Emma Stone of “La La Land” won that award, and Dunaway mistakenly read “La La Land” as the winner of best picture.

Baxter loved the role so much he reprised it twice more, in “The Cisco Kid” (1931) and again in “The Return of the Cisco Kid” (1939).Hide Caption 2 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsGeorge Arliss (1930): George Arliss won the best actor Oscar for “Disraeli,” apparently also beating himself since he was nominated for that film and “The Green Goddess.” In the early years of the Oscar, a single nomination could recognize more than one role. However, for reasons not entirely clear, the actor won solely for “Disraeli.” Perhaps it was a glitch on behalf of the academy, or perhaps voters truly preferred his portrayal as the famed British prime minister. The November 1930 awards ceremony recognized work from 1929 and 1930.Hide Caption 3 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsLionel Barrymore (1931): Lionel Barrymore, here with “Min and Bill” best actress winner Marie Dressler, won the best actor Oscar for his work in “A Free Soul.” Barrymore played an alcoholic lawyer whose daughter gets involved with a mobster he helped go free.

Hide Caption 8 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsVictor McLaglen (1936): Victor McLaglen, left, beat out two earlier Oscar winners to claim the best actor prize for “The Informer.” He was up against Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, both nominated for their roles in best picture winner “Mutiny on the Bounty.” McLaglen appears with best actress winner Bette Davis and filmmaker D.W.

Donat earned the honors for his title role as a schoolteacher, beating out some strong performances, including Clark Gable in “Gone With the Wind,” James Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and Laurence Olivier in “Wuthering Heights.”Hide Caption 13 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJames Stewart (1941): After losing the Oscar a year earlier for his iconic role in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” James Stewart received the award playing a reporter who falls for Katharine Hepburn in “The Philadelphia Story.” Stewart and best actress winner Ginger Rogers celebrate their wins at the ceremony held in 1941.Hide Caption 14 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsGary Cooper (1942): James Stewart, right, bestows pal Gary Cooper with the statuette for “Sergeant York.” Cooper nabbed the win over Orson Welles, whose “Citizen Kane” also lost out on the best picture award but has become the epitome of a Hollywood classic.

Luckily, he made it count, winning the best actor prize for his role as an alcoholic writer in “The Lost Weekend.” Ingrid Bergman presents Milland with the prize at the 1946 ceremony.Hide Caption 19 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsFredric March (1947): Fredric March, right, Dana Andrews, center, and Harold Russell struck a chord with postwar audiences as servicemen returning home in “The Best Years of Our Lives.” March picked up his second Oscar for the role.Hide Caption 20 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRonald Colman (1948): Ronald Colman, far right, a star since the silent days, picked up the best actor Oscar as a jealous actor in “A Double Life.” Coleman appears with the year’s other winners at the 1948 ceremony — from left, Darryl Zanuck, producer of best picture “Gentleman’s Agreement,” best actress Loretta Young, best supporting actor Edmund Gwenn and best supporting actress Celeste Holm.Hide Caption 21 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsLaurence Olivier (1949): Laurence Olivier’s commitment to bringing Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” to the screen paid off handsomely at the Oscars.

Hide Caption 30 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsAlec Guinness (1958): British actor Alec Guinness will always be known to “Star Wars” fans as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he had an illustrious career on stage and screen long before the George Lucas blockbuster. After losing an earlier Oscar nomination, he finally won the best actor award as a World War II British officer in “The Bridge on the River Kwai.”Hide Caption 31 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDavid Niven (1959): David Niven, right, joins fellow Oscar winners Burl Ives and Susan Hayward at the 1959 ceremony after winning the best actor award for “Separate Tables.” The actor fought off competition from Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier, both up for “The Defiant Ones”; Paul Newman in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”; and Spencer Tracy in “The Old Man and the Sea.” Hide Caption 32 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsCharlton Heston (1960): Charlton Heston helped “Ben-Hur” to win a record 11 Academy Awards, shutting out Jack Lemmon, James Stewart, Paul Muni and Laurence Harvey as best actor.

