"We want to recover the dignity of the country", said the self-styled leader of the commission, Lieutenant Manuel Quintas de Almeida. He said he was referring to the dire economic and social conditions in the former Portuguese colony, which lies 125 miles off the coast of Gabon.
Inflation is running at 40 per cent and the foreign debt of the impoverished country of 130,000 people, who depend on agriculture and tourism, is about $260m (pounds 160m). Unemployment is 38 per cent.
Asked if his group planned to stay in power, Lt Quintas de Almeida said: "Now we have time to think and then decide." But he said that Mr Trovoada, seized with the Defence Minister, Alberto Paulino, and detained at a military barracks in the capital, would not return to power.
Young officers also arrested the Prime Minister, Carlos Graca. Soldiers later accompanied him to Sao Tome, where he was held under house arrest.
Mr Graca, contacted by a Portuguese radio station, said: "I went to a summer party in Principe. Then the military came this morning and very gently brought me here."
Lt Quintas de Almeida said a new government would include both military and civilians and that no one had been hurt in the coup.
The rebel soldiers said that they would "try to impose the order and discipline that this country never had".

text: For a show like ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' that's [[LongRunners been around for a while]] and has gone through many changes (some good, some bad), your gauge of Awesome really depends on what era you watched and/or loved.----* Probably the most awesome thing about ''SNL'' is the fact that the show has been on the air for nearly 40 years, survived many things that would have taken down lesser shows (ExecutiveMeddling, SeasonalRot, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks cast and crew changes]], [[WhoWritesThisCrap weak writing]], controversial moments, criticism over racial and gender equality in the cast, and fair-weather fans who will drop the show the minute it does something that misfires), and, for better or worse, is considered great entertainment, and has adapted to this current era, where people are finding their sketch show fix online and on cable rather than on free-to-air TV. On an E! special about the show's history, LorneMichaels has stated that the show has lasted for as long as it has because it reinvents itself with talented cast members and writers.* Will Ferrell's character pretends to have a Vietnam flashback and ends up singing (and maraca-ing) the entirety of ''Goodnight Saigon''. Violinists come in from nowhere, Green Day casually steps into the background, and by the end of the sketch Ferrell's accompanied about fifty other people (celebrities, the whole cast [at the time], previous cast members, famous hosts, one of which was Artie Lange from the original cast of ''Series/{{MADtv}}'', which had reached the last episode at the time of the season 34 finale of ''SNL'') singing with perfectly straight faces and doing various ridiculous things like playing along on unplugged ''VideoGame/GuitarHero'' controllers. There's the sense that everyone turned out because Ferrell's a legend — they all walk offstage at the end one by one as the song tapers off. It's so overdramatic that it breaks the walls of Narmy and Silly entirely and loops back around to Epic. It's already listed on the main page as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, but this is also what a Moment of Awesome looks like.* One famous episode had Music/{{Aerosmith}} joining in on the ''WaynesWorld'' sketch along with guest host Creator/TomHanks.** Speaking of Creator/TomHanks, his showing up during a Celebrity Jeopardy skit, playing an utterly moronic version of himself, prompting Trebek (Will Ferrell) to sadly comment, "I had such high hopes for you"* September 29, 2001: The first live show after the 9/11 attacks, with host Creator/ReeseWitherspoon and musical guest Music/AliciaKeys. After honestly paying tribute to the rescue people by bringing them on stage, Lorne Michaels talks with then-Mayor Rudy Guiliani. The following exchange may not seem like much now, but really went far in breaking the unease over the "Is it TooSoon to relax a little while still remaining respectful for the lives lost?" feeling everyone was going through:-->'''Lorne Michaels''': Can we be funny?-->'''Mayor Guiliani''': Why start now?[[note]]Though that can also be taken as a burn against the commonly-held belief that ''SNL'' either never was funny or it used to be funny, but it fell off years ago and is only around as lat-night filler, but given the context the quote was in, it was more of a rallying call for America to try and regroup after 9/11, but remember the lives lost and the people who tried to help that fateful day[[/note]]** What really makes this awesome is how Giuliani says the opening catchphrase: "Live, from '''''New York''''', it's Saturday Night!".* Elvis Costello returning to the show after being banned following his gig on the Christmas 1977 show (hosted by an old woman named Miskel Spillman, who won a contest where viewers got to pick an average person to host an ''SNL'' episode) where he played "Radio Radio" (which, at the time, was rejected for being anti-media). His return, taking place on the show's 25th Anniversary special, consisted of sabotaging the Beastie Boys' performance of "Sabotage" before they all played a rendition of Costello's "Radio Radio".* In one of Buck Henry's episodes, John Belushi accidentally cut his forehead with his very real samurai sword towards the end of the "Samurai Stockbroker" sketch. After the commercial break, Henry appeared with a bandage over the cut. The show lampshaded the incident by having all the other cast members wear identical bandages on the same spot for the remainder of the show, as well as writing up a quick "newsstory" for Weekend Update: "Buck Henry was attacked with a sword by a coked-out John Belushi on a late-night comedy sketch show."* This exchange by Creator/ChrisFarley and Music/PaulMcCartney:-->'''Chris Farley''': Uh...remember when you were in Music/TheBeatles? And, um, you did that album Abbey Road, and at the very end of the song, it would...the song goes "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"? You...you remember that?-->'''Paul [=McCartney=]''': Yes.-->'''Chris''': Uh...is that true?-->'''Paul''': Yes, Chris. In my experience, it is. I find, the more you give, the more you get.-->'''Chris''' (''ecstatic, starts to point at Paul and mouth "AWESOME!"''): Well, that's it for this week's show...* September 28, 1991. The Reverend Jesse Jackson (appearing as himself, as opposed to being impersonated by a cast member) reads "Green Eggs and Ham" in honor of Dr. Seuss, who had just passed away. He did it in the speaking manner he would have used were he speaking about racial injustice, or delivering a sermon.* Betty White hosting the Mother's Day episode in 2010 all thanks to a Facebook campaign. It's considered one of the best current episodes of the series.** And the cast tribute to her with them singing the theme song to ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''... which starts as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, before very suddenly [[MoodWhiplash whiplashing into]] a ''thrash metal'' cover of the same song, which featured cast members getting attacked by the mosh pit and Jason Sudeikis [[PassThePopcorn recording the chaos on his iPhone]].** They also brought in an AllStarCast of SNL's best female cast members, including Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer.* The Ed Helms/Paul Simon episode -- home to, not only the brief return of the TV Funhouse cartoon segments, but to the live-action version of ''The AmbiguouslyGay Duo'' (featuring JonHamm as Ace, Creator/JimmyFallon as Gary, Steve Carrell as Big Head, Stephen Colbert as Dr. Brainio, Ed Helms [the episode host] as a Two-Face-esque villain, and Fred Armisen as a lizard man). Also a NegatedMomentOfAwesome, as Robert Smigel confessed during an interview with AV Club in 2010 that this was supposed to be one of many feature films based on a recurring character from ''SNL''.* From the May 14, 2005 show hosted by Will Ferrell, Queens of the Stone Age performing "Little Sister" with backup from Gene Frenkle, Will Ferrell's character from the legendary Cowbell skit.* Colin Quinn's opening speech from his first time hosting Weekend Update After Norm [=MacDonald=] was fired, comparing himself to a new bartender who was hired in place of an old favorite who was recently terminated.* Horatio Sanz' tribute to Mr. Rogers after he passed away. It doubles as a {{Tearjerker}} and SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} as well.* The musical performance from December 1998. Vanessa Williams, Luciano Pavorotti, and the Harlem Boys Choir delivering a GLORIOUS rendition of "O, Come, All Ye Faithful", sung in Latin and English.* The hiring of Kenan Thompson, the first ''SNL'' cast member to be born after ''SNL'' premiered and the first one to have gotten his start on a kids' show (specifically, a Nickelodeon one).* In November of 2009, Creator/JosephGordonLevitt performed an homage to Donald O'Connor's performance in ''SinginInTheRain'', pulling off an energetic performance of "Make 'Em Laugh" -- complete with the two backflips off the walls.** Also, the second time he hosted, when he recreated the "It's Raining Men" sequence from the movie, ''MagicMike''.* The entire 1992 Presidential campaign, with Dana Carvey pulling double duty as both [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush Bush Senior]] and Ross Perot. The high water mark of political satire the show ever pulled off.* Big Bird's appearance on the Daniel Craig/Muse episode. Made more awesome by the fact that they didn't have to write anything dirty or outrageous for him to be funny; they just let him be his childlike self.* BrunoMars pulling off a decent ''SNL'' episode, despite the fact that he admitted in the monologue that he's never done comedy or acting of any kind.* Jimmy Fallon's musical performance at the beginning of his episode. The entire cast of ''SNL'' dancing stands out in particular.** Fallon admitting that his {{Corpsing}} ruined a lot of sketches. It's awesome because he admitted and embraced a fault that made a lot of people hate him when he was on the show.** From the same episode, the Weekend Update where Creator/AmyPoehler, Creator/TinaFey, JimmyFallon and Creator/SethMeyers all go against each other in the Joke-Off. Poehler's entrance in particular generated much applause.