High School Freshman Confounds Researchers, Invents New Pancreatic Cancer Test

15-year-old nabs $100,000 top prize in Intel-sponsored competition; his "dipstick" test is 90 percent accurate
Jack Andraka. Andraka.
"Keep that last name in mind. You're going to read about him a lot in the years to come. What I tell my lab is, 'Think of Thomas Edison and the light bulb.' This kid is the Edison of our times. There are going to be a lot of light bulbs coming from him."
Those are
bold words
, bolder still given that their source is one of the top medical researchers in the nation. But
Dr. Anirban Maitra
, a pathology professor at
Johns Hopkins University
firmly believes what he says.
I. HS Freshman Invents Test That's 100x as Sensitive
The invention is incredible. A "dipstick" style sensor, it is 90 percent accurate at testing for pancreatic cancer in blood samples. It's also being considered as a prime candidate for testing for other diseases.
When it comes to pancreatic cancer timing is crucial. Late detection or refusal to seek treatment can be deadly. Indeed, this same cancer took a great toll on tech luminary and Apple, Inc. (
) founder Steven P. Jobs, first
claiming his liver
with its complications, and
later his life
Incredibly, Mr. Andraka, a mere boy at 15, claims to have come up with the underlying idea for his method at just 3 years old, when he found that by dropping objects into a flowing river, he could test the current. Encouraged by his parents -- a civil engineer (his father) and an anesthetist (his mother) -- and their small library of science magazines, the spark grew in the young man's mind.

That spark grew into the fire of a bold idea, after Mr. Andraka emailed 200 Johns Hopkins professors,
University of Maryland
professors, and officials at the
National Institutes of Health
, trying to get somebody to let him use their lab to create a dipstick test for disease.
Most faculty members expressed little interest. But after about 200 emails, Dr. Maitra received a message from the boy and was intrigued. Months later they had a sensor that was an estimated 100 times more accurate than current tests, dozens of times faster, but critically much less expensive at only 3 cents per test.
Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease and early detection is critical.

The test measures the level of mesothelin, a protein whose typically low levels spike in the bloodstream in individuals with early stages of pancreatic cancer. Soon the test may be deployed "in the wild" saving many lives.
II. Honored For Excellence
For that amazing innovation a much deserving Mr. Andraka received the nod at the recent
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
(ISEF), winning the top $75,000 USD prize sponsored by Intel Corp. (
The young "Tony Stark" is only in high school at North County HS, a Baltimore, Maryland area school, but he is about to have a rare honor most high school students could only dream of -- speaking to the U.S. Congress. He will deliver a talk next month as part of the
Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Day
He comments, "It's been my childhood dream to go to ISEF, and I never thought I would go onto that stage as the Gordon E. Moore Award winner. This was a big accomplishment for me. It fulfilled my biggest and wildest dreams. But also, it means that I can actually get the word out about this deadly disease and this new test that I use to detect it."
While the freshman may be living an unusual life, he is a typical young man in at least one way -- he's fiercely competitive with his older brother, Luke. Luke is also a ISEF winner, taking home $96,000 USD in 2010 for his work on how acid mine drainage affected the environment.
Jack and his brother Luke are both Intel Science Fair winners. [Image Source: Hot Hardware]
Luke and Jack are testement to what natural talent, solid parenting, and a school that gives its excelling students flexibility to explore independent studies, can do. Both young men look to have bright futures as inventors and entrepeneurs.

Work in Progress in the Social Studies (WIPSS): 2016/7
20th ANNIVERSARY YEAR
Tuesday 10 January:
Fordist or Post-Fordist?
Manufacturing Firms in Malta analysed through Economic Sociology
Dylan Cassar
University of Malta
The second half of the 20th Century saw Malta transitioning from a colony dependent on its colonial power to a sovereign nation-state. Such a shift, partially and initially, came through a strategy prioritising an export-led type of industrialisation fuelled by foreign investment. A number of such multinational companies still hold a presence in Malta, albeit in a number of cases these being physiognomically distinct from their original state. This study firstly aims to sociologically look at the industrial organisation, evolving or otherwise, of said manufacturing companies in terms of 'the Fordist' and 'the post-Fordist'. It is secondly concerned with the relationships and practices they hold with locally-owned SMEs, which would represent a possible overcoming of a rigid and classical dual economy composed on the one hand of the foreign-owned company, and the domestic SME on the other. These concerns are dealt with by presenting a set of evolving scenarios involving two comparable foreign-owned cases and nine small local enterprises acting as support-enterprises to the cases. The findings reveal a diachronic interplay between environmental structural constraints on and agency-driven action by the case studies, as well as divergent interfirm practices contingent on the particularities of the firms and the histories of the relationships.
Dylan Cassar has completed an undergraduate and a Master's degree in sociology at the University of Malta. His academic and research interests lie in the political economy and economic sociology of development with particular attention to transitioning and emerging economies.
Tuesday 10 January, 1800-1900hrs, followed by discussion at the Faculty of Arts Library.
Convenors: Paul Clough, Peter Mayo, Michael Briguglio.

Cast iron is an alloy of iron metal with various other elements; an alloy being a mixture of elements to make an improved material for a desired purpose. Our cast iron coat hooks are ideal for classic interior design, or for strong and sturdy purposes. Cast iron is generally used for its resistance to deformation, i.e. it does not bend easily. It is extremely hard wearing, with one of its primary uses in engineering applications. This makes cast iron an ideal material for coat hooks, which are intended to last. Continue reading

