TUESDAY, April 24 (HealthDay News) -- In 2008, the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force recommended against testing for
prostate cancer in men aged 75 and older, but new research finds
that almost 44 percent of these men are still being screened.
Before the 2008 guidelines were set, about 43 percent of men in
this age group opted for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, but
the task force found that testing had no effect on longevity and
could result in overtreatment with adverse consequences. Meanwhile,
the task force drafted a
new set of guidelines last October that are even more
critical of PSA testing, suggesting it may not have any value for
men of any age.
"Patients and providers did not adjust their screening behavior following the last major United States Preventive Services Task Force recommendation, and the effect of the upcoming guideline needs to be monitored," said study author Dr. Sandip Prasad, a urologic oncology research fellow at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
"Many physicians and patients continue to have confidence in PSA screening to prevent death from prostate cancer, and it is incumbent upon the medical community to refine the use of this screening test to minimize overdiagnosis and overtreatment of prostate cancer without losing ground on the progress we have made against the disease," he added.
The findings were published in a letter in the April 25 issue of
Journal of the American Medical Association.
Prasad's team found that the number of older men receiving PSA
tests had actually increased to 43.9 percent by 2010. That's more
screening than in men in their 40s and 50s (12.5 percent and 33.2
percent, respectively) who are the ones most likely to benefit from
early diagnosis and treatment, the researchers said.
Only men aged 60 to 74 were more likely to get a PSA test (51.2
percent), they noted.
To gather the data, the researchers used the 2005 and 2010
Cancer Control Supplements, which are part of the annual National
Health Interview Survey.
Because patient data is self-reported, the results likely
underestimate the actual number of men getting PSA screening, the
researchers noted.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is on the verge of
issuing new PSA testing guidelines and, based on early
recommendations, the task force now believes the PSA test is
ineffective for men of any age.
"Prostate-specific antigen-based screening results in small or no reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality," the early recommendations conclude, and is associated with "harms related to subsequent evaluation and treatments, some of which may be unnecessary."
Given that the initial public recommendation against routine
PSA-based screening generated significant controversy in the fall
of 2011, "it is unclear what, if any, changes in PSA screening will
result if this recommendation is made final," Prasad said.
Dr. Anthony D'Amico, chief of radiation oncology at Brigham and
Women's Hospital in Boston, doesn't think that age is a good
indicator of when PSA screening is appropriate.
"I'll make the same comment for Warren Buffet who is 81 and diagnosed with prostate cancer," he said. "I don't look at 75, I don't look at 50, I look at the person. People's age doesn't tell you about their life expectancy -- on average it does, but not everyone," D'Amico explained.
"We should look at an individual's life expectancy, and if it's more than 10 years that's a person who should be screened," he said.
However, the reason the rate of screening has remained the same
is because of confusion, D'Amico said.
"Doctors and patients don't know what to think, because there is evidence that PSA works in one study and that it doesn't in another, so rather than change they do what they have been doing all along," he noted.

