Original Home Alone Director Is Not Impressed With Disney S Remake

“Nobody got in touch with me about it,” he admitted, adding, “It’s a waste of time as far as I’m concerned.” It’s safe to say Columbus is incredibly uninterested. “What’s the point?” he asked. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t remake films that have had the longevity of Home Alone. You’re not going to create lightning in a bottle again. It’s just not going to happen. So why do it?...

Orionid Meteor Shower Set To Peak After Mars Reaches Maximum Brightness In Sky Tonight

The Orionids are a medium strength meteor shower that is active between October 2 and November 7, with the peak coming on the night of the 20-21, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS.) This year, the moon will be about 23 percent full on the peak night, which means there will be relatively dark skies and, therefore, good viewing conditions—depending on the weather in your location of course....

Orlando Pirates Duo Thamsanqa Gabuza And Thabo Rakhale Linked With Scandinavian Clubs

Pirates coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic refused to reveal the real reason why the Bafana Bafana international was not part of the team. Rakhale, a Bucs fan-favourite, was an unused substitute as the Buccaneers edged out the Citizens 1-0 thanks to Thabo Qalinge’s late goal.

Ornish A Doctor S View Of Torture

“Oh, yes it is,” he replied, causing me to choke on my sushi. “What if some guy abducted your beloved wife and son, had them locked up somewhere with a bomb that was rigged to explode in two hours, and the police captured him. Wouldn’t you torture him to get the information you needed to save their lives?” “I don’t know what I would do,” I replied, “but I’d like to believe that nothing ever justifies torture....

Ornish Meets Edwards To Talk Health Reform

Dean Ornish: You were the first candidate to announce a health plan. Do you think this country is finally ready for universal coverage? John Edwards: I do. I think they’re not only ready for it, I think they’re almost at the point of demanding it. Because health-care costs are completely out of control, there are 45 million people who don’t have coverage. And there are many more than that who are covered but are terrified about losing their coverage, concerned about extraordinary rise in health-insurance premiums and the inability to take their coverage with them if they get laid off or change jobs....

Oscar Scores On Shanghai Sipg Debut

Neymar and Pogba miss out on FIFA World XI The Brazil international made a surprising switch to the Chinese Super League earlier in the month, when he was captured for £60 million from Chelsea, but the 25-year-old attacker has hinted he will justify his £20m-per-year wages by netting on his first appearance for the club. With the game scoreless, he came off the bench in the second period and was quick to make an impression when he broke the deadlock with a sweeping finish after a poor clearance....

Osman Bukari Mimics Cristiano Ronaldo Siuuu Celebration In Portugal Vs Ghana As Cr7 Watches On

Our Guide To Congressional Hearings On Hp

It was classic data-mining: Dunn’s consultants weren’t actually listening in on the calls—all they had to do was look for a pattern of contacts. Dunn acted without informing the rest of the board. Her actions were now about to unleash a round of boardroom fury at one of America’s largest companies and a Silicon Valley icon. That corporate turmoil is now coming to light in documents obtained by NEWSWEEK that the Securities and Exchange Commission is currently deciding whether to make public....

Our National Dessert

But why Jell-O? And why us? Jell-O first won hearts and minds for its ease of preparation a quality much in demand wherever women are insecure about their cooking. The advertising addressed this issue almost from the start. “How often some ingredient is forgotten or not rightly proportioned and the dessert spoiled.” ran a 1904 ad. “This will never occur if you use Jell-O.” Second, Jell-O is always and surpassingly sweet, which is the way most Americans like most foods to taste....

Our Next Ed Secretary Must Focus On Quality Choice For Minority Students Opinion

Now, he needs to stand up for us. President-elect Biden’s secretary of education pick is critical to the future of Black and Brown families. The next education secretary will inherit a once-in-a-lifetime challenge to reset the education system for more than 50 million children after the COVID-19 pandemic. The secretary’s decisions will determine whether 2020 amounts to anything more than a lost year for students. Now more than ever, we can’t accept the status quo and can’t allow special-interest politicking to undermine the needs of Black and Brown parents—the very constituency that got Biden elected....

Out At The Prom

After escorting his date into the balloon-enhanced splendor of the Baker High School prom, he enjoyed a night that he later described as “absolutely amazing.” “We danced, ate chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate chip cannolis, and drank lots and lots of soda,” he reported. Yet unlike the other boys at the dance, the date on his arm was not a winsome girl in a graceful dress, but Misko Lencek-Inagaki, a boy in a black tux and silver bowtie....

Out Of The Line Of Fire

Paying benefits to America’s former servicemen and -women – including to people like Walker and Fox whose ailments aren’t war-related – now costs $38 billion a year. That’s a big-ticket item, even for the Feds. But at a time when Washington is desperately seeking spending cuts, the mere suggestion that taxpayers can’t afford such a high veterans’ tab summons one of the country’s most effective lobbies into action. Just ask the House Appropriations Committee....

Outposts Of Apartheid

South Africa officially desegregated its public facilities three months ago. But you would never know it in Bethal, an all-white farm town 95 miles southeast of Johannesburg. The town hall and traffic departments still have separate entrances marked “Whites Only” and “Non-Whites.” And to discourage blacks from using Bethal’s only public library, the town council introduced a $200 annual membership fee for “non-residents.” Twice in recent months the council cut off water, electricity and sewage services to the nearby black township of eMzinoni, claiming that residents owed $500,000 in unpaid public-utility bills....

Ovarian Suppression Therapy Uses Precautions And Side Effects

Ovarian suppression therapy can be either permanent (via surgical removal of the ovaries) or temporary (via the use of medications). The most common side effects are related to the temporary or permanent menopause that is created, including hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Long term, potential risks ranging from osteoporosis to heart disease need to be considered. Recent guidelines are placing greater emphasis on the use of ovarian suppression therapy for women who have a significant risk of recurrence, as the treatment (when combined with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor) is associated with both a lower risk of recurrence and improved survival....