The Joy of Antique Coat Hooks
Antique items are usually hundreds of years old, and exude intricacy and beauty. Antiques can be found anywhere; sometimes locating them can be completely unexpected. If you are actively searching for antique items, for example, antique coat hooks, dressers or drawer handles, look out for items that show quality craftsmanship, and a high attention to detail. Our antique coat hooks can enhance a room in your home, as they are bursting with detail and artistic ornateness. Small antique items and larger furniture pieces are hugely popular currently, not only for their distinct look and practicality, but because their value does not usually depreciate.
To locate antique items, local antique shops, garage sales, antique houses or reclamation sites can be an excellent place to find individual pieces. For online shoppers, eBay, Gumtree and Craigslist can be excellent sites for a wide variety of antique pieces. Some highly effective key words to use in your searches are: arts and crafts; Georgian; Regency; American Pastoral; and Victorian. Look out for common materials too, such as items made from mahogany, oak, pine, walnut, rosewood, and sometimes elm.
Finding genuine antiques this way however, can be risky, and you may not get exactly what you're looking for, especially if a set of items is required. Genuine antique items can also be pricey, we recommend going to a reputable dealer if a real antique piece is required. It can also hard to locate sets of antique items, as they can often get separated and mixed up over the years since their construction. Keep this in mind when buying, as some items in a set might not be genuine.
If however, you're looking for a set of antique items, such as a set of antique coat hooks to complete a specific look in your home, we recommend buying antique style reproductions or items with a vintage style look, which can be a much more reasonable price, but still retain the high quality and intricacy desired.
Some of our favourite antique style coat hooks are shown below. We produce our hooks in India and they are experts in production antique brass metal finished.

It never fails. As each question flashes across the screen, my mind races.
"Well...I don't think he used meth...how do I REALLY know?"
"He said he was negative, but can I be for sure?"
"Can people see me?"
"Should I use my real name?"
"Wait...How many people have I been with???"
I can't really compare myself to others in the gay community, however subjectively speaking, I don't think I'm overly sexually active. I do know the choices I've made and I chose not have shame around them, yet here I am shaking and sweating, as if I've never done this before. I've been a performer my whole life, entertained crowds of hundreds of people, yet waiting these 15 minutes right now is scaring the you-know-what out of me.
The dichotomy around this whole issue is that for the past 2 years, I've been working and volunteering with the HIV positive community. I've spent most of that time devoted to working on ending the stigma around HIV. So intellectually, I get this. My mind knows this process. During my time volunteering I've bonded closely with specific individuals that have moved and transformed me on an emotional level.
So... why? Why is it that every time I get tested, this fear won't escape from me?
That emotional connection of how my life can change in what is now the next 10 minutes, has my palms sweating and my mouth dry. I close my eyes, take deep breaths, listen to the universe, and take myself to another place.
I see the faces of all the HIV+ people in my life. I see them happy, smiling, inspiring others, and being unstoppable. It's at that moment I open my eyes and the first thing I see is a piece of art work on the shelf in the store. It just so happens to be a canvas of the original british slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On"
Seconds after I see this, I am called in to receive my results. My heart rate has gone down and I walk forward doing just what the sign said, because I know that whatever I'm about to hear -- there is love for me, there is support for me, and no matter what obstacles come my way, I will find a way to "Keep Calm and Carry On"

What's it like to live in Peterhead?
How does it compare to the areas around? Is it a safe area?

From experience I found Peterhead a very unpleasent place to live. There is nothing to do in the area, there are a few resturants, but you have a wide variety of Takeaway as there is 1+ on every street. The locals arevery unfriendly and unless you are born and bred in the area you are basically not welcome or accepted. If you like to hear others opinions on you then this is the town for you as they dont hold back ( they dont take time to get to know you, as i said if your not from the area they dont say a nice word to you) THIS IS SPEAKING FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE.Answered on Nov 24 2009, Report content
I would suggest that you look at the local authorities' website or police.gov to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website which gives you an up to date overview of the area. I would also visit the area and ask some locals.Answered on Aug 4 2011, Report content
In reply to rosie113, sorry your experience of Peterhead was so bad but I do not think Peterhead is any better or worse than any other town. Yes there are many charity shops and the centre looks a but run down,the same as any Town,but moves are afoot to change that. Over the last 40yr Peterhead has been fortunate in its location to attract a lot of industry and work,with the result that a lot of people have located to Peterhead. Having worked with many of them and being born in Peterhead myself I am surprised to find that none would move from Peterhead even though many are well travelled. Yes I agree that you might find or feel that "There is nothing to do" I mean with so many golf courses, a fooyball Club, beaches a Community centre with swimming pool and cinema a short journey to the Oil Capital of Aberdeen (probably the nicest city in Scotland) with the Trump Golf course and as many shops as facilities you could want you have every reason to feel deprived. But back to the people of Peterhead,they do not suffer fools gladly.

Hi, We would suggest that you get in touch with local estate agents in order to get some background about the area. You can search for agents using the 'find agents' tab on the top of the Zoopla Page. We hope this helps.Answered on Oct 1 2013, Report content
People wherever you are all different. It takes time to make friends anywhere including Peterhead. We have been here a couple of years after 20+ on the West coast. People are people, there are also good and bad points about the area. the centre in dying to be blunt, padestrianised i.e. no cars so no through traffic means no customers! two indian restaurants....and two pub/hotels do food thats it. Sports are limited to the leisure centre with no outside facilities, there is a runing track (falling apart) next to the football club which has the best pitches (football club use) outsiide the Prison which has 4 (FOUR) all weather pitches, go figure on that one!!!!!! there is a swing park there also.... everything is broken (hear that anyone at the council EVERYTHING! thats 5/7/14! There are the beaches which are great one near the prison almost inaccessable, and one next to the golf club, oh and one at the harbour, a few swing parks 4 or 5 I think for population of 20000. The people are friendly if you make the effort to talk to them, so make the effort most are friendly (most). Aberdeen in not a patch on Glasgow, where has all the tax revenue gone in the Oil Capitol! not in to the area that is for sure! No railway north of Aberdeen! so you rely on Death Race 2014 A90!! seriously I have lived all over the UK commuted in London and knowhere repeat knowhere are drivers so happy to risk their own and everyone elses life on the road, it is only 30 miles from Peterhead to Aberdeen! slow down!! another death 2 week ago at Peterhead!! slow down and that is everyone old and young the road will be up graded to Ellon and that is it!! really how silly is that!! You have to drive so defensively it is untrue. and why is there 1 (one) speed camera only on the whole road to the Broch?? and where are the Police?? If you intend to drive, no option!! SUV or 4x4 (big) only so when some **** *** does hit you, you are safeish!! Summary People friendly if you take the time to speak to them allow 4 years! area miles from anywhere therefore limited choice or pay more for everything. see Graham for your fish though really nice guy (local) and great fish!Answered on Jul 9 2014, Report content

