‘Mad Men’ in the hunt for an Emmy Awards record Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES — “Mad Men” is making a bid for Emmy history, while a couple of fresh-faced girls are flirting with possible first-time nods at the 64th annual Primetime Emmy nominations. “Mad Men,” AMC’s saga of ad exec Don Draper and 1960s America, has won four best drama series trophies to tie with “Hill Street Blues,” ‘’L.A. Law” and “The West Wing.” A fifth nomination at Thursday morning’s announcement ceremony would give it a shot at the record. Newcomers “Girls” and “New Girl” are vying for honors in the comedy series categories. The nominations by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences were to be announced by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and Kerry Washington of “Scandal.” Kimmel, who will host the Sept. 23 Emmy ceremony on ABC, is stepping in for Nick Offerman of “Parks and Recreation,” who was delayed on the East Coast by weather problems. Besides “Mad Men,” other front-runners for one of the six best drama slots include “Homeland,” ‘’Breaking Bad,” ‘’The Good Wife,” ‘’Game of Thrones,” ‘’Boardwalk Empire” and “Downton Abbey.” PBS’ “Downton Abbey,” the elegant British-born soap opera that was named
best miniseries last year for its first season, switched categories this time. ABC’s “Modern Family,” honored as best comedy series for two consecutive years, likely will get a shot at extending its streak and earning more Emmy gold for its stars, including past winners Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet. Although actually winning trophies may be shooting for the moon, “Girls,” created by and starring Lena Dunham, and “New Girl,” with Zooey Deschanel, are good bets for nominations. “Girls” is HBO’s “current spin on ‘Sex and the City,’ which was a strong past Emmy favorite,” said Tom O’Neil, editor of award website Gold Derby. “Lena Dunham is the toast of Hollywood today,
so expect her new show to do swell.” Fox’s “New Girl,” a critical success that’s earned respectable ratings, also could reap bids, O’Neil said. “Girls” is a darkly comedic comingof-age story, while “New Girl” uses Deschanel’s offbeat charm in a more standard sitcom format. The two are part of a wave of femalecentric comedies that hit TV in the wake of the box-office success of “Bridesmaids.” Also in the mix is the CBS freshman hit “2 Broke Girls,” but its raunchier tone may affect its Emmy prospects. Some lead actors hope to repeat their Emmy triumphs from last year, including winners Julianna Margulies of “The Good Wife,” Melissa McCarthy of “Mike & Molly” and Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory.” Bryan Cranston, whose “Breaking Bad” drama aired outside the competition window for the 2011 awards, is back and could add to his three trophies for the role of teacher-turned-drug-maker. Emmy voters have a chance to sound a last hurrah for “House” and star Hugh Laurie and for “Desperate Housewives” and its ensemble cast. Both shows wrapped their eight-year runs last season, their sizzle and ratings lower than in their salad days.
Nolan defends fans angry over ‘Knight’ reviews Associated Press Writer
LONDON — Director Christopher Nolan is defending fans irate over negative reviews of “The Dark Knight Rises.” While the final piece of Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy has gotten mostly positive reviews, a few critics, including The Associated Press’ Christy Lemire, gave it a negative review. Fan response to those critics became so venomous on the review aggregator site RottenTomatoes.com that it suspended user comments late Monday. Appearing at Wednesday’s London premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises,” Nolan was quick to defend fans’ heated response to the reviews. “I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman’s been around for over 70 AP Photo/Jonathan Short
years and there’s a reason for that. He has a huge appeal, so I think you know people certainly respond to the character,” he said. Nolan also weighed in on conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh’s contention that the villain in the movie, Bane, was an attempt to make a disparaging link to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s former company Bain Capital. “I’m not sure how to address something that bizarre, to be honest. I really don’t have an answer for it, it’s a very peculiar comment to make,” he said. Morgan Freeman, who plays Lucius Fox, called the contention “ridiculous.” “Chris wrote a fictional story that didn’t have any political thoughts in mind, so it’s like art or something you know, it’s all in the mind of the beholder,” Freeman said. Bane has been a character in the Batman comic series for many years.
British actor, Christian Bale and Sandra Bale arrive for the European premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, at a central London cinema, Wednesday, July 18, 2012.

The suspect rabies patient from Gianyar who was treated in Sanglah Hospital since Tuesday, July 17, 2012 died. After being treated for two days, she passed away on yesterday on 2 am local time. The Secretary of the Rabies Management Team, dr. Ken Wirasandhi, said that the patient was showing rabies symptoms. “At first, the patient came complaining hard to breathe but after being examined, she was bitten by a dog four months ago. She didn’t get VAR injection at that time,” Ken said. He also explained that when the rabies virus already enter the brain, it is very difficult to be cured. For that reason, the spread of the virus must be sustained by the anti rabies vaccine (VAR). “Most of the died patients didn’t get any VA shot so the victim of bitten dog must get complete VAR shot. The demand of anti-rabies vaccine in Emergency Room of Sanglah Hospital by new patients bitten by dog, according to Ken, indeed had showed a decline. Daily demand of the anti-rabies vaccine averagely reached 10-20 people, while previously reached up to 30 people. However, the declining vaccine demand did not necessarily mean if Bali had been free from the threat of rabies. “Until now, Bali has not been declared free from rabies case in dog. It means that society still has a threat to be bitten by dog infected by rabies virus,” said Ken. Therefore, if bitten by dog no matter how small the wound was, the community should take action to maximally treat the wound and asked an anti-rabies vaccine to the nearest public health center. “Moreover, if the wound is wide, deep, a lot and happened at hazardous points such as at shoulder and above, toe and the tip of the hand.
