Seems the trend lately at the Oscars is to share the love and pass out the golden boy to a variety of nominated films. When was the last sweep of awards for one film? I guessed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) and looked at Wikipedia and IMDb for quick answers. Many award results I remembered, but some I did not know. Here are some Oscar wins trivia I pulled and thought I'd share.
There are only three films that have won 11 Academy Awards.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) won all 11 categories for which it was nominated: Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Original Score, Original Song, Sound Mixing, Art Direction, Makeup, Costume Design, Film Editing, and Visual Effects.
Walt Disney won 22 Oscars. He also won the most Oscars in one year, with four in 1954.
Can you guess how many Oscars these greats won?
Answers: 1. 6; 2. 5; 3. 5; 4. 4; 5. 7; 6. 4; 7. 4; 8. 2; 9. 2; 10. 0.
Time to sit back, pop the cork to some bubbly, and see who wins.
A perfectly timed post, Cindy. I'm curious to see what unfolds tonight with some of the quieter films up for awards. And for some reason, I keep thinking that Meryl has won a bucketload more than just 3. Here's hoping it's an entertaining show.
Yes, she's been nominated now 16 times but only won 3. That's enough.
Oh, Good! I thought there would have been more films that swept the evening than just three. West Side Story won 10 in 1961. On the Waterfront won 8. I'm surprised that The Godfather only won 3.
Great post. I knew Hitchcock didn't get any. Lot of snobbery I guess.
His legacy surpassed voter opinions. He was nominated 5 times (Psycho, Rear Window,Spellbound, Rebecca, and Lifeboat). He was awarded in 1968 an Oscar for the "oops, you should have won at some point" Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
Yeah, totally. He really was an auteur of the highest calibre. I even did two quizzes of films that didn't even get nominated for an Oscar -Modern and Classic. You would not believe some of the ones on there!
What will you be eating while watching it btw?
What a great way of describing it. How did the cake turn out?
What did you think of Patrick Harris as host?
I was bored. The opening number was fine, funny even, with Jack Black balancing out the sugar of moving pictures. Then it went down hill except for Julie Andrews and great seeing Shirley MacLaine. My favorite host lately was Hugh Jackman. There was one year I loved it when veteran stars sang the praises to the nominated. That stuck out with me. How about you?
On UK time so not seen any of it yet. I didn't like Patrick Harris in Gone Girl. From what I've read, he didn't do a great job as host. Shame, as there was plenty of material to work with this year.
You are lucky if you recorded it–fast forward it. Twas boring until it was time to announce the Big Six.
HItchcock was awesome. I've seen "Vertigo," "Rebecca," and "North by Northwest" (to name a few of his films) countless times.I can't understand why he didn't win an Oscar. He should have won many. On the other hand, I can't understand why Jack Nicholson won three Oscars or why "Titanic" won any. Hollywood politics, I guess. Daniel Day Lewis won me over years ago when he starred in "My Left Foot." I think he's one of the most versatile actors around.
Great stuff Cindy! So much fun reading it before the big show! Enjoy it tonight!
Thanks, my friend. You, too!
During the last week, I've been suffering from the flu – but during that time, I discovered the joys of Netflix. I have been doing my own TCM / Robert Osborne thing: putting together movie collections to watch. 😀 Loving it! This past week has been an Audrey Hepburn salute. I've watched 'Charade,' 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' 'My Fair Lady,' 'Funny Face' – and an especial favorite – 'Sabrina' with Audrey, Bogie and William Holden.
Thank God for films! They inform, they delight, they amuse, the move us. Happy Oscar Night!
You're awesome, Kate. What a fine way to find the silver lining and make your uncomfortable days endurable. I thank you, dear lady!
Thanks, Rob! Quite a few legends, past and present, have been nominated several times, and eventually pull off a win. But to win more than twice seems downright impossible.
Five individuals have won back to back Oscars. Luise Rainer was the first, in 1936 and 1937. Spencer Tracy won the lead acting Oscar two years in a row, 1937 and 1938. Katharine Hepburn won the Lead Actress Oscar two years in a row in 1967 and 1968, and then Jason Robards won the Supporting Actor Oscar two years back to back in 1976 and 1977. Most recently, Tom Hanks won back to back Oscars in 1993 and 1994 for PHILADELPHIA and FORREST GUMP. It was nice to see last night Alejandro Inarritu win back to back director wins. 🙂 Did you like the Oscars last night?
Watched Ben Hur recently – inspired work. Will watch any Rings movie again. Pass on that boat tho.
O'toole ? The greatest actor … never to win an Oscar. 8 nominations.
(Is that telling?) shhhhhhh ….
I LOVE all 3 films that won 11 Oscars, yeah it's still a rarity to see a sweep like that. Edith Head is still the reigning Oscar queen w/ EIGHT awards, but her work is incredible! Poor Mr O'Toole, I feel bad for Roger Deakins too, he's still the Susan Lucci of the Oscars.
Your own theater in the basement? Nice. It's interesting how icons cement themselves in your heart. I was surprised there were only three. Somehow over 70 years I thought there would be more sweeps. Edith–she was something! Colleen Atwood has been nominated 11 times–surely she will win one day. But I was happy for the wins Budapest took including Best Costume Design for Milena Canonero….