- Dining at leisureOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/26/2014I thought the staff and service were excellent. However, we did have to wait for drinks and the bread. The food was very good, and the prie fixe menu was a pretty good value. The prices otherwise were a bit above where they should be. All in all not a place for a quick bite, but great if you want to have a leisurely dinning experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luv2dineDined on 10/25/2014This is a very nice place with nice food . The atmosphere is relaxing and soothing .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShotsZeeDined on 10/24/2014Very nice evening, food presentation, quality and temperature were memorable. Service was present when needed and highly informative from all staff from time we entered. Oysters on half shell had great presentation and were delicious!Special Features:
- Poor kitchen performanceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/20/2014Slow kitchen service lead to a 3-1/2 dinning experience. Over 1/2 hour wait between appetizers and dinner salads. That was nothing compared to the over one hour wait once the salad dishes were collected from the table to when the entrees were finally brought to the table. The waite staff and manager avoided us until the point where dinner was about to come out. Too little too late. Just an abysmal dinner experience with important clients. Embarrassing. I have been to other Sullivan steakhouse restaurants in Chicago, Denver and other major cities and this was by far the worst experience ever.
- Good Food, Slow Servicekak244VIPDined on 10/18/2014The service was very slow. Be prepared for a 3 hour dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 10/18/2014Food was delicious. Did feel like our server was a little too busy, but overall good experience.Special Features:
- no much for gluten freeallthingsadairDined on 10/17/2014We went to Sullivan's because they were supposed to have stone crabs, they hadn't received their shipment. As a celiac that does not eat red meat there were not many options on the menu. Our server, John, tried his best to accommodate me but I ended up with subpar salmon. The drinks were good, but the food was just so-so. Maybe it would have been better if I didn't have restrictions - they may have made it super plain not understanding what gluten is.. I'm not sure. I'll go back for stone crabs, but nothing else.
- DeanVIPDined on 10/16/2014Excellent steaks done to perfection! Service was great at dinner and in the bar.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014Our waiter, John, was terrific. Very pleasant and outgoing and just made the night more enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to stop before a game!OscarVIPDined on 10/10/2014We usually stop here before football games but lately it's been baseball and football! The staff is fun but professional and know the menu very well. Since we are on a time schedule they make sure we get everything on time to make it to the game on time. It's very helpful that they have valet parking. Food is always served hot and they usually have very nice specials! Raw Oysters are the BEST!!! Manager is always around and is very helpful in selecting wine! Can't go wrong with this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not in the same league as Flemingsroadwarrior9116Dined on 10/7/2014Had dinner at Sullivan's after having eaten at Fleming's the evening before. The food couldn't hold a candle to the steaks at Fleming's. One of the filets had to be sent back as it was overcooked.The ambiance at Fleming's is much more refined. The prices at both establishments are about the same. For my money I'd go back to Fleming's before visiting Sullivan's again
- Well done.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/4/2014Over all an excellent dining experience. The waiter was very attentive. The Staff was also very courteous. Food was also very good. Atmosphere was fitting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic dinnerLinda11VIPDined on 10/4/2014Great food and service! John our waiter was excellent. All his suggestions were spot on- calamari, crab cakes, egg rolls & tuna was delicious. Every steak was mouthwatering! No room for dessert - we were all stuffed! The 5 Loyola soccer players we took said this was one of the best meals they ever had! It was! Thank you for accommodating 2 extra on a Saturday night at the last minute without hesitation!Special Features:
- Birthday CelebrationgreyhoundDined on 9/27/2014Great spot to celebrate our special occasion. Nice live music in the Bar, not too loud. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food delicious. Always our go to restaurant when visiting the Inner Harbor.Special Features:
- Always ConsistentTch2VIPDined on 9/27/2014Every time I go to Baltimore I have go to Sullivan's. Great Resturante.Special Features:
- Wont be back!2luvDined on 9/27/2014I use to frequent this establishment regulary due to my place of buisness being with in walking distance to the resturant. I can honestly say that since this opening of Sullivans years ago it has not lived up to its expectations. It seems that with time the food only gets worst. The waiter(whos name I cant remember) seemed to have had a attitude, had no knowledge of the menu and only came to our table a total of 4 times during the course of two hours. Never once asked if we would have partake in a bottle of wine or anything else for that matter. The food was horrible out of a dinner party of 9 people only one person ate thier food. My 8 year old son who had a cheesburger( i envyed him that night) as the salmon I ate was not fully prepared.Special Features:
- Poor ManagementMoose430Dined on 9/19/2014After a bad drink and nasty bartender we sat for dinner, the waitress asked if we cared for a drink, I said not if from your bar! She passed that along to the manager on her own, after which he came to the table and apologized, for the experienc, and said next time he will fix it,, well why bother to come to the table if you are not going to offer a drink replacement, desert or a bone?? I own a restaurant in NYC and always comp something if a client is unhappy, I did NOT complain expecting anything from the waitress, just letting off steam , but the manager did a poor jobSpecial Features:
- Good as alwaysweheartsteakDined on 9/13/2014It's our favorite steak house. The filet was to die for. Our waitress was just average, made more evident by the waiter at the tables next to us that was busting his butt. Had to wait for check, etc. However, it would take a LOT to turn us off of Sullivan's, and even a less-than spectacular waiter/waitress there is better than average. We love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceEJT911Dined on 9/13/2014We really enjoyed celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary here. We would definitely go again and recommend it to our friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Star Spangled Steak HouseCuzzesDined on 9/12/2014Went this weekend with a group of 8 during the busiest time in the inner harbor - The Star Spangled Celebration! Had an all-round awesome experience. Our waiter Matthew knew exactly which direction to take each of us when deciding what to choose on the nicely appointed menu. No one left hungry or disappointed. Will always go back when in town.Special Features:
- Great Value - Prix FixeActondadDined on 9/11/2014The Prix Fixe dinner is a great value. Nice portions of items you would most likely order and at very reasonable price.Special Features:
- sub part at besttunstelDined on 9/6/2014Disinterested waiter. Lackluster food. Philie Cheesesteak eggroles a gimmick with no payoff. Meatballs over cooked. Steaks fine at best. Martinis actually good. Salad watery. Sauces weak. Pass.
- No more driving to PhillyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/5/2014My husband and I are big fans of Del Frisco's, it's the only place to get a great steak out, until now!! Our apps (cheesesteak egg rolls and French onion soup) were OK. Our steaks (Bone-in Rib Eye) were excellent. Great cuts, seared perfectly to a mid-rare!! Our sides were also delicious (garlic mashed potatoes and shaved Brussels). While we were eating our steak, we realized that finding this place was probably not so great!! It's too close!!Special Features:
- Great ambienceGg66Dined on 8/30/2014Very nice date night restaurant! Service was great!Special Features:
- Great Food and AtmosphereMyDogsNameIsJackDined on 8/23/2014Nice steakhouse. Didn't seem as busy as some of the other steakhouses in the area, but the food and atmosphere were both great. The only hiccup was our waiter. He was competent, but seemed perturbed the whole time. Not one smile.
- Table Near the KitchenGirlsniteoutDined on 8/22/2014The food was excellent, the service was superb but unfortunately I was sitting in a booth that backed up to the kitchen. I was able to hear all of the conversations amongst the waiters on what was the latest and greatest of their life. I would recommend that Sullivan's put a higher wall behind those booths so that we are not all subject to all of the conversations.Special Features:
- A rough meal at SullivansSandyDined on 8/21/2014Had to send my filet back twice, and the third time it was smaller and still not cooked properly... not a good night for steak. The first time there was so much salt and pepper on it, my mouth was burning...second time overcooked...third time still overcooked
- Filet was incredibleMamamowlDined on 8/17/2014Filet was flavorful and tender. Lobster was good, but not great - a little fishy. Brussels were good but a bit too greasy and over processed. Asparagus perfect!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice eveningMGCatonsvilleMdDined on 8/16/20141st time at Sullivan's - Excellent food and outstanding waiter. Next visit will be for happy hour and possibly sit outside.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014Love going to Sullivan's, not this time, very disappointing. Soup was cold, espresso machine turned off, crab cocktail disappointing, steak tough and dry. Plates removed from the table without asking if we were finished. Too many people waiting on our table and felt rushed. Won't go back for a while, until they get it together.Special Features:
- Exceptional steak houseFredbirdDined on 8/13/2014Everything you would expect from a first class steak house. From the drinks to the appetizers to the steaks to the dessert.....all exceptional.I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelishmmmmVIPDined on 8/12/2014The cheesesteak eggroll appetizer was the best thing ever! Smores dessert was great too.Special Features:
- Great Food!BriSoFly12Dined on 8/9/2014I came for restaurant week during otakon and I have to say, a three course meal couldn't have been any better. I believe their crab cakes might be the best I've had so far! Also the server, Ashley, was beyond amazing, highly enjoyed her humor, she was real and not a robot. Only downfall was how I had to wait 30 minutes when I was on time for my reservation. The manager did come over and apologized, so all is well. I'd highly recommend coming back, I know I am!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hard to find the first timeRSoutDined on 8/9/2014They need to change the address. It list as 1 e Pratt street when it's actually around the corner On Calvert street a believe. Food was OK pour server seemed like he was trying to hard to fit in got a couple things wrong but no ones perfect. Two of part member's meals were not prepared correctly but other than that it was OK.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dinnerMarylandDinerDined on 8/9/2014We went at dinner time and ate inside, so I can't comment about the bar scene or outdoor dining (both of which looked nice). The food, service, and wine were all excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection, and we love going to the nicer restaurants. Sullivan's compares favorably. Lovely night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tried it for restaurant weekrygolyDined on 8/8/2014Didn't expect a lot during restaurant week, but the food was still decent and the staff people were very attentive. There was nowhere to pull up for valet because cars were parked right in front of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/8/2014Excellent service and food. Excellent service and food.Special Features:
- Delicious MealyogapantsDined on 8/8/2014Our meal was delicious. The atmosphere was lively in this location.Special Features:
- Birthday celebrationDimplesDined on 8/8/2014The restaurant is located around the corner from one Pratt St. The dark sophisticated decor gives the restaurant a warm feel. The cocktails were refreshing. The steaks and sides were delicious. Crab cake was not very tasty. Will go again.Special Features:
- What a great timeJavonne4Dined on 8/8/2014My daughter-in-law and I enjoy how dinner . I will return for a party of 40Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I am taking this product since almost 2 years now because my immune system was very weak. I got sick very easily and all the time. Since I am taking this I don't get sick at all, even if my whole family is down with a cold or flu. That is almost like a miracle! I feel so much stronger and better.

