American composer Elliott Carter dies at age 103
















(Reuters) – Classical composer Elliott Carter, who twice won Pulitzer Prizes in a career that spanned more than 75 years, died on Monday in New York at age 103, music publisher Boosey & Hawkes said.


Carter was awarded Pulitzer Prizes in 1960 and 1973 for string quartet compositions. He composed 158 works, including several at over 100 years of age. One composition for chamber orchestra is scheduled for a world premier in February.













“The great range and diversity of his music has, and will continue to have, influence on countless composers and performers worldwide,” the publisher said. “He will be missed by us all but remembered for his brilliance, his wit and his great canon of work.”


He was inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame in 1998 and celebrated his 100th birthday at New York‘s Carnegie Hall in 2008 with a new work performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.


Carter was presented the National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States, in 1985. He also received national honors from Germany and France.

St Jude device lowers blood pressure in small study
















(Reuters) – St Jude Medical Inc said on Monday its procedure that deadens nerves near the kidneys helped lower blood pressure in a small study of patients whose hypertension could not be controlled with drugs.


Patients in the study who were treated with the Enlightn renal denervation system saw an average reduction of 28 points in systolic blood pressure, which is the first number expressed in a reading, after 30 days. At six months, the 46 patients who received the treatment maintained an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 26 mmHg points.













The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Los Angeles.


Patients enrolled in the study had an average blood pressure of 176/96 mmHg despite being treated with multiple medications to manage the condition. No serious side effects were reported, St Jude said.


Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a reading above 140/90 mmHg.


Renal denervation is a procedure in which a thin, flexible catheter is threaded through the body to the renal sympathetic nerves near the kidneys. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to disrupt the nerve activity, relieving high blood pressure.


Millions of people have hypertension that is resistant to drugs, putting them at risk of heart attacks and stroke.


The new therapy is not yet approved in the United States, but several products are already available in Europe.


Device makers that have already received approval to sell hypertension devices in Europe include Medtronic, the front-runner, St Jude, Covidien, ReCor Medical and Vessix Vascular.


St Jude shares were up 29 cents, or less than 1 percent, at $ 38.80 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

    Dog Tumors May Give Clues for Human Breast Cancer
















    Luke Robinson never liked dogs much until an ex-girlfriend offered him a puppy while he was living in San Antonio, Texas. The Great Pyrenees he named Malcolm changed all that.


    “It was the first dog of my adult life,” said Robinson, 41. “He was my companion, my mate.”













    But at the age of 6, Malcolm was diagnosed with bone cancer — which both devastated and mobilized Robinson.


    When a veterinarian from a major university couldn’t tell Robinson why Malcolm got cancer at such young age, he went on a national crusade to “find out why.”


    Robinson walked 2,300 miles over two years to raise awareness, founding in the process Two Million Dogs, an organization that is a pioneer in the field of comparative research — finding common links between animals and humans who have cancer.


    Today, a $ 50,000 grant from the organization is funding such research at Princeton University to learn how breast cancer tumors progress from seemingly benign to malignant ones.


    “We are using new model — no one looked at progression this way,” said Olga Troyanskaya, the computational biologist who is leading the genetic research. “It’s something that is really out there and forward-thinking.”


    Troyanskaya is collaborating with Karen Sorenmo, an oncologist at the Ryan Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania, who has a special interest in mammary tumors.


    The pair met when Troyanskaya‘s German shepherd Jessie was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2006, and she sought help from Sorenmo.


    Sorenmo provided the Princeton project with tumors from shelter dogs that get free treatment from shelter dogs.


    Dogs have multiple mammary glands and when they develop cancer, unlike humans, they can have multiple tumors.


    “The screening is not as good, but when found, on average they have seven masses at different stages of development,” said Troyanskaya. “Some are benign … but they are not truly benign.”


    Troyanskaya compares dog and human tumors on a molecular level and hopes to find genetic markers that can give clues to how human breast cancer tumors progress and which ones are more likely to become malignant.


    “We are looking at progression in a unique model,” she said. “Way more research has been done in mice … Dogs get these tumors naturally and the physiology is more similar, the way tumors rise is similar, with the hormonal link to breast cancer in women.”


