Camilo Jose Vergara
Berlin Prize Fellow - Class of Spring 2010
Writer, Photographer, Documentarian
Camilo Vergara is a Chilean-born photographer, writer, and documentarian who lives and works in New York City. Since 1977 he has been documenting changes in the urban landscape, focusing on American slums and decaying urban environments, along the way becoming an "archivist of decline," a documentarian of walls, buildings, and entire city blocks. His work is noted for picturing the same buildings and neighborhoods multiple times over many years, and in so doing recording the changing nature of the city itself. Vergara's photographs tell how the American inner city evolved and what it gained and lost in the process. He has published several books, including American Ruins (Monacelli, 1999), The Twin Towers Remembered (Princeton Architectural Press, 2001), and How the Other Half Worships (Rutgers University Press, 2005), His book The American Ghetto (Rutgers University Press, 1997) won the Robert E. Park Award of the American Sociological Association.
In 2002 Vergara was awarded a "genius" award by the MacArthur Foundation. His work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at, among others, the National Building Museum, the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Vergara also served as a fellow of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities at Rutgers University. At the Academy, Vergara will document the Berlin of the destitute. He will be looking for ruins, defended buildings, institutions designed to house, treat, and reform poor people, and he will photograph immigrant neighborhoods, urban renewal sites, examples of Socialist housing, community organizations, and street art. After documenting ghettos in the United States for nearly four decades, Vergara aims at expanding his purview of poor communities in the US to those abroad, particularly in Germany. He also aims to compare the ruined neighborhoods of the South Bronx and Detroit to those of Germany after World War II — even if those ruins have disappeared from Berlin and survive only in the city's archives.
American Academy Project
Ruins and Rebuilding: German Post-Industrial Cities and American Ghettos
Lecture Summary
From the Hood to the Kiez
So instead of trying to make sense of Berlin by photographing the urban fabric and built environment I turned to taking more or less random street portraits of its inhabitants using a concealed camera. My hope is that my pictures of ordinary people, taken as they accidentally place themselves in front of my camera, will develop into a collective portrait of the city.
In this endeavor I am not interested in global Berlin. I am delighted to find out Berlin is a "celebrity free" city. »

Child care centres
About child are centres
Child care centres offer full-time or part-time care for children aged up to 6 years.
Qualified staff provide safe learning environments and education programs to meet children's developmental needs. Many child care centres also have funded kindergarten programs for 3 and 4-year-old children.
Child care centres operate under the National Quality Framework and must meet the requirements of national legislation and regulations. The Regulation and Quality Assessment section on the Department of Education and Training website has information about the regulations and standards that child care services must meet.
Child care centre fees
All child care centres charge fees to look after your child. The fee amount depends on the length of time your child is cared for and the type of service you choose.
You may be eligible to claim the Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Tax Rebate to reduce the cost of child care. To find out if you are eligible for these benefits, contact the Family Assistance Office.
Council's role in child care
Many children's services use Council-owned building. We develop and maintain lease and service agreements with operators. We also do maintenance and improvement works on these buildings.
Council provides services and support for child care centres and kindergartens in Moreland. We provide training and professional development to early childhood professionals, coordinate Moreland's child care network meetings, support and advise committees of management and coordinate parent information sessions.
We also provide inclusion support for children with additional needs for State-funded kindergarten programs through the Preschool Field Officer program.
Through the Family and Children Services Advisory Committee, we provide information to Council about the delivery of family and children's services.
Child Care Central Registration Service
Council has a Central Registration Service for child care. This is an agreement with a number of child care centres in the Moreland area for Council to take registration bookings on their behalf to enable fair and easy access for families to child care.