I take this as part of the RepairVite Protocol to heal intestinal permeability . After researching, I am confident the ingredients are relevant and beneficial to achieve a healthy gut. I trust the Apex brand.

I like this product a lot because it helps bring about subtle, yet important improvements to my mood and overall sense of well-being. I find that I miss this product when I don't take it, so I know it's helping me and I should stay on it. I haven't noticed any side effects.

After a diagnosis of Hashimoto's, and gluten intolerence, my alternative dr. prescribed taking this for my immune system. I have been taking it for 4 years now. I feel much better, and my immune system is getting the nutrients it needs. No major illnesses, and colds & flu seem to pass me by. Check with your Dr. this may work wonders for you.
Pros:Apex has wonderful products, and OVitamin serves it well

I have been taking Glutathione Recycler for almost 6 months now. I honestly didn't notice how beneficial it is to me until I ran out. I ended up going almost 2 weeks without it and realized that when I went out to eat (no matter how hard I try to eat the right things at a restaurant), it immediately caused inflammation. When taking Glutathione Recycler daily, it reduces my bodies inflammatory response.

My Chiropractor recommended this to reduce inflamation and to provide needed antioxidants. I am feeling great now, partly due to this product.

I have had damage to my brain over a long period of misdiagnosed "silent strokes". I have a dream team of health professionals helping me deal with the ongoing impact on my brain which affects the functioning of my entire body. Every one of my doctors - internist, chiropractors, and cardiologist insist that I remain on Glutathione. It's a financial commitment, but I'm in remarkably good health from following their recommendations.

I was recommended this product by my acupuncturist for managing my auto-immune disease. I have not noticed a visible improvement, although I have read about the great benefits of this product. It puts my mind at ease knowing that I am doing everything I can to support and strengthen my immune response.

