Once-promising vaccine fails to ease symptoms, but old drug offers new hope
FRIDAY, July 18 (HealthDay News) -- It's one step forward, one step back in the search for treatments against Alzheimer's disease.
In one of two studies in the July 19 issue of The Lancet, an older drug called dimebon significantly improved Alzheimer's symptoms. But in a second report, a once-promising vaccine failed to prevent the progression of Alzheimer's -- even though it cleared dementia-linked amyloid plaques in the brain.
This week's issue of the journal is devoted to research into the causes and treatment of dementia, including Alzheimers disease. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, an estimated 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, which is thought to affect one in 20 people between the ages of 65 and 74. The estimated rate goes up to nearly half of those aged 85 and older.
In one study, British researchers led by Dr. Clive Holmes, from the Memory Assessment and Research Centre at Moorgreen Hospital in Southampton, analyzed data on 80 Alzheimer's patients who were treated with an experimental vaccine that for now is dubbed AN1792.
The vaccine is targeted at the removal of amyloid protein plaques that clump around brain cells in increasing numbers as Alzheimer's progresses. The theory was that dementia could be slowed or reversed once the plaques were cleared, and experiments in animals have shown that removing these plaques improves brain function.
Indeed, long-term follow-up of Alzheimer's patients treated with AN1792 did show, "a reduction in the number of plaques in the brains of patients -- in some cases there was a virtually complete removal of plaques," Holmes said.
But there was a catch. "Crucially, there was no evidence that the patients benefited by the removal of plaques and even those subjects with virtually complete removal continued to deteriorate and ha

This invention relates to an electrolytic capacitor having a porous anodized pellet anode, a tri-metal can housing, and having a glass-metal hermetic seal, in which the can interior bears a thin layer of a ductile solderable metal extending from the mouth of the can to at most the bottom of the seal. The outer metal ring of the glass-metal seal is sealed to this layer, preferably by soldering.
In a glass-metal compression seal, the outer compression ring is made of a metal different than tantalum and has a coefficient of expansion which is about twice that of tantalum. In the past, the ring has been plated or clad with a metal clad resistant to corrosion by the electrlolyte used, frequently sulfuric acid.
Silver cathode cases have enjoyed popularity in tantalum capacitors, but migration of silver and plating out of silver on the anode from the cathode if reverse voltage is applied has been a serious problem. For this reason a tantalum case or one with a tantalum interior is preferred, but there have been problems in joining the seal ring to the tantalum case. It is to this problem that the present invention is addressed.
It is a feature of this invention that in an electrolytic capacitor having a porous valve-metal pellet anode, a hermetic glass-metal seal, and a tri-metal can as cathode, there is a thin layer of a ductile, solderable metal which extends from the mouth of the can to at most the bottom of the glass-metal seal. The seal is firmly attached to this layer, preferably by soldering.
The tri-metal cathode can is preferably that described by D. G. Rogers in copending application Ser. No. 533,678, filed Sept. 19, 1983, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. This can is drawn from a tantalum-copper-nickel composite with tantalum forming the inner surface of the can and nickel, the outer.
When the glass-metal seal is a compression seal, e.g., the glass is compressed by a ring against the central tube, the ring generally has a coefficient of expansion (or contraction) about twice that of the glass and central tube. For a tantalum capacitor and seal, this ring is frequently nickel, Monel, stainless steel, etc.
When the cathode can is tantalum or has a tantalum interior, the compression ring has to be joined to the tantalum which poses some problems. By providing a thin layer or wash of a solderable metal at the mouth of the can, the metal compression ring can be joined to the tantalum can much more easily. However, this layer must not extend beyond the seal, as it might also plate onto the anode under reverse voltage conditions.
With the tri-metal can, the inner tantalum layer is relatively thin, and a weld to it requires even more care and is costly. While the metal wash can be applied to just the interior of the can mouth, it is preferable to use a metal which is ductile as well as solderable and to apply the wash over the tantalum surface before that can is drawn. If this is done, this metal acts as a lubricant during the roll bonding and the drawing of the can. The wash is then removed from all but the mouth area. Other methods of providing a ring of ductile solderable metal could be used, but the preferred method is to apply a wash, draw the can, and remove all but a ring of wash.
The sole FIGURE is a cross-section of the capacitor of the present invention.
An electrolytic capacitor has a porous anodized valve-metal pellet anode 10, preferably tantalum, with an associated riser 11 and is seated in an insulating plastic gasket 12 located in the bottom of cathode can 20. Riser 11 passes through an upper insulating gasket 13 which is compressed against anode 10 and in turn compresses it against bottom gasket 12. A resilient O-ring 14 surrounds a portion of gasket 13 and is compressed between it and can 20. A second resilient O-ring 15 surrounds riser 11 where it emerges from the top of gasket 13 and is compressed against it by hermetic seal 30.
Can 20 is preferably a tri-metal can consisting of an outer layer of nickel 21, an intermediate layer of copper 22, and an inner layer of tantalum 23 which forms the interior surface of can 20. A layer of finely-divided carbon 25 overlies tantalum layer 23. Electrolyte 16 fills the container to the bottom of gasket 13.
At the upper end of can 20, tantalum layer 23 bears a thin layer of ductile solderable metal 24 which extends on the interior of can 20 from its mouth to at most the bottom of hermetic seal 30.
Hermetic seal 30 has a central hollow tube 34 through which anode riser 11 passes and is sealed off at weld 35. A mass of glass 32 surrounds tube 34 and is compressed against it by metal ring 31. Ring 31 is sealed to can 20 by solder 33 between the upper edge of ring 31 and metal layer 24. Anode lead 36 and cathode lead 40 complete the capacitor.
Metal layer 24 may be one of a variety of ductile solderable metals, e.g., copper, silver, bronze, lead, tin, etc., but is preferably copper. Metal layer 24 extends at most to the lower edge of seal 30 and preferably not that far so that it will not come into contact with electrolyte 16 which might work its way around gasket 13 or along riser 11. It is easy to solder to copper, the preferred metal, and its presence facilitates the sealing of capacitors having a tantalum or part tantalum case and a glass-metal compression seal.

