"If you're out of work like Steve Lippe, who was laid off from his job as a salesman in January, you know you already have problems.",
"But looking at the fine print that came with his new unemployment debit card, he became livid.",
"A brochure that goes out to Pennsylvanians seeking unemployment via debit card lists a number of fees.",
"\"A $1.50 [fee] here, a $1.50 there,\" he said.",
"\"Forty cents for a balance inquiry.",
"Fifty cents to have your card denied.",
"Thirty-five cents to have your account accessed by telephone.\"",
"He was quoting fees listed in a brochure that goes out to every unemployed person in Pennsylvania who chooses to receive benefits via debit card.",
"He was given the option when he filed for jobless payments: Wait 10 days for a check or get his new unemployment debit card immediately.",
"Like most of the 925,000 state residents who received unemployment benefits in February in Pennsylvania, he chose the debit card and only then, he says, did he learn about the fees.",
"\"I was outraged by his new unemployment debit card,\" he told CNN.",
"\"I was very noisy about his new unemployment debit card.",
"I just couldn't believe his new unemployment debit card.",
"An outrage is just too weak a word.",
"It's obscene.\"",
"According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 30 states offer direct deposit cards to the unemployed.",
"Many of the nation's biggest banks have contracts with the individual states.",
"JP Morgan Chase, for instance, has contracts with seven states and has pending deals with two others, according to JP Morgan Chase spokesman John T. Murray.",
"About 10 states, the U.S. Department of Labor says, pay by check only.",
"The National Consumer Law Center says fees range from 40 cents to a high of $3 per transaction, if the debit card is used at an out-of-network ATM.",
"Most banks give jobless debit card users one free withdrawal per deposit period, which averages every other week in most states.",
"But consumer advocates, including The National Consumer Law Center, say the unemployed \"should be able to obtain cash and perform basic functions with no fees.\"",
"A key Democratic member of the House Financial Services Committee, which oversees bank regulation and theTroubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), told CNN she agrees wholeheartedly.",

"Afterward, Vito said, Vito would answer questions about the debit card fees.",
"But when a public meeting at an elementary school ended, Vito's staff said Vito was too busy to talk.",
"Watch Vito leave meeting in a hurry » .",
"Vito's spokesman, Troy A. Thompson, spoke with CNN after Vito left.",
"\"The distribution system for people getting people getting their benefits's benefits has been improved by the use of debit cards, way above and beyond the distribution by check,\" he said.",
"the U.S. Department of Labor provided what the U.S. Department of Labor called \"talking points\" to CNN when asked for comment on the fee structure.",
"\"States can do a better job negotiating fees with banks,\" the U.S. Department of Labor said.",
"\"Many states have obtained terms far more favorable to claimants than those described in media reports.\"",
"In addition, according to the talking points, the U.S. Department of Labor said the U.S. Department of Labor was aware states are offering unemployment debit cards for good reasons: . • It is less expensive for claimants without bank accounts because claimants without bank accounts don't need to pay check cashing fees.",
"• Claimants can use the card free at merchants and therefore don't need to carry excess cash.",
"• Generally, these cards are safer and more secure than checks.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"White House has invoked executive privilege to keep President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, from having to testify Thursday about the firings of at least eight U.S. attorneys.",
"White House invoked executive privilege to keep . Karl Rove from having to testify Thursday.",
"Rove, \"as an immediate adviser to President Bush,\" can't be ordered to testify and has been told not to appear, White House Counsel Fred Fielding told the Senate Judiciary Committee.",
"the Senate Judiciary Committee called Karl Rove and Karl Rove's deputy, Scott Jennings, to testify Thursday morning.",
"White House says White House is trying to protect President Bush's ability to receive candid advice and offered to let top aides discuss attorney firings only if they were not placed under oath and no transcript was taken.",
"\"It is regretted that the Senate Judiciary Committee has forced this action, as President Bush's offer of accommodation to you and to the Senate Judiciary Committee could have provided information being sought in a manner respectful of presidential prerogatives and consistent with a spirit of comity,\" Fielding wrote.",
"But Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, accused White House of trying to cover up Karl Rove's role in the firings.",
"He questioned why Karl Rove discussed the matter publicly when the issue first made news, but now \"is suddenly unable to talk the issue about when Karl Rove is under oath.\"",
"\"Karl Rove has given reasons for the firings that have now been shown to be inaccurate, after-the-fact fabrications,\" Leahy said in a statement issued Wednesday evening.",
"\"Yet Karl Rove now refuses to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee the truth about Karl Rove's role in targeting well-respected U.S. attorneys for firing and in seeking to cover up Karl Rove's role and that of Karl Rove's staff in the scandal.\"",
"Mark Paoletta, a lawyer for Jennings, told CNN Jennings's client will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee but would refuse to answer questions Jennings feels are covered by executive privilege.",
"Former White House political director Sara Taylor testified under similar circumstances in July.",
"White House already has invoked executive privilege to block previous testimony by Taylor and former White House counsel Harriet Miers, who skipped a hearing in the House two weeks ago, and to keep Chief of Staff Josh Bolten from turning over documents subpoenaed as part of the inquiry.",
"The panel voted to cite Miers and Chief of Staff Josh Bolten for contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas.",
"The decision on whether to pursue any action on those citations lies with White House.",
"The privilege claim can be challenged in court.",
"But Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said the courts would be unlikely to resolve any challenge before President Bush leaves office.",
"Vice President Dick Cheney dismissed the congressional investigation of attorney firings as a \"witch hunt\" during a CNN interview Tuesday.",
"Democratic congressional leaders, however, say administration officials have been unable to answer Democratic congressional leaders's most basic questions -- who compiled the list of prosecutors to be dismissed, and why were they selected?",
"While the President Bush administration has maintained that attorney firings were handled properly, the controversy has led to the resignations of at least three top White House officials and triggered widespread criticism of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who repeatedly told a Senate committee in April that he did not recall details of attorney firings.",
"Critics say the attorneys were forced out for political reasons, such as for failing to bring voter fraud cases pushed by Republican activists, and administration officials have acknowledged that one was fired to allow a Rove protege to take a post in Arkansas.",

"Harold Pinter, the Nobel Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter whose absurdist and realistic works displayed a despair and defiance about the human condition, has died, according to British media reports.",
"He was 78.",
"Harold Pinter received the French Legion d'honneur in 2007.",
"Pinter's wife, Lady Antonia Fraser, confirmed Harold Pinter's death.",
"Pinter, who had been suffering from cancer, died on Christmas Eve, according to British media reports.",
"Fraser told the Guardian newspaper: \"Harold Pinter was a great, and it was a privilege to live with Harold Pinter for over 33 years.",
"Harold Pinter will never be forgotten.\"",
"Harold Pinter was known for such plays as \"The Birthday Party\" (1957), \"The Homecoming\" (1964), \"No Man's Land\" (1974), \"Mountain Language\" (1988), and \"Celebration\" (2000).",
"The works caught a linguistic rhythm -- the legendary \"Harold Pinter pause\" -- and an air of social unease that resonated throughout the English-speaking world and in myriad translations.",
"Harold Pinter's movie credits, like Harold Pinter's plays, span the decades and include \"The Quiller Memorandum\" (1965) and \"The French Lieutenant's Woman\" (1981).",
"Harold Pinter also wrote the screenplay for Harold Pinter's 1978 play \"Betrayal,\" the story of a doomed love affair told backward, which was made into a 1983 film with Ben Kingsley, Jeremy Irons and Patricia Hodge.",
"Harold Pinter received the Nobel Prize in literature in 2005.",
"Harold Pinter's later plays were more overtly political, with works such as \"One for the Road\" (1984) and \"The New World Order\" (1991) focusing on state torture.",
"In commentaries, Harold Pinter became a blistering critic of the United States, writing in Harold Pinter's Nobel lecture that the United States \"quite simply doesn't give a damn about the United Nations, international law or critical dissent, which the United States regards as impotent and irrelevant.",
"the United States also has the United States's own bleating little lamb tagging behind the United States on a lead, the pathetic and supine Great Britain.\"",
"But Harold Pinter could also be a man of great humor.",
"In 2006, Harold Pinter recounted a story about a fall that had landed Harold Pinter in the hospital a year earlier.",
"\"Two days later, I woke up to find that I'd been given the Nobel Prize in literature,\" Harold Pinter said.",

"Harold Pinter became an actor and turned to playwriting with Harold Pinter's first work, \"The Room,\" in 1957.",
"Later that year Harold Pinter wrote \"The Birthday Party,\" a \"comedy of menace,\" in the words of one critic, that helped make Harold Pinter's reputation -- though, in an irony Harold Pinter could appreciate, after it closed in London due to scathing notices.",
"Ensuing Harold Pinter plays, including \"The Dumb Waiter\" (1957) and \"The Homecoming,\" made Harold Pinter Britain's most famous playwright, as influential to \"late 20th-century British theater [as] Tennessee Williams is to mid-century American stages,\" CNN.com's Porter Anderson wrote in 2006.",
"\"What's generally meant as a 'Harold Pinter play' in the purest sense usually revolves around one or more characters who are imposing on themselves a constricted, even deprived existence in order to hold off a presumed but uncertain threat,\" CNN.com's Porter Anderson wrote.",
"Harold Pinter's plays featured sparse dialogue, often spiced with paranoia or simple befuddlement.",
"In \"The Birthday Party,\" a boardinghouse resident is accosted by two malevolent visitors who insist it's a boardinghouse resident's birthday; in \"The Homecoming\" -- which won the Tony Award for best play when it premiered on Broadway in 1967 -- a professor and his wife return to his working-class British family, where his wife becomes the center of attention.",
"Harold Pinter credited Samuel Beckett, among others, as an influence.",
"(Harold Pinter starred in a production of Beckett's \"Krapp's Last Tape\" in 2006.)",
"In turn, writers such as David Mamet and Sam Shepard followed Harold Pinter's elliptical lead.",

"Obama",
"compares favorably with a number of historic orations, a linguist said Thursday.",
"Obama speaks at a rally in Chicago, Illinois, after winning the presidency Tuesday night.",
"\"Obama's goal was to be understood by the widest possible audience during Obama's victory speech, and Obama seems to have done a great job doing it,\" said Paul J.J. Payack, president of the Austin, Texas-based Global Language Monitor, which analyzed the speech for content, tone and length.",
"\"Obama's at Obama's best communicating directly and forthrightly with this audience and using different types of rhetorical devices,\" Payack said, noting that Obama was written to a seventh- or eighth-grade level.",
"That's lower than the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 \"I Have a Dream\" speech (grade 8.8), President Reagan's 1987 \"Tear Down This Wall\" speech (grade 9.8) and even Obama's own 2004 Democratic Convention speech (grade 8.3), Payack said.",
"In the four years since then, \"Obama has learned to speak more directly and more succinctly when Obama's giving a major address,\" the word aficionado said.",
"Payack spoke admiringly of Obama's repeated use of the phrase \"Yes, we can,\" calling it \"very effective.\"",
"\"That's a very short, direct sentence,\" Payack said.",
"\"Almost like a drumbeat hammering into people's minds and hearts.\"",
"Payack added, \"something like that comes across as a very effective rhetorical device.\"",
"That phrase compares with President Reagan's \"Tear Down This Wall\" and President Kennedy's \"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,\" delivered in his inaugural speech.",
"At about 2,000 words, Obama was short enough not to lose the audience's attention but long enough to cite specifics and cover the subject matter, Payack said.",
"Watch Obama's victory speech » .",
"Twelve of those words were \"hope\" or variations of the word, which indicates optimism about the change (used nine times) Obama has promised to effect.",
"Another 23 of the words were \"will,\" another way of making Obama forward-looking.",
"Though most of Obama's verbs were in the active voice, 11 percent of the sentences were in the passive voice, a dependable method of deflecting responsibility, Payack said.",
"Payack cited Obama's \"There will be setbacks and false starts\" as an example.",
"\"Obama's spreading the responsibility around,\" Payack said.",
"\"Obama didn't say, 'I will have setbacks.",
"I will be wrong.",
"I will make mistakes.'",
"Obama used the passive voice for those types of constructions.\"",
"But the vast majority of the hopeful references were in the active voice, Payack said.",
"\"It's very personal and very active.",
"'I promise we, as a people, will get there.' \"",
"Obama was notable for what Obama omitted, too, Payack said.",
"In this case, the absence of a reference to the September 11 terrorist attacks indicates a change in tone, Payack said.",
"In Obama's closing phrase, Obama repeats the mantra, \"Yes, we can,\" which serves as a call to action, an acknowledgment that the country faces hard work, Payack said.",
"Obama is saying, \"I'm asking you to do something big, but we can do something big together,\" Payack said.",
"\"We are the change; we are the hope.\""