*** So much so that when Fey enters immediately after her, even though she can be seen mouthing phrases like "It's on!", it's nearly impossible to hear her because the applause was so loud.** Really, Fallon's performance all throughout the episode can be considered its own Moment of Awesome. After so many years of people deriding him for his {{Corpsing}}, he ended up returning to participate in one of Season 37's most-acclaimed episodes. In his A.V. Club review, David Sims comments that Fallon's infectious energy that annoyed people during his tenure on the show actually served him well as a host, as it helped to spread an atmosphere of fun and excitement. It's as though Fallon's hosting allowed him to come full circle with SNL, especially when one recalls the CallForward Alec Baldwin made in 1998 (he accurately predicted (as a joke) that Fallon would host the Christmas episode of 2011). To cap it all off? Fallon won an Emmy for "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series" in 2012 thanks to the episode.* Season 38's season finale has one in saying goodbye to Stefon, Bill Hader's burnt-out ClubKid character and Weekend Update's city correspondent (and, by extension, Bill Hader, as he announced earlier in the week that season 38 was his last season on the show). In it, he grows tired of Seth Meyers' dismissive attitude toward his club recommendations and announces that he's getting married to "someone who loves him for him". Seth, realizing that he truly loves Stefon, sprints to the church where the wedding is taking place (a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheGraduate''), and calls out Stefon's name. At this point, we see that Stefon's fiance is Anderson Cooper (who gets hit in the face like he did in the Digital Short where Andy Samberg and Pee-Wee Herman have a drunken night out) and that [[ContinuityNod all of Stefon's guests are the weirdos and freaks he mentioned in the past]]. Seth and Stefon proceed to escape from the wedding, with Ben Affleck (that night's host, and [[CallBack who previously hosted the first episode Stefon ever appeared in]], playing his brother) seen in the crowd cheering Hader's character on to "follow his heart". It ends with Seth and Stefon returning before the Weekend Update audience to massive cheers, embracing as Seth signs them off, while [[ContinuityPorn several recurring characters from the last few years]] (like Bobby Moynihan's [[DrunkenSong Drunk Uncle]], Kenan Thompson's [[GratuitousFrench Jean K. Jean]], Fred Armisen as [[BlindIdiotTranslation David Paterson]], Cecily Strong's [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Girl You Wish You Hadn't Talked To At a Party]], and Jason Sudeikis' [[SatanIsGood Devil]]) shower them with rice. Truly a fine farewell to Bill Hader and his most iconic character.* Steve Martin sings "King Tut". In fact, [[http://snltranscripts.jt.org/77/77r.phtml that episode]] - which had the Blues Brothers performing as musical guest, Martin wordlessly dancing ''terribly'' with Gilda Radner, and classic appearances of Theodoric of York and the Wild And Crazy Guys - was considered and probably still is one of the best nights the show ever produced.* "Lazy Sunday". The day after it aired, it ''blew up'' the Internet, made YouTube ''the'' must-visit video site (before NBC made their deal with Hulu) with thousands scurrying to watch what everyone else was hailing as "awesome," got ''SNL'' out of the slump it was in from 2002 (when Creator/WillFerrell and Ana Gasteyer left) to late 2005 (when Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, and Kristen Wiig were brought in and when Jason Sudeikis went from being a writer to being a cast member) and pushed Lorne Michaels to look to Internet-based sketch troupes and humor site owners and contributors for new talent along with finding talent at The Groundlings, Second City, Upright Citizens' Brigade, and the world of stand-up.* October 27, 1990: The "[[ChippendalesDancers Chippendales]] Auditions" sketch with Creator/PatrickSwayze and Creator/ChrisFarley was most likely Farley's WinTheCrowd moment on SNL.* The final Janet Reno Dance Party sketch, with the real Janet Reno making a surprise appearance. Janet Reno actually flew out on her last day in office to specifically appear in the bit. The best thing about the appearance, and the sketch as a whole, is that Janet Reno loved the entire sketch, as she said that it caused young people to approach her and ask her about it, giving her a brand new audience. * WilliamShatner's (in)famous "[[http://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86hgetalife.phtml Get a Life!]]" skit from his 1986 appearance.* A sketch from the Creator/JimCarrey-hosted episode in season 40 where Vanessa Bayer hosts a costume contest. Carrey and Kate [=McKinnon=] must settle their differences with a "Chandelier" dance-off, which extends right into the crowd. The audience goes wild as Carrey and [=McKinnon=] dance around the studio, past Lorne Michaels, Iggy Azalea (also dressed accordingly), and finally right back into the sketch.* Creator/MikeMyers returning as [[Film/AustinPowers Dr. Evil]] interrupting the ColdOpen (which was supposed to be "A Very Somber Christmas with Sam Smith"), so he could personally deliver TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to North Korea, The Sony Hackers and Sony for the fiasco surrounding the movie ''Film/TheInterview''. * The 40th Anniversary special. * Staging a 30 Rock reunion when Tracy Morgan hosted.* The ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' "lost ending" is this to anyone bitter over [[HateSink Mr. Potter]] being a KarmaHoudini in the original. Specifically, all the protagonists form a TorchesAndPitchforks mob and give him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to remember.* Kate [=McKinnon=] winning the 2016 Emmy award for "Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series". She is the first SNL cast member to win in the supporting category and only the fourth person to win an Emmy while still a series regular. The others were Chevy Chase (in 1976), Gilda Radner (in 1978), and Dana Carvey (in 1993), each of them having won in the now-retired "Best Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program" category. * The fact that they were able to dedicate nearly an entire sketch to Donald Trump's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_controversy Access Hollywood tape]] only a day after it occurred. Considering how much time goes into writing and rehearsing for a sketch before its performance, the execution of this last-minute addition is surprisingly well done.* The episode with Creator/LinManuelMiranda has a different take on the opening monologue by having Manuel-Miranda ''rap it'' to the music of a song from his master piece Hamilton, My Shot. * When the Cubs won the World Series, three of them (Anthony Rizzo, Dexter Fowler, and David Ross) and Bill Murray showed up on the Weekend Report and sang "Go, Cubs, Go!"* Dave Chappelle resurrecting several of his ''Series/ChappellesShow'' characters after 11 years to spoof Negan's big entrance scene in ''Series/TheWalkingDead''. And when [[spoiler:Tyrone Biggums is the one who gets beheaded, the head keeps taunting him and dodging his swings, before the body picks it up and we get a heartfelt plea to carry on in the wake of the 2016 election.]]** Chappelle's monologue in the same episode was itself awesome: it was his first time hosting the show and it was the first show after the 2016 election, and he took the opportunity to calm everyone down, without downplaying what had just happened, and reminding everyone that for some people, this was just confirmation of what they already suspected. --->'''Dave Chappelle''': "Blue Lives Matter." What, was you ''born'' a police? That is not a blue life. That's a blue ''suit''. You don't like it, take the suit off, find a new job. 'Cause I tell you, if I could quit being black today, I'd be out the game.* [[https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/797673802805018625 Kate Mckinnon's beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah]] is a heartwarming, tearjerking and awesome moment. She was dressed as Hilary Clinton while doing in, in light of Donald Trump being elected President of the United States which for a lot of people (including members of the LGBTQ community like Kate) is a moment of fear. -->'''Kate [=McKinnon=]:''' ''[[YouAreNotAlone I'm not giving up, and neither should you]].''* Creator/BryanCranston making an appearance as [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]], having just been appointed by Trump as the head of the DEA.* Creator/AzizAnsari becoming the first person of South Asian descent to host the show. Not to mention his [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Whde50AacZs&ebc=ANyPxKpeSdYJGkJPkVCBkpjN6luth8VEkaxmV7D1yIgeNLSqSgPYLdWuV13srlEV3EUmtMGlVziv opening monologue]], where he talks for nine minutes about the aftermath of Trump's inauguration, among other issues.* Anytime a non-actor (athlete, politician, musician) hosts the show and reveals themselves to be a pretty gifted comedic actor after all.* After the show got a lot of flack for letting Trump host in the middle of his presidential campaign, which is often accused of getting many people more accepting of it, after the election it's proven especially brutal in its parodies of him, to the point where it genuinely gets under his skin and he feels the need to insult the show almost every week.* Not quite Trump, exactly, but Creator/MelissaMcCarthy's surprise cameo as White House press secretary Sean Spicer, parodying his extremely combative relations with the press and his bordering on InsaneTrollLogic embracing of "alternative facts" in pursuit of the administration's agenda, was widely embraced as a particularly effective satire of the administration. And once again, it apparently got under Trump's skin to the point where several commentators [[http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/melissa-mccarthy-sean-spicer-234715 openly wondered about the chances of Spicer keeping his job]]. * The public ended up so impressed with the show during the Trump era that the show got its highest ratings in ''more than twenty years''.** The [[http://fortune.com/2017/02/12/saturday-night-live-ratings-alec-baldwin-donald-trump/ ratings for Alec Baldwin's hosting]] for 2/11/17 was ''higher'' than Trump's controversial hosting back in 11/7/15.* On the 2/11/17 airing, the show (through Kate [=McKinnon=] as Elizabeth Warren on Weekend Update), the show finally acknowledging that letting Trump host was a bad idea.----