Gaming reviews: 'Just Cause 2,' 'MotoGP 09/10'
Just Cause 2
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
Genre: Adventure
Publisher: Square Enix
ESRB Rating: M, for Mature
Grade: 4 stars (out of 5)
Goofy fun. That is the best way to describe "Just Cause 2," the sequel to Square Enix's game about shady governments and campy regime change.
Once again you play as Rico, an operative for the Agency who must wreak havoc throughout the nation of Panau. The government is full of corruption, and it's up to you to stir up some trouble and get help from three warring gangs. That's nothing a man with a penchant for gunplay who's armed with a trusty grappling hook and parachute can't handle, right?
The most thrilling moments can be found simply traveling from one part of the island to the other. Panau is gigantic, and with more then 100 vehicles for you to steal, there is plenty of variety to keep you interested. Using your grappling hook to fling yourself from a motorcycle over to a car roof, then up to a helicopter and then onto a passing airliner, sounds cheesy and unrealistic, to say the least, but it's that kind of hammy action that makes this so fun.
When you aren't parachuting from fighter jets or crashing an ATV into a gas station, you'll be running around camps and cities gunning it out with the locals. This is the weakest area of the game because the shooting just doesn't have the punch or mechanics it should. Aiming is wildly off-target, and the enemy artificial intelligence doesn't always put up much of a fight.
"Just Cause 2" keeps things interesting by making chaos an important goal. Blowing up stuff riles the locals and creates confusion. At the same time, you earn money to unlock new vehicles and weapons to then turn around and cause more chaos.
The bad voice acting and the awful, stereotyped characters take some of the fun out of the game because, at times, you want to squirm instead of laugh. That said, "Just Cause 2" is all about cheese and goofy fun -- and there is plenty of it to go around.
MotoGP 09/10
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Genre: Racing
Publisher: Capcom
ESRB Rating: E, for Everyone
Grade: 3.5 stars
Instead of just throwing out another straightforward racing game, "MotoGP 09/10" has done a fantastic job of making the career mode more well-rounded. And in doing so, adding a layer of enjoyment beyond whooshing around the track at high speed with little protection.
Yes, there is plenty of racing to do in "MotoGP." You've got your qualifying races and then your standard races where finishing high is important, both for overall rankings and for the money you need to earn. The head-up display is packed with information, and when you're racing at high speeds and need to be paying attention to all the track's twists and turns, it gets too busy and overloaded. The AI is too rubber-band-like to be realistic, and this ruins many races where you can run a perfect race and still have opponents hugging your back wheel trying to draft.
When not on the track, the game is all about money management and staffing. You get bonuses for hiring more competent staffers, but there's also the challenge of earning the money to keep everyone on the payroll.
"MotoGP 09/10" takes some great steps forward and provides the best edition yet in this long-running series.

