Cynthia Nixon - 2016A tour-de-force actress with a long resume on film, television, and stage, Nixon began her at age 12 in the feature film Little Darlings and made her Broadway debut in The Philadelphia Story for which she won a Theatre World Award. On television, she received critical praise and her first emmy in the role of Miranda Hobbes on HBO'S hit series Sex and the City, which also earned her multiple Golden Globe nominations. She went on to co-star in the two wildly successful Sex and the City films. Nixon can currently be seen inPamela Romanowsky's film The Adderall Diaries and later this year in Terence Davies' biopic A Quiet Passion as reclusive poet Emily Dickinson. Recent projects include Showtime's The Affair, Comedy Central's Broad City, Josh Mond's James White (Independent Spirit Award nominee, Best Supporting Female), Richard Loncraine's 5 Flights Up, and Nikole Bechwith's Stockholm, Pennsylvania (Critics Choice Television Award Nominee, Best Actress in a Movie or Limited Series.) On Stage, Nixon has won a Tony Award for Rabbit Hole and earned two Tony nominations for Indiscretions and Wit. PATRICIA CLARKSON - 2014Since making her big-screen debut in 1987 in Brian De Palma's Oscar-winning The Untouchables, Patricia Clarkson's immense talent has allowed her to escape the trap of ever being pigeonholed. The New Orleans native received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama, where she appeared in a number of productions including Electra, Twelfth Night, and The Misanthrope. Roles in the acclaimed films High Art, The Green Mile, Far From Heaven, The Station Agent, Dogville, Good Night and Good Luck, and All the Real Girls soon followed. Channeling the grace, strength, beauty, and independence of one-of-a-kind actresses like Katharine Hepburn before her, it is Clarkson's diversity-her ability to disappear into any role-that has stood as her trademark. Matt Dillon - 2013
Matt Dillon's successful film career has spanned over three decades and has showcased his wide range of dramatic and comedic talents. From his breakthrough performance in The Outsiders to his hilarious turn as an obsessed private investigator in There's Something About Mary, he has proven himself to be one of the most diverse actors of his generation. Parker Posey - 2012
Parker Posey's rise to stardom began with a recurring role on the soap opera "As the World Turns." Shortly after, she quickly secured a foothold with one-of-a-kind turns in some of the best independent films of the 1990s including DAZED AND CONF USE D, PART Y GIR L, BASQUIAT, THE DAYTRI PPERS , CLOCKW ATC HERS , WAITING FOR GUFFM AN, and THE HOUSE OF YES , which garnered her a Special Recognition award from the Sundance Film Festival for her performance – and the unofficial honorific, the "Queen of the Indies" by the press. VERA FARMIGA - 2011 Vera Farmiga continues to captivate audiences with her ability to embody each of her diverse and engaging roles. Her many credits include, DOWN TO THE BONE, THE DEPARTED, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, JOSHUA, and UP IN THE AIR, for which she received nominations for an Academy Award, BAFTA, Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe. Farmiga recently made her directorial debut with HIGHER GROUND, which opened to critical acclaim at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Tilda Swinton - 2010 Tilda Swinton won an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for her performance in Tony Gilroy's MICHAEL CLAYTON. She also received Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe Award nominations for her portrayal. In 2009 she won the Best Actress Evening Standard Award and was nominated by Les Cesars for her role as the eponymous lead JULIA. Ms. Swinton had earlier been a Golden Globe Award nominee for David Siegel and Scott McGehee's THE DEEP END, which also brought her an Independent Spirit Award nomination. She starred in the Cohen Brothers' BURN AFTER READING and also in David Fincher's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. A native of Scotland, Ms. Swinton started making films with the English director Derek Jarman in 1985, with CARAVAGGIO. They made several more films together, including THE LAST OF ENGLAND, THE GARDEN, WAR REQUIEM, EDWARD II (for which she was named Best Actress at the 1991 Venice International Film Festival), and WITTGENSTEIN, before Mr. Jarman's death in 1994. She gained wider international recognition in 1992 with her portrayal of Orlando, based on the novel by Virginia Woolf under the direction of Sally Potter. Since then, her films have included Lynn Hershman-Leeson, CONCEIVING ADA and TEKNOLUST (in four roles); Susan Streitfeld's FEMALE PERVERSIONS; John Maybury's LOVE IS THE DEVIL; Robert Lepage's Possible Worlds; Danny Boyle's THE BEACH; Cameron Crowe's VANILLA SKY; Spike Jonze's Academy Award-winning ADAPTATION; David Mackenzie's YOUNG ADAM; two films costarring with Keanu Reeves, Mike Mills' THUMBSUCKER and Francis Lawrence's CONSTANTINE; Béla Tarr's THE MAN FROM LONDON; Andrew Adamson's two blockbusters THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA tales; and Erick Zonca's JULIA, which received its world-premiere at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival. And was released in the UK in December 2008. 2008 saw Ms. Swinton complete a role in Jim Jarmusch's new film THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, after she appeared in the writer/director's BROKEN FLOWERS. Most recently she filmed Luca Guadagnino's LO SONO L'AMORE (I AM LOVE), a love story shot entirely in Italian and Russian. In the summer of 2008 Ms. Swinton launched the Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams film festival in her hometown of Nairn, Scotland. In 2009 the festival returned as a mobile cinema that travelled from Kinlochlevan on the west coast of Scotland to Nairn on the east coast. Alessandro Nivola - 2009 Alessandro Nivola's first professional leading role earned him a Drama Desk Award Nomination for his performance opposite Helen Mirren on Broadway in Turgenev's A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY. The following year he drew critical acclaim and a Blockbuster Award Nomination for playing Nicolas Cage's paranoid genius younger brother in John Woo's FACE/OFF. A series of roles in English movies followed, establishing him as one of the few Americans capable of playing British characters from all regions and classes. He starred as a Hastings fisherman opposite Rachel Weisz in Michael Winterbottom's I WANT YOU, played Henry Crawford in the Patricia Rozema adaptation of Jane Austen's MANSFIELD PARK, and a singing/dancing King Ferdinand of Navarre in Kenneth Brannagh's musical film of Shakespeare's LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST. Back in the U.S. he starred opposite Reese Witherspoon in BEST LAID PLANS, and played leading roles in JURASSIC PARK 3, and Mike Figgis' TIME CODE. He returned to the theater to play Orlando to Gwyneth Paltrow's Rosalind in AS YOU LIKE IT at Williamstown, before being reunited with Helen Mirren in the film THE CLEARING, this time playing her son rather than her lover as he had on stage. He earned an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for his performance as the rock singer Ian McNight in Lisa Cholodenko's LAUREL CANYON where he recorded the character's songs himself prompting Vogue magazine to write, "he sings Brit pop well enough to get a record deal." In 2006, he starred in JUNEBUG opposite Amy Adams, and in the Sundance audience award winner GRACE IS GONE opposite John Cusack, Recent films include Ridley Scott's mini-series THE COMPANY, the Lionsgate thriller THE EYE opposite Jessica Alba, and THE GIRL IN THE PARK opposite Sigourney Weaver and Kate Bosworth.

