Margaret Allee Speaks on End-of-Life Care
Margaret Allee, business faculty, gave presentations on issues surrounding end-of-life care at the annual Bioethics and Palliative Care Conference in Oklahoma City in November 2014.
English faculty Jay Ponteri continues to gain attention for his memoir, Wedlocked, through features on Oregon Public Broadcasting, Oregon Arts Watch and the Memoir Project Blog.
Excerpt from an interview with Judith Pulman, Oregon Arts Watch, October 21, 2013.
Wedlocked is ostensibly a personal inquiry into monogamy. Ponteri lets us into his world: In his garage, he is writing a manuscript about his doubts about his marriage and recording his strong feelings towards other women—Frannie is the name that he uses as a composite for all the women he has fantasized about that are not his wife. His wife finds this manuscript and she is shocked, disturbed, and does not know what to do. She claims not to have fantasized about sex with other men, so why is he straying in this way? He doubts, fantasizes, strays, all the while loathing the person who does these things.
"My book is more about a self isolating inside a marriage than marriage itself—reacting by pushing away instead of reaching out in the way that life's difficult moments require," Ponteri said. "The book is also a consideration of the way my writing became another fantasy, another way to push reality away. There's a T.S. Eliot quote from the "Four Quartets" that goes. 'Humankind cannot bear very much reality.' I think that's what my struggle was as a young married person: Trying to be in touch with actuality and also embracing a dreamy way of being that is rewarded in being an artist and writer."
"When I'm writing, I'm trying to discover the self in contradiction," Ponteri said. "My first order of business is to look at my inner life and put my imagination towards revelations about contradictions. That is not dreamy stuff. Contradiction is difficult; it's difficult to simultaneously say 'ooh I love you' and 'oh no, I've got to push you away.' In writing, I just want the work to be as thorny and messy as I feel life is."
This a book well worth reading and talking about, not just for Ponteri's scintillating fantasies, his challenging questions, or his imagination fully engaging with both language and subject matter, but to read a new story of how much it takes to be in a committed relationship well—a story that opened doors, at least for me—to a whole new species of conversations about love.
Read the full article on OrArtsWatch.org
Excerpt from Jay Ponteri's guest article on Marion Roach's Memoir Project Blog, October 29, 2013.
For me the joy of memory-based writing arises from recalling a memory I could not have imagined and did not plan on recalling before that present moment of composition. I'm talking about working from inadvertent memory. This kind of memory rises to the surface of consciousness without intention or design on my part. I don't reach for memory—I let memory reach for me. I do my best to clear my mind—to get out of the way—and then pay close attention to what materializes.
Inadvertent memory may or may not be recurring memory, may or may not be traumatic memory, may or may not be joyful memory, may or may not be new memory. I hold no expectations about its content or emotional tissue. Like the sensorium rising in that fuzzy liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, inadvertent memory appears unbidden, without explanation or order.
Coming from that deeper, more conflicted self we often tuck away to make it through the ordinary day, inadvertent memory drips with contradictory emotion, inexplicable mystery, and myriad possibility. I show my trust in the writing process by making "mystery" a central part. My best and only plan is not to have one.

Hedge-fund beta-replication manager and finance professor Andrew Lo wants to turn Wall Street's method to curing cancer.
Lo has proposed a $30 billion "megafund" to pour money into potential cancer drugs. And he argues that doing so would do good by doing good, offering investors annual returns of between 7% and 10% while spreading the risk across thousands of investors and getting much-needed resources to potential breakthroughs.
"Only with massive scale can you reduce the risk of this early-stage research," Lo, who runs AlphaSimplex Group and teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote in Nature Biotechnology. "Finance is a means to an end. It's a way to allow us to collaborate on problems of unprecedented scale."
The current pharmaceutical business model isn't up to that task, Lo argues, and spending on such research is falling by some measures.
"I've shown that when you actually look at the numbers, when you look at the financing, you can actually do a lot of good," Lo told the Boston Globe. "The cancer folks don't understand this stuff. Because they're trying to cure cancer."
Lo's proposed fund, which he would not run, but whose management team he would hope to help pick, would invest in as many as 150 experimental drugs. And even though most drugs fail to produce positive results—even after an average $200 million investment and the eight-plus-years it takes to get a pharmaceutical into human testing—a successful product can earn $2 billion a year, more than making up for the dead-ends.
The oncology fund could also be the progenitor of a new derivative instrument, "research-based obligations." It would also take portions of future royalties or proceeds of the sale of intellectual property. If anything, Lo said, the fund would be similar to drug-royalty investment groups, although unlike such firms, it wouldn't focus only on late-stage drugs.
Lo lost his mother to lung cancer last year. "I felt pretty helpless," he said. Now, however, he hopes to convene a conference of scientists, investors and money managers next year to hammer out the practical details of his fund.