Boudreaux BA, Rosenthal EL, Magnuson JS, Newman JR, Desmond RA, Clemons L, Carroll WR. Robot-Assisted Surgery for Upper Aerodigestive Tract Neoplasms. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2009;135(4):397-401. doi:10.1001/archoto.2009.24
© 2017
To assess the feasibility and safety of performing robot-assisted resections of head and neck tumors, and to predict which variables lead to successful robot-assisted resection and better functional outcome.
Prospective nonrandomized clinical trial.
Academic tertiary referral center.
Thirty-six patients with oral cavity, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, or laryngeal tumors.
Robot-assisted resection of indicated tumors.
Main Outcome Measures
Ability to perform robot-assisted resection, final pathologic margin status, ability to extubate postoperatively, need for tracheotomy tube, and need for gastrostomy tube. Any clinically significant complications were recorded.
Thirty-six patients participated in the study. Eight patients had previously been treated for head and neck cancer. Twenty-nine patients (81%) underwent successful robotic resection. Negative margins were obtained in all 29 patients. Twenty-one of 29 patients were safely extubated prior to leaving the operating room. One patient required short-term tracheotomy tube placement. A total of 9 patients were gastrostomy tube dependent (2 preoperatively, 7 postoperatively). Factors associated with successful robotic resection were lower T classification (P = .01) and edentulism (P = .07). Factors associated with gastrostomy tube dependence were advanced age (P = .02), tumor location in the larynx (P < .001), higher T classification (P = .02), and lower preoperative M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory score (P = .04).
Robot-assisted surgery is feasible and safe for the resection of select head and neck tumors. This clinical series demonstrates that robotic surgery can be utilized successfully in patients with T1 to T4 lesions located in the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx with good preservation of swallow function.
Trial Registration
clinicaltrials.gov Identifier:NCT00473564
Minimally invasive surgery has gained popularity in multiple different specialties as a means to reduce patient morbidity and mortality. The surgical robot provides 3-dimensional visualization and technical advantages allowing procedures to be performed through a minimally invasive route. Since the introduction of the surgical robot in 1999, robot-assisted cardiac, gynecologic, and urologic procedures have become widely accepted throughout the country. In 2007, approximately 60% of all radical prostatectomies in the United States were performed with robot assistance.1 Robotic cardiac and urological procedures may result in less blood loss and fewer complications than standard open approaches.2,3 Use of the robot in cardiac surgery has also had a favorable impact on operative time, intensive care unit stays, and overall inpatient care days compared with open procedures.4
Excision of upper aerodigestive tract tumors commonly requires a transcervical approach including mandibulotomy and lip-splitting incision and may result in poor cosmesis and dysfunctional speech and swallowing.5- 7 Preclinical experimental studies using canine and cadaver models demonstrated the technical feasibility of transoral application of the robot.8,9 Subsequent trials in patients have demonstrated both the feasibility and the safety of robot-assisted resection of upper aerodigestive tract neoplasms.10- 12 Robotic surgery in the head and neck offers the possibility of limited surgical morbidity, reduced hospital stay, and improved lesion visualization over open approaches and traditional transoral techniques.
Previous publications, largely originating from a single institution, have documented the feasibility of using the surgical robot in the head and neck, although overall numbers remain small.10- 12 We assessed the utility of robot-assisted surgery for the excision of upper aerodigestive tract neoplasms and began to characterize patient and clinical predictors of successful robotic resection and functional outcome.
A prospective, nonrandomized study of consecutive patients presenting with upper aerodigestive tract neoplasms from March 2007 through May 2008 was performed at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Institutional review board approval was obtained to perform a clinical trial using the da Vinci Robot (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, California) for the resection of head and neck tumors. Inclusion criteria included lesions of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx requiring surgical resection, biopsy, or invasive treatment. Prior to surgery, an in-depth discussion took place with each patient to ascertain preferences for treatment in the event that robotic resection was not successful. Options available to the patients were not limited or compromised by the initial attempt at robotic resection. Tumors invading bone and those predicted to produce a through-and-through defect requiring free-tissue transfer were excluded. Patients unable to provide informed consent and those with poor mouth opening (defined as a maximal opening of <1.5 cm) were also excluded. Patients with oral cavity lesions were included only in the early aspects of the study as the surgeons gained experience with the setup and use of the robot. Later in the study, unless there was accompanying oropharyngeal extension, patients with oral cavity cancers were no longer enrolled because robotic assistance is not usually required to adequately resect these lesions. All patients in this series had biopsy-proven cancer and were evaluated preoperatively by the attending physician with flexible laryngoscopy and computed tomographic (CT) or positron emission tomographic/CT imaging.
The operating room was arranged with the head of the bed rotated 180° from anesthesia, the surgeon's console approximately 8 feet from the head of bed, and the manipulator unit near the patient's left hip. Exposure was obtained using either the FK retractor, the Crowe Davis retractor, or an Andrews tongue blade and cheek retractor. Resection was performed with robotic assistance in all patients when technically feasible. When technically not feasible, resection was performed by a standard open or endoscopic approach, or the patient was awoken and treated with primary chemoradiation according to predetermined patient preferences. Neck dissection was performed either at the same operation or in a staged operation. Patients were monitored through their hospital stay and up to 3 months postoperatively.
Recorded demographic and clinical data included patient age, sex, tumor site, tumor stage, and any previous head and neck cancer treatment. Recorded operative data included adequacy of exposure, ability to perform robotic resection, robotic operative time, blood loss, intraoperative complications, ability to obtain negative margins, and ability to extubate postoperatively. Postoperative data included length of hospital stay, the date oral nutrition started, diet at discharge, and any postoperative complications.
The primary outcome measure was successful robotic resection, defined as complete resection with negative margins utilizing the surgical robot. Secondary outcomes included surgical complications, tracheotomy or gastrostomy tube dependence, and subjective swallowing function. The M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) was used to assess dysphagia-specific quality of life. This 20-item questionnaire was given to patients preoperatively and at their first postoperative follow-up appointment. The MDADI was scored according to Chen et al13 with a range of 0 (extremely low functioning) to 100 (high functioning).
Descriptive variables were assessed as means (SDs) and categorical variables as percentages. Factors were compared across the outcome groups by t test for continuous variables and Fisher exact test or χ2 test for categorical variables. P <.05 was deemed statistically significant. The relationship between baseline and postoperative MDADI scores was assessed by the paired t test. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software Inc, San Diego, California) or SAS statistical software (version 9.1; SAS Inc, Cary, North Carolina).
A total of 36 patients were identified as candidates for this study from March 2007 through May 2008. Demographic data and tumor characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Although most patients had previously untreated lesions, 8 patients had a history of head and neck cancer treatment (Table 2).
Successful transoral resection using the robot was achieved in 29 patients (81%). One patient could not undergo robotic resection secondary to technical difficulties with the robotic system on the day of operation. Of the 6 patients who underwent unsuccessful procedures, 2 had inadequate exposure (T2, vallecula; T4, base of tongue), and both opted for primary chemoradiation. Early in the series, 1 patient had adequate exposure of the surgical site (T2, epiglottis), but the positioning of robotic arms was inadequate, and carbon dioxide laser resection was performed instead. Two patients had lesions so infiltrative into surrounding structures that the functional benefits of robotic operation would have been lost by necessity for free-flap reconstruction (T2, tonsil; T4, base of tongue). Both of these patients also chose primary chemoradiation. One patient had tumor invasion into the mandible, and the procedure was converted to an open operation (T4, anterior floor of mouth). Patients with unsuccessful resections tended to have higher T stage (P = .01), were more likely to have undergone procedures during the early months of the study (P = .37), and were more likely to be dentate (P = .07) (Table 3).
The mean (SD) robotic operative time was 99 (32.6) minutes as recorded in the anesthesia record. Eleven patients (2 with oral cavity lesions, 9 with oropharyngeal lesions) who had robotic resection underwent simultaneous selective neck dissection, whereas 6 patients (5 with oropharyngeal lesions, 1 with laryngeal lesions) underwent selective neck dissection performed at a staged operation. No orocervical fistula resulted from concomitant neck dissection.
Blood loss for robotic resection ranged from 2 to 150 mL (mean [SD], 51 [42] mL). No patient required a transfusion. Adequate hemostasis was achieved intraoperatively in all patients transorally. Two patients had postoperative bleeding. One patient had hemoptysis 3 weeks after surgical resection and required direct laryngoscopy with cautery. One patient who was prescribed coumadin experienced oropharyngeal bleeding several days postoperatively, which resolved with medical treatment.
Negative margins by frozen section and confirmed on permanent pathologic findings were obtained for all patients who underwent robotic resection.
Twenty-one of 29 patients (72%) were safely extubated prior to leaving the operating room. Seven patients required postoperative intubation (Table 4). Five of these 7 were left intubated in a planned manner (2 epiglottal lesions, 3 with base of tongue lesions). Two patients required emergent reintubation in the immediate postoperative period secondary to airway edema (1 with an epiglottal lesion, 1 with a lesion of posterior pharyngeal wall). Two of the 7 patients were extubated after 24 hours, and 5 were extubated after 48 hours. One patient underwent a planned tracheotomy (T2, tongue base tumor) and was decannulated prior to discharge.
The mean (SD) hospital stay for patients who underwent robot-assisted resection was 2.9 (2.9) days (range, 1-13 days). One patient with a 13-day hospital stay had a second primary lesion detected intraoperatively and opted to undergo a second surgery for resection and staged neck dissection performed during the same hospital stay.
Sixteen of the 29 patients (55%) who underwent robotic resection were tolerating oral nutrition prior to discharge. Oral nutrition was started on the day of surgery in 5 patients, on postoperative day 1 in 10 patients, and on postoperative day 2 in 1 patient. Thirteen patients required tube feeding for nutritional support at the time of discharge. Four patients required short-term nasal tube feeding and tolerated all nutrition orally 2 weeks postoperatively. Nine patients had more severe dysphagia and were gastrostomy tube dependent. Two of these patients were gastrostomy tube dependent prior to robotic resection owing to prior chemoradiation. Five patients underwent planned gastrostomy at the time of robotic resection, and 2 had gastrostomy tube placement several weeks postoperatively. Three patients who required gastrostomy tubes were tolerating oral nutrition with a functional swallow by 2 months after surgery, and 6 patients had prolonged dysphagia. Factors associated with gastrostomy tube dependence included higher T stage (P = .02), tumor location (P < .001), advanced age (P = .02), and lower preoperative MDADI score (P = .04) (Table 5).
The postoperative complications occurring within 30 days of robot-assisted resection included dehydration (n = 4), aspiration pneumonia (n = 1), delayed postoperative bleeding (n = 2), and airway edema requiring reintubation (n = 2). These complications were consistent with transoral excision by any method and were not considered to be directly related to the use of the surgical robot. The need for reintubation of 2 patients prompted a policy change of leaving most patients with tongue base and larynx cancer electively intubated for 24 to 48 hours.
Twenty-eight of 29 patients who underwent robotic resection of their head and neck neoplasm completed the MDADI. The mean (SD) score preoperatively was 77 (17) and at 2 to 4 weeks postoperatively was 61 (16) (P < .001).
This study further demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted resection of upper aerodigestive tract tumors. The surgical robot has several advantages over traditional endoscopic and open approaches, including 3-dimensional visualization, tremor filtration, and greater freedom of instrument movement. These advantages were appreciated in this study and offered good lesion visualization, short hospital stay, and good functional preservation. Traditional endoscopic approaches with an operating microscope and/or carbon dioxide laser are limited by smaller operative fields and line-of-sight manipulation. Following traditional open approaches requiring lip-splitting incision and mandibulotomy, patients are often left with considerable cosmetic deformity, malocclusion, and dysphagia.5- 7 Furthermore, open approaches often result in large contiguous defects requiring complex free-flap reconstruction resulting in prolonged hospital stays, prolonged dysphagia, and tracheotomy. This study, as well as other reports in the literature, demonstrates a mean hospital stay of approximately 3 days for patients undergoing robotic resection.11 Twenty of the 29 patients who underwent robotic resection in this study (69%) were tolerating all nutrition orally by 2 weeks after surgery. Only 1 patient in this study required tracheotomy and was decannulated prior to discharge. Other reports in the literature10- 12 have demonstrated the safety of delayed neck dissection performed at 1 to 3 weeks after surgery. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of concomitant neck dissection with robotic resection. Of the 11 patients in this study who underwent concomitant neck dissection, no orocervical fistula or increase in complication rate was seen, demonstrating that neck dissection at the same procedure is safe in selected patients.
The surgical robot was not designed for transoral use and does have several limitations. Introduction of the robotic arms into the oral cavity can be a challenge, and not all patients are currently candidates. However, with experience, the challenges of access can be overcome for many patients. A separate preoperative examination under anesthesia to assess robot feasibility helps eliminate candidates with poor access. Many patients in this series had previously undergone staging endoscopy in our institution by another physician, and the senior author (W.R.C.) felt unjustified in repeating this examination prior to robotic resection. Three patients in this study were unable to undergo robotic resection secondary to inadequate access. Contributing factors to this problem were narrow arched mandible, full dentition, retrognathia, trismus, and the learning curve associated with robotic surgery. Two patients (T2, posterior pharyngeal wall, and T2, epiglottis) in this study had clinically significant airway edema postoperatively requiring reintubation within 24 hours of their operation. Other studies have shown no increase in airway edema following robotic resection.10 However, Weinstein et al11 reported that 23% of patients remained intubated for a mean duration of 2.7 days following robotic radical tonsillectomy. Whether monopolar cautery causes more tissue injury and edema than carbon dioxide laser in the oropharynx and larynx is unclear.14- 16 Further studies are necessary to predict which patients can be safely extubated following robotic resection of their head and neck neoplasm.
No clinical guidelines have been established for robot-assisted resection of head and neck tumors. In this study, previous head and neck radiation did not preclude the ability to perform successful robotic resection. Edentulous patients had a higher percentage of successful robotic resection than dentate patients, likely secondary to easier exposure. A higher percentage of successful robotic resections were performed in the last 4 months of this series, demonstrating that robotic surgery is associated with a learning curve.
Several clinical variables were significantly associated with gastrostomy tube dependence, including age, T stage, tumor location, and preoperative MDADI score (see Table 5 for P values). The mean age of patients requiring gastrostomy tube feeding was 13 years older than patients not requiring gastrostomy tube placement. Tumors occurring in the larynx and those with higher T stage were also more frequently associated with gastrostomy tube dependence. Patients who were gastrostomy tube dependent also had lower preoperative MDADI scores.
To date, the number of reported robot-assisted resections of upper aerodigestive tract neoplasms remains limited.10- 12,17- 19 This study adds 29 successful robot-assisted resections of tumors located in the head and neck, further demonstrating that this technique is both technically feasible and safe. This study also begins to enumerate clinical guidelines of successful resection and swallow preservation. Further studies are necessary and are currently under way to test this technique in a larger number of patients over a longer period of time to assess both long-term functional and oncologic outcomes of robotic resection and to compare these results with traditional techniques.
This technology is already widely available. The da Vinci Surgical Robot is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in other surgical specialties and is now operational in more than 850 academic and community hospitals. This project assessed the feasibility of robot-assisted surgery to resect head and neck tumors. This study does not confirm oncologic or functional superiority to any standard method of treatment. Further studies are needed to define the indications, advantages, limitations, and outcomes of robotic surgery for head and neck applications.