- Child Care Central Registration information sheet (DOC 236Kb)

Gigi is very outgoing, happy, bubbly, inquisitive and wonderfully affectionate, and her foster mom adores her. She gets along with cats, dogs, and older more mature children, and her foster mom thinks she is practically perfect! Gigi has blossomed into the ideal doggy companion since being in her foster home. They describe her as vivacious, a bundle of personality and a lot of fun. She is enjoying learning to be an adored pet and just loves it. Gigi is house-trained and playful, once she gets to know you. Although she is crate-trained, she has not been crated at all in her foster home and prefers not to be. If it is necessary, it should be only for her owner to run errands, not to be gone all day.
Gigi does love her fenced yard and romps around, being close to her people. Therefore, she definitely needs a fenced yard and an owner who is committed to going outside with her to insure her safety. She is very loyal and is not a hyper dog. She really loves to go bye-bye in the car and to take walks. Gigi has made a close attachment to another foster dog, a male, and she would like someone to take his place in her new home. She would prefer someone who works from home, can take her to work with them, or someone who is home most of the time.
Gigi is up to date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and has been spayed and given a clean bill of health.
We do not ship our rescues, and the adopter does have to travel to the foster home to pick up the dog, and we never place dogs with an electric or invisible fence. Pet doors are ok as long as they are closed and locked while the family is gone and at night.
American Brussels Griffon Rescue Alliance Inc. (ABGRA) and American Affenpinscher Rescue (AAR) came into being to meet the needs of the Brussels Griffons and Affenpinschers who are abandoned, might be abandoned, or whose circumstances we can improve.
We are especially mindful of the Griffs and Affens that have spent their lives in commercial breeding facilities and who will have a chance at a better life through our efforts.We also rescue both breeds from animal shelters and accept owner surrendered Griffs and Affens.
ABGRA, & our subsidiary AAR, is a non-profit national rescue group.
All adoptions go through our website-
We do not have a kennel facility and place all of our Griffons and Affens by application. All of our rescued dogs are living in foster homes where public viewing is not possible.
Thank You!

One of Boston's finest party starters is taking on the role of closer next week as we wrap up our Electric Summer music series at the W Hotel's Descent nightclub, a four-night run that found us tearing it up downtown with M|O|D, JASS, and Into The Alpha.
To get us all worked up proper for their live performance September 20, Somerville electro-funk boom-makers SPF 5000 have created an exclusive 40-minute mixtape just for the party, linking up a batch of their own remixed and reloaded dance tracks — from the throbbing sizzle of "White Hot Fantasy" to house banger "Doorknockers" to theie rousing cover of Prince's "Erotic City" — as well as their own bootleg of Jogyo's "Thundacat," which will soon get released on Dither Down Records.

Thule warranty information.
I bought this rack with the intention of hauling around two adult mountain bikes and three children's bikes. I was a little concerned that the children's bikes wouldn't fit on the rack because they are a little bulkier and shorter than the adult bikes. I had to buy the Frame Adapters so the children's bikes would fit on the rack but, after a little configuration, all five bikes fit perfectly! This rack is sweet and i recommend it to anyone!!
Popped the rack on no problems. the stabilizers worked well. First trip out was just 1 adult bike and two kids bikes. I didn't have too much of an issues getting the kids bikes to attach the rack.
This is a well made product, we'll see how it stands up in the long run.
Hello man! Great website ! I really enjoyed reading it.

