A classic example of the blind faith in scientific speculation required by Scientism is on display in a discussion of the role of comets in the origin of life. Speculation about a possible connection between comets and the origin of life has been around for decades. The discovery of a cloud of debris near a star 60 light years away has been the latest occasion for such speculations. Headlines have described the discovery in quite sensational terms; for example, FoxNews.com brazenly declared, "Strong Evidence Life Spread by Comets, Astronomers Say." However, the finding, though intriguing, is far less dramatic. The discovery of a band of dust around Eta Corvi hundreds of trillions of miles from Earth has led astronomers to speculate how that band was formed. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was responsible for spotting the band, and the facts were more modestly described by the American space agency: Now Spitzer has spotted a band of dust around a nearby bright star in the northern sky called Eta Corvi that strongly matches the contents of an obliterated giant comet. This dust is located close enough to Eta Corvi that Earth-like worlds could exist, suggesting a collision took place between a planet and one or more comets. The Eta Corvi system is approximately one billion years old, which researchers think is about the right age for such a hailstorm.
A historic and highly controversial prisoner swap between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has Middle East observers predicting a fresh wave of violence and attacks against the Jewish nation. On October 18, Israel freed 477 Palestinians it had captured over the past 30 years in the ongoing conflict over land claimed by Israel since the famed 1967 Six-Day War. Its reported prize in return for the prisoners — along with the promised release of several hundred more over the next year — was one lone Israeli soldier, 25-year-old Gilad Shalit (pictured at left), who had been held by Hamas since his capture more than five years ago. Shalit, reportedly the only Israeli soldier released by Hamas in some 26 years, said that he always believed he would be freed one day, adding that he was happy for the Palestinians to be released "if they don't return to fight us. I very much hope that this deal will advance peace." Such a hope appears to be futile. As the hundreds of terrorists and others were freed, many expressed their eagerness to be cycled back into the terrorist attacks for which their parent organization is well known. "As long as there is going to be occupation over all of Palestine, martyrs will be there to resist and to fight, and I will be among the first of the strugglers," Wafa al-Bis, one of the freed prisoners, told the UK's Daily Telegraph. The 27-year-old young woman was captured in 2005 as she was on her way to an Israeli hospital to detonate 22 pounds of explosives hidden on her body. "This is an honorable thing and I would be a suicide bomber three times over if I could," she proclaimed.
For Zubaida Bibi, a Christian woman working in a garment factory in the Korangi Industrial Area of Karachi, Pakistan, the workday on October 12 at Crescent Enterprises probably began like most. Her job as a custodian helped make it possible for her to care for her children. But before her shift was over, a Muslim worker at the factory attempted to rape her, and then slit her throat, leaving four orphans without a mother to care for them. And the case of Zubaida Bibi is far from unique: In Pakistan, the phenomena of Islamic men raping Christian women is becoming more common. An October 18 story for PakistanChristianPost.com relates some of the details of the tragic death of Zubaida Bibi: On October 12, 2011, during duty hours, Zubaida Bibi entered to clean factory bathrooms when one Muslim employee named Mohammad Asif followed her and locked door behind him. When Mohammad Asif attempted to sexually assault Zubaida Bibi, she cried for help on which Mohammad Asif took out a dagger and slit the throat of Zubaida Bibi. The factory management called police help and Mohammad Asif was arrested on crime scene where throat cut dead body of Zubaida Bibi was lying on floor.
Former Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi was killed by militia groups during a battle to take the loyalist stronghold city of Sirte, National Transitional Council (NTC) officials announced on Thursday. His bloody body was then reportedly dragged through the streets. Conflicting accounts of what may have happened flooded the press in the early hours of October 20. Most reports suggested, however, that a convoy carrying a fleeing Gadhafi and his top aides was bombed by NATO war planes after revolutionary forces overran most of Sirte. Citing a variety of rebel fighters and war correspondents, some accounts claimed the tyrant had been wounded but captured alive. Other narratives said Gadhafi died from injuries sustained during a battle. And a few reports even suggested he was alive and well, though several videos would appear to contradict the notion. Footage posted online showed revolutionary fighters shooting bullets into the air and celebrating as a man resembling Gadhafi lay lifeless and covered in blood. Chants of "Allah akbar" reportedly erupted among revolutionary fighters across Libya.
While high unemployment persists and the U.S. economy remains stubbornly flat, Washington, D.C. now hails as the nation's wealthiest metropolitan area, according to new data from the Census Bureau. Dethroning Silicon Valley from its royal chair, the hometown of Congress and the White House is flourishing, as the median household income for Washington residents stood at $84,523 in 2010, when the nation's average household income was $50,046. The data shows that San Jose, home of Apple and Cisco Systems, held an average income of $83,944 in 2010, falling from $84,483 in 2009, and now riding on the coattails of America's political stronghold. Federal worker compensation last year averaged $126,369 (including healthcare and other benefits), a more than $3,500 increase from 2009, and as of June, the D.C. area had 170,467 federal employees. According to a Bloomberg analysis, the nearly $35,000 disparity in income largely attributes to a high concentration of lawyers and federal workers whose earnings far exceed $100,000 a year. The data illustrates how the political elite continues to thrive — while overall poverty in the area remains high — as the U.S. economy remains stagnant and unemployment maintains its 9 percent mark. "There's a gap that's isolating Washington from the reality of the rest of the country," asserted Kevin Zeese, director of Prosperity Agenda, an advocacy group in Baltimore. "They just get more and more out of touch."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), son of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, is moving to combat the ninth reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), currently known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Enacted as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty," ESEA was a springboard for the federal government's unbounded authority and expanding reach in American education. The act was originally chartered through 1970, but the government has reauthorized ESEA every five years since its passing. NCLB has been tormented with problems and heavily condemned by educators and lawmakers, most visibly through controversial provisions such as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) — an academic measurement for schools and school districts based on standardized tests — and the requirement for all children to be proficient in math and reading by 2014. These provisions have led to serious unintended repercussions, one being the loss of transparency to parents and taxpayers about students' real academic performance. Most consequential is the federal government's amplified role in the education system, as the law has severely diminished local control and influence.