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley might be at the start of his England career but is setting his sights on securing a place in England's World Cup squad.
The 19-year-old made his debut from the bench against Moldova in the World Cup qualifier at Wembley two weeks ago and has explained how England manager Roy Hodgson has given him the incentive of a place in the squad if he continues his form.
"I have set my sights on the World Cup," Barkley said in his first interview with national newspapers.
"It's a goal for me. It will be hard, but through hard work hopefully I can get on the flight there.
"He (Hodgson) told me to keep working hard and keep doing what I have been doing since the start of the season and if there comes a time that, because I am young, I'm on the bench, don't let your head go down.
"He believes in me. He has high hopes for me. He sees me being able to go to Brazil if I keep progressing as I have done since the start of the season."
However, Barkley, who joined Everton aged 11, has been advised to stay at Goodison Park for the development of his career by the captain of the club's biggest rivals - Steven Gerrard.
Barkley was sent out on loan to Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds while David Moyes was in charge at Everton, but he is now back in the fold and has secured a regular starting spot under new Toffees manager Roberto Martinez.
Barkley said: "He (Gerrard) told me I'm from Liverpool, a local lad playing for the team I support, and there is nothing better.
"He's done that throughout his career. He said playing is the main thing, going to another team and not playing would be no good for my development.
"I was a bit star-struck when I first joined up but Steven was good to me when I was away. I sat next to him on the coach and he gave me loads of advice.
"He said the big hitters are going to be looking at me but the main thing for me is to stay with the club I'm at, the team I support and love, which is Everton."

