Andhra CM Rajasekhara Reddy missing

Uncertainty persisted Wednesday afternoon over the whereabouts of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR), whose helicopter went missing at 10.30 a.m amid bad weather.

While Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Minister P Subhash Chandra Bose said that YSR was safe, police officials were not forthcoming on his location, reports IANS.

The Chief Minister was supposed to land at Chittoor district at 10.30 a.m when his helicopter lost contact with air traffic control. There is bad weather in the area.

The Minister, however, insisted that the chopper carrying the Chief Minister, his Special Secretary and two pilots landed safely.

"We have information that the chief minister is safe," said Chandra Bose. He was not ready to reveal any details.

Official sources said the details were not being revealed because Kurnool district where the chopper reportedly landed is a hotbed of Maoists.

Congress MP from Nandyal S P Y Reddy told a Telugu television channel that he was yet to receive any information about the chief minister's whereabouts.

"Police have launched search operations," he said from Kurnool.

Two helicopters took off from Hyderabad to join the search operations. The army's help has been sought to locate the chopper.

A high-level meeting is on at the state secretariat here.

Sources informed that the state Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy is reviewing the situation with Chief Secretary Ramakant Reddy, Director General of Police SSP Yadav, the Chief Minister's close aide and Rajya Sabha MP KVP Ramchandra Rao and other senior state ministers.

KANTHASWAMY MOVIE REVIEW

KANTHASWAMY – Chiyaan Vikram had got his trophy this time too. The film is pure commercial masala entertainer that strikes fine balance between style and substance and also has neat message. The film has all the trademark super-hero movie elements like flashy action scenes and eye-popping special effects. But, actually it is not a super-hero film that is the twist in the film.

The film opens as normal film showing ordinary people flocking to a Murugan temple which has become famous as all their wishes can be fulfilled at the temple. The people wrote their wishes in a piece of paper and tie it to a tree in the temple.

KANTHASWAMY (Vikram) dressed as a rooster picked up the letters of the ordinary people from the tree and in a Robin Hood way provides cash and succor. This made the local DIG (Prabhu) feeling some what unnatural and he starts investigating about it.

At the same time there is a brave and daring CBI officer KANTHASWAMY (Vikram), and he has the IQ of a genius, the strength of a bull and speed of cheetah. He is on the mission to uncover black money and illegal wealth of rich and corrupt Indians saved in foreign banks and he believed these are responsible for all the crime in our society.

He conducts a raid in the palatial bungalow of Pallur Paramajyothi Ponnusamy or PPP (Ashish Vidhyarthi) and finds unaccounted cash and documents of various foreign deals over Rs 1000 crore. Shriya plays the role of villain’s daughter and she swears revenge on KANTHASWAMY and pretends to fall in love with the hero.

The introduction scene of rooster KANTHASWAMY where he comes crashing through the dome of a police station and plays around with the bad comic cop is terrific. The highlight of the film is KANTHASWAMY dressed as a woman and teaching Charlie and Mayilsamy a fitting lesson is hilarious. The blindfolded action scenes in Mexico are stunning.

What is the connection between masked crusader Kandasamy and the CBI officer Kandasamy? Why is the CBI Joint Director Krishna Rao (Telugu actor Krishna) protecting Mr. Kandasamy? Can the villains- PPP, Rajmohan of RMG group, and Mexican Pitchumani (Alex) expose and bring Kandasamy to trial? Will the DIG succeed in proving that Kandasamy is no God? The underlining message in the film is, “Money (read black) is the root cause of all evil”.

The answers to all these questions are known only when we watch the movie. Technically the innovative camera angles and the lighting of the cinematographer made the film visually stunning. The sets of Thotta Dharani are awesome especially the bedroom of the heroine and the interior of the plus us used as villain’s hide out is fantastic.

The music for the film is by Devi Sri Prasad also given the special support. Two songs ‘Excuse me..’ and ‘Enperu meenakumari..’ have been well picturised and lavishly shot. Susi Ganesan also done a cameo in this film and by this flick he joined in the big league of directors in Tamil.