Cops report three more stolen cars
Peter Yankowski
Published 4:12 pm EST, Friday, November 17, 2017
Ridgefield police are investigating the thefts of three vehicles that were stolen from Nod Road, High Ridge, and Ashbee Lane this past week.
Report of the thefts came from the department's official Facebook page, posted at 1:25 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16.
Police said the cars were stolen overnight hours.
"We would like to remind everyone to lock your vehicles and remove all valuables," the department said in the statement.
"Please report any suspicious activity to the Ridgefield Police Department at 203-438-6531 or dial 911 in the event of an emergency."
The thefts brings the total number of stolen cars in town to 14 for the year — 12 more than were reported in 2016.
Police believe the leap is being caused by a gang of teenagers out of Waterbury who target unlocked cars in affluent towns.

A launch means that the ship leaves dry dock and is lowered on a special platform back into the water, to prepare her for sailing.
…at one point I saw him reach out and touch the marking numbers on the hull of the Morgan, as if he were having a private conversation with her. After all, Quentin has spent more time with her over the last five years than anyone. But he has had a wonderful crew of volunteers and Mystic employees working with him as well, and together they celebrated the work they'd done.
Openings to the water I stopped; I searched for cracks and the wanting parts I fixed: Three sari of bitumen I poured over the outside; To the gods I caused oxen to be sacrificed. -Babylonian, 3rd Millennium BCE.
Sailors don't cry, but they sometimes get caught in the rain of emotion, especially when they are watching the ship they've lovingly restored leave land and touch the ocean she was meant for. It was very serendipitous how a drop of rain touched each man's face as I made this drawing, including Quentin's. I was honored to witness such a personal moment of this very public event, and even more so when Quentin, after the toast, passed the bottle to myself and the other Dalvero artists. Cheers to the Morgan, and bottoms up!
It was still drizzling lightly, but that didn't stop the crowd from gathering to be a part of the momentous occasion. They came by land and by water; there were many little boats and kayaks filled with spectators along the Mystic river. One man I met, Robert Simmons, told me that his father had been there when the Morgan was first towed up the Mystic river to the seaport – this was a generational event, both personally for some of the visitors, and for New England as a whole.
Soon the band struck up a tune, the TV cameras were switched on, the sun came out, and the party began!
All the pomp and circumstance felt a little like DisneyWorld's Liberty Square to me; Ric Burns, the keynote speaker, later said that the event was like "Fourth of July on steroids." Very true! And then, the music stopped, a blessing was said, President Stephen White led the Pledge of Allegiance, and the speechifying began, with simultaneous sign language.
Richard Victor, the Mystic Seaport Chairman, spoke of "the mission, the vision, and the resources" that had brought the Morgan to this point, and then, asked for more of the same to keep the project moving along. Connecticut State Senator Andrew Maynard read an official legal designation that had passed through the Senate, decreeing the Morgan as "a living artifact" and "an ambassador to the whales." Fantastic!