Ave Maria looking at health care options after 23 percent premium hike
Administrators at Ave Maria University say they are scrambling to find an affordable employee health care option after learning of a 23.5 percent premium hike in the school's health plan for 2013.
Ave Maria President Jim Towey president blames the increase, in part, on the federal health reform act. He said he learned of the projected bump from the school's Blue Cross Blue Shield agent.
Jim Towey said the school did not budget for the $332,000 increase, which stems from its history of claims in the last 18 months and increased costs associated with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. In a letter to faculty and staff sent Tuesday, he wrote that the school cannot afford to maintain its current plan, and is exploring all other coverage options.
The fact that the health care act mandates coverage of FDA-approved contraceptives, which the Catholic university does not condone and for which it is suing the federal government, "adds insult to injury," Towey said.
"The legislation not only tampers with our religious authority, now it's hitting us in the pocket book," he said.
In a statement provided to the Daily News in response to Ave Maria's claims, an official with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said consumers are receiving more value for premium dollars because of the health care act.
"Insurance companies can no longer spend a substantial portion of consumers' premium dollars on administrative costs and profits, including executive salaries, overhead and marketing," the statement said.
Nationally, companies that offer health insurance to employees experienced a 4 percent increase in their premiums between 2011 and 2012, according to an annual survey released last month by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The impact of the health care act remains to be seen, Kaiser's research director told the Daily News previously, as many of its provisions don't take effect until 2014.
Ave Maria University qualified for a delayed implementation of the contraceptive requirement, giving it until 2014 to follow that part of the health care act without facing sanctions. Towey said administrators remain hopeful the Supreme Court will rule in the school's favor and toss out the contraceptive requirement.
He said if it does not, the university will stop providing health insurance to employees — a decision it already implemented on a student level earlier this year when it discontinued student health insurance.
That would mean opening up the university to the possibility of hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual fines from the government.

Inherent Health Genetic Tests
In addition to the Weight Management Genetic Test, the Inherent Health suite of genetic tests include:
--Heart Health Genetic Test that identifies a person's genetic predisposition to heart attack based on inflammation. The genetic analysis identifies individuals that have a lifelong tendency to overproduce certain chemicals in the body that lead to inflammation. Overproduction of these chemicals can start a chain reaction that ultimately may lead to a heart attack.
--Nutritional Needs Genetic Test that identifies DNA variations in genes crucial to B-vitamin metabolism and the ability to manage oxidative stress. Individuals that show suboptimal results for the genes can be at increased risk for ineffective utilization of B-vitamins and potential for cell damage caused by oxidative stress.
--Bone Health Genetic Test will be available during the second half of this year and will identify whether an individual is more likely to be susceptible to spine fractures and low bone mineral density associated with osteoporosis.
--Periodontal Disease (PST(R)) Genetic Test identifies an individual's predisposition for tooth l

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 5
Dental Work/Canker Sores
Posted By: Cerise
I know this is not strictly ER4YT but I have noticed leniency on the part of the BM's, so I'm hoping they will leave this for me to get some input.
My Mother is in her mid-50's and has had rotten teeth her whole life. She has been sick alot, especially the last 10-15 years. In January of this year, she had some teeth removed and her health (not surprisingly) has improved a great deal.
The problem is she is now getting canker sores - multiple canker sores - so badly sometimes she can't eat. We know it's caused by a virus. And possibly inadequate processing of nutrients. She uses Tea Tree Oil directly on it and takes Acidophilus. (These were the best suggestions so far). And while this does alleviate the symptoms and pain somewhat, she can't eat anything for days/weeks on end.
So does anyone know how long the virus can run its course? Anyone with experience using other natural/organic things? Any other relief methods?
This would be greatly appreciated. If you like, email me directly so we don't use too much space on the board. Thanks in advance.

