The Chief coroner investigator, Craig Harvey, stated that “no final cause of death has yet been established”. Corey Haim had a serious battle with drug addiction all his life, specifically involving the use of prescription medications. Haim’s death conjures memories of the recent tragic death of pop start Michael Jackson, who died of a prescription drug overdose. “We still have outstanding tests we are waiting for” said Coroner Harvey on Thursday night. What those tests will show remains to be seen. More on this story as it develops.

It should however be less suspense for the acting awards. Names Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) And Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) Recurring Oscars for best actor and best actress. As for Christoph Waltz (Inglourious basterds) and Mo’Nique (Precious), The victory seemed already acquired in category “supporting roles.

Finally, a week after his big victory Caesar, Jacques Audiard be in Hollywood sinceA Prophet contributes in the category “Best Foreign Film.” He will face a match: Ribbon white Michael Haneke, who hitherto had always stole the show …

The great annual festival of Oscars must start at 17:00 and will be broadcast in over one hundred countries. Actors Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin have the difficult task of succeeding Hugh Jackman, who had packed the previous ceremony, even managing to bring up a hearing in freefall in recent years.

“Hurt Locker”, favorite

This year, the Academy of Arts and Sciences film Oscar host, has decided to select 10 films for the Oscar for best film, and not five as usual. Despite this opening, two films stand out: the favorite “Deminers, “By Kathryn Bigelow, who tells the Daily deminers three soldiers in Iraq, and”Avatar”The fresco 3D James Cameron which is already the most profitable film in history with 2.5 billion dollars. Kathryn Bigelow, Also ex-wife of James Cameron, is foreseen to become the first woman in history to win an Oscar.
In the category “Best Actress” Sandra Bullock share favorite for his performance in “The Blind Side”, although in the forecast, the gap it had over other contenders for the Oscar was reduced. Sandra Bullock might well win in the same weekend the prize for best actress and one of the worst actress. It has indeed received a “Razzie” (or “golden raspberry) to the worst interpretation of the year for the comedy” All About Steve ”

The French in contention

In contrast, what is the best player, the dice seem to have discarded. Jeff Bridges and should be rewarded for his performance in “Crazy Heart”. We did not note a great suspense for supporting roles. Christoph Waltz should be rewarded in the male category for his performance in “Inglourious Basterds” and Mo’nique for his performance in “Precious”.
Many French are this year competing. With Jacques Audiard “A Prophet”Is a favorite for the Oscar for best foreign film. Alexandre Desplat contributes to the music of the film” Fantastic Mr. Fox “and the category of short animated films, there are two French films with” French Roast “and” Logorama.
The French co-producer of “Hurt Locker” is also among the favorites, but he was punished for calling to vote for his film at the expense of Avatar, a practice forbidden. It will not be present tonight at Kodack Theater where the ceremony takes place.

If James Cameron had won the battle of box office with AvatarThe victory is not assured tonight at a ceremony hosted by comedian Steve Martin tandem-Alec Baldwin. Deminers also has nine nominations, often in the same category (movie, film, photography, editing, music, sound …). A competition that makes him smile in Hollywood as the director of this war film is low budget other than Kathryn Bigelow, the former wife of James Cameron.

If the gentleman has been awarded the Golden Globe for best film and best director last January, Ms. received their equivalent in English Bafta two weeks ago. Equality, then, with a small advantage for Kathryn Bigelow: it has been honored this year by the Union of directors. And since 1948, only six exceptions, the Oscar for best director is always returned to the winner of this award. But the blunder this week’s producer Deminers could put the counters: author of an e-mail urging voters to support his film, he was called to order by the Motion Picture Academy, which prohibits any country from aggressive competitors.

Although the number of nominees for best film this year has increased from five to ten dueling Avatar Clearance was depriving talented outsiders their luck as Jason Reitman with his remarkable In the Air, Or Lee Daniels, who created the surprise by securing six nominations for his first film, Precious. There should at least come away with the Oscar for best supporting actress, thanks to the performance of Mo’Nique, who has already won the Golden Globe and Bafta.

Side actresses, Meryl Streep (named for the 16th time) and Sandra Bullock, both victorious at the Golden Globe, is waging a war on nice mode of humor, engaging threats funny or kissing on the mouth before photographers. Among men, the games are more open: Jeff Bridges has won the Golden Globe for Crazy Heart, Colin Firth award for best actor at Venice and the Bafta for A Single Man. But George Clooney in In the Air, Morgan Freeman, in Nelson Mandela in InvictusAnd the unknown Jeremy Renner, by mad war Deminers, Deserve just as much to win the statuette.