There is grandeur and richness in every shot in the film and no wonder it took two years to complete. The film with no doubt belongs to Vikram and he rocks. Shriya sizzles throughout and carries the glamourous role. Prabhu fitted the role of investigative cop. There is also a separate comedy track for Vadivel as Thengakadai Thenappan.

KANTHASWAMY is perfectly an action commercial entertainer and can be seen with the entire family and it is an enjoyable one.

How is mesothelioma treated

Treatment for mesothelioma depends on the location of the cancer, the stage of the disease, and the patient's age and general health. Standard treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Sometimes, these treatments are combined.

* Surgery is a common treatment for mesothelioma. The doctor may remove part of the lining of the chest or abdomen and some of the tissue around it. For cancer of the pleura (pleural mesothelioma), a lung may be removed in an operation called a pneumonectomy. Sometimes part of the diaphragm, the muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing, is also removed.

* Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, involves the use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy affects the cancer cells only in the treated area. The radiation may come from a machine (external radiation) or from putting materials that produce radiation through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy).

* Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Most drugs used to treat mesothelioma are given by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV). Doctors are also studying the effectiveness of putting chemotherapy directly into the chest or abdomen (intracavitary chemotherapy).

To relieve symptoms and control pain, the doctor may use a needle or a thin tube to drain fluid that has built up in the chest or abdomen. The procedure for removing fluid from the chest is called thoracentesis. Removal of fluid from the abdomen is called paracentesis. Drugs may be given through a tube in the chest to prevent more fluid from accumulating. Radiation therapy and surgery may also be helpful in relieving symptoms.

Are new treatments for mesothelioma being studied

Yes. Because mesothelioma is very hard to control, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is sponsoring clinical trials (research studies with people) that are designed to find new treatments and better ways to use current treatments. Before any new treatment can be recommended for general use, doctors conduct clinical trials to find out whether the treatment is safe for patients and effective against the disease. Participation in clinical trials is an important treatment option for many patients with mesothelioma.

People interested in taking part in a clinical trial should talk with their doctor. Information about clinical trials is available from the Cancer Information Service (CIS) (see below) at 1–800–4–CANCER. Information specialists at the CIS use PDQ®, NCI's cancer information database, to identify and provide detailed information about specific ongoing clinical trials. Patients also have the option of searching for clinical trials on their own. The clinical trials page on the NCI's Cancer.gov Web site, located at http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials on the Internet, provides general information about clinical trials and links to PDQ.

People considering clinical trials may be interested in the NCI booklet Taking Part in Cancer Treatment Research Studies. This booklet describes how research studies are carried out and explains their possible benefits and risks. The booklet is available by calling the CIS, or from the NCI Publications Locator Web site at http://www.cancer.gov/publications on the Internet.

What are the symptoms of mesothelioma?

Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleura are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.

These symptoms may be caused by mesothelioma or by other, less serious conditions. It is important to see a doctor about any of these symptoms. Only a doctor can make a diagnosis.

Source : www.cancer.gov

How is mesothelioma diagnosed

Diagnosing mesothelioma is often difficult, because the symptoms are similar to those of a number of other conditions. Diagnosis begins with a review of the patient's medical history, including any history of asbestos exposure. A complete physical examination may be performed, including x-rays of the chest or abdomen and lung function tests. A CT (or CAT) scan or an MRI may also be useful. A CT scan is a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. In an MRI, a powerful magnet linked to a computer is used to make detailed pictures of areas inside the body. These pictures are viewed on a monitor and can also be printed.

A biopsy is needed to confirm a diagnosis of mesothelioma. In a biopsy, a surgeon or a medical oncologist (a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancer) removes a sample of tissue for examination under a microscope by a pathologist. A biopsy may be done in different ways, depending on where the abnormal area is located. If the cancer is in the chest, the doctor may perform a thoracoscopy. In this procedure, the doctor makes a small cut through the chest wall and puts a thin, lighted tube called a thoracoscope into the chest between two ribs. Thoracoscopy allows the doctor to look inside the chest and obtain tissue samples. If the cancer is in the abdomen, the doctor may perform a peritoneoscopy. To obtain tissue for examination, the doctor makes a small opening in the abdomen and inserts a special instrument called a peritoneoscope into the abdominal cavity. If these procedures do not yield enough tissue, more extensive diagnostic surgery may be necessary.