Alessandro will next be seen as Boy Capel opposite Audrey Tautou in COCO AVANT CHANEL, a film about the early life of Coco Chanel, and in HOWL about the obscenity trial over the famous Alan Ginsberg poem of the same title. He is a graduate of Yale University with a BA in English. Gael García Bernal - 2008 An actor nearly all his life, Gael García Bernal began performing in stage productions with his parents in Mexico, and later studied at the Central School for Speech and Drama in London. Bernal then appeared in several plays and short films before his major feature film debut in Alejandro Gonzalez's Amores Perros, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2000. He gained more attention for Alfonso Cuarón's Y Tu Mamá También, where he starred opposite his close friend, Diego Luna. He subsequently starred in the title role of Carlos Carrera's Academy Award-nominated El Crimen del padre Amaro [The Crime of Father Amaro]. Later Bernal was cast to play the revolutionary leader Che Guevara in Walter Salles's The Motorcycle Diaries. Gael García Bernal also starred in Pedro Almodóvar's La mala educacíon [Bad Education].

After "Rudo y Cursi", he will star in Fernando Meirelles' "Blindness". He founded the film production company Canana with Diego Luna and Pablo Cruz in 2005. Since then, they've produced "JC Chavez", "Deficit", "Cochochi" and presently in post production, "Voy a explotar". Together they also run the Ambulante documentary film festival, that travels around several cities in Mexico.

Gael García participated in the play Together with the Vesturport Theatre Group in Island and México. Alan Cumming - 2007 Tony and Olivier Award winning actor Alan Cumming has enjoyed success in many acclaimed films (CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, TITUS, EMMA, URBANIA, EYES WIDE SHUT, SWEET LAND and NICHOLAS NICKLEBY) as well as crossing over to blockbusters such as SPY KIDS, X2 and GOLDENEYE. He can next be seen in TIN MEN, an original mini-series offering a new take on The Wizard of Oz, along with Richard Dreyfus and Zooey Deschanel. Lili Taylor - 2006 Dubbed the "first lady of the indie cinema" by Variety and "irreplaceable" by Roger Ebert, actress Lili Taylor has helped shape the American independent film movement. During a career encompassing nearly 40 films as well as notable TV shows and plays, she has worked with today's most innovative independent directors. From the start, Taylor would only accept roles she believed in—compelling characters in films with a measure of artistic integrity. As critics endlessly debate the definition of "independent film," her work embodies the spirit of the term with an astonishing range and vitality. Marcia Gay Harden - 2002 |

Rishikesh/Lucknow, June 27 (IANS) The Sikh holy shrine at Hemkund Sahib, located 15,200 feet above sea level in Uttarakhad, has been shut for now due to heavy rains, an official said Thursday.
"The road from Tayya bridge leading to Hemkund Sahib is broken at many places. So we decided to shut the shrine for some time," an Uttarakhand official said.
He added that the gurdwara employees have come down to Joshimath, about 35 km away, and would wait for "things to brighten up". The doors of the shrine were shut after offering of prayers.
Hemkund Sahib is a major attraction for Sikh pilgrims in Uttarakhand, a state dotted with revered Hindu shrines.
Meanwhile, rains halted early Thursday and the evacuation of people and pilgrims stranded in the hills resumed in the Badrinath area.
But Chamoli region is experiencing heavy rains since Wednesday evening. Authorities have closed the Chamoli-Joshimath highway owing to landslides.
Officials told IANS that they were forced to halt evacuation in the Patalganga and Pagalnala areas due to heavy rains.
"As of now, there is no way people can come to Joshimath," one official said.
More than 4,000 people are still stranded in the Badrinath area as torrential rains have crippled the rescue and evacuation operations in the past two days.
While thousands were airlifted on clear days, the inclement weather and Tuesday's chopper crash which killed 20 people have slowed down the rescue operations through the air route.
The met department has forecast more rains in the hill state in the next two days. Besides rains, heavy fog in some places is also slowing down the rescue efforts.
"The narrow roads carved out of the hills are very slippery. Therefore, the stranded pilgrims and tourists are not willing to proceed on such roads," the official said.
"Now that most of those stranded have been brought to army relief camps, no one is risking a hasty evacuation to plains. We are waiting for the weather to clear," a senior army officer said.
On Wednesday, army helicopters rescued 45 people in Darma Valley in Dharchula. Of these, 12 pilgrims were airlifted from Aadi Kailash.
Hundreds have died and more than 60,000 people were stranded in the hills after a cloudburst and subsequent humongous floods ravaged Uttarakhand more than 10 days ago, particularly in the Kedarnath and Badrinath areas.

Ok hot mamas and papas
Of course, being a white liberal right-on kind of girl (and skint) I'm going to use washable nappies. But which ones? I'm told the old fold-them-yourself nappies aren't as absorbent as disposables, and they look like such a hassle, but there's a whole load of cloth nappies out there with names like Funky Bunz and Eco-bots that are shaped and easy to put on and washable. Problem is, they're a bit of an investment to get started and I don't want to get ones that turn out to be duds.
What do you mamas and papas recommend?