EASTER SUNDAY CHURCH SHOOTING: Richard Riddle, 52, was shot outside the Hiawatha Church of God in Christ after Easter Sunday services. The shooter, whose name has not been released, reportedly knew the victim. The shooting occurred about 1 p.m. as the service ended. There were no other injuries.
Rev. David Howard Jr., said he didn't know of a motive. The Ohio State Highway Patrol and Ashtabula Sheriff's Office is assisting the Ashtabula Police Department in the investigation.
Witnesses say Richard Riddle's son killed him in the shooting outside the church Sunday. The son has been identified as Rashad Riddle. Associate pastor Sean Adams said Rashad Riddle was screaming this is the "will of Allah," "this must happen" after shooting his father.

Hi you all,
I understand that this kind of issue has been discussed here a lot of times, but I am still not able to figure it out just by following the guides I've found.
I own an Asus S56CM and I need to set it up with two OSs, Windows 8 and Ubuntu. I am not able to do so because Ubuntu doesn't recognize any Windows partition while installing. On my old PC it was so damn easy, I just had to plug in my bootable USB key and click on "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8", but now this doesn't even show up. I even tried to create Ubuntu partitions manually, but I got a bit confused as I couldn't create any extended partition (I think this is due to the fact that my motherboard is UEFI), as I used to do before.
The fact is that I see no way to install both the OSs on my machine, nothing I've tried worked, including all the guides I've found here on the forums and on Ubuntu official websites (and most of the times they blew everything up and I had to reinstall everything).
If you need any further information, I can say that my BIOS (if needed...) is an American Megatrends, version 205.
Hope someone can help, I really need this to get this fixed soon.
Thank you all.

need to find figs
my hubby fondly recalls the figs he had growing up in philly from his neighbor's yard... he doesn't know what kind, but that he loved them. I went to the farmer's market today and didn't see any.... has any one seen them on the peninsula? I don't think it is too early for them since I have seen them on menus lately. I would love to surprise him with them for dessert this weekend if possible.
Black Mission figs are available at the farmers markets in Sonoma County from local trees. Don't know about the Peninsula.
re: chocolatetartguy
I think I overheard Tairwa Knoll Farms, who I think were the only ones I saw with a very small amount of figs last week, mentioning they would not be at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market this coming Saturday. You can double check on cuesa.org, their newsletter will come out tomorrow.
I got some delicious black mission figs from the Berkeley farmer's market on Sunday at Jack London Square 2 weekends ago.
re: Robert Lauriston
Fresh figs are incredible, I was first served them from a tree in a backyard in Pasadena for b'fast with whole cream...what a memory...almost pornographic...delicious...but I had NO idea that figs could grow in a temperate climate like Philadelphia...I guess I assumed they were a hot climate fruit...
Monterey Market's had a pretty steady supply for the last month or so. Usually black mission, but also some green adriatic figs (for those of us who grew up with green rather than black figs!). You should find out which colour your hubby has his heart set on; the green ones are, at least for me, very different from the black ones. They also had some interesting-looking turkish ones last week; didn't get a chance to try. I've been buying green/black every week - it's been a mixed bag. Just take your time, and pick over them carefully. They are all $4/pound.
Oh, and elephant pharmacy on Shattuck actually has had tidy little punnets of both the green and black. $5 for a little punnet, but then, it's Elephant.
Happy hunting for my most favourite flower...
re: lawrence
I think parking at Alemany is even worse these days than getting close to the Ferry Bldg.
re: lawrence
thanks everyone for the suggestions. i ended up getting the figs at the alemany farmer's market on saturday. only $1.50 per basket (about 12 medium sized)!! what a steal. as for what i used them for, i roasted fig halves with some stilton, proscuitto, and pomegranate glaze from TJ's. they were a hit at the party! thanks!
Draeger's in San Mateo at 222 E. Fourth Ave. has both tiny black Mission figs and white figs in the produce section now...I didn't check prices.
-Last week in SF, the Fillmore St. Farmers Mkt. had fresh figs on Saturday morning...we had them with a goat cheese from Cowgirl Creamery, fresh chopped rosemary and honey.
My mom's 2nd round of Black Mission figs are just coming ripe and this year they are very fresh tasting and sweet.
Hey there - go to Chinatown - they always have figs - I was just on clement street in the Richmond District and I saw several fresh markets that had quarts of fresh figs... I had my first fig from a friend that bought them on the streets in New York - you don't have to go to whole foods, etc...