Susan Funk, the Vice-President of Mystic Seaport, got a little emotional and teary while she spoke; I felt the same way. The day was the culmination of a lot of hard work and passion, and as artists who had drawn the entire process, we felt the same passion for her. It was a wonderful occasion but also would be somewhat sad to see the Morgan lowered into the water – she wouldn't belong to any of us any more, she would belong to the ocean, and to the education of future generations.
The governor of Connecticut, Dannel P. Molloy, spoke of not only the Morgan but of what the whaling industry had meant to the development of the United States, something that the artists of Dalvero have covered thoroughly in our exhibit. We felt like part of the family as the governor spoke of the textile industry, the oil industry, and the industrial revolution, and how whaling had influenced them all. Documentary filmmaker Ric Burns also spoke eloquently about the Morgan's meaning in history.
"What does it take to be the last of your kind?" he asked.
Once the speeches were done, it was time for the christening of the Morgan – to be done by Sarah Bullard, the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles W. Morgan. The bottle that she christened the ship with was filled with waters from all the seas the Morgan had sailed in, plus a drop of rum for luck. How poetic, and beautiful.
With Quentin by her side (he had given her instructions earlier) Sarah Bullard christened the ship, a cannon went off – BOOM! -and the lowering began!! The Morgan settled into the water at a rate of one foot per minute – not lightning fast but still, fairly quickly. There were a few more remarks, and a man sang sea shanties, as we watched her begin to sink down into the river.
As she was lowered, all the noise, music, and celebrations fell away when I saw Quentin Snediker watching the numbers on the Morgan's hull dissolve into the water. I recognized that feeling of letting go, having trained so many students over the years. It's a bittersweet moment – you want it to happen, of course, it's what you work for, but at the same time you can't help but feel a bit melancholy over it. It's the same way when you complete any artistic project, and the Morgan was definitely a creative work in progress.
Yet as I overheard Quentin's partner Maureen talk about just that, I saw Quentin back at work, tying the ropes, figuring out how to keep the Morgan from listing, planning what to do the next morning. I had to laugh. I didn't think Quentin would be going to DisneyWorld the next day to celebrate, but maybe sleeping in and having a nice brunch? Nope, just like an artist, back at it the next morning.
Below is a drawing I made of the Morgan the evening before the launch. I wanted to evoke the lives that have been touched by her, both today and in the past, and the journeys she's made. She truly is a living artifact, and as I looked at her on the dry dock, I felt something almost emotional radiating from her hull. Soon she will embark on a new journey, as I hope we will all embark on a new journey with her; and a new relationship with the whales and our environment. I feel personally a little sad that I will never see her up on land again, or sit among the old wooden planks and gnarled tree trunks inside her hull, but I feel honored to have the opportunity to continue my journey as an artist through her. And I'm sure the other Dalvero artists feel the same way. Thank you to Quentin Snediker, Jonathan Shay, Susan Funk and Stephen White, for this great chance to be a part of history.
The Charles W. Morgan, a living artifact at Mystic Seaport.