It is hoped that Jacques Audiard add an Oscar for best foreign film in its nine Caesar. Short films Logorama and French Roast, Composer Alexandre Desplat for Fantastic Mr. Fox, Costume designer Catherine Leterrier for Coco avant Chanel, Lyricists Reinhardt Wagner and Frank Thomas for Paris 36 defend the colors of France in sunny Los Angeles.

Nothing in life is impossible provided we know how to take a chance. And PreciousThe film by Lee Daniels, revealed the Sundance in 2009 and six times nominated for Oscars, Gives each of us a pretty lesson of hope. Precious declines history Clareece “Precious” Jones, a young woman from Harlem overweight, pregnant with her father whom she has a child with Down syndrome, beaten by her mother and invisible to all who will find redemption in the learning reading. To find her “Precious,” Lee Daniels – who is, according Vanity Fair”The best thing that ever happened to the actors since Robert Altman – has held open casting calls: ‘I could hardly call agents and ask:” Would you, perchance, a black actress who weigh 100 pounds? ” , says he, barefoot in his moccasins Gucci.

Daniels has met four hundred girls until the arrival of Gabourey Sidibe, said Gabby, 26, who was studying psychology. “My mother pushed me to go to the hearing, and, of course, I did not listen, says she. But my instinct still driven to spend a head between classes. I felt relaxed as I was convinced not to have the role and waste my time. “Today, Gabby competing for the Oscar, opposite Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep, test it waits calmly:” Why worry since I can not speak on the difference? she asks. I defend the film for over a year, answer, honored, questions except those on my overweight I can not see painting, and, victorious or defeated, I expect most of the day after. ”

Sage ( “I have no philosophy in life, or so I have them all,” she says), raised in Harlem and has a solid wry humor, Gabourey Sidibe has changed his approach, his look and his voice for the film. “I lived a childhood” normal “between divorced parents, whispers to her. But I have known Precious. Yes, I happened to pass without even looking. Now, when I posed for Annie Leibovitz (Vanity Fair) Or Bruce Weber (from Vogue Italian), I think they and the little girl I was. I wish they kept the picture and think: “If it does, I can do it too.”

The director, came to Harlem as Gabby, said she remembered the arrival at the door of a naked girl: “I was 11 years. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, she covered his hands and repeated in a loop: “My mother wants to kill me.” Gabby caveat: “People who come to confide:” Precious, it’s me ” are also very often white, you know. “Since then she has toured Yelling to the Sky, Victoria Mahoney, and gave the reply to Laura Linney in the television series The Big C. Who would it work? “Quentin Tarantino! cried she. Because in addition to a damn filmmaker, what kind of gold! “Gabby mark a pause. But the option already sounds like the obvious.

Most experts still see Kathryn Bigelow triumph over her ex-husband James Cameron’s Oscar for best director, which would make her the first woman to win this award in the United States. So, the Oscar for best film Avatar might be plausible, especially since the voting system was changed at the same time as the number of contenders. The other eight films, including Inglourious Basterds and Upstairs therefore play extras.

Performance Prize

For Best Actress race seems already over men with a statuette promised Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) For Best Actor and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) In the best supporting role. In women, the best supporting role should go to Mo’Nique plays in Precious. In contrast, the Oscar for best actress remains uncertain with a favorite Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep a serious contender and especially an outsider more than likely … Carey Mulligan Gabourey Sibide Helen Mirren and already seem out of the race.

The France is well represented

France has the beating heart when handed the Oscar for best film in all crossing our fingers that Jacques Audiard takes to the stage at the Kodak Theater. A prophet, With its 9 Caesar, however, will matter to White Ribbon Michael Haneke is still head of forecast … Unless voters prefer one of three competitors Fausta (Peru) In his eyes (Argentina) Ajami (Israel).

France again with little hope of reward with appointments Coco avant Chanel in the category best costumes, Alexandre Desplat for his composition of film animation Fantastic Mr. Fox, The song “Far from Paname” Film Paris 36 and two animated shorts French Roast Fabrice Joubert Logorama Francis Alaux, Herve de Crecy and Ludovic Houplain. It also will cross fingers for Bruno Delbonnel, named for the photography of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Half.

And like last week for the Oscars, writing excessive. Com offers the following awards live! At tonight (Tonight !!!).

Do you use many chemicals in your business?

We use in strictly controlled quantities. Herbicides, insecticides, fungicides are part of our daily lives. But our generation is still a lot more riding on the precautions before using. The “old” did not really pay attention: when handling chemicals they sprayed unprotected. Today they wear masks, gloves … It is no fun but we must treat our crops to produce and sell!