If the diagnosis is mesothelioma, the doctor will want to learn the stage (or extent) of the disease. Staging involves more tests in a careful attempt to find out whether the cancer has spread and, if so, to which parts of the body. Knowing the stage of the disease helps the doctor plan treatment.

Mesothelioma is described as localized if the cancer is found only on the membrane surface where it originated. It is classified as advanced if it has spread beyond the original membrane surface to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, lungs, chest wall, or abdominal organs.

Who is at increased risk for developing mesothelioma?

Asbestos has been mined and used commercially since the late 1800s. Its use greatly increased during World War II. Since the early 1940s, millions of American workers have been exposed to asbestos dust. Initially, the risks associated with asbestos exposure were not known. However, an increased risk of developing mesothelioma was later found among shipyard workers, people who work in asbestos mines and mills, producers of asbestos products, workers in the heating and construction industries, and other tradespeople. Today, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets limits for acceptable levels of asbestos exposure in the workplace. People who work with asbestos wear personal protective equipment to lower their risk of exposure.

The risk of asbestos-related disease increases with heavier exposure to asbestos and longer exposure time. However, some individuals with only brief exposures have developed mesothelioma. On the other hand, not all workers who are heavily exposed develop asbestos-related diseases.

There is some evidence that family members and others living with asbestos workers have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, and possibly other asbestos-related diseases. This risk may be the result of exposure to asbestos dust brought home on the clothing and hair of asbestos workers. To reduce the chance of exposing family members to asbestos fibers, asbestos workers are usually required to shower and change their clothing before leaving the workplace.

Source : www.cancer.gov

What are the risk factors for mesothelioma

Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in about 70 percent to 80 percent of all cases. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals that occur naturally as masses of strong, flexible fibers that can be separated into thin threads and woven. Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air, especially during the manufacturing process, they may be inhaled or swallowed, and can cause serious health problems. In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung ailment), and other cancers, such as those of the larynx and kidney.

Source : www.cancer.gov

Smoking does not appear to increase the risk of mesothelioma. However, the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure significantly increases a person's risk of developing cancer of the air passageways in the lung.

What is the mesothelium

The mesothelium is a membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. It is composed of two layers of cells: One layer immediately surrounds the organ; the other forms a sac around it. The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the beating heart and the expanding and contracting lungs) to glide easily against adjacent structures.

The mesothelium has different names, depending on its location in the body. The peritoneum is the mesothelial tissue that covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity. The pleura is the membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the wall of the chest cavity. The pericardium covers and protects the heart. The mesothelial tissue surrounding the male internal reproductive organs is called the tunica vaginalis testis. The tunica serosa uteri covers the internal reproductive organs in women.

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.

The only recognized cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, though other factors such as smoking can make the disease more or less likely in some individuals. Industrial laborers were widely subjected to asbestos exposure on the job, as the material was widely used throughout the 20th century. Few of these workers knew they were being exposed to asbestos, however, despite the fact that many manufacturers were aware the material was hazardous. In most cases, mesothelioma symptoms will not appear in an individual exposed to asbestos until many years after the exposure has occurred. Those who believe they may have been exposed to asbestos should fill out our form to receive a free mesothelioma information packet, detailing treatment options, emerging therapies, and jobsite exposure information.

Sasikumar’s Nadodigal vs Akhil’s Valmiki

For the first time two eagerly awaited class movies are clashing at the Tamil Nadu Box- office, this weekend.

It is billed as the clash of the class cinema- Nadodigal v/s Valmiki. The former is the first release of director turned actor Sasikumar after last year’s trend setter Subramaniapuram purely as an actor. The latter is coming from Vikatan Talkies, a reputed production house whose last release Siva Manasulla Sakthi is the sleeper hit of 2009.

Nadodigal is directed by Samuthirakani, who has made a name for himself as a good television script writer and director, while debutant Anantha Narayanan is Valmiki director. It is Sasikumar’s and Akhil’s big ticket to become saleable solo heroes.