He beat out some stiff competition for best actor: Peter O’Toole for “Lawrence of Arabia” and Burt Lancaster for “Birdman of Alcatraz.” Here Peck and his wife, Veronique, attend an Oscar after-party in 1963.Hide Caption 36 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsSidney Poitier (1964): Sidney Poitier became the first African-American to win the best actor Oscar — for his work in “Lilies of the Field.” Poitier had been nominated once before for “The Defiant Ones.” Interestingly, Poitier was the only one of the four acting category winners present at the 1964 ceremony. Hide Caption 37 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRex Harrison (1965): Who didn’t fall in love with “My Fair Lady”? The academy sure did. Rex Harrison took the best actor prize for his role as Henry Higgins at the 1965 ceremony, and the musical won best picture honors, among others. But Audrey Hepburn’s performance has Eliza Doolittle wasn’t even nominated — the Oscar went to Julie Andrews for “Mary Poppins.”Hide Caption 38 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsLee Marvin (1966): Lee Marvin won the Oscar for his comic role in “Cat Ballou” over dramatic heavyweights such as Laurence Olivier in “Othello,” Richard Burton in “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” Rod Steiger in “The Pawnbroker” and Oskar Werner in “Ship of Fools.” Here, Marvin appears with then-girlfriend Michelle Triola in 1966.Hide Caption 39 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsPaul Scofield (1967): Paul Scofield also was up against some heavyweight actors, particularly Richard Burton in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” But Scofield, here with Susannah York, won for his work as Thomas More in the period drama “A Man for All Seasons.”Hide Caption 40 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRod Steiger (1968): Sidney Poitier may have been the star of the detective drama “In the Heat of the Night,” but he was snubbed in the Oscars race. It wasn’t that academy voters didn’t love the movie though: “In the Heat of the Night” won best picture as well as best actor for Poitier’s co-star, Rod Steiger, here holding his Oscar at the 1968 ceremony.Hide Caption 41 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsCliff Robertson (1969): Cliff Robertson’s portrayal of a mentally challenged man in the drama “Charly” was enough to bowl over competition such as Peter O’Toole and Alan Arkin.Hide Caption 42 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJohn Wayne (1970): The best actor category was fierce the year John Wayne won the gold for “True Grit.” In only his second nomination, the Hollywood legend beat out newcomers Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in “Midnight Cowboy” as well as Richard Burton in “Anne of the Thousand Days” and Peter O’Toole in “Goodbye, Mr. Chips.” Barbra Streisand congratulates Wayne at the 1970 ceremony.Hide Caption 43 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsGeorge C. Scott (1971): “Patton” features one of the most readily recognizable images in films — that of George C. Scott’s general standing in front of the American flag — and it was as critically acclaimed as it was popular. But while “Patton” nabbed the best picture title and a best actor Oscar for Scott, the actor was having none of it. He refused to accept the prize, calling the politics surrounding the ceremony “demeaning” and likening the Oscars to a “two-hour meat parade.”Hide Caption 44 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsGene Hackman (1972): Everyone wanted in on “The French Connection,” and star Gene Hackman was rewarded handsomely with the best actor award at the 1972 ceremony. Hide Caption 45 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsMarlon Brando (1973): An Oscar is an honor most stars would never refuse, but Marlon Brando did when the academy bestowed him with the best actor prize for “The Godfather” at the 1973 ceremony. Brando, who had won the award once before, said he was protesting the portrayal of Native Americans on TV and in film.Hide Caption 46 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJack Lemmon (1974): The academy loved to nominate Jack Lemmon, but it wasn’t always so quick to give him the prize. The star’s luck changed when “Save the Tiger” earned him a best actor Oscar. Hide Caption 47 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsArt Carney (1975): For Art Carney, there were two phrases that helped him secure the best actor Oscar for “Harry and Tonto.” “Do it! You are old,” words of wisdom that came from his agent. Hide Caption 48 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJack Nicholson (1976): After losing out four times as an Oscar nominee, Jack Nicholson triumphantly claimed his prize for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Hide Caption 49 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsPeter Finch (1977): “Network’s” Peter Finch faced some tough competition for the best actor award. He was up against Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver” and Sylvester Stallone in best picture winner “Rocky” as well as his “Network” co-star, William Holden. Finch died two months before the March 1977 ceremony and became the first actor to win an Oscar posthumously.Hide Caption 50 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRichard Dreyfuss (1978): John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever” and Woody Allen in “Annie Hall” have become prime examples of characters in ’70s films, but Richard Dreyfuss’ performance as a struggling actor in “The Goodbye Girl” stood out the most to academy voters at the time. Here the actor accepts his prize at the 1978 ceremony.Hide Caption 51 