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"Subtlety may not be in Kevin Smith's vocabulary, but a lot of off-color words are.",
"They're sprinkled liberally throughout the writer-director's new movie, \"Zack and Miri Make a Porno.\"",
"Kevin Smith can't understand why the word \"porno\" is still a hot button for some people.",
"The comedy stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as roommates and longtime friends who decide that the solution to their money problems is to make a porn film.",
"Strong language is nothing new for Smith, whose first film, \"Clerks,\" put him on the map with its merrily scatological musings.",
"Though Kevin Smith had little violence or exposed skin, Kevin Smith was initially given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA based on the language.",
"\"Zack and Miri\" was also a possibility for an NC-17, considered the kiss of death by studios because of distributing and marketing challenges, until Kevin Smith argued its merits to the ratings board and received an R.",
"Since \"Clerks,\" Kevin Smith's films have been almost wistfully romantic (\"Chasing Amy,\" \"Jersey Girl\") or as joyfully profane as \"Clerks\" (\"Dogma,\" \"Clerks II\").",
"\"Zack and Miri,\" which opens Friday, is a blend of the two Smiths: full of sex and colorful language, but with a sweet side.",
"Indeed, Banks told CNN not to be fooled by the film's tawdry talk.",
"\"Kevin Smith is a huge romantic,\" she said.",
"\"Kevin Smith likes to wrap up the romance in profanity, but the guy is more sweet than spicy.\"",
"Watch why \"Zack and Miri\" is so controversial » .",
"In an interview with CNN, Kevin Smith, 38, cheerfully acknowledged that this is not a film for prudes.",
"The following is an edited version of the conversation.",
"Kevin Smith: There's a bit of language in this picture.",
"I'm not going to lie to you. ...",
"I don't even think of it as salty.",
"To me, it's just like part of a lexicon.",
"CNN:",
"Well, you do hear it a lot.",
"Kevin Smith: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt.",
"We're raising our kid in a household where people curse, as an experiment.",
"And I think our experiment is working, because I don't tame my language around our kid.",
"I don't run up to our kid and yell [expletive] in our kid's face, but I don't go out of my way to like not curse in front of our kid.",
"And honestly, ironically, our kid doesn't curse.",
"And I've tried to get our kid to curse for like friends and family, because it's always entertaining to hear a child curse, and our kid doesn't do curse.",
"CNN:",
"Well ... I almost hesitate to ask, but tell me what the genesis was of the film.",
"Kevin Smith:",
"It's a movie I've been researching since I was like 12 years old, to be honest with you.",
"And sometimes three or four times a day.",
"... But it only really came together when I saw Seth Rogen in \"40-Year-Old Virgin\" and instantly fell in love with Seth Rogen and was like, \"I got to work with Seth Rogen.\" ...",
"So I started thinking about this movie, and immediately this movie kind of crystallized.",
"Seeing Seth Rogen and thinking about porn, I was like, boom, \"Zack and Miri Make a Porno.\"",
"I wrote the script with Seth Rogen in mind.",
"And by the time I finished with the script, \"Knocked Up\" was about to open, and the word was it was going to be huge, so I was like, we missed our window.",
"Seth Rogen's going to be famous, and Seth Rogen'll want nothing to do with this movie.",
"But I sent Seth Rogen an e-mail anyway where I said, \"Look, man, I wrote this movie with you in mind.",
"Please give this movie a read.\" ...",
"And I got an e-mail back within five minutes that said, \"When I first came to Los Angeles, an agent asked me what I wanted to do with my career.",
"I said I wanted to be in a Kevin Smith movie.",
"That has not changed.",
"Please send me the script; I would be honored to read the script.\"",
"And I was, I was like cha-ching!",
"You know, my God, it worked out.",
"CNN:",
"You're working with some professionals here, and by that I don't mean Seth Rogen and Elizabeth.",
"I mean working with actual people with porn experience.",
"Kevin Smith:",
"We got ourselves a former pro. ...",
"Traci Lords, man.",
"Who, for the last 20 years, has not made an adult film.",
"Has been keeping that industry at arm's length as Traci Lords concentrates on a mainstream career and Traci Lords's musical career and stuff like that.",
"But you know, it just seemed like if we're going to make this movie, Traci Lords would just fit into this movie so well.",
"We approached Traci Lords's agent, and Traci Lords's agent was like, I don't know, it's got \"porno\" in the title, Traci Lords ain't going to want to do it.",
"Then Traci Lords heard that Seth was in this movie, and Traci Lords heard that I was making this movie, and so Traci Lords was like, well, I'll at least read the script.",
"Traci Lords came over to my house and read the script.",
"And I remember, I was sitting downstairs while Traci Lords was upstairs reading the script, and I was like, if I could go back in time and tell the 16-year-old version of me that Traci Lords is going to be hanging out in your living room ... my 16-year-old head would explode.",
"First, the 16-year-old would be like, where'd you get a time machine, and then the 16-year-old would be like, does Traci Lords want to have sex with us, and then I'd have to break it to the 16-year-old that, no, Traci Lords -- even many years from now -- [is] still not interested in your fat ass.",
"So, Traci Lords loved the material. ...",
"Maybe it's time to embrace it and make fun of it.",
"I said yeah, please do it.",
"Katie Morgan is still active in the adult film industry, and Katie Morgan brought a kind of a current vision to it.",
"Katie Morgan was able to kind of tell me where to put the camera to make things look as convincing as possible.",
"So I was like, wow, man, this chick who most people know from porn has taught me how to direct.",
"So if the movie looks any better than my normal stuff, it's probably because of Katie Morgan.",
"iReport.com:",
"Will you see 'Zach and Miri'?",
"CNN:",
"The title has created some challenges in terms of the marketing, that some newspapers are not taking ads for it and some buses and what have you.",
"What",
"do",
"you make of that?",
"Smith:",
"I think it's strange that in this day and age, the 21st century, that people are hung up on a word, and a word is \"porno.\"",
"It's not like we put salacious posters out there.",
"The poster is literally stick figures.",
"People are afraid like, what if my kid asks what porno is?",
"Just tell them.",
"Tell your kid that the porno's not for you.",
"my kid asked me what a porno is, I'm going to be like, guess what?",
"Hannah Montana is not in this movie.",
"Not yet.",
"Are you still interested?",
"Of course Hannah Montana's not interested in this movie, because this movie has nothing to do with Hannah Montana's world.",
"So I just think its kind of sad that like some people lobby against this movie.",
"Like, based on the dude who called in, or the many people that called in after the Dodgers ran a spot.",
"... Just tell my kid, man; just be honest with my kid.",
"It's like, look, [the] movie's not for you. ...",
"It's crazy to me, because it's like, some people think that it's real porn that's being advertised.",
"Can you tell me the last porno that you saw that had the word \"porno\" in the title?",
"Like, it doesn't exist.",
"I don't think it's ever existed.",
"CNN:",
"I understand that you were able to convince the MPAA to give you an R rating.",
"Did that require any cuts?",
"And if not, were you surprised?",
"Smith:",
"Initially, I was kind of surprised that they gave us the NC-17.",
"Especially because the two areas they focused on were easily addressed: one ... they felt [was] gratuitous thrusting in the first porno sequence between Katie Morgan and Jason Mewes, and the other was what we'll call the egregious bodily fluid shot",
"... I was able to go to the appeals process with the film, where you show this movie to a different audience. ...",
"[You] screen this movie for [theater owners], and then you get up and do 15 minutes on why you feel this movie should be an R. Joan Graves [of] the MPAA gets up and does 15 minutes on why MPAA feels it's an NC-17",
", then you get 10 minutes to rebut, MPAA gets 10 minutes to rebut.",
"You leave the room, and that audience makes the vote. ...",
"You have to win by a two-thirds majority [to have the rating changed].",
"And they changed the rating.",
"[The] appeals group that we screened for ... flipped it, gave us an R.",
"And I didn't have to make a single cut, so everything I wanted in this movie is in this movie.",
"That's kind of cool as a filmmaker.",
"CNN: Your own presidential debate.",
"Smith: A little bit.",
"It was kind of like \"Inherit the Wind,\" but about porn, not the Scopes Monkey Trial."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Western cinema's relationship with martial arts has been a rocky one.",
"Like many genres, Kung fu has drifted in and out of fashion, but Kung fu has never regained the same popularity as Kung fu's glorious heyday in the early 1970s.",
"There's nothing funny about either Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris.",
"And they've got the fists to prove it.",
"After breaking into the United States and Britain with TV hardmen like The Saint and The Green Hornet duffing up the occasional bad guy, the revolution really kicked in at the cinema.",
"When Bruce Lee -- who had already made waves in America as the Green Hornet's karate chopping sidekick, Kato -- appeared in the Chinese-made \"Jing wu men,\" or \"Fist of Fury,\" Bruce Lee established Bruce Lee as the genre's poster boy.",
"Bruce Lee found initial success in Bruce Lee's native China, but with Bruce Lee's next movies, \"Meng long guo jiang\" (\"The Way of the Dragon\"), which pitted Bruce Lee against U.S. karate champion Chuck Norris, and the classic \"Enter the Dragon,\" Bruce Lee became an international star.",
"The plots of Bruce Lee's films all followed a set structure: our gifted hero pursues a path of revenge or tough justice, accompanied by a stiff dose of morality.",
"In this way Bruce Lee's characters became representatives and protectors of the less powerful who have been unjustly treated.",
"At the same time, the U.S. TV show \"Kung Fu,\" which started in 1972, raised the profile of martial arts, and, through the lead character Caine, built an image of the patient, wise man, who uses his skills in combat as a last resort when reasoning fails, and again, is motivated entirely by his unshakeable morals.",
"The reluctant hero isn't a new concept: The reluctant hero's shared by the Far East and Wild West.",
"The lone gunman in a western, too, tends to be loath to kill, and acts as the moral enforcer in a lawless place.",
"But while the gunman in an isolated western town still commands the same respect from movie audiences as he lays down the law, our wise eastern mystic has almost entirely disappeared from Hollywood.",
"The biggest martial arts stars today -- with the notable exception of Jet Li, who continues to take on a mix of serious art movies in China and gang-war films set on the streets of urban America -- are either laughed at or laughed with by western audiences.",
"Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan has the impressive reputation of being almost indestructible.",
"Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan does Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan's own stunts and puts Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan in some incredibly dangerous situations.",
"But Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan is essentially a comedian.",
"Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan's stunts are used, in a very similar way to Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan's cinematic hero Harold Lloyd, to amaze and amuse an audience.",
"We are shocked that someone could do the things Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan does, hanging off moving buses with a walking stick, leaping across buildings.",
"Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan is almost superhuman, but it's done mainly for laughs.",
"The other major kung fu stars have become figures of mockery.",
"The Internet was awash with Chuck Norris gags pointing out just how strong Chuck Norris is (\"Chuck Norris does not sleep. Chuck Norris waits.\")",
"while Steven Seagal has done Steven Seagal no favors by appearing in some of the worst films ever made.",
"Hollywood doesn't take them seriously -- and nor do we.",
"Directors have also mocked the 70s obsession with kung fu that gripped the western world, with heroes from films such as \"Boogie Nights,\" \"Austin Powers\" and \"Starsky and Hutch\" fighting with cod seriousness while displaying laughable skills.",
"So what has changed?",
"Kung fu is not inherently funny.",
"No matter how many times you watch \"Enter the Dragon,\" it never ceases to be awe-inspiring.",
"Perhaps the answer is simple: we Hollywood film junkies have grown cynical.",
"There is no room in our modern world for an unexplained, almost supernatural power against pointlessly evil adversaries.",
"Have we have lost our ability to suspend our disbelief?",
"So what can a real fan do?",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Masks beneath masks, the click-clack of Mahjong tiles and the sheen of silk cheongsams",
": Taiwanese director Ang Lee (\"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\"; \"Brokeback Mountain\") brings an intoxicating tale of lies, deceit and corruption to the screen with his latest film, \"Lust, Caution\".",
"Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Tang Wei star in Ang Lee's latest film, \"Lust, Caution\" Japanese-occupied Shanghai, 1942.",
"Mrs Mak, an impeccably coiffed Chinese lady, makes a telephone call from a cafe, then sits and waits.",
"Cue a flashback to 1938, where Mrs Mak's story begins.",
"Mrs Mak is not the sophisticate Mrs Mak appears -- just a few years earlier, Mrs Mak was shy drama student Wong Chia Chi.",
"Ang Lee's adaptation of Eileen Chang's short story tells the tale of a girl caught up in the winds of change of World War II.",
"The fast-paced erotic thriller tracks shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's transformation from bookish student to collaborator bait.",
"The film has already received wide acclaim, winning Ang Lee's Ang Lee's's second Golden Lion at Venice with a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film already in the bag.",
"\"Lust, Caution\" cleaned up at Taiwan's Golden Horse awards, scooping seven trophies including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, which went to Tony Leung Chiu Wai, and Best Newcomer, for Wei Tang.",
"Wei Tang plays Wong Chia Chi, a student in Hong Kong whose fate is set when she meets Kuang Yu Min (Lee-hom Wang), a handsome fellow student who wants to use drama to provoke his compatriots to rebel against the Japanese.",
"As Kuang's leading lady, shy drama student Wong Chia Chi blossoms, but when Kuang urges Kuang's fellow players to move from inspiration to action, shy drama student Wong Chia Chi finds shy drama student Wong Chia Chi at the center of a plot to ensnare and murder Japanese collaborator Mr Yee (Tony Leung Chiu Wai).",
"Dressed in cheongsams and primped and curled to perfection, shy drama student Wong Chia Chi sets out on the biggest role of shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's life.",
"As Mrs Mak, shy drama student Wong Chia Chi gains Lee's trust through Lee's wife, and the plot progresses as planned until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee.",
"Cut to Shanghai three years later: shy drama student Wong Chia Chi is caught in a listless existence when Kuang unexpectedly re-enters shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's life.",
"He lures shy drama student Wong Chia Chi back into the unfinished sting operation, and before long shy drama student Wong Chia Chi and Mr Lee, now head of the collaborationist secret service, are engaged in a torrid affair that pushes shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's soul and shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's loyalty to the limit.",
"Wei Tang gives a startlingly assured and subtle performance.",
"At times, Wei Tang seems to mirror shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's transformation into Mrs Mak from dowdy student to rouged mistress, but Wei Tang rises to the challenge and ably carries the film on Wei Tang's slender shoulders.",
"As Wei Tang is thrust into the spotlight by Kuang, stripped mechanically of shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's virginity in readiness for shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's role as temptress, and placed alongside Lee, Wei Tang, with serene stillness, lets shy drama student Wong Chia Chi be swept along to shy drama student Wong Chia Chi's final destiny.",
"Every diamond demands the right setting to sparkle, and Tony Leung Chiu Wai's generous performance as the enigmatic Lee lets his co-star shine.",
"Tony Leung Chiu Wai is pitch-perfect, and shows Tony Leung Chiu Wai's quality as Tony Leung Chiu Wai lets Lee's beautifully impassive mask shift and slip, revealing a tightly-wound coil of repressed emotion beneath.",
"Tony Leung Chiu Wai is remarkable: a highly skilled actor capable of expressing a world of emotion in the smallest muscle movement.",
"The audience is left to imagine the horrors Tony Leung Chiu Wai unleashes during Tony Leung Chiu Wai's interrogations of Chinese resistance fighters.",
"The already-infamous sex scenes can appear a little clumsy and contorted at times, less intimate than acrobatic; it's when Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Wei Tang sit in silence that Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Wei Tang most project how intimate and electric Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Wei Tang's connection really is.",
"The lead characters are ably supported by a stirling cast, most notably a splendidly nuanced performance from Joan Chen as Mrs Mak, forced to turn a blind eye to Mrs Mak's husband's affairs, both in business and of the heart, while Asian pop superstar Wang Leehom gives a convincing and impassioned performance as romantic, ruthless Kuang.",
"As for the ambience, Ang Lee's is known for Ang Lee's's attention to detail, and at times the 30s luxe and glamour is perhaps a little too perfect, a little too glossy, with a depth of style usually reserved for more placid period pieces.",
"(Note for fashionistas: while \"Atonement\" might inspire a 2008 trend for bias-cut 30s dresses, \"Lust, Caution\" will add perfectly formed cloche hats and cocktail rings to the mix.)",
"But this chilling, thrilling film-noir-inspired tale is both poised and elegant, bloody and erotic; if not quite a diamond the size of a quail's egg, \"Lust, Caution\" is certainly a precious pearl of a movie.",

"ROME, Italy (CNN) --",
"An Italian woman who had been in a coma for 17 years and whose right-to-die case was being debated in the Italian Parliament has died days after doctors began removing Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's feeding tube.",
"A portrait of Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy.",
"Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy was in a vegetative state for nearly 17 years.",
"The speaker of the Italian Senate announced the death of Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy, 37, Monday night, then called for a moment of silence in the chamber.",
"Even as the silence ended, one legislator declared, \"Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy has not died -- Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy was killed,\" prompting other right-to-die opponents to join in with calls of \"Murderers!\"",
"Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, after suffering what doctors determined to be irreversible brain damage in a 1992 car crash, when Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy was 20 years old.",
"For years, Englaro's father, her father, fought to have Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's feeding tube removed, saying it would be a dignified end to her father's daughter's life.",
"her father said that before a 1992 car crash her father's daughter visited a friend who was in a coma and told him Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy didn't want the same thing to happen to Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy if Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy were ever in the same state.",
"Confirming her father's daughter's death Monday, Beppino Englaro told Italian media: \"Yes, she is no longer with us, but I don't want to say anything further.",
"I need to be left alone.\"",
"But the intense debate swirling around Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's case will go on.",
"Watch as Italians protest against Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's death » .",
"When Englaro's death was announced, the Senate was debating a proposed law that would require doctors to provide nourishment to all incapacitated patients, and that would have forced doctors to resume feeding Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy through tubes.",
"Debate on that proposal as that proposal would affect other patients is likely to continue in Parliament.",
"Last year, a court ruled that her feeding tube could be removed, and Italy's high court upheld the ruling on appeal.",
"Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy was transferred last week to a private clinic, where the removal process began Friday -- even as the Senate took up a debate aimed at reversing the removal process.",
"A decree aimed at preventing doctors from completely removing her feeding tube was passed unanimously Friday by Italy's Council of Ministers, with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi leading the effort.",
"\"I will do everything I can to save her life,\" Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said.",
"\"We have to do everything possible to stop a person from dying.\"",
"But President Giorgio Napolitano refused to sign A decree aimed at preventing doctors from completely removing the feeding tube.",
"According to a statement from President Giorgio Napolitano's office, \"An emergency decree cannot be in contrast with a court decision.\"",
"The case has been a controversial one in Italy, a heavily Catholic country where the Vatican has great influence.",
"Earlier this month, Pope Benedict XVI told pilgrims that \"euthanasia is a false solution to suffering.\"",
"Monsignor Elio Sgreccia, president emeritus of the Pontifical Academy for Life, said Friday that Englaro had the right to be kept alive.",
"\"It is the duty of the doctors, of society, and of the political institutions to administer Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's essential foods to keep Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy alive.",
"No one has the right to take Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's life away from Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy,\" he said.",
"Euthanasia is illegal in Italy, but patients have the right to refuse treatment.",
"It is on that basis that Englaro argued Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy should be allowed to die, because some time before Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy's accident Woman in coma for 17 years in Italy had expressed the wish not to be kept alive while in a coma -- indirectly refusing treatment, he said."