Abhinya, a differently- abled actress who cannot speak or hear is making her debut in Nadodigal as one of the heroines, while the other heroine is Ananya. The sensational Malayalam heroine Meera Nandan, is debuting in Tamil with Valmiki.

Both the films are targeting the upper class audiences of C3 territory- Chennai and Chengalpet multiplexes and Coimbatore.

The best of the screens in these areas have been snapped up by these two films. And both the films carry clean ‘U’ certificate!

Lydia Hearst in town?

Lydia Hearst (above) -- as in, the daughter of Patty and great-grandaughter of William Randolph -- may be in Boston tomorrow night. The Kendall Square Cinema is hosting a big premiere of the young model's new movie, "The Last International Playboy," and so far, Hearst is on the guestlist.

Hearst and a few other "Playboy" cast members -- including Boston-born "Project Runway" model Polina Frantsena -- are also expected to show up at an after-party for the screening at the Estate. Supermodel Paulina Porizkova, as in wife of Ric Ocasec, has also RSVP'd a yes to the late-night shindig. Very Hollywood, yes?

Chess in Concert

Originally recorded as a concept album in 1984 by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus (the latter two from pop sensation group ABBA) and later performed worldwide with several reincarnations, Chess is a musical involving two chess players and a manager who becomes one's love interest. Early on, the musical could be seen performed at both prestigious West End and Broadway locales and was eventually also rendered in Los Angeles, Melbourne, and Stockholm. Chess spawned the international hit "One Night in Bangkok" and also features ballads "Pity the Child," "Heaven Help My Heart," "Embassy Lament," and "I Know Him So Well."

This new revival, 25 years after the original, features a young talented cast comprised of Idina Menzel (from 2005's Rent, Wicked), Josh Groban, Adam Pascal (2005's Rent), Kerry Ellis (Wicked), and Marti Pellow (from Scottish pop band Wet Wet Wet). Tonight the filmed production will make it's debut on PBS.

NBC’s not must see TV
8 p.m. I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
The show originally aired back in the early 2000’s which sucked. And it took five years for them to remake it – and it sucks. Paraphrasing analysis from David Gonos.

ABC double-dose … Idiots-aplenty
8 p.m. – Wipeout
9 p.m. – I Survived a Japanese Game Show
The latter is premiering for the first time. I’ll be honest, for about five episodes everyone here was in love with it, then it faded quietly. I’m willing to jump back in, because frankly there is absolutely nothing else on television besides “True Blood” and baseball.

Fox … nope (Unless the first name is Megan. Hence the picture to the right that has absolutely nothing to do with anything – but somehow is my everything).
8-10 p.m. So You Think You Can Dance
BORING.

BBC, theatre for television 9 p.m.
9 p.m. -- Gordon Ramsey’s F Word
It’s the fourth season the show has been on television, but the first time I’ve heard of it. At any rate, former Spice Girl (current??) Geri Halliwell challenges Ramsay to meatball-off. This show has to fall somewhere between Meh and ROFLcopter.

Discovery, it’s like health class but clothed …
8 p.m. – Time Warp visits Las Vegas
9 p.m. – Mythbusters explores popcorn myths and convertibles and rain incidents.

Comedy Central, a station that correctly identifies itself
9:30 p.m. – South Park’s “Die Hippie, Die” episode.

Discovery Health
8 p.m. – Obese and Pregnant
It follows around three expectant mothers that are morbidly obese. Words cannot explain the confusion I have towards this.

History Channel
9 p.m. – Monsterquest seeks out killer crocodiles.

Suzanne TRACHT

Suzanne TRACHT of Jar has opened a second restaurant, and it's not exactly just down the street. Called Tracht's, it's in the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, in a town that seems to be largely off the radar for L.A. chefs until now. Part of the hotel's $11-million renovation, Tracht's has a great spot at the corner of Pine Avenue and Ocean Boulevard.

The dining room is très chic, with lots of dark wood, white tablecloths and giant ruched orange fabric lampshades hovering overhead. In the bar, which serves food until midnight most nights and until 1 a.m. on weekends, water slithers down a glass wall, and more than a thousand bottles of wine reside in a glassed-in wine cabinet.