I got this because I have MS/Hashimoto's and this is supposed to be a good anti-oxidant to bind with free-radicals. This is my second order. I have had good results in my ability to stand (I'm in a wheelchair and I use grab bars) and I want to see if this is a fluke! Time will tell. So far, so good.

My doctor told me to take this and Oxicell (Glutathione cream). I have not noticed a difference between taking them together or just using the cream, so if strapped for money or you want fewer supplements I would choose the cream over the Glutathione Recycler. The large recommended dose can get pricey.

Laura Hershey's parents didn't listen to her doctors' assumptions that spinal muscular atrophy would end her life when she was a child. Forty-four years later, Laura is still here, and isn't planning on going anywhere.
Laura Hershey is a consultant, published writer/researcher, and committed advocate who has 20+ years experience as an activist for disability rights. You can read Laura's writing at Crip Commentary, a web site she runs that discusses various aspects of disability rights. She's currently pursuing her MFA in Creative Writing.
I spoke with Laura from her home in California. Here's Laura…
What do you think are some common stereotypes of people living with disabilities?
I think the main thing is that people think of [one's disability] as a private little problem, a tragedy. They don't think it has anything to do with the world.
People with disabilities is one of the largest minority groups in the world. We need to recognize the existence of people living with disabilities to ensure that we have equal access and opportunity. I do not want people to think of disability in terms of charity. It's a matter of justice. All people have rights and we have to ensure that those rights are truly available to people.
What are some issues that women living with disabilities particularly face?
Generally, things like unemployment, underemployment, invisibility in the media. The issues that all women deal with are issues that women living with disabilities deal with usually. As well as the issues that men living with disabilities deal with, or more so. Access to healthcare is a big issue. Access to primary care.
I've read that many young women living with disabilities are often not given proper sex education.
Yes, I think that's true. Schools are giving less sex education anyway to anybody. But I think girls with disabilities get a lot of negative messages about their sexuality. That it's dangerous. That they need to be protected from it rather than it's a normal part of life growing up.
Over your 20+ years of activism, what successes have you seen and helped accomplish?
[Laughs] Oh, boy. I could go on for hours.
What are some big stepping stones?
I was a part of things like the International Women's forum in Nairobi in 1989. Ten years later, in 1999, there was a lot more activism around disability by many more countries.
Of course, the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I am still working with communities to get that enforced, which has been a real uphill battle—increasing awareness within the disability community for rights, and to be able to talk about your life in political terms. Understanding issues like employment discrimination, assisted suicide and access barriers—these kinds of things are really significant political issues that need a political response.
Do you think President Bush has done anything in support of disability rights?
[Laughs] You mean besides vastly increasing the disability community?
Oh, by the war. Yeah, besides that.
Every administration has done a few little things; spent a little money on assisted technology, things like that. I guess the biggest positive thing that this administration has done is give grants to states to shift their Medicaid programs more away from institutional care and more towards healthcare. That's a big positive.
I think in a certain light, it is overshadowed by the negative, like taking away public housing and subsidized housing. That has been a huge problem. I think the 2 billion dollars a week that we're spending on the Iraq war will ultimately prevent creating aid for further programs with more and more people with disabilities coming back from the war.
What disability rights issues do you think readers should pay attention to this year?
All of them. [Laughs]
Any new organizing going on?
I don't know if you heard about it, but a small girl in Washington state named Ashley, she has significant physical and mental disabilities. When she was six years old her parents decided to administer some procedures in order to make sure that she never physically grows up. They removed her breasts and her uterus and spent two and half years conducting therapy so she would never get bigger, never menstruate, never mature physically or mentally. The parents argued two things. One of them was it enabled them to easily move her around and continue taking care of her. And they thought it would be best if she never became sexually mature because they said she would be at risk of abuse if she ever did.
There's just so much wrong with this. It's such a huge violation of mental and bodily integrity. What's also scary about it is there's an article published in a medical journal advocating that if you have children with disabilities they could be more easily cared for by their parents if they were kept small. I'm all in favor of children staying with their families without being institutionalized. But I don't think the cost of care should be biologically enforced on the child by making someone remain a child. There are other ways to get help to a disabled child.
I don't think this would happen to a boy. Imagine castrating a boy and saying, "Well, it's for his own good.� I think girls, especially girls with disabilities, their sexuality is considered insignificant, irrelevant or dangerous.

DAVIE – Dolphins running back Marcus Thigpen offered his services to Dolphins coaches as a solution to the team's struggling running game. He was rebuffed.
So now he's biding his time. He's staying patient. And he's doing it with a good attitude.
But it's not easy.
"It's a little frustrating because I know I can give the team a little spark," said Thigpen, who had a 50-yard reception against New Orleans. "But I do understand what they have on their plate as well."