Some put the bio, it is possible to avoid the use of pesticides …

Making it work would require the hypermarkets as we buy organic

Some farmers are free but if we put all the organic, the profession does not suffice more to herself. Beyond conversion aid granted by the state, the real problem is that of compensation. Making it work would require the hypermarkets as we buy organic. And as we know, organic is expensive and most importantly, it produces a lower yield than conventional agriculture.

Are you worried that the use of pesticides ale affect your health?

It’s part of my job but I admit that fear remains. After all, I tell myself that if all the precautions to take is not for nothing …

Jean Gobi, retired farmer in the Yonne recounts his conversion to organic after years of conventional farming.

How did you made your way to agriculiture bio?

I spent 35 years with pesticides. Then ten years before my retirement, I passed the course and I’m gone organic. But the change did not make a snap! It was the fruit of long reflection. I am very knowledgeable and I realized it was possible to produce differently without necessarily losing too.

How would you describe the before and after?

They do not realize the consequences of pesticide use when it is inside. But when you stop using chemicals, it begins to feel the products used by our neighboring farmers! The smell of products takes you literally to the nose and we understand how it could be poisoned.

When using these products, you’re already sick?

I have not developed a serious illness but I remember when I used the products for seed dressing, I always headaches and nausea. Through study, I also learned that “a product used as a growth regulator for wheat acted directly on human cells, it cooled me. Finally, some time after switching to organic, I noticed that my grass fields, terraced with fields of rapeseed, was burned due to a pesticide used by a neighboring farmer. Also, I raised pigs and were near the fields was also developed purulent tasks on the body …

To treat a single ear of corn, it takes about 30 different molecules!

How was your conversion seen in the farming community?

My neighbors and my farmer friends were initially surprised, almost shocked. You know it’s a very closed environment in which we do not talk about the toxicity of products being used. It is part of the job is perceived as inevitable. My brother is Arborists and today many respiratory and digestive problems. Yet he does not hear about the harmfulness of these products. Moreover, today, few studies demonstrate a direct link between cancer and pesticide use. It must be said that a single ear of corn is used no fewer than 30 different molecules through the treatment provided. So, to analyze it all …

What do you think should be done to promote the transition from conventional agriculture to a greener agriculture?

I think we should focus on education. Keep in mind that the farmers of tomorrow are the ones who study today … In the agricultural colleges, we learn still young there is a sort of profitable agriculture. But this is false. My niece produces organic milk cows and earns a decent living. Financial assistance, information campaigns, training courses offered are also very important to change attitudes but not enough.

The girl has invented stories to relatives of the family to explain the silence of her mother.

It is finally the sister of the deceased, despite worries that he said by telephone the 14-year old, who discovered the body of the woman going home to it, February 22 evening.

The body was in an advanced state of decomposition.

Most friends of the victim, and merchants in the neighborhood where she lived, very difficult to believe the suicide theory.

Yet.

Investigations of police investigators from Toulon court concluded that this was a suicide.

A source close to the investigation indicates that “the girl would not explain her behavior.”

A source adds that the teenager had “difficulty getting along with her mother.”

The girl was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

It is an expensive vaccine. The bill to fight against the H1N1 flu rises to over one billion euros by Sunday Journal, Which has compiled its own particular estimates of the cost of paying contractors and expenses related to consultations with GPs.

Questioned by AFP, Department of Health said it was “too early to confirm any estimate.
“In the interests of transparency”

“We’re dealing with different lift figures, the ministry’s goal is for the sake of transparency, given the cost found in the campaign against the flu.”

The JDD add the cost of vaccine doses not canceled (370 million euros), the 300 million masks (150 million euros), the purchase of antivirals (20 million), syringes and cotton (8, 5 million) advertising campaign (5.6 million), reimbursement to local governments for local people and made available (95 million), payment of the 10,000 contractors (150 million), sending 65 million invitations to the insured (28 million), purchase of equipment for resuscitation of severe cases (5 million), waste treatment and transportation of products (41 million) and expenditure on GP visits (145 million). Total: 1,018 billion.
Cheaper than expected

The Ministry of Health has not given precise figures on the invoice of the pandemic. According to the press and experts in the health sector, it would be in the range of 850 million and $ 1.3 billion.

In September, before the outbreak of the flu, the Health Minister, Roselyne Bachelot, had estimated the cost of the fight against the pandemic to 1.5 billion euros, 1.1 billion spent on products (vaccines, masks …) and 450 million for information campaigns, to pay doctors and staff.

However, influenza was less virulent than expected and only 5.6 million people were vaccinated, while the government has purchased 94 million doses of vaccine. It is currently negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to cancel orders for 50 million doses.