Yay! My expertise is finally being called upon. I used Kushies (Kooshies?) and Fuzzi Bunz - although almost died of embarrassment each time I had to say the name - Kushies were easy, but didn't last as long. I'd definitely recommend Fuzzis. Get them direct from the US, much cheaper.
- rhiannon said...
I also used kushies and fuzzibunz, kushies I didn't enjoy much at all, Aesop was a pretty heavy wetter and sometime wouldn't last longer than an hour in each nappy, and they got very cold feeling when they were wet.
Fuzzibunz on the other hand have been so, so awesome. Expensive as heck but they last forever, come in so many cute bright colours are easy to wash and dry, and are pretty indistinguishable (spelling?) from disposables in most ways. I'm verrrrrrry much seconding the fuzzibunz. - 5:28 PM
although i am not a parent i would recommend fuzzibunz. my other parental friends have liked them and all the kids at the MFE child care seemed to wear them and i would say that government department kids would know the best nappies
- Sue said...
and my lovely friend lianne built this web site whihc is brimming with organicy baby stuff
she built it becuase when she wanted it there was nothing on the net that answered all her questons - 8:47 PM
i never tried the fuzzibunz, but have heard they're really good. we were given a ginormous stack of traditional white nappies, and bought some 'weenies' (eeneedesigns.com - i think, plus lots of trademe) to go over them- and were really happy with those- one set lasted us both children. sometimes having the traditional nappies lying around is really useful when you have a new baby- they're multipurpose.
and they look nice on the washing line- which is, of course, very important. ;) - 8:04 AM
- Nikki (Mother of the Devil Child) said...
Ohhhh noooo you didn't!! You just asked about cloth nappies... that'll teach ya.
I used fuzzis primarily... but only from the time when I discovered Modern Cloth Nappies when Han was about 11 months and I'd recommend that system over any other.
BUT there are cheaper alternatives that are made in NZ. Like www.tweedle.co.nz and www.babyharmony.co.nz and www.wigglebums.co.nz AND the cutest of the cute (but a bit pricey) are Ecobubs Wool Pockets at www.ecobubs.co.nz (Brilliant for night).
There are also things called hire kits which you can hire for 7ish weeks to get the hang of the different types of systems and brands... then make your purchasing decisions from there.
A pile of info is available at www.clothnappy.co.nz
Hrmmm... perhaps I should have emailed you? This might be all rather overwhelming. :S

everyone has something to say about nappies. - 2:41 PM

Re: cloth diapers
I have four daughters (the last two are twins), and I used the 'old-fashioned' pin ones for the 1st and the 'velcro wrap' ones for the others. If you are crafty and can make the absorbent parts, then you only have to buy the (somewhat) waterproof velcro covers and they do last a long time. I'm afraid that none of them are as leak-proof as disposables, so you may want to keep some around for significant occasions (eg. Christenings, etc.) Bonne chance!! You will love being a Mama! - 5:24 PM
My opinion is-- old fashioned fold em yourself cloth diapers with rubber pants and pins are bomb proof! Way better than disposables any day!
I had three daughters and two sons and as anyone can imagine, I changed lots and lots of diapers, and I relied solely on the old way of diapering. Never a leak, never a mess, and never a baby still needing diapers past 2-1/2 years, other than for night-time.
No matter what the babies did in their pants, the elastic bands on the rubber pants always held everything in. A quick wash every two to three days, and I had diapers again for another few days.
It was cheap, economical, and reliable. You'll never go wrong with fold ups! Great blog!

Iran will not dismantle its nuclear facilities as demanded by its arch-foe Israel and some U.S. conservative lawmakers, President Hassan Rouhani told the Financial Times in an interview published on Friday.
World powers reached a deal with Iran last week [2] to curb its nuclear program in exchange for limited relief of sanctions stifling its economy.
Israel criticized the deal as a "historical mistake" with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [3] saying a comprehensive deal with Iran "must, in the end, lead to the result of the dismantling of Iran's military nuclear capability."
When asked by the Financial Times if Tehran whether dismantling its nuclear facilities [4] is a "red line" Rouhani replied: "100 percent."
Rouhani further stressed that the level to which Iran will continue to enrich uranium will be determined by the country's need for fuel. [5]
Regarding Iran's future relation with the United States, Rouhani said: "We need to decrease tensions at this stage and create mutual trust step by step. The problems created over 35 years cannot be resolved over a limited time," he said.
"The best test to see whether we are capable of building trust or not is this nuclear issue. If the first steps taken in Geneva are implemented carefully and precisely, it would mean that we have taken one step forward toward trust," Rouhani said.
Iran's six-month freeze of its nuclear program agreed with world powers in Geneva will start by early January, Tehran's envoy to the U.N. atomic watchdog indicated Friday. "We expect that either at the end of December or the beginning of January we should start implementing the measures agreed by both sides," Reza Najafi, envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters, according to AFP.
The freeze is meant to make it more difficult for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon and to build confidence while Tehran and the P5+1 hammer out a long-term accord.

Water Polo will join the likes of Swimming and Athletics at this year's Balfour Beatty London Youth Games taking place from 3rd to 4th July at Crystal Palace.
It will be classed as a 'development sport' alongside Handball, super8 Athletics and adaptive indoor rowing. The development sports will not count towards the overall Jubilee Cup standings but their inclusion is with a view to being included in the main London Youth Games programme in the future.
With an increased number of Water Polo participants in the London region Colin Brown, Director of London Swimming is pleased it will be part of the 2010 Games.
"To be included as a development sport in the London Youth Games is vital for Water Polo to establish itself in the consciousness of young Londoners," he said.
"It is an exhilarating sport and being part of the exciting London Youth Games multi-sport environment can only encourage more youngsters to give Water Polo a go."
Around 50,000 youngsters representing 33 London borough teams are expected to have participated in the 2010 Games across 30 sports.