Alone, 'Riodoce' Covers the Mexican Drug Cartel Beat"
Early on Aug. 29, 2010, Ismael Bojórquez, editor of the newsweekly Riodoce, in the Mexican city of Culiacán, learned that a man in his 20s had been found dead of bullet wounds in a white Lamborghini. Murders of young men are common in Culiacán, the capital of the state of Sinaloa and the seat of power of the cartel of the same name, but this one was different. The victim, Bojórquez heard, was the son of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, the head of the Sinaloa cartel and the most powerful drug kingpin in Mexico. Two and a half years earlier, when another of El Chapo's sons was gunned down by the rival Beltrán Leyva cartel, it ignited a bloody war—387 people were killed in Culiacán in three months. In a way, El Chapo (Spanish for "Shorty"; Guzmán is 5'6") and his empire are the main subjects of Riodoce, one of the only periodicals in Mexico that seriously investigates drug violence.
Making the World's Largest Airline Fly"
All this amalgamating may be a good thing for the airlines. It could wring redundancies out of the system and, done right, bring order and discipline to an industry that since its deregulation in 1978 has been prone to destabilizing price wars and chronic overexpansion. (It's also likely to raise fares, at least on some routes.) In buying Continental, United promised Wall Street $1.2 billion in new revenue and cost savings. Still, combining airlines is tremendously difficult, largely because of the enormous number of things two airlines may do differently. At the new United, a few major decisions were made before the merger itself as preconditions imposed by one side or the other: naming Continental CEO Smisek the head of the new company, calling it United, and headquartering it in Chicago. The company has spent the time since then trying to work out everything else.

If you have a curious dog, this is the toy for them. It talks when they get close or play with it. Some dogs will be scared of this, others will have to figure it out and its fun to watch them try.

I surrender! :) What I intended to say was: a lot of analysis on streamability has gone into this subset of XPath. It's worth looking at, and the mailing list archives are worth looking at because there was a lot of discussion on axes, predicates, one-lookahead for text node children (which enables a few types of predicates to be evaluated), and other issues that anybody who attempts this will run up against. The discussion included a number of people from this list, including Michael Kay. Then people could read up on it, rather than post messages like "I heard through the grapevine that predicates generally don't work with streaming". Then again, I suppose, it's fun to do analysis from scratch. Ah well, whatever it is, it'll be good to see streaming processors! > Everyone knows that "streaming subset of XPath" is an old talking point. > I think the thrust of this current thread is that it's high time for all > the diverse approaches to be distilled into a shared convention.

