Write an article based on this "Preheat your oven to 475 °F (246 °C) and continue allowing your beef joint to warm to room temperature. Place your chopped veggies in the bottom of a roasting pan and top with the beef joint. Insert a meat thermometer into your beef joint, and then place the pan of beef in the oven. Watch your meat thermometer to determine when your beef joint is done. Baste the meat throughout cooking to keep your beef joint infused with flavor. When your beef joint has reached the desired temperature, take it out of the oven and allow it to rest."
Article: | Set your oven to the appropriate temperature while your meat reaches room temperature. Use this time to also prep your roasting pan and find a timer. Fill the bottom of a roasting pan with either one small onion cut in half, or an assortment of chopped vegetables, garlic and herbs. If you do the assorted vegetables and herbs, drizzle them with olive oil. Then set the beef joint (fat side up) on top. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the middle of your beef joint, making sure the thermometer is not touching bone. Set the pan of beef in the oven just above the center, and allow it to cook at the initial temperature of 475°F. Set your timer for 20 minutes. When your timer goes off, turn down the temperature of the oven to 375°F. The temperature it reaches and the amount of time you let it cook depends on how well done you prefer your meat. If you’d prefer your meat rare, with a bright red center, allow it to continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes per pound. Add an additional 15 minutes for medium rare, or an additional 30 minutes for well-done, to the total cooking time calculated for a rare roast. For rare, it must reach a temperature of 120 to 125°F. For medium rare it must reach 130 to 135°F. For medium, 140 to 145°F. For medium well, 150 to 155°F. For well done, 160°F and up. Because the temperature of meat can rise 5 to 10 degrees during rest time, take it out of the oven 5 degrees before it reaches the desired temperature of doneness. At least three times during the cooking process take the meat out of the oven to baste. Make sure to close the oven door each time you do so to keep the oven hot. To baste the beef joint use a baster, which is a large plastic suction, to suck up the juices of the beef. Carefully squirt the hot liquid all over the beef. If you don’t have a baster, you can use a large spoon. You may have to tip the roasting pan a little to scoop up the juices. Lightly cover your roasted beef with foil paper and let it rest for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour before serving. As the meat relaxes, it will reabsorb its juices, ensuring your meat is juicy and full of flavor when served. | 9 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

(EW.com) -- Since everything about Les Misérables is fortissimo — including but not limited to its unabashed pursuit of awards that are shiny or globular or both — you have perhaps already heard a little about the movie now storming the Bastille of your wallet.
You may already know that to make his movie adaptation of the internationally popular theatrical musical conjured from the 19th-century political novel by Victor Hugo, director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) bade his actors sing live during filming. You probably already know that Anne Hathaway, as the wretched single mother-turned-prostitute Fantine, is reputedly a formidable Oscar favorite for her sobbing and warbling and haircutting-in-real-time. You've learned, from posters and trailers, that Hugh Jackman, as former convict Jean Valjean, looks impressively stricken and that Russell Crowe, as implacable police inspector Javert, looks disconcertingly dyspeptic.
What's left to learn is this: Les Misérables provides compelling reasons for Crowe to be peeved, beginning with the humiliation of having to sing Broadway-style, when it clearly is so not his thing, and ending with the Cap'n Crunch wardrobe into which the gentleman is packed. (O, for Crowe's costumed glory days in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World!) Jackman has a right to be cranky too, although he's too much of a trouper to show it as he overemotes on demand and sings of finding God after he steals a pair of candlesticks from a nice priest. (Long story.) Hathaway looks happy enough channeling Liza Minnelli for her tremulous rendition of the Susan Boyle-appropriated anthem ''I Dreamed a Dream,'' but that's no doubt because she knows that soon after the song, she's pretty much done for the night.