One view of the Patriots' top five need areas entering the 2012 NFL Draft:
1. Safety -- The team's top player at the position, Patrick Chung, has battled some injuries over the last two seasons and is entering the final year of his contract. Bill Belichick attempted to revamp the position last year, but in part because of injuries, it turned in to a revolving door of personnel that even included receiver Matthew Slater playing there. Steve Gregory was signed in free agency, and Devin McCourty could be part of the mix, but more help is likely to be targeted.
2. Defensive end in even front (4-man line) -- Andre Carter and Mark Anderson held down this spot and combined for 22.5 sacks (including the postseason). Carter is still recovering from quad surgery, while Anderson has signed with the Bills. Free-agent signee Trevor Scott has been added to the mix, but similar to Carter and Anderson, he comes to town on a short-term deal (1 year).
3. Defensive end in odd front (3-man line) -- Richard Seymour manned this spot from 2001-2008, and since that time, the Patriots have rolled through a number of different players (Jarvis Green, Mike Wright, Vince Wilfork among them). Free agent Jonathan Fanene could potentially be part of the answer, but he was a part-time player with the Bengals and it seems risky to count on him for a full-time role.
4. Kickoff returner -- The Patriots ranked 29th in the NFL in kickoff return average, which meant the offense was often called on to drive a longer field. Danny Woodhead (20 returns), Julian Edelman (12), Stevan Ridley (7) and Matthew Slater (4) were the returners. Perhaps the answer is indeed on the roster and it's a case of better design and blocking up front, but regardless, this is an area to target for improvement in some form.
5. Offensive line -- Even with Matt Light expected to officially retire, the Patriots are well stocked with a youthful look at tackle with Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer, Marcus Cannon and Matt Kopa. Vollmer's back injury, coupled with him entering the last year of his contract, makes tackle a spot the Patriots could address. Things trend a bit older atop the center/guard depth chart, and that's where developing a young prospect could also come into play.
JUST MISSING THE CUT: Receiver to develop ... Cornerback ... Sub linebacker.