Directed by I.B. Mizrable
most emblematic bit of action in Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's Rosetta
occurs twice, and both times it's not of great thematic moment, just curious–oddly
curious. The Belgian film concerns a teenage girl who's obsessed with getting
a job, and who occasionally fishes in a river near the trailer park where she
lives. Twice during the movie, someone falls into the river and has to struggle
their way out. No, not just struggle: struggle.
We're obviously not
supposed to regard their thrashings as anything strange, but I found it impossible
not to. Rosetta is quite as dottily obsessive as its heroine, though
in a different way: it has a ravening mania for naturalism. The Dardenne brothers
are former documentarians, and their film uses documentary techniques to create
the impression that what we're seeing is incredibly close to real life.
Yet that river isn't like any real-life river I know.
It's a middling little
thing, not the Rhone at flood stage or some other raging torrent. But the people
who fall in sure act like it is. Though they're never more than 4 or 5
feet from shore, they splash and flail and throw their arms around wildly like
Capt. Ahab about to be sucked into the briny depths by Moby-Dick. The first
time this happened, I thought, "What's with this river–is it
magical?" The second time, I realized: no magic here. It's a rhetorical
As such, it unwittingly
reveals the truth of much that surrounds it, which is a truth fundamentally
at odds with how I assume the Dardennes want us to understand their film. Regarding
the way Rosetta presents people, places, situations and (implicitly)
society and the world at large, we're obviously meant to accept, and even
be impressed, that the film shows us "how things really are." Such
is the constant urging of its naturalistic style. But naturalism here functions
as a deceptive veil that disguises the film's crucial distortions regarding
nature (e.g., that river), the "nature of things" (i.e., in contemporary
society) and human nature. And these distortions all stem from the fact that
the film's drama is essentially, though unadmittedly, and perhaps even
unconsciously, rhetorical: rather than trying to discover and show us aspects
of life as it is, the film molds life to fit its own preconceived ideas.
Those ideas are, at base,
Euro-leftist of a tiresomely familiar sort. But that's not the chief source
of my complaints against Rosetta, which strikes me as a grand summation
of things that are about to make European art cinema disappear down the wormhole
of history. Ideological orientation aside, Rosetta is simply boorish:
fusty, precious, self-satisfied and totally humorless. As the friend I watched
it with said, "Godard could've presented the same polemic with half
the bother, and it would at least have had wit."
Indeed, the Godard of Vivre
sa Vie (etc.) could easily conjure up a pretty heroine whose travails illuminated
the social conditions surrounding her, but who personally was much more than
a mere cipher for those conditions. Alas, the Dardennes' Rosetta (Emilie
Dequenne) is just such a marker. When we first see her, she's let go from
the job where she's been a trainee, and flips out. It seems she's
a little mentally unbalanced and so has a rabid fixation on being employed,
which, not surprisingly, she has a hard time remaining.
This premise alone should
suggest a lot about Rosetta's rhetorical tilt. Life reduces to material
existence alone, says its reductive materialist philosophy. Capitalism, the
bad ogre, not only forces proles like Rosie to live by meaningless employment,
but also withholds enough jobs to keep its wage slaves docile and desperately
dependent. Please observe one thing, though: no one you know actually resembles
Rosetta. Her mania over employment is, shall we say, a tad theoretical. She's
representative, supposedly, without being at all typical, which is because she's
a little crazy–or something.
Thus do we see the Dardennes
subtly cheat at the outset, distorting commonsense understandings of human nature.
Of course, since this particular distortion mirrors the central flaw of leftist
political philosophy of the past two centuries, perhaps we should be magnanimous
and excuse it as, say, Marxist poetic license.
Even making that allowance,
the fictional world we find ourselves in remains tediously deterministic. Much
of the film's time is occupied by naturalistic noodling: Rosetta changing
from her shoes to her rubber boots, knocking around the trailer park, checking
her fishing lines, asking for jobs, hassling with her whorish, alcoholic mom.
The story's really crucial actions are few but striking: Let go from another
job, Rosetta is befriended by Riquet (Fabrizio Rongione), a young man who runs
a waffle stand. She repays his kindness with betrayal. Knowing he sometimes
shortchanges his boss, she rats on him, takes the job he loses, and then forfeits
that one too.
Here again, we learn something
new about human nature. Common experience might suggest that emotionally needy
people who receive help tend to be if anything excessively grateful, not viciously
treacherous. Rosetta's scenario, obviously, amends that with the
superior wisdom of highbrow theory, to wit: damaged, desperate proles tear each
other apart like rats in a cage, because theory says they do. There's a
funny, unintentionally revealing passage in the press notes where Jean-Pierre
Dardenne recalls, "The actor who plays the part of Riquet asked us: 'But
why do I do all this? Because I'm stupid?' We replied that there were
no reasons: 'You're not a fool. You're just like that, the way
the script wants you to be.'"
The poor actor. He wants
to understand his character's actions in terms of the ways people actually
behave. He must be told, like a child, that human behavior has nothing to do
with it; the characters act this way because the script says they do.
You could scarcely find a more concise description of bad art's processes
than that.
The American film reviewed
here last week, The City, also concerns poor people caught in harsh economic
straits, and its vast superiority to Rosetta obviously began in the fact
that the filmmaker, David Riker, spent several years living among the Hispanic
immigrants to New York that the film concerns. As a consequence, The City's
stance toward its subjects is humble, multifaceted and genuinely perceptive.
According to Rosetta's press notes, it began with the Dardennes
sitting down to write their script, an effort to follow up on the success of
their first dramatic feature, La Promesse (a far better film than Rosetta,
yet one that subtly anticipates its problems). The idea of doing a bit of research
seems not to have occurred.
The result, not surprisingly,
is a film that feels like it has never been anywhere near a real trailer park.
A film that constantly reveals what it actually is: a vision of lower-class
life made by and for comfortably middle-class people who don't care to
look beyond their own prejudices and assumptions. Naturally, makers and audiences
alike prefer to see themselves as sympathetic to their social inferiors. Yet
behind that nominal concern lies an unresolved mixture of contempt, fear, condescension
and sentimentalization, all of which effectively and pervasively demeans the
subject while privileging the viewer: the Dardennes' implicit self-congratulation
at imagining pathetic Rosetta also translates as flattery for our earnest attention
to her woes.
There is a word for all
this: miserabilism. It's a very fashionable stance nowadays in some circles,
but God help those who have to sit through much of it. The sun never shines
in the realms that European filmmakers like the Dardennes describe. No one ever
smiles. There's never a cheery word or a joke. Capitalism's death
rattle drowns out every note of the world's music. Society's unfortunates
experience no solidarity or friendship, only abuse and betrayal. Even rivers,
you must notice, really suck.
Literally and figuratively,
the terrain of Rosetta is an imaginary landscape, and if it were clearly
identified as that, I would have far fewer problems with it. The film's
obsessive naturalism, though, resists precisely that identification, and thus
itself becomes a big part of the problem. This is the same naturalism that's
become like a pandemic fungus in Francophone art cinema in the last decade,
a highly artificial style that dourly refuses to admit its artifice. In that
refusal, it can be seen as exactly the opposite of the Brechtianism that, in
vastly different ways, informed the work of both Godard and Fassbinder, who
never let you forget the highly self-conscious and individual means they used
to transform reality.
Ironically, the purveyors
of today's fashionable, naturalistic miserabilism harken back to these
very predecessors, Godard especially, for their legitimacy. Yet Godard himself
has punctured the pretensions of Olivier Assayas, Claire Denis, et al., by deriding
them as "the children of Canal +" (the French tv channel and art-film
producer) and I have no doubt he'd say the same of the Dardennes. To double
the irony, the Dardennes are obviously indebted to Iran's Kiarostami, yet
Rosetta also lacks the foregrounding of filmic concerns and authorial
attention that distinguishes his work. Indeed, though its pretensions know no
limit, Rosetta is actually a big step backwards in cinematic sophistication
from the precedents it would most like to be associated with, Kiarostami and
The fact that a work of
such gaseous self-importance and fetishized mopiness won the Palme d'Or
at Cannes and was a selection at the New York Film Festival says a lot about
the increasing cluelessness and irrelevance of such events, and about the reasons
American cinephiles are now turning off to European films in record numbers.
Though Rosetta's miserabilism has a built-in constituency on the
Continent, on these shores it's too easily identified as that most unappetizing
of current phenomena: the art film as castor oil.
a film as great as David Lynch's The Straight Story comes along,
my pleasure is always tempered by the feeling that I've missed noting and
paying adequate tribute to many of its manifold glories. One such aspect of
The Straight Story is its astonishingly beautiful lead performance by
Richard Farnsworth. For a few words about that I want to turn the floor over
the Kent Jones, the associate programmer of the Walter Reade Theater. The following
is from an interview Kent did with Farnsworth for Cahiers du Cinema.
My thanks to the author for his permission to excerpt it here:
"I don't really
think much about it," said Richard Farnsworth. "People ask me how
I get into a character, and I don't have much to say to them. I just learn
my lines and let it happen. I don't care much about 'motivation.'"
I reassured him that I was
just asking the question because I felt like I had to, and we had a good laugh.
All you have to do is observe Farnsworth onscreen–listen to his liltingly
calm voice with its slight quaver and watch his serene face, aged in the western
sun, and his innately graceful manner of just being–and you know that all
questions of "acting" are moot. I will never forget the shock of seeing
him on the screen for the first time, in Alan Pakula's very laconic 1978
western Comes a Horseman. This was the first major role that Farnsworth
played in movies, an industry in which he had worked since the mid-30s as a
"I worked on Gunga
Din, on Gone with the Wind, Red River with Howard Hawks…made
six movies with John Ford, first was Fort Apache, and I doubled for Henry
Fonda–we're about the same size. I doubled for Hank a lot. And I worked
on Ford's last western, Cheyenne Autumn."
presence on screen has always moved me, even in a mediocre film like Misery
or a failure like The Two Jakes: Whenever I watch him, I have a strong
sensation that movies are simply a part of life, and that artificial barriers
erected for the camera amount to so much vanity. Almost anything can be acted,
except what can't be–the sense of a life lived, the way that an individual
life inscribes itself on the face, the body, the rhythm of one's movement.
And this can be fully disclosed to the camera only by someone in a state of
calm, the kind of calm that Richard Farnsworth exemplifies. To stand before
the camera without effort or pretense or distanced observation is only possible
when there's nothing left to hide, and self-revelation has become a natural
part of existence…
In The Straight Story,
David Lynch does something that no director has done before, something very
intelligent and, I think, passionate. He has set his entire film to Farnsworth's
rhythm, not just physically but mentally as well. The Straight Story
may follow the path taken by the late Alvin Straight, the man who drove a sit-down
lawnmower almost 400 miles, from Iowa to Wisconsin, to visit a brother from
whom he had become estranged. But in fact, it also follows the path of Farnsworth
himself, taking care not to commit the error of almost every other film ever
made about old age by speeding up the process of self-discovery and forcing
the moments of epiphany. Of course, it's precisely because Lynch has an
actor who holds the screen without apparent effort that he can make his film
in this manner, allowing the silent pauses in the conversations just as much
weight and importance as the words themselves.
Farnsworth may be the only
actor in movies today whose serenity actually carries a force… "I never
had a chance as a leading man," he told me. "My knees were always
knocking together, my voice was too high, and my face wasn't right."
And perhaps he wasn't ready, either. Because it's the traces of wear
and tear on Farnsworth, of a hard life that's been fully understood, that
finally make him so mesmerizing and moving on screen. I doubt there will be
many moments as exquisite this year as the one where Alvin Straight drives up
a hill in a rainstorm and pulls into an old barn for shelter. The visual precision
of Lynch's and cinematographer Freddie Francis' widescreen framing–you
get the precise slope of the hill, followed by the boxlike frame of Alvin's
shelter on the lush, green midwestern landscape under a cloudy sky–is one
part of the scene's beauty, and Farnsworth's contemplative angle on
life and the world makes up the other.
In The Straight Story,
life and the world, time and space, merge, and Alvin's journey becomes
genuinely metaphysical. This is an effect that is much sought after in films
about people near the end of their lives, but it's fully and honestly achieved
in The Straight Story because of Farnsworth and everything he brings
to the role, and it crystallizes in this one small moment. As in every other
scene, the physical labor of going the distance from one place to another is
central, and the effort it takes betrays a life of punishing exertion. But Alvin's/Farnsworth's
relaxation at the summit affords him a pleasure both simple and profound: of
being able to stand and simply look at the world, without fear or anxiety, and
feel himself a part of it.