CHAPTER XV
AN AUTOMOBILING ADVENTURE
"What did you run over?" asked Sam.
"Look for yourself," returned his big brother. "This is an outrage! I wish I could catch the party responsible for it," he added bitterly.
Dick had stopped the touring car in the midst of a quantity of broken glass bottles. The glass covered the road from side to side, and had evidently been put there on purpose.
"Say, do you think that chauffeur had anything to do with this?" demanded Tom.
"Hardly," answered Dick. "If his story about the fire was not true he'd know he'd be found out."
"Maybe it was done by some country fellow who is running an auto repair shop," suggested Sam. "I've heard of such things being done--when business was dull."
"Well, we'll have to fix the tire, that is all there is to it," said the oldest Rover. "Might as well get out while we are doing it," he added to the girls.
"Lucky you stopped when you did," said Tom as he walked around the machine. "If you hadn't we might have had all four tires busted."
"What a contemptible trick to play," said Dora as she alighted,
"Can you mend the tire?" asked Nellie as she, too, got out, followed by her sister.
"Oh, yes, we can mend it--or rather put on another," said Dick. "But we'll examine all the tires first," he added, taking off a lamp for that purpose.
It was found that each tire had some glass in it, and the bits were picked out with care. While this was going on Dick suddenly swung the lamp around so that its rays struck through the trees and bushes lining the roadway.

1. Is Sam an only child?

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Mix one cup of warm water with ½ to ¾ teaspoon of salt. Use warm water to better dissolve the salt and to soothe your throat. Test the water on the underside of your wrist to make sure it is not too hot to use for gargling. Gargle the solution in the back of your mouth, too. The saltwater helps to break up mucus in your throat and draws excess liquid from your throat tissue that may be causing inflammation. It’s okay if you accidentally swallow some of the saltwater, as it will give you no bad side effects. However, it’s better to spit it out, along with the mucus that it loosens, to rid your body of any of the bacteria or virus cells that it has accumulated. If you have a lot of mucus built up in your throat, gargle with the saltwater solution repeatedly until you’ve expelled as much of the mucus as possible. Otherwise, repeat at least 3 times a day until your cold symptoms subside.
Summary: | Prepare a saline solution. Swish the saline mouthwash around your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds, or up to 3 minutes. Spit the saline solution out, along with any mucus that is loosened from gargling. Repeat as often as necessary. | 4 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

In a report, the House of Lords EU Committee says Operation Sophia does not "in any meaningful way" disrupt smugglers' boats.
The destruction of wooden boats has forced the smugglers to use rubber dinghies, putting migrants at even greater risk, the document says.
Operation Sophia began in June 2015.
At the time the conflicts in Syria and Iraq had begun fuelling an unprecedented flow of refugees from the Middle East to Europe.
But the majority leaving Libya - itself wracked by fighting and human rights abuses - are migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.
EU migration: Crisis in seven charts
Europe migrant crisis - Special Report
The operation was launched in the wake of a series of disasters in which hundreds of migrants drowned while trying to cross from Libya to Italy.
The numbers risking their lives on the Libya-Italy route have been increasing, while the numbers reaching the Greek islands from Turkey have dropped.
An EU agreement with Turkey to intercept migrant boats in the Aegean Sea and send many migrants back took effect in March.
Last year the EU authorised its vessels to board, search, seize and divert vessels suspected of being used for people smuggling in the central Mediterranean.
Source: EUNavFor Med - Operation Sophia, 13 May 2016
The House of Lords report states that "the arrests made to date have been of low-level targets, while the destruction of vessels has simply caused the smugglers to shift from using wooden boats to rubber dinghies, which are even more unsafe".
It says that there are also "significant limits to the intelligence that can be collected about onshore smuggling networks from the high seas".
"There is therefore little prospect of Operation Sophia overturning the business model of people smuggling," the document concludes.
So far this year, 187,920 refugees and migrants have arrived in Europe by sea - 155,765 in Greece and 31,252 in Italy, the UN refugee agency UNHCR said on Friday.
They included about 1,000 rescued off the Italian coast on Thursday and taken to Sicily. About 500 of them - aboard two fishing boats - had left Egypt, and the others had sailed from Libya.
The number of dead or missing in the Mediterranean in January-May 2016 reached 1,357, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.
The House of Lords report complains that the EU mission is still operating out in international waters, and not - as originally intended - in Libyan waters.
The weakness of the Libyan state is seen by the report's authors as another key factor.
They say the absence of a formal invitation from Libya is preventing European Nato members from launching a military intervention, aimed at tackling the threat posed to Libya - and the wider region - by so-called Islamic State.
"However valuable as a search and rescue mission, Operation Sophia does not, and, we argue, cannot deliver its mandate. It responds to symptoms, not causes."
The report also urges the EU to urgently develop a strategy aimed at tackling the root causes of mass migration.
An EU spokesperson called the report "an informative contribution", adding that the EU would take account of its recommendations.
The spokesperson acknowledged the need to operate in Libyan waters - contingent on getting an invitation from Libyan officials.
Operation Sophia "served as a disincentive for traffickers" and improved the EU's knowledge of their criminal networks, the spokesperson said.
The mission is named after a baby born on an EU ship that rescued her mother off the coast of Libya in August 2015.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