The most inviting aspect of Tracht's, other than the elegant chophouse fare, is the outdoor patio, which wraps around one corner of the building and looks out on Ocean Boulevard toward the Pacific. Though buildings block much of the water view, tables under handsome cantilevered umbrellas still can revel in that authentically salty breeze. Glass windscreens and a radiant heated floor keep you comfy enough to concentrate on the food. There's also a jolly fire pit with seating for those who want to cozy up with a martini or a glass of wine.

Tracht's menu hews very closely to Jar's, presenting a neat lineup of the Los Angeles restaurant's best dishes. The crab deviled eggs make a delightful little appetizer to share, hard-boiled eggs with a spicy stuffing topped with a little fresh crabmeat. There are Hama Hama oysters on the half shell served with a black pepper ponzu and a terrific take on Caesar salad made with crisp, slightly bitter red endive instead of the usual romaine leaves. I'm a big fan of Tracht's deconstructed lobster cocktail with chunks of beautifully cooked lobster and shredded green mango drenched in lime. If you want to go lighter, order the pretty butter lettuce salad with breakfast radishes and a shower of fresh herbs.

Over our first courses, we watch the people parade by on Ocean Boulevard. It's nothing like the crowd streaming by farther north on Santa Monica's Ocean Avenue, and that's the beauty: Long Beach has its own relaxed vibe.

With Tracht's in residence, you can enjoy the scene while digging into a remarkably flavorful veal porterhouse or savoring Jar's signature pot roast with carrots and caramelized onions. Char siu pork chop is a thick one, heavily brined and basted with a sweet marinade that chars up beautifully. It may not be to everyone's taste, but if you favor teriyaki and love sweet Chinese dishes, this is your baby.

Steak lovers get their choice of Kansas City strip, skirt steak, rib-eye or filet. But there are also some braised options, such as a fine coq au vin or braised lamb shank perfumed with coriander and star anise. Most of the main courses come with an onion roasted in its skin until it's soft and velvety and stuffed with a pesto.

Tracht has always turned out appealing side dishes. Onion rings here are so crisp and delicious that when you finish one order, you want to ask for another. Sautéed pea shoots with garlic and hot pepper are wonderful. And as for duck fried rice, it's sheer genius to put this on a chophouse menu, because it's such a fine accompaniment to most of the meats and even fish.

For dessert, the banana cream pie has the same luscious filling of softly whipped cream and bananas as it does at Jar — and the same hard, cookie-like crust.

Obviously, Tracht can't be in two places at once, so when she's in L.A. at her primary restaurant, chef de cuisine Jessica Alexander, former sous-chef at Studio in Laguna Beach's Montage resort, is in charge.

Based on a single visit a few days after the restaurant opened on the propitious date of 7/7/07, Alexander seems to have the same meticulous attention to detail as Tracht does.

An expedition to the pristine forests of Ecuador near the Peruvian border uncovered 12 new species, including a salamander that Conservation International.

The discoveries in the Nangaritza region of the Cordillera del Condor included what the researchers termed a “remarkably ugly bug-eyed salamander,” a red poison arrow frog and a frog smaller than a “pinky” fingernail. A lizard, a third frog and seven grasshoppers also were among the newly found creatures.

One of the species for the frog is a Glass Frog, so-called for its translucent skin that shows internal organs. The frog is also called Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum.

ensign, john ensign affair, darlene ensign, ensign affair, john ensign biography

Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, a leading conservative mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, admitted Tuesday he had an extramarital affair with a woman who was a member of his campaign staff. "Last year I had an affair. I violated the vows of my marriage," Ensign said at a brief news conference. "It is the worst thing I have ever done in my life. If there was ever anything in my life that I could take back, this would be it."

Ensign spokesman Tory Mazzola said the affair took place between December 2007 and August 2008 with a campaign staffer who was married to an employee in Ensign's Senate office. Neither has worked for the senator since May 2008.

Ensign, 51, said he would not mention the name of the campaign aide involved in the affair. He described the woman and her husband as good friends.