On days like today when the sky is gloomy and the rain doesn't ever seem to cease, there comes a cold chill that runs through my home and it reminds me of Autumn all over again.
After having almost a full week of 75 degree weather of bright sunlight and warmth, a temperature of what most New Yorkers felt was summer, today's weather puts a damper on my excitement of Spring. The only way to overcome this dull feeling of having the "blues" is to bake something warm.
Luckily for me, I had a few extra apples that needed to be eaten. With my pre-existing trouble of consuming raw fruits, I decided to bake them into a bread. But this bread is no traditional bread; chocolate chips are incorporated into the loaf to give it an extra taste of sweetness.
The Chocolate Apple Bread has a complex medley of different textures and flavors. You get everything from delicious baked apples to a crunchy crumb topping of walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips. A definite must have for breakfast or as a snack for any bread lover.
The sweet aroma is very warm and inviting. It will have you begging for more as I have already found myself victim of yearning for a second slice. So you too just may find yourself grabbing a slice or maybe two in one hand and a cup of coffee or tea in the other on your way about your daily routine. I like to compliment mine with a glass of milk :-)
As for the recipe, I've added a couple of changes that is completely optional. The latter change is one I highly recommend if you want a crumb topping that adheres to the bread.
For one, breads lack color and they're supposed to. From previous experience of baking apples, I already knew that the color of the red skin from the apples would disappear. Without going crazy on adding colors (and you most certainly can add more or omit), I decided to add a combination of red semi-sweet chocolate morsels along with the milk chocolate chips to give the bread the illusion of the red skin from the apple pieces.
Secondly, I altered the walnut-cinnamon-sugar crumb topping because I found that the original recipe didn't have an ingredient to properly adhere the crumb mix onto the top of the loaf. I added in a tablespoon of margarine which is a common ingredient used to bind dry ingredients together for crumb toppings.
Despite the fact that I am not a bread lover but a cake lover, I found myself loving this recipe and will definitely make this again. Possibly with a change of apples such as Granny Smith the second time around.
Chocolate Apple Bread
Crumb Topping:
2 T white sugar
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/4 C finely chopped walnuts
- 1 T margarine
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/2 C margarine, softened
1 C white sugar
2 eggs
1 t pure vanilla extract
2 T buttermilk
1 C chopped apples
1/2 C walnuts
- 1/4 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
- To make the topping, in a small bowl mix the sugar, cinnamon and finely chopped walnuts. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in apples, walnuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with topping.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool on a wire rack.
- Add 1 tablespoon of margarine as a binding ingredient to the crumb topping so it can properly adhere to the top of the bread loaf.
Chocolate Apple Bread recipe slightly adapted from allrecipes.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) December 01, 2009 -- In the early days of the horse and carriage Obadiah Elliotâs invention of the leaf spring in 1804 partially addressed the problem with the use of these springs, and today springs such as Coil Springs, Torson Bars, and Leaf Springs, are used in conjunction with shock absorbers to dampen the vertical pressure of the road on the car. Primary purpose of the shock absorber is to control spring and suspension movement.
In 1926 Monroe invented what was considered to be the first Shock Absorber known as the âshock Eliminatorâ In a survey recently carried out for Monroe a world leader in the manufacture and supply of shock absorbers shows that most people are unclear about their function and when there is a need to replace them. Shock absorbers not only affect the handling of a car but can also effect a carâs braking, and so vitally important to have them checked regularly and replaced if worn.
The motorists on the whole do not acquaint themselves on how the systems of their car work, and when talking of suspension in your vehicle, we are talking about springs that suspend the weight of the vehicle and absorb shocks when driving over rough surfaces. All vehicles have suspension systems and the component parts being sway bars, the shocks and struts. Knowledge of the system and component parts of your vehicle will be easier if something should go wrong thus enabling you to have an idea of the problem.
A spokesman for Elite Direct said âproblems with suspension units are often only detected once they become worn or faulty; we do sports and performance suspension and have types and brands for all makes of cars. We also stock a wide range of products from suspension struts, coils or shocksâ.

Animals / Mammal Facts / Dogs - The Canidae Family, Good Runners / Swift Fox - Nighttime Prairie Hunter
Swift Fox - Nighttime Prairie Hunter
The swift fox is well suited to the high plains of North America where it roams its range. Here the golden fields cloak the grey, orange, and white-colored fox. Its name accurately describes its locomotive abilities: in the flat, open terrain it can outrun all but the fastest predators. Small mammals of the prairies such as rabbits, rats, mice, and squirrels make up most of this night hunter's diet. It also eats birds, insects, lizards, and vegetation.
The swift fox resembles the kit fox in size and weight, as well as general body characteristics except that the swift fox has a slightly broader skull and does not have the trademark big ears that the kit fox needs in its desert terrain. Some scientists do consider both foxes the same species. In western Texas and eastern New Mexico there is a small area where the ranges of the two species overlap, and the two species can interbreed. The swift fox does sometimes leave the prairies for the desert. For the most part however, the swift fox sticks to its grassland habitat from Texas northward into Canada and the kit fox sticks to its desert.
In the early 20th century, the species population declined drastically. The agile canid often took the poisoned bait intended to control the populations of other animals like its larger canid relatives the coyote and the wolf. The coyote itself is not a very nice relative as it will sometimes prey upon the fox. Also, the conversion of the prairie to cropland destroyed much of the fox's habitat. The species is protected in some US states and has been reintroduced in Canada but the population count is not known exactly.
Breeding season for the foxes is from December to February. Two to seven young will be born in a litter and the pups emerge from their underground den at three weeks. Both parents begin showing them how to play and hunt soon after that. The males enjoy family life and if the female dies, the male will raise the pups alone. The parents may move the family frequently from den to den as they look for prey. The pups will stick around learning the basics of fox life with their parents until the fall.