By. Emma Glanfield. Josh Grant, 26, pictured, was shocked when Apple asked for written consent from his mother, who passed away from breast cancer earlier this year, to unlock her iPad. A grieving son has accused Apple of having an 'utter lack of understanding and discretion' after the company refused to unlock his dead mother’s iPad - and asked for written permission from her. Josh Grant, 26, from London, became the co-executor of his mother Anthea Grant’s will and estate with his brother Patrick when she passed away from breast cancer, aged 59, earlier this year. He said his mother enjoyed playing games on the iPad after her husband died in 2010 and said she liked its raft of new security measures since updating to iOS7. However, when the brothers contacted Apple following their mother’s death on January 19, they were told they would need 'written permission' from their mother to access the account.

In iCloud's terms and conditions, Apple warns: ‘You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. ‘Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted.'

Summarize the following:
By checking your land often, you will be able to see the early signs of erosion and act accordingly before the problem occurs or deteriorates. Erosion appears differently depending on the natural features in your region, but there are a few fairly universal telltale signs. Look near areas where the land has been disturbed by construction or natural occurrences that might have washed away the soil. You’ll often find erosion near culverts, pipes that move water under a trail or road. The best time to check for erosion is after heavy rains or other forms of extreme weather such as tornadoes or ice storms. Check for spots without vegetation. Hillsides and slopes often have places where no trees or plants grow. You might see a buildup of soil below them. Look for exposed plant roots. The soil might be washing or blowing off the top of roots that aren’t normally exposed to the elements. Look for exposed rock. If you notice new boulders that seem to be getting bigger each year, the soil might be receding around them. Look for channels and gullies. These are areas where water and wind have been able to cut through the soil, forming shallow channels or deeper gullies. This is a major sign of erosion that can lead to big problems if left unaddressed. Look for muddy or dirty water. This is a sign that soil is running off and likely eroding. A heavy rain will indicate where the water is forming channels and washing away the topsoil. You need this information in order to know how to best protect your land from further erosion. Here’s what to look for: Watch where the water runs. On healthy land, the blow of each raindrop is absorbed by a plant before it hits the ground, where it is then quickly absorbed. In problem areas, where there’s no groundcover, it pounds the ground and breaks up the soil, then washes it away. Watch which direction it seems to be running and where it collects. Look for standing puddles that are muddy or dirty. Muddy puddles where the water isn’t being absorbed correctly could be a sign of erosion in that area. Look at the color of the water in streams. In a healthy area, rainwater should be quickly absorbed into the ground and surrounding streams should run clear. In areas with erosion, you might see the streams get very muddy from soil runoff during a rainstorm. The only real remedy for erosion is stabilizing the soil and returning it to its natural state. The process by which you go about this task will be different depending on the state of your land and the location of the erosion. If you have light sheet erosion, which occurs on relatively flat areas of land, you can plant vegetation right away. You’ll start with temporary groundcover to hold the soil together, then gradually move on to adding native plants that will restore the land to its naturally healthy state. You may want to protect certain areas from further erosion by erecting barriers, such as rock piles. If you have channels on your land, they’ll need to be broken up in order to prevent them from creating gullies. If you have gullies, it will be necessary to use structures and digging techniques to support the soil before you can plant anything. If you try to plant seeds in a gully, they’ll just wash away in the rain. If you’re not sure how to proceed, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) can be a great resource for developing an erosion control plan. You can use the NCRS website at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/national/home/ . You can also call the NRCS local service centers for your area to discuss your erosion problem. The NCRS website has a list of all local service centers at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/contact/local/ . You may also ask them to dispatch an expert to help you determine the best way to control your erosion. http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/landscape/