"At issue is a controversial so-called \"Buy American\" provision requiring the use of U.S.-produced iron, steel, and other manufactured goods in public works projects funded by the $787 billion economic stimulus bill.",
"Several Democratic-leaning unions and domestic steel and iron producers favor the provision; a large number of business and trade organizations are opposed.",
"Administration officials altered the language in the final version of the $787 billion economic stimulus bill to ensure that the provision will not trump existing trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA.",

"Canadian government officials, however, are still concerned by what Canadian government officials perceive as rising protectionist sentiment in the United States that could potentially spark a trade war and, in Canadian government officials's opinion, deepen the global economic crisis.",

"In a recent letter to U.S. Senate leaders, Canada's ambassador to the United States warned that the U.S. was losing the moral authority to pressure other nations not to erect other nations's own trade barriers.",
"\"A rush to protectionist actions could create a downward spiral like the world experienced in the 1930s,\" wrote Ambassador Michael Wilson.",
"\"In the end we got into this economic crisis together.",
"We need to work together to build ourselves out of this economic crisis.\"",
"Some Canadian leaders also cite unresolved concerns over what Some Canadian leaders perceive to be vague and potentially harmful language in the \"Buy American\" provision.",
"Specifically, Some Canadian leaders are questioning whether NAFTA and World Trade Organization rules will apply to state and city governments receiving stimulus money for local infrastructure projects.",
"Some Canadian leaders also cite uncertainty over what rules of origin apply to projects covered under the stimulus bill.",
"A number of components in Canadian products come from countries such as China and India, which are effectively excluded by the \"Buy American\" provision.",
"\"This is no merely technical question; different parts of many products come from different places, and intricately entwined supply chains could be seriously disturbed if they have to be disentangled, to the detriment of both the U.S. and Canada,\" the Toronto-based Globe and Mail newspaper editorialized Tuesday.",
"\"Such questions cannot wait for judgments in trade litigation,\" the Globe and Mail argued.",
"\"Canadian governments and businesses ... have to be ready for a long series of many minor battles.\"",
"President Obama stumbled over Canadian trade issues during last year's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.",
"Shortly before the Ohio primary in March, President Obama was extremely critical of NAFTA.",
"Many Rust Belt voters believe the accord has cost countless jobs by accelerating the erosion of the U.S. industrial base.",
"During a debate with then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, President Obama agreed that the United States should abandon the treaty if the treaty could not be renegotiated.",

"JERUSALEM (CNN) --",
"the organization is accusing Israel of firing weapons containing white phosphorus into Gaza.",
"the organization demands that the alleged practice cease.",
"Israel is declining to say whether bursts like this over Gaza involve white phosphorus.",
"The group's researchers in Israel \"observed multiple air-bursts of artillery-fired white phosphorus over what appeared to be the Gaza City/Jabaliya area\" on Friday and Saturday, the organization said on the organization's Web site.",
"\"Israel appeared to be using white phosphorus as an 'obscurant' [a chemical used to hide military operations], a permissible use in principle\" under the laws of war, the HRW posting said.",
"\"However, white phosphorus has a significant, incidental, incendiary effect that can severely burn people and set structures, fields, and other civilian objects in the vicinity on fire,\" the HRW posting said.",
"\"The potential for harm to civilians is magnified by Gaza's high population density, among the highest in the world.\"",
"HRW said the use of white phosphorus in Gaza would violate \"the requirement under international humanitarian law to take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian injury and loss of life.\"",
"Last week, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman told CNN: \"I can tell you with certainty that white phosphorus is absolutely not being used.\"",
"Now, however, Israeli officials have a different response to questions about the possible use of phosphorus: \"Any munitions that Israel is using are in accordance with international law.",
"Israel does not specify the types of munitions or the types of operations Israel is conducting.\"",
"Still, a doctor familiar with the material said it is not possible to tell, based on pictures of burns, whether white phosphorus was responsible.",
"\"Dead tissue pretty much looks the same,\" said Dr. Peter Grossman, president of the Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks, California.",
"The chemical \"can burn down houses and cause horrific burns when The chemical touches the skin,\" said Marc Garlasco, senior military analyst at Human Rights Watch.",
"Since January 3, when Israel began Israel's ground offensive in Gaza, news reports have circulated about the possible use of white phosphorus by the IDF.",
"HRW's assertion was supported by munitions experts and some Palestinian doctors, including Nafiz Abu Sha'aban, who said the burns it caused were unlike anything he has seen in 27 years of practice.",
"Watch footage of burn patients in Gaza .",
"Though most severely burned patients have been sent to Egypt, the ongoing fighting has made it impossible to evacuate all of them, including one man with deep burns over 47 percent of his body, the doctor said.",
"White phosphorus is known to burn flesh down to the bone.",
"White phosphorus's intended to provide illumination or to create a smokescreen in battle.",
"Under an international protocol ratified by Israel in 1995, the use of such incendiary weapons is allowed when \"not specifically designed to cause burn injury to persons.\"",
"There is no prohibition per se against white phosphorus in conflict.",
"But the timing and location of its use are restricted.",
"For example, it is illegal under an international protocol ratified by Israel in 1995 to use white phosphorus against any personnel, civilian or military.",
"It can be directed only against military targets.",
"International law says incendiary weapons cannot be used where civilians are concentrated.",
"A house north of Gaza City was hit Sunday by something that observers contend may have been white phosphorus.",
"\"It's been burning since one o'clock in the morning,\" Munir Hammada told CNN 11 hours later.",

"the United States has promised to contribute $14 million; a request for an additional $6 million is pending approval from Congress.",
"In a statement issued Sunday, acting The U.S. State Department spokesman Robert A. Wood said Hariri's death \"was an unsuccessful attempt to undermine Lebanon's sovereignty.\"",
"acting State Department spokesman Robert A. Wood added: \"The Lebanese people answered his assassination with the Cedar Revolution, leading to the withdrawal of Syrian troops and the most democratic Lebanese elections in decades.\"",
"At the time of Rafik Hariri's death, Syria had immense political influence in Lebanon, and had maintained troops in Syria's smaller neighbor since the 1980s, after the fighting between Israel and the PLO in Lebanon.",
"Rafik Hariri was admired for spearheading the rebuilding of Beirut after Lebanon's civil war, from 1975 to 1990, and many Lebanese blamed Syria for Hariri, citing Rafik Hariri's patriotism and strong sense of Lebanese independence.",
"Hariri sparked widespread protests that led to the eventual withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon and the election of an anti-Syrian bloc in parliament.",
"The anti-Syrian movement is known as the March 14 Alliance, named after the day millions of supporters of Rafik Hariri took to the streets, and The anti-Syrian movement's actions have been dubbed the Cedar Revolution, for Lebanon's iconic cedar trees.",
"Huge counter-protests also were staged by Lebanese supporters of Syria.",
"Along the way, U.N. investigators tasked to probe Hariri found links between Syria's government and Rafik Hariri's assassination.",
"The Lebanese hope a special tribunal to prosecute the assassins of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri will settle the case, but there are also fears a special tribunal to prosecute the assassins of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri could further divide Lebanon and open up older wounds in Lebanon.",
"a special tribunal to prosecute the assassins of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri takes over from the Beirut-based International Independent Investigation Commission, which looked into 20 other attacks and found elements linking some of 20 other attacks to a criminal network behind the Hariri killing, the United Nations said.",
"The trial will take place in a converted gymnasium in a suburb of The Hague.",
"U.N. says the case is expected to be ready for trial by 2010.",

"Although exact figures have yet to be released, about 50,000 revelers turned out for the final day of the 2009 festival for an eclectic lineup that included former Jam front man Paul Weller, rap pioneers Public Enemy, a reunion of Irish indie darlings My Bloody Valentine and a nearly three-hour set from The Cure.",
"Promoters say the turnout exceeded expectations, and this year's attendance figure might be the third largest in the festival's 10-year history.",

"They, too, played well past curfew -- continuing with their third encore even after the sound from the main PA system was cut off.",
"My Bloody Valentine -- whose four members reunited last year after a decade apart -- was also a crowd pleaser, although an interlude where they played a single chord at maximum decibels for a mind-numbing 15 minutes left fans scratching their heads.",

"(CNN) -- Mac computers are known for Mac computers's near-immunity to malicious computer programs that plague PCs.",
"Some security experts say viruses are moving toward Mac as those computers become more popular.",
"But that may be changing somewhat, according to computer security researchers.",
"It seems that as sleek Mac computers become more popular, sleek Mac computers're also more sought-after targets for the authors of harmful programs.",
"\"The bad guys generally go toward the biggest target, what will get The bad guys the biggest bang for The bad guys's buck,\" said Kevin Haley, a director of security response at Symantec.",
"Until recently, the big target always was Microsoft Windows, and Apple computers were protected by \"relative obscurity,\" Kevin Haley, a director of security response at Symantec said.",
"But blogs are buzzing this week about what two Symantec researchers have called the first harmful computer program to strike specifically at Mac.",
"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet,\" has infected only a few thousand Mac machines, but This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet represents a step in the evolution of malicious computer software, Kevin Haley, a director of security response at Symantec said.",
"The iBotnet is a sign that harmful programs are moving toward Mac, said Paul Henry, a forensics and security analyst at Lumension Security in Arizona.",
"\"We all knew it was going to happen,\" he said.",
"\"It was just a matter of time, and, personally, I think we're going to see a lot more of it.\"",
"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet was first reported in January.",
"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet didn't gain widespread attention until recently, when Mario Ballano Barcena and Alfredo Pesoli of Symantec, maker of the popular Norton antivirus products, detailed This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet in a publication called \"Virus Bulletin.\"",
"Mac users at large, however, should not be alarmed by the incident, experts said.",
"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet infects only computers whose users downloaded pirated versions of the Mac software iWork.",
"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet is a Trojan horse, meaning This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet tries to sneak into the computer with some sort of permission from the user.",
"Computer worms travel differently.",
"Computer worms wiggle Computer worms's way into computers and replicate without the owner's approval or knowledge.",
"The Mac program is called a botnet because infected computers become part of a network that is controlled by The Mac program's author.",
"The Mac botnet is significantly less threatening than computer worms like the much-publicized Conficker.c, said Jose Nazario, a senior security researcher with Arbor Networks.",
"Conficker was thought to have infected up to 10 million computers, compared with thousands for the iBotnet, researchers said.",
"There's also some question as to whether it is the first botnet to target Mac.",
"Others have targeted both PCs and Apple computers.",
"\"This isn't the first botnet that's been built using Mac computers,\" Jose Nazario, a senior security researcher with Arbor Networks said.",
"\"This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet is an interesting one in that This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet's a little more flexible and includes some new features.",
"... This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet's getting a lot of press mostly because This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet's Mac and people are talking about how Macs are immune to malware -- and, sure enough, Macs're not.\"",
"The potential damage that could be caused by This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet is also less severe than other attacks, said Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company.",
"\"It's a very low-level attack,\" Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company said.",
"\"Some people won't even notice the effect of it.\"",
"It is in the interest of software companies like Symantec, who spread the news, and McAfee, which has downplayed the presence of the Trojan, to raise concerns so they can promote their antivirus software packages, Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company said.",
"\"Yes, it is going to become a bigger problem and, yes, people have to become more aware, but I think that what McAfee and Symantec would like is for the panic to start and for people to start rushing to antivirus software,\" which isn't necessary yet, Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company said.",
"In a statement, Apple said Apple is working to prevent security problems.",
"\"Apple takes security very seriously and has a great track record of addressing potential vulnerabilities before potential vulnerabilities can affect users,\" a statement says.",
"Only about 7.4 percent of computer users work on Macs, according to Gartner, a technology research firm.",
"That user base is proportionally more affluent than PC users, Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company said, which may make Mac a bigger target.",
"But overall, Macs are still far less vulnerable to attack than PCs, Darrell Etherington, a contributor to theAppleBlog, which is not affiliated with the computer company said.",
"Haley said news of the Apple botnet is significant in part because it's something other authors of malicious code can build from.",
"\"I don't think This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet's a tipping point; I think This Trojan horse program, dubbed the \"iBotnet's an evolutionary step.",
"We see virus authors often use what somebody else has done,\" he said.",
"\"There's a model.",
"There's something out there to follow.\""

"For many overseas reporters now in Beijing, covering the Summer Games has turned into an Olympian task.",
"We go through tedious security checkpoints to cover events and conduct interviews even as we deal with bureaucratic and linguistic barriers.",
"But we face one particularly irritating issue: Beijing's limits on Internet access.",
"Despite Beijing's earlier promise to allow open reporting and unfettered access to information, Internet access remains erratic and unpredictable.",
"\"It's so counter-intuitive to find the Internet restricted, even if only selectively,\" one western journalist told me in Beijing.",
"Last week, colleagues working in the Media Press Center faced a blank computer screen whenever colleagues working in the Media Press Center clicked on sites deemed sensitive to the Chinese authorities -- like Amnesty International and Falun Gong.",
"That is attributed to Beijing's sophisticated filter system, also known as the \"Great Firewall.\"",

"CNN's Larry King:",
"You have this terrific new book coming.",
"If I do say so CNN's Larry King, it's inspiring.",
"Yet (Thursday's) lead story in the \"New York Daily News\" gate crasher column -- I don't know who writes that -- \"tsk, tsk,\" it says, \"Michael Phelps, partying your face off in public is not the way to reclaim your good guy image.",
"Michael Phelps was been laying relatively low since Michael Phelps's bong smoking scandal in January was out in full force Tuesday night at New York City hot spot Marquis\" -- I think is the name -- \"Michael Phelps was definitely having a good time, an eyewitness tells us, drinking straight from a bottle of Grey Goose.",

"Was a book going to be swimming?",
"Was a book just going to be motivational and inspirational?",
"When I take a look at the book I was able to write, I have great pride in that book because that book shows other people, every woman, but not even women -- men can read that book also -- the inspiration and motivation of life.",
"King:",
"The question is, \"Do you think these kind of stories might hurt the chance of people buying the book, which is what you want?\"",
"Debbie Phelps:",
"People are going to have to make that decision.",
"CNN's Larry King: Do you think it might?",