"Our families were close," a weary-looking Ensign said. "That closeness put me into situations which led to my inappropriate behavior. We caused deep pain to both families and for that I am sorry."

Ensign made it clear he did not plan to resign. Ensign did not participate earlier Tuesday in a Senate vote concerning the ailing travel industry, an unusual absence considering the topic's relevance in his home state.

It was unclear why Ensign decided to disclose the affair Tuesday. He took no questions from reporters at the news conference.

Ensign's wife, Darlene, also released a statement about the affair.

"Since we found out last year we have worked through the situation and we have come to a reconciliation. This has been difficult on both families. With the help of our family and close friends our marriage has become stronger," Mrs. Ensign said.

The Ensigns have three children.

Ensign was first elected to the Senate in 2000 and quickly rose through the GOP ranks. He chaired the GOP's Senate campaign operation in 2007 and 2008, and last year was named chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the No. 4 position in the party's Senate leadership. The committee coordinates the GOP's legislative efforts in the Senate.

Last month, Ensign traveled to Iowa for a speech organized by a conservative advocacy group, sparking speculation that he had an interest in possibly running for president. Aides said the visit was about staking out a leadership position within the GOP.

Ensign has been a rising star among conservatives, speaking out against President Barack Obama's stimulus package, statehood for the District of Columbia and union-organizing legislation and in favor of gun owners' rights. Ensign has been a member of the men's ministry the Promise Keepers, a Christian ministry.

He had been highly critical of former Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, who served in Congress for a quarter-century when he was arrested in an airport bathroom sex sting. Ensign stopped short of urging him to resign but suggested strongly that he should.

"I wouldn't put myself hopefully in that kind of position, but if I was in a position like that, that's what I would do," Ensign said. "He's going to have to answer that for himself." In the end, Craig served out his term.

Ensign is the latest member of Congress who has acknowledged infidelity. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., is rebounding from being linked with a prostitute.

Over the years, Ensign and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., have worked closely on issues affecting Nevada and have an agreement not to criticize the other publicly.

"Sen. Reid's thoughts are with Sen. Ensign and his family at this time," Reid spokesman Jon Summers.

"Sen. Reid's thoughts are with Sen. Ensign and his family at this time." Reid spokesman Jon Summers.

Republicans lost eight seats last November under Ensign's campaign leadership, with one race, in Minnesota, still undecided. The losses put Democrats within one seat of having a 60-40 majority, enough to prevent the GOP from blocking bills and appointments if all of them vote together.

Ensign is a veterinarian and adopted son of a Nevada casino mogul. He clearly was the most influential Republican in his state as the governor, Jim Gibbons, struggled with a horrendous economy and accusations of infidelity as well.

jada pinkett smith, hawthorne tnt, hawthorne jada pinkett smith, hawthorne imdb, hawthorne show

Tonight Jada Pinkett Smith returns to the small screen for the first time in years. She stars in the new TNT drama, HawthoRNe. Like another new show, Showtime's Nurse Jackie, HawthoRNe follows the personal and professional tribulations of a nurse.

Christina Hawthorne (Smith) may be small, but when it comes to fighting for her patients and their families, she's a force to be reckoned with. By the looks of preview clips and the scene I've included below, this is one TV nurse who is bound to make a lasting impression.

In addition to fighting for her patients at work, Hawthorne fights to remain sane at home. The show takes place one year after her husband's death and we watch the tough nurse struggle to manage her own grief while also trying to be there for her rebellious daughter, Camille. The show also stars Michael Vartan as chief of surgery and Suleka Mathew, among others. Her personal life aside, Hawthorne seems like the kind of flawed but dedicated nurse people might look up to.

After the jump I have a preview clip from tonight's premiere, so read more.

Justin Denney is the student who was denied his high school diploma by the teachers after he carried out show boating on the stage.

The student Justin Denney goes to school at Bonny Eagle High School during the ceremony came on stage to receive his high school diploma when his name was called out by the teachers but when he reached on the stage, he took a long bow and blew a kiss into the audience.

For indulging in blatant show boating, Justin Denney was told to go back into the audience and take his seat without his diploma being handed to him.