Pep Guardiola's bold plan to attack backfired as Manchester City crashed out of the Champions League in Monaco yesterday morning (Singapore time).
This game was significant not so much for City's victory, courtesy of some awful Bruce Grobbelaar goalkeeping blunders but the fact that it represented a low point in Liverpool's progress to the title under Bob Paisley.
City were lacklustre on the night and Monaco made light of the absence of Radamel Falcao, scorer of two goals in the pulsating first leg, with a hip injury. "I tried, I tried - and I will try again", said Guardiola.
"I think we can reach the final, but of course the other teams will think the same. They are a top, top team", Guardiola told a news conference Tuesday.
"We have to play for more than 45 minutes".
The youngster probably had a better night than most on the back line, but this was still a performance to forget for every defender, including Stones. "I don't know another way".
"It is a big difference coming here, the most hard league in the world". Bottom club City produced spirited resistance but Rush finished them off after a length-of-the-pitch counter-attack. I changed it and said: "'How can they have three or four days off or something?' It was a silly decision, but it was only because I was not used to it". "Best team in the world scoring goals".
Tillerson shuns all but conservative website on Asia tour
Last week, the State Department officially offered McPike an opportunity to cover the secretary's upcoming trip to Asia. Either circumstances will remain the same, and the press will still have limited access to Tillerson when he travels.
Moises Henriques hopeful Pat Cummins is ready for Test return in India
I'm not going to hold a banner saying "don't speak ill about me". "Criticism or praise are totally detached from me". However Kohli don't believe pitch to be the sole reason for such low totals and dearth of big innings.
A Carnival Cruise Ship Almost Hit Some Jet Skiers
While attempting to get back on board, the panicked vacationer accidentally flipped the jet ski over completely. The incident occurred Saturday as the Carnival Magic was departing Port Canaveral harbor.
"That probably surprises me more than anything, that a player would miss that opportunity". Then Neymar's individual brilliance, a free-kick, a penalty and a measured pass led to three quick goals as the PSG defence capitulated under huge pressure. "It's the only way to beat a team like this".
He wants his players on the front foot from the start and to not think about how to control the match.
What do you expect, Jurgen, small teams to play it out from the back, make it easy for you and thank you for the footballing lesson at the end?!
Guardiola said: "It's not about the defence".
Atletico Madrid won the first leg 4-2 away to Bayer Leverkusen, so their passage to the quarter-finals was never really in doubt. I believe it's one defeat in 23 games. Maybe a few people are but I am not. If I was still playing, I'd be anxious about the speed they possess.
The result, coming in Guardiola's 100th match in European competition, sees the City manager fail to reach the Champions League quarter-final stage for the first time in his managerial career.
Klopp has warned his squad they can not afford to be passive at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday or they risk being bypassed by City's ball players and so the plan is likely to be to go on the attack. "But it's my eighth year (as a manager) and I knew how complicated this competition is".

Scientists Catch Star And Possible Black Hole In A Rapid, Dangerous Dance
At the time, the X9 discovery was unusual because black holes typically were not found in globular star clusters, like X9's. The scientists also found evidence of large amounts of oxygen in the system, an element found in white dwarfs.
Trump sending massive USA attack force to OBLITERATE ISIS terror capital Raqqa
Turkey has declared the YPG a terrorist organization and considers it to be linked to its own home-grown Kurdish insurgency. SDF fighters have been on the offensive in the Raqqa area since November and have closed major supply roads used by IS.
Trump budget goes big on border wall, short on agents
Funding for the government runs out in late April. "And so now Donald Trump wants the American taxpayers to pay for it". Building a wall - and having Mexico pay for it - was a regularly repeated campaign pledge of Trump's.

Tillerson to visit DMZ as part of S. Korean tour
Kishida said he had conveyed Japan's views to Tillerson for consideration during the policy review, but he didn't go into details. The regime change idea may resemble past actions like the 2003 invasion of Iraq that toppled Saddam Hussein.

One of the more astute Tuesday morning reflections on the presidential debate comes from Joe Concha, media reporter for The Hill.
Concha isn't a guest contributor at the prestigious, politically centered Washington newspaper, he's a staid staffer, considered among the savviest analysts of media performance working today. What he concludes in his commentary is aptly expressed in the headline, "NBC's Lester Holt emerges from debate bruised and partisan."