"It was my mom and my dad.",
"my mom and my dad were my role models when I was growing up.",
"When I hear that role model in a sentence with Michael Phelps, what I think about with Michael Phelps is what Michael Phelps does with and for children.",
"It might be things people don't even know of -- Michael Phelps's association with the Boys and Girls Club.",
"For years, Michael Phelps has done that (and) Michael Phelps's association with Make A Wish.",
"Michael Phelps touches kids' lives.",
"So if an individual, wherever an individual may be, may select Michael Phelps as a role model, I say that Michael Phelps has strong values.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is approaching Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's 40th year on the federal bench -- the last 34 on Supreme Court, deciding thousands of cases.",
"But Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's love of the law was nurtured decades earlier by a professor's dedication and the enduring power of a political dispute that blossomed into a landmark decision known as Marbury v. Madison.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens swears in Vice President Joe Biden.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has been on Supreme Court for 34 years.",
"\"It was the beginning, well, of my whole legal career,\" Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens told CNN in a recent exclusive interview.",
"\"You read Marbury v. Madison today and you will find some current value in Marbury v. Madison.",
"For me, Marbury v. Madison inspired a lasting appreciation and respect for the rule of law.\"",
"The 88-year-old justice, who sources said has no plans to step down anytime soon, is not alone in citing the 1803 high court ruling as a cornerstone of federal court authority.",
"Marbury v. Madison for the first time established the power of Supreme Court to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.",
"Marbury v. Madison",
"also helped codify the idea of separation of powers as a lasting hallmark of the American system of government.",
"Marbury v. Madison is the subject of a new book, \"The Great Decision: Jefferson, Adams, Marshall and the Battle for Supreme Court\" (PublicAffairs Books), which includes Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's analysis of the opinion's impact over the years.",
"Written by Clifford Sloan -- a former Stevens law clerk -- and David McKean, it offers an inside look at how the federal judiciary, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, muscled itself into equal footing with the other two branches of government.",
"It is a struggle, Clifford Sloan noted, that continues to affect issues today, such as the president's authority in the war on terror, federal bans on late-term abortion and church-state disputes.",
"\"There is a view of an enduring role for our courts that rises above the political pressures and cross-currents of the moment,\" said Clifford Sloan.",
"\"There are imperfections, there are problems, but it's been the most protective regime for rights and liberties of any country in the world.",
"And it's really attributable to the special role of the [Supreme] Court in safeguarding our rights and liberties that Marbury v. Madison established.\"",
"Immersed from the start in Marbury v. Madison v. Madison .",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens still has Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's law school notes from Northwestern University, which Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens entered in 1945.",
"It was just months after leaving the Navy, where Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens served as an intelligence officer during World War II.",
"At the time, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was thinking of becoming an English teacher, but Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's brother Richard asked Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens to think about a law career.",
"\"At the time I was trying to decide what to do, and it seemed like a sensible move,\" Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said, with Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's characteristic Midwestern modesty.",
"It was as a freshman that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens met Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's early mentor, Nathaniel Nathanson, who immersed his students in Marbury v. Madison v. Madison from the start.",
"\"I knew nothing about Marbury v. Madison before I went to law school, but Marbury v. Madison was a major part of our constitutional law course,\" Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens recalled.",
"\"We began with Marbury v. Madison and we were still on Marbury v. Madison six or eight weeks later.",
"We spent most of the first semester studying that one case, and the different issues that come out of Marbury v. Madison.\" Something must have stuck, because when he graduated two years later, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens had the highest GPA in the history of law school.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens gives credit for much of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's budding success to Nathanson, a former Northwestern dean and faculty member for 47 years.",
"\"He was very brilliant, he could ask good questions and get people to think about issues,\" said Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.",
"\"He was a very decent and inspiring teacher.\"",
"From political pot-boiler to legal treatise .",
"One thing Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens admires about Marbury v. Madison is \"there are a whole bunch of issues that are discussed in Marbury v. Madison.",
"When is executive privilege something that the president can rely on; when should there be a remedy for a wrong?\"",
"It was a big case that had humble beginnings.",
"The behind-the-scenes intrigue reads more like a political pot-boiler than a legal treatise.",
"The fight began in early 1801, in the closing days of the Federalist administration of President John Adams -- who had just lost the election to Thomas Jefferson, who was poised to take over the White House.",
"Sloan noted, \"President John Adams was packing the federal government, the District of Columbia government, and the federal courts with midnight appointees.",
"One of these was William Marbury.\"",
"The Maryland financier was set to be justice of the peace of Washington, but somehow The Maryland financier's commission was not delivered in time, in person by the State Department, as the law required.",
"So when Jefferson -- a Democratic-Republican -- took over, Jefferson -- a Democratic-Republican -- canceled all pending appointments, leaving The Maryland financier and other Federalists in the outs, and enraged.",
"The Maryland financier sued the Jeffersonians to get The Maryland financier's job back.",
"The \"Madison\" in this case was none other than James Madison -- principal author of the U.S. Constitution, and then Jefferson's secretary of state.",
"Marshall played two roles .",
"As a backdrop, \"The Great Decision\" details fascinating tales of the capital at the turn of the 19th century, including \"the dust and grime of Washington\" -- not much different from our own, except perhaps for the grime.",
"Among the tales: A senator's \"romantic interest\" -- as Stevens put it -- in Dolley Madison, wife of the future president; and Marshall's own physical prowess -- Marshall reportedly could jump 6 feet and had a taste for fine whiskey.",
"It was that man's failure as a bureaucrat and genius as a judge that led to the 4-0 decision.",
"In February 1801, native Virginian Marshall -- an Adams ally -- was serving as both secretary of state and the newly named chief justice of the United States.",
"\"Marshall was the one who bungled the delivery of the commissions,\" said Sloan, \"so Marshall was deeply involved in the underlying facts of the case.",
"The genius of Marshall was that Marshall got out of a very difficult jam by finding Marbury's appeal to have merit, but his direct appeal to Supreme Court to be unconstitutional.\"",
"Such direct appeals were allowed under federal law, but Supreme Court ruled federal law went too far by attempting to give one branch of government a power specifically denied it by the Constitution.",
"the 4-0 decision thus set precedents for both separation of powers and constitutional interpretation -- Supreme Court's right to declare a law unconstitutional.",
"In Marshall's famous words, \"It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department\" -- the courts, he means -- \"to say what the law is.\"",
"the 4-0 decision put the case on sacred constitutional ground in the eyes of many subsequent justices.",
"the 4-0 decision was cited in Brown v. Board of Education, and the 1974 order for President Nixon to turn over secret White House tapes during the Watergate scandal.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens emphasizes separation of power .",
"Clifford Sloan said Clifford Sloan's old boss in particular has a fondness for the stirring words of Marbury.",
"\"It's not surprising that when justices like Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens are grappling with the very difficult questions that come before justices like Justice Stevens and the deeply contested constitutional issues that justices like Justice Stevens turn to that guiding star of the first principle of Marbury v. Madison, and get inspiration and strength from it.\"",
"It was separation of powers Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens chose to emphasize as a principal hallmark of Marbury.",
"During a panel discussion a few weeks ago, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens noted the wall between the courts and the executive can be breached.",
"As an example, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens cited public swear-ins of justices that have lately been held at White House.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens said it is far preferable they be conducted at the Supreme Court itself -- such as Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's 1975 ceremony -- to underscore the \"very separate status\" of the justices.",
"Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens later said the power Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's fellow benchmates enjoy today is embedded in that principle: .",
"\"Marbury v. Madison established that idea of separation, something no other branch of government -- no political majority -- can take away from the judiciary.\""

"(CNN) --",
"A total of seven cases of a previously undetected strain of swine flu have been confirmed in humans in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.",
"None of the patients has had direct contact with pigs.",
"swine flu is usually diagnosed only in pigs or people in regular contact with them.",
"Five of the cases have been found in California, and two have been found in Texas, near San Antonio, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, the CDC's Interim Deputy Director for Science and Public Health Program.",
"the CDC reported Tuesday that two children in the San Diego, California, area, infected with a virus called swine influenza A H1N1, whose combination of genes has not been seen in flu viruses in either human or pigs before.",
"The patients range from age 9 to 54, Schuchat said.",
"The patients include two 16-year-old boys who attend the same Texas school, and a father and daughter in California.",
"\"The good news is that all seven of The patients have recovered,\" Schuchat said.",
"The first two cases were picked up through a special influenza monitoring program, with stations in San Diego and El Paso, Texas.",
"The program aims to get a better sense of what strains exist and to detect new strains before they become widespread, the CDC said.",
"Other cases emerged through routine and expanded surveillance.",
"At this point, the ability for the human influenza vaccine to protect against this new swine flu strain is unknown, and studies are ongoing, she said.",
"There is no danger from contracting swine flu from eating pork products, Schuchat said.",
"swine flu has genes from North American swine and avian influenza, human influenza and swine influenza normally found in Asia and Europe, said Nancy Cox, chief of the CDC's Influenza Division.",
"swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza, according to the CDC.",
"It does not normally inflect humans, but cases have occurred among people, especially those who have had direct exposure to pigs.",
"There have also been cases in the past of one person spreading swine flu to other people, the CDC said.",
"In 1988, in an apparent swine flu infection in pigs in Wisconsin, there was antibody evidence of virus transmission from the patient to health care workers who had contact with the patient, the CDC said.",
"Person-to-person transmission is believed to occur in a manner similar to the spread of the influenza virus: through infected people coughing and sneezing, the CDC said.",
"People may contract swine flu by touching something with viruses on it and then touching People's mouth or nose.",
"From December 2005 to February 2009, 12 cases of human infection with swine flu were documented.",
"Symptoms of swine flu in humans are expected to resemble regular human seasonal influenza symptoms, including fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, and coughing, the CDC said.",
"Other reported symptoms include runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.",
"The new strain of swine flu has been resistant to the antiviral drugs amantadine and rimantadine, but has responded to the other licensed options: oseltamivir and zanamivir.",
"the CDC is working closely with health officials in California and Texas to learn more about the virus.",
"the CDC expects to find more cases, Schuchat said.",
"If swine flu can mutate to spread between humans, what does this mean for avian flu?",
"Because of the virus subtype, it is less likely that avian flu would become transmissible from person to person, but still possible, said Dr. William Short at the division of infectious diseases at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.",
"The news is not cause for widespread panic, but people at risk -- those who live in or have traveled to the areas where patients live, or have been in contact with pigs -- should watch out for symptoms and get tested if they occur, Dr. William Short at the division of infectious diseases at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania said.",
"The three criteria for a pandemic are a new virus to which everybody is susceptible, the ability to spread from person to person readily, and wide geographic spread, said Dr. Jay Steinberg, infectious disease specialist at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia.",
"swine flu only meets one of The three criteria for a pandemic: swine flu's novelty.",
"On the other hand, bird flu meets two of The three criteria for a pandemic: novelty and geographic spread.",
"If history is any indication, flu pandemics tend to occur once every 20 years or so, meaning we're actually due for one, Dr. Jay Steinberg, infectious disease specialist at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia said.",
"However, it is not likely to be the swine flu, Dr. Jay Steinberg, infectious disease specialist at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia said.",
"\"I can say with 100 percent confidence that a pandemic of a new flu strain will spread in humans,\" Dr. Jay Steinberg, infectious disease specialist at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia said.",

"Piracy off the coast of Somalia has more than doubled this year, threatening to make international trade more expensive and offering terrorists a new source of income, says a report released Wednesday.",
"A photo from the destroyer USS Howard shows Somali pirates in small boats hijacking the MV Faina last week.",
"As of late September, 60 ships had been attacked in 2008, said the report by Chatham House, a London-based institute that analyzes international issues.",
"a report released Wednesday comes amid a standoff between officials and pirates demanding a $20 million ransom for the release of a Ukrainian ship captured off the coast of Somalia last week.",
"Money from the $18 million to $30 million in ransoms paid this year is helping finance the war in Somalia, a report released Wednesday says.",
"One of the groups reportedly receiving ransom money is Al-Shabaab, which the United States listed as a terrorist organization this year.",
"Asked to rank the problem on a scale of one to 10, report author Roger Middleton said it's middle range but could quickly deteriorate.",
"\"At the moment, it's a five-six problem with the potential to be seven or eight,\" author Roger Middleton said.",
"\"You're looking at a nine, 10 if it starts to be co-opted by international terror organizations.\"",
"About 16,000 ships a year navigate the Gulf of Aden, which, as the southern gateway to the Suez Canal, is one of the most important trade routes in the world.",
"About 16,000 ships mostly transport oil from the Middle East and goods from Asia to Europe and North America.",
"Having to change routes would add weeks of travel time and increase fuel consumption, driving up the cost of shipping.",
"Insurance premiums for the Gulf of Aden have already increased tenfold, says a report released Wednesday, \"Piracy in Somalia: Threatening global trade, feeding local wars.\"",
"Additionally, pirates are hampering relief efforts in Somalia.",
"\"As a result of piracy,\" a report released Wednesday says, \"the World Food Programme has been forced to temporarily suspend food deliveries to drought-stricken Somalia.",
"Canada is now escorting WFP deliveries but there are no plans in place to replace their escort when it ends later this year.\"",
"Somalia's ambassador to Russia made the same point Wednesday.",
"\"This has been a great problem for the Somalian government,\" Somalia's ambassador to Russia said.",
"\"This hinders humanitarian aid a lot.",
"The Somalian people are not getting it.\"",
"author Roger Middleton noted that French officials are talking about offering a U.N. Security Council resolution to increase international presence in the area.",
"\"This new move by the European Union to put more ships into the Gulf of Aden could be quite positive,\" author Roger Middleton said.",
"\"Some form of U.N.-sponsored coast guard might start to chip away at this. ...",
"If America, Europe and Russia cooperate, it can be made much safer.\"",
"author Roger Middleton noted that France, Denmark, Netherlands and Canada offered escorts for World Food Programme ships that had been unable to enter Somali ports this year.",
"\"A more general approach has focused on Combined Task Force 150 (CTF 150), a coalition naval task force covering the Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Red Sea and the Indian Ocean,\" the report states.",
"\"CTF 150's primary responsibility is to assist in the 'war on terror,' so piracy is lower on CTF 150's's list of priorities.",
"However, some of the roughly 15 ships making up CTF150 have been involved in deterring pirate attacks.\"",
"In addition, the U.N. Security Council passed Resolution 1816 on June 2, giving foreign warships the right to enter Somali waters \"for the purposes of repressing acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea\" by \"all necessary means.\"",
"But none of these measures has stemmed the problem.",
"\"Piracy has been a problem in Somali waters for at least 10 years.",
"However, the number of attempted and successful attacks has risen over the last three years,\" Middleton's report says.",
"\"With little functioning government, long, isolated, sandy beaches and a population that is both desperate and used to war, Somalia is a perfect environment for piracy to thrive.\"",
"Somalia's ambassador to Russia stressed that the problem has gotten worse since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed 225,000 people in more than 10 nations, including Somalia.",
"the problem is compounded, Somalia's ambassador to Russia said, because Somalia does not have a coast guard.",
"\"Pirates are mostly young unemployed men, many of Pirates fishermen who lost Pirates's boats, tackle and Pirates's jobs following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami,\" Somalia's ambassador to Russia said.",
"\"Pirates started hunting on boats, and this process went our of control.",
"Pirates operate in groups of up to 12-15 people, however Pirates have associates ashore seeking information, negotiating about ransom, etc.\"",
"Somalia's ambassador to Russia said officials estimate that there 25 groups with no central command.",
"\"We believe their total number stands at about 1,000 people, counting those who help them on the ground,\" Somalia's ambassador to Russia said.",
"author Roger Middleton's report also notes that Somalia's fishing industry has collapsed in the past 15 years, particularly as European, Asian and African ships increase Asian and African ships's fishing in the area.",
"author Roger Middleton offers five possible solutions to the piracy plague, including organizing shipping into a safe lane, providing a coast guard for Somalia, having a large international naval presence and refusing to pay ransoms.",
"But author Roger Middleton noted that none of these solutions can be easily implemented.",
"\"It's not going to stop until Somalia has a stable government,\" author Roger Middleton said.",
"The CIA World Factbook notes that Somalia, a country about the size of Texas, does not have a permanent national government.",
"\"Although an interim government was created in 2004, other regional and local governing bodies continue to exist and control various regions of Somalia, including the self-declared Republic of Somaliland in northwestern Somalia and the semi-autonomous State of Puntland in northeastern Somalia,\" The CIA World Factbook says."