As unpatriotic and insane as it may sound, an economic depression may be the best thing that could happen to America in a long time. It will force Americans to get back to the basics of life, and rebuild their lives on a foundation of productive work and sensible spending. We should not forget that the Pilgrims came to these shores when there was nothing here but wilderness, and it was through their hard work and faith in their Creator that they started to build this great nation. Of this miraculous process, William Bradford wrote: "Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by his hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone to many, yea in some sort to our whole nation. Let the glorious name of Jehova have all the praise." Lee Eisenberg wrote in now defunct Portfolio magazine (March 2009): "The bottom line here is that things that truly matter in life do not come with daunting price tags attached. Sure, we all need food, health care, and shelter from the storm. But other than that, we don't need an especially big Number to buy that which we 'can't live without,' things that are 'bedrock important.'… To sell a house we love is no small lifestyle relapse. But if the tradeoff is freedom gained — the opportunity for creative expression, doing good for others, keeping loved ones connected — well, I call that comfort, even if it's cold comfort, in this, the winter of our discontent."
Over the course of the last few weeks, the Occupy Wall Street protests have increased in size and volume, and have been given generous attention by a sympathetic mainstream media. A number of media outlets have attempted to present the demonstrators as merely disgruntled Americans who are unhappy with the current plight of the American economy, despite evidence that the protests have been staged by Marxists, socialists, unions, and other left-wing organizations with intents greater than merely bringing light to the struggle of the average American. For those behind the demonstrations, though not necessarily the demonstrators, the goal is in fact to bring about global government. Prior to the start of the Occupy Wall Streets, which began on October 15, the UNPA Campaign — the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly — reports that a group of leftists "issued a manifesto that includes a strong call for global democracy and, in particular, democratic rule over the international financial system." UNPA is a group that describes itself as "a global network of parliamentarians and non-governmental organizations advocating citizen's representation at the United Nations." It might be worth noting that the group receives much of its funds from the Ford Foundation, whose mission indicates that its finances will be used "to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement." As noted by former board member Henry Ford II at the time of his resignation from the board, however, those endeavors amount to nothing more than anti-capitalist leftism. In his resignation letter, Ford wrote, "In effect, the Foundation is a creature of capitalism, a statement that, I'm sure, would be shocking to many professional staff people in the field of philanthropy.
According to the Associated Press for Oct. 20, more than 100,000 people assembled in front of the Greek parliament yesterday to vent their opposition to the proposed austerity legislation. The AP added of today's scene: Protesters gathered by the tens of thousand[s] outside the Greek parliament Thursday, ahead of a vote on intensely unpopular new measures needed to secure continued payment of international rescue loans that have so far prevented the country from sliding into bankruptcy. It is the second day of a general strike which has essentially shut down the country. GSEE, Greece's largest private-sector labor union, announced that there was 100-percent participation in strikes against shipping, refineries, and transport, and 90-percent participation in strikes against construction, banks, power companies, phone companies, postal service, and water companies. Municipal garbage pickup was delayed, and hospitals, courts, and schools were also affected. Some rioters threatened the Greek parliament building itself, and a few broke through a police barrier and ran to the tomb of the unknown solider in front of the parliament. In Thessaloniki (biblical Thessalonica), the second largest city in Greece, protesters vandalized shops which remained open in spite of the strike.
"Occupy Wall Street" has become something of a Rorschach test: observers find in it whatever they want to. If you consider protests a left-wing remnant from the turbulent 1960s, you'll probably perceive the residents of OWS's encampment as dirty hippies who foully curse the visiting bourgeoisie. If your hatred of the corporatist police-state lends you sympathy for its victims, OWS's tents are friendly enough to tour with your teen-aged sons, eminently peaceful, and libertarian if not anarchic. I can't comment on OWS from personal experience: I avoid crowds like the plague (yep, that's tough when you live in New York City. They don't call me The Miracle Worker for nothing). But even if I enjoyed mixing with the great unwashed, I would still keep my distance from Zuccotti Park: regardless of his niche on the political spectrum, everyone admits the cops are swarming there. Prizing my life and liberty, I eschew police even more than I do crowds. The militarized thugs with which New York's rulers control us will sooner or later fire on the protesters. Thanks, but I'll mourn The Bankers' Massacre from my safe and comfy office. One point on which OWS's 99% agree is that they represent thousands of opinions on virtually every topic. They also insist they don't necessarily have any answers, that they simply want to emphasize how wrong things are. Nonetheless, all this open-mindedness and humility didn't keep them from issuing a "first official document for release" that "was unanimously voted on by all members of Occupy Wall Street last night, around 8pm, Sept 29."