Article Excerpt
New York's top prosecutor opened a new front in efforts to hold banks accountable for the financial crisis by filing a civil lawsuit against J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., alleging widespread fraud by the company's Bear Stearns unit in the sale of mortgage-backed securities.
The case is the first to be brought under the aegis of a group of federal and state prosecutors and regulators formed by President Barack Obama in January. If successful, the lawsuit could point the way to significantly more financial pain for the big banks, which face threatened government actions and numerous investor lawsuits tied to ... ||||| Unlike many of the other mortgage crisis cases brought by regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the task force’s action does not focus on a particular deal that harmed investors or an individual who was central to a specific transaction. Rather, the suit contends that the improper practices were institutionwide and affected numerous deals during the period.
A spokesman for Mr. Schneiderman declined to comment on the filing. A representative for JPMorgan, which acquired Bear Stearns in a fire sale in March 2008, said it would contest the allegations.
“We’re disappointed that the New York A.G. decided to pursue its civil action without ever offering us an opportunity to rebut the claims and without developing a full record — instead relying on recycled claims already made by private plaintiffs,” said Joseph Evangelisti, the bank’s spokesman. He added that the allegations predate JPMorgan’s acquisition.

The allegations in the suit against Bear and EMC are not new. The task force complaint closely echoes legal arguments made in recent years by numerous private litigants trying to recover losses in mortgage securities. Most of these cases continue to inch their way through the courts.
Late last week, for example, JPMorgan lost a round in one of these battles when Jed S. Rakoff, a federal judge in Manhattan, rejected the bank’s request to dismiss a complaint brought by Dexia, a Belgian-French bank. The European bank had bought $1.6 billion in mortgage securities issued by Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, another institution taken over by JPMorgan during the credit crisis.
Nevertheless, some lawyers who are battling the large banks and investment firms on behalf of mortgage investors said they welcomed the action by the task force. Gerald H. Silk, a lawyer at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann in New York, said: “The government’s action represents a complete validation of the cases brought by investors who were duped by the fraudulent sale of mortgage-backed securities by JPMorgan, WaMu and Bear Stearns.”

The suit encompasses work begun by Mr. Schneiderman’s office in the spring of 2011, according to people briefed on the investigation. The attorney general subpoenaed documents from JPMorgan Chase and from large mortgage insurers that had also brought cases against the banks for failing to live up to their promises about the types and quality of mortgages placed in loan pools and sold.
New York investigators also capitalized on a cooperation agreement struck by Andrew M. Cuomo, the previous attorney general, with Clayton Holdings, a major firm in the business of evaluating mortgages. The firm provided documents and e-mails showing that Bear Stearns routinely ignored major defects on loans it was purchasing and pooling so that it could preserve its relationship with mortgage originators.