Not too long ago, I posted a picture on The Parenting Passageway Facebook page about how I taught our seven-year-old (eight years old soon) how to do his own laundry and tossed a picture of our (rather ugly) chore chart up there as well. One of the major questions was how to get children to do chores without whining, complaining, bickering, fighting back, needing a million reminders.
I don't think I have yet discovered that secret, but I do have a few things to share that have helped us over the years….
CHORES ARE JUST PART OF LIFE. For a long time, I didn't even refer to doing household work as "chores." That just sounds so negative to many of us! I referred to it as "taking care of our home" (or our pet, or each other). We do it out of love and gratitude that we are all living together and have a roof over our heads and enough to eat, and it isn't a negotiable thing. We just do it. We are a team, and we take care of each other because that is what living in a family is all about.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CHILD. For children under 7, I don't expect much but weaving in and out of most adult work, being able to assist me with things as part of our daily rhythm (so maybe there is a wood polishing/dusting day, and all the supplies are out and ready. And we do it together! Maybe it is soup day and I have the veggies ready to cut, a cutting board out, etc, and we do it together!).
Self-care is part of "chores" at this age. The average age of a child being able to dress independently is five. So in allowing leeway for deviations above and below the mean, you can see how even this little bit of self-care might not be super realistic for some children. But, I would break things up that I wanted to see a child work toward into baby steps. Maybe it was helping lay clothes out at night. Maybe it was the child can get the shirt on, but needs help with the pants or shoes, etc. and just keep working slowly toward complete success.
We develop good daily habits by using our daily rhythm as mentioned above for things that are nourishing to our home and family, and in picking up the toys before dinner (unless it is a great building project or something!), putting our clothes in the hamper, picking up our room before or after dinner, etc. At this point, it is all routine and habit we are doing together for the more "personal" chores – self-care, taking care of our room.
If you have multiple children under the age of 7, I would divide them into teams so you are dealing with two at one time and not more than two. However, that is just me. I would make sure we were doing things together, and that the expectations were very clear as to what needed to happen – steps before bedtime, cleaning things up, where the supplies are, how to do it, and how to put the supplies away. If there was pushback, I tend to try either imaginative, pictorial talk (put that pumpkin in the wheelbarrow might be an example for putting a shirt into the hamper), or if I am exhausted, it may be more just standing there with me looking at them until they decide to do what they know they are supposed to, or we keep on doing it together if it really is to hard to do it alone. And I really evaluate that. Usually before bed is a generally terrible time to have a lot of expectations, so looking at what time you are expecting things to happen also helps.
Some little boys in particular as not really motivated unless you mention times, or a race, and then they race around to do things in order to beat the clock or what have you.
In First Grade, age 7, I have children do chores but often I am in the same room either doing it with them or sending them off with me watching them and available to help. Maybe I am folding laundry and they are off watering plants in that room or the surrounding rooms. I have shown them the expectations, how to do it, how to clean up the tools needed, and I am available for questions. Hopefully our daily rhythm and doing self-care for so many years has helped develop skills in taking care of self and self-space. I still expect a first grader to need help brushing teeth and bathing and all of that – some need help all the way into being 10! Every child is different, so look at your child, and decide how you can empower them to be capable.
In Second Grade, age 8, I expect more of an ability to get out the tools they need for family cleaning and care on their own and do the chore, but I am still around. A chore chart is a good reminder of what needs to be done. At this point, I do not include things such as dressing, or self-care or even making a bed or picking up a room as part of chores. These are things that happen because it is the right thing to do and the chore chart has things that help the whole family. I usually do include on the chore chart bringing sheets down to be washed, doing laundry, and cleaning of a room on the chart. You could do this any way that you wanted that made sense to you!
For Third Grade, age 9 to age 14, I know that children of this age are highly distractable. If you send them off to do a chore, chances are they will forget what you asked them to do before they even get there. So, my solution to that is to use a chore chart (less ability to argue when it is just what is on the board), pick certain times of the day when chores are done and I am around to help, assist, direct, or remind. I usually pick before lunch and after dinner, because it is easy to remind a child before they sit down to eat and ask if their chores are done and to check those chores out! Did they do it the way I wanted?
For those ages 15-18, I assume the reason chores do not happen is that these teenagers are so busy doing other things. They are engrossed in school work or doing something! So, my fix to this is to use a chore chart, and to make it so I check the chores before they are heading out somewhere else. If the chores aren't done, then they need to take the 15-30 minutes to do the chores and then they can go.
I would love to hear your chore dilemma and how you do things in your house! We all do it differently, and there is no one right way. You will find the best way for your family and your particular children! Chores and caring for our surroundings is our first experience with team work that we need the rest of our lives, so I think it is super important and worth persisting and making the time to teach our children how to do it all.

Thanks, Carrie! This is really helpful. I love what Mary Thienes-Schunemann writes in the intro to "This is the Way We Wash-a-Day" about growing tired of running a country club for her sons! (Before instituting a chore process.) I'm definitely going to adopt your tip of talking about "taking care" of xyz, instead of calling it a "chore." My seven year old cleans with me every morning for 15 minutes or so, and for an hour or so on Saturdays. We love folding laundry together. And I'm so proud of her, she's been doing her own "job" since she was six, of putting away the silverware every day, as well as other dishes in cabinets she can reach.