By now, most people have heard the news spreading that former Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb is likely heading to Buffalo and that the two sides are close to agreeing on a two-year deal worth a maximum of $13 million. With the recent release of former starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, and the re-signing of Tarvaris Jackson (who played zero games in the 2012 season), some people are wondering if this is a smart signing or just a sign of things to come for the Bills, which would mean yet another losing season and missing the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons...

The world changed and it was us, the fans that have taken the longest to adjust to it. The top...

Blue Cross Buys Lovelace Health Plan
By KRWG News And Partners
Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico is buying the Lovelace Health Plan.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the companies have agreed to a long-term provider agreement that will allow Lovelace Health Plan members a seamless transition and ensure continuity of members' care.
The Lovelace Health Plan currently serves 108,000 members in New Mexico.
Under the agreement, LHP members will continue to have access to the physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and services of the current Lovelace provider network.
Lovelace said it was unclear what would happen to the Health Plan's 350 employees.

Neuropharmacology publishes high quality, original research and review articles within the discipline of neuroscience, especially articles with a neuropharmacological component. However, papers within any area of neuroscience will be considered. The journal does not usually accept clinical research, although preclinical neuropharmacological studies in humans may be considered. The journal only considers submissions in which the chemical structures and compositions of experimental agents are readily available in the literature or disclosed by the authors in the submitted manuscript. Only in exceptional circumstances will natural products be considered, and then only if the preparation is well defined by scientific means. Neuropharmacology publishes articles of any length (original research and reviews).
Neuropharmacology also publishes succinct topical reviews on subjects within its remit. These reviews (of between 3000 and 5000 words) are commissioned by the Editorial Team or arise after...

Carbuncle Cup
The Carbuncle Cup is an architecture prize, given annually by the magazine Building Design to "the ugliest building in the United Kingdom completed in the last 12 months".[1] It is intended to be a humorous response to the prestigious Stirling Prize,[2] given by the Royal Institute of British Architects to "the architects of the building which has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year".[3]
The Carbuncle Cup award was launched in 2006, with the first winner being Drake Circus Shopping Centre in Plymouth by Chapman Taylor.[4] A shortlist is announced by Building Design each year, based on nominations from the public, and usually timed to coincide with the Stirling prize shortlist. Public voting via the magazine's website was used to select past winners, giving the award a sense of democratic involvement. Since 2009 a small group of critics has selected the final winners.
The award was based on the Carbuncle Awards which the Scottish architecture magazine Urban Realm, formerly Prospect, had been presenting to buildings and areas in Scotland since 2001.[5] The names of both awards are derived from a comment by Prince Charles, an outspoken critic of modern architecture, who in 1984 described Richard Rogers' proposed extension of London's National Gallery as a "monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend".[6]

School officials said they planned to tell media specialist Gayle Grossman about the parents' decision but said she would not be asked to stay home if she feels healthy.
The parents said their children would stay home from Bayview Elementary for 10 days. That is the outer range of the disease's incubation period, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"If we wait until she develops symptoms, it could be too late," parent Virginia Gabriel said.