Asbestosis is a non-cancerous, but still deadly, lung disease caused by asbestos exposure. It is severe scarring of the lungs which restricts their movement, making it increasingly difficult to breathe and sometimes leading to heart failure. Asbestosis is a painful and debilitating illness that has no cure.
The symptoms typically do not appear for 10 to 50 years after asbestos exposure, and after extensive lung damage has already occurred. Asbestosis is often misdiagnosed as other illnesses, such as asthma or a cold. Since many people are not aware of having been exposed to asbestos, they do not alert their doctors to the danger.
Asbestosis cannot be cured, but early detection is critical to survival. Untreated asbestosis can progress to lung collapse, pleurisy, and heart failure. Symptoms include:
Asbestosis is the result of long-term repeated attempts by your body's immune system to get rid of the sharp, tiny asbestos fibers which are irritating your lungs. The fibers cannot be broken down or removed by the protective cells (known as macrophages) which normally dispose of foreign substances. Instead of the macrophages inactivating the asbestos fibers, the fibers kill the macrophages. Initially this causes inflammation, which is part of the immune response. When that fails, your immune system takes more serious action, depositing connective tissue to encapsulate the fibers. While it cannot get rid of the problem, but it doesn't give up. More connective tissue is deposited until there is a fibrous mass.
Scar tissue in your lungs makes it difficult to breathe. By not allowing the lungs to expand and contract properly, the scar tissue lowers lung capacity. Your lungs become less and less efficient in exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, making your breathing less and less effective.
It starts out with shortness of breath after exertion, and many people think they are developing asthma or just getting out of shape. As the scar tissue grows, you may find yourself out of breath just watching television. The things you do every day like walking to the mailbox or bathroom become tiring, requiring you to stop and catch your breath. Asbestosis can progress to the point that you never get enough oxygen, leaving you unable to get out of bed at all.
When your body is short on oxygen and your lungs cannot deliver it, your heart will try to compensate by constantly working hard to pump the much needed oxygen to your deprived tissues. This can eventually put too much strain on your heart, causing it to fail.
If you have developed asbestosis from your exposure to asbestos, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. The experienced asbestos attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers can review your case and advise you on the best way to proceed.

Tariquidar and Docetaxel to Treat Patients With Lung, Ovarian, Renal and Cervical Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) to examine the ability of the experimental drug tariquidar to improve chemotherapy results by blocking a protein (P-glycoprotein) on some cancer cells that acts to pump out cancer drugs; 2) examine how tariquidar interacts with the cancer drug docetaxel; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of combination treatment with tariquidar and docetaxel in treating patients with lung, ovarian, or cervical cancer.
Patients 18 years of age and older with recurrent or metastatic (spreading) lung, cervical, or ovarian cancer who cannot benefit from any standard treatment may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination; review of pathology slides; blood and urine tests; imaging tests, including computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans; chest x-ray, electrocardiogram (EKG); and possibly echocardiogram.
Participants will undergo the following tests and procedures:
Blood draw. Blood is drawn before treatment begins to establish baseline levels for future blood tests. Blood counts are done twice weekly after chemotherapy begins.
Central venous catheter placement. A plastic tube is put into a major vein in the chest. It is used to give the study drugs or other medications, including antibiotics and blood transfusions, if needed, and to withdraw blood samples. The line is usually placed under local anesthesia in the radiology department or the operating room. It can stay in the body for months or be removed after each treatment is completed.
Chemotherapy. Treatment cycles are 21 days. Both drugs are given on day 1 of each cycle. First, tariquidar is given as a 30-minute infusion. One hour after the tariquidar infusion, docetaxel is infused over 1 hour. (For the first cycle only, docetaxel is given in divided doses one week apart and tariquidar is administered on either day 1 or day 8. The order of tariquidar administration is randomized to generate optimal pharmacokinetic data. Patients will be hospitalized for several days during this cycle to gather research data). The tariquidar dose remains the same throughout the study. Docetaxel may be increased or decreased from cycle to cycle, based on side effects.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |

Official Title: | A Clinical Trial of the P-Glycoprotein Antagonist, Tariquidar (XR9576), in Combination With Docetaxel in Patients With Lung, Ovarian, Renal and Cervical Cancer: Analysis of the Interaction Between Tariquidar and Docetaxel |
- Geometric Mean of Maximum Concentration of the Drug (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]In the first cycle patients were to receive docetaxel on days 1 and 8 and to be randomized to receive tariquidar on either day 1 or 8. Thus pharmacokinetic data with and without tariquidar can be compared.
- The Number of Participants With Adverse Events. [ Time Frame: 4 yrs 8-11 months ]Here are the total number of participants with adverse events. For the detailed list of adverse events see the adverse event module.
- Geometric Mean of Area Under Curve (AUC0)-24 [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
- Clinical Response Rate [ Time Frame: 4 years, 8-11 months ]Response is determined by RECIST criteria defined as changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesion. Lesions are either measurable or non-measurable. Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >/- 20 mm with conventional techniques (CT, MRI, xray) or as >/- 10 mm with a spiral CT scan. Non-measurable lesions are defined as all other lesions (or sites of disease) including small lesions (longest diameter <20 mm with conventional techniques or <10 mm using spiral CT.
- Percent Increase in Sestamibi Area Under Curve (AUC) in Liver After Tariquidar [ Time Frame: 3 - 24 hours ]A significant change in the area under the curve(AUC) in liver tissue (normal tissue as a surrogate) is defined as P<0.001. A secondary objective of this study was to establish whether tariquidar (150 mg) modulates Pgp in liver. Sestamibi is a Pgp substrate that may be a surrogate for measuring drug efflux from tumors. A baseline Tc-sestamibi scan was obtained before the administration of tariquidar. A minimum of 48 hours later, on or about day 22 a single dose of tariquidar was administered, followed by a second Tc-sestamibi scan.
- Percent Increase in Sestamibi Area Under Curve (AUC) in Tumor Tissue [ Time Frame: 3-24 hours ]99mTc-sestamibi is a radionuclide imaging agent used to study cardiac function that has also been shown to be a substrate for P-glycoprotein- mediated drug efflux. Because of the high expression of Pgp in liver tissue, sestamibi uptake in liver tissue is often monitored as a marker of Pgp inhibition. A significant change in the area under the curve(AUC) in liver tissue (normal tissue as a surrogate) is defined as P<0.001.

Jim Carrey Drops Out of "Dumb and Dumber" Sequel
Posted: June 20th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
About three months ago, the Farrelly brothers revealed that they are working on a sequel to "Dumb and Dumber," which was released in 1994 and grossed $247 million on a $17 million budget. Then came word that both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels would reprise their roles, something that Carrey was extremely excited about.
But Entertainment Tonight is now reporting that Carrey has dropped out, stating that he has grown increasingly frustrated by Warner Bros' lack of enthusiasm for the project. "
I would have thought 'Dumb and Dumber To' was a no-brainer,
" he said. "
After all it's implied in the title.
Without Carrey there's obviously no movie.