Seamus Fortune who works as a leprechaun part-time is the winner of the Alabama/Mississippi Powerball lottery prize of over $60 million dollars.
Fortune bought the ticket on his way home from a kid's birthday party where he was performing. He stopped off for a pint at Murphy's on Main Street Tuscaloosa, Alabama and bought a lottery ticket next door in the Kwik Sale convenience store.
"What a surprise," said the 4-foot-5-inch Irish native of Inch, County Kerry, who moved to Alabama exactly thirty years ago on April 1st.
"I wrote me mother's date of birth and sure enough it came up, with a name like Fortune sure it was only a matter of time I suppose."
Seamus says he will use the money for a retired home for leprechauns.
"It was a signal from the Almighty," he said.
"We had a leprechaun convention two years ago in New Orleans and they came from all over, many are worn out, especially around St. Patrick's Day. It is very hard being a little green man for the month of March."
Seamus married Norma Jean Baker, an actress he met on the set of Leprechaun 11 where he was a stand in. They have four kids, including triplets, two of whom will be small while the third will be normal height.
"Tis a great blessing" Fortune told the Tuscaloosa Tribune free sheet.
"We are only starting to celebrate. We'll be drunk for weeks."
Fortune works at the Alabama advanced neutron collider lab as a senior researcher in oscillating dynamics when he is not working as a "little person."

