Professor Martin Humphries, Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences
Professor Martin Humphries became Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences in September 2008, and is a Professor of Biochemistry.
Martin received his PhD in Biochemistry from the Victoria University of Manchester in 1983. From 1983 to 1988, he carried out postdoctoral research at the Howard University Cancer Center in Washington DC, and at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. In 1988, he was awarded a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship to return to Manchester. In 1995, he progressed to a Principal Research Fellowship and was a co-founder of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell-Matrix Research, which he directed from 2000 to 2009.
Martin's research aims to elucidate the mechanisms of cell adhesion. The interactions between adhesion receptors and their extracellular matrix ligands control the behaviour of cells and determine tissue architecture by regulating movement, orientation, growth and death. Adhesion also contributes to common human diseases, including inflammation, thrombosis and tumour spread. Martin's discoveries include pinpointing sites within extracellular matrix molecules that determine adhesion, developing these agents as anti-inflammatory therapeutics, determining the mechanisms of adhesion receptor function, and elucidating how adhesion receptors act as sensors of the cell microenvironment.

"You don't stop training BJJ because you get old...you get old because you stop training BJJ." Keep it up, Ocean6. I was at Renzo Gracie Academy last month for their promotion ceremony and a guy got his Black belt from Renzo who was in his late 60s (or possibly early 70s!). He'd driven 3 hours each day for class for years. It was incredible.

Just wanted to thank the OP and this young man again for the inspiration.I am still in class at a Rickson lineage school and loving it!My teacher is very cool, makes class fun and interdasting, and the other students all have great attitudes.Sure, I got some 45 year old man aches and pains, but I am getting stronger, losing weight, feeling more flexible, enjoying the cardio, and sleeping better!

Fantastic video...

HAHA! Thanks Man!To answer your question, even though I am fat and out of shape, I always was one of the best athletes in grade and high school, so I wasn't really too nervous.Also, I just DECIDED it was going to be fun, and I don't know how they normally act(being a Rickson school, I was a bit worried they might be a little uptight...) and so, I went in with a smile, shook everyone's hand, was self effacing and my normally funny self, and just had a good time.I do admit to a very small amount of nervousness while waiting for the class to start, but once we got going, it was just...awesome!The teacher was cool, and helpful. They also put me with the highest ranked belt in the class, so that he could temper my ... noobness a bit.I hope you start back soon too Motivated Penn.I have a couple of Gracie frineds, daughter and grandaughter of the 1st, Carlos. They have shard stories and info with me, we've watched UFCs together.They suggested I take classes, but I just couldn't see myself doing it until....this vid.Someone thank this young man for me, if you know him.Also, I want SFM, who lives here in the same town as I do, to join this class and get moving with me!!Someone page him to this!Thanks again, I can't tell y'all what this means to me!
6/26/12 4:52 PM by Motivated Penn
Awesome, Ocean6. It takes balls to join a martial arts school at 45, did you feel a little out of place? I mean, being 45 and, I assume being a complete beginner? I'm just curious.Cus I joined an MMA gym when I was 27, I am 6'3" and weigh 270, so I am vastly overweight and everybody else where was like 170 and 17-21 so haha. I have never had a problem with that though, I just came to learn how to fite (sic).I think that's just so awesome that the video spurred your joining starting BJJ. People who have never done grappling can't understand the feeling. I recently watched a video about this elite offroad biker, who said he needed 100% focus while doing this, there isn't room for anything in his mind, except focus on what he does. I think BJJ is a little bit the same. It's a perfect activity to release all tension and stop worrying, while doing BJJ you can't be anything other than a grappler.I cannot WAIT until I can go back and start rolling. Been out of class for.. almost a year now, will be past a year, once I return. Injury. I am a white belt so I will start fresh, even though I have been doing stuff for about 2 years, my body is a wreck haha.Oh, and Ocean, I think it was a good idea to not yell out that you trane UFC, even though, technically, we all know you are obviously traneing UFC.
6/26/12 4:41 PM by Ocean6
Class last night was JUST what I was looking for!Laid back attitude. Solid Hickson Gracie basics designed for self defense, cool people, cool teacher, got a great sweat on.And I decided not to scream out that I trane ufc! LOL!I am sore today but going back for more and will be joining this school. Thanks again for posting this incredible video. It has changed my life.

