...first-ever Razzies ceremony - a truly improvised affair - took place in 1980. Wilson had recently completed film school at UCLA and accepted a job with a movie trailer company, where he worked on various films' media campaigns. The company had sponsored a film festival that year, and Wilson found himself forced to watch around 250 movies slated for competition. "When you see that many movies, the odds do not favor the stuff that the Oscars or Globes are talking about," he says, looking back on the hundreds of hours he spent wading through mediocrity. "The odds favor the opposite...
...times is left more susceptible to a slew of other injuries, including another concussion. A second blow to the head could lead to more arterial constriction and more calcium infusions. "Concussion produces an energy crisis in the brain," says David Hovda, director of the Brain Injury Research Center at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. "A second concussion will cause such an energy demand that it will overwhelm the survival capability of the brain." (See the Year in Health, from...
...list of cuts and shortfalls is almost apocalyptic. According to the UCLA Anderson Forecast, thousands of lost jobs in the public and private sectors will cause California's unemployment rate to leap to 8.5% by the end of 2009 (it was 6.5% in October 2008).

Deductions for each dependent may drop from $309 to $103 on Californians' 2009 income...

That may be why religion doesn't stick once they go off to college: a UCLA study published in 2007 found that undergrads become less observant as they get older, with 44% of incoming freshmen attending religious services frequently, compared with just 25% of juniors. At the same time, however, religion becomes more important to them, with 50% of juniors saying a spiritual life is very...
...gained an at-large selection, but was upset by Central Connecticut State in the first round. In 2006, the Crimson got past the opening round, defeating Binghamton 2-1. But that would be as far as the team would get, as Harvard was soundly beaten by eventual runners-up UCLA in the second round.This year will be no less difficult. The Minutemen will be the favorites when the two teams take the field tomorrow. After winning the Atlantic-10 regular season title, Massachusetts will be looking for a repeat of its tournament run in 2007 that ended with a trip...