Every day is a challenge for Aron Chase. One minute Chase was laughing, playing and hugging his children and fiancee. The next, he was planning their funeral.
FELLOWSHIP - Every day is a challenge for Aron Chase.
One minute Chase was laughing, playing and hugging his children and fiancee. The next, he was planning their funeral.
Some days are good. Some are not so good.
The 21-year-old says he survives each day by working, staying busy and putting one foot in front of the other.
"I know she would want me to be happy. It's mind-boggling and a challenge. It's one thing you'll never forget," Chase said Saturday morning sitting inside his parents' home.
Several hours after talking with the Star-Banner, about 70 family members and friends met at Fellowship Baptist Church, located off U.S. 27, for a public memorial tribute to 25-year-old Tabetha Belanger - Chase's fiancee - and her four sons, Hunter, 6, Nicholas, 4, Michael, 2, and Aron Jr., almost 3 months.
The five died when a fire engulfed their home at 11300 N.W. 20th St. in the early-morning hours of Nov. 21.
Marion County firefighters said the deaths were the most in a single-structure fire in 20 years.
Father of the two youngest boys, Chase was out hunting for food for the family the morning of the fire.
The mobile home, built nearly 40 years ago, did not have smoke detectors. The State Fire Marshal's office is investigating the cause of the blaze.
Since the tragedy, firefighters have distributed and installed 38 smoke detectors in 19 homes as of Friday. From Oct. 1 through Friday, 64 smoke detectors have been installed in 32 homes.
Before the service, the family held a quiet, private graveside ceremony with the burial of the five. Tabetha and her children were cremated.
While family and friends attended Saturday's half-hour service inside the church, Aron and his father, Michael Chase, were away. It was Aron's way of dealing with what has happened.
"I don't want a bunch of people bombarding me," Aron Chase said.
Roughly 10 minutes into Monday's private service held for Tabetha and the boys at another church, Aron stepped outside and remained there until the service had concluded. Seeing their smiling faces was too much.
At Saturday's service, Pastor John Outlaw, of Fellowship Baptist Church, said in his opening remarks that "these are difficult and hard times," but he reminded the audience that they must have "hope, faith and remember" the good times they had with Tabetha and her children.
After a prayer, the congregation listened to Ave Maria, as they watched a pictorial DVD of Tabetha and her children.
That was followed by Michelle Apley, mother of Aron, talking briefly. Comforted by Susan Tuttle, Tabetha's mother, Apley thanked the public for coming and said the people she wanted to thank the most - Tabetha, Hunter, Nicholas, Michael and Aron Jr. - were not here, adding, "but I know they will hear me."
After describing each individual, she ended by saying, "If there is a lesson to be learned from this terrible tragedy, it has to be don't take life for granted, appreciate every day you have with your families."
From Tuttle, the theme was remembering her daughter as a "fun loving" little girl who "loved to sing and dance." Expressing her love for her daughter and grandchildren, Tuttle ended by saying, "You're all my very special angels."
Once the service had ended, each person in attendance got a balloon and each wrote something on it before releasing it.
For Aron Chase, the pain of losing a young family will always be there.
Asked when he saw his father after they found him hunting in the Ocala National Forest on that fateful day, Chase said the first question he asked was, "Is Tabetha and the children all right?"
Thinking something was wrong because he did not get an answer, Chase said he and his father talked on the way home.
In front of his parents' mobile home, Chase said his father told him the news.
"I was supposed to be there. It's my family. I wish I was there instead of them," Chase said.

HPA scholarship auction April 27
The Hawaii Preparatory Academy's 20th Biennial Scholarship Auction will be held on Saturday, April 27, at the Fairmont Orchid in the Mauna Lani Resort.
Hosted cocktails and auction preview begin at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m.
The main event opens at 7:30 p.m. with Jim Bakker of James R. Bakker Antiques Inc. presiding.
The biennial fundraiser is the brainchild of the late Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske, an early HPA board member and owner of Anna Ranch in Waimea.
Perry-Fiske served as general chairman of the auction from 1974 to 1993.
The last two auctions in 2009 and 2011 raised a total of more than $1.2 million to benefit the school's financial aid program.
The school owns all auction items and 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to HPA students.
Currently, 253 students — 236 of whom are from Hawaii — receive assistance from the program.
This year's auction is co-chaired by Laurie Ainslie, board of trustees member and former board chair, and Bernard Nogues, retired director of the Isaacs Art Center. Nogues, who served the school for 46 years, directed every scholarship auction since its inception in 1974.
A trademark of the HPA Scholarship Auction is the quality of items presented for sale. Gaylord Dillingham, director of the auction and director of the Isaacs Art Center, anticipates much interest in Lloyd
Sexton's "Ginger and Hi'ilawe Falls at Waipio Valley" painted circa 1950, and Madge Tennent's "Hawaiian Spring Song," an original oil on canvas painted in 1936.
"The Madge Tennent piece is unique and this will be the first large Tennent oil on canvas available for sale in a very long time," said Dillingham.
Featured items also include a lovely seascape by D. Howard Hitchcock, original paintings by Martha Greenwell and works by the celebrated artists of the last 100 years, including Jean Charlot, Hon-Chew Hee, Huc-Mazelet Luquiens, Horatio Nelson Poole, Shirley Russell, Harry Wishard and John Young. Other auction highlights include antique and modern koa furniture and bowls, and extraordinary vacation packages.
"All members of the auction committee are actively working to find outstanding new art work, travel opportunities and other surprises for the auction that appeal to guests in myriad ways," said Dillingham. "This will be an historic event you will not want to miss."
Dillingham will consider donations of interesting items, art objects and services for the auction until March 31. All auction items are available online for preview at http://isaacsartcenter.hpa.edu/.
If you would like to support the auction, or purchase tickets, which are $150 per person, please contact Janet Melton at 881-4044 or email@example.com.
Tickets include dinner and complimentary wines and French champagne during the auction. Seating is limited and early ticket purchase is encouraged.

The JSP 1.2 specs (JSP.2.8.3 Implicit Objects) say it's page scope.

How is it page scope ? Can't I use the same response object across pages. I strongly feel it is request scope.

These are working wonders on my big bully feral cat that I brought into the house a few months ago. One to 1 1/2 in the morning and "Mr. Barry" behaves himself for the rest of the day. The girls are still a bit afraid of him but less and less each day that they realize they can walk near him without being brutalized.... He is mellow more than sleepy which is the outcome I wanted. I also put flower essences in their water and everyone seems to be a bit happier.
I purchased this product along with the gel. My cat is much happier eating this treat than licking off the gel. Still not a remedy for the improper spraying.
If these are mixed into food, x2 ea. day, along with the anti- anxiety homeopathy, my cats are calmer. We are moving and were traveling over the New Year. It definitely offered much needed support.
I bought the calming treats fearing my high-strung cat might refuse to eat them. She ate two and begged for more! Great product.
I buy these for my little "spitfire" to calm him down at bedtime. They work like a charm!!
They seemed ok... I have 4 cats. one cat didn't like them. Another did not have the calming effect (I took him to the groomer, that didn't go well). The other two cats seemed to have the desired effect of being calmed.
This product helps my cat Smoke, but because she is a Siamese, it takes several of these treats to calm her down.
My little cat family has always been very docile. Suddenly, one of them became quite aggressive to the others at bedtime really causing chaos. I ordered the Naturvet Cat Calming Aid Plus Ginger and not only does he love the soft chews, our bedtime ritual has once again become a fun time. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a rambunctious cat.
It's that time of year when toms and hot female cats are on the nightly prowl. This so upsets my beautiful neutered red point Birman that he runs around like a loony constantly sniffing, preoccupied with outside foreign smells and occasionally sprays inside the house. He has been put back on antidepressants to alleviate his anxiety and spraying but now I have discovered Calming Chews I hope to eventually just use these. He and my other two neutered felines (females) immediately took to these chews, even seeking more, and the effect has been outstanding with calmness being restored at high emotional times. They can be used as a "treat" because they seem to be so tasty. Mostly one is sufficient for the desired effect.The biggest effect is that the male sleeps more in the 24 hours but that's with the antidepressant in his system as well. If you are trying to achieve a more peaceful environment in times of high stress with the added benefit of a product that's natural, this is awesome but don't use any more than 2 chews for each cat as they may be too sleepy to play. By the way, I think that I've noticed less furballs. Maybe the ginger has helped!
Would love to be able to say that this product works wonderfully, unfortunately my crazy kitty will not touch it. I tried mashing half of one and mixing it in with her food, but then she would not eat her food. I gave it 3 stars, which is average, simply because I cannot say if this product works. I was hoping for a miracle, will just have to keep trying other products (unless they come out with a chicken flavored one, which I'm sure she would eat).
Purchased this to use with one of my cats who is a little more anxious than the other three. Can't get him to eat it but one of the other cats (the most laid-back one) loves them. Oh well!
My cat loves the smell and texture of these. Indoor cat, have noticed an improvement with hairballs and she does get nicely mellow if she's edgy. Love that these are all natural as well. No mineral oil!