Evan Rachel Wood Reveals She's Bisexual
"Yes," she proudly told the magazine. "I grew up in love with David Bowie. So I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls... I'm into androgyny in general."
The 23-year-old actress confessed she tends to take the lead when she's dating women: "Yeah, I'm more kind of like the guy when it comes to girls. I'm the dominant one... I'm opening the doors, I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic."
After talking about her dating life including her relationship with Marilyn Manson ("I think one of the things that freaked people out so much is that we looked so different,") Wood also addressed her reputation. "I'm constantly changing, I'm constantly growing. I think I'm a little controversial? ... I just try and keep some mystery, so hopefully people can't really put their finger on it."
Wood recently made headlines after filming an extended nude scene for 'Mildred Peirce,' an HBO series also starring Kate Winslet.

Used to be when dating that us guys worried about how many men our lady of interest might have been with - now we have to worry about how many men her men might have been with - sick sign of the times. Gay ok - straight ok - bisexual nothing more than wanting the whole cake and eating it too - no such thing.

The interviewer asked her a direct question--and she answered it. How is that TMI? She didn't go into any lurid details. If she had talked about men and being strictly heterosexual no one would have thought anything of it. But because it's something other than heterosexuality, it's now "TMI" or something her parents should be ashamed of (even though they probably know who their daughter is and don't care one way or the other). Fail.

|On his sixth album, Palabras del Silencio, Luis Fonsi continues to establish himself as one of Latin pop's most accomplished vocalists, one who is not only popular but creative. In several ways, his previous album, Paso a Paso (2005), was a breakthrough effort. With the exception of the English-language crossover album Fight the Feeling (2002), all of his prior albums were commercially successful, beginning with his debut album, Comenzar? (1998). It wasn't until Paso a Paso, however, that Fonsi took creative control of his music. On that album, he co-wrote all of the songs except three, collaborated with producer Sebasti n Krys, and spiced up his music with electric guitars and other unexpected sounds. The resulting album not only spawned a series of hit singles ("Nada Es Para Siempre," "Estoy Perdido," "Por Una Mujer," "Vivo Muriendo," "Paso a Paso") and led to a greatest-hits release, Exitos: 98:06 (2006); it was also critically acclaimed and established Fonsi as one of Latin pop's most accomplished vocalists. Palabras del Silencio is essentially a continuation of all that Fonsi accomplished with Paso a Paso: he is credited with co-writing all of the 13 songs, he collaborates once again with Sebasti n Krys (plus producers Armando Avila and Jacobo Calder¢n), and he adopts unexpected musical styles (e.g., the ranchera accents of lead single "No Me Doy por Vencido"). Also like Paso a Paso, Palabras del Silencio includes a bounty of potential hit singles. The aforementioned lead single, "No Me Doy por Vencido," is a clear highlight, its soaring chorus almost breathtaking. Other highlights include "Quien Le Va Decir," "Llueve por Dentro," "Aunque Est?s con El," and "La Mentira" -- in other words, the first half of the album is full of standouts. While the second half of the album isn't as stellar, it includes plenty of notable songs, particularly "Todo Vuelve a Empezar," a duet between Fonsi and multilingual Italian superstar Laura Pausini that is a true collaboration -- written as well as sung together by the two -- and there's also "Aqui Estoy Yo," which features a quartet of international all-stars -- Fonsi (Puerto Rico), Aleks Syntek (Mexico), David Bisbal (Spain), and Noel Schajris (Argentina) -- and "Tienes Razon," a ballad that closes the album on a beautiful note. [An expanded edition with alternate versions of "No Me Doy Por Vencido," "Agu¡ Estoy," and "Llueve Por Dentro," as well as a DVD of music videos, was released in 2009.] ~ Jason Birchmeier