It's a serious business, show business. And lawmakers play a vital role, especially when it comes to creating tax breaks to allow movie production budgets to feel the love.
Certainly Hollywood loves Hawaii when it comes to shooting movies there. And the 50th state is closing in on legislation to raise movie production credits from the current 15 per cent to 35 per cent on Oahu, the island where Honolulu is located, and from 20 per cent to a whopping 40 per cent in the rest of the state, aiming to make it the US movie-shoot state of choice. The proposed laws have attracted heavyweight backing from two men likely to bring big-buck business to the islands. Hollywood label Relativity Media headed by Ryan Kavanaugh and Steve Bing's Shangri-La biz empire have both backed the proposed breaks and are publicly lobbying for them. And Bradley Cooper, Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Sylvester Stallone and Ashley Tisdale also contributed to a six-minute video extolling the virtues of Hawaii as a place to locate shoots. A state legislative analysis says it will cost Hawaii $46.3 million in the next fiscal year. Kavanaugh said he expects it would bring in about $2 billion a year in business fairly quickly.
Harsh lesson
It can be hard when you become regarded by the Hollywood community as a reliable, successful star of the teen-queen flick. Which might be why Vanessa Hudgens (above left), a veteran of Disney's High School Musical movies and a member of Zack Snyder's ensemble fantasy Sucker Punch, is about to sign for a very different sort of pic. Hudgens is close to signing up for Gimme Shelter, an indie drama centring on a pregnant, homeless teen who flees her abusive mother and seeks out her biological father. More trouble lies ahead when, after initially taking her in, daddy throws her out when she refuses to have an abortion. Brendan Fraser is signed to play her dad. Ron Krauss has written and will direct the picture.
A treat in store
TV show runner Josh Schwartz is about to realise his dream. Schwartz is putting together casting for his big-screen directorial debut, Fun Size, a teen comedy set over Halloween-set about a sarcastic teen who takes her little brother trick-or-treating only to lose him on the rounds. Scripted by The Colbert Report's Max Werner and backed by Paramount, the project is talking to Jane Levy about taking on the role as the sharp-tongued bigger sister. Levy most recently appeared in Showtime's US version of UK show Shameless.
When naked ambition pays off
In the US, privately financed pictures are fairly commonplace. But often projects bankrolled in that way find themselves in the persuasion game with distributors to help find an audience. But one privately financed comedy set in the world of male strippers is unlikely to struggle to see the light of day despite it being a tricky sell. That's because Magic Mike is being directed by Steven Soderbergh and will star Channing Tatum (above right). Oh, and the story is based on Tatum's real-life experiences as a stripper when he was a 19-year-old in Tampa. Tatum is to star as Magic Mike, a man who schools a young dancer in the tricks of the trade.
Dancing queen
As a writer in Hollywood, a production green light on a movie you've penned makes life easier. Katie Wech, who wrote Disney's upcoming teen movie Prom, has been hired by the studio to write another teen movie. It may or may not be a sequel to her first Prom but it seems Disney is confident Wech has the chops to do another one before it sees any return on her first. Prom features a cast of relative unknowns and up-comers in its tale of a detail-obsessed prom committee leader caught off-guard when she unexpectedly falls for the school's bad boy, among several storylines.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Punk'd, both the MTV original and the BET remake, is a reality show about playing pranks on celebs on a grand scale. Jokes range from stealing and illegal gambling to physical altercations, police chases, and blowing things up. There's lots of swearing ("damn," "s--t"; "f--k" bleeped) too. Occasionally pranks involve sexual subject matter, including infidelity and the injury of genitalia. Kids may find these pranks funny, but they don't send the best messages. Viewers of all ages should be reminded that what they see here is produced by professionals and should not be tried at home.

What's the story?
PUNK'D is a reality series featuring folks playing large-scale practical jokes on celebrities. The show, which was created and originally hosted by Ashton Kutcher, has undergone a series of transformations over the years, including moving from MTV to BET. But the show's premise has always remained the same: to feature groups of friends (many of them popular celebs in their own right) playing well-organized tricks on other celebrities to see how they react. From Justin Bieber fooling Taylor Swift, to getting Kevin Hart's friends on board to create a staged altercation with a supposed crazed fan, the reactions are as big as the pranks that are played on them.
Is it any good?
The now-classic series is fun, irreverent, and sometimes mean thanks to the large-scale pranks designed to elicit big reactions from the victims. Every installment of the show reveals clever setups requiring a talented team of actors, stunt doubles, and synchronized behind-the-scenes work. The BET version also features some behind-the-scenes discussions with the celebrities' friends and other planning details.
But though it's offered in the spirit of fun, the events are often humiliating. The stars' reactions are of such extreme relief or amusement that watching the surprise is irresistible. But when you get right down to it, it's a show designed to make you forget that it's generating lots of laughs at other people's expense.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about how it feels to be the butt of a joke, when jokes are harmless, and when they hurt. When do pranks cross the line? What's an example of an inappropriate or harmful prank? How does it feel to be the butt of a joke?
What are the differences between the original MTV series and the BET one? Are the pranks any different? Does knowing what goes on behind the scenes make the tricks less kind?