The goodie bag for the Oscar contenders this year is impressive. Hell, it's worth getting an Oscar nomination just to get one:
This year's goody bags include a $12,000 trip to Australia, condoms, a $600 acupuncture appointment and a package of 10 personal training sessions valued at $850. Circus lessons for the nominee's children worth $400 are also included, as well as a $5,000 face-lift procedure, a $1,800 one-year membership to Heathrow Airport's private VIP service, a $3,000 stay at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico, and Windex.
David and Goliath narrative reaches its climax in teasers for Oscar:
"Lincoln," "Argo" in tight race as Oscars roll out red carpet
"Lincoln" goes into Sunday's three-hour plus ceremony with a leading 12 nominations, including a directing nod for double Oscar winner Steven Spielberg. But its front-runner Best Picture status has been dented by the six-week victory streak enjoyed at other Hollywood awards by Ben Affleck's "Argo."
Django wants you to want violence — disturbs this Colorado writer:
So, too, do I go to malls, to churches, to public gatherings where political figures speak — all places where someone has inflicted violence. What were those thugs feeling when they let loose? At the moment of their massacres, were they also fueled by anger, powerlessness, a need to snuff out what they perceived as evil?
As I watch "Django," I, too, can think of no other way to escape the chains of my wrath than to see those people dead. Do I actually share something in common with the worst of the worst?
Forbes Magazine – "Oscars 2013 – Please, Anything but Argo": it basically comes down to the mostly faceless house guests.
Wired Magazine – Zero Dark Thirty should win the Oscar. Really? Even after Argo was based on an article from Wired magazine?
Sasha Stone has been around the Oscar scene since 1999. Almost everything on this website is her fault.
We should all get something for enduring this crazy ass season!
I'll start the love in now. Sasha, you did stellar work this year. Can't wait for the year ahead!
LOL I am sorry, it was hard to read the rest of this article after seeing the goody bags. WOW Condoms, Facelifts and Acupuncture all the more enjoyable on your Aussie Vacation. LOL
Forgot about the Circus lessons. Oh YEAH!!!!
circus lessons are fun.
a $5,000 face-lift procedure
Bet Nicole Kidman is pissed she got snubbed.
Condoms lol. Do they hand them out in a variety of sizes? I get the feeling David O. Russell and Denzel Washington might not match up.
MSNBC/Today Show Oscar Day poll: Argo, Lincolln neck and neck for BP (37-34%). Lawrence (49%) far out in front of Chastain (26%). Riva? Non-factor (8%). DDL, TLJ runaway leaders. Hathaway barely holding off Field.
What's Quvenzhané going to do with condoms and a free face-lift?
^At least she can have some circus lessons…
Does anyone have the order of the awards presentation?
Spacey, ask and ye shall receive; hat tip: Israel's Cinemascope blog:
Awesome. thanks, Paul.