The ants are going to win this round.
I've long been interested in the so-called "cycles of history" — long enough, in fact, not to take it too seriously.
Hardcore history cyclists of the Kondratieff/Spengler school [Russian economist Nikolai Kondratieff suggested half-century cycles, while German historian Oswald Spengler maintained every culture passes through a kind of life cycle] always end up treating history as if it was a living, powerful God, sweeping all of us along in its endless mood swings.
I don't buy it, partly because people are so perversely unpredictable and partly because these Long Wave models always seem to be a lot better at looking backwards than forwards.
On the other hand, there are two cycles of history that life has taught me are real. One, which covers everything from hemlines to membership rolls of the Ku Klux Klan, is driven by the human tendency towards fad, novelty and envy. And it doesn't surprise me at all that the stock market, which certainly exhibits those three traits in abundance, tracks this cycle pretty neatly.
The other cycle is driven by technological change. And I don't just mean Moore's Law, though it obviously plays a part. Rather, in my 40 years of living in Silicon Valley, and a quarter century working in or reporting on high tech, I've noticed a longer, less-obvious cycle that seems to have a wavelength of about 10-12 years.
This cycle is the endless vacillation between centralization and decentralization. This wave affects every part of the modern, tech-driven corporation, from products to organization charts. If you've been around this industry any length of time, you know what I'm talking about.
Cycles of Centralization
When I joined HP in the mid-1970s, the company was in the midst of a massive decentralization of its organization into dozens of divisions clustered about six major product groups. Not coincidentally, about a mile away, the Homebrew Computer Club was figuring out new ways to figure out how to build a "personal" computer that one could have of one's own, rather than timeshare off big corporate mainframes run by arrogant MIS priests.
Nolan Bushnell was nearby in his spare bedroom trying to take a mainframe computer game he'd played in college and shrink it down into a pinball-sized package for a local bar. And, just down the road, Intel, AMD, National Semiconductor and Zilog were perfecting new processors that would bring stand-alone intelligence to calculators, watches, games and even appliances.
Decentralization was in the air. And by the time I became a newspaperman in the early 1980s, the little guys had won. The stultifying, conformist, overpriced world of centralization had been defeated. Big batch mainframes, once the rulers of the digital world, now looked like dinosaurs lumbering off into extinction. Bushnell's Atari was now making games for the home, and there were as many microprocessors in the world as human beings. And that ultimate descendent of Homebrew, the Macintosh, was king.
But the wheel was already turning once again. By the mid-1980s, the fundamental flaws of decentralization — incompatibility, lack of standards, stretched communication lines, isolation, and unpredictability — were becoming insufferable.

Like is there some secret kitchen we can buy tickets to eat really nice food at, or a place to take a daily shower that you can book in advance, etc.?
Just wondering

Golf, IOC should get creative

CHASKA, Minn. -- Like playing the game itself, golf doesn't want to look too far ahead here. It has made it to the back nine of the Olympic quest with a comfortable lead, but doesn't want to accept any congratulations until holing out on the 18th green.
Tiger Woods would approach it that way, although this should be about as sure a bet as the game's No. 1 player having a lead Sunday.