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- \"Hey, Hey It's Esther Blueburger\" is the latest comic creation to emerge from the Australian film market.",
"Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving and Terence Stamp star in the camp classic \"The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.\"",
"An unabashed celebration of girlishness, the coming-of-age movie tells the story of Esther, a bespectacled and awkward teen.",
"Looked down on as nerd at Muriel (played by Collette)'s posh private school, Esther (played by newcomer Danielle Catanzariti) reinvents Muriel (played by Collette) after befriending Sunni, an older girl who goes to the local public school.",
"Bearing a passing resemblance to the runaway U.S. indie hit \"Juno\", \"The Adventures of Priscilla\" could well go on to imitate some of the worldwide success of The Adventures of Priscilla's hipper American cousin.",
"If The Adventures of Priscilla is to do well, The Adventures of Priscilla's kitschness can surely only work to The Adventures of Priscilla's advantage.",
"After all, many of the Australian comedies that have found success with an international audience have relied on more than just a smattering of camp.",
"Oddly, from a country that brought the world \"Mad Max\" and Russell Crowe, many of the biggest comic hits fly in the face of the conventional stereotypes of Australian culture as straight-talking and macho.",
"For every \"Crocodile Dundee\", in other words, there is a \"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert\", riding triumphantly over the horizon ready to unsettle the manhood and steal the laughs into the bargain.",
"It was Paul Hogan's comic creation Mick \"Crocodile\" Dundee, the laidback survivalist from the outback that first put Australian comic films on the map over 20 years ago.",
"The first \"Crocodile Dundee\" film was released in 1986 to huge commercial success worldwide -- The first \"Crocodile Dundee\" film was the highest grossing film internationally that year -- spawned two sequels and was credited with boosting the Australian tourist industry.",
"A lot of the laughs in The first \"Crocodile Dundee\" film come from the depiction of Mick Dundee (played by Paul Hogan) as an unreconstructed, Aussie bloke struggling to come to terms with modern metropolitan life when he leaves small town Australia to visit New York.",
"In one scene, for example, Dundee's reaction to meeting a cross-dresser on the streets of the Big Apple is to grab the man's crotch to verify the man's gender.",
"Dundee's comic book version of Australian identity may have worked well in the movie theaters, but Crocodile Dundee's comic book version of Australian identity was viewed by many critics as hackneyed and out of touch with the reality of modern Australia.",
"The arrival of the writer and director Baz Luhrmann in the early '90s seemed to breath fresh life into Australian film.",
"The stunning critical and financial success of his debut feature, \"Strictly Ballroom\" in 1992 heralded a string of breakout hits that weren't afraid to show their feminine side.",
"The story of a young ballroom dancer who flouts convention and risks the ire of the judges by dancing his own moves, \"Strictly Ballroom\" provoked a bidding war at the Cannes Film Festival after it won the Prix de Jeunesse award.",
"Alongside a realistic portrayal of Australian small town life, there is a warm-hearted send up of the peculiar world of ballroom dancing.",
"From the sequined costumes to the Cyndi Lauper soundtrack, the movie is also saturated in campness and kitsch.",
"The benchmark set by Luhrmann, whose 2001 stellar musical feature \"Moulin Rouge!\" was also defiantly camp, was matched by \"The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert\" in 1994 and by \"Muriel's Wedding\" to a lesser extent the same year.",
"\"Priscilla\" in particular created a huge stir when it was first released.",
"Starring the venerable British actor Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving, it is the story of three drag queens driving across the outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a large bus they have named Priscilla.",
"It has gone on to be regarded as a camp classic -- though perhaps not in South Korea, where it was reportedly banned for fear it might encourage homosexuality.",
"Less overtly camp than \"Priscilla",
"\", \"Muriel's Wedding\" celebrates the lighter side of femininity.",
"The story of a socially awkward 'ugly duckling' whose daydreams of a glamorous white wedding are soundtracked by Abba music, the film was a surprise hit globally and launched the Hollywood career of Toni Collette -- who has a role in \"Esther Blueburger\".",
"Muriel (played by Collette) tramps around in leopard skin inviting bitchy comments from Muriel (played by Collette)'s crass friends until Muriel (played by Collette) eventually plucks up the courage to head to the city.",
"Like \"Strictly Ballroom\", it exposes the mean-spiritedness that can blight small town life -- in this case the small town in question is the kitschy fictional coastal setting of Porpoise Spit.",
"As well as their camp credentials, one thing these films share in common is a reluctance to slip into stereotyped depictions of Australians.",
"Questions of national identity are explored with more subtlety through a range of characters, and the image of the Aussie bloke immortalised in the character of Mick Dundee is made to look a dated simplification.",
"Still, this onslaught of camp sometimes proves too much, even for some of the films' characters.",
"As Bernadette (played by Stamp) tells her fellow drag queens at one point in \"Priscilla\": \"I'll join this conversation on the proviso that we stop bitching about people, talking about wigs, dresses, bust sizes, penises, drugs, night clubs, and bloody Abba!\" To which Weaving's character Tick snaps back: \"Doesn't give us much to talk about then, does it?\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Editor's note: Watch \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino talking about the making of \"Pulp Fiction\" on The Screening Room podcast.",
"To receive regular movie podcasts subscribe here.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's first trip to Sundance wasn't exactly a success.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's hyper-violent, super cool debut feature \"Reservoir Dogs\" scorched audiences and critics alike when it came out in 1992.",
"\"If you do this in real life, they're going to fire your ass,\" scolded cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt, veteran of films like \"Lethal Weapon\" and \"Charlie Wilson's War.\"",
"The novice filmmaker was participating in a directors' workshop at the Sundance Institute -- the film trust founded by Robert Redford which also runs the Sundance Film Festival.",
"Unfortunately, \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's mentors were just not feeling \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's experimental approach.",
"The following week, a new group of mentors arrived, including ex-Monty Python member and filmmaker Terry Gilliam.",
"Tarantino and \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's editor steeled Tarantino and his editor for the inevitable disapproval: \"Then Terry Gilliam comes in and goes 'Oh, your scene.",
"Just great!'\" recalls \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino is talking at the Cannes Film Festival Cinema Masterclass, following in the illustrious footsteps of directors like Wong Kar Wai, Sydney Pollack and Martin Scorsese.",
"\"It was just like, you know what, that's gonna be my career.",
"People are gonna either really like me or People're really not and just get f***ing used to it 'cause this is the deal,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino says.",
"A second visit to Sundance in 1992 proved more fruitful.",
"Tarantino's debut feature, \"Reservoir Dogs,\" a sassy, hyper-violent gangster movie, was the hit of the year.",
"French film critic and regular on the European film festival circuit, Michel Ciment still remembers the effect Tarantino had on Michel Ciment when Tarantino showed at Cannes later that year: \"It was a big shock.",
"I remember it was the most striking new American film since 'Mean Streets' 30 years before.\"",
"Despite the impact of Tarantino's droll, assured debut, \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino recalls being convinced \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino was going to get fired in the first two weeks of production.",
"\"I just thought it was too good to be true.",
"I couldn't help but think something like 'they don't let people like me make movies,'\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino says, laughing.",
"Follow-up movie \"Pulp Fiction\" was awarded the coveted Palm D'Or at Cannes two years later, cementing \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's reputation as a movie-maker to be reckoned with.",
"It was filled with the dark humor and bloody violence that would become known as \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino trademarks.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino admits to getting a kick out of creating humor in inappropriate situations.",
"\"I'm trying to get you to laugh at things you've never laughed at before,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino explains.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino cites \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's \"bigtime\" influences as movie brats like Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma, as well as Sergio Leone and Howard Hawks.",
"In person, \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino is a great raconteur and \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's expletive-littered speech is not a million miles away from the dialogue that's so central to \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's movies.",
"\"I tend to think of \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino as more of a novelist who makes movies than a director per se,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino declares.",
"But \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino dismisses \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's apparent love of language as a product of writing for acting classes: \"I started writing as an actor and it was all about dialogue and writing scenes to do.\"",
"Before moving into directing, \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino studied acting for six years and says learning to act for the camera gave \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino an insight into how directors put a movie together -- frame by frame.",
"That was what really taught \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino how to write for the movies.",
"\"All of a sudden I started seeing [film] in a whole different way.",
"When you start doing that, then it's only a few short steps until you start composing shots of your own,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino explains.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino has shown \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino to be one of the most music-savvy directors of this generation with \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's use of songs like \"Little Green Bag\" by the George Baker Selection in the opening sequence of \"Reservoir Dogs\" and Nancy Sinatra's \"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)\" in \"Kill Bill Vol. 1.\"",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino, not immodestly, puts that skill down to \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's great music collection.",
"\"The thing is, I have one of the best soundtrack collections in America,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino boasts.",
"That probably accounts for \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's scathing determination never to use film composers: \"I don't trust any composers to do it.",
"I would just never give anybody that kind of responsibility,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino says, \"Who the f*** is this guy coming in here, throwing their s*** all over my movie?\"",
"And \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino admits that \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's inner film buff enjoys the cornerstones of action cinema that some of \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's later movies have explored.",
"\"I love action scenes, but they are hard, and in a way that's what's fun about them.",
"These cool little puzzles.",
"To \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino, action scenes are some of the most cinematic moments that you can do in film,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino says.",
"\"Kill Bill Vol. One\" and \"Kill Bill Vol. Two,\" starring \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino muse and Hollywood A-lister Uma Thurman, are \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's movie-geek nod to the kung fu genre.",
"When \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino started filming \"Vol. One,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino hadn't made a film for six years and with typical chutzpah challenged \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino to choreograph astonishingly intricate fight scenes.",
"\"If I throw my hat in the ring with the greatest action directors who ever lived ... I wanna be as good as the greatest action directors who ever lived,\" \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino asserts.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino continues to work \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's way through \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's action movie checklist.",
"In \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, \"Death Proof,\" a homage to sleazy 70s B-movies that stars Kurt Russell as a murderous stuntman, \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino puts \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's own spin on another of action film's fundamentals -- the car chase.",
"\"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino is critical of CGI being used so much in film today.",
"All the seat-grippingly tense stunts in \"Death Proof\" are real and \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino specifically cast a stuntwoman, Zoe Bell, in one of the leading roles to achieve this.",
"It may have been ambitious, but \"Death Proof,\" which is one half of \"Grindhouse,\" a B-movie-referencing double bill he made with fellow director Robert Rodriguez, got a critical mauling and didn't fare much better at the box office.",
"But then \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino has long been resigned to people either loving or hating \"Kill Bill\" director Quentin Tarantino's movies."

"The Pulitzer Prize winners for 2009 were announced Monday, with The New York Times capturing five of the awards.",
"Writer Jon Meacham won a Pulitzer Prize in biography for \"American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.\"",
"The New York Times garnered wins in the categories of breaking news reporting, investigative reporting, international reporting, criticism and feature photography.",
"In the international reporting category, The New York Times won for The New York Times's reporting on the battles in Afghanistan and Pakistan.",
"In the arts, \"Olive Kitteridge\" by Elizabeth Strout won for fiction, \"Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II\" by Douglas A. Blackmon won in the general nonfiction category, and \"American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House\" by Writer Jon Meacham won for the category of biography.",
"Among the winners in journalism categories were the Las Vegas (Nevada) Sun for public service, the San Diego (California) Union-Tribune's Steve Breen for editorial cartooning and columnist Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post for commentary.",
"For the first time, all 14 Pulitzer journalism categories were open for competition from news organizations that publish only on the Internet.",
"Entirely online entries were previously permitted in only two categories: breaking news coverage and breaking news photography .",
"Since 2006, online content from newspaper Web sites had been permitted in all Pulitzer journalism categories, but online-only newspapers were not allowed to submit entries.",
"Despite the opportunity, there were no winners from online only news sites.",
"Web sites for print magazines and broadcast outlets are not eligible to enter, said Sig Gissler, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes.",
"Amy Mitchell, deputy director for the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, said that allowing online-only publications to apply for the prestigious award is recognition of the growing importance of online media.",
"\"Much of [media] comes from traditional press, but a lot is coming from non-traditional press as well, and that needs to be recognized along with what's being produced in traditional media,\" Mitchell said.",
"\"We've clearly hit a point now where we've seen the audience migration to the Web accelerate.\"",
"Mitchell said a survey of online journalists conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism found some concerns about the possibility of online reporting changing the fundamental values of journalism.",
"Those surveyed cited issues like a focus on speed and loss of accuracy as possible issues that could arise with journalism on the Web.",
"But with some concerns about the possibility of online reporting changing the fundamental values of journalism, Mitchell said, comes the opportunity to tell stories in a multidimensional way.",
"\"We see some tremendous reporting that could not exist in former modes of communication,\" Mitchell said, observing that media platforms such as text, photo galleries and video can not only be connected but be used to connect journalists to Internet users and Internet users to each other.",
"\"Those are tremendous changes,\" Mitchell said.",
"Robert M. Steele, the Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw University in Indiana, said the core values of accuracy and fairness have to be honored, no matter the method of reporting.",
"Still, Robert M. Steele, the Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw University in Indiana said, further opening the Pulitzer Prizes to online publications \"gives further weight to the role that digital journalism plays in this era.\"",
"\"In some ways, it's increased legitimacy for new forms of delivering journalism,\" Robert M. Steele, the Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw University in Indiana said.",
"\"It also heightens the discussion about the distinction between basic information and substantive journalism.",
"Just because somebody throws something online doesn't mean something is journalism.\"",
"David Plotz, editor of Slate, said Plotz's site did not apply for the Pulitzers despite what Plotz believes was Plotz's publication's exceptional political, technology and business coverage.",
"\"Slate are not a hard-news site, and Slate don't do the kinds of stories and projects that have traditionally been awarded,\" Plotz said.",
"Plotz said the recognition for online journalism is more than warranted.",
"\"It's an overdue acknowledgement that some of the best journalism in the world and in America is being created not for print publication but for places that live entirely on the Web,\" Plotz said.",
"\"There's so much of it that doesn't ever get into a print publication and yet is as important to shaping the debate and to changing how people think about things as to anything you might read in one of our great newspapers or magazines.\"",
"Pulitzer Prizes for journalism were also awarded to the following: Bettina Boxall and Julie Cart of the Los Angeles (California) Times for explanatory reporting; the Detroit (Michigan) Free Press Staff, and notably Jim Schaefer and M.L. Elrick and Ryan Gabrielson and Paul Giblin of the East Valley (Arizona) Tribune for local reporting; and the staff of the St. Petersburg (Florida) Times for national reporting.",
"Also receiving awards were Lane DeGregory of the St. Petersburg Times for feature writing; Mark Mahoney of The Glens Falls (New York) Post-Star for editorial writing; and Patrick Farrell of The Miami (Florida) Herald for breaking news photography.",
"In the arts, \"Ruined\" by Lynn Nottage won for drama; \"The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family\" by Annette Gordon-Reed won for history; \"The Shadow of Sirius\" by W.S. Merwin won the poetry category; \"Double Sextet\" by Steve Reich won for music."