After the mortgage fraud task force was created in early 2012, Mr. Schneiderman’s office combined its efforts with the Housing and Urban Development Department, the S.E.C., the inspector general of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department.
The lawsuit’s filing, just days before the first presidential debate and a little over a month before the election, may be a way for the Obama administration to try to convince voters that it is working to hold mortgage miscreants accountable for wrongdoing. But, lawyers say, filing a case is not the hard part; winning it is.
The complaint contends that Bear Stearns defrauded investors when it assured them of the stringent reviews being made of the loans the firm was bundling. “Rather than carefully reviewing loans for compliance with underwriting guidelines,” it said, “defendants instead implemented and managed a fundamentally flawed due diligence process that often, and improperly, gave way to originators’ demands.”
Bear Stearns and EMC took other steps to keep mortgages flowing and their originators happy.
Even after the loans it was bundling began failing at monumental rates, the complaint said, Bear Stearns did not require originators to buy them back as they were obligated to do. Instead, the firm allowed the originators to settle the put-back claims confidentially “by making cash payments that were a fraction of the contractual repurchase price,” according to the lawsuit.
The suit was brought under New York’s Martin Act, the state law that gives the attorney general wide latitude to bring fraud cases without demonstrating a defendant intended to defraud. The suit does not seek specific damages but asks for restitution for investors victimized by the deceptive practices and disgorgement of money received in connection with the fraud. ||||| Commuters are reflected in stone as they walk past the JP Morgan headquarters in New York, May 17, 2012.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a civil fraud lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) on Monday over mortgage-backed securities packaged and sold by Bear Stearns.
It was the first action to come out of a working group created by President Barack Obama earlier this year to go after wrongdoing that led to the financial crisis.
JPMorgan, which bought Bear Stearns for $10 a share in March 2008, said in a statement it would contest the allegations.
The suit accuses Bear Stearns of failing to ensure the quality of loans underlying residential mortgage-backed securities it packaged and sold in 2006 and 2007. Investors lost more than $22.5 billion on more than 100 of those securities, or one-quarter of their original value, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said there were "serious long-standing concerns" about the quality of reviews done by Bear Stearns, and that defects uncovered among the loans sold to investors were largely ignored.
The due diligence process was compromised "in order to increase their volume of securities", the complaint says.
It also alleged a "systematic abandonment of underwriting guidelines".
JPMorgan noted in its statement that the allegations concern actions by Bear Stearns before the investment bank was acquired by JPMorgan.
"The NYAG civil action relates to Bear Stearns, which we acquired over the course of a weekend at the behest of the U.S. Government. This complaint is entirely about historic conduct by that entity," the statement said.

Schneiderman, a co-chair of the working group, told Reuters on September 20 that his office would take action shortly and that he expected federal authorities to do so as well.
People familiar with the matter said a federal-state announcement was planned for Tuesday and Schneiderman's filing the case on Monday appears to have irked his federal colleagues.
Two federal officials familiar with the investigation said that while the lawsuit was brought under New York State law, much of the investigation was handled at the federal level.
Schneiderman's lawsuit, filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, was based on the Martin Act, New York State's powerful securities fraud statute, which does not require proof of intent to deceive.
Similar cases against other banks will follow, according to a person familiar with the lawsuit.
This is not the first time Bear Stearns has emerged as a central figure in the financial crisis. In June 2008, two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers were charged by federal prosecutors with lying to investors about the financial health of their funds, which had invested heavily in mortgage securities backed by subprime loans.
The managers were acquitted in a case that still stands as one of the few criminal prosecutions against Wall Street bankers to emerge from the financial crisis.
Monday's lawsuit comes in a tumultuous year for JPMorgan and Chief Executive Jamie Dimon. Federal authorities are currently investigating a nearly $6 billion trading loss in JPMorgan's chief investment office. Last month, U.S. power regulators asked the bank to demonstrate that it did not violate federal regulations by submitting misleading information and omitting facts in dealings with the regulator and California's electricity grid operator.
The Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group was formed to probe the pooling and sale of risky mortgages in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.
Obama, who is scheduled to debate his Republican rival Mitt Romney on Wednesday night, said in January he was creating the group to "hold accountable those who broke the law" and to "help turn the page on an era of recklessness".
The task force includes the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Internal Revenue Service.
The case is People v. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 451556/2012 New York state Supreme Court (New York County).

