Kevin O'Connell receives his 20th Oscar nomination, this 1 for ...
She got him into the entertainment business and was his most ardent supporter. "I think my mother took one for the team," O'Connell said Tuesday with a smile in his voice. He also wants to credit his many colleagues. "It literally takes an army to do what we do," he said. "I'm just the guy who gets the accolade at the end of the year." O'Connell's first nomination was for 1983's "Terms of Endearment." The list also includes "A Few Good Men," "The Rock," "The Patriot," two "Spider-Man" movies and "Apocalypto."

Steel execs blast BHP-Rio bid
SENIOR executives of the steel industry have strongly criticised BHP Billiton's attempt to take over mining rival Rio Tinto, saying it would be a huge blow to competition. "I would expect that the anti-trust authorities, be it in New York in the US, in Japan, in China or wherever, will take some position to prevent this market share," Philippe Varin, chief executive of Anglo-Dutch steel producer Corus, said. "I don't think it is good for the steel industry," he added at a steel conference in Paris. Christophe Cornier, who heads ArcelorMittal's Flat Carbon Europe unit, agreed. "We like consolidation but too much is too much," he said.

Harper’s amero/SPP plot
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been doing a lot of laundry lately. First, he sorted through his cabinet and put some of his ministerial sock puppets through the spin cycle. Despite the best efforts of our palace press to present the event as “real news", it was a political nullity. A cabinet minister today is a micromanaged serf who cannot go to the bathroom without written permission from Harper's Central Directorate, so the individual at the head of a given ministry is supremely irrelevant, unless he or she gets beaten up by the opposition beyond the point of redemption and has to be replaced. Such was the case with Gordon O'Conner, who was done in as minion of defense by Harper's pro-Bush militarism in Afghanistan, especially the scandal of Taleban prisoners being tortured after Canadian soldiers turned them over to an Afghan faction.