"You don't have to get a haircut," Anna Kendrick sings to her beloved in The Last 5 Years, "you don't have to change your shoes." And you don't have to wait until the film's 2015 release to get a taste of Kendrick as Cathy.
The Last 5 Years, directed by P.S. I Love You's Richard LaGravenese, is adapted from Jason Robert Brown's Off-Broadway hit that follows a couple's five-year relationship told almost exclusively through song—and also told from two different timelines. Cathy's parts begin at the end of the relationship while Jamie's (Jeremy Jordan) begin at the start of it, and the two story lines don't collide until Jamie proposes.
Sound confusing? Kendrick says not to worry. "It all just kind of feels like vignettes, like scenes from a marriage, except musical versions," she told EW in February. "We were really worried about making sure that people were following the timeline of it, and actually it all works."
In an exclusive clip, Kendrick's Cathy seems to be at a good place in the relationship: She sings to Jamie about how he's perfect the way he is in a song that's often interrupted by kisses and, eventually, some undressing.
The Weinstein Company's RADiUS nabbed the North American Rights to the film at the Toronto International Film Festival and are planning for a Valentine's Day 2015 release. {insidemovies.ew.com}
Anna attended the first screening of her new film "The Last Five Years" at the Walter Reade Theater in New York on February 24th. Her leading man Jeremy Jordan was there, as well as Pitch Perfect co-star Ben Platt and actress Christine Taylor.

Anna Kendrick dives into 'The Last Five Years' with Jeremy Jordan — FIRST LOOK
Anna Kendrick did not expect to become Hollywood's resident musical theater It Girl, even though she earned her first Tony Award nomination at 12 years old and made her film debut in the cult musical comedy Camp.
With Pitch Perfect under her belt and the upcoming big-box items Into the Woods and Pitch Perfect 2 on deck, Kendrick's next belting role is significantly more indie. She'll play Cathy Hyatt in writer-director Richard LaGravenese's film adaptation of Jason Robert Brown's musical The Last Five Years, an Off Broadway two-hander that tells the story of a couple's five-year relationship through two interweaving storylines (one moves forward, the other backwards).
Just in time for Valentine's Day, EW has an exciting official first look at Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan (Smash, Broadway's Newsies) in the roles of struggling actress Cathy and rising novelist Jamie. The film is in the can and about to screen for buyers, who would be wise to snatch up the alluring Kendrick and Jordan and the giant fanbase that the cult musical has accrued since debuting in 2001.
We caught up with Kendrick to talk about her surprising arrival on Hollywood's movie-musical scene, getting drunk with her co-star, and whether there's another stage turn in her future.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Can I assume you were a fan of the cast recording before you signed on to the movie?
ANNA KENDRICK: No! Here's the thing, right? Parade is my favorite musical of all time, and I think that Jason Robert Brown is an absolute genius, and so many people have told me to listen to this recording and to see the show, and for some reason it just never happened. And then it wasn't until I got this script and saw that it was Jason Robert Brown that I even familiarized myself with the material. I wept my way through the script before I ever heard the music, and then the next morning I woke up and I re-read the script while I listened to the recording and I was just an absolute mess, because it's so beautiful. I immediately realized I could never listen to this cast recording again, because I had to learn it from scratch so that I don't just do an impression of the recording. But it was such a blessing to come into that experience with no preconceived idea of who Cathy was.
Did you see any parts of yourself in the character of Cathy?
I definitely see myself in Cathy and I see myself in Jamie. The thing that I loved about Cathy was this feeling that her partner was starting to take up more emotional space in the world and that meant that she had to shrink down, like that she represses herself to a degree that she ends up exploding. I thought it was so true to so many situations that I see my friends go through. It definitely echoes the things that I've experienced.
Did you get to have any conversation with composer Jason Robert Brown that helped shape how you approached the role?
Jason was always really reticent about giving direction. Georgia Stitt, his wife, was my vocal coach, and she taught me the entire score from top to bottom, the poor thing. And she obviously is very close to the material, so she could kind of lay the groundwork for ideas and things that people have done in the past. But mostly it was about [director] Richard [LaGravenese] and his vision. I had an opportunity to really shape who she was, and that was a real treat.
Tell me about your co-star Jeremy Jordan. How did you find your chemistry?
The first day that we had rehearsal together, we just were going through music, and that night we decided to go out for drinks and I basically got him super-duper drunk. He doesn't drink that much, and I was like, oh well, if we're going to get to know each other, we have to do it really fast, so we're just going to do shots of whiskey and it's going to be a great night. So we just got drunk and basically went through the life history, one point at a time.
The actual show is weirdly structured because you've got one timeline moving forward and another moving backwards. Is that the way the movie will work?
Yeah, the movie is exactly like the show where it moves forward and backward in time. Something about it on film feels a little less like we have to really be paying attention to the timeline. It all just kind of feels like vignettes, like scenes from a marriage, except musical versions. So it has the exact same structure, but it doesn't feel like you are lost in time. We were really worried about making sure that people were following the timeline of it, and actually it all works.
The Last Five Years has such die-hard fans. They will be pleased that it's becoming a movie, but how did you make sure that those comparisons to original stars Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott didn't get to you?
Obviously that's something that you have to think about, but I really didn't think about it that much, because Sherie was on set a bunch! Sherie makes a cameo and she was incredibly supportive. She immediately was so unbelievably kind, so generous with her advice and her praise that I never thought about her as this looming figure of somebody's shoes I had to fill.
With Pitch Perfect and all the musicals you're tackling, how surprised are you that this is a path your career has taken? It's full circle back to your theater roots.
I definitely did not expect to do more musicals. Particularly after Pitch Perfect, it's not a choice that I would have consciously made. If anything, I wouldn't just do any musical. It happened that they were making two of the most incredible musicals with some of the most incredible roles. To do Last Five Years and Into the Woods is such a dream that obviously I wasn't about to be, like, "Well, I don't really want to do another musical right now."
You've done Sondheim, Cole Porter, Jason Robert Brown—anything else that would galvanize you to do another?
I can't really think of anything, and I know I say that, but I'm such an MT at heart that it would probably be a tough thing to turn down if I were offered another musical. But I do feel like I need to remember how to deliver dialogue on screen.
You do have these Broadway beginnings. Any inclination to go back to the stage?
At this point, it's so terrifying. I know that I shouldn't admit this, but it's not like it's some big secret — I just could not sing The Last Five Years eight times a week. I have so much respect for Sherie, so much respect for Betsy Wolfe and anybody who's ever done Cathy in a theater. It is a hard freaking role.
How have these last five years been for you?
It's funny, because the last five years of my life have actually been hugely transitional, and it's been mostly really good. I've been incredibly lucky to have this balance of my career going really well, but it doesn't feel overwhelmed. I don't feel like I'm drowning. I feel incredibly fulfilled and incredibly lucky. I guess it hasn't been filled with as much turmoil as Cathy's last five years, but it's been really exciting.

Wooing him with those legs: Anna Kendrick shows off her pins in tiny shorts as she serenades co-star Jeremy Jordan
She's playing the lead in a new romantic musical, and it looks like Anna Kendrick certainly knows a thing or two about wooing her man.
The stunning actress was spotted on the set of her new film The Last Five Years, serenading co-star Jeremy Jordan outside an apartment block.
The duo have been hard at work over the past few weeks shooting on location around New York.
Serenading: Anna Kendrick shoots scenes for her new film The Last Five Years in New York
Their latest scene saw Anna have her turn in the spotlight as she posed on some steps to sing to her on-screen lover.
Dressed in white denim shorts, Anna's long toned legs were on display as the scene was shot in the blazing New York sunshine.
Anna's look was completed with a navy tee and wedge sandals, with her long locks left loose and curled.
Leading male: Jeremy Jordan's character was seen sitting above Anna Kendrick in the apartment as she belted out a song below
Whilst Anna was singing her heart out, Jeremy could be seen sitting in the window of the apartment block above.
The gorgeous Smash star was also dressed down in a striped jumper. It was obviously a tense scene as Jeremy looked grim-faced as Anna belted out her song.
Musical: Anna plays Cathy in the new film, which is based on the off–Broadway musical of the same name
A photo of their characters wedding could be seen resting in a frame behind Jeremy in the new scene, with the pic showing the pair looking a lot happier and decidedly more dapper.
That wedding scene was shot last week in Central Park with 27-year-old Anna wearing a stunning gown for the al fresco shots..
Wearing a low-cut cream lace gown and matching veil, Anna was seen strolling though New York's famous Central Park for her on-screen big day.