There already was a sequel, and it was amazing!!
on June 20th, 2012 at 8:32:27 AM
The reason given doesn't make any sense! I'm sure it's more about a financial issue than "lack of enthusiasm". WTF does that mean anyway?
on June 20th, 2012 at 10:50:47 AM
At least, Jim Carrey knows what's Dumb and what's Dumber, just like this idea of a sequel.
on June 20th, 2012 at 10:50:49 AM
Mother f*ckers! I want this movie so much, I'd honestly donate a couple bucks to help finance this...
on June 20th, 2012 at 12:00:59 PM
Jim is done. He should have transitioned more into dramatic roles when he dabbled into them.
on June 20th, 2012 at 1:34:05 PM
^he was too busy dabblin Jenny Mcarthy and Lauren Holly.
Now hes all Tai Chi and Yoga'd out
He's gone and unless he starts c*mmin on Kate Uptons back,hes not comin back
on June 20th, 2012 at 2:43:45 PM
Awesome decision, Carrey, forsaking the very role that threw your tired annoying schtick into the stratosphere, but hey, I guess all those other roles you've taken over the last several years are working out for you, huh?
"Without Carrey there's obviously no movie."
You overestimate Hollywood, WP. Expect them to recast Arnie Hammer, or some other bland hack, in the role.
on June 20th, 2012 at 4:23:59 PM
Hopefully this gets somebody fired and others to take notice. The original is one of the greatest comedies of all time.
on June 20th, 2012 at 10:28:44 PM
"[Carrey] had grown increasingly frustrated by Warner Bros' lack of enthusiasm by the project."
What did he expect?! Your only as good as your box office returns & he has to realize, he's made duds like YES, MAN, I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS, and MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS!!
And HE'S FRUSTRATED?! I think he's more frustrated at his own movie choices (and a slightly bruised ego)...those last duds are really haunting him now.

50 Great Questions for Teacher Interviews
Whether you need to fill a teaching position or whether you're applying for one, it's worth exploring common questions asked during interviews. Here are 50 questions that help draw out applicants' knowledge, experience, and more.
The interview is an opportunity to get to know an applicant in ways that can't be gleaned from a resume. While an applicant addresses a mix of questions about background, teaching experience, and the "ideal" classroom, the interviewer learns about his or her enthusiasm for teaching and dedication to the profession. For those interviewing for a teaching position, use these questions as guidelines to prepare. See key interview questions below. (Tailor these to the level of the candidate.)
An Interviewer's Handbook
This handbook features a list of 100 interview questions and shares some suggestions about what interviewing practices to implement and common mistakes to avoid.

quote:Great news for the Tigers.
"Know in my heart my time here at LSU is incomplete."
"Being around these guys, great coaches, great teammates... I think the bigger questions is why wouldn't I come back? I mean to be around an atmosphere of guys that you enjoy going out there day to day, practice, games, coming back to finish and get my degree and have a shot at winning at national championship next year"
"For me, I feel like I got so much more potential and room to grow. That's why making this decision wasn't really that hard, because pretty much I wasn't able to max out my potential here. So being able to come back and work on those things with Coach Miles and whoever we bring in is going to be a big deal for me because I get a change to really focus on everything I need to work on."
"I feel like this offensive line is going to be a real great offensive line this year. Last year was our first year really playing together as a whole and I think with another year under out belt, its going to be a great season. To me the game is won in the trenches, so being able to come out and do the thing we are capable of doing then I think we will have a great season"

My dvd rom is going to be a bit too far for a conventional ide cable. So I know I"m going to have to go with a USB to ide converter. My question is power...all the ones I've seen on ebay have a wall plug to as opposed to a cigarette lighter adapter. How do other people that have the USB to ide converter run their power?
No announcement yet.
USB to IDE converter question
Run power from the PC Power Supply to the drive. I used a slimline laptop drive. I tapped into the +5 (use +12 for 3.5" drive) on a molex connector in the trunk. I ran that line to the front dash. Then I just grounded it to the main ground point behind the dash with the rest of the compents in-dash.

Monkey Business:The four Marx Brothers Harpo Chico Groucho and Zeppo head for high-seas hilarity in this classic film comedy. While hiding from the of authorities on a luxury liner the quartet stowaways become bodyguards of rival gangsters with the usual hilarious results. And naturally no woman can resist a shipboard romance with the wily quick-witted Groucho. Written by S.J. Perelman this laugh-filled escape contains some of the Marx Brothers wackiest routines including the famous disembarkation sequence where they all pass themselves off as Maurice Chevalier. Take a madcap vintage voyage with the Marx Brothers where lunacy ride the waves.Horse Feathers:The quintessentail Marx Brothers comedy. Groucho Harpo Chico and yes Zeppo are their manic peak in this uproariously anarchic parady of college life. As the fun-loving president of Huxley College Groucho tries to keep the student body in line while attempting to keep his own body near a flirtatious floozie (Thelma Todd) who is secretly trying to rig the big football game between Huxley and arch rival Darwin University. Plot aside and it usually is Horse Feathers contains some of the greatest sequences in movie comedy history including a classic schoolroom shoot-out between Grouch and students Harpo and Chico as well as an unforgettable football game finale. Other gems include each brother offering his personal rendition of Everyone says I love You and speak-easy sequence that will forever give meaning to the word swordfish. The fourth and perhaps funniest Marx Brothers comedy boasts a script by immortal humorist S. J. Perelman sngs by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.Duck Soup:A pointed political satire Duck Soup is the Marx Brothers funniest and most insane film. Groucho is Rufus T. Firefly the hilarious dicator of mythical Freedonia. Harpo and Chico are commisioned as spies by Grouchos political rival the calculating Trentino. The film contains many of the Brothers famous sequences: the lemonade stand a masterpiece of slow burn: the Paul Revere parody; the Were Ging To War number a beautiful spoof of 30s musicals; the hilarious mirror and final battle episode that has been copied by everyone from Woody Allen to Mad Magazine.

Yup, that's all.