Annual, comprehensive eye exams are important for everybody, but they are particularly crucial to patients with diabetes. Regular eye checkups are vitally important in detecting the early stages of major disorders, especially diabetes. Diabetic patients have a higher overall risk of having blurred vision and blindness. In fact, diabetic retinopathy is the #1 cause of blindness in the U.S.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?Diabetic retinopathy is a disease of the retina. The retina is the nerve layer that lines the back of your eye. It is the part of your eye that "takes pictures" and sends the images to your brain.
Diabetic retinopathy happens when high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels of the retina. This can lead to blood and other liquid leaking into the retina from the blood vessels. If blood sugar levels stay high, diabetic retinopathy will keep getting worse. New blood vessels grow on the reina. This may sound good, but these new blood vessels are weak. They can break open very easily, even while you are sleeping. This bleeding can also cause scar tissue to form which can lead to permanent vision loss.
When you have diabetic retinopathy, high blood pressure can make it worse. High blood pressure can cause more damage to the weakened vessels in your eye, leading to more leaking of fluid or blood and clouding more of your vision.
Most of the time, there are no symptoms of diabetic retionpathy until it starts to change your vision. When this happens, diabetic retinopathy is already severe. Fortunately there are tools available to us that assist in keeping a watch on the health of your eyes, and preventing vision loss. In a typical diabetic eye exam, the doctor will scan the retina looking for any signs of retinopathy. An exam report will also be sent to your diabetes doctor for coordination of care.
What sets VCA apart from the others?
Our new, state-of-the-art camera called the Optomap offers an ultra-wide digital view of the retina, which helps detect the small retinal hemorrhages caused by diabetes. This device captures a high-resolution, panoramic image of the back of the eye and in some cases, eliminates the need for dilation. We're always excited to provide our patients with the latest breakthroughs in preventative healthcare.
1) Faster turnaround time when ordering glasses. We expect to get glasses back in half the time and some single vision lenses can be cut in office the same day.
2) Better quality control over each job
3) Greater convenience for patients who aren't able to go without their frame while jobs are outsourced to the lab.
"We've seen better quality control overall and effectively eliminated the frustrating "lab errors" we battled in the past," said Dr. Arnold.
Dr. Franken added, "In 2014, we're offering free lenses when purchasing an annual supply of contact lenses. The patients select any frame in our optical and we throw in single vision polycarbonate lenses for free. This will help our contact lens wearers keep their backup glasses up to date so they can seamlessly switch between glasses and contact lenses without any problems."
Call us today to take advantage of the new VCA lens edger programs.

I bought a 2011(or maybe it was a 2010?) red TU250X simply because it had cool retro looks. Ran perfectly in all sorts of Arizona weather from very hot to very cold. However, it lacked power for 65-70 mph cruising (it was basically wide open at those speeds) and I finally traded it in on a 2012 DR650SE, a much more versatile machine. Downside is that it's too tall for a guy with a 30" inseam. I'll probably sell it one of these days now that I've got the HD200, which cruises 65-70 and isn't actually wide open.
I didn't like the tube tires on the TU and fortunately never had a flat, thanks to the various Gods, as Cochise County is littered with cell phone dead spots.
Put a small Seahorse hard case on the SYM's luggage rack today. Waterproof, lockable, and quite a bit cheaper than a Pelican.

ATTENTION: Read the following profile and see if we are a match.
Ok, I guess the first question that you'll ask yourself is, " who is this guy that I may possibly go on a date with"? The most accurate description of myself is that of a "jock". It's a pretty generic term. I'm very athletic. I play tennis, basketball, I have a road and mountain bike, I enjoy running, snow skiing, going to the river, etc. So now that we've got that stigma out of the way, I do have personality, lol. I'm educated, (CSUN ) I'm also a paramedic, and I'm very good with my hands ( I know, corny!) It gets better ( I hope) I've been with the fire department for 28 years so I am very stable. (I actually thought it would be easy sitting in front of this screen typing this, boy was I wrong.) I like to get away and do some traveling. I love Maui and go there almost every year. Believe it or not, I love to cook and clean and I must do my own yard work. I do have two grown children, my daughter 24 and my son 21. And yes, they both were in sports through college and good ole dad did a lot of coaching! But I really loved every minute of it! Now I must reveal these deep dark secrets. First, I'm a USC fan. Second, I love the Dallas Cowboys, and third, I love auto racing. Every year I travel to different tracks throughout the US to see auto races. Now my next adventure is to Monaco to see the Monaco Grand Prix. But you know what? It's a blast and everyone who goes always has a great time! So now I'm asked to describe who I'm looking for. Well, I'm a very visual person, so overall general appearance is important.I happen to be tall, so I am attracted to tall women. I prefer someone who is active. I believe that a good active healthy lifestyle and doing things together, strengthens the relationship. A great, and happy career sure makes everyday living a little less stressful. Being unhappy and unfulfilled at work will make anyone miserable and it sure works against a loving relationship. I have this vision of a woman who is athletic, loves to stay active, has a great and fulfilling career and is easy going. Likes to do some fun things, will travel and can accept my 3 dark secrets (lol)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Baseball, Basketball, Cycling, Football, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I like Dogs
I don't have any animals at this time. I love dogs, but I must say that not having to care for one does make life a little easier.
Middle of the Road
Hawaii is my favorite vacation spot, but I want to travel to other places. My next stop is Europe or Australia. I want to travel to the Middle East, preferrably Isreal. I also like traveling throughtout the USA. Many historic sites to see.
California State University, Northridge, Northridge, CA
I must admit, I'm a sports person, so anything to do with sports I'm pretty game. I play tennis, snow ski, roller skate, etc. I like to do road trips, drive to the moutains for lunch, have dinner down at the beach. I'm open.
What I really enjoy doing is going to historical places that I have not been to or have not been to in a long time. There are many interesting places, especially in our own state that are easy to get to and are very exciting to visit.
It's been a while, but the last book I read was Moon Shot, about the US space program. Usually, if it has to do with history, I will read it.

Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Written by: Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan
Main Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Mackenzie Foy, Bill Irwin, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Topher Grace, Ellen Burstyn, and David Oyelowo, among others…
Past Oscar relations: Burstyn, Caine, Damon, Hathaway, and McConaughey are previous Oscar winners, while Affleck, Chastain, and both Nolans are Academy Award nominees in prior years
Today we have another brand spanking new article in this particular series of mine concerning certain high profile 2014 releases hoping to compete for some sort of actual Oscar attention as a contender at the upcoming 2015 ceremony. Next up for here for us is one of the biggest contenders of the year in Interstellar. It's an epic that's hoping to become the blockbuster in the Best Picture race. Does it have a strong chance? Well, let me get into that a little bit now…
This movie is a science fiction adventure/drama set in the near-ish future. Earth is dying and a last ditch mission to save it is set up by what remains of NASA. A former engineer and pilot turned farmer is chosen to lead the way and must leave his children behind in order to save mankind. I could say more, but the less you know going in, the more wonder that's going to be in store for you all. Interstellar stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Mackenzie Foy, Bill Irwin, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Topher Grace, Ellen Burstyn, Timothée Chalamet, David Oyelowo, and Collette Wolfe. Christopher Nolan directs and co-writes with his brother Jonathan Nolan. They all combine to literally make magic happen. Now, will Oscar recognize these achievements?
What this film has going in its favor is the incredible ambition on display. Not only do I feel that this is Nolan's best work behind the camera to date, it's also his most emotional by far. There's a ton of heart here, which voters will probably respond to. Not only is his direction flawless, the writing is complex and super compelling. Throw in the top notch performances, especially by McConaughey (as well as by Chastain and Damon), and that makes for across the board potential, including the technical achievements of cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, composer Hans Zimmer, and editor Lee Smith, just to name a few. If the Academy goes for this flick […]