If You've Had Questions About How Happy Ending Massages Start (and Finish), We Have Answers
Someone who's gotten happy ending massages before explains how it all works.
By Marni Eth
Denise Richards' Happy Ending Revelation Still Has The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reeling
Happy ending massages have been a hot topic ever since The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Denise Richards admitted she encouraged her husband to get one. Despite her castmates insisting their husbands wouldn't dare it, it seems to be a more common occurrence than people think. Take billionaire Robert Kraft for example — he has a beautiful partner, tons of money, and was still getting happy ending massages.
Personal Space spoke to Michael, 32 from Manhattan, who gave the scoop on how the transaction typically goes down.
Personal Space: What made you want to get a happy ending massage?
Michael: To be honest, I was really just bored in my relationship. We had been together for three years at that point and it was something I wanted to try.
PS: Did your partner know about it?
M: Definitely not… I'm single now, but if I wanted to do it again in the next relationship, I would tell the person. I definitely want to be more open and communicative moving forward. Keeping it a secret feels seedier than doing it.
PS: Do you consider it cheating?
M: Not really because you aren't touching the other person and there's no emotional attachment. It's not like you are getting their number after— it's basically just like an extra part of a massage, which isn't considered cheating in itself. I haven't gotten any happy ending massages when I'm single because I'm hooking up with people. So it kind of feels like avoiding that when you are in a relationship...
PS: Would you have been OK with your partner doing it behind your back?
M: I don't know…
PS: How often did you get them?
M: It wasn't like a set routine, but probably every couple of months.
PS: How did you find a place that would do it?
M: Honestly it wasn't that hard. It feels like 90 percent of places I've gone to get massages have sort of offered it. Even national chains — which I won't name. Even fancy hotel spas — it's not just the places you would think…
PS: Is there a secret code to use if you want one— how does it work?
M: If you are getting a massage, they'll sort of touch in that area… if you don't move away and you are giving off vibes that you are interested, they'll probably ask if you want more for more tip.
PS: How much extra would you tip?
M: Usually like $40- $60 — separate from the price of the massage.
PS: Do you think their bosses know they offer it?
M: I'm not sure. Probably half and half, depending on the place.
PS: Did you go to the same place/ person each time?
M: No, I would switch it up. Also, if I was traveling for work, I'd usually get a massage somewhere there.
PS: What is it like?
M: It's a hand-job under the sheet. It's usually towards the end of the massage, but I would prefer if it was done in the middle, but you don't always get to pick and choose… Honestly, though, it's pretty gross. You always feel gross after, or at least, I did. It's a great idea going in, but not so much after.

An assessment of the methods that are used to recruit college students into the Turkish Hezbollah.
This study aims to identify tactics used by the Turkish Hezbollah to recruit college students into joining their terrorist organization. This study based on the assumptions that social networks and institutional structures are two main tools that are used effectively by the Turkish Hezbollah to recruit college educated students. In this sense, the researcher claims that Social Learning theory and Social Control Theories can be used to provide theoretical explanation to the Hezbollah's recruitment strategy. Parallel to these theories assumptions, while having militants within social networks increases the likelihood of being recruited through social learning theory assumptions, college students who are away from their families are more likely to be recruited through social control theory assumptions. The researcher uses individual level secondary data related to members of the Turkish Hezbollah. The data comprised of self reports that each member submitted to the Turkish Hezbollah as part of their recruitment process. The data are derived from the Turkish National Police's database. Initially, frequency table is used to determine which structure and which theory best explain the Turkish Hezbollah's recruitment strategies. Then, to decide which demographic factors increase or decrease the likelihood of being recruited through social networks (social learning theory) or institutional structures (social control theory), logistic regression is used. Eight independent variables are used to identify those factors such as having Hezbollah militants within social networks, pursuing college education while being away from family, family's religious ideology, having online or campus education, family size, income level, college student's religiosity level, and reason for attending Hezbollah. The findings indicated that social networks and institutional structures are two important tools that are used by the Turkish Hezbollah. Social networks are more effectively used structures comparing to institutional structures. According to the results, there are two important variables have more weight on dependent variable comparing to other variables. While having militants within the social networks increases the likelihood of being recruited through social learning theory assumptions, being away from families during college education increases the likelihood of being recruited through social control theory assumptions.