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJon Voight (1979): Jon Voight had been nominated for a best actor Oscar once before for 1969’s “Midnight Cowboy,” but it was the Vietnam War drama “Coming Home” that finally earned him the honors.Hide Caption 52 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDustin Hoffman (1980): Like Jack Nicholson before him, Dustin Hoffman was forever the bridesmaid and never the bride. But after losing for “Midnight Cowboy,” “The Graduate” and “Lenny,” Hoffman got to accept the award at the 1980 ceremony, thanks to his work in best picture winner “Kramer vs. Kramer.”Hide Caption 53 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRobert De Niro (1981): Robert De Niro faced movie greats such as Peter O’Toole and Jack Lemmon in the best actor category. De Niro had already won the best supporting actor Oscar for “The Godfather: Part II,” and academy voters couldn’t help but hand him the best actor prize for “Raging Bull” — especially since he gained nearly 60 pounds to play Jake LaMotta as an aging boxer. Hide Caption 54 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsHenry Fonda (1982): After being a movie legend for more than 40 years, Henry Fonda won his first competitive Oscar for “On Golden Pond.” His co-star, Katharine Hepburn, also shined in the movie as his wife, picking up her fourth best actress prize. Hide Caption 55 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsBen Kingsley (1983): Ben Kingsley’s portrayal in “Gandhi” was the performance to beat in that year’s best actor Oscar race, and neither Dustin Hoffman in “Tootsie” nor Paul Newman in “The Verdict” could compete. Hide Caption 56 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRobert Duvall (1984): Robert Duvall won the best actor prize for his performance as a country singer in “Tender Mercies.”Hide Caption 57 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsF. Murray Abraham (1985): F. Murray Abraham’s performance as Salieri in “Amadeus” rocked academy voters, who named him best actor.Hide Caption 58 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsWilliam Hurt (1986): “Out of Africa” dominated the Oscars at the 1986 ceremony, but William Hurt picked up the best actor award for his portrayal of a gay imprisoned man in “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”Hide Caption 59 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsPaul Newman (1987): Paul Newman’s performance in “The Color of Money” struck Oscar gold. It was the actor’s first competitive Oscar win, but he wasn’t there to accept it — he’d joked that, after showing up and losing six other times, he might finally nab the prize if he stayed away. Hide Caption 60 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsMichael Douglas (1988): Gordon Gekko’s creed of greed was very, very good to Michael Douglas. The star — and son of another frequent Oscar nominee, Kirk Douglas — earned his first Oscar nomination and first win for best actor for his role as the ruthless corporate raider in “Wall Street.” Here Douglas appears with Marlee Matlin at the 1988 ceremony.Hide Caption 61 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDustin Hoffman (1989): Awards came pouring in for “Rain Man” with Dustin Hoffman, left, as an autistic savant and Tom Cruise as his younger brother. Hoffman picked up his second best actor Oscar and received congratulations from Cruise at the 1989 ceremony. Cruise wasn’t even nominated, but he was probably just fine with starring in the best picture winner.Hide Caption 62 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDaniel Day-Lewis (1990): Before Daniel Day-Lewis became so revered he could strike fear in the hearts of Oscar competitors, the British performer proved his mettle with the biopic “My Left Foot,” earning his first best actor Oscar. It was no easy task: Day-Lewis was up against Morgan Freeman in “Driving Miss Daisy,” Kenneth Branagh in “Henry V,” Tom Cruise in “Born on the Fourth of July” and Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society.”Hide Caption 63 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJeremy Irons (1991): We suppose the academy couldn’t justify giving Kevin Costner the best director, best picture and the best actor prize for “Dances With Wolves,” so Jeremy Irons took home the statuette for best actor for his role as Claus von Bülow in “Reversal of Fortune.”Hide Caption 64 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsAnthony Hopkins (1992): Anthony Hopkins absolutely killed as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs,” so it wasn’t surprising that he secured the best actor Oscar for the role.Hide Caption 65 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsAl Pacino (1993): Before “Scent of a Woman,” Al Pacino had been nominated for best actor four times and best supporting actor twice without winning. But the star’s moment to accept the best actor Oscar finally came at the 1993 ceremony. Pacino may have won for “Scent of a Woman,” but he also lost that year in the best supporting actor category for “Glengarry Glen Ross.”Hide Caption 66 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsTom Hanks (1994): Little did anyone know that when Tom Hanks won the best actor Oscar for the legal drama “Philadelphia” he’d be back at the Oscars very soon, and in a very different role. Hide Caption 67 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsTom Hanks (1995): Tom Hanks proved his versatility when he won the best actor Oscar for the second year in a row. His prize this time was for his performance as the mentally challenged but indefatigable “Forrest Gump.”Hide Caption 68 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsNicolas Cage (1996): Nicolas Cage may