The story is told in reverse chronological order and features two simultaneous story lines. Cathy's tale starts at the end of the five year relationship whilst Jamie's story line begins at the moment the couple first meet.
Due to hit cinemas next year, the characters do not directly interact except for their wedding song in the middle of the film, when their different timescales overlap.
Anna was spotted on set of The Last 5 Years set today, July 8th, in Central Park, New York City, filming a wedding scene! She looks absolutely gorgeous wedding co-star Jeremy Jordan!

Parra: A Lifetime in A Weekend
The work is immediately recognizable, be it on the bottom of a skateboard, or hanging in a gallery. Though that's absolutely an advantage, such instant familiarity could lead you to overlook Parra's continued evolution as an artist. That defining piece, the one you could spot a mile away, is different now. Maybe it's less articulated, a reduced definition, but much more is conveyed.November 01, 2016

"I've never voted Conservative in my life. I helped dad to canvas sometimes, if he was short-handed, but God, I'd never talk to anyone. How could I? I didn't believe in it. I'm not a political animal at all. For me, politics and the news are the boring bits between the records on the radio.
"I don't remember him being elected - he just seemed to seep into it, and both sides of my family have been in politics since the beginning of time. Dinner-table conversations were always really rocking - lots of good table-banging, because dad wanted us to know our own minds and question things.
"He wanted me to go to Eton, and that was the first time I ever said no to him. I didn't want to got around with a bunch of tight-buttocked guys in frocks. So I was sent away to Malvern, but I hated the whole public school thing - it pissed me off that people would automatically assume, because I was an MP's son, that I was some plummy army boy.
"I dropped out of university after a term, grew dreadlocks down my back, wore make-up, joined a band - did the full post-punk bit. That upset my dad a bit.
"It wasn't ever hammered home to me that I had to watch my step because of dad, but I knew the score. When Olivia Channon died [of a drug overdose], I remember they told me to make sure I was always careful. When I did the bum thing on TV, the News of the World got on to my mum and dad, but they just thought it was funny.
"I see dad as a rebel, too, and that's why he's comfortable with my life. It would have been different if he'd been a typical Tory MP, brown-nosing to Thatcher. But I'm very proud of him - never more than when he helped to get rid of Thatch. He's a cool guy."
Victoria Scott (above), 29, a disability rights campaigner, is the daughter of Sir Nicholas Scott (below), Conservative MP for Kensington and Chelsea since the year she was born. They clashed publicly in 1994 over his part in defeating the Disability Rights Bill.
"Being Sir Nicholas's daughter has been difficult for me. A lot of people are distrustful of me - it was always seen as rather easy for me to be radical, and often I haven't been taken seriously because of it.
"At boarding school it was nice - you'd be sitting together in the hall doing prep, and suddenly your Dad would be on the TV news. When you're that age, and desperate to stand out from the crowd - and I was wearing Clarks' shoes, so I was never going to stand out for any other reason - it was great.
"But when I got to poly and set up an anti-apartheid society, I met left- wing people. Until then, everyone I knew thought Che Guevara was a dish. Suddenly, I began to realise that issues of equality were perhaps in conflict with my father's party politics.
"There were some pretty tearful phone calls home. Every Saturday my parents would be watching TV, waiting to see me carted off from another march. I gatecrashed a speech my father made to the Oxford Union about Northern Ireland, and questioned him about strip searches. But he never gave any hint that I was causing him political embarrassment. I never even thought about it.
"When the disability row broke out, I made no pretence of my anger and disappointment. I had a job to do. But where's the point in letting political differences interfere with your relationships? I'm never going to get him to leave the Conservative Party, so why let it get to you?"
Johnny Yeo (above), 25, a portrait painter, is the son of Tim Yeo, MP for Suffolk South (below). As environment minister in January 1994, Tim Yeo was revealed to have fathered a Tory councillor's baby. Johnny was suffering from cancer at the time; his younger sister was recovering from a brain haemorrhage.
"I quickly got bored of politics. After the first election, when I was 12, I didn't do any more of that 'pose as the MP's son' kind of thing. He was very good about it - he didn't use us in the way I think other MPs use their families. And there was never any lecture about how to behave so as not to disgrace Dad. But when I was in my late teens and obviously experimenting with drugs, I really felt a pressure not to get caught.
"When the scandal broke, we were hounded by the press. I felt sorry for Dad: the coverage was so one-sided and he was horribly pilloried. Having said that, politicians, expose themselves to that, so they have to expect it.
"We knew about the affair before it broke. It had been such an odd year - I had been so ill with cancer, it all seemed unreal. The scandal went on for weeks No one can imagine what it was like. I went downstairs at one point, weeks after it broke, to help my Mum in with some groceries, and suddenly 70 or so journalists came pouring round the corner with cameras and a film crew, shouting out the most unbelievably hurtful things. You never forget about that.
"I think people think I've had it easy, which is the most irritating thing of all. Yes, it helped to invite his rich friends to my early exhibitions - I bumped into Peter Bottomley at one of my Dad's parties, and he asked me to paint Virginia. But, on balance, it's been slightly unhelpful. Artists are meant to be bohemian and starving, if they're to be taken seriously.
"Everyone has views about politicians, so you are aware that everyone will react differently to the news of who your father is. I've learnt never to volunteer the information. Even now, at dinner parties, people will attack me quite arbitrarily for it."
David Prescott (above), 25, a journalist, shares a flat with his father, John Prescott (below), deputy leader of the Labour Party since 1994 and MP for Hull East since 1970.
"I knew he was different, because my earliest memory of him, when I was four or five, is him on the the TV. I knew he liked celery, so I went and got some from the fridge, and tried to feed it into his mouth on the telly.
"You used to get called names at school - 'What does MP stand for? Mucky Pig' - that sort of thing, but no worse than being called chubby, or thin, or whatever. And it was funny when you got the election stuff through the post, and there was this picture of you and your family. All your mates would take the mickey.
"John missed us growing up, and I didn't always understand that at the time, but looking back it was obviously for the greater good. There's a phase all politicians' children go through, when you want to rebel and be who you are for yourself, but that's just puberty, and your hormones calm down soon enough.
"The name's quite distinctive, and invariably you get asked if you are related. But being John's son has closed more doors, professionally, than it has opened. It's different for Labour kids - we don't get the patronage you see Tory kids getting on newspapers.
"On my first day at work for a news agency in Leeds, I effectively had to doorstep my own mum. A story was going round that John was having an affair, and the agency was desperate for a quote. Obviously, family comes first, but I knew they were going to be outside the house until they got something. So I got the quote.
"It certainly affects your relationships. You don't know whether a woman is talking to you because you're a nice bloke or because of who your dad is. You can get quite paranoid. There have been times when I was used, but also times when I've been completely wrong.
"I would never put myself in a position where I could disgrace my family. I've been offered coke and other things, but I would never take them.
"The worst thing about being a Labour son, though, is you drink champagne, you drink white wine, you go to the Groucho club - and suddenly everyone's saying you are a ponce.
"And it was very hard when John became deputy leader, and you started getting some old vinegar-tits fashion editor comparing your mum's dress sense with Cherie Blair's.
"Everyone thinks it must be great - you must pull great women, all that. But that's rubbish. On the other hand, I've had Michael Foot and Tony Benn stay at our house. It could've been worse. I could've been David Mellor's son."