My stoker and I want to upgrade (from an old steel Sovereign on which we have about 7500 miles of riding experience together) to a high performance tandem with S&S couplers so that we can travel (for those that read my earlier post, we have at least decided that much--S&S rather than folding). We also hope to do tours someday, including self-supported tours (panniers or trailer). At the same time, we want a fast, responsive bike for the kind of riding we do 95% of the time--fast club rides or training rides. Can we have our cake and eat it to?
We rode a steel Da Vinci global venture and liked the gearing range and shifting smoothness but not the ICS (though 10 miles may not be enough to get used to it and judge fairly). Santana Niobium was super smooth/compliant but too whippy when I stood and pedaled hard; it freaked out my stoker even worse than with our steel Sovereign does. I assume the problem would only worsen under load. The Aluminum Sovereign was too harsh, I thought. A carbon fiber Da Vinci was too whippy (maybe due to open frame?). The Beyond was our favorite, feeling compliant but also stiff when standing. However, when we went back and rode it again after 10 miles on the steel Da Vinci, we couldn't feel much difference in stiffness/compliance! We're confused.
Are we crazy to even consider a CF or Beyond frame for future loaded touring? Will the Beyond CF/Ti joints hold up? Is it dumb to tour with an exotic frame instead of steel? (at this point, I don't plan to tour the outback of Africa or something, but more likely USA, Canada, Europe, New Zealand).
What do YOU think is the best approach to a bike that would have as little compromise as possible for both fast day rides and long loaded touring? I've read all the posts I could find on Beyond and couldn't find any comments on its use as a touring bike. The Da Vinci seems to have a cult following, but with several experienced teams apparently NOT liking ICS (does it grow on you, or are first impressions accurate, in which case we don't want it)?
Are we nuts to focus on whippiness? My stoker hates it (understandably). But would we be better to learn to live with it (not sprint out of the saddle or climb out of the saddle, for instance) in order to have a softer, more compliant ride (such as the Niobium offered in spades)?
Are my comparison tests meaningless because each bike came with its own different wheelsets (Sweet 16 vs. Rolf vs. Da Vinci regular spoked) and other components?
Our team weight is 330 lb, btw. We keep saying we'll knock that down to 300 but hasn't happened yet.
Appreciate any of your thoughts.

I think this image has possibilities! The overall yellow cast however rather works against the "ghostly" theme as should perhaps be removed, e.g. by use of the hue/saturation control in the yellow channel.
Also the figure could be made a bit more ghostly by selectively converting to B/W and then blurring. Finally you could sharpen the rest of the scene so as to give more contrast with the figure.
I've uploaded a mod with some if these ideas. Hope you find it of interest and help.

I like it. The rising cobbled street going into the distance works nicely, and good foreground interest with the bike.
Dont know if you were going for a ghostly shot, but it does look like one.
I think the colouring is appropriate for street lights, with slightly less yellow. I would like to see it sharpen overall, with the vertical distortion caused by the wide angle to be straightened. I would blur the figure more, make him more transparent by cloning the background over him at a very low opacity, and the desaturate him slightly so hes a little grey.
Loaded this is a mod.
Hope it helpd,

campag chorus alignment and adjustment
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Dear All
I have recently changed to Campag and generally am impressed. I wonder if anyone can point me to a youtube clip or a webpage that gives me instructions on how to align it properly.
I've recently taken the bike in a bag abroad and its not quite as good as it was.
As an backup, Is there a mechanic in London who is a specialist in Campag. It would be great to get it running perfectly and if I can't do that I might have to take it in.
Thanks in advance
Just search for campagnolo on youtube, there is a comprehensive library of installation and adjustment videos they have posted. Park tool online resources are pretty good too.