The Bonny Eagle High School senior’s mother Mary Denny is obviously quite upset and cannot still come to terms that her son’s taking a bow and blowing a kiss on stage led was grounds for the superintendent to withhold his diploma.

loveshack, b 52 s, b 52, love shack lyrics, b 52s

B52s_l EW has learned exclusively that Atlanta-based country duo Sugarland will be performing "Love Shack" with fellow Georgians The B-52s on tonight's CMT Music Awards. This news comes on the heels of this morning's announcement that Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush will release their first concert DVD, Live on the Inside, on August 4th in a Wal-Mart store near you. The hi-def show will be accompanied by a separate CD featuring live cuts of the duo's infamous covers, including Beyonce's "Irreplaceable," Pearl Jam's "Better Man," Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire," and -- synergy! -- "Love Shack."

I'll be live-blogging the broadcast tonight and will have more thoughts then, but for now I'm of two minds about this choice. As much as I always prefer to hear original songs, Bush and Nettles do covers better than anyone in the biz -- and they've been closing out shows with "Love Shack" all year, so why not? Plus, as a child of the '80s, I can never get enough of Fred Schneider. (Rock lobster!)

Unnai Pol Oruvan Movie Trailer | Unnai Pol Oruvan Trailer

Unnai Pol Oruvan Movie Trailer

Here’s the just-out teaser trailer of Unnai Pol Oruvan, the remake of A Wednesday! Check out the official Web-site too.

All the details provided by Kamal earlier are confirmed in the teaser. Additionally, the rumours of his elder daughter, Shruti Haasan doing the music are proven to be true. The title clears the confusion created by the media linking this remake with Thalaivan Irukkindraan (which didn’t suit one bit).

Kamal does look simple in the trailer. The challenge will be to carry it on throughout the movie. The music seems suitable and I guess it’s Shruti’s high pitch vocals that are featured.

The title is very apt and reminiscent of Ennai Pol Oruvan, featuring Kamal’s favourite Sivaji Ganesan.

"Back From The Dead", the first new album in almost two decades from England's "loudest heavy metal band" SPINAL TAP, is available for streaming in its entirety at Spinner.com.

Due on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, the follow-up to 1992's "Break Like The Wind" sees TAP members David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls unearth their long-self-suppressed studio versions of the classic songs from the movie "This is Spinal Tap", as well as six new additional tracks and an exclusive hour-long accompanying DVD featuring a track-by-track video commentary by the band. "Back From The Dead" also features guest appearances by Phil Collen (DEF LEPPARD), Keith Emerson, John Mayer and Steve Vai.

"This album title says it all. We're back from the dead. But we weren't dead. But we definitely are back," proclaimed Hubbins.

"Back From The Dead" is a deluxe CD/DVD package aggressively priced and containing 19 original SPINAL TAP songs, a one-hour DVD and unique pop-up diorama package that unveils three 12-inch action figures (courtesy of Sideshow Collectibles) of the band along with a proportionally sized Stonehenge.

"Back From The Dead" is destined to be a collector's item, especially among collectors. The LP includes the newly interpreted TAP classics "Hell Hole", "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight", "Heavy Duty", "Rock 'n' Roll Creation", "America", "Cups and Cakes", "Big Bottom", "Sex Farm", "Stonehenge", "Gimme Some Money" and "(Listen to the) Flower People".

"While the movie and soundtrack accurately represented our stage sound at the time, the studio versions of these songs on this album represent the cosmic maturation of the material, within a digital context. Also, they're louder," stated Smalls.

The new songs recorded specifically for "Back From The Dead" include "Warmer Than Hell", "Short and Sweet", "Celtic Blues", "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare", "Back From The Dead" and "the first known studio recording of the soon-to-be-long-forgotten 'Jazz Oddyssey'."

"Back From The Dead" was produced by CJ Vanston, who arranged and played keyboards on the band's "Break Like The Wind" album and was musical director for their 1992, 2000 and 2007 tours. As a film composer, he has produced music for Christopher Guest's movies "Waiting For Guffman", "Best In Show", "A Mighty Wind" and "For Your Consideration".