fudge me! whistle at the generous bounty in that goodie bag to all nominees,and they say there are losers in this game, if that doesnt cushion the said feeling of loss, these are pampered elite indeed!
This could be one ginormous clusterfrak of a show if Deadline's Nikki Finke is to be believed:
EXCLUSIVE: What is maybe the most anticipated Academy Awards in recent memory is also mutating into what could be one of the longest Oscars in Hollywood history. I can feel a yawnfest coming on already. Sources tells me that last week the show clocked in at 3 hours and 40 minutes. Then it was shortened. But now the telecast doesn't even commence presenting the Best Picture Oscar until after 3 hours and 23 minutes. And that's only if everything goes according to schedule – which it never does. The telecast's opening number lasts a full 15 minutes in what is the prelude to the most music-filled Academy Awards ever. So this could easily become an Oscar ceremony lasting 4-plus hours. (The longest on record is 4 hours, 23 minutes in 2002.) That's not good news for longtime Academy Awards broadcaster ABC whose research demonstrates that, after 11 PM East Coast Time, the network loses 100,000 people per minute. That could hurt ratings for Sunday's show that contains more suspense than in recent years. At around $1.7 million to $1.8 million for a 30-second spot, the Disney-owned ABC has sold out its ad inventory at prices higher than the network has charged since 2008 when the economy started to tank.
I'm routinely in the habit of proclaiming doom and gloom every time these marquee Hollywood awards celebrate the movie season. But not this time around. Because I don't anticipate a snorefest. Rarely have so many of the 24 categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplays, and more been up for grabs. Is it Jennifer Lawrence or Jessica Chastain or the 85-year-old French star Emmanuelle Riva of Amour? Is it Steven Spielberg or Ang Lee or dark horse David O Russell? Is it Argo or Lincoln or shocker Silver Linings Playbook? Nobody knows for sure.
Another rarity is that moviegoers across North America and many markets overseas actually have seen tonight's nominated films and performances. That's because 6 of the 9 Best Picture contenders have grossed over $100 million domestically and a 7th is close. (By contrast, last year's winner The Artist only grossed $44M all in, and 2009′s The Hurt Locker just $17M.) Every major studio has product in contention. And independent studio The Weinstein Company has two solid grossing pics in the mix.
Given all this good news, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is daring to hope that tonight's show will be a rare ratings blowout. It's possible. Last year's show was up a slight 4% from 2011 and the second most watched Oscars in the past half decade with 39.3 million viewers. But one problem is that TV toon creator Seth MacFarlane isn't a familiar face to American audiences. Though his global hit movie Ted is – and Universal is paying for the foul-mouthed teddy bear to appear alongside Mark Wahlberg. trying to push popular pics not nominated much, the Academy arranged for 5 members of last summer's mega-blockbuster Marvel's The Avengers to present Oscars at the Dolby Theater tonight.
But the telecast's producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have musicals on their resumes so they've planned a tribute to the movie musicals of the past decade, including their own Best Picture winner Chicago featuring an on-stage reunion of Catherine Zeta Jones, Renee Zellweger, Queen Latifah and Richard Gere. Jennifer Hudson will reprise Dreamgirls, and odds are good that Barbra Streisand will sing The Way We Were as a tribute to the late Marvin Hamlisch.
Grammy-winner Adele will be part of the James Bond special celebrating 50 years of the spy film franchise. I've learned it was impossible to get all the actors who played 007 together on one stage because of various behind-the-scenes fusses and feuds over the years. All in all there are so many performers scheduled that there's a shortage of dressing rooms. And if even a few participants are a minute or two late hitting a mark, then this show's length could wind up in the history books.
The goodie bag is worth a whopping 45K in total value according to the press release.
And what would Riva use the condoms for?
I *heart* you, LA Times critic Mary McNamara: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/moviesnow/la-et-mn-critics-notebook-oscars-20130222,0,7256817.story
The members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are always happy to acknowledge big action movies, franchise films and mega-hits — especially if there's a possibility they'll boost the ratings of the Oscars telecast and bring in the young folks.
This year's producers tapped comic hipster and "Family Guy" Seth MacFarlane to host Sunday's ceremony. The super-cool cast of the "The Avengers" was asked to reassemble for the show, and James Bond will be feted for turning 50 years young.
Yes, indeed, the academy clearly understands the value of really big movies, it just doesn't like to nominate them for the really big awards. Even if it means, as it did this year, leaving the 10th slot for best picture blank.
The best-picture omission of the latest Bond film, "Skyfall," creates a particularly hilarious bit of Oscar weirdness. On Sunday night, the academy will rhapsodize a character it utterly neglected in the major categories despite the near-universal opinion that "Skyfall" moved far beyond its franchise status to become a terrific movie. Not only did Daniel Craig breathe new life into an icon teetering on the archaic but Dame Judi Dench's formidable M character also died, for heaven's sake. In any other sort of film, that scene alone (are those tears, Mr. Bond?) would have triggered an immediate "nominations all around" reaction.
But "Skyfall" does not fit into the Oscars' strangely limited and calcified definition of excellence. Neither does "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Avengers" or "The Hunger Games," although all are excellent movies, well-cast and acted from fine scripts made better by good direction. Alas, they were also fun, and fun no longer fits the list of qualifiers for Oscar quality after all the Usual Suspects (grim, inspirational, historical), have been named.
More important, these films were also four of the top domestic-grossing films of 2012, something the academy so frowns upon during Oscar season that Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee have taken to expressing bafflement at the strong box office for their respective best picture nominees "Lincoln" and "Life of Pi," as if that required an apology.
Oscar nods for many reasons — to encourage new kinds of moviemaking ("Slumdog Millionaire") or welcome those much missed ("Argo"), to celebrate new voices ("Juno") or honor old ones (any Clint Eastwood movie). In the end, though, it's supposed to be about excellence, and the academy has become unforgivably unimaginative in its definition. Excellence is not even close to being synonymous with popularity, but it isn't antithetical either. Just as a popular, pretty girl can be smart, a popcorn hit can be Oscar-worthy.
After "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won best picture titles in 2003 and 2004, members of the academy seemed to go into limited audience lockdown. The academy's taste turned so self-consciously exquisite, the definition of "good" so alarmingly narrow, that few moviegoers had actually seen most of the nominated films.
Even the academy recognized there was a problem. In 2009, the number of potential best picture nominees doubled, from five to 10. Then-President Sid Ganis proclaimed a new age of the wider net; never again, he implied, would a film like 2008's "The Dark Knight" be excluded from the hallowed roll call.
Tell that to Christopher Nolan. This year, "The Dark Knight Rises" was excluded from not only the best picture, it was excluded from all the nominations. (Yes, that's right, "Snow White and the Huntsman" got more nominations than did "The Dark Knight Rises.")
When glancing at a list of nominees, or potential nominees, it might help to ask: Would I watch this movie more than once? More than twice? Would I pay a sum of my own money to possess it? Excellence sustains itself over the years. How many repeat viewings of "The Artist" will there be, really?
Things have gotten so out of hand that when this paper published a report on the demographics of the academy last year, no one was surprised by the revelation that the members' median age was 62, that 94% (94!) were white and 77% male. The voting trends of the last 10 years have been so curmudgeonly old-white-guy cinephile that if "Star Wars" opened today, it probably wouldn't get a best picture nomination either.
Which is odd, because frankly (cue multi-paragraph irate emails), it is, in many ways, much more difficult to make a thoughtful and resonant genre action film than it is to make a thoughtful and resonant historical biopic. Sure, Daniel Day-Lewis was great in "Lincoln," but how much effort and imagination does it take to make Abraham Lincoln seem smart and likable? Not as much as it does to play both Dr. Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk believably. Many performers have done a good Lincoln, but how many actors were felled by the Hulk before Mark Ruffalo nailed it in "The Avengers"?
A more serious argument could be made that Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway gave better performances in more challenging roles as Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" and Catwoman in "Dark Knight Rises." Yes, they were terrific as Tiffany and Fantine in "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Les Misérables," for which they are nominated. But to create an emotionally provocative and complicated young woman in a mondo-budget, CG-enhanced whirlwind of plot, violence and geek-fan expectations is an act that borders on the miraculous.
Actually, Hathaway did that in "Les Misérables" too, but with its built-in rabid fan base and theatrical back story (it had its premiere in London!), "Les Miz" was an Oscar shoo-in the moment Hugh Jackman said, "I'm in." Never mind that everyone agreed at least one of its major roles was miscast, or that even the most positive reviews acknowledged it never quite achieved liftoff, the bar "Les Miz" had to clear to make the various Oscar lists was much lower than the ones set for films of more populist genres.
In many ways, "The Dark Knight" was superior to "Les Miz," and "The Hunger Games" could certainly go toe-to-toe with the similarly themed "Beasts of the Southern Wild." And there was some early talk of nominations for these films, of Joss Whedon getting some love for making "The Avengers," a fine, funny and very literate film, out of a cast of divas and a pretty crazy comic book series.
But in the end, this is the same academy that last year gave a best picture nomination to "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" but not the critically acclaimed "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," the final film of the wizard series, which over eight unprecedented years received no big awards and only a handful of below-the-line nominations.
Then again, three years ago, it did nominate "Avatar." More heartening still, that same year, the surprise sci-fi hit "District 9" made the best picture list.
It didn't win, of course, but audiences everywhere were grateful just for the nomination.
There's a huge gap between the supporting awards
And what would Riva use the condoms for?
Sex. What would you use them for?
The circus lessons are for the nominees' children. Quvenzhane doesn't have children. She'd better get busy quick! She defs won't need those condoms.
I wish Film Editing was on early. If Argo didn't win it, it'd be such an exciting night! But it's not. Still, it's sure to be an exciting night.
Interesting that the Wired piece on Zero Dark Thirty hit the web around the same time Ali Soufan dropped another load on the movie in The New York Times also right around Timothy Egan, in the same paper, also deeming it is a shame that Zero Dark Thirty will likely be shut-out. So much retrospective on the movie being shunned. Can we at least see if it wins something?
oooh this sounds like lots of fun! i love the glitz of hollywood …
in france the industry and esp actors are under the spotlight of a financial inquisition , maoning because the top ten actors earn 2 to 1 million euros per film or per all films they did in the fiscal year, and people find that amount insane! this makes me laugh when you think about the top 20 actors salary in america!
bet they didnt get the same goodies at the cesars loll
That's too bad about not getting all the Bond actors on the stage at once, that would've been an incredible moment.
So I'm the only one who noticed the goody bag contains Windex?
Fancy stuff, fancy stuff, fancy stuff and then… Windex.
But then again My Big Fat Greek Wedding did show how useful Windex can be.
Fancy stuff, fancy stuff, fancy stuff and then… Windex.
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Ammonia who?
Ammonia bird in a gilded cage.
Off topic:
I thought I've said everything I had to say about (this year's Oscar-)films – after my last comment one week ago. But then I finally saw Amour yesterday. In an arthouse cinema – funnily enough, just one day after its DVD release here in Germany and one day before the Oscars.
And I must say that I was really, really impressed by that film. A calmly and unsentimentally narrated extremely relevant and yet so heartbreaking story, with long shots and without a score – and (last but not least) with a superb acting duo. In short: pure life brought to the screen. And that's what cast a certain spell over me. And definitely something I will not forget.
And after having left the movie theatre I couldn't help thinking about, well, the film itself, of course, but also about the BP contenders I have seen thus far – meaning six out of the nine (in three different cities and over a span of three month): Amour, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook. Exactly the ones that pretty much cover everything concerning our very own life – well, among other things, of course.
Two of them (Amour, Silver Linings Playbook) are about the power of love, two (Argo, Lincoln) are about the pursuit of liberty and the remaining two (Beasts of the Southern Wild, Life of Pi) reflect the mysteries of that life. And all that uniquely captured on screen in 2012 – a really wonderful year for films, IMO.
In that regard I wouldn't mind at all if Argo won Best Picture – now less than ever – and therefore proven my gut feeling about Lincoln's clean sweep so utterly wrong. Since Argo is also about (Hollywood-)films one could argue that it is the only nominated movie that represents the medium 'film' itself (and therefore the rest of the BP nominees) – and that precisely because of the missing BD nomination. I know it might sound a bit odd, but for me it sort of makes sense: just the film, no director as a figurehead – quasi as a symbol.
Anyway, right now I also still wouldn't mind if any of the other nominees won BP. Does that sound too nice, too liberal, too un-edgy? Maybe. But since life itself is already edgy enough why wasting time on bashing, trashing and slashing films.
Thankful for the appearance of Oscar-winner Kate "The GREAT" Winslet (The Reader, The Holiday) in this update! Such a shame she did not win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Sense and Sensibility) she richly deserved that year.
Here's video of Kate Winslet rockin' out on the carpet from that same year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUuj8PN2BwE
Today's the big day.
Thank you, Ryan and Sasha for this site. Thank you for not being cookie-cutter. Sasha, thank you for your passion for "Lincoln" in the face of a lot of criticism on this site and elsewhere on the web. It's easy for me because most years I agree with you. This year you had to handle a lot of bullshit and you never backed down.
Here's to a better race next year!
Can I make a shameless plug?
The Screen on Screen Review of 2012!
BSA first. There you have it; if Arkin pulls off the win there–long night for "Anything but Argo."
soo i saw LIFE OF PI
hmmmm the good visually beautiful
what made me go hmmm there's more to this , the ending when he gave alternate story, clearly this requires a 2nd viewing
the not so great, i was half-asleep for a good portion in the middle of the film until the island bit , the sea motion in addition to monologue was hypnotic, i'd close my eyes ,open them a few minutes later still the tiger and the kid (maybe if the tiger talked ok ok i'm joking)
an interesting effort on ang lee's part, i can see this film growing on me, i watched it instead of my sunday afternoon nap so that might account for my drowsyness
there's a french enigma which this film reminded me of, its about a farmer who has to cross a river on a small craft with a sheep , a wolf and a cabbage and the teacher asks us how is he going to get over with them all intact when he can only have one passenger at a time, because the sheep might eat the cabbage and the wolf might eat the sheep