"Interstellar": What's Up with the 2015 Awards Race
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
A November Oscar Predictions Update
The calendar has turned to November folks, so now we're getting down to the nitty gritty of Oscar predictions. Precursor awards have begun to be given out, so expect the Academy Award picture to slowly begin to clear up. That doesn't mean that from now on we suddenly know how the whole thing will go, but we're closing in on the point where things should begin to make more sense. We can still guess to our heart's content, but certain long shots just won't happen and certain likelihoods are even more likely now. That's just the name of the game. By nomination morning I should have things pretty accurate, but for now, it's still a matter of fine tuning. This is just the first phase of the game too, keep that in mind. Once the nominations are announced, the whole situation changes and it becomes all about figuring out winners. Nominees are one thing…winners are a whole other.
For this particular update, I tried to decide if there were any surprises to consider. For one thing, I backed away from American Sniper quite a bit. On the flip side, I've gotten pretty bold with Interstellar, including Christopher Nolan's first Best Director nomination. I also am sticking with my next in line bonus little thing in each category, since it give you all a further look at what I'm thinking as the weeks progress. Knowing the top ten in a given category (double that in Best Picture, obviously) can help assess the whole situation, so I think it's a help overall.
In terms of my winners, I just want to say once again that I think just about every race is still wide open (give or take Best Supporting Actor) and I refuse to predict a split between Best Picture and Best Director this early in the game, so when I switch one, I have to change the other as well. As such, you'll see a new winner or two throughout the big eight categories, but mostly the status quo from last time around. They could just be temporary, but time will tell in that regard. For now, that's just how I see the race…
Well, enough talk though my friends. I know you all just want to see how the predictions have changed, even if only a little bit, so let me oblige you. Here now are my most up to date Academy […]
Could 'Interstellar' be an Oscar winner?
Last week, I was one of the lucky first members of the press to lay eyes on Christopher Nolan's new opus Interstellar. Now that the embargo has lifted, I can say without hesitation that it's his best work to date, an absolutely enthralling and deeply moving science fiction drama that makes both your heart and your mind soar. More important than my thoughts though (which I'll get into more below), is how its debut could impact the Oscar race. I know that only a few of my fellow pundits love it as much as I do and some aren't even fans of it at all, but this is a legitimate contender folks. The only question is to what extent…
For those somehow in the dark about this, Interstellar is a sci-fi movie set in the future from Christopher Nolan. It details a dying Earth and the last ditch attempt to save it by going in search of a new planet to colonize. Matthew McConaughey stars as the pilot turned farmer/single dad turned hero, with an incredible supporting cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Mackenzie Foy, Bill Irwin, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Topher Grace, Ellen Burstyn, and David Oyelowo. Nolan directs and co-writes with his brother Jonathan Nolan.
Even with high expectations, I was floored by this film. It's visually stunning, powerful, and surprisingly emotional. Nolan has never been one to move me to tears, but on more than one occasion I got choked up. Particularly in terms of how he deals with relationships between fathers and daughters (McConaughey and Chastain/Foye, as well as Caine and Hathaway), it's actually quite beautiful and sad. That's really something special and unique, compounded by how intelligent the science fiction is here. The details about black holes and the Theory of Relativity is handled with the sort of faith that assumed the audience will come on this journey without turning off their brains. If they/you do, you'll be in for something amazing.
So how can it impact the Oscar race? Well, it'll depend on how the precursors and guilds take to it, but there's a potential narrative where it could become one of the top contenders for Best Picture as well as Best Director. If all goes perfectly for Interstellar from this point on, it could be in line for up to a dozen Academy Award nominations. Pie in […]
Re-ranking the contenders in Best Actress
As I've been mentioning over the last few weeks or so, with the festival season well underway and just about all of the major contenders for the Academy Awards having screened or about to screen, now seems like as good a time as any to move forward and take a look at the big eight categories to see what's what in an updated/more expanded fashion. I did this with the major categories a couple of months back, but that was when almost everything was still speculation. We have some facts to go on now, so while much of this is still just an educated guess, I'm not completely relying on overt hunches this time around. It's more of an even mix, depending on the film/director/performer in question, of course. Today I'm turning my attention once again to the Best Actress field, which is another category that won't necessarily match up with Best Picture in any major way, but likely won't be too far off either. Read on to see what I mean for this one…
One special note about Best Actress this year is that, on the flip side to best Actor, it's a fairly barren race. Each of the ten women that I have cited as the ones with the best chance at a nomination have some chance at a nod, but only a few of them can realistically win. It's going to be interesting to see if any surprise noms wind up shaking up this category when all is said and done…
Here are the ten ladies that I have in play for Best Actress currently, with the top five cracking the lineup at this point and time:
1. Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) – If you ask a dozen pundits who the frontrunner is in Best Actress, you'll probably get one of about five answers (hint, my top five), but if you ask me, I think this could turn into a walk for Jones. It's just a hunch, but Oscar loves their supportive wives, something this performance apparently does incredibly well. Jones in the sweet spot of the age the Academy enjoys honoring, so that doesn't hurt too. We have a long way to go before anyone in this category starts to separate themselves from the pack, but at this juncture, I'm backing Jones ever so slightly.
2. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) – Now that folks are able to see […]
The 85th Academy Awards: If I had been a voter
