John Madden's "Proof" is an extraordinary thriller about matters of scholarship and the heart, about the true authorship of a mathematical proof and the passions that coil around it. It is a rare movie that gets the tone of a university campus exactly right, and at the same time communicates so easily that you don't need to know the slightest thing about math to understand it. Take it from me.
The film centers on two remarkable performances, by Gwyneth Paltrow and Hope Davis, as Catherine and Claire, the daughters of a mathematician so brilliant that his work transformed the field and has not yet been surpassed. But his work was done years ago, and at the age of 26 or 27, he began to "get sick," is the way the family puts it. This man, named Robert and played by Anthony Hopkins, still has occasional moments of lucidity, but he lives mostly in delusion, filling up one notebook after another with meaningless scribbles. Yet he remains on the University of Chicago faculty, where he has already made a lifetime's contribution; his presence and rare remissions are inspiring. Recently he had a year when he was "better."
Catherine was a brilliant math student, too -- at Northwestern, because she wanted to be free of her father. But she returned home to care for him when he got worse, and her life has been defined by her father and the family home. Hal (Jake Gyllenhaal), her father's student and assistant, is hopelessly in love with her; she shies away from intimacy and suspects his motives. Most of the movie takes place after the father's death (flashbacks show him in life and imagination), and Hal is going through the notebooks. "Hoping to find something of my dad's you could publish?" Catherine asks him in a moment of anger.
Claire, the older sister, flies in from New York and makes immediate plans to sell the family home to the university: "They've been after it for years." Catherine is outraged, but the movie subtly shows how Claire, not the brilliant sister, is the dominant one. There is the sinister possibility that she thinks (in all sincerity) that Catherine may have inherited the family illness, and should not be allowed to stay alone in Chicago. Claire expresses love and support for her sister, in terms that are frightening.
There is a locked drawer in Robert's desk. Catherine gives Hal the key. It contains what may be a revolutionary advance on Robert's earlier work; a new mathematical proof of incalculable importance. Did Robert somehow write this in a fleeing moment of clarity? The authorship of the proof brings into play all of the human dynamics that have been established, between Catherine and Claire and Hal, and indeed between all of them and the ghostly presence of the father.
"Proof," based on the award-winning Broadway and London play by David Auburn, contains one scene after another that is pitch-perfect in its command of how academics talk and live. Having once spent a year as a University of Chicago doctoral candidate, I felt as if I were back on campus. There is a memorial service at which the speaker (Gary Houston) sounds precisely as such speakers sound; his subject is simultaneously the dead mathematician, and his sense of his own importance. There is a faculty party at which all of the right notes are sounded. And when Catherine and Hal speak, they talk as friends, lovers and fellow mathematicians; they communicate in several languages while speaking only one.
What makes the movie deep and urgent is that Catherine is motivated by conflicting desires. She wants to be a great mathematician, but does not want to hurt or shame her father. She wants to be a loyal daughter, and yet stand alone as herself. She half-believes her older sister's persuasive smothering. She half-believes Hal loves her only for herself. At the bottom, she only half-believes in herself. That's why the Paltrow performance is so fascinating: It's essentially about a woman whose destiny is in her own hands, but she can't make them close on it.
It would be natural to compare "Proof" with "A Beautiful Mind" (2001), another movie about a brilliant and mad mathematician. But they are miles apart. "A Beautiful Mind" tries to enter the world of the madman. "Proof" locates itself in the mind of the madman's daughter, who loves him and sorrows for him, who has lived in his shadow so long she fears the light and the things that go with it.
Note: It doesn't make the movie any better or worse, but it's unique in that all of the locations match. There are no impossible journeys or non-existent freeway exits. The trip from Hyde Park to Evanston reflects the way you really do get there. So real do the locations feel that it's a shock to find that most of the interiors were filmed in England; they match the movie's Chicago locations seamlessly.
OMG I SO TOTALLY AGREE THAT THEY SHOIULD DO IT SDO IT I SAY GET RID OF THE STATWS PADDERS and great sorty xconrob

Cindy Sheehan Arrested After U.N. March By PAUL BURKHARDT, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 59 minutes ago
NEW YORK - U.S. and Iraqi women demanding a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq marched from the United Nations to the U.S. Mission on Monday, where peace activist Cindy Sheehan and three others were arrested, police said.

hidengofuckyourself.com
The march followed a press conference at U.N. headquarters where Iraqi women described daily killings and ambulance bombings as part of the escalating violence that keeps women in their homes.
Women Say No to War, which helped organize the march, said Sheehan and three other women were arrested while trying to deliver a 60,000-signature petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations urging the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
Ann Wright, a former Army colonel and U.S. diplomat, said in a group statement that the U.S. Mission, representing the United Nations' U.S. delegation, refused to send a representative to meet with the delegation and the women refused to leave without delivering the petition.
"I am outraged that the U.S. Mission could not send someone down to meet with a delegation of women whose lives and families have been shattered by this destructive and immoral war," said Wright.
Mission spokesman Richard Grenell said Sheehan was invited to come in to discuss her concerns, but chose instead to block the entrance to the Mission. "It was clearly designed to be a media stunt, not aimed at rational discussion," Grenell said.
New York Police Det. Kevin Czartoryski confirmed the arrest of Sheehan and three other protesters on charges of criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.
At the U.N. press conference, Entessa Mohammed, a pharmacist who works at a Baghdad hospital, became tearful recalling the death and injury she said she has witnessed daily.
She estimated that 1,600 Iraqis are killed in Baghdad every month. President Bush "said he would minimize civilian deaths, but in reality, the opposite is happening," Mohammed said.