text: THE 'AFFAIR' AFFAIR Listen: Recently IÕve woke up in the middle of the night to see my husband staring at me. When I ask him whatÕs the matter, he tells me he knows IÕm having an affair. This has happened every night for the past two weeks. Every night I assure him IÕm not having an affair and every night I go back to sleep thinking he believes me. Two days ago, he confronted me during dinner. The kids, thankfully, were eating at a friendÕs house. He would never say who he suspected me of having an affair with or why, but just continued steadfast in his belief of it. I canÕt understand why he would think that or why he would continue to say such a thing. My friend theorized that he wants to have an affair himself and is using the accusations as justification. What do you think? Signed, Faithful Okay: Hmmm. I have no idea. He sounds psycho, almost in a knife-wielding way. How do you feel safety wise? Has he threatened you? Well, even if he hasnÕt, and I havenÕt been married so I donÕt know first-hand, it sounds like a bad situation. ÒAre you having an affair?Ó just doesnÕt translate ÒgoodÓ in any way. Even if youÕre not doing the dirty with someone else, your husband either a: doesnÕt trust you or b: doesnÕt want to trust you. IÕm not sure I agree with your friendÕs theory wholeheartedly. He may just be one of those jealous types (although surely you would have known about that before you married him) and something may have set him off (an innocent conversation, perhaps, or an overheard telephone call; I donÕt know). If thatÕs the case, youÕll need to find out what that was. As to the theory: the fact of the matter is that many people who are cheated on do feel the need to get revenge by sleeping with someone else, too. But who would feel the need to justify the affair before they did it? Why not just have the affair and keep it under wraps? A likelier -- and more painful -- possibility is that heÕs already had an affair. And now that heÕs been unfaithful, heÕs convinced that youÕve been unfaithful, too. If he could do it and you not find out or catch on, he might be worried that youÕve done it and he didnÕt catch on. Thus the suspicion. So what do I think? I think that either way, your marriage is in trouble. Listen: My girlfriend and I, both recent graduates, are up for the same job opening. When we first applied, it was just another position, but now we both really want it. The company is dynamic and in a growth field and the job includes a lot of travel and responsibility. We both agreed from the beginning when applying for the same jobs that we would be adult about it. Now she says that if I love her, IÕll take myself out of the running. IÕm not taking myself out of the running. Is there anything I can say to her to make this go over easier? Signed A Go-getter Grad Okay: Is she crazy? I mean, donÕt say that. IÕm just asking: is she crazy? The way I see it is that you both want this job and IÕm guessing from the economy that neither of you have a job. You need to work as a team; if you stay in, the odds that one of you will get it are much higher. Then the one who gets it can do some networking, pull some strings, and help the other one get a dream job, too. Okay, thatÕs a little simplistic, especially if there are bedtime talks and feelings involved. ItÕs too bad you arenÕt just cold-hearted, business-oriented robots. Then it would be a perfect plan. So to answer your question, there isnÕt much you can say. You could always go the corporate kiss-ass way and say something like, ÒI donÕt need to even bother taking my name out of the hat -- youÕre obviously the best candidate for the job.Ó It is sort of politically dicey to remove yourself from a short list like that; any chance you have for other jobs in the company instantly dry up. You could throw that in there and she might understand. I mean, you donÕt want to commit career-suicide just because youÕre in love. What IÕm thinking here is a ÒI know you are, but what am I?Ó gambit. It goes like this: she says, ÒIf you love me, youÕll remove yourself from consideration.Ó You say, ÒIf you love me, youÕll remove yourself from consideration.Ó Now, unfortunately, if this works, that other guy gets the job. But it probably wonÕt. YouÕll probably decide youÕd much rather one of you got the job and keep both your names on the list. One last thing word of advice. This situation can only get worse. As in, you could get the job. Or she could. If yaÕll canÕt work through the application process, thereÕs no way youÕll be able to deal with the actual selection (unless itÕs that other guy and then misery does love company). You both need (a la Oscar nominated actresses) to be prepared with a Òyou deserved itÓ face. You know the one: disappointed for yourself, but happy for the other person because they really were the best candidate. Even if they werenÕt.