Eashy to clean ceramic frying pan.
Easy to clean ceramic frying pan that cooks food evenly on stove.Read More
easy to clean!
I was not very optimistic to buy this online, but it exceeded my expectations. very good quality and so easy to clean.Read More
Not so great of a pan
I love the way this pan looks, but it isn't the best. Stuff sticks to it, it gets burnt, it even has a little pit where ceramic is missing that I assume will grown larger over time. It works as a pan since it cooks items, but I would not recommend this for non stick uses :) It sucks to cook eggs in.Read More
Vinaroz Ceramic Coated Frying Pan
Replacing my teflon pans and thought I would try Ceramic coating! Wow, what a difference. Easy to clean and food does not stick to it. Have had it not quite a month, and use it almost daily. I would buy this again.Read More
Perfect for induction cooking
This Vinaroz frying pan has thicker aluminum than I expected. The lid is well constructed and fits well. The nonstick ceramic coating is amazing! The ferrous clad bottom makes it perfect for use on an induction range or cooktop.Read More
Very satisfied
I've owned this pan for over 6 months. It has become my go-to pan for almost everything. The ceramic coating is thick and durable. The pan heats evenly and cleans up with little or no effort. The heavy-duty lid is vented to prevent spill-overs. I liked my pan so much, I bought another as a gift for a friend; she loves it, too.Read More
Pitted ceramic
Pan was very nice except poor quality control that should have found the pit before it was shippedRead More
this is a great buy heavy duty
I enjoy cooking in this pot.It heats up nice.Easy to clean,heavy duty.Read More
Nice pan... so far, so good
Bought this pan based on one of the As Seen on TV ads for ceramic pans. I have one without a lid and I got this one for dishes that need to be covered when cooking. This pan is much bigger and heavier than the As Seen on TV pans. Have only used it a few times but itseems to be of good quality and cleans easily. Don't know if the white will discolor, but ok so far...Read More
Positive initial experience
The real test would be the performance of the ceramic coating, over a longer period of time. So far, after one month with almost daily use, it still holds.Read More

