Fantastic Four Reboot Set for March 6, 2015

the-fantastic-four-reboot

If all goes according to plan, 2015 will be one ridiculous year for movies.? Currently, The Avengers 2, Justice League, Ant-Man, Star Wars: Episode VII, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 are all tentatively slated for 2015 release dates.? Now Fox is throwing one more highly anticipated title into the pile, as their Fantastic Four reboot now has a March 6, 2015 release date.? Titled The Fantastic Four, the film has Chronicle director Josh Trank at the helm and Jeremy Slater penning the screenplay.? Plot details are practically non-existent at the moment, but with two promising gents creatively spearheading the project, there?s certainly hope for a fun take on the comic book property that will help us all put?Tim Story?s overly cheesy films out of our memory for good.

Additionally, Fox has announced that a number of their upcoming films will be post-converted to 3D.? Hit the jump for more.

x-men-days-of-future-pastThe folks over at Exhibitor Relations Tweeted that Fox?s The Wolverine, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters will all be released in 3D.? There?s no mention of Fantastic Four being 3D, but I imagine it will be presented in three-dimensions as well when all is said and done.? Seeing as how production on The Wolverine and Percy Jackson has already wrapped, we know that those two will be post-converted.? There?s no word on whether the other two will be shot in 3D or post-converted, but Ian McKellen recently speculated that director Bryan Singer might shoot the X-Men sequel in 3D and at 48 frames-per-second.

There has been no firm word from anyone else that Singer might go that route, and McKellen only just entered negotiations to join the project so he?s not exactly an expert on all things Days of Future Past. ?That said, Singer recently Tweeted quite a bit on a pre-production trip to New Zealand where he hung out with The Hobbit director/48 fps cheerleader Peter Jackson, so it?s certainly possible that he might be going the High Frame Rate route.? It?s also possible that he was just meeting with the people at Jackson?s visual effects studio Weta for the film, so let?s hold off on the instant backlash until we have more information.

Here?s a rundown of the release dates for Fox?s upcoming films:

Private company to offer rides to moon by 2020

Golden Spike says it hopes to sell missions to the moon for over $1 billion.

By Clara Moskowitz,?SPACE.com / December 7, 2012

This undated image made available by NASA and photographed by the Expedition 28 crew aboard the International Space Station, shows the moon, at center with the limb of Earth near the bottom transitioning into the orange-colored troposphere, the lowest and most dense portion of the Earth's atmosphere.

A new private venture aims to sell manned trips to the moon by 2020, its founders announced today (Dec. 6).

The company, called Golden Spike (after the final spike built into the First Transcontinental Railroad), plans to sell each moon mission for about $1.5 billion ? a relative bargain, said the company's president and CEO Alan Stern, a former director of NASA?s Science Mission Directorate.

For the same price as many unmanned robotic missions, Golden Spike will provide a round trip for two humans to the moon.

"We're selling to nations, corporations and individuals," Stern told SPACE.com. "Get in line ? and I think it's going to be a long one." [How Golden Spike's Moon Landing Plan Works (Infographic )]

Stern and Golden Spike's chairman of the board of directors, Gerry Griffin, a former Apollo flight director and NASA Johnson Space Center director, announced their plans today at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Shopping for a rocket

The company's leaders have not yet chosen a launch vehicle or space capsule to transport their passengers; Stern expects to make the final selections in 2014.

To keep costs low, Golden Spike will likely use existing or already-under-development rockets and spacecraft. However, the company will need to commission its own lunar lander and specially designed spacesuits. Stern called rumors that Golden Spike had already chosen SpaceX's Falcon 9 Heavy rocket "not true."

The company has been in the works, and under wraps, for two and a half years, Stern said.

"I don?t think anybody's got us beat," he added. "This is state-of-the-art cool."

The missions are being targeted at countries without their own space agencies or that can't afford to launch people to the moon independently, as well as scientific organizations and even private individuals looking to take the trip of a lifetime.

"We have spoken to space agencies from both Asian and European countries and found real interest," Stern said.

Businesses Urged To Get More Internet Clever... - Donegal Daily

Letterkenny has been urged to become more ?online? savvy so that local businesses can more money from the internet.

Fine Gael councillor Jimmy Kavanagh said that some businesses are actively engaging and selling their services and products online but others aren?t.

He has now tabled a motion for the latest meeting of Letterkenny Town Council asking that ?the council liaise with the chamber of commerce and other interested parties to devise a strategy for ecommerce for the town.?

Councillor Kavanagh revealed a recent study by Visa Europe showed that Irish consumers are to spend a total of ?420 million online on gifts in the run up to Christmas, with an average spend of ?227 per shopper?.

?This shows that there is a huge market for online shopping and I feel that local businesses are not geared to taking advantage of this potential.

?Some traders in the town are actively engaged with internet selling, but they are the exception rather than the rule. We have excellent Donegal and Irish products available and excellent gift and craft shops that are ideal for internet trading.

?With so many Donegal and Irish people now living and working abroad, it is the perfect time for traders to get involved with online markets. Consumer confidence in trading online is now high thanks to; much improved online security, the fact that most people are now very comfortable using the internet, and the easy availability of online access from smartphones and tablets as well as the more traditional laptops and PC?s,? he said.