More Home Theater Direct speaker questions: Where made? Mix LIII & LII's?
Discussion in 'Archived Threads 2001-2004' started by Scott H, Aug 7, 2001.
Could someone please inform us where HTD Level III and Level II speakers are manufactured?
Also, I am considering placing Level III bookshelf front mains and a Level III center with Level II rear mains... Does anyone have any input or experiences regarding placing Level III and Level II speakers together?
Don't know where your own speakers were made?
Seriously, if someone would simply look at the back of one of their HTD speaks and post I would really appreciate it.
Taiwan — at least that's what my speakers say.
And I can't speak to the other thing. I have the Level III combo Y.


Taped Mar. 17 in Corpus Christi, Tex.
The next-to-last WWE Smackdown before WrestleMania 25 did not feature Smackdown mainstays Edge and Vickie Guerrero. Nevertheless, John Cena rallied the fans with a passionate WrestleMania promo to set up a match against Big Show on this Monday's final Raw before Mania. This week's Smackdown was missing a sense of urgency being the second-half of a double-header TV taping. Couple that with short TV matches and this was an example of WWE playing it safe nine days before Mania.
-- The show started with the now-typical random Money in the Bank-themed match. C.M. Punk was last man into the ring with the other seven competitors staring up at the MITB briefcase hanging from the ceiling.
Punk rolled out of the ring post-match, then a giant brawl broke out. Christian introduced a ladder into the ring and he started climbing the ladder while everyone else was brawling ringside. Suddenly, Hornswoggle climbed up the ladder to distract Christian. Finlay then tipped the ladder over and Christian crashed to the floor in the waiting arms of some folks. Finlay and Horny stood tall on the ladder.
-- "12 Rounds" plug. I'll have my review of the movie on the site on Saturday.
-- Local Houston promo: Todd Grisham plugged the WrestleMania Axxess schedule. Get up early on Saturday morning for Triple H and JBL. On Saturday night, MVP and Kane will be at Axxess. Apparently they'll be missing part of the Hall of Fame. Grisham brought in a very special guest: Eve. She said she will be at "Diva Hot Spots" to give the fans a chance to hang with the divas. They hugged it out, then Grisham plugged the Rockets vs. Clippers game on Saturday night. Based on Greg Parks's report, the local Houston promo aired in place of a Matt Hardy promo.
(3) Rey Mysterio beat Chavo Guerrero in 6:00. The WCW special opened with Rey pulling out his trademark aerial offense. Ross and Tazz talked about Rey vs. JBL for the IC Title at WrestleMania while Ross presented Rey as the babyface going into Houston. Some really good action in the first five minutes as the men exchanged control. Chavo tried an awkward frog splash, but Rey moved and set up Chavo for the 619. Rey then hit a top rope dive for the pin and the win. Strong match-up with good action. (**) Post-match: JBL suddenly stepped into the ring and smashed Rey with a big boot to the face. After making his point, JBL simply turned and left the ring. Ouch.
-- Raw Rebound: John Cena read his Get Well card to Vickie Guerrero. He's in the building tonight.
-- Back from break, Cena came out to the ring and popped the crowd. Cena said fans have heard from every marquee wrestler in this industry about the importance of WrestleMania. He said 75 trucks will eventually bring the whole Mania feel down the highway to Houston for an event like none other. Cena said the biggest issues of this industry will be solved at Mania. Off-season, schedule, drug dependency, and independent contractor status?! No, the love triangle surrounding the World Hvt. Title, silly!