now be the butt of Internet jokes — surely you’ve seen him swing from a “Wrecking Ball”? — but he was the man to beat at the 1996 Oscar ceremony. Cage won the best actor prize for “Leaving Las Vegas,” his first nomination and first win.Hide Caption 69 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsGeoffrey Rush (1997): Some actors languish as nominees for years before winning an Oscar, but Geoffrey Rush won the best actor prize on his first try with “Shine.” Hide Caption 70 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJack Nicholson (1998): By now, everyone knew what a powerhouse Jack Nicholson was, but he reminded moviegoers again with “As Good as It Gets,” picking up yet another best actor Oscar.Hide Caption 71 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRoberto Benigni (1999): Italian actor Roberto Benigni was unknown to American audiences before “Life Is Beautiful,” but he stole the show at the 1999 Oscars ceremony. The academy gave him the best actor Oscar for “Life Is Beautiful,” which also won the prize for best foreign-language film. Hide Caption 72 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsKevin Spacey (2000): “American Beauty” was a cynical look at American middle class life with a new century arriving. Star Kevin Spacey received the best actor award for his portrayal of a middle-aged man who lusts after his teenage daughter’s friend. The film also won best picture, director (Sam Mendes) and original screenplay (Alan Ball).Hide Caption 73 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsRussell Crowe (2001): The academy fawned over Russell Crowe’s “Gladiator,” a sword and sandals epic that picked up honors for best picture, best costume design, best sound, best visual effects and best actor — the first win for the Australian Crowe. Hide Caption 74 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDenzel Washington (2002): Denzel Washington has a reputation as a nice guy in Hollywood, so his transformation into the monstrous detective Alonzo in “Training Day” was incredible to watch. After already winning a best supporting actor statuette for “Glory,” Washington took home the best actor award for “Training Day,” making him the first African-American to win both. Hide Caption 75 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsAdrien Brody (2003): Adrien Brody appeared so thrilled when he won best actor award for “The Pianist” he even got Oscar presenter Halle Berry caught up in the moment with a passionate kiss at the 2003 ceremony. “I bet they didn’t tell you that was in the gift bag,” he joked when he finished. It was his first nomination and win. Hide Caption 76 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsSean Penn (2004): The Oscar race for best actor was a tough one when Sean Penn faced off with Jude Law for “Cold Mountain” and Bill Murray for “Lost in Translation,” among others. In the end, it was Penn’s work in “Mystic River” that earned him his first Academy Award.Hide Caption 77 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJamie Foxx (2005): Before “Ray,” Jamie Foxx was known primarily as a comedian — the kind who would star in a popcorn flick like “Booty Call.” But after his portrayal of singer Ray Charles in a musical biography, people realized he had been underestimated as an actor. The academy started paying attention, too, and gave Foxx two nominations for the 2005 ceremony: one for best actor for “Ray” and another for best supporting actor for “Collateral.” He didn’t win in the best supporting category, but we bet he’s been able to live with that loss. Hide Caption 78 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsPhilip Seymour Hoffman (2006): Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s portrayal of writer Truman Capote in “Capote” was the kind of rock-solid immersion audiences had come to expect from the actor. He got his due with the best actor award — his only Oscar. Hide Caption 79 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsForest Whitaker (2007): Until “The Last King of Scotland,” Forest Whitaker had been completely overlooked by the academy. But after he turned in a masterful portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, academy voters handed him the Oscar.Hide Caption 80 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsDaniel Day-Lewis (2008): If Daniel Day-Lewis is in the running, chances are there will be an award for him. The actor won his second best actor Oscar for “There Will Be Blood.” He receives the award from Helen Mirren at the 2008 ceremony.Hide Caption 81 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsSean Penn (2009): Sean Penn, here with best actress Kate Winslet, left, and best supporting actress Penelope Cruz, gave the performance of a lifetime as openly gay politician and activist Harvey Milk in “Milk.” The academy rewarded Penn with his second best actor Oscar at the 2009 ceremony. Hide Caption 82 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsJeff Bridges (2010): Jeff Bridges was understandably ecstatic when he won the best actor Oscar for “Crazy Heart.” Bridges had been nominated four times before, and, with competition from George Clooney in “Up in the Air” and Jeremy Renner in “The Hurt Locker,” his wasn’t an obvious win. So when his name was called at the 2010 ceremony, Bridges relished the moment in his acceptance speech: “Thank you, mom and dad, for turning me on to such a groovy profession,” he said.Hide Caption 83 of 93 Photos: Oscar-winning best actorsColin Firth (2011): Colin Firth’s portrayal of King George VI’s fight to overcome a speech impediment beat out Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”) and James Franco (“127 Hours”), among others, to win the best actor Oscar.