He added that the availability of cloud computing also means that it is becoming easier and cheaper for traders to add an online dimension to their business.

?I feel that the council has the ability and the know how to bring interested parties together, look at the opportunities and devise a strategy for the town around online trading. LYIT is also producing IT graduates of a very high standard and there is an opportunity for the college to get involved and lend their expertise.

?I feel that a proper strategy on online trading for the town with clear objectives and goals would be a huge help to local business and would create some much needed employment in the Town? Kavanagh concluded.

Scientists identify genes that predict whether trastuzumab will work for breast cancer patients

ScienceDaily (Dec. 7, 2012) ? Adding the drug trastuzumab to chemotherapy prevents cancer recurrence and improves survival in a large number of women with early stage HER2-positive breast cancer. But trastuzumab does not stop tumors from returning in about 25 percent of patients -- and oncologists haven't been able to identify these women before treatment. This situation may soon change, according to a Mayo Clinic study being presented at the 2012 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

A team of U.S. researchers, led by oncologists at Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida, have discovered 27 genes that are significantly associated with a good outcome with concurrent use of trastuzumab and chemotherapy, as well as five other genes linked to a poor outcome using the same treatment regimen.

Results of their study -- believed to be the first to use gene expression profiling to predict outcome to trastuzumab as part of adjuvant breast cancer therapy -- offer a number of future potential benefits, says Edith Perez, M.D., deputy director at large of the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center and director of the Breast Cancer Translational Genomics Program at Mayo Clinic.

"These findings also are getting us closer to unraveling the biological factors that are relevant to patient outcome, which will help us improve clinical care," Dr. Perez says.

For example, the discovery may help scientists devise a genetic test that can help oncologists select the best treatment for their HER2-positive patients, she says.

Further analysis will illuminate the inner biological workings of individual HER2-positive tumors, which could provide clues for novel treatments, Dr. Perez adds. The researchers have already found that the genes linked to outcome can be grouped into different categories that affect tumor functioning, such as cell cycle, cell death, cell receptor signaling, and gene transcription.

Dr. Perez and her team plan to validate their findings through collaborations with researchers in the United States and Europe who have led other trastuzumab clinical studies.

"We are on our way to developing a predictive test that can define the right treatment for individual patients, and that is very exciting," she says.

The study was funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute and Mayo Clinic, with further support from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the 26.2 with Donna Foundation. The N9831 clinical trial was conducted by the North Central Cancer Treatment Group, now part of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. Dr. Perez is a group vice chair for the Alliance.

The study's co-authors include researchers from Mayo Clinic's campuses in Florida, Minnesota and Arizona, Indiana University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the University of Washington, and Ventana Medical Systems-Roche in Tucson, Ariz.

Rare Beijing protest takes aim at high speed rail project

BEIJING (Reuters) - Authorities in Beijing allowed a rare protest to take place on Sunday against a new high speed rail line, with about 300 demonstrators shouting slogans disrupting traffic in a busy eastern suburb.

Residents told Reuters they were concerned the new line from Beijing to the northeastern city of Shenyang would run too close to their apartments and local schools, causing excess noise and electromagnetic radiation.

They also complained the government had refused to listen to their concerns and accused them of faking an environmental impact assessment.

"I only knew this line was planned two weeks ago when I got a letter from the government thanking me for my support," said a protester who gave her family name as Zhang. "But neither me nor any of the other residents support this. They are inventing things."

Reuters was unable to reach government officials to seek comment.

Police allowed the largely middle-class protesters to march down a main road, where they briefly blocked an intersection shouting "down with the high speed line" and "change the route".

They peacefully dispersed later in the afternoon.

The stability-obsessed ruling Communist Party is wary of any protests, especially in the sensitive capital of Beijing, and often detain demonstrators or break up protests before they reach critical mass.

The party worries that the tens of thousands of sporadic protests over land grabs, corruption, environmental problems and economic grievances that break out every year could coalesce into a national movement and threaten its control.

In 2008, hundreds of people in China's financial hub Shanghai marched against the extension of the city's magnetic levitation train, or "maglev", worried it would emit radiation and sicken them. Police detained dozens.

T-Mobile confirms trials for GoSmart Mobile prepaid, may take it US-wide in 2013

TMobile confirms trial runs for prepaid GoSmart Mobile network, may go nationwide in 2013

Despite T-Mobile USA being very comfortable with prepaid service, it hasn't jumped in with both feet like its potential partner MetroPCS or its arch-rival Sprint. The company has just confirmed to FierceWireless that it's not waiting for a merger to experiment further; it's currently trialing GoSmart Mobile, a prepaid-only network that uses data speed, not caps, as the incentive to jump to higher tiers. Paying $30 per month offers unlimited calling and texting with no internet access whatsoever, while $35 a month includes unlimited 2G data and $45 upgrades to 3G. While that's not as good a deal for data as Virgin Mobile, it's better for those who truly prefer unlimited voice. The carrier hasn't said how it would balance the new service with its MetroPCS, but it has some time to sort this out when any possible nationwide launch won't take place until 2013.