20 Forgotten Toys From the '90s
Remember Madballs and Popples? If you, like us, managed to successfully block out most of your childhood, the answer is a resounding "no"!
Remember Madballs and Popples? If you, like us, managed to successfully block out most of your childhood, the answer is a resounding "no"!
Hopefully you're enjoying your day off. You know who's not? These animals! They're busy putting the "cat" in business cat-sual. Sure, a tie might be closer to standard business attire, but we're pretty sure the lack of pants keeps it totally casual.
It's that time of year once again. School is back in session. Don't be so glum about it. There are plenty of ways to make sure you have a successful year at school. Here's our guide to winning this year.
If you're just now emerging from a deep slumber and have no idea what's going on in the world, here's an FYI: one of the greatest weeks of the year is upon us. (Cue the 'Jaws' theme song.) Happy Shark Week, shark fans!
In a recent article on our website, I read about how rocker Tom Petty said today's country music was "Bad Rock with a Fiddle". I was offended at first but then I got to thinking about the songs I played when I started in radio back in '96.
While some college students are gearing up to go back to school, some are getting set to go back to party.
A number of country music's biggest stars have taken on new personas to flush out new creative opportunities, and not all of these alter egos were meant as jokes. Sure, one can't imagine Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum pursuing a full-time career as Dick Fantastic, but several superstars did just that.
Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)
You might think you're a Charlotte or a Miranda. But you're not. Nobody is. Everybody is actually a Costanza.

It had taken Jesse until second term to finally face her and when he did she was sitting in the tanbark, skin off her knees and giant blue eyes bubbling with unshed tears. When he held out his hand she took it, ignoring the bruised bullies scampering away and simply smiling her thanks, a sad yet welcoming smile that seemed to sum her up with no words being said: Tracita.Most people didnt like it but at that age you dont care. She followed him around when he was running his jobs, errands for teachers and selling homework to the other students. Not a word of condemnation passed her eyes as she watched, a silent shadow. He let her put ribbons in his hair (though stubbornly refused the dresses), and sat down to tea among teddy-bears and fancy dolls. He never said no, simply mimed his sipping a
SelfishSelfish______________________________________________________It was a hurried, messy meeting. Over a month had passed and while neither of them particularly liked the risk involved, what was meant to be a quick report had rapidly turned into a fully blown make out session. Mattie, tall, dark and still clad in his three-day-worn military colours had made short work of shoving all of Marquis neatly stacked paperwork onto the floor, pressing the smaller man down onto the varnished wood instead. Marquis would have protested were he not so occupied by the tongue down his throat and Matties heavy hands tugging at his hair. Hed worked hard to catch up his kings deskwork while banned from military campaigns and now hed have to sort it all again but it was so hard to be angry when the other man acted like this, like hed honestly missed him and for just now wanted to focus on the here, now and not what kept them apart. Mattie wasnt the talking t
SquatterSquatter______________________________________________________It was a lovely day. Busy with his lunch, Jorn didnt notice Elio until he plonked down next to him. They didnt say anything for a moment or two, each taking their time to chew and crush their meal and savour the moment. It was quiet for a change, just the two of them and both wanted to prolong the moment as long as necessary. Finally, Elio swallowed.They after you too?Jorn replied with a ragged choking sound, hacking up some of his lunch that had gone down the wrong way. God, man, dont even mention it. They havent left me alone all fucking morning.Language. Came the reply, a snort from Elio summing up his opinion on the situation. One of his ears flicked at a particularly annoying fly as he took another mouthful.But theyre nuts, just bloody nuts! Jorns voice raised a few notches in his distress. I cant even walk into

He wasnt old by a long-shot Thirty next year, still good! but he completely sympathised when the old stable hands began their groaning. Powder white snow turned grey as he sludged through it, soot from his boots leaving a trail behind him as he fought his way to the main hall. All around him horses were being saddled and loaded up and men in uniform milled restlessly, blowing into gloved hands to warm them up, and Marquis refused to look at any of them. They were all in on it. If they werent someone would have mentioned it to him already and hed just known something was up when guards had been avoiding him for the last week.

Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr, Id-ul-Fitr, or Id al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر 'Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity," while Fiṭr means "breaking the fast". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal. Eid-ul-Fitr has a particular salah (Islamic prayer) consisting of two raka'ah (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall called an Eed-gah.[1] It may only be performed in congregation (Jama'at) and has an additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying Allah-u-Akbar [God is Great]), three of them in the beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before ruku' in the second raka'ah in the Hanafi school.[2] This Eid ul-Fitr salah is, depending on which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob (preferable).[1] Muslims are commanded by God in the Qur'an to complete their fast until the last day of Ramadan[3] and pay the Zakat al-fitr before doing the Eid prayer.This photo was shot on film.

Tasty Ribs first oven cooked and finished on the grill
Please read this entire page before commencing.
Make SBQ sauce at least one day in advance (keeps in fridge 2 months)
Mix together (using Bamix appliance or similar) and pour into a large glass jar.
Have butcher cut each rack in half through the bone to make shorter ribs
Sprinkle with water and lots of salt
Put in disposable roaster and cover with double foil
Bake in oven 180C or for 1 to 1 ½ hours until fork comes out easily. For large amounts of ribs it may take up to 2 hours. Check after 1 hr.
To bake in covered BBQ, prepare as above, preheat to Medium, and check after 45 minutes. Move uncooked ribs to top to pan if necessary.
Make Basting Sauce
Spread basting sauce on each rib, meat side
Cook other side first 4 minutes on BBQ
Cook meat side another 4 minutes on BBQ
Serve ribs on large platter and put SBQ sauce on table to use as a Dipping Sauce. This is a semi hot sauce that can be made hotter if you prefer by adding more cayenne or chilis. Do your own thing.
This is delicious and you need lots of napkins.

Shiraz, Grenache and Other Whites are the best wines to pair with American Style Ribs.

The latest edition of The Hunger Games franchise predictably dominated ticket sales at Australian cinemas last weekend although the opening was fractionally below the previous edition.
Still, let.s not quibble as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 racked up nearly $11.9 million, just 5.6% below Catching Fire.s $12.5 million debut a year ago.
The action thriller starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth accounted for a whopping 68% of the entire national B.O. of $17.4 million which, by sheer co-incidence, was up 68% on the previous weekend, according to Rentrak.
Christopher Nolan.s Interstellar plunged by 42% to $2.18 million in its third orbit, collecting $13 million so far, but looks unlikely to reach $20 million.
Mature folks who were not interested in either blockbuster turned up to see Maggie Smith and Kevin Kline bicker and banter in My Old Lady, which fetched $380,000 in its second weekend on 94 screens, dropping by 22%, bringing its tally to $1.12 million. »

Thank goodness for Reese Witherspoon. Despite a recent surge in strong roles for women (e.g., Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine, Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook), Hollywood really dropped the ball when it came to showcasing interesting roles for actresses in 2014. If it weren't for Witherspoon's newfound strength as a producer, two of this year's likely nominees wouldn't exist—and the Best Actress race would look even more dire than it currently does. Witherspoon herself is one of the primary contenders, of course, for her portrayal of a novice hiker looking for redemption in the »

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is on the move. After eight years of climbing the industry ladder, first with British TV guest spots and then roles in American series "Undercovers" and "Touch," the 31-year-old actress is breaking out in 2014. It all began with her most noteworthy role to date, the lead in Fox Searchlight's Spring art house hit "Belle." The period drama which imagines the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle, a mixed race African woman who lived most of her adult life in English nobility, earned strong reviews and has earned Mbatha-Raw two British Independent Film Award nominations. This weekend she follows "Belle" up with something completely different, Gina Prince-Bythewood's impressive contemporary romance "Beyond the Lights." The film finds Mbatha-Raw portraying Noni, a pop-star on the verge of superstardom. Disturbingly and predictably, the sexualization of the music industry has transformed her into a manufactured product she never thought she'd be. Determined to »

The Now You See Me actor has been quietly dating the Maps to the Stars beauty for more than a year. Though they stay largely out of the public eye, the two stars showed their affection for one another on the day of traveling.