The letters W, T and F are thrown around all too much these days, but seriously- WTF? The masters of gothic metal made this? No, no it's just so wrong. It's electropop. Even the infallable Wikipedia knows it. This is electropop and with a couple tracks exceptions, it's bad electropop. Commute and Machine are rather neat in a catchy sort of way but the title track is hokey beyond hokey. "I need more rhythm"? Clicks and beeps? This is the kind of lyric and sound that KMFDM would throw away, let alone what a band who previously wrote wholly in old english and sang like opera.
I gave Assembly 75%, and did so because techno though it is, it is good, catchy fun techno. Musique is not. Musique is hokey lame crappy club techno that could only be appreciated on a whole lot of drugs surrounded by glow sticks and 16 year olds on E. And I don't mean the note. Speaking of notes, there are two on this album: high and higher. The light featherweight tones and repetative yet unmemorable songs are too long 3 minutes. And after Aegis! Aegis was slow, dark, sad, somber, beautifull, memorable, elegent, smart, everything that the word gothic means. And then this had to happen. It's like watching a marathon runner trip on a banana peel, and sounds much the same. If you want good electrpop wait for their next album. If you want gothic metal stick to their first three. If and only if you want their complete works for the sake of obsessive complusive disorder, buy Musique, but if you do for the love of god don't listen to it. Life is just too short for that.
Who would have thought Theatre of Tragedy would create an industrial metal album with touches of electro clash and EBM? Well, they did, and it's pretty a good album, too, despite some of the angry fans have to say about it. "Musique" was the second ToT album I purchased. A friend played "Assembly" for me and I wasn't too impressed with it overall, although I did enjoy the sound. I wasn't sure what to expect from "Musique" since I had also been exposed to the band's earlier offerings. But I was surprised and pleased when I sat down to listen to it. Having been a fan of both industrial metal and EBM for some time, I was instantly at home with it.
This CD is primarily hard riffs, the band's signature contrast of Ray and Liv's vocals, heavy synth work, and many electronic trimmings. The keyboards definitely play a central role in deciding the direction of the tracks. This is a big contrast from the near doom like quality of ToT's first two releases. The pace of the songs is very upbeat and relentless. The songs are also shorter and much easier to get into. Almost every single one of these songs is a winner for me. Fragment, Crash / Concrete, Machine, Reverie, Cummute, and Image are where the album shines in my mind.
Theatre of Tragedy have always been a band that is hard for me to figure out. I found the lyrics in their previous albums so corny I almost couldn't take it. I couldn't tell if they were admitting to gothic metal's cheesy over use of "thee," "thou," and "hast" or if they were serious about it. And with "Musique," I find myself in the same dilemma. Image is such a sultry song, and when Liv keeps going and going with the dirty talk it's really too much. Lyrics in some of the other songs seem to border on the satirical. At times, the robotic tones of voice really get on your nerve, and at other times they fit perfectly with the music. The lyrics have a transhumanist / cyberpunk feel throughout and this is only supported by the excessive electro pop touches.
I don't know what it is about metal, but every time a band undergoes a dramatic genre shift as with the case of ToT, there is always a group of fans that throws a fit and writes said group off as betraying the cause or whatever. "Musique" is a CD you have to approach and listen to with an open mind. Anything less will prevent you from enjoying the good album that it is. For me, this was easy since electronic music is another big part of what I listen to. For others who are more diehard when it comes to metal, I imagine it will be hard if not impossible to overcome their prejudice. This album is worth the buy if you're into industrial metal and don't mind excessive dependence on electronic elements.
I must admit that I never expected such a change from Theatre of Tragedy. They went from gothic/doom metal to industrial metal. This change, however, isn't bad. If you don't compare this to "Velvet Darkness they Fear" or the debut, this will sound like a very well done experimental album.
"Musique" has a techno-like sound mixed with industrial metal. It's quite mellow, despite the fact that it's labeled as techno. It has a very futuristic sound that goes perfect with the lyrics that talk about future and technology. However, the flaw that I find in the lyrics is that they're talking against techno music, and at the same time, they're playing it. One line I can think of is in the title track; "Electric music resounding all around". It is clearly said in a sarcastic way, yet "Musique" is electric music which is doing what the lyrics are talking against. However, given that I never really understood the lyrics to their previous albums and I still love them, it won't be fair if I considered any of the lyrics here.
However, not everything changed. The vocals are still the same (to a certain extent). Liv Kristine is still in the band. Even though her voice doesn't sound like it did on their previous 3 albums (or the next album, for that matter), it still contains the same power and serenity. In "Reverie" her voice is amazing during the chorus. Raymond Rohonyi is also a vocalist (like he was in every album). His voice is very techno-like and sounds like a speak-and-spell (which is the same kind of voice they make fun of in "Machine"). However, he sounds much better than on "Assembly" and "Storm".
"Musique" is also very varied. Every song is different than the other and no track is below average (excluding the bonus track, which I will get to later). If I had to pick an absolute favorite track, it's without doubt "Reverie". There's something about that song that makes me want to keep on pressing the previous button (you will too). Although "City of Light" and "Crash Concrete" are also clear highlights.
My only complaint is the ending. Whether you have 11 tracks or 12 tracks on your version, the two songs aren't fitting for the end. "Space Age" is a very good song (weird, but great), yet it lacks Liv, which doesn't make it a good summary for the album. "The New Man" is also a very bad ending, seeing how it should be among the pop crap on "Assembly". It's a song that reduces Liv's voice to ashes and makes the whole album sound like a complete joke. "Reverie", on the other hand, would've made an excellent closing song, seeing as it doesn't stop instantly (it has a long outro), and it combines every element of the album. However, "Space Age" isn't a bonus track and it's found in every version. Just stay away from the version with "The New Man" unless you enjoyed "Assembly".
So, overall, "Musique" is a great album. You just need to view it as an album from an entirely different band because you won't be able to enjoy it if you compare with their earlier doom metal releases. In fact it's probably my second favorite Theatre of Tragedy album (after "Velvet Darkness they Fear"). I know it sounds crazy to hear a gothic metal fan liking techno, but it's just too addictive. However, don't expect to like "Assembly" if you liked this because they're very different (this is obviously much superior).
One last note; if you like "Musique", make sure to buy the two singles ("Machine" and "Image") because they both contain amazing remixes of the tracks here. It's a bit more techno and a barely metal, but you'll love them if you enjoyed this.
This was the first Theatre of Tragedy album I bought. I downloaded a few ToT songs before I bought this album and it was their earlier work. I thought it was amazing so I bought their new album at the time which was Musique. I put in my CD player and I thought I bought the wrong band. The music was good because I am into the whole industrial techno metal thing but it wasn't as great as the songs I downloaded. I was kind of pissed off, I mean who wouldn't be?
I finally bought another one of their CD's and it was amazing. I love the doom/death metal. Back to Musique; I mean it's not a horrible album, I actually can't get enough of it. I just wish this was ToT's side project. I miss their Doom/Death metal, I'd much rather hear that than this thechno metal they have going.
I thought it was hilarious because they would be singing in Old English and the next album both of them are singing about Computers and Machines. If you're into the old ToT stuff, and you're not into industrial metal, don't even buy this album.
The reason why I give it a 78 is because this CD shouldn't be done by a great doom/death/goth metal band called Theatre of Tragedy, it should have been their Side project with another band name.