It was 20 years ago on Monday (November 18th) thatNirvana taped its appearance on MTV Unplugged, with the results being perhaps that program’s greatest segment and a live album considered by many to be among the top concert recordings in the history of rock. According to Yahoo! Music, the show came off without a hitch despite coming close to being a disaster or never even happening at all, due to frontman Kurt Cobain‘s arguments with MTV and his bandmates, as well as his worsening health and addiction problems.
Cobain and drummer Dave Grohl were not getting along during the rehearsals, with Cobain continually asking Grohl to play his parts softer.
Grohl recalled in 2006, “In rehearsal, we would do a song, and Kurt would turn to me and say, ‘Hey, do you think you could play it a little bit lighter?’ . . . So we’d do another take, and he’d turn around and go, ‘Could you bring it down just a little bit more?’ And we’d do another take, and he’d say, ‘You know what, just still, could you bring it down?’ And I was like, ‘Should I even f***ing be here?'”
MTV apparently freaked out when the network learned that half the set was going to be obscure cover songs and that the band would not perform “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which it had not played live for nearly two years at that point.
The MTV brass was not taken with the band’s selection of guests either. Producer Alex Colettirecalled, “They wanted to hear the ‘right names’ — Eddie Vedder or Tori Amos…But when I said ‘theMeat Puppets,’ it was kind of like, ‘Oh, great. They’re not doing any hits, and they’re inviting guests who don’t have any hits to come play. Perfect.'”
Cobain told MTV the day before the show that he was canceling the taping, but then relented. An MTV exec said, “He did it just to get us worked up. He enjoyed that power.”
A dress rehearsal several hours before the taping went so badly, however, that MTV execs wondered if they should have let Cobain cancel after all.
According to Cobain biographer Charles Cross, Cobain was also suffering from gastrointestinal problems and heroin withdrawal, and had been “vomiting bile and blood.”
Despite all the problems beforehand, the taping went off without a hitch — with Coletti later recalling, “With most Unpluggeds, we tend to run through the set, have a chat, and then do a few songs over again. But this was truly one take — every song, straight through, in one hour . . . this was really tight — something like 56 minutes from start to finish.”
Bassist Krist Novoselic later said, “Doing MTV Unplugged was a lot of fun…It was a Nirvana triumph, but it’s also Nirvana Lite. But it was cool that we managed to pull it off.”

The company owes much of its success to advances made by John Carmack, its 31-year-old lead programmer and cofounder who has been programming games since he was a teenager.
Back in the late 1980s, the electronic gaming industry was dominated by dedicated video game consoles. Most game software was distributed in cartridges, which slotted into the consoles, and as a consequence, writing games required expensive development systems and corporate backing.The only alternative was home computer game programming, an underworld in which amateurs could develop and distribute software. Writing games for the low-powered machines required only programming skill and a love of gaming. Spectrum bekeek de geschiedenis van id software.

Councillors unite to support Save the Alex motion
2:30pm Friday 20th July 2012 in Local
BROMSGROVE councillors put politics aside to unanimously pass a motion showing their support for the Save The Alex campaign.
As part of a huge shake up of hospital services the Alexandra Hospital could lose its accident and emergency department, other services, or simply end up being closed.
The motion was proposed by opposition leader, Labour councillor Peter McDonald, at the latest full council meeting on July 18.
It states the council fully support the community-led campaign, totally opposed to the closure of the A & E and maternity service, at the Redditch-based hospital.
