to sign on for all three installments.Rumor has it that Brad Pitt was close to landing the role, but was "edged out" when a bikini-clad Craig showed up at David Fincher's house and offered to wash the director's car. Fincher filmed the wash, and was so impressed by Craig's physique the he offered him the job on the spot. True story. (Collider)

O Say Can You See: The Greatest Patriotic Super Heroes of All-Time
Comic Books
Showing results 1718-1737 of 2133
"Black Widow: Deadly Origin" mixes the past and present together, but for those who read closely, you'll be well rewarded.
"Punishermax" is almost like reading a mature readers "Ultimate Kingpin" origin, but in this case I'm offering that up as a compliment.
New Avengers Annual" #3 is all right, if you don't mind it not needing to be an Annual or that it spoils another, yet-to-be-published comic. Oops.
"Nation X" is another one of the mutant anthology mini-series that Marvel likes so much, but it doesn't quite hit its mark.
What happens when a stagnant society refuses to change?
For a character that no one post-Steve Ditko has made terribly interesting, Mark Waid and Emma Rios are giving their best shot.
"Black Widow and the Marvel Girls" is one of the odder books I've seen in a while, but the one thing it's missing is a point.
"JSA All-Stars" has a more manageable cast size than the old "Justice Society of America" book, but we'll see how it goes from here.
Emma Frost says it's all about her, even as simmering subplots move to the foreground.
It's an interesting idea, but at the end of the first issue it's still more stunt and less story.
Killing off half your cast isn't a surefire way to stir up your comic, but in this case it seems to have worked.
Middle issues are often where things slow down, and while "Blackest Night" does that for a bit, it's already picking the pace back up for a good cliffhanger.
"X-Men: Legacy" is currently telling good old-fashioned superhero stories, and I'm down with that kind of fun.
This issue of "Supergirl" isn't really about Supergirl at all, but that said it is still enjoyable.
At the end of the day, "The Unspoken" ends with an uninspired fight scene.
"Realm of Kings: Inhumans" is giving the political intrigue I was hoping for; with any luck, it won't devolve into fight scenes.
In what is surely to be the strangest "Blackest Night" tie-in, the joke is getting a little old.
"Realm of Kings" kicks off here, but is it wrong that I'm feeling a little event fatigued?
"Booster Gold" uses up all the extra pages this month in a "Blackest Night" tie-in that features a rather apt guest hero as well as undead villain.
A slightly disappointing issue of "Batman and Robin," but even here there still glimmers of excellence.

The Runnymede

Your Reviews
"Loads for families to do in a modern, riverfront setting…"
If you look at Google Maps, the location of the Runnymede looks handy, but not that exciting, situated just a few minutes off the M25. But you need to get down to street view, because in reality this riverfront hotel's in a beautiful spot along prime Thames river territory.
The sister hotel to the blingier Grove in Watford, the Runnymede is a super family-friendly hotel which goes out of its way to look after its smaller guests.
We stayed in one of their riverside apartments - a huge, modern room complete with separate children's bedroom complete with its own TV, and with riverfront views. There was also a dining table area and really comfy sofa for snuggling up on and watching the various gin palaces float past.
There's an enormous amount of things for children to do here, and all of the facilities appeared to be brand-new and very well kept. We were here during the summer holidays with good weather, so a lot of our time was spent in the huge fenced-off outdoors pool which has lifeguards, plenty of toys and lots of lovely big sun beds for parents to stretch out on. There's also a small splash pool alongside it for little ones.
Across from the pool area is a lovely playground and there's also a junior gym trail for more energetic kids along with three tennis courts. If the weather isn't playing ball, the indoor spa complex with a large swimming pool also has family swimming times and children over 8 can enjoy the jacuzzi and sauna/steam rooms.
As a riverfront hotel, the Runnymede keeps several of their own motorboats which can be hired out by guests. They're very easy to operate and we took ours out - complete with hotel picnic - up the river to Windsor castle. Adults and over 16s will love the hottug - a floating hottub that motors up and down the river. It has to be seen to be believed!
The hotel has two large restaurants and we tried out both. The leftbank is most family friendly, operating a ducklings supper for early evening dining with kids able to order their own pizzas with whatever topping they'd like. The food is served buffet-style here, so you can sort the children out first with everything from rotisserie chicken to pasta dishes before helping yourself to the salad or sushi bar.
We also had a dinner at the more grown-up lock bar and kitchen. There's a children's menu here, but there was also plenty of the main menu for more adventurous older children to enjoy.
One of the handiest things about the Runnymede is its location, being so close to numerous theme parks. Legoland, Chessington and Thorpe Park are all within a short drive, so this is a great base if you're planning to visit any of them.
All in all, the Runnymede comes highly recommended - friendly staff, large modern rooms and state of the art family-friendly play areas make it well worth visiting.
Mumsnet were invited to stay at The Runnymede.Read moreLess

2006 Honda Civic Q&A
2006 Honda Civic Question: 2006 Honda Civic Engine Crack Issue
I have read on several websites that there are quite a few Civic owners who have maintained their engine well but end up with a cracked block requiring a total engine replacement. The average mileage is around 90,0000 miles. I am concerned about the frequency of this happening before I buy a used 2006 Civic. Any thoughts or history on this? - Visitor

Answer 1
Don't do it! Honda will not stand behind their product. My 2006 Civic has a cracked block even though I have properly maintained my vehicle. The dealer said at 107,593 miles, it's out of warrenty so they are not liable for any repairs. The service manager acted like he did me a favor by contacting Honda to see if they might be able to reduce the cost for me. I "only" have to $1100. I get no loaner to use while my car is being repaired. I feel that as this problem is rampantly widespread, it clearly indicates a defective product. Hence, I should not have to pay anything! - Visitor
Answer 3
I have a 2006 Honda Civic. The engine cracked at less than 40,000 miles. My daughter also has a 2006 Honda Civic. Her engine cracked at 69,000 miles. We both are very mindful of maintenance. Run!!! - Visitor
Answer 4
I had the same problem with my 2007 Civic EX. Call American Honda to get goodwill reimbursement. They offered me 90% so far, but I am not budging for less than 95% This is not a maintenance/neglect issue. It is a known defect from Honda related to TSB 08-044. My repair cost total $7000. Median cost of repairs is $4500. Forward this number to everyone you know having this problem! CALL NHTSA 1800 327 4236 TO LOG COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOUR VEHICLES DEFECT! IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS WILL GET INVESTIGATED TO BECOME A RECALL!!! THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 20 LOGGED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT! COPY THIS MESSAGE AND LET EVERYONE YOU KNOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO REPORT IT. IF YOU CALL IN TO NHTSA (NATIONAL HIGHWAY, TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY ASSOCIATION) IT ONLY TAKES 10 MINUTES TO LOG A FORMAL COMPLAINT. HAVE YOUR VIN # READY! GET TOGETHER ON THIS. DO NOT PAY FOR HONDA'S MISTAKES, AND IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, LET'S MOVE TOGETHER FOR A REIMBURSEMENT!!! - gborrego9
Answer 5
this is an issue for this engine.the blocks were not made thick enough at the water jaskets on the back and front of the block but i just dont understand how we have become such a whiny society that we cant take ownership of a car at 100k plus mileage jesus its just a man made product.and one of the best on the planet.yes honda will usually give some goodwill but if you dont take that offer of 90% they will be completely in thier right to tell you forget it then. - pw.hondatech
Answer 6
I bought my EX in November 2006 with 7800 miles. Just turned 175,000 this week. I put over ~800 miles a week commuting for work. No issues with the car whatsoever. Best car I have ever owned. - Visitor