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
The Boston Pops opened its 128th season Wednesday night, bringing Hollywood and honky tonk to Symphony Hall.
And while country music star Vince Gill was the featured artist with the Pops, it was Dr. David King who drew the night's biggest applause. After running the Boston Marathon himself, King tended to patients injured in the Marathon bombings. The Pops let King conduct "The Stars and Stripes Forever," the night's final encore, and his spirited direction of the orchestra drew the audience to its feet before the song was over.
The opening of the Pops' season was a comforting ritual following the Marathon tragedy, and the concert for the most part aimed for normalcy, with the Pops and Gill simply doing their jobs that are uplifting by nature.

I am looking for using a javascript library to show images as a photo gallery. Is there a good framework for PlayBook?
I've looked at Galleria, http://galleria.io/, and tested it on PlayBook's browser. It's not always responsive to a swipe.
Is there any other tested alternative?
Hi Tony,
There are a lot of libraries out there for photo galleries, the majority of them seem to be jQuery based.
Flux Slider is a pretty cool one, http://www.joelambert.co.uk/flux/
Thanks, chadtatro. This one's effects do look good and work smoothly on a PlayBook.
I am also looking for a framework which provides controls for moving between photos, generating thumnails...etc. On the other hand, maybe it's not too difficult to code them ourselves directly. But it's always good to try out more existing stuffs.
Thank you.
I started a search for this for a while without any good results. Most plugins for JQuery resize on client side on-the-fly and this drives me in hard performance issues. My conclusion was to resize the images with a canvas object and save the thumbnail in local storage (base64). I am just to the beginning because it's not the focused issue in my app, but I can provide you my sample application (for Playbook).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitiona
l.dtd">   <title></title>
 <input type="button" value="Thumbnail" onclick="createThumbnail();" />
 <canvas id="MyCanvas"> </canvas>
 <input type="text" id="MyBase64Thumbnail" />
 <input type="button" value="Show Data URL" onclick="showDataUrl();" />
 <input id="MyNewImage" type="image" />
Thanks, Levion. That's a good demo to show how to generate a thumbnail and save it as well.
I am also looking for sample implementations which you can swipe to move the next slide. It's rather easy to capture the touch events but making the image slides while your finger move with inertia is not trivial.
My base framework is JQuery Mobile so I would search for an embedded solution. There is a library called photoswipe. To combine it you could show in overview the minimized thumbnails from local storage and the original version after clicking.

We've blogged before about how incredible and important the Ross Sea is, but you really have to see it to believe it. And now you can!
The Last Ocean film is a documentary directed by Peter Young, one of the country's leading nature cameramen and a key figure in the international movement to protect the Ross Sea.
It played at the NZ film festival throughout the country to critical acclaim. And is now showing in general release. Here's the official trailer:
The Last Ocean film tells the story of people around the world as they race to protect Earth's last untouched ocean.And before you go, send a message to the NZ Government now asking for comprehensive protection for the Ross Sea.

New Zealand and Greenpeace both have a proud history in Antarctica.With a mixture of public pressure and relentless campaigning, and thanks to some visionary political leadership, Greenpeace helped keep the oil and mining companies out of Antarctica.And for decades, as its closest neighbour, New Zealand has acted as gatekeeper and guardian of the Ross Sea region.To this day the continent remains a World Park under the protection of a fifty year moratorium on oil and mineral exploitation.But, the rich and extraordinary oceans of the region are not protected.If you sail south from New Zealand and go as far as you can before hitting Antarctica, you'll find yourself in a spectacular icy wonderland, that is crowded with life.