It requests Heath Minister Andrew Lansley MP meet the leaders of Bromsgrove, Redditch and Stratford-on-Avon councils, who will argue the case.
It also stresses the council will vigorously represent the council’s position to health chiefs, and push for alternatives to be pursued that could safeguard the hospital’s services.
Presenting the motion to the chamber, Coun McDonald described the proposals as “outrageous” and said the reasons behind them that he had heard, “saddened him”.
Coun McDonald said: “People are living longer. Are they saying we don’t have the right to enjoy quality of life?
“These proposals have set tremors through the populations of Bromsgrove, and Redditch.”
At one point there was doubt whether his motion would be passed as leader of the council, Councillor Roger Hollingworth, said he disagreed with a line which stated the potential loss of services was because going forward the NHS has a lot less money.
Coun Hollingworth argued this was wrong because, in absolute terms, there was more money in the NHS not less.
Coun McDonald said the motion was too important an issue to get bogged down in politics, so agreed to drop the lines on which there was not full agreement.
After thanking the Labour leader, Coun Hollingworth said: “It is important we do work together on this.
“We are all singing from the same hymn sheet.”


The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said that India has suspended all tourist visas given to Chinese nationals. This move comes in retaliation of Chinese government’s refusal to allow India students to return to the country to continue their studies. More than 20,000 Indian students, who returned home due to Covid-19, are now looking to go back to China to continue their studies.
Despite Indian government having raised the issue several times, the Chinese government is yet to respond. The situation is tough as China has allowed students from Thailand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to return but they have been kept waiting.
Also, 10-years Indian tourist visas are no longer valid, except those given to Except for those given to Japanese and US citizens. However, Chinese nationals continue to be granted business, employment, diplomatic, and official visas in India.
Last month, India restored electronic tourist visa facility for 156 countries. However, citizens of Canada and UK are not permitted to enter India through tourist e-visa. They can still visit the county through regular paper visas issued by Indian missions in those countries.

A group of writers and copyright experts concerned over Authors Guild overreach has formed its own new author advocacy group, the Authors Alliance, to advocate in favor of fair use of works. Publishers Weekly has a fairly long interview with one of its directors, law professor Pamela Samuelson of the UC Berkeley Center for Law and Technology.
(Samuelson’s name has popped up a few times on TeleRead as one of the critics of the proposed Google Books settlement and the Authors Guild’s role in it, and an organizer of the Berkeley Digital Library Copyright Project.)
The Authors Alliance is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group with a board of four directors, a 23-member advisory board, and about 200 founding members. Samuelson describes one of its missions as to provide authors with more information about copyright, license agreements such as Creative Commons (one of the Alliance’s co-founders and directors is also a founding director of Creative Commons), contracts, rights, and the sort of copyright issues that are new to the digital age. She says it is also intended to advocate in public policy debates for authors who want to make their works more widely available, and to reach out to other organizations to work together on specific issues.
Samuelson feels that the Authors Guild “does a great job representing the interests of the authors who subscribe to it,” but that Alliance members are more likely to appreciate the extra exposure Google Books gives their works. She also notes that the Alliance would not have brought the suit against Google that the Authors Guild did.
We think that Google has made Fair Use of these works. We think that the class action lawsuit [the Authors Guild] brought should not be certified as a class because they don’t represent the interests of the majority of the authors whose books were being scanned from the research library collections; most of those books were written by scholars, for scholars.
The advisory board listing reads in part like a who’s who of copyright reform activists, including such luminaries as danah boyd, Cory Doctorow, Joi Ito, Edward Felten, Brewster Kahle, and Lawrence Lessig. Given the number of complaints we’ve heard from those quarters about the Authors Guild’s stances, I’m only surprised they didn’t get a group like this together years ago.
We should indulge in a moment of sympathy for these unfortunate law school professors. Many of them undoubtedly wish more people would read what they’ve written. I can understand that.
Their plight is a terrible one. Having had to read legal documents at various times in my life, I know exactly where the problem lies. Who in their right mind would read a legal brief or a court decision when there was an alternative?
Of course even legal documents are heart-stoppingly exciting in comparison to the regulations and laws about which they are commenting. Requiring prisoners of war to read the latter is a violation of the Geneva Convention ban on torture: “Tell us the top speed of your new fighter, or we’ll make you read again the USDA regulations about “The proper labeling of peanut butter jars.” “Oh no, not that. I’ll do anything you say.”