The 2009 Minnesota Legislature passed new "site-governed school" legislation, which provides school boards a "charter-like" option. A district board may approve "site-governed schools," which are provided significant autonomy and flexibility to develop new models of schools in exchange for greater accountability.
Even those close to education policy were astonished by the size and growth-rate of 'alternative education'. Districts have been creating these new schools since the 1970s for "kids not doing well" in 'regular' school. This report includes quotes from alternative school students reflecting on their schools.

"This work expands upon the growing evidence that medications can play a valuable role in the treatment of alcohol use disorders," said James Garbutt, professor of psychiatry and scientist at UNC's Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies and senior author on the paper. "We are hopeful that this information will encourage clinicians to strongly consider these medications and that individuals will gain awareness that there are medications that can help them to stop or significantly reduce their alcohol use."
The study was developed by the AHRQ-funded RTI-UNC Evidence-based Practice Center is a collaboration between RTI International and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jonas co-directs the center with Meera Viswanathan at RTI. The review is an update of the first product of the center, which was published in 1999 in JAMA. Since 1999, there has been more than a tenfold increase in the number of individuals studied in controlled clinical trials of naltrexone and acamprosate, and many trials of medications that are not FDA-approved.

Decent PlacePosted on 11 / 06 / 2012
I've been to this store a few times. I find most of the products over priced but they do keep a very impressive stock of items. I called once to check stock on a product and I was instructed to call back the next day to speak to a manager. I was disappointed that I was unable to verify if the product I was searching for was in stock. This should not have required a return phone call.
Cons: Price, Customer Service

Maybe thats why she saved the dress. I dont think she would have wanted a fight like that after all Bill made it very clear he never had sexual relations with that woman. Sexual harassment is very much real, alive and well. Clinton was the President of the US most woman dont want to even take on their boss. Woman dont even want to go to court in a rape case and be dragged thru the mud imagine what he would have done to her? So I can see her not going after Clinton only she and Bill know what really happened.

GW was against letting people who could not afford loans, get loans for houses. This single thing started the ball rolling. The house market crashed caused the banks to panic, the banks caught with toxic loans caused the stock market to tumble. Once the stock markets tumbled the economy went sour. Yet GW had a pair and excepted the blame because he was driving the bus.
Unlike our current POTUS who blames everyone and never says I was driving the bus it is my responsibility.
That is the simplest way to say it.

Every single month, Netflix adds and subtracts movies and television shows from its roster. Like a mad chemist, it never stops tinkering, both pleasing and infuriating users as more and more is added and subtracted. Think of it like one giant game of Dr. Mario, except instead of pills, we.re dealing with content like The Rocketeer and Apocalypse Now. Today, Netflix announced the movies and TV shows that will be taking their last bow, at least for awhile, and sadly, there are some gems in there. We.ve gone ahead and embedded the entire list of content, courtesy of THR, that will disappear sometime in February. So, spend your evenings getting busy.

Netflix has just released their lists of what films and TV shows we will see added in February…and what films and TV shows will vanish.
First, the good news: quite a few classic and popular TV shows are making the grade on the streaming service, including the first five seasons of Mash, Hawaii 5-0, and the new season of House of Cards. New additions to the film list include RoboCop, The Brothers Bloom, and Gimme Shelter. While there's not a lot of quality stuff on offer, there are at least a few new films and TV shows that we can enjoy on the Netflix streaming service.
Now for the bad news: quite a number of favorites are going to vanish from Netflix come February 1. Among these are several James Bond films, Zodiac, Jane Eyre, and Dredd. The TV shows fare even worse, with tons of BBC shows expiring, »