The "Back From The Dead" deluxe CD/DVD package is being distributed completely outside of the traditional major label infrastructure. Retail distribution and marketing of physical CDs will be handled by Artist2Market (A2M) while digital marketing and distribution will be serviced by INgrooves.

"Back From The Dead" track listing:

01. Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight
02. Back From The Dead
03. (Funky) Sex Farm
04. Rock 'n' Roll Creation
05. Jazz Oddyssey I
06. Gimme Some Money
07. Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare
08. Heavy Duty
09. America
10. Jazz Oddyssey II
11. (Listen to the) Flower People (Reggae Stylee)
12. Hell Hole
13. Big Bottom
14. Celtics Blues
15. Jazz Oddyssey III
16. Warmer Than Hell
17. Stonehenge
18. Short and Sweet
19. Cups and Cakes

In addition to the above 19 songs, fans of SPINAL TAP can find a free download for the previously unreleased "Saucy Jack" from Hubbins' unfinished musical about Jack the Ripper on the band's web site, www.spinaltap.com. There are also rumors that there will be exclusive versions of "Sex Farm" and "(Listen to the) Flower People" available on certain digital outlets. And if that is not enough, the band will be releasing a very special 11-inch, limited-edition vinyl version of "Back From The Dead".

letterman joke, letterman palin joke, letterman and palin, letterman apology, fire letterman

The latest development in this inappropriate joke mishegas is that Letterman came up with an even longer and more obsequious apology, and a fat lot of good it did him. Dan Collins declares himself done with the subject (whew), but others still want him expunged from CBS. "It's still not clear that he understands what he's apologizing for," says Allahpundit; apparently Letterman needs re-education. "Sooner or later," says Puma PAC with stars in its eyes, "it WILL become as unacceptable to make jokes about slutty flight attendants and sexual assault as it is to make 'jokes' about watermelon and gorillas." You can bet that's not the entirety of their list of proscribed subjects, either. Little Miss Attila traces Letterman's war against women to his earlier, funnier show and an attack upon the dignity of Joan Collins. The Fire David Letterman rally is still on for tomorrow afternoon.

virgin birth in humans, human parthenogenesis, eclampsia, virgin birth, parthenogenesis in humans

Eclampsia is a very real condition effecting pregnant women. Though Eclampsia usually follows extremely high activity, and wouldn’t generally be found in a overweight teen, unless she had suddenly taken up a strenuous exercise program. Eclampsia also generally sets in 6 months in to a pregnancy, not 3 weeks after.

Human Parthenogenesis, or Virgin birth, doesn’t occur in mammals. You may remember this was the premise for Jurasic Park. With Dinosaur which had frog DNA in them switched genders. While you could argue Mary gave birth as a Virgin… That was a with some help. As I’ll explain in a minute.

House’s Trick would only work if the patient was having a girl. And would be a very dangerous lie to tell because a diagnose of genetic risks would be so in accurate after such a lie. In human parthenogenesis the daughter would be a clone of her mother. If Jesus had been a girl, it would have been possible that his birth was the result of human parthenogenesis but as Mary had no Y chromosome that rules that out as a possibility.

trooper stops ambulance, puppy flushed down toilet, chicken breeds, dyno rod, trooper vs paramedic, chicken coops

Trooper Stops Ambulance - This is a story that took place on May 24. What happened is that Trooper Daniel Martin got upset because the ambulance didn’t get out of his way in time to respond to a call for backup. Martin also saw that the driver made him an obscene gesture, this was enough for him, so he stopped the ambulance.

According to his lawyer Martin didn’t know there was a patient on the ambulance!

An altercation took place between the cops and paramedics. The patient was in the end finally treated and she suffered no harm, but the family questions the incident. According to the Associated Press:

The situation escalates, with White repeatedly telling Martin he has a patient that he wants to take to the hospital, and Martin telling him to get back in the ambulance. They soon begin scuffling on the side of the road as Martin attempts to arrest White, at one point grabbing him by the throat, video shows.

The attorney of White, the paramedic, said:

“If the guy was bruised, it didn’t make any difference, he ought not to stop ambulance drivers for hurting his feelings.”

Damn right.

Those were the news about the Trooper Stops ambulance.