We've teamed up with Radiohead and actor Jude Law to make a fantastic video to Save the Arctic.
Take a minute to watch it yourself and then spread the message by sharing it with your friends and family.
Oil companies are using melting sea ice to drill for more of the oil that is causing global warming in the first place. Shell's Arctic fleet will be arriving any day now to begin exploratory drilling off the coast of Alaska this summer.
Commenting on the film, Jude Law said:
"As the Arctic sea ice melts, polar bears are being forced to go far beyond their normal habitat to find food and look after their young. This film is a powerful expression of how our fates are intertwined, because climate change is affecting all of us no matter where we live.

The Arctic holds a special significance for Greenpeace. The campaign that gave birth to our movement over 40 years ago stopped nuclear testing in Alaska.Many people thought a nuclear test in Alaska wouldn't affect them. But if you lived on Earth, it affected you.The radiation from those tests swirled around the world and entered your eyes - no matter where you were.Forensic pathologists can tell a victim's age by looking for radioactive carbon in the eyes. If you were born in the 60s or early 70s like me, you'll have more radioactive carbon. The level gradually decreases for people born after nuclear testing ceased.The founders of Greenpeace won their campaign and helped stop nuclear testing. But now things are happening in the Alaskan Arctic that could change a lot more than just the car... Read more >

The only inn at Olympia, the Leonidaion, was reserved for ambassadors and other officials. The Sacred Precinct of Zeus—a walled-off enclave of temples and shrines—was besieged on all sides by a vast campground, and rowdy throngs competed for space in it, in keeping with their station. Most simply flung bedding wherever they could. Others rented space in temporary shelters or put up tents. Plato himself once slept in a makeshift barracks, head to toe with snoring, drunken strangers.
Thousands of cooking fires created a fog of smoke. Crowd control was enforced by local officials with whips. And yet, as attendance figures suggest, none of these miseries could keep the dedicated sports fan away. The Games were sensationally popular, held without fail every four years from 776 b.c. until the Christian emperors banned pagan festivals in a.d. 394—a run of nearly 1,200 years. For the Greeks, it was considered a great misfortune to die without having been to Olympia. One Athenian baker boasted on his gravestone that he had attended the Games 12 times. "By heaven!" raved the holy man Apollonius of Tyana. "Nothing in the world of men is so agreeable or dear to the Gods."
What kept fans coming back, generation after generation? It was a question that the Athenian philosopher and sports buff Epictetus pondered in the first century. He concluded that the Olympics were a metaphor for human existence itself. Every day was filled with difficulties and tribulations: unbearable heat, pushy crowds, grime, noise and endless petty annoyances. "But of course you put up with it all," he said, "because it's an unforgettable spectacle."
And sports were only part of it. The Games were the ultimate pagan entertainment package, where every human diversion could be found, on and off the field. Each Olympiad was an expression of Hellenic unity, an all-consuming pageant for pagans as spiritually profound as a pilgrimage to Varanasi for Hindus or Mecca for Muslims. The site had grand procession routes, dozens of altars, public banquet halls, booths for sideshow artists.
For five hectic days and nights, Olympia was the undisputed capital of the world, where splendid religious rituals— including the butchering of 100 oxen for a public feast—competed with athletic events. There were sacred sights to see: the sanctuary of Olympia was an open-air museum, and visitors went from temple to temple viewing such masterpieces as the 40-foot-high statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
And then there were earthly pursuits: the squalid tent-city was the scene of a round-the-clock bacchanal where students could squander their inheritances in lavish symposia (drinking parties) and some prostitutes made a year's wages in five days. There were beauty contests, Homer-reading competitions, eating races. Masseurs offered rubdowns to the weary. Young boys in makeup performed erotic dances. There were palm readers and astrologers, soapbox orators and fire-eaters. A starry-eyed pilgrim might be excused for forgetting about the athletic contests—were they not themselves so theatrical.
Of the 18 core events in the Olympics program, some are familiar today—running, wrestling, boxing, javelin, discus. Others are less so. The Games began with a chariot race—a deliriously violent affair, where up to 40 vehicles crowded the track and crashes were guaranteed. Often, only a handful of chariots would complete the course. The hoplitodromia was a 400-yard sprint in full armor. The long jump was performed with weights, to the accompaniment of flute music. One of the favorite audience events was the pankration, a savage all-out brawl, where eye gouging was the only banned tactic. The more brutish participants would snap opponents' fingers, or tear out their intestines; the judges (one coach noted) "approve of strangling." There were no team sports, no ball sports, no swimming events, no marathon and nothing resembling an Olympic torch. (The marathon was introduced in 1896 and the torch was added at Hitler's 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.)
All the vices of our modern Games were present at their birth. Despite the Sacred Olympic Truce, which supposedly banned all wars that might mar the success of the event, the ancient Games were often caught up in Greek internal politics. (The Spartans were banned from attending in 424 b.c. during the Peloponnesian War.) A military force from Elis once even attacked Olympia itself, in the middle of a wrestling match, forcing defenders into positions on tops of temples.
Corruption charges would regularly disgrace contenders. As early as 388 b.c., a certain Eupolus of Thessaly bribed three boxers to throw their fights against him. Not even judges were above suspicion. In a.d. 67, they accepted hefty bribes from the Roman emperor Nero, awarding him first prize in the chariot race—notwithstanding that he fell out of his vehicle and failed to complete the course.
In fact, money permeated every aspect of ancient athletics. The contestants, professionals all, lived on stipends from civic bodies and private patrons and traveled in troupes from one sporting event to the next, picking up cash prizes as they went. (Tellingly, the ancient Greeks did not even have a word for amateur; the closest was idiotes, meaning an unskilled person, as well as an ignoramus.) If an olive wreath was the official Olympic prize, champions knew that the real rewards were more consequential: they would be treated like demigods and guaranteed "sweet smooth sailing," as the poet Pindar put it, for the rest of their natural lives.