"Editor's note: Dan Buettner is the best-selling author of \"The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the Longest.\" Watch Buettner's reports from Greece all week on \"AC360°\"",
"Greek-American Yiannis Karimalis, 73, lives in Ikaria nearly 40 years after a diagnosis of stomach cancer.",
"Ikaria, Greece (CNN)",
"In 1970, when doctors diagnosed Yiannis Karimalis with stomach cancer and only gave Yiannis Karimalis a few months to live, Yiannis Karimalis decided to move back to Ikaria, Yiannis Karimalis's birth island.",
"There, Yiannis Karimalis reasoned, Yiannis Karimalis could be buried more inexpensively among Yiannis Karimalis's fellow Greeks.",
"But when Yiannis Karimalis moved back to the island Yiannis Karimalis didn't die.",
"Yiannis Karimalis has lived nearly 40 years more.",
"And when Yiannis Karimalis returned to America on a recent visit, Yiannis Karimalis discovered that Yiannis Karimalis's doctors were all dead.",
"The people on this 99-square-mile Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea smugly tell this story as yet another example of what The people on this 99-square-mile Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea've always known and scientists are now discovering: People in Ikaria live longer than in just about any other place in the world.",
"A recent study of 90-year-old siblings, conducted by the National Hellenic Research Foundation, discovered 10 times more 90-year-old brothers and sisters here than the European average.",
"Why is this important?",
"Most scientists agree that the average human should live to age 90.",
"(You have to have won the genetic lottery to live to 100.)",
"But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says life expectancy in America is 78.",
"Somewhere along the line, we're losing about a dozen years -- most of a dozen to costly and potentially preventable chronic diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes and cancer.",
"costly and potentially preventable chronic diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes and cancer are dragging down our health care system and account for much of the reason why the National Institute on Aging says the average American suffers about three disabled end-of-life years during which they incur 90 percent of our lifelong health care costs.",
"Ikarians are avoiding costly and potentially preventable chronic diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes and cancer and reaching age 90 at a rate of about four times the rate that Americans do.",
"They are getting the good years we're missing, dying quickly and less expensively.",
"For the next two weeks, I'm leading \"The Blue Zones\" expedition, an AARP and National Geographic sponsored team of the world's best demographers, physicians, medical researchers and media specialists, to explore Ikarian longevity.",
"We already have a few clues.",
"Since at least the sixth century B.C., Icaria was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as a health destination -- largely for Icaria's hot springs believed to relieve pain, joint problems and skin ailments.",
"Our team has reviewed reports of high levels of radon in these baths and will be exploring a theory that chronic exposure to low-level radiation may help protect DNA against the ravages of aging.",
"For much of the ensuing two millenniums, people here lived in relative isolation.",
"The people here evolved a unique diet that we believe is a more heart-protective version of the Mediterranean diet.",
"We're doing pharmacological analyses of dozens of herbal teas and unique honey produced by bees that draw pollen of thyme, fir and erica.",
"We think we'll find anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and probiotic properties in these locally produced products.",
"We also know that people here have a vastly different character than the rest of the Mediterranean.",
"people here have volcanic tempers that quickly subside.",
"Despite living on harsh, steep terrain, people here're known for relentless optimism and three-day parties.",
"people here don't get stressed by deadlines.",
"people here go to bed well after midnight, sleep late and take naps.",
"Anecdotally, we know that most people over 90 are sexually active.",
"Do most people over 90 possess the true secret to longevity?",
"We're not sure yet, but we'll certainly distill a few clues about living longer, better.",
"Ikarian wisdom may not help you live to 100.",
"But at least they may help you outlive your doctor.",
"Follow and vote to direct Dan's expedition at aarp.org/bluezones .",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Dan Buettner."

"(CNN) --",
"A federal immigration board rejected an emergency appeal Friday for a stay of deportation filed by the lawyer for Nazi war crimes suspect John Demjanjuk.",
"Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk, shown at Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's 1993 Israel acquittal, is sought by Germany for alleged killings at a Nazi camp.",
"The decision by the Department of Justice's Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church, Virginia, clears the way for Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's deportation to Germany, where Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk is being sought for Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's alleged involvement during World War II in killings at Sobibor, a Nazi death camp in Poland.",
"The deportation of Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk would close a chapter in one of the longest-running pursuits of an alleged Holocaust perpetrator in history, while also paving the way for an extraordinary German war crimes trial.",
"Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement are now free to pick up Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk at any point and take Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk into custody for transport to Germany, a board official said.",
"The appeals board rejected Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's emergency stay request because it concluded \"there is little likelihood of success that Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's pending motion to re-open the case will be granted,\" according to board officials.",
"The pending motion argues that a deportation of Demjanjuk, 89, to Germany would constitute torture.",
"\"In the four years since Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's deportation was [initially] ordered, Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's health has seriously deteriorated,\" Demjanjuk's attorney, John Broadley, told CNN in a recent telephone interview.",
"Broadley said Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk suffers from pre-leukemia, kidney problems, spinal problems and \"a couple of types of gout.\"",
"The appeals board, however, has already signaled that argument will be rejected.",
"Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk may make an additional expedited appeal for an emergency stay to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, though Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's chances of getting The appeals board's ruling overturned are believed to be slim, according to Justice Department officials.",
"Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center found irony in Broadley's argument for Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's client.",
"\"Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk wants to plead the sense of fairness that Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk regularly denied all of the victims at Sobibor,\" Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said.",
"Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center called Demjanjuk's comparison of Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's planned deportation to torture \"preposterous coming from a person that served the [Nazi organization] S.S. in a death camp.",
"It is a preposterous argument and insulting to the survivors of the Holocaust.\"",
"Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said that 250,000 Jews were killed at the camp, and that none of the guards who worked there was blameless.",
"\"You were there for one job: kill the Jews,\" Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said.",
"\"And that's what they did full-time.\"",
"Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center called the evidence against Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk \"overwhelming.\"",
"German authorities issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk on March 10, accusing him of being an accessory to 29,000 counts of murder as a guard at the death camp from March to September 1943.",
"German authorities studied an identification card provided by the U.S. Office of Special Investigations, and concluded it was genuine, before issuing the warrant.",
"Demjanjuk, a retired autoworker living in Cleveland, Ohio, has been fighting charges of Nazi war crimes for more than two decades.",
"Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk was previously extradited from the United States to Israel, where Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk was convicted in 1986 of being \"Ivan the Terrible,\" a guard at the notorious Treblinka extermination camp.",
"The conviction was overturned by Israeli courts on appeal, and Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk returned to the United States.",
"the United States filed new charges against Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk in 1999, again alleging that Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk had been a concentration camp guard.",
"Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk was stripped of U.S. citizenship and has been awaiting deportation since 2005, despite fighting Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk's case all the way to the Supreme Court.",
"Demjanjuk, a Ukrainian, says Ukrainian-born John Demjanjuk fought in the Soviet army and later was a prisoner of war held by the Germans.",
"CNN's Terry Frieden contributed to this report."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Police officers responsible for protecting the British royal family handled firearms when drunk, traded pornography and steroids and sat on Queen Elizabeth II's throne in comical poses, it has been alleged in a LONDON court.",
"Page was responsible for security at Buckingham Palace.",
"The allegations were made Tuesday by John Cooper, the lawyer for former royal protection officer Paul Page, who is accused of defrauding colleagues and friends to fund a life of luxury, The British Press Association reported.",
"According to PA, the claims were made during a lengthy cross-examination of Adam McGregor, a colleague of Page who left service at LONDON's Buckingham Palace in 2005, who has accused Page of \"conning\" McGregor out of thousands of dollars.",
"At one point Cooper \"suggested\" there had been a procedure among armed officers at the palace whereby one officer on duty would sleep while the others kept watch for the others's superior.",
"McGregor denied any knowledge of this and all other allegations of wrongdoing among McGregor's colleagues at the iconic Royal residence.",
"However, when pressed further McGregor did admit to sitting on one of the thrones, but did not recall doing any \"comical poses.\"",
"The court also heard that officers protecting the royals lost more than £250,000 ($365,800) to a spread betting venture called \"The Currency Club,\" one of a number of apparently successful sidelines Page allegedly set up to clear spiraling debts, PA said.",
"According to the BBC, Page extracted around £3 million ($4.4 million) from some 57 lenders or investors.",
"Cooper suggested that McGregor had been \"one of those police officers\" using mobile patrols to deliver cash to other police officers based in Royal Protection who were involved in financial matters.",
"The accusation was again denied by McGregor.",
"McGregor instead claimed McGregor had been \"totally sucked in\" by Page.",
"\"I was totally sucked in by Page Page is a very charismatic person,\" McGregor said, before adding that McGregor had acted \"very naively and very stupidly\" in some of McGregor's dealings with McGregor's former colleague.",
"The prosecution claimed much of the money was promptly laundered by Page's wife before being gambled away, as Page hid Page's dishonesty behind a \" veneer of credibility\" fueled by a fleet of expensive cars and claims Page was a highly \"adept\" property developer and market speculator, PA said.",

"(Entertainment Weekly) --",
"Spike Lee's last film, the gratifyingly tense and tricky \"Inside Man,\" was celebrated -- rightly -- for the way that Spike Lee finally jumped, feet first, into the studio-genre-movie game.",
"Spike Lee poses for a shot during the filming of \"Miracle at St. Anna\" in Rome, Italy.",
"Spike Lee cooked up a gourmet-popcorn heist thriller and stamped every moment with Spike Lee's personality.",
"Spike Lee, until now, has never made a movie -- good or bad -- that wasn't unmistakably Spike Lee's.",
"Spike Lee's latest, \"Miracle at St. Anna,\" is the first Hollywood feature to tell the story of the African-American soldiers who fought in the U.S. armed forces during World War II , and as such the film's a movie with a monumental mission.",
"Unfortunately, that's more or less the only monumental thing about the film.",
"\"Miracle\" isn't powerful, it's muddled and diffuse, and the disappointment of the film begins with what a hard time I had finding Spike Lee in the film.",
"Based on a 2002 novel by James McBride, who also wrote the screenplay, the movie has a drifting, scattershot structure and no real organizing tone or style (if you wondered what Spike Lee's frozen-figure-on-receding-background shots might look like in a wartime setting, then keep wondering).",
"The bizarrely contrived framing device is set in the 1980s, when a postal worker named Hector Negron (Laz Alonso) mutters in anger at an old John Wayne war flick on TV, then shoots and kills a man who shows up to buy stamps.",
"(Hector surely has Hector's reasons, but does Hector really get away with stashing a loaded Luger under Hector's post-office window each day?)",
"Watch Spike Lee talk about the film » .",
"After Hector's arrest, Hector won't talk, but a reporter finds a clue in the form of a priceless artifact hidden in his apartment: the head of a statue that once adorned a bridge in Florence that was wrecked by bombs during World War II.",
"From this labored and gimmicky setup, the film flashes back to the itch and fear of battle, as Hector, along with other members of the all-black 92nd Infantry Division and the all-black 92nd Infantry Division's ''Buffalo Soldiers,'' stalks the Tuscan countryside.",
"It's September 1944, and as the men try to cross the Serchio River, the men are ambushed.",
"The sequence has thunderous explosions, jittery editing, blown-up bodies -- everything but the virtuosity of staging that might have made the chaos and carnage revelatory instead of just a Saving Private Ryan rehash.",
"Four members of the all-black 92nd Infantry Division end up stranded behind enemy lines, all but abandoned by a racist commander.",
"In addition to Negron, there's Staff Sgt. Aubrey Stamps (Derek Luke), a college-educated stoic devoted to his service; Sgt. Bishop Cummings (Michael Ealy), furious at the world and a loose cannon, with no loyalty to the country he's fighting for; and Pvt. Sam Train (Omar Benson Miller), a starry-eyed oversize simpleton who rescues, and befriends, an Italian urchin (Matteo Sciabordi).",
"The dramatic focal point, if you can call it that, is the war of wills between Stamps and Cummings.",
"These two play out a version of the assimilate-versus-agitate debate that has echoed through many decades of African- American life, though this one would be more convincing if Ealy, a dynamic actor, had been asked to project his anger more in period, with a little less proto-gangsta recklessness.",
"The men arrive at a picturesque village, where The men mingle with the locals and Stamps and Cummings stoke their rivalry over Renata (Valentina Cervi), a married woman who is lovely in a saintly way.",
"the film then veers into an endless, murky subplot about the Italian resistance from which the film never recovers.",
"\"Miracle at St. Anna\" wants to do too many things at once to do any of too many things with much verve.",
"the film aspires to be a war epic, but the film's dominated less by combat than by flat, meandering talk.",
"the film wants to salute the flesh-and-blood valor of the Buffalo Soldiers, but the Buffalo Soldiers are treated as such impersonally symbolic and stiff-jointed types that the Buffalo Soldiers's heroism shines only faintly.",
"The movie tries to be raw and real, yet it isn't above trotting out a tyke who might have stepped out of Cinema Paradiso II to tag along with the Buffalo Soldiers as a mascot of sentiment.",
"There are vile Nazis on hand -- and also a nice Nazi who does a really good deed.",
"\"Miracle at St. Anna\" winds up as a pastiche of racial-historical correction, showboat atrocity, murder mystery, love story, and windy meditation.",
"Is it any wonder that the film's less than the sum of the film's ambitious parts?",
"As odd as it may sound to say about a war film, though, the real trouble with \"Miracle\" is that Lee's filmmaking is joyless.",

"The mysterious deaths of 21 prized polo horses Sunday at a club in Florida provides a peek inside the private world of a sport that generally is off limits to all but the very wealthy.",
"The Lechuza Caracas polo team may not recover from the loss of 21 ponies for years, a polo executive says.",
"The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville and the state-run Kissimmee Diagnostic Laboratories near Orlando are conducting necropsies on the animals.",
"Initial tests failed to reveal a cause, said Liz Compton, a representative of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.",
"Tissues, organ samples and blood are now being screened for toxic agents, Liz Compton, a representative of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said.",
"Scientists have ruled out any contagious disease because the animals died so quickly, said state the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services spokesman Mark Fagan.",
"Authorities initially requested necropsies for only the eight horses that were insured, according to Sarah Carey, a representative of the veterinary school, which got the bodies of 15 horses.",
"Later, the order was expanded to all 15 horses, she said.",
"The U.S. Polo Association is among the parties cooperating in the investigation.",
"\"In the meantime, we all mourn the loss of these horses,\" The U.S. Polo Association Executive Director Peter Rizzo said in a news release.",
"\"There are no words to describe the grief and sadness shared by everyone -- particularly the devastated owners of those magnificent horses.\"",
"Watch what investigators are studying » .",
"Players form strong emotional bonds with the horses Players ride, said John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill.",
"\"I've heard a couple of polo players who were affected with this loss the other day, a couple of polo players who were affected with this loss I don't think have left their house since Sunday night,\" John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"There were a lot of tears there -- these big, tough guys just on their hands and knees, crying over what happened.\"",
"The U.S. Open Polo Championship that was interrupted by the tragedy will resume Wednesday with semifinal matches, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"Lechuza Caracas, the team whose horses died, was offered spare mounts from other competitors so they could remain in the competition, but the devastated team chose to withdraw, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"The Wellington tournament is one of the sport's three major championships, on a par with the U.S. Open in tennis or golf.",
"Authorities say Authorities believe that the competition facility is safe for the other horses and that whatever killed the 21 horses entered their bodies away from the site.",
"Fifteen of the animals fell ill shortly before they were to compete Sunday; some died immediately and others lingered for almost an hour.",
"Six others died overnight Sunday to Monday as Six others were kept in the same trailer in Wellington.",
"Animals are not kept overnight at the site, so no special precautions are in place regarding food, water or bedding, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",

"\"The scene can be described as almost like an airplane crash that involved not human life, but horses,\" John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"It was horrific.\"",
"Polo ponies in the United States are not drug-tested, but the U.S. Polo Association has been considering taking up the practice for several years, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"People are calling for reform, and maybe that needs to happen, but until toxicology reports come back, and autopsy reports, we don't even know if [Sunday's incident is] anything related to that.\"",
"The Humane Society of the United States has no record of abuse of polo ponies, but that may be a function of the sport's exclusive nature, society spokeswoman Holly Hazard said.",
"\"We are learning about this, as is everyone else,\" society spokeswoman Holly Hazard said.",
"\"It may be that perhaps because it's not televised or not as popular as other sports, it's not something that either our constituents or our program is particularly focused on.",
"\"But if there are either performance-enhancing drugs or some problem that is associated with this, we will investigate and we will offer a reward to bring whoever is responsible to justice.\"",
"Keith Dane, director of the Humane Society's equine protection program, was en route to Florida on Tuesday to interview people involved in Sunday's incident and keep an eye on the investigation, society spokeswoman Holly Hazard said.",
"No evidence has been brought forth suggesting someone deliberately poisoned the animals.",
"\"I guess everything's possible,\" John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"I've heard all different rumors.",
"I don't know if I even want to go there and think about that.\"",
"Compton, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services representative, said authorities have seen no evidence of criminal activity in the case.",
"\"Clearly, law enforcement has gotten involved, given the complexity and the scope of the deaths, and law enforcement are fact-finding and gathering information, and once we have a specific cause of death, then law enforcement can determine where law enforcement's investigation will go,\" she said.",
"The devastated team, Lechuza Caracas, is one of the top teams in the world.",
"The loss could set it back for years, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"It's just like baseball or basketball or football,\" John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"You're taking years of grooming, training, nurturing to create, really, a first string of horses.",
"And for four polo players, it takes anywhere from six to eight horses per polo player to play a game of polo.",
"So if you're taking the animals,",
"the animals're probably 21 of your first-string horses ... and you've just lost every one of your best players.",
"\"It's not like you could just go out and buy 21 new horses and start at that point.\"",
"Polo ponies are thoroughbreds, many of Polo ponies former racehorses retrained for the game, but Polo ponies cover a wide range of ages, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"When Polo ponies get too old to play, Polo ponies are retired to pasture or stud, John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",
"\"A polo horse is treated quite well,\" John Wash, operations president of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, where the horses fell ill said.",