As final prep took place for the 35th American Film Market in Santa Monica, temperatures began rising — and so did optimism that the independent marketplace would generate significant transactions.
A flurry of deals came together in the week leading up to the Afm's opening Wednesday: Henry Cavill starring in the action-thriller "Stratton"; Morton Csokas joining Emilia Clarke in "Voice From the Stone"; Shekhar Kapur directing "Tiger's Curse"; Mitch Glazer's TV series "Magic City" (pictured) becoming a movie with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Bruce Willis and Bill Murray; Jon Bernthal and Catalina Sandino Moreno joining Catherine Zeta-Jones in drug-lord drama "The Godmother"; and Naomi Watts, Susan Sarandon and Elle Fanning starring in "Three Generations."
Adding to the positive vibes were several recent funding announcements: Kevin Frakes' PalmStar backing Basil Iwanyk's Thunder Road and Bill Block's Qed plus Luc Besson's EuropaCorp securing $600 million in financing with Scarlett Johanssen »

Robert Pattinson may prefer being a conscientious observer when it comes to Hollywood as opposed to a center-of-attention kind of guy. And he doesn't mind being a cog in a greater machine when it comes to his movie choices, either, his latest being a supporting turn in David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars, a signaturely scathing disection of a subject that, this time around, is Tinseltown and the stars who make it shine. "He told me it was the lead!" Pattinson joked in a recent interview with Yahoo! Movies when asked if he knew he was signing up for a supporting role alongside the likes of Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska and others. "No, I definitely knew. I didn't know what the »

"Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam is attached to head-line in true-life Thai kick-boxing prison thriller "A Prayer Before Dawn" with Jean-Stephane Sauvaire ("Johnny Mad Dog") on board to direct.
HanWay Films will launch worldwide sales at Afm, where "Prayer" will aim to satisfy the buyer's appetite for commercial crossover genre fare in the vein of "Drive" and "The Raid."
Sauvaire has started casting former prisoners who were Muay Thai champions in Thailand, where shooting will start in summer 2015. Hunnam is already in training for the Muay Thai sequences.
The film will be produced by ex-Wild Bunch exec Rita Dagher's new company Senorita Films and Hurricane Films duo Sol Papadopoulos and Roy Boulter, who previously optioned the material. The screenplay is by Nick Saltrese, based on the book by Billy Moore.

David Cronenberg's latest venture takes us, quite literally, into the heart of Hollywood. Maps to the Stars is Cronenberg's critical look at celebrity culture and its many pitfalls, and the director shot outside of Canada for the first time to achieve the authentic backdrop of Los Angeles.
The story is a web of interconnected stories that follows a wide-eyed Mia Wasikowska as a mysterious visitor-turned-personal assistant, Julianne Moore as a washed-up actress attempting to make her comeback, John Cusack as a self-help motivator and cheerleader to his tween son, Evan Bird, a child actor fresh from rehab. AndRobert Pattinson rounds out the cast as a taxi driver and aspiring actor, on the outside looking in.
In Maps, Cronenberg constructs a world that is dark and uncomfortable, yet his characters live comfortably within it. Each character's actions create much shock and awe, and it's the type of »

There's a reason Julianne Moore won the Best Actress honours at the Cannes Film Festival: her performance in "Maps to the Stars" is jaw-droppingly on-point.
Moore plays Havana -- the daughter of a deceased Hollywood acting legend -- who's searching for her own major breakthrough. She's entitled, bitchy, and utterly clueless about how she comes off. "Maps" is worth seeing solely for Moore's monologues.
Moviefone Canada spoke with Moore at the Toronto Film Festival, where she candidly discussed the inspiration for her character, working with David Cronenberg and Mia Wasikowska, and whether or not Havana stuck with her.