It was the type of game we all thought it would be. A hard hitting, intense battle that at times featured top offensive plays, and tense moments all encased in a raucous atmosphere.
Naturally the game came down to the final moments for it to be decided. This classic game edition would be decided on a fourth and goal from the 1-yard line. The hero was a diving Saints cornerback Jabari Greer who managed to bat-down a pass intended for Atlanta's Roddy White.
The play preserving a 31-27 Saints (4-5) win that handed the Falcons (8-1) their first loss of the season. It was also the 11th win in 13 games for the Saints against the Falcons since 2006. No doubt Who Dats enjoying the fact they got a chance to quite the Falcons' 16-0 chatter from during the week. Not surprisingly though following the game one dirty bird failed to give the Black and Gold credit. "It's not like they came out here and won a game today," Atlanta receiver Roddy White said. "I think we kind of game it to them…We play them in three weeks and we'll be ready."
Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 21 of 32 for 298 yards tossing three touchdowns and pick. One of those touchdowns was to wide receiver Marques Colston who tied Deuce McAllister for the team record in touchdowns with 55 touchdowns. Colston finished with 26 yards on just three catches. Lance Moore had 91 yards on seven catches.
Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was 34 of 52 for 411 passing yards to go with three touchdowns and an interception. The 411 yards was a career best for Ryan.
Tight ends Jimmy Graham and Tony Gonzales had a battle of themselves as both men had solid days. Graham hauled in seven carries for 146 yards to go with two touchdowns. Gonzales had 11 receptions for 122 yards and had two touchdown receptions himself.
One of my keys to the game was the Saints running attack against the Falcons run defense. Atlanta entered the game 25th in the league at stopping the run. The Saints attacked on the ground all game and got things going with a bang in the first quarter thanks to Chris Ivory. Atlanta was up 10-0 and fans were barely in their seats wondering if this game about to get ugly when Ivory took off on a 56-yard touchdown run that featured speed, power and ended with a stiff arm. Ivory finished the day rushing for 72 yards on seven carries. Ivory's long run was the longest scoring run on the ground since Deuce McAllister's run of 57 yards back in 2006.
Mark Ingram rushed 16 times for 67 yards. Pierre Thomas carried it five times for 10 yards as the Saints as a team rushed 28 times for 148 yards.
Conversely the Saints defense which came in allowing just shy of 180 yard per game rushing allowed just 46 yards on the ground to the Falcons. Michael Turner was held to just 15 yards on 13 carries.
Take a breather because we'll do it all again in few weeks as the Saints travel to Atlanta on Thursday night football November 29. Prior to that anticipated rematch the Saints travel to Oakland next week to face the raiders and then host the San Francisco 49ers. Both of those kickoffs will be late afternoon kickoffs.

VA - Tony Martin, 41, Lynchburg, 28 March 2005
Central Virginia's unsolved homicides
Posted: Saturday, August 27, 2011 10:27 PM EST
By Carrie J. Sidener
Tony Dale Martin, March 28, 2005
Residents reported hearing gunfire near the 1000 block of Fillmore Street in Lynchburg the morning of March 28, 2005.
When Lynchburg Police officers arrived, they searched the scene but found nothing.
Ten minutes later, officers received word from Lynchburg General Hospital�s Emergency Room, reporting that doctors were treating a Tony Dale Martin of Concord. He had been shot in the chest.

1. Colorado Mammoth (11-3), With a convincing victory over Toronto last weekend, the Mammoth have a 1/2 game lead in the West Division.
2. Calgary Roughnecks (11-4), A bad loss to Rochester makes it difficult for the Roughnecks to secure the West Division crown.
3. Minnesota Swarm (7-7), The Swarm beat the Washington Stealth convincingly to earn a playoff berth last weekend. Swarm could be dangerous if they put it all together.
4. Philadelphia Wings (7-7), Wings have been up and down all season, but still sit in a first place tie with Toronto in the East Division. With all the offensive firepower Philadelphia has it will be a tough out in the playoffs.