The very first angel investment I made after I sold my first company was in a company called NetGenesis. Will Herman and I were the initial seed investors; I was chairman of the company for the first couple of years. Eric Richard was one of the co-founders and one of the technical brains behind the company. Eric stayed actively involved with company for much longer than I did – through the IPO and then the ultimate sale to SPSS.
I haven't seen Eric much over the last eight or so years, but we email periodically. This morning, among other things, he pointed me to the first letter to the editor that he's had published. It's a letter in his local paper (the Sudbury Town Crier) titled: Nobody cares about 50 years from now. Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" had an impact on Eric and he writes eloquently about it. Regardless of whether or not you believe in "the crisis of global warming", Eric's thoughts and suggestions apply.

Full story here, it sounds very interesting. I'd like to see this combined with a vector camera. The ultimate camera! But regardless this looks like cool tech. Wonder what it will cost..
Lytro is the brainchild of Ren Ng, a Stanford Ph.D. whose dissertation on light-field technology five years ago was showered with awards. Now, with the help of $50 million in funding, most of it from Andreessen Horowitz, Ng has built a company that's preparing to launch a focus-free digital camera later this year.
The basic premise of Lytro's technology is pretty simple: The camera captures all the information it possibly can about the field of light in front of it. You then get a digital photo that is adjustable in an almost infinite number of ways. You can focus anywhere in the picture, change the light levels — and presuming you're using a device with a 3-D ready screen — even create a picture you can tilt and shift in three dimensions. (I got a demonstration of the camera's 3-D photos on a laptop and was blown away.)
You might think that this would produce unfeasibly large digital files, but Ng insists that the files will be roughly comparable to the average size of a digital photo today. The heavy lifting is being done by the camera's on-board processors, he says. And because its light sensor is incredibly sensitive, you can capture low-light situations such as in restaurants a lot more easily — even without the flash.

I checked the website. This is like CSI stuff. something out of the movies. Amazing technology. might be a little pricey at launch, but at some point everyone will have one, just like the iphone!

wow technology is advancing soo fast.. sounds like it works like a human eye almost..
The pictures on the website.. make sure u notice you can click on the picture and focus to that part of the pic.. amazing

Read Up!
Reading is such an important skill. We often take this for granted, but where I grew up, and in much of the world still today, many people, especially moms, grandmothers, and girls, are not provided with the opportunity to learn how to read. I have always been an avid reader, since I was little girl - this is how I grew to love to write as well. And I have always appreciated and enjoyed every opportunity I get to read. Here's why:
1) Reading is an amazing way to relax. Picking up a travel magazine or a novel about some wonderful, exotic world can transport you instantly to a different place, a different time, a different feeling. I read every night before I go to sleep. It helps me unwind, and takes my mind off of everything. Mostly, I read exciting mysteries.
2) Reading is a wonderful way to learn. Through books, you can learn about history, cooking, or science. You can learn how to fix a car or tell a good joke; you can learn just about anything. Kids love learning from books too. If you have not already, the next time you are trying to help your child through some developmental or leaning stage, be it big or small, look for fun age- appropriate books about it. Your child will respond incredibly fast, you'll see. We have used books to help teach our child so many things from potty training to overcoming fears. Our daughter has learned so much from books already and she cannot even read yet. She has learned about bugs and other countries and friendship, she has learned to identify the letters of the alphabet and colors and shapes. How to be less afraid of monsters or dentists or worms. How to use her imagination to create her own fun stories for herself. It's so nice to see how she learns through books, because I know it's something that will serve her well and help her through life in so many ways.
3) Reading is something you can share with everyone, forever. I love sharing the books and stories from my childhood with my daughter and her friends and even cousins. I love sharing grown-up books with my friends, neighbors and family. Libraries, where books are free to be shared with you and your entire community, are also such wonderful spaces to learn from and enjoy on your own or with your kid.
I could go on, and on, and on about the importance of reading to me. But the real point I wanted to make, actually, was how important I think it is to make time for your own reading, and time for reading with you family, every day.
Do you enjoy reading, alone or with your family? What do you like to read?

I love reading both alone & with the family. My favorite books are non-fiction, such a bios.
I did read the Hunger Game series, but usually just look at magazines in doctor waiting rooms and read a lot online. I agree, reading opens up a whole new world to you.