His line...OMG. About "it's the quality of their conviction, not the number of their followers" or whatever the f**k it was. I was freaking out to much at Remus speaking to really hear it clearly (laughing smiley) But Jesus. So hot.
And then Kingsley says, "Who said that?" And I was like, "He did!" And then Remus said, "I did."
Oh. And Harry's line about, "We plan, we get there, and then all hell breaks loose." (laughing smiley)
The music in PS and CoS kinda hasn't been used in films since but I LOVE it. To me it sums up Harry Potter. And I said, I wanted them to use that music at the end of DH2. And they did. So happy :)
3: The Harry-Voldemort duel should have been in the Great Hall and as was in the book, basically. With cheering at the end and without that rubbishy apparition bit.
And one overall issue. All of this spell stuff, non-verbal spells that all do the same thing. For a start, it would be a lot more interesting if the films used the diversity of spells used in the books. Secondly, HARRY CAN'T DO WORDLESS SPELLS DAMNIT.
The Kreacher meat cleaver scene wouldn't have worked given that they didn't properly show the Kreacher's Tale scene in Part 1. His change of heart was barely shown, let alone explained. So yeah, wish it was in, but then that stems back to Part 1 and how I wish they'd properly explained Kreacher then.
But yeah, I kinda hate nit-picking *giggles*
Apparently they filmed Fred's death but it was deemed too distressing.
On that note I'd LOVE to see Director's Cuts of the later films, where they cut lots out. Especially OotP; apparently 45 minutes was removed from it. That makes it an entirely different film.
The Problem Is Civil Obedience
Howard Zinn
[By the latter part of May, 1970, feelings about the war in Vietnam had become almost unbearably intense. In Boston, about a hundred of us decided to sit down at the Boston Army Base and block the road used by buses carrying draftees off to military duty. We were not so daft that we thought we were stopping the flow of soldiers to Vietnam; it was a symbolic act, a statement, a piece of guerrilla the after. We were all arrested and charged, in the quaint language of an old statute, with "sauntering and loitering" in such a way as to obstruct traffic. Eight of us refused to plead guilty, insisting on trial by jury, hoping we could persuade the members of the jury that ours was a justified act of civil disobedience. We did not persuade them. We were found guilty, chose jail instead of paying a fine, but the judge, apparently reluctant to have us in jail, gave us forty-eight hours to change our minds, after which we should show up in court to either pay the fine or be jailed. In the meantime, I had been invited to go to Johns Hopkins University to debate with the philosopher Charles Frankel on the issue of civil disobedience. I decided it would be hypocritical for me, an advocate of civil disobedience, to submit dutifully to the court and thereby skip out on an opportunity to speak to hundreds of students about civil disobedience. So, on the day I was supposed to show up in court in Boston I flew to Baltimore and that evening debated with Charles Frankel. Returning to Boston I decided to meet my morning class, but two detectives were waiting for me, and I was hustled before the court and then spent a couple of days in jail. What follows is the transcript of my opening statement in the debate at Johns Hopkins. It was included in a book published by Johns Hopkins Press in 1972, entitled Violence: The Crisis of American Confidence.]
I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail and the wrong people are out of jail, that the wrong people are in power and the wrong people are out of power, that the wealth is distributed in this country and the world in such a way as not simply to require small reform but to require a drastic reallocation of wealth. I start from the supposition that we don't have to say too much about this because all we have to do is think about the state of the world today and realize that things are all upside down. Daniel Berrigan is in jail-A Catholic priest, a poet who opposes the war-and J. Edgar Hoover is free, you see. David Dellinger, who has opposed war ever since he was this high and who has used all of his energy and passion against it, is in danger of going to jail. The men who are responsible for the My Lai massacre are not on trial; they are in Washington serving various functions, primary and subordinate, that have to do with the unleashing of massacres, which surprise them when they occur. At Kent State University four students were killed by the National Guard and students were indicted. In every city in this country, when demonstrations take place, the protesters, whether they have demonstrated or not, whatever they have done, are assaulted and clubbed by police, and then they are arrested for assaulting a police officer.
Now, I have been studying very closely what happens every day in the courts in Boston, Massachusetts. You would be astounded-maybe you wouldn't, maybe you have been around, maybe you have lived, maybe you have thought, maybe you have been hit-at how the daily rounds of injustice make their way through this marvelous thing that we call due process. Well, that is my premise.
All you have to do is read the Soledad letters of George Jackson, who was sentenced to one year to life, of which he spent ten years, for a seventy-dollar robbery of a filling station. And then there is the U.S. Senator who is alleged to keep 185,000 dollars a year, or something like that, on the oil depletion allowance. One is theft; the other is legislation. something is wrong, something is terribly wrong when we ship 10,000 bombs full of nerve gas across the country, and drop them in somebody else's swimming pool so as not to trouble our own. So you lose your perspective after a while. If you don't think, if you just listen to TV and read scholarly things, you actually begin to think that things are not so bad, or that just little things are wrong. But you have to get a little detached, and then come back and look at the world, and you are horrified. So we have to start from that supposition-that things are really topsy-turvy.
And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience. As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem.... Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem. We recognize this for Nazi Germany. We know that the problem there was obedience, that the people obeyed Hitler. People obeyed; that was wrong. They should have challenged, and they should have resisted; and if we were only there, we would have showed them. Even in Stalin's Russia we can understand that; people are obedient, all these herdlike people.
But America is different. That is what we've all been brought up on. From the time we are this high and I still hear it resounding in Mr. Frankel's statement-you tick off, one, two, three, four, five lovely things .~ about America that we don't want disturbed very much. But if we have learned anything in the past ten years, it is that these lovely things about America were never lovely. We have been expansionist and aggressive and mean to other people from the beginning. And we've been aggressive and mean to people in this country, and we've allocated the wealth of this country in a very unjust way. We've never had justice in the courts for the poor people, for black people, for radicals. Now how can we boast that America is a very special place? It is not that special. It really isn't.
Well, that is our topic, that is our problem: civil obedience. Law is very important. We are talking about obedience to law-law, this marvelous invention of modern times, which we attribute to Western civilization, and which we talk about proudly. The rule of law, oh, how wonderful, all these courses in Western civilization all over the land. Remember those bad old days when people were exploited by feudalism? Everything was terrible in the Middle Ages-but now we have Western civilization, the rule of law. The rule of law has regularized and maximized the injustice that existed before the rule of law, that is what the rule of law has done. Let us start looking at the rule of law realistically, not with that metaphysical complacency with which we always examined it before.
When in all the nations of the world the rule of law is the darling of the leaders and the plague of the people, we ought to begin to recognize this. We have to transcend these national boundaries in our thinking. Nixon and Brezhnev have much more in common with one another than - we have with Nixon. J. Edgar Hoover has far more in common with the head of the Soviet secret police than he has with us. It's the international dedication to law and order that binds the leaders of all countries in a comradely bond. That's why we are always surprised when they get together -- they smile, they shake hands, they smoke cigars, they really like one another no matter what they say. It's like the Republican and Democratic parties, who claim that it's going to make a terrible difference if one or the other wins, yet they are all the same. Basically, it is us against them.
Yossarian was right, remember, in Catch-22? He had been accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, which nobody should ever be accused of, and Yossarian said to his friend Clevinger: "The enemy is whoever is going to get you killed, whichever side they are on." But that didn't sink in, so he said to Clevinger: "Now you remember that, or one of these days you'll be dead." And remember? Clevinger, after a while, was dead. And we must remember that our enemies are not divided along national lines, that enemies are not just people who speak different languages and occupy different territories. Enemies are people who want to get us killed.
We are asked, "What if everyone disobeyed the law?" But a better question is, "What if everyone obeyed the law?" And the answer to that question is much easier to come by, because we have a lot of empirical evidence about what happens if everyone obeys the law, or if even most people obey the law. What happens is what has happened, what is happening. Why do people revere the law? And we all do; even I have to fight it, for it was put into my bones at an early age when I was a Cub Scout. One reason we revere the law is its ambivalence. In the modern world we deal with phrases and words that have multiple meanings, like "national security." Oh, yes, we must do this for national security! Well, what does that mean? Whose national security? Where? When? Why? We don't bother to answer those questions, or even to ask them.
The law conceals many things. The law is the Bill of Rights. ;'~ fact, that is what we think of when we develop our reverence for the law. The law is something that protects us; the law is our right-the law is the Constitution. Bill of Rights Day, essay contests sponsored by the American Legion on our Bill of Rights, that is the law. And that is good.
But there is another part of the law that doesn't get ballyhooed- the legislation that has gone through month after month, year after year, from the beginning of the Republic, which allocates the resources of the country in such a way as to leave some people very rich and other people very poor, and still others scrambling like mad for what little is left. That is the law. If you go to law school you will see this. You can quantify it by counting the big, heavy law books that people carry around with them and see how many law books you count that say "Constitutional Rights" on them and how many that say "Property," "Contracts," "Torts," "Corporation Law." That is what the law is mostly about. The law is the oil depletion allowance-although we don't have Oil Depletion Allowance Day, we don't have essays written on behalf of the oil depletion allowance. So there are parts of the law that are publicized and played up to us-oh, this is the law, the Bill of Rights. And there are other parts of the law that just do their quiet work, and nobody says anything about them.
It started way back. When the Bill of Rights was first passed, remember, in the first administration of Washington? Great thing. Bill of Rights passed! Big ballyhoo. At the same time Hamilton's economic pro gram was passed. Nice, quiet, money to the rich-I'm simplifying it a little, but not too much. Hamilton's economic program started it off. You can draw a straight line from Hamilton's economic program to the oil depletion allowance to the tax write-offs for corporations. All the way through-that is the history. The Bill of Rights publicized; economic legislation unpublicized.
You know the enforcement of different parts of the law is as important as the publicity attached to the different parts of the law. The Bill of Rights, is it enforced? Not very well. You'll find that freedom of speech in constitutional law is a very difficult, ambiguous, troubled concept. Nobody really knows when you can get up and speak and when you can't. Just check all of the Supreme Court decisions. Talk about predictability in a system-you can't predict what will happen to you when you get up on the street corner and speak. See if you can tell the difference between the Terminiello case and the Feiner case, and see if you can figure out what is going to happen. By the way, there is one part of the law that is not very vague, and that involves the right to distribute leaflets on the street. The Supreme Court has been very clear on that. In decision after decision we are affirmed an absolute right to distribute leaflets on the street. Try it. Just go out on the street and start distributing leaflets. And a policeman comes up to you and he says, "Get out of here." And you say, "Aha! Do you know Marsh v. Alabama, 1946?" That is the reality of the Bill of Rights. That's the reality of the Constitution, that part of the law which is portrayed to us as a beautiful and marvelous thing. And seven years after the Bill of Rights was passed, which said that "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech," Congress made a law abridging the freedom of speech. Remember? The Sedition Act of 1798.
So the Bill of Rights was not enforced. Hamilton's program was enforced, because when the whisky farmers went out and rebelled you remember, in 1794 in Pennsylvania, Hamilton himself got on his horse and went out there to suppress the rebellion to make sure that the revenue tax was enforced. And you can trace the story right down to the present day, what laws are enforced, what laws are not enforced. So you have to be careful when you say, "I'm for the law, I revere the law." What part of the law are you talking about? I'm not against all law. But I think we ought to begin to make very important distinctions about what laws do what things to what people.
And there are other problems with the law. It's a strange thing, we think that law brings order. Law doesn't. How do we know that law does not bring order? Look around us. We live under the rules of law. Notice how much order we have? People say we have to worry about civil disobedience because it will lead to anarchy. Take a look at the present world in which the rule of law obtains. This is the closest to what is called anarchy in the popular mind-confusion, chaos, international banditry. The only order that is really worth anything does not come through the enforcement ... of law, it comes through the establishment of a society which is just and in which harmonious relationships are established and in which you need a minimum of regulation to create decent sets of arrangements among people. But the order based on law and on the force of law is the order of the totalitarian state, and it inevitably leads either to total injustice or to rebel lion-eventually, in other words, to very great disorder.
We all grow up with the notion that the law is holy. They asked Daniel Berrigan's mother what she thought of her son's breaking the law. He burned draft records-one of the most violent acts of this century- to protest the war, for which he was sentenced to prison, as criminals should be. They asked his mother who is in her eighties, what she thought of her son's breaking the law. And she looked straight into the interviewer's face, and she said, "It's not God's law." Now we forget that. There is nothing sacred about the law. Think of who makes laws. The law is not made by God, it is made by Strom Thurmond. If you nave any notion about the sanctity and loveliness and reverence for the law, look at the legislators around the country who make the laws. Sit in on the sessions of the state legislatures. Sit in on Congress, for these are the people who make the laws which we are then supposed to revere.
All of this is done with such propriety as to fool us. This is the problem. In the old days, things were confused; you didn't know. Now you know. It is all down there in the books. Now we go through due process. Now the same things happen as happened before, except that we've gone through the right procedures. In Boston a policeman walked into a hospital ward and fired five times at a black man who had snapped a towel at his arm-and killed him. A hearing was held. The judge decided that the policeman was justified because if he didn't do it, he would lose the respect of his fellow officers. Well, that is what is known as due process-that is, the guy didn't get away with it. We went through the proper procedures, and everything was set up. The decorum, the propriety of the law fools us.
The nation then, was founded on disrespect for the law, and then came the Constitution and the notion of stability which Madison and Hamilton liked. But then we found in certain crucial times in our history that the legal framework did not suffice, and in order to end slavery we had to go outside the legal framework, as we had to do at the time of the American Revolution or the Civil War. The union had to go outside the legal framework in order to establish certain rights in the 1930s. And in this time, which may be more critical than the Revolution or the Civil War, the problems are so horrendous as to require us to go outside the legal framework in order to make a statement, to resist, to begin to establish the kind of institutions and relationships which a decent society should have. No, not just tearing things down; building things up. But even if you build things up that you are not supposed to build up-you try to build up a people's park, that's not tearing down a system; you are building something up, but you are doing it illegally-the militia comes in and drives you out. That is the form that civil disobedience is going to take more and more, people trying to build a new society in the midst of the old.
But what about voting and elections? Civil disobedience-we don't need that much of it, we are told, because we can go through the electoral system. And by now we should have learned, but maybe we haven't, for we grew up with the notion that the voting booth is a sacred place, almost like a confessional. You walk into the voting booth and you come out and they snap your picture and then put it in the papers with a beatific smile on your face. You've just voted; that is democracy. But if you even read what the political scientists say-although who can?-about the voting process, you find that the voting process is a sham. Totalitarian states love voting. You get people to the polls and they register their approval. I know there is a difference-they have one party and we have two parties. We have one more party than they have, you see.
What we are trying to do, I assume, is really to get back to the principles and aims and spirit of the Declaration of Independence. This spirit is resistance to illegitimate authority and to forces that deprive people of their life and liberty and right to pursue happiness, and therefore under these conditions, it urges the right to alter or abolish their current form of government-and the stress had been on abolish. But to establish the principles of the Declaration of Independence, we are going to need to go outside the law, to stop obeying the laws that demand killing or that allocate wealth the way it has been done, or that put people in jail for petty technical offenses and keep other people out of jail for enormous crimes. My hope is that this kind of spirit will take place not just in this country but in other countries because they all need it. People in all countries need the spirit of disobedience to the state, which is not a metaphysical thing but a thing of force and wealth. And we need a kind of declaration of interdependence among people in all countries of the world who are striving for the same thing.