What is a shorter version of the above article? | – The mortgage task force of the Justice Department, including New York's attorney general, has launched its first lawsuit—against JPMorgan, charging wide-scale misconduct by Bear Stearns in the selling of mortgage securities. The complaint accuses Bear Stearns, bought by JPMorgan Chase in 2008, of defrauding investors who purchased mortgage securities packaged by the company from 2005 to 2007, reports the Wall Street Journal. The company ignored serious problems with the loans in the securities, the suit states, and made "material misrepresentations" about them, reports Reuters. Investors lost more than $22.5 billion on at least 100 of those securities—a quarter of their original value, according to the lawsuit. The suit accuses Bear Stearns of institution-wide misconduct that affected numerous deals during the period, reports the New York Times. A JPMorgan spokesman says the company will contest the allegations. “We’re disappointed that the New York AG decided to pursue its civil action without ever offering us an opportunity to rebut the claims and without developing a full record—instead relying on recycled claims already made by private plaintiffs,” said the spokesman, who noted the alleged misconduct predates JPMorgan's purchase of Bear Stearns. | 5 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method, in favour of empirical falsification: A theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and should be scrutinized by decisive experiments. He used the black swan fallacy to discuss falsification. If the outcome of an experiment contradicts the theory, one should refrain from ad hoc manoeuvres that evade the contradiction merely by making it less falsifiable. Popper is also known for his opposition to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with critical rationalism, "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy."

– Award-season frontrunners Inglourious Basterds, Precious, and Up in the Air led today’s Screen Actors Guild nominations with three apiece. Included in those nominations for Basterds and Precious is a nod for outstanding performance by a motion picture cast—SAG’s answer to the typical “best picture” category. Other films nominated in that category are An Education, The Hurt Locker, and Nine. The leading TV shows also received three nominations each: 30 Rock, The Closer, and Dexter. The SAG Awards is the only ceremony that honors actors only, the Los Angeles Times reports, and it is considered a bellwether for the Academy Awards—most Oscar nominees are also SAG nominees. Notably missing from the nominations list: Avatar, E! points out, along with The Hangover. The award ceremony airs Jan. 23. For the complete list of nominees, click here.
Expand this summary. | Los Angeles, California (Dec. 17, 2009)-Nominees for the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® for outstanding performances in 2009 in five film and eight primetime television categories and for the SAG honors for film and television stunt ensembles were announced this morning in Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center's Silver Screen Theater in West Hollywood.
Screen Actors Guild President Ken Howard introduced Michelle Monaghan ("Trucker") and Chris O'Donnell ("NCIS: Los Angeles") who announced the nominees for this year's Actors®. SAG Awards® Committee Chair JoBeth Williams and Vice Chair Daryl Anderson announced the stunt ensemble nominees.
The 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be simulcast live nationally on TNT and TBS on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. CT, and 6 p.m. MT from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center. (Check local listings if viewing via satellite or in HD). Recipients of the stunt ensemble honors will be announced from the SAG Awards red carpet during the TNT.TV and TBS.COM live pre-show webcasts.
Of the top industry accolades presented to performers, only the Screen Actors Guild Awards are selected solely by actors' peers. Two randomly selected panels-one for television and one for film-each comprised of 2,100 Guild members from across the United States, chose this year's Actor and stunt ensemble honors nominees. Integrity Voting Systems, the Awards' official teller, mailed the nominations secret ballots on Nov. 25. Voting was completed by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14, 2009.
Awards ballots will be mailed on Tuesday Dec. 29, 2009. The entire active membership of the Guild across the country, numbering approximately 100,000 actors, will vote on all categories. Ballots must be received by Integrity Voting Systems by noon Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010. Results will be tallied and sealed until the envelopes are opened by the presenters at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremonies on Jan. 23.
The Screen Actors Guild Post-Awards Gala benefiting the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, will be hosted for the 14th consecutive year by People Magazine and by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).
The complete list of nominations for the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards follows. A replay of both announcements will be available for viewing on TNT.TV <http://www.tnt.tv> and TBS.COM.