Only occasionally can legal writing bring a moment of pleasure. About 2002, I was in a copyright dispute with the Tolkien estate’s lawyers. Rightly suspecting they had a weak case against my claims of fair use, they attempted to assert plagiarism, offering a long list of trite similarities that must have cost them thousands of dollars to compile. If I recall right, the list went on for some 40 pages. Many were from books I’d never seen.
I spent about an hour rewriting my book to remove the similarities and then, in a brief paragraph of my response, I stated that, since none of those passages remained the same, the estate’s charges were now irrelevant. It was a rare moment of pleasure in a dispute that stretched on far too long.
Now imagine these members of the Authors Alliance working for weeks on a court filing, knowing that even the judge and opposing counsel are likely to only scan what they’ve sweated over.
That’s the very essence of futile. But it’s not a good argument to alter our copyright laws. Those who want to expand fair use can put a notice to that effect on their copyright page. My latest book allows up to three chapters to be used in a classroom without seeking permission.
–Michael W. Perry, Untangling Tolkien & Lily’s Ride

Please read this post by Mike Deshotels, one of my allies in the fight to protect our children, our teachers and our public education system. He details a private meeting among folks that see our children as nothing more than “Human Capital.” This is actually a department John White created at LDOE to describe teachers but it just as easily can be used to describe how these folks feel about our students. He even built a data system around this belief that we are not people, not individuals, just Human Cattle, er, I mean, Capital.
They don’t see children and parents as people, they see children as raw materials, and parents as “obstacles” to be overcome.
A small private meeting was held in Baton Rouge a couple of weeks ago including representatives of several highly influential power brokers who are dedicated to a major overhaul and privatization of our K-12 education system. These groups were very concerned that much of the Jindal reform legislation has either been declared unconstitutional by the courts or is still tied up in litigation. They are frustrated that the supporters of our public education system are fighting back against their sweeping “reforms”. They figure that they have only the rest of the Jindal administration in which to push through revisions of the law that will keep their reforms intact.
Groups that were engaged were LABI, CABL, BAEO, Stand for Children, New Schools for Baton Rouge, voucher and charter schools.
Stand for Children, LaBAEO, and New Schools for Baton Rouge were all groups created for reformers recruited to the LDOE to form pseudo parent groups to fool parents and educators into believe these initiatives are community and parent driven, when actually the opposite is true. They are all funded by out of state interests like the Walton Foundation, Gates, etc.
- Stand for (on) Children: Rayne Martin
- BAEO/LaBAEO: Kenneth Campbell
- New Schools for Baton Rouge: Chris Meyer
These folks all represent out of state interest, business interests, and opportunists, but now parents. They are meeting in secret to try and figure out how to deal with us.
As you can see from this new letter about Common Core from LDOE, Stand for Children has been playing the part of the shill for DOE policies and support for Common Core Curriculum and PARCC. This is the community involvement they claimed that made, but this is their own people!
Read this summary of Rayne Martin from Kathy on Diane Ravitch’s blog.
Stand for Children now has a chapter in Louisiana. They are making themselves more visible through the leadership of Rayne Martin. Rayne’s bio includes ties to the Recovery School District and the writing of reforms before joining as the Executive Director of the state chapter.
In 2007 Rayne became the Chief of Staff at the Recovery School District in New Orleans. The RSD, created by legislation, transforms chronically low-performing schools through direct state intervention. A shining beacon of hope, the RSD schools have shown outstanding progress posting double gains in almost every grade and every subject.
Rayne was lead author of the Louisiana Education Reform Plan, a 200-page strategic plan outlining initiatives designed to dramatically improve student academic outcomes statewide by ensuring an effective teacher in every classroom and an effective leader in every school. In 2010 she became the Louisiana Department of Education’s Chief of Innovation, managing a large department responsible for creating reform awareness and building district- and state-level capacity to implement human capital, school turnaround and district support best practices. http://stand.org/louisiana/staff/rayne-martin
If Stand for Children has not been a player in your state, it will. It’s still quite new in Louisiana. Public school supporters hope to be able to muffle their voices, before they can add any more harm to education here that has not yet been done..
You are all being fooled by liars and shills. Do not let the Orwellian named “Stand for Children”, stand for you and your real children. Go to the BESE meetings, go to your local school board meetings, go to your legislators and demand to have your voices heard.