As reported by mmaweekly.com and mmajunkie.com, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has verbally agreed to face newly-crowned light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida.
Shogun is coming off a very impressive win over Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell. The win was impressive in the fact that the agile Shogun took Liddell down twice, which very few people have been able to do, and finally finished him off with strikes.
Machida just captured the title by knocking Rashad Evans into la la land. Evans never looked like he stood a chance.
The first title challenger was all but set to be Quinton "Rampage" Jackson but Jackson stated that he wanted to finish the feud with Evans and hone his skills to get back to the old Rampage.
The Machida versus Shogun bout is rumored to be in the fall and will probably take place around UFC 103-04.

I'm trying to install the Cassandra Community Edition into a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in us-east-1 using DataStax Auto-Clustering AMI 2.2 (ami-6139e708). I've had to do several adjustments to your instructions including
- Set up a DHCP server so that the hostnames can be resolved properly for your scripts
- Add several egress ports in the Cassandra VPC Security Group (53 for DNS and another one for GIT)
Now I'm to an issue that I can't find a resolution for in the forums or on the net. It almost seems as if the AMI is trying to use the enterprise edition even though I specified the community edition. Here is my User Data String: --clustername cass --totalnodes 4 --version community --opscenter yes

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never buy another BBQ,
This review is from: Weber Baby Q (Garden & Outdoors)
If you're looking to buy a BBQ then this is by far the best investment you could make. George Foreman, who?
All through summer, well, sunny Sundays, we've been packing up the car with folding chairs, table, kebabs, sausages and a couple of beers and the all important Baby Q. Just get in the car and drive, find somewhere nice and set up camp. It hardly weighs anything, I'm only 5'2" and no power lifter but can manage it easily. It's size is deceiving as the amount you can fit on the grill is quite a lot, we've had 6 large kebabs, a tray of sausages and a tray of ribs all at the same time. It all packs nicely into the 'Rolling Duffle Bag' which is large enough to fit all tools, trays, kitchen roll nearly the kitchen sink too (you have to buy that extra at �39.99 unless you get a deal and they throw one in for free like we did). If that's not enough then it's cool rating is a must. Forget all the cheap disposable efforts that last for half an hour after it's flames have died down, if it lights that is. Just buy it, enough said.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never buy another BBQ,
This review is from: Weber Baby Q (Garden & Outdoors)
If you want a barbie then this is the best investment you'll ever make. It may be called the 'Baby Q' but it is far and beyond the 'Daddy'. George Foreman, who? Weber have got this spot on. All through summer, well, sunny sundays, we have packed up the car with the folding chairs & table, kebabs, sausages, beer and the all important Baby Q. It has it's own nylon zipped wheely bag (available at extra cost but well worth it cause it fits all tools, kitchen roll and practically everything else)so you can drag it anywhere you fancy, and we have, and the gas canisters last for a good few hours. It may not look the biggest BBQ but it's surprisingly like a tardis. We've had no problem fitting 6 large kebabs, a tray of sausages and a tray or ribs on it. Forget all your cheap disposables that only last for half an hour, if you can light them, buy the baby Q as this is seriously cool. I'm only 5'2" and no power lifter but I can pick it up with ease. It lights instantly and cleans well. Say no more.

Grenique began performing with vocal groups as a teen but felt her ideas would work best as a solo artist. Her goal of having a record deal by age 22 in mind, Grenique headed to New York City and met with entertainment attorneys, one of whom introduced her to producer Dahoud Darien. This connection led to meeting Kedar Massenburg, the president of Motown Records, as well as Chico DeBarge; the result was a record deal, the song "Disco" on the Rush Hour soundtrack, and a debut album, 1999's Black Butterfly. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

SNELLVILLE -- Eastside Medical Center announced Thursday that the magazine Consumer Reports has rated it the safest hospital in Georgia.
According to the statement from the Snellville hospital, Consumer Reports' August issue rated 1,159 hospitals in 44 states on overall safety "using government and independent sources." The study was the magazine's first.
In analyzing patient safety, Consumer Reports focused on six categories, officials said: infections, readmissions, communications, scanning, serious complications and mortality. The first four categories are weighed at 20 points each, and the latter are 10 points each.
A perfect score would be 100. It was unclear Tuesday what Eastside's exact score was, but officials said the hospital ranked the highest of any in Georgia. A hospital spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.
"Our physicians and staff consider patient safety a top priority and we continually work to improve our safety measures and the quality of care our patients receive," Eastside CEO Kim Ryan said in a statement. "This is an honor to be nationally recognized and a testament to the exceptional patient care provided here at Eastside."