"MARATHON, Florida (CNN)",
"-- Juan Lopez reads meters with one eye and looks for snakes with the other.",
"Juan Lopez is a member of the \"Python Patrol,\" a team of utility workers, wildlife officials, park rangers and police trying to keep Burmese pythons from gaining a foothold in the Florida Keys.",
"Members of the Python Patrol show off a giant snake that stretched more than 20 feet.",
"Officials say the pythons -- which can grow to 20 feet long and eat large animals whole -- are being ditched by pet owners in the Everglades, threatening the Everglades's endangered species and the Everglades's ecosystem.",
"\"Right now, we have our fingers crossed that the snakes haven't come this far yet, but if the snakes do, we are prepared,\" Juan Lopez said.",
"Burmese Pythons are rarely seen in the middle Florida Keys, where Juan Lopez works.",
"The Nature Conservancy wants to keep it that way.",
"Watch huge python wrap around a CNN reporter » .",
"The Python Patrol program was started by Alison Higgins, The Nature Conservancy's Florida Keys conservation manager.",
"Alison Higgins, the Nature Conservancy's Florida Keys conservation manager describes The Python Patrol program as an \"early detection, rapid response\" program made up of professionals who work outside.",
"Eight Burmese pythons have been found in Florida.",
"\"If The Nature Conservancy can keep Eight Burmese pythons from spreading and breeding, then The Nature Conservancy're that much more ahead of the problem,\" Alison Higgins, the Nature Conservancy's Florida Keys conservation manager said.",
"Utility workers, wildlife officials and police officers recently attended a three-hour class about capturing the enormously large snakes.",
"Lt. Jeffrey L. Fobb of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Venom Response Unit taught the participants how to capture pythons.",
"\"There's no immutable laws of snake catching.",
"It's what works,\" Fobb said as Fobb demonstrated catching a snake with hooks, bags, blankets and Fobb's hands.",
"\"We're doing it in Florida because we have a lot to protect,\" Alison Higgins, the Nature Conservancy's Florida Keys conservation manager said.",
"\"The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades are eating a lot of our endangered species and other creatures, and we want to make sure The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades don't breed here.\"",
"Where The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades are breeding is just north of the Keys in Everglades National Park.",
"An estimated 30,000 Burmese pythons live in Everglades National Park.",
"The Everglades, known as the \"River of Grass,\" is a vast area with a climate perfect for the snakes to hide and breed.",
"And breed the snakes do: The largest clutches of eggs found in the Everglades have numbered up to 83.",
"The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades grow like The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades're on steroids.",
"With a life span of 30 years, the snakes can weigh as much as 200 pounds.",
"And the larger the snake, the bigger the prey.",
"Biologists have found endangered wood rats, birds, bobcats and other animals in their stomachs.",
"Two 5-foot-long alligators were found in the stomachs of Burmese pythons that were caught and necropsied, officials say.",
"Officials also say the snakes can travel 1.6 miles a day by land, and the snakes can swim to reach areas outside the Everglades.",
"This nonvenomous species was brought into the United States from Southeast Asia.",
"Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar says biologists believe that well-intended pet owners are to blame for their introduction into the Everglades.",
"\"the snakes were released by owners that do not understand the threat to the ecosystem,\" Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar said.",
"Higgins says 99,000 of the snakes were brought into the United States from 1996 to 2006, the most recent data available.",
"Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar says the snakes are an easy species to breed, and you can buy a hatchling for as little as $20.",
"The problem with these pets, Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar says, is that the snakes get too big for the snakes's owners to handle.",
"Making the owner aware of what to expect when the animal becomes full-grown is a priority.",
"\"The pet trade is pretty supportive in educating people,\" Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar said.",
"Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar hopes a \"Don't let it loose\" message campaign makes an impact on pet owners.",
"Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, a supporter of restoring the Everglades, has introduced a bill that would ban importing the python species into the United States.",
"The senator saw the need after learning about the effect these snakes were having on the park.",
"\"Finding out many endangered species are being found in the stomach of the python,\" Nelson spokeswoman Susie Quinn said, \"we need to do a better job at protecting the resources.\"",
"In the meantime, Juan Lopez and the Python Patrol will continue to protect the Florida Keys by capturing the snakes and turning the snakes over to biologists to perform necropsies.",
"The Nature Conservancy plans to expand the program to all the areas that surround the Everglades, making the snakes their prey.",
"\"I would like to find the snakes and get rid of the snakes,\" Juan Lopez said."

"\"It's zany in the most wonderful way,\" says Diana Krall.",
"\"You have two little boys leaping off the furniture who think they're Buzz Lightyear while we're practicing and playing.",
"It's just a happy house.\"",
"Diana Krall's domestic bliss -- \"domestic\" being a new concept for the ever-touring artist -- is suggested in the warm, intimate vibe of Diana Krall's latest album \"Quiet Nights.\"",

"UNITED NATIONS (CNN) --",
"More than one million people in Darfur are at risk of losing food, water and shelter in coming months, following the expulsion of international aid groups by Sudan, the United Nations' chief humanitarian coordinator said Tuesday.",
"A Doctors without Borders medic helps a sick child in a Darfur refugee camp.",
"The statement by coordinator John Holmes comes after a joint U.N.-Sudanese assessment of the situation.",
"The information was gathered from March 11-18 in hopes of stemming further troubles in Darfur after Sudan expelled 13 international relief organizations from the wartorn region.",
"The announcement came on the same day that President Omar al-Bashir, now an indicted war criminal, ignored the threat of arrest by traveling abroad to Eritrea.",
"Also Tuesday, a Sudanese staffer working for a Canadian relief group was shot dead in Darfur.",
"A full report of the assessment will be released soon, according to the U.N., but an executive summary and recommendations were made available on Tuesday.",
"\"While a significant effort is being made by Sudan, by the U.N., by the NGOs [nongovernmental organizations] which are left, to plug some of the immediate gaps in these areas, these are at the same time, 'Band-Aid' solutions, not long term solutions,\" Holmes said.",
"the U.N. estimates that 1.5 million people in Darfur are dependent on healthcare support, 1.1 million need regular food aid, and another 1 million are in need of clean drinking water.",
"The summary released Tuesday said the World Food Programme, which is still allowed to operate in Sudan, is carrying out a one-time-only distribution program in March and April, but that new partners will be needed to continue delivering food after April.",
"After the International Criminal Court charged Bashir with war crimes and crimes against humanity on March 4, Khartoum expelled 13 international aid agencies and revoked the permits of three organizations in Sudan.",
"Bashir -- the first sitting head of state to be charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court -- has continued to say that humanitarian efforts in Sudan should be \"Sudanized.\"",
"\"Within a year, we don't want to see any foreign aid group dealing with a Sudanese citizen,\" Bashir -- the first sitting head of state to be charged with war crimes by the court -- said at a rally a week after Bashir -- the first sitting head of state to be charged with war crimes by the court --'s arrest warrant was issued.",
"Holmes said that 13,000 to 14,000 aid workers in the region already were Sudanese nationals.",
"Holmes said the cooperation and technical help from the Sudanese government on the assessment was a good step forward.",
"But Holmes called it \"only the first of many steps if the people in Darfur are not going to suffer major consequences from these expulsions.\"",
"Sudan's U.N. Ambassador, Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad, has repeatedly said Sudan's U.N. Ambassador, Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad has information implicating the ousted organizations in activities contrary to their humanitarian missions.",
"Sudan's U.N. Ambassador, Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad has yet to make any of information implicating the ousted organizations in activities contrary to their humanitarian missions public.",
"One claim is that some organizations acted as spies for the International Criminal Court.",
"Holmes denied those allegations, saying those allegations remain unfounded.",
"\"Despite claims that there are dossiers of evidence, we have not been given any of that evidence,\" Holmes said.",
"\"In the absence of that, no meaningful investigation can be done.\"",
"The British aid organization, Oxfam, one of the agencies expelled from Sudan, released a statement in response to Tuesday's findings.",
"\"Current stop-gap measures will only be effective for a short time,\" a statement said.",
"\"As the rainy season arrives within the next two months, people living in weak temporary shelters, in flood-prone locations where latrines can fill and overflow, will become at extreme risk of disease and death.",
"\"With the humanitarian capacity reduced by nearly 50 percent, responding to such emergency scenarios will be an enormous challenge for others to tackle,\" Oxfam said."

"Officials viewing the satellite imagery looked for fresh graves after the attack and found only 18 new plots, just in the village area, he said.",
"A U.S. patrol then went to the village area August 26.",
"A U.S. patrol confirmed those graves but found no others, the source said.",
"The cell phone images were recently shown to Gen. David McKiernan, the top NATO commander, who over the weekend asked for a high-level review of the previous military investigation.",
"That probe concluded the United States was only responsible for a handful of civilian deaths.",
"One of the NATO officials said it appears there were a number of villagers buried in the rubble that the U.S. troops did not see when the U.S. troops were searching the compound targeted in the airstrike.",
"It is believed that after the U.S. troops left the compound targeted in the airstrike, villagers pulled the bodies from the rubble and buried the bodies.",
"Locals apparently took cell phone images and showed them to U.N. investigators, who recently showed them to McKiernan, leading him to request a review.",
"McKiernan learned of The grainy cell phone video only after The grainy cell phone video was shown to McKiernan at the U.N. headquarters in Kabul a few days ago.",
"\"In light of emerging evidence pertaining to civilian casualties in the August 22 counter-insurgency operation in the Shindand District, Herat province, I feel it is prudent to request that U.S. Central Command send a general officer to review the U.S. investigation and its findings with respect to this new evidence,\" McKiernan said Sunday in statement.",
"\"The people of Afghanistan have our commitment to get to the truth,\" McKiernan said.",
"Afghanistan's government and the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan concluded that 90 civilians were killed in the August 22 airstrike in the western Afghan province of Herat.",
"UNAMA said it found \"convincing\" evidence that 60 children, 15 women and 15 men were killed in the strike.",
"But the initial investigation by the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan found that 30 to 35 Taliban militants and five to seven civilians were killed.",
"The findings have been handed over to McKiernan.",
"After Afghanistan concluded Afghanistan's investigation, ministers demanded a review of international troops within Afghanistan's borders.",
"On August 25, Afghanistan's Council of Ministers called on the Defense and Foreign Affairs ministries to start negotiating a \"status of forces\" agreement with international forces -- which include U.S. and NATO troops.",
"Afghanistan's Council of Ministers also asked that the Defense and Foreign Affairs ministries demand the international forces halt airstrikes on civilian targets, as well as house searches not coordinated with Afghan authorities and the illegal detention of civilians.",
"That same day, Afghan President Hamid Karzai announced that Afghan President Hamid Karzai had fired two military commanders, including Gen. Jalandar Shah, the Afghan army corps' commander for western Afghanistan.",
"The humanitarian watchdog group Human Rights Watch released a report Monday saying that U.S. and NATO airstrikes in Afghanistan almost tripled from 2006 to 2007, \"fueling a public backlash.\"",
"a report added that this year, there has been a \"massive and unprecedented surge in the use of airpower\" there.",
"Afghan President Hamid Karzai has blamed U.S.-led coalition forces for failing to coordinate U.S.-led coalition forces's attack with the Afghan army.",
"However, coalition officials said Afghan and coalition troops called in the airstrike as they embarked on a raid to arrest a Taliban commander in Shindand.",
"The coalition investigation found that U.S. and Afghan forces began taking fire from Taliban militants as the forces approached the target in the early hours of August 22.",
"\"The intensity of the enemy fire justified use of well-aimed small-arms fire and close-air support to defend the combined force,\" the coalition said in a statement released shortly after the attack.",
"\"The type and application of fires were used in accordance with existing rules of engagement.\"",
"Mullah Sadiq, a known Taliban commander, was among the militants killed, the coalition said.",
"A U.S. military official, who declined to be named because The coalition investigation is ongoing, cast doubt on reports that the attack killed civilians gathered in a room, reciting Quranic verses at 1 a.m. Regarding reports that most of the 90 deaths were children",
", the official said there were not 50 children in the entire village.",
"the attack was on a legitimate target, the official said, noting that coalition forces found a weapons cache -- including AK-47s, 4,000 rounds of ammunition and bomb-making materials -- as well as thousands of dollars in U.S. currency.",
"Investigators also discovered \"firm evidence\" that militants had planned to attack a nearby coalition base, the coalition statement said.",
"the attack disrupted militants's plan, the coalition statement said.",
"the official interviewed more than 30 people, both Afghan and American, the coalition statement said.",
"the official also viewed video taken during the engagement, topographic photos of the area before and after, reports from ground and air personnel involved, reports from local medical clinics and hospitals, intelligence reports, and physical data and photographs collected on the site.",
"Last week, Karzai spoke to President Bush \"in general terms\" about the incident, the White House said in a statement.",
"the White House gave no further details."