From a newcomer award at the Deauville Film Festival in 2011 to a career tribute this fall, two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain has come a long way in just three years. This year, she has been a part of four films: Christopher Nolan's potential best picture nominee Interstellar, which opens in select theaters Nov. 5; J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year, which is opening AFI Fest Nov. 6; Liv Ullmann's Miss Julie, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; and Ned Benson's The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and is a combination of 2013's The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him.
After graduating from Juilliard in 2003, Chastain was plucked from relative obscurity by Al Pacino to star in his production of Salome at Los Angeles' Wadsworth Theatre in 2006. Pacino chronicles »

Four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore is featured in this first poster for Sony Classics Pictures Still Alice. The film was an Official Selection at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
In the film, Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
Still Alice is based on the book Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

Today Guillermo del Toro took part in a press day to promote the YouTube Space House of Horrors that he's been involved with for the past few months. In that experiment, YouTube creators had the opportunity to create original videos on terrifying cinematic sets inspired by del Toro at YouTube Spaces in Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and New York, as part of a special global programming event. Those videos will start airing between now and Halloween. I was unable to make it down to the event today, but I'll be heading down to the YouTube space later this week and will come back with a full write-up. It's pretty cool since del Toro is helping to select the winner, who will get a development deal with Legendary Pictures. The sets they have built to shoot this stuff on are also truly astounding and we'll have some pics for you in that story later this week. »

Tracks and Wild are adapted from memoirs about women who venture on thousand-mile journeys and Gone Girl is an adaptation of a fictional novel, but all three films center around women and all three books were written by women.
These female-centric stories resonate more with women and often do well at the box office, Gone Girl opened number one at the box office and led for two weeks until Fury opened Oct. 17, but can they be propelled to Oscar nominations, especially with Academy voters being overwhelmingly (76 percent) male?
Of the 92 best picture Oscar nominees since 2000, 16 are female-driven (excluding 2002's Chicago, which has an ensemble cast, and films where men and women have fairly equal roles). Only one of these films, 2004's Million Dollar Baby, actually won. Of the other 16 — 2001's Erin Brockovich, 2002's The Hours, 2006's The Queen, 2007's Juno, 2008's The Reader, 2009's The Blind Side, »

The 2014 fall awards season is off to a strong start with the unveiling of the nominees for this year's Gotham Independent Film Awards. Though not as recognizable as the Oscars or Golden Globes, the Gotham Awards typically mark the start of awards season, honoring the best and brightest in independent cinema. Additionally, many of the films highlighted by the Gotham Awards go on to become Oscar frontrunners – last year's most nominated film was eventual Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave, and past winners have included Inside Llewyn Davis, Beasts of the Southern Wild and The Hurt Locker.
This year looks to be no different, with assumed Oscar contenders like Alejandro G. Iñárritu's technically dazzling Birdman and Richard Linklater's ambitious 12-year project Boyhood in the mix. Excitingly, Wes Anderson's brilliant The Grand Budapest Hotel, released way back in March, also made the cut, meaning that its »

Excuse the absence in this column for the last few weeks. I've been covering the Chicago International Film Festival, catching up with a few of the Foreign Language Oscar contenders while there. Now however, many of these movies are finally making their ways into theaters, providing an extra wrinkle into the race as both critics and fans weigh in on their quality.
1. Birdman
Birdman has finally arrived, and it's everything the critics and the public have imagined. The film had a solid opening on just four theaters in its opening weekend, earning half a million dollars, and Michael Keaton, Zach Galifianakis and more have all been making the talk show rounds to promote this weird, goofy film everyone loves.
Kris Tapley went right out and handed Keaton the Oscar for Best Actor, writing "The emotional spectrum of this character, Riggan Thompson — who all actors will identify with at the end of the day, »

Deemed as his career best, Richard Linklater's Boyhood leads all nominations for the 24th Gotham Independent Film Awards with winks in the Best Feature, Best Actor (Ethan Hawke), Best Actress (Patricia Arquette) and Breakthrough Actor (Ellar Coltrane) while Birdman, Nightcrawler, Under the Skin and Dear White People technically place second with two noms a piece in the five possible categories. Arguably 2014′s most prolific indie film in Damien Chazelle's Whiplash failed to move the five-critic panels in the Best Film category and sans a Best Supporting category, means Miles Teller receives Best Award nom but J.K. Simmons will just have to wait it out for the Indie Spirit Awards to acknowledge his perf. A special Gotham Jury Award has already been awarded to the ensemble performance of the players of Foxcatcher (Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo, and Channing Tatum) shrewd Vanessa Redgrave perhaps didn't get enough screen time »