I did finally get the chance to goof around with this and noticed some odd things. Don't think it is quite ready for prime time. The first thing I tried was using a title that I knew was the name of a song and an album. I simply said said "Play <title>". It gave me a list of four titles to choose from, the first one being what I said so I said "One". That screen disappeared and went back to the map screen (which is what I was on prior to initiating the voice command). The system then told me to "Please choose". Only problem was that it didn't give me any sort of list to choose from. I was still staring at the map screen. After a somewhat awkward silence between me and Sync-lady she finally gave me the "I'm getting impatient" tone and said that both a song and album were detected with that title, which would I like. I said "album" and it started playing the album. Probably should have just done that from the beginning instead of telling me to choose something without telling me or showing me what my choices are.
Another difference in the system is that in all previous versions when I used to tell it to play a song and I had multiple artists that had a song of that same title, it used to give me a list of the different artists in order for me to pick the actual song of that name that I wanted to hear. Now it just starts playing one. Haven't totally narrowed it down yet but it appears it just picks the one by the artist that comes first alphabetically (might be album title alphabetically but so far it appears to be artist). Not a big deal as I can just track-skip one or two times to get to the one I want but just wondering why the change?
Still regularly does the thing where I tell it to "Play song <title>" and it brings up a list of four choices. The first is always the song title I said followed by nothing and the next three are the same song title but followed by artist names, problem being none of those artists have songs of that title. If I tell it to play one of the "fake" ones it says "Sorry, unable to locate song <title> by artist <artist name>." Well of course you can't. It doesn't exist. Why are you throwing up one valid option and three invalid options on the screen and making me select the valid option? Just play the only one that actually exists.
.......here's a lockpick. It might come in handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.