    Troyanskaya said she hopes to find targets for drug treatment or predict clinical outcomes in women with breast cancer and help speed up human trials.


    “We can help dogs and humans,” she said.


    Robinson has been the visionary in this comparative research. His own journey began in 2006 when his dog Malcolm’s cancer had spread to his lungs. Even medical experts at Tufts University could not explain to Robinson why such a young dog would be so sick.


    “I took great care of him and learned everything about caring for a dog,” he said. “I did everything I was told to do.”


    Malcolm died, but two years later, in 2008, the questions still gnawed at Robinson. So he dropped out of the world of finance, put all his belongings in storage and set out to walk across 16 states with two new healthy dogs, Hudson and Murphy.


    “My goal was to share Malcolm’s story,” he said. And along the way, he consulted with veterinary experts to know why his dog died.


    “I didn’t have a choice,” said Robinson. “He was my boy and he changed my life fundamentally. Some people continue on the same course. For me, it was life-defining.”


    In 2010, he set up Two Million Dogs, believing that dogs, who live in the same environment as humans, can give clues to why humans get cancer.


    “They are like the canary in the coal mines — we drink the same water,” said Robinson.


    Today, Robinson is still homeless and jobless, but a tireless advocate for comparative research.


    The organization he founded for sponsors is called “Puppy-Up Walks” — similar to the fundraising efforts for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and hosted in in 40 cities around the country.


    Sadly, Robinson’s Great Pyrenees, Murphy, died of nasal cancer in June. And now, the man who never thought he would fall in love with a dog has a new puppy, Indiana.


    “Before,” he said of Malcolm, “I didn’t know I could have a spiritual connection with an animal.”

    Brazil’s ‘pop-star priest’ gets mammoth new stage

























    SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil‘s “pop-star priest” is already packing in the crowds at the newly opened mammoth sanctuary that he built for his campaign to stem the exodus of faithful from the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America’s biggest nation.


    Brazil still has more Catholics than any other country in the world, with about 65 percent of its 192 million people identifying themselves that way in the 2010 census. But that is down from 74 percent in 2000 and is the lowest since records began tracking religion 140 years ago.





















    That’s where Father Marcelo Rossi‘s Mother of God sanctuary comes in. The not-yet-finished structure will seat 6,000 people and have standing room for 14,000 more, church leaders say. In addition, the grounds outside can hold 80,000 people who could watch Mass on outdoor video screens.


    After the inaugural Mass on Friday attracted upward of 50,000 people, a beaming Rossi told reporters: “They couldn’t all fit in. There was a crowd that had to stand outside! That’s a sign we’re on the right path, and it’s this sanctuary.”


    Similar numbers jammed into the huge church Saturday.


    It’s a fitting stage for Rossi, a Latin Grammy-nominated singer who is known for tossing buckets of holy water on worshippers and performing rollicking Christian songs backed by a blasting live band during Mass.


    The church sits on 323,000 square feet (30,000 square meters) of land. Church officials declined to confirm how big the actual building is, though local reports put it at 91,500 square feet (8,500 square meters). That would make it one of the world’s 10 biggest churches. A cross soaring 138 feet (42 meters) into the air is the focal point.


    The Mother of God sanctuary is anything but traditional. Designed by noted Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake, it has a wide-open layout giving it the feel of a warehouse. Concrete walls hold up a sloping blue roof that from the outside looks more like a basketball arena than a house of worship. With the church several years away from completion, white plastic chairs were in the place of pews for a lucky few thousand to grab a seat. The rest had to stand.


    Rossi dismisses the idea his huge church is a response to the explosion of the evangelical Christian faith in Brazil. Rather, the priest seems to be battling what recent studies indicate is Catholicism’s biggest enemy: indifference.


    While millions of Brazilian Catholics joined Pentecostal congregations in the 1990s, a study conducted last year by Brazil’s Getulio Vargas Foundation based on census data found that the Catholics leaving the church these days are mostly becoming nonreligious. Experts have said the trend of Brazilians deciding organized religion isn’t for them poses a more potent threat to Catholic leaders than losses to the Pentecostals.