The dramedy "Up in the Air" scored nominations for best lead male actor for George Clooney and best supporting female actor for Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. And "Precious" the harrowing drama about an abused teenager received nominations for best lead female actor Gabourey Sidibe, best supporting female actor for Mo'Nique and best ensemble.Joining Clooney in the best lead male actor race are Jeff Bridges for "Crazy Heart," Colin Firth for "A Single Man," Morgan Freeman for "Invictus" and Jeremy Renner for "The Hurt Locker." Vying with Sidibe for outstanding female actor are Sandra Bullock for "The Blind Side," Helen Mirren for "The Last Station," Carey Mulligan for "An Education" and Meryl Streep for "Julie & Julia."The SAG Awards are the only accolades devoted strictly to honoring actors. The awards are also a prime bellwether for the Academy Awards. Though several actors have earned Oscar nominations without receiving a SAG nod, only one performer, Marcia Gay Harden for 2000's "Pollock," won the Academy Award without being nominated for a SAG.Other nominees for best ensemble in a film are "The Hurt Locker, "An Education" and "Nine."On the TV side, "Glee," "Mad Men," "30 Rock," "Dexter," "True Blood" and "The Good Wife" were among the top nominees. The nominees for best male actor in a drama series are Simon Baker for "The Mentalist," Bryan Cranston for "Breaking Bad," Michael C. Hall for "Dexter," Jon Hamm for "Mad Men" and Hugh Laurie for "House."Nominations for best female actor in a drama series went to Patricia Arquette for "Medium," Glenn Close for "Damages," Mariska Hargitay for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Holly Hunter for "Saving Grace," Julianna Margulies for "The Good Wife," and Kyra Sedgwick for "The Closer." Because there was a tie, there were six nominees instead of the traditional five nominees in this category.Competing for best ensemble in a drama series are the cast of "The Closer," "Dexter," "The Good Wife," "Mad Men" and "True Blood." On the comedy series front, the nominees for best male actor in a comedy series are Alec Baldwin for "30 Rock," Steve Carell in "The Office," Larry David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Tony Shaloub for "Monk" and Charlie Sheen for "Two and a Half Men."Vying for best female actor in a comedy series are Christina Applegate for "Samantha Who?" which is no longer on the air, Toni Collette for "The United States of Tara," Edie Falco for "Nurse Jackie," Tina Fey for "30 Rock" and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

As with the film, this claim is untrue. Showrunner Noah Hawley continued to use the Coens' device, saying it allowed him to ``tell a story in a new way.'' Hawley has played with the realism of the story further; responding to queries about Charlie Gerhardt, a character from season 2, he stated ``If he's out there, I'd like to get a letter from him someday, telling me how he turned out.''

We sat down at the sushi bar and ordered 1lb of the ahi poke and five rolls. When the poke came out, we were shocked! It was a huge mountain of poke! We thought 1lb would be just enough for the both of us, but it ended up being a full platter of fish that could feed 4-5 people!!! The service was great, and the food was great. When we got our bill, all the sushi was half off too! I guess we came during happy hour. Even more kudos for Island Sushi!

The education board retested 13 pupils on Friday after a viral video showed arts student Ruby Rai saying political science was about cooking.
The board cancelled the results of two science students but cleared 11 others. Ms Rai did not appear for the retest.
More than a million students sat Bihar's school leaving examinations.
The police complaint names Ms Rai, science students Saurabh Shrestha and Rahul Kumar, and a fourth student, identified as Shalini Rai.
Shalini Rai had not initially been called to take the retest, and it is unclear how authorities have determined that she cheated.
The state's education board has also filed a police complaint against the administrators of the Vishnu Dev Rai college in Vaishali district, where Ms Rai, Mr Kumar and Mr Shrestha were all students.
Last year, parents of students in the state were photographed climbing school walls to pass on answers to those inside.
The embarrassed state government announced tough measures such as fines and jail terms intended to curb cheating this year.
The markedly lower pass rate seen in the results announced last month was taken as an indication that the steps had worked.
But the footage of Ms Rai's interview provided new questions and fresh embarrassment for the authorities.