This lady was hired by the hospital from New Orleans after Katrina. Now we know how great the hospital system in run in New Orleans. You have Charity, LSU Medical, and Tulane Medical, all of which are great teaching hospitals. Kudo's to Kim Ryan. I'd like to know where Emory (an Atlanta teaching hospital) and GMC were ranked. Maybe this reporter can look that up for us. Maybe they were too bad to list since apparently only the highest ranking of the hospitals around here were even mentioned in this article!!

A paper cup of water with a bent straw is placed before the frantic and miserable patient and all present implore him to Sip!
Now, as they enter the fourth estate and seek its reinvention, I implore them: be bold.
Several times during the highly tense 37-minute session, Smith had to implore of the media mob that they "take turns."
c.1500, from Middle French implorer and directly from Latin implorare "call for help, beseech," originally "invoke with weeping," from assimilated form of in- "on, upon" (see in- (2)) + plorare "to weep, cry out." Related: Implored; imploring; imploringly.

The hotel is located in a quiet area up the hill from the main part of the city. It took about 20 minutes to walk down the hill to the city centre, and it was a 7 Euro taxi ride home. You can also take the bus although we didn't end up investigating this option during our stay.
The hotel is clean and modern with nice rooms and friendly front desk staff. The beds are moderately comfortable (but not terribly cozy) and the pillows are thin.
The weather was warm for December (+23C during the day) and our room was very warm and unfortunately the cooling system would only put out warm air. We left the balcony door open at night but the consequential street noise was unfortunate.
The walls are a bit thin and there is a fair amount of sound transmission between rooms. The hardwood floors are nice but when someone next door is wearing high heels the clacking does get a bit annoying.
Parking is free out front and the Internet is also free and fast.
The staff are great, very friendly and pointed out all of the highlights on the map on what we should see in town, directions for transit and walking, and always greeted us with a smile when we entered the hotel.
Overall a very nice hotel with great staff, good location, and I would recommend this property.

How to control K or M aperture from the camera in Av mode with the use of a small peice of aluminum foil. You can also use some small peices of tape to get proper aperture readisng if you so desire.

Rather than write up all of this info again I am just providing some links to previous experiments that I have done. I thought that some of you might find this interesting and perhaps useful.

MINNEAPOLIS - OCTOBER 05: Defensive end Jared Allen #69 of the Minnesota Vikings celebrates after a sack during the Monday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers on October 5, 2009 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Jared Allen's reputation as one of the league's best pass rushers has earned him extra attention from opposing offenses. Now, Allen and the Chicago Bears are both saying his reputation in a different manner will save him from any extra attention on Sunday. Allen, who knocked out Chicago Bears offensive linemen Lance Louis with a vicious block on an interception return when the two teams met just two weeks ago, doesn't expect to encounter any payback when the Minnesota Vikings host Chicago this weekend. Meanwhile, the Bears are saying the same thing in advance of the game, trusting that Allen didn't intend to injure Louis, who is out for the season with a knee injury because of the hit. "I don't think that Jared is that type of player," Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler said Wednesday in a conference call with Minnesota reporters. "I don't think he was out intentionally to hurt anybody. I've played against him when we were in Denver and he was with the Chiefs, and n...

Picture: Rosario Dawson Whitney Contemporaries Art Party benefiting the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Program New York City, USA - 06.06.07
Actress Rosario Dawson landed the role of temptress ROXANE in OLIVER STONE's new epic Alexander because the director thought she looked like Angelina Jolie.
Stone and the producers had their hearts set on casting an unnamed French actress as historical hero ALEXANDER THE GREAT's wife, but they agreed to meet Dawson and the director became convinced he'd found his Roxane the minute she walked in the room.
Dawson explains, "He was looking and looking at me and he said, 'On-camera you look a lot like Angelina Jolie - the strong jaw, the lips.'"
Stone felt he could use the actresses' similarities to enhance the Oedipal feel of his film. Jolie plays Alexander's (Colin Farrell) mother in the film.
Dawson adds, "(He said) He (Alexander) was notoriously gay...and I like to think that something about Roxane reminds him of his mother. An Oedipal thing. I want to play off that.'"04/11/2004 02:39