Can You Fall in Love With the BlackBerry Z10?The US launch of BlackBerry's next-generation smartphone, the Z10, which went on sale March 22 at AT&T stores, will not only test whether the company still has enough loyal customers, or whether the company can ever recover from its lost market share. Sales of the new product will also expose whether the company has developed a strong supply chain strategy, which is pivotal to its survival. Will consumers buy the BlackBerry Z10? So far, technology reviewers indicate that the Z10, which will be available for $199.99 on a two-year contract, is a stylish device with a new interface and attractive software features. But many also note that the product does not offer a distinctive "must have" feature that will drive sales or create buzz in the market. Indeed, BlackBerry's problem is one that is common to smartphone manufacturers: The company has fallen victim to the innovation and ingenuity of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). BlackBerry's difficulties in the smartphone market began in 2007 when Apple introduced the iPhone. RIM shot Today, Samsung Electronics Corp. (KRX: 005935) and Apple dominate the smartphone market. Other players such as Nokia (NYSE: NOK) have struggled, and smartphones from Chinese OEMs like Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and ZTE Corp. are competing on price and features in emerging markets. In the meantime, BlackBerry has failed to offer a plethora of apps that users want. Furthermore, newer versions of smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and Google come with enhanced security features for the corporate market, which is where the BlackBerry smartphone once had a loyal following. Projections for the global smartphone market Still, the company is looking to grow market share, and there's still room for improvement. IDC estimates that smartphone vendors will ship a total of 918.6 million smartphones in 2013, up 27.2 percent from the 722.4 million units shipped in 2012. For the forecast period 2013 to 2017, shipment volumes will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0 percent before reaching a total of 1.5 billion units shipped in 2017. According to Ramon Llamas, research manager with IDC's Mobile Phones practice, there will be a strong demand for smartphones during the next four years.