    Rossi chose to open his new church on the Brazilian holiday of Finados, the nation’s version of the Day of the Dead. “A day, a day that was dead, was transformed!” the priest told worshippers during the service, using his gold-plated microphone.


    The “pop-star priest” is seen by Brazilian Catholicism as its biggest weapon against the lack of interest, and his new sanctuary adds to his tools of best-selling books and music recordings to keep worshippers interested in what many complain has become a staid institution.


    There was nothing stale about his Mass on Friday.


    Singing as loud as they could, waving white hankies and swaying with a rocking band, the 20,000 people who jammed into the Mother of God sanctuary hammed it up for TV cameras and shed tears down their cheeks as their superstar priest waved to them from the pulpit. An estimated 30,000 other people had gathered outside, where young boys climbed up into nearby trees trying to get a glimpse of the church grounds as they squinted over a sea of heads streaming out of the sanctuary.


    “We have problems, everyone has problems,” worshipper Zuleima de Oliveira Sales said as she stood in the tightly packed sea of people under the soaring blue roof of the structure, her voice choking. “They don’t come to an end, but I have faith, I have faith in Our Lady.”


    That’s the sort of belief the Catholic Church is counting on in Brazil and other developing nations. Leaders from the Vatican on down are looking to them as bulwarks against losses in Europe and the U.S., where sex abuse scandals have inspired many people to leave the church. About half of the world’s Catholics live in Latin America.


    Pentecostalism was once seen as a major threat to Brazil’s Catholic Church. Pentecostal churches, many of them founded by U.S. evangelicals, saw their membership double to more than 12 percent of the country’s population over the 1990s, with about half of the congregants estimated to be former Catholics.


    During the 1990s, Brazil’s economy suffered from hyperinflation and other woes, and Pentecostal churches aggressively recruited in the slums and poor outskirts of Brazil’s cities by offering nuts-and-bolts self-improvement advice as well as Christian ministry.


    Since 2003, however, Pentecostal churches have seen growth slow. The percentage of Brazilians calling themselves Pentecostals edged up from 12.5 percent of the population to 13.3 percent.


    Yet the Catholic Church has continued to lose parishioners, and church leaders have had little success so far in halting that trend.


    Brazil was the first nation outside Europe that Pope Benedict XVI visited, during a five-day tour in 2007 largely aimed at stopping losses in Latin America. During the trip, the pope canonized Brazil’s first native-born saint.


    Then Benedict announced last August during the church’s World Youth Day, which drew 1.5 million people to Spain, that the next version of the gathering would be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2013. The pope is expected to attend.


    For now, Rossi hopes his big church will bring together tens of thousands of faithful for every Mass, giving new energy to the Catholic faith.


    “People want big spaces. They want grand places for prayer,” he told the Globo TV network. “One candle illuminates, 10 candles illuminate — and 100,000 candles light up so much more.”

    AnnaLynne McCord to get “Scorned” With Billy Zane in new thriller

























    LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – AnnaLynne McCord is about to become a woman “Scorned.”


    “90210″ star McCord has signed on for the revenge thriller “Scorned,” alongside “Titanic” star Billy Zane and Viva Bianca from Starz’s “Spartacus.”





















    McCord and Zane will play Sadie and Kevin, a couple whose romantic weekend at a lake house takes a sideways turn when a text message from Sadie’s best friend (played by “Bianca”) to Kevin reveals a lurid love affair between the two, sending Sadie on a vengeance spree.


    “Scorned” will be directed by Mark Jones, the creator and director of the beloved “Leprechaun” horror-movie series.


    Jones likened the project to “sophisticated” thrillers such as “Fatal Attraction” and “Misery.”


    “Having done horror with comedy, I wanted to delve into something more sophisticated along the lines of ‘Fatal Attraction’ and ‘Misery,’ and develop a multi-dimensional, twisted character in our lead villain (McCord), who I feel brings an original and incredibly unique take on her character,” Jones said.


    Lightning Entertainment will handle international sales of the film, with Lightning’s Audrey Delaney and Marc Bienstock executive-producing.