Cena said even he had to resort to blackmail to get on the Mania card, and for that, he apologizes, but there was no way he would stay off the Mania card. At least they acknowledged that curious aspect of Cena's character and took ownership over it. Cena then entered major promo land and vowed to become World Hvt. champion. Before Cena could wrap it up, Big Show interrupted. Show told Cena to show up on Monday for a fight before Mania. Cena said that doesn't make any sense, but he's on. With the match signed, Show started to leave, but he only got one foot over the top rope as Cena dumped him over the top rope to the floor to embarrass him. Show dropped the strap and showed some fire we haven't seen during this program. Nice. Good set-up for Raw and Mania.
-- Raw Rebound: They re-focused on The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels exchange from Monday when Michaels appeared on the video screen from a graveyard to signify the end of Taker's streak. Tonight: A tribute to Taker from Michaels.
-- Jeff Hardy promo: The camera focused on the top of Jeff's head as he talked about becoming Matt's healer. Jeff threw back his hair to reveal no facepaint. Jeff said Matt took everything away from him, so he'll take everything away from Matt. Jeff said they're brothers no more.
-- Raw Rebound: Orton's Law video package - They focused on Randy Orton taking out Triple H and Stephanie McMahon on Raw last week.
(6) Divas champion Maryse vs. Michelle McCool went to a No Contest in 4:00. The action moved to the floor twice during the match to get over the aggression between the rival divas. Suddenly, Gail Kim entered the ring up top and nailed a missile dropkick on McCool to make an emphatic return to WWE. Ross acknowledged her by name. Gail then grabbed the Divas Title and held it over the fallen competitors to signify she wants the belt. Crowd reaction was decent for someone who hasn't been on WWE TV in several years.
-- Main event segment: Druid music hit, then white-covered druids came to the ring. Kevin Thorn back on the roster as Mordecai? Not quite. Some dramatic music played, then Shawn Michaels appeared on stage dressed completely in white, including a white Undertaker hat. They used a far-away camera shot so they didn't reveal that it was Michaels and not Taker until Michaels entered the ring and took off the hat. Michaels then smiled for the hard camera and quoted scripture from Genesis chapter one. Really uncomfortable incorporating the Bible into WWE storylines, especially after WWE booked Michaels & God in a mock tag match a few years ago.
Michaels said light (himself) and dark (Taker) have co-existed in WWE for 20 years and they have many similarities. Both at the top of their games. Both criticized and praised. Michaels said Taker walks among the shadows while he thrives in the spotlight. Michaels said he has victory over death because he has eternal life. He said the same cannot be said for Taker's undefeated streak. Michaels said he will be victorious in front of 70,000 at WrestleMania.
Michaels then bowed his head toward the mat as the dramatic music played. Michaels's regular music hit and he started dancing, butn Taker popped up through the mat and tried to drag Michaels down below. Taker grabbed Michaels and tried a chokeslam, but Michaels escaped over the top rope and scampered down the entrance ramp out of Taker's clutches. Michaels smirked and Taker did the slow throat-slash gesture before they had a stare down. Michaels played the cocky mid-90s HBK to show he's getting in Taker's head leading to Mania. End show.