Having come to the conclusion that it's genuinely useful to tell its users what movies will soon be expiring from its service, Netflix is now releasing a list of the films that will disappear from its coffers (some presumably only for a short time) at the end of every month. Here is a list of what will expire on February 1. Several James Bond films will disappear from Netflix — since they have many times before, expect to see them return at some point soon. We will update the list closer to the end of the month with additional titles.February 1Blackadder (Seasons 1–4) A View to a Kill Airheads Apocalypse Now Apocalypse Now Redux Babes in Toyland Batman & Robin Batman Forever Batman Returns Cocoon: The Return Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Down Periscope Fawlty Towers (Seasons 1–2) For Your Eyes Only From Russia With Love Goldfinger Hotel Babylon (Seasons 1–4) Jane Eyre Live »

Oaks Christian guard can't stay away from gym
McIntyre finds safe haven in the gym
firstname.lastname@example.com 805-437-0282
Meghan McIntyre doesn't have a full-time security detail. It only seems that way.
The Oaks Christian School junior guard is the epitome of a gym rat.
But to spend hours and hours shooting each day, McIntyre often has to ask the security guards at Oaks Christian to open the gym.
Since they can't leave her alone, either Pedro or Daniel must stand courtside and watch McIntyre hoist shot after shot after shot.
"They are always joking with me that when I make a big shot in a game I better to point to them," Meghan said. "They call me Sharpshooter."
They aren't the only ones.
Meghan is averaging 15.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals for the Lions this season. She has hit 52 three-pointers, which is eight more than her two-point field goals.
Already a hard worker, Meghan kicked her routine into high gear following last season's loss to St. Anthony in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4A final.
Meghan shots were 2 for 14 from the field and 0 for 8 from behind the 3-point line in the loss.
From the moment she walked off the court, those numbers have been seared into her memory.
"It really motivated me to get better," Meghan said. "I felt like I let the team down and didn't want to be known just as a shooter. Everyone knew I was really one-dimensional and I wanted to work on other stuff to improve."
Meghan, a Santa Rosa Valley resident, spent the spring and summer diversifying her repertoire and expanding her range.
She enhanced her ability to drive to the basket, hit floaters in the lane, freeze defenders with a step-back jumper and developed her midrange game.
"Meghan is one of the hardest-working players I have ever coached," Oaks Christian coach Kenny Plummer said. "She lives in the gym. If practice is at 9 a.m., Meghan is in the gym at 8. If practice ends at 7:30, Meghan is there until 8:30. She is always putting in the extra time and never cuts any corners."
McIntyre is the youngest of three children.
Her older sister Mollie, 22, played basketball for two seasons at UC San Diego and her older brother, Sean, 20, is a junior pitcher at Loyola Marymount University who played on the Conejo Valley Little League team that reached the 2004 World Series.
Meghan started playing basketball at age 5, and was indoctrinated by the McIntyre sibling school of hard knocks in the driveway.
"They would not take it easy on me at all and pushed me around. I would get mad at them, but it helped me a lot," she said. "I was always known for doing crazy shots, and just throwing them up there to get my shot off against them."
Much to the chagrin of her parents, Meghan never hesitated grabbing a ball and hoisting shots during timeouts and halftimes of her brother and sister's games.
"It was annoying," joked their mother Kellie. "She would go out there all the time, and everyone thought she was so cute and let her do it. But she would sometimes get in trouble for taking the team's balls. But she was my third kid, so I didn't care if she got into trouble."
Meghan's shot-obsessed reputation has even led to some good-natured ribbing from her Oaks Christian teammates.
"They were trying to figure out different bonding activities, and someone said a sleepover in the gym," Meghan said. "Then they said we can't do that because 'Meghan will just be shooting the whole time during the night.' "
But as much as they may joke, the Lions have been impressed by Meghan's physical and mental growth.
"She has improved a bunch just in her confidence in her shooting. She has gotten way better and picking what she wants to do at the right time and has all the shots to do it now," Oaks Christian senior point guard Brianna Barrett said. "I know when I drive and someone stops me, I can always pass to her and get an assist."
Meghan played part of last summer with the club team Cal Storm.
After one particularly productive weekend of torching the nets, Meghan was inundated with recruiting inquiries from LMU, Pepperdine, Santa Clara, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, Oregon and Princeton among others.
"It is weird seeing so many of those coaches at a game, but I have just tried to forget it," said Meghan, who boasts a 4.3 GPA. "You can't completely forget they are there, but I just always try to do the right little things and work really hard during the game."
Plummer believes Meghan is still only scratching the surface of her potential.
"She was lacking a little bit of confidence last year in herself as a player. But I have been telling her, 'Meghan, you can be the best shooter in the state,' and I truly believe that," Plummer said. "She has the work ethic and I am giving her the freedom to shoot the shots."
If anyone ever doubts the work ethic, the Oaks Christian security guards can vouch for Meghan.
They have come to expect seeing her arrive on campus every weekend and holiday asking only one question — "Can you please open the gym?"

