...best film, Slumdog was the choice of the NBR and the D.C. crowd, Milk in New York and, in L.A., Pixar's summer hit WALL-E (which won for Animated film in the other groups). Best directors were David Fincher for Benjamin Button (NBR), Danny Boyle for Slumdog (D.C. and L.A.) and Mike Leigh for Happy-Go-Lucky (New York). Screenplay prizes were allotted to Slumdog, Benjamin Button, Happy-Go-Lucky, Rachel Getting Married and Gran Torino. Art-house habituées may wish to know that Man on Wire was judged best documentary by all four groups (the only...

Part of his responsibilities included maintaining a database of patients who had been treated by the hospital's radiology department using Image Guided Foreign Body Removal, a technique that was developed by Shiels during his Army days to help remove foreign objects like shrapnel from soft tissue. Shiels' method was less invasive than surgery, which often requires an incision of 2 to 3 inches and can lead to damage in surrounding...

Currently, in most African countries, roughly 95 percent of the population is without access to electricity, according to the 2006 World Bank Millennium Goals Report. “Everybody was happy for it because it?...
...would come with some thick biddies, but that April I found myself taking my mother to the prom again. Of course, she ended up leaving in a limo with the Quiz Bowl Team’s buzz-in champion, Eddie “Fast” Fingers. Again.

The horror. The horror. Freshman year, after I became well known...