my roommate has one and has had it for at least 5 years now. Pretty reliable cars from his experience (although ironically his alternator just started going on the fritz this week). I took one out for a track day when they first came out in ?99? (lincoln sponsored event). They definitely handle well and are more nimble than they look, but the weight distribution (51/49% IIRC) is fantastic with very neutrally balanced steering.

MCHS dance team wins a national title
By GEOFF STOUTE
The Morgan City Lady Tigers won a national championship in the high kick division at the American All-Stars National Championships at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., in February while also placing in several other competitions.
Morgan City's high kick championship came among schools in Division 1, which includes anyone with 15 members or below, as well as Division 2, those with 16 or more members. Morgan City's squad had 14 members.
Morgan City Fancy Dancers' sponsor Courtney Price Matherne said that while the high kick was a smaller competition, it still is a big one in terms of prominence in winning a national champion.
"It's nice to have my girls see that hard work does pay off with some sort of award," Matherne said.
Matherne said this year's squad worked harder than some of her past squads.
She said that teams from various states as well as Mexico attended the event.
"There were quite a few from Louisiana," she said, adding that American All-Star is based in Louisiana.
Matherne noted that high-kick is a challenging and "exhausting" routine.
"To watch them perform it at Orlando, it was just beautiful," Matherne said of the routine, which lasted 2½ minutes and included, among the team members combined, at least 50 kicks above the waist.
By winning the National Championship in high kick, it also meant the squad won the Division 1 title in the event.
Morgan City also recorded a third-place finish in Division 1 pompom, a third-place finish in high school officer division and a fourth-place finish in hip hop.
The Morgan City dancers in the high school officer division included Carley Gowan, Brittany Landry, Destiny Scully and Taylor Blanco.
Matherne noted her squad had to compete against schools whose team members have had private lessons since an early age, while her students, except for some lessons maybe when they were younger, mainly learn when they get to high school.
Matherne said she had a good group of seniors on this year's squad.
"To watch them lead their team through positive encouragement and work ethic was just a positive moment for me, to see them after four years of work get to that level," she said.
The squad's seniors included Blanco (squad leader), Landry (co-captain), Gowan (captain), Scully (squad leader), Patricia Williams and Maggie Landry.
"They're going to be hard to replace, not just on the dance level on but on the leadership level, but I think the junior class is ready to step up, so I'm excited to see what they can do," Matherne said.
Juniors on this year's squad included Nicole Perri, Deja Brown and Courtney Reynaud, while sophomores were Erinique Wilson, Jamie Scioneaux and OzZaney Jones.
Freshmen were Ta'Nyre and Cassie Giroir.
All of the underclassmen will be returning with the addition of six newcomers to next year's squad, Matherne said.