Today I'll be going back once again and looking at a recent Oscar lineup and explaining what my vote would have been in each of the big eight categories. I mentioned that potentially I could do this once a week with previous Academy Award ceremonies, and while I'm going to be doing that here and there, there's a chance that this could turn into a long running thing. Again, if nothing else, this gives you an interesting look into my cinematic tastes. Over the course of the year you can sort of get a feel for what my current favorites are, but now we can look to the past a bit more.
Alright, here goes nothing:
Best Picture – Argo
The nominees here for this ceremony were Amour, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, and Zero Dark Thirty. When you factor in that it was my favorite film of 2012, a vote for Best Picture winner Argo would be a pretty clear and decisive choice here (the rare occasion when my favorite movie of the year actually wins the Oscar). I wouldn't argue with a vote for Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook, or Zero Dark Thirty, but Ben Affleck's flick was far and away my number one.
Best Director – David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook
I'd have voted for Affleck here, but shockingly (and insanely) he wasn't nominated. The actual nominees were Ang Lee for Life of Pi, Michael Haneke for Amour, David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook, Steven Spielberg for Lincoln, and Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild. Without Affleck, I very nearly went with Spielberg here, but in the end I just like Russell's movie better. The aforementioned Affleck is easily my personal pick overall, but Russell is my choice of the actual nominees.
Best Actor – Joaquin Phoenix for The Master
In an absolutely perfect world, I'd have seen Denis Lavant in the lineup for Holy Motors and subsequently he'd have been my vote, but that was always a super long shot. The actual nominees here though were Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook, Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln, Hugh Jackman for Les Miserables, Joaquin Phoenix for The Master, and Denzel Washington for Flight. Everyone is very worthy here and I actually really came close to selecting eventual winner Day-Lewis, but Phoenix was just so incredible and showed me […]
Rosamund Pike: 2015 Best Supporting Actress contenders
As you fine ladies and gentlemen all know by now, it's one thing to read early Academy Award predictions in order to see what folks like myself think will happen this winter, but it's a whole separate thing to actually know something about who and what will be in contention. To help out in that particular regard, I'm continuing to run down some of the major contenders in each Oscar category in order to prep you all for the season to come. Basically, the format will have me saying a few words about what or who I feel are the top tier contenders right now in said categories, along with a longer list afterwards of many of the other hopefuls that the Academy might potentially take a shine to. Consider this a sort of before the awards season cheat sheet to have in your back pocket.
Today I'm continuing with another of the big acting categories…yes, it's Best Supporting Actress.
Here are the ten particular women that I have in play for Best Supporting Actress, with the top five cracking the unofficial lineup at this point:
1. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) *could go Lead – I also have Pike as a contender in Best Actress, but if she goes Supporting, she very well could win the Oscar this year. David Fincher's film seems like it could be an acting showcase, so unless you have her in Lead already, there's absolutely no reason to not have her listed prominently in Best Supporting Actress. It could be her year.
2. Jessica Chastain (A Most Violent Year) – The other actress I think is highly in contention to win this category is Chastain. She'll have some other Lead performances vying for Oscar's attention, but this seems like the bait and flashy sort of supporting turn that the Academy loves to give a prize to. She's getting to the point where a win makes a lot of sense, so keep a close eye on her ladies and gentlemen.
3. Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) – If there's one supporting role that will really have critics pulling for a nomination, it's Arquette's in Boyhood. I've seen the film and know how great she is, so I feel like a nod is very possible. Turning that nom into a win will be a challenge, but she could certainly contend, no doubt about that much.
4. Jena Malone (Inherent Vice) – One of my hunches […]
The 2015 Awards Race: Best Picture contenders – Unbroken, Foxcatcher
It's one thing to read early Academy Award predictions to see what folks like myself think will happen at the end of the year, but it's another thing entirely to actually know which films will be in contention. To that end, once or twice a week for the next month or so I'll be running down some of the major contenders in each Oscar category. Basically, the format will have me saying a few words about what/who I feel are the top tier contenders right now in said categories, along with a longer list afterwards of many of the other hopefuls. Consider this a sort of pre awards season cheat sheet.
Today I'm beginning with the big one…Best Picture.
Here are the ten films that I have right now cracking the Best Picture lineup:
1. Unbroken – To me, Angelina Jolie's sophomore directorial outing is the one to beat out right now. It's a World War II survival tale starring up and comer Jack O'Connell, written by a group that includes the Coen Brothers, and is shot by legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins. There's such a tremendous pedigree on display, this would have to be an absolute disaster not to crack the lineup. As it stands now, it's the one I have winning it all.
2. Foxcatcher – Bennett Miller's passion project got a nice boost this past week at the Cannes Film Festival. Raves were given not just for Miller, but for star Steve Carell and co-stars Mark Ruffalo/Channing Tatum as well, so there's across the board potential here. Right now, it's the only film that I'm basically 100% sure will be in the Best Picture lineup, barring something unexpected.
3. Men, Women, & Children – I'm perhaps higher on Jason Reitman's latest than most, but I'm also a big fan of the book by Chad Kultgen and see real potential here. Along with giving Adam Sandler a rare chance to be serious, the talented ensemble cast includes Rosemarie DeWitt, Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Dean Norris, Emma Thompson, Kaitlyn Dever, Ansel Elgort, Dennis Haysbert, and J.K. Simmons, so Reitman has tons of toys to play with here. If Oscar can handle the sexual frankness of the story, Ivan's son could again be a nominee and see his film nominated for Best Picture.
4. Big Eyes – Of late, Tim Burton movies have been the exact opposite of Oscar bait, but this sees him returning to something […]