Tom Ford has some important advice for Gisele Bündchen. You know, the supermodel. Ford is very concerned about the imminent loss of her physical beauty:
"This sounds negative, but when you're considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, it's very, very hard when that starts to slip away. It's hard to feel good about yourself when people react to you differently. And, Gisele, I hope you're not reading this, because it's going to sound so negative but I know through some of my best friends who are really famous actresses — I'm not going to mention their names — who were at one point considered to be among the most beautiful women in the world at different periods of time, and how hard it is for them emotionally. So I hope Gisele is prepared for that, because it's so difficult."
Tom Ford just hopes Gisele is prepared for that. For when she's old and decrepit and washed-up and ugly and nobody remembers her name — which, given Gisele just turned 32, will probably happen any minute now. Because Tom Ford, king of Restylane and crown prince of Botox, has such a healthy relationship with aging. Weirdly, the designer shared this advice with Tom Brady. (What do you even say to that? 'Um, thanks Tom, I'll sure tell my wife to worry a little more about losing her looks'?) No joke, aging is kind of hard when you're in an industry that fetishizes youth and discards people seemingly at whim, but the outcomes are hardly as grim as Ford makes out. We imagine Isabella Rossellini wastes very little of her time thinking about how she looked when she was younger, for example. [VMan via Fashionista]

NEW YORK (AP) - There's "Follies" and then there's folly. The first is a winning revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical that wowed Broadway this season. The other is how you can characterize any attempt to handicap Sunday's Tony Awards. But here goes.
Will win: "Newsies." Should win: "Once."
This is the battle of extremes _ the stripped-down, bittersweet magic of "Once" versus the pump-you-up appeal of classic razzle-dazzle in "Newsies." Both are a great night out, just different. Both came from movies and only "Newsies" has new songs written specifically for the stage, giving it an edge with Tony voters. But "Once" just makes you feel, well, good. As for the other contenders, "Leap of Faith" doesn't have a chance since it's already closed, and "Nice Work If You Can Get It" is a fun romp, but not as strong as its cousin "Anything Goes."
Will win: "Clybourne Park." Should win: "Clybourne Park."
Bruce Norris' sly, edgy gem has the same heat on it that Jon Robin Baitz's "Other Desert Cities" had when it opened in the winter. That doesn't make it better, just fresher. Both plays prove Broadway is putting on great American works again. The oh-so-cool "Peter and the Starcatcher" and the naughty "Venus in Fur" are inventive and bold, but not broad enough to tickle everyone.
Will win: "Death of a Salesman." Should win: "Death of a Salesman."
Arthur Miller's masterpiece is timely and there is so much to like _ the recreated original set and music, the directing of Mike Nichols and the performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Linda Emond and Andrew Garfield _ that even if one part leaves you cold, the others will not. The revival of Gore Vidal's "The Best Man" was also timely and had the season's most insane collection of talented stage actors ever assembled, but it attacked your head. Miller's play took your guts.
Will win: "Follies." Should win: "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess."
The only thing certain in this category is that the two revivals from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber _ "Evita" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" _ will cancel each other out, leaving the prize between a proud, confident Stephen Sondheim revival against the show he denigrated before it opened. That was uncool, especially when the re-imagined opera turned out to be rather stunning as a musical. But Sondheim's dirt-throwing may make Tony voters squeamish, leaving "Follies" the win. "I Loves You, Porgy," indeed.
Will win: Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Death of a Salesman"). Should win: James Corden ("One Man, Two Guvnors").