A: There are a number of utilities to number lines on Unix, but quite annoyingly they don't do only the basic numbering by default.
nl file is the (Unix/GNU, not POSIX) command to number the lines of a file, but it only numbers non-empty lines by default and processes special footer/header page delimiter by default. To get it to number all lines, you'd need to do:
nl -ba -d '
' text.txt > newfile

(that's a newline character inside single quotes above), but even that doesn't work with some nl implementations.
Among POSIX commands, we also have pr:
pr -tn5 text.txt > newfile
pr -t:n5 text.txt > newfile

Though it will treat the form feed character specially.
awk '{printf "%5d %s\n", FNR, $0}' text.txt > newfile

should be OK and lets you format the number whichever way you want, like for your expected output:
awk '{printf "%-2d %s\n", FNR, $0}' text.txt > newfile

Also:
grep -n '^' text.txt > newfile

with yet another different output format.
Some cat implementations also support -n for that:
cat -n text.txt > newfile

A: I'm not sure what you want (since you said you want to order the file, but the output you gave has the exact same order as the input), but to enumerate lines you can use nl.
nl filename > outputfile

'No-Code' Brings the Power of A.I. to the Masses
Craig Smith in The New York Times reports on the growth in 'no code' AI applications that are entering the market across several industry verticals. He lists a growing army of "citizen developers" who use new products that allow anyone to apply artificial intelligence without writing a line of computer code. Proponents of the "no-code" A.I. revolution believe it will change the world: It used to require a team of engineers to build a piece of software, and now users with a web browser and an idea have the power to bring that idea to life themselves.
"We are trying to take A.I. and make it ridiculously easy."
Craig Wisneski, co-founder of Akkio
Why it's important – Just as clickable icons have replaced obscure programming commands on home computers, new no-code platforms replace programming languages with familiar and straightforward web interfaces. And a wave of start-ups is bringing the power of A.I. to nontechnical people in visual, textual, and audio domains. Advances in A.I. itself are making no-code platforms more powerful. Eventually, the broader public will be able to create A.I.-enabled software in much the same way that teenagers today can create sophisticated video effects that would have required a professional studio a decade or two ago. For now, though, most no-code-A.I. users are business professionals who want to streamline the way things are done without involving a programmer.

New technique improves detection of cancer DNA in blood
The Broad Institute posted an article on their work in developing a new method to identify thousands of DNA mutations accurately and efficiently in a patient's blood sample with minimal sequencing. The approach, called MAESTRO, could one day detect residual cancer in patients who have undergone treatment, alerting doctors to disease recurrence earlier and more cheaply than current techniques allow. The work was published this week in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Why it's important – To use MAESTRO, researchers first sequence a patient's tumor biopsy to understand the landscape of mutations. With this information in hand, they can create specialized molecular probes that will bind to only those tumor-associated sequences of DNA. Scientists add the molecular probes to the cell-free DNA from blood samples, then wash away any unbound DNA, enabling the sequencing machines to pick out the rare cancer mutations. This opens up the possibility of detecting MRD earlier or identifying circulating DNA from cancers that shed very little.
OSF HealthCare to help commercialize wireless seizure sensor
Katie Adams reports that OSF Ventures, the innovation investment arm of Peoria, Ill.-based OSF HealthCare, joined a $12.5 million funding round for Epitel. This company makes a wireless, wearable brain wave-monitoring device to detect seizures. The device uses an adhesive that discreetly sticks to a patient's scalp. The FDA has approved the device for in-hospital use, and Epitel plans to seek approval for its use across various patient care settings.
Why it's important – This technology helps break down access barriers because it will not only reduce the time to electroencephalogram initiation but the sensors and monitoring software give rural hospitals that do not have electroencephalogram resources the ability to screen patients suspected of seizure activity instead of immediately requiring transfer to a larger tertiary hospital. It's also another example of how health system venture groups can accelerate the time to adoption of promising technologies through targeted investment strategies.
Google Search will soon let you book checkups and other medical appointments
CNBC's Sarah Alessandrini reported on this announcement by Google that they are rolling out a new feature in search that allows people to book health care appointments. Users looking to book a check-up or a same-day visit can use Google Search to see the availability of select health care providers in their area. Google is partnering with MinuteClinic at CVS to start.
Why it's important – Users can book appointments for a check-up, vaccination, skin condition, or an injury/illness without leaving Google search. It may be helpful for people who don't have regular care providers or who aren't able to visit their current doctor. Google said the feature is still in the early stages of rolling out. It expressed hopes to expand partners and functionality of the feature to make it easier for users to access the care they need.
Nvidia sets the stage for medical digital twins
George Lawton of Venture Beat covered the news from Nvidia's GTC. He described how Nvidia showcased a variety of significant advances that could drive the adoption of digital twins in medicine. Key healthcare advances introduced at GTC include synthetic data generation, the commercial release of its Clara medical AI platform, enhanced DNA sequencing workflow, improved pharmacovigilance capabilities, and improved drug discovery tools.
Why it's important – This isn't the first time Lawton has written about digital twins in healthcare. I featured one of his earlier articles in a news post last July. I believe that Nvidia's work on enhanced digital twins capabilities will eventually take advantage of these advances to dramatically improve patient safety and support new business models in the healthcare industry. Digital twin capabilities are more challenging in medicine due to privacy safeguards, medical regulations, and safety considerations. Although companies address these concerns in one-off implementations today, these are difficult to scale. Nvidia's existing toolchain and the recent announcement could help address these challenges.