At this point in the Oscar race, post-nomination announcement and post-guild awards, the dust starts to settle. We've heard from the critics groups and seen live shows like the Broadcast Film Critics Association's Critics Choice Awards. Now, it starts to get boring.
Boring isn't something most of the people concerned with Oscar are used to. Oscar-watching is a passionate pastime for many movie fans, especially with the rise of blogs like AwardsDaily and InContention, as well as the mainstream press response like Variety's Awards Central and the New York Times's Carpetbagger blog. Since as early as last March, we've been wondering who will win, making wild predictions that looked silly in December. And all that anticipation makes the next month hard for any seasoned Oscar-watcher. Nothing much happens until the show.
News this week of a nominated original song's ("Falling Slowly" from Once) questionable eligibility spread like wildfire across the many Oscar-centric blogs and websites. It was a minor kerfuffle, most likely started by fellow original song nominee Alan Menken (Enchanted), who hasn't won an Oscar since 1995. (Just kidding. I love you, Mr. Menken.) Yet, it was hot news in the cold, dead month between the nominations and the awards.
The tougher part will be awards night, when it looks like everything from the critics awards to the guilds have lined up behind unstoppable frontrunners. Not since 2002, when The Pianist unexpectedly took Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Director, has there really been a surprise contender who swooped in for a win at the last minute. Everyone kind of expected Crash to win Best Picture over Brokeback Mountain, just like everyone kind of suspected Alan Arkin would snag an Oscar last year for Little Miss Sunshine over frontrunner Eddie Murphy.
This year No Country for Old Men looks unbeatable in the Best Picture race, as do its directors, Ethan and Joel Coen, in the Best Director race. Daniel Day-Lewis is rolling to a Best Actor trophy for There Will Be Blood and legend Julie Christie (Away From Her) hasn't hit any roadblock on her way to an inevitable Best Actress trophy. Javier Bardem is locked in for Best Supporting actor, and though any of the five nominees could win Best Supporting Actress, only a win for Atonement star Saoirse Ronan would have me falling out of my chair in complete shock.
Same as last year. Same as the year before. Expect the expected.
But for Academy members who may stumble on this page, I have three suggestions that can make awards night a little more interesting.
1. A Michael Clayton sweep. Isn't No Country for Old Men winning everything getting old? And are you really going to give an Oscar to a film that has a hoity-toity critics following like There Will Be Blood? Clayton is the great, socially conscious film you always wanted to give Best Picture to, but have never found the time to honor. While we're at it, give the entire cast their due by giving each of the Clayton acting nominees (George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, and Tom Wilkinson) awards, too. There's always Best Director for No Country for Old Men.
2. A wild Best Original Screenplay pick. Now, I know the old people voting aren't really down for giving Juno screenwriter and former stripper Diablo Cody the Oscar. Most of you are thinking, "Okay, I'll vote for Michael Clayton." Well, my friends, consider the shock on people's faces when you give Tamara Jenkins the Oscar for The Savages screenplay. (And the millions of people watching will all exclaim, "What the hell is The Savages?") What about the delight in awarding the year's most under-appreciated film Ratatouille with a major award? Or you can give the Oscar to Lars and the Real Girl's Nancy Oliver for successfully writing a human-sized sex doll story that a grandmother can watch with her grandchildren. Just let's everyone agree on one.
3. Four words: Best Actress Ellen Page. Even the most hopeful person isn't really expecting Page to take the Oscar for her magnificent work in Juno. If Christie doesn't win, most are kind of expecting Marion Cotillard to take the trophy for La Vie En Rose. Send a shout out to Gen-X and the Millenials by giving Page the Oscar. You might as well, they are probably going to pick your next president (cough…Obama…cough).
Of course, the most interesting thing you can do is try and put on an awards show during a writers strike. When none of the actors show up, please consider me as a possible seat filler. I imagine you are going to need thousands of those. And don't worry, I'll pay for my own plane ticket.
The 80th Annual Academy Awards air February 24 at 8 p.m. on ABC.Powered by Sidelines