The Independent Filmmaker Project officially fired the starting gun on the film awards season as always this morning with the announcement of this year's Gotham Awards nominees. Unsurprisingly, the most high-profile indie in the race — "Boyhood" — drew the most nominations with a whopping four mentions, including Best Feature. That's extremely high for the Gotham Awards and it sends IFC's campaign sailing into the season with a huge burst of wind. Speaking of revving the campaign engine on an early year release, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" landed in the Best Feature category. Two years ago Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" won that category but still didn't end up with a Best Picture Oscar nomination. Can Fox Searchlight find better luck? And speaking of Searchlight, "Birdman" landed Best Feature and Best Actor nominations. Fully expected. Filling out the Best Feature category was Ira Sachs' beautiful "Love is Strange" and Jonathan Glazer »

The Gotham Awards juried nominations have recently surplanted the ancient Nbr as the first real awards nomination/wins of the film year. That it happens in October is more than a little crazy, but what'cha gonna do? The New York centric film prizes, think of it as the Spirit Awards's East Coast Cousin albeit with far fewer prizes will be held on December 1st. Since they only have six categories and four separate juries (composed of critics and programmers), multiple nods aren't as easy to come by as they are at other shows but a handful of films managed it: Boyhood, Birdman, Dear White People, Nightcrawler, and Under the Skin.
Best Feature
Birdman Boyhood Grand Budapest Hotel Love Is Strange Under The Skin
Very happy to see the intensely moving Love is Strange, in constant danger of being undervalued, show up. Especially since it didn't show up anywhere else. 199 films were eligible for these honors. »

It's no real surprise to see Boyhood topping the this morning's Gotham Independent Film Awards nominations with four. The film is likely to lead the Spirit Award nominations as well. It will be the year's most highly touted independent feature, make several top ten lists and probably earn plenty of Oscar nominations if not a few wins. It's also no surprise to see Birdman get a couple noms. In fact, the only nomination I find particularly interesting here is the nomination for Oscar Isaac for his role in J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year. Primarily because critics have yet to see it and because the nomination committee clearly enjoyed Nightcrawler, but saw fit to nominate Isaac for A Most Violent Year, but not Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler. It's also a little disappointing to see Tom Hardy might end up being ignored even for independent awards for his performance in Locke, »

...And for trolling (1 game) and for saying nothing (1 game)
I don't expect to get unbanned (nobody ever does), but I'm just adding to the general qq pool about the tribunal in the far-fetched hope that Riot does something about it
Quick rundown:
Game 1: Did nothing but compliment our draven all game, said noobs twice but in a clearly tongue-in-cheek manner, guess that's report-worthy now, though.
Game 2: Talked ****, deserved to be reported, I can accept that.
Game 3: Fed hard, somebody thought I was intentionally feeding, so I guess that report makes sense.
Game 4: Complimented cait all game, counted blitzcranks grabs in allchat. Never insulted him or called him trash for missing, just counted them.
Game 5: Said literally nothing, reported for "harassing" all game, and apparently harassing somebody after he ignored me for saying nothing.
So if complimenting teammates gets you reported, if talking trash gets you reported, and if saying nothing gets you reported, what DOESNT get you reported?
Sereg Anfaug
Senior Member
It only takes one. Don't troll, don't talk ****, don't refuse to communicate, and you'll be fine in the Tribunal - if you even make it there again after reforming those behaviors.
Game 1: You wouldn't shut up....I wouldn't punish you for this game, but damn you was annoying.
Game 2: You admit this one is deserved
Game 3: Poor playing, wouldn't punish.
Game 4: Doing the diamon groupie thing again....you spent the whole game counting how many grabs Blitz made and missed?....I punish you for this game. Less talking and more playing.
Game 5:I wouldn't punish.
Overall: I punish you. Wouldn't want you as my teammate honestly. You talk way to much where it is spam.
170 Calories
First off I would vote punish for your name. Secondly it only takes 1 game for a punish
Well, having read through the case I'm not sure I would have punished. Only 2 was really worthy of a punish, and frankly Lee Sin was being just as much of a problem. However, the harassment directed towards Eve was unwarranted and too much, so again, not sure how I would have voted on that one. I'm certainly not going to punish people just because they talk a lot, that is just ridiculous. Unless it's outright spam then it's not a crime in my opinion.