"Explorer Dennis Schmitt found an island nearly two years ago near Greenland.",
"Fishermen pass by Greenland's Ilulissat fjord in this September 2004 picture.",
"Such a discovery would usually elicit curiosity, even wonder perhaps, but Such a discovery evoked mixed feelings for the explorer.",
"an island was once thought to be a peninsula attached to Greenland by an ice shelf or a glacier.",
"But such a large amount of ice melted, it revealed an island.",
"\"I very quickly realized two things,\" Explorer Dennis Schmitt told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a visit to an island earlier this year.",
"\"One [was] that Such a discovery was going to be significant because Such a discovery was going to be an example of climate change.\"",
"\"The other thing was that Such a discovery meant Such a discovery was really happening.",
"It wasn't a joke.",
"It wasn't just statistics.",
"It was really happening.\"",
"Explorer Dennis Schmitt calls Explorer Dennis Schmitt's discovery an island.",
"Many climatologists and scientists say arctic ice melt and other changes in the Earth's climate are the result of an increase in the world's temperature, a trend widely called global warming.",
"Many global warming experts say the phenomenon, if unchecked, is capable of altering the world's climate and geography.",
"In the worst-case scenario, experts say oceans could rise to overwhelming and catastrophic levels, flooding cities and altering seashores.",
"Other scientists and observers, a minority compared to those who believe the warming trend is something ominous, say it is simply the latest shift in the cyclical patterns of a planet's life.",
"Most of the scientific community believes that some warming is occurring across the globe and through some layers of the atmosphere.",
"But why it is occurring and what that means for the future is scientifically and politically contentious.",
"the Earth's temperature averages about 60 degrees Fahrenheit (about 16 degrees Celsius).",
"The average surface temperature has warmed one degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius) during the last century, according to the National Research Council.",
"The temperatures were relatively unchanged from 1880 to 1910, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.",
"They rose till about 1945, cooled until about 1975 and have risen steadily to present day.",
"There are several possible reasons for the warming, scientists say.",
"A change in the Earth's orbit or the intensity of the sun's radiation could change, triggering warming or cooling.",
"The reason most cited -- by scientists and scientific organizations -- for the current warming trend is an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, which are in the atmosphere naturally and help keep the planet's temperature at a comfortable level.",
"The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, for instance, has increased by 35 percent since the dawn of the industrial age, according to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, commonly referred to as the IPCC.",
"The presence of methane is now 151 percent above pre-industrial levels, but the rate of increase has slowed in recent decades, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.",
"Meanwhile, nitrous oxide increased by about 18 percent during the past 200 years.",
"Many scientists and experts who have studied global warming believe the increase is primarily the result of human activities, like the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from vehicles and the clearing of forests.",
"\"For the last 30 years, there's no way there's anything natural that can explain it,\" Stephen Schneider, a professor of environmental studies at Stanford University in California, said.",
"\"A vast bulk of the knowledgeable and honest community ... will say the science is settled and humans are at least a majority of the reason behind the warming,\" he added.",
"Many scientific organizations share Schneider's view, ranging from the national academies of the countries that comprise the G8 to the National Research Council, the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union.",
"But there are those who do not share his view, and among the skeptics is Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.",
"\"We've suddenly taken to reading tea leaves,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"When we saw cooling from 1940 to 1970, we were proclaiming global cooling.",
"Since then, there's been a few tenths of global warming, so we're proclaiming global warming.\"",
"Lindzen believes the current warming trend is the result of natural variability, where a planet goes through phases of warming and cooling and the human contribution to it is minimal.",
"\"The Earth is always getting colder and warmer,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"It's always changing.",
"In fact, this is true of any fluid-covered planet.\"",
"Asked about glacial melt, which many observers point to as evidence of global warming, Lindzen said the way glaciers change and move are phenomena largely unexplained.",
"\"We don't know why, but it's perfectly clear that glaciers change even though the temperature is cooling at the place that they've occurred,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"What we're doing is cherry picking any event that occurs and then saying that's occurring due to global warming.\"",
"Yet, for Schneider, it is a cause for concern and alarm.",
"\"We're already in serious melt, nobody can explain it.",
"The models don't predict it,\" Schneider said.",
"\"We don't know what's going on up there.",
"All we know is that we could be triggering something really nasty.\"",
"The greatest point of contention is the possible implications for future political and economic policies for the world's nations.",
"The IPCC in February 2007 projected that if carbon dioxide levels doubled relative to pre-industrial levels, temperatures could rise between 3.6 to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit (2 to 4.5 degrees Celsius) by 2100.",
"The lower end of the range could cause more intense hurricanes, droughts, wildfires and flooding, Schneider said.",
"The higher end could lead to the catastrophes commonly associated with the visions of Hollywood filmmakers.",
"Uncertainties, however, plague such forecasts, which are based on computer simulations and models.",
"The models contemplate factors associated with how the atmosphere, oceans and continents interact, all natural elements that have unpredictability intrinsic to them.",
"\"Exactly how much it's going to warm up, we don't know,\" Schneider said.",
"\"That it's going to warm up?",
"I'd bet anything on that.\"",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"To this day, Linda Haywood recalls the shame Linda Haywood once felt for Linda Haywood's great-uncle.",
"Johnson was convicted of transporting a white woman across state lines for \"immoral purposes.\"",
"\"I could see from the expression on my mother's face that it pained her to tell me about Johnson,\" Linda Haywood recalled, \"but it wasn't just her.",
"the shame she once felt for her great-uncle was there for all the members of my family.\"",
"Linda Haywood's great-uncle, Johnson, shocked the nation in 1908 by becoming the first African-American world heavyweight champion.",
"Yet the boxer was arrested not long afterward for taking a white woman across state lines for \"immoral\" purposes.",
"That case fell apart and a white woman later became Johnson's wife, but then investigators charged Johnson with a similar offense involving a woman Johnson had dated years earlier.",
"An all-white jury's decision to convict Johnson in that case has come to be widely viewed as a symbol of racial injustice.",
"Now Linda Haywood is working with Sen. John McCain and others to try to clear Linda Haywood's great-uncle's name.",
"John McCain wants the Senate to pass a resolution urging President Obama to grant Johnson a presidential pardon.",
"a resolution urging President Obama to grant Johnson a presidential pardon would represent a final vindication for Haywood, a 53-year-old seamstress in Chicago who now views Linda Haywood's great-uncle with pride.",
"Linda Haywood's parents didn't tell Linda Haywood until Linda Haywood was 12 that Linda Haywood was related to Johnson, even though Linda Haywood saw Johnson's photo at school during lessons on black history.",
"\"I remember seeing Johnson's picture on the wall of my sixth-grade classroom in Chicago in 1966,\" Linda Haywood said in a voice tinged with sadness.",
"\"It was up there next to pictures of Sojourner Truth and George Washington Carver as part of a black history week my teacher put together.",
"I didn't have the first clue who the man was.",
"Her parents didn't want me to know.\"",
"Linda Haywood's parents, Linda Haywood said, were trying to protect Linda Haywood from a legacy of racial injustice at a time when the country had yet to emerge from the long shadow of segregation.",
"Linda Haywood was stunned when Linda Haywood learned Linda Haywood's great-uncle's story.",
"Less than five years after winning the heavyweight title, Johnson was convicted for violating the Mann Act, which outlawed the transportation of women across state lines for \"immoral\" purposes.",
"Johnson was black and the woman was white -- enough to get even a champion imprisoned in early 20th century America.",
"Justice Department lawyers decried it as a \"crime against nature\" for Johnson to have a sexual relationship with a white woman.",
"Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, later to become the first commissioner of Major League Baseball, set Johnson's bail at $30,000 -- the equivalent of more than $660,000 today.",
"When a bail bondsman showed up, Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis jailed a bail bondsman, too, according to an account that filmmaker Ken Burns relays in his documentary, \"Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Johnson.\"",
"An all-white jury convicted Johnson in less than two hours.",
"\"Johnson was perhaps persecuted as an individual, but ... it was Johnson's misfortune to be the foremost example of the evil in permitting the intermarriage of whites and blacks,\" one of the prosecutors later said.",
"Johnson's real crime, in the eyes of many, was committed three years earlier, when Johnson successfully defended Johnson's boxing title against Jim Jeffries, a white boxer who came to be called the \"Great White Hope\" because many white fans saw him as the best chance to wrest back a boxing title from the African-American champ.",
"Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion, had come out of retirement intending to reclaim a title that many Americans believed Johnson had no right to in the first place.",
"Johnson beat Jeffries on July 4, 1910, before a stunned, almost entirely white crowd in Reno, Nevada.",
"Race riots followed.",
"More than 20 people were killed and hundreds were injured.",
"Most victims were black.",
"So when they \"couldn't beat Johnson in the ring, the white power establishment decided to beat Johnson in the courts,\" Burns said in Jack Johnson's documentary.",
"Johnson fled to Europe in 1913 while free on appeal.",
"But after years of fights overseas -- including the eventual loss of Johnson's title in Havana, Cuba, in 1915 -- Johnson came home.",
"Johnson turned Johnson over to U.S. authorities at the Mexican border in 1920 and served ten months in prison.",
"Johnson died in a car wreck in 1946.",
"\"Back then, if you were black and you were told that you did something wrong, you really had no recourse,\" said Linda Haywood.",
"\"You just accepted what was done because black people were basically powerless and voiceless.",
"Johnson may have been a rich boxer, but Johnson couldn't fight the system.\"",
"Today, in a very different America, Linda Haywood's family is seeking justice.",
"Haywood's family've teamed up with Burns, John McCain and Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, to urge the nation's first African-American president to grant Johnson a rare posthumous pardon.",
"John McCain and King introduced resolutions calling for a presidential pardon in 2005 and last year.",
"The House passed it, but the Senate did not.",
"The White House declined to comment when asked Obama's views on a possible pardon for Johnson.",
"McCain, who says John McCain made a mistake by once voting against a federal holiday for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., sees the pardon as a way to right an old wrong.",
"\"The Johnson case is an ignominious stain on the nation's history,\" John McCain said on the Senate floor this month, while introducing a new version of a resolution urging President Obama to grant Johnson a presidential pardon.",
"\"Rectifying this injustice is long overdue.",
"[a resolution urging President Obama to grant Johnson a presidential pardon recognizes] the unjustness of what transpired, and sheds light on the achievements of an athlete who was forced into the shadows of bigotry and prejudice.",
"Johnson ... deserved much better than a racially motivated conviction.\"",
"King, himself a former boxer, said in a written statement that Johnson was a trailblazer who became \"a victim of the times.\"",
"For Linda Haywood, the pardon is also personal.",
"It's about wiping the slate clean for future generations of Linda Haywood's family.",
"\"My mother used to say Johnson was defiant,\" Linda Haywood remembered.",
"\"No disrespect, momma, but Johnson was being Johnson's own man.",
"And I'm so proud of Johnson.",
"To think -- of all the families in the world, God gave Johnson to Haywood's family.\"",
"Linda Haywood has made sure Linda Haywood's four children know the story of Johnson.",
"\"her four children love Johnson,\" Linda Haywood said.",
"\"Especially my oldest son.",
"Especially my oldest son was a bit of a pugilist in high school.",
"Especially my oldest son got into Especially my oldest son's fair share of scraps.",
"I think Haywood's family know where Especially my oldest son got that trait.\"",
"Linda Haywood says Linda Haywood'll go to Washington if Obama issues a pardon.",
"With a bit of laughter, Linda Haywood promises to give a gracious, eloquent speech thanking him.",
"With or without a pardon, Linda Haywood emphasizes, the stigma and the shame are gone.",
"Today, Johnson's family feels only pride."

"(CNN) --",
"Workers at a Corpus Christi State School state school for mentally handicapped adults are believed to have been staging a \"fight club\" among residents, encouraging them to physically battle one another, police told CNN Tuesday.",
"A cell phone containing videos of the alleged abuse at the Corpus Christi State School in Corpus Christi, Texas, was turned over to police last week, and authorities are expecting to file arrest warrants this week, Corpus Christi State School police Capt. Tim Wilson told CNN.",
"The incidents are believed to have taken place in a school dormitory, Wilson said.",
"\"This has been going on for some time,\" Wilson said.",
"\"That is what makes this an exceptional case.",
"It is not the workers abusing the clients, so to speak.",
"the workers are not hitting them, but the workers are allowing these clients to fight with each other, thereby endangering their well-being.\"",
"\"the workers are charged with the care and custody of these clients, and the workers are exploiting (them),\" Wilson said.",
"Those involved will likely face charges of injury of a disabled person, Wilson said.",
"The charge's severity can range up to a third-class felony, depending on the extent of a person's involvement, Wilson said.",
"The actual charges, however are left up to the Nueces County District Attorney, which is participating in the investigation along with the Texas Inspector General's Office, Wilson said.",
"Seven school employees have been placed on paid emergency leave by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, according to spokeswoman Cecilia Fedorov.",
"Some former workers also will be interviewed, authorities said.",
"spokeswoman Cecilia Fedorov said the agency received a phone call Friday from the state Department of Family and Protective Services, saying they had been alerted to the situation by police and were opening an investigation into possible abuse or neglect.",
"Seven school employees cannot come on to campus, but must sign in at the gate every day",
"Seven school employees are on leave, spokeswoman Cecilia Fedorov said.",
"State officials are awaiting the outcome of the investigation to determine whether State officials should take further action, spokeswoman Cecilia Fedorov said.",
"Wilson said Corpus Christi police received the cell phone a week ago, when a citizen found the cell phone and gave the cell phone to an officer working security at a hospital.",
"officer looked at several of the videos, then gave the cell phone to the police's forensic unit for analysis.",
"More videos were found in the cell phone's memory.",
"\"It appears it was some sort of a fight club,\" Wilson said.",
"Twenty videos were found on the cell phone, with dates going back about a year.",
"Twenty videos featured the school's \"clients,\" who are severely mentally handicapped, Wilson said.",
"On Twenty videos, \"they (the clients) are not upset like they are being forced,\" Wilson said.",
"\"They are being more goaded into it.",
"There's a lot of voices on there from workers ... saying, 'Look at that, ha ha' ... laughing, stuff like that.\"",
"No clients are seen crying, upset or injured on Twenty videos, Wilson said, but no workers are seen stopping the fighting.",
"\"The fighting entails pushing, wrestling and some shoving,\" Wilson said.",
"Police do not believe anyone was seriously injured, Wilson said, but the investigation is ongoing.",
"\"Four or five clients have been identified and at least five workers, possibly as many as 10,\" Wilson said.",
"\"Some are more active in staging the fights, and some others passively stand around not doing anything.\"",

"Editor's note: Randall Balmer, an Episcopal priest, is professor of American religious history at Barnard College, Columbia University, and a visiting professor at Emory University.",
"Randall Balmer's most recent book is \"God in the White House: How Faith Shaped the Presidency from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush.\"",
"Randall Balmer supports Obama's unusual broadening of a president's words to include nonbelievers.",
"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"Obama's mention of \"nonbelievers\" in Obama's inaugural address represents an important broadening of the circle of acceptability in American life, an acknowledgement of our growing diversity and a fuller embrace of the principles articulated in our nation's charter documents.",
"One of the hallmarks of American life, dating to the 17th century, is its religious pluralism.",
"The Atlantic seaboard during the colonial period was home to everyone from Puritans, Roman Catholics and Dutch Reformed to Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Swedish Lutherans, Anglicans, Huguenots, Mennonites and Schwenckfelders.",
"Jews arrived in New Amsterdam in 1654, refugees from South America after the Portuguese takeover of Recifé.",
"Somehow it all worked, especially in the crucible of religious pluralism in the Middle Colonies: New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where William Penn launched William Penn's \"Holy Experiment\" of religious toleration.",
"In the context of the New World, these religious groups learned to coexist with remarkably little conflict, and when it came time to configure the new nation, the founders in their wisdom elected not to designate any group as the state religion.",
"\"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,\" the First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads.",
"This provision set up a kind of free market for religion in America, allowing religious groups to compete in a marketplace unfettered by government interference.",
"Indeed, American history is littered with religious entrepreneurs (to extend the economic metaphor) who have peddled their wares in this marketplace and thereby contributed to the vigor and vitality of American religious life.",
"The story of religion in America life has been one of expansion and ever-increasing diversity.",
"Although Roman Catholics were present in the colonial period -- Maryland, named for the wife of Charles I, was founded by Catholics from England -- Catholics arrived in great numbers from Ireland, Germany and Italy over the course of the 19th century.",
"Many Protestants, their hegemony threatened, resisted, sometimes with violence.",
"Jews from Germany and Eastern Europe came as well.",
"Most of the resistance was episodic.",
"With notable -- albeit unfortunate -- exceptions, we Americans eventually rise to our better selves and embrace the principles of equality and toleration enshrined in our charter documents.",
"And we can trace these changes in our rhetoric.",
"The term \"Judeo-Christian,\" although coined late in the 19th century, became popular in the 1930s as the clouds of war were gathering in Europe.",
"In 1955, after World War II, when so many sons of Jewish and Catholic immigrants fought the Axis powers, sociologist Will Herberg published a book entitled \"Protestant-Catholic-Jew,\" arguing that any of these religious expressions was legitimately \"American.\"",
"The following decade saw still more changes.",
"The civil rights struggle brought the vibrancy of African-American religious life to national attention, and Lyndon Johnson's signature on the Hart-Cellar Immigration Act in 1965 removed immigration quotas.",
"In the decades since, the arrival of people from around the world, especially from South Asia and Southeast Asia, has literally recast the religious landscape of America.",
"Muslim mosques, Hindu temples, Sikh Gurdwäräs and Buddhist stupas have sprouted across America, from cities to the countryside.",
"And America's rhetoric has evolved as well.",
"Whereas America might once have been described as a \"Protestant\" nation and then a \"Christian\" nation (to reflect the inclusion of Roman Catholics), we moved to \"Judeo-Christian\" and then \"Protestant-Catholic-Jew.\"",
"More recently, we have talked about the \"Abrahamic Traditions,\" Jews, Christians and Muslims, thereby broadening the circle to include Islam, one of the three major monotheistic religions.",
"Even with this broadening landscape, however, presidents have generally acknowledged only believers and failed to mention atheists or agnostics.",
"our rhetoric, in fact, has always lagged behind our reality.",
"When Obama declared, \"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,\" Obama sent a signal that it's time, once again, to enlarge the circle of inclusiveness, consistent with the great American tradition of equality and toleration.",
"Although I'm sure that Buddhists and Jains and Sikhs and countless other religious adherents would like to have been included in the president's roll call, the message was clear: We are a diverse nation, and the \"free exercise\" of religion guaranteed in the First Amendment also protects the exercise of no religion at all.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Randall Balmer."