Flexible Funding Continues to Play a Role in Supporting State and Local Transportation Priorities
GAO-13-19R: Published: Nov 15, 2012. Publicly Released: Nov 15, 2012.

What GAO Found
From 2007 to 2011, FHWA apportioned about $53 billion in flexible funding to states, which is about 29 percent of total federal-aid highway funding apportioned to the states during that time. States transferred about $5 billion, or 10 percent of their apportioned flexible funding, to FTA for transit projects. Four states--California, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia--accounted for the majority of flexible funding transferred to FTA for transit projects. The portion of flexible funding transferred and the impact of the transferred funding on the total transit funding available in the states varied considerably. For example, while four states transferred more than 25 percent of their apportioned flexible funding to FTA for transit projects from 2007 to 2011, 16 states transferred less than 2 percent of their apportioned flexible funding over this period. In addition, transferred flexible funding accounted for over 50 percent of the available federal transit funding in Vermont compared to New York, where flexible funding accounted for about 5 percent of the total federal transit funding available to the state. Urbanized areas over 1 million in population received most (more than 75 percent) of the transferred flexible funding.
Officials from our selected states and urbanized areas told us that they based their decisions on whether to use flexible funding for transit projects on state and local priorities, available funding sources, and state and local policies. In particular, the decision to use flexible funding for transit projects stems from state and metropolitan planning processes that identify priority transportation projects. Additionally, the availability of other funding sources for transit projects and state and local policies, such as those setting aside flexible funding for transit projects, affect these decisions. State and local officials told us that although flexible funding generally has not made up a large portion of overall transit funding provided to a region, the funds have had a large impact on the ability of these selected states and localities to meet their transportation needs. Agency officials also told us that they appreciate the flexibility in how these funds can be used. Officials in the states and urbanized areas told us that although flexible funding transferred to transit resulted in fewer dollars for highways, the overall impact on their ability to implement highway projects is not significant.
Why GAO Did This Study
The nation's surface transportation system is critical to the economy and affects the daily life of most Americans. However, the system is under growing strain, and the cost to repair and upgrade the system to safely and reliably meet current and future demands is estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars. State and local governments must maintain existing systems while making efficient use of transportation dollars at a time when revenues to support the Highway Trust Fund--the major source of federal highway and transit funding--are eroding. For this and other reasons, funding surface transportation remains on GAO's High-Risk List.
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) introduced several Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) programs that provided states and urbanized areas introduced several Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) programs that provided states and urbanized areas flexibility in selecting projects to be funded with federal-aid highway funds. As federal dollars are often tied to a single mode of transportation, these programs are distinctive in the flexibility they grant to states and urbanized areas to implement a wide variety of transportation projects. In particular, states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) may use FHWA's Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) funds, which we refer to as flexible funding throughout this report, for transit projects. Subsequent reauthorization acts--including the most recent surface transportation reauthorization, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)--have continued to provide this flexibility.
In 2007, we reported on trends in flexible-funding use since the enactment of ISTEA (1992 to 2006). This flexibility also extended to certain Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Urbanized Area Formula Program funds prior to the enactment of MAP-21. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 required us to review how states have used their authority to transfer federal funding between highway and transit programs. To respond to that mandate, this report examines the extent to which states have transferred flexible funding between highway and transit programs since 2007 and the factors that affected the decisions of selected states and urbanized areas to transfer flexible funding and the outcomes of those decisions. Similarities and differences to the previous flexible-funding report are noted, as appropriate.