Many parents don't admit their child is overweight By Charnicia E. Huggins
Mon Mar 6, 11:23 AM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Many parents do not identify their child as "overweight," but will select a sketch of a heavier model when asked to choose one representative of their child, new study findings show.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Comparisons between images and sketches showed that parents' visual perceptions of their children more clearly reflect their child's physical appearance than words they might use to classify the child's weight," study author Dr. Helen J. Binns, of Northwestern University in Chicago told Reuters Health.
"So parents have a correct visual perception, but don't consider that to fit in the medical 'diagnostic categories,"' she added.
Previous studies have found that helping parents recognize their child's overweight status and their willingness to make the necessary behavioral changes is key to their child's treatment. Parents who fail to recognize that their child needs help may not be ready to receive any related counseling or other interventions, researchers say.
Yet, various reports show that many mothers -- especially those with young children -- do not consider their overly chubby children to be overweight, with some wrongly believing that their child is "about the right weight."
In the current study, Binns and her team examined parents' perceptions about their child's overweight status and investigated whether sketches may be useful in helping parents recognize their child's problem.
Of the 223 children studied, 20 percent were overweight and 19 percent were at risk for overweight. Over half (60 percent) of the 2- to 17-year-old study participants were under 6 years old.
Similar to previous studies, the researchers found that many parents failed to recognize that their child was overweight. Only about one third (36 percent) of parents correctly identified their child as overweight or at risk for becoming overweight.
However, asked to select a sketch representative of their child, 70 percent selected a middle or heavier sketch, Binns and her team report in this month's issue of Pediatrics.]
This was particularly true for parents of children 6 years or younger, the researchers note.
In addition to choosing the heavier sketches, parents of younger children were also more likely to use words to identify their child as overweight or at risk for overweight, and were more likely to worry about their child's weight.
Overall, 26 percent of parents of overweight or at-risk-for-overweight children said they worried about their child's weight and 18 percent said a doctor had expressed concern about their child being overweight or gaining weight too quickly.
Parents of older children were less likely to worry, unless they considered their child to be less active or slower than his or her peers, or if a doctor had expressed concern about their child's condition, the report indicates.
So what can parents do to address their child's excess weight?
"Start by setting a good example in relationship to foods, physical activity and leisure time activity," Binns advised, noting, "your children are watching you and will follow what you do."
Also, she recommends that parents "play actively" with their children and "decrease the availability of opportunities for sedentary behavior."

Similar to previous studies, the researchers found that many parents failed to recognize that their child was overweight. Only about one third (36 percent) of parents correctly identified their child as overweight or at risk for becoming overweight.
However, asked to select a sketch representative of their child, 70 percent selected a middle or heavier sketch, Binns and her team report in this month's issue of Pediatrics.]
This was particularly true for parents of children 6 years or younger, the researchers note.
In addition to choosing the heavier sketches, parents of younger children were also more likely to use words to identify their child as overweight or at risk for overweight, and were more likely to worry about their child's weight.
Overall, 26 percent of parents of overweight or at-risk-for-overweight children said they worried about their child's weight and 18 percent said a doctor had expressed concern about their child being overweight or gaining weight too quickly.
Parents of older children were less likely to worry, unless they considered their child to be less active or slower than his or her peers, or if a doctor had expressed concern about their child's condition, the report indicates.
So what can parents do to address their child's excess weight?
"Start by setting a good example in relationship to foods, physical activity and leisure time activity," Binns advised, noting, "your children are watching you and will follow what you do."
Also, she recommends that parents "play actively" with their children and "decrease the availability of opportunities for sedentary behavior."

Many parents don't admit their child is overweight By Charnicia E. Huggins
Mon Mar 6, 11:23 AM ET
GREAT Read great find. But it lacks compassion for the middle-oincome group. I give it 2 out of 5 stard it needs more spunk and hip-hop in it. It lacks flavour and charisma maybe enter in a junction or a conjuction
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Many parents do not identify their child as "overweight," but will select a sketch of a heavier model when asked to choose one representative of their child, new study findings show.

"Comparisons between images and sketches showed that parents' visual perceptions of their children more clearly reflect their child's physical appearance than words they might use to classify the child's weight," study author Dr. Helen J. Binns, of Northwestern University in Chicago told Reuters Health.
"So parents have a correct visual perception, but don't consider that to fit in the medical 'diagnostic categories,"' she added.
Previous studies have found that helping parents recognize their child's overweight status and their willingness to make the necessary behavioral changes is key to their child's treatment. Parents who fail to recognize that their child needs help may not be ready to receive any related counseling or other interventions, researchers say.
Yet, various reports show that many mothers -- especially those with young children -- do not consider their overly chubby children to be overweight, with some wrongly believing that their child is "about the right weight."
In the current study, Binns and her team examined parents' perceptions about their child's overweight status and investigated whether sketches may be useful in helping parents recognize their child's problem.
Of the 223 children studied, 20 percent were overweight and 19 percent were at risk for overweight. Over half (60 percent) of the 2- to 17-year-old study participants were under 6 years old.
